Chapter 347: Thrilling Loot: The Mountain Hideout Launches an Invasion
[Ding... Player ID: Moss Cottage Shelter has been confirmed dead. This invasion war has ended. Settlement evaluation in progress... Both sides' material loss ratio, both sides' casualty ratio, both sides' tactics...]
[Evaluation result: Invading Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' had minimal material loss, zero casualties, and full mental state in this battle; Defending Player ID 'Moss Cottage Shelter' player is dead, no followers survived, meeting the total annihilation condition!]
[Congratulations, Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has won this invasion war!]
[Congratulations, Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has obtained Civilization Treasure Chest (Silver-tier) ×1, Civilization Points ×20]
[Killing Player ID 'Moss Cottage Shelter' triggered the Civilization Focus 'Military Plunder' effect - Loot +20%]
[Congratulations, Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has obtained loot - 731,033 Survival Points]
[Congratulations, Player ID 'Yu Yuan Shelter' has destroyed Moss Cottage Shelter, obtaining one random facility from that shelter ×1]
[Killing Player ID 'Moss Cottage Shelter' triggered the Civilization Focus 'Expansionism' effect, obtaining 50 Civilization Points. The exclusive world coordinates of 'Moss Cottage Shelter' have been recorded. Survival Points can be consumed to conquer and plunder this world (no 'War Token' consumption required)]
[Detected that Player ID 'Moss Cottage Shelter' is the civilization leader of the 'Subterranean Gloom Civilization'. Triggered the Civilization Focus 'Cultural Integration Decree' effect. Consume 30 Civilization Points to integrate this civilization into the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization system?]
Dense information appeared on the Virtual Light Screen.Yu Yuan looked at the last prompt message and didn't hesitate.
— [Yes]
He had 61 Civilization Points remaining before. Killing [Firefly Earth Shelter] earned 20 points, killing [Moss Cottage Shelter] earned 50 points, and killing Xiao Wu unlocked the Blood Clan entry in the [Civilization Illustrated Book], earning 1 Civilization Point.
Yu Yuan's Civilization Points had now reached 132 points.
With the deduction of 30 Civilization Points, 102 points remained.
And as Yu Yuan confirmed his choice.
On the [Civilization Focus] page, which previously only had three sub-pages — [War], [System], [Technology] — a fourth sub-page now appeared — [Fusion].
Clearly, the [Fusion] page contained the related civilization focus content after the [Subterranean Gloom Civilization] was integrated into the [Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization] system.
Just as Yu Yuan was preparing to check the related content of the [Fusion] page.
The Virtual Light Screen popped up another prompt message.
[Victory in this invasion war. You can continue to stay in this world for a maximum of 1 hour. After 1 hour, you will be forcibly expelled. You can choose to leave at any time.]
Just as Yu Yuan was surprised that he could only stay for another hour.
Another prompt message popped up from the Virtual Light Screen.
[Player ID: Mountain Stone Shelter has used a 'War Token'. An invasion war will be launched against you in one hour. Please prepare for battle!]
Whoa~~
Yu Yuan also didn't expect that someone would launch an invasion war against him in quick succession.
After all, the announcement about eliminating two players consecutively should still be pinned at the top of the Chat Channel.
But if it's [Mountain Stone Shelter], then it's understandable.
Yu Yuan had already learned about Mountain Stone's deal with them from Xiao Wu's mouth.
Clearly, Xiao Wu's older sister Xiao Xi already knew her brother was killed, and this was her getting Mountain Stone Shelter to seek revenge.
Originally, Mountain Stone should have already helped Xiao Wu increase his strength by now, but now the employer was dead.
His hope of obtaining the qualification for the Blood Clan's Embrace had also vanished.
Mountain Stone must surely hate him to the core.
This invasion by Mountain Stone Shelter against him was most likely the second transaction between Xiao Xi and him.
If Yu Yuan were Mountain Stone Shelter, for this invasion, he would definitely go all out.
