Chapter 96: I'm Always Ready!
Hearing Lord Death's words, Baron Edra couldn't help but be stunned: "Yes, the amount of mining per day has decreased!"
The number of mining skeletons is not decreasing, why is the number of secret stones obtained by mining every day decreasing?
"Could it be that someone stole my secret stone!"
Baron Edra immediately thought of this possibility, and he couldn't help but be furious, and quickly turned around and went to the mine.
Baron Edra rushed to the minecart, found several henchmen in charge of mining, and questioned them carefully, and finally found the main reason for the reduction in mining efficiency.
The territory is located next to a Gobi stone mountain, this towering stone mountain is Nanshan, where the secret stone vein is located, but due to the special material of the stone mountain, the internal structure is complex, many secret stones are hidden deep in the interior of the South Mountain, and it is difficult to be excavated in large quantities.
The situation of the secret stone branch in Nanshan is about a whole vein, and the secret stone is clustered in several different places in the vein. The whole vein is very large, long and deep, but the secret stone division is very scattered, digging a secret stone gathering place can dig a large number of secret stones in a short time, but after hollowing out, you have to find a new secret stone gathering place.
This repetition greatly delays the efficiency of daily mining, after all, the skeletons will only follow orders to mine, and the farmers do not have the technology to accurately survey the location of the ore veins.
In this case, it is necessary to ensure that indiscriminate mining cannot lead to the collapse of Nanshan, so the efficiency will inevitably decrease a lot.
Only by finding a place where a large number of secret stones are gathered, can you increase the amount of mining income per day for a certain period of time, in addition, although there are also secret stones in places other than a large number of secret stones, but the number is much rarer.
Originally, An Baichen also wanted to invest more mining skeletons for mining, thinking that this would increase the secret stones obtained from mining every day.
Judging from the news he has learned so far, An Baichen feels that his plan has failed.
Unless you find someone who is proficient in surveying ore veins or has the means to survey the exact location of ore veins, blindly increasing the mining skeleton will not improve mining efficiency, but will only increase the consumption of undead breath.
"Lord Death, there is another reason that also affects the efficiency of mining. ”
"What is the reason?"
"The high-intensity mining of the mining skeletons day and night has caused a certain degree of damage to their arms, and some of the mining skeletons have broken drill bits. ”
Hearing Baron Edla's words, An Baichen hurriedly summoned the data of the mining skeleton and looked at it.
Sure enough, half of the mining skeletons showed varying degrees of bone loss.
The texture of the stone in the Eske continent is much harder than that of the earth, and although the arms of the mining skeletons have been modified, and they also have a certain amount of undead aura protection and blessing, but under the long-term friction and excavation operations, there is still inevitable wear and tear.
Twenty-four hours a day of uninterrupted mining, more than 20 days in a row, even an alloy drill bit has to be lost.
"When it comes to bone loss, I'm ignoring it. ”
An Baichen looked at the tattered arms of the mining skeletons, but they were still diligently digging with their heads down, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Baron Edra asked, "Lord Death, what should I do?"
"It's okay, I'll fix them. ”
Fixing these losses doesn't require the consumption of undead breath, just a new bone module, and the world of the dead has enough skeleton materials as a backup.
"You can sacrifice these 110,000 secret stones first. ”
"Okay. ”
Baron Edra nodded hurriedly and returned to the warehouse.
He followed the instructions of Lord Death, placed the black box on the ground, and the blood-colored circle on the black box began to light up, forming a plane connection with the altar of the dead and building a plane passage.
When the red magic circle light enveloped the entire warehouse, the secret stones began to transmit, and one by one they quickly appeared on the altar of the undead, piling up into a mountain.
After several acts by Baron Edla, all the secret stones in several humble warehouses were successfully transferred to the altar of the dead.
"Sacrifice!"
An Baichen's will shrouded the altar of the undead, and under the control of the god of death, the mysterious patterns on the altar of the dead lit up, and a glimmer of light appeared, and the massive secret stones were gradually submerged in the light, turning into wisps of undead breath one by one.
The undead aura composed of 110,000 secret stones after refining is an incomparably large number, and a huge and incomparably large undead aura tornado appeared on the altar of the undead!
It is grayish-white and huge, connecting the Altar of the Dead and the sky of the World of the Dead, a terrifying disaster and a spectacle of the World of the Dead.
After the last upgrade of the world level, the area of the world of the dead has expanded again, and An Baichen has long been prepared, and there are no world buildings near the altar of the dead.
Although the Undead Tornado looks exaggerated and terrifying, it does not cause any substantial damage to the undead world.
An Baichen watched the tornado of the undead breath, it spun and roared wildly, like a roaring beast, under the control of the will of death and the will of the world, gradually soaring upward, disappearing into the gray-white thick clouds.
[Congratulations to the manager, you have obtained 900544 points of undead breath!]
"Nine hundred thousand points of undead breath!"
An Baichen couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction, and his heart was extremely excited.
This is a huge amount of undead breath that has never been seen before, which makes An Baichen, who originally only had more than 4,000 points of undead breath left, bulge his pockets all of a sudden.
"It's a wonderful feeling to be rich. ”
An Baichen opened the world information and began to check, due to the arrival of the new undead breath, the upper limit of the world's lifespan has increased to 28,604 days.
78 years of life!
This is about the upper limit of lifespan of a normal human, but it is still far from the lifespan purchase requirement of the [Reaper's Treasure House] for hundreds of years.
However, An Baichen is already very satisfied, he has finally corrected his lifespan, and he doesn't need to be a short-lived ghost every day.
