Chapter 1386: Chapter 1290: Dark Natural Ecosystem
The interference of the Phoenix Feather once again made Japan the laughing stock of the world, with the Mitsubishi Team being criticized by players across Japan, and even the senior management of the team’s investor, the Mitsubishi Consortium, expressing dissatisfaction.
If facing ordinary players’ accusations, the Mitsubishi Team could withstand it by using a ’mask’ as a reinforced face, but they could no longer sit idle in the face of the fury of higher-ups who could disband the team with a single word. After all, Da Fei had a high-tech giant ship, and losing to him was somewhat understandable, but losing to the solitary Phoenix Feather was utterly unforgivable.
Thus, prompted by the information publicly shared by the Italian player Mario from Red Name Village, the Mitsubishi Team immediately launched a nationwide hunt for the Phoenix Feather. After all, Phoenix Feather was a player participating in the national war; with his current sin value, being taken down would mean direct elimination, either being sent back to Red Name Village or directly to the Alliance Prison for a treatment similar to a permanent ban!
In short, the Mitsubishi Team would not launch a massive crowd-based operation until the Phoenix Feather was found and taken down. Therefore, the Farina’s support plan by Sly God also had to be postponed.
...
At this moment, in the abandoned battlefield trench outside the No. 3 Ancient Tree Wall City, a Phoenix Feather, whose name was red and dark purple, was deeply indulged in the video clicks surpassing a million. Supreme honor, a massive slaughter value, success was actually this simple! However, to prepare for today’s success, Phoenix Feather had been preparing since the public beta, enduring the unimaginable boredom and loneliness that ordinary players could not bear.
This is a god-slayer road, a road to break through, either reaching the pinnacle to become a god or being caught by NPC city management and spending a lifetime in prison. Phoenix Feather chose the former!
Territory building? Beautiful vice heroes? Advanced warships? Looking at all the information about Da Fei on the forum, Phoenix Feather snorted disdainfully: Compared to the absolute power of becoming a god-slayer, these external possessions are a waste of focus and time, useless crap! Da Fei, just wait, your last sensational world headline will be territories destroyed one by one by me, warships blown away, and there will be no more after that!
At this moment, Phoenix Feather was filled with immense optimism for the beautiful vision of becoming a god in the future! As for now, it was certainly about waiting for the next big wave of killings. As for how to evade the nationwide hunt by Japanese players, it was very simple, just find a hidden place to log off. As long as the national war hasn’t ended, even hiding offline for a few days in a row will be fine. After all, Phoenix Feather had already profited immensely; every additional kill from now would be a bonus.
As for whether the Japanese players would make the same mistake again? Looking at the Mitsubishi Team’s main force being guarded at the resurrection point by Da Fei three times in a row, unquestionably, they would! The Japanese are a race that knows how to reflect but doesn’t correct their mistakes; in this regard, Phoenix Feather also had great confidence in the Japanese.
So, to maintain energy and patience, after browsing the forum, a happily satisfied Phoenix Feather went offline to catch up on sleep and prepare for an all-nighter. However, being this excited definitely meant sleeplessness, so better to eat dinner early and drink a few more glasses of wine.
...
At this moment, Da Fei felt uneasy in the mine; having an enemy grow stronger would make anyone uncomfortable, and Da Fei was vaguely sensing a threat. However, compared to the threat from players, Da Fei now faced the threat of over a hundred thousand Demon Army.
It was already 4 PM Beijing Time, and the Hell Army’s cannon fodder offensive had persisted for almost an hour. If it were an ordinary player’s troops, an hour of continuous hacking would have exhausted their stamina. But Da Fei, as a Master-level Minstrel, had an all-army stamina recovery speed of +50%, with the Basic Transporter providing an extra 5% stamina increase, on top of Power Angel’s stamina recovery skill and some Divine Artifact recovery special skills, plus a reasonable troop rotation, there was still no sign of fatigue so far.
Honestly, even Da Fei himself didn’t know he could be this enduring. Ultimately, Da Fei needed to continue recognizing himself in battles; what he did before wasn’t quite enough.
Just then, Tamilia arrived gleefully to report, and Da Fei could already guess that she was likely to say that the number of Evil Demons had reached the 700 mark! Was it quick? Of course not! Consuming such high-end mines and struggling to produce even a Level 0 soldier was still too slow for the man!
Sure enough, Taliya said excitedly, "Lord City Lord, I have two pieces of good news for you: the number of Evil Demons has reached 700! As for the other good news, my lord can absolutely not imagine, which is that there’s soil on the lake shore of the Holy Vine Center Village, presumably formed by the lake water digesting the slag! As long as there’s soil, our Holy Vine Space has taken the first step towards an ecosystem, gradually evolving into a world like the World Tree Space!"
Soil? Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, he hadn’t expected this! Indeed, neither the previous Holy Vine Center Village nor Sain’s Lamp God Space had soil. These player-created internal instance spaces resembled the most basic and empty drafts of a game programmer, completely devoid of anything!
