Chapter 215 The Dilemma of Individual Players
"I have found someone to deal with the four and a half planes that I captured last time, but the price is much lower, only 80% of the previous price." A station The fat middle-aged man in the front reported that he had a larger head and bright eyes. Compared with other rough-looking companions, his temperament was full of wisdom and he looked quite smart.
He is a member of the Beast Alliance who is responsible for handling transactions and communication, that is, the financial officer.
Usually, after the Beast Alliance knocks down the Void Plane and searches for it, it will hand over the Void Plane to him in exchange for resources.
“Why are the prices getting lower and lower?” Some members frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction.
The other members also frowned and looked at the fat middle-aged man, hoping he would give an explanation.
As individual stream players, they do not have the ability to control believers like gods, so their power development is only a little better than the indigenous forces, or even worse.
If nothing else, in terms of war potential, they are indeed inferior to some indigenous forces.
Because the most important thing about war potential is that it is renewable.
Both the population and resources must be able to keep up.
Unfortunately, these two points happen to be the worst aspects of individual streaming players.
The first is the population. This population does not refer to those miscellaneous fish monsters, but the elites who truly have development potential and are willing to fight for the players.
Without various infrastructure, and unable to improve the qualifications of the dependents like those who believe in gods, there is only one way for them to keep up with the players who believe in gods.
Conquer those forces with hundreds or thousands of years of history, and then directly absorb them, use force to control them, and let them serve themselves.
And this will inevitably require giving up something, such as loyalty.
In the development process of individual stream players, their subordinates change very quickly, and without the accumulation of time, there is naturally no so-called loyalty at all.
In this way, their real core population is actually pitifully small, only a few million to survive.
A population of several million, with the regeneration ability of a hammer.
In terms of resources, the same principle is similar. Without the various infrastructures of the players who believe in them, it is impossible to support their power just by farming and mining.
If religious players are likened to developing civilization, then individual casual players are like plundering civilization.
They mainly support themselves by plundering the accumulation of other forces. Sometimes they will also accept employment from other players and send troops to help in exchange for rewards.
The sale of the demiplane of the void is one of their main sources of resources.
So, once the value of the demiplane drops, many of them will suffer. Without external resources to fill it, they can barely maintain their current power, let alone continue to move forward.
“There is nothing we can do about it, the market is saturated.”
The slightly fat middle-aged man explained: “Those previous customers bought most of what they wanted to buy, and half of them How can I put it, the demand for this thing is actually very limited. Those customers don't even understand their own planes, so how can they dare to buy so many half planes? "
"And those customers are even more powerful. Weak players often buy a plane and then jointly develop and manage it. The demand is not large."
He hesitated for a moment, looked at everyone, and then said: "And we clean the plane. At that time, it was a little too clean, and basically there was only an undeveloped land.”
For players, capturing half a plane can get a lot of loot, and the most important one is. , in fact, it is not the land and mineral veins, but the powerful creatures and monsters above.
As mentioned before, the more powerful the creatures, the higher their value.
Whether it is mineral veins or land, it takes time to show value, but creatures and monsters do not need it, they can use it directly.
It sounds a bit cruel, but directly devouring powerful creatures is actually a very rapid way of growth, and it is currently the main way for player families to improve their realm.
The reason why so many high-level legions emerged in the Eternal Night Empire has a lot to do with this aspect. They used a predatory attack method to devour all the creatures in the void plane and It becomes a stepping stone for you to climb up.
According to empire statistics, two epic beasts can often produce a high-level warrior.
When the Alliance of Beasts captured it, they dealt with it in almost the same way. The only difference may be that they gave those creatures a choice.
Surrender, or destroy.
But no matter which method is used, the native creatures in the captured plane will not be retained. As a result, the value of this plane will be compromised for players.
With the development now, most players will not lack regular resources.
So the mineral veins and spiritual plants above are not very attractive to them.
Tian Mo quickly understood the meaning and said softly: "You mean, the price will drop in the future, and we probably won't be able to do this business?"
"That's pretty much what it means."
The fat man nodded and said: "If we don't want to be in the dilemma of lack of resources in the future, we should start looking for new channels now."
"It's really troublesome..."
Tian Mo rubbed his head, sighed, looked at everyone, and said: "You have heard what I said, please tell me what opinions you have. Although we still have a lot of resource reserves, we can't just sit back and rest on nothing. Right.”
There is no doubt that the Alliance of Beasts is powerful, but its shortcomings are also obvious.
They are like a war machine that keeps moving forward. It needs to be constantly filled with fuel before it can run. It cannot stop for a moment. Once it stops, this war machine will immediately disintegrate.
Everyone began to express their opinions and put forward what they thought was a good idea to find a way out for the alliance and themselves.
……
Eternal Night Empire.
Institute.
This is the research center of the Evernight Empire, and what it studies can be said to directly determine the technological direction of the empire.
High-precision instruments of immeasurable value are running. Magic and technology coexist, giving people a magical feeling.
A group of middle-aged men in white coats and white coats who look older are busy at work. The precision instruments shine with infinite brilliance in their hands.
“According to our experiments, there is no problem with the information obtained by the Great Priest. This is indeed the technical information of the Space Gate, and in my opinion, it is very reliable. We can even directly follow the above Technology is here to build the space gate." A researcher said excitedly. It was hard to believe that the space gate technology that had been stuck in the empire for so many years was just obtained.
"Are you sure?" A senior researcher frowned.
“Yes, I’m sure.”
