Starting From Zero

Chapter 219 Building Momentum

I have never doubted the speed of the Flying Bird, and in fact, the Flying Bird has never had any accidents in this regard. The Elf Air Cavalry behind them indeed flew up in a huge mass, and since it was already past four in the morning, the sky was actually starting to turn a little red. In other words, the sky will light up after a while, and then the visibility will improve significantly. However, all this has nothing to do with me, because as the afterburner of the flying bird is fully turned on, the air cavalry behind is thrown to the other side of the horizon in the blink of an eye. Not to mention eating ashes, they can't even see the exhaust gas. To a wisp.

Of course I was very excited to successfully get rid of those elves, but Avis, who should have been more excited than me, now looked like he was about to die. For no other reason than because this guy has never flown like this.

The elves are a race with more aerial cavalry, but whether they are hippogryphs, griffins or chimera, they are all normal monsters, at least they fly normally. Normal people cannot withstand the acceleration of seven or eight g like a flying bird. Not vomiting already shows that Ives is in good health.

"Are you okay?" After letting the bird slow down, I patted Ives gently and asked.

Ives said with a constipated expression: "It's okay, it's just that my intestines seem to be knotted!"

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"It's not an exaggeration at all. When your demon pet accelerated just now, I felt like I was going to die!"

"I didn't run away just to hurry up. By the way. We have completed the mission now, right?"

Avis glanced back, but of course saw nothing. "We can no longer see the pursuers, so that should be fine. We can go back now."

"Okay, let's return." I said, patted the bird on the back and shouted, "Turn around, let's go back."

"No!" As Avis screamed miserably, the bird tilted sideways, then maneuvered at a large angle, easily passed a V-shaped corner and flew towards the elf city. When we left the Elf Capital before, we were afraid that the other party would find clues about the Elf City based on the direction we left, so we deliberately chose a different direction to fly. Now that we have gotten rid of all the elves, there is no need to continue along the same route. The line flew.

"Did you get the stuff?" Ten minutes later, the door to the patriarch's office in Elf City was suddenly pushed open. The elf leader rushed in excitedly. She happened to be away when we first came back. However, the person who received us happened to know our special mission, so he directly arranged for us to wait here. The elf leader ran back immediately after receiving the report. As soon as he opened the door, he saw me sitting at the table chewing fruit and Ives lying on the chair next to him like a plague chicken. "What's wrong with him? Is he hurt?"

"No. Just a little airsick."

"Oh." The Elf leader didn't dig into it. Knowing that he wasn't injured, he didn't care about him anymore. Instead, he turned to me excitedly and asked, "Did you get the stuff?"

As I nodded, I opened the Phoenix Dragon Space and poured out all the seeds I had obtained before. The elf leader looked at these seeds excitedly and stroked them one by one and said: "Finally got it. Haha, finally got it. With these we can become the strongest city in the elf kingdom. It's great!"

"That... Patriarch. Don't be too excited yet. Should you take these seeds to the Tree of Life to absorb them first? Our guild is still waiting to copy the seeds?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot about this." The elf leader put down the seeds and said to me: "During the time you left, people from your guild have been in contact with me. Your city can be built now. .As for these seeds, we have already discussed them. Let your Tree of Life absorb them first."

"Let us go first?" The Elf Chief nodded and said, "Although I am anxious to have these seeds, I thought it would be better to let your Tree of Life absorb them."

"Why do you think so?"

"Actually, the reason is very simple." The Elf Chief said: "Our Tree of Life is just a normal Tree of Life, and its growth rate is as slow as flying. If our tree is allowed to absorb these seeds, it must first face Regarding a question about the success rate. Although you brought so many seeds, it is not certain how many seeds we can get. After the Tree of Life absorbs the seeds, it is not 100% that it will obtain the genes of this seed. Among them The probability is only about one-third. In other words, after two-thirds of the seeds are absorbed, apart from providing a small amount of energy, the Tree of Life will not gain the ability to produce such seeds."

"There are actually such serious restrictions?"

"Otherwise, why do you think the royal court restricts the seeds so hard?" The Elf clan leader said: "Although the seeds produced by the ancient tree of life of this tribe are rare, if all of them can pass on the genes, then I estimate that all the tribes of the Elf tribe will Maybe there are already several special seeds. The key problem is that this success rate is too low. A one-third success rate is considered high for many things, but considering the ancient tree of life The ratio of the number of special seeds produced is really unacceptably low.”

"Is this related to you giving us the seeds?"

"Yes." The elf clan leader nodded: "According to the god in your guild..."

"Persephone?"

