Chapter 1035: Chapter 242: The Evolution of the Ranged Troops

As the Wolf God, War God, and God of Winter, Yurik doesn’t have any special abilities; he’s mainly known for being reckless, smashing through everything.

You could call him savage, but you can’t say he’s not strong.

He and his wolf pup followers only do two things every day, fight battles and mingle with women in the treehouse tavern.

The Valkyries are the ones who are resilient enough to withstand their antics.

Their pent-up energy often leads them to large-scale battles with demons and green skins.

The number of Spiritual Gems from the blast fall is incredibly vast, including not just Tier Five Spiritual Gems but also a large quantity of Super-Tier Spiritual Gems.

The Tier Six Spiritual Gems alone he displays exceed 600,000 pieces.

This gives a clear idea of just how many battles their Divine Kingdom has fought.

However, this guy is also really daring when it comes to selling; a single Tier Six Spiritual Gem, he’ll sell for 100,000 Spirit Crystal Coins.

Lin Rui would have to be mad to buy such things from him; if it’s just for activating the Radiant Hourglass, the cost-effectiveness of Super-Tier Gems is too low.

Lin Rui still opted to buy Tier Five Spiritual Gems from him.

The activation prerequisite of the Semi-Divine Artifact: Radiant Hourglass has never changed: Tier One Spiritual Gem counts as 1, Tier Two Spiritual Gem counts as 4, Tier Three Spiritual Gem counts as 16, Tier Four Spiritual Gem counts as 64, Tier Five Spiritual Gem counts as 256.

Thus, the higher the tier of the Spiritual Gem, the better the cost-effectiveness actually is.

Super-Tier Gems in the Golden Pansy Domain are mainly used for crafting Clan Badges, and with Audrey’s "Twilight Highlands" trait, it’s sufficient to supply the domain’s basic needs.

The expansion speed of the domain’s forces still can’t keep up with the pace at which she provides gems.

Thinking of Audrey, Lin Rui recalled that he still owed her several billion Spirit Crystal Coins.

There’s no other way; this woman has recently been able to make money.

Continuously investing Territorial Essence into the domain, the Historically Significant trait triggers time and again, and the high-tier Spiritual Gems produced from her Twilight Highlands are all sold to the domain, part of which Lin Rui issued IOUs for.

Of course, the relationship between Audrey and Lin Rui is such that the debt doesn’t really matter; Lin Rui simply didn’t have enough Spirit Crystal Coins, and Audrey generously waved her hand and said she didn’t mind giving all those to Lin Rui anyway. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Back when Lin Rui only had 10,000 Realm Coins, he didn’t hesitate to spend 3,000 on shoes, pajamas, and stockings for her.

Some people rolled their eyes at Lin Rui, thinking he was a fool who spent money indiscriminately.

Now it’s time to reap the rewards.

Lin Rui was always generous with his girlfriend, willing to spend money.

Of course, these things are relative; the character of this girlfriend also needs to be extremely reliable, worthy of entrusting your feelings to.

Audrey is undoubtedly very reliable; her emotional intelligence is high, not only does she buy gifts for Lin Rui but she never sweats the small stuff.

This makes Lin Rui more unwilling to owe her, ensuring she never gets shortchanged.

Lin Rui plans to sell this Wolf God 5,000 Epic Potions. That’s a selling price of 25 million Tier Five Spiritual Gems.

This just makes the Wolf God a bit annoyed, suspecting that Lin Rui is deliberately trying to entice it.

It certainly can’t refuse so many Epic Potions, these are enough to arm half of his Celestial Kingdom Armament.

However, the problem is, it doesn’t have 25 million Tier Five Spiritual Gems!

This number already reaches 64 trillion according to the Radiant Hourglass’s count, enough to activate two-thirds of its progress.

So honestly, this number is a bit terrifying.

If Yurik seriously gathers them, this number might still be achievable, but in one day, there’s no way he can collect so many Spiritual Gems.

This makes him both heartbroken and compelled to display his various precious items, using his specialties to exchange for enough Spirit Crystal Coins.

The first item he displays is the Snow Leopard, a specialty of the Northern Kingdom.

He doesn’t want to sell his wolf pups to Lin Rui, so he settles for bringing out the Snow Leopard, as they are all creatures of the snow plains.

Tier Three Snow Leopards, as Elite-level monsters, although considered a disgrace among Giant Beasts, are still giant beast units, capable of easily tearing apart a Tier One or even Tier Two infantry division. Units like the Black Banner Guards, as frontline infantry, without strategic bonuses might not necessarily beat a Snow Leopard.

However, a monster of this level is merely part of the Archer’s accompanying firepower support system in the Golden Pansy Domain. In other words, it exists at the same level as the Porcupine, as a remote archer’s pet.

It has one crucial trait: [Ice Maiden’s Kiss: The Snow Leopard, once trained, can be used to protect females in the Ice and Snow Royal Court. They exhale the purest cold, forming a frosty ground, upon which standing domain females will have their damage gradually borne by the Snow Leopard; the more the ground solidifies, the greater the carried ratio, ultimately up to 50%].

This allows it to help archers endure a substantial amount of damage.

With the strengthening of Master of Armaments Burton, the equipment on battle pets has become increasingly precise and heavy.

The XT-15 High-speed Vibranium Missile Launcher has now been upgraded to the XT-130 Heavy High-speed Vibranium Sniper Cannon.

Here’s a counterintuitive military fact: cannons generally have greater precision than sniper rifles, with tank main cannons possessing fire-control radars capable of outperforming sniper rifles in accuracy.

Fire-control main cannons can accurately hit moving targets at a distance of 3,000 meters, whereas sniper rifles generally have an effective range of only a few hundred meters, with their extreme sniping range being just over 2,000 meters.

Moreover, this 2,000-meter sniping is largely based on guesswork and cannot be repeated, meaning that a sniper shooting at the same target at the same location again would have an almost zero chance of hitting, as a crosswind could send the bullet far off course.
