There was no other way, so Zhang Xiaoman had to ask Xingzhi to close the shield first and let them in for the time being.
However, this was not an option in the long run. Not only would it be troublesome to restart the shield, it would also easily expose the location of Seven Star Island. He felt that it was necessary to expand the gang's population limit earlier.
After another trip to the StarNet host location and redeeming 3 copies of Stardust as backup, Zhang Xiaoman now has 33 points left.
In fact, it's not like he hasn't thought about arming Ye Cang and the others at once. 3 copies of Stardust will be used to increase the gang's population limit. The remaining 33 points can be converted into Stardust again and purchase 3 Starnet terminals. .
However, this idea was eventually rejected by him.
Now the main way for him to gain points is by killing monsters, and Ye Cang, Brother Haohan, and Lin Sisi basically have no fighting ability. If he has these points, it is better to upgrade first and strengthen his own strength.
And in order to save costs, Zhang Xiaoman changed the star chart that was originally intended to be given away for free, and it requires 10 contribution points to redeem it.
There is no way, it's not that he has a bad heart, but that he is too poor. Now Ye Cang and the three of them can no longer provide for themselves. There are 8 newcomers waiting to be fed soon. If he distributes one to each of them, If so, do you still need to upgrade?
Next, with the shield closed, Ye Cang and Brother Haohan should be able to use the Star Stone to teleport in. He stood there and waited for a while, and sure enough, he saw a figure appear in front of him with light.
It's Ye Cang.
At this moment, Mr. Ye was holding the Starry Stone in one hand and half raising the other hand in the air, looking at the surrounding environment with a stunned expression.
When he saw Zhang Xiaoman, he immediately realized what had just happened, and said with a touch of joy on his face:
"Star Master, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. I'm not very familiar with this thing. I tried several times before and all failed. That's why I've been delayed until now."
This was the first time for him to use the Starry Stone. He was not aware of the situation when he was blocked by the shield before. He thought he had made a mistake when carving the pattern.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded slightly at him, and just as he was about to say hello, he saw another burst of white light around him, and the figure of the good man also appeared in front of him.
"Huh? Success?"
The good man was also slightly startled, and then he found the two people standing next to him, walked over and said:
"Oh, Brother Man, you scared me to death just now. I have drawn it several times, but it just can't be transferred. I thought I accidentally dropped it yesterday and broke the stone."
Zhang Xiaoman's mouth twitched and he said helplessly: "Hero, if you break this stone, I won't be able to replace it for you for free. You will have to spend your contribution points to buy it."
The good man scratched his head and laughed: "Hey, isn't this okay? It won't happen next time. In fact, I feel that this thing is quite hard. It will definitely hurt when used as a brick to hit someone."
Zhang Xiaoman ignored this guy's nonsense, instead greeted Ye Cang and led them towards the underground base.
Along the way, he told them some things about the shield, and explained the reason why they couldn't teleport just now, but he ignored the upper limit of the gang's population.
"Oh, I see. It seems like this shield is really a good thing. It can be invisible and provide early warning. This makes me want to move here."
Brother Haohan showed a look of surprise, and then asked: "But Brother Man, we can't teleport with this shield, so what should we do in the future? If we want to come in, we have to get a car, right? Then Isn’t it troublesome?”
Zhang Xiaoman explained: "Don't worry about this. I'm debugging the shield. It won't be long before it can identify you independently. Then you can use teleportation. If I need you to come, The shield will be closed in advance."
"Then, what should I do if there is another emergency? You are in Daoli, and I can't get through even if I try to call you."
Zhang Xiaoman frowned: "This is a problem."
Ye Cang suddenly asked at this time: "Star Master, I wonder if there is a way to communicate across the gate of hell?"
"have."
Zhang Xiaoman clicked on the star chart in his hand and suddenly projected a three-dimensional interface onto the palm of his hand.
"This is the StarNet terminal, a must-have for every Star Alliance member. Its built-in communication system can ignore the magnetic field interference from the Gate of Hell."
When he suddenly saw this scene, Brother Hao's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he quickly shouted:
"Let me go! Brother Man, what kind of black technology is this? Holographic projection technology? Is it so powerful!? The watch you are wearing actually has this function. I never knew about it!!"
Even when Zhang Xiaoman explained some things about the StarNet terminal to the two of them, even Ye Cang, an old man in his nineties, felt very moved after hearing it.
"Ah, Brother Man! How much does this cost? I want one too!!!"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at him: "This is not a question of money. A StarNet terminal is worth 10 points of contribution, and you can't afford it yet."
His words were like a bucket of cold water being poured over his head, making the good man lose his voice immediately.
"Yeah, but Mr. Ye can buy it. Your current contribution value is already 40 points. It's enough to buy one."
Ye Cang pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and then asked: "Star Master, I wonder if I can use my contribution to deduct it for Little Friend Lu and buy him one too?"
Zhang Xiaoman was stunned, but still nodded.
"Of course you can."
The good man immediately raised his head after hearing this, and then thanked Ye Cang with excitement, and finally promised that he would earn his contribution and return it to him as soon as possible.
Zhang Xiaoman reduced Ye Cang's contribution by 20 points in the gang list, then went into the store to buy two Starnet terminals, and handed them one to each of them.
Several people had already entered the underground hall of the inheritance place. After getting the star chart, Brother Haohan and Ye Cang were initializing their identities.
However, what everyone did not expect was that the watches obtained by the two heroes only opened the basic personal information page and communication module, and the rest of the functions were locked.
It was only at this time that Zhang Xiaoman learned that if their gang membership status was not activated, they would still receive such restrictions.
"Brother Man, why is this happening? These functions are locked, and you can't even watch movies..."
"Ahem, hero, don't worry. As I said just now, the Star Network host has been initially successfully set up. It will take some time to perfect the identity recognition function, so don't be impatient."
