《God-Level Hero》 Chapter 1:Prequel: Theres No Justice Just before the new year, Da Fei was fired from his job over a mistake he made. Even if he did not make any significant contribution, he worked hard! Would he still get his year-end bonus!? Da Fei was furious! Forget it. Although many places were recruiting high-paying workers before the new year, one deserved a few days of rest no matter how poor they were. He would wait till after the new year to look for a job. Da Fei was depressed and did not want to see anyone. Hence, he played games. It was said that there would be an awesome game to be released at the end of the year, named "Underlords". It would be a good way to pass time and vent some anger. Load the game, plot transition, Kingdom of Alesia, Kingdom of Enkidu, Tekken Empire, Indestructible Emperor. Annoying. I''m here to kill! Choose occupation: Warrior. Name: Kill the Bastard! ¡ªSystem Message: Sorry, Please use civilized language. Kill the Buster! Beginner''s Village With a 1-2 attack novice dagger, Da Fei could not wait to leave the village to kill rabbits. There were a few rabbits but many people. Da Fei got impatient and killed every rabbit in sight. ¡ª"Hey, damn you. Why did you kill-steal?" Because you''re nothing! Da Fei continued to kill all the rabbits and got scolded by many. ¡ª"F**k, if it''s not because those under Level 10 cannot be PK, I''ll kill you!" Damn. If I''m Level 10, I''ll kill you now! ¡ª"You, you, you, why are you like this. So uncivilized!" Not happy? Wahahaha, the more unhappy you are, the happier I am! ¡ªPublic Channel: "Kill the Buster" is a KS idiot! ¡ªPublic Channel: If anyone sees "Kill the Buster", kill him. Let him stay in the Beginner Village forever. Wahahaha, you plan too far ahead. I only care about irritating all of you now! At this moment, there was an uproar. "A Level 3 Rabbit King Boss has spawned!" Da Fei saw a huge rabbit spawn not far from where he was! Great, it feels good to kill something substantial. Kill! Hundreds of players nearby approached the Boss to kill it. Da Fei slashed his dagger to his left, -6! Great. To his right, -7! Fantastic. There was so much blood from the Boss, it felt great! Although it was a higher level Boss, under the attack of hundreds of players, it took less than 3 seconds for it to die! Rubbish! I didn''t even attack three times. What difference is it from an ordinary rabbit! ¡ª"Boss drop!!!" What did it drop? Dagger? Snatch! Snatch! Snatch, snatch, snatch!!! Shit, someone got it! ¡ªSystem Message: You received an ornament "Lucky Four-leaved Clover" Yay! There are so many people, yet I got something. I should go buy the lottery or something! Ornament? What is it? ¡ªLucky Four-leaved Clover: Only the luckiest people in the world can get a Lucky Four-leaved Clover. Increases Critical Hit by 4%, Increases immunity against negative status. Looks good. Did it really come from a Level 3 Boss? At this moment, one player exclaimed. "I got a Rabbit King Dagger, 3-6 Attack, Critical Hit +1%. Hahaha!" Several players expressed envy, jealousy, and hate. "Damn, why are you so lucky?" Pui! What''s there to be happy about! See what I''ll do! Da Fei pasted the attributes of the Lucky Four-leaved Clover, then added one word. "Haha!" The public channel exploded! ¡ª"Damn!!!" ¡ª"F**k, is there justice?! Such a high-grade item got snatched by a piece of trash!?" ¡ª"F**king piece of trash, asshole!" Wahahaha, there''s no justice! No justice at all! Why does nothing good ever happen to me in the company? Once in the game, I got something good like this! Wahahaha, piss you off. Piss all of you off! Fantastic! Hahaha! Da Fei posted the attributes of the four-leaved clover non-stop on the public channel and continued to KS rabbits. The public channel scolded him all afternoon. Da Fei reached Level 3 by kill-stealing the monsters. Ten attribute points were given for every level. Warriors required a lot of strength. At the same time, the power of his KS example had driven a large number of new players to follow suit, and it had become the norm. He felt a sense of accomplishment. Haha. Level 3 rabbits no longer garnered enough EXP. So, he went to the forest to kill giant caterpillars, making steady progress. Eh? Why are these few idiots following me? Follow, follow. Da Fei approached a giant caterpillar, and the other players quickly killed it. Oh, they''re here to take revenge. Childish! This game doesn''t matter to me at all. Even if my account is deleted, it''s nothing. You think you are able to piss me off? Sure, sure, sure. Whatever! At this moment, Da Fei saw a beautiful mage killing bugs in front. Beauty? Da Fei hated them the most! Women, other than eating, drinking, and playing all day long, what else can you do? Do you know how hard men work outside? You only know how to play. I''ll make it so you can''t play! Da Fei dashed forward and launched a Critical Hit attack! Killed in a second! Hahaha! Four-leaved clover indeed! This beauty, Ye Qinghan, looked at Da Fei''s name and frowned helplessly. Da Fei was famous now. It was hard not to know who he was! Not wanting to provoke him, the beauty went deep into the forest. Da Fei followed her, elated. When he saw her killing monsters, he said to the people around him, "Go!" The other players scolded. "Go my foot!" Da Fei humphed and went ahead to KS. The few players rushed over and explained. "Beauty, we are not in the same group as this idiot. We''re just KS-ing for revenge¡­" "Beauty, let''s form a team. This idiot won''t stand a chance, then!" The beauty nodded helplessly. "Alright." The few players gave Da Fei the middle finger. Da Fei rebutted by raising all his fingers! Everyone scolded him again! Go on, go on and scold me! Right in front of them, Da Fei attacked a caterpillar once with his dagger. Come on over and KS. No? He attacked it again. At this moment, the caterpillar bit Da Fei. Da Fei''s HP dropped by 1/4. It seemed this caterpillar''s attack was quite high. Da Fei attacked it again, and this Level 3 caterpillar died. Although it felt good to kill monsters with all his attributes added to Strength, it was quite painful when he got attacked. It did not seem like there were any potions for him to take. The players laughed. "Asshole, take your time!" Da Fei humphed. I''m not killing monsters anymore. I''ll play with you now. I''ll follow you everywhere you go and piss all of you off. Hence, Da Fei squatted among the players as they killed monsters. They thought Da Fei had finally given up and was secretly glad. Then, they chatted up with the beauty. A thief named "Random Dance" said, "Beauty, add me as a friend?" Ye Qinghan was stunned. Da Fei: "You?" Everyone glared at Da Fei. Ye Qinghan had no intention to add him. But, because of what Da Fei said, she nodded. "Okay." Everyone was elated. "I''m Eternal Silence, add me!" "I''m Bow on Arrow" "I''m Wind in Dreams" "I''m May Fly". "I''m Kill the Buster!" "Damn you! Stupid piece of trash, get lost!" Random Dance: "Beauty, our team is fully-equipped. Let''s go kill the Level 5 wolves." Da Fei: "Okay!" "Damn you! Stupid piece of trash, get lost!" Ye Qinghan nodded. "Okay!" Everyone advanced further into the forest. Da Fei followed suit. Random Dance scolded: "You''re so shameless!" Eternal Silence: "Forget it. Don''t waste your breath on him." In the wolf area, the archer led the monster, the warrior held the monster, the Thief and the Mage killed the monster, Healer healed. All was good. The only disharmony was Da Fei squatting beside Ye Qinghan. Da Fei was bored and initiated a topic. "Are you eighteen?" Ye Qinghan frowned and ignored him. Da Fei lectured: "A grown-up playing games, is that right?" Random Dance scolded: "Stupid piece of trash. Aren''t you playing as well?!" Wind in Dreams: "What has it got to do with you?!" Da Fei: "It''s harmful to be obsessed with games." Eternal Silence scolded: "Drop dead in front of the computer!" Da Fei: "Nine out of ten people get hemorrhoids!" Random Dance scolded: "Beauty doesn''t have hemorrhoids!" Da Fei: "Gays don''t have hemorrhoids." Ye Qinghan''s face turned red as she said angrily, "Ignore him!" "Humph!" Everyone continued killing wolves, and Da Fei continued talking rubbish. Everyone gritted their teeth and swore to kill him every time they saw him! After a while, a huge wolf appeared. Level 8 Wolf King! Everyone''s heart raced. When they saw its overwhelming level, they could not help but hesitate. Da Fei said sarcastically, "You can''t defeat it." Everyone scolded: "What has it got to do with you?!" Da Fei: "I''ll help." Eternal Silence sneered. "You''re only Level 3. It''s impossible for you to surpass our entire team. According to the damage dealt, you won''t get the drop item." Da Fei: "But you can''t defeat it." Everyone: "F**k!" At the start of the fight, the warriors had standby potions as they launched attacks. In no time, the Boss lost half its HP. It seemed there was no way for him to deal significant damage. It did not feel good to attack across levels. Da Fei gave up. It was not worth it. Everyone laughed. "Where''s the help you promised?" "Taking a break." "Trash!" With one-quarter HP left, the Boss howled and its body turned red and expanded. It went berserk! Its attack speed increased. Warrior May Fly''s HP went up and down like a roller coaster. Da Fei cheered on from the side. "Come on! Come on!" Everyone knew clearly who he was cheering for. As the healer, Wind in Dreams healed furiously! The others attacked fiercely. The difference in level was too big, after all. Wind in Dreams could not fill up the warrior''s HP bar, it seemed they were going to lose the battle. Dali: "I''ve had enough rest. I''ll come help!" He jumped up. Awuu! Warrior May Fly died! Everyone scolded: "Stupid piece of trash! Even if we can''t defeat it, we don''t need your help!" Ye Qinghan gritted her teeth. "Let''s give up. Don''t let him take advantage!" Everyone gave up attacking and left the Wolf King to attack. Da Fei ridiculed. "As a player, why would you play if you don''t have any sportsmanship?" With the current situation, it was impossible for Level 3 Da Fei to defeat it. It didn''t matter, anyway. Da Fei just wanted to piss them off for fun. The team was defeated. At this moment, the Wolf King Boss'' body suddenly shrunk. Its body''s color turned into gray-black again. After a short rage, it showed its weak form. Its attack speed dropped sharply. Da Fei was caught between laughter and tears. He attacked furiously and killed it. ¡ªSystem Message: You received Wolf Fang Club. ¡ªSystem Message: You received Wolfskin Armor. Wolf Fang Club: Attack: 20-25, Strength: +10. Wolfskin Armor: Defense: 100, Vitality: +10. This, sigh. There was really no justice. There was nothing left to say. He continued to show off its attributes on the public channel. Hahaha. Chapter 2:Prequel: Legendary Solo When Da Fei posted the attributes on the public channel, people immediately began to scold him. ¡ªPublic Channel : "Kill the Buster" is a BOSS-stealing piece of trash. That equipment was from the Wolf King Boss he stole from us! ¡ªPublic Channel : Be careful if you see "Kill the Buster" in the future. This piece of trash is a Boss-stealer. ¡ªPublic Channel : Haha! Hence, Da Fei, who had already incurred people''s ire, became everyone''s target. If the bastard reached Level 10, they would kill him every time they saw him. At this time, Da Fei discarded the beginner''s one-handed sword that had an Attack 1-2 and equipped the Attack 20-25 two-handed weapon, the Wolf Fang Club. He was able to kill a Level 3 Giant Caterpillar with one-hit. It felt great. Everyone avoided Da Fei like he was a pile of shit. No one was going to fight him for mobs? Humph, what would they use to win his one-hit kills? And so, Da Fei clubbed Level 3 Caterpillars to death and easily leveled up to Level 5. Hmm, there was actually quite a sense of achievement. It did not increase his stats much, so he continued attacking with all he had. Level 5, time to kill wolves. Yo! We meet again! The four idiotic youths are offering their services to a beauty? Humph, you idiots, can''t you see she''s just stringing you along? Watch me terrorize you. Da Fei greeted her. "Hello, beauty!" Five people scolded. "You trash, scram!" A wolf happened to spawn next to Da Fei and he attacked it. With just one hit, which happened to be a critical hit, it was an instant kill! Everyone''s eyebrows rose in surprise. Haha, good gear was most important! Da Fei waved the Wolf Fang Club in his hands. "Am I cool?" "Cool, my foot!" Da Fei rattled his Wolfskin Armor, showing it off. "Am I handsome?" "Handsome, my foot. Scram!" Da Fei nodded with satisfaction and said to Ye Qinghan, who glared angrily at him, "Beauty, there''s no future in being with such vulgar morons. They''re below you. Team with me? I''ll take care of you." Ye Qinghan''s eyes were full of disdain. She said coldly, "Scram!" Da Fei: "Why do you like hanging out with these four idiots?" Ye Qinghan said angrily, "Better than you, you''re trash." Da Fei nodded, then smiled and said, "That''s right, they are better than trash." The four of them shouted angrily. Da Fei laughed and went aside to continue killing wolves. Everyone suppressed their anger and directed their energy to kill wolves and leveling. Da Fei had the Wolf Fang Club in his hands and Wolfskin Armor on him. He had both attack and defense and could kill a wolf in two hits. If he got a critical hit, it would be a one-hit kill. With the EXP and efficiency, the only thing holding him back was the speed at which the mobs respawned! This hooked Da Fei, who had not played games for many years. Da Fei killed another wolf with one hit, then laughed and said, "Is the EXP from one wolf enough for the five of you to share?" Ye Qinghan said angrily, "Let''s go kill in the forest." The four of them said fiercely, "Yes!" Wahaha, he was just troubled about the wolves'' low re-spawn rate. There would be more for him if they left. Da Fei clubbed the wolves happily. No wonder people got angry when he killed their mobs. Da Fei got angry too when others tried to steal his mobs. Of course, he might not be happy about it, but his mental state had advanced. The most enjoyable part of playing games was not killing mobs, but building his happiness atop other''s misery. So, when Da Fei leveled up to Level 6, he immediately looked for the other people to disturb them. Eh, where did they go? Did they go deeper into the forest? Da Fei clubbed everything in his way to death as he searched. Along the way, other players scrambled quickly out of his way. Da Fei developed an "I''m a gangster, I''m not afraid of anyone" superiority complex. The howl of a wild beast was heard on a small hill in the forest. Da Fei went round the hill and found a cave. He went in to investigate and found that the howls within were deafening. Was there a Boss? He got his answer almost instantly. There was not only a Boss, but there was also a master. A Level 8 Thief named Dragon Scale was soloing a Level 13 tiger. Based on the tiger''s health bar, there was no doubt it was a Boss. The Thief moved strategically with a hyper state of awareness. He cleverly made use of the complex terrain in the cave to jump up and down and move back and forth, while the big tiger bumbled around in a futile attempt to catch him. Every time the tiger made a turn, its speed was reduced and the thief would take this opportunity to turn around and throw his poisoned daggers at it. He had reduced the tiger''s blood to half using this slow and tedious way of reducing its blood by one every second using the weak poison. Da Fei was dumbfounded. Da Fei often played games when he was a student. He enjoyed playing online strategy games or counter-terrorism games in Internet cafes with his classmates. Da Fei was the kind of player that was so weak people ignored him. He was either the first one dead or the last one taken. When his teammates booed him, Da Fei would always say, "This is the treatment of super pros!" His teammates would then glare at him and roll their eyes. This was the feel Da Fei was after, the reason he gamed. After graduation, Da Fei saved his salary and bought a computer. He still visited Internet cafes from time to time to enjoy the live battling atmosphere. Da Fei believed that games should be played together with others. Now, it was only a matter of time before this monkey-like guy killed the Boss. There was no doubt that he was doing the legendary "solo". Da Fei hated people like that who monopolized the benefits the most. His bosses loved doing that. He had to fight for some of the gains! No, the Boss'' blood was more than half gone. No matter what Da Fei did, the drops would belong to the Thief. If Da Fei fought the Boss, it would be equivalent to helping the other guy. That was why when the thief saw Da Fei come in, he was unperturbed. He was probably hoping Da Fei would try to attack the boss too. Damn, this "I''ve got everything under control" expression was the most annoying. Da Fei decided to distract him by talking to him. Da Fei greeted him. "Wow, pro." The tiger''s aggression was directed at the pro, so Da Fei was not worried that the tiger would hurt him. Dragon Scale cast a glance at Da Fei and ignored him. He continued attacking the tiger. "Pro, are you tired?" The pro continued to ignore him. Oh, it seems like my questions are very shallow. I shall talk about home affairs first. Da Fei asked, "I heard that property prices are dropping in all cities. At the same time, Wall Street is putting a stake in our financial market. Pro, do you think these two matters are related? How do you think this will affect the property and financial markets in our country in the future?" "¡­" Then, he talked about international affairs. "On the premise of refusing to abandon nuclear power, Comrade Xiao Jin put forth the idea of peaceful reunification of the peninsula. Do you think it''s possible? Does this have any ramifications to the peaceful reunification of our country?" "¡­" Not interested in current affairs? He would talk about pretty women instead. "About Sister Feng''s pregnancy¡­" Da Fei''s evil intentions were obvious and the pro simply ignored his chattering. The tiger was about to die. Aye, a pro, indeed. Not only was his technique strong, but his mind was also strong. Da Fei stood up helplessly. Suddenly, he heard a soft mewling. Upon hearing the sound, the pro''s expression changed and he turned to look at Da Fei uneasily. Showtime! Da Fei looked around but did not find anything. He turned back, looked at the pro again, and realized he had broken out in cold sweat! Hahaha, there must be something that worried the pro! He heard the mewling again. There! Da Fei dashed toward a dark corner. He rustled the pile of grass that was there and saw a tiger cub! "Haha! Pro, thanks!" Da Fei picked up the cub, pleased. "F**k!" The pro who was already so anxious he had broken out in cold sweat finally swore. ¡ª"Ah!" The pro who had made no mistakes thus far finally made a mistake at the very last moment. ¡ªSystem Message: You have discovered the tiger cub. Warning, the mother tiger will attack you in 3 seconds! "Roooar!" The tiger Boss killed the pro in one hit, roared loudly and sprung toward Da Fei. At this time the Boss'' health bar was practically empty. Da Fei clenched his Wolf Fang Club tightly and hit the oncoming tiger on its head. Piak! "-11" "-156" Damage points appeared atop both their heads. In the end, the tiger died and Da Fei''s health bar was almost empty. It was lucky he had good equipment. ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed the Tiger King Boss and obtained one Tiger King pet. ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained the "Tiger King Cloak". Tiger King Cloak: Made with tiger skin, thick and durable. Defense +150, Vitality +15. Wahaha, the defense on this cloak was higher than that of the Wolfskin Armor. Cool! Da Fei immediately showed off on the Public Channel. ¡ªPublic Channel : Kill the Buster, just wait and see. The Dragon Slayers Guild will PK you till you cannot even leave the Beginner''s Village. The Public Channel was once again in an uproar. Dragon Scale? The head of the Dragon Slayer Guild? The Dragon Slayer Guild had come to establish themselves in Underlords! This piece of trash was really dead this time. ¡ªPublic Channel : Haha! So, he was the Guild Master. It seems that leaders tend to monopolize things instead of sharing. However, this habit of yours has simply gotten out of hand. If you had a little partner or something, at least you would not have ended up with nothing! Haha, serves you right if you die from getting pissed off! Chapter 3:Prequel: Ill Be The Dragon Slayer Guild Master On the first day of the New Year, there were more festive lanterns on the streets of Changchun, but the crowd was not like before. Along the rows of shops that were closed for the New Year, the Dragon Slayer Internet Caf¨¦ was crowded as usual throughout the night. Internet cafe owner Ma Yinglong screamed at the computer on the counter anxiously. "Damn, a bunch of good-for-nothings. The thirty of you at Level 15 cannot even defeat this Level 20 rubbish?" Everyone was on the brink of tears. "Boss, his equipment is too good!" "The key is that his Tiger King pet''s Shudder special. It causes too much damage!" "Boss, he''s blocking our way out of the village. What do we do?" "What do we do!?" Ma Yinglong threw the mouse aside and sighed. "Ignore this trash first. Those idiots from Star Guild want to compete for the Guild Order from the Boss. We must not let them win. Notify our brothers online, bring sufficient potions!" "Boss, it''s the first day of the New Year. A lot of our brothers are not online today!" Ma Yinglong raged. "The people from stars are not celebrating the New Year?" The crowd in the cafe howled. "Boss, they got a beautiful lady to hold the fort. They''re not celebrating the New Year!" Ma Yinglong roared. "Pui! How many beautiful ladies can play games? Don''t be afraid, let''s do it!" The crowd submitted. "That''s¡­" Ma Yinglong stood up to loosen his aching muscles from staying up all night and sorted out his thoughts. The more he tried to clear his mind, the more unbearable it was. Since he let that piece of rubbish steal the Tiger King pet the day before yesterday, that rubbish started snowballing. It was not a big problem for him to snowball. He just had to get a dozen brothers to kill him. But that trash was unbelievably lucky. He cultivated an S-level beast kind with a rare special, Shudder. This was a low-level dragon might. It was an eyesore in the beginning stage of the game. In any case, he would let him off first. He would take care of him when they had settled the Guild Order! A piece of rubbish dared to go against the Dragon Slayer Guild? Was he courting death? As he gnashed his teeth in hatred, Chang Liang brought over two cup noodles and shouted, "Brother Peng, your noodles are ready!" "Xiao Liang, I want one too. Chicken soup-flavored." "Okay, I''ll make it when the water boils!" Ma Yinglong frowned. "Chang Liang, you didn''t go home last night?" Chang Liang chuckled. "Boss¡ª" Ma Yinglong''s expression darkened. "Damn! I''m not your boss. I don''t take in underage students who play truant!" The crowd in the cafe jeered. "Boss, Xiao Liang has been working here part-time this entire winter holiday, just take him in!" "Go, go, go. Keep your mouths shut!" Ma Yinglong said, upset, "Chang Liang ah, even if you want to play on the computers for free, there is a time and place for it. Do you know what day was yesterday? New Year''s Eve!" Ma Yinglong took a stack of cash from the counter. "There should be about one thousand here. Keep it properly. Go home!" Chang Liang was shocked yet undecided. "Big Brother¡­" The cafe crowd laughed. "Boss, is this money for the new year, or reimbursement for his work?" Ma Yinglong waved his hand impatiently. "Whatever. Don''t let me see you before the 8th of the New Year!" Chang Liang groaned. "8th! I can''t play for an entire week, then!" Ma Yinglong said coldly, "How about I draw the line. You must be in the top 100 of the mid-term exam for the next semester. Otherwise, I won''t take you in." Chang Liang was shocked. "Big Brother, what has gaming got to do with my midterm exam?" Ma Yinglong laughed coldly. "Of course it''s related. If you can''t be in the top 100, your IQ must not be high enough. I don''t take in idiots here!" Chang Liang pointed at the cafe crowd anxiously. "Boss, Brother Peng and the others are slackers. They have never been in the top 100!" Ma Yinglong raged. "That''s why they''re idiots! Tens of them could not even defeat a piece of rubbish! Take the money and get lost!" The crowd in the cafe cried. "Boss, you can insult our personality, but please don''t insult our IQ!" "What IQ!" ¡­ At this moment, Da Fei''s smug laughter shook the windows! "Hehe, preventing me from leaving the village? See me once, kill me once? Who would be the one that cannot leave the village? Who would kill who? Dragon Slayer Guild? Wahahahaha~" Da Fei casually lit a cigarette to calm himself down. What was next? Continue to kill to skip-level Boss? Che, low-level fun. Snatching Bosses was the right way. Fighting with others was more fun! He went online to see what they were up to first. He heard a knock on the door, and then Xiao Li''s voice was heard. "Brother, what are you doing?" What else can I be doing? Looking at his almost empty cigarette pack, Da Fei yelled, "I''m busy, go buy a pack of cigarettes for me!" Xiao Li pushed the door open, then frowned and fanned with her hand. "Such a strong smoke smell. Brother, you didn''t sleep last night?" "I stayed up all night on New Year''s Eve, do you understand?" Da Fei took out ten dollars. "Buy White Sand!" Xiao Li was shocked. "You started smoking cigarettes that cost ten dollars?" Da Fei coughed dryly. "Buy two packets! Buy the one with a white box, not the black one. That''s the one that costs ten dollars." Xiao Li said in shock, "You smoke two packets a day?" Da Fei frowned. "I''m doing big business. I need inspiration. You won''t understand. Hurry up!" Xiao Li frowned. "Are you going to the temple fair? It''s New Year''s Day!" Da Fei took out a hundred dollar bill impatiently. "Here go you. Money for the New Year! Help me pray to Buddha." Xiao Li frowned. "Are you playing games? My teacher said gaming makes people lose their aspirations. Why are you like that?" Da Fei took a drag of his cigarette. "Your teachers only care about their own achievements. They don''t care about aspirations. You''re too young, you won''t understand." Xiao Li said anxiously, "That''s not it¡ª" "Enough!" Da Fei took another hundred dollar bill and waved his hand. "More money for you. Hurry up and buy my cigarettes. Two packets! Quick go, quick go!" "No!" She slammed the door and left angrily. Da Fei was speechless. Xiao Li was no longer the little sister who was full of admiration for her brother. She had started to talk back to him. Was he such a failure? You don''t even understand how hard men have to work! As he was sulking, Da Fei found out the advertisement about the Star Guild beauty fighting the Guild Order Boss. Da Fei was furious. Yo, a beauty leading? Can she make it? Deal, I''m getting this Guild Order for sure! It seems this is the first Guild Order in the game. Dragon Slayer Guild? When I get hold of the Guild Order, I''ll name my guild "Dragon Slayer", and I''ll be the Guild Master. Then, I''ll recruit some rubbish members and commit all sorts of evil crimes. See how I''ll piss all of you off. Haha. Wahahaha~ To stay up as late as possible on New Year''s Eve, to send off the old year and welcome the new. It''s believed that the later they stay up, the longer their parents will live. Chapter 4:Godly Hero Year 20xx, the global economy was weak, unemployment was rising and the situation was volatile. The two superpowers, China and the United States decided to work together to lead the world out of trouble. The United States had also begun a series of major measures to reduce military expenditure and generate revenue. Among them, the US Marine Corps code-named "Alien Fighter" US military holographic simulation supercomputer military exercise system was converted to civilian use. Russia and China''s major game companies had jointly developed a holographic reality super game "Hero Genesis" that players from all over the world could participate in! A super game that combined fantasy, adventure, war, trade, territory construction, nautical exploration, competitive gaming, and leisure. While the game was still in the process of research and development, the development companies of various countries had already started to hype it globally. In 20xx, Spring, "Hero Genesis" would be launched simultaneously worldwide! Young people all over the world were crazy about it! In China, the Chinese agents of Hero Genesis placed advertisements everywhere! ¡ªDo you want to compete with world-class players? Do you want to fly freely in a fantasy world? Do you want to be a hero admired by thousands of people? Do you want to have your own castle and lead your army proudly? Do you want to be a high-income professional player? Come on! "Hero Genesis" will make your dreams come true! ¡­ Da Fei, a 30-year-old freelancer engaged in the logistics industry of the construction industry, and a former casual online game player, saw the infinite business opportunities of Hero Genesis and resolutely joined the queue of customers. Where was the business opportunity? This was a game that had been hyped up. It was a pay-to-win game where rich people led soldiers to fight and build castles. Where did the soldiers come from? What if the soldiers died? Gold! Everyone understood. It was the third day that the game had been officially launched. If it were not because he was waiting for his year-end salary to buy the equipment, Da Fei would have queued up overnight at the shop with his bedding on the night of the launch. As a professional player, it was a failure to lose out to tens of millions of people on the starting line by three days! There was no other way, he had to step up the leveling. Da Fei thought for a while, then made a phone call to his little sister who was studying at the university. "Xiao Li, I resigned and found a new job with a high income, so I won''t be going back this New Year. Tell Mum and Dad for me." For a talent like Da Fei, it was easy to resign. It was also not difficult to find a new job. There was no shortage of work in the world, only people who were willing to do this kind of work. A surprised and capable female voice came over the phone. "What? You''re not going back for New Year, how could you?" Da Fei said helplessly, "Do you know how many positions are shorthanded during the New Year? The income for taking over people''s jobs during New Year is three or four times that of usual! Alright, call me when your holiday starts. I''ll send your luggage to the station!" "No need, someone will send it." Da Fei''s heart skipped a beat and he asked anxiously, "Who? That Liu Dawei again! Have you kissed yet? Slept together? Are you pregnant? Hurry and get rid of the pauper! He should be thinking about ways to make money while in school and not chasing after girls. I''m going to beat him up every time I see him!" Xiao Li said anxiously, "What are you talking about! We''re just classmates!" Da Fei said angrily, "Ordinary classmates my foot! When I was in school, I got all my female ordinary classmates'' pregnant and left them! Now, they aren''t even qualified to marry into a rich family!" Xiao Li said angrily, "They got pregnant from your bragging!" Da Fei''s spirit was shaken. "Yes! They got pregnant from my bragging!" Xiao Li was annoyed. "I''m not talking to you anymore. I''m hanging up!" Da Fei sighed deeply. Your brother just wants the best for you! As the eldest son in the family, he finished university with money his family barely could spare. He should have been the hope of the family, but Da Fei was a disappointment and he became the laughing stock of his hometown. On the contrary, his sister was clever and bright. Her results were excellent. She not only managed to get into a prestigious university, but she also won a scholarship and did not have to burden her family with the school fees. How bad did that make her brother look? When he enrolled in university, his sister, who was still in junior high, idolized him! But now¡­ sigh! More importantly, his little sister was beautiful and the school belle. If she managed to hook up with a rich man at university, their family would be rich! She was the hope of the family! The problem was, she was blind. There were so many rich young masters there, but she ended up liking that pauper who had no money and no connections! What was so good about that pauper? He was just the tall gigolo from the track and field team who could write poems and flirt. It was all worthless! He had no money and no skills. That made him a pile of shit! As long as he had a breath left in him, those two could dream about being together! So what if he was on the track and field team? He had been in the construction industry for so many years. He could kill him with a brick! He would call their dormitory at night to inquire about the schedule! Hehe, it was best if it was Xiao Fang who answered the phone! The long queue gradually shortened. The advertisements of the game replayed again and again on the big screen wall in front of the sales store. Da Fei was also burning with passion! This was the world of heroes. This world had no complicated agility attributes that could not be understood by players, no fancy weapons. All attributes were simplified into Attack, Defense, and Damage. It was simple and convenient for players to calculate. What was the Attack? What was the Defense? What was the Damage? Human strength had its limits, but the mode of destruction was unlimited. A person could do his best to punch a wall, and the wall would not spill a drop of blood! If you used a heavy hammer and hit the wall with all your strength, the wall would be destroyed instantly! Using different tools, the same force would cause different damage. The limited strength was the Damage. The hammer represented the Attack, and the wall represented the Defense. Attack and Defense were always relative. Different attacks and defenses had different damage. The role of the hero was to enhance the offense and defense of the entire army by enhancing his own offensive and defensive forces so that the troops with limited damage could exert unlimited destructive power! The role played by the gamer was a hero who made one''s blood come alive! Just watch and see! When he was playing games in the past, he was an internet addiction treatment expert respected by everyone! He had such achievements when he was playing casually. Now that he was going to play seriously, what could he achieve? Games with only local servers were not good enough for him. Only a world-class game like this could be his stage! For this day, he had done ample homework on the public forum and official website! He had already memorized the construction materials for the military buildings of the various races! He was going to be rich! He would have a house and a car, as well as a wife! Wahahaha! Just then, the large-screen ads suddenly changed to something else. ¡ª"Hello, gamer friends, it''s now time for the live broadcast of Hero News. Today we have invited the Chinese spokesperson of Hero Genesis, a famous professional esports player, Miss Deng Jiayi from Team Star to be our guest here at our live broadcast room. Please welcome her!" ¡ª"Hello, everyone! This is Deng Jiayi!" A fresh and pleasant face appeared in front of the big screen. "Wow!!! Goddess!!!" The crowd of players waiting in line clamored! Da Fei stared so hard his eyes almost popped out! Deng Jiayi, a Goddess who had both beauty and ability. Her game ID was "Bu Feiyun". Everyone knew who she was! She was his dream lover! Host: "We just received a message that some players in Japan have used the random lottery system and got a hero whose talent is Mobile Master. This is the second rare talent hero in Japan after the Hell Gate Master. Mitsubishi Team bought it for 8 million US dollars. Can Miss Deng Jiayi express her views on this matter from a professional perspective?" Eight million US dollars!!! Everyone on the street erupted! Da Fei felt like he had been hit by a huge earthquake! This was more than a business opportunity, it was like buying a lottery ticket and getting rich overnight, a life changer! As for what the lucky draw was about, there was no need to ask further. In a pay-to-win game like this one, as long as one was willing to spend money in-game, they would earn a chance to win an especially amazing character when they created their account! What? Not fair? Since when was competition fair? Asians could not outrun African Americans, African Americans could not out-swim Caucasians. Should they blame God? Countless facts had proved that the more unfair a pay-to-win game was, the more popular it was! The more it was able to spawn a large number of "service industry" personnel! The more it could solve the unemployment problem that plagued various countries! People who did not want to spend did not have to worry either, they could still train hard for good skills later on in the game. The screen changed to show an introduction of the hero''s talents: ¡ªMobile Master: Every time the hero gains three levels, the attack speed and movement speed of the hero''s army increases by 1%! The entire street went wild again! The skills of the hero could be obtained through the player''s continuous hard work, but a hero''s talent was predetermined. It was the only thing that distinguishes a strong hero from a weak one! Deng Jiayi smiled bitterly. "This is really an incredible strategic talent! In the later part of the game, the hero''s troops will all start off the game with rage and acceleration. Troops from the Infernal Race are already fast, this is the cherry on top! We can imagine that since Japan already has both rare heroes, they will definitely spare no effort in developing the Infernal Race. Once it''s time to compete, China will face tremendous pressure!" Host: "Can a hero like this one be considered a Godly Hero?" Deng Jiayi smiled helplessly. "Beta players coined the term Godly Heroes. The game only has Ordinary Heroes, Epic Heroes, and Legendary Heroes. However, the talent of the Mobile Master is indeed beyond the scope of known Legendary Heroes. It''s not an exaggeration to call him a Godly Hero. At the moment, I cannot figure out how to counter such a hero in the latter part of the game!" The host smiled and said, "We have so many players in China. If everyone takes part in the draw, someone would definitely get a very powerful hero, right?" Deng Jiayi smiled and said, "If you draw a so-called Godly Hero, our club''s boss will surely be willing to pay a few million to buy the account! But you often get random ordinary heroes and even some with really weird talents from the lottery draws. This is not good for an ordinary new player. I actually do not approve of players playing the lottery. It''s better to customize your hero according to your own preferences. After all, in the latter part of the game, players can still rely on their own efforts to upgrade their specialties." The host smiled and said, "So far, Hero Genesis has been running for three days. At present, the rankings of rare heroes that have been published by various countries are as follows. Please look at the big screen¡ª" Ranking of rare heroes: 1. Death Lord¡ªAny undead monster in the wild will join the hero''s team unconditionally at half value. Owner: Swedish player Vurtne. Hero Valuation: 10 million US dollars. 2. Hell Gate Master¡ªAs the hero levels up, the effect of the Devil Lord Hero''s skill "Hell Gate" improves. Owner: Japanese Mitsubishi Team. Hero Valuation: 6 million US dollars. 3. Unicorn Girl¡ªEvery time the hero gains 2 levels, the unicorn army will gain 1 Attack and Defense life. Owner: American Supernova Team. Hero Valuation: 3 million US dollars. 4. Siege Technician¡ªEach time the hero gains 2 levels, the attack and defense of the crossbow vehicle increases by 1 point. Owner: Russian War Angels. Hero Valuation: 3 million US dollars. 5. Knight Icon¡ªAs the hero levels up, the effect of the knight hero''s professional skill "Blessing Ceremony" improves. Owner: The Royal Ark Team. Hero Valuation: 3 million US dollars. 6. Vampire Princess¡ªEach time the hero gains 2 levels, the Attack and Defense of the vampire army increases by 1 point. Owner: French player Natasa. Hero Valuation: 1 million US dollars. 7. Griffon Breeder¡ªEvery time the hero gains 2 levels, the Griffon army''s offense is increased by 1 point. Owner: China Star Team. Hero Valuation: 1 million US dollars. ¡­ As they looked at the ranking list, everyone on the street got worked up! Da Fei''s heart pounded wildly! Although he knew that the game had been hyped up, he did not expect it to be so crazy! The feeling was almost like opening the lottery website and realizing everyone in the world had won except him! He should go try his luck too, should he not? Although the program''s intention to encourage everyone to spend money on the game was obvious, it was just 1,000 yuan, right? He had bought lottery tickets for so many years, it should have added up to 8,000 if not 10,000, right? Having said that, even if a master like himself failed and drew a common account, it would be okay too! Chapter 5:The Choice of Fate Da Fei returned to the dormitory carrying a large box, then he carefully configured the machine step-by-step according to the instructions. He connected the backup power supply, connected the holographic helmet, then took a bath and smoked a cigarette¡ªevery time he bought a lottery ticket, Da Fei would lit an incense, take a bath, and pray. This was a new beginning for Da Fei''s career, it was necessary to attach great importance to it! He had never won a lottery after so many years of buying. He had accumulated so much moral over the years, it should be enough to break the records. People, unlike trees, thrived on change. This time, if he could not get a Godly Hero worth ten million, he should at least be able to get a hero worth a few thousand, right? He did not ask for much. As long as it covered the cost of the lottery. In the game, the first ten levels were the beginner stage. Running errands and completing missions in the main city. Progressing steadily with a small number of low-level troops rewarded through simple missions. It was different for the lottery. The beginning place was usually very remote. It was okay. Da Fei was prepared. 12:12:12. Now was the auspicious time! Enter the game! ¡ªSystem Message: Great hero, welcome to the Hero Continent in China. Please register your name! Hero Genesis was divided into seven independent service areas in North America, European Union, Russia, India, China, Japan, and South Korea. Each service area was called Hero Continent. Except for the different maps, the game was almost the same for players in each service area. Seven service areas then connected a super service area, New World! Players from all countries could meet here. The New World was also known as the National War Zone, where all the players'' were ignited in Hero Genesis! The official advertisement material was very simple. It was a huge planet similar to Earth surrounded by seven much smaller Earths. These seven small Earths were the seven service areas. The big Earth in the middle was the New World. Of course, the main idea of Hero Genesis was the seven old worlds declared war on the New World. ¡ªName: Da Fei! ¡ªSystem Message: Name available! Registration successful! The Hero Continent includes three Light factions: Templar, Elf, and Dwarf; three Dark factions: Undead, Orc, and Demon; and the Neutral faction of the Mage College that cannot be selected under normal circumstances. Each newborn hero can choose his own hero abilities and an initial hero skill. Please select your faction and hero ability! Alternatively, choose Random Lottery! ¡ªRandom Lottery! The abilities open for players selection are all common abilities that are not worth much! This is what I''m betting on! ¡ªSystem Message: Hero! Are you sure you want to let your destiny be handled by the gods? Yes! My fate will be decided by the heavens, not by me! ¡ªSystem Message: Hero! Please wait for the choice of fate! A white light flashed, and a tall, handsome, well-built man with a wooden gun appeared in front of him! Alright, that was the default human male system configuration according to the player''s real age! Da Fei could not wait to open the attribute panel. He held his breath! A symbol that he had never seen before! It was not a common skill! What was this strange sailing boat symbol? Could it be a nautical skill? Da Fei felt uncomfortable and hurried to check! ¡ªStorm Voyager: The safety of the hero''s fleet increases when sailing in a severe storm. (Note: The prerequisite is that the hero needs to have a large Galleon with good wave-resistance. The hero needs to meet a certain level of reputation in order to be eligible to purchase the large Galleon at the shipyard.) Da Fei was stunned! Non-combat ability was not worth much! If he had gotten a random low-level military ability, a public skill ability, or a business ability, he would at least feel more at ease. The problem was, what was it with giving him an ability that depended on the weather? And he had to have a large Galleon. How much did a Galleon cost? He even needed reputation in order to buy it? The point was, with this ability, should he wish for a storm or for there not to be wind? This was a preventive ability, not a beneficial ability. Was it trying to piss him off? ¡ªSystem Message: Hero''s ability selection completed. Please use the remaining one skill point to select hero skill. For your initial development, it is recommended that the hero''s first skill matches your hero''s ability! Da Fei finally came to himself and sighed deeply! This was fate! Fate wanted him to set his mind to earn gold by sailing boats! His ability enabled seacraft to avoid the threat from the weather. The other Pirate Naga and whatnots would be up to him! That''s right. He was old enough. He did not have the time to kill and fight with the little kids. Earning gold was the way! Without hesitating, Da Fei added the free skill point to a public skill ability¡ªnautical skill! ¡ªSystem Message: You received a free beginner''s nautical skill book from the System! When you receive skill points, you may upgrade your nautical skills level using the skill book, or learn side skills recorded in the book. ¡ªSystem Message: You have learned Elementary Nautical Skill! ¡ªElementary Nautical Skill: The speed of the hero''s seacraft will increase by 20%. Currently, Da Fei''s attributes were: Player''s level: Level 1 Occupation: Pikeman (Ordinary form of Level 1 Templar. Skill: Pike, Pike Formation), Level 1 Explorer (In the game, the function of the hero skills is classified into four categories: Explorer, Commander, Lord, Scholar. Navigation is an exploration skill.) Reputation: 0 (You are a nobody, and will not receive special missions or invitations. Killing players of the same faction or NPCs decreases your reputation.) Command Power: 0 (The number of troops that a hero can lead. Currently unable to control any troops. Each unit has a basic command value requirement. The command value of a Level 1 soldier is 1. When the hero''s command power reaches 10, you can command 10 Level 1 soldiers.) Tactical position: 1 (The type of troops the hero can lead, as well as the number of sub-heros. Currently able to command one army, one sub-hero.) Attack: 0 (Improve the lethality of the hero and his troops. Attack and Defense are the strategic attributes of heroes, which can affect the advancement of the whole army.) Defense: 0 (Decrease the lethality of the hero and his troops.) Mana: 0 (Mana can enhance the effect of hero spells.) Knowledge: 0 (Each knowledge point can increase 10 mana to the hero.) Life: 10 (The hero will die when killed.) Attack Speed: Normal, 10 (10 is the standard speed, which takes reference from the attack speed of all living beings. Units with a fast attack speed are not only able to attack first but also have an increased attack frequency. For example, the attack speed of a zombie is 5, which means that the player attack frequency is twice that of zombies. The Phoenix attack speed is 20, which means that Phoenix attacks twice as often as the player.) Movement Speed: 10 (Maximum movement speed of 10 meters per second, there is a fixed % chance of evading enemy attacks while running. The faster the running speed, the higher the chance, and the higher the stamina consumed.) Basic Damage: 1-3 (Damage dealt to the enemy''s health points.) (Note: The damage value changes according to the difference between the Attack and Defense of both parties. When the Attack is greater than the enemy''s Defense, each additional Attack point increases 5% of the damage, and each additional Defense point decreases 5% of the damage. Final damage = basic damage ¡Á (1 + Attack and Defense difference 5%); according to this formula, when the Attack is 20 points higher than the enemy''s Defense, the damage is doubled! Hence, high-level soldiers are very powerful when attacking low-level soldiers.) (Note: When Attack is lower than the enemy''s Defense, the final damage = basic damage ¡Â (1 + Attack and Defense difference ¡Á 5%); when Attack is lower than the enemy''s Defense by 10 points, the damage dealt is only 2/3. When the Attack is lower than Defense by 20 points, the damage dealt is only 1/2. When the Attack is lower than Defense by 40 points, the damage dealt is only 1/3. Hence, it is difficult for low-level soldiers to fight against high-level soldiers. It would be difficult to even do a normal attack.) Morale: 1 (Additional damage bonus when high morale troops attack low morale troops, and the number of deserters decreases when a battle is lost.) Luck: 0 (There is no chance of the lucky move that doubles damage, nor will there be a doom effect that halves the damage. Each point of luck increases the chance of doubling critical strike by 1%.) Stamina: 100 (The troops'' stamina will reduce during combat or marching. When stamina is reduced to less than 10%, the Morale, Speed, and Damage of the hero will be weakened. Stamina will be 10% weaker for a period after a hero dies and resurrects. Stamina is set such that it allows a player to grind down the Stamina of a powerful enemy through a large number of weak troops to achieve self-preservation and even gain victory.) ¡­ After he had built his character, the screen flashed white and Da Fei appeared in a magnificent and solemn hall. A winged angel named Safiro looked at the dozens of players who were whispering questions to each other below her. Hall of Destiny. This was where random players arrived after building their characters. They were sorted out here. Since the player chose a random skill, the starting location would also be random. However, the NPC examiner would ask the player some questions, then decide on the player''s starting location based on their answer. At this moment, white lights flashed non-stop and players continued to enter the hall. Then, the door closed with a loud bang and the whole hall suddenly dimmed. A majestic voice resounded through the hall: ¡ª"Welcome to the Hero Continent, children of destiny. However, you are very unlucky to meet me! I hate useless people who put their destiny in others'' hands, but I love the feeling of dominating others'' destiny. Now, the exam begins!" A spotlight in the dim hall shone on a player named "Evil Little White Wolf" in the crowd and dozens of players looked at the first candidate with pity in their eyes! It was already the third day of service. New players already knew how awful this examiner was. The victim in front would provide the rest of the players with valuable information about the examiner''s personality so that they could give the most reliable answer. Safiro said indifferently, "You have received God''s favor and possess the ability of a Lord, but I don''t think you deserve it. Answer me, what''s most important to a Lord?" All the players could not help but raise their voices in an uproar! Even the NPC said that his ability was good, then he must have made it! Evil Little White Wolf coughed and said, "Of course, it''s operating a mine." Safiro chuckled. "An answer very suitable for your ability. Then, I will satisfy you and arrange for you to mine at the Haunted Mine Pit in the Death Mountains!" "F**k!" With a flash of white light, Evil Little White Wolf disappeared. Was that map a place for newcomers? Everyone''s heart clenched tight. However, they couldn''t help but gloat. At least now, everyone had an idea of how awful this examiner was. The spotlight shone again on a female player named "Sudden Youth". The player was so scared she could not help but jump. ¡ª"Another one with the Lord''s ability. What''s most important to a Lord?" The female player said tentatively, "Run, run a farm¡­" Safiro sneered. "An answer very suitable for your specialty!" All the players could not help but sigh silently. How did she not learn anything from the last person?! ¡ª"Very good, please listen to the question. There are 450 chickens and ducks on the farm. After half of the chickens are sold and 30 ducks are bought, the number of chickens is twice that of ducks. How many chickens and ducks are there? My patience is limited, answer quickly. If you can''t even count, how are you qualified to be a Lord? I will arrange a suitable job for you on the farm. For example, clearing chicken manure!" Everyone was suddenly in an uproar! They were getting tested on primary school math questions? However, who knew the answer? Sudden Youth immediately shouted, "384 chickens and 66 ducks!" The examiner shouted in excitement, "The answer is correct, add 10 points! With your talent, you should go where you are supposed to go!" Everyone was in an uproar! Her mental calculations ability was too amazing! Although the question was not difficult, the difficult part was answering it so quickly! At the same time, ten golden lights shone on the female player from the sky, and she instantly rose to Level 10! Then, in a flash of white light, she disappeared! Everyone was shocked! You get to jump 10 levels if you answer a primary school question correctly. That was ridiculous! Sure enough, a player shouted angrily, "Ridiculous! Unfair! Too unfair!" The spotlight in the hall instantly focused on this young man who was in his 20s¡ªRaging Sea of Blood! Everyone suddenly realized he was wearing a steel sword on his waist, leather armor on his body, and a thick wooden shield on his back. He was actually a shield guard! Templar Level 3 Shield Guard. (Shield Defender: Attack 2, Defense 8, Life 20, Damage 2-5, Attack Speed 12, Speed 8, Command Value 2, Skill: Giant Shield, Shield Formation. When a player becomes a Shield Defender, the starting weapon and equipment come with personal Attack +2 and personal Defense +8. Personal Attack and Defense will not affect the troops. Command Power 2 means that 2 points of command are required to lead a shield guard.) Wow! All the Pikemen were in an uproar! His starting stats were so good! Others started as weak pikemen with 0 Attack and Defense, 1-3 damage, 10 Life. He was a third-level soldier with 10 points more than others! And he did not think it was embarrassing to say it was unfair? Safiro smiled coldly. "Fairness? You people who have chosen to let God decide your fates just want to take a shortcut? Are you worthy of fairness?" Raging Sea of Blood said coldly, "I spent money to get the chance of God''s choice, this is fair! As for you, you level others up randomly, that is unfair!" Safiro laughed. "When you allow others to control your destiny, don''t dream that you will be treated fairly! However, I can give you a fair chance if you have the power to grasp it!" Raging Sea of Blood proudly said, "I let God choose because no matter what my fate is, I have the ability to rise above it! My ability is Admiral, you do what you must!" He had publicly announced his hero ability! ¡ªAdmiral: The overall combat effectiveness of the hero''s army at sea increases with the hero''s level. Everyone exclaimed. "Godly Hero!!!" The overall combat effectiveness was increased! It was not just improving Attack and Defense! Combat power included Attack, Defense, Speed, Morale and so on! Who would be able to defeat him at sea? Da Fei''s mouth gaped open! Were there that many Godly Heroes? They all bought the lottery at the same time. Why did he not have such good luck? They both had water-related abilities. Compared to his, Da Fei''s was rubbish! Ridiculous! Unfair! It was not fair! Safiro smiled coldly. "Very well, the deserted island on the farthest frontier of the empire urgently needs aspiring young guards. Go be an Admiral there!" The white light flashed and Raging Sea of Blood disappeared! Everyone sighed. The spotlight flashed, and this time it stopped on Da Fei''s head! It''s my turn? Safiro said coldly, "What is your ambition?" Da Fei''s heart skipped a beat! The annoying thing seemed to be consecutively picking people with similar abilities. After the Admiral, it was his Storm Voyager''s turn! However, they might have similar abilities, but he was not going to some deserted island at the frontier. He would take a job in the port in the city to gain reputation and save money to buy a Galleon! Da Fei answered seriously, "I want to be a shipping merchant and make my own contribution to the commercial prosperity of the empire." Safiro said evenly, "Really? The desert island of the most remote frontier of the empire urgently needs aspiring young people to develop it. Go be a shipping merchant there!" "F**k!" A white light flashed and Da Fei disappeared! The scene changed! Blue sea, blue sky, and seagulls flew about in the sky. ¡ªSystem message: You have arrived at the beginner island, Island of Miracles! Another person was also looking around beside him. It was Raging Sea of Blood! (Note: Galleon sailing ship, the most mainstream large ocean sailing ship from the 16th to the 18th century in the western nautical powers. It had 4 masts, was 50 meters long and displaced 2000 tons of water. It was replaced by steamships after the Industrial Revolution. The ships in the game are of antique design.) Chapter 6:Deserted Island for Two This was a deserted island measuring at only a few hundred meters in diameter. Apart from the few coconut trees and a battered ship from the past, nothing else was here! A novice village with no people! This opening was basically a desperate situation! Perhaps my special ability is a godly skill too. Is that why I got the same beginner''s treatment as this Admiral? Da Fei had done his homework before starting the game. The players who had been randomly assigned better special abilities would face more difficult opening situations. Of course, no matter how difficult things were and how annoying the examiners were, the players would always be assigned based on their respective skills. In other words, an admiral would never be assigned to a desert area. Because of that, Raging Sea of Blood dared to fearlessly provoke the examiners. He wanted to be assigned to this desperate situation, as it meant that greater rewards could be obtained here! What the heck! A deserted island, mysterious treasures, sunken ships, and unimaginable rewards. All these should have been prepared for the protagonist, me! Yet, in the end? One more person is here! Dear god! Did you send this superhero here to annoy me, or did you send me to disgust him? Just then, Da Fei and Raging Sea of Blood drew their sights back from the obviously storied sailing ship and stared at each other! Feeling Da Fei Raging Sea of Blood''s unfriendly gaze, he felt his heart skip a beat! Is this a place where two tigers cannot share one mountain? Will he fight me? He''s a Level 3 soldier! He''s invincible and can take on three of me with no issues! Da Fei smiled and pandered. "Brother, hello, hello. You and I must be fated to meet on this deserted island. Let''s look after each other from now on." Raging Sea of Blood said coldly, "I''ve seen you before. You were in that Hall of Destiny with me just now." Da Fei was stunned! This guy had a photographic memory! He could remember the tens of people in the hall just now? Da Fei could only smile. "Brother, you have a good eye. We both came out of the same Hall of Destiny. That makes us even more fated." Raging Sea of Blood held his sword and said coldly, "Since you know my special ability, I must know yours too, as well as your skills. I''ll put this in the open. My skill is Basic Attack Skill!" (Note: Basic Attack Skill¡ªIncrease Hero''s physical combat attacks by 10%) Sigh. Although it was a request that annoyed Da Fei, he had to opt for cooperation over infighting during these desperate times! More importantly, he could not defeat him! Da Fei hurriedly smiled. "Garbage talent, it''s not worth a mention." Afterward, he displayed his ability and skill. Raging Sea of Blood said coldly, "I don''t bring people along!" Da Fei was instantly stunned. "Er, brother, I never asked you to bring me along. Only the two of us are here now. Isn''t it normal for us to look after each other and work together?" Raging Sea of Blood drew his metal sword and pointed it at Da Fei''s throat. "Look after each other? Work together? With a trash pikeman like you? Your talent is so too garbage. If fighting you wouldn''t hurt my Reputation, I would have slashed you the moment I saw you. I''d slash you every time I saw you just to make you perpetually weak and helpless!" What the heck! He''s so straightforward! This is what I was worried about! Da Fei''s expression changed and he said carefully, "I mean, brother, why do you have to be like this? We''re just playing a game and this is our first time meeting. It''s not like there''s any bad blood between us, right? Furthermore, you''re a legendary hero destined for greatness. Why do we have to quarrel over such a trivial matter?" Raging Sea of Blood laughed maniacally. "I can play this game however I want. If you''re not happy with that, why don''t you fight me? I hate and distrust other gamers the most! I won''t mince my words. I have a legendary hero account. It can earn me a few million dollars anytime I want to sell it. If I get tired of killing and playing this, there''ll be people coming to take over the account within an instant! Do you get it?" What the heck! He''s another person who feels like he can mess with others however he wants in games. He''s basically the same person I was a few years ago. There''s nothing I can do! Did the new generation excel the older generation? Da Fei could only sigh. "Yes, yes, you''re amazing." Raging Sea of Blood said coldly, "This ship is my turf. Piss off!" Was the older generation about to die on the beach? Da Fei helplessly put his hands in the air and backed off. "Sure, sure! I''ll play by myself somewhere else¡­" Raging Sea of Blood replied, "Good that you know your place!" After that, he turned around and walked towards the sunken ship. Da Fei felt extremely frustrated! This was karma! He could only calm himself down and focus on his goals now. What do I do now? There''s nothing on this island, and that ship has been claimed by the idiot. I can only go check out the sea now. I still remember how amazing I was at finding ways out of desperate situations. There should be some solutions here if I look hard enough. Although the island was small, it had plenty of beaches. There were plenty of neutral starfishes, crabs, and clams. However, Da Fei could not check for their specific stats. On the Hero Continent, every novice player could check for the different monsters'' stats via the public info uploaded in the game. However, the animals here were all mysteries. Da Fei killed plenty of starfishes and other animals along the way, yet he gained no EXP at all. However, he did acquire a lot of seafood, and it still helped. After all, players would only be given one week''s worth of food and cooking supplies when they spawned. The ratio of time in-game to real life was 1:10. In other words, a day spent in the game would equate to 2.4 hours in real life. If the players ran out of food and water, their Stamina would drop, and they would fall into a Weakened State. Of course, players were all heroes and Sons of Destiny. They would not starve to death. If the players decided to lead their armies on long expeditions, food would become even more important. Otherwise, their soldiers might defect, and their entire armies might even disband. It''s pointless to keep going after these small fishes and shrimps without gaining any EXP. That Lobster''s claws look terrifying. That turtle shell looks really thick and dangerous. That red-labeled thing¡­ sea snake! What the heck, it''s huge. I have to get away from it! Finally, Da Fei saw a huge fish around half a person''s size casually swimming around. It looked quite gentle. Perhaps it carries some EXP? Alright, I choose you! Da Fei struck rapidly with his pike! ¡­ Da Fei respawned in the coconut tree forest on the island. He felt deeply disappointed as he looked at the ten-minute Weakened State icon! Pikemen had such fragile lives! As he looked at the sunken ship, he saw countless skeletons rush out from the cabin onto the deck. That Raging Sea of Blood was having so much fun killing all the skeletons! Da Fei gritted his teeth in anger! Why were the skeletons there, you ask? They existed in sunken ships in every game, right? Apart from those things, there were treasure chests, skeleton captain bosses who dropped legendary weapons, and all kinds of good stuff there! Hm? They carried shields? Those were not ordinary skeletons! They were the most elite skeleton warriors known for their defense! They were nicknamed the anti-range unit, a unique NPC soldier type! ¡ªSkeleton Warrior: Attack: 2, Defense: 6, Damage: 1-3, Health: 5, Attack Speed: 10, Movement Speed: 6, Command Value: 1. Special Skill: Huge Shield, Empty Skeleton, Undead Creature. EXP dropped: 10. (Note: Huge Shield and Empty Skeleton both have effects to reduce range attack damages by 50%. However, Empty Skeleton can only be activated after Huge Shield is in effect. Hence, the actual decreased value against range attack damages is 75%.) As for the human Level 3 shield soldiers: ¡ªShield Defender: Attack: 2, Defense: 8, Damage: 2-5, Health: 20, Attack Speed: 12, Movement Speed: 8, Command Value: 2. Special Skill: Huge Shield, Shield Formation. EXP dropped: 17. In terms of Attack and Defense attributes, the differences were quite small! Even though Raging Sea of Blood carried two additional attack points as a player, he still could not break through the defense of the Skeleton Warriors. If the damage value was calculated based on formulas, he would be lucky to kill a skeleton with two strikes. If unlucky, it would take him three strikes! As expected, Raging Sea of Blood could only kill a skeleton after two or three slashes. Apart from that, he still had to absorb two strikes from the skeletons! What kind of person is that?! If you teamed up with me, I can get a free strike with my long-ranged pike. After that, we can rush forward and finish it off with a strike together. Won''t we defeat them without taking any damages? Won''t we level up faster and more efficiently? You are so f**king selfish and greedy! Even I wasn''t so stupid. At the very most, I''ll just kick others away after we were done using each other! The more Da Fei thought about this, the angrier he got. To vent his frustrations, he hit the tree trunk next to him really hard! ¡ªSystem Message: You received one coconut! ¡ªCoconut: Temporary Health +1, Stamina +100. The only source of freshwater on this island! Da Fei''s eyebrows twitched! Only source of freshwater on the island? This means that there are indeed resources on this island! I knew it. There''s no way the System will actually create a desperate situation with no way out! Good! Da Fei soon collected five coconuts after shaking all the trees around. ¡ªSystem Message: Unable to obtain any more coconuts. Please come again next month when the fruits are ripe. Next month? That meant three days in real-world time! Wahahaha! That''s a long time! Raging Sea of Blood, you can chew on your dry food without any freshwater now! I bet your condition will deteriorate if you''re dehydrated, right? Anyways, I want to screw with him any chance I get! After Da Fei recuperated, he went into the ocean again. Then, he attempted to challenge many more unknown marine species. Yet, he failed in all his challenges! I don''t believe that I can''t find something to defeat! Continue! The sky was turning dark now and the seawater quickly retreated. The low tide arrived! Under the starry sky, the island was revealed to be much bigger in size during low tide! So tidal patterns existed in this game! Da Fei thought about the huge fishes that he could not defeat earlier. If they could not retreat in time, would they not become easy targets trapped on the beaches now? He was instantly invigorated. Unfortunately, he had no such luck. No way? Is the sunken ship the only way out of here? Da Fei looked at the sailing ship angrily. The ship was filled with ghost fire and lit-up skeletons. Raging Sea of Blood was getting more and more ruthless as he leveled up quickly. Damn! As Da Fei helplessly worked through his frustrations, he suddenly saw a glowing red pile in the distance. What was that? Da Fei hurriedly rushed forward to inspect the situation. There was a huge crowd of tiny but meaty monsters with little tentacles! What were those? Since Da Fei had died and respawned multiple times, he was no longer afraid. He advanced forward fearlessly, yet those red-labeled monsters did not react at all! Still no reactions? They look like corals? Sea anemones? Are they sea anemones?! Are these plant monsters? Whatever, they can be whatever they want to be! After aiming carefully, Da Fei attacked with his pike! "-2!" The meat clump quickly tried to retaliate with its tentacles. However, it could not reach Da Fei! That''s right. The special skill of pikemen was their "long-range weaponry"! Da Fei was overjoyed! He struck again. "-3!" The sea anemone continued to wave its tentacles around in futility! Da Fei laughed! I found it! I found a way to gain EXP! This is really a good place. If it wasn''t for the low tide, there was no way I would''ve found out about this! Who said that plant monsters were eerie? Although I''m a weak pikeman, I''m going to destroy you for sure! After three more strikes, the sea anemone exploded and died! ¡ªSystem Message: You have defeated an unknown creature. You received 10 EXP! Wahahaha, I can finally upgrade now! No wonder this is Miracle Island. All these sea anemones will be my EXP! Chapter 7:Seafarers Relic Under the starry sky, Da Fei tirelessly struck at the defenseless sea anemones. Actually, plant monsters were not weak, but their fatal flaw was their inability to move. However, their strengths were eerily powerful too. The cruelest plant monster currently published on the official site was the Man-eating Tree. They formed entire forests on the borders between the Elf Kingdom Faroland and the Human Griffon Empire. If you walked in carelessly, the branches would sweep you up and you would be swallowed by the tree trunks mercilessly. Your level would not matter if you were small-sized, as you would be killed instantly! If you were large-sized, you might still be able to struggle for a few seconds. Even if thousands of soldiers entered the forests, they would still be wiped out instantly! Apart from the Man-eating Trees, Forest Goblins and Tree Snakes occupied the area as well. This made the Man-eating Forest an unsolvable death trap. To survive it, you had to form a suitable army with the right types of soldiers. Of course, there were very few types of plant monsters. Their living environment was very strange as well. Currently, only the Man-eating Tree, the Poisonous Dandelion, the Psychedelic Poppy, the Explosive Sweet Potato, and a few others were listed on the official site. These plant monsters all possessed insanely powerful abilities to destroy entire armies! How lucky was Da Fei to encounter a brand new plant monster species in the sea now? No, this was not luck! This was pure skills! There was a reason that the NPC sent such a weak pikeman like me here! I deserve these rewards! After all, I used to be a pro at things like this! Wahahaha! Finally, as the 100th sea anemone exploded, a ray of golden light descended from the skies! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 2! You have received 1 Strategy Attribute point, 1 Skill point, Health +2, Command Power +1. ¡ªNovice Guide: Player can freely assign Strategy Attribute points to Attack, Defense, Magic, or Knowledge. Before transferring occupations, novices only receive one Strategy Attribute point for leveling up each time. Hence, players should be cautious in assigning your points. If unsure of your future development path, you can choose to hold on to attribute points without assigning them. You can also obtain Strategy Attribute points through training in arenas, studying in schools, and various other methods. ¡ªNovice Guide: You have obtained one Skill Point. You can purchase Skill Books at schools, army camps, and Skill Mentors in towns to learn new main skills. Alternatively, you can upgrade your current main skill or develop additional sub-skills. Skill points can also be obtained as mission rewards. ¡ªNovice Guide: Your Command Power has increased by one point. You can now lead one soldier into battle. Stronger soldiers require higher Command Power to lead. The Command Value stated on a soldier''s attributes refers to the Command Power required to lead that soldier. Command Power can be obtained as rewards for missions and for obtaining knighthood ranks in countries. Da Fei wiped his sweat and sighed. Leveling up isn''t very helpful for novices who have yet to transfer occupations. Most importantly, my lethality is still a measly 1-3. If only I learned the Attack Skill. I think more than half the players will select Attack Skill as their first skill of the game. After all, that''s an essential skill for battle heroes. The problem is, I only have a Nautical Skill book! There are no Skill Mentors at this deserted place! If I knew that I would land here, there''d be no way I''d choose the Nautical Skill again. What use is there for the Nautical Skill? Where are the ships? Nowhere! So what if I gained some Command Power? There aren''t any soldiers to recruit! Deceiving! Way too deceiving! The System and players are deceiving me together! For normal players, they would choose either Pikeman or Bowman as their occupation and Attack Skill as their special ability. They would probably be happily accepting missions from mentors in army camps and leading their small troops at this point, right? No wonder this game did not support a random draw to assign players to starting locations. Thankfully I''m a pro at this, so I can find some way to survive. If a rookie came here, he would die easily just from being stranded on this deserted island, right? Die from being stranded here? Wait! I can''t possibly swim back to the mainland from this deserted island, right? There has to be a ship somewhere, right? Wait, could that grounded ship there actually be usable? Could the player''s mission be to sail that ship back? Da Fei''s heart skipped a beat! That was a huge ship! If he could really sail the ship, he would save a lot of money and reputation required to buy a ship! However, that Raging Sea of Blood most definitely would not give the ship up! As for whether he would bring Da Fei along? Most definitely not! Da Fei frowned! In the end, I have to fight that Raging Sea of Blood! Even if I can''t defeat him, I have to at least be a threat to him. Otherwise, I don''t even have the chance to negotiate! There was no need to say anything else. Da Fei had to hurry and train! Da Fei used his Strategy Attribute point into his Attack. 1 Attack point could raise the Hero and his troops'' damage by 5%. Hence, boosting your Attack could never go wrong! I''ll definitely gain more EXP fighting these defenseless sea anemones compared to him fighting those skeletons! Da Fei continued to travel from one group of sea anemones to the next. He was unaware of the sky slowly turning bright. As he heard loud waves from the distance, he saw the tide rising! Da Fei suddenly realized that he was very far from the island now. He could not even see the ship anymore! F**k! No way! I''ll drown in the sea like this! It didn''t matter when I died before leveling up, but if I die now, I''ll lose EXP! That''ll be horrible! What should I do? Da Fei looked around. Suddenly, he saw the tiny tip of an island reef near him. Since he had no time to rush back to the island, he planned to go there to avoid being drowned by the rising tide! Da Fei hurriedly swam towards the reef and raced against the tides! Da Fei soon felt the sea level rising rapidly. He did not even make it halfway before his Stamina was drained! Damn! He hurriedly took out a coconut and consumed it in one go. Stamina +100! Oh yeah! He was close! The sounds of the tides were thunderous! The giant waves towered over him! He was almost there! Go! Da Fei gritted his teeth and went for the final push! Even though gritting his teeth did nothing to help in this game where only stats mattered! ¡ªBoom!!! The roaring waves slammed against the rocks. In that instant, even though Da Fei was holding onto the reefs, he still felt shocked by the giant waves behind him! "Finally¡­" Da Fei sighed and slowly climbed onto the reef. Then, he was completely stunned! There was someone on the reef! A decomposed dead person with only his skeleton intact! Da Fei raised his pike up in high alert! After standing there for a long while, he did not see the pile of bones transform into a skeletal monster. Seemed like it was not a trap! However, if it was not a monster, what did that mean? Something interesting was about to happen! Da Fei was excited and started examining this skeleton donned in broken armor and clothes. ¡ªSystem Message: You searched the dead body. You found an old travel bag! You found a broken set of Sailor''s Armor! ¡ªBroken Sailor Armor: Increases wearer''s Defense by 3 points. Durability: 22/100. (Note: Defense boost only applies to the hero himself. It will not affect the hero''s troops) Wahahaha! I finally have something to wear! Da Fei laughed excitedly! It did not matter how good the items were, the discovery itself was already exhilarating! Da Fei could finally understand how excited Robinson was when he found his first small knife in the "Robinson Crusoe"! However, the show was just beginning! After Da Fei put on the ragged armor, he anxiously opened the travel bag. A golden light exploded from within. Da Fei''s breathing stopped in that instant! It was a book with a golden cover! The same as the book he was carrying! ¡ªSystem Message: You received a Reconnaissance Skill book. Spend 1 Skill point to learn Basic Reconnaissance Skill! ¡ªSystem Message: You received C-class Strategy Treasure, Binoculars! ¡ªSystem Message: You received an old seafarer''s journal (Mission Item). Haha! Wahahaha! I was just worried about where to learn skills, and this Skill book came to me! I got it! I understand now! Although nobody is here at this Novice Village, there are still Skill Books! How can the System actually send a novice player to a place where he can''t learn any skills? In other words, this deserted Novice Village has to be explored by players! Undoubtedly, the key lies in that sunken sailship! Once he remembered the ship, Da Fei felt a great sense of urgency. He hurriedly checked the rest of the items. ¡ªBinoculars: Improve Hero''s field of vision by 50%. C-class Strategy Item. Strategy Treasure! Haha! Wahaha! I found a Strategy Treasure on the first day! This stuff isn''t just some normal battle gear. This can affect the outcome of entire wars! What does it mean to have your field of vision improved by 50%? You can see 1.5 times further compared to a normal person! I can see him, but he can''t see me! This is a great tool that can help me guard against pirates in the future! Da Fei happily looked at the blurry sunken sailship in the distance through his binoculars. He saw Raging Sea of Blood battling tirelessly on the deck! Damn! Then, he turned the seafarer''s journal to the page with the bookmark. ¡ªTo the adventurer who was fortunate enough to find me: I''m Juan Sebastian, an Imperial Admiral, Seafarer of the exploration ship St. Anthony. I have to record the truth down and reveal it to the world. The scholar and astrologer, Knight Markal, was the culprit behind the tragedy! On the night of April 21st, 156, we were on our return journey. We encountered a thunderstorm and were grounded on a deserted island. As we were all exhausted, Markal seized the chance to murder all of us with his Black Magic. He wanted to claim all the glory of our amazing discoveries solely for himself! After we discovered the Mithril Island in the Underground Sea, I astutely noticed something off about Knight Markal. I even raised my doubts to the Captain. However, nobody would suspect the reputable Archmage of the Empire, Knight Markal. I was berated by Captain Renoir for this, yet I was always wary of Markal. This made me the sole survivor that night when he attacked us. However, I won''t survive as long as I''m stranded here! My sailing logbook here has recorded the entire process of our great expedition and our shocking secret delivery, the underground Mithril Island! To the adventurer who has found me, please bring this journal to my Emperor and stop Markal''s wild ambitions! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained the map to Mithril Island in the New World! ¡ªSystem Message: You have activated an Epic-level mission, "Conspirator on the Great Nautical Route"! ¡ªNovice Guide: Epic-level missions can change the world. They''re extremely difficult. The Great Nautical Route was a huge nautical movement started by various different empires in Year 145, in hopes of finding a nautical route to the New World. Countless seafarers were sacrificed during the process. Markal is currently the chief Archmage of the Empire. He has been named the Grand Duke and the Governor-General of the New World Colony. ¡ªMission Guide: You can directly offer the journal to the Emperor. You may be rewarded greatly and enjoy limitless riches. You may also be ignored by the Emperor because of his concerns. You might also be murdered by the Grand Duke Markal. At the same time, you can keep the map for yourself, or even auction the map off for a high price on the black market. Your decision can change the world. Da Fei was so stunned that his jaw dropped to the ground! What the heck! I can find an Epic-level mission just by checking dead bodies! Chapter 8:Learning the Reconnaissance Skill In the first year of the Genesis, the Gods grew tired of the countless wars on the Hero Continent. Hence, they created a supercontinent, the New World! As expected, all the countries on the Hero Continent stopped their large-scale battles, and instead focused on colonizing the New World! However, only a few rare powerful ones from the Old World could arrive at the New World through portals opened by mages. As such, supplies and battle gear could not be transported in large quantities. At the same time, wealth from the New World could not be shipped back. Furthermore, due to the presence of powerful monsters in the New World, the colonization process was very slow and delayed over the past century. In Year 145 of the Genesis, the explorers at the New World harbor suddenly found a drifting bottle from the Old World. This proved that a natural portal route through the ocean existed between the Old World and the New World. This meant that large quantities of supplies could be transported between the two worlds through nautical routes! A huge movement to look for such a route thus started! On January 1st of Year 150, the well-staffed St. Anthony exploration ship set sail from St. Paul Harbor under the guidance of the seasoned expert, Captain Renoir. They carried the good wishes of the entire Empire and followed in the footsteps of their predecessors as they challenged the dangerous unknown areas yet again! The Royal Astrologer, Knight Markal, was also a member of the exploration team. On April 20th of Year 156, St. Anthony created a miracle and successfully returned from the New World! However, they were attacked by the Fleet of the Undead along the way! Knight Markal was the lone survivor of the battle, and he managed to survive on a deserted island until help from the Imperial Fleet arrived! To commemorate this amazing feat, the deserted island was named the Miracle Island! On January 1st of Year 157, Knight Markal, who was now recovered, was officially promoted to Duke and Top Astrologer of the Lion Heart Empire for his great accomplishment in discovering the Grand Route. He was named the greatest scholar, seafarer, and explorer of the century! In Year 159, the reconnaissance of the route to the New World was officially completed. The Light factions and Dark factions each controlled one portal to the New World and guarded it heavily. The development of the New World was much improved. In Year 160 of the Genesis, the Gods sent the Children of Destiny (the players) to quicken the development process! ¡­ They were in Year 160 now, and those were the background and descriptions of the Grand Route available on the official site. The term "Mithril Island" was not mentioned at all, neither was it shown on the New World map available. The Underground Sea was also missing. The official cause of the shipwreck incident was also different from the description in the journal. Of course, these differences had to exist for this conspiracy to work. To put it simply, this Markal just wanted to occupy that Mithril Island for himself, right? However, at this moment, it doesn''t matter how epic this mission is! It''s not something that I, at Level 2, should consider. My top priority right now is to get rid of this Raging Sea of Blood! Furthermore, since I received this mission now, my account can probably sell for a lot of money, right? As that guy said, if I get too tired of this, I can just log off and sell my account. There will be rich bosses rushing to take over! Hence, I don''t need to have any concerns! Wahahaha! The best reward right now is this Reconnaissance Skill book. ¡ªElementary Reconnaissance Skill: Improves the hero''s field of vision by 20%. Hero will be able to obtain the headcount, morale, and supplies intelligence of enemy troops. ¡ªIntermediate Reconnaissance Skill: Improves the hero''s field of vision by 40%. Hero has a chance to discover hidden enemies in the vicinity and receive warnings about their ambushes. Improves the hero''s ability to dodge attacks. ¡ªAdvanced Reconnaissance Skill: Improves the hero''s field of vision by 60%. Hero will be able to plot maps and has a higher chance to discover hidden resources or treasures. ¡ªExpert Reconnaissance Skill: Improves the hero''s field of vision by 80%. Hero will be able to analyze the enemy hero''s equipment from a distance. Hero will be able to train Scouts in his own castle. Scouts: Level One Soldiers. Attack: 0, Defense: 0, Health: 10, Damage: 0-1, Attack Speed: 10, Movement Speed: 15, Command Value: 1, Special Skill: Advanced Reconnaissance Skill, Hidden Movement, Training Cost: 500 (Most expensive Level One Soldier). ¡ªMaster Reconnaissance Skill: Improves the hero''s field of vision by 100%. Hero will obtain night vision and keep his normal sight at night. (Note: Field of Vision will decrease to 90% of normal ability) Sub-skills: ¡ªIntelligence Collection: Hero will obtain an unknown monster''s attributes during battles and create Intelligence Cards. Hero can sell the cards to Scholars or Aristocrats for money, Reputation, and affinity from certain NPCs. ¡ªRemoval of Traps: Ability to pick locks and destroy traps. ¡ªCamouflage: Anti-reconnaissance. Enemy heroes or wild monsters will not be able to analyze the hero''s troop formation. ¡ªHidden Movement: Hero will not be discoverable by enemies and monsters within a certain distance. The actual effects will vary based on the level of Reconnaissance Skill, level of enemies, time, and location. When the hero uses Hidden Movement, he cannot lead any troops. Learning Requirements: Advanced Reconnaissance Skill. ¡ªAmbush: Hero''s troops can remain concealed in the wild without being easily discovered. The skill''s effects will vary based on the time, location, enemy troop size, and enemy Reconnaissance Skill level. During the ambush period, the troops cannot move at all. Learning Requirements: Master Reconnaissance Skill. ¡ªIntelligence Analysis: After obtaining detailed intelligence about unknown creatures, the hero will be able to analyze and discover the fatal flaws of the creatures. During battles, the hero will be able to ignore its defense by 25%-100%. Learning Requirements: Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill. ¡­ So this was the Reconnaissance Skill! A skill similar to the Thief occupation in traditional games! The Thief occupation was always able to create unfathomable miracles in traditional games when controlled by extremely creative players! However, in Hero Genesis, a war game, this skill was a little awkward. After all, Da Fei had no skills suitable for fighting! This was definitely disadvantageous for him in the opening stage of the game. Even though the Intelligence Analysis sub-skill at the Grandmaster level and the Phantom March sub-skill at the God level were both impressive, they were too far away! After choosing an occupation at Level 10, it will be harder to level up. Those players who can max out their Attack Skills before they reach Level 10 will definitely slaughter monsters easily and efficiently. Between Level 10 and Level 30, the Command Skill to lead troops and the Defense Skill to increase troop''s Health and Defense will be prioritized. No points can be wasted on the Reconnaissance Skill. After Level 30, it will be even more difficult to level up. Hence, nobody will even think about the Reconnaissance Skill. Otherwise, their advantage in leveling up speedily in the early game will be squandered. Only the casual and peace-loving business players and the Great Guilds will specifically train for a Reconnaissance Skill-based account. As for Da Fei, he was a business player for sure. His main goal was to come sail on the sea and earn money. A merchant would never be able to defeat pirates, but he must definitely have the skills to discover pirates early and avoid them. Hence, this skill was a necessity for Da Fei! Furthermore, if he did not learn from a book he so painstakingly obtained in such a desperate situation, karma would punish him! Hence, Da Fei did not hesitate anymore. With a grateful heart, he opened the book! A flash of golden light appeared! ¡ªSystem Message: You have learned Elementary Reconnaissance Skill. Your field of vision has improved by 20%. You will be able to obtain the headcount, morale, and supplies intelligence of enemy troops. Now that Da Fei''s field of vision had improved by 70% with the newfound skill and his binoculars, he confidently looked at the sunken ship again and smiled sinisterly. "Just you wait. Once I learn the ''Hidden Movement'', I''ll smuggle myself on-board!" However, watching Raging Sea of Blood tirelessly kill monsters there pissed Da Fei off even more! F**k! I can''t do anything while trapped here during high tide. That means I have only half the time to train and level-up as compared to him! Whatever. I can only wait for the low tide now. Since I''m free, I might as well flip through this journal. Let me figure out what this Mithril Island is all about. Chapter 9:Blood Sea Studio Deserted island''s shipwreck, following the death of the last Skeleton Warrior on the deck, a golden light flashed and Raging Sea of Blood leveled up to Level 4. Then, he learned the Attack Skill "War Maniac". ¡ªWar Maniac: Increase the Hero and Hero''s units'' basic lethality stat by 1, empowering low-level units greatly. Learning prerequisite: Must possess Advanced Attack Skill. By now, Raging Sea of Blood had already been fighting continuously for one day and one night, equivalent to 2.4 hours in the real world. He was already very tired now and needed to rest. Towards his current leveling speed, Raging Sea of Blood was quite satisfied with it. There wasn''t any trainer or beginner dungeon or recruitment center on this desert island, therefore, his leveling speed wasn''t as fast as those normal players who already had a few rewarded units. But this was the price a super-account like his needed to pay in this desert island! However, things would be different after he learned the skill, War Maniac. His basic lethality increased from 2-5 to 3-6, and after leveling up to Level 5, it became 4-7 because the System would reward one lethality every five levels. Plus he had 6 Attack Points, which offset the skeletons'' disgusting 6 Defense Points, and the Expert Attack Skill increased his lethality by 40%, so even his lowest damage to the skeletons was also more than their five Health Points, resulting in him being able to kill them with one hit each. Therefore, towards the back, his killing speed increased greatly. Especially for a Shield Defender who started off with 8 Defense Points and 20 Health Points at the start, he didn''t need to worry about taking damage towards the back anymore, he could just sweep through the skeletons all the way to the bottom of the ship! If he really had to find something to be unhappy about, it would be that his starting point was still a bit too low¡ªa Level 3 unit was not enough! Currently, the accounts valued at one million US dollars all started off as Level 4 units. For example, the Griffon Breeder from Team Star who started off with a Level 4 Griffon with high attack speed, high mobility, and could dive on those long-range creeps which normal players wouldn''t dare to touch. That type of account would be really easy to develop. In Hero Genesis, there were eight types of units in each race. Level 0 units were the militias, reservists, for example, the farmers from the Human race, flower fairies from the Elf race, miners from the Dwarf race, demon babies from the Hell race, laborer skeletons from the Undead race, and goblins from the Orc race. They were all very weak and easy to kill, and the players were unable to recruit them either. Their main use was for production and to guard the cities at crucial times. The development speed of a castle primarily depended on the number of these Level 0 units. Then, the Level of 1, 2, and 3 units were the conventional forces. When a normal player''s Command Value and Tactical Position were both enough, they could hire these units in the main cities. As for Level 4 units, those already belonged to advanced forces¡ªthey would start doing all kinds of difficult missions and earn Reputation points. Starting from Level 4 units, they would have magic resistance and could also cast spells. For example, the Archmages from the neutral-type academics, the Druids from the Elf race, the Pet Concubines from the Hell race, the Vampires from the Undead race, the Shamans from the Orc race, the Rune Mages from the Dwarf race, and so on. Level 4 and 5 units were the foundations of a race, not only do they need to have high combat power, but they also act as the bridge for the low-level units and the high-level units. Without them, the whole force would be lacking in combat power. This point was especially obvious in the Undead race and Human race. The Undead forces were generally low on mobility as a whole, but the speed of the vampires was very fast. Normally, when the vampires had already come into close combat with the enemy, the main Undead force would still be rushing up behind, and therefore the vampires would be in a situation of fighting by themselves. But if they waited for the other Undead forces to attack together, they would be akin to giving up on their advantage of speed. Therefore, to determine if a player was playing the Undead race well, it would depend on the player''s skill with using the vampires. This was the benchmark that separated the professional players and the amateur players of the Undead race. The same thing for the Human race. The embarrassing thing was about the Level 6 unit, the Knights. Should they charge or shouldn''t, this was a very perplexing question! Players could build their own castles in the New World and also obtain all kinds and sorts of units, which was through building their own unit resource base and groom their own unique type of force. Especially for the Undead race, all kinds of weird and strange creatures could appear in this race. But no matter how a player groomed or developed them, the prerequisite was that this new type of force would be able to work well with the main force. If not, the players should just recruit the standard force-types from the main cities. At least, it would be very convenient for them to replenish the units if needed. For Raging Sea of Blood, he had already planned out his character development and even for the development in the New World. Raging Sea of Blood planned to build an indestructible island fortress in the New World and groom his unique navy force. Although his Shield Defender wasn''t the best unit obtainable at the start, it was indeed the most suitable for fighting on a ship in a confined area. Units like the Level 1 Spearman, Level 4 Griffon, and Level 6 Knights would definitely not be suitable to fight in such a confined space, so he would need to change them for something else in the future. Then, he would reign over the territorial waters of the two worlds, and in turn, conquer the world! In actual fact, Raging Sea of Blood was a naval battle maniac in the first place. In order to get a naval battle special ability, he bought a total of 200 machines and used the lottery system for 200 times! This was the reason why he only started the game three days after the game was released. It must be said that he was actually still very lucky. In the 200th time, he finally obtained this God-level special ability, Admiral! If not, he could only purchase one from the market for a very high price. As for what he said to Da Fei about selling this account after he was bored with it, he was only scaring Da Fei away. As for how he handled the 200 machines he purchased? After some consideration, he decided to open a studio. Although the machines weren''t worth much money, it still caused him quite a lot of trouble buying so many of them. Raging Sea of Blood then made a phone call to his friend. "Shaodong, what are you doing now?" The person on the other replied, "What else could I be doing? I was born to fuck pussies." Raging Sea of Blood laughed and said, "You still haven''t fucked enough? I''m going to open a gaming studio, come to work together with me!" Surprised, Shaodong said, "A gaming studio? What kind of joke is this! It''s not like we lack money!" Raging Sea of Blood laughed and said, "Actually, basically we''ll just play a game, but doing it as a gaming studio sounds better. At least those old things will feel that we are doing something proper this time." Shaodong laughed and asked, "True. What kind of game?" Raging Sea of Blood nodded and said, "The most popular one now! Ask Brother Tian and Young Master Ma to come to play too. Tell him to stop drag racing¡ªmost of the taxis on the streets now use gas, banging into any of them would be like banging into a bomb. It won''t be worth it if they died because of this." Shaodong laughed and said, "Shall I bring a bunch of girls too? So we can fuck them while playing?" Speechless, Raging Sea of Blood replied, "Female players are the most annoying, don''t bring those stupid ones!" Shaodong laughed and said, "Don''t worry, I won''t want to fuck those stupid ones too! Oh right, what''s the name of the studio?" Without thinking, Raging Sea of Blood said, "Blood Sea Studio!" ¡­ After contacting his bunch of rich friends, Raging Sea of Blood''s mood got even better. The only unpleasant thing was that there was extra trash on this island now! The feeling was like sand getting into his eye, causing him to feel very uncomfortable. Therefore, Raging Sea of Blood couldn''t kill the creeps wholeheartedly and would always subconsciously divert some of his attention to guard against that extra trash. That trash seemed to have died quite a few times during the day? Ha! Trash is really trash, this isn''t the type of place that such trash should be at, right? But where''s that trash now? Raging Sea of Blood looked around but couldn''t see any trace of Da Fei. Then, he checked under the gunwale¡ªnot there too! Where did that person go? Gave up and went off-line? It''s best that he can see the situation and don''t come to disturb me! Suddenly, Raging Sea of Blood thought of something¡ªhis rations weren''t enough! Food wasn''t a problem, he could catch fish and shrimp from the sea. But what about water? Raging Sea of Blood saw the few coconut trees on the island, which should be the water source. Therefore, he hurriedly went over to pick the coconuts. ¡ªSystem Message: The fruits have already been gathered, please come again when the next batch of fruits become ripe after 29 days. Fuck! Raging Sea of Blood violently hacked the tree. "After this trash comes online, I''m going to directly hack him to death!" As for lowering of his Reputation? At most, he could just become a pirate! Being a pirate, he would be able to blatantly rob NPC merchant ships! Then, his negative Reputation would increase very quickly! Of course, being a solo player still, he definitely couldn''t become a pirate right from the start. But once his brothers joined the game, it wouldn''t be a problem anymore. Chapter 10:Stealth Sailing Currently, Da Fei was flipping through the notebook which was filled with all kinds of navigation maps and notes, yawning as he did so. Only when there were words would he stop to read it properly, but the words were basically about the climate and geographic locations. As for the location of Mithril Island, even if the map was placed in front of him, he wouldn''t be able to understand it. Speaking of which, in the eyes of the mages, Mithril should be a resource that was more valuable than Gold, right? How should he handle this map? Give it to someone? Sell it? Exploit it himself? Giving it away or selling it was both too short sighted. If he exploited it himself, that would be akin to directly becoming an enemy of Duke Markal, wasn''t it? It was said that even to clear a dungeon, it would need the strength of an entire big guild. It wasn''t really possible for a normal player like Da Fei to complete an Epic mission himself, right? Then, find someone to cooperate with him? What the heck, same as that Raging Sea of Blood, Da Fei didn''t trust the other players too! Just at this moment, a line of words jumped into his eyes. ¡ªMay 12th of Year 155, foggy weather. Today is my dear Serbia''s 10th birthday, but I''m not by her side. I have already left home for five years, I wonder if she is used to living at the church yet? I wonder if she will still be waiting for me every morning at the quay of Port St. Paul? I wonder if she can still recognize me? Over these five years, we have experienced all kinds of extreme situations and no longer look the same as before. Now, I can''t even recognize myself when I look in the mirror. May God bless my Serbia. Da Fei''s eyebrows jumped. There''s some content here? What''s this? A hidden mission? This must definitely be the case! I''m a self-taught expert! Port St. Paul, a daughter living in the church, is it? Yup, it seems that all those seafarers in this game without relatives will send their children to live in the church. She was 10 in Year 155, so she''s 15 now? Fifteen! Hehehe! Uncle, don''t worry, in order to thank you for leaving me the Reconnaissance Skill, I will definitely take care of her! Excited, Da Fei continued to flip through the pages. ¡ªSeptember 14th of Year 155, clear weather. The autumn haze which continued for several months is finally over, everyone took out their blankets to bask in the sun. All of us were delighted to find that there were a lot of fleas in the blankets, so we each caught a bottle of them, then mixed with the precious butter and spread them on bread. It was really a happy lunch! What the heck! ¡ªApril 11th of Year 166, clear weather. The sea is calm and the sky is clear. We came to the border of the New Caribbean Sea where pirates are rampant. I took the watch carefully, not daring to slack off for even a single moment. At noon, everyone had started taking their lunch, but I discovered an unnatural ripple in the water in the distance. Is it an illusion? Or is it a fish? No! It''s not! My institution tells me that this must be the legendary Pirate King''s unique skill "Stealth Sailing"! A skill that enables the user to create a water screen to create an illusion to cover the ship, enabling the ship to approach its prey unnoticed! I instantly reported this! But it led to mockery and laughter from the other seafarers! I started to regret my rashness and suspicions! However, Captain Renoir supported me firmly. The ship immediately changed directions and sailed away at full speed. Just at this moment, something shocking happened. In the empty sea, a pitch-black pirate ship suddenly appeared! It was indeed the terror from the legends, the Pirate King, Red Beard! Seeing that we started escaping, he instantly gave up on the concealment and chased after us at full speed! Just at this moment, a golden light enveloped my body. I finally broke through my limit and reached the Grandmaster level Reconnaissance Skill! I succeeded! Blessing to God! I can finally step into the God-level realm! ¡­ Seeing up to this point, Da Fei was dazed for a while! He could understand that this person''s skill leveled up after seeing through the enemies disguise, but what did "finally step into the God-level realm" mean? Did it mean that it would be easier to reach God-level after reaching Grandmaster-level? Da Fei hurriedly flipped towards the back! The contents at the back were most about this Juan discussing the theory behind the "Stealth Sailing" skill with his captain and Mage Markal. Their overall conclusion was that this skill wasn''t simply a nautical skill, it might have been mixed with some other types of magic, some types of reconnaissance skills, or it may even have to do with the material of the ship itself. Also, this wasn''t a skill that looked like it could be completed by a single person, it was probably cast by a team of people, meaning that it was a combination skill. So it''s a combination skill! Then, just as Da Fei continued to flip a page. ¡ªSystem Message: You learned the work of a senior and gained 2,000 EXP points. Obtained information regarding the skill "Stealth Sailing". ¡ªBeginner Tip: Player obtained information on a skill, triggering the research and development system for this specific skill. The player can research it alone, or the player can also obtain more information on the skill from various NPCs, or can also find a teacher to learn it from. ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations, you have reached Level 3! You obtained 1 Strategy Attribute, 1 Skill Point, +2 Health Points, and your Command Value increased by 1. Information regarding a skill! Da Fei''s jaw dropped to the ground! This Stealth Sailing skill wasn''t recorded on the Nautical Skill Book! It was probably a unique skill that belonged to the pirates? A God-level skill? This means that this notebook was an important research treasure too! A crucial item that enabled a person to learn a God-level skill! He couldn''t give it to others now! Da Fei flipped through the book again meticulously. The content at the back was that after much interaction with Markal, Juan discovered that something was amiss with Markal, and so on. There also weren''t any more system messages too. Speaking of which, in order to learn this skill, he would need to build a team with many people. Of course, even if it wasn''t because of this skill, human talents were still very much needed. This St. Anthony ship was able to avoid so many dangers previously exactly because of the many talented crew members on-board the ship. Also, such a thing as creating a team was too far-fetched for a solo-type player like Da Fei. Therefore, Da Fei could only recruit NPC talents. And to recruit NPC talents, and even PKC heroes, the Reputation of a player would be very important. No one would be willing to work for a nobody. There were many ways to obtain it. For example, doing missions and obtaining military merit. And now, Da Fei had a way of obtaining Reputation too, which was to use the Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill, Intelligence Gathering, to obtain information! ¡ªIntelligence Gathering: Hero will obtain an unknown monster''s attributes during battles and create Intelligence Cards. Hero can sell the cards to Scholars or Aristocrats for money, Reputation, and affinity from certain NPCs. There were all kinds of unknown creatures around this desert island, it was a good chance for him to use this skill! There would be at least one or two pieces of information that would be of use to him. For example, this plant-type sea anemone! He had one skill point from leveling to Level 3, and no matter was it long-term or short-term looking, he would have to learn the skills either way. Then, Da Fei took out the skill book and decisively learned the skill in it! ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point to learn the passive skill, Intelligence Gathering! The longer you come into contact with an unknown object, the more detailed the intelligence collected will be. Yup, passive is good. I like passive skills the most. Currently, the sky was turning dark, and the tide was retreating again, exposing a large patch of wetland. Having already prepared for a long time and already being very well rested, Da Fei jumped into the sea and swam towards that puddle with patches of red lights flickering¡­ Chapter 11:The Two People Who Encountered a BOSS Desert island, at the shipwreck. After a day of hard work, Raging Sea of Blood made the final rush towards Level 5. When the sky became dark, the number of skeletons in the shipwreck increased again. Which was good for him! A golden light flashed and Raging Sea of Blood finally leveled up to Level 5 and finally obtained the precious reward of Basic Damage +1! The System was very stingy towards increasing a player''s Basic Damage, only increasing it by one per five levels. But even so, with the various attribute increments from the equipment, a player''s damage towards the later part of the game would be very terrifying still, indeed worthy of being called a Hero. Now, Raging Sea of Blood''s base damage had reached 4-7, and his attack had also offset the six Defense points of the skeletons. Under the extra 40% damage increase from Expert Attack Skill, he could kill the Skeleton Warriors which had five Health Points with one strike each! Previously, because his damage wasn''t enough, he had to kill them with two strikes. And now, the difference between killing one skeleton with one or two strikes was to double his leveling efficiency! However, he wouldn''t continue killing skeletons now, it was time to go deeper in and see what secret was hidden inside the ship. All kinds of clues suggested that there must definitely be a Necromancer or something which was continuously summoning the skeletons. Therefore, he shall get rid of it first! Facing the continuous flow of skeletons, Raging Sea of Blood made use of the advantage of having two points of Attack Speed higher than the skeletons, killing them without taking any damage himself! Great! Now he didn''t even need to rest and recover his Health points! This efficiency was more than double compared to before, wasn''t it? Level 5 was really a watershed! In the narrow pathway of the ship, Raging Sea of Blood killed a path through the mobs and finally reached his target, a room from which the skeletons were continuously coming out from! Inside, there was indeed a figure covered in a white mist and chanting continuously. Skeletons appeared from a summoning circle behind him continuously! A BOSS!!! You''re the one I''m looking for, die! Raging Sea of Blood raised his shield in front of him and charged forward. At the same time, a black glow flashed on the BOSS, and a black ray of light descended onto Raging Sea of Blood from the sky! ¡ªSystem Message: You have been hit with Spirit Mage''s dark magic "Weakening Curse", your maximum damage is reduced by two for one day! Raging Sea of Blood was instantly shocked! His maximum damage was reduced! His damage became 4-5! Luckily, he could still kill the skeletons with one strike even in this case! Raging Sea of Blood killed another skeleton in his path and resolutely carried on charging forward! A black glow flashed on the BOSS again! ¡ªSystem Message: You have been hit with the Spirit Mage''s "Painful Torture", your attack is reduced by six for one day! Raging Sea of Blood was shocked again! Attack reduced by six! This meant that his Attack was lower than the Defense of the skeletons again! This difference of six points would result in him only being able to deal 85% of his full damage, which was 3.4-4.2! Even with the 40% increase from Expert Attack Skill, it wouldn''t hit five damage! Just as he was being shocked, he killed another skeleton blocking his path with one strike! This strengthened his resolve. Charge! As long as he didn''t deal only the minimum damage, he could still kill the skeletons with one strike! A black glow flashed on the BOSS again! ¡ªSystem Message: You have been hit with the Spirit Mage''s "Delayment Magic", your Attack Speed has decreased by 30% for one day! Raging Sea of Blood scolded. "F*ck you! Are you done yet!" Currently, his Attack Speed had dropped from 12 points to 8 points, even slower than the skeletons! With a "dang" sound, a skeleton in front of him dealt one damage to him, decreasing his Health Points by one! After he killed this skeleton and rushed into the room, the BOSS was within his reach now! ¡ªSystem Message: You have been hit with the Spirit Mage''s "Armor Weakening", your Defense dropped by four points for one day! My Defense is very high, I''m not scared of you decreasing it! This BOSS had so many spells that Raging Sea of Blood was already speechless! At this moment, he finally could see that his BOSS was actually a spirit carrying a Magic Book glowing with black light! As for the spirit itself, it was just a normal spirit! A normal Level 3 unit from the Undead race! ¡ªSpirit: Attack 4, Defense 4, Health Points 16, Damage 2-4, Attack Speed: Normal speed 8, Movement Speed 15, Special Skill: Void Body, Flying-type Troop, Undead. Raging Sea of Blood finally understood! How was it possible for a BOSS in a beginner''s village to have so many dark magic spells? That Magic Book was the crucial item! As long as he could kill this BOSS, that Magic Book would most likely be dropped! The Magic Book itself contained a high amount of mana in it! It might even be a living thing! It could enable even a normal person to release the spells recorded in it! This kind of treasure actually appeared in a beginner''s village? Of course, for the trial of a Godly Hero like me, it won''t be strange even if a Godly weapon directly appears! Excited, Raging Sea of Blood slashed towards the Spirit¡ª"Miss"! ¡ªNovice Guide: Spirits have the Void Body skill, giving it a 50% chance of evading physical and magic attacks! If the first two attacks miss, the third attack will definitely land. ¡ªPU! Raging Sea of Blood directly splatted out blood! Damn it! Even if I''m hit with all kinds of dark magic, I still have 30 points of Health. It''s enough for me to trade damage and still kill a weakling like you with only 16 points of Health! With another slash, a "-3!" appeared. This time, you can''t evade anymore, right! 13 more Health to go! At this moment, another two skeletons came out from the summoning circle and slashed fiercely at Raging Sea of Blood. He took the hits head-on and continued to attack the Spirit! -4! Miss! Miss! -3!¡­ The Health points of the Spirit continued to drop and Raging Sea of Blood''s Health points were almost depleted too. When another skeleton came out from the summoning circle, when Raging Sea of Blood''s crucial hit missed again, with only four Health points left, he knew that he couldn''t win anymore. Shouting angrily, he had no choice but to turn and run! At least his Movement Speed was faster than the skeletons, only the Spirit could catch up to him. But if the Spirit dared to chase after him alone, he would still have a chance to kill it before it killed him since he could still endure another two hits from it with his four Health points! But in the end, this hope was extinguished. The Spirit Mage didn''t chase out of the room after him. Just a bit! I''m missing just that little bit! While running, Raging Sea of Blood was so angry that his whole body trembled! What if I teamed up with that trash, I will definitely be able to kill it, right? This thought only remained in his mind for half a second before he shook it away. Everything on the ship belongs to me, no one else can have even a single share of it! It''s fine if I can''t defeat the Spirit now, it should be enough if I just level up one more time. I just have to continue killing the skeletons on the ship until I level up again, that''s all. It''s just that it''s really annoying that the dark magic on me will last for an entire day! Other spells are fine, I can just treat it like I''m Level 1 again. The crucial thing is that delaying magic is really too disgusting! My Attack Speed is slower than the skeletons now, meaning I will definitely be hit first! Resting for my Health to recover will waste tons of time, this is really depressing! But, being depressed is good! The more depressed I am, the more it proofs how valuable the Magic Book is! I''m definitely going to obtain it! ¡­ At the beach of the deserted island. After Da Fei swam back to shore, he found the nearest puddle of sea anemones and successfully obtained information with the first hit! ¡ªSystem Message: You have gained the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone''s incomplete information card! ¡ªNovice Guide: Incomplete information card won''t be able to obtain the full reward from NPCs, please continue fighting to obtain more information. It''s indeed sea anemone! So this is its name too! This skill is indeed awesome! Da Fei excitedly checked the information card. ¡ªDemonized Venom Sea Anemone: Biotype: Small-sized plant. Attack: ? Defense: 0 Damage: ? Health Points: 11 Attack Speed: Very slow Movement Speed: 0 Special Skill: ? Item Drop: ? EXP: 10 Brouhaha, my luck is indeed changing! Continue! Da Fei killed dozens of sea anemones again, but nothing happened. What''s going on? Could it be that because they didn''t have a chance to retaliate, so I''m unable to gain information on their Attack? That''s probably the case. After all, you can''t know how painful a punch is if you haven''t been hit by one. Why don''t I try getting hit? No, no, that''s silly! Although judging from its Health and EXP, this is only a Level 2 unit, it''s widely acknowledged that plant-type creatures are very eerie and unable to be measured with common sense. What''s more, Venom is in its name! Can a fragile Pikeman like me withstand its attack? Also, I''m going to level up to Level 4 soon, I can''t afford dying now. Obtaining information isn''t an urgent thing, leveling up is more important. What''s more, the Reconnaissance Skill level is low, so the sub-skills effect will also be affected. Let''s see what the situation is after I level up first and level up the Reconnaissance Skill to the next level too. Therefore, Da Fei continued killing the creatures. Finally, a golden light flashed. He leveled up! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 4. Health Points +2, Strategy Attribute +1, Skill Point +1, Command Power +1. Then, he used his skill point to level up the Reconnaissance Skill! ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Intermediate Reconnaissance Skill! ¡ªIntermediate Reconnaissance Skill: Your vision increased by 40%, you can check the number of enemies, morale, and supply information. You have a certain chance of discovering hidden enemies in your range of sight and also gain advance warning of the attack of a discovered hidden enemy, increasing the player''s chance to evade the attack. Just at this moment¡ª ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill has detected a powerful enemy hidden nearby, please keep alert! The legendary hidden BOSS! Da Fei was dazed on the spot! The effect of this Intermediate Reconnaissance Skill has come into effect too fast, hasn''t it? At this moment, a large red dot continuously blinked on Da Fei''s map, expressing that there was danger in that area! In the eyes of a player with the Reconnaissance Skill, the world was indeed different. But the problem was, what should he do now? Facing this hidden BOSS, what could a weak Pikeman like he do? But Da Fei shook this thought away after just half a second! Of course, he should search for it! If he didn''t see the BOSS first, how would he know if he had a chance of defeating it or not? It was just like how he frequently bought the lottery. Although he never won before, as long as he bought it, he would have a one in a few million chances to change his destiny. But if he didn''t buy, he would never have a chance at all! Chapter 12:Venom Sea Anemone King Da Fei carefully moved towards the area where the red dot was blinking, looking around, trying to find the hidden BOSS. Actually, he didn''t need to look around, the large-size skeleton in front of him had already betrayed the BOSS of its position! After all, this was the only different spot on the entire beach! Da Fei slowly moved closer to it. Now, not only could he tell that this was the skeleton of a whale-like creature, he even noticed a few barrels buried in the sand around the skeleton. Were those barrels dropped from the ship? If the death of this whale had to do with this BOSS, then how powerful was it? It looked like he wasn''t going to be able to defeat it, but it was enough if he could just collect its information. The more unknown a creature was, the more valuable its information was. Even if it was only incomplete information, but if he could let the world knew of its existence, he would be able to get a high amount of Reputation! Therefore, even if he would die for sure in the process, it would be worth it! He didn''t learn the Reconnaissance Skill for nothing! But the crucial thing was, where was this BOSS hiding? Inside the skeleton? Or in the sand? Nervous and excited at the same time, Da Fei walked around the skull of the whale. While proceeding forward, he constantly poked the sand with this pike. At the same time, the red dot on his map blinked even more quickly! The BOSS was very close to him now! Close! There''s nothing in that enormous skull. Then, it''s hiding in the sand? Da Fei took in a deep breath, then stepped forward solemnly. ¡ªSystem Message: Warning! The Reconnaissance Skill has scouted that the hidden enemy is about to appear! What the heck! Da Fei was instantly alarmed, then he turned around and run without even thinking! A huge sound came from behind him and a large stinky wind flew past his head! The splattering sand flew all over the place! A large "Miss" floated from his head! Only then did Da Fei came around to his senses! What was he running for, wasn''t he here to die and collect information? Therefore, he instantly turned around and became shocked! Tentacles! Tens of large sea anemone tentacles shot out from the sand! So it was a sea anemone BOSS! And because of the warning from the Reconnaissance Skill just now, he instinctively reacted and narrowly escaped from being hit! The warning function of the Intermediate Reconnaissance Skill and the running state of a player both increased his dodge rate. Seeing that 10 plus large tentacles waving about in the air, Da Fei helplessly shook his head. BOSS was indeed a BOSS! The tentacles were double the length of his pike, he had no way of fighting it at all! It was unfortunate that he was born as a pikeman. If only he could be born as an archer! It looked like he could only obediently go up and die in order to obtain information on this BOSS. Wait! Even an archer won''t do too! It isn''t possible for the System to send an archer to this deserted island, right? How is the archer supposed to replenish the arrows after they are used up? From the ship? Even that Godly Hero also can''t kill his path inside after leveling up so many times! How is a newbie archer supposed to level up with only a few arrows at the start? This means that this BOSS is prepared for close combat players! Thinking of this, Da Fei turned his gaze towards the large skull beside the tentacles! Being a gaming expert, he knew that in a game, all of the boss monsters were for players to kill. If it seemed impossible to kill a BOSS straightforwardly, there must definitely be a not so straightforward way to kill it! Reasonably making use of the environment to defeat the enemy in a game was a feature all games had! Da Fei observed the skull carefully. The more he looked at it, the more it looked like a fortress to him, and the eye socket was like a shooting hole! This means to say that if he hid inside the skull and attacked from the eye socket¡­ That''s it! That''s the way it should be done! If even through this way I also can''t defeat it, I won''t have any chance of defeating it in the open area! However, if I can attack it from the eye socket, its tentacles can also possibly shoot in from outside the eye socket! Therefore, I must definitely dodge aside after attacking it. If the tentacles can turn a corner, I won''t have any chance at all! Whatever the case, since I''m here to die in the first place, I don''t have any pressure! The longer I can last, the more detailed the information I gather will be! However, there is still one big problem. It''s impossible for me to try and go inside the skull now¡ªthe tentacles are so long, they will definitely hit me before I can run inside! Directly take a hit and rush inside? What the heck, I mustn''t even think of this. I don''t even dare to let a normal small sea anemone touch me, let alone a BOSS? How did this whale die? Then, I can only wait for now! Since this BOSS is hiding in the sand, there must definitely be a logic behind this. After all, there isn''t any puddle here. I reckon it''s because it isn''t suitable to expose itself in the air? Therefore, Da Fei ran far away into the distance and killed another 20 plus sea anemones for some EXP points, then ran back here again. Indeed, the tentacles had gone back inside the sand! This was the moment he was waiting for! Da Fei stealthily went to the back of the skull and chose the best angle he could find. From this angle, the ribcage of the whale would be able to block sweeping attacks from the tentacles. By himself, there was practically no way of dodging sweeping attacks. As for stabbing attacks, there was still a chance for him to dodge it! One step, two steps, he was almost within the BOSS'' attack range! Da Fei bent down and sucked in a deep breath! He was like a spring waiting to be released now! ¡ªSystem Message: Warning! The Reconnaissance Skill has scouted that the hidden enemy is about to appear! Charge!!! In this instance, with the pikeman''s maximum speed of 10m/s, Da Fei sprinted out! PENG!!! Sand splattered all over as a black shadow shot out from below the ground! In this instance, Da Fei''s heart jumped to his throat! There were never any sure-win strategies in the world, luck was almost the most unpredictable factor in strategies! The side having the advantage would try to minimize the factors of luck to the minimum while all the losing side could do was to depend on luck! Advance warning, advance movement, making use of the environment. Da Fei had done all that he could, all that was left now was to leave it to luck! If he was unlucky? Hehe, wasn''t that simple? Die and try again, that was all. It was just a game, there wasn''t a need to have too much pressure! ¡ªSwoosh! Flying sand hit the ground! A stinky wind brushed past his ear! It didn''t hit!!! Yes!!! Breaking through its defense succeeded! ¡ªThud! Da Fei dived inside the skull of the whale excitedly and also nervously waited for the second wave of attacks to come! If the tentacle could turn corners, he wouldn''t have any chance at all! After a while, the second wave of attacks didn''t come. It looked like he still had a chance? Da Fei gradually stood up, carefully moving towards the eye socket of the whale and took a peek outside¡ªswoosh! A black shadow flashed past! Being prepared for this, Da Fei hurriedly ducked down. ¡ªPENG!!! Miss! A disgusting green tentacle as thick as a person''s thigh and covered with suckers shot in from outside, hitting heavily on the inside of the skull! The entire skull trembled! Da Fei was so shocked by this frightening scene that he stared in bewilderment! This attack was enough to kill even a Knight with one hit, right? He definitely mustn''t be touched by this creature! Plap! After banging into the wall, the tentacle dropped onto the ground like a dead snake! Then, it started to slowly wiggle towards Da Fei''s hiding place. AHHHHH damn it! It really can turn corners! How am I supposed to fight this, I can only do as much damage as I can now! "Ah zha ah~~" Da Fei stabbed towards the wriggling tentacle with his pike. "-6"!!! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King''s incomplete information card! I obtained the information card! I can die with no regrets now! But there was no time for him to check the card now and also no time to think about why he could deal double his maximum damage to the tentacle. Facing this disgusting tentacle that was wriggling towards him, Da Fei was like a frantic woman slapping on a cockroach, violently stabbing at the tentacle and madly shouting, "Ah z-z-z-z-z-zha¡ª" "-6" "-6" "-6" "-6"! Every time he stabbed it, the tentacle would violently vibrate and jump up, as if it was an earthworm that was cut in half and still struggling, without any show of its mightiness from before! Also, its weak struggling efforts weren''t able to touch Da Fei at all, the special skill of the long weapon was still effective! Finally, after leaving a floor of green blood, that tentacle that was stabbed until it was mashed up finally retreated from the eye socket. There''s a chance! There''s actually a chance! Brouhahaha! Finally coming back to his senses, Da Fei hurriedly checked the information card. ¡ªDemonized Venom Sea Anemone King: Biotype: Large-sized plant Attack:? Defense:? Damage:? Health Points:? Attack Speed: 1, very very slow. Movement Speed: 0 Special Skill: Catapult Attack. Item drop:? EXP:? Its special skill was Catapult Attack!!! The special skill of the Hell race Level 2 unit, Howling Horned Demon¡ªalso called Jumping Demon by the open beta players! ¡ªHowling Horned Demon: Attack 3, Health Points 13, Damage 1-4, Attack Speed 8, Movement Speed 5, Special Skill: Catapult Attack, Enrage. The Howling Horned Demons lived on the islands of Hell''s Lava Sea. Although they were slow in movement speed, they could depend on their jumping ability which was on par to that of flying units and move about between the islands. And because of this, they had the Catapult Attack ability which no demon dared to underestimate. ¡ªCatapult Attack: The Howling Horned Demons can use their amazing jumping ability to use their bodies as cannons and shoot themselves to the furthest corner of the battlefield, or even into the city wall. The further they jump, the larger the damage caused when they land. But because of the high mobility, it also creates a flaw of having a drop in their accuracy. After they land, they will be in a state of vulnerability with zero Defense and take double damage. Using Catapult Attack continuously will increase the vulnerability effect, increasing the damage taken. Being a Level 2 unit, the Howling Horned Demons were also one of the low-level creeps that players were afraid of the most. Of course, all of the units from the Hell race would cause a headache to players if they became creeps in the wild. The Catapult Attack of the Howling Horned Demon could cause damage two to three times higher than its own maximum Damage. When players faced this demon, it would be hard for them to come out unharmed. Many high-level units could also be killed by this demon. This unit was practically the most valuable as a cannon folder suicide soldier! Only then did Da Fei understand why he could inflict six damage when his damage was only 1-3! This means to say that the Attack Speed of this BOSS was very slow and depended entirely on its special skill, Catapult Attack to attack others. And for its Attack Speed, it wasn''t just low, wasn''t it? It was practically close to zero, only one point in Attack Speed! This means that when a player attacked ten times, it could only attack one time! That was why he stabbed it for so long until it was almost a mash and it still couldn''t retaliate! Of course, this Attack Speed of 1 should be referring to each tentacle. But his BOSS had tens of tentacles, so the problem of low Attack Speed wasn''t a problem. But now, it was different. Because Da Fei was hiding in the skull, only one tentacle could go inside the eye socket! So this was the case! The accuracy of the Catapult Attack wasn''t high in the first place, plus I was moving about full speed, that''s why I dodged all of its attacks! Da Fei sucked in a deep breath, then moved his head near the eye socket again. This part was the most crucial and also the most dangerous in his strategy! It might not be hard to succeed once, but the problem was to succeed for 10 plus times! However, for a veteran construction worker like Da Fei who had experienced hanging from outside a building very high up many times and had excellent psychological quality, it wasn''t hard to do it safely once, and it also wasn''t hard to do it safely for 10 plus times! Chapter 13:A Professional Player Is Trained Through Solo Killing Boss Creatures The time in the game passed very quickly, the night was about to be over soon. The entire ground inside the skull was covered with green slime. Highly concentrating on his task, Da Fei couldn''t remember how many tentacles he had lured and killed anymore. When he carefully moved his head near the eye socket again, the familiar swooshing of the wind didn''t come! Had he finished killing the tentacles? Secretly looking out, he saw that the ground outside was covered in green slime too. Tens of tentacles that were completely mashed were still wriggling about on the ground. He had succeeded! He had destroyed all of the tentacles! Now, without its tentacles, the BOSS was just a toothless tiger. If he couldn''t defeat it even in this situation, he would never be able to defeat it! Da Fei walked out of the skull. Sensing him coming near, the tentacles started to struggle to get near him. Hehe, no need to struggle, let me end your pain! Da Fei stood from afar and stabbed all of the tentacles to death. What was remaining should be just the main body in the ground, right? Nothing much needed to be said now. Da Fei stabbed into the ground, -2! Also, when he retreated his pike, a patch of green slime was brought out too! No response? Da Fei excitedly stabbed again, -2! It can''t retaliate? Haha! Brouhaha! This is the effect I want! Da Fei laughed madly! I said that I''m a professional! How could the beginner village have a creature that a new player couldn''t defeat? This is solo killing a BOSS! Since past and present times, this is how professionals started out! This is a building stone of one success to another! This is a good opening, it''s half of what''s needed to succeed in life! Da Fei ferociously stabbed at the ground continuously, enjoying this hard-won victory! The sky started turning bright, and the sounds of the water were loud as thunder. The tide was coming in! At the same time, Da Fei stabbed for the last time! Then, a golden light descended on him from the sky! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King! You obtained 6,000 EXP points! You obtained the heart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King! You obtained Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King seed! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 5! Health Points +2, Strategy Attribute +1, Skill Point +1, Command Power +1, Base Damage +1. ¡ªSystem Message: You gathered a part of the information on the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King, you have further improved the information card. ¡ªSystem Message: You have solo-killed a Boss monster that is of a higher level than yourself, you obtained the achievement "Lone Warrior", Health Points +10, Base Damage +1. The next achievement "Lone Warrior 10 Victories in a Row", will require you to kill 10 Boss monsters of a higher level than you without bringing any units. ¡­ Looking at the large chunk of system messages which was within his expectations, Da Fei laughed loudly again! This was the required reward for solo-killing a BOSS! What he lacked most now was damage and the achievement rewarded him with one point, while he got another one point for hitting Level 5. It was really a double blessing! Currently, Da Fei''s attributes were: Level 5¡ªAttack: 4, Defense: 3 (Personal Defense 3), Health Points: 28, Damage: 3-5, Attack Speed: 10, Movement Speed: 10, Command Power: 4, Reputation: 0, Tactical Position: 1, Stamina: 100. Skill: Elementary Nautical Skill, Intermediate Reconnaissance Skill (Sub-skill Intelligence Gathering), 1 unassigned Skill Point. Brouhaha! Compared to yesterday, eh, which was a few hours ago, it''s really different from that fragile pikeman with 1-3 damage and 10 Health Points! But speaking of which, pikemen aren''t weak, actually. At least compared to the Level 1 units with normally only five, six, or seven Health Points, that 10 Health Points were enough to dominate over them! But this isn''t over yet! There''s still the BOSS rewards! ¡ªHeart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King: Weapon enchantment. Increase one point of paralytic toxin damage to the weapon. ¡ªThe seed of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King: Unit resource base. In a specific environment, able to groom the new type of unit, Demonized Venom Sea Anemone. Small chance to groom the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King. Construction condition: Unknown. Da Fei was shocked! A unit resource base that could grow a new type of unit! Which was also known as the Unit Building! Normally, the unit resource base would come in the form of a blueprint. For example, a player would obtain the blueprint for a pikemen base and then apply it to construct it in a city or town. After spending 10 units of wood and 10 units of stone plus 1,000 gold coins and finish constructing the base, the player could then hire pikemen from his base for a low price and wouldn''t need to hire pikemen from NPC barracks for a high price anymore. Of course, if a player still wanted to lower the cost, the player could hire a pikeman instructor, and so on. As for a unit resource base resulting from a seed, this was still quite unique. Of course, unit resource bases were what Overlord players liked the most, so the best option was to sell it away! During open beta testing, a strange Slingshot Gnome Instructor was valued at 100,000 US dollars! That was a few hundred thousand Yuan! Not to mention that plant-type monsters were eerie and sinister, selling it for one million shouldn''t be a problem. However, the construction condition was unknown, so this would affect the price by quite a bit. Never mind! A unit resource base is very valuable, after all. Even if I can''t sell it for a million, selling it for 100,000 still shouldn''t be a problem. If that can''t do, then I will just sell it for 50,000! Brouhaha, I''m going to become rich! Rich! I knew it, becoming a professional gamer is the right path to take! I knew that after all these years of not winning the lottery, my luck has all been gathered up to this point and coming into effect in one shot! Once the market for unit resource base starts, I shall immediately sell it! Suddenly, Da Fei noticed the wooden barrels half-buried in the sand. What were those? Da Fei opened one of the barrels. ¡ªSystem Message: You obtained three units of Fine Crystal Sulfur! Da Fei was shocked again! This was a super rare strategic resource! It could only be discovered in the New World, those in the Old World were all normal sulfur. One unit of Fine Crystal Sulfur equaled to 10 units of normal sulfur. He had become even richer! What was one unit? One unit equaled 100 portions. What was one portion? Military units would all need to eat and drink and deplete resources. A normal soldier would deplete one portion of food and water in one day. For high-level units like Angels, they would require one portion of crystal and gem per day. A portion was the basic daily consumption standard. And one unit equaled 100 portions. Because this game involved territory management and trading, when doing trading with NPCs, it would definitely be in large quantities and not retail. They wouldn''t sell for less than 100 portions. It was the same as how when trading in stocks, one lot equaled 100 shares. In the game, the trades were all done in "units". For players, they could at most carry 10 units of resources on them. The excess would have to be transported using vehicles. Once they lost a battle, their vehicles and the resources would land into the enemy''s hand. Da Fei continued to open the barrels. ¡ªSystem Message: You obtained two units of Mithril! Mithril! The Mithril mentioned in the diary! This barrel did indeed drop off from the ship. ¡ªSystem Message: You obtained two units of Concentrated Mercury! Another resource from the New World! Looks like all of these barrels were from the ship. They must be samples the expedition team brought back from the New World, right? But why did the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King grow near these barrels? Acting as a wild creep that''s guarding these resources? Never mind, once I sell these, I will obtain my first sum of start-up capital! Brouhaha. The thundering sound in the distance reminded Da Fei that it was time to return. Da Fei swam back to the lone reef again and took out the last reward from the battle. The heart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King. What effect does the paralytic toxin have? This didn''t seem to be stated in the official information given. Weapon enchantment with toxin is common, but toxins are often accompanied by effects such as Weakening Attack, Weakening Defense, Weakening Damage, and so on. However, due to the limited survival capability of plant monsters, if it''s just an ordinary toxin effect, then there would be no value of it surviving at all, and it would have already been eliminated by nature! This paralytic toxin must definitely be the crucial point that enabled this monster to survive, so it''s definitely very awesome! Oh right, the information on the Sea Anemone King was improved, let''s see it. Da Fei opened the information card: ¡ªDemonized Venom Sea Anemone King: Biotype: Large-sized Plant-type Boss Attack:? Defense: 4 Damage:? Health Points: 600 Attack Speed: 1, very very slow. Movement Speed: 0 Special Skill: Concealment, Catapult Attack, ?. Item Drops: Heart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King (100% drop rate). The seed of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King (3% drop rate, 100% drop rate for the first kill) EXP: 6,000 The information was indeed improved by quite a bit! 600 Health Points! It was indeed a BOSS, its Health is as much as three small Angels! This information will definitely be able to sell for a good price! There''s still one more special skill not known, but from the item drops, it must definitely be related to the paralytic toxin. After all, I didn''t get hit at all, so I will never be able to discover what its Attack attribute is. Nothing much needed to be said, one point of Damage enchantment won''t be able to sell for too much no matter how eerie it is. I shall use it myself! ¡ªSystem Message: Do you want to use the "Heart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King" on your weapon, wooden pike? Sigh, wooden pike, I keep feeling that I''m doing injustice to this enchantment. But I don''t have any other usable weapon. I''m sure that even if I can find other types of weapons on the ship, I won''t be able to find another pike. I have never heard of anybody using a pike to fight on the sea. ¡ªYes! A cold green light flashed, then became green water and seeped into the wooden pike. ¡ªSystem Message: You have successfully enchanted your weapon with the "Heart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King". You weapon increased by one point of paralytic toxin, your weapon''s name is changed to "Paralytic Toxin Wooden Pike". Yo! Even the name changed! It''s fine too. I shall bring it to the blacksmith shop in the city when I''m rich to refine it, then keep it as a memorial and family heirloom, haha! Speaking of ship, I wonder what that fellow is doing now? Da Fei took out his binoculars and looked into it, then couldn''t help but laugh in joy. So that fellow is still Level 5? I have even killed a BOSS, but he''s still killing skeletons? What a waste of his awesome account! Fine, slowly kill your skeletons. After killing the BOSS, I''m already halfway to Level 6. After I level up tonight, I shall learn Hidden Movement and come and chat with you slowly, humph. As for now, it''s time to eat. Three days in the game means it''s afternoon in the real world now. After eating lunch and coming back, it should be night here. Chapter 14:Brother Is Back Da Fei stayed in a rented place in a small market place on the outskirts of the city. There were a variety of restaurants, grocery shops, and hair salons on the street downstairs. It was a rather complicated neighborhood. However, the rent here was not much cheaper. It was not easy to survive in big cities. But it would be different very soon. He was going to be rich! In a good mood, Da Fei went to a restaurant downstairs and ordered a plate of stir-fried meat. Usually, he would drink a little. But he decided to forget it as it would be possible he had to stay up all night. Xiao Li should be doing self-study now, right? Although it was the vacation, Xiao Li was a good and hardworking child. She was always in the study room, similar to her brother who always had a place in the internet cafe. Xiao Li also had a good habit¡ªshe would turn off her mobile phone when she was studying. It was precisely because of this that Da Fei had a chance to hook up with her roommates! Da Fei called Xiao Li''s dormitory number. The phone rang for a while. Just as Da Fei was going to hang up, someone picked up the phone. ¡ª"Hello! Who are you looking for?" Da Fei''s heart skipped a beat. It was Xiao Fang indeed! She was the number one geek in Xiao Li''s dormitory! He had seen her once when he delivered something to Xiao Li! She was a beautiful bespectacled lady! He heard that she usually played games in the dormitory and skipped classes! Even so, her results had always been good. A genius, indeed! It took her so long to pick up the phone, was she in the toilet? Da Fei covered his mouth as he chuckled. "Xiao Fang ah, it''s brother!" Sister''s elder brother would, of course, be sister''s classmate''s elder brother as well! Xiao Fang laughed. "It turns out to be Big Brother. What is it?" Oh! This voice is really mesmerizing! But "Big Brother" is not affectionate at all. How about calling me "bro"? Da Fei laughed. "This, you''re not going home during the vacation?" Xiao Fang smiled. "It feels uneasy at home. Xiao Li went to the study room. Big Brother, do you need me to pass her a message?" Aye, chat with me more. Why did you jump into the topic so quickly? Da Fei said, disappointed. "Well, what day is Xiao Li''s train? I want to pass her something to bring back." Xiao Fang oh-ed. "She should be leaving the day after tomorrow, in the afternoon. As for the specific timing, you should be able to find out. Is there anything else, Big Brother? Else, I''m hanging up." Oh, Xiao Fang seemed to be busy today. Da Fei laughed. "Thanks. That''s all!" ¡ª"See you around, then, Big Brother!" And she hung up. Da Fei shook his head with a bitter smile. The female students now were all so shrewd. They could tell immediately that he was trying to hit on them. It was inevitable that he was their laughing stock. Xiao Li did not talk much about them as well. No choice, he was simply too lonely! When he became rich, he was going to buy a sea-view suite, then marry a beautiful junior! Xiao Fang was not bad! Haha, hahaha¡­ ¡­ After his meal, Da Fei went home and got online. It was getting late, the sound of the wave remained unchanged. Da Fei habitually took out his telescope to look. He only saw Raging Sea of Blood struggling. He sat on the beach waiting for his Health to recover. It was time to rest. One''s Stamina was limited, after all. The night came and the tide retreated. Da Fei finally stood up. He would conquer the shipwreck tonight! Da Fei turned back and smiled at the pile of bones. "Uncle Juan, thank you!" Da Fei''s Damage was now 4-6. It was easy to attack a 0 Defense and 11 HP anemone. He was able to kill it in two to three hits of his pike. Before he leveled up, if he was unlucky, even five or six hits would not cause enough damage to kill it. The efficiency had improved more than two or three times. It was just that it seemed that the effects of enchanted toxin did its work with anemones. It didn''t matter anymore. Level 6, I''m coming! Wahahaha. ¡­ Shipwreck. According to Raging Sea of Blood, these cursed two hours were as excruciating as an entire day in reality. Other curses could be tolerated, but the delay in Attack Speed could not be tolerated. Not only did one get attacked at the first meeting, but it would also take two or three attacks before one could kill a skeleton. Even though each attack only took 1HP, one only had 30HP. In between killing every eight or nine skeletons, one would have to go ashore to rest and recover their HP. Almost one-third of their time was wasted waiting for the HP to recover! This efficiency of leveling was enough to make Raging Sea of Blood smash his computer. It was getting dark, he had finally waited out for the curse to run its course. The number of skeleton spawns increased on the deck. He could finally kill them with one attack. Raging Sea of Blood could finally vent the grievances he felt the entire day! 50 kills! 100 kills! 200 kills! Finally, there was a golden flash of light. Level 6! Raging Sea of Blood upgraded his attack 50% close-combat damage at Master-level and added the attribute points to his Attack. He was not more than capable of taking down the Boss! Raging Sea of Blood laughed out loud. "Magic Book, here I come!" Only when he experienced the pain of black magic could he understand the pleasure of torturing others! Raging Sea of Blood charged all the way to the cabin, but suddenly, there were no more skeletons. Eh? Were there no more spawns? As he was wondering, heavy footsteps came from the hallway in front of him. This was definitely not the sound of skeletons! Raging Sea of Blood frowned and prepared himself! It appeared! It was a zombie! Raging Sea of Blood was so shocked he cursed. "Damn it. Why is it a zombie!?" ¡ªZombie: Attack: 1, Defense: 2, Damage: 1-2, Health: 17, Attack Speed: Very slow 6, Movement Speed: 4, EXP: 10, Command Value: 1. Special Skill: Mid-level Defense Skills. Zombies, the famous Level 2 army of the Undead, and the famous protagonist of apocalypses! In this game, the zombies'' Attack, Defense, Damage, and Attack Speed were at the bottom of the second-class army. They were no better than the Level 1 army. But its Health was 17 and it came with an Intermediate Defense of 20% close-combat damage reduction. High spawns and low cost allowed it to drop to the strongest cannon fodder among the low-level army! Of course, it was also the most popular in terms of EXP value among players! While looking at the slow-moving zombies, Raging Sea of Blood, who was in shock, did not think of them as EXP at all! How could this be? Were the Boss'' summons spawns upgraded because I leveled up? These are zombies with 17 HP. Not skeletons with 5 HP that I can kill with just one attack! It will take at least three attacks to kill one! Raging Sea of Blood began to quickly calculate the cost of killing a Zombie: Zombie''s Attack Speed: 6, my Attack Speed: 12. It can only strike back once after two attacks. Its 2 points of Defense offsets my 2 points of Attack. My 4-7 Damage can cause 5-9 Damage. Its Intermediate Defense offsets my Level 2 Defense skills with only a 30% damage bonus. The final damage is 6.5-11! It will take two to three attacks! No matter whether it''s two or three attacks, I will need to suffer its attack once. If I''m cursed, it will take three to four attacks¡­ No! It can''t be calculated this way! The Damage of Zombies is lower than that of Skeletons, but the Attack Speed is almost twice as slow. I can completely ignore the siege of Zombies and go for the Boss! In other words, it might seem that the summons have become stronger, but in fact, it''s easier to fight the Boss! At this moment, the first Zombie approached Raging Sea of Blood. Raging Sea of Blood raised the sword and slashed the Zombie twice before it fell to the ground. Before the Zombie died, Raging Sea of Blood suffered -1 HP. Raging Sea of Blood was furious! Why was his Attack Speed 12 and not 12.1!? If only his Attack Speed was a little higher, even by 0.001, he would be able to take the Zombie down in two attacks without suffering any loss of HP. As it was, when he charged to attack the Boss, he would already be covered with blood! Damn it. As long as he still had 24 HP, even if he was cursed, he would be able to get rid of the 16 HP Spirit! Hence, Raging Sea of Blood charged forward killing the Zombies and reached the cabin where the Magic Book was located. He was once again dumbfounded! The Boss upgraded as well! It was no longer a Spirit with 16 HP. It was a more advanced form of the Spirit, Wraith! ¡ªWraith: Attack: 2, Defense: 5, Damage: 4-6, Health: 20, Attack Speed: 15, Command Value: 2, Special Skill: Void Body, Absorb Magic. ¡ªAbsorb Magic: Wraith can suck the enemy''s Magical Value to restore its HP. Can only be used once in each battle. Isn''t it just a little more blood, a little more Damage, a little more Attack and Defense! I''m not afraid of your Draw Magic! I''m going all out! Raging Sea of Blood gritted his teeth and charged toward it again, cursed¡­ ¡­ Low tide beach, after countless sea anemones, the golden light flashed above Da Fei''s head! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations, you have reached Level 6! HP+2. You have obtained 1 Strategy Attribute, 1 Skill Point, and your Command Value increased by 1. Da Fei sighed a breath of relief. He had been buried in the game for three days! At last, there was some achievement! Da Fei opened his Reconnaissance Skill book and a golden light flashed! ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill "Hidden Movement"! ¡ªHidden Movement: Hero will not be discoverable by enemies and monsters within a certain distance. The actual effects will vary based on the level of Reconnaissance Skill, level of enemies, time, and location. When the hero uses Hidden Movement, he cannot lead any troops. Learning Requirements: Advanced Reconnaissance Skill. This was Hidden Movement! A must-learn core skill for die-hard adventure treasure hunters! It was the most charismatic skill in the entire Reconnaissance Skill! It was also an indispensable skill for all kinds of thief-themed games, similar to Stealth. From a practical point of view, such a skill was definitely a godly skill. However, in this game, it was not easy to use Stealth in the daytime. At least, it could not blind people in broad daylight. One still had to use shadows of corner obstacles to enhance the effect. My HP is now 30. Damage of 4-6 with strange paralysis poison is no weaker than Godly Heroes. Now, I even learned Hidden Movement. I''m finally a Godly Hero who can attack, retreat or hide! Shipwreck, here I come! Before he left, Da Fei waved to the sea anemones. "Sea anemone comrades, it''s been hard on you!" Chapter 15:Self-Evolving Shipwreck Boss When Da Fei returned to the deserted island after three days, the deck of the shipwreck was peaceful under the night sky. There were no skeletons in sight. Where was the other guy? Did he go into the cabin? Did he go offline for food? Without another thought, Da Fei went into Hidden Movement mode. At this time, Da Fei''s character became blurred and dim, perfectly blending with the darkness of the night. Then, he climbed onto the boat by climbing up a rope that was hanging down one side of the boat. The deck was littered with bones. That guy had gone into the cabin! Da Fei entered the cabin quietly. The way there was littered with Zombie corpses. Something had happened! He went up to take a look! What would he do after taking a look? He would, of course, act according to the circumstances! Anyone who had played Thief before would know that spying on people and not getting found out made them feel wonderfully superior! As a Thief, spying was in itself an enjoyable activity. Of course, as a Thief, the most exciting thing should be accessing the two locked rooms on both sides of the corridor, right? If Da Fei could pick up a skill book and a task diary in the wild, God knew what he would find in these rooms? That meant he had to learn how to pick locks! "Motherf**ker! Motherf**ker! Motherf**ker!" Resentful shouts accompanied by sounds of slashing and killing came from further up. Da Fei hurried forward to take a look and was immediately surprised! Boss! Under siege by a few Zombies, Raging Sea of Blood was surrounded by a smoky green aura desperately casting curses trying to kill the Boss! F**k, he was really fierce! Da Fei could no longer remain calm! He earned a lot from just a Boss out on the beach. Killing the Boss in the shipwreck should be even more profitable! Look, look at what the Boss had in his hand? Could it be a dark Magic Book that had a record of all dark magic? How could such a thing appear in a beginner island! Could it be a high-end reward from the beginner training grounds for Godly Heroes? This was an A-class strategic treasure! The spellbook itself was magical. It allowed ignorant little newbies to cast spells without any mana or magic skill requirements! For those who specialized in dark spells, this book was of course not worth much. But, for people in other disciplines, it was tantamount to directly adding a full set of dark skills! This was especially important for players who did not have magic! Imagine this, if a newcomer got a full set of dark magic skills early in the game, in the future, leveling up to do tasks would be as easy as sitting on a rocket! Not to mention, if this book was sold on the Internet, it would fetch at least tens of thousands! At this time, both Raging Sea of Blood and the Boss'' HP was low! F**k, the Boss''s HP was almost empty, it was about to die! F**k! He missed it! Da Fei decided to rush in! There was nothing to be said about it, Internet games were like that¡ªKill! Loot!! KS the Boss!!! He had done similar things before, and it did not matter if that meant that his character was bad. He did not bother about justice nor treating others'' web addiction. Now that gaming was his occupation, there was no hesitation when he encountered situations such as this! The winner had to step on the loser to move upwards, and no one cared about the loser''s character. He could always work on his character after he made it. As long as he got the book, the Godly Hero was just scum to him. He was not afraid that the other party would seek revenge. He would just kill him every time he came! At this time, Raging Sea of Blood had no idea that a hidden assailant was coming and again cut a "Miss"! The very important strike once again missed! He was done for! Raging Sea of Blood''s face immediately turned pale! Da Fei''s pounding heart was in his throat! Something was wrong! Raging Sea of Blood realized he still had one final chance! Because the last attack missed as well, and the Wraith''s ability, Void Body, was that there would never be three misses in a row. That meant the next hit would definitely be successful! Although his HP was too low to take another hit, his attack speed was fast and the next attack would probably result in both sides dying together. In that case, the treasure would still be his! This was the right move! The situation was no longer reversible, the Magic Book would be his! "Motherf**ker!!!" With a flash of cold steel, Raging Sea of Blood brandished his sword, determined to land the last strike successfully! At the same time, the Zombies besieging him also struck out with their claws! Da Fei was just one step away from Raging Sea of Blood! Da Fei was desolate¡ªhe had lost the advantage! Even if he killed him now, he could not stop him from perishing together with the Boss! The Boss'' treasure would automatically go into his inventory! He was too late! He should have rushed straight in! At this moment, the Magic Book flashed black. The Wraith flashed white and a bright green "+10!" appeared. Wraith Ability Absorb Magic: The Wraith can absorb the enemy''s Magical Value to restore its Health. It can only be used once in a battle. Although Raging Sea of Blood had no mana, the Magic Book had! Raging Sea of Blood''s wild laughter suddenly stopped! His attack on the Wraith caused -5 damage to it. Then, he was hit by a Zombie. In disbelief, he dissolved into white light and died! Wahaha! The originally regretful Da Fei was ecstatic when he saw the newest change in the situation! Great! He died! It saved him some loss of Reputation from killing another player! His precious pike would not have to kill insignificant rats, wahahaha! There was nothing left to say. The Boss only had a little HP left, the kill was his for sure! Da Fei rushed into the room ecstatically, stopped, raised his pike, ignored the Zombies, and took a stab at the Boss!!! ¡ª"-3!" He was still alive, he still had 3 HP. One more hit! At this moment, the Magic Book flashed wildly with a black light! The room filled with black smoke! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained a complete Evil Spirit information card! What? Evil Spirit? The black light faded away, and in the room was an Evil Spirit with full Health holding the Magic Book! Da Fei''s jaw dropped! What the hell!? Was this for real? Not only did it have full Health, but it had also upgraded from Wraith to Evil Spirit! ¡ªEvil Spirit: Attack: 5, Defense: 6, Damage: 5-7, Health: 25, Attack Speed: 10, Movement Speed: 15, Command Value: 2, Special Skill: Void Body, Absorb Magic, Self-heal. Evil Spirit, the elite form of a third-level soldier of the Undead! In the game, there were three forms of troops for each faction and level. The three forms of the third-level soldiers of the Undead race were Spirits, Wraiths, and Evil Spirits. The Spirit was the common form and was relatively weak; Wraith was a little more advanced and had one more ability; Evil Spirit was the elite form and had one more ability than the Wraith. Take the Templar Pikeman, for example. Da Fei started out with 0 Attack and 0 Defense, without armor. That was the common form. The advanced form was regular Pikeman. It had a few more Attack and Defense points. The elite form was called the Royal Pikeman. They had bright and mighty armor and were of a totally different level compared to villagers holding pikes! Elite troops were the foundation of the NPC forces that dominated the Old World. Ordinary players could not hire them directly from the main city and barracks, nor could they be trained in castles. They had to achieve a certain Lord''s level before they could get such soldiers from the NPCs. It was also because NPCs had elite troops that players were at a disadvantage when they fought NPC forces. In short, players should not provoke the NPC forces. If one died, they would lose experience. But if their troops died, they would have to spend gold to get them back. Players gained one troop formation for every 10 levels or after gaining a certain army official position. One troop formation could only contain one unit. Although there was a big gap between the elite, advanced, and common form, they were the same type of unit. Hence, a troop formation could have all three types of units at the same time. For the Undead race, the two types of Level 1 troops, the advanced form Skeleton Shooter and the ordinary form Skeleton Soldier could be mixed together in a formation even though they both had different abilities. This made them very efficient as they complemented each other. Long-distance attacks had a very low chance of hitting the target. However, once the enemy engaged the close-range attack troops, they would become sitting ducks. Every attack would be successful. Anyway, every player knew the advantages of having long and close-range attacks that complemented each other. Hence, to date, the two most popular races to start with were the Undead, as they were easiest to start with, as well as Humans. As for why the Human Race was popular, it should be obvious, people felt a sense of connection to it. ¡­ Now, faced with the Boss who had suddenly evolved into an Evil Spirit, Da Fei shook off his shock and composed himself. Run! What else could he do but run? However, as a master with years of gaming experience, Da Fei knew that he must not run straight back along the same path. Otherwise, he would definitely get hit by all the curses! He was not like the Godly Hero who could still continue going head-to-head against the Boss despite being cursed! Taking advantage of the fact that the Boss had yet to find his bearings, Da Fei immediately turned the corner when he exited the door. He made his way to the depths of the ship. ¡­ Raging Sea of Blood resurrected in Coconut Forest on the deserted island. He waited, impatient and annoyed, for the 10 minutes of weakness to pass. If he knew that his butthole had almost been stabbed, he would be even more annoyed. Dying had caused him to drop back to Level 5. The attribute points from leveling up the last time had been taken back by the system. The only good thing was that after dying, all the curses on him were cleared. Otherwise, he would have smashed the machine immediately! Raging Sea of Blood began to reflect painfully on this Boss that would regenerate to full HP once. Obviously, this boss would grow stronger as he himself grew stronger. He had to find a suitable time to challenge it. One of the reasons for the loss this time was the Zombies. Although the Attack and Speed of the Zombie were low and slow, it did not mean that he could ignore it. In that case, he had to learn the Master-level attack Cleave. ¡ªCleave: Passive Skill. After killing the enemy in front of you, you can carry over the damage to neighboring enemies. For example, after killing an enemy with only 1 HP left with 5 damage, the remaining 4 damage will go to the enemy''s allies. The larger the size of the unit, the better the effect of the cleave. Many large units have the Cleave skill. Prerequisites for learning: Master-level offensive skills must be mastered. It was a compulsory skill to learn in order to master offensive skills! The advantage of this skill was that once one hit a Spirit Boss and missed, the damage of the attack would be directed to the Zombies next to the Boss. In other words, he had to level up to Level 7 before he could add a skill point to it. Wait! Raging Sea of Blood suddenly thought of an important point. If he had been better equipped, he would have been able to kill it, right? Why did he have to insist on killing this Boss? There must be weapons and equipment in the shipwreck. All he had to do was go around the Boss to get them, right? When he was better equipped, he could go back for the Boss! "Damn it! All my defense was wasted!" Raging Sea of Blood had figured it out and then rose, angry and impatient, eager to go on his way! Chapter 16:Sunken Ship Cargo Da Fei fled anxiously into the depths of the pathway. After he was a distance away, he quickly used the Hidden Movement skill to slow down the Zombies'' pursuit and finally caught his breath. One could tell why the Thief occupation was so popular! It was a pity that this game was not suitable for lone occupations. At the end of the pathway was a flight of stairs leading to the bottom of the ship. Generally, for a large sailing ship such as this, the stern of the deck was the seafarers'' dormitory, and the cabin below the deck was the cargo warehouse. In order to facilitate the loading and unloading of cargo, the real entrance was on the deck in the middle of the hull. Da Fei had returned to the sunken ship to look for treasures! Da Fei went down the stairs to the cargo warehouse without hesitation and caught a whiff of a foul, rotting smell. ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill has detected powerful enemies nearby, please stay alert! Da Fei felt tightness in his heart! Of course he knew there were powerful enemies nearby. He had already seen them! At the end of the pitch-black warehouse, he could see a pair of cold flames lit up like fireflies in the dark. It was extremely eerie and terrifying! It must be a Boss-level monster! En, it was only right that there was a Boss, it would be weird if there wasn''t. In any case, Da Fei was here now. He had to figure things out no matter what. The greatest value of the Hidden Movement was to be able to do things under the Boss'' nose. It was a warehouse with various wooden barrels. There were some corpses lying on the ground. Da Fei had no doubt that once he went near them, they would jump up. He went around and stayed close to the wall, and made several new discoveries. ¡ªSystem Message: You found a Spare Sailcloth. (Large Item, cannot be carried around) ¡ªSystem Message: You found a Ship Repair Material (Large Item, cannot be carried around) ¡ªSystem Message: You found a Spare Rope (Large Item, cannot be carried around) ¡ªSystem Message: You found a Spare Carpentry Repair Tools. (Large Item, cannot be carried around) What was the purpose of these items? Was there a need to say more? Of course they were used for ship repair! Which meant, players could use this ship! ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! You are about to enter the line of sight of a powerful enemy! Da Fei was shocked. He immediately withdrew! In the darkness, he could only see the huge silhouette of the Boss. It seemed to be a big and tall Zombie, quiet and motionless. Da Fei then circled the cabin, staying outside of the warning distance of Boss. When he was sure of the situation within the cabin, Da Fei began to plan. He needed to use these resources in order to repair the ship. To do that, he would need to get rid of this Zombie Boss who was guarding the cabin. The Boss must be very strong seeing that his eyes were of a pair of cold flames. What level would he need to be in order to kill this Boss? Although he had solo-ed a Boss with 600 HP, he had taken advantage of the plant monsters'' handicapped inability. He was just a weak Pikeman who could not even defeat an ordinary Level 3 Evil Spirit. In other words, he had to defeat the Evil Spirit first and get the Magic Book! At least the Evil Spirit was just an ordinary monster and not a Boss. It would be more likely that he could defeat it. It seemed that it was not easy to obtain the Magic Book. The Evil Spirit could restore its HP and heal itself. How about players? Da Fei did not even have one potion! The thing was, what if the Boss suddenly leveled up? The Magic Book had provided the Evil Spirit with Strength, would he continue to level up and upgrade the Boss'' form? There would be no way to defeat it, then. That meant that he would most likely have to team up with Raging Sea of Blood, right? Damn it! Team my foot! Even if I team up with him, when the Boss is dying, that will be when we go head-to-head against each other! It''s not that I don''t trust others¡ªif he didn''t scheme against me, I would scheme against him! Aye, don''t tell me that I''m scum, there''s no need to talk about character when my reputation is such. Seriously. Wait a minute. Potion? Was the key to killing the Evil Spirit finding the potion? Where was the potion? Da Fei looked at the corpses lying on the ground. That was the only place in the cabin he had not searched yet. Regardless, he had to give it a try. He might even be able to find some Skill Books or equipment. At this time, he heard rapid footsteps on the deck above. Da Fei was stunned. What was that? Raging Sea of Blood? Fire lit up the stairway. Fire torch! F**k! Who would light a fire torch? Was this person courting death? Da Fei immediately hid behind the barrels and sailcloth behind him. He did not hide because he was afraid of him. He was afraid of being seen by the Boss! Hidden Movement did not mean he was invisible. It might work well in the dark night, but it was no use during the daytime! Plop! Raging Sea of Blood raised his fire torch and jumped down! Under the light of the fire torch, the surroundings could instantly be seen! There were indeed corpses lying everywhere on the ground and full of junk! The Boss was indeed a big and tall Zombie! It was only then that Da Fei saw that the position of the Boss was at the entrance leading to the next warehouse! This meant to say, this was a guarding Boss! What was behind that door? The Boss moved! The Zombies on the ground began to move as well! Raging Sea of Blood instantly saw what was going on in the cabin. His eyes suddenly lit up and he charged towards the Boss! Did he escape down here because he couldn''t defeat what was above? Was he so powerful? Was he simply courting death? Seeing his shocking actions, Da Fei was dumbfounded! Game data was just data, but people were living things. Under the limitation of data, he displayed a player''s initiative. He was a master! This extraordinary skill was only second to Da Fei''s avoidance of the Sea Anemone King''s tentacle! But, what was he doing instead of attacking the Boss? Wait! Da Fei just realized there was a weapon rack beside the Boss! And there was a War Blade on it! If the Boss hadn''t moved, he could not see it from his angle at all! And Raging Sea of Blood was clearly charging toward the weapon rack! F**k! So there was a weapon! He did not see it before as he did not dare to go near the Boss! ¡ªBang! Raging Sea of Blood pounced on the weapon rack, then quickly turn around to escape, laughing wildly! F**k! He succeeded! ¡ªPuu! Da Fei puked blood! Although he couldn''t use the War Blade as a Pikeman, allowing someone else to get hold of a good piece of equipment was equivalent to giving the Magic Book Boss to them! If he had known there was a War Blade there, he would have gone all out to snatch it! He never expected that even though he came first, someone else would have taken the lead! ¡ªBang! -15! A big red number appeared above Raging Sea of Blood''s head. It was possible for a player to avoid attacks while running, but it was a different matter when they turned around to escape! Da Fei was shocked! 15 Damage! The standard of a Level 5 soldier! He would kill Da Fei in two strikes! It was impossible to defeat this Zombie! Raging Sea of Blood, who had suffered an attack, continued to laugh wildly and ran for his life. It was clear that this War Blade could greatly increase his chances. Otherwise, he would not be so excited. The more Da Fei thought about it, the more regretful he felt! The Zombies in the room finally rose. They continued to strike -1 HP attacks on Raging Sea of Blood, and he continued to escape at full speed, ignoring the attacks. Just as he was about to reach the staircase, the Zombie Boss suddenly jumped up¡ªthrowing himself at Raging Sea of Blood! A white light flashed. He died! This Zombie Boss was really a Titan! The fire torch fell on the ground and the room was dark once again! Da Fei finally came to himself! He might have taken one wrong step, but it was not too late. He still had a chance! Moreover, this Boss was so odd, he might not even be able to defeat him even if he had a new weapon. There was no need for him to be at a loss! Before the Boss returned to his position, Da Fei came out from hiding and went through the gate that the Boss guarded previously¡­ ¡­ In the coconut tree forest on the deserted island, the resurrected Raging Sea of Blood waved his loot and laughed heartily! ¡ªSailor''s War Blade: Personal Attack +3, Attack Speed +1, Basic Damage +3, Durability 57/150. With this War Blade, his Personal Attack became 7-10 from 4-7. The addition in Personal Attack and Attack Speed would allow him to kill a 17 HP Zombie in two strikes. The most important thing was, it increased his Attack Speed by 1 point! This was a real leap forward. Before, his Attack Speed was 12, and the Zombie''s was 6. After his second strike, the Zombie would be able to retaliate. It was inevitable to lose some HP. With this additional Attack Speed, the Zombie would no longer have a chance to strike back! Which meant, he could charge to the Magic Book Boss without losing even 1 HP. He would not need to wait until Level 7 in order to learn Cleave. When the weakness period had passed, he would be able to kill the Boss! Haha! Wahahaha! I should have thought of this earlier! Chapter 17:Ballista in the Artillery Cabin Taking advantage of the darkness and chaos, Da Fei rushed into an aisle that looked like where the dormitory was located and entered the next cabin. Then, not even daring to breathe, he crouched quietly beside the wall next to the door. The Boss should have gone back to his position by now, right? Da Fei stuck his head out and looked backward. Sure enough, the Boss'' back was again blocking the exit to the aisle. At the same time, there was no warning from the Reconnaissance Skill, which meant the Boss was unable to detect things behind it. Da Fei was relieved. It was now time to search the warehouse. He hoped he would find something. Da Fei moved along the wall carefully and started searching. The cabin had no rotting smell, but it did smell slightly of engine oil. ¡ªSystem Message: You found a broken Ballista. (Large Item, cannot be carried around) Da Fei was stunned! Ballista? The famous Ballista mentioned in the Study of the War Machines? Da Fei took a closer look. Yes! It was a broken Ballista! The Ballista was said to be the Boss Killer! ¡ªSystem Message: You found Ballista Ammunition. (Large Item, cannot be carried around) ¡ªSystem Message: You found a Mechanical Repair Tool. ¡ªSystem Message: You found a Fishing Rod. There were even ammunition and repair tools! Was it possible that this Ballista could be used? It made sense. How could an expedition ship go out to sea unarmed? Winds were strong out at sea and targets were far away. Bows and arrows would not work well, so the Ballista was the best weapon! This meant that this was the ship''s artillery cabin! The ships in this game were based on antique ship designs. When the sailing ships in movies went up against each other, two fleets would line up in a row and the artillery cabin windows would go up. The ships would then bombard each other to see who had more cannons and ammunition, and who could withstand the attack for a longer time. If that was the case, there might be more than one Ballista in this artillery cabin! Da Fei continued to search in the dark. Indeed, he found 16 Ballistas, 8 on each side, with ammunition. However, they were all seriously damaged, none was intact! There seemed to be no enemies in the entire artillery cabin. At the end of the artillery cabin was a locked iron door, and there was no way to continue onwards. According to the usual operation of the game, the only way to move on was to kill the Boss. He understood now! As an experienced gamer, what was the intention of such a scene appearing in the Beginner''s Village? It was of course to teach rookies War Machine Knowledge and to let them try out the Ballista! That was how he learned the Reconnaissance Skill in the quiet Beginner''s Village. It should be the same for Ballista usage! If an ordinary player chose to start with the War Machine ability, he would be at a machine workshop in the city working as an apprentice so they could make money to buy a discounted Ballista. The only difference between this place and the workshop in the city should be that there was no mentor here. One could only figure it out for themselves! According to the rules, he had to find the War Machine Skill Book. The book must be in a corner of this cabin! Once he had the Skill Book, he would be able to repair these Ballistas. The powerful Ballistas were able to defeat enemies with the Impale ability. It would then be possible to defeat the powerful Zombie at the door! Of course, even if it was not for killing the Zombie Boss, War Machine was a necessary ability for Da Fei, who was determined to be a sea merchant. If one''s Reconnaissance Skill and Nautical Skill were not as good as the pirates'', when facing the pirates, the Ballista was the last line of defense. Also, if they encountered sea monsters, they would also need the Ballista for self-preservation. An introduction to the Study of the War Machines. ¡ªStudy of the War Machines: Improve the Durability and Effect of Ballistas, Siege Engines, and Medical Tents. Also allows repair of damaged war machines. The branch skills of Study of the War Machines were usually Ballista Master, Siege Master, Tent Master, Battle Repair, and Explosive Bombs. The study of War Machines covered three types of machines, and the skill set combined with other skills made a dazzling array of skills, such as Triple Crossbow, Burning Crossbow, Magic Crossbow, Sulfur Smoke Rain, Plague Tent, Plague Siege Engine, Machine Destruction, etc. It took quite a lot of Skill Points to master the entire system. War Machines were not affected by the hero''s Attack and Defense attributes, as well as other combat skills. Each player could only bring one of each type of machine, so there was no need to spend too many Skill Points on a machine. Most players chose to be Ballista Masters or Tent Masters. As for the Siege Master, it was too advanced for players to consider sieging cities at this stage of the game. Next, the Ballista. ¡ªBallista: Attack: 5, Defense: 5, Life: 100, Basic Damage: 1-2, Attack Speed: 5, Movement Speed: 1, Special Skill: Knock Back, Impale. ¡ªKnock Back: Enemies hit by Ballistas have a certain chance of being knocked back. ¡ªImpale: After the Ballista hits an enemy, the attack will continue to hit an enemy behind him. These were the default properties of the Ballista. For each level of Study of the War Machines, the Ballista''s Attack and Defense were increased by 5 points, the Basic Damage was increased by 1 point, and the maximum Life was increased by 100 points. Although the Ballista''s Attack and Defense were not subject to the hero''s Attack and Defense attributes, the Damage of the Ballista was indeed related to the hero''s Attribute Points. Different from the normal armament Damage calculation, the Damage of the Ballista was equal to the Basic Damage of the Ballista multiplied by the total value of the hero''s attributes! For example, Da Fei was now Level 6 and his Attack was 5, Defense 0, Magic 0, Knowledge 0. The total value of his attributes was 5. The Damage of the Ballista was 5-10, which was about that of a Level 4 unit. The formula meant that the stronger the hero was, the stronger his Ballista would be. Therefore, even if the hero was not one who mainly added to Attack stats, once he got to a high enough level, he would still be able to use the Ballista to its full potential. So, even though Da Fei wanted to be a merchant, he would have no disadvantage when it came to learning to use the Ballista. If one managed to master War Machines, the Ballista''s stats would be¡ªAttack: 30, Defense: 30, Life: 600, Basic Damage: 6-7. If Da Fei, who had 5 points of total attributes, used the Ballista, its Damage would be 30-35. The Damage was akin to that of a Level 7 unit! If he managed to become a Ballista Master, he would be able to fire two consecutive shots. That would mean the Damage was doubled! That meant, if a Beginner learned the Ballista right from the beginning, it was equivalent to bringing a Level 7 unit along with him. Furthermore, it would not occupy any of the hero''s Tactical Positions. It would be like having an extra army. For a Beginner, this would provide a very powerful and helpful long-range attack at the start of the game. They would be able to skip some levels and directly challenge monsters which were of a higher level, especially those powerful monsters which had long-range attacks that regular players did not dare attack. In the public beta, the players who started with the Ballista or the Medical Tent were collectively called the Mechanical Starters, and they had obvious advantages. If a player got Level 30, they would obtain 50 Attribute Points from leveling up, and the final Damage of the Ballista would be 300-350. This was far beyond any conventional arms. The damage was extremely high. It was not a matter of killing Level 7 units in one shot. Ordinary soldiers would be wiped out by one shot. A shot at sea by the Ballista would be quite a test of the quality of the ship! In short, the Ballista, which was known as the Boss Killer, was itself a Boss! Of course, a player could only bring one such Boss with him. Then, the shortcomings of the Ballista. Although the Ballista was as powerful as a Boss, it was too large and inconvenient to aim. It had a low hit rate when firing upon moving enemies, and the rate of fire was slow. If attackers went around it, it would be helpless, even more so when faced with airborne units. During the public beta, the value of the Ballista in the battlefield was just a 600-point sandbag. It attracted the first round of attack by the opponent''s magical forces. So, in the latter part of the fight, there were not many Ballistas left. The biggest disadvantage was that the Speed of the Ballista was only 1! That meant, it had a maximum Movement Speed of 1m/s. If a player carried a Ballista, he would be traveling at the speed of a turtle, even if he had mastered Logistics. Furthermore, they could only take the main roads, not small paths! Of course, the solution was to disassemble the Ballista into parts. But it would then take a long time to reassemble it before the battle. If the enemy discovered them while they were assembling the Ballista, the Skill was as good as useless. On top of that, one had to carry expensive spare parts for repairing the Ballista with them. Ultimately, players with Ballistas must win the battle. They must not allow themselves to be defeated. Once defeated¡­ Haha, they would not have to worry about moving slowly anymore. In short, the Ballista was able to provide players with very good combat support in the early stage, but it could also destroy a player. The usage of the Ballista depended on the player''s own training methods. For Da Fei, these disadvantages did not exist because naval battle and land battle were completely different concepts. The ship was like a moving castle. As long as one could get this ship, the Ballista would have to be fired from the artillery cabin. If the enemy wanted to destroy the Ballista, the artillery cabin, which was the most heavily armored portion of a ship, had to be first destroyed. So, one did not have to worry about the artillery cabin getting destroyed right at the beginning of a battle. Movement was not a problem as the Ballista moved with the ship. The hit problem was no longer a problem. The target during a naval battle was usually a pirate ship. Even if one was blind, they did not worry about not being able to hit the opponent, right? In fact, historically, giant cannons were all mounted on ships. The ship was the Ballistas'' only home. Hence, Da Fei must learn this Skill! ¡­ At this moment, after fumbling for about half a day, Da Fei finally found a book in a box! He took a closer look. It was not a golden-colored Skill Book, but a "Manual for Maintenance and Repair of Ballistas"! ¡ªManual for Maintenance and Repair of Ballistas: Auxiliary Item. Equip this item to gain Ballista disassembly and assembly Skills. Ha! It turned out to be a piece of equipment similar to the Magic Book! In the game, in addition to the typical Weapon, Armor, Ring, and Accessory panel, there were a few columns for Auxiliary Items. Miscellaneous Items for various additional Skills, additional Morale, and additional Luck were under these columns. Although he did not find the Skill Book for the Study of the War Machines, the effect of this equipment book was, in fact, better. Skill Points were not required, and it would take effect once it was equipped! If he had found a Skill Book, without any Skill Points, he would only be able to stare at it. It seemed that the intention of this scene was completely in line with Da Fei''s expectations. That was, for him to dismantle all the damaged Ballistas and then use the intact parts to reassemble new Ballistas! What was the purpose of these Ballistas? Of course, it was to kill the Zombie Boss guarding the door! Its back was facing Da Fei, waiting for him to blow it up! Even though he did not have support from the Study of the War Machines, its 100 Life was not for show! Chapter 18:Ballista VS Zombie The ten minutes of weakness after the resurrection was over. Raging Sea of Blood returned to the deck of the sunken ship wielding his brand new War Blade. Facing the Zombies, Raging Sea of Blood laughed out loud. -12 in one attack! The Damage caused was more than sufficient to kill it! "Die!" A Zombie fell to the ground from another attack. Indeed, the Zombie was not able to retaliate before it died! This 1 point increase in Attack Speed really did make a difference! He could finally face the Boss without losing any HP. He could finally kill the Boss! Raging Sea of Blood laughed as he slashed his way through the cabin. He was determined to defeat the Zombie Boss this time! Raging Sea of Blood returned to the Boss room, full of curses. With absolute strength, curses only made the difference of one strike. He had enough! Why did he have to put up with this when he played the game?! The more depressed he was, the happier he would be when he finally defeated it! As for the summoned Zombies, ignore them! The blade shimmered! Raging Sea of Blood vented his resentment and pleasure! "-6"!!! Good start! Raging Sea of Blood laughed madly! This Damage was different, indeed! I shall see how much HP you are able to restore, how many times will you be able to restore? Bang! -2! One Zombie''s attack was blocked by Raging Sea of Blood''s shield. Green liquid splattered! ¡ªSystem Message: You have been hit with the Plague Zombie''s Special Skill, Plague Attack. Attack -1, Defense -1. If you continue to get attacked by Plague Zombies, your Defense will drop to 0. Effect remains until the end of this battle. Raging Sea of Blood was stunned! It was the highest form of the Zombies, Plague Zombies! Did the summons suddenly get upgraded? ¡ªPlague Zombie: Attack: 2, Defense: 2, Damage: 2-3, Health: 17, Attack Speed: Very slow 6, Movement Speed: 4, EXP: 16, Command Value: 1. Special Skill: Mid-level Defense Skills, Plague Attack. At this moment, Raging Sea of Blood realized that the Boss in the dark was no longer a Wraith. It was an unknown Undead creature! Although its appearance was similar to the Spirit, the death energy was much stronger! What was this? There was no such introduction on this form of Spirit in the official information! The upgraded form of Boss? He was already downgraded when he died. Why was the Boss upgraded? Could it be that the Boss'' level did not sync with the player''s level, but instead leveled up every time one fought with it? Even if it was upgraded, it should have become an Evil Spirit! Were his earlier actions considered a battle, and caused it to upgrade itself? In his shock, a white light suddenly emitted from the unknown Boss and a big +3 appeared above its head! Self-healing! Bang! Another Plague Zombie joined the siege. Among the splattering of the green liquid, Raging Sea of Blood lost another 2 HP, as well as 1 point each of his Attack and Defense! He had already lost 4 points of Defense from the curse. The Zombie took away another 2 points of Defense. The advantage he had from his high Defense was almost gone! "I''m going all out!" Raging Sea of Blood was furious. He slashed the Boss frantically! -6! Miss! +4! -5! Miss! +3! -4! Raging Sea of Blood''s attack was getting weaker and weaker, and his HP was decreasing. When he lost 3 HP to a Plague Zombie''s attack, his HP was almost all gone, and the Boss still had 6-7 HP! Raging Sea of Blood finally realized that he must have missed doing some things! Retreat! Raging Sea of Blood escaped back to the island, enraged! He failed again! Raging Sea of Blood had a strong urge to smash the machine! But as he raised his fist, he felt weak from hunger! Dinner time had passed. A few days spent in the game made one forgot the existence of real-time. Raging Sea of Blood took off his helmet and shook his head. He decided to have dinner. After all, it was not possible for the trial of the Godly Hero to be easy. Raging Sea of Blood called a random food delivery number. "Is this Jinhao Hotel? I want a medium Texas beef steak, and after 12 tonight, send a medium-well Texas beef steak." "Yes, Sir! Would you like any wine to go with it?" "No." "Sure, Sir." Raging Sea of Blood was going to stay up all night. Of course he could not drink. His love for steak was often teased by others in the same line. Damn, so what? I''m a carnivore, not a herbivore! Raging Sea of Blood opened the windows to enjoy the city''s brilliant night view while letting the cold evening wind clear his head. This Boss upgraded with every fight? He had heard that some players in the United States encountered similar incidents, but those were in a dungeon. Once they failed to challenge it, the difficulty of the dungeon would increase. Hence, they must succeed. After five or six failed attempts, the player finally found a way to get through the dungeon. At that time, it had become extremely difficult to get through. The reward he received was also far beyond expectations. It was likely he was experiencing the same thing with this Boss. The next step was to continue leveling without alarming the Boss. From the way the Skeletons became zombies when he fought the Boss the second time, it should be okay as long as he didn''t enter the cabin. He decided to kill the Plague Zombies on the deck to get to Level 10 and max his Attack Skills. Although the Plague Zombie''s Special Skill was quite disgusting, it was no different from ordinary Zombies. He was able to kill them in two strikes without being attacked by them. The EXP he got was rather substantial as well. However, what if he had guessed wrong and the situation was not as such? What if he could not defeat it even after he reached Level 10? Raging Sea of Blood frowned. Then, he suddenly remembered the person named Da Fei who was sent here by the System together with him! Was it the intention of the system to have two people team up to pass the stage? He almost managed to clear it himself every time. If he had some help, they would have cleared it long ago, right? Damn! F**k team! He dared steal my loot, once he comes online, I''m going to chop him to pieces! If there was no other way, he would get his brothers to help. He wondered how Shaodong was doing. Shaodong was intelligent and often worked through the night. It was a pity such talent could not be applied to gaming. Raging Sea of Blood gave Shaodong a call. "Shaodong, how are your preparations getting along?" Laughter could be heard over the phone. "I''m bidding on the Internet with Brother Tian and Xiao Ma! We''ll create our accounts together tomorrow!" Raging Sea of Blood felt a wave of joy. "Are they good? Shaodong smiled and said, "All of us left our jobs to start a business in-game. How can we not have godly accounts?" Raging Sea of Blood broke into laughter. "F*ck jobs! There''s not just work in the game, there''s also a sea of opportunities!" ¡­ In the artillery cabin under the ship''s deck, Da Fei carefully disassembled the first Ballista in the dark. After all, he was not sure if sounds would alert the Zombie at the door. At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded from above him. Da Fei felt a sudden sense of relief! It was Raging Sea of Blood! He had come back to defeat the Boss after a break! You can''t defeat it! You can''t defeat it! In the middle of his curse, he again heard footsteps above him. Then, there was a "plop", like someone jumped into the water. Oh yeah! That meant he failed to defeat the Boss again? Wahahaha, cool! Come to think of it, how could such a strange Boss be soloed? No matter what, one''s level would have to be high enough. When you are almost done killing the Boss, I would then take a stab at him from behind! Now, Da Fei''s thoughts were well-connected and he was in a good mood. ¡ªSystem Message: You successfully dismantled the Ballista and obtained a Broken Crossbow Arm! ¡ªSystem Message: You successfully dismantled the Ballista and obtained a Deformed Trigger! ¡ªSystem message: You successfully dismantled the Ballista and obtained a Damaged Base! ¡ªSystem message: You successfully dismantled the Ballista and obtained a Crossbow in good condition! Haha, he finally got a complete part! Carry on! After about ten minutes, all parts were disassembled! ¡ªSystem message: You successfully dismantled a Ballista and gained +560 EXP! Ah! He could gain experience dismantling Ballistas! It was quite a lot of experience at that! Da Fei was overjoyed! Yes, EXP must be given in this case! Even Lanxiang New Oriental Teaching Aids had sets like this. It would be unreasonable if a person learned to do something himself and did not get EXP for it! In fact, those players who chose to begin the game as Mechanical Starters became apprentices in the machine workshop because they wanted to gain EXP, right? Haha. He continued! One night in the game was almost over. Da Fei became more skilled and dexterous. When the eleventh ballista was successfully disassembled, a golden light flashed above Da Fei''s head! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 7. You received 1 Strategic Attribute Point, 1 Skill Point, Health +2, Command Power +1. ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained all the undamaged parts needed to assemble the Ballista. You can now assemble a new Ballista! Wahahaha! It was really double happiness! He started assembling! The sky got brighter and the sun shone into the cabin through the gap of the artillery cabin door. The cabin gradually brightened up. Da Fei quickly assembled the Ballista. ¡ªSystem message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are powerful enemies near you, please be alert! Da Fei was shocked. Wasn''t the Zombie Boss who was blocking the door the most powerful enemy around? That meant it could not see him at night but could see him in the day time? He thought he would be fine behind it. It seemed that there was no way to avoid battling this Boss. He gave his all! Da Fei rushed to complete assembling the Ballista! ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are powerful enemies near you and you are about to enter the alert range of the other party! Da Fei''s sweat was like rain! It was the moment of reckoning. He must not lose his calm! It was time to test if he was a professional! ¡ªSystem message: Warning! You have been discovered by the enemy! Prepare for battle! Clatter! With a crisp sound, the last part of the Ballista, the bowstring, was finally assembled! ¡ªSystem Message: You have successfully assembled a Ballista and gained +1,000 EXP! At this point, the Zombie Boss at the door had turned around. Da Fei, who was sitting on the base of the Ballista, kicked the trigger off and pulled the bowstring to load the first Ballista Arrow! Release!!! ¡ªZing! The Ballista rumbled and the Ballista Arrow flew toward the cabin door in an arc of cold light! ¡ªBoom! -13! It hit the Zombie Boss'' chest! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the Swift Zombie! F**k! He did not manage to knock back the Zombie! What was a Swift Zombie? He had never heard of it! He had no time to read the information! Da Fei kicked the trigger again and continued to reload! The Zombie Boss arched and began to levitate! This was the same skill it used to kill Raging Sea of Blood the previous night! In Da Fei''s frightened eyes, the Boss drew a twenty-meter arc in the air of the cabin, then¡ªBoom!!! It was like a meatball hitting a crossbow car! A big -58 was displayed following the tremendous blow to the Ballista!!! ¡ªSystem Message: You have gained further information on the Swift Zombie! F**k!!! That was the Damage caused by a Level 7 soldier! Looking at the horrifying zombie in front of his eyes, Da Fei was shocked and kicked into the trigger! ¡ªZing! Ballista arrows flew out! Boom!!! -39! The Ballista arrows penetrated the Boss'' chest and knocked it all the way back! Da Fei''s eyes narrowed in surprise! His Ballista should not have been able to cause such high damage! Chapter 19:Learning the Study of War Machines If the player''s hero had some troops and chose to use the Ballista, he could assign his subordinates to fire on his behalf. The damage from the Ballista would still count as the hero''s. However, since Da Fei had no soldiers, he had to operate this himself. It felt like driving a tank. Furthermore, this was a Master-level Ballista. 30 Defense and 600 Health. This really felt like a tank! Unfortunately, Da Fei''s "tank" was barely functional, as it only had less than half of its maximum health! If he lost the Ballista, Da Fei would definitely be screwed. Hence, Da Fei had no time to think. Once the Zombie was forced back, Da Fei hurriedly reloaded for the third time! Just then, the Zombie slowly stood up in the distance. He curled his body again! What the heck! He still can jump! How can I fight him?! What kind of Zombie is it?! Why is it like a leapfrog? Da Fei was completely stunned as he watched the approaching Zombie! ¡ªBoom! The Ballista was hit again! -37!!! The Ballista survived! The damage was not as high this time! It still had 5 HP left! The unexpected event made Da Fei overjoyed. He did not hesitate at all¡ªfire! ¡ªBoom!!! The arrow went straight through the Zombie''s chest! However, it did not fly off again! Da Fei''s eyes widened. The Ballista''s damage doubled again! Could this Zombie''s attacks be self-destructive? The further he jumped, the higher the damage, but the more he jumped, the more injured he would become? There was no time for Da Fei to gather information now during this intense battle. Even the Sea Anemone King knew how to do the Catapult Attack, why would the Zombie not? Da Fei instantly stopped the reloading process. Instead, he stabbed at the Zombie with his own pike! This was because the Attack Speed of the Ballista was 5, whereas the Zombie''s Attack Speed was 6. There was no way the Ballista could land the first strike in the next round! Hence, he went with close quarter combat instead! First strike¡ª"-16!" Da Fei stared at his base damage of 4-7. In reality, his damage should only be 3-6, as the enchanted toxins were ineffective against undead monsters. He was completely shocked! Indeed, this was the side effect of the Zombie''s Catapult Attack. Da Fei struck again without hesitation! At the same time, the Zombie waved its claws! Although Pikemen had 10 Speed, much higher than Zombie''s 6, he could not land two strikes in a row before the Zombie retaliated. It doesn''t matter. Pikemen''s advantage lies in our long-range weapon attacks. I can hit him, but he can''t hit me. Hence, the Zombie''s target must be the Ballista! ¡ªBoom!!! -5! The Ballista collapsed! At the same time, Da Fei took off another 16 HP from the Zombie! Now that the tank was gone, the main battle was about to start! Da Fei struck again while the Zombie moved towards him. As the Zombie could not reach Da Fei yet, he chose to rush forward! "-16!" That was Da Fei''s final cheap shot! By now, Da Fei had taken off 155 HP from this BOSS! He used up all his tricks. Now, he had to trade blow for blow! Judging by the BOSS'' fight against Raging Sea of Blood last night, he did 15 damage per hit. Da Fei''s 32 HP could thus only last two hits. Since Da Fei had an Attack Speed of 10, he could unleash three strikes before the Zombie landed his second hit! This was the true difference that Attack Speed made. If it was just one strike, both sides could each get one hit off, just in a different sequence. However, once the rounds added up, the difference would be more significant too! This was Da Fei''s final advantage! If Da Fei could not kill this BOSS within the next three strikes, he would have nothing else to say. The outcome would be decided within three moves! "-16!" That was Da Fei''s first hit! "-20!" The Zombie returned the favor! Da Fei only had 12 HP remaining. "-16!" After absorbing the hit, Da Fei''s second strike landed! Then, it was the final strike that would determine the outcome of the fight¡ªDa Fei closed his eyes in anticipation! ¡ª"-13!" A flash of golden light descended from the sky! Da Fei opened his eyes excitedly once he heard the System Message notification! ¡ªSystem Message: You have defeated the Swift Zombie. You received 6,000 EXP! You received item, "Study of the War Machines Skill Book". You received item, "War Machine Parts Storage Pack". You received item, "Artillery Chief Grint''s Voyage Diary (Mission Item)". You received item, "Cargo Door Key". ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 8! You received 1 Strategy Attribute point, 1 Skill Point, Health +2, Command Power +1. ¡ªSystem Message: You improved your information collected about the Swift Zombie! ¡ªSystem Message: Your progress in "Lonely Hero 10 Straight Wins" improved to 2/10. ¡­ Ha! Wahaha! Da Fei laughed excitedly! I won! I won! So the Skill Book was on him! He kindly gave me a complimentary Storage Pack! He also has the key! I''ve been waiting for so long. Let''s check out this Artillery Chief''s attributes! ¡ªSwift Zombie: Small Undead troops leader. Attack: 10, Defense: 2, Base Damage: 10-20, Health: 200, Attack Speed: 6, Movement Speed: 4, Command Value: ?, EXP: 6,000, Special Skill: Catapult Attack. As expected, I knew it was the Catapult Attack! I''m omniscient! Wahahaha, I knew that I''m an expert. There''s a reason why I succeed! I''m so amazing! However, why does this type of soldier possess such a weird balance of Attack and Defense attributes? They don''t even have the normal Defense Skill and Plague Special Skill like normal Zombies? Their attack range varies so much between a Level 4 and Level 6 soldier. This is so strange?! Forget it, you never know what''s going on with these BOSS units. Anyways, good thing I won! This information should sell for quite a bit. Da Fei sighed a long breath of relief! This life. When you''re unlucky, it pours when it rains. When you''re fortunate, good things happen continuously. From one victory to the next, my luck is about to change for the better! After thinking about his life, Da Fei calmed himself down and inspected his rewards. Of course, he started off with the golden Skill Book on the Study of War Machines. I can be sure that this was the toughest Skill Book to acquire in this entire world! Look at how easily other ordinary players learned such skills! They could just head to a machinery workshop in a big city and pay their fees. Who else risks their lives to challenge a BOSS like me? Hence, I have to learn this to pay homage to my efforts! Luckily I have two Skill Points now. I''ll spend one on the main skill, War Machine, and the other on the sub-skill, Master of Ballista. Da Fei opened the book and saw a golden flash! ¡ªSystem Message: You learned Elementary Study of War Machines. Your Ballista, Siege Machine, and Medical Tent Durability and Effects have improved. You are able to repair damaged War Machines. Elementary Study of War Machines Ballista attributes: Attack: 10, Defense: 10, Base Damage: 2-3 (Total Damage = Base Damage * Total Hero attributes), Health: 200, Attack Speed: 5, Movement Speed: 1, Special Skill: Knock Back, Puncture. ¡ªMaster of Ballista: Fire two consecutive arrows with the Ballista. I can fire two shots consecutively with the Ballista now! From now on, I''m part of the mechanical-style group! With the Ballista and the War Machines, missions like "Lonely Hero 10 Straight Wins" will be a piece of cake! Wahahaha! Then, he looked at the equipment obtained. ¡ªWar Machine Parts Storage Pack: Portable storage pack that allows players to bring War Machine parts. This was self-explanatory. The mechanical-style players all had to carry one. The System would give them out for free once you completed missions at the Machinery Workshops. These were closely related to War Machines. War Machines moved extremely slowly. Furthermore, as they were overly huge in size, they could not march across certain landscapes. Hence, the solution was to disassemble them into parts and then re-assemble them when fighting in wars. In other words, players had to spend ten minutes for assembly and ten minutes for stripping every battle, at least twenty minutes in total. In this game, a day worth of gameplay was 2.4 hours in real-time! How many battles could people fight in a day then? Was it troublesome! Of course! However, this was the price to pay for greatness! Players just had to think about how real wars were like in ancient times to feel less troublesome! After all, the Ottoman Navy even stripped entire warships into parts and transported them from the Mediterranean Sea to the Red Sea across an entire dessert. There was no such thing as Storage Packs back then! However, these books, packs, and ballistas can all be easily obtained by normal mechanical-style players in their starter missions. I had to put in so much effort to kill this BOSS. Yet, this is all I got in return? Isn''t that too unfair? Perhaps, there are secrets hidden on this key? Is this a key to a treasury? Or, are there any secrets in this Voyage Diary? Let''s check out the diary first. Maybe I''ll get another Epic mission? Maybe I''ll get a God-level Skill? That may be better for me. Epic missions are too troublesome. I just want to be a merchant and earn some money peacefully. I seriously don''t want to bother with those weird Epic missions. However, there''s nothing I can do if these missions just happen to find me! Is he worried about his wife or his daughter? Hehe! After his previous experience with the seafarer''s journal, Da Fei carefully flipped this diary to the first page for inspection. ¡ªJanuary 1st, Year 150. Today is a glorious and holy day. Today, our St. Anthony will officially set sail! Under the order of the Emperor, I have been tasked to become the Artillery Chief of St. Anthony because of my excellent track record. The safety of the entire ship depends on me. I will not fail my Emperor! From today onwards, I will record all the details about our grand journey every day! ¡ªJanuary 2nd, Year 150. Sunny. Our ship is sailing safely on the sea. The farewell speech from the emperor motivated me significantly yesterday. I will not be careless just because we are sailing through a safe area. I have gathered my artillery soldiers for the first round of training! ¡ªJanuary 3rd, Year 150. Sunny. Training! ¡ªJanuary 4th, Year 150. Sunny. Training! ¡ªJanuary 5th, Year 150. Sunny. Training! ¡ªJanuary 6th, Year 150. No signs of any enemies today. Eh? No training? ¡­ ¡ªFebruary 1st, Year 150. Sunny. Nothing. ¡ªFebruary 2nd, Year 150. Sunny. Nothing. ¡ªFebruary 3rd, Year 150. Sunny. Nothing. ¡ªFebruary 6th, Year 150. Sunny. Boring. What the heck! What happened to recording the details every day? Do you know that this is boring too?! Why couldn''t you record something interesting? Where''s the God-level skill? Continue! Chapter 20:Phantom Ballista in the Voyage Diary As Da Fei continued to flip through the diary, he finally made a discovery. ¡ªFebruary 8th, Year 150. Cloudy. We''ve been sailing for two months now, but we''ve yet to see a single pirate. It''s made people like us living below the deck insane! Our sailing speed is too fast, so we can''t even fish for fun. Life is so boring. Roberts suggested we should play cards. I thought about it, there were no rules against it. Since that''s the case, let''s just play for fun. The captain and his chiefs won''t come down here for inspection. It''s way too smelly and stuffy for them. Anyways, even if they do come down, the sound of their boots will warn us. ¡ªFebruary 9th, Year 150. Sunny. Roberts owes me 14 gold coins. Eric owes me 10. ¡ªFebruary 10th, Year 150. Sunny. Roberts won today, but he still owes me 4 gold coins. Eric lost against. He owes me 15 in total now. ¡ªFebruary 10th, Year 150. Cloudy. Bastard! Eric was on a roll today. I owe him 5 gold coins now! What the heck! You finally got back to the good habit of writing in your diary. However, can you just try to be less boring? What about your wife? Your daughter? Let me continue! ¡ªFebruary 14th, Year 150. As we were playing cards today, someone came down from above! It was Knight Markal! He greeted us in a friendly manner and even gave us some fun magic toys to relieve our boredom! I didn''t expect such a respected mage like Knight Markal to come to our stinky and stuffy place. He was friendly too! His attitude gained all our respect! Da Fei was instantly excited! Markal! Continue! Okay, it was a bunch of gambling records again. Skip! ¡ªMarch 16th, Year 150. Heavy storm! At 9 PM, the lookout alarm was sounded! We encountered pirates! I was so excited! It was finally my time to shine! All the gunners excitedly got into our positions! However, at 11 PM, our ship pulled away from the pirates. We were excited for nothing! Gambling records. Skip. ¡ªApril 2nd, Year 150. Sunny. At 10 PM, we encountered pirates. Then, we pulled away from the pirates. I was thinking, if our ship is so fast, and all our sailors, chiefs, and captain are the elites from the Empire, when we gunners will ever be needed? ¡ªApril 11th, Year 150. Rain! Hello, pirates! Goodbye, pirates! ¡ªApril 17th, Year 150. Rain! The continuous rainy season caused rheumatism in plenty of us on board. Our knees hurt whenever we walk. This feeling sucks. ¡ªApril 18th, Year 150. Rain. Knight Markal came to our cabin again. He sent us a barrel of wine to cure our rheumatism. The color was strange and it tasted bitter, but it was indeed amazingly effective! Our legs were healed after just one cup! Furthermore, they were filled with strength! Knight Markal deserves all our respect! Legs filled with energy? Was that used to change them into jumping zombies? Gambling records. Skip! Oh, some content here! This page is filled with words! ¡ªJune 3rd, Year 150. Sunny! The day is finally here. We entered the Naga territory. Clashes were inevitable! After nearly half a year at sea, it was finally our turn! During the intense chase, I killed 6 Nagas. Roberts got 4. Eric killed 3. Robin killed 5. Joey got 5. Hawk got 3. Unfortunately, the Naga leader escaped while riding a heavily injured sea dragon! If our Ballista range was a little further and a little more powerful, we could''ve gotten a huge haul by shooting down that sea dragon. I would''ve been awarded greatly for it! I missed the only opportunity in over half a year to create some legacy. I was quite sad even during the award ceremony tonight. This battle exposed our fatal flaw about accuracy! We are used to fighting pirates, so our Ballistas'' targets are usually giant ships or floating sea monsters. We aren''t usually worried about missing our targets. However, there''s nothing we can do about those Naga warriors traveling at high speeds underwater. Firstly, our ship is constantly swaying back and forth. Secondly, the refraction of light in the water makes it difficult for us to aim. When fishermen fish with their spears, they always aim from an angle. That seems like a useful skill now. Unfortunately, I always looked down upon fishermen and never bothered to learn that. On the other hand, Nagas are naturally gifted at aiming that way. They can hide in the water and fire off bone arrows at us accurately. We just can''t fire back with the same accuracy. Furthermore, the water surface greatly reduces our arrows'' power. This is quite unbelievable! However, based on my calculations, this must be true. When arrows enter the water, they lose at least one-third to half their power! That equates to an armor worth 20 points for our enemies! Water is so gentle, so how does it provide such a strong protective effect? I think this can only be explained by the theory of how little rocks can skip on the water surface without falling in. How do I solve this problem? I''m too tired today. I should gather everyone to discuss this tomorrow. ¡­ Da Fei was excited! Interesting! Ballistas'' accuracy was indeed an issue. After Juan discovered the Pirate King''s unique skill, he started researching into God-level skills. This artillery chief must have started his own research too! The secrets are indeed hidden in this diary! Da Fei hurriedly flipped to the next page! ¡ªJune 4th, Year 150. To celebrate our achievements yesterday, let''s play some bigger hands today¡­ F**k you! Where''s your research?! Da Fei flipped like a madman! ¡ªAugust 9th, Year 150. Fog! At 9 PM, the entire sea was covered in darkness and fog. We were attacked by an unknown sea creature, yet we were completely helpless! I could only launch counter-attacks blindly based on the sound of the waves. Just then, an intense gust of wind chased the fog away. It was Knight Markal''s amazing magic! We finally saw a huge, island-sized monster chasing us as it spat out fog continuously! Oh god, I''ve never seen such a huge monster! Even worse, we can''t fire at anything directly behind our ship. That''s our blind spot! Just then, a huge fireball fell from the sky and warded off the monster. It was Knight Markal''s amazing magic again! So powerful! I feel like I have to ask him to teach me something! Markal appeared again! This gambler finally came to his senses. Da Fei continued to flip through the pages. ¡ªAugust 10th, Year 150. Sunny. I visited the much respected Knight Markal nervously. He was very friendly as he hosted me in his study. Although Knight Markal was always nice to us, his friendliness made me especially excited after I witnessed how powerful he is. There were many books in Knight Markal''s study. His tables were full of jars and bottles. What a mysterious and intelligent scholar! I asked him about the sea monster yesterday. Knight Markal said that it might be the legendary fog-creating sea monster, Leviathan. However, he was not too sure. Oh my god. If that really was Leviathan, then Knight Markal would be the powerful person who defeated Leviathan¡­ Da Fei was completely stunned! Leviathan! Level 8 Sea Creature published on the official site. Unknown attributes. An existence that was more powerful than Angels, Demons, Giant Dragons, and all other Level 7 soldiers! In the legends, God took seven days to create this earth. In the first six days, God created all the physical things and the laws of time and space. On the seventh day, he created two legendary monsters. The male was named Behemoth, the lord of the land. The female was named Leviathan, the lord of the sea! This Markal could defeat Leviathan. How powerful must he be then? Am I going up against such a dominant and strong person, then? Oh right, Markal''s study? Usually, the high-ranking ones onboard will live near the upper levels of the ship. In other words, the room that Raging Sea of Blood was in while fighting the BOSS was the study? The study belongs to such a powerful mage who can defeat Leviathan, will the reward really just be a simple Magic Book? Now that I can use the Ballista, it won''t be an issue for me to fight that Evil Spirit. However, that huge Ballista really can''t be operated in such a tiny space! That''s an issue. Alright, the original plan still stands. I''ll ambush him from the back. It''s been half a day since I last heard footsteps on top. If he''s not worried as a Level 5, I won''t be too as a Level 8. Then, let''s continue with this diary¡ª ¡­ Of course, the Knight Markal''s time is precious. I asked him for any suggestions on how to improve the accuracy of our Ballistas. Markal fell into deep thought. Then, he told me that he''ll come to me with a solution once he figures it out. Before I left, he gave me a very expensive bottle of wine as a gift. I''m so excited! ¡­ As expected! Can''t expect this gambler to come up with any scientific research. The mage is more reliable. After all, even the seafarer''s God-level skill was thought of by Markal. Continue. ¡ªJanuary 17th, Year 151. Sunny. Today was exciting. Knight Markal came again. Not only did he bring us good wine, but he also brought the solution to the inaccuracy of our Ballistas! I didn''t expect him to take it so seriously! After such a long time, I thought he would have forgotten it! This was a shocking plan! He brought the designs of a completely new magic Ballista. The main body must be made out of high-grade wood used to create magic staffs. The metal crossbow arms and the protective armor must be replaced with mithril alloy so that it can conduct the magical powers. Each Ballista will be engraved with 12 rechargeable magic stones and 12 attached magic formations. Even the arrows must be enchanted! Such an expensive and shocking Ballista will allow even an ordinary, non-trained gunner to fire without any obstacles. He will be able to ignore the mystical fog as he aims! Furthermore, the magical Ballista will have auto-aim enabled because of the magic formations. It will seek out enemies by itself! Even creatures hiding in alternate dimensions will not be able to avoid the shots! Leviathan, the Nagas, the swaying of the ship, none of those will be an issue for this Ballista! This existence will be like the Phantom Godly Bow from the Elf Kingdom. Hence, Sir Knight called it the Phantom Ballista! This was a genius, magical, and grand creation! Unfortunately, we had neither the equipment nor the material needed for the execution of this plan. However, I''m determined to follow Knight Markal and complete his grand creation once we finish this expedition! ¡­ ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained information about the new Ballista, "Phantom Ballista"! ¡ªNovice Guide: After obtaining information about a weapon, the player will trigger the plot about the weapon. The player can choose to research and develop the weapon himself. He can also learn about the said weapon from NPCs in order to obtain it. Finally! This BOSS was different as he gave me information about a new kind of Ballista! My "number one difficulty in the world to obtain" Skill Book is finally worth it. Although the target seems distant, it''s still better than nothing. Da Fei had flipped the book for a long time. Hence, he went straight to the end. ¡ªApril 19th, Year 156. A storm was here! ¡ªApril 20th, Year 156. An unknown fleet appeared in the storm. The diary ended here. There was an uncompleted entry. Did he die? Da Fei sighed. This poor guy probably had no wives and daughters. Even sadder, he probably didn''t even know how he died, as he had no time to pen down any last words. He still revered Markal in all his entries¡­ Hang on. Since this Phantom Ballista was designed by Markal, he must be a relevant NPC for this mission. What will happen if I give this diary to Markal? He must be happy, right? After all, this entire diary was about how amazing and upright he was. It''s proof about Markal''s honorable and accomplished journey. This will be evidence that gets rid of any suspicions around him being the only survivor! If he''s happy about receiving this, maybe he''ll give me the Phantom Ballista as a gift? However, I already accepted the Epic Mission from the seafarer to fight against Markal. Will it be safe to meet Markal with this mission on hand? Forget it, that''s not my concern right now. I''ll just check out the next cabin after fixing my Ballista. Chapter 21:Encountering Six BOSSes Raging Sea of Blood ate as he watched the television for the 24-hour live stream of the Hero News. Raging Sea of Blood wanted to know how big of a commotion he caused in the China server after revealing his skills in the Hall of Destiny. He searched for the Admiral, and the recording of the 12 PM news popped up. He sat up and watched with interest. This Hero News was indeed quite responsive. Host: "Hello, everyone. According to the latest news, a rare player with the Admiral ability has emerged from our China server. This player has caused quite a commotion in the Hall of Destiny. We have contacted the captain of the China Star Team, Mr. Jiang Dawei. Let''s welcome him to express his thoughts on this account. Captain Jiang, hello!" "Hello, host!" "Please let us know what you think about this Admiral." Captain Jiang: "A huge area of the Hero Genesis world is covered in ocean. Furthermore, there are many islands and subcontinents lying around. Most importantly, the Old World and the New World are connected by portals in the ocean. Hence, naval battle type heroes possess strong strategic value. In fact, sailing is one of the main selling points of this game. Currently, over 100,000 players in the China Server alone have chosen to become shipping merchants. As more and more players shift their attention to the ocean, naval battle type heroes will see a continued rise in their value." Host: "Then, Captain Jiang, how much do you estimate this hero to be worth?" Captain Jiang smiled and said, "We just worry about battles, not about money. If I have to give a comparison, I think, he might be able to win against that Mobile Master in the Japan server." The Host smiled as well. "In other words, China Star Team is willing to pay ten million US dollars to purchase this account?" Captain Jiang: "About that, our team is currently still focused on fighting for resources on the land. Regardless, that''s our boss''s decision. Anyways, I have to congratulate this player now. If he''s interested in joining our China Star Team, we will surely welcome him." Raging Sea of Blood laughed! "Star Team? Does he really think that he represents the national team or something? Laughable! Once I''m done with this Novice Trial, I''ll get started on building my own Blood Sea Studio. I will be the One Piece in the China Server! By then, I''ll bring all those Goddess gamers here and let my brothers have some fun together! Wahahaha!" Host: "Thank you for the response, Captain Jiang. Now that the game has been open to the public for three and a half days, let''s shift our attention to the current rankings around the world. The player in the first place is still the female player from France, Natasa. She''s a Level 24 Vampire Princess. She''s far ahead of the player in second place from China Star Team, Little Pig Run Fast. He''s a Level 22 Griffon Breeder. The player in third place, Baplov from Russia''s Angel Team, is a Siege Technician at Level 22. As for the Swedish player Vurtne with the highest valuation of his hero, Death Lord, he''s only at Level 20 right now. He''s currently ranked outside of the top 100,000 on our list. Captain Jiang, what do you think about these rankings?" Captain Jiang smiled. "Natasa, right? She spawned as a Level 4 Undead Vampire. That early-game advantage is way too significant. She can take on challenges by herself without needing any troops. In comparison, Little Pig Run Fast from our team is a Griffon Breeder. Although he has a Level 4 Griffon by his side from the start, a Griffon''s combat abilities and stamina cannot be compared with that of a Vampire who can regenerate just by sucking blood." Host: "A Level 4 Griffon cannot defeat a Vampire, but this game is all about cooperation between different troops. As compared to the slower moving Undead troops, a Vampire can appear out of place, as it won''t have any backup available if it chooses to make its way deep into enemy troops. However, Griffons can attack from the air, so they do not share this concern. They can easily attack the opponent''s supporting magic troops before making a clean exit. That''s an advantage the Vampires do not possess." Captain Jiang: "Indeed. As for the Russian Siege Technician player, Baplov, he''s only in third place because of the excruciatingly long time that the ballistas require for movement and assembly. However, since the transportation of ballistas is so troublesome, he probably picks and chooses his battles very well. The BOSSes that he kill will certainly have the best equipment and gear. Hence, his combat prowess must be the best in the world. After all, ballistas have such an advantage in early-game battles against monsters. His ability gives him an additional 1 Attack and 1 Defense point every two levels. Hence, he has built a sizable lead over normal ballista players since Level 10. Host: "What about Vurtne''s Death Lord?" Captain Jiang said seriously, "The Death Lord''s talent is insanely powerful. Half of the Undead troops that he encounters in the wild will join him unconditionally. Regardless of whether they are Level 7 Bone Dragons or Level 1 Skeletons. If we have such an account, we will be thinking about raising the Undeads'' Defense Skills and the Hero''s Command Power. After that, the player should complete missions to obtain official ranks within the Undead Empire so that he can build his own city and gain even more Command Power. The troops that he can''t carry on him will be sent to the city for accumulation. After all, the stat that matters the most to him should be the number of troops he can lead. His level is unimportant. Hence, it''s expected for him to be ranked lowly. However, his actual prowess should not be underestimated." Host: "I see. Seems like our China server will be facing a lot of pressure¡­" Captain Jiang: "Indeed. Hence, the only things that we can do are to train hard, divide the labor clearly, and develop quickly¡­" ¡­ After witnessing the other top players'' developments, Raging Sea of Blood could no longer contain his excitement as a Godly Hero himself. He hurriedly swallowed his steak and logged in again. He would get to Level 10 tonight! Get the Magic Book! Get the wrecked ship! ¡­ In the artillery cabin of the wrecked ship, Da Fei finally fixed his damaged ballista after rummaging through the remaining ballistas for spare parts. This was one of the troublesome issues of being a mechanical-style player. Players always had to carry spare parts on them, and spare parts could only be purchased. In other words, not every player could afford to play this style. After Da Fei opened the gate within the cabin key he just obtained, he caught a whiff of foul, rotting smell. This was the entrance to the staircase leading to the lower level cabins. Usually, large sailing ships often had three levels of cabins below deck. Since the huge artillery cabin was on this level, the level below must be the cabin for storage of items that stabilized the ship. Otherwise, if the ship''s center of gravity was too high, it would capsize easily in a storm. Usually, only highly valuable items would be locked behind a metal gate! Treasures? Here I come! Da Fei activated his Hidden Movement and went downstairs. He first peeked out from the staircase. The dimly lit cabin was narrow and empty. There were no signs of even normal wooden crates and barrels, let alone treasures! This is bullshit! Da Fei hugged the cabin wall and walked forward. Then, he saw dead bodies sprawled out across the entire floor! He had no idea how so many bodies got here, and there was nothing much he could say about the situation. There was no other way to go about this than to clear the monsters! Da Fei quickly retreated to the staircase. The size of this place fitted a ballista perfectly. Furthermore, he was surrounded by walls on all the other three sides, so he did not have to worry about any monsters flanking him. This landscape was designed for players to shoot at the monsters! Da Fei quietly took out the parts from his storage pack and assembled the ballista there. After ten minutes, he finished the assembly and loaded two arrows into the ballista. Then, he took out the Novice Tool Bag provided for free by the System and whipped out the torch. After he lit it up, the entire cabin turned bright. This was how Raging Sea of Blood attracted the monsters last night. They were moving! All the dead bodies slowly got up, and there were five or six larger monsters amongst the crowd. Da Fei''s heart jumped. Are they BOSSes? Impossible! How can there be so many BOSSes at once?! They must be slightly stronger, mutated zombies. I need to remain calm! Da Fei''s Elementary Study of War Machine Ballista attributes were: Attack: 10, Defense: 10, Base Damage: 2-3 (Total Damage = Base Damage * Total Hero attributes), Health: 200, Attack Speed: 5, Movement Speed: 1, Special Skill: Knock Back, Puncture. Da Fei was on Level 8 and possessed 7 total attribute points. Hence, the total damage for ballistas operated by him was 14-21. The zombies'' 2 points of Defense would reduce his Attack attribute to 8 points. For each Attack point, his damage increased by 5% or 40% in total. That meant his damage was 19-29. However, the zombies'' Intermediate Defense Skill reduced their damage taken by 20%. Therefore, the final damage inflicted by the ballista on each zombie per shot was 15-23! Since the Master of Ballista skill allowed him to fire two shots consecutively, he could easily kill a zombie with 17 HP! The ballista had 200 HP and 10 Defense, or a Level 7 soldier''s HP and a Level 4 soldier''s Defense. So what if there was a crowd of zombies? The group of zombies moved slowly toward Da Fei. He aimed at the most densely populated spot¡ªFire! ¡ªBoom! Boom! After two consecutive explosive sounds, the arrows were launched! ¡ª"-17" "-3" "-17" "-6" Two zombies dropped to the floor, yet the arrows were not stopped as he had the Puncture skill. The two zombies behind were damaged for 3 points and 6 points respectively! Furthermore, his shots had the Knock Back effect as well! This feels so good! Continue! Da Fei hurriedly reloaded and paid close attention to the larger zombies at the same time. It seemed like they were moving very slowly and did not exhibit any signs that they were going to jump. Good! After his reload, he continued¡ª"-14" "-7" "-11" "-10"! The zombies in front fell down again and the arrows that punctured them had the Knock Back effect again on the zombies behind. This was super effective on zombies who already only had a pathetic Movement Speed of 4 points! ¡ªSystem Message: You collected incomplete information on Assault Zombies! I got big ones! If you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. Since I have ample time while reloading, let me check this out! Da Fei speedily pulled out the Information Bar. ¡ªAssault Zombie. Type: Small-sized Undead Troops Leader Unit. Attack: ? Defense: 2 Health Points: ? Damage: ? Attack Speed: ? Movement Speed: 4 Special Skill: Heavy Weaponry, Intermediate Defense Skill, ? ¡­ Da Fei was so stunned that his pupils contracted! Troops leader! What the heck, no way?! Really a BOSS?! A heavy weapon wielder as well! Da Fei looked up and saw the shining ax in the BOSS''s hand! What were heavy weapons? For instance, Da Fei''s Special Skill as a Pikeman was the long reach with his weapon. In other words, he could hit others while they could not reach him. As for heavy weapons like axes and hammers, their Special Skill effect would boost their damage inflicted against large creatures, city gates, and War Machines. When they faced off against ballistas, their damage would double! In other words, these six BOSSes were made to suppress the ballista! Da Fei was instantly stunned! If this BOSS has 200 HP like the zombie upstairs, maybe I can still take one of them. Two will already be impossible, let alone six! How can the System create a trial impossible to beat for a novice?! Are Godly Heroes supposed to defeat six BOSSes by themselves? Isn''t that bullshit? Unless these BOSSes don''t have that much HP?! However, as troops leaders, there''s no way their HP will be so low. Even if they only have 100 HP each, I still can''t fight all six of them! Unless their damage isn''t that high?! However, as troops leaders, they should possess the same damage attributes as Level 5 or 6 soldiers, at the very least. With their doubled damage, I''ll still lose! Must I train until the Master-level so that my ballista has 600 HP before I can fight them? But I have no way out now! Even if I can escape, my ballista will be stuck here! Once my ballista is ruined, I have no spare parts to fix it! If I have no ballista left, how am I supposed to survive later on?! Am I not screwed? Oh right, even if I level up to the Master level, it''s pointless! My ballista won''t have enough spare parts for the upgrade, so it''ll still hold only 200/600 HP. There''s no way to fill up the HP! It won''t be able to survive, right? Can I outsmart them? Da Fei was drenched in a cold sweat as he watched the slow-moving zombies approach him. He desperately tried to recall all kinds of God-tier clutch plays in the history of gaming! They all relied on utilizing the landscape, getting into position, kiting, or guerrilla warfare! Kiting and guerrilla warfare was impossible here. The landscape was just like that. As for positioning? That''s right. Positioning! Wahahaha! I see! Da Fei suddenly laughed at the sky and fired two shots continuously at one of the BOSSes without hesitation. "-20!" "-22!" Chapter 22:Raging Sea of Bloods Ambush Sometimes, seemingly difficult problems could be solved with simple solutions! Da Fei''s ballista was surrounded by walls on three sides. This was positioning! However, the positioning was not perfect, as enemies could still attack him from the front. Hence, he needed to form a wall in front of him as well. Normal zombies were the best meat wall! Normal zombies had 1 Attack point and 1-2 Damage per hit. How much damage could they inflict on a ballista with 10 Defense points? An almost 10-point difference between the Attack and Defense meant that the effective damage would only be around 2/3 of the base value. In other words, they would only do 0.6-1 damage per hit! That was completely negligible when compared to the damage of the BOSSes! As long as I let five small zombies crowd in front of the ballista, the BOSSes behind won''t be able to approach. They can only stare at me! How do I keep the BOSSes back? The Knock Back effect from the ballista! Once the BOSSes are knocked back, the small zombies will come forward to fill in the gap. Since the BOSSes are so tall and huge, the ballista can shoot over the small zombies and still hit them in the head! Hence, Da Fei laughed loudly and collected his headshots on the BOSSes. In the meantime, five small zombies did their jobs and crowded in front of the ballista as they waved their clumsy claws to inflict damage on the ballista. It''s just a drizzle now! ¡ªBoom! Finally, a BOSS''s head was completely blown off. ¡ªSystem Message: You killed an Assault Zombie! You obtained 4,000 EXP! You obtained item, "Key to crew cabin". You obtained item, "Firefighting Tool Axe"! ¡ªSystem Message: You improved your information collected about the Assault Zombie! ¡ªSystem Message: Your progress in "Lonely Hero 10 Straight Wins" improved to 3/10. Haha! Wahahaha! I''m a pro! Da Fei was overjoyed and checked the information on his Information Bar. The other attributes were still question marks, but the HP attribute was available now, 200 HP! What the heck! So much HP yet they still have the Intermediate Defense Skill. I need five to six shots just to kill one. Are you trying to overwork me to death? Come on then, try your best! You little scums delivering free EXP, free Achievement, and free room keys! Wahahaha! On the deck, it was a sunny day. The skies and sea were a beautiful blue, and Raging Sea of Blood was happily slaughtering zombies. Suddenly, he heard rumblings from within the ship itself. Raging Sea of Blood frowned. What was that? The waves? After he killed a few more zombies, Raging Sea of Blood felt like something was off! There''s no way that''s the sound of the waves, right? Raging Sea of Blood put his ears to the floor of the deck and listened carefully. The sounds grew louder now! Furthermore, there was a rhythm to the sounds! Raging Sea of Blood was completely stunned! What''s that? This sounds like the sound of the shots taken by the currently trending playstyle, the ballista-style players! Raging Sea of Blood hurriedly ran to the starboard and looked down. Nothing. He ran to the port and looked down again. Nothing! He jumped into the water and placed his ear against the body of the ship. The sounds were even clearer now! That''s right, these are the sounds produced by a ballista! I hesitated between the Ballista Skill and the Attack Skill for so long when I was creating this account back then! What was going on? Is an NPC monster shooting? Impossible! Player! Must be a player! Can it be that random player Da Fei? Or did the System assign new players here when I was distracted? Raging Sea of Blood hurriedly pulled out the game''s inquiry system to search for player information! ¡ªSystem Message: Dear respected player! It costs 10 credits to perform each search on player information! You have an insufficient credit balance! "F**k you!!! Even this cost credits. You''re way too greedy!" 10 credits cost 10 dollars. Money was not an issue to Raging Sea of Blood. However, the top-up process was way too troublesome! Raging Sea of Blood only topped up 1,000 credits per machine for the lottery. After that, he ran out of credits. Wasn''t it frustrating that he had to use his online banking just for 10 credits? Fine! Raging Sea of Blood gritted his teeth and topped up 10,000 credits. Then, he searched for the player "Da Fei". ¡ªSearch Result: Da Fei. Human training novice. Level 9. Online. Level 9!!! Raging Sea of Blood could not believe his own eyes! I thought he logged off because he couldn''t survive! How did such a weak Pikeman like him get to this stage? I spawned as a Level 3 Shield Defender, and I have not stopped killing monsters since then. After a whole day, I''m only at Level 6! Yet, he''s at Level 9?! Did he sneak into my turf and get a ballista to level up so fast? This feels like my girl is getting f**ked by someone else! I can''t tolerate this! "F**k you!" Raging Sea of Blood rushed into the cabins below! So what if he''s a Level 9 Pikeman? That meant at most 26 HP. I''ll still kill you with two strikes! I''ll camp his spawn point and keep killing him until he''s back to Level 0! ¡­ The second level below deck of the wrecked ship. As Da Fei killed the third zombie BOSS with a headshot, a ray of golden light covered his body. Level 9! At this moment, Da Fei had taken 16 shots, and the five zombies in front of him had landed 18 hits on the ballista. They already took off 80 HP from the ballista. By the time he got rid of the remaining 3 BOSSes, the ballista would probably only have a few dozen HP left. That meant he could not fight any more major battles after this. Hence, he had to hurry and end it! Da Fei immediately took out the War Machine Skill Book. A flash of golden light appeared. ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Intermediate Study of the War Machine Skill! ¡ªSystem Message: Your ballista gained +5 Attack, +5 Defense, +1 Base Damage, HP Limit +100. Currently, the ballista attributes under the Intermediate Study of the War Machines Skill were: Attack: 15, Defense: 15, Base Damage: 3-4 (Total Damage = Base Damage * Total Hero attributes), Health: 120/300, Attack Speed: 5, Movement Speed: 1, Special Skill: Knock Back, Puncture. Da Fei had 8 attribute points in total. Hence, the Total Damage would be 24-32. Since the Ballista''s 15 Attack points and the BOSSes'' 2 Defense points had a gap of 13 points, it meant that his damage inflicted would increase by 65%. However, the zombies'' Intermediate Defense Skill reduced their damage taken by 20%. Therefore, the final damage inflicted by the ballista on each BOSS per shot was 31-43! This was worlds apart from the 15-23 damage per shot just now! The damage was almost doubled! The final conclusion: The BOSSes with 200 HP that took five to six shots to kill previously would only require three shots to kill now! Furthermore, now that the Ballista''s Defense improved by 5 points, each small zombie''s average damage against the ballista was less than 1 point! This was the Study of the War Machines, nicknamed "BOSS Killer"! Every upgrade to the skill would bring about substantial improvement! Da Fei felt all kinds of emotions. Why didn''t I choose this ballista as my starting skill?! However, if I really chose this, the examiners probably wouldn''t have assigned me here, right? Of course, these sentiments were just his thoughts. His actions did not stop for a moment. After taking care of these remaining BOSSes, I can level up to Level 10. Wahahahaha! All the free EXP for me! Godly Hero''s trial grounds. Amazing! After a while, Da Fei heard hurried footsteps from above. His heart skipped a beat! Raging Sea of Blood! F**k. You could''ve come earlier or later, yet you chose this moment! I''m in trouble! What should I do! Da Fei frowned as he stared at the remaining BOSS and the small zombies clawing at the ballista! That''s right! Raging Sea of Blood was here! As he rushed down to the first cabin, he realized that the BOSS who killed him last night was gone! However, the small zombies were still there. The trash in the cabin behind the BOSS gave him the answers! He could roughly figure out what happened! D¡ªa¡ªm¡ªn! The infuriated Raging Sea of Blood jumped down into the cabin on the second level below deck and looked right at Da Fei blocking the monsters at the entrance of the staircase! Raging Sea of Blood was so stunned that he stood completely still! Da Fei, who just finished reloading, turned around and smiled brightly. "Hey! Have you eaten?" Da Fei tried to communicate in a friendly manner with him. "Die!!!" After figuring out the situation, Raging Sea of Blood immediately drew his weapon. He did not give Da Fei any chance to waste his time with any more bullshit! What the heck! He harbors such hatred for me! It''s as if I murdered his father or took his crown! Fine, if there''s no way out, I won''t shy from a fight. I''ve played games for so long. Wins and losses are nothing to me! If I really waste time talking to him, my ballista will be destroyed! Da Fei was well-prepared and immediately struck with his pike! He could not lose the advantage of having a long-range weapon as a Pikeman! The pike struck like a poisonous dragon. Boom! "-5!" At the same time, Raging Sea of Blood was stopped dead in his tracks! Paralytic toxin! ¡ªSystem Message: You have purposely launched a hostile attack against a player from the same faction as you, Raging Sea of Blood. You will receive punishment in the form of losing reputation. Ah, what?! Are you serious?! I''m the victim here, alright?! The duel started. A comparison between the two sides'' attributes: Raging Sea of Blood, Level 6. Attack: 8, Defense: 8, Damage: 7-10, Health: 30, Attack Speed: 13. Master Attack Skill raises damage by 50%. (Raging Sea of Blood''s War Blade +3 Attack, +3 Damage. Equipment from spawn +8 Personal Defense) Da Fei, Level 9. Attack: 8, Defense: 3, Damage: 4-6, Health: 36, Attack Speed: 10. No Battle Skills. (Da Fei''s Broken Leather Armor +3 Personal Defense) So, Raging Sea of Blood could do 13-19 damage per hit on Da Fei. It would only take him two to three strikes to kill Da Fei. On the other hand, Da Fei''s 8 Attack points and Raging Sea of Blood''s 8 Defense points canceled each other out. He had no additional Battle Skills. Hence, his final damage was still 4-6. To kill Raging Sea of Blood with 30 HP, he needed at least five to eight strikes! The difference between their weapons and their skills caused a huge gap in the two sides'' combat prowess! Under normal circumstances, there was no way Da Fei could defeat Raging Sea of Blood. However, everything changed because of this heart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King and its paralytic toxin effect! Toxins usually carried negative special effects. Even though that special effect was not obvious when he fought against zombies, it would certainly show up against other players. Da Fei needed to rely heavily on this to turn the game around! Just then, Raging Sea of Blood stared in bewilderment at the System Message! ¡ªSystem Message: You have been hit with a paralytic toxin. Your movement is temporarily restricted. Attack -1, Defense -1, Attack Speed -1, Movement Speed -1, Maximum Damage -1. Effect remains until the end of this battle. All his attributes reduced by one point! This was like being hit with a weakened version of the Dark Curse! My movement has been restricted too! What did this random scum steal from me?! Da Fei was also stunned by the System Message! However, he did not hesitate and quickly continued his attacks! At the same time, Raging Sea of Blood regained his freedom of movement and continued rushing at Da Fei! Under normal circumstances, a Pikeman''s long weapon would give him the advantage of striking first. Then, when he drew back his pike, the opponent would reach him, and the battle would start. However, since that strike restricted Raging Sea of Blood''s movement, Da Fei managed to land a second strike before being hit! Hence, his long weapon gave him the advantage of two free strikes! ¡ª"-5!" ¡ªSystem Message: You have been hit with a paralytic toxin. Your movement is temporarily restricted. Attack -2, Defense -2, Attack Speed -2, Movement Speed -2, Maximum Damage -2. Effect remains until the end of this battle. I see! You can disrupt my attack and my movement, and the effect accumulates continuously just like the Plague Zombies'' Special Skill! However, my damage is so much higher than yours. Even if it''s reduced to its minimum base value, I can still kill you in three strikes! After thinking everything through, Raging Sea of Blood laughed coldly. "You''re dead!" Da Fei, who also did the calculations, replied coldly, "I have more HP!" "How will that help?!" Raging Sea of Blood struck again after recovering. His Attack Speed was faster than Da Fei''s. Hence, Da Fei could not interrupt his strike this time. -16!!! Terrifyingly high damage appeared on top of Da Fei''s head. Da Fei''s eyelids jumped from the shock while Raging Sea of Blood laughed wildly! Then, Da Fei landed his third blow. "-6!" ¡ªSystem Message: You have been hit with a paralytic toxin. Attack -3, Defense -3, Attack Speed -3, Movement Speed -3, Maximum Damage -3. Effect remains until the end of this battle. Raging Sea of Blood ignored the System Message and laughed. "Die!!!" Both of them had 10 Attack Speed now, and both struck at the same time! "-12", "-6" appeared above their respective heads. "Not dead yet?" Raging Sea of Blood had no idea that Da Fei completed a small achievement for 10 HP earlier. After the initial shock, he yelled angrily. "Take another strike!" Now that Da Fei only had 8 HP remaining, there was no way he could survive the next attack. Raging Sea of Blood also had 8 HP remaining! No matter what, it would take two strikes to kill him! Even though Da Fei had an advantage of 1 point in Attack Speed now, Raging Sea of Blood could still land his next strike before Da Fei landed two! There was no way he could win! Hence, the only thing that Da Fei could do now was to step on the trigger of the ballista that he had been preparing during the entire fight¡ª"Boom! Boom!" After two explosions, the final BOSS died from the two headshots. A flash of golden light covered Da Fei from above! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations, you have reached Level 10! You obtained 1 Strategy Attribute, 1 Skill Point, +2 Health Points, +1 Command Power, +1 Base Damage, +1 Tactical Position. I leveled up! Full HP! This is my final trump card! Wahahahahaha! Just then, Raging Sea of Blood''s attack landed on Da Fei and inflicted 11 damage as he stared in bewilderment! "Sorry!" Da Fei now had +1 Attack and confidently struck. "-8!" Raging Sea of Blood faded into a flash of white light! Chapter 23:Skill Book in the Crews Room ¡ªSystem Message: You have purposely launched a hostile attack against a player from the same faction as you, Raging Sea of Blood. You lost 60 Reputation points! You became a Red Name! ¡ªNovice Guide: Red Names can confess and repent in churches, donate to officials, or obtain more reputation to clear their names. Red Names with low Reputation points because of team-killing will find it difficult to enter cities. Please cherish your own reputation. ¡ªSystem Message: You have leveled up to Level 10. You are now able to change your occupation. Please proceed to a Skill Mentor to apply. Human players can change occupations to a Knight or a Priest. After you''ve changed your occupation, you will receive one Assignable attribute point and one System-assigned attribute point. The Knight occupation system will automatically assign Defense points and the Priest occupation system will automatically assign Knowledge points. ¡ªSystem Message: Your progress in "Lonely Hero 10 Straight Wins" improved to 8/10. ¡­ Da Fei had no time to read the huge influx of System Messages as he instantly adjusted his ballista to aim at the small zombies. The ballista only had 30 HP remaining after Raging Sea of Blood''s interruption. Despicable! Even worse, he made me a Red Name! Even though I prided myself on being a Red Name back in the day, things are different now, alright! I''m a professional player. I want to earn tons of money by being a model citizen and a merchant! Da Fei was conflicted as he looked at his heavily damaged ballista and the new Skill Point he just received. Should I upgrade my Study of the War Machines Skill? F**k. Forget it. What point is there in upgrading such a heavily damaged ballista? I''ll save some Skill Points and decide on what to do with them later. However, not everything was bad. The biggest takeaway was that he understood the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King''s paralytic toxin effects now. Reduce all attributes and restrict movement temporarily. This skill is indeed eerie and powerful! From the duel just now, this effect prevented one extra hit on me. He only got to strike four times. In other words, my damage taken was reduced by 25%! Furthermore, I got to land an extra strike on him. That''s an increase of 25% in damage inflicted! One simple enchantment has such amazing effects? Are there other restrictions? I can tell that sea anemone enchantments are ineffective against the Undead. Judging by how many tentacles the Poisonous Sea Anemones had, all of them will continuously attack the prey the moment it becomes paralyzed. Won''t the prey be tortured to death that way? In other words, you can''t even touch them at all? Doesn''t that make them invincible plant monsters in close combat? If that''s the case, isn''t a sea anemone Unit Resource Base unbelievably valuable? Haha! I got lucky! Da Fei was instantly cheered up. When the last zombie fell down, the ballista was only left with 8 HP! Da Fei immediately started stripping down his ballista. God knows if that asshole will come seek his revenge once he respawns? Wait! I can''t strip this yet! I''ll take ten minutes to strip the ballista, and he needs ten minutes to recover from his Weakened State as well. I''ve spent some time fighting zombies too. If he rushes over to seek revenge once he recovers, I''ll be at a huge disadvantage if I''m stuck stripping my ballista! This dude behaves like me a few years ago. If I was him, I would seek revenge too. I only won just now because of the level up and the HP regeneration. I can''t possibly level up as and when I want, right? Hence, to play it safe, Da Fei pushed his ballista into the cabin, then turned it around and aimed at the staircase. Come on, I''ll wait for you! Time ticked by slowly. After ten minutes, he heard some hurried footsteps from above again! Oh yeah! You''re right on time! Once you reach here, your Weakened State will end, right?! You timed it well. I wasn''t wrong about you! Plop! Raging Sea of Blood jumped down the stairs with murderous intent. Da Fei, who had been well prepared, laughed loudly. "Hello! Goodbye!" ¡ªBoom! Boom! Accompanied by two explosions from the ballista, Raging Sea of Blood cursed as he faded into a flash of white light again. ¡ªSystem Message: You have purposely launched a hostile attack against a player from the same faction as you, Raging Sea of Blood. You lost 50 Reputation points! Damn! You cost me some Reputation again. You''re nasty! Eh? Why was it 60 points just now, but only 50 now? Did he drop ranks? Eh, that''s so embarrassing? Wahahaha! As for now, I can finally strip my ballista. ¡­ In a luxurious bedroom, Raging Sea of Blood angrily took off his helmet and threw it to the ground. "F**k!" Smashing the helmet alone was not enough relief for him, so Raging Sea of Blood continued to kick over a few pieces of furniture! Then, he took out his phone. However, as he dialed, he thought for a while and canceled the call. He was playing an online game, not fighting someone in the same city. What good would making some calls do him? Furthermore, today was Day 1 after the launch of this game. His friends were still busy purchasing accounts. If he told them about how he got dominated, wouldn''t he be asking to be made fun of? Anyways, I have to get revenge here by myself. As long as I get that Magic Book, I won''t be afraid of any paralytic toxins from him. As for the ballista? That''s a huge issue. However, the ballista won''t fit anywhere on the first level below deck. That''s my turf! I''ll endure this! Level up and kill the BOSS! Once I form my own studio, I''ll hunt you down across the entire server! ¡­ After Da Fei disassembled the ballista, he felt much more at ease. There''s probably another level below this. Let me go check it out. Da Fei arrived at the staircase near the end of the cabin. All he could see was water! No way? It''s flooded? Seems like this ship really got some holes in it? What am I supposed to do now? Ah, wait, there are repair tools and materials upstairs. I even got a toolbox from killing the zombie BOSS. These are obviously signs asking me to repair the ship! I''ll wait until the low tide tonight. The water should go away from the bottom cabin, right? As for now, of course it''s time to check out the upper-level cabin rooms. I got six room keys from killing BOSSes just now! These zombie BOSSes must be strong warriors who were leaders on this ship before they died, right? Who knows what treasures are inside their rooms?! Wahahaha! Da Fei activated Hidden Movement and returned to the top-level cabin. He heard some faint fighting noises from the deck outside. Oh, he''s so ashamed that he''s training hard to level up now? Same as me a while ago. Haha! Da Fei tested the different keys in the first room from the staircase. Then, with a clicking sound, the door opened and he caught a whiff of a moldy and dusty smell. Alright, as long as there are no rotten bodies inside. Da Fei sneakily walked in. The room was not big, around seven to eight square meters. There were only a few things inside. A single bed, a study table, a chair, a small closet, a bookshelf, and an item shelf. The space was tightly-packed yet neat. It was a typical cabin room on a ship. Da Fei hurriedly rummaged through the bookshelf. A golden-colored book appeared in front of him! Da Fei''s eyes widened! ¡ªSystem Message: You received a Defense Skill Book. Spend 1 Skill point to learn Basic Defense Skill! ¡ªDefense Skill: Reduce the damage taken by the hero and his troops. Additional 10% reduction for every upgrade of this skill. I see! I knew it. Although there aren''t any mentors or NPCs here, there are Skill Books! Since there''s a Skill Book in this room, there must be one in the next room, right? Furthermore, there should be equipment rewards for novices, right? Da Fei rummaged through the rest of the drawers. I don''t believe it. How can an important leader not have any equipment?! Voyage journal, oil lamp, cup, fountain pen, poetry novel, harmonica. Damn! This zombie was an artsy youngster! Oh! Found it! ¡ªSailor''s Ceremonial Uniform: Sailors only wear this uniform during official ceremonies. Formalness: 80, Disguise: 50, Durability: 96/100. ¡ªFormalness: How formal the clothes are. You will not be able to communicate with certain NPCs or enter official residences or palaces if your formalness is too low. ¡ªDisguise: Able to cover some of your flaws. Even if you are a poor sailor, wearing this will make you appear slightly more respectable. Da Fei was stunned. Just like that? Not even any Defense? What the heck! I don''t need this stuff now. I need huge Defense boosting armors! As a Defense Skill Sailor, don''t you have any backup metal armor? Da Fei continued his search, yet came up empty. Actually, sailors don''t wear metal armor, right? If they get knocked into the sea while wearing that, they''re screwed. Leather armor will probably break down really last. Forget it. If a normal piece of equipment is so hard to find already, strategic treasures will probably be impossible to find here. Never mind, I''ll check out the other rooms. Da Fei left the room and locked it quietly, before sneaking off to the other rooms. After a whole day''s search, the results were out. Just as Da Fei expected, there was only a set of useless ceremonial uniform in each room. Apart from that, he received a few Skill Books: Attack Skill Book, Logistics Skill Book, Command Skill Book, Luck Skill Book, and Archery Skill Book! All the basic combat skills and adventure skills were there! The Light Magic, Destructive Magic, and Arcane Magic Skill Books are probably in Markal''s room. Anyways, all the skills that an ordinary novice can learn in the Beginner Village are probably all here! In conclusion, apart from not being able to change my occupation, this place isn''t that different from normal Beginner Villages. The necessary skills to learn are all available. Da Fei helplessly looked at the bundle of Skill Books on him. He did not share the same excitement as when he first found the Reconnaissance Skill Book. When he had no skills at all, he craved for Skill Books madly. However, now that he had a whole range of them, he felt helpless. So what if I have books? Which player doesn''t want to max out all his skills? However, I need to have Skill Points to learn them, right?! I need to painstakingly kill BOSSes here just to learn a skill, while ordinary novices can just find mentors to talk to! This is useless! Do I have to search through their Voyage Diaries again to search for random stuff? Please stop torturing me! At least the seafarer Juan and the Artillery Chief Grint were named NPCs. These six bosses don''t even have names. I don''t believe they had any research projects going on. Wait! Where''s the Captain''s room? These normal officers don''t have any equipment or treasure, but the ultimate BOSS like the Captain probably will have some, right? Where''s the Captain''s room? The upper-level cabins? However, the Captain''s room is very special. It''s the private territory that only belongs to him, similar to properties that players can buy in this game. Unless the owner authorized someone to go in, nobody will be able to enter. Even if you sink the entire ship or dismantle the structure, you still won''t be able to enter. Nothing can override control over private properties. The sky was turning dark now and the low tide was here again. Da Fei planned on checking out the basement cabin first. He made his way back. As expected, the water was no longer there and Da Fei caught a whiff of the salty smell of seawater. What can be down here? If I encounter a BOSS, what can my ballista with 8 HP do? However, since it''s filled with water here, judging by the normal environment settings of the game, any monsters living here should probably be sea monsters, right? Whatever, I''m all the way here already. Da Fei inhaled deeply and activated his Hidden Movement. Once he entered the cabin, he saw a huge crowd of glowing red lights. Da Fei was stunned. This¡­ old friend, sea anemone brothers! Chapter 24:Skeleton Captain That''s right! It was a sea anemone. The bottom-most cabin was full of gleaming meaty tentacled sea anemone! Da Fei thought that sea anemones were hidden creatures that only appeared during low tide. Was this a sea anemone farm? Sea anemones were great! He loved it! That meant that Raging Sea of Blood would have to face these creatures as well. The problem was, how would he take them down in close combat with a short weapon? Was it necessary for him to get the Magic Book first? The book seemed to allow him to summon Skeleton Zombies, and Skeleton Zombies were not afraid of poison. Since the Magic Book was so powerful, Da Fei must stop Raging Sea of Blood from getting it. If he returned without any achievement this time, he would go guard the Magic Book Boss. As he was killing the monsters, the System suddenly sounded a warning! ¡ªSystem message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are powerful enemies hiding nearby, please remain alert! Da Fei was shocked! Boss! At this point, the red frame in front of Da Fei''s map flashed, which was what happened when he encountered the Sea Anemone King! Latent enemies? Water Ghost? Or was there a Sea Anemone King here as well? If it was a Ghost Boss, that would be too tough on beginners. Even a Master-level Ballista might not take it down. However, no matter what type of Boss it was, there was no other way! Since he was here, he had to find out what Boss it was. Da Fei stepped forward nervously. The red frame flashed even more rapidly on the small map! No, no. This wouldn''t do! It was okay if latent enemies did not make a move. But once they did, it was bound to be fast as lightning. He managed to escape the last time due to the low hit rate of the Sea Anemone King''s Catapult attack. If this was a different Boss, even if he was well-prepared in advance, it would not be of any use. Da Fei turned to face the Boss and crouched down. After all, there was the Reconnaissance Skill alert. There was no need for him to turn around to escape. It was taboo to have his back face the enemy! Da Fei took another step forward! ¡ªSystem Message: Warning! The Reconnaissance Skill has scouted that the hidden enemy is about to appear! Run!!! Da Fei imitated Raging Sea of Blood''s actions, similar to a star footballer avoiding the goalkeeper and scoring a ball with his head! Right at that moment, he smelled a familiar fishy odor. ¡ªMiss! Yeah!!! Dafei rolled and crawled as he glanced behind. He was overjoyed! It was really a Sea Anemone farm! Old friend, we meet again! At this moment, on the side of the cabin near the wall, a large gleaming red meatball waved its nearly ten meters long giant tentacles. Sea Anemone King! Wahahaha! Like I said, even if it''s a trial for the Godly Hero, the System would not design a level that players can''t beat. However, isn''t it too much for a Boss to appear twice in a scene? Anyway, with the Ballista, this Boss is like a free pass! Without saying anything else, Da Fei quickly assembled the Ballista. The total Damage of Da Fei''s Intermediate Ballista was 27-36, Attack 15. Against the Sea Anemone King that had Defense 2, it would be 44-59 Damage. Even if it had 600 HP, it would just take six to seven hits. It was completely different from the time when Da Fei had to fight through all night. This was all thanks to his wiseness that he managed to keep the Ballista. After all, there were no bunkers here. At this moment, Da Fei realized that the Sea Anemone King was not in the ship, but outside. Its location was the hole of the sunken ship. If he wanted to mend the hole, he would need to kill this Boss. So this is how it is! I will cooperate with you! Finally, Da Fei finished assembling the Ballista. He loaded it smugly, then fired twice. "47!" "50!" Green liquid splattered everywhere! Wahahaha! Great! Another shot! The echo of the Ballista and Da Fei''s laughter reverberated in the cabin! Then, Da Fei was stunned! Wait! How did Raging Sea of Blood come down at such an appropriate timing? He must have heard the sound from the Ballista, right? Now that he was firing here, it must be louder with the hole. There was no reason for him not to hear it on the deck, right? Da Fei''s brows'' twitched! If it was him, he would have blown his top from dying twice in a row. He would definitely try to profit from his misfortune! Was Raging Sea of Blood really so calm? Da Fei would intercept him! He immediately went up the stairs to the level 1 cabin. The best place to intercept was, of course, the ground filled with Zombies in the materials cargo. There were some Zombies that he ignored after killing the Artillery Chief Boss. Now they had come to use. What if he did not come? He would be at a loss, then. It would be waiting in vain. Hence, Da Fei hoped that he would come. One could never be too careful. He felt uneasy with the uncertainty! ¡­ At this moment, Raging Sea of Blood was killing Zombies resentfully on the deck. No matter how upset, angry, and unwilling he was to accept it, to die twice consecutively made Raging Sea of Blood feel desolate. Inadvertently, he heard the sounds of fighting at the bottom of the ship again. On this quiet night, it was extremely ear-piercing! Raging Sea of Blood frowned. The idiot was firing his Ballista again! It must be a Boss that was worth his effort! This was the right time to take action! He must take revenge, snatch the Ballista, and kill the Boss! Even if he couldn''t get the Ballista, he would destroy it! The time, he would definitely not be able to restore his HP with a level up, right? Once he killed him once, he would destroy his equipment. Then, he''d wait at the resurrection point and kill him till he dropped to Level 0. Action spoke louder than words. Raging Sea of Blood charged through the Zombies who were in the way and dashed to the bottom cabin. The reason why he killed the Zombies instead of charging through while avoiding the attacks was that he found that with his level, it was not advantageous. Especially when his opponent had risen to Level 10 and received +1 Damage from the System. He needed to rise to the challenge. Strength was the language between the strong. And because he took time to kill the Zombies, that gave Da Fei the time to ambush him. Raging Sea of Blood jumped down to the bottom cabin. The ground was filled with Zombies. Raging Sea of Blood ignored them and rushed straight through. Just as he entered the Artillery Cabin, a pike flew out from the side of the door! ¡ªSystem Message: You were attacked by player Da Fei''s hostile attack. You may counterattack! ¡ªSystem Message: Your Speed is paralyzed by the attack. Your movement is stopped! Raging Sea of Blood''s eyes turned red as he howled wildly. "Motherf**ker!!!" Da Fei sneered. "Stupid!" There was no way out when evil was done too obviously. After all, people should be kind! Although they should be kind, it did not stop Da Fei. The group of Zombies behind Raging Sea of Blood was nearing! That was right! The Zombies were too useful! As Raging Sea of Blood scolded and jumped again, Da Fei jumped down the stairs to escape from the Zombies. It was finally peaceful. He had sacrificed 50 Reputation in exchange for this peace. He could finally fight the Boss without disruption. Two more blasts and the Sea Anemone King that was in the way exploded. ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King! You obtained 6,000 EXP points! You obtained the heart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King! ¡ªSystem Message: Your "Lonely Hero 10 Straight Wins" progressed to 9/10. Oh! I got another Sea Anemone heart! I must use it well this time. It can definitely sell for a good price! Whoever suffered from it will know its effect! How about I sell this to Raging Sea of Blood? He knows it best. His Godly Hero should not be short of money, right? Wahahaha! There was only one Boss left. However, if he had encountered another Boss, he would be out of tricks. He would have to return to the cabin to defeat the Magic Book Boss first. Da Fei packed up his Ballista, cleared a few Sea Anemones that were in the way, and reached the end of the bottom cabin. A giant Skeleton was soaked in water. Final Boss? Da Fei kept a sharp lookout. Indeed, blue, cold flame filled the Skeleton''s hollow eye sockets! Da Fei retreated nervously. At this moment, a golden exclamation mark appeared on the map! Da Fei was surprised! Anyone who played this game knew that that was the Quest NPC! So, there was an NPC on this uninhabited island! It felt good to encounter a living person instead of a Boss at this moment! Even though he was not a living person! "Finally, someone found me¡­" The skeleton propped up its body slowly with the long sword in its hand, and its hoarse voice resounded through the cabin. "I''m Captain Renoir of the St. Anthony. We were cursed and our souls could not leave. I have been sleeping in order to preserve my Soul Strength until someone finds me. Adventurer, you''re the one I''ve been waiting for. I want to break the curse and set the souls of all the seafarers free. I hope you can join me in the fight to the last moment!" ¡ªSystem Message: You received Trial Mission "Assist the Captain in Battle". You will be teleported to the Trial Space once you are ready. Are you ready? Trial Mission! He finally received the graduation task for beginners! There was no need to hesitate. He was ready! The cold flame in the Skeleton Captain''s eye sockets burned vigorously. He waved his long sword and a distorted portal appeared. "Set off!" Da Fei quickly followed behind. The scene changed. Under an overcast, dark sky, an endless gray and black ocean, Da Fei and the Captain appeared on a small deserted island that resembled the Island of Miracles. But, there were no shipwrecks and coconut trees. Looking at the black and white world, Da Fei exclaimed. "Where is this?" "The back of the World, the World of the Dead. The seal of our enchantment is on this small island!" ¡ªSystem Message: You are now in the Legion of Heroes mode. You became a sub-hero under Renoir. ¡ªNovice Guide: Heroes can command ordinary soldiers or sub-heroes. The main hero''s Strategy Attack, Defense, and Skills will apply for the entire regiment, but they do not stack with the sub-hero''s Strategy Attack, Defense, and Skills. When a certain Attack and Defense attribute of the sub-hero is higher than the Hero, the higher attribute will take effect. The attribute can only take effect on the regiment led by the sub-hero. For a more detailed introduction, please refer to the official website. Da Fei''s spirit was lifted. Legion of Heroes! A player''s dream! Chapter 25:Legion of Heroes The Legion of Heroes meant that when the General went on an expedition, he would order a group of sub-heroes to help lead the soldiers. More units would need more leaders. For example, if the hero brought two types of soldiers, a Pikeman and a Bowman, and the General appointed a sub-hero to lead a Pikemen unit, then the Legion of Heroes was formed. Of course, a sub-hero could be appointed to lead the Bowmen too. The General could bring as many sub-heroes as there were Tactical Positions. The value of a hero was to add Strategy Attack and Defense attributes to the whole army. The army would stack Attack and Defense based on the hero''s Attack and Defense attributes. When there was more than one hero in the team, the one with the highest Strategy Attack and Defense would be used. For example, if the General''s Strategy Attack and Defense were higher than that of all the sub-heroes, the entire army''s Attack and Defense would be calculated based on the General''s. Similarly, when the Skill Level of the hero was higher than that of all sub-heroes, the Skill of the hero would prevail. Of course, the personal Attack and Defense of the sub-hero would still be stacked with that of the General''s. If a certain attribute of the sub-hero, such as Defense, was higher than the General''s, the Defense of the troops led by the sub-hero was subjected to the sub-hero''s attributes instead. That meant, the Attack, Defense, and Skill of the sub-hero would only affect the unit under his command. Therefore, the whole point of forming a legion was to have sub-heroes whose abilities complemented that of the hero. Of course, a warrior-type hero with high Attack and Defense should recruit a magic-type sub-hero. Magic-type heroes with very low Attack and Defense should also recruit warrior-type sub-heroes with high Attack and Defense. At the same time, players could also appoint a sub-hero with outstanding Attack and Defense as the General. In this case, the boost on the army''s Attack, Defense, and Skills would mainly be based on the sub-hero who was the General. In this way, the magic-type players would only need to focus on training one sub-hero with high Attack and Defense. In fact, all magic-type players would appoint their sub-heroes as Generals. Another important aspect of the sub-hero was that their Command Power could be directly stacked with that of the hero. That meant, the greater its value, the more units they could bring with them. So, even if a player encountered NPC sub-heroes in the tavern whose attributes and Skills were useless but had very high Command Power, they would still find it worthwhile to train him! After all, soldiers were the key to a kingdom! When it came to NPC heroes in the tavern, it must be mentioned that the important thing was that players could not form a Legion of Heroes between themselves. Otherwise, if two people had a good relationship and they both joined forces, one strong in Attack, one strong in Defense, how would the game developer earn? Players could only form teams. Each would have their own units, but everyone shared EXP and equipment and could complete quests together. So the sub-hero could only be an NPC! The sub-hero was just like a rare character in an ordinary online game! Thousands of troops were easy to obtain, but one good General was rare. A sub-hero was also hard to recruit. There were certain requirements on the player''s Reputation and money. Even a trashy sub-hero could increase the number of units a player could bring! Of course, the sub-hero also took a share of the EXP, so recruiting sub-heroes required particular knowledge. Getting the best sub-hero, not to mention a pretty one, was something all players would strive for! The sub-heroes were divided into Ordinary Heroes, Epic Heroes, and Legendary Heroes. Ordinary Heroes were Level 1 to 20 NPCs that the System spawned in the Main City Tavern every once in a while. Among them, there were many with extraordinary special abilities and there was a low chance of some with godly special abilities. These NPC heroes had no past and no background. They were only there for one purpose. As for the Epic heroes, they had their own stories and legends in the Hero Continent. Once they appeared, they would have high ranks and even industries. It was extremely difficult for players to recruit them as sub-heroes. Of course, the specialties of Epic Heroes were sometimes ordinary. Their value was in their high rank and related kingdom background. Then, there was the Legendary Hero. This hero had supernatural special abilities and was extremely powerful. He was usually a famous General or a Lord. Heroes of this grade were almost impossible to recruit, but players could have them as temporary sub-heroes by doing quests. This was the case with Da Fei. Looking at the various buff effects on himself, Da Fei could already imagine how much his Attack and Defense had been boosted! Da Fei expanded his attribute bar panel, and even though he was prepared, he was stunned! ¡ªAttack: 60, Defense: 63, Damage: 7-9, Attack Speed: 12, Movement Speed: 12, Health: 40, Morale: 6, Luck: 5. Wow! These Attack and Defense attributes were overwhelming for a beginner! Da Fei''s basic attributes were: ¡ªAttack: 9, Defense: 3 (Personal Defense: 3), Damage: 5-7, Attack Speed: 10, Movement Speed: 10, Health: 38, Morale: 1, Luck: 0. That meant Renoir had 60 Attack and 60 Defense! (The general''s Attack and Defense would still stack on the hero''s Attack and Defense) Then, there was still the Grandmaster-level Attack Skill! Grandmaster-level Defense Skill! Master-level Command Skill! Master-level Luck Skill! This was amazing! Although it was unknown what type of hero he was, he was nevertheless one of the historical heroes within the game. He had to be at least an Epic Hero! With 60 Attack stacked on, Da Fei''s Damage of 7-9 increased by 300%, which made it 28-36! His Master-level Attack Skill further increased his Attack by 60%, making the final Damage 44-57! He had been instantly upgraded to the basic level of an Angel! The bad had been turned into something great! How terrifying would the Angel with 50 Basic Damage and 30 Attack be in his hands? He always thought that the damage of the Master-level Ballista was already impressive. However, in the latter part of the game, the Ballista''s 600 Health was insufficient! Of course, in Legion mode, Da Fei''s Ballista damage was still only Da Fei''s personal Skill attribute and would not be affected by the attributes of the hero. Otherwise, it would be terrifying if each sub-hero had a Ballista. However, such a powerful hero actually lost to Markal. Just what was Markal? His Epic mission was to fight him? Are you kidding? Da Fei asked in shock, "Captain, how strong is Duke Makarl?" Like the flame of a candle in the wind, the flames in the Skeleton''s eyes suddenly wavered. "In the Undead World, his name exists like a curse. As an Undead, I dare not even utter his name, in fear of becoming his slave!" Da Fei was shocked. "So what is he? A Death God?" The Skeleton said grimly, "Only below the Death God, above all Undead!" Da Fei was shocked. "Death Lord!" The special ability of the Death Lord was the same as the character, which was valued at 10 million US Dollars! The Skeleton nodded. "Yes! He''s a Death Lord! A living Death Lord! It seems that you know of him?" Da Fei hurriedly took out the diary of Seafarer Juan to show him. "I found this in Juan Sebastian''s belongings! He was the only living person who escaped on the day of the incident. He did not become a zombie! He recorded everything that happened that day!" The flame in the eyes of the skeleton flickered wildly. "Juan! I regret not listening to what he said. It turned out to be a big mistake! When our ship''s bottom was damaged and all the sailors went to the bottommost cabin to unload and try to save the ship, we were killed by poison gas! I was not his match and lost to him. He cursed those of us who died to vent his anger! Adventurer, what are your plans?" It turned out that all the cargo was dumped by them! As a professional, Da Fei knew that the plot had developed again. After all, Juan''s body was so well-hidden, how could the average player find it? There were definitely hidden missions in hidden scenes! Da Fei immediately said, "Juan''s last words were that I should avenge him and expose Markal''s scam. Of course, I will inherit his will and uphold justice!" In just that one instant, the Skeletons were enveloped in cold flames! Renoir smiled and said, "I always thought I was a fearless person, an adventurer who dared to take risks in any kind of dangerous place. But, when I died, I felt the insignificance of my soul. I became timid under the torture of the curse and I had nothing holding me here. My biggest wish is to get rid of the curse, die quietly, or even ascend to Heaven! But now, I changed my mind. I want to fight to the end. Adventurer, Juan''s will is my will. I will assist you!" ¡ªSystem Message: You have accepted the side mission "Captain Renoir''s Revenge" of the Epic Mission "Conspirator on the Great Route"! ¡ªNovice Guide: The side mission is not a mission that must be completed, but the completion of the side mission will greatly facilitate the completion of the main mission. Da Fei was shocked! Could it be that he was going to gain an Epic Undead Hero? This should be the case! They gave him an Epic Mission, how could they not arrange for an Epic Hero, right? Renoir continued, "Before that, I must destroy the cursed enchantment on the island. Otherwise, my soul will forever be imprisoned and I cannot leave! From now on, I will destroy the enchantment with my all. It may take a day or two. During this period, many enemies will definitely be alerted and attack me. But, I have no time for them. Adventurer, your task is to protect me and prevent the enemy from disturbing me!" ¡ªSystem Message: The Trial Mission "Assist the Captain in Battle" will begin in 30 seconds. Player, please guard against the enemy''s attack until the destruction ceremony is completed! Da Fei was stunned! What the heck! It turned out that the hero could not fight yet! He had to defend the hero! However, he had leveled up enough that ordinary enemies were not a matter of concern! He could kill any unit below Level 4 with just one hit! He would give it his all! What if he failed? Da Fei could not be bothered to think about it. Similar to how Da Fei would never waste time wondering if he would win when he bought the lottery. After all, Da Fei was a failure in reality, and a few more failures in the game did not matter. Since there was still time, Da Fei immediately took out his Beginner''s pack and began to eat and drink to replenish his energy. Five days had passed in the game? Raging Sea of Blood''s freshwater should be almost depleted? Da Fei had harvested all the fruits, was he thirsty now? Haha. ¡ªSystem Message: The Trial Mission will start in 10 seconds. Renoir walked to the middle of the desert island and cold flame from his entire body saturated his sword. Then, he stabbed the sword into the ground and a shockwave radiated outwards. Thunder roared in the dark skies above the island and the gray seas around it grew turbulent. ¡ªSystem Message: Trial Mission started! Good luck! A red dot flashed on the small map and a strange four-legged bony fish climbed ashore. It was a unit he had never seen before! It was not on the official website either! Of course, there were as many types of Undead units in the Undead World as there were types of insects in the Terrestrial World. Da Fei immediately rushed to the bony fish that was the size of a dog and shot it! -45! One-shot kill! Yay! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the Nether Sea Bone Servant! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed a Nether Sea Bone Servant and gained 50 EXP! 50 EXP?! Da Fei immediately expanded the information panel. ¡ªNether Sea Bone Servant: Small Undead Creature. Attack: ? Defense: 10 Health: 11 Damage: ? Attack Speed: 8 Movement Speed: 5 EXP: 50 Special Skill: ? This blood-sucking parasite was of the same level as an ordinary Level 4 unit! Of course, from Level 4 onwards, the EXP gained varied greatly from unit to unit. It could no longer be measured on the same scale as Level 1, 2 and 3 units. In short, the more Special Skills it had, the stronger the Special Skills and the higher its Health, the more EXP gained. The difficulty coefficient determined the EXP. The elite form often had one more Special Skill than the normal form. Hence, it was normal for the EXP to be doubled. As for a Boss, it was obvious the EXP could not be calculated by normal methods. This was just the first unit encountered and it was already like this? What would come after this? Just then, another Bone Servant climbed onto the beach and the other side of the island. Da Fei ran to it immediately without another thought. Chapter 26:Plant the Seed of the Sea Anemone King Raging Sea of Blood searched every corner of the sunken ship murderously. The entire sunken ship was wiped clean. Now, that piece of trash has no one to rely on. What''s left will be our battle against each other! ¡ªSystem Message: Respected user, the user you are looking for is not in the current service area. Not in the current service area definitely did not mean that he was not online. It meant, he had gone to another scene. That meant, he had robbed him of his gains! Raging Sea of Blood gritted his teeth. He had never felt such frustration and failure! Raging Sea of Blood did not care about the equipment. He was rich, he could buy as much equipment as he wished! What he hated most was the feeling of failing! From a young age, he had never been defeated in studies or fights! In terms of intelligence and physique, Raging Sea of Blood always thought he was one level higher than others. However, it was a fact that the other party had killed him three times. No matter how unwilling he was to accept it, Raging Sea of Blood had to face this reality. This was an opponent that could not be taken lightly! However, this was a beginner island for Godly Heroes, assigned to him by the System, not for Da Fei¡ªalthough he had to admit that his talent was very strange, just because he was talented in battling did not mean he would succeed so easily! He had no Magic Book, no army, as a Pikeman with a Ballista that was as slow as a snail, what could he achieve? That''s right. The System had not indicated that he had failed the Trial. There was still a Magic Book Boss. The ship was still here. His advantage was still there, though not obvious. He still had the chance to turn the tables around! Not for the equipment, not for the reward, just to win! Raging Sea of Blood returned to the cabin and found that the number of Zombies summoned by the Boss had increased significantly. The pathway was filled up. Needless to say, this must be the impact caused by that piece of trash entering another scene of the Trial Mission. That was fine. He was worried about his speed of leveling up. He could kill to his heart''s content! ¡­ Undead World. The Bone Servants popped out from everywhere. Da Fei was tired of running around and killing them. Damn! Can''t they all come from one direction?! It''s exhausting to run all over like this! The situation was getting more and more serious, more monsters spawned at a faster speed, and the map showed the Bone Servants appearing in all directions. Da Fei''s defense circle gradually narrowed to a small circle around the Captain. This can''t be! How am I supposed to guard against them!? If I were an Archer, I could at least shoot them one by one! Da Fei was so anxious he perspired cold sweat. Finally, a Bone Servant successfully broke Da Fei''s defense circle and attacked the Captain who was performing the ceremony. -1! Da Fei hurriedly turned around and stabbed it to death. The Captain said immediately, "Adventurer, protect me well. I don''t have the energy to deal with foreign invasion! Once I fail, I will sink for eternity!" Da Fei was desolate! That meant that if he failed the Trial Mission, there would be no more Epic Hero? Da Fei finally understood why the System had sent two players to this island. There was no way one person could guard against enemies coming in all directions! Isn''t this a cheat!? It''s not that I want to solo, but that idiot had no intention of cooperating at all! It''s not my fault! Oh God, oh Heaven, I admit to all my wrongdoings, but you don''t need to send an idiot to piss me off, right? Looking at the increasing amounts of spawns around, Da Fei got anxious! What should he do? What should he do?! Was this Hero Trial really so tough? Was there really a need for two players to team up? It was not wrong, even America and the Soviet Union could team-up. It was not impossible for him and the idiot! Captain, do you know that I can''t complete the mission alone? If you knew, you should have said so. Don''t open the dungeon so anxiously. Give me some time to talk to the idiot. It''s not completely hopeless. It''s okay if you cheated me, I can pretend I didn''t see you. But it''s not worth putting your own life at risk! Wait, I still have something! Da Fei anxiously opened his bag. ¡ªThe Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King''s seed: Unit resource base. In a specific environment, able to groom the new type of unit, Demonized Venom Sea Anemone. Small chance to groom the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King. Construction condition: Unknown. This thing drops when the Boss is first killed. That meant, if players did not find the hidden Boss in the wild, they would have to kill this Boss when they reach this step. They would definitely get this item. What if he planted it on this spot? Generally speaking, once the unit resource base was completed, there should be at least one unit. That was all he was short of! Even if it was a Level 1 unit, under Renoir''s amazing Attack, Defense, and Skill add-on, it should be able to kill one monster in seconds! As long as the Epic Hero was protected, it was worth sacrificing a unit resource base. Moreover, the construction conditions of the unit resource base were unknown, it was difficult to sell it for a high price. The problem was, when would the construction be completed? Of course, the most important question was, could it be planted here? This was the Undead World. It was not a place where ordinary creatures could survive, right? F**k, what was there to consider at a time like this? He had never given a second thought when he bought the lottery! He would plant it right beside the Captain. No matter how bad it was, it could at least be used as a wall, changing the attack from all four directions to three, instead. ¡ªSystem Message: Are you sure you want to use the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King''s seed here? ¡ªSystem Message: This place is not part of your Kingdom. Your base might be destroyed or occupied by hostile forces at any time. At the same time, the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King''s seed is an unknown creature. Its growth and construction conditions are unknown. Your planting may fail. If it fails, you will lose the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King''s seed. I''m going all out! Confirm! ¡ªSystem Message: As the conditions for planting the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King''s seed are unknown, please prepare for resource allocation. Resource allocation? How do I know which resources?! Wait! Da Fei suddenly got reminded of the first hidden Sea Anemone King he met in the large whale skull! Why were there several wooden barrels containing resources? Why was there a Sea Anemone King there? The System had already given him the answer! This Sea Anemone King must have grown by absorbing the goods on board! As for small sea anemone in the wild, they must have grown from the unloaded cargo on the ship. If he only found them on the ship, how would he know what nutrients they needed? The hidden Boss he encountered in the wild had told him clearly that the resources required for its growth were the Concentrated Mercury, Fine Crystal Sulfur, and Mithril that he found in the barrels! So that was what it was! Da Fei immediately put all those resources that he found into the resource allocation list. Confirm! These were New World-exclusive premium resources. One unit was equivalent to 10 units of ordinary resources. Even an Angel Alter that recruited Level 7 units only required 20 pieces each of ordinary wood, stone, crystal, and gemstones. He used specifications good enough for Level 7 constructions. He put in all the resources he had on his. It must succeed! ¡ªSystem Message: You have planted the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King''s seed. Please wait patiently for the results. At the same time, a large red ring of light appeared on the ground below Da Fei. Above the ring was a progress bar slowly advancing. Damn, success or failure aside, how long did he have to wait? Forget it, at a time like this, he had done everything he could and could only wait! Bone Servants continued appearing in all four directions. Da Fei spared no effort to kill them using his pike. Da Fei was utterly exhausted. Another Bone Servant outran him and pounced forward. Its location was on the red ring of light. Da Fei hurriedly rushed over and killed it. At this moment, the bonefire from the Bone Servant''s brain turned into blue smoke and flew into the red ring of light. At the same time, the progress bar of the construction increased by a little! Da Fei was shocked. It turned out this sea anemone was not a herbivore, it ate the Soul Strength of higher-level creatures! That was why there was a giant whale skull beside the Sea Anemone King! With his new discovery, Da Fei changed his tactics. He no longer kept his enemies outside but allowed them to come nearer. The Captain said anxiously, "Adventurer, I was attacked again!" Da Fei immediately said, "Hang in there, Captain. I have a secret weapon!" As he spoke, he killed another Bone Servant. The Bone Servant''s bonefire turned into blue smoke and added to the progress bar as well. Wahahaha! Looking at the progress, the construction was already half succeeded! Da Fei was extremely confident. He killed the Bone Servants around the Captain one by one. Their bonefire all contributed to the construction and in no time, the progress had passed one-fifth of the bar. The Captain kept talking. "Adventurer, although this damage is nothing to me, it''s distracting!" Da Fei laughed. "Please concentrate, Captain. Ignore these ants." As he said that, he killed another Bone Servant. Now that Da Fei got the hang of it, he was able to kill the Bone Servants before they attacked the Captain and ensured that the progress bar moved from their bonefire. In no time, a golden light descended from the skies! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations, you have reached Level 11! You obtained 1 Strategy Attribute, 1 Skill Point, +2 Health Points, and your Command Value increased by 1. He leveled up! Was it difficult to level up after Level 10? Not at all! He was receiving EXP steadily! He felt like he was killing Level 0 units, but got the EXP of killing a Level 4. Where else could he encounter anything that felt this good? At this moment, a silver-black object suddenly protruded from the red circle! It sprouted? Was it a success? Wahahaha, continue! After a while, the Captain''s long sword shone and the thunder roared in the skies. The island shook. The Captain said grimly, "We have entered the second stage. More powerful enemies will appear. You must be guarded." More powerful enemies were good! He was just thinking that these Bone Servants were too weak. Da Fei said, "No problem, don''t worry." Waves surged on the sea surface, a giant monster with a snake''s tail and dragon''s head, covered with black smoke, landed on the shore and approached them. Was this the Undead Naga? According to the rules, he rushed forward to kill it. Da Fei believed he could easily overcome it with the Captain''s 60-point Strategic Defense, in addition to God knows how many Personal Defense and Grandmaster-level Epic Hero''s 60% Damage. It''s coming! Stabbed with the pike, -53! Not dead yet! Its HP far exceeded a Level 4 unit! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the Nether Sea Foreman! It''s coming nearer. Attack before it has the chance to. Another strike, -17! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed a Nether Sea Bone Foreman and gained 90 EXP! 90 EXP! This Undead sea monster was too strong¡­ Well, it was too nutritious! So nutritious that he was not interested in its information! He loved the EXP, wahahaha! Chapter 27:Unit Building: Sea Anemone Hive Another golden light shot down from the sky and Da Fei was at Level 12. He was now able to kill a Level 5 unit in two hits. It felt really good! The Sea Anemone had grown into a silver-black sphere as tall as one person. At this time, the construction progress was already more than half, which was quite fast compared to the normal construction period of ten and a half months. Renoir also suffered quite a lot of damage. However, no matter how good the Level 5 units were, they still only had 15 Attack and about 15 points of Damage. Against up to 50 points of Attack and Defense, the Damage was not even one-third. The Damage was further reduced by his Grandmaster''s Defense Skill by 60%, which made it at most 2 points of Damage. It was totally insignificant when compared to his HP, which was like that of a Boss. It was not these ordinary units that posed a threat to him, but the Boss! There must be a Boss on this Trial Mission, right? A huge silver moon rose slowly from the sea and the clouds in the sky were swept clean. How big was the moon? It was 100 times as large as an ordinary moon! This was definitely not the same moon as the one on Earth. The waves in the Nether Sea rose in a cacophonous chorus and the entire sea fogged up. Renoir said grimly, "The Moon of Death, the source of Life and Power in the Undead World. The enemies'' Attack will be even stronger later." Da Fei asked, "What about you, Captain?" Renoir said in a low voice, "I''m slowly recovering. However, the curse enchantment will also become stronger and I have no advantage at all. We must survive tonight." They could regenerate HP. There was no need to worry! Ultimately, the impressive display of might in the daytime was just an easy experience for the players. It seemed that the real deal came at night. Based on the time, however, it should be daytime on the surface now. And at this moment, the tip of the big silver-black sphere suddenly snapped, and a short red meaty tip pushed its way out of the shell¡ªwas it a tentacle? Could it be that this unit resource base was a living thing? Or perhaps it was a Sea Anemone King that could reproduce? It was likely! Very highly likely! The Elves'' famous Tree of Life was a building that could engage in battle. In fact, many of the Elves'' high-level buildings were alive and could fight! If this Sea Anemone building was similar to that of the Elves'', even if a Boss appeared, they would have a fighting chance! Looking at the construction progress bar soaring in the moonlight, Da Fei laughed excitedly! He finally understood why this Sea Anemone was lurking in the sand and why it was soaking up spiritual energy. It was because the land which had sunlight was actually not suitable for its growth. Perhaps the Undead World was its real home? Now, countless Undead Naga landed in the thick fog. Da Fei''s confidence was through the roof. Come on! My Sea Anemone is hungry and thirsty! ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are powerful enemies near you, please be alert! Da Fei was shocked! Boss! Sure enough, behind the group of monsters, an extremely tall Undead Naga with two huge bone knives appeared out of the fog! Was this for real? The Boss appeared right at the beginning! They might lose badly! Renoir hurriedly said, "A powerful enemy has appeared, we must stop it! It has the power to destroy the ceremony!" What the heck! Even the NPC was not calm! Under ordinary circumstances, this trial should be completed by two people in a team? There should also be help from a dark Magic Book? Now, there was only one player and the Sea Anemone was still under construction. It did not look like one person could take the Boss down by himself, right? What should he do? The only thing he could do was stick to the tried and tested way of stalling for time! Delay until the Sea Anemone was completed! Da Fei hurriedly said to Renoir, "I have a winning tactic. Captain, you must hold on! Hold on! Calm down!" Then, he hurried to the side and started sneaking to avoid taking damage. Renoir said anxiously, "Don''t lie to me!" The Undead Naga swarmed up and slashed at the Captain furiously. For a time, the numbers -2, -1, -2, -2 appeared continuously above the Captain''s head. When the Boss arrived, the Captain was already surrounded on all sides. Because he did not know where to start, the Boss stood blankly watching from outside the crowd. This was a key scene, similar to the one in the artillery cabin where Da Fei had bombarded the Boss with the Ballista. The good thing was that this Boss did not attack the Sea Anemone. It seemed that the difficulty of this Trial Mission was still within human limits. All the monsters targeted the Captain and ignored the player. The rules of the game were similar to that of a tower defense game. In this case, Da Fei stepped forward and tried to stab one of the small monsters. When he attacked, colorful light flashed above Da Fei''s head¡ªLucky Strike! Double Damage! One-shot kill! This was the Captain''s Luck Skill! Lucky Strike dealt double the player''s maximum Damage! ¡ªLuck Skill: Each level of skill increases the Luck value of heroes and hero troops by 1 point. 1 point of Luck increases the chance of getting a 2% lucky hit. 5 points would get one to Master-level, which gave a 10% chance of getting a Lucky Strike. When there were just a few units, the effect was not obvious. But when there were many units, this 10% was quite scary! It was similar to the fact that out of 100 units, 10 units would do double damage. Conversely, when Luck was negative, it was possible to get an Unlucky Strike, which was half of the minimum damage. The Demon race was most adept at decreasing the Luck of the enemy. And at this time, he had disturbed the hornet''s nest! The mobs surrounding the Boss immediately became aggressive toward Da Fei! Although their target was the captain, they would, of course, attack all enemies which provoked them. Da Fei was shocked! He began to run! For a while, Da Fei led the entire mob on a marathon around the island. Da Fei''s speed, which had been added to 12 points, was quite impressive. One lap, two laps, three laps. The Captain wailed from afar. "Adventurer, protect me! We can''t go on like this!" Da Fei tensed up and could only call back. "Captain, hang on. Time is victory!" He could not even hold his own against the little monsters, how could he hold out against the Boss? He believed in the Captain. Perhaps because the island was already saturated with enemies, no new monsters from the sea tried to come ashore. Da Fei''s Stamina was going down and he could barely move. The longer one ran at maximum speed, the greater the consumption of Stamina. He had no choice but to take out a coconut and smash it with his head. +100 Stamina! Oh yeah! He could carry on! Four laps, five laps, six laps! Was the Sea Anemone done yet? Da Fei turned around to look at the monsters chasing him. He could not help but feel sorry for them. Did they not feel tired? Was their Stamina not 100 points? Or did they have unlimited Stamina under the moonlight? The Captain cried out, "Adventurer!!!" Da Fei took out a coconut and shouted as loudly as he could, "¡ªWhat is a little pain in the wind and rain¡ª" How many rounds had he run? Da Fei could not remember. He felt that the speed of the monsters chasing him had begun to drop! Wahahaha! He thought that they were like an iron man in a marathon and could go on forever! It turned out that they would run out of Stamina too! Just then, ¡ªSystem Message: Your Unit Building "Sea Anemone Unit" was successfully built! ¡ªNovice Guide: You have your own recruitment building. The recruitment building requires related resources and population to train your own troops. At this moment, Da Fei''s Overlord interface panel suddenly activated and glowed! Da Fei looked at the center of the island in surprise. He saw several long tentacles flying out, killing a group of monsters besieging the Captain in one shot! Oh yeah! All that waiting had finally come to fruition! With the death of the monsters who had been blocking the way, there was again space around the Captain. The monsters who were chasing Da Fei immediately left to uphold their original mission. They abandoned Da Fei to encircle the Captain. Looking at the slow-moving Nagas, Da Fei felt suddenly delighted! They were out of Stamina! Their damage would be at its lowest when they were out of Stamina. They might even be in a state of weakness where their Damage was halved! In this case, it would be even easier to defeat this Boss. There was no need to say more. While the Boss'' Stamina was low, they should concentrate on defeating the Boss and not give it time to recover. Da Fei expanded his Overlord panel and there was an anemone icon in the personal facilities column. He clicked on it. ¡ªEnchanted Lethal Sea Anemone Hive: Recruit soldiers to construct. Attack: 80 (+60), Defense: 70 (+60), Damage: 10-12 (+2), Durability: 1,000, Attack Speed: 3 (+2), Movement Speed: 0, Special Skill: Multiple Attacks (5 tentacles), Highly Toxic Paralyze Attack, Catapult Attack. Number of Lethal Sea Anemones that can be recruited: 1/1. ¡ªSputter! Da Fei was so shocked he blew a wad of mucus! 80 Attack! 70 Defense! The Hero''s attributes could also be stacked onto buildings! This was against the natural order of things! There was no such boost for the ancient trees of the Elves! Although the ancient trees of the Elves could fight, they were in the same classification as War Machines, Arrow Towers, and other buildings. The fact that this hive could take on the Hero''s Attack and Defense showed that it was both a building and a living thing! As long as it was a living thing, it could be led by a Hero! There was no need to say more! What did 80 Attack mean? 1 Attack added 5% damage, 80 Attack added 400%! 10 Damage points would cause 50 Damage to enemies! If Grandmaster-level Attack Skill which added 60% was stacked on, that would mean a total of 80 Damage! This was just the tentacle''s ordinary Attack. The Special Skill had not been taken into account yet! Come on, attack the Boss! The Boss led its army and approached the Captain slowly. The five tentacles of the Sea Anemone Hive''s shot out¡ªpop, pop, pop, pop, pop! -86! -84! -88! -86! -84! Da Fei was shocked! Why was the Damage so low? A Catapult Attack could do two to three times the normal damage, which meant that the Sea Anemone''s actual Damage was not even 40! Excluding Skills, the normal boosted Damage of the Sea Anemone should be 50! What did that mean? It meant that the Boss'' Defense and Defense Skills were not much worse than Renoir''s Attack! Its Defense was so high, its Attack should be high too, right? It was no wonder Renoir was anxious when it appeared! What would I do if I encountered it under normal circumstances? Do I need the black Magic Book to reduce its stats? But its vitality is low now, that''s like being under the effect of Black Magic too, right? Da Fei frowned! No, he could not take the risk! The black Magic Book could summon Zombies. Many Zombies imbued with the Hero''s attributes would be very powerful, but he did not have enough Combat Power. He still needed to hold them back! The Sea Anemone Hive had 1,000 HP. Let the Sea Anemone take a few blows first. Now that the Boss was in position, it would definitely seize the attack position. If he wanted to hold it off, he would have to block its way! That would not do! It was too dangerous. Although its target was the Boss, there was no telling if it would simply cut him down as well. God knows what would happen if he died. Sea Anemone! He still had one Sea Anemone unit. He would recruit it and try to buy some time! Chapter 28:Complete the Trial Mission ¡ªToxic Demonized Sea Anemone: Attack: 5, Defense: 0, Health: 11, Speed: 1, Movement Speed: 0, Damage: 1-2, Command Value: 0, Special Skill: Multiple Attacks, Highly Toxic Paralyze Attack, Attack First. ¡ªMultiple Attacks: Each tentacle of this creature can participate in combat. ¡ªHighly Toxic Paralyze Attack: The Attack of this creature can interrupt the enemy''s actions and reduce the Attack, Defense, and Damage of the enemy. ¡ªAttack First: The creature''s tentacles are sensitive and can attack first when it is approached by an enemy. So, these were the full attributes of the Sea Anemone. There was no time to think, Da Fei immediately summoned the only unit from the hive. ¡ªSystem Message: You have used the resources in the hive to recruit a Toxic Demonized Sea Anemone. ¡ªSystem Message: Plant-type units are unable to move and cannot follow the Hero''s troops. It does not occupy the Hero''s Command Power. You only have one chance to configure its position. Please arrange your units. At this time, the big meatball in the hive squirmed. A blurred little anemone icon appeared before Da Fei''s eyes, similar to choosing the terrain when building a house. Da Fei looked clearly and moved the icon slightly above the point where the Boss was headed to. Confirm! Splat! A tiny meatball spewed from the tip of the hive and fell in front of the Boss. It rooted once it was on the ground. The Boss was blocked by it and was at the same speed as the other monsters. The Boss stopped and attacked, allowing the other monsters to overtake it. Positioned successfully! It was a pity his first unit died bravely and heroically. It was born great and died with glory! Now, Renoir was surrounded by little monsters. There was no Boss. After being attacked by the big Sea Anemone, it was natural for the Boss to attack it, instead. The battle between both began. -95! -94! The Boss attacked with his two bone knives. Facing Renoir''s high Defense, it actually managed to hit him with such high Damage! And this was when the Boss'' Damage was possibly halved due to his low Stamina. One could only imagine how terrifying the Damage of the Boss would be if it was not halved! Not only would Damage be halved when its Stamina was low, but its Attack Speed should also have been halved as well! This was comparable to the Grandmaster-level Dark Curse. Even with its Attack Speed halved, the Boss still drew its knives at lightning speed! In this manner, how many attacks could the 1,000 HP big Sea Anemone take? How many attacks could the Captain take? It seemed he needed to surround this Boss with Zombies summoned by the Dark Magic Book. There was no way out now. He had to go all out! Da Fei rushed up and stabbed it fiercely. -30! -28! Such Damage, needless to say, the Boss definitely had Master-level Defense Skill to reduce the impact of the Captain''s Attack Skill. For a moment, the big Sea Anemone was slashed and its green liquid splattered everywhere. The big Sea Anemone''s Attack Speed began to reveal its disadvantages. The Boss attacked it three times, each causing a loss of 300 HP. It only managed to hit back once, causing the Boss to lose 400 HP. And this was the effect with a bonus Attack Speed of 2. The outcome would be unimaginable if it had relied on its original Attack Speed of 1. Who knew how much HP this Boss had? The big Sea Anemone only had less than 200 HP left. Sensing the critical situation, Da Fei stopped his attack and immediately attacked a small monster near the Captain. Once it went down, the Boss stopped attacking the Sea Anemone and rushed to fill the gap to attack the Captain. Captain, I blocked 900 HP worth of Damage for you! If you can''t get through this, I can only count myself unlucky. Finally, after the Captain suffered two attacks, the Boss'' body fell to the ground from the big Sea Anemone''s delayed attack. ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed the Boss Monster Nether Sea Leader Monster Watchman and gained 20,000 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the Nether Sea Watchman! It was finally defeated! Da Fei sighed a long breath of relief. At the same time, he contentedly opened the information card and sucked in a cold breath. Sure enough, it was a Boss with 50 Defense, 1,800 HP, and had its own Master-level Defense Skill! If this was sent to the Terrestrial World, it would be absolutely¡­ forget it. There was no need to say more. In any case, Da Fei had passed the first hurdle. Da Fei chuckled. "Captain, are you okay?" Renoir said, upset, "Adventurer, did you not see me getting attacked?" Oh yes, there are still little monsters! Wahaha, I actually forgot about them. I''ll send you on your way. After the Boss died, its body emitted thick green smoke which gathered above the hive. With a snap, another short, red stout appeared¡ªa new tentacle! Yes, yes, yes! It should grow. Both Sea Anemone Kings that Da Fei saw had at least ten tentacles. This only had five. It seemed this hive was not at its peak yet. From now on, it was no longer possible for the big Sea Anemone to take any attacks for the Captain. He could only go head-on. The sea waves fluctuated. New enemies appeared. However, for Dafei, who already owned a Sea Anemone fort, these monsters were just courting death. There was no chance for them to go near Renoir at all. Under the moonlight, Renoir''s HP began to rise steadily. The sixth tentacle of the Sea Anemone was completely formed, and the seventh tentacle had just broken out. One could imagine the amount of nutrients it had gotten from the fall of the Boss. Da Fei, who had gained 20,000 EXP from the Boss, rose to Level 13 effortlessly. The speed of leveling was amazing. As the saying went, a playground for the strong, hell for the weak, referred to a place like this, right? Wahahaha! ¡ªSystem Message: Your Sea Anemone Hive has received enough nutrients. A Toxic Demonized Sea Anemone is produced. Do you wish to recruit it? Oh, again? This Sea Anemone was really weird. It did not need gold coins or mineral resources. It only needed to absorb Undead air! Great! With more help, he felt more confident. If there was enough time, he wanted to position them in one circle around the Captain. With the silver moon in the sky and the fog over the Nether Sea was thick. In the Undead World, this was when all Undead beings were strongest. Under the moonlight, the seventh tentacle of the Sea Anemone was forming at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. This amazing speed was like the rapid growth of mushrooms after a rain. Da Fei was unsure if it was an animal or a plant. Perhaps as a plant, its ability to absorb moonlight was a huge advantage over animals since it was able to do something similar to photosynthesis. Renoir, whose HP had just fully restored, said in a low voice, "There are two this time. We''ll see if we can survive this wave!" ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! Two powerful enemies are approaching, please be alert! Da Fei''s heart tightened. Although he could not see them in the mist, two big red dots could be seen approaching them from both ends on the small map. There was no way. He could only do one thing¡ªblock their progress. Da Fei immediately directed the Hive to stop attacking and let the smaller monsters continue to swarm and surround the Captain. Then, two giant Undead Nagas that had dragon heads with snake tails appeared. When the Boss reached them, Da Fei immediately killed a small monster beside the small Sea Anemone, leaving a gap for one of the Bosses to be in position. Then, of course, the big Sea Anemone and the little Sea Anemone attacked the Boss together. The Sea Anemone now had seven tentacles and its combat power was naturally higher than before. As for the other Boss, it was left idling. His positioning this time was nothing more than just making sure only one Boss could approach the Captain. When the big Sea Anemone attacked the Boss, the other Boss could not stay idle and began to attack the big Sea Anemone! What the heck! The Boss'' intelligence was indeed different! Da Fei immediately rushed toward it and fired a shot at its back to draw aggro to himself. Then, he turned around and ran! In the game, no matter how slow the enemy''s Attack Speed, turning around in front of the enemy was akin to courting death. The time taken to turn was designed to be slower than the Attack Speed of most monsters. However, attacking from the back was different. When Da Fei turned around, the enemy also had to turn around, so it was okay. He did what he had done previously. He started running around the island again. He still had two coconuts, anyway. At this moment, the big Sea Anemone had achieved something. Seven rainbows were arched over the seven tentacles at the same time! Lucky Strike! After playing for such a long time, he finally got a Lucky Strike! A Lucky Strike dealt double the maximum Damage. A Sea Anemone''s maximum Catapult Damage was 3 times, a Lucky Strike would make it 6 times the Damage! Considering the Sea Anemone''s slow Attack Speed, a Lucky Strike was something extremely exciting! Boom! The Boss'' huge body fell down with a crash! In that instant, Da Fei was so excited that he shouted, "Captain!!! I must learn Luck Skill!!!" Right then, Da Fei thought of an infamous gambler''s famous saying: I do not ask for good luck and I do not want bad luck. I just need normal luck! Now, Da Fei had done everything he could. Lady Luck had cast her smile on him when he least expected it and victory was close! Da Fei lifted his head and let out a jubilant laugh. Needless to say, the second Boss also fell. They provided the Sea Anemone with nutrients to grow two new tentacles and nourished Da Fei to Level 14. The nine tentacles of the Sea Anemone were now fully grown. As a plant monster, the Sea Anemone could not move. It was extremely weak and a low-level Archer could easily defeat it. But as a plant monster, it had its own way of self-preservation. Its melee attack should be extremely powerful at least. So, the fiercer the monsters were, the more nourishment they gave, and the more EXP Da Fei got. He had already summoned two small Sea Anemones, and his attack force was at its peak. The silver moon set into the sea and the last Boss finally appeared. However, against Da Fei''s attacking force, he had no chance. Renoir said, "Adventurer, we have gotten through the worst. Not only was I not badly injured, but I also got to bask in the light of the glorious silver moon for an entire night. You have exceeded my expectations." Da Fei laughed and said, "You''re too kind. It''s the Sea Anemone that has exceeded my expectations." Speaking of which, if two players had teamed up as expected to get through the Sunken Ship, he would not have discovered the hidden Boss that only appeared after the tide went out. He would not have discovered the materials needed to build the hive. The players might have been able to build a hive, but it would be a malnourished one. It would not be Da Fei''s healthy specimen. Renoir nodded. "I appreciate your performance, but I have nothing to thank you with for now. I will give you my ship. When you get back, patch up the holes, replace the sails, and wait for the storm. When it comes, the winds will be strong enough to push the ship off the shallow bottom. You''re a natural seafarer, you will definitely make it in the storm!" Da Fei suddenly understood something! He finally knew why the examiner had sent him here! An ordinary player would not dare sail in a storm! Renoir said again, "I''m going to destroy the enchantment with all my strength. My soul will then be lodged in this sword of mine. Bring the sword with you, and when my strength recovers, I will appear again. I will help you fight the liar!" After that, the spiritual fire of the captain suddenly burned bright. The skeleton exploded and a shockwave from the sword swept across the island. Thunder roared in the sky and in the white nothingness of the sea, the scene changed. Da Fei was once again back on the deserted island with coconut trees against the blue sky and sea. A series of system messages appeared on the screen. Chapter 29:Rewards for the Trial I''m back? Da Fei felt like a long time had passed. Yes, I''m back. It''s a shame that my Sea Anemone Hive was left behind in the Undead World forever. I think I could''ve sold it for a couple hundred thousand dollars. Forget it, let''s look forward. ¡ªSystem Message: You completed Trial Quest, "Assist the Captain in Battle". You received 20,000 EXP. ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 15. You received 1 Assignable Attribute Point, 1 Skill Point, Health +2, Command Power +1. Additional Reward: Base Damage +1. ¡ªSystem Message: You received B-class Strategy Treasure, Captain''s Sword! ¡ªCaptain''s Sword: B-class Strategy Treasure, Quest Item. Attack +1, Defense +1, Damage +1, Attack Speed +1. All effects from the sword are doubled when used at sea. ¡ªSystem Message: You received the possession certificate for the large sailing ship. Da Fei laughed as he watched all the System Messages pop up! Strategy Treasure, the quest reward is a B-class Strategy Treasure! These were different from normal personal equipment. They were treasures that could boost the entire army. Furthermore, their equipment slot was separate from the normal gear. Hence, even if Da Fei was a Pikeman who could not use swords, he still could equip this treasure. The most common one on the market right now, and also the most hyped and overpriced item, was the C-class Strategy Treasure "Blood Claw Necklace". It only had one attribute, Troops Damage +1! That''s right. The same effect as Attack Skill sub-skill, "War Maniac". Players all knew how important +1 Damage was in the early game for those low-level troops with 1-4 Damage. This treasure had the same effect as a hero who leveled up ten times! A treasure could be labeled C-class just for +1 Damage. As for this Captain''s Sword, it doubled to +2 Damage when used at sea! Terrifying! If that boost was not limited to the oceans, this would definitely be A-class! As for the other attributes, they were like freebies. Good sword! Seriously good sword! It''s basically a god-tier weapon for low-level soldiers! This was a tiring night. Da Fei was fully satisfied as he equipped the longsword. Then, he excitedly checked his attributes. ¡­ Player''s Level: 15 Reputation: -160 (3 Kills) Attack: 10 (6 Assignable Attribute Points yet to be used) Defense: 4 (Broken Armor''s 3 Personal Defense points, Treasure''s 1 Strategic Defense point) Magic: 0 Knowledge: 0 Basic Damage: 7-9 (1-3 at spawn. Sea Anemone enchantment +1, Achievement +1, Reward from System every 5 levels, so +3 at Level 15, Captain''s Sword +1. Of course, only the +1 from Captain''s Sword can be applied to the entire army.) Health Points: 48 Attack Speed: Normal, 11. (Captain''s Sword +1) Movement Speed: 10 Morale: 1 Luck: 0 Command Power: 14 Stamina: 100 Skills: Elementary Nautical Skill, Advanced Reconnaissance Skill (Hidden Movement, Intelligence Gathering), Intermediate Study of the War Machines Skill (Master of Ballista), 6 unassigned Skill Points. ¡­ Da Fei felt very accomplished as he looked at his attributes. Then, he suddenly felt empty. After all, he was used to being able to kill a Level 4 soldier with one strike under the leadership of a powerful hero. Now that he had returned to his old self, he felt a little uncomfortable. Wait! This is the evil intent of the game developers! This temporary mission gives you a taste of what it''s like to be a high-level hero, so that you will be addicted and throw money at the game! Damn! I came here to earn money, not to spend! I won''t fall for this trap! It was time for him to look at his own ship now. ¡­ ¡ªPossession certificate for the large sailing ship. (Quest reward, untradeable) Original Name: St. Anthony (Changeable) Captain: Da Fei Ship Dimensions: Large, 4-mask 3-deck high-speed sailing ship. (Note: High-speed sailing ship, also known as clipper or tea-shipper. The ship''s body is narrow, and its load capacity is small. However, it has excellent upwind navigation capability. It is way faster than mainstream galleons. As for why sailing ships can sail upwind, complex aerodynamics concepts are involved. If you are interested, you can conduct your own research.) Ship Special Skill: God''s Blessing (Sailors'' Luck +2) Ship Freight Volume: 1,000 Units Minimum number of sailors needed: 30 (The ship''s normal capabilities cannot be unlocked if the crew number is less than that) Ship durability: 2357/3754 Time in use: 10 years. Ship Armor Defense: 80 Ship Speed: 10 (Note: In order to align with the speed settings of the different troops, the speed of ships will not be measured in "Knots". 10 here refers to a maximum sailing speed of 10m/s. In the sailing era, sailing ships have maximum speeds between 10 to 20 Knots. 1 Knot = 1.8km/h. 20 Knots equal to 10m/s. The hero''s Nautical Skill can further raise the ship''s maximum speed.) Sea God Insurance Level: 0 (Note: Ships are considered important and valuable possessions. A player will suffer great losses if his ship is sunk. Hence, there are insurance levels available in this game. In large cities with Sea God Temples, a player can make offerings to the Sea God in exchange for high-value insurance. Once the ship sinks, the Sea God''s powers can teleport the ship back to its original port. However, all cargo and sailors will be lost. At the same time, the ship''s max durability cap will decrease. In other words, the ship can be revived. Level 1 insurance will allow 1 revive. Level 2 insurance will allow 2 revives, so on and so forth.) Ship''s current conditions: Bottom of the ship is damaged, unable to sail. Cursed by bad luck (Sailors'' Luck -3) ¡­ Da Fei sighed. Finally, I got my ship ready. Turns out this ship can''t just be sailed away like that, you need this certificate. That makes sense though. Without a certificate, this will be an illegal ship, and the marines will probably confiscate it. Captain, you''re the best, you''ve given me a license. As the Captain now, I must inspect my own ship. There''s still an annoying guy onboard, right? Haha, I''m sorry, this ship is now my turf. He won''t be welcome here anymore. Especially that BOSS with the Magic Book. He can''t lay his hands on that. ¡­ In the corridors, Raging Sea of Blood was tirelessly slaughtering zombies. After a whole day of highly efficient fighting thanks to his Master-level sub-skill Cleave, Raging Sea of Blood leveled up to Level 10. He received another Basic Damage point reward from the System. It''s time to make a move on that BOSS now. If that trash didn''t distract me, I probably would''ve killed this BOSS already. Raging Sea of Blood angrily rushed towards the BOSS''s room. Suddenly, all the zombies disappeared! What''s going on? Did the BOSS stop summoning zombies? When Raging Sea of Blood arrived at the BOSS''s room, he was indeed no longer summoning zombies. This must be a cutscene triggered by progression in the game. That trash must''ve done something! He was deeply worried. However, he did not overthink things. Isn''t this BOSS useless if he can''t summon anything? I''ll get his Magic Book first! Raging Sea of Blood embraced all the curses against him and started slashing the ghost BOSS. The BOSS grew weak. Even though the Magic Book glowed and continuously sent magic power to heal him, it finally dimmed after a while. The BOSS could not stand up to this difference in strength! He could no longer heal! Haha, ran out of tricks, right?! As he was finally about to obtain the desired Magic Book, Raging Sea of Blood excitedly shouted, "Die!" Just then, Raging Sea of Blood felt a familiar numbing sensation from his butt! ¡ªSystem Message: You were attacked by player Da Fei''s hostile attack. You may counterattack! Raging Sea of Blood was stunned and turned around. Da Fei! Da Fei smiled sinisterly. "You''ve worked hard! Goodbye!" After another strike, Raging Sea of Blood cursed as he faded into a flash of white light again. ¡ªSystem Message: You have purposely launched a hostile attack against a player from the same faction as you, Raging Sea of Blood. Reputation -100. Humph, humph! This is my ship, so all the things here belong to me. Don''t even dream about stealing my boss. However, this loss of reputation really makes my heart ache. Da Fei was very different from the player he was a day ago. This dying BOSS did not suddenly regain all his HP. There was no more suspense in this duel. Perhaps, the destruction of the Cursed Space weakened him greatly. ¡ªSystem Message: You killed the Ghost of Doom. You received 250 EXP! You received "Markal''s Dark Magic Skill Book". You received the Ghost of Doom''s Soul Crystal. ¡ªSystem Message: You received the Ghost of Doom''s incomplete information. Da Fei was stunned! So little EXP? Is he not a BOSS? Dark Magic Skill Book? Not a Magic Book? What''s going on? Da Fei hurriedly checked his item bar. ¡ªMarkal''s Dark Magic Skill Book: Dark Magic Skill Book with Markal''s study notes. During Markal''s research into magic, this book inadvertently absorbed plenty of Markal''s meditation magic power. Now that the magic power has been used up, the Magic Book has turned into a normal Skill Book. You can spend 1 Skill Point to learn the Elementary Dark Magic Skill. ¡ªElementary Dark Magic Skill: Able to learn and use Level 1 Dark Magic ¡ªGhost of Doom''s Soul Crystal: Unknown item. Cough! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of blood! I knew it. How can this kind of advanced Strategy Treasure appear in a Beginner''s Village with a small ghost?! So it''s actually just a boosted Skill Book! In other words, all the magic power has been wasted by this little ghost? So, under normal circumstances, players should have cooperated to take down this little ghost together and preserved the magic power of this Magic Book, so that they can take on the BOSSes later? Sigh, if I knew this, I wouldn''t have had to worry about this book falling into Raging Sea of Blood''s hands. I worried for nothing. However, what''s going on with this Ghost of Doom? Wasn''t it still an Evil Spirit back then? From the incomplete Information Card, it seems slightly stronger than a normal Evil Spirit. Is it an upgraded form of an Evil Spirit? Elite troops like Evil Spirits can still continue to upgrade? What is this Unknown Item, Soul Crystal? Quest Item? Forget it, I won''t worry about these strange Undead creatures. The important thing is that even common items like Skill Books can have special editions. That''s worth looking into. Da Fei flipped to the first page of the book with interest. ¡ªLife is unexpected, full of chaos, filth, and pain. Death means tranquility, eternity and orderly beauty! What the heck. This opening is so different! Continue to flip! Oh yeah, so many words! Does this Markal like to doodle on his books? ¡ªLife follows God''s law of creation. It''s relatively perfect, but its growth is also destined to be limited. On the other hand, the Undead possess the possibility of infinite growth. Zombies and Ghosts are the purest representatives of the Undead corpses and souls, respectively. They''re also the Undead races that are most likely to produce their own leader units. Until now, no sorcerers have been able to manually create an Undead Leader Unit. This is because the sorcerers have little knowledge about the Undead''s evolution from common units to leader units. In my opinion, this is not a simple process. Instead, it will span many different stages. ¡ªIronically, legendary heroes from the Elf Race had been able to train ordinary human archers and elf archers into powerful phantom archers. These elves had been mocked and despised by sorcerers for their lack of room to grow. However, they had been able to cross the boundaries between different organisms and species in these trainings. Hence, it''s obvious that, for both the living and the Undead, we''re all governed by God. We''re still elementary school kids in this field. We should be more cautious and respectful. I want to start my experiments from the simplest Zombies and Ghosts. Da Fei''s eyes widened! This Markal had great ambitions. His goal was to manufacture BOSSes in bulk? In other words, all those zombie BOSSes in the cabins were produced by him? Could this book provide information about another god-tier Skill? Just then¡ª"F**k you!" Raging Sea of Blood''s angry cursing could be heard. Da Fei put down his book and took a look. That''s right, that guy couldn''t even wait until his Weakened State wore off before climbing on board to seek his revenge. Did he turn stupid or insane because of his anger? Chapter 30:Cost to Leave the Deserted Island Raging Sea of Blood was so angry that he lost his mind. When Raging Sea of Blood was ambushed, he turned around and saw Da Fei''s level. Level 15! Within one day in the game, or two hours in real-time, this trash went from Level 10 to Level 15! His pace was faster than all the known pros'' in this game. And all that was because this trash stole the Godly Hero Trial Mission that belonged to me! I have been killed four times in a row by him. The Magic Book is also in his hands now. I completely lost my chance to turn this around. I''m utterly defeated. Apart from my level, I received nothing here! The Trial Quest for the Godly Hero is a joke now. Raging Sea of Blood made a tough decision. Since that''s the case. I won''t even care about my rank! This trash is already a Red Name. Then, I''ll make sure he stays red for his entire life so that he''ll be hunted forever! I''ll make this trash''s life unbearable in this game! Hence, Raging Sea of Blood no longer cared about his Weakened State after respawning. Instead, he immediately rushed onto the ship to seek his revenge. It did not matter even if he dropped to Level 0, as the level was not really the main price factor before novices hit Level 10. ¡­ Da Fei had nothing to say to the angered Raging Sea of Blood and took care of him with a few strikes. Based on their respective current strengths, Raging Sea of Blood stood no chance against Da Fei even in his normal state, let alone his Weakened State. This proved the saying, "Every dog has its day". As for Da Fei, killing someone in this game was simple and normal to him, like eating a meal. He felt like nothing happened and quickly started checking this room, which was likely where Markal previously stayed. Unfortunately, there were no more equipment and Skill Books, not even a single piece of paper left. None of the pots and bottles mentioned in the Artillery Chief''s diary were in sight. Forget it. A Skill Book is good enough. After all, this is a Beginner''s Village. Maybe this book was just accidentally left behind when he was leaving? I''ll go repair the ship first. Da Fei headed to the cabin on the first level. As he was carrying the wood required, Raging Sea of Blood came screaming and running at him again. F**k! ¡ªSystem Message: You have purposely launched a hostile attack against a player from the same faction as you, Raging Sea of Blood. Reputation -90. Oi oi oi! Something''s wrong! This guy is doing it on purpose, right? Soon, Raging Sea of Blood came running again. What the heck. That''s right. He''s definitely doing it on purpose! He knows that it''s easy for novices to level up, so he''s sacrificing himself in exchange for my Reputation. Da Fei panicked. "I mean, is this really necessary?" Raging Sea of Blood said angrily, "I told you. Even if I can''t play with this account anymore, I can sell it for a couple million dollars anytime I want. Hence, I can do whatever I want!" Da Fei sighed. "Oh yeah. Your account is worth a few million dollars, that''s why I don''t feel bad about stealing your stuff. Hence, you should sell your account as soon as possible." Raging Sea of Blood laughed. "Even if I have to sell this account, I won''t let you off easy. I''m not done with you until you make me a Level 0! Even if you do kill me off to a Level 0, I still won''t let you go. Wahahahaha!" Da Fei was so angry that his testicles almost exploded. "You''re insane. I''ll cure you of your sickness!" Raging Sea of Blood tirelessly tried to annoy Da Fei. When he saw Da Fei carrying building equipment, he started stealing Da Fei''s materials in order to force Da Fei to hunt him down. Da Fei never felt pressured to kill someone in a game, until now. He could not remember how many times he had killed Raging Sea of Blood. His Reputation was heading for the -1,000 mark and he gloriously received the title "Villain"! Your reputation can freefall easily, but it''s hard to build back up. Furthermore, they were not done yet! Raging Sea of Blood appeared to be enjoying the process! Da Fei speechlessly looked at the sky with tears in his eyes. I''m not afraid of idiots, I''m afraid of lunatics. I must''ve spent too many years on online games feeding my internet addiction in the past. The God of Online Games is sending this lunatic here to punish me! I admit my mistakes, okay?! A day went by just like that. The progress on repairing the ship moved extremely slowly. On the next day, or the seventh day in the game, Raging Sea of Blood was finally tired. His seven days'' worth of food and water supplies from the initial spawn were exhausted. Because of his Weakened State (Hunger) and Weakened State (Death), he was moving at a crawling pace. Thank God. Da Fei finally had the time and energy to repair the hole in the ship. Da Fei laughed and said, "I mean, we''ve been going at it the whole night, right? Are you not going to eat breakfast?" Raging Sea of Blood laughed. "You''re hungry so you want to eat shit, right? Go ahead. Once you leave, I''ll dismantle your broken ship!" What the heck! Karma! Da Fei made a decision. "Since you want to die so badly, I''ll satisfy your wish!" Raging Sea of Blood laughed. "Kill me, kill me, kill me! If you don''t kill me, you''re my son!" By then, Raging Sea of Blood ordered a food delivery and Da Fei asked the shop downstairs to deliver some dumplings. After they stuffed their bellies, they continued to fight. Another two days in the game passed by. Raging Sea of Blood was already at Level 0. Da Fei''s Reputation also broke through the -3,000 mark and he honorably received the title, "Notorious"! Finally, Da Fei kicked off the troublemaking lunatic and put the new sail on the ship. ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You repaired St. Anthony High-Speed Sailing Ship! You received 10,000 EXP. Repaired. Finally repaired! Not easy. Really not easy. Da Fei was so excited that tears streamed down his face. God of Games! Please, give me a storm! Let the storm rage on! I can''t deal with this trash any longer! As if someone heard his prayers, or perhaps it was because the game''s progression was automatically triggered because the ship was repaired, dark clouds suddenly gathered above him. Everything around him turned dark. Raging winds and surging waves were seen! Coming! Big winds are here! Da Fei immediately controlled the sails to aim for the wind''s direction. Boom! The sails expanded and the ship suddenly moved. The ship moved! Da Fei excitedly adjusted the directions of the other three sails. The ship slowly moved off. Wahahaha, I''m about to get out of this shallow beach! Can I operate such a huge ship by myself? Of course, even if nobody was controlling it, it could still drift across the entire world. Da Fei was finally relaxed now. He walked to the stern and raised his middle finger viciously at Raging Sea of Blood, who was staring at him from the island! F**k you, can you get back? I won''t bring you along. Go sell your account now. Raging Sea of Blood was indeed shocked. Although he knew that Da Fei had possession of the ship because of how hard he worked to repair and protect the ship, it still shocked him to see the ship set sail! What did it mean for a novice to obtain such a huge ship at an early stage in the game like this? In the game, you can receive EXP for all kinds of activities such as killing monsters, digging mines, studying, or trading as a merchant. With such a huge ship, his load capacity is dozens of times larger than an ordinary player''s. Then, if he conducts a successful trade, wouldn''t his EXP received be dozens of times of a normal player''s? Just then¡­ ¡ªSystem Message: Very sorry! You failed your Trial Mission! You will be teleported back to the Hall of Destiny. The scene changed, and Raging Sea of Blood returned to the magnificent and solemn Hall of Destiny. I see. Once you fail, you will return to this place. I thought I would have to wait on the deserted island for my brothers to come pick me up. He saw the same winged angel examiner, who mocked him by saying, "When you''re blinded by greed and ephemeral profits, you will lose many opportunities. Luckily, you came to your senses and realized your inadequacies before transferring your Trial opportunity to someone stronger. I''m shocked and somewhat touched by your selfless sacrifice. Then, I''ll allow you to start over as an ordinary person. Haha, wahahahaha¡­" Raging Sea of Blood endured the ridicule from the entire hall. Then, the scenery around him changed and he appeared in a crowded city plaza. All my benefits were stolen from me, yet he called it a selfless sacrifice? Raging Sea of Blood was so angry that he could only laugh now! He was unwilling to accept reality, yet he was so helpless. Suddenly, Raging Sea of Blood felt like this game was so boring and dreadful. Just then, Raging Sea of Blood heard his phone ring. There were a lot of missed calls. They were from Xiao Ma and Brother Tian! I guess I forgot to check my phone when I was busy fighting just now. "Hello? Bro? Are you finally awake? We''re at Level 8 now!" Raging Sea of Blood felt touched. These caring brothers were the most important people in his life! Yep, I can''t let that bastard get off so easily. I will hunt him down across the entire server! I''ll pull out the game records and upload them on the official forum! His name will be tarnished. No players will want to trade with him! I''ll do everything I can to screw him up! Raging Sea of Blood laughed. "Come. Let me lead you¡­" "F**k off. Level 0 leading me, Level 8?!" "Do you believe that I can f**k you up as a Level 0?" "I''ll bet against that! If you lose, let me f**k your girl!" "F**k off!" Chapter 31:Drifting After the Storm The winds howled and the waves rose. The entire world was dark. The dark storm crowds burned over the sea like turquoise flames. The sea grasped the lightning and extinguished them in the depth of its trenches. Giant waves roared, spewing angry foams. It viciously threw the sailing ship into the tip of the waves, then down into the troughs. Roaring thunder, the hymn of the sailors! Fierce winds, the passion of the sailors! We live between the waves and the winds. Let us set sail in this turbulent storm! Alright, fine, I''m being artistic. Those who dare to set sail in this storm are asking for death! After Da Fei''s sailing ship successfully got off the shallows, it sped like a Formula 1 Powerboat. However, the sudden change in the wind caused the ship''s body to tilt heavily, almost capsizing. Da Fei was alone on the ship and had no time to adjust the sails. Hence, he could only take out the firefighting ax and forcefully lower the sails by cutting the ropes. Then, he immediately ran to the helm. However, things were not finished yet. ¡ªSystem Message: Leak observed at the bottom cabin. Please repair the ship immediately with available resources and drain the water with emergency hanging buckets. ¡ªSystem Message: Wooden material on the starboard quarter of the ship has fractured. Ship durability -55. Please repair the ship immediately with available resources. ¡ªSystem Message: Mast number two lost its sail. Please replenish the canvas as soon as possible. ¡ªSystem Message: Rivets for the additional armor on the port of the ship detached. Armor plates lost. Port Defense -48. ¡­ What the heck! You want to kill me, the lone captain! Da Fei ran around attending to emergencies during the turbulence. This ship could not be sailed by one person alone. Just then, Da Fei''s talent icon, Storm Voyager, glowed brightly as well. This represented that the player''s special ability had been activated. As the icon glowed, Da Fei continuously gained EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You fought against the storm and gained 1,000 EXP. ¡ªSystem Message: You fought against the storm and gained 1,000 EXP. Gain! Continue to gain! How can fighting monsters be compared to this? I''m using all my resources to fight against the sky and the sea! These are different levels of challenges! There''s no reason not to give me EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You repaired the leak on the side of the ship. You gained 600 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You reinforced the fracturing ship''s body. You gained 500 EXP! Not bad. I can gain EXP without fighting any monsters. Sailing isn''t that boring, after all. Just then, another huge noise was heard as a giant wave crashed into the ship. Da Fei suddenly felt the ship sink before feeling extremely light. He felt like he was flying! ¡ªBoom! The ship had a rough landing. All the items in the cabins rolled around. Da Fei lost his footing and slammed into the wall. "-25!" What the heck! You can die like this! ¡ªSystem Message: Warning! Ship''s rudders have been destroyed by the huge waves. No longer able to control the ship''s direction. Ship''s max durability cap -300 points. ¡ªSystem Message: Wooden material on the port bow of the ship has fractured. Ship durability -130. Please repair the ship immediately with available resources. What the heck! How do I fix a broken rudder? That thing''s behind the ship and underwater? Forget it. My talent only increases the safety of my ships in storms. It doesn''t guarantee that I won''t sink. I can only pray that I won''t sink now. I''ll try my best to save whatever I can. Time slowly ticked by. Da Fei''s ship was like a piece of duckweed floating on the ocean. It drifted precariously with the waves. The sea was scarier than any BOSS Da Fei had faced. In front of the sea, a mortal''s strength appeared tiny and insignificant. With a flash of golden light, Da Fei, whose stamina had turned red due to the exhaustion from fixing the ship, finally leveled up! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 16! You received 1 Assignable Attribute point, 1 Skill Point, Health +2, Command Power +1. Just in time! My Health and Stamina are both full now. I think I can fight for another thirty minutes! ¡­ Finally, the roaring winds subsided and the dark clouds dispersed. The storm was over. The blue sky and ocean appeared again, with a beautiful rainbow bridging the two together. ¡ªSystem Message: Drainage Channels on the deck collected 1 unit of freshwater. ¡ªSystem Message: Ship body heavily damaged. Unable to sail normally. Currently in drifting conditions. Da Fei sighed deeply. Then, he inspected the ship''s status. Original Name: St. Anthony (Changeable) Captain: Da Fei Ship Special Skill: God''s Blessing (Sailors'' Luck +2) Ship Freight Volume: 1,000 Units Time in use: 10 years Minimum number of sailors needed: 30 Ship durability: 857/1690 Movement Speed: 10 Ship Armor Defense: Port 32, Starboard 80. Sea God Insurance Level: 0 (Ship is not protected by the Sea God. If an accident occurs, it will remain sunken forever.) Ship''s current conditions: Rudders destroyed, unable to steer in any direction. Sails destroyed. Additional armor on the port of the ship detached. Cursed by bad luck (Sailor''s Luck -3). Da Fei sighed again. This was already an old ship. It lost so much durability again just like this. It seems like this ship won''t last that long. I guess the System wasn''t so kind as to gift a huge ship so generously to a novice, right? However, I wonder if that Sea God Insurance will help extend this ship''s lifespan? That Sea God Insurance is pretty expensive, right? Unless this is a top-tier ship, isn''t it more worthwhile to just invest in a new ship? However, I don''t even have money to fix this ship, let alone buy a new one. What can I do? Forget it, I won''t worry about it. This challenge is over now. It''s time to give the ship a new name. I''ll name it, Flying Brother Fei? Brother Fei''s Flight? Brother Fei''s Shit? Forget it. I''ll just name it SV Fly. [Note: SV stands for Sailing Vessel.] It''s more artistic. ¡ªSystem Message: You renamed St. Anthony to SV Fly. What now? I''ll hang up the sails again. Then, where''s the freshwater collected? 1 unit is 100 portions. It''s enough for me to drink for 100 days. I''ll be fine as long as I have water. What next? Where am I? Da Fei took out his binoculars. All that he could see was water. Coordinates (???, ???)! What the heck. No coordinates! That''s right. You need tools like a geomantic compass and a sextant to sail properly. Otherwise, you''ll just be sailing blindly. Where''s the compass? Captain''s Room? Yes! I''ve checked all the rooms except for the Captain''s room. Now that I''m the captain, of course I can enter the Captain''s Room. Da Fei arrived at the Captain''s Room on level two and discovered another room next to it. The door was already broken. Which officer''s room was this? Da Fei entered and saw items scattered across the floor. This is? Can it be Juan''s room? Da Fei was interested and started tidying the place up. There were all kinds of items and yellowed pieces of paper. That''s right. This is Juan''s room. The handwriting on these pages is exactly the same as the one in the journal. Speaking of which, this guy already gave me a Strategy Treasure, the binoculars. He''s probably out of goods, right? No, no, no. He still has a 15-year-old daughter called Serbia! All these are her inheritance. I need to keep these well and pass them to her later. She will look at the items and miss her father. Then, she''ll ask me to be her godfather! Wahahaha, Uncle Juan, please don''t worry. I got this. Da Fei packed all the small items on the floor and in the drawers¡ªEh? What''s this? A flute? No attributes? This flute has a strange design. Its design is so quaint, so, so artistic, so unique? Hm, unique is good. The little girl will recognize it immediately. Alright, I''ll choose this as the representation. He could not find anything else in this room, so Da Fei returned to the Captain''s Room and touched the door handle. ¡ªSystem Message: Are you entering the Captain''s Room? Look at that, there''s a System Message. Do you understand how special the Captain''s Room is compared to everywhere else? Nothing to say. Enter! The scene changed and Da Fei appeared in a narrow room. Seems like the Captain''s Room exists as a separate transcript. No matter how good of a thief you are, you still won''t be able to enter with such a setting. The Captain''s Room was not much more luxurious than the other officers'' rooms. There was a 3D model of the globe on the table, as well as a set of binoculars and a huge compass. There was also a well-ironed Captain''s uniform with black-and-white trims. Haha! No wonder he''s the Captain! There''s good stuff here! I have two binoculars now! However, this makes sense. If a normal player completed this trial, it''s quite difficult for him to discover the seafarer''s binoculars. Hence, the game must compensate you with one here. After all, binoculars are a necessity for sea voyages. Alright, this is at least a C-class treasure, I can sell it for a few thousand gold coins to act as capital for my ship repair fees. I''m in desperate need of money. Da Fei then checked the two remaining items. ¡ªNew World Astrology Instrument: Equipment to record the New World''s astrology. Able to locate the ship''s coordinates when sailing in the New World. Usage Requirement: Learn Nautical Skill sub-skill, Measurement Skill. Oh! High class! This is a coordinate instrument for the New World. No wonder he''s the Captain! ¡ªGeomantic Compass: Able to locate a ship''s coordinates at sea. Usage Requirement: Learn Nautical Skill sub-skill, Measurement Skill. Even though he found the geomantic compass, Da Fei found this whole thing a hassle. Things like the Measurement Skill should be given to an NPC officer, right? You can find an NPC sailor who possesses the Measurement Skill in any random port or bar. I''m a Captain, but I have to spend a precious Skill Point on such a simple Measurement Skill? Even though I''ve saved up 7 Skill Points from Level 9 to Level 16, I can''t just waste it like this! I can promise that this Measurement Skill is the worst sub-skill in this entire game. I really don''t want to learn this. Furthermore, the ship is already in such a horrible condition. Apart from drifting with the waves, I can''t do anything else. So what if I know the coordinates? Hence, Da Fei finally found a reason not to learn the skill. Drifting it is. I will drift to someplace with people around. Then¡­ then we''ll see how things go. It''s best if I can be discovered by marines from the Light factions. I''ll just call for help, and everything can be resolved from there. As for now, I have to continue exploring the Captain''s Room. As expected, a golden book was on the bookshelf! Nautical Skill! Eh, I already have one on me. I can only sell this later. ¡ªSystem Message: You received Renoir''s Nautical Skill Book! ¡ªRenoir''s Nautical Skill Book: Spend 1 Skill Book to learn Elementary Nautical Skill! ¡ªSystem Message: You have already learned the Nautical Skill Book. Unable to use this Skill Book. Da Fei was stunned! Another special edition Skill Book! So the biggest reward from this Trial Mission isn''t this old and damaged ship, but the research material once belonging to these experts from the past? I have nothing else to do now except for drifting, so I''ll focus on studying these God-tier Skills first. ¡­ Da Fei did not know that, at this time, a post titled "Trash Player Da Fei maliciously ambushes Godly Hero Raging Sea of Blood until Level 0. With Videos, With Death Records, With Truth" had started trending on the largest national Hero Forum. Raging Sea of Blood, the Godly Hero who already appeared on television once before, became famous again. Da Fei, thanks to him, also became famous. (Author''s Note: Sailing ships are not like modern cruises with tall buildings above deck. Sailing ships'' higher levels are usually built at the bow and stern of the ships, not exceeding three levels. Otherwise, the center of gravity will be too high, and ships will easily capsize. At the same time, it will be difficult for ships to sail upwind.) Chapter 32:Dragon Slayers Guild The post showing the Godly Hero Raging Sea of Blood from the China Server being dominated by an ordinary Pikeman until Level 0 caught countless players'' attention on the online forum. Although Raging Sea of Blood did not like exposing his own failure, this was the fastest and most efficient way to become famous internationally nowadays. Good things rarely got noticed, but scandals gained notoriety quickly. Becoming famous would also help the newly established Blood Sea Studio gain recognition and obtain their revenge. After they saw the post, Raging Sea of Blood''s three close brothers finally found out about all the events that took place yesterday. Erm, they had no idea what expression to respond to this with? Even the Hero News agency reacted quickly to this shocking event. After all, the Hero News always had to stay ahead of the curve. Host: "Hello, everyone. We will now be playing a clip of the latest news. There has been an unfortunate PK incident in our China server. This event has caused some negative influence to the Chinese players'' international image. Let us now call Captain Jiang from the Chinese Star Team. He will be able to explain the interesting paralytic toxin shown in the clip¡ªhello! Captain Jiang, hello!" Captain Jiang: "Hello, host. Hello, everyone." Host: "Based on the video footage and battle records provided by the victim, this paralytic toxin has the effect to interrupt the opponents'' movement. Does that mean that those with lower Attack Speeds will never be able to land their strikes?" Captain Jiang: "Let''s take that player Da Fei''s Pikeman as an example. Pikemen''s Attack Speed is 10. Theoretically, if his opponent''s Attack Speed is lower than 5, in other words, if he can land two strikes before the opponent lands their first, then the opponent will really never be able to attack at all. However, even Zombies in this game have an Attack Speed of 6. It''s hard to find an even slower troop type than Zombies. Hence, it''s extremely rare for players to be completely unable to land any strikes." Host: "However, in a typical battle, even one interruption can usually determine the outcome, right?" Captain Jiang nodded. "Indeed. However, we can be certain that this paralytic toxin is an extremely rare weapon enchantment. It will not be mass-produced for entire armies. Hence, its effect on large-scale battles will be limited. Furthermore, players need not be overly concerned. Regardless of whether the toxins are from Zombies or any other types, players will be able to guard against the special effects of paralytic toxins as long as they are equipped with toxin-resistant gear. You can obtain such gear at the Alchemist Guild in many main cities¡­" ¡­ At the same time, at the Dragon Slayer Internet Entertainment Company, one of the top three E-Sports clubs in China, and also headquarters of the Dragon Slayer Guild, one of the top three online gaming Guilds in China. CEO of the company, Ma Yinglong, frowned as he watched this edition of the Hero News. He looked very depressed. "Star Team! Star Team! No matter what happens, they have to ask Star Team! All day all night!" One of his assistants, Chang Liang, said with disdain, "The game servers have just been opened for four days. We don''t even know if they''ll be the first to form a Guild in this game. Big bro, don''t worry, we will train hard and become the number one Guild in the China server." Ma Yinglong nodded. "Good. We must put in all our effort to become the first to form a Guild. This game is different from the previous ones. This is an international game. Whoever forms a Guild first will be represented internationally. That''s crucial for our company and our Guild''s profits. We must give it our all this time." Chang Liang nodded. "Big brother, don''t worry. Oh right, this Raging Sea of Blood seems to have a lot of potential. Should we try to pull him over?" Ma Yinglong said calmly, "Sure, it''ll be good if he''s willing to come. At the very minimum, we must have a good partnership." Chang Liang immediately replied, "Alright, I''ll ask someone to, ah no, I''ll personally think of a way to contact him." Ma Yinglong smiled and said, "Thanks for working hard." Ma Yinglong was the Guild Master of the Dragon Slayer Guild. His game ID was Dragon Scale. It had been many years since he last played a game, as he had been focused on running the company. Chang Liang was groomed by Ma Yinglong to be his successor. He was the number one player in the entire Dragon Slayer Guild. His Game ID was Dragon Fang. He was one of the most famous professional eSports gamers in Chinese history. This edition of the Hero News brought up some unpleasant, or rather, painful, memories for him. Da Fei! That scum who made him so angry! There were many people with the same names on the internet. Whether this Da Fei was the same person as the one back then was impossible to confirm, and also unimportant. The scum was the person who dragged the Dragon Slayer Guild off the number one Guild position in China. That gave Star Team and Ninth Heaven the opportunity to rise up and form the three-Guild situation now. Furthermore, Star Team already overtook Dragon Slayer in multiple areas, and it was slowly becoming the number one Guild in China. Many years ago, Ma Yinglong was just a young punk playing truant and pulling all-nighters in the internet cafe. He was passionate about online games. Not only were his skills superb, but he also had an incredible tactical view and great vocal command abilities. That was how he gathered his first bunch of close friends. Then started their own groups and played for equipment to sell, living comfortable lives. They could play the games that they enjoyed and still earn a few times of what others were making while working normal jobs. Where else could they find such a great opportunity? Hence, they all joined Brother Long''s team! Hence, Ma Yinglong''s offline team "Dragon Slayer" Guild''s website was officially created. This team would go into any and all games that were fun and had opportunities to make money. Then, the Guild grew bigger in size and more sub-guilds were formed. In the end, the Dragon Slayer Guild''s movement became an indicator of a game''s popularity. It could even decide whether a game lived or failed! At this stage, huge profits soon followed. The Dragon Slayer Guild became a target for all major game development companies to pander to. They were no longer involved in a child''s play like fighting for equipment to sell off. That year, a game called "Underlords" was released. The Dragon Slayer Guild was invited to join the game for a high reward by the developers. And it was that year when the Dragon Slayer Guild met a scum called Da Fei. He first stole the Guild Master, Dragon Scale''s BOSS-level pet tiger in the Beginner''s Village. Then, he used the pet freely to dominate the game. The Dragon Slayer Guild activated plenty of low-level players to surround and chase him. However, he was not done. After that, the Dragon Slayer Guild tried to become the first to form a Guild in the game. With the majority of the players being too low-level to form a Guild, they tried to forcefully kill a BOSS and acquire a Guild Order from the drop. However, in the most critical moment of the battle, that scum Da Fei rushed out and brought about the demise of the entire Guild. He then stole the kill on the heavily injured BOSS and also took the Guild Order away. The worst part was that this scum even registered the "Dragon Slayer" Guild name first! Even their signboard was stolen. This fiasco resulted in a heavy hit on the Dragon Slayer Guild''s reputation. In order to save their reputation, Dragon Scale swallowed his pride and sent someone to talk to this Da Fei privately. They offered to spend some money to buy back the Guild. However, this Da Fei was completely uncooperative! He did not trust the Dragon Slayer Guild''s kind will! Furthermore, he went one step further and recruited the most immoral and dishonest players on the entire server into the Guild. They went around to challenge others and used the excuse of "treating internet addiction" to ruin the Dragon Slayer Guild''s reputation. The entire atmosphere of the game was destroyed. In the end, "Underlords" faded away. Dragon Slayer Guild also went on a decline. Star Team and Ninth Heaven rose up and formed the three-Guild stalemate situation. Doing business was different from playing games. In games, you could respawn and try again if you failed at fighting a BOSS. When doing business, one mistake could lead to countless others. After that incident, Ma Yinglong became more cautious and mature. Mistakes could make you grow too. And now, this international game, Hero Genesis, was a huge deal to them. This time, Dragon Slayer Guild would unite all forces they possibly could and aim for the top again! As Ma Yinglong was thinking, his secretary appeared and whispered into his ear, "Boss, President Igarashi wants to meet you personally for a talk." Ma Yinglong frowned and sighed. "Sure. Arrange a time. I''m always available. Remember, this is top-secret. Even Chang Liang cannot know about this." "Understood." Chapter 33:Strategy for the Epic Mission ¡ªAs an excellent voyager, mastering the battle and adventure skills are never enough. The ocean is unknown territory to humans. We are so tiny and insignificant in front of the ocean. Our knowledge and skills will never be enough. ¡ªIt''s boring to face the same view every day and every second as a sailor. However, only the most excellent voyagers can make the biggest discoveries in these seemingly familiar environments. The truth is often hidden in familiarity. Da Fei flipped through this Nautical Skill Book from Renoir. Apart from the seemingly inspirational quotes on the first and last pages of the book, there were no other annotations. It was the same as the one Da Fei was carrying. This made Da Fei very puzzled. Could it be that Renoir''s two sentences made the book a special edition one? Like how an elementary school child would mark out his own textbook? This is a little unreliable, right? The items have strict settings in this game. Is there something more to this? Da Fei pulled out Markal''s Skill Book to compare the two. They are both books labeled by name. However, look at how many annotations there are in Markal''s book! Look at that, here''s one: ¡ªThe closer I get to God, the smaller I feel. What the heck! He''s close to God? I guess that makes sense. He can chase away a Level 8 Leviathan with one fireball, and he''s the most powerful one in the Undead realm apart from the Death God. He has great political power, unbelievable special abilities, a great reputation, God-level strength, and is also a cunning conspirator. Am I really going against him for my Epic-level mission? I''m not worried about prideful opponents. The humble ones are the scary ones! I have no chance at this? Da Fei continued to flip through the book and encountered some incomprehensible magic symbols. The System did not indicate any God-level Skills even after he flipped through the entire book. Something is obviously wrong! Juan''s journal containing information about the God-level skill might not be discoverable by the normal player. However, the Artillery Chief was a BOSS guarding a door on the ship. Even his journal contained information about the godly ballista. How could amazing people like Renoir and Markal not give any information in their books? Didn''t this Markal mention that he was going to mass-produce BOSSes artificially? Da Fei was even more confused. Wait! Normal people could not discover Juan''s corpse, right? In other words, normal players would not discover that this Markal was a huge conspirator after completing this Trial, right? How will this mission continue under normal circumstances? Of course, you must finish the Artillery Chief''s unrealized dreams of finding Markal for the Phantom Ballista, right? This Black Magic Skill Book belonged to Markal too. After obtaining it, players should naturally return it to Markal in exchange for a reward, right? Oh right, what''s that final unknown item Soul Crystal you obtain from defeating the Ghost of Doom used for? It must be related to Markal too, right? You should hand it over to him for some kind of reward? In other words, regardless of whether he''s friend or foe, Markal is someone you have to face. Da Fei was suddenly enlightened! I understand now! This Markal is an unbeatable character for players, in terms of his political rank, power, intelligence, and personality. There was a reminder in the Epic-mission''s Mission Guide, "You can directly offer the journal to the Emperor, but you may be ignored by the Emperor because of his certain concerns." This shows that even the Emperor of the Lion Heart Empire fears Markal. In other words, even the NPC forces might not be a match for him. In reality, who would dare to touch him based on his reputation alone? Hence, Markal was designed to be an unbeatable existence? There was only one way to defeat someone like that. Gain his trust, then find the opportunity to screw him over! How many heroes and good men have died in the hands of their most trusted person? Usually, upon completion of this Trial, players would definitely search for him to join and follow, right? Hence, there was only one way to complete the Epic Mission, a curved approach to save the country! Therefore, I have to return the Artillery Chief''s journal, filled with flattery and passion, as well as the Black Magic Book and the Soul Crystal, all to Markal. I can then raise the affinity with the NPC and gain his trust. Then, I''ll slowly work into his confidential core circle. Perhaps I might even get a shot at the Mithril Island? By then, I''ll be powerful with my own forces. I''ll offer the seafarer''s journal to the Emperor as a show of my loyalty. The Emperor will definitely think that I''m his most loyal servant. By then, I''ll have a foot in both camps and benefit from both sides at the same time! Haha! Wahahaha! I''m so insidious! This isn''t my fault. I was a kind person. This game messed me up. Games are bad for teenagers! Wahahah! Of course, games are still games, after all. These plans are all based on assumptions. I already accepted the Epic Mission to fight against Markal. How will the plot progress from here? What will happen once I meet him? Will he kill me instantly? Or will it be like a spy movie, where he doesn''t know anything? What the heck. I already accepted the mission to face him as an enemy. I don''t care if he kills me instantly. Anyways, I have to try something. Otherwise, I won''t be able to complete the mission. Once I get to a city, the first thing I''ll do is look for Markal. If I can lie and cheat my way to some reward, I''ll have the first sum of capital needed to fix my ship for my merchant business. Da Fei suddenly made sense of everything and was very relieved. He had a direction to go now in his future. However, he understood the deal with Markal, but not with the Captain. Must he wait to ask about it only when the Captain''s soul in the sword awakened? What the heck. When would that be? Da Fei flipped through the other books on the Captain''s bookshelf. They were mostly poems and maps. The Voyage Journal only contained normal safety sailing records. Da Fei did not find anything after a long search. In real life, he had been staying awake the whole night until noon now. He soon got sleepy and decided to log off for a nap. ¡ªSystem Message: Attention! You are in the Open Sea. Once you log off, your ship might encounter unknown threats. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, it is recommended to purchase the Mall Item, Sanctuary of God (Note: Player cannot log off in enemy territory.) ¡ªSanctuary of God: When a player''s hero logs off in the wild, the Sanctuary of God protects the player''s troops from being attacked. During this protection period, game time is stopped. Item Price: 20 credits. (Note: The larger the hero''s troops, the more expensive this item becomes.) What?! Logging off costs 20 dollars?! Why are you so f**king greedy?! Is my ship worth so much? Logging off was a huge inconvenience in Hero Genesis. Solo players could log off freely. However, those players with troops had serious issues. To summarize, troops would not log off together with players. Otherwise, logging off could become a tool used during ambushes. Hence, players with troops could only house their troops at different towns'' army camps. If they were in the wild with no towns around, they had to either assign a sub-hero to lead the troops or purchase this Mall Item, Sanctuary of God. The longer the duration and the more number of troops protected, the more expensive this item would be. In other words, only the rich could afford leading troops into battles. Chey, I''m a professional player here to earn money, not to donate to you. I won''t accept this. I''ll sleep while logged in! I''ll turn alarms and sirens on in the System Message and let the ship drift! It''ll be best if I wake up and find my ship drifted to the mainland. I don''t believe that some Leviathan will just pop up from this huge world and eat my ship. Furthermore, my ship is already in a horrible state. No matter what happens, I''m only a lone Captain. Anyways, I''ll let the heavens decide my fate. Then, Da Fei fell asleep with the helmet on. Chapter 34:Giant Tuna It was 6 PM when Da Fei woke up. Three days had passed in the game. Anyways, Da Fei was glad that everything was okay. He hurriedly ran downstairs to eat some fried rice and returned to the game. Then, he continued to stare blankly at the sea. The sea was calm and the sky was clear. Usually, seagulls would appear when the ship was near an island or landmass. However, nothing could be seen now. They were definitely at the center of the ocean. Although oceans were not that huge in the game, this was still a terrifying situation for floating refugees. When will I see the end? I have seven Skill Points. Should I use them all on Nautical Skill? That way, my Movement Speed will increase by 100% and it''ll do more work¡­ No, no! I must save my Skill Points for battles after I land. I''ll slowly defeat monsters and complete quests to earn repair fees for my ship. Sigh, so troublesome. There''s nothing good for me even after the Beginner''s Trial. Forget it, I can''t do much in such a Weakened State. Even though I''ve finished my portable 7-day rations, I still found some seafood on the beach to consume. Da Fei opened up the package and was completely shocked. ¡ªRotten Ingredients: Expired food ingredients. Upon consumption, players will exhibit food poisoning symptoms. What the heck! There''s such a thing as expiration dates in this game?! What should I do now? Only drink water? Chey! This won''t defeat me. Da Fei dragged his weak body slowly to the basement artillery cabin by propping himself up against the ball. He took out over a dozen fishing rods. Hehe, I found these accidentally that night in the pitch-black artillery cabin. It''s impossible for sailors not to have fishing rods. Furthermore, this slow drifting pace is the best for fishing. As for the bait, these expired ingredients will do. These fishing rods all had specially made hooks at the end of their handles to place onto the side of the ship. Hence, Da Fei lined up the rods along the deck and flipped through all the voyage journals out of boredom as he waited for fishes to take the bait. The System did not disappoint Da Fei. Within a day, all kinds of random fishes were caught by him. He could only eat them raw. The sailors even ate fleas to survive. Anyways, even though consuming food raw caused him to fall into a Weakened State with lowered damage, he was no longer starving. After drinking some water, even his Stamina recovered. Then, Da Fei was troubled again. He could only continue to fish. He really hated fishing. However, he would be alright with everything if he managed to find a floating bottle that could grant three of his wishes. He would also be okay with hooking a mermaid. Da Fei''s bait improved in quality. The small fishes became the bait. Then, the System did not disappoint Da Fei again. After a long while, a fishing rod shook. There was something! ¡ªSystem Message: You caught a swordfish! You gained 135 EXP! Eh? Fish that gives me EXP?! Big guy! I still remember that I couldn''t defeat these big fishes in the ocean back then! Da Fei finally found something fun to do. Hence, he used the scraps to hook small fishes, then used the small fishes to catch the medium fishes, and so it must work if he used the medium fishes to catch the big fishes, right? He was determined to see this through. Da Fei exhausted most of his Stamina and almost broke his fishing rod before reeling the half body-sized fish in. Then, he combined over a dozen fishing rods into one and tied them together. Afterward, he cruelly placed all of the fishing hooks into its body. Since I''m fishing for something big, my fishing line and hooks must be plentiful and durable. However, will a big fish really fall for this? These probably aren''t that reliable either, right? Da Fei thought for a while and found a huge bunch of spare thick cables used to tie up the sails. He wrapped them around the fish and tied the other side of the cables to the mast. This should work, right? Then, he threw the fish back into the ocean. However, I wonder if my random techniques will be recognized as fishing by the System? If not, isn''t this starting a fight against a BOSS? Fighting BOSSes? Actually, that''s my favorite. My ballista is hungry for some blood! Hence, Da Fei returned to the artillery cabin and spent ten minutes to reassemble the ballista. It was only left with 8 HP. However, it was fine. Things were different now. The cabin was the actual defense of the ballista. If the monster wanted to get rid of the ballista with 8 HP, it had to destroy the cabin first. I don''t believe a mere fish will be capable of that. Time passed by slowly. The sun rose and set. A day in-game, or two hours in real life, passed just like that. It seemed like it was difficult to encounter a predator that could consume such a huge bait in this game. Indeed, the System might not recognize this method of typing the fishing rods together, combined with reinforcement from spare cables, as a legitimate fishing method. Maybe that''s why nothing''s going for the bait? Whatever. I''ll drift slowly. Da Fei could not bear to read the daily diaries belonging to the normal sailors. The System did not place any interesting stories inside. The Captain''s journal was even more boring. It was filled with lectures. "An excellent voyager should be determined and focused. He should always be vigilant, blah blah blah." Are you running for the political commissar? This is nowhere near as interesting as the Artillery Chief''s one. Seems like those are all the clues I''m going to get from the journals. The night passed and a new day began. Da Fei stared blankly at the sunrise. During the first few days, this view might still feel beautiful and grand. However, it probably gets repetitive and dull really fast, driving people insane. For instance, those sailors in the Artillery Chief''s journal passed time only by playing cards. This occupation isn''t that easy to undertake, after all. Things might be better if there was a woman on board. What the heck, would that still be called a voyage? She would only exist as a personal bikini model on a rich person''s yacht, right? So enviable. If I become rich, I''ll recruit the prettiest female heroes in taverns and bring them onto the ship. I''ll buy the sexiest bikinis for them to wear and all my sailors will fantasize about them! Wahahaha! Da Fei lost track of time while daydreaming. Suddenly, the fishing rods hanging on the side of the ship started shaking. The fishing line went stiff with tension. Da Fei''s heart jumped. Was a big fish on the hook? He hurriedly looked over the railings. There were wild waves on the surface of the ocean! What the heck, it really is a huge fish! Don''t even think about reeling this kind of fish in. A huge fish like this that can swallow half a human in one bite is definitely worth a lot of EXP! Da Fei immediately ran to the artillery cabin. The ballista was fully loaded¡ªAim! Fire! Boom, boom! Two shots were fired and created giant splashes in the ocean¡ª"Missed!" "Missed!" What the heck! You can miss shots?! Oh right, the Artillery Chief complained about this in his journal. Nothing much I can say about this. Continue to reload! I''ll wait until it jumps above the water surface! ¡ªBoom! "-33!" "-21!" ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the Giant Tuna! Da Fei was invigorated. Giant Tuna? BOSS? Forget it. Continue to shoot. However, this damage fluctuates so much. Ballistas aren''t designed to fight against underwater creatures. Luckily, there are tens of fishing hooks digging into its throat. The more it struggles, the more HP it loses. "-2" "-3" "-2" "-3" Good! The battle lasted for over half an hour. A giant tuna over ten meters long was finally killed after a huge round of explosions. It turned over and revealed its belly as it floated to the water surface. ¡ªSystem Message: You killed a Giant Tuna! You obtained 20,000 EXP! You obtained item, "Tuna Roe". ¡ªSystem Message: System Message: You have solo-killed 10 Boss monsters that are of higher levels than yourself, you obtained the achievement "Lone Warrior 10 Victories in a Row". Health Points +15, Base Damage +1. The next achievement "Lone Warrior 100 Victories in a Row" will require you to kill 100 Boss monsters of higher levels than you without bringing any troops along. ¡ªSystem Message: You improved your information collected about the Giant Tuna! Da Fei laughed! He finally completed the achievement! Sailing isn''t actually that boring. I''m too tired to look at the exact details about this BOSS. It''s so rare to encounter BOSSes in the sea. Once is probably more than enough for my entire lifetime. Let me check out what this roe is. ¡ªTuna Roe: Sea product. Can be used to breed tuna in territories owned by players near the ocean. Tuna is a delicious large-sized type of seafood. It''s difficult to catch and wildly popular on the market. So it''s a territory specialty product! That''s good stuff. It''s difficult for players to become Lords of territories. It costs a lot of money to build armies and cities, but there aren''t many ways to earn money. The more specialty products we have, the more money I can make. I''ll just auction it off online. It''ll easily sell for a few hundred thousand dollars. I''ll be rich! Wahahaha! Sailing is the best! Wait, no no no, is it easy to encounter a BOSS on this vast ocean? Even if you do encounter one, killing it is even harder. Not everyone is as smart as me. Why do I have to sell this off? I''ll just take over an island at sea and build my own fishing farm. Won''t I be printing money? However, it''s difficult to build your own city. It requires a lot of upfront investment. Anyways, I''ll keep it with me for now and see how the market behaves. Just at this moment¡ª ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are large numbers of powerful enemies approaching, please be alert! Da Fei was stunned! Large numbers of enemies! He instantly pulled out his binoculars and saw a huge group of turquoise-black fins rushing toward him¡ªsharks! What the heck! After the tuna come the sharks? Is this the story of the Old Men and the Sea? Chapter 35:Da Fei and the Sea Once upon a time, there was a fishing village, and there was an old man known as the master of fishing. But because he had not caught a big fish for more than two decades, the villagers questioned his master title. Not able to stand the ridicule of the villagers, disregarding his old age, he rowed his boat alone to the sea. This may be the last time he went to sea. In the vast sea, with his understanding of the habits of fishes, the old man waited for many days. Finally, a huge tuna took the bait. The fish was almost as big as his boat, and it was so strong that it could unhook itself or even capsize the boat. The old man used his many years of experience to prevent it from escaping. The tuna also dragged the old man''s boat to sail on the sea for several days. This was a battle between strength and willpower. Finally, the old man succeeded and the tuna was killed. He tied the tuna to the side of the boat and returned triumphantly. On his way back, the bloody tuna attracted a large school of sharks. In order to preserve his catch, the exhausted old man raised the harpoon and resisted. In the end, he could not stop the sharks. The tuna''s flesh was all eaten up and only its bones were left. The old man took the bones and returned to the fishing village. Seeing that the old man had not returned for days, the villagers who thought the old man had died in the sea were taken aback. In short, the old man successfully defended the reputation of his title during his aged years! This was a world-known novel that even Da Fei was familiar with. Hemingway''s "The Old Man and the Sea." Now, in the face of the school of sharks, and remembering the plot of the novel which inspired his younger self, Da Fei burned with enthusiasm once again. He put out his middle finger and snorted. "I will make a name for myself. I''m going to write an autobiography ''Da Fei and the Sea!''" En, he just changed "The Old Man" into "Da Fei". Sharks were the top predator of the ocean, and their strength was equivalent to that of a Level 6 unit on the ground. It was not easily defeated. Without hesitation, Da Fei took out the Study of the War Machines and the golden lights flashed! ¡ªStudy of the War Machines: You used one Skill Point and learned Advanced Study of the War Machines! ¡ªStudy of the War Machines: You used one Skill Point and learned Expert Study of the War Machines! ¡ªStudy of the War Machines: You used one Skill Point and learned Master-level Study of the War Machines! Yeah! I graduated! Now, the Ballista attributes under the Master-level Study of the War Machines were: ¡ªAttack: 30, Defense: 30, Life: 8/600, Basic Damage: 6-7, Attack Speed: 5, Movement Speed: 1, Special Skill: Knock Back, Impale. And the total Damage of the Ballista = Basic Damage * Total Hero attributes. Da Fei was at Level 16 and had 15 total attributes. The total Damage of the Base Damage was 90-105! F**k! The Attack and Defense were the same as the Angel, but its Damage was twice of the Angel. And it could launch shots continuously! Da Fei was the Boss now! Wahahaha! The sharks swarmed toward the tuna. The long-prepared Da Fei shot twice, aiming at the sea! "-148!" "-132!" Two flying bolts flew to the back of the sea! "-148!" "-132!" The Damage, compared to the two-digit Damage caused when he killed two tuna earlier on was like comparing Heaven and Earth! This was the power leveling three times continuously! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed one shark and gained 2,550 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the shark. Da Fei''s eyelid twitched! This EXP! It was outrageously high. It was as good as a low-leveled Boss! ¡ªShark: Large creature. Attack: 35, Defense: 18, Damage: 25-55, Health: 280, Attack Speed: 7, Movement Speed: 12, EXP value: 2,550. Special Skill: Blood Tracking, Bloody Rage, Crippling Bite, Stun Strike, Tearing Wound, Marine Life. Sharks were known to be top predators in the sea. The difference between the Ballista''s Attack and its Defense was as high as 12 points. With a 60% on the Damage, the final Damage on the shark was 144-168. Once it showed its back on the surface of the water, it would kill in seconds without hesitation. From the data, the shark''s Attack, Defense, and Damage were between Level 6 and Level 7 units. However, its EXP was ridiculously high. In addition to its many Special Skills and fierceness, more importantly, it was "Marine Life." ¡ªMarine Life: Marine Life is well-versed in battle under the water. Abundant HP. The attributes of ground creatures would be implicitly reduced. Under this trade-off, it was almost impossible for ground creatures to defeat sharks in the water. In fact, this was the main reason why Da Fei could not defeat a single monster on the island. Taking into account this difficulty, the EXP from killing sharks was beyond imagination. In other words, one could get much more EXP leveling with sea creatures compared to ground creatures. Of course, more EXP = faster level-ups. From what Da Fei saw, the sharks were like a gift! In ordinary circumstances, sharks would avoid large ships. There was no chance for them at all. With the tuna as the bait, Da Fei did not even need to aim, he just loaded the Ballista desperately! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed one shark and gained 2,550 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed one shark and gained 2,550 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed one shark and gained 2,550 EXP! ¡­ Da Fei laughed excitedly. How much did sharks love tuna? The novel did not lie to me! This is great! This is great! It has to be great! I was stranded at sea and could not do anything for four or five days. It would be unreasonable if I was not given a chance to make up for the EXP! A golden light descended from the skies! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 17! You received 1 Assignable Attribute point, 1 Skill Point, Health +2, Command Power +1. Wahahaha! I leveled up! I had to! One shark gives 2,500 EXP, so ten sharks give 25,000 EXP, and there are still tens more to go. I can level up one more time! Haha! Wahahaha! As he loaded the Ballista again, Da Fei stepped on the trigger excitedly. At this moment, rainbow light flashed above Da Fei''s head. Then, a flash of black light dispersed the rainbow. ¡ªSystem Message: You were hit by Bad Luck status. The Damage of your Attack will be half of its lowest point! Da Fei''s laughter came to an abrupt stop. Bad Luck?! At this moment, the arrow shot out¡ª "-72!" "-72!" F**k! It did not die! What the heck, Da Fei''s ship had been "cursed by Bad Luck", -3 Luck. The ship came with +2 Luck, so its luck was now -1. That meant there was a 2% chance of being hit by the "Bad Luck" state. Only a 2% chance yet he was hit by it. He was too unlucky! At this moment, the shark that was attacked gave up going after the tuna and dashed toward Da Fei''s ship! Da Fei was dumbfounded! This can''t be! It''s going to hit the ship! Da Fei did not think that it would fight back when he was happily attacking it earlier. Was it because he was sitting so high up on the ship, or was it because he thought the sharks would only go after the tuna? No choice. This was a game, after all. In the game, Riflemen could even cause a tank to blow up, one shot at a time. It was not surprising that the shark would attack the ship. However, his ship was already full of holes, how could he let it hit the ship? The most important thing was, this was not like fighting on the ground. The area right below the ship was a blind spot for the Ballista! If it came close, the consequences would be disastrous! Da Fei anxiously loaded the Ballista. At this moment, the shark leaped through the waves! Its speed in the water was comparable to humans sprinting on land. ¡ªAim! Da Fei hurriedly adjusted the direction of the Ballista. Da Fei''s palms were sweating. The shark was swimming at such a high speed that it was challenging to aim properly with the waves. Be sure to hit it! Be sure to hit it! If it was not hit, there would be no more chances. Da Fei could only watch it tear the ship apart, then! Wait! What if he got hit by Bad Luck again? As the saying went, misery loves company. Once a person used up all their luck, anything could happen! Such things had happened to Da Fei too many times! Da Fei decisively took out the Luck Skill Book with his fastest speed and clicked to learn! All he had to do was bring the -1 to 0. Da Fei did not wish for good luck, he just did not want bad luck. He just wanted average luck! ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Elementary Command Skill! ¡ªElementary Command Skill: Hero''s Command Power will increase by 10%. The Hero and its troops'' Morale will increase by 1. ¡ªPuu! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of blood! I took the wrong book, f**k! It was true that misery loved company. He actually made such a low-level mistake at the most critical time! As a pro, his mental state was lacking! The shark was now right in front of the ship. Da Fei could already see its bloody eyes on the sides of its head underwater! It was too late to make other moves. He had to shoot! There was no reason not to hit it when it was so near! He already had two unlucky shots. There was no reason for him to be unlucky his third time! ¡ªBoom! Two bolts were shot out! Da Fei closed his eyes nervously! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed one shark and gained 2,550 EXP! The system message was like music to Da Fei''s ears. He collapsed in relief, his back all wet from sweat. Da Fei really cared a lot about the ship. The next time he went offline, he would definitely purchase Mall Items! It would not cost more than the price of two plates of fried rice. He would never take the risk again! Chapter 36:Now Showing: Jaws Da Fei took a deep breath and immediately composed himself after being shocked. Leadership was a compulsory skill for a Hero. Sooner or later, one had to learn it. If he added points wrongly now, so be it. Anyway, he had more Skill Points. It was a given that he would continue to master Luck Skills. He had to negate the effects of the curse by Bad Luck. He must not make any mistakes with the remaining sharks. Da Fei pulled out the Luck Skill Book and golden light flashed. ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Elementary Luck Skill! ¡ªElementary Luck Skill: Increases the Luck Value of heroes and hero troops by 1 point. 1 point of Luck increases 2% chance of getting a Lucky Strike that doubles the maximum Damage. Da Fei could finally kill the shark confidently. The Ballista roared, and with every roar, a shark''s life was taken away. The surface of the sea turned red with blood and the stomachs of dozens of dead sharks bobbed up and down in the bloody waves. The sharks that could not reach the tuna began to eat the bodies of their dead companions. For sharks, as long as there were blood and flesh, it did not matter whether it belonged to their kind. Once the shark smelled blood, its Damage and Attack Speed would be greatly improved. This was the sharks'' most powerful special skill, Bloody Rage. It would be a Godly skill if not for the fact that there was a chance one might hurt their allies. Finally, another golden light shone down from the sky. ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 18! You received 1 Assignable Attribute point, 1 Skill Point, Health +2, Command Power +1. Da Fei breathed a long sigh of relief. It was great that he was able to keep the Ballista safe. It was said that it was difficult to level up after Level 10. Was it really that hard? He was a pro. What might be hell to a low-leveled player was Heaven to a high-leveled one! Wahahaha! There were more than a dozen left. He would send all of them on their way. Unfortunately, after killing so many sharks, he did not even get a shark''s fin. The Ballista twanged and took the life of another shark. At this moment, the sharks were like a flock of birds that had been spooked. They all scattered until none were left. Da Fei could not help but be momentarily stunned. Why did they suddenly run away? There were still tens of thousands of EXP to be had from them. Just as he was puzzling over it¡­ ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are powerful enemies near you, please be alert! A red light immediately flashed on the map! What the heck, it was a Boss! No wonder the sharks ran so fast. It was an enemy that even sharks were afraid of! He had thought that once the sharks were under the effects of Bloody Rage, they would not be afraid of anything. Da Fei immediately took out his telescope and looked in the direction of the warning dot on the map. Sure enough, he saw a huge dorsal fin breaking through the waves like a motorboat in the distance¡ªthe Great White Shark! Overlord of the ocean, one of the strongest in Overlord! According to legend, in the ocean, the speed of the Great White Shark could reach that of a car. Judging from its amazing speed, it was true! Da Fei was suddenly confused! Is it here to eat or smash the ship? As long as it''s not here to smash the ship, it''s fine. I won''t attack you! No, no, no, there''s no one here, you can eat all the meat you want in peace! Da Fei was terrified that it would see him. He ran to a closed artillery window in the artillery cabin and peered out through the gap. After all, the legendary Great White Shark was the only shark that could hold its head upright above the water. Its vision was different from that of ordinary sharks. Once one was discovered, God knew what would happen. The Great White Shark drew closer. Its size was beyond imagination! It was almost half as long as the ship! This was a megalodon! Among the floating bloody corpses, its first target was the tuna that had been all chewed up and smelled wonderfully delicious! Then it opened its scarily huge mouth that was as big as a garage door¡ªWoo! ¡ªBoom! The hull shuddered! Da Fei felt a jolt in his heart! This was a megalodon? Was he going to die? No, no, he had just watched Hemingway''s "Old Man and the Sea", and now it was Spielberg''s "Jaws". What was next? "Pacific Rim"? Should he summon Gundam? The huge waves seemed sky-high and the hull began to shake violently. The strength of the Great White Shark was spectacular! Da Fei''s heart clenched tight. If this continued it would be time for "Titanic"! He decided he had to disengage himself and quickly untied the ropes. As Da Fei ran towards the deck, he felt the ship begin to move at a fast speed! The Great White Shark was towing the boat! Da Fei was shocked! Why did the shark not attack his ship? Was it still "The Old Man and the Sea"? In the show, the tuna towed the Old Man''s boat in the sea for a few days and nights until it died of exhaustion, right? Did that mean that the Intelligence of this giant shark was at the same level as that tuna? Did it know that the rope around it was tied to the ship? If that was the case, should he bet on it!? As a lottery fan and a speculator, this was not a problem! Da Fei suddenly realized that he might have gained some, but he also lost some after he got the ship. If it were in the past, he would never have made such an amateur mistake. Yeah, when he was an expert treating all those professionals all those years ago, he never did lose his temper at them, and it was not because he felt he himself was more skilled. Da Fei was well aware that he was not. In truth, it was because he never took gaming seriously. That was why he could simply diagnose people without scruples, leading to his remarkable achievements. In the end, what he really needed to do was transcend himself! He would bet on it! He had a treasure map, as well as information on the super Ballista. He was also well on his way to Epic Captain. Was it not just an in-game ship? He could afford it. Now, "The Old Man and the Sea" was playing again and Da Fei was the protagonist. The supporting role had become a Great White Shark and the little boat had become a ship. Pulled by the Great White Shark, SV Fly cut swiftly through the waves. What was ahead? He did not care anymore. He would simply go with the flow! Though Da Fei thought that, he was unable to calm down. On the ship, Da Fei shrank back and did not dare to move at all. He was afraid that any sound would alert the shark to his presence. Suddenly, Da Fei felt a strong sense of unease. Why did the shark not attack his ship? If it did attack, he was doomed. This was the same scenario as during the Trial Mission, "Assist the Captain in Battle". The monsters only attacked the Captain and ignored him. Was the System lowering the difficulty level manually? If he thought about it carefully, the storm came as soon as he had repaired the ship. Well, the story mission was moving along, as it should. Then, when he ran out of food, he fished. That was expected. After that, monsters like tuna, sharks, and Great White Shark, which were rarely seen by nautical players during the open beta all appeared in this sea. It seemed too deliberate. Under normal circumstances, every boss in the game was extremely powerful and it was rare to meet one. This was obviously a system glitch? Just like in the Undead World when the system kept spawning monsters to attack the island. Could it be that the Beginner Trial was not over yet? However, on the island, it clearly showed the prompt that said "Assist the Captain in Battle" was complete. The experience had been awarded and he had already taken the ship. He was not far from becoming an Epic Hero. For a beginner, the rewards were already abundant. Why was it not over yet? Wait! "Assist the Captain in Battle" was such a difficult quest. It was unlikely that it was meant for him, an obviously non-combat hero type, right? Wasn''t it asking too much of him? The System might be a little unfair, but it would definitely not send an Admiral to the mountains, nor would it arrange for him, a player who started off with Nautical Skills, to engage in melee battle. Could it be that he had taken over Raging Sea of Blood''s portion of the Trial Mission as well, after getting rid of him? And his own portion of the Trial Mission had just begun? In that instant, Da Fei had a sudden realization! It was possible! Everything was possible! Although Raging Sea of Blood''s specialty was powerful, it was only effective against people and monsters. Da Fei''s specialty was fighting against Heaven and the sea. It was on a whole different level! Only Heaven and the sea had the right to test him! That''s right, his Trial Quest had only just begun! Wahaha¡ªuh! Suddenly, Da Fei, who had just figured things out and started laughing, covered his mouth with his hand. He must not let the shark hear him. If the ship was destroyed, the Trial Mission would end before it even began. Having figured one thing, Da Fei suddenly had an insight into several others that had been troubling him. If the ship, sword, and Epic Hero title were actually prepared for the Admiral, then what reward would he get since he had just started training for it? What kinds of rewards were worthy of him who fought against Heaven and the sea? Legendary weapons? A peal of thunder would roar above the ship, and a Titan Sword would appear? Markal? He was already an NPC for Epic-level missions. A God-level skill? It was impossible for the System to award such without any information or clues. In this pay-to-win game, it would be more believable that such skills could be purchased from the System. Hidden occupation? Da Fei frowned. Was there a beginner''s village anywhere in this world that did not allow a player to change jobs? No! Was it not strange that a Level 18 beginner still could not change jobs? It was very strange! Then¡­ At that moment, the word "Voyager" appeared in Da Fei''s mind! In the Captain''s diary, every other sentence was about Voyagers. Even the first sentence of that strange Skill Book was about Voyagers, as if it was afraid that Da Fei would not know that he was a Voyager. Just what, however, was a Voyager? The Voyager was, of course, an occupation! However, Miners, Doctors, Cooks, Fishermen, Dancers, and his Pikeman were all occupations. There were so many occupations in the game. The key question was whether the Voyager was a Hero occupation? It did not seem so on the official website. The Hero occupations of the Human Race on the official website were Knights and Priests. For the Elves, they were Rangers and Druids, Death Knights and Necromancers for the Undead, Shamans and Barbarians for the Orcs. In short, they were warrior and magic types. They were all occupations that could increase the power of the entire regiment, definitely nothing like minor cooks! If the Voyager was a hidden Hero class, then it was likely to be his Trial Mission reward! The job of the Voyager is to lead the whole crew in the most dangerous job in the world. Is it possible that it''s not a Hero''s occupation? I fought under him once! So what are the criteria needed to be a Voyager? ¡ª"As an excellent voyager, mastering the battle and adventure skills are never enough. The ocean is unknown territory to humans. We are so tiny and insignificant in front of the ocean. Our knowledge and skills will never be enough." Da Fei once again flipped open Renoir''s Special Edition Skill Book in sudden realization! Chapter 37:The First Epic Hero in China Da Fei understood! The Voyager was a versatile and omnipotent occupation. Hence, he would, of course, have to learn all the public, combat, adventure skills in the Skill Books that he found! Otherwise, why was there a need for so many skills? Da Fei was Level 18 and had 17 Skill Points. The Advanced Reconnaissance and sub-skills Intelligence Gathering and Hidden Movement used a total of 5 points, Master-level Study of the War Machines and sub-skill Ballista Master took 6 points, Leadership Skill took 1 point, and Luck Skill took 1 point. He had 4 Skill Points left. There were four Skill Books that Da Fei had yet to master. It was like this was customized. Wasn''t it obvious that he was being asked to change occupation?! He was a Ballista Master, Boss killer now. He did not have to worry about future missions. He would learn all the remaining Skill Books! Although this was taboo for beginners, he would become a jack of all trades instead of specializing in something, which might be a waste of Skill Points. It would become more difficult to level up in the latter part as well. But, for the hidden occupation, it was not a problem! Da Fei was no longer lost. He took out the Skill Books and golden lights flashed! ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Elementary Basic Attack Skill! ¡ªElementary Basic Attack Skill: Increase the Hero''s physical combat attacks by 10%. ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Elementary Defense Skill! ¡ªElementary Defense Skill: Decrease the Damage taken by the Hero and his troops by 10%. ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Elementary Archery Skill! ¡ªElementary Archery Skill: Increase the Damage of the Hero and his long-distance troops by 10%. ¡ªSystem Message: You used one Skill Point and learned Elementary Logistics Skill! ¡ªElementary Logistics Skill: Increase the Speed of the Hero troops on land by 20%. The accumulated Skill Points were all spent. But¡ªthe golden light did not fall from the skies as he had thought it would. There were no System Messages as well. That was it. Was the System putting up a show? The ship moved forward in a steady sway, the sound of the waves hitting the hull, and the fresh sea breeze blew into the cabin, ruffling Da Fei''s messy hair. Da Fei''s heart felt empty¡­ After an unknown length of time¡­ ¡ªChina System Announcement: Warm congratulations! Sudden Youth in China has become the first player in the world to successfully hire an Epic Hero! In an instant, the World Channel exploded! ¡ªWorld Channel : The Stars Guild warmly congratulates Miss Sudden Youth, who won the first place in the world! Star Guild welcomes you! ¡ªWorld Channel : The Dragon Slayer Guild warmly congratulates Miss Sudden Youth for bringing honor to China! Dragon Slayer Guild welcomes you to join us! ¡ªWorld Channel : Ninth Heaven would like to offer Miss Sudden Youth a one million annual salary to join our guild! ¡ªWorld Channel : We will offer an annual salary of two million. ¡ªWorld Channel : We mean US dollars! ¡ªWorld Channel : I mean pounds! ¡ªWorld Channel : Hello, Miss Sudden Youth. I''m a reporter from the Hero News agency. I hope you can add me as a friend temporarily and accept my online interview¡­ ¡ªWorld Channel : Miss Sudden Youth, can you add me as your friend too? I''m the 9th president of China''s largest professional game club Ninth Heaven, Godly Emperor. ¡ªWorld Channel : Xiaohuang, I think you better forget it. You are ranked 9th! ¡­ Da Fei had just recovered from his surprise. It costs 100 per line to chat on the World Channel! They''re treating it like a chatroom? It has only been a few days since the game started, and she actually managed to hire an Epic Hero! That''s too awesome right! Wait, this Sudden Youth''s name is a bit familiar. Is it that farm girl from that day I started my account? What the heck! I won''t accept it if it was anyone else. But I have to accept that this kind of player is really amazing. This is real ability. Not anyone can do it. It''s not impossible to hire an Epic Hero within one or two days. Being so awesome, I only just managed to book an Epic Hero. Wait, this Dragon Scale, this Dragon Slayer is familiar as well. Could it be¡­? Da Fei was suddenly reminded of something that happened a long time ago. At that time, it seemed that it was also the New Year. Da Fei fell out of love and was depressed, which led to major mistakes in his work. Then, he was fired without even getting his year-end bonus. Then, Da Fei did not want to meet anyone. Hence, he played games at home. In the game, he vented his anger. On the first day of the game launch, he encountered this Dragon Scale, caused him to be killed by a Boss, and robbed his pet tiger. Then, it was a long story. The Dragon Slayer Guild sent people after Da Fei every day. One day when their guild besieged a Boss and both parties were almost dying, Da Fei suddenly intercepted and killed the Boss, stealing the Guild Order. There was nothing more to say. He had said: "Your Dragon Slayer Guild is very upright and impressive, right? This time, I will be the Guild Master!" Da Fei then quickly registered the Dragon Slayer name, then announced: "Enrolling sluts to be the Guild Master''s wife. The sluttier the better. I''ll give you everything you want." For a moment, all the gangsters and the like gathered¡­ Then, things got out of hand. The Dragon Slayer Guild contacted Da Fei. "Request to buy back the guild for 100,000." He had thought: "100,000? Who do they think I am?" In Da Fei''s mind, it was just a game. Stealing accounts, scamming money and equipment was nothing. He ignored them and continued. Then, they offered 200,000! Wahaha! The increase in price was as casual as having a meal. They were indeed cheats! "You''re all seriously ill, you need to see a doctor." Hence, Da Fei eventually wiped out the Dragon Slayer Guild. The game server closed following it, saving countless internet-addicted youths. It was a passionate period. Several years later, when Da Fei finally found out about Dragon Slayer Guild''s background, he regretted it. It was simply detrimental! If he had known, he would have asked for one million! If he had one million, he would be one step closer to owning his own place and car. But thinking carefully, if he had accepted money from them, things might have turned ugly. They could have filed for extortion if the sum was above 100,000. However, because he was obsessed with the game at that time, Da Fei''s family members were unhappy with him. Especially his little sister who was in high school then. She was just a little kid then, yet she would firmly point at her elder brother and criticize him! He was extremely annoyed! In short, after Da Fei quit the game, he held temporary jobs and never played the game again. Even so, Da Fei still yearned for an extraordinary career in the gaming world. As long as he had time, he would pay attention to various new games from the Internet. Now, he looked at the World Channel, where it cost 100 for each message, where Dragon Scale and the others quarreled. Da Fei sighed. "Why did you give up treatment?" In any case, such a big thing happened in China, there should be quite a lot of interviews relating to this. Da Fei had nothing to do, anyway. Hence, he looked up on what the Epic Hero was. Da Fei entered the game''s built-in forum and saw a pinned post! "Garbage player in China, Da Fei!" Author: Raging Sea of Blood! ¡ªPuu! Da Fei was so shocked he blew a wad of mucus! Damn, do you know how much it costs to pin a post for one hour? ¡­ At this moment, the reporter from Hero News broadcasted a recorded interview with Sudden Youth. Reporter: "Excuse me for bothering you. Miss Sudden Youth, thank you for accepting our interview." A very strange electronic voice replied: "It''s okay. I hope my success can bring inspiration to other players." The reporter was shocked. "This voice is¡­" "It''s Luo Tianyi. I love vocaloids." The reporter was shocked. "Local Hatsune?" "Please don''t use the name ''Hatsune''. I''m Luo Tianyi. Thank you!" The reporter laughed. "Ah, I''m sorry. Currently, the one thing that the majority of players are interested in is your Epic Hero. Would you be able to share its attributes with us? Of course, you may skip this question." "It''s okay. I''ll share a video with you." Host: "Hello, everyone. Please take a look at the video sent to us from our reporter on site. Let us look forward to the World''s first Epic Hero." The screen changed, the scenery was idyllic, the windmills spun, hundreds of Level 0 Farmers from the human race were working hard in the field. A brave blonde female knight in silver armor was on an armored horse waving to the Farmers. The Farmers cheered. Then, a sub-hero attribute box panel popped out on the screen, and the picture of the world''s first Epic Hero was displayed in front of players all over the world. ¡ªKnight Lord: Elaine, Level: 30, Attack: 20, Defense: 20, Mana: 5, Knowledge: 0, Command Power: 1,000. ¡ªHero Ability: Love for Farmers. ¡ªElaine is a noble, upright, caring, charitable, and well-loved lord. The Farmers under her command voluntarily pay 1 gold per month. ¡ªFarmers: Templar Level 0 Reservists. Attack: 0, Defense: 0, Damage: 0-1, Health: 3, Attack Speed: 8, Movement Speed: 8, Command Value: 0. Special Skill: Production, Taxpayer, Unable to Travel. ¡ªTaxpayer: Pays 1 gold tax per month. ¡­ At this moment, the reporter was shocked. "It''s a surprising Epic Hero. So, how did Miss Sudden Youth get her?" "Luo Tianyi" smiled and said, "In the beginning, I was assigned by the examiner to work here, and I encountered this Elaine. She was troubled by the financial loss of the farm. I made the farm profitable within 15 days of the game time. Then, she gave me the farm, followed me, and became my sub-hero." The reporter exclaimed in shock. "That was it? She actually gave you the farm?" "That''s right. The reason for the loss was her kindness. She gave away too much money to help the poor people. She was an Angel. The reason why she gave me the farm was because she did not know how to manage it. If she gave it to me, she could help more people. That''s all." The reporter asked again, "Several major guilds wish to invite you to join their guild. Do you have any intentions?" "Everyone, thank you for the recognition. But my sub-hero is still controlled by the laws of the Kingdom. It''s impossible to send it out to wars. I just want to slowly farm in the game and have no intention of joining a guild. I have nothing else to say. Can we end the interview?" "Thank you for the interview, Miss Sudden Youth. It''s a pleasure to work with you. Goodbye!" Players from all over the world who saw the live broadcast were surprised. As an Epic Hero who was clearly not a combat Hero and whose rank was not high, one was unable to determine her value at this moment. However, the emergence of the Epic sub-hero accelerated the pace of professional teams in other countries. Chapter 38:Pirate Da Fei glanced through the post against him, expressionless. He was not surprised. After all, Da Fei was the man who treated the entire server. All he did was PK him till his level dropped to zero, was it not? Did they think they could verbally abuse him to death? And they wanted to chase him all over the server? What a joke! That was why he said that local servers were too small. However, this could not be compared to the past. He was a professional player who was playing to make a living now. If he had too many enemies, that would make things difficult for him. Although he only had one enemy now, his popularity was simply too dazzling. Even if he did not kill others, others would want to kill him. That would be really troublesome. Damn Raging Sea of Blood, he was really good at killing with a borrowed knife! Then, Da Fei continued watching the Epic Hero''s interview and sighed. ¡ªSystem Message: Reconnaissance Skill warning! There are three unknown ships approaching you, please be alert! Unknown ships? Da Fei was shocked. He ran to the deck and looked through his telescope. Indeed, three ships were approaching him from his left, front, and right! A sailboat! Most suitable for a Pirate! Some affluent large pirate ships were no different from ordinary Kingdom warships. As long as they did not fly flags, it was difficult to identify them. But, if it was a sailboat, it must belong to a Pirate. A sailboat referred to a boat with sails on the deck and a rowing room in the bottom cabin. The two rows of long oars protruding from the bottom of the ship made it look like a large centipede. The advantages of this kind of boat were, needless to say, the ability to use both wind power and manpower. It was also as fast as a dragon boat in a race! The advantage was especially obvious when traveling against the wind. In short, if one was targeted, it was unlikely that they would be able to escape. A battle would be inevitable. The disadvantages were also obvious. After all, the bottom cabin would need to row the boat and so, the draft would be very shallow. It would not be able to withstand strong waves and so would not be suitable for sailing in the ocean. Therefore, it was easy for a merchant ship to avoid it. All it had to do was stay away from shallow waters. Another disadvantage was that the ship was not tall due to the shallow draught. It would be difficult to board a large ship with high sides, and it required the pirates to have a certain amount of combat skills. Da Fei had been targeted! He would not be able to escape. In addition, it was a three-sided attack. There was no way he could win the battle. What should he do?! Da Fei was momentarily stunned. The Great White Shark appeared, and now the pirates were approaching as well! System, how can I believe that you are not putting on a show? ¡ªBoom! Boom! Boom! Three black signal flares on the three pirate ships shot straight up into the sky trailing black smoke. Although he did not understand what it meant, he was certain it was not a good sign. They were getting closer. Da Fei could already see the deck of the pirate ship through his telescope. There were numerous pirates on its mast. As it was hard to board a big ship due to the sailboat''s short hull, the pirates were all standing on the mast. Once they made contact, they would cast out cables with claws on them and trapeze over to the target''s mast or deck like acrobats. They could also slide down or climb up like Tarzan. It was a hazardous job. The stunned Dafei finally came to his senses. Did the pirates not see that big figure in front of him? Even if they thought nothing of him, they should accord the Great White Shark some respect. The only way was to get someone else to do the killing. In other words, he would lure the mobs over to help kill his enemies. He was a master at that. Regardless of whether it was a success or failure, this was his last and only resort. Da Fei walked to the mast where the mooring rope was tied. The cable was already pulled tight and on the verge of breaking. The mast also creaked loudly. Da Fei tried to pull and shake the rope, but it did not budge. Then, Da Fei stood on it like a tightrope. Since there was such a big pile of stuff in the shark''s stomach, it would probably get irritated if he shook the rope? Once it got irritated, it should react or something, right? Da Fei tried to jump on the rope again. Bang! The water in front splashed and the entire ship shook¡ªthere was a reaction! He continued to jump! ¡ªBoom! The waves rose! Da Fei was so shocked he shrank back! He had better not play the fool and end up harming himself instead of the enemy. The pirates approached noisily but could not help but become silent when they saw the Great White Shark pulling the ship! The speed of their boats suddenly slowed down! It was time to see some blood! Da Fei immediately rushed to the artillery cabin at the bottom of the ship and took aim at the crowd of people on the pirate ship. He fired loud shots! Screaming ensured! ¡ªSystem Message: You have killed one pirate and gained 40 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained incomplete information about the pirate! ¡ªSystem Message: You attacked the pirate ship, causing -78 Damage! This shot was like a fuse for a bomb. The volatile and disturbed Great White Shark immediately became like a torpedo and rushed towards the pirate ship on the right at an incredible speed. Boom!!! The pirate ship rocked violently. The pirates standing on the mast fell onto the deck like dumplings into soup. The pirates holding onto the railings to stabilize themselves were exceptionally ferocious. They began to attack with flying axes. The Great White Shark which was injured by the flying axes became even more violent. It slammed into the bottom of the ship, and the whole ship almost rolled over! Success! Da Fei was elated and surprised! ¡ªBoom! Boom! Another two smoke flares flew up. The pirate ship further in front approached the pirate ship on the right side, offering support. The pirate ship on the left side shouted and continued to approach SV Fly. What the heck! How was he supposed to fight! This was obviously not a Trial Mission. Had he met real pirates? He was done for! He would not be able to protect the ship! Da Fei''s heart sank. He had already gotten a lot out of this trip, he would let loose and fight it out. Da Fei immediately rushed to the deck and got ready to cut the cable that held the Great White Shark back with an ax. It could then kill as it wished! At this moment, the pirate ship on the left was already close by. It was a two-mast paddle boat which was just half the length of SV Fly. Da Fei could already see the pirates standing on the mast of the other ship wearing bandanas, armed with knives and grappling hooks. "Wahahaha!" When they saw Da Fei, the pirates grinned evilly and threw a grappling hook. The hook caught on the side of SV Fly! What the heck! It was too late to cut the cable! "F**k!" Da Fei immediately rushed forward and shot the man who was coming over on the rope like an acrobat! -13! ¡ªSystem Message: The enemy has been stopped by paralytic toxin¡­ Ah! The pirate suddenly let go of the rope and fell into the sea with a plop. Da Fei''s eyebrow twitched! This sudden stop was like an instant kill! Clatter! Clatter! Two more grappling hooks hooked onto SV Fly''s gunwale. To the fanatical pirates, a few injured or dead comrades would not stop their attack. Damn! No matter how many came, he would take them out! Da Fei dashed to another grappling hook and fired another shot¡ªPlop! Another pirate was paralyzed and dropped into the sea. At this moment, a wave of water rose between the two ships¡ªRumble!!! The pirate ship shook violently! The Great White Shark was here! Wherever someone fell into the water, it would almost immediately appear! In water, its Attack Speed could reach up to 70 km/h! Da Fei finally could not hold it in anymore and started laughing out loud! As opposed to a tall sailing ship, the frenzied Great White Shark would of course instinctively attack the low-paddle sailing ship. In front of such a bloodthirsty overlord with unpredictable movements, what chance could these three pirate boats have? Especially when the Great White Shark was about the same size as a pirate ship. Da Fei felt fortunate that he did not start a fight with the Great White Shark. Otherwise, how long would his ship be able to hold on? The pirates quickly realized what was happening and immediately turned to retreat. The boat on the left was very unfortunate. The violent shaking caused a lot of water to enter the paddle compartment. The hull began to tilt and they could no longer escape. The pirates immediately ran to the other side of the hull, in an attempt to maintain balance. Of course, Da Fei would not stand idly by. He immediately ran to the artillery cabin, pushed the Ballista to the port-side gun door, and then aimed at the group of pirates trying to balance their boat¡ªno, no, no, he should aim at the leaking side! Which side should he attack? This question actually caused him quite a bit of internal struggle. Wahahaha! In short, he had managed to get through another scenario. He was a pro, an amazing pro! Finally, under the combined attacks of Da Fei and the shark, the pirate ship sank. Hundreds of pirates fell into the water. They waved their swords in a final bid for resistance but eventually became ghosts under the Great White Shark''s teeth. It was a frightening scene better left unwitnessed¡­ ¡ªSystem Message: You sank a medium-sized pirate ship, wiped out a pirate force, and gained 80,000 EXP! You achieved "Victory in Battle 1" and Command Power +10. ¡ªNovice Guide: When you completely wipe out the entire army of your enemy, you will get additional rewards for Command Power achievements. The extra reward is based on the strength of the enemy troops and your Damage done in battle, Maximum 10 points. Da Fei''s eyebrows arched. He had won the battle single-handedly! This experience was terrifying! As the sun set, the surface of the sea turned crimson red. After the war, the Great White Shark''s scarred body floated sideways on the surface of the sea. Its blood flowed non-stop. With extensive internal and external injuries, it finally succumbed to its injuries and died. Aye, how should this be put? This was the highest state of watching a fight on the sidelines. Da Fei sighed, sad at the demise of his ally. "I''ll send you off!" Chapter 39 The setting sun was blood-red and the night was coming. Along with two blasts, the Great White Shark, which struggled and convulsed, finally flipped and died. ¡ªSystem Message: You killed the Great White Shark and gained 50,000 EXP! You received the B-class Strategy Treasure: Great White Shark Figurehead. ¡ªGreat White Shark Figurehead: Ship equipment. When equipped at the bow of the ship, ship''s Speed increases by 10%, troops on ship gain 2 points of Attack, and 1 point of Attack Speed. Then, a golden light descended from the skies! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 19! You received 1 Assignable Attribute point, 1 Skill Point, Health +2, Command Power +1. Free EXP and treasure! Wahahaha! Da Fei laughed proudly. But, there were more messages to come! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have the basic qualities to become a Voyager and have successfully passed the Basic Maritime Test, experiencing storm, survival, sea monsters, and pirates. You have completed the additional Trial Mission. Rewards received: Hidden Hero sub-occupation "Voyager"! ¡ªSystem Message: You successfully changed your occupation to hidden Hero sub-occupation, Junior Voyager! ¡ªJunior Voyager: The speed of the Hero''s ship is increased by an additional 10% at sea, and the effect is superimposed on Nautical Skill. The hero will receive one bonus sub-occupation Assignable Attribute Point every five levels. Heroes and sub-heroes gain 100 EXP per day at sea. ¡ªSystem Message: You are currently at Level 19. You have received 3 bonus sub-occupation Voyager Assignable Attribute Points. You will receive more bonus attribute points after you upgrade your Voyager Skills. The upgrade of Voyager Skills does not affect attribute points given. When you achieve Senior Voyager, attribute points will be reimbursed. ¡ªSystem Message: You have obtained information about the "Voyager" occupation. ¡ªNovice Guide: On Hero Continent, due to military and business secrets, the new sub-occupation Voyager has not formed a complete system. There is no special Skill Book to upgrade Occupation Skills, nor can they directly learn Occupation Special Skills. Players will need to learn, improve Skills or sub-skills, or develop their own skills, by interacting with other Voyagers. ¡ªNovice Guide: Hero''s sub-occupation does not clash with the main occupation. You may still apply to be Hero''s occupation Knight or Priest with the Skill Mentor. ¡­ Looking at the subsequent system messages, Da Fei stopped laughing! What additional Trial Mission? This should have been my mission, right? Da Fei was stunned and quiet for a while, then he began to laugh! It turned out that these mobs were really sent by the System to test him! This show was simply too unexpected. This was definitely not according to the usual script, right? Forget it. Usual or not, what mattered was that he passed it! These were indeed rewards for the hidden occupations. And it did not clash with the main occupation! Double Hero occupation, what did that mean? It meant that when he leveled up, he would get more Strategy Attribute points! Think about it, he would become a Knight later on. Every time he leveled up, he would get two Attribute points. When he leveled up as a Voyager, he would get additional Attribute points as well! Attribute points aside, the important thing was, one more occupation meant more occupation special ability! That was awesome! What was the occupation special ability? Every Hero had a special ability when they set up their account. That was an inborn special ability. Da Fei''s special ability was Storm Voyager. When a beginner reached Level 10 and changed their Hero''s occupation, they would receive occupation skills. The sub-skill of occupation skills was occupation special ability. For example, Blessing Ceremony of the Priests, Howling Banshee of the Necromancers, Rune Control of the Dwarfs, Hell Gate of the Demons, etc. In short, occupation special ability was a special ability that no other occupation had. Since this hidden occupation Voyager was a sub-occupation, there was no doubt that it should come with the occupation special ability. Da Fei knew that with his accumulated talents and innate game skills, he was destined to succeed! He was going to be rich! What else would he be afraid of now? He was not afraid of anything now. His double occupation would break the records. Even if that Raging Sea of Blood gathered people to chase him down, at most, he would sell his account. He could easily ask for one million! In pounds! At that time, he would accomplish both success and fame. He could then buy a house at Marina Gardens and marry Xiao Fang. Wahahaha! Enjoy life every chance one got! While laughing, Da Fei danced with joy, venting the tension he felt for the past two days! Finally, feeling the emptiness after everything, Da Fei was tired. He let out a long sigh of relief. His mind began to calm down and he started to plan ahead. It was too early to hold dual occupations. After all, the Junior Voyager occupation was too weak. Only one bonus Strategy Attribute point every five levels. He only got three points at Level 19. Which meant, when he leveled up to Level 20, he would get one more. In short, too weak. Beginners got one point for every level. Compared to the main occupation which gave two attribute points per level, this was too weak. Deducing from the prospects, after becoming Intermediate Voyager, it should give 1 point every four levels. Senior Voyager would be 1 point every three levels, Expert Voyager 1 point every two levels, Master Voyager 1 point for every level, until he hit the beginner''s growth level. That meant, if he was Master Voyager now, he would be awarded 19 points immediately, compensating him 16 points. As the system message had mentioned, it was not easy to level up hidden occupations. There were no Skill Books and no sub-skills. Even the value of leveling up was a problem. After all, it was difficult to get skill points after Level 20. He had to be careful when upgrading Occupation Skills as well. In short, it was too early to be happy. Da Fei, who had figured it out, was exhausted. It was midnight, and health was his capital of becoming rich. He had to take care of himself. After fighting so hard for nearly two days, it was time to take a good rest. Without any hesitation, Da Fei purchased a 20 yuan offline equipment Mall Item, "Sanctuary of God". In any case, the game company shouldered the important mission of revitalizing the world economy. It was just the cost of two plates of fried rice. He could well afford it. Before he went offline, Da Fei looked at his current attributes, content. ¡­ Player''s Level: 19 Special ability: Storm Voyager.

