NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 80: Not Playing with You Anymore
After dealing with the Drow Elves, the greatest threat in this plane world was gone. Although there were still many black-backed spiders, they were no match for the group's units.
Despite the long-term exploration by the Drow Elves leaving few resources, even a dilapidated ship has some nails left. Plundering a plane world still yielded quite a bit.
The school didn't mind students collecting various resources, because for them, the plane itself was the greatest wealth.
Earlier, through the Worker Bees' perspective, Xu Luo saw many places in this world filled with piles of white bones, some half-buried, some even discarded on the ground.
Xu Luo guessed that this plane world originally had many species, and the world itself was probably larger.
But the Drow Elves were too numerous, consuming other species. Although their numbers were decreasing, the pressure for food was still great. Combined with species collapse and world degradation, their strength kept diminishing, which explained why there were many Tier 4 and 5 Drow Elves.
If this continued, both this plane world and the Drow Elves would likely be destroyed.
However, they were lucky that Demi-Gods exploring planes began to descend here.
The Demi-Gods were killed by the female elf, and their units became food for the Drow.
Without native inhabitants obstructing, the plundering speed was quick. Soon, the avatars of the other three commanded their units to join Xu Luo's Zerg.
"This plane is too weak. My Kobolds didn't even get to fight. I wanted to see their combat power!" Cha Lei complained as soon as they met.
He had just bought the Kobolds and wanted to witness their prowess, but everything ended before they could do much.
"Come on, if Xu Luo hadn't killed the main force of those Drow Elves, your Kobolds would have been sent to their deaths if they had charged in," Wang Xiaoling bluntly exposed him.
"It's a bit disappointing. We didn't gain much, just some resources. I was hoping to train the troops, but it ended so quickly!"
Combat wasn't just about increasing the followers' battle experience.
If it was just for that, many Divine Realm items could satisfy everything. There was no need to risk exploring plane worlds and bear unnecessary risks.
More importantly, in life-and-death situations, followers had a high chance of breaking through their limits.
And receiving help from their God during life-threatening crises helped increase the followers' faith level.
This was the most important aspect.
Other Gods needed to slowly raise their followers' faith levels, unlike Xu Luo who didn't need to worry about faith levels.
"Anyway, at least we didn't lose out this time. Let's go back!" Feng Xiaoxiao spoke softly.
"It was quite boring, ending before we could exert ourselves. No fun at all. Xu Luo, you're too strong!" Cha Lei wailed.
"It really wasn't satisfying. Why don't we go for another round? Or find a way to gather resources to open an intermediate plane world?"
Hearing Cha Lei's words, to be honest, Wang Xiaoling was a bit tempted.
After all, this plane world exploration was like going through the motions for them, just spectating the whole time.
If lower planes were like this, what about intermediate planes?
But thinking of the required resources, she shook her head and refused.
"The cost of opening an intermediate plane world is too high, and if Silver-tier creatures counterattack our Divine Realms, what would we use to defend? Let's wait a while."
These weren't the real issues. What truly worried Wang Xiaoling was that she had invited Xu Luo, and now they were talking about pooling resources to open an intermediate plane. How would that look?
He was just an ordinary student who had recently become first in the elite class, not receiving many rewards.
Gathering resources would be a significant burden for him. Wouldn't this be putting him in a difficult position?
As for not asking for his share?
They all came together, but not asking for one person's share, how would that make him feel?
Wang Xiaoling didn't want to ruin the friendship she had carefully cultivated.
So it was better to be straightforward and not go to intermediate plane worlds at all.
After all, their current strength was still quite inadequate for intermediate plane worlds.
After everyone agreed, they exited the plane world, first sending their units back to their own Divine Realms before disconnecting from the plane world.
Wang Xiaoling and the others thought that next time they wouldn't bring Xu Luo along. With him, they couldn't experience training their units, and there was basically no significant growth for their units. Naturally, they couldn't increase their faith levels either.
If this continued, it would be a waste of opportunities to use the plane battlefield facility.
So they decided to come by themselves next time.
Although Xu Luo was very powerful and could reduce their losses during invasions, not gaining growth wasn't what they wanted.
Units could only become strong through trials of blood and fire, and only then could faith become more firm.
Xu Luo, on the other hand, thought that lower planes were pointless and offered him no benefits. He wouldn't play with them next time.
He wanted to try intermediate plane worlds, but just opening one consumed two usage rights. With only two chances a month, he was a bit reluctant.
Should he ask Zhong Tianyue for permission?
This idea arose in his mind.
With his strength, exploring intermediate plane worlds was more than enough. If he asked him, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?
Ordinary people, even with Silver-tier units, wouldn't immediately go explore intermediate plane worlds because there were too many uncertainties, and the gaps between each level were even greater.
Just some Tier 1 or 2 Silver units encountering Tier 5 or 6, or even Tier 7 or 8 Silver units would be suicide, wouldn't it?
Although not all creatures in intermediate plane worlds were Silver-tier, the possibility of encountering Silver Tier 9 was already very dangerous. Generally, people would only explore after accumulating a certain amount of power.
However, Xu Luo was different. The strength he had shown previously already surpassed most students. Even if he wanted to explore intermediate plane worlds, it wouldn't be a problem.
It was precisely this confidence in his own strength that made Xu Luo believe he had a good chance of Zhong Tianyue agreeing if he asked.
After the four climbed out of their game cabins, they said goodbye and left the plane battlefield facility. None of them intended to explore again.
Given the situation in that world, even if they came a few more times, the result would be the same. So why bother?
Xu Luo was also happy with this. He originally came just to experience plane invasion.
Now it seemed alright. The gains were substantial, and the losses weren't big. It was indeed a method worth considering.
With his Zerg's current strength, invading intermediate plane worlds wouldn't be too difficult.
He had just done something big recently, so now he could lay low and plunder gene templates from these plane worlds instead.
