Chapter 406: Chapter 216 Honor Mission

Under Stone’s encouragement, Shadow managed to hold a meeting every night, wasting Youth away. Lin Wu joined the lively discussion first and then headed to the beach, where everything was pitch black and nothing could be seen. But one could hear the sound of the sea and feel that the sand underfoot was not traditional sand. Even at night, leisure beaches have night lights and bonfires, things that Resource Beach couldn’t match in an instant.

Stone entered the beach, holding a torch and walking up behind Lin Wu: "Look, this is the beach I built for you all."

Lin Wu said, "Stone, although I can’t see it clearly, I think this beach is not a good place."

Stone replied generously, "If you like it, we’ll build another leisure beach. Subtracting the kitchen, there’s one small area left. But how come you’re here at the meeting time?"

Lin Wu said, "The topic of this meeting is on sacrifice. It has no direct connection with me—if I participated, that would be murder."

Stone said, "Yes. Everyone knows that having a player with Trade Skill is important, but trade doesn’t offer any buffs to the player themselves. The tough part is we all think trade is important, but compared to their own skills, everyone feels they could do without trade."

Lin Wu asked, "Is this considered individualism?"

Stone said, "No, of course not, just genuinely believing their own skills are more important. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with individualism. Without self-interest, society wouldn’t develop."

Lin Wu laughed, "Isn’t this group of middle-aged bosses the most fond of drawing collective pies?"

"Some people like eating pies, what’s it to you? For those who don’t like pies, I’ll naturally stuff them with money. Let’s head back." As they walked, Stone continued, "You might not want to give your opinion, but you can’t run from the meeting."

Arriving at the green ring location on the beach, Lin Wu chose to teleport out of the instance, and the countdown for the teleportation started. Surprised, Lin Wu got an explanation from Stone: "The first teleportation takes 30 seconds, the second takes 1 minute, the third takes two minutes, and so on."

Lin Wu asked, "What if the teleportation takes 10 minutes and a siege happens?"

Stone replied, "You overeating? You would want to run around this crappy place... several times a day." He thought for a while but couldn’t calculate how many times 10 minutes was.

Lin Wu asked, "How many times?" He was too lazy to count.

"Get lost." As he spoke, Lin Wu disappeared, teleported back to base, unable to retort, fuming on the spot. He had planned to wait for that Old Man to come out, but Shana called him over instead. It turned out to be everyone’s time to share their thoughts. Damn Stone, his timing was perfect, pulling himself out to be grilled while hiding inside the instance.

...

Lin Wu sat down and said, "What’s this meeting for? Wouldn’t it be nicer to gather two tables for mahjong with this time?"

Little Knife immediately agreed, "Good, good, good."

Maya said, "Let’s talk business before playing cards. Lin Wu, which skill do you think it’s more suitable to give up?"

Lin Wu immediately answered, "Shana, since she won’t survive until winter anyway."

Shana’s face changed in an instant, her smiling face turning into a glare, arms akimbo, trying to look as fierce as possible at Lin Wu.

Snow Egg said, "On the contrary, Shana must not learn Trade." If she died, all the investment would go down the drain.

Lin Wu said, "Then let’s pick Peanut, he’s the newbie and should be bullied."

"Tsk." Everyone expressed disdain at Lin Wu’s discriminatory remarks.

Lin Wu said, "Or Horse Soul? The food Horse Soul cooks is much better than what the chefs do."

Horse Soul didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, as it was a backhanded compliment—saying his food was better than what the system kitchens made was praise, but the system could cook a dish in a minute while he would take a minute just to kill a fish. It was both a compliment and a killjoy.

Shana waved him off, "Go play, don’t mind us asking you."

Maya stopped Lin Wu, "What about Leadership?"

Lin Wu said, "Leadership seems pretty useless, but I’ve survived several close calls. I think if it wasn’t for the morale boost from Leadership, I probably wouldn’t have made it. Now if I oppose your Leadership and someone dies because of a close call, wouldn’t that be my fault?"

Maya said, "So what’s your opinion?" She wasn’t planning to let Lin Wu off the hook.

Lin Wu said, "There will be a way when we get to that bridge. Since we only want Combat Medicine, let’s just buy Combat Medicine. Next time we fancy another skill, we’ll pool money to buy it. With Shadow’s wealth, why worry about pennies? Besides, you think the merchant will sell Combat Medicine every time?"

Su Shi said, "I agree with Lin Wu’s suggestion, let’s just buy Combat Medicine."

Little Knife hesitated, "But the Sawmill is our semi-permanent base, we should take a long-term view."

Lin Wu asked, "Aren’t you going to play mahjong?"

Little Knife immediately said, "Lin Wu is right." After all, there was still plenty of time to decide, and if the meeting continued, it would never end. The person preparing to reset skills speaks, everyone speaks. Based on everyone’s input, the person preparing to reset skills speaks again. In response to the person preparing to reset, everyone raises their own questions.

Soon, two mahjong tables were set up.

Shadow hadn’t been very fond of playing mahjong, primarily because it had always been two players short. Before Peanut joined, only Su Shi and Horse Soul were interested in mahjong and knew how to play. Peanut taught Little Knife hands-on. As everyone learned mahjong by watching, they began to participate. But no matter how they played, it lacked enthusiasm, mainly because there were no stakes, causing a lack of a sense of winning or losing.

Lin Wu had a bad idea: "Let’s play Truth or Dare. The winner can ask the loser to do something healthy and safe."