Skill Points: 1 ¡­ That night, Da Fei woke up from his dreams a few times, laughing¡­ Chapter 40 Da Fei woke up at 9 AM the next day and suddenly remembered that today was the day that his sister would go back home for the holidays. Time is running out. I better hurry to the station to send her off. I remember that her train timing is at noon. Da Fei was too late to have breakfast and went directly to the train station by using the subway. Although the Spring Festival had not yet started, the station was still packed as usual. Then, he easily found out which train he was looking for by checking with the people there, and when searching for his sister in the sea of people. Then, his eyes brightened. A pair of curvy and sexy legs covered in black stockings, a pair of high-heeled white leather boots, and a black mini-skirt. Good legs and a good skirt! Looking up, a bundle of a pink scarf on top of a white down-jacket, a head with a ponytail on the scarf¡ªfound her! She¡¯s indeed my sister, she looks like a model even though she¡¯s wearing cheap clothes! Whether it¡¯s learning or appearance, she isn¡¯t inferior to anyone. Like how people always say, year one university girls are like bumpkins, year two they become pretty, year three become proud, and during year four, even bosses and wealthy people would fight over them! At this moment, she was laughing and chatting with a tall boy wearing only a shirt, coat and cardigan. Da Fei¡¯s face sank. As he expected, it was really this little white face who had no money! This guy flirts with girls easily with his sweet mouth and slippery words. With this ability, he should seduce a rich woman and don¡¯t delay my Xiao Li¡¯s future! Since it¡¯s a rare chance for me to see him with my sister, I must make my words clear today. Da Fei put on a somber face, pushed through the crowd, and called out, ¡°Xiao Li!¡± The girl turned her head in amazement. ¡°Brother! Didn¡¯t you say that you weren¡¯t coming?¡± The handsome tall boy hurriedly bowed and greeted. ¡°Hello, Big Brother!¡± Da Fei said with a cold face, ¡°Who¡¯s your Big Brother!¡± Anyone calling him Big Brother would make Da Fei happy, but not this person! Xiao Li glared and said, ¡°What are you saying? Dawei is my friend! He came to help me with my luggage today. Oh right, why are your eyes so red? Stay up late?¡± Humph! I shall teach you a lesson later, white face! Da Fei smiled insipidly and said, ¡°I have been on the night shift for two days, so my spirit isn¡¯t very good. I originally wanted you to bring some stuff back home, but it¡¯s not convenient for a girl like you to carry too much stuff, so never mind.¡± Yup. Actually, it¡¯s because I came in a hurry and forgot. As for professional players and stuff, Da Fei didn¡¯t dare to mention it at all. Back when he was gaming like crazy, his family objected so much that it was an unbearable memory for him. Xiao Li sighed and said, ¡°Brother, pay attention to rest, don¡¯t tire yourself out.¡± What the heck! Since when were you so gentle towards me? You¡¯re obviously making a show to this Dawei to establish a good wife and mother image, right? Your relationship with each other has already reached such a stage! I won¡¯t let you two be together even if I die! Da Fei shook his head and sighed. ¡°As a man, you have to work hard to make a lot of money. Otherwise, not only will women look down on us, but even the dogs also won¡¯t look at us at all.¡± After saying this, Da Fei looked at the corner of his eye and indeed saw the little white face lower his head despondently. Damn, so you know that you are poor? As a rich, tall, and handsome person, should I teach you what to do? Of course, Xiao Li could hear the hidden words behind Da Fei¡¯s speech and immediately retorted. ¡°Money can¡¯t be earned, not all women only look at money! Brother, you have to change your mindset, you must move the other person with your heart. What our parents are most worried about is your marriage.¡± What the heck! This little lass dared to lecture her brother in front of outsiders! Women don¡¯t look at money? The only good woman in the world who doesn¡¯t look at money is my Xiao Li! That¡¯s even more reason for me to prevent this fellow from taking advantage! Da Fei laughed and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, my luck is changing for the better this time. I will become rich before long.¡± Xiao Li was surprised and said, ¡°Is that right? Don¡¯t tell me that you are doing multi-level marketing!¡± Da Fei shook his head in a hurry and said, ¡°Absolutely not! I will absolutely abide by the law! I¡¯m working for a big boss this time, my monthly salary can rise to at least 20,000 yuan this time!¡± Well, the big boss is the Chinese agent of Heroic Genesis. If I tell you that I¡¯m earning 200,000 a month, you will be shocked to the point of peeing in your pants and thinking that I¡¯m doing some criminal activity. Xiao Li laughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s good, you must work hard.¡± Damn! The most annoying thing is to listen to women telling you to work hard! Do you think that men don¡¯t want to work hard? As a result, Da Fei and Xiao Li chatted for a long time about their uncle, aunty, second uncle, second aunty, and such, basically about things that they wouldn¡¯t talk about in the past. Da Fei purposely found topics to talk about and ignored Dawei, leaving him standing at one side alone. Finally, the station horn sounded and it was time to get on. Dawei finally found a sense of presence and hurried to pick up the luggage. Chey, who do you think you are from my family? Da Fei immediately stepped forward to grab the luggage. ¡°I don¡¯t need your help, I can carry this!¡± Dawei anxiously said, ¡°No, no, let me!¡± Da Fei grabbed over the luggage angrily and said, ¡°I said I shall carry this!¡± What the heck, it¡¯s a bit heavy and hard, is it books inside? Why are you bringing books back during the holiday? I haven¡¯t had breakfast, aren¡¯t you torturing me¡­ Da Fei and Dawei waved goodbye to Xiao Li from the platform. Although they couldn¡¯t hear what she was saying from the window, from her mouth shape, it didn¡¯t look like she was saying ¡°goodbye¡±. Could she be saying ¡°don¡¯t fight¡±? Chey, I didn¡¯t eat breakfast, and carrying the luggage into the train just now made my muscles ache all over. I shall let this white face off this time. Da Fei took out a cigarette and passed it to Dawei. Dawei hurriedly shook his hand and said, ¡°Brother, I don¡¯t smoke.¡± Chey! How can a man not smoke? Useless! Da Fei tilted his head, insipidly lit the cigarette and took a deep puff. Then, he moved the hand holding the cigarette away, making a Chow Yun Fat¡¯s classic pose, and with a puff, the smoke spat out like a sword. Da Fei had trained this pose for a long time! Kid, see that? This is called acting cool. If a man doesn¡¯t act cool, he will be bullied outside! At this moment, an aunt with a red armband rushed over, pointed at the non-smoking icon on the wall, and said, ¡°No smoking here! Didn¡¯t you see the sign! Fine! 20 yuan!¡± What a mood spoiler! Can¡¯t smoke, then let¡¯s drink! Sending away the aunt who was lecturing him profusely, Da Fei said, ¡°Let¡¯s go for lunch.¡± Dawei hurriedly said, ¡°Oh, okay.¡± Chey! There is no temperament at all. As soon as you go out to society, you will definitely be bullied by others. Although most students in school are shy and restrained, when entering society, it¡¯s like entering the battlefield. One mistake and you could die before even knowing what hit you. When you know your mistake, you would have already been crushed to the bottom and stepped on by others for 10 or 20 years and still not have a chance to advance! How can Xiao Li get married to a guy like you? ¡­ In a bistro next to the station, Da Fei ordered three side dishes and two bottles of beer. Dawei hurriedly shook his hand and said, ¡°Brother, I, I don¡¯t drink! Our track and field team is not allowed to drink.¡± Chey! Track and field team? Can you run faster than Liu Xiang? If you can¡¯t even drink, what use do you have! Do you really think that we are living in a civilized society? That¡¯s not something a newbie like you should think about! You don¡¯t even understand what China¡¯s Liquor Bureau culture is and still want to progress from the bottom? I don¡¯t think there¡¯s any hope in you at all. The elder brother is like the father, I won¡¯t let you and Xiao Li be together. Da Fei took a sip of beer and sighed. ¡°Actually, I think you are a good guy and have good morals, but what is the premise of your relationship with Xiao Li? Just play and go separate ways after you two graduate? Or to get married?¡± Dawei hurriedly said, ¡°Of course it is to marry each other! I¡¯m from this city in the first place, we won¡¯t go our separate ways!¡± Damn! Marry! You dare to talk about it? Do you know how much it costs to get married? However, with Xiao Li¡¯s character, she might agree to marry him without holding a wedding? What the heck! That¡¯s absolutely not allowed! Da Fei lifted his eyelids, and two cold lights shot out. ¡°Our family is very poor, my parents are not very healthy too, and the financial burden is very large. As the eldest brother, I¡¯m not very capable too. Have you considered these issues?¡± Dawei hurriedly said, ¡°I know, Brother. You¡¯re having a hard time. Xiao Li also told me about this before. No matter what the difficulties are, I will definitely bear it together with Xiao Li¡ª¡± Damn, these teenagers who watched too much love dramas are the most annoying. It will be more helpful for your growth if you watch dramas about plotting and fighting in the palaces of ancient China! Da Fei waved his hand impatiently to interrupt him. ¡°You still have one year to graduate? Tell me what you plan to do after graduation.¡± Da Wei hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m taking the exam for becoming a civil servant.¡± Da Fei shook his head and coldly said, ¡°Don¡¯t mention civil servants, the average monthly salary of an ordinary department employee in this city is only about 10,000 yuan or so. It might not even be better than me doing hard labor. How are you going to buy a house with this meager salary? How are you going to support your family? You have parents too, right? How are you going to support your parents? Don¡¯t mention promoting, it won¡¯t be possible without 10 years of hard work or so! Don¡¯t tell me you plan to ask my Xiao Li to wait for you for 10 years?¡± In shock, Dawei said, ¡°I¡ª¡± Da Fei interrupted and continued, ¡°I have a lot of classmates and friends who are planning to divorce now. The reason is very simple¡ªtheir hearts aren¡¯t together anymore! Bullshit! It¡¯s simply because the women look down on their husbands for being poor and have no capability. If that¡¯s the case, they shouldn¡¯t have gotten together in the first place, right?¡± Dawei anxiously said, ¡°Xiao Li isn¡¯t that kind of woman!¡± Of course I know that! My Xiao Li is certainly not that kind of woman! I¡¯m afraid you will suffer outside and take it out on her by beating her! How can such a good woman marry a useless person and suffer? Da Fei solemnly said, ¡°I shall make my point clear. I will give you one year¡¯s time to earn 300,000 before graduation. This is only the down payment for a house in this city. This is the most basic requirement, not me seeking trouble from you. You must know that other women ask directly for cars, houses, and cheques. Without these, they won¡¯t even bother speaking to you. All I ask of you is a down payment for a house! If you can¡¯t achieve this, I don¡¯t want to see you appear in front of me again. And don¡¯t think of borrowing from relatives, I will not let my sister marry an incompetent person who¡¯s in debt.¡± Dawei was shocked and said, ¡°Earn 300,000 in a year¡¯s time! I¡­ I still have classes to attend¡­¡± Da Fei said in disdain, ¡°What use do those classes have? The economy is in a downturn now, graduate students like you are not even as favored as those technical students who have a skill on them. Whatever the case, this is my requirement of you, the rest is up to you!¡± If I had your physique, I could earn 100,000 a year through carrying bricks. If I had your appearance, I could earn one million a year working as a gigolo! Without going through some practical trials, you think you can obtain my sister just by relying on ideals and sweet-talking? Dream on! Momentarily, Dawei couldn¡¯t even eat at all. Da Fei continued to drink by himself, and the meal passed in this dull atmosphere. On the way home, Da Fei also felt very uncomfortable inside his heart. Xiao Li will definitely be very angry after knowing this, right? She will dislike me even more, right? Chey! It doesn¡¯t matter if I¡¯m evil or snobby. I admit it! I¡¯m just this realistic and snobby! What kind of suffering and anger have I not felt, what kind of things have I not seen? ¡­ Dawei went back to the school dormitory absentmindedly. When he went past the mini-supermarket in his school, he suddenly thought of something and went in to buy a pack of cigarettes. He sat in the dormitory and smoked, coughing until his tears came out. This was his first time smoking, and he smoked one cigarette after another. After a while, the door to the dormitory opened. His dormitory mates carried in a large box excitedly. When they smelled the smoke in the room, they were all startled and asked, ¡°Oh my, you actually smoke? Did you have a breakup?¡± Dawei: ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense! What are you carrying?¡± Dabing laughed and said, ¡°You won¡¯t understand even if I tell you! This is the most popular thing in the world now! Able to get rich overnight! I won¡¯t be going back for the winter vacation!¡± Dawei could not help but become dazed. ¡°Get rich overnight?¡± Chapter 41 When Da Fei went online again, the radiance from Sanctuary of God disappeared and the remains of the pirate ship and the corpse of the Great White Shark were still present. As expected of a divine item that could stop time. ¡ªSystem Message: A new day on the sea has started, you obtained sea EXP +100. This was probably the daily free EXP from the Voyager profession. Speaking of which, Voyager and Nautical Skill were quite similar in meaning, but it was the difference between a profession and a skill, they weren¡¯t of the same level. In this case, would there be a hidden profession for Attack Skill like attacker profession and defense profession for defense skill? Ha. Whatever the case, SV Fly started drifting on the sea again. There wasn¡¯t anyone pulling the ship for him now, how long would he need to drift on the sea? He had already completed the Trial Mission, right? From now on, whatever he encountered would be the real thing. Without any assistance and hidden trump cards now, it would depend on God¡¯s will whether he could keep his ship if he met any obstacle. A day had passed in the game world. Da Fei didn¡¯t sleep well the night before and he drank beer this afternoon, so he was feeling sleepy now. He turned on the System alarm to the highest volume and took an afternoon nap. Not sure how long later, the System alarm woke Da Fei up! ¡ªSystem Message: Warning from the Reconnaissance Skill! Three unidentified ships are approaching! Please be alert! Da Fei was instantly alarmed and took out his binocular to take a look. Pirates! Again! He was done for, he wouldn¡¯t be able to prevent his ship from being seized this time! Da Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head. In the end, the reward of getting a ship from the Trial was just a gimmick, the system wasn¡¯t so generous as to really give him such a large ship, right? It was finally time to take back the ship, it was really just a fake surprise. Fight with his life? That would be futile! The most important thing now was obviously to bring the ballista with him and prepare to escape. He should try to preserve as many things as he can. Da Fei hurriedly went to disassemble the ballista. In the meantime, the pirate ships were getting closer and closer. Finally, with a shake of the ship, the ships got into contact! The pirates flocked onto his ship yelling and shouting. Sounds of footsteps came from upstairs as Da Fei finally disassembled and kept the last piece of the ballista. Thud! Thud! The pirates came down into the cabin. Seeing this, Da Fei sighed, then waved his hands and said, ¡°Kill me if you want to! I¡¯m the Captain of this ship!¡± A few pirates came up and held their blades against his neck, then shoved him up onto the deck. Huh? Why didn¡¯t they just kill me directly? Their names are in red, obviously meaning that they are enemies, right? Could it be that I encountered another story plot? A tall and bulky man with a long beard glanced at Da Fei and coldly said, ¡°Which division are you from?¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped! Which division? Was this a code to see if he was a pirate too? Did he look like a pirate to them? Was this another Trial? It shouldn¡¯t be, there shouldn¡¯t be so many Trials. It was not like the system was a welfare home or something. Da Fei could only say, ¡°I¡¯m just a newbie, not from any division.¡± Just speak the truth and leave the rest to fate. A cold light flashed in Big Beard¡¯s eyes. ¡°This is your ship?¡± Why waste time asking, it¡¯s going to be your ship immediately! Da Fei could only say, ¡°I¡¯m the Captain.¡± Big Beard asked again, ¡°You¡¯re the one who killed the shark?¡± Da Fei numbly said, ¡°Yes, I killed it.¡± Big Beard laughed loudly and said, ¡°Tow the ship away!¡± Thus, the three pirate ships used metal chains to tow Da Fei¡¯s ship and started to return to where they came from. They also took control of his ship and managed the sails. The ships instantly sailed away in the sea. It was really different once there were enough members to manage the ship. But Da Fei was even more puzzled now. They didn¡¯t seem like enemies, did they? Did he really trigger another story plot? He should ask questions to find out, although he knew that he would probably be beaten for talking too much. He asked, ¡°Where are you guys taking me?¡± Big Beard laughed loudly and said, ¡°You will know soon.¡± Then, he waved his hand and a pirate instantly covered Da Fei¡¯s head with a black sack. Fine, I get it. You guys are bringing me to your base, right? Looks like I really am not in danger. If not, they could have just killed me and saved the trouble. Since I can¡¯t see anything now, I might as well go to the official website and check for information on pirates. There were many islands on Hero Continent, the ideal places for pirates to build their bases. Therefore, there were a lot of pirates around this area. Players who focused on developing on the sea wouldn¡¯t need to worry about leveling spots. As for the pirates, there were a few major factions amongst them, which were the Innocent Pirates, Blood Raider Pirates, Bloodsail Pirates, Barren Pirates, and the New Caribbean pirates led by Pirate King Red Beard, who established his power in the New World. The bases of these major factions were all very secretive, even the navy forces of the big nations didn¡¯t dare to easily attack them. The pirates were the common enemies of everyone who sailed the sea. Between the different pirate factions, they would also have quarrels and fight amongst themselves. In such a situation where Da Fei was captured but not killed, it would probably be that he really triggered a story plot. He had no choice now but to take things as it came and see how it went. After a long time, he could hear noises, and loud waves of laughter could be heard from outside the area of their ships. Da Fei could see again as the sack was removed from his head. In front of him was an island port, in which many pirate ships were parked. The shore was littered with wooden cabins closely built together. Da Fei looked around and saw that other small islands surrounded this island too. This was probably the pirates base? Big Beard laughed loudly and said, ¡°Newbie, welcome to Barren Island. I shall bring you to see my leader, Captain Rock. When he asks you questions later, just answer him no matter what he asks if you don¡¯t want to suffer, hahahaha!¡± Captain Rock! Barren Pirates! This is a major faction! What the heck, what¡¯s going on? The pirate fleet lowered the sails and docked at the port. The pirates onshore all excitedly gathered around and snickered. ¡°Haha, you guys actually robbed such a big ship!¡± ¡°Barak is going to make a fortune this time!¡± ¡°Huh, such a large shark?¡± Big Beard waved his hand at the crowd and said, ¡°Drag the shark up, peel the skin properly!¡± The crowd all responded excitedly, ¡°This shark skin is definitely of top-quality! It can definitely be made into high-quality sharkskin armor!¡± Big Beard and the rest of his people brought Da Fei with them onshore and proceeded to the streets. Da Fei looked around the town curiously. There was a shipyard, a blacksmith shop, an equipment shop, a tavern, and everything else necessary. Especially the many taverns on the streets, he could hear coarse waves of laughter and music coming from them. Although small, this island had all the essential things a town required. Shortly later, Da Fei was brought in front of a large house. Big Beard didn¡¯t knock and directly pushed him inside, at the same time shouting, ¡°Boss, I brought you something fun.¡± Once he went in, Da Fei could see a big-sized man with a naked upper-body whose face was covered in scars. A few beautiful ladies thinly dressed were serving him beer and massaging his legs. Compared to this large-sized body that was comparable to a bear, those petite women were totally like¡­ The difference in body size, were they really usable¡­ This scar-faced man was naturally the leader of the Barren Pirates, Rock. This information could be found on the official website too. Without question, he was an Epic-level Hero. Rock laughed loudly and said, ¡°Barak, I heard that you robbed a large ship?¡± Big Beard shook his head and said, ¡°I haven¡¯t robbed it yet, I only met an interesting fellow¡ªthis guy.¡± Rock stared at Da Fei and laughed, then said, ¡°Kid, you have quite a promising future, creating so much havoc and having a large ship at such a young age. It will really be a pity if you don¡¯t become a pirate. How is it? Join us, I will groom you to become one of the best pirates in the world and live the most carefree and unrestrained life in the world!¡± ¡ªSystem Message: Pirate Leader Rock is giving you a hidden profession advancement ¡°Pirate¡±, do you agree? ¡ªJunior Pirate: The uncrowned king who controls the ocean. Each level increases the unit¡¯s sea damage by 10% and the ship¡¯s speed by 5%. The effect directly stacks with Attack Skill and Nautical Skill. Each level gains a free attribute point and an automatically assigned Attack attribute point. ¡ªProfessional expertise: Able to train the unit type, Pirate Warrior. Learning this expertise requires a Skill Point. ¡ªPirate Warrior: Attack: 10, Defense: 2, Damage: 6-10, Health Points: 35, Attack Speed: 14, Movement Speed: 12, Special Skill: Boatmanship, Flying Axe, Sensitive Dodge, War Looting. ¡ªNovice Guide: Once you advance to the Pirate profession, you will become the enemy of the kingdom. Please choose carefully. Da Fei finally understood! The reason they didn¡¯t kill him was that he was a newbie who hadn¡¯t made any advancement yet, plus the fact that he was an infamous Red Name, meeting the conditions for advancing into a Pirate! He didn¡¯t expect that players could advance into the Pirate profession too, he thought that this was only reserved for the NPCs. During the open beta, although there were many players who robbed others on the sea and claimed themselves as pirates, they weren¡¯t really pirates, only normal Red Names. This was troublesome. This was the main professional, not a sub-profession like Voyager. The Red Name could be slowly washed away, but once he became a Pirate, he could only be a Pirate for life! He didn¡¯t want to become a Pirate, that would really be making an enemy of all the NPCs and players other than pirates. Although this was what he loved most in the past, he was planning to become a professional gamer in order to earn money now, not for fun. Other things aside, if he became a Red Name Pirate, how was he supposed to trade his gold coins to the intermediary customer service? Ask the Level 1 customer service newbie to come to meet him in a secret spot on the beach? That was not possible. Also, being a pirate meant fighting all day and constantly repairing this and that. The money robbed from others wouldn¡¯t even be enough for him to spend! Were pirates really carefree and chic? If they really were, they wouldn¡¯t need to be stuck on this island. The African lions were the kings of the grasslands, but they still starved most of the time. Prey wasn¡¯t that easy to catch. The number of lions that died to the horns of African bison was more than the number of African bison that were eaten by lions. When a lion got injured, it would be akin to starving to death. Similarly, pirates that depended on ships for a living would end up terribly once their ships got destroyed. Not to mention that he still had an Epic mission to complete. If he became a pirate, he wouldn¡¯t be able to enter the cities anymore, not to mention meeting Duke Markal. His Epic mission would directly be wasted. In short, he wouldn¡¯t become a pirate, there wasn¡¯t any future in it. He was a good citizen filled with positive energy, that was for sure. Da Fei instantly rejected and said, ¡°I won¡¯t become a pirate.¡± At most, they could only kill him. He didn¡¯t believe that NPCs wouldn¡¯t directly kill him all the way to Level 0. Big Beard was furious and said, ¡°Kid, how did you think you preserved your ship! Don¡¯t be too full of yourself!¡± Rock waved his hand and laughed loudly, then said, ¡°It¡¯s fine, let him take a look around first. He will naturally come and find me after he thinks it through.¡± Big Beard coldly humphed and said, ¡°Yes, Boss. Boss, continue to enjoy yourself.¡± Saying so, he grabbed Da Fei, got out of the room, and then threw Da Fei on the ground like throwing rubbish and walked away. Chapter 42 Da Fei picked himself up from the ground with a face full of dust. What the heck! What¡¯s going on? Anyways, I¡¯m safe for now. The ship is secured as well. Seems like the game is just a game, after all. It won¡¯t easily take away your virtual property. I will check out the shipyard first. Seems like my ship has been towed there. I¡¯ll think about escaping after my ship is fixed. Of course, that won¡¯t be easy. Da Fei looked around as he walked toward the shipyard. The residents of this town were all Red Names. Da Fei felt a little worried as he saw their malicious gazes. Da Fei soon reached the shipyard and saw a few tattooed workers freely drinking and playing cards. Da Fei approached someone who looked like the leader. ¡°How much to fix my ship?¡± Everyone laughed. ¡°Your ship? Who the hell are you? Piss off!¡± What the heck! Da Fei had a bad feeling about this. He tried to communicate with the NPCs manning the shops on this island, but everyone was unfriendly! They did not sell him things, neither did they give him quests. Furthermore, they stared at him with ill intentions. The worst possible scenario had happened. Will they only acknowledge me after I change my occupation? There¡¯s nowhere I can go unless I join them. Will I be stuck on this island forever? Is that why Rock was so confident that I will go back to find him? Impossible! That¡¯s like the System forcing players to transfer occupations. There must be a way to clear this obstacle. I won¡¯t succumb to this! I¡¯ll think of something. Just then, Da Fei¡¯s Stamina turned red as he entered the Hungry State. F**k! Food is an issue too! The taverns might not be willing to sell food to me. Even if they are, I don¡¯t have any money! A deserted island was a desperate situation, but would an inhabited and prosperous island also be a desperate situation? I don¡¯t believe it. I¡¯m an expert who has survived all kinds of challenges. There¡¯s no way I¡¯ll be defeated here, right? I¡¯ll start with the taverns. There are all kinds of different people there. Taverns were very important to pirates. They were the only source of entertainment. Hence, there were plenty of them in this town. Da Fei entered the one closest to him. He was instantly surrounded by loud noises. Dancers, gamblers, drunks, diners. It was a normal tavern. Da Fei¡¯s entrance did not draw too much attention. However, those diners sitting and drinking alone attracted Da Fei¡¯s attention. They were neutral Yellow Names or ordinary heroes waiting for players to recruit them. Heroes were easily identifiable by the faint halos beneath their feet. The human Templar heroes had golden halos. Undead heroes had green, smoky halos. Elf heroes had halos with golden butterflies flying around them, and Pirates had blood-red halos, etc. There was a rule on the Hero Continent: There were always heroes waiting to be hired at taverns. The same rule applied to this Pirates¡¯ Island. Even if a player was in enemy territory and was surrounded by Red Name enemies, the hero would still show as a Yellow Name in taverns. These heroes would be refreshed by the System every once in a while. Hence, players would fight to recruit heroes with excellent abilities or talents. Of course, if the hero was from a different faction or race from the player, he would be more difficult to recruit. Da Fei approached the first table. He saw a pirate hero showing off his pecs and standing on blood-red halo. Of course, the entire room was filled with pirate heroes. Da Fei greeted him. ¡°Hello!¡± The hero glanced at Da Fei before saying coldly, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in playing with kindergarten kids. Go away.¡± He¡¯s looking down on me as a rookie yet to change my occupation. Next. ¡ª¡±Where the hell did you jump out from? Piss off.¡± He¡¯s looking down on my lack of Reputation. Next. ¡ª¡±I don¡¯t have spare change for beggars.¡± He can tell that I¡¯m dirt poor. Next. ¡ª¡±Isn¡¯t it the rule here to buy me a drink first?¡± I don¡¯t even have any money, how can I buy you a drink? What the heck! What am I doing here? I¡¯m not here to recruit heroes? I¡¯ve reserved an Epic Hero for myself. I don¡¯t care about any of you random people wasting my EXP. My top priority is just to get some food. Da Fei approached the bar. ¡°Boss, do you need any workers here?¡± The boss glanced at him coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t hire people with unknown backgrounds.¡± F**k! He wants to force me into their dirty business! No way! I won¡¯t give in. I¡¯ll just change taverns. Da Fei hopped from one tavern to the next. He felt some strange sadness. This felt too similar to when he just graduated and was looking for a job. Must I fish for prawns in the ocean and eat them raw? Da Fei sighed as he looked at the final two coconuts he was carrying. Continue! I won¡¯t give in until the end. This time, Da Fei approached another tavern. This tavern was way less noisy compared to the other ones. Furthermore, the soothing sounds of a violin could be heard. What the heck? Artistic pirates? When Da Fei walked through the door, he was so shocked that he instantly froze as if he was electrified! Beauty! There was a beautiful long-haired redhead sitting on the bar counter! She wore a black leather bra, black leather short skirt, and black leather boots. She was not a normal dancer! The blood-red, glowing halo under her voluminous and healthy, bronze-tan thighs indicated that she was a hero. A sexy and beautiful female pirate hero! What the heck! Beautiful female hero! Female heroes were already rare. Beautiful female heroes were even rarer. Such a sexy, wild, beautiful female hero would make all the players go insane! Once they encountered a beautiful female hero, talent, special ability, level, race, and occupation were no longer important. Love had no requirements! As a solo Captain, Da Fei desperately needed a Deputy Captain or a Chief Officer. An excellent Chief Officer was highly important. As for whether he would succeed? That¡­ was a huge problem. It was much more difficult to recruit female heroes as compared to male ones. Females generally required a higher sense of security and better conditions from their employers as compared to males. However, the more difficult something was to obtain, the better they usually were. Hence, during the open beta period, players were much more enthusiastic about female heroes as compared to legendary weapons. If a female hero appeared in a tavern, it would instantly be overcrowded. I¡¯m in a very disadvantaged position. Even normal heroes look down on me. How can I make her interested in me? Just then, Da Fei remembered that Liu Dawei. How did he get my sister? Damn! It must be because my sister is too kind. She couldn¡¯t bear to reject that pauper! No! I must be confident. I¡¯m a man with a huge ship! Furthermore, judging from the music played here, she is an artistic female pirate. Then, I should be artistic too. Da Fei immediately changed out of his Broken Sailor Armor and into the black, well-ironed, formal Captain¡¯s Ceremonial Uniform. He instantly had the image of a mature, heroic, and extraordinary young Captain! No wonder this is a set of clothes with 90 Formalness and 60 Disguise! This gives you a complete makeover! What next. I can¡¯t look frail and weak. Can a hungry man pick up any girls? Da Fei took off his Captain¡¯s hat and broke open his treasured coconut with his head. Then, he finished it in one gulp. Oh yeah! Stamina +100. I¡¯m full! Then, he took out the Captain¡¯s Sword from his bag. Previously, he was worried about being robbed when the pirates boarded his ship, so he kept his Captain¡¯s Sword away. Da Fei walked in confidently after preparing everything that he could. Things were indeed different after he wore the ceremonial uniform. All the customers in the tavern, even that beautiful woman on the bar counter, could not help but turn their heads toward the door. This was a completely different scenario from just now when he was ignored by everyone in the other taverns like a stray dog. Wahahaha, do you see this? Only high-class Captains with huge ships can wear this kind of clothes. The Captain of a small ship is just a fisherman! This is a symbol of my status! I didn¡¯t expect clothes without any battle attributes to have this effect. Just then, Da Fei made eye contact with the female pirate! Her sexy, blue eyeshadow, her fiery red lips, her long hair down to her shoulders that covered half her face, her beautiful, slim face, her smooth shoulders! Beauty! Beauty! Soon, Da Fei could not help but let his gaze travel down her body, onto the exploding curves in front of her chest that could not be contained by that leather bar! No wonder she¡¯s a female pirate. She¡¯s probably always bathed in sunlight. Her healthy, bronze-tanned skin, her sexy belly button, her half-revealed abs, that short leather skirt, and the half-hidden blood rose tattoo near her groin region peeking out from the bottom of her skirt¡­ Da Fei instantly decided that he would not be leaving without this female pirate! As the female pirate stared at him in shock, Da Fei walked confidently next to her. He smiled and said, ¡°May I sit here?¡± The female pirate turned her head lazily. ¡°Perhaps you should buy me something to drink first?¡± ¡ªBoom!!! Da Fei experienced a heavy blow in his heart! I can¡¯t even buy a drink! This is known as ¡°money can kill all heroes!¡± Da Fei took out his final coconut and forced himself to smile. ¡°Alcohol isn¡¯t good for your beautiful skin and your health. Coconut water is all-natural.¡± The female pirate glanced at him and extended her hand. ¡°Give it!¡± This works?! Da Fei was overjoyed and immediately handed the coconut over. ¡°Let me help you open it.¡± ¡°No need!¡± The female pirate took it and stood up. Then, as Da Fei stared at her in shock, she kicked it like a soccer goalie would. Boom! The coconut flew out of the window and disappeared into the night sky¡­ ¡°Exercise is good for my health!¡± The female pirate clapped her hands together and sat back to drink as if nothing had happened. Da Fei was completely stunned. That was my last bit of food! How can you do that? Oh no. I knew that this was going to be difficult. My first plan failed. However, I won¡¯t give in so easily, unless you tell me in my face to piss off! Plan B. Go the artistic route! Da Fei pulled out a book of poems from seafarer Juan¡¯s old bag. Eh, uncle, sorry. Da Fei put the book of poems on her table and smiled. ¡°This poetry book is for you, a woman as beautiful as poems!¡± Hehe, this is my artistic flirting method. The female pirate flicked the book back with one finger and said coldly, ¡°I can¡¯t read!¡± ¡ªSputter! Da Fei was so shocked he blew a wad of mucus! If you can¡¯t read, why are you pretending to be an artistic pirate? Why are you listening to the violin?! How? Must I use my ultimate move and give her a treasure? Chapter 43 Da Fei made up his mind. Give! If I can¡¯t even settle an NPC woman in the game, what am I even living for? Da Fei took out his extra binoculars. ¡°This is for you!¡± Even though this is only C-class, it¡¯s still a Strategy Treasure. I can sell it for thousands of gold coins to other players! Gifting treasures was the ultimate move that players discovered during the open beta. For instance, if you encountered heroes from opposing factions and could not convince them, treasures would open the door to negotiations for you. Of course, it was only a door-opener. As expected, the beauty¡¯s eyelids jumped. Was she impressed? She took the binoculars and played with it. Her expression was as if it was her first time seeing something like that. She looked like a child focusing on her new toy. Da Fei was worried. I can only afford to give you this. Please don¡¯t kick it away like a coconut. Finally, she revealed a satisfied smile. ¡°The handicraft is pretty decent.¡± Da Fei let out a sigh of relief. No shit! This is the extra pair from the Captain¡¯s Room. Can the Captain use the same grade of stuff you pauper pirates use? Da Fei said sweetly, ¡°Only such a high-class item deserves to be paired with the beautiful you.¡± The female pirate¡¯s gaze turned cold. ¡°Boy, are you aware of your current situation?¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped. Oh! Finally, serious talk. Good. Everyone else on this island is a Red Name to me. I¡¯m ignored everywhere. I need an opening to continue living here. Da Fei sighed. ¡°I feel very lonely.¡± The female pirate said coldly, ¡°Of course. This place doesn¡¯t trust outsiders. You should know what to do.¡± Da Fei felt his heart turn cold. Is becoming a pirate the prerequisite to hiring her? What the heck. Then aren¡¯t my binoculars gone for nothing? I lost big, I lost big! There¡¯s no other way now. I have to give up. Of course, I mean to give her up! I will never let a female NPC affect my own future. If a man loses a woman, he can still find others elsewhere. If he loses his business, it¡¯s game over. I¡¯m that realistic. Da Fei sighed. ¡°I won¡¯t become a pirate. That¡¯s too small-minded. There¡¯s no future.¡± The female pirate smiled coldly. ¡°Then, prepare to spend your whole life here. If you don¡¯t become a pirate, you won¡¯t be able to board your ship. If you can¡¯t leave this island, you can¡¯t go anywhere.¡± She then ignored Da Fei and continued to drink by herself. Da Fei was speechless. I¡¯m stuck in this place now. Even if I die, I¡¯ll still respawn on this island. I¡¯m really stuck without a way out? Should I hate that Raging Sea of Blood? Actually, if he didn¡¯t make me a Red Name, my ship would just be robbed by those pirates, right? At least I still have my ship now. I still have some hope. But where¡¯s the hope? The beautiful violin music filled the entire tavern. A few heroes were quietly napping at their seats. Da Fei suddenly realized that this tavern was very empty. Apart from those heroes waiting to be recruited, not a single gambler or drunk was in sight. In fact, they had no business at all. This tavern isn¡¯t normal. This female hero isn¡¯t normal either? If I really can¡¯t pass the initial test of buying her a drink, she wouldn¡¯t have said so much to me. She would¡¯ve just acted like the other heroes and chased me away with a single sentence like ¡°Piss off¡±. Furthermore, her seat is different from everyone else¡¯s. She¡¯s sitting in front of the bar, whereas normal heroes all sit at the tables in the tavern. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped. There¡¯s something more going on! This artistic female pirate must have something more going on. My door isn¡¯t completely shut yet. Da Fei tried to continue the conversation. ¡°Beautiful lady. I can¡¯t just squander my time away on this island without doing anything. I want to take a temporary job here. Can you help me put in some good words¡­¡± I gave you a C-class treasure, at least. That must have raised the Affinity a little bit. As expected, the female pirate smiled. ¡°Sure. You can wash and carry dishes here. 2 gold coins per day.¡± ¡ªSystem Message: You became the waiter at Blood Moon Tavern. Daily Salary: 2 gold coins. Da Fei was shocked! Is this female pirate the boss? What the heck! I found myself some support in the most desperate situation! Rich lady, please take care of me!!! Da Fei hurriedly bowed. ¡°Thank you so much.¡± The female pirate shook her head and snorted. ¡°Dishwashing Captain¡­ ha¡­¡± Da Fei was surprised again! The hero is leaving the tavern? As a normal hero, this would mean that her time is up and the System would refresh her. However, would the owner be just a normal hero? Of course not, she definitely is an Epic Hero! Da Fei was completely stunned! If she really is an Epic Hero¡ªWhat the heck! Don¡¯t put me into this dilemma! I can¡¯t whore myself out and become a pirate! As the female pirate left, the violin music stopped. The musician put down the violin and started playing the accordion, the most famous instrument amongst pirates. Then, a few scantily clad dancers entered from the back door and prepared to dance on the dance floor. No way? This is turning into a normal tavern? All that artistic atmosphere just now was created for her alone? When Da Fei realized what was going on, he asked the shopkeeper, ¡°Boss, what¡¯s that lady¡¯s name from just now?¡± The fat shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyes wide. ¡°You don¡¯t deserve to know! Don¡¯t think that you¡¯re one of us just because Katerina gave you a special chance. We¡¯re about to open. Do your job. If you dare to slack off, I¡¯ll throw you to Crocodile Island!¡± Katerina! This name¡­ What the heck. I think there really was a Spanish Pirate Queen in history, Redhead Katerina? Is that her? If her game background is designed based on that Queen¡¯s story, she¡¯s probably a Legendary Hero! Players don¡¯t need to dream about Legendary Heroes. Alright, this is good too. It¡¯ll stop the distractions. I¡¯m determined not to become a pirate. How can a dragon stay in a pond? It will transform back into a dragon the moment it encounters the wind and the clouds! I can¡¯t stay in such a small circle like the pirates here. When the storm comes and you all hide, I will sneak back into my ship. Based on the game¡¯s resurrection rules, I will respawn within the Light Factions¡¯ territory once I leave your Barren Sea territory. Even if the storm costs me my ship, I don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t get away! Just then, some pirates walked in while laughing. ¡°Boss, five bottles of rum! A large serving of grilled fish!¡± The shopkeeper immediately said to Da Fei, ¡°Get the rum.¡± Da Fei hurriedly replied, ¡°Understood.¡± Then, the pirates slowly filled up the tavern. Their chaotic conversations and laughter filled the room. The artistic tavern turned into an ordinary one. This tavern wasted so much time and business just for her hobby. She must be a highly important person. Even if I can¡¯t kidnap her, I must at least maintain a good relationship with her. That way, if I encounter pirates in the wild next time while being a merchant, they might let me go because of her. Anyways, I have a salary now. I¡¯ll make up for that drink I owe her. Before I escape, I¡¯ll max out her Affinity towards me. Speaking of which, a salary of 2 gold coins per day in the NPC world isn¡¯t low. 1 gold coin = 10 silver coins = 100 bronze coins. It¡¯s more than enough to buy some bread, some small dishes, and some alcohol for survival. However, if I want to use it to repair my sword and purchase new weapons, it¡¯ll be pretty tight. As for recruiting and hiring troops, it¡¯s basically impossible. The ¡°cannon fodder¡± Level 1 Skeleton Soldiers in this game cost 16 gold coins per unit. The Elite Level 1 Pikeman Soldiers cost 50 gold coins each. These soldiers with 5 HP or 10 HP die in giant batches on the battlefield, where fireballs and arrows could rain down any second. This game was not something that the average player could afford to play. As for fixing his ship, that was completely impossible. Now that the tavern was full and all the dishes were ordered, Da Fei got to relax. As an expert, Da Fei would not waste his time here. He finally had the opportunity to get close to the pirates. He could not miss out on the chance to gather information. Da Fei used the opportunity when serving a table of pirates to ask. ¡°Do any of you know about the Pirate King¡¯s unique skill, Stealth Sailing?¡± Instantly, the entire room full of pirates turned silent. Then, they all stared at Da Fei in unison. Da Fei tensed up. Did I ask something I shouldn¡¯t have? Suddenly, the entire room full of pirates were all laughing, as if they heard the world¡¯s funniest joke. ¡°Even a little kid like you who¡¯s still drinking breast milk knows about the Pirate King¡¯s ¡°Stealth Sailing¡±, intimidating across all Seven Seas. How can we not know about it?¡± Oh! So famous, intimidating across all Seven Seas? Da Fei was overjoyed. ¡°Then, how can I learn this Skill?¡± Chey! The pirates were tired of entertaining him. They went back to eating and drinking by themselves. No way? Nothing else? Makes sense though. How can these random people know about the Pirate King¡¯s unique skill? Furthermore, with my current status, they won¡¯t tell me even if they knew. What should I do? I can only encounter these random people when I¡¯m carrying dishes here. Must I wait until that Katerina comes back to ask her? That¡¯s a must. However, the more information I can collect, the better. I have one more move. Da Fei smiled. ¡°However, based on what I know, the Pirate King¡¯s unique skill isn¡¯t that amazing. It was easily cracked by the Navigator, Renoir.¡± Suddenly, all the pirates in the room looked over again. Hehe! The prodding worked! I¡¯ll see which one of you disagrees and debates with me! The truth will be revealed the more we talk! As expected, the pirate sitting next to Da Fei asked with a deep voice, ¡°Where did you hear that from?¡± Wahaha! Can¡¯t keep your cool, right? This is understandable. Renoir died on the journey back. This event was only documented in the seafarer¡¯s journal. Markal is probably the only one who knows about this. Nobody else will be aware of this. How should I answer that? Just then, the fat shopkeeper yelled. ¡°This is a tavern! Eat! Drink!¡± Then, he pointed at Da Fei. ¡°You! Go help out in the kitchen!¡± Instantly, all the pirates in the room started drinking, eating, and gambling again, as if nothing had happened. Looking at everyone¡¯s carefully concealed expressions, Da Fei was even more surprised. Could it be that the Pirate King¡¯s unique skill only existed as a terrifying rumor, but not something that could be inquired or researched on? Anyways, his first day spent as a waiter in-game passed by painfully like that. Chapter 44 The next morning, Da Fei was tasked with cleaning and covering the smell of alcohol in the tavern with a bucket of perfume. Da Fei knew that this was the artistic style of an illiterate female pirate. Later, when the different heroes and musicians got into position, the voluptuous, wild, and sexy Katerina slowly made her entrance. Da Fei had money today, so he smiled and said, ¡°To thank you for your kindness, let me buy you a drink today, Miss.¡± Katerina took the glass and swirled it in her hand. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on the alcohol and she asked with a serious expression, ¡°I heard that you know about Stealth Sailing?¡± Da Fei was overjoyed! I wanted to ask you about it, but you took the lead instead. This is much better. I can improve our relationship and obtain more information about the Godly Skill at the same time. Those are ample reasons for me to reveal what I know. Da Fei hurriedly replied, ¡°I know a little bit.¡± Katerina was surprised. ¡°The pirates have a pretty decent intelligence network on the mainland. However, none of us have heard about the Pirate King¡¯s Stealth Sailing being cracked.¡± Da Fei instantly understood the situation. It seemed like the pirates were interested in the Pirate King¡¯s unique skill as well. Perhaps, the position of the Pirate King would change hands if someone cracked the unique skill? Haha, if that¡¯s the case, I won¡¯t be the one chasing you. Instead¡­ Da Fei smiled pretentiously. ¡°There is some information you just can¡¯t obtain.¡± Katerina asked, ¡°Yesterday, you mentioned that the Pirate King¡¯s Stealth Sailing was cracked by the Voyager, Renoir. Do you know Renoir?¡± Da Fei nodded. ¡°In a sense, I can be considered his student.¡± Katerina continued to ask, ¡°What evidence do you have to prove that you are his student?¡± What? Do I need to prove this kind of thing? Da Fei was stunned. Did he overdo it? Makes sense though. She¡¯s an NPC and requires some proof. There¡¯s no way they¡¯ll just believe whatever a player says. As for evidence¡­ oh right! Da Fei immediately took out the unclear Skill Book from Renoir. ¡°This is it! This is the thing he passed to me. Renoir¡¯s Nautical Skill Book.¡± Katerina took the book and stared blankly. ¡°I can¡¯t read.¡± ¡ªSputter! Da Fei was so shocked that he spit out his saliva. That¡¯s the only thing proving my relationship with Renoir! How? Should I find someone who can read to prove myself? That musician seems pretty artistic. He can probably read. Katerina did not throw the book back immediately. Instead, she asked as she toyed with it in her hands, ¡°Then, how much do you know about Stealth Sailing?¡± Oh, you¡¯re not focused on the evidence anymore? Good. Da Fei recalled what he read just a while ago. ¡°Not much. This skill likely involves the Reconnaissance Skill, Nautical Skill, Arcane Skill, and other skills. It may even be related to the material of the ship itself. Hence, it should be a group skill, not an individual one.¡± Hehe, this is the research outcome included in the seafarer Juan¡¯s documentation. Katerina replied. ¡°That¡¯s all?¡± Da Fei nodded. ¡°Yes. That¡¯s why I wanted to check on how much the pirates knew about this.¡± Katerina shook her head and asked again, ¡°I heard that when Big Beard Barak captured you, you had already caught a Great White Shark?¡± Hehe, I don¡¯t know what intention she has in asking that, but this sounds like a woman asking, ¡°I heard you destroyed that amazing XXX in your fight?¡± As a manly man, I will not waste any opportunities to display my heroic figure in front of a beautiful woman. Da Fei pretentiously spread his hands. ¡°If you have the right method, it¡¯s not hard to capture a Great White Shark.¡± Katerina smiled. She did not say anything else. Instead, she just rolled the book between her hands. Hey, when I gave her the binoculars, she also played with them like this. However, she was like a child back then, but she looks like an adult playing with a lover¡¯s token of love now. Da Fei¡¯s heart jumped. Is she smitten by my amazing abilities and my philosophy? Perhaps, perhaps¡­ no way, no way! Legendary Hero! Finally, after a long period of silence, Katerina asked again, ¡°Have you decided?¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart sank. ¡°Decided on what?¡± Katerina smiled. ¡°Of course on whether to join us. Will you be content with washing dishes all your life here? Time waits for nobody. While you are here washing dishes, others have left you in the dust.¡± Eh, as expected, she¡¯s interested in my talents! Even though I¡¯m indeed an amazing talent, even though she is a legendary beauty, I still will not be shaken. Da Fei shook his head. ¡°I will not join the pirates.¡± Humph? Leave me in the dust? I don¡¯t believe that. Not unless you go your whole life without a single storm or a single opportunity for me to catch up to you! As long as I escape from here, even without a ship, I can still become rich with my Epic Mission. Katerina¡¯s gaze turned cold. ¡°Do you really look down so badly upon the pirates?¡± Da Fei sighed. ¡°I don¡¯t look down on you. It¡¯s just that pirates have limited room for development.¡± Katerina said coldly, ¡°Then you¡¯re looking down on us!¡± Boom! She held the Skill Book upright and knocked it straight into the table. It instantly disfigured the hardcover of the book! Da Fei was terrified! No way, I offended the rich lady! Then, something even more shocking happened¡ªwith a loud ¡°zip¡±, she directly tore off the golden cover of that Skill Book! ¡ªCough! You can tear apart Skill Books? Oi, oi, this is my mysterious Skill Book, you can¡¯t do that! Just then, a glowing, golden piece of paper fell out from between the leather linings of the cover page that was torn off. Good stuff! Da Fei¡¯s pupils contracted. This golden glow is unique to godly items! Katerina smiled and held the piece of paper between her fingers. ¡°I can¡¯t read. Read it for me?¡± Da Fei was instantly stunned as he stared at the piece of paper! It wasn¡¯t a treasure map! It wasn¡¯t an ATM card! ¡ªVoyager¡¯s Wisdom Scroll: Able to convert a hero¡¯s Nautical inborn special ability into a Voyager occupation special ability! Renoir¡¯s words: ¡ªI¡¯ve seen many excellent sailors. They possess innate natural abilities. Unfortunately, our current occupation system is so underdeveloped. It can¡¯t support their special abilities. Some of them have special abilities that don¡¯t benefit from their chosen occupation. Some of them can¡¯t train and improve their special abilities. It¡¯s such a waste. If their special abilities are God¡¯s gifts to them, it seems like only God can train and develop them! ¡ªTo the person who discovers this scroll: Firstly, you must be a Voyager! Next, you have proven that you possess the excellent insight and observation skills required of voyagers by discovering this scroll. You are qualified to utilize my treasured God¡¯s Wisdom Scroll that includes all the learnings from my entire life. ¡­ Da Fei had a revelation. The last line in the Skill Book, ¡°The truth is often hidden in familiarity¡± was referring to this? The secret was hidden inside! I had no idea at all about what this book was about, and there were no hints, but it was instantly revealed by her. This is the difference between a Legendary Hero and a beginner like me! This is something that can change a hero¡¯s destiny! What does that mean? It means that I can change my inborn special ability, Storm Voyager, into an occupation special ability. That way, my inborn special ability will be empty! That means I can choose a new one! This is the legend where a player can change his own special ability with enough hard work! No, I¡¯m even more amazing than that. I¡¯ll have two special abilities! Under normal circumstances, I might have needed a lot longer to discover the secret of this book. However, the Legendary Hero did that on my behalf now. She opened a shortcut for me! As Katerina looked at Da Fei¡¯s surprised expression, she smiled and said, ¡°What¡¯s this? Read it for me?¡± What the heck! This is a god-tier item that can change anyone¡¯s destiny! As a pirate, what will happen if it falls into her hands? I need to think of a way to get it back! Da Fei coughed. ¡°It¡¯s a letter.¡± Katerina replied, ¡°What letter needs to be written on such high-grade material?¡± Da Fei¡¯s brows tightened! Should I be honest? She¡¯s a pirate, a thief! The System setting allows her occupation to legally take the player¡¯s items! I can never discover this piece of paper with my current ability. She¡¯s the one who discovered it, so that¡¯s even more reason for her to keep it. Should I lie to her? She can¡¯t read! However, wouldn¡¯t my death be even more tragic if I¡¯m exposed? However, women. They turn into geniuses when they see money. They turn into idiots when they find love. I must gamble now! Da Fei made up his mind and coughed. ¡°It¡¯s a letter for a goddess¡­¡± Katerina teased. ¡°Goddess? Read it for me?¡± Da Fei affectionately looked at her. ¡°My goddess, I still remember the day we first met. We will drive the most luxurious ship and tour the world. We will sell off all the gold on this ship. We will buy an island, and build our own kingdom and estate there!¡± If she is fooled by me, I can ask for my paper back. If she exposes me, I¡¯ll tell her that I was just using the excuse to confess to her, without any intentions to lie to her. This is called a well-thought plan! Katerina stared at the piece of paper in shock. ¡°That¡¯s it?¡± Da Fei nodded. ¡°Yes, yes. So, Miss, please return the letter to me¡­¡± Katerina smiled. ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Da Fei said affectionately, ¡°That¡¯s the sound of the waves hitting the hull.¡± Katerina laughed. ¡°I like this letter! It¡¯s as if it¡¯s written for me!¡± ¡ªSputter! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of blood¡­ Chapter 45 Da Fei recovered his senses and hurriedly said, ¡°Miss, this is an important item of my teacher¡¯s, it¡¯s his relic¡­ Please, please return it to me!¡± Katerina shook her head, smiled, and said, ¡°A scroll of such high-end material is naturally very important, but it will have to wait until you made your decision. However, I need one unit of pearl now, can you help me go to the nearby island and gather them within two days?¡± ¡ªSystem Message: Katerina sent you a quest, ¡°Gather one unit of pearl within two days¡±. Do you accept? ¡ªMission Guide: The beach on Barren Islands has pearl oysters. At the same time, there are also highly dangerous crocodiles and large-size reptiles. What the heck! This is clearly using my super-powerful scroll to compel me to join the gang! However, now that I¡¯m under her control, what choice do I have? Da Fei could only accept his fate helplessly. Katerina drank a sip of wine again in satisfaction and said, ¡°Oh right, before departing, you can go to the equipment store on the island to repair your weapons and replace your equipment with better ones. This pearl isn¡¯t something that can be gathered by ordinary people. I believe that someone like you who can kill a Great White Shark singlehandedly won¡¯t disappoint me, right?¡± Da Fei numbly said, ¡°My money isn¡¯t enough¡­¡± Katerina smiled insipidly and said, ¡°Go to Barak¡¯s store. He snatched your Great White Shark, so no matter what you take from him, he shouldn¡¯t have any objection. Leave after you¡¯re done preparing, the small ship is already arranged for you at the dock. Don¡¯t disappoint me, or else¡­¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened and could only nod. ¡°Understood.¡± ¡­ Leaving the tavern, Da Fei hatefully imagined ¡°pa pa pa¡±-ing this female pirate a hundred times in his heart! Yup, imagined slapping her face. What should I do now? Is the scroll important or my future more important? My future is unpredictable, but the scroll is right in front of my eyes! Become a pirate! Get back the Wisdom Scroll! Seduce this Legendary Hero! And then, sell away this account! Such a high-grade account with dual Classes, dual Specialties, plus a large ship, an Epic Hero, and a Legendary Hero, it would definitely be worth a few million, right? Those large teams and large guilds definitely won¡¯t dislike this pirate account, right? Da Fei made up his mind and immediately logged onto the website to check the current market prices. But once he logged on the forum, two large top posts instantly blinded his eyes! ¡ª¡±Warmest congratulations! Blood Sea Studio became a member of Dragon Slayer Guild!¡± ¡ª¡±Blood Sea Studio places a bounty on trash player Da Fei throughout the server, kill him every time he¡¯s seen! Those that discover his whereabouts will be awarded 100 Yuan!¡± What the heck!! So this Raging Sea of Blood¡¯s background is not simple! He can actually cooperate with the boss of the Dragon Slayer Guild! ¡ª¡±Our Blood Sea Studio¡¯s slogan is: Wanted throughout the server, kill until Level 0. Loot all his equipment, peel off his skin, kill him until he never logs on again. We only recognize the account and not the user! Reporting is awarded, killing is awarded¡­¡± What the heck! Momentarily, Da Fei clicked his tongue repeatedly from seeing this. If they only recognized the account and not the user, could his account still be sold? Even if it could be sold, others would definitely lower the price using this as a reason. In the end, his account that could be sold for a few million might only be able to be sold for tens of thousands! Or, maybe this Raging Sea of Blood would send someone to pretend to be the buyer and purchase his account at a low price, benefiting himself from Da Fei¡¯s hard work, resulting in Da Fei giving him back what he had taken from Raging Sea of Blood with interest? Chey! You¡¯re ruthless indeed! It¡¯s not like I was never wanted throughout a whole server before, this doesn¡¯t frighten me! Very well, this also can help to strengthen my resolution. I¡¯m not selling this account anymore! I couldn¡¯t bear to sell it away in the first place! What should I do if I¡¯m not selling it? Am I really going to become a pirate under that female pirate¡¯s control? Suddenly, Da Fei¡¯s heart jumped. Wait! Why did she give me a quest? Is this considered a Trial Quest for hiring a Hero? But I didn¡¯t fulfill her prerequisite, right? How can it be that she will give me the subsequent quest? Does it mean she was sure that I will definitely give in and become a pirate? No, no, no, impossible. She¡¯s an NPC, NPCs have to abide by their programming and logic. Could it be that the job change to Pirate isn¡¯t the prerequisite? Or this quest isn¡¯t a Trial Quest? Never mind, I have no choice now. Let¡¯s take a step at a time and see what happens. ¡­ Barak¡¯s store was very big and also very easy to find because it was called ¡°Barak¡¯s Store¡±. Looking at the few words on the store¡¯s signboard, Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Even this kind of big beard was literate, but Katerina was illiterate? Could she be teasing him on purpose? Da Fei entered the store and saw all kinds of weapons, equipment, pots, bowls, ladles, basins, books, oil paintings, bonsai, statues, clothes, and furniture filling up the entire place like a warehouse. What a large grocery store! Needless to say, he directly sold the things he snatched or robbed here. However, who would come and buy these items? A few pirates playing cards in the open space glanced over with fierce gazes. ¡°What do you want?¡± This was probably the store assistance with the worst service attitude in the world, right? Da Fei hurriedly answered, ¡°Miss Katerina asked me to buy¡­ Take, take some stuff.¡± ¡°Chey! Take it yourself.¡± All of the pirates scorned, turned their heads, and continued playing cards. Da Fei could not help but become shocked. That was all? Not bothering about him at all? Let him take the stuff himself? What the heck, this Katerina¡¯s words were really effective. Da Fei then picked up a sword beside him and took a look. Then, his eyebrows couldn¡¯t help but twitch! ¡ªSharp Forged Steel Sword: Attack +10, Damage +5, Attack Speed -1, Durability 87/120. What the heck! This sword gives +10 Attack! Don¡¯t scare me! They actually really have good stuff here. This, this, this, this is a supermarket with free items! This is clearly the best paradise in the world! Brouhahaha, I will become rich just by taking a few hundred pieces of equipment and then selling them after getting back! ¡ª¡±Put down the items you don¡¯t need!¡± A pirate warned coldly without even turning his head. Er! So there are still rules to follow. Da Fei put down the sword and asked smilingly, ¡°Excuse me, is there a full set of ballista¡¯s spare parts?¡± A pirate coldly said, ¡°No, ballista is not for sale!¡± What the heck! They really treat ballista as a treasure. What should I do if there is no ballista, I was placing my hopes all on it! They actually don¡¯t even allow ballistas to be repaired. As expected of these poor pirates with no money, their playing field is small and has no future! Da Fei was unwilling to accept and asked, ¡°What about the arrows? There should at least be ammunition for sale, right?¡± The pirate impatiently said, ¡°Red chest, at most 100 rounds!¡± It will do. At least ammunition is somewhat replenished. After Da Fei packed the arrows, he circled around the warehouse. There was still no Pikeman weapons. As expected, no one used pikes when going out to the sea. After he chose a full set of fine armor consisting of helmet, body armor, handguard, belt, and shoes, his character¡¯s Defense increased by a total of 30 points. Juan¡¯s +3 tattered armor could finally retire officially. However, no matter how rubbish the retired equipment was, there was a market for it. Rich Overlord players could purchase it for their soldiers to equip. 30 Defense was the Human¡¯s Level 7 unit, Angel¡¯s base Defense. If the opponents were 0 Attack skeletons, according to the Attack/Defense calculation formula, 30 Attack/Defense difference would reduce 60% of Damage. He really felt like a changed person now. Basically, as long as he didn¡¯t encounter BOSS-level creatures, he could still accomplish many things. ¡ª¡±Are you done? Hurry up and leave if you are done!¡± The pirate shop assistants began to chase him away already. Damn, although they are seemingly unmindful, they are actually watching very closely. I can¡¯t even take one extra item. Da Fei reluctantly left the store. Then again, this kind of free equipment supermarket felt really good. However, this also illustrated a problem¡ªthe things that pirates robbed had no method of selling, even the good stuff could only be stacked up like garbage. This proved again that being a pirate had no future. Suddenly, Da Fei¡¯s heart jumped! This was a chance, right? If he could maintain a good relationship with the pirates, he could help them sell their loot, right? Could he use this as a reason for them to let him off? No matter if he was successful or not, he must give it a try. And before that, he must complete the beauty¡¯s quest to accumulate her favorable impression of him. She was an important character, he mustn¡¯t waste the opportunity. Da Fei came to the dock and, as expected, there was a small ship with a few pirates sitting on it. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The pirates didn¡¯t waste any words and began to row the ship after raising the sails. Haha, she even gave me a few soldiers? Da Fei excitedly said, ¡°Are you guys here to assist me?¡± They coldly replied, ¡°Dream on, settle it yourself.¡± What the heck, so they are here to monitor me in fear of me escaping. Barren Sea had many islands. After half a day of rowing, they reached their destination. It was a large island with many trees at the most outer of the archipelago, Crocodile Island. What the heck, so there really exists a Crocodile Island, that plump shopkeeper wasn¡¯t joking? And then, the small ship reached land. A pirate took out an hourglass and coldly said, ¡°Starting from now, you have 2 days. If you can¡¯t complete it, we will leave without you!¡± Da Fei got a shock. ¡°Seriously?¡± All of the pirates laughed loudly and said, ¡°Unless you¡¯re willing to join the gang, you can fend for yourself on the island!¡± One of the pirates said, ¡°Wherever there are crocodiles, there are pearl oysters. Also, the crocodiles here are very strong, and there are also many ferocious beasts on the island. However, since you can catch a big shark yourself, it definitely isn¡¯t a problem for you, right?¡± Then, all of the pirates laughed loudly, not minding Da Fei anymore and started drinking and sleeping. Da Fei instantly had a bad feeling. Could it be because he soloed a shark BOSS, she felt that he was especially capable and so issued a super difficult quest to force him to give in? Very soon, Da Fei¡¯s worry became reality. In the shallow waters in the distance, there was really a large group of huge crocodiles drifting around. Also, these crocodiles were all called Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile! Those monsters whose names could be seen directly were definitely those that had their information disclosed on the official web. ¡ªBarren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile: Large-size leader reptile creature, Attack: 30, Defense: 50, Damage: 85-110, Health Points: 900, Attack Speed: 8, Movement Speed: 14, EXP: 15,000, Special Skill: Camouflage, Ambush, Rampage, Crippling Bite, Plague Resistance. Barren Sea was where pirates were rampant, causing countless deceased to drift near the surrounding islands here, breeding very savage and huge crocodiles as a result. Their skins were hard and thick like armor, and even though they were very lazy and normally just stayed still like a log, once they attacked, the speed created from their large strides was beyond a human¡¯s imagination¡ªno one could escape from their pursuit! Da Fei was so shocked his jaw dropped! They were BOSS monsters, all of them! So many BOSSes together at one spot was definitely a quest scene, right? Under normal circumstances, how could BOSS monsters possibly be distributed in groups? Such a high amount of Health Points and Defense, such a shocking Moving Speed, it was definitely not something his 8 HP Ballista could handle! Even if his Ballista was in full health, it wouldn¡¯t be able to withstand so many BOSSes. One unit of pearl was 100 portions, which meant he had to harvest 100 pearls! Did it mean he would have to kill all of the crocodiles here? Was that even possible? He couldn¡¯t even kill a single crocodile! Even the ballista couldn¡¯t deal with it. He, a Pikeman, was even more unable to settle it, right? Use Hidden Movement to go underwater and steal the pearls? What a joke. No matter how awesome Hidden Movement was, it wasn¡¯t possible to not stir the water at all when trying to swim. It was not like he was a ghost! Basically, these crocodiles definitely couldn¡¯t be killed through brute force. However, since this was a gathering quest, killing monsters was never the main point. Being a professional, Da Fei began to ponder deeply about all the seemingly impossible gathering quests that had ever happened in history. Momentarily, he felt a deep aching in his balls¡­ Chapter 46 Normally, for a gathering mission where the item was protected by a BOSS monster, it would require more than one person to cooperate together, where one would lure the monster away while the others gathered the item. But he had no one to cooperate with him now. The pirates here were very unfriendly towards him, it was impossible for Da Fei to command them. Also, Ambush-type monsters like crocodiles weren¡¯t easy to lure away too. Ambush-type monsters normally were all very patient and wouldn¡¯t easily waste their energy. They wouldn¡¯t attempt to attack if they weren¡¯t confident of succeeding. If they were really successfully lured, that would mean the person would have to face their lighting fast attack. It would be very easy to fail and really get eaten by the monsters. Hidden Movement definitely wouldn¡¯t work, he would be exposed once he went into the water. What should he do? If he could helm his big ship here, he might be able to fish the crocodiles like how he fished the Great White Shark. But now, he had practically no tools to rely on! Fishing? Suddenly, Da Fei¡¯s heart jumped! That¡¯s right! He could fish! Thinking of this, Da Fei laughed and immediately went into the forest. The pirates mentioned that there were ferocious beasts on the island. If there were ferocious beasts, there would definitely be prey too. And now, Da Fei was going to become a hunter. He immediately went into stealth mode using Hidden Movement after entering the forest and scouted the environment with his binoculars. Shortly later, a goat-like animal came into sight¡ªBarren Island Goat! It would do. It had a lot of meat, suitable to be used as a bait to lure the crocodiles away. He slowly moved near the goat¡ªpat! A twig crackled below his foot and the goat was instantly alarmed and ran away in a breeze. What the heck, that speed was indeed not something a human could catch up to. Continue! Da Fei found a few more goats after that, but all of them escaped before he could even get close. Da Fei got depressed. A Pikeman becoming a hunter was indeed a joke. Even a primitive man would know to use a bow, an arrow, or a javelin. He was worse than a primitive man. I shall look for ferocious beasts instead! Those won¡¯t run! Very quickly, he found a ferocious beast¡ªBarren Island Big Leopard! Da Fei instantly checked its information. ¡ªBarren Island Big Leopard: Attack: 17, Defense: 8, Health Points: 75, Damage: 11-20, Attack Speed: 23, Movement Speed: 20, Special Skill: Lurk, Climb Tree, Rapid Bite, Throat Lock Kill. Da Fei was instantly silent. The reason why the ferocious beast was called the ferocious beast, it must be because it had a huge advantage that mere humans couldn¡¯t match up to. Looking at its scary Attack Speed of 23, Da Fei felt slightly weak already. This Attack Speed wasn¡¯t something a human could reach. It was difficult for it to not be fast with its claws and mouth even if it didn¡¯t want to. My 20 Attack, 30 Defense, 71 HP, 8-10 ground Damage together with the paralysis toxin special effect, can I defeat it? This was hard to say, it required careful consideration. But just as he was still contemplating, the leopard was suddenly alerted and dashed up a tree, hiding in the leaves. What the heck! You¡¯re a ferocious beast, what are you hiding for! Since it showed weakness, he couldn¡¯t care too much now and rushed under the tree, raising his pike and provoking. ¡°Come down!¡± The leopard only showed its eyes between the leaves, not moving at all. Da Fei kicked the tree and provoked it again. ¡°Come down!¡± Leopard: ¡°Meow!¡± After trying for a while, he could only give up and sighed. ¡°Why am I so awesome, all of them are scared of me?¡± For a human, if there wasn¡¯t any monetary gain, they wouldn¡¯t kill animals. But for animals, unless it was to hunt for food or to protect their territory, they wouldn¡¯t fight or kill meaninglessly. Animals deeply understood what being injured would mean for them. Even a top predator would not be able to catch a rabbit if it was injured and could only starve to death. And now, although Da Fei wasn¡¯t injured, he was an untrained hunter in the first place. In this forest where only the fittest survived, he couldn¡¯t even catch a rabbit. Mere humans were indeed very insignificant. However, humans have wisdom. Even amongst humans, there are few with as much wisdom as me! Therefore, Da Fei searched around on the ground and finally found a rabbit nest, then caught a fat rabbit. Brouhahaha, I finally have my bait! Of course, just one rabbit wasn¡¯t enough to stuff the gap between the crocodile¡¯s teeth; they might also not be interested in the rabbit at all. Da Fei¡¯s main objective wasn¡¯t the crocodiles, but to use the rabbit to lure an even larger prey. That¡¯s right, he was using small fish to bait a medium fish, then medium fish to bait big fish, then big fish to bait the pretty female pirate! Da Fei came near the shallow water where the crocodiles rested and chose a spot that wouldn¡¯t alert them. Then, he started assembling the ballista. After doing so, he made a test shot towards the beach. Then, he placed the rabbit at where the arrow landed. The reason he was doing this was to ensure that he could hit his target without needing to aim the ballista again. After all, if what he lured was a small and fast animal like a fox, he wouldn¡¯t have time to aim. Also, the range of the ballista was very far, it wouldn¡¯t easily alert the prey. Therefore, making it easy for him to shoot it. After setting up this trap, Da Fei seated at the base of the ballista and waited quietly. Time passed slowly. Da Fei yawned for quite a few times, then suddenly saw a white shadow flashing past¡ªwhat the heck! Da Fei didn¡¯t manage to clearly see what it was, but he instinctively fired. The arrow shot out with a bomb shot, peng! Blood and feathers splattered! It was an osprey! It almost stole the prey he caught through lots of effort! This was really using a cannon to shoot a fly. If it wasn¡¯t because the osprey slowed down to grab the rabbit, such a large weapon like the ballista would probably miss! Luckily things went well. Not only did he preserve his rabbit, but he also got an additional bird now. This was the effect he wanted. Da Fei placed the osprey and rabbit together and didn¡¯t dare to lose focus this time. The binoculars didn¡¯t leave his hands at all, staring vigilantly at both the sky and forest. Shortly later, all kinds of fox-like animals poked their heads out from the grass patches in the forest. Hehe, come, come, let¡¯s see if you guys are more cunning than me. The result was glorious. By night, he had a stack of meat made up of different kinds of foxes, ospreys, and seabirds. However, the crocodiles in the water weren¡¯t moved at all. Da Fei started to get anxious. Crocodiles are scavengers, right? They didn¡¯t see the stack? Didn¡¯t smell the blood? Or are they just not interested? Or do I have to lure all of the big-sized beasts in the forest to make a large mountain of corpses? Or is it that this move was wrong from the first place, the crocodiles won¡¯t be attracted by this at all? Just as he was getting anxious, the grass in the forest moved. A big fellow was coming! Da Fei instantly got alerted. It appeared, the Barren Island Scavenger Lizard! ¡ªBarren Island Scavenger Lizard: Attack: 13, Defense: 15, Damage: 11-18, Health Points: 130, Attack Speed: 8, Movement Speed: 7, EXP: 570, Special Skill: Decay Tracking, Life-Taking Plague, Corpse Eating. The Scavenging Lizard¡¯s tongue had a very strong sense of smell; it could smell the scent of a corpse from a few kilometers away. They fed on rotten corpses all year round, so their teeth and saliva were filled with all kinds of incurable toxins. No matter how strong the animal was, once it was bitten by the Scavenger Lizard, it might survive for one or 15 days, but only death awaited them in the end! This was the reason why the Scavenger Lizards that didn¡¯t have outstanding combat power or speed were like the king of the island here. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Without question, this model and design were obviously copied directly from Indonesia¡¯s Komodo Dragon. If this was the case, his corpse mountain could be achieved now. With this Scavenger Lizard¡¯s HP and Defense, he could kill it with one shot! As expected, when the first lizard walked into the trap unsuspectingly, Da Fei killed it with one shot. ¡ªSystem Message: You killed a Barren Island Scavenger Lizard, you obtained EXP +570. Looking from just its data alone, this EXP was still acceptable! But compared to its terrifying skills, this EXP was a bit too low. Since the first one came, the second one would follow too. Very quickly, more and more lizards appeared. In the dark of the night, the eyes of these lizards were like lightbulbs, the entire grass patch near the beach lit up. What the heck! Did I attract all of the lizards on the island here? Come, come and add to my corpse mountain! Haha, brouhahahaha! Chapter 47 Under the night sky, Da Fei totally didn¡¯t need to aim, shooting round after round at those slow-moving, eyes-glittering large lizards. And those poor large lizards had no idea where the attacks were coming from even until the end. And in the sea, it was also glittering¡ªthe eyes of the crocodiles. They finally showed a reaction to the large lizards¡¯ approaching and began to gather towards the shore slowly. This tactic was effective, he was succeeding in luring the crocodiles! Da Fei became even more excited. After countless lizards were killed, a golden light descended from the sky. ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You have leveled to Level 20! Attribute Point +1, Skill Point +1, Health Points +2, Command Power +1, Tactical Position +1, Base Damage +1. ¡ªSystem Message: As a Junior Voyager, you obtain growth, you are rewarded with 1 assignable Attribute Point. Oh yeah! Leveled up! Junior Voyager only rewards 1 point every 5 levels, so Level 20 should have 4 points. And at Level 19, 3 was already awarded, so this 1 point makes up for it. However, once he thought of the Voyager¡¯s godly scroll in the female pirate¡¯s hands, Da Fei felt like his heart was being cut by a knife! This can¡¯t do, isn¡¯t it just a female NPC? It¡¯s not like she can make my balls burst, right? I don¡¯t believe that I can¡¯t settle her! Not only am I going to complete this quest, but I am also going to complete it beautifully. What¡¯s one unit of pearl worth? I¡¯m going to complete the quest exceeding the quota. I¡¯m going to collect all the pearls on this beach. A red light bloomed over the eastern horizon. It was going to be daybreak soon. After a night of killing, the corpses of the large lizards had already piled into a big stack of meat. And Da Fei was already not far from leveling to Level 21. I can proudly confirm that even though the whole world has possibly more than a million players starting with the ballista, there are definitely very few players that can use the ballista so superbly like me. I don¡¯t need units to protect the ballista. I also don¡¯t need to use the terrain to block monsters. I also don¡¯t need to aim and don¡¯t even need spare parts for maintenance. If this is not superb, what is? The realm of pros is not about all kinds of fancy tactics, but facing the most suitable enemy in the most suitable timing. Just like I said, I¡¯m a pro! A pro like me, how is it possible for me to lower myself to be a pirate? That will practically be a waste of talent. Intolerable! Being a merchant is the right way, brouhahaha! Finally, the crocodiles moved after watching for a night. They climbed up the shore in groups and began to enjoy this easily obtained feast. Even though the crocodiles were known for their immunity to diseases, they were also quite wary of the large lizards¡¯ decay toxins. This was also the reason why they only watched for the night. And this was the chance Da Fei was waiting for. After the crocodiles come ashore in groups, Da Fei immediately charges into the water to collect the shells. ¡ªSystem Message: You picked up a pearl oyster, you obtained a Blood Pearl! Blood Pearl! Looking at this marble-size red glass ball in his hands, Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched! Is this a pearl? Aren¡¯t pearls all white? Could it be this is an extremely rare variant? Doesn¡¯t that mean it¡¯s very valuable? Haha! The more valuable, the better. I had originally intended to gather all of the pearls here anyways! Da Fei began to gather the pearls crazily while the crocodiles began to swallow the feast crazily, both sides taking what they needed. Time also passed very quickly. In a blink of an eye, the scorching sun was up high¡ªit was afternoon now. The shells in the sea were getting fewer and harder to find, and the corpse mountain on the shore was almost gone too. It was time to return. By now, Da Fei had already gathered 345 Blood Pearls, which were three units and 45 portions, way above the quota of the quest already. Humph, a mere gathering quest like this isn¡¯t a problem for me at all. Da Fei went ashore in satisfaction and began to disassemble the ballista, preparing to go back. Turning around and looking in the direction of the small ship, he couldn¡¯t help but feel great. Humph! I want to see what your expressions will be like later and if you guys dare to look down on me again! I wonder what expressions that beauty will show when I give this stack of pearls to her? Give herself to me? Hahaha! I know her grade is very high, but my expectation isn¡¯t high. Just return the scroll to me and let us part ways peacefully. There isn¡¯t a reason to force me to stay, right? Of course, to guard against the crocodiles from attacking, while Da Fei was disassembling the ballista, he frequently turned his gaze to the sun-tanning crocodiles to check on them. Wait a minute! Suddenly, Da Fei discovered that something was not right! Didn¡¯t these crocodiles eat way too much? Their stomachs had already swelled into a large tent! How hilarious and funny was this? Da Fei immediately took out his binoculars and took a look. He saw a certain large crocodile with a small section of a large lizard¡¯s tail out of its mouth, and this large crocodile was still raising its head non-stop, attempting to completely swallow this tail down too. Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped in shock. What the heck, he was only focused on gathering pearls just now and didn¡¯t take a close look at them. Could it be that these crocodiles swallowed those large lizards whole? Crocodiles were unlike other ferocious beasts. Their front legs were too short, and they had no way of cutting up their prey to consume them. They were also unlike sharks that had a few rows of iron saw-like teeth, able to easily tear the meat of their prey. Have you seen how a crocodile eats its prey in the documentary, Animal World? Throwing their food up and then consuming it! A group of crocodiles bites into the prey they captured and then fights over it among themselves by biting into and tearing at it until they tear off a big chunk of meat. Then they raise their heads and swing them until they swallow it down their throats. However, for this kind of situation now, facing these large lizards that were smaller than them and more than them in numbers, was there a need to fight over them and tear at it? Just swallow it whole like how snakes do! Under normal circumstances, if a snake was full from eating, it would be in a totally defenseless state, right? Looking at those big tummies swollen like fully inflated balloons, a crazy, unstoppable idea instantly came into Da Fei¡¯s mind. How about shooting once and seeing what happens? That¡¯s right! Most people had this kind of mentality when they saw a balloon that was blown up to a very large size. Wouldn¡¯t they subconsciously wish to see it pop? If you saw a waiter carrying a lot of plates wobbling dangerously, wouldn¡¯t you subconsciously wish to see the plates drop onto the floor? What was this kind of mentality called in psychology again? Basically, Da Fei especially wished to fire at them now! However, Da Fei¡¯s intellect and desire started to struggle intensely! A game was a game, after all. How could it be possible that the real world¡¯s template would apply here? If the crocodiles were totally not affected at all, wouldn¡¯t he be asking for a beating? Under normal circumstances, how much damage could he inflict on those crocodiles? Master Ballista had 30 Attack, Base Damage 6-7. Da Fei was Level 20 now, he gained 19 stat points from leveling up. Along with Voyager¡¯s bonus of 4 stat points, it amounted to 23 points. (Note: Ballista is not affected by bonus damage from skills and equipment, so Captain¡¯s Sword¡¯s attributes have no effect on the ballista.) Total Damage = Base Damage x Hero¡¯s Strategy Attribute Points = 138-161. But the crocodile BOSS had a shocking Defense of 50 points, a 20 Attack/Defense difference with the ballista. So, the damage was only 50%, which transformed into 69-80. Facing the crocodile¡¯s 900 HP, was it possible? However, he had completed the quest anyways, and this ballista had already killed an unknown number of BOSSes too. He had already made the most of it. Even if he was asking for a beating, so be it. If he didn¡¯t try, how would he know what the result was? Finally! Da Fei¡¯s opportunistic personality won over his intellect¡ªfight! Instead of regretting what was done, it was better than regretting what wasn¡¯t done! It was just like buying a lottery. No matter how low the chance of winning was, as long as you gave it a try, you would have a chance of winning. If you didn¡¯t try at all, you would never have a chance of winning! Having made up his mind, Da Fei started to reassemble the ballista excitedly. Every time when he checked the lottery¡¯s winning numbers, he would be excited like this too. The ballista was assembled once again! Da Fei took in a deep breath, loaded 2 arrows in, and then aimed at a big balloon in the distance! Would this shot witness a miracle or witness a stupidity? ¡ªBoom!!! Two arrows shot out! Bang! Bang! A rain of blood spurted out! ¡°-243¡±! ¡°-251!¡± He succeeded! Da Fei stood up excitedly! This was a great reversal of offense and defense. This damage definitely meant that the ballista¡¯s Attack was higher than the crocodile¡¯s Defense by at least 10 points! A crocodile swollen from overeating was indeed defenseless! And at the same time, a row of system messages appeared. ¡ªSystem Message: You further completed Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile¡¯s information! ¡ªSystem Message: You obtained information on Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±. ¡ªIntelligence Analysis: After obtaining detailed intelligence about unknown creatures, the hero will be able to analyze and discover the fatal flaws of the creatures. During battles, the hero will be able to ignore the creature¡¯s Defense by 25%-100%. Learning Requirements: Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched in surprise! Isn¡¯t Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile¡¯s information shown on the official website? It can still be further completed? Grandmaster¡¯s sub-skill information? Da Fei loaded the ballista while opening the message window with the fastest speed, and then he discovered that there was something extra below the crocodile¡¯s special ability: ??? Discovered the crocodile¡¯s new unknown Special Skill! Needless to say, this Special Skill must be a negative Special Skill. In other words, I discovered the crocodile¡¯s weakness? What the heck, from their state now, the weakness was already very obvious. Was there still a need to discover it!? The crucial thing is, what¡¯s the matter with this Grandmaster sub-skill Intelligence Analysis that suddenly appeared? Isn¡¯t this skill already in the skill book? As long as I reach the Grandmaster level I can learn it directly, is there still a need to gather skill information? However, before he could think any further, the attacked large crocodile staggered over while roaring! Looking at its zombie-like speed, Da Fei laughed loudly. ¡°Since you ate my stuff, I shall collect it all back from you now!¡± Chapter 48 Facing this crocodile that was bulky and slowly pushing sand forward like a bulldozer, Da Fei¡¯s second volley was fired with a boom! ¡°-247!¡± ¡°-159!!!¡± ¡ªBang! As expected, it was really like a balloon exploding. A huge lizard that was completely stained with slime burst out from the crocodile¡¯s belly! ¡ªSystem Message: You killed a Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile, +15,000 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You have solo-killed a Boss monster that is of a higher level than yourself, the progress of completing the achievement ¡°Lone Warrior 100 Victories in a Row¡± increased: 12/100. ¡ªSystem Message: You obtained information on Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±. Haha! Brouhahaha! Da Fei¡¯s wild laughter resonated through the beach! Killing a BOSS that couldn¡¯t be defeated under normal circumstances with four arrows! What¡¯s this? This is me being awesome! Is there a need to think about what to do now? There are so many crocodile BOSSes here, such a difficult quest map, it isn¡¯t at all now! You all will help me achieve the dream of 100 consecutive wins! Under normal situations, this is only achievable by players who solely aim for this throughout the game. But now, this achievement is right in front of my eyes, just like how this feast was right in front of you guys! I¡¯m the true man who¡¯s standing at the top of the food chain! Another two crocodiles¡¯ bellies exploded and a golden light descended from the sky! Level 21! Leveled up! One crocodile gives 15,000 EXP, 100 crocodiles will be 1.5 million. To which level do I get from that? 24? 25? 26? Brouhahaha! I have only played for three days! What¡¯s the highest level a player has reached right now? Hm, who cares what level he is, I cannot be bothered to compete with others, brouhahaha! Continue! Another crocodile exploded without resistance. Barren Island¡¯s beach was currently showcasing the ugliest and most sinful slaughter of mankind. It wasn¡¯t hunting for survival, nor was it for self-defense, it wasn¡¯t even for trade, it was totally for EXP only! This was what a game was, gaming was really sinful! As players, exactly what kind of dark and twisted desire were they going to fulfill in the game? Da Fei¡¯s heart had calmed down from the initial craze and he began to ponder deeply about a sophisticated question¡ªwhy did the system notify him about obtaining information about Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡± every time he killed a crocodile, but he couldn¡¯t find this information anywhere? Where was this information? The key question was still the first thing he thought of just now. ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡± was clearly recorded in the Skill Book, as long as he reached the Grandmaster level, it could be learned using a Skill Point. It wasn¡¯t something like the skill ¡°Stealth Sailing¡± which wasn¡¯t recorded on the Skill Book and required players to gather information, so why did the System keep notifying about this information? To become a real expert, a real professional player, one must learn to think, learn to observe! Observational ability may be limited to a player¡¯s level and had no choice but to lose many important things, for example, that god-level scroll. But one¡¯s brain was their own, no one could take it away! That was how he obtained ¡°Voyager¡±. Therefore, this Grandmaster sub-skill that was the only one in Reconnaissance Skill that had high combat power, he would definitely not let it slip by so easily no matter what. Learning ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡± was actually not difficult, the difficult part was to level Reconnaissance Skill to the Grandmaster level! If he didn¡¯t reach Grandmaster-level, no matter how much information he gathered on the sub-skill, it wouldn¡¯t be of use. Then the problem next was to think about how to reach Grandmaster? The only hint the official web forum gave was that it required players to realize and discover themselves, there was more than one way of achieving it! This was the watershed between pros and ordinary players. It was recorded in Juan¡¯s diary that after he saw through Pirate King Red Beard¡¯s godly skill Stealth Sailing, a golden light descended and he leveled up. This was an important hint. But this message had a prerequisite, which was that his Reconnaissance Skill must at least reach Master-level first, right? And what level was his Reconnaissance Skill now? Advanced! Then what was there for him to realize and discover now! Nothing much needed to be said. At this kind crucial moment where he was obviously reaching enlightenment, it wasn¡¯t the time to be stingy with Skill Points. His levels were rising like sitting on a rocket, so why should he be afraid of not having enough Skill Points? What¡¯s more, Reconnaissance Skill was originally a skill he intended to max in the first place. Da Fei was no longer perplexed. He took out the Reconnaissance Skill Skill Book while reloading¡ªthis time, he looked clearly and accurately. It was the Reconnaissance Skill Skill Book, no mistake! ¡ªSystem Message: You spent 1 Skill Point and learned Expert Reconnaissance Skill! ¡ªSystem Message: You spent 1 Skill Point and learned Master Reconnaissance Skill! He graduated from Reconnaissance Skill University! ¡ªMaster Reconnaissance Skill: Increase Hero¡¯s range of vision by 100%, Hero obtains night-vision ability. In Hero¡¯s own castle, Hero can train the special reconnaissance unit: Scout¡­ With the skill raising two levels, Da Fei felt the world widen! This kind of feeling was really refreshing! The advantage of having a refreshing vision was that his brain processes seemed to be refreshed as well. Come, now that I¡¯m at the Master-level already, I¡¯m qualified to discuss the Grandmaster level now. Since the way to comprehend the Grandmaster level isn¡¯t a sole one, Juan obviously gained enlightenment by using an anti-camouflage skill. Then, what skill can I use to gain enlightenment? Without a doubt, it must be the sub-skill Intelligence Analysis! This was the only skill taking effect now. Only after learning ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡± could he obtain information on that weird special skill in question marks, only then could the monster¡¯s weakness be further analyzed and discovered, and only then could his damage ignore the enemy¡¯s Defense. This was the principle behind the skill ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±, right? But now, the effect was in reverse. The monster ate too much and showed its weakness itself. It was impossible to not deal high damage, there was no need for analyzing already! Which meant that the situation now was deriving the skill through combat! Instead of the skill affecting the combat! Therefore, the System would continuously notify skill information on ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±. What was called deriving? For example, how did Newton¡¯s Law F=ma came about? The phenomenon was discovered first, then gathering data, then finalizing law, and finally obtaining the law¡¯s formula. This was deriving! The situation now was most likely deriving too. Boom! Another two arrows shot out! Although Da Fei¡¯s brain was busy, his hands didn¡¯t stop. ¡ªSystem Message: You killed a Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile, +15,000 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You further completed Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile¡¯s information! ¡ªSystem Message: You obtained information on Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched. He further completed the information again! He then hurriedly opened the crocodile¡¯s information window for a look. The three question marks had finally become words! ¡ªGluttony Weakness: Reptiles normally are unable to choose the size of their food and can only devour it whole, leading to a large drop in Defense and Speed. That¡¯s it! The reason why it was question marks just now is that my Reconnaissance Skill level was insufficient in gathering more detailed information just now! Now that it is the Master level, it¡¯s naturally possible now. Then, if it is the Grandmaster level, will the information gathered be even more detailed? After all, the Master level only mentions a large drop, but no exact values are given. These kinds of vague words are obviously unlike the standard Special Skill introduction, so there is definitely even more detailed information. The problem is, I¡¯m not Grandmaster level, right? At this instant, Da Fei¡¯s thought process became clear again! To prove his assumption, Da Fei immediately loaded the arrows and aimed at the next crocodile! Bang! With the death of this crocodile¡­ ¡ªSystem Message: You further completed Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile¡¯s information! Information again! Da Fei opened the information window to take a look again. There weren¡¯t any new question marks, it was still that line of words. Then, what information did he gathered? Was there a need to ask? It was naturally the System gathering sample data non-stop! Depending on how stuffed the crocodiles were, the degree of decrease in Defense and Speed was naturally different too. When all of the data was gathered, the detailed effect of ¡°Gluttony Weakness¡± would be discovered. This should probably be the effect of the Grandmaster Reconnaissance too! What¡¯s this? It¡¯s still deriving skill through combat! What does this signify? When the information on the Special Skill is completely gathered, it will also be the time I achieve the Grandmaster level! Haha, brouhahaha! Having thought through about this, Da Fei laughed loudly! After thinking for so long, in the end, wasn¡¯t it just leveling the Reconnaissance Skill to Master level first then killing this type of special monsters? There wasn¡¯t a need to think so hard anymore, he just had to continue killing! Chapter 49 As the ballista sounded off, the beach was stained red by blood, the rolling waves full of blood, the huge crocodiles¡¯ inflated corpses stacked into piles of small meat hills. A golden light flashed, Level 22! A golden light flashed again, Level 23!! A golden light continued to flash, Level 24!!! Killing BOSSes with 2 shots each, Da Fei¡¯s level skyrocketed! These BOSS monsters that used to instill fear in people became Da Fei¡¯s large amounts of EXP after their last breakfast. No, they became the stairs leading to Truth itself! How shocking was this grinding speed! Originally, the shark Da Fei encountered on the sea giving 2,500 EXP per shot was already quite an unbelievable reward. But compared to this 15,000 EXP crocodile, it was totally nothing at all. Why am I so awesome? Brouhahaha. Da Fei¡¯s laughter resounded over the island for a long period of time. What Da Fei didn¡¯t know was that his skyrocketing leveling had already shocked the professional observers in the China region! Within a mere two hours, Da Fei¡¯s ranking rose from tens of millions to the top 10,000 in the world! And his ranking was still increasing rapidly! After all, Da Fei had snatched a Godly Hero¡¯s quest reward and at the same time was wanted by Godly Hero Raging Sea of Blood through the top post on the forum. He could be considered a gossip celebrity already. It was difficult for him to not be followed by others. Host: ¡°Hello, players and friends! This week of Hero News is back again. The game has already started for six days, let us take a look at the situation in the world ranking now. ¡°In first place is still French player Natasa¡¯s Vampire Princess, Level 29! ¡°Second place and third place are still China¡¯s Star Team player Little Pig Run Fast¡¯s Griffin Breeder and Russia¡¯s War Angel Team player Baplov¡¯s Siege Technician, Level 28! Currently, these three people are already way ahead in the first three places for six days already. The superiority in level is difficult for other players to challenge them now. Other than the reason for them entering the game at the first timing, it is also largely because of their strong and more suitable for early-stage talents. It¡¯s also related to their hardworking grinding day and night without logging off. Of course, we don¡¯t encourage ordinary players to learn from them¡­ ¡°As for the world¡¯s top Godly Hero that many players are interested in, Sweden player Vurtne¡¯s Death Lord is still lying low, currently at Level 21 and ranking above ten million. But according to information gathered from the EU region forum, Vurtne seems to have discovered the existence of a Bone Dragon in the wilderness. If he really manages to obtain a Level 7 unit like the Bone Dragon which players have no way of obtaining at the current stage, his leveling speed will definitely skyrocket. ¡°And talking about leveling speed, what is worth paying attention is, currently in our China region, there is already one player. In the past two hours, which is also a day¡¯s time in-game, his level is rising with unbelievable speed and he¡¯s already Level 24 now. He¡¯s the Red Name player currently being largely criticized on the forum, Da Fei. This is a really surprising thing, and what¡¯s even more surprising is that he is already Level 24, but he still hasn¡¯t changed his occupation. We will continue to pay attention to his progress! ¡°Analyzing from the situation of the current top 100 of the level ranking, Heroes that are leveling fast are mostly medium- or low-level units and talent. In comparison, USA¡¯s Supernova Team¡¯s player Elisa¡¯s Unicorn Girl talent seems to be in a very awkward position. After all, in the early stage, players have no way of obtaining Level 5 units like Unicorn, so her situation now is equivalent to having no talent, and her ranking is also not much higher than ordinary players. ¡°And up until now, magic-type Hero players are still in an inferior situation as magic¡¯s mana consumption, magic with recovery speed using in-game days to calculate, expensive magic potions and limited supply all greatly limit magic-type Hero players¡¯ initial development. But magic-type players are without a doubt very strong in the later stages. Regarding this point, the vast magic-type Hero players, please have firm confidence in yourselves. Your future is bright, but the path is winding¡ª¡± And at this time, in front of the camera, a staff member passed a note to the host. The host¡¯s endlessly reporting suddenly stopped! After a short silence, in immense astonishment, she said, ¡°Hello, all players. Latest news, the China region player Da Fei we just reported on, has leveled up to Level 25 just now! Just before this week¡¯s program started, the latest news I received here was still Level 24. In less than 10 minutes¡¯ time, he leveled up again!¡± Needless to say, the China region¡¯s game forum began a new round of excitement. If it could be said that Da Fei became famous because of his vile actions having something to do with Godly Hero Raging Sea of Blood, then it was purely his capability now! Many ball-aching players on the forum were guessing how this big Red Name could still level up so crazily while not changing occupation. Hearing of this news, Raging Sea of Blood was filled with so much hatred that his heart was bleeding! No matter how this trash was leveling, his achievements were achieved by snatching his Godly Hero¡¯s reward! And there was only one reason why he was not changing class, which was that he still had not reached land yet. This hatred was absolutely irreconcilable! No matter how much money he had to fork out, as long as this trash dared to show up, he would pay to have him being killed until he became a Level 0! ¡­ Barren Sea, Crocodile Island. Following the death of another large crocodile with a boom, a golden light descended from the sky! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You leveled up to Level 25! Assignable Attribute Point +1, Skill Point +1, Health Points +2, Command Power +1, Base Damage +1. ¡ªSystem Message: As a Junior Voyager, you obtained growth, you are rewarded with 1 assignable attribute point. He leveled up again! And the thing that made Da Fei even more excited than leveling up was that the Truth that he had waited for so long had finally arrived! ¡ªSystem Message: You gathered Barren Island Large Man-eating Crocodile¡¯s complete information! ¡ªGluttony Weakness: Reptiles normally are unable to choose the size of food and can only devour it whole, leading to a large drop of 45%-75% in Defense and Speed. The data was out, the information was perfected! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! Through continuous reconnaissance and gathering information of powerful creatures, your Reconnaissance Skill has improved greatly. You comprehended Grandmaster level Reconnaissance Skill! ¡ªSystem Message: Through the continuous gathering of powerful creatures¡¯ information and researching their weakness, you obtained all of the information about the skill ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±. You comprehended the sub-skill ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±. ¡ªGrandmaster Level Reconnaissance Skill: Increases Hero¡¯s field of vision by 120%, able to discover creatures hiding in other dimensions. Brouhahaha! Comprehended, I really did comprehend the Grandmaster level skill as expected! Not only that, but even the sub-skill is also comprehended too! Intelligence Analysis, the godly skill that ignores enemies¡¯ defense by 25%-100%, the only formidable combat skill in Reconnaissance Skill. With this godly skill at hand, my ballista will shoot the shit out of those monsters! My life from now on does not need explanations, haha, brouhahaha! Although surprise rewards normally made people overjoyed, gaining the reward through analyzing and effort made people even more fulfilled and satisfied! And what made Da Fei even happier was that the comprehended Grandmaster skill and Intelligence Analysis were given by the System for free, he didn¡¯t need to spend any Skill Point on them. So that¡¯s how it is! Comprehending does not require the usage of Skill Points, it¡¯s equivalent to a System reward. On the other hand, learning skills require Skill Points. This is a totally different concept. Especially when leveling is difficult in the later stages and Skill Points are seriously tight, comprehending is really too important. Through the successful comprehension this time, Da Fei had already faintly figure out a knack to comprehending the Grandmaster level. Firstly, the enemy faced must be a monster stronger than himself by a lot. Then, this type of monster must be the same kind, and only through combat with the same kind of monster repeatedly could a large amount of comparable data be gathered and comprehended through it. Deducing from this, if he wanted to level up his Attack Skill to Grandmaster level, then the most reliable way was to attack monsters of the same type continuously? But then again, his ballista was already Master level, wasn¡¯t it? It had already been attacking the powerful crocodile BOSS repeatedly, wasn¡¯t it? Why was there no notification or signs of comprehending at all? Could it be that all of his brain power was used to think about Grandmaster Level Reconnaissance Skill, so there was no time to bother about the ballista? Haha! No rush, the first Grandmaster has already been comprehended, will the second Grandmaster still be far away? No, no, no, Juan has already said it in the diary. Being a Grandmaster already, will God level still be far away? This account of mine is already a Godly account. Even if I can¡¯t make a living here anymore, I can still sell it at the price it deserves and not accept anyone suppressing the price. That¡¯s right. From now on, I¡¯m a Grandmaster! Chapter 50 It was late at night in the game. The sky was starry and the moon was bright. The night breeze was, however, pungent. There were only a few crocodiles left on the beach. When another crocodile fell¡­ ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You obtained the achievement ¡°Lonely Hero 100 Victories in a Row¡±. Your grander accomplishment shows your supreme bravery. Your troops will be full of fighting spirit and courage. You obtained Health +20, Base Damage +1, Strategic Reward: Army Health +2, Command Power +10, Morale +1. At this moment, as the Grand Master generation, Da Fei gracefully nodded. ¡°Not bad, not bad! Whatever should come, will come.¡± Although the effect from Army Health +2 was not obvious, and it was even more the case for high-level units, it would be terrifying once it was stacked with Army Health +2 from the Defense Skill sub-skill ¡°Infinite Vitality¡±. It was equivalent to having Pikemen and Bowmen¡¯s Health increased by 50%, doubling the Health of 5 HP Skeletons. The increase was significant to low-level units. It could be considered a Godly leap for low-level units! It was really worthwhile for players to solo 100 Bosses. In the face of such Godly rewards, Morale +1 was just a bonus. Aye, this is my super cool adversity life. Even in a hopeless situation, I can create paradise! En, can I laugh to my heart¡¯s content? No, no! Image, image. I¡¯m now a Grand Master. I should remain calm no matter what happens. Haha. Wahahaha! Da Fei¡¯s current attributes: Player¡¯s Level: 25. Special ability: Storm Voyager. Occupation: Pikeman, Junior Voyager, Train beginners.

