Chapter 251 -235: Do You Know About the Dragon Tomb?
“””
Da Fei was feeling annoyed when suddenly a message notification sounded. He looked at it — Dragon Scale, Chairman Ma Yinglong.
Ma Yinglong got straight to the point, “Brother Fei, the British just leaked a video of a giant ship. Have you seen it?”
Sure enough, it’s situations like these that would have bigwigs like you the most worried and sensitive, huh? Da Fei inwardly sighed and bitterly smiled, “I’ve seen it. The guild channel’s blowing up.”
Ma Yinglong laughed heartily, “Brother Fei, don’t use the guild to agitate me. I can’t handle any more excitement.”
Da Fei chuckled, “How could that be? Chairman Ma is quite good at joking.”
Ma Yinglong said seriously, “I’m not joking. The British have completely disrupted our development route with this thing. Especially since the UK and the United States are staunch allies who have always liked to target China, Brother Fei, you are their number one target. Our Dragon Slayers, being part of the Dark Alliance, are even more of a priority target. Our guild’s future is rather bleak!”
Whoa! Are you putting the hope of salvation on me? Who isn’t worried, like me? Da Fei sighed, “We have a lot of people in the China Region, one spit each and it’ll drown them together.”
Ma Yinglong laughed, “That’s right. We’ll handle the manpower, but for high-level plays, we can only count on Brother Fei!”
So straightforward! Count on me? Their high level is because the entire country is funding their team’s expenses. Can you guys help me pay off my billion Gold Coin debt first?
Da Fei bitterly smiled, “No guarantees at all. Let’s wait until we enter the National War Zone before talking. Maybe by then chairman Ma’s guild will have a giant ship too.”
Ma Yinglong bitterly laughed, “Not hoping for a giant ship, just hoping for something to sink that giant ship. In any case, Brother Fei, hold steady!”
Damn, if they have something to sink giant ships, then what chances does my big ship have? That kind of stuff mustn’t exist!
No sooner had he ended the conversation with Ma Yinglong than Da Fei’s message notification sounded again. He already guessed who it was, and sure enough, it was the Goddess! Are you representing Star to inquire if I’m feeling strained? I can honestly tell you, it hurts a lot! Don’t believe it? Just feel it.
Bu Feiyan laughed, “Mr. Da Fei, the Brits rolled out a giant ship, and there’s a British player claiming it’s specially to deal with you. You’re too formidable!”
As if it needs saying? Da Fei chuckled, “Not that formidable. I’m just pondering what to do if I encounter this giant ship.”
Bu Feiyan said solemnly, “It’s Mr. Da Fei who forced the Brits to change their original development route. They’re paying the price for it, so even before the war starts, you’ve won a round, at least representing our China Region. In any case, the opponent’s Ark is not fully operational yet and needs to be towed by small boats, so currently, it’s not a threat.”
Da Fei exclaimed, “What would it be like when fully operational?”
Bu Feiyan said seriously, “Don’t you notice anything different about that ship compared to usual ones?”
Da Fei cleared his throat, “There are no sails and masts.”
Bu Feiyan laughed, “Exactly. Once they equip masts and sails, it’ll be like giving wings to a tiger. Even flying might not be impossible. Our tech team analyzed it, and this giant ship must have been obtained through a super mission that requires them to complete tasks to gradually perfect it. Our goal is to try every means possible to interfere with their task progress and turn their giant ship into a burden. Also, the British have many competitors in the European Union Zone, who are natural allies to us. We’ll find ways to strengthen our ties with them…”
The Goddess was eloquently talking, and Da Fei was stunned! So the ship had masts and sails, and could fly? Whoa! Is this entering the Sky Battleship era already? Damn, how’s a regular player like me supposed to keep up with this?
Bu Feiyan concluded, “That’s all for our emergency response plan with Ninth Heaven. We’ll slowly discuss the details later. I’ve just given you a broad overview of our plan.”
Da Fei felt his heart leap: “Notifying me?” Damn, am I getting a VIP treatment now?
Bu Feiyan laughed, “Of course. As the world’s top guild leader and the first to slay a Demigod, you are a pivotal figure in our China Region. Our plans should certainly be known to you!”
Ha ha ha! A pivotal person! Indeed, the VIP treatment! This kind of praise from the Goddess feels tremendously good! I’m not fighting alone, ha ha!
Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something and asked, “Right, since this giant ship is obtained by doing a super mission, can we in the China Region also develop this mission?”
Bu Feiyan laughed and sighed, “Of course not. Super missions above Epic Level are fair but unique. Before the British developed this mission, anyone from any region worldwide had the chance to trigger it. But once the British got there first, the other regions lost their chance.”
Da Fei replied, “I see.”
Bu Feiyan laughed, “Alright, Mr. Da Fei, take your time, and don’t let external factors easily disrupt your development strategy.”
Da Fei chuckled, “Thank you, and by the way, just call me Da Fei from now on. ‘Mr.’ sounds a bit pretentious.”
Bu Feiyan laughed, “In that case, I might as well call you Brother Fei, like the others. Brother Fei? Any objections?”
