Chapter 44 Cooperation, speculation about the world
"First, there are nine people in total including you and me who have obtained the silver treasure chest. How do you convince the other seven people to join this organization?"
Ji Chaoyang may have expected that Xu Xin would ask this question, and said in a relaxed tone: "Among the remaining nine people, the three ranked third, fifth and seventh are the ones I have been communicating with during the novice protection period, and they are also The silver treasure chest was obtained with my help, so we only need to deal with the remaining four people. The key to this matter actually lies with you.”
"Me?"
Hearing Ji Chaoyang's words, Xu Xin was secretly shocked.
There are only nine people in total who have obtained the silver treasure chest, and four of them, including Ji Chaoyang himself, are related to him!
This guy is really a boss!
"That's right, if you join our organization, then we are the only ones in the entire 188th District who can make metal weapons, armor and tools. I believe you have seen those things. The performance of the green level is basically better than those made before. Blue level equipment.
Iron ore and other metal ores are currently scarce, and we only have two people, so our production capacity is insufficient. So if we declare to the outside world that the metal tools made by the two of us are only open to trade within the organization at this stage, then what do you think they will choose?
As the top ten players in the event, they must want to become stronger. Not to mention that there are strong people in our organization, so the exchange of resources and information must be much more efficient than their own exploration.
At the same time, our organization does not have any mandatory requirements, and there is no harm at all, so why not do it? ”
Good guy, it’s a monopoly, right? It sounds a bit capitalist.
Xu Xin nodded secretly. There is nothing wrong with what Ji Chaoyang said. Even Xu Xin himself would definitely join such an organization if he encountered it. According to him, the only restriction may be the unified pricing of materials.
But there are nine people who have obtained the silver treasure chest, which is not a lot. Compared with setting prices individually, the prices are becoming more and more involution, and unified pricing has more advantages.
"Then the second question is, how do members of the organization communicate with each other?"
Ji Chaoyang smiled and said, "You must have interacted with very few people these days, Xu Xin."
“Not much indeed.”
"After the novice protection period, the treehouse has opened a group chat-like function. Currently, each person can only join one group chat. I was in the same group chat with the three people who got the silver treasure chest. We can re-form a group chat. Group chat." Ji Chaoyang explained.
"Can I ask how you helped them find the silver treasure chest?" Xu Xin was very curious about this, because the process of getting the silver treasure chest was very strange, and he didn't know if others were like him.
"Of course you can. You also got your silver treasure chest from the stream, right?"
"Yes."
"I just told them that my silver treasure chest is in the stream, and asked them to explore along the stream and be careful of the monsters in the stream. You should have noticed that where the treasure chest is, the flow of the stream has become slower. It is a little bit different, and the sound of water flow is slightly different.”
Is the stream slowing down? The sound of water flowing? Xu Xin frowned and thought about it.
No? The stream was still so fast that he didn't pay much attention to the sound of water flowing. Could it be that the Deinosuchus he encountered was different from others?
"Are all the silver treasure chests in the stream?" Xu Xin continued to ask.
"I don't know, there are actually several people in that group chat, but only three of them found the treasure chest."
"Then what kind of monsters did you encounter in the stream? I am a crocodile." Xu Xin concealed the fact that the crocodile did not attack him and asked tentatively.
The Deinosuchus did not attack him, and even gave him a silver treasure box for free, which made Xu Xin feel more and more strange the more he thought about it.
"My side was a turtle as big as a round table. It was lying on the bottom of the stream. As soon as I got close, it suddenly attacked me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly to block it, but it still bit my weapon directly." Ji Chaoyang's tone was a bit heartbreaking, "That was a blue-level weapon! Fortunately, the turtle was broken into pieces because of the protection of the tree house, otherwise I might have been carried there."
Sure enough, the Deinosuchus that Xu Xin encountered was indeed different.
A turtle as big as a dining table is indeed very big, but at best it can be regarded as a tooth sacrifice to that crocodile.
What the hell is that crocodile? His red dot doesn't show up on the map either.
When he was in the underground world, all those monsters appeared on the map. Could it be that this giant crocodile was not an underground creature?
"How about Xu Xin, are you interested in creating this organization with me?" Ji Chaoyang couldn't help but asked when he saw Xu Xin was silent for a long time.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Xu Xin replied.
"Haha, happy cooperation!" Ji Chaoyang smiled and clapped his hands, "When the time is right, I will set up a group chat to bring you in. By the way, can we video chat? I don't know what you look like yet, and some things are face to face. It’s more appropriate to talk.”
"Of course." Xu Xin was also very interested in Ji Chaoyang's appearance.
The two connected to the video, and Xu Xin finally saw Ji Chaoyang's appearance. He was a very gentle-looking young man with a delicate appearance and meticulous hairstyle. He was wearing the same novice two-piece suit as Xu Xin. Unlike Xu Xin, his clothes look much cleaner and neater than Xu Xin's, and they must have been specially taken care of.
"You are quite handsome." Ji Chaoyang was a little surprised to see Xu Xin's appearance. Maybe Xu Xin's appearance did not match the image in his mind.
"To be honest, I thought you were a strong man at first." Xu Xin replied with a smile.
"Haha. We will be partners from now on. Now let's talk about things that only the two of us know." Ji Chaoyang's expression became serious, "Xu Xin, what do you think about the monsters in the underground world?"
"We will definitely face them in the future. This is probably the reason why we came to this world." Xu Xin expressed his opinion, "Even on the ground now, if it is not within the protection range of the tree house, there will be Under attack from these underground creatures, they are omnipresent. Compared with wild beasts, they are our real enemies.”
"I agree with this, but Xu Xin, have you ever thought about whether the monsters attacking us on the ground and the ones underground are really the same monsters?"
"What do you mean?" Xu Xin frowned.
"You should also have discovered that although the types of monsters that attack us on the ground and those underground are similar, the difference in size is very large. The monsters in the underground world are obviously much larger."
"Well, that's true." To be honest, Xu Xin felt that the crocodile was not too small, but thinking of its specialness, she nodded in agreement with Ji Chaoyang's statement.
"And I observed on the edge of the cliff for a long time and found that the monsters underground did not seem to have the ability to fly thousands of meters to the ground."
Xu Xin frowned even more: "You mean, the monsters that attacked us are not the monsters underground?"
Ji Chaoyang pondered for a moment and said: "Those monsters that attacked us should also live underground, but they do not live in the underground world we see, but in the soil under our feet. We should separate these two kinds of monsters." Look.”
Xu Xin gradually clarified her thoughts: "You mean, there are currently three types of monsters, beasts on the ground, medium monsters in the soil, and large monsters underground?"
Although it is a medium-sized monster, it is still much larger than the beast. The piranha is easily ten meters long.
"Yes, and in my opinion, these monsters in the soil under our feet seem to be miniature monsters in the underground world. They may have been artificially created and put here."
Xu Xin's eyes narrowed, and she pondered for a moment and said: "The purpose is to familiarize us with the monsters underground in advance?"
"That's right."
The two looked at each other, and both saw a little panic in each other's eyes.
I'm afraid they really are a bunch of guinea pigs.
Xu Xin suddenly thought of the skeleton underground.
They are not the first people to come to this world. Before them, there were others who had arrived early.
Are those people survivors, or are they the ones who control the world? (End of chapter)
