Chapter 101: Looting Supplies
’Good grief, it has anxiety,’ Wang Yi thought. ’It just gives up when its energy drops below fifty percent!’
Wang Yi mused that this Future Robot certainly had a lot of personality.
The little guy froze for a moment, then floated up and started controlling the Energy Lighthouse to charge itself!
Mengbai Island was just over 300 *li* from Eggshell Village, and the Energy Lighthouse’s infinite charging range was a radius of 800 kilometers!
Therefore, Wadu could easily charge itself here on Mengbai Island.
He was very excited now, and the speed of his body’s Self-Repair had clearly increased. He shouted, "Lalala, I’m charging! I have energy freedom! I can repair my body to my heart’s content! I can use my Radium Light Radio whenever I want! Master, I love you to death! Lalala, I have energy freedom..."
Wadu suddenly flew back to Wang Yi’s side. "Master, the annual maintenance fee for the Energy Lighthouse is as high as 2,190 Gold Coins. Once the territory has more charging facilities in the future, can I symbolically charge a small electricity fee for the civilian-use portion?"
"Charge an electricity fee?" Wang Yi thought the little robot’s line of thinking was bizarre. "Sure, go ahead and charge it. I’ll appoint you as the Electricity Official. How about I build you an Eggshell Power Bureau later?"
"Okay, okay!" Wadu danced with excitement. "The cost for the Energy Lighthouse to generate 10,000 kilowatt-hours is one Copper Coin. We’ll raise our electricity rate by a hundred times—one Copper Coin for one hundred kilowatt-hours. That’s not a ripoff, right? Our Energy Lighthouse can make a fortune! No, wait, the rates have to have regional differences. It should be cheaper inside the territory and more expensive outside..."
"What, you plan on doing business outside the territory?"
"Yeah! Otherwise, we’ll never use all the power the Energy Lighthouse generates. We can sell electricity facilities and equipment to outsiders..."
"Alright, alright, good ideas. Go ahead and research it on your own for now!"
Seeing Governor Wadu’s high level of initiative, Wang Yi let him do as he pleased. He then headed down to collect the spoils of war.
A moment later, Wang Yi arrived near the Spiritual Snake’s corpse.
This Spiritual Snake was no ordinary creature. Its corpse hadn’t vanished, which probably meant it wasn’t a wild monster. Wang Yi figured its sinews, bones, and flesh should all be valuable items.
Yang Qingniu was already leading the Civilian Militia, prying off Snake Scales and carving out Snake Meat. The group was bustling with activity. Wang Yi mused that if they had phones, they would have all insisted on taking a group photo with the Spiritual Snake.
Meanwhile, Nangong Jin led the Octagonal Cage Soldiers to explore the Immortal Cave Mansion.
The cave mansion had been flooded, leaving it a total mess inside. It looked like a dilapidated tenement building, and there were still some remaining Bronze Warriors and Wooden Ox Puppets within.
However, those Bronze Warriors and Wooden Ox Puppets had turned into wild monsters. Nangong Jin directed the Octagonal Cage Soldiers to clear them out on their way down, frequently getting drops like Spirit Stones, Wooden Ox Spirit Talismans, Bronze Shards, and so on.
These dropped items could also be considered spoils of war.
Wang Yi explored the Immortal Cave Mansion for a bit but didn’t find anything that caught his eye.
By the time he left the Immortal Cave Mansion, the sky had already grown dim. With a grand wave of his hand, Wang Yi used a Lord Skill to create a large number of deluxe shacks.
"Everyone, make camp and rest for the night! Tomorrow, we will turn this island upside down, dig three feet deep, and confiscate all resources and materials!"
Wang Yi gave the order, and everyone responded immediately. Soon, campfires were lit. Naturally, everyone gathered around the fires, eating meat and shooting the breeze, having a joyous time.
The night passed peacefully. The next day, just as the sky began to lighten, Wang Yi maneuvered the Floating Mountain into position and began a new round of bombardment.
Mengbai Island had six mountain peaks. The main peak was in the center, with the other five surrounding it. Wang Yi had already bombarded three of the peaks yesterday, so today he would bombard the other three.
Each of those three peaks had a Mountain Protection Array. Without breaking the arrays, they couldn’t enter. Wang Yi’s main goal was to shatter the Mountain Protection Arrays so his subordinates could enter the mountains and plunder the resources.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM...
The sound of explosions rang out continuously. It took Wang Yi two hours to completely shatter the Mountain Protection Arrays of all three peaks.
’It’s a good thing the Super Bubble Gun is so powerful and has infinite firepower,’ Wang Yi muttered to himself. ’Otherwise, breaking these three Mountain Protection Arrays would have been a real hassle.’
Wang Yi then controlled the Floating Mountain to land, set out some Crispy Fried Small Fish and Vegetable Soup, and waited for his subordinates to deliver the materials.
The first to deliver materials was the team of Octagonal Cage Soldiers led by Nangong Jin. The items they brought piled up like a mountain in front of Wang Yi: Spirit Stones, Bronze Ingots, money pouches, Wooden Ox Spirit Talismans, Lumber Mill Construction Drawings, White Weapons, hairdryers, electric fans, Flashlights, Makeup Mirrors, hydrating face masks, and so on.
Most of these items came from the Immortal Cave Mansion. The daily necessities like hairdryers and electric fans were things Nangong Jin had found in the Earth Palace below. They had been soaked in water and were mostly broken.
Wang Yi figured those items were probably things Shen Xingnan had gotten from opening blind boxes. He had no interest in them at all and treated them all as trash.
The most valuable of these items were the Wooden Ox Spirit Talismans and the Lumber Mill Construction Drawings. There were 10 of the former and three of the latter, which Wang Yi happily tucked into his Storage Waistband.
"There are still quite a few wandering Wooden Ox Puppets and Bronze Warriors on this island. There should be more loot after killing them! I’ll continue leading the team to clear them out. It’ll also be a good opportunity for the Octagonal Cage Soldiers to practice their coordination!"
After briefly reporting to Wang Yi, Nangong Jin quickly led his team away again, specifically to clear out the Wooden Ox Puppets and Bronze Warriors that had turned into wild monsters.
Before long, the members of the Civilian Militia brought over large quantities of Snake Scales, Snake Bones, and Snake Meat. They had completely dismantled the Island Guardian Spirit Snake and had even dug out an Inner Core.
’It’s a shame I can’t bring the Gourmet Processing Plant over!’
Wang Yi sighed, then ordered the Civilian Militia to go off-island to guide the Hardworking Turtles over. The Snake Meat and other perishables needed to be transported back as soon as possible to prevent them from rotting.
In the afternoon, Governor Wadu, who was responsible for exploring the three mountain peaks, came to report. He had a Storage Realm, and with a simple action, he laid out a large number of items in front of Wang Yi.
Wang Yi took a closer look. There were 10 [Spirit Field Certificates], 10 bags of [Spirit Field Seeds], three [Spiritual Spring Construction Drawings], two Green Blind Boxes, two blue blind boxes, one Purple Blind Box, one gold blind box, one [Small Leveling Point Construction Drawing], one [Junior Sword Immortal’s Inheritance Jade Talisman], and one [Five Elements Warrior Inheritance Jade Talisman]!
In addition, there was a huge pile of Spirit Stones.
Wang Yi began to inspect them gleefully.
