Chapter 1429: Chapter 1328: Lamia Village
The sudden insight of being an Intermediate Arms Transporter sent a shiver down Da Fei’s spine! Why hadn’t this thought occurred before, and only today? What makes today different? Please don’t tell me it’s because of the interrupted Sailing Training progress.
Da Fei hurriedly checked the long-forgotten introduction to the Arms Transporter:
——Primary Arms Transporter: Increases Land Marching and Sea March speed by 5%, and increases Stamina by 5%. The profession’s enhancement effects stack with Logistics and Sailing Skills. For every 5 levels of Primary Arms Transporter, an additional free attribute point is gained. Professional Skill "Gunrunning".
Gunrunning: The more goods you transport, the higher the defense bonus your escorting troops receive, with a maximum defense bonus of 5% for Primary Arms Transporters.
Da Fei frowned, recalling that when the Mayor gifted me a Wisdom Scroll, he mentioned how to advance in this profession when I formally broke through the Mortal’s 8 Profession Limit.
Da Fei quickly flipped through the player event log, found the day he formally became a Primary Arms Transporter, checked the dialogue records, and found it!
——Mayor: "Let’s talk about this arms transporter. Similar to navigators, there are no textbooks for this profession, and it can’t be upgraded via Skill Points. However, professions and skills that can be upgraded through Skill Points don’t acquire wisdom. Upgrading as an arms transporter is simple; you just need the guild leader to make big deals and engage in long-distance transportation. The key is long-distance transport. The more goods transported and the further the distance, the more experience is gained for career progression. It’s really that simple." (See Chapter 1060 "Beyond Mortal Limits")
...
Da Fei suddenly understood. Of course, today is different from before. It’s because Elena cleared out the passenger and cargo holds, filling the entire 10,000-unit capacity space with Obsidian Mine and Purple Magic Diamonds! The reason no advancement information appeared before was simply due to the cargo hold not being filled enough! The Mayor was correct; this is indeed the simplest progression method.
Realizing this, Da Fei was amused and frustrated; such a simple advancement method is extremely difficult for me. After all, someone as high-end and busy as me hardly has time for this low-grade activity of loading a full cargo hold!
Moreover, "simple" things can sometimes be more torturous, like various forging and gathering life skills. Indeed simple! Just repeat them day by day, a hundred times. And this arms transporter is a profession, so its "simple" degree must be slightly more profound than life skills.
Consequently, Da Fei can conclude that this seemingly simplest arms transporter is probably harder to advance than all his other eight professions! Other professions mostly involve a flash of inspiration for realization, but the arms transporter requires pure time grinding and labor, which is terrifying. Not quite, there is also the Junior Monk, which also requires pure time grinding, and Da Fei’s progress in this profession is practically zero!
The more Da Fei thought, the more headache it became.
Following the guidance given by the Archbishop who taught the Monks profession initially, as long as I graduate from all mortal-learnable eight professions, reaching at least Master Level in eight out of my nine professions, then the path to becoming a Saint is promising. Thus, these two "simple" primary professions, arms transporter and monk, have become the drag factors. If these two time-wasting delay tactics prevent me from becoming a Saint, that would be the greatest joke.
Perhaps I should take this opportunity to start transporting food supplies to "aid the enemy"? Even though it’s a simple time-consuming profession, I still have enough wisdom points, and it should be time for wisdom to come into play.
At that moment, Selvia spoke again: "Captain, we’ve just received news from Lamia, who has successfully used the Sealing Order at the former site of the Ogre Nest to establish a village. The village is named Lamia Village!"
Right after, the system prompt rang:
——System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Lamia has successfully established a neutral faction village-level city, Lamia Village, becoming the village chief of Lamia Village!
Oh my! The village’s name is simply beyond direct reception! And seeing this message, Da Fei suddenly felt an unusual sensation of becoming a godfather! Yes, this is also my goddaughter’s village after all.
Alright, it’s not like I’m busy anyway! Da Fei finally made up his mind: "Okay! Once we’ve handled matters here, we’ll transport goods to help her establish the village!"
