Chapter 257: Plans for the Future

After returning to the Alliance, Mcgee immediately asked Kidd to arrange for a medical familiar to treat Qi Wei.

He also discussed everything that had happened in the Smoker Forest’s illusion with him.

“There’s such a magical place.” Kidd lamented that Mcgee was always able to have fortuitous encounters. No wonder he was always on a level higher than the other members of the Alliance.

“I’ve figured something out,” Mcgee said, “you need to improve your strength and increase your experience outside. You can’t always wait for tavern missions in the Alliance. It’s far from enough.”

On the one hand, Mcgee hoped that the combat ability of the Alliance members could be improved. On the other hand, he also hoped that the Alliance members could help to obtain precious materials from various secret realms.

“What do you mean?”

“Form a team to explore,” said Mcgee, “according to the allocation of three types of talents: combat, support, and exploration. They are the requirements to form a team for the Alliance members.

“Then, send them to the Mystic Realms that I’ve explored before. Because I’ve explored them before, I’ve gotten rid of the most dangerous subdued beasts inside.

“If you go on an expedition, the probability of encountering danger is not high. Moreover, you can increase your strength and obtain rare resources.”

This method was much more profitable than waiting for the Blood Moon attacks in the Alliance, or fighting subdued beasts in the wild.

Kidd thought of the game.

It was indeed a way to let ordinary members closely follow the level and strength of the team members.

“Arrangements can be made, but…”

“It doesn’t matter if you can’t keep up with the strength. You can let the combat team lead the team.” Mcgee gave them a breakdown of their strength.

For example, the ice cave needed a water-type familiar, as well as a member with the ability to scout. It would be best if they had a diving subdued beast with them.

As for the volcano illusion, they needed a fire-type familiar and a flying familiar.

In the morning, the two of them divided the members into groups in the castle’s meeting hall.

There were only ten combat members and as many as eighty logistical personnel. This kind of Alliance configuration was obviously not suitable for long-term development.

They were divided into eight exploration teams and headed to different areas to explore resources. The remaining combat members were responsible for the implementation of the tavern mission, while the rest of the members built their homes.

Only then did Mcgee feel at ease. He would not have to explore the Mystic Realms alone all the time.

One had to know that the Mystic Realms usually had a large number of resources and rare materials. It was an important key to improving combat strength.

Next, it was time to deal with the issue of survival in season four.

Through communicating with the others, Kidd learned that the remaining survivors had formed their own alliance, although they also had to face stronger and stronger attacks from the Blood Moon attacks.

However, it was far better than facing attacks from familiars alone. The biggest change in season four was that the strength of the familiars had become very strong, and the risk of fighting alone was higher.

“During the three days you were away, we collected a portion of the portal fragments.” Kidd took out the portal fragments from his space bag and handed them to Mcgee.

“There are now eight fragments.”

[Unknown portal fragment 8/50]

“Okay, let’s proceed according to the plan. If the portal is a blueprint, it might require a lot of rare materials. This is also why I plan to let everyone go out and explore.”

“Understood.”

After some mobilization, the members of the Alliance accepted the arrangement. They also had the desire to become stronger.

Other than the familiars that stayed behind in the Alliance, Mcgee also had to prepare to explore the fourth season map.

The problem of survival had been solved by forming an Alliance, but there was still a large amount of treasure waiting for Mcgee to explore the fourth season map.

The system issued a new order at the start of the fourth season.

[200 random treasure chests have been prepared for the survivors in the fourth season. The highest quality of the treasure chests is platinum.]

Unfortunately, unlike the last time when the location of the treasure chests was marked out for the players, in order to obtain the treasure chests, the players had to personally explore.

After a long time in the Alliance, Mcgee had a good night’s sleep.

Early the next morning, Mcgee packed up his equipment and prepared to look for treasure chests with the Little Spirit Fox, and the Gold-devouring Beast.

The Gold-devouring Beast was not very strong, but it was one of the most sensitive to treasure chests.

However, before he left, he met an uninvited guest.

“Have you recovered?”

Qi Wei had a ponytail, and her smile was refreshing.

“Thank you for saving me.” Qi Wei did not answer Mcgee’s question. Instead, she reached out her hand.

When she was in danger, Qi Wei had been desperate to ask Mcgee for help. She had not expected him to really help her.

“It’s okay. But in the future, when you go out to explore, you’ll pay more attention to your safety.”

“If there’s nothing else, I’m going out to explore. There are a lot of treasure chests scattered around the world in season four. With your strength, you should be able to get a lot of useful treasure chests.”

Qi Wei nodded. That was exactly her plan.

However, she had another thing to tell Mcgee.

“Do you know about the Special System?”

Mcgee stopped in his tracks.

“Do you know why I want to collect minerals from all over the world?”

“I thought you were a resource exploration enthusiast in your original world.” Mcgee smiled. He was quite curious about this matter, but Qi Wei actually brought it up without asking.

“In addition to the survival system, I was given another side mission at the beginning of the third season.”

Qi Wei said, “I have a system that can determine the quality and function of ores with just a glance. At the same time, I also activated a side mission.”

“If you collect all the ores in the world, you will receive a special reward.”

Qi Wei had originally planned to keep this secret in her heart. In the world of familiars, everyone was a competitor. The more secrets one kept, the more chances one had to survive.

However, Mcgee had saved her twice. She decided to trust Mcgee, so she took the initiative to bring it up.

Mcgee had actually heard Zhao Ling Er mention the ‘Craftsman System’ before. Her goal was to create the best weapons and defensive equipment in the world.

It seemed to have a corresponding reward.

“I don’t have a special system,” Mcgee said with a smile, “but I’m still grateful that you told me about it.”

Being able to talk openly was the foundation of building trust between people.

At least now Qi Wei regarded him as her companion.

“So, have you collected all the ores?” Qi Wei had been in a coma during the trip to the Smoker Forest, so she had not had the time to ask.

“I’ve collected all the ordinary ores. Now I’m still missing an ore called ‘dark matter’.”

Qi Wei frowned. There were 200 ores in her illustrated book, and they had all been collected.

But suddenly, there was another option called ‘Dark Matter’.

“Dark matter?” Mcgee smiled bitterly. “Does it really exist?”

“Isn’t it similar to physics in our era?” Qi Wei said helplessly. “It seems that we have to fly to space to get it.”

“Don’t worry.”

Mcgee stroked Qi Wei’s head with one hand.

“There must be a way to find it.”
