Chapter 70 p1
◎ Territorial Sea Merge ◎
【Mushroom Hut】: The twins have agreed to join.
Yu Chi saw this message when she woke up in the morning, a little surprised.
She had left the matter of the alliance members entirely to An Jin, but in fact, she hadn’t paid much attention to it. After all, a few days ago, Li Feng had suddenly come to her, saying that he had met a member of his former gang and asked if he could join her alliance.
Of course, Yu Chi had agreed with both hands and feet, so she had paid even less attention to An Jin’s side of things. She hadn’t expected the twins to join them.
However, the twin sisters were very strong. It was a good thing for the alliance to have more such members.
【DazedFish】: Do I need to meet them?
【Mushroom No. 1】: Either way is fine.
【Mushroom No. 1】: Don’t worry too much. They joined because they heard about the freedom of our alliance.
Yu Chi replied with an “OK.” For a hidden social phobic, this was for the best.
After washing up, she sat at the dining table.
Today’s breakfast was milk and sandwiches. Yu Chi squinted her eyes comfortably and raised her milk cup for this happy day.
Perhaps compared to a real person, the food made by a robot lacked that bit of soul, but when it came to discussing soul, it was already extremely delicious.
Yu Chi didn’t care about these things. She only knew that if she hadn’t bought a robot, she would have had to make breakfast herself after waking up and washing up.
After enjoying her breakfast, she opened the alliance interface and added a benefit—【All members of the alliance will enjoy a discount at the Dazed brand shops based on their contribution.】
After all, she was the alliance leader, and also the owner of the Dazed brand. Of course, the benefits had to be given to her own people first.
As soon as this contribution was added, Zuo He came to knock on her chat box.
【MortalRealmLittleFairyGrass】: What is contribution?
【DazedFish】: I don’t know.
【MortalRealmLittleFairyGrass】: ?
【DazedFish】: When there’s an alliance war in the future, there will be contribution points. For now, it’s a uniform 20% discount!
The other party replied with a period, looking a little speechless. Yu Chi didn’t care and decisively entrusted this matter to An Jin, asking him to explain the situation in the alliance group.
After An Jin agreed, the messages in the alliance group quickly rang non-stop. Yu Chi glanced at it and blocked it with a clear conscience.
Hmm? You say the alliance leader can’t block the group chat?
Schrödinger’s alliance leader, those who know, know.
After dealing with the alliance matters, Yu Chi walked into the training room and began to exercise. She had a hunch that today, her saber technique level could be raised to the advanced stage.
Yu Chi held the long saber and stood in the center of the training room. She took a deep breath, slowly closed her eyes, and felt the energy flowing in her body resonate with the saber.
The blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound. Her movements became faster and faster, and the saber light moved in the air like a silver snake. Every slash was precise and sharp.
The time had long passed the stipulated 3 hours. Yu Chi was immersed in a strange state and could not sense what was happening outside at all.
With the last slash, the blade suddenly stopped. Yu Chi’s breathing was slightly rapid, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
“Success!” Her eyes suddenly opened.
【Congratulations! Saber technique level has been raised to “Advanced”!】
【Current saber technique level: Advanced (1%)】
【New characteristic unlocked: Saber Qi Release】
From the very beginning, from basic to elementary and intermediate, each stage would unlock a characteristic. They were [Precise Slash] and [Continuous Slash] respectively. The former could slightly increase the accuracy, while the latter could swing two slashes in a short time.
Yu Chi couldn’t wait to try her new ability. She flipped her wrist, and the blade slashed diagonally. A colorless saber qi instantly burst out, leaving a deep mark on the wall of the training room.
“This power…” Her eyes lit up, and she swung a few more times. Three saber qi flew out in a fan shape, neatly cutting the combat puppet in the distance into four pieces.
This reminded her of the fighting scenes in some martial arts novels, what with the saber qi externalizing and so on… She trained in the training room for a while more. After she had mastered the newly obtained characteristic, she sheathed her saber and walked out of the combat simulation training room.
It was almost noon now. Yu Chi was covered in sweat. She went to the bathroom to take a shower. When she came out, the dining table was already full of fragrant lunch.
She was indeed a little hungry. She touched her stomach.
Today’s lunch was braised fish, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a bowl of delicious mushroom soup. As soon as Yu Chi sat down, Little Chef thoughtfully handed her a glass of iced lemonade.
On the sea, it was often impossible to do without fish, but the robot could make all kinds of fish in different ways, which made her aversion to fish much less.
Yu Chi praised Little Chef over and over again. It was not until she saw a shy expression on its display screen that she stopped with some reluctance.
Actually, it’s not bad to live with a robot. She would occasionally think so.
