Chapter 959: Chapter 831: Wasted Combat Power

Hearing Kane’s words, Kreya also came over from behind Kane.

The few who were resting also shifted their attention to Kane.

Preparing to listen to what Kane had to say.

At this moment, Kane continued speaking.

"I have an idea and would like to get your opinions."

Gazing at the attention gathered from everyone.

"After these two explorations beyond the Mist, I’ve realized that our team has impressively advanced as a 5-person team to the tricolor level, which is quite rare."

Hearing Kane’s words, everyone glanced at each other with smiles.

But they also knew that what Kane wanted to say should be related to this.

"However, during these two explorations beyond the Mist, I’m sure you’ve realized that our way of exploration as a 5-person team is really too wasteful.

I’m curious about your thoughts."

Among the four, only Kreya had considered this problem, and she had discussed it with Kane, but no decisions were made at the time.

Hearing Kane’s words, Longbei and Meizike couldn’t help but start thinking.

As for Lilulu... Lilulu had no thoughts on this matter at all.

"Now that you mention it, thinking carefully, it does seem to be the case," Longbei couldn’t help but agree.

Even he, upon carefully considering these two explorations beyond the Mist, couldn’t help but feel the waste of combat power.

At this moment, Kreya, who was next to Kane, came over to sit with everyone and began to speak: "In two months, during our explorations beyond the Mist, we have explored countless deceased World Fragments, even exceeding 100."

"But among these, battles occurred and some monsters remained in fewer than five, and the intensity of the battles was very low. Thinking carefully, not a single one exceeded the gold level."

"The only living World Fragment we encountered had combat power merely at the silver level."

Hearing Kreya’s summary, everyone couldn’t help but nod their heads.

This was an undeniable fact and exactly their experience.

At this moment, Kane chimed in: "But what about us, with our 5-person tricolor-level combat power constantly acting as a team? Isn’t this somewhat too wasteful?"

"It’s very wasteful. If we divided into several groups, we might have even greater gains."

Even Longbei couldn’t help but agree and started speaking.

Meizike also nodded at this.

Seeing everyone agree on this, Kane smiled and nodded, then began to speak.

"So, I plan for the next exploration beyond the Mist, to divide our 5 people into three teams. This can significantly speed up our progress, improve efficiency, and won’t cause us much danger."

"5 people into three teams?" Meizike asked, puzzled.

It implied that someone would act alone.

Kane nodded and began explaining his thoughts on the team allocation.

"I plan to group Longbei and Meizike together. You two can perfectly complement each other, especially with Meizike’s various potions, ensuring you won’t encounter many unsolvable problems."

Hearing this grouping from Kane, the two looked at each other and nodded.

At the tricolor level, there were no excessively detailed classifications.

Longbei’s attack power, after having the Titan Bloodline, was completely adequate.

His ability to withstand was his greatest feature.

The only potential flaw might be his speed, which at the tricolor level could be described as slow in terms of safety.

But with Meizike’s potion assistance, this can be completely transformed, and wouldn’t be a weakness.

Meizike himself can also unleash strong attacks through potions, and possesses extreme speed.

The two can complement each other in most areas.

And Meizike is not lacking in knowledge of magic.

Then, Kane looked at the remaining Kreya and Lilulu.

"Next, Kreya and Lilulu, you two will be a team. You complement each other even more perfectly, able to handle almost everything. If you explore together, you’ll hardly encounter any significant danger."

After hearing Kane’s grouping, Lilulu flew directly onto Kreya’s shoulder, hugging her neck, laughing playfully.

At this stage, Kreya can both endure and fight, with speed not lacking at all, and can even summon large units to act.

As for Lilulu, there’s no need to say much. Her various strange magics are undefensible, and her knowledge of magic is completely proficient.

Then Kane pointed to himself: "Because of my various skills and my immense magic power, I plan to act alone. I can handle most problems even by myself, and even if I encounter danger, escaping won’t be an issue." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Hearing Kane’s self-praise, they all nodded in agreement, acknowledging that his words were indeed true.

Kane’s Creation Skill and his myriad peculiar skills, coupled with his surging magic power, make Kane a jack-of-all-trades within the team.

He’s able to temporally fill any role in battle.

This results in Kane not encountering any weaknesses when acting solo.

Especially after Kane mastered his new skill, Universal Energy, this became even more true.

Looking at his teammates, Kane smiled, knowing that his biggest reason for this grouping was because of Longbei and Lilulu.

Longbei’s Scouting Skills were not far, and his weaknesses were apparent, and Longbei tends to be reckless when acting alone.

This was a problem only recently discovered in battles, seemingly caused by emotions from his bloodline, amplifying his battle eagerness.

So someone is needed to cooperate beside him, and provide support in battles, as Longbei becomes calmer when he needs to protect his teammates.

