God-level Hero

Welcomed by Da Fei, Morasan and his group of gardeners entered the Central Village. At this moment, even Morasan, a Court Gardener, couldn’t help but exclaim loudly: "A miracle! Who would’ve thought there’d be another world inside a ship!"

At this time, three elders also stepped forward to greet him: "Greetings, Mr. Morasan!"

Morasan laughed and said, "Please take care of me in the future!"

Da Fei pointed to the grape vine coiling like a giant serpent on the ground and laughed: "Mr. Morasan, this is our grape vine, transplanted from the Wine God Space. What do you think, sir?"

Morasan stepped forward, touched it, and nodded: "It needs a trellis. Please provide 50 units of wood and 50 units of stone, Lord Warrior."

Damn! I want a gemstone trellis!

Da Fei expressed disappointment: "Such a precious vine using such a common trellis?"

Morasan said solemnly, "Exactly! Lord Warrior, you are trying to pull the seedlings to force their growth. For crops, it’s not about having more fertilizer, more energy, or more catalysis. This grape vine was transplanted from one environment to another and must undergo a transitional adaptation process. If this grape were an ordinary variety, it would have been overwhelmed by the abundant energy in the space. But fortunately, it’s not ordinary, so it survives. However, it is now mutating, not growing normally. If this continues, I cannot guarantee it will produce normal fruit, nor can I guarantee the fruit will make wine."

Oh my gosh, there’s such depth to this! Isn’t playing a game easy for me? Da Fei asked in shock: "So this grape can only continue to mutate?"

Anlicia also exclaimed: "But the energy in the Holy Vine Space is so rich, it simply won’t give it the time to adapt!"

Morasan shook his head: "There are two choices: 1, while this vine is still salvageable, I can help it grow like a normal grape. 2, let it continue mutating. I can’t guarantee what it will become, maybe a new miracle, or maybe an unforeseeable plant. Considering the second point does excite me."

——System Prompt: The Kingdom’s Chief Court Gardener Morasan asks you to decide the grape vine’s growth direction. For normal growth, press 1...

Damn! Testing me right from the start, can’t I get a break? What to choose? Based on my usual pursuit of novelty, I’d undoubtedly choose 2! After all, eating Divine Power from the Holy Vine, even if it’s not a God-level grape, it’s at least a monster-level grape!

However, at this moment, Da Fei hesitated. The current priority is to get the Sky Ship to obtain a domain as quickly as possible. Any unforeseeable mutation means more headaches! There’s no need to be troubled by a grape.

Da Fei furrowed his brow, then pointed at the Unicorn Flower Vine near the grape vine: "Then Mr. Morasan, take a look at this vine, is there any problem?"

Morasan touched it again and faintly nodded: "The same problem! Lord Warrior still has two choices!"

Ah, I see! Da Fei immediately made up his mind: "I’ve decided, the grape will be cultivated in the normal direction. I urgently need the Wine God Domain to establish a self-sustaining internal production chain in the short term. As for the Unicorn Flower Vine, I honestly can’t think of much use for it, so let it continue mutating to witness miracles."

Morasan nodded: "Good, we’ll leave the Unicorn Flower Vine for now. Please prepare the materials to build a trellis for the grape. Starting now, I will cut this vine into 10 parts and remove the mutated branches, then transplant these 10 simultaneously from scratch, called a transitional adaptation period from a young age. If these 10 continue to show a tendency to mutate, I will continue to cut them into 10 parts, after two generations of adaptation, they will definitely become a new generation of grapes adapted to the environment. At that time, Lord Warrior can consider using treasures to speed up growth. For Lord Warrior, that means turning one vine into a hundred, a quite considerable vineyard size."

Oh my gosh! This game is just too hard! If a player had to cultivate personally, who would have thought to cut one vine into a hundred? I’ve really met a genius!

Da Fei laughed heartily: "Alright, Miss Tamilia, please assist Master Morasan with the grape cultivation!"

"Understood!"

Just then, Elena, who was watching from the side, asked: "Then this, Master, since you said the problem with the grape is that too much energy causes mutation, what about the mushroom?"

Morasan frowned: "I’m not familiar with mushrooms, but mushrooms are naturally an explosive crop, and Lord Warrior’s mushroom is already a mutant mushroom, right? I think there should be no impact."

The three elders laughed: "We ground elves aren’t very knowledgeable about mushrooms, a dark creature, so Mr. Morasan, there’s something for you to learn here too."

Morasan laughed: "Indeed, I feel this journey has been worthwhile. So, Miss Dark Elf, please take care of me in the future!"

Elena laughed: "Master, please instruct me more!"

Da Fei laughed heartily: "Good, everyone work together to develop our Dark Ecosystem. When the miracle is born, it will be the time for heroes to grow!"

...

The rest became much simpler. As the last batch of captives boarded the Sky Ship, it set sail again for Lamia Village. After unloading the captives, Da Fei would implement the original plan: first clear the underground path to experience the feeling of locusts swarming, then take down the Swamp Prison Demon Dragon.

Speaking of which, the so-called "trial voyage" to Demon Flame City was actually just cowering under the Wine God’s wing, not fulfilling the purpose of familiarizing with the new weapon at all. Even the 1000 special shells given by the Kingdom Chief of Staff weren’t used, truly a failure. So this time, taking out the Swamp Prison Demon Dragon must involve a satisfying bombardment.

As soon as Da Fei thought of the Swamp Prison Demon Dragon, he called for Selvia: "Send a message to Deirdre, we’re going to kill the Swamp Prison Demon Dragon. Ask if she wants to join the expedition on the ship, or go there on her own?"

Then, Selvia quickly received a reply from Deirdre: "Deirdre will wait for the Captain to meet in Swamp Prison City."

