God-level Hero

Floating along the underground river, Da Fei’s Sky Ship cruised with the gazes of the Japanese players fixed on it. Da Fei was going all out for the show. Anyway, it didn’t matter if it was slow; Da Fei just wanted to buy time for the Holy Vine to digest. And at this moment, a system prompt rang:

——System Prompt: Your Lamp God Space has received a letter from Sain, please check it!

The letter finally arrived! Excited and anxious, Da Fei ran to the Lamp God Space to check the mail;

——Respected Mr. Da Fei: Adding an auxiliary equipment bar to the war machine is advanced, confidential, and high-consumption business of our Mage City. Any war machine can have additions. However, we do not have an auxiliary weapon like the Demon Worm’s Stinger Drill that can devour and grow. Because the Demon Worm’s Stinger Drill is very special, as it possesses life itself, this was Mr. Da Fei’s great discovery.

However, even if it can’t grow, Mage City still has a few auxiliary equipment very suitable for use with crossbow cannons, like the Crossbow Cannon Magazine. It can store multiple crossbow arrows, allowing the crossbow to deal continuous damage. If Mr. Da Fei is interested, you can commission me to modify it. A contract for modification is attached; you just need to sign it. ——Your faithful Sain.

...

After reading the letter, Da Fei felt greatly disappointed. But then again, isn’t this Crossbow Cannon Magazine essentially a machine gun? Isn’t this exactly what Billbo was determined to develop back then?

Da Fei shook his head and laughed; it didn’t matter, as a magazine is still a magazine; enhancing the weapon is always good. As for high consumption, it’s nothing to him now. So Da Fei signed the contract and sent it along with the Hydra Cannon.

By the time he had finished with these matters, Lamia Village was finally reached. At this time, the entire wharf was crowded with Japanese players. Although everyone had already guessed what Da Fei was transporting, when the first batch of captives disembarked, the crowd couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Lamia flew to the dock to greet them immediately, but seeing these captives, she couldn’t help laughing and crying, saying: "Warrior, the biggest difference between captives and slaves is that slaves can immediately adapt and contribute to city construction, but captives take a period of subjugation and may never fully submit, so I can’t give you a reward now."

Da Fei was taken aback: "There’s this nuance?" But then again, when a player surrenders to another player, their troops become captives but cannot be commanded or claimed by the other. NPC captives do require a conversion process.

At this moment, Sly God suddenly jumped out of the crowd: "Miss Lamia, we can sell the captives to Sindaga City to exchange for slaves. Sindaga City specializes in converting captives into slaves."

Lamia laughed: "Makes sense!"

Da Fei quickly asked: "Then how is the merit calculated?"

Lamia thought for a moment, then laughed: "Half the merit from selling the captives as slaves will be considered yours, Warrior, how about that?"

Sly God praised: "Makes sense. What do you think, Mr. Da Fei? After all, captives are sometimes hard to sell. The biggest problem with the international economy right now is that goods are hard to sell."

Da Fei was stunned again! Damn, the captives I worked so hard for ended up with the merit being shared with the Japanese? Lamia, don’t side with them!

But never mind, NPCs have their own calculation methods. The process of obtaining captives wasn’t part of her task, so the "effort" wasn’t accounted for. As the behind-the-scenes boss, there’s no need to haggle over benefits; after all, you have to give them some incentive. If everything counted as my merit, they might lose hope and not work hard.

Da Fei could only smile wryly: "Though I feel slightly at a loss, I am merely a passerby in the National War, so I won’t fuss over this."

Sly God rejoiced: "That’s worthy of Mr. Da Fei! As partners, we are very touched."

Da Fei then laughed: "Miss Lamia’s distribution is reasonable, let’s proceed with that."

Lamia smiled and said: "I am eagerly looking forward to more surprises from you, Warrior."

Da Fei laughed: "Rest assured, Miss Lamia, the surprises are yet to come, and there will be more captives arriving!"

Sly God continued: "Mr. Da Fei, we have discovered a major opportunity in Shadow City; we suspect the Shadow Demon City Lord is seriously injured. This is a good opportunity, can you coordinate with us?"

Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched. The Shadow Demon City Lord really is injured, huh? Right, Lamia mentioned this before! Let’s strike while the enemy is weak!

But hold on! I just wiped out one city and now I’m going to wipe out another? That would be too arrogant, wouldn’t it? The whole world is watching me! And even if I don’t rest, others like the God of Wine should take a breather, right? No, I need to be discreet, low-profile!

Da Fei sighed: "Well, Mr. Huatou, my warship is not in a good state right now and really isn’t suitable for a large-scale operation."

Sly God was surprised: "Not in a good state? I think it looks fine?"

