Chapter 181: Chapter 162: Rowan Rhodes Is Also Going to Build His Own Faction

Meanwhile.

After sending her message, Zelda Parrish had been waiting for Rowan Rhodes’s reply. Her heart just wouldn’t calm down. She kept using her Hook Claw to fish for supplies in the ocean. She noticed that the supplies in the ocean seemed to have increased significantly; every cast of her hook caught something. Most importantly, the number of wooden chests had grown.

After hooking a wooden chest, Zelda Parrish went ahead and opened it.

[Obtained: mineral water*5, bread*5, Wooden Board*20, iron nails*20, Positioning Card*1]

Seeing the items from the wooden chest, Zelda Parrish subconsciously froze. A Positioning Card. This was the third one she had obtained today.

Most players had actually figured out the pattern of wooden chest drops by now. After surviving each natural disaster, the resources found in wooden chests would increase slightly. The variety of resources fluctuated, consisting of both basic and rare resources. One certainty was that if a chest contained only common resources, the quantity would be larger. If it held rare resources, the quantity would be much smaller.

Naturally, the former was much more common. Rare resources were not that easy to come by. Positioning Cards, by their Nature, belonged to the rare resource category.

It was safe to say that ever since Positioning Cards appeared, they had basically been priceless. Many players who wanted to buy them couldn’t find a seller, and whenever one did appear, the price was exorbitantly high.

Yet, even so, people still bought them. After all, no matter how expensive they were, could they be worth more than another player’s entire fortune? Many players wanted to use Positioning Cards to improve their own strength.

Today, after many eager players decided to establish their own factions, she noticed that the number of Positioning Cards in the Sea Survival Shop had increased. Initially, she thought it was just a clash of ambition between ambitious individuals. Now, it seemed that the pure quantity of Positioning Cards had simply increased, and some players wanted to cash out.

But what concerned Zelda Parrish the most was that an increase in Positioning Cards meant more clashes between players. Because of the great battle where over a hundred players went after Rowan Rhodes during the virus disaster, many-versus-one situations would only happen more frequently. Positioning Cards played a crucial role in this.

Now that the Sea Survival Game had increased their drop rate, wasn’t this just encouraging players to plunder one another?

The situation was growing even more perilous!

After all, not everyone possessed the strength to fight a hundred enemies single-handedly like Rowan Rhodes did. She figured that even without the support of the Abyssal Sea Serpent and the virus disaster, Rowan Rhodes could absolutely handle over a hundred players.

But as for now! Even she herself, as long as she was on the leaderboards, had a high chance of being targeted. Therefore, she had to possess the ability to protect herself before she became a target.

At this very moment, Zelda Parrish’s sense of urgency grew even stronger.

She wasn’t even the only one to notice this. Skye Schuyler had already mentioned in their group chat that she had also opened many Positioning Cards from chests, noting that the situation was looking grim.

It could be said that the four regular players of District 122 were, to a certain extent, natural allies. They could vouch for each other’s character, and their skills perfectly complemented one another. They were an ideal match. The reason they discussed some topics in private was simply out of fear of disturbing Rowan Rhodes.

Just as Zelda Parrish was about to reply to Skye Schuyler, Rowan Rhodes’s message arrived.

[I’ve obtained some critical information. In the future, establishing a faction will be necessary to gain a better foothold in the Sea Survival Game, so I am preparing to form one.]

This simple sentence instantly filled Zelda Parrish with both shock and joy. The shock came from the sheer amount of information hidden within Rowan Rhodes’s words. The joy came from the fact that Rowan Rhodes had agreed.

[Zelda Parrish: I am willing to become a part of your faction.]

To Zelda Parrish, no matter what, agreeing first was the most important thing.

Once Rowan Rhodes formed a faction, they would have a true backbone. Rowan Rhodes was definitely the kind of person who could command the masses with a single call. And she was highly likely to establish the largest faction in the entire Sea Survival Game.

In the brief moment it took to send her message, Zelda Parrish had already begun making detailed plans.

Meanwhile, upon seeing Zelda Parrish’s swift reply, Rowan Rhodes was a little surprised. Her attitude was incredibly resolute.

The bit of information she revealed to Zelda Parrish was merely laying the groundwork for a series of upcoming maneuvers. She also hoped it would raise the vigilance of Zelda Parrish and the others. She just hadn’t expected that, compared to the contents of her message, Zelda Parrish would be far more concerned with officially confirming her status as her subordinate.

Rowan Rhodes felt a little dazed. After all, in her memories, Zelda Parrish was destined to become a future weapons mogul. Yet now, this very same mogul was going to become her subordinate?
