Chapter 89: First Phase Plan
Chapter 89: First Phase Plan
Xu Yan decided to stay and resist the beast tide.
---
The three little ones did not hesitate.
All of them chose to advance and retreat together with Xu Yan.
---
Just when Xu Yan was feeling emotional about this scene…
---
Wu Dayong's team, Pang Fei's team, and Lu Meng's team,
who didn't know when they had appeared,
all stood beside Xu Yan.
---
"Level 30 disaster beasts… This challenge is no small matter.
I'm already starting to get excited!"
---
"Xu Yan, just like before!
You take command, and we'll hit wherever you point us!"
---
"Level 30 Disaster Beast Cores!
If we collect them, we might just become nouveau riche!"
---
Xu Yan Was Stunned
"You guys are staying too?"
---
"Of course!"
---
"If you're not leaving, why should we leave?"
---
"Xu Yan, what's your next plan?
Tell us in advance!"
---
Loyalty Beyond Words
Xu Yan looked at the three teams and didn't know what to say.
---
He never expected that these guys would be willing to stay and follow him into battle
after only spending a week together.
---
What Xu Yan Didn't Know…
The three teams still felt unsatisfied with their previous cooperation.
---
After spending time together,
they had become absolutely sure that Xu Yan was someone who:
✔ Cherished his life.
✔ Paid great attention to interests.
✔ Was smart, calm, and reliable.
---
They didn't believe that Xu Yan would suddenly go mad and seek death.
---
They knew he must have already made a careful plan
to make a huge profit from the second phase of the beast tide
while ensuring their safety.
---
Otherwise, Xu Yan would never have chosen to stay and take the risk.
---
Absolute Confidence in Xu Yan
They also knew Xu Yan's true strength.
---
✔ With Xu Yan's special fruit…
He was immune to poison attacks.
He was immune to curses.
He could even reverse heal himself!
---
✔ Against high-level poisonous disaster beasts?
He was INVINCIBLE!
---
✔ Against the infamous half-human wizards?
They would probably have to call Xu Yan 'Daddy!'
---
If Xu Yan had chosen to leave Baitan City…
They would have immediately gotten on the train and left without hesitation.
---
But now…
Since Xu Yan had chosen to stay,
they knew there was only one absolute safe zone in Baitan City.
---
✔ That safe zone was wherever Xu Yan was!
---
Their Choice Was Clear.
✔ They would follow Xu Yan—no matter what!
---
A Blessing for Xu Yan
For Xu Yan, the three teams staying was definitely a good thing.
---
✔ They had been cooperating for a week.
✔ They had already built a strong understanding.
✔ They were the most outstanding recruits.
---
Their captains,
✔ Wu Dayong
✔ Pang Fei
✔ Lu Meng
were the elites among elites.
---
Even better…
✔ They were willing to follow Xu Yan's orders without question.
---
There was no doubt that their decision to stay
would have a significant impact on the execution of Xu Yan's plans.
---
At least, for the first phase of the plan—
the stage of quickly reaching Level 20—
their role was critical.
---
Xu Yan Lays Out the First Phase Plan
"Our plan is basically the same as before!"
---
✔ Wherever there are more poisonous beasts, we will attack there!
✔ Wherever there are half-human wizards, we will attack there!
✔ We will farm both Disaster Beast Cores and military merits!"
---
"BUT…"
---
"The biggest difference now…
is that our team's average level is only 15."
---
"We may soon be facing Level 30 disaster beasts and half-human wizards."
---
✔ "Due to level suppression, my absolute control doesn't work on enemies above Level 25."
✔ "Although we have the Tree World Fruit… and can still be invincible against poison and curses…"
✔ "Losing absolute control will introduce uncertain variables."
---
"So, while we make money…
✔ We must prioritize leveling up!
✔ We must get to Level 20 as soon as possible!"
---
"That way, my control range can cover enemies up to Level 30!"
---
Leveling Strategy
"Because of experience reduction from level difference…
✔ Wang Ke will be prioritized for finishing off enemies."
✔ She will handle high-value, low-health, low-defense enemies alone."
---
✔ "At first, our leveling speed may slow down."
✔ "But once I reach Level 20…
✔ "We will be unstoppable!"
---
✔ "As long as the second and third lines of defense hold…"
✔ "We will be invincible in the third line of defense!"
---
The Teams' Response
✔ "Makes sense!"
✔ "No problem!"
✔ "Let's do it!"
---
Hiding the Final Plan
Xu Yan did not reveal the real final plan.
---
It was too shocking to say out loud
that he planned to destroy the beast tide by himself.
---
✔ If he didn't mention the system, it would be impossible to explain.
---
Thus, he only shared the first phase of the plan
with half-truths and half-lies.
---
Still,
everyone agreed with Xu Yan's plan.
---
✔ For now, they would take it slow.
✔ They would level up while making money.
✔ And when Xu Yan hit Level 20…
✔ They would strike like lightning!
---
The Recruit Assessment Ends
✔ The 50 recruit districts were taken over by veterans.
✔ Recruits left if they wanted.
✔ Those who chose to stay, stayed.
---
At Baitan City Railway Station…
✔ Crowds rushed to escape before the second wave of beasts hit.
---
Meanwhile, in Camp 50…
✔ Instructors gathered.
✔ All recruits who volunteered to stay had assembled.
---
The Instructors Were Stunned.
✔ District 36 alone had over 400 recruits staying behind!
✔ 40% of its original force remained!
---
✔ Meanwhile, other districts barely had three or five teams.
✔ Some districts had none.
---
✔ Seeing the number of volunteers from District 36…
✔ Everyone was shocked.
---
"How Did You Do It?"
✔ "Instructor Yang, how did you get so many recruits to stay?"
✔ "I didn't do anything."
---
✔ "What do you mean?"
---
✔ "It wasn't me."
✔ "It was a young farmer from Dayan City."
✔ "It was his words that inspired them."
---
✔ "A farmer?"
---
✔ "Yes.
✔ And now, thanks to him…
✔ We have an army!"