"Huh? It stands to reason that the upper limit of more than 20,000 days of lifespan should be enough to upgrade the undead world again, right?"
An Baichen looked at his phone, and no notification message popped up for a long time.
He needs a lifespan of 1,000 days to upgrade the world of the dead for the first time, and a lifespan of 5,000 days for the second upgrade, so it is speculated that the third upgrade to the world of the dead should require a lifespan of about 10,000 days.
He already has enough lifespan, why can't he upgrade the world of the dead?
An Baichen was a little confused, if he could upgrade the world of the undead, he should be able to create level 3 special undead, so that there would be no pressure at all when facing high-level knights.
Just as An Baichen was pondering, a new notification message popped up on his phone.
[The lifespan of the undead world is detected to be more than 10,000 days, start a new advanced task, please complete the advanced task as soon as possible and upgrade the world of the undead!]
"Hmm, the third upgrade, do I need to complete the advanced task before I can continue to level up?"
An Baichen opened the world information panel, and sure enough, a new advanced mission appeared.
Advanced Quest [New World]: The manager must find a second alternate world where the undead can be cast, find the summoner of the new world, and successfully complete the ritual of summoning the undead.
The mission requirements are clear, find the second different world, and complete the ritual of summoning the undead.
"It's not a difficult task. ”
An Baichen looked at the quest information and muttered to himself, he had seen the upgrade option of the Altar of the Dead on the list of world buildings, and he could find a new different world through the upgraded Altar of the Dead, and then find a suitable summoner through the fantasy items of the World of the Dead.
However, this way of finding the world requires a large amount of undead breath, and the other worlds found are very random, and it is likely that there will be high-level worlds that An Baichen cannot control.
If you find a high-level world, the people of the other world in this world are very powerful in themselves, how can they have the need to summon the undead?
At that time, An Baichen will only waste a lot of undead breath in vain, and in the end, he will get nothing.
"Now is not the time to develop a new world. ”
After thinking about it for a while, An Baichen decided not to complete this advanced task for the time being.
"At present, the level 2 special skeleton is enough to deal with the high-level knights on the Iske continent, I should first finish the construction of the city of the dead, stabilize the groups and forces of the undead summoners on the Isk continent, and then develop the new world. ”
"When the time comes, accumulate enough undead breath and form an undead army, even in the face of a powerful new world, you will have the confidence to develop. ”
The truth of greed and chewing is well understood, and the Esker continent can't wait to develop the new world before it is completed, and in the end it is likely that both ends will not please both ends and will not get anything.
After An Baichen made up his mind, he no longer cared about this advanced task, and instead began to think about how to use the 900,000 points of undead breath.
First of all, An Baichen took out 20,000 points of undead breath and replaced the soul fire on the last two body modules of Gu Aotian with the soul fire of a level 2 special skeleton, completing the last step of transformation.
There are still more than 880,000 undead breath left, and An Baichen has already made a plan for the general idea of building a city of the undead.
He dialed Nigel's phone: "Nigel, have you prepared all the supplies you need to build the city?"
Nigel was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and said respectfully: "Lord Death, I'm ready." ”
"Okay, sacrifice all these building materials to me, and I will arrange for the gods to build the city of the dead. ”
"Okay. ”
Nigel nodded, and he took the parchment to the warehouse where the building materials were stacked: "Lord Death, this is part of the building materials, and I have been collecting and purchasing new materials recently. ”
Nigel paused and said, "However, due to the rapid changes in the situation in Sand City recently, many large and small forces of the Goodwill Awakened Chamber of Commerce are making some small moves, deliberately raising prices and shortening the supply of materials related to the construction of the city. ”
"But please rest assured, Lord Death, I will deal with these people soon, and I will definitely not delay the construction of the City of the Dead!" Nigel's tone was calm when he said this, but An Baichen could hear the murderous intent and gore in his tone.
Nigel had never been a good businessman, and he had had blood on his hands and killed far more people than Edla.
"Well, you're doing a great job. ”
An Baichen nodded and said admiringly: "You have to do whatever it takes to take the Sand City in your hands! You don't have to worry about anyone's revenge afterwards, the City of the Undead is your strong backing." ”
"Yes, Lord Death. ”
Nigel nodded vigorously and said, "I will definitely take the Sand City in my own hands and provide protection for the City of the Undead!"
An Baichen instructed him a few more words, and after getting the materials for building the city, An Baichen hung up the phone and found Yan Yumo, who was still staying in the Sand City.
These days, Yan Yumo has been secretly observing and restraining the situation in Sand City, she is secretly constantly assisting Nigel to deal with and control Sand City, so far Nigel is doing very well, the situation in Sand City is quite stable, and it is gradually in Nigel's hands.
After An Baichen recalled Yan Yumo, he teleported Yan Yumo to Edla's territory as a summoned undead through the plane coordinates of Edla.
"Edra has seen the Divine Messenger. ”
Baron Edra knelt on the ground, kissed the ground, and greeted the Divine Envoy.
"Get up. ”
Yan Yumo's voice was very calm, Baron Edra stood up in response, and when he got up, he saw out of the corner of his eye that the Divine Envoy was holding a metal disc in his hand, which was a very small metal disc with strange patterns tattooed on it, which looked very strange.
"Edla. ”
"Your Excellency, please command!"
"Are you ready to build a city and create our own paradise for Lord Death and the many summoners of the dead? ”
"I'm always ready!!"
Edla's tone was unusually firm, his expression was excited, and his eyes shone with a glow of heat, like a fanatic believer in death, trembling with excitement in order to embrace death.
