Based on her understanding of fierce beasts in her previous life, most fortresses at the primary level could not withstand mutated beasts.
Only the fortress established in the city of Abres, which was rich in blue crystals, had the ability to resist these beasts.
She was not entirely sure why only the fortress in that city could withstand them; she only knew that all surviving humans had received notices to head to the fortress at that time.
She was also on her way to the fortress when she was attacked and killed by a beast while trying to protect her husband.
Lily saw on the information panel that among all the primary fortresses in the Spirit Light Continent, only 5 fortresses are located in Abres City.
"You've got a great eye for it! The fortresses in Abres City are currently in high demand, and there aren't many left. May I ask what your budget is?" Li said enthusiastically.
Lily remained silent, maintaining her image as a cool and wealthy lady. She wasn't one for idle chatter, and she already had clear needs in mind.
After roughly browsing through the information of the 5 fortresses, Lily chose the cheapest one. It wasn't that she couldn't afford the others, but rather to minimize risk. In times of chaos, many robbers tend to emerge, and she didn't want to attract any unwanted attention.
"Well, you really have a good eye. This fortress is indeed the most cost-effective one, valued at 3 billion dollars. It also comes with 500 tons of Blue Crystals for energy use, which can meet the fortress's energy needs for five years.
You know that the energy supply for fortresses all comes from Blue Crystals. Each fortress requires at least 150 tons of Blue Crystals every year." Li seemed a bit excited.
"Okay, please give me all the detailed information about this fortress, and I also need to inspect it myself," Lily said coldly.
"Sure, just a moment please." As a gold medal salesperson, Li didn't take it to heart. He was a professional gold medal agent who could handle all types of customers with ease. He maintained his gentle and polite smile.
"Dear VIP, the space jump channel has been activated. Since you didn't make a prior reservation to view the property, you'll need to pay a deposit first, and also present your payment voucher," Li said as he led Lily to the doorway of a transparent room that looked like an elevator.
Alongside, other transparent rooms were visible. However, to protect the privacy of the clients, all guests wore virtual masks, concealing their true identities.
It was just that, for the protection of customers' privacy, all guests wore virtual masks and their true faces could not be seen.
Lily took out her black gold credit card and paid the deposit. After that, she activated her instant messaging device on her wrist, which displayed her personal savings balance—a staggering 10 billion dollars. This was her secret fund as a Spy, known only to herself.
"Great, your qualifications are excellent. Next, I'll take you to the fortress for a detailed introduction," Li said with a smile.
The several well-dressed gold medal agents nearby watched in puzzlement as Li personally explained things to Lily.
The several well-dressed gold medal agents standing nearby watched in bewilderment as Li personally explained things to Lily.
They couldn't understand why, because Li wasn't a frontline agent; he was the son of the company's boss and held the position of president.
Normally, he was arrogant and kept people at a distance, only stepping in when showing houses to important clients. It was strange to see him acting like a completely different person today.
The robot at the doorway scanned Li's face, and the door opened automatically. After they entered the small room, Li said, "Transport to the primary fortress - Blue Crystal 5."
As soon as he finished speaking, the environment around Lily began to change. Ten seconds later, they found themselves in the reception hall of Blue Crystal 5.
"This is a floating fortress that can hover at an altitude of 10,000 meters, powered by blue crystal stones. The fortress is constructed with top-quality materials, including sturdy rocks from the Arctic, high-strength organic concrete, and thousand-year-old golden phoenix wood," Li explained, as if he had personally built the fortress himself.
"I'm curious, why do you want to buy a fortress? Is it to hide from enemies?"
Lily was surprised to be asked this question. She felt that the agent had somewhat overstepped his boundaries.
She looked at Li in confusion and only then realized that he was a tall and handsome man with a sturdy build. His wheat-colored skin looked very healthy against the white suit, giving him a wild sense.
In her previous life, Lily loved her husband so much that she had no interest in other men. Now she suddenly felt like she had missed out on a billion opportunities.
Why hadn't she enjoyed her life and met better people?Lily couldn't help but ask herself.
But soon, reason took over. What was more important now was for her to immediately prepare for the future disaster, while not arousing anyone's suspicion.Otherwise, how could she enjoy life if she lost her life?
Lily remained silent, maintaining her indifferent attitude. She carefully examined everything in the fortress, checking the security system, food, water, and weapons
one by one. These were all equally important, if not more so, than the advantages
of the house itself.
"Are you sure this fortress can withstand the attack of wild animals? For example, the
impact of a 100-ton elephant ?" Lily wanted to confirm whether this seemingly not very sturdy fortress could safely survive the animal horde.
"You're really humorous! Don't worry, this fortress is more than what you see. " Li thinks this lady is very interesting. There's no such thing as a100-ton elephant in the world!
