“Including the normal population in Gondolin, there are close to 50,000 people. The consumption of such a large population is very high. If we follow the previous plan and cross the Black Stone Forest, it would be inconvenient if there were too many people... That’s why we didn’t plan to bring all of them...”
Pu Yunchuan was stunned when he heard that. “Then... What was the initial plan?”
Isabelle: “The plan from the beginning was to use my prestige to tell everyone that there are no mutated areas outside where they can rebuild their new homes. However, because it’s too dangerous, we can only organize a portion of people to go there first. The elite warriors will follow them. We will only bring a small number of ordinary people and leave the rest to guard. We will come back to pick them up after we have confirmed that they are safe...”. ..
“Then... When will they come to pick up the people who stayed behind?”Pu Yunchuan asked in a daze.
Upon hearing this, Isabelle looked at him. “They won’t come to pick up...”
Pu Yunchuan:”...”
Isabelle: “There’s only so much food in the city. In order to ensure that we have sufficient supplies, we have to take most of it away. Moreover, the 20,000 ordinary residents of the city plus some of the soldiers who stayed behind exceed 30,000. The food left behind won’t be enough for them to last until we have settled down on the grasslands before coming back to pick them up...”. “...”
Pu Yunchuan collapsed weakly on the table and chair upon hearing this. However, this time, he did not blame Isabelle, instead, he mocked himself, “When I was a loser in the past, I was filled with righteous indignation towards those big shots who disregarded the lives of ordinary people for the sake of benefits. I always thought about what would happen to me after I became an awesome person one day. However, reality has proven that there doesn’t seem to be any difference!”
Hearing this, Isabelle was stunned for a moment. If it was someone else, she would have tried to persuade them to let go of this meaningless pity, but if they really let go, they would become the same person as her.., then would there still be something that attracted her?
After a moment of silence, Isabelle decided to try her best. Although she knew that in the natural law of survival of the fittest, it was a big taboo to be soft-hearted, but she suddenly had the thought of giving it a try... ...
“There was no way before, but now there are actually other ways...”Isabelle finally said.
“You mean to accept the mission of the main base?”Pu Yunchuan was stunned. “That... sounds very difficult, right?”
“It is very difficult...”. “Yes...”Isabelle nodded. “The geological conditions of Gondor Forest are special. There is almost no living soil, and it is unable to be self-sufficient. It has to rely on other cities for supplies, but now the other cities have been swallowed by mutated things, and there is no hope for supplies “...”. “Moreover, this place is surrounded by mutated land. The eastern forest is still expanding. Staying here is no different from waiting for death.” “...”. “...”
“Then... do you still want to accept it?”Pu Yunchuan was stunned.
“Don’t you want to be a hero?”Isabelle sneered.
“Ahem... that... you can’t put your life on the line...”Pu Yunchuan laughed dryly...
“You’re a despicable person...”Isabelle rolled her eyes at him.
Pu Yunchuan:”...”
“But now that we have a mission, we have a chance...”Isabelle sighed.
“Why?”Pu Yunchuan immediately asked.
Isabelle: “The main base wants to build this place into a strategic point, then the nature of the problem will be different. As long as we solve the food problem and resist the early stage, this place will become a supplementary point for the players. As long as we operate it properly, the profit will be huge, and it’s worth the risk...”. “...”
“What profit?”Pu Yunchuan asked curiously.
Isabelle: “A lot. Since this place is set as a strategic point, there will be more and more missions surrounding this place in the future, and the number of players will also increase. Once the number of players increases, hotels, restaurants, weapons repair, daily supply of medicine, and so on, these things will all be profit points. You can do it yourself, or you can contract to others to collect heavy taxes. Before the problem of the map of the black goat is solved, every day will be a huge profit...”. “...”
“F * ck... that makes sense!”Pu Yunchuan nodded in surprise, but then he was stunned for a moment. Then, he asked in confusion, “But... players can teleport. Why are they buying our things here?”
“Haven’t you noticed that the teleportation cost is actually very high?”Isabelle sighed. “I’ve observed that the players in Molendale are now limited to one teleportation per day, and that’s only when there are fewer players who can come to the New World. When more and more players can go out later, the teleportation will definitely be more restricted. Players can’t teleport back to resupply every time...”. “...”
“Not bad, this woman!”Within the Mars Base, Seer looked at Isabelle’s analysis and couldn’t help but nod in praise.
Not only did she quickly understand the benefits behind the mission, she was even able to calculate the teleportation cost through some small details... ... She really was an outstanding person...
In truth, Isabelle’s guess was right, the teleportation cost was indeed very high. Thinking about it, if this thing didn’t have a cost, then what use would those transportation tools be?
In the Space Federation, the more powerful the person, the higher the cost of teleportation. Every time a dragon-level life form was teleported, the cost would be no less than a million federation dollars. If it was teleported far enough, the price would be even more expensive...
Furthermore, teleportation was a high-level space technology, especially for living things. Not only did it have to calculate the mass of the object, it also had to ensure that the living molecules were decomposed and reassembled, normally, only a level 5 civilization would be able to fully grasp this technology. Currently, Seer only relied on the federation’s existing equipment to complete the teleportation function.
This equipment was not cheap, and it was also a huge consumption for seer. Not to mention the equipment’s consumption, just the energy consumption alone was enough to make Seer’s heart ache. Right now, there were only tens of thousands of players, yet they could frequently come online. The teleportation between the D Sphere and Mars was always a waste of money...
This was also because the players used the main body teleportation, which was a level 0 lifeform, so the energy consumption cost was relatively low. However, Seer would definitely not allow players to use their level 3 bodies to teleport frequently in the New World. This was also why he wanted to establish a strategic point...
Just to save money...
So Isabelle’s analysis was completely correct. Once this strategic point was established in the future, it would be a place for profiteering...
Originally, he wanted to take over it himself... ... That was why he deliberately offered a high reward of 200,000 points...
“This loser is really lucky. He can even pick up such a capable woman at home...”seer could not help but ridicule.
The system asked, “Is the lord envious?”
Xi Ye said, “Shut Up! !”
———- —
Pu Yunchuan was getting more and more excited as he listened. He almost drooled. He quickly said, “Why didn’t you say something like this earlier?”
“The risk of great benefits isn’t small either...”Isabelle shook her head. “The mutated things outside can strike this place at any time, and...”
The biggest worry in Isabelle’s heart was the mastermind behind the Black Goat’s design. The alien lord behind Pu Yunchuan was very powerful, but the undead that his ancestors had followed was not simple either. There would definitely be conflicts in the future! And once there was a conflict, these strategic points would bear the brunt of it!
Thinking of this, she tried to persuade him. “Actually, I think it’s better to leave. There’s also a reward of 200,000 points, and it’s different from before. Since the main base is going to be built, it definitely won’t give up just because we give up. Naturally, someone else will take over...”. “...”
“That’s reasonable...”Pu Yunchuan smiled, but then he pointed outside the tent, “But look...”
Hearing this, Isabelle looked over and saw many women who came to bring food to her husband who had joined the guards...
She was silent for a moment...
She understood what Pu Yunchuan meant. Once they left, many people would be separated from their families... ...
Seeing that the other party was silent, Pu Yunchuan quickly said, “I. . . Let’s try. If it’s really necessary, I’ll listen to you. When the time comes, just do as you say. Is that Alright?”
Isabelle glanced at the expectant Pu Yunchuan and sighed slightly. “You said it. When the time comes, you can’t go back on your words...”
Pu Yunchuan was overjoyed when he heard that. He patted his chest and promised repeatedly... ...
