Chapter 516: Only 205 Remain
The eliminated players were overjoyed. With Xu Yi’s answer in their hands, they could finally access the supplies.
They had already chosen what they wanted, but without Xu Yi’s consent, it was useless even if they took it.
Being with Li Kang and the others, those Star Charts would eventually be taken away.
After all, they were the eliminated, and the gap between them and the challengers was too great.
As Xu Yi said, they would rather become wild men on Spirit Blue Star than live comfortably here.
The ones who regretted the most were those who completely gave up early on.
They had been to Spirit Blue Star but hadn’t activated Telekinesis. Some of them might have the potential to awaken their Spiritual Power. They must be filled with regret.
After the eliminated players left, Xu Yi was invited to a certain place.
The food street, a real food street, gathered delicacies from all over the country, many of which Xu Yi had never seen before.
"These cooking methods have all been recorded into videos, all stored in this supercomputer," said the staff as they handed Xu Yi a tablet as thick as a brick.
Of course, this computer didn’t just contain these video files; it also had a lot of technical information, such as smelting, forging, making looms, etc., totaling 100 terabytes of information.
Had it not been for volume considerations, they would have provided Xu Yi with more resources.
"Very good, I won’t be coming back next trip, but I will have Lu Ke return. She has a 1.5 cubic meter Star Chart, and you can load a supercomputer to take over," Xu Yi remarked, thinking that the Star Gate likely wouldn’t allow humans to carry objects, only load them into the Star Chart.
"Thank you, thank you so much. We have already planned for this. With 1.5 cubic meters, we can build the supercomputer according to the volume," someone said, acknowledging the importance of having a supercomputer.
As for information, using a 1-cubic meter Star Chart to load storage devices should be sufficient to carry the knowledge of human civilization.
What they need to ensure now is that these materials do not face any mishaps, leading to errors or disappearance. Presently, there is already a dedicated project for this.
With Xu Yi’s statement, they could expand their research initiative, focusing more experts on the study.
Apparently, Xu Yi knew what humanity’s fate would be. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have proactively mentioned this.
Yet, neither side revealed as much.
After over two hours of dining, Xu Yi met some people.
Some were botanists, some zoologists, some physicists—there were all kinds of people.
Xu Yi was quite interested in chatting with them, so he didn’t resist at all.
By lunchtime, Xu Yi had lunch with a few prominent figures.
They only ate, without much conversation.
In the afternoon, Xu Yi went to the supermarket and started stocking up.
He had specifically reserved 1 cubic meter for snacks, being a foodie, and so was Lu Ke.
Having gone nearly two hundred days without snacks, he couldn’t resist bringing some back.
Besides this 1 cubic meter, Xu Yi reserved another two cubic meters to decide what else to bring back at the last moment.
After all, people can get dazzled by choices and sometimes need to think calmly.
After finishing shopping, Xu Yi left the supermarket and returned to the place where he chose items yesterday.
Things were placed all over, with staff specially assigned to introduce them.
After browsing around, Xu Yi selected some items, leaving 1 cubic meter, which he filled with rice.
After finalizing his choices, Xu Yi had nothing left to do. After securing the Star Charts, he started watching the live broadcast.
Time gradually passed until midnight.
After midnight, the live broadcast screen completely disappeared.
Clearly, Lu Ke and the others must have been transported to the transit station.
None of the people who had their Star Charts taken appeared in the elimination camp. This indicated that they indeed remained on Spirit Blue Star.
"Eliminated players, please make your choice. Continue the challenge, and you lose the opportunity to give up. Cross the Star Gate to continue challenging. Completely give up, and remove the Star Chart."
Such words echoed in Xu Yi’s mind.
So, Xu Yi walked through the decontamination corridor and crossed the Star Gate.
Li Kang and the others followed closely behind Xu Yi, and the remaining eliminated players all crossed the Star Gate too.
The elimination hall became completely silent.
However, a few kilometers away from this elimination venue, there was a base where numerous researchers were hard at work. They were preparing for what was needed on the 299th day.
Once Xu Yi and the others crossed the Star Gate, they were transported to a new location immediately.
There were only a hundred or so people present, and the place felt very empty.
Upon seeing Lu Ke and the others, Xu Yi quickly moved over.
"Very well, 205 humans will continue the challenge. In 10 minutes, you will enter a new challenge site. Good luck," Ling Qi’s voice sounded, though she didn’t appear.
"There are also clothes here, quite a few. Each person should be able to take two sets."
So Xu Yi and the others went to take some clothes.
Sure enough, each person got two sets.
After receiving their own Star Charts, everyone was waiting for the final moment to arrive.
What might the new place be like?
No one knew, but the answer would soon unfold.
"Xu Yi, what’s going on with them..." Lu Ke noticed that all the eliminated players were gathering around Xu Yi, and she became somewhat puzzled.
After all, Xu Yi had previously stated he wouldn’t accept eliminated players.
"Business partners. They want to trade their Star Charts with me, asking me to find them a camp with a water source and provide ten Fierce Beasts as mounts. Afterward, all of them will hand their Star Charts over to me," Xu Yi explained while taking out a big box of chewing gum, distributing a pack to everyone.
"Is that possible?" Wang Jin couldn’t believe that the eliminated players’ demands were so low.
But those were 55 pieces of Star Charts!
"Of course, we have gained the friendship of Boss Xu, which is the most precious thing," said an elated eliminated player, making it seem as if Xu Yi owed them a favor rather than the other way around.
These eliminated players understood clearly that if they joined other groups, their Star Charts would also be taken away. Therefore, they preferred gifting them to Xu Yi. At least by giving them to Xu Yi, they could get some benefits in return.
Other camps distanced themselves.
Especially Lei Jie and Li Kang, they stayed far from Jerry. After all, Li Kang had 101 Star Charts, Lei Jie had 180, and Jerry only had 8.
If Jerry seized the supplies, that wouldn’t be good.
If Xu Yi got involved, who could match him?
"Ten minutes are up, good luck,"
Number 6’s voice echoed in Xu Yi’s ears.
The new challenge point, here we come!
