Chapter 200: Du Wushuang's Good Luck
Dispersed Immortal Garden Warehouse No. 9.
Gu Xi and Du Wushuang stood in front of the warehouse.
The warehouse manager, Kern, was looking at the two delivery slips handed over by Gu Xi.
Kern had some impression of Gu Xi because Gu Xi had taken ten building design drawings directly from him.
This time he wanted twenty more. Was he planning to do wholesale?
Kern grumbled in his heart but didn't ask much. After glancing at Gu Xi, he coldly said,
"Wait here."
After saying that, Kern directly entered the warehouse. Shortly after, some statue-like beings pushed heavy boxes out.
These boxes contained Gu Xi's supplies.
Since these were crucial for his future city construction, Gu Xi couldn't afford to be careless.
After the statues put down the boxes, Gu Xi quickly opened them and checked each one.
"Negative energy, the number is correct, food, the quality is only average, these herbs are the most common, the wood isn't cut well..."
In a series of muttering checks, Gu Xi finally finished inspecting the supplies in front of him.
Although there were various problems, the quantity was correct.
No matter how unhappy Gu Xi was, he couldn't demand an exchange based on incorrect quantities.
Fortunately, Kern soon brought out the twenty building design drawings Gu Xi wanted, immediately attracting their attention.
Looking at the twenty boxes on the ground, Gu Xi glanced at Du Wushuang, his eyes clearly saying: "Girl, you go ahead, let's see your luck."
Du Wushuang didn't hesitate and opened a box, then exclaimed excitedly, "Gu Xi, come and see, how's my luck?"
Gu Xi leaned over to look inside and found a small lump of soil covered with a faint blue aura.
[Haunted Mine - Crystal Design Drawing (Medium): Use 500 resources, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of wood to build a Haunted Mine - Crystal (Medium Building) in the city, producing 1 unit of crystal daily (upgradable).]
Seeing this, Gu Xi smiled and said to Du Wushuang, "Not bad, you can even get this, your luck is extraordinary. Come on, keep going!"
Without Gu Xi's explanation, Du Wushuang knew she had got something good and laughed happily.
"Should I continue?"
"Of course, you keep going. The more of these mines, the better. Then I can brag about having a mine at home."
"Hahaha!"
Hearing Gu Xi's words, Du Wushuang laughed out loud.
But she didn't stop her actions and quickly opened another box.
This time, it wasn't a medium building design drawing but a small one, still of good quality.
When Gu Xi looked over, he found a piece of iron inside the box.
[Steel Gate Design Drawing (Small): Use 200 resources and 10 units of metal to build a Steel Gate (Small Building) in the city. The gate can be equipped with three defense sets (upgradable).]
Another gate.
Gu Xi was quite pleased.
Given his current city's strength, he could only place gates on the battlefield.
In the battle of the Undead Scourge Formation, Gu Xi discovered a weakness in his city's ability. With only one gate, he was defending it instead of quickly mobilizing troops through it.
If Gu Xi had two gates in the last battle, he could have placed one inside the Undead Scourge Formation to guard the token and another outside to fight the White Walkers.
He wouldn't have left so many undead outside the formation in the end.
"Gu Xi, what's wrong? Did I not get a good one?"
"No, the more gates, the better. These are good things."
Seeing she didn't get anything wrong, Du Wushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. But she was still hesitant about whether to continue opening the boxes.
Gu Xi noticed Du Wushuang's concern and quickly explained the situation.
After that, Du Wushuang was less conflicted. After all, as a death knight who could carry Gu Xi directly, she was thick-skinned and wouldn't dwell on such matters for long.
After opening two boxes, she got into the rhythm and quickly opened all the boxes on the ground.
Gu Xi followed behind, looking at the items in the boxes. He had to admit that Du Wushuang's luck was better than his.
Among the eighteen boxes, there were three building design drawings that Gu Xi found particularly enticing, and two more that Gu Xi wasn't sure how they were opened.
[Plunder Hall Design Drawing (Small): Use 300 resources, 10 units of stone, and 10 units of metal to build a Plunder Hall (Small Building) in the city. After each battle victory, gain an extra 250 corresponding resources.]
[Witchcraft Secret Room Design Drawing (Medium): Use 500 resources, 10 units of stone, 5 units of metal, and 5 units of herbs to build a Witchcraft Secret Room (Medium Building) in the city. Magic research and learning speed of the Magic Tower increase by 50%.]
[Eternal Enslavement Altar Design Drawing (Medium): Use 500 resources, 10 units of stone, 10 units of wood, and 1 unit of mercury to build an Eternal Enslavement Altar (Medium Building) in the city. After each battle, 50% of our undead corpses will automatically return to the altar, and you can re-recruit them by paying 50% more than the recruitment price.]
These three buildings had different meanings for Gu Xi.
After building the Plunder Hall, Gu Xi could gain extra negative energy after each battle. Although it's only a little, it's a way of accumulating over time.
The Witchcraft Secret Room was dedicated to the Magic Tower. Gu Xi knew that once the Magic Tower was built, it wasn't just a place for players or heroes to learn magic.
It could also train various levels of mage troops and allow them to learn the recorded magic.
Such buildings that could accelerate magic research and learning were rare in any city. Opening this was a sign of Du Wushuang's incredible luck.
The Eternal Enslavement Altar was particularly for necromancers.
When necromancer's subordinates die, they can use the summoning spell again.
But most necromancers rarely do this because the success rate of the summoning spell is low, and summoned skeletons are only level 0. There's no big difference between using your subordinates' bodies and the enemies'.
But the Eternal Enslavement Altar was different. It could recover half the corpses, and paying a fee would revive them at their original level. This was a great way to restore combat power.
If Gu Xi had this building earlier, his combat team wouldn't have been wiped out. Therefore, Gu Xi was very concerned about the Eternal Enslavement Altar.