The researcher said: “Based on the above information, our team has made some improvements to the original space gate. The effect is very significant, and the transmission range It has increased by 20%, and the stability has also been improved a lot. Accidents will not happen as frequently as before." The senior researcher was silent for a while, then looked at the test data, and then said:
"Let's do this. , I will approve another trial fund for your team. You go and test it a few more times. After making sure it is correct, tally up the results and show them to me.”
For now. For the Eternal Night Empire, the research on the Space Gate is a top priority, much more important than any invention.
After all, the teleportation ability of the Space Gate is directly related to capturing the Blood Empire and unifying the layout of the plane.
Nowadays, most of the wise men of the Eternal Night Empire have realized that if they want to defeat the Blood Empire, they have only two ways to go. Either rely on their strength to crush it forcefully without giving the other side any chance to resist, or they can directly eliminate the distance between the two sides. , put the troops there, rely on a larger army, and conquer the Western Continent step by step.
The former is difficult to do.
Even though the development potential of the Eternal Night Empire is far greater than that of the Blood Empire, their development time is still too short after all.
They are stronger than the Blood Empire, and much stronger, but they are still on the same level, which is not enough to form a crushing force. With the help of geographical advantages, both sides still have to fight.
So if they want to unify the plane, they can only take the second way.
Eliminate the influence of distance as much as possible and give full play to your own advantages.
As long as the troops can be sent to the blood empire itself, even if the blood clans defend themselves in the city, it will not help.
At that time, the Blood Empire will face the same situation as the Hundred Nations Alliance, or even worse.
After all, the Hundred Nations Alliance still had hope for the Blood Empire at that time, but when it was the Blood Empire's turn, they could only rely on themselves.
Because of this, the empire is not stingy at all in the research of space gates.
In other words, they were already very generous, but now they are even more generous.
When there were no results before, a huge amount of resources were invested every year. Now that there are concrete results, this investment will only increase, not decrease.
“Okay.”
The researcher in charge nodded repeatedly and replied excitedly.
"Go ahead and work hard. If you can really produce results, I will report to the Council of Elders and ask you to come back as a noble." The senior researcher with a high status patted him. shoulder, smiled.
"Thank you, boss. I will work harder to get the space door out as soon as possible." The researcher became even more excited, and his heart was surging.
Imperial researchers have a high status and good benefits, but in the Yongye Empire, which is full of martial virtues, they are still inferior to those nobles who own fiefs.
The senior researcher nodded and then asked him to go back to research.
“These guys are really smart enough to produce results so quickly.” Su Xingyu, who is practicing in the God’s Domain, pays special attention to this matter, seeing that it has only been a few years since he handed over the technical information. In just a few months, the Imperial Research Institute has actually mastered part of the technology and improved the original space gate. I can't help but feel a little emotional.
According to his assumptions, even if the technical data were perfect, with the capabilities of the Evernight Empire, it would take several years to produce results. Who knows, in the end, someone would have done it in just a few months.
According to this trend, it is estimated that it will not be long before the empire can build a complete space gate.
Even the lowest-level space gate has a transmission range of one thousand kilometers, and it is very stable. Normal mid-level extraordinary warriors can pass through it. This is much stronger than the one created by the original Eternal Night Empire. .
"That guy No. 2 does have some skills. I don't know if it comes with his godhead or if he picked up some relics."
Sitting on the throne, he whispered to himself: " In this case, I should prepare a little bit, so as not to be in a hurry..."
Since I am sure that the technology provided by the other party is genuine, I naturally have to do what I promised the other party.
Go to the half-plane of the void designated by the opponent, help out once, and share the pressure of the demigod siege.
This sounds simple, but in fact it is quite troublesome.
Let alone anything else, the unknown is too high.
The location is completely determined by "No. 2", and they themselves have no knowledge of it. If the other party has malicious intentions and wants to trap them and kill them, then the feasibility is very high.
At least, as far as Su Xingyu himself is concerned.
If you give him enough time to prepare, he can kill many players.
But having said that, Su Xingyu has no intention of violating the agreement. He still has a spirit of contract. At least the current situation is not enough for him to violate it.
Since he agreed, he will definitely help.
But...help is help, how to help is another matter.
First of all, you need to find out what the other party’s needs are?
"No. 2" needs their help to share the pressure of the demigod level.
This requirement is very clear and simple.
Since it is just to share the pressure, there is no need to send the real body, just get a demigod incarnation.
When Zhang Tao put forward his request, Su Xingyu never thought that he would send his real body there.
After all, the risk is too high.
In a completely unknown situation, follow another unknown player and go to another unknown place to help.
No normal person would agree to this.
Su Xingyu is naturally not a fool. The reason why he agreed is because he has a way to deal with it.
He has many demigod incarnations. With a certain amount of spiritual consciousness, these demigod incarnations can exert considerable strength. I dare not say anything else. The high-level demigods are guaranteed to be strong and powerful. God capped.
Su Xingyu believes that the incarnation of a powerful demigod can already meet the requirements of "Number Two".
In this way, even if the other party really has some plan, he will only lose a demigod incarnation.
Su Xingyu didn't know what other people thought, but in his opinion, exchanging a demigod incarnation for the technical information of the space gate was a very profitable deal.
As mentioned before, the technology of the Space Gate is not limited to this plane, but can also be extended to other half-planes of the void. Even when the void is expanded in the future, they can directly pass through the Space Gate. Invade other players' planes.
Although we haven't reached that situation yet, we can still look ahead and make arrangements in advance.
