518 Newbie Zone, Undying City.
Ling Ye, along with Kiriya, Narissa, Jona, and the others in the grouped action, had all been teleported back to the city.
He lay down on the throne, drinking a few sips of Kiriya's brewed fruit juice.
Ling Ye casually opened the ruins leaderboard to check.
[Elf Ruins National Ranking]
1st Place: Dragon Country, Monster Kill Count - billion
2nd Place: Lighthouse Country, Monster Kill Count - billion
3rd Place: Bear Country, Monster Kill Count - billion
4th Place: Sunrise Country, Monster Kill Count - billion
5th Place: Lizard Country, Monster Kill Count - billion
6th Place...
[Elf Ruins Individual Ranking]
1st Place: Dragon Country [Dark Night], Monster Kill Count - billion
2nd Place: Dragon Country [Lin Kaixuan], Monster Kill Count - 250 million
3rd Place: Bear Country [Katyusha], Monster Kill Count - 240 million
4th Place: Dragon Country [Su Mingjie], Monster Kill Count - 230 million
5th Place: Lighthouse Country [Donald Build Nation], Monster Kill Count - 220 million
6th Place...
There were two leaderboards.
The national ranking, with Dragon Country in first place, was expected.
The individual ranking, with Ling Ye in first place, was also expected.
Everything depended on Ling Ye carrying them, leading by a wide margin.
If not for Ling Ye, the encirclement by enemy countries, led by Lighthouse Country, would have severely damaged the Dragon Country's lords.
Waiting for three minutes, the reward announcement sounded.
[In this Elf Ruins event, the Dragon Country's lords' total monster kill count ranks first, rewarding all Dragon Country lords:]
[1 million Magic Crystals, 1 million Food, 500,000 Wood, 500,000 Stone, Iron Ingots...]
[500 hours of Time Scroll, S-Grade Seed *1, S-Grade Equipment *1. Participating Dragon Country lords receive 10 times this reward, and crops and equipment are upgraded to SSS-Grade.]
[In this Elf Ruins event, the Dragon Country's lord Dark Night's total monster kill count is billion, ranking 1st, with a rating level of Unique God-Tier, receiving the following rewards:]
[500 million Magic Crystals, 500 million Food, 100 million Wood, 100 million Stone, Iron Ingots...]
[20,000 hours of Time Scrolls, God-Tier Crops *5, God-Tier Equipment *2, Exclusive Weapon Blueprint *10, Divine Weapon Core *1, Exclusive Weapon Essence *10,000.]
[In this Elf Ruins event, the Dragon Country's lord Lin Kaixuan's total monster kill count is 250 million, ranking 2nd, with an SSS rating, receiving the following rewards: 20 million Magic Crystals...]
With the rewards in hand, Ling Ye made a killing.
All the lords of Dragon Country also secured a minimum income.
In the cross-server chat:
"Thanks to Dark Night for carrying us, we're once again enjoying the benefits brought by Ling Ye."
"Damn, no wonder the brothers in the 518 area are generally stronger than other areas; it turns out they're being carried by Dark Night!"
"Wuwuwu, I'm also from Sea City, why wasn't I assigned to the 518 area? That way, I could have gotten a minimum income several more times."
"Yare yare daze, why is my Sunrise Country in fourth place?"
"Axi, it's all that damn Dark Night's fault."
"F*ck you, I declare that Dark Night and Dragon Country have become the number one opponents of my Lighthouse Country."
"LOL, number one opponents? Are you worthy? Have you forgotten how Dark Night slaughtered the Lighthouse Country's participating lords in the ruins so quickly? Dark Night ura!"
The lords of various countries continued to discuss.
But Ling Ye had no time to pay attention.
It was already six o'clock in the evening.
Tomorrow, which is the morning of the 32nd day since his transmigration, at 8 AM, the servers will officially merge.
Ling Ye had to convert his resources into strength before then.
With that in mind, Ling Ye checked his warehouse reserves.
Food: billion+
Magic Crystals: 800 million+
Wood: 140 million, Stone: 150 million, Iron Ingots: million, Copper Ingots: million, Silver Ingots: million, Gold Ingots: million, Obsidian: million...
Not bad, a huge profit.
Half of these resources came from ranking rewards.
The remaining half came entirely from exploring the ruins and the spoils of war from killing enemy country lords.
In addition, after a trip to the Elf Ruins, Ling Ye also happily obtained:
God-Tier Crops *13, SSS-Grade Crops *12, SS-Grade Crops *15, S-Grade Crops *21, A-Grade *15.
