Chapter 3369
The Sun Fortress had initially taken shape. 70,657 wild boar warriors were the absolute backbone. Regarding the Heavy Tank, the cultivation cost was too high and had to be postponed.
At the current stage, the busiest were the dwarf boar men. The population suddenly surged, and some of them were transferred to continue hollowing out the mountain from the inside to create living locations.
Small houses and collective dormitories couldn't be arranged for the time being. The population growth was too severe. With the physique of wild boar warriors, sleeping in the mountain space was nothing.
Su Xiao closed the fortress data. After the fortress was promoted to T0 rank, the active ore production increased to 1,000 units per day. It seemed like a lot, but it wasn't enough.
The channel for Caesar to sell alien beast fur and other items couldn't be cut off. This was also a major source of income.
Su Xiao evaluated for a moment and summoned Hausman.
"Hausman, you and Tufu take ten squads each and go hunting in the alien beast territory."
Regarding Tufu, whom Su Xiao mentioned, he had seen him once before. The first boar-headed person he saw was Tufu. At that time, the other party was pushing a dining cart and was responsible for delivering food to the prisoners.
Su Xiao heard the name Tufu and thought it was Butcher. However, with Tufu's style of doing things, calling him Butcher was no problem.
Tufu was very silent. When he was a laborer, his tongue was cut off by the supervisor. After transforming into a wild boar warrior, he was almost "reborn" once. His tongue naturally regenerated, but he remained silent.
Although Tufu was silent, he was very steady. On the contrary, Steel Tooth and Gluttony, one was a fierce iron-headed baby, and the other's brain capacity was perhaps the size of a walnut. Gluttony ate everything. Before, when sleeping, he had gnawed away most of the small house he lived in.
Su Xiao looked at the door. Gluttony's big head was peering outside the door, smiling foolishly. With his fat physique, he couldn't get in unless he broke the door frame.
Su Xiao had Hausman and Tufu take 60,000 wild boar warriors, divided into 20 squads, 3,000 wild boar warriors per squad, to hunt in the alien beast territory.
The 20 hunting squads wouldn't be too far apart. If a sudden situation occurred, they would look after each other.
Besides obtaining spoils, sending wild boar warriors out to hunt could let them exercise their "Combat Instinct" ability. After having handy cold weapons, the combat power of the wild boar warriors had significantly improved.
Such large-scale hunting, without calculating casualties, the income was not much worse than mining. If lucky, the spoils obtained in one day and night could be exchanged for 900 units of active ore. If lucky was average, it was about 700 units.
Developing according to the current progress, in at most five more days, Su Xiao would have the capital to initially wrestle with the Kin.
It was true that the three major Kin powers each had a million soldiers, but they wouldn't gather hundreds of thousands of soldiers at once. Basically, no one would command hundreds of thousands of soldiers to charge toward the enemy territory at the beginning of the war, except Su Xiao.
After having nothing important to do, Su Xiao felt that time passed very quickly. Without knowing it, a day had passed.
Every day he developed more, his side grew stronger. Brigadier General Reitz of the War Hammer troops, after opening the 'turbid,' didn't know where he got another batch of standard cold weapons, numbering about 40,000. Su Xiao wasn't polite and took them all.
That side seemed to have noticed something and didn't contact him again afterward. Su Xiao didn't care much about this point. Being able to get 100,000 standard cold weapons before was already unexpected. Getting another 40,000 this time was already satisfying.
When Su Xiao woke up from his dream, the morning sun outside the window shone in. Waking up from sleep, the number of wild boar warriors had broken through the 100,000 mark, reaching 101,457. This was the fruit brought by the early investment.
The aroma of food drifted over. Su Xiao extinguished the cigarette at his fingertips, and a female boar-headed person walked into the room with a tray.
Su Xiao had just started to enjoy breakfast when the communicator on the table vibrated slightly. It was Caesar.
"What's the matter?"
Su Xiao peeled an egg and had just sent it to his mouth when he found Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang staring straight at it. He gave Xiang Bubu breakfast, but it didn't eat. When others ate, it was greedy.
