Chapter 281 Live Broadcast of National Fortune: The Male Lead's Fiancée Who Was Rejected VS. Hu
After reviewing the upcoming tasks, Chen Zhengyuan didn't rest. He and Su Jinyue discussed it briefly and then called everyone over for a meeting.
"The third phase of the mission has been released. Over the next three weeks, 21 days, we will have to resist three waves of beast hordes."
The first five days are for teammates from different countries to meet up and form teams. This stage is advantageous for us, since we had already met up and formed teams before the mission was announced.
The live broadcast system interface now includes a map function, allowing all five participants from each country to see their respective locations. This feature is likely a new addition for team formation.
Whether this map has any other functions is up to everyone to explore. If you discover anything, please share it in time.
The next challenge is how to deal with the beast horde. The cave's location is quite good, with its back against a stone wall, reducing the risk of attacks from one side.
However, some preparations still need to be made in front of the cave. To defend against the beast tide, defensive works such as trenches, city walls, and watchtowers also need to be built..."
Chen Zhengyuan said a lot. The beast tide is a war, and no one here knows better than him how to fight it.
According to Chen Zhengyuan's plan, if their base could be built, it would be a small bunker, and the five of them would be able to fight off even the largest beast tide.
"...That's all I can think of for now. Do you have anything to add?"
After Chen Zhengyuan finished speaking, everyone was digesting his various plans, and no one spoke for a moment.
Pei Chuyuan looked at Chen Zhengyuan with bright eyes. Pei Chuyuan admired Su Jinyue the most, but seeing Chen Zhengyuan's strategic planning and confidence, who explained the solution clearly in one go, they no longer felt the previous hesitation and fear.
Pei Chuyuan has made up his mind: from now on, Chen Zhengyuan will be his second most admired person!
Qi Yaoting, after all, was a former CEO in City A of China, and even when faced with a life-or-death crisis, his intelligence was still sharp.
"Captain Chen, I have no objection to your layout around the cave. However, it would be best to combine it with ranged attack weapons, as we currently lack suitable ones. There are some in the system shop, but they cost too many points..."
Qi Yaoting also raised a problem: they didn't have many weapons. Chen Zhengyuan and Su Jinyue's magical weapons were both provided by Su Jinyue, but magical weapons are not something ordinary people can control. Even Pei Chuyuan didn't receive any from Su Jinyue.
When Chen Zhengyuan first came in, he brought a pistol and a rifle, but he didn't have many bullets, and he had already used them all during the first phase, so the pistol and rifle were now just for show.
So they're making weapons by hand now? I wonder if there's any iron ore in the mountains...
When it comes to weapon manufacturing, Su Jinyue has a lot to say. Back in the interstellar world, she was a mecha engineer and was also very skilled at designing and manufacturing weapons.
Although Su Jinyue only has a wood spirit root in this world, which makes it less convenient to make weapons than a metal or fire spirit root, she doesn't need to make high-level spiritual weapons now. Her wood spirit root is enough, especially since she also has a contracted spiritual fire in her soul.
"You can leave the weapon making to me. I found an iron mine on the way here, not too far from the cave. I can make bows and arrows, crossbows, swords, spears, and halberds."
Also, I found a plant in the mountains before, there were a lot of them, and its sap can be used as an adhesive, it is very strong after it dries.
Outside the cave, there were stones that had been dug out earlier when the stone house was built. These stones were glued together with adhesive to make a very sturdy city wall.
In addition, I have some knowledge of medicinal herbs. There are many Chinese herbal medicines in the mountains and forests. I can make some hemostatic drugs and wound medicines. As for poisonous herbs or snake venom, it's not impossible to make poisons to deal with beast tides.
Chen Zhengyuan nodded. What Su Jinyue said was all necessary, and he was very reassured by Su Jinyue's abilities.
"After the meeting, can you show me the plant that can be used as an adhesive? Then you can go about your business. If you need anything, just let me know."
Su Jinyue nodded. In fact, she wanted to do more than what she had said. She had just received Qing Daozi's array inheritance. Although she couldn't fully master the more advanced ones, she could easily set up defensive arrays, attack arrays, or illusion arrays to deal with the beast tide.
However, Su Jinyue did not plan to tell anyone about this; she would just discuss it privately with Chen Zhengyuan later.
The preparations around the cave are not yet complete, so there's no rush to set up the formation.
Seeing that Su Jinyue's job was settled, Pei Chuyuan also eagerly raised his hand.
Chen Zhengyuan nodded, indicating that he should speak if he had something to say.
Pei Chuyuan lowered his raised hand and said, "Captain Chen, Boss Su will also be in charge of the cave's layout, weapons, and medicines."
But I haven't fought many wild animals, and my skills aren't great. How can I improve them in a short time?
From the time Pei Chuyuan obtained the cultivation technique and began to cultivate, to now, the total cultivation time has been less than 20 days.
After Pei Chuyuan began to draw qi into his body and his cultivation proved effective, he became very engrossed in cultivation and became very proactive in it.
Su Jinyue used her divine sense to check and found that Pei Chuyuan had already reached the peak of the first level of Qi Refining and would soon break through to the second level of Qi Refining.
However, Pei Chuyuan's cultivation level is too low, and he has too little spiritual energy in his dantian. Su Jinyue can teach him some simple spells, but when it comes to fighting, he will probably run out of spiritual energy in no time.
Pei Chuyuan was well aware of his own situation. In the early stages of cultivation, the grappling techniques and combat methods that Chen Zhengyuan learned in the army were far more effective than magic.
Chen Zhengyuan thought for a moment, and finally said to Pei Chuyuan, Qi Yaoting and Sun Siqi: "Since that's the case, take advantage of the time you have in the next few days, the three of you can learn some simple martial arts from me. I don't expect you to be able to kill a lot of wild animals, just enough to protect yourselves."
In fact, Chen Zhengyuan had a plan in mind. The main reason he chose to set up the bunker was to protect Pei Chuyuan and the other two.
He and Su Jinyue could handle the beast tide, and with his Golden Core cultivation, he could even fight his way in and out of it on his own.
After all, the mission takers from Blue Star are all ordinary people, and their highest abilities are about the same as when Chen Zhengyuan first entered the Trial Grounds.
Based on the three waves of beast tides, Chen Zhengyuan guessed that the range of the beast tides shouldn't be too large, otherwise all the mission takers who came in would die immediately, and the national fortune live broadcast would be pointless.
Chen Zhengyuan already knew from Su Jinyue that the person behind the National Fortune Live Broadcast was not a good person, but since the other party did not directly invade Blue Star, but instead set up this National Fortune Live Broadcast, it meant that they were wary of Blue Star.