Total Skill Points used: 19 Unassigned Skill Points: 5 ¡­ Da Fei packed up the Ballista at ease and walked briskly towards a campfire in the distance on the beach. What kind of expression would they show when they found out he had killed all the crocodiles? Wahahaha, I can¡¯t wait to see it. On the beach where the boat was docked, the pirates surrounded a bonfire, grilled fishes, drank, and played finger-guessing games all night. Such days were unconventional, indeed. When Da Fei returned, the pirates were startled. ¡°Done? So fast?¡± Da Fei patted his resource pack and smiled. ¡°I killed so many crocodiles, it¡¯s a pity that their hides were wasted. You can have them.¡± The pirates were shocked. The leader suddenly stood up. ¡°The few of you stay here. I¡¯ll take a look!¡± Then, he disappeared into the night with a gust of wind. His skill definitely exceeded the Movement Speed of ordinary units. These pirates were indeed talented and should not be underestimated. However, they were too low-leveled. Da Fei would definitely not consider joining them. What other tricks do you guys have up your sleeves? Just show them to me. I was still worried about not having a chance to try out the power of Intelligence Analysis at the Grandmaster-level. Haha, wahahaha! As the pirates whispered among themselves, the pirate leader yelled as he ran back with an expression incredulous. ¡°All killed! They¡¯re really all killed! The crocodiles¡¯ corpses are all over the beach!¡± The pirates were in an uproar and looked at Da Fei as if they saw a monster. This was the expression Da Fei was after! Da Fei laughed calmly. ¡°I¡¯m the one who killed the Great White Shark single-handedly, after all. A few crocodiles are nothing.¡± The leader pulled out a flare gun and shot into the sky. A bright tracer flew into the night sky and exploded. Although Da Fei did not know his intention of doing so, it was definitely not to his benefit. He did not bother to ask and just sat quietly by the bonfire. He took out money to buy drinks and food. Of course, as a Grand Master, he ought to show his generosity. Da Fei gave them some alcohol. ¡°Come, let¡¯s drink together.¡± The pirates nodded. ¡°Drink! Everyone, continue drinking, haha!¡± At this moment, Da Fei felt he had earned some respect from the pirates. The feeling of being respected by one¡¯s enemies felt really good. Haha. When it was almost dawn, five or six medium-sized pirate ships appeared on the horizon. It seemed the pirates¡¯ reaction was indeed quick. The leader said grimly, ¡°It seems Boss came over personally.¡± Da Fei exclaimed in shock. ¡°Captain Rock?¡± The pirates said coldly, ¡°Kid, Captain Rock has the ability to promote you. Don¡¯t be ignorant.¡± Da Fei shook his head calmly without saying anything. A sparrow would not understand the ambition of a swan. The pirate ships dropped anchors as they neared the shore. A big bunch of pirates jumped into the water and walked to the beach. Rock¡¯s and Barak¡¯s huge silhouettes could be seen among the crowd. The night vision of the Reconnaissance Skill was indeed useful. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re not bad!¡± In the darkness, Da Fei made eye contact with him. Needless to say, Rock¡¯s Reconnaissance Skill was as good, if not better than his. ¡°It¡¯s okay.¡± With the exchange of just two sentences, Rock and Barak dashed to the bonfire. The other pirates ran toward the crocodile beach. Rock laughed. ¡°Kid, I¡¯m beginning to admire you. I didn¡¯t think that you would create such a stir from Katerina¡¯s little gathering mission. This time, we can develop this Blood Pearl Island, and we would receive specialty product income. How about doing it with us? You will also have shares in Blood Pearl Island.¡± ¡ªSystem Message: You helped the Barren Pirates develop a valuable specialty product. Your reputation among the Barren Pirates became Appreciated! ¡ªNovice Guide: Your increased reputation in a certain force will allow you to receive missions for the said force. You can buy the said force¡¯s unique specialty product and obtain discounts. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Appreciated? He could get Reputation from enemy forces? En, it didn¡¯t matter. Regardless, it was not a bad thing to have his Reputation increased. Da Fei did not agree. He asked, ¡°How are you related to Katerina?¡± Rock laughed. ¡°My daughter. Pretty, right?! As long as you join us, anything can happen between both of you!¡± ¡ªPuu! Thankfully, she¡¯s not your mistress. I feel better now. It¡¯s a pity¡­ Da Fei shook his head and sighed. ¡°I won¡¯t join you. But, I have a suggestion. I realized it¡¯s not easy to dispose of the goods. I want to help you. Hence, I should guarantee my legal status in the Hero Continent. What do you think?¡± Rock¡¯s expression darkened. Barak raged. ¡°Kid! You think too highly of yourself! What you have seen is all the rubbish that we cannot be bothered to deal with. We have connections for the real good stuff.¡± Rock laughed. ¡°It¡¯s okay. When you have thought it through, you can come and look for me anytime.¡± He waved his hand as he spoke. The pirates in charge of rowing understood immediately and pushed Da Fei up the small ship. ¡°Come, let¡¯s return.¡± Along the way, all the pirates rowed quietly. No one said a word to Da Fei. Da Fei knew he had offended the NPC. He repeatedly rejected the other party¡¯s appreciation and looked down on the other party¡¯s intentions. If he was in their shoes, he would have smacked him to death. As a pirate, his tolerance level was indeed extraordinary. Of course, this was a game, after all. It was impossible to force players to change occupations. In short, after landing, Da Fei returned to the tavern. Katerina sat in front of the bar coquettishly, as usual. Aye, beauty, if you were a real woman, I might really become a pirate for you. Unfortunately, I¡¯m too practical. Katerina teased her long hair and smiled as she raised her cup. ¡°For the warrior¡¯s victorious return, cheers.¡± Hehe, it was indeed different with his improved Reputation. Look at this beautiful woman¡¯s smile. Da Fei took out the Blood Pearls from his resource pack and presented it to her. ¡°I have completed the mission. This is a gift for you.¡± Katerina took over the gift and chuckled. ¡°Thank you!¡± ¡ªSystem Message: You completed the task ¡°Pearl Collection¡± and gained 50,000 EXP, 500 gold coins. Your affinity with Katerina has increased. Heck! 500 gold coins! I¡¯m rich! Katerina sighed. ¡°You refuse to join the pirates saying that the pirates¡¯ scale is not worthy. How big is the world outside?¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched! There was story development! Regardless of whether there was an opportunity, he had to quickly confess, and he must be shameless! Da Fei said anxiously, ¡°Very, very big. Especially the New World that the various Gods discovered. It¡¯s my dream place. If possible, I want to realize my dream with my beloved woman.¡± Katerina sipped her wine and sighed gently. ¡°There will be a storm three days later. Everyone will be activated to take precautions against it. There¡¯s nothing more at the tavern. You should rest for a few days.¡± Then, she turned around and left. Da Fei was shocked! A storm! Rest for a few days? Was she hinting him? Which meant, she knew that the storm was his only chance to escape? Was she helping him? Hey, hey, don¡¯t go. Shouldn¡¯t you return me the scroll if our affinity has increased? You should not do this! Chapter 51 He was being given a chance, a chance! How could the System drive a player to a corner? It would definitely give the player a hint, showing them how they could escape. There was no other choice. He had to take this opportunity to escape. It was now 12 at night and it would be three days later in-game at 6 AM the next morning. He decided to go to bed. It was a pity that he could only wave goodbye to his godly scroll as he escaped. If only things could remain as simple as they seemed at first. He should never have asked about the Stealth Sailing, sigh. The next day, Da Fei was awakened by the alarm clock. He immediately washed up, ate, and hurried online. Before the battle, the atmosphere was tense. The sky above the Barren Sea was gloomy and the surface of the sea was turbulent. The many pirates on the pier were busy tying boats docked in the port together. All along the streets were people bringing in the laundry. The storm was coming. Da Fei had memorized the plan. He waited nervously for the opportunity to escape. Later in the evening, the thunder rumbled and lightning flashed. The wind roared and rain fell like pillars from the sky. All the pirates withdrew indoors and the entire world was dark. In the dark rainy fog, one could not even see their fingers. The only thing that lit up the world was the sudden flashes of lightning. This was the time! Da Fei activated his Grandmaster-level Reconnaissance Skill, Hidden Movement, braved the wind and rain, and climbed the wall to where SV Fly was docked at the wharf. The huge body of SV Fly was tied firmly to the pier by hundreds of thick ropes. It rattled and creaked as it was bombarded by the storm and waves. Even the waters within the archipelago were so violent, Da Fei could already imagine how terrifying the waves would be when he was out at sea. Perhaps he would sink his ship as soon as it went out to sea. However, no matter how great the price was, he had to escape. Da Fei¡¯s Grandmaster-level Hidden Movement together with the suitability of the terrain and situation and the flickering oil lamp sentry posts in the wooden huts of the pier were virtually useless. Da Fei successfully got onto his own ship. He would check the status of the ship first. Ship¡¯s name: SV Fly (Quest reward, untradeable) Captain: Da Fei Ship Special Skill: God¡¯s Blessing (Sailors¡¯ Luck +2) Ship Model: Large four-masted three-decked high-speed sailing ship. Ship Freight Volume: 1,000 Units Time in use: 10 years Minimum number of sailors needed: 30 Ship Durability: 1690/1690 Ship Speed: 10 Ship Armor Defense: Port 32, Starboard 80. Sea God Insurance Level: 0 (Ship is not protected by the Sea God. If an accident occurs, it will remain sunken forever.) Ship¡¯s current conditions: Additional armor on the port of the ship detached. Cursed by bad luck (Sailor¡¯s Luck -3). It turned out that the pirates had repaired the ship over the past few days. En, it was necessary. It was just a pity the upper limit of the ship¡¯s Durability would no longer be as high as before. There was nothing he could do about it except cut the ropes that were tied to the ship and leave. ¡°You came, after all!¡± He heard a familiar and charming voice from behind him. Da Fei was shocked and looked back quickly. It was Katerina! Her head was wrapped in a cloth towel. She had gloves on her hands and wore a pair of swords. It was a sailor¡¯s outfit! At this instant, one word popped into Da Fei¡¯s head: Elope! Katerina smiled and said, ¡°Am I not welcome? Did you think you would be able to take the ship out by yourself?¡± What the heck, what the heck, ahh! Legendary Hero, Legendary Hero, Legendary Hero!! Beauty and the Hero, Beauty and the Hero, Beauty and the Hero!!! She¡¯s eloping with me, eloping with me!!! I¡¯m too amazing!!! Wahahaha! Da Fei¡¯s excitement boiled over. The thousands of words he wanted to say were articulated into just one. ¡°Welcome! Welcome!¡± Katerina laughed. ¡°I¡¯ll take the helm. You cut the ropes that are tied around the boat. Start from the bow and once you are done, raise the sails on the mainmast immediately. Just raise them to half-mast. Pay attention to the wind direction, don¡¯t let it blow us ashore.¡± Da Fei hurriedly nodded. ¡°Okay, okay, okay!¡± On this stormy night, when he was alone and helpless, she was an angel sent by God. No, she was a Goddess! He loved her! He had to cut all the ropes. The force of the huge waves broke the ropes at the stern. SV Fly rushed out of the harbor like a wild horse that had broken its restraints toward the turbulent sea. ¡ªSystem Message: You fought against the storm and gained 1,500 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: You fought against the storm and gained 1,500 EXP! ¡ªSystem Message: Warning! Leak observed at the bottom cabin. Please drain it urgently. ¡ªSystem Message: Warning! The port side plate of the bottom deck of the ship is broken, please repair it immediately. The sailing ship bobbed up and down in the violent winds. Katerina skillfully steered the ship and avoided the huge waves. With a Legendary Hero at the helm, Da Fei, who knew next to nothing about steering a ship, was relieved. This sense of security, excitement, and all the frantic repair works filled Da Fei¡¯s heart with fiery excitement. He had too many questions. He never imagined that an NPC in the game would excite and evoke so many emotions in him. This was love! The wind howled. That was the cry of his love. The waves raged. That was the palpitations of his love. The sailing ship rocked. That was the cradle of their love! Haha! Wahahaha¡­ After the storm passed, the sea and sky were joined by vast waves. After a night of struggles, Da Fei and Katerina sat side by side on the bow to watch the sunrise and admire the rainbow. The morning sun shone on Katerina¡¯s tired and wet face, the brilliance of the golden rays reflected off her, almost blinding Da Fei. This was a goddess sent right to him! Da Fei looked wistfully toward the East and said, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to help me at the last minute. Leave with me, we will do trade runs together, make money together, and renovate our ship into a royal luxury cruise ship. I will let you live like a queen.¡± Katerina chuckled and pulled out a shiny piece of paper from between her bosom. ¡°Although you¡¯ve said before, I enjoy listening to it. I¡¯ll give this back to you now!¡± ¡ªAh, phew! Lost and recovered, Da Fei was so surprised he was speechless! The System would not easily spoil a player¡¯s equipment! It even gave him a beautiful woman as compensation! Sister, you have been keeping such an important thing there! What if it drops? How confident are you about its storage function? However, self-confidence is good. I like it, wahahahaha! Katerina laughed again. ¡°The reason I helped you is that you refused to become a pirate no matter what. You were even willing to give up something so important. Do you understand now?¡± Da Fei was startled. ¡°Haven¡¯t you been persuading me to join the pirates? Were you testing me?¡± She knew what this piece of paper was? Katerina laughed. ¡°You¡¯re right, I¡¯m not content to be just a pirate. I¡¯ve been yearning for the world beyond the island and the noble lives of the ladies since I was young. I have always fantasized about a real hero taking me away. And you, you are the hero who has passed my test. The hero I selected! If you had joined the pirates, I would just become good friends with you. But you refused to join the pirates no matter what, so I will leave with you!¡± As soon as she finished speaking, rows of system messages appeared on the screen! ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! The Epic Hero Katerina is now your sub-hero! ¡ªNovice Guide: Congratulations! You got your first sub-hero. Once the sub hero is defeated, it will appear in your sub-hero slot. It will need to be resurrected in the Hero Altar in a big city. A fee will be required to resurrect your hero. The higher the hero¡¯s level, the higher the cost. At the same time, if you have first-aid talents, you may revive the sub-hero. The sub-hero resurrected by first-aid will be in a weak state for a long time. ¡ªNovice Guide: The ship is equivalent to mobile territory and the navigation mode is equivalent to territorial management mode. The Captain may assign duties to the sub-hero, and the sub-hero will exhibit his talents when performing different duties. It is recommended that you appoint your sub-hero as Chief Officer. ¡ªChief Officer: Deputy Captain, has all the abilities of the Captain and can man the ship when the Captain is not around. Da Fei had only suddenly realized this! In fact, her literary manner had already hinted at it! So that was it! Fortunately, he was determined. Otherwise, it would be counterproductive! He was no doubt awesome! What was done was done and he would graciously accept it. He had thought she was a Legendary Hero at first, but it was almost impossible for a Legendary Hero to join a player. It was a good thing she was just an Epic Hero, wahahaha! ¡­ Barren Island Port, Captain Rock, the leader of the Barren Pirates, stood on the outpost all night until dawn. His expression was tired and lonely. Barak yawned as he walked over. ¡°Boss, Katerina seems to have left with the kid.¡± Rock re-lit the cigarette that was extinguished by the rainstorm and blew out a thick smoke ring. ¡°The boy became a Voyager at a young age. His future will be bright. Katerina might have a better future with him.¡± Barak sighed. ¡°Katerina may never come back.¡± Rock laughed and thrust his pelvis forward. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, I¡¯ll make a bunch of girls. Wahahaha!¡± Chapter 52 At this moment, Da Fei¡¯s sub-hero column shone brightly. Da Fei could not wait to check out her attributes. It was like a husband who could not wait to check out his new wife on their wedding night. Katerina: Pirate leader Rock once seized a noblewoman by force to become his wife and she subsequently gave birth to Katerina. Katerina grew up with her mother¡¯s influence like a noble lady, but her father Rock wanted to train her as his successor. Among the loot that the pirates return with, she was always able to locate the most valuable treasure. Personality: Passionate and unrestrained. Love for extravagance. Loyalty: 100 (When loyalty drops below 10, sub-hero will leave) Level: 30. Hero Occupation: Master Pirate (Improves the unit¡¯s Damage on the sea by 50% and increases the ship¡¯s Speed on the sea by 25%. The effect stacks with Basic Attack Skill and Nautical Skill) Special Ability: Noble Temperament (Noble temperament can make one look noble and refined. Easily recognized by the upper class and respected by the people at the bottom) Occupation Special Ability: Master Appraiser (The advanced form of ¡°treasure intuition¡±, an Occupation special ability of Pirates. Pirates have unusual intuitions for discovering treasures, and Katerina is outstanding in this aspect) Command Power: 36 Attack: 60 (50 Strategy Attack, Weapon +10 Personal Attack) Defense: 30 (0 Strategy Defense, Armor +30 Personal Defense) Mana: 0 Knowledge: 0 Health Points: 7 Attack Speed: 22 (Weapon +2 Attack Speed) Movement Speed: 14 Melee Damage: 17-22 Ranged Damage: 4-8 Personal Special Skill: Dual-armed Weapon, Musket Marksmanship, Agile Dodge, Marauder, Intimidating Threat (Triggering of dynamic skills will consume extra energy) Hero Skills: Master-level Nautical Skill, Master-level Attack Skill, Intermediate Command Skill Current Equipment: Crimson Double Blade, Dwarf Short-handled Musket, Pirate Full-Leather Armor ¡ªCrimson Double Blade: Personal Attack +10, Damage +4, Attack Speed +2 ¡ªDwarf Short-handled Musket: Personal Attack +10, Damage 4-8 ¡ªPirate Full-Leather Armor: Personal Defense +30 Treasure Owned: Precise Craftsman¡¯s Binoculars ¡­ After reading her background introduction and her attributes, Da Fei was amazed. At the same time, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. She was obviously a pirate? Why was her Special Ability Noble Temperament? Why was her Occupation Special Ability Master Appraiser? Wasn¡¯t she too literary? Of course, in the face of true love, special abilities did not matter, levels did not matter, attributes did not matter, skills did not matter, personality did not matter, even gender was not important. However, life was as such. Long-term and reasonable planning was still necessary. From a strategic point of view, she had taken the Pirate occupation to the extreme. Level 10 beginner stage added 10 points of Attack. After Level 10, if the occupation was changed to Pirate, the System automatically allocated 1 point of Attack for every level up. The Assignable Attribute Point would continue to add to Attack. At Level 30, Strategic Attack would be 50. What was the concept of 50 Attack? Da Fei had worked under Renoir previously. He was well aware of its power. What was more terrifying was that the Master Pirate¡¯s occupation attributes could stack on an additional 50% Damage on top of the Master Attack Skill, doubling the Damage! Her level of Damage at sea was properly the level of an Angel. And her Special Skill was Dual-armed Weapon. What was a Dual-armed Weapon? That was, to be able to hold two knives at once. That meant her Attack Speed was twice as fast as ordinary people. Hence, this 22 Attack Speed was horrifying. Of course, the shortcomings brought by the pursuit of high Damage and high Attack Speed were obvious as well. Low HP and low Defense! It would be an absolute disaster for a Pirate to encounter a Mage. Of course, Da Fei felt good about encountering an Epic Hero just after playing for three days. When other players¡¯ Mage was formed, his Mage would have long dumped them dozens of streets away. But having said that, low Defense was a big problem. Da Fei was the main hero and he had to plan how to use his points. Now, the problem was her Special Ability. The Noble Temperament was neither a non-combat ability nor a business ability Da Fei required. However, Pirates were not scary. What was scary was cultured Pirates. The existence of each Epic Hero had its own rationality and it depended on whether the player knew how to make use of it. Da Fei asked shamelessly, ¡°My dear¡ª¡± Katerina responded coquettishly, ¡°You¡¯re so annoying~¡± ¡°You¡¯re so annoying~!¡± Da Fei almost melted into a puddle! Was he really in a game? Why had no one ever made him feel this way in real life? This was true love, indeed. Wahahaha! Da Fei asked, ¡°Baby! How do you use this special ability Noble Temperament?¡± Katerina flicked her long hair and chuckled. ¡°Clothes maketh the man. One has to be well-dressed.¡± Da Fei said hurriedly, ¡°Clothes? I have five of six sets of them!¡± Then, he took out the Sailor¡¯s Ceremonial Uniform. This was high-end! Katerina¡¯s eyes lit up, then smiled bitterly. ¡°This is for men!¡± Da Fei: ¡°Er¡­¡± Katerina took over the clothes and chuckled. ¡°But, clothes do not affect a woman¡¯s charm!¡± She changed into them immediately. At this instant, Da Fei¡¯s eyeballs almost fell out! That was not all! Katerina took off her black leather skirt. A fiery red rose tattoo bloomed! The beta players did not lie. Beautiful Heroes that drove male players crazy really existed! Da Fei finally understood why there were so few female Heroes. It was because the recruitment of female Heroes was definitely higher than male Heroes. The purpose of the game provider was obvious! Even though male players knew this was a pit, countless jumped in willingly! This illness should be treated! He had seen through the game merchant¡¯s cunning plot. As a professional, did they think he would jump into the pit? Humph. If he didn¡¯t go to hell, who would? As he stared at her, infatuated, Katerina had set up her hair and changed her clothes. A handsome young naval officer appeared before him. Katerina imitated an officer¡¯s salute. ¡°How is it?¡± What a different feel! Da Fei applauded and praised her. ¡°Good! Very stylish!¡± Katerina smiled brighter. ¡°Can you see my Noble Temperament?¡± Was there? Where? Da Fei looked at her from head to toe and suddenly realized the Hero aura beneath her feet became a pale golden color! The Pirate¡¯s blood-red aura had become a Knight or Priest Hero¡¯s golden aura! A change of clothes actually changed her Hero faction! This was cheating! Sub-heroes had different camps and races. When they follow players out to war, it might not have a big impact. But it would be troublesome during peacetime. For example, after the human race player hired sub-heroes from the Undead race, heroes of the Undead race could not enter the city. They could only be deposited with the troops in the barracks outside the city. (Note: The player¡¯s army cannot enter the city) Of course, the role of the sub-hero was not only to accompany the player to war, but also to lead the army independently, or complete missions independently on behalf of the players, or manage the castle as a deputy Lord. Especially for players with castles, when the player was not online, the role of the sub-hero was important. The ability of the sub-hero would determine if a player could sleep peacefully. The ship was equivalent to a mobile territory, which meant it was a mobile castle. After Da Fei appointed Katerina as the Chief Officer, Katerina could act as the merchant when Da Fei was not on the ship, or even when he was offline. However, if Katerina was a Pirate Hero, it would be unclear. The Kingdom¡¯s Navy might give Da Fei face and let her go. They might also launch an attack once they saw her, and might not even allow her to go near the port. In other words, anything could happen. Hence, if players did not wish for such things to happen, they should hire a Hero of the same faction. Unless they encountered an enemy of their Hero¡¯s faction, it would be beneficial. What situation was it now? Double identity! Da Fei could make use of both of Katerina¡¯s occupations! The safety of her running the business independently increased greatly. There were possibly more benefits. As a pirate, she could go to the Pirates¡¯ territory to trade with loots, which meant he could open the pirate market! Da Fei now understood the value of her special ability¡ªhe was steadily advancing on the route to the upper-class. Those combat-related abilities paled in comparison! However, he still needed the lower-class route as a base. He had to recruit Heroes who could fight to strengthen his army, to make up for the low HP and Defense of the Pirate. At the same time, in order to build a team for Stealth Sailing, he had to hire a magic-type Hero. Priority was given to beautiful ladies. Speaking of beautiful magic-type Heroes, Da Fei suddenly remembered the 15-year-old daughter mentioned in the seafarer¡¯s journal. She had been living in a church? Could she be well-versed in Light Magic? Could she be a Hero? Da Fei began to anticipate. Chapter 53 After analyzing Katerina¡¯s special ability, he looked at her occupation special ability next, Master Appraiser. It was a legendary skill that unlocked Renoir¡¯s Skill Book and changed Da Fei¡¯s fate. She liked fiddling with binoculars and Skill Books. Those must be the habits that came with this special ability. The occupation special ability of Pirates was usually ¡°Treasure Intuition¡±. (The five sub-skills of the Pirate occupation, which are also the five occupation special abilities: Sailing Mastery, Naval Combat Mastery, Pirate Training, Ship Tracking, Treasure Intuition) Her Master Appraiser, which was based upon her special ability, was also an occupation special ability mastery. Take, for example, the Japanese Hell Gate Master Hero who had a market value of 6 million. An ordinary Demon Hero¡¯s occupation special ability was Hell Gate. Hell Gate Master was the highest level of Hell Gate. Mastery increased the market value by a substantial amount. A Hero who had an occupation special ability mastery was definitely a good Hero. Although Hell Gate Master was an occupation special ability mastery, it was, in actual fact, classified as an inborn special ability. That meant a player would have it once they created their beginner character before they changed occupations. Similarly, the ¡°Knight Icon¡± Hero worth 3 million US dollars was a more advanced form of the Knight or Priest¡¯s occupation special ability, ¡°Blessing Ceremony¡±. It was also an occupation special ability mastery which was classified as an inborn special ability. This meant the Hero was born with skills for this occupation. What did this mean? It was proof that under normal circumstances, Katerina¡¯s Master Appraiser should also be an inborn special ability. However, this special ability was now part of her occupation special ability. Wasn¡¯t this the effect of his Voyager Godly Scroll? It turned an inborn special ability into an occupational special ability, which freed up a new inborn special ability slot. That meant, Katerina was actually a double special ability Hero! Da Fei was even more excited when he analyzed this! He looked at Katerina in an even more fanatical light! It was a shame that a double special ability Hero was just an Epic Hero. But she was still young. Wahahaha! However, as soon as he paid attention to her Appraiser special ability, Da Fei suddenly realized that the binoculars in her bag were named ¡°Precise Craftsman¡¯s Binoculars¡±. Ah? Da Fei took a look at the equipment and was stunned. ¡ªPrecise Craftsman¡¯s Binoculars: Increase Hero¡¯s vision by +50%. A masterpiece by a Master Craftsman. Selling price increased by 300%. What the heck, wasn¡¯t this the gift he gave her? A Master Appraiser could not only find hidden treasures, but he could also appraise items differently from others? Da Fei could not help but ask, ¡°Darling, why are your binoculars different?¡± Katerina replied in surprise, ¡°Of course it¡¯s different. Have there ever been two leaves which are identical in this world?¡± So that was it! In the eyes of ordinary players, there was no difference in the leaves. But in a Master Appraiser¡¯s eyes, it was different. A Master Appraiser was really more cultured. Katerina laughed again. ¡°Think about it, Captain. There are so many valuable famous paintings and famous statues, and there are so many imitations and forgeries of them. Won¡¯t you get cheated if you cannot differentiate between real and fake? You could pass a fake off for the real thing. You could also disguise an original as a very ordinary item in order to prevent it from being stolen. This is what businessmen often do. This kind of disguise is also the hardest to see through.¡± Da Fei frowned. ¡°Disguise the real thing? Disguise it as an ordinary item? Ordinary like how?¡± Katerina said with a smile, ¡°There is a myriad of ways. There are legends that some treasures can be disguised as having no attributes at all, which makes them completely like ordinary daily items. I heard that the Silver Federation alchemists are masters at it. That¡¯s why Uncle Barak simply decided to move everything out from his ship and ended up making his shop look like a supermarket. It¡¯s a very interesting place, and it¡¯s also my favorite place to play when I was a kid.¡± (Note: Silver Federation, neutral force, also known as the Wizard College City. Players are not allowed to choose them) Da Fei nodded involuntarily. It seemed that the study of treasure in the game was very detailed and complicated. The Pirates actually had to have quite a bit of culture and knowledge. The thought that treasures could be disguised as ordinary things without any special attributes at all reminded Da Fei of the very simple and unadorned flute he found in the seafarer¡¯s old bag. Might it be more than it seemed? Da Fei quickly took the flute out of the bag. ¡°Darling, this was left behind by someone. Take a look and see if there¡¯s anything special about it.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Katerina took a look at the flute and her eyes glowed again! Something was up! Sure enough, Katerina focused all her attention on examining the flute, her expression excited and nervous. Haha! There is definitely something out of the ordinary! Well done! Well done, Hero! My sweetheart, wahahaha! His title was now Voyager, Grand Master, and he had a Master Appraisal sub-hero with two identities. He was a money-printing machine! If the value of items in the game was really as scarily high as hyped, there would be no problem for him to make a lot of money in the next year or two. He could make at least millions of dollars. He had decided he would not talk about selling his account again! So what if everyone on the server was after him? That spoiled kid really thought that he could be everyone¡¯s boss because he had more money? He was a delusional megalomaniac. He ought to be treated! They had better not cross paths, or Da Fei, the Grand Master would beat him till he had to beg in the streets. Finally, Katerina let out a long-drawn breath. ¡°Captain, this must be a treasure. It should be a hunter tool for summoning falcons. Most of them are produced by the Elves. That¡¯s all I know.¡± Da Fei was overjoyed. ¡°It¡¯s okay! It¡¯s okay as long as you know it¡¯s a treasure. Darling has worked hard!¡± Even the Appraiser Hero who identified the Skill Book could not identify this treasure. It must be at least Grade A and above, right? There were many NPC Appraisers. He would pay them to do it when the time came. Katerina smiled delicately. ¡°Captain, where shall we go now?¡± Da Fei was startled. ¡°Where are we now?¡± Katerina smiled and said, ¡°Jade Sea. We¡¯re not far from the Elven Kingdom, Faroland.¡± Da Fei laughed and said, ¡°Okay! Let¡¯s go to the Elven Kingdom and find someone to identify this treasure at the same time!¡± Katerina laughed. ¡°I heard that goods of the Elven Kingdom are worth a lot of money when shipped to the Human Kingdom.¡± Da Fei nodded hurriedly. ¡°Yes, yes. Our first trade run will start from the Elven Kingdom. Wahahaha!¡± Katerina said with a coy smile, ¡°You¡¯re indeed the Captain. In that case, I will take the helm. Captain, you will have to handle the sails then?¡± Da Fei smiled and said, ¡°No problem, I should be doing it. The menial task of handling the sail should be done by a man.¡± But Darling, we have been in the rain the entire night. You should take off your wet clothes and sunbath first, right? SV Fly started sailing towards their destination. When he finally had time, Da Fei took out the hard-won golden paper, put it under his nose, and took a deep breath. It seemed as though he smelled the sweat from between his darling¡¯s bosom. Ah~~ ¡ªSystem Message: Your inborn special ability ¡°Storm Voyager¡± is a rare Nautical Special Ability. It fulfills the conditions needed to use the Voyager¡¯s Wisdom Scroll. Do you want to convert the inborn special ability to Voyager occupation special ability? ¡ªYes! The paper flashed golden, disintegrated into gold scraps, and disappeared. ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You used one Skill Point and obtained Voyager occupation special ability ¡°Storm Voyager¡±. ¡ªStorm Voyager: The safety of the hero¡¯s fleet increases when sailing in a severe storm. Its effect increases with the increase of the Voyager Skills level. (Note: The prerequisite is that the hero needs to have a large Galleon with good wave-resistance. The hero needs to meet a certain level of reputation in order to be eligible to purchase the large Galleon at the shipyard.) Finally, it was no longer a random special ability. Compared to before, it finally had an effect that increased with the occupation level! Finally belonging in an empire was quite different. Haha! Wahahaha! ¡ªSystem Message: You have converted your inborn special ability into an occupation special ability. Now, you have the opportunity to choose a new inborn special ability. You can choose a skill from any skill you already possess to become your new special ability. That was it! He now had two special abilities! Wahahaha! What should he choose as his special ability? His current advanced skill was ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±, should he choose that? No, no, he was already a Grand Master, would Godly-level be far? He would decide after he had learned some Godly Skills later. He would be the ultimate Grand Master, wahahaha! Chapter 54 A tycoon would be one who drove a luxury yacht. The yacht would be full of bikini-clad beauties, and he would spray champagne on them. Then, aiya, aiya, hahaha¡ªwhat vulgar thoughts! In Da Fei¡¯s mind, a tycoon would be doing exactly what he was doing¡ªembracing a sexy and hot sweetheart with skin smooth like satin. They would sit on the deck, drink rum while fishing and barbecuing. While they enjoyed the sea breeze, they would watch the stars, listen to the waves, and sing poems of love! They would talk about the future of their love! Between the sky and the sea, it would be their literary world! ¡ª¡±Let us move the oars and cut the waves with the little boat.¡± This was a Pirate who had no future. ¡ª¡±Trying to attain the power of thunder and lightning¡­ Even the smallest sails can make a long voyage!¡± This was a death wish! ¡ª¡±Every night in my dreams¡­¡± This was just like Titanic! Wahahaha! After last night¡¯s storm, the upper limit of the ship¡¯s durability had dropped to less than 1,000. There were cracks everywhere, and it would not be long before Titanic¡¯s fate befell it. Although the ship could be easily destroyed by storms, repairing it would restore durability. However, the fact that the upper limit of its durability dropped so easily meant that the ship was too old. The System was not so generous, after all. Thinking about the future, Da Fei held his darling in his arms and sighed. ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, this ship can still last for a while. We will make a lot of money and buy a newer and bigger ship. Then, we will renovate the new ship into a luxurious palace and then mount a dozen Ballistas to arm the ship like a fortress. We can wander around the New World happily, like kings of the sea.¡± Katerina sighed. ¡°About this ship, it¡¯s really a pity. Even though it has not been maintained for many years, it¡¯s still the most superior ship I¡¯ve ever seen. Like what they say in the Kingdom, it should be considered a special ship. An ordinary shipyard cannot make something like this.¡± Da Fei was stunned. ¡°Special ship?¡± Katerina nodded. ¡°Yes. The wood used to make this ship is very rare and unusual. The size and shape of the ship are closely connected to the quality of the material used in its making. The material used to make this ship is strong and durable. It has to be very strong to support the large hull in the huge waves and strong winds. And it has to be durable so it can support such a long and streamlined hull capable of high speeds. There are only two of us now, so we cannot bring out its full potential. Also, the ship is too old to unleash its full potential. If it was fully equipped and manned by the best sailors, you can imagine how fast it once was!¡± It turned out that shipbuilding was a science in the game. Da Fei sighed. ¡°After all, it was a ship that was once part of a major historical mission. It must be much better than the average ship¡ª¡± Then, he excitedly said, ¡°But it doesn¡¯t matter. We will work hard to make money. As long as we have more money, we can always find a way to get a new ship that is just as good.¡± Katerina smiled charmingly. ¡°The materials needed to build a ship like this are not easy to obtain. But I believe the Captain will have a way.¡± Da Fei chuckled while caressing her smooth shoulders. ¡°Of course. Nothing is impossible for me!¡± Although Da Fei said that, he was full of grievances. The character of the Hero was very important! His darling was enthusiastic and sexy. It was a player¡¯s good fortune to be able to persuade her to strip down to just innerwear. She even allowed the player to hug her as they wished! But she was a materialistic girl! He was a professional player who sold in-game gold to make money to buy cars and houses, not to buy special ships like this that were irrelevant and unreliable! But who was he? A pro! The Grand Master! A Godly Hero with double special abilities and double occupations! She was willing to stay with him even though he was penniless and only had a broken-down ship. What she was really interested in was his future! Was there such a good materialistic girl in reality? A successful man would be able to conquer a materialistic girl! If he could not do in the game what could not be done in real life, wouldn¡¯t he be really useless? Anyway, the bright future was calling to him and the beautiful angel had opened her mind to him! Bosom! Looking at his darling¡¯s voluptuous curves covered by innerwear in his embrace, Da Fei hated it! What was innerwear? The realm of gods in the game! An absolute fortress that could not be breached no matter how thin it was! A ray of morning sun illuminated the clouds and a new day began. The sails fluttered in the fresh sea breeze and flocks of seagulls encircled SV Fly squawking. The presence of seabirds meant that they were close to land. Katerina pulled out the nautical chart. ¡°Captain, we have reached the seas outside the Elf Kingdom, Faroland. The nearest big port is Erolyn. The first thing the Captain has to do once we berth is to go to the Union Chamber of Commerce to get a Seafaring Trade Permit. The exchange will only trade with us if we have this permit. In the beginning, the Trade Permit is only at Level 1 and the exchange will only sell at most 10 units of low-grade goods to us every day. Only by doing more business and gaining good credit can we increase the level of the Trade Permit. Then, we will be able to buy more high-end goods. However, in this case, we will not be able to use our ship¡¯s transportation capacity to its full potential. Therefore, we should accept transportation quests from the Chamber of Commerce. The more quests we complete, the more credit we can get, and the faster we can increase the level of our Trade Permit. Of course, to do such tasks, we need to pay a deposit equal to the value of the goods first. What we need to do now is try to make money to pay the deposit.¡± Da Fei laughed. ¡°Baby, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so knowledgeable.¡± Katerina smiled. ¡°As a Pirate, I need to understand the habits of businessmen. Inquire about the market price of the goods, then ambush them at the place where they are most likely to appear.¡± Da Fei laughed loudly. ¡°Pirates must have technical skills, indeed!¡± In fact, although what Katrina said made sense, players had their own way of playing. The exchange restricted players to only one transaction per day, right? They just had to purchase the goods for a higher price from other players, then. Ordinary Level 1 players with a commercial license could only buy 10 units of goods per day. He had over 1,000 units worth of goods in his ship. He would just set up a stall outside the Exchange area and collect purchase orders for 100 players at a high price. As for how high the price would be? Just a little higher than their purchase price. During the open beta, many players were too lazy to go out to sea. They simply squatted in the city to do business. In the game, business was a very important selling point. It determined whether a Lord could succeed. Therefore, there were the ¡°Accounting Skill¡± and the ¡°Bargaining Skill¡± among the Lord¡¯s Skills. ¡ªAccounting Skill: Territory¡¯s monthly income increases by up to 3%, and each level of Skill increases by 3%. The following sub-skills were ¡°Farm Development¡±, ¡°Mine Development¡±, ¡°Orchard Development¡±, ¡°Fishery Development¡±, ¡°Market Development¡±, etc. The effect of sub-skills was, of course, to further increase the income and output of the facility. ¡ªBargaining Skill: Bargaining can reduce the purchase price of goods by up to 5%, and can sell goods at a price of up to 5%. Each level of effect increases by 5%. The following sub-skills include ¡°Food Trading¡±, ¡°Textile Trading¡±, ¡°Hobby Trading¡±, ¡°Precious Metal Trading¡±, ¡°Luxury Trading¡±, etc. The effect was, of course, to buy these goods from the exchange at lower prices. The Grandmaster-level Bargaining Skill also had a godly sub-skill ¡°Bribe¡± that changed the business world during the open beta! ¡ªBribe: You can offer a sum of money to the trader of the exchange to make him sell more goods to you. Lords also had a Recruitment Skill to increase the production of armies and an Urban Construction Skill that increased Durability and speed of construction. In short, it was painful to master Lord¡¯s Skills. Basically, after learning these skills, there were not many Skill Points left for battling purposes. Of course, as a Lord, the abundance of armies and sub-heroes was the way to go. If he had to do things personally, it would be too low-class. For Da Fei, in the face of the huge profits brought by the huge shipping volume, skills such as Bargaining Skill were just fleeting. Da Fei could already see the land, as well as little white sails in the distance. Of course, white sails were players navigating small boats doing trades. Currently, players could only afford to buy small boats that could carry up to 10 units to travel between ports. Aye, I wonder how they will feel when they see my ship capable of transporting 1,000 units of goods. Land, I¡¯m finally back! My sea merchant business shall begin here! Wahahahaha! At this moment, in the distant sea, a fleet of 20 small sailing ships sailed briskly. A ship the size of SV Fly definitely attracted their attention. ¡°Cannon Bro, see, see. That ship seems to belong to a player!¡± A Dwarf race player named Earthshaking Cannon immediately took out his telescope to see. He could only see the following big words in red: ¡°SV Fly (Da Fei)¡±. Earthshaking Cannon was shocked. ¡°The wanted trash player server-wide, Da Fei!¡± For a moment, all the players in the ship exploded! But, they soon came to their senses. ¡°This Da Fei is alone! And he¡¯s a Red Name. Once we kill him, his equipment and ship certificate will all be exposed!¡± Earthshaking Cannon made a prompt decision. ¡°Quick, contact Blood Sea Studio. Everyone, record this down as proof. Get ready to attack!¡± Everyone roared in agreement! Chapter 55 In the Elf Kingdom¡¯s Port Erolyn, Earthshaking Cannon was a pretty famous player. As a Dwarf, he traveled over a thousand miles from the Dwarf Kingdom to the Elf Kingdom just to become a merchant here. The Elf Kingdom¡¯s handicrafts were the bestselling items amongst all the Light Factions. A statue selling for 100 gold coins here could be sold for 800 or even 1,000 gold coins if he transported it to the Human Kingdom via sea. However, handicraft articles were considered high-end products in the Elf Kingdom. Only high-ranking merchants could purchase them. Furthermore, the Elf Kingdom was far away from the Human Kingdom. They had to use large ships for the trips to be viable and profitable. In fact, cross-kingdom trade definitely required large ships. Who would sail a small ship and embrace the high risk of capsizing at sea for over a dozen days just to be a merchant? Hence, Earthshaking Cannon gathered a few friends to become merchants at this port to earn Reputation points and level up together. Then, they planned on pooling their resources together to buy a large ship. Once they gathered enough money, Earthshaking Cannon¡¯s advantage as a Dwarf would be useful. He could forge weapons! The Dwarves¡¯ weapons were ranked first amongst all the Light Factions, perhaps even first in the world. Hence, Earthshaking Cannon and his friends had a good plan for their future. Today, they found a pleasant surprise! Red Names had no human rights. They could kill the Red Name and remove the danger to civilians, and also collect the high bounty placed on him. Why not? Of course, robbing him of his gear and equipment should be kept quiet. Blood Sea Studio. Raging Sea of Blood had been very busy over the past few days. For the establishment of his studio, he had to choose an office venue, hire staff, find trustworthy acquaintances to manage the studio, set office rules, confirm salary and benefits, form an alliance with Dragon Slayer Guild, etc. Fortunately, Raging Sea of Blood had a large group of brothers who helped him out. Hence, things progressed smoothly. Since Raging Sea of Blood was a famous naval battle hero in the China server, his Studio planned on developing in the oceans. Large ports like Erolyn, which was famous for its handicraft items, had displayed their value during the open beta. Raging Sea of Blood planned on deploying some of his staff in the studio to Port Erolyn for development. They would focus on trade first before strengthening their army. Now, Raging Sea of Blood received a tip from other players. His nemesis appeared in the coastal waters near Erolyn! Raging Sea of Blood was invigorated. His eyes were wide open and filled with rage. ¡°Tell them to kill him! The wanted order is out, and we will fulfill our promise! Money isn¡¯t an issue! I¡¯ll personally go online to contact that player later!¡± Of course, money was no issue. This was an opportunity for Blood Sea Studio to establish its reputation and professionalism! On the first day of the studio¡¯s opening, they had a chance to commemorate it by killing their nemesis! As long as he respawned on land, he could not escape the people! Everyone would hunt him down until he dropped to Level 0! Just then, in the coastal waters near Erolyn, Earthshaking Cannon yelled loudly. ¡°Brothers, big boss has spoken. Kill! We will be rewarded 100,000 dollars if we kill him. Every single one of you will receive 5,000 dollars!¡± Everyone cheered. ¡°Let¡¯s go!¡± The twenty small sailing ships immediately changed their course and headed straight for SV Fly like a pack of wolves. The small ships¡¯ strange movement alerted Da Fei. ¡°What the heck! You¡¯re not being a proper merchant. You want to fight instead!¡± As an experienced expert, Da Fei was well aware that these players did not come to welcome him warmly. In coastal waters and with good weather conditions, large ships could not outrun smaller ones. Furthermore, Da Fei only had two people on board. There was no way he could get away. Of course, Da Fei did not plan on running. ¡°I will make an example out of these people. This way, nobody will plan to make a move on me just because they see that I¡¯m a Red Name!¡± Da Fei was confident because of his Master-level Ballista. He could sink an entire ship easily just with one shot. Half of their fleet would be wiped out before they could even reach him. Then, his sweetheart, Katerina. Although Katerina was not a Combat Hero, she had Angel-like combat effectiveness. It would be a cakewalk for her to destroy these Level 10 to 20 players with 50 or 60 HP, right? None of them could even board this ship. Katerina asked in surprise. ¡°Captain, are we going into battle?¡± Da Fei nodded and said gloomily, ¡°That¡¯s right! They¡¯re asking for death, so it¡¯s not my fault.¡± Katerina stopped smiling. ¡°This is the first time that merchants have actively started a fight with me. They should be thankful that I didn¡¯t plan on robbing them.¡± Rob? Da Fei¡¯s heart jumped. That makes sense! I¡¯ll lose Reputation points if I kill them. It¡¯s not worth it unless I rob them of something. After all, it costs money to boost my Reputation points later. Da Fei was pleasantly surprised. ¡°Can we rob them?¡± Katerina smiled and said, ¡°With their levels? We can rob them down to their underwear!¡± Hey, hey, hey, babe, you can only steal my pants, not anyone else¡¯s. However, if we do get into a fight, we have to face around twenty players and maybe one or two NPC sailors. That¡¯s a big crowd. If any of them know some magic, Katerina¡¯s 73 HP may not be safe enough. Da Fei suddenly remembered the heart of the Demonized Venom Sea Anemone King in his storage. He originally wanted to sell it. However, he had a better use for it now. He could not let his baby suffer. With her terrifying Attack Speed, the paralytic toxin effect would be well utilized. The two sides met. Da Fei was worried about sinking their ships in a crash, so he purposely lowered his speed. When they got closer, Earthshaking Cannon and his crew¡¯s ships surrounded SV Fly. Then, Earthshaking Cannon was stunned. Da Fei also realized that he was worried about nothing. SV Fly¡¯s gunwale was so much higher than the other ships. How could they board? Did they think that they were pirates or acrobatics in circuses who could jump around by scaling the masts? Even if you knew how to climb, your ships are so tiny. Your topmasts can¡¯t even reach my gunwale. To be frank, it¡¯s so difficult for small ships to attack a large ship. As expected, all the players yelled in surprise. ¡°Cannon bro, we can¡¯t climb up? What should we do?¡± Earthshaking Cannon gritted his teeth. ¡°Then, we smash this ship! Let¡¯s sink it!¡± Since he could no longer count on robbing the ship of its supplies, he planned on collecting the bounty instead. Da Fei was shocked! What the heck! Why did you think that you could surround me? I could sink all of you just by steering my ship right now! Da Fei hurriedly threw down two cables. ¡°Oi! Come up if you dare to!¡± They might not dare to make the climb if he only threw one cable down. Hence, he gave them two to inspire confidence. Earthshaking Cannon was overjoyed. ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t dare to?!¡± Then, he yelled, ¡°Brothers, let¡¯s go! The big boss promised to give us the bounty even if we die!¡± The players immediately climbed onto the deck. They let out collective sighs of relief when they were not attacked, as anticipated. This was a big ship! They started cheering as they stood on the rigid deck as if the ship was already theirs. However, they did not see Da Fei. ¡°Where is he?¡± ¡°Idiots, come in if you dare to!¡± They heard Da Fei¡¯s voice coming from the cabin corridor. ¡°What¡¯s he doing?¡± Everyone wondered. Earthshaking Cannon waved his hands. ¡°Let¡¯s go! We have more people! We¡¯ll just exhaust him!¡± All the players immediately rushed into the cabin. When they entered, Katerina jumped down from above with her dual blades. She wiped out everyone from inside the room all the way to the corridor. Within an instant, flashes of white light and painful screams filled the room. Katerina¡¯s 60 Attack, 20 Damage, and 22 Attack Speed were insanely high. Her Pirate Attributes and Attack Skill raised her Damage by another 100%. Furthermore, she ambushed them from behind. These Level 20 players with their 40 or 50 HP could not defend themselves at all. That¡¯s right. If they fought on the deck, Da Fei was worried that they would surround him easily. Hence, he lured them to the narrow corridor. Then, everything happened according to his plan. When Da Fei and Katerina reunited in victory, Katerina, who was sweating profusely, waved a stack of notes happily in her hands. ¡°Captain, what do you think this is?¡± Da Fei was overjoyed. ¡°Purchase orders! You actually got it! Babe, you worked really hard!¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart then sank when he realized he killed around twenty Level 20 players. That meant he would lose another 4,000 Reputation points. He sighed and prayed that the value of these items would be enough to make up for his loss of Reputation. Otherwise, he would have trouble just trying to enter the port. As for what purchase orders were? They were the proof of receipt required for merchant players to trade with exchanges. Without valid purchase orders, all cargo would be considered black market items with an unknown history. No trade exchanges would accept those. If you ran into the marines with that cargo, it would be impounded. Hence, merchants trade by exchanging purchase orders. You only legally obtain goods when you possess the purchase orders. Hence, if Da Fei did not get the purchase orders from these players, even if he took their cargo, he would have nowhere to sell them. It would just be a waste of his time. (Author¡¯s Note: Purchase orders like these were the earliest form of futures trading. Those readers interested in futures trading can conduct your own research.) Chapter 56 Now that the players were all dead, only the small ships with one or two NPCs remained. During group fights, once the leader Hero was killed, the rest of the troops¡¯ Morale would turn negative. Although the majority of soldiers would still fight to their deaths, a few would run away, while others would become captives. Those were usually the lowest level troops. The heroes were now dead, the sailors had nothing to fight for, so they chose to jump into the ocean. Da Fei panicked. ¡°I won¡¯t kill you if you surrender! What the heck, don¡¯t go! Where do you think you can swim to?!¡± Katerina yelled angrily. ¡°Don¡¯t move! We won¡¯t kill those who stay! Those who try to escape can prepare to be fed to sharks!¡± This seemed like the pirates¡¯ intimidation technique. Finally, six sailors surrendered and stayed. As for those who jumped, they disappeared into the horizon. What the heck, they can really get away? As Da Fei thought that, he received some messages. ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You achieved ¡°Victory in Battle 1¡± and 1,140 EXP. You also received additional Command Power +1. ¡ªSystem Message: Congratulations! You won the battle. There are now 6 Trainee Sailors in your captivity. You discovered 200 units of cider, 3 units of freshwater, and 2 units of bread as loot after the battle. ¡ªSystem Message: Cider is considered a Large Item. It must be transferred to your ship¡¯s cabin before you can move it. ¡ªTrainee Sailor: Attack: 0, Defense: 0, Health Points: 4, Damage: 0-1, Attack Speed: 8, Movement Speed: 10, Command Value: 1, Special Skill: Boatmanship, Swimming. Cider? Da Fei hurriedly checked the purchase order he was holding. Then, he smiled calmly. 1 unit of cider costs 50 gold coins. 200 units will cost 10,000 gold coins. I¡¯ll be able to sell that for at least 11,000 or 12,000, right? I finally have the money needed to clean up my Reputation. Hm, I got 6 sailors for free too. Erm, thanks. Of course, this isn¡¯t me being greedy. Alright fine, I¡¯m greedy. However, you merchants were the ones who didn¡¯t want to do your trades properly. Instead, you came to rob a Red Name and a pirate. Aren¡¯t you asking for death? You won¡¯t die if you don¡¯t try. Do you get it now? Wahahaha! Katerina threw some cables and nets onto the smaller ships. Then, she instructed the 6 sailors sternly. ¡°Lift up all the cargo. Hurry up. If you dare to be lazy, I¡¯ll throw you into the sea to feed sharks!¡± The sailors were terrified and hurriedly gathered the cargo. Da Fei laughed. ¡°I¡¯ll join. I¡¯ll join too!¡± ¡­ Just then, Earthshaking Cannon who had respawned in the city was complaining angrily to Raging Sea of Blood. ¡°Big boss, I¡¯ll send you the video right now. You said that he was by himself. Who is this beauty, then? His sub-hero! She was a pirate! She stole all our purchase orders! If we knew that he had a sub-hero, none of us would¡¯ve walked into such a trap. Boss, is your information wrong? Now, we¡¯ve lost our cargo and our ships. Boss, what do you plan on doing!¡± Raging Sea of Blood looked at the familiar cabin corridor in the video. The female pirate¡¯s blurry shadow moving around in the darkness shook him to the core. He had no time to listen to this Earthshaking Cannon bullshit, so he said impatiently, ¡°I told you. I¡¯ll compensate you with the bounty!¡± Earthshaking Cannon did not give up. ¡°Boss, I know you have a lot of cash. However, gold coins are the actual currency in this game. Gold coins are more valuable! Even studios don¡¯t sell gold coins to anyone at this stage in the game. We¡¯ve lost 10,000 coins worth of cargo. 10,000 gold coins! We can¡¯t even buy that with money. My tens of brothers and I have worked tirelessly for the last week just for that batch of cargo. Boss, your bounty doesn¡¯t do us justice! Who will still care about your server-wide wanted order in the future?¡± Raging Sea of Blood was even more impatient now. ¡°10,000 dollars per person!¡± Earthshaking Cannon finally laughed. ¡°No wonder you¡¯re the big boss! You¡¯re a stand-up guy! My brothers and I didn¡¯t die for nothing! You can look for us in the future if you need anything. We¡¯ll be settling down near Erolyn.¡± Raging Sea of Blood smiled. ¡°I think that your deaths were not justified. I want to ask you for a small favor.¡± Earthshaking Cannon said carefully, ¡°We lost our ships¡­¡± Raging Sea of Blood smiled coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t think he¡¯s red enough. I want to make him so red that he turns purple. Hence, please publicize this for me. Those who die to Da Fei will receive double the compensation from me. Anyways, since that trash has lost some Reputation, we should go all the way. That way, he won¡¯t be able to go near the port. It¡¯ll be best if he¡¯s forced into a long-term tour in a foreign place!¡± Earthshaking Cannon laughed. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s easy!¡± Of course, Raging Sea of Blood was referring to the Red Names who would be exiled by the System when he talked about a ¡°long-term tour in a foreign place¡±. Raging Sea of Blood exhaled deeply. After the initial shock, he was numb now. It was no surprise no matter how that trash developed since he stole the Godly Hero reward. However, the key takeaway from that video was that he had hired a Pirate Hero. More importantly, a beautiful and enviable female hero. What did that prove? He had been ashore already. Furthermore, he was in the pirate¡¯s territory. Based on the video, some people received the System Message that they lost their purchase orders after they were killed. Pirates were indeed good at robberies! Raging Sea of Blood was intrigued¡ªhow could merchants who tirelessly travel for trades compare to pirates who just robbed others without any capital requirements? Didn¡¯t he plan on becoming a pirate to rob NPC merchant fleets back on the deserted island? Da Fei has yet to change his occupation. Hence, it seems like that¡¯s a prerequisite for peaceful interaction with the pirates. I haven¡¯t had the time to level up and choose my occupation yet since I¡¯ve been swamped with studio-related matters. I seem to fit that criterion. Alright, I¡¯ve decided. I¡¯ll become a pirate! Becoming a Knight or Pastor is too conservative. It¡¯s not suitable for naval battles. Only a Pirate will be fitting for my God-level special ability! Raging Sea of Blood immediately shared his plan with Brother Tian, Shaodong, Xiao Ma, and his other brothers. They all complained loudly. ¡°We¡¯ve already changed occupations, and you say that now?¡± Raging Sea of Blood smiled and said, ¡°Brothers, you should safely and steadily walk the legal route. I¡¯ll be the pirate and pass all the robbed cargo to you. You can then sell everything off.¡± Surprised, Shaodong said, ¡°But aren¡¯t we a studio now? It won¡¯t be good for the studio¡¯s image if you¡¯re a pirate, right?¡± Brother Tian smiled. ¡°Doesn¡¯t matter. Reputation isn¡¯t worth anything. Some people keep their tail between their legs and spend their entire lives trying to live as a good person. In the end, their entire image can be ruined because of just one mistake. Some people enjoy life to the fullest and live as the bad guys for their entire lives. Yet, just because they turn it around in the end, they get a good reputation. So, do you want to be a good person or a bad person?¡± Everyone laughed. ¡°There¡¯s no debate about that! Of course, we should enjoy life and destroy everyone else first. Then, we¡¯ll act like the good guys. By then, everyone will be thankful and kneel down in front of us!¡± Raging Sea of Blood laughed. ¡°Brother Tian is right. We need to find ways to continuously improve ourselves. It doesn¡¯t matter if everyone in the country hates us. Once we¡¯re strong enough, we¡¯ll head for the international server to fight the foreigners. We¡¯ll defeat the Koreans and the Japanese. We¡¯ll be national heroes, then. Who will dare to say anything else?¡± Everyone laughed. ¡°That¡¯s right! Brother Tao, don¡¯t worry and set sail! We¡¯ll be ashore, waiting for you!¡± ¡­ Just then, as Da Fei was sweating profusely from shifting cargo on the ship, Katerina suddenly sounded the alarm. ¡°Captain, there¡¯s another small ship heading our way!¡± Hm? One? Da Fei took out his binoculars for a better look. Indeed, there was a single white sailing ship heading his way. It was actually a small ship. What the heck! Are you serious? You want to rob me with just one ship? I¡¯ve just destroyed all twenty ships earlier, shouldn¡¯t your merchants¡¯ channel be exploding over that? You dare to come alone? Do you think that you are some solo god player? Da Fei¡¯s heart jumped. Then, he took a closer look. The player was named ¡°Sword from the West¡±! What the heck. This name looks cool! He seems like a good player! Chapter 57 He got closer! His Grandmaster Reconnaissance Skill allowed him to not only see the opponent¡¯s level but also their equipment from a long distance. ¡ªPlayer Name: Sword from the West. Level 20. Elf race, Level 1 Dual Blade Warrior, Wind Dancer. Fully equipped with equipment and items from the shop! Two Trainee Sailors subordinates. Troops Morale +1. Unknown Cargo onboard, 10 units. What¡¯s that? You can¡¯t tell anything from that information? Does he have some magic scroll that can kill me instantly? I can¡¯t see through him. Whatever, I have no interest in that anyway. You¡¯re pro, right? Show me some drifting then. Da Fei waved his hand and directed a sailor to the artillery cabin, where the ballista was. If ballista players had troops, they could assign a soldier (must be a mid or small-sized humanoid organism) to control the ballista. The damage inflicted would be accredited to the hero, and there would be no skill or attribute requirements of the soldier. Of course, dozens of ballistas could be placed on a single warship. Only the player¡¯s own ballista could be freely assigned. The other ballistas would not follow the same rules. They could only be operated by high-level sailors with Ballista Skill and high attributes. Of course, the sub-hero could also operate them. Sword from the West¡¯s small ship entered the ballista¡¯s effective range. There was nothing else to say. Fire away! ¡ªBoom! Boom! Accompanied by two explosions from the ballista, the small ship was damaged badly. Sword from the West panicked and yelled. ¡°Brother Fei! Don¡¯t fight me! I¡¯m here to deliver goods to you! After I send you the goods, you can kill me. It won¡¯t be too late!¡± Da Fei was stunned. What is he saying? I don¡¯t understand! Sword from the West continued yelling. ¡°Brother Fei. Stop firing! I¡¯ll sink if you keep firing! Big Boss made an announcement on the channel just now. He asked us to send our heads and red packets to Brother Fei. Since I¡¯m a merchant, I definitely have to come. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be purposely rooting against Brother Fei. Even if I don¡¯t come, there¡¯ll be others coming behind me. Hence, I wanted to give you my cargo to curry favor. If you sink my ship, all the cargo will be gone. Brother Fei, you¡¯ll lose big!¡± Da Fei instantly understood. What did ¡°send our heads and red packets¡± mean? That idiot wants to force me into killing others so that my Red Name will become even redder! However, since this guy is coming to die, why is he asking me to stop firing first? Of course, it must be because I will lose a different amount of Reputation points. If he drowns because I sank his ship, I¡¯ll just lose points for maliciously attacking merchants. Him falling into the water is none of my business, as that does not equate to drowning someone. He can hold onto a piece of wood and wait for rescue by drifting. This is like when players attract monsters to kill others. In reality, his death is caused by me. However, the System cannot confirm that I am the killer. After all, I won¡¯t be touching him at all, right? Who knows if he just tripped and fell into the water? On the other hand, if I stab him to death, that will be a combination of murder and malicious attack on merchants. I will lose a lot more Reputation points that way. As for the Big Boss offering incentives, he¡¯s definitely offering payouts based on my Reputation points lost. A Level 1 kill and a Level 20 kill will fetch completely different rewards. After all, I¡¯ll only lose 10 Reputation points if I kill a Level 1 Hero. However, a Level 20 Hero will cost me 200 points. How can they be paid equally? What the heck. I thought that I met a strong pro! Turns out, he¡¯s just a calculative, evil merchant! Fine, we¡¯ll each take what we need. In the end, we¡¯ll part on friendly terms. I will spare your life for now. Da Fei squatted down and yelled. ¡°Fine. Come over!¡± Sword from the West hurriedly replied, ¡°Understood! Understood!¡± As he said that, he was secretly overjoyed. He had a chance! Sword from the West was an ordinary Elf race merchant. He spawned as an ordinary Level 1 Wind Dancer. His inborn special ability was also the ordinary ¡°Wind Dancer Instructor¡±. Each time the hero gained 2 levels, the Attack and Defense of the Wind Dancers in his troops would each increase by 1 point. The Skills that he had learned so far were ordinary the Attack Skill and Luck Skill. However, he had a hidden, extraordinary trait. That was his hidden occupation as a Ranger. During the Level 10 Trial Dungeon, when he had to choose an occupation, he discovered a Hidden Mission and excelled at it. Hence, he obtained the hidden occupation special ability, Avenger¡¯s Rage! If the hero was attacked by enemies, he could exhaust 50% of his Stamina to deal a blow 3 times the normal Damage. If he had a lucky hit, that would be 6 times the damage. That would be enough to kill almost anyone instantly. Even if he could not get the instant kill, he would have an overwhelming advantage. What would that mean? It meant that he would no longer be ordinary. Of course, even a Master-level Luck Skill would only grant a 10% chance of double damage. That was not reliable enough. Hence, he needed supplementary items. He equipped common items found in markets such as the Lucky Four-leaved Clover (Luck +1), the Lucky Card (Luck +1). Apart from that, he also had high-level items like the Golden Horseshoe (Luck +2) and the Velvet Cloak (Luck +2). Finally, he also had the extremely rare, top-class item, the Lion Heart Crown (Luck +3, Morale +3). To purchase the full set of luck items in order to perfect his instant kill technique, Sword from the West started his merchant career as someone who did not possess any Nautical or Accounting Skills. Soon, Sword from the West realized that being a merchant was rather relaxing and fun. Not only could he gain EXP and money from trading, but he could also earn additional EXP, Reputation, equipment, and even items if he sold direly needed cargo to certain cities at the right time. Sword from the West always believed that his hidden Special Skill would one day change his fate. He believed that one day, he could shine brightly. Such opportunities were only for those who were prepared. Hence, he always carefully carried a bottle of Red Potion awarded by the Hidden Mission and a bottle of Stamina Potion. In this game, potions were important items that could alter the outcome of a battle. They were extremely expensive. That was also why Mage players often found the starting stage of the game very difficult. With these two potions, Sword from the West had the confidence to face two enemies just by himself! Furthermore, Sword from the West always prayed at the Goddess Altar in the city before he set sail. That would grant him 1-3 temporary Luck points. Hence, he had 8 Luck Points today with his Master-level Luck Skill, or a 16% chance to deal double damage. As Wind Dancers were dual blade warriors, both blades were considered lucky. Hence, he had a 32% chance of dealing double damage. That was a very high chance. While trading today, Sword from the West realized that the area¡¯s trading channel had exploded. The city-famous Cannon Bro¡¯s fleet was robbed by the infamous Da Fei. Who was Da Fei? Sword from the West had heard of him. In fact, merchants had a boring gaming experience. Hence, most of them assigned NPC sailors to steer and control their ships. They would then check out the gossip on forums or watch movies and chat in channels. It was difficult for him not to know about Da Fei. After all, merchants were most sensitive about Red Names. Sword from the West wanted to become famous. He wanted to be known by the entire server, just like Da Fei. Of course, he did not want to become famous the same way Da Fei did. Then, the Big Boss made his offer. Whoever went to offer their heads and red packets to Da Fei would be compensated according to the Reputation point lost by him. As a merchant, everyone knew how to calculate this deal. It was extremely worthwhile. However, even though the Big Boss was credible, Da Fei was on a huge ship. Could the merchants¡¯ small ships catch up? Even if they did, what could the small ships do? If they could neither catch up nor cause any damage, wouldn¡¯t they just be wasting their time? As everyone else was hesitating, Sword from the West, a merchant who did not possess any Nautical Skill, headed for an early start. He immediately decided on setting sail. This was the opportunity to change his own destiny that he had been waiting for! Once he succeeded in removing this huge Red Name, he could make it big in life. If he failed, he would just be killed and collect his reward later. Regardless, there was no way he could lose here. Now, he had to make Da Fei agree to let him approach. That was the first step to success! He must patiently create his own opportunity. When he got closer, he saw that there were tens of small ships full of cargo surrounding SV Fly. A few NPC sailors were busy with carrying all the cargo around. The legendary Red Name squatted on his ship¡¯s gunwale and looked down at him. Sword from the West could not maintain eye contact due to the glaring sun and Da Fei¡¯s despicable gaze. Da Fei just smiled and said, ¡°This brother. Can you do me a favor? You can tell that I¡¯m short on manpower here, right? Why don¡¯t you help me carry some cargo around first?¡± Chapter 58 - Deceive the Entire Server Seagulls glided around the blue sky. Calm waves filled the blue sea. The damaged yet grand SV Fly was silent but busy at the same time. Countless white sails started to gather around SV Fly. After all, there were very few organized fleets like Earthshaking Cannon¡¯s team. Hence, most players gathering here were individual accounts. That was the best for Da Fei! Sword from the West yelled at those who just arrived. ¡°Those who just came, be mindful and start queuing! Help Brother Fei load up the cargo!¡± What was the herd mentality? This was it! The second ship arrived aggressively, ready to start a battle. However, he was stunned when he saw Sword from the West obediently helping out in loading the cargo. Since Da Fei could deceive one person, was the second one far away? Da Fei stood on top of his tall deck and yelled. ¡°New guy, hand over your goods!¡± The newcomer was not buying it. ¡°Why?¡± Why else did you come? ¡°Because he can get 10,000, while you can¡¯t even get 5,000!¡± Da Fei said coldly. Sword from the West immediately supported Da Fei. ¡°Brother, we¡¯re here to offer our heads anyways. There¡¯s no way we can keep our cargo. Let¡¯s just think of this as selling a favor to Brother Fei. We¡¯re all merchants. Aren¡¯t we in this for the profits? There¡¯s no point in insulting Brother Fei.¡± Da Fei tapped his head and smiled. ¡°Brother, you¡¯re right. Since you won¡¯t get to keep your troops anyways, why not give me your troops now too?¡± Sword from the West smiled. ¡°No problem!¡± However, he was smiling coldly on the inside. When you try to strike later, that¡¯s when I¡¯ll activate my instant kill. The newcomer thought for a while. It made sense. Since the Big Boss was definitely compensating them, there was no need to offend a Red Name. Hence, he willingly joined the labor crew. With the second one in line, the third one was even easier. ¡°What are you guys doing?¡± The two of them replied, ¡°Come help out. Give him the cargo and troops you don¡¯t need.¡± ¡°Did the boss make this arrangement?¡± Da Fei humphed. ¡°Do I look like the boss?¡± Sword from the West continued to support Da Fei. ¡°Brother Fei is busy. Hurry and help out.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± It did not matter to the newcomer. He was fine with things as long as the Big Boss was still offering compensation. Then, the fourth person arrived. ¡°This is¡­?¡± Everyone replied, ¡°Don¡¯t ask so many questions. The sooner we move everything, the sooner we¡¯ll be done.¡± ¡°Oh¡­¡± Then, there were the fifth, sixth¡­ a busy work site was soon formed. Brother Fei¡¯s sailor army snowballed into tens of people. With such a huge army and such an orderly scene, these individual players appeared to have forgotten their original purpose in coming here. Do you know what you¡¯re doing? Actually, I don¡¯t know either. This was the herd mentality. Everyone was subconsciously leading one another. This was the similarity between humans and sheep. Both would subconsciously follow the majority. They would feel that since everyone was doing something, they should join in. Da Fei was in some multi-level marketing scheme before. He was well aware of this mentality. What next? Da Fei looked at the constantly arriving small ships with a deep and distant gaze. ¡­ ¡ª¡±Dear audience, Hero News is here with you again. We have just received a live broadcast from a helpful player in-game. The player who has attracted plenty of attention, Da Fei, has finally appeared again. He has been spotted near the Elf Kingdom¡¯s Port Erolyn. This is probably his first time approaching land after days of drifting at sea. Just half an hour ago, Da Fei killed twenty merchant players responding to Raging Sea of Blood¡¯s wanted order. He has displayed incredible combat prowess. Right now, Da Fei has reached an agreement with the remaining merchants. The merchants strive not to offend either side. In their own words, they are offering their heads, as per Raging Sea of Blood¡¯s request. On the other hand, they are compensating Da Fei for his loss of Reputation points by offering their cargo. It¡¯s a very intense situation.¡± ¡ª¡±Right now we¡¯re playing the footage from another player. This footage clearly records Da Fei¡¯s SV Fly ship in all its details. Let¡¯s connect with the Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s Dragon Fang, a famous professional eSports gamer in China, Mr. Chang Liang.¡± Host: ¡°Hello, Mr. Chang Liang?¡± An excited voice could be heard from the other end of the call. ¡°Hello! Host! Audience members! I¡¯m Chang Liang, or Dragon Fang from the largest Guild in China, the Dragon Slayer Guild. It¡¯s nice to meet you all¡­ er, via the call.¡± The host smiled and said, ¡°I heard that the newly formed Blood Sea Studio has joined the Dragon Slayer Guild. Then, the players are quite concerned about this issue. How will the Dragon Slayer Guild be treating this Da Fei?¡± Chang Liang smiled and said, ¡°That¡¯s the personal feud between Raging Sea of Blood and the other player. It does not represent our Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s position. Our Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s main objective is to let everyone have fun while playing.¡± Host: ¡°Now that player Da Fei has sailed such a huge ship back, it must have left a deep impression on all the players there. What impact will such a huge ship have on the current players?¡± Chang Liang sighed. ¡°I personally feel that this really seems like cheating? I trust that all the merchant players there will share the same thought as me. However, judging from the video, this ship is filled with cracks and patches everywhere. Furthermore, the wood used to patch the cracks are decaying into mud. I believe that the ship will not have a long operational period from here on out. This may be a one-time use item awarded by the System, hopefully.¡± The host smiled. ¡°There are close to 100 merchant ships in position now. Based on the estimates given by the players at the location, there are around 60 players above Level 10 and 30 players above Level 20. If Da Fei kills them all, how many gold coins will he need to clear his Red Name? Will the value of the cargo brought by these merchant players be enough for him to pay for the cost required to clear his name?¡± Chang Liang laughed. ¡°The ratio between the Red Name Reputation and the amount of money required to clear one¡¯s name is around 1:1. However, the lower your Reputation is, the more it will cost to clear your name. I heard that he lost 3,000 Reputation points after killing Raging Sea of Blood on the island. Just now, he wiped out a 20-man merchant fleet who were all around Level 20. That¡¯s another -4,000 Reputation points. He has to spend a minimum of 10,000 gold coins to clear his name. If he continues this rampage and his Reputation points fall below -10,000, his title will directly become ¡®Criminal¡¯. He might not have the chance to clear his Red Name anymore. Instead, he might be directly captured by the NPC maritime police and sent to the Villains¡¯ Island. He will be forced to repent and repay for his sins through physical labor there. To be honest, I actually really want to see what the settings on the Villains¡¯ Island are like.¡± The host smiled. ¡°I heard that it¡¯s a separate server. All the Red Names across the world are all exiled there.¡± Chang Liang smiled and replied, ¡°He¡¯ll probably be really lonely there.¡± Just then, a commotion broke out in the background footage. The host was surprised. ¡°The order is disturbed. There¡¯s some new development!¡± ¡­ He was right. There was some new development! Just then, a strong gust of wind suddenly arrived. All the small ships around SV Fly swayed greatly. This was the perfect opportunity that Da Fei was waiting for! What perfect opportunity was he waiting for? Of course, he asked all the sailors to get into positions and set sail! Large ships were always slower in the calm coastal waters. Since it was fully stopped because of the series of robberies and fights, it desperately needed a strong gust of wind to take off. As for small ships, they were extremely unstable due to the swaying caused by the heavy wind. How would they have the ability to give chase? When else can I run? Did you really think that I¡¯ll kill you all? Can I still play this game if I do that? I¡¯d rather offend the entire server than to offend the NPCs! Haha, wahahahaha! As expected, the merchant players who realized that they were cheated immediately shouted angrily, ¡°Liar! Trash liar!¡± ¡°Everyone, chase him together. Attack his ship and sink it. Don¡¯t let him get away!¡± ¡°I knew that something was off, so I recorded footage and uploaded it!¡± ¡°This Sword from the West must be his accomplice. Everyone, let¡¯s throw him into the ocean to feed the turtles!¡± Sword from the West yelled. ¡°I¡¯m a victim too. I was lied to as well!¡± ¡­ SV Fly, with all positions occupied by sailors now, set sail. As the tens of small ships struggled to catch up to SV Fly and attack the ship body, Da Fei smiled calmly. You guys can throw all the things you want. I¡¯ll be making a move first. At the same time, he secretly celebrated his good fortune. If there was no strong wind to assist his break out, his ship would have suffered great damages. He would¡¯ve had to start killing some of the merchants. Sword from the West was thrown into the sea by angry players. Da Fei sighed as he watched it happen. This was exactly like multi-level marketing. The initial lie is simple. However, once the atmosphere and order are created, many people will still fall for it. Sword from the West played the most important role in any MLM scheme, the role of the cadre! I¡¯m not trying to hurt you guys. I¡¯m educating you. Being cheated in a game is much better than being cheated in real life. This is called ¡°learning about the evil so that you will protect the kind¡±. Haha! ¡­ Just then, in the Hero News broadcast room, the Host was speechless as he stared at the live feed on the screen. Finally, Chang Liang spoke. ¡°Host, can you allow me to curse in front of the audience?¡± Chapter 59 - Clearing Red Name The entire Hero Forum in the China server exploded. It was fine to cheat. It was fine to PK. It was fine to rob others. However, if you tried to cheat, PK, and rob others in front of millions of audience members, that was a big deal. This was an embarrassment for the world to see! People could imagine how many other countries would be laughing at this footage. As everyone watched this, how should the mastermind behind all this, Raging Sea of Blood, respond? Logically speaking, the merchants were too greedy and silly. They deserved to be cheated, especially since they tried to collude with the enemy. Raging Sea of Blood could not tolerate that! However, if he did not do anything to compensate them, who would still take the wanted order seriously? Where would his studio¡¯s authority go? Fortunately, none of the players lost their lives. After the Blood Sea Studio¡¯s management team discussion, they decided to compensate the players by converting their cargo value to cash compensation. This at least consoled the merchants. Furthermore, they all posted on the China server forum, warning everyone against selling their purchase orders to trash Da Fei. That way, even if Da Fei had a huge ship, he would not be able to carry much cargo. The posts flooded the forum and received overwhelming replies. To Raging Sea of Blood, his true goal had been obtained. Da Fei was shamed by the entire China server and became public enemy number one. How long more could he survive? You want to play with me? Pui! I¡¯ll kill you! ¡­ Just then, Da Fei finally arrived at the port with his 800 orders of cargo worth 40,000 gold coins. A few Golden Armor Knights riding Dragon Eagles landed in front of him. ¡ª¡±You are suspected of illegal practices. Your ship will be impounded and your movement will be limited. Please cooperate and follow us for an investigation.¡± These were the legendary City Inspectors with mysterious combat prowess. Players would assume that they could defeat these officers once they reached Level 100 or so. However, once they actually reached that level, they would realize that the closer they were to God, the tinier they felt. As a Red Name who had been chased and surrounded by countless people, Da Fei suddenly felt like he finally met a trustworthy organization! He finally felt relaxed and freed. ¡°I willingly accept the investigation!¡± The scenery around Da Fei suddenly changed with a flash of white light. He appeared in a solemn and grand black hall. On the high tower right in the middle of the hall, there was an NPC wearing a black coat with the name ¡°Adjudicator¡±. His dignified voice could be heard throughout the hall as he banged his gavel. ¡°Do you know your sins?¡± ¡ªSystem Message: As a Red Name, you face the following adjudication. You can choose to accept any one of the following punishments. What else is there to say? Why did I cheat so many people of their cargo? Da Fei nodded and said, ¡°I know my sins! I will change! I¡¯m willing to hand over my cargo in order to repent for my mistakes.¡± The judge was satisfied. ¡°Money cannot clear your sins. However, you get a chance to rehabilitate and make yourself into a better person while on bail. You must cherish God¡¯s forgiveness. Know your place and become a better person!¡± ¡ªSystem Message: You handed over 235 orders of cargo worth 12,310 gold coins to be released on bail. You became a Yellow Name. ¡ªYellow Name: Protected by the same laws and citizen rights as a White Name player. However, your Reputation points are still negative. You must accumulate your own Reputation or donate at churches in order to completely atone for your sins. The scenery changed again. Da Fei appeared at the dock. As Da Fei looked at the blue sky, the flying seagulls, the bustling crowd, and the busy port, he finally felt a sense of belonging, like he finally returned to a civilized society. Da Fei let out a breath of relief. I¡¯m finally safe. This calm and steady feeling is so amazing! What now? Of course, he had to check on his sweetheart on his ship. Needless to say, Da Fei was greeted by his sweetheart¡¯s passionate hug. ¡°Captain, it¡¯s wonderful that you came out so fast!¡± Ah~ As Da Fei enjoyed the pressure exerted by her voluptuous body, he gently caressed her back and smiled. ¡°Who am I? How can they lock me there? Wahahaha!¡± Katerina laughed. ¡°That¡¯s right. If the Captain can¡¯t get out, I can¡¯t get off this ship. That will be so stifling for me.¡± Da Fei smiled and said, ¡°Let¡¯s go. We¡¯ll create a Sailing Permit at the Alliance of Sea Merchants. After that, we¡¯ll sell our cargo. Once we earn some money, the first thing I¡¯ll do is buy you some pretty clothes.¡± Katerina smiled and said, ¡°Our cash flow is tight now. Don¡¯t rush to buy clothes. We just lost 235 orders of cargo. Most of the remaining goods are produced from this port. They will only sell for 70% of the import price here. Some of them came from nearby ports. Those can bring us a little bit of profit. We can probably earn around 30,000 gold coins. After repairing the ship with that money, we¡¯ll have around 20,000 gold coins. That¡¯s enough to pay for the deposit of the transport missions from the Chamber of Commerce.¡± Who said that she¡¯s a gold digger? She¡¯s so smart and virtuous! Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll do as you say!¡± I probably pissed off everyone after lying to those merchants just now, right? It¡¯s probably impossible for me to buy purchase orders from players. I can only accept long-distance transport missions from the Chamber of Commerce. Da Fei walked on the main street with Katerina and his big Yellow Name. He instantly attracted everyone¡¯s attention. The entire city¡¯s chat channel exploded. ¡°That trash liar Da Fei appeared!¡± ¡°Trash! He used all the cargo he cheated from others to clear his Red Name!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t sell any purchase orders to this trash! Let him waste the space on his big ship!¡± ¡­ Da Fei felt a wave of emotions. How many years has it been since I last heard such passionate screams? That was my youth. That was my passion. That was the period of no regret when my blood still boiled! A huge crowd stopped Da Fei in his tracks. The leader was someone called Earthshaking Cannon. These players stared menacingly at Da Fei. Then, they turned to stare at the sexy Katerina with envy and lust. Da Fei looked at the dwarf disdainfully out of the corner of his eyes and sighed. ¡°Excuse me. It¡¯s illegal to hold up traffic. Everyone, you need to be law-abiding, good players!¡± ¡ªSputter! Everyone spat out some blood! Earthshaking Cannon angrily pointed at Da Fei and threatened him. ¡°We¡¯ll see! Don¡¯t let my brothers and I see you again!¡± Who is that? Da Fei shook his head and squeezed through the crowd, leaving everyone berating and scolding him from behind. After that, he created a Sailing Permit at the Alliance of Sea Merchants. The location where the Sailing Permit was created was very important. If it was created in Erolyn, players could purchase more goods in the city. This was why players from other Kingdoms chose to come to Erolyn. Of course, those players still had tighter restrictions on a purchase than local players, but at the same time, they possessed unique advantages as well. After settling the permit, I have to go to the trading exchange to sell my goods. Even though I only have half my purchase orders left, this is still my first bucket of gold. Wahahahaha! There was a dispirited player sitting in front of the exchange, Sword from the West. He raised his head as he heard some cursing and yelling. He saw Da Fei coming straight toward him with a complex expression. Da Fei shook his head and patted him on the shoulder. ¡°Brother, you have been wronged!¡± Everyone cursed. ¡°Look at that. I knew it. They¡¯re on the same side!¡± Sword from the West slapped Da Fei¡¯s hand away and stood up before yelling angrily, ¡°He¡¯s a liar. I¡¯m not on the same side as him!¡± Da Fei sighed. ¡°Life is like the tide of the sea, sometimes it rises and sometimes it falls. You¡¯ll always have to fight before you can win¡­¡± Sword from the West said angrily, ¡°You make it sound so easy! All my money is gone now. Boss thinks I¡¯m a liar too, so he¡¯s not compensating me. My reputation is ruined. I can¡¯t do this anymore.¡± Oh, the emphasis is that the boss didn¡¯t give him any money? Da Fei sighed. ¡°Then?¡± Sword from the West stared into Da Fei¡¯s eyes and said with a deep voice. ¡°I have one final request! I want to fight you one-on-one in the arena!¡± If players died during PKs held in arenas, they would not suffer any losses. Da Fei asked, ¡°So, you want to kill me there?¡± Sword from the West said with a deep voice, ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± Da Fei shook his head. ¡°You won¡¯t stand a chance.¡± Sword from the West gritted his teeth. ¡°Chance doesn¡¯t matter!¡± Da Fei sighed. ¡°Alright. Since you helped me out once before, I¡¯ll let you work through your thoughts.¡± Accompanied by everyone¡¯s cursing and shouting, the two of them arrived at the arena in the city. Da Fei sighed. ¡°Turn on the Public Mode.¡± Sword from the West yelled. ¡°I will be settling things with the liar Da Fei at the arena! Come watch us if you¡¯re interested!¡± Everyone cursed again. ¡°You¡¯re just acting again. Why not PK in the wild if you dare to?!¡± Sword from the West looked even more angry and upset now. Despite all this, when the two of them entered the arena, tens of players still spectated from the audience stand. Sword from the West faced Da Fei and his sub-hero and decisively said, ¡°Let¡¯s begin!¡± Da Fei squatted down and shook his head. ¡°Wait for a while more.¡± ¡°For what?¡± Da Fei shook his head and kept silent. Of course I¡¯m waiting for more audience members. Some of them will surely believe in you, right? If nobody actually believes you, you might as well just walk down the wrong path and become my little brother. You seem like a loyal person with a calculative mind, much better than that Dawei. You just don¡¯t understand my concern for you. The arena was slowly filled with hundreds of people. Everyone was soon shouting and cursing at them. It was about time. Da Fei did not stand up. Instead, he just said calmly, ¡°Let¡¯s begin.¡± Sword from the West unsheathed his dual blades and ran toward Da Fei. Katerina rushed forward as well! Everyone turned silent. She was only the second female Hero in the server. Everyone was looking forward to seeing her real power! Even though nobody thought that the Level 20 Sword from the West stood a chance, he was also someone with high Attack Speed. They wanted to see just how wide the gap was! A flash of blood and white light was seen! ¡ªSword from the West: Your sub-hero, Katerina, dealt 46 points of Damage against Sword from the West. Sword from the West has been affected by the paralytic toxin. His movement is restricted! Everyone clamored! The second flash of blood was seen! ¡ªSystem Message: Your sub-hero, Katerina, dealt 14 points of Damage against Sword from the West. She has defeated Sword from the West! Everyone turned silent. Da Fei sighed. ¡°If we¡¯re at sea, you will be dead after the first strike. I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the secret ultimate move you have. It might be a scroll that can deal an instant kill. However, you really have no chance.¡± After that, Sword from the West slowly sat up. His face was pale and his body trembled. His dream was shattered! After a brief period of silence, everyone started discussing the fight. Sword from the West looked around and yelled at the top of his lungs with his final energy. ¡°I, Sword from the West, never lied to anyone. To prove my innocence, I will log off and delete my account!!!¡± Accompanied by everyone¡¯s clamor, Sword from the West logged off and disappeared! What the heck? Did he seriously delete his account? Da Fei sighed. What good will that do you? How much is the innocence of an unimportant character like you worth? Do you think that you can shock everyone and make some people shed a tear for you? Whatever. I¡¯ve cured another teenager with internet addiction. What the heck. I¡¯m a professional player, okay. If I cure everyone, what will I do for a living? Chapter 60 - Contribute Tuna Roe Da Fei returned to the trading exchange. All the merchants were still berating him. Chey, are you guys done being so righteous? Are you sure that you¡¯re the victims from just now? Own up. You must be hired by that idiot to insult me, right? Sure, Raging Sea of Blood, I¡¯ll start calling you the Poverty Alleviation Director from now on! Just you wait. I¡¯ll make you one of the Top Ten Best Teenagers in the country! I¡¯ll make you become the Chairman of the Red Cross! Da Fei then started his first trade with the NPC at the exchange as if nothing happened. ¡ªSystem Message: You sold 80 units of cider at the price of 38 gold coins per unit. You earned 3,040 gold coins. ¡ªNovice Guide: As your selling price is lower than the purchase price, you cannot obtain any EXP through this trade. There¡¯s nothing I can do about that. After all, the cider is produced in this city. It¡¯s good enough that they aren¡¯t taking it in at half-price. There¡¯s no way I¡¯d be willing to make that trade usually. However, my ship needs to be emptied before it can be repaired. ¡ªSystem Message: You sold 125 units of fragrant nuts at the price of 125 gold coins per unit. You earned 8,125 gold coins. Your net profit from this trade is 1,825 gold coins. You gained 182 EXP. ¡ªSystem Message: You said 40 units of lavender at the price of 200 gold coins per unit. You earned 8,000 gold coins. Your net profit from this trade is 1,500 gold coins. You gained 150 EXP. ¡ªSystem Message: You said 300 units of morrowgrain at the price of 45 gold coins per unit. You earned 13,500 gold coins. Your net profit from this trade is 1,700 gold coins. You gained 170 EXP. All the trades were completed. Da Fei received 32,665 gold coins in total. That was a huge fortune for any player at this stage in the game. Indeed, a man can never get rich without earnings outside his regular occupation. Actually, I didn¡¯t want to take so much money. I just wanted to clear my Red Name. Sigh, I guess when the fortune God wants to visit you, you just can¡¯t stop him. Wahaha! Two things were closely related to trading: trading EXP and city specialty products. Under normal circumstances, the EXP that players received would only be 10% of the net profit value. However, this was the difference that separated high-level merchants from ordinary merchants who were more like delivery couriers. Trading required plenty of skills. The market trend and prices were constantly changing. There were a few scenarios that would grant merchants additional EXP. The most common one when a city was in urgent need. For instance, if the merchant player heard that NPC trader saying to himself, ¡°Aiya, the city is in urgent need of nuts!¡± The merchant could immediately transport a batch of fragrant nuts back for sale. He would instantly receive a 100% net profit to the EXP conversion reward. Furthermore, he would receive additional Reputation rewards. If the trader was happy, he might even directly give out a piece of equipment or low-level item. When the city faced urgent needs, huge profits could be earned. The players would gain money, EXP, and Reputation all at once. The next scenario would be catastrophes. For instance, if a city faced negative situations like diseases or famines, merchants could receive 100% profit to EXP conversion by delivering medicine or food. Finally, during festivals or special occasions, merchants could sell alcohol, sweets, and flowers for 100% EXP as well. However, even if all three situations occurred concurrently and players received 300% EXP to net profit conversion, the EXP they received would still be a lot lower than the players who fought monsters. After all, trading took a lot longer. At the same time, beginner merchants always traded in small amounts due to their small ship capacity. The real, significant deal was actually cross-kingdom trades. Especially cross-kingdom specialty product trades! Elf Kingdom products could be sold for 8-10 times the purchase price in the Human Kingdom. The reason for such exorbitant profits was that these products were not ordinary products. Instead, they were Alliance-approved ¡°specialty products¡±! Trading specialty products would grant merchants a 100% additional EXP boost. In Da Fei¡¯s case, if he spent all 30,000 gold coins to purchase the city¡¯s specialty product, ¡°Goddess Oak Statue¡± and traveled for a month in-game, or three days in real life, to the Human Kingdom, he could sell them all for 300,000 gold coins. He would also receive 300,000 EXP! 300,000 was too little? The purchase price of the Goddess Oak Statue was 100 gold coins for one unit. 30,000 gold coins would only be enough for 300 units. Da Fei¡¯s cabin would not be full yet. That was indeed too little. If he had an initial capital of 100,000 gold coins though, he could hit full capacity for 1,000 units. If he transported all that over? 1,000,000 EXP! Three days of real-time for 1,000,000 EXP. Who would find that too little? Hm, maybe for players above Level 60. However, nobody would find it unimpressive for 100,000 gold coins to turn into 1,000,000 gold coins, right? What could you do with 1,000,000 gold coins? Angels were 5,000 gold coins each. You could buy 200 of them! If you had enough Reputation points, you could even build a small city in the New World! Of course, Angels, huge ships capable of transporting thousands of orders, specialty products, and building cities were all things possible only in the distant future. Those were not concerns that players should have at this stage, especially specialty products. Players had to possess extremely high Reputation in both the city and the Alliance, as well as high-level Sailing Permits. Furthermore, specialty products were allocated based on the player¡¯s investment share in that particular city. What did allocation based on investment share mean? Each city had its own Prosperity value. Players could spend gold coins to invest in the city¡¯s Prosperity value, in turn raising the city¡¯s cargo and specialty product yield and quality. Once the quality was maxed out, new specialty products could be developed. Of course, players could raise their own Reputation during this process. For instance, a player whose personal investment share in a city was 20% could only purchase 20% of the specialty product yield. During the open beta, some large Guilds with rich financial reserves started trade wars. They madly invested in certain ports to push out individual players and dilute their investment shares. The cruelty of the trade wars was no less intense than physical battles. Those who lost in the trade wars lost both their lives and their money. In conclusion, specialty products were not so easy to obtain. Normal players should just focus their attention on high-quality products. After all, they could still earn 2-5 times the profit through normal cross-kingdom trades. Da Fei held onto his 30,000 gold coins and sighed secretly as he heard the merchants around him yelling, ¡°Nobody should trade with him!¡±. According to his original plan, he would have been yelling at the top of his lungs now, ¡°High price to buy in purchase orders!¡± Then, a huge crowd of merchants would have approached him for trades, and his ship would have been filled with cargo. Even if they were not specialty products, he could still earn a lot of EXP, Reputation points, and gold coins by selling them in another kingdom. I could¡¯ve earned so much money! Sigh, I pissed everyone off. Even if I didn¡¯t do the things I did though, people would probably still not accept my big ship. Life is like floating on the river and the ocean. I can only fix my ship and prepare for long-distance missions. What a waste of talent. Wait! Specialty product? I have that! Da Fei hurriedly took out an item. ¡ªTuna Roe: Sea product. Can be used to breed tuna in territories owned by players near the ocean. Tuna is a delicious large-sized type of seafood. It¡¯s difficult to catch and wildly popular on the market. According to the official site¡¯s introduction on contributing new products, offering this will equate to adding a new industry to the city, regardless of whether the item is considered a specialty product by the Alliance. My Reputation will instantly turn positive. Furthermore, I will own at least 10% of the supply quota for this product. This 10% is solely reserved for me, without any requirements on my Sailing Permit. Other merchants can¡¯t buy the supply even if they have the money. I won¡¯t lose this trade war! In other words, once the timing is right, I won¡¯t even need to set sail. I can just buy out all the tuna stock in the exchange. Then, I¡¯ll just sell it off right away for a profit. ¡°Selling fish for high prices! Big bosses, come to collect them from me!¡± Even though I originally planned on selling this after observing the market trend, I can¡¯t wait anymore under the current circumstances. Business opportunities are all about being first. Furthermore, I¡¯m heavily disadvantaged right now and losing my edge. I have to open up the playing field with a big move! Of course, the most important thing is that I get to vent my feelings! I need to act cool and posture! If I don¡¯t posture, people might think that I¡¯m struggling to survive. That way, nobody will ever shut up. How will I ever enjoy some peace and quiet again? Hence, Da Fei instantly made a decision. He looked for the NPC manager at the trade exchange. ¡°I want to offer a sea product.¡± The manager was overjoyed. ¡°Thank you for supporting our city¡¯s development. We are a coastal city, and this sea product is very suitable for us to develop! You have contributed greatly to our city¡¯s growth! This is my letter of recommendation. Please proceed to collect your reward from Mayor Oserriman at the City Hall!¡± I see! Meeting the mayor directly, what does that mean? Friends, do you understand how high of a level I need to be in order to meet the mayor directly? Da Fei walked out of the exchange laughing. He was surrounded by constant and non-stop cursing from the other merchants, and nobody knew why he was so happy! ¡­ ¡ªErolyn City Broadcast: Congratulations! Da Fei contributed a new product to Erolyn City. Mayor Oserriman has given player Da Fei the title of ¡°Erolyn City Honorary Citizen¡± for his great contribution. Player Da Fei¡¯s Reputation in Erolyn City is now ¡°Respected¡±! Everyone was instantly stunned. Then, the entire city was outraged. ¡°What the heck! Where¡¯s the justice in this?!¡± Chapter 61 - Chapter 61: Chapter 58: The Pool of Radiance of the Resurrected Old Ship Chapter 61: Chapter 58: The Pool of Radiance of the Resurrected Old Ship Elorin City Hall. The mayor, Auseliman, a tall and dignified middle-aged Druid with a long flowing beard and luxurious clothing, warmly shook hands with Da Fei. Attendants served fruit wine, and the two men laughed heartily, raising their glasses in celebration. Auseliman praised, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, as a member of the Human Race who has traveled far across the ocean to support the development of our Elf Clan, what kind of spirit is that? That¡¯s the spirit of internationalism! Mr. Da Fei is a noble man, a pure man, a man who has transcended low-level taste! Mr. Da Fei is a role model for the youth of our Bright Alliance! Let¡¯s toast to Mr. Da Fei¡¯s contributions!¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Thanks for the praise, Mr. Mayor. Cheers!¡± Auseliman smiled, ¡°Sir¡¯s products will need at least half a year to be cultivated. After six months, it will be time for Sir to achieve great ambitions. You are the first one to invest in our city, so we should offer you the greatest discount. Not only do you hold a fixed quota of 20% of the Golden Spearfish, but you also receive a 20% discount on purchases.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have obtained the achievement ¡°Elorin City¡¯s First Investor¡± and have secured a fixed quota of 20% of the Golden Spearfish. Da Fei laughed, ¡°Thank you, Mr. Mayor.¡± This is the advantage of being the first! Half a year is just half a month in real-time, right? The holidays will have passed by then. But surely the reward isn¡¯t just some reputation and discounts, right? What else is there? I want the real deal! Auseliman laughed, ¡°However, half a year is a long time to wait, which could result in a significant loss of business opportunities for a merchant. As compensation, Mr. Da Fei, feel free to make any requests you have now, and if it¡¯s within my power, I will do my best to fulfill them.¡± Da Fei¡¯s spirit lifted! This is the real deal! Ordinary citizens meeting the mayor¨Cif you don¡¯t push your agenda, seek favors, and negotiate debts, are you even living your life properly? My requests must be life-changing, game-changing; I have to think clearly and make a thoughtful choice! What do I urgently need now? Mr. Mayor, can you give me a hundred Jade Dragons? Holy crap! That¡¯s crude! Haven¡¯t seen much of the world. Mr. Mayor, how about sending me a dozen Divine Artifacts? Not bad! Mr. Mayor, how about a troop of legendary Female Elf heroes? That¡¯s even more exciting, huh! Mr. Mayor, how about gifting me a territory and a castle? Now that¡¯s flashy! Mr. Mayor, how about a few secret part-time jobs? Damn! Do I really take him for a genie? Are NPCs backed by the system that generous? At this moment, Catherine, by his side, whispered in his ear, ¡°Ship¡­¡± Ship? Da Fei suddenly realized, that¡¯s the most reliable request. I don¡¯t want soldiers, land, or artifacts; as a merchant, asking for a special kind of ship shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right? As the mayor, such a small favor should be within your grasp, right? Da Fei cleared his throat and said, ¡°Mr. Mayor, my ship is a special vessel, but it¡¯s very old. Could you possibly help me get a new one? I can pay for it¡­ get a mortgage, pay in installments.¡± Auseliman laughed heartily, shaking his head repeatedly. Da Fei¡¯s heart sank. Could it be that special ships are indeed beyond the reach of just any mayor? Auseliman clapped his hands, and an attendant entered, saying, ¡°What can I do for you, sir?¡± Auseliman produced a card and spoke with gravity, ¡°Take my name card and invite the Great Druid of the Druid Guild, Elder Marthadil. Our city¡¯s honored guest has important matters to discuss with him.¡± The attendant bowed and departed. Seeing this, Da Fei got the sense that this Great Druid was not a minor figure, not only did the mayor have to use his name card to make the invitation, but he also had to disclose the reasons to him first. Big shot, indeed! But extending such an invitation indicated hopeful prospects, and Da Fei was instantly excited. Auseliman sighed, ¡°Perhaps this is an opportunity, perhaps Mr. Da Fei could create a miracle!¡± Da Fei asked in surprise, ¡°What does sir mean?¡± Auseliman opined with a sigh, ¡°We Druids believe that every tree has a spirit, and even deadwood can see spring again. So even if Mr. Da Fei¡¯s ship is old and decayed, it might still have a chance of being rejuvenated!¡± Da Fei exclaimed in delight, ¡°I see! Thank you, Mr. Mayor!¡± Deadwood revived! Damn, I really did come to the right place in the Elf Kingdom, where they specialize in wood! From what he¡¯s implying, does this mean my ship is going to be rejuvenated? It might even come to life! Auseliman shook his head and sighed, ¡°But it won¡¯t be that easy, Mr. Da Fei. You¡¯ll need to discuss the details with the Great Druid Elders.¡± Seeing his expression, Da Fei suddenly felt a strong sense of being duped rush towards him. Da Fei said in astonishment, ¡°Is it really that troublesome? How about just giving me the special ship materials and I¡¯ll have the shipyard build it¡­¡± Auseliman said indifferently, ¡°We are Elves, we are Druids, the guardians of the forest. We do not cut down rare trees, please understand, Mr. Da Fei.¡± Da Fei chuckled dryly, ¡°My apologies, haha.¡± Damn it! If I had known this, I might as well have contributed to the Human Kingdom where we cut down trees without a second thought! Just then, a hearty laughter came from outside the door, ¡°The guest that the mayor has asked to see must be quite extraordinary indeed!¡± The mayor hurried to the door to personally welcome them, ¡°Elder, please come in!¡± An elderly Elf with a slender figure, clothed in a flora-camouflaged robe, and bearing white hair and beard, holding a colorful glowing staff, entered the room with a light and composed air, ¡°Is this young friend our city¡¯s distinguished guest?¡± Damn it, looking at the Hero Aura beneath his feet and his old age, he¡¯s definitely a hidden Legendary Hero. Da Fei hurried forward to greet him, ¡°It is indeed me.¡± Auseliman said, ¡°Mr. Da Fei wishes to resurrect his special ship that¡¯s nearing the end of its lifespan. I believe this is an opportunity.¡± The Great Elder squinted at Da Fei, nodding repeatedly, ¡°Impressive, to become a navigator at such a young age, your future knows no bounds.¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°You flatter me, Elder.¡± The Great Elder nodded, ¡°Navigator may be a new profession, but it is certainly the bravest, the wisest, and the most adventurous one in the world. This arduous task is most suited for you!¡± An arduous task? Da Fei suddenly had a bad feeling. The Great Elder continued, ¡°To resurrect your ship, the most direct and reliable method is to go to the Pool of Radiance. That is where the sap from the roots of the World Tree gathers underground to form the Earth Sea. It is the Sea of Life, the source of nutrients for the World Tree. However, the Earth Sea is too close to the center of the earth. It is inevitable to come into contact with Demons from the Underworld Abyss, contaminating the Pool of Radiance and depriving it of vitality. In response, the World Tree¡¯s roots have initiated a Protection Barrier for self-preservation, preventing the invasion of more powerful Demons, but also blocking our stronger forces¡¯ reinforcements. This stalemate cannot continue indefinitely; we need a young Warrior to lead a team into the Pool of Radiance, to drive out the Demons and purify the pool. Then, the rejuvenated vitality of the Pool will breathe new life into your ship, and it will be greatly strengthened too!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: The Great Elder of the Druid Guild in Elorin City has issued you with an Epic Quest ¡°Purifying the Pool of Radiance.¡± Do you accept? ¡ª-Task Hint: The Pool of Radiance is located beneath the Elf Kingdom¡¯s World Tree on Hero Continent, its contamination is a concern for the Elf Kingdom. The World Tree¡¯s Protection Barrier only allows heroes below level 30 to enter. The Elf Kingdom is looking for eligible heroes across the land to enter the barrier and purify the Pool of Radiance. ¡ª-Task Hint: Player and Vice Hero must not be above level 30 to undertake this quest. ¡ª-Ah spit! Da Fei almost coughed up blood! Even ship repair results in an Epic Quest! I knew it, there¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch; were you guys planning to double-cross me? ¡°My friend, what do you think?¡± asked the Great Elder, eyeing Da Fei in a way that made him feel rather uncomfortable. Coach, I just wanted some ship materials! The mayor added, ¡°To be honest, this task is extremely arduous and risky; it¡¯s perfectly understandable if you choose not to accept it.¡± But this is an Epic Quest from the mayor! As a commoner, how often in one¡¯s life does one get the opportunity to meet the mayor? This is the chance I traded precious goods for, a chance to repair my ship; no player would decline, not to mention a Master like me. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Naturally, Da Fei had nothing more to say, ¡°I accept!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have accepted the Epic Quest ¡°Purifying the Pool of Radiance!¡± The Great Elder and mayor clapped in admiration, ¡°Truly a promising young Warrior indeed!¡± (I¡¯m asking for all kinds of support, school¡¯s starting¨Chave all my classmates arrived yet?) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 62 - Chapter 62: Chapter 59 Searching for Selvia Chapter 62: Chapter 59 Searching for Selvia Mr. Da Fei asked, ¡°How do we get to the Earth Sea? Should I sail there?¡± The Great Elder laughed, ¡°Exactly, the plan is to use a large array to teleport your entire ship to the Earth Sea. This undertaking requires preparation and it¡¯s not just up to me alone. I¡¯ll head to the Kingdom Capital immediately to report this and in about 10 days, the Kingdom will send a Mage Group here. Then, the teleportation will begin.¡± The Mayor was also energized, ¡°Exactly, so Mr. Da Fei, you should immediately start preparing whatever you need within these 10 days. Repairing the ship, provisioning, readying the troops, you name it¨Cleave it all to us. This time, our city will spare no effort in supporting the chosen hero! Once you successfully complete the mission, you would be not only a hero of Elorin but also a hero of the entire Elf Kingdom!¡± Damn it! The system is providing troops and supplies even before the mission starts? Is the system that generous? And if I fail, I and my crew will be whitewashed? Mr. Da Fei wondered, ¡°I also need about ten or fifteen Crossbow Cannons and skilled gunners. Will the Mayor provide all these?¡± The Mayor laughed heartily, ¡°Of course, we will even prepare the Magic Array sails necessary for sailing under windless underground conditions. So the current issue isn¡¯t what we can provide to you, but rather how much you can take with you. I suggest you hire two more Vice Heroes to accompany you because with your current Command Power, you won¡¯t be able to take many troops.¡± The Great Elder cheerfully said, ¡°Time is pressing. I¡¯ll set off for the Royal Capital immediately. Mr. Mayor, and young friend, start preparing early.¡± The Mayor hurriedly added, ¡°Elder, have a safe trip! I¡¯m going to start the preparations now! Well then, Mr. Da Fei, please excuse me! By the way, if you have any questions during this time, feel free to ask me!¡± Mr. Da Fei nodded repeatedly, ¡°Sure, sure.¡± Holy moly! Now this Epic Quest is really grand and truly epic¨Ca proper expedition! Isn¡¯t it far superior to Juan¡¯s lame uncle writing a will and calling it epic? Hiring Vice Heroes, huh? As a Level 25 hero with three tactical positions, I¡¯ve already recruited Katerina, and could recruit two more, but both Katerina and my Command Power are painfully low. Especially as Epic Heroes, Katerina¡¯s mere 36-point Command compared to the first Epic Hero of Fleeting Blossom¡¯s 1000 points is truly a world apart. It can¡¯t be helped; an official Vice Hero upon debut is constrained by the kingdom¡¯s orders and can¡¯t just wander off, otherwise leading 1000 archers would be an unimaginable sweep. But I wonder what that 15-year-old girl from Serbia, yeah, going back to the Human Kingdom might check that out, and perhaps class-change to Knight. Knight is the class where each skill level ¡°reduces total army damage by 5% and increases the hero¡¯s Command Power by 5%,¡± which is why the notable trait of the Human Race is having durable and numerous troops. Mr. Da Fei left the City Hall, only to be surrounded by a crowd of players as soon as he stepped out. ¡°Wasn¡¯t he honored by this city? Why does he still have a Yellow name?¡± ¡°Honored by the city doesn¡¯t mean honored by the Alliance.¡± ¡°Is there no justice left? He must have looted something good to gain this fake honor!¡± Ha! Someone hit the nail on the head. Yes, this honor is a fake honor, but still better than these common folk! Annoyed, aren¡¯t you? That¡¯s a problem, cure it! Wahahaha! This so-called fake honor is just superficial reputation. Reputation can be real or fake. Like, we have to respect our superiors, so we all show respect, greeting them courteously. But folks, let¡¯s be truthful, how many of you genuinely respect them? If they step down, how many would continue to respect them? So, this is what¡¯s called fake honor, or rather, official honor. The honor Mr. Da Fei received from the mayor in the form of an Honorary Citizen title is such a fake honor¨Chow can someone who no one in the city recognizes gain true respect from others? True honor is like when throughout the city, when you¡¯re presented with tasks, you¡¯re rushing to help others in need without expecting a thank-you; those kinds accumulate real reputation. The reality of your reputation affects what kind of hidden tasks you can get. The same process, seemingly the same amount of reputation, the same NPCs, but while some players could undertake the tasks, others couldn¡¯t. Hence, this game makes it hard to have a fixed strategy guide, but whatever the reputation type, it must be high to access high-end tasks, like the epic quest Mr. Da Fei is currently undertaking. Speaking of which, Mr. Da Fei gained an ¡°Admiration¡± reputation from the Desolate Barbarian Pirates, which undoubtedly is a genuine admiration emanating from the heart, despite the pirates still being unfriendly towards Mr. Da Fei. Gaining an enemy¡¯s admiration is no small feat. Mr. Da Fei, along with Katerina, reached the city¡¯s Teleportation Array. The array could only teleport heroes and vice heroes, leaving all troops behind. The teleportation cost is the hero level multiplied by 10. ¨CSystem Prompt: You are teleporting two heroes, it will cost 550 Gold Coins, do you wish to proceed? 550 Gold Coins, that¡¯s 1000 for a round trip, genuinely not something a new player could afford. The scene changed, and Mr. Da Fei appeared at Saint Paul Port, where, according to the diary, the Saint Anthony set sail. Mr. Da Fei once again browsed through the diary, finding the page that mentioned the girl was sent to the Monastery to be raised, and she seemed to have a habit of watching the sea, waiting for her father to return. However, that was when she was 10¨Cthe incident with Saint Anthony had now been made public; will she continue to watch the sea knowing what has happened? Never mind, let¡¯s first go check the pier. Saint Paul Port, the largest port of the Lionheart Empire, was bustling with activity, its prosperity immensely surpassing that of Elorin City. That was normal, the population of the Elf Kingdom just couldn¡¯t compare to that of humans, not even close. No need to say, Mr. Da Fei, a renowned Yellow name, suddenly appearing with a beautiful Vice Hero instantly attracted a crowd of players, many of whom were new players. ¡°Big bro, give me some money, I¡¯m new here!¡± ¡°I¡¯m new too! Go away!¡± Clearly, the players in this city were still relatively normal; they were just gathering around to beg, nothing as hypocritical as in Elorin City. Knowing that Brother Xie had turned those tycoons upside down and caused their Gold Coins to dry up, relieving many common merchants of the pressure to hoard, they couldn¡¯t thank him enough in their hearts. So, while strolling along, Da Fei was followed by players that were a pain in the neck, and he arrived at the docks. From one end to the other, he couldn¡¯t spot anyone resembling a Nun Priest. Da Fei then asked a drunken old sailor at the dock: ¡°Excuse me, is there a 15-year-old nun named Selvia here?¡± The old man burst into laughter: ¡°A nun isn¡¯t a prostitute, why would she come here!¡± Never mind, asking about people is probably more reliable in a tavern. Saint Paul, being the largest human port, surely wouldn¡¯t have fewer taverns than Pirate Island. Da Fei entered the nearest tavern, which was bustling with players. Needless to say, this was the legendary ¡°headhunter¡± spot¨Cof course, not about chopping off heads, but seeking high-quality hero talents in taverns and selling their information. After all, heroes sitting in taverns waiting to be employed don¡¯t reveal their attributes to players initially; it¡¯s only after drinking with them and gaining their favor that their attributes are disclosed, a cumbersome process. Naturally, there are professional players who engage in this. As soon as the Yellow name Da Fei, who was accompanied by a beautiful Vice Hero, entered the tavern, headhunter players let out gasps of shock, and then the players, upon seeing that it¡¯s the legendary Da Fei, were even more amazed. Ah, the so-called sense of achievement for men is indeed nothing more than showing off fame and women. Da Fei directly sat at the bar, ordered the most expensive drink for his beloved gem, and asked, ¡°Boss, have you seen a 15-year-old nun named Selvia? She used to come here to watch the sea 5 years ago.¡± The owner laughed: ¡°Sir, don¡¯t you know that nuns have the strictest rules? They can hardly even get out of their doors, let alone come to such a messy place.¡± Da Fei asked in surprise, ¡°So you haven¡¯t seen her?¡± The boss shook his head: ¡°To see nuns, you should go to the Holy Mother Monastery in the suburbs, but that¡¯s definitely not a place especially for men to visit.¡± Could it be? There are such restrictions? If Selvia really is a hero, then these restrictions seem like a tough challenge set by the system. Just then, a few headhunter players approached with eager smiles: ¡°You must be the legendary Brother Fei. We¡¯ve spotted a few decent heroes here, are you interested in taking a look?¡± Damn! How could any decent heroes compare to the beautiful Nun Hero that the general public can¡¯t even meet at the monastery? But then again, we¡¯re not sure if she¡¯s actually a hero or just a regular NPC. Whatever, let¡¯s see what they call decent heroes. Da Fei asked, ¡°Is their Command Power high?¡± One player immediately answered, ¡°Boss, come and see for yourself.¡± Alright, that¡¯s the headhunter¡¯s rule. Business secrets, huh. Da Fei followed him to a table where he came face to face with a hero who had a burly build, a full beard, and a scarred face. Good grief! How could Brother Fei use this kind of person? Catherine couldn¡¯t help exclaiming, ¡°Wow!¡± ¡ª Damn! Did you meet your dad or what? Da Fei turned around and left without another word. The headhunter player exclaimed, ¡°Boss?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only That hero suddenly lunged forward and grabbed Da Fei¡¯s leg: ¡°Tycoon! Let¡¯s be friends!¡± Da Fei¡¯s skin crawled, and he kicked fiercely: ¡°Go away!¡± The crowd was thunderstruck! It was apparently the first time seeing a hero so eager to volunteer to join a player. Is this the legendary Brother Fei? (Vote for all kinds of tickets!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Chapter 60: Successful Meeting with Makar Chapter 63: Chapter 60: Successful Meeting with Makar By dusk, Da Fei¡¯s hired carriage arrived at the station of Holy Mother Monastery in the suburbs, seeing from afar a vast cluster of buildings surrounded by high walls, towering and imposing. The sonorous chanting of holy songs drifted from a distance. Catherine exclaimed in rapture, ¡°How sacred, how majestic!¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°I feel like it¡¯s more like a prison.¡± Dressed in ceremonial uniforms, smarter than ever, the two approached the gate where an old nun, hunched and clad in black robes with a black veil on her head, was sweeping the floor and barred their way. She said grimly, ¡°Stop right there, this is not a place for you to intrude.¡± Looking at her witch-like face marked by scowls, and that broom that seemed to fly, Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat¨C ¡°Your Majesty, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake?¡± Da Fei snapped back to reality in a trance: ¡°I¡¯m here to find someone named¨C¡± The old nun cut him off directly: ¡°Go back. Those who come here dedicate their entire body and soul to the divine and have no ties with the earthly world!¡± Da Fei didn¡¯t give up, ¡°I have her father¡¯s relics! I need to give them to¨C¡± The old nun, losing patience, waved her hand and with a flash of white light beneath their feet, the scene changed, and they found themselves back at the station waiting for the carriage. For a moment, both were stunned, facing each other. Damn it, Nanny Rong level sweeping nun! What kind of terrifying being is this? And they didn¡¯t even allow players to argue at all. It seems that the tavern owner was right; this is indeed no place for commoners. Force our way in? Stealth in? Heh¡­ Da Fei could only shake his head and sigh, ¡°Let¡¯s go back; I¡¯ll take you to the most luxurious hotel.¡± Catherine chuckled, ¡°Okay, Captain!¡± It seems that this piece of information from the diary is really not simple. Is this message just a boring narrative? Just like those gambling debts that the Artillery Commander records daily, meaningless? No no no, impossible! This is a living person! Even if the Artillery Commander is boring, he still recorded information about super creatures like the Leviathan, right? But the current situation is clearly beyond what I can handle. What to do? Do I really have to give my Vice Hero spot to that shabby-bearded guy? Damn it! If all else fails, just bear with it. Success or failure, as soon as the task is over, I¡¯ll immediately roll up their mat and kick them out without explanation. As for the next step, right, I was already prepared when I was at sea to look for Makar as soon as I landed. Let¡¯s go to Makar when day breaks, that risk must be taken. If I could blindly acquire the Phantom Crossbow Cannon from him, this time my underground sea journey would be invigorated. And isn¡¯t he the greatest navigator of this century? I wonder if he could give some advice to a newbie like me? After the two returned to the city and finished their lodging arrangements, Da Fei went offline to take care of his human needs, and when he logged in again, a new day in the game had begun. Find Makar. It¡¯s impossible for Saint Paul Port, the largest seaport of the Lionheart Empire, not to have a residence or office for Makar, the world¡¯s greatest navigator. The guard at the door blocked Da Fei: ¡°Stay put, this is not a place you can enter!¡± Are you a Nanny Rong that won¡¯t even let me finish my sentence, you think a mere soldier can stop me? I don¡¯t believe it. Da Fei took out Makar¡¯s Skill Book of darkness: ¡°I am Duke Makar¡¯s student, I have the right to see the Duke!¡± Sure enough, upon seeing the book, the guard¡¯s demeanor changed dramatically, immediately turned and shouted, ¡°Butler, someone is looking for the Lord!¡± Ha ha ha ha! I knew it. Normally, the player who completes the trial must use this book as a stepping stone, how could they not be permitted to see the Duke? A butler in a tailcoat and curly hair wig appeared: ¡°Who are you?¡± Da Fei proudly waved the Skill Book in his hand: ¡°I am the Duke¡¯s student, I have an important item from the Duke, I request to see the Duke.¡± The butler asked doubtfully, ¡°Student? Where did you get this from?¡± Da Fei spoke the truth: ¡°I found it on the ship of Saint Anthony, which the Duke once explored. It contains important insights from the Duke, and I must return it to him.¡± The butler nodded, ¡°Please follow me.¡± Success! Then, through halls and chambers, plus a teleportation, the scene changed, and Da Fei appeared in a magnificent and solemn circular library, where various magic energy glittered and flowed among the several-story-high bookshelves, highlighting the boundless magic power of its owner. The butler spoke gravely, ¡°The Duke is very busy and rarely receives guests, state your business concisely.¡± Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Oh, I understand, I understand.¡± ¡°Please wait a moment.¡± After the butler left, Da Fei started to get nervous. He had accepted the epic quest to oppose him, and who knows what would happen upon meeting him. In any case, anything related to the Sailing Captain was off the table for discussion. He didn¡¯t know anything about it, never saw anything, humph. Soon, accompanied by the butler, an old man with a white beard appeared, clad in a red mage¡¯s robe with gold trimmings, holding a staff adorned with a shining gemstone, surrounded by several colorful magic balls. A golden Hero Aura beneath his feet testified that he was a Priest Hero! He laughed and said, ¡°I don¡¯t remember taking any students, though?¡± His voice was serene and calm; his smile was kind and friendly, and the magic energy specks throughout the hall intertwined into a magnificent and brilliant pattern due to his presence. Holy crap, a Death Lord playing his role to such an extent is quite something. The first impression he gives is definitely Santa Claus! No wonder the Artillery Commander admires him so much. Well then, I¡¯ve got to make a good first impression too, right? Flattering NPCs? I¡¯ve never blushed when it comes to that. Da Fei quickly made a bow and said, ¡°Please forgive my presumption. I have an urgent matter that I must discuss with Duke, so I claimed to be the Duke¡¯s student, but I have indeed gained enlightenment and inspiration from the Duke¡¯s notes. In my heart, the wisdom of Duke is already a guiding light for me. Moreover, from the diary of the Artillery Commander, I have been thoroughly impressed by Duke¡¯s demeanor, and I will always regard Duke as my mentor in life!¡± Then, he presented the Dark Skill Book, the diary of the Artillery Commander, and the Soul Crystal of the ghost he had killed. The butler stepped forward, took the items, and handed them to the Duke. The Duke was taken aback: ¡°Are these from the shipwrecked Saint Anthony?¡± Da Fei respectfully said: ¡°Indeed.¡± The Duke, while quickly flipping through the books, said with deep emotion: ¡°These must have been lost during that great battle. It was a voyage I will never forget. Our Saint Anthony went through countless tribulations and witnessed many miracles. We were on the verge of a triumphant return, but in the end, we fell victim to a double assault from the enemy and a storm. We were stranded on a desert island, surrounded by the enemy¡¯s Curse Barrier, and we fought to the very last moment. Under Captain Renior¡¯s cover, I became the sole survivor and managed to hold out for the rescue team. The curse barrier left by the enemy on the island makes it difficult for the strong to enter, and thus recovering the Saint Anthony was never completed. I never imagined that after so many years, a young warrior would successfully complete such a task; this is truly remarkable!¡± Da Fei laughed and said, ¡°Duke, you flatter me.¡± It looks like it¡¯s a success? The Duke looked up, stared into Da Fei¡¯s eyes, and asked with a kind smile: ¡°Is that Captain Renior¡¯s coat you¡¯re wearing?¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened¨Cspeaking of success was perhaps too soon; now was probably the most critical moment, right? Honesty is an important quality in life, but so is lying as an important social tactic. So, in this situation, of course, it¡¯s 99% honesty with 1% lie! Da Fei then said: ¡°Yes. I encountered Captain Renior, who was tormented by a curse, in the lowest deck of the ship. He asked for my help to lift the curse. After completing the task, he gave me the ship and his clothes. I also successfully comprehended the Navigator profession from the Sailing Skill Book he left behind.¡± Humph, if no remains of the Sailing Captain were found, that would have been the standard quest procedure, right? I wonder what you would think if you found out that a player has destroyed the barrier you set up? The Duke nodded and laughed: ¡°Renior was a truly remarkable Navigator. You¡¯ve comprehended the Navigator from him, so you are unquestionably his student, and since Renior is also a dear mentor and friend of mine, you can also be considered my student.¡± ¡ª- System Prompt: You have obtained the achievement ¡°Great Mage Makar¡¯s Student,¡± your Alliance Reputation +5000! It¡¯s done! My undercover screw-over has really worked! The epic quest from Juan did not interfere! That¡¯s right, the task hint said, as long as his diary is handed over, the world would change; as long as the diary isn¡¯t exposed, there will be no trouble, haha, wahahaha! Da Fei, ecstatically performing the gesture of paying respect to a teacher, bowed deeply from the waist to the knee: ¡°Thank you, teacher, for your guidance! Being your student is an honor of a lifetime!¡± Duke Makar laughed heartily: ¡°It¡¯s primarily because you are outstanding and full of potential. However, as a teacher, I feel ashamed that I can¡¯t teach you much. But, it just so happens that I have some insights about the Navigator profession that I can give you as a welcome gift.¡± With that, he waved his hand, and a glowing golden booklet appeared out of thin air. ¡ª- System Prompt: Duke Makar has gifted you ¡°Navigator Promotion Insights Notes.¡± ¡ª- Navigator Promotion Insights Notes: Using this item and spending one Skill Point will increase your Navigator Profession Level to ¡°Intermediate Navigator¡±! Da Fei suddenly felt overjoyed; sure enough, he had been taught a trick! Upgrading the Navigator status must be achieved this way. I¡¯ve got the Navigator now, how far can the Phantom Crossbow Cannon be? Duke Makar shook his head and said with a smile: ¡°I am just an accompanying Mage focusing on Spell research, but I have been named as the greatest Navigator in the world, which is an honor I feel I haven¡¯t quite earned. If you want to further elevate your level, you¡¯ll have to meet more Navigators.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei nodded repeatedly: ¡°Your humility is a role model for us all! Actually, I came to learn about the Phantom Crossbow Cannon mentioned in the Artillery Commander¡¯s diary.¡± Humph, since you¡¯re a hypocritically righteous old man, I won¡¯t fault you for pretending; if I have a request, I¡¯ll boldly make it. Duke Makar was taken aback, then shook his head, laughing heartily: ¡°That was just something I thought of as a game; it¡¯s not practical at all. Not only is it expensive to make, but once damaged in battle, there¡¯s no replacement for parts¨C it would be a public embarrassment, let¡¯s not mention it again, as it could tarnish my reputation.¡± Da Fei stood there, stunned. Really? Rejected so matter-of-factly? Could it be that the Artillery Commander¡¯s diary is just for show with no real use? Impossible, there must be a quest to gain his trust or something, right? (Vote for all kinds) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 64 - Chapter 64: Chapter 61 Makars Conspiracy Chapter 64: Chapter 61 Makar¡¯s Conspiracy At this moment, Makar took another look at the Soul Crystal in his hand, nodding, ¡°This thing seems interesting, I need some time to thoroughly research it. Let¡¯s meet next time we¡¯re both free.¡± The butler stepped forward, ¡°Sir, please!¡± Damn, is he showing me out now? Without the Phantom Crossbow Cannon, my journey to Earth Sea seems sketchy! How would I know when you¡¯re next free? Meeting important characters in this game is not child¡¯s play, you meet by either completing quests, or through special items and events, otherwise the guards will politely say, ¡°The lord is very busy, please come again next time if it¡¯s important.¡± In a flash, Da Fei¡¯s mind raced. Where else could I get a special item to meet him? Clearly, there are no more items, but isn¡¯t there an event? Makar, as a Death Lord, has been hiding in the Human World for so many years, what is he plotting? Nothing other than ruling the world, I guess? Relying on force isn¡¯t reasonable, so winning hearts and forming alliances seems to be the right way. If that¡¯s the case¨C Da Fei quickly said, ¡°Teacher, actually, I have taken on a significant mission from the Elf Kingdom to save the World Tree and purify the Pool of Purifying Light. The Elf Kingdom has also decided to spare no effort in supporting me with materials and expensive specialized equipment like Wind Magic Array sailcloth, so I thought of the Phantom Crossbow Cannon, such a genius piece of equipment fits the bill for specialized equipment, right? As long as it plays a key role at the critical moment. I¡¯m currently your student, if I succeed in saving the World Tree, you¡¯ll also get the credit, Teacher! You would be the great hero behind the scenes in the Alliance!¡± Isn¡¯t the Elf Kingdom worth appealing to? Even if you, as the Death Lord, might reluctantly not want to help the Elf Kingdom, but you are still a Duke of the Alliance, you have to look the part, even if it¡¯s tiring, I¡¯m not afraid of troubling you. Indeed, Makar was a bit startled, ¡°Save the World Tree? You are the person chosen by the Elf Kingdom?¡± Haha! He knows about this too? Well, of course, as a Duke, he can¡¯t be clueless about such a major event in a neighboring country. Da Fei hurriedly bowed, ¡°I am not talented, but I am the one recommended by the Elf Kingdom from Elorin City. In 9 days, I will head underground! My vessel is Saint Anthony, gifted to me by Captain Renior.¡± Makar mused, ¡°So it is. At this stage, there aren¡¯t many young people who can take on such a daunting task, and indeed, you are the perfect candidate.¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Thank you for the compliment, Teacher.¡± Makar sighed, ¡°However, this matter is not so simple.¡± Nonsense, an epic quest is definitely not simple! Otherwise, why would I be seeking your help? Da Fei quickly replied, ¡°No matter how tough, I will give it my all.¡± Makar shook his head, sighing, ¡°The Elf Kingdom is thinking too simply. They thought the contamination of the Pool of Purifying Light is just scattered Demons, thinking sending down a Warrior would solve it. Actually, once you go down, you may face a siege supported by Demons from various planes.¡± What does he mean by various planes? Damn, whatever number of planes, I¡¯ve already accepted the quest, so no backing out now! Da Fei hurried, ¡°Really? Then, Teacher, you have to help me even more!¡± Even though it¡¯s our first meeting, and the trust and friendliness might be at zero with this cheap mentor-apprentice relation, it doesn¡¯t stop me from climbing along the pole! Makar sighed, ¡°Our Bright Alliance is interconnected, sharing both prosperities and losses. We can¡¯t stand by when an ally is in trouble!¡± Got it! Da Fei joyfully said, ¡°Thank you, Teacher!¡± Makar chuckled, ¡°However, you might not know about the temperament of the Elves; they are high and mighty, hold grudges, and are particularly conscious of their dignity. Actually, I am burdened by the false reputation of being the First Mage, and over the years, I indeed had some displeasures with them. So I don¡¯t want them to know that I helped them from behind, lest they think I¡¯m looking down on them, causing good deeds to offend.¡± Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Teacher, with your noble character and magnanimity, there¡¯s no need to stoop to their level; let me handle anything that arises!¡± Makar chuckled, ¡°What difficulties do you currently have? Let me see if I can help.¡± Hahaha, it was bound to come! Da Fei ecstatically said, ¡°Teacher, I need a Phantom Crossbow Cannon! I need Command Power! I need a powerful female Vice Hero!¡± Makar coughed and waved his hand, ¡°Young man¡­ The Phantom Crossbow Cannon is no problem, come to me after 8 days, and I will assemble all the materials to make one in these 8 days, but you have to return it to me after use, this kind of weapon cannot remain in the current world. Command Power is also not a problem, take my letter and immediately report to the Navy Headquarters in the city, I appoint you as an Intern Naval Lieutenant, which will temporarily increase your Command Power by 100. Once the mission is finished, the internship period will end, but if your performance in this mission is good, I might consider promoting you to a regular officer. As for the rest, I am powerless.¡± Hahaha! I nailed it! Though it¡¯s temporary but aren¡¯t bullets and bombs also temporary? Weapons only show their value when used, are they for breeding? But hey old man, you can handle the Crossbow Cannon and the officer position, a few beautiful Vice Heroes too tough for you? I need to dig into your potential! Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Teacher, my team needs a Nun Hero for healing, I want to select a Nun Hero from the Holy Mother Monastery outside the city to campaign with us!¡± Makar glanced at Catherine beside Da Fei, then frowned, ¡°There are many heroes capable of healing, young man, you should not indulge in women.¡± Da Fei panicked, ¡°Teacher misunderstood, my fear of being misunderstood for indulging in women is precisely why I specifically chose to employ a chaste Nun to clarify the air!¡± Makar looked displeased, ¡°You could hire male Priests!¡± Damn! The old man is too tired to play nice! But I¡¯ve come this far, I¡¯ll not back down no matter what, clearly the old man needs me now and won¡¯t turn hostile. Da Fei urgently said, ¡°Men aren¡¯t great at healing and can¡¯t provide meticulous care for sailors, especially mentally. Teacher, you¡¯re a navigator, you understand, it¡¯ll lower morale¨C¡± Makar retorted, ¡°Nonsense!¡± Da Fei urgently added, ¡°Teacher, mainly I fear employing a male priest might lead to misunderstandings about an unusual sexual orientation, which would shame you!¡± Makar snapped, ¡°What does that have to do with me?¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°Could it be that even you can¡¯t make arrangements with the Holy Mother Monastery?¡± Makar let out a long sigh, ¡°The monastery is a church institution, it owes no one any favors. I¡¯m writing you a letter of introduction. When you join the Military Department, also visit Logistics Officer Lady Tabia. She¡¯s from the church; ask her to take you to the monastery. If all else fails, have her recommend some military priests to accompany you.¡± Da Fei nodded in understanding. Got it, the old man is afraid of being rejected and losing face too. Seems like this monastery is really something, huh? The stricter they are, the more I want to get in. The more they cover up, the more I want to strip it all back. Speaking of stripping, Da Fei suddenly thought of Nanny Rong, and shuddered. With a wave of his hand, Makar completed a magic book letter, flicking it into Da Fei¡¯s hands: ¡°Off you go now.¡± Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Yes! I¡¯ll go right away.¡± As he was turning to leave, Da Fei suddenly remembered something, urgently saying: ¡°Teacher!¡± Makar¡¯s beard twitched: ¡°What now?¡± Da Fei smirked, ¡°Teacher, I haven¡¯t changed my profession yet, do you have any powerful hidden professions to recommend to me¨C¡± Makar clapped his hands: ¡°Riel, see him out!¡± The butler stepped forward promptly, ¡°Sir, this way please!¡± Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Hey hey!¡± With a flash of white light and a change of scene, Da Fei was back at the Saint Paul Office¡¯s teleportation array. Damn it, old man, you don¡¯t play fair! Too unkind, too lacking in integrity, right? But, I¡¯ve pretty much sorted this matter halfway already. With the Phantom Crossbow Cannon, who needs to walk straight fearing an epic quest? I¡¯m using an NPC from one epic quest to solve another, a tactic of fighting poison with poison and using stones from other hills to polish my own gems. Why am I so awesome? Because I am awesome! Wahahaha! As he stepped out the door, a few players whispered secretly outside: ¡°He¡¯s out!¡± ¡°His name has started turning white!¡± Damn! I¡¯m starting to enjoy the paparazzi treatment, huh? Alright, alright, keep following, I¡¯ll blind your bosses with their in-app purchase money, haha, wahahahaha! ¡­ Makar Library. A golden bat descended from the sky, transforming into a middle-aged butler in a tailcoat as it landed: ¡°Please give your orders, sir.¡± Makar said solemnly, ¡°Infiltrate the Elf Kingdom, spread rumors in the black market there claiming that the Elf Kingdom has dispatched a Super Hero to the Pool of Radiance, intending not just to cleanse the contamination but also to seize the opportunity to attack the Abyss Blood Pool. Also, leak the location of the Abyss Blood Pool; this news will surely reach both the Elves and the Demons.¡± The butler asked in surprise, ¡°Sir, why betray your own team?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Makar shook his head and chuckled, ¡°The demons are expanding their territory too aggressively in the New World, I want to divert their attention a bit. Moreover, I¡¯d like to test my new student. He¡¯s insatiably greedy; his ambition might just provoke the demons from all planes into action.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Makar then took out that Soul Crystal, nodded satisfactorily, and disappeared with a turn. (Seeking all kinds of support votes) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 65 - Chapter 65: Chapter 62: Infiltrating the Monastery Plan Chapter 65: Chapter 62: Infiltrating the Monastery Plan Followed by the paparazzi all the way, Da Fei swaggered into Saint Paul Navy Headquarters, casually waving the letter of recommendation. The guards immediately let him through. The paparazzi couldn¡¯t help but exclaim: ¡°Just came out from Duke Mansion and now he can enter the Military Department? That¡¯s freaking incredible, isn¡¯t it?¡± Ha-ha-ha-ha! See that? That¡¯s how freaking incredible I am! You wanna mess with me? Welcome, you¡¯re bound to become the top ten youth director of the poverty alleviation office. ¡°Stop! No loiterers allowed in!¡± Huh? Da Fei, astonished, turned to look and sure enough, it was Catherine being stopped by the guards. So there¡¯s this annoying rule, huh? Da Fei had no choice but to tell his likewise baffled sweetheart: ¡°Wait for me at the hotel.¡± Catherine chuckled: ¡°Okay, Captain.¡± Hmph, as if I¡¯d give you paparazzi the chance to harass my sweetheart. Wait for me at the hotel, I can finally utter such a cool line, haha. Guided by the guard, Da Fei arrived at the officer registration desk. Behind the big desk, a fat military officer with an arrogant demeanor was slouching as he looked down his nose at Da Fei, snorted and asked: ¡°Which unit are you from?¡± Da Fei took out the letter and handed it over: ¡°I was recommended by a noble person.¡± The officer snorted coldly, grabbed the letter, tearing open the seal, and said sharply: ¡°I don¡¯t care who recommended you, once you¡¯re here, you better obey, otherwise, you will experience the ruthlessness of military law¨C¡± The fat officer¡¯s voice suddenly stopped as he stared at the letter for a while, then at Da Fei, also for quite some time. Da Fei laughed coldly in his heart, are you scared by the backer behind me? Acting all high and mighty like a king, why don¡¯t you come shine my shoes? The feeling of clinging to power is just too damn good! Ha-ha-ha-ha! ¡°Hmph!¡± The officer gave a cold snort, sat up straight and said solemnly: ¡°From now on, you¡¯re a registered probationary Lieutenant. In any case, you know your own background very well, and should therefore be even stricter with yourself. Don¡¯t disgrace or tarnish the wisdom of that noble person, otherwise¨Csevere military law awaits!¡± No sooner had he finished than he threw a shoulder rank insignia onto the desk with a slap. Da Fei was startled! Not only did you not shine my shoes but now you¡¯re giving me a hard time, are you like one of those sly old soldiers? Never mind, I¡¯m an extra-official personnel anyway, won¡¯t lower myself to his level. Da Fei hee-heed: ¡°The nobleman is right¨C¡± The fat officer shouted loudly: ¡°No giggling with me! Address me as your superior! You better get it clear, this is the military!¡± What the heck, why so pretentious! Da Fei raised his hand to salute: ¡°Yes! Sir!¡± ¡°Idiot! It¡¯s the other hand!¡± For crying out loud! Da Fei could only switch hands: ¡°Yes! Sir!¡± Damn it all to hell! Get regular? What¡¯s regular anyway, I¡¯d rather be a pirate and feed this fat pig to the turtles than be your damn regular army! Deliberately annoying players, right? But, it would be another story if you made me the commander directly. The fat officer then, at peace, said: ¡°You have a noble person¡¯s mission, take the military rank and get busy.¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have obtained the probationary Lieutenant rank in the Bright Alliance Navy, your Command Power temporarily increased by +100. ¡ª-Beginner¡¯s Prompt: Ranks and official positions can greatly enhance your Command Power. However, the Command Power provided by ranks and official positions are fixed values and are not influenced by your Hero profession, Leadership Skill, or any artifacts. Da Fei continued to salute: ¡°Reporting to the Sir, I am looking for Logistics Officer, Lady Tabia.¡± The fat officer was taken aback: ¡°Logistics officer? Lady? Is there such a person?¡± Then, laughing suddenly: ¡°Go find her in the mess hall yourself.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± Guided by the guards, Da Fei arrived at the Military Department¡¯s backyard, and amongst a pile of people busy butchering pigs, washing vegetables, chopping wood, he found Lady Tabia, whom Makar mentioned. And upon seeing her, he was shocked! Oh my gosh! I originally thought it would be a beautiful Holy Knight or a beautiful Priestess, but it turned out to be a plump dwarf lady! No, a female dwarf lady! What the heck, with all the commanding and gesticulating, it¡¯s obviously a Chief Cook, right? This is the Logistics Officer that Makar was talking about? But how could someone as important as Makar know about such a minor character? Could this lady be really strong? There¡¯s no halo around her feet, she looks like a common NPC and not even a Hero, right? ¡°Tabia, someone¡¯s looking for you!¡± The dwarf lady turned impatiently: ¡°Speak up, I¡¯m busy!¡± Da Fei took out the letter: ¡°I¡¯ve been sent by a noble person.¡± ¡°Which noble person!¡± The dwarf lady impatiently snatched the letter, and all of a sudden, her barrel-like body shook tremendously! That expression, the tears welling up in her eyes¨Choly cow! Old man, what¡¯s with your taste? The dwarf lady came to her senses and waved a hand: ¡°To the storage room!¡± In the storeroom piled with food, the Dwarf Lady asked with a trembling voice, ¡°Does that respected person have any orders?¡± Ah, is there really a need to be so excited? I¡¯m not interested in gossiping about the Dwarf Lady; let¡¯s get straight to business. Da Fei then said, ¡°The respected person asked you to help me get into the Holy Mother Monastery to find a Nun Hero.¡± The Dwarf Lady was taken aback, ¡°Get you into the Holy Mother Monastery? Impossible! Not a single man has been able to enter since the monastery was established six hundred years ago, not even the Emperor!¡± Da Fei was shocked, ¡°Ah? But the respected person said you were from the church?¡± The Dwarf Lady sighed, ¡°When I was young, I was rescued from a shipwreck by a kind person, who then sent me to grow up in the monastery, and after that, I was assigned to work here. My duty is to deliver vegetables to the monastery, how could I possibly fulfill the respected person¡¯s commission¡­¡± Her voice choked up as she spoke, ¡°I, I am really too useless, without even the ability to repay the respected person¡­¡± Hey hey hey, don¡¯t cry, it¡¯s not the old man¡¯s fault, it¡¯s just my curiosity! For a moment, Da Fei hesitated, thinking that the old man was really unreliable. He¡¯s such a high-ranking official and yet he asked a Dwarf Lady for help with something he couldn¡¯t handle? ¡ª Wait a minute! Delivering vegetables? Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat; perhaps the old man meant to sneak in while delivering vegetables? Damn! This is the only way, isn¡¯t it? When the high-end route is completely blocked, it¡¯s time for some underhanded tactics! Da Fei asked hurriedly, ¡°How do you deliver the vegetables?¡± The Dwarf Lady said, ¡°A horse cart every day, there are over a thousand people in the monastery.¡± A horse cart, huh! I see! Da Fei chuckled, ¡°I have a way now, you can sneak me in with the vegetables.¡± The Dwarf Lady was astonished, ¡°But they do check thoroughly, especially that Yumina who guards the gate, she checks even under the cart every time.¡± Da Fei was startled, ¡°Yumina, are you talking about that old gatekeeper lady?¡± The Dwarf Lady, shocked, quickly gestured with her hands, ¡°She is the thirty-sixth Saintess, with immense mana, the whole Bright Alliance can hardly find such powerful people, and it¡¯s even rumored that the respected person might not be her match!¡± ¡ª Ah choo! Nanny Rong is actually a Saintess! The image of a saintess instantly crumbled in Da Fei¡¯s heart! Da Fei calmed his mind, ¡°I have Master-level Reconnaissance Skill, and I can learn the disguise skill right away, that should work, right?¡± The Dwarf Lady couldn¡¯t help but be surprised, ¡°Master-level? No wonder you were sent by the respected person.¡± Then she frowned, ¡°But even with Master-level, in such a small cart¨Canyway, at that time I will argue with her to distract her attention, hoping to get through.¡± Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°That sounds great!¡± The Dwarf Lady continued, ¡°Once you¡¯ve successfully infiltrated, you must find a way to hide and not run around. I won¡¯t be in the canteen for long, and you mustn¡¯t wander around. However, during unloading, there will be nuns on shift to help, so we can only look for someone among the helping nuns. It¡¯s not a one or two-day job; you must be prepared to hide for a few days, anyhow I will come every day.¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°Understood.¡± With my Master-level Reconnaissance Skill, how many in the world can reach my level? The Dwarf Lady nodded, ¡°I grew up doing chores in the monastery¡¯s canteen, I basically know all the nuns. What¡¯s the name of the person you¡¯re looking for?¡± They all know each other, which is good, Da Fei happily said, ¡°She¡¯s called Selvia!¡± The Dwarf Lady paused, then shook her head, ¡°There¡¯s no such person!¡± No way? Could the diary actually be bullshitting? Da Fei exclaimed in shock, ¡°How could she not exist?¡± The Dwarf Lady shook her head, ¡°A nun wouldn¡¯t use that name. Perhaps she used to be called that, but upon entering the monastery, she would have to change it, to something like ¡®na,¡¯ ¡®sha,¡¯ ¡®er,¡¯ and other names commonly used by angels.¡± Damn it, this is like being a thief, and now even the name is unknown. How difficult is this going to be? It¡¯s practically going to drive me nuts. Let¡¯s not talk about whether the diary is reliable. Even if she¡¯s a hero, how capable can a 15-year-old girl be? Is it worth all this trouble? Well, it¡¯s worth it since I¡¯m idle anyway. What else can I do but put myself through this trouble? Da Fei then took out a flute, ¡°This might be the only token, she might recognize it!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Dwarf Lady nodded, ¡°I see, alright, leave it to me, I¡¯ll make sure she sees it. So, get ready, I¡¯m going to deliver the vegetables right away.¡± ¡°No problem!¡± Da Fei took out the Reconnaissance Skill Book and a flash of golden light. ¡ª System Prompt: You have spent 1 Skill Point to learn the Reconnaissance Skill sub-skill ¡°Disguise.¡± (Please vote for all kinds) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: Chapter 63: An Encounter with Bloodrose Studio Chapter 66: Chapter 63: An Encounter with Bloodrose Studio At dusk, a burly dwarf woman drove a delivery wagon to the Holy Mother Monastery. Da Fei, draped in a sack, blended in amidst a load of vegetables. The wagon came to a halt and Da Fei heard the gatekeeper, Nanny Rong¡¯s somber voice, ¡°Why are you so late?¡± The delay was, of course, to cover Da Fei¡¯s stealth. Otherwise, even Master-level stealth disguise couldn¡¯t pass unnoticed under watchful eyes. However, it couldn¡¯t be too late either, as that would arouse more suspicion and make exposure easier. The dwarf woman snapped, ¡°The vegetable boat was late.¡± Nanny Rong gave a cold snort, then began her routine dirt sweeping under the wagon with her broom. The monastery¡¯s rule was not to let the filth of the secular world into the holy sanctuary, but really, it was a checkpoint. Feeling the rhythmic tapping of the broom, Da Fei¡¯s heart leaped into his throat. Success or failure hinged on this moment. If this first gate couldn¡¯t be passed, all the plans afterward would be for naught. Suddenly, Nanny Rong raised her triangular eyelids, bursting with eyes as sharp as a hawk¡¯s! With a bang, the broom struck the carriage, causing it to shake! ¡°What is this!!?¡± Nanny Rong¡¯s shrill voice rang out! Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened within the vegetable pile. ¡°What is it?¡± the dwarf woman retorted impatiently. Nanny Rong, agitated, said, ¡°Don¡¯t think I can¡¯t see the rotten potatoes hidden among the good ones! You greedy female dwarf, you must have embezzled food funds!¡± The dwarf woman raged, ¡°Nonsense! Where are the rotten potatoes!¡± Nanny Rong unearthed several large potatoes and grabbed a few small ones, ¡°Is this it? Don¡¯t think you can slip by because it¡¯s getting dark!¡± The dwarf woman stood abruptly on the carriage seat, one hand on her hip, the other pointing angrily at Nanny Rong, ¡°Old hag, open your rat eyes and see clearly, these are small potatoes, not rotten ones! They¡¯re meant for soup!¡± Nanny Rong retorted angrily, ¡°Small potatoes are rotten potatoes! They aren¡¯t even ripe!¡± ¡°Have you ever seen 6 copper per pound rotten potatoes?¡± ¡°Nonsense, bring the bill, let me see! Clearly, you¡¯ve swapped in inferior goods and embezzled the food funds!¡± ¡°Mind your own business, as if you have the right to look at the bill!¡± Their quarrel quickly drew out a group of nuns from the courtyard, who emerged to mediate, ¡°Come on, come on, delivering vegetables is important.¡± The dwarf woman raged, ¡°I won¡¯t leave until this is cleared up! Without evidence, why accuse me of embezzling food funds!¡± Nanny Rong fumed, ¡°Just because you have a guilty conscience, I can see right through you and know you¡¯re up to no good today!¡± The dwarf woman gave the wagon a fierce kick in anger, ¡°Nonsense! If you say I¡¯m up to no good then I am, why don¡¯t you become a judge!¡± Nanny Rong retorted angrily, ¡°The more you shout, the more guilty you are!¡± Everyone chimed in, ¡°Alright, alright! Stop arguing¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just leave it at that! Go inside quickly!¡± The dwarf woman sobbed and wailed, ¡°I can¡¯t leave it! I won¡¯t go inside! She accuses me of embezzling food without evidence!¡± Nanny Rong demanded angrily, ¡°What do you want?¡± ¡°Apologize!¡± Nanny Rong shrieked, ¡°I have never apologized to anyone in my entire life!¡± ¡­ ¡°A complete disgrace! Everyone, to your places!¡± A commanding voice rang from the main gate, seemingly alarming someone important. With that, Nanny Rong gave a cold snort and turned away, the dwarf woman wiped her tears and drove straight into the back courtyard without a word, and everyone dispersed. Buried under the pile of vegetables drenched in cold sweat, Da Fei finally let out a long sigh of relief. The incredibly challenging first gate had finally been passed. The crone snapping at the dwarf, with minds as sharp as needles; this was a battle of wits among matrons, leaving no room for men to intervene! It seems Makar¡¯s choice of sending the dwarf woman was indeed a masterstroke! Details determine success or failure. This operation had indeed placed too much emphasis on a small potato! In the presence of someone like Nanny Rong, a Saintess level expert, who was uneasy and guilty could indeed hardly escape her triangular gaze. The small potatoes served to catch her initial attention, playing a catch-and-release trick. Step two involved a quarrel over the small potatoes, further distracting Nanny Rong. Step three was to stir up trouble and draw everyone from the courtyard, creating a chaotic scene with lots of noise, making it harder to spot Da Fei and ensuring easier escape with others pleading for peace. Step four, the dwarf woman¡¯s antics and refusal to leave, was to buy time until dark! Only with darkness could Da Fei¡¯s infiltration and hiding proceed smoothly. Otherwise, a straightforward passage might have been more problematic. Thus, the art of espionage doesn¡¯t lie in the seemingly insignificant yet eye-catching high-tech like that of 007, nor in the seemingly ordinary yet actually extraordinary charisma of blond heartthrobs, but in a potato that was originally unnoticed and a dwarf woman that was originally unremarkable. When the wagon reached the back courtyard, night had fallen. Amidst the shadows, the stout body of the dwarf woman became Da Fei¡¯s best cover, as Da Fei Master-level stealth slipped into the pre-planned clutter storage room. Second gate, successful! The storage room was the most leniently managed place in the entire monastery, rarely patrolled by old nuns, the most likely place to hide someone. Now, it was time to find someone. Once found, bring her to the storage room for a private meeting with him! He would use relics as leverage to secure a quick deal! Outside the storage came the voice of the dwarf woman, ¡°Elsa, is this yours?¡± ¡°No, Lady Tabia.¡± ¡°Amber, is this yours?¡± ¡°Hehe, no, but I can help Lady Tabia find the owner.¡± ¡°No need, I¡¯ll find her myself. If I can¡¯t find her, it¡¯s mine, wahahaha!¡± ¡°Lady Tabia¡­ you¡­¡± ¡°What about me?¡± ¡°You are just too shameless!¡± ¡°Nonsense, didn¡¯t you see I¡¯m looking for the owner? I¡¯m still half principled!¡± Wahahaha, the voice of the nuns is so nice, like angels, Selvia, what¡¯s your name now? Come, let Uncle pamper you! Soon the dwarf woman¡¯s voice was heard again, ¡°Ah? None of them are? Then I¡¯ll only come again tomorrow.¡± Needless to say, she wasn¡¯t found. Alas, there were still eight days of game time to wait. The dwarf woman mentioned that there were no men in the monastery, so chores like moving were often handled by young, low-status little nuns on duty shifts, making the chance of encountering Selvia quite high. Outside the storage room, the sound of the wagon and the bustle faded, the dwarf woman left. Da Fei began to ponder how to escape after success, as this was the most difficult part. From the current first plan, it was best to set a fire in the storage, and then the soon-to-be-hero Selvia pretended to fetch water to put it out, and seized the opportunity to leave, hehe! Female heroes are rare, and female heroes with special professions are even rarer; a nun is undoubtedly a special profession female hero, definitely worth the effort and underhanded tactics to acquire, symbolizing identity, status, and power! Looking at the entire world, how many could be as awesome as him, able to penetrate a monastery with the same extraordinary wit and unparalleled Master Skill? Being a God-level Hero was well-deserved! As he was reveling in his thoughts, footsteps were heard outside the storage room, coming closer. Da Fei was stunned, someone? A nun? A group of people entered the dark storage room, and Da Fei widened his eyes! What the hell! Female¨Cplayers! In this world, there are places, even if a man has all the skills in the world, he should never enter, but women come and go freely; for example, women¡¯s restrooms, women¡¯s baths. He used extraordinary means just to enter a women¡¯s bath! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CAh! Upon realizing this, Da Fei spat out a mouthful of old blood! And at this time, a group of female players with names all prefixed with Bloodrose, like Bloodrose Holy Spear, Bloodrose Rosa, Bloodrose Holy Sword, furtively gathered in the storage room in a circle. Da Fei was suddenly shocked, Bloodrose? Bloodrose Studio? What the hell! That¡¯s in this city, which is also the most famous Beauty Studio in the country! Although the scale isn¡¯t comparable to Star Dragon Slayer, the reputation is not small! Isn¡¯t their leader this Bloodrose Rosa? It¡¯s rumored she once vied with Da Fei¡¯s dream girl, Bu Feiyan, for last year¡¯s Otaku Goddess title but ultimately lost to the greater influence of Star? If it¡¯s Bloodrose Studio, it means this monastery isn¡¯t just a place any female player can enter, but requires a high level of skill. So thinking, Da Fei finally felt somewhat relieved. So, what are they up to? Damn, I¡¯m on a big mission here, don¡¯t interfere with me! (Asking for all kinds of votes) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 67 - Chapter 67: Chapter 64 Claire? Selvia Chapter 67: Chapter 64 Claire? Selvia Blood Rose Studio, a famous beauty studio in China, with legal representative Zhou Qing, game ID: Bloodrose Rosa, headquartered on Green Lake Park Road, Shendong City. A non-profit organization. Being a non-profit means they¡¯re just playing for fun and never intended to make money. Yet sometimes, the less you care about the god of wealth, the more they shamelessly come knocking, licking the boots of the beauties. Therefore, the advertising endorsement income of their studio is eye-wateringly high. Under their wing are several low-level gold farming studios in Shendong City, dedicated to grinding gold for the beauties. The selling point of Blood Rose Studio is simple¨Cpretty professional gamers, balancing idol status with skill. Thus, Bloodrose Rosa firmly implemented the strategy of focusing on skillful beauties. If there¡¯s any regret, it would be that the studio hasn¡¯t produced a super beauty player of global fame like Star Guild¡¯s Bu Feiyan. One from their ranks could suppress a group from Bloodrose, and that¡¯s truly a vexing matter. With the global launch of Heroic Creation Era, Blood Rose Studio, of course, switched all their operations to the new game immediately. With a whole bunch of subordinate gold farming studios supporting them, they went for the high-end path without hesitation. What¡¯s high-end? Magic is high-end! And undoubtedly, the high-end magic lies within the neutral power of the Mage Academy of the Seven Cities Alliance. However, joining it is a mystery. Not wanting to waste time, Blood Rose Studio went the nun route. Clergy are categorized into upper, middle, and lower tiers¨Crural priests, and the priests and bishops of the church are nowhere near the same level. But within the church¡¯s various clerical systems, there¡¯s a special and important one, nuns! For men, they are ascetics. Nuns are the most devout believers who devote their whole being to God, often selected from orphaned girls without relatives. They rarely participate in any charitable activities and lead a life that, to ordinary people, seems almost prisoner-like. But it¡¯s because of this lifestyle that they have the time and energy for spiritual practice. Although their powers might not be the strongest due to innate limitations, without a doubt their overall standard symbolizes the high-end level of the church. Compared to ascetics, who, as men, have many more temptations to overcome in the process of cultivation, ascetics are truly not on par with nuns. There are two types of nuns: lifelong nuns and fostered nuns; only lifelong nuns can learn the highest-end Divine Arts and be closest to God. Fostered nuns are the young girls who were put under the church¡¯s care by sailors and soldiers who might perish at any time, just to get a meal and do odd jobs. Since day one of server launch, Blood Rose targeted the Holy Mother Monastery. The Lionheart Empire has many such monasteries, but Bloodrose set her sights on the one in Saint Paul Port, mainly aiming at the massive commercial capabilities of the empire¡¯s largest seaport. Bloodrose¡¯s ambition is to monopolize Saint Paul Port! The whole studio, a bunch of beauties with both brains and bravery, made significant progress in their strategy for the monastery. Several senior executives of the studio have successfully infiltrated the monastery and become externs. Entry to the monastery means learning high-end Divine Arts not available in regular Skill Books, and hiring special heroes, like Nuns, who are difficult for ordinary people to recruit. Of course, more secrets await their discovery. Naturally, the cost of becoming an extern is the prohibition of leaving at will, living a nun-like prisoner¡¯s life. For players, this is absolutely a grueling issue, but for the beauties, not so much. And it was just three days ago that a member named Bloodrose Qiqi discovered a magical pamphlet in a gap in the library¡¯s brick wall. This was no coincidence but an inevitability; the work of the studio¡¯s members within the monastery was to thoroughly search for mechanisms, secret doors, and hidden quests. Whose secret from which era was exposed in this pamphlet! ¨C¡°Desire is innate and comes from the depths of the heart. Suppressing it forcefully leads to a twisted mind and wandering down the wrong path. Desires need to be released in an appropriate way!¡± The content was so explosive it made all the female players of the Blood Rose Studio blush with embarrassment! Being the ¡®big sister¡¯, Bloodrose didn¡¯t care about any heretical nonsense. She made a decisive call: ¡°Develop it fully!¡± So, the entire studio followed the instructions in the pamphlet, coming to the storage room, the only place in the monastery where they wouldn¡¯t be disturbed, to secretly conduct rituals every game night. The rituals had been going on for one game month, which is three days in reality. These three days had been tough on the beauties, as they took turns with little rest. After all, the player¡¯s powers were too weak, making the rituals intense and time-consuming. ¡­¡­. Now, all their spellcasting rituals were witnessed by Da Fei. This feeling was like peeping at girls showering in the women¡¯s restroom, very thrilling and exciting! But with such a crucial operation and so much effort spent, Da Fei couldn¡¯t afford any unexpected setbacks by letting them ruin it. He was torn. As for going out and greeting them? Shit, a man like me would be a sure target for disposal, right? Don¡¯t be foolish! Not to mention, to them, a regular player like me with tens of thousands of fans and wealth, I¡¯m just nothing. Soon, a lookout player came in to report at the door: ¡°They¡¯re coming for inspection!¡± Everyone immediately stopped the ritual, covered the Array with random objects, and quietly left the room. There must be a ghost! After they left, Da Fei cautiously came out from his hiding spot, ready to uncover the objects and examine the Array on the ground but thought better of it. At the end of the day, these things required a quest item to handle, right? He didn¡¯t understand it and couldn¡¯t achieve anything anyway. Big studios and high-end players have their ways of playing, without disrupting the order. Another new day began. The backyard buzzed with activity, and some female workers began to move in and out of the storage room. Da Fei was even more careful, hiding in the shadows, not daring to make the slightest noise. The carriage sounds started, and the old lady came again. ¡°Anna, is this something you dropped?¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t have such a thing.¡± ¡°Shariel, is this something you dropped?¡± ¡°No, Lady Tabia.¡± Another day without any findings, the old woman returned home. Da Fei started to feel anxious; deep down, there¡¯s always a hint of unease towards an uncertain target. At night, the female gamers of Bloodrose stealthily came again, and judging from their practiced manner, it seemed like they were here every day? Another in-game day passed, and the old woman still had no findings. Although only three days have passed in the game and just an afternoon in reality, Da Fei was beginning to feel restless. At night, the beauties came and went again. Endure! On the fourth day, the old woman still hadn¡¯t found anything. But it seemed like the female gamers had made significant progress; the Array they surrounded burst into a dazzling pink radiance! The beauties cheered in the darkness: ¡°Success is near! Tomorrow night will surely be a success!¡± ¡°Great, everyone should head back and replenish your Mana. Tomorrow night we¡¯ll settle it in one go!¡± Holy crap! What are you girls up to, don¡¯t mess up my operation. The thought of the high-end players certainly scheming something big, likely involving projects worth millions, and his own progress¨Cdespite being a Master¨Cbeing stalled, twisted feelings of envy, jealousy, and hatred filled Da Fei¡¯s heart! On the fifth day, the long-awaited miracle finally happened! ¡°Claire, is this something you dropped?¡± ¡°!!!¡± The old woman, excited and thrilled, said, ¡°Claire? This must be something you dropped, right? Come here, come to this side, I found it here! Come and recognize it!¡± Made it inside! The old woman dragged in a beautiful, blonde Little Nun dressed in a white Nun Robe! As she entered the door, still dazed, the whole dim storeroom seemed to fill with radiance, and the golden glow beneath her feet proclaimed that she was indeed a Hero! Found her! Finally found her! She¡¯s really a Hero! In that instant, Da Fei was so excited he almost leaped out from his hiding spot! As soon as she entered, the old woman immediately whispered into the still-recovering Little Nun¡¯s ear: ¡°Selvia?¡± The Little Nun nodded in shock. Oh yeah! Fully confirmed! Tears streamed down Da Fei¡¯s face! A nun in a white robe, ah, she must hold a high Divine Position! Her strength is definitely outstanding! It¡¯s really been worth watching over her these many days and nights! The old woman let out a long sigh of relief and quietly handed the flute to her, whispering, ¡°This is yours, quickly keep it safe. It¡¯s not convenient to speak now, come here quietly tonight, without letting anyone notice. Someone important wants to meet you to discuss something critical! No matter who you see or what you talk about, don¡¯t be shocked, you got it?¡± The Little Nun¡¯s eyes blazed with an impassioned light as she nodded emphatically. The old woman chuckled, ¡°Alright, go back to your tasks quickly!¡± After saying that, she laughed heartily while pushing the Little Nun out the door, shouting, ¡°Let¡¯s all pull together, guys!¡± Da Fei also heaved a long sigh of relief. From her recent expression, she might think her father is still alive? If so, I can avoid the most troublesome step of hiring a hero and just kidnap her directly! The reason for warning her not to be surprised was of course for fear a man suddenly appearing would cause her to scream. Da Fei looked forward to the arrival of the evening with great anticipation! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Damn it! When will she come tonight? What kind of mess are those girl gamers up to this evening? If they bump into each other, won¡¯t it ruin everything? Caught in a tangled mess of thoughts, evening arrived. And the worst-case scenario finally happened; those damn Bloodrose women couldn¡¯t wait and came over as soon as it got dark! They even arrived earlier than the previous nights! ¨CAh pfft! Da Fei sprayed a mouthful of blood! I even bought a bag last year! (Seeking all kinds of votes) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 68 - Chapter 68: Chapter 65 Banshee Instructor Chapter 68: Chapter 65 Banshee Instructor Bloodrose¡¯s female players were filled with excitement as they began their final ritual. Da Fei, frustrated and cornered, had no idea what to do! Kill them all? If I could take on six by myself, I wouldn¡¯t hesitate to be a heartbreaker and go red for once! But let¡¯s not even talk about not being able to kill them, even if possible, I would be poking a hornet¡¯s nest! Confront and persuade them to stop? Only if I had my head kicked by a donkey! The large guilds and studios are working on multi-million projects, if I dare to show up and blabber, not to mention my game ID is up for grabs, they might silence me in real life too? What to do? All I can hope for now is that they finish quickly and get lost. But looking at the slow-heating trend of the array, it seems it won¡¯t be done quickly, right? The encounter is inevitable, so the key question is what would the Little Nun¡¯s reaction be to these sneaky girls? Will she call for help to stop the ritual? Or¡­ mistakenly think that they were sent by the older lady? A herd of feral thoughts stampeded through Da Fei¡¯s mind. As time ticked by, the array burst into increasingly bright red glows, and each member of Bloodrose showed an excited and nervous expression. And just then, a petite figure cloaked in a black robe silently appeared at the door of the storage room. She¡¯s here! Da Fei tensed up. The petite figure stood at the door for a while, then quietly entered the storage room, while the oblivious Bloodrose gals were excitedly surrounding the array, unaware of the new arrival! They had sentries outside, so they were completely unguarded. What they didn¡¯t know was that the Little Nun had managed to avoid their sentries to keep from being noticed. Now, the Little Nun stood quietly behind the crowd. The older lady had said, always expect people and events at night, don¡¯t be surprised. Da Fei spat out another mouthful of old blood! The thing he least wanted to see had happened. A massive mistake! The Little Nun must have thought they were the people coming for her! What if Bloodrose deceives and wins her over? Wouldn¡¯t I be at a huge loss? Decided, if the situation gets out of control, I¡¯ll rush out and tell her, ¡°I am the person you¡¯re looking for!¡± Even if I mess up and can¡¯t get her, I won¡¯t let you gain the advantage! With a flash of red light from the array, a faint, seductively charming laugh emanated from within. Bloodrose Rosa exclaimed excitedly, ¡°Go for it! It¡¯s the critical moment!¡± Hearing this demonic laugh, the Little Nun couldn¡¯t help but be startled! At that moment¨C ¡°Ah!!!¡± The Bloodrose Holy Spear across from the Little Nun finally noticed there was an additional person in the room! This shock was no small thing; all Bloodrose players screamed as if they¡¯d seen a ghost: ¡°Ah!!!¡± The Little Nun was also slightly taken aback, then said in a stern voice, ¡°Keep going! Otherwise, the ritual will fail.¡± ¡ª Ahem! Da Fei spat out more blood! It¡¯s really a blunder, you little girl, do you know what they¡¯re up to? I also have no idea what they¡¯re doing! At this moment, everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to do. It was a situation too dire for second thoughts, and the oldest sister gritted her teeth: ¡°Continue!¡± The players gave awkward, silly smiles to the Little Nun while they kept channeling Mana into the array, with the seductive laughter in the array getting louder and a pink mist steaming out, coalescing more and more. ¡°Out of Mana!¡± The eldest sister gritted her teeth: ¡°Drink Mana potions!¡± Everyone took out a big blue bottle and drank it down in one gulp. Watching secretly, Da Fei clicked his tongue in amazement; these were big blue potions worth thousands of Gold Coins, equivalent to the price of an Angel, but true to a big studio, they drank Mana like water! The mist gathered into a translucent human shape: ¡°Not enough! Too weak! You dare to summon me when you can¡¯t even support my materialization on this Plane?¡± Bloodrose Rosa was shocked: ¡°Do we need to materialize it?¡± The mist impatiently said, ¡°I¡¯ve never met such a weak Master before. When you are stronger, let¡¯s talk. Goodbye!¡± Everyone was startled! Just then, the Little Nun made her move: ¡°Wait! I¡¯ll help!¡± The Bloodrose players, in their bewilderment, nodded repeatedly: ¡°Yes! Yes!¡± Da Fei was so angry he was blowing his top! How much more blood could I spit, how many more tears could I shed?! You bunch of silly women, do you even understand each other¡¯s situations? With the Little Nun¡¯s involvement, the array shone brightly red, the pink mist condensed back into a translucent figure, then continued to solidify and materialize, until finally, a snow-white skinned, voluptuously shaped stark-naked woman appeared¨Cwith a pair of shimmering black Demon wings on her ribs, a Banshee! A level 4 trooper of the Hell Race! Wow!!! A surprise exclamation erupted from all the beauties. Da Fei¡¯s eyeballs were nearly popping out! No, this wasn¡¯t an ordinary Banshee; regular Banshees have reddish-brown skin, how could she be so white? And she had no hooves or tail! Under Da Fei Master-level¡¯s Reconnaissance Skill, the name of the Banshee was revealed¨CBanshee Instructor! Damn! An Instructor! What¡¯s an Instructor? A facility that complements the trooper buildings! Of course, establishments like the Anemone King are exceptional; you just plant a seed and it¡¯s done. But typical trooper buildings not only require blueprints to build training barracks, but also require hiring troop Instructors! Without an Instructor, the output would be extremely low, and the troopers produced would be of the most basic type. Any trooper that possesses the special skill ¡°Training¡± can be an Instructor, and this skill could appear randomly on any trooper, with a chance of about one in a thousand. So once a player produces a trooper with the Training skill in NPC barracks or their own castle, that¡¯s a big money-maker. And the Banshee, as a unit type for the Hell Race, is undoubtedly a strategic troop, because it possesses a Divine Skill¨CCharm! Banshee: Attack 6, Defense 6, Health 30, Damage 6-13, Attack Speed 9, Move Speed 16, Command Value 2, Fire Resistance 90%, Magic Resistance 45%, Casting Speed: Instant. Special skill: Charming Effect, Chain Shooting. Charming Effect: A Banshee can charm an enemy unit in a tactical position on the battlefield, causing it to forget itself and be unable to fight, and it will recover its senses once attacked. The effect of the charm depends on the number of Banshees and the Magic Power of the hero. Chain Shooting: The Banshee is a ranged attack unit whose flame attacks, upon hitting a target, will bounce to adjacent units. All units hit by her flames suffer a burning effect. The common strategy for players who control the Hell Race is to use the horse-chicken-dog iron triangle combination: ¡®horse¡¯ for the Hell Nightmare, ¡®dog¡¯ for the Hell Three-headed Dog, and ¡®chicken¡¯ for the Banshee, of course. At the start of battle, the Banshee¡¯s instant Charm holds one of the enemy¡¯s units in place, usually a ranged unit that poses a threat to the Banshee. Then, the Hell Horses and Three-headed Dogs charge in. In any case, the Hell Race¡¯s approach¨Cwhether striking first to suppress or summoning reinforcements by opening the Hell Gate later¨Calways exerts immense pressure. And the Banshee, as a solid level 4 unit, perfectly carries out various tactical maneuvers. If there is any downside at all, it would be their low health and defense. Now, a naked Banshee Instructor appears before all the beauties, leaving them dumbstruck and paling in comparison¨Call of them are pondering one question: how does a Nun summon a Banshee to release desires in her notebook? And in a dark corner, Da Fei¡¯s desires are so repressed that they¡¯re about to explode! He wants women who are dressed; not to mention those with big white butts who are undressed! The key is, what to do? At this moment, the Banshee looks around the room and chuckles, ¡°Who is my Master?¡± Bloodrose Rosa immediately jumps out, ¡°Me, it¡¯s me! I summoned you!¡± Holy crap! Da Fei clenches his steel teeth so tight they¡¯re about to bleed out! He wants to be the Master too! The Banshee shakes her head and smiles coldly, ¡°You are not worthy; not even the most basic Command Value to command me is met!¡± The women are shocked, ¡°Command Value is required too? Isn¡¯t a Command Value of 140 points enough, big sis?¡± The Banshee twitches her mouth, ¡°I require the basic Command Value. The so-called official rank Command Values of your world are of no effect to me. I don¡¯t acknowledge any of your ranks.¡± Bloodrose Rosa is shocked, ¡°Even my basic Command Value of 40 points isn¡¯t enough? Are you a BOSS?¡± The Banshee ignores her, casting a coquettish glance at the Little Nun, then hugs her like a big sister would and caresses her cheek while softly and charmingly whispering, ¡°Would you like to be my Master?¡± The Little Nun quivers all over. Bloodrose Studio is collectively astonished! Bloodrose Rosa decisively blurts out, ¡°Miss Claire, please be her Master, none of us have the requirements to command her!¡± Blooodrose Rosa¡¯s plan, of course, is to let the hero Nun recruit this BOSS-level unit first, and then the studio will pool all their resources to recruit this hero Nun herself! Killing two birds with one stone! The Little Nun hesitates, ¡°But¡­¡± Everyone immediately urges her, ¡°Miss Claire!¡± The Little Nun came tonight prepared for anything against the rules of her faith, so she grits her teeth and nods, ¡°Alright!¡± The Banshee chuckles, ¡°Hello, my Master, Deirdre at your service!¡± The women applaud, ¡°Miss Claire, you are so awesome!¡± And just then, a team member who was keeping watch rushes in, ¡°They are coming to check the room!¡± The Bloodrose members immediately say, ¡°Miss Claire, we¡¯ll see you tomorrow!¡± and they promptly run out of the storeroom. The Little Nun is completely baffled, ¡°Hey! You¨C¡± Wahaha! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Oh heavens, you really haven¡¯t abandoned me! I still have tears to shed! ¨C¡°Selvia!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Little Nun is startled and turns around, ¡°Who?¡± ¨C¡°As we agreed during the day, no matter what you see, don¡¯t be shocked.¡± Ah? In the astonished and bewildered gaze of the Little Nun, Captain Da Fei leisurely emerges from the corner. (Please vote for all kinds of tickets) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 69 - Chapter 69: Chapter 66 Escape from the Monastery Chapter 69: Chapter 66 Escape from the Monastery At this moment, Da Fei, imposing and spirited in his captain¡¯s attire, locked eyes with a shocked Selvia. ¡°Hmm, do you remember the time when your father went off to war? Do you recall the call of the ocean? Do you miss the freshness of the sea breeze? Do you long for the cries of the seagulls? In a myriad of words, just two: ¡®Take your instructor and follow your brother!''¡± Selvia, trembling, pulled out a vertical flute: ¡°Is this what you brought me?¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°Yes, do you want to see your father?¡± Hmm, if you think your dad is still alive, brother might as well elope with you first. Then when you ask where your father is, brother would point towards his ship¨Cthis is where your father lived and fought before his death; continue his legacy, haha! If not possible, brother could bring you to that Miracle Island and bury Uncle Juan¡¯s remains, that¡¯s also an option. Selvia shook her head: ¡°Thank you, after the kingdom announced my father¡¯s death, I became a lifelong nun in the church, I have no ties to the secular world anymore. Moreover, the presence of this flute here means that my father is indeed dead.¡± Da Fei was astonished: ¡°The flute? How can you tell?¡± Selvia sighed, ¡°This is my father¡¯s Blood Flute, which housed a Spiritual Eagle. Normally, the flute should be red. When my father died, the Spiritual Eagle would vanish, and the flute turned gray-white.¡± Da Fei was shocked! So this treasure also had such a backstory? What use does this Spiritual Eagle have? Selvia handed the flute back to Da Fei: ¡°Thank you, but I no longer need this. Take it to the Elf Kingdom, they should teach you how to use it, please honor my father¡¯s legacy and use it well.¡± ¨CAh puff! That blonde lass even persuades brother to carry on with the legacy, do you know what your father¡¯s legacy was? Da Fei urgently said, ¡°That means, you will stay here forever? End up like¡­ like Yumina?¡± Selvia nodded: ¡°Yes.¡± Are you joking? You¡¯re just 15 years old! A wild young girl who roams by the harbor docks suddenly destined to become an old nun, aren¡¯t you really giving up? Isn¡¯t this some hero recruitment challenge you¡¯re setting for brother? Da Fei sighed: ¡°Since you have no ties to the secular world, why did you come to see me?¡± Selvia sighed: ¡°Longing, curiosity.¡± In the end, she¡¯s still just a young girl. So that¡¯s it! Since the relic didn¡¯t work, time to pull out the ultimate move! Originally, brother planned to use this method on the island directly, but considering it too dangerous if exposed, always dared not use it. Da Fei took out Uncle¡¯s nautical diary and flipped to the page marked by a bookmark: ¡°At this point, I can tell you, it was all a hoax! The planner of this hoax is an existence we cannot directly confront!¡± Selvia exclaimed: ¡°This is?¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°This is a shocking secret! Should it be revealed, the consequences are inconceivable, you may keep the truth forever buried in your heart and die old in this monastery. Or you could follow me out of here and do what you ought to do, of course, this requires great courage!¡± At this moment, Selvia, holding her father¡¯s diary, trembled all over, tears uncontrollably streaming down! There¡¯s hope! Let brother comfort your helpless heart. Da Fei gently embraced the petite nun, with a firm and resolute tone saying, ¡°I am Uncle¡¯s student, I carry on Uncle¡¯s legacy, but my power is not yet enough to uphold justice; I need help!¡± Selvia turned her head, wiped her tears and snot on Da Fei¡¯s uniform, took a deep breath and determinedly said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll help you! We must fight for justice for my father!¡± Hahaha! Success! Heroes in the diaries indeed need the diaries to be subdued! Da Fei excitedly said, ¡°Then, join me, be my Vice Hero!¡± Selvia shook her head: ¡°I am not yet free, I must first leave this place, do you have any way to get me out?¡± Da Fei was taken aback! Free? Even recruiting heroes needs this prerequisite? It seemed so, after all, that¡¯s how Captain Catherine was recruited after first escaping from the Desolate Islands. So that¡¯s it, if she could be recruited now, what would be the difficulty? Just fight our way out, even if both die in battle, the Vice Hero is still in the player¡¯s Vice Hero space, the player simply resurrects and returns to the city to the Hero Altar for revival, just like resurrecting pets in games played before. After all, these kinds of heroes are scene-based, unlike those freely found in taverns. But no worries, escaping or such is too easy to say, brother had already planned, on a dark murdering night with high wind perfect for arson, brother would just set a fire in this storage room. Da Fei blurted out, ¡°Of course, setting a fire! Escape in the chaos!¡± Selvia was suddenly startled, then shook her head: ¡°No! I can¡¯t do that! Escaping secretly is already a big mistake, if setting a fire causes casualties, that would be an unforgivable sin, even if the kingdom doesn¡¯t capture me, God will punish me.¡± Da Fei was suddenly taken aback! Aren¡¯t you just deliberately making things difficult for brother? With Grandmaster Stealth, I even have to struggle to make my way, how are you going to get out? Da Fei then said, ¡°What about having Aunt Tabia secretly pick us up with her car?¡± Selvia frowned, ¡°Hard to say, Yumina at the gate is very strong. And our class has roll calls, if I¡¯m not there, something will definitely happen.¡± Is this not just torturing brother? Da Fei then turned his attention to the Banshee by his side, this Banshee with 40 Command Value couldn¡¯t be commanded, a true BOSS; a boss¡¯s skills are of course valuable and worth a try. Da Fei asked the Banshee, ¡°Do you have any ideas?¡± The Banshee tilted her head with a cold snort. Damn it! Not taking the bait, Brother Bird! Just wait til I recruit this girl and see how I¡¯ll deal with you! Selvia shook his head, ¡°It won¡¯t work, this is a Monastery, there are too many powerful nuns. Her skills definitely can¡¯t deceive Yumina at the gate.¡± Nanny Rong again! Can we stop mentioning Nanny Rong! For a moment, Da Fei fell into deep frustration. Seems like there really is no way, huh? Screw it, just set a fire! As long as the fire escalates things, and you make such a huge mistake, you¡¯ll have no choice but to follow me loyally. I refuse to believe I can¡¯t win! Ah, but that won¡¯t work either! Now she¡¯s with a Banshee! Even if a fire is set, the Banshee¡¯s conspicuous presence definitely won¡¯t escape the discerning eyes of the old nuns! This Banshee Instructor is definitely not ordinary; why would the high-end studio put so much effort into this? If she gets killed it would be a huge loss! No matter what, I have to find a way to save this beautiful troop type! Hmm? Bloodrose? Damn! I¡¯ve got an idea, Bloodrose! What¡¯s the idea? The idea is to have others come up with ideas! Back then when I was into multi-level marketing, how did the leaders trick us? ¨CYou think you¡¯re not capable and can¡¯t handle sales, no worries! Your friends, or your friends¡¯ friends, surely some of them are capable, right? As long as we unite and struggle for a common interest¡­ Bullshit common interest, smart people fool the fools! Aren¡¯t those noble and aloof ladies from Bloodrose Studio planning to target Little Baby tomorrow? Haha, just like my thoughts, we share a common interest! Since I¡¯m at a standstill, I¡¯ll have to trouble you guys. Da Fei chuckled and asked, ¡°How are those few people doing in the Monastery?¡± Selvia frowned and said, ¡°They¡¯ve always performed well, and are deeply trusted by the abbess, but I don¡¯t know why they would do this tonight.¡± Da Fei laughed, ¡°They are righteous buddies indeed!¡± Being trusted by the abbess is great! Truly worthy of high-end studio players, good, I trust you too. ¡­¡­ Shendong City Green Lake Park, the city¡¯s gem amidst towering buildings. As night falls and the lights come on, the dazzling reflections of the colorful buildings shimmer on the lake surface, radiating an enchanting mix of wave and building silhouettes. With the festive air of the New Year, residents group together to enjoy the night scenery by Green Lake Road. People frequent the nearby teahouses and antique bird shops along Green Lake Road, in one of the courtyards there¡¯s a brightly lit cafe with full glass walls. This is indeed the location of Bloodrose Studio, and indeed a cafe, though the courtyard gate is permanently closed to the public. At the moment, in the cafe, Japanese-style cute maid employees are busily serving tea and dinner to the beautiful players in the second-floor server room. In the spacious and luxurious server room upstairs, Zhou Qing, with long hair draped over her shoulders and dressed in a red tight leather jacket and skirt with warm stockings, is excitedly walking back and forth giving orders: ¡°Little Qi, quickly check what the building requirements are for the Banshee Camp!¡± ¡°I¡¯m still eating!¡± ¡°What do you mean still eating! That tiny egg tart can be swallowed in one bite, you haven¡¯t pecked it clean yet? Are you a mouse?¡± ¡°Sister! Mind your ladylike image, okay?¡± ¡°Ladylike is for showing to stinky men, I¡¯ll give you 20 seconds!¡± ¡°Little Yue, check which class this Claire is in, what she likes, what she plays, what she eats!¡± ¡°Shufen, have you figured out the resettlement issue for the Banshee?¡± ¡°Sister, we can only place her in the storage room! She¡¯ll be dead once she goes out, okay?¡± ¡°This is a problem, we must find a way to relocate this Banshee!¡± ¡°Sister! Stop talking, it¡¯s dawn and time for morning exercise!

Hey, still trying to act all proper! Anyway, Little Baby has ordered you to hide in the corner with big bro here, even if you¡¯re the BOSS you have to listen obediently. Once big bro has taken Little Baby under his wing, you¡¯ll be mine too, wahahaha! Da Fei smirked, ¡°Baby, what skills do you have?¡± The Banshee turned her head and threw a flirtatious glance: ¡°Want to know?¡± Haha, such attitude! Da Fei nodded repeatedly, ¡°I want to know!¡± The Banshee¡¯s smile grew even more sinister: ¡°That would be hell~~¡± Wahaha! Hell, is it! Little Baby has commanded that you must not attack me, so let big bro have a look at your hell! Da Fei excitedly said, ¡°I indeed want to see hell!¡± The Banshee smiled, ¡°Then you better hold on to me tight, and don¡¯t let go!¡± Da Fei nodded again and again with a lecherous grin, ¡°Bring it on, whatever tricks you¡¯ve got!¡± The Banshee chuckled; a faint red glow emanated from her body, then her figure began to blur and twist. After the red light dissipated, a black-robed, black-veiled nun appeared in front of Da Fei. Da Fei was shocked, ¡°Transformation Skill!¡± The nun croakily said, ¡°Yes!¡± and then started to turn around! Wait a minute! That voice, that figure, something¡¯s not right! Da Fei suddenly felt a sense of foreboding. The nun turned around with a gnarly smile, ¡°Here¡¯s the hell you wanted!¡± Nanny Rong!!! In that moment, Da Fei¡¯s breathing stopped! Time stood still for Da Fei! His world began to collapse! An endless abyss had opened its gates to Da Fei! Da Fei cried out in panic, ¡°Okay! Okay! I know your skill now, change back, quick!¡± Nanny Rong grabbed Da Fei with a hoarse voice, ¡°Can¡¯t change back! It will take quite a while!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t~~~ let go!!!¡± Da Fei struggled with all his might! ¡°This is a small place, stop flailing! Otherwise, we¡¯ll be discovered from outside!¡± ¡ª-Ahem¡­¡­ Bloodrose Studio, bustling with activity. The boss lady, Zhou Qing, on a caffeine high, was at her most agitated, ¡°Little Yue! Have you found it? What kind of mission would allow a nun to leave the Monastery legitimately?¡± Little Yue answered without hesitation, ¡°There are five missions in the Monastery that would allow a nun to leave legitimately: comforting and treating disaster victims, festivals related to the gods, invitations to royal and noble weddings and funerals, burial of a large number of soldiers¡¯ bodies, and fundraising in the name of the gods. At the moment, the event that best fits the schedule for leaving is the Mass two months from now, when most nuns will be out and it will be very easy to slip away.¡± Zhou Qing ground her teeth, ¡°No, the longer the Banshee stays here, the more dangerous her exposure is. Let¡¯s set a fire!¡± Little Yue cautioned, ¡°Sister, don¡¯t be rash. There is another special event. Our Monastery¡¯s vineyard supplies grapes exclusively to Marquis Wenbodun¡¯s Goddess brand winery. Marquis Wenbodun is a freak; he¡¯s crazily obsessed with grapes nourished by the nuns¡¯¡­ fertilizer. He firmly believes that grapes picked by young nuns¡¯ hands are the holiest, and when his winery starts operating, he¡¯ll also invite young, beautiful nuns to stomp grapes while sweating profusely in the fermentation tanks, under the so-called blessing of the Goddess day. At that time, many important people from the city will be invited by him to watch at the winery, and the grape juice extracted will be reserved on the spot by these bigshots at high prices, while they also generously donate to the Monastery¡­¡± ¡°Wow! That¡¯s so perverted!¡± All the beauties in the studio exclaimed in shock! Qiqi joked, ¡°We might as well sell wine naked!¡± Little Yue glared, ¡°Are you a virgin? Are you pristine? Did you wash up properly after going to the bathroom?¡± Qiqi retorted angrily, ¡°You¡­ You¡¯re the virgin, you¡¯re the one who just went to the bathroom!¡± The women all laughed boisterously, ¡°It¡¯ll sell better if it¡¯s not clean!¡± Zhou Qing waved her hands, ¡°Stop it! Stop it! So, what are you suggesting?¡± Little Yue chuckled: ¡°As long as we send someone to smash all the grapes in the winery¡¯s cellar, that weirdo Marquis will have to start work all over again. Then, he¡¯ll immediately turn to our Monastery for more labor and grapes. At that time, the girls can go out!¡± Zhou Qing was taken aback: ¡°Smash the winery¡¯s cellar?¡± Little Yue nodded: ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s much better than setting fire to the Monastery! If we get caught burning the Monastery, we¡¯ll all have to skedaddle, and the risk is too great.¡± Zhou Qing nodded: ¡°What does everyone think?¡± The women laughed heartily: ¡°Is big sister going to make Boss Xie take the blame again?¡± Zhou Qing snorted coldly: ¡°These lower-ranked studios exist because of us. Asking them to take action is giving them honor.¡± Little Yue also snorted coldly: ¡°Exactly. Just post something online, and who knows how many studios would come licking our boots. Not to mention smashing a winery, even the Imperial Palace would have to be smashed!¡± The women laughed out loud. Zhou Qing clapped her hands: ¡°Alright, it¡¯s settled then. We¡¯ll take care of the tasks up front, Little Yue, you¡¯re in charge of the outside tasks. Shufen, you and your team go to the vineyard for a preemptive harvest; Meiling, have all the empty barrels placed in the storeroom¡¯s backyard; Qiqi, when we leave, your team will distract the old gatekeeper woman! Ann Hong, you coordinate with the team outside to set up a rendezvous point near the winery. In short, this matters to whether we can hire heroes and keep the Banshee Instructor, so everyone must give it their all, quick battle, quick decision!¡± ¡°Understood.¡± ¡­ Night passed, day arrived. The storeroom outside was bustling with noise, clearly Bloodrose was up to something big. What Da Fei didn¡¯t know was that in Saint Paul City at this moment, there was a team of professional gamers making an even bigger move. Hundreds of players attacked an NPC winery in waves, ignoring the guards¡¯ attempts to stop them and forcefully causing destruction, then being collectively detained by NPC security, leaving everyone puzzled by their behavior and motivations. As the boss of the Bloodstained Dragon Spear Studio, Scorpion was extremely frustrated. You ask me what I¡¯m doing? I have no idea what I¡¯m doing! Tell them there¡¯s a Divine Artifact in the cellar! Otherwise, they all think we¡¯re fools, damn it! I am a fool! Over the New Year¡¯s, getting all our accounts locked up for five or six days, what¡¯s the damn point! Under the precise operations of the large team, the escape plan unfolded step by step in an orderly fashion. And Da Fei didn¡¯t have to worry about any of this anymore, at this moment he was enjoying the pleasures of the Hell Race. Da Fei felt as if thousands of years had passed, and countless life cycles had transpired. Why is life so long? Da Fei had an epiphany! The most terrifying aspect of the Banshee isn¡¯t their ability to turn into beautiful women and send men into ecstatic bliss, but to turn into nannies and send men into hell! Now that he¡¯s enlightened, if lust is an illusion and the illusion is lust, then a Banshee is a nanny, and a nanny is a Banshee! If even Zhuge Liang has an ugly wife, what does it matter if I embrace a nanny? So, as a master and a professional gamer, it¡¯s not enough to just elevate your state of mind in this long life. One must also delve into some practical issues to prepare for future developments. For instance, the Banshee¡¯s Transformation Skill, transforming into NPCs, which indicates their espionage abilities, means they can use Teleportation Gates, greatly avoiding the problem of troop types not being able to use Teleportation Arrays. Then, she could be brought aboard the ship. Otherwise, transporting troops from Saint Paul Port to Elorin would take at least three real days, by which time my Epic Quest would have already failed. Then there was the issue of the Banshee Camp. The hallmark of the Hell Race is space teleportation, the very thing that allows the Hell Race to sweep across worlds. That means, Hell Race barracks don¡¯t need territory or population (though having them is naturally better); the barracks are essentially a Teleportation Gate. Once the barracks are built, the corresponding troop type can be summoned, and troop output entirely depends on the instructor¡¯s summoning ability. If that¡¯s the case, could we build a Banshee Camp on the ship? The ship is a moving territory after all! If my ship could recruit Banshees then this operation would be even more assured, right? But the Banshee said the biggest problem with building a Summoning Array on the ship is that the ship is mobile, resulting in uncertain coordinates. This is quite troublesome; this issue needs further in-depth and straightforward discussion and study with the Banshee. Night fell. In the darkness, faint footsteps could be heard. Nanny Rong immediately let go and turned around to greet: ¡°Master!¡± My Little Baby, you¡¯ve finally arrived! In that moment, it was as if a ray of sunlight shone into the darkest depths of hell; Da Fei shed tears bright and piercing, I still have tears to shed! Selvia whispered: ¡°It¡¯s clear now; you guys hide in the empty barrels on the truck outside!¡± Da Fei nodded tearfully: ¡°It¡¯s all on you!¡± The whole backyard was filled with grape barrels in one day, some filled with grapes, some empty. Obviously, Bloodrose intended to sneak people out in the barrels. Selvia pointed at an empty barrel: ¡°You two squeeze in there!¡± Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°Why do two need to squeeze in one barrel?¡± Selvia whispered: ¡°This way, the chance of being discovered is reduced by 50%!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª Ah choo!! Nanny Rong embraced Da Fei with a coquettish smile: ¡°My lord, let¡¯s continue!¡± Da Fei nodded woodenly. He suddenly realized that his state of mind had elevated. Seeing the mountain is no longer the mountain, seeing the water is no longer the water. (Please vote for all kinds of tickets.) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 71 - Chapter 71: Chapter 68: This Feud Has Grown Deep Chapter 71: Chapter 68: This Feud Has Grown Deep Darkness was so prolonged. Da Fei felt himself moving, like a star traversing the boundless darkness of the universe, time and space both turning eternal. Da Fei knew that his realm had been elevated once again. A loud rumble erupted in the darkness, a beam of light cut through the endless abyss, and a brand new world had finally arrived! Da Fei suddenly stood up from the barrel, greeted by Selvia and a dozen players who were staring agape. Selvia exclaimed excitedly: ¡°We made it out!¡± True to form for a big studio, they handle things solidly. Now or never! Da Fei immediately said: ¡°Follow me!¡± Selvia nodded firmly: ¡°Okay! Please take care of me in the future!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Epic Hero Claire Selvia has become your Vice Hero! Hahahaha! An epic beauty hero! My Little Baby, my efforts for so long have paid off! Tears streaming down his face, Da Fei laughed heartily! The players exclaimed in surprise: ¡°It¡¯s Da Fei! The swindler Da Fei who¡¯s wanted across the entire server!¡± ¡°Oh my God! The nun¡¯s name has changed, she¡¯s been recruited by Da Fei as a Vice Hero!¡± ¡°What¡¯s going on! How come you are in a barrel!¡± A female player named Bloodrose Ann fiercely stepped forward to interrogate. Da Fei silently sighed, originally intending to recruit heroes for himself, and the other players could recruit banshees, each going their own way, without intersecting, but fate is unpredictable. Now it seemed he had completely offended the Bloodrose Studio. At this point, there wasn¡¯t much to say, either go separate ways or chase me down to level zero. I¡¯m already wanted across the entire server anyway, what¡¯s one more itch when you¡¯re already bitten by so many fleas. Da Fei, while stepping out of the barrel, looked around the place that seemed like a workshop¡¯s storeroom for an exit. Meanwhile, the banshee, still disguised as Nanny Rong, stepped out of the barrel following him. Bloodrose Ann said furiously: ¡°I¡¯m asking you! Did you hear me?¡± Da Fei replied with a sigh: ¡°I heard you, but I have nothing to say. What do you want to do? Where the heck is the exit?¡± Bloodrose Ann said angrily: ¡°I don¡¯t care what tricks you¡¯ve pulled, I¡¯ll let the hero go, but hand over that banshee of yours!¡± At that moment, the players began to encircle them. Da Fei furrowed his brow! Under normal circumstances, players couldn¡¯t bring their troops into the city, they had to be stationed outside in the camps, but the transformed banshee was a special case, right? Clearly, without further ado, there would be an immediate fall-out, a forced battle. Da Fei hastily said: ¡°I¡¯m not the kind of person who is unreasonable, but surely you can¡¯t lead them, it¡¯s a banshee BOSS, which requires high Command Power.¡± Bloodrose Ann was momentarily speechless: ¡°You!¡± Saw a closed door! Da Fei chuckled: ¡°Anyway, I really appreciate everyone, if there¡¯s anything you need help with in the future, I¡¯ll repay this favor! As for this banshee, let me take her for now. Once you level up later, I¡¯ll return her to you, I¡¯m busy now, goodbye!¡± ¡°Halt!¡± Bloodrose Ann shouted angrily: ¡°Who would believe the words of a swindler like you! Surround him, don¡¯t let him get away!¡± Damn! You say to surround me and I just let you? I know your studio has a lot of people, if a thousand folks take shifts to surround me, I¡¯ll be permanently imprisoned! Da Fei didn¡¯t hesitate: ¡°Run!¡± Bloodrose Ann furiously shouted: ¡°Kill the banshee!¡± Da Fei hurriedly said: ¡°Hey! Being red-named has dreadful consequences!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Warning! Your subordinate is subject to a malicious attack by the player Bloodstained Totem, you may retaliate rightfully! ¨CSystem Prompt: Warning! Your subordinate is subject to a malicious attack by the player Bloodstained Silver Arrow, you may retaliate rightfully! Damn! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your troop Deirdre casts Great Charm Technique on the enemy! In just an instant, a red fog enveloped everyone, all players completely immobilized! Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched in shock! A player is equivalent to a hero is equivalent to a troop, her full immobilization was mass charming? No time to think further, escaping was a priority. Not that I¡¯m chickening out, but you¡¯re not worth killing, hahaha! Da Fei rushed to the door and suddenly found it impossible to open! ¨CSystem Prompt: An obstacle is blocking the door! Fuck! This must be their trickery for this smuggling operation, right? Could this big studio be any more reliable? This is totally like trapping a dog in a pen! At this point, make a decision on the fly! While they are immobilized, it¡¯s the perfect time for a righteous counterattack ¨C if you don¡¯t strike now, when will you? Da Fei waved his hand: ¡°Kill them all!¡± The Banshee let out a chuckle, raised her hand, and a serpent of fire shot out, hitting the red-named player and exploding with a bang. The fire snake didn¡¯t stop there, it darted around the group of players, casting sparks everywhere and damage values like ¡°-35,¡± ¡°-17,¡± ¡°-8,¡± ¡°-4,¡± ¡°-2,¡± ¡°-1¡± began to pop up above players¡¯ heads. This was the Banshee¡¯s special skill, Flame Chain Shooting, which would hit one person and then immediately splash onto the next, with the splash damage halving every time, until it went down to ¡°-1.¡± The Banshee¡¯s damage wasn¡¯t high; her main role wasn¡¯t to deal damage, but to cause a scorching effect on enemies hit by her shots, which could trigger the Hell Race heroes¡¯ Professional Skill, Hellfire. ¨CHellfire: The Hell Race¡¯s troops have a certain chance to deal an additional 30% Flame Damage against enemies affected by scorching. Furthermore, the scorching effect¡¯s damage is increased after being hit by Ice Element magic. Therefore, with her crowd control skill, Charming Technique, and the scorching effect of Chain Shooting, the Banshee is the deserved strategic troop of the Hell Race. Even other races would find the Banshee very handy. Such a great troop, and also an instructor, and she¡¯s been entwined with me for a whole cosmic century, would I willingly let her go? If you were willing to pay tens or even hundreds of thousands of Gold Coins, I might have considered it, but the situation has progressed to a point where any negotiations are untrustworthy. Unfortunately! At the same time, the Little Nun also made her move, as a golden light descended from the sky! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia has released Master Level Light Magic ¡°Power of Tenacity,¡± boosting your troops¡¯ Defense by +15! 15 points of Defense! Master Level Light Magic! A Master Level nanny! True to form as my Little Baby! Now with a defense of 45 points and over 100 points of health, can you guys even scratch me? Da Fei, filled with confidence, charged forward with his spear. Another ray of golden light fell from the sky! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia has released Master Level Light Magic ¡°Righteous Power,¡± boosting your troops¡¯ Attack by +15! Haha! Wahaha! What¡¯s next? Master Level Healing Skill, Vitality Regeneration? With a nanny on my left and Nanny Rong on my right, what do I have to fear? Da Fei shouted: ¡°I can take on ten of you!¡± The fight was without any suspense; with Da Fei¡¯s justified counterattack, the Boss-level Banshee¡¯s chain bombardment, and the Little Nun¡¯s healing boosts, Bloodrose and the other dozen or so players from Bloodstained all vanished into thin air. At this time, noises of items being moved and the scolding of NPC guards came from outside the treasury door: ¡°Who dares to break into the treasury uninvited! This is a severe warning!¡± This grudge, it¡¯s grown big! Da Fei sighed deeply and walked to the door: ¡°I admit my mistake! I¡¯ll post bail!¡± ¡­.. Bloodrose Studio, the whole team was silent. Sister Zhou was on the phone with the boss of Bloodstained Dragon Spear Studio. ¡± Sister Zhou, can you explain what¡¯s going on? Our studio had two hundred members thrown into the NPC jail for what, to let this Da Fei hire heroes and recruit a Banshee?¡± Zhou Qing trembled with anger: ¡°Boss Xie, no need to say anything else. Just consider it as giving the players a vacation for the New Year. We¡¯ll compensate for your losses!¡± ¡°Heh, Sister Zhou, what are you talking about? We¡¯d climb mountains and dive into seas of fire without batting an eye at your word. It¡¯s just that we really¡­ In short, with Sister Zhou¡¯s word, our brothers can have a good New Year.¡± Zhou Qing coldly replied: ¡°Climb mountains and dive into seas of fire, is it? Then, Boss Xie, what do you suggest we do with this Da Fei?¡± ¡°Haha, just a word from Sister Zhou, and it¡¯s nothing more than placing a bounty to hunt him down to level zero. As soon as our brothers are released, we won¡¯t farm Gold Coins anymore, we¡¯ll focus on taking revenge for Sister Zhou!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Zhou Qing angrily hung up the phone: ¡°Okay then, all day it¡¯s Gold Coin this, Gold Coin that!¡± At that moment, Ann Hong lowered her head: ¡°Sister, I¡¯m sorry¡­ I didn¡¯t handle it well.¡± Zhou Qing let out a long sigh: ¡°No need to say anymore, get in touch with Blood Sea Studio!¡± (Seeking all kinds of votes) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: Chapter 69: Return to Elorin Chapter 72: Chapter 69: Return to Elorin Mr. Da Fei felt an immense sense of relief and leisure upon his release from the police station. The sky was so blue, the wind so fresh, and everyone¡¯s smiling faces were so amiable. This was the joy of success, the satisfaction of achievement, the freedom of being carefree! Now, at last, Mr. Da Fei had the opportunity to check out Little Nun¡¯s attributes. Claire Selvia: Selvia was born in a single-parent seafaring family. Her father would bring home various interesting goods from different places every time he returned from the sea, and Selvia also longed to go to sea with her father. However, the Kingdom¡¯s prohibition stated that ordinary women could not go out to sea. Therefore, the young Selvia decided to become an extraordinary woman. She sold the gifts her father brought her to enroll in the church to learn basic divine arts, manifesting extraordinary talent. At 150 years old, when Selvia¡¯s father took on an extremely risky exploration mission, he placed 10-year-old Selvia in a monastery. At the monastery, Selvia studied divine arts even more diligently, becoming a standout among the young nuns and a hopeful candidate for the next Saintess. Personality: Quiet and virtuous, honest and rigid Loyalty: 90 Level: 20 Innate Specialty: Sea Hymn. The effect of the hero¡¯s Light Magic when released at sea increases with level, enhancing the effect by 1% with each level increase. This effect is applied after skill bonuses. Hero Profession: Master-level Nun. Increases the effect of Light Magic by 25%, reduces the damage taken by troops by 25%, increases the Life Value of troops by 15%. Professional Specialty: Undying Light. Causes the enemy¡¯s use of Dark Magic to have a 25% ¨C 50% chance of failure. Command Power: 120 Attack: 0 Defense: 0 (personal defense 5) Magic Power: 10 Knowledge: 20 Damage: 4-5 Life Value: 60 Attack Speed: 10 Move Speed: 10 Equipment: White Nun¡¯s Robe (personal defense +5, Magic Power +5 when casting Light Magic) Hero Skills: Master-level Light Magic (sub-skills: Blessing Master, Anger Master, Protection Master, Refined Magic, Dawn of the Glimmer) Professional Skills: Master-level Nun (sub-skills: Blessing Ceremony, Divine Summoning, Holy Body, Suppressing Darkness, Undying Light) ¡­.. These are Selvia¡¯s attributes! Her specialties are tailor-made for sea battles as a priestess! Worthy of being a sailor¡¯s daughter! No, she¡¯s not just a priestess, she is a special Hero profession: Nun! A nun has one more attribute than both priests and knights, adding 15% to the entire army¡¯s Life Value! This is almost the equivalent of having an additional 15% troops in numbers ¨C truly befitting a special Hero profession! Indeed, there are hidden Hero professions in the game! Among the Nun¡¯s five professional skills, besides the Blessing Ceremony that boosts the state of the entire army, and Holy Body, a common professional skill for Knight Priests that grants immunity to diseases, there are three skills I¡¯ve never heard of before! Suppressing Darkness: When the enemy uses Dark Magic, their Mana consumption more than doubles. Undying Light: Causes the enemy¡¯s use of Dark Magic to have a 25% ¨C 50% chance of failure. Divine Summoning: Gather believers in the name of God, boosting the Nun¡¯s basic Commanding Ability by 100 points. These are the Nun¡¯s skills! As a hero related to an Epic Mission, her Suppressing Darkness and Undying Light are specifically targeted against Makar, the Death Lord. As for Divine Summoning, it means that the Nun is born with the Military Rank of Lieutenant! No wonder she can command Leader-level creatures! The recent PK has already showcased the Banshee¡¯s strength; now, it¡¯s finally time to take a look at her attributes. ¡ª Deirdre: Leader-level small-sized Demon Creature. Attack: 17 Defense: 13 Damage: 17-31 Life: 271 Attack Speed: 11 Casting Speed: Instant Command Value: 80 Special Skill: Flying Creature, Charm Master, Chain Shooting, Transformation Skill, Banshee Training Master 80 Command Value requirement! Truly befitting of a BOSS! If we¡¯re talking about Basic Commanding Ability, then it¡¯s not something that current non-Hell Race players can handle! And she¡¯s actually a flying creature! Holy moly! The wings of regular banshee units are just like a chicken¡¯s, purely decorative! BOSSes are indeed BOSSes! Although I¡¯ve slain hundreds of BOSSes, this banshee, with her attack, Blood Defense, and damage, would just be considered trash among BOSSes. She¡¯s not much stronger than a regular sixth-tier soldier. But how many points does this flying stunt add to her value! Having flying stunts pretty much means it¡¯s hard to be killed on the battlefield. Take angels, for example, many newbie players during the official release said they were too expensive, that the money for one angel could buy three sixth-tier Knight soldiers, and that one angel could not defeat three knights, so angels are not as cost-effective as knights! Indeed, one angel can¡¯t beat three knights in a ground fight, but three angels can wipe out nine knights without a scratch! Pros utilize precise control of their troops to display the advantage of flying stunts to full effect! Similarly, in the hands of pros, the Human Race¡¯s fourth-tier Griffin units are also played to perfection. Not to mention vampires. Flying stunts are the dividing line between the skill levels of pros and noobs. With the flying ability, not to mention the legendary banshee¡¯s signature Transformation Skill, it¡¯s all tears when we talk about it! As for the one-in-a-thousand special skill training master, that goes without saying! If it weren¡¯t for this special skill, would I, as a professional player, get into a falling out with a big studio? Psh! If we¡¯ve fallen out, then so be it. When you¡¯re in the game, you¡¯re bound to offend someone. Not offending anyone means you don¡¯t stand your ground. The less you want to offend, the more likely you¡¯re to be targeted. Anyway, I¡¯ve accepted my fate. Now this is their big studio¡¯s turf. I bet they won¡¯t sit by idly. If they gather dozens or hundreds of people to rush out in an attempt to recklessly chop down my banshee in the street, it would be troublesome. Not afraid of her being killed, but afraid she¡¯d be crippled and revert to her original form from the Transformation Skill. Once she reverts, the banshee is no longer an NPC but becomes a regular unit, which would then be forcibly stored in the barracks outside the town by the NPCs. Regular units cannot use the Teleportation Array, and clearly, the Transformation Skill has a long cooldown. Wouldn¡¯t that mess up the plans to board the ship? So the priority now is to teleport Selvia to the Elf Kingdom, Elorin. After all, I¡¯m an Honorary Citizen there. The safety is on a different level. Fortunately, the big studio is not as crazy as Da Fei imagined. After Da Fei made a detour to pick up Catherine from the tavern, the group managed to return to Elorin safely. In less than a day of real time, Da Fei gained another Female Hero. For a moment, a group of merchant players were amazed and discussed with gestures of disbelief. Hahaha, be envious, jealous, and hateful, right? Keep grumbling! Did the boss only pay you a day¡¯s temp fee? This truly feels like a homecoming. Let¡¯s go check out how the customization of my ship is going. The shipyard dock. The huge Flying was pulled out of the water, resting on the shipyard slides, with hundreds of workers scurrying around on the surrounding scaffolding, with the entire ship¡¯s hull being painted with a layer of green paint. Hey, hey! Why paint in this color? I don¡¯t want green! Da Fei was anxious and quickly found a bossy-looking person who appeared to be a foreman and asked, ¡°Can we change the paint color? I don¡¯t want green; I want white! Or even black is fine.¡± The elf foreman saluted: ¡°Mr. Da Fei, captain, you might not know this. This is not paint; it¡¯s the vital glue that we are infusing into the rotten wood, which is very expensive. Its function is akin to the vascular system inside a plant. Simply put, your ship temporarily has the function of a living plant, and it can fully absorb Life Energy. Do you understand?¡± Da Fei suddenly realized: ¡°I see! You¡¯ve all gone to great lengths.¡± The foreman shook his head: ¡°It¡¯s because this ship has a value worth the effort, sir. Do you believe that the ship also has life?¡± Elf rules, all trees have spirits, right! Da Fei laughed: ¡°I believe it. After all, this is a ship that has been both blessed and cursed. Something without life wouldn¡¯t be blessed or cursed.¡± The foreman nodded contentedly: ¡°It¡¯s really good that you think this way, sir. This ship has been cursed, and it¡¯s weeping. Please treat it well, and when the time comes, it will also surprise you.¡± Da Fei asked in surprise: ¡°What kind of surprise?¡± The foreman replied solemnly: ¡°Of course, it can grow like life, have skills like life!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened! Holy shit, so the ship can level up and have skills? At this moment, a guard ran over: ¡°Mr. Da Fei, the mayor urgently needs to see you, please follow me.¡± Urgent matters? It¡¯s not yet the departure date, right? But that¡¯s fine, I also have important matters to discuss with him anyway, like uncle¡¯s flute, and about installing a Banshee Camp on my ship, hahaha!

Mayor Auseliman paced back and forth, both anxious and excited. ¡°Mayor, Mr. Da Fei has arrived.¡± Auseliman was overjoyed, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, you finally appeared! It¡¯s great that you¡¯ve come!¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Mayor, just let me know what you need.¡± Auseliman nodded, his expression serious, ¡°Things have changed! This purification action of ours has alerted a mysterious hermit. That hermit sold a map marking the location of the Abyss Blood Pool in the Underground World on the black market and has since disappeared.¡± Da Fei was stunned, ¡°What is the Abyss Blood Pool?¡± Auseliman stated solemnly, ¡°It¡¯s the life hatchery of the blood demon lineage. It is said to be a blood sea sealed in an Otherworld space beneath the abyss. As the demon moon waxes and wanes, it causes tides. When the blood sea is in flood tide, countless demon eggs are driven onto the shores. The young blood demons hatch in the moonlight, fight among themselves, and grow stronger through survival of the fittest. Once mature, they grow wings made of flesh and fly out of the abyss into the Demon World. This is the Life Pool for blood demons, so the Demon God set a powerful barrier there. Strong life forms cannot enter, but¨C¡± Auseliman¡¯s tone shifted to excitement, ¡°But sir, you can enter! That blood pool is not too far from the Pool of Radiance, and this is likely why the Pool of Radiance was tainted and destroyed by demons! You can reach it by using Space Teleportation multiple times. From the map, your ship needs to first reach this location of the Pool of Radiance¨C¡± He pointed to the edge of a white sea on the map, ¡°Once you reach this point, you can use Space Teleportation to bring the entire ship here. Then navigate the ship to this point and teleport here, and then¨C¡± Watching his hand flit across a map he barely understood, Da Fei was bewildered. Where was he supposed to get a teleportation device? Were they supplying advanced tech? The crux of the matter¨C Da Fei cleared his throat to interrupt, ¡°Uh, Mayor, why do I have to go there?¡± Auseliman laughed loudly, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, you are the elite among the young heroes we selected from the thousands of miles radius you came from. If you enter that Blood Sea Space and kill as many demon hatcheries as possible, you will be destroying the demon race¡¯s offspring, stifling their future, and reducing their population. This will contribute greatly to the World Tree, the Elf Kingdom, and the peace and justice of the entire Hero Continent! Your feats will be recorded in history. The rewards and status you will receive are unimaginable! Aren¡¯t you tempted?¡± Da Fei was stunned, ¡°So, I have a new task again?¡± Auseliman nodded, ¡°Indeed! The Kingdom Staff Department is currently analyzing the reliability of the hermit¡¯s map day and night. Based on the past few days¡¯ progress, it matches very well with the clues we¡¯ve gathered over the years, explaining several issues we¡¯ve encountered. Its reliability is over 50%! With such high reliability, it¡¯s enough to undertake a military adventure! So after purifying the Pool of Radiance, Mr. Da Fei can advance to this Abyss Blood Pool, where there are many nascent demons. If you can purify the Pool of Radiance, you can surely defeat them!¡± Is it unreliable? How did an epic quest suddenly spawn a new situation? A side quest to an epic quest? I¡¯m here to repair my ship, and instead of providing timber, you¡¯re persuading me into an epic quest. Now you¡¯re shamelessly giving out side quests? Side quests are, in principle, optional. Da Fei cleared his throat, ¡°Uh, can¡¯t I not go? I already feel pressured trying to purify the Pool of Radiance.¡± Auseliman patted Da Fei¡¯s shoulder earnestly, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, if I could be 500 years younger, I would certainly go. But even if I were 500 years younger, I still couldn¡¯t go because I lack the ability. But Mr. Da Fei, you¡¯re different. You¡¯re outstanding; what reason do you have not to go?¡± There was no reason not to go. High-end players never refused high-end quests. But Uncle, do you understand my point? More work for the same reward¨Chow can you ask players to do such a thing? Da Fei sighed, ¡°Mayor, I do have some difficulties. Could you resolve them for me?¡± Look at Makar, he hasn¡¯t even started the quest, yet he immediately received crossbow cannon military rank. Your small official position should not define your capacity. Otherwise, you won¡¯t become a high official. The Mayor cleared his throat, ¡°Speak freely about any difficulties, and within my capacity, I will find a way to help.¡± Da Fei took out the flute and chuckled, ¡°I want to know what this treasure is for. I would also like to build a Banshee Camp on the ship, and I want a beautiful Vice Hero!¡± I won¡¯t trouble you with a full suit of Divine Artifacts, but you have to meet these three simple requests. The Mayor¡¯s eyelid twitched. He took the flute and looked at it, admiringly saying, ¡°This is the national treasure of our Elf Kingdom! Only the most outstanding sailors approved by the Elf King can receive such a royal gift!¡± He then excitedly patted Da Fei¡¯s shoulder and laughed heartily, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, since you¡¯ve acquired such a treasure, this task can only be yours to do, and you¡¯ll accomplish it with such ease! Mortals can no longer stop you, nor can the demons! What are you hesitating for? The opportunity to make achievements is within reach!¡± Was it really so formidable? Da Fei was moved, ¡°What kind of treasure is this?¡± The Mayor laughed heartily, ¡°This is our renowned national treasure, the Blood Eagle Flute. It nurtures a Spiritual Eagle that shares a vision with its Master using the bloodline of the Master. Your Reconnaissance Skill cap will be increased by 1. Mr. Da Fei, with your Master-level skill, you will be able to temporarily elevate to God-level Reconnaissance Technique! God-level skill! This is a level we ordinary folk could never hope to imagine in a lifetime. Mr. Da Fei, you truly are the hero we¡¯ve painstakingly selected!¡± God-level Reconnaissance Technique! Catherine couldn¡¯t help but exclaim, ¡°Wow, a national treasure; no wonder I couldn¡¯t recognize it!¡± Da Fei then recalled the line in Uncle Juan¡¯s diary, ¡°I can finally step into the realm of God-level,¡± and understood its meaning! It wasn¡¯t an overreach; it was indeed a sudden leap to a new plateau! As a Master Grandmaster completing a small epic quest was already within grasp, now becoming a Divine Master meant that making significant accomplishments was at his fingertips! Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Mayor, you must help me solve this. I¡¯ll take on the task!¡± The Mayor laughed heartily, ¡°Good! You are indeed the hero we selected!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSystem Prompt: You have accepted the National War Camp Task, ¡°Attack the Abyss Blood Pool¡±! ¨CNewbie Tip: The Abyss Blood Pool is the playground of the demons. Under the protection of the Demon God Barrier, the strong cannot enter, and it cannot be protected. Your attack on the Abyss Blood Pool will pose a significant threat to the foundation of the Demon Race, and they will respond with all their might. Since the Demon Race has the capability to span multiple space planes, your assault on one plane¡¯s demons could trigger support from demons of other planes. Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! A National War Camp Task! No way, Makar was right! So, demons from other planes meant demons from other servers. Was I about to have an epic battle with the demon players from North America, the European Union, India, Russia, South Korea, and Japan? (Support with votes!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 74 - Chapter 74: Chapter 71: The Extremely Tangled Banshee Camp Chapter 74: Chapter 71: The Extremely Tangled Banshee Camp Sure, here is the translated text based on your instructions: In the game, players could choose from six racial factions: the Light Camp comprised of the Human Race, Elves, and Dwarves, and the Dark Camp made up of the Undead, Beastmen, and Demons. As for the hidden races, there wasn¡¯t any information available yet. The Demon faction was estimated to be the least welcome among players since the Demon territory on the surface of the Hero Continent was almost non-existent. The world of Demon players featured a sky of fiery red, scorching scorched earth, and rivers of lava. In short, the player felt like they were playing another game, depressing and dull. It wasn¡¯t like the Undead Race, which occasionally offered a change of pace, charging into the green lands of humans to kill and plunder resources. More frustrating was the fact that the initial level one to three soldiers of Demon players weren¡¯t ranged, and losses in battle were inevitable. However, the advantage of Demons was also very evident, which was the Legion Transmission. Demons were experts in Space Teleportation; other races couldn¡¯t use city teleportation arrays to transfer troops, but only Demon Cities could. Thus, according to the game¡¯s background lore, there was a king who, after repelling an invasion from Hell, decided to pursue and eradicate the demons in their homeland, but was utterly defeated because the Demon World consisted entirely of Demon Cities. Demons could instantly concentrate the armies from all their cities to resist the invasion. Moreover, the Demon World was a multi-dimensional world. In terms of Chinese culture, it was like the eighteen layers of hell, and in Western culture, it was like the seven purgatories. All in all, developers from various countries reached a consensus to highlight the allure of the Demonic forces and enrich their playability. Every service area¡¯s Demon World was interconnected. Other races could only clash in the New World. Thus, during faction wars, if a demon¡¯s stronghold in a certain area was besieged beyond endurance (which was almost impossible), they could activate the National War mode to seek assistance from demons in other zones. Hence, a major selling point of the Demon Race was allowing players to engage in international exchanges with players from other countries. Demons were known for their aggression; even outside their Hell home turf, they could still showcase their formidable Space Teleportation abilities. The Professional Skill of Demon Heroes was Hell Gate. ¨CHell Gate: The army of the Hell Race on the battlefield could open a gate to the Otherworld to summon reinforcements from the Hell Abyss. The initial summoning ratio was 30% of the army¡¯s number, intermediate 35%, advanced 40%, expert 45%, and master-level 50%. In the Japan area, the God-level Hero Skill of ¡°Hell Gate Master¡± enhanced the Hell Gate effect by an additional 1% for every level up, which meant if that hero was level 50, the Hell Gate effect increased by an additional 50%. Combined with Master-Level Hell Gate, it reached 100%, and if combined with the Luck Skill to create the child-skill ¡°Swarm Gate,¡± the summoned number doubled again. Therefore, fighting demons meant facing their extra half-numbered cannon fodder armies. The only counter was a quick attack, making their Teleportation Gate unable to summon reinforcements in time. However, the Demon Race excelled in quick attacks too. Thus, wars with demons were extremely brutal, and neither side could avoid incurring losses, which was a painful issue for both factions¡¯ players. Now, Da Fei painfully realized that he might be making enemies with all the world¡¯s Demon players. Da Fei hurriedly asked, ¡°My Lord Mayor, did I poke a hornet¡¯s nest here? How many troops will the demons send to aid them? Will I have any support?¡± Auseliman chuckled, ¡°Our Space Teleportation isn¡¯t as specialized as the demons. Getting a big ship like yours, along with so many troops, to the Pool of Radiance¡¯s barrier is already using all we¡¯ve got. We can¡¯t provide you with more support. But don¡¯t worry, the Abyss Blood Pool is also constrained by the barrier, just like our World Tree. At most, young heroes like yourself will come to their aid, but are there outstanding young heroes like you in this world? None! You can fight ten of them! I have confidence in you! You don¡¯t need support!¡± ¨COh puh! Ten? Could it be just ten when it¡¯s initiated a national war already? Due to the Demon Race¡¯s level one to three soldiers being low-defense melee units, they started with an extreme disadvantage, so Demon players generally started with a mechanical crossbow cannon strategy. This meant the sixteen crossbow cannons I proudly owned in my gun cabin might face thousands of Demon players¡¯ crossbows! Wouldn¡¯t that turn me into a sieve? Even if there weren¡¯t a thousand, ten would still be unbearable! Darn it, this is so unfair! It totally digs a pit for players! However, the thought of fighting all the world¡¯s Demon players single-handedly ignited a hidden grandeur within my heart! When was the last time I felt such grandeur? It was a long time ago, maybe when writing my autobiography ¡°Da Fei and the Sea¡±? Alright! Let¡¯s do it! Didn¡¯t they say there were two Demon God-level heroes in the Japan area? I¡¯ll warn them not to come to the China Region; even if they do, don¡¯t let my God-level Reconnaissance Technique catch them; otherwise, I¡¯d smash them with sixteen crossbow cannons¡­ no, only one side can fire, so it¡¯d be eight crossbows plus the Phantom Crossbow Cannon to blast them into smithereens! Having decided to do it big, I might as well abandon my virtue and exploit the NPCs¡¯ potential to the maximum. Da Fei shamelessly said, ¡°My Lord Mayor, since the Blood Eagle Flute has no issues, you must help me solve the Banshee Camp and the beautiful Vice Hero! Oh, and I also want to take on the powerful hidden hero profession!¡± I don¡¯t believe Makar would impatiently shout for my dismissal, would you bid me farewell? Auseliman coughed and said, ¡°Well¡­ sir seems to still have a Vice Hero slot, and this kingdom top-level force should provide you with a young guide this time, although it¡¯s only a temporary Vice Hero.¡± Oh? A temporary Vice Hero? The unattainable is usually the most desirable, aren¡¯t temporary workers usually outstanding? Da Fei eagerly asked, ¡°Is it a beauty?¡± Auseliman chuckled, ¡°That¡¯s not within my consideration. Now, about the Banshee Camp, is sir referring to her?¡± He pointed at Nanny Rong. There¡¯s hope! A city-level NPC is indeed generous! Compared to him, Makar is utterly pathetic! Da Fei joyfully said, ¡°That¡¯s right! As long as there¡¯s war, there¡¯re bound to be casualties, and on this expedition, I absolutely can¡¯t replenish troops. My forces will only dwindle over time, and in the later stages, I might be unable to fight. The Demon¡¯s barracks are different since their principles are teleportation-based; no city, no population needed. Now I have an instructor, so I want to build a mobile barracks on my ship, but the problem is the ship¡¯s movement causes unstable coordinates. This is an issue you must solve for me, Lord Mayor, no matter what!¡± Auseliman nodded, ¡°As expected of Mr. Da Fei, your understanding of demons is so profound. Assigning you this task is truly finding the right person.¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Not at all.¡± Auseliman chuckled, ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not that difficult; you should know that many mages¡¯ Mage Towers seem much larger inside than outside?¡± Uh, that¡¯s an instance dungeon. Aren¡¯t all games like that where you enter a tiny house, and then the scene changes to a large space? However, since he said it¡¯s not difficult, it¡¯ll be easy then; I have to serve him well. Da Fei modestly said, ¡°Although I haven¡¯t been inside a Mage Tower, I¡¯ve heard of it.¡± Auseliman nodded, ¡°It¡¯s called Space Expansion Technique. More commonly, it¡¯s like everyone has a Space Bag, a little bag where you can keep many large items. You understand this, right?¡± Da Fei suddenly realized, ¡°You mean the Lord Mayor can retrofit my ship into a Space Bag, and then build a barracks inside the bag?¡± Auseliman nodded, ¡°That¡¯s roughly it. We can have Grand Mages convert a room into a different space, but since it involves troop summoning, the specific implementation is much more complex. According to Grand Mages, it should belong to Absolute Stationary Space Expansion Technique!¡± Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°Even though I don¡¯t quite understand, please, Lord Mayor, make it happen for me.¡± Auseliman sighed, ¡°For our Elf Kingdom, this kind of thing isn¡¯t technically a problem; I can lobby the top management to sort things out, and manpower isn¡¯t an issue, but there¡¯s one big problem that can¡¯t be avoided.¡± Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°What big problem?¡± Auseliman casually raised a hand, with his thumb touching his forefinger. If the gesture stood up, it would be OK, but lying down, everyone understood! Da Fei was stunned, ¡°Gold coin?¡± Auseliman shook his head and sighed, ¡°To discuss money with a hero like you is indeed vulgar, but we have no other choice. This sort of thing isn¡¯t included in the subsidy budget for this action. I can¡¯t request funding from above, nor can I use this city¡¯s treasury, or else my image of integrity would be affected, as would the image of the Elf Kingdom¡¯s officials. In conclusion, if sir wants this project done, you¡¯ll have to pay for it yourself. I can arrange top Grand Mages to set it up for you, people who generally can¡¯t be persuaded by others.¡± Da Fei was stupefied on the spot! Damn! Money is still an issue? Da Fei therefore asked in astonishment, ¡°How much will it cost?¡± Auseliman raised one finger, ¡°At least this much. You¡¯re surely not able to come up with it, but don¡¯t worry. You have shares in the marine industry in our city, and you can engage in heavy trading to pay off installments over time. I also trust your commercial capabilities.¡± One? A hundred thousand? A million? Or ten million? From his indifferent expression, Da Fei sensed a thick pit-treading vibe! Damn it! Are you kidding? Say, how much are you pocketing from helping me? Da Fei cautiously asked, ¡°How much?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Auseliman chuckled, ¡°Compared to sir¡¯s mighty achievements, money is actually not a problem! It¡¯s just a billion.¡± ¨COh puh! A billion! According to the current marketplace¡¯s studio price of gold coins, that equates to hundreds of thousands of RMB! I would buy a car, buy a house if¡­ uh, can¡¯t buy it! Damn it! In a flash, Da Fei realized NPCs weren¡¯t easily fooled; while you could require stuff from him, he¡¯d quietly set up a trap for you! Isn¡¯t this a deliberate scam? (Requesting all sorts of votes) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 75 - Chapter 75: Chapter 72 Legendary Hero Legacy Chapter 75: Chapter 72 Legendary Hero Legacy Da Fei was stuck in a seriously frustrating dilemma. First, what does one hundred million even mean? Let¡¯s not even talk about the current market rate for the studio; in the game, an Angel costs 5,000 Gold Coins each, so one hundred million could buy 20,000 of them! 20,000! Even 20,000 flies could blot out the sky, let alone 20,000 Angels! Are we planning a Divine War? Destroying the world? Okay, the city¡¯s Angel supply is fixed, and even with money, there aren¡¯t that many to go around. Then let¡¯s talk territory. One billion Gold Coins could build one hundred villages on the new continent! Pile up the turf of a hundred villages, and that¡¯s basically a country! Are you saying I¡¯m supposed to gradually pay to build a country? This old guy used the public budget to fix my ship and send troops under the guise of righteousness, and then I risk my life fighting underground. If we win, he gets credit and his political achievements skyrocket. Even if we lose, he doesn¡¯t suffer a bit. It¡¯s a win-win for him, and now when I make demands, he charges me money, and it¡¯s a whopping one hundred million!!! Even if I have a cutting-edge ship, even if Elorin¡¯s specialty products have unlimited production, filling the ship¡¯s cargo each time, along with my fast speed and amazing Sailing Skill earning a million Gold Coins in a day and a half real-time on long-haul sea trips, making one hundred million is no big deal, just one hundred trips, or about three hundred days, less than a year. But realistically, it would take more than a year, right? Two years? Life doesn¡¯t have many two-year spells, does it? Is one ship worth this investment? Is this mission worth the investment? Are Banshees that good a deal? Maybe the benefits of winning would cover some costs, but what if I lose? The ship¡¯s gone, the Banshee Instructor¡¯s gone, the mobile camp¡¯s washed away, and then I¡¯m back to square one, running a small ship and trading my way back from a billion debt? And then fighting enemies along the trading routes? Not pay the debt back? No way, the system forces a deduction! Can you outsmart the system in a game? Unless I abandon this account and start a new one! Yep, time to sell the account and have some big boss cover the hole. In the end, it¡¯s not this old guy¡¯s fault; it¡¯s the system blocking players! Honestly, I think a mobile camp needing no population and territory is a bit ridiculous. How could the system make things that easy for players? In the midst of the struggle, Auseliman sighed, ¡°Actually, I believe you could manage without a camp, given your capabilities. After all, our operation didn¡¯t budget for reinforcements. Now let¡¯s discuss the Hidden Profession you requested.¡± Hidden Profession! Da Fei was taken aback! No way, that was just me shooting my mouth off, right? How could an NPC methodically fulfill my demands like this? The expected response should be Makar¡¯s style of ¡°showing me the door,¡± right? Auseliman took a deep breath, looking quite wistful, ¡°In our Elf history, there was a Legendary Hero named Gru. His special skill was training mediocre Elf Archers and Human Archers into the mythical Phantom Archers, known for their extreme range, precision, and obstacle-ignoring abilities. This surpassed our understanding and defied life¡¯s growth laws. Even today, no one believes his ability truly existed, thinking it a mere legend or myth!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched! Phantom Archer? Was it mentioned in Makar¡¯s notes? Then there¡¯s the obstacle-ignoring Phantom Divine Bow? Phantom Crossbow Cannon? Auseliman continued in a trance, ¡°But his achievements are recorded in history without dispute! A thousand years ago, the Hero Continent faced a full-scale Demon invasion. The surface world was nearly overrun, with the forces of justice on the brink of extinction at their last fortress. In this world crisis, Hero Gru emerged from the Ancient Secret Forest, breaking through the enemy¡¯s ranks, saving allied nations under siege. Under his leadership, the forces of justice formed an unstoppable iron torrent, annihilating the million-strong Demon Army. He then retired back to the Ancient Secret Forest. A thousand years passed, and the Demon Army never again posed a large-scale threat to the surface world.¡± Da Fei listened, dumbfounded, ¡°And then?¡± Auseliman shook his head sadly, ¡°Then, then the Emperor of the Human Falcon Dynasty, dissatisfied with Gru¡¯s spotlight, sought to cement his own savior image within the Alliance. Ignoring their advice, he dispatched a massive army to Hell under the pretense of pursuit to deliver a final blow. And well, that was the end. The failed expedition led to the Falcon Dynasty¡¯s collapse, giving rise to the current Lionheart Dynasty. Ah, foolish humans, so fleeting are life and empires¡­¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly, ¡°So that¡¯s the king whose hell expedition failed, as introduced in the game background.¡± Darn! After all that, don¡¯t flaunt racial superiority! Get to the point! Da Fei hurriedly asked, ¡°So what about the Hidden Profession?¡± Auseliman spoke seriously, ¡°Before Gru went into retirement, he left three scrolls for the Elf Kingdom, Human Kingdom, and Dwarf Kingdom, respectively. These are the Inheritance Scrolls for his profession. Only heroes recognized by all three nations can fully undertake the job, though I don¡¯t know the profession¡¯s specifics, one thing is undeniably certain!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched, ¡°Which is?¡± Auseliman dreamily stated, ¡°It¡¯s absolutely incredibly powerful!¡± Of course, I know it¡¯s powerful! What are you even saying? ¨CSystem Prompt: You obtained information on the Legendary Hero Gru¡¯s profession inheritance. Da Fei was suddenly shocked! Information appeared! So it wasn¡¯t all talk, something that produces information is bound to be awesome! Da Fei asked eagerly, ¡°How do I undertake the profession?¡± Auseliman answered solemnly, ¡°If you fully complete this arduous mission, you¡¯ll qualify to undertake his profession. At the very least, you can achieve two-thirds of it!¡± Oh crap! Being able to switch after completion is useless! I need a change now! But in retrospect, the system wouldn¡¯t be so generous without earning any merits, would it? But¨C Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Can a profession be undertaken two-thirds of the way?¡± Auseliman laughed, ¡°Of course, provided you achieve unparalleled merit for the Elf Kingdom, there¡¯s no reason they wouldn¡¯t recognize you. You¡¯re guaranteed to get the Elf Kingdom¡¯s one-third inheritance. And since you¡¯re human, our Kingdom can mediate with the humans, who will surely admire you, so you¡¯ll secure their one-third as well. Then there are the dwarves, who are always stubbornly reclusive, and this is where you might need to do something for them. But failing isn¡¯t a big deal; once you¡¯ve learned two-thirds of Gru¡¯s inheritance, you¡¯re enough to dominate¡­ umm, leave a lasting legacy!¡± Da Fei was stunned, ¡°So, I¡¯m to fight underground as a rookie?¡± That¡¯s definitely a loss of 30 attribute points! Auseliman sighed, ¡°That¡¯s why you shouldn¡¯t force these things; a Legendary Hero¡¯s profession isn¡¯t easily obtained. Personally, I suggest you stabilize and go back to change to a Knight.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched! Damn! Is this old man advising me to play it safe? Hell, you display a legendary profession in front of me and then advise me, a dual-specialization Divine Master, to change back to a Knight? I was stuck on Pirate Island with unwavering resolve, nearly making an irreversible mistake, waited until level 25 without switching, and you want me to return to change to a widespread Knight? Is that even possible? Isn¡¯t it ridiculous? In that instant, Da Fei made a resolute decision! Go for it! Not changing profession, right? I¡¯ll build the Banshee Camp to compensate! What¡¯s a billion anyway? Once I dominate, it¡¯ll all come back effortlessly; who would foolishly run trade routes? As for failing? Haha, that¡¯s karma for taking someone else¡¯s Banshee; I deserve it! I¡¯m a Master God-level Hero selling my account! What¡¯s a paltry debt! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei firmly stated, ¡°Mayor, I¡¯m booking this Hero inheritance, and about the Banshee Camp, please take special care of it!¡± The mayor laughed heartily, appreciatively patting Da Fei¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Truly impressive! With your impressive spirit, you are qualified for the Hero inheritance. I¡¯ll handle this matter. Due to new developments, your journey may be delayed by two days, giving us enough time to prepare. Now, let¡¯s head to the Hunter Guild to deal with this Blood Eagle Flute; we¡¯ll use the equipment to crush the ragtag Demon Race army!¡± Da Fei laughed heartily. This time, my gamble would succeed, and my life would be devoid of regrets! (Requesting all kinds of votes) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 76 - Chapter 76: Chapter 73 Conditions for Repairing the Blood Eagle Flute Chapter 76: Chapter 73 Conditions for Repairing the Blood Eagle Flute Ranger Guild, the place where Elf players switch to the Hero profession, Ranger. Elves are naturally vengeful, and the Ranger profession maximized this trait through Hate Strike. Ranger, each time you level up a Professional Skill, your troops gain +5% damage, +5% move speed, and a 10% additional damage to their nemesis. The so-called nemesis occurs after an Elf Ranger has killed dozens to hundreds of the same type of creatures. They can use the compulsory sub-skill ¡°Hate Memory¡± to designate that creature as a nemesis. Other sub-skills specifically target nemeses, like ¡°Hostile Slash¡± with a 30% chance of a double hit, or ¡°Frenzy Arrow Rain¡± which shoots all nemeses at once. Nemesis skills require the presence of Elf Clan units to be effective. It is because of such brutal damage bonuses against their nemeses that Elves are one of the fastest leveling races early on. In the later stages, combined with skills like Luck Skill, Elf¡¯s Fortune, and Precision Shot, their attacks can deal double or even triple damage, breaking limits ruthlessly. Under the leadership of a Ranger, Elf Army units had extremely high mobility, making them perfectly suited for quick attacks and guerrilla tactics, the most dreaded opponent for Demons. However, the shortcomings of Elves are also evident, few troops! They simply can¡¯t afford to lose units, as a single defeat can mean a significant setback. An expert may gracefully command the Elves, but beginners should maybe reconsider, as a single loss can be devastating. Similarly, because Elves have fewer troops, they particularly fear mid-to-late-game magical battles, hence the Level 5 Soldiers, the Unicorn¡¯s special skill ¡°Anti-Magic Barrier,¡± serves as an essential protective measure for the Elf Clan. This is also why the ¡°Unicorn Girl¡± hero from the U.S. Supernova Team is a rare and expensive hero. In summary, the Elf Clan excels at mobility and burst, unsuitable for large-scale frontal battles, which is why, despite their strength, they had to rely on humans. Humans, naturally, sacrifice thousands of civilian soldiers without hesitation for personal gain. Therefore, rather than the Elves relying on humans, it¡¯s more accurate to say they use humans. The alliance between humans and Elves is largely based on this interest relationship, coexisting peacefully for centuries. Now Da Fei, accompanied by two beautiful female heroes, entered the Ranger Guild with the Mayor¡¯s party leading the way. The players at the guild¡¯s entrance made way under the guard¡¯s guidance. A group of Elf players turned their heads, murmuring among themselves. Ha-ha, this is what prestige is, this is what standing is! Envious? Jealous? Resentful? You should be! My high-level approach is in a different league compared to you ordinary players grinding instances, slaying monsters, mining, and picking herbs. But this all hinges on the successful completion of this mission, I need to make it big! If not, I may still be a guest of honor in this city, but I certainly wouldn¡¯t enjoy such treatment. Damn, if I can¡¯t complete it, the huge debt of a billion would force me to delete my account! If I delete, these players would celebrate everywhere! Am I such a fool to sacrifice myself for everyone¡¯s joy? No! By any means necessary, I have to win this time! On the top floor of the guild, the party met the Ranger Guild¡¯s president, Jilrien, a middle-aged Elf whose face was covered in camouflage paint. Upon entering, his sharp gaze made Da Fei¡¯s hair stand on end. The Mayor introduced them briefly, and after a polite exchange, Auseliman remarked, ¡°I have urgent matters to attend to, take your time!¡± Da Fei hurriedly laughed, ¡°Take care, sir!¡± Jilrien replied coolly, ¡°Thank you for your efforts, sir, take care.¡± The Mayor¡¯s party left, leaving only Da Fei and the president in the room. The president¡¯s expression darkened, and the previous amiable atmosphere vanished instantly. Da Fei felt a pang of anxiety, as if he seemed displeased? Although Jilrien¡¯s age was not comparable to the elder from the Druid Guild, his status was undoubtedly high. The Mayor had to personally invite the elder with a formal card, whereas he himself was personally brought here by the Mayor. Meaning that whether willing or not, he had to handle the matter? Sure enough, Jilrien¡¯s gaze was frosty as he said with displeasure, ¡°Usually, only young Warriors with distinguished battle achievements get a personal audience with me. But you, just by investing in some property, have gained such regard from the Mayor; even thinking you surpass all our national candidates is hard for me to believe.¡± Hmph! This mission was a matter of survival for my account. Despite your disdain and dissatisfaction, the job still had to be done! Da Fei smiled faintly, putting his arms around Catherine and the Little Nun beside him, ¡°Perhaps my personal combat power isn¡¯t the strongest, but my resources are certainly the most abundant. Right now, which young Warrior can match my formidable combat power? Which young hero has a ship as large as mine?¡± Jilrien¡¯s cold snort accompanied by an outstretched hand, ¡°Bring it!¡± Da Fei chuckled, handing over the flute, ¡°Please do your utmost, sir.¡± Receiving the Blood Eagle Flute, Jilrien coldly laughed, ¡°This is our country¡¯s national treasure. Restoring it poses no problem, but the guild has its rules, unbroken for centuries, and neither should you break them.¡± Da Fei queried, surprised, ¡°What rules?¡± Jilrien scoffed, ¡°Naturally, to complete missions, accumulate prestige and merit! Do you think you can receive such special services just for nothing?¡± Crap! Deliberately making things hard for me? I¡¯m playing at a high level and don¡¯t need any mission or prestige! Da Fei, astonished, asserted, ¡°But just now the Mayor agreed!¡± Jilrien retorted, ¡°I met you only on account of the Mayor¡¯s face, otherwise, do you think you are qualified to meet me?¡± Damn it! I have not offended any players or NPCs, have I? Do we have a grudge? Da Fei lamented, ¡°I¡¯m on the brink of departure, where¡¯s the time to take on tasks and accumulate merit.¡± Jilrien, caressing the Blood Eagle Flute, said coldly, ¡°Guild rules cannot be broken. This national treasure must be officially gifted by our country¡¯s royal family during a major ceremony to grant undisputed ownership to the recipient. I don¡¯t know how you acquired it, but currently, you¡¯re unworthy of it. Thus, there¡¯s only one course of action!¡± Da Fei exclaimed, puzzled, ¡°Ah?¡± Jilrien stated indifferently, ¡°I can repair it, but after it¡¯s fixed, it won¡¯t belong to you. Without merit and prestige, gaining treasures like this is out of the question. For this mission, I can lend it to you; after the mission, success or failure, you must return it.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened in disbelief! Are you serious? Jilrien continued, ¡°Actually, you shouldn¡¯t have high hopes for this treasure. It can indeed temporarily elevate your Master-level Reconnaissance Skill to God-level, but this God-level is fake. You still can¡¯t learn the God-level sub-skills. The greatest use of this treasure is enlightenment.¡± Da Fei asked, stunned, ¡°Enlightenment?¡± Jilrien nodded, ¡°Yes, helping you open the door to truly comprehending God-level Skills. Since you¡¯ve grasped Master-level Skills, you must appreciate the wonderful feeling at the moment of comprehension, whereas comprehending God-level Skills requires a sense that many spend their lives never finding. This treasure¡¯s purpose is to position you temporarily at the God-level, allowing you to slowly find the feeling and comprehend. So, if you successfully comprehend a God-level Skill during this mission, this treasure becomes obsolete. How about it? I¡¯m busy too, if you¡¯re unwilling, please seek help elsewhere!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only With that, he tossed the Blood Eagle Flute back to Da Fei. Damn! How do I have the time or connections to seek help elsewhere! Whether or not I grasp it, if my mission succeeds, a mere flute is worth nothing! It¡¯ll just be a thank-you gift. If my mission fails, the account won¡¯t even be worth keeping, who cares about a flute? Da Fei handed the flute back to the president, stating earnestly, ¡°I accept the president¡¯s conditions, please do your utmost!¡± (Asking for all sorts of votes!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 77 - Chapter 77: Chapter 74 The Expedition is Imminent Chapter 77: Chapter 74 The Expedition is Imminent Repairing the treasure required two in-game days. Exiting the guild, Da Fei let out a deep breath. Everything that could be fixed was done. Whatever couldn¡¯t be fixed had been painted as a big picture waiting for me to solve. Players played by the game¡¯s rules, like step-by-step depositing into an ATM with NPCs. But if you wanted to play big without rules, NPCs turned into rigged slot machines. It all came down to who could outplay the other. This time was definitely a bold move, but how big could it get? It¡¯s not like I¡¯d go bankrupt jumping out of a window, right? Come to think of it, even if I lost, there¡¯s still a chance for a comeback. I have two strong female vice heroes. Even if I fell back and became a pirate robbing the world, I wouldn¡¯t worry about those debts. And if I really can¡¯t make it, I¡¯ll just sell the account. Surely some big shot will want to clear the debts to own those lovely heroine avatars. I¡¯m not scared at all! What is an ideal? An ideal is a big picture and for this ideal, one must strive hard. What does it mean to strive? It means willing to endure hardships. What does it mean to fight? It means daring to gamble! Life offers limited opportunities to gamble, and can merely enduring hardships fulfill ideals? I wouldn¡¯t know, but I do know time waits for no one. At least in the game, I dare to take risks. There was nothing more to do now. After settling my beloved female vice heroes in the inn, I set up in-game task notifications, took off the helmet, and logged off. It was already four in the morning, and even the cold wind of the Spring Festival couldn¡¯t stop the noise of the night-market barbecue stalls downstairs. While eating instant noodles soaked in steamed buns, I watched the smoke rising from the barbecue stand, gazing at the night sky. You could never see stars in a big city¡¯s night sky, but Da Fei still remembered the wish upon a shooting star back in childhood countryside days. Back then, my wish was to be a scientist and build a space fortress filled with giant laser cannons. The journey aimed for the stars and the sea! Later, I realized that was the director¡¯s role. So, my dream shifted to becoming a director, getting to know many actresses. Then I learned that even not every director could do that, but it was achievable in games! Thus, that year I entered the game and became the president of China¡¯s number one guild, the Dragon Slayer Guild, with countless followers beneath me, hahaha! Who said I was a failure? I¡¯ve been realizing my dreams all along! Tomorrow is a new journey for me, and I¡¯m going to crush all demon players worldwide with absolute equipment advantage! Da Fei, full of grandeur, gulped down the instant noodle broth, and went straight to sleep, without washing up. Meanwhile, Da Fei was unaware that during his guild time, demon players worldwide were shocked. All demon players with over ten thousand merits, gaining the rank of Hundred Demon Captain (equivalent to the Human Race¡¯s Lieutenant), received a system message. ¨CSystem Prompt: The cross-service race national war is about to start. Heroes striving to answer the Demon King¡¯s call, please register at Demon King Hall. After registration, they were told to stand by. Where was the battlefield? When would the fight occur? The system provided no further clues, leaving all demon players at a loss. Consequently, the global hero¡¯s forum erupted, and entertainment media from various countries scrambled to gather information. The preliminary conclusion was that this was a demon all-hands war! According to the game¡¯s background for the demons¡¯ constant setting, this was the pace of demon world invasion! However, the game had only been online for less than ten days, making it hard to believe. The country agents, faced with players¡¯ overloaded customer service calls, simply replied: ¡°This is a result of the supercomputer¡¯s task process, and not an official event. The GM has no authority to alter or intervene in the game¡¯s self-running, so we ask players to await further system prompts.¡± Tokyo Akihabara, a world-famous electric town, anime town, and gaming town. At 6 am Tokyo time, the 7th floor of the Akihabara Mitsubishi Software ABC building was brightly lit. This was the headquarters of the world-renowned professional esports team, the Mitsubishi Team. Since the Mitsubishi Team acquired the Hell Gate Master and the Mobility Master, two God-level heroes of the Hell Race, the Mitsubishi Team had focused on developing the Hell Race, forming the group ¡°Rashomon.¡± This group contained thirty world-class professional players of the Hell Race, with a thousand supporting players in the periphery. It was indisputably the world¡¯s strongest professional Hell Race team. Now, Igarashi Yoshiyuki, manager of the Mitsubishi Team, convened a meeting with the thirty core members of the Rashomon group. Around the long conference table, each team member wore a sharp, black uniform with a white armband bearing the three blood-red characters of Rashomon. Despite pulling an all-nighter, these members remained sharp-eyed and energetic. Igarashi was pleased with the team members¡¯ spirit and nodded with satisfaction: ¡°Gentlemen, the reason for gathering you here now is due to recent events. Hirata, please share your thoughts.¡± Hirata Hirao, a world-renowned esports player from Japan. Game ID: Ghost Slash Left, the famous user of the God-level hero Mobility Master. A team member with nearly a shaved-head suddenly stood up, his expression grave and full of emotion: ¡°President! If I don¡¯t return soon, all my troops will die!¡± Igarashi¡¯s face darkened, and he just waved his hand: ¡°Fight, young man!¡± ¡°Yes, President!¡± Hirata bowed and hastened out of the conference room like the wind. Igarashi had no choice but to turn to the next person: ¡°Mr. Tsukamoto, present your view.¡± A team member with a pompadour stood up, looking resolute: ¡°Dominate the world! That¡¯s all!¡± Tsukamoto Hideki, game ID: Shoji, the user of the God-level hero Hell Gate Master. All team members suddenly rose, shouting: ¡°Dominate the world!¡± Igarashi, pleased, stood up and applauded: ¡°Very good! This time, the camp national war is destined to be Japan¡¯s stage. The director just called me, urging that, regardless of the battlefield or adversary, all gentlemen must give their utmost to achieve victory! Let¡¯s encourage each other!¡± All team members raised their arms, shouting: ¡°Dominate the world, give our all!¡± A new day began. The system prompt alarm woke Da Fei. He immediately jumped up, grabbed bread and milk, rushed to the bathroom, sat for 30 seconds, washed his face without brushing his teeth, and returned to the game in less than a minute, putting on his helmet, entering the game. A slew of system prompts appeared. ¨CSystem Prompt: The Blood Eagle Flute has been repaired, please collect it at the Ranger Guild. ¨CSystem Prompt: The agreed date to collect the Phantom Crossbow Cannon from Teacher Makar has arrived, please collect it at the Saint Paul Duke office. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Flying has completed repair and modification. ¨CSystem Prompt: The Elf Kingdom¡¯s Mage Group is about to arrive, please get into position. ¨CSystem Prompt: Epic Quest ¡°Purify the Pool of Radiance¡± countdown 2.4 hours, please make the final preparations. Gosh! The last day is indeed the busiest day! Da Fei first rushed straight to the Ranger Guild nearby, where he met Jilrien, who blandly said: ¡°Use it well, don¡¯t damage it!¡± Damn! He really knows how to be a boss! With the item in hand, Da Fei couldn¡¯t be bothered with further chitchat and then rushed to the teleportation array to Saint Paul Port. Under the leisurely guidance of a steward, Da Fei finally had the time to inspect this God-level treasure. ¨CBlood Eagle Flute: Auxiliary equipment, S-rank treasure. Raises the level cap of the Reconnaissance Skill by one, summons a Spiritual Eagle that shares vision with the user for scouting. (Task loan item cannot be traded, cannot drop) Loan item! Tsk! ¨CSystem Prompt: You equipped the Blood Eagle Flute, and your Reconnaissance Skill temporarily elevated to God-level! ¨CGod-level Reconnaissance Technique: Your mini-map gains radar capabilities, any moving targets within your vision will be displayed on the mini-map. Sure enough, Da Fei¡¯s mini-map was full of densely packed moving green dots, all sorts of players and city NPCs! What use does this have? Hmm? Why is the dot in front of me red? Da Fei looked up to see the guiding steward Riel. At this moment, Da Fei suddenly discovered an additional description box under his name: Riel, Vampire Leader, Attack? Defense? Life? Speed? Vampire! Da Fei was suddenly startled! How could there be a vampire? Damn, being a servant of Death Lord Makar, a vampire is no surprise, meaning under God-level Reconnaissance Technique, his true form was exposed? This God-level skill is indeed amazing! At this moment, the steward suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around abruptly. Damn, he noticed? Da Fei quickly unequipped the Blood Eagle Flute and feigned ignorance: ¡°Sir, what¡¯s the matter?¡± The steward also smiled and nodded, bowing slightly: ¡°Sorry, my bad, please continue, sir!¡± Da Fei was in a cold sweat. Damn, even a servant is so badass. This thing must not be equipped in front of Makar, just like that Voyagers¡¯ sword. Still in the Magic Library, Da Fei met again with Santa Makar: ¡°Greetings, Teacher, happy holidays!¡± Makar chuckled: ¡°You¡¯ve come just in time, the Phantom Crossbow Cannon you needed is ready for you, loaded with 100 magic crossbow arrows. They¡¯re expensive, please use them sparingly. I also have a medical tent and a siege machine as extra gifts.¡± A golden sparkling Advanced War Machine Space Bag appeared in Da Fei¡¯s hand. ¨CSystem Prompt: You received an Advanced War Machine Space Bag. ¨CSystem Prompt: You received a medical tent. ¨CSystem Prompt: You received a special war machine ¡°Phantom Crossbow Cannon¡± (Task loan item, not tradeable, will self-destruct if lost.) ¨CAdvanced War Machine Space Bag: Can carry a crossbow cannon, medical tent, and siege machine simultaneously. ¨CPhantom Crossbow Cannon: A Crossbow Cannon with added special skills ignoring Mist Barrier and special arrow features. Ignoring Mist Barrier! Just this one extra attribute makes it God-level. The difference between Crossbow Cannons and Mortal Crossbow Cannons! With it, one shot could wipe out a BOSS! Haha, hahaha! Da Fei excitedly said: ¡°Thank you, Teacher, for the generous gift!¡± But teacher, just giving a regular medical tent and siege machine is kind of embarrassing, never mind, I¡¯ve been tricked by NPCs enough, better not randomly ask for things. Makar chuckled: ¡°It¡¯s borrowed. Ready to set out with confidence?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei sighed: ¡°Teacher, you foresaw it accurately, the Elf Kingdom is indeed too naive!¡± Makar chuckled: ¡°Only tough challenges can showcase a hero¡¯s value, go forward and face the tests bravely.¡± ¡°I assure you, Teacher, I won¡¯t disappoint!¡± (Apologies, the workplace inspection this week makes it torturous for a part-time writer like me with an ashtray.) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 78 - Chapter 78: Chapter 75 The Guide from the Kingdom Chapter 78: Chapter 75 The Guide from the Kingdom Elorin Shipyard Pier, the guards were on high alert, with NPC guards forming a human wall to prevent any players from Elorin City from getting close. The unusual situation made the entire city¡¯s players curious, and they crowded outside the guard circle, discussing animatedly. ¡°It seems they¡¯re investigating the scammer Da Fei¡¯s ship?¡± ¡°Investigate? You¡¯re kidding! Weren¡¯t you online yesterday? He¡¯s got connections with the mayor helping him with ship repairs.¡± ¡°It must be that trash scammer using his swindled money to fix the ship.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that simple, why make such a big fuss for ship repairs?¡± ¡°Have you heard? Yesterday, Da Fei snatched the boss and the female hero of Bloodrose Studio, and now the whole server wants to hunt Da Fei down.¡± ¡°No wonder! I did say there¡¯s no way a male player like Da Fei could hire a nun! Offending Bloodrose is big trouble. One word from their beauty and countless player fans will chase him down.¡± ¡°Damn, this is too annoying! Trash scammer, rich and having beauties, even if the whole server hunts him, what of it? Just let him sell his account, he¡¯ll make at least 1 million to start! If a large guild buys his account, they¡¯ll clear both new and old scores in a single stroke.¡± ¡°You don¡¯t understand, the big studios are hunting him down to force him to sell.¡± At this moment, behind the crowd, a level-10 Druid player named Invincible Soldier and a level-10 Ranger named Invincible Wei were standing on their tiptoes looking towards the dock. Hearing the discussions, Invincible Wei exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Hey, Da Bing, there really are game accounts that can sell for 1 million?¡± Invincible Soldier snorted coldly, ¡°1 million? We¡¯re talking about US dollars! You think the game¡¯s riches come easily? Come on, let¡¯s get to the instance and rush to level 20. If I hadn¡¯t spent days lending money to buy you a setup, I¡¯d probably be level 20 by now.¡± Invincible Wei gave an awkward smile, ¡°Who told me to bring you food and shoutouts all these years, brother? Oh right, didn¡¯t you say we could get a seafaring permit and start trading at level 10? Why rush to level 20?¡± Invincible Soldier shook his head and sighed, ¡°Running what business at level 10! What¡¯s the point of those small ships with only 10 cargo spaces? Get to level 20, learn Hate Strike and max out Arrow Skill and Luck Skill, then you can go PK Undead Beastman players for fame and Gold Coins! With enough fame and money, just buy a medium ship with 50 cargo spaces directly! PK is the first pot of gold! Rangers are specially meant for PK¡­ Ah, you won¡¯t understand now. I¡¯ll teach you how to hunt a few people to get the hang of it, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Oh, okay.¡± ¡­¡­ At this time, the Flying was fully refurbished, and now completely covered with fluffy moss, perched in the dock, and all repair ladders had been removed. The Mage Group sent by the Kingdom was orderly arranging a Teleportation Array around the Flying¡¯s slipway. Da Fei, in the midst of a group of officials, saw the Great Elder. Although it had only been one day in real-time since they last met, it felt like a long time since. The Great Elder introduced to the following officials with a chuckle, ¡°This is the hero we have selected.¡± The officials nodded in approval, ¡°Not bad, indeed stronger than the average person.¡± Stronger than the average person? I¡¯d kick you all flying! That¡¯s nonsense! Da Fei chuckled and bowed, ¡°You flatter me, sirs.¡± With a chuckle, the elder replied, ¡°My young friend, I wasn¡¯t wrong about you. You not only accepted the purification task but also took on new challenges. I believe you have the capability, as long as you return victorious, I will strive to secure your merits. Everyone here is a witness.¡± Da Fei laughed and said, ¡°Elder, rest assured, I will not let everyone down.¡± The mayor laughed, ¡°Let me introduce someone to Mr. Da Fei. Since the new operation involves space teleportation, the Kingdom has sent over a guide proficient in arcane, Lady Anwen.¡± A lady! Looking at the petite silhouette shrouded in a black robe emerging from the crowd, her face and figure unseen, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed internally! They actually assigned a female hero to me! Mayor, you scammed me of a hundred million, but finally a twinge of conscience? Lady Anwen approached with an indifferent tone, ¡°Pleasure to work with you, sir.¡± Hearing her old and weak voice, Da Fei was suddenly shocked. No way? They wouldn¡¯t assign a Nanny Rong to me, would they? In my eyes, all Elf women are beauties! I can¡¯t imagine what an Elf Nanny Rong would look like! ¨CTask Hint: Anwen has joined your team as your temporary Vice Hero. Da Fei hurriedly opened the Vice Hero panel to check her attributes. Anwen: At the Farolan Magic Academy, Lady Anwen has seen off one cohort of students after another over the years. Although she has retired, she¡¯s not content with a leisurely life of beekeeping and gardening. She wants to make the most of her remaining years by doing something meaningful. Level: 30. Profession: Master-level Druid. Talent Specialty: Hive Queen. The hero¡¯s ¡°Swarm Disturbance¡± magic increases in damage with level and has a chance to cause blinding. Professional Specialty: Healing Rain Command Power: 400 Attack: 12 Defense: 26 Magic Power: 40 Knowledge: 58 Life: 22 Damage: 4-6 Attack Speed: 7 Move Speed: 5 Equipment: Great Druid Robe (adds 5 to Magic Power, 5 to Knowledge), Great Druid Wand (adds 10 to Magic Power) Stamina: 12 (in a state of extreme weakness) Skills: Master-level Arcane Magic, Master-level Meditation Skill, Master-level Defense Skill, Master Leadership Skill, Master Level Luck Skill, Master Level Archery, Master-level Logistics Skill. Troop Count: 100 Druids, 50 Jungle Shooters. Da Fei was shocked, his eyes widened! Can it be? An old lady! But how could there be a Level 30 old lady? How could a Level 30 hero have so many Master-level skills plus fully maxed sub-skills? Even with equipment bonuses, her attribute points are certainly not that of a Level 30 hero. And what¡¯s with this fragile 22 point Life? What does being in extreme weakness mean? Looking at Da Fei¡¯s dumbfounded expression, the Great Elder sighed deeply: ¡°It seems you¡¯ve spotted the issue, young friend. Indeed, this operation involves advanced space teleportation as well as venturing into unknown Demon Race domains, challenges not meant for young heroes. Therefore¨C disregarding her own health, Lady Anwen selflessly reduced her own level to 30 to be able to enter the barrier, all so she could join the young heroes in battle.¡± Da Fei suddenly realized! Self-castration! No way, even an NPC would do such a thing? Only players driven to extremes would resort to this. In some games, there are richly rewarding secret tasks or special instances that only low-level players can do. Thus, some high-level players, after learning the task process, will not hesitate to de-level to take on the quest¨C the so-called self-castration! In Heroic Creation Era, the penalty for de-leveling is the loss of all attribute points gained during leveling except for Skill Points, because knowledge learned does not vanish with failure. Anwen chuckled: ¡°I¡¯m old, with not much time left. I wish to do one last meaningful deed for the Kingdom in my final days, and also to clear the path for younger ones.¡± The officials exclaimed in admiration: ¡°Lady Anwen¡¯s integrity and lofty principles are something we cannot match!¡± So that¡¯s how it is! The older the ginger, the spicier! With such a powerful hero around, Brother has even greater confidence! Da Fei hurriedly bowed: ¡°I¡¯ll have to ask for more guidance from you in the future, Teacher Anwen.¡± The mayor sighed: ¡°Lady Anwen is very weak now and urgently needs to rest on the ship. That¡¯s why she won¡¯t be able to assist you with the task of purifying the Pool of Radiance.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only She wasn¡¯t a task NPC in the first place. Da Fei quickly said: ¡°For something minor like purification, I wouldn¡¯t dare to trouble Teacher Anwen. I can handle it on my own.¡± The mayor laughed: ¡°Alright, let¡¯s go aboard and take a look now. The medical room, the Deputy Officer¡¯s office, and your soldier¡¯s barracks have all been fixed. Let¡¯s allow Lady Anwen to rest properly first.¡± The officials smiled: ¡°Excellent, let¡¯s take a tour of the battle ship that the warriors will embark from.¡± (Please vote for us in all categories) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 79 - Chapter 79: Chapter 76 The Flying sets off on its journey Chapter 79: Chapter 76 The Flying sets off on its journey The group of kingdom inspection officials boarded the Flying and began their inspection and acceptance. The hull and mast of the Flying were covered in a thick layer of green moss. Though no one knew what it was, it must have something to do with the ship¡¯s resurrection. A kingdom official marveled, ¡°Truly, a warrior chosen for greatness, such a young captain for such a large ship. It¡¯s just a pity that the ship¡¯s time is almost up, so this purification mission must succeed and not fail.¡± I¡¯d kick you flying! Can you not talk nonsense? Da Fei chuckled and said, ¡°The lord is absolutely right.¡± The mayor laughed, ¡°Indeed, Mr. Da Fei, because the ship¡¯s time is nearing its end, the defense and durability limits are below alert levels. If attacked, the consequences would be unimaginable. So for this mission, the ship¡¯s craftsmen have made major modifications to the ship, converting the second layer of the cargo hold into a gun cabin. Now, Mr. Da Fei¡¯s ship has two layers of gun cabins, reducing its blind spots; it¡¯s fully armed and can blast enemies from a hundred paces away!¡± Da Fei was taken aback, modified? He hurriedly opened the ship¡¯s attribute bar to check. Ship Name: Flying (Task Reward Bound Player, Non-tradable) Captain: Da Fei Ship Special Skill: Divine¡¯s Blessing (Sailor¡¯s Luck +2) Ship Model: Large four-masted, three-deck, high-speed sailing ship. Ship Cargo Capacity: 500 units Ship Gun Cabin: 32 gun positions (Port 16, Starboard 16) Ship Usage Time: 10 years Minimal Sailor Capacity: 30 people Ship Durability 1690/1690 Ship Speed: 10 Ship Armor Defense: Port 80, Starboard 80, Bow 55, Stern 46. Ship Room Configuration: Cockpit 1, Captain¡¯s Room 1, Deputy Officer Rest Room 6, Staff Room 1, Accounting Room 1, Treatment Room 2, Kitchen 1, Special Room 1, Entertainment Room 1, Sailor Dormitory 2 (capacity 200 people) Ship Auxiliary Equipment: White Shark Ship¡¯s Figurehead, Space Transfer Array, Wind Energy Magic Sail, Landing Craft 4. Sea God Insurance Level: 0 (Ship not under Sea God¡¯s protection, will sink permanently if wrecked) Current Ship Status: Fully maintained, Cursed by Misfortune (Sailor¡¯s Luck -3). Looking at the suddenly added gun cabin, the halved cargo hold, the additional ship room configuration, and the ship¡¯s equipment list, Da Fei was speechless in excitement for a long time. So this is what the fully repaired ship looks like? So those abandoned rooms have all been revived and restored? This is far superior to the pirate ship repairs! The so-called special room must be my Banshee Camp! The mayor laughed, ¡°How does Mr. Da Fei feel? If Mr. Da Fei triumphantly returns, we can help you modify it back for free.¡± Da Fei came back to his senses and laughed heartily, ¡°Great modification! Thanks so much for the concern, Mayor!¡± NPCs can actually be not misleading sometimes! Wow, haha! Now my firepower has doubled, and my confidence is higher! More importantly, there are an extra 16 crossbow cannons, and if they wanted me to buy those myself, I¡¯d be bleeding money! The group began inspecting the deck, where an array embedded with magic gems emitted a faint light. The mayor introduced, ¡°This is the teleportation array set up for this mission; it also assists Lady Anwen¡¯s space teleportation. If you return triumphantly, this teleportation array will be yours, sir.¡± The officials laughed heartily, ¡°Warrior sir, this configuration is only granted to royal yachts and the kingdom¡¯s main battleships, so you must cherish it!¡± Catherine couldn¡¯t help but exclaim again, ¡°Wow!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows shot up in disbelief, ¡°You mean my ship can teleport?¡± The mayor laughed, ¡°That¡¯s right, but teleporting such a large ship requires immense magic power. This teleportation array runs on these few Magic Stones, and each teleportation depletes them significantly. So, you must use it sparingly. But don¡¯t worry if it runs out, just return triumphantly, and you¡¯ll be recognized as a heroic citizen of our city. You¡¯ll qualify to purchase strategic Magic Stones at the city¡¯s Magic Guild at a 20% discount.¡± The officials laughed, ¡°It¡¯s 20% off nationwide!¡± The mayor spread his hands helplessly, ¡°As much as I¡¯d love to give you a better deal, matters of the Magic Guild are out of my mayoral hands!¡± Everyone laughed heartily. Da Fei¡¯s heart raced wildly with excitement! Sales pitch, this is absolutely a sales pitch! Magic Stones are strategic materials that ordinary players can¡¯t purchase and are outrageously expensive. In the beta test, the large guild needed Magic Stones to run the teleportation array for building cities ¡ª in one word, costly! The so-called taste of sweetness, if I use it once, wouldn¡¯t I be fixated on it always? Damn it, it isn¡¯t the NPCs messing with me, it¡¯s the gaming company! At this moment, the mayor pointed up the mast, ¡°Considering that there¡¯s often no wind underground, we equipped a Magic Energy Wind Sail for this mission. Once activated, the ship will move at high speed. If you complete this task and return, you can also purchase it from the Magic Guild!¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Good! Good!¡± Damn it! Will your sales pitch ever end? Why buy it? Unless the whole world¡¯s players are out to hunt me on the sea! The mayor laughed, ¡°Gentlemen, this way to the cabins.¡± The group filed into the cabin corridors, where the entire interior was still covered in green moss, reminiscent of entering an ancient tunnel, refreshing yet disgusting. The mayor introduced each room in a lantern show fashion but deliberately ignored a room with no label. No need to say it, that must be the Banshee Camp. Damn, why not introduce it? Surely the mayor is causing trouble, as that fraudulent billion-dollar project involved me! Upon entering the lower gun cabin, a group of gunners lined up for review. ¡ª Skilled Gunner Sailor: Attack 10, Defense 10, Damage 4-9, Life 50, Attack Speed 10, Move Speed 11, Command Value 1, Special skill: Advanced War Machine Technology, Crossbow Master, Sailing Skill, Repair Skill, Sea Battle Mastery. Hire fee: 5 gold coins per day. These are the legendary versatile skilled gunners! Their attack, defense, and health levels are on par with Fourth-level Soldiers, equipped with sea battle skills, capable of matching pirate soldiers one-on-one; yet their command value is the standard of First-level Soldiers, the strongest available at the Seaport Sailor¡¯s Home, beloved by rich merchants with low command power. Moreover, they are not bound to the crew, charging 5 gold coins a day, whether the player is online or offline. Now, with 32 crossbow cannons and 32 skilled gunners, that means 160 gold coins per day, totaling 1600 gold coins for one real-world day! Damn it! They say sailor wages are high, and it¡¯s true! One Druid¡¯s service price is only 400 gold coins! Can my 30,000 gold coins last a few days? The officials were satisfied with the gunners¡¯ spirit, clapping and encouraging them. The mayor laughed, ¡°I thank the brave sailors willing to partake in this dangerous expedition. To express my respect for the warriors, I personally sponsor Mr. Da Fei¡¯s military pay with 1,000 gold coins. Mr. Da Fei, please accept!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: You received 1,000 gold coins from the mayor as a war donation. Oh, cash! I like cash, damn! Of course, you must give cash! As it¡¯s only because I played a fraud that I have over 30,000 on me; anyone else taking this task wouldn¡¯t have that much money? You scammed me with a billion-dollar project, and now you only give 1,000? The officials laughed and said, ¡°To show our respect for the warriors, we can¡¯t fall behind. Though we are all honest officials, we are unfortunately strapped for cash, but it¡¯s the thought that counts. Sir, please accept!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: You received 9,000 gold coins from kingdom inspection officials as a war donation. Oh, so you¡¯re all honest officials, I get it. Then the group inspected the cargo hold filled with ammunition, repair materials, parts, and provisions. The officials nodded approvingly, ¡°Very well, fully prepared.¡± The mayor laughed, ¡°Well, now it¡¯s the final step, the troop handover. Mr. Da Fei, please choose the troop you¡¯ll use.¡± A transaction list appeared, containing all First to Fourth-level humanoid troops from the Elf Clan. As for the Fifth to Seventh-level soldiers, being too bulky to board the ship, there was no need to consider them. No need to look at the First-level dual-dagger-wielding Wind Dancer. Among them, the Earth Shooter, known for Rain of Arrows, and Third-level Jungle Shooter, famous for high damage and precise double shots, are a formidable presence in the regular Elf Clan army. Not to mention the Fourth-level Druid, notorious as a God-level Monster. The higher the troop level, the better, but quantity also matters. Now Da Fei has 49 basic Command Power plus an intern lieutenant¡¯s 100 points, Catherine¡¯s 36 points, and after Selvia¡¯s Banshee Instructor moves into the camp, 120 Command Power is freed up. The sailors and gunners take up 62 Command Power slots in total, leaving 243 points. Second-level soldiers have 1 Command Value each, Third-level soldiers have 2, and Fourth-level soldiers have 3. The Druid¡¯s Lightning Magic is fierce, but after one battle, they usually run out of mana and have to wait until the next day for recovery, which is poor for sustained combat and encounters. Moreover, the Druid¡¯s long-range damage and the Third-level Jungle Shooter¡¯s double arrow shots are on completely different levels. Really nothing more to consider; the elder lady has many Druids, so choosing all Third-level Jungle Shooters is absolutely the right choice! If there¡¯s a mistake, it¡¯s just that none of my three heroes have Arrow Skill! ¡ª Task Hint: You received 121 Jungle Shooters. Games are games, after all; swapping troops and trading goods happens on paper. Otherwise, with a plethora of troops physically moving around, even a God-level computer host couldn¡¯t handle it. The mayor laughed, ¡°Troop handover complete!¡± The officials applauded, ¡°Send-off ceremony concluded!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: Epic Quest ¡°Purify the Pool of Radiance¡± countdown 10 minutes, please make final preparations. The mayor laughed, ¡°The array is about to be completed, warriors will soon set out, let us see the warriors off from the dock!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Alright!¡± Now, Catherine took her place in the cockpit, the gunners loaded the crossbows, sailors took their positions, 121 Jungle Shooters stood ready at the deck gunwale, and Da Fei continuously waved goodbye to the officials below. Below the ship, the Kingdom Mage Group mages began casting collectively, and the giant array beneath the Flying burst with blinding light, space began to ripple, and vision began to distort. Amidst the thunderous exclamations of the onlooking players, Flying¡¯s massive body disappeared without a trace! (Requesting all kinds of votes!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 80 - Chapter 80: Chapter 77 Entering the Pool of Radiance Chapter 80: Chapter 77 Entering the Pool of Radiance In the rumbling roar, the scene shifted, and a world of green and white appeared. ¨CBoom! The enormous body of the Flying smashed into the water, creating giant waves. Amid the violent rocking, Da Fei assessed the surrounding situation. The white was water shining with white light, the green was thick tree roots gleaming with green light. An endless water forest was formed by countless tree roots entwining. The forest stretched upwards like a giant net draped from the Underground Sky, which resembled a green starry sky, emitting a faint green glow. In the forest, there was water; in the water, there was the forest. The huge body of the Flying was like a small boat on this forest waterway. ¨CTask Hint: You have arrived at the Pool of Radiance. The epic quest ¡°Purifying the Pool of Radiance¡± officially begins. Please kill all the monsters in the Pool of Radiance. At this time, a large area of red dots on Da Fei¡¯s small map resembled dense clouds. This was the radar effect of the God-level Reconnaissance Technique. Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched in surprise. Were there really so many monsters? He quickly pulled out his telescope and scanned the tree root forest, taking a sharp breath. Countless huge beetles, as large as dogs, were crawling on the roots! Were these all monsters? ¨CJuice-sucking Demon Worm: Attack? Defense? Life? Damage? Attack Speed? Move Speed? Special Skill: Flying Creature. Damn! Never mind the power of these bugs, just their sheer number made Da Fei suspect their ammunition wouldn¡¯t outlast these beetles! And this was just this area; who knew how many more there were in other regions? Was this purification asking him to kill all these bugs cleanly? At this moment, Catherine jumped down from the cockpit, ¡°Captain, there¡¯s no wind at all. Our ship can¡¯t move! Captain, please give the next command.¡± Action? Where to? Thousands of monsters were right on the tree roots nearby, no need to move. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, since they were here, it¡¯s time to start with these bugs. Da Fei waved his hand, ¡°Prepare for battle, eliminate the insects!¡± Catherine laughed heartily, ¡°Got it!¡± In an instant, the Jungle Hunters on either side of the ship¡¯s rail began changing formation, forming a hundred-man square. ¨CJungle Hunter: Attack 6, Defense 5, Life 14, Damage 5-8, Attack Speed 13, Move Speed 13, Commander Value 2, Recruitment Price 410 Gold Coins, Special Skill: Double Shot, Piercing, Precise Shooting, Arrow Formation, Melee Penalty. This was the Level 3 Soldier Jungle Hunter, the pride of the Elf Clan, undoubtedly the strongest Level 3 Soldier. Its damage value and recruitment price rivaled those of Level 4 Soldiers. Its special skill, Double Shot, had already surpassed the damage standard of Level 4 Soldiers. In one month¡¯s production, once the Jungle Hunter attacked, it had the imposing manner of a seventh-level long-range soldier Titan. Moreover, its inherent Piercing skill made its special skill Double Shot extraordinarily effective, and Double Shot maximized the Elf Clan¡¯s high luck trait. Therefore, in battle, the Jungle Hunter¡¯s formation was like a rainbow of light rising and falling, dazzling to the eyes. Furthermore, the Jungle Hunter¡¯s high Attack Speed of 13 was every other race¡¯s long-range unit¡¯s nightmare. Even if the opponent was the neutral Mage Academy¡¯s strongest long-range soldier Titan, it was likely to be shot down by the Jungle Hunters in the first round of assault. In short, once the Jungle Hunters fought without restraint, defeat was guaranteed. However, the flaw of the Jungle Hunters was also evident; their low blood was heartbreaking, and they weren¡¯t immune to spiritual magic. Compared to Titans, with their abundant health, high defense, and full immunity, there was still a qualitative gap. Now, as the first battle was at hand, no carelessness could be allowed. Da Fei had 4 Free Skill Points left. Previously, while studying as a navigator, he learned one level of Archery; there wasn¡¯t much to say about these 4 points, they all went to upgrading Archery. ¨CSystem Prompt: You spent 1 Skill Point to learn Intermediate Arrow Skill, increasing the damage of heroes and long-range units by 20%. ¡­ ¨CSystem Prompt: You spent 1 Skill Point to learn Master-Level Archery, increasing the damage of heroes and long-range units by 50%. Of course, apart from the Elven Academy¡¯s three long-range units where archery was a required course, other races¡¯ long-range units were rare and not powerful; learning archery wasn¡¯t worthwhile. But when Archery reached Master level, it could combine with Master-level War Machine Science, and the sub-skill Crossbow Master to create a new machine-learning sub-skill: Triple Crossbow! ¨CTriple Crossbow: After mastering precise archery, heroes gain insight to maximize the function of the crossbow cannon, firing three arrows in one shot. The cost is that the durability of the crossbow cannon will continue to decrease. (Note: Sub-skill combinations require both disciplines¡¯ main skills to reach Master level to appear. How can you play with interdisciplinary combinations without graduating from any current disciplines?) So, for machinery flows, Archery still had its uses. From this perspective, the Elf Clan was actually well-suited for the human¡¯s common Crossbow Gun Turtle Formation, where a circle of long-range units surrounded the crossbow cannons, and melee units, especially Unicorns immune to magic melee, surrounded the long-range units, firing happily. Whether in terms of firepower or protection, it was much stronger than the humans. However, this would sacrifice the Elf Clan¡¯s mobility advantage, which was absolutely more of a loss than a gain for the Elf Clan. Similarly, for the Hell Race with only one Banshee long-range unit and extremely dependent on crossbow cannons for the opening strategy, Archery was quite a dilemma. Now, with the skill in place, the arrow formation was ready, and the arrows were strung. As a master, Da Fei certainly wouldn¡¯t recklessly shoot all the arrows, fearing that the enemy would suddenly charge. In the game, due to the high-speed movement easily dodging attacks, flying troops, especially small high-speed flying troops, were almost unsolvable for conventional forces. Once encountered, to achieve no damage, aim carefully with an accurate shot! Otherwise, flying troops wouldn¡¯t give long-range units a chance to reload. Moreover, insects often have the attribute of gang fighting, so the current task was to lure them out. Da Fei instructed a Jungle Hunter beside him to shoot at a beetle on the tree root. Swoosh swoosh! Two arrows left the string, -5! The beetle burst open with a splash of white juice. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your unit killed a juice-sucking beetle. You gained 4 Experience Points. ¨CSystem Prompt: You gained incomplete information on the juice-sucking beetle. Damn! Such a weakling with 5 blood points! And at the moment the beetle was killed, all the beetles on and behind the tree roots were alarmed! Hundreds and thousands of beetles flew over in a dark mass! Indeed, they had the gang fighting attribute! A golden light descended from the sky! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero, Selvia, cast the master-level Light Magic ¡°Righteous Power¡± on your troops, increasing their attack by 15. The magic duration is 1 game day. Da Fei waved his hand, ¡°Shoot!¡± Boom boom! Two layers of arrow rain shot out, looking like white fireworks blooming in the air. The insect swarm burst under the piercing of the arrow rain. With the hero¡¯s attack attribute and skill magic bonus, the Jungle Hunters¡¯ damage more than doubled! Especially Katrina, leading 18 hunters with her all-attack pirate command, flipped the damage by five or six times! With such high damage, piercing through five or six beetles with one arrow was easy! This was the desired effect! If they directly ambushed the beetles on the tree roots, not only would they not achieve large-scale damage, but they would also provoke the beetles behind the tree roots. Wouldn¡¯t that be caught off guard? The first battle was easily won, and Da Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. The tree roots cleared of beetles leaked a milky-white liquid like sieve holes. However, looking at the beetles¡¯ weak blood defense attributes, like those of farmers, and then looking at the mass of red clouds on the small map, Da Fei felt something was very wrong. Was this task really about clearing these bugs? And this was just a nearby area, which was only a tiny part of the Pool of Radiance map. Did they have enough ammunition for the entire ship? Plus, there certainly wouldn¡¯t just be these weak beetles, right? How long would it take to clear all the bugs from the entire map? And now, with no wind, the ship wasn¡¯t moving; they had to use the Magic Sail? Would the sail¡¯s magic be enough for Da Fei to clean the area with one go around? Da Fei felt a sharp pain in his gut! He had assumed that with a powerful hero and a giant cannon, defeating some BOSS monsters would be a piece of cake, and a mere epic quest would be no big deal. But it turned out to be such a situation? If his ship were a pirate¡¯s mast rowing ship, it would be better; now what? It¡¯s more helpless to not be able to use power and more unbearable not to be able to finish using power! As he pondered, a buzzing sound came from the sky, and Da Fei immediately became alert! Again, it was beetles! Hundreds of them flew in from somewhere and pounced on the tree roots just cleared, sucking again! Damn! Don¡¯t tell me these beetles are unlimited? If that¡¯s the case, this is clearly telling Da Fei that the task¡¯s key wasn¡¯t to kill these small beetles! Instead, he had to destroy the insect nest? That¡¯s it! Once Da Fei figured it out, he pulled out the Blood Eagle Flute and selected ¡°use.¡± An invisible, misty Flying Eagle soared into the air; in a moment, Da Fei¡¯s small map shrank again, becoming a sea of red. Damn, relying on the small map was getting less and less useful; better to share the vision with the Flying Eagle. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei controlled the Flying Eagle, heading in the direction the insects came from, experiencing the scenery rushing up like flying in an airplane. The treasure was too useful! Damn, I really wouldn¡¯t want to return it! Finally, he found it! A massive, wriggling tumor entwined by tree roots with countless tendrils and countless flesh holes, where innumerable beetles flew in and out! Damn, that¡¯s so disgusting, this must be it! Just wait, I¡¯ll destroy you! (The Command Power was calculated wrong yesterday, it¡¯s corrected now. Apologies for the busy unit inspection this week.) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 81 - Chapter 81: Chapter 78: The Plight of the Dragon Slayer Guild Chapter 81: Chapter 78: The Plight of the Dragon Slayer Guild ¡°Audience friends, good morning! Hero News is with you again. Today, we have connected by phone with the highest level player from the Hell Race in the China Region, the professional Hell Race player from Dragon Slayer Guild, Lei Ren. Please, Mr. Lei Ren, share your thoughts on the upcoming National War between races.¡± ¡°Hehe, hello host, just call me Lei Ren, my friends. Hello everyone, I¡¯m Lei Ren from Dragon Slayer Guild, my gaming ID is Lei Huolong, level 27. I¡¯m very excited and thrilled to be here with all of you. Regarding the National War, I¡¯ve received the same information as other Hell players in different regions, which is to stand by.¡± Host: ¡°So, what does Lei think this is all about?¡± Lei Ren laughed and said: ¡°I¡¯m really sorry, this situation happened so suddenly, I was still asleep when I found out about it. It seems like all the Demon Players around the world are stunned, including myself, and we can only wait for further prompts from the system.¡± Host giggled: ¡°Once the National War breaks out, what are the plans for Dragon Slayer Guild?¡± Lei Ren chuckled: ¡°Dragon Slayer Guild mainly focuses on developing the Undead Race, so there isn¡¯t much part for the Hell Race in it. Hence, whether the National War happens or not, won¡¯t cause much change to the Guild¡¯s progress. However, as for myself, I will definitely fight for the glory of our country.¡± Host laughed: ¡°This morning, we received a video from players at Elorin Port in the Elf Kingdom. Player Da Fei¡¯s ship disappeared after being teleported by a group of NPC Mages. Does this event have anything to do with the National War?¡± Lei Ren forced a smile: ¡°I have no idea, nothing about the National War has been mobilized by the Bright Alliance.¡± Host chuckled dryly: ¡°Thank you, Lei Ren, for cooperating with our interview. Lei Ren, we look forward to your outstanding performance during the National War.¡± Lei Ren smiled: ¡°I feel very sorry for not providing more information to the audience friends. I will do my best during the National War, goodbye everyone.¡± Host: ¡°Alright, now let¡¯s turn our attention to the recent situation of the famous domestic studio, Bloodrose Studio. This is still about the incident that happened last night. Bloodrose Studio sent out two hundred players to attack a certain NPC distillery at Saint Paul Port, and it seems the cause of the event is still related to player Da Fei¡­¡± ¡­ Dragon Slayer Network Entertainment Company. Lei Ren reported to his boss, Ma Yinglong, with a sullen face: ¡°Boss! I finally got on TV for a while, and yet I had to play the fool. Now the whole nation probably thinks I¡¯m an idiot!¡± Ma Yinglong said gravely: ¡°Someone has to play the fool, and if you don¡¯t do it, do you expect me, the boss, to play that part? Now, focus on mobilizing general players and keep an eye on task developments, report to me at all times, and don¡¯t take any action without permission!¡± Lei Ren nodded: ¡°Understood.¡± Ma Yinglong¡¯s eyebrows were tightly knitted as he fell into deep thought. While all the Demon Players in the world were standing by in confusion, Lei Ren, as the top Demon Player in the China Region, not only received special information but also received the Epic Quest ¡°Attack the Pool of Radiance!¡± ¡°We have received uncertain intelligence that the Elf Kingdom has dispatched a Super Hero to purify the corruption of the World Tree, and they have even discovered our Abyss Blood Pool. Their Super Hero is even attempting to attack the Abyss Blood Pool. If their so-called Super Hero really has the ability to purify the Pool of Radiance, this will be an extremely unfavorable battle for us. We cannot provide strong support to the Abyss Blood Pool that is protected by the barrier, we must summon more reinforcements from different Planes. Defensive warfare is never the style of us Demons; our doctrine is to attack! Attack is the best defense! Our battlefield is the Pool of Radiance. We must not only stop the so-called Super Hero¡¯s attack but also take the opportunity to eradicate the roots of the World Tree! Teach those arrogant and foolish Elves the consequences of opposing us Demons! You, as the most outstanding and powerful hero of Shergo, must take on the responsibility of leading the joint army, or we will choose a new hero to replace you! The Space Gate is about to open, get ready! The Demon God grants you power!¡± The battlefield for the National War is in the China Region! The time and location of the National War are only known by Lei Ren and a few senior members of Dragon Slayer Guild. This is quite a troublesome issue! A National War happening anywhere wouldn¡¯t be a big deal; everyone could join the excitement or fight valiantly. But, happening exclusively in the China Region, that¡¯s a significant issue. It would give Chinese players the feeling of a Multi-National Joint Army attacking China, which is emotionally unacceptable, not to mention the involvement of the extremely sensitive Japan, the nature of this National War is absolutely going to turn sour! Whether in sports or competition, it often extends the reality situation, often being interpreted by citizens and the media in various ways. So, where should the Demon Race players from the China Region go? What should Dragon Slayer Guild, who received the Epic Quest, do? Follow the game rules and join foreign players to attack their own country¡¯s Pool of Radiance? That¡¯s utterly suicidal! That¡¯s being a traitor, a lackey, which means Dragon Slayer Guild will lose all its popularity and collapse immediately. So should the Dragon Slayer Guild just give up the epic quest for the so-called ¡°nationalistic duty¡± and lead all the Demon Race players nationwide in a united resistance? That¡¯s nonsense! It¡¯s just a game, what nationalistic duty! What does an epic quest entail? Successful completion often rewards attribute points, skill points, special abilities, bases for special soldiers, and even directly rewarding a territory is quite normal! Once completed it signifies the birth of a Super Hero! That way, the Dragon Slayer Guild, which mainly attacks the Undead Race, will see their weak spot, the Hell Race, rise to power, and the Guild¡¯s development can advance on both fronts, the long-term benefits are immeasurable. How could they abandon their martial prowess for the nonsensical ¡°nationalistic duty¡± in a game? So, a compromise would be for the Dragon Slayer Guild to first devote all efforts to resisting the ¡°foreign invaders,¡± win the applause of players nationwide to gain popularity, and somehow drive the Multi-nation Joint Army out of the China Region, then they could declare victory! By then, they can play the game quietly, take down the Pool of Radiance, and complete the epic quest. The Pool of Radiance in China Region can only be destroyed by Demon Players from the China Region, which players should not object to. But, after all, it¡¯s just a plan, and the formidable Japan is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed no matter what. The task hints, ¡°If you cannot bear the responsibility of leading the joint army, a new hero will replace you,¡± meaning that if Japan takes control of the battlefield, Lei Ren¡¯s epic quest will be taken away! At that time, it would be a huge loss, not only losing the epic quest but also carrying the shame of being unable to resist the invaders, which would also decrease the Guild¡¯s popularity. What to do? Negotiate with them? After all, the Dragon Slayer Guild has already established a cooperative relationship with the Mitsubishi Team, so negotiation is possible, right? That won¡¯t work either. Time changes, and the weak ultimately have no bargaining power. From Ma Yinglong¡¯s experience dealing with the Japanese, they are ruthless and would rather choose a new partner in China than agree to the requests of the Dragon Slayer Guild. Considering the natural alliance between Japan and the United States in reality, the American Zone would definitely support Japan with all their might. Once Japan knows where the battlefield is, definitely Japan will immediately pull in the United States and India for a joint effort, and there would be no place for others to have a say. So, this secret can only be kept for surprise attacks, as only then there might be a glimmer of hope. Where lies the opportunity? Aren¡¯t we missing a key figure? Who is the so-called Super Hero leading the Elf quest? NPC or player? If it¡¯s a player, then who could it be? In an instant, Ma Yinglong recalled the teleportation incident in Elorin that morning. Looking at the entire China Region, the only one who could pull off such a stunt was him. Could it be him? For a moment, Ma Yinglong felt a wave of frustration. Dealing with a swindler, and particularly one whose name he despised, was never pleasant. The phrase ¡°better to give to an ally than to your own household servant¡± came to mind, and Ma Yinglong would rather deal with the Japanese than with a lying nobody. Of course, that was contingent on confirming that he was indeed the so-called Super Hero. ¡­ Pool of Radiance. At this moment, Super Hero Da Fei, while in pain, had to use the Magic Energy Wind Sail, and once he discovered the flesh tumor, he immediately lowered the sail to conserve energy. It wasn¡¯t until he got close that Da Fei realized the flesh tumor was far beyond his imagination, wrapping around the thick roots of the World Tree, an absolute mountain of flesh! It was at least ten times larger than the Flying! Did this flesh mountain have any defensive trump cards? Anyway, since we¡¯re here, we have to fight. The Flying positioned itself sideways, opening all sixteen doors of its Crossbow Cannons. Just thinking of the splendor of sixteen Crossbow Cannons firing at the same time got Da Fei so excited he couldn¡¯t contain himself! ¨C¡°Fire!¡± ¨CBoom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Crossbow Cannons roared in unison, the ship trembled violently, rows of Crossbow Arrows whistled through the air like Rocket Launchers, and with a series of splats, a bloodbath ensued! Da Fei excitedly shouted: ¡°Awesome!¡± The flesh mountain issued a piercing scream that echoed through the Underground Space. In that moment, the beetles on the surrounding roots moved! The red clouds on the mini-map erupted with deafening roars, coming at the Flying from all directions! Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened in shock. Stirred up a hornet¡¯s nest! Without a second thought, he shouted, ¡°Run! Everyone hide in the cabin!¡± wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Chapter 79: The Gains and Losses of the First Battle Chapter 82: Chapter 79: The Gains and Losses of the First Battle The pitch-black cloud of insects made a huge roaring sound, swarming towards the Flying from all directions. The sailors and Jungle Hunters on the deck of the Flying rushed into the cabin corridors in panic. For a moment, it was like a million soldiers crossing a single-log bridge, crowding at the entrance of the cabin. ¡°Damn it!¡± Da Fei cursed anxiously, commanding dozens of hunters to turn back and shoot. Another wave of golden light descended from the sky. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia has cast the Master-level Light Magic ¡°Power of Tenacity¡± on your troops, increasing their Defense by +15. The swarm arrived in an instant, and the crowded people were submerged among the insects. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia has cast the Master-level Light Magic ¡°Vitality Regeneration¡± on your troops, restoring 15% of their Life Value every 10 seconds. Da Fei knocked a small insect flying with his spear, exclaiming, ¡°Selvia, hurry into the cabin!¡± The current situation could only hope that these weak little insects couldn¡¯t chew through his troops. ¡ª-System Prompt: One of your Jungle Hunters has been killed by an Elite Demon Worm! Da Fei was suddenly shocked! There were indeed elite troops! ¡ª-System Prompt: One of your Jungle Hunters has been killed by an Elite Demon Worm! Another one dead! Da Fei¡¯s heart was bleeding! Finally, all troops entered the cabin, and Da Fei, the last one back, immediately turned around and shut the cabin door. The troops in the corridor began to kill the beetles that had followed into the hallway. Outside the cabins, the swarm of beetles hit the cabin doors and hull like hail, making a deafening pounding sound! Damn it! Ships and walls are considered building attributes by the system, and units with building attributes have increased Defense against light weapons, so normally, enemies won¡¯t attack buildings. There¡¯s only one explanation for this situation¨Cthe enemy¡¯s Commander has used a forceful attack command! Then kill the Commander! Da Fei shouted, ¡°Fire the cannons! Don¡¯t stop!¡± ¡ª-Boom! Boom! Up and down rows of Crossbow Arrows whizzed out, the flesh mountain burst like a punctured bag full of wounds, with hundreds of blood fountains gushing out! The experienced gunner sailors with 10 Attack and 10 Defense, a total of 20 attribute points, have the Crossbow Cannon attribute augmented to 20 Attack by Advanced War Machine Technology, with Basic Damage of 5-6, a total damage of 100-120, a 100% damage increase at 20 Attack equates to 200-240, and the Crossbow Master skill allowing two shots totals 400-480. My own Crossbow damage is sky-high, needless to calculate, the other 15 gunners deal a total damage of 6000-7200 in one round! Such high total damage would instantly kill a typical BOSS in one round. I don¡¯t care how thick your flesh mountain¡¯s Defense is, even if it¡¯s several hundred and can reduce damage by 90%, you still can¡¯t withstand several rounds of bombardment! (Note: When Attack is less than Defense, the final damage= Basic Killing / (1+ (Attack-Defense difference x 5%)); according to this formula, a 20-point difference reduces damage by 50%; a 200-point difference reduces damage by 91%, a 500-point difference reduces damage by 96.2%. Only a steel wall could reach 500 points of Defense, large ships generally have a Defense between 100-200 points) Finally, under another round of volley firing from the Crossbow Cannons, the massive flesh mountain let out a miserable howl and collapsed thunderously. The collapsing flesh and blood fell into the Pool of Radiance, burst into sizzling hot white smoke, boiling the entire water area as if it had fallen into a pool of strong acid. ¡ª-System Prompt: You have destroyed the Demon Worm Nest, gaining +100,000 Experience! ¡ª- System Prompt: You have further collected and perfected the information related to the Demon Worm Nest. At this moment, the swarm lost its Commander, and the beetles also stopped ramming the ship, wandering outside the cabin for a moment before flying back to the roots to continue working. Da Fei finally took a long breath of relief. Now, let¡¯s check the losses, the ship¡¯s Durability has been gnawed down by the swarm of ants like elephants gnawing away more than three hundred, leaving only 1324. The encounter just now cost 7 Jungle Hunters. For the expensive and scarce Elf troops, this can definitely be considered a heavy loss. However, it doesn¡¯t matter, my little treasure¡¯s Master-level Light Magic will definitely perform Resurrection Technique. Da Fei found Serbia, who at this moment looked exhausted, her pristine Nun costume stained and dirty, Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Are you badly hurt?¡± Serbia shook her head and sighed, ¡°I¡¯m not seriously injured, but I have run out of Mana, I¡¯m afraid I can¡¯t resurrect the fallen soldiers.¡± In the game, bodies cannot stay overnight, after the night even gods cannot resurrect them. However, compared to merely a few soldiers, the state of the hero is the most important. Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°It¡¯s okay, hurry and go rest and sleep!¡± Serbia sighed, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, my skills are not adequate.¡± Da Fei patted her petite shoulder: ¡°It¡¯s my mistake in command, anyway, hurry up and rest to recover your Mana for tomorrow¡¯s battle.¡± ¡°Alright, I will definitely try my best tomorrow.¡± In the game, the Light system¡¯s support Spells and the Dark Element¡¯s curse spells can affect the entire army; the more troops affected, the greater the Mana consumed, and the specific calculation between the number of troops and Mana consumption involves quite complex logarithmic functions ¨C players only need to know that the more Mana, the better. Today Serbia released three group spells, particularly the Mana-intensive Healing Magic-Life Regeneration, her 200 points of Mana with 20 points of knowledge were indeed not sufficient. Generally, a Priest-type hero in a large-scale battle will only cast two or three major spells, and one major spell can often change the course of the battle, like the Righteous Power +15 Attack, which means a 75% damage increase, equivalent to having an additional Master-level Attack Skill. The remaining Mana should be saved for Resurrection Technique. Therefore, knowledge is always the primary attribute for a priest. But Magic Power is equally important; it affects the duration of Spells and the number of troops that can be resurrected. Thus, a priest can never prioritize attribute points on Attack and Defense. After sending the little treasure to the resting room, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply, this isn¡¯t how a battle should be fought. The first battle was a loss; in the next battle, just don¡¯t send troops on deck, but the ship¡¯s Durability can¡¯t withstand it! A single battle lost 300 Durability, how many more battles can I fight? Clearly, there are dozens of these giant sea insect nests! Speaking of which, this Epic Quest is only achievable because I¡¯m so powerful, with my large ships and giant cannons I could easily knock down these nests with tens of thousands of life value. But if another player received this quest, how would they even fight? This quest can¡¯t possibly be designed specifically for players with large ships, right? How could a level 30 player have a large ship? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only It seems Epic Quests are not so simple; it¡¯s not just a matter of having good equipment and overpowering the challenge, like Makar¡¯s Epic Quest, it certainly requires a clever strategy. This task surely has a trick to it! During these reflections, the meat hill on the roots all collapsed under corrosion, amidst the steaming white fog, a large building of the Elf Clan, wrapped by the meat hill, was revealed. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched, that was¨Cthe building for recruiting level 0 Elf troops, the Flower Demon! (Please vote for all kinds of tickets) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 83 - Chapter 83: Chapter 80: The Entangled Flower Demon and Banshee Chapter 83: Chapter 80: The Entangled Flower Demon and Banshee ¡ª-Flower Demon: Attack 0, Defense 0, Damage 1-2, Life 2, Attack Speed 13, Command Value 0, Special Skill: Gardener, Flying Creature, Swarm Disturbance, Flower Pollen Strike, Ancient Tree Coexistence, Unable to Mobilize. The Flower Demon, also known as the Flower Fairy, is a small, female spiritual creature with two pairs of dragonfly wings at her back, scattering light specks as she flies, often encountered as a beautiful elf in fairy tales. A Level 0 unit of the Elf Clan, the strongest Level 0 unit in the game, the most abnormal Level 0 unit in the game! Her multitude of special skills can blind players¡¯ in-app purchase-loving eyes! If not for the Level 0 unit¡¯s setting of being only producible for city defense and not deployable, in the hands of experts, the Flower Demon¡¯s combat power would completely crush other races¡¯ second and third-level soldiers! Why? Because she is the only low-level troop that knows the attack magic ¡°Swarm Disturbance¡±! Although Swarm Disturbance itself doesn¡¯t cause much damage, its greatest feature is blinding, and even though the chance of blinding isn¡¯t high, given the Flower Demon¡¯s massive numbers, her enemies would be extremely frustrated. Since Level 0 units¡¯ combat role is city defense, then in defense battles, the greatest role of the Flower Demon is the special skill ¡°Ancient Tree Coexistence,¡± which means continuously healing Level 6 Elf Clan Tree Spirits. Tree Spirits and Undead Race¡¯s Black Knights are both acclaimed as almost Level 7 troops, Tree Spirits for their Blood Defense, Black Knights for their lethality. Moreover, Tree Spirits have a more terrifying special skill, Entangling Roots, immobilizing any enemy hit by Tree Spirits with tree roots. This special skill cannot be dispelled by any magic. Therefore, enemies entangled by Tree Spirits can only fight a battle of attrition with the high-defense, thick-skinned Tree Spirits, while Flower Demons keep healing the Tree Spirits; how could you fight this? So it¡¯s said, though the Elf Clan isn¡¯t a heavily armored defensive race, the Elf City is definitely the toughest to take, thanks to the formidable partnership of Tree Spirits and Flower Demons. And Tree Spirits move slow and don¡¯t fit the Elf Clan¡¯s mobile combat style, usually reserved for defense. Thus, whenever attempting to surprise attack the Elf City, one will always see this astounding golden duo. The Elf City is the hardest to raid. Notably, while the production of any unit of the Elf Clan is low, the output of only Flower Demons and Tree Spirits is drastically high, outshining all other races. After all, the Elf Clan excels at planting flowers and trees, further increasing the difficulty of attacking the Elf City. In short, the Elf Clan is very strong, extremely strong, with its first 5 levels of troops being better than their human counterparts by a level grade, with quantity being their only constraint from conquering the world. ¡­ Now, Da Fei carefully observed the decrepit and rotten Flower Demon camp through the telescope, confirming that the camp was unusable. It meant the Pool of Radiance had once been the Flower Demon¡¯s home, and this flesh tumor so-called invasion was to occupy the Flower Demon camp? So, now that I have blasted the flesh mountain away, what¡¯s the purpose of an unusable camp appearing in the mission scenario? Repair the camp? This idea seems genuinely feasible; players repair the camp, assembling a large army of Flower Demons requiring no Command Power, no recruitment costs, then have the Flower Demon army deal with these beetles, problem solved. Exactly! This is the true solution to the task! Otherwise, how could a player possibly clear out this overwhelming swarm of beetles? The question is, how to repair it? Da Fei fell into deep thought again. As he pondered, Da Fei¡¯s mind conjured up a scene of a flock of Flower Fairies draped only in leaves covering their critical parts, fluttering around the water pool and entangling tree roots, scattering beautiful shimmering specks, playfully chasing and frolicking about. Where did those Flower Fairies go? Were they all killed by the Demon Worm invasion? Or did some survivors hide away? Indeed, there must be survivors! How else could players repair the camp? Da Fei took out the Blood Eagle Flute, preparing to conduct reconnaissance once more. ¡ª-System Prompt: You have already used a treasure today, please use it tomorrow. Uh, only able to use it once a day? So genuinely frustrating. What to do now? Damn it, should I sail the expensive Magic Energy Wind Sail all over the world looking for surviving Flower Demons? Or row around aimlessly in the spare landing boat like a headless chicken? What if I¡¯m swarmed again? The big ship allows you to hide in the cabin, but the small boat would be doomed! In summary, having suffered once, without a target and assurance, I shouldn¡¯t act recklessly, waiting for the treasure to recover tomorrow for more reconnaissance. Then, another issue arose, how would other players tackle this epic quest if they received it? Others couldn¡¯t have been as strong as me to explode the flesh mountain to discover the camp and this task¡¯s critical point, right? Others wouldn¡¯t have the God-level Reconnaissance Technique of the Blood Eagle Flute to scout everywhere, right? Others, receiving the task, have neither force nor reconnaissance ability, how would they start? Da Fei thought for a long time without a clue. Damn it! As a top player, with powerful ships and cannons at hand, and God-level skills, I¡¯m somehow no better than other players? This truly is an extraordinarily frustrating matter. Still, with Flower Demons on the brain, suddenly thought of Banshees! Right, haven¡¯t even had the time to check out the newly constructed barracks, just lost 7 soldiers and need to replenish forces. Truly wise, knowing losses were inevitable in missions, thus sparing no expense in building the barracks; replenishing forces first. Da Fei arrived at the special room without a door number, opened the room, and a Space Gate resembling an instance entrance appeared before him. Wahahaha! They actually installed an instance on my ship! Nothing more to say, enter! With a change of scenery, Da Fei found himself in a magnificent palace of classical Gothic style, pink curtains draping the walls, a giant Hexagram Formation at the center of the hall, the palace filled with a weird fragrance of sulfur that made one¡¯s head spin. This was the Banshee Camp! Indeed filled with a seductive atmosphere! Who constructed this? The Grand Mages did? Wahahaha, worthy of Grand Mages, building hellish architecture is no issue for them! ¡°Hehehehe! Welcome, Master!¡± Deirdre wiggled her milk-white waves, twisting her milk-white midriff, walking with cat-like grace in her milk-white thighs, giggling coquettishly as she approached: ¡°Master! Is there anything you need?¡± Da Fei was moved to tears! At last, she revealed her true form! No more¨Cno no no! Da Fei vigorously shook his head, striving to erase Nanny Rong¡¯s figure from his mind! But, some things are so unfortunate, the less you think about them, the more they spring up! My self-control is insufficient! Knowing her power, Da Fei dared not flirt, for now, the situation was dire, it was crucial to handle business. Da Fei chuckled and said, ¡°I want to recruit a Banshee Army!¡± Once discussing business, Deirdre¡¯s expression grew serious: ¡°There are currently two soldier summoning slots in the barracks, Master needs a total of 700 gold coins.¡± As a Level 4 unit, a Banshee costs only 350 gold coins each, while Jungle Hunters, as Level 3 soldiers, cost 410 gold each; what a massive loss this battle incurred! Da Fei sighed inwardly, nodding: ¡°Recruit.¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You spent 700 gold coins to begin recruiting Banshee units! The Hexagram Formation in the palace briefly flashed red, as a dark red-skinned, horned, hooved Banshee emerged, laughing gleefully. Alas, this was an ordinary Banshee, truly no match in appearance compared to Deirdre, who infinitely approaches the look of a human woman Boss. If all the Banshees were like Deirdre, one cannot imagine how many players would queue up to join the Hell Race. No way around it, rumors say the original Banshee art design was quite stunning, but the developers in the China Region strongly opposed, unleashing a mighty censor that enveloped the world. Then, the Hexagram Formation continued to glow red, while Deirdre cast spells before the formation with a furrowed brow. Da Fei sensed something was off, no reason this should be slow, right? Finally, Deirdre exerted a bit more effort, the formation flashed, and the second Banshee sauntered out late! Upon her emergence, Da Fei and Deirdre were stunned! This was a Banshee half-shorter than normal and who astonishingly lacked a chest! ¡ª-A minor Banshee: Attack 0, Defense 0, Damage 0-1, Life 1, Attack Speed 5, Special Skill: Flying Creature. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei was dumbfounded, then suddenly exclaimed, ¡°No way! What¡¯s going on? How is there an underage Banshee? And it cost me 350 gold coins!!!¡± Deirdre was in a state of terrified dismay: ¡°Master! I don¡¯t know! An underage Banshee unexpectedly responded to the barracks summoning, this is the first time this has ever happened!¡± What the heck! This intentionally set to frustrate me! (Requesting all kinds of votes!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 84 - Chapter 84: Chapter 81: Training Banshee Scouts Chapter 84: Chapter 81: Training Banshee Scouts Looking at Deirdre¡¯s fearful expression, Da Fei felt a surge of affection. Even if there was a mistake, it was my mistake. How could I blame you? Da Fei took the opportunity to pull Deirdre into his arms, calming her anxious heart and sighing, ¡°It¡¯s okay, it¡¯s definitely not your fault. After all, the first Banshee was normal.¡± Deirdre leaned on Da Fei¡¯s shoulder and quickly nodded, trying to please him, ¡°Thank you, Master! I felt unexpectedly strong resistance when recruiting troops, something I have never encountered before!¡± Da Fei took a deep breath of her fragrance, wondering why, despite the severe error, he felt so happy. Happiness was good! Happiness filled him with confidence; now was the time to investigate the truth. There was no need to mention the first Banshee, as it was naturally given by the system when the camp was completed. This was part of the camp¡¯s design. Just like the Anemone King Camp, once completed, it instantly had one unit in reserve. Since the first Banshee was a normal Banshee, it meant there was nothing wrong with the camp; it wasn¡¯t a defective structure. Da Fei asked, ¡°Where do you think the resistance came from?¡± Deirdre replied, ¡°The first resistance was, of course, opening the Space Gate between hell and here, which was no problem. The second resistance is the location of our camp. Our camp is situated inside the Otherworld created by the Mages. To transmit troops over, we must break through this layer of resistance. It¡¯s a bit more strenuous than usual, but if I push harder, it¡¯s manageable. Then I encountered a third type of resistance, which was incredibly strong.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped, ¡°Could it be the World Tree Barrier?¡± Deirdre neither confirmed nor denied, ¡°Our Banshee Race differs from other combat-type Demons; we don¡¯t transmit our physical bodies to the Otherworld, but instead transmit our Demon Souls, using the Summoner¡¯s Mana to reassemble our bodies upon arrival. It¡¯s precisely because our physical bodies are illusionary that we possess the special skill of transformation. If a Banshee¡¯s Demon Soul is overly depleted during transmission, it¡¯s possible to fail, and that might explain the current situation, though I¡¯ve never heard of such a case. It¡¯s just a hypothesis.¡± I see! Da Fei recalled that night, or rather, last night, when Bloodrose Studio summoned the Banshee boss and that cloud of red mist. This must be the Demon Soul of the Banshee. Demon Souls are extremely fragile without physical bodies and might easily encounter errors during transmission. It must have been the World Tree Barrier! There¡¯s no escaping that! So what now? Should I sail outside the barrier to summon troops? Wait, outside the barrier? Outside the barrier! Suddenly, an idea flashed in Da Fei¡¯s mind! He seemed to grasp a faint clue. Deirdre continued, ¡°But, Master, don¡¯t be disheartened. Although we only summoned an underaged one, there¡¯s a benefit to being underage. Her skills aren¡¯t set, and she has growth potential. If I personally train and educate her, given time, she might possibly grow into a useful asset.¡± Da Fei was shocked, his eyebrows jumping again, ¡°Growth potential? Train and educate?¡± Deirdre laughed awkwardly, ¡°It might take some time and effort, but I¡¯m idle anyway. At the very least, I can¡¯t waste Master¡¯s Gold Coin!¡± A sudden idea rushed into Da Fei¡¯s mind! Da Fei beckoned this tender little Banshee closer to scrutinize her! This is something any normal man would do, right? Da Fei asked, ¡°She seems to fly?¡± Deirdre laughed, ¡°Yes, most Demons can fly in their juvenile phase. Once they mature, their weight increases, and their bodies grow into a form unsuitable for flight. Their wings become ornaments. But I¡¯m different, I¡¯m a top-notch among the Banshees!¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Of course you are.¡± Actually, I can train troops too! How to train? ¨CExpert-level Reconnaissance Skill: Increases the hero¡¯s vision range by 80%, allows viewing the opponent hero¡¯s equipment from afar, and allows training of the Scout type in the hero¡¯s castle. Scout: Level 1 unit, Attack 0, Defense 0, Life 10, Damage 0-1, Attack Speed 10, Move Speed 15, Command Value 1, Special Skills: Advanced Reconnaissance Skill, Stealth, Independent Expedition. Training cost: 500 Gold Coin (most expensive Level 1 unit). In other words, once a player learns Expert-level Reconnaissance Skill and owns their own castle, they can train blank NPC citizens into Scouts. Training prerequisite: blank NPC with no skills! Not mentioning Advanced Reconnaissance Skill and Stealth, as they have been mentioned many times before. Independent Expedition means this troop type can go to a destination for reconnaissance without a hero leading it. Training costs 500 Gold Coin, matching the recruitment standard for Level 5 troops! And don¡¯t you dare complain about the cost! Note the training prerequisite: a blank NPC with no skills! A skilled NPC is considered fixed and has no growth potential anymore. But in life, who doesn¡¯t know a few skills? Even a farmer would know Taxation Skill! Not to mention that Taxation Skill was a Divine Skill. Finding a truly skill-less blank NPC among a whole city of NPC citizens isn¡¯t easy! Useless is indeed useful! That¡¯s right, Da Fei¡¯s idea was whether this underage Banshee could be trained into a Scout. Currently, he was unable to conduct reconnaissance himself. If he could train a flying Banshee Scout, wouldn¡¯t that be amazing? However, the key issue now was, can a troop type be considered an ordinary NPC? Given that Deirdre could transform into an ordinary NPC, let¡¯s assume she counts as an ordinary NPC. Another issue was her innate flying skill, does that still qualify her as a blank NPC? Also, this was on a ship, not a castle; does it even meet the training conditions? Damn it! Why bother with all this? It¡¯s just 500 Gold Coin! No big deal! The Legendary Hero Gru could train skilled, established ordinary archers into Phantom Archers in the wild. I¡¯m at least doing this in a camp, face-to-face with a creature with growth potential. Not to mention that I¡¯m using the God-level Reconnaissance Technique for a job meant for Expert-level, might as well try it! Open the skill panel, pull up the training Scout skill! ¨CSystem Prompt: Would you like to train the ¡°underage Banshee¡± into a Scout troop type? ¨CSystem Prompt: Training a Scout troop requires full Stamina, please consider all necessary conditions. Conditions not suitable for training may lead to failure, and the cost of training Gold Coin cannot be refunded. Nothing more to say, confirmed! A beam of white light shot from Da Fei¡¯s hand, enveloping the entire Banshee. Da Fei¡¯s Stamina started to plummet rapidly! Dropping! 50%! 30%! 10%! Stamina is in the red! Stamina depleted! Damn! ¨CSystem Prompt: Unfortunately, your Stamina was insufficient to train the Scout, and the training failed! Damn! It really failed! Surely you can¡¯t mess around with Banshees? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSystem Prompt: You have comprehended information related to the skill ¡°Special Soldier Training Technique!¡± Da Fei was suddenly astounded! It wasn¡¯t a complete failure! An unexpected reward! Special Soldier Training Technique? What is this skill? Da Fei hurriedly opened the reconnaissance skill book and flipped through it, but there was no record of this skill! Da Fei widened his eyes, could this be another God-level Skill? (Seeking various votes!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 85 - Chapter 85: Chapter 82: God-level Reconnaissance Technique Chapter 85: Chapter 82: God-level Reconnaissance Technique The unexpected information harvest made Da Fei ecstatic. Training a Banshee, who is originally a level 4 high-level soldier, into a level 1 Scout indeed surpasses the scope of ordinary ¡°Scout training,¡± so this ¡°Special Forces Training Skill¡± information appears. If this is a God-level skill, then it could very well be the door to truly understanding the God-level Reconnaissance Technique! Think about it, how did I understand the Master-level Reconnaissance Skill? Of course, it was by continuously collecting and perfecting the ¡°Intelligence Collection¡± skill¡¯s information on the Crocodile BOSS, which had already exposed its weaknesses. Then, I comprehended Master Reconnaissance Skill and the ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡± skill all at once. By analogy, I am sure to make a breakthrough by continuously using the ¡°Scout training¡± skill now! To verify his idea, Da Fei immediately took bundles of pastries and drinks from the kitchen. These are Elf Clan delicacies given by officials during expeditions; consuming them can not only replenish Stamina and health but also temporarily add various statuses that any player practicing cooking can make. Da Fei drank two sips of Dawn Dew, instantly replenishing his Stamina. The ingredients that replenish instantly are all high-end. Then he took off the Blood Eagle Flute to first try the ¡°Scout training¡± under the Master-level Reconnaissance Skill. ¡ª-System Prompt: Do you want to train the ¡°Underage Banshee¡± into a Scout unit? Confirm! With a ding, 500 Gold Coins flew away. Then Stamina decreased crazily, decreased, 50%, 10%, hit red! Stamina emptied! Failed! ¡ª-System Prompt: Very regrettable! Your Scout training failed! Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched! The system prompt was different! This time the prompt didn¡¯t say the failure was due to lack of Stamina but directly announced the failure! And it did not continue to show the skill information of ¡°Special Forces Training Skill¡±! Da Fei laughed to the sky. The entire palace¡¯s curtains seemed to dance with his laughter. I got it! The answer was in front of him: training Banshee Scouts can only be done with God-level Reconnaissance Technique. Once I succeed, what does it mean? It means I will truly comprehend the God-level Reconnaissance Technique! This Blood Eagle Flute is indeed worthy of being an S-class treasure! I didn¡¯t come all this way in vain! Haha! Wahaha! Now, Da Fei equipped the Blood Eagle Flute again, drank two more sips of Dawn Dew to replenish full Stamina, then opened another bottle to grab in his hand. ¡ª-System Prompt: Do you want to train the ¡°Underage Banshee¡± into a Scout unit? Begin! A white light engulfed the Banshee entirely. Stamina decreased, hit red, then Da Fei drank the Dew in hand, full Stamina again! Stamina continued to decrease, half-down! Damn, looking at this situation, even two Stamina bars aren¡¯t enough? Da Fei got anxious, quickly shouted: ¡°Deirdre, open a bottle of Dawn Dew for me!¡± Deirdre chuckled, ¡°Right away, Master!¡± The second Stamina bar ran out, Da Fei downed the third Dew! Continuing, lessening! At this moment, ¡ª-System Prompt: Very regrettable! Your Scout training failed! ¡ª-System Prompt: You collected related information for the skill ¡°Special Forces Training Skill¡±! Da Fei was suddenly stunned! Failed again? What caused it? But that doesn¡¯t matter, the skill information appeared again! That means it¡¯s reliable. This situation is like hitting the Crocodile back then; it requires repeatedly gathering information. So just continue. Deirdre suddenly said, ¡°Master, hold on!¡± Da Fei wondered, ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± Deirdre said, ¡°This little Banshee¡¯s Stamina has dropped to 0, and I¡¯m afraid she can¡¯t accept your training anymore. She must rest well.¡± Da Fei finally realized, oh, so this training didn¡¯t just strain me? Oh wow, I was planning to achieve it all at once. Da Fei could only sigh, ¡°Then let her eat something and rest well, give her the pastries I brought.¡± Deirdre chuckled, ¡°Master, just a mere soldier, isn¡¯t it a waste to give her such good stuff? Ordinary plain water and coarse fare will do.¡± Da Fei chuckled wryly, ¡°I¡­ care for soldiers like my own children. It¡¯s okay.¡± Sigh, I was impatient! I was eager to comprehend God-level Reconnaissance Technique today and open the situation for tomorrow. Heaven knows the uproar this National War quest of mine caused, the longer I stall at the Pool of Radiance, the worse it¡¯ll be for my attack on the Abyss Blood Pool. Deirdre chuckled and said, ¡°Master, I am a master in training soldiers; I see where the issue lies. Please allow me to speak bluntly.¡± Oh? A subordinate is suggesting! I¡¯m not alone! Da Fei¡¯s spirit lifted with joy: ¡°Please speak, please speak! No bluntness at all, I¡¯m not the Demon King, don¡¯t be too formal in the future.¡± Deirdre sweetly smiled, ¡°Is this the first time Master uses the training skill?¡± Uh, seen through that I¡¯m a novice? Da Fei couldn¡¯t help blushing slightly and nodding, ¡°Indeed.¡± Deirdre laughed, ¡°That¡¯s it, Master¡¯s skill proficiency is too low, which is why the Stamina consumption is severe, making it twice the effort for half the result, very hard to succeed. So I suggest Master practice skill proficiency first.¡± So training has skill proficiency as well! Da Fei exclaimed with surprise, ¡°How do I practice proficiency then?¡± Deirdre flirtatiously pointed to her chest: ¡°Of course, Master should practice with me!¡± Da Fei was startled, ¡°How is that possible? Even the underage one doesn¡¯t work, then you¡­ you being an old, old hand won¡¯t work, right? Or is it like mining, the more advanced you excavate, the faster you gain proficiency?¡± Deirdre laughed, ¡°Of course it¡¯s possible, I myself am also a training master, I will fully cooperate to guide Master!¡± Oh~~~ cooperate to guide, so proficiency is practiced like this? Da Fei¡¯s heart was drunk! Good! Good! As a novice, I need proper training, wahaha! Deirdre laughed, ¡°Master, hold me tight!¡± Da Fei was thrilled: ¡°Need to hug?¡± Deirdre chuckled: ¡°This is the contact of flesh and flesh, the fusion of hearts; only in this way can I fully guide you!¡± Da Fei slobbered on the floor, nodding repeatedly: ¡°Good! Good!¡± To snatch a Banshee capable of practicing skills with me is really too wonderful! ¡ª-System Prompt: Do you want to train ¡°Banshee Instructor Deirdre¡± into a Scout unit? Confirm! Then 500 Gold Coins went out, and Stamina depleted. The Banshee in Da Fei¡¯s embrace was engulfed in a white light, and naturally, it was ¡°Very regrettably, you failed!¡± Then, the two ate pastries and drank Dew to replenish Stamina, and then continued, and continued to fail, continued eating, continued failing. Every time watching her eat pastries with that ecstatic expression, Da Fei felt something was off. I say, darling, aren¡¯t you just wanting to eat pastries? How can the desire of a Banshee Instructor be so simple? How bitter is the world of you demons? The sky was about to brighten. Although there¡¯s no day or night underground, a new day had already begun. After a night¡¯s trouble, Da Fei failed 50 times, losing 25,000 Gold Coins! Money, after all, was swindled; I¡¯m not heartbroken. And the effect of the night of failed training was indeed remarkable, the Stamina didn¡¯t drop as fiercely, as soon as it dropped to 50%, it announced failure, saving quite a lot of pastries. Deirdre laughed, ¡°Alright Master, now I¡¯ll talk to this little one, calm her, Master, get ready.¡± Da Fei reluctantly released his embrace with a sigh, ¡°Okay.¡± Now, everything was ready. Deirdre brought the little Banshee over and laughed, ¡°Master, do you remember the feeling of our embrace?¡± Da Fei was astonished and laughed. Of course, I remember the feeling of cuddling! What does this question mean from an NPC, huh? Wait! Just now Da Fei suddenly discovered that among the statuses added by the food on him, there appeared a lipstick-like icon; Banshee Embrace? Increase Banshee Affinity? What does this buff do? Deirdre pushed the little Banshee: ¡°Go!¡± The little Banshee, under Deirdre¡¯s coaching, threw herself into Da Fei¡¯s arms, startling him! Hey hey hey! Even if you want to throw yourself into someone¡¯s arms, you should be a beautiful little loli, how can you, an ugly duckling, do so? Is this the correct posture for training a Banshee? Right, training is mutual; I certainly have to work hard, and the little Banshee must cooperate too. Though unclear what exactly this Banshee Embrace icon does, it¡¯s evident Deirdre¡¯s embrace played a significant part, preparing the little Banshee. Now, it¡¯s up to me. Great, now proficiency is there, posture is there, and Stamina is full, let¡¯s get started! ¡ª-System Prompt: Do you want to train the ¡°Underage Banshee¡± into a Scout unit? Confirm! Stamina decreased slowly, decreased, when it reduced to 30%, celestial music appeared! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You successfully trained! You acquired an entirely new troop type! Success! Success on the first try! Da Fei joyfully tossed the little Banshee in his arms into the air! Celestial music came one after another! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! By training the Scout unit, you further comprehended the essence of the Reconnaissance Skill. Your Reconnaissance Skill has advanced to God-level!

All he really wanted to do was to have a good cry! What did realizing a God-level skill for a player account mean? It meant striking it rich overnight, reaching the top in one leap! It meant houses, cars, money, and beautiful women all rolling in! Cars? Who cared about that? Bro wanted a yacht! Da Fei could no longer assess the value of this account, but he knew that in a mere ten days of professional gaming, he achieved unimaginable success! This was probably the feeling of winning the lottery, a dream he clung to in many sleepless nights! Ten years, and bro finally succeeded! Bro finally made it! Bro finally changed his destiny! Haha, wah-hahaha! Tears blurred Da Fei¡¯s eyes as he looked at the prompt indicating whether to publish the information to the world and laughed hysterically! When you¡¯re happy, you should enjoy it to the fullest; you¡¯re only young once, and hiding things was never Bro¡¯s style. It was time to make a mark in the world and let those experts evaluate the value of Bro¡¯s account. It was time for those fangirls to launch a group charge at Bro, bare-chested. To those classmates who still called Bro trash, Bro¡¯d drive you insane! Wahahahaha!

Eh? Da Fei¡¯s laughter abruptly stopped! It seemed like either cat pee blurred his eyes, or he misclicked because of trembling laughter! Da Fei was momentarily stunned before coming back to his senses. Anyway, whatever the situation, his information ultimately didn¡¯t get published. What was this? Joy turning to sorrow? Ha! Nonsense sorrow, this was fate! Fate wanted Bro to keep a low profile! Fine, if that¡¯s destiny, Bro was happy to stroll around like a king at night for once. Exactly, Bro was already awesome and didn¡¯t really have to let everyone know how awesome exactly. Just like China has atomic bombs, others just needed to know they existed, not how many, 300 or 3000, let them guess. That¡¯s a big country¡¯s trump card. Bro was now a God-level player, and even in the game, he needed his own trump card for career success. Yes, starting today, the game was Bro¡¯s career, not a profession. What¡¯s a profession? It¡¯s working to eat, today and still working tomorrow. What¡¯s a career? Food and drink don¡¯t worry anymore, today you do it, and you still want to do it tomorrow! Bro made it; Bro had bigger ambitions! Da Fei exhaled a deep breath, calming his excited heart, and began to welcome his new career as a player. First, of course, was checking the Banshee¡¯s attributes. ¨CUnderage Banshee Scout (tentative, player can rename): Attack 0, Defense 0, Damage 1-2, Life 3, Attack Speed 5, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Advanced Reconnaissance Skill, Stealth, Independent Expedition. From the attributes, it seemed like a blend of a loli Banshee¡¯s and a Scout¡¯s attributes, but this fusion was a qualitative leap! A flying creature that could stealth! Wahahaha! What an amazing creation, this was Bro¡¯s masterpiece! Da Fei excitedly asked Deirdre, ¡°Baby, what do you think?¡± Deirdre was staring dazedly at the Little Banshee, lost in thought. Hearing Da Fei¡¯s question, she quickly came to her senses and said earnestly, ¡°Master, for a unit that has so many special skills while still underage, its potential growth is unpredictable. If we had to make a comparison, she might develop into a Great Demon-like existence since Great Demons have three or four special skills in their youth.¡± Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed, ¡°Great Demon! A level 7 unit!¡± ¨CGreat Demon: A large demon creature, Attack 32, Defense 32, Life 211, Attack Speed 10, Damage 36-66, Fire Resistance 90%, Magic Resistance 60%, Special Skills: Teleportation Movement, Summon Abyss Lord, Curse of Misfortune, Mind Immunity, Flame Slash, Hate Strike, Light enemy. As the top unit of its race, the strength of the Great Demon was indisputable. Teleportation Movement was similar to flying but without a path; it could directly appear in front of the enemy, catching them defenseless. Curse of Misfortune reduced enemy team¡¯s luck by 1 as long as a Great Demon was in formation, much like how Angels in formation increased allies¡¯ morale by 1. Mind Immunity was absolutely necessary; as top units, susceptible to spiritual magic, they were not top units. As for Flame Slash and Hate Strike, these were sweeping skills that large creatures naturally possessed, no need to mention it, being unable wouldn¡¯t suit their size. Light enemy meant encountering bright creatures like Angels added damage bonuses against each other. Thinking that Banshees could become Great Demons excited Da Fei beyond control! A level 7 unit! At this stage, players weren¡¯t even qualified to command level 4 units, and NPC Main Cities wouldn¡¯t sell them, not to mention how many levels later level 7 units appeared. But now Bro had level 7 units, a remarkable career-type life worth showing off! Deirdre laughed, ¡°Master, please rest assured, I¡¯ll do my utmost to cultivate her into adulthood. She may not be suitable as a frontline combat unit like a Great Demon, but as an assassin or spy, she will have no issues.¡± Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Great, I¡¯ll count on you!¡± Deirdre smiled, ¡°Master, a new day has begun, and there¡¯s a new Banshee slot in the barracks!¡± So, Banshee production was one per day? When it came to production, the Hell Race¡¯s troops indeed outdid the Elf Clan. Da Fei¡¯s mouth twisted in a smile, ¡°Recruit! Hurry and recruit!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± Looking at Deirdre¡¯s strained figure summoning, Da Fei felt emotional. When it came down to it, these juvenile Banshees could only appear in this special mission scene under the World Tree Barrier. Missing this chance might mean there wouldn¡¯t be another shop elsewhere. Suddenly, Bro didn¡¯t feel like leaving! These were future level 7 units! Bro should try to recruit as many as possible. But if so, wouldn¡¯t the trip to the Abyss Blood Pool get delayed? Suddenly, Da Fei laughed at himself. Why worry so much? The Pool of Radiance was just a start; such a vast area was enough to keep Bro busy for a while. Would Bro not recruit enough with the money left? Now it was time to name the unit, giving it a domineering and fitting name, Charming Emperor would do.

Isn¡¯t experience also given? That¡¯s right, in the game, repairing, mining, reading, fishing, everything gives you experience. Da Fei laughed heartily, my team of level 7 soldiers is beginning to grow stronger now! Now, Da Fei starts to check the special skill he comprehended, ¡°Basic Special Soldier Training Skill¡±. Huh? Suddenly, Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened with shock, this skill turned out to be¨C ¡ª-Basic Special Soldier Training Skill: The hero has a certain chance to train some ordinary soldiers into special soldiers with special combat capabilities. ¡ª-Skill Introduction: Basic Special Soldier Training Skill is an extremely secretive discipline, involving highly classified military secrets. There is no public Skill Book available for learning and upgrading. It also has strict requirements for soldiers, instructors, and training grounds. Players must rely on their own exploration and practice to comprehend, upgrade, and perfect the skill. Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened! It turned out to be the main skill he comprehended! Just like Attack Skill and Defense Skill! Holy crap, I thought it was just a sub-skill under Reconnaissance Skill! Upon reflection, it makes sense, training the Charming Emperor originated from Reconnaissance Skill, but it has already evolved beyond the scope of Reconnaissance Skill, worthy of being its own distinct, profound, and super-secretive discipline! But, not having a Skill Book is really frustrating. Although navigators don¡¯t have textbooks either, at least they can seek guidance from other navigators. This Basic Special Soldier Training probably won¡¯t even have anyone to ask since it¡¯s a military secret! Of course, the advantage of not having a textbook is that self-comprehension doesn¡¯t consume Skill Points. And now, this basic skill is indeed quite humble; it¡¯s said to be a passive automatic skill, but it doesn¡¯t add any attributes. It¡¯s said to be an active skill, but there¡¯s no skill usage option available, meaning it doesn¡¯t have any sub-skills. In the end, it¡¯s just a line of text in need of improvement. As for now, Da Fei can still find someone to ask about it. Da Fei hurriedly asked: ¡°Deirdre, do you know about Basic Special Soldier Training? I have successfully developed the Charming Emperor Species after attaining this skill.¡± Deirdre smiled and said: ¡°As expected of master, of course I know about Special Soldier Training, it¡¯s an open secret.¡± Da Fei was startled: ¡°An open secret?¡± Deirdre shook her head while smiling: ¡°What I mean is, every race and every kingdom has special forces, everyone knows about Special Soldier Training. There are many minstrels in taverns who have plenty of stories on this topic, many people are captivated by them. However, exactly how to train special soldiers is indeed top secret. Anyway, letting enemies or allies know that one owns a special force exaggeratedly rumored by the public has been a continual strategy by all kingdoms.¡± So that¡¯s how it is, turning into an exaggerated rumor like the Leopard Commando becoming the Dragon Group with everyone possessing superpowers, it¡¯s quite good for intimidation. Does it mean that the legendary Gru is also exaggerated by the public? Da Fei then asked, ¡°As an instructor, have you also heard how to upgrade or perfect this skill?¡± Deirdre shook her head: ¡°I am ashamed to say, no. However, taking the Hell Race¡¯s Demon Army, the Holy Demon Army as an example, the Commander Seren of this army selects the finest demons from various armies to join the special forces. By extrapolation, master can only truly consider it Special Soldier Training and achieve further breakthroughs if you successfully train adult Banshees into Charming Emperors.¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have gained information about the Holy Demon Army¡¯s special forces. Ignoring the strange incoming information, Da Fei exclaimed in astonishment, ¡°Directly train into adult Banshees? How is that possible?¡± Are Banshees predicted to be level 7 soldiers? Can level 4 soldiers jump directly to level 7? Deirdre shook her head and sighed, ¡°I can¡¯t do that! What I can do is train a young Charming Emperor into an adult. In my opinion, Master should wait for the Charming Emperor to mature before discussing further. Otherwise, you wouldn¡¯t even know their adult attributes. How could you train an ordinary banshee into a Charming Emperor, Master?¡± Da Fei suddenly realized, ¡°Right, right, right, I was too hasty! You make sense. For now, let¡¯s just raise the child first, then slowly, research, hehe!¡± It seems that training toddlers is just a beginner skill in selecting seedlings, not a real ability. Only directly training adult Banshees can overcome this hurdle. Indeed, I can¡¯t always rely on staying within the barrier to recruit children, and always have Deirdre as their nanny forever. Anyway, when I have money later, I¡¯ll fiercely invest it on adult Banshees! Isn¡¯t it just 500 Gold Coins at once, for someone with a net worth of one billion, it¡¯s nothing. If all else fails, I¡¯ll just set the special force training skill as my natural talent. It¡¯s been so long since I¡¯ve felt such longing for my talent. Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something, ¡°What defines the best soldiers?¡± It makes sense to select talents from top soldiers and train them into special forces, but aren¡¯t all soldiers¡¯ attributes the same? Deirdre smiled, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s the soldiers who have killed the most enemies, or those who have survived the longest after following their master into many battles.¡± Exactly! When players check soldier details, there¡¯s always a record of the number of enemies killed. However, it doesn¡¯t mean much indeed, especially since low-level soldiers are cannon fodder, and long-range soldiers are primarily targeted by heavy firepower. The barracks endure while soldiers come and go, how many can survive to the end? It seems that this special soldier training is really troublesome. For now, just nurturing toddlers is fine, no rush on the special forces. Now it¡¯s getting late; a new day begins, time for me to open the situation. Where is the situation? Of course, I need to check outside the World Tree Barrier! Just last night, when the influence of the barrier was mentioned, Da Fei suddenly wondered what it was like outside? ¡®You don¡¯t see the true face of Mount Lu because you are in the mountain.¡¯ After all, with my martial prowess unable to change the tide, if it were any other player, wouldn¡¯t they be utterly stifled? So, a change in approach is needed, look outside for insights. At this moment, Deirdre spoke again, ¡°Master, please bring these two soldiers with you.¡± Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Toddlers!¡± Deirdre shook her head with a slight sigh, ¡°Flowers in a greenhouse can¡¯t withstand the storm. I couldn¡¯t have reached this stage by just staying in the palace and enjoying myself. The world of the Hell Race is cruel and ruthless; every day tens of thousands of Demon Infants are born, but in the end, only a mere few tens become ordinary soldiers, and among every several hundred thousand Demon Infants, only an extremely rare few can break through the barriers and become elite. Just take them with you, Master, and rest them here with me when needed.¡± Da Fei, both crying and laughing, this is 350 plus 500 Gold Coins per toddler, not something like those tens of thousands of Demon Infants easily conjured in a Hell Blood Pool. I¡¯d be at a loss if any died! However, what she said makes sense. How do ordinary troops become elite or even a BOSS? This problem that even Makar is grappling with, she must be using her own growth experiences to train soldiers, right? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Alright, I¡¯m a businessman aiming for big and strong enterprises, so I should take them along. If even Flying Soldiers with Stealth capability can¡¯t preserve themselves on the battlefield, then there¡¯s no point wasting money and efforts on special soldiers. Just summon a few toddlers, raise them to be level 7 soldiers, and use them to kick off the game. Wait! Speaking of Makar, is that what he concocted, something higher-grade than Resentful Spirits, an unknown Undead, considered a special soldier? Makar once mentioned in his diary, lifeforms have severe limitations, very little room for growth, only the Undead can grow unrestricted; his approach must be focused on researching special soldiers, right? Damn! Mr. Ma, teach me! I¡¯m your cheap student! (New week starts, asking for all kinds of votes!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 88 - Chapter 88: Chapter 85: The Demon Camp Beyond the Barrier Chapter 88: Chapter 85: The Demon Camp Beyond the Barrier Da Fei came out of the barracks as Selvia was already patrolling and comforting the soldiers in the cabin. That¡¯s an angel for you! That¡¯s why the ship¡¯s doctor has to be a woman, otherwise, morale will drop. Seeing Da Fei appear, Selvia greeted him with a salute: ¡°Captain, I¡¯m all recovered. I¡¯ll fight hard today.¡± Da Fei patted her small shoulder and chuckled: ¡°Good, we¡¯ll work hard together! Today¡¯s goal is to explore the boundary of the barrier. By the way, you leveled up yesterday. What skill do you want to learn?¡± Selvia perked up: ¡°I want to learn Meditation Skill. That way, my mana will regenerate faster, and it¡¯ll be less draining in battle.¡± Ah, too busy to think straight. I should have brought a whole stack of Magic Skill Books on board. Da Fei sighed: ¡°Let¡¯s learn Leadership Skill first. Your Basic Commanding Ability is high, so the Leadership Skill boost is the best bang for our buck.¡± The key is that Leadership Skill boosts morale, preventing morale drop in a mixed unit with Banshees. In the game, mixed Light Camp and Dark Camp units suffer morale drops; the messier the mix, the worse the drop. Selvia nodded: ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll follow the captain¡¯s arrangement.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia consumed a Skill Point and learned the Basic Leadership Skill. There¡¯s nothing to say about the free attribute points, add to knowledge. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia¡¯s knowledge increased by 1, mana increased by 10 points. Selvia said joyously: ¡°I¡¯ve gotten stronger, and I¡¯m so eager to fight!¡± As a nun, she¡¯s so violent, so not reserved, it¡¯s simply too much to not like! Wahaha, Da Fei took the chance to pat her head and said: ¡°Don¡¯t rush, today¡¯s strategy requires thought before action.¡± ¡°Yes, Captain!¡± So obedient! Having all female subordinates feels so great. As for having a female boss, that feels just awful. Da Fei walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck. The minimap was still a mass of red clouds, and the beetles diligently gnawed at the tree sap on the trunk, completely unaffected by the destruction of one brood nest. The dense forest blocked the view of the God-level Reconnaissance Technique. It was time for the Blood Flute Eagle to be deployed. Speaking of which, isn¡¯t the Blood Eagle a special skill of the Elf Clan? Didn¡¯t God-level Reconnaissance include this sub-skill? Just handing back the treasure felt a bit reluctant. But no worries, hopefully, the Little Charm Emperor I recently trained can replace it. Da Fei opened the map of the Pool of Radiance, selecting the nearest shoreline direction from his current location to release the Blood Eagle. The Blood Eagle, being a Spiritual Body, ignored obstacles, flying forward. Everywhere in its sight was a shocking swarm of insects and the numerous insect nests. There were indeed many insect nests; relying on force to flatten all these nests was impossible. So, the key to breaking the situation lay beyond the barrier. The system prompt mentioned this barrier was the World Tree¡¯s self-defense measure against even stronger enemies. Such enemies surely stood as a rear guard outside the barrier. The Blood Eagle flew through the dense forest, and a giant screen with a metallic luster appeared before its eyes, which was undoubtedly the barrier. Pass through it! Da Fei clenched his fists, both excited and nervous. The scene changed, with a fiery world rushing toward him, ironclad sounds echoing beneath the surface. Da Fei¡¯s brow twitched in surprise¨Cit was lava, the most common terrain in hell! The iron clangor came from the endless Demon Race factories being built along the coastline and glowing magic towers. Countless level 0 Demon Infant soldiers of the Demon Race bounced around, busy transporting ore carts in and out of the factories. Atop each tower, hundreds of Flower Demons were trapped in some large-scale Magic Array. Da Fei¡¯s spirit lifted, Flower Demons! Found them! At this time, these Flower Demons struggled and wailed painfully in the magic array, their emitted light streams absorbed by the Magic Array, with Flower Demons periodically collapsing. At the edge of the magic array, hundreds of barrels of white glowing liquid were placed. Fallen Flower Demons were dragged into the barrels by the Military Governor for immersion immediately. Meanwhile, new barrels filled with glowing liquid were replaced, and workers carried out older barrels with lightless contents. As a skilled player, this scene was transparent¨Cit was clear the Demons were absorbing the energy of the Flower Demons for their use! Those white liquids must be the World Tree sap collected by the beetles, which revived the Banshees, and once rejuvenated, the Flower Demons continued to be exploited by the demons. The Demons¡¯ objective could only be one: to breach the barrier and destroy the World Tree. Perhaps the Light Energy of the World Tree was something the demons were extremely wary of, as seen when the brood nest¡¯s flesh fell into the Pool like plunging into acid. Thus, the demons likely came up with the method of exploiting Flower Demons, using a force of the same nature to destroy the barrier? Anyway, that¡¯s basically it. So, the key to breaking the situation lies here, which involves rescuing the Flower Demons and destroying the towers. Now, let¡¯s see what their defense forces look like. At this moment, Under the towers, Abyss Lords, Level 6 Soldiers of the Hell Race, were on guard, with large patrols of Level 3 Hellhounds, and Level 5 Hell Horses¨Cwait, were there riders on the Hell Horses? What the hell! Hell Horses, known as Nightmare Beasts, mortal enemies of Unicorns, are the most arrogant and irritable Level 5 Soldiers of the Hell Race, yet could be ridden? This was a Hell Race type never seen in official data! Human warriors riding an ordinary warhorse become Level 6 Knights, so what level would a Hell Race warrior riding a Level 5 mount become? What caliber must these horse-riding warriors have to tame a Hell Horse? This combination might even outmatch a Level 7 Great Demon, right? Could such a force be attacked head-on? That¡¯s the difficulty of the Epic Quest! Bah! In front of my Giant Cannon array, what do you count as! When my ship approaches the shore, a round of coastal bombardment will lay even a BOSS down, not to mention these non-BOSS troops! The key issue was, indeed, the tower. Clearly, this is a Magic Tower, or perhaps a Magic Cannon, with a range surely exceeding a Crossbow Cannon. Although the magic cannon¡¯s attack would be somewhat weakened when passing through a barrier, could my ship withstand much longer? Just then, Da Fei¡¯s vision blacked out. ¨CSystem Prompt: The Blood Flute Eagle¡¯s energy was exhausted and cannot be used again today. Ah! How could there be a blackout at the critical moment? So many Flower Demons await my rescue, while I still need to devise a plan and find a proper spot for coastal bombardment! At this moment, Da Fei could only turn his helpless gaze toward the two Little Banshees. How should I put it? As a commander, one should have the commander¡¯s insight, or perhaps, cruelty. And as a soldier, even if one is a female soldier, a Little Banshee soldier must grasp the awareness of being a soldier. Da Fei shook his head and pointed to the minimap: ¡°Go, and make sure you return alive with intelligence.¡± The two Little Banshees became almost transparent and quickly spread their wings silently, disappearing into the sky, soon vanishing from the minimap¡¯s two green dots into the red cloud. Da Fei¡¯s heart knotted. As Da Fei fretted over the safety of the two small soldiers, the president of the Dragon Slayer Network Entertainment Company, Ma Yinglong, was equally anxious. He bore the nation¡¯s great responsibility, dignity, confidence, the nation¡¯s future, and, well, the guild¡¯s future. The time for the National War was drawing closer. On the surface, Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s number one in the Hell faction, Lei Huolong, casually and leisurely contacted ordinary Hell Race players everywhere to come and play, saying, ¡°Let¡¯s go together, I¡¯ll show you foreign blond girls, make the nation proud, get on TV, and so on,¡± but inside, he was burning with anxiety. China Region¡¯s biggest advantage was its population. Whether they could gather as many ordinary players and even small studio teams to help in the secrecy before the war would be crucial to victory. Gathering manpower while maintaining secrecy was very hard. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Hell Race in the China Region was indeed underperforming. There were really few players compared to other races, and even fewer studios. Unlike human elves who could engage in maritime trade, the Hell Race just killed and fought all day. The sky was red, the blood was red, and everything inside the players¡¯ helmets appeared red, which over time made their eyes unbearable. And still being part of the Dark Camp, just look at the popularity of the Undead Race¨Cthe Death Knight heroes are super cool! Check out the Undead Mage heroes, they¡¯re too awesome! Female vampires, stunningly beautiful! Whiter than clouds! It seemed, intercepting the enemy before the national borders before the war began was hard, and I could only preserve strength. Once the National War erupted, their foreign territories would assault the Pool of Radiance initially. The Dragon Slayer Guild would immediately mobilize nationwide to attack the foreign players from behind, and if they could coordinate a two-way attack with the Elf Clan¡¯s so-called Super Hero, even better. If the Japan Region and the Super Hero wore each other down, that would be for the best. So the last key, what exactly is the Elf Clan¡¯s Super Hero? Only when the battle opens will it be revealed. (Votes for everything requested!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Chapter 86: Hell Camp Strategy Chapter 89: Chapter 86: Hell Camp Strategy Time ticked by slowly, each minute dragging on like an hour as Da Fei waited anxiously. Finally, two rapidly moving green dots appeared on the mini-map! Da Fei jumped up excitedly, they were back! My little babies made it back safely! Haha, wahaha! It¡¯s good to have them back, it¡¯s good to have them back! The small green dots on the mini-map swiftly approached, already within the sight range of Da Fei¡¯s God-level Reconnaissance Technique. Even so, Da Fei still couldn¡¯t see them. That¡¯s right, factors like lighting and terrain affect stealth, but so does speed. In principle, after going stealth, one should move slowly, to avoid standing out from the environment and getting detected. Another extreme is moving at high speed, like stealth fighters¨Cflying too fast makes it hard for radar waves to bounce back, thus harder to detect. The banshees¡¯ situation is a textbook example of high-speed stealth. Finally, they were back! Two small figures, as transparent as shadows, descended from the sky onto the deck. Da Fei was taken aback, when they set out he was too preoccupied to notice, thinking it was just the dim lighting underground. But now it seemed their stealth was incredibly potent! While stealth does make users appear much blurrier, reaching this level of transparency was beyond what Da Fei¡¯s God-level Reconnaissance Technique could achieve! Could it be because banshees are ethereal, thus their stealth effect surpasses that of regular physical beings? Damn, isn¡¯t this just being a ghost? ¡ª System Prompt: Your Charming Emperor¡¯s army has provided you with map intelligence on your destination! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Charming Emperor¡¯s army has provided you with map intelligence on your destination! Da Fei snapped out of it, laughing aloud, while offering pastries and drinks to them, ¡°Well done, you didn¡¯t disgrace your mission as future level-7 troops on your first battle! Now go rest well in the barracks.¡± The two little banshees gleefully accepted the pastries and ran back into the ship¡¯s cabin. Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but sigh inwardly¨Cordinary troops are just troops. Apart from eating, drinking, and limited vocabulary, actions, and expressions, they don¡¯t even count as regular NPCs. After all, the game can¡¯t afford to spend too many mainframe resources on troops meant for cannon fodder. Da Fei now began examining the map. Advanced Reconnaissance Skill had a map-drawing function, the so-called map was actually a photo of the destination. These two little banshees were high-altitude reconnaissance planes, perfectly completing the reconnaissance tasks in Da Fei¡¯s designated area. Looking at the clear images of troop deployments and building terrains, Da Fei was thrilled but also shocked! This has got to be a joke, soldiers everywhere on the coast¨Chow are these Magic Towers placed so tightly, is this to prevent Normandy landings? This must imply a forced attack is necessary! Damn! How would other players with an epic quest handle this? Do they have my kind of firepower? Do they have my formidable reconnaissance skills? Does it mean breaking through from outside the barrier is not the key? Impossible, the Flower Demon was captured, there¡¯s no reason not to save her! Da Fei subconsciously returned to the ship¡¯s barracks to continue questioning Deirdre, as she too was a demon and surely knew much. No, no, call everyone to a meeting, Deirdre as a BOSS instructor knew so much, Catherine and Selvia as epic heroes certainly knew more. Epic heroes may not have extraordinary special skills, but their value lies in their lore. They are people with game backgrounds and knowledge, unlike those heroes hired from the tavern who, although they might have superior skills and intelligence, lack history and hidden game knowledge. Now, Da Fei brought Catherine and Selvia into the barracks. As soon as they entered, Catherine couldn¡¯t help but exclaim at the luxurious and lavish palace, ¡°Wow! I didn¡¯t expect our ship to be so luxurious. I just want to sleep here!¡± Alas, that¡¯s impossible! Only instructors and soldiers can reside in the barracks, not a place for you to sleep. Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Once we¡¯ve won this battle, our ship can be resurrected, and we¡¯ll have all the luxury we want!¡± Deirdre warmly welcomed them with a smile, ¡°Welcome, Master, and the two ladies! Congratulations to the master¡¯s soldiers on completing the mission on their first expedition!¡± Da Fei laughed, ¡°Come, everyone, sit! We have a big problem with this operation, let¡¯s analyze the situation together!¡± Everyone gathered around the table to look at the map photos, their brows furrowed in thought. Deirdre spoke first, ¡°Master, the enemy¡¯s defensive strength is not as strong as it appears, many fortifications are newly built! Especially those Magic Towers!¡± There was a breakthrough! Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Deirdre spread out a few photos, ¡°Master, you can see these towers in these pictures are significantly different from this one. The old towers have deep, rich stone colors and abundant magic energy, making them inaccessible. But in these photos, the towers clearly haven¡¯t even solidified the molten rock used in construction, and there are evident engineering machine tracks that haven¡¯t been cleaned up. In my opinion, these towers were completed no more than two days ago, lacking much energy. If the master wants to attack, he can start here!¡± ¡°Wow!¡± Catherine and Selvia cried out in awe, not fully understanding. Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°Then what?¡± Deirdre pointed to some drag marks on the photos, ¡°These drag marks have unusual depth and width, this must be a special engineering vehicle of the Hell Race. Such machines are massive and energy-consuming, incredibly expensive, but can accomplish unbelievable engineering feats in a very short time. They only appear in the most urgent of times. Clearly, their appearance confirms this project was recently completed under emergency.¡± Da Fei was stunned, ¡°I see!¡± Who knew a game scene held so much information, offering such a wealth of details? This Reconnaissance Skill wasn¡¯t just for fun, and I¡¯ve learned a new trick as an expert. But my darling, how do you know so much? Deirdre pointed at another spot on the photo that puzzled Da Fei¨Cthe Hell Horse Knight, its expression stern, ¡°This is the elite of the Demon King Hall, the Hell Baron. Their combat power is unimaginable; each can challenge several Great Demons. They usually guard the Demon King Hall and only appear elsewhere in the most urgent circumstances. With them around, the master must absolutely avoid direct beach assaults, or our forces will be wiped out in an instant! We must also keep our distance; their blazing flying spears have formidable long-range attack power!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: You have received information on the level-8 troop Hell Baron. Da Fei was suddenly shocked! Level-8 troops already appeared! This epic quest is too epic! What concept is level-8 troops? Da Fei asked in shock, ¡°What special skills do they have? Is their range as far as the Crossbow Cannon?¡± Deirdre shook her head, ¡°Few have seen them in action because there¡¯s rarely a need for them to act, but their blazing flying spears indeed surpass Titans.¡± All was now clear. The difficulty of this epic quest had escalated beyond the initial acceptance level; perhaps this sudden Abyss Blood Pool quest increased the challenge. If so, it¡¯s not something ordinary players could complete. Am I an ordinary player? No, I am a God-level player with a Phantom Crossbow Cannon! Now, it¡¯s time to let my Phantom Crossbow Cannon taste the fresh air. Coach Makar, encountering you was truly fortuitous! Da Fei pointed to the map, ¡°Great, let¡¯s start breaking through at this shoddy new project!¡± At this moment, Catherine spoke up, ¡°Captain, I have an idea too.¡± Da Fei was thrilled again! My darling, you as an epic hero should now contribute your knowledge! Yes, if even the non-hero side knows so much, how can you stay idle? Da Fei said excitedly, ¡°Let¡¯s hear it!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Catherine chuckled, ¡°Captain, do you remember that time you inquired about Mysterious Stealth Navigation on the island?¡± Da Fei was momentarily stunned, then delighted, ¡°I remember! I remember!¡± Oh no, barely remember! I almost forgot everything! Catherine laughed, ¡°Then the captain must first learn the sub-skill of God-level Reconnaissance, Phantom March!¡± (Asking for various votes!) wuxiaworld.site .co Chapter 90 - Chapter 90 Chapter 87 The Cottage Industrys Mysterious Stealth Chapter 90: Chapter 87: The Cottage Industry¡¯s Mysterious Stealth Navigation Technique Chapter 90: Chapter 87: The Cottage Industry¡¯s Mysterious Stealth Navigation Technique ¡ª-Phantom March: Your army was difficult to be discovered by the enemy when marching in the wild. Learning requirements: God-level Reconnaissance Technique. Da Fei was pleasantly surprised, ¡°Could Phantom March be one of the skills combined to form Mysterious Stealth Navigation?¡± Catherine nodded, ¡°Exactly! Pirate King Red Beard¡¯s special skill not only terrifies the Kingdom¡¯s merchant fleets but also makes all the other pirate forces envious. It¡¯s said that the global naval forces are trying to figure out his skills, including my father. We¡¯ve focused our attention on Pirate King¡¯s right-hand people: the Grand Mage O¡¯Neill, First Officer Quig, and that special warship Sea Tyrant that Red Beard washes with shark blood every day. The fact that Pirate King owns a God-level Reconnaissance Skill is known to all pirates. Hence, we¡¯ve concluded that Mysterious Stealth Navigation is a skill that requires at least the three of them, along with that special Sea Dominator warship!¡± Da Fei clapped his hands and laughed, ¡°As I thought!¡± Oh, my dear, you knew it all along! Truly, there¡¯s more than meets the eye! Catherine coquettishly winked, ¡°It¡¯s precisely because of the captain¡¯s answer that I look at you in a different light!¡± Da Fei raised his eyebrows with joy, turns out my casual display of knowledge was the key to winning over this beauty! Wahahaha! Indeed, one must constantly show off even in trivial matters. A steady accumulation of goodwill eventually leads to a transformation. Alas, back in the day, I accumulated ill will bit by bit and was finally fired by my boss. Meh! I¡¯m thriving, so why harp on the past? I¡¯m more successful than my boss now! Catherine sighed, ¡°However, even if the conclusion was guessed, reality is quite hopeless. According to my father and Uncle Barak¡¯s multiple tests, this skill probably requires all three of them to master God-level skills to execute, meaning Pirate King¡¯s God-level Reconnaissance, O¡¯Neill¡¯s God-level Arcane, Quig¡¯s God-level Navigation, plus the pirate profession¡¯s ship control bonus. But because Father hired the Grand Mage multiple times to test, Pirate King found out and mocked him¨C¡± At this, Catherine¡¯s face darkened, ¡°All pirates know that when Pirate King laughs, someone dies, even mockery is a form of laughing, that¡¯s a warning to my father! Since then, no other pirate forces dared to publicly test Pirate King¡¯s skills. Besides, people with God-level skills are rare in any kingdom, how could they all gather among pirates?¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You¡¯ve further obtained information on the skill ¡°Mysterious Stealth Navigation.¡± Now Da Fei understood. No wonder when I asked about it back in the tavern, the pirates all had elusive expressions. But¨C Da Fei was puzzled, ¡°The problem is, we don¡¯t have a God-level Arcanist or God-level Navigation Skill, do we?¡± Catherine laughed, ¡°But we have the World Tree¡¯s barrier! This barrier would definitely severely interfere with the enemy¡¯s perception near the coast. We can ask that Arcanist Mrs. Anwen to come and cast Mist Spell, then I can use Master Level Navigation and Master-level Pirate ship control to stealthily sail over, the enemy is unlikely to notice, then we launch a surprise attack!¡± Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°This can work?¡± Catherine smiled, ¡°Back when Father and Uncle Barak were testing it, I saw various funny things. Even if we can¡¯t reach the legendary invisible and formless effect, some confusion would still ensue, better than directly charging in to be first attacked by the enemy¡¯s magic tower. Moreover, the captain has already achieved a God-level skill, the effect will be much better!¡± Oh yeah! A knockoff God-level skill! I love it! Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°Great! Let¡¯s do it, let¡¯s go invite Mrs. Anwen right away!¡± Ah, wait! The mayor said Anwen would no longer contribute to the Pool of Purifying Light operation! Isn¡¯t she an NPC from another quest? This doesn¡¯t seem right. The quest difficulty is clearly upgraded, no longer just purification! Well, let¡¯s try, if we can invite her, great. If not, we¡¯ll just have to go in with guns blazing. Da Fei and the other two headed to Anwen¡¯s resting room. Da Fei straightened his captain¡¯s uniform, cleared his throat, knocked on the door, and called out, ¡°Lady Anwen!¡± No response. Da Fei waited for a while, then continued to knock and raised his voice, ¡°Lady Anwen, we have a major operation, we¡¯d like to request you to cast a Mist Spell.¡± Still no response. Selvia quietly said, ¡°Captain, Lady Anwen is extremely exhausted. She was using spells to forcefully sustain herself before the expedition. She might be in a state of complete meditation now, unable to hear anything outside.¡± Da Fei was dumbstruck. Clearly, the difficulty increased yet no additional help, is this how it¡¯s supposed to be? Definitely an NPC from another quest! Ah, my dear Mr. Ma is truly helpful, managing another epic quest across different tasks. So, it¡¯s all up to the Phantom Crossbow Cannon! Da Fei sighed, ¡°Looks like we shouldn¡¯t disturb her, we¡¯ll have to attack forcefully and find the best attack point on the map.¡± The three returned to the Banshee Camp dejectedly. Upon learning of the situation, Deirdre chuckled, ¡°Master, I have another tactic!¡± Oh? Another idea? Da Fei was delighted, ¡°Baby, tell me quickly!¡± Deirdre nodded, ¡°I¡¯ve long heard the Phantom March under God-level Reconnaissance Technique is incredibly elusive, letting the hero¡¯s troops be in a similar stealth state. My two Banshees have already learned stealth, if they activate it and are led by your Phantom March, the concealment effect would be beyond imagination! So, my tactic is, you lead them to sneak into the Magic Tower and destroy its core from inside! Once the Magic Tower is disrupted causing chaos among the enemy, our cannons can take the opportunity to support!¡± Da Fei was shocked, ¡°Do you know how to sabotage the Magic Tower internally?¡± Deirdre laughed heartily, ¡°The Magic Tower¡¯s interior is quite sophisticated, the more intricate, the more it fears disturbance. As long as those little ones slip in unnoticed, messing around a bit will suffice. Moreover, with the enemy building so many new magic towers, how could there be enough mages stationed? Most are temporary workers doing simple operations, easier for us to handle!¡± Da Fei was tearfully nodding! How are you so amazing! How do you know so much! Why aren¡¯t you a hero! Does the ultimate stage of BOSS evolution turn into a hero? But¨C Da Fei asked again, ¡°What if the operation fails?¡± Deirdre chuckled, ¡°If it fails, we¡¯ll go with the master¡¯s original plan of a frontal attack.¡± No way, my point is if the operation fails, won¡¯t those little darlings be doomed? At this moment, Catherine was surprised, ¡°Stealth-capable Banshees? The captain¡¯s new troop? Mind if I have a look?¡± Deirdre clapped her hands, ¡°Come out and greet the lords!¡± Two little Banshees came bouncing out of the hall! Catherine exclaimed, ¡°Wow! How cute!¡± Selvia exclaimed, ¡°Why aren¡¯t they wearing clothes?¡± What¡¯s cute? If they wear clothes, how could they be invisible or let uncles inspect? Catherine clapped her hands laughing, ¡°Interesting! How about I train them too?¡± Da Fei was taken aback, ¡°Train them in what?¡± Catherine smiled, ¡°Of course, train them as pirates! These children are natural talents for sneaky acts!¡± Deirdre awkwardly laughed, ¡°Banshees are weak Demons, unsuitable for combat, truly can only do such things.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened! Exactly, Catherine is also an instructor, aren¡¯t pirate¡¯s professional skills part of training sub-skills for pirate soldiers? Pirate Training: Pirates can train naval units as pirate warriors. ¡ª-Pirate Warrior: Attack 10, Defense 2, Damage 6-10, Life 35, Attack Speed 14, Move Speed 12, Command Value 2, Training Cost 250 Gold Coins, special skill: Sailing Skill, Flying Axe, Agile Evasion, War Plunder. So if that¡¯s the case, pirates are considered special soldiers? But, this is on a ship, not a pirate¡¯s territory, can this work? (Asking for all sorts of votes) Chapter 91 - Chapter 91 Chapter 88 The Growth of Charming Emperor Once Again Chapter 91: Chapter 88: The Growth of Charming Emperor Once Again Chapter 91: Chapter 88: The Growth of Charming Emperor Once Again Catherine turned around and gave Da Fei a sweet smile: ¡°Captain, give me 500 Gold Coins!¡± Da Fei was shocked: ¡°You aren¡¯t really going for training, are you?¡± Hey, I¡¯m really busy now, I¡¯m about to go into battle soon, where is the time for me to fuss about this with you? However, facing the sweet smile of his sweetheart, Da Fei simply couldn¡¯t utter these words. Well, it¡¯s just a few Magic Towers, emblem selling for a trivial issue, I have countless plans to deal with it, so it¡¯s not urgent. Da Fei chuckled and handed over 500 Gold Coins. Catherine smiled and said: ¡°It¡¯s easy to learn bad habits, but hard to learn good ones, these kids were born bad little sisters, such matters should be nipped in the bud, and learning piracy is right up their alley!¡± While saying this, she swayed two Gold Coins in front of two Little Banshees: ¡°Want them?¡± The two Little Banshees¡¯ eyes lit up. Deirdre incited from the side: ¡°Listen to what this big sister says, being obedient has its perks.¡± The two Little Banshees nodded repeatedly. Catherine smiled: ¡°If you want them, come and snatch them! Make sure not to let the Gold Coins fall to the ground! Otherwise, the Earth God will take them away, and you will be left with nothing.¡± Saying that, she purposely let a Gold Coin slip through her fingers. The two Little Banshees, being very clever, flapped their wings and flew forward to catch it. Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but feel delighted, there¡¯s hope! Catherine laughed out loud: ¡°There are more!¡± From between her fingers, two more Gold Coins slipped out, and the Little Banshees once again pounced and caught them. Catherine laughed heartily: ¡°Your desires can¡¯t be just two Gold Coins, right? Come on, there¡¯s more.¡± The Gold Coins in Catherine¡¯s hand began to slip out faster, and as her hand moving to grab the Gold Coins also shifted, the two Little Banshees looked up, like puppies waiting to be fed by their owner, scrambling in all directions. Da Fei was shocked and flabbergasted! Is this training pirates? They can¡¯t really become pirates, can they? Da Fei glanced at Deirdre nearby, only to see her eyes bright and serious, a bead of sweat rolled down her forehead to her neck, and then to her cleavage, onto the plains¡­ For a moment, Da Fei was entranced! Uh, got to focus on the important stuff! Da Fei then coughed lightly and asked softly, ¡°Baby, what do you think?¡± Deirdre seriously said: ¡°If these two little ones can catch all the Gold Coins before their Stamina runs out, then their advancement will be successful, otherwise, it will fail!¡± Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°So it works this way too!¡± Deirdre nodded: ¡°As juveniles, they have infinite possibilities. Especially the Banshee Race, they are naturally smart and have a higher chance of learning various skills than ordinary demons. Moreover, what Grand Lady Catherine said makes a lot of sense, Banshees as demons are naturally suited for espionage and trickery, making them highly compatible with learning various stealth and thieving techniques, which is why they can successfully become Scouts. And after becoming Scouts, their abilities are enhanced, which laid the foundation for their training this time, not to mention they also have one successful Independent Expedition experience, all in all, as long as they successfully advance, then the Master¡¯s this operation will be more assured!¡± Da Fei suddenly realized! So that¡¯s how it is! Banshees are smart, brother has seen it from you! Now, Da Fei watched tensely at the two obviously slowing down little ones, hey hey! Hang in there! Catherine chuckled: ¡°Can¡¯t you manage this? If you win, you will gain great benefits!¡± Deirdre shouted angrily: ¡°Wake up, if you fail, no food for you! You will go to the battlefield with empty stomachs waiting to die!¡± Da Fei was startled, hey hey hey! Don¡¯t be so harsh to the kids, okay? These are brother¡¯s 350+500+250=1100 Gold Coins treasures! Under the temptation of victory and the threat of failure, the two Little Banshees shuddered, their eyes faintly emitting the red glow common in Demon eyes, and their movements became agile again. Deirdre exclaimed loudly, ¡°Yes! That¡¯s the way!¡± ¡°Go for it!¡± Da Fei tensely clenched his fists. Finally, Catherine chuckled, ¡°Last three, catch them!¡± With a crisp ting, Katrina suddenly tossed three gold coins from each hand into the air. The six gold coins spiraled towards the sky, marking the final moment. Da Fei clenched tight, Katrina¡¯s smile froze, and Deirdre was biting her lip even harder! The gold coins rose, higher and higher, reaching their peak! And in that instant, two little banshees suddenly leaped and flapped their wings, soaring during this nearly still moment of the gold coins, grabbing one with the left hand, and another with the right, then biting another with their mouths! In that moment, two beams of white light descended from the sky, enveloping the two little banshees! ¡°Oh yeah!!!¡± Catherine¡¯s excited scream echoed through the palace! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your Charming Emperor Species has gained improved attributes and acquired new skills! ¡°Oh yeah!!!¡± Da Fei, after much internal struggle, also excitedly jumped up. Deirdre leaned on Da Fei, her eyes shimmering with tears as she sobbed, ¡°The children have grown again, learning so many skills while they¡¯re still so young, it¡¯s hard to imagine how powerful they¡¯ll become when they grow up.¡± Da Fei hugged her shoulders chuckling, ¡°This is the fruit of our love!¡± Hey hey, why so motherly now? You weren¡¯t really going to starve them just now, were you? Selvia then coldly said, ¡°I think they should wear some clothes now.¡± Pff! Pretending I didn¡¯t hear that. As the light faded, the two little banshees landed on the ground, appearing to have grown a bit bigger ¡ª yes, even their chests! Da Fei excitedly said, ¡°Come here, my Little Baby, let your master check your attributes!¡± ¨CUnderage Charming Emperor: Attack 2, Defense 0, Damage 2-3, Health 5, Attack Speed 8, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Advanced Reconnaissance Skill, Stealth, Independent Expedition, Agile Evasion, War Plunder, Chain Shooting. So many special skills! Da Fei¡¯s in-app purchase-laden eyes are blind with excitement! And don¡¯t forget these attributes are already on par with a level 1 Skeleton Soldier¡¯s combat level! What does this mean? This is as if a child can directly compete with full-grown regular troops, how formidable will they be when they grow up? Once grown and they learn the Banshee Race¡¯s own Transformation Skill, Charming Technique, Chain Shooting, they¡¯ll totally be adept at tricking, stealing, and all rogue activities, a tragedy for society!!! Catherine laughed heartily, ¡°Although they didn¡¯t turn into pirates, they¡¯ve learned the pirates¡¯ Agile Evasion and War Plunder, what good kids!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Deirdre nodded, ¡°Indeed, they even self-taught the Banshee Race¡¯s Chain Shooting skill, this makes our mission much easier.¡± Da Fei laughed even more, ¡°Great! Everyone, take a good rest, and then we shall begin our operation!¡± (Note: Agile Evasion: This species has a 20% chance to dodge physical attacks. This effect can be stacked with the Defense sub-skill, Mobile Evasion, and the ability to dodge arrows.