"Yes, it is Persephone. She has communicated with us before. It is best to wait for your Tree of Life seed to grow into a Tree of Life before using your Tree of Life to absorb this seed, because Your tree of life has been strengthened by Persephone, and Persephone herself is the guild god of your guild. You have such a good relationship with her, and she knows how to catalyze the tree of life. Therefore, if the seeds are absorbed by your Tree of Life, the second batch of seeds can be produced very quickly. But if our Tree of Life absorbs the seeds, at the growth rate of our Tree of Life, you will not be able to bear fruit at all. I’m afraid there’s no need to expect to get copies of those seeds.”

"I forgot about this."

The Elf Chief continued: "Actually, it's not just a matter of speed. Your Tree of Life has been specially warmed and raised by Persephone, which means it is better innately. The Tree of Life that grows later will definitely be a very powerful life. The Tree of Life. According to our research, the success rate of the Tree of Life in absorbing special seeds and obtaining their genes seems to be directly related to the strength of the Tree of Life itself. All those powerful new generation Trees of Life absorb seeds, The success rate of absorbing seeds will be much higher than those of the Tree of Life that is about to lose its vitality. Your Tree of Life is taken care of by the goddess of spring and has been warmed in advance. It will definitely be more successful than our Tree of Life in the future. many.

If you want to wait for our seed clones, then our own Tree of Life must successfully absorb this gene before it can be transferred to you to produce the corresponding seeds. But if your tree of life absorbs seeds. We will be able to obtain more types of seeds. As long as your Tree of Life successfully absorbs the seeds, we will be able to continuously obtain seeds from you so that our Tree of Life can also possess that seed gene. Although the success rate of the Tree of Life's seed absorption is not high, it is based on the premise that there are not many samples. If there are many seeds with the same ability, then our Tree of Life will definitely be able to successfully absorb this seed. After all, the failure rate is only two-thirds, according to this ratio. As long as there are three seeds of the same type, success is basically guaranteed. Even if we are a bit unlucky, we will continue to fail after absorbing three in a row. Then we can also ask you to produce the fifth and sixth special seeds for our Tree of Life to continue to absorb until success. "

I have to say that the Elf Chief's calculations were very accurate. Although this arrangement allowed us to obtain these special seeds before they did, from a practical perspective, it would increase the total number of seeds obtained by Elf City. The leader of the Elf Clan made this calculation very clear, so she had no resistance at all to this matter, but was very happy to see it come to fruition.

"Okay, in that case, you're welcome. These seeds will be absorbed by our Tree of Life first. After our Tree of Life successfully acquires the ability to produce those special seeds, we can produce special seeds for you to absorb."

"That's right. That's what I meant."

"Then let's deal with the problem of the elven city of our Frost Rose Alliance first?"

The elf leader agreed without hesitation. After asking Avis, this guy is very dizzy now, and he will not need his help in the future, so the elf leader asked him to rest here first, and then took a large group of his men and left the elf city with me. We selected the location of the new city for the building.

Regarding the location of the new city, we plan to move in the direction of the river according to our previous plan. Then the Tree of Life was built directly above the underground river to consolidate the river channel to prevent the excavation of the river from washing away all the soil near the river channel to form an underground cavity. As for the village that deliberately caused trouble with us, I have already told the Elf Clan Chief and the others about this matter, but the Elf Clan Chief and the others don’t pay much attention to this matter. After all, the Elf Clan has always been a tribe that produces snipers and killers, so the harassment The elves are not afraid of tactics or anything like that. To put it bluntly, they are not afraid of offending anyone at all.

"President. Are you back?" When we arrived here, there was actually a group of people already active around the construction site. Of course these people are the survey team of our guild. Their main job is to examine the nearby terrain and environment and assess the value of urban construction possibilities. If it is determined that the cost of urban construction and maintenance is higher than the possible profit budget, we will directly abandon the construction plan, even if the land has been acquired.

I nodded to the player leading the team, and then asked, "Why are there only a few of you? Didn't Persephone come?"

The member nodded and said: "Persephone is already here, but not here. She is near the small waterfall over there. Kristina and President Red Moon are also over there."

"Red Moon is here too?"

"Yeah, I arrived early in the morning."

I nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Well, make a copy of the terrain information and other things you mapped here and give it to these elven allies."

"Okay, we'll do it right away."

After taking pictures of what happened here, we took the team to Hongyue and the others, and found that there were really a lot of people here. Not only were Persephone and Hongyue here, but also Kristina and Zhen Red, gold coins and roses are all here. It can be said that more than half of the main leadership team of the guild are here.

