At this moment, he turned his attention to the [Novice Village Chat Channel].
Fewer and fewer messages were being posted, as everyone was nearing the completion of their team formations. Qin Feng looked up at the sky; the day was gradually darkening, and three hours had already passed.
The scene was divided into four teams, with everyone communicating with each other.
Now, only a few individuals who hadn't found a team were still calling out.
"F-class skill, 'Shout,' voice amplified fivefold, combat power 3, requesting to team up."
"F-class weapon, 'Electric Baton,' capable of emitting 1000 volts of high-pressure electricity, combat power 3, requesting to team up."
"..."
These few individuals had all drawn trash skills and weapons from their novice gift packs. Their combat power had not been significantly enhanced; they were pitiful combat power 3, like dregs, so no one was willing to team up with them.
Qin Feng glanced at his own combat power and found it to be a mere 1!
He scratched his head, a wry smile on his face. Despite possessing an SSS-class talent, it couldn't be directly converted into combat power, leading to such a pathetic state!
His current combat power was truly abysmal. If he were to broadcast his stats, no one would be willing to team up with him. However, if he didn't, then when everyone charged out of the novice village according to the queue, he would be left behind as a lone individual without teammates.
After much deliberation, he decided to modify his information.
"F-class skill, 'Summoning,' currently unable to summon anything, current combat power is 1, but... it can be improved in the future, with unlimited potential, requesting to team up."
!!!
Upon seeing this message, not only did the other strong teams scoff, but even the remaining F-class individuals without teams looked down on Qin Feng. Their combat power had reached 3, while Qin Feng's was still 1. This person at the lowest end of combat power was utterly useless. As for "unlimited potential," everyone dismissed it as mere advertising, taking it seriously.
Not long after, the leader of the group stepped forward. He looked at the remaining few who hadn't found teams and said to the person who possessed the D-class skill, "Why not let these few join your team? Your team already has nearly 500 members. I believe even if these few are useless, with your team's strength, protecting them will be effortless."
Hearing this, a tall individual stepped forward. He snorted and said, "My team, led by Chu He, does not accept useless individuals. Although I possess the D-class skill 'Gun Fu' and my combat power has reached 10, none of my teammates are useless. If some dead weight were to join our team and share our spoils, I believe it would be extremely unfair to the other members. Don't you all agree?"
"That's right! Our team doesn't want weaklings!"
After this statement, the leader felt greatly embarrassed, but he had no choice. After all, on this planet, everyone was on their own. Strength was paramount. He possessed an E-class skill and his combat power had only just reached 5, making him unable to command respect. Therefore, he had no recourse when the other party refused his request.
After thinking it over, he looked at his team members and said, "Why don't we let them join our team?"
As soon as he said this, a team member immediately objected, "Why should we take in useless people? Brother Chu He is right. If there are people in the team who are completely useless and share our rewards, it's very unfair to others."
"That's right, I disagree too!"
"Our team also does not want useless people!"
"Ours neither!"
The leaders of the other teams also objected, leaving the initial leader feeling helpless. He then spread his hands and said, "Since that's the case, I have no other options. However, since we agreed earlier that all 1000 of us would charge out together, we naturally cannot leave anyone behind. How about you few who don't have teams form your own group and then follow behind our other teams? This way, although you won't be able to kill monsters first, you'll still be safe. What do you say?"
There were five people left who hadn't formed teams, and Qin Feng was among them. The other four looked at each other and said, "We accept your proposal, but the four of us will team up. As for this guy with combat power 1, let him form his own team. After all, with such low combat power, he's useless. Why should we include him!"
"Agreed! The four of us will team up. After we leave the novice village, if the monsters aren't too powerful, I believe we'll have a chance to earn gold coins and become stronger and stronger. Don't you agree?"
"That's right!"
The four encouraged each other, completely ignoring Qin Feng.
He wasn't particularly surprised at being abandoned by everyone. After all, his combat power was too low. On this planet of the survival of the fittest, being abandoned was only natural.
Only he knew his own strength.
Therefore, he wore a mysterious smile and said, "I accept this proposal!"
Hearing this, the leader nodded and said, "Alright, then tomorrow at dawn, we will all charge out of the novice village together. Those with the strongest defense will be at the front, ranged attackers in the back, and each team will charge out in sequence."
After making the arrangements, everyone began to rest.
Qin Feng, however, was immersed in his own [Red Alert Domain]. The 3000 gold coins he obtained from opening the treasure chest were to be used to build a power plant, which would then allow him to build a mining facility.
It wasn't time to shop in the [Store] yet, as the power plant required 800 gold coins, and the mining facility required 2000 gold coins. With the mining facility, he would have a steady income of money.
With this thought, he clicked to manufacture the power plant, and the countdown began.
After about 10 minutes, the countdown had only progressed slightly.
The construction speed was as slow as a snail, equivalent to about one percent in the Red Alert game.
He then felt relieved.
After all, when he controlled the tanks to attack the bridge, it was also very slow.
He estimated that it would take about one night to complete the construction of the power plant and mining facility, so he directly withdrew from the domain, set his watch alarm, and went to sleep.
The next day, as soon as dawn broke, everyone became busy.
As per the prior agreement, the robust Chu He led his team to charge out first. The others followed closely, and one by one, they exited the novice village. Qin Feng was the last.
After stepping through the white light, the environment before him suddenly became vast and open. On the empty ground, countless figures appeared. When these figures saw the newcomers, they bared their teeth and charged forward.
"It's zombies!"
"They're the zombies from Resident Evil!"
Seeing these charging zombies, the teammate with千里眼 (clairvoyance) warned everyone.
Everyone's expression became solemn!
