Xu Sili was preparing to go to the City of the Braves to take a look when he received news that the fixed-point teleporter had been successfully produced.
After this period of hard work and the great success of the elemental cannon, the problem of flying interstellar beasts that had plagued players for a long time had finally been solved.
There were still small waves occasionally, but they no longer had much impact.
Players finally had the energy to invest in building their own houses. Xu Sili heard from his second brother that the building materials-related products in the system mall were selling like hot cakes.
This was also related to the fact that the game team had launched many new features.
For example, floors could be divided into hundreds of different styles based on patterns and materials. After purchasing and using them, players could also spend a certain amount of money to recycle the old floors into the building package and replace them with new floors.
If they didn’t like the new floors, they could replace it with the old one.
A certain recycling fee was required but the price wasn’t expensive. It could be said to be very attractive to players with a collecting habit.
Players with difficulty making decisions would find it even harder to refuse. Just install it first and buy it again if they didn’t like it.
These were all newly released by the game group themselves.
After Xu Yuheng proposed this concept, he didn’t pay much attention to it. Unexpectedly, the thing Old Wang said about providing higher-quality services to players was actually implemented very well.
Such high-quality services had indeed created huge profits.
In the past two months, nearly 400,000 new players had entered the game.
It was supposed to be 500,000, but some players seemed to have listened to the advice of the forum and were waiting for the land of the sea elves to be completed before joining, hoping to be born as a sea elf.
Xu Sili continued to use the contribution list from the previous beast wave. Once a player’s contribution exceeded a certain amount, they could exchange it for land within the territory of the City of the Braves, with no limit on the amount.
Naturally, land was freely tradable.
In this way, the players’ enthusiasm for daily missions was ignited again. In addition, the contribution obtained from clearing monsters was the highest, so the speed of clearing the interstellar beasts was increasing every day.
Since the previous beast wave had already cleared out most of the interstellar beasts, the land that had been recovered now wasn’t far from Roland’s original border line.
In addition to the City of the Braves for the players, Xu Sili was also considering building a sixth main city.
The current population density of the five main cities was too high and they could be divided into several more cities.
These were real cities, not a main city that was equivalent to a province in reality.
But these things could be done slowly. After receiving the news from Dr Ding, Xu Sili gave up his original plan and changed directions with Si Sheng to go to the research institute.
The legend of Roland’s secret research institute had spread among players.
It was an accident.
Originally, Xiao Wu’s military factory was next door and the research institute was very safe. The probability of players breaking through was almost zero.
Since they had been here before, many players sneaked in to see if they could trigger a mission. Such a special scene undoubtedly had an extraordinary appeal to the players.
It was a pity that every player who came to explore the secret was ruthlessly killed by Xiao Wu.
He knew that players could be resurrected and were immortal, so he attacked without mercy.
The players fought again and again, but failed to break through the defense line. Finally, they gave up and decided to try again when they were of a higher level.
Originally, this matter would’ve passed like this. However, the construction of the underground laboratory required an elementalist construction team. This caused the chief engineer Chi Yu to absorb several players into his team.
These players were all big names in infrastructure games. Some were even famous architects in real life. It was completely reasonable and legal for them to enter the institute as team members.
As a result, some scenes of the research institute were secretly filmed by them and circulated.
Among them, the most widely circulated video was the video of the mecha that Dr Ding was developing. Players were speculating that this should be prepared for the next expansion pack.
This secret research institute would definitely be the protagonist of the next expansion pack. The contribution points being circulated now might not only be exchanged for land, but also for mechas in the future!
After hearing his second brother’s inquiry, Xu Sili had to say that the players had a very rich imagination!
If the mecha development was based on a 100% progress, it was estimated that less than 1% was completed now. This was what Dr Ding personally told him.
Moreover, mechas were different from land after all. Land was free for him. Players could help develop it after land was distributed to them. Meanwhile, mechas were real money-eating beasts.
Exchange contribution for mechas? Don’t even think about it.
It was too early to think about these things, so Xu Sili ignored them for the time being. After arriving at the research institute, he was taken to the underground laboratory by Dr Ding.
The fixed-pointed teleporter was around three meters high with a metallic appearance and a very technological feel.
Xu Sili glanced at it with his spiritual power and found that the instrument wasn’t hollow. This meant that the teleported items obviously weren’t teleported inside.
Dr Ding said, “Your Majesty, the short-range, fixed-point teleportation test has been completed. The test results are very good, very perfect.”
Then he started to demonstrate for Xu Sili.
The large screen on the wall lit up and five figures appeared on it, divided into five small screens. They were all elementalists guards stationed at the research institute and now they were caught by Dr Ding for experiments.
“They are in Glass Sea City, Orchid Moon City, Seizing Star City, Twilight Frost City and places near the border of Roland’s plains. I have recorded their coordinates.”
Xu Sili listened to his explanation and nodded. Then he saw Dr Ding operating the instrument personally. He asked someone to place a box in front of the instrument and started operating the panel.
As the energy accumulated, a silver-white light appeared at the tip of the front of the teleporter. Finally, it shot out and hit the box.
The box was completely enveloped in a silver light.
The light disappeared and the box was gone from its original place. Xu Sili couldn’t help looking at the big screen.
