Chapter 1014 - 953: Whose Connections Matter More
While Bloodrose Holy Spear was introducing and speaking, the team Junxiang was in had already reached the bottommost level of the Demon Light prison. At this moment, the prison still had tall, majestic demon statues on guard, and the cages inside the prison were empty, without any new "batteries."
It seems like my handiwork has severely frustrated the Prince’s artificial god-making plan. And thinking that the god he wanted to create might be one of the members of the Demon God Guxin Family, Da Fei started recording the current scene very attentively, as this might become the battlefield for a future God Slaying operation.
Then, the Junxiang followed the team to the Space Gate in the deepest part of the prison. Back then, there was a boss-level Magma Dragon guarding here, but now it was piled with supplies as high as a mountain.
Remembering that Magma Dragon, Da Fei suddenly recalled how he fed it a piece of fire attribute divine level fragment, and then the dragon hid in a volcano. What level must the Magma Dragon have reached after all these days? Could this operation be about overwhelming that Magma Dragon to death with sheer numbers?
The thought of the Divine Dragon he had cultivated to wreak havoc about to be overwhelmed made Da Fei feel a hundred kinds of helplessness. Alas, what a pity for that piece of divine level fragment.
Now, the team Junxiang was in also entered the Space Gate, and the scene shifted, placing them on a vast grassland; finally, the Divine Domain Space.
Elena explained it as a twisted space, a map crumpled into a ball, where all the place names on the map overlap, allowing access to various places around the world from here.
Looking around, the entire grassland and the neighboring scenes were already filled to the brim with secretive troop convoys and defensive fortifications, and sporadic battles had already begun while orders in the regional channel kept flashing nonstop.
It turned out the war had already started, and once again Da Fei was astonished by the collective prowess of the large guilds! This is the power of professional experts in big guilds; if they truly focus on something, it’s indeed difficult to thwart them.
Bloodrose Holy Spear patiently continued to explain: "There are dozens to hundreds of scenarios here, and each scene has an undead BOSS. These scenarios shuffle randomly at intervals, but six linked scenarios at the center of the map won’t move. We are to assist the dwarf player, Skyshattering Thunder, in building a city here by escorting and delivering supplies we’ve seen on the way over. This isn’t really a problem, so our main task remains to scout the path."
So many people helping Skyshattering Thunder build a city? He’s quite influential!
Da Fei felt a bit peeved and probed, "Do those six scenarios not have a BOSS?"
Bloodrose Holy Spear nodded, "Yeah, no BOSS. Skyshattering Thunder’s plan is to use walls to encircle all six scenarios, making the enclosed area count as city territory, which can raise the city level. Dwarves have a particular fondness for active volcanoes, using them to forge high-quality weapons. So, Skyshattering Thunder’s next goal is a massive smithy near a volcano and training level 7 magma dragons. With this transit base, we can essentially control the unknown map of the entire China Region, which makes unnecessary engagements in the National War Zone with other countries unnecessary; it’s like having an additional development option..."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, meaning they haven’t discovered the Magma Dragon in the volcano yet! It’s a ticking time bomb, getting stronger and more destructive over time! And Skyshattering Thunder is planning to develop the volcano? Isn’t this courting disaster? For a moment, Da Fei couldn’t help but gloat a little.
However, with so many high-end players and so much military strength, the Magma Dragon, no matter how strong, will not escape death. Even if Skyshattering Thunder suffers great losses, he’ll still be propped up by all the major guilds, so it’s not really anything significant. Thinking of it this way, Da Fei felt disgruntled again. Simply put, it’s jealousy.
Being so awesome yet no one helps me build a city, and it’s not like Skyshattering Thunder is some bigwig in the circle; why does he get so many guilds to assist? More importantly, if he can do it, why can’t I?
It’s not that I can’t; it’s that I’ve never spoken up, denying others the chance to curry favor! Suddenly, Da Fei realized the countermeasure for when others discover Lighthouse Islands!
Under normal circumstances, once Skyshattering Thunder discovers my Lighthouse Island City, he’d surely encourage others or NPCs to wipe out my territory from the Prince’s perspective. I won’t even mention the NPCs, but would other big guilds dare ignore my importance?
Exactly, now it’s about whose importance is greater! When others find Lighthouse Islands, they’d probably be astonished enough to touch base with me, presenting the opportunity to ask the big guild to transport a batch of supplies to help build the city! My importance far exceeds that of Skyshattering Thunder, and without saying more, Bloodrose would surely give me face. Even the friends at Ninth Heaven would pitch in!
That is to say, not only would they not attack me by then, but they may end up assisting me upon my request! Hahaha, let’s do it just like that! Understanding this brought Da Fei an immense joy!
Oh, concerning Naga areas, alcohol and weapons should both sell well, and the Dwarf Kingdom happens to produce alcohol and weapons, so I’ll seize this opportunity to have the big guild transport a large batch of goods to the island for me. Speaking of alcohol, I also produce high-quality Dew Liquor here, making this even more needless to mention! As for weapons, it seems Skyshattering Thunder is a professional blacksmith?
Alright, pal, I’ll specifically purchase weapons from you, let’s see what you have to say! Even if you don’t want to, the big guild will pressure you into agreeing. Hahaha!
However, it’s still necessary to check if weapons and alcohol sell well.
So Da Fei hurriedly switched to his AFK account, summoning Xiluo to ask, "Xiluo, are alcohol and weapons particularly good to sell in the Naga Kingdom?"
Xiluo instantly replied, "As expected of the boss, you understand the market. However, the Naga are also discerning, and low-tier alcohol and weapons appear as scrap metal to them; not only do they not fetch a good price, but they lose heavily on shipping, whereas exceptionally high-grade alcohol and weapons are a different story. For instance, the 20 units of high-proof liquor I transported last time, with an alcohol content exceeding 65%, was high-grade and sold for 10-20 times the normal price, sometimes even more. Ordinary pirate rum and beer, forget about Naga not even giving it a glance..."
Da Fei frowned, realizing making money from the Naga isn’t so straightforward? But no problem, with the Second Prince as my strong backing, and leveraging the power of the Dwarf Kingdom, how could I not have good goods? And with connections to big guild players, why worry about transporting goods?
In no time, Da Fei was calculating the future developments meticulously. And no matter the calculations, a precondition must be met, which is to offer profits and invite all major guilds, including the Royal Family and even Skyshattering Thunder, whom I can allow to partake without thinking of old grudges!
By then, they won’t have a choice but to collaborate, yes, I’ll be badass for once and have all the big guilds in the China Region work for me!
