Lords Trying to Survive: Strategizing from a Rundown Yard

"Hey, finally there is a reliable substitute for the [Time Stop Orb (Gold)]."

Zong Shen looked at the [Time Energy Hourglass (Special)] in front of him and was more and more satisfied.

However, this thing needs to be charged before it can be used.

And it can only be "charged" when it is taken out.

Its so-called "charging" does not have any fancy skills, it depends entirely on the passage of time.

It takes 10,000 seconds to charge 1 point of time energy.

And each point of time energy corresponds to 1 second of power.

To charge 600 points of time energy, it takes a full 1,666 hours.

Further conversion is 69 days.

Of course, the [Time Energy Hourglass (Special)] is still very user-friendly, and it can be used even if it is not fully charged.

The only difference is the duration of the power.

In addition, the training ground that has imposed the time sequence privilege can also take effect on the hourglass.

Make the time sequence twelve times longer.

In other words, if the [Time Energy Hourglass (Special)] is placed in this training ground.

Then the charging time that originally required nearly 70 days in the outside world can be completed in less than 6 days here.

It can be said that the application efficiency of [Time Energy Hourglass] has been greatly improved.

And this is equivalent to indirectly increasing its value.

Time is money, this wise saying of the goblins does make some sense.

After knowing the plan, he put the [Time Hourglass (Special)] on the open space next to the spring pool.

Let it charge slowly here.

If nothing happens, try not to take it out casually.

Zong Shen thought so, and his hands did not hesitate at all.

After putting the hourglass away, it took out the next item.

It turned out to be a construction drawing.

You should know that in the two quality levels of [Special] and [Unknown], it is rare to see items such as construction drawings and manufacturing drawings.

So Zong Shen felt a little strange.

However, he had glanced at the list of related items before, so he was somewhat mentally prepared.

This construction drawing is still the ancient parchment scroll style that has not changed for thousands of years.

The drawings produced through the lord system are basically in this unified style.

This is probably a fusion of privilege and reality.

Because of the unified style, there is no clue on the surface.

But this manufacturing drawing is still different from ordinary drawings.

The biggest difference is that about a quarter of its edge is incomplete.

This makes the neat track above look a little discordant.

With one hand tapping, Zong Shen turned his eyes to this manufacturing drawing.

The relevant attribute list appeared next to the manufacturing drawing, and its appearance was just right.

It just answered Zong Shen's questions.

[Incomplete Desert Ark Manufacturing Diagram (Special)]

[Quality: Special]

[Incomplete state, unable to manufacture base]

[Required materials: ...]

[Required craft level: ...]

(Oh, it just happens to be missing the most important part

The complete version of the Desert Ark is a powerful desert mobile battle fortress

It can carry a large number of soldiers and war machinery

Even the loosest sand can be flat for it

And the Desert Ark has a very strong defense effect and can activate a high shield autonomously)

…

Zong Shen was suddenly speechless.

It’s okay that the drawings are incomplete, but what’s missing is the most important base craft.

This makes the densely marked materials on it become boring.

He can’t just build an empty shell.

Without the base, the Desert Ark cannot move, and it will become unworthy of its name.

“How to complete the drawings?”

After thinking for a moment, he took the initiative to ask in his heart.

The answer from the strategy module is very timely.

(Special drawings cannot be completed directly. You need to find the corresponding ruins to have a chance to find the incomplete other half of the drawings.

The ruins of the Desert Ark are located in the Hidden Desert in the country of the Sarand Sultanate.

If you are interested, this guide can provide you with detailed information at any time)

…

"Hide and Seek Desert?"

"If I remember correctly, there seems to be another related item in that place."

Zong Shen's memory is good, and he quickly remembered an [Unknown] item.

It is called [The Token of the Hidden Desert (Unknown)].

It seems to be related to the Hidden Desert.

It is just right to deal with it together when the time comes.

Zong Shen thought about it and put away the drawings instead of forcing to learn.

It can be put away freely even if the drawings remain incomplete.

But if you learn it, it will be completely integrated into the manufacturing privileges of the territory.

