116: Lianjian Three Towns

The establishment of the first resource point went smoothly.

After its construction, the development team remained, while Lin Ye and his group returned to lead the second development team.

Regarding the profit distribution, the National Enterprise offered half.

This half was not the current half, but half of the increased price.

After the Demon Invasion, this fund would continuously flow into their accounts.

Moreover, due to the strategic significance of the holy light core, they could settle with resources.

Lin Ye naturally chose top-grade star stone.

In their team's share distribution, because he discovered the holy light core, coupled with the strategic significance of Star Eyes, they received sixty percent based on their contribution.

His teammates had no objections.

They even felt it was a great deal.

Leading out the second development team, Lin Ye and his group quickly occupied the second Starlight Core.

Mainly, this area had few resources and people, and only they knew the news of the Starlight Core, so although others were curious why a town-level defense was being built for an unknown mine, without information, they did not act rashly.

"James, have you found out what Xia Country is doing? Their National Enterprise would not mess around with those teams for no reason, there must be a reason."

"Oh, Tom, I haven't found anything. That area of theirs has no information on our Beautiful Country's map."

"That's really strange."

......

"Baka, are you useless? You can't even get this much information."

"Sumimasen."

.......

"Aish, what's going on?"

.......

The outside world was very curious about Lin Ye and his group's actions.

Even people within their own country were not very clear.

Xia Country's team mechanism was different from other countries.

Other countries also had fierce competition, with many instances of mutualsnatch.

Xia Country adopted a cooperative system.

If several teams took on a task together, they would cooperate to execute it.

After all, a single team often found it difficult to win competitions, and there were countless surrounding forces.

If they didn't want others to interfere, they would buy out the execution.

Overall, this was the superiority of Xia Country's system, minimizing internal friction.

So Lin Ye and his group didn't have to worry about being ambushed by domestic teams; they only needed to guard against outsiders.

The final target was the largest Starlight Core.

Due to the importance placed on this mine, the National Enterprise development group, which usually did not participate in combat, sent teams for covert protection, serving as a second line of defense behind Lin Ye and his group.

Lin Ye felt very secure.

This area, largely occupied by the Starlight Core, was even more desolate than the previous two.

There were very few teams around, and rare exotic beasts.

However, after so much speculation, the hidden forces could no longer hold back.

Although they didn't know exactly what good thing it was, Lin Ye and his group's movements were too big.

Finally, because this mine was the largest, the star core prepared by the development group was also very large, and the commotion caused by its use directly stunned those secretly observing.

"Holy cow, why are they using this level of protection?"

"This is already the protection level of a five-star resource point, isn't it?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Our country explored this area before."

"Should we go? If we don't gamble, we'll regret it if there's really something good."

"What if it's Xia Country's 'lure the snake out of its hole'?"

"Possible. Xia Country's Art of War is full of tricks. Who knows what unspeakable secrets they have."

"Tricky Xia Country people."

Due to the lack of information, many hidden forces were also hesitant.

If Xia Country set a trap and used it to provoke conflict, they would ultimately be the ones to lose.

But if there really was something good, they would be filled with regret.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back and became the trailblazer.

Seventeen people.

A total of seventeen people, scouts from different national teams, quietly infiltrated.

Lin Ye sent a signal to his teammates.

Ilyana directly used Holy Light Radiance, exposing all the assassins in the area Lin Ye pointed out.

Ily, Royal Dynasty Song, and Gu Qingzhu acted in unison, quickly eliminating the seven exposed individuals.

Then, performing the same operation, they eliminated four more, after which the others, terrified, fled.

"What should we do? How is their reconnaissance ability so powerful?"

"This must be Xia Country's Lotus, ranked 36th among 9th-tier, if there isn't someone of equal strength, it's impossible to deal with."

"Do we have that level of team here?"

Undoubtedly, they did not.

This was the advantage of an information asymmetry.

With an information asymmetry, they could catch the opponent off guard, without time to gather forces.

These hidden forces were not strong individuals either; although unwilling, they all retreated.

When the enormous light shield erupted with dazzling light under the control of the star core, Lin Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, no unexpected problems arose.

As the light shield slowly became transparent, Lin Ye and his group's mission also ended.

"Thank you for your support, Captain Lin. Your contributions to the future Demon Invasion will be remembered by everyone." The captain of this development team clearly also knew the inside story.

He was extremely grateful to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye was polite for a bit, then left with his teammates.

"What a wonderful experience, we didn't encounter any obstacles and gained such a large amount of resources," Ily exclaimed with emotion.

When was a mission ever easy before?

Every time it was a life-or-death struggle.

"That's all thanks to the Captain! Captain, choosing you as captain was the wisest decision I've ever made in my life," a joyful Ilyana praised without reservation.

Royal Dynasty Song expressed strong agreement, "I thought the Star Realm would be tough and tiring, but I ended up chilling every time."

This was perfectly in line with his wishes.

An otaku's dream life was nothing more than this.

Gu Qingzhu was also in a great mood, treating Lin Ye with a pleasant demeanor.

Lin Ye narrowed his eyes, enjoying his teammates' flattery, and said, "We also played an information asymmetry, taking them by surprise. Future missions won't be as simple."

Everyone said, with the Captain, there would be no surprises.

This time, building three towns took more than half a month.

The harvest was plentiful.

The profits would be distributed after mining, but to commend their contributions, a wave of resources was pre-distributed.

Lin Ye received his share—a full thirty-plus pieces of top-grade star stone.

His heart was filled with satisfaction.

He hadn't expected to double his star stone so easily.

Each of his teammates also chose star core that matched their own attributes.

They each received at least ten pieces of top-grade star core.

Seeing this, Lin Ye also knew that each of his teammates were ambitious individuals.

Top-grade star core were extremely valuable, and ordinary people had no way to purchase them.

Lin Ye's teammates had originally prepared high-grade star core, and this time, being able to get better ones, they naturally wouldn't let the opportunity pass.

Even if they couldn't gather a complete set of top-grade star core, they could mix top-grade and high-grade ones.