In the scene of Glass Sea City, a spot of light appeared around two meters above the ground.
The light spot slowly enlarged and became a circle of light with a diameter of around one meter. After the circle of light disappeared, a box with the logo of the research institute appeared and fell down. It was quickly caught by the guard.
Xu Sili couldn’t help nodding.
This was similar to when the Interstellar Alliance delivered packages to Roland, but it wasn’t as precise and could only be delivered within a general range.
Then Dr Ding did the same thing again. All five boxes were dropped off at the designated location and retrieved by the guards.
“After many verifications, it has been found that there is no problem with the short-distance teleportation. The closer the distance, the more accurate the teleportation.”
Dr Ding continued, “As for interplanetary teleportation, it hasn’t been carried out yet due to limited conditions…”
Xu Sili said, “This is very simple.”
Then he called out to Xiao Wu and discussed a few things with him.
On the distant planet of Sigta, five small civilian spaceships were patrolling in the sky. The people of Sigta felt reassured every time they saw the spaceships.
Sometimes, they felt complicated when they saw the emblem of the Roland Empire on the spaceships.
Roland and Sigta had a deep connection. If it wasn’t for Roland’s Princess Val, they wouldn’t have been able to control their current wealth. In other words, they wouldn’t have been able to discover this method of making money decades ago.
However, due to Roland’s difficult situation, they couldn’t help but despise this ally.
As a result, a series of reversals followed and slapped them a few times.
Now, due to their wealth, they had attracted the star thieves and were unable to protect themselves. In the end, they had to rely on Roland, whom they despised, for protection.
Even though they knew that their nation had paid high rental fees, but they still felt bad.
The one who felt the most uncomfortable was probably Prince Sigta.
The mecha team he worked so hard to train was completely wiped out while Roland, whom he once despised, possessed a military strength that almost crushed them. They even had the spare capacity to send five spaceships to be rented.
He had complained about these five small spaceships when they first arrived. Then after the star thieves came, these five little guys slapped him in the face again.
Now facing the Roland Empire, he no longer dared to speculate with common sense.
Prince Sigta couldn’t help being nervous when he saw that one of the small spaceships had suddenly deviated from its patrol route and was heading towards outer space.
Could it be that the star thieves were here again?
He hurriedly contacted Roland’s liaison officer stationed with them.
A curtain of light appeared, and a five year old boy appeared in front of Prince Sigta.
The child had silver hair and purple eyes. He had exactly the same features as the Roland imperial family. His facial features were delicate and cute, and he looked like a doll.
It was said that His Highness Xiao Wu used the most advanced star network technology to achieve the ability to remotely control the spaceships.
Prince Sigta was originally quite dissatisfied with Roland for sending someone like this to be the commander-in-chief of the spaceships. Then after experiencing the last battle, he was full of admiration for this little kid.
Roland didn’t station any personnel here. The spaceship that transported the food went back after delivering it to them. There were no living people on these five small spaceships. They were all remotely controlled by the young prince.”
“Your Highness Xiao Wu,” Prince Sigta looked at the little boy and called out respectfully.
“Yes.” Xiao Wu nodded. “Are you finding me for something?”
Prince Sigta asked about the spaceship that had deviated from its orbit.
“Oh, I found something suspicious so I went to check it out. Is there any problem?”
Xiao Wu was now becoming more and more like a human being. Even lying came easily to him.
“No, no.” Prince Sigta hurriedly shook his head. “Excuse me, is it related to the star thieves?”
“I won’t know until I check it out.”
Xiao Wu looked at him strangely, as if he had asked a very stupid question.
Prince Sigta choked up and didn’t know what to say.
As they were talking, Xiao Wu had already driven the spaceship to a small planet near Sigta Star and sent the coordinates to the research institute.
As a result, the institute successfully carried out the long-distance teleportation experiment.
Xu Sili saw this and nodded with satisfaction. “Then let’s do it without any further delay.”
He immediately contacted Xu Fengqing, who happened to be online. Xu Fengqing came over and Xu Sili told him the plan.
“Are you going to assassinate the leader of the Bewatt Empire?” Xu Fengqing looked at his younger brother. He pondered on it for a moment before finally agreeing.
It was time to get revenge for Xenos!
“So, what can I do?”
Xu Sili explained, “Brother, I will turn you and Si Sheng into cards and use the fixed-point teleporter to teleport you to Bewatt Star.”
The fixed-point teleporter could only teleport inanimate objects. If he wanted to teleport players, just let them commit suicide and teleport their bodies over. It was simple and convenient.
“And then?” Xu Fengqing asked.
“Then, you find a safe place to hide. Once Si Sheng kills Arnauton, he will come to find you.” Xu Sili paused slightly after saying this.
Xu Fengqing frowned. “Then?”
“Then Si Sheng will be turned into a card. Be sure to bring him back.”
Xu Sili’s gaze was a bit evasive. He obviously felt a bit guilty.
Xu Fengqing frowned even more.
He looked at his brother, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “So how do I bring him back?”
Xu Sili looked up at the sky and the ground, not daring to look at his brother. “It is… just like that…”
“How?”
“It is the method that the braves can do…”
He knew that his older brother had already bound his resurrection point to Imperial City, so…
He raised his eyes and looked at his oldest brother pitifully.
Xu Fengqing, “……”
