Chapter 1318: Chapter 939 Many People

Zheng Yichen would never miss an unexpected windfall. After sacrificing a third of the environment in this high-tier world, it had created quite the splash here.

The splash was too widespread, scattering onto the shore. While it would eventually flow back to the river, there was no issue in scooping it up before it did.

Gather as much as possible. I must say the combination of the Virtual World Core and Fantasy Great Array Formation is very practical.

Anything touched could be attempted to replicate, even if it wasn’t as good as the original, but with enough investment, it could get close.

Furthermore, Zheng Yichen is now using the World Origin Force, and the final result is even better than the original.

The only limitation is time. This kind of agitation wouldn’t stop for half a day, and Zheng Yichen wisely reserved time.

No one disturbed Zheng Yichen, and the investigators here already felt the new environmental changes personally.

The already weakened strength further reduced, but with the environmental agitation, it regained strength after weakening, returning to a normal recovery.

However, investigators with sharp perception found a new change, with reduced body strength due to the Environmental Adjustment.

But this reduction wasn’t absurd; it was similar to the environmental segregation from their native world.

The upper limit decreased, but the level remained unchanged. Besides, because this world’s upper limit is too high, it basically had no effect on them; they couldn’t touch the maximum anyway.

A decrease doesn’t touch it either.

"Continue to guard here. The ’environment’ I am collecting will be sent to your native world later."

Not everything would be sent over. Zheng Yichen planned to leave a significant portion to feed the Virtual World Core.

According to Lilith’s discovery in the Virtual World Core, this unique ’environment’ resource had rarely been fed to the Virtual World Core even by the Great World.

It’s not that they couldn’t, but there was no need. The Virtual World Core plan hadn’t succeeded, so why consume so many resources for it?

These kinds of resources are irreversible. Consuming even a ten-thousandth meant it was truly gone.

"Got it!" Zhong Yan emphasized. The investigators who initially wanted to retreat reorganized, saying they were defending, as some Savage creatures had completely given up.

Environmental agitation changes could no longer trigger their instinctive impulse.

The environment belonging to another world had already entered theirs, not like the previous sealed state, so the changes thereafter had little to do with them.

Even charging to the center of agitation now could offer extra benefits, but so many strong humans blocked the path, it wasn’t necessary to proceed.

Besides, the ’giant’ from before was still around, easily wiping them out with a single strike.

Not just that, the intelligent Savage creatures felt a reduction in their body strength, baffling them. They only knew that with new strength came weakened primal power.

Therefore, their instinct became to evade, making it easier for the investigators to defend.

Some began discussing, making a bold decision; some truly planned to stay in this world. Their world had just experienced a war.

The enemies were cleared, ensuring subsequent safety. Staying here was not a problem.

"I’m also planning to stay here," said short-haired Zhong Yan to Zhong Yan. "A world can bear two Zhong Yans, but preferably just one."

"...Are you sure about your decision?"

Short-haired Zhong Yan nodded. "I will become a Dusk mercenary, then I should be able to return; it won’t affect much."

Zhong Yan refrained from saying more, "Then let’s decide that way. I am already a Dusk mercenary. After earning enough merit points, we can reconnect."

The two Zhong Yans quickly reached a consensus that, from a long-term perspective, staying in this world was better.

After all, her physique was better than short-haired Zhong Yan, with greater correction from Environmental Adjustment in this world, but was more accepted in her native world.

Body and soul were both Zhong Yan, but in her world, the soul was more fundamental, while short-haired Zhong Yan was a Revenant, an alternative Zhong Yan.

"Let’s tally those willing to stay."

The two Zhong Yans dispatched someone for a tally, surprisingly finding more than a tenth wanting to stay...

This exceeded their estimation but was acceptable. Since they chose to stay, they might as well do it better.

Long-haired Zhong Yan traveled back through the passage opened by Zheng Yichen to her native world, bringing back news and using Shadow Retention Technique to recreate the battle from the other side.

For those inclined to go to another world, act quickly; time was short.

These extra hours came from accelerated Environmental Adjustment preparations earlier. If they’d pressed the environmental deadline, there wouldn’t be this ’abundant’ time.

Now there’s enough time even for a consolidated meeting.

The report from Zhong Yan was promptly approved by the consolidated meeting, since short-haired Zhong Yan also planned to become a Dusk mercenary, maintaining contact made this ’colonization’ beneficial.

Gathering personnel wasn’t difficult, seeing as global alert was active, and any major information could quickly notify everyone.

Those willing could swiftly register, given the limited time, with a maximum of two hours for consideration.

Moreover, within this group, no one must have a criminal record. This wasn’t exile, and those with records shouldn’t dream of clearing them upon crossing over.

Any issues with anyone meant exclusion. Don’t expect to stir up trouble.

The neighboring world’s native humans wanted stability.

The time was limited, but many aspirants rushed to sign up, with numbers exceeding five million in less than two hours.

Although the number surpassing a million subsequently dropped, the counting decreased in speed.

Some wanted to challenge the unknown, while others resisted the unknown environment, choosing not to leave due to attachments in their native world.

The number exceeding a million, by the time formal action began, had dropped significantly, leaving fewer than three million. Some with identity issues were disqualified, others had changed minds, and some failed to meet conditions.

For instance, those burdened with diseases saw another world as hope; if their records were clean, the native official would consent.

Consent aside, these individuals needed some self-defense ability, at least needing mobility. Betting on Environmental Adjustment to bolster health was risky, but reaching the Dusk Territory demanded prolonged migration.

No adequate mobility meant wasted efforts; those lacking were cut, and some altered decisions.

Not all patients were willing to gamble.

Especially after learning their native world’s environment was set to improve again, most opted to stay for reliable trials over gambling on an unknown chance.

"Still more than expected," Zhong Yan remarked at the dense crowd of natives, among them a quarter were ill.

And their diseases didn’t affect mobility; some could potentially fight directly, while others were elderly.

No problem there; Environmental Adjustment correction reserved enough combat strength here, age wouldn’t alter their status.

Being chosen as elderly meant expertise or sufficient strength.

The remainder sought exploration and experience of the unknown, comprising half of the group.

Including ordinary people, but predominantly those with strength.

Resources were prepared, enabling rapid transit via the passage.

"That many people?", Zheng Yichen, surprised by the news from Lilith, had seen crowds, but a first for a migration of over three million.

And they weren’t using transport, merely flying with strong individuals in transit.

Those strong individuals, despite being fragile, could easily carry tens of thousands.

Like Zhong Yan’s existence, alone capable of transporting.

"Initial peak registration hit approximately eight million."

"This retention rate is decent, right? Your efficiency was high, completing it all in half a day."

Zheng Yichen observed the people arriving in the Savage World, tightly packed and chaotic, compounded by survival materials.

However, the chaos normalized in under two minutes, with strong individuals using their Strength to systematically organize.

"Numbers will decrease afterward," said Zhong Yan, aware many came hoping to test the environment.

The native official hadn’t stated return was possible, nor intentionally concealed it, thus creating such a number due to realization.

No explicit statement spared excessive registration and quantity inflation.

Higher numbers meant more issues.

Those regretting their choice would follow investigators planning to return.

Given circumstances, many ill would return.

Predictably, when some discovered their state hadn’t ’improved’ here, desires to remain in the Savage World diminished.

In their native world with a complete medical system, staying was pointless when nothing improved here, leaving them awaiting death.
