Chapter 368

Such an uncertain answer suggests that five or six months is not impossible; this construction timeline is simply endless.

"Ahem."

Perhaps considering that Yun Shen might change his mind and pause her research, Jiang Lan promptly remedied the situation: "I was referring to the progress of a Legendary-grade mining ship. If it were Shi Shi-grade, it could actually be faster."

Yun Shen's expression softened slightly, and he asked: "What about an Excellent-grade mining ship?"

Jiang Lan shook her head: "I haven't considered such low-grade mining ships for the time being. I estimate that this type of large, flight-capable mining building must be at least Shi Shi-grade."

Yun Shen made the final decision: "Then make the Shi Shi-grade one first. You should still remember what I mentioned earlier, about my method?"

"Of course I remember."

Jiang Lan would never forget Yun Shen's method of forcibly advancing the grade of items.

As long as Yun Shen could elevate an Shi Shi-grade mining ship to Legendary-grade, she might be able to reverse-engineer its manufacturing process!

"That's good. Later, once the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens have captured other territories, have them open the Transition Gate. You can go over and clean up; it won't be much trouble."

"Understood."

Jiang Lan knew Yun Shen's goal was nothing more than her five-fold loot drop rate; he wanted to get more items, especially Territory Advancement Card fragments. Such fragments could generally only be obtained with a certain probability when destroying a Territory Core.

Fortunately, the task of destroying buildings and Territory Cores was not complicated. She believed she wouldn't encounter many in a single day, so it wouldn't delay her research progress too much.

Subsequently, the Profound Heaven Research Institute began to manufacture Transition Gates at full capacity.

The manufacturing difficulty of any teleportation-type item is extremely high.

Since the current Transition Gates were only Common-grade, the manufacturing speed was very fast, about one every three minutes.

If this were any other Common-grade technological creation, the manufacturing speed would be lightning-fast; three minutes was considered a snail's pace.

At this rate, wanting to manufacture one thousand of them would take about a day.

However, it wasn't a big problem. He didn't need that many for the time being, and with the stock of high-grade spirit food he already had, he didn't need to wait to invade Aojin Jia's territory immediately.

But then again, Yun Shen wanted to let the bullets fly for a while longer.

Even with his spirit food support, the lords of the alliance led by the Bai Xiong Country could hold out for at most three or four days, or perhaps only two, before showing signs of rapid decline.

He wanted to see just how fiercely they would fight.

The points in the Hundred-Village Hegemony don't just go up; if units on one's own side are killed, points are also deducted.

If he were to squeeze into the battlefield now, he might be taken advantage of by the lords of the Bai Xiong Country and other nations, sharing their pressure and reducing their casualties, thereby indirectly increasing their points.

That wouldn't be convenient for his point control.

At present, everyone is still in a competitive relationship, and the previous agreement was merely a non-aggression pact. Yun Shen wouldn't feel embarrassed about such calculations.

Time passed in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, the sky turned dark.

Yet within the 52014th Novice Town, undercurrents were surging and friction was constant; casualties could appear at any moment.

Having experienced half a day of invading and being invaded, both sides suffered casualties, and only the Dragon Country lords could barely be considered to have kept themselves out of harm's way.

The reason it was "barely" was that Dragon Country lords would occasionally encounter lords or troops from other nations near their novice villages.

If it were the Bai Xiong Country alliance, it would be easy to talk, but if they ran into the Lighthouse Country alliance, war might break out.

Fortunately, the Dragon Country lords all had many Shi Shi-grade troops, and with Yun Shen's spirit food supply, their strength was quite solid; they basically had no problems in one-on-one fights.

However, it was precisely these small frictions that allowed the points of the Dragon Country novice villages to grow slightly.

Of course, these points were not important. Anyway, as long as the other four Dragon Country novice villages couldn't make it into the top three and receive reputation rewards, the resources opened from those few treasure chests wouldn't actually amount to much.

Before dinner, Dmitri had already delivered the promised Town Invasion Card to Yun Shen, not breaking his word, which left the latter quite satisfied.

In addition, another Town Invasion Card was spawned within the Dragon Country novice village, so Yun Shen now had a total of three Town Invasion Cards.

Just as Yun Shen finished his meal and was sitting in the alloy safe house thinking about when it would be appropriate to take action, he suddenly heard the doorbell.

After opening the door, Yun Shen discovered that the visitor was Xise.

"My lord, I wonder if there is anything else you need me for?"

Xise was quite obsessed with fighting and grinding monsters, so even at dinnertime, she might return quite late. Therefore, Yun Shen had to continue having the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens notify her to come over.

"Oh, it's like this: I obtained a cultivation technique this morning and wanted to ask if you think it's suitable for you."

Yun Shen then handed the small tablet to Xise; he had already recorded the relevant descriptions of the 【Extreme Blood Demon Art】 on it in advance.

When Xise finished reading the description, the expressions on her face changed richly: suspicion, daze, contemplation, anticipation...

Seeing this, Yun Shen asked: "It looks like there's a high probability that it's suitable for you, right?"

Xise nodded: "Although it is a martial arts cultivation technique, whether it is truly suitable can only be known after trying. I can only say the probability is quite high."

In the Myriad Races Battlefield, unsuitable cultivation techniques cannot be learned. Therefore, as long as Xise tries it, being able to learn it would represent feasibility.

Yun Shen nodded: "That's good. Then I'll keep this technique for you and bring it in for you in a year. You go rest first."

In a year, the new district would become an old district, and it would be possible to bring Legendary-grade items from the Main World into the battlefield.

However, after hearing this, Xise did not leave immediately. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and asked: "My lord, I heard from the other Profound Heaven Iron Maidens that because their favorability is at the maximum value, they can descend to the Main World with you?"

As if he had guessed Xise's thoughts, Yun Shen nodded with a light smile: "It is indeed possible. However, the Blue Star has regulations: the number of troops descending to the Blue Star cannot be too high, and once they leave the residential area, they must be under supervision."

【Your hero Xise, in order to increase her favorability toward you as quickly as possible so she can learn the cultivation technique sooner, favorability +1, current favorability 96.】

【Your hero Xise, in order to become stronger, is striving to fall in love with you, favorability +1, current favorability 97.】

【Your hero Xise is imagining in her heart the feeling of being ravaged beneath you that day, favorability +1, current favorability 98.】

Yun Shen was left dumbfounded; he hadn't realized favorability could be increased like this.

This should be considered a form of psychological suggestion to herself, right?

The Blood Valkyrie race is truly extremely obsessed with enhancing their own strength.

The next moment, something unexpected yet within reason occurred.

Xise seemed to realize that the effect of simple psychological suggestion was limited, so she spoke up to ask.

"Then... may I ask, my lord, can dual cultivation increase favorability?"
