With the fully-equipped magical girl as a trump card, Bai Miao felt that he could at least deliver a big blow to the enemy at crucial moments in the short term.

Back in her room, before Bai Miao could even greet Zhao Wanyang and the others, she received another message from the Knocker System.

The number of knockers has reached a certain threshold; the knocker network version has been updated.

[Knocker Network has now been updated to version 1.2. The update details are as follows.]

[1. Connects to more surrounding cities. The connection range includes bordering cities of cities that were connected in the previous version. Regions with network connectivity can communicate with each other and have a chance to be matched in the same instance.]

[2. Shop items updated, new products added]

[3. The team function is enabled. You can purchase the item "Alliance Oath" in the store. Each Alliance Oath can be used by up to five people. After the oath is made, they are considered to be in the same faction. When encountering competitive dungeons, they will be forcibly matched with the same faction.]

When allies activate friendly fire protection, damage received from teammates is reduced by 90%.

The in-game currency points of the same faction are calculated separately, but they are shared. The use of currency requires the consent of more than half of the factions.

If a player in the faction who knocks on the door dies, the remaining players who knock on the door will have their maximum attributes reduced by 20%.

Alliance oaths can be dissolved using the item "Oath of Judah".

"this……!"

Bai Miao took a deep breath, realizing that what was bound to happen had finally arrived.

But Bai Miao then remembered that he hadn't obtained the Lock of Zero and only became a Knocker after version 1.3. By then, the Knockers who had been ahead of him had probably already formed teams, and he wouldn't have had a chance to team up with any of them.

No wonder the later you become a door knocker, the harder it is to climb up the ladder.

Once you have a team, the first thing to consider is the members of the team.

So how do you sell Alliance Contracts?

Bai Miao opened the shop and saw the price—3000 points.

It's alright, I have 4800 points now, so I can afford it.

However, for other newcomers who have only been exploring the currency system for a little over a month, they need to complete at least four instances, each with an 80% completion rate, in order to afford the currency.

Or each of the three instances is 100%.

Bai Miao completed three projects between January 1.1st and January 1.2nd: two at 200% and one at 80%.

not bad.

But when Bai Miao saw the price of the Judah Oath, he once again experienced the perverse humor of the Knockers Network.

The Oath of Judah – 30 points.

This is a price that almost everyone can afford.

The cost of betrayal is extremely low.

Is this a deliberate attempt to stir up suspicion within the team after they've been formed?

After all, it's too easy to undo.

It's even possible to forcibly break the contract within a dungeon and then re-contract with someone else.

This broken system is useless, but it's quite fancy to use it.

As expected, the square was in chaos again, with everyone looking to form teams.

However, anyone who would spend 3000 points at this critical juncture to team up with someone they don't know well is either out of their mind or has something wrong with their brain.

Bai Miao didn't waste any time and directly spent three thousand to buy the Alliance Oath, sending team invitations to Hu Muyao, Zhao Wanyang, and Wang Xiang.

After experiencing the two instances of Qingqiu and Endless Energy, Bai Miao highly recognized Wang Xiang's information analysis abilities.

Professor Wang Xiang of the Law School possesses both the experience and wisdom that the team needs.

Wang Xiang and Zhao Wanyang both immediately accepted the invitation, but Hu Muyao declined.

"I'm sorry, Bai Miao... My official team has made a request that we form teams internally to avoid internal rivalry and maintain unity... I'm sorry. Thank you for inviting me."

"In that case, there's nothing we can do. Okay then."

Bai Miao increasingly felt that officialdom would be a constraint.

However, without official constraints, other knockers wouldn't be as obedient as they are now.

However, Bai Miao still hopes that Hu Muyao can find a reliable teammate in the official team.

"We've finally teamed up."

Wang Xiang said with some surprise, "I'm quite surprised that you were able to think of me first."

"No surprises, I'm the captain of the Deepsea Legacy. I think you're more reliable."

