The regional storyline had entered the second stage of Liu Xie's Return to the East. Along with it, there was a second time to register and participate in the storyline. There was also a window to replenish soldiers, amplifiers, and logistics.
Yang Rui only had a vague guess about the setting of the storyline window. This was the first time such a situation had occurred in all the previous storylines.
At this time, Yang Rui's food supply had been greatly improved. After looting a few cities around Tong Pass, the food in Tong Pass was enough for Yang Rui's troops to use for about 20 game days.
However, the number of troops Yang Rui brought was insufficient. At the same time, the troop types were very simple. Other than the water soldiers, there were only the Iron Guards who were good at city wall battles. Many times, they limited Yang Rui's movements.
Yang Rui found the storyline window button in the mission interface. After arranging Taishi Ci to be in charge of the defense of Tong Pass, Yang Rui pressed the storyline window button and brought Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao out of Tong Pass.
The storyline window button could also select the person to withdraw from the storyline. After selecting the relevant person, the storyline window would be activated and the person could be brought back to the territory where they registered.
The storyline window opened for one game day. There was only one round trip that could be selected. On one hand, it could bring the person who withdrew from the storyline back to the place where they registered to solve some special situations like Zhang Ning and Han Dai.
On the other hand, the players or NPCs who participated in the storyline could also replenish their troops, resources, and equipment. After some trial and error, Yang Rui quickly grasped how to use the storyline window.
Zhang Ning and Han Dai were confirmed to be pregnant. Naturally, it was not suitable for them to continue participating in the regional storyline. Taking advantage of the storyline window opening, he could bring them back to the territory.
As for Ding Yao, who was also Yang Rui's wife, due to Zhang Ning and Han Dai's withdrawal, it was inconvenient to keep her by his side. Therefore, Yang Rui also brought Ding Yao back to the territory.
Although Ding Yao did not express anything on the surface, she was secretly quite resentful in front of Yang Rui. Compared to returning to the territory, she was more willing to continue staying by Yang Rui's side.
Such trivial matters will not be repeated. Yang Rui used the storyline window opportunity to return to Linzi City. After temporarily settling down Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao, he immediately asked about the situation of the three states during his absence.
Originally, with the Forbidden Army in the six prefectures and Yang Rui not having left for long, Qing Province, Yan Province, and Xu Province were all very calm. There were no abnormalities.
"System Notice: Esteemed player Ardent Sun, due to the influence of the Nine Dragons Whip, the Divine Weapon of the three civilizations, Sky City, the Earth-rank item in your possession, has its attributes restricted. Its functions will be limited to a specific location. From now on, Sky City can only be used in a specific location until the Nine Dragons Whip's influence disappears …"
Through the storyline window, Yang Rui returned to Linzi City. After dealing with his affairs, Yang Rui tried to release some quests from Sky City, but the first thing he received was a system notification.
Originally, Yang Rui thought that the attribute suppression of the Nine Dragons Whip only occurred within the storyline area. However, from the new system notification he received, the situation was clearly not the case. It seemed that Sky City's attributes would continue to be suppressed.
The system notification was very clear. Apart from the designated location, Sky City in other areas would still be affected by the Nine Dragons Whip.
"I choose Big Mountain City …"
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Rui finally chose Big Mountain City. After all, that was where Yang Rui had first established his territory. Yang Rui had deep feelings for it.
Yang Rui also intended to transform Big Mountain City into his own backyard. It would be independent of the various territories that it would later belong to. At the same time, it would also become Yang Rui's ultimate strategic hub.
Today, Yang Rui's strength in the game had been increasing day by day. His influence was also growing stronger day by day. Currently, the area of the three states was gradually stabilizing. Unless there were very special circumstances, Yang Rui did not have to worry about not being able to establish a foothold in the game.
Most importantly, whether it was Sky City or Big Mountain City, in terms of defense and function, they were very suitable for being the rear.
Yang Rui's base was Big Mountain City. Moreover, there was only one road around Big Mountain City that was connected to the outside world. Its defense was very stable. It could also be used to travel from Shrimp Barren Land to the Japanese civilization.
Moreover, Yang Rui had placed many important people in Sky City. He had also placed their family members in Sky City. The combination of the two made Yang Rui's base.
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, you have designated Big Mountain City as the location to use Sky City. Sky City's attributes will be suppressed in Linzi City and cannot be used normally …"
After Yang Rui had considered and determined the location to use Sky City, he received another system notification. However, due to the problem with the location, Yang Rui could not use Sky City in Linzi City for the time being.
For the sake of Zhang Ning and Han Dai's pregnancy, as well as to release some of the remaining NPCs in Sky City, Yang Rui, Zhang Ning, Han Dai, and Ding Yao immediately used the teleportation portal to Juping City. They then used a carriage to travel to Big Mountain City.
Since Sky City, the Flying Carpet, and other items could not be used, Yang Rui immediately felt that it was very difficult for him to travel. However, Yang Rui was used to flying, so using a carriage made him feel much slower.
Big Mountain City indeed needed to build a teleportation portal. In this regard, Yang Rui already had enough technology and materials.
First of all, the Master Carpenter, Jiao Wenzheng, was studying the contents of the Mohist Legacy, which contained records about ancient teleportation portals. Secondly, Yang Rui had also collected some of the Five Elemental Crystals and their substitutes in the Foreign Realm.
As long as Yang Rui could combine the two, it should be possible for him to build a teleportation portal.
With his movements restricted, Yang Rui planned to wait until the storyline series ended before having Jiao Wenzheng start the construction of the teleportation portal.
When Yang Rui arrived at Big Mountain City, Sky City could be used again. Yang Rui first released all the soldiers in Sky City, as well as the Loulan Princesses and other NPCs. He then handed over the control of Sky City to Zhang Ning and the others.
However, when Yang Rui chose to replenish his troops and various resources, he was notified by the system that he could only do so at the initial registration location. In other words, he could only do so in Linzi City.
This situation once again tested Yang Rui's ability to deploy troops and resources.
