Chapter 1590: 405: Evil Little Mage, Attached Ecology_4

The two massive snake heads collided violently, producing a bone-crushing explosion. The offensive of the two array giant snakes was thus dismantled.

At this moment, the remaining giant snake raised its tail, descending from the sky like a celestial pillar.

The Little Mage was unable to retract his arm and chose to suddenly tilt his head, using his shoulder, covered with the thickest armor plates, to endure it.

After a dull boom, the body of the Myriad Phenomena Giant Beast sank slightly, and the ground beneath collapsed several meters.

The cracks on the surface of the Super Beast’s body increased once again.

Feeling the pressure, he reached upward with his left claw and grabbed the snake tail that had not yet been retracted.

The muscles in his arms bulged terrifyingly, using it like a whip, frantically thrashing it left and right.

The entire Stone Nest City seemed to become his playground, with the two array-formed giant snakes being swung around, smashing into the ground, buildings, and the third giant snake attempting to approach.

Each collision would cause the earth to shake, rocks to fly, and energy to scatter.

Finally, he slammed the two dimmed and nearly disintegrated giant snakes together.

Boom!

In the violent explosion, the two giant snakes completely broke apart.

Turning into countless scattered energy points and plunging figures of bleeding Gogong Clan warriors.

But this time, the Little Mage did not choose to use "Myriad Phenomena Life Soul" for devouring.

The Gogong Clan had already optimized certain life structures of the Myriad Phenomena form, and they had been meticulously documented.

Continuing to devour would no longer bring any new evolutionary value.

After consecutively killing three giant snakes, the war was not yet over.

The power structure of the Gogong Clan revolves around the Snake Mother as the absolute core, with 108 War Commanders below, and has an extremely cruel competition mechanism internally.

This model is also the self-optimization mode of the Gogong Clan before coming to the Monster World.

It selects the strong in a nearly parasitic manner, evolving under pressure.

Secondly, it dynamically allocates resources.

Commanders, even the Snake Mother, who do not advance, will be eliminated by newcomers.

This is also why the Snake Mother desires war.

Only through war can bring consistent unity against external forces; otherwise, it triggers internal strife.

At this moment, the fall of the Snake Mother represents a huge opportunity for other War Commanders.

Whoever can step forward now and repel or seriously injure the formidable enemy has a great chance to take over the power vacuum left by the Snake Mother and become the new clan leader.

Gray-white giant snake figures can be seen attacking from multiple areas in the city, forming a circle of encirclement.

Yet, the Little Mage does not plan to continue fighting.

Death is not scary; what is scary is not being able to return after going back to the village.

The deterrence has been achieved, with the top combat power of the Gogong Clan being destroyed by him in a crushing manner, the symbol of power—the fall of the Snake Mother, and the central area of the main city Stone Nest reduced to ruins.

After this battle, even if the Gogong Clan does not fall into civil strife, it has suffered a severe blow.

For a long time in the future, they will lose the ability to expand externally, let alone threaten the Spirit Breath Clan.

Looking at the gray-white giant snake figures pouring in frantically from all corners of the city, the Little Mage suddenly lifted his giant claw and struck the ground fiercely.

In the Eagle-headed Demon Perception, deep underground, there are multiple Spirit Veins maintaining the operation of the city.

Before leaving, hit one more target.

Vast Qi-Blood mixed with Soul Forging Power poured into the ground.

With the array base beneath shattering, as the earth shook violently, deep and bottomless ravines cracked open, and turbulent energy streams burst out from the depths.

Having completed the destruction, he suddenly bent down and pushed off the ground.

Boom!

The ground beneath him was kicked into a giant pit, the reaction force pushing his mountainous body into the sky.

Tearing through the air, flying toward Spirit Breath City.

The sonic booms from high-speed flight were like continuous thunder, exploding over Stone Nest City.

Leaving behind a blood-colored trail, as if the sky had been struck with a scar.

The Little Mage left in an unstoppable manner, watched by countless astonished eyes of the Gogong Clan warriors.

