”Mn, give me five minutes.”
”Okay!”
After dispatching He Yi temporarily, I ordered the Dark Knights and Umbra Sharpshooters to carry the resources. Their value couldn't be understated because this might be the last time resource mobs sp.a.w.ned around the territory. After that, I traveled back to Dark Moon City. It cost 30k of each resource type for the city to upgrade to Rank 3, and thankfully, we had met the requirement after a couple of days of development. Dark Moon City's productivity was pretty good, especially since I spent all available resources recruiting Dark Insects. It was pointless to recruit any troop that was Rank 6 or below because they were only going to die in a territory war or something.
Upon arriving at Dark Moon City, I checked its latest stats and noted that everything was going quite smoothly. After nearly 24 hours of non-stop production, the Nest of Corruption had sp.a.w.ned a ton of Dark Insects. It had been many days since the day Dark Moon City came to be, and its productivity had reached a terrifying point—
Dark Moon City (Lord: Broken Halberd Sinks Into Sand)
Rank: Rank 2 Undead Castle
Gold Production: 3000 per hour (+50%)
Wood Production: 3000 per hour (+0%)
Stone Production: 3000 per hour (+0%)
Crystal Production: 1840 per hour (+0%)
Dark Insects: 1084
Buildings: 14
Troops: 321
Wall Durability: 200
Teleportation Formations: 2
……
I clicked the option to upgrade the undead castle to rank 3. Now that all the construction quests for the day were complete, I could leave the minor tasks such as grinding resource mobs to Xu Yang, Murong Mingyue, Chaos Moon, and the rest. They had the power to hunt surrounding monsters because they had been granted a small amount of control over the territory.
I crushed a return scroll after everything was complete.
Swhoos.h.!.+
After appearing at the eastern plaza of Sky City, I ran to where the cla.s.s trainers were and found a beautiful female knight sheathing her sword at the distance. She smiled at me and said, ”Finally!”
”Mn. I was finis.h.i.+ng up some tasks at the guild territory!”
I walked up to her and asked, ”It's about Barrier Break, isn't it?”
”Ah? You know it already?” He Yi looked astonished.
I chuckled. ”Of course I would know something like this. How much Strength do you have right now, Eve? And how much more do you need?”
He Yi checked her stats before replying, ”I'm a 4-Strength 1-Stamina magic knight, so I don't have too much Strength. My current Strength is 1276. Which one of your items adds a lot of Strength, Lu Chen?”
”Hmm, let's see. You still lack 124 Strength, so… the Soul Suppressing Cloak adds 145 Strength, the Silver Dragon Ring adds 125 Strength, and the Battle Soul Poleyn adds 125 Strength. Is that enough?”
”Give me a second!”
He Yi closed her eyes and performed a mental calculation inside her head. In less than two seconds, she opened them again and replied with a smile, ”Yes, it's enough. Please let me borrow your equipment for a moment!”
”Okay!”
I took off my equipment and pa.s.sed it to her. He Yi was Level 125 right now, so she could equip all of them without problems. A flash of light later, He Yi officially picked up the skill Barrier Break. It was an amazing skill that greatly increased a player's attack power and dealt an incredible amount of damage. Its cooldown was also the same as my Universe Break's, 6 seconds. This meant that the skill could be used very frequently. It was absolutely a war G.o.d–tier of skill.
”Oh right, is there anyone else in the guild who hasn't learned it yet?” I asked.
He Yi shook her head. ”I don't know. Why don't you ask them yourself? I need to go to Dark Moon City and sort out the rewards for the Coldblade War…”
”Okay, see you later!”
……
I checked my equipment for a bit. In total, my equipment added a total of 1057 Strength to its wearer; 343 Strength short of the requirement to learn Barrier Break, 1400. This meant that I could help any fighter learn Barrier Break as long as they were Level 120, and they dropped at least 3 points into Strength per level up!
My mind made up, I checked the levels of all fighter players in the guild before sending Gui Guzi, Li Chengfeng, High Fighting Spirits, Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Xu Yang, and Chaos Moon a message: ”If you want to learn Barrier Break then come to the cla.s.s skill training center right now! I'll be waiting!”
These six players were the core of Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, so I saw a need to bolster their strength. Barrier Break was the trump card of all Level 120 fighters. They couldn't afford to skip it. My job here was to lend them my equipment so that they could meet the Strength Requirement to learn Barrier Break.
