The series of blows made Xia Chuhe doubt the reality of the world.
Is all of this really not a dream?
However, the physical pain and clear logic forced Xia Chuhe to abandon this unrealistic idea.
Xia Chuhe even wondered if she had entered another instance.
But how can the dungeon be so large?
The area encompasses not only the wasteland and Dream City to the former site of Starfire, but also countless bases.
...
Li Yue's departure left everyone at the food and amusement park feeling depressed.
Xia Chuhe spent several days in a daze, unable to even muster the energy to enter the food and amusement park.
It was Li Qiusheng's problem that roused her again.
Li Qiusheng: "Boss, once we've connected with the Heavenly God Temple, what's the next step to get revenge?"
Xia Chuhe's plan is to connect with the Heavenly God Temple, strive to develop his power, take over the nearest Cape Base, and then use the Cape Base's elevator to go directly to the upper level to find out who the enemy who has been targeting them is, and then make further plans.
Her current plan, however, is stuck at the stage of "developing influence".
The last time she sought cooperation with Changsheng and Weng Xintian, their attitudes towards her changed drastically, which made Xia Chuhe feel a strong sense of crisis.
This also made her realize that her biggest problem was that she didn't have enough people available.
There are guards on the upper levels.
The army has mercenaries.
Immortality is believed to be aided by Heaven.
Even the Lighthouse still has a number of evolved beings that are almost the same as the Xintian Gang.
Xia Chuhe, however, only had a small team.
She couldn't help but wonder if there really were only four nameless individuals? Oh, now there are only three left.
Xia Chuhe asked 02 to confirm this question, and unsurprisingly received an affirmative answer: "Yes, there were only the four of us before. 04's ability is the Imposter, and numbers 05 through 122 are all his aliases. But now there are you and Bao'er, right?"
"I hereby officially announce that from today onwards, Bao'er will be number 124, and you... if you don't mind, you'll be number 125. If you do mind, it's not impossible for you to be number 1."
Xia Chuhe couldn't smile.
02 nervously explained in a low voice, "The reason for adding 01 is to create mystery, so that others will think that if the rest of us are so powerful, then 01 must be even more powerful. That way, no one will dare to cause trouble for an unknown person."
Xia Chuhe made a fist-and-palm gesture towards 02, indicating his admiration.
However, 02 still provided a very good way to form a legion and recruit people.
“We can have 03 handle this. Before the Tianya Forum, 03 mainly relied on introductions from acquaintances to get missions. Most of his acquaintances were various kinds of assassins. I’ll have him ask others to join later.”
Besides 03's connections, 02 also knows many mechanical engineers, so he has absolutely no worries about weapons and ammunition.
On the other hand, Buyi specifically highlighted the active users on the trading forum.
Although users often use different anonymous identities when making transactions, having backend access has this advantage: it allows you to accurately identify the actual identity.
Based on the number of tasks a user accepted and the quality of their completed tasks, Bu Yi scored each of them individually.
After scoring, they are ranked according to their scores, and then invited to join the group via private messages.
The talent selected using this method is all of high quality.
Moreover, these people are usually free agents without any organization.
Organized individuals cannot take on large-scale private assignments.
Xia Chuhe also opened the Follower Handbook and selected people from it.
During dungeon runs and travels, the follower handbook gradually filled with a long, long list of names. Although most of them had low loyalty, at least they harbored the intention to follow Xia Chuhe.
Unfortunately, very few of the people listed in the manual can be contacted.
Moreover, Xia Chuhe had never even heard of many of them.
But when Xia Chuhe saw the names Xingxing, Heiniu, and Chengmu, he understood. Those who had received her kindness or heard of her deeds in Dream City had also become members of the Followers' Handbook.
Aside from the three ways of cultivating your own people, there is another fastest way to hire people—find a mercenary group.
As long as the price is high enough, there's no shortage of people willing to do it.
The only downside to this approach is that some...most mercenary groups aren't very trustworthy. If you actually take them to war, they'll definitely shirk their duties and back down while shouting slogans when danger arises.
Therefore, the military corps can only provide a show of strength at most. When it comes to the moment when they really have to break ties with the higher-ups, they still have to rely on their own people.
With the produce from the farm, the Cape Trading Post, and Dream City, Xia Chuhe can offer the legion very good treatment.
However, those who want to join the legion must first complete a set of questions.
This set of questions includes many tests about one's values and attitudes towards superiors. Those who clearly favor those in power will definitely fail the tests.
As for those who eventually join the Legion, 02 and Wang Yan will educate them about the problems under the rule of the upper echelons, focusing on the origin of the nutrient solution and the exploitation of androids and non-evolved beings.
With a multi-pronged approach, the Food and Amusement Park's legion quickly grew to a considerable size. While training, the legion also expanded its territory around the park, easily eliminating any smaller factions that coveted it.
In addition to training, the legion also participates in city construction, striving to excavate a large city as soon as possible.
When the food and amusement park was running quite well, Xia Chuhe finally suggested taking Bao'er to visit the area near the North Tiger Base.
Once she resolves the mystery of her origins, all that remains is to rightfully take over the Heavenly God Temple and half of Dream Chasing City, and then cooperate with Changsheng to directly attack the Cape Base.
If Changsheng is unwilling, or even unwilling to pass through, then she will have no choice but to resort to some dishonorable means.
At this point, whether or not Xia Chuhe figured out his origins was no longer of much significance.
However, she still harbored a lingering attachment, a longing for modern life, and...
There is a great deal of longing for family ties.
Xia Chuhe wanted to take Bao'er to the base, and Bao'er naturally had no objections.
03. Concerned for Bao'er's safety, he offered to be their bodyguard and accompany them.
With the 03 as a powerful weapon, Xia Chuhe couldn't have asked for more.
The three decided to travel to the North Tiger Base secretly, without alerting the base or its higher-ups.
So they didn't make a big fuss about saying goodbye, but instead traveled light and quietly set off through the tunnel that led directly to the Cape Trading Market.
As the food and amusement park expanded, the tunnel, which was originally only wide enough for one person to pass through, was gradually enlarged and transformed into a two-lane tunnel similar to those in a base.
Xia Chuhe drove his SUV and arrived at the Cape Trading Market in just one day.
