Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers
Chapter 735: Reuniting with Farlin, the Goblin Engineering Team, and a Cautious Wu Qiming
"Haha, dear Farlin, long time no see!"
As the Goblin Engineering Team emerged from the transmission portal into the Civilization War Fortress Square, Yu Yuan walked happily toward Farlin.
"My dear friend, thank you for still remembering me!"
Goblin Farlin was quite happy to see Yu Yuan again. Not just because he could land big orders here, but more importantly, because of the respect. Genuine, heartfelt respect.
After the two exchanged brief pleasantries, Yu Yuan's gaze shifted to the Goblin Engineering Team behind Farlin, and a flicker of surprise crossed his mind.
"This... Farlin, am I seeing things? Why do I feel like your team has become larger and more elite?"
Hearing this, Farlin revealed the smug expression of an old friend.
"Friend, all of this is thanks to you!"
"Thanks to me?" Yu Yuan was quite surprised.
Farlin nodded lightly, his gaze sweeping over his clansmen, only to find their eyes also directed this way. Of course, those gazes were mainly fixed on Yu Yuan. He spoke softly:"After I returned last time, I became famous among my people. Everyone knows I have a generous and refined friend who not only has an endless stream of major projects on hand, but is also willing to be friends with us. Everyone envies Farlin."
Farlin was quite proud as he said this.
Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly. All he had done was maintain normal interpersonal relationships!
Farlin continued with emotion:
"Also, because of those two major projects before, I had money to upgrade my engineering equipment and recruit more clansmen. Many clansmen came specifically after hearing about my achievements."
Farlin looked at Yu Yuan seriously and solemnly.
"So... my friend, no matter what engineering needs you have, please rest assured and leave them to me!"
Yu Yuan was silent for two seconds, then let out a helpless sigh.
"Farlin, of course I trust you, which is why the moment I ran into trouble, you were the first person I thought of. However..." Yu Yuan paused briefly. "As I told you before, the ambient temperature here is extremely low. Construction may be very difficult."
But Farlin revealed a mysterious smile.
"Dear friend, there's no need to worry about that. When I came last time, I noticed the abnormally low-temperature environment here, and you also told me the temperature would continue to drop." A trace of cunning flashed through his eyes as he patted the engineering armor on his body.
"So the upgrade direction for my equipment this time was cold-resistant gear. In addition, there are polar engineering vehicles!"
Now Yu Yuan was truly astonished.
Looking at the smile in the depths of Farlin's eyes, he instantly understood. Farlin had long since prepared to come over and build at any time. This extreme cold equipment must have cost a fortune. Farlin was gambling, betting that Yu Yuan would seek him out again. And as it turned out, he had won the bet. Yu Yuan had indeed come to him again.
The next second, the two exchanged a smile, everything understood without words.
Yu Yuan no longer hesitated and immediately handed several building blueprints to Farlin.
"Farlin, time is tight on my end. Enemies are approaching. I need these buildings completed as soon as possible."
"Of course, the most important one is the [Planetary Core Defense Curtain]. It must be built with priority. I don't know what you think about that. Survival points are not an issue, and all kinds of resources can be fully provided."
Farlin took the blueprints back to the goblin team, and several goblins who looked older immediately gathered around, beginning a heated discussion in their gibberish language. Yu Yuan couldn't understand what they were saying, but judging by their animated gesturing, the discussion was clearly intense. Five minutes later, Farlin returned to Yu Yuan, his tone certain.
"Friend, after study, with our current equipment, this [Planetary Core Defense Curtain] can be completed in 7 hours. It requires building 7 planetary core curtain generators within a 200-kilometer range. Each generator takes one hour to build, but if you add travel time..."
Yu Yuan was already speaking: "Farlin, leave the travel to me. I'll be responsible for getting you to the destination. It'll be instantaneous."
"If that's the case, we can absolutely complete it within 7 hours!"
The two slapped their palms together firmly.
"Then let's begin!"
"We leave it to you!"
Yu Yuan teleported the Goblin Engineering Team to the construction site of the first planetary core curtain generator, which was inside the Thug Prison in the eastern suburbs. As the green screen enclosed the Thug Prison, construction officially began.

Qiming Mobile City crossed the Red Maple Plains and finally caught sight of the Gugu Ga Mountain Range stretching across the land.
"City Lord, Airship No. 3 shot down five small drones and detected traces of enemy activity in the mountain range."
"According to examination of the drone wreckage, these drones were just deployed. The enemy should have completed surveillance deployment in this mountain range, and there may even be landmines, anti-tank weapons, and other defensive armaments."
Wu Qiming listened to the report and nodded lightly.
"As expected of someone who commands tens of billions in cash flow at Bronze Rank. Truly no simple character."
"Notify the airships not to advance recklessly and to stay consistent with our ground forces. The enemy's reaction and deployment capabilities are this strong, and their technological weapon level is not low either. It's hard to guarantee they don't have anti-air weapon systems."
Wu Qiming looked at the terrain simulation on the holographic tactical deduction sandbox. His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a contemplative look.
He was not a foolish or blindly arrogant person. Otherwise, he would never have climbed to his current position. Wu Qiming understood well the principle that even a lion uses its full strength to pounce on a rabbit.
Moreover, this was the Civilization Ladder. All kinds of exotic items and weapons emerged endlessly. No one could guarantee whether a weakling might have an item capable of an absolute comeback. He had to be careful and then more careful, cautious and then more cautious.
"Bring up the current world weather detection data and generate a combat report."
Very quickly, an extremely meticulous and detailed report appeared before Wu Qiming.

Wu Qiming's brow furrowed unconsciously, and he felt a bit of a headache coming on.
"This damned environment..."
This world was practically a nightmare for any
</path> war. Low altitude was filled with dry ice fog everywhere, while mid-to-high altitude was filled with ice crystal clouds everywhere. It was an absolute ordeal for energy and life-support systems.

Finally, Wu Qiming's gaze turned toward the window, looking at that vast expanse of white, like a giant beast crouching in wait, the mountain range. Only one thought remained in his mind.
"Let's see how things go first. If conventional tactics don't work, then I'll have no choice but to use that..."
