Chapter 136: Chapter 138: Need to Break Even

“`

A large number of bodies were eroded into Red Prison Crystals, and the increasingly intense radioactive contamination and zombie virus in the environment were gradually decayed and assimilated by the Red Prison Element.

“Not only did we not lose anything this time, but we also made a tidy profit,” Blackhand mused as he looked at the large pile of statues, feeling rather sentimental.

He came here also to sponge some experience, and he hadn’t anticipated the current situation.

Each zombie statue or mutant beast statue is a raw material for making munitions, and even after purification, they can be used as energy.

If we really calculate, as long as all these Red Prison Crystal statues are processed into munitions and then sold, after a full cycle, without saying a windfall, a 100% profit margin could be earned after deducting the cost.

Take the Laser Cannon’s Crimson Burst Mode, for instance, the consumption is high, but it depends on whether it’s cost price or retail price. Using it oneself definitely means calculating it at cost price, but if it’s sold, that’s the retail price.

It is because of this use in killing enemies, otherwise, how could only a 100% profit be made?

“How are the negotiations with the other forces?” Dove didn’t care how much Blackhand earned; he was more interested in how the reinforcements were doing.

“The native powers are giving us the run-around, and the Lords’ stance is still unclear, it seems they followed into the Rich Ocean to get a share of the spoils,” Blackhand said with an even tone.

“Which means that the native heroes are now in charge of the other Lords,” Plague said as he walked in after arranging the follow-up matters.

“So, the natives have gotten involved?” Black Eyes’ expression turned somewhat unsightly.

At such a moment, they dared to stab them in the back. Although providing aid was a matter of affection, not aiding was the proper duty, but the natives’ attitude made a lot of Spirit Monsters quite unhappy.

“Don’t worry, there’ll come a time when they will bleed profusely,” Blackhand was definitely annoyed too, but no worries, after this was over, those natives would have a difficult time.

When that time came, he would make them pay a hundredfold, dealing with other servers in terms of economy and finance had no effect, but within their own server, they could fully make them realize how closely related munitions were to them.

Those powers that were quibbling with him, he would directly support their opposing forces, even the rebels, local powers, and so on, give these people preferential policies, new-type munitions, while raising the purchase price for these equivocating powers, giving them outdated munitions and such.

Even more ruthlessly, directly support some extreme factions. Once chaos ensued, he would ensure these powers were thrown into disarray. Want new-type munitions? Blackhand would of course sell, but as for the price, well, that was negotiable.

He was called Blackhand after all; not playing dirty would be a waste of his name. Don’t be fooled by his amiable daily interactions with various forces; when it came to action, he was utterly uncompromising.

In the past, he had been willing to sacrifice Demon Blood for the benefit of his territory. Being ruthless to his own people meant naturally he would be even more ruthless to outsiders.

“Alright, you guys keep watch here; I have matters to tend to.” Blackhand had sponged the experience he came for, so naturally, he was ready to leave. There was no reason to linger.

“Hold on, when you go back, ask the boss if there’s a way to counter locate the enemy. If possible, we can launch a stealth attack. If we manage to get the treasure they use for teleportation, wouldn’t that mean even greater profits?” Dove suddenly suggested.

On hearing this, Blackhand was also intrigued; it was indeed a good idea. However, the risk was somewhat high. If Tian Qi were leading the team, or Demon Blood teamed up with Evil Whisper, he would agree without hesitation. But with Dove’s lower level, he was afraid of mishaps if he were to lead.

Unless he brought along Plague and Disease Spirit Monster, but they couldn’t leave, as the city’s defenses relied entirely on these Spirit Monsters.

“I will report to the master. As for how to decide, it still needs to be determined by the master,” Blackhand eventually did not object.

He had no way of reversing the calculation of the opponent’s spatial coordinates. Their method of teleporting didn’t seem like a Teleportation Gate, more akin to Teleportation Magic, transporting in groups at a time.

Teleportation is like opening a door; Qin Muye’s Super-space Transmission Channel and Teleportation Gates or Steles are like leaving the door open after it is opened unless shut down voluntarily. However, the enemy did it differently; it was more like opening the door for entry, then closing it, and repeating the cycle.

This also meant that their people simply had no way to break into the enemy’s teleportation.

Of course, the Super-space Transmission Channel could also do this, to activate and then shut down.

