It was then that Chen Yu suddenly remembered.
In the Novice Area, thirty to fifty soul crystals were indeed a large sum of money. Zhao Hailiang, relying on his family's influence, acted as an agent for a super IP, frantically accumulating wealth in the early stages, but in the end, he only had eight or nine hundred soul crystals left, which were then swindled away by the Adventurers.
A Dungeon Lord needs soul crystals for everything related to construction. Whatever soul crystals they have must be invested in construction, otherwise, they won't be able to earn more.
So, at this stage...
To have the capital to give thirty to fifty soul crystals to a War Lord was indeed quite impressive.
Having spent thousands upon thousands before, Chen Yu had been led to believe that giving soul crystals to others also involved thousands upon thousands, completely unaware that this was a huge sum.
Li Siya was much the same. She originally had a good concept of soul crystals, but after being 'educated' by Chen Yu so many times, she too began to look down on thirty or fifty soul crystals.
...How about it, should we give him 30?
Li Siya asked.
Chen Yu scratched his head, "Forget it, let's give him 50. He’s his trusted aide, and he’s speaking so tearfully. It wouldn't do not to contribute something."
The main reason was that 30 was simply too little to give.
After speaking,
Chen Yu casually transferred another 1,000 soul crystals to Li Siya, telling her to handle the transfer as she saw fit. If Zhang Tianle’s Blackrock Troll was needed later to assist in constructing defensive facilities, some rewards could also be given appropriately.
Li Siya was somewhat numb now seeing so many soul crystals.
The previous amount hadn't even been fully spent.
And now more were given.
When did spending soul crystals become a difficult task?
After receiving the transfer,
Li Siya didn't say much and directly transferred 50 to Zhang Tianle.
This made Zhang Tianle overjoyed...
He couldn't help but think to himself: 'He actually casually gave me 50 soul crystals, and the transfer was so quick. It seems this Dungeon Lord is indeed very powerful.'
He had indeed followed the right person.
Decisively turning against the Angel Sanctuary earlier and then siding with this one was indeed the correct choice.
Zhang Tianle blissfully looked at the extra soul crystals in his warehouse. This was his first time possessing such an amount, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited inside.
At the same time, he also couldn't help but wonder if he had asked for too little, given how readily the transfer was made...
Next time, perhaps he should let a few more of his trusted aides 'die' and ask for more.
Maybe 100!
Zhang Tianle blissfully made a grand wish.
...
The Goblin Kingdom had concluded its cleanup.
Li Siya's troops had also begun exploring the Starlight Forest. The Sphinx's stamina was astonishing; unlike Adventurers who got sleepy at night, their exploration efficiency was very high.
If they got tired, they could also set up a temporary camp on the spot for rest and resupply.
It must be said.
In terms of collective action, the War Lord's troops were indeed much stronger than Adventurers. This was like the difference between ancient armies and knights.
On this night, Contract Adventurer also re-entered Dungeon and Eight Million Warriors to cultivate.
Now that their levels were almost sufficient,
the Dark Elf Kingdom was also about to open.
For the sake of the subsequent storyline, the Contract Adventurer would set off tomorrow for the Black Night Forest to the north, to search for traces of Dark Elves and try to bring back a few similar-looking NPCs.
In the evening,
Chen Yu suddenly went to Happy Chess and Cards and chatted with Li Yunque, who was drinking tea in the reception room.
Because he remembered.
Last time, Li Yunque had mentioned that the Deep Sea Town's Dungeon pillar industry had problems. Now, the entire town had no local Dungeons, and could only survive by farming Dungeons from other servers.
It could be said to be even more miserable than being reduced to a nascent town, as nascent towns would at least have some new Lords acting as agents for IPs. Their side had absolutely nothing.
Most of the Adventurers in the entire town were starving, and this situation wouldn't change until the next Dark Tide.
Currently, Adventurers in the town were also fleeing.
Originally, there were over 20,000 people, but now only about 10,000 remained.
If it weren't for Chen Yu's Steel Fortress and Liar Tavern providing them warmth, they would probably be like Tidal Town in the past.
So hungry they'd go out and dig for roots to eat...
The brothers were living a hard life!
Lord Chen was a kind person.
He truly couldn't bear to see his Adventurer brothers suffer.
Currently, the territory's population limit had soared, completely meeting the daily needs of Tidal Town's Adventurers.
The surplus population, naturally, could also be introduced to the neighboring town to rescue the Adventurer comrades from dire straits, simply as an act of charity.
It truly was an act of charity, and definitely not out of greed for the bodies of the neighboring brothers.
And this matter still needed the Adventurer's Guild to handle.
This was also why Chen Yu planned to support Li Ruopu to become the next Adventurer's Guild President. Otherwise, when Li Yunque retired, he would have to deal with a president supported by others, which would be quite troublesome.
Having one of his own people was much more convenient.
As for which Dungeons to introduce, and how many... Chen Yu wouldn't interfere.
Previously, the Steel Fortress was introduced to Deep Sea Town by Li Yunque, and Chen Yu also gained a good amount of profit, so it was fine for him to arrange these things himself.
In fact, normally, two steadily developing towns would not have such an introduction situation.
Firstly, their own side wouldn't have enough excellent Dungeons to play with.
Secondly, the other side would also need to support their Dungeon industry to avoid their town rating dropping during the next Dark Tide, leading to them being brushed into a nascent town.
Only the peculiar development circumstances of Tidal Town and Deep Sea Town led to this scene.
Chen Yu developed too quickly.
And Deep Sea Town had no development at all.
This led to both sides having their own needs.
After leaving the reception room, Li Yunque didn't idle. He immediately sent a message to the president of Deep Sea Town.
"Brother Wu, are you there?"
It was just a very ordinary opening line.
However, to Li Yunque's surprise, President Wu reacted with extreme panic.
"Brother, is something the matter? If it's about reclaiming the introduction rights to the Steel Fortress, then I hope brother will be merciful and leave us a way to live!"
Seeing this message,
Li Yunque couldn't help but laugh.
"Brother Wu, you've misunderstood. It's like this... Brother, I see you're not having an easy time, constantly running to those guys and taking their abuse. I heard White Night City just casually gave you another Dungeon to appease you, didn't they?"
"Yes, damn it, you're the best, brother, saving me from dire straits."
Li Yunque said with a chuckle, "Then I, your brother, will save you one more time. This time, I'll introduce four more high-quality Dungeons to you. Trust me, these four Dungeons will be enough for your Deep Sea Town to overcome its difficulties."
As soon as these words came out, President Wu was stunned.
"Brother, is this true?"
"Don't believe it then!"
"I believe it, I believe it a million times over! If we can overcome this difficulty, Deep Sea Town will follow your lead from now on, brother."