Chapter 92 - Chapter 92 Chapter 89 Infiltrating Behind Enemy Lines Chapter 92: Chapter 89: Infiltrating Behind Enemy Lines Chapter 92: Chapter 89: Infiltrating Behind Enemy Lines The final strategy was completed, and the two Little Banshees took the time to eat and rest. Catherine returned to the cockpit and began piloting the Magic Energy Wind Sailing Flying Ship toward the target location. Da Fei used a Skill Point obtained at level 26 to learn Phantom March, then assembled the Phantom Crossbow Cannon in the Gun Cabin as part of the pre-battle preparations. This operation was mainly a special forces infiltration mission with warship coastal cannon support as a backup. The NPCs had helped as much as they could; it was up to the player, as the Commander, to decide the tactics and troop deployment. It was time for this master to show his expertise and showcase his strategic prowess. The Phantom Crossbow Cannon was assembled, and its legendary glory finally appeared in the world! This was a crossbow cannon so dazzling with magical light and bejeweled brilliance that it was difficult to look at directly. Those unaware might think it was a luxurious limited edition made by a tycoon to show off, but those who knew understood that it indeed was a luxurious limited edition made by a tycoon, but not for show. Other than the material differences, the Phantom Crossbow Cannon¡¯s structure and components were no different from an ordinary crossbow cannon, which meant that physical damage was the same as a regular crossbow cannon. The difference was in the crossbow arrows. Da Fei took out a special crossbow arrow from the machine bag. ¨CPhantom Crossbow Cannon Special Arrow: Enchanted with Master Level Ice Pillar Magic, adding 30 points of Magic Power to the arrow. Now, Destruction Magic finally appeared. Let¡¯s briefly introduce Destruction Magic here. As the name suggests, Destruction Magic includes spells like Fireball, Lightning, Ice Pillar, Meteor Shower, and Chain Lightning. You need to master Destruction Magic Skills to learn them. It is divided into Single-target Attack Magic and Group Attack Magic. Since a hero¡¯s attributes and skills can affect the entire army, it stands to reason that the hero¡¯s attack skills could also affect the entire opposing army. Therefore, Single-target Attack Magic doesn¡¯t just hit one soldier; it hits an entire tactical position, which means an entire troop type! For example, a gunner with 10 health and no Magic Resistance would be annihilated by a single 100-damage Lightning spell, killing 10 gunners. Players might object: ¡°What¡¯s the point in that? I worked hard for days to gather 10 soldiers, and they¡¯re gone in one shot!¡± Don¡¯t worry. The reason a hero is a hero is because they have the power to rally people¡¯s hearts and unify them. If magic attacks the entire army, then the damage is also borne by the entire army. If a player has 11 gunners and encounters a 100-damage Lightning spell, the result isn¡¯t that only 1 soldier remains alive but that 11 soldiers with 0.9 health each are left. The 100 damage is distributed among 11 soldiers, leaving each with 9.1 damage. If there are wounded soldiers in the unit with less than 9 health, then that wounded soldier would become a casualty. This setup prevents situations, typical in traditional games, where a Magic God player could challenge an entire legion, use a Meteor Shower to decimate countless troops, and then make a stylish escape. In short, you have to bring more soldiers when facing a mage. One enjoys the thrill of striking, while the other is at ease taking the hits. In the early stages of the game, where players are running single heroes without any damage-sponging cannon fodder, getting one-shot by magic is not feasible. Since it attacks a tactical position, a problem arises. For example, if a player has 10 gunners and hides 9 from magical attacks in a room, and 1 gunner goes out to reveal themselves to the mage, if a 100-damage Lightning spell strikes, what happens? The answer is that one gunner is killed, while the other 9 remain unharmed. And the power of magic increases with the hero¡¯s Magic Power and the Skill Level of magic skills. Taking Ice Pillar Magic as an example, the damage calculation at each skill level is as follows: Basic Destruction Magic: 60+12xMagic Power, consuming 8 points of Mana. Intermediate Destruction Magic: 72+12xMagic Power, consuming 9 points of Mana. Advanced Destruction Magic: 84+12xMagic Power, consuming 10 points of Mana. Expert Destruction Magic: 96+12xMagic Power, consuming 11 points of Mana. Master Destruction Magic: 108+12xMagic Power, consuming 12 points of Mana. This means that the Master Level arrow Da Fei held, with an additional 30 points of Magic Power, dealt magical damage of 468. Considering that the Hell Race commonly resists fire and fears the cold, the actual damage might be near a thousand! Of course, it was just the basic damage enchanted onto it. Even 468 damage is not particularly impressive. Destruction Magic also has sub-skills like Frost Master, Fiery Fire Master, and Storm Master that can significantly boost spell damage, as well as composite sub-skills with other abilities. A magic hero becomes undoubtedly powerful in the later stages when they resolve the issue of mana sustainability. At that time, war would be a tycoon war where a fireball could wipe out a whole army of cannon fodder. Group attack magic, of course, targets multiple tactical positions, with Chain Lightning being the most notable example. Although its power isn¡¯t very strong, it indeed affects the entire army without exception. Looking at this arrow, Da Fei¡¯s inner shock was imaginable. How many miscellaneous soldiers could be blasted to death with one shot? Of course, killing enemies wasn¡¯t the remarkable part, but the fact that the crossbow cannon¡¯s range exceeded that of any mage! It was a strike beyond visual range! When could I develop a Phantom Crossbow Cannon myself? By then, with 32 Phantom Crossbow Cannons in my luxury battleship, a row of shots would make the magic explode everywhere, wahaha! A sailor reported: ¡°Captain, we¡¯ve reached our destination!¡± Da Fei took a deep breath, placing all the special crossbow arrows in the backpack into the ammo box, then patted the sailor¡¯s shoulder: ¡°Do your best work!¡± ¡°Yes, Captain!¡± The Flying approached the boundary of the barrier and hid its massive form behind a forest of tree roots. Then, the Flying lowered the landing craft, and Da Fei, along with a rowing sailor, quietly rowed a small boat to continue forward. At this moment, two Little Charm Emperors quietly flew over the small boat in Stealth. Seeing the golden barrier¡¯s light curtain, the small boat stopped. Da Fei activated Stealth and Phantom March, and under the effect of dual skills, Da Fei¡¯s entire figure blurred like a shadow. As for the Little Banshees, they didn¡¯t have shadows at all; Da Fei could barely see they existed. Great! Just the effect needed. This time, Da Fei, as the commander, personally came to the front line to enhance their God-level skills. If the action failed, Da Fei was ready to sacrifice himself, but he had to distract the enemy to buy time for the two Little Banshees to escape. To the Captain, if he were to die in battle, he would resurrect back in the Captain¡¯s cabin. If all the sailors perished, they would only return to the city. Da Fei silently slipped off the small boat into the water, carefully diving toward the barrier. The lake water of the Pool of Radiance might be terrible strong acid to Demons, but for a good person like Da Fei, it posed no problem at all. All actions aimed to approach the target without the knowledge of ghosts or gods. Even to avoid being detected by Demons¡¯ detection spells, the Spell blessings strongly requested by Selvia were not added. He reached the shore without being discovered. Da Fei still didn¡¯t dare go ashore, staying motionless in the water. Da Fei began to direct the two Little Banshees to fly out through the barrier and quietly observe from the air. When soldiers are under a hero¡¯s leadership and command, it means that their vision is shared with the hero. Two teams of mobile patrol soldiers made up of Nightmare Beasts and Hellhounds appeared. Hellhounds! Da Fei immediately took a breath and submerged. Yes, Hellhound noses are incredibly keen, and only by hiding in the water could he avoid being detected. This was the reason Da Fei was soaking in the water and not going ashore. The two patrol teams passed by. If not now, then when? As if emerging from water, Da Fei crawled through the barrier, crawling past the 0-level Demon Infant workers who bounced around with effort. If my God-level skills combined with Stealth were discovered by these weaklings, there would be no justice! At last, he followed the pre-battle planned route and crawled into a construction puddle left by what seemed like a Siege Car on the shore. Oh yeah! Success! In the puddle, Hellhounds wouldn¡¯t detect him. Now was the time to show off this master¡¯s skill in troop control. Da Fei directed the two banshees to cautiously fly near the observation window of a newly completed Magic Tower, peeking in with their half-transparent faces. More accurately, this kind of tower should be called a Magic Watchtower; it couldn¡¯t compare to the true Magic Towers that Grand Mages studied in, of course, nor to their cost, otherwise it wouldn¡¯t be affordable for mass production. Inside the tower room, various masked mages were adding potions, casting Spells on Arrays, transporting spell materials from boxes, lecturing imps, flipping books, busy with hectic activity. Damn, there were a lot of people, but their flustered, unpracticed appearance indeed didn¡¯t seem like veterans, probably Mage Apprentices, as Deirdre had guessed. The room was lined with various apparatuses emitting lights and bottles filled with strange boiling liquids, intricate-looking, inciting a strong desire to cause chaos. However, it wasn¡¯t the right time to act. So, Da Fei sent a Little Charm Emperor to see the first floor below the Magic Tower. The first floor appeared to be a storage warehouse, with various imps and Demon Infants rushing up the spiral staircase, carrying boxes upstairs. Watching those imps trembling as they carried boxes, Da Fei sighed; it was clearly inviting me to give it a helpful nudge! Da Fei immediately directed the Little Charm Emperor toward the frontmost box on the staircase, lightly stepping on it! The box tilted that way! An imp shrieked, ¡°Wow!!!¡± Clang! The box slipped, tumbling down the stairs, crashing into the boxes behind it, amidst shrieks and clangs, like a toppled row of dominoes, the entire stairway cargo line collapsed in chaos, instantly alarming the mages upstairs. ¨C¡°You idiots!!! Those are precious materials!!!¡± Some mages went downstairs, others turned around¨Cnow was the moment, infiltrate! Da Fei directed the upstairs Charm Emperor to fly into the room, hiding beside a shelf full of instruments and bottles. Excellent, unnoticed. Then let¡¯s sabotage this shelf. The Little Banshee quietly flew to the top of the shelf, then¨Cpush! Creak¨Ccreak¨Cthe shelf swayed slightly, damn! Didn¡¯t topple! Da Fei immediately directed another Charm Emperor to fly to the upstairs window. The room was still in chaos. Excellent, continue infiltration! Two working together! Creak¨Ccreak¨Ccreak¨C The creaking from the shelf startled the mage in the room. As he turned, he saw the shelf toppling like the sky falling, exclaiming in horror, ¡°Ah!!!¡± Crash!!! Boom!!! The shelf collapsed with a crash, glass bottles exploded violently; smoke from fallen dust and exploded fumes filled the room with pandemonium! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Great opportunity, retreat! ¨C¡°Idiots!!! What now!¡± yelled the angry mage¡¯s voice from downstairs! At that moment, the Magic Array flickered uncertainly in the room, while the crystal ball, wrapped in demon light outside the watchtower, flickered like an old fluorescent tube before finally dimming! Oh yeah! It worked! Now it was time for the battleship to deploy! As long as it was ready before the tower recovered, I could blast open a breach. (Request for all kinds of votes! Although I don¡¯t know what bright moon is, I request anyway. Wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) Chapter 93 - Chapter 93 Chapter 90 Growing through Battle Chapter 93: Chapter 90: Growing through Battle Chapter 93: Chapter 90: Growing through Battle The watchtower became even busier, with curses and scolding clearly reaching Da Fei hiding in the puddle. ¡ª-¡°Idiots! Who did this! How could the scaffold possibly collapse!¡± ¡ª-¡°You trash, clean up all the debris within 2 minutes, otherwise you¡¯ll become part of the trash!¡± Having succeeded in the first strike, Da Fei dared not make any rash moves, and immediately directed the two Little Charm Emperors to fly high into the sky to a safe spot. However, as the Little Charm Emperors flew over the top of the tower holding the Flower Demons captive, Da Fei suddenly saw a large golden exclamation mark¨Ca task exclamation mark bursting forth from above the head of a Flower Demon locked in a cage! A Task! As expected! Just like when he encountered the Captain at the bottom of the sunken ship, players could only see the exclamation mark task hints if they were on the scene in person, reconnaissance and photography were not feasible. The task goes without saying, it must be to rescue the Flower Demons. Meanwhile, with the extinguishing of the watchtower¡¯s lights, the Magic Array that held these Flower Demons captive also faintly showed signs of disappearing. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched¨Cshould he rescue them or not? What if they restore the Magic Tower before the battleships arrive? What if my battleship destroys the Magic Tower and crushes these Flower Demons to death? And on top of the tower, the guard force consisted only of four Horned Demon Governors and several dozen Level 0 Demon Infants carrying water, all weak as trash! To be exact, these could not be considered forces, but mere workers. In normal circumstances, how could a player undertaking this task possibly have flying soldiers to air-drop like Da Fei does? How could normal players possibly bypass all surveillance and sneak directly into the tower to sabotage the watchtower like me? This meant I was doing extraordinary things in extraordinary circumstances! If not now, then when? Da Fei began to quickly calculate the combat power comparison between both sides. ¡ª-Horned Demon Governor: Attack 2, Defense 3, Health 13, Damage 1-3, Attack Speed 8, Move Speed 5, Special Skills: Intimidate, Enrage. This is a standard form of the Hell Race¡¯s Second-level Soldiers, the low-level form of the previously mentioned Hell Elite Second-level Soldier Screaming Jumping Demon with the reputation of mixing into the ranks of higher-tier soldiers due to their higher health and abundance. Of course, compared with the same level 17 HP zombies, these two advantages are again completely overshadowed. ¡ª-Demon Infant: Attack 0, Defense 0, Health 2, Damage 0-1, Attack Speed 6, Move Speed 6, Special Skills: Laborer, Mana Collection, Unable to Join Battle. This is the Hell Race¡¯s peasant, easy to kill, combat power negligible. As for the Charming Emperor¡¯s attributes: Attack 2, Defense 0, Damage 2-3, Health 5, Attack Speed 8, now under my command, the attributes are: Attack 21, Defense 1, Damage 3-4, Health 7, Attack Speed 9, Morale 3, Luck 1 (Note: Da Fei is Level 26, 18 Strategic Attack, plus the 5 attribute points from the Navigator, and 7 attribute points from leveling up, a total of 12 Attribute Points still undecided whether to add to Defense or not. Captain¡¯s Sword provides a land-based army boost of Attack, Defense, Damage, Attack Speed +1, the achievement of 100 consecutive victories gives the whole army +2 Health,) Then, balancing out the Governor¡¯s 3 Defense against the Charming Emperor¡¯s 3 Attack, it¡¯s 18 Attack. Each one point of Attack boosts damage by 5%, which makes it 90%, so 3-4 Damage becomes 5.7-7.6, plus my Master Level Archery¡¯s 50% increase to ranged damage, it¡¯s then 8.5-11.4. With the Governor¡¯s 13 HP, two Banshees can easily kill one Governor with a single shot and even waste damage! Let¡¯s do it! As long as we succeed, I¡¯ll immediately take these Flower Demons and flee. Even if we fail, we just need to shout for the two Little Charm Emperors to fly away! skillfully using flying stunts is the mark of an expert, and I, am precisely an expert. Da Fei commanded the two Little Banshees to silently descend near the cage holding the Flower Demon Instructor tasked with the mission, at that moment Da Fei finally saw her name¨CFlower Demon Instructor! I see! With barracks and an instructor, this task was definitely about rescuing them back to the barracks within the barrier, then to repair the barracks for development and growth! Continue to approach! The Flower Demon Instructor spoke, ¡°You must have been sent by the heroes to rescue me, hero, please save us! Our sisters are enslaved by the Demons, constantly providing energy to weaken the World Tree Barrier, we can¡¯t let the Demons¡¯ schemes succeed!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have received the Epic Quest ¡°Purifying the Pool of Radiance¡± sub-quest ¡°Rescue Enslaved Flower Demons¡±! ¡ª-Task Hint: The more Flower Demons you rescue, the more it will benefit the completion progress of purifying the Pool of Light. Current number of rescued Flower Demons: 0. As expected! I easily saw through the game developers¡¯ mannerisms. And once the Flower Demons spoke, it immediately alarmed those four Governors! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Phantom March has been exposed, battle begins! Then battle it is! The two Little Charm Emperors waved their little hands, and two Magic Bullets whistled out, -9, -4! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your troops have killed a Horned Demon Governor, you gain 11 Experience points, and your underage Charming Emperor has grown! Growth? Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched¨Cdo minors really grow up faster on the battlefield? Without further thought, the two Little Charm Emperors fired another shot and took out another Military Governor. The remaining two Military Governors let out a furious roar as the dozens of water-carrying Demon Infants hopped and jumped into the fray to join the encirclement. Pff, flying + ranged troops, dealing with these slowpokes with only 5 Move Speed, it¡¯s just too easy! After the two Little Charm Emperors blasted away the third Horned Demon that charged at them, Da Fei immediately made them take flight, flew over the enemies¡¯ heads to the other side of the tower top, and with a raise of their hands, they instantly killed two pitiful Demon Infants with just 2 HP each. You¡¯re all children, you have nothing to complain about, blame the fact that you were behind right from the start. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your troops have killed a Demon Infant, you have gained 1 Experience point, and your minor Charm Emperors have grown! Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched again, it was confirmed. The more they killed, the faster they would grow up! What would they become if they slaughtered these several dozen Demon Infants? How many would they have to kill to mature? If they reached the predicted stature of Level 7 Soldiers upon maturing, wouldn¡¯t this infiltration mission be like the legendary special forces of the Allies? The legendary 007? If so, could he avoid launching a costly siege? Da Fei¡¯s mind raced, but his actions didn¡¯t stop. Flying back and forth, in just a couple of ups and downs, he annihilated the dozens of Demon Infants. Wahaha! So useful, these special soldiers are too handy! Flying ranged troops, seems like they haven¡¯t appeared anywhere in the game yet, this is simply heaven-defying! ¨CSystem Prompt: The battle is over, your troops have re-entered Phantom Marching Form. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Charming Emperor¡¯s Army has used the War Plunder Skill to retrieve a Magic Bottle holding 17 points of Mana from the corpses of the Demon Infants. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Charming Emperor¡¯s Army has used the War Plunder Skill to retrieve a Magic Bottle holding 28 points of Mana from the corpses of the Demon Infants. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Charming Emperor¡¯s Army has used the War Plunder Skill to extract 19 points of Mana from the Magic Bottles of the Demon Infants¡¯ corpses. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Charming Emperor¡¯s Army has used the War Plunder Skill to extract 21 points of Mana from the Magic Bottles of the Demon Infants¡¯ corpses. Wahaha! This War Plunder really came in handy! Although War Plunder can only rob one item, Magic Bottles are different; you can concentrate the mana from other bottles. Speaking of which, because of the existence of the Level 0 special soldier Demon Infant, which has a special skill for collecting Mana, one of the biggest advantages of the Hell Race is that they never lack Mana. It¡¯s a pity that players still have problems with Mana before they have a castle and Demon Infants. And the Level 1 Demon Child soldiers of the Hell Race, which are just bigger Demon Infants with plump bodies and a pair of small fleshy wings, are adorable little red Demons with a special skill to steal Magic. Whenever an opposing hero or Magic Species casts a spell, they can steal that Magic and replenish their own heroes or Casting Army. They are truly the strategic force among Level 1 Soldiers, shaming the Second-level Soldiers Horned Demons, and of course, they are the first target of the enemy Commander in a battle. Da Fei let the two Little Banshees gleefully search the bodies while he eagerly checked the basic attributes of the Charm Emperors. ¨CGrowing Charm Emperor: Attack 4, Defense 1, Damage 3-4, Health 8, Attack Speed 8¡­ Wahaha! The name changed to ¡°Growing Charm Emperor,¡± and they gained 2 Attack, 1 Defense, 1 Damage, and 3 Health. That¡¯s on par with Level 1 Soldiers, and their damage is even approaching that of Level 3 Soldiers! So that¡¯s how they grow, by continuously killing enemies! And at this moment, the light from the Array at the top of the tower disappeared, and all the imprisoned Flower Demons regained their freedom! ¨CTask Hint: You have rescued 105 Flower Demons! 105 Flower Demons have joined your army and will follow your commands! ¨CTask Hint: Flower Demons are very fragile, melee combat is not advised. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Flower Demon Army has entered Phantom Marching Form. Oh yeah! Rescued at last, two pieces of good news! Just then, the Flower Demon Instructor in the cage shouted, ¡°Hero, quickly take the sisters and escape into the Barrier, don¡¯t worry about me!¡± Oh man! There¡¯s one still locked in the cage! Is a key needed? The normal course of the quest must involve attacking up from the bottom of the Watchtower, killing a leader with the key or something, right? Damn, how am I supposed to restore the barracks without the Instructor? I have to rescue the Instructor! At that moment, another loud shout came from downstairs: ¡°You fools! Hurry up to the rooftop and check¨Cif one slave escapes, I¡¯ll feed your heads to the Three-headed Dog!¡± Da Fei was startled¨Ca party was coming from below! It¡¯s a NPC Mage Apprentice, whose combat strength cannot be measured by the data of regular soldiers. Fight or withdraw? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei quickly opened the attributes of the Flower Demon troop; these Flower Demons, who had just been freed from torture, only had 2-3 points of Mana on average, not even enough to cast a Swarm Disturbance spell. There¡¯s no fight, we have to run! Wait a minute! Didn¡¯t the Little Banshees just loot a lot of Mana bottles from those Demon Infants? How much was it? 300 points! Using all of it could just allow each Flower Demon to cast a spell! Wahaha! A normal player without the War Plunder Skill can¡¯t replenish the Flower Demons¡¯ Mana and could only run, but I¡¯m not normal! I choose to fight! With more than a hundred Flower Demons, each casting one spell, are we still afraid of not being able to take down one Apprentice? If we really can¡¯t, it¡¯s not too late to retreat then! (PS: Thank you for the suggestions from book fans, I have removed the Mana consumption setting from the previous chapter, a spell will use exactly as much Mana as it should. Of course, it does not affect the plot. Regarding the setting of the whole army sharing damage for Destruction Magic, it mainly differs in online games compared to single-player games. Even in single-player, there¡¯s a shameless H&R tactic in Heroic Might, where a dungeon hero with very high Magic Attack brings a few troops and charges to use one, or even two, lightning strikes to kill the opponent¡¯s most valuable dozen or so ranged troops, then flee or fight to death happily. After two or three back-and-forths like this, the opponent runs out of soldiers, which is the so-called wolf pack tactic. If online games were like this, then it would be unplayable for players leading troops, and National Wars would be impossible to fight. Happy holidays to everyone, and I¡¯m looking for all kinds of votes!) Chapter 94 - Chapter 94 Chapter 91 Defying Heaven Level 0 Soldier Flower Chapter 94: Chapter 91: Defying Heaven Level 0 Soldier: Flower Demon Chapter 94: Chapter 91: Defying Heaven Level 0 Soldier: Flower Demon Here, let¡¯s talk about the Flower Demon again. ¨CFlower Demon: Attack 0, Defense 0, Damage 1-2, Life 2, Attack Speed 13, Command Value 0, Special Skill: Gardener, Flying Creature, Swarm Disturbance, Flower Pollen Strike, Ancient Tree Coexistence, Cannot Be Deployed. The Flower Demon was born in the ancient spiritual tree, famously the most extraordinary level 0 unit not only because of the mentioned Ancient Tree Coexistence but because as a level 0 unit, it naturally had 10 points of Mana, allowing it to cast the Basic Arcane Swarm Disturbance spell twice. The damage from Swarm Disturbance wasn¡¯t high; its essence lay in the word ¡°disturbance.¡± If hit by this spell, soldiers would either clutch their heads or frantically wave their arms, resulting in chaos in this unit. There was also a chance of being blinded (getting stung in the eyes). In short, it was a rather perverted spell but ineffective against the Undead, mechanical beings, and Spiritual Creatures. The damage from Swarm Disturbance under Basic Arcane = 3 + 8 x Magic Power, with a Mana consumption of 5. Units didn¡¯t have magical attributes, so the Flower Demon¡¯s spell damage was the base value of 3 points, which was negligible. But that was damage from a single one; if over a hundred attacked simultaneously, that would mean 300 damage, which was quite considerable. Plus, they could cast it twice! In late-game siege defenses, Flower Demons would number in the millions, so the accumulated damage from the swarms was astronomical! Anyone thinking of attacking the Elf City had to consider the Flower Demon¡¯s damage. And the Druid was hailed as a God-level monster due to its Advanced Lightning Technique without Magic Power, but compared to the sheer number of Flower Demons, it didn¡¯t stand a chance. God-level and extraordinary weren¡¯t of the same class! While the Flower Demon¡¯s magic was spectacular, its melee attack was even more perverted. ¨CFlower Pollen Strike: When the Flower Demon attacked, it would release suffocating pollen into the enemy¡¯s nose and mouth, irritating their eyes with a certain chance of interrupting the enemy¡¯s current attack. This was ineffective against ancient trees, machinery, and Spiritual Creatures. When the Flower Pollen Strike was deployed, pollen would fill the sky in spectacular fashion, having the aura of a domineering mixed-river white dragon scattering lime! Although the attack interruption effect wasn¡¯t as infallible as Da Fei¡¯s Anemone King¡¯s Enchanted Hundred Hits, if a swarm of Flower Demons besieged a single soldier, the unfortunate soldier might not even have a chance to strike back and would directly be mobbed to death. So this special skill was akin to attacks not being counterattacked. Of course, when it really came to the point where the Flower Demon had to engage in melee, that meant the Elf City was about to be breached. So, open test experts sighed, if the Flower Demon could be deployed, who knows how many 2nd, 3rd level soldiers it could wipe out without losing a single unit! It could even take down some God-level monsters without any issues at all. The only ones capable of countering the Flower Demons were the powerful Undead Race and the Alchemy Magic Statues from the Mage Academy. Now, in a unique mission scenario, Da Fei nearly achieved the effect of deploying the Flower Demon. As an expert, how could I retreat with an extraordinary unit? Even if I ended up sacrificing dozens of Flower Demons, if it could provide growth experience for my Charming Emperor special soldier, it was worth it. Unconventional NPC soldiers like Mage Apprentices must be quite valuable. The frantic footsteps in the stairwell drew nearer, and Da Fei had already divided the troops into four formations: front, back, left, and right, surrounding the stairway. Four Mages rushed to the rooftop, exclaiming upon seeing the empty ground of corpses: ¡°The slaves have rebelled and escaped!¡± And at that moment, a massive swarm descended from the sky! Simultaneously, a large group of Flower Demons flew in for the attack! ¨CSystem Prompt: Battle begins! Phantom March effect disappears! In an instant, the sound of buzzing bees, screams, and slapping echoed everywhere, with dark demon bees and dazzling flower pollen filling the air! Meanwhile, the two Charming Emperors didn¡¯t miss the opportunity to assist from the periphery! The swarm began to dim, and another hive of bees descended from the sky! Yes, Da Fei had organized the Flower Demon into several groups, releasing swarms in rotation¨Cno matter what, the swarm couldn¡¯t stop! Otherwise, if they managed to throw a fireball or something, the consequences would be unthinkable. The swarm¡¯s role wasn¡¯t in its damage but in its chaos special effect, a critical factor for melee, possibly causing indiscriminate damage due to frenzied swings during an assault, but for Mages and the like, the effect was exceptionally beneficial. Swarm chaos + Flower Pollen attack interruption, this pair of small but perverted skills established the extraordinary fame of the Flower Demon! A pitiful scream ensued, and a Mage Apprentice fell first, hitting the ground with his head already swollen into a massive purple flesh pouch, a truly tragic sight! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your unit killed a Demon Mage Apprentice, you gained 1,400 experience points, your minor Charming Emperor grew! Oh yes! Truly worthy of an NPC, such ample experience, plenty of nourishment! More screams followed, as the remaining three Apprentices turned into nourishment one after another! Da Fei laughed heartily! What does extraordinary mean? This is it! Looking across all troops, how many units could be besieged without striking back? An epic quest paired with extraordinary units was only right! With level 0 units being this terrifying, the Elf Clan truly deserved its reputation as a long-standing mighty race! No wonder so many players and studios were eager to join the Elf Clan; it wasn¡¯t merely about their beauty! Just then, a violent shout came from downstairs: ¡°You bunch of useless ones, can¡¯t even watch over a group of slaves!¡± Da Fei sneered coldly; this guy was clueless that he was on the brink of death! Very well, this guy must be the leader or some key-holding captain. Come, I¡¯ll let you die knowing. The loud-mouthed Mage roared while charging up the staircase¨Cbuzz! A swarm fell from above, and a group of Flower Demons continued their assault! ¡°Ahhhhh! It¡¯s an attack! It¡¯s an attack!!¡± The loudmouth finally grasped the situation and shouted loudly, then a clump of pollen flew into his mouth: ¡°Cough cough¨Ccough¨C¡± Finally, he coughed to death! Compared to the apprentices, he had much, much more blood. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your unit killed 1 Demon Guardian Mage, you gained 6,000 experience! You have obtained the Flower Demon Instructor¡¯s cage key. At that moment, two Charming Emperors flashed with white light. ¨CSystem Prompt: After intense battle, your Charming Emperor units grew! Hahahaha! Flashing white light! This must be a big leap in improvement! Worth it! So worth it! Not to mention having saved everyone without losing a single unit and advancing both of my Little Babies by a stage, watching as the Charming Emperors¡¯ forms resembled budding teenage girls, Da Fei grinned from ear to ear; the skin on these teenage-sized Charming Emperors was eerily similar to Deirdre, a soft pink very much like a human¡¯s, completely unlike the ordinary Banshee¡¯s earthy, startling red skin! Were they truly born of the same mother? Unharmonized Banshee versions? Da Fei excitedly checked the Charming Emperor¡¯s attributes immediately. ¨CGrowing Charming Emperor: Attack 8, Defense 2, Damage 5-8, Life 22, Attack Speed 10. Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched; the Banshee¡¯s growth was incredibly rapid, approaching the standard of regular adult Banshees! Attack attributes were even 2 points higher than adult Banshees! If that were the case, wouldn¡¯t subsequent operations be increasingly smoother? ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Charming Emperor unit used the War Plunder Skill to recover 375 gold coins from the Demon Guardian¡¯s body. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Charming Emperor unit used the War Plunder Skill to recover 25 gold coins from the Mage Apprentice¡¯s body. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Damn! There¡¯s money to pick up too! Truly a great skill, a great skill! But no time for that now; the task at hand is to save people immediately! The cage opened, and the Flower Demon Instructor said excitedly, ¡°Thank you, hero! We should rescue more sisters!¡± At this moment, ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Flying is now at the target location, would you like to execute the pre-battle plan and attack? Pre-battle plan attack? No, no, now the Flower Demons are also rescued, this tower has no value for a forced attack anymore. The immediate priority is to retreat with these Flower Demons with no Mana back to the ship to settle them in safely. The Flower Demons are too fragile; no mishaps can occur. (Requesting all sorts of votes!) Chapter 95 - Chapter 95 Chapter 92 Sniper Before the Breakout Chapter 95: Chapter 92: Sniper Before the Breakout Chapter 95: Chapter 92: Sniper Before the Breakout As Da Fei was preparing to beat a retreat, the rolling thunder of iron hooves came from the ground, and a group of Horse Dog Patrols sped over, kicking up clouds of dust. Clearly, the sudden darkening of the tower had attracted the attention of the patrols. Da Fei felt his heart tighten. Trouble! For the Charming Emperor¡¯s Army, having the special skill of an Independent Expedition Scout was no big deal; they could be called to flee at any time. But not the Flower Demons! These regular troops had to escape with their hero. If it weren¡¯t for the game rules restricting them, Da Fei would surely blurt out ¡°Just fly into the barrier and forget about me!¡± But the game is the game; if the commander Da Fei couldn¡¯t escape, neither could they. Once Da Fei was taken down, his troops would have to either fight to the death or scatter like birds and beasts according to the game rules. In short, this rescue mission was futile. Fortunately, Da Fei had still kept a battleship cannon to cover his escape. They just need to pave the way forcefully with the Crossbow Cannon, especially now that the watchtower has drawn their attention, making it more convenient as they haven¡¯t discovered the golden barrier and the warship within it. Here they come! A Blood Armor Knight riding a Nightmare Beast charged ahead, the famous 8-tier soldier, the Hell Baron, right? Da Fei didn¡¯t care what title it held, at most it was a BOSS for him to kill; he had slain hundreds, if not a thousand BOSSes before, not to mention now that sixteen Crossbow Cannons were aiming at them! This Blood Armor Knight rode to the foot of the watchtower and bellowed in rage, ¡°Damn it! What¡¯s going with this watchtower! Why isn¡¯t it working!¡± Da Fei was momentarily startled, an 8-tier soldier that could talk? While troops could say simple commands like ¡°YES, SIR,¡± this was clearly more than a simple command. No one answered. The impatient Blood Armor Knight dismounted, walked up to the door of the watchtower, and kicked it fiercely, ¡°Open up!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened in shock. There was a fiery red Hero Aura under this brute¡¯s feet! Holy shit! He was a Hell Race¡¯s hero! He hadn¡¯t noticed that when the hero was riding a flame-engulfed Hell Horse previously! In that instant, Da Fei made a snap decision¨Cblast him! The Phantom Crossbow Cannons fired twice in quick succession! All the cannons aimed at the main door! Both the warship and Da Fei were in the same battle area; as the supreme commander, Da Fei could naturally command the troops on-site. This was the convenience of the game. At that moment, the hero roared, ¡°Daring to neglect duties! I¡¯ll strangle you myself!¡± Another kick¨CBoom! The watchtower¡¯s door burst open explosively! Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened in shock. That¡¯s the door of the watchtower, equivalent to a small city gate! Could his strength alone smash city gates? Just how ferocious was this hero! Thinking of how powerful the hero he was targeting was, Da Fei¡¯s heart raced to his throat! Simultaneously, a more fanatic thought uncontrollably surged in his mind¨Ckill him! What would killing such a powerful hero mean? Such a mighty hero was simply unheard of in regular times! Right, 8-tier soldiers were the imperial guards of the Demon King Hall, not seen by ordinary people in ordinary circumstances. What was an 8-tier hero equivalent to? A 7-tier troop in the Human Race is an Angel, so this 8-tier hero must be akin to an Angel Leader or something? Now, this scenario where my sixteen Crossbow Cannons, known as the legendary Phantom Crossbow Cannons, were aiming at him yet he was completely unaware¨Cit was a once in a lifetime opportunity! Da Fei clenched his fist tight! ¡ª-Clang! Another fierce kick, and the watchtower door burst open with a loud bang! ¡ª-Now is the time!!! From within the barrier, a dozen Crossbow Arrows shot out. Perhaps the loud noise of kicking the door masked the sound of the Crossbow Arrows, or perhaps the hero, who was just raising his leg to kick, couldn¡¯t adjust his position or strength, only managed to tilt his head slightly¡ª-Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!!! Amidst the spray of ice shards, he was blasted into the watchtower! This was the effect they needed, and Da Fei was so thrilled he almost jumped! In that instant, the outside troops went berserk! ¡ª-Whoo-whoo-whoo-whoo!!! A second volley from the Crossbow Cannon followed, bombarding into the watchtower door, with ice shards from the Phantom Crossbow Arrows exploding again! During the bombing of ice shards, the dozens of Hellhounds from the patrol outside could no longer withstand the second magic attack and burst violently! Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened in shock! No system prompt! The hero wasn¡¯t dead yet! Ten plus Crossbow Arrows and a Magic Arrow directly hit his back, and he¡¯s still not dead! Could this be a Boss-level hero? A hero like Renior? Saturate the attack!!! Blast! Continue blasting! Furiously demolish this tower!!! Da Fei clenched his teeth, his expression contorted grotesquely! The entire Demon Camp¡¯s alarm sounded! Large patrol squads began to converge here; at the same time, the gates of the Demon Race¡¯s mechanical workshop rumbled open, and the huge sound of machinery grinding echoed throughout the camp. Although unknown, it sounded like a secret weapon. Da Fei¡¯s heart tangled in knots. Battling a hero who could annihilate level 8 soldiers seemed utterly unrealistic, didn¡¯t it? He wasn¡¯t resigned! He would wait for one last cannon shot, successful or not, and then break through forcefully! One second! Two seconds! Time seemed to come to a standstill for Da Fei. He had never imagined that the passage of time could feel so slow; so the slow-motion replays of critical goals in TV shows were indeed a real thing! That was the actual portrayal of the world from a player¡¯s viewpoint! As if transcending time and space, a row of Crossbow Cannons pierced through the golden screen! At this moment, Da Fei felt his vision twisting! Was it the sweat blurring his eyes? Was he hallucinating from the tension? ¡ª Boom Boom Boom Boom!!! Debris flew around the Watchtower! Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened! It wasn¡¯t sweat blurring his vision, nor was it a hallucination, but indeed something appeared before him! A red object not far in front of him! It was a Blood Armor Knight, its back bristling with Crossbow Arrows and coated in frost! Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! This was the Teleportation Movement of a Great Demon! He transcended even a Great Demon; he could teleport! He moved to a position where the current range of the Crossbow Cannon couldn¡¯t reach! He, kneeling on the ground, wasn¡¯t in good condition! Finish him off!!! In that instant, without thinking of anything else, Da Fei swung his hand, and the hidden Flower Demon Charm Emperor in the illusion leapt forward! ¡ª System Prompt: Your troops have engaged in battle, the effects of Phantom March are lost! Faced with the sudden onslaught by the overpowering Flower Demon, the hero of level 8 soldiers let out a shrill and desperate scream: ¡°Help!!!¡± The Hell Horse Army at the Watchtower entrance, indecisive a moment ago, now spurred their blazing hooves and charged over furiously! Da Fei realized his mistake, and this one could mean scattering the Flower Demon Army like birds and beasts. No, even if it was a mistake, he would brave the onslaught to finish off this hero! He could still send away the Charm Emperor before the defeat! Da Fei charged towards the critically wounded hero amidst the swirling sparkling dust, with a chrysanthemum reaching first, followed by a spear thrusting like a dragon! ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! You¡¯ve defeated the Epic Hero Asmode, gaining Experience +500,000! You receive 20,000 Gold Coins! You¡¯ve acquired the enemy¡¯s strategic treasure ¡°Misfortune Hourglass¡±! ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! You earned the achievement ¡°Third Campaign Victory¡±, awarding a Command Power +10.

The Nightmare Technique is temporarily out of control. A glimmer of hope for a decisive victory, Da Fei was overjoyed! Among the system prompts earlier, was there a hint that the Charming Emperor became a qualified soldier? Hahaha! But now wasn¡¯t the time to check their attribute status; the current goal was to escape the enemy, dash towards the barrier, and head for the beach! Amidst the shrill alarms that echoed through the camp, the nearest mobile patrol galloped forward with thunderous iron hooves and billowing dust! ¨CSwish, swish, swish! Two rows of crossbow arrows burst through the barrier, shattering the ice chips, sending horses tumbling and flesh flying! Hahaha! Those who block me, fall away! The golden barrier shimmered like the finish line of a hundred-meter dash, the alarms echoing in the camp like the deafening cheers of spectators, and the frenzied patrol soldiers were like lagging contestants making one last challenge to the champion! Da Fei made his final sprint towards the finish line, saw the blurred silhouette of the Flying on the other side of the light, and heard the beautiful music of the crossbow cannon¡¯s blasts¨Cfinish line! Crossed! Victory! Hahaha! Da Fei¡¯s laughter echoed above the Pool of Radiance, causing all the beetles to tremble! Yes, tremble, beetles!!! ¡­ Shergo Demon Palace. Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s professional player, China Region¡¯s number one in Hell, Lei Ren, with the game ID Lei Huolong, sat quietly on the steps in front of the hall, waiting for the final moment to come. For hours, he had been chatting nonstop, constantly calling people; he was incredibly excited, thoroughly enjoying the process. After being on TV for the past few hours, he transformed from an unknown backup player into a national war celebrity in the China Region. The feeling of rising to fame overnight was indescribable. After overcoming his initial shyness, he quickly adapted to his new status, knowing that he¡¯d hit it big. The boss was hoping to use this national war as a star-making opportunity! Yes, he was the rising star in the China Region, even in the World Zone! When Dragon Slayer Guild first joined Heroic Creation Era, the boss invested a considerable amount of money in the lottery. Fortunately, the lottery yielded many powerful Undead Heroes, especially Chang Liang¡¯s account¡¯s special skill, which the boss kept a secret and regarded as a secret weapon. Even Lei Ren, who was part of the same professional team as him, didn¡¯t know what Chang Liang¡¯s special skill was. In any case, the guild¡¯s primary development direction was set on the Undead, and the Undead was, indeed, a highly popular, cool, and powerful race. During the lottery, other race accounts were drawn, such as Lei Huolong¡¯s Hell Race special skill ¡°Hell Dog Master¡±¨Cthe hero gains 1 attack and defense point for Hellhounds every 2 levels. This special skill was nicknamed Dog King. Primary combat unit skills were all good skills. The Level 3 Soldier Hellhound, as the core unit of the Hell Race, combined mobility, charge, output, and fodder production, was definitely a good skill. Giving this account to a general peripheral member was a waste, so Lei Ren, the newly qualified professional player, took it over. And this account was indeed worthy of assigning a professional player. ¨CHell Three-headed Dog: Small Demon unit, Attack 4, Defense 2, Damage 4-6, Life 15, Attack Speed 11, Move Speed 22, Command Value 2, Special Skill: Triple Attack, Interrupt Attack. Triple Attack means it can simultaneously attack three people standing in a row in front, and troops usually form a battle array. Hence, a Hellhound¡¯s bite typically hits three, so its actual damage output is not 4-6, but 12-18! That¡¯s a Level 5 Soldier standard! Interrupt Attack goes without saying; take the Flower Demon as an example, if a group of Hellhounds surrounded the enemy, the enemy would be unable to fight back¨Cit¡¯s an absolute counterattack block, unless allied forces help, otherwise, the enemy would be bitten to death. For a Hell Race without ranged attacks in the first three levels and with the Second-level Soldiers being worthless, the Hellhound carried many responsibilities for the Hell Race. Among various races, the Hellhound was undoubtedly one of the top-level Level 3 Soldiers, comparable to the Jungle Hunter. However, the unfortunate fact was, a mere 15 life points for a Hellhound was far from sufficient. Thus, the Dog King special skill was extremely useful. Meanwhile, the elite form of the Hellhound, the Hellfire Breath Dog, is an existence that shocked and terrified all other races, nicknamed Little Fire Dragon. It could spew flames from its three heads, causing widespread burn damage to enemies while biting, entirely unlike ordinary three-headed dogs. Of course, the elite form of troops was typically unique to NPC forces, difficult for players to acquire. Therefore, the company assigned Lei Huolong the mission of acquiring the Flame Breath Dog. The task was so challenging and long-term that no one truly expected him to attain it, making Lei Huolong rather carefree. And the advantage of being carefree was that Lei Huolong discovered something new: the Dog King¡¯s special skill easily wooed and recruited wild Hellhound monsters! In the current scenario, with Level 3 Soldiers rarely appearing, the Dog King¡¯s ability to recruit core Level 3 Hellhound units in the wild was terrifying! Hellhound monsters were daunting foes even players feared to touch. Essentially, wild Hellhounds were just waiting to be recruited by Lei Huolong! Therefore, the biggest problem troubling Lei Huolong was the need to increase the Command Power to raise the troop limit. Master Level Leadership Skill, still not enough! +100 Command Value Hundred Demon Captain, still not enough! Tavern trash Vice Heroes focusing only on command, still not enough! Applying to the boss for a massive fund to purchase A-grade treasure Leadership Medal to increase command power, denied! The boss only agreed to assign a small account to take on the Hellhounds Lei Huolong couldn¡¯t fit. In conclusion, getting promoted was Lei Huolong¡¯s only righteous path to enhance Command Power. Thus, he thrived in Shergo Demon Palace¡¯s officialdom, and receiving an Epic Quest from the Demon King was only natural. Lei Huolong believed that, at this stage, even the top God-level Hero from Japan wouldn¡¯t be his match. The boss placed great emphasis on this national war, surely equipping him with key guild treasures, ensuring that he defeated the Japan Region¡¯s God-level hero before the nation, bringing glory to his country! Of course, the idea was good; the key issue was that Hell Race in the China Region lacked formidable support, leaving him alone to struggle with his dogs. While chatting, angry roars echoed from the Demon King Hall, ¡°I disagree! I disagree!!¡± Lei Huolong was startled, what was going on? At this moment, a Demon Envoy approached, ¡°Lord Lei Huolong, the Demon King wants to see you, please follow me.¡± Finally, there was a new development, but my recruitment preparations weren¡¯t complete! Lei Huolong couldn¡¯t help but ask curiously, ¡°Sir, what just happened?¡± The Demon Envoy solemnly replied, ¡°Just a reminder, the Lord Demon King is in a terrible mood right now, be careful. Earlier, that Lord Asmode was defeated by a Super Hero sent by the Elf Clan at the Pool of Radiance front, and the Demon King is furious and punishing him.¡± Lei Huolong¡¯s jaw dropped in shock, ¡°How¡¯s that possible! Even if the hero is at level 30 and super, how could he defeat that guy, that Asmode?¡± The Demon Envoy replied gravely, ¡°That¡¯s why the Demon King is furious!¡± ¡°Could it be that the Super Hero is a ¡®Son of God¡¯? This can¡¯t be a player, right?¡± Lei Huolong realized the grave complexity of the situation, realizing a tactical change was necessary! He needed to report this to the boss. (Note: Heroes, whether players or NPCs, won¡¯t truly die) With a change of scene, Lei Huolong entered a bubbling Lava Lake, where a long crystal bridge extended to a throne at the lake¡¯s center¨Cthis was the Demon Palace. Covered entirely in flames, the Demon King didn¡¯t bother waiting for Lei Huolong to cross the bridge; a flame sword descended from the sky, planted itself before Lei Huolong. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Demon King¡¯s voice echoed through the heavens, ¡°This is a replica of the Divine Artifact, Doomsday Blade, usable only once. You, seize the opportunity to complete this mission; do not bring shame upon me again!¡± ¨CDoomsday Blade (Fake Divine Artifact, Mission Item): Magic Power +10, capable of casting a single God-level Destruction Technique, Doombringer. ¨CDoombringer: Casts a fire attribute indiscriminate attack magic on all battlefield creatures.

Boss Ma Yinglong was chatting happily with Japan Mitsubishi Team¡¯s president, Igarashi Yoshiyuki, via video call. Igarashi chuckled and bowed, ¡°Then I¡¯ll leave it to you, Mr. Ma! Here¡¯s to a successful cooperation.¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled with a sinister smile, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s nothing, but our guild¡¯s influence among the Hell Race is really limited. I¡¯m afraid the president might be disappointed when the time comes.¡± ¡°Mr. Ma is being modest!¡± After ending the call, Ma Yinglong pulled out his translator earpiece with a somber face, leaning back in his chair, staring blankly at the ceiling. The Japanese, though unaware of the battlefield¡¯s location and enemy identity, managed to swiftly coordinate and link up within just a few hours, becoming apparent leaders of the National War Hell Race. His only advantage of confidential information was laughable under the Japanese diplomatic offensive. And other countries¡¯ Hell Race were generally not as strong as Japan¡¯s. At least on the surface, they put on a collaborative front. So, even if Ma Yinglong¡¯s Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s Hell Race was not strong, considering the many casual players in China, Igarashi still personally contacted him to discuss some cooperation matters, hoping the Dragon Slayer Guild could lead some casual players to support Japan¡¯s actions. Support you Japanese? This shorty smiles so sincerely it¡¯s hard for me to flip the table and fight? Hmph! In the face of national righteousness, personal credibility doesn¡¯t matter, turning your back is not an issue, just say overwhelmingly patriotic youths lost control! After all, smashing Japanese cars and shops wasn¡¯t unheard of, the authorities couldn¡¯t handle it, so how could I, a gamer, do any better? Not only can¡¯t I handle it, but I also have to lead the resistance! However, since the other side had already formed an alliance, things were a bit tricky. Regardless of the alliance¡¯s solidity, at least the American Zone and Indian Zone would firmly support Japan, while the European Union Zone, with its many countries, was unpredictable. Perhaps he should negotiate with the Korea District? Hmph, it would be better to talk with Star! Just then, Ma Yinglong¡¯s game helmet notification sounded. Although Ma Yinglong had been away from the front lines for many years, fading out of the competitive scene, his passion for gaming remained undiminished. He frequently logged in to monitor developments and manage the guild. It was an image and text message from Lei Huolong. Ma Yinglong suddenly exclaimed, ¡°Doombringer!¡± Doombringer was a large spell that required Master-level Destruction Skill to learn, with the effect of a giant meteor crashing down from the sky. Master-level damage=200+20xMagic Power, with the battlefield center receiving an additional 20+20xMagic Power damage. God-level damage=300+30xMagic Power, with the battlefield center receiving an additional 30+30xMagic Power damage. Mages capable of learning Master-level Destruction Skill surely had high Magic Power attributes, making the spell damage on the battlefield center nearly double. Since the Hell Race¡¯s advanced troops typically had high fire resistance, this doomsday spell did not significantly affect them, and it seemed almost tailor-made for the Hell Race. This sword came with 10 points of Magic Power, making the spell damage 600, so all tactical positions on the battlefield would suffer 600 points of damage. This damage could wipe out 40 Hellhounds with 15 HP, 46 Horned Demons with 13 HP, and 120 Demon Children with 5 HP. If it was detonated at the battlefield center¡­ Ma Yinglong began excitedly calculating how many international friends he could blast away with this strike. Lei Ren reported further, ¡°Boss, latest news, the Elf Clan¡¯s Super Hero took down a high-level Epic Hero from the Demon King Hall.¡± Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, ¡°So, the Super Hero is quite strong, huh?¡± Lei Ren sighed, ¡°Hard to believe it¡¯s a player¡­¡± Ma Yinglong laughed, ¡°The stronger, the better! Then let¡¯s use the Pool of Radiance as the battlefield, hitting the Multi-National Forces from both flanks, and start the doomsday gala!¡± Lei Ren chuckled, ¡°So, boss, about my equipment?¡± Ma Yinglong scoffed, ¡°All you think about is equipment, equipment, and more equipment. Now it¡¯s about national righteousness!¡± Lei Ren chuckled, ¡°Yes, indeed, but as a national hero, I can¡¯t be outdone by the Japanese in equipment, or else it would disgrace the guild and the country!¡± Ma Yinglong nodded, ¡°Right, I¡¯ll immediately send someone to get you a Fire Resistance set and a large Fire Resistance Scroll!¡± Lei Ren was stunned on the spot. ¡­ The Mitsubishi ABC Software Building, Akihabara, Tokyo, 7th-floor conference room, was filled with thunderous applause! Igarashi reveled in satisfaction, ¡°Now, the Hell Race organizations from various countries are essentially under the leadership of our Japan. In this operation, we must demonstrate absolute leadership prowess, showing those watching or harboring ill-intentions our strength. Let them know that only by submitting to our Japan can they coexist and prosper; otherwise, they¡¯ll face bankruptcy!¡± Applause erupted once again. Igarashi nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Hirata, what are your thoughts?¡± Hirata Hirao sprang up, his expression passionate, ¡°President, if I don¡¯t go back now, someone else will snatch my mission!¡± Igarashi darkened his expression, waving his hand, ¡°Go, young man!¡± Hirata Hirao bowed and ran out of the meeting room like the wind. Igarashi turned his gaze to the Hell Gate Master, user of the game ID Hattori Shoji, Tsukamoto Hideki. ¡°Mr. Tsukamoto, your thoughts?¡± The young man with the airplane hairstyle abruptly stood up, ¡°President, we should deploy secret troops; only then will the world¡¯s Hell Race truly fear and submit. That¡¯s all.¡± Igarashi frowned, ¡°Mr. Tsukamoto, you mean to deploy Mag?¡± ¡°Precisely! The problem with the Hell Race lies with the 2nd-level Horned Demon Governor. This trash troop has dragged down the entire race. Even so, the Hell Race remains powerful. And we have the ranged troops, Mag, to replace this garbage. It¡¯s a qualitative leap for the Hell Race, proof of our Japan Zone¡¯s leadership. That¡¯s all.¡± Igarashi surveyed the assembly, ¡°What¡¯s everyone¡¯s opinion?¡± Everyone shouted, ¡°Raise the might of our Japan Zone!¡± Igarashi nodded, ¡°Very well, but this should not only make the Hell Race submit but also make other races tremble. I will immediately report to the chairman.

Many Flower Demons had fainted on the deck as soon as they landed; having just been liberated from torment and then enduring two battles, they were completely drained. Selvia was directing the soldiers to carry these fainted Flower Demons to the dormitory to rest. Catherine approached and asked, ¡°Captain, what¡¯s our next move?¡± Da Fei pointed to the Flower Demon Instructor beside him with a smile, ¡°That depends on her plan!¡± The Flower Demon Instructor stepped forward and saluted, ¡°Noble hero, thank you for rescuing a portion of our sisters. Now, the Pool of Radiance has been completely overtaken by Demon Worms, and especially our homeland has been invaded by insect nests. The insect nests can draw energy from the World Tree through our homeland. We must destroy all the insect nests and reclaim our home. Only by doing so can we revive the vitality of the World Tree. However, the insect nests are heavily supported by Demon Worms, and we need to rescue more sisters to fight against them.¡± The feeling of foresight was simply too wonderful! Da Fei laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve already destroyed one insect nest. Can you restore your homeland?¡± The Flower Demon Instructor rejoiced, ¡°Yes! As long as our sisters are united, we can definitely restore our homeland! Once the home is restored, the World Tree¡¯s power will provide us with more support. Please, hero, take us home!¡± Da Fei burst out laughing, his work had already paved the way ahead! Da Fei laughed, ¡°Alright, you go back to your room to rest first.¡± ¡°Thank you, hero!¡± Catherine smiled, ¡°So we¡¯ll immediately return to the Banshee Camp we captured?¡± Da Fei shook his head, ¡°Time is pressing! There are still more Flower Demons that I need to rescue. My idea is¨C¡± Da Fei turned his head to look at the Charming Emperor. He had been too busy fleeing before, only knowing that the two Little Babies were qualified, and he hadn¡¯t had time to check their attributes. With such a turn of the head, his jaw dropped! Catherine also couldn¡¯t help exclaiming, ¡°They¡¯ve grown up!¡± Da Fei nodded with a chuckle, ¡°Yes! They¡¯ve grown up indeed!¡± Catherine exclaimed, ¡°They¡¯re almost bigger than me now!¡± Da Fei drooled, ¡°We¡¯ll know if we compare!¡± Catherine pouted, ¡°Captain, you¡¯re so bad!¡± ¡ª Growing Elite Charming Emperor: Small elite Demon Creature, Attack 17, Defense 11, Damage 17-23, Health 137, Attack Speed 11, Command Value 12, special skill: Ranged Shooting, Flying Creature, Scout, War Plunder, Agile Evasion, Charming Technique. Seeing such attributes, Da Fei¡¯s eyes bulged in amazement! The attack, defense, damage, and health indicators all reached the standard of level 6 troops! And they are still growing! What¡¯s with this unscientific 12 Command Value? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he lost 7 Jungle Hunters and upgraded Selvia¡¯s Leadership Skill by one level, freeing up 26 points of Command Power, he nearly couldn¡¯t lead them! Of course, these were not the key points. The key lay in the words ¡°Elite Demon Creature¡±! What do these words mean? Any player¡¯s first reaction would be wild monsters, instance monsters, task monsters! After all, the term ¡°elite¡± is frequently encountered in wilderness instances and tasks. For instance, a player might encounter an elite zombie in the wild, with 100 health points! Why should a mere zombie have so much health? The attributes of elite monsters are beyond reason, not to mention the bosses. As is well known, elite creatures are just one step away from bosses, though this step is as difficult as reaching heaven. In short, so-called troops from level 0 to level 8, especially level 8 troops, no matter how impressive, can be produced in the barracks. But elites and bosses cannot be created. Meaning, these Charming Emperors had already left the category of regular troops! Isn¡¯t that obvious! Otherwise, how did my special soldier training come about? Could it be that I trained them through the special soldier training? At that moment, Catherine coughed and chuckled, ¡°I think Miss Selvia is right. They¡¯re not little anymore; it¡¯s time to dress them.¡± Da Fei was suddenly startled! Dress them? How could that be? He pretended not to hear. Da Fei came back to his senses, ¡°First, let¡¯s return to the Banshee Camp, I need to discuss important matters with Miss Deirdre!¡± ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll start the ship immediately.¡± The Flying ship once again set sail, while outside the barrier on the coast, a commotion was heard. From the gates of the Demon Race Factory, one after another large paddle ship, seemingly made of steel, was slowly pushed out towards the shore. Numerous Demon Infants laid rollers on the ground before the Demon Ships, preparing for the impending battle. Da Fei returned to the Banshee Camp. Deirdre walked up with a smile, ¡°Welcome home, master, triumphant!¡± Da Fei proudly pushed forward two Charm Emperors: ¡°Check out the results of my expedition!¡± Deirdre was suddenly shocked! Hahaha, that¡¯s exactly the expression I wanted! Da Fei laughed heartily: ¡°My dear, tell me all about it!¡± Deirdre said with a wry smile: ¡°True to form, Master, their growth has far exceeded my expectations. In any case, I can now teach them the Banshee Race¡¯s famous special skill Chain Shooting. As for the Transformation Skill, that will depend on how they grow. It still isn¡¯t something that a typical Elite Banshee could learn.¡± She then began to cast spells on the two Charm Emperors, who were enveloped in a white light. A thought struck Da Fei. So, the Transformation Skill can only be learned by a BOSS? Although it¡¯s not a combat skill, there is no doubt that it¡¯s very useful. At the very least, it can allow me to pass through a Teleportation Array as an NPC, saving all the trouble of transporting troops. If it¡¯s already been successful with Elites, can a BOSS be far behind? Right, I should ask Deirdre for her insights on becoming a BOSS. While he was pondering, ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Charm Emperor¡¯s Army has learned a new special skill ¡°Chain Shooting¡± ¡ª-Chain Shooting: Banshees can unleash a long-range Flame Chain that deals damage. After the Flame Chain hits a target, it will bounce and attack the next adjacent target. Damage is halved with each bounce, up to 5 times. Targets hit by the Flame Chain will carry a Burn Vulnerability effect, which can increase the damage from the Hellfire of the Hell Race heroes. They are also extra vulnerable to Cold Ice Magic. Da Fei, with a chuckle, said: ¡°Honey, you¡¯ve worked hard! You¡¯ve worked hard! I want to know, how do you train soldiers into Elites, or even into leaders?¡± Deirdre shook her head and sighed: ¡°I can¡¯t train them into Elites. Elites or leaders can¡¯t just be cultivated on a whim; it requires actual combat, to be precise¨Cas you¡¯ve seen, Master¨Cat least from a young age. As for what comes next, I¡¯m not sure.¡± Is that the official answer? Da Fei then asked: ¡°So how did you grow to become a leader?¡± Deirdre gave a faint smile: ¡°I have to thank a Nun for that. It¡¯s all in the past, so let¡¯s not talk about it.¡± She sighed deeply: ¡°I¡¯ve always thought I was very fortunate, but now compared to them, I realize how many detours I¡¯ve taken. Honestly, I¡¯m quite jealous of their growth. I struggled and risked so much when I was young, and I almost died many times, yet my achievements still can¡¯t catch up to theirs. They are truly fortunate to have met Master. Now I have nothing left to teach them; they need to continue to work hard. And now is the critical period for their growth, they must not slacken.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped, a Nun? Monastery? Damn, Deirdre indeed has depth! This must surely be the plot quest that Bloodrose and the others received, right? Now Deirdre¡¯s been swayed over to my side, but the quest is not¨Cthere¡¯s a feeling like I¡¯ve got her, but not her heart, huh? Da Fei hurriedly consoled her: ¡°Darling, meeting me is your fortune too! I will treat you well!¡± Deirdre cooed with a smile: ¡°Thank you, my Lord!¡± Da Fei took a deep breath: ¡°You¡¯re right, now is indeed the critical period for their growth, and we cannot afford to slack. The matter of the Flower Demon Camp will be handed over to Catherine and the rest. I¡¯ve decided to disembark immediately and continue to Stealth into the Demon Camp to rescue more Flower Demons. The stronger their abilities, the easier my rescue. I hope for them to make even larger breakthroughs!¡± After finishing, Da Fei turned around to leave, and just at that moment, Deirdre grabbed Da Fei from behind! Da Fei was startled: ¡°What¡¯s this about?¡± Deirdre, pressing her bosom against Da Fei¡¯s back, said in a deep voice: ¡°Master, with such great opportunities¨Cplease take me with you!¡± Da Fei was shocked: ¡°You want to go? What for?¡± You¡¯re an Instructor! If you die, that¡¯s a huge loss! Deirdre laughed: ¡°Didn¡¯t Master say he would treat me well? How could I be left out of such a breakthrough opportunity?¡± Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°You want a breakthrough?¡± Deirdre said gravely: ¡°From my youth, I¡¯ve been exposed to death. I constantly improved my abilities in hopes of escaping death, but the more power I had, the greater the threat, and I was still unable to shake off the shadow of death. I¡¯m afraid of dying, and my greatest wish is to attain immortality!¡± Da Fei was invigorated: ¡°You want to become a hero?¡± No wonder she knows so much! She understands more than Kate and Selvia! She really is insightful! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Deirdre cried: ¡°Exactly! Only by becoming a hero can I escape from my fate! Although the distance from leader to hero is immensely far, having met Master, I¡¯ve seen new hope. Master, you must have a way to make me a hero! Perhaps not now, but there must be a way in the future!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You¡¯ve received Deirdre¡¯s task ¡°Hero¡¯s Road.¡± Do you accept? ¡ª-Task Hint: Heroes are the Children of Destiny, divine beings beyond the reach of Mortals. The trials of a hero are arduous and unpredictable. Once the trial is successful, a hero like Deirdre, who has risen from the ranks, will be immensely powerful. Conversely, if the task fails, Deirdre will die. Please choose wisely. Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! Isn¡¯t this situation pretty much snagging the quest from Bloodrose? (Requests for all kinds of tickets) Chapter 99 - Chapter 99 Chapter 96 The World Trees Reinforcements Forest Chapter 99: Chapter 96 The World Tree¡¯s Reinforcements: Forest Goddess Chapter 99: Chapter 96 The World Tree¡¯s Reinforcements: Forest Goddess As a pro gamer, taking on difficult quests is just part of the gig, but when you keep getting ball-busting quests, that¡¯s just not normal. Now, Deirdre¡¯s quest is a real ball-buster for Da Fei. What did Big Bro take on that hundred million debt to upgrade the barracks for, eh? If you think about it, isn¡¯t it all because of you? Although, looking at it now, this deal is definitely a big win and not ball-busting at all. But instead of chilling in your grand palace and living a cushy life, you want to risk your neck playing hero? Is that not asking for trouble for no reason? Da Fei sighed, ¡°You don¡¯t have Stealth, how can I ensure your safety?¡± Deirdre replied in a deep voice, ¡°Heroic Trials aren¡¯t kindergartens. Safety is never the top priority. Besides, am I any safer on the Master¡¯s ship? My fate is tied to the Master¡¯s success or failure. I can use Transformation Skills, I¡¯m familiar with Demons, I can be a huge help to the Master¡¯s rescue mission!¡± Da Fei was startled. Such a strong sense of crisis, huh? That¡¯s true though. Where could this crappy ship of mine possibly be safe? I¡¯m sailing this wreck into two Epic Quests. Anything could happen and it wouldn¡¯t surprise me. As a player, win or lose, it¡¯s all the same to me. But it¡¯s different for an NPC like her with only one life. If I fail, she¡¯s done for! I get where she¡¯s coming from. Doesn¡¯t everyone have only one life? Her plan makes sense too. Although the Charming Emperor got stronger, the enemy¡¯s going full-alert with upgraded defenses. Seems like something like a secret weapon is coming out of the Demon Factory. Whether it¡¯s brute force or infiltration, either way it¡¯s gonna be tough, right? Nothing left to say then, it¡¯s a go! If I pull this off, might as well succeed together with her. If I fail, whether I take on the quest or not, doesn¡¯t make a lick of difference. So let¡¯s do it. ¡ª System Prompt: You have accepted the quest ¡°Hero¡¯s Road¡±! Deirdre chuckled, ¡°Thank you, Master! So, to coordinate with the Master¡¯s action, I¡¯ve decided to infiltrate immediately, and then I¡¯ll be in a position to aid you.¡± Da Fei suddenly remembered something, ¡°I don¡¯t have enough Command Power, I can¡¯t take you on an expedition, can I?¡± Deirdre laughed, ¡°As a leader, why do you need someone to command you to head out on an expedition? Otherwise, what would the other girls think?¡± Right, of course. As a leader, she¡¯s like a Scout with the Independent Expedition attribute. At the end of the day, she¡¯s been spurred on by those rising stars, huh. Da Fei nodded, ¡°Alright, then let¡¯s set off immediately.¡± Deirdre shook her head, ¡°Master, the enemy is on high alert. Any minor movement can lead to indiscriminate bombardment from their Magic Cannons. So, for safety¡¯s sake, please hold off on moving out.¡± Da Fei was taken aback. Looks like I have to wait, huh? Both Little Babies just got back from a big battle and need to rest, plus, fixing the barracks is something the commander should be present for. There¡¯s also the coordination for the rescue to discuss with Catherine. Da Fei had no choice but to nod, ¡°Alright, then you be extra careful.¡± Deirdre smiled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m very familiar with Demons.¡± Da Fei sent Deirdre up to the deck, watching her shoot up to the sky and vanish, he felt an odd sense of loss. Like I¡¯ve forgotten something¡­ Holy crap! Forgot to put clothes on! My darling, your bare self is for my eyes only, how can I let others see? Unacceptable! Unforgivable! Quick, transform into Nanny Rong! With a long sigh and a wry smile, Da Fei shook his head. When all is said and done, it¡¯s because I have a Banshee that I¡¯m so kickass. If it were any other player taking on this quest¨Cscrew ¡°any other¡±! Do any other players have the balls to take down an Epic Hero, let alone one that can teleport? The ripple effects are not something an average player could handle. Speaking of which, it seems I looted an A-grade treasure from the enemy just now. Was too busy running for my life to check it out, but now¡¯s a good chance. ¡ª-Misfortune Hourglass: Grade A Strategic Treasure. Auxiliary equipment slot. As the battle continues, it reduces the enemy¡¯s Luck Value and increases our army¡¯s Luck Value. Once our army¡¯s Luck Value has been increased by 5 points by the treasure, and the enemy¡¯s Luck Value has been reduced by 5 points, the treasure starts to reduce our army¡¯s Luck Value and increases the enemy¡¯s Luck Value. The process repeats in a cycle. Damn! A luck seesaw? This treasure really is a pain in the ass! However, this treasure can create a 10-point difference in Luck, directly countering the enemy¡¯s Master Level Luck Skill, which is quite terrifying! And it only occupies one auxiliary equipment slot too! Truly worthy of being Grade A! In that case, I must absolutely max out my Luck Skill, then equip some items that increase my luck¨Cno, I must equip items that decrease the enemy¡¯s luck, minimizing the benefits the enemy receives from the treasure! Currently, there are Grade B treasures like Curse Necklace which directly reduces the enemy¡¯s Luck by -2, Grade C treasures like Misfortune Cloak which reduces the enemy¡¯s Luck by -1, Misfortune Ring which reduces the enemy¡¯s Luck by -1, and so on! By the time that happens, let the enemy be down on their luck till they puke, while I¡¯ll be over the moon! Wahahaha, what a great treasure! So satisfying! Wait a minute! That¡¯s not right, is it? The slots for rings, cloaks, and necklaces are so valuable and contribute more to the army¡¯s strength. How could I possibly equip such unreliable luck-altering treasures? After all, only Elves and Demons are experts at tinkering with luck. Sigh, still a pain in the neck, but let¡¯s just use it for now as anyway, it reduces the enemy¡¯s luck in the first round, which is an advantage! Before long, the Flying returns to the location of its first victorious battle, the dilapidated Flower Demon barracks. ¡°I have disembarked and feel good, Hero, please rest assured!¡± Flower Demon Instructor eagerly led the group of unrested Flower Demons flying towards the barracks in the tree roots and began to cast spells around the barracks! In a moment, dazzling light flickered like a galaxy; surely this must be the Ancient Tree Coexistence? So that¡¯s how it¡¯s repaired! To be on the safe side, Da Fei once again lined up all the Jungle Hunters on the deck for cover. If we encounter another insect attack this time, I¡¯m going to resist to the end! I refuse to believe that with my Misfortune Hourglass in hand, I can¡¯t blow these worthless bugs away in the first round! As the spellcasting progressed, a soft green light rose from the barracks, with flowers blooming all around. The broken huts mended their cracks and bloomed anew in vibrant green, while a refreshing fragrance of breeze blew down from the Underground Sky! Catherine exclaimed with surprise, ¡°Finally, there¡¯s wind!¡± From a distance, the Flower Demon Instructor replied, ¡°It¡¯s the Ancient Wind from the World Tree, which can purify the filth left by the Demon Worms, and while in the wind, the effects of Healing Skill, Purification Technique, and Thunder Magic are enhanced. The more insect nests the Hero destroys, the faster the World Tree will recover. Soon, the World Tree will send a Forest Goddess to assist the Hero! Each barrack will only dispatch one Forest Goddess.¡± Forest Goddess? While still in shock, a burst of golden light flashed from the barracks! ¡ª-Task Hint: You have successfully repaired a Flower Demon barrack and gained a Forest Goddess. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only A golden Flower Demon holding a green Magic Wand and covered in golden butterfly-like light particles flew out of the barracks! Da Fei was so shocked that his jaw dropped; all the other Flower Demons were green, this golden one was definitely not ordinary! ¡ª-System Prompt: Forest Goddess has joined your forces! Da Fei hurriedly opened the army panel to check her attributes: ¡ª-Forest Goddess: Small Spiritual Creature, Attack 9, Defense 7, Damage 6-9, Health 35, Attack Speed 11, Mana 30, Command Value 0, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Ranged Attack, Advanced Healing Skill, Advanced Purification Skill, Basic Arcane Illusion Army. Da Fei was so amazed his jaw hit the floor! This is a level 4 unit, right? And key point, another flying ranged unit, right? So the reward for conquering the insect nest is here! Does that mean if I clear them all, I get over a hundred of them? More and more troops, the further I go, the easier it gets? I see! I¡¯m not fighting alone. (Please excuse me, everyone, as the past three days have been full of wedding banquets and social commitments. I finally couldn¡¯t hold on last night. Let me catch my breath first.) Chapter 100 - Chapter 100 Chapter 97 A City Might Be Rewarded Chapter 100: Chapter 97: A City Might Be Rewarded Chapter 100: Chapter 97: A City Might Be Rewarded ¡ª-Forest Goddess: Small spirit creature, Attack: 9, Defense: 7, Damage: 6-9, Life: 35, Attack Speed: 11, Mana: 30, Command Value: 0, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Long-range Shooting, Advanced Healing Skill, Advanced Purification Skill, Basic Illusion Army. Looking at the attributes of the Forest Goddess, Da Fei snapped back from the initial shock and suddenly realized that this unit was very unusual. It wasn¡¯t about her abilities but the information she revealed. First, she¡¯s not a unit introduced in official materials, meaning she¡¯s a so-called hidden unit. Of course, there are various hidden units and player-developed units in the game, but since the system has rewarded me with this unit, she¡¯s mine. Usually, I won¡¯t mention the 0-level Flower Demons that can¡¯t be deployed; they¡¯re only useful here in the Pool of Radiance¡¯s mission scenario. But the Forest Goddess is different. She doesn¡¯t have undeployable special skills, meaning she can accompany me anywhere! She can be taken out of this mission scenario, a reward from the epic quest! Most critically, her Command Value requirement is 0!!! Attributes of a Level 4 unit with the Command Value of a 0-level unit!!! What does this mean? It means however many I have, I can take with me! So, how many can I have? If I destroy all the insect nests in the Pool of Radiance, then I can get hundreds, is this the initial reward of this epic quest? What if the war is so brutal and most of them die? ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! Flower Demon Barracks has been repaired, currently with 20 Flower Demon slots. Would you like to recruit them? ¡ª-Beginner Hint: Recruiting 0-level units in the wild requires no Gold Coins. The emergence of this system information made Da Fei even clearer in his thoughts! If I complete this epic quest, what happens to these 0-level units that can¡¯t be taken away? Units given by the system will never be taken back. Then, the answer is clear. The ultimate reward of this epic quest is very likely to reward me a city at the Pool of Radiance! Only then will I have a place for these units after completing the mission! Yes! It must be a city reward! An epic quest! Doesn¡¯t a city, territory, or position reward do justice to the term ¡°epic¡±? So many events happened over the centuries, but how many made it into the epic records? Perhaps all the land in the surface world is occupied by NPC powers and can¡¯t be awarded, but no one¡¯s competing with me underground, right? A city! I¡¯m going to have a city! Thinking of this made Da Fei extremely excited! What should a player do when they have a city? Nothing more than building high walls, stocking up, and becoming a hegemon! And what can this isolated underground city develop? Engaging in production and trade might be infeasible; the only possible use is troop production. The environment here determines the population structure, meaning there won¡¯t be any Elf Clan units, no unicorns or tree spirits. The only residents here are Flower Demons, only Flower Demons can be made here! Ordinary Flower Demons can¡¯t be taken away and are somewhat meaningless. The city¡¯s specialty must be recruiting this Forest Goddess! That¡¯s right, just like heroes have specialties, cities have characteristics too! A city built over a mine has a high yield of minerals, a city built on fertile land yields more crops, and a city built in a barren place often increases troop production and even has hidden units appear! And once a lord player possesses a hidden unit or develops a unique unit, the top priority is to customize their army composition. Soldiers are a country¡¯s major affair. After all, the pros and cons of the conventional units given by the system main city have been thoroughly analyzed by the experts during the public beta. Ordinary players, and non-technical players must break out to achieve victory. Now that I have the Forest Goddess and the Charming Emperor, how should I configure my army? Both these units are casting units, and casting units are strategic units. Strategic units are those that can change the course of a battle with a single skill. Generally, 4th and 5th-level units of each race are strategic units. Strategic units play a pivotal role. It can be said that the strength of a race entirely depends on the quality of their strategic units. The lower the tier of a strategic unit, the stronger the race. For example, the Hell Race¡¯s first three-level units lack long-range, and the second-level units include the Horned Demon Governor trash, but the Hell Race is incredibly strong. Besides the hero¡¯s Professional Skills of the Hell Gate being a super strong strategic skill, the Demon Child as a strategic unit can steal mana, providing stability at the grassroots level. We must say, the strategic unit of a first-level soldier is indeed god-like! On the contrary, the Undead Race¡¯s strategic unit is the 5th-level Necromancer. It comes too late and is the only one, greatly limiting the Undead Race¡¯s divine power. Ultimately, it¡¯s the second-level Zombie dragging behind, so during the public beta, countless Undead players tried to develop the second-level unit. It appears that Makar is also working on this? Similarly, the Undead Race, like the Hell Race, faces weak long-range capabilities! Although the first-level official form of Skeleton Archer is long-range and numerous, the damage and accuracy are simply unbearable. To a certain extent, it also limits newcomers¡¯ development. However, despite the Undead Race¡¯s shortcomings, they have a vast number, and the composition of the Undead army includes three flying units, Ghosts, Vampires, and Ghost Dragons, which have exceptional city attacking abilities, making up for the strategic and long-range unit weaknesses. So what race is considered a superior race without any weaknesses? The Elf Clan and the Mage Academy Clan. Taking the Elf Clan¡¯s unit structure as an example, I won¡¯t mention the 0-level Flower Demon or the strong 1-level jungle melee fighter. Mainly, the 2nd-level and 3rd-level units are strong long-range, making starting very easy. The 4th-level Druid and the 5th-level Unicorn are strategic units with balanced attack and defense. With early-coming long-range and strategic, not to mention even the Druid¡¯s regular attack is long-range! The strong hitmen at the six and seven levels shouldn¡¯t be mentioned. The only flaw is the flying unit, with only the ultimate unit Green Dragon leading to weak city attacking, but this flaw is covered by the powerful 2nd, 3rd, and 4th-level long-range troops. In essence, the Elf Clan¡¯s three-long-range, two-strategic unit structure displays enormous superiority in practice. During the public beta, many lord players developed their unique units using the Elf Clan as a textbook template. As for the Mage Academy¡¯s unit structure, it¡¯s simply dreamy. The 1st-level, 4th-level, and 7th-level units are all long-range, and the 2nd and 5th-level units are flying units. The 4th-level and 5th-level units are also strategic, while the 2nd and 3rd-level units are dual resist physical and magical shields. Especially the 7th-level Titan, beyond imagination! And now, the Forest Goddess and Charming Emperor that Da Fei obtained are both long-range, flying, strategic, and have a humanoid small size that allows them to board ships. How should they be configured? How else to configure them! I¡¯ve gone beyond the limit! The only shortcoming is the survival ability! Now, Da Fei no longer hesitated. He decided that the 13 attribute points he accumulated should supplement his defense. His next skill development direction was to improve the Defense Skill fully. As for the offense, let my crossbow cannons roar! Wahahaha! Now, Da Fei¡¯s level 27 attributes are as follows: Level: 27. Talent Specialty: TBD.

Suddenly, Da Fei noticed something moving at the top of the tree roots, something moving! The radar displayed on the God-level Reconnaissance Technique¡¯s radar mini-map showed a large red dot moving. What is that? Da Fei suddenly realized! (It¡¯s been a while since Da Fei¡¯s attributes have been compiled. This was based on Da Fei¡¯s 25th-level statistics, with additions¨CI wonder if anything was missed? Those detail-oriented readers, please help me check if you find the time.

A new week has begun, requesting all kinds of votes!) Chapter 101 - Chapter 101 Chapter 98 Luring and Killing Hidden Enemies Chapter 101: Chapter 98: Luring and Killing Hidden Enemies Chapter 101: Chapter 98: Luring and Killing Hidden Enemies Looking at the big red dot appearing on the mini-map radar, Da Fei immediately commanded the army to be on alert while pulling out a telescope to look up at the sky. This red dot appearing here now, out of all times, was obviously up to something. In the telescope, a vague and massive figure appeared. Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched in shock; such a large being, was it a boss? Just as he was astonished, the figure vanished, and the red dot on the radar disappeared as well. Da Fei was suddenly startled. How could it disappear? Demon teleportation? Stealth? Regardless of what it was, the key was that this creature was at the top of who-knows-how-high tree roots, the Jungle Hunter¡¯s range was insufficient, and the Crossbow Cannon couldn¡¯t hit the top overhead. Was he supposed to send the airborne Flower Demon Charm Emperor? But the opponent was definitely a BOSS, right? What kind of BOSS hovers overhead? Could it also be airborne? While he was in shock, the massive figure appeared again! At the same time, the red dot on the mini-map reappeared! Da Fei finally saw it clearly; it was a giant spider the size of a house! Then, it vanished after just a fleeting moment! Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped, it was Stealth! Even with his God-level Reconnaissance Skill and telescope, it was still hard to see, indicating the opponent¡¯s skill level was extremely high in stealth! Of course, it could also be the dim light or obstacles underground affecting it. The appearance of a spider here meant? Da Fei hurriedly called over the Flower Demon Instructor, ¡°Let me ask you something, how did the demons capture you?¡± The Flower Demon Instructor sighed, ¡°We didn¡¯t know what we hit while patrolling in the air, then we were powerless and lost consciousness. When we woke up, we were already captured.¡± Oh my gosh! This spider is good at charming unsuspecting youths, huh? I thought the Flower Demons were captured by demons as part of the plot, but it seems there¡¯s some basis. This purification mission is indeed not that simple. Besides countless bugs, there¡¯s also this spider, a significant threat. Fortunately, with God-level Reconnaissance, I found it first. Otherwise, I¡¯d have been ambushed when I least expected it. The question is how to eliminate it? Fly into the sky? There certainly must be webs up there, right? If one touch means being captured, that¡¯s a huge loss! Flying up is not an option, not to mention the Flower Demons are weak, and there¡¯s no way for me to support them from the sky. If the opponent is plotting against me, I can only lure it down. Da Fei immediately lifted the alert, letting the Jungle Hunters on deck rest and the Flower Demons continue playing at the barracks. After waiting for a while, the red dot remained faintly visible but didn¡¯t come down. Was it still apprehensive? Da Fei sent all Jungle Hunters from the deck into the cabin to rest while moving the Flower Demons into the barracks to sleep and recover mana. Such an undefended stance should work, right? Da Fei waited again for a while, but nothing happened! Damn it! My time is precious! I still have to infiltrate enemy lines to save people; how can I waste time with you? Does it have to wait for me to sail away before it takes action? Very likely, ambush-type creatures are usually very patient and wary, not acting easily. This is frustrating! Does it mean once it attacks the barracks, I sail back to offer support? Damn it, this isn¡¯t a flying ship, once it appears, it¡¯ll escape without leaving a trace! The Crossbow Cannon is definitely unreliable! Da Fei fell into deep thought, time ticked by, and Da Fei¡¯s frustration built up. Actually, there is a way, and that¡¯s to see whose Phantom March or Stealth is stronger? But I don¡¯t know how strong the opponent is. It won¡¯t take me down instantly, right? Didn¡¯t they say strong creatures can¡¯t enter this barrier? I believe I can hold my ground, right? In conclusion, there¡¯s no other way, only hand-to-hand combat! Da Fei called Catherine and Selvia to discuss tactical details. Catherine expressed no problem, but Selvia looked uneasy and said, ¡°Do I have to go underwater?¡± Hey, hey, as the daughter of a sailor, whose dream is to sail with her father, it¡¯s not possible you can¡¯t swim, right? At the very least, you¡¯re a hero! Are there heroes who can¡¯t swim? Da Fei solemnly patted her small shoulder, ¡°Yes, right now, you¡¯re the captain¡¯s solid support. I need you.¡± Selvia¡¯s face blushed, ¡°But if I go underwater, I might get pregnant¡­¡± ¨CApu!!! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of blood! Is this the bizarre worldview of a nun? This is the Pool of Radiance, not an insemination pool filled with tadpoles! What are you thinking? Catherine laughed so hard, her laughter sparkling. Damn it, what¡¯s so funny! To a nun, this is a very serious issue! No laughing, or I¡¯ll make you demonstrate how to get pregnant with me as an example! Da Fei patted her small shoulder again, ¡°It¡¯s okay; you won¡¯t get pregnant. If you do, it¡¯ll be on me!¡± Selvia nodded, ¡°Alright!¡± Da Fei said satisfied, ¡°That¡¯s better. Alright, we set off.¡± ¡°Okay! Alright! Let¡¯s go!¡± Catherine laughed as she wobbled into the pilot cabin. The Flying¡¯s magic sail raised, catching the weak wind of the Ancient Wind, sailing far away from the Flower Demon barracks, while Da Fei and Selvia quietly dove into the water midway. Da Fei activated Phantom March, and the two quietly swam back to the barracks, hiding underwater at the roots of the barrack¡¯s trees. The two Charm Emperors stealthily hovered in the air as well. Yes, it¡¯s a contest to see who can hide better. Once that spider thinks it¡¯s safe to strike, I¡¯ll suddenly jump out and challenge it one-on-one! Selvia¡¯s specialty was Sea Hymn, which enhanced the effect of Light Magic when used at sea as her level increased. Since she was level 22, it amplified by 22%, plus the effect of the Ancient Wind, though unknown, provided additional benefits. Her magic only aided me, greatly reducing mana consumption. Not aiming to win, just resisting and stalling until Catherine¡¯s giant cannon returns to finish it¨Cthen the battle is won. For stalling purposes, the Misfortune Hourglass was a big no-no; players suffering halved damage under Misfortune was better than a monster scoring critical hits under good fortune. Now, Da Fei fixed his gaze on the red dot on the map, anticipating it nervously to take the bait. Finally, the opponent lived up to expectations and moved! The red dot began moving slowly and steadily toward the barracks. Ha ha ha! You think you can play with me at God-level Reconnaissance, kid, you¡¯re still too inexperienced! Now comes the critical moment, if I can¡¯t hold out, everything is in vain. Closer now, a gigantic spider descended like an elevator with a thick silk thread trailing from its rear. Seeing its massive and peculiar body, Da Fei¡¯s heart couldn¡¯t help but shudder, could it just squish me directly? It settled quietly on the barracks and began to spin webs¨Coh no, not happening, attack! With a splash, Da Fei burst out from the water, spear in hand, as a gold light fell from the sky above him! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia casts Master-level Light Magic ¡°Power of Tenacity¡± on you, increasing your Defense by 19 points. Ha ha ha, now my Defense is 44 + 19 points, come try and take me down! The spider glared with a row of red eyes, waving its huge claws at Da Fei, and at that moment Da Fei noticed a dark halo beneath it! Da Fei was stunned! Damn it! This beast turned out to be a hero! So, there¡¯s non-human heroes in the game? What kind of hidden race with hidden heroes is this? Only in that moment, Da Fei realized how deep the waters of this Epic Quest really were. No room for more thoughts, if it¡¯s a hero, it means its skills are limited to level 30, especially having invested so much in Reconnaissance Skill, its combat skills are more limited¨CI¡¯ve got nothing to fear! The battle began! Da Fei thrust his spear first, as if stabbing into an iron plate, ¡°-3!¡± ¡°Poison immune!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyes narrowed in shock! Only a quarter of the normal damage, its Defense is around 100? Is it full-level Defense Skill? My Anemone poison is ineffective against it! Then, the huge claw swiped down, blood flashing, Da Fei¡¯s body swayed, and a -51 popped up above his head! A +3 popped up above its head! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CApu! Da Fei spat out old blood! I only have a little over 100 HP, and it took out half of it in one hit! How much damage does it cause? Full-level Attack Skill? Is it capable of life-stealing? How many skills does it have? Including its intrinsic racial Professional Skill as a bizarre race, it¡¯s got 4, right? ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia uses Master-level Light Magic¡¯s Healing Skill on you, recovering +51 life! Ha! Ha ha ha! I don¡¯t care how much damage or skills you have! Try finishing me off! I¡¯m at full health again! I¡¯m an expert because I always prepare for the worst while hoping for the best! Come on, let¡¯s battle to the end! (Seeking all kinds of votes!) Chapter 102 - Chapter 102 Chapter 99 Killing the Spider Demon Hero Chapter 102: Chapter 99: Killing the Spider Demon Hero Chapter 102: Chapter 99: Killing the Spider Demon Hero The mutual full-health hack-and-slash battle went on for several rounds. Da Fei was not going to deploy the Flower Demons from the barracks or the Charming Emperor in the sky to help. Against the opponent¡¯s iron-solid defense and bloodsucking skill, low-damage troops posed no threat and might scare it into running away. If it escaped now, Da Fei wouldn¡¯t be able to stop it. That would mean his hard efforts went to waste. The key was, this was a hero, not an ordinary monster boss, whose tactical level was better than the player¡¯s, at least in terms of operation. There was no telling about intelligence. If it was intelligent and Da Fei failed this time, he might never get another chance to lure and kill it. This threat could affect the entire success or failure of the epic quest. Therefore, this time Da Fei had to succeed in luring and killing it, no room for failure! The spider used its massive size to steadily press forward, seemingly trying to push Da Fei back into the water. Bah! I never won against the computer at chess, don¡¯t think I can¡¯t see what you¡¯re doing! You want to target the healer! Da Fei immediately commanded Selvia in the water to stay away from the shore. As Selvia moved away, the spider flashed all over with a red light, its massive claws suddenly accelerating ¡ª Da Fei was astonished! It turned out to be the signature professional skill Fury of the Beastmen! It was taking advantage of the healing lapse to attack! Damn, a brilliant two-bird strategy! If the healer doesn¡¯t move, you target the healer. If it does, you kill me in seconds! However, I have another healer! The Forest Goddess, hidden in the sky, took action! Although her advanced healing technique lacked the support of magic power, it was enough to sustain me for a while. ¡°-52¡± ¡°+30¡± ¡°-62¡± ¡°+30¡± ¡°-71¡± ¡°+30¡± Each strike faster than the last, each blow more vicious, seeing things getting dire, ¡ª System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia cast the Master-level Light Magic Healing Skill on you, you recovered 109 health points! (Note: Basic Healing Skill restores health = 10+5xMagic Power, Intermediate = 20+5xMagic Power, Advanced = 30+5xMagic Power, Expert = 40+5xMagic Power, Master = 50+5xMagic Power) Haha! Hahaha! Did you really think I¡¯d take a risk without my tricks? ¡ª System Prompt: Your Intelligence Analysis Skill discovered the opponent¡¯s weakness, your current attacks will ignore 25% ¨C 50% of the opponent¡¯s defense. Da Fei laughed heartily! This wasn¡¯t me finding your weakness, you exposed your weakness yourself! Fury naturally lowered defense and reduced stamina as a side effect, then got exploited by my god-level skill, developing a new weakness. This was a double weakness! That¡¯s right, a fly won¡¯t bother an egg without a crack. Normally, the Intelligence Analysis Skill doesn¡¯t directly kick in, but once the opponent has a negative status, this skill will hit them where it hurts. Da Fei thrust his spear, ¡°-22!¡± It was a hit twice the normal damage! This was the result of a 20-point attack, meaning its defense was reduced to zero! Hahaha, what else have you got? Clearly, the Spider Hero also realized it was out of tricks. Its big butt hiked up, and with seven hands and eight legs, it turned around while grabbing the thick silk on its butt, starting to ascend the elevator, trying to flee! Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched in shock! Even if I have to sacrifice all the Flower Demons, I can¡¯t let you escape! Da Fei waved his hand; ¡°All troops attack!¡± Over a hundred Flower Demons swarmed out from the barracks, and a dark cloud of them appeared above its head. A swarm of Flower Demons surrounded it in three layers, pollen flying everywhere! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Flower Demon Army¡¯s Swarm Magic Skill had no effect on the hero! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Flower Demon Army¡¯s Flower Pollen Strike Skill had no effect on the hero! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Charming Emperor¡¯s Army¡¯s Seduction Technique had no effect on the hero! Crap! High attack, defense, and bloodsucking might be tolerable, poison immunity might be tolerable, spirit immunity might be tolerable, but immune to the Flower Demons¡¯ lifeline, the swarm and pollen ¡ª it was acting like it had me figured out! How could I let such a formidable enemy slip away! Without hesitation, Da Fei leapt forward and hugged one of its hind legs, ¡°You want to leave, not so easy!¡± But the Spider Hero was determined to go. Even with Da Fei as a hindrance, and surrounded by Flower Demons, its silk elevator still slowly ascended! Damn! Da Fei looked around frantically, the Flying was rushing back at full magic sail, but no matter how fast it rushed, it wouldn¡¯t make it in time! Maybe it was escaping because it had a panoramic view and saw the Flying returning? So cunning, so cautious! What to do, what to do! Selvia didn¡¯t catch up! If it drags me to some lair in the sky to fight, without healing, no amount of troops could beat it! In the Demon King¡¯s presence, with scant forces, I defeated a powerful force and even a high-level epic hero! As a glorious god-level master, leading so many troops now, I can¡¯t even handle a mere level 30 lone spider! How could I endure this! Is my epic quest¡¯s bright future going to be ruined by this spider? Am I not a master? I¡¯m not convinced! Elevator prohibition number one: no jumping! I, however, must jump! Da Fei bounced fiercely holding its thick leg, but it was useless! Uh? Wait a minute! What¡¯s the point in me jumping alone? Let¡¯s all do it together! Da Fei promptly called out to the Flower Demons, ¡°Stop attacking, let¡¯s all play your favorite game of swinging! Come on, let¡¯s push forward together!¡± Aren¡¯t the Flower Demons fond of chasing each other and swinging on vines in the air? You¡¯re fairytale fairies, you understand what I mean? At least, your program should understand the word ¡°swing,¡± right? Sure enough, the Flower Demon Instructor, intelligent as it was, was the first to understand, calling out to the Flower Demons, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s swing together!¡± In that instant, the battlefield¡¯s murderous aura vanished, and the Flower Demons giggled and pushed the spider¡¯s huge body off its vertical angle. The spider¡¯s climbing speed suddenly slowed! It worked! Da Fei laughed long and loud and bounced vigorously a few more times, ¡°Swing! Swing hard!¡± The Flower Demons worked even harder. The spider swung back and forth like a pendulum, swinging more fiercely and lower, the silk stretching longer and longer, and it seemed it couldn¡¯t climb anymore! Why don¡¯t you jump into the pool water, ha ha, wa ha ha ha! ¡ª Combat Information Prompt: The target has entered the range of your Phantom Crossbow Cannon! Great! You¡¯re impressive enough for me to send you off with the Phantom Crossbow Cannon! Da Fei promptly dismissed the swing-pushing Flower Demons and excitedly shouted, ¡°Fire at me!!!¡± From afar, two crossbow arrows shining with white light arced beautifully up, howling. The Phantom Crossbow Cannon arrows indeed curved! Closer! Da Fei felt the freezing frost approaching, with a wind pressure so overwhelming it stifled his breath. Being hit by a crossbow cannon felt like this! Bang! Bang! Icy blasts and blood splattered! The giant spider¡¯s massive body exploded in mid-air, and Da Fei, clutching its thick hind limb segment, fell into the sea. ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations!

Da Fei, who was eagerly watching the system prompts, was suddenly moved as he saw the two words ¡°kill¡± highlighted in red by the system. Aren¡¯t heroes immortal? Don¡¯t they just respawn at the tavern or altar when they die? I actually killed a hero? Aging Nokes? Could it be that this hero was set by the quest to be at the end of life? Damn, to explode with the legendary Hero Inheritance Scroll, for sure it was dead, this was like beating up the nursing home of South Mountain! (Requesting all kinds of votes!) Chapter 103 - Chapter 103 Chapter 100 Peddling the Legacy of Heroes Chapter 103: Chapter 100: Peddling the Legacy of Heroes Chapter 103: Chapter 100: Peddling the Legacy of Heroes ¡°The hero was indeed an immortal presence; as long as they died in battle, they would reappear in the city¡¯s tavern or at the Hero Altar. But being a hero didn¡¯t mean they wouldn¡¯t die; heroes also had lifespans. Players naturally had no concept of lifespan, but some game-background special NPC heroes, like the Elf Hero Grandma Anwen accompanying the ship, were set to be elderly heroes. This setting usually appeared only during missions, and their level might also decrease due to aging. So, this was probably the reason why Anwen and the elderly Nokes could appear in the barrier. And elderly heroes would usually record their life¡¯s insights on a scroll, the so-called heroic legacy. Now, Da Fei, without a shred of guilt, eagerly examined the acquired spoils of war. After all, it was really hard for Da Fei to associate such a gigantic spider with the word ¡®elderly.¡¯ ¨CNokes¡¯ Heroic Legacy: Bloodthirst. The hero and the hero¡¯s melee units would gain the ability to absorb life, restoring 8% of the damage dealt¨C Whoa! Life-stealing ability! And it affected the whole army! Didn¡¯t this mean the whole army turned into knock-off vampires? Da Fei¡¯s eyes nearly popped out in shock! As he was overwhelmed with joy, the next part read: ¨CUsage Requirement: The hero and the hero¡¯s units must have mixed Demon Race bloodlines, such as the Beastman Race, Spider Demon Clan, Sub-dragon Race. Oh, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over him, extinguishing Da Fei¡¯s overflowing joy. What the heck, Spider Demon Clan, Sub-dragon Race, I¡¯ve never even heard of them before! Well, I¡¯ve heard of the Sub-dragon Race; they¡¯re the sixth-level soldiers of the Beastman troops, the Two-legged Flying Dragons, known for their self-healing. So this scroll was meant specifically for Beastman Players! Damn, that¡¯s a bummer! No, no, no, it¡¯s not a bummer at all; this is actually great! I can sell it! As a professional player, what kind of professional player hasn¡¯t made a single transaction? The money I earn in my pocket is the real deal. If I had found something I could use, I¡¯d be torn between selling it or keeping it for myself, which would be the real bummer. Now it¡¯s time to ponder the value of this scroll. Ugh, ponder my ass; I¡¯ll go online, show the image, and let those experts bid on it, ha-ha-ha! Da Fei couldn¡¯t wait to log onto the forums to stir things up. Let¡¯s introduce the Beastmen first. In the game, the Beastmen were a very unique and, of course, a famous race. They were the hybrid descendants left behind when demons invaded the land ten thousand years ago, residing on the vast plains of the continent¡¯s east. Their mixed blood gave them a strength even more unique than pure demons, which even pure demons dared not underestimate. The specialty of the Beastmen was their inability to learn Light, Dark, Destruction, or Arcane Magic. Their spellcraft was uniquely Shamanism, specializing in lightning and storm, and the spirits of elements. Then there were the frustrating anti-Light, anti-Dark, and anti-destruction skills, minimizing the effects of these three types of magic on enemy troops; the Shaman¡¯s magic power only increased the counter-magic effects. The professional skill of beastman heroes was Blood Rage, which continuously and significantly increased the physical damage resistance of the beastman troops as battles progressed. The most famous two sub-skills under Blood Rage were Frenzy and War Cry; their effects were known only to those who used them. In short, the beastman¡¯s army in the later stages was an extremely tough dual-resistant force. When battling the beastman¡¯s troops, no small tricks or strategies would work; it required big moves, army against army, mighty generals against mighty generals. So for players not skilled in magic or troop configuration, a brainless beastman loaded with passive skills was undoubtedly the best pick. Beastman level 0 soldiers were goblins, level 1 soldiers were Goblin Warriors, level 2 soldiers were Centaurs, level 3 soldiers were Wolf Knights, level 4 soldiers were Shamans, level 5 soldiers were Frenzied Beastmen, level 6 soldiers were Two-legged Flying Dragons, and level 7 soldiers were One-eyed Giants. In the situation where the Dark Camp¡¯s level 2 soldiers were generally garbage dragging down progress, the highly characteristic level 2 centaurs of the beastmen formed the core of the beastman¡¯s mobile strike force. This unit¡¯s special skill was ¡°Mobile Shooting,¡± a skill unique across the entire Hero Continent, to which even the sharpshooting elves had to bow down, for ranged troops must stop and shoot from a stationary position. Moreover, this unit had decent melee capabilities even up close. More appallingly, ordinary players could choose the centaur¡¯s unit specialty when creating their character! After all, since it was a level 2 unit specialty, there was no need to draw a lottery! Imagine what this meant. In the hands of high-end players, centaurs could easily harass and eliminate high-level melee wild beasts, making Beastman Players¡¯ leveling speed second only to elves. Of course, the centaur¡¯s drawbacks were equally appalling! It was a large-sized creature! And it was a large-sized creature with only 15 health points! While 15 health points was considered mid-to-high level for a level 2 soldier, players could hardly imagine such a large centaur having only 15 health points; where did its muscle go? The answer was, it had two hearts, one in the human body and one in the horse body. The two hearts endowed centaurs with outstanding athletic ability but also meant that critical weaknesses increased by half. At the same time, as a large-sized creature, the centaur couldn¡¯t move freely once it left the plains! Even the one-point skeleton archers of the undead first-level soldiers, who had pitifully miss/hit rates, could completely overpower centaurs in duels, not worrying about missing. The skeleton¡¯s special skill was Hollow Skeleton, reducing long-range damage by 50%, making the strongest archer centaur truthfully no match for the weakest archer skeleton in duel scenarios. In contrast with the equally glaring merits and demerits of the centaur, the beastman¡¯s level 3 soldier, the Wolf Knight, was dazzlingly bright. The so-called Wolf Knight was a goblin riding on a wolf, a troop with speed only second to the Hellhound among the first three levels of regular troops, also being useful in forests and mountain battlefields. The astonishing part was that, as ¡°cavalry,¡± while humans struggled over the number of warhorses, armor production, and the most pivotal aspect of knight-horse rapport, the beastman¡¯s wolf knights achieved wave after wave of mass production¨Ctoo many wolf packs roamed the plains to count, and the Beastman¡¯s Wolf Tamers could barely keep up with the demand. The difference in familiarity between humans and horses compared to beastmen and wolves spanned countless streets. In short, the combination of the high attack, speed, high production, ranged-melee integration of the centaur and Wolf Knight established the beastman¡¯s dominance of the plains. Once the Blood Rage maxed out, a Frenzy unleashed would mow people down like grass, wind sweeping down the countless fallen. Thus, Beastman Players confidently claimed the notion of level 2 and 3 soldiers conquering the world. As for the later high-level troops? Beastman Players honestly weren¡¯t fond of them, finding them too slow and dragging, usually leaving them in the city to enjoy the treatment of Elf Clan Tree Spirits. Whether it was for mobile harassment or fight-to-the-death decisive battles, the beastman had enormous burst power. The higher the burst power, the better the bloodthirst effect naturally worked, making this heroic legacy an undisputed divine skill for beastmen! In essence, any Beastman Player obtaining this scroll would give rise to a god-level hero! What was the use of an Undead Race boasting a single vampire? A Beastman Player had an army of vampires! Though their life-stealing wasn¡¯t as outrageously effective as a legitimate vampire¡¯s. Now, Da Fei left an anonymous post with his disguised identity on the hero forum website: ¡°Heroic Legacy, leave a quote if interested, don¡¯t know what a heroic legacy is? Let me enlighten you. Post titles should be long!¡± Indeed, while Da Fei usually carried himself high-profile in the game, when it came to real-life transactions, he was quite low-key, so anonymity was necessary. This wasn¡¯t something to take lightly; people who won lottery prizes hid their faces, yet Da Fei dealt with trades potentially worth hundreds of millions or even billions, in US Dollars, mind you. Consequently, he had to be cautious. Otherwise, if a few fearless internet cafe teenagers lost money online, stalked him, and stabbed him from behind, and his multimillion-dollar wealth was lost all because of that, what a wrongful demise it would be! Da Fei could imagine the sensation his post would cause, in China, in the world. Da Fei switched back to the game, where a large group of Flower Demons surrounded him, singing. Apparently, this was the so-called race reputation ¡®fondness.¡¯ Generally, city reputation, camp reputation, and world reputation were quite common, but this race reputation was rather rare, at least not extensively covered in official materials. Given that it was obtained from an epic quest, it was surely quite formidable. Well, if Da Fei established a city here later, with the residents all Flower Demons, high race reputation might develop new units? Da Fei began examining the other two pieces of equipment. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSpider Demon Armor: B-grade strategic treasure, Armor Equipment Position. +10 to all troop Defense, +3 to all troop Life. ¨CCliff Walker Backpack: C-grade strategic treasure, Support Equipment Position. Houses a net bag filled with tough spider silk; players could shoot out spider silk from the net bag to climb steep terrain. Da Fei laughed heartily! Good armor! Good armor indeed! I was just worried about insufficient troop defense, just worried about the low health of Flower Demons! Next step, I¡¯ll learn the special skill Unlimited Vitality under Defense, and the whole army gets +2 more life! Adding 2 life points to a Flower Demon with all my one hundred win-streak achievements, equipment, and skill support brings it up to 9 points! Quadrupling life! What¡¯s there to fear from beetles! As for this backpack, hmm, not bad, not bad! Ha-ha, wah-ha-ha! (Vote for various kinds of tickets!)¡± Chapter 104 - Chapter 104 Chapter 101 The Scroll That Shakes the Guild Chapter 104: Chapter 101: The Scroll That Shakes the Guild Titans Chapter 104: Chapter 101: The Scroll That Shakes the Guild Titans China had three massive offline gaming guilds: Star, Dragon Slayer, and Ninth Heaven. Each of these guilds had its website and corporate presence, with hundreds of thousands of registered player members covering all the popular games on the market. Players who played well and brought revenue to the guilds received certain subsidies, which, while not substantial, made earning some extra cash while gaming a joyful thing. Ordinary players registered their in-game names on the guilds¡¯ websites, and once approved, they became regular members. Membership allowed them to join a chat group or forum, where the group leader or moderator acted as the team leader. How did members bring in revenue for the guilds? It¡¯s simple. When there was a large in-game event, the group leader would announce it in the chat group. On the day of the event, members would check in by showing up, and at the leader¡¯s command in the game, they¡¯d charge! Members might not know exactly what they were doing, but as long as they followed orders, they earned points. Points could be used to upgrade membership levels, and they were universal across any game the guild was present in. So if a member decided to switch games, they could still earn points and upgrade their membership level. The pinnacle of membership was, of course, the legendary high-income professional player, a dream for many internet cafe youth. And at the top of the professional player hierarchy was the guild leader of a large guild! To internet cafe youths, this was akin to being royalty in online gaming, commanding thousands to engage in city and national battles at their bidding! This offline operating and management model of player guilds forced any game to adapt; every game had to have straightforward player check-in features, and functions to tally player merit. Games lacking these would not attract guilds, and the market would eliminate them. The management model of China¡¯s massive guilds has spread worldwide. Even a world-class online game like ¡°Heroic Creation Era¡± submitted to these massive guilds. Such was their power! But now, the leaders of China¡¯s three massive guilds were astounded by a post from an anonymous user on the forums! Indeed, it was a post by Da Fei. Within minutes of being posted, it stirred up waves, skyrocketing to immense popularity! While many players didn¡¯t initially know what the Heroic Inheritance was, they certainly knew now! All players understood what this inheritance implied: an ordinary Beastman hero suddenly ascending to become a God-level Hero, a God-level Beastman hero becoming a God above God! Many posters hailed the arrival of the Beastman era! Why was this? Because globally, Beastmen weren¡¯t popular, lacking major guild backing. It wasn¡¯t that Beastmen weren¡¯t strong; they were. However, Beastmen¡¯s scope was limited. Beastman heroes could only fully utilize the racial skill Blood Rage and anti-Magic abilities with Beastman troops. Unlike the Human Race¡¯s Knight Priest heroes, capable of leading troops from any race. In critical national wars where every soldier mattered, Knights could gather a mixed army, achieving unexpected effects. But Beastman heroes couldn¡¯t, acting merely as attack and defense buffers. To the leaders of the three massive guilds, this wasn¡¯t merely about nurturing a God-level hero, but potentially the future of their guilds and the China Region¡¯s landscape. Star Guild focused on the Elf Clan, although they had an internationally renowned Human Race Griffin Breeder hero, Little Pig Run. This dual approach meant the guild¡¯s main force developed the Elf Clan, addressing their troop shortage, while Little Pig Run carved out space within the Human Race. Ninth Heaven focused on the Human Race, characterized by its balance, with no standout strengths or fatal weaknesses. The stable nature of the Human Race made them the only ones standing to the end during decisive battles. As the most user-friendly race, Humans boasted the most players, providing Ninth Heaven with abundant human resources. Dragon Slayer focused on the Undead Race, renowned for its bone-chilling presence of Corpse Mountain and Bone Sea, capable of crashing entire servers. Unlike other races troubled by ineffectively managing newly acquired territory troops, the Undead simply threw them into mass graves to convert them into Undead. Discussing the landscape of these three guilds had initially frightened Ma Yinglong. If the two Bright Alliance guilds united, Dragon Slayer Guild would have a tough time. At a minimum, players would lose confidence in the Dark Alliance, flocking to the Bright Alliance, leading to a vicious cycle where Dragon Slayer Guild would progressively decline. Ma Yinglong¡¯s first move was dispatching the most skilled writing team to sow discord between the two guilds through posts. Additionally, he sought outside assistance and established cooperation with the Japanese. As Ma Yinglong expected, Star Guild and Ninth Heaven indeed undercut each other, somewhat relieving his anxiety. However, creating discord and reaching out for external help were not long-term solutions; true strength was the ultimate truth. Facing this sudden rise of the Beastman Inheritance, both Star and Ninth Heaven saw it as a formidable foe. But Ma Yinglong of Dragon Slayer Guild found his breath taken away, staring at the image for minutes! This was precisely the powerful opportunity he¡¯d been yearning for! With Star and Ninth Heaven being part of the Bright Alliance, Dragon Slayer Guild naturally took the lead in raising the Dark Alliance¡¯s banner in the China Region. The Beastman Race was undoubtedly Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s ¡°territory.¡± As long as they obtained this Beastman Inheritance and nurtured a God-level Beastman hero of global influence, Dragon Slayer Guild would truly unify the Dark Alliance! They could effectively organize the vast numbers of independent Beastman players within Dragon Slayer Guild. Internally, they could suppress Star and Ninth Heaven, who seemed united but were mutually restrictive; externally, they could represent the China Region¡¯s image. Ma Yinglong made up his mind, ¡°Find a way to contact this seller and buy the scroll!¡± Chang Liang, his assistant, was surprised, ¡°But Star and Ninth Heaven will definitely interfere and inflate the price, right?¡± Ma Yinglong shook his head, ¡°Then we¡¯ll just follow along. As long as we win, we¡¯ll be the overlord of the China Region! Those two guilds dragging each other down can¡¯t compare to us. Only a unified guild can represent the China Region and gain international recognition; the benefits from this far outweigh such a small price.¡± Chang Liang was bewildered, ¡°But this¡­¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled, ¡°No worries. If they do inflate the price too much, we¡¯ll just give up and disgust them. After all, the Bright Alliance having this account is useless; it¡¯s a waste of money and only divides their focus and funds to develop the Beastman forces. Then we¡¯ll make sure they can¡¯t hold their head high, yes, that¡¯s our strategy. We can openly declare that whoever buys this scroll, we¡¯ll make their account fail to develop so they realize the threat.¡± Chang Liang gave a bitter smile, ¡°Once they buy the scroll, they¡¯ll certainly develop it secretly; how will we know which account they are using to advance it?¡± Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, ¡°Gold always shines, let alone gold that sucks blood? Even if they secretly grind levels without appearing, there will be a day when they emerge, thinking they¡¯ve gained such strength that we can¡¯t touch them anymore? Great! We¡¯ll drown the skilled, and fight the stubborn. We¡¯ll target their laboriously and secretly developed forces. When our Dark Alliance players have internal conflicts, their Bright Alliance will be powerless outside their borders! I¡¯ll ensure the higher they climb, the harder they fall!¡± Chang Liang suddenly realized, ¡°This is called raising fat to slaughter!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, ¡°Envy what Dragon Slayer Guild set its sights on, and no one else should think of taking it!¡± Chang Liang smiled, ¡°Boss, so domineering! Even if we can¡¯t have it, neither should anyone else have a good time!¡± ¡­ Meanwhile, Star Guild¡¯s leader, Eternal Star, was chatting with Ninth Heaven¡¯s leader, Divine Emperor. ¡°Boss Long, do you think Brother Ma¡¯s eyes are popping out at the sight of this scroll?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°I¡¯m anxious too. If he gets the scroll, it¡¯ll truly be the rise of the Beastmen, and you and I won¡¯t have it easy.¡± ¡°Boss Long, what should we do? Frankly, I don¡¯t plan to buy this foolish item.¡± ¡°Nonsense! Contact Hero News journalists! Hype it up! Claim the scroll is worth tens of millions! I mean in US dollars! Make the seller hesitate to sell!¡± ¡°It seems like that¡¯s the only way. Hopefully, the seller is a fool who truly believes it¡¯s worth millions and lets it sit until it¡¯s too late!¡± (Asking for all kinds of votes! Regarding the readers mentioning attribute setting taking up content space and such, I understand. But writing about online games can be frustrating: if you include details, readers might dislike it, but if omitted, it doesn¡¯t feel like a game. In short, while these chapters are still free to the public, I¡¯ll try to lay out all the settings.) Chapter 105 - Chapter 105 Chapter 102 Sky-High Prices Soaring Chapter 105: Chapter 102: Sky-High Prices Soaring Chapter 105: Chapter 102: Sky-High Prices Soaring The Pool of Radiance, under the gentle propulsion of the Ancient Wind, the Flying set sail with its magic sail half-open to conserve energy. Now was the time to continue rescuing more Flower Demons. The Flower Demons sang and danced, playfully flitting around the Flying, some naughtily nudging the sails, trying to contribute their slight efforts to the voyage. In an instant, the entire ship was wrapped in the light trails left by the Flower Demons, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Watching these laughing and cheerful little Elves, Da Fei found himself in a quandary. Could you not be so cute? With you being like this, how could I even bear to send you off to the battlefield to die? Sigh, perhaps this is the benefit of high race reputation. In any case, letting the ship set sail first, Da Fei eagerly rushed to the forum to check the replies. How many kids would be scared, and how many bosses would be amazed? It was something to look forward to, haha! When Da Fei logged into the forum, he couldn¡¯t help but take a deep breath! 300,000 clicks, 40,000 replies! Da Fei was shocked and amazed! It had only been a few minutes since the post! My posts always sank in seconds, and the only replies were to save face! Never thought, never thought I¡¯d see this day! Da Fei¡¯s tears of excitement streamed down his face. With so many replies, how could I have time to read them all? But no worries, Da Fei immediately noticed several new attention-grabbing topics with large red bold titles on the forum! The kind of posts that are written in red and bold are usually by high-level accounts, the so-called experts! ¡°Nokes Hero Inheritance, Valued at a Minimum of $10 Million, Because the WCG Championship Prize Is $10 Million!¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart raced wildly! Ten million! In US Dollars! My scroll is worth ten million dollars! At least ten million dollars! Then how much is the maximum? Da Fei excitedly clicked into the post. ¨C¡°With this scroll, give me a reason why an Orc player can¡¯t win the championship? Unless this player¡¯s brain is dumber than an Orc¡¯s!¡± Da Fei was taken aback, just one sentence? Where¡¯s the substance? Is this a fluff post? Yet, it¡¯s good fluff, I like it! Haha! Hey, there¡¯s another technical post below about ¡°The Ultimate Configuration Plan for Nokes Hero Inheritance, Valued Ultimately at $50 Million!¡± Whoa! Don¡¯t scare me! Another 50 million popped out? Not in yen, right? Da Fei excitedly clicked into the post to view. ¨C¡°First, you need a God-level Hero with expertise in Six-level Troop Two-legged Flying Dragon specialization. The biggest feature of the Two-legged Flying Dragon is flying troops with an impressive self-healing ability, coupled with the Orc¡¯s dual resistance career features, being a six-level high-defense and long-health Two-legged Flying Dragon already has battlefield survival ability far surpassing four-level Vampire Soldiers. Once you add the Bloodsucking Skill, it completely annihilates Vampires! Not to mention, the Orc¡¯s main force, Frenzied Beastmen, would also receive the bloodsucking bonus¡­¡± Hahaha! Although many things weren¡¯t very clear, it seemed really substantial! Truly an expert! Do you know what an expert is? Have you watched ¡°Antiques Roadshow¡±? Those antique experts on the guest seats who say, ¡°This is a fake,¡± and it is a fake, or ¡°This is worth tens of thousands,¡± and it¡¯s worth tens of thousands. That¡¯s an expert! That¡¯s authority! If the authority said at least 50 million, how could I have any objections? Haha, hahaha! Bring it on, next post! ¡°Sell Now, Maximum $1 Million, Selling for $100 Million a Year Later Is Also Normal!¡± A year later? $100 million? Getting more and more exaggerated! Fifty million turned into $100 million? Da Fei laughed so hard his jaw almost fell off! ¨C¡°Orcs using Tier 2 and Tier 3 troops to conquer the world? Wrong! God-level inheritance takes Orcs to the stage of High-level Soldiers decisive battle! The Bloodsucking Skill itself doesn¡¯t hold much significance for cannon-fodder Low-level Soldiers; surely those who played Vampires in beta testing will regret their weak Blood Defense in the later stages, right? True, a four-level soldier is ultimately a four-level soldier, with its own attribute limitations hindering the play of extraordinary skills. But Orcs are different; Attack, Blood Defense, the damage caused by the hero¡¯s Blood Rage pushes this race to the pinnacle of melee combat, which is the true stage for the Bloodsucking Skill to shine! So this scroll should reach its maximum value when sold later! By that time, the national war zone will be fully open, the market will be fully regulated, facing global tycoons, ship kings, oil kings; selling it to a foreigner for $100 million will be easy, it¡¯s earning foreign exchange for the country!¡± ¡­ Tears blurred Da Fei¡¯s eyes. I always thought forums were places for cost-free rumors to hurt people and stir trouble, didn¡¯t expect there were so many good people on forums! Were they afraid I would sell at a loss? Actually, I am not that greedy, selling for a few million, I¡¯m talking about US dollars, would satisfy me! However, since the experts said it was definitely above ten million, if I sold it for just a few million, I¡¯d be ridiculed by people around the world as a fool! At this moment, yet another conspicuous bold post appeared: ¡°Selling for $100 Million Later? Bull! Later, when God-level Heroes roam everywhere and God-level scrolls litter the streets, who the heck is afraid of your bloodsucking inheritance! Sell it early if you want to sell!¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened. Is this someone trying to buy my scroll by deliberately undervaluing it to throw cold water? With a gloomy face, Da Fei clicked into the post. ¨C¡°In online games, the first piece of equipment obtained is a Divine Artifact, the Nth piece obtained is nonsense! Do you really think with tens of millions of players worldwide involved in various adventures, a Bloodsucking Scroll can¡¯t be managed? Ask the Mage Academy if their Alchemy Magic Statues are afraid of your bloodsucking? Ask the Undead Race if they are afraid of your bloodsucking? An Orc wanting to win the WCG championship? Ask the Swedish Ghost King if they agree? The person who posted that is dumber than an Orc, and anyone who believes that post is dumber than dumb! This thing is worth at most one or two million; the later, the less it¡¯s worth!¡± Boom! This post was earth-shattering, instantly bringing Da Fei down from the clouds! Following were replies: ¡°Yo! You think you can settle a scroll that can create tens of millions of dollars in value in the early stage for one or two million? You¡¯re not conning right!¡± ¡°Orc¡¯s physical and magic resistance fears undead? You¡¯re joking! Besides having many soldiers, what else can undead do?¡± ¡°Lousy low-level scam! Identified!¡± ¡°Is the Swedish Ghost King your dad? You¡¯re such a foreign-worshipper!¡± ¡­ For a moment, Da Fei was bewildered! Dammit, although my mental price was a few million, I¡¯m talking about US dollars. But geez! One or two million without even saying if it¡¯s yen, and you think you can settle this is way too shady? Forums are indeed a chaotic place. Hmph, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, who cares how fierce the forum blows are. I¡¯ll see how much buyers are offering. The comments are just onlookers, no need to browse through them; true interests are in private messages. Da Fei opened the private message box, a thousand private messages! Hahaha, a thousand people wanted to buy in just a few minutes! This is the real deal. Da Fei began scrolling through the messages. All were non-quoting ¡°Add my chat number and we¡¯ll discuss in detail!¡± Damn! As busy as I am, am I going to chat in detail with a thousand people? At this moment, an attention-grabbing, gleaming golden message appeared: ¡°I am Long Zhan from Dragon Slayer Guild, the largest player guild in China. I represent the guild to discuss the transaction price with you. Dragon Slayer Guild, robust in strength and reputable, looks forward to your reply. Chat number 5313XXXX, password 1688168.¡± Da Fei was suddenly jolted. Dragon Slayer Guild! If they¡¯re buying, it¡¯s really more reliable than trading privately. Large guilds have a reputation guarantee. Let¡¯s see how much they¡¯re offering. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only At this moment, an in-game prompt appeared. ¨CSystem Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Warning! A large number of enemy ships have appeared ahead. Da Fei was suddenly startled; he had arrived! Hurriedly returning to the game. At this time, the Flying was already approaching the barrier. Da Fei immediately pulled out his binoculars to look; indeed, he saw many dark paddle boats docked along the distant shores of the barrier, with hordes of Demon Infants continually loading ominous looking, black-smoke-emitting items onto the boats. No need to say, the national war was approaching! These ships were undoubtedly prepared for players of the Hell Race. Damn! No way, was I going to take on all these ships in a naval battle all by myself with one ship? (Asking for various votes!) Chapter 106 - Chapter 106 Chapter 103 The Hell Race of the American Zone Chapter 106: Chapter 103: The Hell Race of the American Zone Chapter 106: Chapter 103: The Hell Race of the American Zone Da Fei was startled as he looked through the telescope at the long row of ships. Flying suddenly turned as Catherine exclaimed from the pilot house: ¡°Captain, the enemy ships are all fast rowing assault vessels with ramming prows installed at their bows which have massive destructive power. We can¡¯t outrun them here, and once they ram into us, the consequences will be unimaginable! Let¡¯s take evasive action now while they haven¡¯t spotted us!¡± Da Fei was alarmed and filled with fear! Indeed, the calm underground seas are perfect for these rowing boats! What if these dozens or even hundreds of ships charged at him? At that moment, the Flower Demon Instructor flew over and pointed at the black smoke rising from the distant ships: ¡°My lord, that¡¯s corrupted soil extracted from lava by the Demons, which can cause great damage to the roots of the World Tree!¡± So that¡¯s it! Looks like the players from the Hell Race¡¯s task is to transport this soil into the Pool of Radiance and pollute it extensively? Damn! Are you kidding me? With the mission in this state, it can¡¯t possibly be completed by me alone, right? Although I am a brilliant rising star and can take on ten at a time, surely I can¡¯t handle a hundred by myself? Scout! Da Fei stealthily dispatched an Elite Charm Emperor. Although Deirdre had warned that the enemy would be on high alert, the shore was so noisy right now, how alert could they possibly be? Speaking of which, in the fight where we just killed that hero, the attributes of the Charm Emperor had slightly increased once again: ¡ª Growing Elite Charm Emperor: A small-sized Elite Demon Creature, Attack 18, Defense 11, Damage 17-23, Life 141, Attack Speed 11, Command Value 12, Special Skills: Long-range Shooting, Flying Creature, Scout, War Plunder, Agile Evasion, Charming Technique. Attack +1, Life +4! That was the growth from the recent battle. But the same goes for killing an Epic Hero, defeating someone like Asmode directly resulted in significant growth, but killing this old man only added a bit to the attributes, what¡¯s that? Diminishing returns in later stages of growth? Or did the old man just not have as many level 8 hero nutrients? No matter what, at least one thing is certain: in the end, a game is just a game, not a scientific research or life engineering project, fighting is the simplest way to improve combat capabilities! So, let¡¯s fight! I don¡¯t believe it, even such haughtily powerful level 8 military heroes along with crafty ones have been taken down by me, what can these broken ships do to me? Da Fei raised his telescope to continue observing the ships on the distant shore. Upon closer inspection, those rowing ships were actually just large manned rowboats. They had low hulls with no Crossbow Cannons, and most importantly, there was no protection whatsoever on the ship ¨C completely exposed to attacks from Crossbow Cannons and Jungle Hunters. In other words, as they charged towards me, I could shoot them down from my higher position! As long as I¡¯m not surrounded, I still have a huge advantage. Plus, I have a large group of Flower Demons to cause chaos on the enemy ships. Having an air force in a naval battle really does give me an overwhelming advantage! Damn, looking at it this way, isn¡¯t my ship an aircraft carrier? Wahaha, anyway, as long as the Hell Race doesn¡¯t have a Great Demon, everything should be fine. Could there possibly be a Great Demon among the current players? Impossible! So, I need to hold steady! Even against a million, I shall go forth! However, I can¡¯t stay calm about the scroll matter! It¡¯s like those who win the second prize in a lottery, not only are they not happy, but they are also angry enough to spit blood: ¡°Just one number off! Originally, I really meant to pick that number! Damn it!¡±, Da Fei never won a lottery, let alone a second prize, but now he could finally understand that feeling! The difference between millions and tens of millions is like the difference between second and first prizes, enough to trouble a person for a lifetime! Not to mention, not every second prize even wins tens of thousands! This is called being stuck in one¡¯s thoughts and not enjoying one¡¯s wealth comfortably, it¡¯s the pain of rich people! How should I set a price? So painful! Wahaha! Anyway, let me take another look at the forum! ¡­ West Coast of the United States, Los Angeles. In the basement garage of a building, a diverse group of teenagers gathered noisily. Some waved baseball bats, some showed off their skateboard tricks, some danced street dance energetically, and others were spray painting the walls of the garage. A door swung open, and colorful lights and rock music mixed with women¡¯s laughter spilled out. The group of teenagers immediately stood respectfully in line on either side of the doorway. A fat man stepped out and flung out some cash: ¡°Twenty cases of beer! Ten minutes!¡± The teenagers responded thunderously: ¡°YES! SIR!¡± In a flash, they sped out of the garage on their skateboards. This unassuming underground bar in the basement garage, named ¡°Desire Hell¡±, is actually a branch of the world-renowned U.S. Supernova Team¡¯s Los Angeles Hell Team. Those teenagers at the door were trying to join the team but had yet to succeed. To show their sincerity, they used this place as a gathering center and enthusiastically helped with chores and deliveries for the bar. The garage was dark and silent, the entrance to the bar inconspicuous, but inside the bar, it was a different world. Upon entering, there was a dance floor with passionate pole-dancing girls. The walls of the bar were covered with high-definition big screens showing game scenes. Bunny-eared beauties wearing only aprons laughed hilariously as they served drinks and snacks to the team members lounging on sofas wearing helmets. The players would then slap their greasy hands on the smooth buttocks of the server girls, provoking a round of raucous laughter. This wasn¡¯t hell; this was the paradise that the garage teenagers aspired to! In the center, on a large sofa, the massive team captain Howell took a swig of beer and laughed heartily, asking: ¡°Peterson, how much longer?¡± Beside him on the sofa, a skinny, pale-faced curly-haired man retorted grumpily: ¡°The Japanese are not in a hurry, what are you rushing for?¡± Howell burst out laughing: ¡°I really want to see the ridiculous look on the faces of the Japanese!¡± Shake shook his head: ¡°It won¡¯t be more than 2 hours.¡± Howell grumbled: ¡°Why is it still so long.¡± ¡°It¡¯s already been moved up significantly; it was supposed to be after 8 a.m. tomorrow, but there¡¯s a very powerful player in the China Region who is rapidly advancing the process.¡± Howell laughed heartily: ¡°Confident?¡± Shake coldly smiled: ¡°That depends on whether the Japanese give me a chance to enter the game.¡± Howell burst out laughing: ¡°Of course! The Japanese are only good at business. When it comes to fighting, they have pig brains ¨C in the past, now, and in the future! Only we, Great America, are the strongest on Earth ¨C in the past, now, and in the future! Neither the Japanese nor the Chinese can shake our status! Be it military, politics, sports, or gaming! We¡¯ll make the Japanese realize that even in gaming they can never be first! They should just obediently listen up!¡± Shake coldly smiled: ¡°Every time I hear you flaunt your patriotism, I feel like throwing up! I hear your broken leg crying!¡± Howell laughed out loud: ¡°Kid, that¡¯s a hymn from hell!¡± Howell, a retired Lieutenant from the U.S. Marine Corps, is a fervent patriot who mercilessly attacks enemies that infringe on American and global American interests, or rather, he is a butcher who kills fervently in the name of patriotism. His right leg was blown off by a landmine in Iraq, and he has no regrets in life. Game ID: Wolverine, Hero Special Ability: Overwhelmer, every level up grants the hero 1% extra damage against small-sized creatures. Peterson, former U.S. Army Sergeant stationed in Afghanistan, drone operator. He was a seasoned hacker before enlisting. He was discharged for excessively using drones to kill civilians during his service. For him, ordinary games no longer satisfy him, which is why he was eager to enlist and go to Afghanistan, where ordinary soldiers least want to go. Game ID: SawSaw. His Hero Special Ability is: Great Demon Commander! Teleportation distance of Great Demons is increased by 50%, and their damage is boosted by 10%. Yes! It¡¯s a level 7 troop¡¯s special ability! It¡¯s the special ability of Seren, a Legendary Hero from the Hell Race! Heroic Creation Era is a game developed based on American military engines, and naturally, the United States knows more secrets than other partners. Although it does not cheat by exploiting backdoors, having knowledge about the mechanisms of lotteries means a higher chance of encountering powerful heroes compared to other countries. And SawSaw, possessing this special ability, was born a level 7 troop Great Demon! Only Great Demons can command Great Demons! Actually, the quality of Hell Race in the American Zone is not inferior to that of the Japan Region, but America¡¯s international image dictates that the Supernova Team cannot develop the Hell Race. Therefore, the Hell Race accounts end up with a group of veterans, somewhat mentally unstable due to various discharges, receiving real psychological healing in this artificial hell created in the bar, and their talents are truly realized, representing the highest level of esports; but their reputation is not notable, as they are too high-spirited to compete with professional players for fame and profit, perhaps only psychologists and psychiatrists know what they¡¯re thinking. Now, SawSaw has perfectly returned from the novice trials of purgatory, and he and his buddies can¡¯t wait to stir up something in the world. ¡­ System Prompt pulled Da Fei back from the noisy forum once again, the Charming Emperor returned from reconnaissance. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Damn it, what¡¯s the use of watching forums? I¡¯m underground, unable to trade with others. Better honestly complete the task first. The Charming Emperor reported: ¡°Master! I have important intelligence about the instructor!¡± Eh? She can talk now? While surprised, a Task Hint appeared: ¨CMaster, I have transformed into an apprentice of an Evil Mage and successfully infiltrated the enemy¡¯s main Magic Tower. This is a great opportunity to create chaos! I can operate this Magic Tower! Da Fei¡¯s brow twitched! Damn, worthy of being my darling, truly incredible! (Ah, the unit has started a major safety inspection before National Day¡­) Chapter 107 - Chapter 107 Chapter 104 Transforming into Spiderman to Chapter 107: Chapter 104 Transforming into Spiderman to Infiltrate Chapter 107: Chapter 104 Transforming into Spiderman to Infiltrate The game¡¯s progression always had a pattern to follow. Da Fei took out all the Mages in the newly built Magic Watchtower, so the old watchtowers had to pull people out to fill the vacancies, leaving the old watchtowers understaffed. Thus, the disguised Deirdre naturally blended in. As for how Deirdre, after infiltrating, would relay the intelligence, this question didn¡¯t need to be tangled with, because this was a game, not scientific research; what the NPCs said was what it was. What did it mean once you controlled a powerful old watchtower? Of course, it meant blasting everything around, especially that row of broken ships by the shore! Once they were cleared, it was time to skedaddle. Da Fei made a decisive decision, and the sneaking operation commenced again! So, Da Fei discussed a plan with Katrina for meeting up, and the Flying set sail for the watchtower where Deirdre was located. Upon arriving at the destination, the Flying continued to hide behind the roots of a large tree, and Da Fei again activated Stealth and Phantom March, diving into the water and swimming all the way to the shore; the first step went smoothly. At this moment, Da Fei found himself wedged between two Hell Warships, with Demon Infants hopping around, transporting goods onto the ships, and along the shore were Horned Demon Governors standing guard every three steps. The line of guards stretched along the lakeshore as far as the eye could see! Da Fei was instantly dumbfounded! Damn! They were using a human Great Wall to bolster security? Even with his God-level Reconnaissance Technique, he couldn¡¯t slip through such tightly packed spaces, could he? Reconnaissance Skills weren¡¯t the same as Invisibility Techniques! Admittedly, this method, though primitive, was very effective, and it left Da Fei in a bit of a pickle for a moment. What to do? Cut a bloody path through? Damn, don¡¯t joke around. Deirdre had said that any commotion would provoke the Magic Tower to launch indiscriminate attacks. Perhaps he could cause a commotion and have them indiscriminately destroy these ships as well? Could the game really be that unreliable? Wait a minute, something was still off! During the last operation, he clearly saw a puddle in the photo, allowing him to hide from Hellhounds; but there weren¡¯t any puddles nearby now. Even if he smuggled himself ashore, the Hellhounds would inevitably discover him! Da Fei was dumbfounded again! Was this the rumored technique that¡¯s ineffective against a Saint the second time? No way, was this task forcing players to confront head-on? Was the quest that much of a trap unless he could fly like a Banshee¨C Fly? Da Fei looked up at the sky; the Underworld had no sky, just a ceiling. Right, wasn¡¯t that Spider Hero invading the barrier from the ceiling? He could try walking on the ceiling too, who knows if it might work. Da Fei opened the C-level treasure Cliff Walker Backpack he got from the Spider Hero, and rather than a backpack, it resembled a grotesque organ, a spider¡¯s silk sac? From the item¡¯s description, it seemed like a climbing grappling hook; he would try it out in a safe place. Da Fei quietly swam back and hid behind a tree root where no one could see him. Click to use! A red line similar to a crosshair shot upward from the backpack¡¯s opening. Oh yeah, it even had target indication! ¨CSystem Prompt: Please choose a climbing entry point. Right there, confirm! Bang! With a dull thud, a thick white line shot out from the backpack following the red line¡¯s target, sticking to a chunk of rock on the ceiling with a slap. Oh yeah? The backpack deflated? Sure enough, it was spider silk! It was indeed a silk sac! ¨CSystem Prompt: Adhesive point completed, using the stationary retraction feature or reverse retraction feature allows you to execute various climbing actions. Stationary retraction? Reverse retraction? Da Fei pulled on the unstirring silk line and realized, of course, it was reverse retraction! Immediately, the deflated backpack began to inflate like taking a breath, while Da Fei also slowly ascended to the ceiling! Wahahaha! So that¡¯s how it worked! The so-called stationary retraction is just like a fishing rod reeling line. Compared to ordinary grappling hooks, this thing had an exceptionally long range, didn¡¯t require any skills, no effort on one¡¯s part, and most importantly, it didn¡¯t require specific entry points, damn, it really was a treasure! Even though it was a C-level item and couldn¡¯t contribute to an army, it was a Divine Artifact for players sneaking into a city! The legendary 3D Maneuvering Device! Truly worthy equipment from the Spider Hero, here he was turning into Spiderman! Now, with most of the silk line retracted into the bag, Da Fei was hanging from the ceiling, taking in the bustling shoreline view. Through the barrier, he peeked outside, seeing Hellhounds patrolling in scattered groups! Damn, they really trapped his God-level Stealth! But, he came from the sky! Wahahaha! Da Fei again aimed his backpack at a protruding rock ahead on the ceiling, spraying sticky silk, and now, with two points and one line, the elevator turned into a roller coaster cable car! It was simply a cozy ride! Now, Da Fei grew more adept at using the treasure, continuously spraying line and retracting along the ceiling, a few jumps later he was out of the barrier, crossed the lake beach, and hung quietly above the main Magic Tower as mentioned by Deirdre. On the mini-map, the green dot representing Deirdre was right below in the tower. And on the tower¡¯s top were hundreds of Flower Demons being held. It truly was the main tower; if successful, rescuing these hundreds of Flower Demons would make his Flower Demon Army strong enough to storm the insect nest in the Pool of Radiance. Now, utmost caution was necessary, and as Da Fei prepared to control a Charming Emperor for reconnaissance, angry roars echoed from the tower. ¨C¡°Idiot! Useless! What exactly can you do? How did you sneak in as an apprentice?¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat, who was getting scolded? The roar resounded again: ¡°Spirit Magic? That¡¯s not needed here! If I didn¡¯t lack personnel now, I¡¯d chop you up to feed the Hellhounds!¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart raced, releasing silk to let himself dangle down, and at this angle, he saw a flame-engulfed Mage furiously pointing at a black-robed masked apprentice through the watchtower¡¯s upper window. Damn! That apprentice was the green dot on the mini-map; it was Deirdre! And that Mage, ablaze head to toe, was standing on a brilliant red aura, damn! A hero! The main tower was guarded by a hero? Now things got big! Was this her so-called successful infiltration into the Magic Tower? She, a Banshee, only knew charming spells, posing as an NPC apprentice yet lacked real substance! In reality, she and apprentice weren¡¯t the same type of NPC at all. NPCs in the game were roughly divided into troop units, hero units, and ordinary NPCs. Troops and hero units could be recruited by players into armies, with their data following strict level settings and balance settings. Ordinary NPCs wouldn¡¯t join player teams; they were just wandering characters on the street, with rather loose data settings, for instance, if an NPC Mage Apprentice was said to have a certain amount of health, then that¡¯s it, and if said to know Fireball Technique, then they did. So now Deirdre was in an extremely dangerous situation, on the verge of being exposed! What to do? If exposed, he¡¯d have no choice but to sacrifice himself to distract the hero, covering Deirdre¡¯s escape! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Mage continued to berate, ¡°Although we¡¯re short-handed here, having an extra useless fool is worse than continuing to be short-handed! Though you¡¯re a waste, even a sanitary pad or a pair of underwear has its use, since you know Spirit Magic, I¡¯ll give you a simple task and if my patrol returns and you still haven¡¯t completed it, wait to be dog food!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have received the time-limited mission ¡°Clear the Mischievous Resentful Spirits in the Cleft¡±! ¨CTask Hint: Deirdre must complete the task assigned by the hero Siriel before his patrol ends, or else her situation will be perilous. Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! Damn, what was this? He received a quest from the enemy? (Note: Siriel Xyron, the frustrating hero with a Hellfire specialty and fourth-level magic in Heroic Might 3, with insufficient initial Mana to cast Hellfire. Initial skill is a Divine Skill, Academics.) Chapter 108 - Chapter 108 Chapter 105 Taking on the Enemys Mission is Quite Chapter 108: Chapter 105 Taking on the Enemy¡¯s Mission is Quite Exhilarating Chapter 108: Chapter 105 Taking on the Enemy¡¯s Mission is Quite Exhilarating Deirdre, transformed into an apprentice, walked out of the tower and headed deeper underground. Good, she¡¯s out! This is escaping the jaws of death. This transformation infiltration no longer seems reliable. It¡¯s crucial to abandon the mission and make a run for it. Without further thought, Da Fei immediately flew high along the ceiling, trying to contact her. Crossing layers of underground workshops, construction sites, and lava pools, Deirdre reached a secluded part behind the Demon Camp where there were hardly any people. Da Fei finally could speak to her and descended from the sky. Deirdre exclaimed with delight, ¡°Master!¡± Although wearing a mask, her voice remained clear and seductive, and her black robe still failed to cover her alluring figure. Damn, are you sure you¡¯ve transformed? Da Fei hurried to say, ¡°The situation has changed, we can¡¯t eliminate that hero named Siriel controlling the Magic Tower. Abandon the mission, let¡¯s get out of here.¡± Deirdre sighed, ¡°I managed to sneak into the Magic Tower successfully, but the Hell Race suddenly sent a Mage instructor hero for onsite apprentice training. I was caught at once¨Cbut I don¡¯t want to miss this opportunity!¡± Da Fei was shocked, ¡°Opportunity?¡± Deirdre nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right. This Siriel is a famous Demon mentor. Normally, you can¡¯t even meet him. If it weren¡¯t for the war temporarily expanding many Magic Towers and recruiting a lot of apprentices, and due to the severe issues exposed from your attack, this Demon mentor wouldn¡¯t have appeared. It¡¯s said that he trained many renowned hero commanders. If I can perform well and gain his appreciation, I might receive inspiration to become a hero!¡± Da Fei anxiously said, ¡°No, no! If the mission isn¡¯t completed, you¡¯ll be in danger!¡± Deirdre laughed softly, leaning softly against Da Fei, and said in a gentle voice, ¡°But how could a man bear to kill a woman?¡± ¨CApu! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of blood! What the heck, is this the legendary tale of female students and professors? Luckily, this is a game, otherwise, I¡¯d have risked everything to blow up that tower and crush him! Da Fei sighed inwardly. It seemed she was determined to take this risk. Given the current situation, running away wouldn¡¯t solve anything. It wouldn¡¯t work out to rely on that single Flower Demon barracks to accumulate soldiers, right? Since I don¡¯t know how to cultivate her into a hero, let¡¯s just do as she wishes. Once she becomes a hero, I won¡¯t have to worry about her safety. I¡¯ll support her. Even if she doesn¡¯t become a hero, gaining further trust will be beneficial for our actions. Da Fei then asked, ¡°Can you use help on the task of clearing the Resentful Spirits?¡± Deirdre smiled, ¡°Thank you for your support, Master. I do urgently need help! The quicker I complete the task, the more likely I¡¯ll be appreciated.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s act quickly.¡± The so-called chasm should be the dumping ground for the Demons. All creatures that resisted them were killed and piled up here, forming a stinking Bone Mountain. Where there are dead bodies, there are usually Resentful Spirits, which are common task monsters in the game. Their attack strategy mainly includes haunted houses, pranks, and sabotage, which are indeed troublemakers (thrilling). This might be the reason the mentor issued this task. As Nihility Bodies, the Resentful Spirits had excellent physical evasion attributes and could absorb the enemy¡¯s mana to replenish their own life, qualifying them as the most annoying level 3 units. Their weakness was fear of Spirit Magic such as ¡°Soul Scream¡± and ¡°Banshee¡¯s Howl.¡± Unfortunately, Deirdre, who claimed expertise in Spirit Magic in front of the mentor, still could not master these spells and urgently needed help. Da Fei, with two Elite Charm Emperors in tow, indeed provided strong support with his attack and defense bonuses. Normal Banshees had low damage, limiting the power of their Chain Shooting. But elite and BOSS-level Banshees were different, and with lightning flashing continuously, the roaming Resentful Spirits in the chasm were cleared. ¨CSystem Prompt: Deirdre completed the task ¡°Clear the Disruptive Resentful Spirits in the Chasm¡± within the time limit. Please return to Siriel immediately to report. Deirdre exclaimed in joy, ¡°Thank you, Master! Completing the task so quickly will definitely make the mentor see me differently.¡± Da Fei suddenly said, ¡°Wait, there¡¯s still one left!¡± Deirdre exclaimed in surprise, ¡°Another one?¡± Da Fei nodded solemnly. Indeed, Da Fei¡¯s mini-map radar still showed a red dot, which hadn¡¯t been paid much attention to initially. It wasn¡¯t until the task was completed that it was noticed that there was still a monster uncleared. This meant the monster had never shown itself. Da Fei knew that the world seen with his God-level Reconnaissance Skill differed from ordinary players, so this monster that had never shown itself might be a hidden BOSS! With such a big Bone Mountain and such a huge scene, it¡¯s only reasonable to have a BOSS, right? If it hasn¡¯t shown itself yet is such a big red dot, wouldn¡¯t it be like a sun if it did show up? Ghost Vengeful Spirits and the like are usually defined as Plane creatures, which means that it should be hiding in the Otherworld. The Otherworld is within the reconnaissance range of his God-level Reconnaissance Skill and the attack range of the Phantom Crossbow Cannon! Yet, without bringing the Phantom Crossbow Cannon and uncertain if time permitted to kill the BOSS, according to workplace principles, it¡¯s always best to ask permission early and report results late. Although independently acting employees might surprise their leaders, more often they displeased them. Da Fei, with a plan in mind, immediately said, ¡°Here¡¯s the chance to achieve great feats and genuinely make the mentor see you differently! You report back and say there¡¯s still a powerful Resentful Spirit hidden, and ask the mentor if you should kill it! The mentor will surely be amazed by your discovery and talent and approve of your plan to kill it, then we¡¯ll finish off this Resentful Spirit and surprise him!¡± Deirdre, filled with joy, said, ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll report back immediately!¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°Time is tight, let¡¯s act quickly. I¡¯ll go back now to fetch the crossbow cannon to deal with it!¡± Da Fei set the two Charm Emperors to Independent Expedition status, letting them stay in place, hide, and then found a lava pool to jump in. Oh yeah! Indeed, the fastest way to return was to die and revive! That¡¯s the convenience of games. Da Fei revived in the Captain¡¯s cabin, rushed to the gun cabin to dismantle the Phantom Crossbow Cannon. ¡­ At this moment, the Magic Watchtower. Deirdre was glancing around at the door, waiting for Shireka¡¯s arrival. Boom! Amid the roar of flames, Shireka, having inspected other watchtowers, made a grand entrance via Teleportation Movement. His attitude remained arrogant, ¡°It seems you¡¯re quite smug about your success?¡± Deirdre immediately responded, ¡°No, mentor¨C¡± Shireka shouted angrily, ¡°Shut up! You are not worthy!¡± Deirdre hastily said, ¡°Report to the General, although I cleared all the Resentful Spirits, a stronger one remains hidden. I request instructions from the General on whether to kill it?¡± Sure enough, Shireka¡¯s entire body of flames suddenly trembled, ¡°A stronger Resentful Spirit? How did you discover it?¡± Deirdre smiled coquettishly, ¡°A woman¡¯s intuition¡­¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Shireka laughed wildly, ¡°Is that so? Then as you wish, go eliminate it with your woman¡¯s intuition! There¡¯s no time limit for this task, but I hope you can make it for the handover shift by tomorrow morning!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Deirdre received the task ¡°Eliminate the Culprit in the Chasm!¡± At this moment, Da Fei, having finished packaging the Phantom Crossbow Cannon, clenched his fist with joy upon seeing this information, ¡°Oh yeah!¡± Damn, why am I not as happy accepting my task as I am excited about an enemy¡¯s task? This isn¡¯t good, not good¡­ (Vote for support!) Chapter 109 - Chapter 109 Chapter 106 Deirdre Becomes an Apprentice Chapter 109: Chapter 106 Deirdre Becomes an Apprentice Chapter 109: Chapter 106 Deirdre Becomes an Apprentice For Da Fei, who had transformed into Spiderman, the Demon Camp might as well be an uninhabited land. Just like that old spider who also could use advanced Stealth, it was a case of an eye for an eye. Da Fei once again arrived at the corpse-strewn ravine, where Deirdre had been waiting for a long time. No need for words, he found a spot to assemble the Crossbow Cannon. There was no space to set up the cannon on the bone-covered mountain as it was too uneven, and it also grossed out Da Fei; he found a flat ground just within range of the red dot. The downside of Extreme Shooting is the reduced damage, but the advantage is the longer range, which provides enough time to reload for a second shot. Although the Ghost Vengeful Spirit is a Flying Soldier, nicknamed ¡°Piaopiao,¡± it is as slow as some infantry. Together with the ¡°Shake,¡± the level 2 Flying Soldier Stone-statue Ghost from the Mage Academy, they are known as the Piaoyao Combination, the game¡¯s only two flying units that are slower than some foot soldiers. So even if the first round doesn¡¯t kill the enemy, there is still plenty of time for Da Fei to reload. By that time, the enemy would have just entered full range, ready for a critical hit. The assembly of the Crossbow Cannon begins. The annoying thing about War Machine Science is that a whole day in game time is only 2.4 hours, but it takes half an hour just fiddling with the Crossbow Cannon. Ten minutes later, the assembly of the Crossbow Cannon is complete. Bro can¡¯t wait any longer! Oh, wait! The ghost¡¯s special skill has a 50% chance to dodge attacks, with the third attack guaranteed to hit after two consecutive dodges. What if Bro¡¯s luck is terrible and both shots from the double-shot Crossbow Cannon are dodged? That would be disgusting. And this ghost is definitely a BOSS, who knows if it can cast spells? If it isn¡¯t severely damaged, who knows what kind of counterattack it will unleash? Nothing more to say, when levelling up to level 27, I saved up 1 Skill Point, and learned Triple Crossbow. -Triple Crossbow: After mastering precise Arrow Skill, the hero gets enlightened, pushing the Crossbow Cannon to its limits to fire three arrows at once. The price is the Crossbow Cannon¡¯s Durability will continuously decrease. Learning prerequisites: Master War Machine Science, Master Level Archery, Crossbow Master. Bro¡¯s current force composition consists of the Crossbow Cannon and ranged troops, there¡¯s no reason not to learn this sub-skill derived from Arrow Skill and War Machine Science. As for the reduction in Durability, utterly ignore it. The Phantom Crossbow Cannon isn¡¯t mine to keep anyway, I wouldn¡¯t be heartbroken if it breaks. -System Prompt: You spent 1 Skill Point and learned the combined sub-skill ¡°Triple Crossbow¡±! Master-level Crossbow Cannon stats are 30 Attack, 6-7 Basic Damage. At level 27, Bro has a total of 26 upgrade attribute points plus 5 attribute points from Junior Navigator, giving a total of 31 points, with Total Damage = Basic Damage x Total attribute points = 186-217. With a 150% bonus from 30 Attack, it comes to 465-542 damage, and with 30 Magic Power Enchantment, the damage from Master-level Ice Pillar Magic is 468 points. Bro¡¯s cannon deals a damage of a thousand! Even with physical damage reduced by half at maximum range, 800 damage is still there. In short, even if Bro is incredibly unlucky and two shots miss due to dodges, the third shot can still blast 800 of its health! It¡¯s equivalent to the damage of a one-shot kill of a 900-health crocodile on Pirate Island! Since a ghost has no form or body, how high could its Blood Defense be? Higher than a crocodile? Now everyone is in position and ready, aim! -System Prompt: Your Phantom Crossbow Cannon has locked onto an unknown target from another plane, do you wish to attack? Attack! The base of the Phantom Crossbow Cannon burst into a dazzling magical light, boom pop pop pop! Three shots go off in succession, the Crossbow Arrows turn into three flashes of white light that disappear into thin air as soon as they leave the barrel, and then boom boom boom! The space around the target violently warps, and ice shards explode everywhere¨CMiss! -612! -598! A horrifying scream echoed through the ravine, deafening, and -40 damage popped above Da Fei¡¯s head! At the same time, a large cloud of white mist appeared in the middle of the bone mountain! Damn it! Soul Scream! Such a large formation! In that instant, Da Fei¡¯s minimap was lit up with red! Although not the worst-case scenario since only one shot was dodged, the Resentful Spirit¡¯s Blood Defense was beyond imagination! Plus, even at that distance, it was able to hit with a spell for 40 health, what would happen if it got closer? ¡°Take cover! Don¡¯t fire!!!¡± Da Fei shouted at Deirdre while hurriedly reloading, with a herd of grass-mud horses galloping through his mind! How cruel is the world outside this barrier? Is this map not really a place for someone of Bro¡¯s level? But Bro has always been unlucky in life, always preparing for the worst while hoping for the best! Moreover, it¡¯s not bad luck yet. Come on, Bro doesn¡¯t believe he won¡¯t flip you over with the second shot! The white fog blanketing the valley flashed with lightning, illuminating the entire Underground World, and Da Fei¡¯s eyes narrowed in shock! Damn it! Lightning Strike!!! And at that moment, a piercing scream erupted from the Demon Camp, like a gust of wind sweeping through, and the white fog in the valley suddenly shuddered. The screen filled with ¡°-3¡± ¡°-4¡± ¡°-2¡± damage numbers dazzling Da Fei¡¯s in-app purchase-gilded helmet dog eyes! At the same time, a -50 damage number popped over Da Fei¡¯s head! Amidst the indiscriminate screen-wide assault, the lightning in the rising white fog disappeared without a trace! What was that? Regardless, it bought precious time for Da Fei to reload! Da Fei was ecstatic, his hands never stopped, and he finished loading the Crossbow Cannon! Without thinking about anything else, Da Fei kicked the trigger fiercely! -Boom pop pop pop!!! The Triple Crossbow Cannon shots whistled through the air! During the third shot, a rainbow light soared! The Misfortune Hourglass finally paid its respects to Dad! -634! -Miss! -1156! -System Prompt: Congratulations! You have slain a Tree Elf Vengeful Spirit, and gained Experience +360,000! You have obtained a B-class strategic treasure Tree Elf Bow, and received the quest item ¡°Tree Elf Heart¡±. -System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to 28! You have gained +1 free attribute point¡­ -System Prompt: Deirdre has completed the quest ¡°[Slay the Culprit in the Ravine!]¡± -System Prompt: After the fierce battle, your Charming Emperor¡¯s Army has grown! Deirdre jumped out from her hiding place excitedly cheering: ¡°Master! We¡¯ve won!¡± Da Fei burst out laughing! This Demon Camp really lived up to its high-security state, what timely and satisfying help! Thanks, haha! This map truly is no place for a brother to mingle in, I almost took a fall. ¡ª-System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A large number of troops are approaching you! Please be on alert. Da Fei was so shocked his jaw dropped to the ground! Holy shit! Could it be the sudden appearance of a BOSS has alarmed the Demon Army? What am I thanking them for? I can hide, but what about the Phantom Crossbow Cannon? Deirdre exclaimed in shock, ¡°Master, quick, hide!¡± At this point, there was only one way out. Da Fei hurriedly said to Deirdre, ¡°Just say that the crossbow cannon is yours!¡± After finishing his sentence, he activated Stealth and Spiderman took off into the sky. Soon after, dust billowed, and a large group of Hell Horses and Hellhounds appeared, along with several Hell Barons. One of the Hell Barons stood out and galloped over to Deirdre, asking sternly, ¡°Who are you? I don¡¯t remember seeing someone like you in the camp?¡± Fuck, another level 8 hero soldier! Could this give us away? Da Fei, huddled under the ground, was sweating bullets in tension. Deirdre hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯m a student of Master Siriel, I¡¯ve been sent here on the orders of my mentor to clear out hazards in the rubbish heap!¡± A flash of red light shone from the Hell Baron¡¯s helmet, ¡°I think you¡¯re the hazard!¡± He exclaimed and prepared to bring down his Flame Cutting Horse Saber with a swing! Run!!! Da Fei was almost screaming in terror. Deirdre was ready to roll on the spot when suddenly¨CBoom! A blast of flames exploded in front of the Hell Baron, pushing him and his horse back several steps, and a Mage engulfed in flames appeared in the midst. As if meeting a savior, Deirdre shamelessly rolled behind him, clasping his thighs and cried out, ¡°Mentor! Save me!¡± Da Fei felt his heart drop from his throat to the ground and shatter. My dear heart, that scared the hell out of me! Siriel snorted coldly. Although he was not pleased to be forcefully addressed as a mentor by this shameless student, under the current circumstances, he could not deny it either, lest he be mocked by other Demons as cowardly and not willing to protect his own. ¡°Lord Alistair, just after I took office today, I discovered the issues in the bone pile. You¡¯ve been here for so long and haven¡¯t noticed a thing, which shows that the recent problems are all related to your incompetence!¡± Alistair snorted coldly as well, ¡°Everyone knows, that here lies a Guardian of the World Tree that I have exterminated. As long as it¡¯s left alone, there will be no trouble. I advise you not to overstep your authority and meddle in things you shouldn¡¯t. Your job is to teach!¡± With a whoosh, he led his troops away in a cloud of dust. Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Now he just had to get past this guy. At that moment, Deirdre sweetly smiled, ¡°Thank you for saving me, mentor!¡± Siriel grunted and went straight to the Phantom Crossbow Cannon, saying in a surprised tone, ¡°What is this?¡± Da Fei tensed up once more! Deirdre, with great admiration and exaggerated tone, accompanied by gesticulating hands and feet, said, ¡°This is a peerless invention by a great genius Mage from the surface world, which I managed to steal with great effort. Mentor, you will surely be awed and overwhelmed by it!¡± Da Fei almost pissed himself! Hey hey hey, my dear heart, you can¡¯t screw me over, that¡¯s my precious treasure! ¡°Pfft! Boring!¡± Siriel indeed snorted with contempt, turning away without giving the crossbow cannon another glance. Da Fei was stunned again. So this guy¡¯s got an attitude, huh? The more you praise it, the less he cares? This temperament, I like it, wahaha! ¡°Speak, Banshee, what is your intention?¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Did he give us away? Deirdre immediately knelt down, ¡°I want to become your student!¡± Siriel burst into flames all over, ¡°I can¡¯t teach someone too foolish, it would only damage my reputation! However, after what just happened, whether or not you¡¯re my student, you are now. Fortunately, you killed that Resentful Spirit without shaming me, so I¡¯ll reluctantly take you in!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Pshaw! A professor reluctantly taking in a beautiful student my ass, I¡¯m this close to beating you up! Deirdre was overjoyed, ¡°Thank you, mentor!¡± Siriel snorted, ¡°Come see me in the tower, you¡¯ll have to start from the basics!¡± With a boom, he disappeared from view. Oh yeah! Done deal! But why does my heart feel so sour? (Before the holiday, I was busy revising for two days, and the pressure is quite heavy on me a part-time author with a scheduled release on the first of October coming up. So dear readers, please allow me to save up three days¡¯ worth of writing, updating once a day for today, tomorrow, and the day after, and I¡¯ll have a burst of updates during the National Day holiday. Thank you all for your support!) Chapter 110 - Chapter 110 Chapter 107 Replace Destruction Target Chapter 110: Chapter 107: Replace Destruction Target Chapter 110: Chapter 107: Replace Destruction Target Now that everyone had scattered, Da Fei could finally focus on disassembling the crossbow cannon, although his mood was quite complicated. Sigh, sending the kids off to school, a parent always has to give them some pocket money or equipment or something. Even though that evil mage scoffed at the Phantom Crossbow Cannon, you could tell from the first glance he was quite shocked. Damn, this is an invention by Makar, a big name in the Death Lord¡¯s official lore, not like that nobody Siriel, right? You can¡¯t help but be shocked, can you? Maybe, without this astonishing crossbow cannon, Siriel might not have gained Deirdre¡¯s allegiance just by killing a boss. What if the mage wants to take a look when he¡¯s bored and Deirdre can¡¯t produce it? Yeah, our word is our bond, so for now, this Phantom Crossbow Cannon can only be equipped by Deirdre; it¡¯s her capital for being relied upon. Da Fei handed the packaged crossbow cannon and the ¡°Maintenance and Upkeep of Crossbow Cannons¡± skill book he had found on the ship to Deirdre, advising her, ¡°Be extremely careful!¡± ¡°Deirdre doesn¡¯t have the War Machine Skill; without this booklet for disassembling the crossbow cannon, it¡¯s absolutely a no-go.¡± Furthermore, Deirdre isn¡¯t a hero, so even if you threw a War Machine Study Skill Book in front of her, she could only stare blankly, unable to learn it. This book is very important. Deirdre happily accepted the equipment, ¡°Thank you, master. I won¡¯t keep the teacher waiting, I¡¯m off.¡± ¡°Go on, go on!¡± Man, how cool is this, sending your kid off with a Phantom Crossbow Cannon to school equips them with an aura of a big deal no one else has; this is what being a millionaire tycoon in US dollars feels like! Now it¡¯s time to see the spoils of this battle. The dear heart is studying, let¡¯s see how much the little heart has grown earlier. ¨CGrowing Elite Charm Emperor: Small-sized elite demon creature, attack 23, defense 14, damage 18-24, life 170, attack speed 11, command value 12, special skills: chain shooting, flying creature, scout, war plunder, agile evasion, charming technique. Da Fei¡¯s eyes lit up with joy. Based on the previous growth, attack increased by 5, defense by 3, damage by 1, and life jumped from 141 to 170! These attributes are undeniably stats of a Level 6 soldier, with health nearing Level 7 soldiers! As expected, the stronger the boss you kill, the faster you grow. So now, let me take a look at what loot this powerful boss dropped. ¨CTree Elf Bow: B-level strategic treasure, support equipment position. Increases hero archery effect by 15%. Da Fei was stunned! Archery effect increased by 15%? Doesn¡¯t stack 15%? That means my master-level archery effect, which increases ranged damage by 50%, now goes up to 57%? Damn! It only increases damage by 7%, and this shamelessly qualifies as a B-level strategic treasure? Are you kidding me? Any random C-level treasure that adds 2 attack points is equivalent to a 10% damage increase and affects the entire army regardless of range or melee! Wait, support equipment position! Oh, really? This bow isn¡¯t a weapon? That makes sense! Players have 10 support equipment positions; if it were a weapon, it¡¯d be garbage, worse than a C-level, but as support equipment, it¡¯s acceptable. Of course, it¡¯s just barely acceptable, miles behind an A-level support treasure like the Misfortune Hourglass, with such absurd attributes it¡¯s not fit to be B-level, but an empty equipment bar is useless, and I¡¯m not one to dislike having more treasures, ha-ha-ha! Life, it¡¯s all about slaying bosses. Every boss kill brings new thrills, never tiring of a hundred kills, ha-ha-ha! Lastly, there is this heart of the tree elf glowing faintly like ice crystals. ¨CTree Elf Vengeful Spirit Heart: Quest item. Using this item will trigger a hidden task. Da Fei shook his head and sighed heavily. Another hidden task! It must be a hidden task, right? Without the God-level Reconnaissance Technique and my high-tech crossbow cannon, who else in the world could discover and force out this boss? The problem is, I¡¯ve already got too many tasks, my heart is already jumping with worry, and I¡¯m honestly not interested in messing with any hidden tasks. But it doesn¡¯t matter, at this stage for me, it¡¯s just another debt I won¡¯t feel. Let me see what kind of task requires such high-level skills and weapons to uncover. Use! With a flash of icy light, a new attribute appeared! ¨CTree Elf Vengeful Spirit Heart: Completing the task will grant you a ¡°Raise Ranger profession level cap by 1 level¡± reward! ¨CTask information: I was once a Guardian of the World Tree, but now I am a vengeful spirit filled with regret and self-blame! Even death cannot extinguish my remorseful will! My foolishness, my mistakes, my rashness led our guard troops into a devastating ambush by the spider demons! Even the World Tree fell because of it! These maggots multiply in the demon space below the roots of the Pool of Radiance; maggots breed there in great numbers! Nonetheless, this is my final obsession, kill them all! Leave none! My hatred will grant you new strength! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have obtained information on the Abyss Blood Pool. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have accepted a related task for the Abyss Blood Pool. Facing this overwhelming negativity, Da Fei was stunned for a moment. You¡¯re kidding me. Raise the Ranger profession level cap by 1 level? Same as the Blood Eagle Flute? So, this task is specially designed for Elf Clan players? Damn! Have you considered the thoughts of players from other clans? Furthermore, the Abyss Blood Pool task collided; this is telling players that there¡¯s more than one way to accept a task, huh? Damn! I put in so much effort, honed my magical skills, broke out in a cold sweat, even sent my heart, and this is what you show me? Whatever, since this task came as a side benefit of training Deirdre, let¡¯s just complete it while attacking the Abyss Blood Pool because at least there¡¯s experience to be gained. But never mind the Abyss Blood Pool, things are difficult right now; what¡¯s the next step? Let¡¯s take a look at how Deirdre is settling into her studies first. Now Da Fei climbed to the top of the main magic tower, peering through binoculars to spy on the scene in the watchtower while hanging by a thread. The other apprentices were all busy, but Deirdre was the only one reading a book that looked like ¡°Magic Primer ABC¡± or something. Damn, it¡¯s not even a skill book; is it some kindergarten primer? Speaking of which, what¡¯s the biggest difference between heroes and units? It¡¯s that heroes have magic and knowledge attributes, while units don¡¯t! Even though units have mana, mana doesn¡¯t equal knowledge, a vast gap in understanding exists, yet even with this gap, units with mana are a hero¡¯s close approximation. So, if Deirdre could study and successfully gain 1 point of knowledge, does that mean she¡¯ll step into the hero¡¯s threshold? Let¡¯s hope so. Upon seeing Deirdre settle into her studies well, Da Fei felt relieved. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Now, what to do next? With this elusive teacher around, trying to sneak in and save the Flower Demons has almost become impossible. Damn, let¡¯s shift gears, I¡¯ll sabotage the workshop! Doing nothing is still doing something. Based on the earlier conversation between Siriel and the Hell Baron hero, it seems like the two might be at odds due to some power struggle. Siriel seems poised to take charge of the Magic Watchtower¡¯s defenses. Well, this job sounds perfect; if something goes wrong, he¡¯ll be the first to take the fall, perfect scapegoat material! Alright, since you¡¯re my kid¡¯s teacher, I¡¯ll spare you; I¡¯ll sabotage the Hell Baron. Once he is toppled, you¡¯ll rise to power, and my Deirdre will rise too, something like that, right? Da Fei got excited and set his sights on the largest, most bustlingly advanced workshop in the Lava Pool that resembled an oil rig! Yes, this is what stirs up a player¡¯s urge to destroy, it¡¯s you! (Today¡¯s first update) Chapter 111 - Chapter 111 Chapter 108 Destruction Under the Eyelids Chapter 111: Chapter 108: Destruction Under the Eyelids Chapter 111: Chapter 108: Destruction Under the Eyelids West Coast of the United States, Los Angeles, Hell Desire Bar in an underground garage, where music and dancing blend in a haze of lights¨Cthis is the location of the U.S. Supernova Team¡¯s Hell Squad division. SawSaw Peterson was completely unaffected by his surroundings; his pale face was intently fixated on a laptop connected to an external device. Next to him, Team Captain Howell popped open another beer, laughed heartily, and patted the curly-haired, gaunt-shouldered man: ¡°Kid, don¡¯t be so tense, the battle¡¯s not starting anytime soon.¡± Peterson shook his head: ¡°No, Captain, according to external calculations, the war will begin in less than 20 minutes.¡± Howell was taken aback: ¡°Didn¡¯t they say two hours just a while ago? It¡¯s only been half an hour, right?¡± Peterson said in a grave tone: ¡°The opponent has advanced their mission progress again!¡± A clear sparkle flashed in Howell¡¯s bleary, drunken eyes: ¡°You mean, this Chinese guy has completed another sub-quest in just the past half-hour!¡± Peterson nodded: ¡°Yes, for such a large-scale Epic Quest, the rewards for completing each task are unimaginable. Perhaps, I can even guess who this Chinese person is.¡± ¡°Who?¡± ¡°DaFei, Dafei? How the name is pronounced doesn¡¯t matter; what¡¯s key is that he has risen three levels in a few short hours. With every level up, the progress jumps significantly. His current level is now ranked 649th in the world, his combat power must be astonishing.¡± Howell took a sip of beer with a solemn look: ¡°I know this person, he¡¯s quite famous in the China Region, possesses a huge old warship, and a few days ago deceived many merchants in front of the Chinese media. A real swindler.¡± Peterson gave a cold smile: ¡°Only politicians and liars possess power and wealth, right?¡± Howell laughed: ¡°If it really is him, the Japanese will probably suffer greatly. The resources current players have are hardly enough to contest such a future warship.¡± Peterson showed a photo of a moss-overgrown ship on his laptop to the captain: ¡°This Chinese person has received help from NPCs that exceeded the system¡¯s limits, his resources are very powerful.¡± Howell chuckled: ¡°The art of kickback negotiations that the Chinese are best at?¡± Peterson solemnly responded: ¡°Such massive initial resources will snowball his power. His strength is already threatening us, we can no longer indulge this Chinese player. We must behead him at the first opportunity! It¡¯s like how we bomb the terrorists with drones, of course, I¡¯m talking about in the game.¡± Howell guffawed heartily: ¡°Exactly, the might of Great America is unchallengeable, the order set by Great America cannot be defied. We don¡¯t care whether the other side wants to challenge us, we only care if they have the strength to. As long as they¡¯re capable of posing a threat, they are our hypothetical enemy, and we must strike first to contain and suppress them! Of course, I too am speaking about in the game!¡± He then patted Peterson on the shoulder: ¡°The Japanese are unreliable, this arduous task can only be entrusted to you! Your mission is to stop him from completing his, to destroy his warship! And if you can plunder it, all the better!¡± Curly-haired Peterson stood up abruptly, raised his hand, and delivered an unorthodox military salute, ¡°Yes, Si-FuckeR!!!¡± ¡­ At this moment, Da Fei descended from the sky, successfully infiltrating the largest drilling factory right in the middle of the lava pool. The factory had the grandeur of a fortress. Compared to the heavily guarded 6th level Hell Race Abyss Lords around the entrance of the factory, entering from above posed almost no difficulty. Like the top of the Magic Watchtower, the enemy had never considered the possibility of an aerial invasion. Obviously, the mission of the factory was to drill for lava from beneath the earth. The scorching hot lava extracted was distributed to smaller factories around through a network of pipes. For the flaming Demons, lava is sacred and noble; the hotter and purer the lava, the more it can give birth to powerful, high-ranking Demons. The Demons would never throw the bones of their enemies into the lava to incinerate. They would not allow the petty souls of inferior beings to contaminate the noble lava. And, of course, lava¡¯s use was not limited to the production of Demons; it could also be used for forging, as the dwarves do. Therefore, this factory looked a bit like a steel mill. The technology of the Hell Race was indeed advanced¨Cno comparison to the small blacksmith shops of the Human Race. But the more advanced it was, the more it stimulated the destructive desires of the players. Where to begin the destruction? Infiltration and sabotage is a highly imaginative job, definitely not some lowbrow fun like using a rubber band slingshot to break glass. I¡¯m aiming for something big, preferably with an explosive effect. That¡¯s right, blowing this place sky-high would be ideal, and such things usually happen on the front lines of production. Officials don¡¯t like to go to such places, those who do are of low status, with low awareness and generally not very capable, making them easy targets. Da Fei, sticking close to the ceiling, stealthily made his way into the largest workshop. The workshop glowed red, wide open and scorching hot, with waves of heat causing the vision to warp and blur. The bubbling noise of the boiling lava resonated throughout the space, drowning out conversations. Good, both vision and sound are conducive to stealth operations. Da Fei began to survey his surroundings. Throughout the workshop, there were massive circular lava pools. The red-black lava extracted by drilling machines poured into the first pool, steaming and hissing throughout the room. Then, the lava from the first pool was agitated by massive machinery before entering the second, then the third, and by the last pool, the color of the lava had turned a pure golden yellow. This refined golden lava then flowed through pipelines towards other factories. Then, hundreds to thousands of Demon Infants were seen pushing carts filled with soil spewing black smoke from the bottom of each pool. This must be the corrupt soil mentioned by the Flower Demon Instructor, extracted from lava and capable of causing great harm to the World Tree. So that¡¯s how it is! Even though it¡¯s just a game, the grandeur and division of labor in the Hell Factory are truly breathtaking. There¡¯s only one convenient spot to strike! Da Fei¡¯s gaze fixed on the pipeline valve behind the final golden lava pool. It was the key to supplying lava to the other factories. What would happen if he blocked it off or smashed the pipeline? Then all the lava in the pools would overflow, and the entire workshop would collapse under the lava! That¡¯s the big move. And at such a critical spot, there was a guard! The distorted vision in the workshop made it hard to see clearly, but judging by the imposing stance of the one clad in Blood Armor, wielding a flaming whip and overlooking the place, he was either a hero or a boss! If not the boss, then at least a foreman! Damn it! Isn¡¯t this a bit much, such a hot front line isn¡¯t a place for big shots like you! It seems there¡¯s no play to be made. Even with two Charming Emperors under my command, they¡¯re only at the level of grade 6 soldiers, good for taking down minor monsters, but definitely no match against an unknown strength boss. Moreover, who knows how many reinforcements would come if a fight broke out here. Da Fei sighed inwardly, it seemed he might just have to resort to window smashing. Reconnaissance Skill was still just that, although tricky, it was not enough for the big stage. Only true power reigns supreme. Looking at the boss standing proudly on the platform above the pool, Da Fei felt a surge of frustration. Wait a second! Seeing an enemy standing at the edge of a fire pit, wouldn¡¯t anyone feel a strong urge to push them in? And right now, he was standing on the platform above the golden lava pool! Da Fei indeed felt a strong impulse to stealthily approach and push him into the pot! But the problem was, after all, this is a game! To push someone, you need a knockback attribute. Knockback? Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Didn¡¯t the Crossbow Cannon come with a knockback effect? I sent the Phantom Crossbow Cannon to my sweetheart, but the one that was with me from the beginning on the ship, the one with just 8 hit points left, has always been in my bag. I¡¯ve been too busy looking for Makar or kidnapping people from the Monastery and forgot to fix it. Mayor Auseliman said he was going to give me more than ten, I completely forgot about the old buddy! Should I try it? Even if I fail, it doesn¡¯t matter, the old cannon with 8 hit points should be retired, I won¡¯t be heartbroken. I just directly blast his rear with a Triple Crossbow, and if one of the three shots manages a knockback, that would be a cause for celebration! Although Demons are said to be born from lava, once they reach adulthood and their bodies materialize, falling into lava isn¡¯t exactly a bath, especially at thousands of degrees Celsius. But still, isn¡¯t assembling a Crossbow Cannon in front of an enemy a bit too arrogant? Cut the crap! I¡¯d rather be doing this than being idle, and it¡¯s certainly better than smashing windows. I¡¯ll combine Phantom March with Stealth, plus the heat waves here distort vision and the boiling lava covers the noise. I just need to find an inconspicuous corner¨CDa Fei spotted a pile of junk in the corner behind the boss! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only If I tinker with the Crossbow Cannon in this pile of junk, even if someone sees a few extra things, it wouldn¡¯t stand out or be obtrusive, right? This is what you call hiding in plain sight! The only problem is that it¡¯s too close to the boss! I could even smell his farts! Let¡¯s try it! I¡¯ll carefully place my Charming Emperors in hiding, and then Spiderman quietly descends into the pile of junk behind the boss. Let¡¯s get to work! ¨CSystem Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A powerful enemy is nearby, and you have entered its alert range! Da Fei¡¯s heart tensed up, yet he was also incredibly excited. This feeling was just like the time when he had to assemble the Crossbow Cannon while carrying the Artillery Commander zombie on the sunken ship, both thrilling and nerve-wracking! Keep going! (On October 1st at 0:00, this book will be released, and I hope my readers will support it generously.) Chapter 112 - Chapter 112 Chapter 109 The National War Begins (Requesting Chapter 112: Chapter 109: The National War Begins (Requesting Monthly Passes and Initial Subscriptions) Chapter 112: Chapter 109: The National War Begins (Requesting Monthly Passes and Initial Subscriptions) ¡ª-System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A powerful enemy is nearby, you have entered the opponent¡¯s alert range! At this moment, Da Fei¡¯s map flashed red, and the system prompt kept scrolling. Da Fei¡¯s heart pounded with nervous sweat on his palms. This feeling of assembling the crossbow cannon right under the enemy¡¯s nose was indescribably thrilling! Two minutes passed, and the BOSS stretched lazily! Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Four minutes passed, and the BOSS suddenly turned its head! Da Fei¡¯s hair stood on end with fright! Five minutes, the BOSS suddenly looked back! A red alert sound effect exploded on Da Fei¡¯s map! At that moment, a chill swept through Da Fei¡¯s body. He felt as if he and the BOSS were facing each other from all sides, and he stopped breathing! Crash!! With a loud noise, another barrel of newly emerged lava was poured into the pool, and the entire workshop was again shrouded in steam. In the mist, the BOSS turned its head. Da Fei was drenched in cold sweat! Damn, bro was almost scared to death! Eight minutes passed, the BOSS looked around, you can¡¯t see, you can¡¯t see, the so-called darkness under the lamp, you just can¡¯t see! Da Fei was stunned like a wooden chicken, heart like still water. Ten minutes! ¡ª-System Prompt: The crossbow cannon assembly is complete! Da Fei finally let out a long breath held in his chest! Success, it really was a success! Surviving ten minutes in front of the BOSS, the assembly was completed! These long and torturous ten minutes! This is the victory of bro¡¯s God-level skill! This is the victory of bro¡¯s state of mind and cultivation! This is the victory of bro¡¯s daring! Bro succeeding is simply meant to be! Da Fei suppressed his ecstatic heart, one shot, two shots, three shots, loaded! Aim! Just one of three shots causing a knockback effect, and the moment of witnessing a miracle will arrive! Ready! Wait! Suddenly, Da Fei noticed his Luck Value changing! That¡¯s right, it¡¯s the effect of the Misfortune Hourglass! So when the BOSS gave that soul-catching glance just now, the treasure was already beginning to take effect as a battle started? I see, hold steady! Hold steady! Ten minutes have passed, so why care about this moment? When bro¡¯s luck reaches its peak, then bro will fire! Time passed by the minute and second, Da Fei stared at his Luck Value, trembling with excitement! Bro¡¯s primary skill inherently gives 1 point of luck, the hourglass can boost bro¡¯s luck to +10, that¡¯s 11 points of luck, which is a 22% chance of double attack maximum damage, and bro¡¯s Triple Crossbow, a 22% chance, don¡¯t think it¡¯s too high! At this moment, ¡ª-System Prompt: Your enemy has had its back to you for a long time, your ¡°Intelligence Analysis Skill¡± has discovered the enemy¡¯s weakness, now your attack will ignore 25%-50% of the enemy¡¯s defense. Huh? That works too! Wahahahaha! What a double delight! Double attack + ignore defense + knockback + close-range shooting! Bro has never played with a crossbow so smoothly, all of bro¡¯s egg-crushing in these ten minutes was worth it, wahahaha! +9! Da Fei¡¯s Luck Value was increased by one point by the hourglass. And at this moment, another large bucket of lava was suddenly poured down from the drilling rig in the workshop, causing a loud rumble and steam once again! Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched! No more waiting, the chaos is at its peak, if not now, then when! Fire! Da Fei decisively stomped on the trigger! A rainbow light shot up! Da Fei excitedly clenched his fists! Bang! The first shot fired with force, the huge roar in the workshop couldn¡¯t cover such a close-range firing sound, but the BOSS only had time to turn its head slightly! -1153! Hit the back right in the center, the BOSS spat out a mouthful of old blood! Bang! The second shot followed closely! -541! The BOSS cried out in misery and was blasted into the air! A knockback inflicted! Da Fei excitedly stood up! At the same time, extremely grateful that his timing was correct, his scream was covered by the rumble of the machinery. Bang! The third shot! With a clanging sound, the crossbow cannon collapsed with only 8 points of health left, and the cannon shot hit the flying BOSS again, the BOSS screamed again, -512! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your crossbow cannon is damaged, you have recovered 8 pieces of fine gold wear-resistant screw cap, 13 fine gold wear-resistant threaded nails, and 2 fine gold wear-resistant steel pins. Parts recovered? But it¡¯s not the time to worry about this, just listen to a splash, the BOSS fell into the golden lava pool! -181! A large burn damage sprung out! The BOSS sank to the bottom! It wasn¡¯t dead yet! How much health does this BOSS have! What a cruel world outside the barrier! Each BOSS level has several thousand health. Finish it off when it¡¯s down! Letting it climb up, call for help, and sound an alarm would be disastrous! The hidden Charming Emperor leaped in from the darkness and got in place. Da Fei quickly calculated the Charming Emperor¡¯s damage, bro¡¯s 19 attack boost added to Charming Emperor¡¯s 23 attack, ignoring part of the opponent¡¯s defense brings it to about 40. Enhancing Charming Emperor¡¯s average damage by 20 to 200% brings it to 60. In addition, bro¡¯s Master Level Archery enhancement by 50% brings it to about 90 damage. Two people working together to finish off when it¡¯s down should be impressive! -171! -167! -173! Burn damage kept popping up from the lava pool, the BOSS struggled to swim up from the bottom. Truly worthy of a demon, if it were any other creature falling into this pool, it would probably vaporize on the spot, right? The lava stirred, the head peeked out, shoot! Two fire serpents shot out with a bang, ¡°-101!¡± ¡°-74!¡± Ah! A scream! At the same time, two familiar white lights descended from the sky and cloaked the two Charming Emperors once more! Haha! Wahahaha! This definitely means heart-guts have grown significantly again! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have defeated the leader creature ¡°Observer Bazel,¡± gaining 250,000 Experience! You have obtained a B-level strategic treasure ¡°Supervisor Whip¡±! You have obtained 5000 Gold Coins. ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! After a fierce battle, your Charming Emperor¡¯s army has grown! Da Fei laughed heartily to the sky! What a perfect finishing blow! If it was a bit late, it could have swum up and gotten scalded to death by lava, and this reward might not have been bro¡¯s! Better take the chance to shut off the valve while all these steam clouds are concealing it, when else to do it! Da Fei quickly dashed to the huge valve like a wheel that the BOSS was guarding and excitedly twisted it once¨Csizzle! -8! A puff of roasted meat-like smoke rose! Damn it! Don¡¯t play like this! The two Charming Emperors saw this and hurried over to help. Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°Hey, hey, it¡¯s hot!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, master!¡± The two worked together, turning it, circle after circle, lightly and easily. Da Fei was pleasantly surprised, they can speak, they can proactively help, this intelligence, this seemingly bigger and rounder behind, has grown not just a little! Da Fei quickly checked their attributes: ¡ª-Growing Leader Charming Emperor: Small-sized leader demon creature, attack 29, defense 17, damage 21-31, life 210, attack speed 11, Command Value 14, fire resistance 75%, magic resistance 50%, special skill: Chain Shooting, Flying Creature, Scout, War Plunder, Agile Evasion, Charming Technique. Leader Charming Emperor! Da Fei was moved to tears, became a leader! Finally became a leader! Bro¡¯s little baby became a big baby and can even help on its own! Good, just too good! Not in vain that bro over-leveled so many advanced heroes and advanced BOSSes! With a clinking sound, the valve closed, and the lava level in the pool began to rise rapidly. Da Fei chuckled sinisterly, when they find out later, they will surely come to rescue, right? Then bro will guard the skylight here, if encountering the weak, just kill; if encountering the strong, it depends on the situation, anyway, this position can advance or retreat. The valve was closed, and the workers were completely unaware, instead, some workers began procrastinating and sleeping since the supervisor wasn¡¯t around. Come on, aren¡¯t you even going to ask where the supervisor went? Isn¡¯t he drowned in the toilet? How unpopular is this supervisor after all? Da Fei nearly laughed himself to tears. Since there¡¯s some free time now, let¡¯s look at the spoils of war. ¡ª-Supervisor Whip: B-level strategic treasure, support equipment position. Command Power +100. Da Fei laughed heartily! Support equipment slot, so this whip isn¡¯t a weapon, but a symbol of authority, something at the same level as bro¡¯s intern lieutenant, truly worthy of B-level! Wahahaha! Bro truly gets what bro lacks. ¡ª-Fine Gold Wear-resistant Screw Cap: Machines used for a long time often have some smooth and tight, excellently performing parts, their effect exceeds new parts. What¡¯s this? The legendary old gun handy? These are crossbow cannon parts of the parts, players can only buy crossbow cannon parts, not the parts of the parts! Generally, when a crossbow cannon is destroyed, it¡¯s just destroyed, where¡¯s the talk of recovery? Suddenly confused, crash!!! Another large bucket of lava was poured down from the drilling machine, and with this pour, all the pools overflowed! Crash crash crash! Scalding lava cascaded down, the whole venue boiled! The sound of screams and rumbling echoed throughout, the entire workshop was shrouded in smoke! Oh yeah! A major move! Bro really is more a cause of failure than success! Da Fei could no longer hold back and burst out laughing!

Chapter 113 - Chapter 113 Chapter 110 Star Guild in Action Chapter 113: Chapter 110 Star Guild in Action Chapter 113: Chapter 110 Star Guild in Action All Hell Race players registered at the Demon King Hall for battle and had been on standby for a long time received a series of System Prompt notifications. ¡ª-System Prompt: The campaign national war mission ¡°Attack the Pool of Radiance¡± officially begins! Please stop any ongoing mission or battle within 3 minutes; you will be teleported to Baoyan City in the China Region after 3 minutes. At the same time, all Elf Clan players from the China Region with over 10,000 points of merit also received a message. ¡ª-System Prompt: The campaign national war mission ¡°Defend the Pool of Radiance¡± officially begins! Players below level 30 should sign up at the military officer stationed in front of the City Hall in each Main City and be on standby. For a moment, the entire China Region was abuzz! Who could have expected the battleground to be in the China Region? What¡¯s more unbearable for the Elf players was that the Hell Race had already been preparing for a day or two, and were already attacking while our side was still on standby after registration! Isn¡¯t that unfair? Star Guild, China¡¯s largest professional player Guild, although not acknowledged by the Dragon Slayer Guild. The Guild primarily focuses on the Elf Clan, and this sudden national war had the entire Guild shocked! Guild President Eternal Star, Guild Combat Commander Old Jiang, and Guild Spokesperson, known as the number one beauty professional player in the China Region, Bu Feiyan, were the first to teleport to Farolan City, the capital of the Kingdom, to take on the mission. They were also seeking more information from high-level NPCs. In fact, even though they were high-end players during public testing, their understanding of the Pool of Radiance was also limited. No one had uncovered missions there during public testing. At this time, the palace registration site was packed with people. Seeing so many players eagerly signing up, Eternal Star couldn¡¯t help but smile, thinking of them as the Guild¡¯s manpower resources. However, having you all standing in front, blocking the great Guild President from signing up, isn¡¯t nice at all. Eternal Star then sent a message to the people below: ¡°Get moving!¡± ¡°Received.¡± Soon, within the mountain of people signing up, a few players suddenly turned back and exclaimed: ¡°Look! The President of the Star Guild! And the top beauty Bu Feiyan!¡± Then immediately, about a dozen people turned back, shouting in unison: ¡°It¡¯s Eternal Star! Oh my god, everyone come and worship the great deity!¡± Then dozens of people rushed forward to surround the trio: ¡°It really is President Eternal Star! Truly a deity! President Eternal Star has appeared!¡± ¡°Bu Feiyan! A signature, please, and a whipping!¡± Suddenly, all players were looking at the three people in the crowd! Eternal Star, smiling, waved to the players around: ¡°This, I¡¯m sorry, but time is precious, everyone please hurry up and register. Now our Elf Clan in the China Region will face players from the Hell Race worldwide, and the pressure is very high and time is short!¡± ¡°President! Lead us to resist the invasion by the Hell Race!¡± ¡°Yes, yes! President, our China Region is counting on you!¡± Eternal Star chuckled and said: ¡°It¡¯s my duty, my unavoidable duty! But it also requires everyone¡¯s collective effort!¡± A loud voice shouted: ¡°Everyone, don¡¯t make noise, don¡¯t fuss, President Eternal Star is very busy, he has to resist tasks from the Multi-National Forces, they are very important, let the President take on the mission first!¡± ¡°Yes, leader first!¡± ¡°Make way, make way!¡± At once, many ¡°ordinary players¡± spontaneously began to disperse the crowd, quickly clearing a grand avenue. Eternal Star shook his head, a reluctant smile on his face: ¡°I¡¯m really sorry for bothering everyone, then I won¡¯t be pretentious. The enemy forces are strong; we all must unite and fight together!¡± ¡°Listen to the President!¡± ¡°President, I want to join your Guild!¡± ¡°President, I want to play basketball!¡± ¡°President, I want to play football!¡± ¡°Bu Feiyan, you are the destiny of my life!¡± ¡­¡­ At this moment, at the edge of the crowd, two level 17 players stood on their tiptoes looking at the three people being admired by everyone around. That Ranger called Invincible Wei exclaimed: ¡°What does this Guild President do? Why do so many people know him?¡± Invincible Soldier scoffed: ¡°Ignorant, the number one Guild President of the three major Guilds in China! A major figure in the game who commands storms, with several hundred thousand Guild members and a thousand professional players under him, codenamed Star Annihilation Team, aiming to be a professional team that overturns the whole world.¡± Invincible Wei exclaimed in shock: ¡°A group turning the whole world upside down?¡± Invincible Soldier scoffed: ¡°What do you think? Do you understand international dynamics? Our Great Heavenly Dynasty has no allies in the world, so our situation in the game is also very delicate. If it weren¡¯t for our large population, we would have been wiped out by the great powers long ago. Enough with the questions, hurry up and complete the previous mission. The teleportation cost for two people is 340 Gold Coins, we¡¯re broke. This time, I applied for the highest difficulty level for the mission, we can only succeed, not fail! If we succeed, we can become officials, reward the soldiers, and participate in the National War. If we fail, you and I might as well go pick up trash!¡± Invincible Wei seriously asked: ¡°Then, can we join their Guild?¡± Invincible Soldier snorted disdainfully: ¡°No future in that! Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix! It¡¯s more comfortable for us brothers to work independently. You know, we should gather everyone from our school who plays games to form the ¡®Shendong Normal University Heroes Team¡¯, I¡¯ll be the President, and you¡¯ll be the Vice President. We¡¯ll make a name for ourselves, and then after the New Year, recruit all the beauties from various departments in the school to be our image ambassadors¨CDid you see that beautiful girl named Bu Feiyan just now? She¡¯s the image ambassador. By then, sponsors will be rolling in, unable to block the money coming our way! In my opinion, that Ding Jiali of yours is not bad either, no worse than Bu Feiyan¨C¡± Invincible Wei¡¯s face changed: ¡°Brothers will be brothers!¡± Invincible Soldier waved his hand: ¡°Okay, okay! Dude, I meant her roommate is pretty good, a beauty named Shen Fang, who skips classes to play games all day. We have to pursue her, this task is up to you!¡± Invincible Wei was baffled: ¡°Who is Shen Fang?¡± Invincible Soldier sighed with a helpless look: ¡°Can¡¯t see the forest for the trees, you just hang yourself on one tree! Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s complete the mission!¡± ¡­ In the Royal Palace of the Elf Kingdom, at the strategic planning department. As top-tier players of the Star Guild, and exceptionally skilled players from the public launch, this place unreachable for ordinary players is, in fact, a frequent place visited by the trio known as Eternal Star. To be exact, it was just two days ago that they gathered the entire guild¡¯s efforts to donate a massive amount of resources to the kingdom that earned them the entry here. Taking the high-end path has always been the unspoken rule for high-end players, sparing no expense in investing heavily. At that moment, in front of a large magic map table, several Great Druids were anxiously observing the situation. That sandbox maps out the heavily rooted terrain of the Pool of Radiance. Eternal Star bowed to a Druid Chief of Staff named Mapharion and asked: ¡°Great Elder, the Hell Race is at our gates, why are our forces still on standby?¡± The Chief of Staff shook his head: ¡°Our space teleportation technology isn¡¯t as proficient as the Demons¡¯, we can¡¯t follow the Demons¡¯ pace, we must wait for the right moment.¡± Eternal Star was surprised: ¡°Do we have strong reinforcements coming?¡± The Chief of Staff stared silently at the sandbox, seemingly talking to himself: ¡°The Hell Race¡¯s attack on the Pool of Radiance isn¡¯t new. But launching a full-scale attack like now is both unexpected and reasonable.¡± The trio looked at each other in confusion, not understanding. At that moment, there was a burst of exclamations from the Druids around the sandbox. One Druid moved a red building from the edge of the sandbox and joyfully reported: ¡°Great Elder, the drilling sounds from underground have stopped, our hero has destroyed the main Lava Rock Factory at the Demon Camp! All the enemy¡¯s smaller factories have also temporarily ceased operations.¡± The Chief of Staff burst into laughter: ¡°Excellent! Truly worthy of being the Super Hero we selected!¡± The Druids all applauded! The trio were even more perplexed. Bu Feiyan stepped forward to ask: ¡°Great Elder, what is a Super Hero?¡± The Chief of Staff laughed heartily: ¡°That¡¯s a military secret! Can¡¯t tell for now. In any case, his appearance has caused a strong reaction from the Demons, forcing them to mobilize a significant amount of resources for a large-scale assembly. This allows us to achieve a strategy of fighting from a position of strength, avoiding weaknesses to exhaust the enemy. Now, we just wait, wait for our Super Hero to successfully restore the World Tree at the Pool of Radiance, and establish a base. Then our army can use the power of the World Tree to teleport to the base, and then completely annihilate the approaching Demons!¡± Applause erupted once again. The trio were shocked, how do the NPCs have so much faith that this Super Hero can establish a base? What if it fails? Old Jiang bitterly smiled: ¡°I might have guessed who this Super Hero is.¡± Eternal Star shook his head and chuckled: ¡°It¡¯s just a pawn used by us after all! I should have a good talk with the Dragon Slayer side, I want to see how Little Ma decides to take sides.¡± Old Jiang laughed: ¡°Boss Ma must be very torn, right?¡± Eternal Star smiled coldly: ¡°It¡¯s one thing for us not to know in advance, but if you tell me he had no idea either, I wouldn¡¯t believe it for a second! He must have thought of a way out already, other than cooperating with us obediently, he has no other way out. Challenges are also opportunities, we can use this National War as a chance for our Guild to flex its muscles, showcase our skills, and push the image of our Guild worldwide, making Star become the undisputed Number One Guild in China!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡­ In the Demon Camp, sharp alarm sounds echoed through the Underworld. Countless Demon Infants and stationed troops frantically fled the scene of the accident. The entire factory was engulfed in flames and dense smoke, with a massive overflow of lava engulfing_MD_FL everything in its path. The lava flowed down towards the coast, hissing!!! Massive steam filled the entire Underground Space. The giant paddle ships docked at the coast fused together with the water-hardened lava, making them unusable. Da Fei hung high above the ceiling, laughing manically! He thought by closing the valve, the opponent would definitely come to rescue. Who knew that the lava was docile and obedient in the pool, but once out of the pool, it turned into a ferocious fiery beast, melting iron upon contact with iron, and stone upon contact with stone. In an instant, it burned a large hole in the ground beneath the pool, causing the entire pool to collapse askew, and all the lava from the pool spilled out! Once this chain reaction started, it was beyond saving even by divine means! ([Seeking monthly pass, seeking first subscription])(To be continued.

The city has a huge square shimmering with demon light, which is the Hell Race¡¯s signature building, the Gate of Hell. It¡¯s the only facility among all races capable of mass army space teleportation. The more troops teleported, the more Mana is consumed. Hence, the level 0 soldier of the Hell Race, the Demon Infant, has the duty of collecting Mana. The special skill of the Demon Infant is to gather the omnipresent Mana in space and then pay it monthly. It¡¯s the same concept as the Human Race¡¯s level 0 Soldier Farmer paying 1 Gold Coin in tax every month. This shows the importance of Mana for the Hell Race. Amid the sparkling demon light, players from various countries of the Hell Race kept arriving through teleportation. Each player¡¯s name was clearly displayed with their country¡¯s flag icon. At this time, a large number of China Region¡¯s Hell Race players with the Five-star Red Flag above their heads gathered around to watch the foreigners. In fact, for some ordinary players, there wasn¡¯t any immediate thought of a Multi-National Joint Army invading China; on the contrary, they were singing ¡°Beijing Welcomes You¡± and went up to chat up the foreign babes. Right then, a blonde beauty from Portugal named Christina became the focus of the China Region players and even more so the focus of other foreign bigwigs. There were those who offered kisses, shouted ¡°I LOVE YOU,¡± got down on one knee to profess love¨Call kinds of openness, an outpouring of enthusiasm. ¡ª-¡°Hello everyone! I am the scene reporter from Hero News, Witch No. 7, and now the National War has begun, and a large number of foreign players have come to the China Region. It seems that the foreign players are also surprised by inter-regional travel and are exchanging warm greetings with our players from the China Region. Now let¡¯s interview a player from Austria!¡± ¡ª-¡°Hello! Nice to meet you! Welcome to China! Hello, welcome to the China Region. May I ask sir, how are you feeling right now?¡± The foreign player excitedly hugged the female reporter and showered her with kisses! A group of foreign players crowded in front of the camera, all making V-shaped hand signs! ¡°Yes! Good! So cool, Wahaaaaa!¡± ¡ª-¡°Haha! As everyone can see, the foreign players are extremely enthusiastic! ¡®Heroes Creation of the World¡¯ as a world-class online game, its greatest charm is being able to interact with players from all over the world. Now, here comes a player from Canada, let¡¯s interview him! Sir, hello! Welcome to China!¡± ¡°Oh! Hello hello! I came to China because I heard there is a lot of Gold Coins. I have some good equipment I¡¯d like to sell for a good price. Miss, can you help me advertise it?¡± ¡°Haha! Then let¡¯s see what equipment the sir has, shall we?¡± ¡°Thank you, beautiful miss. I will reveal my equipment right now!¡± ¡ª-Lionheart Necklace: A-level strategic treasure, troops¡¯ Morale +3, Luck +3. Instantly, there was a commotion all around! ¡°Wow!!! A-level treasure! Sir, how much are you planning to sell it for?¡± ¡°No! No! I only want Gold Coins! Not money! At least 300,000 Gold Coins!¡± ¡°300,000! Although not very expensive relative to the treasure, no player can come up with 300,000 right now!¡± ¡°No! No! It¡¯s precisely because it¡¯s not easy to come up with 300,000 that I¡¯m selling it for this price. I need Gold Coins to build an early advantage! Isn¡¯t it said that the China Region has a lot of Gold Coin factories? This shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?¡± Seeing this, a Chinese player immediately stepped forward and said, ¡°Sir, I have something good here, would you be willing to trade?¡± At once, players from various countries were inspired and started pulling out their treasures, turning Demon Flame City¡¯s plaza into an international marketplace in an instant. ¡ª-¡°Dear viewers, hello! The foreign players received a very warm welcome when they came to China. The Chinese players have shown their quality and charm to the international community, spreading positive energy to the entire world. This is your frontline reporter, Witch No. 7, broadcasting live.

Yet the Hell Race from Japan Region is recognized as the strongest in the world. What exactly is going on? Tokyo Akihabara, Mitsubishi ABC Software Building. This time there wasn¡¯t a meeting called. All team members were in serious preparation. As soon as the world information prompt indicated that the battlefield was in the China Region, the Mitsubishi Team acutely sensed that something was out of the ordinary! That¡¯s right, there are some serious anti-Japanese sentiments among the populace due to some territorial disputes between the two countries. If the Japanese Region players forcefully land in the China Region, it would be like igniting a powder keg. Chinese players or netizens can be courteous to players from other countries, but they will not extend the same courtesy to Japan. Currently, Mitsubishi Team¡¯s manager, President Igarashi, was urgently consulting with Chairman Matsuyama Naoki. Igarashi spoke seriously, ¡°Chairman, our situation is a bit delicate. That Ma Yinglong from Dragon Slayer Guild is unreliable; he must have hidden information and is planning against us. Perhaps we will be attacked by the two large guilds from the China Region.¡± Matsuyama chuckled, ¡°Mr. Igarashi, if you don¡¯t even have the confidence to confront the players of one country, how will you lead Japan Region to dominate the world?¡± Igarashi, sweating profusely: ¡°President! That¡¯s not what I mean. I¡¯m just worried that a bad start will affect the impressions of the other allied countries!¡± Matsuyama, with a sardonic smile: ¡°Your concern is valid. Bravery does not imply recklessness. We can wait. Once the allies have assessed the situation, we¡¯ll strike like lightning without giving anyone the chance to react! Swift as the wind, silent as a forest, aggressive as fire, and unshakable as a mountain, now we must be as unshakable as a mountain!¡± ¡°Hi!¡± ¡­ Dragon Slayer Network Entertainment Company. Ma Yinglong was watching a news program while talking to Star Guild Chairman Long Xiangtian, also known as Eternal Star. The atmosphere, of course, was as unpleasant as ever. Ma Yinglong, with a cold smile: ¡°Boss Long, are you trying to label me a traitor by saying this? I, Ma, even get attacked for playing an Undead; what capacity do I have to betray the country with just a few peripheral members of the Hell Race? I would advise Boss Long to focus on resistance. Just don¡¯t end up as a national sinner!¡± With a click, Ma Yinglong hung up the phone. Hmph, threaten me? And still expect to compete with me for the title of the number one resistance fighter? Just stand by and wait. By the time you make your move, it¡¯ll be too late. Just then, Ma Yinglong¡¯s phone rang again. It was the Japanese. Damn! All my forces for public mobilization are ready, just waiting for you to ignite the passion for resistance. Every other country has joined, and yet you¡¯re not here, wasting time with phone calls. ¡°Hello? President Igarashi, hello, hello!¡± Igarashi sighed: ¡°Mr. Ma, we are very confused about this situation. We¡¯re just here to play games. We don¡¯t want to mix unrelated real-world factors into the game. I would like to hear Mr. Ma¡¯s opinion.¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled: ¡°I¡¯m just a gamer myself. I completely understand Mr. Igarashi¡¯s feelings. You must understand my embarrassment as well, of course. This has always been the basis of our cooperation. I think the safest choice is for you to withdraw from this National War. Of course, for me, this is also a huge regret. To be honest, I was very much looking forward to using Mr. Igarashi¡¯s power to defeat our arch-enemy in the game.¡± Igarashi chuckled and sighed: ¡°I see I¡¯m in good company with Mr. Ma! Alas, such are the state affairs!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed: ¡°State affairs? Wasn¡¯t it always about China-Japan friendship?¡± Igarashi laughed: ¡°Yes, yes! China-Japan friendship! China-Japan friendship!¡± Ma Yinglong: ¡°That¡¯s the spirit!¡± Igarashi: ¡°We hope to play the game quietly, without the influence of public opinion. Does Mr. Ma have any suggestions?¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled: ¡°Give me a moment to think¡­¡± The two hung up the phone. Igarashi, clenching his teeth: ¡°Cunning Chinese, once we¡¯ve stabilized, our Indian allies will naturally deal with you.¡± Ma Yinglong, smirking: ¡°My lord, let me lead the way, right into the pitfall of Doombringer!¡± ¡­ Demon Flame City. The light of the Teleportation Array flashed again, and a new batch of players appeared, among them were two Americans looking around curiously. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Oh! Shit! Japan?¡± Not a single Japanese person in sight, SawSaw cursed out loud in frustration. Team leader Wolverine laughed heartily: ¡°And they still want to be world leaders? Ridiculous! That¡¯s the Japanese for you! Always judging the situation with a merchant¡¯s mindset, never taking responsibility, always needing a crowd for courage. Even with that, they remain indecisive. They¡¯ll never become a great power!¡± SawSaw laughed: ¡°Let¡¯s show them what a truly great nation¡¯s approach looks like!¡± Without any hesitation, he rushed out of the city and headed to the front lines. The prologue to the National War began amidst a facade of friendliness and harmony, with the decapitation strike marking its official commencement.

Chapter 115 - Chapter 115 Chapter 112 Mrs. Anwen with the Chapter 115: Chapter 112: Mrs. Anwen with the Against-the-Heavens Skill Chapter 115: Chapter 112: Mrs. Anwen with the Against-the-Heavens Skill The chaos caused by the lava overflow was quickly calmed and cooled by the demons who were familiar with it. The cooled lava emitted a brilliant luster like a brocade extending into the sea. The damage caused by the short-lived chaos was immense. At the very least, the drilling factory was completely ruined. Without this factory, other smaller facilities would probably have to halt production for a long time, meaning that the Demon Race would certainly be unable to continue producing warships or the so-called corrupt soil in the short term, greatly easing the pressure on Da Fei. More importantly, the mission to attack the Abyss Blood Pool finally opened. Under normal circumstances, this should have been after completing the purification task, right? But from the task hint, it seemed like the Demon Race also initiated a counter-task. Nothing could be taken for granted. In the end, I was not fighting alone, and this was more reliable. And opening the Abyss Blood Pool mission meant that Mrs. Anwen should make an appearance, right? As long as she could show up, whether the bootleg version of Mysterious Stealth Navigation succeeded or not, her soldiers could make great contributions; there was hope for a breakthrough! So at this time, Da Fei was excitedly crawling back to the boundary and returned to the Flying. Sure enough, Serbia was supporting the black-robed Anwen, enjoying the scenery on the deck. Seeing Da Fei return, she excitedly greeted, ¡°Captain is back!¡± Da Fei descended gracefully from the sky and saluted the elderly lady, ¡°Lady Anwen, are you feeling better?¡± Wow hahaha, finally awake, I had my eyes on those 100 Great Druids you brought! ¨CGreat Druid, Elf level 4 soldier, regular army form. Attack 13, Defense 11, Damage 10-15, Life 50, Attack Speed 11, Move Speed 12, Mana 40, Magic Resistance 75%. Special Skill: Ranged Shooting, Advanced Destruction Skill Lightning Bombardment, High-level Light Magic Vitality Regeneration. This was the legendary God-level Monster Great Druid, whose single Lightning move could dominate the field, a terrifying presence that all players must avoid encountering in the wild. The first cannon kills a player¡¯s fragile range unit; the second cannon damages the player¡¯s infantry; the third cannon ends the battle. Under the advanced destruction spell, the lightning damage was equal to 32 + 15 x Magic Power, consuming 12 Mana. A Storm Druid¡¯s spell damage was 32 points, and 100 Storm Druids casting together dealt 3200 points of damage! Compared to the unparalleled Lightning of the Druid, his other healing spell, Vitality Regeneration, almost had no chance to appear. In summary, the God-level Monster could bombard, heal, and attack from a distance, not gaining such a fearsome reputation without reason! Anwen chuckled, ¡°Thanks for taking care of me; I am temporarily fine. Feeling that my time is short, I am eager to do something. Please give your orders, Captain.¡± Wow hahahah! Finally, I could put you to work, not wasting a hero slot for nothing. However, there was no need to talk about short-lived days; I was, after all, a young man who respected the elderly and cherished the young. Da Fei asked, ¡°Now, the demons are launching a massive attack on the Pool of Radiance. I¡¯m afraid we don¡¯t have the strength to attack the Abyss Blood Pool. Does Lady Anwen have any suggestions?¡± Anwen nodded, ¡°Attack is always the demons¡¯ style. Since we can¡¯t attack outwardly, we should obviously defend locally, clearing the bugs in the Pool of Radiance first to relieve the pressure on the World Tree!¡± Perfectly aligned with my intentions! Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°There are too many bugs in the Pool of Radiance; does Lady Anwen have a way to handle them?¡± Anwen smiled, ¡°Our forces are strong; why fear the little bugs? However, I still hope that the captain will allow these more than 100 Flower Demons to be under my command! We will start clearing from here!¡± Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Good! Such powerful forces, I¡¯ve been waiting for those words, Lady! Then it¡¯s up to you, Lady Anwen!¡± Da Fei immediately allocated 127 Flower Demons to her command. But what did she want Flower Demons for? Her specialty was ¡°Hive Queen,¡± enhancing the effect of swarm disturbance magic with the level, could it mean her specialty also worked on troop spells? Impossible, right, the wording of the specialty seemed different, but if it does, wouldn¡¯t that be too overpowering? However, at this moment, being overpowering was just what we needed! Without being overpowering, I wouldn¡¯t be satisfied. Now, the Flying started heading towards the nearest insect nest. The entire force, over two hundred Jungle Hunters, one hundred Great Druids, over a hundred Flower Demons, along with miscellaneous Charming Emperor Forest Goddess types, were densely arranged on the deck, ready for battle. As for Da Fei, he seized the time to enter the Gun Cabin and reconfigurate a crossbow cannon for himself. The few parts left behind when the old cannon with 8 HP collapsed were very concerning to Da Fei. It seemed in the public test there was no mention of being able to recover a few essence parts when the crossbow cannon got written off. Could this be a sign of advancing to a Master-level Crossbow Cannon? Unlikely, no system prompt. Anyway, on this expedition, the Kingdom-sponsored crossbow parts were enough for Da Fei to reassemble many new crossbow cannons, so no hesitation, continually tormenting the crossbow cannon with Triple Crossbows, observing how many parts could be retrieved each time, maybe recuperating enough parts could produce a brand-new crossbow cannon? The nearest insect nest arrived. Nothing much to say; the warship positioned laterally, all sixteen gun gates opened, fire! Simultaneously, a flash of golden light! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero, Selvia, casted Master Level Light Magic ¡°Righteous Power¡± on the whole army, increasing their attack by 15! The spell¡¯s duration was 1 day. ¨CBoom boom boom boom boom!!! With a shocking trembling boom of the ship, two rows of crossbow arrows whistled out, the massive meat mountain gushed blood like a fountain, bursting out with piercing screams, swarming beetles covered the roots around, swarming towards the Flying! Here it came, Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened. ¨CPrepare! The Jungle Shooter formation raised bows and arrows facing forward! Golden light flashed again! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero, Selvia, casted Master Level Light Magic ¡°Power of Tenacity¡± on the whole army, increasing their defense by 15! The spell¡¯s duration was 1 day. Although Selvia¡¯s Sea Hymn specialty and the ambient Ancient Wind provided bonuses to light magic, the priority of such army-wide large-scale spells manifested in reducing mana consumption. If it affected only one unit, mana consumption couldn¡¯t be reduced any more, so the bonus effect manifested in enhancing attributes, meaning not just increasing by 15 points. Closer! The swarming insects, like dark clouds covering the sky, descended. Last time, Da Fei suffered a huge loss, sacrificing 7 Jungle Shooters, what about this time? Anwen moved first, she raised her left hand, and a hundred Great Druids followed her action, raising their Magic Wands, the array flashing with electricity! Da Fei was startled; what was going on? How could a hero and a troop act simultaneously? The attack speed was fundamentally different, wasn¡¯t it? ¨CBoom!!! A lightning bolt illuminated the dark clouds! Anwen and the Druids acted simultaneously! The sky-filling insect swarm burst with a huge tremor! That¡¯s right, in the Heroic Creation Era, the magic bombardment was on tactical positions, meaning it hit an entire troop, so even though it was a single target spell, the visual effect was still that of an area-of-effect magic. Unlike other games, where magic damage was shared among all troop types, so this sky-covering insect swarm, even if each individual had only 2 points of HP, still got hurt but not killed due to the massive base sharing. And it was at this time, Anwen raised her right hand, all Flower Demons simultaneously raised their hands, buzz!!! The sky-filling swarm descended with a roar, bang bang bang bang! The sky-filling insect swarm turned into a sky-filling blood rain! White blood rain! Massive experience prompts scrolled across the screen! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Selvia leveled up to 24! Life +2, Knowledge +1¡­ In that instant, Da Fei was stunned, jaw dropped! Old lady, why are you so badass! Now, only some larger beetles remained in the sky, presumably the elite beetles. No need to say more, let the Jungle Shooters¡¯ arrow rain serve them. The main situation was settled; the toothless insect nest was essentially a punching bag, another volley of crossbow cannons was fired, and the meat mountain fell with a tragic scream. ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You destroyed the Demon Worm Nest, gaining experience +100,000! Cheers erupted across the ship! With the old lady¡¯s intervention, this second insect nest was as easy as taking something out of a bag! If this were the case, wouldn¡¯t the hundreds of insect nests at the Pool of Radiance fall into our hands? I had been struggling for so long, only to have waited for you to wake up, old lady! Da Fei, shedding tears of excitement, exclaimed, ¡°Lady Anwen, why is your magic so extraordinary?¡± Anwen chuckled, ¡°This was a skill I learned from the orderly rhythms and calls of bees during my retirement beekeeping period, which I named Bee Melody. Later, I found it applicable to other magical creatures, so I renamed it Magic Coordination, allowing me to temporarily allocate 1 point of my magic attribute on a magic troop. A troop can only use it once a day and requires Master-level Meditation Skill to learn!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You gained information on the hidden skill ¡°Magic Coordination.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei was completely shocked! Allocating 1 point of a hero¡¯s magic power to a troop! Holy crap! Seriously overpowering! Although 1 point of magic might seem negligible to a hero, it was extremely terrifying for a troop¡¯s massive numbers! For example, the Druid¡¯s advanced lightning damage = 32 + 15 x Magic Power; The Flower Demon¡¯s introductory swarm disturbance damage = 3 + 8 x Magic Power. Because these units have no magic attribute, their damage were base values, but once they got 1 point of magic allocated, the Druid¡¯s damage would turn to 47, increasing its damage by 50%! And the Flower Demon¡¯s damage, even more exaggerated, would directly double! What did this mean? It meant that in this instant, all the Flower Demons were equivalent to beginner heroes with 1 point of magic attribute skill! A God-level Hero! God-level Skill! Lady Anwen, please accept my kneel!

Chapter 116 - Chapter 116 Chapter 113 Quick Battle Swift Resolution Chapter 116: Chapter 113: Quick Battle, Swift Resolution Chapter 116: Chapter 113: Quick Battle, Swift Resolution Facing Da Fei¡¯s shameless kneeling, Mrs. Anwen shook her head with a slight smile: ¡°Though the Captain is young and promising, the attribute allocation is already fixed, making it difficult to transition into magic. I think¨C¡± While speaking, she lovingly touched Selvia¡¯s golden hair and smiled, ¡°I think this child learning it seems fitting!¡± Da Fei hurriedly got up, excitedly saying, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! It¡¯s for Selvia to learn, indeed. Selvia originally intended to learn the Meditation Skill! She¡¯s still young now, just perfect for studying!¡± Anwen shook her head with a bitter smile: ¡°I used to be a magic tutor at the Farolan Academy. While I¡¯m willing to teach, it also depends on the student¡¯s ability to learn. In short, in my lifetime, I earnestly hope to have a student reach the Master-level skill and learn the spell I¡¯m proud of.¡± Da Fei anxiously said, ¡°Lady Anwen, what are you talking about? You¡¯re in good health, absolutely fine!¡± Anwen chuckled: ¡°Actually, I have a complete set of magic textbooks with me. Are you sure you want her to learn the Meditation Skill?¡± Selvia, delighted, said, ¡°I¡¯m very willing to learn!¡± Ah, indeed! I still carry a skill tutor on board! Da Fei quickly said, ¡°Learn to the full!¡± Selvia is now level 24, having learned Basic Leadership Skill at level up, still with 3 skill points remaining. Anwen took out a golden skill book, waved her hand, and flashes of golden light sparkled continuously. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia used 3 skill points to learn High-level Meditation Skill. ¨CMeditation Skill: Increases hero¡¯s mana recovery speed by 10% per level. As a compulsory main skill in the Mage series, the Meditation Skill itself is unremarkable, but the power lies in its sub-skills. Mysterious Training: Reduces mana cost by 20% when the hero casts spells. Quirky Magic: Randomly reduces mana consumption when the hero casts large-scale magic. Magic Counter: At the cost of double the hero¡¯s mana, prevents the opponent from casting spells. Mysterious Essence: Grants temporary mana equal to 10% of total mana after the hero completes resting each day. Fast Casting: Increases casting speed to attack speed +20% when the hero casts spells. (That is, when attack speed is 10, the casting speed becomes 12.) Anwen smiled and said: ¡°One can achieve Master-level skill standards through hard work, but reaching Master-level requires wisdom and opportunity.¡± ¡°Thank you for the guidance, tutor!¡± Da Fei felt touched. It¡¯s incredibly difficult for players to comprehend Master Skills on their own, and even harder for a Vice Hero to comprehend them. Regardless of whether it¡¯s possible to comprehend it, this skill is a compulsory skill, and it¡¯s extremely important for the Light Sister, who often casts spells for the entire army, consuming huge amounts of mana. Now, the shattered Insect Nest Meat Mountain turned into ashes in the Pool of Radiance, revealing the ruined Flower Demon camp. The Flower Demon Instructor eagerly said: ¡°Captain, let¡¯s go repair the camp!¡± Da Fei nodded: ¡°Go for it!¡± In an instant, hundreds of Flower Demons soared, and with the flashing light, the entire camp came back to life. Initially, the ideal situation was to save all Flower Demons, with each repaired Flower Demon camp housing an instructor, allowing all camps to consistently produce troops. However, now there is only one Flower Demon Instructor, who can only lead the repair team to fix the new camp and abandon the original old camp. But it doesn¡¯t matter. As long as a new camp is repaired, the system will give 20 Flower Demons and a Forest Goddess for free. Additionally, the Ancient Wind blowing from the treetops speeds up the ship¡¯s movement, so clearing the path this way can still accumulate 2000 Flower Demons and 100 Forest Goddesses. Crushing beetles with such a massive army is no longer a problem. This reward must be for building a city! Imagining the endless possibilities of the future, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily. However, speaking of abandoning the old camp made Da Fei think of the Banshee camp on the ship. Damn it, there are no territory inhabitants, and now even the instructor presiding over the summoning is gone, so this camp is a complete waste. For a moment, Da Fei felt extremely uncomfortable. He originally intended to recruit a batch of Banshee troops. Finally, the light faded from the tree roots, and a fresh fragrant breeze blew from the top of the ground. At the same time, golden light flashed in the camp, and a Forest Goddess made a dazzling entrance! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You successfully repaired 1 Flower Demon camp! ¨CSystem Prompt: 1 Forest Goddess has joined your troops. ¨CSystem Prompt: The Flower Demon camp has 20 slots for Flower Demons. Would you like to recruit? Recruit! Hahaha! My team is getting stronger and stronger! Time waits for no one, repair more camps! Da Fei turned his head and asked: ¡°Lady Anwen, are you still able to fight? Do you need to rest and let the troop¡¯s slowly recover their mana?¡± Anwen shook her head: ¡°I feel the urgency of time, no need to rest. The troop only used mana once, no need to rest either. The battlefield situation changes rapidly, and you can¡¯t afford to rest. Even if I can no longer use Magic Coordination today, I have other spells! Besides, Captain, you seem to pursue a bloodless victory too much, which might cause you to miss many battle opportunities.¡± Da Fei was suddenly startled! She was right, wasn¡¯t she? I was indeed overly pursuing a flawless victory, as during the open beta, I watched too many expert videos, and a flawless victory was treated as the benchmark for being an expert! Moreover, my difficult progress made me cherish accomplishments more, but I lost sight of the big picture! Nevertheless, all my soldiers are fragile Flower Demon maidens. Unless sacrificing a pawn to protect the queen, how could I bear to let them suffer battle losses? Da Fei coughed awkwardly: ¡°Lady Anwen is right. I just care for my soldiers as if they were my own children.¡± Anwen said flatly: ¡°As a Commander, you should be more ruthless. Moreover, your equipment¡¯s attributes are decent, and you have such an outstanding subordinate like Selvia, why not go all out!¡± Da Fei was suddenly enlightened! That¡¯s right, now that the old lady is in the game, the situation is different. There¡¯s no need to keep playing small-mindedly and sneakily! Good! Then I¡¯ll give it my all, and if anyone dies, they¡¯ll get resurrected! Moreover, the more battles I fight, the faster my two Charming Emperors will grow and become stronger, thereby being more helpful! Indeed! Who knows how long the normal infant period for Banshees lasts in the game? So, I must make the most of their youth to fight quick battles and end them swiftly. Now that the army is strong and powerful, it¡¯s an excellent opportunity to gain experience! Da Fei made up his mind and waved his hand determinedly: ¡°Target, the next one!¡± Outside Demon Flame City, on the Scorching Desert. Several dozen smoky and dusty troops were advancing in strides. They were Lei Huolong and other members from the Dragon Slayer Guild rushing to the front lines as soon as the National War starting gun fired. Under normal circumstances, players cannot reach places like the Pool of Radiance directly, only arriving when quests or battlefield scenes are available. Compared to the hundreds or thousands of Undead Race professional players in the Dragon Slayer Guild, these mere dozens were the core Hell Race forces the guild could muster. Yet even at the core, except for Lei Huolong, none knew the specifics before receiving the system message a second earlier. In reality, Lei Huolong didn¡¯t know much more than others. He only realized that being the National War task person, he had to be the first to reach the front line and report to the NPC to steer the situation, considering the Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s Hell Power was extremely weak on the player level. While the party was joking and chatting in the team channel, a figure appeared swiftly behind them. In an abrupt surprise within the team channel: ¡°Who¡¯s that?¡± Lei Huolong hastily took out his binoculars and looked back. An American player with a Star Stripes atop his head, the name was easy to remember, SawSaw, an expert from the American Zone? Wait, he¡¯s streaking, bringing not a single soldier! How can he fight a National War like that? He must be a scouting player from the American Zone, right? But even as a scouting player, his marching speed was extraordinarily fast! It was like a rabbit chasing a tortoise! Even a God-level Logistics Skill couldn¡¯t achieve such an effect! At that moment, the American player in the binoculars gestured towards Lei Huolong! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lei Huolong was shocked! He saw me using binoculars to watch him? He must have learned the Reconnaissance Skill! Such a character could not have been created by an ordinary player, right? Lei Huolong felt a sinking gut. Everyone knew this game was powered by core technology provided by Americans, and American players inherently had slightly more advantages. Given the relationship between the American and Japanese zones, needless to say, this battle was going to be hard. In the end, the only choice was to rely on the masses, to mobilize them. While pondering, suddenly, the American player in Lei Huolong¡¯s binoculars vanished! Lei Huolong was shocked! What¡¯s this? Stealth? Impossible, how could one stealth so completely in plain sight, and it¡¯s not some legend of the Gourd Brothers¡¯ Invisibility Technique! In the midst of his confusion, someone exclaimed: ¡°That American just ran ahead of us!¡± The entire team was shocked! (Congratulations, God-level Hero, on reaching an average of 3000 pre-orders on the first day! Thank you for your support! Meanwhile, we¡¯re asking for more votes!) (To be continued.

Chapter 117 - Chapter 117 Chapter 114 The Great Demon Attacks Chapter 117: Chapter 114: The Great Demon Attacks Chapter 117: Chapter 114: The Great Demon Attacks What does it mean to act with the mindset of a major power? SawSaw showed it to that so-called number one Hell player from the China Region who was on the run. Flaunting military power is a symbol of the confidence of a major power, it can prevent a lot of unnecessary strategic miscalculations and diplomatic frictions. In short, it means you don¡¯t get tired talking to people. Perhaps the Chinese can rack their brains out without understanding what just happened, right? There are many things the Chinese don¡¯t understand. Even so, one cannot deny that the Chinese are much smarter than the Indians. When the Chinese don¡¯t understand, they go copy; when Indians don¡¯t understand, they just spend their silly money to buy. So, it¡¯s just that Indians are always so adorable, and the Chinese always so detestable. SawSaw doesn¡¯t know much about Chinese culture; he always laughs when he hears the diplomatic terms used by the Chinese, but there is one thing in Chinese culture that he admires, which is the willingness to face tough challenges head-on, a term he learned playing a Japanese-made game about Chinese history. Aren¡¯t the Chinese always boasting that they are a 5000-year-old civilization? They can¡¯t even develop their own culture, and let enemy countries make money off it instead, which is really laughable. In fact, SawSaw also appreciates the Samurai Path from Japanese culture. It¡¯s a pity that neither the Chinese nor the Japanese today possess the spirit to face challenges head-on, nor do they possess the Samurai Path, which is indeed laughable. Right, the Samurai Path was abolished by us in the United States after Japan¡¯s defeat, no wonder the Japanese don¡¯t have it anymore, wahaaaaaaa! So, let this BOSS show you Chinese and Japanese what it means to face challenges head-on, what the Samurai Path is! The scene changes, and SawSaw arrives at the Pool of Radiance, the Demon Camp. ¡°Oh! Shit!¡± Looking at the chaotic camp with dust-filled skies, SawSaw instantly feels that the situation is not good. A NPC Horned Demon steps forward and says: ¡°Welcome! Warrior, this is the Hell Frontline, the interim Execution Officer Siriel needs help, please go find him.¡± SawSaw asks in confusion: ¡°Interim Execution Officer?¡± ¡°Yes, just a moment ago, the former Execution Officer Alistair was dismissed by the Demon King! Warrior, our enemy is very formidable, please give it your all!¡± SawSaw bursts into roars of laughter! Formidable opponent! Good, very good! SawSaw encounters a Mage Hero surrounded by entourage and covered in flames by the seaside Watchtower. His blazing body shows his current high spirits. He says solemnly: ¡°Welcome, Warrior, the situation is very bad right now, we need to stabilize and recover, then wait for the reinforcements from the Spider Demon race to arrive. Your task now is to clear the Elemental Life from the Ancient Channel to the southwest, and pave the way for the Spider Demon reinforcements!¡± ¡°NO! NO!! NO, Sir!!!¡± SawSaw shakes his head wildly: ¡°I¡¯m a Warrior, not a cleaner, I didn¡¯t come from Los Angeles to do this for you, I want to fight! Fight! Fighting!!! Understand?! Are you still a Demon if you do this? Sir!!!¡± Siriel says in a deep voice: ¡°Our factories are destroyed, we do not have enough corrupt soil, we cannot guarantee the shipbuilding speed, and we cannot organize a large-scale attack, we need to hold our ground now!¡± ¡°Shit!¡± SawSaw curses out loud! Dealing with NPCs is just tiring. Even the demeanor of a major power doesn¡¯t work. Just then, a sharp and miserable howl comes from within the barrier. SawSaw immediately says: ¡°Sir, did you hear that? I want to fight! You can¡¯t stop a Warrior¡¯s resolve to fight! My strength is my confidence!¡± Siriel¡¯s flames blaze: ¡°Good! I forgive your impertinence to your superior, I¡¯ll give you a chance, if you fail, then just shut your mouth obediently!¡± ¡°YES, SIR!!!¡± Led by a dozen Demon Servant Shipworkers, SawSaw enters the barrier with extreme excitement and boards a giant paddle ship. Not far from the coast, a dozen giant paddle ships seemed to merge with the lava like statues, a truly thrilling sight. SawSaw sneers, the stronger the opponent, the more they deserve to be beheaded. As a level 7 Great Demon, his strength is something that not ordinary players, nor even professional players, can fathom. ¡ª-Great Demon: Attack 32, Defense 32, HP 211, Attack Speed 10, Damage 36-66, Fire Resistance 90%, Magic Resistance 60%, Special Skills: Teleportation Movement, Summon Abyss Lord, Curse of Misfortune, Mind Immunity, Flame Slash, Hate Strike, Light enemy. ¡ª-Hero Special Ability: Great Demon Commander, the Hero and the Great Demon Army under his command have +50% teleportation range, Great Demon damage +10. When ordinary players start off as a gunner with 0 attack, 0 defense, and 1-3 damage, SawSaw was already a Great Demon with attributes as above. Equality? The American universal concept of ¡°equality¡± has never been about making the strong as weak as the weak or making the weak as strong as the strong, but about giving the strong what they deserve. So, such a powerful game account took nearly half a month just to complete the newbie tutorial. If the tutorial failed, it would mean he was not strong, undeserving, and his game account might never appear before the world¡¯s players, only stuck at the bottom of Hell playing single-player. Now, at level 27, with Master-level Attack Skill, Grandmaster-level Reconnaissance Skill, Grandmaster-level Logistics Skill, and basic Hell Gate, the only way to survive in the harsh trials of the lowest level of Hell was to run and hide, and he had reached the dual Grandmaster stage that ordinary players couldn¡¯t even imagine. Now wearing top-notch gear, his attack and defense stats are a terrifying 70+, with level, skills, and equipment bonuses, his damage is also a terrifying 60-90, he¡¯s like a humanoid BOSS, no player can withstand a single blow from him, that¡¯s his capital for facing challenges alone. He dislikes leading troops; apart from level 7 Great Demons, no troops can keep up with his high-speed maneuvers. He doesn¡¯t need to lead troops; the enemies he kills will be offered as sacrifices to summon level 6 Abyss Lords. This is the strength of a Great Demon born from the top tier of the Hell Race. Now, launched by the NPC boatmen, the giant paddle ship begins to depart from the coast. SawSaw takes out his telescope to look towards the direction of the horrible scream, barely making out the silhouette of a giant ship. A sly smile cracks across his face: ¡°So cool! It¡¯s Mine!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only At this moment, Da Fei who is happily bombarding the insect nest suddenly receives a system alarm. ¡ª-System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! Enemy ships are approaching you, please be on the alert! Huh? Someone dares to take to the waters? Is my Giant Cannon not effective? Da Fei pulls out his telescope, looks in the direction indicated, and goes, ¡°Eh! An American player! Where are his troops? Damn! Just one person? Let me take a look at your equipment first, haha!

The person in the binoculars was also holding a pair of binoculars, looking at him. Wahahaha! What can you see? Nothing but a ship¡¯s shadow. Do you know what a God-level Reconnaissance Technique is? Wait! Why can¡¯t Brother Mao see his equipment? I¡¯m at God-level Reconnaissance Skill, shouldn¡¯t I be able to see others¡¯ equipment easily? Does it mean the other party¡¯s Reconnaissance Skill isn¡¯t low either? Like that Spider Hero? A master! Can¡¯t see his strengths or weaknesses, comes alone with no soldiers, and he¡¯s a foreigner; all signs of being a master! Why is being a foreigner also a sign of a master? Isn¡¯t that obvious? Have you seen Huang Feihong? Have you seen Li Xiaolong? In movies, whenever a foreigner appears, he¡¯s definitely a boxing king or champion who sweeps through opponents, claiming to be invincible, and then waits to be defeated by the national hero! The question is, how will he attack me? Just relying on sailing the ship to crash into me? Isn¡¯t that funny?! Wait! The so-called big-headed, thick-necked types are either bosses or cooks; maybe he¡¯s a spy collecting intelligence? Yes, a spy also fits all the characteristics of a master! This guy¡¯s Reconnaissance Skill isn¡¯t low; he¡¯s definitely a spy. Whoa! Almost got bluffed. Soldiers are the country¡¯s heavy weapon and should not be lightly shown to others! Want to see my troops? Not a chance! ¡°Retreat! Retreat! Quickly retreat, everyone hide in the cabin!¡± Da Fei waved repeatedly, and all the Jungle Hunters and Flower Demons flew into the cabin. Hmph! I won¡¯t let you see either! Da Fei also went into the cabin. Then, it¡¯s time to blow him away! Right, if he knows how many cannons I have, isn¡¯t that also his gain? Psh, to deal with him, just one Triple Crossbow is enough! But to deal with his ship, there¡¯s no better option, I¡¯ll use only 50% of my power and open half the gun hatches. ¡­ The giant paddle ship advanced at full speed towards the target. In SawSaw¡¯s binoculars, the outline of the sailboat was entirely visible; indeed, it was a big ship, surely the one belonging to the scammer from the China Region. SawSaw laughed wildly, ¡°Robbing a scammer doesn¡¯t count as stealing!¡± Then he saw the empty deck, all prepared. SawSaw smirked cunningly, ¡°Good! Very Good!¡± He then ducked under the ship¡¯s side, his whole body becoming blurry, Stealth! At this time, Da Fei, watching the approaching giant paddle ship from the gun cabin, suddenly noticed the guy laying under the ship and disappearing. Huh? What is he doing? How can he be a spy without showing his face? The giant paddle ship was breaking through the waves, about to enter the Crossbow Cannon¡¯s range. ¡°¨CPrepare!!!¡± At Da Fei¡¯s command, the gunners, loaded for a long time, perked up! And just then, a red dot suddenly appeared on Da Fei¡¯s small map, its position exactly on Da Fei¡¯s ship! Da Fei was startled! What is this? In the midst of his shock, the red dot flashed and disappeared from the radar on the map. Da Fei¡¯s eyes shrank in amazement! This looks just like that Spider Hero! When the other¡¯s Reconnaissance Skill is not far off from his own, such a flickering situation would happen? Could it be that this spy is drawing my attention, and another Spider Hero is landing on my ship? As Da Fei¡¯s mind raced, the giant paddle ship entered range. Without much thought, Da Fei gave the order, ¡°Fire!¡± ¡°¨CBoom pow! Boom pow! Boom pow!¡± The first-tier gun cabin¡¯s eight cannons fired with full force, and dozens of Crossbow Arrows whistled, blasting toward the attacking enemy ship. In a moment, debris exploded, rowers¡¯ flesh and blood flew, and the giant paddle ship¡¯s momentum drastically slowed. And just as the Crossbow Cannon roared and the ship quivered slightly, the red dot reappeared, seemingly entering the upper deck corridor? Then the red dot disappeared again! What the heck! Lucky I have God-level Reconnaissance Skill with radar mode enabled, otherwise, I¡¯d be ambushed! Da Fei, feeling like facing a formidable enemy, urgently assembled his troops in the gun cabin, preparing for battle. As soon as that spider entered the gun cabin, all firepower shall serve him! ¡°¨CBoom pow! Boom pow! Boom pow!¡± Another round of Crossbow Cannon bombardment! Amidst the gun cabin¡¯s loud roar, the red light of the reconnaissance alert exploded on Da Fei¡¯s interface! ¡°¨CSystem prompt: Reconnaissance warning! A hidden enemy is about to appear near you!¡± Da Fei was shocked and horrified! This long-forgotten red light instantly reminded Da Fei of the thrilling scene of dodging the Anemone King¡¯s Bounce Attack on the island! There was no time to think about how the red dot moved; Da Fei reflexively rolled on the spot! And at that moment, a heatwave whistled past Da Fei¡¯s head! MISS! ¡°Shit!!!¡± ¡°Shoot!!!¡± Although Da Fei was still rolling, he knew the opponent had invaded in an unbelievable way. The ambushed Jungle Hunters in the gun cabin drew their bows and aimed! ¡°Shit!!!¡± SawSaw¡¯s whole body suddenly burst into flames, a wave of fire swept the entire cabin! ¡°¨CBoom!!! The gun cabin erupted in sparks! -17 points of damage popped up from Da Fei¡¯s head, and a red light flooded his vision! ¡°¨CSystem prompt: You¡¯ve been hit by the Flame Nova Spell and entered a blinding state!¡± ¡°¨CSystem prompt: Your Jungle Hunter Unit has been hit by the Flame Nova Spell and is in a critical condition, please take remedial action!¡± ¡°¨CSystem prompt: Your skilled gunner unit has been hit by the Flame Nova Spell, 16 gunners are dead!¡± Da Fei was horrified! What kind of spell is this strong? A master! An American master! I¡¯m the commander, must not die! The only thing Da Fei could do was keep rolling desperately and shouting for help! And just then, the familiar buzzing sound descended from above, and an ¡°Ah!¡± scream sounded! Brillant! Brillant indeed! Finish him off! ¡°Oh! Shit¨C¡± At this moment, a large group of Flower Demons swooped in, immediately surrounding SawSaw in three layers inside and out, plus a swarm above, turning the entire cabin into a whirl of dust! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Oh! No! No! Fuck u ass¨C¡± Faced with the Flower Demons¡¯ three-dimensional siege, SawSaw could only curse and wail, having exhausted his life-saving moves. After all, he wasn¡¯t a fully immune Spider Hero. Against the defying Flower Demons¡¯ three-dimensional siege, even an 8th-level Hell Baron would be helpless! ¡°¨CSystem prompt: Your vice-heroine, Katelina, has killed the Hell Race player, SawSaw!

You achieved the victory of the ¡®5th Battle¡¯, gaining an additional reward of Command Power +1.¡± Da Fei laughed wildly, ¡°Battling with a god-level opponent? Too Young!

Chapter 119 - Chapter 119 Chapter 116 It Really Is the Great Demon Chapter 119: Chapter 116: It Really Is the Great Demon! Chapter 119: Chapter 116: It Really Is the Great Demon! Lei Huolong and his group rushed to the Demon Camp, and after speaking with the guide NPC at the entrance, they went to see the interim Execution Officer Siriel in front of the Watchtower. ¡°Boss, will that American snatch our lead?¡± Lei Huolong grimly said, ¡°As long as we have more Merit than him, it¡¯ll be fine. We¡¯re doing the task in a group; there¡¯s no way we¡¯ll be worse off!¡± Though he said that, the opponent¡¯s power was truly astounding. As professional gamers, they clearly knew that in some situations, having more people won¡¯t make a difference. A Super Hero who completes key battles and earns Merit and evaluations is not on the same level as a bunch of people accumulating mediocre Merit through odd jobs. If worst comes to worst, we¡¯ll just have to take him down! Of course, this kind of thing might impact China¡¯s international image, but China¡¯s international image has long been ruined by tourists going abroad, so a player¡¯s actions in a game wouldn¡¯t make it any worse. ¡°Welcome, Warriors! The situation for our forces is extremely severe!¡± The interim Execution Officer, surrounded by flames, looked very imposing and not at all temporary, stunning Lei Huolong and his group momentarily. Siriel said in a deep voice, ¡°The water of the Pool of Radiance is akin to the Dead Sea for us Demons. To conquer the World Tree, we must face this challenge. We are largely dependent on battleships. But the Elf Clan¡¯s warships are very advanced, and we can only match them in scale! Unfortunately, due to my self-willed predecessor shirking his duties, our most important Military Factory has been destroyed by the enemy, and our offensive has come to a total halt, while the Elf Clan will surely use this opportunity to fully prepare for war. Therefore, we must wait for the Spider Demon reinforcements to arrive. The Spider Demons¡¯ special skill allows them to travel underground, completely unhindered by the Pool of Radiance. Meanwhile, our task is to rebuild the factory¡­¡± ¡°Holy shit! Just as I thought, menial labor!¡± The whole group of players cursed in indignation. At that moment, a flash of white light appeared in the camp, and an American player appeared. The group members couldn¡¯t help but be startled, ¡°It¡¯s that American from before!¡± They then burst into laughter, ¡°Hey, hey! He¡¯s in a weakened state too!¡± Lei Huolong¡¯s anxiety was immediately relieved, ¡°Turns out he¡¯s a joke, and here I thought he was a top-notch expert!¡± For a moment, the whole group burst into laughter. Siriel snorted coldly, ¡°War is often decided by the details! This painful lesson is a testament to that. I hope you will all take your tasks seriously, and not aim too high and miss like some fool. His personal failure is of no consequence, but the loss of a battleship is a major blow to our already scarce resources!¡± The crowd roared in unison, ¡°Yes, Officer!¡± Lei Huolong laughed, ¡°Hey, hey! We should have a good chat with our American friend, no need to laugh at him, that¡¯s not nice, not nice!¡± The group roared with laughter even louder. ¡­ In a Los Angeles underground garage bar. ¡°Why! Impossible!!!¡± A hysterical scream drowned out the rock music in the bar! ¡°Oh yeah! Let¡¯s toast to little Peter! Wahaaaaa!¡± The other team members¡¯ jeers added to the bar¡¯s festive atmosphere. Captain Howell gestured to quell the celebration and asked in a serious tone, ¡°Didn¡¯t you kill more than ten gunners? Why not use their corpses to summon the Abyss Lord? The Flower Demons¡¯ normal attacks can¡¯t interrupt the Magic.¡± SawSaw shook his head in annoyance, ¡°Of course I tried to summon, but the summon failed!¡± Howell was surprised, ¡°Summoning can fail?¡± SawSaw shook his head and sighed, ¡°It might be because of the World Tree Barrier, or maybe, I don¡¯t know, this guy named Dafei isn¡¯t an ordinary fraudster, he¡¯s a very powerful fraudster!¡± Everyone laughed, ¡°Don¡¯t put your failure down to the opponent¡¯s strength, the stupidity of not leading troops doomed you from the start, Wahaaaa!!¡± SawSaw angrily flipped off everyone in the bar. Howell looked at the big screen on the wall and said solemnly, ¡°Pay attention, the Chinese are coming over, they seem to want to talk to you about something.¡± At that moment, Lei Huolong walked over to this international friend and patted his shoulder, ¡°hello?¡± SawSaw lifted his head with a cold response. Lei Huolong said with a sigh, ¡°Please allow me to make a sad face!¡± ¡ª- Ah puff! The entire team burst into sorrowful laughter! ¡°FUCK!!! I¡¯ve been mocked by the Chinese!¡± Someone screamed hysterically, and the team¡¯s laughter erupted once again throughout the venue! ¡­ On the Flying, the sailors were cleaning the cabin. Da Fei excitedly checked the spoils of war he had just obtained. ¡ª- Speed Cloak: A-grade strategic treasure, increases troop Move Speed by 10% and Attack Speed by 10%. An A-grade treasure! This is the legendary Speed Cloak that beta players talked about! Coupled with the Speed Ring and Speed Boots, it can form a Divine Artifact! The components that can form Divine Artifacts are definitely not sold in NPC markets; one must defeat a BOSS or complete a quest to obtain them. Considering the power of a BOSS that could drop an A-grade treasure, it¡¯s no wonder how lucky I was to get an A-grade Misfortune Hourglass after killing so many BOSSES, and that was only because I was lucky to stand in the right spot. Otherwise, I nearly let that BOSS teleport away! Wait! Teleport? Could that American¡¯s skill just now also have been teleportation? Impossible! Considering that the red dot appeared on the ship before the cannon fired, does that mean the teleportation distance is farther than the range of the Crossbow Cannon? How could there be such a powerful teleportation? Isn¡¯t that just slicing whoever you want? But if it¡¯s not teleportation, how else could you explain his bizarre actions? Magic? Even more impossible! If you can Stealth while casting, then you¡¯re a god! But then again, the enemy made the impossible possible, so what can I even say? Da Fei was quite shaken internally. Now that Selvia is in position, she started using the Master-level Light Magic she had learned to cast the Resurrection Technique to resurrect the gunners. Right, the magic that killed these gunners, Da Fei also had never heard of it, a hidden skill? A skill that comes with a treasure? This world certainly is full of experts and masters, not to be underestimated. From now on, I must be extremely careful, or else I might lose everything in one false move. Bright light flooded the cabin, a flash of golden light on the dozen gunner¡¯s bodies, and then they slowly rose, alive! Da Fei was immensely relieved; having a Little Baby in the team was just too wonderful. Huh? Why aren¡¯t three of them getting up? Similarly, Selvia was full of confusion: ¡°Why are these three unresponsive? Let me try again!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t waste any more Mana!¡± Mrs. Anwen appeared: ¡°The souls of these three have been sacrificed to a Demon; they can no longer be saved.¡± ¡°Demonic Sacrifice!¡± exclaimed Da Fei: ¡°Was it that person just now?¡± Damn it! Just how incredible was that person just now? How much information was revealed in that brief appearance? Anwen sighed, ¡°So, Captain sir, please accept the inevitable and find some replacements for their positions.¡± Damn it! They were seasoned sailors with built-in Advanced War Machine Technology and Crossbow Master skills! Who could replace them? Flower Demon? With 0 attack and 0 defense aptitude to play with cannons? Damn it, cursed American, this is practically ruining my three Crossbow Cannons! Wait, there¡¯s still an idler, that would be the first Banshee summoned from the Banshee Camp, the adult one, she¡¯ll do, any humanoid can operate a cannon. She will operate my Crossbow Cannon; it won¡¯t affect the firepower, and the damage is calculated on the player¡¯s side. As for the other two cannons, well, I guess it¡¯s up to those two sweethearts. They¡¯ve grown into BOSSes with 30 attack and 20 defense; looking at all the troops on the ship, they have the most solid attribute points. If they take over, they can maximize the compensation for the loss of Crossbow Cannon firepower, plus their range is long, they can fight monsters, much better for growth compared to watching from the sidelines in the past few battles. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Sigh, let¡¯s see how much they need to grow to make up for the loss of the Crossbow Cannon. Huh? Suddenly Da Fei remembered the attribute of the seasoned sailors, 40 Life Value! 3 sailors make 120 Life Value, which is exactly the life of the Hell Race¡¯s Level 6 unit Abyss Lord in its normal form! And the so-called sacrifice just now¨C Da Fei, having a sudden epiphany, stared wide-eyed and slack-jawed! That American was a Great Demon! A Level 7 unit, a Great Demon! A Great Demon¡¯s special skill is to use the corpses of dead creatures, friend or foe alike, to summon Level 6 Abyss Lords; the corpse¡¯s Life Value must be greater or equal to the Life Value of the Abyss Lord! These three sailor corpses exactly met the summoning conditions! That explains the teleportation as well! It¡¯s all Great Demon¡¯s abilities! Damn it! Is this some kind of mistake? How¡¯s anyone supposed to play now! One person from the other side almost flipped me over; if a Multi-Nation Joint Army comes at me together, do I even have a chance to survive? This isn¡¯t something I can handle alone; I must have allies too! (Seeking all kinds of votes) (To be continued.

Chapter 120 - Chapter 120 Chapter 117 Forming an Alliance with the Dragon Chapter 120: Chapter 117: Forming an Alliance with the Dragon Slayer Guild Chapter 120: Chapter 117: Forming an Alliance with the Dragon Slayer Guild Suddenly realizing there were such overpowered players in the world, Da Fei felt extreme annoyance! However, having been accustomed to the United States being 50 years ahead in technology and China being 50 years ahead in real estate, Da Fei believed there was no advantage he couldn¡¯t overcome. Now, the pressing issue was finding allies to counter the opponent. After settling the troops, Da Fei hurriedly went to the forums to check the situation, as it was a National War now, and the forum was bound to be full of so-called experts. Sure enough, hot posts on the forum like ¡°Star Guild rises and challenges the whole world!¡± ¡°Dragon Slayer Guild, where do you stand?¡± ¡°If the Dragon Slayer Guild attacks the Pool of Radiance, they are traitors¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a game, don¡¯t randomly insult and label people¡± made Da Fei¡¯s eyes burn. No experts around, but piles of patriotic youths. Allies, people who can help each other in a fight. Friends, those who can help lend money. Forget about lending money, so Da Fei definitely had no friends. There were allies everywhere though, and Da Fei set his sights on the Star Guild and Dragon Slayer Guild. From the situation on the forum, the Star Guild was awaiting orders, seemingly waiting for further development in the underground situation. Oh hell, are they relying on me to break the ice? Useless! I¡¯m barely surviving from day to day, could it be that they are waiting for me to fall, and then when the system announces mission failure and the National War kicks off, the Elf Kingdom will send their troops? Oh hell! Can¡¯t count on them. But isn¡¯t the Dragon Slayer Guild right here? But why should the Dragon Slayer Guild cooperate with me, from the enemy camp? Afraid of being labeled as traitors and thus avoiding the National War? This is just a game! Was Hemorrhoid Ointment the type of person who would claim territories, kill players until they de-leveled back to level zero cold-hearted and ruthless for fame? Well, once your status is high, one must consider reputational impact. Cut the crap, high status? Just a gaming boss, and compared with those government officials whose entire families have moved abroad, is his status higher? In an instant, Da Fei thought of the private message from the Dragon Slayer Guild in his mailbox about purchasing the hero inheritance. Perhaps this could be a chance for collaboration? Well, thinking while discussing, Da Fei began replying to the message from Long Zhan: ¡°I greatly admire the strength and reputation of the Dragon Slayer Guild, and I am very interested in selling the Inheritance Scroll to your Guild, but I am unwilling to deal with an organization whose stance in the National War is unclear. I want to know your Guild¡¯s stance.¡± After sending the message, Da Fei anxiously awaited the response. At this time, the Flower Demons were repairing the third barracks, and the Druids were resting to recover mana. The Flower Demons were out of mana, but the Druids could still cast a lightning, Selvia had enough mana for one more resurrection, and they could fight one last battle today and take down the fourth barracks. Then they should immediately hide deep in the Pool of Radiance and avoid being found by the vengeful Americans. While contemplating, a ding from the forum signaled a reply! Da Fei quickly checked: ¡°Hello! I am Long Zhan from the Dragon Slayer Guild, very pleased with your trust and appreciation for our Guild, but I am only responsible for negotiating prices, I really have no say in the Guild¡¯s development decisions. Personally, I think earning money is enough; why bother about unnecessary real-world implications in the game?¡± Oh hell, Da Fei needed to make money and handle business simultaneously! To not wear himself out talking, he decided to show his true colors. Da Fei decided to reveal his identity: ¡°It does matter because I am the designated Super Hero sent by the Elf Kingdom for this National War, my in-game name is Da Fei, I own a gigantic warship, and I just blew up an awesome American! Don¡¯t believe me? I¡¯ll send you screenshots!¡± Da Fei immediately dragged the hero inheritance icon under his game name, took a combined photo, screenshot it. He also screenshot the system information of killing the American, and then opened an aerial view of the battlefield from the game to get a screenshot of his warship, and sent all three images. Hmph, completely Photoshop-free, fools wouldn¡¯t believe it! Long Zhan immediately replied: ¡°So it¡¯s Mr. Da Fei, a well-known name indeed. How about I contact our Guild President and suggest he adds you as a friend in-game and personally discusses this with you? His game ID is Dragon Scale!¡± ¡°Good!¡± That¡¯s more like it, Da Fei had really no interest in talking to underlings! But what did he mean by ¡®well-known name¡¯? You guys wouldn¡¯t be prejudiced against my reputation, right? That¡¯s totally unnecessary, I¡¯m now a professional player, besides it¡¯s not like it¡¯s my first time dealing with you Dragon Slayer Guild folks, haha! Soon the message came. ¡ª System Prompt: Player Dragon Scale has sent a friend request, do you accept? Hahaha! Agreed! Brother hemorrhoids, long time no see! Guess who I am? I¡¯m not a phone scammer! Dragon Scale: ¡°It turns out to be Mr. Da Fei, I¡¯ve heard so much about you!¡± Da Fei: ¡°President Long is the one I¡¯ve long admired!¡± ¡°Hehe, my last name is Ma, and I love Dragon Slayer.¡± Da Fei laughed; ¡°Chairman Ma, when I posted that Inheritance Scroll the other day, I read the posts on the forum, and it didn¡¯t quite make sense.¡± Dragon Scale laughed: ¡°Correct, that favorite President Long of mine really didn¡¯t want me to get that scroll, so he deliberately inflated the price irresponsibly. The online gaming world is unpredictable, pies and Divine Artifacts falling from the sky are common. I think, if the market suddenly changes, it would be a considerable loss to you, sir, so I suggest selling it early for peace of mind, as the profit only counts when it¡¯s in hand.¡± Da Fei laughed: ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about the price just yet, I can¡¯t even make a trade now, since I am stuck at the Pool of Radiance on a mission from the Elf Kingdom. But, there must be your people by the Pool of Radiance, right, Chairman Ma? That would indeed facilitate a transaction!¡± Dragon Scale immediately said, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, Long Zhan and I have discussed your request earlier; we might as well talk specifics.¡± Da Fei laughed: ¡°True to form, Chairman Ma, straightforward! Let me put it plainly; you won¡¯t get much benefit from this National War, at least not as much as my Inheritance Scroll. The reason is simple, the Americans are overwhelmingly strong! Would you believe me if I said the American I just killed named SawSaw was a 7th-grade soldier born from a Great Demon? He was so arrogant that he got surrounded and killed by my troops without bringing any soldiers, and next time he shows up, he¡¯s bound to bring a large force for revenge, which scares me! So I need Chairman Ma¡¯s cooperation, we need an inside-outside strategy to face this difficulty together, expel the invaders, and restore China. By the way, Chairman Ma, aren¡¯t you laughing at me now? Isn¡¯t this akin to negotiating with a tiger?¡± Dragon Scale chuckled lightly: ¡°What a negotiation with a tiger! Never mind who the tiger is, at least working together to face the difficulty suits me! Even if it¡¯s not for the scroll, we still need to cooperate! How about we keep each other informed about our positions in the game?¡± Da Fei: ¡°No problem at all! Chairman Ma, you can take all opportunities to backstab me, but just don¡¯t let me fall right now. If I fall, then it triggers the full-scale National War, and the Elf Kingdom will deploy its entire army. Then Boss Long might not necessarily buy my Inheritance Scroll!¡± Dragon Scale laughed heartily: ¡°Mr. Da Fei, you do have a sense of humor. Great, I¡¯ll have Lei Huolong add you as a friend right now so we can discuss the specifics.¡± ¡°Great! After finishing the conversation with Da Fei, Ma Yinglong reclined on the sofa, staring blankly at the ceiling. Da Fei turned out to be a hero dispatched by the Elf Kingdom, which was indeed within expectations. Whether or not Da Fei is a swindler or genuinely intends to discuss a price, at least under the current circumstances, collaborating with Da Fei¨Can ¡®external enemy¡¯¨Cis the most beneficial way out. Just now, what Da Fei mentioned about the American Lei Huolong was also reported, and it was almost unbelievable. Now that Da Fei confirmed him as a 7th-grade soldier, the shock to Ma Yinglong can only be imagined. That one American is enough to change the tide of battle, not to mention the eagerly watching Japanese. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The key is, how long can he cooperate with this Da Fei? Yes, it indeed does feel like negotiating with a tiger, and it remains to see who the tiger is! However, why do I always feel like what Da Fei says suits my own taste? Have we dealt with each other before? Ending his conversation with the hemorrhoid ointment, Da Fei felt slightly more at ease. Isn¡¯t there a saying about not fearing god-like opponents but fearing pig-like teammates? It doesn¡¯t require the Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s people to be very strong, just enough to frustrate the Americans would do. ¨CSystem Prompt: Player Lei Huolong has requested to add you as a friend, do you agree? Hahaha, the people handling affairs have arrived! Brother, I have a very important collaboration project for you, otherwise, I won¡¯t sell the scroll to you guys! (Seeking various votes!)

Chapter 121 - Chapter 121 Chapter 118 Theres Nothing Dragon Slayer Cant Do Chapter 121: Chapter 118 There¡¯s Nothing Dragon Slayer Can¡¯t Do Chapter 121: Chapter 118 There¡¯s Nothing Dragon Slayer Can¡¯t Do Mr. Da Fei and Lei Huolong added each other as friends. Lei Huolong chuckled, ¡°So it¡¯s Brother Fei. Hello, Brother Fei!¡± Mr. Da Fei laughed, ¡°Oh please, isn¡¯t this the China Region¡¯s number one resistance fighter? It¡¯s an honor to meet you!¡± ¡°Just call me Lei, that¡¯s totally fine.¡± ¡°Hello, hello Lei!¡± After the pleasantries, Lei Huolong asked, ¡°Regarding this specific collaboration, does Brother Fei have any suggestions?¡± To be honest, I hadn¡¯t really thought of specific suggestions, but as a collaboration partner, of course, I must seize every opportunity to make the most of it! Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°First and foremost, ¡®Chinese don¡¯t fight Chinese¡¯, no problems with that, right?¡± Lei Huolong laughed, ¡°No problem, no problem at all.¡± Mr. Da Fei continued, ¡°Exactly, and, I would like to know about the movements of the NPCs on the Demon Race¡¯s side. Of course, that¡¯s not classified information¨Conce there are more players, such info is bound to leak on the forums anyway.¡± Lei Huolong laughed, ¡°Brother Fei is formidable; you¡¯ve laid waste to the Demon Race Factory. Our current task is to rebuild. Then, the NPCs are seeking help from the Spider Demon clan. Before the reinforcements arrive, the NPCs won¡¯t hit the waters. Brother Fei, rest assured and enjoy your carefree cruise.¡± Mr. Da Fei was suddenly taken aback, ¡°The Spider Demon clan! The very race of that Spider Hero? This is problematic, those guys are immune to all sorts of abilities, climbing walls like invincible ninjas¨Cmy warships and Flower Demons won¡¯t have any advantage! The question is, if the Spider Demons send troops, will the Elf Kingdom intervene? Regardless, I can¡¯t just sit and wait, can I?¡± Mr. Da Fei shamelessly said, ¡°Can you think of any way to delay the Spider Demon reinforcements? Once they arrive, I¡¯m done for. I cannot fall now!¡± Lei Huolong frowned, ¡°This is difficult. When NPCs decide to come, we players can¡¯t stop them, we really don¡¯t have a say in it.¡± Damn, what good are you then? Is this how you collaborate? Be careful, or I won¡¯t sell you scrolls! Let¡¯s change the subject. I¡¯ve always been concerned about the Flower Demons; if we could collaborate with them and rescue the Flower Demons trapped in the tower, maybe we could complete the purification quest quickly? However, to rescue the Flower Demons, they would have to turn against the NPCs, right? Such an act would be considered a betrayal to the faction, even more severe than being a red name player. Would they go to such lengths over a scroll that we haven¡¯t even negotiated a price for? Perhaps sensing that Mr. Da Fei had remained silent for a while, Lei Huolong messaged again, ¡°For something like this, Brother Fei, you¡¯ll have to talk to the boss. It¡¯s out of our hands.¡± Mr. Da Fei was startled. Discuss with the boss? Right, even though we¡¯ve collaborated, Chairman Ma hasn¡¯t mentioned purchasing the scroll at all. Is he looking for a chance to lower the price? This is a huge deal! Even if it¡¯s worth tens or hundreds of thousands, it¡¯s a big deal for me! By initiating the partnership myself and proposing the ¡®Chinese don¡¯t fight Chinese¡¯ idea, I had already given him an advantage for nothing. If I push him further, with his nature, he might push me around. Alright, I need to stay calm. Although the scroll isn¡¯t as hyped as it is on the forums, it¡¯s definitely worth the cost of a house¨Cthat¡¯s my bottom line. Mr. Da Fei chuckled, ¡°No worries, take your time. Just give me a heads-up if the situation changes.¡± ¡°Oh, sure, Brother Fei, take your time too.¡± I refuse to believe that if the Spider Demons come, they¡¯ve really got me cornered? Could all of them be as strong as that hero? Impossible! Speaking of which, based on the last words of the Guardian who turned into a Resentful Spirit, it seems that the Abyss Blood Pool is the lair of the Spider Demons? Since it¡¯s related to the Abyss Blood Pool, I should consult Mrs. Anwen. At this moment, the Flower Demons on the tree roots finished repairing the fourth barracks. ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully repaired a Flower Demon barracks! ¨CSystem Prompt: A Forest Goddess has joined your army. ¨CSystem Prompt: The Flower Demon barracks has room for 20 Flower Demons. Would you like to recruit them? Hahahaha, now I have four Forest Goddesses! Every single one of these units gives me such a sense of achievement! If I can gather more than twenty, that would be a formidable healing unit for sure! At this moment, Mrs. Anwen, with Selvia¡¯s support, came forward voluntarily: ¡°Captain, we can still fight another battle today!¡± Such an old lady keen on leveling! Da Fei laughed heartily: ¡°Great! Next one!¡± Then Da Fei asked again: ¡°Lady Anwen, it seems the Demons are planning to send the Spider Demon reinforcements to attack us, do you have any strategy?¡± Anwen laughed heartily: ¡°Isn¡¯t that perfect? My mission is to assist the Captain in attacking the Abyss Blood Pool. If they send out troops on a large scale, it will definitely leave their base vulnerable. We¡¯ll just start the Space Teleportation Array on the ship and strike at their base! This is called swapping battlegrounds!¡± Swapping battlegrounds? Da Fei exclaimed in shock: ¡°Then what about our World Tree?¡± Anwen smiled: ¡°That¡¯s not my concern. There will always be capable people to worry about that, right?¡± Holy crap! What does it mean to grow old but strong! This old lady¡¯s style of doing things is ruthless! Da Fei cried out in alarm: ¡°But without purifying the Pool of Radiance, my ship can¡¯t be repaired. Is it okay to head directly to the Blood Pool?¡± Anwen shook her head and sighed: ¡°Do you think if the Spider Demon reinforcements come attacking, you¡¯ll be able to purify the Pool of Radiance and repair the ship?¡± Da Fei let out a long sigh: ¡°You¡¯re right, ma¡¯am! It seems that¡¯s the only way to go!¡± Ah, life¡¯s many dissatisfactions are truly boundless. It¡¯s so difficult to complete a task methodically and successfully. An Epic Quest is definitely an Epic Quest! As long as Brother gets through this hurdle, Brother will never take on another Epic Quest in this lifetime! Too exhausting. Anwen chuckled again: ¡°By the way, Miss Catherine mentioned something about the Pirate King¡¯s Mysterious Stealth Navigation, I find that very interesting. If it¡¯s really as magical as they say, it will add another layer of security when we strike at the Abyss Blood Pool in the future.¡± Da Fei hurriedly responded: ¡°Exactly, exactly, your words are most sensible, ma¡¯am!¡± Just then, Da Fei¡¯s messenger pinged. It was Dragon Scale. Damn, I don¡¯t reach out to you and now you¡¯re reaching out to me? It seems in negotiations, whoever speaks first is at a disadvantage, huh, wahahaha, are you afraid I¡¯ll get angry and renege on selling you the scroll? Hmm, not bad, I could change my mind at any time indeed. Dragon Scale: ¡°Mr. Da Fei, Lei Huolong just reported to me, it seems you¡¯ve encountered some trouble?¡± Da Fei chuckled: ¡°Hasn¡¯t really reached the point of trouble yet, has it? Besides, this kind of thing couldn¡¯t possibly trouble Chairman Ma, could it?¡± Dragon Scale laughed heartily: ¡°Actually, it¡¯s not difficult to hold off the Spider Demon reinforcements. That NPC officer issued a quest to clear the Ancient Channel to welcome the Spider Demon reinforcements. We can do the opposite, refrain from clearing it, and even better, build it up and block it completely. Wouldn¡¯t that do the job?¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped in surprise! No way? Is this hemorrhoid ointment so righteous? Is he trying to win brother over? Is this scroll really that important to him? Isn¡¯t this just asking Brother to raise the price on the spot? Da Fei asked in astonishment: ¡°Chairman Ma, what¡¯s in it for you to do this? Simply to show your willingness to collaborate with me?¡± Dragon Scale laughed heartily: ¡°You¡¯re pretty straightforward, not beating around the bush at all? Truly worthy of being a celebrity from the China Region. I¡¯ll be frank, it¡¯s very beneficial for me, but you can¡¯t let this slip.¡± Da Fei hurriedly replied: ¡°Of course not, leaking it out would make me a traitor, wouldn¡¯t it?¡± Dragon Scale explained: ¡°It¡¯s simple. By blocking the Spider Demon¡¯s passage, I¡¯m effectively delaying the progression of the quest. That way, all the foreigners who came to the China Region, especially the Japanese, will have nothing to do, with no place to level up. If I hold them back for a day, they miss a day of leveling up. Not only do they lose a day of leveling up, but I¡¯ll also fight them with all I¡¯ve got, a battle to the death, depleting their levels and forces. Anyway, the Hell Race from the China Region is not worth mentioning, I can just mess things up as I like, it¡¯s like the strategy of using an inferior horse to exhaust an opponent¡¯s superior horse in Tian Ji¡¯s horse racing, while China Region¡¯s superior horses must seize the time to level up and widen the gap with them.¡± Da Fei exclaimed in amazement: ¡°You¡¯ve thought so far ahead? Chairman Ma, what a grand strategy!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Dragon Scale laughed heartily: ¡°Oh please, I¡¯m just trying to show my sincerity in collaborating with you. I¡¯m afraid you might not sell it to me if you were upset.¡± Pfft! Da Fei laughed: ¡°How could that be? Chairman Ma is overthinking it.¡± Damn! If Brother really gets upset, he might indeed not sell it! Dragon Scale said solemnly: ¡°Actually, I just want to make it clear that there¡¯s nothing the Dragon Slayer Guild can¡¯t do! Even in areas where we cannot exert strength, we can still make big things happen. Collaborating with us, whether now or in the future, Mr. Da Fei will not regret it!¡± Da Fei suddenly realized that he was being wooed! Okay then, how about resolving the Flower Demon issue later? (Important guests have arrived for the holiday, the big boss of the cigarette tray needs to host, which is essential for the household, sorry) (To be continued.

Chapter 122 - Chapter 122 Chapter 119 The Advancing Indians Chapter 122: Chapter 119: The Advancing Indians Chapter 122: Chapter 119: The Advancing Indians Regardless, with the Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s involvement, Da Fei finally felt a great relief; now he could focus all his efforts on clearing out the insect nest. The most important thing right now was to level up Selvia¡¯s experiences and skills. At level 30, Selvia¡¯s Sea Hymn specialty provides a 30% boost to the effects of Light Magic when at sea, plus an additional 25% from being a Master-level Nun, totaling a 55% increase. If this effect were applied to an individual unit, that would transform a healing of 100 hit points into 155 hit points. However, when applied to a large army, the situation is different¨Cthe amount of Mana consumed for healing a large army is often tens of times more than healing a single person. So, a 55% enhancement would mean a 55% reduction in Mana consumption. In other words, conserving Mana is the priority. And the Meditation Skill, along with its sub-skills, were quite formidable too. In short, as long as she could address her Mana problems and ensure untroubled resurrection, the ensuing battles would only become faster. Therefore, even a slight loss in troops at this stage was acceptable. One insect nest alone grants 100,000 Experience, and the countless minor bugs provide an unknown amount of additional Experience. It seemed Selvia was not far from reaching level 25. As long as she took down this fifth insect nest, a level up was guaranteed, and with a full Mana bar, she could fight another battle! Da Fei¡¯s calculations were complete, and with that, he rushed toward the next insect nest, once again marveling at how Ma Yinglong, a source of hemorrhoid ointment who hadn¡¯t been seen for years, had turned into someone so eager to help others. Meanwhile, the Dragon Slayer Guild had already begun to finance the purchase of stone materials from the Demon Flame City Commerce, and mobilized all senior members they could to carry materials to the designated location for assembly. Yes, blocking a path was not as simple as picking up a few stones in the game; it required building materials like stone and wood¨Ca not too small expense. Of course, in accordance with the principle of secrecy, the members temporarily had no idea what the stone materials were for. For the Dragon Slayer Guild, winning over Da Fei was one reason. After all, the emergence of such a powerhouse within the Bright Alliance was something that no one with eyesight could ignore. Moreover, Ma Yinglong himself originated from the internet cafe youth culture and had his share of booking venues for PKs and gaming with illicit equipment, so he didn¡¯t mind dealing with people like Da Fei. What¡¯s more important though, was contending with Star for influence. As long as the Dragon Slayer blocked the Spider Demon passageway, delaying the game¡¯s progress, the Elf Kingdom would opt to remain a spectator and not engage in war. This would leave Star no choice but to stand by and watch helplessly. Meanwhile, the Dragon Slayer had already begun to lead players from the Hell Zone of the China Region to engage with international players, gaining attention, expanding influence, attracting more members. And most crucially, the Dragon Slayer¡¯s own strength as the Hell Race was not formidable¨Closing would only damage the ordinary players¡¯ morale, not causing a significant detriment to the Guild. In the name of patriotism, it was a dignified defeat. But a win on top would be icing on the cake. In any case, this was a gamble with little to lose and much to gain, where regardless of outcome, they would be the winners. As for the statement about slowing down the leveling progress of foreign players, it, of course, could be considered a half-truth, half-joke. Thus, for the Dragon Slayer Star, a large guild with hundreds of thousands of members, they pursued conflicts of grand scale and did not care for the gain or loss of a city or a pool. Even less did they concern themselves with players like Da Fei who nitpicked over the gain or loss of a ship or soldier¨Cthey did not exist on the same level. Could Da Fei use a scroll as leverage against the Dragon Slayer? Obviously not. To the Dragon Slayer Guild, the scroll was both important and unimportant. If someone contested them for it, then it would be important. If no one did, then all the better, but surely they would not be coerced by anyone, hence it was unimportant. How to put it? It¡¯s like a deserted island with little value in itself, but once two countries begin to dispute over it, the situation changes. Each side can use this island for purposes such as probing the other¡¯s strategic boundaries, engaging in diplomatic alliances, expanding military preparations, etc. It allows them to indirectly disrupt the other¡¯s development plans, potentially cripple the opponent¡¯s economy, or pursue ulterior motives. So, if anyone were to contest the Dragon Slayer for the scroll, the Dragon Slayer would undoubtedly use this opportunity to fight until their adversary choked. If no one competed, the Dragon Slayer was in no rush to name a price¨Cthis was the reason Ma Yinglong had never discussed a price with Da Fei from the beginning to the end. In the end, in the eyes of Star or the Dragon Slayer, Da Fei was just a pawn in a strategic position. While Da Fei himself may not have the realization of being a pawn, he at least had the awareness of being an ordinary player concerned with his personal gains and losses. So, the Flower Demon matter was put to rest for now. After all, Deirdre¡¯s mentor had been promoted to a temporary chief, and as her proud disciple, she naturally rose with the tide. Becoming a hero was in the foreseeable future. Even if the Flower Demon needed to be rescued, that would have to wait until after Deirdre became a hero¨Cthen it would be possible to turn against her without any reservations. ¡­. The Demon Camp began to bustle with activity as increasingly more players from various Hell Race nations appeared, with most being scattered members of the European Union. Many flags seemed familiar but were hard to name. These players meandered around the camp, and instead of being here to fight, they seemed more like tourists here for sightseeing, or perhaps to gather intelligence. As for the large teams, not a single one from Japan, the United States, or Russia showed up. After all, this was the first National War, and the main battlefield wasn¡¯t even in the New World. They were merely auxiliary forces, with unclear objectives and benefits, so naturally, the large teams wouldn¡¯t make reckless moves. Moreover, the Japanese players who had been bustling around before the war hadn¡¯t made a move, so other teams were even less inclined to rush. Therefore, the big teams were simply scouting the area, evaluating whether the National War was worth committing their entire forces to. They were also collecting information about the China Region, whose players¡¯ emotions seemed unusual and certainly warranted serious consideration. Aamirhan, a player with the Indian flag above his head, strolled leisurely around the Demon Camp. Though India is a large country, it seldom wins medals in international sports competitions, and their flag resembles many European countries, causing many players to be unfamiliar with it. Thus, at this moment, Aamirhan seemed as ordinary as any other visitor in the crowd. Ordinary is good, being ordinary is an essential trait for a spy, unlike the movie personas like 007. Indeed, Aamirhan was the spy sent by India¡¯s top Guild, the ¡°Eight Heavenly Dragons.¡± Indian guilds were different from others: the United States focused on the Human Race, Japan on the Hell Race, South Korea on Elves, Russia on Dwarfs, the European Union had a mix, and China vied among three major powers. As for India, they went all-in! The so-called Eight Heavenly Dragons referred to the guild¡¯s eight divisions focusing on the six traditional branches of Light and Dark races, as well as researching how to enter the Neutral Clan Mage Academy, and one Hidden Race. The divisions were named: Heaven, Dragon, Yaksha, Qiandapo, Asura, Jialouluo, Jinnaluo, and Moluoji. The most crucial Heaven and Dragon divisions were tasked with studying the Magic Academy and a certain Hidden Race. In short, the name of the Indian guild was outrageous, and their all-encompassing strategy was equally breathtaking. Naturally, as a nation known for its exploits, India indeed had the capital to be arrogant. Firstly, they boast a population second only to China; secondly, they have a developed electronics information industry; thirdly, India often prides itself as an ancient eastern civilization, which also possesses British heritage, giving it substantial international leverage. All they need to do is display a stance antagonistic to China, and Western countries would instantly roll out military sales in droves. Compared to their neighbor, with various restrictions and sanctions, not to mention an aging population, India has always felt a sense of superiority. Because India has such broad acceptance internationally and many options, they have fewer concerns and don¡¯t need to cling tightly to the United States like Japan does¨Cnot at all. Instead, it is the United States that must pay heed to India¡¯s interests in the Indian Ocean. So, Indians truly shouldn¡¯t feel too superior¨Chere¡¯s to drinking Ganges River water and still being Indian in the next life. Yet with such self-satisfaction, India is somewhat capable in many areas but still falls slightly short of taking a leading role, often appearing to muddle through opportunistically. Wherever there¡¯s an advantage to be had, there¡¯s the shadow of their opportunistic approach. Likewise, the Indian Guild also adopted this opportunistic attitude. Aamirhan¡¯s mission was to see whether this National War would bring any benefits. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only As a spy, Aamirhan¡¯s talents naturally made him an elite within the Indian Zone, and his thinking was unlike that of ordinary people. He often noticed things that others couldn¡¯t see or think of. Of course, this could also be perceived as having a broader, albeit mentally erratic, perspective. At this moment, with spies from various countries wandering around the Demon Camp searching for tasks, Aamirhan¡¯s unique sense led him to focus his attention on the towering Magic Watchtower. The flashing green light at the watchtower¡¯s summit didn¡¯t resemble the usual spell energy form of the Demon Race; there must be secrets beyond the reach of the average player. Quietly, very quietly, he moved towards the watchtower, his figure becoming more and more blurred, then vanished altogether under the watchful eyes of the public¨Che went into Stealth. Amidst the crowd yet unnoticed, this was his talent. He shot a grappling hook towards the watchtower¡¯s window and climbed, and climbed, until he reached the windowsill. Then, peeking stealthily inside, a face of breathtaking beauty met his eyes, and he was spellbound! He knew he had discovered what ordinary spies had not. (Vote for various awards!) (To be continued.

