World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 294 - 178 Three Tasks

After the meal, everyone strolled around the vicinity, and although Rebirth Island was in need of many repairs, it didn’t diminish its unique beauty in the slightest.

Whether it was the ancient mystery of the ruins or the charming allure of the Seven-star Lakefront, these young men and women, passionate about adventure and novelties, were deeply intoxicated by it.

Now that the members of the Light Blue Clan had become Awakeners, they could sense Dark Energy and, after familiarizing themselves with the surrounding environment, couldn’t wait to start communicating with Active Dark Energy Particles.

Zhang Xiaoman handed each of them a booklet, which he had specially printed. It contained various precautions and currently public Dark Energy Formulas.

Usually, the first recommended Skill to learn is the Spirit Detection Technique, followed by the Violent Spirit Technique.

Since the formulas for these two Skills are similar, mastering one essentially means mastering both.

In addition, this provides newcomers with both an expanded Field of View and offensive capabilities, effectively increasing their ability to protect themselves.

Next to learn are the Teleportation Technique and Constitution Enhancement. One facilitates movement, while the other further enhances combat ability.

Typically, once Star Alliance members reach this point, they are considered capable of confronting monsters head-on, signifying that they can start generating points income for Zhang Xiaoman.

As the saying goes, "Sharpening your axe will not delay your chopping of firewood," which is essentially a form of investment.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoman is currently strapped for points. According to previous norms, everyone should get at least one Starry Stone, but he only has thirty-some points in total. Eight people would mean forty points, and he can’t afford that yet.

With only thirty-some points, not everyone can get a stone if he decides to buy them.

In such cases, it’s either all or nothing because those who get less will surely feel uncomfortable.

So Zhang Xiaoman simply didn’t give any for now, leaving the arrangement for later. After all, even if he did give them stones now, with the Shield in place, they wouldn’t be able to enter anyway.

The afternoon passed in a flash, and today was the liveliest day here. As the evening approached, Zhang Xiaoman arranged for them to Teleport back to the city in batches.

Before leaving, he laid out three tasks for the members of the Light Blue Clan, including two short-term tasks and one long-term task:

1. Collect Black Mamba Snake Poison Liquid.

2. Recruit craftsmen for base construction.

3. Pay attention to collecting information on abnormal events.

These three tasks were of high priority for Zhang Xiaoman.

The first, naturally, the Black Mamba Snake’s venom, is for making inspiration potions.

The second involves recruiting craftsmen, as he needed to begin base construction. Comfort was a lesser concern; the immediate priority was addressing safety hazards.

Actually, to find workers, Su Fu could be contacted, but after discussing it with him, Zhang Xiaoman learned that although the Snow Crystal Group was in property development, it hadn’t established its own construction team; it usually cooperated with other construction firms.

Zhang Xiaoman felt that rather than poaching from another company, it would be better to recruit directly.

Because, according to Su Fu’s account, the workers in these construction units were generally people who came from rural areas to work here, many of whom were older and did not meet Zhang Xiaoman’s criteria.

This wasn’t discrimination against migrant workers; they simply did not meet the standards. What Zhang Xiaoman was looking for were young, highly skilled individuals who could accept novel things.

First, younger people were more energetic and worth training; second, the construction Zhang Xiaoman needed them for was not just any ordinary residential building but the main base of the Star Alliance in the Inheritance Land on Rebirth Island.

During this time, they would inevitably live on Seven Star Island for a long time and would come into contact with the Star Alliance and the Extraordinary World. Young people tended to have a stronger ability to accept these aspects.

As for manpower, not too much was needed. The new materials were very convenient to use; one person could do the work of several, and with the assistance of the World Tree, many areas did not even require human labor to complete.

The last task, collecting information, was considered a long-term additional task. Zhang Xiaoman hadn’t originally planned to assign the Light Blue Clan any intelligence work, but with the current shortage of personnel, he could only have them fill in for now.

After dealing with the affairs of the Light Blue Clan, Zhang Xiaoman held a separate discussion with Su Fu, mainly concerning the upcoming overseas sale of new building materials. This was critical as it involved the initial funding issues for the entire Star Alliance.

Unlike the Light Blue Clan, which was a hybrid of logistics and personnel, the task Zhang Xiaoman gave Su Fu related to the Star Alliance’s foreign trade, as after all, he was a business talent, and making the most of one’s resources was the truth.

The current new building materials were just the start. In the future, there would be various materials and even technology. Creating a business empire belonging to the Star Alliance was very necessary.

And Su Fu was the spokesperson he had chosen for this venture.

"Star Lord, regarding the company matters, everything has already been nearly arranged. Our target this time is an American enterprise that has been shut down for almost a year due to issues with their raw materials production. According to intelligence, their site contract expired and a new contract was snatched up by another company. Now, the owner of that company is urgently trying to sell shares; it’s the perfect opportunity for us to take over," Su Fu reported.

Zhang Xiaoman nodded and said, "I’ll leave these matters to you. As for the acquisition funds, please ask the Snow Crystal Group to advance them. I will repay the accounts after we start making a profit."

"All right, give me a week’s time, and I will surely give you a satisfactory result," Su Fu answered promptly. He was very pleased with the task given to him by Zhang Xiaoman.

Although he yearned for Extraordinary Power, unlike young people like Xiao Shun, Su Fu had little interest in fighting monsters to save the world. He simply desired to obtain that power.

Now, the task Zhang Xiaoman had arranged for him was to be in charge of the Star Alliance’s commercial planning, which was exactly what he wanted. Although he had his own large Snow Crystal Group to manage and taking on the Star Alliance business might stretch him thin,

But Su Fu was a person with a strong business acumen, so how could he not see the potential of the Star Alliance in the future? In his view, just the things that were currently displayed were enough to create innumerable business empires. How could his modest Snow Crystal Group compare?

Bear in mind, his Snow Crystal Group was only somewhat well-known in Qionghua City and the surrounding cities, whereas the technologies controlled by the Star Alliance—weren’t each of them products that could change the world? How could he not know which was more significant?

Su Fu had even considered abandoning the Snow Crystal Group entirely to devote himself completely to the Star Alliance’s business endeavors.

The two talked for a long time, shifting the conversation from company creation to the use of Dark Energy, and finally touched upon the two mahi-mahi they ate today. Su Fu couldn’t help but ask curiously about it, trying to find a business opportunity.

Zhang Xiaoman knew what he was thinking, yet he shook his head slightly and said,

"Although Seven-star Lake is vast, it has just risen from the seabed, and its ecosystem is not stable yet. It is not suitable for large-scale fishing at this time. It’s fine for us to eat occasionally, but if we want to make money from it, we will need to wait until later."

PS: I’m taking a leave today; I’ve been busy until late and only managed to update once, please forgive me.