This was the last chance to obtain the qualification for the Blood Clan's Embrace.
"Mountain Stone Shelter's troop type is wild boars. Unfortunately, Xiao Wu also didn't know how many Bronze-tier wild boars he has... However, given the current situation in Green Forest City, no matter how many Bronze-tier wild boars he has, it's just delivering himself to death."
Yu Yuan shook his head slightly, no longer thinking about this.
Although he didn't get a Gold Civilization Treasure Chest this time, he was still quite satisfied. Just the supplies emptied from Moss Cottage Shelter alone were worth a fortune.
And the loot found on Xiao Wu's body also delighted Yu Yuan immensely: two Rare Artifacts, one notebook, four construction blueprints, one Rare-tier book that allows comprehension of a skill, three pieces of Rare-tier [Void Energy Ore], and several Epic-tier equipment pieces.
It was a truly substantial and bountiful harvest.
And now, Yu Yuan was preparing to draw the final reward.
That was the reward obtained after destroying Moss Cottage Shelter — Random Shelter Facility ×1.
This was also a reward that would inevitably appear after an invading player destroyed a defending player's shelter.
A blind box popped up on the Virtual Light Screen. Yu Yuan chose to open it.
The blind box shook a few times. With some firework special effects, a pattern of a blood-colored fountain appeared on the Virtual Light Screen.
Yu Yuan recognized it at a glance. Wasn't this the blood fountain deep inside Moss Cottage Shelter?
Information about this fountain appeared accordingly.
[Blood Fountain]
Quality: Epic
Type: Energy Facility
Function: Energy +12, produces 28 units of Blood Energy per hour. The Blood Pool can store up to 10,000 units of Blood Energy. Can provide energy to blood-related, biological equipment/artifacts/facilities.
(This facility has been sealed and can be placed again within a shelter.)
Yu Yuan smiled.
He now knew how Xiao Wu had forcibly escaped the invasion war back then. It relied on a Rare Artifact badge — the Escape Badge.
This was an item ranked 3978 on the Rare Item Leaderboard. The power of its forced escape effect was self-evident.
The main reason its ranking was only near four thousand was that manufacturing one Escape Badge (sub-body) required consuming 10,000 units of Blood Energy.
Blood Energy type energy facilities were already scarce. Needing to consume so much energy just to make one badge made [Escape Badge]'s low ranking understandable.
After all, even [Blood Fountain], as an Epic-tier Blood Energy facility, needed half a month to produce one badge.
If it were other lower-tier energy sources, trying to produce one would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Originally, Yu Yuan wondered if he could use the [Pen of Longstanding Heritage] to continue fleecing [Blood Duke], seeing if it was possible to get clues about Blood Energy sources.
Now, with this [Blood Fountain], there was no need for such trouble.
After Binding Bramble devoured all of Xiao Wu's blood and energy, it underwent a slight change.
Very faint, but a real and tangible change.
The thorny spikes gained a bit of vein-like red blood streaks.
As for what effect this change had, Yu Yuan didn't know yet, but one thing he was sure of.
That was, Binding Bramble had become stronger.
This was its inherent characteristic — it could devour biological energy and corpses to strengthen itself.
And with Xiao Wu's death, Yu Yuan placed Xiao Wu's head in a dedicated alloy containment box, also left the Motel Main Guest Room, and returned to Moss Cottage Shelter.
Looking towards the location of the previous blood pool fountain, sure enough, the fountain was gone.
Since all supplies had been completely looted, Yu Yuan didn't plan to stay here any longer.
He opened the Virtual Light Screen, chose to end the invasion war, and prepared to return to his own world.
Yu Yuan's gaze turned towards the deep area of the Underground Mine, his eyes narrowing.
He understood in his heart.
Next time, he wouldn't come alone.
It would be the pioneering group of the Ten Thousand Nations Pact Civilization, embarking on the path of conquest.
