resource!
Even a large force like the elemental elves has resource problems.
In a closed state, their development continues and resource consumption will become increasingly severe.
Unfortunately, the lifespan of elemental elves is extremely long, and this problem becomes even more prominent.
Without detailed population and resource planning, an energy crisis is bound to occur sooner or later.
It is even very likely that they are facing such a dilemma now.
It is precisely because of this that they urgently need external resource acquisition channels such as the Elf Garden.
At the same time, the elemental elves also need to use the method of elf symbiosis to further reduce the pressure of cultivating newborn elemental elves.
"What about the deal?"
"Now if I want to trade with you, how do I proceed?"
"Do you want to trade directly with me?"
The Elf Garden had just been upgraded, and Mo Yu had many questions. Why would he leave the ready-made 'Novice Guiding Elf' unused?
It's always easier to ask Izel directly than to figure it out on your own.
"No, no, no, not a deal with me."
Izel waved his hand and continued, "As for trading, Tier 3 buildings can only be traded through a fixed trading window. You should be able to see it when you open the building interface."
"Hey, didn't you say before that there would be tribesmen coming here who are specifically responsible for trading?" Mo Yu remembered what Izel said last time.
"Oh, that... well, the current building level is not enough for the time being. After it continues to upgrade, the tribe will soon send someone over." Izer didn't expect Mo Yu to have such a good memory, so he had to explain.
Mo Yu nodded to show that he understood. He knew that it was because his VIP level was not high enough.
V3 opens remote trading, V5 opens dedicated service, and V8 opens supreme exclusive treatment, it’s all the same routine.
He could also understand that the Elemental Tribe also needed to judge the strength of the lord and choose different ways of cooperation accordingly.
Mo Yu touched his chin, wondering if he could directly enjoy the V9 Emperor treatment if he took out the Tree of Life Tower.
But it's just a thought. Such a good thing should be kept at home and enjoyed slowly. There is no reason to show it off outside.
Then, he asked indirectly about some things about conquering the world.
Unfortunately, Izel was very cautious and did not reveal too much. He only vaguely stated that he was restricted by the rules and could not say too much.
The two chatted for a while, but Mo Yu didn't gain much substantive information.
Unfortunately, Izel's authority is limited and he can only upgrade the elves' lucky garden to the third level.
Even though it was very optimistic about Mo Yu, in the later levels, Mo Yu could only improve step by step according to the rules.
The subsequent upgrade of the Elf Garden is not only related to friendship, but also involves contribution points, which need to be accumulated slowly through various methods such as trading and elf symbiosis.
Mo Yu didn't care too much about this. After all, he already had the Tree of Life Tower and the nature elves, so he didn't care much about such a garden.
All that is needed is a transaction channel.
He didn't want to have too close a relationship with the elemental elves. After all, Mo Yu couldn't tell their attitude towards the Tree of Life Tower.
The Ancient Elemental Tree and the Tree of Life are both one of the six ancient trees of the elves. Who knows if the other party will go completely crazy after discovering the Tree of Life Tower.
Therefore, Mo Yu didn't want to coexist with elemental elves at all.
The natural elves in the territory are about to be born. If you want symbiotic elves, they are everywhere. Why bother raising children for others?
"Lord Lin Yaodong, I will report your situation to the tribe as soon as possible. See you next time!"
The wood elf Izel flashed and disappeared on the spot.
Mo Yu lazily basked in the sun for a while before returning to his territory.
As soon as I returned to the territory, I felt the damp and cold air hitting my face, sweeping away the warm and dry feeling in my body.
Standing in front of the Elf's Lucky Garden, he opened the building's information panel.
【Elf's Lucky Garden】
[Level]: Level 530 hidden (automatically upgraded with the elemental spirit's friendship and contribution points, currently 0 points of friendship and 1000 points of contribution, upgraded to 500 points of friendship and points of contribution to advance to the next level)
[Attributes]: Connected to a tribe of elemental elves. Entering it has a chance to encounter elves playing in the garden. After completing their requests for help, there is a chance to receive gifts from the elves.
[Function - Trade]: You can trade with elemental spirits through the trade window and exchange resources. The number of trades per week is 3/3.
[Function - Elf Symbiosis]: Currently, 5 elemental elves can coexist.
[Characteristic Friend of Elemental Elves]: Increases favorability with elemental elves by 30 points and favorability with elves by 5 points.
[Special Blessing of the Wood Elves]: Increases the growth rate of plants in the territory by 30%.
