God-level Hero

After taking up the role of Dark Ranger, Da Fei could still do nothing but slowly admire the prosperity of Central Village. At this moment, a new batch of evil sprites had been born, bringing the total number of evil sprites to 1030. The quantity of evil sprites already met Tamilia’s initial goal, and of course, the more, the better from here on.

As for what Da Fei is concerned about right now, it’s definitely the number of Evil Beetles. It’s clear that 10,000 Evil Beetles can’t keep up with the production pace, so a chance needs to be found for Nasir to make a big recovery.

During the wait, Selvia hurried over again; seeing her beaming face, Da Fei knew there was surely good news.

As expected, Selvia approached and said, "Captain, the latest progress from Deirdre. She and her follower hero Glaure have stabilized their relationship with the Chief Hero Cromwell, and according to Glaure’s judgment, Cromwell’s strength has diminished, which will influence Cromwell’s reappointment for quite some time. Until then, Cromwell will probably stay in the tavern."

Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, as long as they stabilize over there, we can proceed step by step too. Tell them about our plan to hunt the Swamp Prison Demon Dragon in the coming days, so they’re adequately prepared."

Selvia nodded as she replied, "Got it."

Da Fei asked again, "By the way, Cromwell’s weakened state should be caused by that self-destruction, right?"

Selvia nodded, "Being able to self-destruct is a skill, but I can’t self-destruct."

Da Fei spat out a mouthful of water. Brother couldn’t imagine how a nun would self-destruct!

Selvia continued, "There’s news again from the Lamia side; the city building is going very smoothly, and there isn’t any threat from other City Lord forces currently."

Da Fei felt relieved: "Great, make sure she uses the Hell Warriors’ intelligence network to be on alert. Notify me immediately if there’s any threat, and I’ll step in to help."

"Understood."

Everything’s going smoothly! Simply too smoothly! Now Da Fei felt no more worries and stretched comfortably, deciding to hang up and sleep to recuperate his spirit. After waking, everything here would almost be settled.

...

At this moment, Red Name Village, Exile Land.

The once desolate exile land now sees a flood of Red Names from all nations. From time to time, a white resurrection light descends in the village center from those exploring around the village. Right, the Red Names sent by various nations are not interested in fishing; rather, they care about the size of this Red Name Village’s area, whether it has any resources, and its strategic value — why Da Fei, Fleeting Blossom, and other top Chinese players are laying out such schemes here?

This indeed let Da Bing, One Sword Eastward, and other Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce members relax slightly. Their greatest fear was foreign players vying for their fishing area. But besides feeling fortunate, they couldn’t help but feel a slight dissatisfaction. After all, their treasured fishing area was being ignored.

Seeing Brother Hao observing the various nations’ guests, Da Bing couldn’t suppress his curiosity and went up to ask, "Brother Hao, why aren’t you sleeping yet, staying up so late?"

Brother Hao casually replied, "Hmm, just used to staying up."

Da Bing then asked, "Brother Hao, I noticed a problem. All these Red Names coming from countries seem to be from colorful EU small nations. The big countries like the United States, Russia, UK, Germany, France are notably absent; doesn’t that seem odd?"

Brother Hao was displeased: "You forgot to mention Japan!"

Da Bing chuckled: "Japan hardly counts as a big country."

Brother Hao angrily said: "You know nothing!"

Brother Hao was furious! Da Bing quickly changed his tone: "Right, right, Japan too."

Brother Hao took a deep breath and casually asked, "Then what problem do you think exists here?"

Da Bing said in a serious tone, "I think these are avatars sent by large countries! Because a truly small nation doesn’t have the capability to wade into Red Name Village’s deep waters!"

"Oh?" Brother Hao raised his brow, "Then how deep do you think these waters are?"

Da Bing pointed to the Chinese Martian across, who was thrown into Red Name Village by Brother Fei, and whispered, "Firstly, I’m increasingly suspicious that he’s not a Chinese player; he’s likely an infiltrator sent by other countries."

Brother Hao raised his brow: "Reason?"

Da Bing seriously said, "One, he rarely speaks! The translator used is the standard official language of the United Nations conventions, which cannot translate our Chinese players’ various gaming slang or online swearing, so he avoids speaking to prevent exposure. Two, he doesn’t show off! Chinese amateur players show off once they have power. Three, his name is a forgettable Martian, which is suspicious—"

Brother Hao angrily said: "Damn it, I’m the Martian! Are you saying I’m an infiltrator too?"

Da Bing was anxious: "Brother Hao, calm down. Your name is a very tasteful, wonderfully aesthetic Martian War God name; his name is pointless symbols, how can he compare to you? He’s insulting Martian script!"

Brother Hao snorted coldly and said, "Then wouldn’t you say, he challenged Brother Fei just to show off, to gain instant fame?"

Da Bing laughed and said, "That’s clearly foolishness! Definitely not showing off! The true art of showing off is having a hundred percent win rate. Who in the world would dare say they have a hundred percent win rate against Brother Fei? That’s foolish, right? If it’s not foolishness, then it’s definitely other countries sending him to trouble Brother Fei."

