Lin Bei did not immediately open his temporary storage space to check the inheritance, but instead opened the public chat channel.
He pondered for a moment, then started typing and sending messages.
"Now, I solemnly inform all other survivors residing within one hundred li of my island: you have one last half-day to leave this sea area."
"Tonight at 0 o'clock, I will conduct a massive purge of the entire sea area within one hundred li. Anyone who fails to evacuate in time, regardless of the reason, will be treated as an invader and killed!"
"That's right, I've come clean. I'm not pretending anymore."
"Since some people dare to scheme against me, I don't mind giving these scumbags a bloody lesson!"
"I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone upon the ditch."
"Ask yourselves honestly, over the past few days, without my help, how many of you would still be alive today?"
"Therefore, suppress any dissatisfaction you have. If you're unconvinced, feel free to join the so-called 'Bei Ming Hunting Group.' I'd like to see what kind of trouble you can stir up."
"I have said all I need to say. Everyone, look out for yourselves."
"Tonight, I will personally end this boring farce. Everyone, wait and see!"
After sending the message, Lin Bei let out a long breath, and his mood became much lighter.
Originally, he thought that since everyone came from Blue Star, there would be some camaraderie, but the reality... was quite different.
He was merely wishful thinking.
Sure enough, as soon as his string of messages was sent, people in the public chat channel immediately started firing back at him.
"You're ordering others to leave the sea area within one hundred li of your island? Who the hell do you think you are? Don't tell me you actually think you're someone important just because you traded some supplies a couple of days ago? Bah!"
"Exactly! What are you? I despise arrogant trash like you the most! Expeditionary Force, huh? Count me in!"
"Haha, is this kid delusional? Who do you think you are? This is the Survival World, why are you pretending to be so great? I'm joining the Expeditionary Force right now. Bei Ming, right? Wait for me to make you drop gold!"
"Actually, I've disliked this Bei Ming kid for a long time. He was pretending to trade all sorts of resources to others before. Bah, why act like a Mother Teresa? Do you think you're a god descending to save all beings?"
"Do you really think you're superior just because you have some resources? I hate people like you the most! Back on Blue Star, the laws restrained us, but now you're dead meat!"
"Oh, you're quite something, kid, aren't you? You've come clean and stopped pretending? You just wait! I'm definitely going to burst your chrysanthemum, leaving your chrysanthemum withered and wounded all over the ground! Hahahaha—"
Inside the public chat channel, many people were enraged by Lin Bei's arrogant words, cursing him out and choosing to join the "Bei Ming Expeditionary Force."
As for whether the real reason for joining the Expeditionary Force was Lin Bei's words or some other motive... that remained unknown.
At least in Lin Bei's view, these people were merely seeing an opportunity for profit, wanting to loot while the fire burned and grab a share of the spoils.
Soon, Bei Bei Nan Gua sent a private message, expressing great concern for Lin Bei's situation.
"Big Brother Bei Ming! How about... how about you run away quickly! Don't worry, I'll rush over to protect you as soon as possible!"
"This is my coordinate location. You must not give up, you must wait for me!"
Lin Bei glanced at the coordinates sent by Bei Bei Nan Gua, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Good heavens, this distance... seems a bit far."
Lin Bei calculated using the scale on the map. One of them was on the far east and the other on the far west; the distance between them now exceeded five thousand kilometers!
If Bei Bei Nan Gua really tried to rush over... the first Calamity Season would probably be over by then, right?
"The distance is too great. You should focus on developing safely and improving your strength. I'll be Fine here."
"But those people have already started gathering teams and preparing a joint attack!"
"Don't worry, I have ways to deal with them! Besides, you're so far away, you wouldn't get here until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse!"
Lin Bei comforted the other party, thought for a moment, and sent a photo of the Automatic Cannon and the shadow tank, adding the caption: "Look, I have advanced weapons and equipment. They'll die no matter how many come. Just focus on your own development; I can handle this myself."
"Then... alright, but I'm still worried. How about this... I'll search for more treasure chests in the sea these next few days and give them all to you. I hope they can help you!"
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Bei to refuse, she immediately sent seven or eight Fine quality treasure chests.
"Um... this is all I have, but don't worry, I will work hard to find more high-quality treasure chests!"
Bei Bei Nan Gua left that last message and then fell completely silent. No matter what Lin Bei said to the other party, there was no response.
"Sigh, what a mess..."
Lin Bei shook his head helplessly, looking at the dozen Fine quality treasure chests the other party had traded, then glanced back at the large pile of treasure chests stacked like a small mountain not far behind him, and sighed.
His own treasure chests, accumulated from yesterday until now, numbered over a hundred, with more than fifty of them being Fine quality or above, including quite a few excellent quality and even Perfect quality treasure chests.
In comparison, Bei Bei Nan Gua's seven or eight Fine quality treasure chests really didn't amount to much.
But this was everything the other party had.
Therefore, Lin Bei was quite touched.
Now that he was virtually a public enemy of the entire region, the other party chose this moment to step forward and help him without reservation. This kind of unwavering friendship wasn't faked.
As the saying goes, true friendship is revealed in times of crisis. Therefore, Lin Bei sincerely recognized Bei Bei Nan Gua as a friend.
Suddenly, Oil King also sent a private message, asking Lin Bei if he wanted to run away.
He even suggested that if Lin Bei was desperate, he could reluctantly lend Lin Bei all the dolls and divine oil he had, allowing him to live a carefree life before dying.
Seeing this, Lin Bei simply sent the word "Scram" and closed the private message interface.
"Damn it, this kid is something else. What time is it now, and his brain is still filled with this nonsense?"
Lin Bei complained, then immediately lay down inside the Healing Pod, preparing to level up and increase his Combat Power.
According to Qing Qing, the Healing Pod could effectively prevent physical damage caused by a significant increase in Combat Power.
This way, Lin Bei didn't have to worry about passing out after the Combat Power increase placed a huge burden on his body.
"Level up!"
"Level up!"
"Level up!"
Lin Bei leveled up wildly. He had accumulated several million experience, enough to raise his level directly to the current level cap.
"Expeditionary Force, huh?"
"Have you decided how you want to die?"
Lin Bei's gaze was icy, and the aura emanating from him began to climb steadily at this moment!
[Prompt: Your level has increased to Level 31!]
[Prompt: You triggered the 100x Critical Hit effect!]
[Prompt: Your Combat Power has increased by 2,000 points!]
Boom—!!!
Inside Lin Bei's body, vital energy surged like a rainbow, sweeping through his entire being.
After Level 30, the base Combat Power he gained per level actually doubled, increasing to twenty points per level!
A 100x Critical Hit meant a 2,000 point increase in Combat Power!
In just the span of a breath, Lin Bei's Combat Power nearly doubled, rapidly approaching five thousand points!
Inside the Healing Pod, various energies continuously injected into Lin Bei's body, instantly sweeping away the immense burden his body had suffered.
Replacing it was an unprecedented feeling of exhilarating satisfaction!
At this moment, he felt refreshed and invigorated, his entire aura surging to its peak!
"Awesome! This is too awesome!"
Inside the Healing Pod, Lin Bei felt the surging power within his body and couldn't help but laugh uproariously.
Now, he had no trivial distractions or worries left in his heart; he only felt light and ethereal, his thoughts perfectly clear!