[Introduction]: Completing the tasks assigned to you by the elemental elves is one of the ways to quickly increase your favorability.
The Elf's Lucky Garden was successfully upgraded to the third level, and the original characteristic bonuses were improved.
The increased favorability of elemental elves reaches 30 points, and there are 5 more points of favorability for the elves.
Unfortunately, until now, he has never come into contact with the nests of elemental elves or elven troops.
Another trait, Blessing of the Wood Elves, also provides 30% faster plant growth.
This feature is quite necessary for the territory. Combined with the Tower of Harvest and the newly acquired feature of prosperous people and abundant resources, the farming effect is excellent.
In addition to the different degrees of improvement in the bonuses of the two characteristics, there are also two new functions: trading and elf symbiosis.
Mo Yu first checked the elf symbiosis that he was more curious about.
As the building information panel unfolded, five elemental elves of different colors appeared in front of him.
Green, purple, blue, red, and yellow correspond to the five attributes of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth. These are the most basic attribute types of elemental elves, and also the five categories with the largest number.
The sixth category, collectively known as mutant elves, corresponds to the mutant attributes.
Such as wood-attribute elves like Izel, as well as space-attribute, sacred attribute and so on.
The panel describes the symbiosis requirements in great detail.
A symbiotic contract can only be signed with someone who has corresponding elf attributes.
Symbiotic elemental spirits can help symbiotic personnel fight and enable them to master certain special elemental skills.
The symbiotic personnel need to provide magic power to help the elemental elves stabilize themselves and accelerate their growth.
From this point of view, it seems pretty good, which is equivalent to having an extra pet to help in battle.
But there is another rule behind this: when the elemental elf matures, the entire symbiotic relationship ends and the elemental elf automatically returns to the elemental elf world.
What is this? Signing this symbiotic contract just to be a nanny?
Even though the larval stage of elemental elves is very long, normally ranging from ten to thirty years, it still looks like a loss no matter how you look at it.
If you have this much time, it would be much better to raise some cats and dogs.
Of course, it's not entirely without benefits.
First of all, the symbiotic elemental elves will gain the favorability of the elemental elves. Well, this doesn’t mean much to Mo Yu.
Secondly, when the symbiotic elemental spirit leaves, it will be gifted with an elemental skill.
This is somewhat useful, but the time period is too long.
Then, after completing three elemental spirit symbiosis, the fourth time you can get an elemental spirit to accompany you permanently. Emmm... this is a big pie, and it is probably difficult for ordinary people to survive the fourth time.
However, in most cases, many people are still willing to coexist with elemental elves. After all, the combat effectiveness of elemental elves is not bad. They are equivalent to mobile spell turrets and can still provide a lot of help in combat.
The above are the benefits for individuals, and the benefits obtained on the territory side are a large number of contribution points, which can be used to purchase things from the elemental elves.
Mo Yu studied it carefully, thought about it, and decided to give up.
Because if an elemental elf dies during the symbiotic process, the punishment will be quite severe. Not only will a large number of contribution points be deducted, but also the favorability and friendliness will be reduced.
Moreover, elemental elves do not have absolute control over the territory like the people who rule it, and they are also prone to exposing the secrets of the territory.
Mo Yu felt that if he had the time, he should first coexist with his own natural spirits.
Not only are there not so many rules and regulations, but we are also real family members.
Mo Yu continued to look at the second function, trading.
Once opened, the interface that appears is somewhat similar to the previous market.
The difference is that there is not so much information in it and it is far less prosperous than the market.
After all, this is a one-on-one transaction with elemental elves, not like a market where a large number of lord players can trade freely with each other.
The first few items on the market interface show the resources sold by elemental elves.
Because of the low level of the buildings, they don't have many resources for sale, such as wood, herbs, ores...mostly some common basic resources.
Mo Yu took a quick look and wasn't very interested.
Better quality magic potions, magic skill books, etc. require contribution points in exchange.
It also shows some advanced items that have not yet been unlocked, such as Pegasus, Dryad Warriors and other high-level soldiers that can be exchanged.
Unfortunately, the required building level is very high, it needs to reach level six, which is a very carefully drawn pie.
Continuing to look down, it was the things that the elemental elves had acquired, elemental magic crystals, elemental gems, magic crystal stones...
The purchase price was not displayed. Mo Yu tried to put a few water magic crystals on it and chose to exchange them for resource gold coins.
The price offered by the other party was 800 gold coins per piece, which was very cheap, but still acceptable.
The prices in the previous market cannot be used as a reference, after all, the time was too short. The only reference I can get is probably the slave market I visited once.
