Chapter 737: Construction Complete, City Trait - Bounty Incentives, Separate Deployments

Hum—

Accompanied by the hum.

Above Green Forest City, seven yellow rays shot out from the seven Core Reactors.

They converged at a central point above Green Forest City, and a pale-yellow curtain barrier slowly unfolded.

The curtain barrier resembled an inverted bowl, covering the entire Green Forest City beneath it.

Looking at the curtain shield overhead, Farlin seemed to be admiring a magnificent masterpiece.

Yu Yuan looked at the information for the Planetary Core Defense Curtain on the Virtual Light Screen and revealed a satisfied smile.

With the first defensive barrier completed, he adjusted the defense curtain to standby mode.

The curtain slowly faded from sight.

It had not disappeared. It had merely entered energy-saving mode. However, as soon as any attack capable of threatening the city's safety appeared, the curtain would complete its defensive protection over Green Forest City within 0.1 seconds.

"Farlin, excellent work! Your engineering team is truly outstanding."

Farlin was extremely happy to receive Yu Yuan's praise.

"Friend, rest assured. I will complete these buildings as quickly as possible. I won't delay your battle!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Farlin."

-

One day later, Farlin led his Goblin Engineering Team into the Transmission Portal and quietly departed.

What he left behind for Yu Yuan were the several completed military buildings.

When the Goblins left, they were also carrying the small gifts Yu Yuan had given them. Every one of them was extremely happy.

Farlin's gift was naturally the most generous.

These buildings had cost a total of 2.8 billion survival points.

No matter where it was placed, that figure was astronomical.

It was easy to predict that Farlin's return to his own World would cause another sensation.

"Goodbye, my dear friend. Just as I said before, you are an exceptionally generous friend!"

"Goodbye, Farlin. I also have to thank you for giving me a ten percent discount. Next time, the next time I need something built, I'll definitely ask you to come over again."

The Transmission Portal closed, and Yu Yuan opened the Virtual Light Screen to examine the information on the buildings once more.

His gaze grew contemplative.

Although having Farlin construct them had cost Yu Yuan 2.8 billion survival points, he considered it well worth the price.

As his understanding of the Civilization Ladder deepened, Yu Yuan increasingly felt that the Goblin race was far from simple.

Putting everything else aside, the rare materials and equipment required to construct these advanced buildings would have been an enormous headache even if Yu Yuan had gathered them himself. He might not even have known where to begin looking.

Farlin, however, could construct them directly by consuming survival points.

To a certain extent, this was the greatest flaw in the Civilization Ladder.

Moreover, the Goblin Caller that had originally summoned Farlin had come from a Civilization Treasure Chest.

Among all the races in the Civilization Ladder, Yu Yuan had never even heard of another player who was a Goblin!

Yu Yuan felt that he had seemingly uncovered an astonishing secret.

Back at the Hunter Training Camp.

"Leader, Alpha and Hogg have already reached the Gugu Ga Mountain Range. The enemy's electronic defenses are extremely strong. Our Ghost electronic warfare vehicle is temporarily unable to break through their electronic firewall," Carmen reported.

"However, Ghost has already concealed our electronic presence. The enemy is likewise unable to detect our movements."

Yu Yuan was not surprised in the slightest. After all, the opponent was merely the second-ranked player at the Bronze Rank.

"Can we lock onto the movements of their

</path>ReadHistory

"Their signals are being disrupted, appearing and disappearing intermittently. For now, we can't determine whether the signals we've detected are genuine. Alpha suspects that many of them may be electronic decoys."

"What do you suggest?" Yu Yuan looked toward Carmen.

"I suggest that we temporarily ignore the war airships..." Carmen smiled.

"Air superiority over this area isn't easy to secure. To ensure the safety of their airships, they have to remain at least 3,000 to 5,000 meters above the ground. That altitude is heavily covered by ice-crystal clouds.

"The tiny ice crystals in the air are a tremendous test for the airships' structures, frames, and materials. Increased flight resistance, reduced endurance, and poorer maneuverability are all fatal weaknesses."

"Simply put, time is on our side. If this continues, it won't affect us at all. For them, not only will there be a threat to their survival, but the increased energy consumption will also be a factor that cannot be ignored."

"All we need to do is wait for an opportunity, an opportunity for them to reveal themselves... There will be plenty of such opportunities, whether they land to refuel or launch an attack after discovering a target. As soon as the airships appear, we'll catch them."

Yu Yuan pondered for several seconds before gently nodding.

"All right. Go ahead and do it!"

-

"City Lord, those electronic signals just now definitely came from the enemy's Combat Department. Their electronic capabilities are quite impressive, though. Even I only managed to catch a trace of them before they disappeared."

"However, we can be certain that the enemy is on the other side of the mountain range."

Inside the information control room of Qiming Mobile City, a humanoid creature with a pair of antennae on its head and four arms operated the three computers in front of it simultaneously. Without even lifting its head, it said:

"Can't you find them?"

Wu Qiming's brows furrowed slightly.

"How are the wolf pack and Airship reconnaissance progressing?"

"Not well..." The four-armed creature shrugged.

"The high-altitude ice-crystal clouds are having a major impact on the Airships. Their energy consumption has increased by forty-five percent, and they will have to land one after another to replenish their energy in an hour. Although the Airships have multiple energy systems, continuing like this will still place a considerable burden on our energy reserves."

"As for the wolf pack, they discovered tunnels and roads crossing the mountain range, but none of them are suitable for our city to pass through. Perhaps it's time to consider activating the deployment generator."

Wu Qiming thought for several seconds before gently nodding.

"Since that's the case, we have no other choice."

Wu Qiming opened the Virtual Light Screen and directly activated the city trait, Bounty Incentives.

- Consume survival points to add enhancement effects to allied units.

Wu Qiming decisively selected the Extreme Cold Resistance, Vitality Enhancement, and Survival Enhancement buffs.

In an instant, 300 million survival points were consumed.

With no time to feel the pain, Wu Qiming immediately gave the order:

"Notify all wolf packs to mobilize. Have them cross the mountain range and search for the city where Yu Yuan Shelter is located. Within fifty kilometers of the city, deploy transmission beacons. Have the Airships provide aerial support..."

The four-armed creature revealed a sinister smile and gave a cheerful response.

"At your command, my esteemed City Lord."

Soon, the lifting platforms beneath the enormous moving city opened, and vehicle after vehicle of composite armored vehicles departed from the moving city and drove toward the mountain range.

Behind them followed several hundred mobile hover motorcycles.

The mobile hover motorcycles floated fifty centimeters above the ground as they sped forward, their velocity astonishing.

Transparent shields enveloped the motorcycles, blocking the frigid winds and Extreme Cold outside.

At an altitude of 5,000 meters.

A fleet of enormous Airships also launched unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, which flew toward the other side of the mountain range.

The purpose of these Drones was simple: to cooperate with the wolf packs in locating the enemy city and provide aerial support.

Wu Qiming stood by the window and watched the wolf packs disappear from sight. A glint of inevitable victory flashed through his eyes.

"Yu Yuan... I'm truly curious what kind of expression you'll have when I suddenly appear in your city."
