He pointed to the corner next to the conveyor belt behind him:

"Here is a Teleportation Tree created by Ed, which is far superior to Gray's World Tree ornament."

"And most importantly--"

[ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] Correct Path:

"A strong impact is needed."

"Yes, that's the part I don't quite understand."

[ With Lion Hidden in the Eyes ], he raised his hand and asked:

What exactly constitutes a strong impact?

The [ Traditional Eccentric Wheel ] states:

"It could be an emotional shock stemming from the awareness of danger, or it could be a Psionic Energy shock..."

"In short, according to Bennett, the old guy who was treated as a wet component, the one who launched the attack shouldn't be us, but that powerful being sealed nearby."

"That guy, who might be the Grand Duke, needs to feel a threat from the outside world so that he can launch a conditioned reflex-like shock as a response."

According to Antasia, it already had a vague consciousness before Gray and the others encountered danger, but it quickly woke up to protect its friends, like suddenly realizing it was late when its consciousness was hazy...

"The point at which they regained consciousness was roughly when Gray and his group had attracted the attention of at least tens of thousands of Blood Corpse."

The players fell silent upon hearing this. After a moment of thought, [ Do Some Farm Work ] asked a crucial question:

"Have we attracted the attention of that sealed powerhouse yet?"

[ Lion Hidden in the Eyes ] approached the wall, used a modified periscope-like device to look at the top deck of the fortress, then shook his head at the others:

"We've been trapped for five or six days. The Blood Corpse that were supposed to leave have already left, and most of the Blood Corpse that weren't left have been captured. There are only twenty or thirty grotesque ones left on top."

"I don't think twenty or thirty Blood Corpse should be enough to attract that person's attention..."

[ The Good Times Don't Last ] After thinking for a moment, he said:

I have an idea-

"If we deal with the Blood Corpse on the top deck and then make a big commotion, is it possible to regain the Grand Duke's attention and trigger an impact?"

What big commotion are you planning?

"Hmm, how about we make a big fuss with gongs and drums?"

[ The Good Times Don't Last ] Looking at everyone:

"There are six of us. Consider it a funeral troupe hired by the other dukes for this occasion. Two will play the gong, two will play the drum, and we can keep two others to play some wind instruments..."

Performing this kind of work on someone who isn't dead can indeed cause intense emotional turmoil.

But how could the Grand Duke of the World of Disorder know about the situation in another world?

The plan, which Good Times Don't Last, was quickly rejected. The reason given was not only cultural differences, but also that they could only see twenty or thirty Blood Corpse on the deck at the bottom of the pit, and did not know whether the area outside the pit was already surrounded by Blood Corpse.

Opening the top-floor door rashly might immediately trigger a horde of Corpse Tide, so their operations had to continue within the narrow confines of the second floor.

After thinking it over, [ the Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] suddenly said:

"I think making a little noise is fine, it just doesn't have to be an actual commotion."

What do you mean by that?

Everyone looked at this lathe that had come to life.

"It could also be a Psionic Energy event, like Psionic Energy shock that has no real effect."

Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] gave a very apt example:

"Just like using exploding balloons and firecrackers to simulate gunfire, our Psionic Energy shock will produce nothing but the shock itself."

After thinking about it, everyone felt the suggestion was very constructive, so they asked the [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] who made the suggestion:

"So who can do this?"

[ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] A confident, prepared expression on his face:

"I actually know someone who's pretty good at Psionic Energy Compatibility..."

Half an hour later, the [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] appeared at the door of its Greenhouse.

[ The Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] immediately showed a delighted expression upon seeing its sister, who is also the boss, return:

"Ugh, these past two days have almost killed me, Xiaodeng, this lousy shop of yours..."

Before he could finish speaking, [ the Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ] pointed at him and said:

"I need your help with something important. Come with me."

"Ah?"

[ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] I thought my sister was coming to take over the shop, but I never expected her to be there to recruit me as a partner.

What about the shop?

"Emmm..."

Even the [ Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ], who was prone to acting on impulse, only then realized the problem. She hesitated for a moment and looked at her brother:

" Zhongdeng, it's time to leverage your connections!"

[ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] After browsing through my friends list for ages, I finally found someone who definitely had time...

[ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ]: "Hey bro, can you come help me watch the shop for a couple of days? I'll pay you."

[ Ever-Changing Master Ye ]: " The Greenhouse? No, no, I'm fishing here, I can't leave."

"Since you can't catch anything anyway, you might as well earn some extra money..."

"Are you going to curse me again?"

"It's just a fact. The last time you caught a fish was during that 'Cyber Lost' episode on the forum, right? It's been a week already..."

"... I think there are fish in the Rotting Corpse Dark Lake."

"Yes, but what does that have to do with you? Let others test the waters first. You can help me watch the shop for a couple of days. I'll pay you labor at market prices; that should be enough for you to upgrade your fishing gear."

"... hesitatingly."

Soon, a homeless man who looked like he had been living on the streets for a week appeared near the Greenhouse carrying a bag of fishing gear.

The reason [ Ever-Changing Master Ye ] was chosen is because [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] still remembers the incredible feat the other made a few months ago.

If it weren't for the time limit on the rat-catching mission, and the fact that there were indeed limited rats near Valhalla, he suspected that [ Ever-Changing Master Ye ] would become the first super-conglomerate in the World of Disorder to truly expand exponentially.

That lesson was indeed unforgettable, but it also made [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] realize that this person was a genius of Idea King.

In addition, he was quite familiar with both the brother and sister, so when he was looking for a shop assistant, he immediately thought of this reliable person.

With no worries about the future, [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ] quickly joined the "King of Fall Resistance, I Guess" team.

It's worth mentioning that ever since he emerged from the King of Fall Resistance, I Guess Teleportation Tree, the tree has lost its ability to recreate humans, becoming a one-way Teleportation Tree that can only exit but not enter.

The reason for this is simply a lack of nutrients. After printing three bodies, it is unable to continue producing limbs. Therefore, if new players are to join, one person must leave, leaving behind the body components.

However, this did not affect everyone's work. With the addition of the [ Chocolate Ice Cream Scoop ], they quickly began to discuss how to bring the sealed Grand Duke back to life.