This was his intimidation plan.

Only by showing fangs in the most violent way can one deter formidable enemies.

Warnings, threats, compromises... these methods had no meaning.

Between clans, displaying muscles or direct destruction is the clearest language.

...

Primordial Altar.

Qi Sheng’s gaze returned from the Illusion Flower Plain region.

The Little Mage is one of the players he is quite focused on.

Unlike most players, who grow and develop around their own factions.

Due to an accident becoming the "Blood King," the Little Mage has embarked on an independent path, which in itself has immense observational value.

In Qi Sheng’s evaluation system, the value created by the Little Mage mainly manifests in four aspects.

Firstly, among all players, he is the highest individual according to the tax fees paid to him.

All resources produced by the Spirit Breath Clan are entirely reliant on the Trading House platform of the Player Faction for conversion channels.

Qi Sheng can stably extract 5% of transaction fees from every transaction through the Trading House.

The large-scale industry of the Spirit Breath Clan has brought considerable transaction flow, making the Little Mage a major taxpayer within the Player Faction.

Secondly, the Spirit Breath Clan under his dominion fills the bottom ecological niche within the player economy.

The player group tends to prefer gameplay like hunting, exploration, dungeons, etc.

They have little interest in producing low-level products.

This results in these basic goods having a high added value in the player Trading House.

For example: special fishing lines, rods, tents, and other handicrafts.

A typical reference example is the Arms Merchant Guild.

The "Mining Robot" they produce is low in technological content.

The Monster World has many Alien Races that can easily handle the problem of automatic mining, yet the Arms Merchant Guild can sell the Mining Robots at high prices.

Because they satisfy the specific needs of the player group.

Players, even if capable, are unwilling to spend a lot of time learning and making them.

The Little Mage keenly grasped this blue ocean market, using the human resources advantage of the Spirit Breath Clan, mass-producing low-level products that players are unwilling to make but always in short supply, and selling them through the Trading House.

Although the profit per transaction for these goods is not high, they can consistently generate revenue through stable shipment volume and huge market demands.

At the same time, the added value of these products is lowered.

This keeps the market price of these basic goods relatively stable.

This action also reduced the players’ purchase expenses.

Enabling them to obtain various handicraft tools at lower costs.

Secondly, the Little Mage provided necessary resources for player development, like Spirit Plant, Spiritual Ore, and food ingredients.

These resources are all mined, planted, and excavated by the Spirit Breath Clan.

Yet, they are sold to players at prices below market, reducing the early development consumption burden on players, which can also be considered as indirectly accelerating the overall growth speed of player faction strength.

So while the Spirit Breath Clan uses the Player Faction as a resource conversion channel, it also nourishes the operation of the Player Faction.

The development model of the Spirit Breath Clan gives Qi Sheng a strong sense of déjà vu.

The current Spirit Breath Clan resembles a dependent structure from the ancient Earth era before he traveled to become Emperor Zhao.

When one party is defeated in a surprise attack, the victor, though not implementing direct colonial rule over the defeated party, sends a Supreme Emperor and establishes a new dependency structure deeply embedding the defeated into the victor’s economic system with its interests at the core.

Taking on the burdensome production tasks to serve and nourish the victor system, and finding a new living space within this system.

The difference between the two is that their positioning can be described as worlds apart.

For the Spirit Breath Clan, the Player Faction is not a "Sovereign State" they can seek opportunities to contest.

Not now, and even less in the future.

It is simply a new force established by individuals from within the Player Faction.

Although independent outside, in essence, it is a dependency deeply attached to the ecosystem of the Player Faction, capable of survival.

This fragile dependency that players can unilaterally sever at any time is the Spirit Breath Clan’s only way of survival in the Monster World.

Qi Sheng will continue to monitor the development of the Little Mage side.

At this time, Qi Sheng’s gaze shifted to the Ascension Sea.

Fierce sea battles are underway.

Perhaps the journey of the Ascension Clan in the Monster World will draw to a close with this war.
