Mingmei and her team were on their way to find teammates, eliminating a small number of enemies while uniting more forces.

Players playing as the Zerg also aim to eliminate lone human players while simultaneously finding all their teammates to strengthen their forces.

However, the progress of the two sides is vastly different.

The other players, playing as the Zerg, were "going in both directions," while the students, playing as soldiers, when they met and talked about obeying orders, responded with a "Get lost, I'm born unruly and love freedom!"

Mingmei and her team, who had recently parted ways with a starship crew of about fifty people, were now reviewing what they had just done on the starship.

"What the heck did they mean just now? Are they accusing us of bullying others?"

At this moment, Lu Xiaoyao, who had just failed to merge with a team of fifty players, was venting her frustration in the starship, and the others also looked unhappy.

It wasn't because of Lu Xiaoyao's reaction, but because they were just as angry as Lu Xiaoyao.

They had just rescued a starship that was being attacked by about twenty Zerg, and unexpectedly learned that there were actually more than fifty players inside.

They didn't say anything about how embarrassing it was that over fifty of you were stuck in the starship and not a single one could get out, but instead they think they have ulterior motives.

"I didn't even complain about how bad they were!" In the public chat, Madison and the others from the next starship couldn't help but talk about the group from earlier.

"They're so bad, what's wrong with making them follow orders?"

"Yeah~ and they won't even tell us what the food is like!" Dong Lei chimed in, joining their complaints about the group of people from earlier. "You never know what kind of birds you'll find in a big forest!"

"The key is that we can't just watch them die."

Some players still felt frustrated by their actions. They had done a good deed, but... they weren't even thanked, and then the hostile people questioned their reasons for uniting.

That's infuriating!

"If they don't want to, then forget it. Forcing these kinds of people together, I'm afraid they'll stab me in the back at a crucial moment."

Li Yuan found the attitude of the people they had just rescued unacceptable.

Mingmei and Muchen also listened and said it was good that those people left.

"We unite forces that can be united, not everything."

Mu Chen felt that Li Yuan was right. Those people wanted protection on the one hand, but were unwilling to follow orders and suspected that everyone had ulterior motives. It was best to avoid dealing with such people.

"Yeah, ignore them. Let's just do our own thing and not give up on the teammates we can unite and recruit for the sake of a few weirdos."

Sun Yunzhong cheered everyone up, calming their bad mood from the fact that they had just saved a group of oddballs.

"We still have many more points to score!"

Seeing that everyone was no longer troubled by the previous incident of rescuing people, but their expressions weren't particularly good, Sun Yunzhong continued with his scoring routine.

"That last wave must have scored over 140 points, right? Even though we outnumbered each other, our teamwork definitely helped everyone gain some points, right?"

The moment the score was mentioned, the expressions on everyone's faces came alive.

"Haha, I just earned 5 points!"

"Wow~ I'm so envious! I only have that much attack power, but I still have 0.8 points!"

Some players communicate through the public chat; it's rare to find someone with such a mindset who can earn only a fraction of a point.

"Oh, 0.8 is still a point, as long as it's not zero."

"Yes, as for points, we can just accumulate them slowly!"

Mingmei, standing to the side, remarked that the team members had a really good mentality; they were happy even with scores of a few points or fractions.

"After all, I always get zero points when I'm alone."

Perhaps it was because her bright expression made it easy to guess what she was thinking; when Mu Chen saw her expression, he immediately told her what everyone was thinking.

"Hmm." Mingmei nodded, remembering Lu Xiaoyao's earlier question about her score, but she didn't answer. She could imagine how frightening it would be if her score of nearly 300 were released.

In this round, ever since Mingmei revealed her Jinyi outfit, she has been frequently ordered out to fight by Sun Yunzhong. However, he probably realized that Jinyi's nature is such that no one survives once they touch an insect, so he has become much more restrained when ordering Mingmei around.

We agreed to earn points together. Even if Mingmei didn't do it on purpose, considering the increasingly large team, he really needs to think carefully about when to unleash Jin Yi and Su Bo, these two powerful weapons.

Seeing teammates instantly kill Zerg is certainly morale-boosting, but if all you see is teammates killing Zerg throughout the entire game, it might feel like the experience is just too uninspiring.

"I roughly estimated that the number of Zerg we've encountered since we entered the game is less than two hundred."

When Sun Yunzhong was doing the calculations, he even asked Mingmei and the others if they had encountered any Zerg when they left the group. Only after adding them in did he realize that there were still many Zerg that had not yet shown up.

"However, as far as we know now, at least 200 students have already been eliminated."

Sun Yunzhong changed the subject and everyone fell silent instantly.

They encountered 200 Zerg, and of those, probably less than a hundred died.

But those 200 students are truly gone.

"In terms of current combat strength, we are indeed at a disadvantage," Sun Yunzhong said, pointing to the coordinates on the star map from the command platform. "Next, we really need to go deeper into the map. With more teammates, there are also more Zerg hiding there, giving us more possibilities. We are about to face one, no, countless tough battles!"

Sun Yunzhong's voice was heard by everyone on the other starships via the public channel.

"But the rewards are substantial; over five thousand points are waiting for us. Have you decided how much you want to earn?"

Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard Sun Yunzhong's words, and even Mingmei knew that Sun Yunzhong's words were exaggerated.

A score of over 5,000 is only possible if the other players didn't kill many Zerg players, and they encountered all of these Recombinations and managed to defeat them all.

Although Mingmei didn't want to admit it, there might be a second or third team like theirs, uniting about a hundred players.

If all else fails, there's always the kind we just talked about. It might not be very effective, but it should still be able to kill a few, right?

As Mingmei thought about it, her gaze fell on Lu Xiaoyao, who was an expert at creating a lively atmosphere. Seeing that Lu Xiaoyao was so excited that she seemed to have been paid to be a shill, and was frantically saying that she wanted to earn 100 points, Mingmei really wanted to tell Lu Xiaoyao to tone it down and go too far!

As a result, whether it was Lu Xiaoyao's words or not, some people in the public channel actually followed Lu Xiaoyao's example and shouted that they wanted to earn a certain number of points, and some even clearly divided the more than 5,000 points.

Let's each earn a small profit of 50 points.

Bright and cheerful: =. =

This is a game, not a wishing well.