A third-level slave over there costs about 500 gold coins.
Elemental magic crystals are obtained from creatures of level four or above, and 800 magic crystals for one is considered a so-so amount.
Mo Yu has the most water magic crystals on hand, more than 300 in total. Most of them were obtained from the last attack on the fifth-level elemental stronghold. Naturally, he has the capital to trade.
"Let's start with fifty of them, which cost forty thousand gold coins. It will be enough for a short period of time. There are also two gold mines that are being mined." Mo Yu made a decision quickly.
After taking out fifty water magic crystals and choosing to trade, they were immediately integrated into the Elf Garden.
About a minute later, a large coin bag fell from above the Elf Garden, filled with gold coins.
Put it directly into the backpack and 40,000 gold coins will be credited to your account.
Hey, it's pretty useful.
[Reminder: You have completed a transaction with the Elemental Elf Tribe, and gained 50 friendship points and 50 contribution points! ]
As the transaction was completed, a prompt was quickly displayed, and it was obvious that the other party was very satisfied with the transaction.
Mo Yu was also very satisfied. 50 contribution points were not a small number. With another 50 points, a total of 100 points would be enough to exchange for a second-level magic skill book.
It is not a one-time spell scroll, but a book of magic skills that can directly help people learn.
Mo Yu checked the resources in his backpack and added 100 water element essences.
This is a rare magic crystal, born from elemental life forms, and should be of great help to elemental elves.
It is even possible that it is larger than the elemental magic crystal.
However, the batch that Mo Yu hung up were not of high levels, and most of them were obtained by killing loaches.
But despite this, the Elemental Elf Tribe still offered a high price of 500 gold coins per piece.
This made Mo Yu feel a little bit at a loss. He should have sold these elemental essences earlier.
Compared to magic crystals, there are not many places in the territory where these elemental essences are used.
Mo Yu did not choose to trade, but hoped to exchange for epic plant fruits of different categories, with no level or quality requirements.
The Elemental Tribe controls an entire plane of the world, and their resources are far richer than their own. It shouldn't be too difficult to collect a batch of epic plant fruits.
Soon, the other party responded with 5 first-level epic plant fruits.
Mo Yu frowned and did not confirm.
The market provided by Elf Garden, unlike e-commerce, also has a chat channel.
Now is the moment to test the psychology of both sides to see who chooses to compromise first.
Mo Yu intended to raise the price. After all, after exchanging the gold coins, there would be no shortage of resources in the territory in the short term.
So he simply left the Elf Garden and planned to come back to see it later.
Now that I have enough gold coins, I can finally recruit all the soldiers I have been collecting for a week.
Small Stone Monster Mountain, 30 second-level rare small stone monsters, cost 450 gold coins and 600 stone materials;
Shadow Scout Camp, 45 rare level 8100 Shadow Scouts, 6750 units of wood, units of gold;
Mountain Giant Camp, 60 rare level 6000 mountain giants, consuming 3000 gold coins and stone materials;
Tauren Camp, 75 rare level 15000 Tauren warriors, costing gold coins;
Farmer camp, 45 first-level farmers, 225 gold coins;
Leopard Camp, 30 second-level Leopards, 900 gold coins;
Mummy Pyramid, recruit 150 first-level mummies, 120 second-level rare mummy guards, 90 third-level rare entangled mummies... and two new types of soldiers that have just appeared, 30 third-level rare dark mummies, and 60 fourth-level rare claw mummies, consuming 164100 magic energy points.
Overall, the most consumed thing is magic energy, which is also the resource that Mo Yu has the least of now.
After experiencing many large-scale wars, he now has millions of magic powers at hand, enough to recruit all the large groups of mummies in the Mummy Pyramid.
The appearance of these mummies perfectly makes up for the current defensive gap in the Great Wall of Steel.
Among the several military buildings, the Mummy Pyramid is probably the one with the highest quality.
It can automatically upgrade as the territory is upgraded to produce new types of soldiers. It has the greatest potential. Now there are five types of mummy soldiers.
It seems that as the level increases in the future, it will be easy to provide the territory with more than a dozen types of mummies.
The second is gold coins, which are the main resource for recruiting soldiers.
The mummies were placed on the Great Iron Wall, and the Tauren warriors reported directly to the military camp, where they were stationed as reserve legion troops.
Shadow scouts and mountain giants also went to report to Teemo and others.
The remaining farmers and leopards were thrown into their respective tribes by Mo Yu to further expand the population base. (End of this chapter)
