Chapter 462 - 433: The Treasure Chest Safely Delivered
"""
People are blind and follow the crowd. When one or two merchant ships’ players approached the place where the lightning flashed with a skeptical attitude, other trading players didn’t want to fall behind either, especially since the one who made this statement was Da Fei, a famous figure in the China Region. He surely wouldn’t joke around with ordinary players, right?
So, one or two people led a group, and a group led everyone. For a moment, a hundred sails competed, and the mobilization effect was surprisingly good!
One Sword Eastward smiled proudly, "I just don’t believe so many people can’t stop it, even if it’s an electric pig, it will tire its hands out!"
The team members sighed, "There will be a lot of cursing in a bit!"
Da Fei waved his hand and said seriously, "A true warrior dared to face the bleak life directly and scowled at the thousands pointing fingers. Start rowing!"
Everyone was invigorated, "Brother Fei is right! Let’s go, everyone!"
The full moon hung in the west, and the night breeze was cool. Da Fei stood at the bow, steadfastly gazing at the bustling night scene of Elorin Port in the distance. Soon, behind him, a flash of thunder, with rolling thunder echoing across the sea and sky! Da Fei raised an eyebrow but wasn’t moved, because the scene behind him was too beautiful for him to dare look!
The team members roared with excitement, "It’s on! A lot of ships are on fire!"
One Sword Eastward laughed heartily, "We’ve succeeded! The Sea Monster is held up!"
Da Bing excitedly shouted, "Keep rowing, everyone!"
Then the regional channel erupted with curses, "Everyone, run, it’s a Sea Monster! We got fooled by that trash Da Fei!"
"Da Fei, that dead trash led monsters to harm us! Liar! You #%&$$#&***!"
"*+&*&%$#@*&*!"
At this moment, Brother Hao Ono Shinichiro was watching with interest as he started recording the majestic sea fireworks feast, a barely noticeable sinister smile on his lips.
Satisfied! He was really satisfied with Da Fei. Where else could you find such a powerful yet characteristically low-class national scum? One Sword Eastward wasn’t bad either. Although he was way behind Da Fei in strength, he was more insidious. This was what they called a troublesome little ghost, worth focusing on training! This group of university students was also very blind, all money-worshipping without opinions, a virus of Chinese society. When viruses gather, it turns cancerous, got it! My plan is officially named ’Cancer Plan,’ haha, wahahaha!
...
Finally, they arrived at Elorin, and the team members cheered. Da Fei let out a long sigh of relief, saved the Fishman, and kept the treasure chest! My awesome self, no matter how forward-thinking, I didn’t lose out! Haha, wahahaha!
Meanwhile, the entire city channel was still filled with abuse directed at Da Fei’s trash. No need to say, it was the merchant players who had died at sea. For merchant players, dying once with the ship lost means significant loss, right? But, right now, I also don’t have money to compensate! At the bottom line, I paid a massive reputation price anyway. However, between reputation and strength, which is more important? Of course, strength. As long as there’s strength, bad reputation is still reputation, right? Besides, I’m used to it, staying calm!
The Octopus, which returned earlier, was already docked. Anlicia and Da Wei were waiting at the pier. Watching the returning Narwhal, Da Wei excitedly said, "Captain, they’re back, and everyone is fine!"
Anlicia sighed with satisfaction, then shook her head, "I won’t be Captain soon. Kid, you had fun with me this time, so as I said before, I’ll recommend you to further study at the Farolan Magic Academy. Here—" She took out a letter.
—System Prompt: You received an enrollment recommendation letter from Lady Anlicia, which allows you to study at the Farolan High-level Magic Academy Research Institute.
Da Wei suddenly felt joy, "Thank you! Thank you, Lady!"
Anlicia shook her head, "It’s nothing. You have the qualification. You deserve this."
Suddenly, Da Wei recalled something and hesitated, "Lady, you’re the president’s... Deputy Officer. Giving me such an essential opportunity isn’t quite right, is it?"
Anlicia snapped, "As an Elf, you’re too ignorant! First, the president is human, not Elf. The Elf High Magic Academy doesn’t teach alien races knowledge. Second, if an Elf who learns alien skills can get special entry into the Academy Research Institute for research work. The Kobold Shaman skill you learned is an alien skill, making you eligible for further study. Also, having met me allows you to skip the mess of entry exams, and by recommending you, I can gain extra credit. No need to thank me!"
Da Wei suddenly realized, "I see! But I still must thank you, Lady. By the way, what will I research at the institute?"
Anlicia narrowed her eyes, "Be researched!"
Da Wei was left dumbfounded! However, getting into the research institute was indeed a big deal. Da Wei then cheered in the dormitory, "I discovered the strategy to enter the High-level Magic Academy! It’s to learn alien skills! Then get Brother Fei Little Honey to write you a recommendation letter!"
The dormitory was astonished, "Is the High Magic Academy so awesome?"
