Inside the giant Demon warehouse, the light was dim.
Only the mountain of magic crystals emitted a faint blue glow.
It was especially noticeable in the dim environment.
There were also boxes and bundles of food supplies, piled up to a height of a hundred meters.
Although these were just ordinary resources,
the sheer quantity was staggering!
Ling Ye was on a zero-dollar shopping spree.
He even picked out the ones that fell into the cracks in the bricks.
His motto was thrift and frugality.
Mine, mine, all mine!
[Magic Crystals + billion.]
[Food + billion.]
[Magic Crystals + billion.]
[Magic Crystals +1.]
[Food...]
He emptied a giant Demon storage warehouse.
Then continued to the next one.
Not only magic crystals and food, these strategic resources,
but also building resources such as wood and stone, were extremely abundant.
Ling Ye took them all.
Whether they were useful or not, he would take them back to the Undying City.
During his zero-dollar shopping spree, Ling Ye took the opportunity to check out the Vortex Gate.
The so-called Vortex Gate was a circular teleportation array composed of nine spatial pillars.
Entering from any direction could initiate teleportation.
Outside the Vortex Gate, which spanned hundreds of kilometers in diameter, was a giant city.
Whoever conquered the Vortex Gate would have the right to use the giant city, the right to garrison troops, and the right to build, etc.
For example, Ling Ye.
He was now the owner of this No. 2 Vortex Gate.
He was also the owner of this giant city.
So he could build a metal storm system on the city walls of the giant city.
He could also station troops here.
And the purpose of stationing troops was to ensure the ownership of the Vortex Gate.
So, what did the ownership of the Vortex Gate mean?
This involved the function of the Vortex Gate.
The function of the Vortex Gate was teleportation.
It allowed lords in the outer sea to teleport through the Vortex Gate and directly enter the inner sea to contact the native tribes and kingdoms of the Roland world.
Each use of the Vortex Gate required paying a corresponding teleportation fee.
The key was this teleportation fee.
This was also the point that Ling Ye valued the most, and why he painstakingly made various preparations to conquer the Vortex Gate.
There were a total of 5 Vortex Gates in the Sea of Death.
No matter what the location of the Vortex Gate.
No matter which empire it led to.
The fee charged for each teleportation was 100,000 magic crystals.
100,000 magic crystals for one teleportation to enter the inner sea.
Coming out of the inner sea and returning to the outer sea did not require magic crystals.
And the teleportation fee was charged per use.
One lord teleporting once was counted as one person-time teleportation, costing 100,000 magic crystals.
One lord teleporting ten times, or ten lords teleporting once each, was counted as ten person-time teleportations, costing 1 million magic crystals.
What?
You say that a fee of 100,000 magic crystals per person-time is too shabby, right!
Is this still a strategic location that everyone is fighting for?
emmm...
What Ling Ye wanted to say was that 100,000 magic crystals per person-time was a bit too little.
But what if it was 1 million person-times, 10 million person-times, or 100 million person-times?
1 million person-time teleports, 100,000 * 1 million = 100 billion magic crystals.
10 million person-time teleports, 100,000 * 10 million = 1 trillion magic crystals.
100 million person-time teleports, 100,000 * 100 million = 10 trillion magic crystals.
10 trillion ah! What concept is that?
With the three entries of Double Quick, 50% Discount, and Instant Training, 10 trillion magic crystals = 2 billion*twelfth-tier trump card legions.
It can be said that occupying a Vortex Gate is equivalent to occupying a cornucopia that can continuously produce magic crystals.
Achieving easy passive income.
Therefore!
In the previous life, the Vortex Gate was a must-contend place for countries, alliances, and hundreds of millions of lords.
Wars broke out everywhere to seize the ownership and charging rights of the Vortex Gate.
Every alliance that occupied the Vortex Gate for a long time made a bloody profit.
Of course, making a bloody profit is making a bloody profit.
The difficulty and risk involved were not something that ordinary people could bear.
