"Current population of the Mechanical City: over forty-three thousand people."
"Current number of combat personnel in the Mechanical City: three thousand people, one thousand three hundred Transcendents, fifteen Transcendents of four-star level or above."
Su Yu looked at the numbers displayed on the screen in front of him, feeling a sense of excitement rising in his heart.
"Now, the Mechanical City’s combat strength is not weaker than the Ghost Tribe, and might even surpass it slightly."
"And this, after only one month since the completion of the Mechanical City..."
"The current Mechanical City can no longer be considered a small settlement. While its population is still somewhat lacking, in terms of strength, it has surpassed the Ghost Tribe, which is considered a mid-sized settlement."
"Even if I leave, the current strength of the Mechanical City is sufficient to repel the invasion of the Ghost Tribe."
"It might be worth considering launching an attack on the Ghost Tribe, to probe their situation in the process."
Thinking of this, the previously discarded idea resurfaced in Su Yu’s mind.
Su Yu subconsciously glanced at his Attribute Panel.
He ignored the numerous Professional Skills and focused his attention on the core abilities.
"Electromagnetic Fury, Hidden Kill, Resonance, Convergence, Flame of Truth, Full Firepower..."
Su Yu did not pay attention to other core abilities but concentrated on these core specializations.
Su Yu looked at these core abilities and specializations, murmuring to himself: "These core abilities and specializations seem to be able to stack together."
"The combined destructive power and range should not be small. Perhaps I should try launching an attack on the Ghost Tribe?"
"Even if it leads to mutual destruction, the current Mechanical City can hold its ground and is sufficient to defend against a large number of low-level Ghost Demons."
Su Yu thought to himself, becoming increasingly convinced of the feasibility.
"However, it still requires careful planning..."
"At the very least, a backup set of Mechanical Battle Armor and Electromagnetic Sniper Cannon must be built, otherwise, under Electromagnetic Fury, both the Azure Oath and the current Electromagnetic Sniper Cannon will be destroyed."
Thinking of this, Su Yu immediately opened his personal terminal and contacted Yang Lie.
Soon, Su Yu’s communication was connected.
"Uncle Yang, in the coming week, you need to prepare the people of the Mechanical City as there might be a battle with the Ghost Tribe at any time."
"Moreover, has the Ghost Energy Radar detected any movements from the Ghost Tribe?"
In recent days, the people of the Mechanical City have successfully installed the Ghost Energy Radar throughout the Dead Silence Wilderness, establishing a basic surveillance network to ensure immediate notification if any unusual ghost energy appears.
On the other end of the communication, upon hearing Su Yu’s words, Yang Lie immediately responded, "Administrator, the people of the Mechanical City have long been prepared for a confrontation with the Ghost Tribe in recent days. Fifteen Hunting Team Leaders, including the newly added ones, have also adapted to the hunting mode of the Mechanical City."
Su Yu nodded. The newly added hunting teams in the Mechanical City were reorganized from the combat personnel of several settlements that joined later, and Su Yu also increased the exchange contributions for Intelligent Chips.
These days, the hunting by these teams has mostly been within a ten-kilometer radius around the Mechanical City, aiming to recover Mechanical Creations and find more Intelligent Chips, though the quantity remains minimal.
However, for Su Yu, it was also a way to supplement the number of the mechanical legion.
At this time, Yang Lie continued, "Additionally, Captain Yu Ping’an set out for the Radiation Land three days ago and is estimated to have entered the Radiation Land one and a half days ago, currently completely out of contact with the Mechanical City."
"Moreover, most of the newly joined residents of the Mechanical City have quickly come to identify with the Mechanical City, and under your exchange list and the Flame of Truth’s healing effects, their loyalty to the Mechanical City is very high."
Su Yu was not surprised by Yang Lie’s words.
The reason Su Yu could accept so many small settlements in the Dead Silence Wilderness was because the opportunities offered by the Mechanical City were incredibly valuable to the ordinary people of this area.
Similarly, for the four-star Transcendents, the Mechanical City could provide powerful mechanical equipment to enhance their combat power. Except for some discomfort among the leaders of a few settlements that joined later, the people of the other settlements had already identified with being residents of the Mechanical City.
In such circumstances, the leaders of the newly joined settlements could only adapt to their change in status.
After reporting on the current situation in the Mechanical City, Yang Lie changed his tone and said to Su Yu, "Administrator, no, Brother Su, regardless of what you plan to do next, please ensure your safety."
"The current Mechanical City was entirely built by you alone. If anything happens to you, this Dead Silence Wilderness will be devoid of any hope."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded and said, "I understand, Uncle Yang."
Then, he hung up the communication.
"Now, the Mechanical City lacks nothing except for Intelligent Chips. Moving forward, for further development, a confrontation with the Ghost Tribe is inevitable, especially since the Mechanical City and the Ghost Tribe have long been adversaries."
"I also wonder how Yu Ping’an is doing there, and whether he can bring back any new Source Core Crystals for me."
"But in any case, it’s no harm to launch a distant attack near the Ghost Tribe as a probe."
"No need to use the Azure Oath and Electromagnetic Sniper Cannon, just need to create a new set of Mechanical Armor and Electromagnetic Sniper Cannon, and after firing a shot, quickly return with the speed of the Azure Oath."
After hanging up the communication, Su Yu contemplated quietly.
Then, Su Yu patted Nuonuo, who was waiting nearby, and said, "Nuonuo, let’s get to work."
