Chapter 766 - 736: Plotting Again (Part 1)

Hearing Xu Chengwen’s words, Wan Feiyang and Yi Hao immediately turned their gazes toward him.

"What’s the method? Feel free to speak. It doesn’t matter if it’s not perfect," Yi Hao said. Compared to Wan Feiyang, he was much calmer and more composed.

"While we can’t learn Lin Xinghai’s methods, we do have our own advantage. As Divine Demon Realm experts, we can hunt Fourth Level Mutated Zombies," Xu Chengwen said, getting straight to the point.

Wan Feiyang and Yi Hao exchanged a look. In the end, it was Yi Hao who spoke up. "Actually, we’ve considered this before, but our efficiency at hunting Fourth Level Mutated Zombies isn’t very high. It can’t compare to their overall improvement—in fact, you could say it’s far, far worse..."

An individual’s power is insignificant in the face of a team, especially when that team is an entire academy.

Although these Divine Demon Realm experts earned Points quickly, there was still a limit. At best, they could only acquire Points a hundred times faster than other students.

The problem was that the number of students in an academy was in the thousands.

Xu Chengwen nodded. "I know. That’s why my idea is to double down on this approach."

"Think about it. A Third Level Task only yields two or three hundred thousand Points. But if we kill one Fourth Level Mutated Zombie, that’s over a million Points—equivalent to at least five Third Level Tasks."

"I’ve calculated it. If we can kill ten Fourth Level Mutated Zombies in an hour, we should be able to close the gap with them."

"How could we possibly kill that many?" Wan Feiyang interjected. "I’m sure you’ve fought Fourth Level Mutated Zombies before. Even if the three of us team up, killing two in an hour is probably our limit."

"Any more than that would be dangerous. We need to rest, after all. Plus, we can only target Fourth Level Mutated Zombies in the Early or Middle Stage, which is a major limitation."

"I know," Xu Chengwen nodded. "That’s why the first step of my plan is to cultivate at least two more Divine Demon Realm experts."

"Our two universities will each cultivate one more, and then the five of us in the Divine Demon Realm will form a dedicated hunting squad."

"On top of that, we can also gather a group of students from the Body Shaping Realm who have the Space Ability."

"Among all Superpowers, the Space Ability is arguably one of the most powerful. If we equip these Body Shaping Realm students with a Rare Level Mecha to boost their Superpower’s effect by twenty times, they’ll absolutely be able to harm a Fourth Level Mutated Zombie."

"Then, with five of us from the Divine Demon Realm coordinating with twenty students who have the Space Ability, we should be able to hunt Fourth Level Mutated Zombies with relative ease. Killing ten in an hour might not be impossible."

Hearing Xu Chengwen’s proposal, both Wan Feiyang and Yi Hao fell into deep thought. Indeed, if they calculated it that way, it might just be possible.

But this approach also had significant problems.

"To kill Fourth Level Mutated Zombies, we’d have to enter the core area. If we keep hunting like this, won’t we get targeted by other Fourth Level Mutated Zombies?" Yi Hao said with a frown.

"We probably will. The chances are high," Xu Chengwen said.

"In that case, why don’t we just imitate Lin Xinghai? If we have five Divine Demon Realm experts handling rescues, our speed should be comparable to his," Yi Hao said thoughtfully.

"The combined rescue speed of five Divine Demon Realm experts would indeed match Lin Xinghai’s, but we have two universities..." Xu Chengwen trailed off, letting the implication hang.

Yi Hao didn’t bring up the topic again. Having two separate universities was indeed their biggest problem. Unless they concentrated all their personnel at one school, their divided forces still wouldn’t be able to match Lin Xinghai.

But an uneven distribution would destroy the basis of their cooperation.

As for whether one school could cultivate several more Divine Demon Realm experts, no one mentioned it. The resource consumption would be simply too enormous...

Wan Feiyang and Yi Hao exchanged a glance and quickly moved past the issue.

"Alright, let’s talk about cultivating the Divine Demon Realm experts. What are your suggestions for that?" Wan Feiyang asked.

"Both your Capital University and our Modu University must have several students who are on the verge of breaking through to the Divine Demon Realm, or even some who have tried and failed before, right?" Xu Chengwen said.

Wan Feiyang and Yi Hao both nodded.

"In the past, it would have been extremely difficult to try and break through again after a failure. It was even possible to get stuck at that stage forever."

"But now that the Cultivation System has been perfected and we have the Marrow Tempering Realm, it’s not a problem at all. We just need to have them go through the Revised Marrow Cleansing Realm."

"We just need to find those with the highest probability of breaking through, spend the resources to have them quickly complete the Revised Marrow Cleansing Realm, and even just re-cultivating a single Small Realm should be enough for them to succeed."

"So, the only problem for us now is the resource cost. First, for rebuilding the Divine Demon Body, Creation Essence Liquid is undoubtedly the best choice, but it’s also the most expensive."

"As for tempering the five viscera and six bowels, that mainly relies on Blood Qi Power. Now that we don’t have Blood Bags, we can only use Elixirs as a substitute. I recommend using the Demon Blood Pill."

"Although it’s a Divine Demon Realm Level Elixir, someone at the Peak of Marrow Tempering Realm can barely manage to consume it. And only an Elixir of this caliber can provide an enormous amount of Blood Qi Power in the shortest time, allowing them to advance quickly."

"Of course, whether it’s the Creation Essence Liquid that has a price but no market, or the Demon Blood Pills that cost three million Huaxia Coins each, the total expense will be astronomical."

"At that point, it won’t just be the Points we have on hand; we’ll probably have to dip deep into our past savings as well."

"Therefore, you’ll have to think carefully about who you choose to support in becoming a Divine Demon Realm expert. It must be someone whose interests are aligned with yours, or someone you have a very good relationship with," Xu Chengwen said calmly.

The more Wan Feiyang and Yi Hao listened, the deeper their brows furrowed.

They knew that providing the resources Xu Chengwen described for just one person would cost at least seventy to eighty million Huaxia Coins.

It was an enormous sum of money. They could afford it, but it would hurt!

Finally, a complete silence fell over the room.

"Fine! If you’re willing to put up your share, then the two of us certainly can’t back down. It’s decided, then." In the end, Wan Feiyang grit his teeth and made the decision.

"So when do you plan to start?" Yi Hao asked from the side.

"With the resources we’re providing, someone should be able to break through within five hours. We’ll move out as soon as that happens," Xu Chengwen said.
