Chapter 1877 - 1880: Interesting
Lin Island.
The very island that Lin Feng had informed about.
This name wasn’t given by Lin Feng; he couldn’t care less about such things—it was altered by his subordinates.
Changed it was, but he cared even less.
Throughout Lin Island, crowded everywhere were slaves wearing specially made shackles.
All of these were taken by Lin Feng from another island.
On the entire Lin Island, there were only two types of people: Lin Feng’s warriors and the slaves.
Lin Feng was not among them; he was a god!
Of course, this title of god was also given by his subordinates.
However, these slaves were not as pitiful as one might imagine.
Accurately speaking, these slaves were more like a class and not purely at the mercy of beating or killing whenever!
Although they were slaves, their lives could not be taken at will; they had related order and rules.
They could even apply to become warriors if they were willing and capable.
If successful, they would no longer be subordinate to others!
These methods, to be honest, were essentially the same as those used by Lu Xiaobu on Gourd Island.
Both borrowed from a certain country’s caste system.
Divide people into classes and let them willingly accept this system!
Only Lu Xiaobu’s methods were somewhat more civilized, while Lin Feng’s were rather cruel.
At this moment, Lin Feng was in his straw house, looking at a map.
This map was not perfect at all, one might even say incomplete, with only a dozen islands marked on it.
These were the coordinates he collected, along with those he saw Lu Xiaobu gather.
Using these coordinates, he roughly drew out a map.
"Lu Xiaobu, oh Lu Xiaobu, where are you?"
Lin Feng twirled a pencil in his hand, his eyes wandering back and forth over the dozen islands.
Yes, he did not choose to immediately occupy nearby islands like Lu Xiaobu; instead, he wanted to locate the area Lu Xiaobu spoke of, and directly engage in warfare!
Because he was truly not interested in the act of land grabbing.
Their purpose of coming to this world was to turn it into their final battlefield, not to unify like some overbearing deity.
His sole reason for seizing territories was his need for more resources to foster his warriors, making them stronger.
He believed Lu Xiaobu’s motive was the same.
However, he utilized the method of Cultivating Gu, so the resources his warriors needed were far less than anticipated.
Once a certain amount was reached, there was no longer a need to plunder resources!
But Lu Xiaobu was different.
He knew Lu Xiaobu’s warriors now numbered well beyond three hundred thousand, or at least minimally that!
Because that man was simply too compassionate.
He couldn’t bear to see his hundred thousand Iron Cavalry take risks, didn’t want a single one of them to die.
Hence, he required a vast number of cannon fodder to die!
And it wasn’t just the Iron Cavalry; there was also the warrior group called the Dragon Group.
This Dragon Group was partly part of the Lu Family, and Lu Xiaobu wouldn’t want to sacrifice even these Dragon Group warriors if he could help it.
Consequently, he required even more cannon fodder!
And more cannon fodder demanded more resources, more territories, and required warfare to sustain warfare.

Thus, after receiving coordinates, Lu Xiaobu was bound to dispatch troops aggressively.
But Lin Feng was different; he had all the time in the world to slowly digest, slowly analyze.
If an island lacked resources, he could simply abandon it, take his warriors to the next island.
To draw an analogy, Lu Xiaobu was akin to Huaxia’s agricultural civilization, holding ground and then expanding outward.
While Lin Feng resembled a nomadic tribe, grazing where the pasture was rich, leaving for another when it was barren!
"You better not let me find you, farmer, you should know how terrifying nomads are!"
Lin Feng’s eyes gleamed like a wolf’s, his tone amused as he spoke, while the pencil scratched over the dozen islands one after another.
After musing for a while longer and mentally rolling through several possible conjectures, Lin Feng tossed aside the pencil, stretched lazily: "Someone, prepare a bath and change of clothes for me."
At his words, several members of the Demon Clan swiftly entered.
Indeed, the Demon Clan, though Lin Feng preferred to call them beast maidens.
Ah, the kind with animal ears or tails.
What? You’re asking why not full beast-headed Demon Clan?!
Bah! With Lin Feng’s current Strength, whatever kind of Demon Clan he wanted, he would have!
Several delicate beast maidens served Lin Feng with washing before being dismissed by him.
He’d long since lost interest in such pleasures, especially when he had thoughts of the impending final battle in mind, causing him even less focus on these matters.
Lin Feng soaked in the bath, swirling the wine glass in his hand, resumed his murmuring: "Seems I need to visit the Spirit Realm again to see who Lu Xiaobu might be attacking!"
"Of course, Lu Xiaobu undoubtedly knows this too, so he’ll certainly choose silent invasions, preparing first, then striking deadly one-hit kills!"
"But again, farmer you are, a farmer needs time to prepare, giving opponents time to react."
"Has the Spirit Realm settled yet? Has that old dog with rabies, the Deity, finished his bout? If his rabies is still raging, making these fellows afraid to go to the Spirit Realm, where will I track Lu Xiaobu’s farmer target?!"
"Damn it! Seems I’ll have to figure out a way to kill that old dog, it’s damn annoying! You should’ve continued acting as your dog, waited till I finish with Lu Xiaobu, till a victor is decided, do whatever you want; now you just had to meddle!"
"Oh, one more thing, how did Lu Xiaobu have his people blend in among the guards? That’s rather intriguing!"
"Since they managed to infiltrate among the guards, it shows this guy’s fundamental Attribute should match those of the guards, yet Lu Xiaobu himself was unaffected, indicating separation akin to mine?!"
"Heh! Since you put it that way, should I try sending some spies myself?! Such actions might just hasten that old dog’s demise!"
Lin Feng rambled on in a whimsical manner, and as he concluded, a spark lit up his eyes, causing the entire bath to burst open, with a robe automatically draping over him.
Then Lin Feng downed the wine in his glass in one gulp and, with a mysterious smile, set out!
Interesting, interesting, really quite interesting!
