Chapter 1427: Chapter 1326: Demolishing the Bat Barracks
There’s something called forcing a cow to drink water. Just like during Da Fei’s university days, although he could speed read novels at a pace of ten lines per glance, finishing a whole series of hundreds of thousands of words in just a couple of days, he just couldn’t swallow the compulsory courses like Marxist Philosophy or Political Economy, no matter how hard he tried.
Don’t ask why; when you can’t read it, you just can’t. This straightforward narrative of the Lionheart Empire’s War History is like one of those, not something you expect in a game. What’s more annoying is that you have to manually turn each page; it can’t be automated!
To have Da Fei stare at these dry lines of text for several seconds manually! Da Fei’s going nuts!
At this moment, Da Fei let out a long sigh: "Have all of you finished reading it?"
Selvia frowned, "I’ve read it three times!"
Anlicia sighed, "This is the order of Lord City Lord! Plus there’s the Duke’s six-month return deadline."
Catherine sighed, "Captain, do you realize how painful it is for me, a pirate, to read while flipping through a dictionary?"
I’m defeated! Even if it’s true that books not borrowed can’t be read, I still can’t read them! But now everyone’s spirits are high, and I mustn’t dampen their enthusiasm. Not to mention wisdom is directly linked to understanding Master God-level, which is something we must take seriously.
Da Fei sighed: "I understand, I will arrange for you to go on an independent expedition at the right time to help you grow."
Anlicia smiled, "It’s just a way to improve; we’re not saying we have to leave Lord City Lord."
Selvia nodded, "Yes, yes!"
Can’t you two be less pretentious! Hmm? Catherine’s staring in silence, looking deep in thought!
Da Fei couldn’t help but feel a pinch in his heart — is she destined to leave me? At that moment, Da Fei suddenly felt gloom. Since leaving me is inevitable, I must train her to graduation before letting her go!
Da Fei suddenly remembered Yanran’s previous complaint, that neither she, Bai Huasha, nor Bu Feiyan had made any progress, so why not send the three of them on an independent expedition to help? Although they might not make a big impact, gaining some real-world wisdom points is key. Besides, it shows support, while letting the whole world’s players see a bit of a show-off.
Hmm, not bad at all, considering how advanced the Sky Ship is now, their roles are becoming more insignificant, I’ll send them out when there’s some downtime.
Just as Da Fei was thinking this, Tamilia returned with a cheerful report: "Lord City Lord, there’s no need for us to use fire buckets to carry water over such a long distance. I just went over to check, the depth of the Blood Pool and the space of the Bat Nest can completely accommodate our Sky Ship, so we can transmit directly inside and use the Demon God’s high-pressure impact pump to extract the water."
Woah hahahaha, at last, my high-pressure pump has found a production purpose! And it’s just the time to let Flying get a little wet and trigger some sailing training effects, no matter how small.
Da Fei happily said: "Alright, let’s transmit inside, extract all the blood water, and then demolish! Oh, right, the other six regular Bat Nests can’t be transmitted into, so we’ll have to send in some Evil Demons to carry water manually in barrels."
"Yes, Lord City Lord!"
With Tamilia activating the teleportation again, a flash of demon light changed the scene, and the sky ship banged with a splash, landing accurately in the Blood Pool. This space size, so satisfying!
Seeing the Sky Ship’s appearance, Hillsea, who was measuring with a strange little bottle by the Blood Pool, excitedly waved repeatedly toward Da Fei’s driving cabin, "Master! I have an important suggestion!"
Nice, I appreciate employees who can produce practical results from time to time! Da Fei promptly smiled, "Miss Tamilia, bring him up!"
"Roger that!"
As a Space Gate opened by the pool, Hillsea excitedly entered the driving cabin, "Master, how do you plan to manage these blood waters?"
Da Fei looked at Tamilia, and Tamilia replied calmly, "These blood waters are filled with rich energy, perfect for replenishing the depletion of the central lake. Naturally, they should be transported directly into the lake water."
Hillsea anxiously said, "Master, Miss Tamilia, these blood waters are refined top-quality plasma extracted by Bloodstone Essence. It would be too wasteful to just dilute them by mixing with ordinary liquids. I noticed that in your central space you have a Wine Pool specifically set aside for holding your liquor, so I suggest dedicating a Blood Pool specifically for retaining this high-grade blood."