Blackhand hurried back to the Mage Tower and reported the latest war situation.

Qin Muye, upon hearing Dove’s suggestion, also pondered for a moment; the difficulty was indeed not trivial. Deciphering the opponent’s method of teleportation, it wouldn’t be easy without a month or so.

“`

“Looks like someone’s after my life with this move, pity it’s just a bunch of rats from the gutter, only capable of petty tricks.”

Regarding the deliberate driving of wild beasts by the Zombie Kingdom and the Wasteland City, Qin Muye asked to intensify their efforts. Though he was stuck with his advancement task, his Spirit Monster Heroes weren’t, and once this battle was over, all heroes would at least gain a significant increase in levels.

That was just the basics; they might even jump directly to level 40 or above.

These weren’t mere level 1 wild beasts but level 4, offering a hefty amount of experience.

Moreover, Qin Muye didn’t believe they could keep sending wild beasts endlessly.

“Master, shall we just let them do as they please?” Black Hand asked.

“No, go make arrangements. The missile silo should be ready, right? Calculate the timing, and hit them with a Crimson Cruise Missile, advancing directly from the direction of their teleportation entrance. Let them experience what a surprise means.”

Qin Muye was not to be trifled with; he was naturally going to counterattack.

“Make sure to calculate the frequency accurately, get ready first, and act around three o’clock tomorrow morning. If they stop before then, forget it.”

Weighing the pros and cons between satisfying anger and gaining experience, Qin Muye chose experience. He didn’t care much about the grudge, but if the enemy really sent a wild beast tide for a whole day, he would lose too much by giving up the experience just for spite.

He estimated that his own people could hold on, but it wasn’t certain that the enemy could.

The city’s defense was operating on a three-shift system; though it might be tiring, one keeps soldiers for years to use them at the crucial moment—it was unacceptable for Qin Muye to provide for them well only for them to slack off when it was time to fight.

“Got it, I’ll arrange it immediately,” Black Hand replied.

“Prepare several shots. It’s clear they are teleporting from two different servers, which means there’s a tacit agreement, but they’re definitely not in the same place, so there will be some delay in communication. It’s best to make sure both servers’ forces are taken care of,” Qin Muye instructed.

Black Hand naturally agreed and left to make preparations.

While this was an opportunity, it was also a great trouble. The enemy had the means to launch a sudden attack at any moment, and as long as their territories remained unchanged, they could strike at will, which would make them quite passive.

Therefore, the best scenario would be to destroy it completely, but not everyone could have Divine Artifact Level teleportation treasures like Qin Muye. These kinds of treasures were exceedingly precious.

Like Qin Muye, he only had one Super Space-Time Transmission Channel in addition to one pair of Bidirectional Teleportation Gates.

That was all he had.

Qin Muye glanced at the progress of his advancement task. Currently, the destruction of level 3 forces was at 4/10, meaning Demon Blood and Evil Tongue had eradicated at least 4 forces in the Rich Ocean, which was the only explanation for this increase.

Beyond that, he had also gained points, a substantial amount—1.2 million, though Qin Muye didn’t bother with the exact figures beyond that.

He suspected that the forces mentioned as level 3 had to be at least level 4; the level 3 ones would have already been finished off.

Looking again at the leaderboard, only the Sea Dragon King remained among the lords of the Rich Ocean server, likely still being hunted by the True Dragon Emperor.

Besides that, almost everyone in the Extreme Cold Ice Land was dead, leaving only Han Mei, who was ranked fourth.

At this point, once the Sea Dragon King and Han Mei die, all lords of the Rich Ocean and Extreme Cold Ice Land servers will have been eliminated.

As for the Wasteland City and the Zombie Kingdom, to be honest, as long as the True Dragon Emperor and Jiang Tianjun join forces, the others will definitely not stand a chance. One person per server, breaking them one by one would not be a problem.

The gold content of the first and second ranks is not for show.

If it weren’t for the issue with his territory, the Sea Dragon King might not necessarily lose. The highly flexible, ship-based territory has its advantages, but there are surely drawbacks too, or else the True Dragon Emperor would not be able to chase him.

However, the advantage is clear; up until now, neither the True Dragon Emperor nor Wang Junzi has been able to catch him, which speaks volumes about the uniqueness of the Sea Dragon King’s territory.
