Chapter 523: Moon Shadow's Breath's Concerns and Arrangements, Greenfield's Plan |
World's Core
"Lord of Moon Shadow, the latest batch of Bronze-tier creatures has just been captured and sent to the Brewing Area. However, according to projections, the probability of producing Epic-tier Blood Brew this time does not exceed 30%..."
The vampire Jeff was reporting the situation to Xiao Xi.
Xiao Xi's brows furrowed slightly, but she quickly let out a long sigh of turbid air.
"I understand. You may leave!"
Only after the stone door closed again did Xiao Xi rub her forehead involuntarily.
She felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.
Clearly, she had already advanced to the Silver-tier, yet her situation had become incredibly difficult.
Because of Hammond's disappearance, the success rate for brewing Epic-tier Blood Brew had plummeted.
Those Blood Slaves, even when following the instructions to the letter, still had an extremely high failure rate.
Thinking of this, Xiao Xi's mind once again conjured that figure and that unforgettable night.
"Damn bastard."
It was that guy's appearance that had taken Hammond away.
Not only had he swept clean all the high-grade Blood Brew previously brewed.
But he had also slaughtered every vampire and Blood Slave that Hammond had personally trained in the Blood Brew area.
Now, even the Blood Brew she consumed daily was only Rare-tier.
But that wasn't the most critical issue.
The most critical issue was Duke Yegu's attitude, which was what worried Xiao Xi the most...
Ever since the last Council meeting, Duke Yegu's attitude toward her had become very delicate.
Xiao Xi naturally knew the reason, but she simply had no way to explain it to Duke Yegu.
The mere fact that she hadn't told Duke Yegu about the Epic-tier Blood Brew.
That alone was an unexplainable matter.
Just as she was consumed with worry, a private message notification rang in her friend list.
Xiao Xi opened it and squinted her eyes.
It was actually from that Rock Rank shelter player she had added earlier.
"Could Yu Yuan have made another move?"
Worried about Duke Yegu's matters, Xiao Xi hadn't had the chance to check the Civilization Ladder for news, so she naturally didn't know what had happened.
Therefore, when she saw that Yu Yuan Shelter had already advanced to Bronze Rank, she was stunned for a moment.
But a glint of killing intent quickly emerged in her eyes.
She naturally understood Yu Yuan Shelter's potential and threat.
Or rather, she understood better than anyone how terrifying Yu Yuan Shelter's potential was.
And precisely because of that, in her eyes, Yu Yuan had to die.
Otherwise, the one who would die in the future would inevitably be her.
"I couldn't do anything to you at Rock Rank, but now that you're at Bronze Rank, you won't have a say."
She muttered to herself.
Xiao Xi immediately began contacting her Descendants, subordinates, and allies at Bronze Rank.
But soon, an even more shocking piece of information reached her.
[Moon Shadow's Breath Underground Castle: Rank 7867 on the Bronze Rank Leaderboard. Are you sure you didn't read it wrong?]
[Phoenix Dance Underground Cave: Lord of Moon Shadow, I'm sure I didn't read it wrong. The Bronze Rank Chat Channel is now full of discussions about 'Yu Yuan Shelter.' There are also posts in the Civilization Ladder...]
Xiao Xi immediately opened the Civilization Ladder Chat Channel and started scrolling through it.
Sure enough, many players were discussing 'Yu Yuan Shelter.'
Especially players on the Shelter Leaderboard, who were revealing details about 'Yu Yuan Shelter's' situation.
This caused a huge uproar.
Although most players said that advancing to Bronze Rank just three months after joining the Wasteland Game was pure nonsense.
A fool's dream.
It still added a layer of mysterious prestige to Yu Yuan Shelter.
Xiao Xi squinted her eyes as she watched the situation in the Chat Channel.
"Truly impressive! Just advancing to Bronze Rank, and you immediately enter the Leaderboard, landing at over seven thousandth place."
"But..." Xiao Xi revealed a dangerous smile.
"Sometimes, being too dazzling and conspicuous can be very dangerous. I wonder if you have the strength to withstand this kind of attention."
She opened her friend list and began to operate.
Before long, intelligence regarding 'Yu Yuan Shelter' appeared in the hands of some personnel closely connected to Xiao Xi.
——Yu Yuan Shelter: Wolf Clan player, already possesses pure-blood combat power.
Located in a city area called [Riot District], possesses the ability or item to conceal the shelter's position.
Elite-level factions exist within the area, possessing heavy equipment such as armored vehicles.
Current environment is a blizzard and low-temperature setting, with temperatures between -30°C and -20°C...
Along with this message was the introductory information for an Epic-tier warship——the [Elbe Missile Destroyer Blueprint].
Xiao Xi stated that as long as Yu Yuan Shelter was killed, this Epic-tier warship blueprint would be given as her personal reward.
Some people originally had no interest in invading Yu Yuan.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that 'Yu Yuan Shelter' had considerable potential.
Regardless of whether the things in the Chat Channel were true or false, the fact that he had squeezed into over seven thousandth place upon his debut already said a lot.
But the appearance of the Epic-tier warship blueprint made everyone perk up.
Only because this blueprint was actually [Epic★★★].
And it was also a warship blueprint.
In the Wasteland Civilization game, land vehicle blueprints had the lowest value, followed by sea ship blueprints, and then various aircraft blueprints.
The highest value belonged to underground, underwater, and special vehicle blueprints.
The rarity of these blueprints was also directly proportional to the vehicle's value; the higher the value of the vehicle, the rarer and less common it was.
And within each vehicle category, military vehicles had the highest value.
The value of the [Elbe Missile Destroyer Blueprint] was absolutely a T0~T1 level existence among sea ship blueprints.
Let alone the fact that this was an Epic three-star blueprint!
Top-tier configuration for Epic quality at Bronze Rank.
Naturally, it made everyone's hearts race.
Xiao Xi looked at the messages constantly popping up on the Virtual Light Screen, and her tightly knitted brows finally relaxed a little.
This blueprint was a war trophy she had obtained from that Civilization War when she advanced to Silver Rank.
She naturally knew its value, but compared to this blueprint.
She was even more wary of the threat posed by 'Yu Yuan Shelter.'
"Yu Yuan... why did you have to be Wolf Clan? If you weren't Wolf Clan, how wonderful it would have been for you to become my Descendant!"
As the first person to recognize Yu Yuan's potential, Xiao Xi felt a pang of regret in her heart.
-
The joys and sorrows of people are not connected.
Xiao Xi felt regret, but Greenfield was currently feeling the joy of having made the right bet.
She watched the discussions in the Civilization Ladder Chat Channel.
The curve of her mouth was already impossible to suppress.
"Yu Yuan Shelter, his current momentum really has the potential of 'the one who reshuffles the deck'! Could he actually be 'the one who reshuffles the deck'?"
This thought flashed through Greenfield's mind.
But it was only a fleeting thought.
Because when she had cast [The Forgotten Corner of Fate] on Yu Yuan, she had already made her investment and decision.
Regardless of whether 'Yu Yuan Shelter' was 'the one who reshuffles the deck' or not, it no longer mattered.
The bet was placed.
All she had to do now was 'wait.'
Opening the Virtual Light Screen, Greenfield pondered for two seconds before chuckling softly.
"Very well, the Bronze Rank is about to descend into chaos. It's time for me to advance to Silver Rank too."
"If 'Yu Yuan Shelter' really is 'the one who reshuffles the deck,' I'm sure he will quickly advance to Silver Rank. Let me first help him scout out the situation at Silver Rank!"
"Also, now that he has advanced to Bronze Rank, it's time to send him my gift. I'm sure he will like it very much..."
