Chapter 1508 - 1406: Jungling and Mining
Farina’s words awoke the Sly God, and also the members of the Mitsubishi Command Center. Even if in the end they couldn’t obtain the Token, so what? At the very least, this is a process of striving for Merit. If they could accumulate 10 million Merit, they could discuss it further, and striving is never wrong.
As for the Battlefield Merit mission, it can be picked up in the announcement board in front of the City Hall or from the Execution Officer of any city. However, the difference is that the Underworld is a rear area, and there are quite a few hidden cities that have not yet been opened to players. For now, the Battlefield Merit missions in the open cities such as Fire Cave City, Shadow City, and Sindaga City are all the same, which is to eliminate several demigod-level monster gathering points similar to Ogre Tribes, with long and treacherous journeys.
However, no matter how difficult, it’s still somewhat easier than earning Merit by fighting against the Elf Kingdom on the surface battlefield, not to mention that the Hell Army has already shown a decline on the surface battlefield.
Then only one question remains: should they involve Da Fei? This was originally the cooperation matter that the Sly God wanted to discuss with Da Fei. However, after witnessing the powerful strength of the Summoned Demon in the previous battle, Tsukamoto had second thoughts.
Tsukamoto then asked, "Senior, everyone, should we continue our cooperation with Da Fei on this matter?"
The Sly God frowned, "If considering from a cautious perspective, we should cooperate with Da Fei."
Gunno Yosai frowned, "But there’s a problem, this isn’t a reputation task from Lamia Village, what reason does Da Fei have to cooperate with us?"
The Sly God spoke in a deep voice, "Farina! From the moment Da Fei saw Farina in the village and received her praise, I knew his thoughts! As long as it’s a task that can gain Farina’s favor, he will definitely cooperate; he’s a lascivious boy who would never miss a chance to gain favor with a female hero NPC, you can tell this from his team setup!"
At this moment, the Mitsubishi team members were silent.
Sessho Kanpaku coughed, "A female NPC enthusiast, would that count as a pervert?"
The Sly God replied coldly, "I think I’m a pervert too; only a pervert understands a pervert."
Sessho Kanpaku sighed, "Senior, we’re all perverts in search of the path of perversion! Da Fei’s powerful perversion validates the rightness of the path of perversion."
Tsukamoto coughed, "Now’s not the time to discuss the path of perversion. I think, precisely because Da Fei has fantasies about Farina, to be safe, we should not risk letting Da Fei continue gaining Farina’s favor! I believe we have the strength to do this."
Gunno Yosai said seriously, "That’s right! And from Da Fei’s lack of actions in the previous city defense, we should also be very wary of him. So we can’t rule out that during our cooperation, Da Fei might pretend to work without effort on purpose, waiting for us to be wiped out to claim the victory fruits alone!"
Tsukamoto nodded, "We also can’t rule out the possibility that after the battle of destroying the city, Da Fei’s strength has been drained. If that’s the case, he doesn’t have the value for cooperation."
The Sly God nodded, "Alright, then we’ll rely on our own strength! We can do it!"
Tsukamoto nodded, "Then let’s start with the nearest target, the spider nest outside Shadow City. According to the mission description, when Shadow City was still Dark Elf City, this was an altar of the Spider Queen. In this kind of underground nest, Da Fei’s Sky Battleship is of no use, which can help us completely eliminate the thought of cooperating with him; this is a real test for our strength."
Everyone agreed enthusiastically, "Hayi, the captain’s point makes sense!"
Tsukamoto then officially ordered, "All members of the Hell Camp gather at the barracks in Shadow City, exchange Merit points for recruiting troops, and then trade all recruited troops to the main members of Group 1. After exchanging troops, Group 2 and 3 members return to Sindaga City to buy stone materials, and transport them to Lamia Village with full effort. All Bright Alliance members in Lamia Village recover stone materials from the ruins with all efforts to rebuild the city walls..."
"Hayi!"
...
Meanwhile, in Red Name Village.
