Chapter 346 Frequent Equipment
"Now that the teams have been divided, everyone's belongings will be restricted. So, as you line up for testing, any extra items you're not allowed to bring must be left behind." After Ren Sheng finished speaking, many people looked disappointed. They had originally brought a lot of things, intending to use them during the assessment, but they didn't expect that all of them would be restricted.
Su Siyi's heart tightened, and she immediately asked the system in her mind: "System, my space, can this be checked?"
"No, master, even with your space button, they can't know what's inside. You can use the space button here to check it!" the system replied.
Su Siyi heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She decided to follow the system's advice and use the space button here to pack some things that could be brought in.
"Brother Nangong, I want to tell you something." Su Siyi whispered in Nangong Jingming's ear.
"Okay, I understand. I'll give everyone a space button here and ask them to put some things they can bring in." Nangong Jingming said.
Then, each of his own people was quietly given a space button on this interstellar space. As for the people Chen Zeyu brought with him, they must have space buttons, so he naturally didn't have to worry.
Soon, everyone passed the inspection and began to prepare to go into the forest to hunt.
"Captain, which way are we going?" Chen Zeyu asked anxiously as he watched them stop at the intersection.
"Don't worry, wait a little longer!" Nangong Jingming said. He watched as many people quickened their pace and rushed into the forest, pondering in his heart. He thought that before entering the forest, he should first observe the surrounding situation and find a suitable entrance. This would better deal with the Zerg and earn more points.
"Berlin, go and investigate what routes others are taking." Nangong Jingming ordered Feng Bolin to investigate.
"Yes, I'll investigate right away." Feng Bailin immediately turned around and walked towards the crowd.
"Xue Xin, see if you can find out anything!" Nangong Jingming said to Ye Xue Xin again.
"Okay, Captain." Ye Xuexin immediately walked out, intending to listen to the others' discussions. A hundred thousand people had just formed a team, and if he just stood there casually, no one would immediately know if he was a member. He just wanted to listen to the surrounding voices and understand everyone's thoughts.
"Captain, why don't we go into the forest right away? If we go in earlier, we can encounter the Zerg earlier." Chen Zeyu asked Nangong Jingming, who had no plans to go in right away, in confusion.
"Chen Zeyu, I am the captain now. I hope all you have to do now is to trust my decision. I will lead you out of this together." Nangong Jingming looked at Chen Zeyu, then at everyone else, and said in a very firm tone.
"I'm sorry, Captain. It's not that I don't believe you, it's just..." Chen Zeyu didn't know what to say. He was just a little anxious, hoping to get into the forest as soon as possible and get good results.
Nangong Jingming patted Chen Zeyu on the shoulder and said, "I understand your feelings. But we can't act blindly. We must be fully prepared to achieve good results in the assessment."
Chen Zeyu nodded and said, "Okay, Captain. I believe you."
Nangong Jingming carefully analyzed the information gathered by Feng Bolin and Ye Xuexin. On a digital 3D map, he used color-coded markers to clearly indicate which routes were densely populated with people and which were heavily populated with Zerg. After further research, he discovered that where Zerg were prevalent, people also tended to gather in large numbers. While hunting Zerg in such areas might seem like a promising opportunity, the reality is that with so many competitors competing for their chances, the actual returns for each team are far from optimal. Furthermore, crowded areas inevitably lead to more disputes and conflicts. For a novice team like theirs, new to interstellar assessments and still unfamiliar with the rules and environment, blindly following the main group and entering a crowded area would undoubtedly be a risky and unwise choice.
After careful consideration, Nangong Jingming's gaze slowly moved across the map, finally settling on a relatively remote route rarely explored. Based on currently known information, this route was believed to have a low Zerg population. "Let's take this route," Nangong Jingming said firmly, pointing to the route on the map.
"Captain, can I ask why this is happening? This route is known to be devoid of Zerg, so how can we possibly earn more points?" Chen Zeyu frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, then asked his question frankly. His eyes held a hint of confusion and bewilderment. After all, in an assessment primarily focused on hunting Zerg for points, choosing a route sparsely populated by Zerg seemed, on the surface, to contradict the objective.
"A little doesn't mean nothing. But if we go to a crowded place, are you sure we can out-compete so many people, and how much can we get from them?" Nangong Jingming looked at Chen Zeyu calmly, his tone calm but persuasive. His eyes revealed a clear understanding of the situation and a deep consideration of the team's interests.
Chen Zeyu was slightly startled. He lowered his head, carefully considering Nangong Jingming's words. Indeed, they weren't the first group to enter the forest. If they followed behind the main force, it would be nearly impossible to snatch the Zerg amidst the scramble. After all, with so many teams already pouring in, the Zerg would likely have been completely plundered long ago. How could there be any left for them? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but nod silently at Nangong Jingming's analysis.
"In fact, in this assessment, the distribution of Zerg in the announced areas is very clear, but half of the areas have not been announced and are unknown, and the path we are taking happens to be on the edge of the unannounced area. There may be dangers, but usually opportunities and dangers coexist." Nangong Jingming further elaborated on his considerations. His voice was unhurried, but it seemed to have a convincing power.
"Captain, you're absolutely right." Chen Zeyu carefully considered Nangong Jingming's words, feeling that his analysis was insightful. His admiration for Nangong Jingming deepened, gradually transforming from initial recognition to genuine trust.
"Let's go now," Nangong Jingming said decisively, seeing that everyone understood and accepted his decision. Now that the route had been determined, time was the most precious resource. They had to set out immediately to cover more distance within the limited timeframe and gain more opportunities for subsequent assessments.
