63: All members resurrect, shadow ambush

2.7 million star coins.

A wave of sudden wealth.

The key is...

This is only the Star Tower's one-day income.

If calculated in real-world time, it would double again.

Five million!

Two days.

In just two days, the ten million star coins needed for the upgrade would be enough.

Hiss~

They really can farm.

Lin Ye himself farms quickly, but he farms for less time.

Now with more people, farming all beach areas together, even if slower, is sustained and never stops.

"Are the resources still sufficient?"

He clicked open the merit exchange list, and most of the equipment inside hadn't been touched much, with many legendary items still sitting there, unexchanged.

Good heavens.

For the talent scrolls.

They are all selflessly contributing, asking for nothing in return.

Massive profit.

It still has to be drawing prizes to make money~

The more you draw, the more you earn.

Don't be afraid of high-value prizes; you won't catch the wolf without sacrificing the child. This is how you attract more people to draw.

Lin Ye clicked on the merit ranking.

"Bian Yuerong is first, normal."

"Southern Lin Bloodblade is second, not much difference."

After that,

The merit values showed a huge gap.

"Hmm, it should be due to the concentration of star coins; someone is buying them outside."

Lin Ye didn't care; as long as the star coins and materials ultimately flowed to the Star Tower, it was fine.

"Revive, revive!"

Now that he had money, he didn't need to look at prices when buying things.

Click!

Click all!

Successfully revived Sevena, consumed 128,000 star coins.

Successfully revived Hearne Cassius, consumed 420,000 star coins.

Successfully revived Skola, consumed 480,000 star coins.

Successfully revived Alistia, consumed 1,000,000 star coins.

...

The material warehouse at the back of the village had now been simply renovated into an office by Bai Shuya.

"Tailor, Sevena, greetings to Sir Strobes..."

"Mechanic, Hearne Cassius..."

"Beast Tamer, Skola..."

The last to arrive was a young woman over two meters tall, with astonishingly long legs, clad in dark scale-patterned light armor, a long ponytail tied behind her head, and a handgun over two meters long in her hand, which didn't look out of place at all.

"Hunter of Shadows, Alistia..."

Lin Ye nodded secretly.

He didn't know how strong the Hunter of Shadows was, but her legs could really take a life; they looked to be about 1.5 to 1.6 meters long!

Thankfully,

My current physique is no longer that of a mortal.

Otherwise, this perspective would be too awkward.

"Alistia?"

"Here!"

Lin Ye asked, "You should know Lulu's strength, right? If it's a one-on-one fight, can you handle it?"

Alistia didn't hesitate, her expression calm as she said, "If it's a desperate fight to the death, I have an 80% chance of killing it!"

"That fierce?"

Lin Ye was a little surprised; he had previously assumed her strength was not enough to handle Lulu.

Alistia explained, "Before, I didn't want to kill Lulu, after all, everyone still relied on it to resist the storm, and I am an assassin-type profession, my output burst is very concentrated, if I don't kill it, the difficulty will be very great."

Indeed, defeating is harder than killing.

Lin Ye was short on time now and couldn't ask in detail; he would study it slowly later.

"Since you have this strength, the task of guarding the village will be entrusted to you; I need to take Lulu with me this time."

"Oh, right."

"The Mechanic is also here; can the guards at the entrance be repaired?"

Cassius stepped forward and said, "The shapeshifting guards are completely damaged, and the main core energy device is broken. We no longer have any in stock. If you can collect some materials, I can reforge them, and their quality can even be improved."

Lin Ye pulled Bai Shuya forward: "Just find her for whatever you need."

Bai Shuya had also been waiting for a long time.

"You repaired all the buildings here, right? Now we need to expand and add many new houses, but the materials I brought from outside can't withstand a single storm here."

Cassius was the oldest among them; even after healing, he looked much older than Tu Xiusi, still appearing as an elder. He chuckled and said,

"This is space-time turbulence; materials from outside cannot be used. You must go to the beach to collect those star rocks that have been polished by space-time and remain undamaged to withstand the wind."

So that's how it is, Bai Shuya nodded gently.

Cassius continued, "Also, there isn't much room for the village to expand. If you truly want to develop, you still need to improve the quality of the Star Tower and expand its protective range. Many core buildings cannot be repaired by me alone; they require the support of the Star Tower."