As for crops below A-Grade, there were over a thousand in total.
But to be honest, Ling Ye wasn't planning to plant them.
Don't ask.
Asking means they're too low-level and not worthy of Ling Ye's status.
Even though Ling Ye already had the Infinite Building perk and could build infinite farms and ranches.
But!
Building and upgrading farms and ranches on a large scale at the same time requires building resources that are no joke.
Even an old landlord like Ling Ye couldn't handle it!
Therefore, all the low-yield crops below A-Grade were sold for Magic Crystals.
He opened the trading channel and put them all up.
He set the price and set it so that only Dragon Country lords could buy them.
After finishing, Ling Ye began large-scale construction.
Because the Infinite Building perk completely removed the building quantity limit, farms and ranches could be built infinitely as long as there was empty space.
So, Ling Ye re-planned the buildings in Undying City.
The Lord's Hall was in the center, as the origin.
All nests were moved to the upper right corner of the hall, which is the first quadrant.
The second quadrant was used to build warehouses, demon vines, and plant the elf mother tree obtained this time.
The remaining third and fourth quadrants were all used to build farms and ranches.
The current Undying City is level 16, with an area of 16,000 meters * 16,000 meters.
The area of the third and fourth quadrants is 16,000 meters * 8,000 meters.
And a farm or ranch, no matter how high the level, has a footprint of 200 meters * 200 meters.
So, if the third and fourth quadrants are filled, a maximum of 3,200 farms and ranches can be built.
If there was no Infinite Building perk.
The building quantity limit for a level 16 territory, without any bonuses, would only be 320.
A mere 320 farms and ranches might be enough for other lords.
But for a solo-the-world, all-in madman like Ling Ye, who aims for development.
It's too small, the pattern is too small.
But what if all 3,200 farms and ranches were filled?
Even if all SSS-Grade crops or livestock are planted and raised.
With the current 850% bonus, the daily output of food can reach 3200 * 100,000 * 850% = billion.
This output is very scary.
But it's not the limit.
Because Ling Ye also has God-Tier crops, and the basic output of God-Tier is 10 times that of SSS-Grade.
Also, Undying City can continue to upgrade, expand its area, and expand more farms and ranches.
As well as upgrading farms and ranches to increase output bonuses.
In summary, once the Infinite Building perk comes out.
It almost perfectly solves the problem of not having enough food that Ling Ye will definitely face in the future.
Moreover, he can continue to be a trade lord.
Increase food production and exchange excess food for Magic Crystals.
Although the monetization ratio will definitely get lower and lower.
But!
A large quantity is all that matters.
Fill it up, just fill it up directly.
Getting off topic, back to the main topic.
After planning, Ling Ye began to expand the farms and ranches.
There were a total of 76 new crops.
This means that Ling Ye needs to build 76 brand new level 16 farms and ranches.
The resources required are massive.
[You built and upgraded 76 level 16 farms and ranches, Wood -140 million, Stone -140 million, Iron Ingots million, Copper Ingots million, Silver Ingots million, Gold Ingots million, Obsidian -950,000, Time Scroll -5966 hours.]
The mechanical voice fell.
76 brand new level 16 farms and ranches rose from the ground.
Then, the diligent Uncle Ling Ye began to sow.
76 God-Tier, SSS-Grade, SS-Grade, S-Grade, A-Grade crops were all bet on in one wave.
The next second, the food production of Undying City doubled, doubled, and doubled again.
God-Tier Crops: 1 million * 850% * 16 = 136 million.
SSS-Grade Crops: 100,000 * 850% * 51 = million.
SS-Grade Crops: 50,000 * 850% * 30 = million.
S-Grade Crops: 20,000 * 850% * 41 = million.
A-Grade Crops: 5,000 * 850% * 30 = million.
A total of million, which is 200 million.
Terrifying, it can only be said to be terrifying.
If I remember correctly, before entering the Elf Ruins, the food production of Undying City was only 70 million+.
After going in once, it tripled.
Ling Ye can be said to have made the most of the Elf Ruins event.
Of course, this is inseparable from Ling Ye emptying the ruins center.
13 God-Tier crops were basically all obtained from the ruins center.
And these 13 God-Tier crops provided Ling Ye with a food production of up to 136 million.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, of the 10 lords who entered the core area.
Only 6 lords obtained God-Tier crops.
And at most, they only obtained one or two.
There's no way to compare with Ling Ye at all.
The gap is widened like this.
