Chapter 231 Meeting with King Longjue
"It seems like we've made a mistake; the success rate is much lower than we expected."
Chen Yuan looked at the breakthrough probabilities of the three mother empresses; even Youdie, who had the highest success rate, only had a 17% success rate.
When these three Zerg hives were purchased, the vault information did not specify the exact probability of the Queen breaking through to Immortality; it only generally stated that the higher the quality of the Queen, the greater the probability of breaking through.
Therefore, Chen Yuan made his judgment based on the probability of cultivating plants to break through to immortality. For example, the probability of cultivating the most difficult Star-Eating Grass, the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass, to break through to immortality is 30%, while the probability of the Cloud-Moving Vine to break through to immortality is 40%.
It should be noted that if the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass could break through to the Immortal realm, it would also be at the peak of the King-level, and compared to the Zerg Queen, it would seem to be more cost-effective.
"Wait a minute—the cultivation costs for the two are completely different."
Chen Yuan suddenly realized.
Indeed, the original work mentioned that cultivating the Thousand Vine Star-Eating Grass to break through to immortality once requires 1200 billion Chaos Units, which only yields a 30% breakthrough probability.
In comparison, the Zerg Queens are much "cheaper," with the three Queens combined costing only a little over 10 billion.
If there were truly 1200 billion in funds, these queen mothers could even attempt to break through 12 times. Even if it's a matter of probability, they should succeed. That would be three peak-level kings, who, with a little training, would reach the limit of kingship.
Therefore, if the resource consumption is taken into account, the Zerg Queen's requirements are not high at all, making her extremely cost-effective.
"I see."
After clarifying his thoughts, Chen Yuan said to the three queen mothers, "I will prepare all the cultivation resources you need."
"What you need to do is not waste these resources and go all out to break through to the immortal realm."
Upon hearing Chen Yuan's promise, the three queen mothers exchanged surprised glances and replied in unison, "Yes, Master!"
To be honest, when Mingli and the others saw Chen Yuan's expression just now, they thought that the resource requirements were too high and their master might not be able to afford them.
Thinking about it, it's normal. After all, they could clearly sense that their master's strength was only at the peak of the Domain Lord level, not even reaching the level of the World Lord.
In their view, it's reasonable that they can't control resources worth tens of billions.
But they clearly underestimated their master's wealth. Faced with such a huge demand for resources, the master agreed without even blinking an eye.
Because Mingli and the others had too many and too varied cultivation resources, Chen Yuan entrusted the task of purchasing resources to Ireil, and then continued, "Mingli, Silkel, and Youdie, the maximum number of Zerg warriors you three can control is a million, right?"
"Yes, Master," Mingli replied softly. "For us, the more Zerg we control, the less precise our control becomes. This is true for all three of us."
"If we can keep the number below 1, we can implement 'precision control,' imbuing the attacks of these Zerg warriors with the power of laws."
"If the number does not exceed one million, we can 'coordinate and control' it, allowing the million-strong army to unleash a combined attack with enough power to make even a king-level expert retreat."
"Of course, the stronger the legion, the greater the power of the combined attack. If it is a combined attack from a million-strong Zerg king legion, even a peak-level king would not escape death if hit."
After Mingli finished speaking, Sikel and Youdie nodded in agreement: "Big sister is right."
"Understood." Chen Yuan nodded. "In that case, I will allocate one million Zerg King slots to each of you, plus ten million ordinary Zerg warrior slots."
"Once you've decided on the direction of your training, my suggestion is that since this million-strong army of kings is going to unleash a combined attack, it would be best to choose warriors of the same race."
Mingli and Sikel had no objection to the suggestion, but Youdie timidly said, "Master, my Dark Light Butterfly and Shining Light Butterfly are two complementary races. The combined attack of the two is more powerful than the combined attack of a single race."
"So, could I breed 50 of each of the two races?"
"Of course." Chen Yuan nodded. Since it was more powerful, he had no reason to refuse. "So, your King's Legion will consist of these two types?"
Youdie nodded, then Chen Yuan looked at the remaining two: "And you two?"
