Chapter 802: Money… Must Be Spent on the Blade's Edge! Titan Planet!

Hmm?

Ji Huai looked at Su Yang's expression, which bore a smile, and vaguely felt something was off.

Based on his previous performance, not letting him go in first is definitely the right move!

But how…

He, however, felt a kind of regret for having made that suggestion.

"Wait!" Lin Jin sang a contrary note, "I think letting him be the last to enter is improper."

"Why is it improper?" Lu Zhiwei asked.

"It's improper, that's all; why are there so many whys?" Lin Jin insisted.

"If you can't give a reason, this isn't up to you," Su Qi said coldly.

Lin Jin, hearing that, thought for a moment, then said, "The items bought from the Shop are so precious; handing them all to him, who can guarantee he'll deliver them to us?"

"So you mean…" Su Yang said, his smile inexplicable.

"Take them together, and once we have them, we'll use the Staggered Departure!" Lin Jin said.

"Then what's this Staggered Method?" Su Yang asked with interest.

"Of course it's based on Contribution Rankings: the First Place enters first, and those lower in the rankings follow later," Lin Jin said.

Upon hearing that, Ji Huai couldn't help but sigh in relief.

He had originally considered a flip‑flop, but fortunately Lin Jin was willing to be the one to step forward.

At present, among the six there are two small groups.

He and Lin Jin are weak alone, while the other side has many people and strength.

If they forced a direct clash, the two would expend effort without reward.

Just one Su Qi is enough to make them drink a pot.

Adding even a single Lu Zhiwei, they would be unable to cope.

Not to mention the most mysterious Su Yang here.

Therefore, Ji Huai naturally raised both hands in agreement with Lin Jin's proposal.

"I think this is the fairest, ranking by strength; no one has objections, right?" Lin Jin scanned the group.

Su Yang pondered briefly, then nodded, "... I have no objections."

"A good suggestion, fair and just, mutual supervision," Su Qi said.

Qin Yu Zhou and Lu Zhiwei both remained silent.

To them, the order doesn't matter.

There's no difference.

If possible, try to complete the KPI of ten thousand Star Coins as early as possible.

Clear the stage early and return.

This game is too perilous, and the relationships are tangled.

No one knows when an accident will strike.

Even with Innate Talent by one's side, one cannot avoid everything.

Su Yang is like that.

The others are the same.

"Alright, the choice of the Titan map is settled for today, so let's discuss what to buy," Ji Huai said.

Speaking, he went to the Control Console and opened the Shop.

Looking at the relatively few items listed above, everyone fell into contemplation.

Su Yang scanned the items, his gaze fixed on the 'Electric Gun'.

"Can this thing directly eliminate monsters?"

Everyone looked in that direction, and after a moment of staring, Su Qi explained, "In most cases the Electric Gun can only restrict a Monster's movement, not directly eliminate it."

"For example?" Su Yang asked.

"It doesn't work against Walnut Pliers or Springhead, and of course not against Slime either."

"Xiao Hei can be killed directly by the Electric Gun, provided the timing is right."

"As for Half-body Fish and Giant Spider… at most it can make them stiff for a few seconds," Su Qi elaborated.

Qin Yu Zhou was startled, "Qi Jie, how do you know so much?"

He hasn't seen Giant Spider or Half-body Fish yet, so how does she know she can deal with them?

And how does she know this thing can kill Xiao Hei?

She hasn't bought it before either, so where does the claim of practice come from?

Su Qi gave him a sidelong glance but did not answer.

At that moment Ji Huai said, "She's right; monsters have different weaknesses. Sometimes a Shovel can handle them, but the Electric Gun may not be effective."

"And for monsters the Electric Gun can kill, the Shovel may not necessarily cause damage."

"All things generate and overcome each other; items in the Shop must be purchased judiciously, money—must be spent on the blade's edge."

No one objected to that.

Subtracting the 700 Star Coins spent on the map purchase.

The remaining discretionary amount is 1,800.

It seems like a huge sum, but the items in the Shop are all oddly expensive.

For example, the Electric Gun costs a full 400!

Although it's not a disposable item and can be reused.

All rechargeable gadgets share one common flaw.

That is, after only a few uses they declare the battery depleted.

Furthermore, …

Because the Electric Gun is expensive, at most one or two can be bought, making it impossible for everyone to have one.

That brings up the issue of allocation.

"What do you think, how many Electric Guns should we buy?" Qin Yu Zhou looked at the group.

"Let's buy two, Xiao Hei is a major threat that must be guarded against," Su Yang said.

"I think that's feasible; total cost eight hundred, we still have a thousand surplus," Su Qi nodded in agreement.

"With the remaining funds I suggest each person get two Shock Bombs; this device affects anyone with hearing or sight," Ji Huai said.

"What about the giants and Blind Dogs?" Qin Yu Zhou asked.

"Equally effective!"

"Approximately how long can it be controlled?"

"Around five seconds."

That's more than enough!

For Normal Difficulty people, five seconds might be a bit cramped.

But among those present, who isn't physically superior?

Even under extreme Gravity, moving a load is enough to run out seventy to eighty meters.

"Two Shock Bombs per person… that's 480 Star Coins," Su Yang frowned.

The amount available for allocation was cut by nearly half.

"We also need to replenish Flashlights and Shovels, because we are entering via Staggered Entry, so each person must have a set," Ji Huai said.

"We currently have only three sets of Shovels and Flashlights, meaning we need to buy three more sets?" Qin Yu Zhou asked.

"135 Star Coins," Lin Jin replied.

"We also need to buy external ship cabin devices, such as… a Steam Whistle," Ji Huai pointed.

Su Yang glanced at the price—150 Star Coins.

"What use does this have?"

"A simple pull produces a huge sound, capable of drawing Blind Dogs to the bow of the ship," Ji Huai explained.

The ship cabin is at the rear; if there are cooperating players inside the Spaceship, it can provide a lifeline for those arriving later.

"That's actually good, we really should buy it," Lu Zhiwei nodded slightly.

"Also the Speaker. It can attract Monster aggression," Ji Huai said.

"What's the range?"

"At maximum volume, roughly a two‑hundred‑meter radius."

"Then we'll buy as you said."

"I'll place the order now."

Saying that, Ji Huai performed a series of operations and spent a fortune to purchase the required items.

Including the purchase of a map.

In an instant, the money the group had painstakingly earned was exhausted.

Counting yesterday's remainder, only 175 Star Coins remained.

"Alright, once the Spaceship lands, we can start searching for cargo," Ji Huai said.

Su Yang's eyes flashed with Radiance as he walked alone to the window and gazed at the boundless expanse of the universe.

He now basically understands what each person's Abacus is calculating.

The next round…

Let's see who gets the deer's hand!

As Ji Huai pulled the lever, the Spaceship lingered briefly, then surged forward with sudden acceleration.

It raced toward the Titan Planet.

However, the surrounding scenery hardly changed; shortly after, Su Yang saw a massive white Planet.

"Titan…"