Chapter 123 - Chapter 123 Chapter 120 Betting on Indias Pride Chapter 123: Chapter 120: Betting on India¡¯s Pride Chapter 123: Chapter 120: Betting on India¡¯s Pride When Aamirhan and that exceedingly beautiful Hell Demoness¡¯s eyes met, time in Aamirhan¡¯s world stopped. Only when the Hell Demoness hurriedly put on her apprentice Mage mask did he come to his senses. ¡°Miss, you truly are my moon. May I be of service to you?¡± The Hell Demoness shook her head with a voice that brings immense pleasure, sighing, ¡°Hero, this is a military restricted area, please do not climb randomly.¡± Aamirhan said intoxicatedly, ¡°It is fate that brought us together, and nothing can stop it!¡± The Hell Demoness shook her head and sighed, ¡°I really envy you Children of Destiny who have nothing to do, while I struggle on the path to becoming a hero and still can¡¯t make it. I am very troubled right now, please do not disturb me, you better go down.¡± Aamirhan shook his head, ¡°Miss, meeting me is arranged by your destiny. You can tell me any troubles you have.¡± ¡°Arranged by my destiny!?¡± The Hell Demoness was startled. Aamirhan pressed on step by step, ¡°Yes, you are the only moon in my night sky, may I be of service to you?¡± The Hell Demoness trembled and said, ¡°I, have gradually become an elite from a mere demoness, stepping up as a leader. Now, I am under Master Siriel¡¯s guidance trying to become a hero. However, no matter how long I¡¯ve meditated or fluently recited spells, I¡¯ve still failed to breakthrough the limit of my own aptitude to release even the simplest Dark Element Spell. If I still can¡¯t break through, it means I lack the aptitude. Master Siriel will remove me from his disciples list ¨C he doesn¡¯t want fools tarnishing his reputation. Hero, can you help me cast a spell? Can you make me a hero? If you can, I¡¯ll be your moon. If not, please hero, do not waste my time; if caught, you¡¯ll be imprisoned.¡± ¡ª System Prompt: Hell Demoness leader Deirdre has issued you the quest ¡°Hero¡¯s Road¡±. Do you accept? ¡ª Task Hint: When a leader creature gains Magic Power and knowledge attributes, it suggests they are on the threshold of becoming a hero. Staring at the sudden row of information, Aamirhan¡¯s eyes widened, and without hesitation, he accepted, ¡°My dear, wait for me! Trust me! I will do everything to fulfill your wishes! You are the only moon in my heart!¡± He then immediately slid down the Watchtower and hurried to report to his headquarters. This is a shocking discovery! Astonishing reward! What does it mean for a BOSS to grow into a hero? For example, a BOSS with 10,000 health and 100 damage becoming a hero means those are the base attributes of the hero at level 0! The end of a BOSS is the beginning of a hero! If this BOSS successfully becomes a hero, then without a doubt, this hero will be a Super Hero, with growth incomparable to ordinary players! According to the task rewards, she should naturally offer herself to become the Vice Hero of the player! Bangalore, India¡¯s third-largest city, proudly known as Silicon Valley, the technology city of India where countless top Indian IT elites strive in this city, attracting Western big companies seeking high-quality yet affordable talents. All Indian IT elites take pride in serving these Western giants. At this moment, in a brightly lit towering building in Bangalore, an eruption of shouts occurred. This is the headquarters of the Indian Guild Sky Dragon Eight Parts. As a national key-supported electronic sports project, Sky Dragon Eight Parts carries the nation¡¯s high hopes to enhance India¡¯s international presence significantly. A dark-faced chubby man waved his hand to silence the commotion in the slow building; he is Jalvahan Nehru, the director general who received important intel and hurried to the main attack on the Hell race at the headquarters of Asura Department. Ninor spoke sternly, ¡°Gentlemen, due to the attitude of Chinese players, this National War happening in the China Region has turned into a farce, becoming worthless. Yet, we have still found gold¨Cno, diamonds! This diamond is worth our full efforts! Now, let¡¯s immediately convene an Eight Divisions online chatroom meeting. What we need to do according to the task is to allow this Demoness to release even the simplest Spell! We are the most vigorous country in the world, the most promising country, we have achieved remarkable achievements in various high-tech fields like electronics, aerospace, and nuclear energy, can we remain silent in the e-sports field? Do we have the confidence to let a Demoness cast the simplest spell?¡± ¡°Yes, confidence!¡± The minister waved his hand grandly, ¡°Betting on India¡¯s pride! Betting on India¡¯s honor! With the wisdom of India¡¯s smartest elites and all resources that can be gathered within the Indian Zone, we shall make even a pig cast a spell with the power of the state in the shortest time! We must be the first among all nations, perhaps even before other countries notice!¡± ¡°Yes! Minister!¡± The efficiency of Indian elites is well-known. Within just a minute, the Sky Dragon Eight Parts chatroom meeting started. Nehru shared a screenshot of the task in the chat group, ¡°Gentlemen, the discussion begins! Please suggest constructive ideas!¡± Jinnaluo Department Director: ¡°Based on our research on the local Elf Clan, near the World Tree there must be a miraculous facility like the Ancient Wisdom Tree. Although the World Tree is an instance with multiple spaces, including underground places possibly reaching spaces with the Wisdom Tree. The Demon Race are experts in space, and a Demon Race NPC can definitely find such spaces. If we manage to bring that demoness to the space where the Wisdom Tree is, perhaps a miracle will happen, and finding the Wisdom Tree will also greatly benefit us players.¡± Nehru nodded, ¡°Great suggestion, but first, she must be able to cast a spell, otherwise she might not be able to leave the house.¡± Sky Department Director: ¡°There is an Alchemy Wisdom Potion in Mage Academy City that temporarily increases Hero knowledge. Although expensive and uncertain whether it works on non-heroes, it is worth a try.¡± Nehru nodded, ¡°Excellent suggestion. Money is not an issue; purchase it immediately and transport it to Asura¡¯s area for immediate exchange.¡± Yaksha Department Director: ¡°Rank B treasure, Book of Enlightenment! It can increase all Magic Skills skill levels of heroes up to Master Level and adds 2 points of knowledge. Perhaps it can allow a non-hero who knows nothing to learn basic skills?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Great! Further discussion!¡± For a moment, the conference room was lively with contributions, and with every command issued, the departments¡¯ members immediately started to act. Shortly, all departments finished brainstorming collectively. Nehru concluded, ¡°The growth of a hero is definitely not as easy as imagined, so Hell Race team members of the Asura Department, be prepared for the combat of the Heroic Trial!¡± ¡°Yes, minister!¡± (Please vote for us) (To be continued.

Chapter 124 - Chapter 124 Chapter 121 Wisdom Ancient Tree Chapter 124: Chapter 121 Wisdom Ancient Tree Chapter 124: Chapter 121 Wisdom Ancient Tree With a piercing scream, the 6th insect nest crumbled, and Da Fei finally felt relieved. This battle came right after defeating the 5th insect nest, when Selvia leveled up to 25, restored her full Mana, and learned the important Meditation Skill sub-skill, Mysterious Training. (Mysterious Training: Reduces Mana consumption by 20% during hero¡¯s spellcasting.) In this battle, the Druid and most of the Flower Demons ran out of Mana; the troops were stuck in a bitter fight, surrounded by swarms of insects, and after dozens of casualties, they eventually triumphed. Selvia didn¡¯t cast any spells during this battle, relying on the old lady and five Forest Goddesses to sustain them through their spellcasting. Selvia saved all her Mana for resurrecting the troops after the battle. Now, a vast expanse of golden light sprinkled down, resurrecting all the dead troops. However, without exception, they were all in a weakened state, no longer capable of further combat and had to rest to restore their Mana and recover from weakness. Following the old lady¡¯s suggestion, Da Fei opened up the exquisitely stored wines and food in the kitchen, allowing his troops to feast heartily, then they headed off to the dormitory to sleep. The advantage of dormitory rest is that one wakes up in a fully restored state. Nevertheless, the Flying¡¯s dormitory only had 200 beds, naturally prioritized for those resurrected, Flower Demons, Druids, and other spellcasting units. As for the mixed-gender sleeping arrangements typical of a game, there was no need to mind. Actually, the Flower Demons could sleep in the repaired barracks. As for Jungle Hunters, these elite forest troops could make do with sleeping in corridor cargo areas. In any case, both the human and horse forces were exhausted, and even Da Fei was drained. Having been at the Pool of Radiance up to this point, Da Fei couldn¡¯t remember how long it had been since he last closed his eyes to sleep. Log off, sleep. Forcing his spirit, Da Fei clicked to shop in the marketplace and bought a Divine Sanctuary, and used it. ¨CSystem Prompt: Sorry! You are currently in an Epic Quest scene and cannot log off normally. You may enable offline mode and entrust your troops to a Vice Hero. Ah Pu! A mouthful of old blood spurt forth, dispelling Da Fei¡¯s sleepiness! Can players even survive this? This is addiction, obsession, an illness, it needs treatment! However, under these circumstances, it was essentially like entering Lord mode. When the Lord logs off, NPC vice lords manage online. There were no other choices; everything had to be entrusted to Catherine. At this point, it all depended on the Vice Hero¡¯s intelligence. For now, all Da Fei could do was stay calm, trust his own judgment, trust the intelligence of his beloved, trust the capabilities of the Dragon Slayer, trust that he would get a good sleep, and indeed must get a good sleep, as more arduous tasks awaited him tomorrow. ¡­.. When Da Fei could no longer resist logging off, players from various time zones around the world were active to varying degrees. China Region¡¯s National War battlefield had become the focus of the world and already left a poor initial impression with allied countries of the Hell Race. The Military Factory was destroyed, the offensive stalled, with nothing to do; Chinese players were uncooperative, and the objectives and rewards of the battlefield mission were unclear, participation was to be approached with caution. Major international groups had not appeared yet. The Indian Zone was the quickest to publicly declare its stance: the boring National War was not worth the investment. In contrast, various wartime discussions seemed so self-consumed on Chinese forums, where moderators began massive deletion of unruly posts. Amidst these voices of disapproval and disdain, an Indian player quietly teleported to Demon Flame City, then headed straight for the Pool of Radiance frontline. This player was naturally coming from the Indian Zone to deliver goods to Aamirhan. The National War battlefield operates with a one-way Teleportation Gate; those who come can¡¯t return until the war ends. After receiving the cargo, Aamirhan began organizing operations. As for the new Indian colleague, he was dancing the India dance in the camp, attracting attention from players of various countries for a moment, bringing rounds of applause ¨C the India dance was sweeping the world. Indeed, his goal was to attract as much attention as possible, ensuring Aamirhan¡¯s sneak-in was foolproof. Now, Aamirhan climbed to the window, romantically like seeing a princess in a high tower¡¯s castle: ¡°I¡¯m back, my moon, for you, I¡¯ve put in my all! I hope these items can help you!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have gifted the Book of Enlightenment to Deirdre. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have gifted the Wisdom Alchemy Potion to Deirdre. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have gifted the Sharp Thinking Gem to Deirdre. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have gifted the Dark Scroll to Deirdre. ¡­.. Faced with such generous gifts, Deirdre¡¯s heart thumped with excitement: ¡°Thank you so much! With all these treasures, I think I can do it!¡± ¡°Stay strong, my moon!¡± Aamirhan anxiously watched the Demoness preparing to perform, while actually, the mid-high level officials of the entire Indian Zone¡¯s Eight Heavenly Dragons were nervously watching the Demoness on the large screen in the command center, the tense and serious atmosphere like that of a space mission control center during a rocket launch. Deirdre¡¯s body glimmered, the result of the stacked BUFF effects from the treasures and potions. ¡°The treasures are effective! The potions are effective!¡± For a moment, all the ministers in the command center clenched their fists excitedly! Deirdre held up the textbooks to cast a spell, black mist steamed out, then suddenly dissipated. The spellcasting failed! Deirdre stood frozen on the spot! The entire Indian Command Center fell into dead silence! Deirdre¡¯s trembling body began to sob: ¡°Do I really not have the aptitude? Can¡¯t I cast even the simplest curse spell despite receiving so many treasures?¡± At this time, the Chief Minister of the Indian Command Center, Nehru, made a decisive call, ¡°If the system has issued a task, then it can definitely be achieved. Implement plan number 2!¡± Aamirhan immediately said, ¡°Oh, my most beautiful moon, please don¡¯t cry, the entire night sky is sad for you! I still have one way, you can do it, you definitely can!¡± Deirdre stopped sobbing in surprise: ¡°What way?¡± Aamirhan said solemnly, ¡°Listen carefully, the World Tree is a very ancient existence on the surface world, connecting multiple spaces, multiple worlds. The fruits it bears, once matured, will also fall into certain spaces, turning these fruits into seeds, slowly growing, over a thousand years, ten thousand years, they become the famous Wisdom Ancient Trees. Mortals encountering an Ancient Tree will be enlightened by its wisdom, gaining an enhancement in intelligence. And this here is the World Tree, this area is most likely to find Wisdom Ancient Trees nearby, they must be in some space nearby. Your mentor is filled with immense wisdom, he must know the whereabouts of the Wisdom Ancient Trees¡¯ space!¡± Deirdre exclaimed in surprise: ¡°Do you mean, I should visit the Wisdom Ancient Tree?¡± Aamirhan nodded and said, ¡°Exactly. Any mortal who is fortunate enough to meet the Wisdom Ancient Tree can visit it; it does not care about the visitor¡¯s race.¡± Deirdre nodded, resolute, ¡°Okay! I will ask my mentor, hero, can you join me?¡± Aamirhan jubilantly replied, ¡°Yes! I will wait for you at Lord Siriel¡¯s place!¡± ¨C¡°No need!¡± A commanding voice resounded, followed by an explosion of flames, Siriel appeared at the Watchtower. Deirdre exclaimed in terror, ¡°Mentor!¡± Siriel pointed at Aamirhan, ¡°Come up here!¡± Caught off guard, Aamirhan was instantly teleported into the Watchtower room by a flash of white light. At this moment, the entire Indian Command Center erupted in excitement! As top-tier gamers, such an incident naturally signified a major plot twist. Siriel turned his gaze to the trembling Deirdre: ¡°Today is the deadline for your assessment. If you fail, I will expel you. Clearly, you cannot do it, and that¡¯s your fault!¡± Deirdre pleaded in terror, ¡°Mentor, please, give me one more chance! Even if I fail, I can still excel in other areas and will never disgrace your wise mentorship!¡± Siriel waved his hand: ¡°Right, adapting to the situation and seeking help by any means necessary is your strength, or rather, it¡¯s in the nature of the Banshee Race. If a student has strengths that remain buried, then it¡¯s the mentor¡¯s mistake.¡± Deirdre joyously said, ¡°Thank you, mentor! Thank you, mentor!¡± Siriel¡¯s gaze then shifted to Aamirhan: ¡°Young Demon, I am quite impressed that you know so much about the Wisdom Ancient Tree!¡± Aamirhan hurriedly replied, ¡°You flatter me, sir.¡± Siriel, engulfed in flames, bellowed, ¡°Honestly, I too wish to visit the Wisdom Ancient Tree, and I certainly know which nearby Otherworld has the Wisdom Ancient Tree! But¨C¡± Aamirhan ecstatically exclaimed, ¡°Please command, sir! No matter how difficult, there¡¯s nothing I cannot do!¡± Siriel nodded, ¡°Good, since you understand the difficulty of the task, I will give you three days to conquer the Ancient Tree Space. If there¡¯s no progress in three days, I will close the Teleportation Gate. The situation at the front is rapidly changing, and I carry great responsibilities; I cannot afford to divert too much attention to a tree!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have received the Limited Time Side Quest ¡°Visit the Wisdom Ancient Tree¡± from ¡°Hero¡¯s Road¡±! ¨CTask Hint: Wisdom Ancient Tree exists in a certain Otherworld. The Demon¡¯s power can open the gate leading to that space. Prepare thoroughly, for the Ancient Guardians of the Wisdom Ancient Tree are powerful and should not be underestimated by the Demons! You have only three days. Aamirhan jubilantly declared, ¡°I will make it happen!¡± Deirdre joyously said, ¡°Thank you, mentor!¡± Siriel coldly stated, ¡°Are you prepared to make sacrifices?¡± Deirdre gritted her teeth and resolutely replied, ¡°Yes!¡± Siriel coughed and said, ¡°Right, I have a friend who I would like to ask for help, but she is very introverted and hard to persuade. She¡¯s only interested in killing machines, could you lend me your Crossbow Cannon? Then I can have her come over.¡± Deirdre, taken aback, said, ¡°My Crossbow Cannon?¡± Siriel stated coldly, ¡°It¡¯s better than you dying in the Ancient Tree Space and losing the Crossbow Cannon for nothing.¡± Aamirhan immediately said, ¡°Rest assured, sir, we will not let the lady be harmed!¡± Deirdre chuckled, ¡°Since it¡¯s a request from my mentor, I must obey!¡± She then pulled out the mechanism bag and handed it to Siriel. Siriel highly satisfied, stated, ¡°Good! Go prepare. After you gather your people, I will summon all the Mage Apprentices in the camp to conduct the ritual to open the gate for you.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Aamirhan jubilantly responded, ¡°Yes, sir!¡± Oh yeah!!! The entire Indian Command Center was boiling with excitement! Minister Nehru fervently ordered, ¡°All members of the Asura Department, get in position, check supplies, check forces. Two minutes from now, move out!¡± ¡°Yes, Minister!¡± (Please vote for various tickets!)(To be continued.

Chapter 125 - Chapter 125 Chapter 122 India Leads the World Chapter 125: Chapter 122: India Leads the World Chapter 125: Chapter 122: India Leads the World In the game, there are some important facilities that can enhance players¡¯ strategic attributes or impart skills. For example, the famous Grand Library, which every national capital has. +2 to attack, defense, and magic knowledge attributes, equivalent to levelling up a player by 4 levels. And it applies to the accompanying Vice Heroes as well. But visiting the Grand Library is not easy, as there are various prestige requirements. Then there¡¯s the Grand Arena, where players can choose +2 attack or defense, with no prestige requirements; players just need to beat the NPC of the arena. So far, no player has achieved this. Also, there¡¯s the Magic Tower, which nearly every Main City has, giving players a choice of +1 magic power or knowledge, of course, also with the respective city¡¯s prestige requirements. Then there¡¯s the observatory for +1 magic power, the Garden of Knowledge for +1 knowledge, the War Academy for +1 attack and defense, and so on. That is to say, even a level 0 player who has achieved amazing prestige in all the cities of the alliance can visit all facilities, ultimately attaining an astonishingly fearsome level of attributes. Some facilities appear in the wild, such as the Witch Hut, which teaches players a skill or raises the Skill Level, up to Master Level. If one is already a master, it directly awards a Skill Point. Then there¡¯s the Wisdom Ancient Tree, the most elusive facility in the wild. In fact, it doesn¡¯t exist on the map of Hero Continent at all; it can only be encountered in Otherworld as part of a quest mode. Once encountered, it grants various rewards such as Experience, Skills, and attribute points. Demon Flame City, though its initial bustle has cooled, is still thriving. At the city square, stalls of casual players from various countries are scattered around, resembling a grand international metropolis. This also attracted a large number of Chinese players from the China Region with surplus funds and the ability to use Teleportation Gates to come and take a look at the goods. Just then, the light of the Gate of Hell at the Teleportation Square flashed wildly, a clear sign of a large troop¡¯s arrival. For a moment, reporters from all over turned their cameras towards the Teleportation Square. A great burst of white light shot into the sky! The entire city¡¯s attention involuntarily focused there. A massive group of players under the flag with orange, white, and green appeared! Such an orderly and grand appearance instantly shocked everyone: ¡°Who the hell are these guys?!¡± The reporters who came to their senses exclaimed: ¡°Indian Zone! The Indian main force has been deployed!¡± These hundreds, nearly a thousand players, went straight for the city gates without a moment¡¯s pause, kicking up dust and displaying formidable momentum! In an instant, the entire Demon Flame City was shaken, the China Region was shaken, and all the world zones that received the news were shaken! India? It¡¯s actually India? Why India? For a moment, all countries, especially Japan, were utterly bewildered! Internationally, India has always been very active, but never at the forefront, always following someone else¡¯s lead. Now, with the situation being a mess, countries were biding their time, and India had also publicly stated that this war was pointless. How could they change their tune in just a few minutes? Without hesitation, they deployed their main force? Make no mistake, a nearly thousand player force capable of reaching the 10,000 Merit registration criteria is an absolute main force in any service area! What exactly does India want to do? Suddenly, Japan, the United States, and Russia sent inquiries to the Indian Zone without delay. At this very moment, Nehru, who personally led the troops, felt infinitely content. The feeling of shaking the world, the focus of the world, the solicitude from the world, especially from the United States ¨C exhilarating! This is what it feels like to be a great nation, this is India¡¯s glory! Facing inquiries from ally countries, Nehru smugly responded with a smirk: ¡°Aren¡¯t we just here for the National War? Why shouldn¡¯t we deploy?¡± And India¡¯s sudden charge instantly blew up the previously censored forums with posts like ¡°Is India Coming to Conquer the World?¡± and ¡°Can Even the Pool of Radiance Not Stop India?¡± Faced with India¡¯s offensive, all countries immediately prepared comprehensively, with spies in each city following the trail. Everyone knew there weren¡¯t many things in the world that could prompt India to take the lead voluntarily. Historically, the rare occasions India took such a stance, one led to a blow from China, and the other forced Pakistan to reveal its nuclear arsenal. Since then, India had stayed low-key! What immense interests could cause such a resolute deployment? The world awaited with bated breath. For China, as the host, there were no concerns, and it was time for the Dragon Slayer Guild, which had been holding back all day, to flex its influence! Ma Yinglong personally posted on the forum ¡°All Hell Race players from the China Region, India is coming to conquer the world! Let¡¯s witness the grand moment India conquers the world, let¡¯s follow in India¡¯s footsteps, armed and ready! That¡¯s a long title!¡± ¡ª World Channel [Dragon Scale]: All Hell Race members of Dragon Slayer Guild, full mobilization to follow India! All Hell Race players of the China Region, please step out together! Demon Flame City was stirred! Those casual players who coordinated well before the battle and those wandering around the stalls moved with the wind. A mighty flow of players proudly bearing the Five-star Red Flag merged into an outgoing red deluge, roaring towards the direction where India had left a trail of dust. The grand scene caused the street vendors from various countries to pack up their stalls one after another, unable to contain their curiosity as they joined the main force. Right! It¡¯s the players¡¯ curiosity, the urge to join in on the excitement. It¡¯s unrealistic to think that the Dragon Slayer Guild could mobilize so many ordinary players with their influence alone. What the Dragon Slayer Guild tapped into was the herd mentality of players who love a crowd and excitement. With the right mobilization and guidance, even the largest groups can be moved. To outsiders, this is the influence and appeal of the Dragon Slayer Guild. Chinese players were also on the move, their vast numbers worthy of the title of the largest nation of players in the world, and the entire world was shocked once again! What do the Chinese want to do? What have the Chinese found? What exactly have these two countries discovered? Japan couldn¡¯t sit still any longer! Had the leadership position of the Japan region been completely snatched by the Indians and Chinese?! President Igarashi immediately called Ma Yinglong: ¡°Mr. Ma, what exactly is happening?¡± You¡¯re asking me? How would I know what¡¯s happening? Ma Yinglong feigned a knowing smile as if he understood everything: ¡°Mr. Igarashi, why don¡¯t you ask Mr. India? They know more.¡± Igarashi just said, ¡°Oh!¡± before hanging up the phone. Ma Yinglong was taken aback. You understand? Understand what? In the Demon Flame City¡¯s Teleportation Square, the Demon Light flashed wildly again, and a pillar of white light rose into the sky, with thousands of red plasters bearing the flag appearing! Reporters went crazy: ¡°The Japanese! The Japanese region is here!! The Japanese have come!!¡± Demon Flame City shook! The China Region shook!! The World Zone shook!!! The top force of this National War, the Japan region, had finally mobilized! That¡¯s correct. Although the Japanese didn¡¯t know what was happening, they knew that if they missed out on this grand event, they would lose their leadership position and become a laughing stock, who couldn¡¯t lift their heads in front of the world. Even if they knew nothing, they had to pretend as if they did. At least tactically, they and their allies the Indian Zone had the China Region¡¯s main force surrounded, which was definitely advantageous. So they immediately followed suit. Meanwhile, in a bar in Los Angeles, SawSaw scribbled furiously: ¡°Fuck! Fuck! Don¡¯t ask me what¡¯s happened! I haven¡¯t found anything! Who knows what the Indians and Chinese are up to?!¡± ¡°Boss! The main force of the Japan region has mobilized!¡± ¡°FUCK! FUCK! What are the Japanese trying to do behind our backs now?¡± Other team members asked one after another: ¡°Boss? Should we do something?¡± Team leader Howell downed the beer in his bottle: ¡°Are you ready!!!¡± ¡°YES, SIR!!!¡± At Howell¡¯s command: ¡°Let¡¯s go!!!¡± (Kick some ass!) As the Teleportation Array of Demon Flame City erupted once more, the American Zone had arrived!!! The whole planet began to scream! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only In that moment, Nehru, leading the initiative, went pale: ¡°What are they trying to do?¡± At that moment, Ma Yinglong, caught in a pincer between India and Japan, was sweating profusely: ¡°If we act, Japan dies first!¡± In that moment, facing the accusations of the American Zone, President Igarashi also started sweating profusely as he parroted Ma Yinglong¡¯s evasive tone: ¡°The Indians know more!¡± In that moment, Howell, trailing behind the Japanese, raised his middle finger from a distance: ¡°Fuck your ass!!!¡± (Please vote for all kinds!)

Chapter 126 - Chapter 126 Chapter 123 Attack on Wisdom Ancient Tree Space Chapter 126: Chapter 123 Attack on Wisdom Ancient Tree Space Chapter 126: Chapter 123 Attack on Wisdom Ancient Tree Space When the American Zone mobilizes, it signifies the opening shot of the National War. Consequently, the European Union took action, the sparsely populated Hell Race in South Korea moved as well, and Russia, coming over to ¡®pay a visit¡¯, also stirred. All nations and all players registered for war got wind of it and were mobilized. Although everyone was in the dark about what exactly was happening, wouldn¡¯t a quick visit unravel these military secrets? Presumably, it¡¯s a general offensive. Thus, this parade, akin to the Emperor¡¯s New Clothes where nobody wanted to be seen as ignorant and lose face for their country, roared forth with tacit understanding, enveloping the route with dust and grandeur towards, the final destination: the square of the Demon Camp. The moment of truth was finally unveiled¨Cit was a call to grand action! The flames roaring, Siriel started pulling one leading Mage from each Watchtower to set up a massive Array in the square. The team from the Indian Zone stood majestically by the Array, waiting eagerly. Then the China Region arrived and stood beside them, with the players from the China Region stretching all the way to the entrance. The players from the China Region and India glanced at each other, chuckling¨Cafter all, everyone here was a top player, no explanations needed. Then the Japan Zone and the American Zone followed, with players from various nations arriving one after another. In no time, the Demon Camp was swarmed with tens of thousands of players. Of course, for the large guilds and battle teams, a gathering of tens of thousands was a mere trifle. Players from various countries squeezed forward to the front of the Array, causing constant commotion. Seeing everyone appearing to understand what was at stake, a herd of metaphorical alpacas stampeded through Nehru¡¯s heart! What exactly went wrong? Had our operations been discovered in advance? Could it be that others also received the quest to nurture heroes after us? It seemed impossible. Aamirhan had always been in the camp, with no one else contacting the Banshee. But now, the Banshee was right by Siriel¡¯s side¨Ccould someone seize this chance to snatch the quest? Amid Nehru¡¯s unsettled mind, the Array was finally set up. Demons are master teleporters, barely needing Siriel to act personally. Seeing warriors from all different nations congregate at the Demon Camp, Siriel was immensely reassured. He walked to the center of the Array, detonated a Fireball to silence the whispers across the field, and with a commanding voice that reverberated through the camp, announced: ¡°Welcome warriors from various planes. Today, your arrival is most timely, and it seems you all greatly seek wisdom. Therefore, I see no reason to not grant your wishes. I give you three days¨Cgo forth!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: The battlefield merit task ¡°Attack on the Wisdom Ancient Tree Space¡± is about to commence, please prepare for entry into the Otherworld! Suddenly, the audience could no longer hold back their act and burst into fervor¨CIt turned out to be the Wisdom Ancient Tree! Everyone being high-level players, certainly knew what the Wisdom Ancient Tree implied! It meant a boost in attribute points, skills, levels, and more! No wonder the entire Indian Zone was mobilized¨Cif their entire team visited, it meant an overall strengthening of the Indian Zone¡¯s power! Of course, the most crucial aspect was that after visiting the Ancient Tree, players could receive inspirations for advanced Master Skills! These inspirations might not benefit every player, but with such a large team and many professional players, the chances of gaining enhancements were much higher than for ordinary players. Still, despite the abundant benefits, was it really worth mobilizing an entire army? The leaders of various countries were internally dubious. But seeing the battlefield merit task prompt, the Indian Zone was inwardly ecstatic! Their own task had not faced any threats, but instead, they gained many more helpers! Nehru, with graceful composure, stepped out from the crowd and bowed to everyone, stating: ¡°Hello everyone! I am Jalvahan Nehru, head of the Eight Heavenly Dragons Guild from the Indian Zone. I am delighted to meet friends from different countries in this significant event. The discovery of the Wisdom Ancient Tree was entirely unexpected. I regard it as an extra reward for our national battle event, an unforgettable memory, and a worthwhile pursuit for this event. Let¡¯s all make an effort together!¡± As the first to discover the task, India surely had more benefits! Internally, leaders from other countries cursed. As an ally and a leader, Igarashi from Japan immediately stood out: ¡°Mr. Nehru is right, this national battle is imperative for us, and obtaining the reward of visiting the Ancient Tree during it is indeed a joyous occasion.¡± The Japan Zone clapped enthusiastically, followed by a round of applause from the Indian Zone. ¡°FUCK!¡± Howell, feeling deceived, cursed under his breath, but joined in the applause nonetheless. Ma Yinglong, with a grim face, had no choice but to signal, ¡°Applaud!¡± At this moment, the light from the Teleportation Array blazed, and Siriel exclaimed: ¡°Warriors, the gate to the Otherworld has opened, advance!¡± Leading the charge, the Indian Zone entered the Array first, with players from various countries following rapidly, causing the light to flash continuously. ¨C¡°Hello everyone! I¡¯m the front-line reporter, Witch 007, from Hero News. Currently, I¡¯m using the account of a member of the Dragon Slayer Guild at the Demon Camp to broadcast live to you. As this operation might involve secrets, we cannot provide real-time updates. Anyway, please wait a bit, I¡¯m now entering the Teleportation Gate to follow up with the report. Here, thanks to Midnight Moore for lending the account¡­¡± ¡­ The scene shifts, and over ten thousand players enter a vast prairie shimmering with emerald light, where all players¡¯ Hell Race troops are arrayed across the field, stretching as far as the eye can see, a sea of fiery red Hell Army. Such military power could shake mountains and shake hills! In the crowd, countless flashlights go off as players from various countries start taking pictures to commemorate this historic moment! Right, the advantage of the Hell Army has always been to roll over everything on the plains. How annoying is it to fight water battles like in the Pool of Radiance? At the very center of the prairie stands a gigantic tree with human facial features. That¡¯s the one! Circling the trunk of the giant tree are countless birds, everyone takes out binoculars and, oh! My God! The Crystal Jade Dragon at the roots and many little stone men, the Mountain Giant! Oh! My God! Crystal Jade Dragon: Elf Clan Level 7 elite unit, Attack 30, Defense 46, Health 300, Attack Speed 9, Damage 40-70, Magic Resistance 90%, Special Skills: Flying Creature, Light Breath, Spirit Immunity, Master-level Defense Skill, Crushing Charge. Mountain Giant: Neutral Level 7 troop, Attack 14, Defense 70, Health 500, Attack Speed 7, Move Speed 12, Damage 23-56, Magic Resistance 90%, Special Skills: Grandmaster Defense Skill, Sweeping Attack, Dazing Strike, Spirit Immunity. After the initial excitement, all players start to feel nervous! The so-called shaking mountains and shaking hills depend on who you¡¯re fighting! Although these troops are wild troops without hero leadership, each unit be it a batch-killing dragon or a row-sweeping giant, how to fight? No, no, no, they can definitely be defeated, even if it means getting drowned, but the key is, who goes first? On such a huge battlefield, it¡¯s not possible for everyone to rush in at once, there will surely be cannon fodder charging to the front. Igarashi from the Japan stands out among the crowd, and all eyes from players of various countries are on him. Right, it¡¯s time for the Japan to play a leading role. Igarashi loudly says, ¡°We¡¯ve come a long way, to China, to support the China Region in battle, so, as the host, China Region should show some initiative!¡± Immediately, the scene erupts with both applause and boos. Bullshit! Do they think players from the China Region are fools? Lei Huolong (Ma Yinglong on his account) steps forward with a smile, ¡°Our Hell Race¡¯s strength in the China Region isn¡¯t that great, it¡¯s really hard for us to take on such responsibility, I suggest since this task was taken on by the Indian Zone, they should lead the charge!¡± Mr. Nehru hurriedly objects: ¡°No, no, no, this is for everyone¡¯s benefit, I think, as the host, the China Region should go first!¡± Ma Yinglong looks towards the Japan: ¡°Let the strongest, the Japan, go first. If you guys don¡¯t dare, the players of the China Region will be very disappointed! I believe the players from all around the world would feel the same.¡± All Chinese players burst into applause! Ma Yinglong is extremely satisfied inside, it¡¯s a live broadcast right now, he firmly stands by the nation¡¯s interests, how many points should this add to Dragon Slayer huh! Right, now is the stage for the Dragon Slayer Guild! You Star, you Ninth Heaven, stand by and watch! Igarashi immediately responds, ¡°We in the Japan fear nothing, however, as reinforcements, guest usurping host isn¡¯t proper, and it damages the image of the host nation China, which is known for its etiquette! Moreover, there has never been a millennia-old tradition in China of letting guest troops lead.¡± Mr. Nehru quickly chimes in: ¡°Exactly, exactly! If India, or Japan were the host, we would definitely lead by example.¡± Ma Yinglong frowns tightly, it seems he¡¯s being cornered with no way out. Whatever he says now, opponents will grasp a handle to criticize him, leaving curses at home, it would be all too easy to slip up. So it¡¯s better to avoid verbal entanglements to not leave any verbal mistakes. Ma Yinglong chuckles, ¡°How about this: we play rock-paper-scissors! What does the American Zone think about that?! How about American Zone goes first, players from all around the world are eagerly anticipating American Zone to deliver a Hollywood-level epic battle!¡± Picking a quarrel, huh? Ganging up to corner me? I¡¯ll drag the American Zone into this. If the American Zone also dares to shrink back telling the China Region to go ahead, then great, our China Region will stand up and proudly take on the role of world leader for once! After all America¡¯s status is something neither Japan nor India can compare with, and if the American Zone backs down, that changes the nature of the matter. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Howell, without a second thought, laughs: ¡°You guys go rock-paper-scissors!¡± Damn you! Trying to mess with me, huh? Alright! Ma Yinglong laughs heartily: ¡°Did you hear that? The American Zone said rock-paper-scissors, let¡¯s go rock-paper-scissors!¡± Suddenly, Igarashi and Nehru turn pale! Hmph! You try to mess with me, dare to mess with America? Dare to ignore what America says? Now, the whole world¡¯s attention is on this ¡°nation-defining¡± gamble involving three people! Ma Yinglong, sweating nervously, no matter what, within his capabilities, can only defend the nation up to this point. When it comes to it, his decision that ties to the fate of his nation, this status, this position, also greatly differs. (Seeking various support) (To be continued.

Chapter 127: Chapter 124: Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here! The competition begins! ¨C¡°Rock!¡± ¡°Scissors!¡± ¡°Paper!¡± In the first round, all three threw rock, scissors, paper, resulting in a tie! The entire plain erupted in a collective sigh! The three were drenched in cold sweat! Suddenly, Ma Yinglong thought of a serious matter. If he lost, would those non-guild ordinary players obey? Could there be a riot? If a riot occurred, wouldn¡¯t the Dragon Slayer Guild lose all prestige and become a laughingstock? Wait! What was he thinking when he proposed rock-paper-scissors? Was he thinking about the glory in winning, and that losing would only mean losing cannon fodder, which wouldn¡¯t matter as the Chinese Hell area was insignificantly weak anyway? ¨C¡°Scissors!¡± ¡°Rock!¡± ¡°Paper!¡± The second round, a tie again!! The plains were astounded once more! Ma Yinglong began to tremble all over! That¡¯s right! He was used to being the chairman who summoned storms, because all under him were his guild members, who had to listen to him. Now, meanwhile, the Dragon Slayer¡¯s influence was weak in Hell Power, most people here weren¡¯t his guild members, they followed him just to take advantage of the situation, not to stupidly die and let foreigners reap the benefits! If lost, the consequences of their uprising would be unimaginable! Suddenly, Ma Yinglong realized what a grave mistake he had made! He couldn¡¯t lose! He absolutely must not lose! The third round! ¨C¡°Rock!¡± ¡°Scissors!¡± ¡°Scissors!¡± The outcome is decided! The entire plain went suddenly silent, then roared to life! Players from the entire China Region erupted! He won! I won! A rock crushes two scissors! I won! Ma Yinglong couldn¡¯t contain his excitement, he waved his fists and shouted in salute to the players of the China Region! This victory was not just for the guild¡¯s future! No, it was about preserving the guild¡¯s future¨Csuch an event must never happen again! So stupid, so foolish, it was just like seeking humiliation! At this moment, Ma Yinglong felt like crying and slapping himself! Why had it come to this, all because he had been tricked by these Japanese and Indian players! Now, Ma Yinglong laughed heartily looking at the two stunned men, ¡°You allied against me just now? Now fight amongst yourselves, haha, wahahaha!¡± At this moment, players in the entire China Region burst into hearty laughter and revelry. At this moment, Igarashi and Nehru looked at each other, dumbfounded, the loser would emerge from their duel! ¨C¡°Enough! There¡¯s not much time, the joke¡¯s over now!¡± Howell from the American Zone suddenly spoke. ¡°What? A joke?¡± Ma Yinglong couldn¡¯t help but stare in astonishment. Like seeing saviors, Igarashi and Nehru also looked over excitedly. Howell laughed heartily: ¡°Isn¡¯t it a joke? Since it¡¯s for everyone¡¯s benefit, the fairest and most acceptable solution is for everyone to send a part of their people to form a vanguard suicide squad, isn¡¯t that right? Such a simple thing, even a kindergarten ShitBoy could think of it, right?¡± Igarashi and Nehru shouted excitedly: ¡°Right, right, right, Captain America is right, we were just joking, just livening up the atmosphere, wahahaha ahaha!¡± Instantly, the entire place responded with roaring laughter: ¡°Yes! That¡¯s more fun!¡± At the same time, the players in the China Region burst into angry curses: ¡°Bullshit it¡¯s fun!¡± In that moment, to Ma Yinglong, it felt as though all the foreign players on the plain had turned into damn fools! Playing me, right? Now the whole world thinks I¡¯m sillier than a mischievous kid, right? If I had lost, would anyone call it a joke? I¡¯d have to accept the loss and risk a riot to become cannon fodder for your benefit, right? Fuming, Lei, another account holder next to Ma Yinglong, spoke up: ¡°Boss, our entire nation¡¯s people have been made fun of. Why not take this opportunity to wipe out all the other countries¡¯ main forces¨C¡± Ma Yinglong¡¯s brow twitched, he sinisterly said: ¡°Fine, even if the whole world unites against us, with our nation¡¯s nuclear weapons in hand, we can still turn the day over for the entire world!¡± After all, wasn¡¯t his initial goal to fight against the whole world? Ma Yinglong turned around and waved at the rowdy crowd of Chinese players, laughing: ¡°It¡¯s alright, just a pair of punches with the mischievous kid to liven things up, soon we will play big. Since most of us are amateur players with limited survival skills in operations, don¡¯t rush to the front, don¡¯t block the paths of foreign professional players, you know what I mean.¡± Having won at rock-paper-scissors was also considered a glory for the nation, thus Ma Yinglong spoke with confidence. For a moment, the crowd responded loudly, everyone understood, after all, everyone was there to take advantage of the situation. At that moment, Howell had already gladly accepted the title of Captain America, stepping forward before thousands and began directing: ¡°The vanguard suicide squad needs at least 200 people, let each major zone¡¯s country take the lead and contribute 30 people each, no objections from the China Region, right?¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled: ¡°No objections, our Dragon Slayer Guild can spare 30 members!¡± Igarashi excitedly said: ¡°We¡¯ll contribute 40 people!¡± Nehru not to be outdone: ¡°We¡¯ll also contribute 40 people!¡± With the vanguard suicide squad assignments complete, Howell then began directing with hands and gestures, and players from various zones and countries dispersed, forming a large fan-shaped formation surrounding the location of the Wisdom Ancient Tree. For a moment, the world¡¯s focus was on Captain America. Undoubtedly, as a veteran from a military powerhouse, his command abilities could indeed match no other country¡¯s so-called professional players. Watching him stand out, Ma Yinglong could already imagine the barrage of criticism and hissing on the forums at this moment. Clutching the counterfeit Flame Sword in his bag, which was like pressing the red button on a black box, Ma Yinglong felt fantastic! The formation is set, and the battle begins! Captain America waved his hand mightily, and the vanguard suicide squad of 200 players led nearly 20,000 low-level soldiers in a head-on charge! For a moment, the flashes of cameras from players around the world illuminated the mountainous area, everyone wanting to capture this glorious moment! The Ancient Tree Guardians moved out, with nearly a thousand Mountain Giants like a huge wall of stone, their footsteps thunderous, they advanced with an overwhelming presence. At the same time, thousands of Crystal Jade Dragons in the sky dived down like rows of bombers. ¨CBoom! Crash! The plains shook, and blood and flesh flew about. The Dragon Breath from the Crystal Jade Dragons, like a poison fog enveloping the plains, the Demon Child Horned Demon Hellhounds struggled and screamed in the mist before collapsing. This is the special aspect of the Crystal Jade Dragon¡¯s Breath, which includes a fog effect similar to the Poison Dragon¡¯s Breath. Hence, even those troops not directly hit by the breath couldn¡¯t escape their fate. As for those directly hit, they were instantly wiped out. As the vanguard suicide squad got dispersed, they successfully achieved their objective of breaking up the formation of the monsters. Captain America once again waved his hand, signaling a full assault! The move was made! Hundreds of thousands from the Hellish Alliance Army, like a tidal wave, encircled from all sides, charging into the Crystal fog. Under the leadership of player heroes with attack and defense bonuses, especially with the general level 30 players¡¯ attack enhancements, even level 1, 2, 3 soldiers had their attacks elevated to match those of level 7 soldiers. One by one, isolated Mountain Giants and Crystal Jade Dragons were surrounded and annihilated by focused fire. Against the focused fire control of these world-class top players, these giants and dragons without hero leadership might only get one chance to strike, and although they could take down dozens, or even scores of low-level soldiers with each action, these losses were tolerable. In this overwhelming offensive, the Indian Zone¡¯s dozen-plus team members with hundreds of forces held their position, securely surrounding a NPC apprentice. Everyone knew, this must be a task NPC, surely the Indian Zone¡¯s added advantage. There, far from the center of the battlefield, Ma Yinglong let out a cold snort. More and more Crystal Dragons and Mountain Giants fell, and more and more troops sustaining heavy damages began to retreat from the battlefield. For these veteran troop controllers, unless their forces were instantly annihilated, they could quickly evacuate their injured units from the front lines, so veteran troops often experienced injuries but no deaths. But now, things were different, you¡¯re all injured nicely! Ma Yinglong began to analyze all nations¡¯ troop strengths, especially the casualties of the Japanese forces. After all, the Doomsday only had 10 Magic Power points, capable of causing 600 total damage to a tactical position, so timing was key. Suddenly, Ma Yinglong¡¯s eyebrows twitched, what kind of troops did the Japanese have? Never seen them before? They look powerful? Then they definitely need to be taken out! At that moment, the Wisdom Ancient Tree at the center of the plains suddenly spoke, ¡°After so many years, finally some interesting guests have arrived. However, without undergoing a real test, you will hardly understand my wisdom.¡± The entire field in astonishment? Is this the rhythm of increasing difficulty? Yes, the Multi-National Joint Army used their sheer numbers to breeze through, making it easy for even the player onlookers! It seems this task isn¡¯t so simple after all. Suddenly, a huge swathe of thick black smoke erupted with a resounding buzzing sound that covered the sky and the earth! The entire shining green crystal grassland was suddenly darkened! ¨CSoldier Bee: Neutral level 0 troop type, small bodied creature, Attack 0, Defense 0, Damage 0-1, Life 1, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Honey Collection, Poison Stinger, Siege. ¡°Oh, My God!!!¡± ¡°Oh, shit!!!¡± ¡°Wo Ri !¡± [Holy shit!] Nearly ten thousand players on the plains were stunned! The most terrifying creatures in the game might not necessarily be level 7 troops; even level 7 troops can be overwhelmed by a large number of low-level troops, as just demonstrated. What¡¯s truly terrifying are creatures like the Flower Demon, Soldier Ant, Soldier Bee, Mermaid, similar to the rare Plant Monster, but once encountered, they signify a disaster! Now, with half of the level 7 creatures still not eliminated and a massive swarm of level 0 troops arriving, how could they continue the fight? Ma Yinglong laughed heartily! Just as he was about to discard all pretenses and turn against the world, it seemed he wouldn¡¯t even need to bother now. What perfect timing! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Ma Yinglong pulled out the Flame Sword and shouted, ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid, I¡¯m here!¡± The Flame Sword exploded mightily, a red beam shot into the sky, then the entire sky was awash in red light, and a vortex formed in the swirl, from which a fiery massive meteor descended from the sky! ¡°Oh, My God!!!¡± ¡°What are you doing???¡± [What are you doing??] ¡°A A A A A A !!!¡± [Ahhhhhhhhh!] ¨CBoom!! The earth shook, the whole world was aflame! Red light swathed the vision of all the players! (Soliciting various votes) (To be continued.

Chapter 128 - Chapter 128 Chapter 125 Deirdre Advances to Trial Hero Chapter 128: Chapter 125 Deirdre Advances to Trial Hero Chapter 128: Chapter 125 Deirdre Advances to Trial Hero When the entire Ancient Tree Space turned fiery red, players from all countries watching the live stream were shocked, and the whole world started screaming! The red glow dissipated, the sky cleared, and the ground turned scorched black. The troops that had densely covered the plains were now scattered. And those giants with super-high Magic Resistance, the Crystal Stone Dragons, it was as if nothing had happened to them. Those who should have been down were down, and those who shouldn¡¯t have, weren¡¯t. Ma Yinglong waved his hand, saying with pride, ¡°No need to thank me! Please continue the fight!¡± Curses from each nation erupted in response! Confronted with the menacing Crystal Stone Dragons, Howell Fak cursed loudly and then shouted, ¡°Chinese, you have the strongest remaining forces, it¡¯s time for you to join the battle!¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled and exclaimed, ¡°Players of the Hell Race from the China Region, it¡¯s time for the final battle, it¡¯s time for us to fight. The entire world is watching us, no one can be a coward or let the country down! Charge forward¨Cany soldiers that fall will be compensated by the Dragon Slayer Guild!¡± The victors wouldn¡¯t be blamed; as long as the decisive battle was won, they could show off in front of the world and face other countries¡¯ questions with righteous indignation. Why not? Players from the China Region responded with a roar! With compensation, why hold back? Reluctant to lead the charge, but daring not to follow up? The players from the China Region thundered forward, overwhelming the incoming giant dragons. The game was set! Meanwhile, at the rear of the battlefield guarding Deirdre, a dozen players from the Indian Zone had just calmed their nerves. Nehru had even ordered the battered troops to be pulled back to the rear of the battlefield, encircling Deirdre to ensure she wouldn¡¯t suffer even the slightest injury. As long as the NPC was safe, the loss of any number of soldiers was worth it. As for Igarashi from the Japan Zone, he cursed both the Indians and the Chinese. Their prideful second-tier soldiers hadn¡¯t even had the chance to show their strength to the world before becoming cannon fodder under the combined assault of Dragon Breath and magic. And now, Ma Yinglong was laughing like mad. What does it mean to kill without a trace? Doomsday is the answer! The collateral damage from Doomsday doesn¡¯t count as PK, doesn¡¯t decrease prestige, and kills don¡¯t penalize you. Now that the great powers are out of troops, they are like toothless tigers. What waves can they still make in the China Region? It didn¡¯t matter if players of the Hell Race from other countries just played casually, the key was that the elite troops from the Indian and Japan Zones had all fallen into the trap¨Cperhaps, just as he had told Da Fei, if they tricked the Japanese into the pit, delayed the progress of the National War and prevented them from returning, every additional day they were bothered was another day of annoyance for them. Eventually, they would have only one way out: to abandon the National War at the cost of their Merit! At this time, forums from each country exploded in uproar, and under Ma Yinglong¡¯s guidance, the shills in the forums of the China Region were out full force, with posts like ¡°Wherever the Dragon Slayer emerges, heaven and earth burn,¡± ¡°With fragile troops, the Dragon Slayer Guild exhibits our national might,¡± and ¡°The Dragon Slayer Guild slaughters America, Japan, and India¡± blanketing the internet. In a flash, the might of the Dragon Slayer Guild soared in the China Region. Many ordinary players from the Hell Zone flocked to register as members on the Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s website. Ma Yinglong¡¯s glory was unparalleled, with various studios and friends sending him congratulatory messages. ¡­ ¡ª System Prompt: Battlefield Merit quest ¡°Assault on the Wisdom Ancient Tree Space¡± successfully completed! You have gained +500,000 Experience, +1,000 Merit, and +5,000 reputation with the Hell Race¡­ When the last giant dragon on the battlefield fell, a thunderous cheer erupted on the plains! Players from all countries couldn¡¯t wait to rush to the Wisdom Ancient Tree, with a dazzling display of golden lights signifying rewards and enlightenment happening all at once. And for the Indian Zone, none of it mattered, as successfully advancing Deirdre to the next stage was the ultimate victory. Now, as the battered formation of Indian soldiers escorted Deirdre to the Ancient Tree, tension filled the Indian Command Center. ¨C¡°Mortal, what wisdom do you seek from me?¡± Deirdre said with excitement, ¡°Oh wise Ancient Tree, I wish to gain the wisdom to become a hero!¡± The Ancient Tree spoke solemnly, ¡°Then what do you think a hero is?¡± Deirdre replied with passion, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s to be immortal, undying!¡± The Ancient Tree sighed, ¡°That¡¯s why you cannot become a true hero! You¡¯re using the concept of a hero as a means to avoid death, you¡¯ve entirely misunderstood the true meaning of a hero, you merely lack courage! Go now, pursue the true Hero¡¯s Road, and find immortality in proving your path!¡± A beam of golden light shone upon Deirdre, and a dark red aura appeared beneath her feet! ¡ª System Prompt: Deirdre gains +1 Knowledge! Deirdre¡¯s ¡°Hero¡¯s Road¡± has completed the first stage, becoming a Level 0 Trial Hero! ¡ª System Prompt: A Trial Hero can learn any skill that a formal hero can, but does not have the immortal attribute. If they die, they truly die. ¡ª System Prompt: Deirdre¡¯s ¡°Hero¡¯s Road¡± enters the second stage ¡°Immortal Road¡±! ¡ª Deirdre: A mysterious Banshee pursuing the path of a hero. Level 0 Trial Hero. Command Power: 80 Attack: 17 Defense: 13 Magic Power: 0 Knowledge: 1 Damage: 17-31 Health: 271 Attack Speed: 11 Talent Specialty: Banshee Leader, every 2 levels the hero gains, increase Banshees¡¯ attack and defense by 1 point each, also the hero possesses the training ability of the Banshee Instructor. Hero profession: None. Hero skills: None Special Skill: Flying Creature, Charm Master, Chain Shooting, Transformation Skill. The entire Indian Command Center was astounded! The hero¡¯s advancement had taken a big step! This is the attribute of a level 0 hero, the endgame for bosses is just the starting point for heroes! But why a Trial Hero? What¡¯s the difference between a hero without immortality and an ordinary unit? For a moment, the entire command center was perplexed. Likewise, amidst the surprise and joy of the golden light raining from the sky and the dream-coveted Hero Aura beneath her feet, Deirdre felt an immense disappointment. Just then, a blast of flame erupted, and Siriel, engulfed in fire, appeared with a large group of Mage Apprentices. Players from various countries on the field with mixed feelings all turned their attention to the scene. Siriel, looking at the corpses strewn across the mountains and fields, laughed heartily: ¡°Warriors, your courage is commendable! Your efforts deserve reward! This is my gift to you!¡± As he spoke, he and his apprentices cast a spell together, and a mist of blood enveloped the whole battlefield. The corpses of all Hell Race soldiers vanished in an instant, and then thousands of Hell Race 6th level High-level Soldiers, the Abyss Lords, appeared. SawSaw exclaimed in surprise: ¡°It¡¯s the Great Demon¡¯s sacrifice, Summoning the Abyss Lord!¡± Siriel laughed again: ¡°Warriors, this is the compensation for your fallen soldiers, come and claim them!¡± ¡ª Abyss Lord: Large demon, normal form of the Hell Race 6th level trooper, Attack 21, Defense 21, Damage 13-26, Health 120, Attack Speed 8, Move Speed 8, Command Value: 8, Special Skills: Advanced Fireball Technique, Intermediate Armor-Piercing Weakening, Beheading Sword. Low-level Soldiers swapped for High-level Soldiers! And it is the powerful Abyss Lord that can cast giant fireballs! Who would have thought such good fortune could come? Considering at this stage players still need to complete quests just to hire 4th level troops, getting 6th level troops so easily is truly a trip worth making! In an instant, a thunderous cheer erupted from all the players across the plains! ¡ª Ah puh! Ma Yinglong who was just reveling in pride, spat out a mouthful of old blood all over the screen! At this time, Siriel, along with his group of apprentices, approached the Ancient Tree and nodded approvingly at Deirdre: ¡°Well done, now you are worthy of my teaching.¡± With new hope in life, Deirdre was overjoyed: ¡°Thank you, teacher!¡± ¡­.. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only At this moment, players from various nations were excitedly claiming their Abyss Lords, and there was a universal celebration with posts hurrying to spread the news! Meanwhile, the leaders of various nations took the initiative to shake hands with Ma Yinglong, who was so amused that his face started twitching! Are you all purposely here to annoy the hell out of me? Just then, a loud noise shocked the space, and players from all countries turned their heads in astonishment to see the Wisdom Ancient Tree bursting into flames! Siriel¡¯s smug laughter echoed through the space: ¡°Now that you¡¯re no longer of value, warriors, retreat!¡± For a moment, the entire place was in uproar. This NPC, burning bridges after crossing, is truly a Demon! (Please vote for various tickets) (To be continued.

Chapter 129: Chapter 126: My Heart is Being Stolen Away! The azure ocean, vast waves, the silver-white Flying leading a huge merchant fleet through the waves. On the deck of the Flying, Selvia in her snow-white priestly garb sat before a white grand piano, joyously playing the festive tune ¡°Dance of the Golden Snake¡±, with the sunshine casting a dazzling brilliance upon her golden hair. Beside the piano, Catherine in a fiery-red evening gown lifted her violin to accompany the piece with a festive flourish, as the clamorous music reverberated between the heavens and the sea. Just as Da Fei was wondering why the music was so out of sync with the atmosphere, the sky suddenly turned a fiery red, and a numerous shower of meteors smashed down with a cacophony of thunderous explosions, instantly plunging the entire world into darkness! ¨CAhhhhhh!!! Da Fei screamed out loud, suddenly sitting up! The New Year¡¯s sunlight shone on Da Fei¡¯s face, and the sounds of firecrackers, horns, gongs, and drums filled the air from outside his window; it turned out to be a dream! Da Fei took a deep breath of relief and wiped the sweat from his back. So, it¡¯s almost New Year¡¯s? Da Fei shook his head helplessly and slowly got up to go to the toilet¨CHoly crap! I must get to my computer! These few hours I slept until dawn, three days must have passed in the game, right? Who knows what happened in those three days, that dream just now scared the life out of me! Da Fei hurriedly stuffed bread into his mouth while frantically putting on his helmet to log into the game. Then a flash of light in front of his eyes, and the sound of Crossbow Cannons immediately filled his ears! A flood of system messages swamped the screen! Something big indeed happened! A fight has broken out! Da Fei was so shocked he nearly choked! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your troops have successfully repaired a Flower Demon barracks. ¨CSystem Prompt: One Forest Goddess has joined your forces. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Deputy Officer Catherine has recruited 20 Flower Demons for free from a wilderness barracks. ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your Deputy Officer Selvia has leveled up to 26! ¡­ ¨CSystem Prompt: Your troops have successfully repaired a Flower Demon barracks. ¨CSystem Prompt: One Forest Goddess has joined your forces. ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your Deputy Officer Selvia has leveled up to 28! ¡­ Da Fei quickly calmed himself, took a glance at the system messages, and was again stunned! So, while I was away, they were fighting on their own! Holy crap, my Flower Demons have grown to 400, and I¡¯ve gathered 20 Forest Goddesses!! That¡¯s like a dozen taken down! So does that mean the current gunfire is also part of the fight? This is like an online bot, right? Haha! Wahahaha! Worthy of being an Epic Hero as a Deputy Officer, their intelligence and learning abilities are far beyond imagination! In open beta, when the Lord Player logs off, they usually assign the most capable Vice Hero to act as Deputy City Lord to defend the city, but NPC deputies are very conservative in defense, just holding out, even if the hero is a fiery-tempered Beastman Deputy City Lord, they rarely take the initiative to strike. Of course, holding out is correct to protect the interests of Lord Players. In the game, the difficulty of siege warfare is quite high¨Ctaking a city might not be possible even with 10 to 1 losses, because during a defense, heroes are not limited by tactical positions, and all the mixed 0-level troops can be pulled up on the city walls. Hold out for a day, and the barracks in the city produce more troops for recruitment to continue the battle. That¡¯s why during open beta the type of troop buildings were so valuable because Lord Players loved to increase the variety of troops in their cities and ensure their city¡¯s defenses. But in this case, they¡¯ve actually taken the offensive! Da Fei, excited, dashed out of the Captain¡¯s cabin, and indeed, swarms of insects were toppling down, falling into the pond to dissolve into mist. Rows of Crossbow Cannons fired at the insect nests, and blood gushed like fountains! Seeing Da Fei appear, Catherine chuckled as she approached, ¡°Captain, you¡¯re awake!¡± Now that¡¯s the life, that¡¯s the thrill! Da Fei burst into a loud guffaw, patting his beloved vice hero¡¯s fragrant shoulder: ¡°Good! You¡¯ve all done very well!¡± Catherine said with a smile, ¡°It¡¯s all thanks to Lady Anwen¡¯s tactical arrangements. Now we only need 150 Flower Demons and 50 Druids to attack an insect nest. As our troops continue to grow, we can take turns resting and fighting, basically achieving non-stop round-the-clock attacks! The further we go, the faster we¡¯ll be able to fight!¡± Oh, so it¡¯s all thanks to the old lady! And here I was thinking Catherine had gotten so advanced? Maybe she really is that advanced? Enough said! Da Fei continued to encourage, ¡°Good job!¡± With a volley of Crossbow Arrows thundering out, the insect nest erupted into terrible screams, and the familiar System Prompt flooded the screen once again. And with that screen refresh, Da Fei saw the latest system message. ¡ª System Prompt: Deirdre has completed the first stage of ¡®Hero¡¯s Road¡¯, becoming a Trial Hero, and the second stage ¡®Immortal Road¡¯ has begun. ¡ª Task Hint: Please note! Deirdre has become a hero and acquired an independent identity, leaving your forces. Please maintain a good relationship with her, otherwise, Deirdre may be employed by other players involved in the ¡®Hero¡¯s Road¡¯ quest. Currently, you have a 73% favorability with Deirdre. If the share of favorability falls below 50%, Deirdre may not join your faction. ¡ª Deirdre: The mysterious Banshee on the Hero¡¯s Road. ¡ª Level 0 Trial Hero, specialty Banshee Leader, Attack 17, Defense 13¡­ Staring at the sudden burst of information, Da Fei was so shocked his balls nearly exploded! What the heck! Can other players also receive this quest? The cooked duck I thought I had can actually fly away? Damn! Even wives can run off! And this isn¡¯t the first time someone¡¯s snatched her away, right? Everyone understands what a Banshee is like! Damn it! Time waits for no one, Da Fei immediately said to Catherine: ¡°I¡¯ll leave this place to you, I¡¯m diving into the Demon Camp!¡± Catherine nodded, ¡°Captain, take care on your journey!¡± Right, Selvia is also about to hit level 30, with several Skill Points saved up, nothing much to say, level up Meditation Skill to Master Level, and learn Quirky Magic, the sub-skill that randomly reduces Mana consumption. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Then, Da Fei immediately transformed into Spiderman, and hurried off with two Charming Emperors. My sweetheart, I¡¯ll let you see how big our child has gotten. Would you run away with someone else? Come on, I want to see who has the guts to steal my sweetheart, I¡¯ll destroy you bastard! Da Fei hastily opened the forum to see what happened overnight, and was once again dumbstruck! ¡°Thanks to Dragon Slayer Guild for giving me level 6 troops! Thanks to National War for giving me a chance to stand out!¡± ¡°Dragon Slayer Guild is hiring, players who participated in the Wisdom Ancient Tree campaign are given priority¡± ¡°Buying a large number of level 6 Abyss Lords!¡± ¡°Tycoons, gather round! Buy up all the Abyss Lords from the foreigners!¡± What the hell! Abyss Lords? Am I seeing this right? Have Abyss Lords become as common as cabbages in the streets? What on earth happened tonight?

Chapter 130 - Chapter 130 Last day of National Day asking for monthly Chapter 130: Last day of National Day, asking for monthly tickets Chapter 130: Last day of National Day, asking for monthly tickets Hello book lovers, this is the first solicitation chapter of the book. By convention, top authors are sure to release a standalone chapter at the beginning and end of each month for festival events. However, for some reason, I suddenly realize I no longer have the passion to write such chapters¨Cperhaps feeling guilty that my updates can¡¯t meet the readers¡¯ needs. That¡¯s not good. To be honest, I¡¯m feeling quite lost now. In my thirties yet not established, I ponder life daily, and now, focus every day on the future. Although I write web games, I am actually a person with depth and substance. Well, let¡¯s not think too much, let¡¯s talk about this book. During the seven-day National Day holiday, the average subscription of this book reached 4300, steadily progressing towards my dream of 5000. Initially, I just hoped for 3000 to make it into quality collection. This shows that the book has received preliminary market recognition and support from readers. But I¡¯m not satisfied, not because I seek better performance, but because I aim for breakthroughs. Life should start low and go high, continuously breaking through. However, I must face the fact that the structure and concept of this book may not reach the level of my previous work, hence many long-time readers are dissatisfied with me. I¡¯ve been reflecting on this. In fact, this book is written slowly and cautiously. Every step I take, five or six different plot options emerge in my mind, but under the unspoken rule of web fiction to ¡°not torture the protagonist,¡± I reject each one, unlike when I wrote leveling guides without restraint. This is to say, in my view, writing this book has actually been harder than writing leveling guides. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only This is my confusion, or perhaps my lack of confidence. Recently I¡¯ve been reading Chen Dong¡¯s book in my spare time¨Ca brat¡¯s beginning! My god! Maybe I haven¡¯t read enough, but aside from Jin Yong and Huang Yi, I can¡¯t think of many who dare to start a story with a brat! What is this? The confidence of a great author! Because they dare to write, they can offer readers something uniquely brilliant! Similarly, when I wrote about leveling, it was because I dared to be cruel¨Coh no, I can¡¯t really compare the two. When writing about leveling, I was a newbie who knew nothing, fearless because of ignorance, didn¡¯t care much for results, and was willing to break the pot if needed. Now, as I seek breakthroughs, I need confidence¨Cmeaning I need votes. So, go ahead, vote, dear readers! Thank you! (To be continued.

Chapter 131 - Chapter 131 Chapter 127 We Must End the National War as Soon Chapter 131: Chapter 127: We Must End the National War as Soon as Possible Chapter 131: Chapter 127: We Must End the National War as Soon as Possible After browsing the forum, Da Fei finally understood what had happened last night. Da Fei was dumbfounded. This was the power of the Multi-Nation Hell Coalition! The scale, the manpower, if not for the natural barrier of the Pool of Radiance, he would have surely been crushed to bits. What puzzled Da Fei, however, was that both the Abyss Lords summoned using corpses and the reinforcements from the Hell Gate were temporary, vanishing as soon as the battle ended¨Ca term professionals call Plane Projection. But now these Abyss Lords were the real deal? They could even set up stalls to sell their goods? How was he supposed to fight against this? As level 6 troops, they rarely appeared as wild monsters, so players had not yet experienced the terror of level 6 troops, especially magical ones. The mere single-target spell lightning from a level 4 Druid was enough to terrify players, so one could only imagine the horror of the Abyss Lord¡¯s group-target spell, Great Fireball. Just as Da Fei witnessed, Druids casting spells against small insects would hit an entire troop¡¯s tactical position, and the whole swarm would gleam with Thunder Light, visually indistinguishable from a group-target spell. The Great Fireball¡¯s visual spectacle would be even more overwhelming. If its target area contained multiple troops and even one soldier from a troop brushed against the bombing zone, then sorry, that unlucky soldier triggered the fuse on a minefield, and his entire troop would get bombed and share the damage¨Ceven if other troops weren¡¯t in the blast zone of the Great Fireball. At that time, the entire army would be engulfed in a sea of flying sparks, prompting all players to involuntarily gasp and howl in excitement¨Cthis was what drove players¡¯ blood to boil in mid-to-late war stages! Of course, since a group-target spell¡¯s attack area was so large, its damage was much less compared to a single-target spell. For example, the damage of the Advanced Fireball Technique was 27 + 17 x Magic Power, which was the damage inflicted on each tactical position, incomparable to the Advanced Lightning¡¯s damage of 84 + 12 x Magic Power. So, the Abyss Lord would still be utterly dominated by Druids, unable to shake the status of Druids¡¯ God-level monsters. The strategic significance of group-target spells lay not in killing enemies but in draining the enemy Priest¡¯s mana. Yet, group magic played on scale, once the number of Abyss Lords rose, it became a different story. Like now, Da Fei¡¯s nightmares in the morning would become a reality! This was no longer my personal battle! However, now was not the time to think about battle! My wife is about to be swayed by Asan, right? Agitated, Da Fei crawled out of the barrier and made his way near the main Magic Tower; Deirdre¡¯s green dot was no longer present on the mini-map, indicating she had indeed become independent, no longer part of his troops! Damn it, if only I had known, I shouldn¡¯t have taken this quest; I would have kept her in the barracks quietly to have kids. Without all this hassle, I¡¯d likely have five or six special soldiers by now. Clearly, quests aren¡¯t to be taken lightly. The two little hearts whispered in Da Fei¡¯s ear, ¡°Master, we can no longer receive Lady Deirdre¡¯s messages!¡± Damn it! Even the kids don¡¯t recognize her! Of course, now she¡¯s independent, practically neutral, with no reason to be a mole anymore! Banshee! Banshee!!! When I catch you, I¡¯m definitely locking you in the barracks to spank you! Since Deirdre wasn¡¯t in the Watchtower, Da Fei pulled out his binoculars and surveyed all around from the underground. The whole camp was bustling, with players from various countries setting up stalls, shouting at the top of their lungs. Indeed, major teams worldwide had their sights on ordinary players who had acquired Abyss Lords last night, trying to purchase them. For large guilds and major teams, stocking up on level 6 troops meant something significant, especially for the Dragon Slayer. Once they had large numbers of level 6 troops, it signaled the rise of the Hell Race, which Dragon Slayer had never been strong in! Da Fei raised his eyebrows, if so, would these countries really put effort into a National War? Likely, they were all thinking of preserving their troops, right? Damn it, if I had a squad of level 6 troops, there¡¯s no way I¡¯d go out there to battle, I¡¯d sit in a corner doing nothing till the war ends, probably others thought the same, right? So why should I worry? Finally, in a throng of Asan, Da Fei found Deirdre. She was with two Demon NPC heroes, fiddling with a shiny Crossbow Cannon. Damn it, my Phantom Crossbow Cannon! One of the NPCs was none other than her mentor, Siriel. Seems like giving her the Crossbow Cannon was right, otherwise, she wouldn¡¯t have had a gift for apprenticeship, ruining the whole thing! At that moment, a faint dark red halo appeared at her feet, causing Da Fei¡¯s heart to break a bit! It¡¯s not that I¡¯m not trying, but honestly, something like this can¡¯t be done alone, right? Come back, let¡¯s live together in the Ocean Palace! Through the Reconnaissance Skill, Deirdre¡¯s equipment was all revealed. ¨CDwarf King Armor: B-grade strategic treasure, Defense +10, Troop resistance to magic chance +15% ¨CDwarf King Helmet: B-grade strategic treasure, Defense +5, Troop immune to Blinding Magic. ¨CDwarf King Rune Shield: B-grade strategic treasure, Defense +8, Troop resistance to magic chance +20% ¨CDwarf King Iron Fist: B-grade strategic treasure, Attack +3, Defense +3, Troop Attack Speed +5%. ¨CDwarf King Greaves: B-grade strategic treasure, Defense +3, Troop immune to Delay Magic. Dwarf King Set bonus: Troop Life +2, Hero Life +100. ¡­ Argh! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of old blood! The Dwarf King Set! Damn it! This, this, this, this, this is surely something only large teams and major guilds can afford, right? Asan must be afraid she¡¯d get killed and gave this along with goodwill, right? My goodwill dropped 30% overnight because of using these gear to buy her off, right? From the way they surrounded her three layers deep, Asan¡¯s definitely insisting on taking her, right? What to do? What to do? The kids can¡¯t get in touch with their mom, and there¡¯s a bunch of Asan shadowing every step, I just can¡¯t get close! Is my kids¡¯ mom really going to be taken away by Asan? At that moment, Da Fei felt like his heart was being cut by a knife! ¨CBoom! A cannon shot erupted in flames, and chuckles burst out from the crowd where Deirdre was. That voice was clearly a woman¡¯s, but her rough and bold demeanor was clearly not Deirdre¡¯s. Da Fei focused his gaze, and yes, it was a woman, but far tougher than an average Banshee, clearly not a Banshee, Deleb? Da Fei was suddenly shocked! It was Deleb! The Hell Race¡¯s famous Epic Hero, Crossbow Cannon expert Iron Maiden Deleb! (Note: Deleb, a unique early-game hero of highest difficulty in Heroes of Might and Magic 5 for the Hell Race) During open beta, no one didn¡¯t know of this renowned Hell Cannon Woman from the campaign missions, dubbed Hell¡¯s Sister! A female Great Demon, anyone daring to treat her as a servant Banshee would find themselves tortured to death on various bizarre machines. For the Hell Race, which heavily depends on opening with Crossbow Cannons, this sister¡¯s specialty was simply overpowering! ¨CIron Maiden: Crossbows commanded by the hero gain the ability to launch fireballs, causing 20+20xMagic Power flame damage to the area around the crossbow arrow¡¯s impact point. In other words, her Crossbows were like modern artillery, blowing up entire areas! A Triple Crossbow plus the Divine Artifact ¡°Mechanical Gravity Ring¡± that adds +1 usage to war machinery, firing four shots in succession, that¡¯s bam bam bam bam, leaving all participants in the battle and video viewers at the time gasping and shouting! Of course, all players knew this sister¡¯s temper, only interested in war machines. For a player to converse with her, they needed a standout war machine. But evidently, across the whole Hero Continent, aside from Da Fei¡¯s special equipment, other players only had store-bought machines, unable to even speak a word to her. In other words, my Phantom Crossbow Cannon was most likely the stepping stone for Deirdre¡¯s apprenticeship! At this moment, Da Fei felt slightly thrilled! To become Deleb¡¯s apprentice, it was unimaginable! Damn it! What am I thrilled about! Asan¡¯s planning to take her away, right! For major guilds, when taking over a spot, they surely run 24-hour shifts leaving no gap, no foreigner could squeeze through the wall of people near her to see Deirdre for real, how could I, their enemy, even approach, I¡¯d be instantly killed, right? What could be done? Ask Dragon Slayer Guild to deal with them? But this is a camp, right? PKing in a camp is suicide, right? Dragon Slayer might help me block a road if it profits them, but what would PKing Asan benefit them? At this point, there was only one solution left! Win the war quickly, or more precisely, I must win the National War, then every foreigner would be forcefully teleported home by the system! Exactly, win the war before Asan convinces Deirdre so the system sends them home! How to win? If I capture the Abyss Blood Pool, doesn¡¯t that mean victory? And to capture the Abyss Blood Pool, I must wait for the Spider Demon reinforcements and strike when the opportunity arises, right? As for defending the Pool of Radiance? Surely, it¡¯s not only my responsibility, the whole Star Guild seems ready, right? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only So should I still block the road? By the way, is Dragon Slayer blocking the road? Damn it, large guilds have already become national heroes; would they even care for me, the enemy camp? No no no! Stay calm! Keep cool! I can¡¯t mess up! The situation hiring troops at Pool of Radiance is great, I need to steady my position, I must recruit all the Forest Goddesses! And I still have 73% goodwill! There¡¯s no way Asan can steal her away now, even if Asan could reduce goodwill by 30% overnight by gifting gear, they¡¯ve already given what they could, the remaining 20% won¡¯t be easy to chip away! Besides, even at 50%, they can¡¯t guarantee to take her! With time pressing, no more idle talk, return to combat! (Seeking all kinds of votes)(To be continued.

Chapter 132 - Chapter 132 Chapter 128 The Most Beautiful Woman Bu Feiyan Chapter 132: Chapter 128: The Most Beautiful Woman, Bu Feiyan, Goes to Battle Chapter 132: Chapter 128: The Most Beautiful Woman, Bu Feiyan, Goes to Battle The night after the National War, for Eternal Star, the president of Star Guild, it was a sleepless night. His character was stationed at the Elf Kingdom¡¯s General Staff, constantly monitoring the front-line status. That night, Ma Yinglong of Dragon Slayer Guild stole the show. With a poor hand, he actually managed to get off to a good start, which was quite irritating to him. He was eager for the Elf Kingdom to start the war immediately and defeat the Multi-National Forces in front of the vast number of players, showcasing the majestic prowess of Star Guild. Especially when Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s earth-shattering strike occurred, he was laughing so hard his stomach hurt. He was just lamenting how Little Ma had spent a fortune for such cooperation when the scenario suddenly changed¨C the sudden appearance of thousands of Abyss Lords scared him stiff! He couldn¡¯t believe the system would give such a reward. How could they continue the fight? Who would dare to face so many of those high-defense and high-health Magic Species? It would be somewhat manageable if the Elf Clan had Anti-Magic Level 5 Soldiers like Unicorns, but players don¡¯t even have Level 4 soldiers yet, do they? The Hell Race players made a fortune that night, visiting the Wisdom Tree and gaining High-level Soldiers. How should Star Guild respond? Does Star Guild have a way to grant its participating players such high benefits? He had no confidence whatsoever, and no idea what to do next. He felt nothing but anxiety. Applause rang out once again; the NPC officers gathered around the Pool of Radiance sand table cheered. It seemed that the pace of reclaiming the Pool of Radiance was accelerating, which meant the expansion of the opponent¡¯s military strength was continuing, and Eternal Star had to take the presence of that Super Hero seriously. Perhaps it was time to talk to him about a collaboration. ¡ª System Prompt: Sorry! Your friend request cannot be sent as the player has gone offline. What? Offline? Eternal Star quickly checked the Level List for ¡°Da Fei¡± and indeed, it showed ¡°Currently Not Online!¡± Eternal Star was stunned. Had they all guessed wrong? Was this Super Hero not him? Then who is this Super Hero on a mission? Or is the so-called Super Hero just an NPC? The feeling of the situation slipping out of his control was terrible. But it was good that it wasn¡¯t him. As the president of China¡¯s largest guild, having a conversation with a notorious scammer? That would be as unbelievable as the President of the United States talking to Somali Pirates! If the other party went below the belt, they could threaten Star Guild with a scandal by leaking the conversation, creating a severe negative impact on the guild¡¯s reputation. Fortunately, he nearly disrupted his own strategy; Eternal Star was deeply remorseful for his impulsive action just now. At that moment, there was a commotion among the NPC officers. New development! Eternal Star perked up. An officer hurriedly reported to the Chief of Staff: ¡°Great Elder, bad news, the Demon Army has invaded the space of the Nasir Wisdom Ancient Tree, and it has lost contact with the World Tree!¡± The Great Elder was shocked! Eternal Star couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry. The NPCs are only finding out now. We, the players, have been live-streaming the occurrence; the whole world already knows. Well, let¡¯s see what happens next. Another officer rushed forward: ¡°Great Elder, the Nasir Wisdom Ancient Tree has been cursed by demons, and the space where the tree resides is twisting and turbulent. It might be the work of demons, or it might be the suffering tree itself.¡± The Great Elder said gravely, ¡°To think that the demons would not even spare the Wisdom Tree, their shamelessness knows no bounds!¡± Eternal Star eagerly stepped forward, ¡°Great Elder, is there anything we can do to help?¡± The reporting officer said, ¡°I suggest we send warriors to the distorted space to heal the Wisdom Tree. If it cannot be healed, then we must completely eliminate the tree, otherwise, given the current situation, the Nasir Ancient Tree will be tortured into a Tree Demon in its pain, posing a great threat to the World Tree.¡± The Great Elder solemnly asked, ¡°How many warriors can we dispatch?¡± The officer replied firmly, ¡°The space is experiencing violent distortions, and any teleportation is perilous. With our capabilities, we can only ensure the safe entry of one warrior for now! If the situation continues to deteriorate, we may not even be able to guarantee the safety of a single warrior!¡± The Great Elder looked at Eternal Star with profound emotion, ¡°Warrior¨C¡± ¡ª System Prompt: You have received the quest ¡°Save Nasir Wisdom Ancient Tree.¡± Do you accept? Eternal Star felt an immense headache. Why always just one warrior? The Elf Clan only knows how to plant and garden; is their spatial technology that far behind demons? Of course, it¡¯s not the elves¡¯ fault; no matter how long-lived they are, they are still mortals in the end. But the demons can stand against the gods; in a sense, demons possess divinity, and time and space are usually domains of the gods, so it makes sense that demons are skilled in spatial technology. Regardless, it was finally Star Guild¡¯s turn to make a move, and this first move had to be good. Eternal Star hurriedly made a phone call to wake up Bu Feiyan and get her online. Yes, as the most recognized top female professional player in China and the image spokesperson for Star Guild, not to mention the unofficial spokesperson for the China Region, she was the perfect choice for this first move! The reason? Need it be explained? Of course, the radiance of the Goddess can illuminate everything! Just by posting an announcement ¡°Otaku Goddess Bu Feiyan Enters to Purify the Distorted Space,¡± Star Guild could instantly overshadow Dragon Slayer Guild¡¯s glory tonight! Seeing that Eternal Star wasn¡¯t responding for a while, the Great Elder got impatient: ¡°Warrior! Time is of the essence! Speak up! If it weren¡¯t for the fact that you¡¯ve donated so much money, this General Staff would be no place for idlers, yet you¡¯ve been idling around for three or four days now!¡± Eternal Star was also losing patience, ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯m on the phone. I¡¯m getting someone more suitable to take on the mission.¡± The Great Elder urged, ¡°Then hurry up and call!¡± Ahem! Eternal Star snorted. Finally, Bu Feiyan logged on. Eternal Star immediately told the impatient Great Elder, ¡°She¡¯s the one!¡± The Great Elder immediately said to the group of officers, ¡°Hand over the mission items to her and send her on her way!¡± With the assistance of a group of Druid officers, the Great Elder himself took action, and Bu Feiyan was engulfed in a white light. Bu Feiyan exclaimed in astonishment, ¡°Hey hey? What¡¯s going on?¡± The Great Elder quickly said, ¡°Warrior, you only have one chance. If you fail, we won¡¯t be able to send you back into this dimension again.¡± Eternal Star said, ¡°Little Deng, it¡¯s all on you now!¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t even brushed my teeth yet¨C!¡± With a flash of white light, Bu Feiyan vanished. The officers clapped their hands, casually gathered around the map sandbox again, and then cheered, ¡°So fast! We took down another one!¡± Followed by more applause. Eternal Star¡¯s face was wooden, thinking you guys are taking this way too lightly, almost to an art form. Bu Feiyan¡¯s message came through immediately: ¡°President! Are you kidding me, I can¡¯t see any Wisdom Tree at all! Hey hey! The scene changed!¡± Eternal Star quickly said, ¡°Don¡¯t panic, I¡¯ll wake up Old Jiang and the rest. We¡¯ll consult together using the big external screen.¡± Just now, Bu Feiyan was in a dark forest, her all-Jungle Hunter Unit cautiously scouting ahead. Suddenly, the scenery began to blur and distort, then the dark forest ground abruptly turned into hellish scorched earth, with a few soldiers standing right in the emerging lava. The sudden change took the leading beauty who had just gotten out of bed by surprise. Before she could understand what was going on, those anemic Jungle Hunters just burbled and popped, gone! Could they really die like that? The setting is way too treacherous! Now, Bu Feiyan and the Star Wisdom Group behind her finally understood the true nature of this twisted space. The difficulty of the mission was beyond imagination! ¡­ At the Pool of Radiance, the Ancient Wind blowing down from the ceiling of the world pushed the Flying steadily towards the next target, the ship filled with a refreshing fragrance. After breaking through over a dozen insect nests, the wind got stronger and there was no need to use the Magic Sail anymore. The increasingly stronger Ancient Wind also enhanced the power of the Light Magic and Druid Thunder Magic. The red clouds on the mini-map became clear and refreshing. The progress of clearing the area could now be described as a veritable harvest. If there were no unexpected disturbances, the purification of the Pool of Radiance was within sight. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only But Da Fei¡¯s mood was very heavy, he couldn¡¯t relax at all, yeah, you know the feeling. Just then, Da Fei¡¯s message sounded¨Cit was Lei Huolong. Lei Huolong: ¡°Brother Fei, we¡¯re not blocking the way anymore.¡± Not blocking the way? Let spiders through? Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Then what¡¯s your plan?¡± Lei Huolong replied with a wry smile, ¡°We don¡¯t know what to do either, but Asan helped us block it, so we¡¯re not blocking anymore. Oh, and the Demon Race Factory is almost fixed, just letting Brother Fei know.¡± Asan! Again! Should I say thanks, or should I say Shit? Legend has it that as soon as India starts to cheat, there¡¯s nothing they can¡¯t do! Da Fei was gritting his teeth in hatred! (To be continued.

Chapter 133 - Chapter 133 Chapter 129 Hidden Profession Artillery Master Chapter 133: Chapter 129: Hidden Profession Artillery Master Chapter 133: Chapter 129: Hidden Profession Artillery Master For the Dragon Slayer Guild, this night was indeed a double victory of fame and fortune. However, the entanglement in Ma Yinglong¡¯s heart was not something to be shared with outsiders. What is achievement? Achievement is having what others don¡¯t, and having more of what others do. Now that various countries, including ordinary players, all have a large number of Abyss Lords, how does Ma Yinglong feel about this? What¡¯s the next step? Attack? Send level 6 troops, which are impossible to obtain at the current stage, to their death? Impossible! Players treat their level 1, 2, and 3 low-tier troops like treasures and are unwilling to charge forward; one can only imagine how it is now with level 6 troops! Anyway, Dragon Slayer will not continue to charge any further, as it¡¯s known to stop while ahead. After all, most of the Hell Race in the China Region are ordinary players. Having learned a lesson from last night¡¯s finger-guessing game incident, Ma Yinglong must now always consider the interests of the ordinary players. So, it can be imagined that other countries that came just for show will also not advance any further. This National War is destined to be a passive time-consuming match, dragging on until the end of the game. When will it end? Of course, the Japanese get to decide since they are the main force attacking the Hell Race, and their elite troops have fallen into the pit of the China Region; they have no choice but to push forward. Right, the next step is to drag it out, do nothing, and wear down the Japanese. Speaking of which, there¡¯s also India, which seems to be profiting the most right now. Are they recruiting a hero? This can be seen from how proactive India has been in helping Dragon Slayer block roads, almost as if they want to drag things out until they secure that hero, right? And from the current situation, India¡¯s appetite seems quite large; they are even trying to secure the legendary Artillery Woman of the Hell Race! Ma Yinglong is very displeased, so he simply stopped blocking the roads and let the Indians take over! After all, he has decided to play it by ear and go with the flow. ¡­¡­ Compared to Ma Yinglong¡¯s entanglement, India Zone is flourishing. At this moment, surrounded by a human wall of Indians, Siriel is passionately confessing his love to Deirdre, who is repeatedly dismantling a Phantom Crossbow Cannon: ¡°My ardor is like a flame, you¡¯re a homebody girl, I¡¯m a homebody guy, the fates¡¯ crossbow cannon ties us together, little Bu, accept my love?¡± The crowd of Indians clapped their hands. Deirdre is a Great Demoness wearing a terrifying mask. She wears the mask because she doesn¡¯t want others to mistake her beauty for that of an Enchanting Demon (Banshee), which would be an absolute insult for a Great Demon. In the world of demons, demons are classified into upper, middle, and lower classes based on lineage. Without a doubt, Great Demons are of an upper-class race that rules, while Banshees and Nightmares, intermediate demons, are usually considered the property of the Demon Lords. Deirdre, being petite compared to regular Great Demonesses (in Great Demon terms, this meant short and stubby), not only makes her easily mistaken for an Enchanting Demon but also hinders her from standing out in personal combat. Thus, she devoted herself entirely to the study of war machines, achieving great success. Compared to the treacherous and fearful Demon Army, always in fear of enemies or wobbling between fearing the enemy and their master, the cold steel machines are her most reliable battle companions. Back in his school days, Siriel, of Intermediate Flame Demon origin, had a chance glimpse of Deirdre¡¯s beauty and fell for her instantly. While striving to increase his own power, he persistently pursued her. Although Deirdre ranks among the lower in the Great Demon community, a Great Demon is still a Great Demon, and their noble bloodline is very appealing. Marrying a Great Demoness would turn his life upside down. However, Great Demons are not so easy to pursue, let alone Deirdre, whose talents have made her status rise with each passing day, leaving Siriel trailing further behind, under great pressure. In short, this is a love story without love between two Epic Heroes. At this moment, faced with Siriel¡¯s confession, Deirdre responded with a cold chuckle without looking up: ¡°You think you¡¯re worthy now?¡± Siriel laughed: ¡°I invited you over to witness the ascent of my career!¡± Deirdre sneered: ¡°The Demon King¡¯s strategic focus is on the New World, rich in wealth; he won¡¯t use too many resources in the old world. You don¡¯t even have a decent army, and your opponent is the World Tree, the foundation of the Elves. Do you think you can rise with these little guys?¡± Siriel laughed loudly: ¡°It is precisely because the Demon King won¡¯t use many resources here that this is a test for a competent commander. I won¡¯t miss this opportunity. I have summoned a large number of Abyss Demons using 500 years¡¯ worth of my Flame Essence. This is my army! Enough forces to severely damage the World Tree! The energy I used was replenished through visiting the Wisdom Ancient Tree and then further threatening the World Tree by cursing ancient trees. My plan is interconnected and flawless!¡± Deirdre was shocked: ¡°You idiot!¡± The crowd of Indians finally understood the origins of the Abyss Lords and nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her calling him an idiot. Siriel ecstatically said: ¡°Little Bu, were you just worried about me? That¡¯s great, don¡¯t worry about me. Although I temporarily weakened my strength by consuming 500 years of Flame Essence, it¡¯s nothing compared to the merits I¡¯ve earned.¡± Deirdre bellowed: ¡°I¡¯m talking about the Wisdom Ancient Tree! Why didn¡¯t you involve me!¡± Siriel was tremendously shaken, his once-proud flames instantly extinguished. He dumbly said, ¡°Weren¡¯t you not here at that time?¡± Delib angrily retorted, ¡°Then couldn¡¯t you have waited for me?¡± Siriel, blackened as if charred, responded, ¡°It was an emergency situation, and besides, I didn¡¯t expect you would really come.¡± With a grunt, Delib stopped paying attention to him and continued to amuse himself with his cannon. Siriel stood there, stunned. A group of Indians heaved a long sigh and shook their heads; it seemed like things were over between them. Just then, Deirdre interjected, ¡°Lord Delib, actually, this crossbow cannon is a gift from the mentor to you. The mentor wasn¡¯t sure if it would meet your standards, so he never brought it up.¡± Delib was suddenly overjoyed, ¡°For me?¡± Siriel, shocked, glanced at Deirdre and then nodded frantically, ¡°Yes, yes, yes! Lil¡¯ B, this is for you! I¡¯m so glad you like it!¡± Delib burst into a hearty laugh and stood up abruptly. Her proud gaze finally settled on Deirdre who had always been following her, ¡°This crossbow cannon might be worth dozens of times your own value, are you willing to give it away?¡± Deirdre hurriedly said, ¡°Next to the mentor¡¯s happiness and Lord Delib¡¯s interests, this stolen item is nothing.¡± Delib laughed loudly again. ¡°Actually, I¡¯ve been contemplating how to kill you and snatch this cannon. You¡¯re quite the clever banshee, very good, exceptionally good!¡± Upon hearing this, the group of Indians was terrified. At that moment, Delib took out a red-covered Skill Book from her possessions, ¡°As a reciprocal gift, I¡¯m giving you this hidden profession of Artillery Master. It even contains my unique secret techniques. But listen well, once you become an Artillery Master, you won¡¯t be able to take on the common Demon Lord profession. Of course, I¡¯ve never thought a banshee could command much respect to lead the unruly Hell Army, so you should take me as your role model and follow in my footsteps.¡± Deirdre was overjoyed, ¡°Thank you, my Lord! I will definitely take you as my example!¡± The previously shocked Indians couldn¡¯t help but burst into cheers! The entire Indian Zone headquarters erupted in excitement! Everyone knew that the Epic Hero Delib didn¡¯t possess the Hell Gate like other demons, her profession was a mystery. Now, the secret is revealed, it turned out she was an Artillery Master! This meant that Deirdre could be the second Delib! A hero with incredibly strong basic attributes plus a mysteriously terrifying hidden profession¨Cher future could be even mightier than Delib¡¯s! How could the Indian Zone not rejoice? Delib laughed heartily, ¡°Excellent, I¡¯ll take this crossbow cannon with me. It¡¯s too noisy here; I¡¯ll go back and study it slowly. Siriel, my friend, I¡¯m looking forward to your soaring career!¡± Siriel¡¯s flames soared anew, ¡°Lil¡¯ B, I definitely won¡¯t disappoint you!¡± Amid the laughter, Delib opened a space gate and disappeared in a flash. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Siriel laughed loudly as he took out a scroll blazing with flames, ¡°You truly deserve to be my disciple, and not only that but also my most capable and most loyal one. I¡¯m proud of you. Take this; I¡¯ve trained many heroes, and actually, becoming a hero is this simple! That ancient tree was just farting! I look forward to you contributing all your wisdom to my cause!¡± Deirdre, excited, took the scroll and asked, ¡°Mentor, what is this?¡± Siriel laughed and said, ¡°As long as you can survive until level 50, you¡¯ll be immortal. You¡¯ll be a true hero!¡± For a time, the Indians cheered once again. The entire Demon Camp turned into a stage for the Indians¡¯ revelry, attracting the attention of players from various countries.

Chapter 134 - Chapter 134 Chapter 130 One Shot Three Realizations Chapter 134: Chapter 130: One Shot, Three Realizations Chapter 134: Chapter 130: One Shot, Three Realizations The Pool of Radiance, as another insect nest fell, a golden light descended upon Da Fei. ¡ª System Prompt, ¡°Congratulations! You¡¯ve leveled up to level 30! You¡¯ve earned +1 free attribute point, +1 Skill Point, +1 Command Power, +2 Life, +1 Personal Damage, and +1 tactical position.¡± ¡ª System Prompt, ¡°Congratulations! Your secondary profession as a Junior Navigator has earned you +1 free attribute point.¡± Level 30! This was the smooth capture of the 50th insect nest. The Forest Goddesses in Da Fei¡¯s team had already reached 49, and such a scale of level 4 troops, along with an ever-expanding Flower Demon swarm that had snowballed to a massive 1,100, made the battle extremely simple. First, our army disrupted the Military Factory to delay progress, with allied forces blocking off the path to delay the Spider Demons¡¯ reinforcements further, coupled with Da Fei¡¯s ever-expanding military power, allowed the recapture of the Pool of Radiance to progress like a hot knife through butter! Now, on the sailboat, everywhere you look is covered with Flower Demons; their numbers surpass even the insects! Such a colossal swarm of Flower Demons formed a magnificent light curtain as they playfully circled the sailboat, leaving behind a trail of light. As my physics teacher would describe it, it¡¯s like an electron cloud formed by electrons revolving around the nucleus. There were so many Flower Demons, with their fragile 2 points of life; there is nothing more to say. I¡¯ve been waiting for this Skill Point for a long time to learn the sub-skill under Advanced Defense Skill, Unlimited Vitality. Continue adding attribute points to Defense. ¡ª Unlimited Vitality, ¡°All troops¡¯ Life +2, prerequisites: Advanced Defense Skill.¡± Now, Da Fei¡¯s Lonely Hero Hundred Victories Achievement added +2 points to all troops¡¯ Life, the Spider Demon Armor adds +3 points to all troops¡¯ Life. Now, the skill adds another +2 points, bringing the Flower Demons¡¯ Life to 9 points, reaching the level of mid-to-high 1st level troops! It was a leap-like qualitative change! The Flower Demon Army¡¯s ability to withstand magic attacks reached nearly 10,000 in tolerance limit! That is to say, the Hell Race¡¯s Abyss Lords would have to assemble over 300 to cast fireballs simultaneously to deliver a fatal blow to my Flower Demon Army. Otherwise, they¡¯ll be injured but not dead, then easily healed by my Forest Goddess Army with a Healing Skill! But is it that easy to gather 300 Abyss Lords? 6th level units, Abyss Lords, require 8 points of Command Power. Current players, considering their rank and treasures, can at most carry 30 of them; it would take 10 such players! Would my God-level Reconnaissance Technique easily let me be surrounded by ten people? No way! That is to say, I¡¯m not afraid of those Hell players¡¯ Abyss Lords! My swarm can wipe out one at a time! Can your forces withstand my swarm? Plus, the Hell Race doesn¡¯t have any long-range units yet, so I don¡¯t have to worry about the Flower Demons taking losses. It¡¯s me who had them in control! Wahahaha! This is the terror of 0-level troops with unlimited numbers and no need for Command Power! If I could obtain the three B-level treasure components of the legendary Combined Divine Artifact ¡°Holy Blood Bottle,¡± the +2 Life Vitality Ring, the Life Ring, and the +3 Life Blood Bottle? Damn, then the Flower Demons would indeed defy the heavens! Unfortunately, the components of any Combined Divine Artifact are never sold in NPC stores, and the market price among players has skyrocketed, so currently, it¡¯s unthinkable.

But you can¡¯t blame Da Fei; life is full of uncertainties, who knew a player aspiring to be a merchant would take on the task of resisting evil? Come on, bro¡¯s life is full of no regrets, fix up the barracks and prepare for the next one. Now that there are so many Flower Demons, repairing a barracks is a matter of seconds. But really no regrets? At least Da Fei always has a thorn in his heart, and that¡¯s Deirdre still being in Asan¡¯s clutches. If Deirdre is really abducted, the Banshee Camp he spent a fortune building would turn into a joke. But of course, Da Fei isn¡¯t arrogant enough to think he can take on a country or even multiple countries alone; he always plans for the worst and prepares for the best. So, a very real problem is, if Deirdre is really abducted, what happens to the Banshee Camp? There must be someone to follow up, right? So naturally, Da Fei pins his hopes on the two little sweethearts who are making fast progress on the BOSS path. Since Deirdre, as a BOSS, can be an instructor, they too can become instructors, right? Then the only hope is to try to train them into instructors before they reach adulthood? How to train? Bro, this head is clueless about special soldier training! Da Fei feels utterly bewildered. Anyway, he hasn¡¯t seen what their attributes are yet. Taking advantage of the Flower Demons fixing up the barracks, Da Fei heads to the gun cabin. Before he even goes downstairs, he hears laughter and joy below. Da Fei is taken aback. What¡¯s this? Going down to see, damn! The two little sweethearts are dancing and teasing the other gunners with their bare butts! Share, who says mixing soldiers lowers morale? The morale is explosively high now! This is clearly a rhythm to make the other gunners burst, isn¡¯t it? Turns out these soldiers have intelligence after all? Just wasn¡¯t tapped into usually? As the Captain appears, everyone immediately goes to their respective places. The two little sweethearts also pretentiously check the cannons. Da Fei amusedly chuckles, what the heck do you know about checking cannons? Come, let bro check your butts! ¡ª Growing Leader Charm Emperor: Small-size leader demon creature, Attack 37, Defense 27, Damage 27-41, Health 247, Attack Speed 11, Command Value 25, Fire Resistance 75%, Magic Resistance 50%, Special Skills: Chain Shooting, Flying Creature, Scout, War Plunder, Agile Evasion, Charming Technique. Da Fei can¡¯t help but widen his eyes! This Attack, Health, and Defense have already reached the level of a tier 7 soldier! They are still underage, what might happen when they mature? Very good! Really good! Da Fei laughs and asks, ¡°What were you playing just now?¡± The two little sweethearts busy say, ¡°The weird uncles taught us how to shoot cannons!¡± Da Fei is suddenly surprised, ¡°They can teach?¡± No way? None of these skilled gunners have the ¡°training¡± special skill, how could they teach? The little sweetheart points to a regular Banshee operating Da Fei¡¯s cannon position: ¡°She knows! We asked her why she knew, she didn¡¯t know either. Then during the days the Captain was resting, she really didn¡¯t know anymore, but just now she knew again!¡± ¡°So we just asked those weird uncles, and they taught us!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyes shrink in astonishment! These two little fellows, oh no, they¡¯re quite big now, not small anymore, to what extent have they grown? They talk fluently about so many things? And such a strong desire for knowledge? Da Fei asks in shock, ¡°Did the weird uncles teach you successfully?¡± The little sweethearts say shyly, ¡°It¡¯s hard¡­¡± A crowd of gunners discontentedly say, ¡°Captain, we are not weird uncles, okay? We are familiar with you, but if you keep talking nonsense, we need a raise!¡± Da Fei is stunned speechless, okay if the little sweethearts can talk, but gunners can say weird things too! How could they, they¡¯re neither heroes, NPC, nor BOSS, where did the intelligence to say weird things come from! Wait! This is triggering a special scenario and special storyline! This situation city lord players most commonly encounter during public tests, like when the city lord appears, suddenly hearing a few guards who would never talk say something like: ¡°Heard someone spotted a treasure in XXX¡±, and the city lord immediately getting a clue. Then those soldiers go back to normal. Meaning, now these ordinary soldiers suddenly burst with intelligence, there must be an important event emerging! Special scenarios are often fleeting opportunities, as a skilled player, Da Fei certainly knows this must be related to shooting cannons! Da Fei¡¯s mind races, the first reaction of course is to distract that ordinary Banshee: ¡°Come, let me teach you how to shoot cannons, let you know what it feels like to shoot cannons!¡± ¡°Heroes who learn War Machine Science can designate an ordinary humanoid soldier to shoot for them, the damage counts as the hero¡¯s, and has nothing to do with the soldier¡¯s attribute. So, what would happen if he designates this knowledge-hungry little darling to shoot in this special scenario?¡± As a gaming expert, Da Fei had a vague feeling that something was bound to happen. Under Da Fei¡¯s instruction, the little darling fired once, twice, thrice, loading Crossbow Arrows into the gun cabin, exclaiming while loading: ¡°Oh my, I really have gotten a lot more skilled!¡± This is promising! Da Fei became excited and exhilarated! ¨C¡°Ready! Aim!¡± ¡°Aim at whom?¡± So much nonsense! Da Fei could already confirm what was about to happen, ecstatically said: ¡°Just aim at whoever looks good to you!¡± ¡°Oh! I aim at the tree roots!¡± ¨C¡°Fire!!!¡± ¨CBoom pop pop! The Crossbow Cannon fired three times in a row! The little darling was overjoyed: ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± At the same time, a golden light descended from the sky and shone on the little darling! Within the golden light, the little darling grew bigger, a girl turned into a young woman! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your Leader Charming Emperor has grown and comprehended ¡°Basic War Machine Science¡±! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Leader Charming Emperor has learned all the skills and officially matured! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully passed on the Banshee species skill, comprehending the sub-skill ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± of special soldier training! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have obtained information on Master-level War Machine Science. Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped in shock! So this special scenario was a sign of the little darling coming of age! And then, just with one shot, two skills were comprehended? But why did information about Master-level appear? No time to think further, opportunities come and go in a flash, Da Fei immediately assigned another little darling, stepped up to the machine seat, excitedly said: ¡°Come on, let me teach you too!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Good, good!¡± Three continuous shots, another golden light descended, the second little darling learned Basic War Machine Science and officially matured! At the same time, the Master information appeared again! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have obtained information on Master-level War Machine Science. Da Fei suddenly realized, a teacher not only imparts knowledge, solves doubts but also subtly improves oneself! (Due to work backlog over a holiday, I am too busy and exhausted.)(To be continued.

Chapter 136 - Chapter 136 Chapter 131 Leader-level Charm Emperor Emerges Chapter 136: Chapter 131 Leader-level Charm Emperor Emerges Chapter 136: Chapter 131 Leader-level Charm Emperor Emerges Da Fei finally knew what the so-called ¡°insight¡± into Master-level and God-level mentioned by the Ranger Guild Master and Mrs. Anwen was all about. The so-called ¡°opportunity¡± was probably triggered by special scenario plots like just now. Currently, Da Fei had gained insight into both the Master-level and God-level Reconnaissance Skill through different methods. Master-level came from monsters overloading and self-exposing their weaknesses, God-level came from training rare young banshee apprentices when a treasure temporarily increased skill limits. Both methods were very special and not universally applicable, as rare young banshees were already unreliable. The normal insight should require triggering special scenario plots like what happened earlier. So how did special scenarios appear? Several factors might need to be fulfilled. As in the example from before, arranging for them to fight with the creepy uncle artillerymen may have been a prerequisite. Then came the banshee nearing adulthood¨Cit was their last chance to learn before solidifying, worth a showcase arranged by the system to remind players. Then players seized this opportunity to impart skills while they still had learning abilities. Thus, not only did firing that cannon insight into Master-level, it also granted special soldier skills. No, perhaps special soldier training itself was necessary to trigger the special scenario; otherwise, it might have been impossible to teach them, and thus insight wouldn¡¯t have occurred. In short, the appearance of this so-called ¡°opportunity¡± of a special scenario was indeed coincidental and mystical. But one thing was certain, the more random, high-end skills players possessed, the easier it was to trigger the scenario conditions for insight. Just like developing stealth fighter jets, it¡¯s never the work of one discipline. Various materials engineering, engine manufacturing, and electronic components had to be high-end; otherwise, focusing hard till death still wouldn¡¯t break through. Looks like having varied skills also had its perks! In that moment, Da Fei felt incomparably joyful and enriched, having attained enlightenment. At this time, the matured Charming Emperor and Deirdre looked exactly alike, their enchanting mature figures stunningly alluring, perfectly fitted to drain Da Fei¡¯s vitality dry! The most obvious difference was the faint fiery glow in their pupils, a flicker of light as they glanced around, a mark of powerful coolness that Deirdre didn¡¯t have! Truly, one generation surpassed the last! Wait, weren¡¯t they undressed? Then how did they hide underwear in their butts? Damn! This was what Deirdre referred to as Charming Emperors capable of reaching the level of seventh-tier troops, yet they were the BOSS form among them! Da Fei eagerly checked their attributes with great excitement! ¨CLeader-level Charming Emperor (individually nameable): Small-sized leader Demon Creature, Attack 67, Defense 47, Damage 77-117, Health 1047, Attack Speed 13, Command Value 50, Fire Resistance 75%, Magic Resistance 50%, Special Skill: Chain Shooting, Flying Creature, Scout, War Plunder, Agile Evasion, Charming Technique, Basic War Machine Science. At that instant, Da Fei¡¯s tears streamed down his face in excitement! BOSS! Over 1000 health of a BOSS! This Attack and Defense contest well with the crocodile BOSS encountered at Pirate Island back in the day! The key part is they are ranged! And of the Chain Shooting variety, this damage beats the Titan! Even eighth-tier soldiers were nothing compared to this, too strong! Too overwhelming! They were soldiers personally brought out from the flames of war by Da Fei, an existence impossible to replicate! Turning a regular 30-health banshee into a 1000-health BOSS was a miracle of life! Why was Da Fei so formidable? Just because he was that formidable! Haha, wahahaha! However, my darlings, why did your Command Value requirements have to be so high? If it weren¡¯t for picking up a Supervisor¡¯s Whip adding 100 Command, I wouldn¡¯t handle you at all! Well, being hard to handle was better! You get what you pay for! BOSS could be named individually, right? One would be called Didi, the other Lili, in honor of their mom who might run away anytime! Ah! Wait, they still didn¡¯t have the ¡°Training¡± special skill! The barracks were just for show then! It felt like a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured over Da Fei, extinguishing his frenzy at once. No, no, no! They hadn¡¯t solidified yet! They didn¡¯t possess the banshee¡¯s racial Transformation Skill. Deirdre mentioned this skill was only for BOSS-level banshees, which meant they still had room to grow. From the current experience of nurturing BOSSes, every time they learned a skill, they¡¯d flash with white light and attributes would leap, meaning these weren¡¯t their final attributes yet. After all, it¡¯s a BOSS! A BOSS¡¯s growth, needing no reason! Just then, Da Fei¡¯s arms were sandwiched by the two charming beings on his left and right, pinning and cooing, ¡°Master~~ Teach us how to fire cannons again? We only have basic skills, so embarrassing!¡± Firing cannons! My greatest desire! Da Fei instantly swooned, hugging their small waists joyfully, ¡°Good! Good! One at a time!¡± ¡°No~~! No~~! Both together!¡± Ah! Double-action! Another of my greatest desires! With two conflicting desires, I was so troubled, so pained! I had to attain Master-level War Machine Science and learn the legendary God-level sub-skills ¡°Mechanical Reinforcement¡±! ¨CMechanical Reinforcement: Increase carrying slot for one Siege Machine. Prerequisite for learning: Master-level War Machine Science. This Divine Skill, what did it mean? It meant Da Fei could control one more Crossbow Cannon. Double damage! One Crossbow Cannon was terrifying enough, being able to control two simultaneously was unimaginable! Of course, it wasn¡¯t limited to just Crossbow Cannons. During sieges, players could have two Siege Machines, in field battles they could carry two medical tents, and so on. But even with a Divine Skill, the egg-pain aspect of War Machine Science remained unremedied. One more Crossbow Cannon meant the time for players to assemble and disassemble Crossbow Cannons went from 20 minutes to 40 minutes! Doubling the egg-pain! No chance during a PK, and leveling up was out of the question too. However, Da Fei¡¯s situation was different, right? Da Fei was the Captain of a big Gun Cabin ship! So how to gain insight into Master-level? The answer was in sight¨Ccontinue training them, advancing them from basic to intermediate, and even beyond! After all, with students so strong, the teacher should obviously be stronger too. And to train them, of course, relied on the newly comprehended skill, Banshee Artillery Instructor. ¨CBanshee Artillery Instructor: Banshees are very intelligent troops. Their high intelligence gives them an exceptional understanding of machinery, granting you a certain chance to impart Banshee War Machine Science. Effect chance is related to your ¡°Special Soldier Training¡± level. Needless to say, from Da Fei¡¯s experience, this skill must also be a double-barrel blast. Successfully increasing the Charming Emperor¡¯s Artillery Skill didn¡¯t just bring steps toward Master-level but also intermediate special soldier training insights? Generally speaking, this skill wouldn¡¯t be useful for field players who could only carry one Crossbow Cannon, but for defensive players with multiple cannon platforms, or for big players like Da Fei with large gun cabins, it would be somewhat useful. And that was to have all the creepy uncle artillerymen making 5 gold a day go out of business! Then let¡¯s start. Since it was imparting, naturally it involved leading by example. Da Fei, the expert, had transcendent comprehension ability too. No more words, first dispatch Didi to the Crossbow Cannon, while Da Fei taught hands-on from behind! Skill, use! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your troop, Charming Emperor Didi, has learned Basic War Machine Science. You cannot continue imparting skills. Da Fei was taken aback! No way? Was Da Fei¡¯s War Machine Science level too low? Or was his Special Soldier Training level too low? Anyway, continuing to train the Charming Emperor seemed infeasible. Da Fei had no choice but to turn his gaze to the ordinary adult banshee. He had to give it a try. ¨CSystem Prompt: You used the ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± skill on your Banshee troops. The skill failed. You consumed 20 stamina points. Sudden joy struck Da Fei! It could work! Although it failed, direct system prompt failure was different from being unable to continue! She was the first produced from the Banshee Camp, ugly and lacking presence compared to the stunning young girl form of that magnificent youth. Unexpectedly, at this moment, she bore the burden of upgrading Da Fei¡¯s skills. Indeed, teaching minors was no great ability; teaching adults counted as true skill! Just then, more system information arrived. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSystem Prompt: Your troops successfully repaired a Flower Demon Camp. ¨CSystem Prompt: 1 Forest Goddess joined your team. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Deputy Officer Catherine recruited 20 Flower Demons from the wild camp for free. Oh yeah? Wasn¡¯t Catherine suddenly too proactive? She used to ask for instructions for everything? Very good, that¡¯s how Da Fei liked it, saving Da Fei a lot of trouble. Come on, the next target, Da Fei was going to train this banshee in actual combat!

Chapter 137 - Chapter 137 Chapter 132 The Imminent Final Assault on the Pool Chapter 137: Chapter 132 The Imminent Final Assault on the Pool of Radiance Chapter 137: Chapter 132 The Imminent Final Assault on the Pool of Radiance Elf Kingdom General Staff Department, applause thundered. The recovery of the Pool of Radiance progressed at an unbelievably rapid pace, filling the NPC officers with joy. However, Eternal Star, the idle onlooker, was extremely anxious. From his years of professional gaming experience, Eternal Star could already deduce that the Super Hero in the Pool of Radiance was not an NPC, but a player. Other than Da Fei, the offline swindler, who else could this player be? Having such a powerful player out of his control and being unable to contact him felt absolutely terrible. What¡¯s equally bad is Bu Feiyan struggling in the twisted space. The constantly changing scenes and monstrous creatures that abruptly appear challenge the capabilities of this beautiful professional gamer and her think tank behind her. In any case, it¡¯s a good thing this isn¡¯t live broadcast, or it would be utterly embarrassing. All they could look forward to now was the main event ¨C the defense of the Pool of Radiance. According to intelligence from the frontline reporters, the Military Factory of the Hell Camp has almost been repaired, and their offensive is about to begin. After acquiring a large number of Abyss Lords, Dragon Slayer also lost the interest to fight any longer; actually, most nations have become reluctant, harboring the selfish intent to preserve their forces. For them, especially those organizations just making up the numbers, the benefits of the National War simply cannot compare to the gains from the Abyss Lords. They would rather the National War end sooner. This meant that the Multi-National Joint Army was now completely disorganized, providing an opportunity for the Star Guild to make a name for itself worldwide! The braver prevails in a narrow path, and those who seek to preserve their strength and harbor ulterior motives are the most likely to fail. Star decides to mobilize the entire China Region Elf Clan, sparing no costs and disregarding casualties, to wipe out the enemy¡¯s level 6 troops and not let a single one return to their own country. If they were allowed to return, would that even be acceptable? Why did the Star Guild¡¯s famous hero, ¡°Griffin Breeder,¡± level up so quickly? Because that account started with a level 4 troop, the Griffin. If a level 4 troop could lead to a successful start for an account, then so many level 6 troops could allow an ordinary player to level up as if riding a rocket while fighting monsters, questing, and running instances with their eyes closed. Given time, would the Bright Alliance even have a way to survive? Actually, Eternal Star has always doubted whether these level 6 troops would be reclaimed by the system after the National War. Otherwise, it would not make sense. However, it¡¯s a risk that cannot be taken. The more brutal the fighting, the greater the advertising effect, and the more glorious Star will be. As long as they can use the power of one guild to defeat the entire Hellish Alliance Army of the world, Star will be the undisputed number one guild in China. Finally, the NPC officers grew uneasy: ¡°Great Elder, we have detected the burrowing sounds of the Hell Race. The Military Factory of the Hell Camp is back in operation!¡± Eternal Star quickly said, ¡°Great Elder, can we go into battle now?¡± The Great Elder chuckled, ¡°No rush, our Super Hero can still hold back the enemy forces!¡± Can we stop talking about this Super Hero, please? Are tens of thousands of Chinese players supposed to wait for just one person? Eternal Star urgently said, ¡°Great Elder! We can¡¯t let the Super Hero feel isolated and unsupported!¡± Ah, this is a way to probe the NPCs to see how many resources they¡¯ve actually prepared for this superstar player. The Great Elder chuckled and said, ¡°Warrior, this is a game of consuming national power between us and the Demon King. In fact, both the Demon King and our Kingdom are focusing on the New World. We are both trying to slow down each other¡¯s development in the New World. The unexpected fall of the Pool of Radiance has provided both sides with such an opportunity. It¡¯s a battle we must defend, and it is also an excellent bait to attract the attack of the Demon King. The one who can use the smallest price to deplete the opponent the most in this battle will be the winner! And the Super Hero has taken on our mission. Therefore, Warrior, we will not transport our troops en masse until it is absolutely necessary.¡± Eternal Star was stunned! Was this National War just a bunch of nonsense? Even the NPCs didn¡¯t take it seriously, yet I have to pay any price? That¡¯s simply absurd! Anyway, after making a name for ourselves this time, our guild will wholeheartedly move to the New World, leaving the NPCs to cry wolf in the old world. ¡­ In the Demon Camp, dozens of India were struggling agonizingly, suspended above the Flame Magic Array. Thousands of players from various countries crowded around the array, laughing uproariously. ¨C¡°Hello, player friends, it¡¯s witch 007 here to continue with the live broadcast. Some players from the Indian Zone have been punished by the Execution Officer for setting up barricades on strategic routes, blocking the arrival of Spider Demon reinforcements. This is the scene of the incident, let¡¯s wait and see!¡± Siriel¡¯s roar echoed throughout the camp: ¡°In the name of the Demon God, I curse them, requesting the Demon God to seal their powers. They will be unable to improve their abilities for half a year. This is the fate of traitors!¡± In the array, red lightning flashed wildly, and the dozens of India screamed loudly, silencing the thousands of onlookers! ¡ª Player friends, I¡¯ve just received battlefield information that these dozens of players from the Indian Zone have been system-banned for half a year¡¯s levels, meaning they cannot level up for the next half year! I didn¡¯t realize the game had such severe punishments!¡± A bunch of Chinese players rushed in front of the camera and laughed loudly: ¡°India¡¯s brother got caught cheating, system-banned for half a year!¡± ¡°After being banned for half a year, why are they still playing? Might as well start a new account, can reach level 30 in half a month!¡± ¡°Exactly, their accounts are as good as dead! Serves them right, haha!¡± ¡°Ahem, in any case, the players on site are extremely outraged by India¡¯s players breaking the game rules, this is Witch007 bringing you the live broadcast from the front lines.¡± Siriel shouted again: ¡°Warriors, the Spider Demon army is almost here, our factory¡¯s new batch of warships will be launching soon, prepare for battle! The Demon King¡¯s rewards await you, and the power of Demon Gods protects you!¡± Players from multiple nations roared in response, then looked at each other, whispering amongst themselves. Just saw a chicken getting slaughtered earlier, if we don¡¯t charge, will we also get banned? It¡¯s for sure, this NPC is too clever. Do we have no choice but to charge? Meanwhile, players from the Japan Zone have already started to band together with players from the American Zone, with players from the Indian Zone lining up on the shore waiting to board. Japan has no choice but to charge, India has been yellow-carded by Siriel, while America has fewer players and came for sightseeing, so it doesn¡¯t matter. Of course, for some team members, it did matter a lot. ¡­¡­. At the Pool of Radiance, the Flying begins its attack on the 51st insect nest, as the swarm of insects becomes no match for the overwhelming Flower Demon Army in the sky. With Da Fei¡¯s strategic attribute and the additional +2 damage from the Captain¡¯s Sword, these Flower Demons became a terrifying force with 20 Attack, 29 Defense, 3-4 Damage, and 9 Health points. Against those 0 Attack and Defense, 0-1 Damage, and 1 Health point insects, it was like Angels trampling ants. To save Mana, they didn¡¯t even need to use Swarm Disturbance, but simply crushed them in a lopsided melee, with countless beetles falling into the pool, turning into mist and disappearing. Da Fei, in the Gun Cabin, kept drinking water to replenish his Stamina, and was also constantly feeding exquisite food to the adult Banshee, recovering her Stamina. Over 50 failures already, is training an adult Banshee really this difficult? Amidst his annoyance, Da Fei¡¯s message alert went off, it was Lei Huolong. Lei Huolong: ¡°Brother Fei, the roadblock has been discovered by an NPC. When the Spider Demon reinforcements arrive, it¡¯s our time to set sail. We¡¯ve decided to lay low and conserve our forces until the National War ends. It¡¯s agreed, Chinese don¡¯t fight Chinese. We¡¯ll provide the foreigners¡¯ locations to Brother Fei, so you watch out as well.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched, the battle is finally starting? I still have so many nests to clear? But it¡¯s good! Can¡¯t wait to finish it all! Chinese don¡¯t fight Chinese? Right, they probably won¡¯t backstab me if they want to buy my Inheritance Scroll, but you can¡¯t be too careful. I need to assert my presence to discourage any funny ideas. Da Fei chuckled: ¡°No worries, if I spot a bunch of foreigners on their own, I¡¯ll clean them up along the way, it counts as glory for our country.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lei Huolong was astonished: ¡°Brother Fei, everyone has an Abyss Lord, no jokes!¡± Da Fei smiled faintly: ¡°For the country¡¯s glory, no joke!¡± Humph! I know you guys have Abyss Lords; that¡¯s why I¡¯ll slay them for you to see. Otherwise, you might think I¡¯m just playacting as a Super Hero? I¡¯ll show you the power of the Flower Demon Army¡¯s defiance! Lei Huolong could only reply: ¡°Then take care Brother Fei, contact me if anything comes up.¡± ¡°Right, will do.¡± Heh, probably the boss told him to be polite, calling ¡®Brother Fei¡¯ this and ¡®Brother Fei¡¯ that, not very convinced, huh? Fine, I¡¯ll make you, the top dog in Chinese Hell, acknowledge me wholeheartedly. (To be continued.

Chapter 138 - Chapter 138 Chapter 133 Spending Gold Coins to Increase Skill Chapter 138: Chapter 133: Spending Gold Coins to Increase Skill Levels Chapter 138: Chapter 133: Spending Gold Coins to Increase Skill Levels The great battle is imminent, and the Flying is still urgently recovering the Pool of Radiance, recruiting as many Flower Demons and Forest Goddesses as possible. If all the purification tasks could be completed before the enemy¡¯s overall attack, that would be ideal. Unfortunately, the enemy is not fooling around and won¡¯t let Da Fei have his way. Therefore, if it comes to the worst, we can only adopt the old lady¡¯s plan and teleport to the Abyss Blood Pool to swap places with the enemy. Now, Da Fei continues to train Banshees non-stop in the Gun Cabin. With a blast of the cannon, after who knows how many failures, a white light descends from the sky onto the Banshee. Success! Da Fei is ecstatic! ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully trained your Banshee into a Banshee Artillery! You have spent 500 Gold Coins, received a new type of troop, and have advanced your special soldier training skill to ¡°intermediate¡±! ¡ª System Prompt: You have obtained information on Master-level War Machine Science. Da Fei is stunned! Damn, I thought it was a double success, mastering Grandmaster as soon as I succeeded, but it seems that Grandmaster is still on the way! Does it mean I have to train the Banshee¡¯s Artillery Skill to intermediate or even advanced level? But why did it consume Gold Coins! Is it because adult classes must be paid? But it¡¯s good too, as I expected, understanding intermediate special soldier training isn¡¯t bad. Da Fei starts to check the attributes of this Banshee Artillery. ¡ª Banshee Artillery: Attack 15, Defense 10, Life 35, Damage 6-13, Attack Speed 10, Move Speed 16, Command Value 2, Fire Resistance 90%, Magic Resistance 45%, special skills: Charm, Chain Shooting, Basic War Machine Science. Training cost: 500 Gold Coins. Not bad! An extra special skill, and with a flash of white light, the basic attack and defense attributes have significantly improved! Ordinary Banshees only have an attack and defense of 6 points each, this is almost the level of a tier-5 troop! Not to mention, just the cost of recruiting the Banshee at 350 plus the training cost of 500 really does put it at the solid tier-5 troop level, even close to some tier-6 troops! That is to say, even if they don¡¯t shoot cannons, they can still be used as tier-5 troops? However, this so-called tier-5 troop seems too weak, enough for control at tier-4, but the output damage value is too low for tier-5, and as artillery, they are obviously not as good as a seasoned seaman who comes with Advanced War Machine Technology and is a Crossbow Master. In a word, this troop¡¯s cost-performance ratio is too low, not perfect, just like the weird troops often developed by the players of the Undead Race. Nothing much to say, continue training. ¡ª System Prompt: Sorry, your current special soldier training skill level cannot continue training this type of troop. What? Is it that my skill level isn¡¯t enough? Is it that I¡¯m too dumb to teach, or are the troops too dumb to learn? Same old rule, switch personnel! A Supervisor Boss Banshee must be smarter than her, if this still doesn¡¯t work, then it¡¯s my problem. Da Fei switches Charming Emperor Didi to the Crossbow Cannon, uses the skill. ¡ª System Prompt: This training will cost 500 Gold Coins, if it fails the Gold Coins will not be returned, do you confirm to continue? Damn! Wasn¡¯t it always free? Why is it charging now? Isn¡¯t this just like when training the Scout Banshee? Da Fei hurriedly checks the introduction of the skills of the Banshee Artillery Instructor! Sure enough, there is an extra line behind the description stating ¡°Training cost 500 Gold Coins¡±! Apu! Da Fei spews a mouthful of old blood! Although special soldier training is a mysterious, player self-comprehended main skill, to extract a money-charging option is too frustrating? I rather not perfect it! Nothing to say, since it dares to charge, then the system must get things done for the players, as long as the system doesn¡¯t directly indicate unable to train, then it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s just money, right? I scammed 30,000 from merchants, mayors personally sponsored 10,000, then spent 25,000 training Scout Banshees, then made a profit of 20,000 by topping a level 8 troop hero, then fetched 5,000 by knocking down the Supervisor Boss, then it seems that American gave about 300, then somehow I gave these weird uncle artillery soldiers their wages, all in all, now I still have 40,000 on me, Brother Fei, financially powerful, able to afford the expenditure! ¡ª System Prompt: You have spent 500 Gold Coins on training Charming Emperor Didi as an artilleryman! ¡ª System Prompt: Very sorry! You have failed to advance Charming Emperor Didi¡¯s War Machine Science level! Oh yeah, just like that, 500 gold coins washed away. Continue! 10 times have passed, 5,000 Gold Coins are gone, Didi¡¯s Stamina is also not enough. Change people, Lili come! Another 10 times have passed, 10,000 Gold Coins are gone! Change people, has Didi eaten and drunk enough? Continue! Another 10 times have passed! A total of 15,000 Gold Coins are gone, Da Fei starts to feel uneasy! If it is confirmed that raising Charming Emperor to intermediate would allow comprehension of Grandmaster, Da Fei has no complaints. The problem is the uncertainty! What if reaching intermediate doesn¡¯t allow comprehension of Grandmaster? It¡¯s already so hard even training to intermediate, surely there won¡¯t be enough money to train to advanced? In the midst of anxiety, a white light descends from the sky, and the pleasant sound of a system prompt resounds! Da Fei¡¯s heart suddenly leaps to his throat! ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully promoted Charming Emperor Didi¡¯s War Machine Science to intermediate, Charming Emperor Didi¡¯s attributes have improved, Attack +3, Defense +3, Life +10. ¡ª System Prompt: You have obtained information on Master-level War Machine Science. ¡ª System Prompt: You have obtained information on Advanced Special Soldier training. Apu! The bigger the hope, the bigger the disappointment, and Da Fei just spat out another mouthful of old blood! It took so much effort and money to reach intermediate, not even aiming for grandmaster, yet I didn¡¯t even comprehend the Advanced Special Soldier training. Even Advanced Skills are starting to show off with ¡°obtaining information¡±! Can¡¯t Advanced Skills be comprehended in one go? Next up, Lili! Failure! Failure! The 10th failure! The 11th! Finally, a flash of white light! Lili successfully ascended to intermediate! The same message appeared again! Grandmaster is still on the way, and so is advanced! I don¡¯t believe this! Continuing to switch people, the Banshee Artillery is up. System Prompt still unable to train! Da Fei was suddenly stunned! Now, three people can¡¯t train anymore, this is as far as the skill training goes. Where exactly is the problem? At least one thing is certain, the BOSS has high intelligence, so the BOSS can be forcibly upgraded to intermediate, but ordinary Banshees can¡¯t. Maybe, the problem lies in the continuous failures? Think about it, if an instructor can¡¯t even train a soldier to basic without continuous failures and relying on luck, how can this instructor smoothly advance to higher skills? So perhaps there is only one answer, when you can ensure a 100% success rate in training soldiers, the skills will naturally upgrade. That means, to upgrade other skills might rely on ¡°epiphanies,¡± but to increase the level of special soldier training must be based on accumulating real practical experience? Does it mean that Brother needs to recruit a ship full of Banshees, and once I can guarantee that every attempt successfully upgrades them to artillery, the skill will naturally upgrade? Regardless if this idea is correct or not, wasn¡¯t the initial intention of creating the Banshee Camp to recruit a full ship of Banshees? Now it comes back to Deirdre¡¯s issue. The instructor isn¡¯t here, the camp is useless now! Da Fei could only helplessly embrace the two sweethearts and lamented, ¡°Can you operate the Banshee Camp on the ship?¡± The two sweethearts looked troubled and said, ¡°Master, our Banshee Camp is not in the territory of Hell, and there is no population to recruit Banshee warriors. If we could train like Master Deirdre, we could still summon warriors, but we can¡¯t either.¡± Da Fei sighed deeply, just as expected. What now? I finally found a way to advance to the grandmaster level, and it¡¯s going to be put on hold because Deirdre isn¡¯t here? Or should I buy Banshees from Hell Race players later? Damn, isn¡¯t this genuinely frustrating? How is Deirdre now? Da Fei begins to check the Task Hint in the ¡°Hero¡¯s Road¡± mission, Deirdre¡¯s favorability has dropped to 55%! Da Fei was shocked on the spot, eggs scattered all over the floor! How is Asan making progress so quickly! How is Asan so skillful in flirting? During this moment of dismay, Da Fei¡¯s message sounded, it was Lei Huolong again. Lei Huolong: ¡°Brother Fei, Spider Demon reinforcements have arrived, swarming around and covering the entire ceiling. We are waiting behind them, Japanese and India are leading the charge, Brother Fei, take care.¡± The battle has finally begun! Da Fei instinctively asked, ¡°What has India been up to recently?¡± Lei Huolong bursts into laughter: ¡°India has goofed, got dozens of accounts banned by NPCs, anyway their goal is to recruit a Female Hero, shouldn¡¯t be a big threat to Brother Fei.¡± Who says it¡¯s not a big threat! It¡¯s 55% there! Cut it out! I won¡¯t let Asan be complacent. Da Fei gritted his teeth and said: ¡°Don¡¯t tell me you guys aren¡¯t interested in Female Heroes? Female Heroes are awesome!¡± Lei Huolong was left speechless laughing: ¡°True that, Brother Fei, indeed the only one in the China Region who leads with beautiful Vice Heros, and even two at that, definitely an enviable expert!¡± Da Fei also chuckled: ¡°The advantages of Female Heros, truly endless to talk about, even a big country like India values her so much, after all, she¡¯s a product from China, making it cheap for Asan isn¡¯t too good.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Lei Huolong was suddenly shocked: ¡°Indeed! India has been encircling that Female Hero, making it difficult for anyone to get close, with Japanese on the side to help, now with India being warned they¡¯re all out, we can finally see clearly!¡± Da Fei hurriedly said: ¡°What¡¯s there to see clearly! Take her down! Take her down!¡± Lei Huolong laughed loudly: ¡°Interesting! Interesting! Alright, we are queued anyway, no, I¡¯ll personally go see the depth of that beauty! Haha! Brother Fei, keep busy!¡± Da Fei was gritting his teeth, his heart bleeding! There¡¯s nothing to be done, just have to hope the intervention of Dragon Slayer could interfere and pull some favorability away from Asan, giving me time. I need time! As long as I finish the National War before you guys deal with it, there won¡¯t be any problem! (Vote for various tickets!) (To be continued.

Chapter 139 - Chapter 139 Chapter 134 The Second Encounter Chapter 139: Chapter 134: The Second Encounter Chapter 139: Chapter 134: The Second Encounter The battle was imminent, and Da Fei went to the deck to find the old lady first. Anwen chuckled, ¡°The enemy moves very fast indeed. However, the Spider Demons¡¯ first attack target is the barracks we once repaired, so we can get closer to the teleportation point while continuing to clear out the insect nests along the way and keep gathering forces. That¡¯s how we can create more trouble for the Spider Demons. In short, that¡¯s all we can do to help the Kingdom¡¯s high-ranking officials.¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°Ah, half of the insect nests are still uncleared. With our ship in its current state, I really feel uneasy setting sail.¡± Anwen shook her head, ¡°War never guarantees absolute victory. We are indeed taking a military risk, and so is the opponent.¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°The lady is right. You have worked hard during this time. Rest a bit before the great battle begins.¡± Anwen laughed heartily, ¡°It¡¯s a surprise to find a young man caring for an old lady like me. I thought the Captain would only care about young girls. Indeed, I need to take a break.¡± Da Fei felt chills down his spine and a wave of coldness, damn, is the old lady jealous of young girls? But I¡¯m showing respect and care for the elders! Alright then, I¡¯m about to set off and beat up the Demon Kindergarten. Da Fei could only respond with a dry laugh, ¡°Rest well, ma¡¯am. I got this!¡± ¡­ The Demon Camp was swarming with Spider Demons emerging from the Ancient Passage, covering the sky. These giant spiders, as large as adults, effortlessly moved across the rocky walls of the Underworld. Without any hesitation, they plunged into the golden barrier of the World Tree. Demons are divided into many races, the most common being the Fire Demons born from lava and the Blood Demons born from blood, which make up the mainstay of demon society. However, the Demon world contains even more bizarre hybrid demons that are the offspring of demons crossbreeding with local species during invasions of various planes. These hybrids serve as Demon Servants or slaves in demon society, and the Spider Demons are a relatively favored species among the Demon Servants. In fact, the Beastmen were once slaves to the Demons, but in ancient times, they gained their independence after defeating the Demons under the leadership of a Beastman Legendary Hero named Bulkeso. That¡¯s the storyline accessible to Beastman Players. Now, the appearance of Spider Demon reinforcements has captured the world¡¯s attention! Seeing such a massive force in reinforcements, players from different nations with their own agendas couldn¡¯t help but feel bolstered with courage. Well then, let¡¯s go for it. Japan claims to be the strongest in the Demon world, but completely lost its leadership in sending troops and battling with the Wisdom Ancient Tree. So this was Japan¡¯s last chance to reestablish its leadership image, and they must strive for victory by all means. Other nations think about preserving their level 6 troops, but Japan is focused on the ultimate outcome of the National War! For the ultimate result, for establishing leadership, even the loss of all level 6 troops is worth it. ¡ª-¡°Dear fellow players, hello everyone, due to the destruction of the Demon Race Military Factory and the obstruction by some players, the quiet National War has officially erupted! This is not a National War happening in the New World, and there is no precedent from public testing, so it has drawn the curious eyes of players around the world. What impact will this National War have on the China Region? Will the World Tree be destroyed by the Hellish Alliance Army? What benefits can each participant gain from this National War? Let¡¯s wait and see. This is live reporting by front-line reporter Witch 007 for everyone!¡± Now, Japan, the United States, and India, these three titans, boarded the first batch of giant paddle ships laden with corrupt soil. Nearly a thousand mighty paddle ships churned the water, charging into the Pool of Radiance. For the American Zone travelers, nothing else mattered but to find that guy named Dafei, then swarm him and sink his ship! There was no way his battleship could sink so many giant paddle ships at once. Although the winds blowing upwards from the abyss of the Pool of Radiance were rather strong, they were still nothing compared to the sea winds. Plus, there were no big waves here, making it still the home turf for the giant paddle ships. Once targeted, he couldn¡¯t escape! ¡­ At the same time, at the Elf Kingdom General Staff Department, a group of officers, who had been watching the situation with detached tranquility, finally showed signs of serious determination. The Great Elder issued the order solemnly: ¡°Open the World Tree passage and mass-produce Tree Leaf Boats! We must annihilate the invading Hell Army in this battle!¡± The action has finally been taken! Eternal Star let out a long breath, feeling as relieved as though he had just relieved long-held constipation! ¡ª China Region World Announcement: Attention! The race-based National War between the Hell Race of all zones versus the Elf Clan of the China Region has begun! All Elf Clan players who have received the recruitment quest, please stop any tasks and battles. In three minutes, the system will teleport quest participants to the Farolan World Tree Square. ¡ª World Channel [Eternal Star]: Players of the Elf Clan in the China Region, today we fight a battle that will capture the world¡¯s attention. Today we demonstrate the spirit and style of players from the China Region. Today, we must fight with style, skill, and character, and thoroughly trounce them! Let¡¯s go, into battle! ¡ª World Channel [Divine Emperor]: Ninth Heaven wishes players in the China Region a triumphant start! For a while, the entire World Channel was flooded with messages from tycoons. On the front lines, Da Fei also let out a long sigh. Damn, at last, I¡¯m not just playing a solo game. But raiding a Demon Kindergarten is still playing solo, right? Damn it! At this moment, under Da Fei¡¯s concentrated fire, the 53rd insect nest issued a sharp shriek as it collapsed. Da Fei¡¯s Flower Demon Army immediately advanced to carry out what could be the last round of repairs, recruiting the last Forest Goddess and also giving the old lady more time to rest and recover. After all, once at the Demon Kindergarten, the old lady might not have any time for recovery. Perhaps the insect nest¡¯s shrieks had alerted some clever enemy players. Just as the Flower Demons were repairing the barracks, Da Fei¡¯s Reconnaissance Skill sounded an alarm! At the same time, several large red dots appeared on the mini-map. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Warning! 3 enemy warships are approaching you, please be on guard. Oh? They¡¯re coming? 3 warships, huh? Let¡¯s have a look! Da Fei pulled out his binoculars and looked in the direction of the red dots on the mini-map: 1 Japanese warship, 1 American warship, and 1 what? India? They were approaching rapidly in a triangular search formation. Damn, you guys are really skilled, tracking me down all the way to the edge of the Pool of Radiance. But with your formation, aren¡¯t you just asking me to defeat you one by one? Fine, whether or not you have a large force behind you, just three ships, I¡¯ll take you out first! Defending the homeland is everyone¡¯s responsibility, after all. Of course, the main point is, the barracks are about to be repaired, giving up a Forest Goddess would be a huge loss. She¡¯s not just any ordinary tier-4 unit, she¡¯s a healing tier-4 unit! Rare! (Votes of all kinds are sought, especially recommendation tickets)(To be continued.

Chapter 140 - Chapter 140 Chapter 135 Capturing the Abyss Lord Chapter 140: Chapter 135 Capturing the Abyss Lord Chapter 140: Chapter 135 Capturing the Abyss Lord Akihabara, Mitsubishi Software Center Command Headquarters, Japan. ¡°Report! A super hero from the China Region has been discovered! Please order, team leader!¡± ¡°Keep an eye on him, let¡¯s consult our American allies first.¡± Bangalore, Eight Divisions Command Headquarters, India. ¡°Minister! A storyline task player from the China Region has been spotted.¡± ¡°Keep an eye on him, see what the United States and Japan are going to do.¡± Hell Bar, Los Angeles, United States, where the usual hysterical rock music has been replaced with a grand harmonic symphony. ¡°Sir, Dafei has been found! He seems to have a lot of troops. Japan and India are asking about the next step.¡± SawSaw burst into laughter: ¡°Yo ho! Here I come!¡± Captain Howell without hesitation: ¡°Attack! Otherwise, he will escape! Let the Japanese send more reinforcements.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± At this moment, facing the encirclement of three countries¡¯ battleships, Da Fei trembled with excitement and nervousness! It¡¯s one against three! But now he is not the same as before, with a BOSS-level Charming Emperor supporting him from inside and over a thousand Flower Demons outside, he¡¯s not afraid of any tricks you may play, he could flip you over even with his eyes closed! Da Fei looked through the telescope at the military strength of the three ships. In addition to a few Demon Children and shipworkers, each ship had more than 20 Abyss Lords. Truly, these are the experts of each country, with considerable command power. However, my 1200 Flower Demons, each with 9 hit points, can withstand 10800 points of magic damage. It would require at least 400 Abyss Lords simultaneously casting advanced Fireballs dealing 27 points of basic damage to annihilate my army of Flower Demons. Even if you players know some attack magic, there¡¯s no way these 60 Abyss Lords could threaten a single hair of my Flower Demon Army. That is to say, if I just place these 1200 Flower Demons in front of the ship as a shield, it would form an indestructible magic shield. In this case, the effect of group attack spells like advanced Fireball, which have lower basic damage, is far less effective than targeted attack spells. I¡¯ve got you figured out. Better keep the Flower Demons hidden; it won¡¯t be good if they scare the opponents away. Da Fei starts calculating rapidly how many Flower Demons he needs to use to annihilate each enemy ship completely. After all, he still has to go to the kindergarten and needs to save as much of the Flower Demons¡¯ mana as possible. The moment was nearing, as the three giant paddle ships cleaved through the waves, facing the enormous ship that intercepted them, each command post¡¯s commanders frowned deeply as if facing a formidable enemy. Just then, behind the giant ship, lights flickered, and countless Flower Demons flew out, forming a stunning curtain of light in front of the Flying. ¡°Oh my God!¡± The command centers of the three countries erupted! ¡°Attack!¡± The sheer number of Flower Demons shocked the commanders of the three countries, and their minor health points also triggered their intense desire to slaughter! The Abyss Lords roared with flames enveloping their bodies, and dozens of giant Fireballs with long trails bombed towards the group of Flower Demons¨Cboom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!! In an instant, the group of Flower Demons was submerged in a sea of fire, the entire underground space illuminated brightly by this massive blaze! Such is the impact of the Abyss Lord¡¯s Fireball! In large-scale wars, Abyss Lords rarely make a move, but when they do, it often means destruction and decides the battle! Such a grand visual effect made everyone in the command center stand up, clenching their fists tightly! The glow of fire had not yet dissipated, the rumbling still echoing underground, when countless buzzing swarms of bees descended like dark clouds, engulfing all the troops on the three ships! Ah! A scream, the Indian player fell first under the attack of the bee swarm. The entire Indian Command Center was in shock! The soldiers had not yet perished, but the hero fell first? Ah! Two more screams, and both the Japanese and American players have fallen! The giant screen on the wall goes black¨Ca one-shot kill! The Three Countries Command Center erupts into chaos! ¡­ At this moment, Da Fei¡¯s vision is flooded with red light, obscuring the battlefield situation, but a flood of battle report messages pop up! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Flower Demon Army has cast Swarm Disturbance Magic and killed 60 enemy Demon Servant Shipworkers. ¡ª System Prompt: Your Flower Demon Army has cast Swarm Disturbance Magic and killed 22 Demon Children. ¡ª System Prompt: Your Flower Demon Army has cast Swarm Disturbance Magic and killed the enemy player Wei Tuotian. ¡ª System Prompt: You have defeated player Wei Tuotian¡¯s troops, and 5 Abyss Lord troops have surrendered to you! You have eliminated player Wei Tuotian¡¯s remaining troops! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Flower Demon Army has cast Swarm Disturbance Magic and killed the enemy player Abamao. ¡ª System Prompt: You have defeated player Abamao¡¯s troops, and 6 Abyss Lord troops have surrendered to you! You have eliminated player Abamao¡¯s remaining troops! ¡­¡­ ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! You have defeated enemy camp¡¯s Indian player Wei Tuotian, defeated American player Abamao, defeated Japanese player Kaze Majin Kojiro, you have gained 1131 Gold Coins, 12731 Experience, +870 Prestige, and you obtained the C-level strategic treasure: Telescope x3, and you¡¯ve received 16 Abyss Lord troops that surrendered from the enemy. ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! You have achieved ¡°Victory in the 6th Battle¡± and received an additional reward of +3 Command Power. Looking at this long list of system prompts and as the red light gradually disperses, Da Fei bursts into a long triumphant laughter! Victory was expected, but such a massive unexpected gain was not! Capturing 16 Abyss Lords! When a player¡¯s main commander is killed, most of their remaining troops will fight to the death; some will escape, and a few will surrender. Now, in this maritime battle environment, especially with the lethally harmful water of the Pool of Radiance for demons, the Abyss Lords definitely can¡¯t swim to escape¨Cunlike the remainder of the sailors from the Skyshattering Cannon merchant group that Da Fei once ambushed. Thus, the chance of their surrender significantly increases! This unexpected outcome was because Da Fei miscalculated! Da Fei originally planned to instantly wipe them all out with Swarm Magic, but accidentally overlooked the high Magic Resistance of the Abyss Lords! With 50% or more of anti-demon, the Flower Demon¡¯s 3-point damage only inflicts slightly more than 1 point of damage, meaning that to instantly kill them, Da Fei would need twice the number of troops! But precisely because of this, although the Abyss Lords took the Swarm Magic¡¯s damage for the heroes, the Abyss Lords were too tough to die, whereas the main commanders without Magic Resistance died first. As the flames dissipate and understanding dawns upon him, Da Fei, looking at the scattered Abyss Lords waited to be recruited on the three giant paddle ships, is practically speechless. Wait! There¡¯s still a problem! One, I don¡¯t have enough Command Power to take them away! Two, these Abyss Lords are massive like bulls, fitting on a demon-made flat-bottom open paddle ship is fine, but definitely not on my kind of sailing ships! Damn! This is too tricky, these are 6-tier troops that normal players, no, normal nations consider treasures! I can¡¯t take them? Can¡¯t fit them? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only No, there¡¯s still a way¨Cstationing them in the wild! In the game, if players conquer wild mines or barracks¨Cwhich usually happens in the New World, as most facilities in the Old World are held by NPC kingdom forces¨Cthey can station some troops and materials for defense. The combat power of stationed troops is on par with wild monsters and the main purpose of stationing is actually to prevent disturbances from enemy players who try to mine. Now, if Da Fei repairs this Flower Demon Barracks, then it will be like Da Fei has occupied a wild barracks, and can station troops¨Cthat is, station troops outside the perimeter of the barrack. However, this barracks is built on water surface roots, which really is a tricky terrain detrimental to stationing large-bodied troops like the Abyss Lords. The only way is to tow the demons¡¯ ships to the visible roots under the barracks and tie them together; if three ships are connected in a row, it might even reach the level of Cao Cao¡¯s linked warships from the past. Only this method remains, maybe it will be destroyed by foreigners, or maybe it will be spared by them, to win is fortunate, to lose is fate. Besides the 16 surrendered 6-tier troops, the rest are just three Telescopes Chapter 141 - Chapter 141 Chapter 136 Using Life to Consume Mana Chapter 141: Chapter 136: Using Life to Consume Mana Chapter 141: Chapter 136: Using Life to Consume Mana Da Fei¡¯s instant annihilation of three players indeed shocked the players from the United States, Japan, and India, but precisely because Da Fei appeared so strong, they had to desperately kill him; this child cannot be allowed to live! So, with a command from Captain America, the first wave of reinforcements, consisting of 13 warships, charged full speed to the battlefield. Meanwhile, the second wave of reinforcements, comprising 20 warships, also set off at full speed to prevent any mishaps. No matter how powerful the Flower Demons were, they only had 10 points of mana. As long as they didn¡¯t mind sacrificing themselves to exhaust the Flower Demons¡¯ mana, the prey¡¯s defeat was certain. At this moment, facing the 13 warships rushing in full speed on the mini-map, Da Fei, who had just tasted victory, found it thrilling and was even more eager to fight, rather than run away! Think about it, each ship surrendering 5 or 6, and 13 ships surrendering over 70! The key is, if I have 70 soldiers, plus the 16 soldiers that have just been stationed, such a large 6th-level force specializing in high Blood Defense magic is stationed here, who would dare to attack? It¡¯s definitely a God-level Monster! Yes, if I was worried that the 16 soldiers I just got would be taken down, then with an additional 70 soldiers, that would ensure stability! I would have really secured them. Well, this is a human flaw. In the face of greed, people often lose their rationality. Of course, this is not just Da Fei¡¯s flaw; aren¡¯t many investors the same? They say they will sell when stocks go up, but when they actually rise, they¡¯re reluctant to sell. At this moment, Da Fei was quickly thinking of strategies to deal with the enemy. The 13 warships were too numerous to be taken down in one fell swoop, so he decided to kite them! Under normal circumstances, sailboats are slower than oared ships, but with magic sails, it was a different story. Moreover, I have the sailing skill, uh, let¡¯s not even mention my skill level, the key is that my First Officer, Catherine, has a master-level navigation skill with a master-level pirate sailing speed bonus, and these main battle team members from various countries definitely don¡¯t have sailing skills! Thus, my skills were enough to close or even make up for the gap between ship types, enabling me to boldly kite them! Since I discovered them first, it¡¯s time to run away from their encirclement and gain a favorable position, then take them down one by one! A guerrilla war between the hunter and the hunted began! Meanwhile, at the center of the Pool of Radiance, a huge patch of green light descended, the entire lake bed reverberated, and a large island emerged from the surface, lifted by the tree roots soaked in the lake water. Then, white light flashed wildly, and thousands of Elf Clan players from the China Region appeared densely on the island. In the green light, countless large leaves floated into the water, forming tree leaf boats seen only in fairy tale plays. Then, a large number of Flower Demons flew down from the sky, each group of more than a dozen heading towards these boats, holding onto the large leaf stems, briskly pushing the boats to the island¡¯s shore and calling out, ¡°Warriors, please board the ship!¡± The whole island was in an uproar! Comparing with the steel-like large ships of the Demon Race, these leaf boats seemed like a giant pit to screw you over! Will they sink while sailing? But the game is just a game; you have to trust its quality. The players by the shore couldn¡¯t wait and were the first to board the ships to get a feel. Pushed by the Flower Demons, the leaf boats sped away from the shore like flying. Immediately, there were exclamations from the shore and the ships, ¡°So fast! So cool!¡± ¡°Hurry, hurry, the ones in front, board the ships quickly!¡± ¨CRegional Channel [Old Jiang]: ¡°Hello to all you player friends and Star Guild members, I¡¯m Old Jiang from the Star Guild. I¡¯m in charge of the command for this national war. I must tell you, this will be a very brutal battle. We are facing high-level troops from the Hell Race of various countries, so all members, please be mentally prepared and carry out seemingly suicidal orders resolutely! Meanwhile, for the sake of our common victory goal, we ask ordinary players to trust our Star Guild¡¯s capability and cooperate with our command. Once again, thank you all.¡± An uproar of applause and cheers erupted across the island, with shouts of ¡°Star!¡± ¡°Star!¡± echoing throughout. At this moment, Eternal Star was negotiating with Ma Yinglong of Dragon Slayer. ¡°Chairman Ma, with the war imminent, what are your plans?¡± Ma Yinglong sighed, ¡°President Long, if you were in my shoes, in this tough spot, could you teach me what to do?¡± Eternal Star chuckled, ¡°I think, regardless of who wins in the end, at least one thing for sure, we cannot let the foreigners take advantage. This is our China Region¡¯s territory.¡± Ma Yinglong sighed, ¡°I think the same! Anyway, Chinese don¡¯t hit Chinese, or else we¡¯ll be mocked domestically and laughed at abroad.¡± Eternal Star laughed, ¡°No problem! But I do hope Chairman Ma gives the foreigners a stab in the back.¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled, ¡°Of course! By then, you¡¯ll all be wiped out in one strike.¡± After the dialogue among chairmen ended, Ma Yinglong received another message, this time from Lei Huolong. Lei Huolong: ¡°Boss, an earth-shaking discovery! I got a nurturing task from that female hero monopolized by Asan! That lady hero is top-notch! Her attributes are scarily high even at just level 5, her specialty is¡­¡± Ma Yinglong hurriedly interrupted, ¡°No picture, what¡¯re you talking about?¡± ¡°Here, I¡¯m posting the picture¨Cby the way, this female hero is the one Asan nurtured in the Wisdom Ancient Tree last night, especially easy to control; as long as my favorability quota reaches 50%, I can turn her!¡± Ma Yinglong stared at the picture for a moment and then ordered, ¡°OK! Absolutely get her over! Give her whatever she wants! If necessary, we¡¯ll bust Asan¡¯s ass!¡± ¡°Understood!¡± ¡­ At the edge of the Pool of Radiance, Da Fei¡¯s Flying stood facing the approaching fleet in the distance. Da Fei saw an old acquaintance, SawSaw! Through the telescope, the two stared at each other in four lenses; Da Fei pulled out the Speed Cloak, flaunting it, and the other party gave a distant middle finger! Wahahaha! The tycoon brother from America, I missed you so much! At this moment, the approaching fleet did not rush forward but changed formation, trying once more to surround the Flying. With a cold snort, Da Fei scorned the attempt to encircle him, ¡°Did my adept sailing skills not deter you? Then there¡¯s only one possibility; there are reinforcements behind you! It¡¯s time to take the lion¡¯s share!¡± Seizing the moment, Da Fei waved his hand; the Magic Energy Wind Sail rose, a strong wind blew, and the Flying abruptly accelerated, charging straight at the outermost ship of the Japanese formation! This divine skill once again caused a stir in the command centers of various countries! Knowing defeat was inevitable and undeterred, the Japanese warship charged with full power! Each side had its unwavering determination, one to capture the opponent¡¯s 6th-level soldiers alive, the other to deplete the opponent¡¯s mana, resulting in a booming explosion and mutual destruction! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You¡¯ve defeated a player with the Japan faction, Rie Kugimiya, gaining 212 Gold Coins, 3430 Experience, and 300 Reputation; you¡¯ve obtained a C-level strategic treasure: Telescope, and acquired four surrendered Abyss Lord troops from the enemy side! Wahahaha! What a great start! Who will be next? Looking at the four surrendered Abyss Lords on the defeated ship, the command centers of various countries suddenly realized! The purpose of this Chinese player was actually to recruit 6th-level soldiers! Captain America Howell immediately ordered, ¡°The nearest ship, eliminate the surrendered troops! The rest, close in tightly!¡± Just as Da Fei was searching for the next target, he suddenly saw a ship join alongside the defeated one, overpower the four surrendered Abyss Lords with over twenty Abyss Lords and kill them. Da Fei was left dumbfounded! What on earth are you doing! Fine, so you think I only have Flower Demons and plan to exhaust my Flower Demons¡¯ mana to finish me off, huh? What naivety! I need just 400 Flower Demons to resist two or three shiploads of Abyss Lords¡¯ fireball attacks! I have so many Flower Demons that I can switch them to rest and fight in shifts. As for firepower output, well, I had no choice but to unleash the God-level Monster Druids for clean-up duties! Initially, I planned to conserve their mana, but it looks like I can¡¯t show any mercy toward imperialism now! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only A thunderstorm struck, and another warship was defeated! Da Fei¡¯s wild laughter echoed through the underground. ¡°Oh my god! It¡¯s a Druid!¡± ¡°How did this Chinese player get so many resources from the system!¡± The appearance of the new troops again shocked the Three Countries Command Center! With a cold gaze, Howell commanded, ¡°Send in the third wave of reinforcements! We must destroy him!¡± (All kinds of votes requested!) (To be continued.

Chapter 142 - Chapter 142 Chapter 137 Actually Its Just a Conventional Naval Chapter 142: Chapter 137 Actually, It¡¯s Just a Conventional Naval Battle! Chapter 142: Chapter 137 Actually, It¡¯s Just a Conventional Naval Battle! At last, Da Fei¡¯s Thunderstorm destroyed the second enemy warship, but the opponent still pressed forward resolutely, executing surrendered prisoners with no concern for Thunderstorm¡¯s fearsome reputation. Da Fei furrowed his brow. At this point in the battle, no one should take the other as a fool anymore. The opponent was convinced he was the key player in this mission and wouldn¡¯t stop until he was dead. There was no chance of getting any advantages from them now, so forget it, he had important things to do, and he¡¯d let them go. Da Fei approached the old lady seated on the deck, leisurely snacking on sunflower seeds while watching the battle, and asked, ¡°Lady Anwen, can we set off now?¡± Anwen chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t you think Miss Catherine is quite enjoying herself at the helm right now?¡± Surprised, Da Fei looked up at the helm. Indeed, Catherine¡¯s face was flushed as she eagerly spun the wheel. Anwen smiled, ¡°Captain, the enemy ship¡¯s speed is inferior to ours, and its maneuverability is even worse. Furthermore, our Flower Demon Army blocked all their magic attacks. To me, they look like lambs to the slaughter, and this battle is sure to be won. Why should we retreat?¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat, indeed! The advantage of oar-powered ships was their exceptionally fast speed and strong impact, earning them the sea bull moniker. But like bulls, their fast speed came at the cost of terrible maneuverability. Catherine had them circling aimlessly, unable to form an effective attack formation. Not only were they poor at maneuvering, but even their speed wasn¡¯t impressive. After all, these were the main players from different countries, especially the Hell Race, who couldn¡¯t learn Sailing Skills or have the Professional Skills Ship Control Skill. After a few turns, even their prized speed advantage was outdone! Anwen continued, ¡°Naval battles and land battles are completely different concepts! In land battles, as long as you have many soldiers, you won¡¯t lose too badly. But naval battles require a high level of technical proficiency. Without it, more soldiers or ships won¡¯t help, which is exactly the situation the opponent faces now. If we abandon a battle certain to be won, it will not only demoralize our forces but also hinder the commander¡¯s growth. It seems Miss Catherine needs real battle experience to improve.¡± Da Fei finally understood completely! Yes! Hadn¡¯t he already predicted they would fall short, which was why he dared attack? There was no need to retreat! They were essentially landlubbers, like ducks on a ship, and despite their numbers, could be taken down single-handedly! Perhaps this was why the Elf Clan trusted him to take on ten opponents single-handedly? In fact, he didn¡¯t even need to use magic; just the Crossbow Cannon Hunter could take them down! But¨C Da Fei quickly asked, ¡°What¡¯s happening with Miss Catherine¡¯s improvement?¡± Anwen laughed, ¡°She told me about simulating Mysterious Stealth Navigation. Although Mysterious Stealth Navigation might require God-level Navigation Skill, her Master-level Navigation Skill coupled with the Master-level Pirate¡¯s 25% speed boost effect achieved a Grandmaster-level effect, which is the key to her enhancement.¡± Da Fei was surprised, ¡°The key?¡± Anwen nodded, ¡°Exactly! A hero¡¯s skills complement each other. With the aid of Pirate Skills, her Navigation Skill attained the speed effect of Master-level Navigation Skill. This proximity to Grandmaster ability makes pirates easiest to truly comprehend Master-level Navigation Skill. Miss Catherine needs a true understanding opportunity, and war often provides the best chance to train talent. Heroes often enter an intense state during war, leading to unexplained improvements, which is why we can¡¯t pass up this sure victory!¡± I see! This was just like when he had comprehended God-level Reconnaissance Technique! Get close to a godly state to find the feeling and then comprehend it the other way around! Da Fei exclaimed in surprise and delight, ¡°Good! Then let¡¯s fight¨Cbut, will this delay our journey to attack the Abyss Blood Pool?¡± Anwen smiled bitterly, ¡°Who knows what¡¯s on the other side in the Abyss Blood Pool? Who can guarantee arriving early will yield benefits? I think seizing the opportunity to improve oneself steadily is the best strategy for facing unknown challenges!¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°The lady makes a valid point!¡± Ah, women, always like that, valuing tangible gold bricks over mountains of gold in front of them. What they can firmly hold onto assures them the most. Alright, then let¡¯s fight heartily! Da Fei called to Catherine, ¡°Darling, we¡¯re going all out!¡± Catherine laughed heartily,¡±That¡¯s what I have in mind! Captain, fight without worries, these rookies won¡¯t collide with me!¡± With her assurance, Da Fei felt at ease! Bring it on, he¡¯d behead them one by one! Heroes were the commanders of armies; the most direct way to destroy an army was to behead the hero. The behead strategy greatly depended on terrain and formation. In simple terms: strike from a position of height, like shooting a bird sticking its head out. Currently, Da Fei was in such a position, standing on the ship¡¯s deck with the enemy hero not being able to hide, and the soldiers couldn¡¯t act as a human shield. It was a living target for Crossbow Cannon picks! Of course, SawSaw¨Cthe Great Demon student¨Cappeared to have greater teleport range than the crossbow, but no worries, the Flying welcomed you! The Flying¡¯s Magic Sail turned, heading boldly towards a nearby Japanese warship, all bluster and no substance. Come on! His Banshee Artillery might also need actual battle training! ¨CBoom pop pop! A volley erupted, and amidst the debris and flying flesh, a flash of light! Successful beheading! ¨CSystem Prompt: You killed the Japanese player from the opposing camp, Ninja Ryutaro, and his forces are in disarray! Oh yeah! That was simple! How foolish of me earlier! I didn¡¯t need any magic! Initially, I was intimidated by the oar ships¡¯ aggressive charges and Abyss Lord¡¯s fireball. It turned out as long as the Flower Demon meat shield blocked those fireballs, this naval battle was just a regular sea conflict! Regular? No, no, no, this was a one-sided slaughter wasn¡¯t it, there¡¯s no difference from when I hijacked merchant ships! Hahaha! Resistance meant death! Keep firing! Hey, why are you all resisting? ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You defeated the Japanese player from the opposing camp, Ninja Ryutaro, gained 252 gold coins, 13,230 experience, and 290 reputation. You acquired a C-grade strategic treasure: Telescope. Captured 6 crew Demon Servants, and 2 Demon Children from enemy surrenders! Ah-choo! Da Fei sneezed nose dirt! Screw you! Not one High-level Soldier surrendered, and the surrender spots were all taken by such weaklings! Seems the reasoning behind using magic is justified after all! This was plainly trying to frustrate me! Then shoot down low-level soldiers to clear the field, then behead, then recruit High-level Soldiers! The Flying¡¯s Magic Sail turned again, radiating murderous intent, moving towards another warship. At that moment, chaos reigned at the Three Countries Command Center! All were top-class professional players worldwide. If the power of the opposing party remained unclear from the initial three probing ships, these latest three ships¡¯ defeat made it clear. No, they had uncovered something while circling before the battle even began! Indeed, this player qualified to move NPCs¨CSuper Hero player! Dominated both naval, magic war, and soldier strength, this advantage apparently couldn¡¯t be made up for with numbers! The opposing party was a sea expert, while no one on their side even learned the Navigation Skill. After all, Hell Race players were born in Lava Land without trading voyages gameplay! Now, all eyes were on Captain America! Captain America appeared grim. This was the largest challenge faced since he commanded, with only similar pressure comparable to fighting aliens! For the United States, admitting failure was painful and inconceivable, something he certainly didn¡¯t want to happen to himself! SawSaw immediately said, ¡°Sir! Maybe I can do it! Although there¡¯s no guarantee, I must try it!¡± Howell¡¯s expression tightened, ¡°Where are our second and third reinforcement fleets?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Sir, they¡¯re at coordinates (6421,112) and (6419,112) maritime!¡± Howell said deeply, ¡°Wait to assemble with the reinforcement fleet! Then launch a full offensive! Change the formation of the reinforcement fleet to intercept!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!¡± At this time, the remaining ten warships collectively turned. Da Fei chuckled, thinking, Want to run? No way! Chase them! (Seeking all kinds of votes!!!) (To be continued.

Chapter 143 - Chapter 143 Chapter 138 God-level Sea Battle Hero Makes an Chapter 143: Chapter 138: God-level Sea Battle Hero Makes an Entrance Chapter 143: Chapter 138: God-level Sea Battle Hero Makes an Entrance When Da Fei was pursuing the defeated enemy, the national war in the central area of the Pool of Radiance officially erupted. Japan and India¡¯s main fleets formed dense charge formations and launched an assault on the dense sea of leaves. Although the giant paddle ships had difficulty turning and might falter in small-scale duels, once they were in formation, it was akin to a cavalry charge. Faced with the overwhelming charge fleet, Star dared not engage head-on, using the natural cover of tree roots throughout the Pool of Radiance to leverage the speed advantage of the Tree Leaf Boats to circle from the flanks. But such a vast force couldn¡¯t simply avoid confrontation entirely. For a time, the China Region¡¯s fleet was split in two by Japan and India, and the separated wings were scattered by charge ships from other European Union countries, sparking a chaotic battle with fireballs flying everywhere. In the first round of concentrated bombardment by the clustered fireballs, nearly a thousand of China¡¯s warships turned to ashes in the sea of flames. This was the power of the Magic Forces! And this was just the ordinary form of the Abyss Lord. If it were the regular army form, it would be even more terrifying, deploying a high-level Meteor Shower from the sky. The damage of the Meteor Shower wasn¡¯t much higher than the fireball, but its area was vast, and more importantly, the attack path came from above, unlike fireballs which were launched in a ground-based attack that could be blocked by city walls or large troops. Therefore, the destruction wasn¡¯t on the same level as the fireballs. Even though the China Region suffered a grievous first-round blow, the Elf Clan¡¯s enormous advantage was that their Level 2 and 3 Soldiers were all high-quality ranged units, while the Hell Race¡¯s misfortune was that they had no ranged units below Level 3. As long as they weren¡¯t boarded, they could fire happily, pinning the Hell Race¡¯s players to the bottom of their ships, not daring to show their heads. But once boarded, it was a one-sided massacre. Abyss Lord with an attack of 21, defense of 21, and melee damage of 13-23 was formidable among Level 6 Soldiers, easily defeating ten Level 2 or 3 Soldiers without breaking a sweat. In this chaotic battle, as long as Dragon Slayer didn¡¯t sell out the country, Star was determined to win at all costs. Of course, if Dragon Slayer dared to sell out, Star would still achieve the goal of eliminating competition, which would also be a significant victory. At that moment, the Japanese zone felt incredibly frustrated under the barrage. The Hell Race wasn¡¯t suited for naval battles. Although the Japanese zone brought a large number of modified Level 2 ranged fireball soldiers, they were ambushed by the cunning Chinese. But it didn¡¯t matter. Even though the current chaos seemed to show the Hell Race at a disadvantage, the Elf Clan hadn¡¯t gained a decisive upper hand because their margin for error was low. A single mistake leading to collision or boarding meant defeat. The Abyss Lords were heavily armored and durable, not easily killed, even after prolonged shooting. In such a confused and congested large army battle, avoiding mistakes with a light boat was extremely difficult. Therefore, the Japanese zone remained confidently determined to win as well! The first-round casualties of the China Region far exceeded those of the multi-national joint army. At this time, within the Elf Kingdom General Staff Department, Eternal Star, who was constantly monitoring the army¡¯s battle reports, felt a bit unsettled. The first round¡¯s losses were the guild¡¯s backbone members, who had to lead the charge; otherwise, ordinary players wouldn¡¯t follow. Their loss only amounted to the consumption of the Abyss Lords¡¯ Mana. Judging by the current situation, even after draining Mana, the Abyss Lords remained formidable Level 6 Soldiers, and the class disparity made the battle extremely stagnant, unfavorable to the China Region if dragged on. At this time, an officer reported, ¡°Elder, our 30 Flower Demon barracks have fallen again. The number of Spider Demon reinforcements exceeded our expectations!¡± Eternal Star immediately sought advice from the Great Elder, ¡°Great Elder, our losses are heavy, and the enemy still has massive Spider Demon reinforcements. Shouldn¡¯t we also deploy some powerful troops?¡± The Great Elder then asked the officer at the sand table, ¡°What¡¯s the status of our Super Heroes?¡± The officer replied, ¡°They haven¡¯t continued clearing the insect nest nor have they gone to the Abyss Blood Pool.¡± Hearing this, Eternal Star furrowed his brow again. Who on earth was this Super Hero? What exactly was he doing? If he was as powerful as some advisors claimed, wouldn¡¯t his participation change the situation? The problem was, why on earth wasn¡¯t this bastard participating! For a moment, Eternal Star ground his teeth in hatred. The Great Elder shook his head and then said to Eternal Star, ¡°You make a very valid point. We should indeed continue to send reinforcements. Resisting the Hell invasion shouldn¡¯t be solely an Elf Clan matter, but a matter for the entire Bright Alliance. So immediately issue a coalition summoning order and call the Allies to action.¡± ¡°What the heck!¡± Eternal Star couldn¡¯t help but blurt out. ¡°Why are you only preparing to call for reinforcements now? What took you so long? Seeing you all initially calm like Immortals, I thought you really ascended to sainthood!¡± A group of advisors urgently said, ¡°Great Elder, if we do this, the other side will mock us as weak and incapable of self-reliance! We have reserve troops, don¡¯t we?¡± The Great Elder¡¯s beard twitched, ¡°Don¡¯t rush to use the reserve troops! Precisely because they mock us, we should more unabashedly demand reinforcements; otherwise, wouldn¡¯t we be at a great loss? Oh, and issue a volunteer summoning order. Yes, volunteers, so we owe nothing to anyone. All volunteers will enjoy the same merit treatment as Elven Warriors.¡± ¡°Yes, Great Elder!¡± Eternal Star was suddenly shocked! ¡°What the heck! Now surely Ninth Heaven will mobilize, right? They will definitely come to steal the limelight!¡± ¨CChina Region Bright Alliance National War Information: The Hell Army is advancing fiercely, the battle at the Pool of Radiance is extremely tragic, and the Elf Kingdom sincerely invites volunteers from the Bright Alliance with merit points above 10,000 to join the battle. Interested Bright Alliance volunteers from various nations are invited to lead their troops to the military officers outside the City Hall of the main cities in the Elf Kingdom to sign up for battle. Once the information was released, the World Channel was in an uproar! As expected, the Ninth Heaven, one of China¡¯s three major guilds, immediately reacted. ¨CWorld Channel [Divine Emperor]: Although we¡¯re far from the Elf Kingdom, with a real-world journey of two or three days, we will still mobilize the members closest to the Kingdom for support. I believe fellow Stars will not let us arrive a step too late. Anyway, no need to thank us; just call us the Red Scarves. ¨CWorld Channel [Eternal Star]: Welcome, players from China Region¡¯s Bright Alliance, to join us in this grand event. At this point, everyone had to share the cake. At this moment, at Elf Kingdom¡¯s Elorin Port, tycoon players from Blood Sea Studio who were determined to develop this as an ocean-going export trade base saw the world information and couldn¡¯t help but feel invigorated! Brother Tian laughed heartily, ¡°Aren¡¯t we just conveniently in the Elf Kingdom? Isn¡¯t our troop type specialized for naval battles as Level 4 Pirate Soldiers? Isn¡¯t this the perfect opportunity for Blood Sea Studio to make a name for ourselves?¡± Little Ma laughed, ¡°These Pirate Soldiers are Atao¡¯s treasured darlings. Better ask him first.¡± Brother Tian snorted, ¡°Pfft! Atao, who doesn¡¯t care about spending hundreds of thousands to millions of RMB, would actually care about these soldiers!¡± Shaodong laughed, ¡°It¡¯s not like he earns the money; he doesn¡¯t feel the pinch. These soldiers were accumulated through his day and night tasks on Pirate Island, so they feel different to him.¡± Just then, everyone¡¯s messages dinged¨CBlood Sea Wave mass-messaged his friends, ¡°Don¡¯t move; wait for me to come and lead!¡± Everyone burst into laughter! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Since Blood Sea Wave was clean-swept by Da Fei, he went alone, in the guise of a rookie, to try his luck in the wilderness sea area closest to the Elf Kingdom. Luck was on his side; he was captured by a bearded pirate captain named Barak, who held a position second only to the Desolate Barbarian Pirate Leader, Rock. Gifted with exceptional talent and performing well in tasks, Blood Sea Wave became his carefully cultivated disciple, not only learning various pirate skills but also the most crucial hidden skill, ¡°Undercover Spy.¡± In other words, mastering this skill allowed Blood Sea Wave to hide his pirate identity and freely roam the Kingdom. Of course, this skill wasn¡¯t very secretive; it was a public secret that pirates had spies in the Kingdom. With his dual identity, Blood Sea Wave had a bright future, prompting his studio to start planning for an Elorin-Island of Desolation-Human Kingdom golden triangle trade route. The idea was¡­ well, people can infer. Subsequently, he transferred the pirate troops trained on Pirate Island to the brothers guarding the Kingdom to establish the Chamber of Commerce, strengthening studio¡¯s naval forces for future grand plans. Now, the Elf Kingdom¡¯s plea for reinforcements presented Blood Sea Wave with an excellent opportunity to redeem himself as a God-level Hero¨Ctime to wash away the disgrace and step into the light!

Chapter 144 - Chapter 144 Chapter 139 The Wind Has Died Down Time for Fog Chapter 144: Chapter 139: The Wind Has Died Down, Time for Fog! Chapter 144: Chapter 139: The Wind Has Died Down, Time for Fog! Da Fei¡¯s pursuit of the fleeing enemy was not going well. Giant paddle ships are just that, giant paddle ships; as long as the enemy is determined to flee in a straight line, catching up is no easy feat. Of course, the key problem is that even if you catch up, there¡¯s nowhere to strike. Unlike modern warships with cannons at the bow, sailboats must turn to the side to attack, and turning definitely slows you down, allowing the enemy to get away again. So after half a day chasing, it was the Druid¡¯s lightning bolt that finally capsized one. It seemed obvious the enemy was resorting to trickery. Da Fei wasn¡¯t keen on continuing the chase, but Mrs. Anwen remained smiling silently, Miss Catherine was in high spirits, and Selvia¡¯s mana was steadily recovering, so they decided to keep up the pursuit, ready to see it through. Worst case, if they can¡¯t win, they can still run, brother can flee just as they can¡¯t catch up. The messages on the World Channel also gave Da Fei a bit of reassurance; he wasn¡¯t fighting alone. ¡ª-System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! 20 enemy camp warships spotted ahead, please stay alert! Oh, here they come! Da Fei¡¯s spirit surged instantly, 20 warships¨Cif each one carried up to 30 Abyss Lords, just make sure no more than 10 warships focus their fire at once! Da Fei immediately looked up and shouted to Catherine, ¡°Baby, make sure we don¡¯t get surrounded!¡± Catherine laughed heartily, ¡°No problem!¡± ¡­.. At this time, at the U.S., Japan, and India Command Center. Compared to the roaring flames of the major battlefield, this local battle attracted even more attention from all countries. Everyone knew what would it mean for the battlefield situation if such a Super Hero joined the battle? In any case, he must be intercepted! What if this Super Hero¡¯s goal really is to join forces with the main troops? Perhaps that would be even better. At that time, the Hellish Alliance Army would dispatch even more warships at all costs to encircle and ram him to sink. The second wave of 20 reinforcement warships had already arrived, and the 9 fleeing warships from before began to turn around. Nearly thirty warships lined up in a row as far as the eye could see, their scale was truly enormous! Once the net is formed in pocket shape, the prey would have a hard time escaping. Moreover, there is the third wave of reinforcements. They changed their course, bypassing Dafei¡¯s field of vision and began encircling from the flank to block the retreat. This Super Player named Dafei had a very high level in Reconnaissance Skill, which was no secret to professional players anymore. In short, the alliance had done everything they possibly could. No more fleets could be drawn from the main forces in the center of the battlefield, or else the isolated units would be overrun and shot down by the agile Chinese players. On the open waters, the giant paddle ships would definitely be played to death by the nimble Green Leaf Boats. Would this work out or not? Howell had no idea, and at this moment, he found himself thinking of God. ¡­.. Facing the oncoming fleet of giant paddle assault ships, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but nervously swallow his saliva. Although the Flying had much better turning capabilities, if things went wrong the consequences would be dire. No time to think further, clear the field first! Just at that moment, the Flying¡¯s speed suddenly slowed down, and Da Fei was shocked, ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Catherine exclaimed, ¡°Oh my God! Why has the wind suddenly dropped?¡± Anwen chuckled, ¡°The Spider Demon army has successfully taken over various Flower Demon barracks and then blocked the World Tree passages with their spider webs, hence obstructing the Ancient Wind.¡± Damn it! How can you still laugh! Da Fei urgently asked Anwen, ¡°Lady? Can we now head for the Abyss Blood Pool?¡± Anwen indeed shook her head with a smile, ¡°How can we stop halfway when class is in session?¡± Da Fei asked incredulously, ¡°Class?¡± Anwen smiled, ¡°Indeed, and the Captain must also attend!¡± Then she looked up towards the helm and smiled, ¡°Miss Catherine, the mock battle exercise begins!¡± Catherine exclaimed with surprise, ¡°Alrighty!¡± Da Fei suddenly realized and asked in alarm, ¡°Are we combining the Mysterious Stealth Navigation now? What if it fails?¡± Anwen laughed, ¡°Even if it fails, it will just be a big fog. We can still emerge victorious in the fog, and now that the wind has died down, it¡¯s the perfect opportunity to create mist!¡± A big fog? The Master-level Arcane¡¯s Mist Summoning Technique? Da Fei suddenly understood! This old lady is incredible! She has everything well-organized regardless of success or failure! Honestly, with her in command, how could I possibly lose, right? Truly deserving of being a mentor aboard! Oh, what facial expression should I use to express my emotions? Da Fei respectfully bowed to Anwen, ¡°Having Lady Anwen guide us aboard is truly the honor of my lifetime!¡± Anwen laughed heartily, ¡°Oh Captain, you flatter me. This is just a bad habit from my years of teaching. I often get criticized for being too eager to instruct others.¡± Da Fei quickly shook his head, ¡°Lady Anwen is being too modest. I am sincerely expressing my respect!¡± Anwen smiled even more joyfully, ¡°Okay, okay, no need for such formalities, Captain. First, we¡¯ll turn to hide behind a tree root, then wait for those little guys to come over and we¡¯ll play hide and seek with them!¡± Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°Great! Hide and seek!¡± I¡¯ll hide so well you¡¯ll all be dead! Wahahaha! ¡­ The sudden deceleration of the Flying and the weakening of the underground wind immediately caught the attention of the Three Countries Command Center. Watching the panicked turning of the ship, cheers erupted! Howell, serving as Captain America, had been on edge for so long, and his nerves finally relaxed as he jumped up and let out an excited roar! The entire Hell Bar¡¯s team members got up, opened their bottles to celebrate early! Howell laughed hysterically, ¡°A sailboat without wind is like a bird without wings; this is Providence for America! Only America is the strongest, in the past, in the present, and in the future!¡± ¡°Sir! The Japanese and Indian delegations are sending their congratulations and asking for permission to engage!¡± Howell, cackling with laughter, waved his hand grandly, ¡°Full speed assault!¡± Now, under the half-sail push of the Magic Energy Wind Sail, the Flying hid among the tree roots, waiting silently for the hunter to take the bait! When you all gather, I¡¯ll let you know that hunters can also become the prey at any time, Wahahaha! ¡ª System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! 15 enemy warships have been detected to your southwest. Please be on guard! Ah pfft! Da Fei laughed out loud! So there was an ambush! These guys really know their military tactics! Come on then, I will take a few extra steps to wait for you all to come, ¡°Van Tho Susaid Fo Lei Saigo,¡± ¡°Come Busy Baby Good Oil!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only At this moment, the combined fleets of America, Japan, and India, consisting of 44 warships with giant paddles, furiously converged toward the giant sailboat in panicked flight! The giant paddles splashed water, casting sprays like shooting stars across the water¡¯s surface. The Hell Bar once again played hysterical rock music, the Indian headquarters started clapping in celebration, and the Japanese headquarters had already turned their attention to the more intense central battlefield! Yet it seemed that no one had noticed that the water splashed up by the giant paddles was slowly turning into a faint wisp of mist, and the shape of the fleeing sailboat was becoming more and more blurred after it darted into the tree root forest. The mist rose unknowingly among the crowd! (Please vote for all kinds of tickets!) (To be continued.

Chapter 145 - Chapter 145 Chapter 140 Slaughter in the Fog Chapter 145: Chapter 140: Slaughter in the Fog Chapter 145: Chapter 140: Slaughter in the Fog The blurred shape of the sailboat did not catch the attention of the excited international competitors, given that the underworld is naturally dimly lit. As the confidently determined Multi-National Pursuit Fleet drew ever closer to their target, they suddenly realized their surroundings were becoming darker and darker. When they abruptly became aware that they were shrouded in fog, the entire world was plunged into darkness! The sudden change shocked all the command centers of the various countries! Captain America swallowed a mouthful of beer through his nose, the applause from the Indians abruptly stopped, and the Japanese were stunned! Naturally, all the professional players knew that this was definitely not a natural phenomenon in the game! It was that Chinese person¡¯s skill! Just how much support had he gotten from the NPCs? ¨CBoom! Papapapapa! The sound of crossbow cannons firing rang out in the darkness! ¨CTeam Channel: The Indian player Lasijam was attacked by the enemy camp player Da Fei! Player Lasijam was killed! Player Lasijam¡¯s troops were defeated! The command centers of the three nations erupted in shock! This disadvantage left the Multi-National Forces at a loss for what to do. ¡°Sir! What should we do?¡± If this were a real battlefield, a commander would have to be responsible for the precious lives of soldiers. Of course, according to US military regulations, soldiers could disobey impractical orders and then dispute with their officers in military court. But in the game, Howell didn¡¯t have such bothersome concerns. If failure seemed inevitable, then let it be a spectacular and vigorous failure! Given the opponent was as powerful as an alien, Captain America had no mental burden left. Howell issued the final order, ¡°Find him! Attack him! Destroy him!¡± ¡°Yes, Sir!!!¡± In the fog, the warships of various countries charged around like headless flies. The Abyss Lord¡¯s fireballs whistled past, glowing red in the darkness. Yet, the fireball¡¯s effect only transformed the black fog into red fog, proving ineffective. ¡°Found it! Coordinates (2427, 112)!¡± Came a team member¡¯s excited and fervent shout in the darkness! ¡°We¡¯re all at (2427, 112)! Can we stop reporting coordinates?¡± ¡°Shit! Don¡¯t come over, it¡¯s a fake! It¡¯s Illusion Army magic!¡± Another round of crossbow cannons boomed in the darkness! ¨CTeam Channel: The Japanese player Kazaki Kyou was attacked by the enemy camp player Da Fei! Player Kazaki Kyou was killed! Player Kazaki Kyou¡¯s troops were defeated! ¨CTeam Channel: The Indian player Sanjani was attacked by the enemy camp player Da Fei! Player Sanjani was killed! Player Sanjani¡¯s troops were defeated! Two units were wiped out simultaneously! The command centers of the various countries were once again shocked! Everyone deeply realized that the Hell Factory¡¯s fast production of these stone-age paddle boats and multitudinous cannon ports seemingly equipped with magic-powered devices were not from the same era compared to the gigantic sailboats! Especially for Americans accustomed to crushing opponents with technology several eras ahead, such disparity in equipment was virtually intolerable! Was this what a certain Chinese leader meant by ¡°lagging behind means being beaten¡±? This feeling was absolutely terrible. ¨CBoom! Following was another thunderous roar shaking the underworld! ¨CTeam Channel: The US player Jerry was attacked by the enemy camp player Da Fei! Player Jerry was killed! Player Jerry¡¯s troops were defeated! In a mere instant, three units were defeated! After undergoing a series of shocking, exciting, and powerlessly exclaiming experiences, the expressions in the command centers of various nations turned wooden. Facing aliens who possessed future technology within a game, what could Earthlings possibly do? This was a game, not Hollywood, and even Americans were not rivals for the Future Soldier. Indeed! At this time, Da Fei was playing the role of a Future Soldier, with the Flying¡¯s thirty-two cannon ports firing on all sides, launching a crazy bombardment! With forty-four warships charging around haphazardly, Da Fei had no reason to hold back, blasting everything in his path! Who could withstand the barrage of sixteen crossbow cannons on one side of the Flying, in addition to Da Fei¡¯s triple crossbow salvo? Since obtaining the Flying, it was Da Fei¡¯s most enjoyable and satisfying battle yet! Although the world appeared utterly dark to the Multi-National Joint Army, in Da Fei¡¯s eyes, it was naturally equally dark. But there were plenty of red dots on the small map radar! Exactly, the legendary map cannon! The world in the eyes of a God-level player was certainly different from that in the eyes of mortal players. Hahaha! Wahahahaha! As for the simulated Mysterious Stealth Navigation skill? Needless to say, it naturally failed! How could a God-level skill be so easily imitated? But it did not matter, simulating failure, the fog still remained! In fact, the fog would always remain! Additionally, the ridiculous Illusion Army was also always present because even the Old Lady played with delight! Awesome! It had always been so awesome! Wahahahaha! (The Illusion Army: Uses a spell to project the image of an army, the image can move and perform attack actions but deals no damage, and disappears once attacked. At the same time, the image has the Nihility Body trait to evade attacks.) The slaughter continued, the screen refresh continued, was this a one-sided crushing? No! American player SawSaw aimed to uphold the dignity of the American Team! Indeed, SawSaw, that Great Demon, that warrior who might only appear in the future became the only hope to save the American Team! Of course, he was also the only hope of turning the tide in this action, with all team members exerting their utmost effort to find the target, creating an opportunity for SawSaw to teleport and launch a beheading operation against the hero. An Abyss Lord¡¯s randomly shot fireball exploded with a loud bang, and amid the flames, a giant sailboat¡¯s outline appeared in sight! A dozen crossbow arrows shot out forcefully from one of its cannon ports! ¡°There it is!¡± The entire Hell Bar shouted in unison! In that instant, having long prepared, SawSaw flashed and appeared on the sailboat¡¯s deck¨Cthen the ground under his feet disappeared, and he began to fall, what? ¡°ShitFcuk¨C¡± Amid SawSaw¡¯s furious cursing, with a splash, the Great Demon fell into the Pool of Radiance, then let out a scream, as if doused in acid, exploding into intense white smoke and transforming into a white light, gone. It turned out the ship was an illusion from the Illusion Army! At that moment, the entire Hell Bar went silent, then¨Csomeone led with a puff of laughter, and then the entire bar erupted in roaring laughter. SawSaw looked toward everyone, face pale and bewildered, Howell also coughed dryly and patted his shoulder, ¡°OK! That¡¯s that, you did well!¡± SawSaw jumped violently, ¡°My failure is America¡¯s failure, America¡¯s failure is the failure of justice! Shit!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Everyone laughed hilariously. Howell opened a bottle and shouted, ¡°Come on, to the failure of justice, let¡¯s drink!¡± ¡°Wahahaha, cheers!¡± In contrast to Captain America¡¯s bland demeanor, the Indian Command Center and Japanese Command Center were solemnly silent, with no one speaking, their only option to listen to the thundering of crossbow cannons in the darkness, waiting quietly for the end of the battle.

Chapter 146 - Chapter 146 Chapter 141 Assault on the Abyss Blood Pool Chapter 146: Chapter 141: Assault on the Abyss Blood Pool Chapter 146: Chapter 141: Assault on the Abyss Blood Pool The massacre in the fog was without suspense. Da Fei laughed wildly to the end. When the last red dot on the mini-map disappeared, a long list of system prompts finally came as an end-of-year summary. ¨CSystem Prompt: A glorious victory! You defeated the legion composed of 44 players from the enemy camp, gaining Experience +234,691, Gold Coin +22,016, Reputation +12,760. You obtained C-level strategic treasure: Telescope x43. You captured Demon Servant Shipworkers x232 and Abyss Lord x37. ¨CSystem Prompt: You achieved the victory of ¡°The 7th Battle,¡± receiving an additional Command Power +10 as a reward. You achieved the victory of ¡°The 1st Glorious Battle,¡± receiving an additional Command Power +20 and a Hero Life +20 reward. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Heroine, Katelina, obtained information about Master-level Navigation Skill. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Heroine, Katelina, obtained information about Master-level Pirate. Wa hahaha! Katrina indeed obtained the Grandmaster information, and it was a double whammy! Pirates and navigation skills really complement each other, after all, pirates have potential, huh? Moreover, there was even the achievement of a glorious battle victory? How is this achievement determined? In any case, it must be a major victory in a large battle, wa hahaha! Anwen laughed heartily: ¡°Miss Katrina seems to have learned a lot. In any case, if she simulates a few more courses or fights a few more large battles, she will probably grasp it.¡± Just like that! Fighting large battles while conducting God-level research, this is the way to comprehend Grandmaster Navigation Skill! Da Fei excitedly saluted again: ¡°Lady Anwen, you truly earn my admiration!¡± Anwen laughed heartily: ¡°It¡¯s your own outstanding conditions, otherwise, even if I wanted to teach you, you wouldn¡¯t learn it!¡± Of course! Da Fei said pleasantly, ¡°You¡¯re too kind, madam!¡± Anwen waved her hand with a faint smile, the fog cleared, revealing giant paddle ships floating in ruin on the sea, prisoners scattered sparsely on each surrendering ship. The largest gain from this battle was these 37 Abyss Lords. Although it fell short of the goal to capture over 70, leaving so many survivors amidst the chaotic shooting was quite an accomplishment. Da Fei waved towards the bridge: ¡°Honey, tow it away!¡± In high spirits, Katrina laughed heartily: ¡°No problem!¡± These prisoners were lucky to be carried by ships at sea. If they were on land, unless you¡¯d learned Advanced Logistics to buy marching caravans, you¡¯d be stuck staring blankly at them, unable to move, eventually becoming wild creatures. At sea, you can certainly tow them. This towing speed is extremely slow, so there is an important skill to improve speed, Towing! ¨CTowing: A sub-skill of Advanced Sailing Skill, allowing players¡¯ large ships to rapidly tow seriously damaged, unmanned ships. Keywords: rapid towing! Towing is a very important sub-skill in navigation. For pirates, this skill is essential, no explanation needed. For merchant fleets and navies, this skill is equally critical; if any ship has an accident, teammates can lend a hand, so some originally doomed ships will be preserved. More importantly, Towing is a prerequisite skill for the Grandmaster-level Navigation Skill sub-skill ¡°Piloting.¡± ¨CPiloting: The speed of the flagship determines the fleet speed, and captains or first officers of subordinate fleets must learn Master-level Navigation Skill and Towing to accept the flagship¡¯s piloting. This is the Piloting, the divine skill for Chambers of Commerce! Different ship models naturally have different speeds. Fast-running ships have small cargo capacities, while high-capacity ships often move slowly. With the Piloting skill, fast ships can act as flagships, towing slower cargo ships, ensuring they don¡¯t lag behind. Scientifically, this likely involves the V formation principle in fluid mechanics, where the lift produced by the leading bird¡¯s wing flaps saves a lot of Stamina for the following birds. We often see news of United States Navy aircraft carrier fleets moving along a straight line, which is more or less the same concept. Those interested in the V formation principle can consult with their physical education teacher. During the public test, the maritime world had a famous term ¡°Locomotive¡±! Locomotive refers to players who have learned the Piloting divine skill. They are highly sought-after talents recruited by various Chambers of Commerce, and their game account valuations rival any so-called God-level Hero today. Correspondingly, the large, slow-moving cargo ship is the train car. Now, with Katrina poised to break through to the Grandmaster in navigation skills and my unmatched fast ship, what does this imply? It implies a bright tomorrow awaits me, with beautiful Angels calling from afar! Wa hahaha! I will not be employed as any locomotive; I¡¯ll start my own Chamber of Commerce and lead my own fleet! I¡¯ve promised to live in the most luxurious sea Royal Palace with my baby, and I will see it through! However, speaking of this ship, Da Fei asked: ¡°Lady Anwen, what should be our next move?¡± Anwen shook her head with a smile and said: ¡°There¡¯s not much wind underground now. The Captain can hardly make any progress here. We must go to the Abyss Blood Pool. In any case, let¡¯s take this time to rest the troops.¡± Finally time to hit the road! Da Fei nodded: ¡°Alright, madam, you¡¯ve just worked hard too, take a break.¡± Anwen laughed and said: ¡°That¡¯s necessary warm-up, Captain, you should be busy cleaning up the battlefield.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± The Flying began collecting prisoners around the field, consolidating remaining troops and supplies onto several ships for centralized towing, as busy yet orderly as ever. Katrina, with her pirate background, is undoubtedly adept at such tasks. However, this clean-up of such a huge battlefield must have been a task never undertaken by her dad. Meanwhile, other troops took the time to sleep and recover Mana while Da Fei vigilantly surveyed the surroundings. The world channel was buzzing with encouragement and cheers from tycoons, and the current area channel was abuzz, with screens filled with applause whenever a player shattered a foreign warship. In such a fervent atmosphere, all players forgot their pre-battle thoughts of conserving forces, fully immersing themselves. This is the charm of national warfare; once the atmosphere is cultivated, no player can resist full-heartedly engaging. Looking at the screen filled with cheers worldwide, how could Da Fei not feel restless and pumped up? Meow, after overturning 44 ships and no countrymen knowing, no one applauded for me! But foreigners knew! Standing on the battlefield with the momentum of this great victory, wouldn¡¯t it frighten all foreigners into taking the plunge and committing suicide? Hell, what¡¯s the point of joining the battle now? There¡¯s no wind; what else can be done? Not to mention, whether foreigners, seeing red, would launch large-scale attacks intending to annihilate me, this mission person, or whether enemies would take the opportunity to stab me in the back. Better listen to the old lady and prepare to hit the road. Their names were unknown, but their achievements would be immortalized ¡ª oh, the legendary tragic life! When the Flying finished the battlefield cleanup, the enemy never appeared. Such is fright, right? It¡¯s fine. Now, the Flying towed full two ships of troops and supplies to the Flower Demon barracks, which hosted Abyss Lords. It seems the Spider Demon reinforcements reclaimed most of the barracks. How long can my troops hold this barrack? In any case, depending on these 53 Abyss Lords to hold it. I guess it can¡¯t be held for long. Alas, in the end, I didn¡¯t even get the bargain of a level 6 unit. In any case, consider it a practice session for Katrina. She¡¯s my future locomotive, wa hahaha! After arranging the Abyss Lords, the Flying reached the pre-planned teleport location on the expedition map; the troops¡¯ Mana had also almost recovered. Anwen presided over the center of the Teleportation Array on the deck, her expression solemn as she began to cast spells, with white light bursting from the Array! Then, the entire ship subtly turned white. Anwen said in a deep voice: ¡°Captain, are you ready? We¡¯ll implement sequential teleportation according to the pre-battle plan! The distance to the Abyss Blood Pool is infinitely far geographically, even unreachable, but spatially, it¡¯s very near, you could say just a wall away.¡± Da Fei took a deep breath and nodded: ¡°Ready!¡± Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something: ¡°Will the Flower Demons follow me on the expedition?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Anwen paused and then laughed: ¡°The Captain¡¯s warship is now their only home; what else can they do but go on the expedition with you?¡± Indeed, this mission mode has altered the Flower Demons¡¯ attribute, allowing them to join the expedition! Good! With such a powerful magical meat shield, I feel confident! Anwen shouted: ¡°Depart!¡± The entire Flying turned into a white light and disappeared.

Chapter 147 - Chapter 147 Chapter 142 Comprehending the Divine Skill of Chapter 147: Chapter 142: Comprehending the Divine Skill of Mysterious Stealth Navigation Chapter 147: Chapter 142: Comprehending the Divine Skill of Mysterious Stealth Navigation The Flying turned into a white light, Da Fei¡¯s view changed, and with a thunderous sound, Flying fell into a pitch-black underground lake. After the ship stabilized, another white flash brought yet another scene change, a gurgling underground river. It had to be said, the Elf Clan¡¯s spatial technology was quite lacking, requiring a mid-journey transfer. The scene changed once more, a red light filled the view, with a blood-colored sky and blood-colored lakes flashing by, followed by a thunderous crash as Flying fell into a blood lake, stirring up blood waves. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have discovered the Blood Sea Demon Swamp. ¡°We¡¯ve arrived! Activate the skill immediately!¡± Anwen waved her hand before the ship steadied, and the splattered blood waves instantly turned into a blood mist. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has released the Master-level ¡°Mist Summoning Technique¡± magic! Blood Sea Demon Swamp? No time to think about it, quickly combine skills, I¡¯ll form the head! Da Fei immediately activated Phantom March. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have obtained the skill information of ¡°Mysterious Stealth Navigation.¡± Although the attempt at replicating a divine skill failed again, it didn¡¯t prevent Flying¡¯s blurry figure from being hidden within a large blood mist. In a situation where the target¡¯s condition was completely unknown, appearing and hiding seemed to be the safest strategy. The saying ¡°old ginger is hotter¡± truly held strong. Anwen quickly stated, ¡°This is not actually the Abyss Blood Pool. We do not have the ability to directly break through the Demon God Barrier of the Abyss Blood Pool to teleport in. If the intel we received is correct, this location should be the entrance and exit of the Abyss Blood Pool. We need to find the entrance to break in, and it¡¯s said the blood here flows out from the Abyss Blood Pool, so following the flow should lead us there.¡± Da Fei was shocked. A mid-journey transfer was already surprising, not to mention the destination wasn¡¯t reached in one go! How difficult was this mission? Amidst this thick blood mist, how could he observe the water flow? A knockoff was truly a knockoff, but fortunately, Da Fei had the Blood Eagle Flute. At that moment, the system warning flashed red! ¨CSystem Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! Seven unknown strong creatures are approaching, please be on guard! Da Fei urgently checked the mini-map, on which seven giant red dots were slowly moving in from all directions. Damn! BOSS? Did the red mist here ironically make me more conspicuous? Anwen immediately ordered, ¡°Prepare for battle! Follow the tactics from the rehearsal earlier! The Demon Race must have set up tight defenses here. Without knowing the enemy¡¯s attributes and the surrounding terrain, our ship should stay still to avoid giving away our position through the water flow caused by movement!¡± With a wave of her hand, several giant illusions of Flying appeared in the blood mist. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has released the Master-level ¡°Illusion Army¡± magic! Da Fei nodded nervously and quickly arranged the Flower Demon Druid Hunter formation. Indeed, that was just a rehearsal; now it was for real. Although he didn¡¯t know what BOSS was coming, at least one thing was certain: in the game world, few entities could withstand a barrage from a dozen crossbow cannons of a battleship. Normally, such large-scale warfare machines appeared in the later stages of the game, and only Arrow Towers or warships could counter them. From the situation of the seven huge red dots slowly closing in, the enemy must also be very cautious of this conspicuous red mist, right? That indicated the enemy wasn¡¯t too strong; true powerhouses would recklessly charge in without fear, wouldn¡¯t they? Thus, Da Fei was fully confident to annihilate the approaching enemy. Da Fei quickly took out the Blood Eagle Flute to survey the surroundings. The long-missed Spiritual Eagle soared out of the dense fog, and the widened view revealed the vastness of Blood Sea Demon Swamp, filled with innumerable islands growing giant mushrooms, grand flowers, and grotesque trees, with bizarre bug-like beasts roaming around, their howls and cries echoing between sea and sky. Near the area shrouded by thick fog around Flying, seven massive water monsters resembling serpentine dragons were charging forward, and these serpentine dragons seemed to be everywhere in the distant Blood Sea! This must be the Demon World. Realizing he was alone with a single ship, deeply navigating the Demon World, Da Fei suddenly felt a profound, solitary forlornness amidst the vast universe. This single-player mode was taking it way too far. Now, the seven huge water monsters had reached the edge of the fog; Da Fei¡¯s crossbow cannons were ready and on full alert. At that moment, the water monsters splashed into the water, and the big red dots on the map faded dramatically. Da Fei was suddenly shocked, ¡°Going underwater?¡± Though the warship¡¯s firepower was fierce, its weakness was also evident, which was a lack of anti-submarine capability! Anwen said sternly, ¡°We can only hope the illusions will lure the enemy to take the bait!¡± Da Fei could only aim the crossbow cannons on both sides of the ship towards the two illusion warships. It had to be said, the old lady¡¯s skills were quite impressive; her Illusion Army could even replicate objects as large as warships. Grandmaster was a Grandmaster, after all. As expected, a big red dot lunged towards an illusion warship. With a massive splash, the illusion disappeared, and the vague silhouette of a water monster appeared within the red mist! The good thing was, there was no way to miss this! ¨CBoom! Rumble! Sixteen cannon ports roared in unison, two volleys of crossbow arrows whistled out! A miserable wail echoed across the lake from within the blood mist! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have attacked the Magic Swamp Watcher! You have alarmed the stationed troops of the Demon Race. Alarmed the troops? The water monsters were troops? Indeed, after the water monster let out that roar, the other water monsters also bellowed like thunder, causing a black swarm of insects and birds to take flight from the surrounding islands. The scale of it was indeed earth-shattering! Was this an alarm system? ¨CBoom! Rumble! Yet another round of crossbow fire, and the wailing water monster was blown to smithereens. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have slain the Magic Swamp Watcher, gaining Experience +76,000! Fame +760, and you have obtained incomplete information on the Magic Swamp Watcher. Damn, it could withstand two volleys from my crossbow cannons! The strength of this water monster truly lived up to its experience value! What a formidable creature! With the water monsters¡¯ alarms, the nearby water monsters began converging here. Meanwhile, a squad of giant beasts flew in from the distant sky! Magic Swamp Demon Dragon Guardian? Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! Even though he hadn¡¯t heard of them, anything related to dragons was never weak. The key was the enemy was airborne; no matter how many crossbow cannons he had, they were useless! Flower Demons? Well, they could block magic, but fighting dragons in melee would result in a horrible death! This was entirely different from the rehearsal earlier, wasn¡¯t it? Da Fei was naturally panicked, ¡°Ladies, the enemy has sent in the Demon Dragon Air Force. What do we do?¡± Anwen frowned and quickly replied, ¡°The direction the Air Force is coming from must be the Demon Army¡¯s stronghold. There must be a guarded entrance there. Immediately scout the coordinates, and we will forcibly teleport there!¡± Indeed, having an elder at home was like having a treasure! Da Fei nodded vigorously and hurriedly commanded the Spiritual Eagle towards the direction the Demon Dragons came from. As the Spiritual Eagle brushed past the Demon Dragons, Da Fei drew in a sharp breath! The size was clearly that of a bomber! With rough, bumpy skin exuding green smoke in a fierce overbearing style, if it wasn¡¯t an eighth-level soldier, it was a BOSS for sure! Letting them close in, they¡¯d just plop down and sink his ship with their butts! Just when he was in shock, a fortress on a lake came into view, and that was it! Da Fei hurriedly shouted, ¡°Ladies, we¡¯ve discovered the Demon Race¡¯s fortress, the Giant Dragon Formation is closing in!¡± Anwen said in a low voice, ¡°The enemy will undoubtedly reach before us. This moment marks the critical point of life and death!¡± Then she glanced up at the control room, ¡°Miss Catherine, try once again. This time, we must achieve something! Begin emerging from the dense fog.¡± Catherine responded firmly, ¡°Understood, Lady Anwen!¡± Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped. This mission wasn¡¯t just challenging; it hadn¡¯t even reached the Abyss Blood Pool¡¯s gate yet, and it was already at a critical life-or-death moment? This task was simply designed to trap him to death! Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Ladies, can we do it?¡± Anwen chuckled, ¡°Today, I can use Magical Coordination once. This time, the coordinated troops won¡¯t be Flower Demons but Forest Goddesses.¡± Da Fei was stunned, ¡°Forest Goddesses? What can they do?¡± Anwen smiled, ¡°They can form a Basic Illusion Army! With over fifty Forest Goddesses assisting in spell casting, surely we can make a breakthrough.¡± (Note: ¨CForest Goddesses: Small spiritual creatures, Attack 9, Defense 7, Damage 6-9, Life 35, Attack Speed 11, Mana 30, Command Value 0, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Ranged Shot, Advanced Healing Skill, Advanced Purification Skill, Basic Illusion Army.) Da Fei suddenly understood, ¡°Ah, the seemingly unremarkable special skill of the Forest Goddesses had such an extraordinary use! Although I don¡¯t know exactly how to combine them, if the NPC says it can be done, it can be done. It means even though the mission seems daunting, there are clues for breakthrough! Ultimately, difficult missions don¡¯t mean they¡¯re unsolvable. If my God-level skills couldn¡¯t handle it, other players shouldn¡¯t even think about it,¡± Da Fei¡¯s confidence soared as he steadily continued commanding the Spiritual Eagle toward the fortress. Getting closer, the fortress was actually surrounded by an enormous dam at the lake¡¯s center, where blood waves rolled in and out, with a massive flow of blood water erupting from it. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have discovered the effluent of the Abyss Blood Pool. What? Effluent? Could it be this wasn¡¯t even the main entrance? Indeed, what kind of reliable pathway could mysterious information offer! Anyway, entering was all that mattered, and once he had the effluent¡¯s coordinates, he could directly teleport there with the whole ship. At this point, on the radar, the Giant Dragon Formation, a large group of red dots, was closing in on Flying¡¯s mist! They indeed reached first! Da Fei¡¯s heart was in his throat! Anwen shouted, ¡°Combine!¡± ¨CPhantom March! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has released the Master-level ¡°Illusion Army¡± magic! In that instant, all the Forest Goddesses aboard flashed with demon light and cast spells on the ship, simultaneously boosting Flying¡¯s speed with a flash of magic sails, propelling it out of the fog! As the ship exited the fog, Da Fei suddenly realized the entire ship had turned transparent! Simultaneously, a celestial-like system prompt sounded! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You have comprehended the ¡°Mysterious Stealth Navigation¡± skill! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your vice heroine, Katelina, has comprehended the ¡°Mysterious Stealth Navigation¡± skill! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your subordinate hero Anwen has comprehended the ¡°Mysterious Stealth Navigation¡± skill! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your vice heroine, Katelina, has comprehended the Master-level Navigation Skill! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your vice heroine, Katelina, has obtained information on the Master-level Pirate! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has obtained information on God-level Arcane Magic! Witnessing the screen filled with a series of system prompts, Da Fei¡¯s breath stopped! (Today¡­busy¡­) (To be continued.

Chapter 148 - Chapter 148 Chapter 143 Abyss Blood Pool Storm Baptism Chapter 148: Chapter 143 Abyss Blood Pool Storm Baptism Chapter 148: Chapter 143 Abyss Blood Pool Storm Baptism The giant roar in the sky startled Da Fei awake. He looked up to see the group of demon dragons spewing a dozen streams of green slime into the blood fog, causing a loud explosion and instantly turning the blood fog into green mist! Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped to the ground! Such a vast blood fog and it couldn¡¯t cover it up! Thankfully he managed to get out in time, or else he would have been finished! Da Fei quickly switched to the Spiritual Eagle¡¯s perspective. At this moment, the Spiritual Eagle had also flown to the middle of the rolling lake enclosed by the dam, where a dozen demon dragons were stationed around the high platform of the dam. This was simply not something that could be countered with force; the only option was a direct teleportation! Da Fei decisively reported the coordinates, ¡°Entrance coordinates (4391.531,3441.641,0)!¡± Anwen shouted, ¡°Rise!!!¡± With a flash of white light, the entire Flying exploded in dazzling white light once again! ¨CSystem Prompt: Mysterious Stealth Navigation skill has failed! Revealed! At that moment, another massive roar echoed from the sky as several dozen streams of green slime as thick as water barrels cascaded down towards him, making Da Fei¡¯s heart leap into his throat! Just at this critical moment, there was a flash of light, the scene shifted, and oh yeah! Crash! With a loud bang, the Flying once again smashed heavily onto the water¡¯s surface, sending up towering waves. The surrounding dam¡¯s scenery flashed by, the scene went black, and again shifted! One step directly to the destination, teleportation successful! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have discovered the Abyss Blood Pool. They had arrived! Da Fei was overjoyed as he looked around! A colossal blood moon painted the sky red, and a thick sea of blood emitted rolling blood mist. This was the destination of their journey, the Abyss Blood Pool! That was close, too close! Brilliant, he was truly brilliant! Wahahahaha! Anwen was equally excited and laughed heartily. Da Fei, who had been holding back so many questions, finally asked, ¡°Lady Anwen, how did you manage to successfully combine the skills?¡± It seemed as if Anwen was waiting for Da Fei to ask, and she smiled proudly, ¡°The implementation of Mysterious Stealth Navigation, theoretically speaking, seems to require God-level Reconnaissance Technique, God-level Arcane, God-level Navigation Skill, and the ship¡¯s own special skills. But the characteristic of pirates has always been exaggeration. Whether these stringent conditions are actually necessary is still up for debate. As of current conditions, we have three unmet requirements, but even if we can¡¯t meet the combination¡¯s strict demands, just getting infinitely close can produce infinitely nearing effects.¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly. Anwen laughed, ¡°During this operation, I borrowed the power of the Forest Goddess, and Miss Catherine also gave her all and performed exceptionally, but that still wasn¡¯t enough. According to the chain theory, the weakest link determines the chain¡¯s strength, and our weakest link is the ship. To disguise such a large ship isn¡¯t easy, so we had to employ a small trick of deception, and Mist Technique is the vital means of deception.¡± Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Deception? Magic?¡± Anwen shook her head with a laugh, ¡°No! It¡¯s the usual trick of circus juggling magicians. They use exaggerated movements to focus the audience¡¯s attention, causing people to ignore their subtle actions, and often these small actions are the key to successful juggling! Even the greatest mage, if misled by their performance, can be caught off guard by the deception, for deception is not a spell. Mist is my tool of deception. When the opponent is fully focused on searching for targets from the mist, they subconsciously ignore the events on the mist¡¯s edge, and we seize this split-second gap!¡± Da Fei suddenly realized, ¡°So that¡¯s how the Mist Technique works!¡± Anwen smiled, ¡°Exactly, the Illusion Army is the skill necessary for the combination of Mysterious Stealth Navigation. Only the Illusion Army can transform the warship, but without the Mist Technique to create a visual overlayer effect, this transformation effect would be very abrupt and wouldn¡¯t be successful. That¡¯s why the legendary ghost ship is always shrouded in mist before it appears. In summary, great wisdom coupled with small tricks, achieving the Pirate King¡¯s prowess!¡± Da Fei praised continuously, ¡°I see, I see!¡± In the cabin, Catherine couldn¡¯t help but shout excitedly, ¡°Lady Anwen is phenomenal; I thought one really needed God-level skills to do it!¡± Anwen sighed, ¡°If they truly were all God-level, then nothing would be forbidden, and one could act with impunity. The power of such skills would be imaginable. I never expected to comprehend the Divine Skill at twilight and even touch the threshold of God-level Arcane. My life is fulfilled.¡± She then burst into joyful laughter. Da Fei was dumbfounded! Indeed, this old lady was temporarily added to the mission. When the mission was over, she¡¯d retire and might just pass away. Would his hard-earned Divine Skill lack part of its potential to teach on? Would this not be bothersome for him? Would he have to train Selvia to become a Grandmaster Arcanist? That¡¯s the only way. Sigh, the road ahead is long and arduous. Anwen chuckled, ¡°Alright then, we¡¯ve made it to the Abyss Blood Pool. Let¡¯s give it our all to find the Demon Race¡¯s mother nest, then destroy it!¡± Da Fei snapped back and nodded repeatedly, ¡°Oh, okay!¡± The Abyss Blood Pool was vast and endless, with the stench-laden wind wailing. Great, the wind issue was solved, so sail ahead, defeating anything that comes their way. He didn¡¯t believe that anyone in this confined space could oppose him. He was going to stomp the Demon Kindergarten, wahahahaha! Shergo Demon Palace, on the Demon King¡¯s Throne in the Lava Lake. The roar of the Demon King stirred colossal lava waves, ¡°Useless! A bunch of useless beings! To think you let the enemy¡¯s hero breach the Abyss Blood Pool! You deserve death!¡± A group of black robes trembled on their knees, ¡°Your Majesty, there is still one solution! We can initiate the Baptismal Ceremony of the Abyss Blood Pool early. This can both select strong infants to compensate for our war losses and use the storm¡¯s power to destroy the invading enemy ships!¡± The Demon King coldly snorted, ¡°Approved! Immediately prepare the Demon God¡¯s Prayer Ceremony with all effort! This must be the grandest, highest-standard baptism ever!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured!¡± The black robes quickly retreated. The baptism of the Abyss Blood Pool was a ritual unique to the Hell Blood Clan Demons. The Demon God would stir a blood sea storm filled with demonic power within the Abyss Blood Pool. All infants surviving the storm would 100% become the elite of the Demon Race, while most would perish under the storm¡¯s ravages. This ritual¡¯s pros and cons were evident, thus it was only performed every 100 years. But this time, due to the Super Hero¡¯s invasion, the Demons expedited the ceremony. At this moment, the wind at the Abyss Blood Pool grew stronger, dense red clouds gathered continuously, slowly obscuring the massive blood moon in the sky. The blood waves on the ocean surface rolled incessantly, something wasn¡¯t right with this! Catherine shouted in alarm, ¡°A storm is coming!¡± Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped to the ground! (To be continued.

Chapter 149 - Chapter 149 Chapter 144 Resetting Points to Become an Chapter 149: Chapter 144: Resetting Points to Become an Intermediate Navigator Chapter 149: Chapter 144: Resetting Points to Become an Intermediate Navigator Storm! Is this task tailor-made for me? Da Fei incredulously asked, ¡°Are you sure it¡¯s a storm?¡± Catherine sighed, ¡°I don¡¯t know what it¡¯s like in the Demon World, but this situation would definitely be a storm in the surface world!¡± Anwen sighed, ¡°It does seem like a storm. Captain, you better prepare for the storm quickly.¡± Da Fei suddenly turned wooden. Though my special skill is Storm Navigation, every time I encounter a storm, the ship¡¯s Durability limit drops by a thousand, and the Flying¡¯s Durability is less than a thousand now! Da Fei looked around; the Blood Sea was vast with surging waves, not a single island to take shelter! Da Fei exclaimed in horror, ¡°Can we make it through?¡± Catherine frowned, ¡°Our ship underwent major repairs before setting out, and we¡¯re fully staffed with sailors. As long as repairs are timely, the loss should not be as great as before.¡± Da Fei sighed in his heart and waved grandly, ¡°All hands prepare for the storm! All troops get into the cabin!¡± Katrina immediately shouted to the sailors, ¡°Lower the sails! Lower the sails! Store away the items on deck, and get all the spare tools and repair materials ready!¡± Watching the busy scene on the deck, Da Fei was internally conflicted. If I had just completed the task of the Pool of Radiance normally, and fixed the ship before attacking, I wouldn¡¯t fear the damn storm! Now all I can do is grit my teeth and withstand it! Right, I also have a notebook from Makar that upgrades to the Intermediate Navigator! Just level up one more, and my professional specialty, Storm Navigation, will be extra secure! ¡ª Navigator Promotion Experience Notes: Use this item, and you will spend a skill point to raise your profession level to ¡°Intermediate Navigator.¡± Apoo! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of old blood! I don¡¯t have any Skill Points left! Da Fei shivered as he crumpled the notes in a fit of despair. I thought I calculated my steps finely throughout the journey, but to be out of skill points at a crucial moment! Oh heavens, are you kidding me? Anwen sighed, ¡°Captain, what¡¯s troubling you?¡± Oh yeah! Magical old lady, you must have a way, right? You definitely have a way, right? Aren¡¯t you a retired mentor? Giving away dozens of skill points is a piece of cake for a mentor! Da Fei, with a face full of pleading tears, said: ¡°Madam, although I have prepared the Intermediate Navigator scroll for dealing with the storm, I don¡¯t have the skill points to learn it at this critical moment! Could you think of a solution?¡± See, if it weren¡¯t for you, how could I comprehend Divine Skills? Although I¡¯ve received a lot from you, as an elder, you should have the demeanor of an elder, right? As a thank you for comprehending a Divine Skill, giving away a Skill Book would be quite normal. Anwen chuckled, and Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched. There¡¯s hope! Old lady, you really are the Doraemon who can fulfill all my dreams! Anwen simply said, ¡°What¡¯s so difficult about that? Captain, just visit the online shop and buy a Skill Reset Potion.¡± Apoo! Da Fei spat out another mouthful of old blood! NPCs truly live up to being NPCs, speaking for the game company at critical moments! People always make mistakes, whether intentionally or unintentionally, brain fart or trembling hands, choosing the wrong skills is a common occurrence. Heroic Creation Era, being a world-class online game, whether for humanitarian care or user experience, traditional Skill Reset Potions are of course essential. Of course, there are heavy restrictions on purchasing Skill Reset Potions. Each account can only buy one bottle per real-world month, and each bottle costs only 1000 points, that is, 1000 RMB, with the potion being account-bound and non-tradable. This prevents tycoons from arbitrarily resetting skills. Indeed, the purpose of the Skill Reset Potion is to save players who made mistakes due to shaky hands. Although I¡¯m a professional gamer, I haven¡¯t earned a penny from gaming yet. I already spent a hundred yuan on three offline Divine Sanctuary items. Do I really need to spend another thousand on a Skill Reset now? I¡¯ve already spent a thousand on lotteries! If I spend another thousand, I won¡¯t even be able to afford instant noodles! Da Fei sighed, ¡°Let me think thrice!¡± Damn, think thrice my ass! I¡¯m about to become a wealthy man selling heritage to the Dragon Slayer. Though the price hasn¡¯t been discussed yet, I shouldn¡¯t care about this thousand! Bought it! Da Fei immediately logged into the shopping mall! ¨CDing-dong! A crisp sound from the mall mailbox, Da Fei tears streaming down his face! No matter how far apart, across mountains and seas, and countless planes, the game mall is the most intimate companion for players! Which skill should be reset? Of course, the sub-skill ¡°Disguise¡± under Reconnaissance Skill, initially chosen to sneak into the Monastery, but now it¡¯s no longer needed, and probably won¡¯t be in the future either. Using the potion, a flash of gold, System Prompt shows an additional Skill Point! Da Fei slapped the note in his hand that was crumpled into a ball, flash of gold! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have used 1 Skill Point on ¡°Navigational Insights Notebook,¡± and have successfully advanced to Intermediate Navigator. ¨CIntermediate Navigator: Speed of hero¡¯s ships on the sea is further increased by 20%, the effect stacks with Sailing Skill. Every 4 levels, the hero and the Vice Hero gain an additional free attribute point. The hero and the hero¡¯s Vice Heroes gain an additional 200 Experience points on the sea every day. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have gained 1 free attribute point from the Intermediate Navigator professional bonus. (Note: Da Fei at level 30, Junior Navigator at every 5 levels adds 1 attribute point for a total of 6 points; Intermediate should give 7 points, hence the compensation of 1 point now) Oh, yeah! Finally fulfilling a wish, I must say, I have never wasted money in my life. This thousand yuan was the most worthwhile spending ever. Now let me illustrate the relationship between the Captain and the First Officer here. The First Officer, also known as the Deputy Captain, has all the navigational functions of the Captain, and their Sailing Skills assist each other (keyword: Sailing Skill). Placing Catherine, with her Master-level Navigation Skill at 120% speed and Master-level Pirate skill at 25% speed, in the First Officer position, of course, the ship¡¯s speed primarily comes from Catherine¡¯s higher skills, covering Da Fei¡¯s weaker low-level navigation skill, increasing the ship speed to 145%. But Da Fei also has a Navigator¡¯s additional 20% ship speed, a skill the First Officer doesn¡¯t have, so the speed stacks up again, making it 165% increase. This speed is truly terrifying, and that¡¯s why those giant paddle ships, clueless about Sailing Skill at Pool of Radiance, are left spinning. Preparations on the Flying are quickly and orderly completed. The seamen responsible for emergency repairs on the deck even tied cables around their waists, while those inside the cabin carried materials and tools, securing safety cables at their stations. I must say, as a player, Da Fei wouldn¡¯t know any of this if not for Catherine. Everything is now ready. At this moment, thick clouds loom overhead, the Blood Sea churns violently, and a fierce wind howls dimly between the sea and sky. With sails lowered, the Flying pitches and rolls significantly amidst the waves. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei and Catherine face each other in the cockpit, both breaking out in a cold sweat. The storm hasn¡¯t arrived yet, but its presence is already heart-stopping. This storm is definitely much stronger than the first two encountered! Could it be that the Demon World produces only fine products, even storms are a few grades higher than the surface world? This spectacle might even be too much for me, just recently promoted to an Intermediate Navigator! Da Fei must prepare for the worst. If the ship capsizes, the mission would surely fail, and the barracks onboard would go to waste, which is a mere billion in losses. Catherine grasped the Master-level Navigation Skill, and could be the lead locomotive in towing ships for a comeback. Money is not the issue. The problem is, Didi and Lili, these two dearly nurtured little darlings would also perish, which emotionally, Da Fei finds unbearable. While wrestling with this thought, a thunderstorm shakes the sea and sky, the whole world lit up with red lightning, and the fierce wind rises! Da Fei shudders, Here it comes!

Chapter 150 - Chapter 150 Chapter 145 Flying Resurrection Chapter 150: Chapter 145: Flying Resurrection Chapter 150: Chapter 145: Flying Resurrection The storm descended in an instant! The gale from the Demon World roared like an ancient beast, and the massive waves of the Blood Sea stood like towering city walls! Staring at the blood-colored storm surge sweeping towards them, Da Fei and Catherine were frozen in terror! Are you kidding! This is obviously a tsunami! If such a storm occurred in the surface world, it would definitely be of apocalyptic proportions, right? Is this mission really trying to end me here? Catherine immediately snapped back to reality and shouted to the skilled gunners on duty on the deck: ¡°Raise the sails, dodge the waves!¡± These sailors were pulled from the gun cabin by Catherine; they had the strongest attributes and were the only ones who could hold the line on deck. Da Fei felt a chill in his heart. Raising sails in a storm, what kind of courage was required! But was there even a choice? The sails rose, and the entire Flying gave a loud creak before suddenly jolting; it shot forth like an arrow off the string! Da Fei couldn¡¯t imagine a ship moving this fast! ¨CSystem Prompt: Flying¡¯s second layer hold support on the second mast broke, please repair immediately. Flying Durability -46! ¨CSystem Prompt: Flying¡¯s first layer hold support on the main mast broke, please repair immediately. Flying Durability -67! Da Fei felt a tightening fear! Was it really too fast, exceeding the ship¡¯s tolerance? But there was no time to think. He shouted: ¡°Repair the ship!¡± A clattering sound of hammering came from the hold. ¨CSystem Prompt: You struggled against the storm, gaining Experience +5800! 5800 Experience! Last time such a storm was only 1500, meaning this storm¡¯s power was nearly four times that of the last? What player could withstand this! With a thunderous boom, a massive wave crashed down, and the Flying narrowly avoided an overtopping disaster, flying upwards into the air from the wave¡¯s impact! Da Fei felt his feet lift unexpectedly, then he and Catherine screamed aloud! I am not a spaceship, ah! ¨CBoom!!! With a massive crash, the Flying landed! Da Fei¡¯s head slammed into the cockpit, -36! A small life was lost! ¨CSystem Prompt: The Flying¡¯s hold has a large crack, urgently drain water and reinforce the crack! Flying Durability -113! Heavens, are you kidding me! It¡¯s only been a few seconds and two hundred durability is gone! Repair it now! Just then, another wave of blood-colored water came crashing sideways. Da Fei shouted: ¡°Watch out!¡± Catherine suddenly turned the rudder, shouting: ¡°Raise the Magic Sail!¡± Boom! With the acceleration from the Magic Sail, the Flying dodged another disaster, sailing through the air once more! Simultaneously, the hull creaked with a great groan in the air, as a swarm of system prompts about the ship¡¯s critical damage scrolled across the screen! Upon landing, it was more booming, groaning, and creaking! Da Fei was too shocked to feel anything. Each massive wave was a deathly danger, and Catherine persistently and skillfully controlled the Flying to dodge left and right. Even so, the Flying¡¯s durability continued to drop amidst violent tremors, and the sailors in the hold tasked with repairs were disoriented and couldn¡¯t manage effective repairs! There was no chance to fix the ship! After another giant wave hit, the Flying¡¯s durability dropped below 200! ¨CSystem Prompt: Warning! Warning! Flying¡¯s durability is critically below safe levels and may disintegrate and sink at any moment! It¡¯s over, this is the end! Da Fei closed his eyes with a long sigh. Was this fate trying to end me? Maybe I really should have stayed in the Pool of Radiance to help other players win the National War and purify the Pool of Radiance. By then, the Flying would have absorbed the so-called Life Energy, fully revived, and its strength and durability, combined with my team¡¯s advanced Sailing Skills, would fear no mere storm! Ah, it went wrong, but my life has no regrets! Goodbye, my Didi, goodbye, my Lili, if someday I can build another Banshee Camp, I will definitely raise two BOSS-level Banshees again, and their names will still be Didi and Lili. Goodbye, my Deirdre, I hope next time we meet, we are not enemies. Goodbye, Mrs. Anwen, this mission¡¯s failure means I might not see you again. It¡¯s a pity I couldn¡¯t learn the Divine Skill Magic Coordination from you. But thank you for teaching me so much. I know two other methods for advancing to Grandmaster, and I will one day stand proudly at the world¡¯s peak as a Grandmaster. Goodbye, Abyss Blood Pool, if there¡¯s a chance in the future, I will rush in with God-level Skills to punish those in your realm! As he recalled with closed eyes, Catherine¡¯s ecstatic scream broke through: ¡°The Flying has auto-recovered!¡± Da Fei was stunned, and quickly opened his eyes to see a slew of system prompts scrolling past! ¨CSystem Prompt: Flying absorbed the essence of the Blood Sea Storm, Durability +37! ¨CSystem Prompt: Flying absorbed the essence of the Blood Sea Storm, Durability +45! . . . ¨CSystem Prompt: Flying absorbed the essence of the Blood Sea Storm, Durability +36! Da Fei was dumbfounded! The ship was regenerating? The ship really was regenerating! Not repaired by sailors, the system prompt used the word ¡°absorbed!¡± Why ¡°absorbed¡±? Why is the ship regenerating? It¡¯s regenerating wonderfully! Wahahaha! In the euphoria of finding hope in despair, Da Fei frantically opened Flying¡¯s attributes: Ship name: Flying (Task Reward, bound to players, cannot be traded) Ship Level: Level 0. Captain: Da Fei Ship Special Skill: Divine¡¯s Blessing (Sailor Luck +2) Ship Model: Large four-masted three-deck high-speed frigate. Ship cargo capacity: 500 units Ship Gun Cabin: 32 gun positions. (16 on port side, 16 on starboard) Ship Usage Time: 10 years Minimum sailor capacity: 30 people Ship Durability: 316/316 Ship Speed: 10 Ship Armor Defense: Port side 80, Starboard side 80, Bow 55, Stern 46. Ship Room Configuration: Cockpit 1, Captain¡¯s Room 1, Deputy Officer¡¯s Rest Room 6, Staff Room 1, accounting room 1, Treatment Room 2, kitchen 1, special room 1, entertainment room 1, sailors¡¯ dormitory 2 (capacity 200 people) Ship Auxiliary Equipment: White Shark Ship¡¯s Figurehead, Space Transfer Array, Wind Energy Magic Sail, Landing Craft 4. Sea God Insurance Level: 0 (The ship is not protected by the Sea God, and will sink permanently in case of accident) Ship Current Status: Blood Revival, cursed by Curse of Misfortune (Sailor Luck -3), main mast damaged, hull cracked. . . . . ¡°Ship Level 0! Ship Current Status Blood Revival!¡± Staring at the newly appeared two attributes, and the continuously skyrocketing ship¡¯s durability, Da Fei was dumbfounded! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CBlood Revival: The Flying is a ship blessed by Divine and cursed by demons, possessing sentience. In the current Demon God-powered storm, it awakened its survival instinct at the critical moment, gaining life and continuously absorbing life energy from the storm to restore itself. It¡¯s alive! Truly alive! Da Fei trembled with excitement and tears streamed down his face! Exactly, Auseliman said long ago, every tree has a soul! The elven foreman at the dock also once said this ship had life, and with life comes level! In other words, this Abyss Blood Pool is similar in nature to the Pool of Radiance? So even if the ship didn¡¯t absorb life energy to repair in the Pool of Radiance, it can still absorb energy from this Demon God Storm once in the Abyss Blood Pool to repair? Having figured this out, Da Fei laughed heartily, this was light from the west when there was none from the east! Who cares what you absorb! As long as you can be repaired, then absorb to your heart¡¯s content! I couldn¡¯t care less if you¡¯re a ship of light or of demons! Heaven doesn¡¯t abandon me, wahahaha! (To be continued.

Chapter 151 - Chapter 151 Chapter 146 Blood Sea Wave Goes to Battle Chapter 151: Chapter 146 Blood Sea Wave Goes to Battle Chapter 151: Chapter 146 Blood Sea Wave Goes to Battle The resurrected Flying gave Da Fei unparalleled confidence. Now, Catherine continued to maneuver the Flying to dodge the giant waves sweeping in. Amidst the jolts, damages, and constant repairs, the durability of the Flying began to recover steadily. Da Fei laughed heartily to the sky, ¡°Trying to destroy me! My skills are meant to defy the heavens!¡± Just as Da Fei was reveling in the 5800 experience points popping up every few seconds, another thunderstorm broke out in the sky, a blood-red rainstorm poured down, shrouding sea and sky in a dark red veil! Visibility was reduced to the extreme! Catherine exclaimed, ¡°I can¡¯t see the giant waves!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You resisted the storm and gained 10800 experience! Da Fei was suddenly shocked, ¡°Experience exceeded ten thousand! The difficulty doubled! Catherine can¡¯t see! But¨Cmy God-level Reconnaissance Technique can see!¡± Da Fei lunged behind Catherine, placed his hands firmly on hers on the helm, and said firmly, ¡°My eyes are your eyes, let¡¯s merge!¡± Catherine nudged Da Fei away with her rear, hastily shouted, ¡°Captain, get up to the Observatory! Double as the Sailing Captain!¡± Sailing Captain? Yes, Sailing Captain! Da Fei hurriedly opened the cockpit door, and the storm mixed with torrential blood rain hit his face, swaying him violently, the entire cockpit awash with blood! Catherine exclaimed, ¡°Captain, get in position quickly!¡± Damn! It¡¯s the First Officer ordering the Captain! Da Fei stabilized himself, struggled to rush out, and climbed towards the top of the mast to the Observatory amidst the swirling chaos, and in that instant, Da Fei saw a side wave pressing from the darkness! Da Fei shouted wildly, ¡°Charge forward!!!¡± Boom, splash!!! The Flying soared again, Da Fei tightly gripped the ladder, his entire body becoming a human flag waving in the wind! Being the Captain, I¡¯m too amateur! Although the Sailing Captain was mentioned several times in the text, let¡¯s introduce the Sailing Captain here. ¨CSailing Captain: A job for heroes with reconnaissance skills. Once the Sailing Captain takes position at the Observatory, the entire ship shares the vision. The reconnaissance skills of the Sailing Captain and the Captain complement each other. The Observatory possesses the Sniper Special Skill. ¨CSniper: With a certain chance, deals 300% long-range damage to the target. So, only when Da Fei crouches at the Observatory, his eyes truly transform into Catherine¡¯s eyes. This position and the Captain¡¯s relationship are similar to the First Officer and the Captain, mutually supportive, with higher levels covering the lower ones. As Da Fei possesses God-level Reconnaissance Technique, any Vice Hero with reconnaissance skills can activate this position to allow the entire ship to share Da Fei¡¯s God-level vision. Now, Da Fei clung desperately to the mast, getting into position, like a searchlight, the ship¡¯s surroundings suddenly brightened and vision was shared across the ship! Oh yeah! Ultimately, it¡¯s because I lack manpower under my command, it seems like I¡¯ll have to recruit a hero with reconnaissance skills for this position in the future. With Da Fei¡¯s beacon in the storm, Catherine maneuvered to dodge the giant waves with greater ease. And under the blood rain¡¯s bath, the Flying¡¯s durability restored faster and faster, already breaking the 1000 mark! Da Fei embraced the mast, cursed and laughed heartily to the sky, ¡°Bring it on! C¡¯mon baby!¡± The gale roared, the Blood Sea surged, and Da Fei¡¯s wild laughter echoed between the sea and sky. . . . At Shendong Normal University, when Da Bing and Da Wei came out of the office on duty during the Spring Festival at the academic affairs department, Da Bing laughed heartily to the sky. Da Bing, excited, patted Da Wei¡¯s shoulder, repeatedly praising, ¡°You¡¯re amazing! No wonder you¡¯re a top student in the track team known throughout the campus, if it were me handling this, I would¡¯ve been shot down on the spot.¡± Da Wei, holding a stack of documents with an excessively long title, ¡°Report on the Application to Establish the Shendong Normal University E-sports Club and the Club¡¯s Activity Aims¡­¡± smiled shyly, ¡°After all, I took one of his courses in my first year.¡± Da Bing laughed heartily, ¡°The key is you won a bronze medal in the city championships that year and got him promoted! So, we¡¯ve been waiting for this day when he¡¯s on duty! Anyway, if our team ever hits it big in the future, don¡¯t forget to give him some benefits.¡± Da Wei coughed lightly, ¡°This¡­ I won¡¯t forget, it¡¯s just, is it necessary to make such a show and let the teachers know? Can¡¯t we students do our activities privately? As long as it doesn¡¯t affect classes, it¡¯s all good, right?¡± Da Bing sighed, disappointed, ¡°This is a career! Do you understand student entrepreneurship! He agreed so readily, maybe out of favor thinking we¡¯re just playing, but you can¡¯t treat it as just playing! Without pulling up the big school tiger skin, how do we attract investment? How do we get advertisements? Once we¡¯ve got enough steam, and the school reacts, the first thing we do is give him benefits to help us hold the fort! As long as we hurry up and establish a Chamber of Commerce in the game, make a name in the game, then we won¡¯t need him anyway, we¡¯re only in school for one year.¡± Hearing ¡®one year in school,¡¯ Da Wei couldn¡¯t help but nod heavily. Da Bing laughed heartily, ¡°In any case, we¡¯ve got the tiger skin, next we¡¯ll figure out how to rent a server and hire some experts to build a website for us, that¡¯s the mark of getting bigger and stronger. Then we¡¯ll lead the fashion direction, holding various events, selecting hero rankings, beauty rankings! By then, various teams will pay us to get on the list, hahaha!¡± Da Wei nodded, ¡°I think we should find a few postgraduates from the Computer Science Department?¡± Da Bing sneered, ¡°Computer Science? Besides playing games, what else can they do?¡± Then suddenly paused, ¡°Good! From the Computer Science Department, playing games is even better, we¡¯ll enroll them as the first batch of members! Even if they¡¯re not good at making websites, they must know someone who is, right? Let¡¯s go, straight to their dormitory, they must be holed up playing heroes.¡± Da Wei nodded, ¡°What about the National War? Do you think it will delay us?¡± Da Bing immediately pulled out his phone to check the latest news, then laughed heartily, ¡°Relax, Dragon Slayer and the Japanese haven¡¯t moved, we¡¯ll move only when their level 6 soldiers¡¯ Mana is exhausted. In short, no one is a fool, everyone¡¯s watching their level 6 soldiers¡¯ Mana, hahaha!¡± . . . While Da Fei was battling the raging waves in the Abyss Blood Pool, the National War at the Pool of Radiance was equally intense. But most people were observing, watching how the Elf Kingdom would respond to the overwhelming reinforcement of Spider Demons. This was something players absolutely couldn¡¯t handle. Only when the Elf Kingdom showed their trump card would the true decisive moment come. Dragon Slayer, the Japan area, and Star, known as the Star Annihilation Team of a thousand professional players, all chose to remain inactive. As for the US-Japan-India Hell Coalition, the recent failed siege on the Super Hero left a lingering shadow. Of course, no one wanted to boost enemy morale while undermining their own prestige, so this battle on the edge of the Pool of Radiance was known only to those present and the command behind them. For the United States, failure was unacceptable, even if the responsibility didn¡¯t lie with the Hell Branch, the appearance of the Super Hero did challenge the strategic layout of the U.S. Supernova Team. Consequently, the Supernova Team¡¯s New York headquarters swiftly collected all videos related to ¡°Future Soldier Duffy¡± sent by the Los Angeles Branch, and appointed specialists to analyze and respond. The U.S. Supernova Team¡¯s goal was undoubtedly the new continent, a massive world with 50% ocean, where all continents could be reached by sea. Establishing a powerful naval professional player team was the strategic vision of the Supernova Team. In reality, for the US, a super naval power, establishing a navy was ingrained in the consciousness of every citizen. The UK, sharing the same vision, named their National War team ¡°Royal Ark,¡± carrying the beautiful dreams of this once-worldwide empire. Speaking of nostalgia, the European Union¡¯s Spain, Portugal, and Holland players were no exception, not only excelling in football but also having a glorious era of great navigation. These players spontaneously mobilized to dominate the sea, but given their small numbers and weak power, the possibility of them becoming pirates was quite high, and they were classified as potential dangerous groups for key monitoring by the Supernova Team. And now, there¡¯s no doubt that ¡°Duffy,¡± notorious for robbery and deceiving merchants, was added to the danger list of the Supernova Team. . . . At the Pool of Radiance, Lake Island, with a flash of light, new players joined the fray. By this time, Lake Island was densely packed with ordinary players observing and waiting for the right moment to join the battle. Although Star had strong appeal, the frontline was very passionate, but many rational ordinary players were among them. As soon as these new players appeared, they drew the crowd¡¯s attention. The leading player clad in blood armor was extremely eye-catching, and the three Vice Heroes with him, each standing with a blood-red aura under their feet, wielding blood-red curved swords, and possessing gigantic statures, were even more striking! ¡°Blood Sea Wave! God-level Sea Battle Hero Blood Sea Wave!¡± The entire crowd was in an uproar! This is exactly the feeling I wanted! They¡¯re aware of me! Though I¡¯ve never appeared in the underworld, there¡¯s still a legend about me in it! The crowd immediately buzzed, ¡°Tycoon, still offering rewards for the fraud Da Fei?¡± ¡°Tycoon, it¡¯s said that your studio has allied with Dragon Slayer, what¡¯s your plan?¡± ¡°Tycoon, let¡¯s be friends!¡± You pathetic lot! Blood Sea Wave waved to the surrounding crowd, calmly said, ¡°Our Blood Sea Studio is here for the National War, our goal is to showcase our Blood Sea Studio¡¯s strength in this National War, I hope you all become witnesses to our victory, feel free to follow and see for yourself what professionalism really is!¡± The crowd was in an uproar, but no one moved. After all, even Star couldn¡¯t move them. But no matter, they would speak with their achievements later. The tycoons made their way through the crowd to the shore, where Flower Demon Shipworkers pushed out new ships, and once the tycoons boarded, their forces were displayed. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Pirate Soldiers!¡± The entire island bank exploded with amazement once again! Blood Sea Wave turned back to the crowd with a smile, ¡°According to beta testers, Pirate Soldiers have combat power equivalent to level 6 soldiers on the sea. I want to see if my level 6 soldiers are more powerful or theirs, are you interested in watching?¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Some players on the shore, having waited so long they were restless, immediately jumped into the water to board the ship. Not daring to join the fight didn¡¯t mean they couldn¡¯t dare to watch, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t have a chance to befriend Tycoon! ¡°Let¡¯s go, let¡¯s go!¡± In an instant, the crowd responded enthusiastically, diving into the water. Blood Sea Wave laughed heartily! There was no inherent meaning in calling them, but getting people whom even Star couldn¡¯t move to jump into the water had significant meaning! This was the first step in the God-level Hero¡¯s show! The next step was, of course, to gather all eyes on oneself in this grand moment, becoming the person to change the course of the National War!

Chapter 152 - Chapter 152 Chapter 147 God-level Sea Battle Hero Conquers the Chapter 152: Chapter 147 God-level Sea Battle Hero Conquers the World Chapter 152: Chapter 147 God-level Sea Battle Hero Conquers the World ¡ª-Pirate Warrior: Small-sized human, a unique unit of neutral force, Attack 10, Defense 2, Damage 6-10, Life 35, Attack Speed 14, Move Speed 12, Command Value 2, Special Skill: Sailing Skill, Flying Axe, Agile Evasion, War Plunder. ¡ª-Abyss Lord: Large-sized Demon, the Hell Race¡¯s level 6 unit in normal form, Attack 21, Defense 21, Damage 13-26, Life 120, Attack Speed 8, Move Speed 8, Command Value: 8, Special Skill: Advanced Fireball Technique, Intermediate Armor Weakening, Beheading Sword. This was the attribute gap between the pirate and the Abyss Lord, the qualitative difference between level 4 and level 6 units! Strictly classified, the pirate¡¯s low defense and 2 Command Value made him a level 3 unit. How could a level 3 unit overturn a level 6 unit at sea? This indeed tugged at the heartstrings of all the players present¨Cthose egg-pain players genuinely wanted to see how the so-called God-level Hero could turn decay into magic! Blood Sea Wave, currently level 25. Skills: Master-level Attack Skill, Master-level Pirate, Master-level Navigation Skill, Master Leadership Skill. Sub-skills not fully learned. The 50% damage boost from Master-level Attack and the additional 50% damage from Master-level Pirate indeed doubled the pirate¡¯s damage from 6-10 to the level of the Abyss Lord, but it was far from enough, given that Hell Race players generally had Attack Skills too. What gave Blood Sea Wave immense confidence was, of course, his God-level specialty, Admiral. ¡ª-Admiral: The hero¡¯s troop gained enhanced sea combat strength with each level increase. This was a very vague specialty description. By how many percentage points did combat strength increase per level? Which attributes did combat strength refer to among attack, defense, damage, and speed? From players¡¯ studies during the public test phase, the more vague the skill or specialty description, the greater the exploitable potential space. And being exploitable was a true master¡¯s mark. In normal situations, Blood Sea Wave¡¯s specialty was similar to those kinds of troop specialties that increased both attack and defense by 1 point every 2 levels. However, his specialty enhanced all troops¡¯ attack and defense by 1 point every 4 or 5 levels. At level 25, he increased his troops¡¯ attack and defense by 5 or 6 points, without adding to speed and damage. Because this affected all troop types, it was much stronger than ordinary single troop type specialties. But this alone was equivalent to an extra equipment slot; it didn¡¯t qualify as a God-level Hero. In reality, the effects in battles were far from such. In short, when a troop¡¯s morale exploded, all its attack, defense, speed, and damage increased! And when the troop kept winning, this boost kept stacking temporarily to an astonishing degree! This was the legendary phenomenon of getting braver with each battle! Therefore, morale and winning streaks were the keys to enhancing this specialty. Blood Sea Wave¡¯s Master Leadership Skill, combined with various morale-boosting items and visiting the War Temple for a temporary +3 morale before teleportation, increased his morale to 13, with a 26% chance of morale explosion! And with each victorious battle, morale exploded once more! In short, this group P brawl was the stage for Blood Sea Wave¡¯s talents. With five consecutive victories at the start, his troops¨Cspecifically, the three pirate Vice Heroes leading the charge¨Creached terrifying levels, capable of crushing level 6 troops with ease. Now, Blood Sea Studio¡¯s tycoons sailed toward the center of the big battlefield, trailed by a large group of players without the Sailing Skill. As a pirate, Blood Sea Wave sped far ahead, leaving ordinary players behind in his wake. Such fast sailing speed! No wonder he claimed to be a professional! Such a flabbergasting start instantly caused a commotion on the regional channel! ¡ª-Regional Channel: ¡°The first God-level Sea Battle Hero from China Region is in action!¡± ¡ª-Regional Channel: ¡°The God-level tycoon Blood Sea Wave from the China Region is fighting!¡± ¡ª-Regional Channel: ¡°The sea battle expert Blood Sea Wave is about to present a level 6 unit PK show live!¡± The sudden channel information made the players on the China Region¡¯s frontlines stir internally as if reinforcements had arrived like Thunderbolt. All players, all Star members, and the command of Star all redirected their attention to the battlefield¡¯s rear. There, a small boat skimming across the waters approached rapidly! The entire battlefield was in an uproar! Although they didn¡¯t know how powerful Blood Sea Wave was, such speed, such attention-grabbing entrance, and the title of God-level Hero indeed filled everyone with infinite anticipation. ¡°This is exactly the effect I wanted!¡± Blood Sea Wave chuckled as he watched the information on the screen. Closer! At this moment, the entire battlefield was in chaos, with the ships of both sides intertwining. Under all the attention, Blood Sea Wave¡¯s tiny boat sailed head-on toward the bow of an Indian Impact Ship! The scene exploded into an uproar¨Cthat ship had a battering ram! What was this God-level Hero trying to do? Was he speeding too fast to brake or turn? Meanwhile, the Indian player lying on the deck, exposing only half of his head, was equally shocked! Was the opponent seeking death? At that moment, three Pirate Heroes on the tiny boat suddenly leaped into the air like three flesh bombs, landing on the Indian player¡¯s ship¨CBoom! A dull thumping sound, a slight tremor, and a gleaming white light shot skyward¨Cthe moment the three heroes landed was when the Indian player was beheaded! ¡ª-Battle Report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave killed Indian Zone player Jiajami; Jiajami¡¯s troops were annihilated! ¡°Wow!!! Beheading!¡± The long-awaited regional channel erupted in excitement! Furious Sea Waves laughed heartily, ¡°This is just the effect I wanted! But the best is yet to come!¡± The tiny boat made a slight turn, barely brushing past the bow of the Impact Ship as the three Pirate Heroes disregarded the remaining enemies on board and hopped back onto the tiny boat. The target, the next one! ¡°Wow!!!¡± Such proficient ship-handling, such efficient and clean beheading, once again erupted with excitement on the site! Now, the tiny boat rushed toward an Impact Ship engaged in a grappling battle with a certain female Chinese player, killing people left and right. Saving the beauty amid the crowd, a timeless theme. Once again, the three flesh bombs ascended into the sky, and in the German player¡¯s terrified gaze, three massive shadows descended from above¨CBoom! Another white light soared heavenward! ¡ª-Battle Report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave killed European Zone German player Waterman; Waterman¡¯s troops were annihilated! ¡°Wow! Two consecutive victories!¡± The battlefield channel exploded once more! In the Chinese female player¡¯s stunned gaze, the three pirates waved as they flicked their sleeves: ¡°No need to thank us!¡± ¡°Call us The Red Scarves!¡± ¡°Or, the Three Mischievous Pirates!¡± ¡°We¡¯re the Rocket Team sailing the seas!¡± ¡°We¡¯re history¡¯s most charming villains!¡± ¡°A white tomorrow awaits us!¡± ¡°Onward, to battle!¡± Watching the handsome figures of the three pirates as they leaped back onto the small boat, watching Blood Sea Wave¡¯s solitary boat speed away, the female player named Luoshui Shenzi regained her senses and shouted, ¡°Tycoon, let¡¯s be friends, pleeease¡­¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª-Battle Report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave killed European Zone Italian player Berlusconi; Berlusconi¡¯s troops were annihilated! ¡ª-Battle Report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave killed European Zone French player Ponarun; Ponarun¡¯s troops were annihilated! ¡­ Blood Sea Wave dominated the battlefield, slaughtered his enemies, swept everything before him, and laughed long and loudly! The entire battlefield was in an uproar! The entire China Region was in an uproar! At this moment, the whole world¡¯s gaze was fixed on this rumored God-level Sea Battle Hero from the China Region! His prowess conquered the global audience! On the U.S. Supernova Team¡¯s list of dangerous elements, another S-level dangerous element was added in an instant!!! (To be continued.

Chapter 153 - Chapter 153 Chapter 148 You Joining the Battle with Them Chapter 153: Chapter 148: You, Joining the Battle with Them Chapter 153: Chapter 148: You, Joining the Battle with Them The activity of Blood Sea Wave invigorated the entire stalemated battlefield, and such a striking performance naturally made him the target that the Multi-National Forces had to eliminate. The Abyss Lord players who still had mana immediately focused their fire on Blood Sea Wave! Dozens of large fireballs whistled from different directions, flying towards the small boat of Blood Sea Wave! The entire regional channel exclaimed in astonishment! Blood Sea Wave chuckled, this was the real time to showcase the strength of a God-level Sea Battle Hero. With a wave of Blood Sea Wave¡¯s hand, all the pirates on board immediately jumped into the water! Boom, boom, boom, boom! Amidst the roaring flames and the cries of the entire battlefield, the small boat of Blood Sea Wave turned into a pile of ashes. At this moment, several hooks shot out from the water, latching onto the side of a nearby assault ship. The three familiar and burly pirate Three Swordsmen emerged like dragons from the sea, dramatically landing with a swift cut and a flash of blood amidst the roaring cheers! ¡ª Battle Report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave has killed Norway player Beebear from the European Union Zone, and Beebear¡¯s troops were routed! The whole crowd erupted! Without the leadership of a hero, the remaining level 6 soldiers on the ship were no match for the Three Swordsmen. The Three Swordsmen and the pirates who boarded immediately began to slaughter these ¡°wild monsters.¡± Dozens more fireballs whistled through the air! Amidst another wave of exclamations, Blood Sea Wave¡¯s troops jumped into the water again! He wanted to prove that fireballs couldn¡¯t kill him! ¡ª Regional Channel [Blood Sea Wave]: No one can stop me anymore! ¡ª World Channel [Blood Sea Wave]: No one can stop me anymore! The entire battlefield erupted once more! The stalemated battle situation found a breakthrough due to the deployment of the God-level Hero, playing a significant point-to-surface role, and the war balance began to tilt! At that moment, ¡ª Regional Channel [Old Jiang]: Star Guild¡¯s main force, Star Annihilation Team, attack! ¡ª World Channel [Eternal Star]: Star Guild¡¯s main force, Star Annihilation Team, attack! For an instant, the entire world channel was flooded with ¡°Star strikes!¡± and ¡°Our journey is the Star Sea!¡± instantly igniting the whole world. Although the attack at this moment seemed to be led by Blood Sea Wave, and Star wasn¡¯t happy about it, their tactical quality as professional players was clear. This was the best time to attack and couldn¡¯t be missed. Moreover, if Blood Sea Wave suddenly shouted ¡°Charge with me¡± publicly, how would Star uphold its reputation? Thus, allowing people to work for Star, allowed! Wanting to bask in Star¡¯s glory, also allowed. But wanting to overshadow Star, that¡¯s absolutely unacceptable. Star wouldn¡¯t give him this chance. The overwhelming buzz all over the world channel was not only to add momentum for Star¡¯s attack but also to drown out any random noises from a few individuals. Indeed, Blood Sea Wave was a beat slower, and by the time he wanted to speak publicly, no one could see it clearly anymore. In the face of Star¡¯s enormous momentum, the attention of players worldwide instantly focused on them, turning his debut performance into just a supporting role. Too frustrating, causing Blood Sea Wave to curse silently. ¡­ The legendary main force of the Star Annihilation Team from Star Guild moved! The Pool of Radiance Island shimmered with white light as crowds surged, and hundreds of massive World Tree leaves descended from the sky, transforming into light boats in large formations. The players throughout the Lake Island exclaimed. The Star Annihilation Team was an elite team formed by Star to combat the world¡¯s professional player alliance, currently with more than a thousand members. Among these, only a few hundred were professional players, while the rest were civilian elite. After all, Star couldn¡¯t afford a team of over a thousand high-salary professional players. These civilian elites were either students or internet cafe youths, burning with passion and enthusiasm to sweat their youth on the stage of national war. Most importantly, they aspired to become official members¨Ca result of them being easily coaxed. A voice shouted: ¡°Hello, everyone! The Star Guild is launching a full-scale attack, will you join us? Will you bear witness to the glory of victory with the China Region? What are you waiting for, come on!¡± ¡°Charge!¡± The ordinary players who had been watching on the island moved. The large-scale world atmosphere that was built up seemed like a world-wide call to arms for a general offensive. Even players with great resolve couldn¡¯t help but get excited, their blood boiling! Moreover, following the main force is the only way for ordinary players to survive. It wouldn¡¯t be wrong to set out at this time. Meanwhile, Da Bing and Da Wei, accompanied by a group of newly recruited computer science geeks, also set out. Following the main force is indeed the strategy for freelancers to survive, but if freelancers are too weak, they won¡¯t gain much benefit. Now, the ten-member team of Da Bing and Da Wei had some strength and had a good chance of snatching some kills. ¡­ Facing Star, facing the full-line assault of the China Region players, the Japan players, who had been conserving their strength, also had to move, although following the rhythm of the opponent was an unpleasant thing. Compared to Star, which supposedly had a thousand-member Star Annihilation Team including several hundred temporary workers, the main force of Japan, the Hell Race, truly consisted of a thousand people. Its scale and quality were only better than Star. However, the disadvantage was that the Hell Race lacked long-range capabilities, which was disadvantageous. The decisive battle commenced. The Star main force team encircled from the battlefield¡¯s flank. Facing such a concentrated group, the Multi-Nation Hell Coalition wouldn¡¯t hold back. Various large fireballs whistled towards them. The entire Underground Sea was again painted red by firelight, and the astonishing visual effects caused widespread amazement worldwide! The Star main force team, of course, demonstrated its professional quality distinct from ordinary players. Amidst the firelight, the shining Healing Light formed a continuous golden curtain! Facing a truly well-equipped main force team, flashy spells like Abyss Fireball fulfilled their true mission, which was to deplete the mana of the opposing team¡¯s healing players! ¡ª ¡°Full retreat!¡± The Japan Zone urgently called out on the battlefield channel. ¡ª ¡°Full retreat!¡± The Indian Zone immediately responded. Indeed, following the rhythm of a superior enemy was a foolish move, especially when realizing the opponent¡¯s standard was quite high. A wise choice at this time was to retreat to the shore to recover mana, or see if they could find NPCs to replenish their forces. With the firepower cover of the Magic Watchtower on the shore, there was no fear of pursuit. Moreover, with Spider Demon reinforcements, the upper hand was evident; there was no need to fight desperately against the China Region. Thus, all the Demon Servant Shipworkers on the giant paddle ships immediately turned around and maneuvered the battleships away from the battlefield towards the shore. Yes, the giant paddle ship was pointed at both ends, making reverse movement convenient. This somewhat compensated for its sluggish turning performance. ¡ª Battle Report: The Hell Camp retreated, the morale of the entire army -2! The Bright Alliance won, the morale of the entire army +1! The entire battlefield was a scene of astonishment! Immediately followed by a wave of national curses. This Japan Zone was really too cowardly! Such a full-strength empty strike felt like taking off one¡¯s pants only to see it¡¯s a horseback film! But regardless, repelling the enemy was a temporary victory worth celebrating, so the entire world channel was again filled with various kinds of messages. And as the activator of this grand offensive, Blood Sea Wave, people hadn¡¯t forgotten him. As he received prisoners of war, he waved to the vast players, and meanwhile, an overwhelming wave of invitations and congratulations from Star, Ninth Heaven, came his way. This battle made Blood Sea Wave famous in one fell swoop, establishing his status as a world-class God-level Hero. However, Blood Sea Wave was deeply troubled. Having become such a well-known figure, how could he continue being a pirate robbing players? Would he really have to become a righteous pirate like One Piece¡¯s Luffy? ¡­ At the Hell Camp, the Multi-National Coalition retreated back to the shore. As leaders from various countries scurried to see if they could get reinforcements from Siriel, the flaming Siriel was scolding the shivering Deirdre. Startled, the Indian Zone and China Zone urgently stepped forward to observe. ¡°Speak! Why did the Crossbow Cannon explode? Why did it explode!!!¡± Deirdre exclaimed in terror, ¡°Master, I, I don¡¯t know, it¡¯s, it¡¯s something I stole from a human Grand Mage!¡± (Note: Phantom Crossbow Cannon will self-destruct if lost) Siriel angrily shouted, ¡°Do you know the mistake you¡¯ve just committed? Delib ranks as Grand Marshal, several grades above me! She can execute you, a mere Banshee, as an assassin!¡± Deirdre was completely petrified! Aamirhan from India and Lei Huolong, the number one from Chinese Hell, stepped forward in panic and said, ¡°Officer, let¡¯s talk about this nicely!¡± ¡°My lord, allow me to bear her sins!¡± Siriel¡¯s voice roared with anger, ¡°You group of failures! How dare you come back!?¡± His roar resounded throughout the camp, and for a moment, the leaders of various countries ducked their heads in terror. This, don¡¯t provoke him, or risk having this damned NPC suspend their ranks. At this moment, Siriel approached the trembling leaders from different countries, his expression stern as he said, ¡°First, let me inform you of a piece of bad news. Your original mission, to guard the Abyss Blood Pool, has failed!¡± ¡°Failed?¡± The crowd exclaimed in shock! There was no system prompt? Siriel said solemnly, ¡°Letting the holy Abyss Blood Pool be tainted by alien corpses, that¡¯s failure! Though the fault is not yours, that doesn¡¯t prevent the decision-makers from venting anger on you, and you have failed again!¡± So, that Super Hero¡¯s invasion failed? For a moment, those who knew the inside story from various countries breathed a sigh of relief. However, the ones truly in trouble who would bear the brunt of the blame wouldn¡¯t be the players, right? Of course, it would be you, the official! Your situation is the most subtle! Thus, seeing the situation clearly, Igarashi from the Japan Zone immediately said, ¡°Sir, we cannot afford to fail again! We lack troops and request reinforcements!¡± Nehru from the Indian Zone comprehended immediately, ¡°That¡¯s right, sir. We need to replenish the lost troops. As long as we push on a little harder, we can definitely destroy the World Tree!¡± For a moment, leaders from various countries requested reinforcement. This was a chance to bet on the NPC. Everyone was a professional player, and wouldn¡¯t miss this opportunity.

The Indian Zone players roared! Siriel coldly said, ¡°You must achieve a meritorious deed so that I can protect you, otherwise, even if Delib doesn¡¯t pursue you, I will behead you and send you to her as atonement!¡± Damn it!

Chapter 154 - Chapter 154 Chapter 149 The Final Battle of the Pool of Chapter 154: Chapter 149 The Final Battle of the Pool of Radiance Begins Chapter 154: Chapter 149 The Final Battle of the Pool of Radiance Begins ¡°Send a level 5 trial hero to the battlefield!¡± This order from the enraged commander stunned the players in the Indian Zone! Of course, it also shocked the top brass of Dragon Slayer. The demon world was just that ruthless! Deirdre had no choice but to obey. She feared death, but not to the point of being deathly pale. After all, she had survived countless battles from being a mere soldier to where she was today. Would she survive this time? Deirdre quickly said, ¡°I will definitely make amends, though I hope to lead suitable troops and have a crossbow cannon to showcase my talents.¡± Siriel waved his hand, ¡°Of course, I know what suitable troops are, and I¡¯ll make sure the workshop adds a cannon mount to your warship!¡± Then he addressed the group of player leaders, ¡°You don¡¯t have much time, I hope you can pacify the Demon King¡¯s rage with your battle achievements! Come on over!¡± They had troops! Except for the frustrated Indian Zone, players from other countries were elated. Siriel led a large group of players to the lava lake behind the workshop. Being a flame demon by birth, he felt an inexplicable kinship with the lava. He strolled across the lava as if he were walking through a leisurely garden. He began casting spells at the center of the lake, and without a doubt, it had to be to summon troops like flame demons, who usually had the ability to throw flames. This made them capable of competing with the level 2 and 3 troops of the Elf Kingdom. Players from various countries watched with bated breath. Meanwhile, the leadership of Dragon Slayer wasn¡¯t idle. Hesitant and observing all along, Dragon Slayer finally had a target¨Ckeep and capture this Banshee Hero! For players with ordinary talents, there were only two ways to stand out: one, strive to complete extremely difficult tasks and gain new abilities; two, hire a top-notch vice hero. The first route was clearly unrealistic, making the second route relatively reliable. For Dragon Slayer, which was weak in the Hell Race, a top-notch vice hero was as valuable as the hero legacy sold by Da Fei. And what of Deirdre¡¯s initial attributes and professional skills? More than just top-class! Her allure was such that the entire Indian Zone was captivated, naturally deserving the title of a nation-toppling beauty, and Dragon Slayer couldn¡¯t sit by while a national hero was whisked away by foreigners. Thus, two tasks were vital: one, stab Asan in the back who was contending with them; two, take down Star. But neither of these tasks would be easy, especially backstabbing, which would result in being marked as a killer who couldn¡¯t take a step without being penalized. So, Ma Yinglong personally reached out to the soaring in fame Blood Sea Wave. Yet, they waited and waited, seconds ticked by, and there was still no reply from the other side. Ma Yinglong was so impatient he felt his veins bulging! Getting cocky, huh? Fame has gone to your head? The other day, who was the first to form an alliance and give a boost when you established the Blood Sea Studio? I¡¯m from the Dark Alliance; I¡¯m not afraid of getting a penalty for killing you and can gain experience and merit, believe it or not, I¡¯ll ruin you! As he was gritting his teeth, Blood Sea Wave finally replied, ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Chairman Ma. Sorry, my messages blew up, and I missed it.¡± Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, ¡°This is what it means to be a public figure, but I¡¯m not here to congratulate you. I¡¯m here to discuss business. What¡¯s your next move?¡± Blood Sea Wave chuckled, ¡°Of course, to keep beheading and become first on the National War Merit List! I¡¯m just in it for the name, so rest assured, Chairman Ma, I¡¯m only targeting foreigners. Once I succeed, I¡¯ll retire, and I won¡¯t interfere in the matters between your large guilds.¡± Looks like Star had been in touch with him, right? Ma Yinglong chuckled, ¡°Man, only in hard times can you find true friends. Everyone will chip in when things are going well. But life has its ups and downs, and it¡¯s better to make genuine friends. Honestly, I¡¯m down on my luck, and I want to ask an old friend for help!¡± Bullshit down on your luck! If I wasn¡¯t a God-level Hero, would you guys even bother with Brother Bird? Blood Sea Wave was getting fired up, yet didn¡¯t expect Ma Yinglong to suddenly claim he was down on his luck, making him curious, ¡°How did Chairman Ma fall on hard times?¡± Ma Yinglong laughed, ¡°Think about it, this watermelon national war puts us out on this limb, and accidentally you get called a traitor, then those opportunists stab you from behind to finish you off, that¡¯s being down on your luck. But doing nothing, and letting domestic peers take all the limelight, losing popularity, that¡¯s still being down on your luck.¡± Blood Sea Wave chuckled, ¡°Chairman Ma¡¯s undead roots still exist, what is there to worry about? Just say if you need any help.¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled, ¡°I want you to help me attack the Indian Zone! Don¡¯t worry. Our people will be right in the middle of the Indian Zone to take hits for you! With your super strong performance today, you can definitely wreak havoc! It wouldn¡¯t be impossible for you to single-handedly wipe out the entire Indian Zone. At that time, we¡¯ll publicize you as ¡®one against a nation,¡¯ make headlines on various websites and forums, and guarantee your fame will skyrocket. This is an audience of tens of thousands! Even the U.S. President doesn¡¯t get to be this excited. And later on, if your studio has competitors like Star or Ninth Heaven that you don¡¯t get along with and find it inconvenient to deal with, Dragon Slayer can step in and help you out, guaranteed to make you big and strong.¡± Blood Sea Wave laughed heartily, ¡°In the entire China Region, only Chairman Ma dares to say something like this.¡± Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, ¡°To tell you the truth, a guild like Star Guild just stifles everything under it. You want to be peers and not feel oppressed when you¡¯re in the same camp with them? It¡¯s difficult. It¡¯s better to cooperate with us in the enemy camp. It comes more straightforwardly and pleasantly!¡± Blood Sea Wave laughed, ¡°Chairman Ma is indeed straightforward. Alright, I¡¯ll definitely help with this!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed, ¡°This friend is truly worth making! I¡¯ll let Lei Huolong connect with you for specific tactics and share a map view.¡± ¡°Haha! Truly, Chairman Ma¡­¡± As they spoke, the spell-casting in the Magic Race camp¡¯s lava lake finally bore fruit. Thousands of serpent-like creatures emerged in the lake. ¡°Fire Elements!¡± An uproar ensued among the onlooking players from various countries! ¨CFire Element: Neutral level 4 troop, Attack 10, Defense 5, Life 43, Damage 11-20, Attack Speed 8, Move Speed 6, Command Value 3, Special Skill: Ranged Archer, Fire Immunity, Elemental Life, Flame Shield Fire Elements were often the summons of Master-level Arcane Magic, known for their high life and high damage, hailed as the strongest level 4 ranged troop, even surpassing many level 5 troops. Their comprehensive attributes crushed the Elf Clan¡¯s pride of the low-health level 3 troop Jungle Hunter, with the only downside being a slower attack rate. In reality, the four major elemental life forms¨Cwind, fire, water, and earth¨Cwere all level 4 troops that players found particularly challenging. Fire Elements boasted formidable range, protected by a fire shield, resilient to melee combat. Water Elements wielded advanced Ice Pillar Magic and, if not so rare, would certainly be contenders with the Druid for the title of God-level Monster. Earth Elements were incredibly durable, high-attack, high-life, all-defense anti-magic melee nemeses, while Wind Elements were the game¡¯s fastest flying army. Now, these thousands of Fire Elements slithered out of the lava, joining player ranks lacking in command power. Players across various countries burst into cheers! However, the Japan Zone, wanting to conserve strength, had few Abyss Lords fall, leading to fewer Fire Elements being received. Similarly, in the China Region, players were left feeling deflated, as they hadn¡¯t participated and thus acquired fewer troops. Now, Siriel, having completed the spell, returned to shore. The flames dimmed, revealing a layer of charred black and red on him, indicating his strength had significantly waned. He spoke wearily, ¡°Warriors, this is your last chance. You are only allowed victory, not failure!¡± The players from various countries were invigorated, ¡°No failure! Absolutely no failure.¡± Clatter! Another workshop gate opened, launching a brand-new giant oar warship into the water. The battleship was clearly much taller than normal battleships, with added shields resembling those on coal barges along its sides, making it more effective against arrow rain. Needless to say, this rough-and-ready item was undoubtedly prepared for the female hero. Lei Huolong immediately sent someone on board, approaching this ship, and the Indian Zone players were first to act, colliding at sea to fight for position. As expected, Siriel said to Deirdre, ¡°This is the modified battleship for you, with cannon mounts in four directions. Although your skill can control only one cannon, you can switch mounts at any time, shooting in all directions, saving the time spent rotating the crossbow cannon for aiming. Delib could do it; I hope you can too.¡± Deirdre quickly said, ¡°Thank you, Mentor!¡± Siriel waved, ¡°Get ready for the expedition!¡± ¡­ Elf Kingdom Staff Department. A group of NPC officers with keen eyes and tense expressions fixed their gaze on the large map. Eternal Star, this idle big shot, was very displeased. The previous total attack had been in vain, and the Elf Kingdom still had no plans to deploy NPC troops. What about all these spider demons? What if the spider demons finished their tasks and turned on the players? In the midst of this dilemma, an officer excitedly said, ¡°Great Elder, we have detected magic information sent back by Professor Anwen!¡± The Great Elder laughed heartily, ¡°Our hero is still alive; he is still alive!¡± Thunderous applause resounded in the hall! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Professor Anwen? So this super hero was an NPC named Anwen! Eternal Star was finally relieved! If a player were this strong, he¡¯d surely lose his appetite. So he seized the opportunity to suggest, ¡°Great Elder, should we deploy the main force?¡± The Great Elder laughed heartily, ¡°Everyone, what do you think?¡± All the officers raised their hands, ¡°Attack!¡± Pool of Radiance, the final battle began!

Chapter 155 - Chapter 155 Chapter 150 Harvest of Storm Baptism Chapter 155: Chapter 150 Harvest of Storm Baptism Chapter 155: Chapter 150 Harvest of Storm Baptism Abyss Blood Pool. In the throes of a life-and-death struggle with the storm, guided by Da Fei, the Flying battled fiercely. Though Catherine skillfully navigated the ship, dodging one devastating wave after another with agility, and the resurrected Flying continuously restored its durability, any margin for error was nil in the face of these monstrous waves. The situation remained dire. Another colossal wave hurled the Flying skyward, and Da Fei clung tightly to the mast once more. Boom! The Flying crashed heavily into the trough of a wave! ¡ª System Prompt: You battled against the storm, gaining 10,800 experience points! ¡ª System Prompt: The Flying¡¯s port side deck suffered a severe fracture, durability -241! Please repair immediately! ¡ª System Prompt: 3 members of your Jungle Hunter Unit have died! ¡ª System Prompt: 18 members of your Flower Demon Army have died! Da Fei was suddenly startled, beginning to lose soldiers! With such violent jolts, it was not surprising for soldiers inside to die without any safety measures! My HP is not full right now! Da Fei hurried to check the army¡¯s status, only to find that Selvia and the Forest Goddess, as well as the Druids, were out of mana! Previously, there had been no deaths because they were holding on, but now, it¡¯s clearly unsustainable! The recent impacts have left the units with incomplete health! (Note: Druids have advanced Life Revival, but the opportunity to use this skill was overshadowed by the flash of lightning.) Another giant wave approached! ¡ª System Prompt: 1 member of your Druid Army has died! ¡ª System Prompt: 9 members of your Jungle Hunter Unit have died! ¡ª System Prompt: 82 members of your Flower Demon Army have died! Indeed, the shockingly rising casualty numbers shattered Da Fei¡¯s heart. The more soldiers died, the more severely injured the rest became; total annihilation was not out of the question after a few more bumps! When would this storm end? With such violent shaking, how could Selvia safely recover her mana? If this continued and the night passed, even God could not resurrect them! The wind howled, waves churned, the ship trembled violently, but Da Fei gritted his teeth in defiance of the heavens! Without healing, in less than five minutes, 600 Flower Demons had died! 50 Jungle Hunters! Even the Forest Goddess could not save 5 from dying! More than half of the troops were lost! Total annihilation loomed! Tears welled in Da Fei¡¯s eyes, and his heart bled! As a warrior, dying on the battlefield was honorable, and if the ship sunk, he would die without complaints. But the ship grew increasingly steadfast while soldiers died from bumps and bruises; what was this? Alright, this was the cost of battling the heavens; they died gloriously! As long as my gunners were alive, I could still complete the mission! The Flying¡¯s vision suddenly narrowed. ¡ª System Prompt: Your stamina dropped below the warning line, please replenish stamina, or the Crow¡¯s Nest function cannot operate properly! Da Fei immediately swallowed a bottle of fruit wine! Heaven was not easily defied! Just then, ¡ª System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia used the Great Resurrection Technique, resurrecting 118 members of the Flower Demon Army! Resurrected Flower Demon Army are in a weakened state. Da Fei¡¯s spirit lifted with sudden joy! Good! Resurrection is good! Truly worthy of being my sweetheart, keep it up! Immediately putting the fully healed soldiers in the dorms and letting the weakened Flower Demons take over! Suddenly, Da Fei paused in confusion! Something wasn¡¯t right! He had witnessed her Resurrection Technique before while fighting insects, but how come only a few were resurrected now? The formula for Master Level Resurrection Technique = 100 + 30 x Magic Power. Selvia had 10 Magic Power, plus the priest¡¯s robe providing +5 Magic Power, totaling 550 health points resurrected; with the Flower Demons having 2 base health points, it should resurrect 275 of them! Considering her nun class boosts by 25% and the Sea Hymn enhances by 30% from Light Magic, it should not just resurrect this little amount! Why was this happening? Could it be that the Demon Realm suppressed Light Energy? Or was the ship rocking too violently for Selvia to perform well? Da Fei sighed deeply and shook his head, being able to resurrect was already good enough; what more could he do? Just hold the fort then. . . . The storm raged on, sailors cried out; the Flying grew, and Da Fei¡¯s battle experience kept increasing. A few minutes later, aside from the weakened soldiers in dorms, the rest of the units predictably faced total annihilation! Knowing this now, why bother replacing soldiers in dorms in the first place? Da Fei let out a long sigh to the sky! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia used the Master Level Great Resurrection Technique, resurrecting 118 members of the Flower Demon Army! Resurrected Flower Demon Army are in a weakened state. ¡ª System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia gained information on Master-level Meditation Skill. ¡ª System Prompt: The Flying absorbed essence from the Blood Sea Storm, durability +37. Da Fei was suddenly astonished! Another Resurrection Technique? How much time had passed? Gained information on Master-level Meditation Skill? Executing one Master-level Resurrection Technique required 100 mana; did she regenerate 100 mana in those few minutes? Why so fast? This rapid recovery was indeed likely due to Master-level Meditation Skill!? Seeing the Blood Sea Storm Essence in the system prompts, Da Fei suddenly recalled the description of Blood Revival when the Flying was resurrected; this storm was indeed Divine Power Storm! Da Fei realized! There must be a problem with this storm! Selvia¡¯s standard could not be reached because of its suppression, and rapid mana recovery must also be due to it! The reason? In the Demon Realm, mana was abundant, and the Demon Realm¡¯s wind was certainly brimming with mana! That meant, just as Selvia experienced Grandmaster-level realizations and Da Fei gained God-level Reconnaissance Skill, she first achieved Grandmaster-level effects, discovered the sense of Grandmaster-level, then realized it! It was similar to how Catherine just realized Master-level Navigation Skill! Understanding it all, Da Fei burst out laughing! So that¡¯s it! Good storm, indeed a good storm! As long as Selvia advanced Master-level Meditation Skill and learned the old woman¡¯s Divine Skill of Magic Coordination, even if the entire ship¡¯s soldiers perished, even if I failed this mission, it would all be worth it! Still, the storm raged, yet in Da Fei¡¯s heart, it became the most beautiful rock music, the most explosive dance, the most vibrant lights! Come on! Let the storm hit harder, let my dear continue providing updates! Here was the stage for my rebellion against the heavens! Ha! Wahaha! . . . The bloody rain ceased, the fierce wind abated, the dense clouds dispersed. Amid the cycle of continual death and resurrection, the blood sea storm finally ended. A deep red blood moon illuminated the sky, casting a faint bloody mist over the blood sea. The divine sound of the long-awaited system prompts rolled out excitedly for Da Fei! ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! You endured the test of the God-level Storm and realized Advanced Navigator! ¡ª Advanced Navigator: The hero ship¡¯s speed increases by an additional 30% at sea, stacking with Sailing Skills. Every 3 levels, the hero earns an additional free attribute point for a secondary profession. The hero, as well as the hero¡¯s Vice Hero, gains 300 experience points daily at sea. ¡ª System Prompt: You gained 3 free attribute points from the Advanced Navigator profession bonus. (Note: Da Fei at level 30 should have gained 10 points, with 7 points already allocated at intermediate, now compensated with 3 points.) ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Selvia realized Master-level Meditation Skill! ¡ª System Prompt: Your First Officer Catherine obtained information on God-level Navigation Skill. ¡ª System Prompt: Your First Officer Catherine obtained information on Master-level Pirate. ¡ª System Prompt: Your Flying upgraded to level 1! Obtained special skill ¡°Ship of Misfortune¡±! Comprehended! Selvia truly realized Master-level Meditation Skill! Gifting me an Advanced Navigator! Gifting Catherine two pieces of basic information! Ha! Wahaha! Thank you, heavens! Of course, now Selvia was busy, needing to resurrect the troops, not busy celebrating with her. I¡¯d first check what¡¯s up with the level 1 Ship of Misfortune Flying!

