Chapter 266: Discovering the Infiltrators
Seeing this list, Lorne could not help but sigh.
The large guilds in these dark areas were really too crazy.
After all, this event had only been open for a few hours, but they had already invested more than a hundred million dollars!
However, that was not the greatest investment.
What truly made the large guilds spend a lot was the investment of tens of thousands of players to help build the Cold Desolate Dragon City. These players were almost unable to raise their levels during this period of time. This was the greatest investment for a large guild.
But in order to obtain the City Creation Token, they were forced.
From the income obtained after the opening of the Cold Desolate Dragon City, they had already seen the value of a territory. A City Creation Token that they had obtained in advance was the seed of wealth. As long as they could obtain this seed, after a period of time, this seed would bring unimaginable wealth to the guild.
As a large guild, all of them had huge ambitions. Even if they knew that they were doing this to work for Tyrant, they had to fight for it without regard for their own safety. Only by staking everything could they break through the encirclement of the strong army and become the strongest in the world!
In fact, even if they failed, they would not lose out.
Other than the first place who could obtain the Guild Establishment Token, the others on the ranking could also obtain a Platinum equipment as a reward. This was an extremely rare reward for the current players. After all, Platinum equipment was not yet popularized.
In addition, the contribution points could also be used to exchange. In the contribution point shop that Lorne had set up, there were dozens of Platinum items, hundreds of Gold items, and more than a thousand Silver items. These items were high-grade resources that had to be fought for in a guild with a large population.
These thousand items were enough for these players to spend contribution points.
Even solo players who could not afford high-grade equipment could use their contribution points to exchange for useful Bronze equipment or VIP-level to unlock t.i.tles.
These VIP t.i.tles could allow them to obtain a lot of benefits in the Cold Desolate Dragon City. For example, a number of free teleportation uses, discounted purchases, and so on. In short, they could earn whatever they exchanged.
Moreover, Lorne had set a very important rule.
That was the contribution point exchange system!
Last time, because of the system’s customized points system, points could not be exchanged in the event. Other than Lorne, the other players only had less than 2 million points.
This time, Lorne opened the contribution point exchange system!
In this way, the contribution points in the hands of all the players could be sold on the market like gold coins.
This was also the main reason why those large guilds sent tens of thousands of people to Cold Desolate Dragon City to do an event.
Compet.i.tion was the key to Lorne’s wealth.
In the current Cold Desolate Dragon City, other than a few million people, there were at least 500,000 players helping with construction work.
The previous two million workers had completed the repair of the Cold Desolate Dragon City. The rest were the living areas that Lorne had planned. The construction requirements for these buildings were not that high, but the workload was huge.
Originally, there were not many buildings in the Cold Desolate Dragon City, most of them were empty s.p.a.ces. However, to plan these empty s.p.a.ces into commercial areas, the construction work here was huge.
Even if there were hundreds of thousands of players partic.i.p.ating in the construction, it would take a long time to complete all of this.
“I have to go to the Gnome Mineral Company to purchase a batch of ordinary building materials.”
Lorne looked at the resource consumption in the territory. It would consume about 10-20 million resources per day. Although Iron Skull City was still providing them, it would not last long.
Previously, when Ansare had given him the [Resource Mobilization Token], he had said that Iron Skull City would help Cold Desolate Dragon City complete the basic infrastructure.
These words could be used as an excuse to repair the Cold Desolate Dragon City and end the resource support operation.
Now that Ansare had not made a move, it should be that he did not know about the current expenditure of the warehouse. If he knew that the warehouse in Iron Skull City was losing tens of millions of supplies every day, he would probably immediately investigate the entire situation.
At that time, Iron Skull City would definitely stop providing supplies.
Then, Lorne would have to rely on himself.
Only he could store enough resources to truly build the city.

[Territory Resource Warehouse Store]
Food: 120.91 million units.
Wood: 137.1 million units.
Stone Materials: 135.65 million units.
Steel: 147.1 million units.
Crystal: 1.43 million units.
Sulfur: 1.39 million units.
Mercury: 1.27 million units.

This was the current savings in the territory.
Compared to Iron Skull City, the difference was like heaven and earth.
As a main city with a long history, the internal resources of Iron Skull City had already acc.u.mulated to a terrifying level. Even 100 million wood was not a problem.
However, this was a huge problem for the Cold Desolate Dragon City.
Most of these resources were contributed by the players. The top ten players on the leaderboard contributed at least half of the resources.
All of this was thanks to the City Creation Token he had obtained in Iron Skull City.
To be honest, if not for this token, the players would not be so crazy.
Fortunately, he was far-sighted.
Everything in the city was progressing well.
The only thing he needed now was time.
Cold Desolate Dragon City was located in the ruins of the war. It was estimated that it would soon be attacked by the Dark faction, which was a problem that Lorne was more worried about.
As he was thinking…
Suddenly!
Several red dots appeared on Lorne’s main city map.
Ding!
“Game Announcement: Your Light Knight has discovered four players from the Dark faction outside the city!”
A system notification suddenly appeared in front of Lorne.
This made him curious.
This was because the Light Knight was guarding the city wall of the inner city. However, the players from the Dark faction were not in the city.
“So it’s at this location…”
The location of the Cold Desolate Dragon City was very special. There was a cliff near the Cloud Top Hall. If one counted the height of the Cloud Top Hall, the entire height would exceed a thousand meters. Moreover, the cliff was almost vertical. No one could climb up here.
However, because the city’s range was huge, there was a small loophole in this place.
In the corner of the city wall behind, there was a small area. The outer wall was very close to the inner wall. Just now, the Light Knight had walked to the edge and happened to detect that someone was lurking here.
It had to be said that these guys were really smart. They really found a place that could be as close to the inner city as possible outside the city.
Seeing this, Lorne immediately rushed to the scene.
