Chapter 226: Chapter 152: Massive Energy Deficit, Abandoned Elemental Pool_2
Many elemental gods even took the opportunity to extend their reach into the Starlight Continent.
In the end, the wizards had to abandon this approach that did more harm than good, akin to drinking poison to quench thirst.
“It’s a pity the Elemental Pool has been abandoned.”
After checking once, Sunan concluded.
It makes sense, if the Elemental Pool could still operate, the Eco-Park wouldn’t fall into an energy crisis.
“If we could repair and activate this Elemental Pool, the Eco-Park’s energy supply would be ensured.”
A gleeful smile appeared on Sunan’s face.
Although repairing the Elemental Pool is no easy task, it is still simpler than building one from scratch, and he felt somewhat confident.
Regaining composure from his excitement, Sunan glanced at the Crystal Ball beside the Elemental Pool.
The Crystal Ball was perfectly round, purple-blue in color, with a radius of about half a meter, floating sixty to seventy centimeters above the ground, emitting a soft light.
Based on his experience, more likely than not, this Crystal Ball is the control center of the Eco-Park.
Standing before the Crystal Ball, Sunan pondered for a moment and placed a key on its surface.
“Startup source detected, management system is officially activating.”
“Scanning user status, compliant with standards, would you like to proceed to login?”
“Login.” Sunan responded without hesitation.
“Logged in.”
“Administrator status is currently vacant, the login user’s authority level has been elevated to maximum.”
“Welcome to Longlin Ecological Park, Master. Steward No. 1 at your service.”
A steward, huh…
Sunan’s eyes flickered slightly.
Upon hearing the sound from the Dragon Remains Tower earlier, he speculated whether the Eco-Park had an intelligent assistant life similar to a Tower Spirit, and it seems he was right.
However, the performance of this entity should be far inferior to a Tower Spirit, likely only slightly more advanced than puppet life forms like the Refined Gold Golem.
If it were a true Tower Spirit, even without a controller’s orders for millennia, it would operate the Eco-Park optimally, preventing it from reaching its current state.
“No. 1, conduct a status check on the Eco-Park.” Sunan issued his first command.
“Beginning self-diagnosis!”
“Scanning in progress.”
“Building a three-dimensional model.”
“Scan complete.”
A glimmer appeared, countless rays of light spilled from the Crystal Ball, weaving into a three-dimensional model above, depicting the Eco-Park in miniature 3D form.
Beside it were copious annotations.
[Eco-Park: Dragon Forest]
[Level: Large (Damage degree 69.34%)]
[Current remaining energy: 38.79%]
[Intelligent assistant life: Steward No. 1]
[Regions: Area 1, Area 2, Area 3]
[Facilities (Dragon Remains Tower): Residential area, storage area, laboratory area, training area, workshop area, modification area… Control hub, Elemental Pool (Miniature)]
[Servants: Clay Golem ×182]
[Defense device: Large Spatial Barrier (Damage degree 3.48%)]
[Combat device: Golem Legion (Stone Golem ×145)]
“Only less than 39% energy remains.”
Sunan sequentially opened the three areas.
[Area 1: Running state, minimum energy required for operation 24.28%, optimal energy 35.12%]
[Area 2: Suspended state, minimum energy required for operation 53.66%, optimal energy 73.41%]
[Area 3: Running state, minimum energy required for operation 3.06%]
“Area 2 alone requires over 50% energy!”
Sunan clicked his tongue secretly, no wonder Area 2 was directly abandoned and left derelict.
After all, being the area for raising the Dragon Race, the energy consumption is astonishingly high.
“It seems the first step is to restore energy to over 81%.”
The minimum energy required by the three areas cumulatively exceeds 81%.
As long as the Eco-Park’s energy is restored beyond this threshold, Area 1 and the Dragon Remains Tower can be maintained, and gradually restore the ecological environment of Area 2.
Once the ecological environment of Area 2 is restored, it can then consider how to restore the Dragon Race population.
“Open the energy slot.” Sunan commanded.
With a click, the ground beside the Crystal Ball opened slowly, revealing a hollow stone pillar extending out.
