After ending the call.
Senior Liu Jing is coming personally? It seems this ten-meter-tall Soul-Nurturing Ancient Spirit Tree really is precious enough to make them break precedent. Li Yuan thought to himself.
Li Yuan knew that the Outpost Base had its own operating rules. It was exceedingly difficult to persuade a First-Order Martialist with Fourth Stage skill to willingly remain forever in a near-barbaric Star Realm.
Secondly, the Seven Star Human Civilization had only a limited number of Source Martialists, while there were countless directions in which resources needed to be invested.
Treasures and supplies were resources.
Powerhouses like Source Martialists and Flying Martialists were likewise a kind of resource.
Therefore, places like Outpost No. 3 had limited Source Martialists. Unless absolutely necessary, Source Martialists would not take action.
Otherwise, if one died outside and caused a shortage of high-end combat power, it could easily trigger a chain reaction and lead to the destruction of the entire base.
The thousand-kilometer radius around the Outpost Base is a line drawn by Xia Country's upper echelons for the base. Li Yuan mused. Within that thousand-kilometer range, Source Martialists can act under certain special circumstances.
For instance, when it was necessary to develop a resource site of exceptionally high value.
Or—for a Heavenly Treasure worth more than a billion.
Or when targeting an objective of extremely high value.
It's nine hundred kilometers from the base to here. Li Yuan pondered. Without aircraft, at a Source Martialist's speed, they should be able to arrive within five hours if they travel at full speed.
Nine hundred kilometers across mountains and ridges and nine hundred kilometers across flat plains were entirely different concepts.
I wonder whether Senior Liu Jing is coming alone, with several Source Martialists, or with other First-Order Martialists and even some heavy weapons?
