Bengtie, sandbox development, how did they run out!

Of course, in addition to using productivity to recruit, you can also spend gold coins or faith points to purchase directly.

Currently, Shen Yi's ordinary combat units are worth 200 gold coins or 200 faith points, while some powerful combat units have a value ranging from 400 to 800.

His current treasury only has 40,000 gold coins in total. If he uses it to buy combat units, it will be completely spent in one go. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't even pay for the maintenance of the units and buildings.

So generally speaking, there is no need to spend gold coins to purchase combat units.

This "game" is about the time it takes to advance each round, and it is not constant. Sometimes each round can skip several years, or even more than ten years, and sometimes it is only a few days.

Especially when advancing the plot and waging war, the time difference between one round and the next is even only a few hours.

Therefore, based on the current progress of Bronya's plot line, it is estimated that with a click of the mouse, time will fast forward to tomorrow.

Although Shen Yi has completed all the functions he can operate in this round, there are still some plots to watch, so he is not in a hurry to click on the next round.

After planning the development, Shen Yi turned the camera back to Bronya.

At this moment, it was already dusk for Yalilo.

Natasha glanced at her watch and warned Bronya, "It's getting late, Bronya. Go back and tell the Great Guardian our purpose and plan."

"I know," Bronya nodded slightly, "Time waits for no one. I'm leaving now."

"This is a difficult decision, Bronya."

Natasha's eyes showed great loss and sadness. She tried her best to remain calm and composed, forcing a smile at the other person:

"But you and I both know that this is the only way for us to preserve the Yalilo civilization and keep it alive. Please convince Cocolia. As long as she agrees, our operation can proceed smoothly.

Otherwise, we might have to pay dozens of times the price and still not be able to rescue the scientists imprisoned in the Upper City..."

"I understand all of this. I will convince my mother. I believe she will agree."

Bronya's eyes were determined.

Seeing this, Natasha nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked, "Finally, I have a rather personal question for you."

"what?"

"Bronya, do you remember living in the downtown area for a while? When you were very young."

"..."

When asked this question, Bronya immediately looked embarrassed.

She had the impression that she lived in the downtown area before being adopted by Cocolia, but her memory of that time was very vague.

According to Cocolia, after adopting her, she had a high fever and almost died. Perhaps the disappearance of those memories was related to that high fever.

Seeing Bronya's awkward expression, Natasha didn't ask any further questions, but said a little mysteriously:

"Forget it if you can't remember. I'll let the most diligent member of "Underground Fire" take you to the blockade line. Her name is Xier, and she's a good kid. But I want to give you a heads-up in advance.

That girl is a bit clumsy and has a straightforward personality, so she often says things without restraint. No matter what she says, don't take it to heart."

"Xie'er..."

Bronya chewed on the name carefully. Logically, this should be the first time she heard it, but for some reason, she always felt that the name was very familiar.

She walked out of the clinic and saw a girl with long dark blue hair and special attire waiting for her outside the clinic.

The moment their eyes met, a familiar sense of déjà vu and vague fragments of memory suddenly emerged and surged in Bronya's mind.

She stood there, trying to grasp something from her memories, but those fragments of memory seemed to come alive, and every time she was about to capture them, they turned into water and slipped through her fingers.

After a brief moment of surprise, Xier walked forward, frowned, looked her over, and snorted, "Are you the daughter of the upper city that the boss mentioned? Tsk, you don't look very smart. Is it really okay to entrust such an important matter to you?"

Bronya's lips moved, and she was about to answer, but the other party shook her head first: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what. After all, we can only rely on you now."

"......"

"Hey, don't just stand there like an idiot. Let's go! At night, those guys will enforce a curfew. There will be patrols everywhere, including those damned Iron Guards. If we leave then, we'll be in trouble."

When she heard the words "damn Iron Guards", Bronya couldn't help but frown.

She knew that people in the lower city had no good feelings towards the upper city, mainly because under the leadership of that group of people, the upper city had implemented a complete blockade of the lower city.

Although Bronya has not come into contact with many people in the downtown area at present, her views cannot represent those of all people in the downtown area.

However, long-term isolated life will inevitably bring about an ice wall and barriers that are difficult to melt, and the problem of misunderstanding between the upper and lower urban areas definitely exists.

Seele took Bronya through the streets of the downtown area. The streets that seemed complicated to Bronya were smooth for Seele.

Soon the two arrived at the last block connecting the lower city to the upper city.

Seele, who was originally walking briskly, slowed down as if she had noticed something. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of some tall figures out of the corner of her eye. She immediately grabbed Bronya's arm and dragged her into the cabin next to her.

"What are you doing..."

Bronya, who was confused, was about to ask the other party what they were doing, but the next second, several monsters with blood-red eyes and scaly eyes that looked like the ones raised by Bu Liren came out from the alley and came to the outside of the wooden house.

There was only a thin layer of wood between the two sides, and Bronya could even feel the vibrations of the creatures outside through the wood.

Those things are monsters born from the star core rift, and they are also the main foreign enemies that invade the upper and lower city areas of Beloberg.

The civilians living in the lower city not only have to bear the heavy exploitation from the Buli people, but also have to deal with the occasional invasions of the Rift Creatures.

It is no exaggeration to say that the residents' territory in the lower city has shrunk so much because of this group of world-ripping creatures.

Their appearance will not only bring substantial threat to life, but also bring unbearable cold waves. After all, if there are only enemy creatures, at least they are tangible objects that can be dealt with.

