Chapter 97 About Cooperation
The vice president of the God District who invited District 10736 to join the guild certainly had a goal he wanted to achieve.
Although the core principle of the God Zone is member unity.
However, in this survival journey, especially when facing higher-star dungeons... the role of unity is not as great as imagined.
Because often, unity alone cannot solve the problem.
For example, right now, more than a dozen top players in the God Zone are trapped in a 4-star dungeon.
Are those dozen or so powerful figures not united? Impossible. Unless they encountered an illusion-like attack in the dungeon, forcing a change in their mindset and causing them to turn on each other, they are absolutely a very united team.
It could even be said that these dozen or so big shots were the most united team in the entire Survival Hall, apart from the Mad Demon Guild and the Ghost Control Guild.
These dozen or so top players have already entered numerous dungeons together and successfully cleared them. That's the culmination of nearly four years of hard work, the result of countless adventures and survivals in each dungeon. Furthermore, since the top players remaining in the God Zone share the same aspirations, they are even more determined to entrust their entire trust to their teammate.
These dozen or so big shots are fighting side by side; to distrust their unity would be an insult to them.
Even so, even with such unity, they still encountered the difficult situation they are in now.
Therefore, compared to unity, strength is actually more important.
We must be stronger, much stronger.
Otherwise, even the strongest unity will be of no use.
Realizing this, the vice president of the God District quietly changed his previous goals.
In the past, because there were more than ten extremely powerful players leading the server, the vice president, who was more inclined to support the guild, always set his sights on properly managing the guild in the server.
However, it is clear that even with the combined strength of those dozen or so top players, survival in a 4-star dungeon is not guaranteed.
So the vice president thought that perhaps she should hurry up and find more players with higher potential to join the God Zone.
Just then, District 10736 appeared in the Survival Lobby.
As expected, the five top players who led this 10736 district to maintain such a large number of surviving players all possessed special abilities with considerable potential.
These five alone could form a perfect team that excels in both offense and defense.
Not to mention that these five individuals have already developed a sufficient understanding and even trust in each other through nearly four months of prior contact. Therefore, they will be able to achieve optimal teamwork even more quickly in more challenging dungeons.
This is exactly what the vice president wants to recruit.
It was after meeting the player from District 10736 face-to-face today that she became absolutely certain in her heart that she had to recruit him.
What the vice president didn't expect was that, besides these five, their server 10736 also had another, even more mysterious and powerful player. The vice president's first reaction was naturally to try and bring this powerful player into the top server as well.
However, the players in Zone 10736 seemed hesitant to speak about this.
Finally, he only vaguely indicated that the big shot in their area was rather aloof and advised her not to have such expectations.
Therefore, the vice president ultimately had no choice but to propose the idea of "cooperation":
If that top player really doesn't want to join the God Zone, they can trade with the God Zone to obtain enough resources to upgrade the other party's special abilities, as well as other resources that the other party needs.
The reason for proposing this collaboration was that, after guessing that this mysterious and aloof big shot had cleared the Killing Dungeon in District 10736 and was very likely to be the final dungeon champion, the vice president realized that this aloof big shot probably possessed a lot of rare resources that he couldn't use up but couldn't currently convert into points.
For example, hundreds of millions of low-level medicines, repair kits, and low-level energy potions.
This is absolutely no exaggeration. Based on past experience, the top player in the Killer Dungeon will definitely have this much loot after nearly seven rounds where the loot increases tenfold. This is why, although the Killer Dungeon is brutal, veteran players in the Survival Lobby will absolutely choose the Killer Dungeon first if they obtain a 1-star dungeon mandatory dungeon card.
Because it's such a great deal. Furthermore, the tenfold increase in resources obtained through the Killing Dungeon, if exceeding the vehicle's carrying capacity, can be directly added to the player's inventory as data. In other words, even the initial vehicle, without any upgrades, can hold all the resources obtained through the tenfold increase in the Killing Dungeon.
However, this windfall also comes with its own set of problems. While the resources gained from killing in dungeons are ten times more plentiful, they cannot be directly sold to other players in the Survival Lobby. And since they can't be sold, it naturally means that you can only consume them yourself.
But the amount of resources is simply too much. How could a top player who achieves first place in a kill-fest dungeon really need to consume so many resources every time they enter a dungeon to clear their inventory?