After eating, Yu Chi opened the system panel to check today’s resource collection situation. The two resource mining robots were very efficient and had already collected all the materials in the entire territorial sea. The warehouse was full of all kinds of spirit plants, ores, and rare materials.
“Hmm? What is this?” She noticed that there was a crystal emitting a faint purple light in the corner of the warehouse.
【Item: Space Crystal
Grade: Rare
Description: The energy overflowing from a spatial rift has condensed. Can be used to strengthen space-type skills or items.】
“It’s actually a space crystal,” Yu Chi carefully observed the crystal in her hand. It was a pity that her space skill was of the legendary grade, so it was useless to her, but it should be very popular in the outside world.
She put away the space crystal. After all, there was only one. She didn’t plan to use it or sell it for the time being.
Just as Yu Chi was about to study magic as usual, a row of warnings suddenly popped up before her eyes.
【Player 2333 has initiated a territorial sea war against you. Please return to defend as soon as possible.】
The barrier on the southwest sea area was under attack. The treant and the silver wolf had already gone over. Yu Chi remembered her saber technique that had been raised to the advanced stage today and became a little interested.
After arriving at the southwest sea area, she found that the enemy’s barrier was about to be broken by her two little guys. The treant was rooted in the sea, and the silver wolf was standing on it, cooperating with great tacit understanding.
The opponent was a delicate-looking female player. She was currently in a battle-damaged state. She had clearly not expected to be fighting a silver wolf and a tree, so her expression was a little dazed.
In addition, the other creatures with attack capabilities in the territorial sea also began to ram into the other side’s territorial sea.
Yu Chi flew in the air, a little hesitant for a moment about whether she should still attack. After all, the opponent’s strength looked very weak, and it seemed that she didn’t need to use her space skill and her saber technique.
This kind of situation would also happen occasionally. Her strength was not too high in the world ranking, after all, it was only in the top 100. But the Dazed brand shops were obviously rich, so there were many people who targeted her.
The silver wolf and the treant were already very proficient in dealing with it. Yu Chi watched in the air for a while, then silently flew back to the small boat.
The system’s prompt quickly popped up.
【Player 2333’s territorial sea war has ended—defense successful!】
Yu Chi stretched and jumped into the sea to look for the territorial sea core. She didn’t care what would happen to the female player. The system didn’t pop up a prompt, so she should still be alive.
Half an hour later, under the mermaid’s keen perception, she found the other party’s territorial sea core. It was hidden in a certain mountain wall. The other party had buried it very deep. If it weren’t for the mermaid’s characteristic, it would probably have taken a long time to find.
Yu Chi sat leisurely on the deck. The other side was also a level two territorial sea, with 23 square kilometers. After she had taken it down, plus the players who had come to challenge her during this time, her current territorial sea was already 110 square kilometers.
Little Seven had already finished making all the potions needed by Yanhuang. After Yu Chi handed them over to the other party, she also got the corresponding ocean crystals.
Actually, she could already upgrade her territorial sea to level 3 now, but thinking of the contamination tide, Yu Chi still decided to put the upgrade on hold for the time being.
Compared to last time, her level had not improved much, but the terrifying degree of the contamination tide would definitely be doubled. It was better to be sure before she did it.
Yu Chi rubbed her temples.
As time went on, the time for the next round of natural disaster was getting closer and closer. Both Yu Chi and the players on the forum were obviously getting panicked.
The two months of leisure on the central island could not make them forget the pain of the first month. If this natural disaster was of the same difficulty as last time, there was naturally nothing to be afraid of.
But everyone felt that this was impossible, and the system would not allow such a thing to happen, which meant that the difficulty of the next genius would definitely be very terrifying.
There were still many people in this world who did not have a territorial sea. She didn’t know if the natural disasters they encountered would be the same. Only after having a territorial sea could one understand that kind of stable feeling.
With only a small boat, drifting in the boundless sea, and having to deal with the contaminated creatures and natural disasters at any time, it was really too terrifying.
Yu Chi opened the Dazed brand shop to check the situation. Recently, the most purchased in the shop was Yanhuang. They seemed to be hoarding supplies.
Just like the situation before a disaster, Yu Chi felt that Yanhuang should have a big plan.
However, she didn’t plan to ask her dad. Her dad’s current identity, if it were in the modern world, would be that of a government official. He would naturally not casually tell others his purpose.
The two of them were in frequent contact, but it was basically:
【DazedFish’s Dad】: Have you eaten?
【DazedFish】: I’ve eaten.
Or—
【DazedFish’s Dad】: Have you eaten?
【DazedFish】: No.
【DazedFish’s Dad】: This is not bad. Try it. [Teleports a portion of food]
This was also something that couldn’t be helped. Her dad was first himself, and then her dad. She herself would be so busy that she had no time to rest, let alone her dad, who was an important figure in Yanhuang.