Da Fei was delighted, “No objections, no objections, feels very intimate!”
“Ha ha, then I won’t disturb Brother Fei any longer, goodbye.”
“Ha ha, goodbye, goodbye!”
After ending the conversation with the Goddess, Da Fei felt a warmth surge in his heart. Being able to talk with the Goddess feels tremendously good!
Suddenly Da Fei was startled! Speaking of which, I’m already thirty, with assets in the game over tens of millions. Ordinary women don’t really catch my eye anymore. Is there any possibility for me and the Goddess?
Damn! Mere tens of millions? Even Hemorrhoid Ointment has assets over a hundred million!
Thinking about his personal issues, Da Fei couldn’t help but sigh in dismay. What does it mean that money can’t buy love? Seems like I’ve reached that level too? Life, huh.
But wait, if I stand higher and go further, what then?
Yes! Doing other industries might be impossible, but at least in the game, my future still holds endless potential, and having assets over a hundred million isn’t a dream! Da Fei felt a surge of excitement.
As he was excitedly lost in thought, another message arrived.
Da Fei looked — Invincible Soldier. Damn! Adding chaos! Do you think you’re a chairman and a beauty who can make things happen and have the ability to console or worry about me? I want to scold you ‘Get lost,’ but it would appear that I’m being snobbish. Oh well, inherently shallow, can’t change this habit.
Da Fei impatiently said, “It’s nothing, you all do whatever you need to do, just don’t have the same poor reputation and stay stuck off the ship by the time I get back.”
Invincible Soldier quickly said, “Brother Fei, it’s good that you’re okay. We’ve been farming reputation day and night recently and ended up getting a big mission. We’ll report it to Brother Fei.”
Da Fei was surprised, “A big mission?”
Invincible Soldier quickly said, “Brother Fei, look at the screenshot!”
— Chain Quest “Trial of the Warrior”: Warrior, your contributions in Elorin City are clear to all; your reputation in Elorin City is growing daily. We believe you have the potential to be one of the kingdom’s top ten youths, so we’ve decided to conduct a long-term cultivation trial on you. We hope you overcome one difficulty after another to become the kingdom’s finest youth. May the blessings of the Nature Goddess always be with you…
Da Fei was stunned, “Whoa, a chain quest! You guys managed to get such a task!”
A so-called chain quest means one task follows another, progressing from easy to difficult, with rewards granted for each completed segment. Completing the final task would yield unimaginable rewards.
As mentioned earlier, normal players’ ordinary heroes can level up through personal efforts, becoming God-level Heroes. This chain quest is one of those ways! Of course, the farther one progresses, the more difficult it becomes, but still far better than those with no way out.
Da Bing quickly said, “Yes, reporting to Brother Fei, so we can help Brother Fei in the future.”
Good, very good! I am most pleased! Da Fei said contentedly, “Great, keep it up!”
Da Bing laughed, “Sure, Brother Fei, take your time.”
After ending the conversation with Da Bing, Da Fei felt deeply moved! It’s one thing for the Brits to roll out a giant ship, but even two random people I brought in without second thought can take on a chain quest. They also have the chance to jump through the Dragon Gate – what does this mean? It shows that the Hero Continent is full of opportunities!
An inexplicable sense of urgency arose in Da Fei’s mind. Although Da Fei’s initial goal in entering the game was to make money and he was smug after earning two million, thinking he could just play casually and live a worry-free life thereafter. Perhaps it is indeed so.
But people are like this–once pushed to a certain height and acquired status, they are unwilling to be replaced. Yes, for people at this level, money is no longer the primary pursuit. If you’re no longer the top expert, will the Goddess care about this “infamous disgrace”? Da Fei felt urgency for his position as the top master.
He must seize the current advantage, stand higher, and go further!
Da Fei looked up at the Ice Ocean under the night sky with knitted brows when suddenly he noticed Bato beside him, also frowning with a face of sorrow. Damn! It’s just about catching some whales, no need to be like this. It must still be about the ship’s masts.
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat when he said the solution for the masts was very dangerous? But he’s in danger, not me! Within the entire fleet, I don’t own a single ship, so even if the fleet is wiped out, it’s their loss, not mine. Why should I be afraid? If worse comes to worst, I’ll just die and respawn at Fire Dragon Island, sail the boat and take off! I’m absolutely safe here!
And based on the game’s logic, it’s bound to trigger some story mission, right? The mast worth a mission must not be something ordinary from the shipyard, right? Yes, to contend against the British God-level Battleship, I must also step up!
Da Fei promptly asked, “General, I’m very interested in the solution to the masts you mentioned earlier. Do you need any help from me?”
As expected, Bato’s eyebrows twitched, “Are you sure you want to help?”
Da Fei nodded, “The general has helped me so much, I should reciprocate.”
Bato’s spirit lifted, and his beard shivered, “Do you know about the Dragon Tomb?”
Da Fei was stunned, “Dragon Tomb?”
Bato said seriously, “Aging giant dragons, before dying, will use their last strength to fly to treacherous lands unreachable by mortals for eternal rest!” (To be continued.
