52: Chapter 52 Resource Manifestation, the Role of the Decryption Card

The Lords Hall was in total uproar.

[Anonymous: "What! It's the Dragon Kingdom again!!"]

[Anonymous: "That guy from just now can start eating."]

[US Lord: "Ensuring territorial development while exploring outside? Is that even possible!"]

[Lord of Spain: "Two leaderboards, six rankings, and no other country has a single repeat, yet the Dragon Kingdom managed to take two first places in a row!!"]

[Lord of India: "Brother Su, you know our relationship; if there are any benefits, please don't forget your brother!"]

[Lord of Japan: "To be able to take two first places, the strength of the Dragon Kingdom is absolutely unquestionable. Everyone, be on guard."]

Lord of England.

Elizabeth stared at the 10,000 command points and the extra mining machine in her inventory, lost in thought.

Because negotiations with Afghanistan failed, she didn't secure the oil to gain an early advantage.

Therefore, she didn't think she would be able to secure a ranking among the Lords at all.

And now, she had actually taken second place, surpassing the US Lord!

Initially, she found it hard to believe and even thought the System had made a mistake.

It wasn't until she saw that the Dragon Kingdom was in first place that her doubts were resolved.

The Dragon Kingdom had taken first place with its formidable capabilities, and she, as its ally, had received a high ally score bonus.

It was thanks to this extra bonus that she was able to secure second place in the development rankings.

With the old doubts resolved, new ones emerged.

How exactly did Su Yang manage to take first place in the development rankings with a Bronze Age civilization?

Why could they repeatedly achieve miraculous feats? Is the Qin Dynasty really just an ancient Bronze Age civilization?

Countless questions swirled in Elizabeth's mind.

Along with her joy came many mysteries.

What was the true strength of the Dragon Kingdom?

She found it increasingly difficult to see through Su Yang and the civilization he backed.

They seemed somewhat... beyond reason?

Taking first place in two rounds not only made the Lords Hall boil with excitement.

Even Su Yang's private chat channel was bombarded one after another.

[Samba Empire: "My birthplace is the Wild Forest. If there is an opportunity in the future, I hope we can cooperate."]

[Korea: "Korea and the Dragon Kingdom are originally civilizations of the same origin. Your harvest today also includes the contributions of our Korean ancestors. Give me some Face, and how about we form an alliance?"]

[Lord of India: "Emperor Su bra, don't forget our agreement by the banks of the Ganges!"]

An agreement by the banks of the Ganges?

That was a bit too much.

Su Yang threw every single private message into the recycle bin.

Basically, they were all nonsense; either asking for an alliance or trying to farm goodwill.

Su Yang's philosophy was that allies should be high-quality, not numerous.

A group of people without strength gathering together would only be a mob.

Moreover, the world is bustling, all for the sake of profit.

Allies made under such momentum would inevitably lack sincerity.

They would flock to you because of your strength, and they would stab you in the back because of your decline.

In the process of quickly deleting private messages, one message caught Su Yang's attention.

[Lord of Japan: "To Su Yang: Ruins are difficult to find in the early stages and carry great risks. If Your Excellency does not currently intend to explore ruins, I am willing to exchange 8,000 command points for the decryption card. Pray for an early reply. Your friend—Tojo Injin"]

Japan wants to trade for the decryption card?

Have they also discovered ruins, or is there another purpose?

Su Yang's thoughts churned.

Don't look at how polite this Japanese guy is on the surface; who knows how many schemes he has in the back.

Moreover, Tojo Injin is among the most fanatical and shrewd people in Japan; he is extremely calculating.

His original plan must have been to take first place in the exploration ranking to obtain the decryption card.

But he didn't expect that I would intervene halfway and disrupt his plan.

So he had to take the inferior route and exchange using command points.

All this indicates that the decryption card has great utility for Japan!

Thinking of this, the corner of Su Yang's mouth curled up slightly.

[Lord of Dragon Kingdom: "Sure, the decryption card is of no use to me. Send the command points over, and I will ship it."]

[Lord of Japan: "Thank you, Su Yang. You send the decryption card first, and I will transfer the command points immediately."]

Su Yang snorted coldly and swiped his hand.

Tojo Injin and his hypocritical private message were packed up and thrown into the recycle bin.

It's a pity I couldn't scam this old fox.

After dealing with the private messages, Su Yang closed the Lords Hall directly.

He had too many things to deal with now and had no intention of paying attention to those idle gossips.

First and most importantly, he needed to allocate the production facilities properly.

Now, with the two newly acquired mining machines, there are a total of 3 mining machines on standby in the territory.

It is necessary to conduct a resource demand analysis for the territory and then allocate the production facilities as soon as possible.

With the dual buffs of "Prosperous Nation and Peaceful People" and The Progressive accelerating resource production, every second these two mining machines remain on standby is a huge loss.

Next is the use of new buildings and command points brought by the Level 3 Main Base.

After unlocking the Level 3 lords residence, Su Yang has currently only built one hero building and one mining machine.

There are still many new buildings, new technologies, and new upgrades that he hasn't had time to analyze yet.

Once the iron ore resources from England arrive, he will need to gradually upgrade and unlock these new fields according to the development direction of the territory.

What technologies can the Level 3 Main Base unlock? What kind of powerful new troop types will the Iron Age bring?

All of this made Su Yang look forward to it immensely.

The 25,000 command points from the Lord rankings have arrived, and the command points in the territory have reached as high as 34,580!

Su Yang believes that with so many command points in hand, he shouldn't have to worry about the upcoming upgrades.

Finally, there is the use of the decryption card to obtain detailed information about that ruin.

If he is lucky, the rewards after clearing the ruins will also be very rich.

However, Su Yang is not in a hurry about this. The territory has just experienced a great battle, and neither the resources nor the state of the soldiers are very good.

He plans to wait until all resources are in place and the soldiers have been upgraded and rested before heading to the ruins to use the decryption card.

Apart from the above pending items, Su Yang has one more thing that needs an immediate decision.

Let the System calculate the resources produced and obtained by the territory within a week, and then materialize them into reality.

According to the statistics, the resources in the territory this week, after a hundredfold materialization, can roughly meet the needs of an Earth-Grade city for one year.

What Su Yang needs to do is select an area on the map of the Dragon Kingdom that needs the materialized resources.

He opened the map of the Dragon Kingdom and selected an Earth-Grade city located in a disaster-stricken province in the southeast.

According to his impression, it is an industrial city, possessing a series of factories such as thermal power plants.

Restoring this city can allow the surrounding areas to benefit as well.

His thoughts flashed, and Su Yang confirmed his choice.

Afterwards, it is time to consider the upgrade matters for the territory.

Besides the hero building, the Level 3 Main Base also brings a series of upgrades for troop types and technologies.

Once these upgrades are completed, the territory will enter a brand new stage!