Sunan took out all the magic stones from the Space Ring and poured them into the stone pillar.
Moments later, the data next to the three-dimensional model changed drastically, with the remaining energy increasing from 38.79% to 38.81%, a 0.02% increment.
“Two hundred thirty-five lower-grade magic stones only increased the energy value by 0.02%!”
Sunan couldn’t help but gasp.
At this rate, he would need to invest nearly five hundred thousand lower-grade magic stones to increase the energy to 81%!
The cost is roughly nine hundred thousand Gold Coins!
Even if he accumulates all Gold Coins from now on, spending none, it would take four to five years to accumulate that amount.
This is only because he can produce magic stones at a very low cost.
For other Wizard Apprentices, truly relying on magic stones to increase energy, they could forget about restoring Area 2’s ecological environment in their lifetime.
The staggering energy consumption of the Eco-Park is thus evident!
“81% energy requires so many magic stones, to fully restore to 100% one couldn’t even imagine how many would be needed. Clearly, this method won’t work, the Elemental Pool must be repaired.”
After a moment of contemplation, Sunan formulated a plan, issuing a new command.
“No. 1, how much energy is needed to repair the Spatial Barrier?”
The urgent task is to patch up the Eco-Park’s breach to prevent the Sub-dragon Species from escaping Area 1, attracting more Wizard Apprentices or other intelligent beings.
“Requires 6.23% energy.”
Sunan quickly calculated, post-repair of the Spatial Barrier, the remaining energy would suffice to meet the minimum operational energy for Areas 1 and 3.
At worst, more magic stones could be invested later to enhance the energy level.
With this in mind, Sunan immediately issued the repair command.
“Repair initiated, estimated duration: 18 hours, 35 minutes, and 32 seconds.”
Watching as the three-dimensional model slowly disappeared, Sunan exhaled a long breath, filled with joy.
Although he hadn’t found any valuable treasures inside the Dragon Remains Tower, Dragon Forest itself was already the greatest find.
With Dragon Forest as a foundation, he could establish a more functional and safer base
Moreover, Dragon Forest with its tens of thousands of Sub-dragon Species and countless Rare Magic Plants, is a tremendous wealth.
Once the Elemental Pool is repaired, it will equate to owning an inexhaustible material repository.
Before ascending to a wizard and constructing a Wizard Tower, Dragon Forest could serve as his fundamental domain, on which to develop and expand his influence.
“Once the Elemental Pool is repaired, Base No. 1 can be migrated here.”
Dragon Forest is a semi-dimensional space, without a fixed position in the material world, as long as Sunan, as the controller, opens a passage in the material world, entry to Dragon Forest is possible.
Meanwhile, outside the Dragon Remains Tower.
The Traveler’s gaze constantly surveyed the Dragon Remains Tower, eyes filled with unmistakable envy.
As a Wizard Apprentice, he understood well the substantial benefits of acquiring a large Eco-Park.
Whether for personal power enhancement or force development, the advantages are exceedingly significant.
Yet, he also understood, this Eco-Park was beyond his reach.
To have it would be one thing, supporting it with energy was another.
But the player was different.
From what Night Owl shared, the player had access to resources far surpassing ordinary Level 3 Wizard Apprentices, perhaps he could resolve the Eco-Park’s energy shortage.
“Looking on the bright side, if Sunan indeed solves the Eco-Park’s issues, acquiring Sub-dragon Blood in the future could be done through him,”
The Traveler contemplated quietly.
Just then, the grand door of the Dragon Remains Tower suddenly opened with a rumble, and Sunan emerged.
The Traveler hesitated briefly, but succumbing to curiosity, approached and inquired:
“How is it?”
“There are many problems.” Sunan shrugged, “But the breach in the Eco-Park is under repair, it won’t be long before it’s fully restored, what’s your plan next?”
The Traveler was slightly taken aback.
What else could be done?
The Eco-Park was already Sunan’s domain, he couldn’t linger without end.
To his surprise, Sunan then extended an invitation.
“Would you be interested in visiting my place as a guest?”
