Free Web NovelChapter 601: Chapter 601: Jerry’s Choice
After breakfast, the sky had brightened.
Xu Yi still hadn’t made a move, instead practicing the Body Refining Technique.
Lu Ke started training as well, and soon half an hour had passed.
After the sky completely brightened, Xu Yi finally stopped his training.
"Watch here and be careful," Xu Yi said to Lu Ke, then went straight up.
Because it was necessary for Lu Ke to experience the level 6 combat situation, Xu Yi didn’t plan to use Martial Techniques but fought with his Spiritual Power.
So, this battle was extremely long.
At the same time, Xu Yi intended to exhaust the level 6 Fierce Beast’s Telekinesis and attempt to tame it.
If successful, Xu Yi could start earning from the Star Chart again.
Exchanging 5 Star Charts for a level 6 Fierce Beast, this price was quite tempting for Xu Yi.
After all, not only are Star Charts useful now, but they will be even more useful after 500 days.
Because the Star Gate generally only allows biological forms through, and if it’s other materials, more energy is required.
The Storage Star Chart was initially researched by advanced civilizations to carry more materials through the Star Gate.
It can be said that civilizations mastering the Storage Star Chart technology certainly possess Star Gate civilizations.
Moreover, since there’s no need to change to new challenge locations now, they’re more willing to trade Star Charts.
Without Star Charts, they can still carry materials in human or beast-borne forms.
Furthermore, here, they don’t need to worry about food and water sources, significantly reducing their reliance on Star Charts.
Also, one cannot abandon or be transmitted away.
If faced with an insurmountable situation, there’s a high probability of death.
So, even if they broke through to the pinnacle of level 5, they wouldn’t dare to enter the territory of a level 6 Fierce Beast.
Because they don’t know if they can handle a level 6 Fierce Beast.
If not, there would be no chance to escape.
However, with a level 6 Fierce Beast, the situation is different.
With the protection of several level 6 Fierce Beasts, they could enter the level 6 Fierce Beast territory to start training.
Thus, they would rather spend a high price to purchase a level 6 Fierce Beast.
Lei Jie felt that Xu Yi should be very aware of this, and the price of level 6 Fierce Beast mounts might skyrocket. Instead of offering himself to be slaughtered by Xu Yi, he might as well give a price first.
Who knows, Xu Yi might just accept.
The thing is, Lei Jie didn’t know that Xu Yi had no intention of slaughtering them.
But if Lei Jie offered a price, Xu Yi certainly wouldn’t proactively lower it. He isn’t foolish; how could he refuse the benefits delivered to his door?
In this situation, taming a level 6 Fierce Beast becomes crucial.
According to Xu Yi’s estimation, Lei Jie could likely accept 5 Fierce Beasts.
Li Kang should be able to handle 3-4, but more than that might be beyond Li Kang’s capacity. Regardless, one team member should maintain 2 Star Charts, shouldn’t they?
Currently, they haven’t reached the final throes. Therefore, they don’t wish to invest all their resources.
As for Jerry?
He might buy one, can’t afford more. You know, each of his people only has one Star Chart; buying one requires some of them to yield their own Star Chart.
To put it another way, as long as Lei Jie and Li Kang’s people enter the level 6 Fierce Beast territory, Jerry would sell everything to purchase a level 6 Fierce Beast for the chance to enter their territory.
Otherwise, they would remain outside, drifting further from Li Kang’s group.
Of course, Jerry has another option: choosing allegiance to one of them.
Xu Yi was absolutely right in guessing; Jerry made a choice.
He walked alone to Lei Jie’s camp.
The people in the three camps all knew that Lei Jie had broken through to the pinnacle of level 5 and had approached Xu Yi wanting to use 5 Star Charts to buy a level 6 Fierce Beast. Unfortunately, Xu Yi himself hadn’t tamed one.
After so many days, Jerry had thought a lot.
"Lei Jie, I’m Jerry, need to chat," Jerry called toward the level 6 Fierce Beast territory because he knew Lei Jie was in the mist, not far away.
After a minute, Lei Jie appeared before Jerry.
In fact, he could’ve appeared within 15 seconds but delayed a bit.
"Jerry, if you’re still thinking about those so-called transactions, then don’t waste my training time."
Previously, Jerry actually approached Lei Jie multiple times, claiming to offer assets worth hundreds of billions to buy Star Charts. Rejected, he then offered several other chips.
All were flatly refused by Lei Jie.
Lei Jie wasn’t foolish, and he wasn’t planning to return to the human world.
Anything from there held no value to Lei Jie.
And 50 Star Charts were holders of 25 cubic units of Storage Space, the only currency available for trade with Xu Yi. How could Lei Jie use Star Charts to exchange for Jerry’s utterly worthless promises?
"It’s not about a transaction; we want to pledge allegiance and become one of you," Jerry stated outright, knowing Lei Jie wanted to annex his people, as did Li Kang.
But Li Kang was more calculating than Lei Jie, which is why he ultimately chose Lei Jie.
"Hehe, you just want to leverage my power to enter the level 6 Fierce Beast territory. Allegiance is fine, but you won’t get any position or command. If you accept, you can be my subordinate." After speaking, Lei Jie awaited Jerry’s response.
"I also have one condition: none of you can touch Lavinie," Jerry knew well Lei Jie would impose such restrictions, but he deemed personal strength more critical.
If unable to train in the level 6 Fierce Beast territory, they would remain stuck at level 5. Even if they eventually reach the pinnacle of level 5, would they dare enter level 6 Fierce Beast territory?
Want to trade with Xu Yi’s team then?
Pray that Xu Yi’s team hasn’t moved elsewhere.
For now, Xu Yi’s team still has Qin Chao, and Xu Yi’s three mounts, so they won’t run too far, instead opting for trade opportunities.
Once the distance increases, Xu Yi wouldn’t bring Fierce Beasts for trade for mere Star Charts.
In such moments, his subordinate would surely seek allegiance to Xu Yi’s crew, entering Base Alpha, thereby obtaining massive benefits in 500 days.
Now that Jerry sides with Lei Jie, he finds the opportunity to enter the level 6 Fierce Beast territory to quickly increase his strength.
On this planet, possessing strength equals possessing everything: wealth, women, power—all claimable through strength, unequivocally.
As for Lavinie’s condition, Jerry must pursue it.
Xu Yi’s team contains not only Xu Yi.
Lavinie might not influence Xu Yi but could do so with Zhou Mo, Qin Chao, right?
Only by connecting with Xu Yi’s group can one truly share the fruits of victory.
Not just Jerry but also Lei Jie and Li Kang understand, hopes for completing challenges rest with Xu Yi’s team.
Only by becoming one of Xu Yi’s people can one qualify to share the ultimate results.
Lavinie is Jerry’s sole chance, knowing he has no more chances. His image within Xu Yi’s team is profoundly poor and irredeemable.