Mingli and Sikel exchanged a glance, then said, "I choose to breed the Shadow Mantis King/Heavy Blade King."
Chen Yuan glanced at the two of them and immediately understood their thoughts.
It's clear that because Ghost Butterfly had already chosen a ranged attack Zerg warrior, they chose a high-speed offensive warrior and a frontal assault warrior respectively. The three complement each other and make up for each other's weaknesses.
"Understood." Chen Yuan nodded and said, "You all stay here for the time being. I'll go and procure resources and the corresponding Zerg corpses for you."
The three queens bowed in unison: "As you command."
After leaving the Shiyuan Palace, Chen Yuan asked Irele, "Have you chosen the resources?"
"It's been chosen, Master."
Ireil replied, "The resources that these three Zerg Queens need are all in the treasury, and it's more cost-effective to pay with points than to buy them with cash. It only costs 92 billion points."
"Then just place your order. I've already redeemed my points."
Chen Yuan exchanged some Hunyuan Units, bringing his points balance to 10 billion. He then said, "Select 'Wulong Star Region' as the delivery address. I'm going there now."
"By the way, send an email for me to 'King Longjue,' the administrator of the Wulong Starfield, and tell him I want to see him."
Given Chen Yuan's current status and position, countless powerful figures within the Virtual Universe Company would want to curry favor with him.
Meeting a king was even easier for him; he could simply send an email to the king and didn't need any introductions from others.
Indeed, when King Longjue received Chen Yuan's email, he was overjoyed. This prince had actually taken the initiative to contact him, which was a great opportunity to get closer to him!
He immediately booked a high-end restaurant on the Qianwu Continent, extended an invitation to Chen Yuan, and implied in his reply that he could try his best to meet Chen Yuan's requests within the scope of his authority.
"No wonder he became a giant in the garbage star system, he's really shrewd."
Upon receiving the reply, Chen Yuan smiled slightly and then teleported to the Qianwu Continent to keep the appointment.
A moment later, he met the person in charge of the Wulong Star Region on the top floor of a restaurant that was thousands of stories high.
Before Chen Yuan could speak, King Longjue immediately stood up to greet him: "Tian Wei greets Your Highness Chen Yuan. I never expected to have the opportunity to host Your Highness today. It is truly an honor."
"King Longjue, there's no need for you to be so polite."
Chen Yuan smiled in response: "It was clearly me who took the initiative to contact King Longjue, yet you have to host a banquet for me. It should be the other way around."
"Your Highness is joking."
King Longjue laughed heartily, "There are countless people in the company who wish to host Your Highness but cannot. It is a great blessing that I can fulfill this wish today."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two took their seats. At King Longjue's command, the restaurant waiters began to serve dishes, and various delicacies were presented one after another, making for a very luxurious affair.
However, neither of them came here for a meal; the so-called food was just a way to get closer to each other.
Therefore, Chen Yuan chose to get straight to the point: "This time, when I contacted King Longjue, I did indeed have something to ask of him."
"Your Highness, please speak freely."
Seeing that Chen Yuan had spoken up, Longjue Wang replied with a serious expression.
"It's really not a big deal."
Chen Yuan smiled faintly, "I recently enslaved the Zerg mother hive and want to acquire some Zerg bodies. I heard that there are quite a few in stock in the Wulong Starfield, so I came here specifically to consult King Longjue."
"I see!" King Longjue's eyes lit up, his tone filled with admiration: "I didn't expect Your Highness to be able to enslave the Zerg mother hive. If this is cultivated properly, it will be a force to be reckoned with as a king."
After the compliments, the Prince of Long got down to business: "Your Highness is well-informed. The Wulong Starfield, as one of the nine garbage starfields, does indeed store a large number of Zerg corpses."
He paused, glanced subtly at Chen Yuan, and continued, "How many insectoid corpses does Your Highness desire?"
Chen Yuan said, "I heard that in the Wulong Starfield, 10 Zerg corpses are called a unit."
"So I need a total of 33,000 Zerg corpses."
At this point, Chen Yuan paused, then added, "And they all have to be at the peak of the Realm Lord level."
Upon hearing this number, King Longjue's expression immediately changed.
