Three days until the second wave of attacks.
This time could be used not only to rest well.
More importantly, the Guardians could all go out and explore.
Early the next morning, the Eagle Country's Jack and Rose took their weapons and went out to search for supplies.
Before leaving, they didn't forget to comfort their frightened companions.
"Bob, it should be no problem to have you stay and guard the house. The initial phase of the other Guardians means they don't yet know our exact location."
Like the Eagle Country, the Guardian, John and Mary, also sent people out to find resources.
Based on the experience of the Dragon Country's guardians, the guardians of all countries knew that there were many opportunities within the arena.
However, <> and <> made different choices, with one person going out and two staying behind.
The two who stayed were busy reinforcing the defenses in front of the national gate.
It must be known that the area in front of the national gate was barren, with nothing but three houses for resting.
The guardians of the other two hundred-plus countries had made almost the same choice as them, and were busy reinforcing their defenses.
However, <> didn't go out.
"Why isn't Qin the Great going to find resources today? At the very least, finding some treasure chests wouldn't be bad!"
"Yeah, look at the guardians of the other countries, they've almost all come out."
"Huh? Someone's trying to raid the base at a time like this? Isn't that great?"
"Don't talk about my husband like that! Can't my husband even take a day off? Hmph!"
"..."
In reality, <> hadn't gone out and wasn't idle either.
He came to the border and brought up the <> blueprints from his warehouse.
Even though they were just basic blueprints, they were better than nothing.
[<>: Basic]
[Required materials: Wood x100; Stone x50; Steel x10.]
[Description: The wooden structure can withstand the impact of monsters up to and including the level of the structure itself. However, its capacity is limited; do not place all your hopes on this structure to defend the nation's borders.]
[Construction Time: 2 hours]
[Build Immediately]
"What's this, little brother?" asked Lin.
"A defensive structure that can protect our borders, but it's only a basic one," explained Lin.
"We have enough materials right now. Should we build it first? We can upgrade it later if we find a more advanced one."
As a team, they naturally needed to seek the opinions of the other two.
Having witnessed Qin Xiao's capabilities, Jiang Li now trusted him implicitly.
Jiang Li nodded, "We'll do as Brother Qin says."
"Yes, yes, build it quickly! I want to see what it looks like!"
Zeng Nian was very excited.
"Alright then."
Qin Xiao nodded and gently tapped the 'Build Now' button on the blueprint.
Immediately, a system prompt popped up in front of the three of them.
"Battlefield Tip: Dragon Country has consumed wood x100, stone x50, steel x10; constructing a basic <>."
Not only them, but this prompt popped up in front of all the Guardians.
"Are the Dragon Country Guardians this amazing?"
"Wow, so there are construction blueprints. I was wondering what the reward materials were for."
"Uh, looking at it like this, are the defensive structures we worked so hard on a bit… crude?"
"Damn, it can actually construct <> with one click? I was out here slaving away, building defenses like an idiot!"
Guardians from other countries, seeing the prompt, were envious, but also more motivated to search for treasure chests.
Immediately, around the Dragon Country's gate, a construction site that was automatically building, encompassed the gate and the rest area of <> and the other two.
"Hey! This is pretty fun, it can even repair itself automatically!"
<> excitedly ran over to watch <>'s construction, completely disregarding the dust flying everywhere.
[Beginner <> repairing.]
[Wood -100, Stone -50, Steel -10.]
[Remaining repair time: 01:59:59...]
The countdown timer on the construction site kept refreshing, and the materials in <>'s warehouse automatically decreased.
Seeing such a magical scene, the Blue Star netizens were all stunned.
"Automated construction? Awesome!"
"Heh heh, who said Dragon Country's border had no defenses yesterday?"
"Construction in all areas at once, amazing! Looking at this foundation, even a basic <> should be able to withstand the second wave of attacks."
"So, Great God Qin wasn't out treasure hunting, but building fortifications."
"Heh heh, @Eagle Country@, @Bear Country@, @Frog Country@, look at our defenses, fully automated, drive you crazy!"
At this moment, the netizens from these three countries saw Dragon Country's fortifications and were so envious they could barely speak.
On the battlefield, <> was providing shade for <>.
"Little Qin, I'm going out to find a <>, I'll leave this to you."
<> said, "I'll go with you."
A few dozen meters beyond the border, the sunlight couldn't penetrate the war fog.
In his opinion, although Master Jiu's martial arts foundation was solid, and he also had a purple talent bonus, no one could predict what monsters he might encounter in the fog.
<> nodded, "Alright, that works."
The two of them immediately departed.
Master Jiu took out a compass, pinched his fingers, and after some calculations, chose a direction to enter the fog.
He wandered around in the fog for over half an hour, prompting continuous complaints from the online viewers.
Fortunately, they hadn't encountered any dangers along the way.
Meanwhile, inside <>'s science department, the Dragon Kingdom's mechanical industry bigwigs, invited by <>, were gathered together, carefully studying <>'s video footage.
"I fear this mech is quite fragile."
The speaker was a leading figure in the Dragon Country's mechanical industry and a professor at Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
Yao Jian frowned upon hearing this.
So, the upgraded mech was indeed no good?
"Look, this young man has learned from the previous generation's mech. He clearly designed this generation to be so thin and light to conserve flight energy."
"Exactly, exactly."
The other expert professors chimed in.
"Ah, young people. They completely abandon practicality in the design for the sake of looking cool and fashionable."
"That's right, how can such a tiny mech even carry any ammo?"
"It's been upgraded, it looks better, but its combat effectiveness has been greatly weakened. I think it's not even as strong as the first generation!"
"I'm sure this mech practically only has the function of flying!"
Several old scholars, wearing their reading glasses, pointed at the screen and commented.
They almost completely dismissed Lin Fan's mech.
This made Lin Fan even more flustered.
In everyone's mind, among the three guardians of Dragon Country, Lin Fan's combat strength was considered stronger.
But now, it was bad. The young man couldn't control himself, always wanting to show off and blindly upgrading the mech.
Some of the mechanical experts present were a bit younger.
At this moment, a slender scholar wearing glasses felt dissatisfied after hearing the seniors' criticism.
But he spoke kindly, reminding them:
"Esteemed teachers, since this mecha can fly with such ease, shouldn't we explore its aerodynamics and material structure to see if there's anything worth learning from?"
As soon as he said this, the old fellows immediately turned grim.
"You, what do you know! You don't have a place to speak here!"
"..."
Before long, a satisfied one was found on the scene.
"This place is nice!"
