What should he do if he didn't have enough thunderstrike stones?
At that moment, Rorschach was a little scared. He had just found a way, but he didn't have enough materials before he even started. What should he do?
Should he go to the wasteland full of thunderstrikes and force the Eagles, who regarded them as a strategic resource, to hand over more gemstones? He was afraid that the alliance that had just become a little more harmonious would instantly break down. But in the next moment, Rorschach suddenly slapped his head. He was really stupid.
"If it's not enough, go buy it."
So, soon, the purchasing team to Cape Town was ready to set off.
Yes, if it's not enough, go buy it. How simple was that? And the buyer was the imaginary enemy of Cape Town.
It seemed very unreasonable, but in fact, it was completely feasible after some consideration.
Cape Town was the "only" large settlement in the wasteland. The natural thunderstrike stones must be very abundant, and it was also the main production area of man-made thunderstrike stones. If there was a shortage, they would naturally go to Cape Town.
Now that there was no confirmed hostile relationship, even if it was an imaginary enemy, it was a one-sided imaginary enemy. The market was still open, so there was no reason not to buy it.
Even if they couldn't buy it on the official market, there was still the black market. As long as there was a profit of 200 to 300%, those black-hearted merchants would even sell the rope used to hang themselves, let alone a little strategic resource.
But after hesitating for a moment and asking for the opinions of the others, Luo Xiayu added a lot of random things to the list.
Bows and arrows, ammunition for catapults, construction materials, hunting nets, black wood, and other resources that were difficult to obtain in the wasteland. Of course, there were also all kinds of Cape Town equipment, such as the thunderstrike stone spears that he had seen on the battlefield before. They could explode when thrown, and the thunderstrike stone weapons that could summon and control lightning.
As for why he bought these … there was no need to say more.
Although he didn't look forward to war, Rorschach had to admit that it was only a matter of time before Perpetual Moon Town and the Aishi People's target was exposed. Cape Town's last resort was not limited.
But one thing was for sure. As long as the new city was strong, the chances of the opponent compromising would be higher.
The weaker the Aishi People were, the more intense the reaction from Cape Town would be. If the new city seemed to be unable to withstand a single blow, there was a high possibility that they would directly send troops to attack.
"Why don't we take the opportunity to contact some locals in Cape Town?"
In the blueprint of the future, the new city would definitely not just be the home of the Wasteland's Seymour people. That would be unnecessary, and it would easily leave behind a hidden danger of having strong guests and weak hosts.
Rorschach had also stayed in Cape Town for some time. It was no secret that there was a huge difference in living standards between the inner city and the outer city. The residents of the outer city could be recruited.
If they could recruit some local residents in advance, they would have a lot more information about what might happen next.
After hesitating for a moment, Rorschach gave this suggestion to his Divine Sister and waited for the Big Bosses to make the final decision. After that, there was no need to worry about it.
This was not the Game Church, so it was impossible and unnecessary for them to do all the work. Rorschach also felt that he had interfered too much as Lori's spokesperson.
Shaking his head, Rorschach put aside the work that had been getting more and more annoying. Since everything was going smoothly, he could also do his own things.
In the experimental area located at the edge of Perpetual Moon Town, there were busy researchers everywhere. These days, Rorschach was considered a permanent staff member in order to prepare for the new technology.
But other than business, Rorschach was not without selfishness.
"There are so many famous and great craftsmen here. It should be a small problem to help design and build a Magic Armor."
Rorschach was very realistic. He had the right not to expire. From the beginning, he had his own plans and hoped to be able to complete his own Magic Armor.
But unfortunately, Lori's reputation had its limits. Most of the high-level engineers and researchers were busy trying to solve the problem of lightning strikes. None of them had the time to help Rorschach complete his own Magic Armor design.
If Rorschach used Lori's status as the leader to forcefully give orders, it would affect the normal progress of the new Magic Armor. This would greatly affect the reputation of the Unity and the Game Church. Rorschach also didn't want to affect the progress of the entire project because of himself.
As for those who could be persuaded by Rorschach's status as the "temporary leader", it wasn't that they didn't have the skill level, but that he didn't dare to give his own Magic Armor to them … For example, goblins, goblins, and goblins.
Naturally, Rorschach's plan to borrow a chicken to lay eggs was temporarily put on hold.
But now, a wicked idea suddenly flashed through his mind. It seemed that he didn't need to go overboard in order to legitimately create his own Magic Armor. Not only would this not affect the progress of the entire project, it would even speed up the process.
"… There's actually such a method! If it's done well, it can even increase the reputation of the Game Church and strengthen our right to speak in the Alliance. "
And so, he turned around and ran back to the research lab that he had just walked out of.