The egg in Su Xiao's hand went into Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's mouth. Caesar in the communicator said: "Azba wants to see you."
"See me?"
Su Xiao's hand paused. While he was thinking about why that slave trader wanted to see him, the second peeled egg in his hand was eaten by Xiang Bubu poking its head.
"Azba invited you to the arena of 'Kevab Ring City.' This is already his third time inviting you. Refusing again is a bit dangerous."
Caesar meant that Azba had started to test him.
"Don't pay attention. If I go there, it will be bad. There are many contractors from Apocalypse Paradise in Kevab Ring City."
"Then I'll push it again. My dear friend, when do you plan to go to war with the Kin? As a reserve quartermaster, I really want to officially take office."
"Wait a bit longer. The cards in hand are not big enough. How are you managing the channel on the Human side?"
"Not bad. The price there is higher than the Kin."
"Hmm, understood."
Su Xiao hung up the communication. Before he could continue to enjoy breakfast, a beep-beep-beep sound entered his ears.
Listening quietly for a moment, the sound came from the drawer under the bookcase. Pulling open the drawer, a long-distance phone came into view. It was something Li Xiniwei left behind.
The phone didn't show who the caller was. Su Xiao picked it up. He estimated that there was a 50% probability that it was a call from Li Xiniwei.
"Li Xiniwei, where did you put my fortress! 2 days! At most 2 days! If I don't see the Doomsday Fortress within 2 days, I'll peel your skin..."
A roar came from the phone. Su Xiao suddenly remembered that the Doomsday Fortress was rented by Li Xiniwei from a large company in Free City.
The previous Doomsday Fortress was T5 rank. Now it had been renamed Sun Fortress by Su Xiao and had been promoted to T0 rank.
Su Xiao hung up the phone. Someone would come to collect the rent. He really didn't expect that if that side was very urgent about this rent, actually, it was fine. Come to the Border Area to get it.
Through the miniature listening equipment Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang set up on Dorothy, Su Xiao projected the screen onto the wall and found Dorothy with a group of hunters.
In the screen, Dorothy was laughing and talking with several hunters in the RV, but the next moment, Dorothy suddenly changed her face, stabbed a hunter's head with a dagger, and then steam spread in the carriage, followed by the miserable screams and begging for mercy of the remaining hunters.
After watching for a long time, Su Xiao understood the plot. This bottomless pit girl Dorothy went to seek revenge on the Xin Clan, but ended up getting lost.
"God, getting lost. If I had known, I would have gotten her a navigation system."
"Woof."
"Uh~, this~"
Baja was speechless. Dorothy was the one who got lost following the navigation. People used artificial intelligence, she bought artificial stupidity. The terminal she was wearing now seemed to have eaten too many fake batteries. The intelligent butler inside had no advantages except for talking too much.
Closing the projection, Su Xiao was hesitating whether to go to the alien beast territory for a stroll. Just then, an email popped up. It was Benny's email.
The email was sent 21 hours ago. It arrived just now, representing that Benny was very far away from him when sending this email. Opening the email, the content was:
"Half a world core has been obtained. Let the stupid dog come to meet me. Coordinate position: S169/166.57.672.79."
"Woof!"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang tilted its head, meaning it wouldn't go. Obviously, it didn't agree with being called a stupid dog.
"You have to think about it this way: if you don't go, Benny will definitely scratch you when she comes back."
"Woof~"
"Not only scratch you, she sometimes manages the money. Your pocket money..."
"Woof!"
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran out of the room. Benny let Xiang Bubu go to meet her, representing that the situation was a bit troublesome, and solving this trouble through combat would bring more trouble.
Time passed in waiting. From morning until midnight, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Benny still hadn't returned. They didn't return the next day either.
Until noon the day after, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang ran into the command center and squatted on the carpet. Benny was squatting on Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang's head.
"Meow."
Benny's cat paw reached out, and a crystal core the size of half an egg appeared, wrapped in transparent silk threads. Benny didn't touch this half of the world core directly.
