End of Days Game: I'm the Only One Who Can See the Hidden Cues - Chapter 196

Chapter 196: Focused on Eliminating Monsters
While the Lannisters were busy planning their next moves, Jeremy and his friends were not idle either.

After Howard left Moonlight City to head to the capital, Jeremy immediately gathered his friends together.

“Although General Howard has already departed, the plan we devised with him should not be put on hold. Before leaving, General Howard issued orders to his subordinates, and they will cooperate with our actions.”

Jeremy spoke earnestly to the few companions standing before him.

“What we need to do is actually not that complicated, and Bonnie and Ritchie are already very familiar with it. So, Emma and Claire, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them directly.”

Jeremy was laying out a plan to cooperate with General Howard’s subordinates to partition the industrial district.

After the initial actions, General Howard’s subordinates, with the cooperation of Jeremy and his team, had already deployed three different watchtowers in the industrial district.

Moreover, the construction personnel among Howard’s subordinates had connected the three separate watchtowers with partition walls. The industrial district was effectively divided into three isolated areas.

The specific actions Jeremy and his team were to undertake next involved collaborating with Howard’s subordinates to further divide the industrial district.

Once Jeremy finished explaining his plan, he set out with his friends.

This time, they were heading to the industrial district by helicopter provided by Howard’s subordinates.

After all, deploying watchtowers in a monster-infested industrial district necessitated the use of helicopters. Additionally, once the watchtowers were deployed, someone had to ensure their security.

Thus, Jeremy and his companions had to act in tandem with the helicopters deploying the watchtowers.

Upon arriving at the industrial district, Jeremy divided his companions into three separate groups.

Given Jeremy’s considerable strength, he decided to operate alone. He took on the responsibility of deploying watchtowers in the most perilous areas, in coordination with Howard’s subordinates.

Bonnie and Emma formed one group. Bonnie’s strength and abundant combat experience ensured that she could provide ample support and security during their missions.

Ritchie and Claire constituted another group. Although Ritchie was quite strong in combat, he tended to panic during crises, making Claire’s presence essential.

Naturally, the groups of Bonnie and Emma, as well as Ritchie and Claire, were assigned to less dangerous areas for watchtower deployment with Howard’s subordinates.

Thus, the entire team split into three distinct groups and commenced their respective missions.

This strategic division significantly increased the efficiency of the watchtower deployment compared to previous efforts.

In merely about two days, Jeremy and his companions successfully managed to partition the outermost areas of the industrial district into smaller sections that could be gradually cleared of monsters.

After completing the preliminary segmentation of the industrial district, Howard’s subordinates ceased their operations.

During the previous missions, several of their helicopters had been damaged. Moreover, all the watchtowers needed for the partition had been exhausted.

At least half a month would be required for the production of additional watchtowers.

After Howard’s subordinates departed, Jeremy turned to his companions with a smile.

“Now that all the unnecessary personnel have left, we must proceed with what we ought to do. As awakeners, our duty is to eliminate the monsters.”

Having said this, Jeremy immediately dashed towards a section inhabited by two monsters of level 50 and above.

Jeremy’s objective was straightforward—he aimed to clear all the monsters in the designated small area as swiftly as possible.

Although monsters above level 50 are exceedingly challenging to deal with, Jeremy’s current gear is exceptionally luxurious.

The Longsword of the Undying proves to be immensely effective when confronting monsters around level 50.

After Jeremy set off, both Bonnie and Ritchie promptly headed towards an area inhabited by a single monster above level 50.

While they both aspired to level up as rapidly as Jeremy, they had a certain degree of self-awareness regarding their own capabilities.

They understood that prevailing against two monsters above level 50 was entirely out of the question for them. Hence, they opted for areas with slightly lower difficulty.

Claire and Emma did not undertake any solo missions.

Each of them, instead, joined forces with Bonnie and Ritchie respectively to commence their operations.

Although this approach would result in a reduced share of experience points, it was undoubtedly the safest course of action.