But if a territory is invaded by an invisible thing like a cold wave, the territory will be forced to be abandoned.

"boom!"

Just as they were thinking about it, a loud noise suddenly came from the wooden house where the two were hiding!

The wooden boards cracked, and cold wind rushed into the house. A creature from the outer world smashed through the wooden boards and rushed in!

"Hold your breath!"

Seele's voice rang in Bronya's ears. Upon hearing it, she quickly stopped breathing. Then, she felt one of her hands being tightly grasped by Seele, and a layer of thick haze as dark as the night instantly covered her body.

Under the cover of this haze, the creature from the world that broke in seemed to have lost its target in an instant and kept wandering around the room.

The two parties were clearly very close to each other, but he just didn't notice where they were.

Half a minute later, the Rift Creature, unable to find its target, gave up the search and left again.

After making sure that the creatures from the rift world had gone far away, Xier restrained her breath, and the foggy haze that enveloped the two of them dissipated.

"It's amazing..." Bronya exclaimed in surprise, "What on earth is this Zeng Wu? How did you do it?"

"I don't know." Xier shrugged. "It must be instinct. I don't know how I do it, but I just can do it."

"Talent? Secret weapon? Or is it because of the infection of the Rift..."

"Think whatever you want. Now is not the time to discuss this. Having this ability isn't a bad thing. At least it allows me to survive on the battlefield.

The Lower Town is full of dangers, and one can die if one is not careful. Do you think we can have the same lackeys to protect us as you, the young lady?"

"You...what are you talking about?!"

"Oh, you know whether I am talking nonsense or not."

"I don't care about you!"

Bronya frowned and subconsciously wanted to leave, but found that her wrist was still tightly held by the other party.

"Let go, why are you pushing so hard? You're hurting me!"

"Tsk, you're so squeamish."

Xier let go of the other person's wrist, walked out of the wooden house first, and looked at the street.

After making sure there was no danger, she waved to Bronya, signaling her to follow.

The two did not encounter any danger during the last part of the journey, so Bronya quickly crossed the town and arrived at the blocked restricted area leading to the upper town.

The restricted area has three lines of defense. The outermost line is set up in the edge blocks of the town, so there are traces of people's activities in the downtown area.

Normally, the group of Buli people would patrol this area to prevent the invasion of creatures from the Rift.

Of course, having said that, in reality most of the time they used patrols as an excuse to catch lone people from the city below for fun.

For this reason, people in the downtown area will not go out before curfew.

"Send it here, should that be okay?"

Xier put one hand on her hip, staring at the blocked area ahead, and said without turning her head: "If they ask where you have been during your disappearance...

After all, you are the daughter of the Great Guardian, so those people won't make things difficult for you, right?"

"I don't know. I'll figure it out."

Bronya ignored Seele's sarcasm and began to think about how to explain where she was going.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from the corner not far ahead:

"Hand over the bag quickly, old man, or I'll arrest you and bring you back to justice!"

"Uncle, there's really nothing in this bag, just two olms. This is my family's rations for tonight. My wife hasn't eaten much for two days. If there's nothing to eat tonight..."

"Damn it, don't be so shameless!"

As soon as the roar ended, the sound of a metal blade being unsheathed followed.

Bronya's heart trembled. Just as she was about to quicken her pace to check the situation, Seele beside her had already turned into a shadow, crossed the street, and appeared at the corner.

Then there was a burst of fighting sounds.

By the time Bronya arrived at the scene, the brief fight had already ended, and the two Iron Guards were knocked to the ground by Seele.

A white-haired old man was curled up and shivering. The bag in his hand fell to the ground, and two slippery, snail-like olms rolled out of it.

Bronya was furious when she saw this. Suppressing her anger, she scolded the two guards lying on the ground, "What the hell is going on?"

"Deputy Commander? Why are you here?!"

The two guards saw that it was Bronya and immediately panicked: "We have been ordered to patrol the surrounding area to prevent the invasion of the Rift Creatures..."

Xier spat without any hesitation: "Oh, bullshit, I think your patrol is fake, and the looting is real!"

"Well, well, we have no choice. Those Buli people are forcing us to hand over all kinds of resources and property. If we don't hand them over, the entire team of Iron Guards will suffer. We are really desperate..."

"You have no choice, but does this old man have one? You're desperate, right? Well, I'll set you free!"

Seele pulled out a giant sickle and was about to chop it down, but fortunately Bronya grabbed her wrist in time:

"Wait, Xier, let me do it!"

"..."

Xier glanced at her with disdain and put away her weapon unhappily.

After comforting Seele, Bronya walked over to the two guards, took off one of her bracelets, and handed it to them:

"With this, you can report to the emperor, right?"

"Ah? This, this..."

"Don't forget your duty. Don't forget what the Silvermane Guard fights for."

"..."

The two guards took off their bracelets in silence and fled the scene.

On the other side, Xier also comforted the old man and asked him to go home quickly.

She walked over to Bronya, snorted coldly, and said sarcastically, "I thought our eldest daughter would give her men a good beating. With such indulgence, it's no wonder those guys dared to bully us so recklessly."

“They have no choice…”

"Do we have any choice then? Ha, you guys are living well in the upper city, living a life of luxury and extravagance, and you have no idea what life is like for us people in the lower city."

"Have you said enough?"

Bronya frowned, her eyes glaring with anger: "We are not staying in the upper city 'properly' at all! We are not living a life of luxury and pleasure!

We are also exploited and oppressed by the Buli people, and we are also facing invasions from the Rift Creatures at all times!