If the incomplete drawings need to be pieced together, it will be a mess.

It is precisely because of this cautious idea that he did not learn and master the drawings.

After putting away this incomplete manufacturing drawing, Zong Shen felt a little unlucky.

He hated this kind of half-baked stuff the most.

But thinking of the few good items before, the bad luck was also washed away.

This time it swam around in the spring pool before taking out the next item.

It was a small square that looked ordinary.

This square was very regular, without any bumps.

The base color was gray, but there were two purple stripes running directly across it.

There was nothing much to say about the appearance, and it was almost clear at a glance.

So Zong Shen put it in his hands and played with it for a while, then focused on its relevant information and attributes.

[Dimensional Rubik's Cube Parts·V (Unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[Contains some kind of dimensional power Rubik's Cube parts, a total of 26 cubes]

[At least three adjacent numbered blocks can activate some effects]

(Dimensional magic can move dimensional trajectories and is a precious dimensional treasure.

Although in theory you need to accumulate three adjacently numbered blocks before you can use it, but you have the [Dimension Seed], you can try to temporarily integrate this block into it, which may make a big difference in the small dimensional world)

…

Zong Shen immediately understood its function.

26 parts means this is a common third-level Rubik's Cube.

Now it has been split into 26 blocks with different numbers, and each block contains a part of the power of the dimension.

Under normal circumstances, it is easy to use it.

You have to collect all the adjacent numbered blocks.

But Zong Shen has [Dimensional Seed (Special)].

As a special dimensional item, it represents the sprout of a small world.

Therefore, it has great plasticity.

Moreover, [Dimension Seed (Special)] indicates that it can produce related strengthening effects by fusing other dimension-related items.

This seems to be no secret.

Zong Shen thought of this and took out the [Dimension Seed] with his backhand.

He held the Rubik's Cube in one hand and the seeds in the other.

Then I made a decision in a thought.

I saw Zong Shen first sinking his mind into the [Dimensional Seed], observing the entire small dimensional world from a bird's eye view.

From this perspective, he seemed to have become the master of the small world, able to see every detail in it.

Even the boundaries of small dimensions.

All I saw outside the boundary was gray gas. There was no end in sight, and no entity could be seen clearly. There was only gas, endless gas.

After a little observation, Zong Shen mobilized [Dimensional Rubik's Cube Part·V (Unknown)] and took it out in the small dimensional world.

At the same time, with a thought, let [Dimensional Seed (Special)] activate the fusion effect, allowing it to integrate the Rubik's Cube parts into it.

Changes happened immediately.

The Rubik's Cube components were seen hanging high on the dome of the small dimensional world, which caused the relatively stable crystal wall there to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, a surprising scene appeared, and the small dimensional world began to expand visibly to the naked eye.

The outer smoke was pushed away, and the roughly oval-shaped small dimension expanded outward.

It's like thousand-sheet tofu in a stew pot, it expands very quickly.

It's not just the sky that's expanding.

The vast land on the ground continues to expand outwards, and at a rapid rate.

This small dimensional expansion lasted for a full quarter of an hour before it ended.

Compared with its original state, Zong Shen's small dimensional world has expanded at least three times.

There is more space inside.

Judging from the recent changes on the ground, the radius has expanded from more than 200 kilometers to more than 600 kilometers.

Whether it is used to accommodate the population or build a reserve base, such a large area is more than enough for him.

The Rubik's Cube parts have not disappeared, but are always hanging high in the sky as if they were embedded in the small world.

This integration is reversible.

When Zong Shen needs to use the Rubik's Cube parts in the future, he can take them out again.

Of course, this depends on whether he can get more Rubik's Cube parts.

After completing the integration of the small dimensional world, Zong Shen put away the [Dimension Seed (Special)].

He waited for a while before taking out the next item from the storage compartment.

It is also the second [Unknown] level item found in this batch of [Golden Treasure Chests].

Suddenly there was a gray cloud floating directly in front of him.

There are actually bright lightning arcs brewing in this dark cloud.

Some are yellow, some are blue, and each lightning arc is particularly active.

