Most of the people in this section are veterans from District 666. They've been around since the days when Qi Xu frequently handed out red packets in the main hall, making them old players who have grown alongside each other until now.
Qi Xu sent a message in the group chat, clearly explaining all the details of the "Timeless Peril" catastrophe to everyone.
Now, the phase of large-scale screening is mostly over. The next step is to support as many "allies" as possible, build a mass foundation, and prepare for the arrival of the faction gameplay.
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "I suggest everyone try to stick together as much as possible during this catastrophe, taking turns to rest and cooperating to resist the monsters. Otherwise, it'll be hard to last a full month.
However, if too many players gather, the number of monsters encountered will also increase. Another point: if the skill levels of players in a team differ too greatly, it's not suitable for them to party up.
The monster difficulty is matched based on the highest strength level in the player party. Players with similar strength levels are most suitable for teaming up."
Fluffy Ball: "Thanks, boss, for telling us this. Otherwise, if we slept peacefully and took down our protective shields, we'd be in for a nasty shock."
Heartbroken Kitten: "Boss, how many people do you suggest is appropriate for one group?"
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "Minimum five, maximum no more than ten. Any more and the commotion would be too great. The monsters would become endless, so larger groups must finish battles quickly and then separate. Otherwise, it could very likely affect today's mileage."
Ruan Shizi: "Understood! Thanks, boss, hehe."
Qi Xu hissed inwardly. What's up with Ruan Shizi? It's like he's been possessed. 'Hehe'?
This was an idea given to him by Zhou Dami444: in public, no matter what he says, always add "hehe" at the end. It makes him seem less sharp and difficult to approach.
Ruan Shizi genuinely wanted to change. If he didn't manage to board Boss Whirlwind's train now, it would be difficult later. Coincidentally, he had also cleared up all misunderstandings with the sole daughter of the God of Wealth.
It had been a long time since he'd gotten into a shouting match... This was a good opportunity.
Qi Xu purchased 5000 temporary team-up cards from Taotao in advance. Using them allows five players to party up for five days, making them perfect for this catastrophe. They could let everyone practice team combat and coordination while maximizing safety.
However, the selling work was handed over to Wealth From All Directions. Qi Xu didn't need to worry about it.
Wealth From All Directions vaguely sensed some of Qi Xu's intentions and specifically asked: "Boss, you specifically reminded everyone in the group. Is it to build a mass foundation?"
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "Yes!"
Wealth From All Directions: "I have a rather immature money-making idea. If anything I say is inappropriate, just pretend I never mentioned it, okay?"
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "Nothing's inappropriate. Speak boldly."
Wealth From All Directions: "Actually, most players in our group chat are quite strong now. I've looked into it a bit—players like Muzi Li, Ballpoint Pen, Lala, Crushed Ice Lamb, Happy Big Sis, Panda Panda, Domestic Specialty 196, Sip Under Moonlight, and Blessed by Luck.
This group might be a bit weaker compared to you, the War Wolves, Slice-Your-Sis, and Song Peifeng, but they're far stronger than ordinary players. We could totally organize them to take on jobs from ordinary players together.
The game 'Survival Highway' has been running for half a year now. Everyone has moments of incredible luck. Ordinary players might have good items too. When they encounter danger, they pay a fee, we take the job, help them solve the danger, and we get to practice our own team coordination. It's a complete win-win!
Right now, these players all support you. This also gives them an option to survive when they're in danger. Isn't that good?"
Wealth From All Directions didn't know if Whirlwind Boss would agree with this. From his time in the golden group chat card, he had noticed a clear flaw in how the Whirlwind Boss led.
That is, she doesn't give orders or assign tasks. She is sincere and kind to her own people to a fault, lacking sufficient authority.
Not everyone is suited to exchanging sincerity for sincerity. Some people don't have that many ideas or initiative. Because of the Parallel Highway's mechanics, you can't be together every day either. Giving direct orders is often best.
Moreover, even though the players in the golden group chat card are so strong, Whirlwind Boss rarely organizes everyone to accomplish something together or tells them to do specific tasks.
Yet, she provides a lot of convenience in terms of resources and connections. Over time, this isn't necessarily a good thing. Sometimes, going through some hardships together can make a group tighter.
While the group is still small, it's very necessary for Whirlwind Boss to further establish her leader status within the team.
But... you can't just casually guess the boss's thoughts, so Wealth From All Directions had never brought this up, especially since he hadn't yet entered the inner circle.
Now, with a suitable opportunity, he used making money as a pretext to appropriately bring it up, hoping to test Whirlwind Boss's attitude.
If she was resistant and unwilling to use teammates as subordinates, Wealth From All Directions wouldn't mention it again, focusing on making money and getting by. But he would indeed feel some regret inside.
Everyone has ambition. Ambition isn't a negative word... I just want the team I'm in to be the strongest.
After listening, Qi Xu's eyes lit up. Laicai's idea was really good, very much in line with Bian's way of thinking. He was smart, and not just about making money.
Qi Xu understood her own weaknesses, so she was especially open to others' suggestions.
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "Ok, I'll announce this in the group later."
Wealth From All Directions: "Boss is mighty."
Qi Xu suddenly thought of Xie Shaoning. Sister Cai mentioned that Laicai used to hang with him.
Could it be that Laicai was the brains behind Xie Shaoning? No wonder that kid is still so foolish—his right-hand man got poached by me.
Hiss, that's actually pretty great.
Qi Xu thought for a moment, took out paper and pen, and wrote and sketched for a long time. She divided everyone into five groups based on their combat styles and pet attributes, then pondered the specific method for taking jobs.
Once decided, she directly announced it in the golden group chat card.
Invincible Black Whirlwind: "This catastrophe is a good chance to practice team battles. Since we have to fight anyway, we might as well form a few paid rescue teams. Everyone can take this opportunity to get familiar with combat coordination and prepare for team battles.
I'll be responsible for the specific groupings. Laicai will handle job intake and assignment. Blessed by Luck will be in charge of income records and expenses. Each team leader will be responsible for combat matters within their group. I'll post the specific team member list in the group shortly."
