Chapter 44: Collaboration, speculation about the world

"First, there are nine people who have obtained the silver treasure chest, including you and me. How do you convince the other seven to join this organization?"

Ji Chaoyang may have expected Xu Xin to ask this question, and said in a relaxed tone: "Among the other nine people, the third, fifth and seventh are the ones I have been communicating with during the novice protection period. They also obtained the silver treasure chest with my help, so we only need to deal with the remaining four people. The key to this matter actually lies in you."

"I?"

Hearing Ji Chaoyang's words, Xu Xin was secretly shocked.

There were only nine people who obtained the silver treasure chest, and four of them, including Ji Chaoyang himself, were related to him!

This guy is really a big shot!

"That's right. If you join our organization, we will be the only ones in the entire 188th District that can make metal weapons, armor and tools. I believe you have seen those things. The performance of green-level equipment is basically comparable to the blue-level equipment we made before.

Currently, iron ore and other metal ores are scarce, and we only have two people, and our production capacity is insufficient. So if we declare to the public that the metal tools made by the two of us are only open to trading within the organization at this stage, what do you think they will choose

As the top ten strong players in the event, they must want to become stronger. Not to mention that everyone in our organization is strong, and the exchange of resources and information must be much more efficient than their own exploration.

At the same time, our organization does not have any mandatory requirements, and there are no disadvantages, so why not do it? "

Good man, it's a monopoly, isn't it? It's a bit like a capitalist.

Xu Xin nodded secretly. There was nothing wrong with what Ji Chaoyang said. Even Xu Xin himself would definitely join such an organization if he encountered one. According to him, the only restriction might be the unified pricing of materials.

But there are nine people who got the silver treasure chest, which is not a small number either. Compared with individual pricing, which will lead to increasingly inward-looking prices, unified pricing is more advantageous.

"Then the second question is, how do the members of the organization communicate with each other?"

Ji Chaoyang smiled and said, "You must have had very few contacts these days, Xu Xin."

"Not many indeed."

"After the novice protection period, the tree house opened a function similar to group chat. Currently, each person can only join one group chat. I was in the same group chat with the three people who received the silver treasure chest. We can set up a new group chat." Ji Chaoyang explained.

"Can I ask how you helped them find the silver treasure chest?" Xu Xin was very curious about this, because the process of how he got the silver treasure chest was very strange, and he didn't know whether other people were like him.

"Of course, you also got your silver treasure chest from the stream, right?"

"yes."

"I just told them that my silver treasure chest was in the stream, and asked them to explore along the stream and be careful of the monsters in the stream. You should have noticed that the stream flowed slower where the treasure chest was, and the sound of the water was slightly different."

The stream slowed down? The sound of water flowing? Xu Xin frowned and thought about it.

No? The stream was still rushing, and he didn't pay much attention to the sound of the water. Could it be that the Deinosuchus he encountered was different from the others

"Are all the silver treasure chests in the stream?" Xu Xin continued to ask.

"I don't know, there were actually a few other people in that group chat, but only the three of them found the treasure chest."

"Then what kind of monsters did you encounter in the stream? I am a crocodile." Xu Xin concealed the fact that the crocodile did not attack him and asked tentatively.

The crocodile did not attack him, and even gave him a silver treasure chest for free. This made Xu Xin feel more and more strange the more he thought about it.

"Here I am, there is a big turtle as big as a round table, lying at the bottom of the stream. It suddenly attacked me when I approached it. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and blocked it, but it still bit off my weapon directly." Ji Chaoyang said with some heartache, "That was a blue-grade weapon! Fortunately, the turtle was broken into pieces because of the protection of the tree house, otherwise I might have been stuck there too."

Sure enough, the Deinosuchus that Xu Xin encountered was indeed different.

The turtle, as big as a dining table, was indeed very big, but it was at most a feast for the crocodile.

What on earth is that crocodile? There is no red dot showing on the map.

When he was in the underground world, all those monsters could appear on the map. Could it be that this giant crocodile was not an underground creature

"What do you think, Xu Xin, are you interested in creating this organization with me?" Ji Chaoyang asked when he saw Xu Xin was silent for a long time.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Xu Xin replied.

"Haha, happy cooperation!" Ji Chaoyang clapped his hands with a smile. "When the time is right, I'll set up a group chat and add you in. By the way, can we have a video chat? I don't know what you look like yet, and some things are more suitable to be discussed face to face."

"Of course." Xu Xin was also very interested in Ji Chaoyang's appearance.

The two connected via video, and Xu Xin finally saw Ji Chaoyang's appearance. He was a very gentle young man with a delicate appearance and a neat hairstyle. He was wearing the same two-piece suit as Xu Xin. The difference between him and Xu Xin was that his clothes looked much cleaner and tidier than Xu Xin's, and he must have taken care of them specially.

"You're quite handsome." Ji Chaoyang was stunned when he saw Xu Xin's appearance. Maybe he didn't expect Xu Xin to be so good-looking.

"To be honest, I thought you were the strong guy at first." Xu Xin replied with a smile.

"Haha. We'll be partners from now on. Now let's talk about something that only the two of us know." Ji Chaoyang's expression became serious. "Xu Xin, what do you think about those monsters in the underground world?"

"We will definitely face them in the future. This is most likely the reason why we came to this world." Xu Xin expressed his own views. "Now even if we are on the ground, if we are not within the protection range of the tree house, we will be attacked by these underground creatures. They are omnipresent. Compared with wild beasts, they are our real enemies."

"I agree with this, but Xu Xin, have you ever thought that the monsters attacking us on the ground and those underground are really the same monsters?"

"What do you mean?" Xu Xin frowned.

"You should have also discovered that although the monsters that attacked us on the ground and those underground are of similar species, the difference in size is huge. The monsters in the underground world are obviously much larger."

"Yes, that's true." To be honest, Xu Xin felt that the crocodile was not small, but thinking of its special nature, he nodded and agreed with Ji Chaoyang's statement.

"Also, I observed for a long time at the edge of the cliff and found that the monsters underground did not seem to have the ability to fly thousands of meters to the ground."

Xu Xin frowned even more tightly: "You mean, the monsters that attacked us were not those monsters underground?"

Ji Chaoyang pondered for a moment and said, "The monsters that attacked us should also live underground, but they don't live in the underground world we see, but in the soil under our feet. We should separate these two kinds of monsters."

Xu Xin gradually sorted out his thoughts: "You mean, there are currently three types of monsters, wild beasts on the ground, medium-sized monsters in the soil, and large monsters underground?"

Although it is a medium-sized monster, it is still much larger than the wild beast. The Piranha Plant can be ten meters long.

"Yes, and in my opinion, these monsters in the soil beneath our feet seem to be smaller versions of the monsters in the underground world. They may have been artificially created and placed here."

Xu Xin narrowed his eyes, thought for a moment and said, "Is the purpose to let us get familiar with the monsters underground in advance?"

"That's right."

The two looked at each other and saw a hint of panic in each other's eyes.

I'm afraid they really are a bunch of guinea pigs.

Xu Xin suddenly thought of the skeleton underground.

They were not the first people to come to this world. There were others who had come before them.

Are those people the survivors, or the ones who control this world