Da Bing immediately snapped back, "Isn’t that obvious? A school only Elves can enter, with hidden exclusive spells only they can learn!" Then he looked around the dormitory seriously, "This is confidential. Don’t let unrelated people know. Understand?"
Everyone nodded, "Understood!"
Da Bing nodded, "Good you understand! Once we know the strategy, I can lead everyone through the chain quest of Elorin Outstanding Youth Assessment that Da Wei passed before. Da Wei’s Kobold skill book was dropped during that quest. By then, everyone can go to the academy to learn hidden skills. Even if we don’t play anymore, selling the account will be worth ten or hundreds of thousands!"
Everyone was horribly moved, "Understood! Understood, listen to Bing Ge!"
...
As Da Wei and Anlicia waved greetings, Da Fei’s ship docked. Just then, a group of NPC coast guards rushed over, pointing at the Fishman, "These alien creatures cannot enter the city freely and must wait for quarantine!"
Damn! Da Fei felt troubled, "This too?"
Anlicia came over and laughed, "Let me handle these procedures. Remember to order a batch of fine wine and food for these Fishman. I promised them."
Seemed like there was no other way. This is another difference between troops and NPCs. If Da Fei brought Fishman troops, they’d be treated uniformly and couldn’t enter the city, confined to the garrison. But Fishman NPCs are residents, the cornerstone of urban population growth, and subjected to various local-related household registration customs and immigration regulations.
Da Fei nodded, "Alright, they are the greatest contributors, I’ll order the best food and drink to entertain them!"
Gurgle gurgle happily said, "Gurgle gurgle, want to drink!"
Da Fei laughed heartily, "Don’t worry, there’s plenty of wine to drink, go on, be good!"
"Gurgle gurgle, obey the master!"
Now for the treasure chest, Da Fei waved his hand, "Let’s go, move the treasure chest to the Chamber of Commerce office for thorough research! Hurry up!"
Everyone was invigorated, "Let’s go!"
When Da Fei’s team moved the treasure chest into the city, it immediately caught the attention of numerous players, "Look there, Da Fei is back! At the dock!"
Instantly, many players gathered around. The merchant players who suffered earlier surrounded them, blocking Da Fei’s team tightly, angrily cursing, "Trash Da Fei, you caused me to lose my ship and cargo. If you don’t compensate me 200,000 Gold Coins, you can’t leave!"
"I lost 300,000 Gold Coins!"
"Yeah! If he doesn’t compensate, we’ll flood the forums every day!"
And some onlookers took the opportunity to fan the flames, "Are you all stupid? Didn’t you see them carrying a treasure chest chased by a Sea Monster? It’s clear they used you as a buffer!"
"Indeed, still hoping for compensation, so naive and innocent!"
"If Da Fei were afraid of you guys spamming him, he wouldn’t be Da Fei, haha!"
Da Fei secretly sighed, helplessly shaking his head. What could be said now? Even if he wanted to compensate, he had no money! Anyway, block all you want, curse all you want; soon, the NPC city administration will come to clean up.
Seeing Da Fei’s indifferent attitude, the victims were even more infuriated, and someone yelled, "Rob their treasure chest to compensate for our loss!"
The merchants, now blinded by anger, roared in response, "Charge!" For a moment, the crowd surged!
Da Fei was suddenly shocked! No way? Can you rob in the city?
Da Bing quickly reacted, shouting, "Everyone surround the chest!"
—Team Channel: Your team is maliciously attacked by player "Green Leaf Shaluo," you can lawfully retaliate!
—Team Channel: Your team is attacked by player...
No way! They dare to go red in the city, huh?
At that moment, the city’s warning sirens blared, and the swiftly reacting guards quickly ended the riot and dispersed the crowd. At this point, the city channel’s angry abuse reached an unprecedented peak! Even as calm as Da Fei, he couldn’t help being moved! Damn it, there must be someone instigating behind the scenes taking this opportunity to mess with me, right? Mess with me, right? Whatever, keep moving the chest, keep going!
Finally, after all these ups and downs, the big treasure chest finally reached the Chamber of Commerce office! When the chest settled down, Da Fei’s heart, which had been hanging, could finally relax, and the whole team cheered again!
It wasn’t easy! Although it took a lot of opportunism and advantage in salvaging, the transportation was fraught with danger. If I didn’t have high-tech Blood Eagle constantly monitoring the opponent’s movements and timely avoiding them, I wouldn’t have been able to return! Moreover, at the last moment, it was also at the cost of sacrificing my reputation. It’s really not easy!
In short, the normal process of this treasure chest involves Old Laiyi, who gave out the task. I can’t be opportunistic anymore, so I’m not in a hurry to open it now. Da Fei explained this reason to the members, and everyone agreed, "Brother Fei said right, this treasure chest was not easy, must not mess up!"
This is the God-level president’s prestige, no one dares to fight with me. I can finally slowly devour it alone! Da Fei smiled contentedly, "Alright, everyone worked hard, rest if you need to rest, move around if you need to move around, team disbanded!"
"Okay, Brother Fei!"
Wahahaha!
