Chapter 63: Accept or Not Accept the Mission?

Since the reward concerns everyone in the district, it's natural that Lin Yifan cannot strive alone.

Likewise, it's not something he can achieve by his own effort alone.

So, he sent a message directly in the chat channel:

"Everyone, I have received a mission, and it is related to the number of survivors in each district during this heavenly disaster……"

After copying and sending all the information about the heavenly disaster mission in the chat channel, he then sent:

"Everyone, no one can complete this heavenly disaster mission alone; only if all survivors in the district unite can this mission possibly be completed."

"Now I need to ask for everyone's opinion: if you want to undertake this mission, we will work together; if you don't want to, I will directly abandon this mission."

As soon as this message was posted, everyone immediately erupted.

"This Survival Realm actually has missions? Real or fake?"

"Exactly! Is this real or fake? If this world truly has missions, why have I never received one?"

"Hmph! Do we even need to think? It's definitely fake! Lin Yifan has so many supplies, yet he watches countless compatriots die—what kind of good person could he be?"

"The person upstairs must be a lackey of the Heaven and Earth Society! Stop defaming the big brother here—he's nobody's father, why should he help others for free? Anyway, I believe Lin Yifan big brother wouldn't lie."

"I also believe Lin Yifan big brother, because he originally told us that a mosquito swarm heavenly disaster would appear, letting us prepare, which is why so many of us could survive; he had no reason to deceive us."

"Everyone, everyone, I can prove that Lin Yifan big brother is telling the truth, because I also previously received a mission—a unique Treasure Chest mission—but I lacked the ability to complete it; still, this is enough to prove that the Survival Sword truly has missions."

"I also once received a mission, but the information hint was vague and no reward was mentioned; I originally wanted to try it, but I'm too weak, so I couldn't complete the mission and ultimately had to give up."

……

Lin Yifan looked at everyone's chat messages and was not at all surprised that others had also received missions.

In this world, fortunate people are never lacking; since he could receive a mission, others naturally could as well.

However, according to what everyone said, one thing can be affirmed: it's not that his Treasure Chest mission is unusually difficult, but that all missions are difficult.

This made him feel somewhat balanced!

Otherwise, even if he could accept high mission difficulty due to the reward of random attributes, there would still be some imbalance.

Lin Yifan watched everyone chatting back and forth, but nobody gave a stance, and the number of people kept dropping, which also made him somewhat anxious.

He sent another message asking:

"Stop chatting for now; regarding what I said earlier, please first state your position! Otherwise, if we continue to delay, more people will die, and our chances of completing the mission will only decrease."

This time, the previously bustling chat channel instantly fell silent.

Only those who saw hope for survival, constantly begging everyone for help, and those leaving last words, continued to send messages.

Lin Yifan saw that no one had stated their position for a long time, he let out a slight sigh, but he actually could understand.

Everyone are mere chance acquaintances, and each person's supplies were earned by risking their lives—who would willingly just give them away to others?

People are selfish, let alone when it involves their own survival.

Even Lin Yifan himself, if not for his special talent that allowed him to accumulate a large amount of supplies in a short time, he wouldn't be sure he could be so generous.

Moreover, initially the central earth had 7.3 billion people; with 100,000 per district, that amounts to seventy or eighty thousand districts.

With so many districts, nobody dares to guarantee they could make it into the top three.

If they don't make it, then everything would be wasted; not wanting to gamble is quite normal.

So Lin Yifan, although somewhat disappointed, does not think anyone did anything wrong.

It's just a pity that the silver-grade city-level shelter blueprint and those 10 points of random attributes were lost; I don't know when the next opportunity will appear.

However, at that moment, the first person to state their position finally appeared in the chat channel.

And this person was none other than Lin Yifan's old acquaintance—Chen Yunuo.

"Chen Yunuo: I'll go first and state my position—I am willing to take out my supplies to help our district's compatriots overcome the crisis."

"Then I want to add a few more words: I know it's not easy for anyone to accumulate supplies, but we are all compatriots; watching them die helplessly, I believe everyone feels uneasy inside."

"So I hope everyone can contribute supplies to help more people get through the crisis; of course, I'm just hoping, not demanding—but if we truly can make it into the top three, we would not only gain 12 hours of doubled harvest, but also three Treasure Chest rewards; I think it's still worth giving it a shot!"

With the first person speaking up, gradually, more and more people also began to state their positions.

Although a few were unwilling, the majority actually were willing to contribute supplies.

This made Lin Yifan involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, and he hurriedly sent a message:

"Thank you everyone for your selflessness; we are united together, and I believe our future will only get better and better."

However, what surprised Lin Yifan was the following words from everyone:

"big brother, you don't need to thank us; this is originally our own intention, and we are not helping you, big brother—we are doing it for the entire district."

"Exactly, what the person upstairs said is correct; we are doing it for ourselves, for everyone in our district—such generous rewards, I really want them."

"Exactly, such good rewards—I cannot bear to give them up; I must give it a shot!"

"Come on, come on, I still have 50 units of wood and 15 units of stone; brothers and sisters whose shelters haven't yet reached level two, contact me—I'll add bricks and tiles for you!"

"I have 6 units of clay and 18 units of wood; as long as I keep two units, the wood can be used for fire, and the rest can be taken to add bricks and tiles—those who need it, please contact me quickly!"

……

Within the chat channel, for a moment it was bustling with fervor.

Lin Yifan looked at everyone's comments and, for a moment, felt myriad emotions.

At this moment, he sensed humanity.

Indeed, human nature is fundamentally selfish, especially when facing life-and-death; anyone will prioritize self-preservation.

Yet, even while preserving one's own life, there remains a bit of heart.

At least at this moment, many people are willing to take out their idle resources to help others.
