Chapter 518 - 348: Mo Yi Detects an Alien Lord and Directly Makes a Run for It!
Having noted the somewhat unique wanderer "Liu Yiqing", Zi Liyuan turned his attention to other pieces of information.
In the regional channel, the most talked-about topics were still the various rankings.
Everyone on the leaderboard was promoting themselves, trying to recruit others as their aides.
However, as lively as the discussions were now, they would get even more brutal once the Lords expanded their scouting ranges.
What Zi Liyuan found most amusing was that while many were seeking to purchase all sorts of resources, not a single one revealed their territory coordinates openly—they were all playing their cards close to the chest.
Bypassing channel 10086, he looked at the Blue Star Human Race channel, which was even livelier.
"I can’t believe there are so many traitors among the Blue Star humans, all wanting to put Zi Liyuan to death. Brother Zi, you must hang in there!"
Your next chapter is on empire
"Damn Blue Star traitors, may you die a horrible death! Brother Zi, keep it up and get rid of all those traitors!"
"Dare to mess with the name ’Human Butcher’, you Blue Star traitors deserve to have your nations exterminated and your people wiped out!"
"Hmph, disregarding the interests of the Blue Star Human Race, even if you manage to scurry into the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, you’ll only be heading down a dead-end!"
"The four Ancient Empires will not let you Blue Star traitors off!"
"Pah! Hope someone tears that bastard Zi Liyuan to pieces!"
"For slaughtering hundreds of millions of Blue Star Human Race compatriots, that beast Zi Liyuan deserves a death worse than punishment!"
"..."
A mix of support and curses caused the corner of Lord Zi’s eye to twitch uncontrollably.
The majority of his supporters were from the Great Xia Empire, while the curses were mostly from people of the Coalition of Nations, as well as a few from the noble families within the Great Xia Empire.
While waiting to collect resources, Lord Zi was chuckling as he read the chat records and was making a list of the Lords who cursed and hexed him, jotting down their codes in a little notebook.
They’re enjoying cursing now, but when he tracked them down later, they would kneel even faster.
Zi Liyuan: Buying silver ingots, the more, the better. Private message me if you have some; we’ll discuss the price. If not, I’ll ask again in a few minutes.
The Lords who were in the middle of an argument suddenly saw Zi Liyuan’s message, and the usually bustling Blue Star chat channel experienced a momentary freeze.
"Caught a glimpse of Boss Zi himself, didn’t expect him to actually pop in."
"Hey, where did all those Blue Star traitors who were happily cursing just now go? How come they went silent all of a sudden?"
"Pssh, aren’t they just scared that Boss Zi will note down their Lord codes for a reckoning in the fall."
"As expected, these Blue Star traitors are gutless creatures, only daring to bitch and moan behind his back."
"No help for it, Boss Zi’s reputation has long scared these wimps witless."
"Is Boss Zi gearing up to upgrade to a Level 6 Lord’s Mansion? Too awesome."
"Too bad, my own damn place is so poor it makes me want to cry, still gathering materials for a Level 2 Lord’s Mansion, (?^?)!"
"Boss Zi, maybe you could ask some of the members from the ancient royal families, they have many followers and most resources."
"That’s right, didn’t someone from the declining Song Zhao royal family gather a bunch of people? Maybe they have the silver ingots you need."
...
With just one appearance from Zi Liyuan, the hostile and cursing-filled Blue Star chat channel instantly became much clearer, with lots of people giving him suggestions.
There were many suggesting, but not a single Lord contacted him, willing to trade with him.
Clearly, despite their appearances of being amicable, they were all wary of him, unwilling to submit and allow his territory to rise even faster.
Doesn’t everyone have the heart of a great Lord?
Without completely understanding the situation, these Lords were not willing to give up even the faintest glimmer of hope.
Seeing no useful information, Zi Liyuan opened the friend channel interface.
The requests to add him as a friend were stuck at 999+. He couldn’t be bothered to check each one and just deleted them all.
Now, only Shen Yurou and Mo Yi were in his friend interface, and even Wang Tie had not been added.
"Li Yuan, haven’t found a silver mine yet? Try using the treasure chests? I have twelve here, including two green ones."
Shen Yurou sent the timely message.
"No need, by tonight, I won’t be lacking that stuff anymore. Is there anything you’re short of? I’ll trade it to you later."
Zi Liyuan rarely showed a hint of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"What else can I lack but ores? The areas around my territory have too few ore resources, only food is in abundance."
After collecting a batch of supplies the previous night, Shen Yurou had already upgraded her Lord’s Mansion to Level 4. But to upgrade to Level 5 was not going to be as easy.
Quality ore resources were scarce, and it was still unclear how long it would take to collect them all.
She had already swept across a fifty-kilometer radius, killing every monster herself.
The carcasses of wild beasts and monsters were dragged back to her territory, providing a bounty of food units. After sustaining her subjects, there was still a surplus left.
Xiao Yurou complained before directly sending a screen capture of the resource display from her Lord interface to Zi Liyuan.
Not just the resource screenshot, Xiao Yurou also sent him an introduction to a building.
"Damn! Why can your Smelting Plant smelt top-quality metal ingots?!"
[Upgraded Smelting Plant (Green): Capable of consuming ten times the normal ore resources to smelt top-quality metal ingots!]
No wonder Zi Liyuan was surprised; normally, ordinary ore could only be smelted into ordinary metal ingots, and top-quality ores were needed to smelt top-quality ingots.
But Xiao Yurou was able to use ten times the resources to smelt normal quality ore into top-quality ingots.
