After the four met up, they sorted out their recent gains and matters concerning the Duobao Trading Network, and then flew together towards the designated location.
Along the way, they encountered many talented lords, all of whom came from wasteland planets. It was clear that everyone had received the news and were leaving Kalan Planet for their next destination.
Along the way, Ye Chen was still discussing the goblin armor with the fat man, but in the end they found that the only way to improve the armor's material was to continuously use high-level materials.
However, the problem of energy overload remains unresolved, which means that the goblin armor can only continuously improve its defense by using high-end materials, but it does not provide any help in terms of propulsion.
Besides this, the intelligent computer proposed by Ye Chen also became a major challenge.
Leaving aside the intelligent AI from the anime of my previous life, even products like computers are difficult to create given the conditions of the trial world, so many ideas have to be put on hold for the time being.
"No matter what, at least your goblins have Tier 3 combat power, which is pretty good among the lords. If you bring out a few hundred of them, even an elf like Simeng would be no match for you!" After racking his brains without finding a solution, Ye Chen could only console himself with these thoughts.
"That's true, but we have a lot of people! Raising a few hundred won't affect development at all. It's just that these things are slow to manufacture. It takes hundreds of goblins three days to make one. It's full of intricate parts!" the fat man said helplessly. Insufficient production capacity is also a major problem restricting the development of goblin armor.
"That's your problem. Take your time, optimize the manufacturing process, and production capacity will eventually increase!" Ye Chen shrugged. He had already mass-produced magic crystal bombs and multi-treasure trading discs, so goblin armor was just a matter of time.
However, with the upgrading of materials, the manufacturing difficulty of goblin armor will continue to increase, and the production capacity of high-end armor will never be too high. As for the final envisioned star mech, it will be even more difficult to manufacture.
"Hey, take it slow. There's always a market for this stuff, right?" the fat man sighed, speaking confidently.
“That’s true. There are always lords of low-ranking clans among the lords. This kind of thing can greatly enhance their combat power, so they won’t have to compromise under the protection of high-ranking lords!” Ye Chen nodded. He could imagine that this would be a revolution among the low-ranking lords.
The four of them continued on their way, discussing the fat man's goblin armor and news about the wasteland planet.
“This planet appeared five days ago. It’s about five times larger than Planet Kalan. Nobody knows how strong the dark creatures on it are. Currently, no one has even broken through to the outer perimeter. Tier 4 creatures are rampant. They’re not something an ordinary lord can handle!” Si Meng recounted the information she knew.
"Then how did you know that this planet is still alive?" Ye Chen asked curiously. How could you know that Earth was alive without even being able to get to the surface of the planet?
"A natural disaster! There are flashes of fire on the planet's surface, it seems to be a volcanic eruption. This would be a catastrophic disaster for the life on the planet, but for a planet, it is the most direct evidence that it is alive!" Si Meng said.
Ye Chen and the others nodded. If that was the case, then it seemed that this planet really was still alive.
Planet Karan is completely lifeless; not to mention volcanic eruptions, its core is completely frozen.
While natural disasters represent a massive cleansing of life on a planet, they are also a manifestation of the planet's will resisting external threats.
If they were to truly die out completely, they would be like the planet Kalan, utterly devoid of life and completely annihilated.
"I hope the will of this planet can hold on a little longer!" Jian Mengyi prayed.
Both she and Ye Chen planted four-leaf clovers in their territories. Although the number was small, as long as they eliminated all the dark creatures on the planet, they could eventually purify it completely.
At that time, a planet that has been revitalized will become the greatest force in resisting darkness, and may even be able to support a large number of organisms.
"How long will it take to get to this coordinate?" Ye Chen asked.
"There's still at least a week's journey ahead, so barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll likely be spending time in the Dark Tide on our way!" Si Meng said helplessly.
The Dark Tide is a monthly ebb and flow in the Trial World. When the tide rises, it is accompanied by the appearance of a large number of dark creatures and an increase in overall strength. This time, if nothing unexpected happens, many Tier 4 creatures should emerge, which will be a huge challenge for the new lords.
"Let's just go on the road then. With our strength, it shouldn't be a big problem!" Ye Chen said nonchalantly.
Goblin armor is very troublesome to manufacture, but the production of magic crystal guns is not low. Thousands of goblins wielding magic crystal guns can launch attacks of level 3 or higher, making it too easy to deal with those dark creatures that are no more than level 4.
"That's all we can do!" Si Meng said, continuing to organize the transaction details on Duobao Trading Network.
The group continued their journey, and several days later, they finally faced the second wave of the Dark Tide.
The concentration of darkness in the entire trial world suddenly increased, and a large number of dark creatures emerged from the darkness, launching attacks on the nearby lords.
Ye Chen and the others also stopped. Although they were not afraid, they did not want to be besieged by the dark creatures one after another, so they simply stopped and waited for the tide to pass.
Although the number of dark creatures will still be considerable, at least they won't be as endless as they are now.
"Everyone, form a group! Angels, dragons, mountain gods, and skeletons on the outside, and other ranged classes in the middle!" Ye Chen commanded. The four of them were surrounded by countless dark creatures.
Even beneath the floating islands, numerous dark creatures were gnawing at them—a phenomenon never encountered during this first high tide.
"Fatty, send your goblin armor to fill the gaps, and all the land gods and mountain gods, go underground and clear out those demon worms!" Ye Chen shouted.
This is a type of worm that lives underground and feeds mainly on rare metals. Once corrupted by darkness, it will devour everything, including the territories of lords.
Fortunately, these creatures are not very strong, mostly ranging from level 1 to level 3, and level 4 ones are already very rare.
Moreover, the number of devil worms is small, and the land and mountain gods are enough to handle them.
The second wave of the Dark Tide, while not significantly boosting its strength, brought a considerable number of unique dark creatures, such as the Demon Worm, which were quite troublesome.
A lord who fails to respond promptly is likely to be eliminated in such an invasion, lose his lordship, and become an ordinary person.
