Chapter 1008 - 949: The Eastern World’s First Trader
When the Naga General’s final mighty attack missed, a mouthful of poisonous blood was spat out as he breathed heavily in defeat.
At this moment, the Naga warriors had no means of attacking the air, the only thing they could do was follow the futile pursuit of three angels and blood eagles who were killing mid-level Naga warriors. Clearly, it was a pointless endeavor, as the airforce could toy with the ground army effortlessly, not to mention the blood eagle’s petrification aura slowing them down.
For a time, Da Fei’s angels were weaving through the battlefield, while the Naga warriors tired themselves with a fruitless chase. 89, 90, 91!
Victory was steadily waving towards Da Fei!
Has Brother won? At this moment, Da Fei, having been through ups and downs in the situation, could no longer withstand any unexpected changes; he needed to calmly hunt them down now. Yes, calmly!
98! 99!
— Task Hint: Your Ice Song Race Reputation Task "Slay 100 Mid-level Naga Warriors" progress: 100/100. You have completed the Ice Song Race assessment task, please return to the Ice Song Battlefield frontline to claim your reward.
Hundred Man Slay! Success!
At this moment, Da Fei could no longer contain his excitement, laughing aloud. Da Fei finally laughed until the end!
What can be done now? Of course, killing one more is still a profit, kill more if possible! Looking at the general vomiting blood and utterly defeated, Da Fei even had a vague ambition to execute the general and achieve ultimate annihilation!
Could Brother really execute the general? As Da Fei’s ambition soared, the general suddenly spoke: "Human, aren’t you simply seeking a trade permit? I admit your extraordinary strength, I agree to give it to you. Please spare my subordinates!"
— System Prompt: Naga General Kennechi offers a Naga Empire Trade Permit in exchange for a ceasefire, would you accept?
Naga Empire Trade Permit: Having this permit allows a player to freely trade at port cities within the Naga Empire. The higher the player’s reputation, the greater the trade permissions for items.
Da Fei was shocked! Oh my god, he really took Xiluo’s words seriously! However, given Brother’s world reputation and the current progress, it was not surprising for this step to occur. The problem is that my main goal was not trade, but to seize the Sea God Sacrifice to appease Leviathan!
But after this battle, Da Fei has gained a deep understanding of the Naga Clan’s strength, even with such favorable conditions, the fight was twisty and turny, ultimately winning by luck. If it were undersea temple robbery against the Nagas, who knows how bloody it would be? Moreover, Leviathan’s task hint also includes trade options, indicating that trade is the way to go!
Da Fei hurriedly confirmed: "If I have this permit, will I not be attacked by the Naga Army?"
The general replied solemnly: "Correct, neither the Naga nor the affiliated direct Fishman Sea Demon tribes will attack you, but those pirates and sea monsters roaming around are not certain."
There really is such a benefit! Pleasantly surprised, Da Fei continued to ask: "I wish to trade the Sea God Sacrifice, can I do that?"
Breathing heavily, the general answered: "Of course, the Sea God Sacrifice consists of high-level pearls and high-level night pearls. These are hot commodities throughout the Empire. As long as you have sufficient and good items, surely there will be cities willing to exchange them. Plus, the Empire’s common currency is the pearl; all cities and islands within the Empire, including hosted wanderers, must complete tribute pearl tasks. You can also exchange surplus pearls for required materials here just as you would trade with humanity."
Pearls are currency? Da Fei finally understood why every time a small island was cleared, several batches of pearls were found! But this currency using pearls is quite inconvenient, isn’t it? It takes up space in the hold. How could it compare to gold coins, which can be held in equipment bars anytime with millions and billions without pressure?
Suddenly recalling something, Da Fei asked: "I have a small island in the Lighthouse Islands, if I accept this trade permit, will the nearby Naga Tribe not be hostile to my territory?"
The general was stunned, then immediately lifted his spirits and replied quickly: "Of course! But the premise is you must offer enough pearls as tribute every month!"
So that’s how it is! Meaning, this unexpected trade permit is the key to unlocking the oriental world! These conditions are completely acceptable!
Excitedly, Da Fei declared: "Alright, I agree!"
— System Prompt: You have accepted the general’s ceasefire request, the battle is over! You have gained 3.6 million experience, and acquired the "Naga Empire Trade Permit."
— System Prompt: You have acquired the "Naga Empire Trade Permit," the Naga Empire has canceled their hostility towards you.
Your territory in the Naga Empire, Lighthouse Island City, has canceled its hostile relationship with nearby Naga Tribes, you must tribute 100 units of pearls within the month to maintain the current relationship.
— System Prompt: You have achieved "Trader of the Eastern World," your world reputation +1000, and your reputation within the Naga Empire has become "Respect"! You are the first player to trade in the Eastern World, gaining the achievement "First Trader of the Eastern World". You have earned a reward by increasing the skill level cap of the Bargaining Skill by +1, your Bargaining Skill has been upgraded to Master-level. You obtain the Master-level Negotiation Skill: Jewelry Trade.
Master-level Negotiation Skill: Bargaining allows for reducing purchasing costs by up to 30%, selling goods for up to 30% more. Each level increases effect by 5%. Sub-skills "Food Trade" "Textile Trade" "Luxury Trade" "Precious Metal Trade".
Jewelry Trade: Players can purchase higher grade, larger quantities of jewelry items from trading posts.
...
Da Fei laughed aloud, Brother is still the world’s first trader, this first achievement reward directly grants a Master Skill, especially designed for Brother to peddle pearls here! More importantly, Bargaining skill is also a necessary skill for applying Military Transporter, the higher the Bargaining skill level, the more leaps and bounds for the new profession!
Hahaha, turning swords into trade routes was the right move! Otherwise, fighting wars daily, Brother and the rest wouldn’t withstand sleepless nights either.
Da Fei laughed heartily, sliding down from the top of the stone cave, arriving triumphantly before the general and laughed: "General, we have recognized each other through battle, past offenses were inevitable."
The general shook his head: "Issuing a trade permit was not within my duties, but through the sacrifice of so many troops, winning over a warrior’s pledge to join us is considered as credit from defeat. I hope the warrior can make achievements in the Naga Empire, the longer the warrior interacts with us, the more you’ll realize standing on our side is the wise choice! I’m exhausted, warrior, please go."
Da Fei raised his eyebrows, did his words imply choosing sides between the Naga and Siren? Right, now Brother is at peace with the Naga, how will the Siren view this?
Indeed, it’s time to see the Siren’s task rewards.
(I’m dizzy! Yangan drank too much and made an upload error in the previous Chapter! Will correct it immediately! Thanks to the reader’s reminder, Da Fei’s free attribute points in the previous Chapter were 84 points. Also, dear readers, Happy Spring Festival, Yangan may only post once in the next three days, but will strive to add more after New Year celebrations.) (To be continued.
