Chapter 309 - 309 Returning To Aier Mechanical Ruins 2
Lu Yuan looked at Si Tingyu in confusion and smiled bitterly.
“Teacher, what can a rookie like me, who has just entered the warrior-level, do in this battle between the two races?”
“Of course it’s none of your business if it’s a normal situation.” Si Tingyu smiled. “However, both the kobolds and the Red Maple Empire have other enemies. Let’s not talk about the dog-headed people. As for our Empire, you have just returned from the defensive line in the endless Mountains. You should know how tight the situation is over there.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
“The Empire has more than one line of defense like the defense line in the Endless Mountains. In general, we are a little short of manpower. If we really have to fight the kobolds on the Ice Vein star, of course, it is possible. However, if it is not the last resort, the upper echelons of the Empire still hope to save their troops to deal with other dangers, or even more dangerous situations. Do you understand?”
Lu Yuan nodded and came to a realization. “I understand. Although the resources on the ice mai planet are very precious and will speed up the development of our Empire, some areas may affect the safety of the Empire. Should we put our safety first before our development?”
Si Tingyu smiled and nodded. It’s not just us, but the kobolds as well. Both sides had two million troops facing each other on Ice Vein Planet. However, we haven’t really started fighting yet because we’re all restraining ourselves. If this war really started, regardless of the outcome, the strength of both sides would be weakened to a certain extent. At that time, it was possible that they would be taken advantage of. “As such, the higher-ups of the red maple Empire and the Kobold higher-ups are currently discussing a solution through diplomatic means. If negotiations fail, we might start a war. However, if negotiations succeed, we might use other methods to determine the ownership of the Ice Vein crystal mine.”
Lu Yuan’s pupils constricted as he understood something.
“Mentor, are you saying that this other method might be related to me?”
Si Tingyu looked at Lu Yuan, and her eyes flickered. “Lu Yuan, you have a fast reaction. That was indeed the case. If they used other methods, it would probably be a form of martial arts competition. At that time, genius martial artists may be allowed to compete in various forms, and the ownership of the ice crystal mine will be determined by the outcome of the competition.”
Lu Yuan fell silent.
There was actually such a thing.
This put a lot of pressure on him. After all, this was related to the development of the country.
Si Tingyu saw Lu Yuan’s silence and said,
“Of course, this is only one of the possibilities. There are also other ways to determine the ownership of the ice crystal mine. Even if they needed to participate, the dynasty wouldn’t let them work for free. Whether it was rare transcendent genes, Geno weapons, or treasures, they would all be rewarded. I promise you as the Empire’s eldest princess.”
Lu Yuan was taken aback, then he smiled.
“Mentor, it’s not that I don’t want to go. If you really need me, I’m willing to go. I just feel a little stressed.”
Logically speaking, after his predecessor’s family had met with an accident, he would have starved to death if not for the Empire’s support.
If he could help, he would naturally not refuse.
Furthermore, his mentor was the eldest Princess of the Empire.
Upon hearing this, Si Tingyu smiled and said,
“You don’t need to feel too much pressure. I’m not sure yet, so it’s just my guess. Just focus on your cultivation. Come on, let’s continue cultivating steel body.”
Lu Yuan nodded.
…
After Lu Yuan broke through to rank three, the time needed to repair the light door was even longer.
Three days later, Lu Yuan continued to enter the Land of Origin.
Lu Yuan appeared in his rented house.
Today, he didn’t go to the martial arts center. Instead, he closed his eyes and communicated with the invisible thread in his mind.
The next moment, a white light flashed around Lu Yuan. When the white light dissipated, he appeared in a Steel City that stretched as far as the eye could see.
On the streets of the steel city, there were a large number of mechanical guards patrolling. The mechanical aircraft in the sky were like a school of fish swimming in the sky.
The Aier mechanical ruins.
The corner of Lu Yuan’s mouth rose, revealing a smile.
Coming back here was like going home.
Lu Yuan did not take out Black Bear No. 1.
His spirit force surged, and in the next moment, he appeared on the roof of a tall building more than 20 kilometers away.
Spatial teleportation.
In just a few seconds, it had crossed more than 20 kilometers, much faster than the Black Bear No. 1.
Lu Yuan used the space teleportation again and again, and each time, he would teleport more than 20 kilometers.
In a short time, he arrived at a place not far from the central floating city.
His goal in coming to the Aier mechanical ruins was to go to the central floating city and then to the Tier 3 central area.
He wanted to get more resources, and he also wanted a level 3 Geno weapon.
His Geno weapon was a Tier 2 overlord class, which was something ordinary Geno Warriors could only dream of.
But for Lu Yuan, since he was level three, it was common sense to change into a level three Geno weapon.
Yes, it would be best if he had a third-tier King Geno weapon.
After that, he would evolve again and reach the king tier.
He glanced at the huge central floating city in the sky and flickered several times.
Before the Army of aircrafts outside the central floating city could react, they had already arrived inside the city.
This speed was much faster than the Black Bear No. 1.
The only drawback was that the longer the distance, the more spiritual energy it would consume.
If the teleportation was within a 100-meter radius, Lu Yuan’s spiritual power consumption might only be a little.
However, teleporting more than 20 kilometers in one go would almost drain Lu Yuan’s spiritual power.
Fortunately, there were still many spiritual crystals in Lu Yuan’s battle rune space.
It was not difficult for Lu Yuan to replenish his spiritual crystals while teleporting.
Anyway, there was only Lu Yuan here. He didn’t need to hide anything and could just let himself go.
After entering the floating city, Lu Yuan looked at the densely packed high-rise buildings. He had no intention of wandering around the outer ring. After some thought, he decided to go to the 10000-meter-tall building in the outer ring first.
Lu Yuan was actually a little curious. After all, the ruins of Aier mechanical ruins had been opened many times before, and many people had entered the central floating city.
Even if they had not entered the core area of the central floating city, the outer area should have been swept over and over again.
Then why did Lu Yuan and the rest have all kinds of treasures when they came in?
Was it automatically generated by the Land of Origin?
Or was it added by someone else?
Lu Yuan wanted to see if the treasures in the 10000-meter-tall building had been replenished.
After a few teleportations, Lu Yuan arrived at the square of a 10000-meter-tall building.
When he saw that the square was empty, without any mechanical guards or corpses, Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
He took a step forward and his body passed through space. He arrived at the entrance of the 10000-meter-tall building and pushed the door open.
Then, Lu Yuan searched the entire room of the 10000-meter tall building and found nothing.
Lu Yuan could not help but feel a little disappointed.
He had originally thought that the treasures inside had already been replenished.
It seemed that he had not yet.
Of course, it could also be replenished after a period of time.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan would not be able to understand why there were treasures in all the tall buildings every time the Aier mechanical ruins opened.
There was another possibility that Lu Yuan did not want to see.
That was, after the Aier mechanical ruins recognized him as its master, the Land of Origin would not supplement it.
Then he would cry.
Lu Yuan shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
His body disappeared on the spot and was teleported to the central core area.
…
On the streets, a group of Stage 3 mech guards were patrolling.
The space fluctuated and Lu Yuan’s body appeared.
When the stage three mechanical guard saw Lu Yuan, its mechanical eyes immediately turned red.
“Beep! Intruders discovered, executing the purge sequence!”
They ran towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan glanced at them, and the mechanical guards immediately stopped. Then, they knelt down on one knee to Lu Yuan.
“Master!”
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
This mechanical control was indeed useful.