Chapter 156 - Chapter 156 Chapter 151 Kindergarten Here I Come Chapter 156: Chapter 151: Kindergarten, Here I Come! Chapter 156: Chapter 151: Kindergarten, Here I Come! At this moment, the Flying was covered in a faint layer of blood, and the moss that had covered the ship before setting out was washed away in the wind and rain. Da Fei quickly snapped out of his astonishment from the Misfortune Skill, thinking, ¡°Great, if things go bad, we all go down together.¡± Indeed, this skill developed in the Demon Kindergarten bears a demonic trait: misfortune. With only level 1, there are already two skills. What would this ship become after several more levels? Looking at the durability restored to 2300 and the increased defense, Da Fei felt immense satisfaction and anticipation. Just then, Catherine flung open the cockpit door, jumped out, and excitedly waved at Da Fei, cheering, ¡°I acquired God-level information! I acquired God-level information, huh? Wahahaha!¡± Now is the time to embrace; why wait? Da Fei immediately jumped down from the observatory and hugged her tightly, ¡°My dear! I love you to death, wahahaha!¡± Catherine coyly exclaimed, ¡°Captain, you¡¯re so naughty!¡± ¡°Come, come, let¡¯s celebrate with a kiss! Mwah, mwah, mwah, mwah!¡± ¡°Oh no, stop it!¡± Now that she¡¯s in my arms, let her squirm more, so I can sniff her and caress her more! Wahahaha! In life, I¡¯ve got beauty and a magnificent ship! Da Fei, excited, said, ¡°Sweetheart, look, our ship has come alive! When we get out, we¡¯ll earn big money and renovate this ship into a sea palace!¡± Catherine giggled, ¡°Captain, this ship is not ordinary anymore. It¡¯s said that the Pirate King¡¯s ship is washed daily with shark blood for maintenance, but our ship is stained with a layer of Demon Blood, and its future growth is limitless!¡± ¡°Miss Catherine is right!¡± The old lady cheerfully laughed as she came to the deck, ¡°Captain, you¡¯ve truly created a miracle! If I¡¯m not mistaken, the storm earlier must be the Demon Race¡¯s Demon God Baptism ceremony held once every hundred years. Clearly, we are the beneficiaries of this ceremony.¡± God-level Storm, indeed! Da Fei excitedly said, ¡°Lady Anwen, did Selvia just comprehend the Master-level Meditation Skill because of this storm?¡± Anwen sighed with a smile, ¡°Exactly, this storm contains immense energy that greatly accelerates a hero¡¯s mana recovery speed, while severely damaging the life of casting creatures. If I were not preserving my remaining strength to complete a mission, I¡¯d have risked everything to challenge the God-level Meditation Technique. Anyway, I¡¯m gratified that the skill I created now has successors!¡± Hehe, that¡¯s what I¡¯ve been waiting to hear from you! Da Fei said happily, ¡°Thank you, Lady Anwen, for imparting your knowledge!¡± Anwen knocked on the ship¡¯s faint red wooden plank and chuckled, ¡°All things possess spirit, and wood is the most spiritual, the most compatible entity, whether it¡¯s divine statues or demon statues, totems, or magic wands. Wood is the most universal carrier and always our Druids¡¯ lifelong subject of research. Thus, if the captain is interested in returning to the Pool of Radiance to complete the purification task, he can still absorb life energy, revitalize the ship¡¯s withered wood, and further enhance the ship¡¯s performance.¡± Da Fei was suddenly shocked, ¡°Isn¡¯t it said that light and dark gods and demons oppose each other? Can we still return to the Pool of Radiance?¡± Anwen chuckled, ¡°I just mentioned that wood¡¯s compatibility is the strongest! Moreover, this ship has received Divine¡¯s Blessing, successfully integrating divinity and demon nature. Take ancient trees as an example, whether an ancient tree is demonized or purified, the ultimate result is a significantly enhanced strength of the ancient tree itself. The captain, being a practical human, only needs to focus on enhancing the ship¡¯s performance, correct?¡± Da Fei nodded with delight, ¡°Exactly! I don¡¯t care if it¡¯s a Divine Ship, a Demon Ship, or a Divine Demon Fusion Ship, as long as it performs well, that¡¯s a good ship!¡± Anwen laughed heartily, ¡°The captain is indeed pragmatic! Well then, upon completing this mission, I¡¯ll accompany the captain back to the Pool of Radiance!¡± Da Fei rejoiced, ¡°Thank you, lady!¡± Anwen laughed, ¡°No, I should thank you on behalf of the Kingdom! The Kingdom must have received news of our safety by now. In any case, let¡¯s seize the moment to recover. I believe the captain can surely excel here.¡± Wahahaha! Yes, it¡¯s time for the overlord to trample. But where is the kindergarten in this vast Blood Sea? No worries, I¡¯ll find you all! At this moment, ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia used Master-level Great Resurrection Technique, and 426 Flower Demon Army members resurrected! The resurrected Flower Demon Army is in a weakened state. 426! Indeed! This is Selvia¡¯s normal resurrection standard! In a hurry, Da Fei went to the mess in the lower deck, where corpses littered, and wounded soldiers were everywhere. Selvia sat cross-legged on the ground, eyes closed in meditation, surrounded by a halo of colorful magic light particles that made her appear noble and mysterious. It¡¯s great to be a Mage. Without disturbing her, not knowing if she could hear, Da Fei pragmatically said, ¡°Resurrect the Flower Demon first, then the Forest Goddess, and then the Druid! If the Jungle Hunter troop can¡¯t make it, give up.¡± Selvia nodded with eyes closed, speaking excitedly, ¡°Understood! Captain, I¡¯ve reached the Grandmaster level too!¡± Ahem! Da Fei was amused and exasperated! Are you sure you¡¯re fully concentrated? In the end, she seems mature for her age, but she¡¯s just under 16. Taking the chance, Da Fei stroked her brilliant golden hair, laughing, ¡°Everyone praises you, work hard, Lady Anwen will teach you skills later!¡± ¡°Yeah, okay!¡± The Flying sailed swiftly through the bloody gale while Da Fei frantically searched for the so-called kindergarten, and Selvia hurriedly accumulated mana to resurrect the forces. At this moment, the immense Blood Moon in the sky started to wax and wane! Simultaneously, the whole Blood Sea roared. What is this? Anwen suddenly realized, ¡°Have you noticed? The sea level seems to be dropping?¡± Da Fei nodded! Indeed, the current Z-axis coordinate shifted from 0 to a negative number! -0.065! -0.116! -0.176! Such a rapid decrease in coordinates indicates a fast-dropping sea level, though it wasn¡¯t easy to discern due to the endless sea without reference points! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia used Master-level Great Resurrection Technique on the deceased Jungle Hunter unit. The skill failed, and they could not be resurrected! The skill failed! This waxing and waning of the Blood Moon must signify nightfall. Da Fei checked the troop status, and sure enough, the numerous Jungle Hunters couldn¡¯t be resurrected. However, there¡¯s nothing to be done about it. They died honorably. A weary Selvia walked onto the deck, appearing forlorn, ¡°I¡¯m sorry!¡± Da Fei patted her head with endless affection, ¡°You¡¯ve done very well! Don¡¯t blame yourself!¡± Anwen also patted her head, laughing, ¡°If my granddaughter were as obedient and dedicated as you, that¡¯d be wonderful. I¡¯ve been waiting for you for a long time!¡± With that, she lifted a hand, and a beam of white light showered upon Selvia! But Da Fei was stunned. Her granddaughter? ¨CSystem Prompt: Anwen taught your Vice Hero Selvia the Master-level Meditation Skill sub-skill ¡°Magic Coordination¡±! ¨CMagic Coordination: The hero can bestow 1 point of Magic Power on the magic forces under their command; it can only be used once a day. Selvia burst into joyful tears, laughing, ¡°Thank you, Teacher Anwen!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Anwen burst into hearty laughter! Catherine exclaimed, ¡°Islands! So many islands!¡± Indeed, as the sea level dropped, countless islands emerged! Not far from the Flying, there were several blood-red islands, and on them stood a gigantic mountain of flesh with countless demon eggs underneath! Anwen laughed heartily, ¡°I see, this is the Demon Tide of the Abyss Blood Pool! There lies the Demon Nest of the Abyss Blood Pool. Captain, what are you waiting for?¡± Staring at the large cluster of red dots on the small map, Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Kindergarten, here I come!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 157 - Chapter 157 Chapter 152 The Farce of Internal Conflict Chapter 157: Chapter 152: The Farce of Internal Conflict Chapter 157: Chapter 152: The Farce of Internal Conflict The Pool of Radiance, the final battle of the national war began! At the top of the World Tree, countless level 0 soldier bees hummed down with a sound that shook the earth, engaging in a deadly fight with the Spider Demon Army entrenched at the ground peak. Numerous soldier bees struggled and died in the webs, while a large number of Spider Demons were shot down into the lake of the Pool of Radiance, turning into mist. In reality, soldier bees were neutral creatures, just like the sap-sucking beetles Da Fei initially encountered, and strictly speaking, they couldn¡¯t even be considered troops because they lacked intelligence. Creatures without intelligence, like the Crossbow Tower, could not be led by heroes. The Elf Kingdom also couldn¡¯t cultivate soldier bees en masse like Flower Demons. So, the soldier bees in this final battle were the Elf Kingdom¡¯s old stock accumulated over many years. Level 0 soldiers were a very special existence; they were an unbeatable trump card when used well, but mere cannon fodder when not. The soldier bees might not necessarily be a match for the Spider Demons, but other than the soldier bees, the Elf Kingdom had no effective means to counter such creatures capable of climbing walls and roofs. The battle among NPC creatures at the ground peak was in full swing, and the fight on the water surface of the Pool of Radiance was also fiery, with flames shooting up into the sky. Entertainment media from around the world focused on this final battle. This was the first national war since the game opened, and also the first extremely tricky one, as one side was a plains overlord, and the other a jungle overlord, yet they started the duel in the unfamiliar domain of naval warfare. For countries aspiring to achieve something on the water, this battle was also an incredibly important training material. For example, club teams from the US, UK, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands closely monitored the battlefield, with the United States observing at least 100 areas of the battleground. Now, the Hellish Alliance Army had the powerful enlistment of neutral level 4 ranged Fire Element soldiers, fully suppressing the Elf Clan¡¯s proud level 2 and 3 ranged soldiers, with a clear advantage! The strategy of Star was to use the entire country¡¯s strength to exhaust the opposition; even if their troop types were suppressed, they were determined to fight to the end, knowing that the Fire Element¡¯s attack speed was its biggest shortfall, not entirely without a fighting chance. For a time, the World Channel was flooded with slogans like ¡°Hot-Blooded!¡±, ¡°Rise Up!¡±, ¡°Fight to the End.¡± At the very rear of the Hell Battlefield, a giant paddle ship, with its bulwark significantly higher than other ships, was surrounded so tightly by the ships of Indian and Chinese players that it couldn¡¯t move. That¡¯s right, this was called card positioning! As long as the female hero was kept at the rear and couldn¡¯t get to the battlefield, her safety wasn¡¯t a concern. As for the frontline battle, there was no need to worry; with the level 4 Fire Element¡¯s ranged attack and the level 6 Abyss Lord¡¯s artillery and melee, if they still couldn¡¯t win, then Japan could just blame themselves. At this time, the idly card-positioned Chinese and Indian players stared blankly at each other. Lei Huolong checked the time and decided to put on a show, provoking the Indian player Aamirhan, who had been staring at him: ¡°I heard your Bollywood music and dance conquered the world? I don¡¯t believe it!¡± Then, with a clap of his hands, several Chinese players jumped out and did a street dance. India, in any domain, loved to compete with China, so dealing with Asan was straightforward and invariably worked. Sure enough, a chorus of boos erupted from the Indian players! Aamirhan sneered, ¡°You Chinese don¡¯t even have your own dance! What else do you know besides jumping Korean dances? We¡¯ll show you that the truly national is global!¡± With a clap of his hands, a group of India jumped into action! ¡°MUSIC!¡± the game¡¯s built-in sound effects kicked in: ¡°¨CSo cold~~~ah, ah, ah, ah! The northeastern winter, northeastern winter da-da-da! I went to the northeast to play with mud!¡± The Chinese players exclaimed in shock, jaws dropped! It turned out that right from the start, they unleashed the infinitely compatible Indian hit song ¡°Playing with Mud in the Northeast!¡± What a brutal presence these Three Swordsmen were! (note: ¡°Tunak Tunak Tun¡±) With the music playing, other Three Swordsmen from various ships also began dancing in sync, re-enacting the classic Bollywood group song and dance! The Chinese players were utterly speechless, stunned into silence! Some things you just had to acknowledge. Lei Huolong sighed deeply in shame, checked the time again, and spotted a giant paddle ship slowly approaching not far away. With a smirk in his heart, he thought, ¡°Almost time, I will tell you, singing and dancing can conquer my heart, but cannot conquer the world!¡± Just as the Indian players were dancing happily, there was a splash from the cluster of ships, and three colossal figures leapt onto the stage of the warship like sea dragons! All the Three Swordsmen turned their heads in astonishment. A flash of knives: ¡°We are the Rocket Team sailing through the sea!¡± ¨CBattlefield report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave killed India Zone player Bahadur, Bahadur¡¯s troops were defeated! Another flash of blades: ¡°We are the most charming villains in history!¡± ¨CBattlefield report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave killed India Zone player Sanjay, Sanjay¡¯s troops were defeated! Blades flashing: ¡°The white tomorrow awaits us!¡± ¨CBattlefield report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave killed India Zone player Aamirhan, Aamirhan¡¯s troops were defeated! ¡°Battle! Depart!¡± With another splash, amidst the booming music, before anyone could react, the Three Swordsmen who had swiftly completed their kills jumped back into the water! ¡°Wow!!!¡± The entire audience roared! And those three lines of information appearing on the battlefield channel caused a sensation across the entire battlefield and the global media watching the battlefield! How did this God-level hero from the China Region manage to simultaneously assassinate three players? Even though the truth might seem ridiculous after knowing it later, at the moment it was undoubtedly an astonishing feat! Meanwhile, the outer China Region players and those mixed within the inner circle immediately started maneuvering their boats to ram and jostle the Indian Zone warships, and three Indian Zone warships were eliminated, losing control, finally, the previously tight formation was torn apart by Chinese players, causing the ships on both sides to mix and jolt violently, becoming unstable. The conspiracy of the Chinese players was blatantly obvious! ¡°Despicable Chinese!¡± the Indian players cursed angrily! ¡°Release the female hero, we¡¯re still friendly neighbors!¡± Lei Huolong responded coldly to the insults! ¡°Don¡¯t even think about it!¡± ¡°Then go die!¡± With another splash, the Three Swordsmen emerged on the ship for the second time! For a pirate, the shaking of the ship was nothing compared to the storms at sea. So even when land troops of the same attributes met pirates at sea, they couldn¡¯t win, there was no way! ¨CBattlefield report: China Region player Blood Sea Wave killed India Zone player Tripa, Tripa¡¯s troops were defeated! In the chaos, the decapitation began! Under the cover and distraction of Dragon Slayer, Blood Sea Wave jumped and darted, constantly decapitating players from the Indian Zone. The entire battlefield was once again ignited with passion by Blood Sea Wave! With a God-level Sea Battle Hero present, what was there to fear? Now, the global focus was on this farce at the rear. The command centers of the Hellish Alliance Army countries, of course, knew what was going on, knowing from the start that the national war, involving the Chinese, was bound to be a farce! This farce had been performing since Ancient Tree Space, and they shouldn¡¯t have come at all! But through sheer confusion, come they did, so saying ¡°Shit¡± was pointless! Now, they could only take advantage of the current advantage to decisively capture the China Region¡¯s Elf Clan. The Indian command center was so angry they smashed tables and chairs, with Nehru even throwing his phone that couldn¡¯t reach Ma Yinglong, directly to the floor! Now, the Indian Zone had no choice but to make a painful decision to abandon the protection of the female hero. Immediately, various ships withdrew, but how could Dragon Slayer let them escape? More and more Chinese Region players surrounded them tightly¨Cindeed! Dragon Slayer promised to achieve the heroic feat of Blood Sea Wave taking on a nation! Now, the Indian Zone could bear it no more and had no choice but to actively PK the China Region! Internal strife began! The world was in uproar! Although everyone knew this was a farce, no one expected it to escalate to this degree! ¡°Slay the red names!!!¡± all Hell Zone players of the China Region seemed pumped full of adrenaline, with Abyss Fireballs flying everywhere! For a moment, the most thrilling and hilarious battle for the Chinese was playing out at the very back of the battlefield! Compared to this farce, Star¡¯s pessimistic tragedy was utterly weak! Indeed, Ma Yinglong always managed to play a good hand with a bad deck, which was why he continued to lead Dragon Slayer as one of China¡¯s three major guilds, standing tall and unshakeable! While laughter filled the Dragon Slayer command headquarters¨Ca deep cannon sound rang out! In the water, a white light shot into the sky. ¨CBattlefield report: Hell Camp NPC Hero Deirdre killed China Region player Blood Sea Wave! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The entire battlefield channel fell silent! This line of information remained before the world¡¯s players for several seconds, then was instantly drowned out by countless scrolling messages! That God-level hero just died like that? It was simply unbearable. The Dragon Slayer Guild had a bitter yet amused reaction. There was nothing they could do; they could plot at the player level, but they couldn¡¯t control NPCs! It was a pity that once the hero fell, the dozens of pirate soldiers he brought were done for. At this very moment, Deirdre¡¯s warship moved, the recent PK melee had created a gap in the blockade around her. As an NPC who had accepted a mission, she decisively joined the battle! This stunned both Lei Huolong and Ma Yinglong, leaving them with jaws dropped to the floor! ¡°Follow! Follow!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 158 - Chapter 158 Chapter 153 Discovering the Spider Demon Worm Nest Chapter 158: Chapter 153: Discovering the Spider Demon Worm Nest Chapter 158: Chapter 153: Discovering the Spider Demon Worm Nest Abyss Blood Pool. In the sky hung a massive waning moon, and after the tide receded, the Abyss Blood Pool revealed countless islands of various sizes. On each island was a pulsating mass of flesh like a giant heart. At this time, the Flying stopped by the water¡¯s edge and fiercely bombarded a nearby island¡¯s flesh mass. With a piercing scream, the giant flesh nest fell with a crash. ¨CSystem Prompt: You destroyed a Demon Nest and gained 50,000 experience points! You gained 100 reputation points! ¨CTask Hint: Current progress for the ¡°Attack Abyss Blood Pool¡± mission: Destroyed Nest count 1/100. Da Fei laughed heartily! Simple, it was just too simple! Easier than destroying the insect nests in the Pool of Radiance, it was clearly a way to gift experience! Although now the special environment prevented leveling up, all the experience was stored, and once he exited, leveling up by two or three levels was a given. Anwen laughed, ¡°This operation, which the Kingdom has defined as an ¡®impossible level¡¯ task, has a basic goal of destroying 100 Demon Nests. The Kingdom believes that as long as 100 Nests are destroyed, it will greatly affect the Demons¡¯ troop supply and justify the cost of this operation. However, if the Captain overachieves, there will certainly be more rewards.¡± Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°I love overachieving tasks the most!¡± Anwen nodded, ¡°But the Captain must not be careless, as the Demons will not allow us to destroy so recklessly. There will definitely be countermeasures. In short, it¡¯s best to finish the mission and retreat wisely.¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Got it, got it!¡± In contrast to Da Fei¡¯s successful assault, the battle at the Pool of Radiance in the China Region was a bitter struggle, or rather, a defeat. Defeat was inevitable, right? The Hell Camp had Commander Siriel, who didn¡¯t hesitate to expend his strength to summon level 6 and level 4 troops. Meanwhile, the Elf Kingdom still relied on players carrying level 2 and 3 rations troops. How could they win? Not to mention the oppressive presence of NPC Deirdre¡¯s warship aiding them, which was not even comparable to the leaf boats. And the battle between the Spider Demon and Soldier Bees above ground was almost over, with both sides suffering heavy casualties and unlikely to exert dominant control again. In any case, despite the fervent spamming in the World Channel, the defeat of the China Region was a foregone conclusion. At this moment, the area around Lake Island shook violently again, as the underwater roots of the World Tree grasped large rocks, rose above the water, and formed a large circle of fencing. ¨CBattle Report: World Tree activated defense walls! Warriors of the Elf Kingdom, please rely on the walls for defense. Instantly, there was widespread anger among the players in the China Region! Reinforcing with something useless, like Little Honey, instead of something powerful, they reinforced walls! But there was no choice; the situation was stronger than the players. The leaf boat fleet in the China Region hurriedly retreated into the wind shelter formed by the wall, with the tree root doors of the encircling wall creaking shut. ¨CBattle Report: Elf Camp retreated, overall morale -2, Hell Camp won, overall morale +1! Oh yes! The Hell fleets of various countries cheered enthusiastically before the walls, except for the China Region and Indian Zone. However, the World Channel in the China Region remained full of fighting spirit with continuous encouragement for Star. At this moment, how could the Eternal Star in the Elf Kingdom General Staff Department hold it together? Eternal Star hurriedly proposed to the Great Elder amidst the crowd, ¡°Elder, the Hell Race¡¯s troops have suppressed us. We must also have Advanced troops! Otherwise, we can¡¯t fight!¡± The Great Elder was watching a new map marked in red with other officers and seemed indifferent to the battle at the Pool of Radiance. Damn it! Soldiers work hard, and you can¡¯t even pay attention! Eternal Star urgently called out, ¡°Great Elder!¡± The Great Elder finally came to his senses and nodded, ¡°You make a good point. We also need to dispatch strong troops that can compete.¡± ¨CBattle Report: Elf Camp is offering reinforcement from level 4 Druid units. Warriors participating in the national war can exchange Merit Points for Druids. The exchanged troops will be retained after the battle. The China Region channel erupted in excitement! Offering level 4 Druid units! Capable of ranged attacks, summoning lightning, healing, and having high defense and health¨Cthe most elite level 4 troops, feared and desired by players as the most cost-effective God-level standard troops! And precisely because Druids are the strongest level 4 troops, they are also the hardest to obtain, even more difficult than obtaining Vampires, requiring players to repeatedly perform tedious tasks. Naturally, the Elf Clan produces fewer troops, and Druids are even rarer, so it¡¯s only normal that they¡¯re hard to get. At this moment, a green light from the Underground Sky shone on the center of Lake Island, as an NPC Druid armament officer floated down, calling out, ¡°Warriors, please come to me to exchange for the most elite troops of the Elf Clan!¡± The entire island cheered, crowding around, and then erupted in curses. Needless to say, it was very expensive! But for a large guild like Star, the concern wasn¡¯t about the cost, it was about availability! Star was always worried that if the Hell Race could bring level 6 troops back, it would be disastrous! Now it seemed both sides were in the same boat. In terms of magic damage, Abyss Lord was not as effective as Druids, with Abyss Lord typically being powerful melee troops, nowhere near as versatile as Druids. If Star could seize the opportunity to amass a large stockpile of Druids, which were hard to obtain in the current stage, the benefits would be unimaginable. So Eternal Star immediately instructed that all guild members exchange for as many as possible, then consolidate the exchanged Druids to equip the main force members first. ¡­ At this time, the Hell Race players who had leveled the playing field returned triumphantly to their camp to supplement the corrupt soil and restore Mana. Now, if the opponents were passive in their defense, the Hell Race could calmly pollute the Pool of Radiance. Deirdre¡¯s first battle was without pressure, and she returned triumphantly, flanked by three layers of Dragon Slayer players, full of enthusiasm to report back to her mentor. At this moment, Siriel was drenched in soot, lacking his usual fiery demeanor and impressive presence. He said solemnly, ¡°There¡¯s bad news, the Abyss Blood Pool has been invaded by a Super Hero, who is slaughtering and destroying extensively!¡± Deirdre exclaimed, ¡°Mentor, didn¡¯t you say the Super Hero fell in the Blood Pool?¡± Likewise, Lei Huolong was also suddenly moved. Just how strong was this Da Fei? Siriel shook his head, ¡°No! The Super Hero¡¯s power far exceeds expectations! The Demon King is very angry now! Therefore, the Demon King will certainly demand that we fully assault the World Tree, which is our chance to establish great merit, and we must go all out and not fail; otherwise, the Demon King¡¯s wrath will descend upon us too. So, before the Demon King¡¯s full assault order is issued, I must also carry out comprehensive rest, return to the lava to restore strength for the final decisive battle, and you, continue to perform well. Once successful, you will gain untold wealth and power!¡± Deirdre nodded, though her eyes were dazed and flickering. ¡­ Abyss Blood Pool. The Flying continued sweeping along the wind direction, quickly destroying ten Demon Nests. It seemed completing the base mission target of 100 was too easy. And now, ahead of the Flying was a large island, where the middle of the Demon Nest was clearly out of the battleship¡¯s crossbow range, so only landing forces could clear it. However, with time being so tight, landing forces would take much time, so why find trouble for yourself? Just pass it by. After all, the mission requires quantity, not quality. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only As the Flying skimmed past the big island, Da Fei suddenly saw a dense swarm of Demon eggs wrapped in thick spider silk, distinct from the earlier Demon Nests. Spider silk meant it was the Spider Demon¡¯s magic eggs, right? This meant that the Blood Pool produced various kinds of Demons. Suddenly, Da Fei remembered the troublesome task in his backpack, ¡°Tree Elf Vengeful Spirit Heart¡± (Chapter 107), which seemed to require killing a Demon Nest, though the Vengeful Spirit specifically named the Spider Demon Nest as the target. Wasn¡¯t this the mission target? Should he kill it or not? Since he was here, he should kill it! Even if that ¡°ranger profession level cap +1¡± reward wasn¡¯t for him as a human to use, at least it was a hidden task discovered by chance using the God-level reconnaissance Special Crossbow Cannon, and completing it would set his mind at ease. At least the experience reward wouldn¡¯t be low, right? Anyway, given his current clearing speed, completing the main quest was no pressure. So, prepare for the landing battle. (Sorry everyone, I¡¯ve been busy preparing for a company inspection and I¡¯m exhausted. The official inspection is tomorrow, and I¡¯ll still have to work hard!)(To be continued.

Chapter 159 - Chapter 159 Chapter 154 The Troublesome Spider Demon Worm Nest Chapter 159: Chapter 154 The Troublesome Spider Demon Worm Nest Chapter 159: Chapter 154 The Troublesome Spider Demon Worm Nest The landing battle began. The sailors lowered the two landing crafts from the brackets, each capable of carrying twenty-five small units. Da Fei landed with Selvia and a whole team of fifty Druids. As for the over one thousand Flower Demons and Forest Goddesses, and the two Charming Emperors, they didn¡¯t need to board the ship, flying soldiers are indeed convenient. On the island, there were countless demon eggs wrapped in blood-red cocoon-like water-barrel-sized containers scattered everywhere. As Da Fei¡¯s troops approached, the baby spider-sized demons hatched immediately and attacked Da Fei¡¯s troops, who stomped on them with glee. Then came the assault on the demon nest in the center of the island, which was as tall as a few stories and constantly writhing like a black organ. Up close, it was quite intimidating. This demon nest should be considered a troop-building structure, right? Da Fei suddenly remembered that Anemone King structure he planted on the Undead Island back in the Newbie Village. It no longer appeared in his control panel. He assumed it just withered away. And structures generally had ridiculously high defense, so it was likely going to be hard to damage, right? But since they were here already, they might as well encircle it. With the 15 righteous power attack bonus, they launched a strong dismantling, and barely managed a -1 damage. What the hell! The game doesn¡¯t show fractional damage less than -1, so it took several hits to accumulate just -1! Indeed, the defense of this kind of building was astonishingly high, at least over three hundred points. Such a huge attack-defense difference meant Da Fei¡¯s troops only dealt 10% of normal damage! If it were a crossbow cannon, which usually had high damage, it wouldn¡¯t have been as affected, but for ordinary soldiers, it was just a pain! Of course, despite it being painful, the large number of troops meant it wasn¡¯t worth taking time to assemble a siege machine just for this. After all, assembling and dismantling machinery took twenty minutes, and conventional troops could end the battle in that time, right? Around six or seven minutes in, and the demon nest¡¯s health, which had who knows how many million hit points, was barely halfway down. Da Fei started to regret this time-consuming operation. The loss of the entire Jungle Hunter team in the storm was indeed such a heavy loss, greatly affecting the efficiency of clearing the field. But even if they had been there, they might not have been much faster. For a siege, heavy artillery troops or machinery were ultimately necessary. When the demon nest had one-third of its health left, it suddenly screamed and spewed dozens of giant spider eggs into Da Fei¡¯s Druid array. The eggs broke open upon landing, unleashing dozens of cow-sized giant spiders, and for a moment, poison fog and webs were everywhere, throwing Da Fei¡¯s Druid army into utter chaos! Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched in surprise! Elite monsters! Wasn¡¯t this just a kindergarten? How could there be such things! Selvia and the Forest Goddess¡¯s healing golden light immediately flashed, yet even so, when three elites ganged up on one Druid, it was instant death! Boom! A thunderstorm descended from the sky, and with the assault of over a thousand Flower Demons and the backup of the two Charming Emperors, the dozens of giant spiders were wiped out in an instant, leaving behind the corpses of more than ten Druids. Looking at the mess-strewn battlefield, Da Fei was left utterly deflated! Damn it, this was definitely too much of a time-waster, he regretted it! Once this was done, he wouldn¡¯t fight any more of these. A flash of golden light. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your subordinate hero Selvia used Master-level Great Resurrection Technique, reviving sixteen Druids! Revived Druids are in a weakened state. Ugh, already low on manpower from the dismantling, now they¡¯re weakened. In any case, finish this! Surely this demon nest wouldn¡¯t have any more tricks, right? Finally, a loud rumble signaled the collapse of the demon nest, as if a blood pool were caving in, blood gushing downward. Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief. This venture, what a loss. Huh? Wait a minute! There hasn¡¯t been any system prompt for so long! Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s not over yet! Da Fei worriedly took a step back and immediately had his troops retreat significantly. Just then, a sharp screech came from the collapsing meat mountain. Da Fei turned back in alarm to see a massive, truck-sized golden spider crawling out from the pile, accompanied by an endless tide of small spiders! BOSS!!! Ahhh! Da Fei spat a mouthful of blood! Why did other demon nests just quietly roll over and die, but this spider demon¡¯s nest had to be so overly complicated and infuriating? If it were just one solitary boss, he might not even flinch; he also had two Charming Emperors with one thousand health each! But what about all those little spiders? Could he take them on? Or should he lead them to the shore to be blasted by the ship¡¯s crossbow cannon? At that moment, the giant golden spider suddenly spat out a large glob of slime that landed in the middle of the Flower Demon group, exploding into a skyful of white liquid, which promptly turned into shimmering silver threads, ensnaring the entire thousand-plus Flower Demons to the ground! Da Fei¡¯s hair stood on end! Damn it, what kind of magic is this? So, he had to fight to the death? Otherwise, retreating might be determined by the system as a defeat, potentially causing the loss of these thousand Flower Demons! Just then, a blaze flashed before Da Fei¡¯s eyes, erupting with fire as a massive firebird soared forth! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your subordinate hero used Master-level Arcane ¡°Summon Phoenix!¡± A Phoenix joined the battlefield to aid you in combat. Anwen¡¯s voice rang out from the ship, ¡°Captain, fight! I¡¯m supporting you!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyes twitched in shock, summoning an eighth-level troop Phoenix! Only Master-level Arcanists could use this spell! It could only be used once a day, and the Phoenix¡¯s power grew with the hero¡¯s level! Mrs. Anwen, you are indeed grand and impressive! ¨CPhoenix: Neutral Elemental Life, eighth-level troop. Basic Attack 33, Basic Defense 33, Basic Killing: 30-50, Basic Life 800, Attack Speed 20, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Elemental Life, Flame Breath, Flame Shield. The Phoenix was the game¡¯s most special unit, seldom appearing as a wild troop. It commonly appeared as a summoning product of a Grandmaster-level Arcanist, its power linked to the summoner¡¯s level. Thus, it had a baseline for its attributes. A high-level Arcanist¡¯s summoned Phoenix would, of course, be overwhelmingly powerful, but its drawback was that if the Phoenix was destroyed, the Arcanist would lose all their Mana, making it impractical to summon a Phoenix lightly in large battles. So, is there a more reliable tank than a Phoenix, a self-sustaining fire-shielded elemental being? Although Mrs. Anwen was only level thirty, and the summoned Phoenix might be rather weak, even then, it¡¯s still an eighth-level troop with a thousand health, capable of boosting the defense to seventy or eighty points. As long as it held up for a few seconds, Da Fei¡¯s army could focus fire and obliterate the boss! Go! First, focus fire to kill the boss! The Phoenix charged the golden spider head-on, a blend of fire and poison fog bursting and intertwining! The Druid Army¡¯s Magic Bullets and the Forest Goddess Army¡¯s Flying Spears roared forth, followed closely by the Charming Emperors¡¯ Flame Bombs. In this first round of focused fire, Da Fei¡¯s army dealt over a thousand points of damage to the boss! Watching the long strings of red damage numbers pop up above the heads of both the golden spider and the Phoenix, and the endless string of ¡®Poison Immunity¡¯ popping up above the Phoenix, Da Fei¡¯s heart was in his throat! As a boss monster, it was clearly in a different league compared to his own bosses! Da Fei had to take back his earlier joke, saying, ¡°my two 1000-health Charming Emperors could still stand up to it!¡± Even against a player¡¯s army, a 1000-health Charming Emperor wasn¡¯t necessarily safe. At this point, the Phoenix¡¯s health was running low, while the swarm of small spiders had begun tearing into the Druid array! Hold on! They had to hold on! It was the Phoenix, this godlike elemental being, that was immune to all poisons, able to withstand the boss¡¯s poison mist. If the Phoenix fell, the consequences would be unimaginable! But under the current circumstances¨C Da Fei suddenly realized that the Flower Demon Army, trapped in the web, had their magic bar activated! This meant that the web¡¯s effects were beginning to wane, allowing the Flower Demons to cast spells! Unleash the God-level ultimate move! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your vice-hero Selvia exhausted all her Mana to use the Master-level Meditation Skill ¡°Magic Coordination,¡± temporarily increasing the Magic Power of all your casting armies by one point. In an instant, a thousand Flower Demons shimmered and cast spells together, a swarm of bees formed a vast cloud above the battlefield, while the Druids glowed and raised their Thunder Light-flashing Magic Wands! Basic swarm damage = 3+8xMagic Power, Advanced Thunder Damage = 32+15xMagic Power; so when the Magic Power value changed from zero to one, it meant that Da Fei¡¯s Flower Demon Army¡¯s damage tripled in an instant, while the Druid¡¯s Thunder Damage increased by 50%! Such an absurd burst of instant magic output, if unsuccessful, it wouldn¡¯t even be a kindergarten! ¨CBoom!!! Swarms and thunder interwove downward, and the small spiders exploded into a sea of blood flowers, the Golden Spider Boss screamed and perished instantaneously! Is there no end!? ¨CSystem Prompt: You have destroyed the Demon Nest and gained 60,000 Experience! Reputation increased by 100! ¨CTask Hint: The current completion progress of ¡°Attack Abyss Blood Pool¡± mission: Destroyed nest count 11/100. ¨CSystem Prompt: You defeated the Spider Demon Worm Nest Guardian and gained 70,000 Experience. You acquired a large loot item ¡°Golden Spider Web¡±! ¨CGolden Spider Web: C-level strategic treasure, large hunting tool, fishing gear. Can confine one tactical position of enemy action, unable to be dispelled by magic. Large items cannot be carried by players. Can be equipped on ships or set up in trap mechanisms. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Looking at the bundle of golden glowing silk mass exposed from the collapsed demon nest, Da Fei let out another long breath of relief, this time truly assured. The ordeal nearly resulted in extreme danger! Damn it, wasn¡¯t it just a fishing net? Oh well, it counts as a gain at least, and it can be mounted on the Flying¡¯s support equipment position. Like people, ships also needed equipment. Ship equipment usually comprised of figureheads, rammers, auxiliary sails, lifeboats, and the like. Just then, a cold mist suddenly appeared in front of Da Fei, and a sharp voice rang out, ¡°Well done! But it¡¯s not enough! It¡¯s far from appeasing my resentment! No matter what, kill them all, slaughter this worm lot!!! Wahahaha¨C¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Your mission ¡°Tree Elf Resentment¡± completion progress: Destroyed Spider Demon Worm Nest 1. The cold mist dissipated, but the venomous laughter lingered. Da Fei stood dumbfounded on the spot! No matter what, couldn¡¯t you stop giving me a hard time? I don¡¯t want to fight any more Spider Demon Worm Nests! Damn it! (Finally finished busy work, let¡¯s power up the updates!) (To be continued.

Chapter 160 - Chapter 160 Chapter 155 Discovery of the Banshee Island Chapter 160: Chapter 155: Discovery of the Banshee Island Chapter 160: Chapter 155: Discovery of the Banshee Island Now, the sailors are heaving such a big bundle of golden spider silk onto the landing craft. The so-called large props are actually things similar to Crossbow Cannon Tents¨Cplayers can¡¯t directly put them into their equipment bags and must use tools such as wagons or ships for transport. In short, it¡¯s quite inconvenient, and players generally dislike these bulky items. Yet inconvenient items often have unique tactical effects, and for Da Fei, who possesses a great ship, the ability to add a treasure-level auxiliary prop to his ship is undoubtedly a huge gain. After all, the Flying is now Da Fei¡¯s second life. After a bustling half day, the troops finally returned to the ship, and the Flying set off again. Anwen said in a deep voice, ¡°The legendary Demon God¡¯s Baptism truly has extraordinary effects, as evident from the earlier battle. Anyway, we must hurry. Otherwise, these baptized offspring will become stronger and more difficult to deal with.¡± It seems that the old lady doesn¡¯t quite support such tiresome and ungrateful tasks like cleaning up the Spider Demon Worm Nest. Brother knows he¡¯s wrong. But Da Fei still took out the heart of Elf Resentment, looking like a piece of ice, and asked, ¡°Teacher Anwen, I got this from a garrison officer of the World Tree who turned into a Resentful Spirit. He was very adamant about clearing the Spider Demon Worm Nest.¡± Anwen uttered an ¡°Oh¡± and smiled lightly: ¡°If I¡¯m not mistaken, this garrison officer must be Taranna, a very talented and conceited Ranger in the Elf Kingdom for nearly a hundred years. Although Elves are typically proud, his level of arrogance truly infuriated even the gods. In any case, after speaking out of turn during a feast and angering the Elf King, he was banished to guard the World Tree underground. His failure is both regrettable and secretly satisfying, serving as a negative example for all students.¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have obtained information about the Epic Hero Taranna. Damn! There¡¯s more information! Da Fei exclaimed in surprise, ¡°I thought he was just an unnamed Resentful Spirit, but he¡¯s quite a character.¡± Anwen snorted coldly: ¡°Such an arrogant and conceited person would naturally have an enormous ego; of course, he wouldn¡¯t want to reveal his name, lest he also be ridiculed after death. Anyway, we need to focus on the bigger picture; there¡¯s no need to waste time on the obsession of a fanatic.¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°Teacher is right!¡± Damn it, almost got trapped by that damn ghost¡¯s mission. But the more frustrating the mission, the higher the reward tends to be. Uh, this kind of reward that raises the Ranger Level cap is indeed high, too much for brother to handle, should focus on the bigger picture. However, seeing the old lady¡¯s schadenfreude clearly expressed in her words, it¡¯s apparent that she too was very annoyed with him. Alas, the Elves indeed hold grudges. ¡­ The Flying approached the 12th island, and from a distance, a group of something was circling and flying above the island. Da Fei hurriedly took out his binoculars for a look¨Cflying Demon Children? You¡¯ve got to be kidding! Anwen said gravely, ¡°The first batch of Demon eggs has hatched; the quality of these baptized Demons is truly exceptional! We must hurry!¡± Da Fei nodded hastily, feeling a strong sense of urgency welling up inside. As the Blood Moon continued to wane, the Flying swept through¨Cisland by island! 20! 30! Experience and reputation poured in; it was still such a relaxed and enjoyable feeling, hahaha! The 31st, damn it, here we go again, another large island beyond the reach of the crossbow cannon, another frustrating Spider Demon Worm Nest! But this time, the gigantic spiders all across the island have broken out of their cocoons, wandering and basking under the moonlight on the island. All Elite Spider Demons! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but shudder! Nothing more to say, just PASS it by! Now, the Flying is approaching another large island, no need to say much, just pass by! Wait a minute! Suddenly, Da Fei realizes that this island is different ¨C there are buildings on it! Holy shit, this is some high-end, classy stuff! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but pull out his telescope for a closer look, and he¡¯s stunned! Hey, hey! Guess what I see, a bunch of little cherubs with their bare butts scampering around! Indeed, the island is swarming with young Banshee bodies, just like the Charming Emperor when he first came out of the barracks! And they¡¯re even younger and tinier! In that instant, a surge of wicked thoughts and indescribable lust rises from the depths of Da Fei¡¯s heart, uncontrollable! What exactly does Da Fei want to do? Of course, he wants to do something absolutely proper! If this so-called baptism could significantly improve the quality of Demons, then these young Banshee bodies must be Elite, right? Da Fei hurriedly yells for Kate to stop and rushes down to the Gun Cabin, finds Didi and Lili, his eyes red as he points to the island: ¡°I want to capture all of them, do you guys have any way? Think of something! Whether with a net or you seducing them, mobilize the Flower Demon¨Canyway, you are Banshees, you must think of a way!¡± Didi and Lili look at each other, hesitantly reply: ¡°Master¡­ We, we can¡¯t do it¡­¡± Da Fei, eyes redder now, speaks incoherently: ¡°Why can¡¯t you? How can you just not be able to?¡± The two of them also panicking, just shaking their heads: ¡°We can¡¯t means we can¡¯t¡­¡± Da Fei lets out a long sigh! And begins to miss Deirdre infinitely. Although Didi and Lili have grown to be far more powerful than Deirdre when she was a BOSS, their knowledge is not on the same level at all, Deirdre¡¯s intelligence clearly surpassed that of both Epic Heroes, Catherine and Selvia. As the saying goes, among any three people walking, one can be my teacher; Da Fei had no choice but to turn to the seasoned and wise Anwen for help. ¡°Teacher Anwen, I want to capture these Banshees to expand the army, do you have any way?¡± Anwen can¡¯t help but laugh and cry, pointing at Didi and Lili: ¡°I¡¯m curious, Captain, being a human, how did you get these two?¡± Da Fei replies with a sigh: ¡°Of course, it¡¯s because I have a Banshee Camp on my ship!¡± Anwen is astonished: ¡°There is actually such a thing?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei is suddenly taken aback, realizing she actually didn¡¯t know there was a barracks on his ship? Ah! Yes, the barracks was only known by the mayor! She went to rest as soon as she boarded and woke up only after Deirdre had left, meaning she also didn¡¯t know there was once someone like Deirdre on board! At this moment, Anwen shakes her head with a smile: ¡°I know how to kill them, but I really don¡¯t know how to capture them. But I think since you managed to get the first one, getting a second, and naturally, not worrying about the third should be no issue, right? How did the Captain manage to get them previously, can¡¯t you do it now?¡± Da Fei is suddenly bewildered, previously of course Deirdre was the instructor overseeing the barracks, now with the barracks rendered useless, of course¨C Wait! Under normal circumstances, the barracks can still produce troops without an instructor! As long as there¡¯s territory and population, that¡¯s all it takes, having an instructor only increases the quantity and quality of the troops produced. However, Demon barracks are truly too unique, they can teleport through the Hell Gate even without any territory or population, as long as there¡¯s an instructor! Holy shit! I¡¯ve been treating something special as if it were normal! So now, isn¡¯t it like having territory, having population? Although neither the territory nor the people are mine, in any case, I must try. Da Fei hurriedly invites the granny to have a look at his barracks, and calls Catherine and Selvia over, it¡¯s time to reconvene the long-missed Banshee Camp meeting! (To be continued.

Chapter 161: Chapter 156 Teacher, You Are a Goddess! Da Fei brought Anwen to a door in front of the deputy officer¡¯s room. Opening the door, a fluctuating dungeon space gate appeared. Anwen couldn¡¯t help being moved: ¡°What a great use of built-in spatial technology!¡± Da Fei chuckled: ¡°Yep, it took quite a bit of effort. Please come in, teacher!¡± The scene changed, and a warm fragrant breeze with a unique sulfur scent hit them in the face. They arrived at the sumptuously decorated Banshee Camp, complete with silk drapes, jade cabinets, an exquisite fireplace, and an ivory bed. Anwen exclaimed in surprise again: ¡°Is this the Banshee Camp!?¡± Eh? Could it be that I also have something to impress the old lady with? Da Fei couldn¡¯t help feeling proud and chuckled: ¡°Indeed, this is the Banshee Camp, Didi and Lili were summoned from here! There was also a Banshee Instructor, but now she¡¯s out on a mission, so the camp can¡¯t operate¨C¡± As Da Fei spoke, he checked the camp¡¯s status: Troop quota: 0! Zero! Da Fei¡¯s chuckles abruptly stopped! Hope shattered like a burst soap bubble! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply. After all, this wasn¡¯t his own territory, and the banshees on the island certainly weren¡¯t his own population. Such unreliable plans were bound to fail! However, knowing that it was unreliable meant that the smaller the hope, the smaller the disappointment. That¡¯s why he called everyone together again for a brainstorming meeting. Actually, Da Fei had several vague plans. To obtain enemy troops, one option was to battle with enemy heroes, entering combat mode, then defeating them, and there was a certain chance to get a small number of the enemy¡¯s lowest-level surrendering troops. That¡¯s how the Abyss Lord came by. But obviously, this caused too many casualties and didn¡¯t meet Da Fei¡¯s expectation of capturing all of them. Besides, the enemies were leaderless wild monsters, which would not surrender because they were just monsters for leveling up. Therefore, recruiting wild monsters involved a famous sub-skill under Leadership Skill called Diplomacy. ¨CDiplomacy: The hero has a certain chance before battle to persuade neutral or enemy troops in the wild to join their army. The chance of success is related to factors such as the hero¡¯s level of Leadership Skill, the military power comparison of both sides, the enemy¡¯s Morale and hostility level, race camp, and other comprehensive factors. For a retired teacher like Anwen, who has Master Leadership Skill and is an educator that wins people over with virtue, of course, he also knows Diplomacy. Without a doubt, from the literal introduction, this skill seemingly looks like a Divine Skill. Just take a massive army out to sweep through the map of wild monsters that respawn every week, wouldn¡¯t the troops snowball more and more? And who would still need to spend money to recruit troops? But in reality, this certain chance turned out to be tremendously tricky! During public testing, players frustratingly discovered that sometimes leading more troops resulted in worse effects, with monsters directly fleeing in panic, not to speak of diplomacy, you couldn¡¯t even level up properly. And with too few troops, monsters would start the battle without a second thought. In short, this was completely a mysterious lottery skill that you couldn¡¯t rely on at all. If you succeeded, it was certainly a pleasant surprise, and if you failed, it just meant a big battle and nothing more¨Cas if it never happened. If the player had plenty of Skill Points, it could be considered a Compulsory Skill. Although you can¡¯t rely on this skill, for Da Fei, who was currently eager for success, this skill was like a life-saving straw! It¡¯s like Mysterious Stealth Navigation, when various unreliable combinations come together, they somehow become reliable. This is the significance of the brainstorming meeting. Now, the camp space fluctuated, and Catherine and Selvia also came in. Catherine laughed and said: ¡°Captain, I think we might as well use this place as a luxury conference room! Having meetings here really feels high-end and classy!¡± Da Fei shook his head with a sigh, we can¡¯t do this. We haven¡¯t even won the battle yet, and we¡¯re already enjoying ourselves. This trend must not continue! At this moment, Anwen, who had been looking around, heard this and exclaimed in amazement: ¡°It¡¯s hard to believe that such a luxurious Banshee Camp is the first I¡¯ve ever seen in my life.¡± Da Fei was surprised: ¡°Teacher, have you seen one before?¡± Anwen nodded: ¡°When I was young, I served in the army at the frontlines. Our troops had conquered many Demon cities, and I¡¯ve seen plenty of Banshee Camps, which were just rooms with a brazier and a drawn Teleportation Array. The cultural values of the Hell Race are quite different from ours. They don¡¯t really care about these luxuries, or to say, low-level demons simply don¡¯t deserve such luxurious facilities¨COh right!¡± Anwen¡¯s tone shifted: ¡°Who helped you build this camp?¡± Ah! Da Fei was taken aback, genuinely at a loss for words! Of course, the camp was repaired with the help of Mayor Auseliman! But could he really talk about such obvious backstage dealings? Da Fei, having mixed in society for so many years, though not very successfully, still understood one principle when dealing with corrupt officials: Some matters should be known only to you and me and not to a third person¡¯s ears! Even parents and wives should be kept in the dark, let alone this old lady who is clearly a retired official sent by the Kingdom. There¡¯s no need to create unnecessary complications. Da Fei could only laugh and say: ¡°I asked some Grand Mages to help fix it through connections.¡± ¡°Grand Mages!¡± Anwen suddenly realized and laughed strangely: ¡°It turns out to be so, a Banshee Camp with Mage characteristics indeed. No wonder it¡¯s so luxurious, I¡¯m finally fortunate enough to witness it today.¡± Da Fei, surprised, asked: ¡°What are Mage characteristics?¡± Anwen shook her head: ¡°Some things are inconvenient to talk about.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched! Her smile just now was so weird, exactly like the expression commonly seen on aunties! Could it be the story that must not be told between Mages and Banshees? That¡¯s what I love to hear the most! Especially now when I am the only male here, with all my beloved harem around! Discussing such things in front of my harem is truly thrilling! Isn¡¯t that why so many men like to tell dirty jokes in front of their female colleagues? To put it bluntly, it¡¯s to sexually harass and assault their ears! It¡¯s what gives men pleasure! Da Fei eagerly said: ¡°Teacher, teacher! Feel free to share, we¡¯re all adults here, maybe there¡¯s a breakthrough clue.¡± Anwen laughed heartily towards Selvia: ¡°Is she of age yet?¡± Da Fei hurriedly said: ¡°She¡¯s a Nun, pure and unaffected by mud! Being worldly is her cultivation!¡± Hahaha, telling dirty jokes to a spotless Saintess, it¡¯s even more exhilarating and satisfying for men! Anwen laughed: ¡°It¡¯s actually not that exaggerated. In short, when Males Mages study Demons, Banshees are an unavoidable private topic. There¡¯s a saying that when men gather, most topics are about women. Young Male Mages gathering to exchange their experiences often end up discussing Banshees. After all, compared to ordinary human females, Banshees have unmatched advantages and attentiveness. They won¡¯t get angry because their master is a geek, nor will they turn their faces because the master is poor, making them ideal females, the most loyal companions on the arduous path of young Male Mages.¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly: ¡°Exactly, exactly!¡± Banshees are indeed great. Anwen, shaking her head with a smile, said: ¡°Ultimately, it¡¯s just because Banshees, as Demons, have different values, and they pursue different things. In any case, after generations of geeky Mages put their heart and soul, exhausted and passionately devoted to research, the technique of summoning banshees has become very mature and advanced, far ahead of other demonology subjects by ages, and even surpassing the Hell Race is not surprising. This luxurious Banshee Camp is proof. I suppose this is also an important reason why the Captain could easily find people to build a Banshee Camp.¡± What a ¡°heart and soul, totally spent¡± research! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but clap and exclaim: ¡°Teacher said it so well!¡± Anwen shook her head and sighed: ¡°Anyway, I have confiscated many little booklets related to Banshees from my male students. In fact, the issue of Banshees is a major problem that troubles us educators. These young students, weak in strength and not focusing on the right things, are obsessed with Banshees, totally unaware that Banshees are always Demons and beyond their energy to handle.¡± Da Fei nodded again, realizing: Indeed! This must be a very troubling problem for teachers, teachers have a hard time. Anwen smiled: ¡°In any case, with such complete and comprehensive Array facilities, and the target is within reach, I can also summon Banshees, but it requires special sacrifices.¡± Da Fei was ecstatic: ¡°Teacher! You are great! But what is the special sacrifice?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Anwen took out a yellowed booklet that looked like a manual and chuckled while flipping through it: ¡°Usually, it¡¯s Males Mages¡¯ own Life Essence, but I suggest the Captain use treasures for the sacrifice.¡± What Life Essence! Young Mages have plenty of Life Essence, the deal is definitely worth it! I also have lots of it! But still, let¡¯s use treasures. Da Fei excitedly pulled out a big telescope and asked: ¡°Is a C-grade treasure enough?¡± Anwen laughed heartily: ¡°For those kids, such glittering treasures are more than enough!¡± Haha! Hahaha! Teacher, you are a Goddess!!! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at wuxiaworld.site, your support is my greatest motivation.

Chapter 162 - Chapter 162 Chapter 157 The Summoned Little Banshee Chapter 162: Chapter 157: The Summoned Little Banshee Chapter 162: Chapter 157: The Summoned Little Banshee Summoning ceremony preparations began, with Anwen placing a telescope right in the middle of the ground array, then she started to flip through a handwritten booklet. Needless to say, this must be what she referred to as confiscated from a student. Under the circumstance with no instructor present, getting an unrelated person to preside over the barracks is indeed a miracle, and it truly reflects the advanced state of Banshee summoning technology. While an extra price has to be paid in the form of a sacrificed treasure, I wouldn¡¯t bat an eyelid at such a trifle, only wishing I had killed more players. However, precisely because the Banshee summoning technology is so developed, players of non-Hell Race who have acquired Banshees must not be few, right? Ah, it¡¯s such an irritating thought. I must take advantage of this time when I have what others don¡¯t, waiting until later when others have but mine will be elite. Just as I was contemplating, Anwen¡¯s preparation work was done, and she began the spellcasting, with the entire array bursting into dazzling pink light, the telescope at the center shining brilliantly! Oh yeah! It¡¯s happening! Da Fei watched the array with overwhelming anticipation, eyes glued to the scene. Quite some time passed, and there was no movement from the array, Anwen let out a ¡®huh¡¯ of surprise and stopped her spellcasting. Did it fail? Da Fei tensed up and hurriedly asked, ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s going on?¡± Anwen flipped through the booklet again, frowning, ¡°I didn¡¯t recite the spell wrong! The format is also standard; why didn¡¯t it work?¡± Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! Impossible, the bigger the hope, the greater the disappointment! Don¡¯t play me like this; my little heart can¡¯t take it! Anwen then took out another booklet and continued to look through it. I¡¯m dizzy! How many booklets did you confiscate, old lady? Having confiscated them is one thing, but how many years have you been retired? How many years have you treasured these booklets? Anwen frowned and said, ¡°I¡¯ll try again!¡± The spellcasting began anew. Da Fei was tied up in knots. The array¡¯s light flickered and then went out again, the last spark of hope in Da Fei extinguished! Could it be that the old lady isn¡¯t as proficient as the basement-dwelling Mages? Lacks the call of basement-dweller¡¯s love? Or is it simply because unrelated personnel are not up to the task? Anwen said gravely, ¡°I¡¯m sure there was a creature that heard my summoning, but it just won¡¯t come! What exactly is wrong?¡± Da Fei asked Didi and Lili in a hurry, ¡°What do you guys think, where did it go wrong?¡± Didi and Lili anxiously replied, ¡°Master, we don¡¯t know!¡± Damn! Can¡¯t you say something other than ¡®don¡¯t know¡¯? Anwen asked, ¡°By the way, Captain, how did you summon these two Banshees?¡± Crap! How would I know? I only knew to click ¡°select,¡± ¡°confirm¡±! How could I¨Cwait! Could it be? Da Fei said with confusion, ¡°Teacher, Didi and Lili were just ordinary Banshees at first; they became what they are now through gradual training. Could it be that your spell is meant to summon ordinary Banshees? Or does it apply to all Banshees?¡± Anwen suddenly realized, ¡°So that¡¯s how it is! This spell can only summon ordinary Banshees, and those students could, at most, summon ordinary ones. The Banshees on this island are clearly Elite juveniles already; they are not the same existence, no wonder there¡¯s no response.¡± Da Fei asked in astonishment, ¡°Even with the added treasure sacrifice, it doesn¡¯t work?¡± Anwen shook her head and sighed, ¡°Who knows what these little ones are thinking? I¡¯ve done my best; Captain, you should focus on important tasks.¡± Hey, hey, hey! This is the important task! Compared to small matters like saving the world, summoning Banshees is the ultimate task; old lady, how could you back down at the first sign of difficulty? Da Fei unwillingly said, ¡°Teacher, is there no way to modify the spell?¡± Anwen smiled wryly, ¡°The spell is the law of creation; it¡¯s not something that can be altered at will; it would take a really powerful god to do that.¡± Crap! With his desires shattered, Da Fei spurts out a mouthful of vital blood! Just then, Catherine spoke, ¡°Though I don¡¯t know what these little ones are thinking, I believe that as females, especially the young ones without judging capacity, they should have an uncontrollable innate desire for treasures, like babies instinctively grasping at colorful toys that make strange noises. And from my training experience with Didi and Lili, the Banshees¡¯ attachment to Gold Coins is not inferior to any human¡¯s. The more Elite they are, the greater the desire; the less reason they have to resist the lure of treasures; they should try even harder to respond to the Array¡¯s call. I think it¡¯s probably not a problem with the spell.¡± Hm! Is there a chance now? Did he refuse because I didn¡¯t offer money? Da Fei couldn¡¯t help getting excited again! Anwen¡¯s eyebrows twitched: ¡°What does Miss Catherine think is the reason for their refusal to the summoning?¡± Catherine frowned and said, ¡°I think it might be fear! The instinctive fear of danger that infants have! We are so close to them, they might sense that the summoning location is on our ship, so they instinctively sense danger and are reluctant to come.¡± Anwen frowned and said, ¡°Does Miss Catherine mean that we should retreat even further? But in that case, I can¡¯t guarantee that I can summon the Banshees on the island. After all, I¡¯ve only heard about this field and am not well-versed in it.¡± So it turns out we don¡¯t know whether it¡¯s true or not! Da Fei immediately said, ¡°What about restarting the Mysterious Stealth Navigation? This way, not only will they be unable to see us, but it should also ensure that the teacher can summon them, right?¡± Anwen chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s worth a try.¡± Da Fei¡¯s fire of hope blazed fiercely: ¡°Great, then let¡¯s cram all the maritime troops into the bottom cabin, don¡¯t let the little ones feel a hint of the murderous aura!¡± Anwen shook his head with a laughter of resignation: ¡°If it still doesn¡¯t work, Captain should focus on the main tasks. It¡¯s really exhausting for my old self to run both the Mysterious Stealth Navigation and to manage the Summoning Array!¡± Oh no! The old lady won¡¯t play along with me anymore! Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Teacher, thank you for your hard work, trouble you one last time! If it still doesn¡¯t happen, then so be it!¡± Anwen shook his head and sighed, ¡°Really can¡¯t do anything with you!¡± The operation began, and just to be safe, whether it worked or not, Da Fei smashed all the telescopes and threw out 20,000 Gold Coins to pile up a small mountain on the Array, temporarily blinding Catherine with the shimmer. After all, this money was easy come from PK-ing foreigners, there¡¯s no pressure in spending it. Then, Anwen summoned a faint mist, and as the mist dissipated, the massive structure of the Flying became transparent and vanished! Oh yeah, this is exactly the effect we wanted! After casting, Anwen returned to preside over the ceremony at the Summoning Array. As for Da Fei, he couldn¡¯t be of much help anyway, so he stayed on deck to keep watch over the surrounding situation. Mainly because he was tossing between hope and despair, tired of agonizing, he chose not to watch the scene directly. If it failed, he would feel truly unbearable regret. If he really could recruit these Little Babies, not only would he have an Elite Army to greatly offset the loss of Jungle Hunter¡¯s combat power, but he could also teach them Artillery Skill one by one, then the advancement of the Master-level Crossbow Cannons would be hopeful. Time passed second by second, with Da Fei feeling a mix of emotions. Suddenly, a bunch of small red dots appeared on Da Fei¡¯s mini-map flying his way. Da Fei alarmedly looked in the direction of the red dots, only to see those freely floating Little Babies from the island! Dozens of them swarmed towards the Flying! Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched in shock! What¡¯s happening? Have they seen through the Mysterious Stealth Navigation? Are they attacking on their own accord? That¡¯s completely impossible! In a moment, these tender Little Babies came swooshing in! ¡ª-System Prompt: The Mysterious Stealth Navigation effect of the Flying has disappeared! Damn! My Divine Skill got ruined! What is this about? Da Fei was utterly baffled on the spot! And these Little Babies, completely ignoring the now visible Flying, rushed straight to the aft deck¡¯s guest cabins, barreling into the Space Gate of the Banshee Camp! Ah? Da Fei was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed to the point of ecstasy! Although he didn¡¯t know what was going on, they had arrived, and once they arrived, they were his beloved treasures! Wahaha! Overcome with joy, Da Fei immediately rushed into the Banshee Camp, only to be startled speechless by the scene in front of him! He saw that these still red-named Little Babies, each clutching a telescope, were huddled in the corner, quivering with fear! Hey hey hey, what on earth was going on? But they really do look so damn adorable! Wahaha! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Seeing Da Fei come in, Catherine laughed heartily: ¡°They gave me quite the scare just now; these little fellows rushed in and snatched all the telescopes and money, then realized we were here, and now they¡¯re just scared like this, huh!¡± Robbing money? Da Fei urgently asked the old lady, ¡°Teacher, was the summoning a success or a failure?¡± Anwen, caught between laughter and tears, said, ¡°Since they didn¡¯t come through the Teleportation Array, it¡¯s of course a failure. However, they also didn¡¯t attack, indicating that the summoning spell had some subtle enticing effect on them. I think, these little guys need more care and trust.¡± So that¡¯s how it is! Da Fei laughed heartily: ¡°I¡¯ll immediately ask the kitchen to serve up some tasty food for them. Kids, after all, are easiest to handle as long as they have food, drink, and fun!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 163 - Chapter 163 Chapter 158 Artillery Master Deirdre Chapter 163: Chapter 158: Artillery Master Deirdre Chapter 163: Chapter 158: Artillery Master Deirdre No matter what, as long as these Little Banshees don¡¯t attack, they will eventually become Da Fei¡¯s possessions. Da Fei excitedly waved and smiled at them, while they hugged their telescopes even tighter. Wahahaha, so cute! Da Fei counted with his fingers, there were exactly 44, just enough for each to have a telescope. Wahahaha, these are all Elite Banshees, the combat power and the Jungle Hunters of Level 3 Soldiers are definitely not on the same level. As long as they are cultivated, they will be enough to make up for and enhance my strength! Alas, it¡¯s a pity that I couldn¡¯t blow up more players to drop more telescopes! At this time, Mrs. Anwen looked exhausted but was gratified: ¡°Although I don¡¯t know where it went wrong, the mistake turned into an advantage. I feel like I wasn¡¯t using the array for summoning, but using it as a medium, employing incantations as a language to display a very alternative diplomacy technique to them. Otherwise, it¡¯s really inexplicable why they started distributing property as if no one were there as soon as they entered the door. In short, this is an incomplete result of the combined effects of coin diplomacy, treasure sacrifice, array summoning, plus Mysterious Stealth Navigation to hide military strength! The remaining issue is to find a way to eliminate their hostility.¡± Only then did Da Fei realize: ¡°So that¡¯s how it is! Diplomacy sometimes requires spending money!¡± Wahahaha, I¡¯m so awesome, I knew Gold Coins would be useful! Anwen laughed: ¡°Moreover, the advantage of this array¡¯s remote diplomacy is that it can be repeated, avoiding the situation where failure in normal circumstances means a battle is necessary. This is indeed a new topic, perhaps we can use this method to interact with some powerful demons.¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly: ¡°So that¡¯s how it is!¡± I¡¯m not interested in powerful demons, having Little Baby is enough, wahaha! At this moment, Selvia brought a large quantity of exquisite Elf Kingdom food from the kitchen. Then, with an angelic smile, she distributed food to the Little Banshees huddled up together. Even Didi and Lili couldn¡¯t help drooling. It seemed that no matter how different the values between demons and Elf humans, good food was universally recognized. However, in the eyes of these Little Banshees, what would Selvia¡¯s angelic smile look like? In any case, they got even more scared. Selvia then spread the food and drinks out in front of them and walked away. Finally, these Little Banshees couldn¡¯t resist the temptation of the delicious food, and they all came forward to eat, cheering loudly. Their red names above their heads instantly turned to neutral yellow names! Oh yeah! My living conditions here are so much better than in hell. It¡¯s only a matter of time before they join my troops. At this time, Anwen wiped a forehead full of sweat and sighed: ¡°Alright, I¡¯m a bit tired, Captain, complete the task quickly.¡± Da Fei hurriedly nodded: ¡°Thank you, teacher! Please go back to your room and rest, leave the rest to me!¡± The Banshee Camp was in an Otherworld, and the hero¡¯s attribute skills couldn¡¯t affect the entire ship or army, so Da Fei and Catherine had to leave. Now, this place was left to Selvia, who was temporarily unoccupied. This little angel couldn¡¯t contribute to summoning ideas, so let her be a confidant sister playing with the kids. Although the kids seemed very afraid of this Angel Sister, fear was good, it facilitated discipline. Since the goal was achieved, there was no need to waste time landing on Banshee Island, let¡¯s continue along the coast and blow up other Demon Nests. ¡­ Meanwhile, at the Pool of Radiance, the battle had broken down to a new stage. After the Hellish Alliance Army suppressed the Elves of the Chinese region on the Lake Island city walls, the main force concentrated its superior forces to continue the siege, though it was not complete. Then they dispatched non-main force members with few soldiers left to the roots beneath the Flower Demon Camp by the Pool of Radiance to dump corrupt soil, polluting and destroying the area, filling it with rolling black smoke. Star, taking advantage of the invincible position standing on the city walls, utilized the fast speed of leaf boats to organize the main force members into groups of five, equipped with one healing player each, to skirmish and hunt down the Hell Race¡¯s soil-polluting ships. They aimed to accumulate merit to exchange for Druids. Once Star accumulated enough Druids, it would be the true decider of victory. For a time, the scattering fleets of the Pool of Radiance chased each other, initiating an all-out war. And clearly, Star¡¯s fragmented and mobile tactics gradually gained the upper hand. If the situation continued as it was, Star would undoubtedly win the final victory. For a brief moment, the World Channel in the China Region was flooded with messages, all starting to celebrate victory in advance. For the Earth Clan, the only way to reverse the situation was to break through this waterborne city wall and seize the Resurrection Point on Lake Island. Once the Resurrection Point was occupied for a long period, according to the battlefield rules, the Hell Camp would achieve national war victory. But facing the Elven waterborne city wall, the Hell Race¡¯s stone-age warships had no way. Although the Hell Camp¡¯s fast paddle assault ships would be regarded as a high-grade suicidal weapon by the navies of various nations even on the sea, striking the wall would still be akin to hitting a reef. More troublesome was that the city wall could increase the range and power of stationed ranged units and the crossbow cannon. Of course, not only the wall, any high ground combined with tailwind was advantageous to ranged units, like a standing urinating far. Meanwhile, it could reduce the attacker¡¯s ranged damage by 25%-50%. Thus, the Hellish Alliance Army¡¯s strongest 4th level ranged soldier, the Fire Element, had no advantage to speak of. Facing the walls, no one dared to claim an advantage. This was one of the difficulties in siege warfare. Even worse than the siege was the ongoing internal strife among the Hell Race. The Indian Zone was obsessed with female heroes. They refused to give up the female hero to the China Region and started organizing groups to crash into the China Region battleships surrounding the female hero. Though surrounding the female hero had little relevance to improving favor and perhaps even less tactical significance in actual combat, it symbolized sovereignty, and neither side was willing to yield an inch, leading to fierce collisions. Of course, collisions were a highly sophisticated skill that ordinary players shouldn¡¯t easily replicate. Like sports games, the line between legal body contact and fouls often depended on control of force and reach. Otherwise, the system would consider it PK. And apparent it was, these Indian players were the elite from their country, and their area control ability was vastly superior to the Hell Race¡¯s weaker power, temporary workers of the Dragon Slayer Guild. In the circumstances of the Great Army¡¯s encirclement, even the God-level Hero Blood Sea Wave was unlikely to support out of the city. For a moment, the formation of the Chinese fleet gradually started to loosen. Just then, a temp worker from the Dragon Slayer Guild failed to hold it together, or perhaps got tricked by India. Anyway, he accidentally exceeded the threshold slightly, red card! The Indian players whooped, and a barrage of fire elements from each ship eliminated the red-named temp worker swiftly, taunting as they charged through the breach. Another member got sniped, and taunted by India, a few more temp workers from the Dragon Slayer lost their composure and turned red name again! Gan Liniang! Damn it, who cares, it¡¯s mutual PK! In the chaotic situation, the same scene played out again, and Deirdre¡¯s warship broke free and reentered the battlefield. For a moment, both sides were stunned, then promptly gave chase. And the Japan Zone, acting as the Alliance Hierarch, had long been dissatisfied with the two ¡°Baka¡± countries vying for the girl NPC. When they saw the NPC warship joining the fray from behind the formation, they immediately directed their own ships to open a passage, letting her perish! Then they closed it up, cutting off their hope. This prompted a flurry of nationalist curses from Chinese and Indian players. Boom! A cannon fired! A crossbow cannon shot from Deirdre¡¯s warship at the waterborne city wall! This shot astounded all Hell players present to their core! Because its range clearly exceeded a standard crossbow cannon¡¯s by a margin! Under normal conditions, it couldn¡¯t have reached the city wall! For Hell Race players heavily reliant on crossbow cannon openings, they knew the crossbow cannon¡¯s range all too well! At least in their current position, the crossbow cannon on the wall couldn¡¯t reach them! Boom! The city wall erupted with sparks flying everywhere! All players exploded in excitement! An explosive crossbow!? The legendary tactical ability of the Hell Clan Epic Hero Delib, ¡°Iron Maiden¡±? Yes, everyone had seen Delib before, although closely surrounded by Indian players, but the more closely guarded, the more intensely scrutinized by high-level spies from various countries. Delib once gave this female NPC a red book! That must be imparting a skill! Boom! Another cannon echoed! The city wall erupted into bright flashes! Battlefield report: Hell Camp NPC Hero Deirdre killed the Chinese region player Fallen Big Cat! ¡°Wow!!!¡± All Hell Race players unanimously cheered with no doubts! All Chinese Region players were horrified! This female hero is clearly a Water Siege Machine! With her on our side, is there any need to fear the city walls can¡¯t be brought down? Hell nations cursed in team channels at India¡¯s and China¡¯s trailing hindrance preventing the siege machine from participating in combat. Now, realizing the female hero¡¯s value, Japan Zone reacted immediately, surrounding the female hero¡¯s warship with heavy forces. Meanwhile, in the Chinese region, whether the Dragon Slayer or Star were immensely shocked! Lei Huolong immediately opened the task panel to check the Banshee¡¯s attributes, instantly shocked. This Banshee Hero had leveled up while reading and improved her skills even more! Deirdre: The mysterious Banshee pursuing the Hero¡¯s Road! Level: 6. Profession: Intermediate Artillery Master, increases crossbow cannon damage by 20%, gaining 1 Attack and 1 free attribute point every time the Hero levels up. Hero Special Ability: Banshee Leader.

In ranged battles, increased range is tremendously important! It¡¯s already demonstrating an incredible advantage, showcasing the strength of hidden Hero professions! It¡¯s only level 6, if she reaches Crossbow Master and fires twice in succession, it would be devastating! Suddenly, Lei Huolong noticed the task favorability was a pitiful 11%! How did it drop? It was 20% prior to the expedition! Could it be Japan¡¯s earlier encirclement had wooed her too? What the hell! Notify the boss, Japan must be destroyed! And just then, the spectators erupted once again! The roots entwined on the waterborne city wall emitted green light, beginning to self-heal! (To be continued.

Chapter 164 - Chapter 164 Chapter 159 Training Elite Little Banshees Chapter 164: Chapter 159 Training Elite Little Banshees Chapter 164: Chapter 159 Training Elite Little Banshees Walls with self-healing capabilities, what a game-changing phenomenon! Without a doubt, this was the power of the World Tree! It was a miracle! The cheers from the Hellish Alliance Army barely lasted a few seconds before being replaced by the celebration of the Chinese players. The battle situation now returned to its original point, with the advantage still on Star¡¯s side. Perhaps the World Tree¡¯s restoration wasn¡¯t endless, but as long as it could hold until Star could amass enough Druid forces, it would be fine. After all, compared to a God-level Monster like the Druid, an Abyss Lord specializing in close combat Fireball spells was awkwardly inferior. ¡ª Boom! Another blaze of fire erupted on the city wall. NPC heroes didn¡¯t care if the walls healed or not, hitting them was all in a day¡¯s work, and once again, green light burst from the city walls. ¡°Fight, go!¡± The American Zone, which had been busy gathering intel, finally spoke up to boost morale. For the United States, they didn¡¯t need to intervene; just a word, even a mere hint, could lend their allies endless courage and confidence. Sure enough, players from all over the world responded like a synchronized, rhythmic cheer squad. The entire battle channel echoed with: ¡°Fight, go!¡± ¡°Fight, go!¡± Now, all eyes across the world were drawn to this dull yet gripping contradiction of a duel: miraculous artillery skills versus miraculous city walls, who would emerge victorious in the end? As for the Japan Zone, they finally understood why China and India were so entangled over this Banshee. In truth, the start of this national conflict arose from the Indian Zone¡¯s misleading move because of this Banshee! Now that the Banshee was already surrounded and practically controlled by us in the Japan Zone, we must capture her! For the behavior of the Japan Zone, it was undoubtedly a betrayal, even an insult to India, who considered them allies! The entire Indian Command Center erupted into a frenzy of curses! To India, Japan simply wasn¡¯t regarded as a sovereign nation. Would a sovereign nation be under foreign military occupation and surveillance for decades? So India looked down on Japan deep down, and now being played by Japan like this was simply intolerable! It was time to teach these arrogant Japanese a lesson, not to assume that having the United States backing them meant others would not dare to oppose them! In fact, apart from China, everyone could teach Japan a lesson, including Taiwan (whether or not they could win was a separate matter)! The rationale? Too simple, if the United States continued to protect Japan, then threaten to side with China to pressure the U.S. Thus, as a major nation, India felt very confident in putting Japan in its place! Not just for the Banshee, but for dignity! As for the big picture of the national conflict? Ha! India¡¯s aim, from the very beginning, wasn¡¯t the national conflict. Just then, Nehru¡¯s phone, which had been thrown to the ground, rang. A staff member immediately picked it up: ¡°Headquarters, it¡¯s a call from that Chinese person you couldn¡¯t reach earlier!¡± ¡°What¡¯s that deceitful Chinese up to now!¡± Nehru angrily took the phone and questioned, ¡°Mr. Ma?¡± A chuckle came from the other end: ¡°Ah, sorry, sorry, the phone was charging earlier, just saw Mr. Nehru¡¯s missed call, what can I do for you?¡± Nehru had an urge to smash his phone again, but by this point, the other party¡¯s intent was quite clear. To this Chinese person, no matter who the opponent was, as long as he could cause trouble during the national conflict, it meant brownie points and presence for his team back home. He was a rascal not to be trifled with. So Nehru had to say, ¡°Just checking in, Mr. Ma, do you have any business?¡± The voice on the phone chuckled, ¡°Let¡¯s crash into the Japan Zone together!¡± Right on target! Nehru couldn¡¯t help but raise an eyebrow, ¡°Why don¡¯t you go yourself?¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have the skills you guys do! We want to learn from you!¡± These words were music to Nehru¡¯s ears! At that moment, the battlefield erupted into a thunderous applause! A beam of golden light descended from the sky ¡ª Deirdre had leveled up! Bombing the city walls and leveling up, this contradiction duel was taking unexpected turns! ¡°Fight, go!¡± The shouts resounded through the Pool of Radiance! Lei Huolong and Aamirhan¡¯s first instinct was to check on Deirdre¡¯s upgraded attributes, Basic War Machine Science had leveled up to Intermediate! Staring at the skill attributes broadcasted on the large screen on the wall, the Dragon Slayer Command Center and Indian Command Center exclaimed in awe! This NPC really knew how to allocate Skill Points! Every player using Crossbow Cannons knew, leveling up this skill was a significant leap! So what are we waiting for, let¡¯s plan how to crash into the Japan Zone! . . . . . . Abyss Blood Pool, the waning moon hung in the sky. The Flying rode the wind and waves, sweeping all before it. The 50th Demon Nest tumbled down with blood pouring out. This experience, this prestige, it was practically a gift, wahahaha! However, watching the demon infants on the island growing larger and larger, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but feel shocked! How astonishingly fast these infants were growing! This must be due to the moon! Just then, ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! 44 Elite Demon Infants have joined your ranks! Oh yeah! Finally, the time had come! Come on, everyone on deck to bask in the moonlight! Little darlings, grow up quickly, become big darlings with nice plump butts for firing cannons! Soon, Selvia led a group of bouncing little darlings onto the deck with a smile. Da Fei laughed heartily as he wiped the sweet sweat from Selvia¡¯s forehead, showing concern, ¡°Thank you, thank you, you did a great job! Get some rest in the cabin too!¡± Selvia smiled, ¡°Okay, Captain, these little ones are really too naughty!¡± Haha, naughty is good! Big brother loves naughty little darlings the most! Da Fei checked their attributes, not bad! Just like Didi and Lili when they were young. Of course, Didi and Lili¡¯s successes were due to many leaps through real combat, which might be unreplicable, and he didn¡¯t intend to replicate them. After several rounds of special soldier training, Da Fei thought he had some insights. First of all, the learning ability of a unit was certainly limited ¡ª the more skills they learned, the more detrimental it was to skill enhancement and learning new skills, which simply meant being a jack of all trades, master of none. This might also explain the difficulty in raising Didi and Lili¡¯s Crossbow Cannon levels. So these Little Banshees, who knew nothing but Flying Stunts, were a blank slate ideal for creating a big success! Of course, they should focus on artillery, not learning Scout Pirate skills at all, mainly due to a lack of funds for the latter. Da Fei called one of the small darlings who was holding onto a telescope tightly to his side, stroking her head kindly, ¡°Come, the master will teach you to fire cannons! If you learn well, there will be tasty treats every day!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Little Banshee nodded obediently. Then a flash of white light, ¡ª System Prompt: You used the ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± skill on Elite Demon Infant, and successfully imparted the ¡°Basic War Machine Science¡± to it! ¡ª System Prompt: You obtained information on Advanced Special Soldier Training Technique. Oh yeah! A successful attempt produced skill information again! His assumption was right! To upgrade skills required lots of training starting from the basics with plenty of successes! Wahahaha, he had dozens of little darlings, enough for him to train his skills! Come on, step by step, he would level them from Basic to Intermediate and then to Advanced! (To be continued. If you like this work, you¡¯re welcome to give recommendations, monthly votes on the website (wuxiaworld.site), your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.wuxiaworld.site.) Chapter 165 - Chapter 165 Chapter 160 Turns Out Theyre All Brats Chapter 165: Chapter 160 Turns Out They¡¯re All Brats Chapter 165: Chapter 160 Turns Out They¡¯re All Brats ¡ª-System Prompt: You used the ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± skill on the Elite Demon Infant, successfully teaching it ¡°Basic War Machine Science¡±! ¡ª-System Prompt: You obtained information about the Advanced Special Soldier Training Technique. Oh yeah! Another success! Ten consecutive successes! Stop crowding, next in line, wahahaha! 15 times! 20 times! Da Fei was so excited that his hands started trembling! Deirdre once said that the growth potential of infants is quite high, so those elite-level ones baptized by the so-called Demon God Storm are even more promising! This is the legendary once-in-a-century genius with excellent roots! If Didi and Lili were products of exploration and had many imperfect flaws in their positioning, the growth of these infants couldn¡¯t take any detours. They must specialize in artillery skills! Currently in the game, only level 7 troops and a few level 6 troops possess Master-level skills, so Da Fei¡¯s goal was to have them reach Master-level Crossbow Cannon Skill! And in the process of teaching them, elevate his own Crossbow and Special Soldier skills to Grandmaster level! Maybe even reach God-level! For Da Fei, who already had a preliminary understanding of the path to Grandmaster advancement, achieving this goal with such good seedlings was only a matter of time, filling him with confidence! A flash of white light! The 44th successful teaching! Da Fei laughed out loud with joy! The next target, intermediate! Suddenly, Da Fei noticed that during training, these kids had grown significantly. Yes, every flash of white light learning a new skill would logically increase attributes, but this growth was noticeably more vigorous than Didi and Lili at the time. Perhaps this was the result of skill growth and moonbathing working together. Anyway, Da Fei felt extremely pressed for time; he had to teach them to higher skills before they matured as much as possible. Once matured, not only would it become more difficult, but the system would undoubtedly charge money. As for the infant stage, the charging standard perplexed Da Fei, but for now, it was not charging anything anyway. Since training at the intermediate level, the difficulty was bound to increase a notch, so to ensure success on the first try and save time, Da Fei decided to adopt an internship-style teaching method, that is, letting them who learned basic artillery skills operate the machine for practical combat. After all, could you expect a student who had never seen or touched a machine to suddenly become intermediate? As for the skilled gunners, of course, they should step down and go sweep the deck and hoist the sails for a change of pace. Thus, Da Fei took these little fellows down to the lower gun cabin. The little babies cheered as they saw so many Crossbow Cannons, eagerly scrambling for positions as if they saw their favorite toys. In no time, all 32 gun positions on two levels of the gun cabin were occupied. Those without positions started pushing those with positions, resulting in chaos and chatter in the gun cabin. Da Fei shouted anxiously, ¡°Quiet! Take it slow, one by one, everyone gets a turn!¡± The little banshees¡¯ eyes were burning red, completely ignoring Da Fei¡¯s words, fighting even more fiercely! Damn it! You really are demons! That fierce competitive spirit for positions is indeed innate! While it¡¯s a good thing, not putting the commander in the eye? They must know who the authority is! Da Fei roared in anger, ¡°Stop fighting! Be quiet!¡± The fighting banshees glanced at Da Fei, then continued fighting but without yelling. This silent scuffle was indeed very quiet! Da Fei didn¡¯t know whether to laugh or cry, ¡°Stop it, everyone!¡± The brawling banshees looked at Da Fei again, then began biting! Indeed, they no longer used their hands! Oh shit! They¡¯ll bite each other to death! Da Fei¡¯s complexion changed as he roared, ¡°Stop fighting! All of you stop now!¡± Finally, these little devils understood human language and indeed stopped internal strife. Da Fei was soaked in cold sweat. These weren¡¯t little babies at all but just little devils. After all, demons were demons. Auseliman had described the Abyss Blood Pool like this: when the tide receded, countless demon eggs hatched, and the little demons would fight and devour each other to grow stronger. How true! Now, perhaps because of the Storm Baptism, there weren¡¯t countless little demons around, so there weren¡¯t such Shura-like scenes, but when it came to fighting over things, nobody held back. He had to call someone to supervise them, or when he wasn¡¯t around, they¡¯d fight for positions and end up dead, what a loss that¡¯d be! It seemed they obediently followed angel-like Sailville, so little angel sweetheart had to continue toiling as their nanny. Overall, the situation was stabilized, and the teaching started. Of course, the teaching method was like cultivating Didi and Lili, having the little banshees sit on the main cannon he controlled for triple shots. Other gun positions¡¯ banshees could freely fire; although the Flying was en route to the next Demon Nest without any target, letting them get familiar with the Crossbow Cannon would surely benefit their learning experience. For a while, the gun cabin roared constantly, little banshees with cannons laughed triumphantly, those without sat in the cabin clenched their little fists with hateful eyes. Da Fei¡¯s heart trembled, this team was hard to lead, he quickly arranged for some sailors from the warehouse to bring parts to let them assemble and play. Now, the little baby on Da Fei¡¯s main cannon had fired two rounds of triple shots, almost ready to start. ¡ª-System Prompt: You used the ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± skill on the Elite Demon Infant and failed to teach ¡°Intermediate War Machine Science¡±! Da Fei¡¯s heart sank, failing at the intermediate level already! This was troublesome! Fortunately, no money was deducted. It seemed, at the kindergarten stage, no money would be deducted, so he continued. Failed again! Continuing! Still failed! Damn it! Is the intermediate course too difficult for these little kids, impossible to comprehend? At this moment, the Flying reached the next stop, the island where the 61st Demon Nest was located. Perhaps firing empty shots didn¡¯t count as real combat, hindering their understanding? If so, then let them have real combat and see some blood! Da Fei immediately commanded, ¡°All Crossbow Cannons, fire at the Demon Nest!!!¡± The little banshees cheered in unison, firing Crossbow Arrows wildly! For a while, they bombarded the demons on the island making them flee helter-skelter! Damn it! Where are you shooting? Da Fei hurriedly yelled, ¡°Aim at the Demon Nest! The Demon Nest! The biggest one!¡± But the little banshees couldn¡¯t heed him, each letting out evil laughs while reloading to kill their kin! Da Fei stood there stunned! An army that didn¡¯t obey the commander, this was the first time he heard of such a thing! Why was this happening? Didi and Lili were obedient as children without such naughtiness. Could it be that troops not coming through the Teleportation Array were wild kids with untamed nature? Was this a setting in the game? And on the other side of the ship, where the banshees couldn¡¯t fire at the monsters, they were anxiously wailing. If it weren¡¯t for those with no cannon positions playing with building blocks eyeing their positions covetously, they would have rushed over to snatch cannons. No way, can¡¯t play with them anymore. Da Fei had business to attend to. Da Fei again called down skilled artillerymen to replace them. ¡°Waaahhh!¡± All over the ship, the little devils wailed loudly clinging to the Crossbow Cannons refusing to come down. Da Fei was dumbfounded yet again! This was the second time they defied the commander¡¯s order! What was this? Was this the so-called inherent rebelliousness of being an elite unit? Or were they designed in the game as naughty, troublesome little brats? Da Fei gritted his teeth, fine, I¡¯ll play with you! As the saying goes, mischievous kids have the most potential when they grow up! Moreover, play is the primary drive for learning, since they love playing with cannons so much, there¡¯s no reason they can¡¯t learn advanced skills! So continue! The battle soon concluded; aside from missed shots and fatalities, for a while the island was blood-soaked with corpses everywhere, even though these little banshees¡¯ Crossbow power was weak, but the opponents were also younglings, how could they withstand artillery shelling? Finally, with nothing else to bombard, the little banshees began firing at the central Big Demon Nest. The power was utterly pathetic! It was akin to soldiers engaging in hand-to-hand combat with buildings. Fine, deploy troops instead. Just then, a white light flashed! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You successfully raised the Elite Demon Infant¡¯s War Machine Science to Intermediate level, the Elite Demon Infant¡¯s attributes have increased, Attack +2, Defense +1, Life +3. ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have developed a brand-new troop type, and you comprehended the Advanced Special Soldier Training Technique! ¡ª-System Prompt: You obtained information about Master-level War Machine Science. Haha! Wahahaha! After messaging over fifty times, I¡¯ve finally leveled up to Advanced Special Soldier Skills! Whether this success was a coincidence, cultivated by combat, or a result of her continuous growth and comprehension, it doesn¡¯t matter. The important thing is, the training skill has improved, making nurturing them easier! With the first one, can the second be far behind? And even more importantly, this still doesn¡¯t cost any money! Da Fei immediately pulled out a pastry and called to the entire cabin, ¡°Everyone see this? She made progress in learning, so she gets a treat! You all need to study hard!¡± Instantly, the entire cabin turned their little eyes toward him and cheered collectively! Not bad, the little devils understood, proving they were indeed elites! Da Fei handed over the pastry to the little baby with hands raised high, face full of thirst, and patted her head with a smile, ¡°You did well, I¡¯m rewarding you with a break to eat, making everyone envious of you!¡± ¡°Oh oh!¡± The little banshee joyfully accepted the pastry and left the machine. Oh yeah! Success! Thankfully, she didn¡¯t cling to the machine. But having been trained so many times, her stamina was probably drained, and she couldn¡¯t play anymore. Anyway, next one in line. In a blink, the vacant cannon position was immediately occupied by a sharp-eyed little banshee playing with building blocks! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but laugh heartily. Although they were little devils, judging by their performance, they were entirely different from those wooden NPC soldiers. They were truly troops with souls!

Wahahaha! Success on the first try! Indeed, upgrading a skill level made all the difference, meaning now training them all to intermediate poses no obstacle, and advanced is in sight!

Chapter 166 - Chapter 166 Chapter 161 The Reward of the Resentful Elf Heart Chapter 166: Chapter 161: The Reward of the Resentful Elf Heart Chapter 166: Chapter 161: The Reward of the Resentful Elf Heart The white light flashed, and the 44th Little Banshee successfully advanced to Intermediate War Machine Skill. As expected, after Da Fei¡¯s special soldier training skill was upgraded to advanced, all the remaining Little Banshees succeeded in one go! This feeling of having everything under control was simply wonderful! Just by working hard, success could be achieved. This phrase usually didn¡¯t apply to advancing to Grandmaster. But now it did apply to Da Fei because he possessed the most complementary level-up skills and training breeds. With outstanding students and a wise and mighty instructor, success was inevitable; the only question was how far away it was. Da Fei felt both pained and thrilled! The pain was that they were extremely mischievous, disobedient, and every time they landed on an island, they insisted on eliminating every enemy before reluctantly destroying the Demon Nests. Their low attributes and weak Crossbow Cannon power led to the slow destruction of the nests. What the slow progress meant for Da Fei was unknown; anyway, Mrs. Anwen had warned before going to rest that nothing good could come of it. Moreover, failing to end the National War soon could also spell changes back with Deirdre. But the thrill was that these Little Banshees had astonishing attributes and limitless potential! ¨CGrowing Elite Demon Infant: Attack 12, Defense 6, Damage 2-6, Life 22, Command Value 0, Attack Speed 8, Special Skill: Flying Creature, Intermediate War Machine Skill. Had Da Fei not already been accustomed to Didi and Lili¡¯s growth, he would have been excitedly amazed to see these infants reaching the level of a 3rd or 4th adult soldier at such an early stage. The artillery power of a gunner was related to skill level and total attribute points, and their attributes had already approached those of a skilled seaman gunner with 10 Attack and 10 Defense attribute points. Rising to Advanced Cannon Skill could barely replace them. And wasn¡¯t upgrading to advanced the next step? So, during this critical period of their development, Da Fei decided to endure the pain and nurture them all the way. Cultivating them also meant cultivating himself! As for the crisis concerns, it was still Mrs. Anwen¡¯s realistic female perspective: compared to the clearly visible benefits, those unforeseeable crises might as well be ignored. That¡¯s right, in life, how many people aren¡¯t just focusing on immediate interests? Visionaries are either big figures or transmigrators; neither seems reliable. At this moment, the Gun Cabin had apparently become a Children¡¯s Carnival. Selvia, who had finished resting, came over to maintain order. Various snacks from the kitchen were stacked on fishing benches as reward tables, and the hammock to cure sailors¡¯ insomnia hung between the lower deck¡¯s mast and cabin top as a rest reward. In short, understanding advanced skills definitely had a higher failure rate and was more strenuous than intermediate skills, so the little red flower kindergarten system had to be implemented. After resting, it was time to challenge the advanced skills. Fail! Continue! Fail! Continue! Out of stamina, rest. Swap out, continue. To Da Fei, who had already had a glimpse into the Grandmaster level promotion path, he could completely and confidently shout, ¡°Failure is the mother of success.¡± Come on, let countless failures build the foundation for my success! Time ticked by slowly. Under the Little Banshees¡¯ fierce bombardment, the Demon Nest finally collapsed, and the Flying could finally embark on a new journey. The progress was indeed slow, sigh, continue being successful dear mother. Flying once again passed by a large island, the beach densely populated with giant spiders the size of adult humans. Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched. Another Spider Demon Worm Nest? This was the third one encountered! And at that moment, the Crossbow Cannons in the Gun Cabin roared simultaneously, and the Little Banshees, excited beyond measure, started randomly firing at the shore. And just like that, it was as if a hornet¡¯s nest had been stirred. The entire Spider Demon Island¡¯s spiders began shrieking, and a huge golden spider emerged from underground at the island¡¯s Demon Nest, sprinting toward the shore. Da Fei was taken aback. Another so-called Guardian? What was the point of charging here? Did it intend to swim? I don¡¯t believe it! The giant spider covered the equivalent of dozens of human steps within moments, reaching the shore¨Csplush! A massive spray of mucus was aimed at the Flying, expanding into a giant web umbrella in the air, casting downwards! Da Fei widened his eyes in shock! Are you kidding me? As a God-level Boss, can you really net such a big ship like mine? Impossible! ¨CBang! The giant web covered the Flying. Although it didn¡¯t visibly hinder the Flying¡¯s forward motion, it did establish a spider silk bridge between the giant spider and the Flying. In an instant, the numerous giant spiders on the island began boarding the Flying via this spider silk bridge! What kind of high-tech was this! Da Fei¡¯s scalp tingled with shock! Hit it! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CBoom smack! Boom boom smack! Before Da Fei could even give an order, the group of Little Banshees had already screamed and started firing. The explosions and splatters of blood were everywhere, the giant spider feeling pain and clawing with its eight legs, instantly clawed a massive pit into the beach and burrowed underground! Damn! Withstanding the blast from over a dozen Crossbow Cannons! Was it because the Little Banshees¡¯ power was too weak? Although the monster had burrowed, the spider bridge remained, and a horde of spiders had already passed mid-way! The giant spider burrowed, so the Little Banshees focused their attention on the spiders crawling over the spider silk, and amidst the bloodburst, a large number of spiders fell into the sea. Then fight! I don¡¯t believe it; no matter how elite you are, you were still born on the same day with this bunch of kids on the ship, just a monstrous size, that¡¯s all. Da Fei hurriedly brought the Druid Flower Demon Army onto the deck. At this moment, the entire Flying was wrapped into a mass, unable to exert the Flower Demon¡¯s Air Force advantage. No matter, I¡¯m a hero, I can¡¯t believe I can¡¯t stomp on a graduating kindergarten class! Chapter 167 - Chapter 167 Chapter 161 The Reward of the Resentful Elfs Chapter 167: Chapter 161: The Reward of the Resentful Elf¡¯s Heart_2 Chapter 167: Chapter 161: The Reward of the Resentful Elf¡¯s Heart_2 Golden light descended from the sky, Selvia bestowed upon the troops the Righteous Power of +15 Attack and the Power of Tenacity of +15 Defense. With such a huge advantage in offense and defense, what hope do you big fellows have left? Even under the double long-range firepower blockade from Crossbow Cannons and Druids, a large number of spiders still managed to reach the Flying, spewing spider silk mucus at Da Fei¡¯s formations and swooping down. Da Fei¡¯s troops were covered in a thick layer of sticky mucus, drastically reducing their Attack Speed and Move Speed, and this mucus could not even be purified by the Forest Goddess¡¯s Magic Purification! Da Fei was suddenly shocked! Last time it was just poison fog, this time they actually stuck to people too! This Spider Demon really should not be underestimated! As Spider Demons continuously pounced down, green fog pervaded Da Fei¡¯s formation, enveloping it in chaos, the situation was indeed dire. Now that the troops are stuck and difficult to maneuver, Da Fei had no choice but to immediately pull Selvia into the cabin corridor, barricading himself at the cabin door, with Didi and Lili shooting from behind him. As the BOSS, as long as their heavy firepower of Chain Shooting was still active, and Selvia¡¯s Grandmaster meditation just healing Da Fei alone, Da Fei was confident he could last until the end! True, considering their seemingly endless numbers, Da Fei had already prepared for the worst-case scenario of being entirely wiped out on the deck. Just then, Da Fei clearly saw some large spiders with the light of shattered rainbows symbolizing Misfortune rising above their heads, further boosting his confidence. That¡¯s right, aboard the Ship of Misfortune, with the Misfortune Hourglass in hand, boarding my ship means you¡¯re recognizing your own bad luck! ¡­ Pool of Radiance, the center of attention. With a loud bang, a golden light descended from the sky and Deirdre leveled up again! Hell players from various countries cheered in anticipation! ¨CBang! Bang! Two Crossbow Arrows were fired, two sparks exploded magnificently on the city wall! Under the Compulsory Sub-Skills of Advanced War Machine Science, Deirdre, as a Crossbow Master, met the audience¡¯s expectations with the most rational allocation of points, causing the entire battlefield to explode with action! This spear vs shield showdown seemed likely to decide the victor soon. Elf Kingdom Staff Department. Several Elf officers were nervously gathered around two maps. ¡°The enemy has sent a Super Hero, our city wall Arrow Towers are completely ineffective! We can¡¯t keep passively taking hits like this, once the city wall is breached, our forces might fail!¡± ¡°The situation in Nasir Wisdom Ancient Tree Space continues to deteriorate, already beginning to threaten the foundation of the World Tree, which would weaken the self-healing ability of the World Tree.¡± ¡°The enemy has already contaminated 37 main roots; the situation is critical!¡± ¡°Where is our Super Hero? Is he still fighting?¡± ¡°We¡¯ve lost contact with our Super Hero!¡± Listening to the NPC officers shouting around him, Eternal Star remained expressionless. True, it¡¯s not that Bu Feiyan, the guild¡¯s number one beauty, was making slow progress in the Nasir Wisdom Ancient Tree Space because of her lack of skill. Actually, if it had been anyone else, they would have long been killed by the constantly shifting scenes. After all, a pure combat-type hero might not be the best at handling quests; it was a misplacement of personnel. Then again, because of this suddenly emerging female cannon hero, the tide of the battle had reversed, and it was very likely to be lost. Actually, it wasn¡¯t suddenly; the Indian Zone had already realized that she was the key to breaking the situation, right? Unexpectedly, the gaming level of the Indian Zone is this high! Truly a formidable opponent in future National Wars! Amid his anxiety, an officer exclaimed, ¡°Not good, the enemy¡¯s Super Hero has leveled up again! Our city wall situation is becoming more severe!¡± ¡°Warriors!¡± the Great Elder spoke, ¡°You must eliminate the enemy¡¯s Super Hero!¡± Everyone knows it¡¯s necessary to eliminate [the hero], but the problem is their tight encirclement! Can¡¯t you spare some troops? The forces from Hell are directly replenished according to the remaining Command Power! Eternal Star retorted grumpily: ¡°If we can¡¯t eliminate the enemy¡¯s Super Hero, what should we do?¡± Great Elder, also frustrated, said, ¡°Of course we would surrender, what else can we do?¡± Eternal Star exclaimed in shock, ¡°Surrender? What about if the World Tree is destroyed?¡± The Great Elder sighed deeply, ¡°The World Tree connects multiple worlds; once the World Tree is destroyed our entire world along with many others will collapse together. I believe, Demons still have some decency and limits. Their goal should probably be just to reduce the production of World Tree Fruit and Flower Demons¡­ Anyway, you must succeed!¡± Eternal Star again remained expressionless, taking NPC seriously, that¡¯s truly losing indeed. Just then, a sudden stir erupted around the Pool of Radiance, Deirdre¡¯s cannon fell silent, to be exact, after bombarding for so long, there was no ammunition left. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only She had to go back and replenish her ammunition and report on the battle, inevitably, Japan could only send someone to escort her home. And at this time, it was naturally the Indian Zone and China¡¯s territory behind the battle lines where the turmoil would start. It¡¯s probably about time, Eternal Star gave the order, and the four mighty gates of Water City abruptly opened, Nasir¡¯s long-prepared Druid main force flowed out like a flood escaping the gates, instantly boiling the, until now silent, World Channel. ¡­ Abyss Blood Pool, although the fight was tough, the ¡°Hero with treasures vs Kindergarten class¡± battle had no suspense, all advancing Spider Demons were annihilated, of course, our forces also suffered casualties ¡­ anyway, with Selvia¡¯s Great Resurrection Technique, a complete victory was inevitable. Now, only that special huge spider that buried itself in the sand on the other end remained. As the class head of the big fellows, probably that¡¯s the level of its intelligence. The Flying approached the shore, this distance was the full damage position for the Crossbow Cannon. Chapter 168 - Chapter 168 Chapter 161 Reward from the Resented Elfs Heart_3 Chapter 168: Chapter 161: Reward from the Resented Elf¡¯s Heart_3 Chapter 168: Chapter 161: Reward from the Resented Elf¡¯s Heart_3 Da Fei arrived at the gun cabin, pulled out a small handful of gold coins, and chuckled, ¡°Classmates, whoever can blast the guy buried in the ground out, will get a reward from me!¡± Hmph, food and drink are no longer enough to satisfy these kids. Sure enough, the Little Banshees cheered, looking through their precious telescopes at the faint traces on the beach, while adjusting the aim of the crossbow cannon. Wow! This setup made Da Fei marvel! These little guys really know how to use treasures, huh? People use telescopes for sniper rifles, but these are sniper cannons? Even cooler, huh? Boom boom boom boom! Several crossbow arrows whistled towards the beach, blasting up columns of blood into the sky! Oh yeah! ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! You have killed the Spider Demon Worm Nest Trial Guardian Hero. You have won the campaign, you gain +260,000 experience. Your hate value with the Spider Demon clan has increased by +10,000. ¡ª System Prompt: You have achieved ¡°Victory in the 8th Battle¡± gaining +10 Command Power. You have also achieved ¡°Victory in a Glorious Battle¡± gaining +20 Command Power and +20 Hero Life. ¡ª System Prompt: After the fierce combat, your Elite Banshee Infant army has grown tremendously. Da Fei, shocked and agape, exclaimed, ¡°You can¡¯t play like this, right! That thing was a hero? So you¡¯re saying they can baptize heroes through this Demon God ritual? That¡¯s too powerful!¡± It seems the Spider Demon clan is indeed powerful, totally not on the same level as other Demon Races. Anyway, given how tough this fight was, it¡¯s totally worth it to wipe out their nest. There should still be golden spider silk in the nest, right? Anyway, time is precious, so Da Fei sends Serbia with the Sailor Flower Demon and other robust soldiers to land and destroy the nest. As for himself, he naturally stays on board with Captain training the naughty Little Banshees. After the battle had ended, they all flashed with a white light, and their bodies turned into young girls, very good, very good! ¡ª System Prompt: You have used the ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± skill on your Elite Banshee Infants, you have successfully taught them ¡°Advanced War Machine Technology¡±! ¡ª System Prompt: You have obtained information about Master-level War Machine Science. ¡ª System Prompt: You have obtained information about Expert Level Special Soldier Training. Oh yeah! Successful at once! So it means, they have to grow up physically before they can keep up with the classes, huh? Hahaha, so it is! But who knows whether it¡¯s the merit of early education? Anyway, I smoothly got through the advanced level, expert level is just around the corner! Next one! Hahaha! Just as Da Fei¡¯s advanced classes were going like a blitz, Serbia reported back her achievements. ¡ª System Prompt: Your vice heroine Serbia has destroyed the Demon Nest, you gain +60,000 experience, +100 prestige. You have obtained major spoils of war, golden spider silk. ¡ª Task Hint: ¡°Attack Abyss Blood Pool¡± mission current completion progress: Destroyed nests 65/100. And at that moment, a cold fog appeared again in front of Da Fei, a familiar sharp voice rang out, ¡°Well done! Your actions prove your sincerity in avenging me, but it¡¯s not enough, it¡¯s not enough to appease my grudge, you must annihilate these maggots!!! To show my sincerity, I will let you see my reward! As long as you do a good job, you will always receive my reward!¡± ¡ª Task Hint: Your Ranger skill level temporarily increased by +1, you have temporarily taken on the ¡°Basic-level Ranger¡± part-time job.

The hero¡¯s troops are not limited to the Elf Clan. This time, Da Fei was truly astonished! So the meaning of Ranger skill +1 is that a person can also hold the job, no, part-time job! Part-time job! Part-time at a main hero profession only available to Elves! This is a main hero profession! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Awesome! No wonder this hidden task was kept so secretive, the reward is indeed amazing! (To be continued. If you like this piece, feel free to recommend, vote monthly tickets on Qidian (wuxiaworld.site).

Chapter 169 - Chapter 169 Chapter 162 US UKs Noahs Ark Plan Chapter 169: Chapter 162 US, UK¡¯s Noah¡¯s Ark Plan Chapter 169: Chapter 162 US, UK¡¯s Noah¡¯s Ark Plan ¡± Ranger, previously introduced as one of the two main hero professions of the Elf Clan, increased troop damage by 5% and Move Speed by 5% for every Professional Skill Level advanced, with an additional 10% damage against adversaries. Players automatically gained 1 Attack point plus 1 free attribute point for each level-up. The Elf Clan was naturally vengeful, making the Ranger suitable for PK. Their features included adversary memory and adversary strikes, with sub-skills deadly to the extreme. However, main hero professions in the game were restricted by racial alignments, meaning human newbies couldn¡¯t become Elf Rangers or Druids. Yet, Da Fei, as a human, managed to take on the profession of Ranger! And not just that, but as a secondary job! How was it done? Could the hate power of this Resentful Spirit be so overwhelming that it transcended racial restrictions? Indeed, it was a hidden quest, anything was possible! Especially with such a deeply hidden quest¨Chow many could uncover it globally? However, Da Fei¡¯s secondary Ranger wasn¡¯t a full-fledged version. Firstly, he lacked the 10% adversary strike attribute. Secondly, the attribute point bonus was only half that of a bona fide Ranger. But even with only half attribute point enhancement, the 1 level for 1 Attack was more formidable than the current Advanced Navigator needing 3 levels to get 1 attribute point for sure! So, taking on a secondary Ranger, even as a Basic-level Ranger for life, meant Da Fei gained 1 more Attack per level-up than regular players! Not to mention a free hidden sub-skill with a 10% critical hit against Demons! At this moment, staring at the newly added Ranger icon in his skill bar and seeing his Attack blow up from 20 to 50, Da Fei was so shocked he couldn¡¯t breathe! A 30-point Attack boost! With 1 Attack increasing troop damage by 5%, this was a 150% damage increase! There were demons everywhere; with his Hate Strike¡¯s 10% chance combined with his luck for a critical hit, wouldn¡¯t they crush everything to pieces like a kindergarten? With a secondary Navigator, Da Fei could already see himself as a self-proclaimed God-level Hero. Taking on a secondary Ranger was beyond heaven-defying! However, this Ranger was temporary, just a legendary trial before payment! Oh crap! Now he¡¯s tasted the sweetness, how could he resist? Meaning he had to wipe out all Spider Demon Nests completely! As the previous battle showed, as time passed, Spider Demon Nests would spawn hero units, making the fight increasingly difficult. But with Da Fei as a temporary Ranger, wasn¡¯t he also incredibly powerful? Then demolish them! Da Fei was ready for battle! The current mission was to search for the Spider Demon Nest. Da Fei immediately called for Didi and Lili: ¡°I¡¯m giving you a tough task, but you must come back safe and sound¡­¡± They both laughed: ¡°Just a mere kindergarten¡­¡± Alright, despite being 1000 health BOSSes, caution couldn¡¯t be neglected. Even kindergartens could have characters like Detective Conan whose glaring glance spelled doom. Didi and Lili went separate ways to scout. Then, of course, it was time to train Banshee Artillery intensively. ¡­ The Pool of Radiance, rumbling thunder. Star¡¯s main force, having accumulated a large number of Druids, surged like a floodgate bursting forth to kill, while the Hellish Alliance Army wasn¡¯t blind; countless fireballs roared in amidst the lightning and firelight, accompanied by golden light healing and Dark Healing. The climax of the battle formally began. Blood Sea Wave, waiting for a long time, was intertwined among the main troops, carrying the expectations and responsibilities of the new partner Star Guild. Then, stealthily diving like a Water Ghost to ambush the enemy troops amidst the chaos. Blood Sea Wave¡¯s battle report again became the startling highlight of the battlefield. In this first National War of the new game server, Blood Sea Wave was undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary. Domestically, he established cooperative relationships simultaneously with two large guilds, Dragon Slayer and Star. The olive branch from the third largest guild Ninth Heaven would likely arrive soon. This was true profit, a different league altogether from the minor game rewards from player kills and petty merits snatching. And then there was the harvest of immense fame in this naval battle, where both Star and the so-called God-level Heroes of various countries faded into the crowd. Blood Sea Wave truly became a World-class star hero, and it wouldn¡¯t be long before this fame brought tremendous benefits. In summary, regardless of the outcome of this National War, Blood Sea Wave was the greatest victor. Perhaps it was time to tweak the studio¡¯s initial pirate ship-building foundation development path, to be more like a righteous pirate akin to Onepiece? Meanwhile, in this indifferent National War, the U.S. Supernova Team, having maintained a watchful stance, gathered enough intelligence from all nations, indicating it was time to adjust their strategy. Without a doubt, the focus of adjustment revolved around ¡°Dafei¡± and ¡°Blood Sea Wave,¡± these two Chinese players. One possessed a giant ship several eras ahead, the other had Frogman special skills; both scenarios were nightmares for current medium-small vessels. Fortunately, these two men adhered to the Chinese tradition of ¡°two tigers cannot live on one mountain,¡± preferring internal strife; if they ever allied, the world would lose sea power. Thus, the United States had to accelerate its entry into the era of giant ships, but how easy was that? While the U.S. Supernova Team valued naval development, they equally prioritized army development; after all, the U.S. played for global strategy comprehensiveness in tandem. So, the old playbook¨Ccooperate with allies. At this moment, Fortson, the Captain America of the Supernova Team, gave a hotline call to his closest ally, old friend George VIII of the British Royal Ark Team. Don¡¯t doubt it, not only was George VIII his game name, but he was also a British royal crown heir! Britain placed high regard for this game, so dispatched a crown heir and even a Princess Mary to lead personally. Embodied by the world-renowned British gentlemanly tradition, the 26-year-old George VIII was sophisticated and outstanding in appearance, excelling in stealth and golf among others, making his every word and deed and attire style eagerly followed by British youth, an indisputable national idol and royal spokesperson. British men must serve in the army, and the crown heir was no exception. At 18, George enlisted, specifically requesting to go to the harshest anti-terror frontline, where he met then-U.S. Lieutenant Fortson. An elegant British man like a swan unbelievably became best friends with a wild American man like a beast. They maintained this fervent friendship even after retirement. At this moment, George VIII leisurely rode through the manor¡¯s lawns on a horseback afternoon stroll, wearing a limited-edition custom game helmet with a gentleman hat design. He also kept tabs on this heart-gripping war in the China Region. The phone rang. He gently laughed, ¡°Old friend, good evening?¡± The other side burst into laughter, ¡°Oh! Hearing your voice always turns a bad night into good! So, how about the Noah¡¯s Ark project? Let¡¯s collaborate!¡± George chuckled, ¡°Old friend, should we take the time to meet in person? Perhaps sunbathe on Bali¡¯s beaches¡­¡± The other side roared, ¡°I can¡¯t wait! Send your private jet to fetch me!¡± The Noah¡¯s Ark project, a super task triggered by a British player at the Newbie Village, with its endgame location involving the New World, so the task was currently at a standstill. Clearly, the Newbie Village that could trigger a super task wasn¡¯t just any regular village, at least of the caliber like Da Fei¡¯s and Blood Sea Wave¡¯s village, meaning this British player was also a God-level Hero. And the Noah¡¯s Ark was a legendary ship used by Saints, beyond ordinary mortals¡¯ reach, implying this God-level Hero¡¯s rank was freaking Great Demon Level like SawSaw. Fine, to cut to the chase, this player was Lancelot, the Chief Knight of the British Royal Ark Team, with a lineage of level-7 unit Angels! Don¡¯t be surprised; as a nation¡¯s Head, high-end atmospheric-grade, cool and wild, spectacular¨Cis necessary! In fact, due to triggering this task from the get-go, the British Zone named their team ¡°Royal Ark.¡± Naturally, Lancelot¡¯s identity was the British Zone¡¯s highest secret, known only to the closest U.S. allies. To achieve the Ark project in the New World task zone, the difficulty was beyond the British single strength and demanded American support. Overall, there was another super battleship undergoing repair in the world; Da Fei¡¯s battleship wasn¡¯t the only one. ¡­ The Pool of Radiance, Hell Frontline was a whirlwind of thunder and fire, with chaotic pushing and shoving of clumsy teammates happening in the back. Under the protection of Chinese, Japanese, and Indian players, Deirdre returned to the Demon Camp to report to Master Siriel. At this moment, Master Siriel was soaking in the Lava Pool, continually summoning Fire Elements, replenishing the troops of players who perished and returned. His entire body was charred black as coal; his former flaming dignified appearance was no more. Deirdre couldn¡¯t help but tear up, ¡°Master, you¡¯re like a candle burning till it cries!¡± Siriel said solemnly, ¡°This is our opportunity to enter the Empire-dominant ranks. Whatever it takes, we must win this fight. Listen carefully, the Super Hero of the Elf Clan caused substantial damage to the Abyss Pool; how the furious Demon King handles it isn¡¯t our concern. All we know is, we must achieve greater results to appease the Demon King¡¯s wrath. You must seize this opportunity.¡± Deirdre numbly nodded for a while, ¡°I understand.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only At this moment, the golden barrier of the World Tree onshore swelled with golden light, causing all nearby Magic Watchtowers to flash abruptly. Deirdre and the players were taken aback. Siriel shook his head, ¡°No big deal, the captive Flower Demons on the Watchtowers ran out of energy and can¡¯t continue eroding the barrier. And now, with the tense battle, there¡¯s no World Tree sap to replenish their energy. Let¡¯s execute these useless ones.¡± Deirdre¡¯s brow twitched, ¡°Master, I have a way to recharge the power of those Flower Demons; hand them to me. I¡¯ll make them useful to me.¡± Siriel nonchalantly said, ¡°Whatever you think is best.¡± (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote and cast monthly tickets for it on Qidian. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read it at m.wuxiaworld.site.) ¡± Chapter 170 - Chapter 170 Chapter 163 Flower Demon Waste Utilization Chapter 170: Chapter 163: Flower Demon Waste Utilization? Chapter 170: Chapter 163: Flower Demon Waste Utilization? The Flower Demon captives at the Watchtower have been sought by Da Fei for rescue to no avail. Demons used the special Array atop the Watchtower to bind them, extracting their energy, and then used it to dissolve the World Tree¡¯s barrier. The energy-depleted Flower Demons were then fed with the World Tree sap drawn by the beetles of the Pool of Radiance; revived with energy, they were continued to be pressed by the demons. In short, a virtuous cycle, regenerated for reuse. With the outbreak of the National War, due to Da Fei¡¯s early clearing and the fierce fighting that followed, a large number of beetles were destroyed, and there was no longer enough World Tree sap to recover the Flower Demons, so just now Siriel decided to simply execute them. However, now these thousands of weary Flower Demons have avoided death and fallen into the trustworthy hands of Deirdre. These thousands of combat-incapable Flower Demons, like goods, were piled in the open cargo holds of ten giant paddle ships. What does she want to do? How will she use these Flower Demons? Players from China, Japan, and India at the site immediately sensed the scent of a favorability mission. Perhaps, at the end of this National War, this was also the last chance for a decisive victory, and they crowded forward to flatter, ¡°Officer, do you need our help?¡± This chorus of officers made Deirdre¡¯s heart blossom with joy, and she waved her hands and laughed, ¡°I am only a student of the instructor, not an officer yet.¡± The crowd flattered immediately: ¡°Sooner or later, you¡¯ll be the officer!¡± ¡°In my heart, Miss is already the officer!¡± The Japanese player even said with an astonishing tone: ¡°With my assistance, Miss will definitely be the officer, big time!¡± Deirdre smiled sweetly: ¡°It¡¯s really great to have everyone¡¯s help. It would be a pity to just kill these Flower Demons, I will try to make use of the waste. It¡¯s better if it¡¯s successful, and it doesn¡¯t matter if it fails. So please help me transport¨C¡± Before she could finish, players from various countries immediately rushed onto the ship transporting the Flower Demons to seize their positions! Indeed, they are all experts. Now, Deirdre led this fleet of Flower Demon ships into the Pool of Radiance, with other players escorting on both sides. The fleet sailed far away from the main battlefield, which certainly put everyone at ease to some extent. Somehow, it seemed that the Indian and Japanese players had joined forces again, starting to sideline the Chinese players. Perhaps they had made phone calls in private or quickly reconciled with the mediation of the United States. In any case, the brief cooperation between Dragon Slayer and India had ended. The reason was simple: Japan and India still had to dispatch troops to fight at the front line, while the Chinese players didn¡¯t go to the front line at all. With a vast array of Five-star Red Flags following Deirdre, it was clearly a ready-to-PK stance, which made Japan and India anxious. Deirdre came to a Flower Demon barracks at the base of a tree root that had not yet been polluted by thick smoke. The barracks above had been reclaimed by the Spider Demon reinforcements and wrapped into thick clusters with spider silk. ¨CBoom! Boom! Two shots from the Crossbow Cannon! The huge cocoon burst into sparks, and the spiders inside let out a piercing scream! And at this moment, Deirdre¡¯s name turned into a red name! The players on the scene were shocked and in uproar! What was she doing? Attacking her own people? According to the rules of the battlefield, such non-accidental incidents should be defined as betrayal? But there was no change in favorability? Maybe this was the necessary path she had to use the Flower Demons? For a time, players from various countries looked at each other in dismay! ¨CBoom! Boom! Amid the continuous bombardment of the Crossbow Cannon, the huge silken cocoon was peeled off, revealing a devastated Flower Demon barracks. Deirdre shouted: ¡°Wastes, this is your last chance to live and return home. Those who can return, return; those who cannot, die at your doorstep!¡± Suddenly, the Flower Demon Instructors in the cargo hold stirred; they were stronger than the ordinary Flower Demons. They struggled and shakily flew into the barracks, thumping down, and at the same time, a faint green light flashed in the barracks. This light was clearly the symbol of the World Tree supplying energy to the barracks! So that¡¯s how it is! Many of the players present are masters, and they certainly know that the barracks can restore the stamina and health of the wounded soldiers. Even though this method is highly suspicious of betrayal, so what? Everyone¡¯s goal is to woo her, and they not only need to fully support whatever she wants to do but also help her with it! The Indian players responded first, instantly forming a human ladder in the shape of the character ¡°Zhong ¡± with astounding speed and cooperation, climbing directly from the ship on the water to the barracks in the tree! Then the people below the ladder continuously passed the Flower Demons from the ship to the barracks! ¡°Wow!!! That works too!¡± ¡°They must be cheating!¡± All the players were thunderstruck! Right, this is India¡¯s signature move, conquering countless audiences from all over the world in every annual military parade! They can ride a motorcycle with a dozen people and instantly form a Peacock Ming King¡¯s flamboyant fighting style, incredibly cool and impressive! Faced with the cheating India, the Chinese players led by Dragon Slayer were dumbfounded and felt overwhelmed with a sense of inferiority and depression, as if they were not playing the same game. It seems that the only way left is the old method, to clear the field with a red name after successful completion! With the help of the Indian players, a barracks was quickly filled with hundreds of Flower Demons, and as more and more Flower Demons entered, the entire surroundings of the barracks began to flash with a faint green light, noticeably speeding up the recovery. Deirdre was very pleased: ¡°Thank you, everyone. On to the next target!¡± For a moment, the Indian players were in a frenzy of celebration. Needless to say, the favorability of the Indian players had risen! Lei Huolong was grinding his teeth with intense hatred. Now, the main battlefield was raging with intense action, while Deirdre¡¯s fleet in the corner of the battlefield also drew puzzled looks from teams around the world. A main Super Hero not joining the battle, but instead doing something here. What important role could this play in the entire campaign? Although it was puzzling, the Indian Zone and Japan had already begun to send reinforcements to Deirdre¡¯s fleet, of course, to prevent the players from the China Region from rebelling. This relieved some pressure from Star, who was under heavy stress on the main battlefield. ¡­¡­. At the Abyss Blood Pool, the Blood Moon hangs in the sky like a curved hook, and at the same time, another Waning Moon slowly rises from the sea on the other side of the sky. It turns out the Demon World has more than one moon! Which means, under the illumination of two moons, the kindergarten students of Demonology will grow in strength at least twice as fast! Da Fei finally understood what the old lady meant by saying that the longer it takes, the more disadvantageous it is. Right, why has the old lady been resting for so long? Did she really exhausting herself? She wouldn¡¯t be in trouble, would she? Da Fei suddenly felt uneasy. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Just then, a green dot on the map rapidly approached ¨C Didi was back! Da Fei hurriedly went out of the cabin to inquire: ¡°How was it? Did you find anything?¡± Didi nodded: ¡°Found it, it¡¯s very strong!¡± The stronger, the better! If drowning those who can swim and beating the stubborn to death is the strategy, Brother has been charging at the experts and unable to overcome because the students¡¯ stamina is not up to par, they need a big battle to toughen up! Da Fei waved his hand grandly: ¡°Set off!¡± (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets on Qidian (wuxiaworld.site).

Chapter 171 - Chapter 171 Chapter 164 Another Bloodsucking Scroll Revealed Chapter 171: Chapter 164: Another Bloodsucking Scroll Revealed Chapter 171: Chapter 164: Another Bloodsucking Scroll Revealed Off the coast of Spider Demon Island, with the experience from the last battle, Da Fei arranged the Flower Demon Army in the air behind the ship, on standby, to avoid being wiped out in one go and not being able to utilize the advantage of the air force. At the same time, Da Fei handed over the Flower Demon Army entirely to Catherine¡¯s command. Catherine with her Master-level Attack Skill and Master-level Pirate, increases troop damage by 100%. Then those 29 high-technical skilled artillery personnel, squeezed out by the brats, were placed on the frontline against the enemy, surrounding the Druids at long range. These sailors are the highest-end beings that can be hired with money in the harbor, at a solid level 4 soldier standard, capable of operating cannons, fighting, and steering ships. If it weren¡¯t for Da Fei picking up a cheap task to hire them, ordinarily losing one would mean paying compensation at a level 4 soldier recruitment price and reducing the player¡¯s reputation. Then the Flying opened its gun ports, its body broadside, bombarding the giant spiders on the beach to lure the enemy into moving. The same scene appeared again. Accompanied by the spiders¡¯ screams, a giant golden spider rushed out from the middle of the island. This time, Da Fei clearly saw the small golden Hero Aura beneath it. Golden auras were something Da Fei had never seen before, and he didn¡¯t know which profession¡¯s hero it belonged to, but he guessed it must be pretty awesome. However, Da Fei has also changed since then, taking on the role of a temporary ranger with attacks and critical hits galore, and with even more favorable terrain, completely capable of winning despite being outnumbered ¨C it¡¯s just a fight to the death and then resurrection. Still, a big web quickly formed a bridge between the hero and the Flying, but to Da Fei¡¯s surprise, the Crossbow Cannon couldn¡¯t reach its position ¨C this creature¡¯s range was even further than the cannon¡¯s! What in the world was this? Fortunately, the Flower Demon Army, positioned far away, was not entangled in the web. The entire island¡¯s spiders swarmed forward, beginning their march across the narrow bridge. The so-called strategy of striking in the middle of the crossing, Da Fei waved his big hand, controlling the Crossbow Cannon to fire three successive shots, and at the same time Catherine immediately ordered thousands of Flower Demons to pounce. The spiders crossing the bridge had almost no combat power to speak of; all they could do was charge! Countless spiders fell into the sea under the bombardment of the cannons and the air assault. Even so, a large number of spiders still managed to break through the line of fire and succesfully boarded the ship. Poison fog, spider webs exploded with a bang, and the boarding battle began. Upon engaging in battle, Da Fei immediately felt something was off. Although he had taken up the ranger role and his attacks had made a qualitative leap, instead of a crushing feeling against these elite spiders, the fight felt doubly hard. Their Blood Defense was that strong? Da Fei finally saw the flashy blood light emanating from the Spider Demons amidst the poison fog; it was Bloodsucking! Each of these Spider Demons had a Bloodsucking Skill! What the heck? Am I fighting a knock-off vampire here? The problem is, vampires of this elite kind couldn¡¯t possibly swarm in such great numbers to be cannon fodder, right? Da Fei couldn¡¯t remain calm. They¡¯re all kindergartners with red flowers, so why are these Spider Demons growing so shockingly well, while my brat army can¡¯t seem to get past the hurdle of Advanced Skills? Is the Spider Demon race that superior? Or is it that wild monsters that are incorporated by players get their strengths covertly reduced by the system? It was at this moment, a puff of black smoke flashed on the shore¨C the Spider Hero made its move. Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched with alarm; it was about to cast Magic! ¨CSystem Prompt: The Spider Demon Hero has cast Master-level ¡°Delay Magic¡± on your entire troops! Damn! It really can cast spells! And at that moment, Serbia¡¯s entire body flashed with golden light! The black smoke being gathered by the Spider Demon Hero¡¯s spell casting scattered abruptly, and its body ignited with raging blue flames. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Serbia used the skill ¡°Undying Light¡± to disrupt the enemy hero¡¯s Dark Magic. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Serbia used the skill ¡°Suppressing Darkness,¡± the enemy hero¡¯s Mana consumption increased by 100%. Da Fei was ecstatic beneath his astonishment! This was the first battle with the small heart Nun¡¯s Professional Skill! Specifically designed to counter Dark Magic, and it was even a combination of punches! So it meant that the blue flames burning all over the Spider was the Mana burning caused by Suppressing Darkness. The Spider Hero must be out of Mana after having burned away double of it in the spellcasting. Da Fei¡¯s heart instantly settled. And he couldn¡¯t help but feel secretly alarmed inside. Magic Heroes are undoubtedly Strategic Heroes, a single spell can change the course of battle. If it weren¡¯t for Serbia coincidentally countering the enemy, Da Fei couldn¡¯t imagine what would be the fate of his troops, already sprayed with sticky liquid and drastically reduced in Attack Speed, caught in the ¡°Delay Magic.¡± In fact, up until now, this was the first time Da Fei had faced a real deal Magic-casting hero troop, as before it was not much different than fighting wild monsters. Now the battle was underway there was no suspense left, Da Fei, holding the absolute advantages of Magic, terrain, and luck, annihilating the enemy army was only a matter of time. Finally, the last Spider Demon fell, leaving only a solitary Spider Demon Hero on the island. A lone commander, huh! Da Fei immediately directed the Flying to approach the shore of the island, just to enter Crossbow Cannon range and give it a salvo to send it on its way. But at this moment, the Spider Demon Hero dashed to the center of the island, to the mother nest, and assumed a defensive stance. Damn! Now Da Fei was in a tight spot! Can¡¯t bombard the center of the island with the Crossbow Cannon, so he has to disembark? Is this deliberately making things difficult for me since I¡¯m on such a tight schedule? Fine! Whether it¡¯s a duel or a melee, it¡¯s your choice ¨C for a duel, you face our whole group, for a melee, our whole group fights you alone! All troops disembark! Considering the insane damage of a BOSS hero, it¡¯s best to start with a Druid Lightning Bombardment! One lightning strike dealing 84 points of damage, 50 strikes ¨C that¡¯s 4000! Even if it has high Magic Resistance, that should give it a run for its money. As for the Flower Demons¡¯ Swarm, don¡¯t even think about it, they were immune just now when fighting ordinary spiders. With a deafening roar of thunder, the Spider Hero screamed pitifully, just then, a beam of blood light flashed from the Demon Nest behind it, connecting to the Spider Hero with a +1000! A large green number popped up! Apf! Da Fei sprayed on the spot! This Demon Nest can actually heal it, and so fiercely at that! But the battle had already started and there was no turning back; they had to confront it head-on! The Druids initiated combat with their long-range shooting, the hero charged over, its lifeline to the Demon Nest stretching as it moved, and once more a big +1000 popped up above its head! Da Fei¡¯s eyes narrowed in shock, damn! It¡¯s going to be fully healed! How can you beat this kind of healing? Surround it, all the Flower Demons, surround and attack! In an instant, the battlefield was engulfed in a flurry of pollen! Simultaneously, a barrage of notifications on immunity to pollen attacks and notifications of troop casualties flooded the screen. The Spider Hero¡¯s massive blade cut down row after row, its dual blades killing in seconds, as its tremendous body plowed through the ranks like a tank, slaughtering left and right! The Flower Demons that touched the lifeline were also instantly killed, their pained screams silenced in a flash! Da Fei¡¯s face turned ashen! No way, even with ten times the troops, they¡¯d be annihilated! Is it possible that, after laying waste to the enemy and leaving only their Commander, they¡¯d be wiped out by this sole Commander? What a joke, it¡¯s like cheating! This is blatantly the system cheating! With the situation critical and a wipeout imminent, Da Fei, with cold sweat dripping, turned his gaze to that unscientific blood lifeline! With the intuition of a master player, Da Fei immediately pointed at Didi and signaled: ¡°Fly up there, block that thing!¡± There must be something off about this bloodline! I refuse to believe that, while it can instantly kill Flower Demons, it can also kill a Banshee Boss with 1000 health! Didi soared into the sky, blocked the bloodline and, not only was she unharmed, but she also successfully severed the connection between the Spider Hero and the Demon Nest! Oh yeah! So that¡¯s how it is! This bloodline is harmless to the Demon Race! Now that the healing is cut off, I won¡¯t hold back! Smash it! Even without the bloodline¡¯s healing, the BOSS¡¯s Blood Defense was still formidable, and its Bloodsucking Skill was active. The practiced Uncle Monster Army and Druid Army were already wiped out; only the Flower Demons, with their sheer numbers, continued to besiege it. But once they lost the advantage of their overpowered special skill, the Flower Demons, mere cannon fodder at level 0, suffered horrendous casualties. Tears welled up in Da Fei¡¯s eyes, and his heart bled. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that he, as a commander, could not move lightly, Da Fei really wanted to rush in and fight it out. But just then, the ground of the battlefield started shaking violently! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen used Master-level Arcane Magic ¡°Summon Earth Element¡±! Da Fei turned around in great joy and saw Mrs. Anwen herself had also landed ashore! Tears streamed down his face; he was still too naive! Without you, Old Lady Anwen, I wouldn¡¯t have made it¡­ At that moment, twenty or thirty Earth Elements broke through the soil, completely surrounding the Spider Hero. Da Fei immediately ordered the remaining Flower Demons to retreat from the battlefield to let the professional melee fighters take over. Exactly! The bane of melee combat ¨C Earth Element! High defense, substantial health, and hefty damage are secondary; the key is its disgusting special skill ¡°Rebound,¡± which reflects a portion of the damage back at the attacker. In short, although the four great elemental creatures of wind, fire, water, earth aren¡¯t necessarily strong, each possesses a special ability that greatly annoys players, which is why elemental creatures are generally unwelcome mobs for players to clear. Now, facing the high-Attack Commander whose purpose was to rebound attacks, the Elemental¡¯s fate was already sealed! When it let out an unwilling scream that echoed across the island, Da Fei finally breathed a long sigh of relief. ¡­ ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have defeated the Spider Demon Worm Nest¡¯s trial guardian hero, achieved victory in the campaign, and obtained 620,000 Experience. Your Hate Value with the Spider Demon clan has increased by +10000. You have obtained spoils of war: ¡°Bloodthirst¡± Skill Scroll. ¡ª-System Prompt: You have achieved the ¡°9th Campaign Victory¡± achievement, with an additional reward of +10 Command Power. You have achieved the ¡°3rd Glorious Campaign Victory¡± achievement, with an additional reward of +20 Command Power and +20 Hero Life. ¡ª-System Prompt: After the intense battle, your Elite Banshee Infants have made significant growth and have grasped the sub-skill of Advanced War Machine Technology ¡°Crossbow Master¡±! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Finally¡ª-wait! Spoils of war, Bloodthirst? Da Fei hurriedly opened the item to check: ¡ª-¡°Bloodthirst¡± Skill Scroll: The hero and the hero¡¯s mixed-blood Demon Race melee troops will gain a junior level of Bloodsucking ability, converting 3% of damage dealt into their own health. Limited to Beastman and mixed-blood Demon Race heroes. Apf! You¡¯ve got to be kidding! Another Bloodsucking Skill! Although it¡¯s not as exaggerated as the 8% from old spider Nokes¡¯ hero inheritance, 3% is still pretty good! And it¡¯s just at the junior level, which means it can be upgraded? In an instant, Da Fei remembered a profound statement from the forums: The first one to loot a Divine Artifact, the Nth one is just crap! In online games, if you want to sell, do it sooner rather than later! (Mondays at the office are always busy)(To be continued.

Chapter 172 - Chapter 172 Chapter 165 The Blood Pool of Long Nights and Many Chapter 172: Chapter 165: The Blood Pool of Long Nights and Many Dreams Chapter 172: Chapter 165: The Blood Pool of Long Nights and Many Dreams Just as Da Fei looked at the scroll, marveling and feeling emotional and conflicted, the old nun stepped forward with a sigh, ¡°Captain, why so troubled?¡± ¡°Ah, teacher, you¡¯re rested now!¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t conveniently say that he was trying to complete the task for that unpopular person, lest displeasing the old nun. So he cleared his throat awkwardly, ¡°Well, the Spider Demons are incredibly powerful, posing a significant threat. Even at a young age, they¡¯re so domineering. If they reach adulthood, it would be catastrophic. This must not be tolerated!¡± The old nun sighed, ¡°I see. Indeed, after being baptized by the Demon God, the Spider Demons have transformed, making them formidable.¡± She then surveyed the battlefield, glanced at the sky, and her expression changed, ¡°Captain, how¡¯s the progress in destroying the Demon Nest?¡± Da Fei cleared his throat, ¡°Only seventy destroyed so far, but it will be fast from here on.¡± The old nun frowned, ¡°Captain, time is of the essence. Although it¡¯s unclear what might happen, it will undoubtedly become increasingly difficult.¡± Of course, I know it will become more troublesome! Da Fei nodded repeatedly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, no problem!¡± All right, then let¡¯s hurry. Ultimately, time was wasted by those trouble-making kids. As a commander, I can¡¯t be as indulgent as a doting parent, which does no good to either party. The period of intellectual enlightenment has passed. It¡¯s time to teach them discipline. Next time, whoever misbehaves, I¡¯ll have the skilled Uncle Monster lay them off. Let¡¯s see who dares to misbehave then! However, after this battle, they collectively learned the Crossbow Master skill, equivalent to doubling their attack power, and can finally completely replace the skilled gunners in the artillery field. Speaking of it, no wonder they couldn¡¯t break through the advanced skills barrier¨Cit was due to an unlearned sub-skill. This situation resembles how Advanced Reconnaissance Skill in Scouts has Stealth sandwiched in between, doesn¡¯t it? Anyway, I believe they¡¯ve finally broken through to Expert Level by now, haven¡¯t they? Then hurry up! Presently, the remaining troops began the onslaught on the Demon Nest, while Selvia started resurrecting the fallen troops everywhere, before running out of mana and beginning to meditate, with the resurrected troops starting to rest weakly. Altogether, it¡¯s troublesome! Yet, this is the benefit of being the victor: no matter how costly, as long as victory is achieved, the losses can be recuperated. This game encourages players to fight with all they have, sparing no expenses for victory. That¡¯s why the Resurrection Technique, which seems like it should be a God-level skill, was downgraded to a Master-level skill, accessible to everyone. By then, another green dot flew over on the mini-map¨CLili, who went to explore on the other side. She also brought good news, ¡°Master, discovered a Spider Demon Nest! Extremely powerful!¡± Of course, I know it¡¯s extremely powerful! That is to say, besides the one she found and the ones I passed earlier, there are at least two more Demon Nests, and they¡¯re spread quite far apart. It seems this revenge task can¡¯t be completed in one shot, might as well focus on the bigger picture and first destroy 100 ordinary Demon Nests. This way, even if I mess up, at least I¡¯ll have completed the main line quest. Hmm, mainly because another scroll came out, making a large fortune, Da Fei¡¯s mindset suddenly became peaceful, and his heated mind stimulated by the temporary ranger skill also cooled down immediately. In conclusion, it¡¯s still the woman¡¯s perspective of the old nun; what you can get hold of is what¡¯s yours. Finally, the Spider Demon Nest collapsed with a tragic scream. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your vice hero Selvia destroyed the Demon Race Nest. You gained 60,000 experience. Increased reputation by 100. You received large spoils of war, golden spider silk. ¡ª-Task Hint: Current progress of ¡°Attack Abyss Blood Pool¡± quest: Number of destroyed Nests 70/100. ¡ª-System Prompt: Progress of your ¡°Tree Elf Resentment¡± quest: Destroy 3 Spider Demon Nests. More golden spider silk, I¡¯ve got 3 bundles now! Fine, I¡¯ll catch fish while traveling for trade routes later. But why didn¡¯t the Resentful Spirit come out to speak this time? Afraid of meeting acquaintances? Or fully supporting the temporary skills with no time? Hmm, whatever. After a bit of busywork, the exhausted troops finally all returned to the ship. At this time, two crescent moons hung high in the sky, showing that too much time was spent in this battle. Now, the Flying began advancing towards the next Spider Demon Nest, of course, clearing the ordinary Demon Nests along the way. Da Fei immediately went to the gun cabin to implement militarized management. The result was a dazzling scene of what appeared to be countless snowy white shades as soon as he entered! Damn, these trouble-making kids have all grown into graceful budding young girls! This surely is the powder cup ear among Banshees! ¡°Master! Welcome!¡± As soon as these Banshees saw Da Fei enter, they swarmed around him, pushing and jostling to win his favor! Da Fei burst into laughter right there, no wonder they¡¯re elites, weren¡¯t even adults yet and could say simple short sentences? It always said girls mature early, and sure enough, with their posture of vying for favor at present, would there be worries that they wouldn¡¯t obey me? Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Everyone don¡¯t be anxious, Master will impart skills to you all. Whoever learns it will be the treasure! Can¡¯t learn it? That¡¯s a spank, tickle footboards!¡± The Banshees shrieked, ¡°Yay! Yay!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You used the ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± skill on the Elite Demon Infant and failed to impart ¡°Expert-level War Machine Science¡±! Da Fei was stunned! Failed? Do they have to grow again once more first? Whatever, tickle footboards! ******************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* Hahaha, when Da Fei was enjoying himself immensely, the entire gun cabin fell silent! Hmm? Why isn¡¯t anyone talking anymore? Da Fei looked over at the gun cabin door in astonishment, only to see Selvia blocking the doorway with a face of icy frost. Damn! Got spotted! Selvia raised her eyebrows and sternly reprimanded, ¡°Captain, your behavior is indecent!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: Warning! You have engaged in conduct seriously inconsistent with Vice Hero Selvia¡¯s character, Selvia is extremely displeased with you, Selvia¡¯s loyalty -10! Ugh! Da Fei spewed a mouthful of old blood. Over such a trivial matter, losing that much loyalty, are you kidding me? After all, vice heroes are not permanent private property of players, if loyalty drops too low, they could run away. It seems that when Selvia joined, her loyalty has always been at 70, apparently never increasing! In what ways do I displease her? Selvia then reprimanded the group of Banshees, ¡°What are you all doing? Get into your positions!¡± The Banshees collectively lowered their heads, silently dispersing to their stations. Da Fei¡¯s jaw hit the floor! Damn, who are you afraid of, her or me? Hmm, sure enough, it¡¯s not me. Alas, it seems calling Selvia over as a nanny was a mistake. Da Fei cleared his throat awkwardly, ¡°Everyone prepare for battle this time, make sure to follow commands, alright?¡± Selvia strode up to Da Fei, glaring, ¡°Captain, after we leave, you should make them wear clothes!¡± Damn! Wear clothes? No way, absolutely no way! Da Fei¡¯s gaze dodged, unable to meet her eyes, nodding repeatedly, ¡°Ah right! Wear clothes! Sailor suits, my favorite!¡± We are the Sailor Moon, representing the moon to punish you! Magical girl transformation! Wahahaha! Selvia vehemently rejected, ¡°No, wear nun robes!¡± Damn! Are you kidding me, what¡¯s the point of wearing these old nun¡¯s robes! Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Fine, fine! Nun robes! Holy, huh!¡± Selvia nodded, solemnly stating, ¡°Captain, please mind your image!¡± Da Fei nodded tearfully, ¡°Yes, yes, yes!¡± Da Fei was truly frightened, this harem game couldn¡¯t be played, what is this called? Giving up a forest for one tree! Oh, well, who told this tree to be high-end¡­ ¡­ Now, the Flying neared a small island along its way. At this moment, many Flying Demons were hovering over the island, in Elite status? It seems, as time passes, the ordinary Demon Nests are no longer incapable of resistance against slaughter. No need to talk further, I¡¯ll send out the Thousand Flower Demon Army and the God-level Hero Team to lead them, absolutely not fearing any wild creatures from your islands. Start the battle! In an instant, the side crossbow cannons crackled, swarms of bees fluttered and flower pollen scattered in the sky, Druid¡¯s magic bullets howled on the deck, countless Flying Demons plummeted, turning into experience. Just then, the long-absent red alert light exploded with a bang! ¡ª-System Prompt: Warning! Strong enemy approaching, please stay alert! Strong enemy? Da Fei was startled, seeing two large clusters of red dots swiftly approaching on the radar small map! How come this speed is so formidable? Da Fei hurriedly took out his binoculars to look, seeing the red dots in front were dozens of ¡°big birds¡± flying in the sky, and the red dots behind were a big group of something swimming on the sea surface! Air Force showed up! Sea Monster also appeared! If there¡¯s anything a surface warship fears, without question, it¡¯s powerful air force and submerged Sea Monsters! Explanation, none needed! Damn, sure enough, delay breeds change, the Demon Race indeed isn¡¯t going to let me wreak havoc for free! Since the alarm of the Reconnaissance Skill went off, thus indicating the system determined I couldn¡¯t win, what should be done? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only At this time, Da Fei could only seek help from the old nun. The old nun furrowed her brow, speaking in a deep voice, ¡°Swiftly defeat this Demon Nest, then I¡¯ll release a thick fog. In the fog, we¡¯ll use Mysterious Stealth Navigation to escape!¡± Ah right! I have the divine skill Mysterious Stealth Navigation! Seems like it¡¯s going to be a tough guerrilla war, and I¡¯m the initiator, speed not being the advantage! The Little Banshees have grown, finally understanding absolute command. Their skills have now reached the level of skilled gunners, and though their attribute points vastly surpass those of skilled gunners, entirely replacing their roles, the initial trouble Da Fei faced has finally received its payoff, and the Demon Nest collapsed tragically. At this moment, Da Fei saw clearly through the binoculars the air force approaching¨Cthe Mozawa Flying Dragon Patrolmen! Anything with the word ¡®dragon¡¯ involved, crap! (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please support the author by voting with recommendation and monthly tickets on , this is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.wuxiaworld.site.) Chapter 173 - Chapter 173 Chapter 166 Guerrilla of Mysterious Stealth Chapter 173: Chapter 166 Guerrilla of Mysterious Stealth Navigation Chapter 173: Chapter 166 Guerrilla of Mysterious Stealth Navigation The pursuers were closing in, and Anwen summoned a large mist of blood to obscure the massive figure of the Flying and dropped an illusion of the Flying within the fog. Before the pursuers arrived, they quietly stealthed away. Successful escape! Da Fei breathed a huge sigh of relief. I have to say, in the four major magic systems of Light and Dark Destruction Magic, the arcane is indeed the most versatile. But the premise is that you must learn it well and use it cleverly. Otherwise, it¡¯s neither offensive nor supportive. That¡¯s why players generally don¡¯t want to start with arcane in the early stages. And along the way, the old lady had repeatedly demonstrated to Da Fei through actual combat what the true meaning of arcane was. Truly a good teacher and helpful friend! Da Fei made up his mind that once he got out this time, he would definitely hire an arcanist as a vice hero. Although Selvia could also learn arcane, as a Light Sister, the mana consumption for resurrecting the whole army after a battle is enormous, leaving no extra mana for arcane spells. At this time, Da Fei checked through the telescope the pursuing flying dragon sea monster named Observer that was still on alert outside the fog and searching, and he couldn¡¯t help but be secretly startled. Several NPC heroes were riding on the flying dragon, and it seemed like both main and vice heroes were equipped, making it far from what ordinary wild monsters could compare to. And those sea monsters were very similar to the Undead Naga encountered on Undead Island. Overall, you could tell at a glance that they were very powerful, high-end, and top-notch, and beings named Guardian or Observer in the game generally wouldn¡¯t be weak. Judging by their not-too-numerous quantity, they were definitely boss-level troops without a doubt. In short, these were absolutely not something I could fight against with force. Now it was a big problem! Then there was only one way, which was like the thief tactic that hides after stealing, firing a shot then moving to another location. So the key was the speed of ¡°stealing the tower¡±, as the opponents would arrive swiftly with high mobility. Therefore, the Banshee Artillery must fight a quick battle. The Luck Skill was unreliable, so there was only one way, which was to temporarily give it my all to upgrade them to the expert level! Whether they met the prerequisites for the expert level or not, consider it pre-school education, after all, it cost no money. Da Fei went down to the gun cabin again to intensify the special training! ¡­ Now, the Flying had sailed far out of the pursuers¡¯ sight and had arrived at another Demon Nest Island. It should be in time to clear the area, with nothing much to say. Open fire! The crossbow cannon roared, and the demon nest screeched. Amidst the intense battle, Da Fei¡¯s Reconnaissance Skill alarmed again! Sure enough, they came! Da Fei exclaimed excitedly, ¡°Intensify the bombardment!¡± At this moment, a few Banshees had a rainbow light emerge above them, lucky! Oh yeah! When you rely on it, it¡¯s never reliable, but when you forget about it, it unexpectedly appears! Meanwhile, the Druid Flower Demon Army on deck did not hold back, launching three consecutive thunderstorms and two hive swarms to use up mana and end the battle. Then Selvia flashed gold, resurrecting the fallen Flower Demon. Then Anwen waved a hand, and a massive fog of blood mist spread across the Blood Sea again, and the Flying stealthed again! And just at this moment, the ship¡¯s hull of the Flying suddenly flashed with a burst of red light! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your ship, ¡°Flying,¡± has reached level 2! Ship durability limit +500, ship defense +20, ship maximum speed +1. Da Fei was overjoyed, did the ship upgrade? Da Fei hurriedly opened the ship¡¯s attributes, and yes! It upgraded! ¨CShip durability 2316/2816 ¨CShip speed: 11 ¨CShip armor defense: Left side 140, right side 140, bow 115, stern 116. I see, apart from unreliable things like Storm Baptism, using skills like Mysterious Stealth Navigation that need ship participation can also upgrade the ship! It seems that practicing more skills and leveling up frequently in the future is necessary, wahaha! Come on, now my ship has gained another point of speed, I¡¯m super excited about sailing! Now, on the Abyss Blood Pool, a game of cat and mouse was underway. The Flying was elusive, striking down several demon nests in the game, while the pursuers were helpless to catch Da Fei! This was the absolute control of a God-level Skill! If things continued like this, the task would be completed with thrills but no dangers. However, Da Fei was conflicted inside, this tactic easily stole ordinary demon nests but didn¡¯t work for a place like the Spider Demon Island that required landing. Must he give up? Was my temporary ranger only a one-time thing? Damn it! Unwilling, truly unwilling! The more Da Fei thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Oh well, in life, there are gains and losses, let go when it¡¯s time to. Now as long as I can safely complete the mission and return, that¡¯s the greatest victory. ¡­ Pool of Radiance, when Deirdre blasted out the last barracks and the Indian players placed the last ship of Flower Demons in position, a decisive battle erupted! No doubt, the long-planned decisive battle of the Dragon Slayer Guild! The Dragon Slayer Guild mobilized all the Hell Race players from the China Region to launch a PK against Indian and Japanese players! In an instant, the world exploded! Although everyone knew the Dragon Slayer Guild would deliberately cause trouble, they didn¡¯t expect the Dragon Slayer Guild to go to such lengths and start a PK against allied forces in the same camp! Moreover, they mobilized so many Chinese players to initiate PKs! Don¡¯t they know that the punishment for PK against allies in a national war battlefield is much more severe than normal malicious PK? Didn¡¯t they originally intend to protect the level 6 troop, Abyss Lord? Japan¡¯s Igarashi immediately called the Dragon Slayer to question, ¡°Mr. Ma, are you abandoning our friendly cooperative relationship?¡± What a joke, when the national war erupted in the China Region, there was no cooperation to speak of. Ma Yinglong sighed with a laugh, ¡°It¡¯s not my doing, but I can¡¯t go against popular opinion. In my position, there are too many pressures. But I hope that in the New World, in an environment without any social opinion interference, we can still cooperate hand in hand.¡± Igarashi angrily said, ¡°Mr. Ma, you are reneging and unreliable. We can¡¯t cooperate with you; we will look for new partners!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed, ¡°Our Dragon Slayer, as an international large guild, always welcomes Mr. Igarashi to change his mind!¡± Igarashi laughed wildly, ¡°You have already lost credibility in front of the world. No one will recognize your international status; you will be sanctioned by the whole world!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, ¡°Then there¡¯s no other way, and we can only sell the gold coins to partners willing to cooperate with us.¡± Igarashi hung up with a humph of anger. Indeed, in the Chinese gaming industry, there is a world-renowned industry known as the ¡°Gold Farming Studio¡±! As foreigners say, they¡¯re ¡°Gold Farmers,¡± abbreviated as GF, a Chinese specialty. Foreigners generally don¡¯t do this hard work because a casual cleaner in Western countries earns a salary of around one to two thousand US Dollars, yet people don¡¯t want to do it. Comparatively, gold farming is not worth it; being a cleaner can even keep you fit, while gold farming makes you more reclusive. But it¡¯s different in China; this income equates to a monthly income of over ten thousand RMB, attracting many unemployed youths! Mitsubishi initially partnered with Dragon Slayer hoping to obtain a large amount of gold coins from them. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only So, with Ma Yinglong¡¯s gold farming studio in hand, it was like the United States wielding the financial weapon of the US Dollar, giving him confidence. For Dragon Slayer, the Hell Power was too weak, plus ordinary players had personal interests in protecting the Abyss Lord, making it impossible to accumulate enough merit to control the situation. So the Epic Quest originally taken by Thunderstorm was snatched, leaving disruption as the only option. PK India and Japan, it not only gave a satisfactory answer to domestic public opinion but also showcased the powerful organizational ability and decisiveness of Dragon Slayer to the world media, and potentially snagged the coveting Banshee. Even if not achieved, they wouldn¡¯t let others do so. In a nutshell, one must try every way to show presence on this world stage! Even if it¡¯s a temp doing a flashy act on the stage, as long as it catches the world¡¯s eyes, that¡¯s victory! And Dragon Slayer¡¯s sudden strike also relieved the Hell¡¯s Alliance Army of various countries. Compared to an uncertain bomb that could explode at any moment, a bomb that¡¯s already gone off is no longer a threat¨Cfirst kill the traitor. In no time, the multi-nation allies at the front line, called by Japan, immediately sailed back to besiege Dragon Slayer. Star certainly didn¡¯t miss this opportunity, and the battlefield entered its final frenzy! (To be continued.

Chapter 174 - Chapter 174 Chapter 167 Completion of the Attack on Abyss Chapter 174: Chapter 167 Completion of the ¡°Attack on Abyss Blood Pool¡± Mission Chapter 174: Chapter 167 Completion of the ¡°Attack on Abyss Blood Pool¡± Mission Abyss Blood Pool, the 90th demon nest collapsed with a boom, and the Flying retreated stealthily from the battlefield. ¨CSystem Prompt: You destroyed the Demon Nest, gaining Experience +50,000! Prestige +100 obtained! ¨CTask Hint: ¡°Attack Abyss Blood Pool¡± task current completion progress: Number of nests destroyed 90/100. ¨CSystem Prompt: After the baptism of battle, your elite Banshee Artillery Unit has grown! They have learned the racial skill ¡°Charming Technique.¡± Da Fei exhaled a long breath, after fighting so many battles and basking in the moonlight for so long, there¡¯s finally growth! After being stuck at Expert Level for so long, it¡¯s time to give me an explanation! How come the Little Spider Demon from kindergarten hits milestones like they¡¯re cheating, while my progress is so slow! Da Fei excitedly went to the gun cabin, and sure enough, the Banshees were now a size larger, reaching the standard of high school girls! All the Banshees cheerfully called, ¡°Master! Welcome!¡± Oh, image! Captain¡¯s image! Da Fei cleared his throat and said, ¡°You all did very well! Now, it¡¯s time to teach you the expert-level skills, pay close attention, if you can¡¯t learn it¨Clet Miss Selvia spank you!¡± The Banshees nodded in panic. Da Fei sighed inwardly, what exactly is a nun in the eyes of the Banshee? Speaking of which, even in my eyes, a nun, especially an elderly nun, is a terrifying existence! A white light flashed. ¨CSystem Prompt: You used the ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± skill on the growing elite Banshee, successfully teaching the elite Banshee infant the ¡°Expert-level War Machine Science¡±! ¨CSystem Prompt: You received information about Master-level War Machine Science. ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You developed a new troop, and you comprehended the ¡°Expert-level Special Soldier Training Technique.¡± ¨CGrowing Elite Banshee Artillery: Small-type elite demon creature, Attack 17, Defense 9, Damage 7-15, Health 66, Attack Speed 10, Magic Resistance 50%, Special Skills: Flying Creature, Long-Range Shooting, Charming Technique, Expert-Level War Machine Science, Crossbow Master. Success! Da Fei laughed loudly into the sky! Finally, the expert level I was stuck at for half a day succeeded in teaching, now the elite Banshee¡¯s attribute points are twice that of skilled gunners, their skills are one level higher than skilled gunners, and the crossbow power is more than double! It¡¯s a qualitative leap! What happens when they grow up? It¡¯s at least a double increase! The 32 cannons now are equivalent to more than 100 cannons of others! What kind of concept is 100 cannons? The ultimate war machine of legendary great nation navies, battleships, right? Ha ha! Wah ha ha! I¡¯m awesome and unstoppable! How can other players play this anymore? Aren¡¯t they all going to kneel down and sing conquest to me? Now, Master Level is only a step away, by the time they mature, the Grandmaster information that¡¯s been spammed on the screen numerous times will have a result, right? Come on, the next one! ¡­ Pool of Radiance, thousands of ships were engaged in a chaotic battle. The vast Chinese players led by Dragon Slayer didn¡¯t engage and saved a large number of Abyss Lords, then their proactive PK initially used absolute military advantage to eliminate the Japanese Zone and Indian Zone players who competed for the Female Hero, achieving the purpose of defeating them individually. Then, in concert with the Star, they formed a pincer attack on the Multi-National Joint Army coming to encircle Dragon Slayer. For a while, countless players dying emitted white lights soaring into the sky. Under the tacit cooperation of Dragon Slayer and Star, two old rivals familiar with each other for many years, the Multi-National Joint Army was in critical condition. That¡¯s right, at least Dragon Slayer and Star reached an agreement on one point, which is that under the attention of all China Region players, no matter who wins or loses, foreigners should not take the benefit. Otherwise, the two guilds could only apologize to the Chinese people with death, letting the spoils go to Ninth Heaven which did nothing. Although for Dragon Slayer, this was definitely a losing deal, but in the awkward position he was in, he had no choice but to tightly play the card of ¡°national righteousness,¡± doing nothing would only drag down China and lose the righteousness, leading to being scorned by the masses of players, so he could only PK, and similarly had to mobilize as many ordinary players as possible to engage in PK under the guise of patriotism in forums and chat groups. When most ordinary players, especially the student party, were stirred up passionately by Dragon Slayer¡¯s professional propaganda team, it was the time for all Chinese people to unite with hearts full of hot blood like the Great Wall. The world channel of the entire China Region had been flooded by tycoons, victory was at hand! At this time, the Mitsubishi Team Command Center in the Japan Zone was in chaos, and the situation was completely out of control. It was at this time that Igarashi received a call from Captain America Howell: ¡°Do you need us to move?¡± Igarashi¡¯s face twitched sharply, and he could only nod reluctantly, ¡°Yes! We indeed are unable to control the situation and request your zone for assistance!¡± Howell laughed heartily, ¡°No! No! It¡¯s you who assist us, never forget the main-subordinate relationship!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Igarashi, with a complex expression, clutched the phone, ¡°Yes! We will distribute a satisfactory proportion of the victory gains from this National War to your zone as thanks!¡± Howell replied, ¡°That¡¯s expected, without us you won¡¯t manage.¡± ¨CBattlefield Report: American Zone player SawSaw killed China Region player Blood Sea Wave, Blood Sea Wave¡¯s troops were crushed! The noisy battlefield channel suddenly paused! The Star Command Center was also stunned! China Region¡¯s God-level Hero was killed? Blood Sea Wave was killed? How could it be! How was he killed? He was just fine, who killed him? Similarly, at this moment, as Blood Sea Wave was resurrecting on Lake Island, he was confused, ¡°How did I die?¡± Chapter 175 - Chapter 175 Chapter 167 Completion of the Attack the Abyss Chapter 175: Chapter 167 Completion of the ¡°Attack the Abyss Blood Pool¡± Mission_2 Chapter 175: Chapter 167 Completion of the ¡°Attack the Abyss Blood Pool¡± Mission_2 And it was at this moment, ¡ª- Battlefield Report: American Zone player SawSaw has slain China Region player Uranus, and Uranus¡¯s troops were crushed! Star Command Center was shocked to its core! The leader of the Star Annihilation Group, the top expert of Star, Uranus, has been killed! His downfall meant the doom of his dozens of Druid underlings! ¡ª- Battlefield Report: American Zone player SawSaw has slain China Region player Old Jiang, and Old Jiang¡¯s troops were crushed! Gosh! Star Command Center collectively spat blood! The whole China Region fell into silence! The supreme commander and chief military strategist of Star, the celebrity of the Chinese E-sports Industry, Jiang Dawei was also killed! ¡ª- Battlefield Report: American Zone player SawSaw has slain China Region player Silver Galaxy, and Silver Galaxy¡¯s troops were crushed! Another well-known professional player from the China Region has been taken down! The entire battlefield was shaken! Now, dear players, the entire world¡¯s players finally saw clearly the figure darting around the battlefield, SawSaw! Lei Huolong was even more shocked: ¡°Turns out, that American goofball really is that strong!¡± Right at that moment, Lei Huolong suddenly saw a blur in front of his eyes, a familiar figure, an evil smile appeared before him: ¡°Come on! Kickuass!¡± (Come on, fuck your ass!) A flash of a blade! ¡ª- Battlefield Report: American Zone player SawSaw has slain China Region player Lei Huolong, and Lei Huolong¡¯s troops were crushed! The number one player from the Hell Race in the China Region was instantly killed! The American Zone made another move! For the American Zone, America¡¯s leadership was unequivocal, its leading position unquestionable. Obviously, Japan attempting to become the leader of the Hell Race was challenging the leading position of the American Zone, even if the Hell Race was just an undervalued branch of America, it couldn¡¯t tolerate the challenge from Japan. However, during the operation to encircle the Super Hero ¡°Dafei,¡± Captain America¡¯s leadership was questioned, although it was not his fault, the blame should go to the overwhelming firepower of the communists and their Gundam. But this did not stop Japan Zone and India Zone from pushing the responsibility for defeat onto America, which was even more intolerable. Now, the American Zone¡¯s Intelligence Collection has been completed, the top-ranking players from the China Region Level List had all been recorded and logged on-the-spot by Reconnaissance Skill players for later analysis. Then, it was time for the American Zone to take the stage, to behead these already marked important figures one by one, just like using drones to hunt down terrorist leaders. To be honest, at this stage, SawSaw was simply too overpowering; no player could withstand a hit from his Great Demon, if possible, they preferred not to let him enter the field, but Japan really could not lead the world, and Howell had a thorn in his heart, so they had to show up to save face for America and demonstrate the power of the American Zone. Now SawSaw was like a Rocket Team zipping through the galaxy, shocking the whole world, the battlefield situation reversed in an instant! The China Region was completely collapsing! The World Channel of the China Region was filled with exclamations and curses! The entire foreign Hell Camp was cheering! But only the Japanese felt a complex mix of emotions, finding no joy. Whether in reality or in the game, they had to remain under America¡¯s immense shadow, unable to see their nation¡¯s future, which was truly depressing. Now, Star¡¯s players were utterly defeated, the remaining forces retreated back inside the walls of the city. As for the red-named Dragon Slayer players, they were being wiped out by the Multi-National Joint Army, putting up their final struggle to break even if they killed one, profit if they killed two. According to the punishment rules of the battlefield, their penalty could very well mean elimination, no Resurrection at the Demon Camp. At last, all Dragon Slayer players were eliminated, Star suffered heavy losses, and the Hellish Alliance Army, escorting the attacking Female Hero Deirdre, was on the brink of breaking the city, the fall of the city was inevitable! Elf Kingdom General Staff Department, silence prevailed. Eternal Star, not giving up on the last hope, urgently tugged at the sleeve of the Great Elder: ¡°Great Elder! If we don¡¯t dispatch a few hundred Jade Dragons now, we¡¯ll be defeated!¡± The elder threw off his sleeves in fury: ¡°Have you achieved the prestige to ride dragons yet? No, it¡¯s because you have been failing in combat! Don¡¯t panic, we still have our Super Hero!¡± Eternal Star anxiously said: ¡°What if the Super Hero also fails?¡± The elder, already irritated, kicked a tea table beside him and roared: ¡°Then we¡¯ll unleash the Ancient Storm! Flip the table, call it quits, and stop playing altogether!¡± What was the Ancient Storm? While still in shock, suddenly an officer cried out: ¡°Elder! We¡¯ve received a message from Professor Anwen! We have completed the mission to destroy the Abyss Blood Pool!¡± The entire staff department erupted in cheers! The Great Elder was ecstatic: ¡°Hold on! The Super Hero will soon return to the Pool of Radiance!¡± As if invigorated by a shot of adrenaline, Eternal Star was overjoyed and immediately ordered the guild to make an all-out effort for the final resistance, insisting they hold out until the Super Hero returns! A Super Hero, huh? I¡¯d like to meet this so-called divine figure myself! ¡­ At the Abyss Blood Pool, under the relentless bombardment of all Expert Level Banshees, the Demon Nest let out a wail and the delightful system prompt sounded its ding-dong chime! ¡ª-Task Hint: ¡°Attack Abyss Blood Pool¡± current progress: Mother Nests destroyed 100/100. ¡ª-Task Hint: Congratulations! You have completed the Epic Quest ¡°Attack Abyss Blood Pool¡±! Please return to the Elf Kingdom to receive your epic quest reward! Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief, the irritating game of cat and mouse, it was finally over. Anwen clapped and laughed heartily: ¡°Congratulations! Congratulations! Captain, you are truly a Super Hero selected from within the Kingdom. Your outstanding merit for accomplishing this unparalleled feat is assured! Now, we can teleport back.¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have completed the Epic Quest, would you like to return now? Da Fei hurriedly bowed and said: ¡°I¡¯m not worthy, it¡¯s all thanks to the teacher who assisted me along the way. Without you, I would have never been able to achieve this. It¡¯s just regrettable¨C¡± He then heaved a long sigh. After all, Da Fei¡¯s heart was entangled with unfulfilled desires, reluctant to leave. Anwen asked curiously: ¡°Regrettable what?¡± Da Fei sighed: ¡°It¡¯s just regrettable that I don¡¯t feel this is any unparalleled feat. The Kingdom has clearly underestimated the mission¡¯s objective. The thought of those Spider Demons not being fully exterminated makes me restless.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei had almost covered the vast Abyss Blood Pool in their game of cat and mouse and still hadn¡¯t found the third Spider Demon Nest. That left just two Spider Demon Matriarchs; the question was, was it almost impossible to take them down? Anwen nodded his head and laughed heartily: ¡°I see! Actually, I came on this quest prepared to die, and now that the mission is complete, I have no regrets. Since the Captain is determined to eradicate the kingdom¡¯s future troubles, I see no reason not to offer my full support!¡± Da Fei was delighted: ¡°Thank you, teacher!¡± Anwen laughed heartily: ¡°Allow me to rest for a moment. Captain, you must hide well during this short break and not get discovered.¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly: ¡°Understood!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 176 - Chapter 176 Chapter 168 God-level Illusion Army Attacks the Chapter 176: Chapter 168: God-level Illusion Army Attacks the Island Chapter 176: Chapter 168: God-level Illusion Army Attacks the Island Abyss Blood Pool, the cat-and-mouse game was not over. However, the old lady went to rest and couldn¡¯t continue to hide with Mysterious Stealth Navigation, so the only way was to use the most common method, exploiting the field-of-view differences. This meant Da Fei¡¯s God-level Reconnaissance Technique could spot the opponent while remaining unseen, allowing Da Fei to avoid danger in advance. The principle was simple, but the actual operation was quite challenging, especially since the opponent was faster than Da Fei. So Da Fei dared not be careless, took his place at the observation deck, and shared the view with the entire ship, entrusting everything to Catherine. This was a true test of the intelligence of both NPC heroes. For a time, the Flying dodged left and right at the map¡¯s edge, flexibly avoiding the pursuer¡¯s search. But how long could this dodging last? Old lady, have you rested enough? Suddenly, Da Fei felt a little uneasy. The old lady had been casting spells continuously in past battles; could she handle it? Damn it! Regardless of whether she could or not, this was for the great cause of the Elf Kingdom, so the old lady must hold on! Brother Fei was on his knees, praying for the old lady¡¯s blessings and longevity under the dark sky of the Demon World! While Da Fei was anxiously waiting, the Star Guild at the Pool of Radiance was also impatiently waiting, eagerly looking out! Where the hell was the Super Hero? Hurry up and appear! At this time, the Hellish Alliance Army was once again regrouping their forces, concentrating the remaining strength on their main forces to protect Deirdre and bombard the city gate. Members without troops returned to the city as transporters, continuing to haul corrupt soil to pollute the Pool of Radiance to earn merit. Deirdre¡¯s siege crossbow was blasting off on the city wall, with the tree roots on the wall making futile resistance efforts to recover. The entire China Region was praying for Star, hoping the Super Hero would come to the rescue! . . . As Da Fei waited anxiously, he received a message. He checked, it was Lei Huolong. Lei Huolong asked, ¡°Brother Fei, what are you busy with?¡± Damn it, Brother Fei didn¡¯t have time for business deals now, even if you wanted to talk, prepare 5 million in cash first, Brother Fei meant RMB. 3 million was also acceptable, at least it would allow Brother Fei to get a house in Shendong! Da Fei responded irritably, ¡°Currently dealing with some hassle.¡± Lei Huolong replied, ¡°Have you heard news from the World Channel, Brother Fei?¡± Da Fei was surprised, ¡°World Channel has news? I haven¡¯t seen any!¡± Lei Huolong laughed, ¡°Brother Fei, indeed you¡¯re at a higher level, in a different service area from us. Currently, the Star Guild is under siege by a Multi-National Joint Army; they¡¯re all counting on Brother Fei to come save the day. When will Brother Fei fight back?¡± Damn it! Counting on Brother Fei? Let Star¡¯s boss talk to Brother Fei personally, appearance fee 10,000! Brother Fei meant RMB. Da Fei couldn¡¯t help laughing and crying, ¡°Count on me? Who do I count on? What¡¯s Star¡¯s business to me anyway? What¡¯s it to your Dragon Slayer?¡± Lei Huolong sighed, ¡°I¡¯m thinking for our China, hoping Brother Fei immediately goes back.¡± Ah, spit! Da Fei burst out laughing, ¡°China? Mr. Lei, are you missing a ¡®region¡¯ word? We¡¯re playing games here, not qualified to worry about the Imperial Capital.¡± Lei Huolong replied seriously, ¡°Though lowly, never forget to worry about the nation!¡± Ah, spit! Can¡¯t believe this guy was such a unique character! ¡°True, true, you¡¯re patriotic, you¡¯re great! Anyway, Brother Fei is busy!¡± Da Fei didn¡¯t bother to tussle with the odd guy and asked, ¡°By the way, how¡¯s that Female Hero?¡± Lei Huolong sighed, ¡°Our Dragon Slayer is entirely out, can¡¯t handle it. Anyway, won¡¯t disturb Brother Fei anymore, you must save the nation when needed! Our China is relying on you!¡± Damn it! Brother Fei is down on his knees for you! Anyway, as long as Deirdre was fine. At this moment, Lei Huolong sent a screenshot of the conversation he just had with Da Fei to Ma Yinglong, ¡°Boss, here¡¯s the screenshot with some colorful language!¡± ¡°Ah, spit!¡± Ma Yinglong couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°And damn it, though lowly, never forget to worry about the nation! Let me vomit for a while first!¡± ¡°Boss, you¡¯ll get used to it after vomiting a few times!¡± Ma Yinglong nodded, ¡°Alright then, hand over all conversation records with him to the propaganda department, archive and preserve them well.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± What was Lei Huolong doing just now? Of course, he was trying to set a trap for the opponent! In the conversation, Lei Huolong¡¯s remarks were righteous and beyond reproach, filled with positive energy, while conversely, Da Fei looked like he didn¡¯t have a patriotic bone, and that¡¯s how the trap was set! Indeed, as a renowned figure in the game, talking with others necessitated caution. If any improper comment was screenshotted and exposed, the impact on reputation and credibility could be unfathomable. For the Dragon Slayer, this was an essential way to strike the opponent and promote itself, so Dragon Slayer would specially assign someone to do this. Was Da Fei an opponent of Dragon Slayer? Clearly, with different factions, they were natural opponents. What if Da Fei got coaxed by Star, then? It would be challenging. Therefore, there was a need to archive someone like Da Fei. In short, if necessary, Dragon Slayer could use public opinion as a weapon, sow discord, and strike the opponent, making them struggle to survive or even unable to continue. The world was indeed a dangerous place! . . . Currently, the Flying began to hover around the outskirts of Spider Demon Island, and finally, what felt like years later, the old lady appeared, ¡°I¡¯m here!¡± Finally, you came! Were you testing Catherine¡¯s skills in misdirecting attention? Da Fei was so excited that tears flowed down his cheeks, ¡°You really should have rested a little more!¡± The old lady shook her head and smiled, ¡°There¡¯s no time to delay, anyway, I thought it over, and this battle should be fought like this! Please mobilize the Forest Goddess!¡± ¡°Alright, alright!¡± Da Fei nodded hurriedly, immediately integrating the Forest Goddess into the old lady¡¯s team. The old lady glanced toward the direction of the patrol team and nodded, ¡°Now, I¡¯m going to play big!¡± As she spoke, a flash of Demon Light flickered from the old lady¡¯s hand, simultaneously with the light in every Forest Goddess¡¯s hands! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your subordinate hero, Anwen, used Master-level Meditation Skill ¡°Magic Coordination¡± on the Forest Goddess Army! The Forest Goddess Army received temporary Magic Power +1. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your subordinate hero, Anwen, used Master-level Arcane ¡°Illusion Army¡± Magic on the Flying! Your Forest Goddess Army used Basic ¡°Illusion Army¡± Magic on the Flying! Amidst the Demon Light, an Illusion Sailboat identical to the Flying appeared. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched, with the old lady¡¯s Grandmaster-level skills to use illusions on the Flying, why did she utilize the Basic Illusion Skill of the Forest Goddess? This meant the illusion exceeded Grandmaster-level, right? God-level? No, no, must be between Grandmaster and God-level! The old lady waved her hand and laughed, ¡°Illusion Flying, depart!¡± In an instant, the Illusion Sailboat shot out like an arrow from a bowstring! Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped in surprise, ¡°So fast!¡± Anwen laughed heartily, ¡°Illusions are naturally fast; if they weren¡¯t, how could they lure away the pursuers? So we have to swiftly resolve this while the pursuers are diverted!¡± Da Fei realized the plan! Awesome! Absolutely awesome! Although Illusion Army Magic could copy the image of troops, and the image could also move a short distance, but such a big illusion, such a long-distance raid, was simply unimaginable! God-level! Definitely God-level! Anwen said seriously, ¡°Time is of the essence, Captain start the attack now! We¡¯re trying a different strategy this time!¡± Old lady, with your words, I am relieved! Da Fei¡¯s tears flowed with excitement, ¡°Alright! We¡¯ll use a different strategy!¡± . . . A mass of blood mist neared the Spider Demon Island; it was the Flying wrapped in blood mist, of course. Inside the blood mist, the Crossbow Cannon roared, and dozens of Crossbow Arrows shot out of the mist, blasting the densely packed Spider Demon Elites ashore. Though they were elites, under the bombardment of Expert Level Elite gunner Banshees, one shot per kill. Although they couldn¡¯t see through the mist and could only fire randomly, missing was almost impossible given the dense formations. Screams erupted across the island, and a huge Spider Demon Hero charged out furiously from the island center! Da Fei ordered loudly, ¡°Cease fire!¡± Can¡¯t alert the snake in the grass! The gigantic Spider Demon Hero dashed to the beach, suddenly bewildered! Can¡¯t see now, right? Spit spider webs, come on, spit! Da Fei laughed heartily! While the Spider Demon was dazed, the Flying drew closer within the mist. ¡°It¡¯s time! Clear the mist!¡± The old lady waved her hand again, dispersing the blood mist instantly! The mist dissipated to allow the Banshee gunners to focus fire on the BOSS accurately. The Spider Demon finally saw the Flying and spat out spider silk without hesitation. ¡°Fire!¡± With such a large target, there¡¯s no way to miss. Da Fei¡¯s Triple Crossbow led the charge, and the fully-loaded 16 cannons thundered in unison, two volleys of crossbow arrows roared out! Bang bang bang bang!!! A wretched scream sounded, the huge body of the Spider Demon Hero exploded into flesh and blood, erupting with a loud bang! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have killed the Spider Demon Worm Nest¡¯s Trial Hero, the Spider Demon Hero¡¯s army has routed! Oh yeah! Da Fei laughed heartily! Not even heroes originating from 8th-level soldiers could withstand a round of Brother Fei¡¯s Crossbow Cannon barrage, not to mention you, the preschool class monitor! As expected, indeed so! Brother Fei was too naive! Brother Fei shouldn¡¯t have sneaked around in the past two Demon Nests during the old lady¡¯s rest! Brother Fei realized the mistake! Wahahaha! Without the hero¡¯s leadership, the Spider Demon lackeys were not a threat. Da Fei waved boldly, ¡°Troops disembark, artillery cover!¡± The old lady laughed heartily, ¡°Time is running out, let me give the Captain a helping hand!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: Your subordinate hero, Anwen, used Master-level Arcane ¡°Summon Phoenix¡± Magic! A blaze erupted, and a massive Fire Phoenix screeched out! Da Fei burst into tears! Old lady, it was indeed wonderful with you around! This battle bore no suspense; under Da Fei¡¯s troops¡¯ all-out assault, victory was swift and decisive! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª-System Prompt: Your destroyed the Demon Nest, gaining Experience +60,000. Reputation +100.

Chapter 177 - Chapter 177 Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool Chapter 177: Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool Graduation Chapter 177: Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool Graduation Flying set off again, and once more, the radar showed the red dot of the patrol soldiers swooping in¨Cthey were late! Because of this, Catherine was able to calmly play with the visibility range, evading them, and passed by them, hugging the edge of the map. Now, that¡¯s great, sparing the use of Mysterious Stealth Navigation¡¯s mana. More importantly, it was a race against time. After all, activating Mysterious Stealth Navigation greatly slows down the ship¡¯s speed. The Flying cut through the waves at full speed, heading towards the last Spider Demon Island. The old lady continued to use the time to rest, while Da Fei seized this precious opportunity to enter the Gun Cabin, attempting to breakthrough to Master Skill. Although the battle just now was a breeze, the experience gained was unimaginably high. The Banshees had grown, and with growth comes endless possibilities. Laughter and chatter came from the Gun Cabin, and Da Fei was suddenly overjoyed¨Cthis clearly wasn¡¯t the normal behavior of your average dummy troops, right? Plot! It must be triggering a special event! It must be similar to the scene before Didi and Lili came of age. This was undoubtedly a sign of maturation, a perfect opportunity for Mastery! Da Fei excitedly entered the cabin and saw that these high school girls were laughing and chasing after each other playfully¨Chadn¡¯t these little bears that bit each other when they were young now become as close as sisters? But, how long did it take them to grow from youth to adulthood? Only the length of a movie! A sense of vicissitude and profoundness from the passage of time suddenly settled in Da Fei¡¯s heart! If only time could stop here, don¡¯t grow up any further, don¡¯t get old! ¡°Master! Welcome, welcome!!¡± Seeing Da Fei, the group of darling pearly white Banshees cheered and swarmed over and excitedly said, ¡°Master, master, we have a new invention! You¡¯ll definitely love it!¡± A new invention? A skill they mastered before coming of age? Da Fei excitedly and curiously asked, ¡°What new invention?¡± The Banshees pointed to the Crossbow Cannon: ¡°We mounted telescopes on the Crossbow Cannon¡¯s sights, enabling us to kill the enemy more accurately!¡± What? Da Fei hurriedly looked at the Crossbow Cannon, and sure enough, there was a telescope mounted at the sight of every cannon! Damn! A sniper? ¡ª-System Prompt: You have acquired the information on the new type of Crossbow Cannon! New type of Crossbow Cannon? Da Fei hurriedly checked the Crossbow Cannon¡¯s attributes and saw that, behind the ¡°Knockback¡± and ¡°Piercing¡± on the Crossbow Cannon¡¯s special skill list, a new ¡°Precision Strike¡± had appeared! ¡ª-Precision Strike: Can ignore the target¡¯s Defense to a certain extent. Da Fei was so astounded that his jaw dropped! This actually worked! Yes, if the system says it works, then it works! Although mounting a telescope like this is something any player would do, the problem is, if the system doesn¡¯t recognize it as a skill, mounting it is useless, right? It only counts when triggered by a special event! Back then, seeing them use telescopes to find Spider Demon Heroes hiding in the sand, Da Fei thought they were incredibly smart and adorable. But he never imagined they would actually develop a new type of Crossbow Cannon from this! Amazing, truly amazing! This was not only their triumph but mine as well! This was the victory of my early childhood enlightenment education! The little troublemakers have grown up to be so promising! It would be an outrage not to become a Master like this! Da Fei, excitedly trembling, burst into uproarious laughter: ¡°Great! Everyone has done an amazing job! I¡¯m so happy, so incredibly happy! Haha! Wahahaha!¡± The Banshees were even more jubilant: ¡°If Master is happy, we are happy!¡± Da Fei excitedly said: ¡°Come, Master will teach you skills, you must study hard!¡± ¡°Yes, Master!¡± A flash of white light, and finally, the heavenly sound of a long row of system prompts arrived as expected, flooding the screen with the long-awaited message of Grandmaster breakthrough! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have used the ¡°Banshee Artillery Instructor¡± skill on the growing Elite Banshees, and you have successfully taught the Elite Demon Infants ¡°Master War Machine Science¡±! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have broken through the limitation of skills, and you have successfully mastered ¡°Master-level War Machine Science¡±! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have trained a brand new type of troops, you have mastered ¡°Master-level Special Soldier Training¡±! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Elite Banshee Army has officially matured, mastering the racial skill ¡°Chain Shooting¡±. You can rename this type of troops. ¡ª-System Prompt: You have acquired the assembly formula for the new type of Crossbow Cannon, and you can name this formula yourself. ¡ª-Elite Banshee (nameable): Elite Demon small-sized creature, Attack 30, Defense 20, Basic Damage 15-23, Health 320, Attack Speed 11, Fire Resistance 75%, Magic Resistance 50%, Command Value 6, Special Skills: Flying Creature, Charming Technique, Chain Shooting, Master War Machine Science, Crossbow Master. ¡­ Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Haha! Wahahaha! It¡¯s a success! Finally, I¡¯ve done it! From knowing nothing to self-taught mastery, I¡¯ve managed to turn this unique special soldier skill into a Master-level one! And even pushed my Crossbow Cannon to Grandmaster along the way! A Grandmaster Crossbow Cannon, legend has it that a foreign player during beta got Master information by continuously spending money to develop high-tech Crossbow Cannons, but ended up broke without any results by the end of beta, yet here I am, achieving results through a different path without spending much! I¡¯m so awesome! Why am I so incredible? Because that¡¯s just how incredible I am! Wahahaha, let¡¯s go see my beloved treasures that I¡¯ve painstakingly raised! Ah! They¡¯ve really grown up so big! It¡¯s a pity I have to maintain my image and take care of my dragon body! Looking at these Banshees¡¯ attributes, Da Fei¡¯s breath caught! Although their attributes are between those of level 6 and 7 creatures, and are far from Didi and Lili¡¯s 1000-health BOSS form, that¡¯s not important. The important thing is, they are Master-level artillery! The damage of the Crossbow Cannon = total attribute points of the artillery x Basic Damage of the Crossbow Cannon. Master-level Crossbow Cannon¡¯s Basic Damage is 6-7; with their Attack 30, Defense 20, totaling 50 attribute points, the overall damage is 300-350! And an Angel only has 300 health! Master Crossbow Cannon with 30 Attack just negates an Angel¡¯s 30 Defense, just enough to blast an Angel with one shot! Include Double Shot, and this damage is surely not something an ordinary creature¡¯s flesh and blood can withstand! And not to mention I can open fire with 32 cannons on both sides¨C even if a building with 200+ Defense can reduce the damage by 90%, how can it stand being bombarded by me for several rounds? Chapter 178 - Chapter 178 Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool Chapter 178: Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool Graduation_2 Chapter 178: Chapter 169 Return from the Abyss Blood Pool Graduation_2 Hahaha! I¡¯ve thought of a name for you guys, Artillery Emperor! Right, time is of the essence, on to the next training target! ¡­ At the Pool of Radiance, another burst of flames, the speed at which a section of the city wall is restored simply can¡¯t keep up with the rate it¡¯s being destroyed, and it finally collapses, leaving a breach. Deirdre flashes with golden light and levels up again. The Hellish Alliance Army cheers, while the players from Star Guild in the China Region look dejected and anxious, with a barrage of curses flooding the World Channel. Of course, they¡¯re not cursing Star Guild; they¡¯re cursing the ¡°cheaters and hackers¡± from the American Zone, after all, Star Guild has turned in a failing yet somewhat accountable answer sheet. At this moment, in the command center of the Elf Kingdom, all the NPCs are anxious, waiting for the return of the Super Hero, but the Super Hero is nowhere to be seen. The Great Elder bites his lip so hard it bleeds, his eyes bloodshot with rage as he stares at the map. Even the NPCs can no longer control the situation and may have to consider their last resort. Eternal Star holds a command meeting, preparing to plan one final, tragic and heroic last stand, an essential effort for Star to end their performance with an epic finale. Of course, it would be perfect if the Super Hero could save the day at the last critical moment or even turn defeat into victory. At this hour, on the densely populated Lake Island, Invincible Soldier, Invincible Wei, and a few newly recruited computer science guys are feeling downcast and remain silent. This battle not only cost them their kill count, but they also lost the scant Gold Coins they had to enemy PKs, and their merits exchanged for Druids went down the drain. Now, bereft of money and merit, these college entrepreneurs face their first setback. Finally, unable to bear the silence, Da Wei asks, ¡°What do we do next? We¡¯re not really going to pick up trash, are we?¡± Da Bing clears his throat and says, ¡°After we get out, let¡¯s group up and grind some basic-level instances for a few days, then save up to buy a medium-sized boat with a 100-cabin capacity. We¡¯ll take turns running merchant voyages and slowly expand our business.¡± The few computer science guys immediately protest, ¡°What¡¯s the fun in that? Boring. Count us out!¡± Da Bing urgently replies, ¡°Come on, we¡¯re not just playing, we¡¯re building a business!¡± ¡°Enough, enough, what business! We¡¯re just playing games, not planning to make money from them. Anyway, once we¡¯re out, we¡¯re going to level up, not accompany you on your wild antics.¡± Da Bing, frustrated, says, ¡°Why are you guys like this! You all agreed when you came!¡± Da Wei waves it off, ¡°Let it go, let it go, to each their own! We didn¡¯t do well, can¡¯t blame everyone.¡± Da Bing angrily retorts, ¡°What do you mean we didn¡¯t do well? It¡¯s clearly the Americans¡¯ fault¨Cforget it, just treat it like buying junk stocks and chalk it up to bad luck!¡± Once again, the group falls into a disheartened silence. The newly formed college entrepreneurship team faces dissolution after their setback. Another cannon blast outside the city, another section of wall collapses, causing a stir among the people on the island once again. And at this moment, the channel comes alive. ¡ª-Battle Channel [Uranus]: I¡¯m sorry everyone, I¡¯m Uranus from Star Guild. First, I want to apologize to everyone. We were unable to lead the China Region to defeat the Hell Zone. As the person in charge of the war zone, it¡¯s my fault. Now, we might not have any hope of turning the tables, but we won¡¯t just sit here waiting to be slaughtered. At the very least, we can do one last thing, and that¡¯s to take down the NPC hero leading their siege. That hero only has one life, and foreign zones are all looking to hire her away from us. We absolutely cannot let them have her cheap! Our entire Star Guild¡¯s remaining forces will spare no expense in sacrifice to take her down. Those willing to join, let¡¯s go! Immediately the whole island roars: ¡°Let¡¯s do it! Take her down!¡± ¡°We can¡¯t let the foreign zones win!¡± ¡ª-Battle Channel [Uranus]: Thank you, everyone! Please everyone stay calm and wait, our main force will charge to the front to carve a bloody path for you all, we¡¯re counting on you! The World Channel explodes with excitement again! ¡­ At the Abyss Blood Pool, the last outer defense of Spider Demon Island, the Flying is heading in the opposite direction, no doubt shaking them off far across the map. It¡¯s uncertain if the pleas for help from Spider Demon Island can still be heard by them. However, just to be safe, the old lady decides to create an illusion. The old lady has just used Magic Coordination, so now it¡¯s up to Selvia to cast it. It¡¯s great to have an apprentice! The old lady called Selvia over with a chuckling sigh, ¡°One cannot defy old age. After this battle, I can no longer push myself. I must preserve my mana to return home. From now on, it¡¯s up to you young people.¡± Ah, the old lady really can¡¯t do it anymore. Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Teacher, please don¡¯t force yourself! If it¡¯s really not possible, we¡¯ll return now.¡± Alright, I admit, I¡¯ve been too hypocritical. This journey has indeed worn her out quite badly. The old lady chuckled and sighed, ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter for me, but I cannot delay the future of you young people. The ship is good, it must be protected!¡± Da Fei laughed, ¡°Teacher, rest assured, it will definitely be protected.¡± The old lady nodded, ¡°Then let¡¯s begin!¡± The same tactic was about to be unleashed. Although it wasn¡¯t novel, the tried and tested battle strategy is the mature and reliable one. The difference was that the firepower of Da Fei¡¯s artillerymen was significantly greater this time. As the BOSS was once again lured into decapitation, these artillerymen emerged as the regular troops, enhancing the output of firepower. There was no suspense! With the Spider Demon Nest¡¯s scream, the final message flooded the screen! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have destroyed the Demon Nest, gaining 60,000 Experience. Fame +100. You have obtained a large spoils of war, golden spider silk. ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have defeated the Spider Demon Worm Nest trial guardian hero, achieving victory in the battle. You have gained 840,000 Experience. Your Hate Value among the Spider Demon clan is +10,000. ¡ª-System Prompt: You have achieved the ¡°11th Battlefield Victory¡± accomplishment. Extra reward Command Power +10. You have achieved the ¡°5th Glorious Battlefield Victory¡± accomplishment, additional reward Command Power +20, Hero Life +20. Is that all? Da Fei anxiously waited for more! Sure enough, a cold fog appeared laughing maniacally in front of Da Fei: ¡°You did not disappoint me¨C¡± Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief. At last, there it was, you didn¡¯t disappoint me either! What am I going through all these dangers for, if not for you? Hurry up with that permanent position! The cold fog continued, ¡°I am Taranna, perhaps an unwelcome name, but no matter. You have inherited my hatred will, and to achieve this is sufficient proof of my genius and greatness. If you are interested in making achievements as a Ranger, you may go to my homeland Oranto. You have redeemed me. You are the first one worthy of my gratitude. Thank you, and may my hatred will aid you in slaying enemies far and wide! Farewell!¡± The fog dissipated. ¡ª-System Prompt: You have completed the ¡°Tree Elf Resentment¡± quest, and you are now a Basic-level Ranger! ¡ª-Task Hint: You have acquired information about Taranna. Da Fei exhaled deeply, Not bad, turning a human into a Ranger, you are truly great! I truly admire you, and will visit your hometown when I get the chance. Now I have no more regrets, and have finally graduated from the Abyss Blood Pool. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Enough talk, time to resurrect the troops and get out! Now, the Teleportation Array on the deck of the Flying flickered with light, the old lady sweating profusely as she supported it with her last bit of strength! Da Fei, seeing this, broke out in a cold sweat. Old lady, I know, you must be scaring me! If an NPC says it¡¯s possible, then it is, right? The screen flashed a red alarm light, the Blood Pool patrols were late again! Their arrival was like a shot of adrenaline; the old lady shouted loudly, and with a flash of white light, the massive body of the Flying disappeared! Da Fei¡¯s vision blurred, the scene shifted! ¡ª-Boom! A huge splash of water echoed, and there was the familiar Pool of Radiance! Oh yeah! Brother¡¯s graduated and returned! And in just that instant, the world¡¯s screens flooded with blinding messages, overwhelming Da Fei¡¯s in-app purchase dog eyes. Damn! The world is really in chaos! (To be continued.

Chapter 179 - Chapter 179 Chapter 170 No One Is Allowed to Kill the Banshee Chapter 179: Chapter 170: No One Is Allowed to Kill the Banshee Hero! Chapter 179: Chapter 170: No One Is Allowed to Kill the Banshee Hero! As soon as I got back to the Pool of Radiance, the World Channel was flooded with messages like ¡°Go for it!¡±, ¡°Be majestic¡±, ¡°Fight hard¡±, ¡°Charge together!¡±, ¡°If you don¡¯t charge, you¡¯re not Chinese!¡± that almost blinded me! Holy smokes, these messages cost 100 bucks a pop, how many tens of thousands is this gonna send to the game company in just a minute? Suddenly, Selvia¡¯s exclamation rang in my ears: ¡°Teacher, are you alright?¡± I quickly turned around and there she was, Selvia, supporting Mrs. Anwen who seemed ready to faint. I exclaimed in alarm: ¡°Teacher, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Mrs. Anwen sighed softly: ¡°I¡¯m old and fragile, my mana exhausted, I can only escort you this far. Captain, you must defeat the demons and reclaim the Pool of Radiance, then find someone capable to teleport the ship out.¡± I promptly responded: ¡°Don¡¯t worry, teacher! Selvia, hurry and help the teacher to rest in the cabin, we¡¯ve got this!¡± Mrs. Anwen nodded her head, then fell silent. Looking at her, based on the mission background, Mrs. Anwen¡¯s time is up, huh? Watching her frail silhouette was like looking at a candle flickering in the wind, and I unexpectedly felt a lump in my throat. I shook my head fiercely. Damn it! She neither leaves too early nor too late, just passes away right after finishing her mission, imparting the last of her knowledge ¨C isn¡¯t that a most satisfactory and fitting end? Why the hell should I be sad! Yet, a tear still involuntarily fell from the corner of my eye as I let out a long sigh! I may be opportunistic when playing games, lawless, treating ¡°lives¡± as nothing, never hesitating when it comes to PKing players, but with NPCs, I give them all due respect and patience. Why, you ask? NPCs are the brains, the embodiment of game rules; respecting NPCs is respecting the game rules and benefits will follow. The more you invest, the more you gain. Even if an NPC schemes against you, there¡¯s no use holding a grudge against a computer ¨C it¡¯s just a game, and if you¡¯re screwed over, it¡¯s just because you¡¯re not skilled enough. Besides, even if NPCs scam players, they still have to follow game rules, they won¡¯t scam you to death. But with players, it¡¯s different. The virtual society formed by the internet is often more brutal; players are bottomless pits of ruthlessness, like yours truly. Players in the game PK, compete for equipment, bosses, hack accounts, deceive, or even retaliate in real life ¨C they¡¯re capable of anything. When a player scams another player, it¡¯s a scam to the death. For me, spending time with NPCs gives me a sense of security that I can¡¯t get from players. Some people grow fonder of dogs the more time they spend with humans; I grow more trusting of NPCs the more time I spend with players. Without a doubt, this lonely and perplexing solo trip in the Demon World, Mrs. Anwen has been my rock. She trained me, a self-proclaimed elite noob, into a true wise and helpful mentor. Now, as her mission comes to an end and she is about to leave, I am not heartless ¨C how could I be unmoved? Mrs. Anwen, thank you, and farewell! I calmed my sorrowful heart and checked the surroundings of the Flying. The radar showed it was clear, and not far from the tree roots was a long line of juggernaut ships ¨C the barracks where the Flower Demon Army held the captive Abyss Lord. The barracks were still there! My Abyss Lord was still there! I couldn¡¯t help but smile knowingly. Excellent, I¡¯ll head to the barracks and get a few more Flower Demons; enough time has passed for them to have bred more troops, right? This place is the edge of the Pool of Radiance so I¡¯ll rest for a bit first and recover the mana that the troops used up in the big battle. ¡­¡­. In the Elf Kingdom Staff Department, various NPC elders and officers were all anxiously twisted in worry. Suddenly, several officers shouted excitedly: ¡°He¡¯s back! Our Super Hero has triumphantly returned from the Demon World!¡± Like a shot of adrenaline, the Great Elder, with bloodied lips, roared with a mighty shudder: ¡°Good! So good! Not even the Demon World could stop our Super Hero; these clowns here are nothing in front of him!¡± The whole command center erupted into cries: ¡°Victory is in sight!¡± Finally, there it was! The moment Eternal Star, who had been agonizing and suffering in distress, couldn¡¯t hold back his tears anymore and burst into laughter. The last to laugh is me! An officer cried out, ¡°Super Hero has recruited 30 Flower Demon Army from Barracks 104!¡± The Great Elder hopped around manically as he yelled, ¡°Flower Demon my ass! Forest Goddess! Immediately initiate the World Tree emergency plan, and send the Forest Goddess to Barrack 104! Our Super Hero must be short on troops¨Csend as many as possible!¡± ¡°Yes, elder! Relay the order to initiate the World Tree emergency plan!¡± ¡ª-¡°World Tree emergency plan initiated, Level One preparation!¡± ¡ª-¡°World Tree emergency plan initiated, Level Two preparation!¡± The Great Elder stomped his feet hysterically and roared, ¡°Preparation be damned! Just initiate it!¡± As he spoke, his entire body flashed with Demon Light, and his hair and beard stood on end and whirled around like a Saiyan transforming. In that moment, the entire command post creaked and groaned wildly¨Cthe World Tree was vibrating! That¡¯s right, the General Staff was inside the World Tree. Although Eternal Star as an open beta expert didn¡¯t know what exactly the Forest Goddess was, from the name alone, he knew it was a high-class, formidable troop type that regular players couldn¡¯t even dream of obtaining. With this, victory was hardly out of reach! Eternal Star immediately ordered the command post, ¡°Victory is in sight, go all out! Don¡¯t stop!¡± At the same time, his heart was filled with a great desire to meet this Super Hero that the NPC took so seriously! ¡­¡­. The Flying approached the Flower Demon Barracks slowly and recruited 30 Flower Demons. The speed was a problem; after all, there wasn¡¯t much of a breeze. Da Fei looked around and saw many Flower Demon Barracks wrapped in spider silk and reclaimed by Spider Demon reinforcements. Got it, my Artillery Emperor Level artillery would sweep through, repair barracks, and whip up winds on the way back to the battlefield. My more than one thousand Flower Demons could fix up a barracks in seconds! And then, with a flash of golden light from the barracks, a sparkling Forest Goddess emerged. ¡ª-System Prompt: 1 Forest Goddess has joined your forces. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched¨Cwhat¡¯s going on? Wasn¡¯t it said that a barracks could only recruit one Forest Goddess? While still in surprise, the barracks flashed with golden light again, and this time a group of Forest Goddesses flew out! ¡ª-System Prompt: 12 Forest Goddesses have joined your forces. Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped to the ground! What was happening! The golden light kept flashing! 9! 7! 11! 15! For a moment, Forest Goddesses poured out of the barracks like dumplings, continuously joining Da Fei¡¯s troops, astonishing Da Fei to the point where his mouth hung open without closing for a long time! Holy shit! Was the system cheating for me? Or was this the reward for keeping a barracks? None of this made sense, right? Or was it a reward for a triumphant return? The golden light lasted for ten seconds before finally ceasing. In total, more than 150 Forest Goddesses had joined Da Fei¡¯s forces, and now he had a team of 200 Forest Goddesses! That¡¯s 200 units with Advanced Healing Technique! That¡¯s like having ten Selvias! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei finally snapped out of it and burst into crazy laughter¨Calthough he didn¡¯t know what was happening, it was definitely a good thing! Just then, ¡ª-Battlefield Broadcast [Old Jiang]: Players from China Region! Our Super Hero has taken action, victory is within reach, go all out to kill the Banshee Hero! The entire battlefield broadcast was in an uproar! Da Fei was suddenly shocked¨Cwhat? Killing the Banshee Hero? Holy shit! Nobody is allowed to kill her¨CI¡¯ll fight you all! (To be continued.

Chapter 180 - Chapter 180 Chapter 171 Healing Regardless of Nationality Chapter 180: Chapter 171 Healing, Regardless of Nationality Chapter 180: Chapter 171 Healing, Regardless of Nationality Around the peripheral of Pool of Radiance Island, under the restraint of Star¡¯s last remaining forces, amidst heroic music that resonated throughout the venue, players from the China Region, their blood boiling with fervor, launched suicidal attacks on the siege¡¯s Banshee Hero. Most of them were commanders with no troops left; they rushed forward just to throw a Magic Arrow at the Banshee¡¯s battleship or simply to fire an arrow. However, the majority of the charging players fell under the focused fire of the Fire Elements from the Hell Escort Fleet. But even so, under the relentless charges of the players from the China Region, who united as one and kept resurrecting without considering losses, the fleet¡¯s formation finally became disordered, and the Banshee Hero¡¯s battleship was exposed to all Chinese players! The China Region boiled over with excitement! All main Druid heroes of the Star Annihilation Group rallied and charged at the Banshee¡¯s battleship ¨C if each of them cast a single lightning spell, the Banshee¡¯s battleship would be reduced to ashes! The Indian Zone panicked, the Japan panicked! Their original plan was to capture the Resurrection Point on Lake Island after breaching the walls, officially declaring victory in the national war. But the wild actions of the Chinese players struck right at their weak point! Without her, what good is a national war victory? The Hell Race hurriedly deployed a large number of battleships to fully encircle the gap surrounding the Banshee¡¯s battleship. At that moment, the news of the Super Hero¡¯s arrival sent shockwaves across the battlefield! The players¡¯ morale from the China Region surged as they collectively chanted, advancing toward victory, forward! Forward! FORWARDDD!!! At this time, Flying with its Magic Sails fully unfurled, cut through the wind and waves at lightning speed to rescue the main battlefield. Even with a gentle breeze, the contribution from Catherine¡¯s Grandmaster-level Sailing at 120%, Master-level Pirate at 25%, coupled with Da Fei¡¯s Advanced Navigator at 30%, gave a total of 175% speed bonus ¨C an existence that those who didn¡¯t know Sailing Skill and manned the massive oared ships could hardly look straight at. Da Fei stared at the World Channel and the battlefield channel that exploded with messages, his eyes bulging with bloodshot rage; he clenched his fists, grinding his teeth, tense with anxiety, his face twisted! Nothing must go wrong! Please, nothing! Brother is coming! Brother will never let you participate in that annoying Heroic Trial again! Brother would rather keep you confined in the barracks for life, not caring whether you become a hero or not! This is the selfish love of a brother. Without you, where would brother be today? ¡ª System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A vast number of hostile fleets are ahead of you! The radar on the small map showed large patches of red and green clouds. Green clouds represent the allied forces¡¯ camps. Da Fei waved his hand: ¡°All hands, prepare for battle!¡± Druid and Flower Demon troops who were meditating, eating, and drinking water on the deck started to form up and stand ready for battle. The Forest Goddess Druid sat in the middle of the deck, with Flower Demons protecting both sides of Flying. Who to fight? Isn¡¯t that a dumb question? Whoever attacks my dearest Deirdre, brother will wipe them out! Yes, I¡¯m talking about you, Star! Instead of fighting foreign players, you kill NPCs; this is sickness and needs to be cured! And those Asans, don¡¯t be anxious; coming from far away to cross regions and seek treatment shows your illness is severe. It must be cured! Da Fei, a noble man, pure and aloof from low-grade interests. Without regard for national borders or ethnicity, not seeking any reward, healing patients ¨C what kind of spirit is that? This is a spirit of selfless internationalism! Flying emerged from the underground darkness into the battlefield, and in an instant, the gazes of tens of thousands of players converged on its gigantic figure. Suddenly, the battlefield was abuzz, the world was abuzz! ¡°It¡¯s Da Fei!¡± The entire China Region exploded with a roar! Eternal Star dropped his jaw in shock! It was actually Da Fei! Did father miss something very important! ¡°Damn it!¡± At this moment, Blood Sea Wave¡¯s face twitched as his eyes bulged with blood! If it weren¡¯t for the fact that his frogman tactics wouldn¡¯t work against the larger ships, Blood Sea Wave couldn¡¯t guarantee he wouldn¡¯t forget national justice and take out this trash. ¡°Oh! Shit!¡± ¡°Yamete!¡± The US-Japan-India Command Center erupted in turmoil! What to do? The participation of this state-of-the-art mega-ship rendered everyone¡¯s minds blank! There she is! At this moment, Da Fei headed straight toward Deirdre¡¯s battleship, toward the very center of both battlefields, advancing at all costs! That¡¯s right! Find her, get close to her, take her away! Through thousands, I march forth! Block him, sink him! The Multi-nation Joint Army¡¯s instinctual reaction was to deploy more than a dozen enormous oared ships to charge at Flying. Their move, however, created a massive opening for the Star Guild! ¡°Now¡¯s our chance! Charge!¡± Hundreds of light boats from the Star Guild, like water planes, timely swooped in! ¡°Charge! To victory! Star shall never fall!¡± In that moment, all the spamming on the World Channel and the battlefield channel synchronized into this single phrase ¨C Star¡¯s spamming prowess was number one in China! ¡°Fuck it!¡± Da Fei quickly spoke in the battlefield channel: ¡°Don¡¯t kill my Banshee!¡± But Da Fei¡¯s words were instantly drowned out by Star¡¯s massive group spam! That¡¯s right, in the face of Star¡¯s spam team, ordinary players simply had no opportunity to interject! Damn, I¡¯m a celebrity who dazzles upon entry! Look closely with your big dog eyes when I, your boss, am speaking! ¡ª System Prompt: Sorry, you are speaking too fast. Please wait a while before speaking in the channel again. Are you forcing me to impose forced treatment? Da Fei commanded with a sweep of his arm: ¡°Flower Demon Army, mobilize!¡± As a dark cloud of Flower Demons swooped across the sky, all Chinese players in the venue were further shocked and excited, screaming as if injected with chicken blood! With so many Flower Demons attacking, the Hell Heroes would have no chance of escape! Out of nowhere, a dense swarm of bees descended upon Star Guild¡¯s assault team ¡ª buzz!!! A tremendous echo resounded underground, ah! Thirty beams of players¡¯ deceased white lights soared into the sky! A row of spamming battlefield notifications instantly halted Star Guild¡¯s spamming frenzy! ¡ª Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei killed China Region player Neptune¡­ ¡ª Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei killed China Region player Polar Star¡­ ¡ª Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei killed China Region player Ziwei Star¡­ ¡ª Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei killed China Region player Jinx¡­ ¡­ The entire battlefield fell silent in an instant! All Chinese players were dumbfounded, all foreign players jaw-dropped, everyone simply could not believe their eyes ¨C did they see it wrong? At this moment, the remaining Star assault squad members charge at the Banshee out of inertia amidst their shock and confusion. And then, the second wave of Flower Demon Bee Swarm buzzes in! ¡ª- Ah!!! Another thirty beams of white light ascend! ¡ª- Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei has killed China Region player Netherworld Star¡­ ¡ª- Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei has killed China Region player Fire Meteor¡­ ¡ª- Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei has killed China Region player Heavenly Evil Star¡­ ¡ª- Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei has killed China Region player Earth Demon Star¡­ ¡­¡­ The entire battlefield erupts in a shocking blast! If the first attack could be attributed to a slip of the hand, a misfire that accidentally killed allies, then this second wave was clearly intentional! The people are enraged! The battlefield is in uproar! ¡°Traitor! Traitor to the nation!¡± ¡°Race traitor! Lackey!¡± ¡°A nationwide bounty of 100,000 real-life money to hunt down Da Fei!¡± ¡°Kill the traitor first, that big piece of trash Da Fei!¡± ¡°Kill Da Fei!¡± ¡°Kill Da Fei!!¡± ¡°Kill Da Fei!!!¡± Old grudges and new hate, eradication of traitors, justice for the poor and justice for all, a thousand words converge into one: ¡°Kill Da Fei!¡± Faced with the people¡¯s fiery condemnations, Star falls silent. Already short on troops, what do they have to confront this traitor with? What do they have to confront this towering battleship with? The sudden turn of events also startled the Hellish Alliance Army. Though they didn¡¯t understand what exactly was going on, the enemy of an enemy isn¡¯t necessarily a friend, especially when victory for the Hellish Alliance Army is within sight, and they didn¡¯t need this unidentified friend. It¡¯s just the usual infighting among the Chinese. The main goal remains unchanged¨Cto seize the opportunity of internal conflict among the Chinese and sink this threatening warship! At this moment, Da Fei, facing his long-missed red name status, facing a string of reputation deduction prompts, facing the outrage from the World Channel, scoffs with disdain: ¡°F*ck off, getting called a traitor for PK-ing a few gamers, y¡¯all really sick, need to get treated!¡± Now, Deirdre is right before his eyes! The Flying, with a speed unimaginable to ordinary players, bursts into the center of the battlefield. Its enormous hull and the huge waves it generates scatter the green leaf boats blocking its path, cutting the entire battlefield in two. This also means the Flying will be taking fire from all sides. Da Fei shouts to the Star players thrown aside by the collision from his high deck, ¡°Move aside, wait for bro¨CAh!¡± -27! -31! A Double Shot flies from the shadows, and two large red numbers erupt above Da Fei¡¯s head! ¡ª- System Prompt: Attention! You have been rightfully counterattacked by China Region player Skyhawk Star! Rightfully my ass! Da Fei quickly ducks back onto the deck, not bothering to argue with these morons. Bro¡¯s going to show you with actions, you don¡¯t understand my level! Facing the dozen or so assault ships breaking through the waves on the right, Da Fei sneers, ¡°Perfect timing to restore my reputation! Artillery Emperor, take aim at enemy heroes with precise strikes!¡± ¡ª- Boom crack crack crack!!! 16 Crossbow Cannons on the right side fire in unison, and rows of Crossbow Arrows howl through the air! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! More than a dozen players¡¯ death rays shoot into the sky and their death reports flood the chat! ¡ª- Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei has killed Indian Zone player Sanjami¡­ ¡ª- Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei has killed Japan Zone player Ghost Saber¡­ ¡ª- Battlefield Report: China Region player Da Fei has killed a Japan Zone player¡­ In that instant, the battlefield falls silent again! All players are dumbfounded, puzzled about whose side this trash is on. Of course, compared to the astonishing strength displayed by Da Fei, his stance has become irrelevant. Everyone is just wondering: Why, under the same blue sky, in the same global village, are players so different from each other? Blood Sea Wave was badass enough to begin with, then came an even more badass SawSaw, initially thought to be a product of cheating, now another mass-killer Da Fei has emerged! Right, SawSaw! Perhaps only SawSaw could take on Da Fei? All players are looking forward to the earth-shattering showdown! But, SawSaw doesn¡¯t appear¨CAmerican dignity is not to be trampled! Getting close! Seeing her, Deirdre inside the cabin! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei beckons her passionately, ¡°Come back!¡± And in that fleeting moment, Deirdre leaps up with a smile, ¡°Master, welcome back!¡± ¡ª- System Prompt: Trial Hero Deirdre has joined your forces!

Chapter 181 - Chapter 181 Chapter 172 Flipping the Table and Quitting the Chapter 181: Chapter 172: Flipping the Table and Quitting the Game! Chapter 181: Chapter 172: Flipping the Table and Quitting the Game! Watching the banshee take flight and hurl herself into Da Fei¡¯s arms, the entire battlefield was shocked to its core. So this banshee can fly! Star finally realizes the ridiculous thing he has done! But why would this banshee fling herself into his embrace? It turns out the banshee¡¯s main affection was for this person! The suspicious Japan and India players also realized the ridiculous thing they had done! You¡¯re finally back! Da Fei, holding his beloved sweetheart, laughs heartily! People, can you ever really earn enough money or level up completely? I was wrong! Da Fei deeply regrets the ridiculous thing he had once done. Deirdre giggles and says, ¡°Master, after my learning, I have become a Trial Hero. Once I reach level 50, I¡¯ll be a formal Hero!¡± Da Fei nods excitedly: ¡°I know, I know, I¡¯ll make sure you safely reach level 50!¡± Hmph, I¡¯ve almost saved up 10 million experience, just wait until we get out, won¡¯t your level just skyrocket! Deirdre laughs again: ¡°To welcome Master¡¯s return, I¡¯ve successfully rescued thousands of Flower Demons from the watchtower, and they¡¯re now housed in over thirty cleared-out barracks!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: You have completed the Epic Quest ¡°Purification of the Pool of Light¡± side quest ¡°Rescue Enslaved Flower Demons,¡± and you have gained +1 million experience! Your reputation among the Flower Demon Race has become ¡°Revered¡±! ¡ª Task Hint: Congratulations! Your reputation among the Flower Demon Race has become Revered. Flower Demons will come to reside in your territory if it meets their living conditions! Oh wow, what a pleasant surprise! The problem I¡¯ve been racking my brain over was actually solved undercover by her; it¡¯s two bits of good news at once! Truly worthy of being my darling. All the heartache and the headaches were worth it! Wahaha! Someone¡¯s roaring laughter is so jarring in this highly anticipated battlefield. The Banshee Hero¡¯s embrace suddenly halted the curses filling the World Channel, and the intense battlefield fell into a temporary ceasefire. Everyone¡¯s gaze was fixed on the giant ship at the center of the battlefield, a power that could dominate the course of conflict. Everyone is pondering their next move. At this moment, Eternal Star is absolutely conflicted. Although there¡¯s a lot to discuss with him, why only do so now? Having lost the initiative, showing a pleading attitude now is too obvious, and if Star¡¯s conversation is publicized, where would the leader of the top guild put his face? Since he¡¯s not really treated as one of their own abroad, might as well make a move using the situation as leverage. For the Hell Camp, the hope of victory is incredibly slim. The only thing to do, like what Star did a moment ago, is at all costs, even if it means rallying the strength of thousands of players, to sink this giant paddle ship! Absolutely can¡¯t let him return to the surface world! For players from the Japan Zone and India Zone, this feeling of being humiliated and fooled is unbearable! This is an insult to the nation, and even if the enemy is powerful, we must fight to the last like the ¡°jade shattered¡±! At this time, a great wind blows and the sails hum as Deirdre¡¯s return brings back the Ancient Wind from above, once again stirring the Pool of Radiance. It really is ¡°the dragon brings clouds and the tiger brings wind¡±! Just as I was worried about the ship not being fast enough, wahaha! Facing those Hell Race warships itching to make their move, Da Fei coldly smiles. It¡¯s time to show my Chinese heart to my countrymen and shut up those foul talkers! Of course, I know some are displeased seeing me with a big ship, ready to backstab and kill in red name, but my ship¡¯s port guns are waiting for you! But, with the shape you¡¯re in now, even if you want to take me down, you don¡¯t have the strength! And just then ¡ª boom! An explosion of flames roars on a giant paddle ship in the center of the battlefield, bereft of players, revealing a figure burnt black like charcoal. All Hell players can¡¯t help exclaiming, ¡°NPC elder!¡± ¡°Traitor, why have you betrayed me!¡± Siriel no longer looks cool, but his majestic voice still resonates across the battlefield! Deirdre changes color, ¡°Mas, Master¡­ how did you get here?¡± Siriel wrathfully says, ¡°For this battle, I spared nothing! Why betray me, why have no faith in me?¡± Indeed, Siriel has personally joined the battle! He kept sacrificing his own strength to summon Fire Elements for reinforcements for players, and now his level dropped to 30, just enough to enter the barrier. Or maybe he kept sacrificing his strength precisely to enter the barrier and personally accomplish the task entrusted by the Demon King. His arrival revitalizes the despairing Multi-National Joint Army! Perhaps this powerful mage could cast a Fireball and blow away that wooden ship? Feeling Deirdre¡¯s fearful trembling in his arms, Da Fei suddenly realizes something. Banshees as creatures always recognize the strongest as their master. Before officially winning her over, anything could happen! Right, first we fill him with small talk, and while he¡¯s focused on speaking, I¡¯ll enter range and one-shot him! An 8th-level warrior hero can¡¯t withstand my broadside, let alone you, a mage hero reduced to level 30. Da Fei tightly embraces Deirdre, taunting Siriel with a laugh: ¡°While others progress and become stronger, you regressed and grew weaker. Who¡¯d be blind enough to have confidence in you?¡± ¡ª-Ah choo! Players from multiple nations spat out a chunk of snot! Siriel roared furiously: ¡°Die!¡± His charred body, like wind-swept coal ash, burst into flames once again. Suddenly, a huge fiery red array appeared above the Pool of Radiance. From within the array, countless burning meteorites howled down! Meteor Shower! The whole place was shocked! Players of the Hell Race shouted aloud! Da Fei pissed himself on the spot! Damn it! This guy knew I was going to bombard him, so he cast this kind of large-area ultimate move. That way, even if he¡¯s hitting me, I still can¡¯t reach him! Meteor Shower, Master Level damage = 50 + 25x Magic Power. Its power isn¡¯t much stronger than that of a same-level Fireball, but the attack range is super huge. And this Siriel is an Epic Hero, his Magic Power value, his auxiliary skills, his equipment bonus, all these are enough to boost the Meteor Shower¡¯s damage to a downright terrifying level! What¡¯s more important is that the Meteor Shower descends from the sky and is completely unavoidable and unblockable! No, there is still a way to block it! Da Fei immediately pulled Deirdre into the cabin! ¡ª-Boom boom boom boom boom!!! The Flying burst into flames and shook violently, countless Chinese Region players died, their white lights of death soaring into the sky, hundreds and thousands of Green Leaf Boats blazing fiercely, the entire battlefield above the Pool of Radiance turned into a sea of fire! The World Channel was in an uproar, players of the Hell Race, except those from Japan and India, all screamed excitedly! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Flower Demon Army has suffered 1800 points of Magic damage. The Flower Demon Army will sustain continuous damage from the fiery blaze. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Druid Army has suffered 575 points of Magic damage. The Druid Army will sustain continuous damage from the fiery blaze. ¡­. ¡ª-System Prompt: The Flying has suffered 1800 points of Magic damage. The Flying¡¯s Durability has decreased by 1800 points, and the Flying will sustain continuous damage from the fiery blaze. ¡ª-System Prompt: Warning! The Flying¡¯s 2nd mast and sails have been burned to ash, the aft cabin is on fire, and the ship¡¯s bow is damaged! How is magic damage to buildings calculated? It depends on the magic¡¯s attribute, the material of the building, and which part of the building the magic attack is striking. Stone fears ice, steel fears thunder, wood fears fire, crystal buildings fear earthquakes. In short, fire elements are death to wooden ships without question! Originally, both sides of the battleship¡¯s hull had been heavily equipped with iron armor and weren¡¯t really afraid of ordinary fireballs shot over, but what can it do in the face of a Meteor Shower which is like an unstoppable Palm of Buddha? Ah choo! Staring at the shocking damage numbers, looking at the burning Flying, Da Fei sprayed out blood in shock! My ship has a total of only 2800 hit points; if it¡¯s bombarded again, it¡¯s all over! Let alone the next bombardment, this guy is actually killing enemies with the sub-skill ¡°Ignite,¡± and not necessarily relying on the not-so-powerful Meteor Shower itself! But who dares to say his power isn¡¯t great with that 1800 damage? Damn, this is the work of a Level 30 hero! Just how strong are his basic attributes? No! It¡¯s not that he¡¯s strong, it¡¯s that my ship is too fragile! A normal large ship has tens of thousands of hit points, even a BOSS has more hit points than my ship. At this moment, Catherine¡¯s exclamation rang out: ¡°Use water to extinguish, sand to put out fire! Change the sails and repair the ship!¡± Da Fei was already scared to piss, and also shouted: ¡°Medical troops! Retreat from the battlefield at full speed!¡± As for where to flee to, Da Fei didn¡¯t think and didn¡¯t have time to think. The thing a person on fire wants to do the most is probably just to jump into a swimming pool. Damn system cheating! It¡¯s a fight between players, and an NPC comes out of nowhere to interfere! In short, Star, this awesome NPC is up to you guys, I¡¯m outta here! A burning ship, coming in haste, leaving in haste, became a moving lighthouse amidst the astonished cries of all players as it escaped into the dim depths underground! Siriel was charred again, coughing up a mouthful of magma he gasped harshly: ¡°What are you waiting for? Attack!!!¡± Hell players howled: ¡°Victory!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Hell Race¡¯s giant paddle ships were lined up, charging like unstoppable cavalry towards the broken Lake Island for the final assault. Faced with the strong NPC-led Hell Army, the China Region had no more power to resist. Amidst the cursing from around the world, the Lake Island Resurrection Point was lost! From now on, with every death of a China Region player, they won¡¯t respawn on Lake Island but will be directly eliminated from the game! At the Elf Kingdom General Staff Department, they experienced the great ups and downs, joys and sorrows of life. The Super Hero was ultimately no match for the aged hero of the opposition, the defeat was sealed. Eternal Star suggested: ¡°Elder, let¡¯s flip the table!¡± Eternal Star wanted Da Fei to set his ship on fire and then hit headwind. That¡¯s right, let a Da Fei, who is notorious, out of control, acting bizarrely, and who has killed so many from their own guild, flip his ship and be done with it. Without a ship, what is he? The Great Elder¡¯s eyes bulged with rage as he kicked over the Pool of Radiance map table: ¡°We¡¯re done with this, unleash the Ancient Storm!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 182 - Chapter 182 Chapter 173 The Baptism of the Light Storm Chapter 182: Chapter 173: The Baptism of the Light Storm Chapter 182: Chapter 173: The Baptism of the Light Storm Flying made a frantic escape from the battlefield. Along the way, the sailors were busy extinguishing fires and repairing the ship; the Forest Goddess and Selvia were continuously healing. Up and down the deck, everyone was in a frenzy, but at least the fire and injuries were under control. Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief. Damn, if my ship wasn¡¯t inherently so weak, I would have charged right through the firepower and taken Siriel down. At this moment, the World Channel was filled with curses; it seemed China Region was about to lose. Da Fei sighed deeply again. With great power comes great responsibility. Could it be that I¡¯d somehow become the villain of the China Region? If I could join the battle normally, I would have crushed the Hell with ease. It¡¯s just a pity that I¡¯m so powerful that even the system had to intervene. All of a sudden, a wave of sorrow and melancholy surged in Da Fei¡¯s heart, the feeling of having no way to serve his country despite his martial skills. Truth be told, deep down, I¡¯m a patriot too. It¡¯s just that I never had the time or energy to express it. Although a stronger country might not benefit someone like me much, there¡¯s definitely no benefit if the country isn¡¯t strong. So I still hope for a strong nation. Winning a national war in the game might not have an actual impact on national strength, but winning is still better than losing. Besides, outside of the game, how else can I contribute to the country¡¯s strength? What should I do now? Can I still make it back there? Given my current condition, it¡¯s even less possible to defeat Siriel. Just then, the hum of the wind came from above, the calm waters of the Pool of Radiance began to ripple, and the Flying started shaking violently! Da Fei was taken aback. What was happening? An Ancient Storm, a powerful tempest summoned by the World Tree amplifying the Ancient Wind, which could completely cleanse itself of impurities. Its effects were akin to a person sneezing or coughing to clear their throat. Of course, unleashing an Ancient Storm required the consumption of the World Tree¡¯s divine power, so the World Tree wouldn¡¯t easily summon it without good reason. The last storm happened a thousand years ago, during a full-scale invasion by the Hell Race. Facing numerous demon attackers, the World Tree unleashed a massive storm, effectively withstanding the demon assault until the reinforcements, led by Legendary Hero Gru, arrived. This time, the storm was aimed at a bunch of level 30 children, so the scale wasn¡¯t very high, but given that the Flying had just been through a fire, it was still a significant challenge. Naturally, as long as the Elf Kingdom had unleashed the storm, it meant they had lost this war of attrition. ¨CSystem Prompt: Warning! The World Tree is about to unleash an Ancient Storm, and the dark creatures will face its wrath and cleansing! Da Fei was suddenly shocked, a storm? Damn it, did they really think I¡¯d be tossed around just because I possessed Storm Navigation? Obviously, regular Ancient Winds enhanced light magic and thunder, and a storm-level wind would do even more so. Da Fei immediately stashed Deirdre and all the Little Banshees and Charming Emperor Cannon Emperor into the Banshee Camp! The camp was in the Otherworld and wouldn¡¯t be affected by the storm. Then, Catherine resumed issuing commands to the sailors to brace for the storm. Having experienced the baptism of the Blood Sea Storm, her instructions were now much more efficient and swift. Sailing truly was a refining ordeal; the only progress left wanting was me¨Cugh! What more progress could I make? ¡­ The sudden gale left the multi-national joint army, who had just captured the Lake Island and were cheering and awaiting the victory announcement from the system, completely dumbstruck! ¨CAh choo! Siriel spat out a burst of molten lava, pointing to the sky in fury, ¡°I want to see what you Elves can do to me!¡± Siriel¡¯s body erupted in flames again, lava gushed endlessly, then solidified in an instant, turning him into a glass statue! ¡°So cool!¡± a chorus of awe erupted from the Hell players. As long as the commander held steady, there¡¯s no problem. A thunderous bolt echoed beneath, akin to an ancient horn, as the wind roared in. Waves surged on the Pool of Radiance, and under the stunned cries of all the Hell players on the island, the Lake Island was submerged with a splash¡­ The storm was upon them, and the Flying adjusted all sails accordingly. ¨CSystem Prompt: You braved the storm and gained 2,600 experience. Had it been on the open sea, they would have lowered all sails. If faced with the kind of monstrous waves like those in the Abyss Blood Pool, they¡¯d have to raise sails to maintain maneuverability and dodge the waves. As for now, the storm wasn¡¯t as extreme as the Blood Pool, but the lake was full of tree roots, and a collision would be catastrophic! So this operation was even more challenging than the Abyss Blood Pool. A huge wave came crashing! Catherine steered swiftly behind a cluster of roots, boom! The wave hit the roots and sent water splashing everywhere! That¡¯s right, with strategic maneuvering, the roots could become the Flying¡¯s wave barrier. And given the arrangement of roots in the Pool of Radiance, the scale of waves wouldn¡¯t be too high here. A mere 2,600 experience points was proof of that. They could survive it! In the Abyss Blood Pool, Catherine had already honed the skill of sailing amidst storms, and her brilliant maneuver just now bolstered Da Fei¡¯s confidence. His heart surged with the waves¡¯ rise and fall. Just then, a celestial harmony echoed once again. ¨CSystem Prompt: The Flying absorbed the light energy from the storm, and the life of the ship¡¯s materials began to awaken! The Flying¡¯s durability limit increased by 24! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! The Flying upgraded to level 3, with an additional 500 durability limit, 20 defense, and a maximum speed increase of 1. Da Fei was taken aback at first, then overwhelmed with joy! It came! It truly worked! The old lady was right; the Flying had both a Divine¡¯s Blessing and Curse of Misfortune, perfectly compatible with both light and dark energy! ¡°Life begins to awaken,¡± this was essentially the ship-repair reward for completing the purification mission, akin to the storm in the Abyss Blood Pool! Hahaha, perfect timing! All those arrangements on the ship before my expedition were just waiting for this moment! Da Fei pointed to the sky, ¡°Come on, let the light energy come even stronger! Hahaha!¡± ¡­ Elf Kingdom¡¯s capital, Farolan City, World Tree Square. Tens of thousands of players who had been defeated gathered densely in the square, waiting for the final results to be announced. Although they lost, participation was what mattered in the national war, and the system would still give some rewards. At this time, the senior officials of Star Guild were passionately recruiting in the square¡¯s center: ¡°Even though we¡¯re afraid of no nation in the world, our forces are insufficient against a multi-national alliance. Join our Star Guild, and next time, we will showcase the elegance of Chinese players on the national war stage¡­¡± The masses clamored, ¡°We want to see the number one beauty, Bu Feiyan!¡± ¡°Bring the beauty over to dance a belly dance, and we¡¯ll join!¡± ¡°Um, sorry, Miss Bu Feiyan is currently on a mission.¡± ¡°Damn! She¡¯s undertaking a task instead of participating in the national war? Not doing a pole strip dance gets her a bad review!¡± ¡°Yeah, bad review! Bad review!¡± The crowd suddenly gasped, ¡°It¡¯s Blood Sea Wave! The God-level Hero, Blood Sea Wave!¡± Blood Sea Wave wasn¡¯t in a good mood and couldn¡¯t care less about the system rewards, pushing through the crowd toward the teleportation array, ignoring the players trying to greet him or add him as a friend. The reason for his bad mood was being instantly defeated by SawSaw. Though no one blamed him, as many experts were also defeated instantly, Blood Sea Wave felt uneasy. Especially since SawSaw didn¡¯t attack when the trash appeared, what did that imply? It implied that SawSaw was also wary of him¨Cit¡¯s all because of that massive dreadnought ship! That should have been my dreadnought! The more Blood Sea Wave thought about it, the angrier he got, his heart bleeding, and his desire for a dreadnought growing more fervent! He must acquire one! Blood Sea Wave immediately thought of the Tiger Shark Pirate Battleship owned by Desolate Barbarian Pirate Leader Rock! Blood Sea Wave¡¯s brow twitched. This Rock spent all day in debauchery while it was Master Barak who went hunting; did Barak have no thoughts about it? Blood Sea Wave began trying to recall any hints from conversations with Barak about replacing Rock. Even if he didn¡¯t have any, he¡¯d make trouble anyway, wouldn¡¯t he? Just then, two players blocked his path: ¡°Brother Tao, please let us join your studio!¡± The interruption annoyed Blood Sea Wave. He glanced at these two, who went by the names Invincible Soldier and Invincible Wei, and smirked with disdain. Only the weak took such lousy names, and they should be heading to a big communal place like Star Guild. Blood Sea Wave coldly said, ¡°Star is recruiting, why don¡¯t you join them?¡± Invincible Soldier quickly said, ¡°We think following Brother Tao promises a better future.¡± Blood Sea Wave had half a mind to slap this idiot. Wasn¡¯t this obvious? But, forget about tagging along with nobodies like Agou and Amao. This national war failure was all because there were too many Agou and Amao in the China Region, making people think the region was strong. Blood Sea Wave said coldly, ¡°Rank within the top 1,000 in the WCG or CPL leagues first.¡± With that, he left proudly, leaving the two players stranded in the wind. One was entirely clueless, ¡°WCG, CPL, what are those?¡± The other knew too much, ¡°Damn! Can he afford to pay the wages of players ranked in the top 1,000?¡± ¡°We better pick junk and go solo.¡± ¡°Loser, keep looking for someone to cling to!¡± ¡°Hey, hey, you¡¯re the one who said soloing was good!¡± ¡°Soloing doesn¡¯t work; we need to stand out now, or our spots will get taken when school starts!¡± ¡­ The Pool of Radiance, the storm had finally passed, and the entire pool emitted a refreshing fragrance. Not only was the Flying not heavily damaged, but it also increased its durability limit by 1,000! Da Fei erupted in laughter. I¡¯ve laughed until the end again! ¨CSystem Prompt: You experienced a mysterious storm and have acquired information for becoming an expert-level navigator. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Heroine Catherine received information for God-level Navigation Skill. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia received information for Master-level Light Magic. Selvia acquired the skill information of Master-level skill ¡°Storm Coming.¡± Da Fei was taken aback; even Selvia obtained information? Storm Coming? The legendary Master-level Light Magic designed to counter the Air Force? Obtained two pieces of information in one go? Da Fei was soon relieved! Well, yeah, with so much light energy in the storm, the principle was the same as with the Demon God Storm in the Blood Pool! So that¡¯s how it is! I¡¯ve learned another method to reach the Grandmaster level, which is to roam places with harsh elemental environments, hahaha! Flying approached the ruins of the Lake Island city wall, and a red dot appeared on Da Fei¡¯s radar. He was startled! No way, there were survivors? Da Fei pulled out his telescope and, whoa! What was that! (To be continued.) Chapter 183 - Chapter 183 Chapter 174 National War Ends Chapter 183: Chapter 174 National War Ends Chapter 183: Chapter 174 National War Ends In the center of the Lake Island, a humanoid statue stood majestically, looking up to the sky! But the red dot on the radar clearly told Star that this was definitely not a statue. But no matter what it was, at this point, whatever he encountered, he would just destroy it. The Flying sailed from the outer broken walls into the Lake Island. The hull started to tilt, preparing to aim the cannons at the statue. Just at that moment, the statue flashed red and quickly melted. A charred figure fell to the ground, laughing heartily: ¡°I won! I won!¡± Star was suddenly shocked, damn! It¡¯s Siriel again, is he a monster? But his momentum was gone, and even by fighting, he could be fought to death. Suddenly, he felt a huge shadow cast over him. Siriel turned his head abruptly, and then the massive figure of the Flying appeared in front of him. He exclaimed in disbelief: ¡°Why! How is this possible!¡± Only then did Star discover he was not even at level 5, even lower than Deirdre¡¯s level! This Light Storm really could torment people, couldn¡¯t it? Whether it was on a whim or because Star thought he no longer posed a threat, or perhaps wanted to bask in the victory in front of the loser, Star lowered his hand, which was ready to fire, and decided to chat with him. It is said that a person¡¯s words are mournful when death is near, and the feeling of chatting with the enemy is often very different. Especially now, without an audience, he could only continue to keep the NPC company for a while in this single-player game; life is boring and needs to find some entertainment. Star chuckled, ¡°Unexpected, isn¡¯t it? I won. Do you have anything else to say?¡± Siriel sighed deeply, ¡°If even the Abyss Blood Pool can¡¯t stop you, then the storm just now really was nothing. I have nothing to say. I just want to know how you made Deirdre betray?¡± Talking about women, huh? That¡¯s my favorite! Star couldn¡¯t help but jest, ¡°Could it be that you have improper thoughts about Deirdre?¡± Siriel snorted coldly, ¡°To demons, high-ranking Enchanting Demons are extremely valuable treasures.¡± So that¡¯s it! No wonder Deirdre remained unafraid even when he cursed her and threatened to kill her. She truly saw through a man¡¯s desires at a glance! Star chuckled, ¡°It was a setup long before you took office.¡± Siriel finally realized, ¡°I see, I got shafted by that pig of a predecessor again. But as a human who can control a Banshee like her, you are also extraordinary. I have nothing to say in my loss. Kill me.¡± Ha ha ha! Those are indeed words I love to hear. Satisfying! Time to send you on your way! ¡ª-¡°Wait, Master!¡± Deirdre¡¯s voice came from the cabin. Star involuntarily paused, What¡¯s going on? Deirdre suddenly soared up and flew to Siriel¡¯s side, helping him up. What?! There¡¯s a scandal! No, no, this is just a game, where¡¯s the hanky-panky coming from. Fine, say whatever you have, I¡¯ll endure! Later, I¡¯ll blast him to bits! Siriel sighed deeply, ¡°Indeed, you are deserving of being my student. You made the right choice. Well, I hope I can die at your hands.¡± Damn! Heroes don¡¯t die, what¡¯s the point of getting emotional! Uh? Star suddenly realized he didn¡¯t have a Hero Aura anymore! Damn! Seriously, he downgraded so much he lost his Hero Aura? Even an old granny isn¡¯t as unlucky as you! But thinking of the old lady made Star¡¯s heart sink. Deirdre sighed, ¡°Thank you, Master Siriel. Although we are on opposing sides, you will always be the mentor I respect the most. Is there any wish you have that I can help fulfill? For instance, regarding that Lord Delib, I know you fought so hard because of her. I think she should at least know your feelings, at least shed a tear for you¡­¡± Siriel sighed, ¡°It¡¯s meaningless now. She would only cry for the destruction of the Phantom Crossbow Cannon, not for me, a loser. My biggest regret is that the God-level Destruction Technique hasn¡¯t been achieved. I originally thought the Wisdom Ancient Tree could enlighten me, but ridiculous as it is, it¡¯s just a tree after all and can¡¯t help me advance.¡± Deirdre cried, ¡°Master, let me, your useless disciple, inherit your last wish!¡± ¡ª-Ah poof! Star spat! Turned out she wanted his inheritance all along! How thick-skinned can you be? But, I like it! Siriel shook his head, ¡°You can¡¯t. As a Banshee, you¡¯re only suited for Dark Magic. Learning Destruction Skills would only lead you astray!¡± Damn! I can¡¯t stand you anymore! Since you won¡¯t give it, why mention it? Star shouted, ¡°Hand over the God-level Destruction Technique, and I¡¯ll spare your life!¡± Siriel immediately asked, ¡°Really?¡± ¡ª-Ah poof! So you¡¯re not keen on dying, huh? That¡¯s true, considering he thought he was winning just moments ago. The psychological gap hasn¡¯t even been adjusted, why would he want to die? So he deliberately spilled about the god-level for bargaining to save his life? Aren¡¯t you afraid I¡¯ll just kill you for it once I have it in hand? Deirdre couldn¡¯t be bothered to pretend anymore and wiped her tears coldly, ¡°Master, your defeat already marks the failure of this war between factions. You no longer hold the value to be killed. Just hand over anything valuable, I¡¯ll plead with Master to spare your life. I¡¯ll trade it with my ¡®Love Manual.¡¯ Based on my analysis of Lord Delib¡¯s character, you¡¯d have at least a fifty percent chance of success if you returned.¡± ¡ª-Ah poof! How black-hearted can you be? But, I like it! Siriel laughed, ¡°You really are my disciple. Let¡¯s make the trade.¡± Deirdre nodded, ¡°Alright!¡± But she didn¡¯t move. Neither did Siriel. Star was dumbfounded, what is this? Finally, Siriel sighed, ¡°I don¡¯t need you to support me. Let me fetch it.¡± Deirdre laughed coldly, ¡°If I let go, you¡¯ll just run!¡± Star spat again! So that¡¯s the reason! Damn, I really don¡¯t understand the demon world, I¡¯m too kind-hearted, too pure! So, my chattering earlier actually gave him a chance to escape, what a close call! But since his failure signifies the end of the National War, whether he lives or dies is just a matter of whether I get the loot or not. And that difference is significant! Siriel shook his head and sighed, ¡°Alright, not even my Flame Demon could comprehend the profound meaning of the god-level, giving this to you doesn¡¯t matter!¡± The space in front of Siriel twisted and a red Magic Book with flaming flames appeared in the air. Hell! This guy apparently doesn¡¯t need to use his hands to fetch things. Stuff like this which is kept in his Space Bag definitely can¡¯t be looted, only traded like this. Siriel sighed, ¡°Can you let go now?¡± Deirdre chuckled, ¡°Where¡¯s the gear?¡± Siriel laughed lightly, ¡°Kill me! The mentor is quite poor.¡± ¡ª-Ah poof! Going all out, right? You¡¯re so confident this God-level Destruction Technique will tempt me! Deirdre turned to Star, ¡°Master?¡± Star laughed, ¡°Just this book will do.¡± Deirdre reached out with one hand to the book wrapped in the Space Shield and released his arm with the other. In just an instant, a red light flashed, and his charcoal-like body collapsed with a loud thud. Damn, is this his way of escaping? Indeed a high-class, stylish exit! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have received the book ¡°Siriel¡¯s God-level Insights on Destruction Magic¡±! At that moment, a system prompt chimed! ¡ª-Battle Report: Hell Camp Commander failed, Hell Camp ¡°Attack Radiant Pool Task¡± failed! ¡ª-Battle Report: Elf Camp Pool of Radiance lost, Elf Camp ¡°Guard Radiant Pool Task¡± failed! ¡ª-China Region World Announcement: Notice! The National War between the Hell Race and the China Region Elf Clan across various zones has ended! The battle result is the Elf Camp of China Region won! The time limit for the Hell Plane Projection has expired, and Hell Race players from each zone will soon be transported back to their respective planes. ¡ª-World Zone World Announcement: Notice! The National War between the Hell Race and the China Region Elf Clan across various zones has ended! The battle result is the Elf Camp of China Region won! The results were out! The China Region won! They actually won? All the players waiting for a detour fee at the Elf World Tree Square couldn¡¯t believe their eyes! But they did win! The entire channel of the China Region burst into excitement, and the team spamming with the victory slogan finally erupted: Star! Star!! Star!!! The entire China Region, the entire world, remembered China¡¯s Star! At this moment, Star was utterly stunned! Damn it! Are you kidding? It was clearly I who saved the China Region, wasn¡¯t it! If not for my perseverance, the victory would have been the foreigners¡¯! I am the national hero, you should be shouting ¡°Brother Fei! Brother Fei!!¡± instead! In the Elf Kingdom Staff Department, besides the wildly ecstatic Eternal Star, the other NPC officers couldn¡¯t feel happier. The map table of the Pool of Radiance had long been kicked over by the Great Elder, so they didn¡¯t know that the Super Hero was still alive and thought this victory resulted from vast expenses of the Ancient Storm, even the NPCs didn¡¯t know Star was the contributor! In any case, the officers had been busy for many days, and after arranging the follow-up cleanup, they each left to wash up and get some sleep. Eternal Star also finally had his fill of oppressive suffocation here and excitedly ran to the World Tree Square, ready to give a speech in front of the China Region and international media to celebrate. This battle, Star shone infinitely. ¡­ Lake Island, a few green lights waved down from the top of the World Tree, and more than a dozen level 30 NPC officers descended on the battlefield. When they saw the Flying, they were suddenly shocked: ¡°The Hero is still here!¡± Star said sarcastically, ¡°What, thought you could avoid giving me my reward by drowning me?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Everyone laughed, ¡°Warrior, you are truly humorous. Though the war is over, our subsequent tasks have not been finished, especially the reconstruction. There¡¯s a difficult cleanup project here. Could the Hero lend a hand?¡± Star replied reluctantly, ¡°I¡¯m not in the mood, I want to claim my reward.¡± Everyone laughed, ¡°The Pool of Radiance hasn¡¯t been purified; how can the Hero leave?¡± ¡°Exactly, only after the Pool of Radiance is completely purified, the Hero¡¯s warship can be fully restored. It cannot remain in this state!¡± Only then did Star realize, indeed, the task wasn¡¯t complete! He had almost forgotten, but now, it should be quite simple! (To be continued.

Chapter 184 - Chapter 184 Chapter 175 The City Lord of the Lake City Chapter 184: Chapter 175: The City Lord of the Lake City Chapter 184: Chapter 175: The City Lord of the Lake City Now several NPC officers are briefing Da Fei on the current situation. ¡°Hero, we are now facing the following issues, first of all, of course, is the purification of the Pool of Radiance. In this campaign, our Pool of Radiance has been heavily contaminated by the Hell Army, severely damaged, and it will take some time to recover, which requires the healing powers of the world itself. But the problem is, our World Tree has just launched an Ancient Storm and has entered a brief dormant state, so the purification time will be further prolonged.¡± Da Fei was stunned: ¡°How much longer will it take?¡± ¡°Of course, until the World Tree awakens. It could be two or three years, or even four or five years. The key is whether our cleanup efforts are conducive to the recovery of the World Tree.¡± ¡ª-Ah Puh! Da Fei spurted a mouthful of blood in shock. Game time is 10 to 1 compared to real time, a year in the game is 36 days in reality, two to five years is half a year in real time! What advantage do I have left! Da Fei hastily asked: ¡°Does this mean that it will be at least two to three years before my ship can be repaired?¡± The officers nodded and smiled: ¡°Correct. Although the hero¡¯s ship has gained some growth in the storm, compared to the fully charged Pool of Radiance brimming with rich life energy that could completely resurrect decayed wood, there is still a significant difference. So we suggest the hero to wait for good news, after all, the most challenging stage has already been passed.¡± Damn it! I didn¡¯t put much effort into the national war, am I facing retribution now? Da Fei shook his head and sighed: ¡°Tell me, what else do I need to do?¡± The officers solemnly said: ¡°With the World Tree in a dormant state, its defenses will be reduced, and in the otherworld space connected by the World Tree, there is a Wisdom Ancient Tree Nasir cursed by demons. Nasir may have turned into a Demon Tree now, which poses a significant threat to the dormant World Tree. The warriors we previously dispatched were incapable of achieving success, so we have to entrust this arduous task to you, our hero. You are our Super Hero, you will surely succeed!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have received the quest ¡°Purify Nasir Wisdom Ancient Tree Space¡±! You have obtained the quest item Purification Staff. ¡ª-Task Hint: The Nasir Ancient Tree has been cursed and mutated. If it can be purified, then purify it; if not, completely destroy it. Compared to the expedition to the Abyss Blood Pool, this task is nothing. Da Fei shook his head indifferently: ¡°And? Tell me all at once.¡± The officer continued: ¡°Although we have won this war, the Hell Power may not just let it go. The defense of the Pool of Radiance will continue, so the Kingdom has decided to build a base near the Pool of Radiance, and we are looking for a suitable candidate to manage the base and guard the Pool of Radiance!¡± Da Fei¡¯s spirit suddenly lifted: ¡°A base? Build a city?¡± The officers nodded: ¡°Yes, build a city, right here! The World Tree has used so much Divine Power to develop this island at the bottom of the lake. Of course, we should make use of it. We are here to survey the terrain and prepare for the city construction.¡± I guessed right, I¡¯m definitely getting a city here! Dammit, get to the point! Da Fei quickly asked: ¡°Then who do you think is the appropriate City Lord candidate?¡± The officers chuckled: ¡°This is not something we can decide, but we think you, Hero, are a very suitable candidate indeed!¡± Isn¡¯t that obvious! If I¡¯ve risked my life and they don¡¯t award me the city, that would be utterly unreasonable! Da Fei eagerly asked: ¡°So how can I become the City Lord?¡± Right at that moment, laughter came from the ship: ¡°If the Captain is interested in taking on this burden, I indeed could put in a good word with the higher-ups to recommend the Captain.¡± Da Fei turned excitedly: ¡°Teacher, you¡¯re better!¡± The officers hurriedly saluted: ¡°Hello, Professor Anwen!¡± Anwen, supported by Selvia, walked down the ladder of the Flying with a tremble, not looking good at all! After greeting everyone one by one, Anwen smiled at Da Fei and said, ¡°I don¡¯t have much time left. I must go back and handle some matters. I am very happy to have spent the last moments of my life doing something so meaningful by the side of such a young and promising Captain. Goodbye!¡± Da Fei finally couldn¡¯t hold back, tears streaming down his face: ¡°Teacher¡­¡± Anwen patted Da Fei¡¯s shoulder and chuckled, ¡°Keep up the good work!¡± A green light from the Underground Sky shone on Anwen; as she smiled and waved goodbye, and as Da Fei¡¯s eyes blurred with tears, Anwen¡¯s figure gradually became hazy until it finally disappeared. ¡ª System Prompt: Your subordinate hero Anwen has left your army. You have gained 50 Druid troops. Gone, leaving the troops she brought, an endless sense of melancholy surged in Da Fei¡¯s heart. While he was lost in sentiment, a group of officers broke the sorrowful mood with a laugh: ¡°With Professor Anwen¡¯s recommendation, the position of the City Lord is almost certainly yours, hero. But the position of the City Lord is a big responsibility, especially since we lack the strength to transport supplies underground while the World Tree is dormant, and we can¡¯t produce troops from the Pool of Radiance¡¯s Flower Demon barracks. So, if we want to build the city quickly, we must make use of all the resources we can collect around the Pool of Radiance.¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°Just say it straight, we¡¯re going to raid the coastal Hell Camps, right?¡± The officers laughed, ¡°In any case, hero, there¡¯s no need to worry about the engineering. But now, time is pressing, so please lead your troops to the Nasir Ancient Tree Space; we can use the power of artifacts to teleport you there.¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°I¡¯ll get ready.¡± This task might not be as significant as the Abyss Blood Pool, but there¡¯s a problem¨CDa Fei relies on his ship at sea for dominance, but on land, it¡¯s uncertain! What if the task turns dire and leads to heavy casualties? It¡¯s okay with the other troops; even Selvia can be resurrected, but the Banshees can¡¯t¨Cthey require the Dark Resurrection Technique from Dark Magic. Right, Light Magic and Dark Magic are the easiest for players to remember, complete opposites. Righteous Power for attack, Pain Torture to lower attack; Extraordinary Divine Power to increase damage, Weakness Curse to reduce damage; speedy action to increase speed, Delay Magic to slow down. Likewise, normal creatures can be resurrected with the Resurrection Technique, but the Hell Race, Undead Race, and other Dark Creatures must use Dark Magic. Dark Magic Deirdre knows, but she¡¯s still far from ready, and she¡¯s a one-life precious darling that Da Fei wouldn¡¯t risk sending into battle. In short, leave the Banshees behind. With 50 Druids, 200 Forest Goddesses, and thousands of Flower Demons, who could be afraid of not getting the task done? Once preparations were complete, Da Fei said to the officers setting up the Array, ¡°I¡¯m ready! Let¡¯s set off.¡± The officers replied, ¡°Your excellency, Flower Demons cannot go to battle; we suggest leaving them here to assist us with the initial construction.¡± What? We can go to the Abyss Blood Pool, but not to Curse Space? Damn it! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei reluctantly said, ¡°I still have several thousand Flower Demons, all housed in barracks in the lake. I don¡¯t know if they survived the storm, but you can use them for construction.¡± The officers were overjoyed: ¡°Great! Now that the World Tree is dormant and barracks can¡¯t produce troops or transport them in large numbers, we were really short on construction workers.¡± ¡°You really live up to the City Lord title that¡¯s been set up for you, Lord. You indeed have the capability!¡± Da Fei laughed heartily; predetermined, huh? There¡¯s nothing I dislike more than these two words, but now, I like them! Now that the Array was set up, the officers exerted their strength together, and with a flash of light, Da Fei¡¯s scene changed¨Che had arrived at the Ancient Tree Space. (To be continued.

Chapter 185 - Chapter 185 Chapter 176 Encounter with the Goddess in Dreams Chapter 185: Chapter 176: Encounter with the Goddess in Dreams Chapter 185: Chapter 176: Encounter with the Goddess in Dreams Cursed Ancient Tree Space, the scene kept changing. Sometimes it was Hell Magma, sometimes a dark swamp, Black Mist Forest, and then, out of these eerie scenes, groups of monsters would strike unexpectedly, making defense impossible. From when the National War started to when it ended, it was a full day, and Star¡¯s first beauty Bu Feiyan progressed slowly in the Ancient Tree Space. Initially, there was a large group of backup strategists offering advice. Later, as the National War broke out, the strategists were busy commanding the battles and couldn¡¯t care less about themselves, leaving her to fight alone. And later still, the space changed more and more frequently, even leaving no time to go to the restroom. Bu Feiyan couldn¡¯t help it, as she didn¡¯t live at the company. She was playing the game from her home. Among the high-level professional players in Star, her ¡°working from home¡± was a special privilege. After all, as a beauty, she couldn¡¯t stand playing games amidst a group of smoke-filled guys exuding various unidentifiable odors. Bu Feiyan was tired, annoyed, and angry! Anyway, with the National War ending and China Region¡¯s victory, why should she care about the success or failure of this one task? She might as well just die back and call it quits. However, as a professional expert, she knew that the more frequently the scene changed, the closer she was to the cursed tree. She really didn¡¯t want to fall short of success. So she endured and continued! Perhaps the World Tree after the storm stimulated the Ancient Tree Space, mutant creatures appeared endlessly. Bu Feiyan keenly sensed the scene¡¯s disruption and decided to ignore the interference of the changing scenes, killing all the way, tracking the source of the creatures, finally discovering a Space Gate, finally arriving! Bu Feiyan let out a long sigh of relief and immediately called the command center, ¡°Found it!¡± After quite a while, sparse applause sounded in the Star Command Center. Everyone was busy celebrating the National War victory, busy making appearances in front of players nationwide and worldwide. Bu Feiyan suddenly felt outrage! As Star¡¯s darling, the goddess in the hearts of homebody guys, making appearances and enjoying the adoration of thousands was always Bu Feiyan¡¯s patent, right? Such a large scene, even those unkempt, pot-bellied slobs were showing up, but there was no room for Bu Feiyan? Intolerable! Bu Feiyan turned up the loudspeaker to maximum and blasted the command center again with a high-decibel cannon! Yes, this ¡°gentle and kind¡± goddess in the hearts of thousands of homebody guys was at her core an extremely vain woman. ¡­ The scene changed, Da Fei arrived at the so-called Ancient Tree Space, barely had time to take a clear look around, when the familiar alarming red light roared to life! ¨CSystem Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Warning! A large number of unknown creatures lurk in the Otherworld, please be alert! Otherworld creatures! Da Fei¡¯s radar indeed showed a large field of red dots, his heart tightened. He immediately converged his troops into a group while inspecting the surrounding environment. Currently, he was on a black plain, and not far ahead was an area of Hell Magma! Hey hey! This was too inconsistent, right? Even more inconsistent was, to the left of the lava was a swamp, to the right a barren forest! Moreover, it was still blurry and hard to see clearly. Damn, was this PS trace too obvious? The game¡¯s art designer definitely didn¡¯t graduate from Lanxiang, right? So this was the so-called Ancient Tree Space? Where is the tree? Oh! I saw it, the biggest red dot on the radar, that must be it, right? Nothing else to say, maintain combat formation and move forward in the direction of the big red dot. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Serbia cast the Master-level Light Magic ¡°Righteous Power¡± for your entire troop, Troop Attack +15. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Serbia cast the Master-level Light Magic ¡°Power of Tenacity¡± for your entire troop, Troop Defense +15. Heh, that¡¯s the advantage of having a Priest Hero in the team. Although I don¡¯t have a large ship, I still can¡¯t be matched by ordinary wild monsters. Looking at the terrifying troop boosted by 20 points of Strategic Attack from myself, 30 attack from Ranger class, in addition to 15 attack due to Magic, Da Fei¡¯s courage rose sharply! I remember back at Newbie Island, when Renior boosted my Attack by 50 points, even a tiny Level 1 gunner like me could instant-kill Level 4 troops. Now I too reach his level! I have 50 Druids, 200 Forest Goddesses all are Level 4 ranged, plus 50% mastery bonus from Master Level Archery. Even if these ambushed monsters are Elite, how could they withstand several rounds of my shots? The lurking monsters appeared, their blurred forms hadn¡¯t even fully materialized before the dense barrage of Magic Bullets and arrows from the Druids and Forest Goddesses smashed them in an instant! Heh! Instant kill! Want to ambush me? Your positions have long been seen through by my God-level Reconnaissance Technique! The troop advanced all the way across the black plain, unstoppable as they smashed monsters. But what puzzled Da Fei was why the scene ahead was constantly changing? And why did it appear like a mirage, so close yet out of reach? Da Fei curiously looked back at the path he had walked; the black plain was gone, behind was a scene of PS Hell Magma. So this was the so-called illusion? What¡¯s the intent of such an illusion? For ambush? Where is the task difficulty? Finally, a Space Gate appeared ahead. Without overthinking it, whatever comes, comes, Da Fei entered. The scene changed again, and a wave of heat hit him, under the dark red sky, a giant tree in burning flames appeared in front of his eyes. Is this the thing? ¡°Uh?¡± ¡°Ah!¡± At this moment, Da Fei discovered a player team ahead. And that player team also discovered Da Fei at the same time. ¡°Bu Feiyan!¡± The legendary homebody goddess, my dream girl! This must be in a dream, right? For a moment, Da Fei felt as if time stood still! ¡°Da Fei!!!¡± The entire Star Command Center exploded into chaos! He was just at sea, how come he shows up here now? Could it be that it¡¯s easy to get in here? Of course, none of that mattered anymore, the point was Da Fei had a notorious red name and could do anything! In that instant, the first reaction of Star¡¯s professional experts was to kill him! ¡°Can you kill him? Little Deng doesn¡¯t have much troops now.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not a problem to kill him! The problem is he brought two Vice Heroes, and his troops are robust!¡± ¡°Are you kidding me? He brought two Vice Heroes yet still reached Level 30! I didn¡¯t dare bring Vice Heroes to level up!¡± ¡°What kind of troops are those golden Flower Demons?¡± ¡°Talk about the point, what do we do now?¡± ¡°Babe Trap!¡± ¡°What the hell!¡± Bu Feiyan angrily said, ¡°You bunch of rubbish, I¡¯ll do it myself!¡± ¡­ At this moment, looking at the goddess with meticulous vigilance, Da Fei felt alarmed inside! I am a red name! She¡¯s guarding against me! Damn it, she¡¯s obviously here to kill me, right? Hey, hey, hey, don¡¯t play like this, come on! I finally have a chance to meet my goddess, and fate pulls such a prank on me? Greet her for an autograph and friend request to ease the mood? How much risk is that! If she focus-fired and instantly killed me, my troops would be decimated! These rare troops, like the Forest Goddesses, would be gone if they collapsed! Damn! I told you I hate dealing with players! If it were NPCs, it¡¯s either kill or not, no such headache! Simply put, all or nothing, even if it¡¯s a goddess, I¡¯ll kill you! Just pretend she¡¯s an NPC! But killing a girl, man? Word would spread worse than being a traitor, how would I ever find a wife? In the midst of his dilemma, Bu Feiyan spoke from afar, just out of one arrow¡¯s distance, ¡°Are you on a mission too?¡± Ah! The goddess spoke to me first! Da Fei was both pleasantly surprised and uncertain, ¡°Uh, yeah!¡± Bu Feiyan smiled, ¡°Can we do the mission together?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSystem Prompt: Bu Feiyan has sent you a team-up request, do you agree? Ah! Teaming up with the goddess! Well, to team or not to team? I mean, she¡¯s such a celebrity, with the reputation of a large guild, she shouldn¡¯t do anything underhanded, right? Damn it! What¡¯s there to be afraid of, obviously I¡¯m in a stronger position, she has no choice but to yield, right! A man¡¯s whole life is about struggling because of women, and not daring to accept the goddess¡¯s request to team up, can I still be called a man! Agree! ¨CSystem Prompt: You joined Bu Feiyan¡¯s team, task-sharing mode is activated. Bu Feiyan waved to Da Fei from afar, ¡°Come over! Let¡¯s fight together!¡± Da Fei took a deep breath, ¡°Coming!¡± (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for recommendations and monthly tickets on .

Chapter 186 - Chapter 186 Chapter 177 The Shadow of the Human Demon Chapter 186: Chapter 177 The Shadow of the Human Demon Chapter 186: Chapter 177 The Shadow of the Human Demon Da Fei¡¯s team entered the enemy¡¯s range, and of course, the enemy¡¯s team also entered Da Fei¡¯s range. The difference was that Da Fei¡¯s troops could easily knock out her standing in the front line, but she definitely couldn¡¯t take down Da Fei hiding at the back. Having the main commander fighting at the front was a big taboo in the game. The saying ¡°Those who fight brave battles are always in the front¡± basically translates to ¡°Only fools fight at the front.¡± In reality, she was originally standing at the back. It was just that Da Fei appeared behind her, turning the backline into a frontline, and she didn¡¯t retreat to the back either. In comparison, Da Fei¡¯s courage was one step behind. Right now, the entire Star Command Center was tense, everyone unsure of what Bu Feiyan intended to do. Nothing happened, and Da Fei¡¯s troops arrived beside Bu Feiyan¡¯s troops. Bu Feiyan stepped forward, reached out with a smile, and said, ¡°Hello! I¡¯m really happy to have help during the toughest part of the mission.¡± Looking at her outstretched hand, and the beautiful Elf in the game with skin as fair as snow, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but swallow. I¡¯m shaking hands with the goddess of my dreams! Even though it¡¯s just in a game, this makes my life worth living! Da Fei felt his outstretched hand tremble slightly! Whoa, whoa, whoa! Too much of a loser! This isn¡¯t good! The goddess will just laugh at me! I¡¯ve got to show some manly charm! Da Fei cleared his throat and said, ¡°Aren¡¯t you afraid of me? I¡¯m notorious.¡± Bu Feiyan chuckled, ¡°Not at all!¡± Damn! Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped: ¡°My reputation is really bad, I PK people like cutting grass!¡± Heh, can you feel the tremble in my arm? Scared yet? Bu Feiyan laughed, ¡°But do you know me?¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Seen you on TV.¡± Not just seen, I¡¯ve even fantasized! Bu Feiyan¡¯s smile grew even sweeter, ¡°Exactly. I am playing games for a large guild. If soldiers die, it¡¯s the guild¡¯s soldiers dying. If equipment breaks, it¡¯s the guild¡¯s equipment breaking. If the mission fails, it¡¯s the guild¡¯s loss. My boss has a big business and doesn¡¯t care, so why should I, a hired hand, care?¡± Ah, sploosh! Da Fei and the entire Star Command Center laughed out loud! Eternal Star was so angry he trembled! Well, I must admit, her thinking is just like Da Fei¡¯s! What¡¯s the company¡¯s loss to me? As long as I don¡¯t lose anything! So, she¡¯s a kindred spirit, huh? In that instant, Da Fei felt the goddess before him was even more endearing! Truly, it¡¯s not the same to meet someone in person as it is to just hear about them. But isn¡¯t it a bit inappropriate for you, as the spokesperson for Star, to be saying this? Wait, is she hinting something to me? That¡¯s right! She¡¯s hinting that Star isn¡¯t afraid of any lone players! Just like when Da Fei worked at the company before, there was no real company loyalty. Lazy and disrespectful, treating clients like dirt, and occasionally feeling gleefully malicious like, ¡°What if the boss goes bankrupt because of me?¡± Would the boss go begging for food? Wow, the thought is just exhilarating! So, killing as many Star members as possible isn¡¯t a big deal, but as for me? I can¡¯t afford to lose! Like right now, what if she suddenly throws a tantrum and takes me out in a PK battle? I¡¯d really be done! For a time, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but feel a chill. Bu Feiyan smiled and said, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s cooperate now. I just tested, and this tree is beyond saving. It¡¯s easier to just kill it!¡± At that moment, the twisted face on the tree¡¯s trunk struggled and wailed, ¡°Save me! Don¡¯t give up on treatment!¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s beyond saving!¡± Compared to saving it, which seems to require crossing countless lines of fire, simply shooting it from afar is much easier. Plus, being able to relax while shooting monsters and chatting with the goddess, what could be more carefree? And so, Da Fei¡¯s Druid Forest Goddess Army and the Goddess¡¯s Jungle Hunter Corps stood far at the perimeter shooting, while Da Fei mingled and chatted with the goddess. The goddess giggled and asked, ¡°By the way, what¡¯s this golden Flower Demon soldier of yours? It¡¯s ranged and its damage isn¡¯t low!¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°It¡¯s a system reward. Seems like a special unit from the World Tree.¡± The goddess nodded, ¡°I see. Then how did you get here so quickly? It took me a day to enter this scene.¡± Da Fei was surprised, ¡°Was it really that hard to enter?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s quite troublesome.¡± Da Fei laughed, ¡°I didn¡¯t think so¡­¡± Heh, if a man wants to win the goddess¡¯s heart, he must show his abilities, make her admire him! But while showing off, he must also remain mysterious. That¡¯s right; I won¡¯t tell you I have the God-level Reconnaissance Technique! At this moment, the ancient tree got irritated by the shooting and roared, ¡°Why give up on treatment! Why!!¡± Suddenly, a horde of mutated monsters came howling from the top of the tree! The goddess cried out, ¡°Be careful!¡± Heh, perfect! Facing a crisis with steadiness, this is truly the time for me to show off my expert style and manly demeanor! Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ve got this!¡± Just then, Da Fei¡¯s information beeped. Who the hell is this? Da Fei saw that it was Lei Huolong! Lei Huolong: ¡°Brother Fei, do you have time now? Can we talk about the inheritance matter?¡± Damn! Da Fei replied impatiently, ¡°I picked up a task and haven¡¯t come out yet.¡± Lei Huolong replied, ¡°I see, then Brother Fei, take your time, but please try to be quick. The bank will be very busy during the New Year.¡± Damn! It¡¯s not like I¡¯m withdrawing cash, what¡¯s the bank got to do with it! Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something: ¡°Oh yeah, Brother Lei, do you know what hobbies the top beauty in the China Region, Bu Feiyan, has?¡± They¡¯re all top professional players in China and part of the same circle, these otaku surely know more about an otaku beauty like Bu Feiyan, right? At this moment, Ma Yinglong, who was on the Lei Huolong account, suddenly froze, Brother Lei!? The shift in attitude was too fast and disgusting! Could it be that Star was using a Babe Trap to win over Da Fei? Damn! I¡¯m going to ruin you! That¡¯s right, in important negotiations, Ma Yinglong would often act all relaxed and rich by sending subordinates to negotiate, but it¡¯s usually himself in an alternate account! Though dirty, it works well. He can ruthlessly haggle, scam people, and if there¡¯s a complaint, just say subordinates didn¡¯t handle it well. If it can¡¯t be negotiated, just blame the higher-ups. Effortlessly strategic. So wearing Lei Huolong¡¯s disguise, Ma Yinglong probed: ¡°Brother Fei, you wouldn¡¯t be trying to court her, would you?¡± Damn it, Brother Fei, using an alias has its downsides. Da Fei quickly replied, ¡°No way, this is just a toad wanting to eat swan meat, asking just for fun.¡± Ma Jialong chuckled, ¡°Brother Fei, do you know that when professional experts go into battle, they have a whole group of people watching the TV wall as advisors?¡± Da Fei was startled, ¡°Ah, that sounds very sophisticated.¡± Ma Jialong laughed, ¡°Brother Fei, do you know what time it is now?¡± What time? Da Fei checked, it was 2 AM! Damn, another day passed without realizing it! Da Fei was surprised, ¡°What do you mean, Brother Lei?¡± Ma Jialong laughed, ¡°I only know that Miss Deng is actually a social ace, not an otaku, meaning her account is managed by the company¡¯s people. It¡¯s this late, I think she¡¯s surely applying a cucumber mask and sleeping. Staying up late is a big enemy of beauty. Anyway, aside from a few people in their company, who knows if it¡¯s her on the account? It might even be a foot odor demon man!¡± ¡ª Ah, sploosh! A foot odor demon man! One that cons money and love? Da Fei shivered all over! Ma Jialong laughed, ¡°Anyway, that¡¯s all I know; Brother Fei, take care!¡± In an instant, the mood of Da Fei, who was soaring, plummeted. However, confirming if it¡¯s a demon man is simple, this game allows live video connections! But there¡¯s still a problem; there¡¯s a whole bunch of advisors watching behind her! Are they watching me like I¡¯m performing tricks? And if I ask her for a video, and she asks me back, then what? After all, she¡¯s frequently on TV and doesn¡¯t mind being seen by others, but I¡¯m always ready to accept an award and care about being seen! Once again, Da Fei¡¯s mind was tangled. In the face of Da Fei¡¯s heavy firepower from afar, the ancient tree¡¯s monstrous attack was trivial, quickly swept away. Bu Feiyan smiled as brightly as a flower, ¡°Not bad, not bad, very strong!¡± Da Fei said woodenly, ¡°So-so.¡± Bu Feiyan smiled, ¡°No matter what, we¡¯re comrades in arms now; let¡¯s add as friends?¡± ¡ª System Prompt: Bu Feiyan would like to add you as a friend, do you agree? The goddess actively wanted to add as friends! Isn¡¯t this supposed to be something to make Da Fei overjoyed? But no matter how you look at it, it felt like the demon man had sinister motives to con money and love! Da Fei dispassionately clicked agree. Bu Feiyan smiled, ¡°Where were we just now? Oh right, your ship is world-famous, I would love to have a chance to go on board.¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened! The demon was probing my secrets! Da Fei sighed, ¡°Ah¡­ better not mention the ship.¡± Bu Feiyan was surprised, ¡°What happened to the ship?¡± Da Fei pretended to sigh, ¡°If I don¡¯t have the ship anymore, would you still consider me a com¡­ comrade?¡± Heh, once there was a wealthy, handsome man pretending to be a loser, pursuing the goddess: ¡°If I didn¡¯t have money, would you love me?¡± The goddess flatly refused, ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not in love with money, it¡¯s your personality that really puts me off, we¡¯re not right for each other!¡± Then, the wealthy, handsome man would come out in a helicopter slapping faces! My personality is indeed off-putting, come fly and slap me! What a pleasing scenario! Bu Feiyan solemnly nodded, ¡°I absolutely would.¡± Damn! But I have no interest in playing scenarios with unknown personalities. For a moment, Da Fei was silent, focusing on fighting monsters. Bu Feiyan understood and comforted, ¡°Actually, it doesn¡¯t matter. At your level, the ship has become unimportant. If you¡¯re interested, I could recommend you join our Star Guild!¡± Excellent, good eye, but I¡¯m not interested! Da Fei casually said, ¡°I¡¯ll consider it.¡± Then he said no more. At this moment, the Star Command Center was bursting with laughter. ¡°Wow, wow, the big beauty personally recruiting and still failed!¡± ¡°Is his notorious reputation good for recruitment?¡± ¡°Haha, is the ship more important than a beauty?¡± ¡°Burned by fire, hit by storms, even a god couldn¡¯t withstand that!¡± ¡°See him still so proud! Deserving!¡± Bu Feiyan angrily retorted, ¡°What¡¯s so funny, his sunken ship is a huge loss for the China Region, okay!¡± Everyone laughed heartily, ¡°Yeah right, soldiers, equipment, and missions belong to the guild, so who cares, but the ship isn¡¯t; it¡¯s a big loss!¡± ¡°Shut your bird mouths!¡± ¡­ Da Fei, immersed in ¡°grief,¡± did not speak anymore. Bu Feiyan felt she might have brought up a sore subject with the ship and sensibly didn¡¯t speak again, after all, they weren¡¯t particularly familiar. The ancient tree, after a few futile attacks, was beyond saving. This mission¡¯s difficulty lay solely in finding it, after all, it was just a tree. ¡°Why give up on treatment!¡± With a reluctant wail, the ancient tree collapsed with a thud, its huge trunk kicking up a cloud of dust. And with the disappearance of its twisted will, the illusion of the Ancient Tree Space vanished, turning into a desolate grassland. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª System Prompt: You have obtained the mission ¡°Purify Nasir Wisdom Ancient Tree Space!¡± Please return to claim your reward! A Teleportation Gate appeared on the grassland. Bu Feiyan chuckled, ¡°Thank you! It¡¯s great knowing you, let¡¯s stay in touch.¡± Da Fei said woodenly, ¡°Yes, next time.¡± This first intimate encounter with the goddess ended just like that, under the threat of ominous suspicions of the demon¡¯s shadow.

Chapter 187 - Chapter 187 Chapter 178 The City-Building Task Begins Chapter 187: Chapter 178 The City-Building Task Begins Chapter 187: Chapter 178 The City-Building Task Begins Da Fei watched in a daze as Bu Feiyan¡¯s troops disappeared into the Teleportation Gate, feeling a mix of emotions. Then, looking at the fallen giant tree, he couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and sigh silently. To be honest, if he were playing a single-player game, Da Fei would usually choose the highest difficulty to get through to the extent possible, because a higher difficulty means higher rewards. That¡¯s a hallmark of a skilled player, right? Yet, this tree died unjustly. However, seeing such a massive piece of timber, Da Fei felt irresistibly tempted. The Wisdom Ancient Tree! This timber must be extraordinary, right? At the very least, it¡¯s special ship material, isn¡¯t it? Can it be salvaged? With that thought, Da Fei immediately passed through the Space Gate and returned to Lake Island. All the officers applauded enthusiastically, saying, ¡°As expected of a Super Hero, you solved the problem in one move! You can directly go to the Military Department to collect your reward when you leave.¡± ¡°Now that the final threat to the World Tree has been eliminated, it can finally rest. From now on, the barrier of the World Tree will gradually disappear. The disappearance of the barrier will bring many security and defense issues afterward. In short, our future tasks are not light.¡± ¡°Yes, so we must quickly build the fortress to prevent new challenges!¡± Da Fei nodded and asked, ¡°Since the higher-ups require us to collect resources as close as possible and build the city quickly, I think the timber from that Wisdom Ancient Tree would be great. Is there any way to get it out?¡± The officers were taken aback and then sighed, ¡°Your idea is certainly excellent, but with the World Tree just entering hibernation, it¡¯s already a hard task just to send people underground from the Main City, not to mention transporting such massive materials from Nasir Space without any support.¡± Damn, the Elf Clan¡¯s teleportation technology is indeed weak! The Hell Race easily sent thousands of players into that space! Da Fei asked urgently, ¡°Is such a piece of timber to be wasted just like that? Isn¡¯t there any way at all?¡± The officers sighed, ¡°As long as we have strong base support, anything is possible. Therefore, our urgent priority now is to build the base.¡± Da Fei shook his head in silent sighs. He just hoped that the tree would not be refreshed away like ordinary monster corpses by the system. Da Fei said, ¡°So, is there anything else I need to do now?¡± The officers happily said, ¡°We¡¯ve been waiting for this from you. We¡¯ve already surveyed the terrain, and we have engineering plans. It¡¯s just that materials are extremely scarce. Please have your big ship patrol the shoreline of the Pool of Radiance and tow back all the available ships and materials! Rest assured, with the recent storm baptism, the Demon Camp along the shore has been destroyed, and there shouldn¡¯t be any major danger for now.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have received the task of building a city, ¡°Construction of the Lake Fortress¡±! ¨CNewcomer Hint: There are two modes for city-building tasks. One is being hired by Great Kingdom forces for territory development. Upon completion, the kingdom appoints you as a lord who must pay taxes or resources equivalent to the tax value to the kingdom and will be protected by the kingdom¡¯s troops. The other mode is players developing unknown world territories to become independent forces without paying taxes to any kingdom but not receiving any protection. The prerequisite is to have a Sealing Order. For details, players should refer to the game rules. Finally, a city-building task! Da Fei¡¯s heart settled. Just as he thought, he couldn¡¯t escape city-building with this task. Building a city is undoubtedly the core gameplay of this game. Having a city means players have their own population, barracks, factories, and a real home! Of the two city-building modes, the most stable is to help the Great Kingdom develop. Although the taxes are heavy, at least 50%, it is better because there¡¯s protection from the kingdom¡¯s troops, allowing players to focus primarily on production. In reality, such large-scale projects to help the kingdom build a city aren¡¯t available to just any player. At the very least, a player must be like Da Fei, a Super Hero deeply respected by NPCs. If players cannot bear such heavy taxes, then they should go to the New World. However, the threats there aren¡¯t just from national players, as powerful monsters are the nightmare of lord players. During the public beta, most lord players eventually returned to the path of pledging allegiance and tributing to their kingdoms. Unfortunately, the power of New World kingdoms is often limited, unable to ensure the safety of players¡¯ territories. However, taxes are non-negotiable. In summary, it¡¯s far less comfortable than roaming in the Old World. In Da Fei¡¯s current situation, it¡¯s difficult to say how much protection he can get from the kingdom. But no matter what, he certainly wouldn¡¯t miss this opportunity. Da Fei immediately thought of the dozens of Abyss Lords stationed under the Flower Demon camp before the storm and the dozen giant paddle ships tied up there. He wondered if they had been cleaned up. He decided to check them out while on route. Now, thousands of Flower Demons circled around Da Fei¡¯s Flying as it set sail once again. A level 0 troop is the most important production unit for any force. During peacetime, they can perform various non-specialized tasks. So, picking up scraps and building a city this time relies entirely on them. Although Flower Demons cannot build cities themselves, heroes or NPCs with Construction Skills can still direct them. Construction Skills involve the skills of Lord System heroes. The higher the Construction Skill level, the better the commanding speed and effect. It was said that God-level Architects could direct Great Angels in construction¨Cyes, that was in the game¡¯s promotional trailer CG advertisement. But building houses doesn¡¯t need Da Fei to worry. The dozen officers likely all have Construction Skills. Da Fei just needed to gather level 0 Flower Demon troops. In reality, during siege wars between players, the first target is the opponent¡¯s level 0 troops. Even if the siege isn¡¯t successful, it can disrupt the opponent¡¯s development. So don¡¯t think that the Elf Clan¡¯s heaven-defying flower demon and tree spirit golden combo guarantees safety without worries. The opponent¡¯s blade will slowly attack, targeting the Flower Demons, fatties malnourished and then dead. The Flying reached the camp of the stationed Abyss Lords, and Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but let out a long sigh. For Brother, a smooth sailing life seemed unscientific. True to form, all the Abyss Lords and Demon ship workers were gone. What was all that fighting for back then? In the end, wasn¡¯t the Hell Race rewarded with many Abyss Lords? Ultimately, it was all for nothing. Perhaps all these things were arranged by the system from the start, and it never intended to let players have that many level six troops? Fortunately, four ships were still wedged in the tree roots¡¯ cracks, so it wasn¡¯t without any gain. However, this place is at the edge of the Pool of Radiance; if level six troops didn¡¯t make it, I¡¯m sure the Demon Camp didn¡¯t have many soldiers left. . . . 3 a.m. Deng Jiayi took off the facial mask on her face. After finishing the last form at the computer, she stretched with a long yawn. After a day of laboring, she could finally rest. This time she planned to give herself a few days off. To be honest, Deng Jiayi had long been unable to hold on, but the appearance of Da Fei did rejuvenate her and lifted her spirits. Truthfully, she didn¡¯t have any other intentions, purely driven by curiosity. This was the legendary ¡°shame of the national service, trash Da Fei.¡± However, judging by their conversation tonight, there¡¯s actually no difference in personality from regular players. The only difference is his unfathomable strength. This is a newcomer standing on a white halo without class change! Yet, this newcomer was the Super Hero that the Elf Kingdom had high hopes for and who successfully completed the mission of attacking the Abyss Blood Pool for the Elf Kingdom and returned triumphantly. It¡¯s unimaginable how much stronger he¡¯ll become after submitting the task. For now, let¡¯s put the future aside. The strength he displayed in tonight¡¯s battle alone was already shocking to Deng Jiayi. Though she superficially chatted and laughed with Da Fei, as a professional player, she constantly deduced his attributes and skills by analyzing his Druid¡¯s damage. In short, no matter how you calculate it, something¡¯s off! In one word, unfathomable! Not to mention these rapid entries into Ancient Tree Space, it¡¯ll definitely take Master-level Reconnaissance Skill! Such an account¡¯s strength has already far exceeded all Star professional players, deserving special attention. It was worth spending an extra hour listing and archiving his analysis data. Now, finally, she could sleep. . . . The ruins of the Demon Camp in the Pool of Radiance. A once-mighty Magic Tower lay collapsed on the ground, and what was once a lava-heating Lava Lake had cooled to a glassy surface. Hundreds of giant paddle ships and leaf craft lay scattered on the shore. Sure enough, Da Fei¡¯s radar mini-map didn¡¯t show a single red dot. It was, indeed, time to scavenge. The Flower Demons immediately got to work. Their small bodies in great numbers, functioning as precisely as bees in teamwork, unleashed an astounding efficiency akin to ants moving houses. In no time, the few giant paddle ships Da Fei had towed were filled with scattered stone materials. Meanwhile, Flower Demons tried to push the storm-blown giant paddle ships back into the lake. Seeing the busy orderliness ahead, exhausted from a day¡¯s battle akin to a lifetime¡¯s change in a movie, Da Fei could no longer hold on. Da Fei found Catherine, ¡°I need to rest now. Can you handle the task?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only He wanted to know whether the several insect nests destroyed after sleeping yesterday were the old lady¡¯s capability or Catherine¡¯s. If it was Catherine¡¯s ability, it was practically an in-built cheat, too exhilarating! Catherine laughed softly, ¡°As the First Officer, of course, I should assist the Captain. Rest easy, Captain.¡± Wow, hahahaha! It can be done! If an NPC says it¡¯s fine, then it¡¯s fine! For a moment, Da Fei was almost moved to sleepless excitement! In any case, sleep! Da Fei logged off to sleep, but news of his big ship quickly spread through Star Headquarters member chats and swept the internet overnight. The sight of Da Fei¡¯s burning warship was witnessed by national war personnel from various countries. The added storm only increased the credibility of the information. In no time, countries celebrated heartily, enjoying the New Year festival. (To be continued.

