Chapter 1428: Chapter 1327: Finding the River Leading to the Alliance
Mitsubishi Team Command Center. On the wall’s large screen is a pitch-black underground, a blazing campfire, and charming, hearty laughter coming from the fire.
Farina approached the wandering hero Glaure very smoothly, which made all team members infinitely hopeful. As long as they can recruit a General Level hero, the new village construction will undoubtedly have huge security.
However, in the minds of these Japanese players, for a weaker Banshee Hero to recruit a stronger male hero, according to real-world logic, there must be something that happens. It’s just unknown if such things happen in the game, which makes the players even more expectant. From time to time, a group of players secretly let out various lewd laughter.
At this moment, Sly God’s heart is a mix of emotions. According to the game’s rules, a player’s Vice Hero cannot continue to recruit their own Vice Hero. So conversely, once Farina succeeds in recruiting Glaure as her Vice Hero, she can’t become the player’s Vice Hero.
Then they can only settle for her becoming their follower. However, having a Vice Hero almost makes Farina the leader of a force, or equivalent to an NPC village chief, making it extremely difficult for her to become a follower. Then they can only step back further, maintaining a friendly cooperation.
This unstable relationship makes Sly God very uncomfortable; he needs absolute possession, absolute control.
However, despite the entanglement over Farina’s situation, successfully involving her in Lamiya’s village building process means as long as Farina improves her ability, it will be beneficial for solving Lamiya’s issue. Though not perfect, Sly God can only focus on the higher status, perhaps stronger Lamiya.
Just then, the campfire had new developments: Farina laughed charmingly, soaring into the sky, while the hero laughingly leaped up on a hound, chasing after Farina’s direction.
The Mitsubishi team burst into cheers: "Succeeded!?" "Succeeded without anything happening?" "So disappointing!"
Sly God, mixing joy and surprise, immediately gave orders: "I’m returning to the city now, all of you go forth—better let Captain Tsukamoto come!" With that, Sly God couldn’t wait to find a crack in the ground, jumping into it and dying to return to the city.
"A true veteran!" Tsukamoto exclaimed excitedly: "Now that the wandering hero has opened a path, all team members continue pursuing!"
A team member asked: "Captain, we’ve stayed here for so long, the battlefield’s footprints have already been erased by the system."
Tsukamoto angrily replied: "Baka, your task is to explore deeply, unrelated to footprints. Even if you die, it’s convenient for returning to the city."
"Ah, understood."
Just then, three team members guarding the Banshee’s village site excitedly shouted: "I see it! I see the wood!" "I see wood drifting downstream!"
The entire Mitsubishi Command Center rose in excitement: "So fast!"
Tsukamoto and Sly God were even more thrilled shouting: "Which river?"
A team member raised the wood piece, shouting: "River number 7! The mark carved reads river number 7!"
At this moment, applause thundered and cheers erupted at the Mitsubishi Command Center!
Sly God, crying in excitement: "Great news, we found the Bright Alliance’s passageway! Now, Da Fei is no longer a threat!"
Tsukamoto yelled in joy: "Not only that, this is a waterway; we can also find opportunities to transport some urgently needed materials from the Bright Alliance!"
Immediately a team member responded: "The grain urgently needed by Shadow City?"
Sly God waved his hand: "Wrong! It’s wood!"
Even Tsukamoto was puzzled: "Wood?"
Sly God laughed heartily: "Gentlemen, haven’t you noticed? When I was with Lamiya watching exchange prices, I already noticed; now, Hell’s cities lack wood the most!"
Tsukamoto immediately recalled: "Ah, a true veteran, it seems Lamiya and Farina quarreled over wood in the exchange!"
Sly God shook with excitement: "Exactly! Every word, every action deeply etched in my mind! Wood, the resources Hell most desperately lacks, is what the Elf Kingdom overflows with; it’s a huge business opportunity, and more importantly, wood transportation doesn’t require a ship at all! Just like these wood pieces, toss them upstream into river number 7, and they’ll drift down with the current!"
The entire team cheered: "Wow! A true veteran!"
Tsukamoto exclaimed with joy, "Senior is right! With us unable to ascertain if River 7 can be navigated, transporting wood is the first choice. Besides, we don’t need to procure wood from the Elf Kingdom. There’s a massive forest damaged by swarms behind the battlefield at Wall 3, it’s full of wood! And it doesn’t belong to any power, we can mobilize tens of thousands of players to cut and transport it!"
Sly God laughed heartily, "I can’t wait to report to Lamia! Captain and everyone, I’ll leave the matters of wood and human shields to you!"
