Chapter 832: Chapter 833: The Cost of High-Level Research

Chu You stared at the four characters for a while, just looking at them as if facing a major decision!

Then, with a thought, he chose high-level fortress research!

It could be seen that there were four high-level research options: battle, punishment, construction, alliance!

Each option was a mysterious and intricate card resembling a magic array, with four cards in total, each corresponding to one of the four high-level research options!

Below these four mysterious and intricate magic array cards was a grey galaxy nebula pattern, and beneath the pattern was a set of grey text displaying: Activate the Spirit of the Fort!

Since these words were greyed out, they could not be activated. So, what was the prerequisite for activating it?

Of course, the answer was to complete all the high-level research projects before qualifying to start this ultimate option!

As his eyes went over the four high-level options, Chu You first chose battle.

Then, the corresponding battle magic card opened, revealing the final set of skills in the interface.

All the skills inside this skill tree were high-level battle research projects!

Each research project needed to be upgraded to level 10. If any skill was not raised to level 10, not only could it not trigger the activation of the next skill in the tree, but it also could not activate the Spirit of the Fort.

Therefore, Chu You could only start upgrading from the first research project, which was: Army’s Comprehensive Properties 0/10!

Army’s Comprehensive Properties Level 1: Increases the comprehensive properties of all armies for members of the ruling guild by 20%!

Research resources: Wood 20,000, Ore 20,000, Mercury 10,000, Sulfur 5,000, Gemstone 5,000, Gold Coin 500,000.

Research duration: 90 days!

With a slight tilt of his head, Chu You continued to watch the details of this research project. It was evident from the research resources that not only strategic resources were needed for high-level research, but also Gold Coins, which were also a type of strategic resource.

Previous normal research did not require Gold Coins and only needed strategic resources, but high-level research added the requirement of Gold Coin resources, which were substantial at even level 1, requiring 500,000. What about level 2? This was still just the first battle research project within the first battle research system!

In the next moment, he made up his mind and chose to research!

Instantly, a portion of his strategic resources and Gold Coins were deducted accordingly.

The glow of the enormous research core crystal intensified slightly, and at the same time, the research project displayed its completion time: 90 days!

This meant that he had to wait 90 days for the research project to be completed, after which the contents of the research project would come into effect for all members of the ruling guild.

After that, he opened the interface and looked at the few remaining Research Time Speed-up Cards. These cards were originally purchased from an Ancient God Race NPC on Lucky Island.

After taking a deep breath, he used a total of 90 days’ worth of Research Time Speed-up Cards, and Chu You completed the research project in an incredibly short period.

Once the research was complete, a golden glow emanated from his body, disappearing quickly.

System: You have completed the research of Army’s Comprehensive Properties Level 1, and its effects will now apply to all members of your guild!

At the same moment, Zhao Feifei also saw a golden glow flicker on her body...

Not only that, but Dantai Jingning, somewhere else, halted in her tracks as a golden glow illuminated her...

The same effect appeared on Miao Jiuer, and those around her took notice of this effect on her.

The three ladies of the Immortal Guild received the system notification!

System: Guild Leader ’Night Ghost’ has completed the research of level 1 battle in the high-level research projects of the ruling fort: Army’s Comprehensive Properties Level 1! This research achievement will now take effect on you!

After completing this research project, the next skill in the research skill tree lit up, indicating it had been activated, but it could only be upgraded to level 1, because the Army’s Comprehensive Properties skill above had only been raised to level 1.

The name of the freshly activated high-level battle research project was: Fortress Skill: Space Enhancement 0/10!

Fortress Skill: Space Enhancement Level 1: Maximum teleportation distance of 50 meters, teleportation increases movement speed by 20% for 3 seconds, the cooldown time for this skill is 3 minutes, no magic power consumption required, no level restriction, shared across all professions, applicable to members of the ruling guild!

Research Resources: 20,000 wood, 20,000 ore, 8,000 crystals, 8,000 sulfur, 1 million Gold Coins!

Research Duration: 100 days!

Without hesitation, Chu You initiated the high-level battle research skill program, and his resources were accordingly deducted.

Then, he used a total of 100 days’ worth of Scientific Research Acceleration Cards, and finally, the research on the high-level project Level 1 was complete!

Immediately, as before, everyone in the Immortal Guild that was online glowed with light, accompanied by a System prompt.

At this moment, the three ladies of the Immortal Guild were shocked!

Because, they actually saw a new skill added to their skill trees: Fortress Skill Space Enhancement Level 1!

This was unbelievable!!

Zhao Feifei suddenly looked up at the man’s silhouette standing under the giant core crystal not far away!

What was this man doing? He actually granted the entire guild free skills, and space skills at that!

Space skills were the trump card among all the skills, extraordinarily awesome.

And now, the entire guild had this skill. From the ’Level 1’ marker, the potential for further substantial upgrades to this unexpected high-level skill was evident!

At this moment, the three women from the Immortal Guild felt a differing degree of chilling sensation due to the realization of the difference.

Zhao Feifei was the most deeply affected, considering that there were currently only 5 people in the Immortal Guild, and the membership cap for the guild was 50,000!

If the Immortal Guild could actually recruit 50,000 people, then all these people would have this skill!

Isn’t that terrifying?!

Chu You’s friend list buzzed with voice messages, but he didn’t open them, his gaze still fixed on the high-level research.

Since the research only reached Level 1, the Space Skill Enhancement research could also only be upgraded to Level 1, and it did not trigger the unlocking of another high-level research skill.

He was almost out of Scientific Research Acceleration Cards!

Chu You felt somewhat deflated inside.

System: Warning! A change in location has occurred at your guild’s trading post in Nanshan City, you can search for it!

Ignoring the System’s prompt, Chu You chose to initiate the upgrade of the Total Army Attribute Level 2 research project, which required 1 million Gold Coins.

Total Army Attribute Level 2: Increases all attributes for the ruling guild members’ armies by 35%!

Finally, Chu You upgraded the Total Army Attributes research to Level 10 in one go!

The cost was the consumption of all the Research Time Speed-up Cards, and the strategic resources consumed were immense. As for the Gold Coins, a total of 46 million were spent!

From his arrival until now, the total Gold Coins spent were 47.5 million!

His funds dropped from 250 million to a bit over 200 million Gold Coins.

That was the cost of researching high-level projects, because its effect, like the Guild Skill Tree, was universal!

The Speed-up Cards were all used up, and the strategic resources were nearly depleted!

Heh...

Total Army Attribute Level 10: Increases all attributes for the ruling guild members’ armies by 200%!
