Chapter 219: Grabbing Gold Coins

The construction yard that unfolded after the MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) deployment was exactly the same as what Su Chen had seen before. This did not surprise him.

However, when he was ready to build the next building unit, he was dumbfounded to find that he didn't have enough gold coins!

What the hell, wasn't this supposed to be the mode where you start with 10,000 gold coins?

Starting with nothing, relying solely on grabbing gold coins?

Su Chen wanted to curse, but who could he curse at?

"The only way to get gold coins now is through gold mines and gem mines. Based on my previous experience, it seems that as long as I put the gold mine into my pocket, my gold coins will increase. But there is a limit to how much gold ore I can carry. What should I do when it's full?"

Su Chen thought of something. Mining vehicles had to return to unload the ore to obtain gold coins. Did he need to do the same thing?

Find a gold mine, become a miner, transport the gold ore, and finally get gold coins. Only in this way could he continue to build new building units.

He had to persist until he built barracks. Without soldiers, he had no sense of security.

But the only gold mine Su Chen knew of was the one already occupied by the Space-time mining vehicle. With Su Chen's current strength, if he was discovered, he would be done for.

There was no way. He could only look for a new gold mine.

Fortunately, here in this world, Su Chen didn't need to eat, drink, or sleep, so he had enough time to search for a new gold mine.

Su Chen thought of a better way. He transformed the construction yard back into an MCV (Mobile Construction Vehicle) and drove it to search for gold mines. He could deploy the MCV directly next to the gold mine, which would be the fastest way to increase his gold coin count.

In the desolate Gobi Desert, a huge MCV navigated through it, and Su Chen's eyes never stopped searching for gold mines. Finally, he found the second open-air gold mine.

"This is really the Red Alert world, where all the gold mines are on the ground. It would be even better if I could find a gem mine," Su Chen thought.

The price of gem mines was much higher than that of gold mines, but even in the game map, gem mines were a relatively rare resource.

Stopping the MCV, Su Chen began his career as a miner. Of course, he didn't forget about his Hounds. They became the second miner.

Su Chen found that as long as he transported the gold ore to the interior of the MCV, the gold ore would disappear automatically, and at the same time, he could see his gold coins increasing.

Each time he transported the gold ore, he would get about 100 gold coins, and his Hounds would get 50. After one trip, he could get 150 gold coins.

He needed to make four trips to build a power plant that needed 600 gold coins.

Finally, after four trips, he could build the first building unit, the power plant.

Seeing the appearance of his power plant, Su Chen raised his eyebrows. It seemed that he belonged to the Yuri faction. Did that mean his enemies were the Allied Forces and the Soviet Union?

"Am I going to fight against both of them alone? I hope they are not extremely ruthless enemies, or I will be in trouble," Su Chen frowned.

When he played the Red Alert game before, Su Chen was very badly beaten by the highest level of ruthless enemies controlled by the computer.

He lost more than ten games in a row.

It wasn't until later when he received guidance from a master that he could barely deal with one extremely ruthless enemy. Dealing with two was almost impossible.

In Red Alert, there were three factions. Su Chen determined that he belonged to Yuri's faction based on the MCV and power plant. There was no need to explain the other two factions.

Yuri's faction was characterized by psychic technology, but unfortunately, his recently upgraded psychic technology 4.0 version didn't seem to have any use here. In that case, he needed to rely on his own abilities to defeat the enemy and pass this trial.

"Ah, even though I can rely on my looks to make a living, I still have to showcase my talents. It's really helpless," Su Chen sighed.

Without knowing the enemy's situation, Su Chen was very cautious and spent all day transporting gold ore, quickly building various units.

He had barracks, a war factory, and even a mind detector.

Su Chen could see a small map in his field of vision. Bright areas on the map were areas that the mind detector could see, while further away was darkness.

"Let the Yuri recruits go out and explore first. If they encounter the enemy, they must retreat and preserve their strength. We can't expose ourselves at this point," Su Chen decided.

He was prepared to be patient. Currently, he had less than 10 Yuri recruits, and sending out 10 at once to explore the map was sufficient.

Looking at his Hounds, Su Chen knew they were his only ones. After all, Yuri's faction couldn't build Hounds.

With the construction of the Slave Miner, he no longer needed to mine himself. The slaves were more efficient and the gold coins grew visibly fast.

After about half an hour, Su Chen looked at the map and saw that its range had expanded significantly, but it was still far from the dark area.

Meanwhile, the Yuri recruits had made a discovery. In front of one of them was a Hounds!

The Hounds seemed to be resting, lying on the ground without any movement.

These soldiers had no intelligence. They acted according to Su Chen's instructions. Whatever he told them to do, they would do, just like in the game.

Su Chen didn't let the Yuri recruits attack the enemy. Instead, they changed direction to continue exploring the map.

In less than two hours, Su Chen had a rough idea of the map's layout. It seemed to be a combination of desert and forest, with half being desert and half being forest. There were many open-air gold mines on the ground, but no gem mines were discovered yet.

Su Chen's territory was just a corner of the map. Through the Yuri recruits, he found the map's boundary.

"Just like the game, you can't go beyond the boundary," Su Chen wasn't surprised.

Knowing his goal, Su Chen naturally wouldn't be careless. This was a matter of whether he could get out or not.

The most important thing was to protect his construction yard. Other buildings could be destroyed and still rebuilt, but if the construction yard was destroyed, he would be unable to build anything else and would lose the game.

Thus, Su Chen built a large number of Bio Reactors, the power plant of the Yuri faction, to protect the construction yard. He placed walls and Gatling guns around it and ensured sufficient protection.

The Yuri recruits patrolled around the base, ensuring that no enemy could enter the base.

Just as he was building his base, an alarm sounded. There were Invaders!

He looked at the map and saw a group of soldiers and three Grizzly tanks charging towards him.

"What a textbook attack pattern. Yuri recruits and Beastmen, let's go!" Su Chen commanded.

With his command, the first battle was about to begin!
