115: Chapter 13 Rebirth Island 115: Chapter 13 Rebirth Island This was not the first time Zhang Xiaoman had spoken these words, but compared to before, his sincerity and genuine intention were palpable.

After all, what he had said before was just boasting, but now, he spoke only the truth!

Yang Yangyang and the others had been wide-eyed and visibly excited from the moment he began speaking about “being willing to accept” them, and without a second thought, they were ready to agree right after he finished his statement.

Zhang Xiaoman, however, waved his hands and interjected, “There’s no need to rush your answers.

I suggest you calm down and think it over carefully before responding.

As for the enlightenment array, I am still missing a key material.

Once I have gathered all the materials and if your minds haven’t changed by then, we can talk about joining.”

The group was taken aback by his words, and then they all fell silent, each contemplating the question Zhang Xiaoman had just raised.

After a while, Ji Xiaoqi was the first to ask, “Brother Man, what material are you still missing?

Maybe we can help.”

Zhang Xiaoman looked at her: “The last material I need is something you might have heard of, the Olharast Rock.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was visibly shocked.

“The Olharast Rock…

Isn’t that the legendary ore?

Does it really exist in the world!?” Yang Yangyang exclaimed.

“Yeah, I heard that an alloy made from it can be invulnerable to weapons and unaffected by water and fire.

If I used it to make a shield, couldn’t I also become a captain?” Xun You chimed in.

“Brother Man, we’ve also been looking for such a material for a while but haven’t found anything…

Do you know where we can find it?” Ji Xiaoqi asked.

Lord Bear was also listening attentively among the group, nodding occasionally.

Since joining the expedition team with Yang Yangyang and others, he had come to understand some of these fantastic tales and was also familiar with Olharast Rock.

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Zhang Xiaoman had expected this.

Although the name had simply come up in conversation initially, he had not heard of the ore himself nor knew if it truly existed.

However, this did not hinder his own means of acquiring it.

Yes, Zhang Xiaoman knew how to obtain this ore!

The answer was straightforward: in his newly acquired Gang Store.

When checking the items in the store before, Zhang Xiaoman had noticed that Olharast Rock was for sale with a price tag of twenty Star Dust per piece.

At such a price, it was currently beyond his means, with only nine portions of Star Dust remaining in his possession.

However, none of these were an issue.

With time, he believed he could purchase this item in no more than a month.

“Brother Man, I have a hunch this island definitely contains Olharast Rock!

Why don’t we go back once, bring some ore detection equipment, and everyone search the island carefully for this kind of mineral vein?”

Yang Yangyang suggested his idea.

Zhang Xiaoman wanted to decline, but seeing the others also in agreement, he weighed his options and finally nodded in ascent.

On one hand, he did not want to reveal the existence of his System Store, and on the other hand, he, like Yang Yangyang, sensed that the island might really contain that legendary ore.

Furthermore, he didn’t have any immediate tasks for the others to help with, and since Yang Yangyang and the team enjoyed such adventures, he let them give it a try; they might even make a discovery.

After agreeing to their proposal, they discussed some further details.

Finally, on Zhang Xiaoman’s suggestion, they changed the name from “Light Blue Expedition Team” to “Light Blue Clan,” which would temporarily handle the peripheral construction for the Star Alliance and focus primarily on intel gathering and hiring personnel in the future.

After settling these related issues, they planned the details of their imminent plans, and thus, the first “meeting” since the establishment of the Star Alliance concluded successfully.

Lastly, Yang Yangyang raised a doubt regarding the island: the various governments must have noticed its abnormality by now, and military forces may have already landed.

If they were to build a base here, would that not pose a security risk?

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Xiaoman provided an answer.

“This island is located in the Pacific Ocean, with an area of about 1 million square kilometers.

It has always been submerged deep in the ocean, and its sudden appearance on the surface cannot go unnoticed by the nations.”

“However, there is no need for concern.

This island is covered by a large special magnetic field that renders all precision instruments unusable within it, and even signals cannot be transmitted from the island’s interior to the outside.

It’s not easy for the countries to explore and excavate here.”

“Of course, compared to them, it’s even more difficult for us to develop.

But the good news is, I’ve obtained the coordinates of the Original Realm Space and established a stable transit point.

Although it’s not yet suitable for ordinary people to enter, just give me some time to make adjustments, and the Original Realm will become our unshakeable foundation here!”

Zhang Xiaoman outlined his plans for the island, bolstering the confidence of the others who became even more eager and wished they could explore the mysterious Original Realm Space immediately.

“Ah, right!

Brother Man, what is the name of this island?

What should we call it from now on?” Xun You raised a question.

Zhang Xiaoman thought for a while, then sighed, “I have searched the records for its name, but sadly, due to various reasons, the records have suffered severe damage and loss.

The name of the island has been lost…”

Everyone seemed a bit disheartened, but then Xun You’s eyes lit up and he said, “Brother Man, since the previous records are gone, we can’t let it remain nameless forever.

Why don’t we give it a new name?

It would be more convenient for everyone to refer to it!”

Zhang Xiaoman nodded.

After pondering for a short while, he spoke, “This time we came here and encountered many events.

Lost relics have seen the light again, ancient legacies have revived here, and we have all faced life-and-death crises.

With the Star Alliance established upon the ruins, each of our futures will take new paths, as everything is reborn…”

Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes gleamed with gratification, as he slowly said, “Given all that, let’s call it ‘Rebirth Island’ then…”