"The upgrade materials for the Star Tower will be gathered soon." Lin Ye still had a question: "But where is the time-space core produced?"

This...

Cassius pondered for a moment.

"When we first arrived, Captain Villox, despite his injuries, desperately killed a Star Devouring Beast, and we were able to build the Star Tower using the time-space core that dropped from it."

"However, we prayed to the Star Tower but received no response from the empire. After that, Captain Villox entered a death-like slumber, and we couldn't continue to sustain ourselves..."

"If you wish to obtain a time-space core, you might only be able to find a Star Devouring Beast and kill it."

Alistia heard this and immediately stepped forward, saying, "I can set up capture traps, otherwise, relying solely on searching along the Star Sea, it might take many years to even get a chance for it to show itself."

Star Devouring Beast in the Star Sea?

Tsk, that would indeed be very troublesome to kill.

Lin Ye nodded and said, "First, prepare the trap materials; everything else can wait until I return."

star coins.

There were still several hundred thousand left, stored in the Star Tower.

time crystals.

Twenty-three thousand pieces.

Crystals of space.

Eighteen thousand pieces.

All the material gains were here.

If there wasn't a hundredfold increase, relying on a few hundred pieces a day to upgrade, it would be years before that happened.

Now,

Even if all these materials were used to synthesize time-space crystals, it would be less than two hundred.

However,

Ten thousand time crystals were enough for him to upgrade his gloves.

Lin Ye left ten thousand of each for Bai Shuya and took the rest with him.

He had no star coins left anyway.

Time to save up again.

Actually, in terms of star coin income, two days in reality would be enough for the upgrade.

However, material income was noticeably slower.

"Theoretically, there should be a little more material."

Lin Ye had farmed before.

He knew the ratio.

100,000 star coins, roughly 100 time crystals.

Hmm.

If calculated this way, it's about the same; perhaps some materials are still hoarded by players.

Lin Ye thought for a moment, still not at ease, and instructed Bai Shuya, "You must keep a close eye on the space-time crystals; not a single one can be taken out."

This material has a higher value outside.

Of course,

Money isn't the main issue.

The key is that eternal also possesses space-time series skills.

And they also need space-time series crystals as materials to support the research and use of related skills and magic.

Once materials flow out in large quantities,

The Forgotten Land's own advantage would be greatly weakened.

"Lulu, come here."

Lin Ye called the dog over, stood on the mirror it unfolded, and teleported away together.

Success!

Lin Ye had previously wondered if the NPCs from the Forgotten Land could be brought out.

Now it seems,

There are no problems whatsoever.

Therefore,

NPCs, players, equipment, and items in eternal can all be directly teleported to reality.

The only problem,

Is that there's no such long-distance teleportation array right now.

He wouldn't consider these for now.

Lin Ye shook off the thoughts in his mind and muttered, "I wonder how that princess is doing now?"

...

Liefeng Canyon.

The only magic bridge spanning the ten-thousand-meter abyss was the border between the two countries.

At this moment,

On the bridge.

Ayla was desperately pulling her princess, running wildly.

"Wuwuwu, I told you long ago, your predictions aren't always accurate, why did you have to take the risk?"

Behind them,

The figures of the Imperial Guards were nowhere to be seen; only hundreds of Shadows were fighting with the Royal Guards.

Thump~

As the last accompanying Royal Guard fell,

Dozens of Shadow Group members appeared on the canyon bridge.

"Hehehe~"

"My dear Princess Isolde, you can't escape now. Why don't you sit down and have a good chat?"

The speaker was shrouded in dark aura, and the blade in his hand burned with black flames, making him appear like a Black Hell Reaper who had emerged from hell to harvest living souls.

Black Hell Reaper.

That was the name given to him on the imperial wanted list.

1 million gold coins.

That was the highest bounty offered by the empire.

Compared to his past name, he preferred this title because he most enjoyed using dark hellfire to harvest living souls in the human world.

Fear!

That was the only emotion people felt when they saw him.

Because,

Those who died under the dark hellfire could not be revived!

"I heard..."

"Her Royal Highness's prophecy is one of the most unique talents on the entire Eternal Continent."

Hahahahaha~

"I want to ask, did you predict that you... would go to hell today?"
