Chapter 355: Duke Yegu's Decision, News of the 54th Day of the Wasteland Calendar
On the virtual light screen.
A new page called [Civilization Buildings] appeared on the [Research & Production] page within the [Civilization Management] interface.
The construction information for the [Primary Civilization War Fortress] was displayed on it.
[Primary Civilization War Fortress]
Type: Civilization Building
Introduction: This is the foundation for opening up the multiverse of civilizations.
Function: Contains a Primary Civilization Teleportation Gate, capable of anchoring three world coordinates and establishing stable spatial teleportation channels.
Construction Conditions: Civilization Energy Level ≥ 30
Construction Requirements: Steel × 10000, Glass × 5000, Wire × 20000...... Dimensional Fragment × 3, Phase Stabilization Field Emitter × 1...... Legion Teleportation Platform × 1....
————————————Yu Yuan looked at the densely packed list of construction materials and was utterly speechless.
The basic materials were manageable, but things like Dimensional Fragments and Emitters were things he had never even heard of.
Wanting to complete the construction of this building as soon as possible was clearly going to be very difficult in the short term.
Yu Yuan did think of the [Goblin Engineering Team] summoning button he had just obtained. The Goblin Engineering Team could directly use survival points to exchange for construction materials, which was now the only viable method.
He immediately took out the button and checked the option to construct the [Primary Civilization War Fortress].
The virtual light screen instantly popped up with a line of information.
——[Constructing this building requires consuming 15 million survival points. Summon the Goblin Engineering Team?]
"15 million survival points..."
Yu Yuan hadn't expected it to require consuming so many resources.
Even at a generous estimate, his current survival points only amounted to just over 11 million, and that was largely due to the reward of over 5 million points he received after winning three invasion wars.
It was simply outrageously expensive.
But very quickly, Yu Yuan came to his senses.
Although this 15 million was quite expensive, when calculated against the tangible benefits gained after establishing connections with other worlds, it wasn't actually expensive.
One teleportation gate could connect to three worlds, meaning the cost to connect to one world was 5 million survival points.
Even for a very low-level world, obtaining benefits worth over 5 million shouldn't be difficult.
Furthermore, the worlds he would anchor in the future would inevitably be resource-rich. Calculated this way, it was practically dirt cheap.
"So that means... I still need to gather nearly 4 million more survival points." Yu Yuan made his calculations.
——————————————
The death of the Mountain Stone Shelter.
Once again caused a stir in the chat channel.
The Yu Yuan Shelter, having eliminated three high-ranking players in a single day, including one ranked within the top 100, made it clear to everyone that the Yu Yuan Shelter was now an unstoppable force.
And its strength far exceeded its current ranking on the leaderboard.
Some could already foresee that it wouldn't be long before the Yu Yuan Shelter advanced to the Bronze tier.
Those top-ranked players also silently added the Yu Yuan Shelter to their danger lists.
Xiao Xi also received the news of the Mountain Stone Shelter's death.
At this moment, her emotions were surprisingly very calm.
"Yu Yuan's strength far surpasses his current ranking, possessing the ability to overcome higher-ranked opponents. This also indicates the Wolf Clan values him extraordinarily highly. This matter needs to be reported to the Duke. Xiao Wu being killed by Yu Yuan, and the loss of the Subterranean Gloom Civilization world is a foregone conclusion. This is the perfect opportunity to shift the responsibility onto the Wolf Clan..."
Xiao Xi understood very well how much Duke Yegu valued Void Energy Ore, as it was related to an important research project of the Duke's. Now that the Subterranean Gloom Civilization was lost.
She had to provide an explanation, and the Wolf Clan was clearly the most suitable candidate.
She immediately reported the entire process in detail to Duke Yegu: how the Wolf Clan was secretly nurturing Yu Yuan, how Xiao Wu discovered this and proactively invaded Yu Yuan but failed.
Subsequently, how Yu Yuan forcefully invaded and killed Xiao Wu.
However, in Xiao Xi's description, she played some word games.
She attributed both Xiao Wu's death and the loss of the Subterranean Gloom Civilization entirely to the Wolf Clan's exceptional nurturing of Yu Yuan.
She absolved herself and Xiao Wu from being the ones at fault in the entire incident.
And in fact, Xiao Xi's account was indeed plausible.
Whether it was arranging for 'Firefly Earth' or 'Mountain Stone' to invade, under normal circumstances, both held certain advantages against a player ranked 178th.
Her arrangements showed no obvious errors, no underestimation or carelessness; in fact, she had shown considerable seriousness.
Soon, a message from Duke Yegu came through.
[City of Night on the Move: Yu Yuan? The Wolf Clan? I understand! So that means the remaining Void Energy Ore is in this Yu Yuan's hands.
Hmm~ The Blood Clan's honor cannot be tarnished. Since the Wolf Clan values him so much, then let's utterly destroy him. Also, the civilization war against the Wolf Clan will commence tomorrow. There must be no failure this time.]
[Underground Castle of the Moonlit Land: Understood, Your Grace. Regarding the loss of the Subterranean Gloom Civilization world coordinates, I will find a way as soon as possible to locate players possessing similar civilizations and absorb them into our clan to share your burden.]
[City of Night on the Move: Proceed with confidence! As for the Subterranean Gloom Civilization, I will find a way.]
Seeing Duke Yegu's final message.
Xiao Xi's eyes flickered slightly.
"Does Duke Yegu have a way to locate the Subterranean Gloom Civilization again?"
Xiao Xi could only make such a conjecture.
"The Duke is, after all, at the peak of the Silver tier. His perspective is far beyond my comparison. Perhaps he really can re-establish contact with the Subterranean Gloom Civilization."
"The civilization war against the Wolf Clan is tomorrow. I must arrange matters concerning Yu Yuan today. I hope this civilization war will gather enough contribution points for my promotion to the Council!"
Thinking this, Xiao Xi opened the Civilization Ladder and began selecting a target.