If they ventured into perilous areas or acted alone in pursuit of more experience points, they ran the risk of being obliterated by the monsters.

Everyone, during the course of their actions, concentrated all their efforts on exterminating the monsters.

Thus, in less than a day’s time, Jeremy managed to clear all the monsters in his designated area. Consequently, his level successfully reached 49.

After reaching level 49, Jeremy no longer felt the urgent need to hastily increase his level.

This was because he needed to first locate the class change goddess, Janna, as he would be required to undergo his third class change upon reaching level 50.

Regarding the third class change, Jeremy still possessed only limited information.

Jeremy chose to rest directly at the entrance of the industrial district.

He did not leave, as he needed to ensure the safety of the others. After waiting for approximately one to two hours, the other four finally emerged from their respective battle zones.

Bonnie and Ritchie, though their faces showed signs of fatigue, were in exceptionally good spirits.

This was because, after an entire day of combat, they had significantly leveled up.

Bonnie’s current level had already reached 39, while Ritchie’s level had also climbed to 38.

It wouldn’t be long before both of them broke through to level 40.

Although Claire and Emma hadn’t accumulated as much experience, their levels were also fast approaching 30. Upon reaching level 30, both of them would also be required to undergo a class change.

Seeing that everyone had safely emerged, Jeremy smiled and said,

“It seems your efficiency was quite high. I originally thought I would have to wait until late at night for you to finish your battles.”

With a smile on her face, Bonnie responded.

“Although our strength isn’t as formidable as yours, as your companions, we must also demonstrate our own value.

How much loot did you acquire during your battles? We only managed to get some lower-level skill books and gemstones, we didn’t find any weapons.”

As Bonnie said this, she not only looked at Jeremy but also glanced at Ritchie.

Ritchie shook his head slightly, a hint of disappointment in his expression.

“I only managed to acquire some low-level gemstones, I didn’t even get a single low-level skill book. It seems my unlucky streak is something I can’t shake off.”

Upon hearing Ritchie’s words, Jeremy, Bonnie, and the others burst into laughter.

After chuckling for a moment, Jeremy said.

“In reality, you’re not all that unlucky. I’ve encountered some Awakened who, after defeating monsters higher in level than themselves, received no rewards at all. Compared to them, you’re quite fortunate.”

Upon hearing these words, the expression on Ritchie’s face grew even more grim.

“You still haven’t mentioned whether you received any valuable rewards!”

Ritchie hastily changed the subject.

He certainly didn’t want his unlucky streak to be a continued source of amusement for everyone else.

Jeremy shook his head and said, “My haul actually isn’t much different from yours. I didn’t get many valuable rewards either.

However, my level has already reached 49. I need just one more level to hit 50 and undergo my third class change. Because of this, I won’t be rushing into battles anytime soon.

I must carefully consider which class I want to change into for my third class change before leveling up to 50. Once I hit level 50, I will immediately enter the class change state.

If I can’t decide on my new class and talents in a short period, the system might deem that I don’t need a class change. This would be a huge loss for me.”

Jeremy’s remarks rendered both Bonnie and Ritchie utterly astonished.

Even though they knew Jeremy was much stronger than them, they couldn’t have imagined he was so close to reaching level 50.

Ritchie quickly said to Jeremy, “I think you’re absolutely right to be cautious. One must be fully prepared before undergoing a class change. I made the mistake of not selecting my new class properly during my class change.”

“This has led me to only being able to manipulate shadows in battle. If it weren’t for the Ravager’s Gloves you gave me, my combat effectiveness would be incredibly weak.”

What Ritchie said was undoubtedly the truth, he had indeed always regretted changing his class to that of a shadow manipulator.

However, Jeremy did not see it that way.

Jeremy believed that Ritchie’s current skills and talents were perfectly suited to him as an individual.

“I think you shouldn’t regret it. Your natural inclination is to excel at ambushing others from the shadows.”

As soon as Jeremy finished speaking, Bonnie, Emma, and Claire burst into loud laughter.
