Chapter 40 - Peter’s Bold Plan

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After Peter’s defense was successful, a large number of siren corpses floated around the entire island.

Peter’s pleasantly surprised by the 500,000 points awarded by the island world.

In view of that, Peter came up with a bold plan. Since the island world rewarded him with a lot of points, could he use the points to buy all the low-level fruits on the trading board?

Peter planned to take over the islands of other humans. After the sea monsters from the island world besieged the islands, it was believed that many of the islands had been taken over by the sea monsters.

A large number of ownerless islands were idle.

According to the rules of the island world, after some time, these ownerless islands would go to the next batch of newcomers. What Peter had to do was to occupy the island before newcomers arrived.

According to the rules of the island world, occupying someone else’s island required a creature.

In other words, Peter had to send a creature to the desolate island before it would be recognized by the island world’s will.

Peter did not expect that it would be the points directly rewarded by the island, but this was also good.

Now, Peter wanted to contact his friends, but it would have to wait. While Peter had spent an hour successfully defending against these monsters, others needed more time, so he waited out.

It wasn’t until after lunch that Peter opened the chat bar. After all, it was already noon. It had already been three hours. No matter what, Hawk and Eric should have successfully defended.

Peter said, “What’s the situation now? I haven’t contacted you because I was afraid that I would delay your defense of the island. It should have been settled by now, right?”

Peter knew the family background of these two students. They had the support of a financial group.

Moreover, Peter’s island was attacked by many sea demons, leaving less for others’ islands.

Eric said, “It settled half an hour ago. It took a total of two hours.”

Hawk said, “Eric and I were done about the same time. We’re preparing lunch right now!”

Peter said, “Looks like your family has prepared a very powerful weapon for you.”

Hawk said, “We took two hours. You’re so powerful —- you must be faster than us.”

Eric said, “Take a look at the post-war statistics released by the island world. The number of survivors in the island world has dropped a lot because of this defensive battle. It seems that it’s still quite dangerous.”

Peter opened the information notification on his smartwatch.

[ island world announcement: 68,145 people from the island world. ]

Only then did Peter notice that this wave had directly eliminated more than 100,000 people. Scary, indeed —- this is irrespective of the number of extenuating circumstances.

This number of deaths was indeed stunning, but Peter had no way to stop it. This was everyone’s choice. Since they had chosen to defend, they would lose if they failed in the end.

After the three of them chatted for a while, they each went to do their own things. Peter also told his thoughts to his two classmates. Peter wanted his two classmates to join his island. Only in this way could they occupy other islands and not be restricted by the rules of the island world.

He and the Holy Dragon were a little tired from today’s battle. Compared to the previous two battles, it was indeed a little stressful. However, Peter could feel that the two classmates were seriously considering his idea.

At least with Peter as the leader of the island, they would have a much easier time in the next defensive battle. Moreover, Peter also offered a very attractive deal.

A free energy tower.

Although they hadn’t seen the power of the energy tower, it didn’t stop them from using their brains. Any non-stupid brains can figure out its value. Why could Peter’s Island defend against the attacks of the sea monsters?

Moreover, Peter used the shortest time to kill a large number of sea monsters.

This was enough to explain many problems.

The energy tower also relies on the tree of life’s energy support, allowing Peter to effectively seize their lifeline. This works well if the contract is observed, but should they choose to break from the deal, Peter can cut off the energy supply and turn their towers into useless decorations.

As for the cost of helping them build the energy tower, it was still a little high.

Don’t underestimate the cost of building energy towers. In fact, it was still very expensive. Even though everyone was relatively rich now, the amount of energy needed remained considerable.

One, however, is still within range. Peter’s 112-tower network may as well cost others an astronomical sum.

The price of an energy tower was about 500 points, mainly the consumption of life energy and energy crystals. Of course, it requires labor as well. While the labor of the tree spirit could not be counted, Peter had to charge a fee.

Peter’s idea was very simple. He welcomes anyone joining his camp and paying him points for his services.

For humans who were unwilling to join, sorry, they can leave the island world in advance.

Hawk was the first to agree with Peter’s idea. Peterbilt 20 energy defense towers for Hawk after Hawk sold a few Class C fruits in exchange for points, just enough to cover the cost of 20 energy defense towers.

20 energy defense towers were already very useful.

The attack time of the energy defense towers was instantaneous, but the premise was to form a defense net to maximize the effect.

Even if one shot didn’t kill an enemy in the end, more of them ultimately would, so 20 energy defense towers were enough to deal with many sea monsters.

Then, Peter asked Hawk to step in and began to look for people to work with in the chat and forums.

Hawk did things in peace.

In return, Peter sent 10 tree spirits to Hawk’s Island to help him plan out the area of the defensive net.

Then, Peter bought seeds of all levels on the trading board.

He wanted to build a strong alliance in the island world.

Because, Peter found that the island world’s will was not as simple as the outside world thought. It was more like an intelligent entity.

Moreover, the appearance of the island world itself was very strange. It was not believable to say that it was the remains of aliens. So far, there were still many areas in the island world that had not been discovered by humans. One could only imagine how huge the island world was.

Peter’s idea was to occupy the entire island world.
