Chapter 649: Chapter 383: The Team that Comes from the Depths of the Wilderness (4K)_2
"Alright."
Many of the instruments and equipment inside were still useful, such as when Tianyuan City wanted to produce large weapons on its own; some equipment was indispensable. This was all thanks to the assistance of some Miracle Buildings.
The reimbursement batch, Lord Shepherd had approved.
After all, he had occupied two Soul Sand Mines and was not lacking in ordinary finances.
Mu Yuan came to the Secret Realm and looked for the Officials in charge to purchase goods.
He took the exchange catalogue and began flipping through it page by page.
This exchange catalogue was also a Rare Level item, constantly updating with information about exchangeable treasures, many of which showed the words 'out of stock,' 'out of stock,' and 'out of stock.'
However, even if they were out of stock, he could still place an order, pay a premium to reserve, and the wait wouldn't be long.
This was, after all, the platform of the entire alliance, and items below the Epic level could basically be found.
"Legendary Breakthrough Package (Pan Shi City): 200K Contribution Points"
"Legendary Breakthrough Package (Nine Profound City): 250K Contribution Points"
"Legendary Breakthrough Package (Capital City): 300K Contribution Points"
The prices were not the same.
Because the 'potions' and other auxiliary materials used in the Breakthrough Packages were consistent, but the associated Breakthrough locales, ritual arrangements, and Miracle Buildings were not entirely the same. Obviously, the ritual venue in the Capital City was the highest grade, and its exchange price was the most expensive.
Mu Yuan glanced at the more than one million Contribution Points on his account. If he were to redeem in this way, he could not get many sets.
Of course, he would not exchange like that.
He did not need an entire set of Breakthrough Packages.
Even other Lords hardly ever exchanged like that.
Because, apart from the purchase and use of the ritual venue and the main material of Breakthrough treasures in the Breakthrough Package, the remaining materials could be purchased with Soul Crystals.
He scrolled down in search.
"Legendary Breakthrough Main Material (includes two potions and one treasure): 35K Contribution Points"
Mu Yuan rapidly placed four orders in succession.
Suddenly a prompt popped up.
"Notice: You have reached the purchase limit for this period. If you continue to buy, a 20% surcharge will be added incrementally."
"Notice: Would you like to purchase?"
Mu Yuan stopped his spree.
Legendary packages seldom run out of stock and seem easier to purchase compared to Occupational Level Breakthrough packages.
But in reality, it's because the former costs the precious and rare Contribution Points, and there are very few powerful individuals who have the wealth, qualifications, and need to purchase Legendary Breakthrough Packages.
The latter, in just one city region, has countless professionals in need of purchase.
The latter has a high production but an even higher demand.
Previously, Mu Yuan had Liu Miumiu place orders for four sets on his behalf, using his own quota.
Of course, this didn't adhere to the rules, but exceptional situations require exceptional measures, and after all, he did have some connections higher up.
This time, he was still able to order four sets before reaching the limit, which seemed to be related to his recent elevation to a Three-star Lord; otherwise, there would be a limit after purchasing five sets.
The limit is probably to prevent some wealthy Lords from allowing their subordinates to try again and again, exchanging numbers for higher chances. Continue your adventure with m|v-l'e-NovelFire
This is a wasteful behavior.
Mu Yuan stroked his chin, "This is a bit troublesome, I'll have to ask Isloa later if there's any main material that can substitute. After all..."
"Completely relying on purchase is indeed not realistic, because..."
His need was not for several sets, or dozens of sets, but for hundreds of sets.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuan's head started to ache again.
...
Around the same time.
In the Furious Region, where the sky and earth almost touched, hundreds of meters high energy waves crashed against the massive airship, time and time again.
The passenger airship looked like a small toy that could be shattered at any moment.
Yet, it was firm as a rock.
On closer inspection, one could find that an enormous Dimensional Pocket enveloped the entire airship within. The spatial barriers were more solid than mountains, unruffled by the violent energy tides, not shaking in the slightest.
A blue-haired girl rode on a Slime, holding up the vast space, invincible in this realm.
"Truly worthy of me!"
"Sure is a breeze to say!"
