Chapter 420: Chapter 420
"Wutong?" Lin Rui’s eyes immediately lit up. The matter she wanted to discuss was definitely related to the taboo object, the Devil’s Golden Balance.
Lin Rui nodded but didn’t rush over. Instead, he first led Soro to the base of the Goddess Pendulum, placed a Crystal Stone, specifically the [Goblin Warlord Camp].
This building would take a while to construct. First, he would fortify it and begin construction. Then Lin Rui would go find Wutong.
[Ding, fortifying core Crystal Stone [Goblin Warlord Camp] requires Realm Coin 10000, Wood 10000, Stone 10000, Iron 10000, Gem 100, success rate of 100%. Proceed with fortification?]
[Ding, second fortification of core Crystal Stone [Goblin Warlord Camp] requires Realm Coin 50000, Wood 50000, Stone 50000, Iron 50000, Gem 500, success rate of 50%. Proceed with fortification?]
[Ding, sixth fortification of core Crystal Stone [Goblin Warlord Camp] requires Spirit Crystal Coin 100000, Wood 1000000, Stone 1000000, Iron 1000000, Gem 10000, success rate of 1%. This Divine Blessing will cause a qualitative change in the item, and if the sacrifice fails, both the sacrifice and the fortified item will vanish. Proceed with fortification?]
By the sixth fortification, Lin Rui and Soro were already somewhat dumbfounded.
[Ding, ninth fortification of core Crystal Stone [Goblin Warlord Camp] requires Spirit Crystal Coin 50000, Wood 50000000, Stone 50000000, Iron 50000000, Gem 50000, success rate of 0.001%. This Divine Blessing will cause a qualitative change in the item, and if the sacrifice fails, both the sacrifice and the fortified item will vanish. Proceed with fortification?]
When it reached the ninth fortification, the two were already staring at each other.
Had the Goddess ever crushed a Green-skin planet before? How many layers of this item did she actually have in her hands?
Lin Rui gritted his teeth and continued sacrificing!
The ninth sacrifice had already consumed fifty million units of all types of resources. If he didn’t push the remaining to the extreme, wouldn’t it be like giving up after a long journey?
Today, we’ll see where exactly the limits of this thing are. Is its limit higher, or is my wallet richer!
[Ding, eleventh fortification of core Crystal Stone [Goblin Warlord Camp] requires Spirit Crystal Coin 500000, Wood 5000000000, Stone 5000000000, Iron 5000000000, Gem 5000000, success rate of 0.0001%. This Divine Blessing will cause a qualitative change in the item, and if the sacrifice fails, both the sacrifice and the fortified item will vanish. Proceed with fortification?]
Finally, Lin Rui was completely stupefied!
He had emptied the treasury accumulated wealth from the Templar Order and, upon returning to his territory, hadn’t even passed the first fortification when the Goddess of Fortune emptied all his savings.
It was terrifying beyond belief!
Compared to the Goddess of Fortune, even Audrey and Hanna’s methods of exhausting Lin Rui’s resources were nothing worth mentioning.
Five billion units of various resources just vanished without a ripple, without a sound!
Against the vast background of the Green-skins, the Templar Order fully demonstrated its absolute insignificance.
And the Crystal Stone still had not reached its upper limit.
It was as if its upgrade tree was etched deep into the genes of the Crystal Stone.
Now its attributes had fundamentally changed, transforming from [Goblin Warlord Camp] into [Warboss’s Goblin Plantation]
[Goblins are the smallest members of Green-skin society, with pea-sized brains (and similar intelligence), like a horde of eternally energetic, frenzied yet uncontrollable little pets, residing in Green-skin settlements. They clean up trash and feces, while also stealing any little trinkets. They are the community’s "scavengers," living off food scraps and bones, always bouncing around to hide the "treasures" they find in their lairs. Yet it is these goblins who can cultivate the most complete variety of Green-skins—from the dedicated Skill Dominator boiler boys to the hulking Green-skinned Giants, even the Scarface Boss, Warboss - War General, and even Squig Giant Beasts and Green-skin Heroes! Pray to yourself, never let there be a Primordial Level Green-skin Warboss! They can even wound the Human Emperor or the Chaos Gods.]
[Construction conditions: 10000 Spirit Crystal Coins and a Green-skin corpse.]