"Holy shit, why are you all here?"

"Eh? Are you back?" Hongyue came over and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to terminate the city construction plan? Why? You have to give us an explanation, right?"

"You didn't give them an explanation?" I asked, looking at Rose.

Rose smiled and shook her head: "Only in this way can they act more realistically. If they don't show any anxious expressions about such a big thing, wouldn't it be too fake?"

"That's right." After I finished speaking, I simply explained my entire plan to everyone present. Anyway, the plan was about to start now, so there was no need to leak the secrets or anything.

After understanding my intentions, Hongyue and the others were extremely satisfied with my plan. Building a city in the name of the elves is a plan that can circumvent many of the troubles we may encounter during our own construction. In this way, many of the original troubles in our construction work will no longer be troubles.

While I was explaining my intentions to Hongyue and the others, the Elf Chief was not idle either. She is directing the team that came with her to check the nearby terrain and start preparing some special things. It seems that she is also a resolute person, and her work efficiency is no less than us.

After everyone's plans are clear, the construction work will officially begin. On the morning of local time, we announced to the public that due to many factors, our guild's urban construction plan in that virgin forest was forced to stop, and we had given up our construction plan for the area.

After this news is released. All local forces are obviously very excited, although they don't say it. In fact, they all look at our matter with a kind of schadenfreude mentality.

After releasing such information early in the morning, our guild's exploration team and the team cleaning up monsters and hostile forces withdrew from the tropical rainforest at noon. After all, the news in the morning was just news, and the evacuation of these personnel was what really caused a sensation. At the same time, taking advantage of this period of relatively high attention, Rose decisively released a planned loss report. This report clearly states what preliminary work we have done and how much money we have invested, and then explains that with the termination of urban construction, these investment funds disappeared in an instant.

Just that night, the news was still making a big noise in South America. The elves have already quietly sent a large group of elves into the location we selected under the cover of night. At the same time, our guild also secretly dispatched more than twenty elf NPCs to this area to start building. Mentoring and supervisory staff are present.

These elven NPCs are not from this elven tribe. They are NPCs from our guild, and they are all employed and have strong technical strength. Their main job is to guide construction. Although the elves will be responsible for building this city, it is built for us after all, so the design and everything else must be carried out in accordance with our intentions. but. If the people in our guild are openly helping to build the city here, then many people will definitely guess that we may have reached some kind of agreement with the elves.

In order to prevent others from discovering that the elves are actually building cities for us, we sent out a group of elven NPCs from the construction department of our guild. Although these elf NPCs are all members of our guild, they are also elves after all. If a small group of elves are mixed with a large group of elves, it is impossible for ordinary people to notice the difference between them. In fact, they are different except for their organization. In fact, there is no difference. After all, there are elves on both sides.

Under the guidance of this team, the elves started working overnight and quickly completed the final finishing work in the construction area that we had roughly dealt with. And the next morning, many players appeared in this area. nearby.

These people are actually people from outside guilds that compete with our guild. They come here for two purposes. One is to see if what we said about abandoning this building plan is true, if building work here has really come to a halt. Only then can we show that we are really planning to give up the construction work.

In addition to verifying with our own eyes whether we really gave up, these people came here with another plan - to take over this land.

Everyone can see the benefits and benefits of building a large city in a tropical rainforest. The main reason why no one has taken action so far is the mutual restraint of all parties and the astronomical upfront investment, as well as the various obstacles in the damn rainforest environment.

Although we say we have given up construction now, others know what we have done during this period. Although we haven't started building the city yet, the preliminary work is basically completed. This is like building a residential community in the city. A previous developer has moved away all the residents, demolished all the old houses, leveled the ground, and even laid half of the foundation. Then the developer suddenly quit and abandoned the land. Do you think any other developer wouldn't want a land like this?

There is no huge capital investment in relocating the original residents, and the geological survey and preliminary work have been completed. Subsequent developers can immediately build buildings on it as long as they buy the development rights from the government. This is no different from picking up the property for free. Why don't you want to take advantage of such a huge advantage?

The city address we selected now looks like this. We have wiped out the surrounding monsters and taken away the NPC forces. Except for the player village and the river, there are almost no obstacles here. If we continue to build a city here, the investment will be saved by more than half. Who wouldn't want to get involved in such a good thing? Therefore, these people figured it all out after just one night. Before the day was fully lighted, they gathered like sharks that smelled blood and were ready to fight for it.

But... when these people arrived, they were all dumbfounded. The regular elven army all over the mountains and plains had completely blocked the place. Everyone suddenly realized one thing, that is - they were late. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