Da Fei sighed: "I just destroyed a city; how can I be in a good state? How about giving me some time to let my crew recover? However, I think our top priority now should be to quickly transport the captives from Demon Flame City to convert them into slaves, what do you think, Mr. Huatou?"

Sly God nodded: "Makes sense, so we’ll trouble Mr. Da Fei to keep transporting the captives, and leave the slave sales to us."

Da Fei smiled and said: "Alright, almost all of this batch of captives has disembarked, I’ll continue on my way."

Sly God suddenly bowed: "Haii, Mr. Da Fei, have a safe journey!"

Whoa, bowing! That indeed made Da Fei feel a bit uncomfortable. Although bowing is commonplace for the Japanese, one has to admit, it really does give off a pleasant and cultured vibe, doesn’t it? I’m so pleased, I almost feel bad about tricking them—just kidding!

Thus, Da Fei once again embarks on the journey back. As for returning to the city, there’s no need to overdo it; naturally, I need to fly high and fast.

...

At this moment, after seeing off Da Fei, the Mitsubishi Command Center erupted in cheers.

Sly God proudly said, "Originally, I thought Da Fei had transported thousands of captives to take full control, but I didn’t expect captives and citizens to be two different things!"

Tsukamoto laughed and said, "This means half of Da Fei’s achievements in destroying the city were essentially handed to us for free. The greater Da Fei’s success, the more we gain!"

Sly God laughed and said, "Now that’s what collaboration is!"

Tsukamoto nodded, "However, Da Fei temporarily doesn’t cooperate with the proposal for attacking Shadow City. What’s everyone’s take on this?"

Sly God said solemnly, "I think this makes sense. Regardless of how Da Fei managed to destroy Shadow City, being caught in the vortex of God-level experts’ struggles, Da Fei can’t be completely unscathed. Otherwise, he would be a god!"

Tsukamoto nodded, "Your words are so true, even a god couldn’t guarantee to destroy a city without harm."

Gunno Yosai suggested, "But no matter what, it’s a fact that the Shadow Demon City Lord is injured. We should make this wound infinitely expand. I suggest that all 12 of our main forces be stationed in Shadow City to seek an opportunity to obliterate!"

Tsukamoto nodded, "Yes, let’s do that!"

...

As soon as Da Fei boarded the ship and headed back to the city, he sought out Hillsea first: "I heard the Shadow Demon City Lord is injured, what do you think about it?"

Hillsea shook his head, "Master, although he is my father, there is no familial affection."

Indeed, loyalty outweighs kinship, I admire that! Da Fei quickly said, "I mean, does his injury reveal any significant weaknesses that make attacking the city easier?"

Hillsea said solemnly, "No! When he’s in poor condition, he would summon all his sons back to defend. In this case, the strength of Shadow City wouldn’t weaken, it might even get stronger."

Da Fei exclaimed, "I thought I found an opportunity."

Hillsea said, "However, he has another son, Leraje Mimilon, who is my second brother and very strong, even stronger than my elder brother Himilon who attacked last time. He once tried to challenge the Shadow Demon City Lord’s position but failed and was imprisoned in Abyss Demon City’s Hero Prison. If we could release him, that would make a difference; some of the City Lord’s sons, including myself previously, support Mimilon. However, the Abyss Demon City is deep in hell, there’s nothing the master can do about it."

Da Fei’s brow twitched! Wow, this game has depth, truly deserving of the 14th-ranked Demon God Lelakin Family, with its endless plots and storylines! I certainly can’t do anything, but shouldn’t the Japanese Hell players be able to?

Da Fei reconfirmed, "Are you saying your second brother could be released?"

Hillsea chuckled, "Hero Prison, of course it’s waiting for a warrior to redeem the hero!"

Is that so! This is just like meeting Elena and the big brother in the Dwarf Prison back then. Da Fei instantly had an idea and immediately called Selena to instruct: "Send a message to Lamia and Deirdre, tell them there’s a hero prisoner named Leraje Mimilon in the Abyss Demon City... Let them find a suitable moment to inform the warrior. It’s a chance to dismantle Shadow City, not to be missed."

Selvia nodded, "Understood."

Da Fei laughed heartily! Once again, I’m indirectly using Lamia to send tasks to Japanese players! What’s a behind-the-scenes boss? I am the behind-the-scenes boss! Let the Japanese players and NPCs compete for power against each other first, then when it comes to crucial events, I step up and a ton of stones crash down, demolishing the city, haha, wahahahaha!

Having tasted success, Da Fei asked Hillsea again: "You seem to know quite a bit, so is there anything going on in other cities?"

Hillsea shook his head and sighed, "I’m sorry Master, I only know some things about Shadow City; I know very little about other cities."

Da Fei chuckled, "Is that so, never mind, you’ve done very well!"
