Chapter 40 - The Temptation Of Power, The Hidden Danger!

nMcgee's message was sent out.
nAfter a while, Sister Irene replied.
n
"Mcgee, can you add some more things? 100 servings of sweet potatoes are too little.
"
n
"Little?
" Mcgee frowned and asked,
"How many people are gathered there?
"
nOne must know those sweet potatoes were very filling. Almost one sweet potato could feed an emperor for half a day.
n100 sweet potatoes were enough to keep Sister Irene's utopia in check for more than ten days.
nHow could it not be enough?
nSister Irene hesitated for a moment before sending a message.
"There are more than 60 people in total.
"
n
"What?
" Mcgee was stunned.
nThe corner of his mouth could not help but twitch.
nThis woman, was there something wrong with her?
nIn such a dangerous beast-taming world, so many people had gathered.
nThat was just suicide!
nAnd with so many people, how could they lack food?
nThey could have seven or eight people to form a hunting team and the same amount of people forming a team of farmers. Unless all of them were paralyzed or handicapped, the efficiency of gathering resources would be insane.
nHow could they be reduced to beggars!
nThis was something that Mcgee had never thought of.
n
"I'm very sorry, Mcgee! Most of them are very confused now. The wild beasts outside are very fierce. In order to come here, many people have already died. I don't want them to continue taking risks. I've decided to wait for God's instructions!
" Sister Irene said.
n
"God's instructions?
" Mcgee's mouth twitched, and he exclaimed in his heart,
"Good guy he is, huh!
"
nHe thought Sister Irene was just a kind-hearted rescue.
nSigh.
nHe did not expect her to start building a church in this world.
nSurprise, right?
nHappy?
nBullsh*t, right?
nThinking of this, Mcgee could not help but shake his head. He was completely disappointed with Sister Irene.
nKindness was not scary. What was scary was stupid kindness!
nMcgee sent a message.
n
"150 sweet potatoes and 150 water. This is my bottom line. No more negotiations,
" Mcgee said directly.
nHe did not want to have anything to do with Sister Irene.
nWhat a joke. Even Wall Street did not dare to take such risks.
nLet alone Mcgee!
nSister Irene also felt Mcgee's anger, so she could only accept it silently.
nThen, she seemed to have thought of something, so she replied again.
n
"Mcgee, I have an idea. I don't know if I can tell you.
"
n
"Idea?
" Mcgee was stunned. What kind of a good idea could she come up with? She must have taken a fancy to my resources and wanted me to join the utopia.
nAre you kidding me?
nMcgee rejected decisively.
"No.
"
nSister Irene's expression was ugly, but she still said,
"Mcgee, don't reject me yet. Let me finish.
"
n
"My idea is, can you join the utopia and be our leader? Lead us to build a better utopia and take in more lost believers.
"
nHearing Sister Irene's words, Mcgee was stunned.
nHe exclaimed in his heart,
"Good god, this is not asking me to join. This is asking me to fly with them.
"
nWhat kind of person do you think you are?
nCow?
nProviding free food for your utopia?
nGive me a break!
nSo Mcgee directly refused without thinking.
nSister Irene did not expect Mcgee's refusal at all.
nAfter all, there were more than 60 people here.
nSuch a huge force. Once Mcgee became their leader, he would definitely become the most powerful existence here.
nThen, she would gather more lost people and spread the faith in God here.
nHow could Mcgee not be tempted by such huge merit?
nMcgee's rejection disrupted Sister Irene's beautiful plan.
nSo she had to speak again.
"Mcgee, you don't know how high your reputation is here. Everyone expects you to be their leader and lead them to build a utopia. Once you accept, they will cooperate with you wholeheartedly. You don't have to worry at all.
"
nLooking at Sister Irene's words, Mcgee's eyes narrowed.
nPower!
nThis was a great idea.
nIn such a dangerous environment, having such power could definitely speed up his development.
nBut, Mcgee was not at ease!
nOn one hand, it was Sister Irene's idea. This utopian idea made Mcgee very worried. If Mcgee solved their survival crisis, his power would be easily overthrown by this group of people.
nOn the other hand, it was an unpredictable danger.
nThat's right. Mcgee still remembered the system's notification that the safe zone had ended. A monster would spawn around everyone's wooden house.
nIf the system's description was correct, then according to Mcgee's guess...
nThe system would increase the survival difficulty of all the Beast Masters at any time.
nAnd with so many people gathered in the utopia, what kind of terrible disaster would happen then?
nThinking of this, Mcgee could not help but feel his scalp go numb.
nOne had to know that the novice crisis at that time was a level five Berserk Dog.
nThis level five Berserk Dog had caused many Beast Masters in this world to die!
nIf the system raised the difficulty again next time, how strong would the monsters be?
nMcgee did not dare to imagine such a catastrophy.
nBut he knew that as time passed, the monsters provided by the system would become more and more terrifying.
nAt that time, the base would have too many people, and the disaster would only become more and more difficult to resist!
nAnd if they failed to resist, what awaited them would be a naked massacre!
n...
