Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 1018 - 855: Rainbow Gem
[You have been immersed in the mini-game for three consecutive hours, would you like to activate the anti-addiction mode?]
Jiang Yuan was enthusiastically brushing through the game when the sudden pop-up prompt made him chuckle, "An adult needs anti-addiction? You’ve got me rebuilding the Celestial Court, can you stop pretending to be a game?"
The system, as usual, did not respond. After he clicked no, it didn’t pop up any more windows to disturb his "gaming."
With the Earth Spirit Flame as a dedicated "fighter" to deal with the flame, not a moment was wasted. The flame demanded resources and immediately turned hostile. Even before it finished its dialogue, he threw a ball of flame to swallow the fire beast.
[Current map exploration: 62%, points: 10005, would you like to spend points to build a teleportation platform?]
After another dozen minutes, the points were finally accumulated. The moment the query interface popped up, Jiang Yuan immediately clicked confirm.
[Teleportation platform under construction, please be patient...]
Taking advantage of this break, he calculated that it would take about five hours total to complete the current map.
This is if the Earth Spirit Flame helps and there’s almost no need to fight. If after exploring it refreshes to another map where he has to fight systematically, brushing through a map might take seven to eight hours.
"Three times a day, three times eight is twenty-four, doesn’t that mean brushing for a whole day?" He frowned slightly and opened the dungeon interface to take a glance.
Riverfront Village dungeon is peaceful now. Occasionally checking villagers’ logs can kill time. If there’s time, he could also respond to the villagers’ requests, helping them with something beyond human capacity;
In the Mizhang Ridge dungeon, he already obtained three Earth Seals. With Qing Niao and Xiaoyun’s realms getting higher, the dungeon brushing speed also increased a lot, so it shouldn’t take too long to finish brushing it all. There’s nothing to worry about here;
The Flood Dragon Tomb dungeon was handed over to Bai Yunqi and Xie Chenyuan to brush through, while he occasionally went in to collect flood dragon corpses and throw them into the slaughterhouse to increase food stock;
The World Tree branches dungeon needs to accumulate more Faith Value;
The Mysterious Cave and World Tree mini-game dungeons are reliant on him brushing through by himself...
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt like he was biting off more than he could chew. Should he consider prioritizing some aspects? Perhaps treat dungeons like the teleportation platform as mere leisure activities?
While pondering, a string of prompts appeared in his view.
[World Tree teleportation platform has been completed]
[Current teleportation platform is Level One, can only be used to send gifts to the Little Elf You Meng]
[Teleportation platform upgraded to Level Two can link with Floating Market orders, allowing for a wider order acceptance range and richer rewards]
[Teleportation platform upgraded to Level Three can link with the mines, where production can be clicked to collect instantly]
[Teleportation platform upgraded to Level Four can dispatch a miner with tools to autonomously mine ores in mines at Second Layer and below...]
......
After reading the increasingly practical introductions for each level, Jiang Yuan pursed his lips and thought, speaking of greed... it’s just a bit busier, but the rewards are indeed substantial.
At worst, he can schedule it: brush the Mysterious Cave on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays; the World Tree mini-game on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and explore the sea to search for the Sea Moon Tomb on Sundays.
Once the teleportation platform is upgraded to Level Four, he can dispatch miners, reducing the hassle at the mines. When it’s upgraded to Level Six, not only can five miners be dispatched with double the efficiency, but also some mining experience can be gained. It’s a long-term great deal!
Thinking about this increased his motivation for brushing through dungeons!
He excitedly continued brushing dungeons to earn points until the entire map exploration reached 100%. After gaining a Building Upgrade Card, Jiang Yuan calmed down—the difficulty of brushing dungeons wasn’t high, the problem was consuming too many resources.
If he kept brushing like this, his warehouse would be half-empty in just a few days.
Once the current map exploration is complete, he will be forcibly exited from the dungeon. To continue, he will have to consume another entry chance.
"The system arranges it all in an inextricable loop. Apart from cultivating more fields, it’s best to build a few more poultry houses and barns to have more base materials for fertilizer;
The Fish Pond and slaughterhouse also need expansion, otherwise the demon beasts slaughtered daily won’t be enough. Should he gather manpower to kill monsters in Carefree City, or just source directly..." After inventorying everything, he didn’t click to enter the mini-game again.
After all, these points were exchanged with his accumulated resources. It’s better to get the basic constructions right first, then when more resources are accumulated, more time won’t be wasted, and he can brush at will.
After upgrading to Level Eight, poultry houses and barns can be increased to three each. Additionally, the small courtyard of the Lotus Peak in the Netherworld is also being put into use. All related constructions need to be arranged at least to ensure the small courtyard in the Netherworld can operate independently, achieving self-sufficiency.
Planning in mind, Jiang Yuan flew forward following the mining tunnels excavated in the Second Layer.
The mining tunnels were crooked, showing that after leaving it to the papermen to mine, due to their limited intelligence, they inevitably struck here and there, sometimes deviating far from the intended route before winding back.
But the overall effect was good, advancing nearly thirty thousand meters further compared to last time he checked.
"With some effort, before the new farmland is cultivated, it should reach two hundred thousand meters." Taking out a Mining Pickaxe from the Storage Bag, he estimated that with the speed of advanced tools, he could mine two meters deep per minute, and if he didn’t stop, he could see Crystal Stone before dark. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Without a more efficient mining robot, he had to put in more effort himself.
Jiang Yuan diligently buried himself in work. Whenever his Physical Strength Bar ran out, he’d drink two cups of tea and continue. Aside from occasionally completing a few orders with the Courtyard Communicator or battling a small monster, he emptied his mind, mechanically swinging the Mining Pickaxe in the direction the map dictated.
