Chapter 441 - 413: Can the Blood Eagle Be Ridden?
Supporting Ouling? So, the entire Bloodrose Team is gonna help Brother Fei’s Ouling achieve her dreams? Which means they’re gonna help cultivate heroes for Brother Fei’s alt account?
Damn! In such a blink of an eye, Da Fei was genuinely moved! Just a small alt that hasn’t even been in the guild for two hours is receiving such care and concern from the organization. What virtues do I have to deserve this? I must thank them!
Brother Xiang: "Thanks everyone, thank you for the organization’s concern!"
Little Fang and Little Li also hastily said: "Thank you, everyone!"
Bloodrose Holy Spear chuckled: "Anyway, everyone just lost a battle and is itching for a rematch. If we don’t make a comeback, I bet we won’t be able to focus on instances again. So, let’s take this chance to recruit and get our revenge!"
Bloodrose Qiqi cheered: "Yeah! Time for revenge!"
Bloodrose Holy Spear said in annoyance: "Knew you weren’t in the mood for instances!"
Bloodrose Holy Sword expressed confusion: "But isn’t Chang Liang clearly our objective rival? Does this mean we’re going to confront them again?"
Bloodrose Holy Spear sneered: "That Chang Liang is known as a cash cow that can generate hundreds of thousands worth for the guild every minute. If he deigns to step on us, it’s an honor. So why not be cheeky and ask for a few more steps? After all, we can’t generate profits, and instead, we’re like vases that cost the guild thousands every minute. Let’s just keep him company to the end!"
The whole team burst into laughter: "Gun Sister is right, we’ll stick with him to the end!"
Bloodrose Holy Spear made a final decision: "That’s settled then, let’s meet up in Eastern Wilderness Town, buy up troops citywide, and wave the banner of revenge!"
"Yay!"
Da Fei took a long breath of relief. Great! Really great. From their analysis and reasoning just now, it shows that their gaming skills are quite high, and so it’s really reliable to entrust the task of supporting Ouling to them. What’s more important is that they don’t care about benefits; they’re all about understanding the big picture, so the chances of success are huge. Anyway, I’ve got high hopes for you!
However, isn’t such impulsiveness exactly what highlights the rascally nature of the Bloodrose Team? No choice, this is the flamboyant style of a tycoon with too much money to spend. Indeed, it’s quite a hassle to have such people as enemies. But for now, let’s not mention Bloodrose; Brother has already offended the Royal Family’s tycoon. So, let Brother focus and deal with them with all his might! I have to impress them with absolute overwhelming power and an even more rascally attitude until these tycoons lose their temper!
Now, Brother Xiang’s alt has followed the team out of the instance, and was teleported to Eastern Wilderness Town again. Then, the regional channel of the whole Eastern Wilderness Town was filled with recruitment ads from the Bloodrose Guild, a mighty spectacle.
Instantly, the entire Eastern Wilderness was stirred! Furthermore, it alarmed players developing in neighboring towns. Players from the neighboring towns expressed that they would immediately bring their troops to support the Bloodrose’s cause for revenge. And the network and appeal of the beauties are always astonishing; many single Mage-type players also transported themselves from all over the Alliance to Eastern Wilderness Town to play the hero. These bachelor Mage players actually share the same strategy as Phoenix Feather, which is to cast a couple of lightning spells and then run off, annoying player-led troops to death. Even though Beastmen have unique passive skills like "Anti-Destruction," "Anti-Darkness," "Anti-Light," etc., and are not afraid of magic, how can they endure a multitude of foes?
In short, Bloodrose created such a desperate revengeful stance aiming to scare Dragon Slayer Chang Liang into retreat. And Chang Liang’s strength needed no proving; he could continue to adopt an aloof stance, implying he’s too busy to stoop to battling average players and thus avoiding confrontation.
However, all these have nothing to do with Da Fei’s alt; time to hang with the squad.
Da Fei then switched over to his main account, taking Selvia and Anlicia with him. Before leaving, he took one last look at the overall state of the city:
— City Sanitation Score: 73. (The environment is good, but still faces pollution problems.)
— City Safety Score: 41. (Warning: Enemies are lurking on the outskirts of the territory; safety score is related to the military strength comparison of both sides.)
— City Culture Score: 0. (Warning: Only by enhancing the city’s cultural quality can you attract more high-level talents to settle.)
— City Prosperity Score: 0. (Warning: You need to engage in trade to enhance your city’s prosperity. Low prosperity leads to citizens leaving and city bankruptcy.)
Hahaha, not bad at all! Even after installing the Necromancer Calamity, my sanitation score still maintains a high standard of 73. Once my hospital is built, combined with the expansion of sewers and increasing Slime Monsters, reaching 100 isn’t just a dream! And what makes me even more pleased is the higher safety score—could it be the many Holy Vines I planted improved our military strength ratio? Haha! Good, the base is steadily developing, and I’ll be at ease even when going out to sea. Now, I can leave with a peace of mind.
Of course, Da Fei didn’t realize that at this moment, along the Pool of Radiance coast, a huge army of 200,000 Demons was propelled to build intensively, beginning work along the entire line. The reason the city’s safety score increased instead of decreased was that the Demon Race’s Fog Demons shielded the military strength, causing a serious error in the city panel data.
...
With a flash of light, Da Fei and his two Vice Heroes appeared in Elorin.
