93: Xie Yufeng urgently asks for help, exchanging corpse for arrows?

Mo Yan watched Lu Mingyuan's retreating figure, his gaze returning to the pile of Fire Lizard and Flame Demon corpses.

“One Rank 3 Butchering Platform, two decomposition stations…” Mo Yan mumbled to himself, “At the current decomposition speed, I’m afraid it will be difficult to keep up with the rate at which corpses are generated.”

With automatic production, these accumulated corpses would be a considerable number over time.

If they couldn't be decomposed in time, piling them up would also be a waste.

“I can only upgrade the Butchering Platform and add more decomposition stations.”

Mo Yan rubbed his brow.

The Weapon Workshop, Armor Workshop, and Yu Shan Workshop, these artisans and chefs, have also been incredibly busy recently.

For the territory to develop, relying solely on a few of them would eventually become overwhelming.

“Weapon forging, armor crafting, Textile Workshop, Ling food cooking… these specialized professionals are still too few.”

“Don't think about it so much. First, repair the damaged buildings.”

He pulled up the building list on the Lords Manor panel.

The Simple Wooden Wall, Basic Arrow Tower, and Frost Arrow Tower that were damaged in battle all flickered with repair prompts.

Mo Yan directly chose to repair all of them.

“Prompt: Simple Wooden Wall is being repaired. Remaining time: 29:59 minutes/section.”

“Prompt: Basic Arrow Tower is being repaired. Remaining time: 19:59 minutes/tower.”

“Next, it's building upgrades.”

Yu Shan Workshop, Technology Research Institute, Ling fields, Butchering Platform, Academy, Warehouse, Ice Crystal Cabin, and those three Simple Wooden Cabins.

“Upgrade all to Rank 4!”

“Prompt: Upgrading Yu Shan Workshop (Rank 3 -> Rank 4). Consumes wood x7600, stone x3200, iron ore x400, Origin Stone x50.”

“Remaining time: 2:14:59.”

A series of upgrade lights lit up across various parts of the territory.

Immediately after, he turned his attention to several other Rank 3 buildings.

“Stable, Well, Textile Workshop, Tavern, all upgraded to Rank 3.”

“Prompt: Upgrading Stable (Rank 2 -> Rank 3). Consumes…”

“Remaining time: 1:14:59.”

Having completed these tasks, Mo Yan did not stop.

“The residents' living conditions should also be improved.”

He had only built one Ice Crystal Cabin before, and coincidentally, three wooden cabins were damaged. Now was a good time to build more Ice Crystal Cabins.

“First, build fourteen Ice Crystal Cabins and place them in the residential area.”

“Prompt: Building Ice Crystal Cabin (Rank 1) x14. Consumes…”

“Construction time: 14:59:59.”

The ethereal images of fourteen Ice Crystal Cabins appeared in the designated area.

“The Lords Manor and Bathhouse should also be on the agenda.”

A proper manor is not only a symbol of status but also provides many conveniences.

“Prompt: Building Lords Manor (Rank 1). Consumes…”

“Prompt: Building Bathhouse (Rank 1). Consumes…”

He arranged all the planned upgrades and construction projects in one go.

Mo Yan let out a long sigh of relief.

After this series of operations, the resources in his talent space instantly shrank significantly.

He pulled up the consumption record to check how many resources were consumed in this major renovation.

Even with the hoarding bonus effect, quite a lot was consumed.

food 4600, wood 31580, stone 19440, iron ore 5570, Origin Stone 200, gold coins 13040.

“Oh, right. Now that resources are plentiful, it's a good time to upgrade Alliance technology. The Alliance territory can be built in a good feng shui location after I return.”

Mo Yan opened the Alliance panel.

He found that the two previously completed quests had refreshed.

“1. ☆ United Efforts · food: Alliance members collectively donate 1000 units of food to the Alliance Warehouse.”

“Reward: Alliance Experience +10, Personal Points +1 (for every 100 units of food donated).”

“Status: In Progress (0/1000).”

“2. ☆ United Efforts · iron ore: Alliance members collectively donate 1000 units of iron ore to the Alliance Warehouse.”

“Reward: Alliance Experience +10, Personal Points +1 (for every 100 units of iron ore donated).”

“Status: In Progress (0/1000).”

“Still one-star quests. This must be a beginner's benefit; I estimate it won't be this simple in the future,” Mo Yan secretly thought.

He directly chose to donate.

“Prompt: You have donated 1000 units of food to the Alliance Warehouse. Personal Points +10, Alliance Experience +10!”

“Prompt: United Efforts · food quest completed (1000/1000)!”

“Prompt: You have donated iron ore to the Alliance Warehouse…”

Instantly, the two quests were completed again.

Alliance Experience increased by another 20 points.

He then opened the Alliance Technology interface.

At this moment, the wood and stone requirements for Elementary Construction Speed I were both met.

Only 500 units of gold coins remained.

He directly donated the gold coins and clicked [Research].

“Prompt: You have donated 500 units of gold coins for Alliance Technology, Elementary Construction Speed I.”

“Prompt: Alliance Technology, Elementary Construction Speed I, research has begun. Remaining time: 12 hours.”

“Prompt: Alliance Experience +5, Personal Points +5!”

“This way, the construction speed of all Alliance members, including myself, can increase by 1%.”

Mo Yan looked at the other Elementary technologies.

With a burst of energy, he filled the gold coin requirements for these Elementary technologies as well.

“Prompt: Alliance Experience +3, Personal Points +5!”

“Prompt: Alliance Experience +15, Personal Points +35!”

A series of donation operations brought Mo Yan's Personal Points to 65.

Alliance Experience also surged upwards.

Just as he was about to close the Alliance panel,

a message suddenly popped up in the Alliance channel.

Xie Yufeng: Boss, Jianghu emergency! I want to trade a batch of exotic beast corpses for arrows!

Mo Yan's eyebrows slightly raised when he saw this message.

This kid still hadn't finished fighting the beast tide; he was too slow.

Mo Yan: What kind of corpses? How many do you need?

Xie Yufeng was currently directing his Soldiers to resist wave after wave of exotic beasts.

Seeing Mo Yan's reply, a look of wild joy instantly appeared on his face.

Xie Yufeng: “I mainly have Mumu Sheep and Duomimi corpses, about two hundred or so in total (image).”

“Arrows are almost running out. Ordinary iron arrows will do. How many can you trade for?”

Mo Yan looked at the types of corpses Xie Yufeng sent and silently thought, “Value Insight.”

“Mumu Sheep Corpse (Rank 1, Rank 2)”

“Common Materials: Flexible Beast Hide, Tender Beast Meat, Wool, Horns”

“Special Materials: May contain wood Crystal Shard (requires Decomposer)”

“Overall Value: Low”

“Duomimi Corpse (Rank 1, Rank 2)”

“Common Materials: Carapace, Sharp Mouthparts, Wings, Honey Sac”

“Special Materials: May contain wood Crystal Shard, small amount of active pollen (requires Decomposer)”

“Overall Value: Medium”
