Chapter 196: Give Up on Yourself
Without the blueprints, Mcgee could not continue to strengthen the castle’s defenses.
Mcgee spent the entire day making traps.
As winter came to an end, the moat also came into play.
With the deployment of long-range attack familiars above the city walls, together with the defense tower, they should be able to eliminate most of the close-combat type familiars in the first place.
However, the main threat still came from his flying familiars.
He counted the flying familiars in his home. Apart from his Gale Bird, there were three other wind-type familiars.
Apart from that, his spider also had a miraculous effect on his flying pet.
Moreover, with the presence of two wind-type experts, the Wyrm Dragon, and the Gale Bird, it would not be easy for his flying pet to break through the defense line of the castle in one go.
However, the people and familiars who originally lived near the castle had to be recalled back to the castle.
“I didn’t expect that a simple wooden house could actually become so big.”
Mcgee felt a sense of accomplishment as he looked at the castle.
On the land outside the castle, members of Mcgee’s home were laying explosives on the ground.
These were serial explosives that Mcgee had modified. If there were too many familiars, he could detonate all the explosives buried underground and blow them up in one go.
For familiars above level 12, the power of the explosion might not be of much importance.
But it was also a good thing that it could cause them some trouble.
After deploying everything, Mcgee lay on his bed and opened the world’s chat system.
The chat channel today was very quiet. The people who usually liked to brag were not there.
There was still a day to prepare. The Blood Moon attack was coming. Of course, no one was in the mood to chat right now.
Other than those who were attached to other people’s territory.
Or those who had already let go and waited for death.
[Everything will be over by the end of tomorrow.]
[Is there no season after that?]
[No, I mean I’m finished.]
[Oh…]
Pessimistic voices spread throughout the world channel. According to the original game method, the players would gradually become stronger, and the elimination rate would not be too high.
Who knew that the third season would bring about an ice age.
Originally, the ice age had been a good time for everyone to shrink their hair.
However, the season guardian had been taken care of by someone else in an instant.
They had thought that the ice age would lead a good life in the past, but the system had told them that the familiars in the Blood Moon siege this time were all level 11 and above.
It was hard not to feel despair for ordinary players.
[Who told you to survive in this world for so long without even a level 12 familiar?]
[You talk as if you have one?]
[I don’t, but my boss does.]
[You guys have legs to cling to, but I don’t.]
Mcgee could not stand it anymore, and he asked.
[If you have time to gossip, you might as well use it to prepare.]
The destruction of their home was a sure thing. However, Mcgee found that most people who lost their homes only lost their strengthening abilities.
It did not mean that they had to die with their home.
[Big brother Mcgee?]
With Mcgee’s words, the world channel became lively again.
In fact, there were many people who were in a daze, but they did not want to talk.
Now that Mcgee had spoken, they joined in the conversation.
[There are a total of over 300 players on the leaderboard now.]
[If you want to live, you still have to cling to the thigh.]
Since yesterday, all the big shots on the leaderboard had stopped speaking.
They were all preparing for the disaster tomorrow.
Mcgee did not know how to comfort them.
[If you really can’t get through, come find me.]
Mcgee sent the address of his home to the public screen.
This was the second time he had exposed his location in the entire world.
After Mcgee sent the message, he shut down the system and lay on his bed, thinking about something. Then, he fell asleep.
There was still one more day before the Blood Moon’s attack arrived.
Mcgee’s stamina was almost recovered, and he was about to go find Zhao Ling Er to get his Imperial Dragon Armor back.
In the end, the Gale Bird sent him a message.
“There are a lot of beastmasters parked at the entrance of their homes. They seem to be looking for you.”
Mcgee came to the top of the castle.
Looking out, it was like a bazaar. There were at least a hundred people surrounding the castle.
“Big brother Mcgee!”
When they saw Mcgee appear in the castle, they all began to greet him.
It was their first time seeing the number one expert on the leaderboard in real life, and they were very excited.
“You guys are…”
Mcgee was a little at a loss. Yesterday, he really lamented that everyone’s life was not easy, so he sent a notice to the world channel.
He did not expect so many people to really come.
“We didn’t come empty-handed. I brought food and medicine.”
“I also brought precious weapons!”
People were talking at the same time.
It was not a problem for Mcgee’s home to accommodate so many people, but people were unpredictable. Previously, Mcgee did not even dare to bring the Giant Frost Apes to his home because he was afraid that they would form their own organization.
Then, he used various reasons to oppose Mcgee’s management style.
Actually, Mcgee was not a person who had a desire for power. It was just that human nature was the most unpredictable thing in the world.
Mcgee was a little hesitant. He looked at the other members in his home.
“Don’t look at me. This is your home.”
“We will support whatever decision the boss makes.”
…
After thinking for a moment, Mcgee waved his hand from the windowsill of the castle. Then, the noisy crowd below quieted down.
He really felt like he had become a king.
“I said yesterday that I welcome everyone to join my home. Naturally, I won’t exclude everyone.”
The people below all breathed a sigh of relief.
Because if Mcgee refused them, they would have to rush back to their homes. There was absolutely no time.
“But, you have to understand one thing. Joining your home means that you have lost your ability to strengthen yourself further.
“You will become ordinary people living in this world.
“Are you mentally prepared?”
It was not easy to come to the world of familiars, but in the end, you still lived as cowardly as before. It was probably not what people wanted.
After a moment of silence, a rough-looking man stood out from the crowd. His familiar was just like him, a wolf that was blind in one eye.
He said in a loud voice, “We’ve thought it through long ago. We have no hope of fighting for the right to live in the end.”
“One more day is one more day.”
Actually, what he said was what everyone was worried about. If it was a chicken-eating game, there could only be one winner in the end.
If they all submitted to Mcgee.
Mcgee became the last player. Did he have the right to decide the life and death of the others?
Would they be satisfied then?
But then again, if they did not submit to Mcgee, they would not be able to survive the disaster tomorrow.
“If everyone trusts me, I will do my best to bring you guys to live the longest.”
Mcgee could only give such a level of promise.
