The appearance of the Dark Bats was like a signal that something was about to happen; every hour thereafter, one or two groups of races from the darkness would appear.
Although their numbers weren't as exaggerated as in the Dark Origin Land, they were still large groups of thousands. If it weren't for Fatty's goblins, Ye Chen's kin would probably be exhausted.
Ye Chen was also aware of this problem and had recently been speeding up the recruitment of his own kind, but it was unrealistic to recruit in large numbers like Fatty.
Moreover, the Silverleaf Moon Elf race has another major problem: all those recruited are female, making it difficult for the race to reproduce on its own.
For example, among the fat goblins, quite a few female goblins have become pregnant in the past month. Given the goblin gestation cycle, he will soon welcome a batch of newborns, which will accelerate the development of his race.
How to ensure the survival and reproduction of the entire clan will be the biggest problem Ye Chen will face.
Otherwise, goblins like the fat man's, with a gestation period of two or three months and a growth period of less than a year, can produce five, six, seven or eight offspring per litter. After a year, the number of goblins they naturally reproduce can be several times that of Ye Chen's group.
Recruiting alone is not sustainable, as there is a limit to the number of people a lair can recruit, and in the end, it often becomes just a landmark building in the territory of each lord.
“Almost all powerful races face the problem of difficulty in reproduction, and can only solve it by waiting for the next nest.” Ye Chen shook his head helplessly.
Let alone procreation, in the primordial world everyone became a god, pursuing the path to immortality. How many of them would actually get married and have children? Ye Chen felt that he could already foresee the hardships to come.
For most new lords, the Dark Tide is an absolutely heartbreaking period, but for Ye Chen and Fatty, it's a time to amass resources on a massive scale.
The dark creatures, which were at most level 3, were no longer a concern for them. Apart from being a little tired, this dark tide had become a resource harvesting machine for the two of them.
As the Dark Tide gradually subsided, the two of them had accumulated tens of thousands of Tier 1 and Tier 2 magic crystals, not even counting the magic crystal bombs that the fat man had used and stored.
As for regular buildings such as workshops, each of them has already placed four or five on their territories, so that almost every type of support profession can have an independent workshop for use.
What pleased Ye Chen the most was the number of territory foundation stones. In just one day, his territory had successfully expanded to 200 acres. It was just a pity that the expansion of territory foundation stones was too slow. If he had a meteorite core, the speed would be much faster.
"Is this near the coordinate point?" After resting for a day, the two finally arrived near the coordinate point given by the God of Fate. However, it was dark all around, and it was not easy to find the coordinate point.
"Yes, according to the map, this is roughly the place!" Ye Chen nodded. After more than half a month of travel, they had finally arrived near the coordinates given by Si Meng. They just hoped that this space had not yet been discovered by others.
"Tsk, it's a pity that Miss Simeng didn't say what kind of clan this lord belongs to? I wonder if my little goblins can handle him?" The fat man rubbed his hands together, looking on with anticipation. He was now increasingly looking forward to the growth potential of the goblins.
With magic crystal bombs and magic crystal guns, he can now face a large number of Tier 3 dark creatures, just like Ye Chen.
If they really get ruthless, they can detonate a large number of Tier 3 magic crystal bombs, and even Tier 4 creatures will perish.
"Come on, let's find the spatial node first. Send your goblins out. Aren't they researching spatial teleportation arrays? Let them go out and look for them, maybe they'll get some inspiration!" Ye Chen said, still thinking about the teleportation array.
“That makes sense!” The fat man nodded and immediately dispatched a large number of goblins to explore. At the same time, he turned to Ye Chen and said, “Speaking of which, it seems they have indeed figured out something about the space teleportation array. Yesterday I saw them, and they were already able to teleport items within their territory!”
"You can already teleport items over short distances?" Ye Chen was taken aback. Despite his constant urging, the progress was much faster than he had imagined.
"Hmm, but it seems unstable. I've seen it fail several times. The teleported items are cut off by the void. It seems there's a problem with the positioning." The fat man nodded and said, as he knew something about his own clan's affairs.
"Location problem? That is indeed a big problem. Other races that are good at spatial magic seem to be stuck here as well," Ye Chen said thoughtfully.
Spacetime is constantly changing, and how to achieve precise and stable positioning within it is a problem that plagues everyone.
This is different from the coordinates they found today. The location of the coordinates will not change, but the time is consistent with the time point they are at.
However, the most difficult part of teleportation arrays is finding stable time and space nodes in a constantly moving and changing territory.
"Let's see. Anyway, I think at least the teleportation arrays that can be used in the trial world should be fast. This efficiency should be much faster than those Star Spirit guys, right?" the fat man chuckled. He never expected that the goblins could be developed like this.
“Indeed, as long as we can get it out before the next high tide, it will be enough for us to make a fortune,” Ye Chen nodded.
With a large number of goblins mobilized and no longer hindered by dark creatures, they quickly found spatial nodes, and soon goblins returned to report.
"Let's go take a look!" The two moved through their territory and soon arrived at the location marked by the goblin. However, it was still dark all around, and they didn't feel anything different.
Suddenly, the fat goblin took out a wooden stick inlaid with magic crystals and stretched it forward. Immediately, the magic crystals on the stick lit up.
"This is a great invention of the goblins! It can find hidden spaces and make darkness nowhere to hide!" the goblin said proudly. The special item was something even the fat man hadn't expected.
"Alright, this is Mina's amateur work!" Seeing that neither Ye Chen nor the fat man spoke, the little goblin lowered its head dejectedly, seemingly saddened by the lack of approval from its lord.
"No! It's amazing. How did you come up with the idea to make such a thing?" Ye Chen said gently, equally curious about the goblin's ingenious idea.
"Really? This is what Mina thought of when she traveled through space last time. Many nodes are hidden. With this, wouldn't it be easy to find these hidden spatial nodes?" Hearing Ye Chen's words, the little goblin became excited and excitedly described his invention.
"Well done! You're from the engineering research side, right? Your citizenship level has increased by one!" The two exchanged a glance, and the fat man immediately rewarded her, as this was part of the class system within his territory.