The difficulty referred to the siege.
Each Vortex Gate had at least hundreds of billions of wild monsters guarding it.
Taking it down was like ascending to heaven.
You had to pave the way with the corpses of legions, and use the power of the alliance, or even the power of the country, to be able to enter.
Ling Ye was an exception.
He was a pervert and could not be understood by common sense.
He could even fight it alone.
Being able to fight was one thing, but he could also clear the level with zero casualties.
The risks and investments referred to the need to send troops to guard the Vortex Gate after it was captured.
And it had to be guarded with a large number of legions.
Otherwise, it could be snatched away and changed hands by other lords or racial forces at any time.
Because charging teleportation fees could generate huge profits.
Therefore, every lord or alliance that occupied the Vortex Gate.
Would become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of other lords or alliances and countries near the Vortex Gate.
It would also become the target of the endless monsters in the Sea of Death.
Therefore, in the previous life, there was a widely circulated saying.
That was: It is easy to capture a city, but difficult to defend it.
Without enough strength, you really couldn't hold it.
Not to mention the various wild monsters that harassed you sporadically.
Just those lords who were jealous and hateful were enough to give you a hard time.
Of course, Ling Ye was mentally prepared for these.
Not only was he mentally prepared, but he also formulated a detailed plan.
Taking down the No. 2 Vortex Gate, which was closest to the Dragon Kingdom's sea area, was just the first step in Ling Ye's plan.
The ultimate effect that Ling Ye's plan wanted to achieve was to write his name, Ling Ye, on all 5 Vortex Gates scattered in different directions in the Sea of Death.
Don't ask.
Ask is overbearing.
One Vortex Gate was a cornucopia.
For Ling Ye, how could one cornucopia be enough?
It must be full!
Taking five together is the only way to have fun!
As long as Ling Ye could take down all five Vortex Gates and defend them fiercely.
He could make all the lords of the entire Blue Star become his customers.
He could earn interest fiercely by charging teleportation fees.
The number of magic crystals produced here was astronomical.
Ling Ye's legion expansion speed would transform to a new level.
To prepare for the invasion of the evil gods a few months later.
The rest will not be mentioned.
The No. 2 Vortex Gate has been taken down.
It is currently in an occupied state, but it cannot be used yet.
According to the rules for using the Vortex Gate.
All 5 Vortex Gates must be occupied before.
The five Vortex Gates can be officially put into use.
It doesn't matter who fights it, it doesn't matter who occupies it.
There is only one rigid condition, that is, all 5 Vortex Gates must be in the hands of the lords before they can be used.
In the previous life, the 5 Vortex Gates were occupied in place three months after the merger.
In this life, Ling Ye naturally couldn't wait that long.
He believed in self-reliance.
If the 5 Vortex Gates were to rely on others.
It would take two months to complete the processes of searching, finding, attacking, pulling, occupying, and guarding.
If Ling Ye did it himself, it could be done in a few days.
It could also make the five Vortex Gates all become his real estate, perfect!
Let's get back to the main topic.
In two or three hours, the Demon warehouse was emptied, and Ling Ye made a bloody profit.
He got more than 10 billion magic crystals alone.
There was even more food, more than 20 billion, all of which were realized at this moment.
There were too many architectural resources, too miscellaneous, so I won’t go into details.
I won’t go into details about crops, equipment, and essence either.
Finally, there were the lair blueprints.
A full twenty or thirty sheets.
Unfortunately, the grades were low, all seventh, eighth, and ninth grades.
Ling Ye didn't even have the desire to look at them.
But they could be hidden and evolved, and auctioned together with the pile of useless garbage equipment to exchange for magic crystals.
He hadn't auctioned anything since reaching an agreement with Katyusha.
This was a good opportunity to give her some sweetness.
By the way, contact Katyusha and let her prepare.
The next Vortex Gate that Ling Ye was going to attack was not far from the sea area of the Russian Empire.
