Chapter 270 - 270 269 Isnt This More Interesting
?Chapter 270: Chapter 269: Isn’t This More Interesting? Chapter 270: Chapter 269: Isn’t This More Interesting? Actually, not only the teammates and audience but also the scientific research team in the laboratory was surprised by Luo Ning’s crafty maneuvers.
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table spoke, “This Luo Ning has a high IQ; he’s found an opportunity to exploit the system’s loopholes so quickly.”
Yi Lingfeng laughed, “In fact, it’s equivalent to exploiting our loopholes.”
After all, the rules they had set didn’t include anything about prohibiting the transfer or sale of total points.
Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Should we ban it? This way, their team could get rich just by selling clues.”
The middle-aged man chuckled softly, “Why ban it? Since we didn’t think to prohibit it beforehand, we have no choice but to accept it if people exploit the loophole.”
“Besides, doesn’t it make the game more interesting?”
Yi Lingfeng also said, “I think it makes things more engaging as well.”
Only Luo Ning would think in such a unique way; who else would consider doing such a trade and trying to contact the intelligent system?
The other members of the scientific research team agreed, but they would still need to patch up such loopholes in the future.
On the other hand, Luo Ning’s crafty maneuver opened a door to a new world for the other teammates.
Yue Xiao rubbed his hands together, excitedly asking, “So how do we set our prices?”
Luo Ning thought for a second and said, “Just one point.”
It might look like just one point per team, but the total amount adds up to no small number.
The key is that one point isn’t a lot for each team and won’t cause resentment.
Bo Xuan clearly thought the same, “One point is about right. I estimate that at least more than thirty teams will come to trade with us.”
The top-ranking strong teams all had one or two high-IQ commanders among them, and they were strong in combat, so obtaining clues wasn’t a problem for them.
They were targeting the weaker teams.
Jin Feiyang chuckled, “Even if it’s just thirty points, it still counts as a small fortune for us.”
Fan Ye glanced at Luo Ning while driving and said, “Luo Ning, how did you come up with this idea? It’s brilliant.”
Luo Ning smiled, “Mainly because you guys don’t like to use your brains.”
Fan Ye’s approval of Luo Ning was rapidly rising, so he asked, “What do we do next? Do we stake out the other teams near the central square?”
“I don’t think business that comes knocking is interesting; it’s better to let them come to us.”
Luo Ning paused before continuing, “I suggest we first find a place to settle down, then let out the news that we are selling clues.”
“Those who really can’t find any clues will come to us on their own.”
Without having tried, the weaker teams would not give up on buying clues.
They would rather do other things than waste time staking out.
Bo Xuan said, “I agree.”
He wasn’t jealous that Luo Ning was quicker to react than himself; he was glad to be on her team.
This increased their chances of ranking at the front.
In the beginning, they had all planned to compete with just the four of them.
Who knew Luo Ning would keep bringing them surprises?
Naturally, Fan Ye and the others wouldn’t oppose, “You decide on the spot, and I’ll drive there.”
Luo Ning thought for a moment, then turned to Bo Xuan, “Why don’t we also go find the military, help them search for survivors in the city, and earn Good Person Value?”
“We might also be able to use their broadcast to get the word out that we have complete clues.”
Any competing team with sense would be constantly tuning in to the city’s broadcasts; this suited their needs perfectly.
Bo Xuan laughed, “That’s a great idea. While others are still trying to get clues, we will already be earning Good Person Value.”
Yue Xiao exclaimed, “Actually, we’ve already earned some. Luo Ning kept telling us to save people when we came out of the supermarket; now that I think about it, that was so foresighted.”
Fan Ye added, “Right, if nothing goes wrong, our Good Person Value should be ahead of the other teams now.”
[According to the live streaming site’s data analysis, their team indeed ranks first in terms of Good Person Value right now.]
[This is thanks to Luo Ning’s foresight; sometimes, you can’t underestimate the blessings a good deed can bring.]
[No wonder Star Emperor Entertainment insisted so strongly on everyone monitoring and reporting; it seems Luo Ning really was selected based on her own abilities.]
[Right, if she can’t be selected, then who can?]
[Those who were clamoring that Luo Ning got in through the backdoor and would hold the team back, urging her to quit, aren’t jumping out now, are they?]
[Their faces are swollen; they have no bounce left.]
[I’ve never been a fan of celebrities before, but I’ve decided to start following Brother Ning from today; I’m sold by their intelligence.]
[I’m also going to follow Brother Ning.]
Since the competition was about honor, aside from trolls and the water army, other people all hoped for Luo Ning’s team to win.
So the change in attitude was swift; Luo Ning gained another wave of fans.
The car had a radio, which Luo Ning turned on.
As expected, the military was broadcasting messages, telling the living within the city to head to the largest military district’s former location, where a survivor base would be established.
At the same time, they had set up ten designated rescue spots throughout the city; the military would dispatch search and rescue teams for survivors.
If the living were close to these designated spots, they could also make their way there.
In addition, the military was also putting out calls to enlist capable individuals to participate in the rescue missions—material compensation would be provided as a reward.
There was truly too much for the military to handle: establishing a survivor base, rescuing survivors, collecting supplies, and more.
Hearing this message, everyone was relieved; Luo Ning’s suggestion was feasible after all.
Luo Ning jotted down the locations mentioned on the broadcast and pulled out a map to circle them with a pen.
She then traced a route and said to Fan Ye, “This spot is closest to us; let’s drive there.”
Fan Ye stopped the car to carefully check the route Luo Ning had marked, memorizing it.
On the way, they once again encountered numerous zombies and obstructive vehicles.
The team had to get out to clear the area and move the deserted cars off the road.
Jin Feiyang found a piece of cloth to wipe the zombie blood off his machete, “Using a knife is too much hassle; we really need to find some guns.”
Yue Xiao, holding a toothpick he found somewhere, said, “Let’s see if we can get some support from the military, give us guns or something; I’m completely fed up with this kitchen knife.”
Using a kitchen knife was not only a waste of time but also dangerous, nowhere near as satisfying or quick as blowing a zombie’s head off with a gun.
Luo Ning saw their enthusiasm but still couldn’t help throwing cold water, “I guess they’re probably short on munitions too, so don’t get your hopes up for now.”
“Later on, though, we could see if we can apply to join them in collecting resources from the armory, using weapons as a reward.”
The setting of the city was similar to that within the country; civilians weren’t allowed to privately own or trade firearms, so finding guns outside was unlikely.
Only then did Yue Xiao and the others calm down as well, “That makes sense; you always think things through.”
