156: Chapter 156: The Anti-Magic Fortress is Completed 2
Compared to Gu Yue's striking performance, Li Xuefei and Lin Zhizhi, both only Gold Rank One, performed much more ordinarily.
While ordinary Silver Rank monsters were manageable, as soon as they encountered Gold Rank Monsters, they quickly fell into prolonged battles.
At the Gold Rank, the advantage of a Talent at this Rank was greatly diminished; even with a Gold Rank Talent, Li Xuefei was only comparable in strength to an ordinary Gold Rank Two monster.
Currently, she was facing a Gold Rank Three monster, only able to rely on her small body to skirmish with the monster, which was over ten meters in size.
"Brother Yuan, why did you stop?"
Huang Xiaoxiao, having nothing to do, came to Fang Yuan's side, looking up at his motionless figure with a puzzled expression.
With him stopped, she had no more crystal cores to pick up. The brave Little Girl encouraged herself internally before directly stepping forward to ask.
After speaking, the Little Girl's big eyes, filled with fear and anticipation, stared directly at Fang Yuan.
"Uh~, that, well, let's continue tomorrow. The time has already gotten quite long."
Fang Yuan, who was observing the three's battle, was asked by this bold Little Girl. He thought for a moment, then answered the Little Girl's question in a gentle voice.
Looking at the Little Girl, who was even smaller than his own sister, covered in bloodstains from carelessly picking up monster crystal cores, Fang Yuan suddenly thought of having his younger sister and family come here to train.
Having stayed at home, relying on various energy potions and monster ingredients, Little Girl Fang Ling, due to her very active body after her Awakening, had already reached Black Iron Rank Nine.
This Rank was higher than everyone else's except her father, Fang Long.
Thinking of this, Fang Yuan decided that once the passage to the Void Realm Instance was built, he would let them go and clear the Instance a few times to raise their Rank before considering other matters... The three's battle lasted a full hour, and as time passed, their internal energy was already more than half depleted.
Seeing their fatigued expressions, Fang Yuan flashed a few times, killing the monsters each of them was fighting.
"Phew~, Fang Yuan, are you really human?"
Having personally experienced the duration of a Gold Rank One professional, Li Xuefei couldn't help but complain about Fang Yuan again.
Only an hour had passed, and she, maintaining a high-intensity battle, had already consumed over eighty percent of her internal energy, meaning she could at most sustain it for another ten to twenty minutes.
It was precisely because of this personal experience that the young woman couldn't help but continue to complain; Fang Yuan's ability to battle for over ten hours was simply too exaggerated.
Like Li Xuefei, Lin Zhizhi, who was even more exhausted, also looked at him with full curiosity.
Only Gu Yue, who was relatively relaxed, stared at Fang Yuan with a strange look, not like the oddity of the first two, but rather with faint traces of fervent desire in her eyes.
At this moment, the great beauty was calculating how to act to increase her intimacy with the young man.
As long as intimacy increased, she could quickly raise her Physical Body strength by relying on the effect of the Chain of Life.
Later, she might even be able to replicate and borrow his Talent ability to fight for over ten hours.
After a few days of experience, Gu Yue had a deeper understanding of her newly acquired ability branch, knowing that the Chain of Life was definitely more than just connecting Physical Body strength.
As long as intimacy increased, and she could find a way to make Fang Yuan completely drop his guard around her, then she would definitely have a great chance to obtain some powerful abilities of the Transcendent True Spirit Talent.
Thinking of this, Gu Yue was not that happy. The thought of the relationship intimacy that had made no progress until now made her wonder how to improve it.
Her intimacy with the young man had directly increased by two points in these past few days, reaching seventy-seven points.
However, this was useless, because the Chain of Life only considered the lowest favorability.
As for Fang Yuan, aside from the two points his Great-Grand-Aunt gave him when she gifted him a few rare treasures, his favorability had not changed since, still only seventy-one points.
Favorability, being something invisible and intangible, Gu Yue didn't know how to quickly increase it. Although she could see the intimacy between them, she still had little clue what to do.
As Gu Yue was agonizing over it, she vaguely came back to her senses, finding herself already having followed the team back to the fortress under construction... Fortresses built on the edge of a dangerous Void Realm were generally constructed hundreds of meters underground by the Human Alliance, thus eliminating the need for a large amount of manpower to guard against monsters in the surrounding mist.
Building a steel fortress hundreds of meters underground seemed absurd and difficult, but for tens of thousands of professionals who collectively possessed immense strength, it presented no difficulty at all.
No matter how hard the rock they encountered, they could easily move it, with absolutely no difficulty.
Now, less than a day had passed, and in this heavily defended area, small hills had already appeared on the surface, all consisting of crushed rock and soil excavated from underground today.
The return of the group of beauties immediately attracted the attention of countless Defense Force members. When they saw Li Xuefei at the very front, they immediately straightened their bodies and saluted her.
This was their mayor's granddaughter. Although beauties were pleasing to the eye, they couldn't prioritize their own enjoyment over their duties.
"Fei'er, why are you only just returning now?"
Not long after returning, Li Xuefei's father, Li Tianyang, walked up to her and asked.
Li Tianyang, as the commander of the Ninth Legion of the Defense Force, naturally had to accompany the main army to this important event.
Coming to his daughter's side, the handsome Li Tianyang, in his early thirties, glanced at the ordinary young man beside her.
Before coming, he had seen this young man and his daughter chatting and laughing. This wouldn't do. Although Fang Yuan seemed to have a unique aura and his Rank was very high.
As an old father, Li Tianyang was wary of anyone who might potentially take his daughter away.
"Uncle Tianyang, is something the matter?"
Looked at by this dashing middle-aged man, Fang Yuan directly asked.
He didn't pay much attention to Li Tianyang; he was just an ordinary Gold Rank Nine professional, not even his opponent.
If not for the fact that he was Li Xuefei's father, Fang Yuan wouldn't even bother to ask him.
"Nothing."
When asked by the young man, all the words Li Tianyang originally intended to say were blocked, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
"How was the harvest today?"
No sooner had Li Tianyang finished speaking than a gentle and kind female voice came from the side. This was Li Xuefei's mother, Ye Xue, a squadron leader in the Ninth Legion of the Defense Force.
The Li family's influence in the Defense Force was considerable, managing several legions of ten thousand people.
"Today..."
As her mother, Ye Xue, spoke, Li Xuefei immediately and cheerfully recounted all their gains from today.
Hearing this, Li Tianyang and Ye Xue both fell silent. This was simply too much.
Their estimated harvest from this trip came out to an exaggerated figure exceeding five billion energy points.
When Li Tianyang learned that a large part of this credit belonged to the young man beside them, he immediately changed his perception of Fang Yuan. This was truly a good young man... The construction speed of the underground fortress was extremely fast. In just ten days, with the efforts of numerous Defense Force members, a steel fortress capable of accommodating over five hundred thousand people emerged hundreds of meters underground.
With the Demon Defense Fortress completed, the originally vast army left only a ten-thousand-strong legion and some necessary Alliance Army personnel.
After all this was done, the teleportation arrays from Sea City to various Void Realm Instances were also established, and the returning Defense Force members from Sea City gained the first qualification to enter the Void Realm Instances.
Taking advantage of this time, Fang Yuan also pulled some strings for his family, allowing them to enter the Void Realm Instance five days early.
