"However, this can only make a quick buck." David looked slightly disheartened, "The World Chat channel will discuss the well city, and eventually, the overall structure will be known."
"Moreover, some people have already started selling pirated versions." Hawkins laughed lightly, "No matter, as long as we can survive to the end, it's better than anything else."
"What if a wave of zombies that can truly fly comes?" Ming raised his concern.
"That's what I'm worried about." Hawkins frowned, "At present, the accuracy of the arrow towers is not enough to deal with airborne mutated creatures. We can only rely on manpower to kill them. We have specialized personnel working on developing giant crossbows, but unfortunately, progress is slow."
"Yeah, as time goes by, the monsters are also evolving and will become more and more powerful. What we really lack now is not money, but people." David frowned as well.
"I do have a business idea that can both make money and attract people," Ming said, touching the tip of his nose.
"I knew you'd have a good idea! Tell me, and I'll do it!" Both David and Hawkins turned their heads at the same time, looking at the person before them.
"It's not really a great idea, but it requires people's courage, luck, and a talent for exploiting loopholes in the rules." Ming continued, "Under your promotion, District 109 should be considered a very strong and safe district in the eyes of people from other districts, right?"
"Yes! Otherwise, how could they feel safe enough to buy the blueprints?" David nodded.
Hawkins also nodded, his eyes flashing with excitement, as he seemed to begin to understand Gutmann's idea.
"My preliminary idea is to release information saying that our District 109 aims to create the safest district in the world, and have everyone who wants to come to our district form teams and teleport to the regional map."
Ming looked at the people in front of him and continued, "Our district's puppet masters will go there and temporarily bridge them as puppets to bring them back to our district. After that, we'll remove the bridge connection, and after this process, those people will become members of our district, exploiting the loopholes in the rules~"
"Great idea! You really are a genius." David clapped and praised, "Before we start this, we need to promote our district well, so that everyone recognizes our strength and leadership. After that, I'll take care of the rest. As long as we're lucky, it'll be very simple to implement."
"Brilliant!" Hawkins slapped the city wall, excitedly exclaiming, "As long as people come, our strength will definitely increase greatly, and our chances of survival will become higher and higher! In the apocalypse, who doesn't want to survive? It's like mutual borrowing, fulfilling others as well as ourselves! Brilliant!"
"But, this will require a lot of teleportation scrolls." Ming didn't know why, but he always thought of money first.
Frustrating.
David said, "No problem, everyone knows that compared to money, life is more important."
Ming added, "We just can't take in everyone from all districts, as our district can only accommodate so many people. Too many people will lead to chaos. We need to find a suitable district to cooperate with, and most importantly, test the feasibility first."
"Right, right, right!" David nodded and suddenly looked up, "I've been working closely with people from District 31, and their entire district is, like ours, a relatively united one."
"One more thing!" Hawkins turned his head and said, "Today, we must complete the first kill of the shared boss in the shortest possible time! That will make the people of District 31 even more confident in their faith to cooperate with our District 109!"
At 8:00, the well city wall was already filled with people, everyone discussing today's shared monster and making bold guesses.
"The day before yesterday, there should have been an update to the game rules, so the monsters should also be upgraded, right?"
"Remove the 'should,' they'll definitely be upgraded."
"What's there to be afraid of? We have the deluxe version of the well city."
"And we have Gutmann!"
"..."
Roused from slumber, your frogs observed the bear atop the roof, lost in reverie. Through communication, they discerned the bear's clinginess intentions. Da Vinci reassured it, "You are a colossal bear, not a fragile maiden." Da Vinci soon realized the bear was but a year old, still a child.
Foodie gazed at the bear, inviting it to taste honey, assuring that today the treat was on them. Foodie gestured toward a distant beehive, "Go ahead, but remember to bring some back for Da Vinci and me."
Da Vinci playfully chided Foodie, "Don't lead the child astray." Da Vinci told the bear to only take from the innermost part, leaving the outer untouched to avoid detection by Ming.
Da Vinci noticed the bear's hesitation, turning to a squirrel, "You go, demonstrate for the bear." The squirrel shook its head atop a palm tree, "You used me as an example last time, do you think I'm foolish?"
"Those little rascals!" Ming shook his head, knowing that the bees were always in trouble, and hoped that there would be some honey left when he got home today.
"Brother." At this moment, two voices came from the sky.
Ming looked up and saw Mike and Alan, who were once again brought by the giant eagle. Seriously, did they have to make such a cool entrance every time?
Alan and Mike caused quite a stir, after all, one was the top puppet master of District 109, and the other was the top defender of District 109.
Ming noticed that ever since he brought Mike out of the instance last time, this guy quickly rose to fame with his pills. However, that BUG-like psychic skill would make anyone rise to prominence; in a one-on-one fight, it was simply an invincible existence.
[Your Da Vinci crouched beside the beehive and told the squirrel, "You just go, I'll be your lookout." Foodie bumped into the squirrel, "Don't be scared, look at the little spider, one against fifty..." The squirrel looked back at the giant bear... the bear licked its lips...]
[Your Da Vinci patted the squirrel, "She's a girl, she definitely can't do such a crude thing... and she's still young..." The squirrel looked at the giant bear again... "Are you really only 1 year old?"]
"..."
Ming shook his head, these little guys... never mind, just play as you wish.
ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm "Buddy, I brought back something good today, check it out~" Alan walked up and handed over a box of plump, shiny grapes.
Ming put the grapes into his inventory and handed a box of fruits back in return. Even though they were brothers, it was still important to reciprocate; he couldn't always take advantage of others. Ming reminded Alan, "These sour pear seeds can also grow trees, so cherish them. By the way, did you bring back any grapevines?"
"Bro, there are seeds in the grapes too. Just be careful not to crush them when you eat them, and then try planting them. Maybe they'll grow into grapevines~" Alan put the box of sour pears into his inventory.
Ming showed a friendly smile, patted Alan on the shoulder, and said, "Good brother~ You know quite a lot, huh~"
Alan pulled out several grapevines with a grin, "I brought them back for you."
David and Hawkins, standing nearby, showed envious looks. They also longed for such a simple brotherly bond.
Mike took out a cantaloupe and handed it to Ming, "this one really has seeds inside."
