Chapter 428: Panel Upgrade (First Update)
Chapter 428: Panel Upgrade (First Update)
"Let’s put it on hold for now!"
Seeing the Kaitans below gradually recovering from their confusion and starting to elect leaders, Jerry decided to let them develop on their own for a few days.
Guidance from the Gods is most effective when they are facing difficulties and hardships. When everyone is well-fed and content, what more could they pray for from the Gods?
Thus, Jerry floated in mid-air, observing how the Kaitans selected their leaders while opening the Panel.
"Two hundred thousand, it’s indeed a good deed!"
Seeing the number of Little Red Stars on the Panel increase by two hundred thousand, Jerry’s face showed a look of confirmation.
Although he didn’t help them fend off the Kree Fleet when the Kree attacked Kaitan Planet, he did free them from Kree captivity and gave them their freedom.
So, even though it wasn’t much, the one million Kaitans together managed to reward him with some Little Red Stars.
This thought led him to wonder if he would receive more Little Red Stars if he liberated the colonies under Kree control.
But after some consideration, he wasn’t sure.
If the colonies had been under Kree control for a long time, with many residents no longer on their original planets and having assimilated into Kree culture, liberating them might not be a good thing.
He estimated that only liberating newly colonized planets would yield Little Red Stars.
The best scenario would be if he could intervene just as the Kree were about to attack a newly discovered planet, similar to preventing an Alien invasion on Earth, which would result in a large number of Little Red Stars.
However, such opportunities would be hard to come by, as it wasn’t easy for the Kree Empire to discover a new planet.
"Panel Upgrading"
While Jerry was contemplating how to earn more Little Red Stars, the Panel suddenly flashed, and the entire screen vanished, leaving only five prominent words.
Seeing these five words, Jerry’s heart filled with joy.
This meant that soon, he would be able to unlock another Magic Mini World.
Each previous Magic Mini World had greatly assisted him, so he had always been eagerly anticipating new ones.
However, since the last upgrade, a long time had passed without any activity, and he had almost started to think that the Panel could only capture three worlds.
Now, he finally had another upgrade.
Closing the Panel, Jerry turned his attention back to the Kaitans below.
By now, the one million Kaitans had elected three leaders to guide them in exploring their new world. Not one, but three, and they were three female Kaitans of different colors.
Through the translator, Jerry learned that these three young female Kaitans were actually the remaining princesses of the three nations on Kaitan Planet.
It turned out that when the Kree Empire captured the Kaitans, to prevent any uprisings and to control and brainwash them, the Kree had killed all the male Kaitans of the royal families.
Thus, the three remaining princesses naturally became the highest-ranking and most respected individuals among the one million Kaitans.
Having received the best royal education from a young age, the three princesses indeed managed to lead the one million Kaitans to survive the following days.
Jerry named the three princesses based on the colors of their ears and tails: Yellow Princess, White Princess, and Black Princess.
Princess Black was agile and skilled in combat, leading all the able-bodied male Kaitans to search for any sticks, stones, and other potential weapons nearby. Her role was to protect the weaker Kaitans and engage in hunting.
Princess White was adept at management, overseeing the temporary camp by the river they had found. She efficiently organized various tasks, attempting to start a fire for warmth, picking edible fruits, and preparing food.
Princess Yellow, clearly a healer, led all the Kaitans with some medical knowledge to identify poisons and herbs, and to treat those injured during hunts or suffering from illnesses.
Of course, surviving in a completely unfamiliar world was not such a rosy prospect.
A week later, when Jerry returned to the ring world, the number of Kaitans had already dropped to less than a million, indicating that some had lost their lives while exploring the new world.
The three princesses had done their best.
However, reality was always harsh. Encountering fierce animals like bears, wolves, tigers, and leopards during hunts, even with the advantage of numbers, inevitably led to some casualties.
After all, they were armed with sticks and stones, wearing only cloth, not armor and spears.
While gathering food, there were also instances of being bitten by venomous snakes or accidentally consuming poisonous fruits, leading to fatalities.
In an unfamiliar world with nothing at their disposal, accidents could happen in unexpected ways, leaving the three princesses feeling helpless.
"Another hundred of our people have left us today. It's all because of my inadequacy. If Brother King were still here, this would never have happened!"
Princess White trembled, her snowy white cat ears quivering as she sat by the campfire, feeling guilty.
Princess Black, standing beside her, patted Princess White's shoulder.
"You've done your best. And I think things are good now, better than being taken to Hell by those demons. Although the beasts are powerful, at least we can defeat them together!"
"I wonder how the Heavenly God is doing, whether he is still battling the demons."
Princess Yellow flicked her fluffy yellow tail, her eyes filled with reverence.
Hearing Princess Yellow mention "Heavenly God", Princess White and Princess Black also looked up with reverence.
"It seems about right!"
Jerry appeared in mid-air, nodding as he listened to the princesses' conversation. Then, with a gesture, he slowly sent down several items he had prepared, lowering them toward the three princesses.
In the darkness of night, a brilliant light suddenly appeared, drawing the attention of all the Kaitans.
Upon closer inspection, the light was emanating from several items.
Then, a familiar voice echoed through the night sky:
"I bestow divine artifacts upon the three princesses, to aid in your survival!"
All the Kaitans, including the three princesses, immediately bowed in reverence.
The glowing items then landed before the three princesses.
Before Princess Black was a magnificent large sword and a golden shield.
Reverently accepting the glowing sword and shield, Princess Black instantly received information about them in her mind.
The sword was called the Sword of Carmen, incredibly sharp and capable of cutting through anything. The shield was the Shield of Carmen, impervious to any attack. Both were divine artifacts of the great God Carmen.
Holding the divine sword and shield, Princess Black knew that no beast would ever harm her people again.
However, a slight doubt lingered in her mind: what would happen if she used the divine sword to strike the divine shield?
The moment this thought appeared, she quickly dismissed it, feeling it was a sacrilegious thought toward the Gods.
