Chapter 515: Unlocking the Intermediate Civilization War Fortress, Meeting Goblin Farlin Again |
The blood-red shadow's memories showed Yu Yuan a bright path forward.
That path was creating a race, following in the footsteps of Blood Clan Progenitor Gurlad.
"If that's the case, the Bloodsucking Werewolf still has development potential. I have one opportunity to experience Gold Rank Authority, and I can separate the Bloodline River anytime I want."
"But there's no need to rush."
"After all, as long as Miller uses that mass of Silver-glowing Blood to produce a Bloodsucking Werewolf Genetic Modification Serum, with its tier, vampires below Gold Rank won't be able to suppress Bloodsucking Werewolves in terms of rank."
"That's enough!"
"When we later develop a serum that fuses Elemental Forces—that's when the Bloodsucking Werewolf will shake the Civilization Long Stair."
Yu Yuan quickly adjusted his plans.
Haste makes waste. His current development had already far surpassed players at the same level.
-
Before leaving the zoo, Yu Yuan killed two more new Bronze mutated creatures.
The [Civilization Illustrated Book] also received another 2 Civilization Points reward.
Added to the previously accumulated 198 Civilization Points, he finally gathered 200 Civilization Points.
Opening [Civilization Focus] - [War] - [Expansionism] focus, he clicked on the [Military Building: Intermediate Civilization War Fortress] focus.
The 200 Civilization Points that hadn't even warmed in his possession vanished, and the Civilization Focus Yu Yuan had been longing for was finally lit.
"That wasn't easy!"
Ever since the top 100 players on the Leaderboard had all entered Invasion War/truce status, his channels for obtaining Civilization Points had also been cut off.
He could still invade players ranked lower, but he felt it wasn't worth much.
They were all a bunch of paupers, a complete waste of time.
"Forget it! Time to prepare for advancement!"
Yu Yuan sent a message to Alpha saying they would prepare to advance to Bronze Rank tomorrow.
Soon, Alpha's message came through.
[Alpha: Understood. The Pioneering Group will return immediately.]
After thinking for a moment, Yu Yuan looked at his Survival Points balance.
Although he had spent quite a bit recently—commissioning Greenfield's divination, buying seeds and grain—he had also sold everything useless from his Invasion War spoils and the items obtained from Freedom Tower.
Thanks to the multi-functional mining vehicle in Dead Mine Town, he had also listed plenty of coal and other energy resources.
His Survival Points kept growing.
The balance had now reached over seventy-three million.
"With this many Survival Points, it should be enough to build the Intermediate Civilization War Fortress."
Yu Yuan teleported to the Hunter Training Camp.
At the War Fortress Square, three carts of Molten Ore from the Molten Kobold World had just entered the Transmission Portal, heading to the Dead Mine World.
Carmen immediately noticed Yu Yuan's arrival and stepped forward.
"Leader!"
"Notify Quis, Zhou Yuan, and Black Flame. Stop the transport for now! Resume after the upgrade here is complete."
Carmen was stunned, then a look of ecstasy spread across his face.
"Understood!"
Soon, the Civilization Teleportation Gate closed, and everyone on the fortress square, including Carmen, evacuated.
Only Yu Yuan remained.
A call device appeared in his hand.
It was the [Farlin Family's Call Doorbell].
This was a gift Farlin, the leader of the Goblin Engineering Team, had given Yu Yuan last time.
After such a long time, it was time to call him.
Yu Yuan pressed the call button.
Ding-ding-ding—
A crisp ringing sound came from the call device.
The ringing lasted for five seconds before a somewhat slurred voice came through.
"Huh? Who is it? Calling me at this hour…"
It was Farlin's voice, Yu Yuan was certain.
"Hey, Farlin, my friend, it's Yu Yuan. Remember me?"
"Yu Yuan… friend?" Farlin's voice paused slightly, as if thinking.
Two seconds later, a sharp cry came from the call device.
"Oh~~ Damn it, that's right, my friend! Why haven't you contacted me in so long? I thought you were dead!"
Hearing Farlin's excited voice, a smile curled at the corner of Yu Yuan's mouth.
"That's because I've been really busy lately, um—really, really busy! But do you have time now? I might need to trouble you and your engineering team."
"Of course, no problem, my friend! Wait one hour… no, half an hour…"
Half an hour later.
A oval-shaped teleportation portal appeared in front of Yu Yuan.
A small, yellow-green goblin couldn't wait to step out of the portal, spreading his arms and walking toward Yu Yuan.
"Oh~~ My friend, seeing you again makes me so happy!"
"Same here, Farlin!"
Yu Yuan and Farlin shared a warm hug.
Behind Farlin, the engineering team goblins from last time filed out one by one.
But Yu Yuan's expression showed surprise as he looked at Farlin.
"My friend, is my memory failing me? Why do I feel like your engineering team has gotten bigger?"
Farlin wore a proud expression.
"Haha, my friend, you're not wrong! My engineering team has expanded. It could have had even more people, but… many of my clan members were captured by other races. There are really too few friendly friends like you."
Hearing Farlin's complaint, a hint of a smile curled at the corner of Yu Yuan's mouth.
"Well, what a coincidence!"
As he spoke, the Loser's Cube appeared in Yu Yuan's hand. Then, under Farlin's stunned gaze, two goblins appeared before them.
"Oh~ This…"
Farlin was incredulous. The other engineering team goblins also turned to stare.
They couldn't help walking over.
The two goblins were dumbfounded. They stared blankly at their clansmen before them, their eyes instantly reddening.
"I rescued these from the Vampire castle…"
"My friend, this…"
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"Don't worry about it, Farlin. Saving them was just a small favor for me. We're friends, aren't we!"
Farlin's expression twisted with conflict.
"My friend, you saved my clansmen, I should repay you, but… for the engineering team's construction price, I can only give you at most a ten percent discount. That's all the authority I have…"
"Farlin, don't think that way… We're friends, aren't we?"
With that, before Farlin could speak, Yu Yuan pointed at the fortress square.
"If you really want to thank me, take your engineering team and help me upgrade this building!"
"For me, that's the most important thing!"
Farlin stared blankly at Yu Yuan. Two seconds later, he also revealed a row of short, small teeth.
He shouted to the clansmen behind him, "Clansmen, time to start work…"
The goblins behind all raised their arms.
"Woo-hoo~~~"
