Chapter 137: Need to Make a Profit
Chapter 137: Need to Make a Profit
The large number of corpses were eroded into Red Prison Crystals, and the radiation pollution and zombie virus in the environment gradually decayed and assimilated into Red Prison elements.
"Looks like we didn't just avoid a loss, but also made a good profit this time," Black Hand thought to himself as he looked at the pile of statues, feeling quite moved.
He had come here to gain some experience, but he hadn't anticipated this situation.
Each zombie statue or mutated beast statue could be used as raw material for military equipment, and even refined to serve as energy.
If all these Red Prison Crystal statues were processed into weapons and sold, the profit would be around 100% after deducting costs, even if it wasn't a windfall.
The crimson burst mode of the laser artillery consumes a lot, but it depends on whether you calculate it at cost or retail price. For personal use, it's the cost price, but for selling, it's the retail price.
If not for this battle, how could they make a 100% profit?
"Have you communicated with the other forces? Are they willing to send troops?" White Dove, who didn't care how much Black Hand earned, was more concerned about the reinforcements.
"The native forces are bickering with us, and the lord forces are currently unclear. They seem to have entered the Fertile Ocean to claim a share," Black Hand said calmly.
"In that case, the native heroes are now in charge of the other lords," Plague said as he walked in after arranging the follow-up matters.
"Does that mean the natives are getting involved?" Black Eyes' expression darkened.
To dare to stab them in the back at such a crucial moment, while assistance was a favor, non-assistance was their duty, but the natives' attitude made the spirits and monsters very unhappy.
"Don't worry, they'll have a bloody time ahead," Black Hand also felt aggrieved, but it was fine. After this, these natives would have a lot to suffer.
At that time, he would make them pay a hundredfold. While economic and financial measures wouldn't work against other servers, they could be very effective against the native server. He could support their opposing forces, even rebels and local factions, and offer them preferential policies and new military equipment, while raising the prices for the bickering forces and providing them with outdated equipment.
Even more ruthless, he could support some extreme factions. Once chaos erupted, these forces would be in a panic. If they wanted new military equipment, Black Hand would certainly sell it, but the price could be negotiated.
He was called Black Hand; not using underhanded tactics would be a waste of his name. Despite his friendly demeanor with various forces, he was never hesitant when it came to action.
In the past, he had sacrificed his own people for the benefit of his territory, so he was naturally even more ruthless to outsiders.
"Alright, you stay here. I have other matters to handle," Black Hand said, having gained the experience he needed, and saw no reason to stay.
"Don't rush. Ask the master if we have the ability to counter-locate the enemy. If so, we can launch a surprise attack. If we can get their teleportation artifact, we'll make even more profit," White Dove suddenly said.
Black Hand's heart skipped a beat. It was indeed a good idea, but the risk was high. If it were led by Dawnbringer or a team of Demon Blood and Evil Tongue, he would agree without hesitation, but White Dove was a bit too low in level, and leading the attack might be dangerous.
Unless he brought Plague and Disease, but they were indispensable, as the city's defense now relied entirely on them.
"I will report to the master. The final decision will be up to him," Black Hand ultimately did not object.
He had no way of calculating the spatial coordinates of the other side. Their teleportation method was not like a portal but more like a magic spell, with each batch coming through one at a time.
Teleportation was like a door; Qin Muye's Hyperspace Transmission Channel and the transmission portal or monument were like doors that stayed open once activated, unless manually closed. The other side, however, opened and closed the door each time, repeating the process.
This made it impossible for their side to infiltrate the enemy's teleportation.
Of course, the Hyperspace Transmission Channel could also be used this way, by activating and then closing it.
Black Hand hurriedly returned to the Mage Tower and reported the latest battle situation.
Qin Muye pondered for a moment after hearing White Dove's suggestion. It was indeed a challenging task to decipher the enemy's teleportation method, which would likely take at least a month.
"This time, it seems someone wants to take my life, but they are just a bunch of rats in the sewers, only capable of petty tricks."
Regarding the deliberate actions of the Zombie Nation and the Wasteland City to drive monsters towards him, Qin Muye requested that they intensify their efforts. Although he was stuck on his advancement task, his elite monster heroes were not. Once this battle was over, all his heroes would gain significant levels.
This was just the base level gain; some might even jump directly to level 40. These were not 1st-stage monsters but 4th-stage ones, rich in experience points.
Moreover, Qin Muye did not believe they could endlessly drive monsters towards him.
"Master, are we just going to let them act as they please?" Black Hand asked.
"No, you go and make the arrangements. The missile silos should be ready by now. Calculate the timing and launch a Crimson Cruise Missile directly towards their teleportation entrance. Let them experience what a surprise feels like."
Qin Muye was not one to be bullied and intended to retaliate.
"Make sure to calculate the timing well. Prepare everything, and wait until around three in the morning tomorrow before taking action. If they stop before then, so be it."
After weighing the pros and cons between venting his anger and gaining experience, Qin Muye chose the latter. The anger was not worth it if it meant losing valuable experience. If his side could endure, the enemy might not be able to.
The city defenses operated in shifts. While the troops might be tired, they were well-fed and well-equipped, and it would be unreasonable for them to not contribute during wartime.
"Understood, I will make the arrangements immediately," Black Hand said.
"Prepare several missiles. The enemy is clearly teleporting from two servers, indicating they are coordinated but not in the same location. There will be a delay in communication, so ensure both server forces are hit," Qin Muye instructed.
Black Hand agreed and left to prepare.
While this was an opportunity, it was also a significant threat. The enemy had the means to launch sudden attacks at any time, and as long as their territory remained unchanged, they could strike whenever they pleased, putting Qin Muye's side at a disadvantage.
Therefore, it would be best to destroy their teleportation means if possible. However, not everyone had access to artifact-level teleportation items, which were extremely valuable.
Qin Muye himself only had the Hyperspace Transmission Channel and a pair of two-way portals. He had nothing more.
Qin Muye checked the progress of his advancement task. The completion rate for destroying 3rd-stage forces was now 4/10, meaning that Demon Blood and Evil Tongue had already eliminated at least four forces in the Fertile Ocean, explaining the progress.
Additionally, he had accumulated a significant number of points, around 1.2 million, though he did not pay much attention to the exact figure.
He speculated that the forces must have been at least 4th-stage, as 3rd-stage forces would have been long gone.
He glanced at the leaderboard. The only remaining lord in the Fertile Ocean server was the Sea Dragon King, who was likely still being pursued by the True Dragon Emperor.
In the Extreme Cold Ice Land, most lords were dead, leaving only the 4th-ranked Winter Plum.
Currently, if the Sea Dragon King and Winter Plum were to die, the Fertile Ocean and Extreme Cold Ice Land servers would be entirely eliminated.
As for the Wasteland City and Zombie Nation, to be honest, if the True Dragon Emperor and Jiang Tianjun joined forces, they would not stand a chance. Each could take on a server, and defeating them one by one would not be a problem.
The value of the first and second ranks was not to be underestimated.
If the Sea Dragon King did not have a territory issue, he might not have lost. While a highly mobile ship territory had its advantages, it also had drawbacks, otherwise, he would not be pursued by the True Dragon Emperor.
However, the Sea Dragon King's territory had unique advantages, as evidenced by the fact that the True Dragon Emperor and the Lord of the Dead had not yet caught him.
