Cheng Xu began to regret that he had made it too obvious that he had sided with Xi Xi in the public chat.
He anxiously scrolled through the chat history from the transaction, afraid that he might have given himself away or revealed his location.
"In any case, we must not lose our composure and proceed steadily according to the original plan." Xi Xi sorted out her logic and then said calmly.
"There's no need for everyone to worry too much, and certainly don't try to reduce your posts or transactions on the public chat. Doing so would only make things look suspicious," Xi Xi continued, her gaze sweeping over everyone present.
Everyone nodded in agreement. At this moment, Cheng Xu suddenly interjected, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. Did you all see that? The team that came in eighth place is also a Chinese organization!"
The organization's name was quite casual, actually being "Imperial Jade Liquor." However, it was precisely this unconventional nature that made it instantly recognizable as a secret code to all Chinese people.
A quick glance at the public chat reveals that quite a few people voted for this team.
According to Cheng's father, this organization keeps a very low profile.
Perhaps Chinese people tend to follow the principle of not flaunting their wealth. Compared to those overly flamboyant foreign organizations, most organizations of all sizes in China are relatively reserved.
The Cheng family had done several transactions with this organization before. Although they weren't very familiar with each other, they were all compatriots, so they were relatively polite to each other.
After confirming that Mr. Cheng was Chinese, the other party subtly expressed their desire to win over the Cheng family. However, upon learning that the Cheng family had joined another organization, they wisely abandoned the idea.
"From this perspective, they should be reasonable and decent people," Cheng's father concluded.
The rewards for the mid-term vote were distributed shortly afterward. Since ranked second in the vote, everyone in the team received a special reward.
The mid-term rankings are not compared to the final results. The teams that make the list do not receive any reward share. However, the bettors cast their votes blindly, which is quite difficult. Therefore, the event is designed so that as long as you bet on the top three teams, you can share the betting prizes.
Cheng Xu had high hopes for this vote, hoping to win big. However, when he heard that the silver betting package would be split equally among the 78 adventurers who voted for , he was stunned and his face showed a look of astonishment.
It's worth noting that their team only has 9 people, which is considered a small number among many organizations.
They acted so discreetly that they thought few people would notice them. So who were the remaining 69 people who voted for them?!
“Oh dear, don’t be so paranoid. Maybe it’s just because we used Chinese characters that our compatriots saw it and threw it away on a whim?” Cheng’s mother shoved her son.
Xi Xi shook her head thoughtfully and said, "No... This midterm vote uses a one-person-one-vote system, so those who want to get the special gift pack will definitely choose the safest option."
"Putting everything else aside, the Clinton and Imperial Jade Liquor teams are far more well-known than us. Logically and emotionally, players would never consider us first."
After hearing Xi Xi's analysis, everyone fell silent, even when they were receiving the gifts to be divided equally, there was a rare silence about them.
The gift package contained excellent supplies, including fresh vegetables and various types of red meat that are hard to find in the sea. Liu Yunyan was also the first to discover that there was a small bottle of preservative mixed in with the gift package.
On the public screen, those players who voted for Clinton as a group also received gift packs. Although the quantity was not as much as what Xi Xi and her group received when they split the pack, the variety of vegetables and meats in the golden betting gift pack was indeed more diverse.
Without exception, all those who guessed correctly received at least one "preservative".
[Item Description: A highly effective preservative. Once opened, it will protect one item. It has no side effects and is effective in preserving freshness for 24 hours.]
This little "preservative" didn't generate much discussion on the public chat, and many people didn't even notice it existed.
Only a very few people mentioned the preservative in the public chat. They expressed their gratitude for the thoughtful arrangement of the event with a hint of pride, saying that the preservative could be used to keep fresh meat fresh, so that one piece of meat could be eaten in several meals.
However, the true purpose of this preservative is probably only known to Xi Xi and her group.
They looked at each other, their faces showing a sudden realization, understanding that this was a warning secretly given by the game.
Chu Zhiqin even carefully examined the ingredient list on the back of the . The list clearly stated "derived from the god who nurtures all things in the deep sea." Although the font was small, it was exceptionally eye-catching, and its hidden meaning was self-evident.
The only saving grace was that the game alert occurred slightly below their progress, indicating that their overall total mileage was among the highest in the server.
"Revert to the previous arrangements; one person needs to stay on night watch," Xi Xi continued, assigning tasks.
“Li Jinshao, it’s not realistic for you to participate in the night watch alone. How about this, you will be in charge of the corrosion protection of all vehicles. Check for defects, coat them with mutated whale blubber on time, and you can skip the night watch.”
Everyone agreed that, at least the robotic arm of the Li Jinshao submarine was much more convenient than anyone else's when it came to inspecting these things.
After returning to her RV via the teleportation array, Xi Xi stared at the All-Seeing Guardian on the central control screen for a long time.
She set the All-Seeing Guardian to a mode that would trigger an alarm whenever hostile creatures or non-friends appeared within its detection range before dragging her tired body upstairs.