The smell of the air is also quietly changing.

Zong Shen looked at the small thundercloud floating in front of him and took the initiative to reach out his hand.

Without any physical barriers, he put his hand into the dark clouds without any hindrance.

The thunder brewing in the clouds surrounded his palms, as if weaving a pair of thunder gloves for him.

It can be seen that the effect of this dark cloud is most likely related to thunder and lightning.

However, items of the [Unknown] level rarely play cards according to common sense.

Experience tells Zong Shen that the role of this dark cloud is definitely not simple.

After pondering for a while, he looked at the dark cloud in front of him and checked its attribute information.

[Manic Thundercloud (Unknown)]

[Quality: unknown]

[A manic thundercloud, if you can gain its approval, you can be protected by the thundercloud, and it will use powerful thunder to help you defeat your opponent]

[Leiyun’s recognition involves a series of comprehensive standards]

(This thundercloud is a rare guardian spirit. As long as it is recognized by it, it can be protected by it.

And its power depends on the strength of the owner)

…

This is a relatively rare item.

It has the nature of a contract to recognize the owner.

However, there is a threshold for entering into a contract with it, and it must be approved by Lei Yun.

Zong Shen didn’t know much about the specific process.

After all, strictly speaking, this was his first time coming into contact with such items.

There were no fancy threshold restrictions in previous contracts.

Either it is available through conscription, or it is available through direct contracting.

Where do I need to obtain any recognition?

"But then again, how do I get approval for this thing?"

Zong Shen didn't see any options.

Even when making contact before, no prompt appeared.

Just when he was about to ask, the dark clouds floating in front of him suddenly became extremely active.

The whole dark cloud was billowing, as if it had really turned into a thundercloud during a storm.

There was even a sound of thunder.

This made the halls in the timing training ground echo with dull thunder.

Zong Shen's eyes flickered and he activated the [Eye of Magic Sense].

With the help of his special vision ability, he saw a large number of lines representing the magic power of thunder elements gathering around the thunder clouds.

With the thundercloud itself as the intersection point, they almost penetrated most of the space in front of me.

The huge thunder power gathered together.

Zong Shen suddenly felt a strong sense of oppression.

Moreover, the thundercloud itself also expanded in a large circle, floating ten meters above Zong Shen's head.

Powerful thunder and lightning seemed to be possible at any time, because Zong felt a strong hostility.

He looked relaxed and understood what the so-called recognition was all about.

The [manic thundercloud (unknown)] in front of us obviously possesses intelligence and some autonomous consciousness.

So its test is simple and crude attacks!

In just a second or two, the thunder was already brewing to the extreme.

A swirling depression appeared below the thundercloud.

There was also a thick thunderbolt that struck straight out of it.

It's too late, but it's soon.

Zong Shen didn't have any too drastic reaction, he just moved his right index finger at the last moment.

In the midst of the lightning and flint, the menacing thunder dissipated and was extinguished.

It was as if this thunder and lightning had never appeared.

The corners of Zong Shen's lips curled up, and then he flicked his fingers, and the thundercloud floating above his head immediately began to tremble.

Just now, he used [The Fool's Black Hand] to control the lines of thunder elemental magic and force it to dissipate.

This gave the thundercloud an unexpected feeling.

The whole cloud was stunned.

It looked a bit anthropomorphic, and Zong Shen could faintly feel the hidden emotions it revealed.

"Boom!"

Another thunder sounded.

This spiritual thunder cloud seemed to have come back to its senses, and angrily began to vent its thunder at Zong Shen.

Facing these manic thunder arcs, Zong Shen kept flexing his fingers.

It was still easy to disperse all the thunder.

As long as you master the skills of using black gloves, you can easily deal with elemental attacks.

The thunder and lightning emitted by this thundercloud are no exception.

This wave can be said to be the tip of the needle, and it is just right.

The powerful thunder and lightning was ineffective, turning Leiyun into a toothless tiger.

"Don't waste your efforts."

"Recognize me, join me, achieve me."

Zong Shen said with a smile.

…
