Chapter 631: Gathering at the Psychic Spring
Chapter 631: Gathering at the Psychic Spring
Snow Leopard stood in front of the two rows of players, hands clasped behind his back, and addressed everyone with a clear voice, "Everyone, I’ve called you all here today because there’s something important I need to emphasize."
His gaze swept over the players’ faces, his expression serious. "This matter is—now, the people here are the ones who bear the hope of the Blue Star’s future! Su Yu once said that to win this interstellar war, relying solely on one person’s strength is not enough. Even if he reaches the peak of the Eighth Rank, it won’t be enough."
"To win this war, we must rely on the collective effort of all humanity!"
"In the future, we will become ‘70+700’—with at least 70 Seventh Rank powerhouses and 700 Sixth Rank powerhouses emerging from among us."
He turned to look at the Mage Corps formation. "The Mage Corps will gather over 10,000 mages of the Fourth Rank and above, becoming the backbone of the Blue Star."
"Whether we can defend this planet in the future relies entirely on all of us. The burden on our shoulders is heavy!"
The players’ expressions grew serious as they listened to Snow Leopard’s words.
Indeed, winning this war requires the combined strength of all humanity. Only through the collective effort of everyone can we have a glimmer of hope.
Snow Leopard’s expression turned cold. "But I must also be upfront about this: I am the overall resource coordinator of the ‘Starvation Plan.’ If anyone here fails to meet the expected standards, even military personnel will be forcibly removed from this team and all resources will be canceled."
"Weakness on the battlefield means a quicker death. Everyone, take this seriously!"
Su Yu’s avatar added, "Snow Leopard is right. The Mage Corps falls under my jurisdiction, and I will set high standards. No one should think they can just fill a spot; everyone must contribute their full strength."
At that moment, a hand suddenly rose in the crowd.
Snow Leopard’s gaze shifted to the raised hand and recognized its owner—[Iced Tea], the strongest player of the Assassin class.
[Iced Tea] was an 18-year-old boy with an ordinary appearance, but his gaming talent was arguably the best on the Blue Star.
First, his skills were top-notch, firmly securing his position as the best Assassin.
Second, he had an extraordinary sense for hidden and main quests.
In the third expansion, [Pandaren Empire], half of the main quests were completed by him.
[Iced Tea] was a solo player who didn’t have the massive resource support that Snow Leopard, Cloud Shepherd, and others enjoyed. However, he relied on his personal talent to earn a significant amount of resources, becoming the premier player in the game.
Of course, the state didn’t ignore such a top-tier player and provided him with substantial materials, allowing him to rapidly advance his cultivation.
[Iced Tea’s] current strength had reached the peak of the Fifth Rank, almost on par with Snow Leopard and Little Sky.
Seeing [Iced Tea] raise his hand, Snow Leopard nodded in his direction, "Iced Tea, you have something to say?"
Everyone’s attention turned to [Iced Tea].
[Iced Tea] showed no signs of nervousness, smiling faintly as he met everyone’s gaze. "Snow Leopard, Star, I’m not sure if you’ve noticed a potential issue?"
"What hidden danger?" Snow Leopard frowned.
"Our hidden danger is..." Ice Black Tea paused for a moment before continuing, "Our hidden danger is that although our strength can be rapidly increased through burn materials, our actual combat power hasn't improved as significantly. Once we truly advance to the fifth or sixth stages, we'll realize that we are actually the weakest among our peers. When we face off against others of the same stage on the battlefield, we'll lose very badly."
After hearing Ice Black Tea's explanation, the other players didn't react much, but Su Yu, Snow Leopard, and Xiao Tian all fell into deep thought.
Ice Black Tea had a point. The high-stage powerhouses created in bulk using burn materials had a significant gap in combat power.
Take Su Yu, who had just ascended to the sixth stage, for example. His equipment didn't keep up; he was still wearing mostly fourth-stage gear, which didn't offer much of an advantage. His skills also lagged behind; he was still working on lower-stage skills and hadn't completed the set yet. Lastly, his combat awareness was lacking; a newly ascended sixth-stage player couldn't match the combat experience of a seasoned veteran of the same stage.
In summary, if the sixth-stage powerhouses were forced to ascend through burn materials, their strength might be even lower than Skrew's peak fifth-stage, which was not what anyone wanted to see.
After a brief moment of contemplation, Zhong Feng looked at Su Yu's clone, "Ke Xing, do you have a solution for this problem?"
"This problem..." Su Yu's clone tapped his chin with his index finger and slowly replied, "When it comes to skills and equipment, I don't have any good solutions.
"Skills require everyone to join major factions and gradually accumulate. For me, my main body has been learning in the Silver Pine Spire. You can also grind for reputation to buy skill books.
"Equipment needs to be slowly discovered through hidden quests, or you can find a player with the legendary equipment crafting talent and spend a lot of resources to boost their crafting ability to the Master level for mass production."
At this point, Su Yu's clone suddenly had a good idea: "Besides skills and equipment, I thought of an excellent way to boost everyone's strength: the Panh Root Elixir, also known as the template elixir! This elixir can significantly make up for everyone's shortcomings!"
The Panh Root Elixir was extremely precious at this stage. Xiao Tian had won the first Illusion Duel championship and received this as a reward. This made Xiao Tian's actual combat power far exceed his peers, making him the second-strongest player, even surpassing Snow Leopard.
Su Yu was well aware of where the Panh Root plants grew and had some knowledge of their cultivation methods. If they could produce a large number of Panh Root Elixirs, Blue Star players could quickly make up for their shortcomings and boost their combat power by a significant margin in a short time!
Su Yu's suggestion was quickly recognized by all the players present.
Since they were going to do this, everyone decided to skip the meeting.
Under the lead of Snow Leopard and Su Yu's clone, everyone directly headed to the northern region of the Golden Sparrow Flower area, where Panh Root plants were densely concentrated.
Snow Leopard coordinated with a hundred major guilds, and 400,000 players above the third stage arrived in the northern region of the Golden Sparrow Flower Empire, implementing a comprehensive sweep of the mountains where Panh Root plants were located.
