Chapter 382: Team Disagreement
The latter half of the night was relatively quiet, at least no whistle sounded.
After finishing a night of training, Xu Yi opened his eyes.
"System, check-in."
The first thing, naturally, is to check-in.
Today marks his 127th day of checking-in.
There’s still some time before the new gift pack.
After walking out of the tent, Lu Ke handed him a tube of toothpaste and a toothbrush.
This toothpaste was from Xu Yi’s Star Chart Space, five tubes in total and ten toothbrushes.
She couldn’t bear to give it to others; these 5 tubes of toothpaste and 10 toothbrushes she planned to use with Xu Yi until the 500-day period ended.
Xu Yi took out two ceramic cups made by Lu Ke, leaving her surprised.
"You even brought cups?" Lu Ke felt that Xu Yi was like a real-life Doraemon with a magical pouch that contained everything.
"Yes, I brought quite a number of supplies," Xu Yi said with a smile.
In the spaceship, Number 6 glanced at Ling Qi, then said, "Steward, there seems to be something wrong with Xu Yi’s Star Chart. He stored so much food; shouldn’t he be unable to bring so many supplies?"
"Indeed, did we check these Star Charts’ spaces when we distributed them?" Ling Qi also felt that Xu Yi’s Star Chart Space significantly exceeded 0.5 cubic meters.
"No, this batch was temporarily sent from the main warehouse; we didn’t check them. It seems the main warehouse didn’t inspect them either," Number 6 replied truthfully.
"So, it’s possible he has a Spirit Level one. Never mind, let’s just consider him lucky. No need to report this." Ling Qi felt it wasn’t necessary to delve into such a minor issue. The person in charge of the main warehouse was her mother, so reporting this would lead to an investigation of her mother.
Besides, Xu Yi already qualified to be her sister’s combat partner, so owning a Spirit Level star chart exceeding 0.5 cubic meters wasn’t a big deal.
"He indeed has good luck. Before leaving, he specifically asked me if all star charts had only 0.5 cubic meters. Now, I understand why he asked—it’s because his star chart is definitely a Spirit Level one," Number 6 couldn’t help but recall the two questions Xu Yi had asked.
The technology of Star Chart space indeed has barriers, but during production, some particularly large-space star charts appear. The largest recorded is around a hundred cubic meters, but most are 1-10 cubic meters.
They want to crack the secret among them, but so far, they haven’t found a pattern, so those star charts exceeding the planned space are referred to as Spirit Level.
Such Star Charts are extremely rare, maybe only one in a million, and only high ranks of the Spirit Race can use them.
"You didn’t report this to me. If this happens again, you should resign," Ling Qi said, then closed her eyes and began training her telekinesis.
"Yes, Steward. I guarantee there won’t be a next time," Number 6 said with deep regret. He actually wanted to report it that day, but Ling Qi wasn’t on the ship, and he missed the chance later on.
Then, Number 6 continued to keep an eye on Xu Yi.
Xu Yi didn’t know he was watched all the time.
After brushing his teeth, Xu Yi felt his mouth was exceptionally fresh. After all, it was provided by the military, with top quality.
In the desert for over twenty days, everyone used fingers to brush and was reluctant to use water.
Now in the Jungle Area, with an abundance of water, it was naturally more convenient to freshen up.
The riverside in the morning was quite lively.
After finishing freshening up, everyone started having breakfast.
However, half of the people had to endure hunger, waiting to eat only after hunting game later today.
After all, not every team has enough food reserves or enough points to exchange for food. Surviving 22 days had already been a tough feat.
During this period, over half of the people became thin due to food shortages.
Xu Yi and the others were still eating dried meat today; although he still had quite a lot of potatoes and yams, he refrained from taking them out to avoid causing envy.
"Yan, what are you having for breakfast?" Lu Ke asked while chewing on the dried meat. After all, she hadn’t seen Su Yan eating anything.
"Keke, we ran out of food, but we had a late-night snack yesterday, so we aren’t hungry," Wang Jin said with a smile, without any other meaning.
"We have dried meat here; you guys take it to eat. You can’t skip breakfast," Xu Yi directly took out more than ten pounds of dried meat and started distributing it.
"Don’t just stand there, don’t be embarrassed," Xu Yi said when he saw they weren’t accepting it.
"Eat, we need strength to hunt," Lu Yao said, taking the dried meat first, followed by Su Yan and Wang Jin.
The other challengers were quite envious when they saw it, but none said anything.
After all, their relationship with Xu Yi was merely superficial, and Xu Yi wasn’t obligated to assist them.
After breakfast, everyone left the camp.
No one stayed behind in the camp, as Fierce Beasts could directly enter the camp, leaving someone behind would just make them bait for the beasts.
With their current strength, even leaving 50 people to guard the camp wouldn’t guarantee safety.
After leaving the camp, everyone ventured deeper.
"Strange, where did all these Fierce Beasts go? Why are there no traces?"
The time was past 1 PM, and if no Fierce Beasts appeared, they’d have to return to camp. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be enough time to get back.
"Yeah, it’s been so long and everything is so quiet. This situation, it wouldn’t scare off the animals from the desert, would it?" someone else expressed puzzlement.
"It’s indeed odd, the Fierce Beasts here are dangerous, but their numbers are limited, it shouldn’t be enough to keep the desert animals from coming here. We should have hunted in the desert instead of coming here,"
"We can handle the Jungle’s Fierce Beasts, there’s no reason we can’t deal with the desert’s numerous Fierce Beasts. Why didn’t we hunt in the desert; what are we doing here?"
"Exactly, who suggested coming to the depths of the jungle? Hunting in the desert would be better, wouldn’t it? Isn’t that meat delicious?"
"Should we go to the desert now, or starve the whole day? If Fierce Beasts attack at night and we have no energy to fight, then what?"
More and more people were calling to go to the desert, unwilling to advance further into the jungle.
Hunting in the desert was indeed an ideal option.
However, many wanted to challenge the powerful Fierce Beasts.
Now, a division appeared.
"Those who want to hunt in the desert, come over here. If someone doesn’t want to go, then we’ll go ourselves." someone stood up.
Instantly, nearly half the people chose to go to the desert.
The team that seemed united was instantly torn apart.