Great, it seems Swamp Prison City hasn’t opened up to players yet, which is a good way to eliminate the tracking eyes of Japan’s players. Da Fei was satisfied and said, "Let’s do it this way."

...

At this time, in the Focolor Demon God Sealing Space, Blood Sea Wave easily defeated the Undead Fleet stationed by the Pirate King. It seems that even in the Japan area, the Pirate King holds onto the source of the Demon God’s power. However, for Blood Sea Wave, who possesses the power of the Demon God and whose sailing skills have reached God-level, defeating these stationed troops was absolutely effortless.

Then, Blood Sea Wave saw a blood-red vortex in the space, and this was where the Sea God’s power sealed the Demon God Focolor.

Previously, Blood Sea Wave accompanied Barak here, where Barak jumped into the vortex on the nomination of Focolor to gain power alone, while he merely shared in the Demon God’s power through the team setup, and also shared the Demon God’s issue of the Blood Sacrifice of Ten Thousand People task to offer a sacrificial army worth 10,000 Command Value to the Demon God.

And now, Blood Sea Wave killed 1,000 player heroes on the national war battlefield, and the head of one hero is equivalent to the blood sacrifice value of an army worth 10 Command Value, thereby fulfilling this task of Blood Sacrifice of Ten Thousand People by substitution. Blood Sea Wave was eager to know what would happen if players directly conversed with the Demon God without Barak present.

Just as Blood Sea Wave’s ship was approaching the vortex, a gloomy voice came from within: "I’ve met you in Asia Plane. You were the warrior who followed Barak last time! In just a few months, you’ve grown into a God-level Pirate, which truly exceeds my expectations!"

The Demon God spoke, and indeed storming in as a God-level Pirate would make the Demon God regard him differently, indicating the triggering of a hidden plot! Blood Sea Wave excitedly said, "My belief is to rescue you, sir, and for this goal, I have tirelessly refined myself! This time, I have again brought the tribute you need, please accept with a smile!"

The Demon God laughed heartily: "Very good! Extremely good! There aren’t many mortals as capable as you, I really admire you. I offer you two choices, do you wish to be a foolish mortal or a wise mortal? I will reward you based on your answer —"

Upon speaking here, the Demon God’s voice became somber and severe: "You only have one chance to choose, think carefully before answering!"

Blood Sea Wave was taken aback, isn’t it obvious? Who the heck would want to be a foolish mortal? But wait — would everyone indeed want to be a wise mortal? Is dealing with demons really as good as it sounds?

Blood Sea Wave then asked: "What does it mean to be a foolish mortal?"

The Demon God sneered coldly: "If you can ask this question, then you are a foolish mortal! I only give you the opportunity to choose, and there’s no need to answer too much. My patience is limited."

Decided! Not taking the usual path, I’ll take a gamble!

Blood Sea Wave gritted his teeth and said: "It seems I lack comprehension and asked a foolish question, so I must be a foolish mortal then, foolishness is incurable, right? I choose to remain foolish!"

The Demon God laughed wildly: "Foolish mortal, why do you give up on cure? However, I admire it! Then I will give you a reward for foolish mortals, kill Barak, and his power will belong to you!"

——System Prompt: You have completed the tribute collection task "Blood Sacrifice of Ten Thousand People", and you have again received the usage of Focolor Demon God Power for one month. You have received a new task "Kill Barak"!

——Task Hint: Kill Barak, prove your foolishness!

So it indeed requires getting rid of this one who takes kickbacks, huh? Blood Sea Wave joyfully said: "Still, please instruct me, why should I kill Barak?"

The Demon God laughed heartily: "Because although he didn’t say it verbally, in his actions he chose to become a wise mortal! What is wisdom? It’s wanting to gain the power of demons without paying too much, treating me purely as an ATM. Indeed worthy of being a cunning pirate. However, such a person isn’t fit to deal with demons and doesn’t deserve to have the demon’s power. Since you chose the path of foolishness, then sink deeper into the greedy foolish path, as degeneration is also the source of power! After you kill Barak and prove your foolishness, I will guide you to more substantial ways of acquiring power."

Blood Sea Wave raised an eyebrow: "Do I need to kill the Pirate King?"

The Demon God’s laughter rose again: "Oh foolish mortal, you actually have such a clever side! I admire you even more, yes, Red Beard is also a wise mortal, he could have saved me with his power, but he didn’t, so he stopped right there! Kill him, and you will gain his power and replace his status. But as of now, you are no match for Red Beard."

Blood Sea Wave laughed wildly: "Understood, please wait for my good news!"

The Demon God said with an upbeat tone: "Then next time, let’s meet in Asia Plane!"

At this moment, Blood Sea Studio erupted in applause again!

Brother Tian laughed and said: "As expected of Atao, so is the next step returning home?"

Blood Sea Wave laughed and said: "Returning home! I can’t wait to deal with that Barak, is he still in the bar in Black Water City? I’ll trick him onto the sea and feed him to turtles!"

Little Ma nodded: "He hasn’t run away. But can your battleship be transported back home? You’re not like Da Fei, Da Fei brought his ship when coming, and according to the rules of the national war, they would likely arrange to transport him back as well. Your ship was obtained in the national war, so it might require spending some Merits or waiting until the national war ends, right? And even if it needs to be transported, it would have to sail along the inland river all the way to the capital’s World Tree Square first, right?"

Blood Sea Wave furrowed his brows: "That’s true, I’ll ask the NPC when I return, if I’m truly impatient, I’ll sell it!"

Brother Tian and Little Ma urgently said: "Tycoon, calm down! Even if you want to sell it, no one has the reputation to sail it away!" (To be continued.
