Chapter 145: The Two Eliminated Servers
Chapter 145: The Two Eliminated Servers
[Server 6654, Icebound Wasteland, has been eliminated]
[Server 2115, Fertile Ocean, has been eliminated]
Two notifications appeared one after the other, and Qin Muye's expression became somewhat peculiar. It seemed like these people had coordinated their actions.
However, this was probably because the Sea Dragon King had fled when he saw the situation turning against him.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible for the notifications to appear one after the other. Upon seeing the elimination of the Icebound Wasteland, the fleeing Sea Dragon King would have immediately used the server transfer voucher to leave.
Otherwise, if they appeared one after the other, it wouldn't have been a coincidence but rather a mutual humiliation.
The notifications had just appeared when Qin Muye felt a violent tremor, a familiar sensation.
It was like the commotion that occurred when the six servers first connected.
Qin Muye looked up and saw that the entire sky had formed a massive vortex, encompassing the remaining four servers.
As for the two eliminated servers, they were continuously collapsing and contracting, as if their spines had been removed.
This scene gave Qin Muye a strong sense of awe.
"This kind of power is truly terrifying."
Qin Muye couldn't help but marvel. Then he felt a noticeable change in his surroundings, such as the concentration of elements and the magic environment.
At that moment, he understood that this was truly a process of nurturing the strong by eliminating the weak. The server that was eliminated would become the nourishment for the others.
Once the six servers were reduced to one victor, the server that had absorbed the resources of the other five could break through its original rank, advancing from a 6th-tier to a 7th-tier server.
"Once the servers are gone, how will Moxue and the others return?"
Qin Muye suddenly realized this blind spot. However, Moxue didn't request help, indicating that he had likely returned with the True Dragon Emperor. Otherwise, if there was real danger, they would have used the bidirectional portal to have Qin Muye pull them back.
Although he was somewhat worried, with the True Dragon Emperor around, the other side wouldn't dare to openly confront him.
After all, the True Dragon Emperor's ten thousand dragon armors were still in his possession.
"From what I can see, the True Dragon Emperor is almost certain to win. Jiang Tianjun might be able to give him a good fight, but with all the lords in Jiang Tianjun's server dead, it's both a blessing and a curse."
As for the Wasteland City and Zombie Nation servers, to be honest, they had little chance of winning.
The disparity in hard power was evident, so Qin Muye was even more curious about the initial talents of the True Dragon Emperor and Jiang Tianjun.
"Maybe one has a text reminder and the other has a check-in system," Qin Muye couldn't help but joke.
It wasn't impossible. Otherwise, how could they be so strong, with abilities like tenfold enhancement and survival in the ocean?
Who knew how heaven-defying their talents could be.
Compared to them, his learning ability was truly unremarkable.
"Master, Moxue and Yeyu have returned," Heishou shouted from outside the laboratory.
Qin Muye, who was modifying the Gargoyle-class armor, paused his work. "Come in and report."
"Yes, Master. This time, Moxue and the others brought back three sea vessels, which should belong to the Fertile Ocean server's lords. Additionally, they brought back fifty thousand skeleton soldiers and—"
Qin Muye listened to Heishou's report but was mainly interested in the three sea vessels and the marine divine authority system. The rest wasn't particularly noteworthy.
He opened the building menu and indeed saw many unfamiliar structures, but they were all marked as unbuildable. The reason was simple: these structures were built on ships and couldn't be constructed on land.
"Organize the acquired books into the library and the magic guild. As for the captured species, throw them into the prison and keep them alive. I'll deal with them when I have the time."
"Also, upgrade all the territory buildings to level 4. Do we have enough resources?" Qin Muye asked.
"The current inventory is sufficient, but if we do this, the construction time for the floating city will be extended, and your subsequent research might be affected," Heishou said.
Qin Muye thought for a moment. "It's fine. Proceed as quickly as possible. Also, for the Gargoyle-class armor, how long will it take to fully equip everyone with the current production level?"
"The difficulty of promoting literacy isn't high, but it will be another significant resource expenditure," Heishou hesitated.
"That's not a problem. Also, the specialized troops for Bai Ge, Hei Mu, and others need to be kept up. The next attack on Wasteland City and Zombie Nation will likely be more intense. These two servers have always been our primary targets, especially the related technologies, which are crucial for the advancement of the fairies to the 5th tier."
"Let's postpone the floating city plan for a bit longer. As for the Hell Expansion Plan in the Shocking Universe, handle it as you see fit. If you're too busy, expand the internal and external systems."
"This is a crucial moment. If we succeed, it will be enough to turn the tide for us," Qin Muye instructed with a sense of urgency.
He was responsible for setting the goals, while the implementation was naturally left to Blackhand and the other goblins. He couldn't possibly do everything himself.
Blackhand was an executive officer by profession, and these tasks were part of his duties. Why else would Qin Muye have created him, just to hear him say "Yes, Master"? Tiring as it might be, given the goblins' physical constitution, sudden death was highly unlikely. Qin Muye himself had been working tirelessly without any issues.
"I will do my best," Blackhand replied.
Currently, Qin Muye had around 150,000 goblins under his command. According to his plan, about 50,000 would be converted into combat specialists, which wasn't a large number. The remaining 100,000 were distributed across various roles.
This didn't include the skeleton soldiers. Most goblins held technical positions, while skeleton soldiers were the lowest-tier laborers. For example, in resource buildings, the majority were skeleton soldiers, with a smaller number of goblins specializing in specific roles, such as the plant goblins under the command of the Magic Plant Druid, who were responsible for farming and forestry.
This extensive agricultural, industrial, and commercial system formed a cycle. Combined with the monopoly on arms sales and magic crystals, it allowed Qin Muye's territory to flourish. Otherwise, it would have collapsed long ago.
With technological reforms, his territory was gradually evolving into a modern and militarized base. The previous hollow expansion had become a solid foundation, and the risk of disproportionate growth had been minimized.
Qin Muye wanted to recruit more goblins, but resources were limited. Currently, he maintained about 50,000 combat goblins, while the remaining 100,000 were converted into specialized elite units to support the territory's operations.
A 4th-rank goblin consumed a significant amount of food daily. Recruiting ordinary 1st-rank goblins? What for? It would be a waste of resources.
Ordinary 1st-rank goblins could do the same tasks as skeleton soldiers, without the need for food and water.
Moreover, recruiting weaklings at this point would be foolish. 4th-rank Dragon Blood goblins were not only stronger and more durable but also more intelligent and capable of performing a variety of tasks. Why use 1st-rank goblins, which would save on resources but not in the right areas? The goblins were not just for labor; their primary role was to ensure the territory's safety.
Fifteen thousand 4th-rank goblins were a significant expense, but their combat strength was formidable. Relying on 1st-rank goblins for protection? Who would protect whom?
With better options available, who would choose the inferior?
After giving Blackhand his instructions, Qin Muye finished the Gargoyle-class armor.
"Currently, this is as far as I can go. The smelting techniques need to be improved."

The Gargoyle-class armor still had room for improvement, but due to insufficient smelting techniques, only some of the Iron Blood methods could be incorporated.
Additionally, it was equipped with an energy device, reducing its weight and size, making it wearable even by Yeyu.
However, the cost had naturally increased. Qin Muye didn't mind this. Once the goblins wore this armor, their low defense would be significantly improved. At least in the future, they would have a fighting chance against 6th-rank Champions, especially with magic immunity against area-of-effect spells.
