"I now declare, Lin Yue is the most badass survivor in this world."
"Heh, do you really need to declare if heās badass or not? Who do you think you are?"
"Canāt you guys stop hyping him up? The disaster warning came out last night, and youāre still talking about him instead of discussing something sensible?"
"He wouldnāt trade with you anyway. No matter how much you hype him up, he doesnāt care. Unlike me, weāre in the same group, and I truly adore Lin Yue giegie~"
"Defeating five hundred alone, no matter how much we praise this boss, itās no use; he wonāt trade with us. I heard he got some wine and whiskey? Lin Yue is too lucky! I only picked up some junk in the Secret Realm!"
"Speaking of which, I found out Levik is still alive? And only over a hundred died. Who wouldāve thought they would livestream that battle? Otherwise, we wouldnāt have seen such an epic scene, just like a blockbuster!"
"Sigh, I also want a dragon; where did Lin Yue find that? With that thing, I could sweep through thousands of troops!"
"+1, that thing looks so cool, itās like a Bugatti Veyron in the Otherworld!"
"Iām thinking, if we all attack Lin Yue together, could he still handle it?"
"Attack him together? Whoever takes over his shelter would be the next one to be attacked by all of us."
"Haha, youāre still hyping him up, but heās only looking out for himself. Heās a lone wolf type of survivor. Iām curious who can survive long enough to trade with Lin Yue!"
"Hey, gotcha! Look at this, just released, a strategy for dealing with the upcoming disaster! Guess who posted it? Lin Yue!"
"What the f***? Who just said he only cares about himself?"
"Hurry, show it to me to see if itās fake!"
"...Itās already posted, take a look. Iām going to prepare now; seems stones are the hard currency."
"What the f***? This... this strategy is badass! I know what to do now! Lin Yue is badass! Not for nothing is he ranked number one in the world! This is so detailed!"
"Seriously, this strategy is the real deal. I thought if it didnāt work out this time, Iād head to *** over there, but itās too crowded and dangerous. Iāll try Lin Yueās method first this time!"
"This strategy could be considered the essence version. Now, unless someone never opens the world chat panel, everyone should know what to do, right?"
...
Xing Lingfeng looked at the countless dialogues and messages on the world channel, nodding with satisfaction.
When he first received Lin Yueās strategy, he thought he must have read something wrong.
Lin Yue, almost the whole group, and even everyone who knew him, gave him a title.
Lone Wolf!
He was cautious, powerful, and mysterious, never uttering a word in groups or world channels. Yet in the trading market, he was a real hot topic.
Everyone wanted to trade with him for those extremely valuable and urgently needed foods, vegetables, fruits, and even wines, but the fortunate ones were always a minority.
And in all interactions with others, this person rarely said much, as if he had isolated himself from everyone else in the Otherworld.
In several disasters, he could always get through effortlessly, even topping the group and world rankings on his own, never relying on others or forming alliances.
Yet such a seemingly "indifferent" person had published such a strategy.
Moreover, he asked them to quickly repost it to the world channel if possible, as a free share.
After seeing the strategy Lin Yue posted, Xing Lingfeng was quickly impressed by his expertise and the correct understanding of the disaster.
He couldnāt help but wonder what Lin Yue did before that gave him such detailed knowledge in this area. And why did he want all the survivors worldwide to know how to get through this disaster?
What happened to Lin Yueās established character? Why did he change?
Could it be because of us?
Xing Lingfeng once thought this for a moment, but quickly dismissed it.
Lin Yue is no fool; he surely guessed another reason why they could guard his shelter.
The principle of interdependence, this cautious and extremely intelligent young man couldnāt have overlooked it.
Moreover, Lin Yue had already given them extremely valuable wine and watermelon as thanks. He certainly wouldnāt tell them how to survive the disaster just for that.
Maybe, Lin Yue thought of something, and thatās why he wanted the total number of humans not to drop to a certain level?
"Boss! What are you thinking about so intently? Liu Kai and the others are splitting from us," You Siyuan reminded their leader, who had been deep in thought since the return trip from Lin Yueās shelter.
Moreover, not only him, but Liu Kai and Fei Yue and the others also wore the same expressions.
As if their souls had been drawn out.
"Ah, I know." Xing Lingfeng walked up to Liu Kai and shook his hand.
This time, he, Liu Kai, and over a dozen people from the refugee village gathered together with a common goal, journeying to Lin Yueās shelter and not coming back empty-handed.
Not only did they receive Lin Yueās gratitude and trust, but they also gained a rare opportunity to improve relations with other refugee villages in this Otherworld.
"Lin Yueās strategy..." Liu Kai was full of surprise and excitement, looking at Xing Lingfeng, seeing the same expression on his face.
"Yeah, just like I said, he might really be that person, donāt you think, Old Liu?" Xing Lingfeng smiled.
Liu Kai chuckled, nodding: "If this kid can really pull it off, Iād gladly be a loyal follower without a second thought. But, itās a good start, donāt you think, Fei Yue?"
Fei Yue scratched his head: "Our third master also said Lin Yue was indeed unexpected, especially since he just refused our invitation."
"Whoa, youāre still thinking about that? How about merging your refugee village with ours, and we rotate as the head?" Liu Kai laughed.
Fei Yue said nothing, just gave a wry smile.
After Xing Lingfeng greeted everyone from Liu Kaiās refugee village, they sent them off together with others.
This long journey still required them to travel a day to reach their own shelter.
But this trip was not in vain.
"Brother Xing, if your shelter ever needs anything, look for us; we are nearby," Fei Yue finally spoke.
"Yeah, plenty of opportunities, letās form an alliance, support each other when needed, strong ties with no weaknesses," Xing Lingfeng nodded.
Fei Yue said no more.
Even though Lin Yue rejected them last time, it now seemed he didnāt totally disregard others.
Perhaps next time, Lin Yue would agree?
Fei Yue thought of Lin Yueās huge shelter and suddenly had a new idea.
Shouldnāt their refugee village also adopt such a structure? Besides, he and the third master had been discussing taming mutant creatures, and he felt this was a good chance to make the decision.
In ancient times, humans tamed wild beasts; in this Otherworld, humans could tame mutant creatures too.
If not for Lin Yue, who would have thought of these ideas?
"The road is long and arduous," Xing Lingfeng suddenly quoted.
Fei Yue nodded: "I will explore it relentlessly."
