Since it was time to buy soldiers, Ai Lan simply spent a little more money and bought some more soldiers that he was more interested in.
Big Crab, Conch Guardian, Seal Striker, Coral Boy, Nudi Slug, Squid Spitter.
There are six types of arms in total, and their skills all look very interesting.
For example, giant crabs can eat carcasses to restore life.
The Conch Guardian's shell-shrinking defense and the Squid Spitter's ink spitting are both very interesting skills.
Of course Ai Lan prefers the natural type of troops, but Coral Boy's skill is camouflage, which is really not very powerful.
Moreover, this coral soldier is still a miscellaneous soldier and is not mass-produced.
"That's it. If you have any other specialties, you can sell them to me. I'm going back."
After getting his share, Ai Lan made it clear that he wanted to leave.
Others were very satisfied with his attitude.
No one likes to have a strong competitor on their territory.
There are quite a lot of specialties in the Deserted Islands.
In addition to various seafood products, there are also pirate spirits and pirate ships that are relatively famous in Huangyi Town.
The shipyard in Huangyi Town is of a very high level and can build medium-sized warships on its own.
In addition, the craftsmen in the shipyard are also a very important resource.
However, this is a goal that all forces are competing for, and Ai Lan does not want to waste time here.
Finally, he spent a lot of gold coins, bought a warehouse of spirits, and obtained some construction drawings of transport ships, small warships and fishing boats.
At this point, his spoils have been distributed, and everyone is happy.
Ai Lan took his army of tree men and left happily.
As soon as he left, the local natives immediately raised their spirits and began to quarrel and accuse fiercely.
"Ms. Fasten, urgent help!"
Ai Lan herself felt embarrassed for always causing trouble to Fastan.
But there was no way, there was only one high-level legal practitioner he could contact.
"What's the matter, little Ai Lan?"
A slightly lazy voice came from the magic ring.
Obviously, Fastan was resting just now.
"Madam, I have obtained a precious treasure. Can you help me cover up the prophecy spell?"
"Um?"
The person on the other side suddenly groaned for a while, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in his voice.
After a while, a blue light flashed and a drawing fell from it.
Dark Maze [Architectural Blueprint]: A level 4 dark-type building that can build a maze full of mysterious power under the city, disrupting all information in the city.
"One hundred thousand gold coins."
"so expensive."
Ai Lan bared his teeth, he was about to spend all the money he had just received.
"Bought."
Dark Maze [Dark Department Level 4 Building]
Construction requirements: 250 units of stone, 100 units of obsidian, 100 units of marble, and 10,000 gold coins.
The construction requirements for this thing are terrifyingly high.
This maze is obviously a special building, and Ai Lan naturally wants to build it with excellence.
But now he has no other materials in his warehouse except dragon blood crystal.
It’s not enough to fill in all the supplies we just got from Wasteland Town.
"If it mutates into the message of the Chaos Dragon, it will be a pain in the ass."
Although the effect of this specific type of ability will be very powerful, what is the use of this ability?
If all were built with dragon blood crystals, the possibility is really not small.
Ai Lan thought for a while and walked into the city lord's mansion with the heart of the city.
Now, it's time to take a good look at the heart of the city.
Level 2 City Heart [Ocean]: This is the city heart of a pirate city, which records many unique studies of pirate cities.
Ai Lan took the Heart of the City and came to the deepest energy pool in the City Lord's Mansion.
Because of the lessons learned in Huangyi Town, he has set the authority here to the highest level.
No one can enter except Arkiman and him.
"Yalkiman, the mangrove collar has swallowed it, can it be advanced to level 2?"
"Please put it into the energy pool. I need to test its energy."
"OK."
"Detection begins."
The blue heart of the city slowly fell into the energy pool.
Subsequently, Yarkman stopped the work of the institute, mobilized all computing resources, and began to analyze it.
Level 2 City Heart [Ocean]
After complete devouring, general energy can be obtained: 537w
Research results that can be obtained: shipyard, brewery, weapons factory, pirate training camp, fish farm, pirate tavern, area surveillance magic eye, micro magic net, teleportation array, water spell [1-3].
"Ten studies."
Not too much, but not too little either.
Because some research requires terrible time and energy consumption.
Such as micro magic net.
Micro Magic Network: With the mage tower as the core, a large number of magic nodes are deployed in the city, which can completely control the magic rules in a certain area.
This thing, simply put, is permission suppression.
Once the magic network authority is opened, I can cast spells, but you can't.
Moreover, the magic net's magic consumes the energy of the mage tower and does not need to consume its own mana.
Among so many studies, the micro magic network has the highest gold content, and the teleportation array is also a very advanced research.
The last water spells [1-3] refer to all water spells of levels 1-3 that have been studied.
This is also a good thing, it can save Ai Lan a lot of time and energy.
"But if I swallow this heart of the city, I won't be able to build a branch city."
"Arkiman, can you extract the universal energy inside?"
"Can."
"Absorb this heart of the city to level 0, and you can get 300,000 general energy."
"Only 300,000?"
"Yes."
Less is a bit less, but by doing this, Ai Lan can get a branch city.
Now he has two choices.
Either go all out to develop the mangrove territory, or open a branch city first.
If the value of the heart of the city itself were not too high, Ai Lan would definitely choose to upgrade the main city without hesitation.
