Chapter 1387: Chapter 1291: Cross-Region Transfer of the Sandworm Mining Machine
Now it’s Beijing Time, 4:30 PM. Da Fei continues to fight fiercely in the mine. After a short stamina break, his troops, under Nasir’s massive door-blocking cover, have killed nearly ten thousand cannon fodder from the Hell Army. Da Fei couldn’t imagine, with Nasir—a giant war fortress capable of holding off a God-level Hydra in the past—what harm could an enemy army with a hundred thousand regular troops do to me?
At this moment, another wave of Evil Demons emerged, bringing Da Fei’s total to 730 Evil Demons. The rear mining area has already reached saturation, so these newly produced 30 Evil Demons and those that will be produced later will all join the task of transporting corpses. Thus, the Holy Vine Space begins its luxurious feast of meat in the front and mining in the back.
Da Fei looks at the center lake, boiling with black smoke, and the soil by the lakeshore rapidly expanding and growing visibly, smiling so broadly that his mouth can’t close. What pleased Da Fei even more was seeing the grapevine and Unicorn Flower Vine transplanted into the lakeshore soil thrive visibly. This isn’t just a plant anymore; it’s a monster! Let the monster grow more ferocious!
After all, pure ore is high in energy, but it doesn’t turn into soil due to the lack of impurities, while ordinary ore, even if lower in energy, can have its slag converted into soil. This is the foundation of the ecosystem, the most valuable long-term resource. So let the resources come even more fiercely!
However, the mining speed of Evil Demon Flower Demons and Vine Demons isn’t really fierce. They’re too weak, not suited for heavy stamina work, which leaves Da Fei helpless.
At this moment, Da Fei starts to miss his Sandworm Mining Machine, which he lent to Fleeting Blossom. The Habbit villagers back then were only slightly stronger than the Flower Demons, and one Sandworm Mining Machine had the tree-cutting efficiency of hundreds of them. If the Sandworm Mining Machine were here now, all the back mine Flower Demons, Evil Demons, and Vine Demons could be freed to transport corpses and assist the Holy Vine in digestion.
Ah! Good things shouldn’t be lent out. When you really need them, you end up torturing yourself! By the way, isn’t Fire Cave City still a mining city? If there were a Sandworm Mining Machine, wouldn’t my mining efficiency increase by dozens of times?
For a moment, the more Da Fei thinks about it, the more conflicted he becomes, torturing himself. This inner conflict makes him lose the leisure of watching the growth of the soil like before.
While conflicted, Da Fei’s phone rings. This specific ringtone must be Little Li. Da Fei quickly answers the call, "Little Li, what’s up?"
Little Li laughs, "Just reminding you, it’s almost 5 o’clock, don’t forget to eat."
Now Little Li knows Da Fei’s secret. Feeling depressed, he really wants to talk to someone. Being alone for long with things bottled up inside can be very painful.
Da Fei sighs, "I’m really conflicted right now, don’t really have an appetite." The lack of appetite not only comes from his mood but also from the nausea-inducing wriggling of the Holy Vine’s stomach space above his head.
Little Li responds, "Don’t worry, I’ve heard the cost of Phoenix Feather’s big move is high, and Japan has started a national hunt for it, stopping it from getting easy kills. It shouldn’t be a threat to you, right?"
Da Fei is surprised and chuckles, considering his own strength, is taking it down just as easy? Da Fei sighs, "I’m just annoyed about lending the Sandworm Mining Machine to Fleeting Blossom..."
While Da Fei spoke without thinking, Little Li listened attentively, and couldn’t help but ask urgently, "So what will you do?"
Da Fei laughs bitterly, "What else can I do? I’ve crossed the boundary, it’s too late to regret, forget it, let’s not discuss it anymore, anyway, I have many troops, manual ore transport works too."
Little Li also sighs, "Whatever happens, make sure to relax and don’t forget to eat."
"Got it."
After finishing the call with Little Li, Da Fei exhales deeply. Expressing his worries seems to have freed him a bit. Overall, let’s be optimistic, and make up for quality with quantity by producing more Evil Demons.
Time passes, as Da Fei observes and waits, and finally, a large batch of ore is brought back by the Evil Demons. Now the center lake is full, so following the old procedure, stack them in the Lamp God Space until reaching 1500 units and continue transporting to Red Name Village.
Then, with a flash of white light, a fully loaded mountain of ore transforms into light and disappears.
——System Prompt: You’ve used Sain Lamp God Freight Space to transport 1500 units of obsidian ore to the Exile Land!
——System Prompt: Sain Lamp God Freight Space has received enhanced transport capacity, with each transport reducing energy consumption by 25%.
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, has the Lamp God express improved? That’s right, Sain mentioned early on that as either his strength increases or Flying Holy Vine grows stronger, the freight transport capacity would enhance. Ultimately, depending on him growing stronger isn’t practical; it’s because the Holy Vine has strengthened. Great, saving a quarter of energy consumption is not a small progress, must keep striving!
While feeling appreciative, another system prompt sounds:
——System Prompt: The Sain Lamp God Freight Space of your Flying has received a letter from Sain, please check.
Oh? A letter from NPC? Da Fei looks up and indeed sees a letter in the middle of the Array! Da Fei smiles, oh not bad, it’s truly a global delivery service; even if I cross boundary, it can deliver to me.
Excited, Da Fei picks up the letter to read:
——Dear Mr. Da Fei:
Hello! I am honored to inform you our freight space has strengthened, allowing us to freely communicate. I’ve been concerned about your cross-boundary national war, and I felt that you’ve sent many batches of goods to the target location we agreed upon. I’m beyond words in expressing my admiration for you. To show my respect, I hope to serve you to the best of my abilities. If there’s anything you need my help with, I will do my utmost to assist.——Your most loyal friend, Sain.
Da Fei suddenly realizes, no wonder letters can be delivered, it’s a new feature of global express shipping! If it’s this feature—in a moment, Da Fei suddenly remembers the Sandworm Mining Machine that had him agonizing half to death! Whether it’s possible or not, how would you know without trying?
Da Fei immediately writes back, "Mr. Sain, I have a receipt for renting the Sandworm Mining Machine to the Lionheart Empire’s Fleeting Blossom. I’m urgently requesting Mr. Sain to find a way to transport this Sandworm Mining Machine to me, even if it’s difficult and energy-consuming, compared to the precious ore I’m competing for in the mine, these losses are insignificant!"
Da Fei sends the letter along with the receipt, and within a few seconds, Sain replies, "Very honored to serve you. I will make every effort."
Oh? The first stroke of the eight characters has been written! This is the tone that indicates success! In his excitement, Da Fei can’t help but call Little Li to share the good news! Right, she mentioned she’s friends with Fleeting Blossom, let her notify Fleeting Blossom to cooperate well with Sain!
