Live Strong in the Wilderness
Chapter 478: Can I Join You?
In Xu Yi’s team, not only can you enhance your powers, but you can also understand why they improve so quickly. This is more important than merely enhancing strength.
Anyway, in their minds, they are still building their elite team.
Once they return, they will firmly control those people in their hands and then pile resources on them, allowing them to quickly advance.
As for the others, of course, they have no intention of abandoning them.
After all, they all have Star Charts and are valuable. However, they will have to compete for the resources they need by themselves.
In fact, those people might even become cannon fodder.
After all, only those who die leave behind Star Charts, while those eliminated cannot leave Star Charts. Those without Star Charts cannot be teleported.
Then, people might wonder.
If someone gives their Star Chart to another and remains in their original place, do they complete the challenge if they survive until 500 days?
No, only by following the rules can they complete the challenge. Removing the Star Chart means they cannot go to new places.
However, those people can indeed continue living. How long they survive depends on their own abilities.
Such few people won’t cause much impact on a planet.
The Spirit Race won’t forcibly take them back but rather let them survive on Spirit Blue Star.
After all, if humans succeed, then it matters even less to them.
If they fail and other civilizations succeed and settle on this planet, these few can’t offer resistance either.
Therefore, the Spirit Race doesn’t mind. Such scenarios are within their simulations.
Time swiftly flies by, and yet another night has passed in a blink.
"System, check-in."
Xu Yi completed his 165th check-in in his mind and then began practicing the Body Refining Technique.
The team was all level 4 Mages, and whether others stood guard or not made the effect the same as with Xu Yi on guard. Moreover, Xu Yi was always maintaining his Spiritual Vision.
Besides, they were eagerly hoping for some Fierce Beasts to come by, saving time from searching for other level 4 Fierce Beasts to tame.
Last night, Xu Yi had already successfully tamed a level 4 Fierce Beast.
As for the other three, Xu Yi needed to continue taming them.
Unfortunately, by nightfall, Xu Yi hadn’t managed to successfully tame the second one.
Indeed, today Xu Yi did not venture out but stayed at the camp to tame Fierce Beasts.
If he had known he wouldn’t succeed all day, he would have gone out earlier.
Going outside, even if he couldn’t find other level 4 Fierce Beasts, finding some useful plants would be nice.
At night, everyone went to train, except for Xu Yi, who sat alone by the campfire, using Taming Skills while practicing.
"Xu Yi, can we chat for a bit?" Ivica suddenly approached Xu Yi, softly asking and pointing outside the camp.
"Here is fine, what do you want to talk about?" Xu Yi politely inquired.
Ivica hesitated for a moment, then sighed inwardly.
She knew she couldn’t rely on her appearance and aura to influence Xu Yi.
"I want my brother to join your team, is that possible? I can assure you he’ll completely cooperate with you in action and won’t leave until the challenge ends. He has always yearned for power, and with you, he won’t be held back by me." Ivica looked at Xu Yi. Although ambitious, she was selfless toward her brother.
Xu Yi’s team is truly powerful, and so are the people in it.
Even the two groups of eliminated participants are now level 4 Mages.
If Lei Jie were in Xu Yi’s team, he would certainly reach level 4 quickly as well. Thus, Ivica hoped Lei Jie could join Xu Yi’s team.
"Sorry, our team doesn’t need more people." Xu Yi decisively refused, as their team already had great cohesion and didn’t require new members.
"Can’t we negotiate? I’m open to any price." As she spoke, Ivica winked at Xu Yi.
"Sorry, our team really doesn’t need more people." Xu Yi declined once more.
Ivica bit her lip, not expecting Xu Yi to be so impenetrable.
The same response twice meant Xu Yi wouldn’t even consider it.
Ivica realized she couldn’t persuade Xu Yi.
So, she could only give up on this idea.
Still, she was somewhat reluctant, continuing to ask, "What about others? Can they not join your team either?"
"Yes, I think our team is quite harmonious. If someone new joins, it could disrupt that harmony. I’m not targeting you or your brother." Xu Yi explained.
"What about the eliminated ones? If new eliminated participants want to join your team?" Ivica’s eyes were fixed on Xu Yi’s face; she wanted to know the answer badly.
Simultaneously, she knew those eliminated participants wanted to know this too.
Xu Yi’s strength was better understood by those eliminated participants now.
Completing 500 days could earn 1 billion.
Those eliminated participants still had one more chance. Joining Xu Yi’s team would increase the likelihood of earning that 1 billion. Hence, Ivica believed those eliminated wouldn’t return to their original teams but would definitely want to join Xu Yi’s team.
Therefore, she particularly wanted to know Xu Yi’s perspective on these people.
Xu Yi glanced at Ivica and couldn’t help but smile, "The same answer and thought, our team doesn’t need more people, and that applies to the eliminated ones too."
Ivica felt a bit relieved and asked again, "What if they bring in many resources you need? Would you still reject them?"
Xu Yi nodded, saying, "No, on the 199th day, I’ll make a trip back, and I’ll have all the resources I need."
"Okay, I understand, thank you for being honest." Ivica turned her back to the following camera ball, a smile forming at the corner of her mouth because she still wanted to win over those eliminated participants to her team.
Since Xu Yi had blocked her path, those eliminated ones could only choose from her, Li Kang, and Jerry, or simply give up.
Giving up means losing not just 1 billion, but also Telekinesis.
These eliminated ones were different from the first batch; they had experienced Telekinesis.
So, Ivica felt that not many would choose to completely give up.
The more she could recruit, the better.
After all, there were quite a few eliminated ones in her team.
After the previous events, it’s likely no eliminated participant would consider branching out independently.
Xu Yi naturally guessed Ivica’s thoughts, but he also wanted to use this opportunity to inform the other eliminated participants, so they’d have no reason to blame him later.
After all, he had already stated his intentions upfront.
Additionally, he wanted to let Ivica know his plans to return.
After all, going back would bring in more resources, benefitting everyone.
