Looking at Charles, David pondered for a moment before saying, "Perhaps with the help of others, you can better utilize your abilities as a stargazer. After all, this is a world where strength is magnified through unity. Only by standing together can we unleash greater power."

Finishing his words, David quietly observed Charles, hoping to catch a glimpse of any change in his expression. True enough, upon hearing David's words, Charles paused for a moment, and a complex expression appeared on his face. He naturally understood the underlying meaning of David's words. However, he was just a stargazer, someone who could foresee events and divine the darkness, but he had a fatal flaw—he had no combat abilities.

After all, stargazers were supportive supernatural beings, or in other words, fragile. They couldn't charge into battle like tanks. Even if they stood at the rear of the team, they could only rely on others for protection. Charles was well aware of this weakness.

This was also why Charles had always been alone. He had considered joining certain squads before, but as soon as the other party learned that he was a stargazer, their faces immediately showed disdain and contempt.

Clearly, no one wanted to have a burden in their team that would significantly diminish their combat effectiveness or even lead to the team's downfall. No one was willing to risk their lives for someone else. So, for all this time, Charles had been wandering alone.

Now, upon hearing David's words, Charles shook his head self-deprecatingly, sighed, and said, "I'm just a stargazer without any offensive power. No one needs me, and I'm used to being on my own, not relying on others."

Listening to Charles, David spoke again, "In my opinion, your abilities can surpass those of any other supernatural being. This is an unknown world, and none of us know what kind of zombies will appear tomorrow. No one knows how this world will change. But you can, you can use your abilities to foresee what will happen in advance. Isn't that your combat strength? Combat strength isn't necessarily about wielding a weapon; sometimes, wielding the unknown is the most terrifying power."

As soon as David finished speaking, Charles suddenly lifted his head, looking at him with surprise. "Wielding the unknown... is the most terrifying power..." Charles murmured these words quietly. No one had ever said such things to him before, and no one had been willing to acknowledge his abilities. In the eyes of others, he was only a burden, a defenseless weakling, someone whose existence would only become a laughingstock.

But in David's eyes, everything had changed. For the first time, he heard someone recognize him, and Charles felt a surge of excitement. His once lifeless gaze suddenly became bright.

David saw all of this and seized the opportunity to continue, "If you're willing, I hope you can join my team. I need you, and my team needs you."

Finishing his words, he looked at Charles with sincere eyes. Charles lowered his head, and tears welled up in his eyes. He had waited for decades in this world just for this sentence, "I need you." And now, he finally heard it. He no longer had to wander alone in fear in this world, nor did he have to contemplate the vast darkness on his own.

With that, he raised his head, his eyes filled with excitement, and nodded at David. "Thank you. It's an honor for me." After saying that, he reached out his hand towards David.

David smiled slightly and reached out his hand, shaking hands with Charles. "Welcome to my team. From now on, we're family. We will face dangers together and solve difficulties together. In this process, each one of us is the support for the others."

Charles nodded heavily. At this moment, his excitement couldn't be described in words.

"Oh, by the way, you can absorb these three crystals later. They can enhance your physical defense. Consider them as a gift for joining the team." Thinking that Charles was a mage with no combat power, David quickly took out three defense crystals from the warehouse system and handed them over.

As Charles looked at the three shimmering crystals in his hand, he was amazed. Feeling the warm sensation emanating from the crystals, he immediately understood that their quality must be extraordinary. He looked at David in surprise. Giving such precious crystals as a gift right after they met? And they were even defense crystals? That was too generous.

If Charles were to find out that there were dozens more of these crystals in David's warehouse system, as well as millions of primary crystals, his worldview would likely be shattered. But Charles didn't suspect a thing. He nodded while holding the three crystals and put them into his pocket.

At the same time, David called out the other members of his team. Everyone was surprised to see this unknown man suddenly appear. David smiled and pointed at Charles, introducing him to the others. "Charles, the stargazer. He can foresee the future and now he's a member of our team. Welcome, everyone!"

After speaking, David clapped happily. Charles smiled and nodded at everyone.

"stargazer,That's a cool ability!" Arnold walked over curiously and introduced himself, "I'm Arnold, a werewolf awakened with special abilities."

Others also introduced themselves one after another.

"Duke, shadow ability awakened."

"Sally, mutant lightning ability awakened."

"Sophie, healing ability awakened."

At the same time, they looked at Charles with friendly eyes. Although it was their first time meeting him, they understood that as long as David chose someone, there would be no problem. After all, they had also come together through David's selection process. So they had absolute trust in David.

"I hope everyone will take care of me in the future." Charles politely said, listening to everyone's explanations. At the same time, he looked at David with curiosity in his eyes.

David naturally understood his thoughts and spoke slowly, "David, spatial ability awakened." He paused for a moment and then added, "Level 7 Awakened."

"David, when did you reach Level 7? That's incredible!" Arnold exclaimed in surprise upon hearing that David was already a Level 7 Awakened. The others also looked at David, their faces filled with disbelief.