But there is a very critical issue. Opening branch cities also requires resources.
He built the branch city next to the mangrove territory. How can it develop without land lines and resources?
Moreover, it is really difficult to build a level 0 village from scratch in the early stage.
Just a large number of drawings is enough to give Ai Lan a headache for a long time.
"How about swallowing it?"
After swallowing it, the mangrove collar can be upgraded to level 2 immediately.
Wouldn't it be great if he poured some general energy into it and built the mage tower and magic net?
"It's so hard to choose."
"Arkiman, let's peel out the ten studies inside it first."
Ai Lan will definitely plunder all these technologies.
Mangrove Territory is the main city, and this cannot be changed.
"Master, you need to consume 100,000 points of general energy."
"so much!"
Where can there be so much universal energy in the Mangrove Territory now?
"Swallow the heart of the city directly, and the mangrove collar can obtain all the research."
Alkiman's reminder made Ai Lan shaken again.
From the perspective of later income, building a sub-city is definitely the most profitable.
But building a branch city also means that the development speed of the main city will inevitably be delayed.
"Don't worry anymore."
"Arkiman, Devour the Heart of the City."
"yes."
Ai Lan took a deep breath and made her decision.
Let’s get the main city to level 3 first. Having a level 3 city is like a prince even in the old continent.
"The heart of the city is dissolving..."
"Ocean energy is being transformed..."
"Universal energy conversion..."
"Urban studies are being divested...."
Following Yarkman's broadcast, the blue heart of the city slowly melted into the energy pool.
The next moment, a huge tide of energy burst out from it.
"Upgrade the mangrove collar to level 2 immediately."
"The mangrove collar has begun to upgrade..."
"Archiman, maximize the efficiency of all buildings in the city."
"yes."
Ai Lan thought for a while and took out a lot of drawings from his backpack.
"Don't be frugal, just build as much as you can if you have the energy."
"Wright, don't study it now, the rest will be up to you."
"Yes, leave it to me."
This is also the first time for Wright to build something using universal energy, which feels quite strange.
"Your architects used excellence and consumed three and a half times the amount of materials to start construction."
"Ding, the construction of the chaos maze is completed."
"Light, just use universal energy to upgrade."
This building cost him a lot of money, and Ai Lan didn't even bother to read the upgrade requirements, and just started smashing it with universal energy.
"yes."
"Ding, chaos maze → giant chaos maze."
As soon as the maze was completed, a thin layer of fog immediately filled the outside of the mangrove collar.
The moment this layer of fog appeared, all the information exposed by the mangrove collar changed dramatically.
For example, after a mangrove collar walks across the seabed, it will leave a very obvious crawling mark on the seabed.
But as soon as this layer of fog appeared, the traces left by the mangrove collar immediately turned into something strange.
"View properties."
Name: Giant Chaos Maze
Faction: Dark
Level: Level 5
Durability:15000/15000(+50%)
Function: Chaos Message (+50%)
Bonus: Keep improving
Advancement: None
Warning: Confusing information will affect the locking of space coordinates. Please turn off this function when using the time and space gate or space teleportation.
"Okay, this is what I want."
With Chaos Maze in charge, Ai Lan won't have to worry about being suddenly visited in the future.
"Build a few more."
Next, Ai Lan directly created the land of flesh and blood and the city's guardian spirit.
The Earth of Flesh and Blood is to supplement the natural-type troops, and the City Guardian Spirit is a very interesting functional building. It will not be a loss if you build it early.
Name: Land of Flesh and Blood
Faction:Nature
Level:Level 3
Durability: 3500/3500 (excellence)
Stock: 4
Price: 550 gold coins
Function: Produce 8 parasitic magic vines every week.
Bonus: Keep improving
Advanced: Insufficient prerequisites
"The advancement failed."
After having the research institute, Ai Lan no longer attaches great importance to building advancement.
If the function is really powerful, the worst possible thing is to research the building and then rebuild it.
Parasitism: burrow into the enemy's body and eat away at its life. It is ineffective against inanimate units.
Blood-sucking: Sucks the enemy's blood. It is ineffective against inanimate units.
"not bad."
It's a very interesting unit. If used well, it may be able to play many tricks.
The other building of a city guardian spirit is a bit more peculiar.
This building needs to be built in the city lord's palace, and its shape is a shrine-like hut.
The city guardian spirit is a special building that cannot be upgraded or advanced. Its only function is to help a city unlock the ability of the guardian spirit.
Guardian spirits can actually be regarded as guardian beasts, which basically have similar abilities.
Turn a certain creature into a totem to provide certain benefits to the city.
"What kind of guardian spirit should I choose?"
Ai Lan's intention is to choose a man who can swim faster and a mangrove who can run faster in the sea.
It's just that the system prompts that once the guardian spirit is selected, it cannot be changed casually.
The guardian spirit's ability bonus will directly cover the entire territory, which is a huge gain.
"Then don't choose it now, wait until you meet a suitable creature."
"Mangrove leader, move forward at full speed, we will return to Guano Island immediately."
In fact, Ai Lan doesn't even want to go back to Guano Island now. There must be many pairs of eyes secretly searching for the whereabouts of this heart of the city.
I'm sure someone will cast suspicious eyes on him.
But the gate to heaven was still there, but even if he took a second look, he always felt unwilling to do so.
