eflecting on the Mission
Everyone returned to the Floating Island and settled onto the sofas in the living room to rest.
Yuto Saito addressed the group. "Everyone did a great job this time. The 100,000 zombies provided a lot of experience, and we even accidentally harvested a sixth-order mutant catfish."
Chen Xinyu said with lingering fear, "That catfish ran right in my direction; it scared me." After all, Chen Xinyu currently only had six-star combat power, and a suddenly appearing sixth-order monster was indeed very powerful.
Yuqi calmly reassured her, "Don't worry, the Captain killed it before it even got to you."
Yun Yun said softly, "Xiaotu, there were many helicopters in the sky just now. They should be from the military."
Yuto Saito nodded slightly. "Yes, it should be the local military in Sandong, coming to collect the bodies."
Ni Shuang smiled brightly. "The corpses of 100,000 zombies will probably take them a long time to clean up!"
Yuto Saito clarified, "Everyone in the military has a collection ring. As long as they put on the gloves and the ring, the bodies will be collected quickly. We don't have to worry about it."
Ruoruo was very excited. "I gained a lot of experience this time, almost 10 million experience!"
Juzi added, "Yes, among the 100,000 zombies, most were ordinary. There were many first- and second-order zombies, and several fifth-order zombie kings. In total, that's 3.33 million experience. With my triple experience pill, that's 9.99 million experience—really cool!"
This time, earning 3.33 million base experience, Yuto Saito, with his 10x experience pill, gained 33.3 million experience. Regardless of character or talent level, upgrading from Level 6 to Level 7 required 10 million experience. Yuto Saito's current experience was enough to raise three of them to Level 7.
Ruoruo's phone beeped, and she turned it on to take a look. Her mother had sent her a message. After reading it, Ruoruo said playfully and cutely, "Since joining the team, my status at home has gotten higher and higher!"
Juzi teased, "Ruoruo, did you have a low status in the family before?"
Ruoruo replied, "In the past, every time I went home, my mother asked me to help clean the house. I was so miserable! But they knew I had 9-star combat power, and their tone of voice was completely different."
Nako smiled. "It's normal. When you're struggling, relatives and friends might distance themselves. When you're brilliant, everyone supports you. Today's society is just that realistic."
Mina said with emotion, "My parents didn't let me do live broadcasts before; they thought I was embarrassing them. Now that they know I'm an Awakened, their attitude toward me is completely different. They've sent so many messages from yesterday to today! They're telling me to eat more, pay more attention to my body, and asking if I need help. They weren't so frequent before."
Ruoruo commented, "This is too realistic."
Mina added, "If even my parents are like this, let alone other relatives and friends."
Yuqi said, "Where there are people, there will be comparisons. When I first joined the crew, everyone revolved around the big stars. It's normal. I'm used to this kind of thing."
Ni Shuang interjected, "Let's stop talking about that. Let's think about what we're going to do next?"
Yun Yun asked, "If I remember correctly, there are already four types of sixth-order materials, right?"
Yuto Saito nodded. "Yes, the sixth-order six-winged centipede, the sixth-order giant brown bear, the sixth-order Wolf King, and the sixth-order mutant catfish. We have four types of materials, and only one more is needed to refine the Awakening Pill."
Natto cheered, "Great! I should be able to finish it today! I'll read the comments; maybe our online friends have found monsters above sixth-order." She then held her mobile phone and checked it very carefully.
Yuto Saito told everyone, "At present, the materials for the strengthening potion have been collected, and the materials for the King Kong Pill have also been collected. For the Awakening Pill, we only need one more sixth-order material. Today, everyone should try to complete this task. In addition, we need to recruit at least fifty more people. I'm going to acquire some chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, and horses this afternoon, and they will start raising them on the farm."
Juzi said happily, "Okay, now that we have chickens, I can eat eggs and drink chicken soup every day!"
Nako asked, "Little Juzi, don't we have eggs to eat already?"
Juzi explained, "I mean, supplies are limited now. If we don't raise chickens, one day we'll run out of eggs in the storage ring."
Chen Xinyu said cheerfully, "Sister Yun's stir-fried beef with green peppers is so delicious! Let's raise a few more cows."
Hearing the compliment, Yun Yun smiled beautifully. "Don't worry, everyone will take care of these things in the future."
Yuto Saito then instructed everyone, "Everyone, please email me the spar you just collected."
"Okay," the women responded, emailing their spar to Yuto Saito. This time, after eliminating 100,000 zombies, they harvested a total of 3 green spar, 50 red spar, and 28,716 white spar.
Yuto Saito also emailed the obtained sixth-order mutant catfish to Mifen.
Meanwhile, in the alchemy room, Mifen was refining the strengthening potion. When refining pills and potions, she paid great attention to the dosage, carefully controlling the amounts. Mifen was overjoyed and murmured to herself, "In half an hour, the strengthening potion will be refined."
[You have new news: Captain Yuto Saito sent an email.]
Mifen opened the mail; it contained a sixth-order mutant catfish and a third-grade ring. Mifen happily exclaimed, "That's great! Only one more thing left to refine the Awakening Pill! I have to hurry up and refine the strengthening potion and King Kong Pills first." As materials became more and more abundant, Mifen's identity as an alchemist became increasingly important.
Team Upgrades and a New Recruit
In the villa's living room, Yuto Saito gave a fifth-grade ring to Juzi and third-grade rings to the others. Since then, all team members had storage rings of rank three or above. Yuto Saito possessed a sixth-grade ring. Yun Yun, Ni Shuang, Natto, Mina, and Juzi all had fifth-grade rings. The others all had third-grade rings.
Natto looked at a private message from the God of War account, and a bright smile appeared on her face. "Great, that alchemist named Ye Chuchu has sent a message!"
Ni Shuang asked, "What did the other party say?"
Natto replied, "Ye Chuchu said that she can come, but she has one request: she wants to bring people over. She said that if the God of War team promised to bring her parents to the island, she would agree to come."