"Everyone, I have a suggestion …"
When the bell tower of Perpetual Moon Town rang 12 times, the light sources in the town began to flicker. Due to the magical fog's interference, sound and vision couldn't be transmitted normally. This was a signal that made everyone happy.
"… It's lunchtime. Rest for two and a half hours before we continue working."
The third cafeteria was a special cafeteria for the descenders of Perpetual Moon Town. It was also a place where the descenders of the Game Church were accustomed to eating.
Everyone was used to enjoying lunch while exchanging information and chatting to relieve boredom.
After the May Rain mercenary group arrived, a few new companions appeared at the dining table, which caused quite a few new jokes to be made.
In the past, in order to avoid affecting others, the diners here would maintain a tacit understanding of whispering to each other. But today, a scream broke the silence of everyone.
"… You signed up for the expansion team?! You're preparing to be the first batch to enter the Thunderseason Wastelands? Do you think that your life is too long?! "
Ariel's face was full of surprise as she unleashed her dragon's roar. The entire cafeteria could probably hear her scream. Rorschach, whose ears were numb from the sudden attack, could only helplessly smile bitterly and shake his head in denial.
"Don't worry. Although there's some risk in piloting the experimental machine, I'm still very confident in my ability to protect myself."
Yes, this was Rorschach's suggestion.
The first batch of explorers would definitely be piloting the new lightning-resistant machine into the wastelands during the thunderstorm season. And these machines would definitely be constantly improved. If Roland mixed in and made some contributions, he would be able to secure a spot as an exploration pilot. It shouldn't be difficult to obtain a personal machine.
Moreover, as the "God's Relative" of the leader of the Alliance, Roland joining the first batch of explorers with high risks was in itself a type of role model. The political benefits would be quite high.
Since it was a good thing for both public and private interests, why not?
[Isn't it said that in order to increase the survival rate, the first batch of descenders must be lightning elementals users?]
Don't misunderstand. This special way of speaking didn't belong to Lori who already knew about this. Instead, it belonged to another descender from the Game Church who used a special way to express her opinion.
"… Actually, every time I see you talking like this, I feel a little awkward …"
The person in front of me who was carrying a square card to express her opinion was a charmingly naive black-and-white bear. Meanwhile, "she" was wearing a red and white bow tie and a napkin. She was currently concentrating on the table and carefully using her large bear claws to cut her steak.
"… Actually, although I've seen you many times, every time I see you eating, I feel even more awkward, Su Xinqi …"
[That's prejudice! Pandas can eat meat as well. Besides, can you even find some bamboo for me in Ansorenne? That's obviously more difficult. Hmph, you're complaining about a lady's eating habits again. I've already seen through your evil thoughts. Even if you starve me to death, you still won't become the next national treasure.]
That's right, this giant panda before me was Su Xinqi who had transferred from the May Rain Squadron to the Game Church.
As for why her descender body was like this, that was a long story … But honestly, Rorschach really didn't dare to offend her. In fact, he didn't even dare to make her unhappy.
As the number one mascot of the Game Church … Fine, it should be the mascot of all Aishi Saul, after a few reports, Ansorenne's "Chichi" mysteriously became one of the top ten celebrity descenders in all of Saul.
Making Su Xinqi unhappy was the same as offending the majority of female members, animal lovers, children, druids, and Beifeng believers … Cough, not counting the last one who sneaked in.
Ariel, who was originally surprised by Rorschach's choice, saw that she had become cheerful and confident (?) Ariel's good friend also smiled.
Back in the silver elf generation, the high and mighty superior elves always talked about pure-blooded and noble bloodlines. They would always call half-blooded elves and wild elves bastards, and treat "wild beasts" like wild beasts. It was obvious what would happen even if one didn't think.
Perhaps Su Xinqi's choice to leave the silver elf society was due to her descender body, who was destined to be out of place, giving her a huge push.
[You still haven't answered my question. Why did they approve your request? Even a powerful individual like Big Sister Isabella was kicked out. Did you open a backdoor and make them lower their standards?]
At this moment, not only did my companions' ears perk up, even my neighbor's attention was focused on Rorschach. However, Rorschach shook his head.
"Isabella probably only gave me the monthly tribute because she cared about the bonus. But now, it's gone? Just how much did she pay? Even though the Blood Tribe has the weakness of lightning … Cough, I'm not keeping you in suspense. Actually, I didn't open a backdoor. I simply met the requirements. "
Everyone's looks of disbelief caused Rorschach to chuckle.
He lightly clapped his hands and opened them. The next moment, lightning flashed on his empty hands.
This was only the beginning. The sound of thunder suddenly echoed throughout the cafeteria. Meanwhile, on Rorschach's hands, lightning flashed and formed a network of thunderstorms. Dark clouds even appeared, accompanied by thunderstorms and torrential rain.
