“Since the entry is based on sequence, it’s easier to manage,” Su Yu murmured.

Zhong Feng continued to add, “Another point, Shepherd in the Clouds is currently at the mid-level of First Order, I’ve just reached Second Order, Su Yu, what about your strength?”

Because Su Yu’s level was higher than his, Zhong Feng could not discern how much strength Su Yu had.

“My strength is about at the peak of Second Order,” Su Yu answered.

“Hmm, this confirms one of my speculations,” Zhong Feng said, propping his chin, “It seems the secret realm has directly pressed our strength down by five ranks.

You’re a Seventh Order peak, but your strength is compressed to the peak of Second Order;

I’m a Seventh Order low rank, and my strength is compressed to a low Second Order;

Shepherd in the Clouds is a Sixth Order middle rank, and his strength is compressed to the middle of First Order…

Following this pattern, those below Fifth Rank could very well be compressed to ordinary humans.”

Zhong Feng’s observations were thorough, which is why he could bring out these two critical pieces of information.

Su Yu nodded, “From this point of view, even my strength at two Orders is somewhat of a small advantage.”

The power at the peak of Second Order was more than enough to take on a hundred ordinary people in fishing, definitely a much larger advantage than those adventurers compressed to ordinary humans.

This advantage must be utilized well.

After discussing this, Su Yu got to the main point, “By the way, did you fully understand the rules of the secret realm?”

“I understand them,” Zhong Feng nodded.

The two didn’t consider themselves outsiders, sitting on the leather seats meant for hosting guests inside the house.

After sitting down, Zhong Feng continued, “This secret realm is essentially a race.

We need to catch fish to earn Shell currency, while also spending Shell currency to increase our fishing efficiency.

Unfortunately, the tools available for exchange don’t clearly list the values for improving fishing efficiency; otherwise, with a simple equation, we could calculate the optimal solution for passing through.”

“Yes, the optimal solution for a 14-person version,” Su Yu reminded, “Unless absolutely necessary, we won’t abandon any of our compatriots.”

“Yes,” Zhong Feng sighed slightly, “it’s manageable with one person, but to get over half the spots for 14 people, the difficulty is indeed a bit high.”

Su Yu handed over the exchange list he had just written to Zhong Feng.

Zhong Feng took the list of exchanges and focused on the numbers, apparently starting to calculate the optimal solution.

“Zhong Feng, I still have one last question,” Su Yu continued to ask,

“Have you considered this problem—we now have nothing, how do we earn our first pot of gold? Moreover, now that we only have the strength of up to Second Order, we must eat and drink. Our first priority is to secure food to stay alive, and then we can think about other things… By the way, are you hungry right now?”

“Er, a little hungry,” Zhong Feng answered.

Earlier, he was either observing his surroundings or immersed in thought, not paying much attention to whether he was hungry.

Now that Su Yu asked, he immediately felt his stomach grumbling with hunger.

Low Rank cultivators still need to eat, which really is troublesome.

Su Yu stood up and said, “I’ll go try to find something to eat; you wait here for Miss Yun to come out.”

“Okay,” Zhong Feng nodded.

But he quickly reminded, “Su Yu, remember not to do anything like stealing that goes against the rules, or God might discover it and we could be penalized in Shell currency.”

“Understood,” Su Yu waved his hand and got up to leave.

Zhong Feng then returned his gaze to the exchange list.

However, halfway there, Su Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Zhong Feng noticed Su Yu had stopped and looked up at him, “What’s up?”

“It’s like this,” Su Yu turned back and said, “According to the current pattern, the main matron is seeing one person every 5 minutes, right?”

“That’s correct.”

“Then how about this? After Miss Yun comes out and you’ve debriefed her, have her stay while you go out to find food and also mingle with the little Blue People in the village.

About 70 minutes later, after the main matron has seen all the Blue Star People, we’ll meet in front of this house for a meeting to discuss the following plans. What do you think?”

“That works. It won’t waste time,” Zhong Feng agreed after a moment’s thought.

However, he soon put forward his own suggestion, “Let Miss Yun go out to look for food after she comes out. I can stay here throughout.

Because letting each following player stay in turn might lead to miscommunication during the message relay, such as wrong times and so on.

Besides, if I stay here, I can also squeeze in some time to work out the best solution.”

“Alright, you do what you see fit!”

Time was of the essence, Su Yu waved farewell to Zhong Feng and rushed out of the house.

For this secret realm, they had to make the most of every second because every moment they delayed could mean the loss of a member.

What Su Yu was actually most concerned about was that kind of situation happening, where adventurers sacrifice themselves for the sake of others.

For instance, in this secret realm, if two White-Headed Eagles joined and, after some effort, each obtained 500 Shell currency.

But by then, the quantity of “Sun Essence” left would be minimal. If things continued this way, neither of them would be able to leave the secret realm.

In such a case, one White-Headed Eagle might choose to sacrifice itself, giving up its 500 Shell currency to let its companion leave.

If such a situation happened only once or twice, it would be manageable.

But if it happened frequently, the Blue Star Humans would have no choice but to sacrifice some members to let others leave.

Su Yu absolutely didn’t want to see any of his companions die here.

To ensure everyone could leave safely, they had to race against time; not even a second could be wasted.

Therefore, Su Yu left the main matron’s house as quickly as possible.

…

But after leaving the house, upon seeing the peaceful little village outside the door, Su Yu suddenly felt a bit lost.

Where could he find food without stealing?

Back in his university days, he had watched a variety show about dropping a person into a city with no ID to see how they would survive.

But a city was nothing like this little village.

In a big city, one could visit large supermarkets where there were many opportunities to sample snacks and fruits, or if worst came to worst, one could sneak into a wedding banquet at a large hotel and eat the leftovers.

But in this small fishing village, finding food was incredibly difficult!

Moreover, they were First and Second Order cultivators with huge appetites, requiring several kilograms of food per meal, which was more than just casual charity from the villagers could satisfy.

“What should I do?” Su Yu’s mind raced in circles.

…

After some thought, he made a decision—to first find Jenny.

Jenny held a high status in the village and was very knowledgeable about everything there.

Perhaps she could provide a way to get food!

As it happened, Jenny was just escorting the next Blue Man towards the main matron’s house.

Su Yu simply stood in place, waiting for her to come out again.