[Once completed, it produces 1100 Tier One to Nine Green-skin units daily, with Talent ranging from Excellence to Divine Spirit Level randomly.]
"Hiss~" Lin Rui gasped sharply.
He even felt a bit of fear; this thing could still be fortified further!
But further fortification might lead to the appearance of Holy Spirit Level beings. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novelFɪre.net
Lin Rui didn’t dare to imagine what it would feel like if, while everyone was not paying attention, a Tier Nine Holy Spirit Level arm suddenly emerged from the ground, followed by a massive Tier Nine Green-skin Warboss.
The issue would not be whether Lin Rui could sleep soundly anymore.
The entire empire and the whole plane would be in chaos.
This is an existence that, with one swing of an axe, could plunge the entire plane into fiery war.
Wutong might not even need to recover fully; even if she did, the fierce battle between her and a Holy Spirit Level Green-skin War General would leave the entire plane in ruins, leading to plane wars and monster invasions that would sweep over like a tide.
Soro swallowed nervously, cautiously looking toward Lin Rui: "Lord, are you sure you want to bury this thing under the territory? What if... I mean what if a Tier Eight or Nine unit appears..."
This thing could indeed overturn the territory and even the entire empire.
Once buried, if Lin Rui loses control and the territory is destroyed, in just a year, he could cultivate a formidable army of nearly forty thousand. And with units ranging from Tier One to Nine, the lowest being Excellence Level and potentially reaching Mythical Level strength.
Lin Rui couldn’t control himself, his mouth twitched slightly: "No... that unlucky?"
Absolute risk also means absolute opportunity.
This thing could produce all Green-skin units, from Skill Dominator boys to Green-skin Heroes.
Producing them continuously, the territory’s army could reap a large amount of equipment, items, and even Hero’s Hearts, just by standing guard at the gate.
Thus, Lin Rui’s heart pounded violently, burning with anxiety.
Seeing the ever-growing fervor in Lin Rui’s eyes, Soro quickly advised: "Lord, please calm down. Shouldn’t you wait until you’ve recovered and think this over seriously before deciding on this issue?"
But Lin Rui couldn’t hear any of this right now: "My recovery will still take another cycle. Can the territory afford to waste this cycle of development opportunity? Besides, the territory is about to invest a large amount of Territorial Essence. It’s not just wasting a cycle, it’s possibly squandering months or even half a year of accumulated wealth! Do you know what that means? It signifies we’ve wasted the greatest opportunity since the founding of the territory and possibly a chance to change the future landscape of plane wars!"
Seeing Lin Rui’s passionate expression, Soro could only weakly attempt one last persuasion: "But, what if the spawned entity exceeds the expected strength... You know, our territory’s Trait is special, and such low-probability events have an exceedingly high chance of occurring."
Lin Rui clenched his fist, pulled out another building plan from his backpack that he had prepared, and placed it under the Goddess Pendulum to start fortifying it.
This time, the fortification was very smooth, reaching its limit after just three attempts.
[Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Tower (Divine Grace Enhancement Three Times): The towering Arrow Tower of the territory is a symbol of sturdy defense, capable of launching a six-meter-long Secret Silver Dragon-Hunting Crossbow at invaders within 5000 meters, dealing 5000 points of Physical Damage + 50 points of True Damage. Attack Speed: 18 rounds/minute. Construction consumes 50 Spirit Crystal Coins, 50 Mithril, 1000 Wood, 1000 Stone, 1000 Iron. 3 Artisans, one-hour construction time.]
The three fortifications didn’t yield any qualitative transformation, but successfully adjusted all attributes.
The attack range and power almost doubled, especially the addition of 50 points of True Damage, which, though small in value, was profoundly significant.
This meant the territory’s defense carried absolute deterrence; even if Deities came, they couldn’t ignore the defensive effects. As long as Lin Rui was willing to invest heavily and build enough defense towers, theoretically, they could slaughter Deities.
Of course, theory forever remains just theory. Anyone who applies theory blindly to reality will hit their heads against the wall and die miserably.
Apart from the enhancement in these three aspects, other resource consumptions decreased slightly, with a significant reduction in construction time.
Lin Rui handed over the building plans for both the Earth Mother Statues and the Dragon-Hunting Crossbow Tower to Soro, instructing: "Go build all of these. I hope that before we invest the Territorial Essence, the most Defense Arrow Towers will have been constructed in the territory!"