The Lamp God Space was just a void of darkness. Previously, the Holy Vine Center Village was simply a giant glass aquarium, and Da Fei hadn’t given any thought to the material of the ground, these seemingly super trivial concerns.
Da Fei, already drowsy from the demon race’s tedious assaults, could no longer remain calm: "I’m going to take a look!"
"Alright, my lord!"
As soon as Da Fei entered the center village, his vision darkened, and then there was a flash of black light on the radar!
—System Prompt: Your Dark Spirit Technique has detected thin Dark Natural Power around you. Would you like to use the Dark Spirit Technique for absorption?
Looking at the faint black mist enveloping the space, Da Fei couldn’t help but exclaim, "Dark Natural Power!?"
The surprised voice of the third elder also echoed, "The warrior can actually sense Dark Natural Power?"
Da Fei laughed and said, "Hmm, I don’t know how, but this space is full, though not much."
The three elders glanced at each other and then exclaimed, "As expected of a warrior, even though we consider ourselves to have not low cultivation, we only just sensed a slight unusual anomaly in the space. But as soon as you came in, you felt it. It can only be described as an extraordinary talent!"
Damn! So these Great Druids aren’t as impressive as me after all? Well, let them keep thinking I’m amazing, and keep following me devotedly.
Da Fei laughed and said, "Actually, this mine space is full of Dark Natural Power."
The third elder suddenly realized, "I see, this must be what makes the Obsidian Mine extraordinary. Warrior, first of all, congratulations, your village already has an ecological system with the Holy Vine as its core, using lake water as a container, capable of self-producing Dark Natural Power! Although Dark Natural Power is not a domain we understand, precisely because of its rarity, it is all the more valuable."
Da Fei said in surprise, "What does a self-growing ecological system of Dark Natural Power mean?"
The third elder laughed and said, "Of course, it’s just as it sounds. It’s like building an oasis in the desert. When that oasis can survive on its own completely, an ecological system capable of self-producing power of nature is established."
Da Fei suddenly understood, so that’s how it is! The so-called power of nature is just a term in the game. If explained with real-world technology, it means being able to produce oxygen, moisture, and strictly control carbon dioxide, enabling space cities and moon bases and the like to truly be realized. Currently, even the United States, capable of creating such a high-tech game, can’t achieve such an ecological system. It shows that this is truly a divine masterpiece, incomparable to ordinary greenhouses.
If that’s the case, this nascent ecological system must be well protected and maintained for its ecological balance now. Absorbing its energy is absolutely out of the question.
Da Fei decisively canceled the absorption prompt of the necklace.
Tamilia laughed and said, "Lord City Lord, according to the transplanting rules for vines, planting in soil will definitely grow faster and better than soaking in lake water as before. May I ask if the Unicorn Flower Vine and Grape Vine should be transplanted into the soil on the lakeshore?"
That’s right, what grows in the water is called bean sprouts, and they won’t amount to much! Da Fei laughed and said, "Of course, you’re more proficient in planting than me. Plant them as you see fit."
"Yes, Lord City Lord!"
The third elder laughed and said, "As far as we know, usually mushrooms and moss are nourished by Dark Natural Power. It is truly exciting to witness other plants cultivated using Dark Natural Power here!"
Indeed, only an ecological system of Dark Natural Power matches with evil demons and Holy Vine! Da Fei chuckled and said, "We’re also exploring, but we still need the three elders to guide us repeatedly."
The third elder laughed and said, "I wouldn’t dare. In this aspect, we’re also just beginners."
"You’re too modest, elder!"
While joking around, Anlicia’s voice came from outside the space: "Lord City Lord, the Hell Army has officially launched their attack!"
At the same time, the voice of the Nasir Ancient Tree came from the cargo space, "Nasir smells a lot of Demon Flesh’s aura, Nasir can’t bear it anymore!"
Da Fei let out a breath of relief, finally some meat to eat, nothing more to say, let Nasir take the lead and fill him up first while giving other troops time to rest and regroup!
The next moment, as the Holy Vine Cargo Space Gate opened, Nasir’s huge body thunderously landed, and then strode towards the hell torrent rolling through the passage!
—Boom! With a loud crash, under Nasir’s trampling special skill, dozens to hundreds of Horned Demons fell to the ground. Nasir’s massive body, like a Gate God, shattered the hell torrent into streams of blood and flesh, while over twenty parasitic vines on it eagerly began to absorb and grab at the flesh underfoot!
Da Fei was extremely satisfied! I have to say, these Hell NPCs know how to play. At the beginning, they deployed cannon fodder, allowing me to leisurely mine and cultivate a mining team of over 700 people. Now they start dispatching meat gradually, I can’t even imagine how well-fed I’d be by the time the final battle comes! Wahahaha!
