Chapter 2064 Not working?

"A fourth force?"

After hearing Guild Leader Zero's speculation, Greenland was extremely troubled. Although she was grateful for Guild Leader Zero's honesty, they didn't have enough manpower to pay attention to the elusive "Fourth Force" at the moment.

"Based on the usual pattern, I estimate that the mysterious multi-horned hybrid will appear when we conquer the City of Original Sin. Perhaps he has been observing us in secret all along. As for whether he is friend or foe, there is no evidence yet."

The guild leader shrugged, deftly passing the buck to Greenland, who only needed to focus on playing the role of a sharp blade.

"No matter what the purpose of this fourth force is, its ultimate destination is definitely the Great Beast God's Flame Cup. To be reborn in the fire and transform into the Great Beast God, one must go there. To extinguish the flames left behind by the Great Beast God, one must also go there."

“We just need to focus on our own tasks. Our priority right now is to wipe out the main force of the Pride, Wrath, and Envy Orcs.” Greenland rubbed his temples, focusing his attention on the map.

"You're here to ask about the start time of the campaign, right? Don't worry, we've taken your difficulties into consideration and chosen a time when you're both available to log on."

"Of course, if you have any service industry jobs or work for unscrupulous manufacturers, then I can't help you."

"We will make adjustments on our end to ensure that all devices that can be launched are launched."

"I hope you can do it. We don't have enough high-end combat power here. You know, asking others for help would be a lot of trouble."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Guild Leader Zero, Greenland and Guild Leader Zero parted ways. Guild Leader Zero had to make arrangements for the guild members, as well as hand over the spoils of war as shared resources for the guild.

There's a lot more going on in Greenland. The Child of the Crescent Moon is already in the most suitable location calculated by the forger, in a huge circular canyon.

Using these natural environments, they can conceal their presence while ensuring that the three groups of Sinful Orcs can only attack from one route.

The location was chosen not only because of its easily defensible terrain, but also because, if the barbarian orcs wanted to complete the Great Red Dragon Totem, they had to break through this canyon to make the Great Red Dragon Totem cross tectonic plates and meet the basic requirements of a mythical totem.

With these factors in mind, the savage orcs had many reasons to attack.

However, the arrival of the Sons of the New Moon does not mean that the battle can begin immediately; there are still many things that need to be planned and arranged.

Relying solely on the Sons of the New Moon would be too overconfident, so a continuous stream of artifacts from the Age of Gods were transported over and placed around the canyon. This was also to prevent the physically strong savage orcs from haphazardly climbing in from all directions to attack.

Besides that, the most important part is the feng shui layout of the buildings constructed by novice players.

With squads of heroic warriors with an average level of LV120 or higher patrolling back and forth, the predicament of "I demolish and rebuild, and you demolish and rebuild right after me" with the barbarian orcs has finally been escaped, and the construction progress of the feng shui layout has increased significantly.

While it's not yet possible to completely restore and transform the environment around the dragon veins in the entire orc territory, initial results have been seen, especially with the use of building materials produced from the legacy of the evil god, which has yielded very noticeable effects.

New players have also realized the benefits of building materials, mainly from the points and reputation rewards. As a result, more and more people are using the lottery machine to obtain building materials, which in turn increases the demand for them.

In order to prevent the gacha pool from being emptied by new players, it is necessary to increase the purchase of Evil God's Legacy.

This is where things get a little tricky. Although the legacy of the evil god belongs to Asgard, the actual operation is contracted out to [Hermes's Travelling Hat], and mining requires negotiation with [Hermes's Travelling Hat].

Normally, this wouldn't be a difficult task; Hermes's Traveling Hat wouldn't refuse to support such a major event, considering it a way to leave a good reputation in the orcish territory. However, the problem is that it's not just the orcish territory that needs the materials from the Evil God's Legacy. The purpose of developing the Evil God's Legacy is to produce building materials as basic rewards in the Olympiad, to be provided to participating villages and towns for environmental improvements.

The orcish territory now requires more building materials than it needs. If this continues, either the building material rewards for the Olympia tournament will decrease, or the balance of the five elements within the legacy of the evil god will be broken due to over-exploitation.

Neither of these outcomes is a good one.

"This is not what we agreed on, and not every problem can be solved with money."

Faced with Greenland's somewhat humble request for more, Herbie sighed, resting his chin on his hand, looking just like a gangster in a movie using words to exert pressure.

The problem is that Herbie is stating an objective fact: there's an old saying in the countryside, "Grain is a harder currency than gold."

When there is no shortage of food, gold is of course more valuable, but when there is a shortage of food, no amount of gold can buy a single grain of rice. The reason is that gold cannot make food grow from the earth.

No matter how much exchange of benefits humans engage in, the earth and the natural ecosystem simply act according to their own rules, producing only what they are told to produce.

The same applies to the legacy of the evil god; the rate at which the five elements generate each other is fixed, it's just that fast, and if it can't be done, it simply can't be done.

But Greenland is also a seasoned explorer; they've basically reached the far north, and even a fool could guess what's going to happen next.

"I think we won't be given any side quests at this time, asking us to find treasures that can bring a bountiful harvest to the land."

Herbie smiled without saying a word, yet it was as if he had said everything.

"Thanks a lot."

……

Blazer, unsure how to face Herbie because of the bikini incident, squatted by the door waiting, and then saw Greenland walking out looking dejected.

Greenland said nothing, but squatted down beside him, holding an egg roll between his hands, looking melancholy.

"No?"

“Alright, Herbie is even willing to temporarily suspend supplies to the Olympia tournament and prioritize helping the orc territory overcome this difficulty.”

"Oh, isn't that a good thing?"

"But she didn't say what she wanted in exchange."

"Isn't that terrible?" Blazer broke out in a cold sweat.

This is probably the most troublesome situation: after troubling someone, when you ask what you need as compensation, the other person's answer is, "Just give me whatever you think is appropriate."