Chapter 188 - Chapter 188 Chapter 179 Deirdre Assumes the Position of Chapter 188: Chapter 179 Deirdre Assumes the Position of Artillery Commander Chapter 188: Chapter 179 Deirdre Assumes the Position of Artillery Commander Da Fei slept until noon the next day. About 4 or 5 days must have passed in the game, right? Hurry up! He quickly made instant noodles, brushed his teeth while squatting in the toilet, and then came out to eat cold buns with pickles and noodles before logging into the game. As soon as he entered the game, he saw the Flying slowly moving towards Lake Island, dragging a dozen giant paddle ships loaded with stone and other materials. It worked! Katelina really made it! Haha, wow hahaha! In the midst of his ecstatic joy, a flurry of system prompts appeared. ¡ª-System Prompt: The barrier of the Pool of Radiance has disappeared, you and your vice heroes can level up! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to 31! You have gained 1 free attribute point, 1 point added to attack from your Basic-level Ranger profession, 1 Skill Point, and your life has increased by +2, Command Power by +1. ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! Your vice hero Katelina levels up to 31! ¡­ ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! Your vice hero Serbia levels up to 31! ¡­ ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! Your trial vice hero Deirdre levels up to 14¡­ ¡­¡­ ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! Your trial vice hero Deirdre levels up to 20! You have gained 1 free attribute point, attack increased by +1, 1 Skill Point, life increased by +2, Command Power by +1, and Personal Damage by +1. ¡­¡­ Da Fei was momentarily stunned. He thought he was awesome for smashing out dozens of 100,000 experience point insect nests at the Pool of Radiance and then causing a tremendous explosion at the Abyss Blood Pool with millions of experience points stored, but after sharing the experience with three vice heroes, he only went up one level! He even thought he would instantly leap to the world¡¯s top level with a flash of gold! In the end, that¡¯s the disadvantage of having multiple vice heroes. When a player hires vice heroes, if the level up does not achieve an effect of 1+1 being greater than or equal to 2, then the value of hiring these vice heroes becomes questionable. That¡¯s why players rarely hire vice heroes at this stage, just to avoid holding back their leveling up. Exceptionally strong heroes or beautiful women are exceptions. Better fewer, but better; that¡¯s why players from all countries rarely bring vice heroes in this national war. Of course, the main reason is that Deirdre, who is at a lower level, gobbles up more experience, leveling up multiple times herself. At this rate, to safely get Deirdre to level 50 and become an official hero is going to take ages. There¡¯s still a long road ahead. Overall, now the battle is over, and he is awake from his sleep, it¡¯s time to plan for the future properly. First of all, of course, is to arrange a job for Deirdre, no questions asked, she must be the Artillery Commander. ¡ª-Artillery Commander: The Artillery Commander can at least increase the artillery morale in the Gun Cabin by +1, life by +10%, and stamina by +10%. The Artillery Commander must be appointed a hero with Basic War Machine Science. Among the several naval deputy roles, the Artillery Commander might be the most boring and least prominent. Mainly because the Crossbow Cannon, being an inanimate machine, is not affected by equipment or other skill enhancements. So, the role of Artillery Commander is hard to make a mark on the Crossbow Cannon. Anyway, it probably just involves staying in the cabin all day, playing cards, drinking, and fishing with artillery buddies. But the advantage of this role is safety¨Cnestled in a heavily armored protective gun cabin, without the need for close combat, survival chances are the highest. But maybe Deirdre, being a specialized Artillery Master, might make a difference? Anyway, she¡¯s back, and Da Fei can finally get a glimpse into this hidden profession of Artillery Master, which he hasn¡¯t had time to look into due to the continuous events of yesterday. At this moment, Deirdre¡¯s attributes are as follows: ¡ª-Deirdre: A mysterious Banshee following the Hero¡¯s Road. Level: 20. Profession: Master-level Gunner, increases Crossbow Cannon damage by 100%, each level up adds 1 point to attack, and 1 free attribute point. Hero Special Ability: Banshee Leader. For every 2 levels the hero is elevated, adds 1 point to both attack and defense of the Banshee army. Also, the hero has the ability to train Banshees. Professional Skills: Iron Maiden, Ballistics, Rapid Fire Skill, Smoke Bombs, Incendiary Bombs, Poison Gas Bombs. ¡ª-Iron Maiden: The hero¡¯s Crossbow Cannon gains an explosive effect, causing a total magic damage of 5 + 5 x Magic Power to the nearby area around the impact point. ¡ª-Ballistics: Master-level Gunner increases the range of the Crossbow Cannon by 25%. ¡ª-Rapid Fire Skill: Gunner can increase the Attack Speed of Crossbow Cannon by 50%, and under this skill, the Durability of Crossbow Cannon will continuously decrease. ¡ª-Smoke Bombs: Gunner can produce and release Smoke Bombs, confusing the enemy¡¯s vision. ¡ª-Incendiary Bomb: Gunner can produce and release Incendiary Bombs, creating chaos among the enemies. ¡ª-Poison Gas Bomb: Gunner can produce and release Poison Gas Bombs, creating chaos among the enemies. Hero Skills: Master War Machine Science (Crossbow Master), Advanced Dark Magic. Command Power: 100 Attack: 40 (Base 17, Treasure +3, Upgrade Points +20) Defense: 42 (Base 13, Treasure +29) Magic Power: 10 Knowledge: 10 Damage: 21-35 Health: 413 (Treasure +102, Upgrade +40) Magic Resistance: 50% Fire Resistance: 75% Attack Speed: 11 Hero Skills: Flying Creature, Charm Master, Chain Shooting, Transformation Skill, Banshee Training Master Hero¡¯s Treasures (Note, these treasures are personal items of the hero; misuse by players may reduce hero¡¯s loyalty): ¨C Dwarf King¡¯s Armor: B-grade strategic treasure, Defense +10, Troop magic resistance probability +15% ¨C Dwarf King¡¯s Helmet: B-grade strategic treasure, Defense +5, Troop immunity to blinding magic. ¨C Dwarf King Rune Shield: B-grade strategic treasure, Defense +8, Troop magic resistance probability +20% ¨C Dwarf King¡¯s Iron Fist: B-grade strategic treasure, Attack +3, Defense +3, Troop attack speed increased by 5%. ¨C Dwarf King¡¯s Leggings: B-grade strategic treasure, Defense +3, Troop immune to Delay Magic. Dwarf King Set additional reward: Troop health +2, Hero health +100. ¡­¡­. Da Fei took a deep breath! A tier-4 unit specialization that is valued at a million US dollars in the market, inherits the Divine Skill ¡°Iron Maiden¡± from the Epic Hero Delib, this is the Banshee Hero that several major countries are crazy about! And this Banshee Hero, having kidnapped all of the B-grade treasures from India, finally returned to my embrace, haha! Muahaha! I¡¯m taking on nations single-handed! But! Must not get too carried away, first off, she lacks personality and loyalty attributes! And she automatically allocates her own Skill Points and attribute points, which means until the completion of the Hero¡¯s Road, she still remains an incomplete hero, and even her allegiance is still undecided? Ultimately, to prevent betrayal, is to not give her the chance to betray. I won¡¯t be taking any nonsensical tasks anymore. As for her treasures being personal items, I certainly can¡¯t touch them. Indeed, some special heroes join the player¡¯s team with treasures, and these treasures cannot be touched or they¡¯d turn hostile. At this moment, Deirdre came to Da Fei with a big grin on her face: ¡°Thank you, master, for appointing me to such an important position, I will definitely work hard and show off what I¡¯ve learned!¡± Show off what she learned? Da Fei vaguely feels expectant, grinning and said: ¡°Being an Artillery Commander is not easy, can you introduce me to the skills of an Artillery Master?¡± Deirdre smiled and said: ¡°Of course, normal War Machine Science is just one person operating machines, but an Artillery Master can command all the gunners in the army to operate machines together, it¡¯s entirely not just tactics!¡± Indeed! Da Fei excited: ¡°So you mean, the skills of ballistic science, rapid firing, and smoke bombs affect all the Crossbow Cannoneers?¡± Deirdre smiled: ¡°Exactly! The more cannons the master has, the more effective I can be! Especially when the master owns a giant paddle ship with a gun cabin, or a city wall filled with gun towers! As for the smoke bombs and incendiary bombs, the master needs to fund the materials, which I can craft.¡± So that¡¯s it! This is what it means to be an Artillery Master! Truly a cut above, a profession that can become a hero profession! Definitely not on the same level! Following this logic, if my Sailing Skill gets fully developed, it must also be far superior to regular sailing skills! And yes, just with my Storm Navigation alone, I could blow many sailing skills out of the water! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei burst into joyful laughter: ¡°Great! Absolutely fantastic! You¡¯re truly a hero tailored for my large ships!¡± Deirdre also smiled: ¡°Of course, only by following a heroic and martial master like you can I fully utilize my talents!¡± So, that¡¯s it! That¡¯s why I stole this beauty from the hands of so many countries! Deirdre, as a Trial Hero, not only has personal safety concerns but also career aspirations, and looking at the world, only I can satisfy her! Haha, Muahaha! Now, Flying has arrived at Lake Island, from a distance, Lake Island has already developed into a fortress, so fast! Has so much changed while I slept? Muahaha! Right, I should commend Katelina, without her how could I sleep so peacefully! (Sorry everyone, I was too tired yesterday and ended up falling asleep on my chair. Now that I¡¯m mostly done with the busy work, I will try to catch up on updates.) (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for it on wuxiaworld.site and support me. Mobile users please read on m.wuxiaworld.site.) Chapter 189 - Chapter 189 Chapter 180 Running a Business to Build the City Chapter 189: Chapter 180: Running a Business to Build the City! Chapter 189: Chapter 180: Running a Business to Build the City! Da Fei arrived at the steering floor to recognize Katelina¡¯s achievements. Katelina laughed and said, ¡°I should really thank the Captain for giving me such an opportunity to command on my own. I¡¯ve always wanted to command a ship by myself, but my dad just wouldn¡¯t trust me enough to let me do it.¡± Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Father¡¯s love runs deep!¡± If it were in reality, with the relationship Da Fei had with Katelina, he¡¯d probably be calling that burly, scar-faced man ¡®dad¡¯ right about now, wouldn¡¯t he? Katelina smiled and said, ¡°This should be the last trip. The Demon Army has begun moving in on the lakeshore again, but they don¡¯t have any ships or facilities yet, so they shouldn¡¯t be a threat for the time being.¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°Just as expected.¡± It seems the time left for brother to develop peacefully through this city-building task won¡¯t be much. Now that we¡¯ve exhausted local resources, what¡¯s the next step? The Flying drew closer to Lake Island, where building materials were piled high. A simple stone pier made of stacked stone had been completed. Hundreds of level 6 Tree Spirits were slowly and orderly building a fortress under the command of military officers. Damn, who said it was hard to transport troops from above? Isn¡¯t that a batch right there? It¡¯s a pity that those dozens of Abyss Lords went to waste ¨C they would¡¯ve been strong laborers. The arrival of the Flying was met with applause from the officers. Da Fei disembarked and greeted, ¡°Everyone has worked hard!¡± The officers laughed and said, ¡°Congratulations, your Excellency, the Kingdom¡¯s appointment has arrived. The Kingdom is very satisfied with your quick and effective actions and has officially appointed you as the Lord of Radiant City!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have received the appointment of Lord from the Elf Kingdom and officially became the Lord of Radiant City! What was meant to come has finally come! Da Fei laughed out loud, ¡°Please rest assured, your Majesty, I will definitely do my best.¡± The officers smiled and said, ¡°Considering Lord lacks manpower, although we are not particularly special, we would like to serve as advisors for the Lord, assisting in city construction!¡± Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Welcome, welcome, absolutely necessary!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: Kingdom Officer Tarion became the Military Advisor for Radiant City. ¡ª-System Prompt: Kingdom Officer Serenna became the Economic Advisor for Radiant City. ¡ª-System Prompt: Kingdom Officer Farina became the Diplomatic Advisor for Radiant City. ¡ª-System Prompt: Kingdom Officer Rasio became the Population Advisor for Radiant City. ¡­. Crap, these dozen or so guys have taken control of all domains like military, economy, population, sanitation, education, culture, diplomacy, logistics, production! Alright, good, the Kingdom has thought this through, saving the players the trouble. Advisors are essentially staff officers, strategists, sources of wisdom ¨C they don¡¯t hold specific official positions. However, they often provide very valuable advice to the King, and hence they possess power that surpasses that of all officials, notwithstanding their lack of power and responsibilities. To convince a King, one must first persuade his most trusted advisors. In the game, advisors act as tutors for new players, teaching them how to build cities and greatly assisting them in becoming familiar with city facilities, ensuring newbie players do not make low-level mistakes. Of course, the suggestions from novice advisors are very by the book; if a player considers themselves a veteran, they can completely disregard the advisors¡¯ suggestions. For instance, the aggressive military development strategy during public testing, which the advisors strongly oppose, is indeed very effective in the chaotic environment of the New World. Therefore, one may choose not to heed the advisors¡¯ words. Also, in the absence of officials in a player¡¯s city, advisors can act in their stead. Of course, it is perhaps only in a situation like Da Fei¡¯s, where he is appointed by the Kingdom, that the Kingdom would provide such an ample array of advisors for him. If a player goes to the New World on their own, they would not receive such favorable treatment. However, new Lord Players need not worry; after receiving the Sealing Order, players can apply to become an Apprentice Village Chief in a small village within the Kingdom, getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Bright Lord. Da Fei opened up the city overview interface, and the general attributes of Radiant City are as follows: ¡ª-Radiant City: Level 3 City. ¡ª-City Population: 3,539 Flower Demons. ¡ª-City Facilities: Level 3 City Wall. ¡ª-City Construction in Progress: Level 1 Fortress. ¡ª-City Officials: 13 part-time advisors. What a poor city indeed. City Level is a direct reflection of a city¡¯s prosperity. The city advances in level for every new building added or any building that is upgraded. Some special buildings can only be constructed in higher-level cities. Right now, Da Fei has no clue about the next steps for city development, so of course, he should consult the advisors. Da Fei asked, ¡°Ladies and gentlemen advisors, now that the Demon Army has gathered at the edges of the Pool of Radiance again, what should our next steps in development be?¡± The military advisor answered, ¡°Lord, the current strategic direction of the Demons is in the New World, so there won¡¯t likely be any high-scale wars at the Pool of Radiance. Moreover, they don¡¯t have a base or logistics, so they lack the capability to break through the Pool of Radiance¡¯s defenses and launch a war in the short term. The Demons¡¯ main goal is still to monitor and restrain our forces. However, if our defense is too weak, we cannot rule out the possibility of them hastily assembling a large-scale attack. Therefore, our military must rapidly build up the city and closely monitor the Demons¡¯ movements.¡± Da Fei nodded in understanding: ¡°I see.¡± As long as there¡¯s no immediate war, bro can relax. The internal affairs advisor said, ¡°Lord, with the resources we¡¯ve collected now, we can only repair the city walls and construct the fortress. The next step is to build a Military Teleportation Array. Only with this can the Kingdom dispatch a substantial force to garrison here. Both the construction and operation of a teleportation array require a significant amount of funds, so Lord, you must find a way to raise money.¡± The economic advisor added, ¡°Lord, currently the Kingdom¡¯s budget is mainly allocated for the New World, so at best we can only apply for a Level 1 Military Teleportation Array. If you want to further upgrade the Teleportation Array, Lord, you¡¯ll have to raise the money yourself. However, Lord, there¡¯s no need to worry. The Pool of Radiance contains the purest Life Energy, which is greatly favored by the Great Angels. Once the Pool of Purifying Light is complete, even selling purified water could be a substantial source of income. As long as we withstand the initial difficulties, we can definitely reap rewards later!¡± The population advisor said, ¡°Lord, currently with the World Tree dormant, our city has no hope for natural population growth. Hence, building barracks lacks civilian support; we can only rely on external help. Constructing the Teleportation Array is extremely urgent!¡± Damn, can¡¯t you guys speak slower? After listening back and forth, it seems like the system just wants players to fork out their own money! And they¡¯re even teasing bro with the prospect of making money from selling purified water! Fretting, Da Fei asked, ¡°So you¡¯re saying, the next step for me is to make money?¡± All advisors spoke in unison, ¡°Yes, Lord, you only need to do one thing, and that¡¯s to make money! The more, the better, the faster, the better! And besides, there¡¯s nothing for you here, remember to come back and check in!¡± ¡ª-Ah! Damn, really cheeky! But, building up a city indeed is a matter worth the hustle no matter what. The advisors continued, ¡°Lord, when you leave, you can go directly to World Tree Square to see the Kingdom Chief of Staff, Mapharion. He will personally issue your reward for attacking the Abyss Blood Pool!¡± Yeah, it is time to claim the reward for the Epic Quest. Bro has been patiently waiting the whole night and is calm enough now. But expecting to get money from him is definitely impossible. It seems I have no choice but to engage in trade myself. The big ship can¡¯t sail out now, so the only option is to settle for a regular boat for the time being. With my current reputation, it shouldn¡¯t be a problem to buy a medium-sized ordinary ship. Or maybe I can leverage my relationship with Chief of Staff or Mayor Elorin to bend the rules a bit and get a big ship? Surely he can manage that much? Speaking of trade, we must mention the Divine Skill of trade ¡°Navigation Skill.¡± Katelina has been stuck at level 30 for so long and finally got a Skill Point upon leveling up, and now it¡¯s time to learn the most bad-ass and crucial skill! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei took out the Sailing Skill Book and flipped to the page of Master-level Navigation Skill, and with a flash of golden light! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Catlin has spent a Skill Point to learn the Master-level Navigation Skill sub-skill ¡°Navigation¡±! ¡ª-Navigation: The speed of the flagship can determine the overall speed of the fleet. Captains or First Officers of the subordinate ships must possess Master Level Navigation and Towing Skills to be able to follow the flagship¡¯s lead. Da Fei breathes a huge sigh of relief, having acquired the Navigation Skill, which really means entering the high-end realm of trading. Although bro doesn¡¯t have a fleet now, I could take a cut by roping in other players¡¯ ships, right? That¡¯s how it was done in the public test phase. Damn, bro just remembered, I still owe a whopping hundred million! Damn it, this is like running trade till I drop dead!(To be continued.

Chapter 190 - Chapter 190 Chapter 181 The Epic Quest Reward for Being Short Chapter 190: Chapter 181: The Epic Quest Reward for Being Short on Money Chapter 190: Chapter 181: The Epic Quest Reward for Being Short on Money Under the guidance of the advisors, Da Fei, along with Catherine and Selvia, arrived at a clearing in the center of the island, where Mrs. Anwen had ascended. It was also to be the site for the construction of the Military Teleportation Array. The so-called Military Teleportation Array was one that could transport troops. As mentioned before, the Hell Race is the only race capable of Legion Transmission through their ordinary city teleportation arrays. Although other races lag behind Demons in spatial technology, with enough investment, they can achieve the same ¡ª of course, unless it¡¯s for a special mission, it¡¯s usually not open to players. This was also a reminder to Da Fei that this thing burns through money! The reason Da Fei left Deirdre behind was mainly because he wanted to keep a low profile, figuring there was no way to level her up by trade runs, and her artillery unit couldn¡¯t be taken out. One more person wouldn¡¯t make a difference, so he let her stay behind to keep watch. A green light descended from the sky and the scene changed to reveal a huge square shaded with golden trees. ¡ª System Prompt: You have discovered Farolan City¡¯s World Tree Square. Da Fei looked up, gazing at the gilded misty skies above where the World Tree¡¯s canopy was. Looking around, there were tall trees akin to high-rise buildings everywhere, each with numerous wooden houses hanging from them. Ladders connecting the trees formed a dense web of aerial pathways. Magnificent Jade Dragons and petite Flower Demons flew through the city¡¯s skies. In the distance, the roar of mountain waterfalls made for wide rivers cutting through the urban forest, and they formed a large lake. Lush flowers bloomed along the lakeshore while vessels from various countries shuttled through the river, and the wharf bustled with activity. This was the capital of the Elf Kingdom, Farolan City, a city with three-dimensional transportation by land, water, and air. But before he could fully appreciate this legendary fairytale city, Da Fei¡¯s striking red name suddenly caused a stir among nearby players: ¡°A red name entered the city!¡± ¡°My God, it¡¯s the legendary Da Fei!¡± At that moment, a group of city management officers whizzed over and surrounded Da Fei: ¡°Our investigation confirms you have a criminal record. Accept our judgment!¡± Da Fei protested in a hurry: ¡°Hey, wait! Damn, I¡¯m busy here! I¡¯m a hero of the Bright Alliance, okay?¡± A flash of white light subsequently switched the scene to a courtroom! Damn it! There¡¯s no justice! As a hero who completes missions for the Bright Alliance, isn¡¯t killing a few people a trivial matter? The judge, known as the Judge, struck the gavel with force that shocked the audience: ¡°Are you aware of your crimes!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: As a red name, you have the following judgments to choose from, and you may accept the following punishments: ¡­ Damn it, don¡¯t give me such a headache when I¡¯m busy! No choice, I¡¯m in the middle of something, just pay the fine. ¡ª System Prompt: Your fine amount is insufficient. Would you like to pay the remaining balance with treasure? Argh! Da Fei almost couldn¡¯t help but snort out in disbelief! It¡¯s just that he killed 60 people! He¡¯s a hero! You can¡¯t treat him like this! Da Fei let out a long sigh, acknowledging that the system rules supreme, and that there¡¯s no reasoning with NPCs, especially those in charge of player management. So-called treasure payment was nothing more than telescopes. Despite having killed 60 people in yesterday¡¯s national war and a dozen foreigners, which yielded a dozen telescopes, he wasn¡¯t lacking in treasures, particularly not telescopes. ¡ª System Prompt: You paid the fine equivalent to 26,000 Gold Coins and have been bailed! Your status changed to yellow name. The judge said with satisfaction: ¡°Please cherish this hard-earned bail opportunity¡­¡± The scene changed, and Da Fei, now with a stony expression, returned to the square, completely broke. Life really has its ups and downs. Just moments ago, he was preparing to hit the trading big time, and now the initial capital was fined away, not even enough to cover it! No matter, he still had the reward from the Epic Quest; he wouldn¡¯t be left destitute. At that moment, a group of players on the square were whispering among themselves. ¡°He¡¯s out, he¡¯s out! Turned yellow name too!¡± ¡°How much of a fine does one have to pay for killing a few dozen level 30 people?¡± ¡°Hey, I heard his ship is gone too.¡± Crap! Who said my ship is gone? Was it said by that hermaphrodite Goddess? Damn it, I never indulge in the pleasure of my friends¡¯ pain! I¡¯ll infuriate you all with my splendid spirit! Da Fei¡¯s spirits uplifted, he marched with his head held high, escorting two beautiful Vice Heroines straight to the NPC guards beneath the World Tree: ¡°I want to see the Chief of Staff!¡± The guard replied joyfully and respectfully: ¡°Welcome back, hero of the Alliance, please come in!¡± Da Fei silently sighed in his heart, NPCs really are different. The scene changed, and Da Fei found himself in a noisy hall. A voice cried out loudly: ¡°Welcome back, our triumphant hero!¡± The hall erupted in thunderous applause. A portly Great Druid approached with a smile: ¡°Warrior! Thank you for your hard work, on behalf of the Elf Kingdom, I express our gratitude!¡± Da Fei laughed: ¡°It was my duty, my duty!¡± The Great Elder smiled and said: ¡°This is your reward, warrior!¡± A golden flash, and the heavenly sound Da Fei was eagerly anticipating rang out! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have completed the Epic Quest ¡°Attack Abyss Blood Pool,¡± rewarded 5 million Experience, 10 Skill Points, and your reputation in the Elf Kingdom has become respected! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have completed the quest ¡°Purify Nasir Ancient Tree Space,¡± rewarded 1 million Experience, 1 Skill Point, and gained 1 Knowledge. The Great Elder led the applause once again, and the hall¡¯s clapping went on for quite a while. Da Fei was stunned for a moment. That¡¯s it? This is the reward for an Epic Quest? Just 10 Skill Points and that¡¯s all? Although 10 Skill Points is equivalent to a player leveling up 10 times, which could develop two Master-level skills and is not a scanty amount, this was definitely not the outcome Da Fei had anticipated. At the very least, where¡¯s the Gold Coins? An epic quest without a monetary reward? Are you joking? It¡¯s an Epic Quest! A task that could rewrite history! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°My lord, this is my reward? What about the money? There¡¯s no monetary reward?¡± The Great Elder smiled with squinted eyes, ¡°Warrior, the money has already been rewarded to you in advance! Think about it, the repairs and refurbishments of your ship, the many Crossbow Cannons as well as spare parts on your ship, the numerous cost-free Forest Goddesses, the position of a Lord given to you, the Level 1 Teleportation Array applied for by the advisors, and the army of Tree Spirits sent by the collective spellcasting of the Kingdom Mages ¨C all of these are funded by the Kingdom¡¯s budget, and it has all been spent on you! This reward is worth more than a million Gold Coins, it¡¯s an astronomical figure!¡± Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! What? There¡¯s such reasoning? Something felt off. The Great Elder continued with a laugh: ¡°Moreover, this is an exception that the Kingdom made just for you, warrior. Normally, without completing the quest, a warrior wouldn¡¯t be able to receive any reward.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Damn! That¡¯s where it was wrong! Da Fei quickly said, ¡°This is clearly an investment that the Kingdom needs to make for the war. How can it be mixed with my reward?¡± The Elder¡¯s expression darkened slightly: ¡°According to the orders of the Alliance Army, the armed forces do not belong to an individual officer. After the war, the Kingdom has to reclaim the armies and resources, but we did not take back the troops allocated to the warrior, isn¡¯t that a reward?¡± Da Fei was speechless. It sounded reasonable, didn¡¯t it? If they were really reclaimed and converted to money, I wouldn¡¯t agree! It seems the economic advisor was right, the Kingdom is short on funds, so they could only use their inventory to pay the rewards? Or is it you who misappropriated and embezzled the cash? Fine, since you have so much in stock, do you have any big ships left? Dare you toss one to me, and I¡¯ll convert it back to Gold Coins for you? (To be continued.

Chapter 191 - Chapter 191 Chapter 182 Brother Finally Made a Fortune Chapter 191: Chapter 182: Brother Finally Made a Fortune! Chapter 191: Chapter 182: Brother Finally Made a Fortune! Da Fei approached the Great Elder and Chief of Staff to request a reservation for a large ship. The Great Elder shook his head on the spot: ¡°Warrior! This won¡¯t do. First, this matter is not under my control; second, it¡¯s against principles. We must adhere to principles.¡± Da Fei urgently asked: ¡°What are the principles?¡± The Great Elder laughed: ¡°Of course it¡¯s to follow the rules. You can buy the corresponding ship when your prestige is enough. Who gets a ship without paying first?¡± Damn! And here I was, getting rewards before completing the task! Turns out their principle is that there are no principles! In the end, it¡¯s just like a company giving more benefits to outstanding employees. On the surface, they reward with cars and better offices to improve employee welfare, but ultimately, it¡¯s to serve the company better, not to unduly benefit individuals. It seems there¡¯s no way through with the ship, but no worries, I still have Mayor Elorin and Duke Markar¡¯s connections. Now, it¡¯s time to talk business! Da Fei earnestly said: ¡°Great Elder, before I departed, Mayor Elorin promised that if I complete this arduous mission, I would be nominated for the Gru Hero inheritance.¡± The Great Elder hummed, then patted Da Fei¡¯s shoulder with a meaningful tone: ¡°As the Chief of Staff, I¡¯m only responsible for commanding battles. The grand matter of hero inheritance is not under my control either. But one thing for sure, warrior, you haven¡¯t completed the task yet, have you? The Pool of Radiance still isn¡¯t purified, right?¡± Damn! I almost snorted out a booger! Wasn¡¯t it supposed to be a reward for the Abyss Blood Pool? Why also include the Pool of Radiance? The World Tree is dormant, how many years will it take to purify the Pool of Radiance! Is this suggesting I keep being the newbie for months? The Great Elder smiled gleefully: ¡°So, warrior, put all your efforts into purifying the Pool of Radiance. When the time comes, I will also nominate you, submitting a request for the Gru Hero inheritance to the Kingdom! You are the finest hero in our Alliance; this inheritance is rightfully yours. Moreover, once completed, our staff department will exceptionally promote you to a lieutenant in the Elf Kingdom, that¡¯s a bright future indeed!¡± Da Fei was stunned: ¡°Rightfully mine? Could there be someone else competing?¡± The Great Elder smiled: ¡°Who wouldn¡¯t want to become the strongest hero? To accelerate our steps toward conquering the New World, the Kingdom will select an inheritor from the ten most outstanding youth. But so far, warrior, you are far ahead, so I have high hopes for you!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have received information about the Gru Hero inheritance. Damn it! So this is just a way to motivate others to work desperately for the Kingdom! Turns out I¡¯m not playing a single-player game! Da Fei felt deceived; the so-called hero inheritance is just a bunch of bananas hanging over the elephant¡¯s head, always in sight but never easy to reach! Since there are competitors, can I, a human, smoothly receive the inheritance from the Elf Kingdom? Won¡¯t there be manipulations against me? Cut it, I have a big shot, Markar, on the human side. And since the inheritance is divided into three parts, let me secure the human side¡¯s inheritance first. But is this inheritance really that awesome? I feel like with my current dual deputy roles, I am already incredibly powerful! The Great Elder said smilingly: ¡°In any case, if there¡¯s anything unclear, you can always come here. Our doors will always be open for you, warrior!¡± Damn, it¡¯s not like it¡¯s the door to the girls¡¯ dormitory. Like I care! The scene changes, and Da Fei is escorted out to the World Tree Square. Now penniless, I don¡¯t even have the fare to go back to see Mayor Elorin or Markar! I have three level 31 heroes, teleporting once costs 930 gold coins! Where do I get the fare? Maybe take a newbie through an instance? While hesitating, Da Fei¡¯s message alert went off. It¡¯s Lei Huolong! Oh yeah, the big spender is here! Maybe I could borrow some spending money? Lei Huolong said: ¡°Brother Fei, you¡¯re online, huh? Got time now? Let¡¯s talk about the inheritance, the sooner we finish the sooner I can report back to my boss.¡± Nonsense! I¡¯m a celebrity, becoming the focal point of the crowd once I appear, and you didn¡¯t notice I was surrounded in the World Tree Square. Fine, it¡¯s also time to make this big deal happen. As a professional player, what kind of professional player am I if I haven¡¯t succeeded in any deals! Da Fei replied: ¡°I¡¯ve got all the free time, like a beggar now, how do we trade?¡± Lei Huolong chuckled: ¡°Does Brother Fei have a Gold Hunting Net account? We can trade through the Gold Hunting Net escrow.¡± Just like that. As a professional player, having an account with Gold Hunting Net escrow is a must. Although Heroic Creation Era is a world-class game, the game itself will never support real money transactions between players. Online transactions still rely on this most ancient method: the buyer sends money to the middleman agency¡¯s account, and then the middleman agency sends a small account to log into the game to receive virtual items. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Now that the mode of transaction is settled, it¡¯s time to discuss the price. Lei Huolong chuckled: ¡°Brother Fei, name your price.¡± Name my price! This isn¡¯t about buying a pack of cigarettes or instant noodles; this is a deal worth millions, a life-changing deal! Although I don¡¯t believe in those million dollar figures touted on the forums, I have my psychological price in mind, but when it comes to naming my price, I still hesitate! This is a long-term poor man¡¯s awe of money! How much? 500? 800? Dare to ask for so much! Or should I go straight with 300? Not okay, he will surely bargain. How about directly 600? As Da Fei hesitates, Lei Huolong, no, Ma Jialong, is also hesitant. What he fears and hates the most is this kind of player, accidentally striking a jackpot but not knowing its use or its value. You ask for a price, he says: ¡°You tell me!¡± You give a price, and he just keeps silent, afraid of being short-changed! Chapter 192 - Chapter 192 Chapter 182 Brother Finally Made a Fortune_2 Chapter 192: Chapter 182: Brother Finally Made a Fortune!_2 Chapter 192: Chapter 182: Brother Finally Made a Fortune!_2 Go on the offensive! As a large guild, we must maintain the dominance of a large guild. Ma Jialong said, ¡°Brother Fei, how about this, let¡¯s offer a price, 1 million!¡± Da Fei was taken aback, ¡°US dollars?¡± ¡°What dollars! You dare to say that! ¡± Ma Jialong cursed inwardly and messaged, ¡°1 million RMB.¡± However, even if it were truly 1 million US dollars, it was still within Ma Jialong¡¯s psychological price range. After all, what¡¯s causing such a hype globally, a level 4 unit trait Griffin Breeder from Star is valued at 1 million US dollars. This artificial inflation is certainly beneficial for garnering attention in the early stages of the game, but the downside is that it makes it difficult for large guilds to acquire accounts. Ma Yinglong believed that the so-called 8 million US dollars for a God-level Hero from the Japan region definitely wasn¡¯t worth 8 million. Damn, that¡¯s too shady! Da Fei was anxious, ¡°That¡¯s too little! Any random big tycoon can throw out that price!¡± ¡°Then Brother Fei, you name a price!¡± Da Fei gritted his teeth, ¡°6 million!¡± Apu! Ma Jialong almost spat out his drink! But he was prepared with a rebuttal: ¡°Brother Fei! Do you believe that any undead account from our guild¡¯s main team, valued at tens of thousands, could easily compete with this Bloodsucking Orc? It¡¯s simple; undead aren¡¯t afraid of others sucking their blood! If a 6 million account can¡¯t even beat one worth tens of thousands, or even a regular undead account, what would we think? In the end, it¡¯s not worth that price, Brother Fei, don¡¯t be misled by those posts on the forums. How about this, 1.1 million! That¡¯s the best I can do!¡± Damn! That¡¯s too much of a rip-off! Da Fei discontentedly said, ¡°Brother Lei, your offer is quite disappointing. Undead can¡¯t even beat the Mage Academy, does that mean the God-level heroes of the Undead Race are trash? That kind of comparison doesn¡¯t work.¡± Ma Jialong became anxious, ¡°Who said the undead can¡¯t beat the Mage Academy? In national wars, what matters is national power! The Court College¡¯s scope is just too small, nowhere near competing with our undead Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea. Not to mention, there aren¡¯t many players in the world employed at the Mage Academy, making it difficult to form a group advantage. How can they compete with the undead?¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°Brother Lei, let¡¯s not talk about this. Your offered price puts me in a tough spot; I might as well sell directly to a big tycoon, there are plenty on the Gold Hunting Net.¡± Ma Jialong coldly chuckled, ¡°Brother Fei, business or not, we remain on good terms. Whoever you sell to is your freedom, but when the big tycoon who bought your legacy keeps getting PK¡¯d by regular undead player accounts, what will the tycoon who spent 6 million on an account think?¡± I couldn¡¯t care less what he thinks! I¡¯ve sold it, it¡¯s not my problem anymore! Suddenly, Da Fei¡¯s brow twitched! Wait a minute, there¡¯s more to these words, it¡¯s a warning, implying that anyone who dares to compete with Dragon Slayer will get PK¡¯d until they can¡¯t continue, and then sell the account? Damn, with Hemorrhoid Ointment¡¯s attitude, he could definitely do it! Maybe Dragon Slayer has already started threatening when I advertised? If that¡¯s the case, the tycoons might be cautious and dare not buy? And what does ¡°business or not, we remain on good terms¡± mean? Is it a veiled threat that if I don¡¯t sell to them, I¡¯m offending them? To hell with it! Although I¡¯m fearless in gaming and unafraid of offending players, as a professional player needing to make money and prosper, I still have to consider the tycoons¡¯ feelings, right? And isn¡¯t Dragon Slayer a big tycoon? But no matter how big a tycoon, they shouldn¡¯t bully customers! Da Fei mustered his courage and stood his ground, ¡°Not selling for less than 5 million!¡± Ma Jialong sighed, ¡°How about this, actually, my position can only handle deals of up to 1 million. If Brother Fei feels shortchanged, I¡¯ll let the boss directly negotiate with you.¡± Oh? Does this mean the boss will definitely offer more than 1 million? Da Fei replied, ¡°Alright!¡± Before long, Da Fei received a message; this time from ¡°Dragon Scale,¡± which was Ma Yinglong¡¯s real ID. Indeed, Ma Yinglong dropped the guise and stepped in personally. The art of negotiation, being a rogue first and a gentleman later. Ma Jialong¡¯s role was to shamelessly haggle and intimidate, now the real person comes in to ease the tension, creating a strong contrast, leading the opponent to make invisible concessions. Dragon Scale sighed, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, I am truly sorry, the people below only know how to play games without much insight, please forgive them.¡± Da Fei was momentarily stunned, coughed softly, and said, ¡°Well, Chairman Ma, friendship is friendship, and business is business. I sold it to you because I considered your Dragon Slayer brand; I can¡¯t accept your offer.¡± Dragon Scale sighed, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, our guild has a dedicated marketing team, every high-level virtual item¡¯s utility and value are carefully calculated. Of course, we want to do business and make friends. I admire Mr. Da Fei¡¯s capabilities, so as a gesture of friendship, I offer 2 million. How does Mr. Da Fei feel about that? You can conduct a survey on Gold Hunting Net; currently, there hasn¡¯t been a single large deal in the China Region that exceeds 2 million, most are around 30 to 500 thousand. This reflects the gap between the hype market and the real market, or it¡¯s the difference between China Region prices and international prices. Beyond this price point, our Dragon Slayer Guild cannot bear it and would have to regretfully forgo it, as year-end expenses have emptied our pockets for the new year, leaving us with little spare money. What do you think, Mr. Da Fei? Of course, Mr. Da Fei can choose to hold onto it, and we would have no objections. Whether or not the deal is made, we still wish to be friends with Mr. Da Fei!¡± For a while, Da Fei trembled all over in silent contemplation. 2 million! A doubling of their offer! But still far below Da Fei¡¯s psychological price point! However, it was undeniably a staggering sum, especially for Da Fei, who bought a Skill Reset Potion and was so poor he could only afford instant noodles and steamed buns! Would a poor person prefer to lose big and take the immediate 2 million to get rich overnight and change their destiny, or wait for an uncertain future to earn 5 million? The answer was clear! To a poor person, 2 million and 5 million aren¡¯t much different; only the money in hand counts! Just like a gambler with limited funds can¡¯t compete with one who has deep pockets, right now, he simply lacked the leverage to negotiate prices! Not to mention, he still had a small account with a blood-sucking legacy, indicating this legacy wasn¡¯t exceptionally rare! With billions of players in the world and countless fortuitous encounters, was it really impossible to secure a legacy? Finally, Da Fei made up his mind, ¡°Alright! Just because Chairman wants to be friends with me, I¡¯ll sell for 2 million!¡± Ma Yinglong rejoiced, ¡°Worthy of the legendary Brother Fei, so bold and generous, I admire you greatly! I¡¯m determined to make you my friend!¡± Damn! Not only did he score a great deal, but also befriended China Region¡¯s top expert, impressive! If I don¡¯t try to get something out of this, I won¡¯t feel at ease! Da Fei sighed, ¡°Chairman Ma, I¡¯ve killed dozens of people from Star, fined by the system until penniless, can you aid a brother?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, ¡°Good kill, thrilling! No problem, once our transaction is complete, we¡¯ll have a small account sent your way, Brother Fei.¡± Da Fei sighed deeply, well, damn it. ¡­ ¨CDing Dong! Da Fei¡¯s phone beeped, it was 95533!!! Da Fei, trembling, opened the message and counted those six zeroes repeatedly, tears welled up, and he laughed ecstatically, ¡°I¡¯ve hit the jackpot, I finally struck it rich, haha! Wahahaha¡­¡± (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (wuxiaworld.site) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.

Chapter 193: Chapter 183: Brother Has Finally Become the Head of the Family! Facing this first pot of gold in life, Da Fei was ecstatic, his mind racing with countless thoughts. All those things he had wanted to buy but couldn¡¯t afford were now within reach! No, buying stuff is too superficial! I¡¯m not buying anything! I¡¯m going to save it! Put it in the bank, and I¡¯ll have tens of thousands in interest each year! This is my retirement fund! My life is worth it now! Haha! Wahahaha! Wealth often changed a person¡¯s character. And this huge sum of money gave Da Fei an immense sense of security! For ten years, wandering through the concrete jungle like Shendong City, Da Fei lived by the law of the jungle, without any sense of security. More than once, Da Fei wondered, what would await him in another ten, twenty years, if he could no longer work? But now, it¡¯s different! Money is the courage of heroes! I¡¯ve got money now, I¡¯ve struck it rich, I¡¯ve got the guts, and my life is finally beginning a new chapter! My career is truly taking off! ¡ª-System Prompt: Farolan143 wants to initiate a trade with you, do you accept? Oh, the alternate account here to send money! Accept! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have received 30,000 Gold Coins from Farolan143! 30,000! Oh yeah! Now I¡¯ve got money in the game too! Dragon Scale¡¯s message rang again: ¡°Brother Fei, sorry ha, the Game Coins are even tighter than RMB, our stall is big, and we can only offer this much for now, Brother Fei, please don¡¯t laugh!¡± Da Fei quickly said: ¡°Not at all, Chairman Ma is so righteous, thank you!¡± Righteous my ass! But I¡¯m in a great mood, so I won¡¯t quibble with you, wahahaha! Dragon Scale laughed: ¡°Once a stranger, twice familiar, thrice and we¡¯re old friends. Let¡¯s continue to work together on any good deals in the future!¡± Da Fei laughed: ¡°That¡¯s for sure, definitely, I feel assured doing business with Chairman Ma!¡± Next time, hmph, with more confidence, it won¡¯t be so easy to deal with me. Dragon Scale laughed: ¡°Alright, then I won¡¯t disturb Brother Fei anymore, you take your time!¡± ¡°Chairman Ma, take your time!¡± ¡­. After completing the trade with Da Fei, Ma Yinglong laughed heartily as he pulled out a bottle of reserved red wine from the cabinet beside him, filled up a large glass, drank it down as if it were cola, then poured another big glass, slowly savoring it. At this point, the assistant Chang Liang came forward with a smile: ¡°Congratulations, big brother, for getting a bargain on a top-notch item!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed loudly: ¡°The weakness of the Undead Race is their brittle bones, they¡¯re not refined and also slow, making every battle drag on, it¡¯s very unsatisfying. Where does that compare to the Beastman¡¯s strong burst strength and fierce charge that takes the battle in one strike?¡± Chang Liang laughed: ¡°That¡¯s right, with the Bloodsucking Orc, the Guild¡¯s assault capability will move up a notch! The Beastman¡¯s charge plus the Undead¡¯s endurance will greatly elevate our Guild¡¯s combat power.¡± Ma Yinglong nodded: ¡°Little Liang, how many years have you been with me?¡± Chang Liang straightened up, hastily saying: ¡°Since big brother was at Dragon Slayer Internet Cafe, I¡¯ve followed you for 7 years!¡± Ma Yinglong chuckled: ¡°Yeah, back then my biggest ambition was to become a majestic internet cafe owner, able to make a fortune while playing games, there¡¯s no more enjoyable job in life, and then, you skip class, have no money, just squatting in the internet cafe watching others play games, still volunteering every day to mop the floor and scrub the toilets and serve food to the customers.¡± Chang Liang laughed: ¡°Back then, big brother was the god in my heart, and still is now!¡± Ma Yinglong nodded: ¡°I¡¯m going to start a Beastman branch, and I¡¯m appointing you as the manager of the branch. You¡¯re fully responsible for the rise of the Guild¡¯s Beastman, how about it?¡± Chang Liang was surprised: ¡°Big brother is handing over the Beastman side to me?¡± Ma Yinglong laughed: ¡°Yeah, do you think it¡¯s starting too low and not exciting enough? Or do you not want to part with your Dragon Teeth account?¡± Chang Liang excitedly said: ¡°No, no, no! Thank you for the trust, big brother, I was just complaining about how playing Undead lacks passion and isn¡¯t bloody enough!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed: ¡°Good, I¡¯ve also prepared the Bloodsucking Hero account for you, with the special skill Army¡¯s Roar, the ID name Tyrannosaurus, cool name, right?¡± Chang Liang praised: ¡°Really cool, domineering, and impressive!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed: ¡°I¡¯ve promoted 20 slots from the reserve forces, go over and have a look, take away those you like.¡± Chang Liang immediately said: ¡°Rest assured, big brother, I¡¯ll take all 20, even if it¡¯s a piece of shit I can lead them to glory, let alone people chosen by big brother!¡± Ma Yinglong laughed heartily! From now on, Dragon Slayer will officially begin integrating the entire Dark Alliance of the China Region, Dragon Slayer¡¯s business is beginning a new start! ¡­ Da Fei takes off his helmet and walks to the window to gaze into the distance. The sounds of the New Year lanterns and drum sales fill the streets far and wide. Yes, it¡¯s New Year¡¯s! The best thing in life is returning home in glory! At this moment, Da Fei suddenly felt homesick and really wanted to go back. I have to tell them that I¡¯ve made it big! But on second thought, let¡¯s forget about it, train tickets are hard to come by, it¡¯s difficult to squeeze through the crowds, and I can¡¯t leave. Besides, even 2 million isn¡¯t considered that much back home, any trucker or building materials seller is worth more than that, not to mention those ¡°big landlords.¡± In any case, next year! Next year I¡¯ll definitely go back in style! As for now, of course, it¡¯s about sending some money back home. Of course, dealing with money transfers, such high-tech business, the old folks at home can¡¯t handle it, it¡¯s up to Little Li to take care of that. Hmph, if she knows I earned so much money, will she pee her pants in shock? Of course! It¡¯s called broadening her horizons! This girl has always looked down on me, and now that even I¡¯ve struck it rich, what will she think? Wahahaha! Da Fei then calls Little Li¡¯s phone: ¡°Hey, Little Li?¡± ¡°Mm, what¡¯s up?¡± Jeez! She won¡¯t even call me brother! Da Fei chuckles: ¡°Brother¡¯s struck gold, sending 80,000 home, you handle it.¡± Little Li is shocked: ¡°Bro, what did you do? Where did you get so much money?¡± Wahahaha! Scared, aren¡¯t you? Peed your pants yet? Just 80k and you¡¯re scared to death, what a disgrace! Brother¡¯s heart aches for you! No, I need to enlighten you, let you know what true class and luxury mean! Da Fei chuckles: ¡°Naturally, I did some sales, brother sold a ton of goods in one go at the year¡¯s end.¡± Little Li is surprised: ¡°Impossible! What did you sell, bro? You didn¡¯t do anything bad, did you?¡± Holy shit! Is this the image you have of me in your heart? Da Fei indignantly says: ¡°High-tech water dispensers! In the past few years, delivering water, I got to know thousands of households, flipping through my phone book would cramp your hands! You know what that is? It¡¯s the network I¡¯ve built over the years! It¡¯s connections! Going door-to-door to sell, a few hundred units are a piece of cake, right?¡± Little Li just goes: ¡°Which brand of water dispensers?¡± Da Fei responds blankly: ¡°Glorious brand! A new patent from a small company.¡± Anyway, enough with the nonsense, changing the subject: ¡°Is everything okay at home?¡± Little Li responds blankly: ¡°It¡¯s fine.¡± Something¡¯s off in her tone? Da Fei inquires: ¡°Tell me the truth, are mom and dad sick and out of money? I have money!¡± Little Li angrily replies: ¡°You¡¯re the sick one! Mom and dad are perfectly healthy, I¡¯m just really annoyed staying at home!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitch: ¡°Could it be¨Csomeone¡¯s come to our house asking for your hand in marriage?¡± Little Li says bluntly: ¡°Yep.¡± Holy shit! I knew it! So-called ¡®a daughter brings a hundred suitors to the door,¡¯ it¡¯s because of Little Li that our parents are so proud! Of course, brother¡¯s proud as well! Da Fei snorts: ¡°Whatever Amao or Agou, they should piss and look in the mirror first! If they don¡¯t have 2 million in assets, there¡¯s no point in talking!¡± Little Li vehemently says: ¡°I don¡¯t want to stay at home anymore, the longer I stay the more irritated I get!¡± Da Fei quickly says: ¡°No problem, come to school then!¡± Little Li suddenly cheers up: ¡°Is that okay?¡± Da Fei snorts again: ¡°What¡¯s wrong with that? I¡¯ll just talk to the old man, say that brother got promoted to deputy manager and made a fortune, and ask you to come for an internship over the winter break, and incidentally meet a few rich and handsome guys, that¡¯s the plan!¡± Little Li says indignantly: ¡°I don¡¯t want to come for an internship!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei laughs: ¡°Of course, it¡¯s just a pretext. I do the rough work, you¡¯d be useless here anyway, but right now, you¡¯re still young, you should study more! I¡¯ll book you a plane ticket!¡± Little Li protests: ¡°No need, a train ticket will do!¡± Da Fei despises: ¡°Train tickets, you won¡¯t even have a place to pee, that¡¯s settled!¡± Hmph, let her see the authority and generosity of being a brother! Anyway, after ending the call with his excited sister and parents, Da Fei feels himself standing taller and prouder than ever, brother has finally become the head of the household! Wahahaha!

Chapter 194 - Chapter 194 Chapter 184 The New Hero Anlicia Chapter 194: Chapter 184: The New Hero Anlicia Chapter 194: Chapter 184: The New Hero Anlicia After handling matters at home, Da Fei put on his helmet and embarked on a new journey. First, of course, it was to visit the mayor in Elorin to sort out getting a ship. Even if it couldn¡¯t be sorted, it was no big deal; buying a medium-sized ship wouldn¡¯t be a problem for him now. Ah, after making some money, his mind was more at ease. The Flying had 1,000 cabins, but it wasn¡¯t a dedicated cargo ship, so compared to ships of the same model, the Flying¡¯s cargo hold wasn¡¯t large. Not to mention, the cargo hold was now a gun cabin, reducing it by 500 cabins. So, buying a medium-sized cargo ship with a capacity of 500 cabins wouldn¡¯t be too difficult. Then it was time to recruit people. As long as he shouted at the dock, ¡°Grandmaster Locomotive leads the long-distance trip, everyone pays only 20% of the ticket price,¡± players would come rushing. However, there was a problem: at this stage, players mainly had small ships, and long-distance travel was definitely not as cost-effective as short trips. Ah, whatever, he¡¯ll just go alone for now. Being too ahead of the times is a type of burden. Ignoring the crowd watching him, Da Fei headed towards the teleportation array. He knew these players weren¡¯t completely watching him; they were gawking at his two precious beauties, ha-ha! In the whole China Region, he was the only one with beautiful female heroes, and two at that. Awesome, right? Just then, two players approached him: ¡°Brother Fei! We want to stick with you!¡± Da Fei was momentarily stunned. Whoa, direct enough? He scrutinized the two, Invincible Soldier and Invincible Wei, noting their low levels and poor store-bought equipment. In the past, Da Fei would undoubtedly ignore them and just walk away. He had no trust or patience for other players. But now, his perspective had changed a bit, thinking about friends! People are social animals, after all. Even if you don¡¯t have genuine friends, at least have fake ones. Like that Dragon Slayer earlier, definitely a deceitful and unreliable ¡®friend.¡¯ But for the sake of appearances, he had to help in an emergency with 30,000 gold coins, no? Da Fei had spent ten years in Shendong with a phone full of ¡®friends,¡¯ but what use were they? They weren¡¯t worth forming deeper relationships with, and even speaking to them felt like wasting phone credit. Similarly, he wasn¡¯t worth others befriending. He was just a laborer with no connections, unwilling to lend money, fight, or even treat others to meals. Being the way he was, he had no right to be anyone¡¯s friend. It all boiled down to one word, ¡°poor,¡± and two words, ¡°stingy,¡± three words, ¡°no ability.¡± But the game was different. In the game, Da Fei was badass! Both the androgynous beauties of Star and the boss of Dragon Slayer respected him! It was about time to gather some lackeys! Da Fei reminisced about his time as the head of the Dragon Slayer guild, laughing at the winds and clouds. Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Stick with me? Why?¡± Invincible Soldier quickly added, ¡°Because Brother Fei is badass!¡± Da Fei laughed, ¡°I¡¯ve made many enemies. If you¡¯re with me, you risk getting cut!¡± Invincible Soldier immediately said, ¡°As long as Brother Fei is willing to take us, we¡¯re ready to go up against anything with him!¡± Whoa, did they think facing danger provided a lot of experience? Not just any Amao or Agou could freeload like this. They needed to show some competence, or else why should he take on two freeloaders causing trouble everywhere? He had to test them, but what test? At that moment, a crisp, lively female voice called, ¡°Is it Mr. Da Fei?¡± Da Fei and his two potential followers turned to see a female elf with long green hair, wearing leather armor and holding a wooden bow! No, it was a hero with a gold butterfly aura around her feet! Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Is it me?¡± The beautiful hero shyly handed Da Fei a letter, ¡°This is a letter from my grandmother!¡± Your grandmother? Da Fei took the letter and opened it. ¨C Young Captain Da Fei, Hello, I¡¯m Anwen. By the time you see this letter, I will have finished my fulfilling and joyful life. I have no regrets, but I¡¯m worried about my mischievous and playful granddaughter Anlicia. I have one request, hoping the captain will guide her and cultivate her into an excellent hero. Captain, I¡¯m counting on you! ¨C Anwen. Da Fei¡¯s body shook violently! Anwen was dead? This was her will! Trembling, Da Fei looked at the young elf in front of him: ¡°Are you Professor Anwen¡¯s granddaughter, Anlicia?¡± The beautiful hero¡¯s eyes reddened, and she nodded. Two streams of tears rolled down Da Fei¡¯s cheeks! Grandma, you were too kind! You not only helped me with tasks but also taught me so much, and in the end, you even sent your beautiful granddaughter to me! You are like my real grandma! Don¡¯t worry, grandma, I will surely cultivate Anlicia into a God-level Hero! Da Fei sighed deeply, wiping away his tears. ¡°Anlicia, welcome to my team! Rest assured, here learning is fun!¡± Anlicia joyfully exclaimed and bowed, ¡°Then please take care of me, captain!¡± ¨C System Prompt: Epic Hero Anlicia has become your Vice Hero! Ah! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but burst out laughing! An Epic Hero! This epic hero was sent right to him! It turned out Grandma had been watching his performance in the Abyss Blood Pool. This was an extra reward! Hahaha! Anlicia: Since childhood, a gifted elf girl and granddaughter of Professor Anwen. Indulged by elders, she resisted conformity, lacking discipline, much to their concern. Personality: Rebellious, active, lively Level: 20 Profession: Advanced Ranger. Unique Talent: Hive Queen. The hero¡¯s ¡°Swarm Disturbance¡± magic increases damage with each level and has a chance to cause a Blinding effect.

Ah! Looking at her long list of diverse yet mediocre skills, Da Fei spat on the spot! This was definitely a poorly created hero with wasted points! Grandma, you mean for me to turn her into a navigator, right? Okay, rest assured, Grandma! At this moment, Invincible Soldier in front of Da Fei shouted, ¡°Brother Fei! You¡¯re amazing! Recruiting a female hero right in front of us. Brother Fei, I¡¯m at your feet! Brother Fei, please take us in! We¡¯re sticking with you!¡± In a great mood, Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Alright! From now on, you¡¯re with me!¡± (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, feel free to visit Qidian [wuxiaworld.site] to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

Chapter 195 - Chapter 195 Chapter 185 The Mixed Mess of Dragons and Snakes Chapter 195: Chapter 185: The Mixed Mess of Dragons and Snakes in Elorin Chapter 195: Chapter 185: The Mixed Mess of Dragons and Snakes in Elorin Invincible Soldier¡¯s shout immediately caused a stir among the crowd: ¡°Oh my God! Another female hero recruited! Three female heroes!¡± ¡°Does this Da Fei just have a fate with beautiful heroes? That¡¯s amazing!¡± ¡°Tsk! What¡¯s the big deal? Let¡¯s see how he levels up with three vice heroes!¡± ¡°Damn, if I had three female heroes, not leveling up would still be worth it!¡± ¡­. Listening to the envy, jealousy, and resentment around him, Da Fei asked Invincible Soldier in front of him with smug satisfaction, ¡°What are your plans now?¡± Hahaha, this female hero really came at the perfect time! Late or early, she chose the moment when I was recruiting little brothers, what¡¯s that saying? Whatever, it just feels awesome! Invincible Soldier quickly replied, ¡°Whatever Brother Fei does, we do!¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m heading out to sea for trade, can you handle the boredom?¡± Invincible Soldier happily exclaimed, ¡°We¡¯re going trading too! Our goal is to become professional players! Following Brother Fei is fantastic!¡± Da Fei nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Very well, I won¡¯t take small boats, and I don¡¯t have time to babysit, so you need to do three things: First, buy a medium-sized ship. Second, learn Advanced Navigation Skill and the sub-skill Towing, or at least make sure your vice hero knows it. Third, don¡¯t bother me if you can¡¯t manage it!¡± Invincible Soldier was shocked, ¡°Could it be Brother Fei knows the legendary Divine Skill Navigation?¡± ¡°Oh my!¡± Da Fei patted Invincible Soldier¡¯s shoulder in surprise, ¡°Nice job, kid! You actually know about Navigation?¡± Invincible Soldier smiled obsequiously, ¡°Of course, I studied a bit during the beta test. Rest assured, Brother Fei, we¡¯ll definitely make it happen and won¡¯t disappoint you!¡± Da Fei said approvingly, ¡°Great, I¡¯m heading to Elorin. Once you make it big, come find me, and I¡¯ll take you on international long-distance runs!¡± Invincible Soldier nodded excitedly, ¡°That¡¯s awesome! Thank you, Brother Fei! Thank you!¡± Da Fei then looked at Invincible Wei beside them and said with surprise, ¡°This guy doesn¡¯t talk much, huh?¡± Invincible Soldier hurriedly said, ¡°This is my classmate, a straightforward guy who doesn¡¯t talk much but is very reliable. Don¡¯t worry, Brother Fei.¡± Invincible Wei finally spoke for the first time, ¡°Hello Brother Fei, thank you!¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°Well, not bad, goodbye!¡± With those words, he walked towards the Teleportation Array with his head held high, accompanied by three beautiful vice heroes, under the eyes of the crowd. Invincible Soldier hurriedly said, ¡°We¡¯ll see Brother Fei off!¡± and followed Da Fei all the way to the Teleportation Array. Da Fei was even more satisfied in his heart. This Invincible Soldier seemed to understand things well! The feeling of having little brothers truly was different; no wonder that guy with the Hemorrhoid Ointment name was so cocky. Hahaha! ¡°Brother Fei, take care!¡± Invincible Soldier respectfully said beside the Teleportation Array. Da Fei nodded, just about to teleport when he suddenly remembered something and asked, ¡°You¡¯re not going to Elorin? You can build your reputation faster there and buy the ship sooner.¡± Invincible Soldier coughed awkwardly, ¡°Well, we have tasks on this side, can¡¯t go for now.¡± Invincible Wei spoke, ¡°Brother Fei, we lost the National War, got wiped clean, and have no money for the Teleportation Array.¡± Invincible Soldier¡¯s face changed with shock and he kicked Wei hard: ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Then he smiled at Da Fei and said, ¡°Nothing like that, just doing some tasks will settle it.¡± Da Fei made a sound of acknowledgment. Indeed, they¡¯ve just joined me, who would be happy if the first thing they did was ask for money? What if they¡¯re just begging scam players? If it were before, anyone asking Da Fei for money would get kicked out immediately. But today Da Fei felt different, today was full of joy and happiness. So Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°I see! Truly honest people speak honestly! Not bad, I admire you guys. Handy Soldier is tough, I admire that! Let me be honest too, just killed dozens in the recent raid and don¡¯t have much money left, here¡¯s 1000 Gold Coins for your travel!¡± Invincible Soldier exclaimed excitedly, ¡°Brother Fei, you¡¯re truly loyal!¡± Invincible Wei also said, ¡°Brother Fei, I¡¯m sorry!¡± Da Fei laughed aloud, ¡°Let¡¯s go, to Elorin!¡± ¡°Yes, Brother Fei!¡± With a flash of white light, they arrived in Elorin. Elorin was a harbor city, completely unlike the giant forest of Farolan. There¡¯s no big trees by the sea, so it looked similar to a human city, which made Da Fei feel very familiar. Da Fei strutted confidently toward City Hall with his beautiful little brothers. Unsurprisingly, this walk drew the crowd¡¯s astonishment, and the entire city channel was buzzing: ¡°Da Fei is back!¡± This was the feeling of returning home gloriously! Who said I¡¯m not an Honorary Citizen here? Now let me hear who dares to curse me? I slaughtered Star internally and took down the Americans externally, aren¡¯t you afraid? Hahaha! Right then, a group of people blocked Da Fei¡¯s path, with unfriendly faces. Oh my? Someone still held a grudge and wanted to settle old scores, huh? Haven¡¯t you watched the National War stream, or what? Today I have my little brothers, so I can¡¯t afford to lose face. Time to do what I¡¯m best at, dealing with all sorts of dissatisfaction! A player named ¡°Sea and Sky¡± wearing well-equipped gear was evidently their leader, and he squinted, saying, ¡°Da Fei?¡± Da Fei smirked coldly, ¡°I¡¯m not recruiting little brothers today.¡± Sea and Sky laughed maniacally, ¡°This is our Blood Sea Studio¡¯s territory, you got it?¡± So that¡¯s it! It¡¯s that knucklehead. If it were in the past, I might have feared his God-level Hero, but now who fears whom? Da Fei chuckled, ¡°I don¡¯t take past matters to heart, no need to fear. We can all make money, I won¡¯t be putting pressure on you!¡± Sea and Sky angrily said, ¡°Let¡¯s see you bring out that big ship of yours, you arrogant prick!¡± Oh, really think my big ship sank, huh? Da Fei stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and sighed, ¡°I¡¯m the guy who completed the epic National War mission. Even without the big ship, my level is way above your big boss by several streets, you truly have no standing to be my enemy. I advise you not to do anything foolish!¡± With this, the color on the faces of the blocking crowd changed. Hmm, better, even if they¡¯re just minor characters, the intelligence wasn¡¯t too bad. Sea and Sky furiously said, ¡°I¡¯m the big boss, I¡¯m Brother Tian!¡± Da Fei smiled, ¡°Yes, yes, I¡¯m going trading now, ready to take on any challenges you present. Better prepare, or else, if you find yourself relegated to being freight captains, I won¡¯t refuse! Please step aside since prolonged blocking may get you caught by city management!¡± He finished, laughed heartily, and walked away. Brother Tian gritted his teeth, cursing angrily, ¡°We¡¯ll see about that, you¡¯ll be the one crying then.¡± Indeed, Blood Sea Wave was back to the Desolate Barbarian Pirate Islands. This time, Blood Sea Wave¡¯s goal was to find a way to instigate master Barak against Rock, then steal Rock¡¯s Tiger Shark Battleship. Compared to Da Fei¡¯s shabby old ship, the Tiger Shark pirate ship boasted great speed, powerful firepower, solid defense, and a large crew. Once acquired, revenge and rising to power were just around the corner. ¡­. At this moment, Invincible Soldier following Da Fei exclaimed excitedly, ¡°Brother Fei! You¡¯re so awesome! Being with you, we have status and confidence!¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°World-class professionals are no match for me, I kill swathes at a time, not to mention them!¡± Invincible Soldier nodded repeatedly, ¡°Brother Fei is mighty and domineering!¡± Da Fei shook his head, chuckling, ¡°Let¡¯s not dwell on the past. Now I¡¯m a world-class celebrity representing the image of the China Region, and I emphasize winning people with virtue. Remember this as you hang out with me, don¡¯t be bullies or villains, understood?¡± Both nodded excitedly, ¡°Got it, Brother Fei, we understand!¡± Invincible Soldier added, ¡°Would Brother Fei like to recruit more people? I know a few friends.¡± Da Fei smiled, ¡°You should at least make a name for yourselves first, right? Otherwise, how do you have the face to recruit others?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Brother Fei, you¡¯re absolutely right. We need to achieve something first, not to embarrass you.¡± Hahaha, that¡¯s the good thing about having little brothers, even your farts smell pleasant. This feels great! The group arrived at the entrance of City Hall. The gatekeeper was pleasantly surprised, ¡°So it¡¯s Mr. Da Fei returning victoriously. The Mayor has been expecting you for a long time, please come in!¡± This is the scene I was hoping for, I¡¯m counting on your help with my ship! (To be continued.

Chapter 196 - Chapter 196 Chapter 186 The Revival of the Dragon Cavalry Chapter 196: Chapter 186: The Revival of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce Chapter 196: Chapter 186: The Revival of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce In the secret meeting room at Elorin City Hall, Da Fei was given an exclusive banquet by Mayor Auseliman. Of course, in this setting, little brothers like Da Bing and Da Wei couldn¡¯t enter and had to wait outside. Auseliman laughed heartily: ¡°Mr. Da Fei, you are the hero recommended by us in Elorin. You have accomplished the task that the Kingdom deemed impossible. You are the pride of the Bright Alliance, the pride of the Elf Kingdom, and certainly the pride of Elorin! To celebrate your triumphant return, let¡¯s toast!¡± Good to know! Your political achievements must have skyrocketed! How will you thank Brother Xie? Da Fei chuckled and said, ¡°Not at all, not at all, it¡¯s all thanks to Mayor¡¯s support. Cheers!¡± After the pleasantries, Auseliman chuckled and said, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, now let¡¯s talk about settling the debt!¡± Oh, getting down to business. Settling debts should be simple, just toss a large ship to me. Otherwise, in the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, if it¡¯s not cleared, I might as well hang myself, which is certainly the last thing a creditor wants to see. Da Fei sighed: ¡°Exactly, exactly, the thought of this debt problem makes me restless. I¡¯d love to trade my way out of debt, but unfortunately, there¡¯s no big ship. You have to think of a way, Mayor.¡± Auseliman clapped his hands and laughed: ¡°No need to panic, Mr. Da Fei. I¡¯m here to help you figure it out!¡± Da Fei was overjoyed! It turned out that the people who cared about you the most were your creditors! Auseliman suddenly turned serious: ¡°I would like to appoint you as the president of the Sea Commerce Association, how do you feel about that?¡± Da Fei was suddenly shocked: ¡°Sea Commerce Association!¡± The Sea Commerce Association, as the name suggests, is a guild for shipping cargo at sea. It¡¯s essentially another specific title for a guild. In the game, guilds are not just player chat rooms; they¡¯re also institutions that have upgrade paths. Player hero skills are divided into four major categories: Legion, Lord, Adventure, and Scholar. Similarly, guild functions are divided into several major systems. For instance, guilds specialized in sea trade are called Sea Commerce Associations, offering players additional experience and reputation rewards for overseas trade and sea attack and defense bonuses. Guilds focused on land-based transport are called Trade Guilds, offering players logistics skills and attack damage bonuses. Guilds specializing in adventure are called Adventurer Guilds, increasing the player¡¯s monster-killing drop rate and the chance to discover hidden treasures. The most mainstream one is the War Guild, which significantly improves the attributes of players¡¯ troops. In fact, as long as a guild has enough money and enough people doing tasks, it can advance comprehensively in parallel development. For example, during the open beta until the last day of closed beta, Star Guild¡¯s attribute was: Comprehensive Level 152 (War 72, Sea Commerce 30, Adventure 30, Trade 20). The effect of a level 70 War Guild is that all player troop attributes increase by about 7%. Don¡¯t underestimate this 7% ¨C it¡¯s like, when ten thousand people from both sides fight against each other, one side suddenly has 700 more soldiers. Of course, the role of the guild is not just to give players a little buff; more importantly, many tasks with rich rewards can only be received by joining a guild, especially a large guild with high levels and prestige. Large projects need big trustworthy companies to undertake. However, the benefits of a guild are so plentiful, but establishing one isn¡¯t that easy. In short, it requires constantly doing tasks to accumulate prestige, etc., which is very bothersome and painful. So far, more than ten days since the game opened, neither the China Region nor anywhere else in the world has seen a guild established. Such cumbersome, troublesome guild establishments haven¡¯t proceeded, yet the mayor wants to give me a ready-made guild presidency? This completely breaks the system¡¯s ¡°principles¡±! Da Fei said incredulously: ¡°Sir, does my prestige qualify to establish a guild?¡± Auseliman shook his head and said sternly: ¡°No need to establish a new one. We have an existing Sea Commerce: Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce. This is a historical guild, older than my grandfather, once renowned in the Kingdom and always the pride of Elorin. However, a hundred years ago, the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce deviated from its course during a storm and accidentally entered the Sea God¡¯s Holy Land, ¡®Seaborne Mirage Tower.¡¯ At that time, driven by greed, the fleet captain stole the sacred site¡¯s sacrificial artifact, angering the Sea God. In the subsequent years, all the ships involved in the theft sank during maritime disasters, causing catastrophic damage to the guild¡¯s safety reputation!¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat! He understood, indeed there¡¯s no such thing as a free lunch! Auseliman continued: ¡°Soon the guild bankrupted and was passed on. New ships joined the guild, but to no avail; the maritime disasters continued. The Sea God¡¯s wrath was not just directed at the guild¡¯s ships but at the entire guild! No one dared to take over the guild now, so it remains quietly on the Kingdom¡¯s guild registration book. A hundred years have passed, the guild has been downgraded year by year. This is the last year. If it gets downgraded again, this historical, once-glorious Dragon Cavalry Guild will be forcibly revoked, ceasing to exist! Mr. Da Fei, do you understand what I mean?¡± Da Fei exclaimed in astonishment: ¡°Sir, you mean I should take over this guild?¡± Auseliman nodded: ¡°That¡¯s right! You completed the impossible task, you¡¯re a super hero of great potential and a young promising navigator, you successfully overcame two god-level storms. You¡¯re the only candidate who can withstand the Sea God¡¯s Curse. The task to revive the Dragon Cavalry Guild can only be entrusted to you! And I can assure you, the Dragon Cavalry Guild is absolutely worth saving. Its long history has developed many practical guild traits, just like hero specialties that are rare and to be sought after!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: Elorin City Mayor Auseliman tasks you with the epic mission ¡°Revival of the Dragon Cavalry Guild,¡± will you accept? ¡ª Task Hint: The Dragon Knight Commerce is under the Sea God¡¯s Curse. So far, no single guild ship has been spared from maritime disasters. You need to endure the Sea God¡¯s Curse within a year to preserve the guild. Ah, damn! Da Fei spat out a glob of snot! The mayor, indeed being the mayor, is impressive and high-class. The first thing off the bat is an epic mission! Saving just one guild warrants an epic level? Just what monstrous atrocities did this guild commit that it angered a god so much? Was it just stealing a treasure? A divine artifact-level treasure? Or did they even molest the beautiful priestesses? Epic missions require caution! Da Fei sighed: ¡°Mr. Mayor, if I fail?¡± Auseliman shook his head with a smile: ¡°I believe if Mr. Da Fei were someone who halts out of fear of failure, then Mr. Da Fei¡¯s kingdom mission would have never succeeded. I have faith in you!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei sighed: ¡°Then about the big ship?¡± Auseliman sighed: ¡°With Mr. Da Fei¡¯s current reputation, it¡¯s impossible to purchase large ships. Even I, as the mayor, cannot abuse my power. However, with your current reputation, you can use medium-sized ships. I can personally sponsor you a medium-sized ship, and you can collect it directly from the Captain.¡± Damn it! A medium-sized ship can¡¯t weather a damn storm! Fine, no point in obsessing over it. So what if the ship sinks and the cargo goes overboard, no big deal. There¡¯s no reason not to accept an epic mission delivered to the door! (To be continued.

Chapter 197 - Chapter 197 Chapter 187 Initial Establishment of the Chamber Chapter 197: Chapter 187: Initial Establishment of the Chamber of Commerce Chapter 197: Chapter 187: Initial Establishment of the Chamber of Commerce ¡ª-System Prompt: You accepted the Epic Quest ¡°Revival of the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce¡±! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have become the president of the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce! You can now view the current status of the guild through the guild management panel. Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce: A sea commerce guild cursed by the Sea God. Overall Level: Level 1 (Level 1 Sea Commerce, Level 0 Adventure Guild, Level 0 War Guild, Level 0 Trade Guild.) Level 1 Sea Commerce: Gain an extra 1% experience reputation from trading. Guild Reputation: -1.04 million. Current Guild Feature: Buying and selling discounts. Guild President: Da Fei (Task appointment, cannot be transferred) Guild Residence: Elorin Sea Commerce Office 003. Guild Assets: 0 Guild Ships: 0 Guild Officers: 0 people. Guild Members: 0 people. Current number of guild members allowed: 100 people. ¡­. Warning: The guild is in a large negative reputation state. If any security incidents or breach incidents occur, the guild will be forcibly dissolved. A brief introduction to the guild attributes shows no difference from a typical newly established guild, except for this -1.04 million negative reputation that stabs Da Fei¡¯s in-app purchase dog eyes! -1.04 million reputation! Damn it! How can I even level up with this! Guild leveling is different from player leveling, players need Experience, while guilds need Reputation. Every trade completed by the guild, every task finished, adds Reputation. Once enough Reputation is gained, the guild levels up, enhancing its attributes, developing new guild skills, increasing the maximum recruitable members, and receiving higher-end tasks. In other words, the current state not only requires surviving the Sea God¡¯s curse but also demands clearing this -1.04 million negative reputation within a year of game time, equivalent to just over a month in real time! No wonder this is an Epic Quest! It¡¯s a pain! Such a painful guild, is it really worth saving? After leveling up, does it really have substance? It is said that a demoted guild can upgrade again without spending resources and time redeveloping skills, implying that the advantage of a guild lies herein. But the precondition is, to level up, first clear the negative reputation! Whatever, if I fail, I¡¯ll just wash it clean and pretend I never took this task. Speaking of which, seems like I¡¯ve become the world¡¯s first guild president, haven¡¯t I? Why isn¡¯t there a world broadcast? Doesn¡¯t the task count? At this time, Auseliman laughed, ¡°Worthy of Mr. Da Fei. I¡¯m relieved to hand such a daunting task to you. Please head to the shipyard now to receive your ships. Meanwhile, I¡¯ll notify the Sea Commerce Association to clear the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce¡¯s office for you.¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll go now.¡± Suddenly remembering he had two little bros, Brother Wei realized that if he didn¡¯t let them bask in some glory, there might be a loyalty issue! Da Fei hurriedly laughed, ¡°Mayor, could you sponsor two more medium ships? After all, it¡¯s a new opening for an old chamber of commerce; we need four or five people and seven or eight guns! One lonely ship setting sail looks unmotivated.¡± The mayor shook his head, smiling, ¡°I am an honest official. I truly have no extra funds for private sponsorships. But Mr. Da Fei makes a good point. I¡¯ll step forward and ask the shipyard to grant credit for one ship to Mr. Da Fei. A medium ship shouldn¡¯t be a problem. Regardless of the task¡¯s success, you must repay the shipyard¡¯s debt immediately.¡± Honesty, my foot! Da Fei nodded repeatedly, ¡°Thank you, Mayor!¡± I get it; the mayor¡¯s special skill is ¡°credit¡±! Otherwise, how else could I receive rewards before completing tasks, or build the Banshee Camp before paying? God-level specialty! A mayor who can¡¯t grant credit isn¡¯t a good mayor! Wahahaha! The mayor laughed, ¡°But I must remind you, even with a ship, members require enough reputation to operate it; this can¡¯t be vague.¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°Understood, understood!¡± In the game, not only must you have sufficient reputation to buy a ship, but also to operate it, equivalent to a license. Otherwise, it would be too easy for main accounts to buy ships and trade them to secondary accounts. Although the two little bros don¡¯t have enough reputation to operate the ships, my goal is to show them the capabilities of their big bro, so they¡¯ll work wholeheartedly for it! ¡­. During Da Fei¡¯s meeting with the mayor, Da Bing and Da Wei also kept busy outside the door. Da Bing immediately sent a message and screenshot to his computer science buddies who disbanded last night, ¡°Da Liu, see this? We¡¯ve hit the jackpot, the number one in National service, the legendary Brother Fei. Let¡¯s join the fun together.¡± Da Liu chuckled, ¡°Who was the big mouth saying they would make something of themselves and form a university war team? If you had said earlier you wanted to be reliant on others, we would¡¯ve joined Star directly. No need to be beaten like a dog, right? Honestly, I don¡¯t think like this Da Fei. He killed dozens of Star members and still hasn¡¯t shed the traitor label. I¡¯d advise you to steer clear unless you expect trouble?¡± Da Bing retorted angrily, ¡°If you guys hadn¡¯t insisted on disbanding, would we have needed to rely on others?¡± Da Liu coldly replied, ¡°Not everyone is fit to lead. We didn¡¯t feel fit, so we followed you, but you¡¯re not much better. Who are you blaming?¡± Da Bing swore, ¡°Fine, enough talk. Lend a brother some money so we can buy ships and repay you once we¡¯re rich.¡± ¡°For what? Even the National War has been cleaned up!¡± ¡°You have money in the bank!¡± ¡°Nope, don¡¯t even think about touching the wife¡¯s savings.¡± ¡°Dang! I¡¯m trying to share good stuff with you guys, asking for a little Game Coin, and you say no. Are we even alumni?¡± ¡°No good stuff, jump into a pit if you want, we won¡¯t accompany you!¡± Da Bing was fuming, ¡°Fine! You guys are something! Damn!¡± Next to them, Da Wei watched their conversation silently, finally feeling compelled to say, ¡°Can this Da Fei really back us up?¡± Da Bing lit a cigarette, blew a smoke ring, staying silent. The dorm atmosphere grew heavy, and the two sat there, lost in thought, exhaling clouds of smoke. For these ambitious college students, always dreaming of making it big post-graduation, marrying a rich beauty, and standing at life¡¯s peak, the reality is, when everyone thinks this way, it leads to conflicts and divisions, even failing to band together for small ventures in games! As they pondered, a flash of white light at the door signaled Da Fei¡¯s exit. Da Bing forced himself back into high spirits, approaching with a smile, ¡°Brother Fei, you¡¯re out!¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°You two are really waiting here? Guys, seize every moment to get things done, don¡¯t waste time like this from now on!¡± The two quickly agreed, ¡°Yes, Brother Fei is right.¡± Satisfied, Da Fei waved, ¡°Come on, let¡¯s go to the shipyard to see the ship.¡± Da Bing was delighted, ¡°A ship?¡± Da Fei gloated, ¡°That¡¯s right, one is mine, and the other one is for you guys, but you can¡¯t operate it yet. So, you must work hard to gain reputation, understood?¡± Da Bing was excited, ¡°Understood! We¡¯ll keep grinding for reputation, won¡¯t let Brother Fei down!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: The president of the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce, Da Fei, invites you to join the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce. Do you accept? Stunned by the sudden system prompt, Da Wei was puzzled, and Da Bing found it hard to believe! ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Da Fei turned nonchalantly, observing their reactions. Da Bing was ecstatic, ¡°Brother Fei! Brother Fei, I¡¯m kneeling for you again! You¡¯re incredible! Guild president! I can¡¯t believe my eyes! I don¡¯t think the world even has any guilds yet, but Brother Fei is the world¡¯s first guild president!¡± Da Fei chuckled coolly, ¡°It¡¯s a quest-generated guild, much more substantial than ordinary guilds. In short, at this level, I couldn¡¯t care less about competing for first place.¡± Da Bing was so excited he was almost rolling on the ground, ¡°Brother Fei is mighty! Brother Fei is magnanimous!¡± Even the usually silent Brother Wei chimed in, ¡°Brother Fei is too strong!¡± Recruiting little bros achieves exactly this effect, surely more fulfilling than playing alone! Da Fei couldn¡¯t resist bursting into a hearty laughter. Under the curious gazes of passersby, Da Fei swaggered toward the shipyard with his entourage of beauties. Da Bing walked proudly, filled with complex emotions! This step was the right one! To see further, stand on a giant¡¯s shoulders; to run faster, still stand on a giant¡¯s shoulders, exerting no effort yourself! When I master sailing, I¡¯ll show Da Liu and the rest! Hah, what are they to me? This vice president position is as good as mine, they¡¯re not even fit to carry my shoes. But for our old alumni¡¯s sake, if they obediently plead with me, I¡¯ll still let them in to help out with tasks, hahaha! Elorin Shipyard. The shipyard manager personally greeted, ¡°Welcome Mr. Da Fei, we¡¯ve been waiting for you. We have several ready-made medium-sized sailing ships. Which would you like, Mr. Da Fei? Let me introduce them. With Mr. Da Fei¡¯s current reputation, you can use our best Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship. The advantages of medium ships are that they have decent speeds in calm coastal waters, can fulfill mid-range transportation needs, and the added 4-gun capacity can effectively threaten small pirate ships in coastal regions¡­¡± Ship Name: Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship Price: 25,000 Gold Coin, 130,000 Elorin City Reputation or Respect Reputation. Ship Special Skill: None Ship Model: Medium-sized Twin-Masted Double-Decked Cargo Sailing Ship. Ship Cargo Capacity: 300 units Ship Gun Cabin: 4 gun positions.

Staring at the mere 30,000 Durability of this medium-sized ship, Da Fei spewed old blood! Damn it, my Flying set sail to the Demon World with only 2,000 Durability! It turns out my Flying is in such poor shape! So, a fully resurrected Flying should be way stronger than a medium-sized ship, right? The manager asked, ¡°Sir, what do you think? This is our best medium ship.¡± Da Fei waved his hand, ¡°This one!¡± 25,000 Gold Coin! Damn, although money isn¡¯t an issue, without the mayor¡¯s help, I wouldn¡¯t afford it! The manager bowed, ¡°Thank you for your purchase, Sir. You can also choose another medium ship!¡± Considering these two little bros¡¯ reputation was problematic, Da Fei said, ¡°Choose the easiest one to obtain, with large cargo capacity.¡± The manager nodded, ¡°We have plenty of those, Medium Clark Cargo Ship, it sacrifices speed, making it bulky, but with ample cargo, the downside is the lack of armament, so it requires heavy escort.¡± Ship Name: Medium Clark Cargo Ship Price: 18,000 Gold Coin, 100,000 Elorin City Reputation.

The manager bowed, ¡°Thank you for your purchase, sir. We¡¯ll need a day to wax and launch the two ships, please wait for one day.¡± Da Fei nodded and turned to them, ¡°See that, 100,000 City Reputation, you need to work hard!¡± The duo excitedly pledged, ¡°Thanks, Brother Fei! We will work hard!¡± (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian (wuxiaworld.site) to vote for recommendations, monthly tickets, and your support is my biggest motivation.

Chapter 198 - Chapter 198 Chapter 188 Took an Extra Glance at You in the Chapter 198: Chapter 188: Took an Extra Glance at You in the Crowd Chapter 198: Chapter 188: Took an Extra Glance at You in the Crowd Watching the two hurriedly rush to the Chamber of Commerce to take on errands, Da Fei sighed to himself. ¡°100,000 reputation, how long will it take these errand runners to achieve that, until the year of the monkey? Medium ships aren¡¯t that easy to operate either.¡± In the game, there¡¯s essentially no fundamental difference between medium ships and small ships, other than being a larger version of a small ship. However, the difference between large ships and medium ships is significant; it¡¯s a matter of oceanic versus coastal, with completely different construction, materials, and design philosophies. If the minimum requirement for medium ships is 100,000 reputation, then large ships would require at least 1,000,000! So for merchant players just entering the game, large ships are an unreachable goal, while medium ships become their lifelong ambition. In any case, these two could not be of much help for a long while. After all, recruiting them was a bit too casual. However, they do have their obvious strengths, like flattering. Only I can venture out first and see what this Sea God¡¯s Curse is all about. But navigating a medium ship leaves me a little uneasy too. After all, my Storm Navigation only works with a large ship. With just one day left, I¡¯ll go see Old Ma, my mentor. As his fortunate apprentice, having accomplished such an impressive feat, he should be proud and offer me some advice, right? But how do I explain the Phantom Crossbow Cannon? Damn it, just say it got wrecked. To save on teleportation costs, Da Fei first went to the inn to settle in the three lovely ladies. But the newcomer Anlicia wouldn¡¯t have it. She tugged at Da Fei¡¯s sleeve, pouted, and whined, ¡°No, no! It¡¯s no fun. I want to go to the human city with the Captain!¡± Damn it! Is this what¡¯s called a rebellious character? What a troublesome hero with such a personality! You¡¯re pouting at the wrong place¨Cpout at my mouth! With a laugh and a tear, Da Fei had no choice but to take her along. At level 20, she wasn¡¯t heavy; I could handle it. But thinking about her skillset, which was equally laughable, Da Fei felt troubled again. To say her expertise was like my grandmother¡¯s, her skills resembled my grandmother¡¯s too. The difference was, one was all grandmaster level, and the other was junior high and high school level¨Cclearly here to mess with me. There¡¯s no other way¨CI¡¯ll have to make her an Arcane Master first to fill the gap left by Grandma¡¯s departure. As for her position, it could only be the Sailing Captain, with my God-level skills backing her up. With a flash of white light from the teleportation array, Da Fei returned to the bustling Saint Anthony Port, the largest human port. As soon as Da Fei, a yellow-name figure, appeared, he became the center of attention, with the surrounding crowd erupting in shouts: ¡°Da Fei! It¡¯s Da Fei!¡± ¡°No kidding, he got a female Vice Hero after snatching a Female Hero from the Bloodrose Guild!¡± ¡°The Bloodrose Guild has been hunting him down, and he dares to come here?¡± ¡°Damn, he also killed several main members of Star, and Star hasn¡¯t even settled accounts with him yet.¡± ¡°I heard his ship is gone? Is it true?¡± Suddenly, the crowd swarmed around, encircling Da Fei tightly. As the largest human port, the number of people here was obviously more than in Elorin. Da Fei felt overwhelmed, thinking that onlookers also had power. But as the top player in the China Region, I certainly won¡¯t be a monkey for you all to watch! Want to watch, huh? Then I¡¯ll put on a show for you! Da Fei began waving to the crowd, like a leader. The crowd responded with hisses. Sure, they¡¯re not convinced by me! No matter, if you want to watch like this, I¡¯ll wave until you all get sick of it. Suddenly, Da Fei noticed a red dot suddenly appeared on the mini-map! A single red among a sea of green¨Cthe red dot stood out among the green dots representing onlookers on the radar! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but look in the direction of the red dot, and sure enough, he saw a red-named figure partially covering their head, looking at him from behind the crowd! Da Fei was startled¨Ca PK red name? No! The red dot on the radar indicated a hostile force or hostile monster! How could a hostile force enter the city? In his shock, the red dot disappeared from the radar! The red-named figure vanished from Da Fei¡¯s sight. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him. He vaguely saw that the half head just now displayed a name¡­Shenye? At this moment, the crowd swayed again, and the figure disappeared without a trace, leaving him unable to determine if it was a man or a woman or whether it was a player or NPC. Da Fei was suddenly shocked! What was the situation? Isn¡¯t it obvious? It must be that my God-level Reconnaissance Technique discovered a lurking hostile player! Da Fei had seen such situations before, like the suddenly exposed and disappeared Spider Hero in the Pool of Radiance. This indicated that the opponent¡¯s disguise skill was very high¨Ceven a God-level Reconnaissance Technique couldn¡¯t completely detect it. His (or her) name was ¡°Shenye¡±? Or was it just the first half of the name blocked by other players? Da Fei hurriedly activated the player friend function to search for ¡°Shenye,¡± but the system prompted no such person. It seemed it was only half a name. Clearly, the name was unimportant. What mattered was how such a hostile identity entered such a large human Main City. Wait! It¡¯s not like I¡¯ve never encountered this before. Isn¡¯t Makar one of them? And Makar¡¯s butler, too, right? That time when I temporarily upgraded to God-level after obtaining the Blood Eagle Flute, I pierced through the butler¡¯s vampire identity. Damn it! Could this Shenye also be a vampire? A vampire that could completely disguise as a human is not an ordinary vampire¨Cit¡¯d be a high-end vampire. Right, was that person male or female just now? If female, she might be a Banshee? A Banshee could disguise completely too? If there was a complete disguise, could it mix dual-race professions? A vampire taking part-time jobs as a Knight Priest on the human side? Possible, very possible! Didn¡¯t I take a side job as a Ranger? Anyway, this player must be quite formidable! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but sigh in admiration. The vastness of the China Region and the sheer number of Chinese players truly hid many dragons and crouching tigers. It seemed it was premature for me to declare myself the top in China. Since the opposing player is a formidable adversary, they¡¯re naturally my enemy¨CI must stay vigilant. It¡¯s not just about being vigilant; if the opponent really was a high-end vampire, they¡¯d be a formidable enemy! Undead and the Hell Race are different; the Hell Race is strong on land but weak at sea. The Undead are strong on land and equally formidable at sea. They have the overpowering vampire troops and the most irritating ghost troops! All of a sudden, a sense of crisis arose in Da Fei¡¯s mind. In short, I still have to keep working hard! At that moment, the patrolling city guards appeared and loudly dispersed the crowd blocking the road around Da Fei. Only then was Da Fei able to make his way to Makar¡¯s Duke¡¯s office. At the time, the entrance to the Duke¡¯s office was bustling, with mission officers standing near the guards while players competed to hand in their tasks. Needless to say, as a world-renowned Great Navigator, the Great Duke of the Lionheart Empire, the most powerful Grand Mage of humankind, and the Governor General of the New World, Makar wielded immense power. Players all wanted to gain a foothold under Makar, particularly among the large guilds. Having just been stimulated by the mysterious player, Da Fei felt uneasy and lost his composure. He ignored the curious glances from the surrounding players and pushed through the crowd to the guards: ¡°I want to see the Duke!¡± Seeing Da Fei, the guard immediately straightened up with respect: ¡°Oh, it¡¯s you, sir. Please, come right in!¡± Oh, yeah! The NPC guard said before that I don¡¯t visit without a reason. If he¡¯s letting me in, it must be something important¨Cindeed, I completed the task, and the Duke has something to say. Hahaha! Onward! Watching Da Fei, the yellow-named figure, swagger into the Duke Mansion, the players outside caused a stir: ¡°Da Fei can meet the Duke!¡± ¡°Damn! So elite!¡± ¡­ The ever-graceful vampire butler led the way again, and this time Da Fei dared not look at him as he glanced around. Apparently, this vampire butler has an anti-reconnaissance skill. On the contrary, Anlicia frowned, pinched her nose with one hand, and waved away an imaginary stench with the other. Da Fei asked softly, ¡°What¡¯s up?¡± Anlicia shook her head, ¡°It¡¯s hard to say.¡± Could it be that she can smell an undead¡¯s stench of rot? Even high-end undead vampires have a stench of rot? Of course, it¡¯s not the time to stir up trouble and create more complications. Da Fei said lightly, ¡°Then don¡¯t say it.¡± Yet Anlicia leaned close to Da Fei¡¯s ear and whispered, ¡°I¡¯m telling you, there¡¯s a strange rose scent on him, and it¡¯s not natural!¡± Damn it! I told you not to say it, but you insist. Everyone knows high-end vampires sleep in luxurious coffins filled with roses. Da Fei anxiously said, ¡°I don¡¯t understand¨Ccan you say it three more times?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Anlicia snorted, ¡°If you don¡¯t understand, so be it.¡± Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief, hoping her bad attitude wouldn¡¯t be a problem in battle. Another flash of the teleportation array, and he was back in the magic-lit grand library. A kind laughter echoed through the library, ¡°Welcome back victorious. You truly are my most outstanding student!¡± Oh yeah! Receiving me personally, I feel so honored, hahaha! (To be continued.

Chapter 199 - Chapter 199 Chapter 189 The First Commission of the Chamber of Chapter 199: Chapter 189: The First Commission of the Chamber of Commerce Chapter 199: Chapter 189: The First Commission of the Chamber of Commerce Another round of the same pleasantries I¡¯ve heard all day finally ended, and we got down to business. Makar stroked his beard and chuckled, ¡°Your performance this time was excellent. Being merely a Lieutenant isn¡¯t enough to showcase your abilities anymore. I¡¯m officially promoting you to Alliance Lieutenant. You can go to the Navy Headquarters to pick up your rank.¡± Oh yeah, promotion and skipping ranks, that¡¯s a must! A Lieutenant¡¯s Command Power is 300, comparable to a battalion-level officer. But my ship is too small to hold many troops, and I¡¯m not here for a title. Da Fei hurriedly saluted, ¡°Thank you, teacher, for the promotion. I will definitely live up to your expectations, contributing to the Empire and the Alliance. I have another matter I¡¯d like to seek your advice on.¡± Makar chuckled, ¡°Feel free to speak.¡± Da Fei then explained the situation, ¡°Report teacher, I have now become the president of the Elf Kingdom Elorin Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce, but this Dragon Cavalry Chamber has quite a big trouble¡­¡± Makar listened quietly to Da Fei¡¯s account, nodded, and said, ¡°Indeed, it¡¯s quite troublesome, because this trouble is far from as simple as you imagine.¡± As expected of the Great Duke, he knows a lot of insider information! Da Fei quickly said, ¡°Please enlighten me, teacher!¡± Makar said solemnly, ¡°Because the Dragon Cavalry Chamber stole the Sea Suppressing Divine Artifact Trident from the Sea God. To calm the Sea God¡¯s fury, the only way is to return the artifact. But obviously, compared to the value and utility of the Sea Suppressing Divine Artifact, the survival of a chamber of commerce isn¡¯t worth mentioning, so the Elf Kingdom won¡¯t return the artifact.¡± Indeed, we did something heinously wrong, and it wasn¡¯t just theft; it was a robbery! Da Fei was shocked, ¡°You¡¯re saying, as long as we don¡¯t return the artifact, no matter how hard I try, I can¡¯t shake off the curse?¡± Makar nodded, ¡°Perhaps, the will of gods is hard to fathom.¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°Does that mean I have to return the artifact the Elf Kingdom stole back to the Sea God?¡± Makar laughed heartily, ¡°If you truly have that ability, a small Dragon Cavalry Chamber would become insignificant.¡± Da Fei was taken aback! Right, if I could indeed compete with a kingdom, I wouldn¡¯t even care about a chamber of commerce, would I? Is this a dead end? Makar laughed again, ¡°However, maybe you can treat this chamber task as an opportunity to hone yourself. An excellent navigator grows continuously in perilous sea conditions.¡± Da Fei suddenly realized! Oh yeah! This task is definitely designed to level up my navigator skills, right? Even if the chamber of commerce fails, as long as I advance to Master-level Navigator, it¡¯s worth it! Da Fei hurriedly saluted, ¡°Teacher is absolutely right, but my boat is small and my skills are low. I might not last long. Please teach me some tricks, teacher!¡± Makar gave a wry smile, ¡°I mentioned last time, my fame as a navigator is overstated. Raising you to intermediate is my limit.¡± I don¡¯t believe it! You¡¯re just being modest! As a Master-level Special Soldier Training Master, it¡¯s impossible that your skills aren¡¯t superior. You must be at least a Master-level Navigator, and you, the Death Lord, aren¡¯t willing to pass on your skills to me! It¡¯s not easy to see you, but I must dig some skills out of you! Da Fei urgently said, ¡°So you can teach a Junior Navigator without any issues, right?¡± Makar coughed dryly, ¡°It depends on the situation.¡± Da Fei pulled Alicia beside him, ¡°No need to see, teacher, I have a navigator prospect here, please train her, so I have an assistant to help in difficult times.¡± Makar responded with an ¡°Oh,¡± then shook his head and said, ¡°A navigator isn¡¯t trained in a classroom; practical combat testing is needed. Even if I issue her a diploma, it¡¯s useless without experience.¡± A diploma is enough! Da Fei urgently said, ¡°No problem, teacher; practical combat is my specialty. After all, I am the man who ventured into the Abyss Blood Pool!¡± Makar¡¯s eyebrows jumped, and he nodded, ¡°Good! In that case, I¡¯ll issue a challenging task to your chamber. It¡¯s quite difficult and may cause you to shipwreck. Are you willing to accept it?¡± Well, typical system NPC behavior, no free lunch, benefits always come with tasks. Alright, I¡¯m not excited about this troublesome chamber, and it¡¯s better to dive in than worry about failure. Da Fei quickly said, ¡°Please assign the task, teacher!¡± Makar nodded, ¡°You should purchase Healing Medicine in Elorin and transport it to the Alliance Garrison Camp on North Sea Fire Dragon Island. The North Sea is far from subtropical regions, so even a god would find it hard to create storms. Thus, despite your small ship, you can go. But you will face threats from sea monsters, severe cold, and floating ice, which will test your capabilities.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Your chamber of commerce has received the task entrustment ¡®Deliver Medicine to Fire Dragon Island Garrison.¡¯ The entrustment difficulty is S-level. Do you accept? ¨CNovice Tip: Chamber of commerce task entrustments are divided by difficulty into SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, D-levels. D and C level tasks bear no risk, with C-level tasks generally taking longer. B-level tasks require players¡¯ chambers to have a certain level of armed self-defense, while A-level tasks require advanced navigation skills. S-level is the highest difficulty a player can accept solo, with SS-level and above appearing under epic storyline triggers, needing a nation¡¯s large troop power to complete, SSS-level potentially involving gods. The higher the task difficulty, the greater the chamber¡¯s reputation gain. Looking at a whole list of newbie tips, Da Fei felt a headache, ¡°Teacher, isn¡¯t this difficulty a bit much just for a Junior Navigator¡¯s test?¡± Makar stroked his beard and said calmly, ¡°It¡¯s not only a test for her; more importantly, it¡¯s a test for you. As my student, your current abilities are not enough for me to make full use of.¡± Da Fei said in surprise, ¡°Oh, that¡¯s the reason?¡± If I didn¡¯t know this guy was a Death Lord with probably ulterior motives, I¡¯d probably be so thrilled I¡¯d be rolling on the floor! Being utilized by the Duke, how envious and resentful would those players who can¡¯t even get past the Duke¡¯s Door feel? Hm, I must stay clear-headed! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei cleared his throat and said, ¡°Teacher, your task is S-level, but with my chamber being cursed by gods, wouldn¡¯t it become an SSS-level task involving deities? Shouldn¡¯t you sponsor your student some high-tech arms and equipment?¡± Makar¡¯s beard twitched, ¡°Back in the day, our Saint Anthony in the New World was chased by a God-level Sea Monster from the Red Coral Sea all the way to the Green Agate Sea, pursued for three days and nights, and then from the Green Agate Sea back to the Red Coral Sea, another three days and nights, blood flowing like rivers. Did anyone sponsor us? Did anyone still care if it was an SSS-level adventure or an S-level adventure? If you¡¯re scared, you can refuse the test; I have nothing else to teach you.¡± Well, that¡¯s just not fair! Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll accept! I¡¯m accepting this task!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have accepted the task commission ¡®Deliver Medicine to Fire Dragon Island Garrison¡¯ and received a commission certificate. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your vice-hero Alicia has begun the navigator test task.

Chapter 200 - Chapter 200 Chapter 190 Revenge of Bloodrose Studio Chapter 200: Chapter 190: Revenge of Bloodrose Studio Chapter 200: Chapter 190: Revenge of Bloodrose Studio The vampire butler reappeared just after the mission was released, ¡°Sir, an important guest has arrived.¡± The duke nodded and instructed Da Fei, ¡°The mission is tough, please make thorough cold-weather preparations before setting out. Escort the guest!¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. An important guest? Player or NPC? Hey, what kind of chaotic guest is more important than me? I still have a Phantom Crossbow Cannon and Special Soldier Training to exchange thoughts with you! Oh right, and we have Gru¡¯s hero legacy on the human side to discuss with you! The butler bowed and said, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, please!¡± It seemed there was no choice, the big shots were incredibly busy. It was already nice that they took the time to give me a Chamber of Commerce task. Plus, it¡¯s unlikely the same NPC would issue more than one task at the same time. It¡¯s time to escort the guest. Yet the thought of someone being called an ¡°important guest¡± in the Duke¡¯s residence for some inexplicable reason made Da Fei a bit displeased. Hopefully, it¡¯s not a player. Well, that¡¯s jealousy. Leaving the Duke Mansion, Da Fei reappeared on the bustling street. The queued players exclaimed again, ¡°Da Fei¡¯s out!¡± ¡°Clear the path ahead! Make way!¡± A crowd squeezed in from the back. ¡°Hey, hey, we¡¯re in for a show.¡± The queued players whispered among themselves and stepped aside. No need to guess, it had to be the Bloodrose Studio looking for trouble. Da Fei sighed silently. One must say, Da Fei¡¯s God-level Reconnaissance Technique, Master-level Crossbow Cannon, and Master-level Special Soldier Training were all centered around the banshee, leading to today¡¯s achievements. For the Bloodrose Studio, which contributed the Mother of Banshee, Deirdre, Da Fei felt somewhat, well, grateful and guilty. Of course, mainly because the other party were girls, and taking things from girls felt quite whatnot. In any case, let¡¯s see what they have to say. I now represent the image of the China Region, with a Chamber of Commerce and underlings. I emphasize persuading people with virtue. When I¡¯m well-off, I¡¯ll return a few banshees to them. If they don¡¯t like new banshees, they can do some trade runs for my chamber too, if they¡¯re not afraid of shipwrecks, hmm. Dozens of players squeezed in front, Da Fei was stunned, all men? Da Fei immediately understood, so that¡¯s how it was! The strength of the Beauty Guild often doesn¡¯t lie in the battle power of the beauties, but in their fan club, or to put it bluntly, how strong their husband group is! For example, in the Japan, the famous Beauty Team ¡°Sakura Group,¡± endorsed by celebrities, has an international reputation higher than that of the Mitsubishi Team. In the pre-open beta advertising campaign, the Sakura Group was immensely in the spotlight, and their fan club¡¯s combat power was incredibly fervent. ¡°Da Fei, right?¡± The player in silver armor and red cape, leading the crowd and named ¡°Rose Knight,¡± spoke coldly. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched! Rose Knight? Does that mean he¡¯s going to conquer all the women of Bloodrose? What a bold name! Under Da Fei¡¯s Reconnaissance Skill, the opponent¡¯s equipment was fully visible, a B-grade strategic treasure Lionheart Set! Although it didn¡¯t have the various anti-magic special skills of the Dwarf Set Asan gave to Deirdre, its attack and defense bonuses were explosive! Surely this was bought from the city¡¯s treasure shop, right? What a real tycoon! Damn! Indeed, everyone knows the high standards of the beauties in Bloodrose Studio. Average nerds don¡¯t even qualify to kneel and lick, those who can become husbands aren¡¯t ordinary rich and handsome dudes! And in today¡¯s setting where someone is obviously looking for trouble, the beauty players of Bloodrose definitely couldn¡¯t appear. Women, well, you can¡¯t help it, as soon as you¡¯re in a controversial situation, people start calling you all sorts of dirty names, ultimately affecting your image. Look, how considerate I am of the girl players! I¡¯m truly the real friend of women! Alright, those beauties all watch from behind, I¡¯ll let you witness my masculine grace and expert demeanor! Da Fei said casually, ¡°I¡¯m quite busy, if you want to PK, hurry up, but let me remind you, yellow names have human rights too, dare to make a move?¡± Rose Knight responded coldly, ¡°Just because you¡¯re a pile of shit doesn¡¯t mean others are afraid to step on you, doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re invincible. You¡¯re just a pile of dog shit, dare you to go to the arena!¡± The crowd immediately jeered, ¡°Look at you, such a big piece of shit, pretending to be a red name to scare people, but actually just a trash that doesn¡¯t dare to go to the arena!¡± Damn it! An anger welled up in Da Fei! Although their provocation was low-level, it was very effective! Especially for Da Fei, who was full of confidence in the early stages of his career, this was simply intolerable. Da Fei raised his pinky and said coldly, ¡°Such foul language, you must have low standards, when I slaughtered the Japanese and Americans, you must have been hiding in some cesspool. Alright, I¡¯ll beat you to pieces in the arena!¡± The crowd cheered, ¡°Let¡¯s go, arena, arena!¡± Meanwhile, inside Bloodrose Studio, cheers erupted as well! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Qiqi exclaimed, ¡°Look, look, Big Sister¡¯s Prince Charming Lin Tianhao is standing up for her!¡± Big Sister Zhou Qing huffed, ¡°What Prince Charming, what nonsense!¡± Everyone laughed, ¡°Yeah, yeah, what nonsense, who rides whom hasn¡¯t been figured out!¡± Big Sister Zhou Qing fumed, ¡°Shut up, all of you!¡± Everyone¡¯s heads shrank and silence reigned, but they continued to secretly communicate and make small moves. Soon, the street view of Saint Paul Port appeared on the big screen on the wall. Rose Knight¡¯s group and the infuriating Da Fei were striding towards the arena. The crowds on both sides of the street made way, while the city channel was in an uproar. Chapter 201 - Chapter 201 Chapter 190 Bloodrose Studios Revenge_2 Chapter 201: Chapter 190 Bloodrose Studio¡¯s Revenge_2 Chapter 201: Chapter 190 Bloodrose Studio¡¯s Revenge_2 The beauties in the studio whispered, ¡°What¡¯s that scumbag so smug about? Brother Tianhao will take him down!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate him. This scumbag completed the National War mission and is strutting around Elorin like a tyrant.¡± ¡°Then we must take him down!¡± ¡°Brother Tianhao, you got this!¡± At this moment, Zhou Qing clenched his fists, gritting his teeth and staring at the big screen with eyes full of frost! ¡­ Even though Da Fei was marching towards the arena with bravado, he started feeling nervous inside. Da Fei was fired up earlier. The opponents had come in numbers, and he hadn¡¯t looked closely. Now, Da Fei realized this guy had a Vice Hero too, masked, wearing a cloak, stepping on a Black Light hero aura. Race unknown, hero profession unknown! What hidden profession hero is this? The outfit looks like an assassin? Capable of Stealth and invisibility? My God-level Reconnaissance Skill should be able to spot him, right? But even if I spot him, I still need to win, right? Vice Hero Alicia might not be able to hold her own either. Not to mention the opponent¡¯s equipment advantage, totally outclassing mine. I only have a Spider Demon Armor worth mentioning; the rest is a mix of pirate leather armor. Reconnaissance Skill can only see the big equipment worn on the opponent, can¡¯t see the small items in the support slot, but they must be good too. Anyway, my double-job attribute point advantage is definitely offset by this top-tier set, especially since I¡¯m still a newcomer without 20 attribute points for not switching jobs. This tycoon isn¡¯t simple! Damn, anyone who has managed to become the husband of a lady in a big studio isn¡¯t simple. The more Da Fei thought, the worse he felt about the situation! Am I, the number one in the China Region, going to lose? He¡¯s leveraging fame and beauties to rise up! Such self-sacrificing good deeds, I¡¯d rather die than do. What to do? I still have 10 Skill Points, use them up? On what? Only on Attack Defense Skill. The problem is his equipment is too good. Even maxing out Attack Defense Skill might not help. Luck Skill? I have a Misfortune Hourglass! As long as I can create an 8, 9, 10-point luck gap, combining Alicia¡¯s high-speed running with long-range shooting, I can take him down guerrilla style! Exactly! Even though Alicia¡¯s skills aren¡¯t reliable, she¡¯s at least a ranger, the profession most fit for PK, focused on speed. Plus, I have a U.S. high-class Speed Cloak that can further boost her speed. In any case, Luck Skill is definitely useful. Da Fei no longer hesitated and pulled out the Skill Book! Golden lights flashed continuously! ¨CSystem Prompt: You spent 4 Skill Points and advanced your Luck Skill to Master Level! The golden light flashes from Da Fei immediately drew boos from the surrounding players. The Rose Knight sneered, ¡°Trash knows fear, huh? If you¡¯re scared, you don¡¯t have to go there. No one is stopping you here.¡± Da Fei said defiantly, ¡°I know your equipment is good, so I¡¯ll let you know I have many Skill Points too, don¡¯t envy me! I¡¯m just a legend.¡± The Rose Knight laughed heartily, ¡°A legendary pile of crap. No matter how you add points, you¡¯re going to lose!¡± Da Fei suffered no loss, ¡°You don¡¯t even match up to a pile of crap.¡± The Rose Knight replied coldly, ¡°We¡¯ll see!¡± Da Fei felt even more uncertain inside. Could this tycoon have a Divine Artifact? The entire Beauty Studio is behind him! What beauty supports me? Only her, right? Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but cast his gaze at Alicia beside him, looking around without the slightest tension. Ah, compared to real-life beauties, NPCs, no matter how good, are ultimately just inflatable dolls. Da Fei asked quietly, ¡°Later, I¡¯m going to duel with this guy who has an assassin. Can you handle this assassin?¡± Alicia laughed, ¡°That¡¯s not an assassin, alright!¡± Damn it! Whatever it is! But since you know what it is, does that mean you¡¯re confident? Da Fei eagerly asked, ¡°Are you confident?¡± Alicia laughed heartily, ¡°Not confident!¡± ¨CAh poof! Da Fei almost spat a mouthful of blood on her face! They reached the arena. The entire city was like a festival, countless players gathered from all directions. Damn, I know you¡¯re not here to cheer for me. Humph, whatever. If I lose, I¡¯ll say it¡¯s because his equipment is better! I can also say I let him win, I still have two Vice Heroes not on the field! Yeah, I let him win! The Rose Knight said with a smile, ¡°The room¡¯s set up, come on in!¡± The scene changed, Da Fei and the Rose Knight appeared in the center of an Ancient Roman Arena, then around in the splendid stands, countless white lights flashed like a frenzy of flashbulbs. Needless to say, players from across the city all entered to watch. The city¡¯s grand promotion quickly attracted game media reporters, all journalists eagerly crossing the Teleportation Array, rushing to the Saint Paul Arena. At this moment, both people in the arena tacitly didn¡¯t rush to fight. Hmm, waiting for more spectators to arrive. For the Rose Knight, just as Da Fei thought, it was a perfect opportunity to rise by stepping on a celebrity and win over beauties. But for Da Fei, ¡°the reigning champion,¡± whether win or lose, it was a chance to further increase his notoriety¨Cafter all, his reputation was already terrible; he might as well go for even more fame. Finally, amid the cheers of the crowd, the thoroughly enjoying Rose Knight formally requested a duel. ¨CArena Battle Report: The Rose Knight VS Da Fei¡¯s match officially begins!. The cheers were thunderous. Damn it, damn it, the scene is so massive, it¡¯s making me nervous! Come on, I don¡¯t believe you can take me down! In an instant, the Rose Knight¡¯s assassin Vice Hero moved, black light flashed in his hand, and a black mist enveloped over Da Fei and Alicia¡¯s heads, Da Fei¡¯s vision suddenly went black! ¨CSystem Prompt: You are affected by the Shadow Blinding Magic, you are in a blind and vision-loss state! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia is affected by the Shadow Blinding Magic, in a blind and vision-loss state! The entire arena was in an uproar, Da Fei was shocked! You¡¯ve got to be kidding! Blinding! And a complete blinding for all! One simple magic just nullified my God-level Reconnaissance Skill! No wonder he was so confidently sure of beating me! I¡¯m going to lose! Damn it! My long reputation! In his ear came the Rose Knight¡¯s loud laughter, ¡°Run! You can still run, right? Come on, audience friends, let¡¯s watch this Da Fei like a headless chicken running around looking for shit!¡± The whole arena burst into laughter. Da Fei was furious! Fine, fine, I¡¯ll admit defeat this time! Even if I lose, I¡¯ll lose with dignity, I¡¯ll stand still and wait for you to come kill! At that moment, two swift swoosh sounds reached Da Fei¡¯s ears! The sound of shooting arrows! Da Fei was suddenly startled, how are they shooting while blinded? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia launched ¡°Double Shot¡± at the Rose Knight¡¯s Vice Hero, causing -67, -30 damage. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia killed the Rose Knight¡¯s Vice Hero! The whole arena was in an uproar! Da Fei was ecstatic, blind shooting? Instant kill! Damn, the little girl actually has this special skill? She didn¡¯t, right? How did she do it? Haha, hahaha! (Something came up tonight unexpectedly, sorry for the delay) (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to Qidian (wuxiaworld.site) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

Chapter 202 - Chapter 202 Chapter 191 Anlicias Little Tricks Chapter 202: Chapter 191 Anlicia¡¯s Little Tricks Chapter 202: Chapter 191 Anlicia¡¯s Little Tricks ¡°The sudden collapse of the Rose Knight¡¯s vice hero shocked the entire audience. In the arena¡¯s spectator mode, the actions and spells of the duelists appeared as battle report information in the audience¡¯s info panel. When the Rose Knight¡¯s vice hero cast Blinding Magic, the whole crowd erupted in shock! Normally, Blinding is Master-level Dark Magic, a realm hard for ordinary players to reach. But this Shadow Blinding Magic was not recorded in any Magic Book¨Cwas it a personal skill of the vice hero? Or did the vice hero truly reach Master-level capability? If the Blinding Magic was used this early, the Rose Knight really would be the king of the arena! Amid the shocked voices of the crowd, the screams of the beauties behind the scenes of Bloodrose Studio, and the loud laughter of the Rose Knight ridiculing Da Fei, the vice hero of the Rose Knight became a dark shadow, silently and swiftly moving behind the blinded Anlicia. Yes, the assassin¡¯s cruel and effective one-hit kill skill, throat slit! And just as the assassin slowed slightly to turn, the Female Ranger suddenly pivoted¨Cwhoosh! whoosh! A Double Shot! At such close range, at such a strange timing, and with such an unexpected sneak attack, the assassin hero didn¡¯t have time to adjust his body, didn¡¯t even have time to react; he just watched wide-eyed as an arrow whistled toward him¨Chitting square in the chest! The whole audience exploded! No Dispel or Purification was performed, and the Blinding effect hadn¡¯t vanished; how was this Ranger able to counterattack so precisely? Blind shooting? At that moment, all the players and Da Fei had the same thought! But could there be a Blind Shooting skill in this game? Impossible! The most shocked of all was, without doubt, the Rose Knight, whose laughter came to an abrupt halt! ¡°How could this be? Why did this happen?¡± At this moment, staring at the Female Ranger readying another arrow to finish him, all he could do was charge through the firepower and try to slash her! If he could rush forward! ¨CArena Battle Report: Da Fei¡¯s vice hero launched ¡°Double Shot¡± at the Rose Knight, dealing -25, -28 damage! The crowd screamed! And Da Fei finally recovered from his shock. Though he didn¡¯t know what exactly happened, Anlicia must¡¯ve had a hidden skill to counter Blinding! Of course, it might have conditions or limitations, so what Da Fei needed to do now was mock and taunt to draw aggro. Da Fei laughed wildly, ¡°Hey hey hey! You lost without me taking a move or a step? You¡¯re worse than a piece of shit, even worse than a fart, aren¡¯t you? You can¡¯t be this weak, can you?¡± The whole audience burst into laughter! The Rose Knight was so furious that his veins bulged, wanting to immediately turn and slash this bastard, but he knew this was the opponent¡¯s trick, so he stayed the course and continued rushing toward the Ranger. Whoosh! Whoosh! Another two arrows! ¨CArena Battle Report: Da Fei¡¯s vice hero launched ¡°Double Shot¡± at the Rose Knight, dealing -26, -29 damage! The crowd boiled with excitement! Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat; even with a hundred health points gone, he wasn¡¯t dead yet? As expected of a tycoon with high defense and thick blood! No matter, beaten to this extent, even if Anlicia lost, Da Fei could still engage with a bayonet to finish off his low-health opponent. So Da Fei calmed down, stood with hands behind his back, and exuded the demeanor of a cool expert. Rangers were the best-suited profession for PK, with every high-level Ranger originating from the third-tier unit Jungle Hunter¨Cthey had such sharp firepower that it could overturn human understanding. In large-scale battlefields, any all-melee squad encountering the enemy¡¯s Jungle Hunter Unit would find themselves defeated and overrun! Therefore, in small-scale battles, the Elf Clan¡¯s position as the PK king was hard to shake. Of course, even then, they were powerless against the Universe-defying Undead. The Undead¡¯s first-level troops were Skeleton Archers with a built-in special skill: Hollow Skeleton, reducing ranged damage by 50 percent. It was a losing trade the Elf Clan couldn¡¯t afford. In sum, every spectator shared Da Fei¡¯s thought: even if the Rose Knight decapitated the Ranger, it was futile. After all, there was no Healing Hero available. He got in close! With gritted teeth, the Rose Knight took out a big red bottle and drank it down in one gulp. ¨CArena Battle Report: The Rose Knight used a Super Healing Potion, restoring all Life Value! Aagh! Da Fei, unable to maintain his calm, exclaimed, and the whole crowd booed! Damn, drinking a blood bottle in PK, and a big one costing thousands of Gold Coins each, truly a real tycoon! And then the Female Ranger moved! Her high-speed move quickly widened the gap between her and the Rose Knight, and then she turned and shot an arrow back! The audience became fanatical again! Normally, a Ranger kite-flying a melee opponent isn¡¯t much to watch, but the point of interest is that she¡¯s still in a blind state! How was she hitting without missing? Now, the outcome was decided, without suspense. Da Fei¡¯s hanging heart finally settled, and now it was his turn to flaunt his superiority! Da Fei sighed long and said, ¡°I thought anyone daring to challenge me must have some skills, but with standards like this, you¡¯re just joking with me. How busy must I be to waste time with an idiot like you?¡± His words sent the audience into uproarious laughter. And just at that moment, a rainbow light fittingly appeared above Anlicia¡¯s head, oh yeah, luck was triggered! It felt as if Da Fei could control luck any time he wanted, ha ha ha! ¨CArena Battle Report: Da Fei¡¯s vice hero triggered a luck effect, launched ¡°Double Shot¡± at the Rose Knight, dealing -60, -60 damage! The Rose Knight was defeated! ¨CArena Battle Report: The match ended, Da Fei won the match. The whole crowd booed. Perhaps due to dissatisfaction with Da Fei¡¯s victory or perhaps as a mockery of the Rose Knight¡¯s incompetence. Yes, as an expert, one must have the demeanor of an expert; I represent the image of the China Region, and this battle will surely be studied by foreign experts, yes? Take your time analyzing, even I don¡¯t know what happened, let alone you. Da Fei waved to the audience, ¡°Sorry for wasting everyone¡¯s time; everyone, carry on with your own stuff.¡± Then, not looking back at the Rose Knight on the ground once, Da Fei left the arena. Yes, the ultimate form of disdain is ignoring, trying to step on me? I will die laughing at you, ha ha ha! Bloodrose Studio was dead silent. Mr. Lin had been pursuing the studio¡¯s leader not just for a day or two, flaunting every possible skill, currying favor, and giving gifts to the beauties in the studio, winning their favor. If it had been the ordinary beauties in the studio, their hearts would surely have fallen. His strength in the game was also something everyone acknowledged¨Cstrong and very strong! Even when placed on the world stage of professionals, he was not to be underestimated. But now, he lost¨Clost in a way so inexplicable, lost in such a humiliating manner. The studio¡¯s leader, Zhou Qing, coldly said, ¡°What are you all dazed for? Get to work!¡± In no time, the group of women were coughing awkwardly and returned to their places. However, they were still doing small actions in private, taking the opportunity to send their comforting messages to Mr. Lin. Although for some reason, the leader wasn¡¯t interested in him, the ordinary beauties had long secretly promised their hearts. When else to make a move if not now? Of course, they didn¡¯t know that their comforting messages, in the extremely angry and unwilling eyes of the Rose Knight, became a form of sympathy and pity, only adding fuel to the fire, making the Rose Knight¡¯s anger burn a hundred times stronger: ¡°Da Fei! You damned trash! I swear if I don¡¯t crush you, I¡¯m not named Lin!!!¡± . . . As soon as he got outside, Da Fei couldn¡¯t wait to probe Anlicia¡¯s true strength. Da Fei chuckled and asked, ¡°How were you able to counterattack while blinded just now?¡± Anlicia snorted, raising her chin high, ¡°Hmph, not telling you!¡± Petulant! Da Fei smirked, ¡°Hmph, just a little trick. No need to say it.¡± Anlicia glared and said, ¡°A little trick can counter a big skill¨Cthat¡¯s good enough. Didn¡¯t your God-level Skills easily fall apart with one blind attack?¡± Hey hey, what¡¯s all this ¡°you¡± and ¡°your,¡± call me Captain! Could it really be a little trick? Da Fei became even more curious, ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t ask.¡± But Anlicia did lean close and whispered in Da Fei¡¯s ear smugly, ¡°I¡¯ll tell you, I placed two Little Honeys on them ahead of time! No matter if they go invisible, get blinded, release fog, or use Illusion Techniques, I can pinpoint their positions!¡± With that, she proudly unveiled her palm, revealing two Demon Bees buzzing around. Da Fei¡¯s eyes widened in surprise, ¡°This is a Divine Skill, isn¡¯t it?¡± Anlicia smiled even more triumphantly, ¡°Ice Fruit! One bee breaks all illusions! My grandma used to trick me with illusion techniques, but I broke them easily with a little bee! So, I never studied those magics again, they have no depth¨C¡± As she spoke, Anlicia¡¯s expression suddenly darkened. Da Fei coughed lightly and said, ¡°You can¡¯t devalue other people¡¯s magic just because you can easily break it; your grandma had good intentions.¡± Anlicia, eyes red, sighed, ¡°Sadly, I was so ignorant back then. . .¡± Da Fei quickly patted her back to comfort her, ¡°It¡¯s okay, you¡¯ve still got me, we¡¯ll learn together and improve together. . .¡± Anlicia nodded, ¡°I will definitely develop my own skills! I won¡¯t let grandma down!¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°Or course, of course!¡± Grandma up in Heaven, please rest assured, Anlicia¡¯s back feels so nice to touch! Ha ha ha! . . . Under the gaze of players all over town, Da Fei swaggered towards Navy Headquarters to receive his Military Rank. A friend notification chimed, naturally, it was Invincible Soldier, ever the flatterer. ¡°Brother Fei, awesome! Brother Fei, mighty!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Ha ha ha! Even the little ones knew! But seriously, can you flatter properly? Da Fei snapped, ¡°Squashing a clown is no great victory; it¡¯s a waste of my time! You all should focus on grinding Reputation Points. Don¡¯t waste time and energy on trivial matters, understand?¡± Da Bing hurriedly replied, ¡°Brother Fei is right, I know I was wrong, we are working on on gaining Reputation Points!¡± Satisfied, Da Fei said, ¡°I need to sail out once, which might take a long time; when I¡¯m back, I¡¯ll check your progress, and if it¡¯s not done, you¡¯ll all be cutting off JJ!¡± ¡°Yes, yes, Brother Fei, rest assured!¡± Ha ha ha! How pleasurable! Why did I feel so delighted? Is stomping on others the source of true happiness? No wonder many enjoy stepping on others so much; this isn¡¯t good morally¨Cit¡¯s an illness that needs curing, ha ha ha! (To be continued.

Chapter 203 - Chapter 203 Chapter 192 Preparations Before Traveling Chapter 203: Chapter 192: Preparations Before Traveling Chapter 203: Chapter 192: Preparations Before Traveling Navy Headquarters, it was still the same overweight officer, but his attitude was completely different now. He respectfully presented the new Military Rank insignia to Da Fei, with a beaming smile saying, ¡°Your Excellency truly is the pride of our Alliance, I look forward to you making even greater contributions in a higher position!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have received the Alliance Lieutenant Military Rank insignia, your Command Power +300. Note: Military Rank Command Power is a fixed value and is not affected by treasures or skills. Getting promoted is ultimately a good thing, Da Fei didn¡¯t dwell on the past, and he chuckled, ¡°I still have to thank the officer for his strict admonishments back then!¡± The overweight officer laughed even more brightly: ¡°Ordinary military training couldn¡¯t bring out your abilities, I have high hopes for you.¡± This fatty sure talks a lot, well, it¡¯s necessary, going through Makar¡¯s apprenticeship test has indeed changed my status. Since his intention to ingratiate himself is clear, I might as well test him. Da Fei inquired, ¡°Does the officer know what to pay attention to when stationed at Fire Dragon Island?¡± ¡°Fire Dragon Island?¡± The fat man paused, and then immediately spread out the map on the table, his finger tracing northward to begin searching. Damn it, searching for what? Failing geography, that¡¯s a negative review! Generally speaking, the terrain of the Hero Continent in various parts of the world bears a slight resemblance to the real-world map of Europe and Asia. The Human-ruled Lionheart Empire occupies the ¡°Central Europe¡± surrounded by mountains, also known as the ¡°Middle-earth¡± often featured in fantasy works, backed by the sea, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a vast expanse of fertile pastoral scenery in the middle. North of the mountain range at the border of the Lionheart Empire lies a vast forest, which is the territory of the Elf Kingdom, roughly corresponding to the location of Poland and Germany. Meanwhile, on the overseas Mainland, there is the territory of the high elves, located similar to England in Europe, always playing the role of a secluded utopia. North of the forests of the Elf Kingdom are the vast snowy mountains, rich in various minerals, the territory of the dwarfs, much like Northern Europe. The vast steppes in the ¡°Eastern Europe¡± region are the territory of the Beastmen. Of course, there are primordial forests, but even the Beastmen themselves dare not enter those. The Undead¡¯s location is much like the Turkish Peninsula in Europe on the bottom right, separated by a mountain from the Human Empire, constantly in fierce battle. The maritime operations of the Undead are also developed, since many of the Undead were skillful sailors when alive. As for the Hell Race, as mentioned earlier, they do not hold territories in the Hero Continent, playing a different game. Then, across the sea, akin to Africa, lies a vast desert and barbaric land, which is the territory of the Mage Academy. The mages are keen on alchemy and creation; they are atheists because they believe themselves to be gods. This barbaric land has become the ¡°nuclear¡± testing ground for the mages, a monster breeding field. This is where players level up after reaching level 50. This roughly outlines the geopolitical landscape of the Hero Continent. In short, the Bright Alliance occupies the rich ¡°Europe,¡± and the suffering Beastmen and Undead are greatly dissatisfied. ¡­¡­ Now, the fat officer¡¯s finger stopped on a map at a location corresponding to Iceland up north: ¡°This here is Fire Dragon Island! It takes a month to sail here from the Elf Kingdom!¡± A month! Three days in real time! A round trip is a week! Da Fei is devastated! There¡¯s no way around it, until the players¡¯ territories are built, sailing is the most profitable industry in the early to mid-game. But the most profitable comes with the most frustrating limits, sailing is destined to be boring and lengthy. But no matter, a lot of players will turn to piracy during the public test, making sailing more interesting and lively, just more frustrating. But no worries, with Catherine¡¯s Master-level Navigation Skill along with being a naval family, it should relieve a lot. The overweight officer sighed, ¡°Fire Dragon Island is the legendary place where the Evil Dragon is sealed. Although we have never seen it, the Alliance still has a battalion of a thousand troops stationed there all year round. It¡¯s very cold here, with a 10-month Ice Sealing Period each year, and it¡¯s hard for supplies to reach by sea, so life is very tough for the soldiers stationed on the island. But departing this season is just right, so if Your Excellency could provide them with some urgently needed supplies, they will be very grateful.¡± Anlicia, who was by the side, also couldn¡¯t help sighing, ¡°They have it tough.¡± The overweight officer laughed heartily, ¡°Well, that¡¯s the duty of a soldier!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitch! Extra supplies urgently needed? Wait a minute! Does that mean they need more than just Healing Medicine? Think about it, a bunch of soldiers, squatting in the freezing cold every day, unable to watch TV or go online, how would you survive? Holy crap! I should enrich the spiritual and entertainment life of the soldiers! All sorts of tasty and fun stuff should all be brought to them! Right, as a pro, one should dig deeper into the limited mission information available! Did I struggle for a month in the game just to earn that bit of fixed salary from the task commission? Ridiculous! I want to maximize the benefits of the task! To confirm his thoughts, Da Fei hurriedly asked, ¡°May I ask, sir, what else do the soldiers on the island need? How much is needed in total?¡± The chubby officer laughed and said, ¡°That¡¯s hard to say clearly, you know, being soldiers, they mostly drink, play cards, play chess, and those with a bit more culture read books. As for the quantity, a thousand-man group, neither too much nor too little, just give whatever you feel like.¡± So that¡¯s it! It means I need to buy entertainment supplies! Da Fei said excitedly, ¡°Is there anything else I need to be aware of? Please don¡¯t hesitate to instruct me, sir.¡± The chubby officer sighed, ¡°Of course, the journey is very dangerous. The North Sea hosts many mythological-era monsters, you must be careful to avoid them, especially the Sea Demons, encountering them would mean doom. Other than that, there¡¯s not much else to say, you can go ask the local fishermen.¡± Da Fei tensed up inside, truly a S-level task! Totally a trap! The chubby officer smiled, ¡°Alright, I need to go and inspect the troops now, I wish you a smooth journey!¡± Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Thank you for your guidance, sir.¡± ¡­ Now that I¡¯ve inquired all I could, it¡¯s time to return to Elorin to purchase supplies in large quantities. But there are still two problems, my ship only has 300 holds! It can¡¯t really carry much at all. Second, how can I ensure a smooth arrival? Do I really trust my luck and strength to drive a little boat straight into danger like an idiot? That kind of person really isn¡¯t cut out for great things! For a moment, Da Fei fell into deep thought. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only If, it were not a game, but a real-life situation where failure is not an option, what would I do? Probably nine out of ten people would tell you, subcontract the work! That¡¯s right! This embodies the deeply ingrained Chinese contractor spirit, a concept that reflects the unique wisdom of the Chinese people, and has created the ¡°Chinese speed¡± on the world¡¯s toughest job sites that astonishes foreigners! If you can¡¯t do it yourself, leave it to someone who can! Elorin is a big seaport, right? There must be navigators in Elorin, right? Even if there are no navigators or they are not at home because they are at sea, there must be many ¡°local fishermen¡± in Elorin, right? I should be able to find people willing to go to Fire Dragon Island with me, right? Exactly, the cargo I can¡¯t transport by myself, I¡¯ll call them to help transport! The monsters I can¡¯t beat, I¡¯ll call them to help fight! And to achieve this, one must rely on power! I don¡¯t have power, but the mayor does! (To be continued.

Chapter 204 - Chapter 204 Chapter 193 Moon God Night Chapter 204: Chapter 193 Moon God Night Chapter 204: Chapter 193 Moon God Night When Da Fei was still at the Navy Headquarters talking to the portly officer, the sensational video of his arena battle had already been posted online, instantly attracting numerous clicks and eyeballs. Da Fei, the scammer of the national service, a celebrity of the National War, his every move began to attract the attention of players and the media. Why is he still a rookie? Why does he have so many female heroes? Why is he so strong? Did his ship really sink? Everything about him was so mysterious and so intriguing. And many veteran players also commented that years ago, there was also a person named Da Fei in the online gaming circle, could it be the same person? At this moment, inside Makar¡¯s Magic Study Room. A female player clad in silver armor and standing upon a golden Knight Aura quietly waited for Makar to craft equipment for her. Her name was Moon God Night. She was the player who had a fleeting connection with Da Fei amidst the sea of people. Indeed, Moon God Night was of a high caliber; on the surface, she was a human Female Knight, but actually, she was a vampire¨Ca dual-class! At this moment, she was also scrolling through the forums to pass time, and naturally, she watched Da Fei¡¯s video on the forum, which made her mood turn very sour. Da Fei, a name she deeply loathed and despised. Several years ago in China, there was a relatively small Dragon Ascension Game Company, which put all its efforts into developing a follow-up game called ¡°Empire¡±. They even spent a lot of money to hire the then biggest Dragon Slayer Guild from China for publicity. If everything had gone as planned, even if the game¡¯s market prospects wouldn¡¯t have been sensational, it would have still been manageable. But then, a person named Da Fei appeared in the game, and both ¡°Empire¡± and ¡°Dragon Slayer¡± turned into jokes of the industry. Dragon Slayer Guild didn¡¯t mind, they could fall and rise again. But Dragon Ascension Company couldn¡¯t; after falling, they were kicked while down by competitors who poached their staff, and they never rose again. The boss of Dragon Ascension, exhausted by the ordeal, died in the hospital after a chronic illness flared up, sold the company to invest in real estate, and never regained the ambition to rise again, living an early life filled with mundanity and leisure, like keeping birds and practicing Tai Chi. And Moon God Night was the daughter of the boss of Dragon Ascension. That year, she was 22 years old, just having graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ready to inherit her father¡¯s business and showcase her talent, but then this disaster struck! The sudden blow inflicted deep wounds on her fragile, proud spirit. Since then, Moon God Night relied on her father¡¯s investments in real estate, becoming a landlady, a bored woman perpetually feasting and idly playing games online. She was talented, but her skills were useless. She was proud and refused to live under someone¡¯s hold. She was beautiful, but admired only by herself. She was aloof and disdainful towards men. She was solitary, keeping away from friends. She had a dark psyche, longing for chaos in the world. She had a twisted soul, cynically observing the world¡¯s grief. She was paranoid, seeing through the conspiracies of the world. She was almost thirty, neglecting sleep for games! No, she certainly wasn¡¯t just playing games! Unhappy with the idle life of a landlady, no¨Cit wasn¡¯t just dissatisfaction, it was hatred! She also vehemently disagreed with her father¡¯s suggestion to shift her focus towards real estate. Technology! Only technology is the driving force of human progress, not real estate! When war erupts, real estate is meant to be destroyed! When comets strike the Earth, real estate is meant to be destroyed! When Godzilla invades Earth, real estate is meant for destruction! When aliens invade Earth, real estate is meant for destruction! Real estate is the root of a decaying society! It is the soil where despair breeds, the original sin! She would never side with real estate, although her current worry-free life is completely due to real estate. She wants to make a difference! She wants to realize her own value! That is to slay gods! To slay the gods in Heroic Creation Era! Well, here is the thing. Heroic Creation Era is a game where the United States provides the core technology, developed in partnership with multiple countries for civilian use from military technologies, with the purpose of earning money together. So, do you believe that the United States would really be so kind as not to embed some hacker programs in the game to steal secrets from users worldwide? The belief that the United States continues to control the world is unyielding, and their intent to destroy us never dies, at least the cynical Moon God Night doesn¡¯t believe so. In fact, during her studies in the United States, Moon God Night also participated in some script writing as a volunteer assistant, but she didn¡¯t know exactly what these scripts were for. Now looking back, those must have been part of the pre-production for Heroic Creation Era! Why so? If it was military technology, students could not participate. Since students were involved, why not openly declare it? Such a mystery must involve a conspiracy! In any case, Moon God Night neurotically believes that the hacker program is deeply hidden in the game, and it exists in the form of a super BOSS, which very likely is the god of the New World! This god would stealthily steal information from users worldwide. Moon God Night¡¯s goal is to kill, or more precisely, ¡°capture¡± this god! Because this god is none other than the operational core of Heroic Creation Era! Yes, even though this game was developed in partnership with multiple countries, the core technology is still firmly in the hands of the United States. What does it mean to acquire the highest core technology of the United States? Going forward, it can be sold to the country to fulfill the dream of a strong China. Retreating, one could start their own knockoff company. The implications are profound! So, how to steal it? Moon God Night uses game helmets available on the market, modifies them, and implants hacking codes, then connects to the game consoles sold by Dragon Ascension Company. Once the timing is right, she can use the powerful computing power of the Dragon Ascension console to infiltrate¨Cin a nutshell, what players can understand as her creating a very high-end, low-profile luxurious plug-in with profound implications! This plug-in can only be used once! What if it fails? If it fails, then it fails, just keep playing, keep being a landlord, and when in a good mood, just casually marry a billionaire who is tall, rich, and handsome. Actually, Moon God Night really enjoys her current gaming life, because this game is truly more interesting than any previous game. Even if her father¡¯s Dragon Ascension Company does not go bankrupt, it would still fail in front of this game. ¡­ Demon Light flashes, and Makar appears again. Finally, it¡¯s done! Moon God Night feels a surge of spirit. ¡ª System Prompt: You have received the repaired ¡°Netherworld Ring¡±! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª Netherworld Ring: S-level strategic treasure, quest item. Enemy Morale -1, Enemy Speed reduced by 1%. He strokes his beard satisfactorily: ¡°You did very well, what you need to do now is continue to kill more Undead, absorb more souls, so this ring will gradually return to its full state.¡± Moon God Night indifferently asks, ¡°Can you tell me where the Netherworld Wand is?¡± Makar shakes his head, ¡°No, that would alarm related forces. Right now, you are not the most outstanding hero; there¡¯s much you need to work on, you may leave now.¡± ¡°Tch!¡± Moon God Night has a vague guess who the most outstanding hero is, and leaves the hall without turning her head back.

Chapter 205 - Chapter 205 Chapter 194 Group Outing to Sea Chapter 205: Chapter 194: Group Outing to Sea Chapter 205: Chapter 194: Group Outing to Sea Elorin City Hall. Da Fei requested to see Mayor Auseliman to state his purpose, ¡°Sir, our Chamber of Commerce has received the first commission from Duke Markar. If we succeed, it will be a great start; so not only can we not fail, but we also have to do better! Our Chamber of Commerce is an established company in Elorin, urgently needing your full support during this revival stage, so I can only ask for your assistance.¡± Auseliman let out a small sound of acknowledgment, ¡°You mean you hope I will dispatch a naval escort?¡± Is there really such a favor? Da Fei eagerly said, ¡°If that¡¯s the case, even better! If the navy¡¯s cargo hold is large enough to carry some goods for me, that would be ideal!¡± Auseliman shook his head, ¡°That¡¯s impossible! Unless your mission commission involves significant national security interests, the military will not be dispatched, and you can refer to the Chamber¡¯s commission level requirement for this.¡± So there really isn¡¯t such a favor. In other words, only under an Epic Mission context with an SS-level commission is it possible to deploy NPC troops, right? Auseliman continued, ¡°Moreover, the Dragon Cavalry Chamber¡¯s reputation is too low to have a mercenary fleet escort, and of course, you don¡¯t have the money to hire a mercenary fleet, so I¡¯m truly unable to help. You should believe in your own abilities.¡± The official route really doesn¡¯t work. Da Fei quickly replied, ¡°Then, can you help me find someone who is willing to accompany me? I¡¯m hoping there¡¯s a navigator or experienced fisherman in town willing to go with me.¡± Auseliman chuckled, ¡°Fire Dragon Island is a very dangerous place. As the mayor, I don¡¯t have the authority to send citizens into danger. I¡¯ll give you the addresses of two people; you go visit them yourself to see if you can persuade them. Of course, don¡¯t say I gave you the addresses.¡± ¡ª System Prompt: You obtained information about Navigator Coltner. ¡ª System Prompt: You obtained information about Whale Hunter Spielberg. Indeed, Elorin has a navigator! Speaking of which, didn¡¯t I need to interact with other navigators to learn new skills? Da Fei eagerly responded, ¡°Thank you, sir. Do you know what these two are interested in so I can prepare a meeting gift?¡± Auseliman shook his head, smiling, ¡°Their interests are of course navigating and whaling! I¡¯ll give you a hint: near Fire Dragon Island, there are very fierce narwhals, and their tusks are extremely valuable; however, Spielberg can¡¯t handle this alone. If you promise to help, he might be willing to take a gamble. Alright, I have a meeting, wish you a safe journey!¡± Da Fei quickly replied, ¡°Thank you, sir.¡± Ah, the mayor could only help me this much. In the end, a game is just a game. ¡­ Da Fei left the city hall and first headed to the dock where Whale Hunter Spielberg was located. Along the way, the way players looked at Da Fei had changed again. Needless to say, after the big fight in Saint Paul, I surprised quite a few people. Yes, a big ship bullies, and people refuse. Only arena duels are the weapon of truly convincing people with virtue! Da Fei¡¯s communicator buzzed. A look revealed it was Invincible Soldier: ¡°Brother Fei, we¡¯re busy boosting our reputation and can¡¯t come to pick you up!¡± Yes, nice! Sure, flattery one must know how to use it, but first, things must be done; Da Fei replied satisfied, ¡°Keep up the good work!¡± ¡°Got it, Brother Fei!¡± Da Fei found Spielberg¡¯s whaling ship in the fishing port¡¯s loading dock. My word! Its size was not inferior to my Flying! Yes, small and medium ships are courting death if they dare to go whaling. The whaling ship is designed for whales, and its cargo hold is definitely spacious, loaded up with goods would be lucrative. However, someone who runs a big ship must be like me ¡ª cool, dazzling, arrogant, unyielding; probably not easy to talk to. They do big deals not something money alone can persuade, especially since I don¡¯t have much money. What to do? Da Fei stood staring at the whaling ship, contemplating a strategy when a harpoon cannon at the bow of the ship caught his eye! Da Fei¡¯s brows jumped! This fish cannon is basically a crossbow cannon, right? The difference is that it shoots a harpoon tied with a rope! Damn! This can be classified as a Special Crossbow Cannon, right? And whales are sea monsters, isn¡¯t this fish cannon a sea monster nemesis? The crucial point is that its mount is very modern, at the bow of the ship! Unlike the Flying¡¯s old-fashioned sailing ship, where the cannons are at the side ¡ª launching an attack requires side position, which is extremely inconvenient! This is the unique strength of a whaling ship! At the sight of new ships and new cannons, as a high-end player, Da Fei inevitably let his imagination run wild. In any case, by any means necessary, I must fool him into joining the trip, then find a way to cultivate a good relationship, acquire the new ship and new cannon! Under a sailor¡¯s guidance, Da Fei found a bearded, burly man ¡ª Spielberg ¡ª drinking in a tavern, who was a human NPC. ¡°Looking for me?¡± Spielberg looked at him with bleary, indifferent eyes, showing no trace of delight at meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land. Da Fei came straight to the point, ¡°Indeed, I have long admired you as a local celebrity, and I wanted to invite you to come with me to Fire Dragon Island; I am sure you¡¯ll be interested in the narwhals there.¡± Spielberg coldly smirked, ¡°I¡¯m interested, but why should I go with you?¡± Da Fei quickly replied, ¡°I can help you hunt whales; I imagine you will need assistance.¡± Spielberg disdainfully said, ¡°Kid, what do you have to help me with?¡± Hey, hey, hey, I am a victorious warrior back from a triumphant journey! Let¡¯s show you the real deal! Da Fei took out a Skill Book of War Machine Science, ¡°I am a Master-level in War Machine Science, able to operate two crossbow cannons simultaneously!¡± After speaking, he waved the book, its golden light flashing! ¡ª System Prompt: You spent one Skill Point learning the sub-skill ¡°Mechanical Reinforcement¡± of the Grandmaster War Machine Science. ¡ª Mechanical Reinforcement: Enhances a war machine stationed position. Prerequisite: Master-level War Machine Science. Spielberg was indeed taken aback, ¡°You¡¯re already proficient in Master-level Crossbow Cannon at such a young age!¡± Oh? Crossbow Cannon is indeed the hardest Grandmaster to master, right? Da Fei laughed, ¡°Although the power is still not as strong as yours, I am confident I am much stronger than ordinary gunners, more than capable of a temp job in your gun cabin. Moreover, I have God-level Reconnaissance Skill, able to assist you in easily locating targets!¡± ¡°God-level Reconnaissance Skill!¡± Spielberg widened his eyes in shock! ¡°Right!¡± Da Fei suddenly remembered something, taking out a blueprint for a new telescope over crossbow cannon, which was a system reward after successfully training a banshee: ¡°Maybe I can also help you improve your fish cannon to make it more accurate for whaling!¡± In fact, the so-called new crossbow cannon was just a regular crossbow cannon with an additional telescope as an assembly part; of course, it would only be recognized by the system with the blueprint. Da Fei¡¯s aim in proposing fish cannon improvements was certainly to see if he could seize the opportunity to get the fish cannon manufacturing method. Spielberg suddenly stood up, patted Da Fei¡¯s shoulder, and laughed heartily, ¡°Indeed, you are the recent talk of the town and are truly capable. Now tell me, what do you need help with?¡± Oh yeah! Halfway there! Da Fei laughed, ¡°Very simple, I want to borrow your large cabin to transport goods to Fire Dragon Island!¡± Spielberg laughed heartily, ¡°No problem, it¡¯s an empty cabin when we depart anyway, just fill it up for you! Let¡¯s hurry and set off; Fire Dragon Island has just been unlocked, we¡¯ll miss out if we¡¯re late.¡± Oh yeah! Everything is resolved! Having secured the first person, the second is sure to follow! Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Thank you, sir. To ensure safe travel, I also want to invite Navigator Coltner of this city; could you join me in inviting him?¡± Haha, having an additional heavyweight companion will significantly reduce the difficulty of the invitation! Spielberg laughed heartily, ¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯d like to meet him too ¡ª let¡¯s all go together.¡± Da Fei sighed with emotions; after all, meeting a fellow countryman in a foreign land is ultimately fulfilling. Once acquainted, they¡¯re actually quite good to talk to. Damn, they must be reasonable! Who am I? Markar¡¯s darling, even the fat officer cozies up to me! ¡­ Da Fei and company found Coltner¡¯s house outside the city, a luxurious manor. Damn, navigators truly are wealthy! Guided by a servant, a thin elf elder met us, ¡°I am Coltner, are you the famous Mr. Da Fei from the city?¡± Oh my, even fame has spread outside the city! Da Fei laughed, ¡°That¡¯s me, pleasure to meet a senior!¡± Coltner smiled, ¡°It¡¯s been hundreds of years, and the Alliance has not seen such a young and talented person as you. I really admire you, and hope this small insight of mine can be of help to you.¡± ¡ª System Prompt: Navigator Coltner has given you ¡°Skill Insights of Wave Resistance¡±! Spend one Skill Point to learn Wave Resistance. ¡ª Wave Resistance: A Navigator¡¯s sub-skill, a skilled navigator can not only reduce the damage of huge waves to the ship but also utilize the power of the swell to further increase the ship¡¯s speed. Damn, I got a skill! This is what communication between navigators should be like! Decided, every place I go, I have to tap my connections to find the local navigators! Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°Thank you, senior!¡± Coltner shook his head with a smile, ¡°I understand your purpose, but I¡¯m old and can¡¯t go to sea!¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. Coltner continued to smile, ¡°But I have an impolite request. Can you take my grandson on a voyage? He is a novice. Although I wish to teach hands-on, alas, I¡¯m already too old.¡± He has a grandson! Not a granddaughter? Damn, not a party ship, right? I need a ship, not an extra mouth to feed! Da Fei clears his throat, ¡°By the way, do they have a large ship?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Coltner bitterly smiled, ¡°For such a dangerous place, a large ship is necessary to compensate for his lack of technique.¡± Da Fei was overjoyed, ¡°Good, good! As long as there¡¯s a large ship!¡± As expected of a ship¡¯s second generation, the starting point is different. No, a ship¡¯s third generation, wahaha! ¡ª System Prompt: You accepted the task ¡°Training Apprentice Navigator Little Coltner¡±! You received Coltner¡¯s support of 10,000 Gold Coins. ¡ª Task Prompt: Train Little Coltner to become a formal navigator, and Little Coltner must not be killed. Note: If the task fails, your reputation in Elorin will drop to ¡°Untrustworthy¡±! Ah, pft! Apprentice Navigator! Damn, wealth doesn¡¯t last three generations, saddling me with a burden! Fine! After all, this trip is also to train Anlicia; considering the elder¡¯s 10,000 Gold Coins, I¡¯ll buy one, get one free, train them all. I was worried I wouldn¡¯t have enough cargo for the ships I was saying. (To be continued.

Chapter 206 - Chapter 206 Chapter 195 No One Is Allowed to Sell to Him Chapter 206: Chapter 195: No One Is Allowed to Sell to Him Chapter 206: Chapter 195: No One Is Allowed to Sell to Him Little Coltner wasn¡¯t home, so Old Coltner had a servant accompany Da Fei back to the city to find him and bring him to Da Fei. After the carriage entered the city, it stopped in front of the entrance of a luxurious club, where the servant hopped down from the coachman¡¯s seat to bow and said, ¡°Please wait here, gentlemen, I will call the young master out immediately.¡± Looking at the club shining with golden glamour, Da Fei was so dazzled that he nodded repeatedly, then turned to the equally shocked Spielberg beside him and asked, ¡°Sir, do you know what place that is?¡± Spielberg licked his lips and cleared his throat before saying, ¡°Of course, it¡¯s the place that men love most! But only those with a title can enter this place.¡± So, there are places like this in the game! For a moment, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help feeling excited. Should I also try to get a title? But it¡¯s so hard to get a title, only by accomplishing significant deeds recognized by the royal house could there be a chance. I wonder if my two epic quests are enough to earn a title? Soon after, a burst of laughter came from the gate, and several Elf beauties dressed in revealing evening gowns emerged, laughing merrily and flocking around a handsome, elegant Elf Gentleman. Holy crap! Elf beauties! They indeed have an extraordinary aura! Da Fei¡¯s wicked gaze turned towards Anlicia next to him, thinking, should I also get her a set of those clothes to wear? Wait a minute! Isn¡¯t this guy in the middle Little Coltner? Why does he look just like a profligate son? The Elf Gentleman lamented in an operatic tone, ¡°Oh, my darlings, I must embark on a grand voyage! I have to leave now!¡± The ladies exclaimed, ¡°How impressive, we want to go on the voyage with the Baron too!¡± Hey, hey, hey! You can¡¯t be serious! The Elf Gentleman shook his head and sighed, ¡°No, no, it¡¯s too dangerous at sea, with pirates, Sea Monsters, and terrible weather. It could frighten my darlings!¡± The women wailed, ¡°We can¡¯t bear to be without the Baron, Your Lordship is so brave, surely you can protect us, and we wish to witness Your Lordship¡¯s valiant figure!¡± The Elf Gentleman immediately patted his chest, ¡°Alright! Then we will all go together!¡± ¡ª Achew! Da Fei sprayed out a snot. Damn it! This is obviously a noob at sailing, what the heck are you bragging about! Guided by the servant, the lavish Little Coltner came to the front of Da Fei¡¯s carriage. Regardless of anything, the other party was a Baron, and Da Fei couldn¡¯t lack courtesy, so he also dismounted to meet him. Little Coltner gave a very gentlemanly bow, ¡°Pleased to meet you, Captain. Please teach me more in the future.¡± Da Fei¡¯s gaze, however, was drawn to the enchanting female Elves by his side, and he nodded without realizing it, ¡°Your Lordship is too kind, too kind.¡± This brought a round of light laughter from the ladies. ¡°Where is the Captain¡¯s intended destination?¡± Little Coltner asked. Da Fei, intoxicated by the fragrant breeze from the ladies, answered dreamily, ¡°Fire Dragon Island.¡± Little Coltner¡¯s face changed, ¡°Fire Dragon Island? The very cold Fire Dragon Island?¡± The servant spoke seriously, ¡°Yes, young master, this is not a pleasure trip. The lord means business this time. Please make thorough preparations; these ladies absolutely cannot accompany you.¡± Little Coltner clutched his stomach and cried out, ¡°Aiyaya, my stomach disease is acting up again¨CCaptain, I¡¯m so sorry, I can¡¯t go! No need to wait for me! Doctor, I need to see the doctor; I must be hospitalized!¡± And with that, he left the group of beauties behind and hurriedly jumped onto his own luxurious carriage and fled. The servant urgently called out, ¡°Young master! Young master!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: Warning! Your quest ¡°Training Apprentice Navigator Little Coltner¡± is about to fail. If it fails, your reputation will decrease. Achew! Da Fei sprayed out another snot. Damn it! Scared of going? None of Brother Guan¡¯s business, it¡¯s not like I¡¯m your dad, why should my reputation be docked?! Spielberg also sighed, ¡°It¡¯s a pity, without the Coltner family¡¯s Radiant Wings exploration ship, our voyage will lose a powerful force.¡± Da Fei asked in surprise, ¡°Is his ship powerful?¡± The servant sighed, ¡°After inheriting his father¡¯s ship, the young master spent a huge sum of money to turn it into a very luxurious and tremendously powerful warship. It¡¯s just too bad the young master only uses it for parties and has never brought it into real combat.¡± Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! Holy crap, isn¡¯t this my dream? My dream is to turn the Flying into a sea palace, equipped with 32 Phantom Crossbow Cannons, then drinking champagne and playing the piano with bikini-clad babes on deck, right? This is a kindred spirit! I must drag him into this no matter what! Da Fei anxiously said, ¡°A man who does not strive in his youth will regret it in old age, right? We can¡¯t let the master be disappointed, can we? Where did he go? You must bring him back!¡± The servant sighed, ¡°Even the master can¡¯t do anything about the young master, not to mention us servants. If the young master says he won¡¯t go, then he simply won¡¯t go!¡± How is that possible! I just saw him striking his chest in front of beauties, full of pride and confidence! Da Fei urgently said, ¡°A man¡¯s courage is directly proportional to his ability! With me covering for him, what could he possibly be afraid of?¡± The servant groaned and fell silent, clearly lacking confidence in Da Fei. Da Fei urgently asked, ¡°Then you tell me, what exactly can give the young master, oh no, the baron, the courage to act?¡± The servant sighed, ¡°As you have seen, sir, it¡¯s obviously the young and beautiful ladies¡­¡± ¡ª Damn it! This guy is still a real man at heart! There¡¯s only one way now! As the saying goes, if you don¡¯t risk the child, you can¡¯t trap the wolf; if you don¡¯t risk the wife, you can¡¯t trap the lecher. It¡¯s time for Catherine to step in! It seems she¡¯s always been longing for a life like the one in a sea palace, right? Regardless of whether it works, I have to try! To be safe, let¡¯s also call Selvia and Anlicia! I refuse to believe that my three beautiful wives can¡¯t tempt him! Thankfully, this is a game and the other party is an NPC; if it were a player, I wouldn¡¯t even bother thinking about it! Da Fei gritted his teeth and said, ¡°I have a way to get the baron to move, do you know where the baron would go?¡± The servant happily said, ¡°That¡¯s fantastic, of course the baron will go to the hospital to feign illness!¡± Da Fei said with a grave voice, ¡°I¡¯ll arrange for a few people to accompany you there.¡± Da Fei really didn¡¯t want to be present for such an emotionally draining task. Da Fei picked up Catherine and Selvia from the inn and let the three of them follow the servant. Time was short. Spielberg went back to the docks to purchase supplies for setting out to sea, and Da Fei also went to the shipyard and to the trading post to prepare goods, winter clothing, and the like. From the chat inside the carriage, it was known that Spielberg¡¯s cargo hold was astonishingly large, a whopping 2000 units! This must be a ship fit for hunting whales! Indeed, whaling ships don¡¯t need many barracks for soldiers, they don¡¯t have much superstructure, and they don¡¯t need a gun cabin since their cannons are fixed on the deck. The lack of superstructure provides extra space on deck to accommodate many cannon positions. In any case, to fill up a cargo of 2000 units, Da Fei¡¯s 40,000 Gold Coins on hand were a real headache! Of course, money wasn¡¯t the biggest problem; buying cheap goods would suffice. The key was that according to the trading post¡¯s rules, a player could only conduct one transaction per day. The volume of trade is related to the level of a player¡¯s sea merchant certificate. Da Fei had just obtained his Basic Certificate and definitely couldn¡¯t buy much. No choice but to follow the old routine¨Cbuy the purchase orders from other players, especially professional merchants who have the skill to buy low and sell high; their goods are cheap. The key is, would they sell to me? Weren¡¯t they all calling for a boycott against me a while ago? Come on, I¡¯m an international celebrity now. I want to see my own influence in action. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, it¡¯ll just be like hiring two bodyguards to go with me. ¡ª City channel [Da Fei]: Buying medical supplies, food, alcohol, and entertainment products at 70% of the purchase price, any amount welcome, I¡¯m at the trading post, merchants with maxed out buying and selling skills come to me. In an instant, Da Fei once again became the center of attention and discussion in the trading post. ¡°What¡¯s he doing, didn¡¯t he lose his big ship? Or did he buy a warehouse?¡± ¡°I thought warehouses were for stocking specialty products. What¡¯s the point of hoarding ordinary goods?¡± ¡°Do you want purchase orders with a 10% discount?¡± ¡°Hey hey, newcomers don¡¯t go over there! If someone screenshots you, Blood Sea Studio will hunt you down!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Really? Don¡¯t scare me!¡± Da Fei¡¯s brow twitched. Damn, no one really dares to sell things to me? You think you¡¯re powerful, Blood Sea Studio? Just then, a player urgently squeezed through the crowd from the outside. Oh, finally someone is willing to sell their orders to me? The player walked up to Da Fei, glanced around at the surrounding crowd, and declared, ¡°Blood Sea Studio has issued a bounty, whoever dares to sell their purchase orders to Da Fei, this National service con artist and traitor of national wars, Blood Sea Studio will PK him to level 0, making it impossible for him to continue mixing in!¡± ¡ª Damn it! Da Fei couldn¡¯t bear it anymore and spat back with fury, ¡°Your mother¡¯s fart!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 207 - Chapter 207 Chapter 196 Setting Sail Fully Loaded Chapter 207: Chapter 196: Setting Sail Fully Loaded Chapter 207: Chapter 196: Setting Sail Fully Loaded Absolutely unbearable! Blood Sea Wave hasn¡¯t been stabbed enough, huh? Openly inciting and threatening players to confront me? I¡¯m older now, more patient, swamped with tasks, and I¡¯ve been too busy as a professional gamer to deal with these brats. But if it were the old days, I would¡¯ve fought you to the death! Sickened you till you puked! Alright! I now have a million in savings, eating plain buns and porridge every day, I¡¯m going to drag this out with you, and let everyone see who¡¯s the real boss of Elorin! Da Fei opens the character panel, selects the title ¡°President of the Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce¡±, and chooses to display it publicly! In that instant, the crowd around him burst into exclamations when they saw the golden words above Da Fei¡¯s head: ¡°He¡¯s the president of the chamber!¡± ¡°There hasn¡¯t even been a guild in the game yet! Is this real or fake?¡± ¡°Hey hey! It¡¯s real! The Elorin Chamber of Commerce list has this Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce ranked third!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that an NPC chamber? How can a player be the president of an NPC chamber?¡± ¡­¡­ Hmph, just the effect I wanted, forcing me to use my trump card, right! Let¡¯s start with a war of words! If that doesn¡¯t work, sorry then, wait till I¡¯m back from my quests, I will bring my small gunboat and raze your Blood Sea Studio to the ground, dare you not to set sail! Da Fei coldly smiled at the player from the Blood Sea Studio in front of him: ¡°Does your boss compare to me? He¡¯s not worthy to face me!¡± The Blood Sea player was so shocked he was speechless. Da Fei shouted to the crowd: ¡°Look clearly, my guild is the number one guild in the world! Initially, my guild was only going to recruit elites, but I¡¯ve changed my mind now. I¡¯m recruiting those who dare, whoever dares to sell to me, I¡¯ll recruit them into my guild! Do you dare! Do you dare to join the number one guild in the world?!¡± The crowd erupted in noise! Only then did the player regain his senses and bellowed at the people around: ¡°Whoever dares join this fraud and traitor¡¯s guild, we from the Blood Sea Studio will make sure they can¡¯t play anymore!¡± Da Fei chuckled coldly: ¡°Damn it, if I were selling out, wouldn¡¯t that mean selling out your whole family? Unless they are not Chinese!¡± Just then, two more players made their way through the crowd, boldly displaying the large words ¡°Member of Dragon Cavalry Sea Commerce¡± above their heads. They were Da Bing and Da Wei. Da Bing shouted loudly: ¡°Brother Fei is making an exception in recruitment, those who have the guts come join Brother Fei to taste the good life, earn big money, and become professional gamers, those who don¡¯t have the guts can step aside!¡± Da Wei also shouted: ¡°I won¡¯t claim I¡¯m the bravest, but at least in the game, I dare to fight and take risks!¡± The crowd was once again thunderstruck. Da Fei nodded in satisfaction, this is the benefit of having loyal underlings, idle flatterers, and active helpers, hahaha! That Blood Sea player coldly said: ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t talk nonsense anymore, I¡¯ll just record everything here, and we¡¯ll see who really has the guts!¡± At that moment, a group of people rushed from the back of the crowd: ¡°Does selling more goods to Brother Fei give us a better chance to enter his guild?¡± Da Fei was startled, oh right! I was in such a rush I didn¡¯t think of that, it should be like that indeed, after all, there are only 98 spots left in the guild, it would be a waste if an ordinary player selling Brother Fei only 10 goods takes up a spot! Da Fei laughed and said: ¡°Correct, are you here to sell goods?¡± That group of players pushed through the crowd up to him and said one after another: ¡°I have 100 units!¡± ¡°I also have 100 units!¡± ¡°I have 50 units!¡± ¡­ Da Fei was momentarily stunned, 100 units is currently the best amount for a small ship¡¯s cabin right? That means this group of players are currently high-end players! He immediately rejoiced and said: ¡°Deal!¡± The onlooking players finally made up their minds, saying in succession: ¡°We want to trade too!¡± Da Fei laughed out loud: ¡°Damn! Why didn¡¯t you come earlier? There are only 98 spots, let¡¯s queue from the highest to lowest!¡± Just then, Da Fei¡¯s message alert went off, it was still Invincible Soldier. ¡°Brother Fei! This bunch of people seems shady, they might be from Blood Sea Studio! If they join, they¡¯re definitely here to infiltrate or tarnish the guild¡¯s reputation!¡± Da Fei was stunned! Damn, Blood Sea Studio is really cunning? Cut! Doesn¡¯t matter, let¡¯s deal with the current situation first, then replied: ¡°No worries, we¡¯ll gradually clean them out later!¡± Da Bing urgently said: ¡°That will just give people ammunition to say that Brother Fei¡¯s words don¡¯t count, that you are a fraudster!¡± Fraud your sister! Do you know this damned guild is a huge trap? I never recruited because I¡¯m conscientious as the president, you know? But recruiting infiltrators might actually be a relief for my conscience. Da Fei calmly said: ¡°It¡¯s fine, you guys don¡¯t understand my position, hurry up and go increase your reputation.¡± Da Bing tactfully responded: ¡°Okay Brother Fei, be careful, we¡¯re off.¡± Da Fei nodded in satisfaction and yelled at the crowded people: ¡°Don¡¯t push, don¡¯t make a fuss, queue up!¡± The ¡°infiltrators¡± also immediately maintained order: ¡°Stop the fuss, those without 50 units move aside!¡± Da Fei laughed out loud, this was exactly the feeling he wanted! Right, these people indeed were from Blood Sea Studio. When Da Fei showed off his guild¡¯s banner, the manager ¡°Sea and Sky¡± in utter shock realized the tide had turned! Even if Blood Sea Studio could stop Da Fei from recruiting in Elorin, could they stop Da Fei in other cities, in the Main City? The people he recruits will definitely be strong players, definitely not comparable to these current weak merchants. So, acting decisively, he first let his own people occupy spots in his guild! If he dared to kick people out, they would further tarnish his reputation as a fraudster to the core! Blood Sea Wave also embraced a hands-on policy¨Copen doors to all comers, perfectly aligning with the interests of Blood Sea Studio. During the lively moment, the crowd stirred once again. Da Fei saw that it was the smiling faces of Catherine, Miss Selvia, and Anlicia, accompanying the gentlemanly Baron. Babe Trap successful! Da Fei felt a mix of emotions. Little Coltner stepped forward and bowed, saying, ¡°Captain, after the doctor¡¯s emergency treatment, my stomach illness is cured, and I can go to sea again! But I have a request¨C¡± Da Fei, not wanting to engage in story dialogue with an NPC in front of all the players, interrupted, ¡°Hold on a moment, first tell me how many cargo spaces does your ship have?¡± Little Coltner, puzzled, replied, ¡°700 units of cargo space.¡± The cargo hold isn¡¯t big, indicating many gun cabins, really fierce firepower; the Babe Trap wasn¡¯t all for naught. Da Fei nodded, ¡°Then, I¡¯ll borrow the Baron¡¯s cargo hold for a bit. Baron, go get ready, we¡¯ll talk more later.¡± Little Coltner hurriedly responded, ¡°Alright, alright, actually there¡¯s nothing to prepare. My ship has first-class sailors and attendants, always ready to set sail.¡± After saying this, he smiled widely at the three ladies: ¡°Please, Misses, visit my ship, this way please.¡± ¡°Then let¡¯s go check it out!¡± Catherine burst into laughter, taking Miss Selvia with her as they followed. Da Fei gritted his teeth in irritation. ¡°Tsk!¡± Anlicia turned her head, showing no intention of budging. A surprised yet pleased Da Fei asked, ¡°Why aren¡¯t you going?¡± Anlicia glared, ¡°Why should I go?¡± Though not sure of the details, for the first time Da Fei profoundly felt her quirky temperament had its charming aspects. He decided to ignore her and continued to shout to the crowd of players, ¡°Come, come, come, gather ¡¯round, gather ¡¯round, keep it going!¡± Meanwhile, Da Fei¡¯s guild channel was buzzing: ¡°As expected of Brother Fei, lucky with three Female Heros!¡± ¡°This is what a guild feels like, awesome!¡± Damn! I¡¯m not feeling awesome at all! Da Fei then shouted on the guild channel, ¡°I¡¯m short on money, who dares to lend Brother 10,000 Gold Coins, dare or not! Dare or not! I¡¯ll guarantee it officially! Anyone? Anyone?¡± Someone immediately tried to please him, ¡°I have, I have, lending Gold Coins to Brother Fei!¡± Hahaha, trying to gain my trust, huh? I like it! Finally, I¡¯m feeling great! After a busy half-day, having purchased over three thousand units of goods, Da Fei finally had no regrets left. He waved his hand, dispersing the crowd, then announced on the guild channel, ¡°Now the guild won¡¯t take a cut, everyone play like you used to, act like the guild doesn¡¯t exist, alright, I¡¯m busy, if anyone bothers me with nonsense, I¡¯ll shut them in the Little Black Room.¡± ¡°Understood, boss.¡± The so-called guild cut refers to a part of the profit from members¡¯ trading being handed over as funds for guild development. Now that preparations were complete, it was time to go to sea. At the dock, Da Fei found the Coltner family¡¯s luxurious, pure white ship! Damn, why does it look just like the Flying from my dream last time? Coltner personally came down the gangway to greet him, his face beaming with smiles: ¡°I have never seen Miss Catherine and Miss Selvia so brave, so capable, so beautiful, so rich in exotic charm. They gave me endless courage and strength, so I request, Captain, you must let these two ladies serve as Captains on my ship, otherwise I¡¯ll lack the courage to sail!¡± Catherine also laughed, ¡°Captain, I agreed to visit this gentleman¡¯s ship, when I¡¯m not here, you¡¯ll have to steer on your own! Don¡¯t fall behind!¡± ¨CAhem! Da Fei almost spit blood! What the hell! Without Catherine, this Basic Sailing Skill wimp can¡¯t even properly sail a ship! Selvia seriously said, ¡°It¡¯s true, Captain relies too heavily on Miss Catherine, a Captain should have the ability to stand alone.¡± ¨CAhem! Another mouthful of blood spewed! Even you¡¯re lecturing me! You must have been fooled by this sweet talker, right? I see now, no wonder the loyalty of that girl isn¡¯t increasing, it¡¯s because she always feels she can¡¯t rely on my ability! Damn, hiring unreliable reinforcements led to the loss of both wives! Luckily this is a game, otherwise, I¡¯d have him kicked out immediately. Well, there¡¯s no free lunch in games. To gain something from system NPCs here, players must either complete quests or pay a price! It¡¯s alright, my Epic Quest rewarded me with 10 Skill Points, I used 4 on Luck Skill, 1 on Mechanical Reinforcement, leaving 5 points. Just enough to elevate Sailing Skill to Master Level and learn Towing¨Cotherwise, how could I keep up with Catherine¡¯s Navigation Skill? Damn! What a situation! 5 precious Skill Points! Luckily, I still have one Epic Quest reward unclaimed, or I¡¯d be really heartbroken! Still feeling dissatisfied, Da Fei remembered something and asked Anlicia beside him, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you go?¡± Anlicia glanced sideways, sneering, ¡°I don¡¯t have exotic charm!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Oh, not only do you lack exotic charm, compared to those ladies in dresses you¡¯re just a tiny bit off! Humph, no worries, we¡¯ll enjoy our own little world! From the bay came the loud sound of a horn, signaling that Spielberg¡¯s whaling ship was gently departing from port. Catherine waved and smiled, ¡°Captain, time to set sail!¡± Da Fei sighed deeply, ¡°Let¡¯s sail!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 208 - Chapter 208 Chapter 197 Brothers Hold On Chapter 208: Chapter 197: Brothers, Hold On! Chapter 208: Chapter 197: Brothers, Hold On! (PS: Thanks to the attentive readers who reminded me in the previous text, Da Fei was also awarded 1 Skill Point for the quest of purifying the Ancient Tree Space, so now Da Fei still has 1 Skill Point left.) When Da Fei¡¯s Medium Ship followed the two large vessels and slowly set sail, the players in Elorin City were all astounded! Da Fei¡¯s Guild channel was even more sensational. Numerous curious players also set out in their own small boats, trailing behind to see what was going on. Although it seemed that Da Fei no longer had a large ship, being able to steer such a big Medium Ship also placed him far ahead of the average players, no, ahead of the world. The mysterious fleet, the massive resource acquisition, everything indicated that Da Fei was about to make another big move. Just like the time when his entire ship disappeared without a trace. Facing the noisy Guild channel, Da Fei said irritably, ¡°Don¡¯t make a big deal out of nothing, how will you guys continue to hang out with me if you¡¯re scared by such trivial matters! Everyone calm down and be quiet! Also, the sea conditions have been quite poor recently, everyone should be careful when going out to sea.¡± Clearly, the undercover members ignored the meaning of ¡°the sea conditions have been quite poor,¡± snickering internally and quickly expressed their stance: ¡°Brother Fei, rest assured, we are not afraid of the Blood Sea Studio! Let¡¯s not be noisy and disturb Brother Fei.¡± ¡°Exactly, let¡¯s not bother Brother Fei.¡± Pfft! Keep pretending, just keep on pretending for me! At this moment, Da Fei, who was feeling morose, was steering in the Cockpit, while Anlicia excitedly ran up and down the ship, obviously her first time at sea. From the leading white giant ship ahead, faint sounds of piano music could be heard, seemingly enjoying a sea voyage. Da Fei¡¯s mood soured even more. It wasn¡¯t just being uncomfortable, but unease! Without a powerful NPC like Catherine at the helm, how skilled could a player be to continuously dodge reefs, waves, and monsters? Now the fleet had reached the open sea where land was no longer in sight. In the wind and waves of the open sea, the fleet¡¯s speed increased more and more, and the small ships of the players behind were unable to keep up and one by one they turned back. A massive wave struck, causing Da Fei¡¯s ship to suddenly lurch. Damn it, a Medium Ship is still a Medium Ship, obviously not cut out for the open sea. Damn it, could it be the Sea God messing with me? Anyway, there¡¯s nothing much to say, use the last Skill Point! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have spent 1 Skill Point to learn ¡®Skill Insights into Wave Resistance¡¯, and you have acquired the Navigator¡¯s sub-skill Wave Resistance. ¡ª-Wave Resistance: A Navigator sub-skill. An excellent navigator can not only reduce the damage from huge waves to the ship but also utilize the momentum of the waves to further increase the ship¡¯s speed. Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something. What exactly is this Sea God¡¯s Curse? Doomed as soon as setting out to sea? Is it the result of the Sea God¡¯s Divine Power creating storms and waves? According to the prompt of this Chamber of Commerce revival quest, the Sea God is determined to destroy the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce and will not rest until it¡¯s done, so there is bound to be disaster. But Makar also said that the North Sea is not a subtropical region, lacking the conditions for forming storms, hence even the Sea God couldn¡¯t seize the opportunity, which is why this Medium Ship quest was given to me. So here¡¯s the question, how does the Sea God destroy those from the Chamber of Commerce who can only safely conduct trade in the near seas? There are neither strong winds nor huge waves there, nor are there sea monsters or hidden reefs, how does the Sea God seize the opportunity? There are only two possible outcomes. One is that the Sea God has no power over the near seas, allowing them to freely sail and have a blast. If so, Brother¡¯s Chamber of Commerce would slowly recover with the increase in trade volume and reputation. But completing an Epic Quest so easily and happily doesn¡¯t seem very reliable. So the second possibility is more likely, the Sea God puts forth his power, and even in the near seas, he will show his might! Let mortals understand the majesty of a god! If it¡¯s the second case, it must expend the Sea God¡¯s Divine Power, right? This is also equivalent to indirectly contending with the Sea God, isn¡¯t it? Suddenly, Da Fei¡¯s train of thought became clearer. What is the key to completing this Epic Quest? Returning the Divine Artifact is clearly impossible. So there is only one possibility, to wear down the Sea God! To deplete the Sea God¡¯s Divine Power! Right! That¡¯s about it, brothers, hold the line! If nothing else, attract the Sea God¡¯s attention for me and take some of the pressure off. That¡¯s still possible. With that thought, Da Fei¡¯s depressed mood suddenly lifted quite a bit. ¡­¡­. Da Fei barely stepped out of the arena after trampling people when he blew up the world¡¯s number one guild, then set sail with the NPC fleet; these series of high-profile actions completely rocked the China Region. The forum for the game just bumped the video of the arena PK to the top news due to the explosive number of views, with subsequent videos following one after another. Players were no longer shocked by Da Fei¡¯s strength; the key question was, how much stronger could Da Fei possibly get? Was this the result of interests brought about by the National War? For a while, players who had participated in the public test flooded the forum to start various hair-pulling discussions. And facing Da Fei¡¯s high profile, the big shots couldn¡¯t stay calm either. First off, it was Star with Eternal Star. All players who had seen the National War videos knew that Da Fei had massacred dozens of the core team players from Star, but up to now, Star had not made any statement. The reason, of course, is that on that night in the Ancient Tree Space, Bu Feiyan ran into Da Fei and sent out a guild invitation. Eternal Star has always been looking forward to Da Fei¡¯s reply. Now with Da Fei getting stronger, they definitely couldn¡¯t let him become an enemy. Eternal Star had been hesitating whether or not they should personally step forward to extend an invitation. The problem is, he killed dozens of guild members, and should the president go buttering him up to join the guild? Is that something the president should do? Wouldn¡¯t that belittle Star? Or should they leave the matter entirely to Little Deng? The same task, if done by men or a beauty, yields completely different effects; at least, no matter what outrageous things a beauty does, it wouldn¡¯t cause too big of an impact. Anyway, they had to end Little Deng¡¯s vacation soon and get her to finalize this matter. If they really can¡¯t get through to her on the phone, then they¡¯ll shout for a few shemales to get on her account and trick this Da Fei into joining. Of course, having a shemale log in is a last resort. At least there¡¯s one thing that Eternal Star is still quite reassured about ¨C that is, Da Fei is unlikely to join Ninth Heaven. Not for anything else, just because the feud between Da Fei and Bloodrose Studio is escalating, and the relationship between Bloodrose Studio and Ninth Heaven is well known among players. So, this brings us to Ninth Heaven. During this National War, Dragon Slayer and Star had their moments of glory internationally, but Ninth Heaven, which mainly attacked the Human Race, ended up as an ignored corner, just coming along for the ride. Ninth Heaven is currently holding back its strength and gathering forces everywhere. And Da Fei, also of the Human Race, isn¡¯t he a worthy target for Ninth Heaven to recruit? But with Bloodrose Studio causing such a fuss, how should Ninth Heaven handle it? Hair-pulling indeed. Of course, the most hair-pulling trouble belongs to Blood Sea Wave, but there¡¯s no need to mention that. With Da Fei causing such a commotion in the China Region forum, it¡¯s believed that international players won¡¯t remain untouched either, especially those National Teams that have suffered under Da Fei¡¯s hands must surely be starting to urgently formulate new strategies, right? ¡­ Day and night passed, and the first day at sea went by without encountering any danger. But Da Fei dared not be careless, firmly gripping the helm, looking left and right. At this moment, Da Fei was like a scaredy-cat, extremely cautious, every wave and every seagull tightly strumming Da Fei¡¯s tense nerves. It seems that the guild channel is also calm and peaceful, apparently running into no danger. Damn it, it can¡¯t be that these moles are hoarding without doing business, right? Impossible! With 0% commission, as a studio, they have no reason not to make money. Night falls, and the stars fill the sky. The navigating Radiant Wings is brightly lit with festive lights and revelry. Holy crap! Are you really out here just for fun? Isn¡¯t floating a big lamp like this in the sea just inviting all sorts of pirates and sea monsters? Lacking common sense! Completely lacking common sense! Da Fei was so irritated it made his teeth itch. Darn it, it could only be hoped that when trouble comes, these pig-like teammates can perform with godlike combat strength. A night passed without incident, and a new day begins. The journey at sea is tedious and dull; Anlicia, after a day of curiosity, also lost her enthusiasm and started aimlessly fishing at the bow of the ship. Obviously, with the ship¡¯s fast speed, it¡¯s not very likely for any fish to bite. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei¡¯s strained nerves also began to feel fatigued and sleepy. Brother Sea God, please show up, I can¡¯t stand this hair-pulling voyage. Da Fei began to feel extremely envious of Coltner; whether you say he is fearless due to ignorance, or he is nonchalant, at least he knows how to enjoy the life at sea. In fact, isn¡¯t this exactly the ultimate goal that I, Brother Fei, am pursuing? Just as Da Fei was feeling the strain, suddenly someone in the guild channel cried out, ¡°Damn it! There¡¯s a whirlpool! My ship is being pulled into the whirlpool!¡± The guild channel was filled with commotion: ¡°Damn! Such a huge whirlpool! Move away, move away!¡± ¡°Oh shoot, it¡¯s sinking!¡± ¡°Not even a bubble!¡± ¡°Oh my goodness!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched, it¡¯s here! Brothers, hold the fort! (The end of this chapter.

Chapter 209 - Chapter 209 Chapter 198 Minstrel Chapter 209: Chapter 198 Minstrel Chapter 209: Chapter 198 Minstrel This day, the fleet was safe, but the Chamber of Commerce had five ships swallowed by the vortex. The guild channel was full of cursing and lamentation: ¡°How could this happen? What¡¯s going on here?¡± ¡°Brother Fei! Brother Fei, oh! The ships sank!¡± Damn! That¡¯s not my fault, what the hell does it have to do with me? Da Fei finally got fed up with the noise, ¡°You guys mean to tell me, you don¡¯t know how to sail your ships?¡± ¡°It has nothing to do with sailing, there was a vortex! We never heard of a vortex here during the beta test!¡± Da Fei grumbled, ¡°Then what do you say we do? You want me, the guild master, to pay you back or to teach you to sail?¡± Everyone was surprised, ¡°Brother Fei is going to reimburse us?¡± Da Fei shouted, ¡°Reimburse my ass! You think I¡¯m an insurance company or a daycare? Get back to work! I¡¯ve got no time to listen to your nonsense!¡± Show them the guild master¡¯s authority! Everyone quickly said, ¡°Yes, yes, we¡¯ll be more careful next time.¡± Da Fei sneered. Damn it, putting on a show for me! If ordinary players lost their ship and cargo, they¡¯d be crying their eyes out, but who are they? Employees of a tycoon studio! The boss takes the hit, not them. No pressure for me to screw them over a bit. With others¡¯ previous experiences, Da Fei became more nervous. He constantly watched the sea surface to prevent sudden vortices. As night fell again, Da Fei was even more vigilant. It¡¯s not easy to dodge vortices at night. Meanwhile, the Radiant Wings, which was navigating, remained brightly lit with music and dance, completely unaware of the seriousness of the trial mission! Compared to Spielberg¡¯s whaling ship, they had a complete blackout for light control; now that¡¯s professional! Damn, having fun every night with the beauties, huh? Da Fei couldn¡¯t take it anymore! I was entrusted by his grandfather to train him, I¡¯m the instructor, the commander, and I order you to be quiet! Da Fei hurriedly called the Order Flag Bearer, enraged, ¡°Tell the ship in front to put out the lights and silence!¡± ¡°Why silence? It¡¯s so boring without music,¡± Anlicia lounged lazily in the cockpit, fiddling with her Rubik¡¯s cube, pitching in. Throughout the day, Anlicia¡¯s position never stayed the same; sometimes fishing, sometimes blowing on the observatory, sometimes as a guest helmsman, sometimes reading a novel on the deck. In short, she was utterly idle and Da Fei couldn¡¯t do anything with her! Even you¡¯re going against me! Da Fei almost choked with rage! Fine, she¡¯s always had this temper! Why is my team so hard to manage? Considering Grandma from Heaven, I¡¯ll sit and reason with you. Don¡¯t forget, Grandma¡¯s last wish was for me to train you, and if you end up like this, it¡¯s a failure on my part as a teacher! Even risking a drop in loyalty, I must train you! Da Fei took a deep breath, put on a stern face, ¡°We¡¯re on a very important mission, encountering various dangers, so that Baron¡¯s flamboyant behavior must be stopped. I need to enforce a blackout.¡± Anlicia chuckled, ¡°If our enemies were just pirates, a blackout would be justified, but the problem is, our enemies aren¡¯t just pirates.¡± Da Fei raised an eyebrow, ¡°Does he think holding a concert can take on the Sea God?¡± Anlicia shook her head with a smile, ¡°No mortal dares to claim they can take on a god! Look outside, Captain, what do you see glowing around the fleet?¡± Looking at the sparkling sea around the fleet, Da Fei remarked, ¡°Isn¡¯t it just the sea reflecting the lights from their ship?¡± Anlicia laughed, ¡°Not entirely, some of the light comes from algae, glowing from the wave motions caused by passing ships, known as red tides. These attract lots of fish to feed.¡± Da Fei said grimly, ¡°Yes, and they bring sea monsters along too!¡± ¡°Ice fruit!¡± Anlicia laughed, ¡°Exactly, sea monsters! Sea monsters are the Sea God¡¯s enforcers, and they track their targets in three ways: sonar, light, and the scent of blood. The Radiant Wings plays various music all day to disrupt the sea monsters¡¯ sonar signals, and its exaggerated lighting causes large areas of light scattering that can interfere with the sea monsters¡¯ vision and attract lots of fish to further disrupt their perception. The scent of blood isn¡¯t an issue for now. So, perhaps that Baron has other intentions!¡± So there is a theoretical basis? Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped, ¡°Is he really such a profound person?¡± Anlicia sighed and shook her head, ¡°He is the grandson of a navigator, technically a Baron of the kingdom, so he has some real skills. Oh, and his profession, a Minstrel. Or, to put it nicely, a musician.¡± Da Fei was amazed, ¡°A Minstrel? A hero profession?¡± Anlicia shook her head, ¡°Not a hero profession, strictly speaking, just the name of a skill. Historically, there have been heroes in poet professions, like the most famous Undead Poet Virgil, who assisted Dante in traveling through Purgatory. A poet¡¯s weapon is their voice; their music or battle songs can boost morale, increase attack, or frighten enemies, reducing their condition, etc. Unfortunately, the tragedy of poets makes it hard for them to become heroes; there haven¡¯t been poet heroes for thousands of years. Still, poet hero skills have been scattered among common folk and improved in many ways, for example, the church¡¯s holy songs or the Barbarian¡¯s war cries. It¡¯s hard for the Captain to associate Barbarian war cries with poets, right?¡± Da Fei gawked, ¡°You know so much!¡± Anlicia, with pride, ¡°As an Elf, with a long life comes a long memory, and being well-educated by my family helps.¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly, ¡°No wonder you¡¯re Grandma¡¯s granddaughter!¡± At this moment, Da Fei felt she might as well have been Grandma possessed! Anlicia was even more pleased, ¡°By the way, if the Captain wants to confront the Beastmen, you should learn a poet¡¯s skill. A poet skill can effectively counter the Beastman¡¯s battle trenches.¡± Learn a poet skill? Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched, ¡°So, if we successfully assist that Baron in becoming a navigator, he¡¯ll teach us poet skills?¡± Anlicia laughed, ¡°Ice fruit! But he¡¯ll teach Miss Selvia because Miss Selvia comes from a nun background and sings daily, making her a natural fit. He mentioned this in the hospital room.¡± Da Fei suddenly realized, ¡°So that Baron has some abilities!¡± Anlicia nodded and solemnly said, ¡°There¡¯s actually one more critical point, the North Sea is rich with sea demons, whose song can drive sailors insane to jump overboard, but only a poet¡¯s song can counter it. I think that¡¯s why Old Coltner appointed him for this mission, to foster his growth, requiring us to face sea demons!¡± ¡°So that¡¯s it!¡± Da Fei now completely understood. This mission required assisting with whaling and fighting sea monsters, it was a tall order! However¨C Da Fei cleared his throat, ¡°You seem to know a lot about others; what about yourself?¡± Anlicia¡¯s mouth tightened, ¡°Me? What about me?¡± Da Fei took out Grandma¡¯s last note with a snort, ¡°Grandma¡¯s last wish was for me to train you, you can¡¯t just play around and talk about others!¡± Anlicia chuckled casually, ¡°Oh? How would the Captain train me?¡± Damn! She underestimated me! Let me show you what I¡¯m truly capable of! Da Fei scoffed, ¡°Of course, the two of us will combine Divine Skill Mysterious Stealth Navigation! Our journey is long and arduous; I must intensify your training during this time.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Anlicia suddenly looked shocked, ¡°Me! Two-person combo? Grandma¡¯s notes said it requires three people!¡± Oh yes, indeed inheriting Grandma¡¯s legacy! That¡¯s good, saves me from talking more. Da Fei arrogantly said, ¡°My Master-level Navigation Skill along with Advanced Navigator makes me practically equivalent to a Grandmaster Navigation Skill, plus my God-level Reconnaissance Technique allows me to take on two roles! You¡¯re the weak link here, dare not work hard?¡± Whether it works or not, it¡¯s worth trying; even if a skill isn¡¯t formed, a makeshift one can still be useful for defense. Anlicia¡¯s face twitched with disbelief and disdain ¡°Hmph, there¡¯s nothing great about that! I just don¡¯t believe it!¡± Oh yes, success in motivating to learn!

Chapter 210 - Chapter 210 Chapter 199 Japans Crazy Plan Chapter 210: Chapter 199: Japan¡¯s Crazy Plan Chapter 210: Chapter 199: Japan¡¯s Crazy Plan Tokyo Akihabara, Mitsubishi ABC Software Building, Mitsubishi Team Command Center main conference room. Over a hundred main team professional players gathered together. Igarashi glanced seriously across the meeting room, then activated the TV wall behind him, where the news began to scroll: ¡ª-¡°Heroic Creation Era launched globally, achieving sales of 11.7 billion US Dollars within just 15 days, with China Region alone accounting for 3 billion US Dollars. The global success of Heroic Creation Era greatly boosted the confidence of developers worldwide. Showing countries around the world the vast potential of the electronic sports market, nations and regions such as Pakistan, Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, Taiwan, Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico are strongly demanding new zones. Thus, the American Hero Genesis Joint Headquarters plans to add Southeast Asia Region and South America in early March, allowing players from all over the world to truly join the game¡­¡± ¡ª-¡°Pakistan has stated that, being a nuclear power with a population of 170 million, Pakistan¡¯s stability and prosperity symbolize the stability and prosperity of the Central Asia region, which plays a significant role in global peace. With a large population and immense market potential, along with achievements in nuclear and aerospace technology, Pakistan undoubtedly has the capability to host servers like South Korea and Japan. Doubting Pakistan¡¯s ability on the grounds of terrorism and turmoil, and including it in the Southeast Asia Region, is unscientific¡­¡± ¡ª-¡°The Taiwan Region also expressed that, as a well-known big zone in global electronic sports, it fully has the capability to host its own servers, with market potential not inferior to South Korea¡¯s 50 million population. Including Taiwan into the Southeast Asia Region is unscientific. Meanwhile, the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council also stated that this indeed is unscientific, Taiwan Region should be linked with the China Region, and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the American Headquarters for incorporating Cold War ideological divides into the game, voicing stern protests!¡± ¡ª-¡°The Brazil region stated that, with a population of 200 million, Brazil is the most vibrant country in South America with huge market prospects. Just like its world-renowned achievements in soccer, Brazil is fully capable of taking a leading position in the world of electronic sports. Brazil should have its own server, there is no reason to be grouped with Argentina.¡± ¡ª-¡°In response to Brazil¡¯s remarks, Argentina, with a population of 40 million, also immediately responded that Brazil does not have the capability to host its own server, and this is merely a poor excuse from Brazil, afraid to face us Argentines!¡± ¡­¡­ Igarashi solemnly said: ¡°Gentlemen, in one month, new players will join the game, and the international situation will undergo significant changes. This also means that our path to world domination will face new rivals and new challenges. So, what is the problem with our Japan region? ¡ª Hirata, let¡¯s hear your thoughts!¡± The room fell silent. Igarashi raised his voice: ¡°Hirata!¡± ¡°President, Hirata has fallen asleep!¡± ¡°What!!!¡± Igarashi furiously exclaimed, ¡°What kind of behavior is this? Is this the performance of a world-class professional player!¡± Hirata Hirao suddenly woke up and immediately stood up, saying: ¡°President, the Hell Stable is dispatching troops. If I don¡¯t hurry, they will be recruited by the NPC!¡± As the most talented and possibly strongest player in the Japan region, and perhaps even the world, this Hirata Hirao is indeed too otaku and lacks a broad perspective. Igarashi suppressed his anger and waved his hand: ¡°Go! Hirata, show us through action that our problem in the Japan region is the lack of troops. How should we address this issue? ¡ª Mr. Tsukamoto, let¡¯s hear your view.¡± Tsukamoto Hideki slowly stood up, speaking in a deep voice: ¡°I have been thinking about this issue for a long time, but it is too risky, so it can only be treated as a hypothetical scenario.¡± Oh, insightful and thoughtful, it seems Mr. Tsukamoto might be the potential next team captain! Igarashi nodded in satisfaction: ¡°Please explain.¡± ¡°Hi! Please enlighten me!¡± After Tsukamoto bowed to the crowd, he spoke seriously: ¡°To conquer the world, we must first conquer our own region. Therefore, the Hell Race should break out of hell and occupy the entire surface world of the Japan region, that is, annihilate all the Humans, Elves, and Dwarf Clan in our region! Achieve a grand unification under the Hell Race in the Japan region!¡± The room buzzed with shock! Igarashi, taken aback, said: ¡°Mr. Tsukamoto, are you suggesting we erase the NPC forces of the Bright Alliance in our region?¡± ¡°Hi!¡± Tsukamoto spoke passionately: ¡°Starting from the Elf Kingdom! Although we failed in the national war with the China Region, I have learned from this failure. If there is another battle at the Pool of Radiance, we won¡¯t lose. Furthermore, with united support from everyone in our Japan region, the Bright Alliance players will not hinder us. Instead, they will become our internal support. Once the Elf Kingdom falls, the Bright Alliance will be split in two, and our Hell Army will be able to defeat them one by one! By then, volcanoes from hell will erupt across the Mainland, and the fortresses of the Hell Race will be established throughout Hero Continent, giving us endless troop strength!¡± Such a crazy idea shocked the entire meeting room! Igarashi exclaimed: ¡°Mr. Tsukamoto, do you realize this would mean launching an epic-level campaign? Moreover, NPC strategy mainly focuses on the New World, and they might not provide sufficient support to players!¡± Tsukamoto firmly said: ¡°NPC strategies also change based on player performance. If we achieve a great victory in the initial battle, creating a breach from the Pool of Radiance, it¡¯s very likely that NPC will adjust their strategy!¡± Igarashi¡¯s eyebrows twitched, scanning the room: ¡°Gentlemen, your thoughts?¡± The crowd responded variously: ¡°Although very risky, it definitely has great courage!¡± ¡± Worth a try!¡± ¡°Once successful, our Japan region will undoubtedly be the dominator of the world! The American Zone won¡¯t be able to stop us!¡± Igarashi nodded: ¡°Mr. Tsukamoto¡¯s proposal is of great importance. I must submit it to the board of directors for careful consideration. In the meantime, gentlemen, you must not slacken your efforts. Especially since Da Fei from the China Region is making rapid progress, and there¡¯s news that the Indian Zone has made breakthroughs in the Mage Academy, everyone must take note¨C¡± Just then, the conference room door suddenly opened, and a spirited, awe-inspiring elderly man with white hair dressed in a kimono appeared at the door. Igarashi, startled, exclaimed: ¡°Director Matsuyama!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The entire room stood up and bowed: ¡°Greetings, Director!¡± The white-haired old man surveyed the room, saying solemnly: ¡°There is no need for the board to discuss this. I trust in your capabilities, so it¡¯s settled!¡± The room bowed again in response: ¡°Hi!¡± ¡­¡­ Amidst the global sales boom of Heroic Creation Era, the Japan region, in response to new circumstances,Kai Shi Chou Bei Zheng Fu Shi Jie De Feng Kuang Ji Hua !(To be continued.

Chapter 211 - Chapter 211 Chapter 200 Entering the Sea of Death Chapter 211: Chapter 200: Entering the Sea of Death Chapter 211: Chapter 200: Entering the Sea of Death (Once again, thanks to the attentive book friend for pointing out that when Da Fei leveled up to 31, he got a skill point, so there¡¯s still 1 skill point left. Writing a data-stream book is indeed very difficult -_-#) The night sea, with stars filling the sky, saw the fleet moving ahead at full speed under the lively leadership of the Radiant Wings. Meanwhile, Da Fei began implementing a new idea to train Alicia. ¨CSystem Prompt: You activated the Phantom March Skill. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has cast Advanced Magic ¡°Illusion Army.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You failed to combine the ¡°Mysterious Stealth Navigation¡± skill! Failed again! Indeed, advanced magic doesn¡¯t work! Can¡¯t even obtain skill information. Alicia impatiently said, ¡°Captain, don¡¯t make pointless attempts anymore!¡± Damn! How dare you say that, aren¡¯t you the one who isn¡¯t even a master yet? Can¡¯t handle the medium ship, let alone a big one. Da Fei sighed, ¡°See? Grandma was right!¡± Alicia huffed, ¡°Leave me alone! I need some peace!¡± She slammed the door shut in a huff. Damn! Her temper is huge, but she¡¯s genuinely throwing a fit, isn¡¯t she? Fine, I won¡¯t mess with your pride anymore. You should reflect a bit. After all, it¡¯s still a lack of skills, need a few battles to get her leveled up. But how to battle in the vast ocean? Pirates? Sea monsters? Damn, better none of them appear. Da Fei quietly manned the ship again; the night passed uneventfully. With the sunrise in the east, the beginning of a new day was heralded with radiant light. It was the third day at sea. This voyage, the NPC officer said, would last a month, equaling three days in reality, counting a regular Master-level Navigation Skill navigating a regular cargo ship. The Radiant Wings exploration ship, though laden with heavy armor affecting speed, was definitely twice as fast as a regular cargo ship. Accounting for the slow medium ship led by myself dragging a bit, yet with Catherine¡¯s Master-level Navigation Skill granting a 20% speed boost, combined with the Master-level Pirate¡¯s additional 25% edge, indeed, our fleet¡¯s three-day journey might just equate to five or six days under normal circumstances. The remaining journey was still long. Probably another day and a half in real-time? No point in talking much about it, just endure the overnight. At this time Alicia seemed to have returned to her sunny disposition, fishing, reading, and sunbathing, and now she was napping. Da Fei really missed the days when Catherine was around, would I have had to stay up all night if she were here? Just then, the flag bearer came to report, ¡°Captain, the flagship has sent a message, our fleet is about to enter the Frostwind Strait, please prepare for alertness.¡± Oh! Something was finally about to happen? Da Fei, who had been restless for days, immediately spread out the map to check. So-called straits generally referred to sea areas between two land masses. This Frostwind Strait was a relatively spacious passage through a cluster of reefs. Once this strait was crossed, it¡¯d officially enter the North Sea. Typically, winds and waves within the strait were smaller than in the open sea, causing the passing ship speed to naturally decline, making straits a good ambush point for pirate sail and paddle ship raids on large merchant convoys. Yet, no game data indicated any pirate activities here, since this wasn¡¯t a major trading route nor had any adequately large islands for pirate hideouts. Would there be pirates? Anyway, the Sea God hadn¡¯t made a move on me for three consecutive days, would it act here? Da Fei faintly felt something was going to happen and hastily awakened Alicia sleeping on deck, ¡°Get up, get up! Prepare for battle.¡± Alicia, sullen, looked around but said nothing and climbed up the mast to the observatory. Huh, not bad, though often likes to argue with me, she doesn¡¯t fail at critical moments. Da Fei stuck his head out the window and watched Alicia¡¯s climbing, wiggling her bottom, regretting why her belt didn¡¯t fail. . . . A speckling reef group appeared ahead. The leading Radiant Wings, with its continuous music, charged into the strait passage at full speed. Da Fei¡¯s feelings were very conflicting, desiring something to happen to gain some experience and not waste this long sea time, yet hoping nothing would happen and pass safely. The sky suddenly filled with dark clouds, the sea breeze suddenly halted, and the fleet¡¯s speed suddenly dropped sharply, causing Da Fei to be startled, what was bound to come, finally came! At this moment, the sea surface was enveloped in dim mist. The flag bearer hurried over to report, ¡°Captain, the flagship issued a directive, abnormal fog has appeared. The signal flags will be hard to use, please ensure to follow the flagship¡¯s piano sound, absolutely don¡¯t fall behind! Deviating from the route will lead to grounding!¡± Da Fei was startled, damn, who issued this order? Isn¡¯t it the baron? Am I training you or are you training me? But gazing at the increasingly dense fog and the more and more blurred shape of the ships ahead, Da Fei broke out in a cold sweat and could only nod. The fog grew thicker, and the world was immersed in mist. Da Fei¡¯s God-level Reconnaissance Skill was like being blinded in this fog barrier. Soon, the two big green dots representing the flagship and whaling ship disappeared from the radar, leaving only the ethereal piano sound ahead! Damn, this is navigation by sound! How could this be? When the old lady cast the Mist Technique, at least the radar could still be used, now why can¡¯t it? Is this a God-level fog? Is this the Sea God¡¯s power? Da Fei¡¯s cold sweat streamed, his hands at the helm trembling tensely. Must not make mistakes, must follow closely! Wait! There¡¯s another issue, my God-level Reconnaissance Skill can¡¯t see it, how about Catherine¡¯s ship leading the fleet? Blind man riding a blind horse? Could there be whirlpools in the fog? Thinking of this made Da Fei even more uneasy. As time ticked by nervously, only the symphony of sea waves and piano resonated in the entire world. Da Fei didn¡¯t have a single heart to appreciate it, how much longer? The piano sound suddenly rose to a high and lofty rhythm. Da Fei¡¯s heart leaped, was this a self-accompanied battle BGM pace? Encountered an enemy? Encountered an enemy, so why didn¡¯t the system prompt? Could it stop playing the piano, since it¡¯s guiding by sound, will blowing a horn kill you? While tangled and bewildered, Alicia jumped down from the observatory and rushed in, her expression grave, ¡°Captain, something¡¯s wrong. Spielberg¡¯s ship has lost contact; we and the flagship have entered another world!¡± Another world? Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°How do you know?¡± Alicia said coldly, ¡°Two Little Bees!¡± Oh right, her bees could navigate! Meaning my ship and the vice officer¡¯s ship on my side were Sea God¡¯s target for revenge, while the unrelated Spielberg was isolated by the Sea God? Is this Sea God¡¯s power? Too strong! What task did I take on! Da Fei¡¯s voice began to tremble with tension, ¡°Then, what world could this be?¡± ¡°Ahahaha!!!¡± A massive, majestic laugh suddenly echoed through the misty world! Da Fei was startled, ¡°Are you the Sea God?¡± The vast voice echoed, ¡°How could a puny mortal converse with the Main God? You¡¯re also not qualified to know the name of my Sea General Skira. This is the world of the dead, all mortals who perished at sea have their souls sacrificed to our god, serving our god. Mortal, though you escaped the pursuit of my general¡¯s claws, having almost broken through the mist¡¯s barrier, you still cannot escape this Sea of Death. Repent for your past sins! Wahahaha¡­.¡± The laughter gradually faded, the mist slowly vanished, and a massive silver moon shone high in the sky, with the gray-black ocean dotted with tens of thousands of protruding reefs, floating countless shipwreck remnants. Da Fei gasped, this was the ocean of the Undead Realm, my second time here! At this point, the Radiant Wings was just ahead, and the whaling ship was indeed gone. Now, how to get out? Where was the way? While hesitating, Da Fei felt the Captain¡¯s Sword at his waist vibrating. Da Fei was suddenly delighted, could it be? Sure enough, with a flash of light from the Captain¡¯s Sword, a white ghost floated out! ¡°A ghost!¡± Alicia screamed! Damn! This place was full of ghosts, wasn¡¯t it! Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Renior!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The ghost Renior laughed heartily, ¡°Adventurer, long time no see? I felt the call of the silver moon, sensing the familiar aura I awoke, I have returned to the Undead Realm.¡± Damn, just when I was at my wit¡¯s end, you woke up so timely! Da Fei excitedly said, ¡°Captain! Teacher, I have inherited your teachings from your book, and I¡¯ve become a navigator too!¡± Renior nodded with satisfaction, ¡°Not bad, but you seem to be in trouble now?¡± Da Fei was startled, the radar suddenly showed a red cloud. Looking around, countless floating shipwreck remnants slowly surfaced, becoming black intact warships! Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped to the floor, damn, ship indeed had life! (To be continued.

Chapter 212 - Chapter 212 Chapter 201 Fierce Battle with the Ghost Fleet Chapter 212: Chapter 201: Fierce Battle with the Ghost Fleet Chapter 212: Chapter 201: Fierce Battle with the Ghost Fleet Facing the resurrection of Undead Battleships from all sides, Da Fei asked in alarm: ¡°Mr. Renior, what should we do now?¡± Renior let out an ¡°Oh¡±: ¡°Fight, young man!¡± Truly a Great Navigator, spotting the essence of the problem at a glance. Then fight! Da Fei hastily said to Anlicia: ¡°You command the Artillery in the Gun Cabin, battle, young lady!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have assigned Deputy Officer Anlicia to the position of Artillery Commander. ¡°It¡¯s only 4 cannons anyway!¡± Anlicia snorted excitedly and ran toward the Gun Cabin. The Order Flag Bearer came in again to report: ¡°Captain, the flagship is ready for battle, please make sure to approach the flagship!¡± Da Fei nodded: ¡°Received!¡± At this point, we can only rely on that young master¡¯s armed battleship, hoping it¡¯s really as powerful as the rumors suggest. Now, the sailors in the fleet are armed and standing guard at the ship¡¯s side, well-prepared for battle, as Undead Battlehsips converge from all sides, bringing immense pressure. Most of these battleships are of medium size and would presumably be no match for the young master¡¯s large vessel, but the problem is their numbers, isn¡¯t it? Da Fei anxiously asked: ¡°Captain, can we, win this fight?¡± Renior replied indifferently: ¡°We¡¯ll find out if we fight.¡± Just like a Great Navigator, straightforward and unsophisticated. Da Fei said with annoyance: ¡°But what if we can¡¯t win?¡± Renior replied calmly: ¡°A true warrior dares to face bleak life head-on.¡± Holy crap! Those words are packed with philosophy of life! It was then that Da Fei realized for the first time that Renior, in his ghost state, had no Hero Aura! Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°Captain, are you no longer a hero?¡± Renior sighed: ¡°Without a body, how can I be a hero?¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but be taken aback, recalling that Siriel had also experienced such a situation! When the strength of NPC heroes is severely depleted, they can turn into ordinary NPCs! That is to say, NPC heroes can be killed! This is fundamentally different from players and Vice Heroes who have joined a player¡¯s team. Da Fei urgently said: ¡°Then, Captain, can you still help me get through this crisis?¡± Renior replied gravely: ¡°Unfortunately, my current state isn¡¯t much stronger than a common ghost. I need to observe the situation, or perhaps, it¡¯s necessary to acquire a new body.¡± Da Fei was taken aback: ¡°A body? Where can we find one? Like a Necromancer¡¯s kind?¡± Renior replied gravely: ¡°Perhaps, like one of those Ghost Ships of the enemy.¡± Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°Ghost Ship? Can ships serve as a body?¡± Renior said indifferently: ¡°Aren¡¯t our enemies using ships as bodies for the Undead? In life, Ghost Ships were just a mysterious legend among sailors, and to think that, dead, I¡¯ve encountered so many! In any case, you fight with all your might, and I shall see for myself what this legendary Ghost Ship is all about.¡± Da Fei was shocked: ¡°Are you planning to learn to become a Ghost Ship, Captain?¡± Renior said solemnly: ¡°As a navigator, one must constantly learn new things in face of crisis. If these common Undead sailors can become Ghost Ships, there¡¯s no reason I can¡¯t!¡± So that¡¯s how it is! Da Fei spoke with excitement: ¡°Understood, leave this to me!¡± The Druids have said, all woods possess a spirit, and spirit is life. The Holy Spirit is a spirit, and so are the Undead; as long as we can bring the ship to life, it is a good spirit! If a Heroic Level being like Renior was reincarnated as a Ghost Ship, would that become a Heroic Ghost Ship? How powerful would that be? Alright, to assess the Hero¡¯s strength, we¡¯ve got to see just how strong the ordinary ones are. Come on, let me witness the might of these Ghost Ships. The Ghost Ships drew closer, and a stirring piano melody from afar ¨C the young master, with his combat BGM, was clearly ready to open fire. At this moment, Da Fei was speeding to join him. It was only then that Da Fei noticed that these Ghost Ships were all bare mast structures, with tattered sails, or even no sails at all! Damn! That means Ghost Ships don¡¯t need sails to move ¨C advanced, truly advanced! Speaking of which, Bone Dragons with their empty skeletal frames and wings can fly despite not being able to catch the wind. ¨CBoom pa pa pa pa! The Radiant Wings fired first, with dozens of side cannon doors bursting into action simultaneously, and hundreds of Crossbow Arrows whistled out! ¨CBang bang bang bang! Splinters flew and waves churned as the two leading medium-sized Ghost Ships fell apart and wobbled unstably under the barrage of intense firepower. ¨CSystem Prompt: Radiant Wings has sunk a Ghost Battleship, you have gained 4300 Experience. Hahaha, just a bunch of small fries wiped out in a single round, not so tough after all! And the experience points aren¡¯t that impressive either. Da Fei¡¯s confidence surged dramatically. Bring it on, let them witness the power of my Master-level Crossbow Cannons! Excluding the additional attribute points from equipment, my total attribute points reach 70. With the Master-level Crossbow Cannons¡¯ basic damage at 7-8, my unmodified damage per shot is 490-560! While a common Tier 4 proficient Artillery Commander has 10 Attack and 10 Defense, that¡¯s just 20 attribute points, with basic damage of 4-5 using Advanced Crossbow Cannons. Their damage per shot is a mere 80-100! One of my cannons is worth 5 of an NPC¡¯s cannons! Plus, I¡¯ve learned the Divine Skill ¡°Mechanical Reinforcement¡± which allows me to bring an extra machine, meaning double-barreled cannons. My two cannons are the equivalent of their 10, hahaha! ¡ª Bang bang bang! The ship shook slightly, and three rows of Crossbow Arrows whistled out, Anlicia also took aim and fired at the target! A flurry of battle reports flooded the screen. ¡ª System Prompt: You hit the Ghost Battleship, dealing 510, missed, 510 points of damage! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Crossbow Cannon got lucky, dealing 1210, missed, 1246 points of damage to the Ghost Battleship! ¡ª System Prompt: Your Intelligence Collection Skill has gathered incomplete information on the Ghost Battleship! ¡­.. Staring at the glaring ¡°missed¡± in the system prompts, Da Fei was taken aback: ¡°What the heck? How could there be a miss on such a huge ship?!¡± Renior said indifferently: ¡°Of course, because it¡¯s a Ghost Ship!¡± Could the Ghost Ship be as nasty as ghosts themselves? Da Fei hurriedly checked the recently collected incomplete information on the Ghost Battleship: Durability: ?, Speed: ?, Defense: 32, Ship special skill: Ghost Body¡­ Dammit! It really is like a ghost! My cannon fell short, a miss means a huge loss in output! Are they deliberately troubling me or what? Great! The Ghost Ship does have potential. Today¡¯s annoyance is for tomorrow¡¯s smooth sailing. Captain, you must learn to transform into a Ghost Ship, I¡¯ll form the head! ¡ª Bang bang bang!!! Like the sound of firecrackers, the closest Ghost Fleet counterattacked, with each ship launching a large mass of green-smoking unknown substances, drawing a long arc in the air before crashing toward Da Fei and the Radiant Wings! Da Fei¡¯s eyes narrowed in alarm, is this a catapult attack? Did they mount siege machines on the battleships? Damn! The effect of siege machines on buildings is incomparable to Crossbow Cannons, especially for wooden structures like ships that can¡¯t take much pounding! ¡ª Splash splash splash! Several green smoke projectiles fell around Da Fei¡¯s ship on the sea, causing a splash. Da Fei broke out in a cold sweat. Thankfully, catapults aren¡¯t very accurate to begin with, even less so when firing from a moving ship at a moving target! Da Fei¡¯s smaller ship narrowly escaped, but the larger Radiant Wings wasn¡¯t so lucky, it seemed to have taken a couple of hits! The entire ship was engulfed in thick smoke. Damn it, I hope nothing serious happened? Just then, the Order Flag Bearer came with a report: ¡°Captain, the flagship is preparing to forcefully break through, please make sure to keep up!¡± This resolute order must have come from Catherine, the Baron must have pissed himself, the piano playing stopped, right? Then let¡¯s break through! As long as we¡¯re fast enough, we don¡¯t have to fear those catapults. The ship shook, and another salvo of Crossbow Cannons roared: ¡ª System Prompt: You hit the Ghost Battleship, dealing missed, 523, 543 points of damage! ¡ª System Prompt: You hit the Ghost Battleship, dealing 331 points of damage! You¡¯ve sunk a Ghost Battleship! You¡¯ve gained +30000 Experience. ¡ª System Prompt: You have obtained incomplete information about the Ghost Battleship. Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched! 30,000 experience points! Damn! What was that 4,300 about? Damn! Turns out that was the experience points the Baron got from killing a monster, and I just leached it! So these monsters do give a whole lot of experience! If I could wipe out all these densely packed monsters, wouldn¡¯t my experience soar to the sky, instantly turning Anlicia from a poor student into an honor student? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Nothing more to say, follow them! ¡ª Boom! With a loud noise, the huge body of the Radiant Wings violently collided with a Ghost Ship. ¡ª System Prompt: The Radiant Wings has sunk a Ghost Battleship, you¡¯ve gained 4300 experience. Da Fei was shocked, so this was the so-called forceful breakthrough! (I¡¯m sorry, everyone. It was too busy on Monday, and I fell asleep while writing.)(To be continued.

Chapter 213 - Chapter 213 Chapter 202 Give Up on the Radiant Wings Chapter 213: Chapter 202: Give Up on the Radiant Wings Chapter 213: Chapter 202: Give Up on the Radiant Wings The crossbow cannons are booming, and poison gas bombs are wailing through the air. The huge waves stirred by falling rocks and the dust clouding over the water blur Da Fei¡¯s vision. The surface of the sea is littered with the wreckage of ghost ships. ¡ª-System Prompt: Radiant Wings has sunk a Ghost Battleship, you have gained 4300 Experience. ¡ª-System Prompt: Radiant Wings has sunk a Ghost Battleship, you have gained 4300 Experience. ¡ª-System Prompt: You have hit a Ghost Battleship, causing 457 damage! You have sunk a Ghost Battleship! You have gained +30000 Experience. ¡­¡­ Rows of system information frantically flood the screen. The Radiant Wings charges forward like a mad bull, relentlessly colliding with all the ghost ships in its path. The cost of the collision is great damage to its own Durability. At this moment, poison gas pervades Radiant Wings, there are cries everywhere, and a golden radiance flashes. This is the sailors conducting emergency repairs during battle, this is Selvia treating the injured and poisoned sailors. This seemingly reckless tactic is the only tactic available right now. At close range, the catapult can¡¯t attack. The eye-catching performance of the Radiant Wings has also attracted all of the enemy¡¯s attention, which allows Da Fei¡¯s Medium Ship to avoid danger and follow behind, finishing off the weakened enemies. A large ship truly deserves its name; its extraordinary combat power makes Da Fei able to imagine how magnificent the Flying will be in the future! If it is said that 10 Medium Ships can sink 1 Large Ship in a mutual shootout, does it mean that 1 Large Ship equals 10 Medium Ships? Obviously not! In real combat, no large ship would stupidly let itself be surrounded by small ships to give them a numerical advantage. In the history of naval warfare, the British knew the tactical significance of large ships the best. During World War II, when the Germans¡¯ gigantic ship Bismarck was launched and first sank two British large ships as an opening gambit, then prepared to menacingly head for the Atlantic to cut off British supply lines, the British were terrified! It took a combined force of two to three hundred medium and small destroyers, escort ships, along with hundreds of torpedo planes from aircraft carriers to finally sink the Bismarck at the gates of the North Sea. One can imagine, had the Bismarck made it out into the vast Atlantic, where would you begin to search for it? And even if it was found, what could be done? Not to mention the blockade and pursuit battle alone, how much fuel did a few hundred British ships burn just because of one Bismarck? At this moment, the breakout of the Radiant Wings reminds Da Fei of that famous battleship in the annals of naval history. Brother, can we break through? Looking at the continual bombardment of the Radiant Wings by falling rocks, Da Fei begins to feel uneasy. Why are there still ghost ships ahead? When will this sea end? Just then, Renior finally spoke, ¡°Friend, how did you come here?¡± In moments of confusion and despair, having someone to talk to is ultimately a good thing. His address to oneself has been upgraded from initially being an adventurer to a friend, which is even more uplifting for Da Fei. Da Fei hurriedly responded, ¡°Does Captain know the old Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce of Elorin City in the Elf Kingdom? I have taken over this Chamber of Commerce.¡± Renior uttered a sound of realization, ¡°I see. This Chamber of Commerce is renowned in the sailing circles; having met you today, the rumors are indeed true.¡± Then he let out a long sigh, ¡°You have really taken on the wrong task at the wrong time in the wrong place!¡± Da Fei asked in shock, ¡°What do you mean by that?¡± Renior sighed, ¡°This Chamber of Commerce is cursed by the Sea God, taking it over is a mistake. Even if you had to take it over, you should not have done it when you are so weak. And even if you took it over being weak, you should not have ventured into the open sea!¡± Bro, was it not just believing in oneself, just wanting to take a gamble? Could it be that I¡¯ve really gotten in over my head? Da Fei felt a chill in his heart: ¡°Is there any hope?¡± Renior shook his head, ¡°Take a look behind the ship.¡± Da Fei hurried to the window and peered out, only to see the just destroyed ghost ship wreckage slowly gathering again, floating, and a new Ghost Ship was about to form! Da Fei was horrified, ¡°It¡¯s resurrected! They¡¯re practically unkillable!¡± Renior sighed, ¡°Indeed, the enemy is using endless life to wear down your limited one. This must be the legendary Six-headed Sea Demon Scylla¡¯s skill ¡®Dead Sea Maze¡¯. If you, as weak as you are, had come alone, maybe it wouldn¡¯t have forced such a powerful move from it, and you might¡¯ve had a slim chance to escape. But you insisted on having that large fellow ahead as your escort; sorry, but mortals can¡¯t change their fate!¡± Da Fei stood there stupefied! Truly, I¡¯ve gone too far! Renior let out a long sigh, ¡°Now the only way is to make it give up!¡± Da Fei was suddenly taken aback: ¡°Ask him to give up? Baron Coltner? What do you mean?¡± Renior said indifferently: ¡°To be exact, it¡¯s to have him give up his Radiant Wings, that is, to hand over the ship¡¯s certificate of the Radiant Wings to me! Although this is a very impolite request, there is no other way!¡± Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped: ¡°Captain, are you planning to?¡± Renior sighed: ¡°Of course, I¡¯ll try to transform into a Ghost Ship! Only a ship without an owner is convenient to take over. If it is originally my ship, then it should be even easier to take over, right? And I am a novice in this regard, I can¡¯t afford any mistakes. Once I fail, I will lose my strength, then there¡¯s nothing I can do.¡± Da Fei ecstatically said: ¡°So the captain has learned how to become a Ghost Ship! Can transforming into a Ghost Ship break this situation?¡± Renior shook his head: ¡°I don¡¯t know, but I do know that in this domain of death, only the Undead can destroy the Undead! I need to eliminate Undead to enhance my own power!¡± So that¡¯s how it is! The Undead grow by devouring the soul energy of other Undead! As long as one can survive, anything can be managed¨Chope flares up burning brightly! Da Fei quickly called out to the Order Flag Bearer: ¡°Signal to the flagship, I have a great trick¡­¡± ¡­ At this time, in the cockpit of the Radiant Wings, it was a complete mess, putrid corpse fluids and filthy poison gas seeped in from the broken roof, the once luxurious and fragrant cockpit was no more. Little Coltner, with a bandaged head, looked at the huge hole on the deck and the endless Ghost Ships ahead, his face pale as death. He asked Catherine, who was steering: ¡°Beautiful Miss Catherine, is this where our journey ends?¡± Catherine stared blankly ahead, silently and without a word. Little Coltner sighed: ¡°It¡¯s great that I¡¯ve met Miss Catherine at the last moment of my life. How I wish I had courageously and diligently learned¡­¡± Catherine let out a long sigh: ¡°Don¡¯t give up until the last moment, the captain must have a way.¡± Little Coltner sighed deeply: ¡°That famous rising star captain? Let¡¯s hope so.¡± Right then, the Order Flag Bearer rushed in: ¡°Captain, there¡¯s a message from behind, there¡¯s a way through the crisis¡­¡± Upon hearing the Flag Bearer¡¯s message, Coltner was shocked, expressing vehemently: ¡°Give up my Radiant Wings? Turn into a Ghost Ship! No! Never! This is an insult to the Coltner family! As long as the ship is there, I am alive; if the ship perishes, I die. I¡¯d rather sink to the bottom of the sea with the Radiant Wings!¡± And at that moment, a mist flickered in the cockpit, and the ghostly apparition of Renior appeared: ¡°So you still haven¡¯t grasped the true meaning of being a navigator!¡± Little Coltner suddenly drew his sword and blocked in front of Catherine: ¡°Who are you!¡± Renior sighed: ¡°I am Renior, who completed the New World expedition, and I also knew your grandfather.¡± Coltner was totally shaken: ¡°The Renior rumored to have died on Miracle Island?¡± Renior sighed: ¡°It is precisely because you do not understand what it is to be a navigator that you modified Radiant Wings into something absurd. You neither retained the quickness and agility of an exploration ship nor did you have the firepower and robustness of a true warship, plus you added an unnecessary ballroom that further reduced cargo space. If your ship had been fast enough, you wouldn¡¯t have been easily located by the Sea Demon Scylla and fallen into this Dead Sea! This is all your fault!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Coltner was suddenly startled: ¡°My fault!?¡± Renior spoke sternly: ¡°Navigators are not soldiers who see honor as life; the principle of navigators is to survive by any means necessary for the completion of their mission. For survival, navigators endure hunger and thirst, eating rotten food, rats, cockroaches, everything that can sustain life. Even if the ship sinks, they must lead the crew to cling to wood and figure out a way to drift to shore. A navigator must be responsible for the lives of the sailors, because they are the bravest people in the world. Now is the time for you to truly fulfill your duty as a captain, the duty of a navigator. You cannot compound errors upon errors!¡± Coltner was profoundly impacted! Catherine coughed dryly and smiled seductively: ¡°Captain, this gentleman ghost is right. If the captain achieves the honor of a navigator at all costs, that is the Coltner family¡¯s glory. Wealth will roll in, and then you can build several new ships with no problem at all.¡± Coltner came back to his senses and repeatedly said: ¡°Right, right, right! Miss Catherine is right!¡± (To be continued. If you like this series, please vote for it at wuxiaworld.site. Your support is my greatest motivation.

Chapter 214 - Chapter 214: Chapter 203: Reniors Ghost Battleship Chapter 214: Chapter 203: Renior¡¯s Ghost Battleship With the order flag bearer¡¯s report, Da Fei nodded with satisfaction. Good, Coltner is quite sensible. Any normal person would do the same. Considering he gave us the ship, bro, I¡¯ll forgive you. Now all we need is for Renior to succeed. Although I messed up this time, luckily I had Renior as my trump card early on. This must be fate! It has to succeed, it must! The breakout continues, the battle rages on, and the Radiant Wings is completely shrouded in poison fog, with large chunks of shattered wood and ship materials drifting in front of Da Fei. It seems the Radiant Wings is done for. Da Fei, sweating with anxiety, wonders why the transformation hasn¡¯t happened yet. If we keep fighting like this, we¡¯re going to be finished! Could it be that Renior has failed? Boom! Another thunderous crash! A hurtling catapult stone hits the Radiant Wings squarely! ¡ª System Prompt: Warning! The Radiant Wings has been critically damaged and is about to collapse and sink. Please make sure to evacuate the battle or be ready to rescue the sailors! Da Fei, startled, eyes narrowing, thinks: Hey, hey, hey! We¡¯re really going to be done for! Didn¡¯t the transformation actually fail? Bro, even if you failed, at least come back to the sword and give me a grunt! Creak!!! A loud cracking sound comes from within the fog, and Da Fei¡¯s heart leaps to his throat! ¡ª System Prompt: The durability of the Radiant Wings has been greatly restored, and it has escaped the collapsing state! It¡¯s a success! It must be a success! Da Fei finally takes a long, relieving breath! Of course, it¡¯s too soon to be happy now. What we need to see is the power of the Ghost Ship, to see if it can indeed turn the tide and reverse the situation! Da Fei widens his eyes, ready to witness the miracle! ¡ª Boom-pa-pa-pa! Another volley fires through the smoke, and an enemy Ghost Ship shatters thunderously. At the moment of shattering, a puff of green smoke flies from the ship towards the Radiant Wings hidden in the fog! ¡ª System Prompt: The Radiant Wings has sunk a Ghost Battleship, absorbing energy from the enemy vessel. Its durability has been restored, and you have gained 11,800 experience. Oh yeah!!! Da Fei finally can¡¯t help but laugh out loud with excitement! It¡¯s a success! Finally a success! Bro has a way out now! Wahaha! Like a vampire, the Ghost Ship Radiant Wings crazily absorbs the defeated Undead¡¯s soul energy. Its durability continues to recover, its speed keeps increasing, and with its high-speed maneuvers, the catapult attacks of the Ghost Fleet can no longer pose a threat. The poison fog shrouding the ship disperses with the wind, and Da Fei finally sees the reborn Radiant Wings! Under the light of the silver moon, a silver-black behemoth gleaming with the light of black gemstones springs into view! Awesome! Too awesome! In the end, it¡¯s because I¡¯m too awesome! All my adventurous and annoying experiences were worth it! Da Fei finally sheds tears of happiness! The battle below is now without suspense. The Radiant Wings doesn¡¯t need to break through anymore, it¡¯s a one-sided harvest! All these Ghost Ships become its nourishment! Ghost Ships that had their souls sucked out cannot resurrect, and the number of ships on the sea keeps decreasing. In this harvest feast, the heavenly sound of the system prompt arrives! ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia has reached Level 22! Attack +1, Life +2, obtained a free attribute point, and a Skill Point! Wahaha! The poor student finally leveled up two levels and can now learn Master-level Arcane! Come on, your training life has just begun! ¡­ Finally, the last Ghost Battleship was vanquished, and the entire Dead Sea returned to calmness, with countless pieces of broken wood bobbing on the waves. Victory! A complete triumph, wahahaha! Of course, the biggest regret is that Renior is merely a partner and not my Vice Hero; otherwise, wouldn¡¯t my experience be through the roof? Well, a partner is good enough, I genuinely can¡¯t handle any more Vice Heroes, especially after my taste has been refined by those beautiful female ones¨CI truly have no interest in male heroes, and even less so in undead men. The Radiant Wings is now quietly stationed at sea, enveloped by a thick layer of Death Energy¨Capparently a sign of being overfed? Da Fei¡¯s flagship hurriedly pulled alongside, and a bandaged Coltner and Catherine came to the gangway to meet him. Catherine smiled and said, ¡°As expected of the Captain, always finding a way through the crises!¡± Coltner saluted and said, ¡°Sir truly deserves to be called Elorin¡¯s hero. I deeply admire you. If I manage to survive this journey and return, I will certainly compose your heroic saga and spread it far and wide!¡± Oh? Spread far and wide? That¡¯s the old trade of a Minstrel adding prestige¨Cjust what I like! Da Fei laughed heartily and said, ¡°I suggest you write it now, my dear sir. If you happen to meet with an accident, at the very least, you¡¯ll leave a legacy behind!¡± Coltner saluted again and agreed, ¡°Sir makes a good point!¡± Catherine chuckled, ¡°The Captain is just joking. With the Captain¡¯s prowess, Sir Coltner won¡¯t run into any trouble.¡± Coltner sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ve learned a lot from Mr. Renior¡¯s speech just now. After this experience, I think I¡¯ve come to understand what it means to be a navigator, at least to have the courage to face death head-on.¡± Oh? Could this be the rhythm of ascending to a navigator rank? Great, then it would not be as speculated that we would have to fight the Sea Demon. Just at that moment, Renior¡¯s voice echoed from the ship, ¡°Perhaps it¡¯s better not to compose any poems. Having a great reputation without sufficient strength can only bring about one¡¯s own downfall.¡± Da Fei was suddenly taken aback! Right, Renior and I have teamed up to oppose Makar¨Cwhat if the poem spreads and reaches Makar, ruining everything? Da Fei quickly said, ¡°Sir¡¯s words are wise, so don¡¯t compose a poem indeed.¡± Coltner nodded in agreement, ¡°Sir is correct, I will dedicate myself to learning more on the remainder of our journey.¡± Renior spoke solemnly, ¡°Now that the minions are destroyed, the next step is to find the Magic Altar presiding over this Dead Sea Maze. The altar must be located somewhere in the sea. Once found, we must kill the Magician presiding over the altar. Only by doing so can everyone return to the world of the living. However, this Magician might very well be an avatar of the Six-headed Sea Demon Scylla, and is certain to be extremely powerful. Everyone must take this time to rest and make preparations for battle.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei was shocked, ¡°An avatar of Scylla? How strong?¡± Renior sighed, ¡°I don¡¯t know. Scylla is a Demon God from the mythical era; it won¡¯t show its true form to mortals. The deities we see are all avatars, and even as avatars, they are beings mortals cannot easily contend with. However, one thing is for certain¨Cthe recent battle must have depleted some of the avatar¡¯s strength, making it possible for us to defeat it. So the sooner we find it, the better.¡± It feels great to have a knowledgeable navigator as a commentator! But Renior¡¯s so eager for battle¨Ccould it be that he¡¯s eyeing the energy of the Demon God¡¯s avatar? Da Fei promptly said, ¡°Understood, let¡¯s take action immediately.¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 215 - Chapter 215: Chapter 204: The Test of Friendship and Future Chapter 215: Chapter 204: The Test of Friendship and Future Sure, here is the translated text: ¡ª Next up was the search for the Sea Demon Altar. Catherine stayed on the Ghost Ship to steer, while Selvia continued tending to the injured. Da Fei returned to his own boat as a follower. Renior, now in the form of the ship, broadcasted, ¡°Stay close to me, I sense a wave of will hidden somewhere in these waters. It must be Skira! Legend says it has six heads: one dog¡¯s head that can emit a terrifying howl immobilizing its prey, one woman¡¯s head that can sing a song to bewitch the mind, and four sea serpent heads with different abilities: fog breathing, venom spitting, lightning releasing, and ice casting. Its power is weakened now, we must act swiftly! Under the silver moon of the Sea of Death, its power will quickly recover.¡± Indeed, the ability to sense such willwaves is a high-level undead skill surpassing even the God-level Reconnaissance Technique. It¡¯s like entering the radio era when others are stuck in the age of visual observation, truly not on the same level. The presence of the undead really defies the natural order! In fact, Da Fei still had many interests yet to be clarified, such as, what are the Ghost Ship¡¯s capabilities? What is the principle behind making a Ghost Ship? Is a Ghost Ship a ship, or a ghost? If it¡¯s a ship, then a crucial question arises, who owns this Ghost Ship? Coltner handed over the ship document, so it can¡¯t be his. However, Renior and Da Fei are merely allies, so the ship doesn¡¯t belong to Da Fei either. Or perhaps it belongs to no one, as Renior himself is the ship¨Ca ghost using a ship as a body, no different than other undead that use skeletons as bodies? So no one should harbor any improper inclinations towards him? Once again, a thin mist rose over the sea, it¡¯s coming! Da Fei shook his head, deciding not to get entangled in such matters anymore. After all, Renior had given Da Fei a big ship to start, and now returning a ship in return was just right. Not to mention, getting a big ship from a system notoriously stingy would again involve many troubles. It¡¯s all good; with the relationship between Renior and me, whether it¡¯s mine or not makes not much difference, hmph! Renior spoke again, ¡°We are in trouble. Skira has begun to stop us. His apparent purpose in using the mist is to trap us and delay time for its power to recover; we must break through the mist and quickly locate it!¡± Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Can¡¯t the Captain feel its will?¡± Renior sighed, ¡°This entire fog is its will.¡± Sure enough, high technology sometimes is useless; it¡¯s time for my low technology to take the stage. Da Fei hurriedly called Anlicia, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you could easily dispel all sorts of grandma¡¯s illusions? Can you deal with this fog?¡± Anlicia sneered, ¡°Fog, such a low-level thing!¡± Finished speaking, she took out a backpack and from it pulled out a large, buzzing, black-speck-ringed object¨Ca beehive! Da Fei¡¯s face changed drastically as he backed away repeatedly, ¡°How can you have such a thing!¡± Anlicia coldly snorted, ¡°This is a poison and cold-resistant Amazon Bee Queen; their honey is the best beauty facial mask!¡± Watching the bees flying in chaos across the cabin, Da Fei nervously waved his hands, ¡°Alright, alright, quickly use the bees to guide us!¡± ¡°Let me show you my power!¡± Anlicia proudly walked out of the cabin, shaking the beehive. The swarm immediately poured out and flew in all directions. Wow, this is a biological weapon! Her ¡°Hive Queen¡± talent is more than just magic; it is quite profound! Anlicia proudly declared, ¡°Wait for the news!¡± Da Fei nodded in delight! She was truly an Epic Hero; no matter how the combat power, skills were lacking, the key moments could not be matched by the so-called top-tier heroes found in taverns. Moreover, her combat power wasn¡¯t lacking; at least, the Flying Dragon Armor she wore wasn¡¯t ordinary, showcasing her noble temperament! Deservedly my wife, wahahaha! Thus, when playing games, one must play with style. What does style mean? It¡¯s not just high combat power and good equipment; this is style too, but not high-end enough! The concept of style should be like mine, able to solve any problem in any environment! Though luck plays a part, luck is also a form of strength! Speaking of which, my style lacks one more aspect! What could it be? Obviously, it¡¯s missing an Epic Level beauty Vice Hero specializing in Destruction Magic! Though Selvia and Deirdre could learn it, their talent wasn¡¯t oriented toward destruction, leaving many regrets. Alas, this issue is indeed troublesome! Must I visit the Mage Academy? But most women there are Lamp Gods or Elementals, right? I don¡¯t have such a heavy taste! While fretting, good news arrived! ¡°Found it!¡± Anlicia pointed into the mist, in that direction! Da Fei rejoiced, ¡°Haha! Good! Very good!¡± The silent Renior suddenly spoke, ¡°Impressive! Miss¡¯s skills are indeed extraordinary! I will adjust the direction immediately.¡± Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°So, the Captain has been watching all along!¡± Renior chuckled, ¡°You found an excellent subordinate; given time, we will surely succeed!¡± Wahahaha! With these words, I can rest assured! For our anti-horse endeavor, run the trade for me! The fleet avoided one reef after another in the mist, advancing swiftly towards the target. Clearly, Renior¡¯s level of reconnaissance was not low. This is the power of a Navigator Level ghost ship, and simple combinations of mist and reefs are child¡¯s play. If he restores to a hero, what would his power be? A melodious and ethereal song echoed from the fog. Renior said gravely, ¡°It¡¯s the Sea Demon¡¯s Song! Block your ears and stay on your post, keeping calm and rational. Don¡¯t be beguiled by any sound!¡± And at this moment, thump!!! The heavy sound of a piano resounded as Coltner shouted, ¡°Leave it to me! I¡¯ll use my piano to counter the Sea Demon¡¯s Song!¡± The intense piano notes struck, making everyone¡¯s heart seem to pulse with the rhythm of the piano keys! Not bad! This guy finally has a role to play! It¡¯d be best if he leveled up through this opportunity, saving me the trouble of finding Sea Demons everywhere to serve as his sparring partner. Renior encouraged, ¡°Very good! Our fleet indeed has talent! The Sea Demon is right in front; get ready for battle!¡± In the mist, over a dozen gigantic red lanterns, swaying, flickered to life. Da Fei¡¯s screen flashed with red light! ¨CSystem Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Alert! Powerful enemies are lurking in the mist, please be vigilant. Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped, those must be the dozen eyes of Skira¡¯s six heads. Judging by their swaying amplitude, this Sea Demon¡¯s size was shockingly huge! Is this something ships can handle? A majestic voice resounded over the sea and sky once more, ¡°Mortal, you have overcome many obstacles to finally stand before me, showing extraordinary ability. I highly admire this. Join me, and in doing so, you join the Sea God! It is more honorable than pledging allegiance to any mortal kingdom!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Navy Skira invites you to join the hidden faction Sea God Temple, do you accept? ¨CSea God Temple: A religious organization worshiping the Sea God, usually comprised of Sea Demons, Mermaids, and the Naga Clan, along with mortals from the surface world. Those who join the Sea God Temple receive the Sea God¡¯s protection, greatly increasing fish production, sailing speed, and combat power at sea. ¨CSystem Prompt: The Sea God Temple does not conflict with the major divine churches, and joining will not affect the player¡¯s reputation in the surface world. Da Fei¡¯s entire body shuddered, recruiting face to face!! Damn, this isn¡¯t just empty talk! The system prompt has appeared, this is absolutely foolproof! This hidden faction seems very impressive! It appears to have many benefits and no downsides! If I join the Sea God Temple, would the curse on my Chamber of Commerce be nullified? Even if it¡¯s not, I could just start anew, being someone who lives off the sea, I need such an organization! Renior asked coldly, ¡°What if I refuse?¡± Da Fei was suddenly shocked, hey hey hey! Big brother, why wouldn¡¯t you join? The mighty voice sneered, ¡°Is that so? Then I await the young adventurer¡¯s answer! Young adventurer, joining the Sea God Temple is a rare and unattainable dream for many sailors and fishermen. While I¡¯ve yet to change my mind, I give you ten seconds! Don¡¯t forget, you are, after all, my enemy!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Do you wish to join the Sea God Temple? Please make your choice within ten seconds. Failure to respond will be considered a refusal. Damn! This is peaceful reconciliation, missing the opportunity now means it¡¯s gone forever! Da Fei asked in surprise, ¡°Captain, why don¡¯t you join the Sea God Temple?¡± Renior stated coldly, ¡°Friend, I can assure you, the Sea God Temple is indeed the sailors¡¯ unimaginable dream. When I was alive, I too yearned to join the Sea God Temple. Joining it means endless possibilities for your future! Your future path is yours to decide.¡± Skira laughed heartily, ¡°Indeed, joining the Sea God Temple means limitless potential for your future! There are 3 seconds left!¡± Da Fei stood stupefied on the spot! What is this play? Why doesn¡¯t Renior want to join but encourages me to do so? The absolute system prompts wouldn¡¯t deceive me, right? If I join, does it mean going against Renior who refuses? Last 1 second! Da Fei gritted his teeth, making a decision least fitting his nature or perhaps the most unwise: to refuse to join! Skira erupted in anger, ¡°Mortal, you truly don¡¯t recognize what¡¯s good for you!¡± Renior was surprised, ¡°Why give up such a good future?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei smiled bitterly, ¡°I wouldn¡¯t call myself someone who is loyal and could abandon prospects for friends. But I also am not someone who would turn against friends for prospects.¡± Renior solemnly declared, ¡°Very well! Our friendship has stood the test. In fact, my goal is very simple: as long as we seize the opportunity while it¡¯s weak to defeat it, I can be reinstated as a hero, becoming an immortal entity!¡± Only then did Da Fei realize. His thoughts were the same as Deirdre¡¯s! Compared to immortality, joining any religious group wasn¡¯t worth mentioning! However, big brother, your test of friendship shattered my dreams! My future! I¡¯ll trade till the end and for you! Skira laughed maniacally, ¡°Defeat me? Daydreaming! Your friendship game ends here!¡± (To be continued.

But how should they fight? Renior said gravely, ¡°Friend, hide on the other side of my ship; I will face him head-on!¡± It was a necessity! How many blows could this small ship withstand? Da Fei quickly nodded, ¡°Captain, make sure to hold on!¡± As they neared, the full structure of the Magic Altar came into view, composed of six piles of bones stacked from countless skeletal remains. Skira¡¯s gigantic form swayed with four long sea serpent heads stationed at the center of the bone piles, one of which was ceaselessly releasing clouds and mist. Radiant Wings moved forward diagonally, prepared to broadside with cannon fire as soon as it was in position. Da Fei hurriedly followed, sheltering within Radiant Wings¡¯ large ship¡¯s hull. Skira¡¯s three sea serpent heads were raised high, laughing, ¡°How amusing, let me show you my range and attack angle!¡± Boom!! Lightning, ice spikes, and venom rained down, splintering the deck of Radiant Wings, poison smoke rising from three large holes, the venom flowing through the breaks into the hold! The sailors aboard screamed in panic. Da Fei¡¯s eyes twitched in disbelief! The advantage of height made their attack distance substantially longer, and even the ship¡¯s armor couldn¡¯t withstand it! Could they even stand a chance like this? ¡°Mortal, regret your folly!¡± Boom! Another three blasts fell, breaking one of Radiant Wings¡¯ masts, flames of thunderous fire burning fiercely. Only then did Radiant Wings turn broadside, entering its attack range. ¡ª-Boom rat-a-tat-tat!!! Radiant Wings opened all its gunports, dozens of crossbow arrows whistling in vengeance toward Skira¡¯s massive body. Bang bang bang!!! Bone fragments scattered! It was the Undead magic absorbing damage, the White Bone Shield! Skira laughed wildly, ¡°Are these the self-righteous toys of mortals? How laughable!¡± Da Fei was stunned and speechless! They couldn¡¯t win this fight. The firepower between both sides wasn¡¯t even on the same level! Should they just run? But if they didn¡¯t destroy its altar, once its strength was restored, they¡¯d surely meet their end sooner or later. Where could they run to? In the end, were they destined to meet their end? No way! He couldn¡¯t hide anymore; he had to take a shot, alive or dead! There had to be a weakness; all big bosses must have a weakness! Where was this boss¡¯s weakness? Damn it! It doesn¡¯t require much thought; it¡¯s gotta be the head! Aim for the head first! Either it¡¯s that blabbering dog¡¯s head or the still-singing beautiful head! The other four sea serpent heads¡¯ necks were too long and swaying too much to possibly hit, but that beautiful head with its delicate skin sat unmoving on the Sea Demon¡¯s back. That¡¯s the target! But first, don¡¯t ask how to attack; the key is whether his ship dared to show itself. Looking at the smoke covering the battlefield, Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Perhaps, there was only one way¨Cattempt again to combine the Divine Skill Mysterious Stealth Navigation! Didn¡¯t the old lady use fog as her guide initially? Now there was a ready-made fog, and it was quite advanced, a high-class fog that could blind even his God-level Reconnaissance Skill! So, the precondition for combination exceeded standards. Then there was his God-level Reconnaissance Skill beyond mention. Then his Master-level Navigation Skill combined with Advanced Navigator also barely reached Master-level Navigation Skill effects. Then, only two issues remained: One, could he, Da Fei, hold dual-roles? And two, was Alicia, who had just reached Master-level Arcanist, sufficient? Initially, the old lady had a large group of Forest Goddesses assisting in transforming the large ship, but now it was a Medium Ship, would a masterly transformation work? Damn it! Why overthink? Testing would reveal the answer! Da Fei quickly called Anlicia over, seriously saying, ¡°The time to combine your divine skill has arrived; this is not a drill, it¡¯s a decisive battle concerning Radiant Wings¡¯ survival.¡± Anlicia responded with an ¡°Oh,¡± then added, ¡°Actually, if you want others not to see you, the direct method is to blind them!¡± She then took out that large pulsating lump. Da Fei took a sharp breath, ¡°Your bees can sting their eyes blind?¡± Anlicia sighed, ¡°But it¡¯s not a human! I think it should somewhat weaken its vision. It¡¯s just a pity that once a bee ejects its stinger, it¡¯s the end of its life.¡± Damn it! Why didn¡¯t you work harder while young, so that these darling little bees wouldn¡¯t have to die? Da Fei remarked, ¡°Now is the time when sacrifices must be made, in any case, let¡¯s prepare the skills!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have cast Phantom March Skill. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your vice hero Alicia has cast the Master-level Arcane ¡°Illusion Army¡± magic. ¡ª-System Prompt: You failed to combine the ¡°Mysterious Stealth Navigation¡± skill! ¡ª-System Prompt: Your vice hero Alicia received information on Master-level Arcane. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your vice hero Alicia received information on the ¡°Mysterious Stealth Navigation¡± skill. Damn it! Failed again! How could they fail at this critical juncture? But there¡¯s skill information shown! This also means they were on the path to success, which is to say, the system acknowledges his dual-roles! So, the issue was that Alicia¡¯s Master-level Arcane wasn¡¯t sufficient? Perhaps Da Fei¡¯s ship was obstructed by Radiant Wings, not fully shrouded in the God-level mist? At this moment, Alicia sighed, ¡°Actually, in the eyes of the strong, the weak are often automatically ignored. Rather than trying to fully hide oneself, it might be better to divert the strong one¡¯s attention. I mean, Radiant Wings shouldn¡¯t stay put for direct combat; it should move around it, drawing its gaze, while we might be ignored if we stay put.¡± Da Fei clapped his hands suddenly, ¡°Good! It¡¯s precisely my idea to leave the big ship¡¯s cover, fully enter the fog!¡± At this point, Renior also spoke, ¡°Perhaps my decision is a mistake, but I don¡¯t regret it. If we can¡¯t even defeat a weak avatar of a Sea Demon, then achieving our target is impossible. I look forward to you creating a miracle!¡± After finishing speaking, Radiant Wings¡¯ massive form began moving, dragging thick smoke clouds with it. Skira laughed loudly, ¡°You think I can¡¯t hit you while you¡¯re moving? How absurd!¡± ¡ª-Boom!!! With three more loud blasts, Radiant Wings¡¯ aft superstructure was blown half flat! Da Fei¡¯s ship was about to leave the cover of Radiant Wings, enveloped by the advancing fog and smoke! Try again! Success or failure was at stake here! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have cast Phantom March Skill. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your vice hero Alicia has cast the Master-level Arcane ¡°Illusion Army¡± magic.

Watching the ship suddenly turn transparent and the system prompts displayed in a row, Da Fei, tears flowing down his cheeks, embraced Alicia tightly, kneading and squeezing fervently! Haha! Wahahaha! Grandma in Heaven, I have fulfilled your expectations, nurturing Alicia into a poised, pleasant-to-hold, and fragrant promising young woman! (To be continued.

Chapter 217 - Chapter 217: Chapter 206: The Worlds First Person to Kill a Demigod Chapter 217: Chapter 206: The World¡¯s First Person to Kill a Demigod Now, Da Fei¡¯s ship in stealth mode was situated before the sea demon. However, the sea demon¡¯s gaze was drawn to the Radiant Wings on the other side, relentlessly pursuing it and completely ignoring Da Fei¡¯s presence. Perhaps it subconsciously thought Da Fei was following the big ship as well? In any case, the moment for reversal was at hand! But this opportunity was so precious that it had to be seized flawlessly in one strike! The decision was made to advance and attack! The massive hull of the Radiant Wings was blocked by the bone piles of the altar, unable to draw closer, forcing bombardment from extreme range with halved power. But Da Fei¡¯s medium ship was different; it could pass through the waters between the two bone piles to get in close for shooting! At this moment, the sea demon had fully turned, entirely captivated by the Radiant Wings, unable to see Da Fei even if he weren¡¯t in stealth! It was a chance not to be missed! Da Fei, filled with wild joy, excitement, exhilaration, tension, and fear, sailed towards the Sea Demon Altar! Closer now! Entering the Bone Altar! A little closer, a little closer! Sneaking into the village, don¡¯t fire the gun! This feeling was so exhilarating, just like approaching a sleeping lion, making Da Fei¡¯s heart pound wildly, and his cold sweat drip profusely! Suddenly, Da Fei¡¯s screen exploded in red light! ¨CSystem Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Warning! A powerful enemy is nearby, and you have entered the opponent¡¯s alert range! Ahhhh!!! At that moment, Da Fei was almost scared to the point of his heart leaping out! Damn! Calm down, calm down! Steady, steady!! This wasn¡¯t an unfamiliar scenario; back when infiltrating the Demon Race Factory, wasn¡¯t he scared by constant red-light explosions while assembling the Crossbow Cannon behind the Supervisor Boss? As long as its eyes didn¡¯t turn around, it would be fine! Hold on! You must hold on!!! Da Fei gritted his teeth, eyes wide open, as cold sweat poured like rain, his limbs trembling! Da Fei had never thought that a mere game, a mere BOSS, could render him so terrified and so out of sorts! Indeed, like playing the stock market, the fluctuations in the chart each minute and second made stockholders jittery. When the game ceased to be just a game, and numbers ceased to be just numbers, those with vested interests could not remain indifferent. Closer now! Entered the full range! This was the spot! Da Fei, nerves taut, could hardly resist the urge to fire! ¨CBoom pop pop pop! The Radiant Wings fired another salvo at the sea demon, the flying bone fragments suddenly reminded Da Fei! Don¡¯t move! The sea demon had a magical bone shield for protection; could Da Fei¡¯s close-range shot penetrate that layer of bone shield? Da Fei gritted his teeth and decided to wait! Wait for the perfect moment! What was the perfect moment? Of course, it was when the Misfortune Hourglass corrected his luck to +5, plus his Master Level Luck Skill, adding +10 for a 20% critical strike chance, with two special Crossbow Cannons equipped with telescopes firing six successive shots¨Ccouldn¡¯t that blow the head of the demon right off? Da Fei¡¯s Grandmaster Crossbow Cannon firepower was over five times that of an ordinary gunner! Yet, in the end, luck was unreliable; it was still about the earlier experience at the factory with his back to the Supervisor Boss. When his back was turned long enough, didn¡¯t the Boss expose a weakness and get caught by Da Fei¡¯s ¡°Intelligence Analysis¡±? Indeed, this was the moment Da Fei most hoped for! If the previous success was mere coincidence, this time continuing that success was due to experience. Wait! A single second felt as long as a minute! Legend had it that in a Thai zoo, a very thrilling event existed where crocodile handlers pried open a crocodile¡¯s jaws and invited tourists to put their heads inside. The longer they stayed, the more rewarding it got! Many visitors were too petrified to try. It¡¯s only after mustering some courage that a daring tourist would stick their head in, often for merely one or two seconds before recoiling in fright. Now, Da Fei could probably grasp the feeling of staying inside a crocodile¡¯s jaws for one or two seconds! The system¡¯s alerting red light constantly exploded before Da Fei¡¯s eyes, while toxic smoke billowed and flames raged from the Radiant Wings, nearly leveling its superstructure! Wait! The system hadn¡¯t signaled a collapse yet; they were holding on! Da Fei, tense beyond measure, was already numbed! At this moment, under the adjustment of the Misfortune Hourglass, Da Fei¡¯s Luck Value temporarily surged to 10! The peak! It might have been Da Fei¡¯s high luck that finally showed its effect; the Radiant Wings amidst the billowing smoke erupted with rainbow-colored light! ¨CBoom pop pop pop! Another volley of crossbow arrows, blessed by luck, whistled towards the sea demon. The sea demon laughed wildly, ¡°You won¡¯t have a single chance!¡± The sea demon¡¯s body convulsed; a wall of water shot up before it, transforming into a massive water screen to block the incoming crossbow arrows! Da Fei¡¯s eyes narrowed in shock; this guy had such a special move! And at that very moment¨C ¨CSystem Prompt: Your enemy has eased its rear alert. Your ¡°Intelligence Analysis Skill¡± discovered the enemy¡¯s weakness. Now, your attack will ignore 25%-50% of the enemy¡¯s defense. It finally appeared! The guy kept its head covered but left its ass exposed and finally revealed its weak spot? It was like witnessing a glimmer of victory dawn in eternal darkness. The eagerly awaited Da Fei suddenly waved his hand with an indescribable feeling! A rainbow light surged up from the Gun Cabin! ¨CBoom pop pop! Amid the slight tremor of the ship, under Da Fei¡¯s passionate gaze, two crossbow arrows with long, trailing rainbow colorful light whistled toward the sea demon¡¯s hindbrain! ¨CBang! Bang!!! Bone shards flew! Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched! Meanwhile, the sea demon, startled, began to turn its head! The second line of crossbow arrows followed swiftly! ¨CBang! Bang! Amidst the shriek, bone fragments and flesh flew together! Shield broken! The third line of crossbow arrows! Da Fei could finally no longer suppress his excited feelings, clenching both fists and screaming wildly! ¨CBang! Bang! Blood flowers blossomed with a roar! Successful headshot! Oh yeah!!! Da Fei jumped up in wild joy! ¡°Ahhhh!!!¡± The sea demon¡¯s other five heads convulsed fiercely, howling in unison! And at that moment, Alicia, long prepared, patted the hive, sending a dense swarm of bees whizzing towards the sea demon¡¯s five roaring heads! Yet another collective ah! Hive Blindness! Was it successful? No time to check the system prompt; the final battle commenced! Da Fei¡¯s ship moved away from the spot at full speed! ¡°Mortal!!! Go to hell!¡± The sea demon¡¯s dog head screamed in fury, its three snake heads began erratically spraying, indeed blinded! Great! Blinded well! This was the last chance; he had to finish it before the sea demon regained its vision! ¨CBoom pop pop pop! The Radiant Wings fired again! Nearly a hundred crossbow arrows concentrated on the position of the sea demon¡¯s dog head, boom boom boom boom! Bone shards, ice fragments, flesh, and blood flew together! Defense was breached! Finally, completely breached! Boom! White light flashed before Da Fei¡¯s eyes, a lightning bolt boomed down, smashing into the ship with flying wood chips-11200!!! Damn it! Is it blind or not! Still able to withstand two more hits, going all out! The second round of crossbow cannon loading was complete! Amidst icy projectiles grazing the ship, amidst violent water surges, amidst the toxic fog clouding his vision, Da Fei aimed at the frantically howling dog head! Dude, one shot¡¯s power equals five shots from an ordinary gunner! My Grandmaster level dual cannon triple shot equals 30 shots from an ordinary gunner! Bring it on, swallow it all up! ¨CBoom pop pop pop!!! Blood flowers burst, blood gushed like springs, the roaring sound echoing in sky and sea abruptly ceased! Boom! The massive body of the sea demon thunderously collapsed, stirring up monstrous waves! At the same time, a large amount of golden light smoke billowed from the sea demon¡¯s body, flying into the severely battered Radiant Wings. ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! You have slain the avatar of Sea General Skira, achieving a glorious victory. You received +5 million experience points! You acquired spoils of war: the Divine Artifact, Sea Soul Staff, and S-level treasure, Six-headed Sea Demon Ship¡¯s Figurehead. ¨CSea Soul Staff: Divine Artifact, Magic Power +20, Knowledge +20, capable of absorbing the Death Soul of intelligent beings who died at sea.

Compared to this victory, my previous Demon Kindergarten achievement was nothing at all! To announce or not? Definitely announce! I must make up for the missed opportunity of announcing my God-level Reconnaissance Technique promotion last time! Hall of Fame, bringing glory to the nation, attracting sponsors! I definitely can¡¯t click the wrong option this time, wahahaha! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡­ ¨CWorld Announcement in the China Region: Warm congratulations! China Region player Da Fei was the first to kill a DemiGod-level expert and enter the Heroic Creation Hall of Fame! ¨CWorld Announcement: Warm congratulations! China Region player Da Fei¡­ At that moment, Da Fei¡¯s Chamber of Commerce channel exploded! The China Region and World Region all the players were in an uproar! Then Da Fei¡¯s friend list notifications buzzed non-stop! Da Fei didn¡¯t have many friends, but he could guess who they were! Haha! Wahahaha! That was exactly the effect he wanted! Seeking audience, seeking applause, seeking tycoon coverage! (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on . Your support is my biggest motivation.

Chapter 218 - Chapter 218: Chapter 207: The Realm Beyond God-level Skills Chapter 218: Chapter 207: The Realm Beyond God-level Skills Da Fei¡¯s friend list only had 5 people: Lei Huolong, Dragon Scale, Bu Feiyan, Invincible Soldier, Invincible Wei. Mountains don¡¯t have to be tall to be mystical with a spirit, friends don¡¯t have to be many as long as they¡¯re experts! Although my list of friends isn¡¯t long, it does have three of the top people in the China Region, one of whom is a goddess. That¡¯s status, that¡¯s connections. The buzzing messages are naturally from four of them. Ma Yinglong laughed, ¡°Brother Fei, you¡¯re truly incredible to behold! Did you get a Divine Artifact? If you want to sell it, we can talk price!¡± Hahaha, so straightforward! As expected from the chairman, doesn¡¯t waste a word! A Divine Artifact! It had to be a Divine Artifact! Although I didn¡¯t know what soul absorption of this Sea Soul Staff was for, not knowing meant it¡¯s not easy to negotiate its price. Da Fei laughed and said, ¡°Chairman Ma, you¡¯re joking, it¡¯s just a task with NPCs. If there¡¯s good stuff, you¡¯ll be the first to know!¡± Chairman Ma laughed, ¡°With Brother Fei¡¯s word, I¡¯m relieved!¡± A Divine Artifact! My wealth was guaranteed! Could a mere Dragon Slayer afford it? Hahaha! As for the congratulations and concerns from the other three, and the exploding guild channel, I¡¯d just pretend and brush it off. Today, I was destined to make headlines in world news! I had made my mark and glorified my country! Haha! ¡­ With the fall of the Sea Demon, sunlight seemed to pour from the void, illuminating the entire gray and black world of death. The scene changed to a refreshing sea breeze, blue sea, blue sky, and a red sun high in the sky. Back! Finally back to the surface world from that oppressive monochrome world! A distant horn sounded, it was the lost Spielberg! Oh yeah! My team was still there! They had actually been waiting for me! At this time, the damaged Radiant Wings ship was scorched and corroded by lightning, fire, and poison, looking mottled black. The upper structures of the ship were flattened, and two main masts were broken, looking no different from a flat cargo ship. Da Fei rushed over to check it out. At this moment Catherine was directing sailors to repair, clean, and replace the sails, while Selvia was reviving crew and dispersing the Poison Fog. Coltner excitedly climbed up the ladder to greet him, unable to contain himself, ¡°Captain, you truly are incredible! You¡¯re not just a hero of Elorin, no, neither the whole Elf Kingdom nor the whole Alliance could find a hero as great as you, Captain! It¡¯s been my life¡¯s honor to sail with you!¡± These words I¡¯d heard a hundred times, but I¡¯d never get tired of them! Hahaha! Da Fei laughed, ¡°After such intense battles, have you gained any insight into the ways of a Navigator?¡± Little Coltner bowed and said, ¡°Thanks to Mr. Renior¡¯s teaching and Captain¡¯s practical guidance, I¡¯ve learned a lot.¡± At that moment, the broadcast from Renior on the Radiant Wings sounded again, ¡°You performed very well. I think you are now a qualified Navigator. I¡¯m sure my old friend Old Coltner would agree with your current performance. What you need to do from now on is to start from the grassroots, understand the thoughts of the low-level sailors, so you can become the best Navigator step by step!¡± Little Coltner beamed with joy, ¡°Thank you Mr. Renior for the recognition, I¡¯ll go work with the sailors right away!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: You have completed the task ¡°Train Apprentice Navigator Little Coltner!¡± Return to Elorin to receive your reward from Coltner. Oh yeah! The pesky task was finally completed! Now, make sure the journey is safe to keep that little life of his! Little Coltner took out a golden book and handed it to Da Fei, ¡°Captain, this is a small token from me, please accept it!¡± ¡ª System Prompt: You have received the Skill Book ¡°Poetry Chanting¡± given by Little Coltner. ¡ª Poetry Chanting: Can use singing and instruments to perform inspiring battle hymns to boost morale. The higher the Skill Level and the better the instrument, the better the skill¡¯s effect. Sub-skills: Singing Mastery, Flute Mastery, Guitar Mastery, Harp Mastery, Piano Mastery. Hahaha! He really gave it! This is the legendary Minstrel skill! Does that mean I need to get a high-end, classy Divine Artifact piano for the ship? Da Fei laughed and said, ¡°Thanks a lot, I¡¯ll use it well.¡± Little Coltner bowed and said, ¡°I personally think Miss Selvia has a real gift for this. If she learns it, she will likely elevate this skill and even upgrade it to the legendary Hero profession: Minstrel!¡± Da Fei was taken aback, ¡°Skills upgrade to professions?¡± Little Coltner sighed, ¡°Throughout history, many Hero professions have been lost for various reasons, downgraded to ordinary skills. Similarly, skills can be upgraded back to professions, but downgrading is easy, upgrading is hard. Only those of great wisdom can achieve it. I believe Captain has such potential. Now, I must take my leave and get to work!¡± So that¡¯s how it is! Just like how I initially wanted to dual-job as a Navigator. Navigator is an upgraded form of the Sailing Skill, and Artillery Master is the upgraded form of War Machine Science, so Minstrel should also be the higher form of Chanting. This means Selvia can dual-job too! Of course, her talent is ¡°Sea Hymn,¡± obviously suited for singing! So how do you upgrade a skill to a profession? Isn¡¯t a skill maxed out once it reaches God-level? Could it be, at the end of God-level skill is a new profession? Oh crap! A realm beyond God-level! If that¡¯s the case, it truly takes someone with great wisdom to fulfill it! At this time, Renior spoke again, ¡°Friends, in the battle just now, our alliance stood the test, I can entrust my life to you.¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but be delighted, was it a pledge of servitude? Must be! My future demanded your repayment with friendship! Da Fei hastily said, ¡°Captain, please speak!¡± Renior said in a deep voice, ¡°Earlier, I absorbed the Sea Demon¡¯s energy. It has a certain divinity that I cannot understand right now. I need a long time to convert, so I need to sleep again. From now on, I¡¯m just an ordinary ship. I hope you maintain my hull properly, it¡¯ll serve well for trading, or you can retrofit it. Just don¡¯t let it sink, and don¡¯t let those fanatics from the Church of Light discover my true form.¡± Hahaha! This was what I¡¯d been waiting for from you, old brother! Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Captain, rest assured, even the broken ship you gave me before had no issues, you won¡¯t have any either!¡± Renior was relieved, ¡°Then, I wish you a safe journey, I¡¯m going to sleep!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª System Prompt: Renior requested to join your Sea Commerce Association. ¡ª System Prompt: When a player¡¯s Chamber of Commerce President¡¯s reputation is extremely high, or when the player¡¯s friendliness with NPC is extremely high, NPCs can also join the player¡¯s Chamber, NPCs do not occupy player slots in the Chamber. Da Fei¡¯s eyes shrank in shock! Amazing! Truly amazing! Without a ship certificate, the only way to sail someone else¡¯s ship is to incorporate the ship into the Chamber of Commerce, just like a bus company, where the president assigns who gets to be the captain. Now, obviously, I¡¯m going to be the captain! I got another big ship now! Looking at the new ship, Radiant Wings, added to the Chamber¡¯s assets, Da Fei laughed long and loud into the sky! Now, Spielberg was back in the team, and the new sails for Radiant Wings were equipped, the fleet set sail once more! (To be continued.

Mobile users please go to m.wuxiaworld.site for reading.) Chapter 219 - Chapter 219: Chapter 208: Who is the Master of Europe? Chapter 219: Chapter 208: Who is the Master of Europe? Da Fei was right; today, Da Fei was destined to be the headline in the gaming world news. Da Fei¡¯s slaying of a demigod power brought a seismic shift to the entire e-sports professional world. Professional teams from various countries were shocked and scrambled to gather any videos and posts about Da Fei from the China Region forums. The video of Da Fei departing from Elorin Pier was especially scrutinized, studied, and analyzed by teams from all over the world. The so-called analogy was to see if they could receive a task similar to Da Fei¡¯s in their own service region. Currently, Heroic Creation Era has seven service regions, with each region having different maps, place names, and characters. For example, the Human Kingdom in the China Region is known as the Lionheart Empire, while the Human Kingdom in the American Zone is called the Iron Fist Empire. The American Zone¡¯s Great Duke isn¡¯t named Makar and isn¡¯t a navigator. The Elf Kingdom there is called Valoran and doesn¡¯t have Elorin, but does have a port city comparable in status and location, Ailuna. In short, these seven seemingly similar worlds have been tightly calibrated by the host, and the functions and characters of NPCs are completely different. Replicating Da Fei¡¯s success clearly wasn¡¯t easy, but one could undoubtedly glean insights into task strategies from Da Fei¡¯s success. For instance, the Japan region was now trying to replicate the Pool of Radiance campaign. As for the China Region, it goes without saying that many keen players flocked to the Elorin Pier and the harbors of their respective cities, frantically seeking to chat with every Captain. Even ordinary players were rushing to jump in, so it was easy to imagine how eager the major groups aspiring for ocean strategy were. Who was most excited about Da Fei¡¯s achievement? It had to be Da Bing and Da Wei. Da Bing gleefully messaged his buddies in the computer science department, ¡°Da Liu, did you see it? See the world announcement? See the forums¡¯ posts? Now you know how badass Brother Fei is, right? Who would dare to oppose Brother Fei in the entire China Region now? Unless their head got caught in a door! I asked you to join earlier, and now there¡¯s no spot left. Haha!¡± Da Liu sneered, ¡°If I were Brother Fei, I¡¯d only recruit pros, not noobs. Anyways, noobs like me wouldn¡¯t be qualified to stay in a guild with an expert like Brother Fei; I¡¯d eventually get kicked out.¡± Da Bing clicked his tongue, ¡°You think Brother Fei is like you? If your mindset was like Brother Fei¡¯s, you¡¯d be an expert like him already. Your mindset determines your status, understand!¡± ¡°Yeah, right, soldier, you¡¯re Brother Fei¡¯s top red-favored man. I¡¯ll leave you to your busy work. Goodbye!¡± Damn it! Da Bing cursed in frustration. He initially wanted to show off, but it was clear that Da Liu¡¯s words with hidden meanings had spoiled his good mood. What Da Liu said was precisely Da Bing¡¯s biggest fear. He wasn¡¯t exactly a skilled player; would he eventually get kicked out? The key issue was Da Wei, who was dragging behind, knowing nothing and adapting slowly. Completely living up to Da Fei¡¯s term ¡°nursery school.¡± Da Bing lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, falling into deep thought. Did he really understand Da Fei¡¯s character? In reality, everyone in the China Region knew Da Fei¡¯s character, right? Especially that Da Fei recruited so casually, not caring about backgrounds or levels, willing to recruit anyone who sold him goods¨Cthat screamed of a trickster¡¯s characteristics, right? Anyway, he figured he¡¯d better learn to pilot a Medium Ship first, right? In short, he had to double his efforts, particularly in getting Da Wei up to speed quickly. He¡¯d make Da Wei play two accounts through the night! Just then, Da Wei¡¯s phone suddenly rang. Da Wei answered, ¡°Hello?¡± His tone immediately perked up, ¡°Ah!!! Alright, alright, got it!¡± Da Wei excitedly took off his helmet, ¡°Da Bing, I¡¯m off to the airport to pick someone up, so you help me dual-play, okay!¡± Da Bing was stunned, ¡°Are you kidding me?! You didn¡¯t learn anything else but dual-boxing?! I was just about to make you dual-play, and now you want me to do it!¡± Da Wei laughed, ¡°I¡¯ll be quick!¡± He quickly threw on a jacket and rushed out the door. Damn it! . . . . Meanwhile, in London, UK. George VIII, online, urgently convened a meeting of key ¡°Round Table Knights¡± members from the Royal Ark Team in the chatroom to confront the challenge from the China Region. Yes, as soon as someone else¡¯s strength increased, regardless of whether they were friend or foe, or what their strategic intentions were, George VIII saw it as a challenge. Particularly concerning the Royal Ark Team, whose goal was to rule the seas, Da Fei¡¯s dominance at sea made George VIII restless. In fact, George VIII wanted to seize this opportunity to solve a major issue. In Europe, perhaps because the UK is an island, British culture has always had many differences compared to other European Continent countries. So in Europe, the UK always felt a bit like a guest, and this feeling intensified when the UK declined post-WWII and lost its dominant position. The youthful and energetic George VIII was extremely displeased with this. Yes, he wanted to be the host! If he couldn¡¯t achieve it in reality, he had to in the game! If he couldn¡¯t do it in the game, it would be even more impossible in real life. All 12 ¡°Round Table Knights¡± were present in the chatroom. George VIII, game ID: Arthur, opened the floor. Arthur: ¡°Gentlemen, good afternoon. I¡¯m sure you all know the theme of this meeting by now. It¡¯s tolerable for our team to trail behind the China Region, but it¡¯s intolerable to fall behind a single player from China. Once the New World opens, this Chinese player is bound to be a massive obstacle. Although we have Noah¡¯s Ark, let¡¯s not forget the vast number of players in the China Region, especially the Ninth Heaven Guild, which also focuses on navigation. We must go further, establish absolute maritime supremacy. Gentlemen, what should we do next? Share your thoughts.¡± Lancelot: ¡°Your Excellency, Prince, I¡¯ve carefully analyzed that Da Fei¡¯s video. In this operation, he leveraged the power of NPC warships. He himself can only pilot a Medium Ship and definitively couldn¡¯t defeat a Demigod-level power. Although we don¡¯t know the type of Demigod-level power, considering the game¡¯s typical handling, it¡¯s possible that an NPC ¡®mission item¡¯ helped him weaken Demigod power. So, I believe this Da Fei isn¡¯t as much of a threat as imagined. We shouldn¡¯t alter our established development route because of him; we¡¯re already progressing as quickly as possible.¡± Arthur: ¡°However, the rest of the world¡¯s players may not think so, right? At least, our team, no¨Cthe entire European Union Zone still hasn¡¯t seen a player capable of piloting Medium Ships, correct?¡± Bedivere: ¡°I think our Noah¡¯s Ark can¡¯t stay hidden on the island any longer. We should bring it out to serve its purpose, for instance, by taking on various tasks like slaying sea monsters and eliminating pirates to accumulate reputation.¡± Gawain: ¡°No, the Ark is still incomplete. We lack enough resources to sustain this super warship. If we expose the Ark too early, the German War Machine, the French Arc de Triomphe, and particularly the Osman Empire of Turkey, will undoubtedly create trouble for us. Without adequate resources for around-the-clock operation, we can¡¯t risk moving the Ark.¡± Bedivere: ¡°No, no, it¡¯s not that we¡¯re afraid of them; rather, they should fear us! Just like this Chinese player named Da Fei, his numerous shameless scams have made him a national enemy! But what of it? He established an absolute advantage, and everyone who dared challenge him was humiliated. Many started shifting positions to fawn over him.¡± Gawain: ¡°No, our situations are different! Da Fei is just an individual player. The major guilds and large groups in the China Region have predetermined development goals and definitely won¡¯t mobilize for a single player without benefit. But our European Union Zone differs; it¡¯s a contest between nations. Once we win, the benefits are unimaginable. Our Noah¡¯s Ark is akin to a nuclear weapon. Once it emerges, unless it has absolute deterrent power, it would only incite opponents to destroy it regardless of cost!¡± Arthur: ¡°It seems our European Union Zone needs to end internal strife and establish a true leader.¡± Gawain: ¡°Your Excellency, Prince, I understand what you mean, but we don¡¯t possess that power!¡± Arthur: ¡°Indeed, we don¡¯t have that power, so why not think from another angle? Five hundred years ago, our Great Britain was just a barren island unable to rival Spain, rich in colonies. How did our Queen defeat Spain to establish the foundation for the Sun Never Sets Empire?¡± Gawain: ¡°By supporting pirates!¡± Arthur: ¡°Correct! Why can¡¯t we replicate history? Now, players from Spain, Portugal, and Holland dream of their glorious Age of Discovery. However, their national professional e-sports are underdeveloped, and they are few in number, leaving only one path open: piracy. Why don¡¯t we unite with them? We can fund and sponsor them, alliance them with us.¡± Bedivere: ¡°Indeed! Your Excellency, Prince, you make a very valid point. Perhaps the Germans might also woo them, but we have Noah¡¯s Ark, a symbol of leadership; they know on whose side they should be!¡± Arthur: ¡°Moreover, since not a single player in the European Union Zone can pilot a Medium Ship yet, no one presently threatens our Noah¡¯s Ark, do they?¡± Gawain: ¡°But Noah¡¯s Ark¡¯s operation requires consuming resources . . .¡± Bedivere: ¡°If we can secure Britain¡¯s leadership position in the European Union, the initial costs will be worth it. This National War in the China Region happened because we lacked a leader in the European Union Zone, giving the impression of a tourist group. A tourist group can¡¯t slay a Demigod explosive Divine Artifact, so the sooner we establish a leader, the better!¡± Arthur: ¡°What are everyone¡¯s opinions?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Gawain: ¡°I have no objections.¡± Lancelot: ¡°As a user of Noah¡¯s Ark, I¡¯m, of course, eager to begin. Can¡¯t wait to see the day when the Angel Army man the Ark as sailors! Haha!¡± Arthur: ¡°It¡¯s settled, then. It¡¯s time to make Germany, France, and Turkey bow.¡± Inspired by Da Fei, the European Union Zone, which was typically harmonious and served as a model for the soon-to-open Southeast Asia Region, was about to escalate from shadowy disputes among the major nations to open conflict! The bloody war clouds loomed over the ¡°Europe Continent¡±! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit wuxiaworld.site to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.

Chapter 220 - Chapter 220: Chapter 209: The Infighting Among the Desolate Barbarian Pirates Chapter 220: Chapter 209: The Infighting Among the Desolate Barbarian Pirates Deserted Barbarian Pirate Island. Blood Sea Wave¡¯s heart was bleeding. Following Brother Tian¡¯s spur-of-the-moment decision, the Studio folks went undercover in Da Fei¡¯s Chamber of Commerce. He was aware, and under the circumstances, there seemed to be no better way. It was better than just watching their Chamber of Commerce grow stronger. However, soon after, the Studio¡¯s fleet met with one accident after another. What was happening? Was it a special plot event? A game update? Should they continue trading under such risk? Before he could figure things out, a world announcement popped up! Him again! That piece of trash! Everything he achieved today was by snatching God-level Hero rewards from me! This was supposed to be my achievement! He couldn¡¯t wait any longer! Something had to be done on Desolate Island! Blood Sea Wave¡¯s defection plan had been in preparation long enough; it had to be risked no matter what. This was a game; defection couldn¡¯t be achieved by mere persuasion, which would only lower his favorability with the NPCs. Blood Sea Wave needed to eliminate a key person, someone trusted dearly by the Desolate Barbarian Pirate Leader, Rock. He was Rock¡¯s eyes and ears. Because of him, Rock could revel in luxuries without worrying about serious matters. Once he was killed, Rock was bound to realize that things had changed, forcing Barak, the number two, into rebellion. Now that Barak was out patrolling the seas again, this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. Once prepared, Blood Sea Wave headed to a tavern and found an inconspicuous pirate drinking at the bar: ¡°Uncle Jack, I want to invest in the specialty products of Blood Pearl Island, but I wish to see the island¡¯s environment first.¡± The pirate¡¯s eyes flashed as he turned his head slightly: ¡°Money?¡± Blood Sea Wave quickly took out a large money bag: ¡°I have 100,000 Gold Coins!¡± The pirate laughed heartily and extended his hand: ¡°Just leave the money to me. There¡¯s no need for you to go and look.¡± Blood Sea Wave swiftly pulled back the money bag: ¡°No way. Barak said anyone investing should check the site personally to feel assured!¡± The pirate¡¯s face turned grim: ¡°What do you mean?¡± It had begun! Blood Sea Wave said coolly: ¡°Without seeing it, how do I know there¡¯s really a Blood Pearl Island?¡± The pirate retorted angrily: ¡°Blood Pearl Island is a secret specialty site of our Desolate Barbarian Pirates, not just anyone can see it.¡± Blood Sea Wave expressed disbelief: ¡°Barak said one must be careful with investment Gold Coins, especially on this pirate turf, not just anyone can take the money randomly!¡± Upon hearing this, the bartender looked at Blood Sea Wave in surprise. Great! That¡¯s the effect he wanted¨Cwhen the bartender knows, the whole island will soon know. The pirate¡¯s face darkened: ¡°Did Barak really say that?¡± Blood Sea Wave chuckled: ¡°Is it wrong to say so?¡± The pirate glared fiercely at Blood Sea Wave: ¡°Then do you know who I am?¡± Blood Sea Wave chuckled: ¡°Barak said you¡¯re Uncle Jack.¡± The pirate trembled with anger, eyes almost blazing: ¡°Fine! I¡¯ll take you to Blood Pearl Island to see!¡± He then extended his hand: ¡°Give me the money! It¡¯s not for free!¡± Blood Sea Wave handed over the money bag. ¨CSystem Prompt: You invested 100,000 Gold Coins in Blood Pearl Island specialties! Your reputation among the Desolate Barbarian Pirates has become respectable. 100,000 Gold Coins! This was the ticket for this assassination mission! It was all the Studio¡¯s income since the server launched. If it failed, everything done on Desolate Island would go down the drain. The pirate profession qualification might even get revoked. He could only succeed, not fail! Now, the first step to sow discord between Jack and Barak was achieved; it could only be done while Barak was away at sea. Next step¨C The two arrived at the dock and boarded a small boat, accompanied by pirates rowing out to sea. Yes, the next step was to kill him at sea! Only on sea could he prevent him from escaping, leaving no proof of his demise. However, there was a problem. Regardless of Jack¡¯s combat prowess, the key issue was they were on the same faction. Initiating a PK would turn Blood Sea Wave into a red name and potentially trigger a system prompt indicating rebellion, with unpredictable consequences. So, he couldn¡¯t do it himself; he had to let others kill him instead. The boat paddled through the seas amongst the archipelago. Jack didn¡¯t bother speaking to Blood Sea Wave, just drinking rum to himself. As they neared the ambush spot, Blood Sea Wave¡¯s heart pounded. Suddenly, Jack¡¯s eyelid twitched. He turned with cold eyes and asked, ¡°Are those your people? What are they doing there?¡± Blood Sea Wave¡¯s heart jumped. So sharp! I didn¡¯t even see, but he did! Yes, those were the Vice Heroes set to ambush at sea, the Pirate Three Swordsmen! Blood Sea Wave said blandly: ¡°Fishing.¡± Jack coldly retorted: ¡°What kind of fish would be here?¡± Blood Sea Wave started to distract him: ¡°What fish are most common in the Desolate Sea Area?¡± The surrounding pirate rowers laughed heartily: ¡°Of course, sharks and crocodiles! We Desolate Barbarian Pirates, mighty renowned, have fattened up many big ones by tossing corpses into the sea!¡± Blood Sea Wave chortled: ¡°Big ones have more meat.¡± Jack snorted: ¡°How presumptuous!¡± Ha, that¡¯s exactly what I wanted you to say! It showed that no matter how awesome you were, you couldn¡¯t beat sharks. Right, the sharks were the tool to kill. Near! Up ahead, the Pirate Three Swordsmen¡¯s boat towed a baited big fish, rowing desperately, with a great group of sharks chasing fiercely behind. Jack was taken aback: ¡°What on earth are you doing?¡± The timing was perfect. As everyone was distracted by the shark swarm, Blood Sea Wave subtly took a bottle of Corrosive Blood Essence from his pocket and tossed it into the water! Yes, the key to this action was the bottle of Corrosive Blood Essence, a low-level vampire drop the Studio spent heavily on acquiring. Regular players didn¡¯t find it useful, but Blood Sea Wave had a cunning use for it. In a moment, the boat was surrounded by a blood sea! The sharks chasing the Pirate Three Swordsmen¡¯s boat abruptly turned, frenziedly charging at Blood Sea Wave¡¯s boat! Success! Jack was frightened and yelled: ¡°Run quickly! Row fast!¡± Faster than sharks? What a joke! Among the fearful screams, the sharks burst forth¨Cboom! The small boat flipped, and Blood Sea Wave and everyone fell into the water, with a blood-swamped maw rushing at them! Blood Sea Wave dissolved into white light with a grin! Now, Blood Sea Wave resurrected on Desolate Island and, disregarding his weakness, went to the tavern to await further developments. Jack had to die; no human could defeat a shark in water, Blood Sea Wave was convinced of this. Sure enough, when Blood Sea Wave swallowed his third drink, a boisterous NPC pirate stormed into the tavern: ¡°Jack had an accident! He never returned after setting to sea!¡± The whole tavern was thrown into an uproar. And it was at this moment that Blood Sea Wave¡¯s system prompt appeared! ¨CSystem Prompt: You¡¯ve triggered the Epic Quest ¡®Desolate Pirate Internal Chaos¡¯! ¨CTask Hint: Jack, the third-ranked figure in the Desolate Pirates, has suffered a mishap, causing a huge rift in the Desolate Pirates¡¯ power. Major events will occur among the Desolate Pirates. In these events, you can strive to become the new third figure, replace the second, or even become the new Desolate Pirate Leader! Blood Sea Wave laughed loudly! An impossible quest actually came true by his efforts! Suddenly, he understood; the game didn¡¯t have many fixed Epic Quests. Epic Quests were created by players driving the plot! Isn¡¯t it obvious? Of course, my goal is to be the new Desolate Pirate Leader! Da Fei, you piece of trash, wait and see. When I become the pirate leader, the first thing I¡¯ll do is lead my pirate army and strip you down to your last pair of pants! . . . Meanwhile, Da Fei was having an enjoyable chat with Star¡¯s Goddess Bu Feiyan. Bu Feiyan finally logged into the game and sent Da Fei congratulatory messages. Star is primarily allied with the Elf Clan, which excels in mountain and jungle warfare, so they weren¡¯t particularly interested in maritime supremacy. However, since Elorin was ¡°Star¡¯s territory¡± and Da Fei was visiting, they had to make a good impression. In short, Da Fei was now a leader, and leader of the world¡¯s first Chamber of Commerce at that. Star hadn¡¯t even built a Chamber of Commerce yet. Bu Feiyan didn¡¯t mention recruiting him into their Chamber anymore; rather, it was all about mutually beneficial collaboration and communication, and, most importantly, if he had anything to sell, to contact Star. No wonder she was a goddess; Da Fei listened, feeling a warm spring breeze. A man¡¯s intuition told him that the person speaking now and the person speaking that night had to be the same¨Ceither truly a goddess or the same transvestite. Damn, there couldn¡¯t be a transvestite in broad daylight, right?! Damn it, if there really were such an impressive transvestite, I¡¯d accept it! Right then, Da Fei¡¯s phone rang. He checked, ah, it was the bratty girl. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Brother, I¡¯ve boarded the plane and am turning off my phone. Don¡¯t bother picking me up; that¡¯s it then!¡± Hey, hey! Hung up so fast, couldn¡¯t you wait for your brother to say something? Hmph, reporting her itinerary to her brother, after all, a brother with money is on another level. Ultimately, Little Li is subconsciously fond of wealth, ha-ha-ha! I have even more reason to look out for you. In short, as the head of the family, I must work harder and sell more gear. Moreover, I should sell that small Bloodsucking Scroll. As for the Divine Artifact Staff, I genuinely don¡¯t know its use. Until its value is known, of course, it will be self-used. Let Selvia equip it. As for the S-level Six-headed Sea Demon Ship¡¯s Figurehead, naturally, it¡¯s also self-used. Looking around the world, besides me, no player can use it. Its special skill to intimidate sea monsters might be akin to the Level 8 Dragon, which also possesses a deterrent skill, paralyzing lower-level troops with fear. If that¡¯s true, it¡¯s indeed worthy of being S-level. In short, after docking, equip the Radiant Wings. (Weekend home major renovation, so busy, sorry everyone!)(To be continued.

