Chapter 265 First Steps into the Exchange Secret Realm



Chapter 265 First Steps into the Exchange Secret Realm

Mo Ming stood in the center of the shelter's courtyard, his gaze sweeping over the people in front of him.

These were none other than the captains of the Black Gold Guard Regiment and the Logistics Support Regiment.

Without any further preamble, Mo Ming cleared his throat and said directly, "The main reason I've called you all here is to arrange the tasks for the coming week."

I'll be away for a week to participate in a secret realm exploration. This realm is open to all survivors, and I estimate most will go, but we can't let our guard down. The safety of our territory rests in your hands.

He paused, his gaze falling on Duoduo, who was sitting to his right. Duoduo was the captain of the medical team, the head of the logistics support group, and the most capable person in the territory at handling affairs. She was calm, meticulous, and always reliable.

Mo Ming nodded and continued, "Duo Duo, for the next week, you will be in charge of all logistics and affairs, big and small, in the entire territory. I have a few specific requirements for you, please take note."

Duoduo immediately took out her notebook and nodded in response, "Understood, please go ahead."

"First, you need to develop a reward and punishment system, a task system, and a contribution value exchange system."

The core of this system is to award contribution points based on everyone's contribution to the territory or the completion of tasks. These contribution points can then be used to exchange for resources.

For example, food, medicine, weapons, equipment... even some special materials. The specific exchange rates and details can be determined when I return, but in this week, please create a framework and make sure everyone understands the basic rules of the system.

Duo Duo frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Okay, I will come up with a preliminary plan as soon as possible, and then refine it after you come back."

Mo Ming nodded in satisfaction, then turned his gaze to the captains of the Black Gold Guard Regiment.

His tone became slightly more serious: "Next is the arrangement of patrol missions. I have already divided the patrol missions around the territory by region, and they will be distributed to the eight squad leaders later."

You are responsible for arranging the specific patrol routes, times, and personnel, but you must ensure the security of the surrounding area, especially the border region, without any oversights.

The captains of the eight squads nodded in unison and replied, "Understood!"

Mo Ming continued, "I will have the pets stationed in your defense zone to assist you in your defense."

Remember what happened to the Sixth Division last time? That time, the defenses in the defensive zone weren't strong enough, and the enemy almost got through. We absolutely cannot make the same mistake again. The pets will be stationed in different areas according to your arrangements.”

Upon hearing this, Lala, the captain of the Sixth Division, blushed slightly, but she quickly straightened her back and solemnly said, "Don't worry, boss, there won't be any mistakes this time!"

Mo Ming nodded, his expression relaxing slightly. His gaze swept over everyone again, his tone carrying a hint of caution: "I'll be away for a week this time."

Although this secret realm is open to all survivors and most people will go there, we still cannot let our guard down.

Your main concerns are the ferocious beasts both inside and outside the island, and the masked men in the primeval forest.

Upon hearing the words "Ghost-Faced Man," everyone's expression turned grave. He was one of the culprits who had destroyed their homes.

Mo Ming said in a deep voice, "With Xiao Jin and Shang Shang on the front, the masked men can't get close, but they are best at exploiting gaps. So you must be vigilant, especially when patrolling at night. Don't let your guard down. The eight squads must cooperate with each other and keep communication open."

Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

Mo Ming nodded, then turned his gaze back to Duo Duo, his tone softening slightly: "Duo Duo, there's one more thing I need your help with. Before I leave this time, could you please refine a few more pills for me?"

"I'll make as many pills as possible—for treating internal injuries, external injuries, detoxification, and everyday necessities. I want to take them with me."

Duoduo smiled gently, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, leave this to me. When are you leaving?"

"In 22 hours."

Mo Ming looked at everyone and said finally, "Alright, that's all I have to say. For the next week, the safety and development of the territory will depend entirely on you."

After saying that, he turned and left the courtyard.

Back in his bedroom, Mo Ming closed the door, and the room instantly fell silent. He sat on the edge of the bed, took a deep breath, and mentally reviewed every detail he had just been instructed to make sure nothing was missed. After confirming everything was correct, he leaned back in his chair and quietly waited for the secret realm to open.

While waiting, Duoduo also delivered the pills she had prepared to Mo Ming.

Time ticked by, and the countdown on the bracelet neared its end. With just one minute remaining before the secret realm opened, the bracelet emitted a notification sound. Mo Ming glanced down at the bracelet; a notification appeared on the screen: "The secret realm is about to open. Please prepare."

He tapped the notification, and a "Secret Realm Teleportation" button appeared on the screen. Mo Ming took a deep breath, and as the countdown ended, he gently tapped the button. The next second, a dazzling white light shot out from the bracelet, instantly enveloping his entire body.

The white light grew brighter and brighter, and Mo Ming felt his body enveloped by a powerful force, as if he were being pulled into an endless vortex. His vision gradually blurred, and he heard gusts of wind in his ears, as if he were traversing endless space.

After an unknown amount of time, the white light finally dissipated. Mo Ming slowly opened his eyes and found himself standing on a vast grassland.

Before me stretched an endless expanse of green. A gentle breeze rustled the blades of grass, and the air was filled with a fresh scent. In the distance, the sky was a clear, deep blue, and a few birds soared across the horizon, their calls ringing out melodiously.

Mo Ming glanced down at his bracelet and saw a line of text displayed on it: "Welcome to the Exchange Realm."

When I opened my friends list, they were grayed out?

Mo Ming immediately went through all the pages on the bracelet and found that everything except the countdown and the secret realm map was disabled.

Mo Ming felt a chill run down his spine. "This secret realm seems more bizarre than I imagined."

I'm not sure if the parser will work. I need to find something to test it.

Gazing at the vast green grassland, Mo Ming began to wander aimlessly.

He glanced around, a hint of nonchalance in his eyes. He didn't really know which way to go, so he simply swayed with the wind like a dandelion.

Just as he casually kicked away a small pebble, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a strange color.

It was a small flower growing in a patch of lush green grass. The flower was not large, only the size of a palm, but it looked incredibly unique.

This flower has only one petal, which has a strange semi-transparent texture and a faint fluorescent glow, as if it is shimmering with some kind of mysterious radiance in the sunlight.

"Huh? What kind of flower is this? Why does it only have one petal?"