Tsukamoto, invigorated, said, "Hai Yi, rest assured, Senior, go ahead with your tasks! I’ll immediately send the Bright Alliance members upstream of River 7 to swim across at any cost, solidifying the human shield first."
Then, Sly God dragged his weakened body after a death return into the trading post, shouting hoarsely, "Miss Lamia, we found the waterway connecting the Bright Alliance to the city-building site. We’re preparing to transport a large, no, colossal amount of timber via waterway to support Miss Lamia!"
At that moment, Lamia was so pleasantly surprised that the wine glass in her hand crashed to the ground, her instantaneous smile etched in the mind of Sly God, becoming eternal...
...
It’s now 10:30 PM Beijing Time.
Time quietly passed as Da Fei observed the twenty-odd new mushrooms by the lakeshore, waited for Elena’s return, and watched Tamilia’s Blood Pool excavation progress. Admittedly, when anxious, time feels like years every second; when relaxed, it’s gone in a heartbeat.
Currently, Da Fei feels very relaxed; the growth speed of the twenty-odd mushrooms is plainly visible, flourishing splendidly. Speaking of mushrooms, they’re like bamboo shoots after rain, and a splash of urine will immediately sprout a whole bunch. This filled Da Fei with confidence for the upcoming dark ecosystem plan.
Then there’s Tamilia’s progress. Tamilia’s excavation of the Blood Pool isn’t the usual digging, but rather casting spells to distort and expand the ground space of the Central Village. Crafting a space comparable to the current Bat Nest Blood Pool guarantees the progress won’t be fast.
Hence, the Flying isn’t rushing to start the high-pressure pump to suck water but first dispatching Evil Demons with buckets to scoop dry the blood pools of the other six small nests; after scooping, Hillsea personally oversees their demolition.
Just then, Selvia, with a delighted face, approached Da Fei, "Captain, Lamia and Deirdre brought back good news. Lamia discovered, with the help of the Dark Alliance warriors, a waterway from the Pool of Radiance to the Ogre Nest. Lamia has now arrived at the site, officially preparing to build the city."
Da Fei suddenly rejoiced, this Japanese player is quite capable, right? Maybe this can solve the food problem?
Selvia continued, "Then there’s Deirdre’s news, she successfully recruited a follower hero—" at this point Selvia couldn’t help but laugh, "Captain, guess who it is?"
Oh my! Should a nun laugh so gossipily and strangely? Da Fei was very curious, "A follower hero? How would I know who?"
Selvia laughed, "It’s the Hellhound Master Glaure, whom our army defeated thrice. He was too embarrassed to return and report and didn’t dare face the Demon King City Lord’s wrath, becoming a wandering hero. And Deirdre knows how he was defeated and used the most apt compliments to make him feel honorable despite bad luck, thus recruiting him!"
— Apu! Da Fei sprayed with laughter! The one enemy hero I knew surrendered in this manner, this is fate!
Da Fei asked again, "How did Deirdre know how he was defeated?"
Selvia laughed, "Of course, she asked me! Else a hero much stronger than her wouldn’t be persuaded so easily. Plus, Deirdre’s leadership charm can’t be discounted, she too possesses Master-level leadership and diplomacy skills."
Oh my! Women and Banshees love gossip! But I like it, wahahahaha!
Da Fei reflected, "Now Deirdre also has subordinates, her future growth prospects will become limitless."
Selvia sighed, "I’m starting to admire her."
Damn! Admiration, permissible. Emulating her, not happening.
Right then, the system prompt chimed:
——System Prompt: Your sailing time exceeded 1 day, you and your heroic team gained God-level Navigator Skill "Sailing Training" additional experience +360,000, your team gained extra growth potential! Your Fluid Mechanics talent skill provided you insights into aerial navigation! Your Vice Hero Selvia’s Contract Angel Elifel gained insights into "Fluid Mechanics". You gained insights as an Intermediate Arms Transporter.
Oh yeah, touching water brings joy, Brother Chu is most delighted with sailing training information! It’s a shame that I was off the ship one day, interrupting the continuous 4-day sailing progress, reverting to the first day, at a loss. Additionally, Savara being independent missed out on Fluid Mechanics experience. If my team had a God-level Navigator, probably the progress wouldn’t be interrupted.
At that moment, Da Fei suddenly remembered Captain Renior of the Siren’s homeland. It’s heard that the Sirens arranged him into the Nether Sea to absorb Nether Moon essence, uncertain how his recovery is now.
Amid Da Fei’s reflections reached the last piece of information, eyebrows raised, Intermediate Arms Transporter? Isn’t it? Never had it before? How did this insight suddenly pop up now?
