Chapter 158 Last Preparation

Chapter 158 Last Preparation

With the countdown to the next round looming, Alan rushed to the workshop, his urgency reflecting his keen awareness of the impending game.

Optimizing his preparations, he utilized the [Spatial Ring], a versatile tool that allowed him to efficiently store surplus items. Even some of the [common] junk provided by the military found its way into the ring, as Alan knew that once they departed the luxurious cruise ship, anything left behind would be irretrievably lost. Most notably, the cumbersome [Metal Furnace], one of his ingenious creations, was carefully packed into the ring, taking up a significant portion of the available space.

Alan's path guided him through the special team workshops, where Dylan and his proficient crew of engineers toiled diligently. Alan dropped by to assess the items they had collectively crafted and observed the satisfaction radiating from their faces. It was clear that they took pride in a job well done. To ensure the items' safety and readiness for the upcoming round, they were methodically stored in the military storage ring, under the watchful care of Dylan.

Alan's previous help assisting Gaston in working on communication devices had rewarded him with a set of items.

These tactical headsets, numbering 20 in total, were instrumental in establishing long-range communication within the game. The tactical headset was equipped with an additional item, a radio acting as an antenna, ensuring seamless communication across the battlefield.

Alan expressed his heartfelt gratitude to the special units who had worked diligently to prepare these vital devices. He hoped for their safety and looked forward to their eventual reunion in the third round, where the tools they had created would play a pivotal role in their success.

With all the necessary preparations completed and his checklist satisfactorily marked off, Alan made his way back to the training hall, where his newly formed Wolverine Militia had gathered. Clad in their new sets of [uncommon] equipment, they stood in formation, presenting a picture of disciplined soldiers, ready for action.

Despite the mere 24 hours they had spent training together, Alan couldn't help but notice the emergence of a certain camaraderie among them. There was an unspoken bond forming, one that transcended the brevity of their time together.

Alan summoned Vicky, Marsh, and the 20 squad leaders for a final debriefing.

"We're ready to go!" Vicky exclaimed with an air of optimism. However, Alan knew that beneath their façade of readiness, everyone was enduring the last hour with mounting suspense and tension.

He began by instructing them on the use of the newly acquired communication devices, ensuring that they were well-versed in their operation. Next, he briefed them on rendezvous and coordination techniques, including the use of terrain and smoke signals to facilitate efficient communication.

"Bring along any other players you find to a lakeside near the hill" Alan emphasized.

He explained the specific location on the map with clarity, leaving no room for ambiguity. When it came to matters of life and death, he knew there was no time for vagueness, and he treated this information as vital military intelligence to answer their confusion.

lightsnοvεl While the squad leaders familiarized themselves with the operation of the communication devices, Alan gathered Bill and the three dedicated crafters to discuss the allocation of survival points.

A total of 600 players had registered for the sword training, and among them, 160 were members of the Wolverines. This translated to a combined registration fee of 220,000 survival points.

As for the Wolverines shop, they had garnered an impressive 3.5 million survival points in total expenditures, resulting in a 2% profit of 70,000 survival points. Additionally, thanks to the trade of [uncommon] items, they had received an extra 50,000 survival points. This brought a grand total to 340,000 survival points.

Assuming the role of their leader and with full authority, Alan initiated the distribution of the funds. He allocated 30,000 survival points to Bill for his pivotal role in trading, thanks to his special [mercantile] skill. The three primary crafters, Shamus, Gus, and Marie, were each rewarded with 10,000 survival points for their dedicated crafting efforts. As for the original team of 30 crafters, they received 5,000 survival points each, while the newly recruited 10 members were granted 3,000 survival points each. After this allocation, there were still 100,000 survival points remaining. Alan decided to take half for his share and set aside the other half for future needs.

The distribution of survival points had been strategically planned. The support team, having invested more time in crafting than training, received extra survival points. This allocation increased their chances of survival when they inevitably faced death in the upcoming game. In contrast, the fighters were equipped with a set of [uncommon] items free of charge.

As Alan was in the process of sharing the survival points, Luis entered the hall with a delightful surprise. He had completed a task assigned to him by Alan and unveiled boxes filled with freshly wrapped burgers.

The food was meant to be consumed at the start of the game, providing a much-needed boost for the initial hours to enhance their chances of survival. This thoughtful gesture lifted the spirits of the entire Wolverine militia, creating a more optimistic atmosphere.

Shortly after, the digital display overhead revealed that only a single hour remained before the commencement of the third round. At the same time, Captain Carter's voice echoed through the ship's intercom, calling all the players to gather on the top deck. of the cruise ship, where they would spend the final hour together in anticipation of the upcoming challenge.
