Chapter 68 – Creating a Group

After finishing the meal, Xiao Wuwang went to the Planting Carriage.

The Level 4 Planting Carriage had 13 planting slots.

One was planted with Nether Ghost Vine, whose purpose was still unknown, and another with cabbage.

Next, two slots were definitely reserved for the Gold-Veined Vermilion Fruit and the Blue Moon Vine.

The remaining nine planting spaces were allocated by Xiao Wuwang based on their levels: Level 3 Snow Spirit Flower, Level 3 Star Grass, Level 3 Turtle Shell Grass, Level 2 Crimson Blood Vine, Level 2 Golden Mango, Level 2 Cold Moon Fruit, Level 2 Phoenix Feather Flower, Level 2 Blazing Sun Flower, and Level 2 Water-Rhyme Algae.

These were all rare plants collected from the previous Platform World. Some could be used as medicine, such as Snow Spirit Flower, Star Grass, and Crimson Blood Vine.

Some could be consumed as vegetables, such as the petals of Phoenix Feather Flower, the stems and leaves of Blazing Sun Flower, and the entirety of Water-Rhyme Algae.

Some could be eaten as fruits, such as Golden Mango and Cold Moon Fruit.

The remaining Turtle Shell Grass was an extremely special defensive plant. Its leaves were thick as armor, with a natural keratin layer on the surface, making them not only incredibly tough but also capable of reducing Spiritual Power attacks to some extent. It could be used to reinforce defenses or crafted into simple Shields. After harvesting, it could be directly installed in the train’s Expansion Slots to enhance the train’s defensive capabilities.

Even for Xiao Wuwang, who was already Level 4, the Level 3 Turtle Shell Grass was still quite useful. Even if his level increased later, he could sell it. Just because he didn’t need it didn’t mean others wouldn’t. Without waiting for the Novice Protection Period to end, players would face monster sieges starting tomorrow, making the train’s defensive capabilities crucial.

The Turtle Shell Grass would surely become a hot commodity in the future. Once he had more seeds, he would need to plant more.

After arranging the planting spaces, Xiao Wuwang’s Fatigue Points had fully recovered. He went to the Storage Carriage and upgraded it to Level 4.

After upgrading the Storage Carriage to Level 4, the number of storage cells increased to 100. His Fatigue Points instantly dropped to 28, forcing him to return to the Living Carriage to recover.

With some leisure time, he opened the Chat Channel to pass the time.

It was now the sixth day since entering the Survival World, and the number of group members had dropped to 6,955.

Over the past few days, more than 3,000 people had died!

Among the survivors, nearly a thousand were still Level 1.

Xiao Wuwang knew that if these nearly thousand Level 1 players couldn’t upgrade their trains to Level 2 before tomorrow’s first Instance Event, they would have almost no chance of survival. Even among Level 2 players, many would likely fall during the Instance Event.

Only Level 3 players would be relatively safe. As for Xiao Wuwang, who was already Level 4, he had no worries at all. He was simply waiting for the Instance Event to end so he could claim the richest rewards.

Xiao Wuwang then opened his friend list.

He currently had only seven people on his friend list.

Among these seven, only Death Gun God and Yun Feifei had reached Level 3, while the remaining five were still Level 2.

Xiao Wuwang sent a unified message to all of them.

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Tomorrow marks the last day of the Novice Protection Period and the first Instance Event. It’s best to upgrade your trains to Level 3, or you’ll face significant danger. If you can’t reach Level 3, find ways to improve your train’s speed, defense, and attack capabilities. If possible, stock up on an Acceleration Card.]

As soon as the message was sent, all five replied to him one after another.

Duan Zhengchun: [Thank you, Big Brother Wuwang. I’ve collected all the other resources, I’m just short of 5 Train Upgrade Shards. But now the Train Upgrade Shards have gone up in price again—so expensive!]

Steel Straight Man: [Haha! Thanks for the reminder, Big Shot Wuwang! I’m already pushing for Level 3. I should be able to gather all the upgrade resources today and definitely get it done tonight!]

Meichuan Kuzi: [Hehe! Is this the benefit of being on a Big Shot’s friends list? Thanks for the reminder, Big Shot! But I might not be able to upgrade—I’m still quite short on resources, especially Train Upgrade Shards. Everyone’s raising prices to buy them.]

The replies from Si Shui Liu Nian and Wangzai Little Brat were similar to theirs, basically all stuck on the Train Upgrade Shards.

Just as Xiao Wuwang was considering whether to trade them some Train Upgrade Shards, he received a message from another friend.

Death Gun God: [Big Shot Wuwang, do you have the Appraisal Technique? Can you help me see what this card is? Image.jpg]

Xiao Wuwang took a look and his expression turned serious. It was a Primary Group Chat Card.

Once activated, it could independently open a Primary Group Chat with a maximum of 20 members.

Whoever activated it would be the group owner, and the owner had absolute authority over the group.

Although he recognized the card’s origin, he didn’t directly tell Death Gun God.

Wuwang Kuangzun: [You need to send it over; I can only appraise it once I have the physical item. If you trust me, mail it over.]

Death Gun God: [Sent!]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Aren’t you afraid I’ll steal your card?]

Death Gun God: [Haha, you’re joking, Big Shot Wuwang. With your strength and reputation, you’d never do something like that. I trust my judgment. If you take a liking to it, I believe you’ll definitely give me a satisfactory offer.]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Then wait a moment.]

Xiao Wuwang took the Group Chat Card from the mail attachment, triggered his Talent, appraised it, took a screenshot of the panel, and sent it to Death Gun God.

Wuwang Kuangzun: [As you can see, this is a Primary Group Chat Card. It’s actually somewhat useful to me. I’m willing to buy it for 10 Infinite Coins. What do you think?]

Death Gun God: [Haha! Big Shot, are you planning to create a group? I don’t want your money. I just hope you’ll save me a spot in the group.]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [I’ll save you a spot, but you still have to take the money. Principles can’t be broken.]

Death Gun God: [Alright then! Thanks, Big Shot.]

Xiao Wuwang directly sent 10 Infinite Coins via mail.

Then, he immediately activated the Group Chat Card.

Soon, a group with the Nickname “Destination Assembly Camp” appeared in Xiao Wuwang’s chat interface.

Afterward, he sent group invitations to everyone on his friends list.

The sound of “thump thump” kept ringing as the number of Group Members in the Destination Assembly Camp rapidly increased.

In the end, including Xiao Wuwang, the number of Group Members settled at 8. All his friends had joined.

Yun Feifei: [@Wuwang Kuangzun, did you suddenly create this group because you have some big plans?]

Meichuan Kuzi: [Hehe! Does this mean I’ve completely latched onto a Big Shot’s coattails? From now on, I’ll be feasting and living large with the Big Shot!]

Duan Zhengchun: [I’m very happy to become a Group Member. Hello, everyone, Big Brothers and Big Sisters!]

Si Shui Liu Nian: [I’m also very happy to meet everyone!]

Death Gun God: [The group name the Big Shot chose shows no small ambition!]

Steel Straight Man: [Haha, from now on we’re in the same Camp! If you need anything, just let me know!]

Wangzai Little Brat: [I’m shocked. A weakling like me actually caught the attention of Big Shot Wuwang and got to join this group. I hope all the Big Shots here will look out for me.]

Wuwang Kuangzun: [Let me say a few words.]

As soon as Xiao Wuwang spoke, the group immediately fell silent.
