Monsters Are Coming

Even a player hanging a Void Origin Stone as pure decoration with a price ten times the market rate was bought.

This action sparked a heated discussion on the forum.

One post even went directly into a rant.

[I just want to ask, which damn hoarder is messing up the market by sniping goods at the Trading House?]

What's going on?

In just one day, the price of Void Origin Stones skyrocketed fivefold. I just want to ask, which wealthy hoarder is disrupting the market?

Our Doomsday Technology Guild is currently developing a space storage device to improve the efficiency of mining robots, and the moment I logged on and saw the prices of Void Origin Stones, I was stunned.

What's the point of doing this? Currently, apart from nurturing the growth pet "Mechanical Guardian," there are no other ways to absorb Void Origin Stones.

As for expanding Space Bag slots, it's better to just consume sacrificial power.

The price of Void Origin Stones on the Trading House has long been cost-ineffective. Aren't your actions targeting our Doomsday Technology Guild?

Are you out of your mind? Now there isn't a single Void Origin Stone in the Trading House. How are we supposed to carry on with our research?

The kind of player that hoards waiting for prices to go up is the most annoying, slowing down the development of our Player Faction and earning profits through the price difference. It's disgusting.

You're really irritating; I advise you to quickly list the Void Origin Stones you bought….

...

A post by a member of the Arms Merchant Guild, angrily ranting at hoarding players.

Ah Lan ignored this.

He naturally knew that bulk buying in a short time would inevitably cause a spike in the price of specific spiritual materials.

The most cost-effective way should be to purchase gradually, step by step.

But he has no time.

War in the real world could break out at any moment.

He must establish the Space Transmission Channel as soon as possible to deliver a decisive blow to the invading forces.

Only under the pressure of invasion would the forces on the other side of the Space Rift be too distracted to bother with Earth, shifting their entire focus to combating the players.

So it doesn't matter if it's a bit expensive.

Consider this expenditure as a welfare for players selling Void Origin Stone resources.

As the Star Network suggested, by shifting the approach to issues to serve the Player Corps' growth, the expenditure makes sense.

Ah Lan's bulk buying also brought commotion to the Frost Winter Snow Region.

Many players chose to take risks and head to the Void Peak Node area to face the challenges of the Snow Ridge Wilderness, just to sneakily mine some Void Origin Stones to sell back at the village.

This is the result Ah Lan wanted to see.

Building the Space Transmission Array might fail, and the Void Origin Stones he has might not be enough, so these actions are just perfect for restocking the Trading House.

After purchasing a series of materials, Ah Lan began the busy work of setting up the Space Transmission Channel.

The location was chosen in the western direction of the Colorful Mist Coast, where few players visited and there was ample space to operate freely.

After a long time, Ah Lan and members of the Moon Eclipse Clan stood on the west side of the Colorful Mist Coast, surrounded by a tranquil forest, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

A broad clearing had been cleaned nearby, with Void Origin Stones and other material props placed in the center.

The majority of materials were purchased from the mall.

Ah Lan stood in the center of the clearing, holding a Void Origin Stone, swiftly recalling the knowledge learned over the past few days, and then directed the tribe members to cooperate in setting up the Space Transmission Array.

The first step was simple, creating the basic framework of the Space Transmission Array.

Ah Lan instructed several tribe members to sprinkle Energy Crystal Powder on the ground, weaving a massive circular framework.

The conductivity of the crystal powder is excellent, making it an ideal material for building the basic framework of the Transmission Array.

Items sold in the mall are guaranteed to be premium, with a purity far superior to what foreign tribes produce. Google seaʀᴄh novel•fire.net

The only downside is the higher price.

Then Ah Lan personally started drawing Space Runes on the framework with Spiritual Liquid.

Space Runes are the core of the Space Transmission Array.

If the spiritual materials are likened to paper and pen, the runes are the text written on that paper.

