Chapter 125 The Monarch Monster in the Giant Volcano (4K)

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that it was a light tank.

【Item Name: Grizzly Light Tank】

Item Level: 3

【附带效果：1.所受炮弹伤害减少35% 2.速度+15% 3.伤害+10%】

[Weapons Loaded:]

105mm rifled gun (equipped with armor-piercing and high-explosive shells)

7.62mm machine gun

35mm grenade launcher

Overall, the bonus effects and weapons mounted on this Tier 3 vehicle are quite good.

Its price is 120000 crystal coins.

Li Ye felt that the price was a bit too high. On land, tanks are not as agile as infantry fighting vehicles, and there was only one of them.

Now, he feels that the gunship he bought for 17 crystal coins was quite worthwhile.

The seller who changed the price on a whim probably felt that they had lowered the price and lost money.

Like the Vanguard Gunship, the Grizzly Light Tank requires Tier 2 Iron Ore and Tier 2 Fuel to replenish its ammunition and shells.

These Tier 3 vehicles are powerful, but maintaining them is quite expensive.

Liye began searching for blueprints for Tier 2 vehicles.

He quickly settled on a design drawing.

[Tier 2 Vehicle - Desert Shield Infantry Fighting Vehicle Design Blueprints]

【Item Name: Desert Shield Infantry Fighting Vehicle】

Item Level: 2

[Additional effect: Reduces damage from level 2 weapons, shells, and bullets by 40%]

[Crafting Costs: 200 units of iron ore (Level 2), 50 units of precision vehicle parts (Level 2)]

This infantry fighting vehicle is armed with a 7.62mm machine gun.

"It's far inferior to the Storm Fighting Vehicle!" Li Ye exclaimed in surprise.

It's important to know that the Storm infantry fighting vehicle is equipped with three weapons: the Stinger cannon, the Sidewinder light machine gun, and light missiles. In addition, it also has self-repair and amphibious capabilities.

Looking back now, it was definitely worth all the hard work to get the Storm Fighting Vehicle.

The blueprints for the Desert Shield infantry fighting vehicle cost 6000 crystals, which is quite affordable overall.

However, this makes the performance of the Rock Off-Road Vehicle originally purchased in the Eternal Night District inferior – in fact, since the Eternal Night District, not a single Rock Off-Road Vehicle has been manufactured in the Wilderness.

Li Ye then purchased Tier 2 upgrade blueprints from the auction house, specified the Gale Rocket Launcher in the production workshop, and upgraded it.

升级到2级以后，狂风火箭筒对建筑载具的伤害从10%提升到了20%，范围加成也从原来的100米提升到了200米。

According to Li Ye's plan, the Tomorrow's future fleet will consist of a mix of Tier 2 off-road vehicles and Desert Shield infantry fighting vehicles.

The Desert Shield infantry fighting vehicle will also carry combat personnel equipped with two-stage rocket launchers to enhance its firepower.

Next comes the naval combat forces.

In fact, according to Li Ye's own plan, he intended to skip class, bypass the level 2 water vehicles, and directly collect the blueprints for level 3 water vehicles.

After all, according to his estimates, Tomorrow will be on land for a long time to come, and it should be upgraded to level 3 by the time it sets sail.

However, the auction house did not sell blueprints for Level 3 water vehicles.

Surprisingly, the auction house did have a light submarine for sale.

【Item Name: German Type 206 Submarine】

Item Level: 3

【附带效果：1.水下行驶速度+20% 2.对舰伤害+15% 3.航行噪音减少70%】

The submarine is equipped with triple torpedo tubes.

Its fixed price is 130000 crystal coins.

“Uh, this.” Li Ye scratched his head.

To be fair, in Tier 2 waters, these Tier 3 submarines could basically dominate the area. After all, Tier 2 mobile cities have virtually no concept of anti-submarine warfare, and they don't have any anti-submarine ships or helicopters at all.

Its cost-effectiveness is a matter of opinion.

Li Ye then began searching for the design blueprints for a Level 2 water vehicle.

This time, several pages of design drawings appeared at the auction house.

Li Ye quickly identified a design drawing.

[Tier 2 Vehicle - Swordfish Mini-Submarine Design Blueprints]

【Item Name: Swordfish Mini Submarine】

Item Level: 2

[Additional effect: Underwater travel speed +15%]

[Crafting Requirements: 100 units of Iron Ore (Level 2), 50 units of Precision Watercraft Parts (Level 2)]

[Weapons equipped: Small torpedo tubes]

"I didn't expect to find design blueprints for a Class 2 submarine," he thought to himself.