"I see." Wang Xiang didn't show much excitement: "How about the three of us meet up in person sometime? We can come to Jiangcheng University, and I'll treat."

Zhao Wanyang said with some pride, "Professor Wang, I've known White for a long time."

"So you're classmates. Anyway, let me know if you have time to come, and you're always welcome."

"Row."

This time, Bai Miao did not refuse the invitation to meet in person.

The countdown to the next dungeon run has reached 35 days, which means it won't be until after the college entrance exam.

Long intervals are not a good thing for Bai Miao, as they greatly limit his growth rate.

However, after making inquiries, Bai Miao discovered that the cooldown period for more experienced knockers was almost always more than 30 days, while only those who had recently become knockers had a cooldown period of just a few days.

This is also a limitation to prevent experienced newcomers from growing too quickly and widening the gap between them.

This knocker network appears to be dedicated to balancing the knockers from all sides.

One day I will have to take control of this broken system.

Many people knocked on Bai Miao's door wanting to team up, but Bai Miao rejected them all.

However, Bai Miao saw an unexpected ID.

Musician: "I've already bought the Alliance Oath. Team up with me and we'll have four magical girls."

This is incredible; someone with too much money and no brains has arrived.

But thinking about it, this also shows that the musician is very confident.

Is she so sure that I'll join if she invites me?

And she was so confident that I didn't have the money to buy the Alliance Pledge, so she bought it without saying a word?

Bai Miao was somewhat reluctant to reveal the truth.

This item cannot be returned, nor can it be sold for money.

3000 points is not a decimal.

What a terrible injustice!

Have you contacted two other people?

Bai Miao suppressed a laugh and asked.

"Not yet, but if you're willing to join, those two will definitely be fine."

Bai Miao was starting to lose his composure.

"Um, I have something to tell you, please don't be angry."

"what?"

“I’ve already formed a team. And since Hu Muyao has joined the official team, he can’t team up with those who are not part of the official team. Little Witch is already on my team.”

"?"

The musicians fell into a long silence.

"So, I bought this Alliance Oath for nothing?"

"Don't rush me. I haven't agreed to let you join my team yet, so you can stay and build your own team."

Who wants to hang out with that bunch of rotten fish?

The musician said dismissively, "The only people who can team up with me are those who also possess Aleph-level items. The little witch has the key item for summoning the ethereal, so forget about her."

"If you continue with this attitude, I'm afraid I can't let you join the team. When I look for teammates, I mainly look at whether they are reliable. After all, people come together because of interests, and they will also separate because of interests. You know that the price of betrayal is only 30 points, which is insignificant."

"You really are a strange person. If the person knocking on the door isn't doing it for their own benefit, what is it for? The door is the opportunity for each of us to rise up, yet you're willing to bring along a few people who hold you back?"

Bai Miao countered, "Don't you have any friends?"

As if this had touched a nerve with the musician, the musician replied somewhat impatiently, "Whether I have friends or not is none of your business! Don't you even consider whether they deserve to be my friends!"

"Don't rush. In short, I won't let you join the team in your current state. Think about it carefully."

Bai Miao shook his head, too lazy to communicate with musicians whose views differed from his own.

The Lock of Zero consumed 20% of its energy during the battle with the Ethereal, and it was not fully charged after only 7 days in the Magic Night dungeon.

That's a bit of a pity.

Remembering the potentially huge risks he had taken when he returned to the ship last time, Bai Miao had been thinking about returning to the ship again.

The Noah's Ark ticket is undoubtedly a life-saving tool, capable of withstanding the failure of one instance.

Bai Miao was also unwilling to go and exchange with Wang Xiang.

Zhuo Xinzhi's intelligence has increased dramatically, so he needs something to protect his life.

There were two other people left, and Bai Miao wasn't familiar with them. If he rashly went to make a deal with them, his identity as the captain might be discovered.

Sigh... boat tickets are really hard to get.