At that moment, players nearby the Teleportation Array were astounded: "Da Fei is here! Da Fei actually came!"
Isn’t that obvious? Bro singlehandedly flipped the Eight-Nation Alliance, so do you think he gives a damn about these petty things in the National service?
Da Fei strutted directly to the Ranger Guild, only to see the Guild Leader, Instructor Jilrien, again. Two days in the game and Jilrien’s two faces were bloodshot red! Holy shit, did he stay up for two nights straight playing mahjong or what?
Seeing Da Fei’s arrival, Jilrien clapped his hands and said, "You’ve come at just the right time, I have some research results on the Blood Eagle that I want to tell you!"
Da Fei exclaimed with joy, "Student is here exactly for this matter, please enlighten me, Instructor!"
Jilrien nodded, "I’ve been going through all sorts of flying beast data for the past two days and found that whether it’s a Dragon-Eagle, a Griffin, a Pegasus, or a Two-legged Flying Dragon, to equip them with gear, they must be of at least medium size! If the flying beast isn’t big enough, it means it’s not strong enough to fly while carrying equipment. That said, your Blood Eagle must continue to grow and reach at least a medium size! Its current small size is absolutely not enough!"
So size is the key? Da Fei raised his eyebrow and busily asked, "Then Instructor, when can my Blood Eagle grow to a medium size?"
Jilrien shook his head, "I’m not sure. Your Blood Eagle’s existence itself is beyond my imagination. But what I can be sure of is, growing to a medium size will require several times the effort it took to grow from tiny to small. Moreover, if you want to equip it with gear, you must learn the Lord System skill ’Armed Forces.’"
— Armed Forces: A hero can equip their troops with gear, enhancing the troops’ attributes. For each level of the Armed Forces skill increased, the troops gain one additional Equipment Bar.
Da Fei suddenly understood! It’s actually related to this legendary Tycoon skill after all! Thinking about it, the day of the competition after wiping out the South Korean girl, Bro also witnessed the fragility of the Elite Army, and Bro indeed planned to train this skill. However, due to the game’s balance, using equipment designed for players on troops greatly reduces attributes which is very uneconomical, hence there is the concept of "Military Equipment" in the game.
Da Fei then asked, "Then Instructor, what kind of gear would the Blood Eagle use?"
Jilrien nodded his head, "Good question. In my view, the Blood Eagle’s equipment must be custom made. I know a few Elf Dwarf blacksmith friends who specialize in making gear for Griffins and are experts in this field. Anyway, when your Blood Eagle grows to that point, I will help you get it custom made. Right now, the key for you is to continue raising the Blood Eagle, which will be a long and arduous process. You should be prepared mentally."
Da Fei nodded, "Thank you for the teaching, Instructor. I understand."
Indeed, the more awesome the thing, the harder it is to obtain! But no matter how difficult, raising the Blood Eagle is worth it. At the very least without Little Fei Bro wouldn’t be able to handle today’s crisis. Suddenly, Da Fei thought of Little Pig Run that could fly!
Da Fei took a deep breath and asked, "Instructor, is it possible for this Blood Eagle to be ridden like those Griffin Knights’ mounts?"
"Ridden?!" Jilrien’s bloodshot eyes widened dramatically!
Da Fei’s own eyebrows twitched, anxiously anticipating his answer!
Finally, Jilrien chuckled, "At the very least, it has to grow to a large size before we talk about riding! Right now, it’s not even medium-sized, you’re thinking too much."
Da Fei laughed out loud! As long as the NPC doesn’t deny it, that means it’s possible! To the former Bro, considering whether to attend Tsinghua University or Beijing University was indeed thinking too much, but in the game, Bro is extremely confident; there’s nothing he can’t do! As long as Little Fei can reach the realm of being ridden one day, any training efforts Bro makes now are worthwhile and will remain unwavering! Little Fei truly is Bro’s own son, wahahaha!
Leaving the Ranger Guild, Da Fei headed straight to the Chamber of Commerce Administration to find Coltner.
As soon as Da Fei entered the hall of the Chamber of Commerce Administration, he saw a throng of people, with dozens to hundreds of players with the "Blood Sea Guild" tag above their heads gathered together. Yoohoo! Blood Sea Studio finally formed a Guild too, huh?
And Da Fei’s entrance instantly became the focus of the entire hall.
"Da Fei!" Sea and Sky burst out laughing, "I heard your Chamber of Commerce got trampled again, but rest assured, we are too busy to trample on you!"
Da Fei shook his head, clearly annoyed, "Bro is here to trample back, got time to check it out together?"
Sea and Sky sneered coldly, "No time! I know why you’re so arrogant and smug. In the end, the life and death of player members don’t impact you, you’re walking the NPC members route. I really want to see, when others kill your NPC members, what kind of face you’ll make!"
Da Fei’s face couldn’t help but change! That’s right, it seemed like Bro recruited a few NPC fishermen into the Chamber of Commerce this morning. If those mad dogs go all out to kill NPCs, Bro’s going to take a huge loss. NPC fishermen are not easy to recruit and if they die, they’re gone!
But the change in Da Fei’s expression was exactly what Sea and Sky was looking for, as he pointed at Da Fei’s face and laughed wildly, "Look, look, that stupid-ass face!"
For a time, the entire hall of Blood Sea members roared with laughter!
Da Fei scoffed, "A clown house full of moronic kids!" (To be continued. If you like this novel, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.com.)