This has led to a headache for many high-ranking players who have cleared the Killing Dungeon and multiplied their resources tenfold before entering the Survival Lobby, only to find that their resources might rot indefinitely.
Of course, while these resources cannot be directly sold to other players for points, normal resource trading and resource gifting are possible.
Clearly, most players will not choose to donate resources.
However, trading goods with each other is not an easy task.
Even veteran players in the Survival Lobby often can't offer enough supplies for trading. Not to mention, other players often need the same supplies they themselves require. Plus, even veteran players sometimes face shortages of points and supplies… making price negotiation extremely common.
A low-level medicine that costs 50 points per unit in the points mall may be discounted to about 20 points or even less than 10 points when multiple units are bundled and traded with other players.
For example, a low-level special ability upgrade card worth 100,000 points should be equivalent to 2,000 low-level medicines according to the points mall price. However, in a direct trade of resources, the player with the low-level special ability upgrade card might require the other party to provide at least 5,000 low-level medicines.
Even if these five thousand low-level medicines were provided, it wouldn't amount to much for the top player in the killing dungeon.
But this is clearly a situation where you're at a disadvantage, which makes you feel really bad.
Furthermore, for players with special abilities, the higher they go in upgrading their special abilities, the more upgrade cards they need to consume.
Even after a special ability reaches level 3, players can no longer use low-level upgrade cards to advance further; they must switch to intermediate or advanced cards. Since a low-level upgrade already requires 100,000 points, the points required for intermediate and advanced upgrades are naturally even greater.
Not to mention, upgrading special abilities requires not only upgrade cards, but also a huge number of them. Add to that upgrading vehicle items, buying weapons for yourself, or other life-saving special items that are consumed extremely quickly…
The required resources are simply too numerous. Even the top player who has cleared the Killing Dungeon will struggle to keep up with the resource consumption.
If players can't keep up with the consumption of resources during their survival journey, or are unable to quickly exchange temporarily unnecessary resources for urgently needed items, they may end up dying in the dungeon.
Therefore, the vice president of the God District proposed this cooperation.
The cub, after discussing with A11, gave its final answer.
Just then, Cheng Wen opened the panel to look at his chat page with Su Shi.
The previous two messages on the chat page were from twenty minutes ago. They were replies from Su Shi, who confirmed that he had received the message and indicated that he needed to seriously consider it.
Cheng Wen replied immediately: Okay.
Then he told Kui Haoqiang and the others about it.
Twenty minutes isn't a long time, especially considering it was a life-or-death decision. Once Cheng Wen and the others confirmed that Boss Su had received the message and was considering it, they stopped worrying. They then began discussing topics related to weapons and special abilities.
After all, the vice president of that divine district told them that in dungeons of 2 stars and above, weapons and special abilities would be equally important.
At that moment, just as Cheng Wen was about to close the panel after confirming that he hadn't missed any information about Su Shi while chatting with Kui Haoqiang and the others, a message belonging to Su Shi popped up.
The cub was a little nervous at this moment, and he asked A11 again, "Should I reply like this?"
When he asked the question, the cub had already sent the reply to Team Leader Cheng Wen. But he still felt uneasy because A11 had just told him that his suggestion could very well change the fate of the players in Zone 10736.
Although, as a cub, he couldn't really fully understand why his decision was so important.
But before he knew it, such a decision, which could almost determine the fate of a district, was truly handed over to him.
So the cub had to be even more careful to make sure it heard A11’s explanation of all the help and benefits of joining the guild.
[Don't worry, little one. Team Leader Cheng Wen and the others probably already have a pretty definite answer. I don't need to directly advise them on whether or not to join the God Zone guild. Just point out the parts of the long message Team Leader Cheng Wen sent that are definitely beneficial and detrimental to Zone 10736.]
Yes, the cub's reply to Cheng Wen did not directly suggest whether District 10736 should join.
Instead, he simply stated reality objectively, as always, expressing purely personal opinions.
As for whether to join or not, the final decision rests with player 10736.
Cheng Wen and his colleagues were not surprised by this.
After all, Su Shi, the big shot, never considered himself an absolute being who could control all players in server 10736 just because he helped so many. He only guided them when they were lost and offered help when they faced dire situations. And this time, he once again analyzed the pros and cons of joining the God server for them.
That's enough.
After the expert analyzed the pros and cons, Cheng Wen and his team would indeed become more determined in their decision.
After all, they had genuinely trusted and revered Boss Su Shi.
