Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338: Earth-shattering Chapter 1338: Chapter 1338: Earth-shattering Edward was instantly at a loss for words. Though she could indeed command some creatures in her Spider Shape, her spiritual power was limited. Even if she could control them, it wouldn't be many, and his Frame Space was almost full–he did not have enough space. Not like Li Yao, whose Frame Space was full of empty land.
“Then let's settle it like this,” Li Yao said with a wave of his hand, as though taking a minor loss was no big deal to him.
Edward gritted his teeth. “If I didn't know I couldn't beat you and that you have more Mechanical Pets than I do, I would have pounded you into a pig's head, damn it.”
“That's truly a pity,” Li Yao sighed. “Keep it up, I'm rooting for you.”
Edward: “…”
Under the control of the insect mother, as the Hell Battle Scorpion moved, the Red Crystal Ants cleared a path.
Li Yao continued, “Actually, these ants are just a one-off thing. Once they are used up, that's it…”
Edward sneered, “Don't play dumb with me, I know that the biggest use for these Red Crystal Ants isn't for battle.”
Li Yao raised an eyebrow, “And what would that be?”
“Stop feigning ignorance, we're all smart people here,” Edward sighed deeply. “Red Crystal Ants can produce Demon Crystals, which are very stable Magic Energy Crystals with incredible magic power. As I understand it, those Magic Energy Items crucially need Magic Energy Crystals to operate, and Red Crystals are the most stable. The problem, however, is their production.”
Caught out, Li Yao did not show the slightest bit of embarrassment but said with a grin, “Chairman Edward, your knowledge is truly vast. So there's that use too, huh? However, I can't just take your word for it. I'll need to go back and try it out for myself.”
“Hmph, cut the act. If your Mechanical Pets were equipped with such crystals, you wouldn't have to worry about power, and their combat duration could double at the very least. As a master of engineering, you surely know about items of magic-powered engineering, Magic Energy Fight Robots, Demon-Powered .Battleships, Magic Energy Cannons; making them might be difficult and costly, but not impossible to create, yet Magic Energy Crystals are extremely rare. You would know what the most important strategic resources are for several camps, wouldn't you?” Edward was livid, the more he spoke, the angrier he got.
“We players might get a share of mining ordinary ores, but we can't touch a Magic Crystal Mine at all. If it's within camp territory, that's fine, but every time a Magic Crystal Mine is found in neutral territory, it ignites a war. Even after establishing the victor, the smaller scale struggles and underhanded scheming never cease. If you control such a large scale of Red Crystal Ants and can't breed them, that's one thing, but if you can turn them into a breeding race, you'd essentially have a mobile Magic Crystal Mine, one that could develop endlessly.”
“Let me remind you, this is something I won't divulge. If the Dark Camp were to learn about your Red Crystal Ants, you wouldn't be able to protect them. Even with your current status, nobody else would dare interfere, but your tutor, the formidable Queen, she'll surely take the lion's share.”
Li Yao played dumb because these Red Crystal Ants were very important. He thought Edward didn't know, but to his surprise, Edward was so aware of the intricacies.
Indeed, Demon Crystals were extremely valuable and scarce. They could enormously amplify the capabilities of magic-powered items, and without them, some magic-powered weapons wouldn't even operate.
Already, the insect mother had provided exact figures–the desert Red Crystal Ants numbered over three hundred million. Even if only fewer than two hundred million could produce Demon Crystals over a certain period, the size of each Demon Crystal produced by the ants was no more than that of a grain of sand. But the sheer quantity of it, plus over two hundred million eggs, allowed the insect mother to use energy units to create a Red Crystal Ant Nest. Crafting an Ant Queen as a Hero, she could completely control this race, becoming an everflowing source of life.
This discovery was an unexpected treasure. As long as he collected enough Demon Crystals, he could start small-scale tests applying Magical Energy to Starfire. The benefits of this were immense. For becoming a main city, Demon Crystals were an insurmountable barrier.
Li Yao hid his smile and asked, “What do you suggest, Chairman Edward?”
“It's simple, I will keep it a secret,” Edward said, looking into Li Yao's eyes. “But, I would like to spend a significant amount of money to buy your Demon Crystals.”
Li Yao chuckled, “It seems you still don't understand me. I never planned to hide this, at least not from the camp. You underestimate the Queen. As of now, as long as I'm unwilling, she would never encroach on what's mine. But I will still give half of the Magic Crystal output to the Queen. Do you know why?”
Edward was taken aback, then suddenly understood, “I really underestimated your ambition. Chairman Liaoyuan indeed plans for the future. But that said, faced with such a massive interest, few have your boldness.”
Demon Crystals were too precious. If a player obtained them, doing nothing more than relying on them could make them a real-life wealthy individual, which is no exaggeration.
Edward sighed, a slight sense of regret in his heart for missing the opportunity.
“Why the disappointment, Edward?” Li Yao went on, “Since you already know so much, I won't hide it from you. I can establish a Red Crystal Ant Nest and have it produce Demon Crystals continuously. After all, we discovered it together. I won't give you Demon Crystals for free, but a fair trade isn't out of the question. You can send someone to negotiate with Sister Li.”
“That would be great. I'll speak with Sister Li myself, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied with the price,” Edward hadn't expected things to turn around like this and gained a new respect for Li Yao's magnanimity.
Li Yao exhibited such a disposition, seemingly understanding the value of the Demon Crystals more than Li herself. He was willing to trade just because he was undertaking a mission with her; the largeness of spirit and boldness impressed her anew. At the very least, putting herself in his shoes, she wasn't sure she'd make the same decision.
“I've always believed in mutual wins,” said Li Yao earnestly. “The god's cake is too big for just one guild to eat.”
Edward spoke seriously, “I can't say we will advance and retreat together with Starfire in the future, but aside from competitions, I don't think my guild will cause trouble for Starfire. Of course, forming an offensive and defensive alliance is also possible, but that will depend on Sister Li's skills. I really want to see for myself if the Sister Li of the rumors is as formidable as they say, keeping the entire guild in line like a solid iron block.”
“Then give it a try,” Li Yao laughed heartily. By then, the Hell Battle Scorpion had already arrived in front of the Red Crystal Ant Goddess Statue, “As I promised, the treasure chest is now open, Chairman Edward, you get first pick this time.”
“Then I won't hold back,” Edward's mood also lightened up.
The contents of this chest were similar to the one found beneath the statue -of the Kobold God, and the group began opening the chests separately.
Soon, the items were placed in the middle of everyone, and what remained was the time to distribute the spoils of war…
