Chapter 1300 Getting More Than I Wanted

During the first hour, nothing happened. I counted these tokens, and they were nine hundred and ninety-nine. Only one was missing to complete one thousand.

As I waited for one long hour, I thought the link was severed and the worst case scenario happened.

Even if I was at the other worlds, I still got the connection going. So it wasn't impacted by my presence away from my Earth world, or second Earth world.

But after one hour, I finally noticed the increase of a hundred tokens in one go!

"Phew! It's still working, thank god!" I didn't know if I'd meet up with zombies in these worlds or not. But I was now sure the connection was still there, and more warriors and common people would be added to my inventory.

The number of zombies was the lowest in the entire token collection I had. That was mainly because I asked for a small number to begin with. Not to mention there were too many out there trying to get into that den of warriors of mine.

"Good! I'm now sure the connection with my second world is intact. Now it's time to check other things..."

The second thing I checked was the functions of the market. I didn't depend that much on the market recently, but it was still a helpful feature that I didn't want to lose.

Not to mention my team members would still use the market.

"It's working," I tested and found that I could access and purchase or sell anything.

[Dude, are you here?] Next in my list came the connection with Silverlining.

I knew they planned to observe my performance out there. However I also wanted to be sure the connection with him was still there.

Who knew, I might need help out there from him or his race.

[Did you already start? I'm sitting here with many sovereigns and waiting for the image to get clear]

Hearing his words made me bitterly smile. At the time when I was going to risk my life, these folks were sitting in ease back at their homes, enjoying the show of my suffering and struggle.

What luck!

[There is still many hours before the start of the quest]

[Oh! Then do you need anything?]

I contacted him just to make sure the connection was there and stable. But when he asked me this, I couldn't help but have different thoughts.

[Any warriors you can get me can help] I paused before adding, [I also need resources, materials used for constructions. If you got any useful defensive blueprints, big and deadly siege weapons, then send them as well. Don't forget to send me tons of the stat crystals as well as energy crystals]

[Sure! But why the materials and these blueprints?]

[I can't tell] I was sure I could now tell anyone about the content of the golden quests. But I decided to keep my tongue and not say anything.

I wanted to leave this entire quest as a big surprise to them. Besides, I couldn't tell if the enemy had eyes over my conversation with the system higher up or had eyes in the system higher up circle or not.

But for sure they got eyes and ears at all the big races in the universe. If I said anything, then I might risk exposing my intentions to them.

Let them get surprised by my sudden actions as well.

[Ok, I'll do my best and prepare as much as I can. By the way, when do you want these?]

[I have less than half a day before the start of the quest] I said in rough estimation, giving him a few hours to get delayed without affecting my plans, [And I want these items on a regular basis if you can. If I wanted anything else, I'll let you know]

[Cool! I'll start preparing the things you asked for then]

I smiled while closing the chat with him. As long as I'd buy more things from him, then no matter how dire my situation became, I was sure I'd be able to get over it.

Besides, if these sovereigns saw me facing a deadly situation or something, perhaps they'd release the frozen reward and let me make the best use out of it.

So I got everything working perfectly fine. Even my connection with the Silverlining was working.

All I got to do now was to just wait for the system higher ups to make up their minds. I didn't know what was at stake here for them to support such a plan of mine.

They just needed to let me and others loose, tweak a few things here and there, and decide on a good reward for the first rank.

Without the need to wait for the end result, the first position would be mine.

I was the one who devised the entire plan. At the same time, I was the most ready one to face many enemies in different worlds without much pressure.

Not to mention I was the only one knowing about the presence of the hidden enemy, and had the ability and experience to defeat them.

The system higher ups indeed took their time and didn't return to me with anything until there was less than half an hour left.

[We discussed what you proposed]

He simply sent this to me.

"And?" I knew that you were discussing what I said, dude! Just cut the chase and tell me the real deal.

[We agreed to follow up with your plan] he said before adding, [As for the rewards, we decided to give you the priority to select five races to join you without any regard to your position in the end]

Dude, who were you bluffing? I was going to come first without doubt!

"Thanks for your consideration," but in the end I got what I wanted. I didn't end up having the chance to get one race, but five!

[You deserve this. But that on the basis your plan really works]

"It will," I confidently said, "you just have to make others comply and work together."
