Chapter 853: Blue
In the following days, Chen Futu continued to hunt down mutated creatures to accelerate the acquisition of crystal cores. Lu Lu'er lived up to expectations, and the two of them collected a large number of first and second-tier crystal cores in less than five days, with a total value of exactly 10,000 first-tier crystal cores.
Chen Futu didn't use the crystal cores on the two women, and they didn't ask any questions. With such good living conditions, what more could they ask for? Even if Chen Futu didn't give them crystal cores, Lu Lu'er still felt embarrassed eating fish and meat every day. She would shamelessly ask Chen Futu from time to time if he wanted to have sex with her, as a way to cover her food expenses.
At this time, Chen Futu would point at the door with a dark face and tell her to get out.
Lu Lu'er couldn't understand it. All she had to offer was her physical appearance. Could it be that Old Chen was gay and didn't like women at all?
Qin Xiaoman was both amused and exasperated. "Sister Lu, Brother Chen has a wife and children. It's unlikely he'd get involved with you."
"Martial artists have long lifespans, why would they care about this? That shouldn't be the case."
"In short, you'd better not bother Brother Chen anymore. If he wants you, you don't need to ask."
"Okay, this is pretty boring. What a waste of that handsome face. He's just a pretty face with no substance."
Lu Lu'er muttered to herself, the more she was ignored, the more itchy she became. If she could beat Chen Futu, she would have wanted to force herself on him and experience the legendary, soul-stirring pleasure.
Perhaps she herself didn't realize that she had already been attracted to him after only knowing him for a short time.
This was the first time she had encountered such a situation in all the years she had struggled in the apocalypse.
"System, the crystal core is ready for you. Open the regional chat channel."
Chen Futu summoned the system from inside the room.
Ding!
"Deduct 10,000 system points to open the survivor group chat section. The host will serve as the group administrator."
The administrator's identity is hidden and will not be detected by anyone.
As the system's voice faded, a huge azure panel appeared before Chen Futu's eyes. At that moment, Qin Xiaoman and Lu Luer, who were in the lobby on the first floor, were also forcibly bound to the area chat interface.
The survivors throughout the city and even the surrounding area for miles were stunned.
One second later, countless messages flooded the regional channel.
"what's the situation?"
"Is this a manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth? This is amazing."
"I'm from Black City, what about you?"
"I'm in Mandalay."
"I come from Blue Mountain Refuge!"
……
Chen Futu looked at the messages flooding the screen and saw the current coverage area of the chat group in the background, which was all survivors within a radius of one thousand kilometers centered on the city.
Chen Futu divided the channel into ten to distribute chat information and limited the speed of sending messages and the daily message limit for each person. If you really want to chat, you can go to the friends interface to chat privately.
The announcement caused a stir among the crowd.
Chen Futu gave himself the ID "Blue".
Blue represents the planet Earth, which is also his root; he can never forget it.
Soon Qin Xiaoman and Lu Luer ran up and asked to add each other as friends, and Chen Futu agreed.
He didn't rashly mention the names of his relatives and friends in the announcement, otherwise it might bring them greater danger. Instead, he offered a reward to find his relatives, and posted a photo of Xiaobai obtained from the system in the reward notice. The reward was a large amount of supplies.
As expected, this news attracted the attention of many forces, but unfortunately no one had ever seen Xiaobai, and no one accepted the bounty.
Chen Futu waited for a long time and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "In the end, I was overthinking it. Although the system's group chat has a coverage radius of more than a thousand kilometers, for the Celestial World, this range may just be a tiny place. Without system upgrades, it's still like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Therefore, we still need to earn points to upgrade the system, strive for wider coverage, and increase the chances of finding people.
The most regrettable thing is that the system doesn't have a remote trading function. Otherwise, you could sit at home, use points to farm resources, then exchange them for crystal cores at high prices, then buy more resources, and then sell them at high prices again...
"Wake up, host. Stop daydreaming. The system cannot conduct remote transactions."
"How can you be so useless? Have you ever read the stories about everyone on Earth traveling through time? People in those chat groups can even trade remotely."
"Host, their chat group is constructed by the world's will over there, while the regional chat platform that the system is currently building is essentially attached to the world's will here. Achieving remote trading is equivalent to controlling the will of heaven and earth, which the system cannot do."
The system's explanation was quite concrete.
Chen Futu understood and decided not to make things difficult for it.
Next, just continue earning points step by step.
"Please set Qin Xiaoman as a level two administrator. The system can use her deductive abilities to detect the timing of the mutant surge in real time," the system suddenly announced.
Chen Futu asked in surprise, "Won't this affect Xiaoman?"
"The system has the inherent ability to conceal the secrets of heaven, so it will not backfire on her. Please rest assured, host."
"Well done, system. I didn't realize you were somewhat useful."
Chen Futu jokingly set Qin Xiaoman as a level two administrator.
Sure enough, Qin Xiaoman, who was downstairs watching the group chat, was stunned. How did she suddenly become an administrator? Fortunately, it was a hidden privilege, such as being able to mute people and edit announcements. If Lu Luer knew that she was the only one of the three people in the villa who wasn't an administrator, she would definitely go crazy.
Ding!
"On July 3rd, we will face a surge of mutated creatures. Please work together to defend against them."
Using Qin Xiaoman's divine insight, the system deduced and issued a red announcement, which immediately caused an uproar in the regional channels.
"My God, is this the will of heaven and earth warning us?"
"Could this group chat be something created by the Heavenly Dao...?"
Everyone was talking at once, but apart from Chen Futu, no one else knew the origin of the regional chat channel.
Chen Futu went to the window and looked out at the gray sky, his heart filled with turmoil.
What exactly is this so-called alien frenzy?
With ten days to go until July 3rd, some powerful individuals began to form teams, constructing defensive fortifications and even building more robust shelters.
"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building."
Looking at the desolate street scene of Blackwater City, Chen Futu couldn't help but miss his old friends.
With family, friends, and loved ones not by their side, they don't know if they will also suffer such a catastrophe.
"Old Chen, I've found something fun."
The next morning, Lu Luer went downstairs excitedly.
Chen Futu asked suspiciously, "What?"
"This group chat is really interesting; it can even record your own activity. Do you think anyone would come to watch me if I went out to hunt down mutants?"
"what?"
Chen Futu was dumbfounded.
After taking a closer look at the administrator's backend, I discovered that the system had enabled live streaming.
"System, what are you doing?"
"The system grants live streaming permissions, making the world more vibrant and enabling rapid dissemination of information, which is beneficial to the host. Don't you think the host should accumulate some popularity to prepare for future expansion of influence?"