As for Lilulu, there’s no need to mention, despite her strong power, she still has a child’s nature.

If she were to act alone, it might not be an issue in the short term, but over an extensive period, Lilulu is bound to create big issues for everyone.

Or her efficiency in actions might be extremely low due to her playfulness.

That’s why Kane arranged Meizike and Kreya to complement them respectively.

Both have stable personalities, a broad perspective, and extremely intuitive thinking.

Compared to combat strength, personality is Kane’s main consideration.

After all, their team is not lacking in fighting power.

Otherwise, Kane would definitely want to act together with Kreya.

"How is my allocation? Any objections?"

Upon hearing Kane’s words, the group all shook their heads, quite satisfied with this distribution.

Even if they were to allocate on their own, it would be like this.

Seeing everyone was quite content, Kane nodded and then said to Meizike, "During this preparation period, Meizike should prepare more potions and redistribute based on the grouping."

Upon hearing Kane’s words, Meizike nodded, indicating no problem.

He certainly has to prepare enough potions for everyone to prevent various accidents during grouped actions.

"Since we’re preparing for grouped actions, I have to prepare some things during this time. You guys keep training."

As the team leader and mechanician, Kane’s various machines play important roles in regular explorations. Now that they’ve grouped, he also needs to prepare for each group.

After speaking, Kane waved at the group.

Everyone nodded in agreement, chatting about the grouping matters.

Kane left the training ground, returning to the laboratory outside the City of Two Realms through the Guild Hall.

This is Kane’s personal laboratory, of course, usually, Funa and Star Symbol would occasionally use this laboratory for some experiments.

However, neither of them is in the laboratory now, as they are likely following the team, completing Mist commissions in other areas.

In the laboratory, Kane paced back and forth, while Yuyu followed at Kane’s feet.

Now that they’re acting in groups, as the leader, Kane needs to consider various situations for his team members.

First, each of them has an intelligent assistant.

Divided into three groups, the vehicles must also be prepared for them.

Simple land, sea, and air are the basic necessities.

No need for them to operate personally, as intelligent assistants will fulfill all sorts of vehicle operation needs.

Then comes communication.

That’s simple; Kane’s technology in communication has reached a very high level.

Through the study of beepers, Kane can ensure their communications are not intercepted or detected by enemies of colorful levels.

Even if intercepted or detected, only strange fluctuations are received, which can’t be understood.

The embarrassing incident where mutual communication was intercepted due to the pin relay remains fresh in memory.

Next is reconnaissance, during team actions, several intelligent cores for scouting hover over their heads.

These also need preparation; each must definitely be equipped with one.

As thoughts begin to scatter, Kane starts preparing based on various situations.

Ready to get hands-on, Kane stops, realizing he has about 10 days left, and working alone is too slow.

I am the King of the Platinum Country now, why must I do everything myself?

He then turns around, leaving the laboratory, heading to the laboratory below Zorolostan.

This is the main laboratory of the whole Platinum Country.

He takes the elevator directly to the bottom layer of the laboratory.

Present before Kane now are humanoid robots composed of various mechanics, each with their intelligence and personality.

Even as Kane’s eyes gaze over, he can see their soul’s sparkle and the energy group within them.

This represents that they are intelligent races acknowledged by the Mist.

With extensive development, the number of intelligent mechanisms has started to increase.

In the Platinum Country, most of these intelligent mechanisms occupy more important technical and knowledge positions.

Some are responsible for higher knowledge education.

The rest are mostly within this laboratory.

As the elevator stops, Kane immediately notices Kobokou in the distant core laboratory.

Kobokou at this moment is fully adorned in white paint and wears a simple white coat.

Feeling the sight from behind, he passes the data board to the next lab person and turns his head, just in time to see Kane approaching with a smile.

Blue data lines flash in Kobokou’s eyes, scanning Kane up and down.

"You seem to have reached higher levels, showing reactions of divine power. Have you ascended?"

Hearing Kobokou’s mechanical voice lacking much emotion, Kane almost stumbled.

He looked at him strangely and asked, "You’re just finding out?"

Kobokou’s information seems a bit outdated.

Upon hearing Kane’s words, Kobokou’s mechanical face remained expressionless.

"I haven’t been out for 532 days, 16 hours, 38 minutes, and 6 seconds, and when you last came to the lab, the same duration."

Listening to Kobokou, Kane showed an awkward smile.

"Is that so? I haven’t been here for so long."

As he spoke, Kane placed his hand on Kobokou’s shoulder, pulling him firmly into the lab.

"I mainly need your help and analysis for some matters."

As he spoke, he began discussing with Kobokou.

In the Platinum Country, Kobokou might be the only one capable of equal discussion with him regarding magic technology.