Brother Hao nodded: "That sounds about right. So, do you think there’s any suspicious Chinese player left in Red Name Village?"

Da Bing raised an eyebrow: "There’s one, very suspicious! Just wait until he dies and comes back—I’ll point him out to you, Brother Hao! He’s been running out of Red Name Village continuously and has died more than 20 times, dropping two levels to 48. This is definitely not a normal player."

Just as Da Bing finished speaking, another flash of Death White Light lit up the plaza in Red Name Village, and a Chinese Undead player bearing the Chinese flag returned from death.

Da Bing excitedly pointed: "Perfect timing! That’s him, the undead player named Pork Rib Saint!"

Brother Hao was intrigued: "Call him over, I want to have a chat with him."

Da Bing cheerfully replied: "Got it!" and waved his hand: "Brothers and sisters, go!"

"Oh yeah!"

So, the fishing players from the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce, along with a few players maintaining the warehouse, immediately surrounded him from all directions.

One Sword Eastward had been idling and dozing, allowing Da Bing to gain favor with Brother Hao, feeling regretful and energized, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "You there, named Pork Rib Saint, stop right there!"

The commotion stirred by the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce instantly attracted the attention of the Red Names from various countries present, and for a moment, all their eyes focused on the Chinese player named "Pork Rib Saint."

At that moment, the player called Pork Rib Saint was shocked! Looking at the imposing force of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce and the intrigued gazes from players of various nations surrounding him, he cursed inwardly: "What is wrong with this account?"

Indeed, this Pork Rib Saint was actually Phoenix Feather, who had bought the account online!

Phoenix Feather had been busy fishing, lacking time to explore the surrounding terrain of Red Name Village thoroughly. Other foreign fishing companions also believed that there would be no changes to Red Name Village before the launch of the national war server, and were reluctant to waste precious fishing time exploring. Furthermore, exploration in such a dangerous place of exile would require teaming up, and expecting a group of vicious Red Names to unite for a joint expedition? Such troublesome matters were simply out of the question.

However, Phoenix Feather did notice that Village Chief Elda would fly out of the village for routine patrols every day. While others might see it as just flying out for a round, Phoenix Feather believed she must be inspecting something very important. So, Phoenix Feather recorded videos of her every outing and return to estimate the locations she was inspecting based on her flying speed.

Perhaps this was the key to unraveling the mystery of the Red Sea. Thus, Phoenix Feather picked an account online specifically skilled in treasure hunting, reconnaissance, and logistics to stealthily head to the estimated location, waiting for Angel Elda’s patrol appearance, while also avoiding detection by players from other countries.

And as expected, Elda didn’t disappoint Phoenix Feather; even though Phoenix Feather couldn’t match Elda’s flying speed by foot, it was enough. Elda’s appearance made Phoenix Feather’s speculative calculations much more accurate.

Finally, Phoenix Feather discovered a huge earthen mound cave, with a Giant Spider Woman patrolling back and forth nearby. Such mounds and bosses could be found in other wilderness areas of the exile land, but this one, inspected by Elda, was absolutely unique.

Thus, Phoenix Feather repeatedly attempted to sneak into the cave, gathering insights from each failed attempt, fully engrossed in the endeavor when a mundane person and matter happened right before them.

"Hey, come over here, Brother Hao has something to discuss with you!"

This was from Phoenix Feather’s most hated and despised lackey, One Sword Eastward. Although nobody in the village could do anything about him, curiosity aroused, Phoenix Feather obligingly followed the Dragon Cavalry members to face Brother Hao at the fishing spot.

Brother Hao gave Pork Rib Saint a meaningful look, then mildly asked: "I’ve seen you die many times. If you keep dying like this, your level will drop significantly. Need any help?"

Phoenix Feather’s heart skipped a beat and asked in surprise: "What are you talking about? Help me?"

Brother Hao chuckled: "Yeah, here we’re all Chinese, aren’t we supposed to help each other? Otherwise, foreign players would laugh at us."

At this very moment, Da Bing and One Sword Eastward were waiting to laugh at this suspicious spy.

Perfect timing! Phoenix Feather was just troubled by the difficulty of going solo when unexpectedly someone offered themselves as a fool to jump in willingly: "Great! I discovered a boss cave with treasure inside. Believe it or not, you decide!"

The members of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce were suddenly shocked: "Treasure?"

Da Bing was incredulous: "Something as important as treasure, you just casually said it?"

Phoenix Feather retorted: "Then why did you ask?"

Da Bing stuttered: "You just speak up because we ask?"

Phoenix Feather sneered: "You asked, so if I don’t tell you, it’s a waste of time, isn’t it? Goodbye!" and headed straight out of the village without looking back.

What kind of logic is this? Da Bing and the others were dumbfounded: "Brother Hao? What now?"

Brother Hao finally came to his senses: "Follow him, of course!"

"Understood, Brother Hao!"

As the members of the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce followed him out of the village, the players from various countries also instinctively followed behind. At this moment, Phoenix Feather sneered repeatedly: "It’s alright, the more chaotic, the better!" (To be continued.