Duo Lai was actually only good at destruction; its Spatial Devour and Space-tearing Seal were all about destruction without protection. However, no matter how you looked at it, it was also a legend proficient in spatial powers. With a Space Urn in hand, it effortlessly exhibited power far exceeding that in the hands of the Jackal Man king.
It was just that when holding up the enormous space, it moved slowly.
The space was too heavy indeed.
Several hundred seconds later.
"Out, finally out,"
Duo Lai couldn't help gasping for air, suddenly feeling that storing the airship in his Dimensional Pocket and then escorting Daisy and the others through the Furious Region might have been easier?
A careless mistake!
"Are you okay, Duo Lai?"
Lian Yue and Xi Liu, also on guard outside, couldn't help but ask.
Duo Lai instantly stood up straight and breathed easier, "Of course, of course; such a small task wouldn't tire me out. I could go back and forth ten times more without a problem!"
He escorted everyone to the edge of the Furious Region.
The vast expanse outside, the continuous mountain ranges, were now in sight.
Only then did he bid a reluctant farewell to Xi Liu and the others.
He actually felt a bit excited about going out on a big adventure, but Duo Lai was very clear that he couldn't leave his territory right now. Being away for two days was already a long time; he had to return.
"Bye-bye, remember to contact me when you come back."
"Oh, and bring back some special products for me...for the Lord, especially food. If you go to Pan Shi City, you can visit the shop at 335 Pan Rock Street; their Dragon's Beard Hotpot is delicious," Duo Lai added.
Daisy waved goodbye, also reluctant to part with such a great bodyguard.
The group returned to the airship.
"Now it's time for us to take care of official business," Daisy said.
She took out a map.
The landmarks on it were very scarce.
She pointed to one area toward the southeast, "This place is said to have a temporary pioneer camp, maybe a thousand kilometers from here, two thousand, or perhaps more."
"Our first stop will be here, making our first pot of gold and also determining our distance from Shiling City."
...
...
Two days later.
In the depths of the wilderness of the Twilight Dominion.
In a green valley shrouded in mist, Miracle Buildings known as watchtowers stand tall, dispersing the drifting strands of red mist in the surrounding atmosphere.
There are three watchtowers in total, jointly guarding this not-so-small camp.
Around them, there are also various Arrow Towers, Multishot Arrow Towers, and Beam Towers.
Inside the camp, large tents are pitched, with soldiers in different uniforms standing guard at the tent entrances. There are also mighty figures in splendid armor, lords wandering within the camp.
"Two Four-order Mountain Giants spotted to the east; our group can't handle them alone, any brothers interested in joining forces to subdue them?"
"We're preparing to tackle the Land of Filth to the west; such dangerous places must be cleared early. But, this Land of Filth is quite large, and after this expedition, we fear our filth accumulation will break through the first threshold."
"Buying Purification Potions, buying Purification Potions, does any group still have them? We offer a 30% premium!"
"Get lost, you can't get them even at a 50% premium now!"
"When are the logistic supplies going to arrive? If this goes on, not to mention medicine, even food won't be that plentiful."
"You can actually return to Shiling City or Liujiang City to buy enough supplies before continuing exploration and pioneering."
"Don't we know that, but how long would that round trip take? Besides, we're a mercenary group; we can't bring a lot of goods."
The supplies weren't extremely scarce yet, but time was money, and time was power; nobody wanted to waste precious time on meaningless back and forth.
A group of lords, mercenary group leaders, looked at one another; all of them hoped that someone would be impatient enough to return first.
No other reason; with fewer people in the camp, the supplies would last longer, after all.
So many pioneering groups squeezed into this small camp, was it necessary?
"Wait, looks like there's another pioneer group arriving?"
A certain lord was taken aback.
He received a message from his scout outside the camp.
The second lord/group leader received the news.
They looked pained.
Suddenly someone spoke, "No, this doesn't look like a pioneer group. This team is coming from the north, from the depths of the wilderness."
Newly arriving pioneer groups naturally come from the south.
Those coming from the north usually belong to teams that went out exploring and are returning for rest.
With just over twenty small and large teams inside the camp, everybody was so familiar with each other, at least by face.
The team coming from the deeper north was unfamiliar.
Strikingly unfamiliar.
After all,
a Dragon Girl with her wings spread soared through the air.
And behind her, a huge silver-white airship, like a great White Shark, emerged from the drifting clouds and descended upon this place.