However, the Swordfish mini-submarine can only accommodate one person, and its torpedoes have limited power.

If you want to damage a target, you'll probably have to attack in groups.

The design blueprint was priced at 10000 crystal coins, and Li Ye acquired it.

During this period, Tomorrow continuously loaded the Engineer with Level 2 fuel and newly extracted oil.

The continuous influx of crystal coins gave people the illusion that there was never enough money to spend.

In fact, this was probably the most enjoyable time since Li Ye crossed over; money seemed to flow in endlessly, and he could spend it however he wanted.

"I've bought almost everything I needed to." He breathed a sigh of relief. "The next batch of crystal coins will be used to purchase level 2 iron ore."

Just then, Lin Wu wheeled in.

"Did you forget to search for something?" he asked.

"What?" Li Ye asked in surprise.

After thinking about it carefully for a while, he asked in confusion.

"Really? I've thought of almost everything I need to buy."

Lin Wu shook his head, reminding Li Ye.

Level 2 urban structure blueprint.

Level 2 city crystal.

“You’re right!” Li Ye nodded.

However, neither of these items were sold at the auction house.

Li Ye was not surprised by this.

After all, all twenty regions in the Western Wilderness Continent are level 1 or 2, which means that the vast majority of mobile cities here are level 2.

The resources needed for promotion to level 3 are of utmost importance, and no one would be willing to sell them.

As for Tier 2 city crystals, needless to say.

A new day has begun.

After quickly getting dressed and washing up, Li Ye arrived at the public dining hall.

The food in public canteens has improved a lot now, and they even offer breakfast.

The notice board hanging at the entrance will list the food available each day in detail.

Li Ye glanced at the notice board.

[Today's Supply]

[Breakfast: Steamed buns, vegetable buns, twisted rolls, eggs, boiled corn]

[Lunch: Hot and sour shredded potatoes, tomato and egg drop soup, boiled fish, stir-fried pork with chili peppers, rice, kiwi orange, cola]

Dinner: Noodles, steamed corn bread, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, orange juice, and sun-dried apples.

At this very moment, the residents of Tomorrow are queuing up. They take turns buying food at the window, deducting the corresponding contribution points by swiping their resident cards. Many people rub their hands together excitedly as they look at the stir-fried pork with chili peppers and boiled fish on the notice board.

"They even have meat dishes today!"

Currently, the supply of vegetables and fruits on Tomorrow Ship is adequate, while chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, and cattle are still breeding.

Meat dishes are basically served only one day a week.

Upon seeing their lord approach, the canteen staff immediately prepared a breakfast and handed it to him.

Half a boiled corn cob, two eggs, two vegetable buns, and one steamed bun.

Only the lord of Liye could afford to eat so well. Ordinary residents usually bought two steamed buns or two flower rolls, and those who were slightly better off could add a boiled corn and an egg.

Many people in the cafeteria recognized Li Ye and greeted him.

Li Ye nodded to everyone, then carried the breakfast to a private room on the second floor.

This was a place he instructed the public canteen to set up specifically for his own meals.

The private room is quite spacious, with a large round table and rows of chairs, enough to seat 20 people at the same time.

Li Ye specifically requested that the private room be nicely decorated so that he would feel comfortable while eating.

"Perhaps I could put some potted plants or a few paintings in the private room to decorate it," he thought.

After finishing his meal, Li Ye hurriedly headed to the driver's seat.

As soon as he sat down, he quickly logged into the auction house in the Western Wilderness Continent.

"Shouldn't there be some new Tier 3 items available by now that night?"

With anticipation in his heart, he set up the three-level tags and clicked OK.

This time, new level 3 items did indeed appear in the auction house.

【Item Name: "Wasteland Ghost" Camouflage Combat Suit】

Item Level: 3

【附带效果：1.使穿戴者融入周围的环境之中，并能在移动时维持伪装。2.太阳能供能 3.使来自于3级及3级以下的怪物、武器伤害减少50%】

"This is really good stuff," Li Ye exclaimed.

Dynamic camouflage, solar power that allows for continuous operation in the wild, and high level of defense.

With these Tier 3 items, your survival ability in the wild will be significantly improved.

So far, not a single level 3 item has been bad.

Li Ye also discovered that level 3 items basically all have 3 stats.

This level 3 item is not cheap; its price is 150000 crystals.

Its target audience is naturally lone wolves in the wild and bounty hunters.

Considering that there are still a large number of oil and Tier 2 fuels that have been put on the market but have not been sold, and that there are not many crystals left in his account, Li Ye decided to leave the auction house temporarily and do other things.

He went up to the deck and flew the goblin helicopter to Nature L3.