Da Fei’s brows jumped — sounds quite reasonable! So he hurriedly asked Tamilia, "Is it operationally feasible?"
Tamilia chuckled, "The construction of such a large pool constitutes a substantial project, but it’s not a problem. In my eyes, everything is energy, and if Hillsea has a better suggestion, it couldn’t be better."
Da Fei remembered something and asked, "Hey, once the Blood Pool is completed, it’s like moving it here, right? Will that promote our newly constructed Bat Barracks?"
Hillsea joyfully said, "Surely you’re the master for thinking deeply. Actually, I’ve considered this too, but I’ve never tried it before, so I didn’t dare jump to conclusions. But isolating the Blood Pool is definitely a wise move."
Da Fei nodded approvingly, "Good, I appreciate your attitude in handling things."
Hillsea joyfully said, "Thank you for the compliment, Master, I will certainly cultivate new troops with even more diligence!"
Da Fei was even more satisfied. No doubt, this approach is more reliable than Tamilia often painting grandiose blueprints, like ambitiously expanding a dark ecosystem almost rivaling the World Tree Space.
Just then, Tamilia clapped and laughed, "Our Holy Vine significantly absorbed the Hydra Soul, gaining considerable Blood Attributes, perhaps this Blood Pool could be specifically used for Holy Vine to refine Blood Energy, allowing it to unleash various potent Blood Spells, such as the common Blood Mist Magic. Meanwhile, this Blood Pool might also enhance the Blood Attributes of Parasitic Vines."
Hillsea praised, "Miss Tamilia is insightful!"
Da Fei chuckled wryly. Again with the "perhaps" and "possibly," you’re getting ambitious! But, I like it!
Da Fei laughed, "Alright, let’s promptly establish the Blood Pool. Tomorrow, I have an even more grandiose dark ecosystem blueprint to inform everyone of." Sure enough, after Lucky Hand’s cooldown of a day, assembling the powers of over a thousand Evil Demon Flower Demon Vine Demons, smashingly capturing the mushroom seeds above the Mushroom Forest like stars!
Hillsea enthusiastically said, "Then I’ll continue with my tasks ashore."
"Yes, go ahead, keep it up!"
Just as Da Fei was satisfied with his positive performance, Selvia stepped forward, "Captain, Lamia has sent a message that she received the roster and has begun assembling supplies. To facilitate our army’s docking in her territory, she’s set her territory’s camp to neutral..."
Da Fei chuckled wryly, waiting until Hillsea had left before coming to report, why are you being so formal? However, this hands-on attitude is great, and I appreciate it too! Wahahaha!
Selvia continued, "Lamia also has an important update, our army’s harassment on Shadow City has created a shortage of 30,000 units of grain there, which is likely to cause unknown effects in the region, and potentially a huge business opportunity. She’s asking for your instructions for the next move."
Da Fei couldn’t help but smile: "I consumed 30,000 units of grain? Was it really that many?"
Selvia placed a Magic Map on the table and nodded: "Our army attacked 11 buildings in total, including 1 trading post, 3 taverns, 1 resource warehouse, with the other 6 being granaries. Based on the durability of these warehouses, they are likely level 10 buildings, each capable of holding 10,000 units of supplies. The damage to 6 granaries of 30,000 units of grain is precisely within logic."
So that’s it! Da Fei began pondering the profoundness of this information. As for the business opportunity, naturally, it referred to organizing some grain to sell to them. However, having stirred a hornet’s nest, all hell cities have boosted their defense levels, seizing grain is no longer feasible.
Therefore, I guess I’ll have to find a way to transport grain from the Elf Kingdom? Damn, that’s aiding the enemy, right? However, as great men taught us, focus on the enemy’s weaknesses, and right now Shadow City is the only weakness, so it’s the only thing we can keep targeting.
Da Fei couldn’t decide and instructed, "Reply to Lamia, keep a close watch on the situation in Shadow City."
"Understood."
Now Da Fei was free again, so he decided to go to the lakeshore to plant the twenty-plus mushrooms he had just obtained. (To be continued.