...
At this moment, cheers erupted in the Mitsubishi Command Center.
With the Sealing Order officially used by Lamia, the former Ogre High Cliff, along with the small surrounding area of the underground riverbank beneath the high cliff, formally became Lamia Village’s territory. Hundreds of "meat shield players" from the Japan Light Alliance, who had been waiting in the dark after swimming downstream with wooden logs, immediately entered the territory. At this moment, players from the Japan Light and Dark Alliances finally met, shook hands, and celebrated in victory at Lamia Village.
Simultaneously, outside the 3rd Ancient Tree Wall, in the forest where the former rear insect nest was located, thousands of Hell players from Japan with logging skills were diligently chopping trees. Meanwhile, player convoys from the Light Alliance were transporting truckloads of timber from the forest edge back to the city. The ability of players from both Light and Dark Alliances to collaborate on such a large scale is currently unique to the Japan zone.
It must be said, if it were before the National War began, this vast forest was property of the NPC Elf Kingdom, and players were forbidden from rashly chopping down trees. Even during the National War, when this area became the Hell Army’s rear insect nest base, players couldn’t take a single piece. Now, with the Hell Army driven away and the Elf Kingdom too weak to reclaim it, this brief void period indeed marks Japan zone’s opportunity, especially finding timber sales channels.
Thus, at this very moment, watching the bustling scene outside the 3rd Ancient Tree Wall on the big screen, the Mitsubishi Command Center members were filled with joy and became deeply immersed.
However, Sly God wasn’t blinded by the situation unfolding: "Captain Tsukamoto, such a massive convoy will likely lure a small fly over, wouldn’t it?"
Tsukamoto chuckled: "You’re talking about Phoenix Feather, aren’t you? Don’t worry, sir, we suspect he likely logged out to avoid us; otherwise, he has no reason to miss such a good opportunity. When he appears, we’ll contact the United States side, and it will be morning there, when their fighting spirit is strongest, they’d act immediately upon seeing Phoenix Feather."
Sly God laughed: "If during the grand transport, we can conveniently eliminate an archenemy, then that would be a perfect ending of killing two birds with one stone!"
Just then, a team member shouted in excitement: "Trailers! So many trailers!"
Next moment, the system notification sounds rumbled on the big screen:
——System Prompt: You discovered 52 abandoned heavy-duty trailers...
The command center filled with cheers: "Altogether 108 heavy-duty trailers! Our current transport capability rivals any City Lord!"
Tsukamoto laughed heartily: "It’s like I said; as long as we continue exploring, there’ll always be rewards! All team members, immediately head out to escort the trailers back to the city!"
Sly God was overjoyed: "Captain Tsukamoto doesn’t disappoint; our Japan zone truly is thriving. I can foresee more good things happening!"
...
It’s now 11 PM Beijing Time.
After forcing himself asleep with alcohol this afternoon, Phoenix Feather woke up from his dream laughing. Just now, Phoenix Feather dreamt that his Thunderball had blasted Da Fei’s battleship into dust, and then those shameless vice heroes of Da Fei surrendered their clothes to him.
Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Phoenix Feather’s first reaction was to check the clock. It was 11 PM, marking a solid 6-hour nap. Great, this is the capital to stay up all night. Time to log in and fight to his heart’s content!
Pero antes de iniciar sesión, Phoenix Feather todavía tenía el hábito de revisar el foro para ver qué había pasado en las últimas horas. Y al mirar, Phoenix Feather se dio cuenta de que la zona de Japón lanzó rápidamente una reunión de decenas de miles después de su desconexión y estaba arrepentido por perder una buena oportunidad.
At that moment, Phoenix Feather also saw the live report from the journalist upfront, showing tens of thousands of Japanese players engaging in large-scale activities at the 3rd Ancient Tree Wall battlefield. Such vast scale could not merely be described as "ant moving home"!
"Do you think I don’t exist? To hell with you all!" Phoenix Feather, unable to contain his excitement, logged in urgently. (To be continued.