These runes include the Space Stabilizing Rune, Space Attraction Rune, and so on.

Each rune plays a different role when combined with the Transmission Array.

For example, stabilizing space, tearing space.

Every stroke of the runes has to be extremely precise, with Spiritual Liquid flowing on the surface of the ground, gradually forming a complex pattern.

After the initial drawing was completed, he placed a Rift Crystal purchased from the mall at the center of the framework, serving as the core node of the Transmission Array.

Next was placing the Space Anchor Point, which is a kind of liquid crafted by dissolving Void Origin Stone with Ink Flame to inscribe space inscriptions.

With anchor points, one can ensure the exit of the Transmission Array won't deviate from the target.

Each Space Anchor Stone was accurately embedded into the ground, closely connected with the overall framework of the Space Transmission Array.

Upon initial activation testing, energy started flowing in the array, gradually merging with the framework.

After flashing abruptly, it stabilized, returning to calm.

Ah Lan stood at the center of the Transmission Array, analyzing different nodes of the Transmission Array, and would promptly make adjustments to the rune alignment upon detecting issues to ensure an even distribution of energy.

The tribe members assisted alongside, synchronously checking the connection conditions of each node to ensure nothing was overlooked.

After multiple adjustments, the energy flow of the Space Transmission Array gradually stabilized.

But just this was far from reaching the operational standard.

This was merely the simplest deployment of a basic Space Transmission Array.

Next, he needed to engrave more runes to ensure the spatial tunnel generated after tearing space could operate stably.

It's certain that there will be a series of issues in operating the space array they built.

Lacking the corresponding spatial system techniques, a purely manually assembled Transmission Array is far from meeting the passing standard.

The space channel created upon activation will likely have multiple unstable gaps.

This will cause a series of issues during the transmission, possibly even getting swept into a space reverse flow, resulting in death on the spot.

But right now, the most important thing is to apply pressure to the invading forces swiftly.

For a first-time making, having it operational is already good.

The transmission risk problem can't be solved with the current means.

During the first attempt, the Space Transmission Array showed operational instability, then suddenly exploded, creating a Space Rift that swallowed a large amount of spiritual material and quickly healed.

Failure was anticipated; in fact, the structural problems were detected during the analysis scan.

But the materials on the Space Transmission Array had already fused with the rune inscriptions.

To modify them would require re-extracting and decomposing the fused materials, which they currently don't have the technology and equipment to do, so they simply attempted to operate it to see the performance of the Space Transmission Array after operational failure.

The second attempt began quickly.

Learning from the previous failure, this time the arrangement intervals of the Space Rune combinations were changed.

Throughout, Guidance was constantly asked as to which steps went wrong.

But even with Guidance providing clear answers, during the setup of the Transmission Array, Ah Lan experienced hand tremors, causing mistakes in rune inscriptions, ultimately leading to failure again.

The third attempt quickly commenced. With the experiences from the first two times, the process of building the Space Transmission Array went much faster.

After embedding the Energy Baryte, the Space Transmission Array successfully completed initial operation.

With anticipation, Ah Lan and the tribe members initiated the analysis scan towards the Space Transmission Array, and related information immediately emerged in their minds.

[Space Transmission Array (Basic Type)]:

Description: A crude and unstable basic-type Space Transmission Array, made from fundamental space materials like Star Powder, Void Origin Stone, etc. Due to imprecise rune drawing, uneven energy flow, the generated transmission channel contains multiple space gaps upon activation, with a high probability of being swept into a space reverse flow at 54.7%, barely operable, but the transmission risk is extremely high.

Hint: Transmission coordinates not established, cannot tear Space Rift.

...

Seeing the analysis description indicating that the risk of transmission death was as high as 54.7%, Ah Lan and the tribe fell silent.

After a brief hesitation, Ah Lan seemed to understand, nodding solemnly and saying:

"It's not a big problem; it can be put to use. Losing a few players during transmission is normal."