This was naturally in order to glean more intelligence from this mobile city of the Titan Throne.

"You're here again!"

When Liye arrived at the Nature L3 deck, Nils excitedly rubbed his hands together and ran over.

"I have some good news for you!"

"Hmm?" Li Ye immediately perked up. "Have you tracked down another new world boss?"

Niels shook his head.

"This is much better! We've found where that Emperor Monster is hiding!"

Li Ye was stunned upon hearing this.

"Really? Where?"

Niels then waved his hand.

"It's there!"

Following his gaze, Li Ye saw a giant volcano.

This giant volcano is four to five thousand meters high, and its crater is more than ten kilometers in diameter.

Located in the center of a sedimentary basin, it is so large that no one can ignore its presence.

Upon initially arriving at the sedimentary basin, Liye discovered this giant volcano.

At the time, he was relatively at ease because it was an extinct volcano.

Its mountain is covered with dark brown ash and low shrubs, with steep, exposed rock walls at the edges. Traces of ancient lava flows can be faintly seen on the sides of the mountain, and there are even many weathered volcanic ash heaps.

There are even hot springs at the foot of this extinct volcano, with water temperatures of around 35-40 degrees Celsius.

"Are you sure that imperial monster is inside the giant volcano?" he asked Nils.

“Yes, absolutely right.” Niels nodded excitedly. “I also have some good news for you! According to our instruments, the heartbeat of this imperial monster inside the giant volcano is getting stronger and stronger, which means it will end its long hibernation and awaken!”

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" he exclaimed excitedly, shaking Li Ye's shoulders. "We'll get to witness the majestic form of a royal monster!"

Li Ye's lips twitched involuntarily.

What kind of good news is this? You know, the Tomorrow Alliance still needs to drill for oil here.

"Can you determine exactly how long it will take for it to wake up?" he asked.

Niels rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"According to Professor Anne's calculations, it should be within the next day or two!"

"."

Li Ye immediately flew back in his goblin helicopter and brought the news to everyone.

So the Engineer began rapidly extracting oil.

Tomorrow and a host of mobile cities also came to help.

During this period, the Engineer's oil exploration vehicle discovered a giant oil field and a large natural gas field.

Natural gas is a pretty good resource in the wild. It can also be used as an energy fuel in cities, and it produces almost no pollutants when burned.

It has a wide range of uses, not only for home heating, hot water supply and gas, but also for industrial power generation.

The Engineer then built several natural gas tanks, continuously pumping natural gas into them and having helicopters transport it for sale.

Li Ye observed the price of natural gas at the auction house.

11 crystals per unit, that's not bad.

Over the next two days, Tomorrow Alliance extracted oil and gas at an unprecedented pace.

As a new day dawned, Li Ye did a quick accounting.

After deducting the 10 crystals given to the Engineer, the 67000 crystals from the bid for the city resource teleportation device, and the oil share for the four mobile cities, he still had more than 16 crystals on hand.

The shelves also contained over 30000 units of Level 2 fuel, oil, and natural gas.

Currently, the oil fields in the sedimentary basins have been basically all exploited.

The Engineer began to recover the oil wells it had built in the sedimentary basin one by one, dismantling them and putting them into the furnace to be smelted back into iron ore.

Li Ye continued operating the auction house.

He bought 4000 units of level 2 iron ore and 500 units of copper ore in one go for 35 crystal coins.

首先要打造的就是沙漠盾步战车，该2级载具打造需要消耗200单位2级铁矿，50单位2级精密载具配件。

The precision vehicle components are synthesized from 1 unit of level 2 iron ore and 1 unit of copper ore.

The Desert Shield infantry fighting vehicles that were created will then be integrated into the first and second vehicle convoys.

Following that, Li Ye built three more Black Hawk helicopters and spent 1000 units of Tier 2 iron ore to replenish the Vanguard Armed Gunship with combat resources.

The remaining iron ore will be used to craft the upgraded Gale Rocket Launcher.

After finishing all this, Li Ye nodded in satisfaction.

Riding the wave of the oil field and the West Wilderness Auction House, Tomorrow's armed forces have been upgraded to a higher level.

Currently, it has a total of 7 Tier 2 cannons on its deck, and its land armament consists of a mixed convoy of Desert Shield infantry fighting vehicles, Storm infantry fighting vehicles, and Tier 1 off-road vehicles, equipped with Tier 2 heavy machine guns and Tier 2 rocket launchers.

Its air power consists of six Black Hawk helicopters and one Vanguard gunship.

In addition, it has acquired a new city resource teleportation device and a level 3 city camouflage upgrade blueprint.
