Chapter 87: Role Call
Jason noticed Ellie's desire to become a combatant, which reminded him of her clumsy attempt to poke Goblins with a Wooden Spear that morning, nearly hitting Kira.
Clearly, Ellie's close combat skills were lacking, and she needed to toughen up mentally.
Of course, these minor issues would resolve themselves as she gained more combat experience.
In essence, Ellie was simply inexperienced in battle.
So, Jason smiled and explained to Ellie, "A sharpshooter is also a combatant but with an added responsibility."
"Don't worry; I'll focus on developing your skills, and you'll get to use any decent ranged weapons and skills we find in the future."
Ellie's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she felt that being a sharpshooter sounded pretty good.
So, Ellie quickly asked, "Jason, what's the extra responsibility of a sharpshooter?"
Chloe and the other women all looked at Jason with curiosity.
Jason explained, "I got intel from Sonny that there will be ranged shooting items in the future, which need someone with accuracy to use. That will be your job."
"Especially in pursuer mode, we'll often need ranged shooting items. Whether we can escape from the pursuers will depend on your shooting talent."
Jason used Sonny to cover up his knowledge of the future. Sonny was a celebrity now, and the women all knew his fortune-telling abilities were incredible, so they wouldn't doubt him.
Ellie immediately jumped up excitedly upon hearing this, patting her chest to guarantee she would become a great sharpshooter.
Then, Ellie raised an eyebrow at Lily with a smug look on her face that she couldn't hide.
The two women had somehow started competing with each other.
Of course, they had no bad intentions; the competition was just to see who was better.
Lily was naturally envious of Ellie but pretended to be indifferent, rolling her eyes.
It's just a sharpshooter; what's there to show off?
Once her strength improved, she could easily beat Ellie in close combat.
Then, Lily looked expectantly at Jason, her eyes almost telling him directly that she wanted to be a combatant.
She had already hinted to Jason that she wanted to become a powerhouse, kill monsters, and loot Bronze Chest when they chatted earlier.
Jason also sensed Lily's gaze, so he announced the combatants.
"As for the combatants in our team, we have Chloe, Kira, Lily, and Ellie. From now on, the team's Attribute Orbs will mainly be used to develop you four."
Chloe and Kira were a given. Jason trusted them completely, and the two women were already becoming his right-hand men.

Jason wasn't surprised that Lily wanted to become stronger. In the previous life, they often leaned on each other at night on the bus, talking about their expectations and fantasies, encouraging each other to survive.
Lily had often fantasized about becoming a powerhouse in the future...
Now that Lily still had this idea, Jason would naturally help her become a powerhouse.
Then, Jason looked at Jenna, Tiffany, and Sophie.
"Although you are not combatants, you will still get Attribute Orbs in the future. I don't need you to fight, but you must have the strength to protect yourselves."
Jenna and the three women nodded in unison. They were not very interested in fighting in the first place.
So, they didn't have any complaints about not becoming combatants.
Currently, only Tiffany and Sophie had not been assigned positions.
Jason first looked at Tiffany and asked, "Tiffany, are you interested in taking charge of the team's logistics?"
Actually, Jason had originally wanted Tiffany to be the team's driver, but he learned that she couldn't drive when they were chatting earlier.
After some thought, Jason decided to let Tiffany handle the team's logistics.
Logistics actually meant helping Jason sell items to earn resources and Escape Coins, replacing Chloe and the other women in selling Wooden Spear at night.
Chloe had sold a large number of Wooden Spear for three consecutive days and had been noticed by someone who was interested.
Someone had even privately messaged Chloe to ask why she was making so many Wooden Spear, so Chloe and the women would definitely not be able to sell other items in large quantities in the future.
If someone found out that Chloe and the women were all in Jason's RV, then Jason's ability to collect Blueprints would not be able to be hidden.
So, Jason decided to let Tiffany be responsible for the team's logistics.
Tiffany wouldn't buy and sell supplies in the chat channel like Chloe, but would trade valuable resources with various teams privately.
For low-end supplies like Wooden Spear, Tiffany only needed to find a few people on the bus to help sell them.
Even if someone wanted to investigate, it would be difficult to find out about Tiffany.
Jason told Tiffany about the responsibilities of logistics. Tiffany's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she liked the job that Jason arranged.
Tiffany was very shrewd and good at calculating, so she was very suitable to help Jason with this kind of thing.
Finally, Jason smiled and looked at Sophie and said, "Sophie, I want you to be responsible for the team's medical care in the future."
"I will give you any healing skills or related items and props we find in the future."
Sophie nodded quickly after hearing this: "Okay, okay, I listen to Jason."
Sophie had a relatively weak personality, and Jason felt that she was very suitable for medical care.
However, skills in this area were very rare, even more precious than combat skills, and Jason would have a hard time finding them in a short period of time.
So, Jason looked at Sophie and continued, "Sophie, I also want to temporarily give you a task that is not difficult."
Sophie nodded excitedly upon hearing this. Jason had her responsible for medical care. But she had no medical skills, and she was just an idler in the car.
While the other sisters had things to do, she naturally didn't want to be idle.
Jason gave her another task out of this consideration.
"Our team is still short of people responsible for intelligence, and we need you to fill in temporarily..."
Because Jason participated in the Zombie Dungeon, there were significant differences from the previous life.
Jason couldn't always rely on the intelligence from the previous life.
So, Jason needed Sophie to monitor the chat channel and also develop some intelligence personnel.
The Hurricane World would end in three days, and then they would enter the next extreme heat world. At that time, they would merge with people from other regions, and the chat channel would have a total of 20,000 people.
Among them was a very powerful large group of thousands of people, led by Wang Ling.
Jason needed Sophie to befriend some women on the bus now.
If any of these women joined feminism, Sophie might be able to find out the internal intelligence of feminism.
In the previous life, David's team and feminism often had friction, conflicts, and battles.
Jason replaced David in this life, and it was estimated that he would also have conflicts with feminism.
Therefore, arranging some intelligence personnel inside feminism in advance was beneficial for gaining the upper hand.
Now that Jason had arranged the positions of all the women, he found that there were still women missing in the RV.
Especially female drivers with good driving skills.
However, Jason couldn't recruit people these days, so he could only wait and see in the extreme heat world.