The world core was found by Benny. Originally, it wanted to delay for a few more days, but unfortunately, this time it met an opponent and could only bring the world core back as quickly as possible, otherwise, it would have to face the pursuit of a large group of Apocalypse Paradise contractors.
Su Xiao checked the current troop strength by checking the fortress data. The number of wild boar warriors had developed to 183,500.
180,000 wild boar warriors were not enough to deal with the Kin Alliance, but they were enough to deal with the contractors of the Holy Light Paradise side and the Watcher Paradise side.
As a world contention battle of the eighth tier, at most, the two sides together had 1,000 eighth-tier contractors, which was already quite a few people.
Calculating this way, it was 183 wild boar warriors besieging 1 enemy contractor. Under normal circumstances, the combat power of a contractor could deal with 183 wild boar warriors, but after the wild boar warriors obtained morale +70 points, all real attributes +20 points, maximum health increased by 45%, physical defense +30 points, all ability levels increased by Lv. 10, these five buffs, the contractor couldn't hold on.
Once they really started fighting, it wouldn't be 183 wild boar warriors besieging 1 enemy contractor, but the wild boar warrior army desperately chasing the contractors, and the contractors escaping regardless of everything.
Why would this scene happen? Those contractors who were surrounded, except for those with life-saving props, would not survive in the human sea tactics.
Kill all the wild boar warriors? Too naive. Kill one, three fill in. Kill three, a group swarms up.
Things had reached the current point and could no longer be delayed for development. According to Benny, a contractor from the Holy Light Paradise side had already locked onto the location of this half of the world core.
The fortress could develop to this extent before the war, Su Xiao was already satisfied. He grabbed toward the world core floating in mid-air.
【Announcement (Void Tree): Apocalypse Paradise side contractor has obtained the world core.】
【Announcement: In this world, 67 world progresses ago, a world contention battle was once conducted.】
【Announcement: Because this world core is incomplete, and this world is conducting a world contention battle for the second time, a perfect coordinate sequence has been established in this world. The defense location of the world core will be determined according to the current location of the world core.】
【Announcement: The location of the world core is the Border Area.】
【The defense side this time is: Apocalypse Paradise.】
【The attack side this time is: Holy Light Paradise, Watcher Paradise.】
【After starting to build world coordinates, you must hold for at least 3 natural days before the world coordinates can be formed. During this period, once the defense is lost and the world core is snatched by the Holy Light Paradise side and the Watcher Paradise side, the establishment of the world coordinates this time will fail.】
【All participants must arrive at the war zone within 27 hours (because the number of participants this time is relatively large, the war zone range has been expanded, which is Border Area -> Free City, and the surrounding range).】
Su Xiao was not participating in a world contention battle for the first time and had experience in this regard. As soon as the Void Tree's announcement stopped, he began to receive prompts from Apocalypse Paradise.
【Prompt (Apocalypse Paradise): You have held the world core of this world!】
【Checking that you and your summons, without any help from your own search team during the period, successfully found the world core, you have obtained the following rewards.】
【You obtained Soul Crystal (Complete) x 85.】
【You obtained Immortal-grade Accessory Treasure Chest x 1 (after opening, you can obtain a random Immortal-grade accessory).】
【You obtained Star Meteor Furnace (Immortal-grade)】
【Prompt (Apocalypse Paradise): Checking that you, the contractor, have controlled a large amount of combat power in this world, this behavior will significantly increase your side's winning probability! You need to cherish this opportunity and maximize the use of the large number of soldier-type units you have mastered.】
【Prompt (Apocalypse Paradise): If the contractor successfully guards the world core for 3 natural days, your brand tier will be upgraded, and you will be promoted from contractor to Battle Angel.】
【Prompt (Apocalypse Paradise): Because of various reasons, your side has not won an eighth-tier world contention battle for a long time, often losing to the Reincarnation Paradise side and the Death Paradise side. The contractor must go all out this time! Win the victory of this world contention battle!】