Chapter 221 - Chapter 221: Chapter 210 Little Li Returns to School Chapter 221: Chapter 210 Little Li Returns to School Shendong Airport, Ding Jiali encountered Da Wei as soon as she got off the plane. Ding Jiali protested with feigned annoyance, ¡°I only mentioned it to you, and you actually came to pick me up!¡± Da Wei chuckled and said, ¡°I just didn¡¯t expect you to come over right after the second day of the Chinese New Year, and that too on an overtime flight. That¡¯s expensive!¡± Little Li sighed with a chuckle, ¡°Yeah, thanks to my elder brother, I flew for the first time.¡± Da Wei¡¯s eyebrows twitched, ¡°Is your big brother doing well?¡± Little Li laughed, ¡°He¡¯s been in sales recently and made quite a bit of money.¡± Da Wei nodded solemnly, ¡°I¡¯m going to work part-time during the New Year period too, aiming to make a large sum of money.¡± Little Li was surprised, ¡°What job? What kind of job pays a lot?¡± Da Wei shook his head, ¡°Still researching it with Da Bing, nothing is certain right now.¡± Little Li expressed her surprise, ¡°Da Bing? The careless one from your dorm who often skips class? What can he research?¡± Da Wei coughed dryly, ¡°Exactly because he skips classes often, he has rich social experience and knows a lot of people outside.¡± Little Li said sternly, ¡°Don¡¯t get involved in anything shady, got it?¡± Da Wei hastily waved his hands, ¡°Of course not! How could I! Okay, let me treat you to a meal.¡± Little Li chuckled, ¡°No need, this time I¡¯m treating!¡± Da Wei protested, ¡°How can that be?¡± Little Li glared, ¡°Why not? I¡¯m treating you to xiaolongbao, is that not okay?¡± Da Wei chuckled, ¡°Okay okay, I¡¯ll eat two baskets!¡± ¡°Dare you eat three baskets?¡± ¡°No problem, as long as you¡¯re not pained by your wallet!¡± After the meal, they returned to the university. Da Wei carried the luggage to the girls¡¯ dormitory entrance, then rushed back. Watching as Da Wei headed straight for the boys¡¯ dorm, Ding Jiali was puzzled. Was there some urgent matter in his dorm? Anyway, she had known Da Wei for three years and understood him well enough to trust that he wouldn¡¯t mess around. Returning to her dormitory, Ding Jiali opened the door and was greeted by a sour odor and a small mountain of garbage bags of snacks, instant noodles, and tissues littering the floor. Ding Jiali couldn¡¯t help exclaiming: ¡°Little Fang! You, you, you¨Cwhat¡¯s this¨Cdidn¡¯t you go back home?¡± Little Fang, nestled on the bed, took off her helmet, clapped her hands cheerfully, and cooed, ¡°Lili honey is back! Muah!¡± Little Li angrily exclaimed, ¡°Muah your big head, ghost! You¡¯re almost buried in trash, get up and sweep it away!¡± Little Fang made a funny face and said with a laugh, ¡°Give me 2 minutes!¡± and then put the helmet back on. Little Li sighed helplessly, ¡°You¡¯re impossible to deal with, I guess I¡¯ll clean it up.¡± Little Fang let out a strange chuckle, ¡°Good old Lili, lovely as always, muah muah muah! Tonight, I¡¯ll treat you to a KFC deluxe meal to welcome you back!¡± Little Li, while pressing down on the trash bags, said annoyedly, ¡°What are you playing now? You¡¯re completely absorbed in it!¡± Little Fang chuckled, ¡°I¡¯m not just playing around this time! Oh right, let me show you something, it¡¯s going to scare you big time!¡± ¡°What is it? I¡¯m not interested in your stuff!¡± Little Fang laughed, ¡°Impossible!¡± She took off her helmet, turned on the computer on the desk, opened the Gold Hunting Net website, logged into her account, showed the transaction record, and chuckled, ¡°See what I sold?¡± Little Li leaned in to look, and her eyes widened in shock, ¡°Hero Coin? Sold 50,000 Gold Coins for 10,000 bucks?¡± Little Fang laughed loudly, ¡°What do you think? Flipped a LV bag just like that!¡± Little Li exclaimed in shock, ¡°How is that possible! That¡¯s even crazier than Q Coin!¡± Little Fang chuckled, ¡°It was others begging me in tears to sell it to them. At this critical early stage, Gold Coins are really valuable¨Cpriceless!¡± Little Li was stunned speechless! Little Fang smiled and said, ¡°It¡¯s so lonely playing by myself. It¡¯s great that my wife is here, why don¡¯t you play with me! I¡¯m not asking for much, just keep me company for this holiday, and with my guidance, I guarantee you¡¯ll strike it rich.¡± Little Li snorted disdainfully and stomped on a piece of trash, ¡°I¡¯m not interested. I plan to read some books during the holidays.¡± Little Fang helplessly spread her hands and sighed, ¡°What a lavish and frivolous woman you are. Whoever becomes your husband will surely suffer.¡± Little Li glared, ¡°Hey, hey, hey, how am I being lavish and frivolous?¡± Little Fang shook her head and said with a sigh, ¡°You¡¯re passing up great opportunities to make money and build connections, what a waste! Reading books is something rich bosses do after they¡¯ve made their fortune and start to feel life¡¯s inadequacies, then they go back and read leisurely. You¡¯re already living the luxury boss life without a care in the world, how extravagant is that?¡± Little Li couldn¡¯t help but laugh and retort, ¡°What kind of twisted reasoning and nonsense are you spouting? Are you referring to yourself when you talk about great connections?¡± Little Fang smiled proudly, ¡°Of course, there are tens of millions of people in the China Region, and so many want my help that I couldn¡¯t care less. I am offering you a leg up because you¡¯ve been my wife for three years! Even though I¡¯m just a college girl lying in a pile of trash in the real world, in the Dimensional Space, I am a wealthy landowner with estates and soldiers!¡± Little Li was astonished, ¡°A wealthy landowner?¡± Little Fang¡¯s tone grew more solemn, ¡°Wife, you¡¯ve studied socioeconomics, right? When a society has tens of millions of people, wealth and value will inevitably emerge. Some have the talent and advantage to grab wealth, while others can¡¯t get riches due to various limitations. Do you want to serve your Queen in my world? Or would you rather read books in this trash-filled world and live like a rich boss in advance?¡± Little Li was dazed for a moment, then snorted coldly, ¡°Her Majesty the Queen is quite impressive now, able to create a world filled with garbage all by herself¨CTwo minutes are up, get up and tidy up, Your Majesty Garbage Queen!¡± Little Fang laughed heartily, ¡°Just for that ¡®Your Majesty¡¯ from my wife, I won¡¯t buy the LV bag. I¡¯ll order a load of machines to come over immediately. Her Majesty will take care of you until the holiday ends, mwahaha!¡± Little Li shook her head and sighed, ¡°There¡¯s just no dealing with you!¡± Suddenly she remembered something, ¡°You say this game is so profitable, doesn¡¯t that mean there are a lot of players?¡± Little Fang chuckled, ¡°Not too many, only around one or two hundred million people worldwide.¡± Little Li¡¯s eyes widened in shock again, ¡°One or two hundred million!¡± Little Fang giggled, ¡°But probably only those at the very top like me can make money. Come on, let me put the helmet on you to see how popular the game is.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Hey, hey! Your helmet reeks of sweat! How many days have you been stewing in there without airing it out?¡± Little Fang grabbed Little Li onto the bed with a big laugh, ¡°My beloved concubine, this is the royal fragrance, come here, muah~~ Mwahaha!¡± Little Li cried out, ¡°Hey, hey, ah, your blanket, it¡¯s full of grease! This is unbearable. How many days have you gone without a shower? You¡¯re going to get moldy. Get out in the sun¨CHey, aren¡¯t you listening to me? Your hands stink like green onions, don¡¯t touch my face!¡± Little Fang was engrossed, ¡°Hmm, what name should I give my wife¡¯s account? How about Harem Beauty?

Chapter 222 - Chapter 222: Chapter 211: Perilous Floating Ice Sea Chapter 222: Chapter 211: Perilous Floating Ice Sea Leaving Frostwind Strait, Da Fei¡¯s fleet officially entered the North Sea. As soon as they entered the North Sea, Da Fei felt the chill of the ocean breeze. At the same time, the color of the water changed from deep blue to an icy, bright white. With two of its main masts broken, the speed of Radiant Wings was substantially reduced, but it was still faster than the bulkier whaling ships, ensuring its flagship status remained unchallenged. Even though the ownership of the ships had changed, Da Fei could have moved to a larger ship, but if he did, who would operate his medium ship? Anlicia, without Master Level navigation and Towing, would lag behind, which was absolutely unacceptable. The flagship couldn¡¯t do without Catherine at the helm; Da Fei admitted that his own Ship Control Skill was no match for Catherine, who had skillfully dodged giant waves in storms multiple times and could not replace her. Since Coltner was neither the owner of a medium ship nor his Vice Hero or a member of his Chamber of Commerce, of course, he couldn¡¯t operate the medium ship. Therefore, they could only continue with the lineup as they started the voyage. But this time, Coltner dared not play the piano and hold dance parties to disturb the Sea Monsters. The reason was, having lost the advantage of speed, playing the piano would only expose their position, which would be suicidal. It seems that he actually follows a method to his actions. However, they had achieved the significant victory of defeating the Six-headed Sea Demon, so would the curse of the Sea God give them a brief respite? As night fell, the fleet began to implement light control, quietly advancing in the pitch-black sea. The chill of the North Sea at night was even more severe. And just then, the Chamber of Commerce channel exploded again: ¡°Fuck! Another whirlpool!¡± ¡°Boss! Are you there? Why is it that other merchant players are fine, and it seems like only our Chamber of Commerce members are having trouble?¡± ¡°Boss, can you give us an explanation? Capsizing once for us merchants means total financial ruin, we can¡¯t afford it!¡± Da Fei¡¯s brow twitched; they¡¯ve finally realized something was amiss, huh? Hmph, from the moment you sold your orders to Brother, you¡¯ve been devoid of value to use; now it¡¯s up to Brother whether you stay or go. Da Fei then sighed: ¡°Comrades, there¡¯s no question that our Chamber of Commerce is the number one in the world, but it has not been broadcasted worldwide, do you know why?¡± The crowd was surprised: ¡°Is it a Chamber of Commerce obtained through a task?¡± Da Fei said: ¡°Correct, it¡¯s obtained through a task, one that requires passing tests. I also didn¡¯t know what the tests would be, but now I do. The tests involve killing Demigods, capsizing, and so on. What I want to say is, the future is bright, but the road is rough, there will be difficulties. Whether we can get past them, I have no idea right now; my entire fortune is bet on this Chamber of Commerce. I don¡¯t have the money to compensate everyone for the loss, in short, I understand if you want to go, but if you want to stay, I¡¯m even more welcoming. That¡¯s all Brother has to say.¡± ¡°Brother Fei, can you show us a screenshot of the task, so we can think of a solution together?¡± Da Fei sighed with a chuckle: ¡°Sorry, that¡¯s top secret, brothers please understand.¡± The crowd responded: ¡°That¡¯s true, we have to kill a Demigod for this task, it¡¯s definitely super high-end. Even if we knew, it wouldn¡¯t be much help.¡± ¡°Brother Fei is so awesome, even able to deal with a Demigod, we believe Brother Fei can definitely get through this, and we can definitely endure our losses.¡± Da Fei chuckled and said: ¡°Then thank you all for the support, in any case, Brother thanks you all.¡± ¡°Brother Fei, you¡¯re welcome, you¡¯re welcome.¡± ¡°Brother Fei, take your time.¡± Haha, what understanding and steadfast players, so touching! What the hell was Blood Sea Wave thinking? Sticking with Brother to the end? Seems about right; after all, Brother¡¯s Chamber of Commerce does have the ¡°Favorable Trade¡± special skill to fall back on, even if they lose a ship or two of goods, they can withstand the loss. Fine, if you can withstand it, Brother definitely has to hold on. That means, even though Brother achieved victory against the Sea Demon, it still won¡¯t mitigate the curse. Brother has to be extremely careful; just entering the North Sea, the real trials are only beginning. ¡­ Three days passed without incident. The cold wind grew harsher, and Da Fei and the sailors all changed into the winter clothing they had prepared before setting out. Bits of floating ice begin to appear sporadically in view. Da Fei¡¯s brow tightened; this must be the North Sea floating ice that Makar mentioned, right? It becomes quite a problem at night, one careless move and you¡¯re the next Titanic! At that time, we must slow down! Damn, if we reduce speed, then Brother¡¯s Grandmaster sailor advantage is not so great anymore, is it really as the fat officer said, that we¡¯ll take a month to reach our destination? This is completely exhausting battle tactics for players. The further north they went, the more the icebergs appeared. The so-called tip of the iceberg, what we can see above water is only one-tenth of the entire iceberg. These floating ice are like moving reefs in the sea, and if struck, the journey is OVER. Now, the problem is not just about reducing speed affecting the voyage. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Night fell once more, and this time, it was necessary to use lights. Now, Da Fei deeply realized how serious the problem was; not fast enough, and daring to turn on lights, what kind of move was this? Sure enough, the Order Flag Bearer came in to report: ¡°Captain, the flagship has sent instructions, reminding us to be vigilant.¡± Da Fei waved his hand: ¡°Got it.¡± As a high-end player, Da Fei couldn¡¯t naively think that the mission was just about dodging icebergs; he must prepare for the possibility of a Sea Monster attack. In this Floating Ice Sea Area, the fleet has no maneuverability to speak of, effectively a sitting duck for Sea Monsters. As a navigator, how should he deal with this? Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Chapter 211: Perilous Floating Ice Sea_2 Chapter 223: Chapter 211: Perilous Floating Ice Sea_2 Da Fei thought once again of Grandma Anwen. At that time, the old lady was capable of everything and taught this newcomer, himself, so much. As for now, in Heaven, it¡¯s my turn to teach Anlicia! Da Fei called Anlicia over again, and said seriously, ¡°You are now a Master-level Arcanist. Do you have the confidence to reach Grandma¡¯s level?¡± Anlicia sighed slightly, ¡°Not confident.¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but shake his head and sigh. It made sense. The old lady was a Druid Mage profession, automatically gaining knowledge with each level up. Her vast Mana Reserve created miracles again and again. But Anlicia was a Ranger, a warrior profession! Getting a warrior to do a Mage¡¯s work¨Cisn¡¯t that just asking for trouble? Da Fei asked, ¡°The Master-level Arcane Spell ¡®Summoning Mist¡¯ is a very important magic, have you mastered it?¡± Anlicia spread her hands, ¡°I¡¯ve mastered it, but I can¡¯t use it. Summoning Mist requires 150 mana, and I only have 50.¡± Whoosh! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of old blood, ¡°Then what about Summon Phoenix?¡± Anlicia sighed, ¡°Also out of mana, in short, don¡¯t even think about Master-level magic. Summoning Water Element is still possible.¡± Darn it, screwing over Grandma and Dad! The key was her nonchalant tone, just like when I declared to my PE teacher back in the day, ¡®I just can¡¯t pass math, do whatever!¡¯ However, there¡¯s never a student without ability, only teachers without ability. My achievements today deeply prove this adage once again! Alright, Grandma from Heaven, you¡¯ll see, I¡¯ll repay your teaching kindness by training Anlicia into a talented individual proficient in both magic and combat! Da Fei began to carefully check Anlicia¡¯s attributes. Truth be told, since joining the team, Da Fei hadn¡¯t really studied her attributes carefully. ¡ª-Anlicia: A gifted Elf girl since childhood, granddaughter of Professor Anwen. Spoiled by elders, she has no desire to follow the rules, unskilled and causing her elders much distress. Personality: Rebellious, active, lively Level: 24 Profession: Advanced Ranger Special Talent: Hive Queen. The Hero¡¯s ¡°Swarm Disturbance¡± magic increases its damage effect with level and has a chance to induce a blinding effect. Command Power: 37 Attack: 14 Defense: 49 Magic Power: 5 Knowledge: 5 (50 mana points) Life: 88 Damage: 20-25 Attack Speed: 13 Move Speed: 14 Equipment: Oak Longbow (+5 Personal Damage), Flying Dragon Armor (+35 Personal Defense) Stamina: 78 Skills: Master-level Arcane Magic, Intermediate Meditation Skill, Intermediate Attack Skill, Intermediate Arrow Skill, Basic Luck Skill, Basic War Machine Science, Basic Leadership Skill, Intermediate Defense Skill, Basic Logistics Skill, Basic Reconnaissance Skill, Basic Navigation Skill. Remaining unassigned attribute points: 4 points, free skill points: 2 points. ¡­ Level 24, 14 Attack! I get it now, this kid hasn¡¯t added a single point to attack since birth! These 14 attacks are from progressing from level 10 to Ranger, with automatic additions per level. So, where did her first 10-level points go? 5 in Magic, 5 in Knowledge? Or 10 in Defense? Isn¡¯t this nonsense? What kind of Ranger doesn¡¯t add to attack? And she hasn¡¯t even learned the essential skill Hate Memory for a Ranger¨Ccalling that awesome? Wait, where¡¯s her loyalty attribute? Suddenly, Da Fei noticed she, like Deirdre, also had no loyalty attribute! Darn! Now Da Fei realized the seriousness of the issue! Why are you so darned awesome? Turns out it¡¯s because you lack a loyalty attribute, meaning you could ditch me any time, no wonder you¡¯re so awesome! Rebellious nature explains it all! In an instant, Da Fei was drenched in cold sweat! After all, heroes like her and Deirdre in trials or training have failure penalties¨Closing the hero! Damn! And I put on airs and scolded her that day? From now on, can I even dare to scold her? If she leaves while other pretty Vice Heroes are waiting for me at the bar, it would be devastating! No way! From now on, I absolutely can¡¯t make her angry! I need to talk with her, I need to comfort her! I need to open her heart! Watch me! Da Fei sighed with emotion, ¡°Actually, from the day I saw you using bees to scout the enemy, I knew you were a real genius. You said you didn¡¯t like being a Druid, but I could also tell you don¡¯t like being a Ranger either, is that right?¡± If you liked it, you would¡¯ve added to attack! Anlicia frowned and pouted, ¡°What are you trying to say?¡± Your arrogance shatters my heart! Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Whether a Druid or a Ranger, neither suits you. To be precise, they don¡¯t match your genius. You need to create a profession, one that belongs only to you!¡± Anlicia chuckled, ¡°What kind of profession would suit me?¡± Oh yes! That¡¯s the right cue! Keep going! Da Fei cleared his throat, ¡°An Arcanist! A realm surpassing Master-level Arcane, beyond God-level Arcane skills! A realm where skills are elevated to professions!¡± There¡¯s no choice¨CI¡¯m in desperate need of an Arcanist and can only push her in that direction. Since there are sets like Artillery Master, Navigator, and Musician, there might be an Arcanist class in the game, right? Anlicia giggled, ¡°Arcanist? Never heard of it. Why should a Ranger like me develop in Arcane?¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Because after failing just once, you successfully comprehended Master-level Arcane. That¡¯s genius!¡± Anlicia shook her head proudly, ¡°I surely know I¡¯m a genius. Perhaps I could comprehend other Master-levels without even needing to fail? Why choose the Arcane, which doesn¡¯t match my profession?¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Because of love! Your dedication to mastering the Arcane is a testament to your profound love!¡± A more important reason is that all her other skills are at a basic or intermediate level, while her Arcane is advanced! That says something, right? Anlicia was momentarily surprised! Oh yes! That seemed to hit her soft spot! I¡¯ll keep scratching that itch! Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Of course, for a genius like you, for long-lived Elves, there¡¯s plenty of time to delve into learning. Once you master the hardest Arcane, everything else will naturally follow.¡± Anlicia laughed heartily, ¡°Captain, it¡¯s amusing how you can joke about these unrealistic things now. Since Grandma appreciates you so much, teach me what to do now?¡± Finally, back to the matter at hand. Da Fei nodded, ¡°Though you cannot currently cast Master-level spells, you can still use Illusion Army magic. I need you to use it to duplicate our ship as bait to attract the Sea Monster¡¯s attack. Grandma¡¯s illusions could move, so my basic requirement for you is to create a movable Illusion Ship.¡± Anlicia responded, ¡°Will this work?¡± Da Fei shook his head and sighed, ¡°Yes, Grandma used this trick to create incredible miracles and ultimately won the war victory.¡± Anlicia chuckled, ¡°What if I create something more powerful than this trick?¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped. She could create new moves? Damn, self-inventing? This is absolutely a talent for establishing a whole new school; maybe she really can become an Arcanist? Da Fei said excitedly, ¡°You must! You¡¯re a genius!¡± Anlicia laughed heartily, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll have some quiet time alone!¡± Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Work hard, I believe in you!¡± Indeed, geniuses need encouragement! Now, there¡¯s nothing else to say: unassigned attribute points to Knowledge, skill points to upgrading Meditation. Let this Ranger progress further down the path of spells, towards the realm of both magic and combat proficiency! ¡­ The first night in the Floating Ice region passed peacefully yet anxiously. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The next day arrived, and Da Fei was once again stunned by the sea conditions before him. The sea surface was densely packed with floating ice! The massive hull of Radiant Wings was navigating through the narrow gaps of moving ice like walking a tightrope! So the difficulty of this floating ice was this high! Won¡¯t we be screwed if the ship¡¯s steering capabilities aren¡¯t up to par? And at that moment, Da Fei¡¯s screen flashed red! ¡ª-System Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A strong enemy is approaching your fleet, please be sure to stay vigilant! Da Fei¡¯s heart thumped! What¡¯s coming finally arrived! (To be continued.

Chapter 224 - Chapter 224: Chapter 212: New Divine Skill: Skira Illusion Chapter 224: Chapter 212: New Divine Skill: Skira Illusion As the unknown enemy approached, the entire fleet immediately prepared for battle. A faint red dot appeared on the edge of Renior¡¯s radar, then it vanished. No need to guess, a diving sea monster! A surface fleet¡¯s greatest fear was a diving sea monster! In such situations, Granny had once demonstrated a method: releasing the Illusion Army magic in the fog to lure it out of the water, followed by a crossbow cannon strike to destroy it. Now the task of releasing the lure fell on Alicia. But there was no fog now, and the area was covered with floating ice, making the lure¡¯s effectiveness and placement problematic. If the lure failed, in this narrow ice-blocked sea area, the fleet would be like an eel in a pipe, with no room to maneuver, completely being a sitting duck. Such treacherous waters! Gazing at the deceptive sea, cold sweat dripped from Da Fei¡¯s brow as he asked Alicia beside him, who was solemnly silent, ¡°Are you ready? The sea monster should be very close to us now.¡± Alicia grimly replied, ¡°The terrain is too bad. To use the lure effectively, we must place the illusion beside us so the gun cabin at our ship¡¯s side can exert its power. But now, we can only place the illusion behind our ship¡¯s route, which is useless!¡± Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened, indeed! He quickly asked, ¡°Didn¡¯t you say you created a new magic last night? Can you try it?¡± Alicia flicked her eyes sideways: ¡°That¡¯s what you said, if it fails, don¡¯t blame me!¡± Darn it! Learning to dodge and shirk responsibilities at such a young age! Da Fei anxiously said, ¡°At this point, whether it works or not, we have to try!¡± Alicia nodded, ¡°Alright, my new arcane is an inspired variant of Mysterious Stealth Navigation, so the Captain must also participate; just do what the Captain is supposed to do, Captain, start now!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched! A modified Mysterious Stealth Navigation? Damn! Is imitation really the mother of innovation? Without further thought, Da Fei immediately got to work. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have used the God-level Reconnaissance Technique skill ¡®Phantom March¡¯! The figures of all sailors on the ship suddenly faded, then Alicia emitted magic light from her hands, Da Fei¡¯s vision blurred sharply, feeling as if the ship under him twisted and expanded like a balloon in an instant! ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia cast an unknown arcane magic on the ship you are on! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have combined a new, unnamed magic skill! You have obtained information about a new magic skill! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have acquired information about the Master-level Navigation Skill. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has acquired information about God-level Magic. ¡­ Watching a series of system prompts scrolling on the screen and the incredible scene before him, Da Fei was stunned with mouth agape! Da Fei¡¯s ship was transformed by her into a swaying monster! If I¡¯m not wrong, this monster looks like the Six-headed Sea Demon Scylla? A much smaller-sized Scylla, entirely in yellow and white stripes! That¡¯s the yellow-brown color of the ship¡¯s wood and the white color of the sails! Darn it! So her new skill is Transformation Skill? And combining this skill actually triggered Master God-level skill information, which is undoubtedly a God-level skill! So, what¡¯s the use of this skill? Da Fei asked, surprised and delighted, ¡°You mean, transform into a sea demon to scare away the sea monster?¡± ¡°Ice Fruit!¡± Alicia laughed uncontrollably, excited, ¡°Replication successful! This is called subduing the enemy without fighting! Hahaha!¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but become excited, ¡°Can it scare it away?¡± Alicia chuckled darkly, ¡°Who knows? It claims to be the Sea General, it should have some dignity, right?¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly with enthusiasm, ¡°Yes, Scylla¡¯s ship¡¯s bow seems to have the function of deterring sea monsters, it should be quite dignified, right?¡± At this moment, the red light flashed again on Da Fei¡¯s screen! ¨CSystem Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Warning! A hidden enemy is about to appear! Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened, Alicia¡¯s expression changed, could it not be working? At this moment, a large red dot appeared at the fleet¡¯s rear and surfaced with a gigantic octopus! Da Fei¡¯s eyes shrank! The legendary giant octopus! This is trouble; countless terrifying tales circulate among sailors about giant octopuses! Even in the steam wheel era, octopuses are still a horrifying movie theme. In short, the octopus¡¯s strength in the game is definitely not weak. In fact, given the fleet¡¯s current situation, fighting any sea monster would have little chance of winning, let alone a terrifying sea monster like an octopus that could easily flip and drag a big ship down! At this moment, the octopus was lingering far behind the fleet, keeping a certain distance, clearly afraid to approach, indicating that this illusion had some effect! The problem is it could only deter but not scare away, which was useless! Indeed, Alicia sighed, ¡°I tried my best, the illusion won¡¯t last long, the Captain should prepare for battle. I think we¡¯ll use this medium ship as bait; when the octopus attacks this ship¨Cfire at me!¡± Da Fei sighed deeply too. Looks like this is the only way? When the S-level difficulty chamber commission merges with the epic-level chamber task, the devastating scene unfolds! This might really not survive; Da Fei had to make the worst plan. Although surviving great storms as a demigod and then capsizing in an ice channel is disturbing, having gotten this far due to Renior¡¯s unexpected aid, Da Fei¡¯s journey should have already ended then. As for now, having acquired the Divine Artifact and new God-level skill information, gains were bountiful no matter what, with no regrets left. So now, the consideration is to sacrifice the pawn to save the king, fight if able, otherwise allow the Radiant Wings ahead to escape, ending this troublesome chamber mission here. Let it fend for itself. Da Fei decisively called the Order Flag Bearer: ¡°Order the flagship to prepare to retreat and jettison all cargo in the hold.¡± Just then, a deep piano tone suddenly struck, resonating throughout the ethereal, silent ice ocean! Da Fei¡¯s heart trembled, what¡¯s happening? ¨C¡°Tiny existence, begone!!!¡± Amid the piano resonance, a robust voice echoed through the ice ocean! Da Fei was shocked, jaw-dropping in fright, what is this? Skira¡¯s voice? And at that moment, the octopus suddenly turned, its massive eight arms springing like towering pillars, spraying water dramatically, retreating like a torpedo and disappearing instantly at the radar¡¯s end! ¨CSystem Prompt: The enemy has fled the battlefield! You gained 200,000 combat experience! It ran! It got scared away!!! Da Fei and Alicia stared at each other in shock! Then voices of joyous cheers came from the Radiant Wings! Da Fei finally came to his senses: ¡°Coltner! It must be Coltner! Incredible, so amazing! Hahaha!¡± Alicia too regained her senses, laughing heartily, ¡°Got it! Just visuals are not enough; you need a sound for authenticity!¡± Da Fei hastily said, ¡°Yes, yes, this combination skill requires another person, a poet! Quickly!¡± Scaring this monster away earned 200,000 experience, indicating the monster¡¯s daunting strength! This was completely a mistake from picking the wrong mission at the wrong time, creating the wrong enemy, not manageable by current players; should real fighting occur, it would result in a likely team wipe! This God-level frightening skill provided robust assurance for this journey, compelling full development of this skill by me! Now, Da Fei¡¯s ship was docked onto the Radiant Wings. Catherine, Selvia, and a smug Coltner stood by the ladder to welcome, ¡°Welcome, Captain, under your leadership, we have once again triumphed over a great crisis!¡± Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°Good job everyone! Especially the Baron, you are truly remarkable, so clever, how did you do it?¡± Coltner took out a megaphone, shaking his head with a smile, ¡°I vaguely remember Skira¡¯s voice, then using the shock effect of the Poet¡¯s Sound Skills for enhancement, it¡¯s just a minor trick not worth mentioning. The key point is, how did the Captain transform the ship into a sea monster? It¡¯s truly incredible; even though I¡¯ve interacted with many mages in the city, this magic was unheard of.¡± Alicia proudly said, ¡°Actually, this magic is the Illusion Army.¡± Da Fei was startled, ¡°The Illusion Army can transform into a sea monster? The system prompt clearly said unknown magic!¡± Coltner incredulously said, ¡°Unheard of!¡± Alicia laughed heartily, ¡°The so-called Illusion Army magic requires a reference object to replicate its image with magic power, right?¡± Coltner nodded, ¡°Indeed, this reference can be an army or an item, but there must be a reference object. How did the miss cast Illusion Army without a Skira reference present?¡± Alicia said proudly, ¡°The reference is in my mind! Just like you remember Skira¡¯s voice, I remember Skira¡¯s appearance, I used magic to replicate the appearance from my memory of Skira!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched! Remembering so accurately allows direct replication? That means no need for a reference! Coltner was even more shocked, ¡°Genius! The miss is a genius with extraordinary memory! One misstep in reference reproduction and the spell fails! That¡¯s why low-level arcane skills can¡¯t copy large targets, meaning the miss fully comprehended Skira¡¯s appearance?¡± Alicia smiled wryly, ¡°To be precise, the fear it instills is engraved in my heart, when I close my eyes, I seem to see its appearance again. Sometimes, having a good memory isn¡¯t always an advantage. Of course, the replica isn¡¯t perfect, I can¡¯t quite recall its underwater body, I successfully supplemented it through imagination. The spell wasn¡¯t very rigorous, or else I would have pioneered new magic.¡± Da Fei suddenly understood, ¡°I see!¡± Coltner was stunned, ¡°Success through imagination? That¡¯s truly a talent¡¯s feat! Imagine, once the miss masters this ability, she could casually conjure monsters from her imagination to frighten others! Once she reaches the legendary God-level Arcane realm, she can use magic to materialize illusions; then the illusion has substance and attack power!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched! Yes, the sub-skills of God-level Arcane include ¡®Materialization¡¯. At that time, illusions will no longer be illusions but will be tangible, with flesh and blood, possessing attacks! If Alicia really can conjure all sorts of attack-capable monsters at will, wouldn¡¯t that be mind-blowing? Alicia, however, dismissively laughed, ¡°Materialization is all flair; rather than using massive magic power to materialize an illusion, I might as well summon more elemental troops¡­¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Even dismissing God-level skills, why are you so outlandish? Wait, Da Fei became alert abruptly; something¡¯s off with this Coltner! What¡¯s off? Why are his questions so profound and insightful, catering to interests precisely? One, to flatter my beauty, curry favor, and charm the lovely lady! Two, to probe my academic secrets! My academic secrets only a genius can wield, insignificant for probing, but my lady¡¯s charm, no flattery allowed, only mine! Anyway, now it¡¯s time for serious discussions! That¡¯s about combining new God-level! Actually, there¡¯s not much to elaborate on the combination, right? Just act as a good voice-over when the illusion emerges, maybe? (To be continued.

Chapter 225 - Chapter 225: Chapter 213: The Octopus Monster that Returns Chapter 225: Chapter 213: The Octopus Monster that Returns The heroes are divided into three types based on their roles. The first type is Strategic Heroes, usually referring to heroes who have special talents in managing lords. National war is all about national power, and warfare is about consumption; strategic heroes truly reflect strength in the later stages. The second type is Tactical Heroes, who have the ability to determine the direction of a battle. The third type, and the most common, is Battle Heroes, who determine the victory or defeat of a fight. Currently, international players favor Battle Heroes, as those with extraordinary talents are often dubbed ¡°God-level Heroes.¡± Indeed, a good start is half the battle; only robust initial development can gradually accumulate the tactical and strategic advantages of the mid-to-late stages. This is a three-step process. Of course, the vast majority of players remain stuck in the grunt work of Battle Heroes. Clearly, Da Fei had already reached the second step, entering the era of Tactical Heroes! Alicia was Da Fei¡¯s Tactical Hero. Her value lay in winning without a fight and using the weak to overcome the strong! In online game terms, it¡¯s like ¡°defeating a boss above your level,¡± ¡°taking quests higher than your level,¡± and ¡°zero-kill clearance,¡± realms that so-called God-level Battle Heroes could not reach. So now, Da Fei definitely was all-in on cultivating Alicia. Since her knowledge and magic power were severely lacking, he reluctantly decided to have the Little Nun sacrifice and hand over the Divine Artifact Wand to Alicia for now. With an additional 20 points in magic power and 20 points in knowledge, it equated to an attribute point gain worth 20 levels for an average Magic Hero. The improvements were unimaginable. All sorts of summoning spells like Summoning Mist, Summon Phoenix, Summon Earthquake, and those of Master-level Mages could now be utilized. Honestly, why hadn¡¯t he thought of changing her outfit last night when she said she ran out of mana? Probably because they weren¡¯t on the same ship, and he didn¡¯t consider that strategic weapons have no class restrictions. Da Fei opened the Vice Hero equipment bar to start the gear change. Hmm? Couldn¡¯t retrieve the equipment? What¡¯s going on? Da Fei looked in surprise at the blonde Little Heart, who was nervously clutching the Magic Wand, glaring at him. What was this! Da Fei chuckled and said to Selvia, ¡°What¡¯s going on? I¡¯m just swapping gear.¡± Selvia shook her head and questioned, ¡°Why swap with her?¡± ¨CAh poo! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of blood! Was this a joke? A Vice Hero defying a player¡¯s gear change command! Such a thing was unheard of! No, wait, this happened before! When Da Fei first recruited Catherine, he had tried to strip her of her sexy leather armor for his own pleasure, but she laughed it off, and he didn¡¯t pay much attention at the time. So Vice Heroes could defy a player¡¯s gear change requests! Indeed, if a Vice Hero possessed any personal items and a player attempted to take them, the Vice Hero would immediately turn hostile. This was something that the official data had warned about. Could it be that Selvia resisted Da Fei¡¯s gear change because she couldn¡¯t part with the Divine Artifact? Da Fei quickly opened Selvia¡¯s attribute bar to see, loyalty 100!!! Ah poo! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of blood again! The power of the Divine Artifact! It had to be the power of the Divine Artifact! When players met other races and other factions¡¯ top-tier heroes in taverns, and they couldn¡¯t win them over in any way, there was always an ultimate move: give them treasures! The higher the level of the gift, the more likely the other side would give in, while the given treasure would become the hero¡¯s personal item, sacred and inviolable. This was the same trick Da Fei used when he gave the telescope to Catherine. If a high-level treasure could have such a magical effect, what about a Divine Artifact! The problem is, my dear, this is just on loan to you, not given to you, so it¡¯s not your personal item, right? How could you do this to me? In other words, is this the charm of a Divine Artifact, igniting the possessive desire of Vice Heroes? Is this a preset feature of the Divine Artifact? Was there any introduction on the official website? No, right? Or is this Divine Artifact very special? Dang it, once you accept this design, it¡¯s quite a headache! Da Fei had no choice but to continue smiling, ¡°This is just a temporary requisition, Selvia darling¨C¡± Selvia interrupted, ¡°I am not a child. Captain, don¡¯t you think it¡¯s a waste for a Ranger to use a magic artifact?¡± Da Fei was stunned! This kid was angrier than when he caught him flirting with the Banshee! Could the power of the Divine Artifact be so great as to corrupt a Nun? What if he forcibly removed her Divine Artifact? Da Fei couldn¡¯t even imagine! It might cause loyalty to plummet! Da Fei didn¡¯t dare to take that risk. He could only sigh heavily, ¡°Alright, alright, I¡¯m in the wrong. It¡¯s most suitable for you to use it.¡± But Selvia¡¯s eyes reddened and reluctantly handed over the Magic Wand, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, it¡¯s my fault. I shouldn¡¯t have defied Captain¡¯s orders.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have removed Vice Hero Selvia¡¯s equipment ¡°Sea Soul Staff.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Selvia¡¯s loyalty has decreased to 70 points. Da Fei was stunned on the spot! Her loyalty had indeed dropped! Alright, alright, this kid was still sensible. Da Fei quickly patted her head to comfort her, ¡°Don¡¯t worry. When I, Captain, slay a few more demigods, any magic artifacts will definitely be prioritized for you!¡± Selvia tilted her head, frowned, and said, ¡°Captain, could you please stop patting my head? I¡¯m not a child.¡± Huh? This attitude and tone seemed to return to normal, huh? So what happened just now? Was it a special scenario triggered by the Divine Artifact? Da Fei curiously examined the wand, which was shaped like a sea beast¡¯s bone claw holding a white glass ball, and couldn¡¯t see any underlying meaning. Anyway, it was time to get to work. Da Fei returned to his ship, and the fleet continued moving forward. Once back on the ship, Da Fei equipped Alicia with the Divine Artifact Wand and watched her reaction intently. ¡°So this is a Divine Artifact? Is there anything special about it?¡± Alicia twirled the wand with great interest, swung it around making a whooshing sound, clearly not as reverent as Selvia. That was her reaction? Alright, fair enough. Da Fei was afraid of being alarmed and would prefer no special occurrences at all. In any case, with the Divine Artifact in hand and abundant mana, the next step was to accompany her in practice, repeatedly, until fully developing the complete version of Skira¡¯s Illusionary Magic. The day magic succeeded would definitely be when God-level Arcane was advanced! It would also be the time Da Fei Master comprehended Navigation Skills! Of course, with Alicia¡¯s innate genius, having received information on God-level Skills, advancing to the God-level was inevitable. But Da Fei¡¯s goal certainly did not stop there. His target was to surpass God-level and develop a new profession that, according to legends, transcended skills! The practice began! As Da Fei¡¯s Phantom March activated, Alicia waved the magic wand glimmering with demon light, and Da Fei¡¯s vision blurred once more, only to see the boat swell rapidly like a balloon. A yellow-black-white mixture, much larger than the previous Skira¡¯s form, appeared once more. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia cast an unknown arcane magic on your boat! ¨CSystem Prompt: You combined a new unnamed magic skill! You gained information on a new magic skill! ¨CSystem Prompt: You obtained information on Master-level Navigation Skill. ¨CSystem Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia obtained information on God-level Arcane. ¨C¡°Insignificant beings, scram!¡± The piano sound resounded, as Coltner opportunely added musical input, causing the surrounding Ice Ocean to surge and scare off endless shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Yes, that was precisely the desired effect. Alicia chuckled, ¡°Not bad. With the enhanced magic power, the illusion¡¯s size increased significantly, and its colors have slightly started resembling the remembered black of Skira. As long as I practice more, deepening and fixing Skira¡¯s image until it completely resembles Skira¡¯s real appearance, there should be a breakthrough.¡± Da Fei exclaimed happily, ¡°Yes, yes, that¡¯s exactly what we need, more practice!¡± At this moment, a sudden red flash startled Da Fei¡¯s screen! ¨CSystem Prompt: Reconnaissance Skill Alert! A formidable enemy is approaching your fleet. Please ensure caution! Da Fei was startled, seeing a large red dot on the radar rapidly approaching his fleet. Gosh! Another Sea Monster! Was it not afraid of Skira? The fleet immediately prepared for battle, while Alicia hurriedly sat down, sipping water and nibbling on cakes to restore mana. Simultaneously, Da Fei took out a telescope to inspect the swiftly approaching red dot¨Ca giant octopus! Damn! It was back! Could it be it realized it was deceived? Was it why it neither submerged nor retreated but assailed boldly? What should be done this time? The legend goes that the same tactic never works twice on a Saint¨Csuggesting this was a fight not to be avoided? However, things were different now. Alicia¡¯s mana allowed her to summon Mist Technique, suggesting a fighting chance! Da Fei hurriedly instructed Alicia, ¡°Prepare Mist Technique!¡± Alicia, with puffed-up cheeks full of food, mumbled, ¡°*&&¡­%Y=!¡± Come on, are you speaking octopus language or something? Meanwhile, the massive octopus, moving like a torpedo, abruptly splayed its eight tentacles, causing massive waves as it halted abruptly behind the fleet. Clearly, it noticed the illusion left from practice that resembled Skira. This significantly larger illusion than before tested the intelligence of the Octopus Monster once more! ¨C¡°Fool! Scram!¡± Again, piano sound resounded, and the furious roar echoed across the Ice Ocean! Splash! A tremendous splash of water followed; the frightened octopus jerked its eight tentacles, swiftly turned around, reverting into a torpedo, fleeing in panic. ¨CSystem Prompt: The enemy has fled the battlefield! You gained battle experience +200,000! ¨CSystem Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia has advanced to Level 25! Attack +1, free attribute point +1, Damage +1¡­ Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡°Ah poo!¡± Alicia spurted with a mouthful of food crumbs. Da Fei stood frozen! What was the intention of this creature? Was it here to give experience? Alicia wiped her mouth and said, ¡°No way, things shouldn¡¯t be done more than twice. This octopus might return, and by then, the trick may not fool it again.¡± Da Fei nodded numbly; legend had it that the same tactic never works thrice on a Saint. It seemed a quick resolution was necessary; better to make a decisive choice while there was still time to escape. Da Fei made a firm decision, ¡°Messenger!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Chapter 214: Ambush the Octopus Monster with a Net Chapter 226: Chapter 214: Ambush the Octopus Monster with a Net When Da Fei¡¯s retreat order had just been issued, the Order Flag Bearer came to report, ¡°Captain, Captain Spielberg has something to say.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched. Did he not want to leave? But he hadn¡¯t expressed anything along the way; now he must be speaking up for a reason. Da Fei hurriedly directed the ship alongside the whaling ship. Right, he still didn¡¯t know the name of his ship either. Spielberg came to the ladder to greet him, ¡°Captain, are you heading back?¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°Yes, for the fleet¡¯s safety. Mr. Spielberg, do you have any suggestions?¡± Spielberg was silent for a moment, then shook his head, ¡°Since the captain says so, I have nothing to say.¡± Damn it, you clearly have something to say, afraid of taking responsibility? Da Fei immediately said, ¡°I just lack confidence in dealing with this returning octopus monster. If Mr. Spielberg has a solution, I certainly wouldn¡¯t give up easily, after all, we¡¯ve come this far.¡± Spielberg said seriously, ¡°Captain, are you sure this octopus monster will appear again?¡± Of course, because my Chamber of Commerce was cursed, wasn¡¯t it? Da Fei nodded, ¡°Sure of it!¡± Spielberg nodded, ¡°As long as we know it will come back, it¡¯s much easier to handle. We can ambush it!¡± Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Ambush?¡± Spielberg quickly replied, ¡°Captain, come look at my equipment. For sailors, the terrifying part of a sea monster is its appearance without any warning, catching people off guard. But as long as we¡¯re prepared, we¡¯re the fishermen, and the sea monster is no different from ordinary catches.¡± As they spoke, the two of them went to the stern of the whaling ship. Spielberg showed Da Fei a large circle of fishing nets on the iron frame rollers, ¡°This is our ambush tool! The whaling net!¡± Staring at these nets full of barbed ropes, Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched, feeling hopeful! Spielberg said sternly, ¡°The giant octopus is a very famous sea monster. Its horror lies in crawling under the ship and using its extremely elastic and powerful tentacles to capsize the boat. It rarely exposes its body above water; its tentacles above the water pose no threat, and it will even spray thick black ink to obscure a large area of seawater, further hiding its underwater body, leaving the sailors at a loss. When a ship suddenly encounters a giant octopus, there¡¯s almost no way to counter it. But not now. As long as our fishing nets bind it, its eight tentacles lose their power, and its ink becomes ineffective. We can blast it with harpoon cannons and ship cannons!¡± That makes sense! This octopus is so sneaky, meaning my previous Illusion Army bait tactics were actually ineffective against it! Almost messed up! Da Fei praised, ¡°Great! Let¡¯s do as Mr. Spielberg says, please find a suitable spot to set up the net.¡± Spielberg nodded and pointed to the gap between two huge icebergs ahead, ¡°Right there!¡± Da Fei happily said, ¡°Good, it¡¯s all up to you!¡± Spielberg shook his head and sighed with a smile, ¡°Actually, I can¡¯t say how much confidence I have. Mainly, the captain¡¯s magical experiences along the way have shocked me, filling me with hope for this whaling action. I really don¡¯t want to give up easily, let¡¯s just get through this difficulty first.¡± So that¡¯s it! Surely he was deeply impressed by my brilliance! It¡¯s a must. But this Spielberg seems to be an NPC with a story, isn¡¯t he? Well, never mind that, let¡¯s handle business first. Da Fei quickly said, ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, can I fire the harpoon cannon on your ship?¡± Spielberg laughed, ¡°Nothing would please me more, I was quite eager to witness the power of a Master-level crossbow cannon!¡± Now, the fleet sailed into the waters between the two giant icebergs, and the ambush was set. The whaling ship released several small boats. The sailors rowed the boats, dragging the fishing nets to scatter and position the trap. Since it was unclear how strong this octopus monster really was, Spielberg also brought out the spare nets, double-layer nets. Radiant Wings was broadside in the route with all gunports open. Anlicia was appointed as First Officer, steering the medium ship to hide on one side. This was her first time piloting a ship alone, and she was exceptionally excited. As for Da Fei, he began to examine the harpoon cannon on board, trying to mount the telescope on it. In short, after busying for half a day, Spielberg¡¯s double-layer fishing net ambush formation was complete. And Da Fei ultimately achieved no productive research, better leave such matters to the reliable NPC. Now it was just waiting quietly for the octopus to return. Time passed minute by minute, and the octopus hadn¡¯t appeared. Stay calm, wait! As night fell, the chilling wind roared, making the entire ice ocean dreadfully desolate. Da Fei waited anxiously. How had it not appeared yet? Wouldn¡¯t it really be scared off and never come back? My schedule is precious you know. Could it be a night attack? Fine, I trust with its intelligence it should launch a night attack. Have patience when fishing, turn on all the lights on the ship, continue waiting! Midnight arrived, and the sea remained eerily quiet. Under the glow of the ship¡¯s lights, the floating ice on the sea reflected a dim light. In the game, a day¡¯s time wasn¡¯t long, but with the anxiety in Da Fei¡¯s heart, it truly felt like an entire day. Might it not come anymore? If it doesn¡¯t, should I continue to Fire Dragon Island, or head back? Isn¡¯t this just trying to mess with me? Who knows how long it was before the bell on the whaling ship¡¯s fishing net suddenly rang, and the ship jolted violently. It was hooked! Da Fei¡¯s entire body shuddered with shock! When did it get caught? Why didn¡¯t my God-level Reconnaissance Technique alert me! After waiting for so long, Spielberg shouted loudly, ¡°Prepare for battle! Reel in! Reel in!!¡± In an instant, alarm bells rang, and sailors yelled as they rapidly turned the net-winding crank. The whaling ship began to shake intensely. At the same time, all the ship¡¯s lights shone on the black waves flipping over in the net array. It was only then that Da Fei noticed the entire sea area had been dyed black by its ink, no wonder the reconnaissance didn¡¯t give an alert! Stealth + ink, indeed surpassing God-level Reconnaissance with God-level Stealth! Holy crap! Luckily, our troops were prepared, letting it fall into the net by itself, otherwise, we wouldn¡¯t even know how we died! Amidst the turbulent waves and under the lights, barbed fishing nets dragged a big mass of white flesh vaguely surfaced. Spielberg shouted excitedly, ¡°Attack!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only This is exactly the time! I can¡¯t wait to test the harpoon cannon¡¯s power! ¨CBang! Bang! Two harpoon cannon shots boomed, and two harpoons whistled out dragging long ropes! -1366! -1345! Meanwhile, a synchronized volition of firing and hitting! Radiant Wings, firing all crossbow cannons, harpoon cannons on the whaling ship! Massive blue-black waves surged skyward! Holy crap! My 35 attack crossbow cannon 500 damage can yield 1300 damage! Meaning this octopus¡¯s defense is nearly zero! These soft-bodied creatures sure take it all perfectly! Spielberg excitedly shouted, ¡°Hit the vital spot!¡± Oh yeah! (To be continued.

Chapter 227 - Chapter 227: Chapter 215: The Divine Artifact that Transforms Souls Chapter 227: Chapter 215: The Divine Artifact that Transforms Souls The giant octopus, such an infamous Sea Monster, has countless advantages. For example, it doesn¡¯t have to expose its body above water like other Sea Monsters when attacking ships, which inherently grants it an invincible position. Its nature as a soft-bodied creature also allows it to hide in some unimaginably narrow crevices for ambushes and change color to camouflage itself. If it¡¯s ever outmatched, it can spray ink and make its escape at any time. It can be said that the giant octopus is the Ninja amongst Sea Monsters, a perfect embodiment of high Attack, high speed, and slyness, becoming the nightmare of every sailor! But it has one flaw: as a soft-bodied animal, it¡¯s not durable! This single weakness is its fatal vulnerability! Now, the giant octopus, caught in the net and severely wounded, has lost its advantage and its defeat is inevitable. Boom papapa! With another volley from the Crossbow Cannons, the intense turmoil on the water¡¯s surface suddenly stops! ¡ª System Prompt: Congratulations, you have slain a Leader-level giant octopus monster! You¡¯ve gained victory in the battle! Experience +2,000,000! You¡¯ve obtained spoils of war: ¡°Giant Octopus Ship Figurehead¡±, and you¡¯ve obtained a special product ¡°Octopus Eggs¡±. ¡ª System Prompt: You have acquired incomplete information about the Leader-level giant octopus monster. ¡ª Giant Octopus Ship Figurehead: B-grade strategic treasure, a statue equipped at the prow of a large ship that can drive away octopuses to protect the ship from the harassment of Octopus Monsters. ¡ª Octopus Eggs: Maritime product. Octopuses can be cultured in coastal territory fishing grounds. Octopus is a delicacy that¡¯s highly popular in the market. The whole fleet erupted into joyous cheers. Another figurehead! More maritime products! And most importantly, the mission is saved! Da Fei roars with ecstatic laughter! Spielberg laments with a smile, ¡°Pity, we have no more cargo space, otherwise this big octopus could be sold for a good sum.¡± Da Fei laughs heartily, ¡°No worries, just drag it along! Perhaps we could sell it for a fortune on Fire Dragon Island?¡± Just like when he dragged along the great white shark he caught. Spielberg nods, ¡°Indeed, if it were any other sea area, it wouldn¡¯t be long before it went bad, but this is the Ice Ocean which is just right for preservation.¡± In the meantime, the sailors have already begun repairing the riddled fishing nets and straightening the net frames that have been deformed by the colossal strength of the octopus. Spielberg laments with a smile, ¡°Both nets are unusable now. Lucky for us, our fleet has strong firepower; otherwise, if it had escaped, who knows what would have happened. I wonder if there¡¯s a workshop capable of repairing fishing nets on Fire Dragon Island. This is a special fishing net, not easy to mend.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows leap! Could this net be so incredible that it¡¯s a special fishing net? Indeed, where would an ordinary net have so many hooks? It truly is a powerful tool against Sea Monsters! Suddenly, Da Fei recalls the three bundles of golden spider silk on the Flying, which are treasure-grade nets. It¡¯s definitely not on the same level as these fishing nets. If he could also equip them and make them ¡®special,¡¯ wouldn¡¯t he have no fear of Sea Monsters in the future? Da Fei hurriedly asks, ¡°I want to install a fishing rig on my ship as well; I have a net of excellent quality too. I also wish to craft such a special fishing net. Sir, do you know where I could find the means to do so?¡± Spielberg laughs, ¡°That would be the Alliance Fishing Guild, of course. They issue fishing licenses to fishermen and also buy their catch. They have the best craftsmen of the Alliance. However, acquiring a special fishing net requires considerable Guild reputation. But of course, with the Captain¡¯s abilities, that definitely won¡¯t be a problem.¡± Da Fei nodded: ¡°I see, looks like I¡¯ll have to check it out when I go back.¡± In the game, going out to sea isn¡¯t just for trading; fishing is also an option. Getting a fishing license is as necessary as a sailing permit for trading. However, getting a fishing license is quite a pain; it seems you need to take on fishing quests, catch various kinds of fish to prove your qualification as a fisherman. Fish caught by players without a fishing license won¡¯t be bought by NPC Chambers of Commerce. For example, the giant octopus that Da Fei has caught now, he can¡¯t sell it. Just then, ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has absorbed the soul of the Giant Octopus Leader with the Sea Soul Staff! Da Fei was startled, absorbing souls! The special skill of the Divine Artifact is in effect! What exactly is the use of this special skill? Da Fei hurried back to his own ship, at this moment Alicia excitedly waved her Magic Wand at him, ¡°Look! Look, something fun has happened!¡± Da Fei asked in surprise: ¡°What¡¯s fun about it?¡± Alicia pointed to the glass globe at the top of the Magic Wand, where there was suddenly a ghostly mist-like little octopus swimming around. Was this the soul of the giant octopus? Da Fei quickly checked the properties of the Sea Soul Staff: ¡ª-Sea Soul Staff: Divine Artifact, Magic Power +20, Knowledge +20, can absorb the souls of creatures killed in naval battles. Absorbing the souls of High-level Leader Level creatures +1, soul conversion in process: currently gaining +25 Mana points. Da Fei was astounded, his eyebrows twitching! Soul conversion? Turning souls into Mana? If that¡¯s the case, doesn¡¯t this thing become a Mana battery? Doesn¡¯t that mean no more worrying about Mana in the future? Does it mean that during major battles, Selvia can keep using Magic without stopping? Damn! A Priest who can cast spells non-stop, that¡¯s truly defiant! Worthy of being called a Divine Artifact indeed! But merely soul conversion? That alone doesn¡¯t seem to merit the title of Divine Artifact, does it? There should be more to it, right? Alicia then said gravely: ¡°Captain, it is said that creatures whose souls have been absorbed cannot be resurrected with Resurrection Techniques!¡± Da Fei was alarmed once again! No way, I was just thinking that Selvia could resurrect without any concerns during battles, isn¡¯t this a trap? This wand doesn¡¯t specify whether it distinguishes between friend or foe, right? Does it mean it absorbs any soul that dies in battle? Damn! It¡¯s really a pitfall! As mentioned before, Heroic Creation Era is a game that encourages players to go all-out in PK (Player Kill), so the Resurrection Technique (Dark Revival), a Divine Skill, was demoted to be usable by Master-level Light Magic (Dark Magic). The intention is, the victors in a ferocious battle will receive the maximum compensation, while the defeated will have nothing left. Therefore, players must go all-in for victory. This game was branded a Tycoon game from the outset. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The Hell Race¡¯s burning corpses and the Undead Race¡¯s exploding corpse skills are known to be extremely wicked (players call it ¡°female mummy¡±). Once these skills are used, the corpses cannot be resurrected, which is widely criticized by players as underhanded and shameless. And now with the appearance of this Divine Artifact, it¡¯s more than just shameless! Burning corpses or exploding corpses come with conditions for use, one must make contact with or be close to the corpses, and there are measures to protect the corpses. But now this Divine Artifact is obviously affecting the entire area; how to defend against it if it absorbs souls upon death? Of course, it¡¯s fine to screw over others, but it¡¯s infuriating if it screws oneself over! My troops are all rare Elite forces! For a moment, Da Fei fell into deep frustration. It looks like the Divine Artifact must be used with care. Similar to the Misfortune Hourglass, it has both advantages and disadvantages, one can only try to minimize its drawbacks as much as possible. But how to minimize them? Either come out unscathed or not bring any troops at all? Or just keep it in the bag without equipping it? Forget it, don¡¯t think about it too much, at least for now the sailors in the fleet aren¡¯t rare elites, so if they die, they die. Now, having finished preparations, the fleet set sail again in the night. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at wuxiaworld.site.

Chapter 228 - Chapter 228: Chapter 216: Little Li Enters the Game Chapter 228: Chapter 216: Little Li Enters the Game In the central city of the Lionheart Empire, Stream County, a trading hub in the midst of fertile plains, it is the empire¡¯s most crucial grain-producing base and also the key grain export base for the Bright Alliance. A flash of white light in the bustling town square, and another newcomer has joined the game. Newbie ID: Harem Beauty. Specialty: Logistics Skill. Initial skill: Basic Logistics Skill. ¡ª- Basic Logistics Skill: Boosts the player and their troop¡¯s marching speed by 10%. ¡ª- Logistics Skill Specialty: Every two levels gained by the player enhances the effect of Logistics Skill by 1%. Logistics sub-skills: Pathfinding Skill, Rapid March, Transport Cart, Mountain Transport, Home Advantage, War Road, Death March, and so forth. This ponytailed female player dressed in newbie¡¯s cloth armor and armed with a long spear is none other than Little Li. Upon her appearance, a female knight player clad in silver armor immediately greets her: ¡°Haha! It¡¯s me, let¡¯s be friends!¡± ¡ª- System Prompt: Player Fleeting Blossom has sent you a friend request, accept? Little Li grumpily asks, ¡°Can¡¯t I change the name?¡± Little Fang smiles triumphantly, ¡°Since you¡¯re just here to make a quick buck and leave, what do you care about the name? Be a good wife to this queen, hahaha!¡± Little Li looks around in amazement: ¡°It¡¯s unbelievable how advanced games are now; it feels like stepping into a fantasy world from the movies, so realistic, so immersive!¡± Little Fang laughs, ¡°Isn¡¯t it more exciting than reading books? Come on, let¡¯s go level up in an instance.¡± ¡°What¡¯s an instance?¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s a long story, you¡¯ll understand when we get there. Anyway, it¡¯s the fastest way for a newbie to level up. Once you reach level 10, you¡¯ll change classes, then I¡¯ll take you to the trade center to get a trade permit, and after leaving the city, I¡¯ll take you to my manor, then you¡¯ll be able to earn money by running transport¡­¡± ¡°Hey hey, slow down, I don¡¯t know anything!¡± ¡°Well, you¡¯ll learn in time, now you just need to follow me.¡± Little Li shakes her head and sighs, ¡°I really can¡¯t handle you.¡± Little Fang laughs proudly, ¡°Not happy about it? So many would kill for the chance to run an instance with me.¡± Little Li sarcastically agrees, ¡°Sure sure!¡± Just then, a passing carriage suddenly stops beside them, and a male player in impressive silver armor gets off. This player, named ¡°Shenzhi,¡± warmly greets, ¡°Fangfang, I see you again.¡± Little Fang responds unenthusiastically, ¡°Yeah.¡± Fangfang? Gives me goosebumps! Little Li teases, ¡°Is he the husband you found online?¡± Little Fang jumps up annoyed, ¡°Nonsense! How could that be!¡± Little Li enjoys teasing her, ¡°Looks like it to me!¡± Little Fang snaps, ¡°Really? Then I¡¯ll give him to you!¡± Little Li hastily refuses, ¡°No thanks!¡± The male player laughs along awkwardly, ¡°Fangfang brought a friend to play?¡± Little Fang casually mentions, ¡°Yeah, my wife!¡± Then with exaggerated emphasis to Little Li, ¡°Let me introduce him. This handsome guy here is a senior executive from the famous Chinese guild ¡®Ninth Heaven,¡¯ Shenzhi, a big shot who manages hundreds of people.¡± Shenzhi modestly laughs, ¡°Hardly, just a transportation leader. Nice to meet you, miss.¡± Little Li, of course, doesn¡¯t know what Ninth Heaven is, presumably not a guild important enough for Little Fang to care about, which explains her lukewarm attitude. So, without teasing further, Little Li responds courteously, ¡°Hello.¡± Little Fang gets an idea and chuckles, ¡°Hey, Big Brother Shenzhi, you¡¯re always boasting about your guild. My wife and I are about to level up, why don¡¯t you let us see what your guild is made of?¡± Yeah, let Lili see the grandeur of her Queen wife, show her how many men bend the knee for me, hahaha. Of course, the main point is, if Little Li is going to make big money, it¡¯s necessary to strengthen relations with the Human Race¡¯s top guild. It won¡¯t do being cold and high-and-mighty all the time. As expected, Shenzhi is roused, ¡°Leveling up new people? No problem, I¡¯ll get it arranged right away!¡± He then immediately instructs another player in the carriage, ¡°You all go ahead!¡± ¡°Sure thing, big brother.¡± Shenzhi, a senior executive in Ninth Heaven, is mainly responsible for backend operations. And Fleeting Blossom, the first player from the China Region to recruit an Epic Hero and also the first to obtain Kingdom territory, naturally becomes a key target for Ninth Heaven, which focuses on the Human Race, to recruit. And this task undoubtedly falls on Shenzhi, a ¡°fellow townsman¡± from Stream County. But unfortunately, Fleeting Blossom is too proud and aloof, utterly unmoved, causing Shenzhi much discouragement. Now that Fleeting Blossom is initiating a request, how could he miss this chance? He must handle it well! Shenzhi immediately reports to the guild leader, Divine Emperor, ¡°Boss, Fleeting Blossom needs someone to help her and her friend level up; she says she wants to witness the style of our guild!¡± The president of Ninth Heaven, Divine Emperor, was busy recruiting and buying horses, determined to compete with the high-profile Star. The moment Fleeting Blossom made her stance known, it immediately caught the high attention of Divine Emperor! Divine Emperor didn¡¯t hesitate and said, ¡°Teleport to Grey Stone Town, take them to join the guild¡¯s fourth Pioneering Team, and lead them in running the Elemental Mine instance!¡± Shenzhi was taken aback, ¡°Boss, this is a Pioneering Team! Fleeting Blossom is a Lord Player with weak combat power, and her friend is even a level 1 newbie!¡± Divine Emperor chuckled, ¡°Two extra burdens won¡¯t make a difference. Isn¡¯t she wanting to witness our guild¡¯s capabilities? Then let her see for herself. It¡¯s no big deal leading newbies to level up, but it¡¯s awesome to take them on pioneer runs!¡± ¡°Got it!¡± Now, Shenzhi cheerfully said to Fleeting Blossom, ¡°All set, the guild specifically has an instance team for newbies, and they¡¯re about to start running it, let¡¯s go, teleport to Grey Stone Town. Oh, and I¡¯ll cover the teleportation fee.¡± Little Fang exclaimed, ¡°The Grey Stone Town in the northern mountains? The Grey Stone Town that¡¯s often attacked by Earth Elementals?¡± Shenzhi laughed, ¡°Exactly, it¡¯s a leveling spot for level 30 players, perfect for taking newbies to gain levels!¡± This joke seemed a bit too much; that place was where level 30 players would get beaten to a pulp, how could it be a place to take newbies? Little Fang felt immediately uneasy and quickly shook her head, ¡°No, no, no, let¡¯s not bother, it¡¯s too much trouble.¡± Shenzhi hurriedly said, ¡°No trouble, our president has arranged everything, our leading team is full of experts, it¡¯s not a problem at all.¡± Refusing now would just make her seem petty. Fleeting Blossom didn¡¯t refuse any further and chuckled, ¡°Alright then, we¡¯ll impose on you guys!¡± ¡°Not at all, having Miss Fang join us is an honor for our guild.¡± Little Fang was delighted and whispered to Little Li in her dorm, ¡°Did you hear that? I¡¯m gracing their guild.¡± Little Li replied indifferently, ¡°Yes, yes, Queen, first conquer the Ninth Guild, then one by one conquer the top eight guilds!¡± Little Fang laughed out loud, ¡°Oh, you really think they¡¯re ranked ninth? Ah, well, I guess they do barely make it into the world¡¯s top nine¡­¡± Amidst laughter and chatter, the three arrived at the Teleportation Array, and with a white flash, they were in Grey Stone Town, a town in the Lionheart Empire that produced stone mines. However, this town was plagued and threatened by Earth Elemental creatures, and the mines had been occupied by them. The players¡¯ task was to clear the mine instance every once in a while. A large number of players had already gathered at the broad stone material yard outside the mine entrance. A player named Divine Flame stepped forward with a smile, ¡°Welcome, welcome!¡± Fleeting Blossom smiled, ¡°Sorry for the inconvenience.¡± Shenzhi laughed, ¡°It¡¯s all on you now!¡± Divine Flame smiled, ¡°No problem.¡± Little Li looked at the crowd and exclaimed in surprise, ¡°There are so many female players!¡± Divine Flame laughed, ¡°Yeah, all friends!¡± When Shenzhi recognized who those female players were, he was suddenly startled! At the same time, Little Fang in the dorm couldn¡¯t help but curse, ¡°It¡¯s hot!¡± Little Li asked, ¡°What happened?¡± Little Fang sneered, ¡°The so-called number one Beauty Studio in China, just ignore them. We¡¯ll just mix in for the experience, that¡¯ll piss them off!¡± Little Li asked in surprise, ¡°You have a grudge against them?¡± Little Fang scoffed, ¡°They¡¯re just jealous of me, the Queen! Pfft!¡± Meanwhile, Shenzhi urgently contacted the president, ¡°Boss, is this a mix-up? Why did you put her and Bloodrose in the same group? They¡¯ve had fights on the forums!¡± Divine Emperor replied with a cold laugh, ¡°It¡¯s not a mix-up, I deliberately arranged this to get them to meet. If they can reconcile, that¡¯s even better. If not, we can take this opportunity to knock down Bloodrose¡¯s pride by promoting Fleeting Blossom! So these women don¡¯t think they¡¯re all that, acting as if the world would have no women without them!¡± ¡°Understood.¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡­ ¡ª- Team Channel: Fleeting Blossom has joined the team. ¡ª- Team Channel: Harem Beauty has joined the team. The entire Bloodrose Studio erupted into commotion! ¡°Who the hell is this?!¡± (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to wuxiaworld.site to vote, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.wuxiaworld.site to read.) Chapter 229 - Chapter 229: Chapter 217: Infighting in the Instance Chapter 229: Chapter 217: Infighting in the Instance Fleeting Blossom joined the team, and immediately caused an uproar at Bloodrose Studio. ¡°Big sis! What does Divine Emperor mean by this? We¡¯re cooperating with them to pioneer the instance, but when did we become their little wage earners?¡± ¡°Exactly, it¡¯s bad enough to carry someone, but to carry this jerk! They have several pioneering teams in their guild, why did they have to arrange for us to be with this team, what is he trying to do? Does he know we don¡¯t get along with this jerk?¡± ¡°And what¡¯s with this level 1 alt¡¯s name Harem Beauty? Is there some hidden meaning here?¡± ¡°Ha! You still don¡¯t know what men are thinking?¡± Big sis Zhou Qing was busy with the Chamber of Commerce task at the harbor and was not in the team. Upon learning the situation, she was taken aback and then sneered coldly: ¡°Shut up, pretend they don¡¯t exist, just do what we have to do, don¡¯t let jerks laugh at our studio¡¯s professional level.¡± The sisters grumbled: ¡°Understood.¡± Zhou Qing had roughly guessed Divine Emperor¡¯s intentions. Supporting our rival right in front of us, hoping to make us feel the pressure? Ridiculous! He really thinks he¡¯s the Emperor, wanting to turn us into concubines vying for favor in his harem? Men¡¯s thoughts are so simple! How many wealthy tycoons couldn¡¯t even do it, and just because he plays games? Despite her disdain, Zhou Qing felt her mood deteriorate even further. It seems like since joining this game, there haven¡¯t been many happy days! Speaking of which, Fleeting Blossom should have had no entanglement with Bloodrose Studio, especially since one mingles in the harbor, the other in the mainland, one is a combat-focused team, and the other is a business-oriented individual. But there are always some players who love to stir trouble on forums with ulterior motives, posts like ¡°Bloodrose acts so arrogant, Star Goddess Bu Feiyan alone could beat their entire studio, and independent Fleeting Blossom alone is worth their entire net worth¡±, and just like that, hatred was secured, shaking the entire Bloodrose Studio! As for Bu Feiyan, no need to mention, with strong backing and numerous fans, Bloodrose can¡¯t do anything to her, but what counts as a single player like Fleeting Blossom? Bloodrose¡¯s fans blasted her on the forums. But soon, Bloodrose found that things were getting seriously out of control. Some of the ¡°fans¡± were bashing too harshly and without limits, affecting Bloodrose¡¯s image. These were certainly not fans! These were definitely bad actors who borrowed the name of fans, attempting to tarnish Bloodrose¡¯s image, so Bloodrose contacted the forum mods to urgently handle it. Although this issue was quickly resolved, it caused profound trauma to Fleeting Blossom¡¯s pure, innocent, and kind heart. The internet is like this, the low cost of wanton slander brings a lot of trouble for well-known figures. If there was one celebrity who was not troubled, it was probably Da Fei, utterly unfazed by a forum full of curses. It seems freer to be the bad guy. Now, after listening to Little Fang¡¯s complaints, Little Li roughly knew what the conflict between both sides was, and a seed of shared enmity was planted in her young heart. But with Little Fang¡¯s sharp and snarky personality, surely she¡¯s not the kind to only be scolded without fighting back, right? To say that Little Fang had no fault in this, Little Li firmly didn¡¯t believe it. ¡ª Team Channel [Divine Flame]: Good, everyone is here now, let¡¯s enter the instance. ¡ª System Prompt: You have received the shared team instance mission ¡°Grey Stone Town Mine Clearance.¡± Little Fang said, ¡°It¡¯s starting, just stick with me and don¡¯t go anywhere.¡± ¡°Got it.¡± The team entered the cave, where a large door was tightly closed. After the team leader Divine Flame handed over the dungeon pass to the guard, the door opened, revealing a Space Gate that was pulsating within. Everyone entered in single file. In this game, instances aren¡¯t something you can just run whenever you want. You need to accept the quest, you need to use Gold Coins or reputation to exchange for dungeon passes, or you need to get dungeon keys from certain monsters in the wild, and some particularly high-end dungeon keys must be looted from particularly strong BOSSes. These rules effectively prevent traditional MMO studios from gold-farming in instances, and maintain a market for players, greatly enhancing the value of the dungeons. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only At the same time, the number of people entering an instance is calculated by the number of heroes, not players. For example, this cave instance is a 50-hero team instance, meaning players including their Vice Heroes can only bring in a maximum of 50 people. Large guilds mainly aim to increase player levels when pioneering instances, and unless there are particularly strong Vice Heroes, team members are not allowed to bring Vice Heroes into the instance. Instances are also divided into battle instances and adventure dungeons. Battle instances naturally have very large scenes, where the player¡¯s team can bring as many soldiers as they have, so in the later stages, a hundred-player team with tens of thousands of soldiers densely spread out is quite common. And adventure dungeons, like the situation now, limit each player to bringing no more than 10 soldiers. Now, the team has entered the instance, and a spacious underground cavern appears before the players. Even though each player can bring no more than 10 soldiers, the troops from a 50-person team add up to four or five hundred, a sight to behold. Little Li, new to the game, couldn¡¯t help but exclaim in awe. Of course, this was also Little Fang¡¯s first time entering the instance, but as a veteran, naturally, she couldn¡¯t be so visibly shocked. Little Fang chuckled, ¡°This is the instance, it looks like just a small hill from outside, but once you enter the Space Gate, it¡¯s a whole new world, the space is far beyond your imagination.¡± Chapter 230 - Chapter 230: Chapter 217 Internal Strife in the Instance_2 Chapter 230: Chapter 217 Internal Strife in the Instance_2 Little Li sighed: ¡°So that¡¯s how it is.¡± ¡ª-Team Channel [Divine Flame]: Everyone stick to the original plan. Team one handles the left side, team two the right, the main team charges through the center. Miss Fleeting Blossom just follows the main team¡¯s ammo cart; it¡¯s the safest there. Little Fang laughed heartily and quickly said: ¡°Got it, thanks everyone for the trouble.¡± Divine Flame continued: ¡°¡­Bloodrose team members are still in charge of covering for us. We¡¯ve brought two new members this time, and the gaps are a bit larger, so you all need to be on the lookout.¡± Tch! The women of Bloodrose let out a cold snort. Divine Flame felt a sinking feeling, a foreboding premonition. Honestly, Bloodrose¡¯s attitude was really disappointing. If it were him, he would have taken the opportunity to greet the other side proactively, at the very least to show the grandeur of a large guild and a big studio. Forget it, if you expect women to act like men, they wouldn¡¯t be women. In any case, whatever their discontent, as long as they follow the command, that¡¯s fine. Otherwise, don¡¯t blame the team leader for not being polite when scolding. A good team is scolded into shape; that¡¯s Divine Flame¡¯s principle of leading a team. ¡­ Now, with each team member in their place, the battle began. Little Fang also started chattering non-stop to Little Li, explaining all the professions, soldiers, and various tactics. At this moment, the strategy employed by the Pioneering Team was the standard Human Race iron bucket formation strategy, which meant the first row was comprised of level 3 Soldier Shield Guards, the second row of level 1 long spear battle, and the archers were positioned amid the crowd. With a very standard formation, they pushed forward in a straight line clearing minor mobs, making smooth progress like a hot knife through butter. Soon, Little Li, the newcomer, noticed a problem: ¡°Why is their gunner different?¡± ¡°Different?¡± Little Fang was too busy giving instructions to Little Li and only then noticed that the team leader Divine Flame¡¯s 10 gunners indeed looked different from other players¡¯ gunners; not to mention their shiny armor, their guns were much longer too! No, more than double the length! How do you even turn a corner with such long guns? Wouldn¡¯t that be inconvenient when walking? Little Fang, of course, was not someone who would pretend to know things she didn¡¯t, so, faced with something new, she unhesitatingly and shamelessly asked a team member nearby: ¡°What type of soldier is the team leader¡¯s gunner? Why is the gun so long?¡± The team member laughed heartily: ¡°The leader¡¯s spear isn¡¯t just long, it¡¯s also thick!¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense!¡± Another team member kicked him and said: ¡°Those are Dragon Spear Soldiers, the team leader¡¯s treasured assets. Just one of them fights at the level of a sixth-level soldier, can slay dragons in the sky and dominate Cavalry on the ground, and is usually too precious to use. They were equipped just now to welcome Miss Fleeting Blossom in grand style.¡± Dragon Spear Soldiers! Hearing it for the first time! Little Fang, pleasantly surprised, said: ¡°These soldiers must be very precious, right? What if they die?¡± The other team member laughed loudly: ¡°To welcome you, who cares if a few soldiers die? Don¡¯t let our leader¡¯s stern appearance fool you, inside his chest is a blazing fire!¡± ¡ª-Team Channel [Divine Flame]: Silence! The two members gave Little Fang a mischievous look, chuckled, and then stopped talking. As one of the top three largest guilds in the China Region, Ninth Heaven, the leader of the Pioneering Team undoubtedly represents the highest level of players in the China Region, and it was clear they had some trump cards up their sleeve. This was also the confidence Ninth Heaven¡¯s Pioneering Team had to bring in newcomers. Clearly, the two members playfully complimented and flattered Little Fang, which greatly amused her, especially since they spoke so loudly that even the team leader in front could hear them, let alone Bloodrose in the middle ¨C they had no reason not to hear. Such differential treatment felt simply fantastic with a single word: exhilarating! So, at this moment, Little Fang laughed heartily in the dormitory: ¡°Wifey, did you see that? This is the style of your Queen! I¡¯m going to infuriate that bunch of jerks, ah hahaha!¡± ¡°Of course, of course, the Queen is magnificent and enchanting¡­¡± And at this moment, was Bloodrose Studio angry? No! Absolutely not angry! Getting angry would mean being jealous, vying for favor, which would mean losing! Who couldn¡¯t see they were just putting on a show for them? Why perform such a spectacle, if not to show how much they valued them? In a world full of women, singling out one woman for praise is a foolish move, unless a man is no longer interested in maintaining a harem. But would a man be the kind of creature to give up an entire forest for a single tree? Obviously not. So the beautiful ladies of Bloodrose, realizing this internally, appeared nonchalant and scoffed in their hearts. But not being angry didn¡¯t mean they wouldn¡¯t feel annoyed. Consequently, Bloodrose Qiqi, the team leader in the studio, laughed: ¡°Big sister, looks like they¡¯ve become a bit too proud of themselves, should we give them a little color to see?¡± The other ladies echoed in agreement: ¡°Yes, yes, wipe their team out once. Let all those precious Dragon Spear Soldiers they couldn¡¯t bear to use die off and see their faces then.¡± Zhou Qing smiled faintly: ¡°Okay, but make sure it¡¯s done with some skill. Don¡¯t embarrass ourselves by doing something stupid.¡± Bloodrose Qiqi burst into laughter: ¡°Leave it to me, they¡¯ll definitely be in for a surprise and speechless. Back then, I was the star of many guild disbandments!¡± Everyone disdainfully said: ¡°And you still have the face to brag about it!¡± ¡­ With practiced coordination, effective command, high-end gameplay, and alert reactions, the Pioneering Team advanced smoothly through the tunnels. Little Li also successfully leveled up to level 2. Of course, no matter how high the instance monsters¡¯ experience was, it was still very little after being split among fifty people. Therefore, the key to leading people through an instance was to complete missions. A mission worth hundreds of thousands of experience might not matter much for players over level 30, but it was enough for level 2 Little Li to level up to double digits. Now, the troops followed the mining tracks deep into a spacious underground mine filled with abandoned mine carts, at the center of which was a huge Earth Element BOSS. ¡ª-Team Channel [Divine Flame]: Let me go over the precautions now. This BOSS can throw rocks at long range and conjure spikes all over the area. No one should stay in one spot for more than three seconds, which means this BOSS can¡¯t be taken down with the Crossbow Cannon. Everyone, all soldiers, especially archers, must keep moving. Miss Fleeting Blossom! Little Fang quickly responded: ¡°Here!¡± ¡°You and your friend just keep running circles around that farthest corner, where the BOSS¡¯s rocks can¡¯t hit you and where you absolutely must not stop. Understood?¡± ¡°Understood!¡± ¡°Good, this isn¡¯t everyone¡¯s first time fighting this BOSS, so I won¡¯t say much more. Everyone take your positions!¡± The battle began in an orderly fashion. Suddenly, a harsh grating noise came from the direction everyone had entered the chamber through, sounding like mine carts moving on tracks? The whole team was in an uproar! The one thing to fear most during a BOSS fight is an unexpected situation! Divine Flame roared: ¡°What¡¯s happening? What¡¯s going on?¡± No one except the silently smirking Bloodrose Studio could answer him! The noise grew louder and then there they were ¨C a line of mine carts loaded with ore, scraping sparks off the track and barreling into the crowded hall! ¡°Damn it!¡± A chorus of curses rang out from the team! And the Bloodrose Studio erupted in laughter! That¡¯s right, female players are meticulous; they had discovered this mechanism during their last visit to this instance. By moving a few piles of gravel off the track, you would uncover the brake valve hidden beneath. Once the valve was opened, the mine carts would start to move slowly and imperceptibly, then gradually begin sliding down, gaining more and more speed. Thus, they had plenty of time to commit their act without the guild master finding any evidence. Perhaps this mechanism was intended to hit the BOSS? Of course, they couldn¡¯t be bothered to share such a minor secret, but now, it came in handy! Caught off guard by the charging mine carts, numerous team members had nowhere to hide and were taken out along with their soldiers on the spot! Thunderous booms echoed through the underground mine! ¡ª-Team Channel [Divine Flame]: Damn it!!! My Dragon Spear Soldiers!!! ¡°Muahaha! Wiped out!¡± Bloodrose Studio celebrated with high-fives all around! Bloodrose Qiqi was even more triumphant: ¡°That¡¯s what you get for showing off! Let¡¯s see how that jerk dies now!¡± The sudden turn of events left Little Fang and Little Li, who were taking a stroll in a corner, dumbfounded. Watching the BOSS go on a rampage in the dust-filled mine, Little Fang said with a mix of laughter and tears, ¡°We got played by that jerk!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Little Li anxiously asked, ¡°What do we do? Are we going to die?¡± Little Fang chuckled and sighed, ¡°If we die, we die. It¡¯s just a game.¡± Little Li, in her first time playing a game, clearly hadn¡¯t yet reached the level of detachment from life and death. As she looked around, she suddenly spotted a broken hole in a wall created by a mine cart, with a faint light seeping through. Little Li exclaimed, ¡°What¡¯s that?¡± Little Fang was taken aback: ¡°This could be our chance! Let¡¯s hide in there!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 231 - Chapter 231: Chapter 218 Little Lis First Pot of Gold Chapter 231: Chapter 218 Little Li¡¯s First Pot of Gold Dust and chaos ensue as the boss furiously chases them down, and Little Fang and Little Li run panicked into the shimmering broken hole, where a glittering treasure chest appears before their eyes! Little Fang¡¯s eyes shrink in surprise: ¡°Oh my god, a huge treasure chest! We¡¯ve found the hidden treasure vault in the instance!¡± And just then, a huge earth spike suddenly shoots up from the ground! Ah! Little Fang screams in agony as she¡¯s impaled! Little Fang yells frantically in the dormitory: ¡°Hurry up, rush to open the chest!¡± Little Li exclaims in shock: ¡°How do we open it?¡± ¡°Just touch it!!!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have discovered a random treasure vault in a team instance! ¡ª-System Prompt: As you are the first player to discover the random treasure vault in the ¡°Grey Stone Town Abandoned Mine¡± instance, the rewards from the random treasure vault are doubled! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have discovered a super treasure chest, received Gold Coin+20000, Experience+200,000, obtained C-grade strategic treasure Traveller¡¯s Boots, obtained C-grade strategic treasure Captain¡¯s Armband. Additionally, you have received +1 Skill Book and +1 Life Book. ¡ª-Traveller¡¯s Boots: C-grade strategic treasure, increases the marching speed of the hero and their troops by 20%, stacking with Logistics skills. ¡ª-Captain¡¯s Armband: C-grade strategic treasure, increases the hero¡¯s Command Power by 30 points. ¡ª-Skill Book: Use to gain one Skill Point, can also be used on a Vice Hero. ¡ª-Life Book: Use to gain 20 points of life, can also be used on a Vice Hero. ¡­ Before Little Li could even make out the long list of system prompts, a huge rock whistles through the door! Bang! Little Li¡¯s world goes dark as she experiences her first virgin death in the game! ¡°Did you get it?! Did you get it?!¡± Little Fang yells frantically in the dormitory, taking off her helmet and vigorously shaking Little Li¡¯s shoulders! Little Li replies with an ¡°oh¡±: ¡°Seems like 20,000 Gold Coins and some other things, but I think I died!¡± Little Fang laughs loudly: ¡°Jackpot! I didn¡¯t lie to you, did I? Not even half an hour into the game and I¡¯ve already made you money!¡± Little Li excitedly asks: ¡°How much can 20,000 Gold Coins sell for? 4000 RMB?¡± Little Fang laughs and puts on her helmet: ¡°That¡¯s small change! Let me check out what the other stuff is!¡± Random treasure vaults refer to hidden treasure chests within instances. The location of chests changes each time you enter the same instance, and the loot for higher-level players opening chests is different from that of lower-level players. This is a significant demonstration of the instance¡¯s value, an integral feature that keeps players ¡°enjoying endlessly¡± and ¡°intoxicated¡± by the game. However, finding a random treasure vault is as challenging as getting a hidden quest, requiring players to have keen observation, tenacity, and especially luck. It¡¯s something that¡¯s often sought but seldom found. ¡­ In the Grey Stone Town church square, white lights flash repeatedly as the whole group from Ninth Heaven¡¯s 4th pioneering team resurrect and assemble in succession. The instigators, the beauties of Bloodrose, stand by with an indifferent look on their faces, secretly snickering and watching from the sidelines. Currently, Divine Flame is reporting to the Guild Leader: ¡°Boss, I beg you! Assign the beauties to other teams next time, I can¡¯t handle this good fortune!¡± Divine Emperor sighs: ¡°Brother, it¡¯s tough on you! But hang in there for now, your temper is the only one that can suppress the evil.¡± ¡°Suppress my ass!¡± And at this moment, the church square lights up, as Fleeting Blossom and Harem Beauty appear one after the other. The women of Bloodrose take a sidelong glance teasingly, only to be shocked and stunned! They see the character named Harem Beauty with continuous bursts of golden glow above her head, which means she¡¯s leveling up continuously! That¡¯s right, just now Little Li opened the treasure chest and gained 200,000 experience before dying. After resurrection, she naturally continues to level up! In an instant, 200,000 experience points take Little Li to level 10! Instantly, the whole team is in an uproar! Divine Flame¡¯s eyebrows twitch, and he steps forward to ask: ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Little Li looks up at the towering team leader and, feeling guilty, bows her head unsure of what to say. Little Fang laughs: ¡°Sorry, but we just found a treasure vault after a minecart crash. The boss killed her because she was the lowest level, allowing her to pick up the chest.¡± ¡°A treasure chest!¡± The whole team erupts in excitement! The beauties of Bloodrose are even more incredulous! Divine Flame looks astonished and asks urgently: ¡°What did you get? What did you get?¡± Little Fang laughs in the dormitory: ¡°Wife, show them the picture! We¡¯re in a large guild with big corporations; there¡¯s no need to keep it secret!¡± Little Li says ¡°oh¡±: ¡°How do I post a picture?¡± ¡°Do this, then that¡­¡± When Little Li publicly displays her loot, the whole team explodes in excitement! Everything else is trivial, but it¡¯s that Skill Book that¡¯s key! Especially later on, when leveling is as hard as ascending to the heavens, the only way to fill up skills is through special tasks rewarding Skill Points and Skill Books! However, tasks rewarding Skill Points can hardly compare with Skill Books, as the latter¡¯s late-stage growth for Vice Heroes is the real challenge! Divine Flame immediately reacts, jaw dropping, and incoherently blurts out: ¡°Sell it to me! Sell me the Skill Book aahhh!!!¡± Little Fang laughs: ¡°Sure! If it weren¡¯t for the Guild Leader¡¯s blessing, we wouldn¡¯t have been able to get there. Just name your price!¡± Divine Flame, with a fierce expression, stretches out a trembling hand and opens five fingers! The crowd goes silent at once! Little Li exclaims in surprise: ¡°Five hundred?¡± Divine Flame let out a long breath, his voice quiet and shy: ¡°Five, five thousand¡­¡± Little Li¡¯s eyes widen in shock: ¡°Five, five thousand!!!¡± Little Fang sighed softly, somewhat disappointedly pouting, ¡°Five thousand¡­¡± Divine Flame¡¯s eyelid twitched, retracting three fingers and gritting his teeth, ¡°Then eight thousand, eight thousand!!!¡± Little Li, startled, her eyebrows jumped, ¡°Eight thousand!!¡± A hushed silence fell over the crowd! Little Fang chuckled, ¡°Then eight thousand it is. The team leader has had it the hardest; right, wifey?¡± Little Li hurriedly nodded, ¡°Yeah, yeah!¡± Divine Flame pumped his fist excitedly, ¡°Thank you! Thank you, beauties! What¡¯s your account number? Which bank? I¡¯ll transfer the money right away!¡± Little Fang laughed heartily, ¡°Does wifey have a Taojin account?¡± Little Li, taken aback, ¡°No.¡± Little Fang grinned, ¡°Then take this chance to set up a new one. Please wait a moment, team leader.¡± Divine Flame quickly responded, ¡°No problem, no problem!¡± Immediately turning to the bystanders in the square, he announced, ¡°Dismissed! Dismissed!¡± ¡°Team leader, aren¡¯t we having the routine failure debriefing?¡± Divine Flame waved impatiently, ¡°Failure is the mother of success; I¡¯ve said my piece, go on, go do whatever you have to do!¡± The crowd dispersed amid a chorus of jeers. At Bloodrose Studio, the faces of the girls from Bloodrose were not looking good. What was this all about? A wiped team, and they ended up gifting benefits to someone else. Big Sister Zhou Qing laughed coldly, ¡°Alright, beauties, go do what you have to do!¡± Bloodrose Qiqi complained angrily, ¡°The more I think about it, the more I can¡¯t stand it! I¡¯m not convinced!¡± Zhou Qing shook her head with a chuckling smile, ¡°Then let¡¯s shift our mood, tomorrow Star¡¯s Little Pig Run will come to our city to develop. Do you know who Little Pig Run is?¡± The girls were surprised, ¡°The Griffin Breeder who¡¯s ranked 4th in the world?¡± Bloodrose Qiqi¡¯s eyebrows twitched, ¡°Does Big Sister mean that we should deliberately get close to Star, just to annoy Ninth Heaven?¡± Zhou Qing chuckled, ¡°Let others think what they want; in any case, everyone, just do what you need to do.¡± The girls laughed heartily, ¡°Got it, this is called fighting fire with fire!¡± ¡­ When Little Li saw the added 8000 RMB in her new Taojin account, she rubbed her eyes hard, unable to believe them, ¡°I just played for half an hour and earned eight thousand!¡± Little Fang laughed loudly, ¡°Psh! Don¡¯t get ahead of yourself; you still owe me money for the computer!¡± Little Li laughed, ¡°I¡¯m already being kept by you, wife, what¡¯s there to return!¡± Little Fang suddenly surprised, ¡°Turns out you¡¯re so greedy for money? Why do you never give face to any of those rich lads who chase after you?¡± Little Li¡¯s expression darkened, ¡°Earning my own money is different from others giving me money!¡± Little Fang laughed, ¡°I see! Do you want to earn even more money?¡± Little Li, piqued with interest, nodded excitedly, ¡°Is that even a question? Believe it or not, I¡¯ll earn more than you and keep you!¡± Little Fang roared with laughter, ¡°Please, wealthy lady, keep me!¡± At this moment, Divine Flame, who had finally obtained the Skill Book he wished for, chuckled, ¡°Thank you, both of you. If there¡¯s anything you need in the future, just tell me. Can I add you as friends?¡± Little Fang laughed, ¡°What an honor to add the great team leader of Ninth Heaven as a friend!¡± Divine Flame blushed with a shy smile, ¡°Next time when the instance¡¯s CD is refreshed, give a shout if you two are free; I may not be good at anything else, but leading a team is no problem for me.¡± Little Fang laughed, ¡°No problem. It would be best if there are more surprises like today¡¯s!¡± Divine Flame shook his head with a wistful smile, ¡°That was unavoidable. Alright, I need to go level up; I must excuse myself!¡± ¡°Take care, team leader!¡± After Divine Flame left, Little Li chuckled, ¡°Truly worthy of being a queen, always hooking men the moment there¡¯s a chance. This man who has caught our Queen¡¯s fancy must be a top gamer, right?¡± Little Fang smiled faintly, ¡°It¡¯s called networking, you know? The guy doesn¡¯t have to be the strongest, but speaking of the strongest men¨C¡± She paused, her expression turning stern and cold with a sneer, ¡°I do know there¡¯s a top dog who is the nemesis of that bunch of scum! It¡¯s just that there hasn¡¯t been a chance to meet him, but if we do, we must forge a good relationship to thoroughly gross out those pieces of trash. They wanted to sicken us today but failed; we¡¯ll definitely have our chance to return the favor!¡± Little Li gave a wry smile, ¡°True to your Queen¡¯s nature, you never take a loss. But who is this strongest man?¡± Little Fang shook her head, ¡°Da Fei! The best in the national service, universally acknowledged as the worst in terms of character; known as the world¡¯s number one scumbag!¡± Little Li exclaimed in shock, ¡°You dare to make connections with such a person?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Little Fang laughed, ¡°What¡¯s there to fear in a game? It¡¯s all fine as long as we don¡¯t meet in person.¡± She then spoke seriously, ¡°The early stages of the game are extremely valuable; it¡¯s the easiest time to make money. I plan to undertake a major venture soon. Are you willing to stay up late with me?¡± Little Li, curious, ¡°What kind of venture requires staying up all night?¡± Little Fang solemnly said, ¡°I¡¯m taking on an epic project to dig a canal to the sea. Once this project is successful, today¡¯s earnings of eight thousand will be just a drizzle. Will you do it?¡± Little Li coldly smiled, ¡°Just staying up late, if you can endure it, so can I!¡± Little Fang laughed loudly, ¡°You¡¯re truly my wife, come here wifey, muah~~~¡± (To be continued.

Renior once said that although a navigator is a thrilling and adventurous job, it is equally a tedious and boring one. For most of the time, the sailors face nothing but the endless, empty sea day after day. Various symptoms of homesickness, phobias, and anxiety emerge. Luckily, it seemed the system wouldn¡¯t let Da Fei feel bored. On the 7th day of the voyage, another unidentified red dot approached the fleet. Nothing else to say, Skira transformed and set off¨Cscram! Successful, obtained 100,000 experience points. On the 8th day of the voyage, a strange and vague song drifted over the ice ocean. Still, nothing else to say, continue to transform into Skira and let out a roar! The song abruptly stopped, and another 200,000 experience points were obtained. On the 9th day of the voyage, another unidentified sea monster passed by, continued to drive them away. Da Fei couldn¡¯t figure out whether these sea monsters were sent from the S-level Chamber of Commerce commission missions or from the resurrection mission of the Chamber of Commerce, but anyway, in front of Skira, they were all cowards ready to flee! He never imagined that his greatest enemy would become his Guardian God; this truly was a fickle world, making Da Fei sigh endlessly. And each time Skira¡¯s phantom appeared, the blackness on Skira¡¯s body increased a bit, getting closer and closer to the appearance of Skira¡¯s true form. This gave Da Fei infinite anticipation for completely replicating Skira¡¯s true form to promote God-level Magic! Now it was the 10th day of the voyage, it¡¯s 3 a.m. in real-life time, and Da Fei had been sleepless for more than 24 hours, with his eyelids constantly at odds. He wanted to sleep but dared not! Oceanic voyages were such a tormenting task! Da Fei felt like time was unbearable as if staying up all-night gaming was nothing compared to this! In the end, the Deputy Officer was underperforming! If Catherine were on board, he could barely wrap himself in his helmet and sleep comfortably. Well, wait! Actually, should he leave it to Anlicia? Before entering the ice ocean, there were concerns that Anlicia¡¯s skills were insufficient, failing to meet the flagship navigation requirements, and she would fall behind. But now, it was different. In this endless floating sea of ice, the fleet¡¯s speed couldn¡¯t be slower, and in any case, they wouldn¡¯t fall behind, right? Da Fei called Anlicia over, ¡°You have performed exceptionally well; it¡¯s time for you to single-handedly take over the ship. Do you have confidence?¡± Anlicia sighed, ¡°Just say you want to rest! Go ahead with peace of mind!¡± Finishing her sentence, she enthusiastically shoved Da Fei from the helm and tinkered with the steering wheel like a child driving a toy car at an amusement park. Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but laugh, ¡°Alright, alright, you¡¯re a genius, don¡¯t mess things up!¡± Anlicia snorted, ¡°If anything happens, it¡¯s not my fault! It¡¯s the Captain¡¯s poor judgment!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You have changed Anlicia¡¯s Deputy Officer position to First Officer. Da Fei was greatly relieved, sighed deeply, set the alarm, and had his game avatar wrapped in a blanket, nestled in the corner of the cockpit to nap. Of course, he was ready to be awakened every hour or two. Thus, Da Fei drifted between sleep and wakefulness, nodding off until dawn, ordered a steak and egg noodle takeout, wolfed it down in two bites, then fell back asleep until lunchtime, only to be woken by a sea monster alert and ordered another lunch box takeout, squatting on the toilet while balancing a helmet and eating simultaneously, then sleeping again. In summary, he groggily muddled through until 5 p.m., finally freshening up and recuperating. At this time, it was already the 16th day of the voyage. Perhaps another night and by noon tomorrow, they¡¯d arrive? Damn it, playing this game was too hard! Even long-haul buses have two or three drivers taking turns, who could switch out with him? Tch! He didn¡¯t trust player partners, he¡¯d have to hold on and train Anlicia into a navigator to take over! On the 17th day, the overcast clouds that hovered for days disappeared without a trace, revealing a clear sky, with sunlight illuminating countless icebergs on the ocean, reflecting dazzling brilliance. In the sunlight, the icy wind seemed to carry a hint of warmth. The sailors unconsciously began exercising on deck. Anlicia, tired from several days of duty, also napped wrapped in winter clothes on a sunlight-laden windowsill. It was a rare beautiful sunny day, the last thing he wanted was for a sea monster to spoil it. Suddenly, Da Fei noticed a small yellow dot on his radar! Yellow dot? On the radar, green dots indicated friendly creatures, red dots indicated hostile or aggressive creatures, and yellow dots indicated neutral creatures, typically animals, which meant this animal was quite large if visible on the radar. Da Fei gazed in the direction of the yellow dot, unable to see it! A submerged sea monster? Da Fei confirmed the Z-axis of the yellow dot again, the sea surface Z-value is 0, sea monster Z-values are typically 0 or negative, but this yellow dot wasn¡¯t negative and even had a large value, in the sky? Da Fei looked up, the sunlight dazzled his vision, where was it? This meant the yellow dot was flying rather high? Perhaps just aligned with the sun, making it undetectable? However, as long as it wasn¡¯t a hostile creature, it should be manageable. Generally, birds were rarely seen in the deep ocean; their presence usually indicated proximity to land. Da Fei took out his Sea Chart to check the route, seemingly still in the open ocean with no nearby land or notable islands. Could there be undiscovered hidden islands waiting for players to find? Damn, he was a busy man, not that free to wander. The fleet continued forward, and by afternoon the sunlight grew warmer, and the sailors¡¯ morale soared. Fire Dragon Island remained icebound for ten months a year, and now was the two-month thawing period, and these icebergs littering the ice ocean were naturally thawing products. Yet Da Fei found it strange; since the thawing period was so short and crucial, why didn¡¯t the Alliance massively organize fleets for concentrated transport of supplies? Otherwise, why was his fleet the only one along the way? Did Little Coltner speak the truth about Fire Dragon Island being so troublesome that no fleet wanted to take on the job? Or was the island¡¯s status within the Alliance unimportant? But the fat Military Department officer said it was where the Evil Dragon was sealed, it¡¯s supposed to be significant, right? Suddenly, Da Fei realized he had made a huge mistake by not gathering more information about Fire Dragon Island! At this moment, Da Fei noticed the yellow dot still on his radar. What was going on? That yellow dot was still following him? Although some dolphins and seagulls like to follow ships, such a large unidentified organism preferring to follow his ship was concerning, right? Da Fei was instantly alert, pulling out binoculars to look skyward again, still invisible! The sunlight was blinding! Da Fei felt a shock in his heart! There was an issue! If it had been in the sun¡¯s location this morning, that made sense, but it was afternoon now, and it still hovered at the sun¡¯s location? More precisely, it stayed between the fleet and the sun so that whenever viewed, the sunlight blocked the sight! This was definitely not a normal animal, right? In the Northern Ocean, what dangers were there aside from floating ice sea monsters? Da Fei hurriedly shouted for the Order Flag Bearer: ¡°Notify the flagship, something¡¯s flying overhead, does anyone know what¡¯s flying? It¡¯s been following us since morning!¡± Before long, the flag bearer quickly returned to report, ¡°Captain, they didn¡¯t see anything flying!¡± Damn it all! Da Fei quickly climbed up to the lookout, temporarily serving as the Sailing Captain, allowing the entire fleet to share his god-level vision! ¡°Did you see that!? I know you still can¡¯t see it, neither can I, guess what it is!¡± The Order Flag Bearer immediately said, ¡°Captain, the Whale Hunter sent a message, it might be an Albatross!¡± Albatross? Indeed a large seabird! But the question is¨C Da Fei urgently shouted, ¡°The question is, is there such a powerful Albatross, one that always blocks the sun?!¡± The flag bearer replied, ¡°Captain, the flagship sent a message; it may be the legendary Viking Pirates!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched, Viking Pirates!? The official game materials introduced major pirate factions: Desolate Island Pirates, Innocent Pirates, Blood Sail Pirates, Blood Raider Pirates, and the New World Pirate King¡¯s Caribbean Pirates. But indeed, there were no Viking Pirates! To some extent, the Vikings, as believers of Odin in Nordic Mythology, had long transcended the mortal realm! Being an expert, Da Fei perfectly understood that every word an NPC uttered had some basis, reflecting the system¡¯s disclosed information. In short, if an NPC said something existed, then it did! Skira¡¯s phantom works well against sea monsters, but not necessarily against pirates. Da Fei yelled, ¡°Meeting! Meeting!¡± Now, Da Fei¡¯s vessel and Spielberg¡¯s boat approached the Radiant Wings. At this moment, Little Coltner hurriedly came to the helms, anxiously shouting, ¡°Captain, it¡¯s said the legendary Viking Pirates have the ability to train Albatrosses as scouts! An Albatross strategically using the sun to conceal itself must be specially trained, likely by the Vikings! This is exactly the sea area where Vikings are rumored to appear!¡± Spielberg frowned, ¡°But the Viking Pirates exist only in legends! No one has seen them for a thousand years.¡± Little Coltner anxiously replied, ¡°That¡¯s because those who saw them are all dead!¡± Spielberg said gravely, ¡°Do you have any basis?¡± Little Coltner was instantly silent, ¡°All I know is the Northern Ocean is dangerous.¡± Enough said! Better believe there is than not, if an NPC says something exists, it exists! Da Fei said sternly, ¡°If they¡¯re Vikings, then what¡¯s their next move?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Little Coltner said hesitantly, ¡°Of course, intercepting us in the direction we¡¯re heading or pursuing us from behind! After all, there aren¡¯t many islands nearby; it¡¯s hard to believe there¡¯s a Viking base, so they too must¡¯ve traveled a long distance to track us.¡± Spielberg frowned, ¡°In legends, the Viking combat strength is unbelievably strong. This area of floating ice is perfect for their renowned oar-driven dragonhead assault ships to ambush. If encountered, we will surely lose!¡± I see! After all the hard work till now, there¡¯s absolutely no turning back! Staring at the gradually setting sun, Da Fei decisively commanded, ¡°Once night falls, our fleet will change course and proceed around them!¡± I refuse to believe that in this vast ocean, I cannot both evade and escape!

Chapter 233 - Chapter 233: Chapter 220: The Divine Artifact that Creates the Ghost Ship Chapter 233: Chapter 220: The Divine Artifact that Creates the Ghost Ship The night falls, and the long-absent moon appears in the cold night sky of the Northern Ocean. Under the moonlight, the ice floes of the Ice Ocean reflect each other beautifully. Great, there¡¯s even no need for lighting. Da Fei¡¯s fleet makes a horizontal turn and takes a detour in the blackout. Of course, this means taking a longer route, and what¡¯s more important, it will pass through completely unfamiliar waters, even areas that no one has ever ventured into before. This is the most troublesome and dangerous part. Maybe the Vikings are foolishly waiting ahead in the cold wind? Maybe foolishly chasing from behind? Or maybe scaring himself for nothing? It doesn¡¯t matter. Better safe than sorry, especially since we¡¯ve come this far. A night without incident, and the next day is another clear day. At this time, the fleet is still heading farther away from the original course. Da Fei keeps looking up at the sky to see if there are any yellow spots appearing, but for now, there are none. Maybe the opposition has suddenly lost the target and is searching too? To be safe, Da Fei decides to keep going for another day and night, and then correct the course tomorrow morning. Since they¡¯ve already taken a cautious detour, they might as well be thoroughly careful. While looking around, a system prompt sounds. ¡ª-System Prompt: Your Divine Artifact Equipment, the Sea Soul Staff, has completed absorbing and transforming souls, gaining 4630 points of Mana, acquiring a Middle-level Sea Soul +1, and the Sea Soul Staff has gained a special skill: Ghost Ship Rebirth. ¡ª-Ghost Ship Rebirth: The Sea Soul transformed by the Sea Soul Staff can be infused into the ship, creating a Ghost Ship! Da Fei is suddenly startled! Creating a Ghost Ship! At the same time, Anlicia also takes out her Magic Wand in surprise and says, ¡°Wow! The Magic Wand has changed its appearance!¡± At this moment, the Magic Wand is surrounded by enchanting Demon Light, no longer just a transparent glass bead and bone wand! Indeed, this looks like a Divine Artifact! Looking at this special skill that suddenly appeared, Da Fei suddenly realizes! So this is how a Ghost Ship comes into being, indeed the Divine Artifact dropped by the BOSS and the BOSS¡¯s skills are somewhat related, aren¡¯t they? So how do you use this transformation skill? At least find a ship first, right? Can my current seat ship be used? Let¡¯s try? Then just try, really bored and itching to do something. Choose to use the Ghost Ship Rebirth special skill! ¡ª-System Prompt: Currently, your Divine Artifact reserves one Middle-level Sea Soul, which can be used for rebirth on medium or small ships. The higher the level of the Sea Soul, the more worn the ship, the better the rebirth effect. ¡ª-System Prompt: Are you sure you want to rebirth the Middle-level Sea Soul on your ¡°Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship¡±? This transformation will consume 3000 points of the Sea Soul Staff¡¯s reserved Mana. Confirm! The Magic Wand flashes, and a white wisp of smoke drifts out from the glass bead, swirling around the cockpit momentarily before disappearing. ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully transformed your medium armored transport into a Level 0 Ghost Ship! Ship speed +2, Defense -15, Durability upper limit -4000, added special skill: Emergency Acceleration. Da Fei is dumbfounded on the spot! What the heck! Renior¡¯s transformation into a Ghost Ship is to massively boost Defense and Health to withstand Skira, and now mine reduces Defense and Health? Is it because my ship is too new and not worn enough, so the transformation effect is poor? Da Fei hurries to check the ship attributes: Ship name: Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship (renamable). Current level: 0. Ship special skill: Emergency Acceleration. Activating this skill will further increase the overall speed of the ship by 20%, but once the skill is activated, the ship¡¯s maneuverability will greatly reduce, and its Durability will continually decline. Ship cargo capacity: 300 units Gun Cabin: 4 gun positions. (2 on the port side, 2 on the starboard side) Minimum sailor capacity: 8 people Ship Durability: 26000/26000 (-4000) Speed: 10 (+2) Ship Armor Defense: Port 35, Starboard 35, Bow 15, Stern 15. (-15) ¡­ Currently at level 0! That means the ship has gained life, which is essential for a Ghost Ship! It¡¯s also gained a special skill but the cost is losing Blood Defense! Damn, isn¡¯t this special skill exactly the Octopus¡¯s Emergency Acceleration skill? Da Fei suddenly realizes, this ship is indeed possessed by the soul of an octopus! It seems that the sea soul of different creatures will determine the attributes of the Ghost Ship! No wonder it¡¯s completely different from Renior¡¯s. Speaking of this Giant Octopus¡¯s special skill, other than constantly losing blood and unable to turn, it¡¯s damn awesome because this skill provides an overall enhancement. The 20% from this Emergency Acceleration is a totally different concept from the 20% increase in base ship speed per level of Sailing Skill. If Catherine was to navigate this ship, her Grandmaster Sailing Skill increases the speed by 120% plus the 25% from being a Master-level Pirate, then a 10 points speed could go up to 24.5! Then activate Emergency Acceleration and increase the speed by another 20% to 29.4! The ship¡¯s maximum speed is 29.4 meters per second! That¡¯s like an F1 powerboat! The higher the Sailing Skill of the Captain and First Officer, the more useful this Emergency Acceleration skill! Holy crap, such a great special skill on a medium-sized ship, what a pity! No no no, can¡¯t think like that! I¡¯ve been spoiled by owning two large ships, so I look down on medium-sized ships, but actually, players can only sail medium-sized ships for quite some time, right? I can sell it! Lowering the attribute doesn¡¯t matter, as the ship now has life and can gradually upgrade and recover its attributes! And medium-sized ships have their irreplaceable value, like in rivers, shoals, swamps, places where large ships can¡¯t go. Just convert all cargo holds to gun cabins, and it¡¯ll be a perfect high-speed small gunboat reigning supreme in rivers! This ship can definitely fetch a good price! 100,000? 200,000? 300,000? Hahaha, about the price of a small car! No no no, wait until I level it up a few times, and its attributes get stronger, then it will definitely sell well! This Divine Artifact really lives up to being a Divine Artifact, just absorb a few more Sea Souls and I can mass-produce special skill Ghost Ships! I¡¯m really going to strike it big! This is like finding a money printing machine! Hahaha, I¡¯m so awesome! Ah wait! Mass production? It can¡¯t be that easy, can it? To transform a medium-sized ship requires a Middle-level Sea Soul. Why does a Giant Octopus which can escape easily provide 200,000 Experience, and only powerful Sea Monsters that can drop ship figureheads as specialty products are Middle-level Sea Souls? What about the High-level Sea Souls required to transform large ships? Are they Renior-like hero BOSS level creatures? Damn! If transforming a medium-sized ship requires killing an Octopus-level Sea Monster, then producing Ghost Ships is not only tough but also involves considerable risks! Think about all these Sea Monsters these past few days, which one could I actually beat? Let alone think about transforming large ships! Upon realization, Da Fei shakes his head and laughs heartily, thinking too much! Focusing on what¡¯s in the bowl while eyeing what¡¯s in the field, can I manage that? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Anyway, Da Fei, having figured out the use of the Divine Artifact, feels refreshed and relieved, sweeping away the overnight fatigue. Another day has passed, the Albatross hasn¡¯t appeared, which is good! Running another night, completely throwing off the Vikings. Around midnight, the ethereal singing comes again, Da Fei¡¯s heart tightens, another Sea Demon! But why does this singing sound so ethereal and clear and not at all demonic? No matter that, Da Fei waves his hand at Anlicia: ¡°Skira get ready!¡± Just then, the Order Flag Bearer joyfully reports: ¡°Captain, the Whale Hunter has sent a message, we might have encountered a Sea Hermit!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 234 - Chapter 234: Chapter 221 Mermaid Saint Chapter 234: Chapter 221 Mermaid Saint The wilderness world in the game often had many special function buildings. For example, there was the Wisdom Ancient Tree mentioned earlier, which players encountered were guaranteed to level up and either upgrade a skill or comprehend a new skill. Such function buildings also included the Desert Oasis, where players that encountered it would permanently increase their life by a certain amount. There was also the Heroic Battle Banner on the ancient battlefield, where players would permanently increase their attack and defense damage. Additionally, Swan Lake increased a player¡¯s stamina limit and temporarily boosted their luck for a few points, lasting a month. There was also the Magic Hall, where players would permanently increase their mana by a certain amount and learn a hidden spell not recorded in a Magic Book. And the most heart-wrenching was the Prophet Hut, where the Prophet would ask the player for something urgently needed, possibly a troop, perhaps a treasure, or a resource. If the player happened to have it, the reward might even be a Divine Artifact. And these function buildings appeared randomly; as soon as a player encountered one, it would vanish. They were truly serendipitous encounters. And the Sea Hermit was undoubtedly one of these function buildings! For a moment, Da Fei was inexplicably excited! The vast sea was not just all foes; a brother could encounter good guys too! Wahaha, that was the benefit of deviating from the course! Indeed, these function buildings usually only randomly appeared in such remote locations. They would never appear by busy roads with lots of foot traffic. The fleet proceeded toward the direction of the singing. They saw it, in the moonlight, a giant whale like a small island surfacing to spray water, with a mermaid sitting on its back, shining golden and singing loudly! ¡°Mermaid!¡± The sailors of the entire fleet cheered! Da Fei was even more astonished, his jaw dropped to the ground! In the Sea Realm, the status of mermaids was comparable to angels in the Divine Realm! A mermaid¡¯s combat power might not be the strongest, but their status was undoubtedly the highest. Encountering a mermaid was akin to meeting an angel. Mortals, have you ever seen an angel in your lifetime? Probably not even a single feather of an angel, right? Damn, a mermaid! This hermit was too upscale! It must be! It couldn¡¯t always be God-level Sea Monsters causing me trouble; there always had to be some God-level mermaids to comfort the players, right? Da Fei immediately put on his unused Captain¡¯s uniform, adjusted his Captain¡¯s hat, and stood at the bow ready to pay respects to this upscale hermit. The fleet stopped by the giant whale. The mermaid stopped singing, and a misty, poetic ethereal voice echoed across the Ice Ocean, ¡°In this vast lonely sea, encountering a visit from mortals is indeed a very pleasant and very fortunate thing. Let us share the luck that the gods granted us!¡± The mermaid waved her hand, and a large rainbow light enveloped the fleet! ¨CSystem Prompt: You paid your respects to the Mermaid Saint. Your troops¡¯ luck increased by 5, your fleet¡¯s speed went up, duration one month! ¨CSystem Prompt: The Mermaid Saint temporarily increased your Luck Skill Level to Master-level, duration one month! ¨CSystem Prompt: The Mermaid Saint increased your Vice Heroes¡¯ Luck Skill Level, Selvia learned the Basic Luck Skill! ¨CSystem Prompt: ¡­Catherine learned the Basic Luck Skill! ¨CSystem Prompt: Anlicia advanced to Advanced Luck Technique! The entire force¡¯s luck increased! All heroes¡¯ Luck Skill Levels were raised! My Master Level Luck Skill as well, damn, why didn¡¯t it directly upgrade to Grandmaster? Was Grandmaster something even Saints couldn¡¯t directly teach? The mermaid¡¯s ethereal beautiful voice emerged again, ¡°Mortal, you seem puzzled. Is there anything unclear? I can answer one question for you.¡± Me, puzzled? Well, in front of a Saint, mortals always looked dumb. Alright then, now the main course began, upgrading skills was just the appetizer! The difference between a master and a novice was right here! Given the same opportunity, a novice usually would ask for a bowl of rice, while a master would ask for a seed! Of course, I was the master, and the question I asked must be beneficial now and for future generations! Now, I had a few questions I really wanted to ask: 1. How do mermaids reproduce offspring? 2. How can I get a mermaid to join my harem? 3. How can I formally advance to Master-level Luck Skill? 4. Are the Vikings after me with axes? Shallow, these questions are too shallow! I¡¯m destined to advance to all Grandmaster, stomp the Vikings, and gather mermaids! Why bother asking these questions? Da Fei chose the least personal question: ¡°May I ask, Saint, my Chamber of Commerce¡¯s fleet is cursed by the Sea God. How do I resolve this?¡± The mermaid laughed heartily, her laugh echoing in the night sky, and dark clouds instantly veiled the moon, as if even the moon was shy. The mermaid seriously said, ¡°This question is well asked. I appeared here specifically for this matter. Your appearance here shows that you didn¡¯t disappoint me!¡± Da Fei suddenly realized! This hermit was not an ordinary hermit; it was a hint for the Chamber of Commerce¡¯s Epic Quest! I was just saying my luck was too good! I could encounter this in the vast sea! Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Please guide me, Saint!¡± The mermaid solemnly said, ¡°Your Chamber of Commerce once plundered a Sea God Altar, not only seizing the Sea God¡¯s Divine Artifact but also abducting the mermaid head priestess in charge of the sacrifice. The Sea God might not care about a Divine Artifact, but he sure cares about his head priestess. If you can return that head priestess, you might be able to quell the Sea God¡¯s anger. I give you a token; after you find the head priestess, you can use it to contact me. Of course, if you cannot manage it, it can be seen as a gift to the brave and wise mortal who met me.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You obtained the task item ¡°Mermaid Harp.¡± ¨CMermaid Harp: S-level strategic treasure, enhances Poetry Chanting Skill +1, Quest Item. Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched with astonishment, a treasure gift! Just like the Blood Eagle Flute, it also enhanced skill levels! Damn, was this considered a stage reward for me evading the Sea God¡¯s relentless pursuit? ¡°Mortal, I hope we meet again!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The giant whale let out a roar, spewed out a massive fountain, stirring a tumultuous wave that rocked the fleet and carried the mermaid, submerging into the sea, vanishing. Da Fei steadied himself against the ship railings, utterly stunned. Was this giant whale demonstrating power? Was this the strength of a saint under the Sea God? Was it warning me that opposing the Sea God was utmost folly? Damn, wasn¡¯t it obvious! It wasn¡¯t like I wanted to oppose the Sea God! Turns out, Makar only knew part of the story, while the Chamber of Commerce had also captured a Mermaid Priest. What did they do with her? Put her in a zoo? Exotic harem? Seems like the trouble was indeed significant. Anyway, passing this hurdle first was essential. Having this treasure could at least appease Selvia. Now, the fleet set sail again. (To be continued.

Chapter 235 - Chapter 235: Chapter 222: The Final Breakthrough Chapter 235: Chapter 222: The Final Breakthrough Daylight breaks, and after a day and two nights of detours, Da Fei¡¯s fleet adjusts its course once again towards Fire Dragon Island. The sailors were on a high after meeting the mermaid last night, with many off-duty ones convinced of their loaded luck, itching to place bets against their mates. And then, some were jubilant, others despondent¨Csuch foolish mortals indeed. I must say, the fleet¡¯s Luck Value is terrifyingly high now! Da Fei has a temporary +6 Grandmaster level, the mermaid adds another temporary +5, and with the Misfortune Hourglass during battle, we get +5 more. That¡¯s 16 points in total, meaning the troops have a 32% chance to deal a critical hit with double damage. It¡¯s so strong it¡¯s almost blinding! Of course, Da Fei isn¡¯t so naive as to be dazzled by this unreliable luck. So what if it¡¯s 100% lucky? The fleet only has so many novice sailors and soldiers of this caliber. Da Fei would love to set sail fully armed, but the issue is that all his troops in the Elf Kingdom are tied up at the Pool of Radiance and can¡¯t come out. Forget about even thinking of war. What Da Fei is now pondering is how to achieve Master-level Luck Skill. Based on my previous experience with advancing to Master, if one could preemptively experience what it¡¯s like to be a Master, or use auxiliary skills to infinitely approach the effects of a Master, it would make grasping the true essence of a Master easier. With just one month¡¯s time, which is 3 days in reality, this opportunity cannot be missed no matter what. Once missed, it would be harder to attain. But luck is such an intangible and elusive thing¨Chow can I grasp it? I¡¯m completely clueless! Throughout this day, Da Fei continued to monitor the sky. No yellow dots appeared, nor did sea monsters. It was still a peaceful night. It looks like we¡¯ve temporarily shaken off these so-called Viking Pirates¨Cif they really exist. On the 19th day, the weather turned gloomy, yet no abnormalities surfaced. This was extremely unsettling for Da Fei, who had grown used to being harassed by sea monsters every day. The 20th day, still no abnormalities! Da Fei felt unbearably itchy; this is the rhythm of asking for trouble! It¡¯s one thing to lose the pirates, but why haven¡¯t any sea monsters appeared for three consecutive days? Considering I¡¯m on an S-class cargo mission coupled with an Epic Quest, it¡¯s simply unreasonable not to have sea monsters greeting us daily! Could it be that meeting the mermaid and receiving the next Task Hint is like getting a bit of amnesty? No way, the Chamber of Commerce is still causing a fuss. Could the mermaid¡¯s luck bonus mean not encountering sea monsters? Impossible, this is a game after all; luck doesn¡¯t have such a setting. Surrounded by suspicion, doubts, and anxiety, another day passed. By now, Da Fei had spent all night awake, and daylight greeted him once more. He ordered some takeout to eat his fill, washed his face with cold water to clear and calm his mind, and to alleviate some anxiety. It¡¯s the 21st day of the voyage, and according to the Sea Chart, we¡¯re nearing Fire Dragon Island. At the current speed, about three days of travel remain. Still, nothing out of the ordinary has happened. Da Fei can no longer bear it! The absence of odd events is the greatest oddity itself, isn¡¯t it? Should we take another detour? Damn it, we¡¯re almost at the destination; why detour any more? Isn¡¯t it just torturing myself? I¡¯m not even sure whether the Vikings are actually following. I refuse to believe the vast sea can block my way! We¡¯re almost there; just rush directly! No! Calm down! People tend to lower their guard at the very last moment! This is the last critical moment! Think about it, if I were the enemy, having been led astray and lost the target, how would I track them down? This is a question worth pondering. It¡¯s like playing chess with someone else; of course, you have to consider the opponent¡¯s possible moves. Only someone who thinks they are clever and takes everyone else for a fool is the real fool. Not to mention, currently, my opponent is the computer, and I¡¯ve never won a game of chess against the computer, have I? No way! Back in the factory when I was on duty, the darn old computer only had Minesweeper, Poker, and chess¨Cthese three ridiculous brain games! Why must it be brain games! Alright, keep calm! Catherine once said that to be a pirate who robs merchant ships, you must first be a qualified merchant, only by understanding the habits and thinking of merchants and keeping up with the latest market trends can you possibly intercept them in the seas where they¡¯re most likely to appear. That is to say, if I were a Viking Pirate, what should I do now? Holy shit! Do I even need to think about it? Of course it¡¯s to ambush near the final stop! The monk can run but the temple won¡¯t run away, there¡¯s only Fire Dragon Island nearby in this vast North Sea, even if the Vikings think with their butts they know my fleet is headed to Fire Dragon Island. So the easiest way is to just wait near Fire Dragon Island, a small search area, stick to the plan no matter what, it¡¯s useless for me to try to detour! Goddamnit, it has to be this way! The sudden realization had Da Fei shattered! F*ck, if I had three ships of Druids, thousands of Flower Demons, hundreds of Forest Goddesses, I wouldn¡¯t give a damn about the Viking Pirates, I¡¯d thunder on killing gods and demons alike on my way! The problem is I have no troops! Even if I really had three ships of Druids, could I really be confident in fighting the legendary Vikings in these shitty seas? No confidence at all! The mission I¡¯ve taken is too advanced, it¡¯s not something that can be solved with force by players at this stage! Finally, Da Fei thought of a method! Da Fei, the Order Flag Bearer, gathered the fleet for another meeting. Da Fei told everyone, ¡°We¡¯ll soon reach our destination, but our enemies are most likely lying in ambush near Fire Dragon Island, this is the final test. So I¡¯ve come up with a plan, to split up! I¡¯ll take my fast ship to Fire Dragon Island to call for reinforcements, while you¡¯ll loiter around here without entering port, waiting for me to bring back help to join everyone!¡± Catherine asked in surprise, ¡°How can you be sure that there will be reinforcements?¡± Da Fei answered seriously, ¡°The Albatross tracking from a few days ago shows that the Vikings originally planned to hijack us midway, which suggests they don¡¯t want to get close to Fire Dragon Island. This indicates that there are strong forces on Fire Dragon Island that the Vikings are wary of.¡± Coltner asked in astonishment, ¡°How can the Captain guarantee we can persuade them to assist us?¡± Da Fei pulled out a thick stack of several hundred purchase orders with a long sigh, ¡°If they¡¯re really living a miserable life, they definitely won¡¯t give up on these goods.¡± Spielberg asked, ¡°How can the Captain guarantee a safe breakthrough from the Viking¡¯s blockade to reach Fire Dragon Island?¡± Da Fei turned back to look at Anlicia, ¡°Can it be done?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Anlicia let out a long sigh, ¡°Who knows.¡± Da Fei sighed, ¡°Even if I am lost, it¡¯s no big deal, at most just a loss of three hundred orders, it¡¯s not the whole picture. But at least I¡¯ll know where the Vikings are ambushed, indirectly diverting the Viking ambush, creating an opportunity for our big ship to enter the port!¡± That¡¯s right, even if I die, I¡¯ll definitely resurrect on the flagship of the fleet, then the fleet can immediately enter the port. Of course, it would be best not to die, this Medium Ship is worth a lot more now! Everyone nodded in agreement, ¡°Seems like that¡¯s the only way, we wish the Captain success upon arrival!¡± Now, there¡¯s nothing left to say, Da Fei¡¯s flagship detached from the fleet and headed alone towards Fire Dragon Island.

Chapter 236 - Chapter 236: Chapter 223 The Viking Undead in the Mist Chapter 236: Chapter 223 The Viking Undead in the Mist Da Fei¡¯s vessel was forging ahead through the waves of the Ice Ocean, brimming with floating ice. After breaking off from the fleet, the ship¡¯s speed increased significantly. To be precise, the floating ice hardly posed a major obstacle for a medium ship. This was only to be expected; large ships are hard to steer and must control their speed in this environment, presenting a significant advantage for small and medium-sized vessels. Additionally, with Da Fei¡¯s Master-level Navigation Skill and status as an Advanced Navigator, the ship¡¯s speed was already not slow. However, Da Fei was feeling extremely anxious at this moment. This should actually be the first time that Da Fei was entirely in charge of steering a ship on his own. The sort of drifting that occurred when he first left Newbie Island doesn¡¯t count. Later, with Catherine and Anwen¡¯s help, it was even less the case. In any case, he had to keep his cool now, especially with the underperforming Vice Hero Alicia watching over this great Captain. He had to keep his composure, poised and valiant. The day passed without incident amid Da Fei¡¯s heightened alertness. But Da Fei was certain: the calmer it is, the closer the crisis. On the 22nd day, Fire Dragon Island was a mere stone¡¯s throw away on the map! The yellow dots finally appeared in the sky; moreover, there was more than one! At this moment, Da Fei¡¯s first instinct was to heave a sigh of relief, as if unburdened, and he couldn¡¯t help but proudly exclaim: ¡°My brilliant and valiant self, the inevitable has finally arrived!¡± Damn it, inevitable my ass! This stupid feeling is like carrying an extra umbrella in the hope that it rains! This is a sickness that needs to be cured! Enough said, there¡¯s less than two days of voyage left from Fire Dragon Island. If they don¡¯t set an ambush here, there won¡¯t be another chance! Da Fei immediately called for Alicia: ¡°Prepare the fog, prepare for Mysterious Stealth Navigation!¡± Alicia replied with a grave tone: ¡°The duration of Mysterious Stealth Navigation is dependent on my Magic Power. Right now, with my Magic Power, I can maintain it for at most two hours, so Captain must choose the right moment.¡± Da Fei nodded, remaining on full alert. Her two hours meant two actual hours in the game, which was only 12 real-life minutes. Of course, it was better than the 20 real-life minutes it took to assemble a Crossbow Cannon. A lot can happen in 12 minutes! He didn¡¯t believe that his Divine Skill could be stopped. Fog began to rise from the sea surface, and Da Fei was suddenly startled. What was going on? Did the Vikings also have high-tech? Or maybe they were not Vikings at all? ¡ª System Prompt: You have entered a mysterious fog. Please stay alert! Damn! Even a system prompt appeared! In just an instant, the fog had completely obscured Da Fei¡¯s vision. As a high-end player, he knew, even if he used his butt to think, that the fog concealed a deadly threat! No more talking, it¡¯s time for Mysterious Stealth Navigation! Let¡¯s all play hide-and-seek! No one can see each other! Then Da Fei hurriedly asked Alicia, ¡°Are there any bees left?¡± In this situation, he could only rely on bee navigation. Alicia sighed deeply and took the hive out of her bag. The hive, no longer buzzing, now had only the last Queen Bee left after the rest were sacrificed in the battle where they blinded Skira. She patted the hive, and a slightly larger golden bee flew out, soon disappearing into the fog. Alicia elbowed Da Fei aside and grabbed the helm: ¡°I¡¯ll take over!¡± Da Fei responded with mixed emotions: ¡°Indeed, you take over.¡± After all, he still couldn¡¯t manage on his own. Now, Alicia steered with a solemn expression, her eyes fixed ahead, obviously receiving information from the Queen Bee. The vessel glided silently through the fog, surrounded by the sound of splashing water, clearly the sound of oars hitting the sea. Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened. Pirates, as expected! At that moment, Alicia¡¯s forehead was beading with sweat: ¡°Captain, there are far more enemies around us than we imagined! We might not make it through. Be prepared for failure!¡± Da Fei was instantly dumbstruck. More than imagined? Were these the legendary Vikings who had not been seen in a thousand years? Fine, when he set out, he was already prepared for failure. He was the bait for landmines! One minute passed, and Da Fei could clearly see a slender, low-lying silhouette brush past the ship in the fog. That design was unmistakably a Viking oar-driven longship! Indeed, it was the Vikings! But weren¡¯t Vikings supposed to be loud and indomitable in battle? How come they were as silent as the grave? These pirates were too professional! In the third minute, Alicia suddenly made a sharp turn, hiding the ship behind an iceberg and dropping anchor in an emergency. Then Da Fei heard the sound of oars against the water, coming like waves, and soon saw long, narrow silhouettes, one after the other passing by, like continuous train carriages. Da Fei and Alicia looked at each other in shock, their sweat pouring down like rain. Damn, this isn¡¯t how you play the game, is it? Four minutes, five minutes, six minutes! Half the duration of Mysterious Stealth Navigation had passed. In the seventh minute, the Viking ¡®train¡¯ finally passed. Alicia quickly raised the anchor: ¡°There are no more enemies ahead. Let¡¯s break through!¡± Let¡¯s hope for a breakthrough! Raising the anchor and setting sail took a grueling minute, making Da Fei incredibly anxious. He started to immensely miss the Magic Sail on the Flying. In the tenth minute, Alicia¡¯s voice trembled with tension: ¡°Enemies are searching from behind again! They¡¯re moving fast!¡± Da Fei was speechless. The way ahead was a haze, prospects grim; what more could be said? In the eleventh minute, the transparent figure of the ship began to blur, indicating the effects of Mysterious Stealth Navigation were about to dissipate. Rumbling noises of rapidly moving oars on water approached from behind. What the hell? Was this a carpet search operation? Why bother with searching? Couldn¡¯t they just dispel the fog? Alicia sighed deeply: ¡°Captain, we can¡¯t hide any longer. We aren¡¯t faster than them. We¡¯re about to fail!¡± Fail? I won¡¯t just sit here waiting to die! Da Fei heaved a sigh and said, ¡°Fine, this new ship has an emergency acceleration special skill we haven¡¯t used yet. Let¡¯s use it and then go out with a bang.¡± Anlicia was surprised, ¡°But once we use emergency acceleration, it¡¯s hard to turn, and there are so many icebergs around¨Cwell, we¡¯re doomed anyway.¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: You have activated the ¡°Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship¡¯s¡± special skill ¡°Emergency Acceleration,¡± increasing the ship¡¯s speed by 20%! The ship¡¯s durability is starting to decrease continuously! All you could hear was a thunderous roar from the ship, a red figure of -164 popped out, then the bow rose, and the whole ship churned up waves, suddenly speeding up like it had fitted propellers! Amidst the ship¡¯s vibrations, strings of red numbers like -14, -16, -17 kept popping up continuously! Damn, this vibrating sensation really feels like driving a motorboat! ¡°Wow!¡± Anlicia exclaimed, frantically turning the steering wheel! The ship suddenly tilted; out of the fog, an iceberg loomed ahead! ¡°Ahhh!¡± Da Fei and Anlicia cried out in alarm, grabbing onto anything they could¨Cclang! A loud impact, ice shards flying, -2431! The ship narrowly scraped past the iceberg! That¡¯s right, hard to turn doesn¡¯t mean can¡¯t turn! And a medium ship¡¯s turning capability is pretty good too! In that instant, Da Fei seemed to see in Anlicia the same poise Catherine had when dodging the waves in a storm¨Cmaybe this could work? Da Fei was excited, ¡°Come on! Anlicia, come on, you can do it! You¡¯re a genius!¡± Anlicia angrily said, ¡°Let go!¡± Da Fei was startled, whoops! Turns out I was accidentally hugging her from behind! Damn, what a chance and I don¡¯t even know what tofu tastes like, what a wasted opportunity¨Cas clueless as Zhu Bajie eating a ginseng fruit! Now, Anlicia was very skilled at maneuvering the ship, weaving through gaps between icebergs as the ship bumped and crashed through the waves, with a line of black, oar-driven ships pushing hard in pursuit behind us! Even with emergency acceleration activated, our ship was still not faster than the Viking oar ships! Da Fei let out a long sigh; after all, I undertook a mission that was too advanced, and it¡¯s deserved if we go overboard. It¡¯s a pity to lose this treasure of a ship, that¡¯s like losing a hundred or two hundred thousand RMB! But no worries, compared to the current market value of my in-game assets, this loss is negligible, just consider it a thrill for my wife. Who am I now? China¡¯s number one! As the distance between the two sides narrowed, Da Fei finally saw the rowers of the chasing ship clearly! Damn it! What¡¯s this, aren¡¯t those glowing green eyes unmistakably the Undead? Undead in signature Viking horned helmets! Viking Undead! Da Fei was shocked and dumbfounded for a moment! And just then, a flash of white light on the ship! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! Your ¡°Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship¡± has leveled up to level 1! Durability upper limit +300, speed +0.3. Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched, the ship leveled up? It levels up by using the special skill frequently? And at that moment, the distance between the ship and the Viking Undead warships behind us opened up just a little bit; the 0.3 speed bonus from leveling up made a difference! It turns out, that was all it took to make a difference! Haha! Wahahaha! Exactly! It can work! It must work! Da Fei¡¯s hope reignited brightly, ¡°Keep going! Keep going!¡± ¡ª-Clang! Another loud impact, -1211! The ship once again narrowly missed an iceberg! ¡ª-System Prompt: Warning! Your ¡°Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship¡± is severely damaged and on the verge of collapse, please cease using the special skill! Damn it! Can I stop? Da Fei gritted his teeth and commanded: ¡°Charge!¡± Just at that moment, Da Fei¡¯s view suddenly cleared, blue skies, icebergs, and the vast ocean appeared once again¨Cescaped the thick fog! ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully broken through the mysterious fog, gaining +2,000,000 experience! ¡ª-System Prompt: You have obtained information on Expert-level navigator. ¡ª-System Prompt: You have obtained information on Master-level Navigation Skill. Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have leveled up to level 33, gaining +1 free attribute point, +1 Ranger profession attack bonus, +2 Life, +1 Skill Point, and +1 additional free attribute point from the Advanced Navigator Skill bonus. ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia has leveled up to 26! Gained ¡­ ¡ª-System Prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia has leveled up to 27! Gained ¡­ Escaped the fog? Ignoring the long list of notifications, Da Fei turned to look back, only to see the mist dispersing, and the Viking Undead vanishing without a trace. Da Fei laughed heartily to the sky! Not even the Viking Undead could stop me now! You weaklings! Wahahaha! (To be continued.

Chapter 237 - Chapter 237: Chapter 224: Arrival at Fire Dragon Island Chapter 237: Chapter 224: Arrival at Fire Dragon Island Bursting through the fog, Da Fei laughed heartily to the sky. Now Fire Dragon Island is right in front of his eyes. If he were to fail at his doorstep, he could only accept his fate. The mysterious fog just now triggered the Grandmaster-level information and navigator information, suggesting that it¡¯s not much less dangerous than the Abyss Blood Pool storm. It also indicates that these Undead Vikings are not to be underestimated. Anyway, he must call for reinforcements. As for now, of course, it¡¯s time to deal with the victorious results¨Crepair the ship quickly. Right, the ship has really earned its keep this time; it deserves a name. Naming things is such a headache for him; honoring a mere medium ship with a name is a privilege. Let¡¯s call it¡­ Octopus! ¨CSystem Prompt: You have renamed the ¡°Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship¡± to ¡°Octopus¡±! Hahaha! I really have a talent for naming; such a cool, domineering, and awesome name that makes every sailor in the Sea Realm tremble! Then, it¡¯s about Anlicia leveling up by two. Nothing much to say, just maxing out her Meditation Skill to Master Level. As a Spell Ranger, the Meditation Skill is essential, and of course, she should use the remaining 1 Skill Point on the Meditation sub-skills. The Meditation Technique sub-skills are essential mana-saving and recovery skills that must be fully learned, just like Selvia. Now, Anlicia also has one Grandmaster and one Master Skill, and she can be considered quite capable. Suddenly, Da Fei noticed Anlicia looking extremely unwell and couldn¡¯t help exclaiming, ¡°What¡¯s wrong? We¡¯ve just overcome another difficulty, we should be happy!¡± Anlicia silently pulled out the Hive: ¡°The Queen Bee hasn¡¯t returned.¡± Da Fei was startled: ¡°Dead?¡± Anlicia shook her head and sighed, ¡°I don¡¯t know. I lost contact with her. For the Queen Bee, there¡¯s no need to return to a hive without her subjects¨CI¡¯ve been mentally prepared since the moment I released her from the hive.¡± No way! Without the Hive, wouldn¡¯t Anlicia lose the Divine Skill of bee navigation? Da Fei anxiously asked: ¡°Can we find another one?¡± Anlicia shook her head sadly, ¡°It¡¯s useless. Ordinary bees can¡¯t compare to her at all. It was with great difficulty that my grandmother got her and gave her to me as a birthday gift.¡± Da Fei frowned: ¡°If she¡¯s not dead, where could she go in this vast ocean? Probably only to Fire Dragon Island, right?¡± Anlicia¡¯s spirit lifted, her eyes igniting with hope: ¡°Possibly! I hope we can find her there.¡± Now, the Octopus continued towards its destination through the sailors¡¯ emergency repairs. As they approached Fire Dragon Island, there were fewer icebergs, and without the icebergs, the dangers of the journey no longer existed. On the 23rd day, as the sun rose in the east, the sea sparkled brilliantly¨Cfeeling great without the icebergs! There it is, Da Fei finally saw the land on the edge of the sea and sky, and even the smoke from a volcano breaking through the clouds¨Cthat¡¯s Fire Dragon Island! Brother, after two all-nighters, finally here! Hahaha! At that moment, several green dots rapidly approached on the map¨Cgreen dots? Friendlies! Da Fei excitedly picked up the telescope to check in the direction of the green dots and saw several Griffin Knights flying in the sky! Da Fei was so startled¨CGriffin Knights! The high-end special forces of the Dwarf Clan! Seemingly only available in the capital of Dwarf Nation, why would they be here? The armed forces of Fire Dragon Island are really impressive. A rough voice resounded through sea and sky: ¨C¡°Attention, vessel in the area, you have entered Fire Dragon Island¡¯s defense identification zone, please report your name, chamber of commerce, purpose, identity unknown persons, those who do not report we will consider as invaders, smugglers, stowaways, and we will seize, seize, still seize, and enforce strict sanctions!¡± Damn! Why didn¡¯t they come to identify us yesterday! Watching them dive down, eager to ¡°sanction,¡± Da Fei was so frightened he screamed at the top of his lungs: ¡°Friendly fire! Don¡¯t shoot! I am the president of the Elf Kingdom Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce¡­¡± Fire Dragon Island, a medium-sized island in the Ice Ocean at the northern end of the Hero Continent, features year-round volcanic activity. This place is said to be the sealed location of an evil dragon. Due to the presence of the volcano, the temperature here is much warmer than the surrounding Ice Ocean. However, even so, it¡¯s not a place where ordinary people can live; only the robust and tough members of the Alliance Dwarf Clan stay here year-round. Of course, one of the main reasons that attracts the dwarves here is the abundance of valuable crystal ore in the volcano. After hundreds of years of development by the dwarves, this place has evolved from a mere Alliance military camp into a small town. Now, the Octopus has arrived at the port of Fire Dragon Island, escorted by several medium-sized sail and oar patrol ships that followed one after another. The harbor dock is packed with people. Hahaha, such a high standard for an escort and welcome! Looking at those low, bleak stone houses in the port town, looking at a plain dock without a single merchant ship docked, Da Fei can already imagine how impoverished the people here are, and how much they long for me to deliver the goods! Da Fei docks, and a few strong, majestic Alliance dwarf officers, solid as iron towers, are already waiting at the bottom of the gangway; the highest-ranking among them is a Major. Faced with their puzzled and stern gazes, Da Fei doesn¡¯t wait for them to speak and directly pulls out the delivery invoice, saying straightforwardly, ¡°Major, I am here to deliver goods on behalf of Duke Markar of the Alliance. Please sign for it!¡± The dwarf Major takes the invoice with a puzzled look, muttering with his thick beard, ¡°Markar? I hate that guy, but we really need your goods¨Cunload them!¡± He then waves grandly, and those tattered dwarves in worn leather armor cheer loudly and rush onto the ship! Holy crap! Say, were those Undead Vikings ones of your guys in disguise? ¨CSystem Prompt: You have completed the Chamber of Commerce task ¡°Deliver Medicine to Fire Dragon Island Base.¡± Please return to Duke Markar to collect your reward. Da Fei is suddenly dumbfounded! What the heck, why do I need to go back to collect the reward? Normally, shouldn¡¯t the rewards be given directly after delivery? Although he didn¡¯t get any rewards from these poor folks, the Major¡¯s gaze seems much friendlier: ¡°Lieutenant, how did you get here? It¡¯s been three years since any ship has come here.¡± Three years? You guys actually didn¡¯t starve to death? I don¡¯t have time to ask the reason, just knowing you¡¯re in fear of poverty is enough! Da Fei pulls out a thick stack of invoices and says solemnly, ¡°Major, on my way here, I was intercepted by the Undead Fleet in the mist. I have another big ship with two thousand seven hundred orders of wine, food, medicine, toys, and other goods on the sea; I think you must need them! If you need them, please send heavy troops to escort and assist!¡± The Major is startled, ¡°Undead Fleet?¡± Another officer behind him suddenly cheers up, ¡°Wine! Food?¡± Hahaha, action speaks louder than words! Da Fei flashes the invoices in front of their eyes and states firmly, ¡°Exactly, produced by the Elf Kingdom, quality guaranteed! Though it¡¯s for sale, not a gift! We need to get that straight! If you don¡¯t agree to send troops for escort, I¡¯ll head back immediately. My fleet could be attacked by the Undead Fleet at any moment; I can¡¯t stay long!¡± The Major immediately blows the whistle on his chest and yells, ¡°Orders to the Coast Guard, the Sea and Air Patrol Team, the Mine Security Team, and the town police, all gather!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The surrounding dwarves excitedly shout in unison, ¡°Fight!¡± Suddenly, the entire port town¡¯s alarm bell rings! Da Fei is stunned on the spot! Holy crap, seems like the entire army is mobilized? No wonder they are dwarves; this indeed matches their reputed decisiveness! Exactly, that¡¯s how dwarves are; they act without hesitation or unnecessary chatter! That¡¯s why being friends with a dwarf is quite refreshing, and being enemies with one is utterly painful¨Cthey don¡¯t even give you a chance to beg or negotiate; they¡¯d rather cut you down than hear you ramble! Great, reinforcements have been requested! I¡¯m as sharp as a deity; man, I¡¯m so freaking awesome! Let¡¯s see how much money this load can fetch. (To be continued.

Chapter 238 - Chapter 238: Chapter 225: The Giant Ship Safely Escorts to the Station Chapter 238: Chapter 225: The Giant Ship Safely Escorts to the Station In the six regular races of Heroic Creation Era, the Dwarf Clan¡¯s popularity is only slightly better than the Hell Race. Compared to races like the Human Race, Elf Clan, and Undead which are filled with beautiful women and cool men (Note: female vampires are devastatingly beautiful), the dwarves¡¯ stature indeed isn¡¯t pleasing, and Dwarf Ladies are especially intolerable to female players. Even the masculine yet tender beauty of Beastman women can mesmerize a large number of players, leaving dwarves far behind. This shows how important appearances are. Another main reason is the unappealing homeland of dwarves, surrounded by steep, snow-covered mountains right outside the door, and dreary underground cities inside. Of course, the advantages of dwarves are also obvious, which are high attack, high blood, high Defense, high Stamina, and inherent High Magic Resistance! The dwarf army is disciplined like unbreakable steel, hence the Dwarf Heroes have a special sub-skills tailored for dwarf troops: Steel Legion! ¨CSteel Legion: When the dwarf troops form a military formation, the entire group¡¯s physical and magical defensive power increases by 20%. Forming a military formation means giving up the speed of charge, of course, for dwarves who naturally have short legs and slow speed, there is no need to charge. However, this does not mean that the dwarves¡¯ troops will be deceived to death by the enemy¡¯s ranged attacks. Dwarf Level 2 ranged troops, the spear throwers, and Level 4 Soldier Rune Mages are not inferior to the ranged units of any other race, not to mention the dwarves also have powerful, nearly perfect Level 5 charging troops, Bear Cavalry! The Bear Cavalry, known as the nemesis of cavalry, often causes the horses of human Level 6 Knights to be thrown into confusion with their roar. Moreover, the Bear Cavalry also possesses the special skill of knocking back and crushing. Why is Bear Cavalry so strong yet only Level 5 troops? Because the dwarves¡¯ Level 6 troops are even more abnormal, the Flame Lord! A Magic Troops kind, nicknamed ¡°Little Titan,¡± with almost the strength of Level 7 troops. Of course, it is also the least produced Level 6 troops among all races. As for the dwarves¡¯ Level 7 troops, they can only be described as monstrous ¨C the Magma Dragons, resembling the monsters in Ultraman, red and black stone walking dragons that spew magma when hit, causing astonishing damage. In summary, just like the Elf Clan, except for Level 7 troops, the overall quality of the Dwarf Clan¡¯s troops is higher than that of the same level Human Race, Undead, and Hell Race. This can also be considered a compensation mechanism for races that produce fewer troops. This compensation mechanism will inevitably make the Elf Dwarves champions of leagues but weaker in national wars. Currently, only the Russian Zone is fully developing the Dwarf Clan, although the Russian Zone has a world-famous Human Race hero, the Siege Master. That¡¯s all for the introduction of dwarves. Under the loud alarm that rang throughout the town, the patrolling oar ships at sea also gathered at the port. Meanwhile, nearly a thousand Dwarf Warriors in the town prepared and gathered at the dock to line up and board the ships. Although nearly a thousand might not seem much in a land battle, sea battles are different; it¡¯s not about having more troops. However, looking at the dwarves¡¯ readiness, it¡¯s clear they are indeed banking on numbers. Indeed, dwarves love adventures, but their sailing skills are average, and they really can¡¯t handle high-technical-content ships such as sail ships. In naval battles, the tactics of dwarves and pirates are similar: oar ships ramming and boarding, then engaging hand-to-hand combat. Seeing that their oar ships are equipped with heavy armor at the bottom and an Ice-breaking Ram at the bow, Da Fei is full of confidence in this battle. At least in terms of ramming, the Viking Undead ships definitely cannot win. Just then, a deep horn sounded, and a giant Sail and Oar Ship appeared at the bay of the harbor, causing the dwarves at the port to burst into enthusiastic cheers! Looking at this sea leviathan, Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched in shock! A huge ship! Damn, he actually saw a giant ship! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only In the game, ships are divided into four sizes based on their body structure: small, medium, large, and giant. Da Fei¡¯s Flying and Radiant Wings are both large. A large ship can have up to four masts and three decks, which means three levels below the deck. If the purpose is overseas exploration, a large ship is already the limit, ensuring speed, stamina, and survival from storms and Sea Monsters. Any larger would be impractical, the materials can¡¯t support a bigger structure, a blast of wind or a wave would break it apart, like a building; constructing over 100 floors is the limit, any taller and the foundation and materials would not withstand. But giant ships are different; they can only be warships, their timber is specially customized Copper-Wrapped Wood or Iron-Wrapped Wood, meaning the timber is wrapped with a thick layer of copper or iron, providing a more stable structure to support the giant ship structure and also being extremely resistant in naval battles. However, the downsides are also obvious; the ship is too heavy and significantly slower. It also drafts deeply which makes it easy to run aground, and normal small harbors can¡¯t accommodate such a behemoth. The design philosophy of giant warships has never been about pursuit but about decisive battles. Taking battleships as an example, having 100 gun ports is considered few. Of course, the cost of building a giant ship is astronomical, in an era when players can¡¯t even afford large ships, giant ships are even more out of the question. Not to mention the maintenance costs to prevent the Iron-Wrapped Wood from rusting. But the giant ship in front of Da Fei is completely a different type of warship from battleships, a four-masted giant oar ship, with its bow still sporting a terrifying giant iron ram. Chapter 239 - Chapter 239: Chapter 225: The Giant Ship Safely Escorts to the Station_2 Chapter 239: Chapter 225: The Giant Ship Safely Escorts to the Station_2 The ship¡¯s side was not high, with only two cabins. The bottom cabin was the rowing room, and the protruding hundreds of giant oars made the giant ship look like a giant centipede from afar. The upper level of the rowing room was the gun cabin, with about twenty gun ports on each side. The upper structure of the giant ship had only one layer, so this huge centipede, including the upper structure, wasn¡¯t even as tall as the Flying¡¯s ship¡¯s side. This was necessary, as rowing ships couldn¡¯t be very high for ease of rowing. This type of giant ship was an all-around comprehensive battleship, incorporating artillery battles, melee battles, and crashing battles. Its prototype, of course, was the Turkish Ottoman battleship from the Age of Discovery. However, since Turkey¡¯s national power couldn¡¯t produce such massive warships, it lagged behind the other major powers in navigation. France heavily improved it, resulting in the legendary ¡°French Royal Battleship,¡± commonly known as the ¡°French Emperor¡±! In areas like the Mediterranean and North Sea, where the wind was calm and large sailboats couldn¡¯t exert their advantages, the French Emperor lived up to its name and was unrestrained. Of course, a sail-and-oar ship was still a sail-and-oar ship. The low rowing bottom cabin made it easy to flood, becoming foolish in the high winds and waves of the Atlantic. Beyond the Atlantic lay the new mainland stage of the major powers. France¡¯s colonial path in the Age of Discovery wasn¡¯t very smooth. In short, in the game, such a giant ship was undoubtedly most suitable for the generally sea-technician, rough-and-ready dwarves to use. However, the sea was frozen for ten months a year here, and this giant ship wasn¡¯t even considered a bathtub fleet? Damn, on such a remote island, there were Griffin Knights, and unbelievably, also such a giant ship! What was the secret here? Could it be a military stronghold? If it¡¯s a stronghold, why hasn¡¯t anyone transported goods for three years? At this moment, the dwarf Major was very satisfied with Da Fei¡¯s dumbfounded expression. He cleared his throat with a dry cough, ¡°Allow me to introduce myself, I am Bato, and this is my warship, the Flame Lord! You seem quite good at sailing? I¡¯ll temporarily appoint you as the First Officer of the Flame Lord to lead the way.¡± Damn! I can actually indulge in the giant ship addiction! This was a must! Da Fei excitedly nodded quickly, ¡°Major, er, General, you¡¯re so mighty! With such a giant ship escorting, there¡¯s absolutely no fear of those Undead fleets.¡± Bato said in a deep voice, ¡°It seems I have finally determined the reasons why there have been no supply ships for three years, but I don¡¯t care about any Undead fleet; I only care about the goods you mentioned.¡± Da Fei quickly said, ¡°I promise not to disappoint you, General.¡± Finally confirmed? Does that mean those Undead had nothing to do with the S-level cargo mission I have? In other words, clearly, there¡¯s a big mission on this Fire Dragon Island? Never mind, I don¡¯t have the time and energy to deal with it, just finish this batch of business. At this time, a small boat approached the shore. Bato waved his hand, ¡°Board the ship!¡± ¡­ Accompanied by five medium-sized rowing ships, amidst the loud chanting of the rowers echoing throughout the ship, the Flame Lord, loaded with dwarf warriors, rowed its giant oars and left the harbor. At this moment, appointed as the temporary First Officer, Da Fei finally felt the style of this giant centipede. People always said that giant ships were slow; where was it slow? Not only was it not slow, but it also seemed to be faster than my Octopus¡¯s normal speed! Rowing ships, however slow, wouldn¡¯t be that slow, especially with me, a Master Level Navigator and Advanced Navigator, leading the team! Come on, this time I¡¯ll seek revenge! Wahahaha! A true expert should be like me, able to mobilize NPC power for things they cannot accomplish themselves! Dwarves usually were silent, and Da Fei didn¡¯t want to talk too much either, lest he trigger a troublesome mission. Therefore, there was no conversation along the way, and a day¡¯s time passed. Now they had reached the sea area where the incident occurred yesterday. Da Fei said in a deep voice, ¡°It was here that I was ambushed, and in the fog, a large fleet of Undead suddenly appeared. Their decoration was very similar to the Vikings of the old times.¡± Although he didn¡¯t want to say much, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but speak after holding back all day. No choice; it¡¯s the occupational habit of an expert. Bato said in a deep voice, ¡°Lieutenant, you are remarkable in discovering the truth of the matter. Our sacrifices have been nothing but speculations, but the severity of the situation was beyond our expectations.¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help asking, ¡°Is the situation serious?¡± Bato nodded solemnly, ¡°The Nether God controls death, and the Sea God controls the sea. However, when sailors die at sea, their afterlife destination arouses disputes between these two gods. Sailors are among the bravest and wisest people in the world, and both gods highly desire them. In short, we may be embroiled in a divine dispute.¡± Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped to the ground! So that¡¯s it! No wonder my Sea Soul Staff is so similar to the Undead Wizard¡¯s skills! It turns out there¡¯s this implication! Now, Da Fei firmly shut his mouth, saying nothing more! Da Fei was convinced if he asked one more question, ¡°What should we do?¡± surely an annoying Epic Quest would pop up! Although I am impressive, I¡¯m not at the level to take on three Epic Quests at the same time at sea! And since Da Fei didn¡¯t ask, the dwarf stopped talking, too. Given the dwarves¡¯ pride, they definitely wouldn¡¯t ask for help proactively, right? That¡¯s good. Now, under Bato¡¯s command, the entire fleet was prepared for battle. But the anticipated mist did not appear. Hey, hey, hey! Is this a joke? Not encountering the mist makes me look like I was lying! I came for revenge! As a whole day passed, the mist still did not appear! Da Fei let out a long sigh, ¡°General, although I don¡¯t know the reason, it must have been scared away by your military might.¡± Bato said proudly, ¡°That¡¯s for sure. Here, no one dares to challenge my Flame Lord!¡± At this moment, an eagle¡¯s cry came from the sky, and Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched, an eagle? Bato¡¯s spirit lifted, ¡°Target discovered!¡± Da Fei was taken aback. Discover what? Indeed, soon a soldier came to report in the cabin, ¡°General, we¡¯ve discovered two large wandering Alliance ships!¡± What the heck! My God-level Reconnaissance Technique didn¡¯t even notice, and you guys discovered it first! Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Yes, it¡¯s them!¡± Bato laughed heartily, ¡°Surely, the goods are here! It¡¯s worth the effort to intercept¨CFleet, change course!¡± When two green dots finally appeared on Da Fei¡¯s radar, a joyful piano melody faintly drifted in the wind! For a moment, the entire fleet erupted in cheers of victory. At this moment, Da Fei¡¯s heart was incredibly shocked. I thought my God-level Reconnaissance Skill was the peak, but I was too naive! Could it be that this eagle transcends the God-level Reconnaissance Skill¡¯s professional realm? Da Fei hurriedly asked, ¡°General, can I train this eagle?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Bato patted Da Fei¡¯s shoulder, ¡°Lieutenant, these are military secrets; I¡¯m very sorry.¡± Da Fei was stunned again, damn! Indeed, military and civilian matters are not the same thing, huh? ¡­ Now, the fleet regrouped, with the dwarf warships tightly guarding the Radiant Wings and the Whale Hunter in the middle of their formation as they began their return voyage. With nothing happening along the way, Fire Dragon Island appeared before them again. Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief, finally reaching the station safely! (To be continued.

Chapter 240 - Chapter 240: Chapter 226 Trading Goods for Goods Chapter 240: Chapter 226 Trading Goods for Goods The fleet has docked, and once again the entire town is in uproar. As Radiant Wings and Whale Hunter moored at the dock, the waiting dwarves on the pier cheered and swarmed onto the ship! Da Fei was frantic on the spot: ¡°Hey hey! General, these are for sale, not for giveaway!¡± Bato laughed heartily: ¡°Of course! We¡¯re just in charge of unloading the goods, you just go to the tavern and negotiate with Buckley!¡± Da Fei was startled: ¡°Negotiate at the tavern?¡± Bato chuckled: ¡°Of course, our little town doesn¡¯t have a formal trading post, so Buckley from the tavern is in charge of the trade, just find him.¡± Damn! No formal trading post? A sense of being cheated hit me in the face! How could this be? But it¡¯s better than being robbed, that scared the daylights out of me! Well, after all, it¡¯s a game, and the basic rights of the players are still guaranteed. If it was in the Otherworld Continent, damn, they would really rob you, what then? The town¡¯s dock is small, and after Da Fei¡¯s two cargo ships docked, there¡¯s no space left for warships. Led by small boats, Da Fei and Bato went ashore. Bato couldn¡¯t wait to transport the goods himself, so he assigned a soldier to take Da Fei to the tavern. Thus, Da Fei led Catherine, Selvia, Anlicia, Coltner, and Spielberg to the tavern. Da Fei began excitedly calculating how much he could sell this batch of goods for, which cost him 50,000 Gold Coins. First of all, this is a long-distance international trade, and as long as there are no local products of the same type, even ordinary goods should sell for double the price at the very least, which means 50,000 turns into 100,000. Then, since they were emergency supplies, doubling that amount again was the very least, making 100,000 turn into 200,000. Then there¡¯s the risk factor for this journey. With Sea Monsters roaming and Sea Demons lurking in the North Sea, there¡¯s a constant risk of total loss, so the price should at least double to compensate for the potential losses, turning 200,000 into at least 400,000! That¡¯s right, according to the rules of the trading system, this 50,000 Gold Coin trip should sell for at least 400,000! At least! It can¡¯t be lower than this number! This profit is like making ten times the profit of a long-haul specialty product! Da Fei was getting increasingly excited. 400,000! In this game that has been open for just over half a month, that¡¯s absolutely a staggering fortune, can do so much with it! Arriving at the tavern, amidst the desolate stone houses on the island, this tavern stood out conspicuously. For dwarves, any other building could be simple, but only the tavern had to be opulent and magnificent. In fact, for dwarves, they¡¯d rather drink and conduct business in a tavern, so replacing the trading post with a tavern also suited the dwarves¡¯ cultural traits. The tavern¡¯s fireplace burned with a strangely scented lava for warmth, with only a few neutral Dwarf Heroes drinking, waiting to be hired by players. Of course, this is not something Da Fei would consider. Not interested in top-tier heroes, Da Fei only had eyes for beautiful female Vice Heroes. The dwarf shopkeeper named Buckley took the initiative to greet: ¡°Welcome, you must be the Warrior who brought us the goods, I¡¯m in charge here of settling accounts! Please show me your invoice.¡± Oh yeah, although it¡¯s not formal, this attitude seems not much different from traders in big cities. Da Fei felt somewhat relieved, handed over a thick stack of invoices, and Buckley suddenly turned wooden as he received them. Da Fei¡¯s heart tightened, hey, what¡¯s going on? Why isn¡¯t the trading page popping up? Why isn¡¯t there a System Prompt? I can¡¯t see the local market prices here! Damn! Don¡¯t tell me I¡¯ve really been cheated? This trading process isn¡¯t formal, and neither is my trading method, right! How can there be a thing where goods are unloaded before the sale is done, it¡¯s no different from forceful buying and selling, or rather, robbery, right? Da Fei was anxious: ¡°Sir, could you please say something?¡± Finally, Buckley snapped out of it, shaking his beard and stammeringly said: ¡°W-Warrior, according to market prices, your shipment should sell for 943,434 Gold Coins!¡± 943,000! Twice as much as I expected! Da Fei was ecstatic: ¡°Then pay up!¡± Buckley had a mournful look on his face: ¡°But we¡¯re cut off from the Alliance here, we don¡¯t have a bank, we don¡¯t have that much money!¡± Fuck! Talk about a rip-off, I can¡¯t believe this kind of thing actually happens! Da Fei was about to lose his mind: ¡°But you¡¯ve already unloaded the goods, I saw people breaking open crates and drinking on the spot, and now you, you, you say you have no money!¡± Buckley hastily waved his hands: ¡°But we can discuss this, how about we pay with goods? With our special Mineral Crystal Ore!¡± While speaking, he took out a shiny stone: ¡°This is it, strategic material. As long as you transport it back, it¡¯ll be worth way more than 940,000 Gold Coins!¡± Ah fuck! Da Fei spewed out a mouthful of blood! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but roar: ¡°Are you kidding me! Do you know how difficult it was for me to make this trip? Do you know how many Sea Monsters I¡¯ve encountered along the way? Did you know I was ambushed by the Undead Fleet just to enter the port? It¡¯s a miracle that the goods even got here! And you¡¯re saying I didn¡¯t make a penny, and now I have to risk dragging this load back again, and if I¡¯m not lucky enough to escape the Sea Monsters and my ship gets sunk, then I have got nothing!¡± Buckley sighed, ¡°Warrior, this is much better than returning with an empty hold, this risk is worth taking!¡± Da Fei was astonished: ¡°Returning with an empty hold? What do you mean?¡± Buckley sighed: ¡°Warrior, your sea trading license is only level 1, which means you can only purchase 10 batches of goods per day. Using your fleet¡¯s capacity to fully load up requires waiting here for one month, but we only have two months of ice thaw per year, and we¡¯re nearly one month in. If you really wait a month, you won¡¯t be able to go back, you¡¯ll be stuck here for a year! I think, Warrior, you definitely wouldn¡¯t want that, right?¡± Da Fei was suddenly shocked! Fuck, that¡¯s true! The reason I arrived with a full load was because I bought up all the orders from other players along the way, but who do I buy from here when I¡¯m the only player? Doesn¡¯t this goods exchange solve my purchasing problem? Wait! You mean to say the damn trade method on Fire Dragon Island is bartering? If that¡¯s the case, why am I even arguing, it¡¯s pointless to contend with the system! Having cooled down, Da Fei had to accept this shitty gameplay, the greater the risk, the greater the profit. Purple Crystal Stone Mine, if I haul these back, for sure it won¡¯t compare to these leisurely goods. Da Fei sighed: ¡°Alright, let¡¯s make the exchange.¡± Buckley sighed: ¡°Thank you Warrior for your cooperation.¡± Da Fei said discontentedly: ¡°What are you sighing for?¡± Buckley discontentedly said: ¡°If we hadn¡¯t been stuck for three years, we definitely wouldn¡¯t have made this loss-making deal!¡± Fuck! Is the system consoling players, telling me this new gameplay is profitable? Buckley pulled out a list: ¡°This is the price trend for our Mineral Crystals here, Warrior, choose what goods you want to exchange.¡± Finally, the normal trading interface, the market interface arrived, and that ¡°940,000¡± Da Fei did not get was marked in the capital column, so this place indeed plays the game of bartering! Looking at various Red Crystal Ore, Green Crystal Stone Ore, Blue Crystal Ore, Da Fei was too lazy to choose, if exchanging, then exchange the most expensive, empty the space so the ship can run faster. Da Fei then chose the Purple Crystal Stone Mine, priced at 2,200 Gold Coins a batch: ¡°This one!¡± This is well-deserved for ores, such a terrifying cost price, what small-time player could afford this? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¡ª System Prompt: You have spent 940,000 Gold Coins to exchange for 427 units of Fire Dragon Island¡¯s special ¡°Purple Crystal Stone Mine¡±! Oh yes! It really is a specialty! If it¡¯s a specialty, then the international long-distance travel would make ten times, if not ten times then eight times, if not eight times then five times. 940,000 would turn into 9.4 million! At worst, also 4.7 million! Then considering the risk factor, double it, a cool 10 million is in the bag! Fuck! No way, starting with 50,000 capital, working hard day and night for a few days in one round-trip could turn into 10 million? I can hardly believe it! Could the system be this generous? No no no, this is a once-in-a-year opportunity of buying and selling! Plus, there¡¯s so much risk, it¡¯s much more of a rip-off than running special items in the Chamber of Commerce during public testing, there has to be this kind of enormous profit! Buckley sighed with a long face: ¡°Warrior, you are really lucky, these Purple Crystal Ores were accumulated over three years we were trapped. In previous years, the Kingdom¡¯s supply ships would have taken it directly on their way back, you wouldn¡¯t have been able to buy it even if you wanted.¡± Well, although I¡¯m not sure if Purple Crystal Stone is the highest-end here, exchanging ores for food and drink doesn¡¯t seem like a good deal regardless, I¡¯m taking advantage of others¡¯ misfortune, I should be happy, wahahaha! Wait a minute, speaking of luck, maybe I should ask if there¡¯s a Luck Skill master here? (To be continued.

Chapter 241 - Chapter 241: Chapter 227: The Commission to Salvage a Sunken Ship Chapter 241: Chapter 227: The Commission to Salvage a Sunken Ship Da Fei had just completed the transaction when Spielberg spoke up, ¡°Captain, we also dragged back a giant octopus. You don¡¯t have a fishing license, so technically you can¡¯t sell the catch. How about I sell it for you, and then we split the proceeds?¡± Oh, yeah, I almost forgot about the octopus without anyone mentioning it. Splitting the profits sounds good! This NPC is really considerate! Da Fei quickly nodded and said, ¡°Great! I¡¯ll leave it to you, then.¡± Buckley chimed in, ¡°The octopus is still being weighed, so you¡¯ll have to wait a bit¨Cby the way, Warrior, may I ask you a question?¡± Da Fei was surprised, ¡°Go ahead, don¡¯t hold back!¡± Buckley asked, ¡°How did the Warrior catch this octopus monster?¡± Oh man, isn¡¯t this question basically asking, ¡°Why are you so awesome?¡± How am I supposed to answer that? Da Fei could only reluctantly tell the truth, ¡°Of course, it was thanks to Mr. Spielberg here.¡± Spielberg chuckled, ¡°The Captain is being modest. I couldn¡¯t have done it alone.¡± Buckley quickly asked, ¡°Then perhaps the Warrior and Mr. Spielberg can do us a favor? You might be the only ones capable of completing it.¡± What the heck! It sounds like a sea monster task, and I don¡¯t have the time for it! Da Fei quickly shook his head, ¡°Sorry, but we¡¯re about to leave.¡± Spielberg also shook his head, ¡°I came here to hunt whales. Time is limited, and I really can¡¯t help.¡± Buckley urgently said, ¡°If both gentlemen are willing to help, the General will dispatch a fleet to aid you in whale hunting! We know the area¡¯s activities well and can point out where whales frequent. Plus, with the General¡¯s fleet helping encircle the whale pods, your efforts would be twice as effective!¡± Spielberg¡¯s eyebrows raised, ¡°Whale pods? I¡¯m looking for narwhals!¡± Buckley quickly responded, ¡°No problem! Narwhals are easy to spot; their horns reflect sunlight from afar, making them hard to miss!¡± Spielberg then asked Da Fei, ¡°What does the Captain think?¡± Well, since this buddy is interested, I¨Cbeing an expert¨Ccan¡¯t refuse. Da Fei had no choice but to say, ¡°As long as it¡¯s within our capacity, we¡¯ll do our best!¡± Buckley was delighted, ¡°Great! Many years ago, we chased a treasure-laden pirate ship that ended up crashing into an iceberg and sinking. Later, when we mastered the art of salvaging shipwrecks, we discovered that a giant octopus monster had taken over the sunken ship as its nest, so we need to drive this octopus away. Since the Warrior caught an octopus monster, I think it shouldn¡¯t be a problem.¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: The dwarf Logistics Officer Buckley gives you the task ¡°Drive away the octopus monster in the sunken ship.¡± Would you like to accept it? Da Fei was immediately astonished, ¡°Is this octopus the same one you mentioned from the sunken ship?¡± Buckley shook his head, ¡°Of course not. The sunken ship¡¯s octopus is much larger.¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but laugh and cry, ¡°Are there a lot of giant octopuses in the Northern Ocean?¡± Buckley sighed, ¡°There¡¯s a lot of octopuses all over the world!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched. If there are so many octopuses around the world, then wouldn¡¯t the Octopus Ship Figurehead, which specializes in scaring octopuses, be very useful? Right, if I equip the figurehead now, can it scare away the octopus from the sunken ship? If that doesn¡¯t work, can I equip the Six-headed Sea Demon Ship¡¯s Figurehead, which scares all sea monsters, for a double-pronged approach? If that still doesn¡¯t work, would Anlicia continue to transform into Skira to scare them away, making it a triple approach? And if none of that works¨C Da Fei asked, ¡°What if we fail?¡± Buckley shook his head and smiled wryly, ¡°Failure is just failure. We go there once every year when the ice thaws, and we fail every year.¡± So that¡¯s it. As long as there¡¯s no task penalty, it¡¯s fine. Da Fei then said, ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll give it a try, but we¡¯ll need your help in repairing the ship, especially since my Radiant Wings is severely damaged.¡± I¡¯m so broke right now that I only have pocket change for meals and drinks. I really can¡¯t afford major repairs, but when there¡¯s a chance like this where someone¡¯s asking for help, experts like me know what to do. Spielberg also said, ¡°I also need to repair our fishing nets.¡± Buckley was overjoyed, ¡°No problem! I¡¯ll immediately contact the General, and we¡¯ll help repair your ships once we finish unloading.¡± Anlicia suddenly spoke, ¡°Can I walk around the island freely?¡± Da Fei was excited, ¡°Do you have news about the Queen Bee?¡± Anlicia eagerly nodded, ¡°I felt her vibration, right on this island! But something seems strange¡­¡± Buckley chuckled, ¡°No problem, as long as you don¡¯t go to the barracks, Miss can go anywhere on the island.¡± Anlicia was surprised, ¡°Are there flowers in the barracks?¡± Buckley laughed heartily, ¡°Flowers? Of course not, dear Elf lady. This isn¡¯t the Elf Kingdom; this is the harsh, barren Fire Dragon Island. There are no flowers here.¡± Anlicia was incredulous, ¡°No flowers on the whole island? How could that be? Why would the Queen Bee choose to leave her hive for an island without any flowers?¡± Buckley laughed again, ¡°I don¡¯t get it either. You¡¯ll have to see for yourself, Miss.¡± I¡¯d have to find time to look for it, and actually, there seems to be time now. It¡¯ll take at least two or three days to repair the Radiant Wings anyway. Da Fei remembered something else and asked, ¡°By the way, I¡¯d like to know if there¡¯s a Master of Luck on Fire Dragon Island? I¡¯d like to pay them a visit.¡± Buckley laughed heartily, ¡°We¡¯ve got a guy here who claims to be the Gambling God, Buffett. He only gambles one day a month, and on that day, he always wins. If that¡¯s the person you¡¯re looking for, then you¡¯ve found him. Right now, he¡¯s gone down to the docks to unload cargo. Oh, and the guys who spend all day at the bar have gone to help unload cargo, too. It¡¯s been so quiet these past three years, it takes some getting used to, haha¡­¡± What the heck! I mentioned looking for the Master of Luck, and here he is immediately. How lucky am I! This Fire Dragon Island is full of hidden talents! But only gambling one day a month? Is that the principle of the Gambling God, or a limitation of the Master-level Luck Skill? Whatever, no point in dwelling on it. I should focus on helping Anlicia find the Queen Bee. As for Spielberg and Coltner, they aren¡¯t my subordinates, so there¡¯s no need for them to follow. Everyone can go about their own business. Now, under Anlicia¡¯s guidance, Da Fei and his crew of four exited the small port town and entered the rocky, pit-covered Fire Dragon Island. As far as the eye could see, there were neither flowers nor grass. Anlicia said solemnly, ¡°The Queen Bee is nearby, but the signal is very weak. She may have gone underground, perhaps mistaking the strange volcanic sulfuric odor as some kind of floral scent.¡± Catherine giggled, ¡°Animals¡¯ instincts are seldom wrong. I think the volcanic odor is like a kind of sandalwood. Maybe it¡¯s a new undiscovered specialty of the island.¡± A new specialty? Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat. Isn¡¯t this a chance for someone like me to gain some reputation? Such a great deal just went down without increasing my prestige¨Cwicked! It¡¯s like the dwarves think I¡¯m taking advantage of a difficult situation. Da Fei quickly said, ¡°Hurry and find it! We must find it!¡± The group followed a mine path underground, where dwarf oil lamps, freshly discarded tools, and cargo not yet fully loaded illuminated their way. Clearly, the dwarves had gone to the docks to unload cargo. ¡°Found it!¡± At the bottom of the shaft, Anlicia joyfully sped towards a dark corner, immediately discovering the Queen Bee desperately struggling in a spider web, with a fist-sized spider dead beside her. Anlicia gasped, ¡°Oh my, finally found her!¡± With tears streaming down her face, she carefully pulled the Queen Bee from the web, ¡°It scared me to death! How could the mighty Queen Bee wander off to almost die in a spider¡¯s web?¡± Selvia was astonished, ¡°She seems injured. I wonder if my Healing Skill will work on a bee.¡± Anlicia quickly said, ¡°Whether it works or not, we must try!¡± ¡°Alright!¡± A faint golden glow spilled from Selvia¡¯s fingertips, and the Queen Bee¡¯s convulsions eased! Anlicia was overjoyed, ¡°It worked! Thank you, Miss Selvia!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Selvia nodded, ¡°It was necessary!¡± Ah, phew! Da Fei finally let out a long sigh of relief. Thank goodness she was found; it¡¯s all good now. Who would have thought Selvia could heal even insects? This is a sure sign she¡¯s advancing to God-level! And Da Fei suddenly paused when he saw the spider. Why would there be a spider here? There¡¯s not even a single blade of grass, so there shouldn¡¯t be any insects, right? What do spiders eat? Mosquitoes? But mosquitoes need water grasses as a nursery! Oh, wait! This spider looks very familiar! Aside from being much smaller, isn¡¯t it the same species I stepped on in the nursery? (Yesterday¡¯s paint, furniture, and computer were moved.) (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian [wuxiaworld.site] with recommendation votes and monthly votes.

Chapter 242 - Chapter 242: Chapter 228 Gambling God Buffett Chapter 242: Chapter 228 Gambling God Buffett Anlicia suddenly said, ¡°Behind this spider web, there seems to be a gap, and a bit of hot air is blowing out!¡± Catherine nodded, ¡°If you sniff carefully, there¡¯s a strange fragrance in the wind. What could be the source of this wind?¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched, could it be? So Da Fei tried to pick up the dead spider. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have obtained the suspicious spider¡¯s corpse. The suspicious spider¡¯s corpse, White Name, had no attributes, nor was it marked as a quest item. Da Fei furrowed his brows, this thing was similar to the Soul Essence given to Makar back then. In such a case, it could either be a legendary hidden quest item or just some useless junk waiting to be refreshed by the system. Damn! This spider must definitely be from the Demon Race! This spider had to be a spy infiltrated from the crevice by the Demon Race! Humans digging in mines to find ghosts, and dwarves mining to Hell, are all normal plots. Moreover, there¡¯s a volcano here; isn¡¯t a volcano a regular channel for the Hell Race to invade the surface world? Thinking of the plot background being stuck here for three years, it must either be related to the legendary Evil Dragon or the Dark Alliance¡¯s plan to seize the island. Furthermore, Makar having me deliver goods to them might have some deeper meaning. It seems that the waters of Fire Dragon Island are very deep. However, I¡¯m not going to wade into these troubled waters! Renior was right, as a navigator, you can¡¯t get involved in the wrong task at the wrong time and the wrong place. Especially being as awesome as I am, just fighting an octopus can trigger a salvage ship mission for a master like me, I¡¯m destined to trigger hidden tasks wherever I go. If I took every task I came across, how could I keep up? So, Da Fei decided not to bother. However, having noticed a hint of crisis, it was wise to issue a little warning; some advance notice could slightly increase friendliness. Da Fei and his party retraced their steps from the mineshaft and returned to the harbor town. At this time, the entire town was lively with celebration; the streets were lined with braziers filled with burning volcanic rocks, giving off a festive air. Seeing Da Fei¡¯s arrival, the dwarves greeted him: ¡°Warrior, the General is waiting for you at the tavern!¡± It¡¯s nothing but a victory feast, what must come has come. Da Fei arrived at the tavern, which was bustling with people and noise, filled with the aroma of grilled squid. The dwarves were enjoying Elf Kingdom¡¯s fine wine and feasting on octopus. Seeing Da Fei appear, Bato laughed heartily and said, ¡°Lieutenant, you agreeing to join us in salvaging shipwrecks is great. I¡¯ll dispatch the fleet to help you with whaling as well; once your ship is repaired, we¡¯ll set off. Of course, don¡¯t thank me, the fleet has been frozen for ten months and needs some action.¡± Good grief, he¡¯s actually helping me? Da Fei took out the dead spider and said seriously, ¡°General, when we were searching for the bees, we found this at the bottom of the mine. I find it very strange.¡± Bato took the spider, his face darkened, and his beard twitched: ¡°Lieutenant, what do you think this is?¡± With one look at his expression, I knew I had fulfilled my intention, that¡¯s enough, being a master, I can¡¯t let you prompt me for more. If I say you might have dug into Hell, it might trigger another frustrating task. Da Fei laughed and said, ¡°I think there shouldn¡¯t be bugs here. I think there might be some new specialty like incense.¡± ¡°A new specialty?¡± Bato laughed, throwing the dead spider into the trash can: ¡°Lieutenant, our Fire Dragon Island is rich in minerals and distant from mainland, so it¡¯s normal for some strange folks to have ideas. But we don¡¯t care who comes, if they are enemies, we¡¯ll eliminate them; if they are friends, we¡¯ll welcome them warmly!¡± All the dwarves in the room immediately raised their glasses and shouted: ¡°Eliminate the enemy, welcome the friend! Wahahaha!¡± Is this giving me the answer hint? I¡¯m definitely keeping my mouth shut, absolutely not making any declarations. Whether it¡¯s the Undead Viking at sea or the Hell Demon underground, none of it concerns me, wahahaha! Since Da Fei didn¡¯t take the bait, naturally the dwarves wouldn¡¯t proactively give out tasks, either. Bato patted Da Fei¡¯s shoulder and laughed heartily, ¡°Alright, I need to go maintain the warships now; you¡¯ve worked hard too. There are the finest guest rooms on the second floor of the tavern, you can rest anytime.¡± Da Fei laughed, ¡°Thank you, General!¡± As the General left, Spielberg approached with a smile and said, ¡°Captain, the octopus was weighed and sold. In total, there were 165 pieces, selling for 100,000 Gold Coins. As per agreement, I¡¯ll give half to you, Captain!¡± He said while pulling out a pouch, and with a clatter! This was the unique and delightful sound of Gold Coins that nothing, not even the noisy tavern, could drown out. Even the drunken dwarves could not help but perk up their ears and look toward the direction of the sound. ¨CSystem Prompt: You have received 50,000 Gold Coins from Spielberg. Da Fei, stunned, said, ¡°It was sold for Gold Coins? Not traded for minerals?¡± The shopkeeper Buckley laughed, ¡°As long as we can afford it, of course, we¡¯ll still pay in Gold Coins.¡± Damn! 50,000 Gold Coins! I can trade minerals twice with my 50,000 Gold Coin goods for 10 million worth! When I wanted Gold Coins, you gave me minerals; when I wanted minerals, you give Gold Coins, are you deliberately messing with me? Buckley laughed again, ¡°By the way, the Gambling God Buffett you¡¯re looking for is over there. You can seek his guidance, but I advise you, don¡¯t gamble with him! He¡¯s drinking and short on cash!¡± Following the direction of the shopkeeper¡¯s finger, Da Fei saw a dwarf with braided beard in the tavern¡¯s corner staring intensely at him, and Da Fei felt a rush of agony! Da Fei turned back and asked, ¡°Isn¡¯t he supposed to win every gamble? How can he be short of cash?¡± Buckley said solemnly, ¡°Because there¡¯s no one daring enough to gamble with him anymore!¡± Damn, worthy of the Gambling God, the realm of the Gambling God isn¡¯t winning every gamble, but being so powerful no one dares challenge him! But damn, that¡¯s a downright tragedy! Da Fei walked to his table, but before he could speak, Buffett already said, ¡°I heard, you want to learn the secrets of luck from me? Then you found the right person. I am the luckiest dwarf in the Kingdom, and I am challenging the God-level Luck Skill. If you want to learn something from me, talking alone won¡¯t do, you must challenge me!¡± Da Fei¡¯s stomach churned, ¡°Challenge?¡± ¡°Exactly!¡± Buffett immediately took out three dice: ¡°The rules are simple, compare the size!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Buffett invites you to join the gambling game, do you agree? ¨CSystem Prompt: The rules and odds of the gambling game are executed by the system in accordance with the national standard rules. Even if the player is not familiar with the rules, it will not affect the game. Reminding players to play healthy games, small bets are relaxing, big bets can ruin you, and extreme betting leads to all sorts of ruin! Da Fei froze! Damn it, a promising youth like me still truly doesn¡¯t know how to play these three dice! But since the system prompt is out, it implies this game excludes cheating? Damn! He¡¯s a Gambling God, why would he need to cheat! Da Fei cleared his throat and asked, ¡°Can we not gamble?¡± Buffett shook his head solemnly: ¡°Before I came here, I was a 120 Gold Coin per month HiredMercenary on the luxury liner Obsidian, without any standout traits. But the liner¡¯s captain, Bebble, claimed to be the luckiest and richest dwarf in the Dwarf Kingdom. Compared to him, I was nothing. Then, on June 26th, Genesis 89, the Obsidian encountered a storm and sank, I was the sole survivor. Now tell me, who is the luckiest dwarf in the Kingdom?¡± Da Fei, stunned, said, ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Buffett raised his empty glass, ¡°Won¡¯t you buy me a drink?¡± Da Fei hurried to call the shopkeeper, ¡°A few bottles of wine! I¡¯ll treat Mr. Buffett!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only For a moment, the whole tavern full of dwarves looked at Da Fei and a wave of shaking heads and sighs followed. Buffett, very pleased, said solemnly, ¡°What is luck? When you¡¯re so hungry you¡¯re gnawing on moldy bread soaked in seawater, feeling you¡¯re the unluckiest person in the world, yet you see the body of the richest guy in the world, undoubtedly, you¡¯re luckier than him! Luck isn¡¯t creating something from nothing; others¡¯ misfortunes are your luck. God¡¯s blessing upon you to grant you luck means God¡¯s blessing was withdrawn from them and they become unlucky. So, do you understand now? If not, you will never advance!¡± Da Fei, stunned, said, ¡°So you mean if I gamble and win against you, I can advance?¡± Buffett nodded seriously, ¡°Exactly! Right now you¡¯re full of luck, you just need a small opportunity, this opportunity is to compare with another just as lucky person. Their misfortune is your luck. How simple and straightforward a way to advance is this! In my view, Luck Skill is clearer and simpler to advance than any skill!¡± Damn, you say I¡¯m full of luck? You even see through that? This isn¡¯t even close to being a fair match, how can I possibly win against you? (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets at wuxiaworld.site.

Chapter 243: Chapter 229: Gambling God, We Are Playing 15 Hands! Buffett pulled out a gold coin and said, ¡°I have only one gold coin on me, while you have at least 50,000 gold coins. In gambling, it¡¯s always the player with deep pockets that has the advantage. Because if they lose one round, they can bet two coins the next time. If they lose again, they can bet four coins, and if they lose again, eight. They have no reason to lose continuously, right? As long as they win one round, all previous losses are recovered. And for you, winning just one round against me would promote you to a Master of Luck. How does that sound? The opportunity is right in front of you!¡± Da Fei raised an eyebrow; what he said made a lot of sense! Although winning one round against him to get promoted sounded unreliable, with this kind of betting, wouldn¡¯t my 50,000 gold coins be more than enough? Am I really afraid of him? He decided to go for it. Da Fei sat down across from him and said seriously, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s start!¡± Buffett laughed heartily, ¡°Luck is important, but courage is essential! You have all the qualities for promotion!¡± In that instant, the entire tavern of dwarfs erupted, ¡°Buffett is finally gambling again!¡± People quickly gathered around to watch, and the atmosphere felt like a ¡°Gambling God¡± was in the house! Buffett solemnly placed his only gold coin on the table and said, ¡°I bet 1 coin! It¡¯s your turn to bet now.¡± Da Fei asked with surprise, ¡°How much should I bet?¡± Da Fei was a complete novice when it came to gambling. Of course, this was a shining example of Da Fei¡¯s noble character. He felt proud of his ignorance instead of ashamed! Buffett said solemnly, ¡°You can bet any amount; as long as I win, I¡¯ll win 1 gold coin from you. If you win, I¡¯ll pay whatever you bet, even though I don¡¯t have any more gold coins. I have some valuable treasures on me, so don¡¯t worry, I can afford to lose.¡± I see. Dwarfs¡¯ gambling was indeed simple and straightforward. Da Fei¡¯s goal wasn¡¯t to win money but to win against him. So Da Fei also pulled out a gold coin and said, ¡°Then I¡¯ll bet 1 coin too!¡± Buffett nodded, ¡°Let¡¯s get started! I¡¯ll roll first!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: Your ¡°High Stakes¡± game with Buffett is now starting! And in that instant, a rainbow of light rose above Buffett¡¯s head, and the entire tavern of dwarfs exclaimed, ¡°The God of Luck is smiling on Buffett again!¡± Da Fei looked up at his head in astonishment and nearly peed himself! Are you kidding me? When others invoke luck, it¡¯s just a flash of rainbow light, but on him, it lingered like the halo behind a Buddha¡¯s head, like the glow on a high-level angel¡¯s head! This was undoubtedly a God-level Skill. Holy shit, how outrageous was this! Was he sure he hadn¡¯t reached the God-level realm? As the three dice settled in the bowl, he got a result: 1, 2, 5. It didn¡¯t look impressive! Wasn¡¯t the Gambling God supposed to easily roll three sixes? Was there a chance here? ¨CSystem Prompt: Buffett rolled a total of 8 points. ¡°Your turn!¡± Buffett said with an incredibly serious look on his face. All the dwarves immediately quieted and watched Da Fei intently. Damn it, how to win against someone blatantly cheating like this? It¡¯s pointless to say anything, for a mere 1 coin, just roll! 3, 2, 2. Damn! Was it meant to mess with me? The entire room of dwarves erupted, ¡°Only 1 point short! So close!¡± ¨CSystem Prompt: You rolled a total of 7 points. Unfortunately, you lost 1 gold coin to Buffett! ¨CSystem Prompt: In the Luck Challenge, you lost to Buffett and gained information on Master-level Luck Skill! Da Fei raised an eyebrow; the Master info emerged for real! He wasn¡¯t lying! Damn! It had to be, I¡¯m competing against someone with a God-level Skill, there must be info! So that¡¯s how it was. When Sailing Captain Juan discerned the Pirate King¡¯s God-level Skill, he instantly advanced to Grandmaster. So if I defeat this guy with a God-level Skill, I will certainly advance to Grandmaster too! Buffett happily pocketed Da Fei¡¯s wagered coin and asked with a smile, ¡°Well, did you gain any insights?¡± Da Fei nodded blankly, ¡°Yes, I did. But how long does your skill last?¡± Buffett laughed heartily, ¡°It lasts for a day! And this skill can only be used once a month! But only in this state will I be able to help you progress in our duel. Only with the temporary Master Luck upon you can you gain insights from our match. Without either of these conditions, you¡¯d miss today and have to find me again next month. But you¡¯ll have lost the temporary Master Luck, so it¡¯d just be a waste of money to find me again! So, do you want to continue? Opportunities shouldn¡¯t be missed!¡± I see! This temporary Master Luck of mine is a rare opportunity! Of course, I shouldn¡¯t miss it! Da Fei said resolutely, ¡°Let¡¯s continue!¡± Buffett said with satisfaction, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll bet 2 gold coins!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eye twitched; he was even betting the money he just won? Without further ado, let¡¯s begin! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only ¨CSystem Prompt: In the Luck Challenge, you lost to Buffett and gained information on Master-level Luck Skill! No turning back now, keep going! Buffett nodded, ¡°This time, I¡¯ll bet 4 gold coins!¡± Da Fei felt a shiver run through him! If he won again, would he bet 8 coins next time? Wasn¡¯t this the legendary exponential sequence? The basic principle of binary computing! It starts with 1 coin turning into 2, then 2 into 4, 4 into 8, 8 into 16, 16 into 32, 32 into 64, 64 into 128, only 7 times, not much to notice. But by the 10th time, it becomes frightening: 1024! That¡¯s right; in 10 rounds, your stake multiplies a thousand times! And what if it goes through 10 more rounds? That¡¯s a thousand times a thousand, which is 2 to the power of 20, over a million! Multiplied by a million! Chapter 244 - Chapter 244: Chapter 229: Gambling God, Were Playing 15 Rounds!_2 Chapter 244: Chapter 229: Gambling God, We¡¯re Playing 15 Rounds!_2 Ge Jiu Bu Xin Liao ,Ge Hao Dai Ye You Ren Yu Sheng Zhe Jia Cheng De Lin Shi Zong Shi Wai Jia 5Dian Xing Yun ,Huan You E Yun Sha Lou ,Dui Liao ,E Yun Sha Lou !E Yun Sha Lou Qi Zuo Yong Liao Mei You ? Da Fei hurriedly checked his Luck Value. No mistake! The casino was like a battlefield, and the Misfortune Hourglass had indeed worked! That was it, he didn¡¯t believe he couldn¡¯t win a single round! Da Fei gritted his teeth and said, ¡°Continue!¡± Buffett laughed heartily, ¡°I admire that, this time I¡¯ll bet 8 Gold Coins!¡± It really was a screwy sequence! As the gambling progressed, the entire tavern erupted in enthusiastic cheers. For the dwarves today, being able to drink the long-missed fine wine, eat fresh octopus meat along with the long-missed Elf Kingdom wheat cakes, and witness the gambling flair of the Gambling God who hadn¡¯t made a move in three years, was truly more thrilling than a festival! Now, Da Fei lost the 10th round! Lost 1,023 Gold Coins! In these 10 rounds, Da Fei really couldn¡¯t win a single one! Although, relative to Da Fei¡¯s fifty thousand capital, these 10 rounds were just for fun and not worth mentioning, Da Fei knew that playing a few more rounds, fifty thousand capital wasn¡¯t even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth! This was beyond the common logic of probability! Of course, the so-called ¡°Saint¡± was someone who could turn an extremely improbable event into a very probable one. The so-called ¡°God¡± was someone who could turn an event with a probability of zero, meaning an impossible event, into a possible one! Common logic couldn¡¯t explain God-level Skills! Da Fei had to face a harsh reality. The Gambling God might truly be unbeatable for him, even with a screwy hourglass. Was it really so hard to advance to Master-level? He had come this far, he had met both necessary conditions he mentioned! Would the game create an advancement test that players couldn¡¯t complete? Wait a minute! His gambling method was very binary, wasn¡¯t it? A whimsical idea suddenly popped into Da Fei¡¯s mind! But this idea was too unreliable, right? Seeing Da Fei¡¯s face devoid of momentum, Buffett laughed, ¡°So, are you continuing?¡± The dwarves in the room sighed in unison, ¡°Forget it, it¡¯s not gonna work, the Gambling God Buffett blessed by the God of Luck is unbeatable.¡± Da Fei sighed deeply, ¡°Mr. Buffett, now you have the capital too, can we have a fair bet tomorrow? If I succeed in advancing, I¡¯ll give you extra compensation.¡± Buffett said solemnly, ¡°No! It¡¯s not about the money, but starting tomorrow, I will be unlucky for a month continuously, and no lucky items will work. In that state, I will not only lose every gamble but will also be unable to provide you with insights! Tomorrow I won¡¯t be the Gambling God, just a worthless unlucky guy!¡± Da Fei was stunned, ¡°Unlucky for a month continuously? Is that the price of using the Divine Skill?¡± Buffett solemnly said, ¡°Correct! What is luck? Luck is a mortal¡¯s fate. What is a Master of Luck? When a mortal has the ability to control their own luck, they become a master, but when a mortal finds they have controlled luck, the truth is so cruel! Luck is still something a mortal can hardly reach, so I am terrified, which is why I am committed to reaching the God-level realm! Perhaps, God-level can eliminate my fear!¡± Da Fei stood in a daze for a moment, was Master-level luck the legendary burst of personal luck, using a day of luck to exhaust a lifetime¡¯s worth? If that¡¯s true, wouldn¡¯t it be screwy to death? He didn¡¯t pray for good luck, but absolutely didn¡¯t want bad luck; even-keeled luck was enough for him! Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but sigh deeply, ¡°With such big drawbacks to Master-level luck, what value is there in pursuing it? Consistent bad luck for a month is beyond what I can bear.¡± Buffett pointed to the three Female Heroes behind Da Fei, ¡°It seems they¡¯ve all learned a bit of Luck Skill, right? When the main commander is unlucky, as long as the Vice Hero¡¯s Luck Value is acceptable, the impact on your troops won¡¯t be too great.¡± Damn! Are you kidding me! Does each Vice Hero have to fully learn the Luck Skill? How many Skill Points will that cost me altogether? Isn¡¯t this even screwier? Wait a minute! He was not only very cooperative but also guiding me everywhere, surely it wasn¡¯t just to win some money, right? If it was just for the money, would he need to say so much? Well, even if it was intentionally showing off his knowledge, at least it indicated one thing, subconsciously perhaps he also hoped to use this opportunity to progress himself, right? Da Fei then asked, ¡°How far are you from God-level?¡± Buffett shook his head, ¡°I don¡¯t know!¡± Da Fei asked again, ¡°I heard someone say earlier that you haven¡¯t gambled for three years?¡± Buffett sighed, ¡°Yeah! It almost killed me with poverty!¡± Then he laughed, ¡°But it¡¯s okay now, I won enough money to drink for three years, so what do you think? Continue on or not? I¡¯m indifferent.¡± That meant this guy hadn¡¯t gambled for three years, saving up three years¡¯ worth of personal luck? If that was the case¨C Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei said solemnly, ¡°Perhaps, you¡¯re not far from advancing to God-level either! Maybe, today!¡± Buffett was suddenly taken aback, ¡°What do you mean?¡± Da Fei shook his head, ¡°I¡¯m not sure, I¡¯ve advanced multiple Master Skills, I have some insights on advancing to Master-level, I believe, confrontation may not be the only way to advance to Master-level!¡± Buffett¡¯s eyelids twitched, ¡°How can that be! Gambling has always been a zero-sum game, a gambler¡¯s luck has always been built on another gambler¡¯s misfortune!¡± Da Fei shook his head, ¡°That¡¯s the gambler¡¯s mindset, if you change your way of thinking, then it¡¯s like achieving greatness where even the lesser beings benefit, one person gets lucky and it will also bring luck to the people around him!¡± Chapter 245 - Chapter 245: Chapter 229: Gambling God, Were Playing 15 Rounds!_3 Chapter 245: Chapter 229: Gambling God, We¡¯re Playing 15 Rounds!_3 ¡°Buffett frowned and said, ¡°He and the people around him were lucky, which means that many others were unlucky. It¡¯s still a zero-sum game!¡± Da Fei nodded, ¡°You¡¯re absolutely right, sir, but at least he can make a small group around him lucky as well. Isn¡¯t that enough?¡± Buffett suddenly realized, ¡°You mean, you want me to reach God-level so you can advance to Grandmaster?¡± Da Fei nodded again, ¡°Exactly. I¡¯m a Crossbow Cannon Grandmaster. Do you know how I became a Grandmaster? It wasn¡¯t through relentless slaughter, nor through endless study of new Crossbow Cannons. It was by teaching Crossbow Cannon skills to others. When I taught others, my own level naturally improved!¡± Buffett stood up abruptly, ¡°Tell me, what do you plan to do!¡± Da Fei gritted his teeth, ¡°Of course, I¡¯m going to keep gambling!¡± Da Fei wanted to try out a sudden absurd idea, even if it was absurd, that would let him win a large sum of money in one go. Just like running a business; the more you earn, the more experience you gain. So if a gambler wins more, it must be possible to advance, right? Buffett was dumbfounded, ¡°You want to go on?¡± Da Fei turned to Spielberg and sighed, ¡°Sir, could I borrow, say, 14,000 Gold Coins from you? If you¡¯re not comfortable with that, it¡¯s alright. I¡¯ll try to gamble a few rounds with others to gather 14,000 Gold Coins before the day ends.¡± Borrowing money from an NPC was unreliable, yet it¡¯s something Da Fei had experienced before¨Ccarrying a massive debt of 100 million. Spielberg sighed, ¡°Although I never lend for gambling, since it¡¯s to help Mr. Buffett advance to God-level, I can make an exception. However, I have one condition!¡± Da Fei quickly replied, ¡°An interest fee?¡± Spielberg laughed, ¡°It¡¯s a condition for Mr. Buffett!¡± Buffett exclaimed, ¡°What?¡± Spielberg laughed, ¡°The Captain and Mr. Buffett, two of the luckiest people, meeting on such a distant island to discuss the mysteries of God-level¨Cit indeed would be a lovely story throughout the Hero Continent!¡± Coltner immediately said, ¡°I¡¯m a poet, and I have good connections in the Kingdom. I¡¯ll compose a poem about this meeting and make it widely known.¡± ¡°Sing about it?¡± a room full of dwarves muttered, ¡°What are you planning?¡± Spielberg laughed, ¡°Since the Captain wants to study God-level skills through gambling, I hope that after the study ends, win or lose, Mr. Buffett will return the money! After all, it¡¯s all to help you!¡± ¡°Return the money after winning?¡± Buffett was taken aback, and the room full of dwarves erupted in surprise. And Da Fei was even more stunned, speechless! Wow, this Spielberg usually doesn¡¯t speak; he makes an impact whenever he does! Making gambling out to be research! ¡°No way! No way! We dwarves have no such rules!¡± The entire venue was filled with boos from the dwarves. Damn! So it¡¯s not going to work? If a player makes such a nonsensical request, it¡¯s understandable if it¡¯s unsuccessful, but not even the NPC Spielberg can make it work? Wait! Da Fei was startled. What does it mean when an NPC suddenly steps in? It means a special scene plot has been triggered! Just like before in the cabin of the Flying, when Didi and Lili spoke to the creepy gunner before they became adults! Triggering a special scene means an important event has happened! From my experience, it¡¯s the precursor to advancing! It means all the conditions for someone to advance are already met! That¡¯s why the system plays a special cutscene! It¡¯s bound to succeed! Today will definitely succeed! Da Fei was vaguely excited! What should I do now? Just smile, right? Facing the dwarves¡¯ opposition, Spielberg shook his head and sighed, ¡°Captain, since they all disagree, there¡¯s nothing we can do. We can¡¯t risk losing money ourselves to help someone advance to God-level. Sorry, I can¡¯t lend the money.¡± Coltner also sighed, ¡°It¡¯s a pity, a legendary poem lost!¡± Da Fei was bewildered, what performance was this? Buffett slapped the table with resolve, ¡°Fine! Money is not the problem. Whether or not I advance, I¡¯ll pay back the winnings. Of course, I won¡¯t pay back the 1,023 Gold Coins I¡¯ve won now!¡± Da Fei burst out laughing, ¡°As expected of the Gambling God! Then let¡¯s get started!¡± Now, the 11th round began, and Da Fei lost. Then, the 12th round began, and Da Fei lost again. The 13th round, 14th round, Da Fei lost again. The 15th round began, and now, Buffett, who had won 15 rounds in a row, bet everything, 32,768 Gold Coins! And how much did Da Fei have in hand? 32,768! If Da Fei lost, what would happen? The legendary 65,535 would appear! It is a magical number! It is a number often seen, it is 255¡Á255, the legendary limit of binary! In Da Fei¡¯s gaming era, whether using a cheat to modify single-player games or on a private server, 65,535 was a sacred and inviolable number; once you surpassed this threshold, -1 would appear, and a new cycle would begin! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Now, facing this magical number, Gambling God, how will you respond? ¡ª-System Prompt: In the Lucky Duel, you lost to Buffett. You received information about the Master-level Luck Skill! Da Fei and the Gambling God exchanged glances. Crap, thought too much! The rule of 65,535, from ancient times, couldn¡¯t thwart the high-tech game Heroic Creation Era. Da Fei could only give a long sigh, ¡°Gambling God, pay up; let¡¯s play another 15 rounds!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 246 - Chapter 246: Chapter 230: Divine Artifact, The Gold Coin of Fate Chapter 246: Chapter 230: Divine Artifact, The Gold Coin of Fate When you encounter an unbeatable opponent that seems godlike, what should you do? As a Saint, shouting and unleashing your small universe is ultimately unreliable. Often, the best course of action is to have a good talk, just like China facing the United States, just like Da Fei facing the Gambling God now. Opposing through cooperation, cooperating through opposition, it¡¯s not only a test of strength but also a test of wisdom. Da Fei clearly found the most suitable method. At this moment, the two of them were happily grinding experience points in the tavern! Grinding with an NPC, what kind of level is this? God-level! Money wasn¡¯t really the problem. The key was to make him keep winning. Da Fei firmly believed that as long as he kept winning, he could reach God-level! However, their fake gambling act of mutual grinding instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of the dwarves in the room, causing them to jeer and return to their seats, drinking on their own. Time ticked by, and Da Fei no longer remembered which round it was. In any case, the Gambling God continued to play the myth of being undefeated. Da Fei believed that if someone dared to gamble with him, he could win the entire world in one day! This skill was just too powerful! Trading thirty days of misfortune for one day of invincibility wasn¡¯t really a bad deal, right? The mutual grinding continued. Suddenly, Buffett stopped shaking the dice, his expression solemn as he said, ¡°I have a strange premonition! I¡¯ve never encountered this before!¡± Da Fei¡¯s brow twitched, ¡°Could it be that you¡¯re advancing?¡± Buffett¡¯s beard trembled with excitement as he somberly said, ¡°Let¡¯s begin. We¡¯ll find out in the next round!¡± Da Fei excitedly nodded his head! Finally, the result was coming out, he thought gleefully, wow hahaha! The crucial round began! The moment Buffett¡¯s dice landed in the bowl, a red light soared above his head, shattering the rainbow light circling above him like the clinking of broken glass. Misfortune struck! The Gambling God actually hit misfortune! In that instant, both Da Fei and Buffett were dumbfounded! And at that moment, the dice in the bowl also came up with a result, making both of them even more stunned! ¡ª-System Prompt: Buffett rolled a total of 2 points. 2 points! No mistake, 3 dice rolled a total of 2 points! One die was 1 point, and another die was also 1 point, the difference being that one die was pinned under the third die! The system determined that the pinned die had no points! Holy crap! Even a situation like this can occur! Meanwhile, a dwarf watching the game exclaimed, ¡°Oh my gosh, how could this happen?¡± The entire tavern of dwarves gathered around again, the room exploding in noise, ¡°Is there anything smaller than 2 points?¡± The crowd laughed, ¡°Unless all three dice stand upright!¡± With a dazed expression, Buffett asked, ¡°Do you know what happened?¡± Da Fei nodded dumbly! He knew Buffett no longer had the divine protection of luck, that he was finished! Buffett said blankly, ¡°Your turn now.¡± My turn? 2 points! There was no way he could lose to 2 points, right? Unless he really was so skilled that all three dice stood up! Could he win? Yes, this so-called turning of tides, he had to win! But the problem was, if he won, he wouldn¡¯t be able to help him advance to God-level, right? Oh well! His own advancement was good enough! Despite not knowing exactly what was going on, Da Fei felt something big was happening as he couldn¡¯t contain his inner joy, and the three dice flew out of his hands! In that moment, a rainbow light rose above Da Fei¡¯s head! It appeared! The tides were turning! His luck finally appeared! Before he could celebrate, a red light suddenly shot skyward, shattering the rainbow light with a crash! Was it also misfortune? Was he mistaken? Why did both of them hit misfortune? ¡ª-Ding! A light sound came from the bowl, the dwarves gasping in shock, Da Fei¡¯s eyes wide open in disbelief! ¡ª-System Prompt: You rolled a total of 2 points! It¡¯s a tie! ¡ª-System Prompt: You tied with Buffett in the Luck Duel, gaining information about Master-level Luck Skill! Da Fei was astonished! Why did he also roll 2 points? It was because there was only one die in the bowl! That die was 2 points! Where were the other two dice? During the collision, they flew out of the bowl! Whether it was excitement or the system¡¯s arrangement, now it was a tie! Da Fei was utterly shocked! He couldn¡¯t win even in the worst-case scenario? However, turning an unwinnable situation into a tie was a significant turning point! Maybe he could win the next round? At this time, Buffett regained his composure, sighing solemnly, ¡°I was wrong, I was too naive, for the last match, let¡¯s follow the will of God and decide the winner with one die.¡± Da Fei exclaimed in shock, ¡°The will of God? The last match?¡± Buffett said with a face full of fear, ¡°Our behavior has angered the gods! We might be punished by them!¡± All the watching dwarves gloated, ¡°That¡¯s right! There¡¯s never been a rule of returning the money you win by gambling, you¡¯re asking for divine retribution!¡± Da Fei was stunned again! Angered the gods? Was mutual grinding banned by the system here? ¡°Let¡¯s begin,¡± Buffett said with a grim expression, placing a Gold Coin down, ¡°Let God decide the fate of the loser!¡± Da Fei solemnly nodded. Though he didn¡¯t know what was going on, things transforming suddenly like this were definitely not part of the normal advancement process, right? He was way too naive! In the silence and calm of the whole room of dwarves, Buffett rolled a 3! Now it was Da Fei¡¯s turn. Da Fei took a deep breath, with no Divine Skill to protect his opponent now, from a conceptual standpoint, could he win after losing almost a hundred rounds? Ding, with a crisp sound, a 4! Da Fei¡¯s eyelid twitched, he¡¯d won! Just then, a rainbow light rose above Da Fei¡¯s head! ¡ª-System Prompt: You defeated Buffett in the Luck Duel, you successfully mastered Master-level Luck Skill! He¡¯d won! He reached master-level, wow hahaha! Da Fei stood up in excitement! At the same time, a black rainbow light rose above Buffett¡¯s head, what was this? Buffett now appeared terrified, the whole room of dwarves erupted in chaos, scared and retreating, ¡°Oh no, Buffett has been cursed!¡± Cursed? Was this God¡¯s punishment for the loser? If he had lost, would the system punish the player the same way? At that moment, Buffett laughed heartily, then raised his glass high calling out to the whole room of dwarves, ¡°Friends, I have entered a new domain, I¡¯m buying everyone a drink with the money I won! Buckley, drinks on me!¡± The room erupted immediately, ¡°Aren¡¯t you obviously cursed like this?¡± Buffett picked up a Gold Coin from the table, handing it to Da Fei, exclaiming, ¡°Thank you, though you didn¡¯t advance me to God-level Luck Skill, and I was cursed by God losing the Luck Skill, I actually acquired a skill only said to exist in rare Demons in legends, the Misfortune Skill, its effect is the opposite of Luck Skill! I¡¯ve had enough of the Luck Skill, it made me feel fear, this Gold Coin I can¡¯t use, I give it to you, when I saw the wealthiest dwarf Bebble¡¯s corpse during the shipwreck, this was clutched tightly in his hand!¡± ¡ª-System Prompt: Buffett gifted you the ¡°Coin of Fortune.¡± ¡ª-Coin of Fortune: Divine Artifact, Luck Skill level +1, comes with ¡°God of Luck¡± skill! ¡ª-God of Luck: Allows the user a full day of good fortune, after use, the user will experience Absolute Misfortune for a month! Da Fei could barely keep his mouth closed in shock, ¡°It¡¯s actually a Divine Artifact!¡± So the skill he was using was a Divine Artifact Skill! He thought there wasn¡¯t such an OP skill in the Skill Book! Buffett laughed heartily, ¡°It looks just like a regular Gold Coin, right? It was my very first one!¡± Then solemnly said, ¡°Listen, Divine Artifacts are not something Mortals can use lightly, luck, just like the two sides of a coin, brought Bebble enormous wealth, but ultimately destroyed him! I too was endlessly wielding the power given to me by the artifact, fortunately, I knew when to stop. Well, this place is no longer suitable for my training, I¡¯m going to travel to a new place now, see you.¡± Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°Travel? Take my ship back, I still have many things to learn from you sir!¡± Buffett laughed heartily, ¡°I¡¯m almost becoming a Knight of Misfortune, whoever I¡¯m with will have terrible luck, anyway, thank you, hopefully, if there¡¯s a chance, we can meet again in the goblin casino Las Vistas, wow hahaha!¡± With that, he took out a Town Recall Scroll and vanished. Darn! That fellow wasn¡¯t poor, he had a Town Recall Scroll! The Town Recall Scrolls in this game aren¡¯t cheap! Oh, right, did he just say Knight of Misfortune? A hidden skill? Damn, if I had lost, would I have gained a hidden skill? Just then, Buckley shouted, ¡°Outrageous! Inviting guests without paying for the drinks and running off!¡± Spielberg cleared his throat and said, ¡°Captain, he didn¡¯t pay just now.¡± Da Fei was stunned, ¡°Didn¡¯t pay? I won against him!¡± Darn, wait, the last wager he put down was 1 Gold Coin! Damn it! These deceitful dwarves not only swindled his money, but also gave him a harmful Divine Artifact, too bad, so bad, ahh! Da Fei laughed heartily, ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll pay for the drinks, it¡¯s on me!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only The room erupted with cheers. Now, with this Divine Artifact, Da Fei¡¯s Luck Skill temporarily upgraded to God-level. God-level, seems like a scam, huh! Anyway, know when to stop! The sub-skill of Master-level Luck Skill is Lucky Hand¨Cwhen activated on a unit at a tactical position, the unit¡¯s next move will definitely have a luck effect. Can only be used once a day. Nothing much to say, while it pales in comparison to the absurdity of a Divine Artifact Skill, it also has no side effects. Da Fei took out the Luck Skill Book, a flash of golden light, and learned it! As for now, while the ship was still under repair, he planned for everyone to stay at an inn to rest. Presumably, whale hunting at sea would be another overnight task, and having stayed up for two days himself, he really needed to catch up on some sleep first. (To be continued.

Chapter 247 - Chapter 247: Chapter 231: There Really Is a Specialty Product Chapter 247: Chapter 231: There Really Is a Specialty Product When Da Fei, who had been sleeping with his helmet on, was awakened by a knocking sound in his earphones, two days had already passed in the game. The knocker was Spielberg: ¡°Captain, my ship has been repaired, and the General is ready too. Shall we set sail?¡± Da Fei stretched lazily: ¡°Of course.¡± A good 4+ hours of shut-eye had made him feel much better. At the docks of Fire Dragon Island, there was a bustle of activity as Bato and a group of officers were directing operations. Teams of dwarves were transporting barrel-shaped objects to several flatbed cargo ships ¨C those were floatation tanks specifically designed for salvaging sunken ships. Salvaging sunken ships was a sub-skill of Master-level Navigation Skill and a rather popular means of earning money among players embarking on maritime adventures during the open beta. The principle of floatation tank salvaging is simple: first, send divers down to tie one end of a rope around the sunken ship, and the other end to the floatation tanks. Of course, the floatation tanks are forcibly submerged below the water surface by the people above. Thus, the submerged floatation tanks exert a certain pulling force on the sunken ship. Of course, the pulling force of a single floatation tank is negligible, which is why many tanks are needed for salvaging a ship. These tanks, linked together like a string of grapes, lift the entire sunken vessel. Then, with the aid of winches equipped on the salvage vessels, the lifting operation is carried out. The key to salvaging lies in sending divers to tie down the sunken ships. Too deep, and a ship can¡¯t be salvaged; if sea monsters have made it their home, it can¡¯t be salvaged either. Seeing Da Fei¡¯s arrival, Bato laughed heartily: ¡°Lieutenant, we¡¯ve been waiting for you. Let¡¯s set off!¡± Da Fei murmured an acknowledgment and looked towards the bay where the fleet was already waiting outside the harbor. However, the Radiant Wings was still docked in the bay. Da Fei asked in surprise: ¡°Isn¡¯t my Radiant Wings repaired yet?¡± Bato shook his head and sighed: ¡°That ship can¡¯t be fixed in a short time, especially since the mainmast is broken. It¡¯s not something that can be fixed with glue, and we don¡¯t have a replacement mast here either. So, anyway, we¡¯ll find a way. For now, Lieutenant, please board my Flame Lord.¡± Spielberg also said, ¡°Captain, with so many warships from the General to help, my single ship can handle the situation too.¡± Is it really because it¡¯s a backwater place that they can¡¯t repair big ships? What would they do if their giant warships were smashed to pieces? Da Fei heaved a silent sigh, then resigned himself: ¡°Alright, let¡¯s set off!¡± Bato gave the signal: ¡°Set sail!¡± Instantly, horns sounded in unison and the alarm bells rang. Amidst the cheers and watchful eyes of the townsfolk, the salvage fleet left the harbor. Watching Bato, who was waving to the crowds on shore with great flourish, Da Fei truly felt a surge of emotion. In the Alliance Kingdom, where would a mere major have the privilege to show such pomp? Or be loosely addressed as ¡°General¡±? This is the advantage of being far from the emperor¡¯s reach on a remote island. Just then, Bato¡¯s tone grew solemn: ¡°Lieutenant, maybe you were right; we might have really discovered a special product in the place you mentioned.¡± Da Fei was taken aback: ¡°Special product? The crevice in the mine?¡± Bato spoke seriously: ¡°After two days of digging, we discovered a passage filled with mushroom spores. The thick spore pollen permeates the air, causing incessant coughing as soon as someone enters, so I immediately sealed off the entrance.¡± Only then did Da Fei have an epiphany: ¡°No wonder my bees were flying there!¡± Where does that passage lead? Da Fei certainly wouldn¡¯t ask. Even with the least bit of thought, one could tell it wasn¡¯t somewhere good. But it was surprising that this General was meticulous and had taken his report seriously enough to investigate thoroughly. He really did live up to his title of General. Bato chuckled, ¡°So I have a suggestion, Lieutenant. How about selling your bees to us at a high price? That way, we can not only add a honey specialty to our products but also use the bee swarm to consume the spore pollen in the passage, reducing the pollen concentration and allowing us to further explore the passage.¡± Anlicia immediately refused: ¡°No! These bees are mine; they were a birthday gift from my grandmother, and I will not sell them.¡± Da Fei shook his head with a wry smile: ¡°General, I¡¯m sorry! Her bees are extraordinarily special, so the General might as well have someone bring them over from the Kingdom.¡± What¡¯s more important is that I don¡¯t want to get involved in this mess, nor do I want to get in deeper¨Cwait a second? High price? What kind of high price are we talking about? Bato sighed: ¡°Even if we ask someone else, it would not be until this time next year that they could arrive, wasting an entire year just waiting, and our current situation can¡¯t afford to waste any more time!¡± As he said this, Bato¡¯s voice suddenly rose: ¡°How about this, miss? If you won¡¯t sell them, could you consider a loan? We¡¯ll return them to you after a year!¡± Anlicia chuckled, ¡°You want to borrow a queen bee from me, and after a year, when you have established a beekeeping farm with this queen bee, you would then return that same queen to me. What a profitable business proposal indeed?¡± Bato hurriedly said: ¡°Should I also return the beekeeping farm to you then? The farm is the fruit of our labor¨Chow about this: we each take half, you would get a 50% stake in the beekeeping farm, would that be okay?¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows jumped, ¡°Damn! A 50% stake in the specialty product! The General is indeed very generous! But clearly, he¡¯s trying to get me involved to help him fend off the Underground Spider Demons in order to protect that generous 50% stake. Isn¡¯t this a trap? I refuse to be fooled!¡± Anlicia also immediately shook her head, ¡°These bees are not only meaningful to me but their breed is also exceptional. You cannot find a second one throughout the entire Hero Continent. I would not risk cultivating such precious bees in such a dangerous place.¡± Yeah, not bad at all, this kid really understands the risks of investment. This passage will indeed be a battleground for the Demon Race to attack in the future. Opening a bee farm there is simply asking for trouble, isn¡¯t it? Bato gave a sigh and shook his head: ¡°Miss, your bee has been poisoned by that spore spider, and its life will not be long now. Only the pollen from the Spore Forest can possibly provide antibodies against the poison. As a Ranger Elf, you should know more about this than I do and should know the best course of action.¡± Anlicia¡¯s complexion changed: ¡°Does that mean I must keep bees there?¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyelids twitched, ¡°Damn! The General even has this kind of move up his sleeve! What he¡¯s saying does seem plausible, doesn¡¯t it?¡± Bato chuckled, ¡°Of course it¡¯s not a must for the miss, but for me, it truly is.¡± Anlicia said urgently, ¡°Then what are we waiting for! Let¡¯s hurry and set up the bee farm, let¡¯s get ashore¨Chey, hey, why didn¡¯t you say something so important on land, why wait until we¡¯re out at sea?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Bato chuckled, ¡°Even if we¡¯re going to set up a farm, we need to survey the surrounding terrain first, right? In any case, I¡¯ve already sent people to start preparing with due haste. I believe by the time we return from this sea trip, we¡¯ll be able to set it up.¡± Anlicia said, ¡°Oh, I see!¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but express his respect: ¡°The General really handles things with thorough planning and clear structure!¡± Bato laughed heartily, ¡°Mainly because time is really of the essence here. Actually, we consider the underground passage much more important than salvaging sunken ships, but salvaging has only the one opportunity when the ice thaws each year; it¡¯s an opportunity we truly cannot afford to miss.¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°I see, let¡¯s hope that we won¡¯t disappoint the General this time.¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 248 - Chapter 248: Chapter 232: Illusory Battleship Chapter 248: Chapter 232: Illusory Battleship The sky was clear, and the icebergs were starting to melt. Seagulls fluttered in the sky, while schools of fish surged in the sea. The fleet sped westward towards Fire Dragon Island. It was now the peak of the summer thaw, and there were not as many icebergs as there were when Da Fei first arrived. Heading further west, where would they reach? Naturally, it would be the mysterious East. The map of the Hero Continent was similar to Earth, but without America. The human, elf, dwarf Bright Alliance occupied the prosperous ¡°Europe,¡± the orcs roamed the ¡°Eastern Europe¡± plains, the undead lurked in ¡°West Asia,¡± the Mage Academy was in ¡°Africa,¡± and hell was presumably beneath the lava-boiling ground. As for the East, it was said to be a mysterious realm composed of countless islands and small land masses, ruled by the Naga Clan¡¯s seas, and few could reach it. In reality, it was akin to Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Players under level 50 going there would be courting death. However, players above level 50 could venture into the National War Zone of the New World, so during the public beta, the guilds from various countries concentrated their efforts on dominating the New World, leaving very little information about the East. Not to mention that going to the East required several consecutive real-world days of long-distance sailing, along with dealing with the powerful, unreachable Naga Clan, and the products there might not compare to the prosperous New World, so even fewer ventured there. Of course, some veteran players pointed out that in the old world dominated by NPC kingdom forces, the East was the only way for players to acquire personal territory. The precondition was that players needed to be strong enough to establish a foothold in the East. But if a player were that strong, it would be more suitable to develop in the New World. In short, the East seemed to be quite a chicken rib. Naturally, if everyone else was unwilling to go, then Da Fei certainly wouldn¡¯t want to either. Who said the East was the only way to gain territory, didn¡¯t I already have a piece of land underground? In any case, I¡¯d better hurry and get everything settled here, then transport the goods back for a few million, and I¡¯d have my first city-building fund secured. I can only hope nothing troublesome happens here, and everything goes smoothly. Da Fei withdrew his profound gaze from the East and quietly pulled Anlicia aside: ¡°Do we have a handle on this salvage operation?¡± Though Da Fei had accepted this task, he had been preoccupied with sleeping and hadn¡¯t prepared at all! The original plan was to install the Six-headed Sea Demon Statue to scare the octopus, but not only was it not installed, the ship wasn¡¯t even brought over, alright! Of course, hoping for the ships above the sea to scare off the octopus below wasn¡¯t realistic either. Anlicia chuckled: ¡°No plan!¡± Ugh! That¡¯s Anlicia for you, always so reliable with her words! Anlicia laughed again: ¡°But I have developed a new trick after discussing it with Mr. Spielberg, and he thinks it¡¯s feasible.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched: ¡°New trick?¡± Anlicia sighed: ¡°Yes, my Skira Illusion Skill has hit a bottleneck and can¡¯t go any further. I can¡¯t fully recreate Skira¡¯s form, especially its body under the sea, which I remember quite vaguely, so I can only change my target and morph into something else.¡± Da Fei suddenly realized, no wonder using Skira to scare sea monsters along the way showed no improvement, could it be necessary to encounter Skira again? No, don¡¯t want that! Da Fei quickly asked: ¡°What did your new skill morph into?¡± Anlicia chuckled: ¡°An octopus!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched: ¡°The octopus we¡¯ve been dragging along this whole way?¡± ¡°Ice Fruit!¡± Anlicia laughed: ¡°I suddenly realized an octopus is the easiest to morph into, its form is especially simple, even more regular with its symmetrical eight arms, far simpler than that oddly-shaped Skira! If I morph into an octopus, I¡¯ll save a lot of power! The energy I save might even help me break through!¡± Da Fei said with excitement: ¡°So that¡¯s it! Keep it up, I believe in you!¡± Truly a genius! This innovative ability is fantastic, but if she¡¯s working hard, then I have to put in effort too! My Sailing Skill has been stuck at Master level and hasn¡¯t advanced; if her new trick succeeds while she advances to God-level Arcane, could I also breakthrough to Grandmaster in one go? Wahaha, Grandmaster isn¡¯t too hard for me! In the afternoon, the fleet arrived near a small reef, and all the ships blew their horns. Bato said solemnly: ¡°We¡¯ve arrived! Look under the water.¡± Da Fei looked over the ship¡¯s railing and saw, faintly under the clear seawater, a shadow of a ship. It was fortunate that a sunken ship visible to the naked eye usually wasn¡¯t deep; salvaging it would certainly not be an issue. And with such a powerful fleet, especially with a massive battleship like the Flame Lord, defeating the octopus shouldn¡¯t be a problem either. The most crucial issue was getting it to surface. But¨C Da Fei cleared his throat and asked: ¡°General, what if we fail to drive away the octopus?¡± Bato was taken aback but then burst into laughter: ¡°Fail and we¡¯ll go whale hunting, you can¡¯t fail at whale hunting!¡± Damn! That¡¯s straightforward! Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°But, but if we don¡¯t help the General, how can we accept the General¡¯s assistance?¡± Bato waved his hand: ¡°First, our fleet has been frozen for ten months; we need to find a real target to train on and regain combat effectiveness. The whale pods are undoubtedly the best hypothetical enemy. Second, we¡¯re lacking food, and whale hunting could stockpile a large amount of food for the following year. Of course, all this is thanks to Mr. Spielberg; without his whaling ship, we can¡¯t catch whales. But don¡¯t worry, we¡¯ll buy it. So rather than me helping you, you¡¯re helping me!¡± Da Fei was left speechless on the spot! Dwarves are truly dwarves, so direct! But whether they buy it is none of my business! The one making money is Spielberg, not me! Unless he stays straightforward and gives me half the money! Hey, hey, hey! No! How can I think like that in the face of such noble dwarfs! Too dirty, too low-level! While feeling ashamed, Bato continued chuckling: ¡°Third, I want to be friends with you!¡± Friends! Damn! Could it be my enormous potential and value? In that brief moment, Da Fei was almost moved to tears! Da Fei cleared his throat: ¡°Gen-General, well, aren¡¯t we already friends?¡± Bato laughed, shook his head: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, you said you were sent by Duke Makar, so I had some reservations. I said, I dislike that person.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrows twitched! Did the dwarf also sense something off with Makar? Da Fei hurriedly said: ¡°I¡¯m just a subordinate running errands, the affairs between big figures aren¡¯t something I know. General, could you give me some guidance?¡± Bato shook his head with a chuckle: ¡°I¡¯m merely a minor major; I¡¯m not too clear on the matters between big figures. Liking is liking, and disliking is disliking!¡± This! Even a straightforward dwarf in a high position has its smooth side. Alright, I won¡¯t ask anymore; if I keep asking and get assigned an epic quest, it¡¯ll be a pain! Da Fei and Bato turned their eyes back to the sea. At this moment, Spielberg¡¯s whaling ship signaled and began organizing the other medium warships for a net formation. The four medium warships each held a corner of the net, ready for a large pocket formation. Anlicia chuckled: ¡°Captain, it¡¯s time for us to take action.¡± Da Fei nodded: ¡°Alright!¡± Bato waved his hand: ¡°Advance!¡± In an instant, the massive Flame Lord was rowing into the center of the pocket formation! Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped: ¡°No way, Anlicia! You¡¯re going to morph such a huge battleship into an octopus!?¡± Anlicia laughed heartily: ¡°Ice Fruit! I mentioned earlier that morphing into an octopus saves a substantial amount of energy, allowing me to concentrate entirely on transforming the ship!¡± Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°But! But your abilities only allow you to morph a medium ship, right? Even a larger ship is a struggle, how could it jump directly to a giant ship?¡± Anlicia pulled out a Divine Artifact Wand, her expression serious as she shook it: ¡°First, I believe if I constantly morph into Skira, I could advance to god-level, but when Skira encounters a bottleneck and I have to focus on the octopus, a problem arises. An octopus is at least two tiers lower than a demigod like Skira, meaning no matter how well I morph into it, I can¡¯t advance. So it must be compensated by the ship, meaning the ship I morph must be at least two tiers higher than a medium ship, requiring a giant ship!¡± Da Fei was stunned: ¡°Is that what you¡¯re thinking?¡± Anlicia chuckled: ¡°However, a giant ship is only possessed by the military, and commoners like us have no chance of boarding one. Now that we¡¯ve finally received the General¡¯s invitation, how can we let it slip? So no matter what, I must attempt it!¡± Bato chuckled: ¡°Miss, you can board my ship anytime!¡± Whoa! Crafty dwarf trying to tempt my wife with a giant ship! Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°But you must act within your means! You can¡¯t morph a giant ship!¡± Anlicia raised the Divine Artifact Wand seriously: ¡°If the magic isn¡¯t enough, we can use mana to sustain it. This wand still reserves 2600 mana points, nearly 20 times that of the Summoning Mist Magic. With such a vast mana reserve, it can definitely work!¡± Da Fei exclaimed: ¡°You¡¯ve tried it?¡± Anlicia frowned: ¡°Captain, are you out of your mind? If you try it, the wand¡¯s mana would be gone!¡± Ah, crap! Da Fei spat out old blood! Being scolded by my vice hero! Do I fail that hard? Bato also chuckled: ¡°Lieutenant, don¡¯t worry. Miss explained the principle of this skill to me. At the end of the day, the Lieutenant¡¯s task is hiding the people on board. Although I don¡¯t know the Phantom March, I can perform the ambush skill of the Reconnaissance Skill, which also serves to conceal troops, and I will lend a hand to the Lieutenant!¡± (Note: the ambush skill can hide all troops, but they cannot move.) Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only What? It turns out this improved version of Mysterious Stealth Navigation can include an additional skill? Darn! Learning has no end! With the Divine Artifact and support from a General-level person, maybe there really could be a breakthrough! Da Fei looked forward to it immensely: ¡°Alright! I¡¯ll trouble the General then!¡± Bato laughed heartily: ¡°No trouble. Rather than saying I¡¯m helping you, say you¡¯re helping me. I also want to take this opportunity to try advancing in skills!¡± Damn! I see, General, you¡¯re so straightforward! (Today there was a bit of family affairs, so it was updated more slowly) (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (wuxiaworld.site) to cast recommendation votes and monthly votes.

Chapter 249: Chapter 233: Advancement Successful, Salvage Failed! The giant ship finally sailed into the center of the pocket formation, with everything ready. Compared to Da Fei and Alicia, Bato was the most nervous and excited. For him now, the sunken treasure was no longer important since it couldn¡¯t run away, but the opportunity for skill advancement was truly rare. Looking at the increasingly tilted sky, Alicia said in a deep voice, ¡°We¡¯ll start at night. The night is advantageous for the execution of my skills, and we¡¯ve prepared three plans. One, if the transformation succeeds, it will either scare the sunken octopus away or lure it out to attack; either way, we¡¯ve achieved our goal. Two, if the transformation fails, our Flame Lord will light up all its lights. Spielberg mentioned that giant octopuses are attracted to light; medium and small ships sailing with lights on at night often become targets for their attacks, so that might also achieve our goal then. Three, if the transformation succeeds but the sunken octopus still doesn¡¯t come out, we¡¯ll turn on the ship¡¯s lights. I don¡¯t know if lighting up will affect the illusion, but we must try, regardless!¡± Da Fei and Bato nodded repeatedly. Yep, this kid talks quite methodically and theoretically. Having theory is good; practice without theoretical guidance is blind. The red sun dipped into the sea, and the entire Northern Ocean began to dim. Spielberg¡¯s whaling ship started sending countdown instructions, and the Flame Lord was also ready to light up at any moment. Alicia raised her magic wand and said in a deep voice, ¡°Start! Captain first, General second, me last!¡± Da Fei, already prepared and waiting, immediately activated his skill! ¡ª-System prompt: You have activated the God-level Reconnaissance Skill ¡°Phantom March¡±! ¡ª-System prompt: Captain Bato has activated the Master-level Reconnaissance Skill ¡°Ambush¡±! At this moment, the Divine Artifact Wand in Alicia¡¯s hand erupted with a brilliant blue light! In an instant, Da Fei¡¯s vision blurred again, and the image of the giant ship before him suddenly twisted and expanded! Da Fei¡¯s heart leaped into his throat as he stared intently at the information bar! ¡ª-System prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has cast an unknown Arcane Magic on the ship you are on! ¡ª-System prompt: You have combined to form a new unnamed skill! ¡ª-System prompt: Your Vice Hero Alicia has comprehended a new combined magic ¡°Giant Octopus Transformation¡±! It succeeded! They¡¯ve already named it! Ding dong! A crisp sound rang out as white light flashed over Da Fei and Bato, and Alicia was enveloped in a flash of golden light! ¡ª-System prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully combined to form the new skill ¡°Giant Octopus Transformation,¡± and you have comprehended Master-level Navigation Skill! ¡ª-System prompt: Congratulations! Your Vice Hero Alicia has comprehended God-level Arcane Magic! ¡ª-System prompt: Captain Bato has comprehended Grandmaster-level Reconnaissance Skill! ¡°What? I succeeded!¡± In that instant, Bato excitedly howled long into the sky! Da Fei, overwhelmed, cried tears of joy and embraced Alicia, who had no time to show any expression, tightly in his arms, rubbing and squeezing her with great enthusiasm. Only at this moment could Da Fei take advantage of his wife without any scruples. He advanced! Finally, he advanced smoothly! Within a day, I advanced three skills! Why am I so awesome? Because regular players can only wait for opportunities, but I can create opportunities! Why can I create opportunities? Because I keep progressing from one victory to another, always ahead of the times, step by step ahead! Haha! Mwahahaha¡­ ¡°Let go!¡± Alicia pushed Da Fei¡¯s greasy paws away in anger, shouting, ¡°You¡¯re blocking the magic wand from casting, stopping charging!¡± Da Fei reluctantly let go, ¡°Right, right! It just started.¡± At this moment, the Flame Lord had transformed into a giant octopus the size of a small island! Its monstrous size was akin to the legendary sea monster, Kleegen! Legend has it that Kleegen would disguise itself as a pearl-laden island reef in the ocean. When ships approached, its giant claws from under the water would suddenly explode out and drag the ships to the depths. Now, faced with the ¡°Kleegen,¡± sprawling and covering the entire area above the sunken ship waters, how would the sunken octopus respond? Everyone stared at the dark sea with bated breath! Seconds ticked by, but there was no movement on the water¡¯s surface. Is it sleeping in the sunken ship, unaware? Alicia said gravely, ¡°Running out of mana, Plan Three, turn on the lights!¡± Bato shouted, ¡°Turn on the lights!¡± The sailors, who had long been in standby, promptly lit the oil lamps in the reflective covers. In an instant, the entire ¡°Giant Octopus¡± became dazzlingly bright, like a sculptural lighthouse drifting on the Ice Ocean. Under the strange light and shadow effects, the whole seabed became a magnificent spectacle! ¡°Wow! Is this the God of Octopi?¡± Such a magnificent scene left the fleet¡¯s sailors in an uproar! And at that moment, a familiar red glow exploded on Da Fei¡¯s screen! ¡ª-System prompt: Reconnaissance Skill warning! A lurking formidable enemy near you is about to emerge! ¡°It¡¯s appeared!¡± A massive red dot sped toward Da Fei¡¯s mini-map! What the hell! Facing such a big octopus, it¡¯s not fleeing but actively engaging? Is it smart enough to see through my trick, or just too stupid to recognize its limits? Bato cheered, ¡°Prepare for battle!¡± Here it comes! Under the illumination of the lights, the sunken octopus soared up like a launched missile! It faced this much larger ¡°God of Octopi¡± with no fear! ¡ª-Jingle! The bells on the fishing net alarmed, it hit the net! It¡¯s going to collide! Going to hit the bottom of the ship! Bato shouted, ¡°Hold steady!¡± ¡ª-Boom! Eight jets of water shot up into the sky, and the Flame Lord¡¯s massive body shuddered violently, with the illusion vanishing! Eight towering arms, higher than the main mast, clutched the Flame Lord tightly! Despite being prepared, the dwarven warriors on standby aboard could not help gasping in shock! Although the sunken octopus wasn¡¯t as large as ¡°Kleegen,¡± it was unimaginably large for an ordinary person! Da Fei was also in shock, with his eyes wide open! Was he kidding! This was much bigger than the one I captured before! Spielberg let out a wild cry, ¡°Reel in the nets!¡± Bato shouted sharply, ¡°Fire at me!¡± In an instant, the Flame Lord¡¯s gun cabin, with its 40 gun ports on both sides, the four medium warships around, each with 8 gun ports on one side, and Spielberg¡¯s whaling cannon fired simultaneously! Bang! Bang! Bang! Under the pincer attack from all directions, the octopus¡¯s gigantic arms spurted blue blood like fountains, and the Flame Lord seemed to be splashed with blue paint in a flash! ¡ª-Creak! Boom! With a loud noise, the octopus, hurt by the onslaught, unleashed astonishing power, instantly breaking one of the Flame Lord¡¯s masts! Da Fei¡¯s eyes shrank in shock! Is this for real! This is a giant ship! Bato¡¯s face turned ashen, and he howled furiously, ¡°My ship! Hack it!!!!!¡± All at once, the cloaked War Axe dwarves emerged from the ship¡¯s sides, wielding massive axes to chop at the eight griping arms holding the battleship! ¡ª-Boom! With another loud noise, blue blood spattered while waves shot skyward, and the Flame Lord and four net-wielding medium warships shuddered violently, causing a barrage of crashing sounds on the sea surface! ¡°The net cords snapped!¡± Everyone was taken aback! And at that moment, the Giant Octopus retracted its massive claws, diving back to the depths in a tsunami of waves, escaping back to its sunken ship! Damn, it fled! The entire fleet was in an uproar. Da Fei was so stunned it took him a moment to recover! This Giant Octopus was not in the same league as the previous one! It was fortunate the bait was a giant ship; otherwise, a regular ship would¡¯ve been crushed on the spot! This salvage task was incredibly trickery, wasn¡¯t it? Now what? Given the cunning nature of octopuses, it suffered once and seemed injured. It certainly wouldn¡¯t fall for the trick again, would it? If it stubbornly guards its lair, nobody can do anything. Da Fei had no choice but to turn his head and clear his throat, ¡°Um, General, now¨Chuh?¡± He saw Bato¡¯s face dark, murmuring, ¡°It¡¯s been a year since I last saw it, and it grew so much stronger¡­¡± Da Fei asked, surprised, ¡°General?¡± Bato suddenly snapped back to reality, laughing heartily, ¡°Ah, no good, we failed again. But it¡¯s okay. It¡¯s injured, and just now, I think I saw it lose an arm while escaping tied to a whaling harpoon. Yes, it¡¯s the old trick of octopuses sacrificing limbs. Anyway, it¡¯s seriously hurt, so we¡¯ll get it for sure next year, hahaha!¡± Da Fei also laughed, ¡°Right, right, this time next year, I¡¯ll bring another shipment and assist General in the salvage again!¡± The General nodded solemnly, ¡°Lieutenant, next year, you must bring much more goods! Several times more than now!¡± Da Fei hesitated; several times more goods? Just what I wanted! He nodded and replied with a grin, ¡°Sure, sure! Absolutely, absolutely!¡± The General waved his hand around, ¡°Pack up, get ready for whaling! Deputy Officer, check the personnel, see if anyone¡¯s injured or, God forbid, shelled¡­¡± All at once, the ships¡¯ sailors and warriors began their busy activities with sighs of disappointment. Da Fei also sighed silently. What a pity, what a pity, I have been invincible all along, defeating gods and monsters alike, only to fail at the sunken ship! Alas, what a pity about the treasure in the sunken ship¨Coh? Da Fei was suddenly struck with a realization! The sunken treasure? What could the treasure be? Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only According to the game¡¯s wild monster guarding rules, different levels of wild monsters guard different levels of resources. The outdoor large map of the game refreshes wild monsters and resources randomly every week, which is every 17 hours, giving players the chance to level up and hunt for treasures. Ordinary food is guarded by Second-level Soldiers, common wood, stone, iron resources by Third-level Soldier Guards, crystals, mercury, gemstones, and small treasure chests by Level 4 and 5 Soldier Guards, C-level treasures guarded by Level 5 or 6 Soldiers plus dungeon bosses, whereas treasures above B-level drop only from instance bosses or mission bosses. And the sunken ship task Da Fei had been given, what tier would the Boss guarding the ship be? Isn¡¯t it obvious! Even if it wasn¡¯t DemiGod-level, it wouldn¡¯t be much less than that Skira clone! So the sunken ship treasure, needless to ask, must be a Divine Artifact! If it is a boss guarding a Divine Artifact, it wouldn¡¯t get scared away by an illusion after death! Da Fei realized! So, this was the clue given by the task! What have these dwarves been doing, salvage after salvage ending in failure every year? Lacking money to salvage treasure chests? What a joke! Soldiers use the country¡¯s funds; they lack nothing! A Divine Artifact! They must be salvaging a Divine Artifact! Damn, this salvage mission I got is truly low-profile luxury with substance, eh? In other words, when he asked me to bring several times more goods next time, he was actually hinting for me to bring more ships! Holy crap! Darned dwarfs, secretly salvaging a Divine Artifact behind my back, you take the lion¡¯s share and give me the crumbs! You aren¡¯t being straightforward! (To be continued.

Sure, here is the translated text: The battle ended in an instant, without even giving the crossbow cannon time to fire a second shot. Each side in this split-second skirmish suffered considerable losses. The fleet deputy officer reported the battle damage: 34 dwarf warriors were lightly injured, 2 were seriously injured, the flagship¡¯s main mast was broken, 13 oars snapped, the trawling sides of 4 medium auxiliary ships were broken, and two whaling nets were severely damaged. Our side¡¯s result was: the whaling spear managed to hook half an arm of the giant octopus trying to escape, and inflicted several bleeding wounds on its non-essential parts. Da Fei was filled with emotion. This was a high-level war between NPCs, one encounter determined the winner. If it were current-stage players against either side, they¡¯d surely be killed on the spot, right? Da Fei had to be thankful for always keeping a clear head, dodging when possible and scaring when needed, without rushing into battle. If he had to rely on his current strength, he couldn¡¯t even beat a Sea Monster. As for the Skira avatar, it was only because of Renior¡¯s unexpected presence, otherwise, his journey would have stopped right then, unable to even encounter Skira. If he had really stopped back then, where would this shipload worth millions come from? Where would the Divine Artifacts be? How could the God-level Grandmaster insights be achieved? Realizing the huge gap between his and NPC strength, Da Fei was eager to end everything here and return with the shipload to grow stronger. As for things like sunken ship Divine Artifacts, they were beyond contemplation at this stage. One or two strokes of luck did not mean strength; as the Gambling God said, the bigger one¡¯s appetite, the bigger the bowl needed, otherwise, the result would be like the Dwarf Billionaire, the higher the stand, the harder the fall. While reflecting, Spielberg also sailed over in a small boat, shaking his head and sighing, ¡°General, I¡¯m really sorry, my net couldn¡¯t stop it at all.¡± Bato laughed, ¡°No, no, it was our underestimation that caused you to lose two nets. We will definitely help you catch more whales to compensate for your loss.¡± Looking at the collapsed main mast of the Flame Lord, Spielberg sighed, ¡°General, your flagship suffered significant damage, this journey may not be suitable.¡± Bato waved his hand indifferently and laughed heartily, ¡°We dwarves always keep our promises. If we stopped fighting just because a mast broke, the Flame Lord would become a joke. How would it dare face big battles in the future?¡± Da Fei inwardly laughed, remembering whose face turned as red as a losing pig liver when the mast broke earlier? Wait a minute! Suddenly, Da Fei raised an eyebrow. His mast broke twice, and they said it couldn¡¯t be fixed. If their mast broke, what then? Send spare parts by domestic express in a year? Da Fei curiously asked, ¡°General, do you have a way to repair the mast? The giant ship is already slow, missing a mast would have a significant effect.¡± Seriously? Masts don¡¯t repair; once broken, they must be replaced; you can¡¯t stick them back with glue, can you? Bato frowned, ¡°There¡¯s a way, but it¡¯s very dangerous!¡± He immediately shook his head, ¡°Never mind, we¡¯ll manage with oars for now.¡± Very dangerous? Forget it, Da Fei immediately zipped his lips! He genuinely couldn¡¯t afford to play with these high-end NPCs. Just then, the deputy officer came to report, ¡°General, the fleet is all set, ready to depart.¡± Bato smiled at Spielberg, ¡°Sir, let¡¯s go! I¡¯m taking you to a place you wouldn¡¯t expect!¡± Spielberg smiled, ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll head back to my ship immediately.¡± ¡­ Now, the fleet adjusted course, heading north. Undoubtedly, north of Hero Continent was the North Pole, but players knew nothing about the North Pole, not even official information provided much. All that¡¯s known is that entering the Arctic Circle applied a polar chill DEBUFF, significantly slowing down player troops, depleting their Stamina, and once Stamina depleted, they lose health. It¡¯s terrifying. After all, it¡¯s a life-forbidden zone. Not only life but even ordinary Undead entering it could freeze their bones stiff. Basically, during open beta, players wouldn¡¯t even venture to the mysterious East, much less waste time freezing in the North Pole. But since Da Fei was here, he might as well treat it like a vacation. Yes, turn on the video at the time, and post it on the forums when bored to show off his high-end status; wahaha. At this moment, Anlicia sat on the ground, embracing her Magic Wand and meditating with a look of indulgence. Hmm, not bad, seems like she¡¯s reviewing her lessons and consolidating the God-level Magic achievements. She was indeed Da Fei¡¯s greatest achievement on this trip; wahaha! Da Fei didn¡¯t disturb her, merely opened the Equipment Bar in silence, checking the Vice Hero equipment, and found that the Divine Artifact Wand was out of Mana. This meant that the previous Transformation Skill casting instantly consumed 2600 Mana! Damn, 2600 Mana! Normally, it would require a hero with 260 knowledge! But how could such a hero exist? In the end, it was a result of her insufficient Magic Power. Magic Power affects a spell¡¯s potency and effectiveness and for some status magic, if Magic Power is insufficient to sustain, Mana can be added to maintain it. The additional Mana is usually more than double the required Mana Value for casting the spell. This means without this reserve of enormous Mana, Anlicia couldn¡¯t possibly comprehend God-level insights, let alone cast spells. A Divine Artifact indeed, it¡¯s a backup Mana reservoir. Da Fei truly stumbled upon treasure; wahaha! Wait a minute! Since Anlicia could advance through this Magic Wand, could Selvia also use it to advance? Haha! So that¡¯s it! Looks like Da Fei needed to find opportunities to kill on the seas to charge the Magic Wand. Oh, right, did the whaling count? Damn, it absolutely did! Even an octopus, which had no bones, counted, so a whale, full of spirit, was even more certain! So, hitching a ride on this whaling trip was indeed necessary! Otherwise, if Da Fei took on Sea Monsters himself, who knows what might happen! Wahaha! With this thought, Da Fei¡¯s frustration over the failed haul disappeared. While the fleet was sailing, Da Fei took the opportunity to take off his helmet and address basic needs quickly. When Da Fei returned online, the guild channel was buzzing. ¡°Brother Fei, Brother Fei! Something big happened!¡± Wow, wasn¡¯t it just some small ships sinking? What¡¯s the fuss? And what about Blood Sea Wave¡¯s thoughts? He didn¡¯t care, so why should Da Fei? Just ignore him. ¡°Is Brother Fei here? British players specifically named you!¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyebrow twitched. British players? When did he provoke international relations? Da Fei couldn¡¯t stay calm, replied in the guild channel: ¡°British players? Is there a player with this name?¡± Everyone laughed: ¡°Brother Fei truly is Brother Fei, always so humorous!¡± ¡°Brother Fei, just now there was earth-shattering news, the Royal Ark Team from the British Zone launched a super giant ship. They claimed that some China Region players shouldn¡¯t be complacent, clearly targeting Brother Fei!¡± ¡°The ship is insane, I¡¯ve heard it requires level 7 angel troops as sailors! It¡¯s crazily powerful!¡± ¡°I always thought Brother Fei was the most awesome globally, but there¡¯s actually someone even more awesome.¡± ¡°Just joking, the British must be cheating! Everyone knows they and the Americans are best buddies!¡± Da Fei had considered himself the number one expert in the China Region and even vaguely in the world, but suddenly discovering someone surpassing his own awesomeness was a mental blow he couldn¡¯t bear! This is a joke, it must be! Da Fei hastily said, ¡°Impossible! Current players can¡¯t have such a giant ship!¡± ¡°Brother Fei, you have a big ship yourself, a nation-backed studio plus cheats, a giant ship isn¡¯t surprising.¡± Damn you! You must be stimulating me deliberately, aren¡¯t you? It¡¯s Blood Sea Wave sending you to probe if my big ship is still around, right? I refuse to believe anyone can cheat stronger than me! Da Fei hurriedly logged onto the in-game forum; no need to search, the bold headline read, ¡°Video: British Zone¡¯s Super Giant Ship Noah¡¯s Ark Debuts, Powerfully Refreshes China Zone¡¯s Player Da Fei¡¯s Big Ship Record!¡± Damn, couldn¡¯t they just debut without dragging Da Fei along? Da Fei, both furious and upset, clicked on the post, opened the video, and saw a human Main City harbor, a giant ship lazing like an aircraft carrier parked far out in the bay, surrounded by numerous small boats preventing any players from approaching. There were no buildings, masts, or sails on its deck, only a tree! Yes, a tree! Damn! Is there a ship this ridiculous? A line of subtitles appeared: ¡ª-¡°Noah¡¯s Ark, a giant warship constructed from Divine Wood Gefei Wood, a God-level existence impossible for Mortal technology to build, and Mortal sailors can¡¯t pilot it, angels must man the ship. The Royal Ark Team¡¯s mission is to maintain fairness, justice, and peace in the game world using the Ark.¡± Da Fei¡¯s eyes nearly popped out! Fairness my ass! Even giant warships can¡¯t transport large combat units like the Jade Dragon, Angel, or Titan, yet this Ark needs angels as sailors! It¡¯s definitely an aircraft carrier! Not to mention how many gun cabins such a huge ship could hold! Oh right, what¡¯s with the tree? A Divine Tree? A Magic-Powered Divine Tree? No sails needed? Damn, this must be nuclear power! Too advanced and high-end! The video was just a minute long, but the shock Da Fei felt was immeasurable. If even Da Fei was shaken, there¡¯s no telling the extent of the amazed reactions from other players commenting! Oh right, where was the part where the British players said they were targeting Da Fei? It wasn¡¯t there! Didn¡¯t see it! Damn! Didn¡¯t need to see! Da Fei¡¯s very existence was ¡°unfair, unfair, unpeaceful,¡± this clearly aimed at him! Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Facing the noisy guild channel, Da Fei impatiently replied, ¡°Calm down! We haven¡¯t even entered the National War Zone; why panic? Stick with me, everyone will have big ships, we¡¯ll swarm and drown them!¡± Everyone cheered, ¡°Right, stick with Brother Fei, everyone gets a big ship.¡± Tch? Don¡¯t believe me? Believe that I¡¯d bring back the Octopus to blind you all? Da Fei¡¯s mood worsened: ¡°Stop overreacting, continue what you¡¯re doing, let those drinking gutter oil worry about the Imperial Capital.¡± ¡°Right, Brother Fei is correct¡­¡± Da Fei let out a long sigh, so he wasn¡¯t the most awesome. Although he had no intention of competing for the title of most awesome, getting kicked off the top spot felt really unsatisfying! (To be continued.

Chapter 251 - Chapter 251: Chapter 235: Do You Know About the Dragon Tomb? Chapter 251: Chapter 235: Do You Know About the Dragon Tomb? ¡°¡±¡± Da Fei was feeling annoyed when suddenly a message notification sounded. He looked at it ¡ª Dragon Scale, Chairman Ma Yinglong. Ma Yinglong got straight to the point, ¡°Brother Fei, the British just leaked a video of a giant ship. Have you seen it?¡± Sure enough, it¡¯s situations like these that would have bigwigs like you the most worried and sensitive, huh? Da Fei inwardly sighed and bitterly smiled, ¡°I¡¯ve seen it. The guild channel¡¯s blowing up.¡± Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, ¡°Brother Fei, don¡¯t use the guild to agitate me. I can¡¯t handle any more excitement.¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°How could that be? Chairman Ma is quite good at joking.¡± Ma Yinglong said seriously, ¡°I¡¯m not joking. The British have completely disrupted our development route with this thing. Especially since the UK and the United States are staunch allies who have always liked to target China, Brother Fei, you are their number one target. Our Dragon Slayers, being part of the Dark Alliance, are even more of a priority target. Our guild¡¯s future is rather bleak!¡± Whoa! Are you putting the hope of salvation on me? Who isn¡¯t worried, like me? Da Fei sighed, ¡°We have a lot of people in the China Region, one spit each and it¡¯ll drown them together.¡± Ma Yinglong laughed, ¡°That¡¯s right. We¡¯ll handle the manpower, but for high-level plays, we can only count on Brother Fei!¡± So straightforward! Count on me? Their high level is because the entire country is funding their team¡¯s expenses. Can you guys help me pay off my billion Gold Coin debt first? Da Fei bitterly smiled, ¡°No guarantees at all. Let¡¯s wait until we enter the National War Zone before talking. Maybe by then chairman Ma¡¯s guild will have a giant ship too.¡± Ma Yinglong bitterly laughed, ¡°Not hoping for a giant ship, just hoping for something to sink that giant ship. In any case, Brother Fei, hold steady!¡± Damn, if they have something to sink giant ships, then what chances does my big ship have? That kind of stuff mustn¡¯t exist! No sooner had he ended the conversation with Ma Yinglong than Da Fei¡¯s message notification sounded again. He already guessed who it was, and sure enough, it was the Goddess! Are you representing Star to inquire if I¡¯m feeling strained? I can honestly tell you, it hurts a lot! Don¡¯t believe it? Just feel it. Bu Feiyan laughed, ¡°Mr. Da Fei, the Brits rolled out a giant ship, and there¡¯s a British player claiming it¡¯s specially to deal with you. You¡¯re too formidable!¡± As if it needs saying? Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Not that formidable. I¡¯m just pondering what to do if I encounter this giant ship.¡± Bu Feiyan said solemnly, ¡°It¡¯s Mr. Da Fei who forced the Brits to change their original development route. They¡¯re paying the price for it, so even before the war starts, you¡¯ve won a round, at least representing our China Region. In any case, the opponent¡¯s Ark is not fully operational yet and needs to be towed by small boats, so currently, it¡¯s not a threat.¡± Da Fei exclaimed, ¡°What would it be like when fully operational?¡± Bu Feiyan said seriously, ¡°Don¡¯t you notice anything different about that ship compared to usual ones?¡± Da Fei cleared his throat, ¡°There are no sails and masts.¡± Bu Feiyan laughed, ¡°Exactly. Once they equip masts and sails, it¡¯ll be like giving wings to a tiger. Even flying might not be impossible. Our tech team analyzed it, and this giant ship must have been obtained through a super mission that requires them to complete tasks to gradually perfect it. Our goal is to try every means possible to interfere with their task progress and turn their giant ship into a burden. Also, the British have many competitors in the European Union Zone, who are natural allies to us. We¡¯ll find ways to strengthen our ties with them¡­¡± The Goddess was eloquently talking, and Da Fei was stunned! So the ship had masts and sails, and could fly? Whoa! Is this entering the Sky Battleship era already? Damn, how¡¯s a regular player like me supposed to keep up with this? Bu Feiyan concluded, ¡°That¡¯s all for our emergency response plan with Ninth Heaven. We¡¯ll slowly discuss the details later. I¡¯ve just given you a broad overview of our plan.¡± Da Fei felt his heart leap: ¡°Notifying me?¡± Damn, am I getting a VIP treatment now? Bu Feiyan laughed, ¡°Of course. As the world¡¯s top guild leader and the first to slay a Demigod, you are a pivotal figure in our China Region. Our plans should certainly be known to you!¡± Ha ha ha! A pivotal person! Indeed, the VIP treatment! This kind of praise from the Goddess feels tremendously good! I¡¯m not fighting alone, ha ha! Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something and asked, ¡°Right, since this giant ship is obtained by doing a super mission, can we in the China Region also develop this mission?¡± Bu Feiyan laughed and sighed, ¡°Of course not. Super missions above Epic Level are fair but unique. Before the British developed this mission, anyone from any region worldwide had the chance to trigger it. But once the British got there first, the other regions lost their chance.¡± Da Fei replied, ¡°I see.¡± Bu Feiyan laughed, ¡°Alright, Mr. Da Fei, take your time, and don¡¯t let external factors easily disrupt your development strategy.¡± Da Fei chuckled, ¡°Thank you, and by the way, just call me Da Fei from now on. ¡®Mr.¡¯ sounds a bit pretentious.¡± Bu Feiyan laughed, ¡°In that case, I might as well call you Brother Fei, like the others. Brother Fei? Any objections?¡± Da Fei was delighted, ¡°No objections, no objections, feels very intimate!¡± ¡°Ha ha, then I won¡¯t disturb Brother Fei any longer, goodbye.¡± ¡°Ha ha, goodbye, goodbye!¡± After ending the conversation with the Goddess, Da Fei felt a warmth surge in his heart. Being able to talk with the Goddess feels tremendously good! Suddenly Da Fei was startled! Speaking of which, I¡¯m already thirty, with assets in the game over tens of millions. Ordinary women don¡¯t really catch my eye anymore. Is there any possibility for me and the Goddess? Damn! Mere tens of millions? Even Hemorrhoid Ointment has assets over a hundred million! Thinking about his personal issues, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but sigh in dismay. What does it mean that money can¡¯t buy love? Seems like I¡¯ve reached that level too? Life, huh. But wait, if I stand higher and go further, what then? Yes! Doing other industries might be impossible, but at least in the game, my future still holds endless potential, and having assets over a hundred million isn¡¯t a dream! Da Fei felt a surge of excitement. As he was excitedly lost in thought, another message arrived. Da Fei looked ¡ª Invincible Soldier. Damn! Adding chaos! Do you think you¡¯re a chairman and a beauty who can make things happen and have the ability to console or worry about me? I want to scold you ¡®Get lost,¡¯ but it would appear that I¡¯m being snobbish. Oh well, inherently shallow, can¡¯t change this habit. Da Fei impatiently said, ¡°It¡¯s nothing, you all do whatever you need to do, just don¡¯t have the same poor reputation and stay stuck off the ship by the time I get back.¡± Invincible Soldier quickly said, ¡°Brother Fei, it¡¯s good that you¡¯re okay. We¡¯ve been farming reputation day and night recently and ended up getting a big mission. We¡¯ll report it to Brother Fei.¡± Da Fei was surprised, ¡°A big mission?¡± Invincible Soldier quickly said, ¡°Brother Fei, look at the screenshot!¡± ¡ª Chain Quest ¡°Trial of the Warrior¡±: Warrior, your contributions in Elorin City are clear to all; your reputation in Elorin City is growing daily. We believe you have the potential to be one of the kingdom¡¯s top ten youths, so we¡¯ve decided to conduct a long-term cultivation trial on you. We hope you overcome one difficulty after another to become the kingdom¡¯s finest youth. May the blessings of the Nature Goddess always be with you¡­ Da Fei was stunned, ¡°Whoa, a chain quest! You guys managed to get such a task!¡± A so-called chain quest means one task follows another, progressing from easy to difficult, with rewards granted for each completed segment. Completing the final task would yield unimaginable rewards. As mentioned earlier, normal players¡¯ ordinary heroes can level up through personal efforts, becoming God-level Heroes. This chain quest is one of those ways! Of course, the farther one progresses, the more difficult it becomes, but still far better than those with no way out. Da Bing quickly said, ¡°Yes, reporting to Brother Fei, so we can help Brother Fei in the future.¡± Good, very good! I am most pleased! Da Fei said contentedly, ¡°Great, keep it up!¡± Da Bing laughed, ¡°Sure, Brother Fei, take your time.¡± After ending the conversation with Da Bing, Da Fei felt deeply moved! It¡¯s one thing for the Brits to roll out a giant ship, but even two random people I brought in without second thought can take on a chain quest. They also have the chance to jump through the Dragon Gate ¨C what does this mean? It shows that the Hero Continent is full of opportunities! An inexplicable sense of urgency arose in Da Fei¡¯s mind. Although Da Fei¡¯s initial goal in entering the game was to make money and he was smug after earning two million, thinking he could just play casually and live a worry-free life thereafter. Perhaps it is indeed so. But people are like this¨Conce pushed to a certain height and acquired status, they are unwilling to be replaced. Yes, for people at this level, money is no longer the primary pursuit. If you¡¯re no longer the top expert, will the Goddess care about this ¡°infamous disgrace¡±? Da Fei felt urgency for his position as the top master. He must seize the current advantage, stand higher, and go further! Da Fei looked up at the Ice Ocean under the night sky with knitted brows when suddenly he noticed Bato beside him, also frowning with a face of sorrow. Damn! It¡¯s just about catching some whales, no need to be like this. It must still be about the ship¡¯s masts. Da Fei¡¯s heart skipped a beat when he said the solution for the masts was very dangerous? But he¡¯s in danger, not me! Within the entire fleet, I don¡¯t own a single ship, so even if the fleet is wiped out, it¡¯s their loss, not mine. Why should I be afraid? If worse comes to worst, I¡¯ll just die and respawn at Fire Dragon Island, sail the boat and take off! I¡¯m absolutely safe here! And based on the game¡¯s logic, it¡¯s bound to trigger some story mission, right? The mast worth a mission must not be something ordinary from the shipyard, right? Yes, to contend against the British God-level Battleship, I must also step up! Da Fei promptly asked, ¡°General, I¡¯m very interested in the solution to the masts you mentioned earlier. Do you need any help from me?¡± As expected, Bato¡¯s eyebrows twitched, ¡°Are you sure you want to help?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei nodded, ¡°The general has helped me so much, I should reciprocate.¡± Bato¡¯s spirit lifted, and his beard shivered, ¡°Do you know about the Dragon Tomb?¡± Da Fei was stunned, ¡°Dragon Tomb?¡± Bato said seriously, ¡°Aging giant dragons, before dying, will use their last strength to fly to treacherous lands unreachable by mortals for eternal rest!¡± (To be continued.

Could there really be a Dragon Tomb in the Arctic? Da Fei was shocked and asked, ¡°General, do you mean that there are shipbuilding materials in the Dragon Tomb to replace the mast?¡± Bato laughed heartily and said, ¡°A dragon¡¯s bones, of course!¡± Then he added solemnly, ¡°Do not think that the dragons in the Dragon Tomb are on the same level as those young dragons in the Elf Kingdom. Those young dragons are like tadpoles in a pond, very few reach adulthood, and even fewer live to die of old age! You cannot imagine how massive a real giant dragon is¨Cthey are relics of the ancient mythological era. After the dragons waged war with the Titans in the mythological era, giant dragons have rarely appeared in our world, but there are still a few. For example, a hundred years ago, an old giant dragon swept over our Fire Dragon Island. When it flew over, it seemed to obscure the entire island with its massive size!¡± Seeing the shock and fear on his face, Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but nod along. However, Major, I know dwarves have long lifespans. Could it be you were already a major a hundred years ago? You haven¡¯t been promoted in a century? Bato became more and more excited as he spoke, ¡°At that time, the sea around Fire Dragon Island was frozen. Our warriors chased the dragon north on sleds. We knew it was heading to the Dragon Tomb, hoping to find the tomb¡¯s location through it. Legend has it the Dragon Tomb contains the lifetime treasures of many giant dragons¨C¡± What? Locate the Dragon Tomb? Da Fei quickly asked, ¡°So the General doesn¡¯t know the location of the Dragon Tomb?¡± Bato¡¯s beard twitched, ¡°Of course not! That is a place mortals cannot reach! We only know from ancient myths that old dragons have this habit, much like elephants¨Canyway, as our warriors chased north and could no longer withstand the polar cold, forcing them to give up, an unexpected event occurred. The old dragon finally couldn¡¯t fly and fell from the sky, crashing through the ice and into the sea!¡± Da Fei suddenly realized, ¡°So, we can salvage the giant dragon¡¯s skeleton?¡± Bato excitedly said, ¡°Exactly! This way, our salvage fleet won¡¯t return empty-handed! Do you know what the large beam at the bottom of a big ship is called? It¡¯s called the ¡®dragon bone¡¯! It¡¯s incredibly sturdy and wouldn¡¯t be broken even by an octopus. Dragons are flying creatures, so their bones are hollow and lightweight, ideal for shipbuilding. Most importantly, the older the dragon, the more magical its bones are. Engraving magic runes or arrays on the dragon bone is like having a magic tower attached to the ship. Dragon bones are invaluable strategic treasures! Opportunities like these are incredibly rare!¡± Holy moly! This dwarf general is truly the kingpin of the area! He knows about the shipwreck divine artifacts, Viking Undead, giant dragon skeletons! It¡¯s genuinely a high-up connection to have made with him! Da Fei excitedly asked, ¡°What dangers might we encounter?¡± Bato replied seriously, ¡°A giant dragon is a treasure trove, and when it falls into the sea, it will surely attract Sea Monsters to feast on its flesh. It¡¯s easy to imagine how powerful those monsters would become after devouring dragon flesh. So, I have two plans. One is to pray the Sea Monsters depart after eating, leaving only some ordinary monsters attracted by the dragon¡¯s magic, which we can handle. The other plan, if the big Sea Monster is still there, is to hope you can use your illusions to lure it away so we can salvage quickly. For Miss Anwen, who has mastered God-level Magic, this shouldn¡¯t be a technical issue.¡± Da Fei raised a brow, lure away Sea Monsters? Back at the Abyss Blood Pool, Grandma Anwen performed a moving illusion army, didn¡¯t she? Maybe it could work! It¡¯s worth a shot regardless! Da Fei hurriedly said, ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll definitely help with that!¡± Bato laughed heartily, ¡°Whether this succeeds or not, Lieutenant, you¡¯ve made a friend in me!¡± Whoa, what have I done to deserve this? It¡¯s just because you saw my wife and decided to be friends, isn¡¯t it? ¨CSystem Prompt: You have accepted the mission ¡°Salvage Ice Ocean Dragon Bone!¡± ¨CTask Hint: Salvaging in the Ice Ocean is exceptionally difficult. Sea Monsters and frozen seawater are challenges you must face. A mission indeed! I¡¯ve already accepted two salvage missions! This dwarf is truly obsessed with salvaging! Well, in the maritime field, dwarves may fall short, but they are tenacious and robust. Their divers can reach depths humans and elves cannot. With their natural obsession with treasure, salvaging is truly their specialty! Alright, since I¡¯m with a professional team, I must seize this opportunity. Even if I fail to salvage the shipwreck divine artifact, I have to get this dragon bone! Da Fei asked again, ¡°When do we set out?¡± Bato laughed heartily, ¡°Of course, after we¡¯ve caught the whales! Whale meat can be used to attract Sea Monsters!¡± Da Fei was impressed! Despite appearing like a carefree, beer-bellied dwarf, his intelligence was actually all there! This NPC¡¯s intellect was on par with Anwen¡¯s! If Anwen taught players how to use arcane magic, then he was undoubtedly teaching players how to salvage! Now, Bato hastily gathered the flat cargo ships of the salvage crew for a meeting, and Da Fei, of course, gathered the deputy officers, including his wife, for the meeting as well. Wait, Coltner is here too? Whoa, I¡¯ve been ignoring him the whole time! Well, I guess I just naturally filter out males. This could be a bit troublesome¨Cif the fleet is entirely wiped out, and he goes down with it, it could cause quite the mess for me! . . . The dawn broke with a red sky. The sea was full of floating ice, stretching into a vast expanse as the fleet almost entered the Arctic. When Da Fei stepped out of the cockpit, a blast of cold wind hit him, making his face feel like it was being cut by knives! -1! Damn! It really was knife-like and did cause damage! It¡¯s imaginable that without the incredibly sturdy dwarf sailors, how could ordinary crew members, like those hired at Harbor House for 70 Gold Coins, survive here? And this wasn¡¯t even the Arctic Circle yet! What kind of harshness would we face upon reaching the Arctic Circle to salvage the dragon bone? The greatest challenge of the Arctic wasn¡¯t just the Sea Monsters! Bato pointed to the reddish horizon and said, ¡°From now on, it¡¯s polar day here, meaning half a year of daylight, then half a year of darkness. It¡¯s still summer, so it¡¯s polar day and the ice is beginning to thaw, creating the best opportunity for our operation. If we can¡¯t seize this opportunity, then it¡¯s waiting until next year.¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly, ¡°I see, but by next year, I assure you, my strength will be greater, and I will surely succeed.¡± Bato chuckled, ¡°The situation in the Northern Ocean is unpredictable, so it¡¯s best to resolve what can be resolved this year.¡± Damn, trying to trick me into an annoying task again! Da Fei immediately shut his mouth! Though I¡¯m committed to overcoming challenges, creating problems to tackle them is different when it comes to riskless salvage tasks for me. My principles remain intact. Bato pointed to a large lake encased in ice in the distance, ¡°There¡¯s an underwater volcano there, so the sea there stays warm and unfrozen year-round. The warm water attracts tons of fish and shrimp, drawing in vast numbers of whales. We¡¯ve named that place Whale Lake!¡± Holy crap! So, that¡¯s the surprising location he mentioned last night? Doesn¡¯t it turn into a fishery? It turns out the Arctic, this godforsaken place, has such depth! It¡¯s been a century as a major for him, and it¡¯s truly been a worthwhile trip for me! Da Fei hurriedly asked, ¡°But there¡¯s still ice around the lake. How do we get there?¡± Bato patted the side of the ship and laughed heartily, ¡°Our Flame Lord is the surface overlord of the Ice Ocean. How can little floating ice stop us?¡± Da Fei suddenly realized, ¡°So, the General¡¯s Flame Lord has a special ice-breaking ram!¡± Bato said proudly, ¡°Exactly! But it only works with ice at this time of year!¡± Then, with a wave of his hand, the fleet¡¯s horns blared one after another. Then, the fleet formed a long snake-like line and closely followed behind the giant ship. Bato shouted, ¡°Prepare for the charge!¡± Drums pounded on the giant ship, shouts rang out, oars clashed in unison, and the giant ship suddenly accelerated, slicing like a sharp knife towards the ice ahead! ¡°Hold steady!¡± ¨CBoom! The ship shook violently, and with a thunderous roar, the ice was cleaved open, creating a crack over a hundred meters long! Da Fei¡¯s eyes narrowed in shock. This was the force of the giant oar ship! If a regular warship got rammed like that, it would be instantly obliterated! But alas, its opponents were Sea Monsters! It¡¯s truly an absurd situation. Bato said gravely, ¡°Breaking ice puts extremely high demands on the stamina and strength of the oarsmen. If the oarsmen run out of stamina, we¡¯ll be trapped in the ice, and the ice¡¯s crushing force can easily destroy any ship. So, coming here requires both a tremendously strong ship and absolutely formidable sailors!¡± Da Fei nodded repeatedly in astonishment! This was the Arctic. Even though I¡¯m well-practiced, I couldn¡¯t rely on my own strength to reach here at this stage. But wait, the highest-level sailors I¡¯ve hired at Harbor House are those Level 4 skilled gunners, but those 40 HP sailors are on a totally different level compared to the General¡¯s warriors! The General¡¯s Dwarf Warriors are at least elite tier! In other words, even if a player had an icebreaker, without a fully staffed elite sailor crew, reaching this place is still impossible! And with a fully staffed elite crew, the Command Power needed would be astronomical! High-level! Only now did Da Fei realize the dwarf general was showcasing high-level tactics! The height of NPC forces was truly a lofty existence for players. Moreover, this was just the ability of an island-bound major. Imagine what a major force like the Elf Kingdom could be like. How could my bothersome Chamber of Commerce revival quest stand up against the Kingdom forces to reclaim the Divine Artifact and rescue the Mermaid Priestess? Indeed, Makar was right. The closer you get to the gods, the more insignificant you feel. Speaking of which, to what height has Makar reached? It¡¯s unimaginable! Epic Quests are indeed a hassle! I can¡¯t get cocky just because I completed small-scale epic quests like the Pool of Radiance at the Blood Sea Kindergarten, limited to Level 30. In the face of the Flame Lord¡¯s tremendous force, the ice looked like a sheet of white paper being ripped continuously; the fleet steadily advanced until, at last, a vast, steaming lake came into view. The water churned, and geysers burst forth; Bato chuckled, ¡°Those are killer whales! But they¡¯re not worth much!¡± Da Fei was shocked and nodded, ¡°Oh, oh!¡± Bato pointed to the side and sighed with a smile, ¡°That¡¯s a sperm whale! The natural enemy of octopus sea monsters! We thought about using them to deal with octopi, but unfortunately, we lack the strength! Sperm whale¡¯s ambergris is very valuable!¡± Da Fei continued nodding. This place was completely a whale pasture! Catching whales here was like farming, not needing the speed of whaling ships chasing them! Bato pointed towards the glittering silver water surface in the distance, ¡°As for the truly valuable quarry, that¡¯s what Mr. Spielberg is looking for, the narwhal! I¡¯ve heard every mature whale horn can sell for over tens of thousands of gold coins!¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Da Fei was astounded, nodding repeatedly! How much money could be made on this trip! Bato laughed heartily, ¡°Do you see that horn shining with gold over there? That¡¯s the Narwhal King! Its horn¡¯s value is beyond measure!¡± A BOSS-level whale! Da Fei¡¯s heart surged, ¡°Then, General?¡± Bato laughed heartily, ¡°Of course, we¡¯re going to deal with it! With my Flame Lord escorting us and your Divine Skill sneak attacks, this cunning, fierce creature stands no chance against us! That¡¯s why I brought you here!¡± Da Fei exclaimed in sheer joy, ¡°Great! Let¡¯s go for it!¡± (To be continued.

Chapter 253 - Chapter 253: Chapter 237 Capturing the Narwhal King Chapter 253: Chapter 237 Capturing the Narwhal King For the whale hunting industry, the most difficult whales to catch are of two types. One is the blue whale, renowned as the largest ocean creature. In the game, a surfaced blue whale is completely like an island, such as the giant whale ridden by the Mermaid Saint that day. The immense size and power of the blue whale are enough to crush all vessels. The other type is the narwhal, perhaps the smallest of whales, comparable in size to an adult shark but is the fastest, most ferocious, and most agile whale. Its valuable horn makes every whale hunter yearn in their dreams, but large whale hunting ships can¡¯t catch up to it, and medium-sized ships can¡¯t defeat it; moreover, it only appears in the harsh North Pole. Successfully capturing a narwhal requires perseverance and even more so, luck. Now, facing various types of whales in this whale farm, especially the long-desired narwhal, Spielberg was thrilled! He trembled! When facing a pod of whales like narwhals, initiating a battle could result in two outcomes: first, the whales might scatter explosively. Therefore, don¡¯t think about netting them all at once; catching one would be considered very good, and without doubt, the target would, of course, be the Golden Horned Monoceros King. The second scenario: the pod attacks together! This is considerably dangerous! Among all whales, blue whales and narwhals are the most deadly to ships. It goes without saying for the blue whale, and the narwhal¡¯s horn is equivalent to a submarine with a battering ram installed. And if trying to capture the Whale King, there is a high possibility of being attacked by the group, thus fleet escort is necessary. Of course, whale hunting also has the most important and difficult premise: being able to approach it. If the whale flees before you can approach, then forget about it. Especially the Narwhal King, its vigilance is absolutely beyond ordinary narwhals. Now, Da Fei, Catherine, and Anlicia boarded Spielberg¡¯s whaling ship, ready to display their Divine Skills. Although Da Fei can handle dual roles, at such critical moments, teamwork is best. If even Divine Skills can¡¯t get close, then no one in the world can capture the Whale King. It was Catherine and Anlicia¡¯s first time on Spielberg¡¯s ship. Upon boarding, Anlicia wrinkled her nose: ¡°What a strong smell of blood!¡± Da Fei couldn¡¯t help but be startled. Is there? Apart from feeling a bit oppressive, I think it¡¯s alright? Spielberg was also astonished: ¡°This, I haven¡¯t caught any whales for a long time now, could it be the smell of that octopus?¡± Catherine also sniffed and then chuckled knowingly: ¡°It¡¯s not a smell of blood, but a murderous aura!¡± ¡°Murderous aura?¡± The three people present were suddenly stunned. Da Fei instantly was taken aback! What the hell! There¡¯s no such thing as a murderous aura in the game¡¯s indicators! Spielberg said surprised: ¡°Miss means to say, has my ship, from hunting whales so often, accumulated a murderous aura?¡± Catherine nodded gravely: ¡°What¡¯s the difference between a knife that has killed a lot and a new knife? Many people can subconsciously discern the difference, but just can¡¯t explain why. Actually, this is the murderous aura. It isn¡¯t something that can be perceived through ordinary senses like sight, taste, etc., but through intuition! It¡¯s something discerned by the sixth sense!¡± Everyone was astonished: ¡°Sixth sense!¡± Da Fei¡¯s jaw dropped! Is this the rhythm of advancing to a Golden Saint? Oh wait, the game indeed has something like intuition, such as the ¡®Treasure Intuition¡¯ sub-skill under the Luck Skill, which supposedly increases the success chance of treasure hunting by just a little bit. Catherine laughed: ¡°Yes, just like no one can clearly say what murderous aura or sixth sense is, but those battle-hardened warriors, experienced thieves always unconsciously make the right judgments!¡± Anlicia laughed heartily: ¡°That¡¯s to say, my sixth sense must be very sharp then! I¡¯ve always thought so since I was young.¡± Damn, I thought it was her sharp nose! Da Fei hastily chuckled: ¡°That¡¯s right, we all have high hopes for you.¡± Catherine then asked: ¡°By the way, Mr. Spielberg, hasn¡¯t it been a long time since you¡¯ve caught any whales?¡± Spielberg was astounded: ¡°Miss, how do you know?¡± Read latest Chapters at WuxiaWorld.Site Only Anlicia chuckled: ¡°You just said it yourself!¡± Spielberg sighed deeply: ¡°Indeed, I was once the most famous whale hunter in the Lionheart Empire¡¯s Newpast City. Every time I went to sea, I would return fully loaded. But a few years ago, I began to have bad luck; I couldn¡¯t catch a single whale. I suspected there was something wrong with my technique. I visited many colleagues, consulted many priests, and I certainly prayed at the Luck Goddess Altar and at every Sea God Temple in every city, but it was all useless! So I had no choice but to leave my hometown and come to the Elf Kingdom, hoping for a change of luck, but it still didn¡¯t work! Over these years, my savings have almost run out, and it¡¯s nearly impossible to maintain my whaling ship.¡± So, this is the background information of this whale hunter! Talking about accompanying him all this way, this is the first time he¡¯s bared his heart! Am I supposed to trigger some quest now? No no, maybe I just haven¡¯t spoken to him much. After all, I¡¯m not interested in men. However, for him to be so down and out and still split the octopus selling money with me, this man is upright! Such righteous people can only be found among NPCs in the game; if it was a player, they¡¯d probably screw things up! Catherine laughed heartily: ¡°I think it¡¯s none of those! The problem must be with your ship!¡±
