My different world is game mode.

Chapter 618: Entrustment of the Future

"Vivian, the personnel stationed at the Hive will be changing shifts tomorrow morning. Let's go back to the banyan tree forest together. You can pack up tonight."

Lindsay called Vivian and told her her plan.

Aside from the occasional mission, Vivian now stayed with Lindsay the entire time she was at camp.

The girl was already familiar with this way of being trained as an heir.

When she heard the plan, she just asked calmly:

"This time, we returned a few days earlier than last time."

"Is it because of Mr. Dune, or is there something urgent in the territory?"

Lindsay nodded and said:
"In just over a month, the Banyan Forest will be preparing to hold another sports meet, so we have to go there in advance to make arrangements. In addition, several other forces from the wasteland have recently chosen to join us, and it is not convenient to handle their acceptance ceremony here in the Insect Nest."

"Also, there are the sand dunes you mentioned."

At this point, Lindsay paused.

He stood on the fungal carpet, the green fluorescence made his face look a little scary:
"Vivian, do you remember what I said at the beginning about the purpose of our actions in this world?"

Vivian, whose face also turned green, nodded immediately:
"of course I remember!"

"You need to find an item with great vitality to repair the broken connection between the worlds!"

Lindsay then continued to explain:

"According to Dune, the land of the Green Swamp remains quite active, and there is no sign of Awakeners interfering with their skills. The explanation I prefer is that there is a treasure with such an effect there."

Hearing about the Green Swamp, Vivian's emotions, which had been suppressed since yesterday, could no longer be suppressed.

She clenched her fists and raised her head slightly.

Like a real kid, he asked Lindsay:
"Then...is there any news about my father?"

"And Brother Bull and Sister Fanny, they were all captured by the people of the Green Swamp before..."

Vivian's eyes flickered.

Lindsay patted the other person's head, calmed him down, and then continued:

“Here’s the good news.”

"The Green Swamp regards the Awakened as a very valuable labor force. Although they are treated like slaves, their lives are safe. In the future, when we defeat the Green Swamp, we can liberate your father and those friends!"

"..."

Vivian was visibly agitated.

But after getting the answer, the child quickly suppressed his emotions and instead thought about what a successor to a powerful faction should think:

"And what other news about the Green Swamp?"

"Given the current state of development of our territory, I'm afraid we are no match for them in a head-on confrontation."

Vivian was telling the truth.

Although the [Forest City] and [Zerg Mother Nest] are developing well, the Green Swamp has decades of accumulated power, and the strongest awakener in the world is also there.

Now is not the time for a head-on confrontation.

Lindsay said:

"It's not so bad over there. It takes time for the news to spread."

"The information Green Swamp has received so far is still about the situation in Banyan Forest. Even if we take into account the time it took Sand Dune to turn back, they probably just learned about our dispatch of the delegation at this time."

Vivian naturally concluded:
"That means that in half a year at most, a new crusade will be arranged?"

Lindsay shook her head again:

"No, we have more activities than half a year."

"According to the information obtained by Sand Dune, the real ruler of the Green Swamp has not appeared for a long time. His high-level awakeners dare not disturb the notorious Snake King. At present, they are just setting up their own camps in the Green Swamp and managing it according to the laws promulgated by the other party." "For an emerging force like us." At this point, Lindsay smiled rarely, "It will take at least a year and a half for them to go through many procedures before they can really send out troops to fight us!"

"Then..."

Lindsay looked at the fluorescent fungal carpet around him and sneered.

One year!
By then the Zerg population will reach 3000, completing the upgrade to the third-level civilization.

With the power of the Zerg, a true war machine.

In the wasteland where top-level power is almost scarce, it will probably be a situation where "how can you lose if a dragon rides on your face"?

Now Vivian also deeply understands the power and terror of Lindsay's skills.

As long as there is enough time.

The girl was not surprised at the outcome of the war.

So she returned to the original topic and focused the question on Lindsay's personal future direction:
"Mr. Lindsay, after you repair the connection between the worlds, will you immediately rush to the Dust Path World?"

Lindsay nodded in affirmation:

"To be precise, it is the City of Law, the Dust Path World. It is just one of the places I must cross."

Vivian could tell from Lindsay's tone that she was determined to leave!

The girl immediately panicked:

"But, Mr. Lindsay, you--"

Lindsay interrupted Vivian's hesitation:
"Vivian, the wasteland was once called the Mooncry Mountain World. It once had a prosperous civilization and happy people. But because of the war, this beautiful world has fallen into its current state."

As she spoke, Lindsay stepped forward.

He stepped on the fungal carpet, brought Vivian back to the ground, and walked out of the hive.

Finally standing at the entrance of the canyon, he pointed to the distant east:
"Look there."

"That's the real heart of the war, where all the tragedy happened."

"If we want tragedies like this one to never happen again in the Mooncry Mountain World, we must go straight to the source and deal with what's going on there!"

Vivian still wanted to try to keep him:
"But, but in this case, you should stay here and manage the territory with us. Your skills are so powerful, as long as we develop them slowly and work together..."

Lindsay shook her head again.

"Vivian, you are wrong."

"A true high-level awakener is completely different from an ordinary soldier. It's like the Zerg army is winning victory after victory, but once a sixth or seventh-level awakener emerges among the Deformers, all the advantages will be gone."

"By then, there will be no other way except for me to take a risk and try."

At this point, Lindsay paused.

He couldn't possibly say that he was developing the territory out of pity, or that he was helping him find something that could gather vitality, or some such nonsense.

Then Lindsay spoke of the cruel nature of the world:
"Although I don't want to admit the so-called heroism, in a world like this, if a person's ability is strong enough, it will affect everything."

Lindsay turned to look at Vivian.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the dim light fell just between him and the canyon.

Lindsay's tone was extremely serious, and it was the first time that she entrusted something to the girl in front of her:
"Vivian, the territory stays here. I can't take it away."

“It also has to be owned, managed and developed by reliable and trustworthy people.”

"Although Hammer and the others are also my right-hand men, they are born in the wilderness, and their personal views are objectively constrained by their age. People like Ryan have no cognitive problems, but they are too old."

"So no matter when or where, only young people like you are the future."
