This game is so weird!

The next morning.

Colonel Hoffman, who had finished his meal early, along with Anya and Marcus, returned to the guild hall in the commercial district and sat in the conference room with Leon, who was still sleepy and had been woken up by the captain of the guard.

"Ha~"

Li Ang covered his mouth and yawned softly. He grabbed a freshly brewed cup of coffee from the table in front of Miley, who was sitting next to him, and drank it all in one gulp before he was fully awake.

He looked around at everyone present.

Representing the guild were Guild Leader Li Ang, Miley who had been promoted to Hall Manager and was responsible for liaising with COG to issue missions, and Xiao Yin, the garrison captain representing the base's defense forces.

Representing the Security Government Alliance were high-ranking military officials, including Colonel Hoffman, the intelligence chief and liaison officer stationed at the base, Anya, and Marcus, the representative of the elite squad.

Other clerks who would assist with the guild town's operations and the rest of Team D did not participate in this meeting. Firstly, the meeting content was quite confidential and not suitable for expansion. Secondly, the COG clerks had too much fun last night and were still enjoying the comfortable beds that players had printed out using recycled materials at the office.

The other three members of Squad D had woken up, but Bard and Cole weren't interested in the meeting and went to catch up with the new captain of the office—a former member of Squad A. As for Dom, ever since he heard that his wife's nomadic group had arrived around Hope Town and was preparing to join the Hope Town camp today, he got up early, washed up at the office, grabbed his beautifully packaged dress, and rushed out. He's probably waiting at the checkpoint at the base entrance now.

"Now that everyone is here, let's begin."

After looking around, Li Ang returned his gaze to Colonel Hoffman, "Regarding the cooperation plan after the Orcs' retreat, and the future development direction of Sera."

"Yes, we have some initial ideas regarding the cooperation plan. As for future developments, Chairman Li, what are your thoughts?"

Colonel Hoffman nodded slightly. As he spoke, Anya, standing beside him, skillfully operated the smart headset provided by the guild to project a document:

[Orc War Cooperation Plan]

Intelligence investigations revealed that the Orcs retreated underground after leaving the Jaxintu Plateau, and there were no traces of Orc activity on the surface except for a few resource points.

The Vianet government alliance is now planning a counter-offensive against the remaining Orcs on the surface to completely reclaim the Jaxintu Plateau; at the same time, it will begin exploring underground caves to find and clear out Orc lairs, and investigate the Orc Queen's new hiding place to provide intelligence for subsequent elimination efforts.

Detailed information: ...

Compared to the endless documents and meetings on Earth in my previous life, the Security Government Alliance, which has been in a state of war for a long time, is much more pragmatic. It explains the core of the cooperation at the beginning, and then provides various supplementary data and information. There are no chapters on background review or significance of the plan.

Li Ang quickly reviewed the cooperation plan, nodded, and said, "The counterattack plan... because we don't have many explorers who came with us, we probably won't be able to continue after clearing out the orcs near the mining area."

"Once the mining area is recaptured, apart from the one or two nearby Im Energy mines and refineries that we plan to retain for experimentation, the others will likely need to be taken over by our comrades in the Alliance. We don't have enough manpower to utilize them, and..."

Li Ang paused, and only continued after seeing Anya breathe a sigh of relief: "Besides, we're also preparing to go back. The guild on Scar Star has just been completed, and there are still many things to resolve."

"And here..."

Anya's anxious voice stopped abruptly at Colonel Hoffman's signal. Although the voice stopped, the three COG members present frowned slightly, and even Miley turned to look at Leon with some nervousness.

"Oh, don't worry, this doesn't mean we're leaving Sera for good and abandoning our humanitarian aid efforts here."

Li Ang waved his hand, signaling everyone to relax. "Our guild and some explorers will remain here, and the guild, restaurant, and farm will continue to operate."

"It's less of a departure and more of a transformation and upgrade."

"We will develop more vertical farms and food processing plants, and even plan to build medical facilities and product lines to help Seraphim recover to normal more quickly."

Li Ang chuckled and said, "However, we are also responsible for exploring the planet of scars. The inspection is about to begin, so I need to go back and do some preparatory work in advance."

At this point, Li Ang pointed upwards, "This way we can apply for better equipment and technology to help everyone."

"call--"

Hearing this, Anya let out a long sigh of relief.

Listening to what she just said, her emotions were fluctuating so much that I felt like my head was about to explode.

"After you leave, will the guild's warriors continue to assist us?"

Marcus's slightly furrowed brow remained furrowed. Compared to the help of production technology, he was more worried about the increased casualties in special missions due to the departure of the guild's elite combat force.

After comparing several days, what impressed him most was that group of highly skilled and fearless explorers.

People like Ye Yu, Mu Yu, and even Hei Ya and his brother "Black Cat" left a deep impression on him.

Li Ang considered it from his own perspective as a gamer back then and felt that compared to going back to a leisurely life of exploration and construction, some players would still be willing to stay and continue to face the trials of iron and blood.

"Some explorers should be willing to stay and participate in subsequent missions, including underground exploration missions. Please rest assured about that."

"In case of any emergency, you can also contact us through the guild, and we will arrive as soon as possible."

As for the rapid proliferation and switching transfer achieved through biological cultivation chambers and biological carriers, Li Ang did not intend to tell them. Otherwise, it would be bad if the Wei'an Government Alliance set its sights on him before the beastmen were even eliminated.

The three members of the Security Government Alliance felt a mix of joy and worry about this situation.

There was no threat of alien invasion or colonization, and some assistance was lost, but overall Colonel Hoffman was quite satisfied, at least the expected plans were confirmed.

After the talks concluded and all participants signed the new cooperation agreement, Colonel Hoffman hurriedly headed to the airport to prepare to go to the front lines and personally organize the counter-offensive.

While passing by the guild hall, I successfully completed a registration and picked up a smart headset that looked very useful and facilitated communication.

On the other side, Li Ang also hurriedly left the conference room, preparing to go back and catch up on his sleep... to arrange the version update plan.

Only Anya and Marcus remained. Led by Miley and Silver, they arrived at the lobby. Following Anya's recommendation, Marcus also prepared to register his identity and receive his Explorer's Certificate and smart headset.

At that moment, Leah, who was sitting on a chair in the lobby, suddenly jumped to the ground, bought a synthetic flower from a vending machine, and ran to Marcus.

Holding up the small flower, he excitedly exclaimed, "Uncle Marcus!?"