Five hours ago, the EU Joint Army used the Swedish Team’s progress lead in Mage City to successfully teleport over twenty goblin mining carts as a response to Da Fei’s world announcement of destroying the city. However, the mining carts are not just for show; they’re meant for mining.
In the words of goblins, time is money. And now, time is being wasted idly, five hours have passed, which is intolerable for the EU Team.
Prompted by the EU Team, Super Mario had no choice but to once again ask Elda, "Lord Elda, we have the mining machines ready; may I ask when we will start?"
It was either the tenth or eleventh time they asked; Mario couldn’t remember exactly. But the reply was still: "I’m sorry, Warrior, I still can’t maintain an angel transformation with my current energy; we still need to wait."
"F**K!" The heads of the EU Team could only respond with curses.
At this moment, Da V’s laughter suddenly rang out in the United Team’s chatroom, "How about I give it a try?"
Prince George was suddenly delighted, "Mr. Da V, have you made a discovery?"
Da V shook his head and laughed, "After sleeping for over four hours, I ought to have some discoveries, right? So let’s do something interesting then."
Everyone was astonished, "Mr. Da V has been sleeping all the time?"
Da V laughed, "For such a boring task, of course I was sleeping! As long as our statistician isn’t asleep."
All the heads laughed, "Alright! Let’s mine first; if Mr. Da V leads us, we’ll have the capability to mine independently."
Da V laughed, "Alright, but the mining time can’t be too long. I calculated that with my Summoned Army, I can hold off the Spider Lady’s attack for 30 seconds, so everyone, you can only mine for 30 seconds; more than that, the defense line will collapse, and the mining carts won’t be safe."
"Only 30 seconds?" Da V’s response obviously couldn’t satisfy the heads present.
The Swedish Captain frowned, "Da V, such a short time, it’s just enough for the goblin mining machine to warm up! You know the quality of the goblin mining machines..."
Prince George’s eyebrow twitched, "What if we add 300 cannon fodder team members?"
Da V burst out laughing, "Not bad, Your Highness; something like this is something I can only think of but feel embarrassed to say. If there are 300 more cannon fodder, we should be able to delay for at least another minute. Of course, the premise is that these 300 people are professional players acting under my command!"
Da V’s confidence infected everyone in the chatroom. All the heads clapped and laughed, "Alright, let’s act then?"
Da V laughed, "Let’s act! The sooner the better; I know everyone’s been driven crazy waiting."
Amidst everyone’s laughter, Prince George couldn’t help but ask, "What did Mr. Da V discover at the fishing pool then?"
Da V’s smile suddenly faded, "Very simple, I looked at the statistician’s data report; the life limit of those Chinese players’ bathing alternate accounts who interfered with my fishing is permanently reduced by a small fraction. This was determined from the total damage during their death, adding post-death automatic drop in level reductions in blood volume as the conclusion. It’s just unclear if the Chinese players have noticed themselves? But I think, this subtle change should go unnoticed by ordinary players like them."
Everyone asked in shock, "What caused it?"
Da V replied seriously, "Of course, the water under the fishing pool. Chinese players in the process of drowning will come in contact with black water below 10 meters. And the water lowering the limits might involve the domain of gods. Preliminary judgment is that this black water is a kind of corrupted Demon God’s blood. The Devil Fish is a parasitic creature born in the Demon God’s blood. It’s even possible to conclude that this pond connects to a massive hidden scene deep down, and if the Chinese player with the Phoenix Feather appeared in Red Name Village using an alternate account, then it indicates his main account might also be in this hidden scene of Red Name Village, just trapped there."
Everyone was enlightened, "If that’s the case, what do we need to do?"
Da V was surprised, "Aren’t we supposed to be mining?"
Everyone laughed loudly, "Yes, yes, the key now is mining!"
...
Da V’s speculation was correct. In the depths of Red Name Village’s Red Sea, at this moment, the Phoenix Feather was sitting alone on an isolated island fervently fishing because indeed, the Phoenix Feather had discovered Devil Fish much larger in size...(To be continued.
