Chapter 467 - 438: The Attempt to Kill the Fishman
Da Fei left the city hall and headed straight for the customs at the dock. At this moment, the merchants on the city channel who had been wronged were still persistently teaming up to curse.
Ah, damn it, other than ignoring, I can only ignore them. Da Fei reached the customs at the dock and found Anlicia and a total of 36 fishmen, big and small.
Anlicia chuckled, "The fishmen’s entry procedures are done. By the way, the president’s gains this time must be huge, huh? How are you going to thank me?"
What the hell, what president? Call me master! You almost screwed me over by leaving your post without permission this time. Da Fei said irritably, "You tell me, how do you want me to thank you?"
Anlicia laughed, "Not asking for much, just give me a luxury ship in the future! I want to be the captain myself!"
— Ah, puh! Da Fei wanted to spit a mouthful of milk at her! But since it’s a matter for the future, let’s discuss it later. Da Fei chuckled, "Alright! No problem, once I’m rich, you could even be the fleet commander!"
Anlicia clapped and laughed, "You said it! No take-backs!"
Da Fei said irritably, "So for now, study hard and strive to become the fleet commander, stop being lazy!"
Anlicia beamed, "I’m not lazy!"
Just then, Selvia added, "I want to be the commander too!"
Damn it! You both want to be captains or commanders, if you all leave, will I still have any little honeys around? Can I still enjoy playing?
Da Fei was in extreme distress, "Everyone study hard, strive for progress every day, and prepare for future challenges! Let’s go!"
No more chit-chatting with them, hurry up and lead the fishmen on the road.
Needless to say, when Da Fei led this group of fishmen NPCs toward the teleportation array, they once again attracted the astonished onlookers among the players, not for anything else, but because being able to "tame" fishmen monsters and bring them into the city was quite a spectacle.
For a while, the city channel was in an uproar: "Hey look, it’s Da Fei again! Just now it was the treasure chest, this time it’s fishmen, what will it be next?"
"Da Fei, this big piece of trash is here again!"
"Everyone come and see Da Fei’s fishmen, it’s going to be awesome this time!"
"Come on, check it out, don’t miss it as you pass by, or you’ll miss a good show!"
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, what’s going on with today’s area channel? Usually, when I walk down the street, nobody dares to even breathe loudly, is it because I killed the Royal Family first and then scammed the merchants, triggering strong public anger?
And just as Da Fei was approaching the teleportation array square, a bunch of players suddenly came running, blocking the street again, it was the Blood Sea Guild! Leading them was the so-called "Brother Tian" named Sea and Sky.
Da Fei frowned, what do they want this time? Looking for trouble? I already wiped out the Royal Family, isn’t that enough to kill one to warn a hundred?
Sea and Sky laughed coldly, "Just caught you! First, it was the treasure chest, then these fishmen slaves. Da Fei, you’ve got quite the haul from this trip out to sea!"
Hah! I’m busy; I don’t have time to chat with you. Da Fei hurriedly turned his head, only to find that the streets behind him were completely blocked by onlookers!
Da Fei’s eyelids twitched in shock, what the heck is happening? Suddenly, an extremely unsettling thought came to Da Fei’s mind: Would they rather risk turning red-named to forcefully kill my fishmen NPCs? It’s not impossible! This Sea and Sky knows that what I fear most is the loss of NPCs!
This is trouble, although Selvia had the resurrection technique, it primarily targeted troops, serving as a game mechanism to compensate and encourage players after battle losses, but it didn’t necessarily work well for NPCs. If troops died in battle, as long as the bodies didn’t stay overnight and weren’t used in a corpse explosion sacrifice, players could resurrect them.
But the time to save NPCs after death was extremely short, and saving NPCs consumed a lot of blue mana, and many NPCs would trigger events upon death leading to an unrecoverable state. For instance, escort NPCs or NPCs accompanying players in missions, once NPCs died, the mission failed, the NPC would leave a long-winded blood-spitting speech, and then they’d simply be gone, the resurrection technique couldn’t revive them! In other words, the NPC world in the game was the most real world, a mortal world! And heroes, and the units designed to fight for them, indeed were the undead existences!
It’s precisely for this reason that players who killed NPCs from the same faction faced the heaviest system punishment! They were, after all, an ambitious and goal-driven guild, would they really risk such a heavy penalty to forcefully kill my NPCs?
And Da Fei’s turn instantly drew a street-side taunt from Sea and Sky: "Da Fei, are you brave enough not to turn your head back?"
For a moment, the members of the Blood Sea Guild echoed the taunt: "Because he’s scared!"
Sea and Sky roared with laughter, "Does everyone know that the legendary Brother Fei fears neither heaven nor earth, nor sun nor grass, but one thing: he’s scared of others killing his NPC! Do you know why?"
The members of the Blood Sea Guild immediately chimed in with laughter, "Because NPCs are hard to resurrect!"
Da Fei’s face changed! They intended to forcibly kill right on the street!
Da Fei’s change in expression was immediately caught by Sea and Sky, who pointed at Da Fei right away, "Look! His face changed! He’s really scared!"
For a moment, the crowd was in an uproar, and the Blood Sea Guild burst into laughter! And at this moment, the guild channel was buzzing: "Brother Fei, hold on, we’ll come to rescue you soon!"
Ah, what good is your rescue?
At this time, Da Fei saw through the human wall that the white light of the teleportation array was flashing madly, indicating a large number of players were teleporting over from other places!
Obviously, the Blood Sea Guild’s roadblocking was to buy time, waiting for sufficient player numbers to accumulate before the security team came to disperse them, to concentrate firepower and instantly kill my NPCs! Judging by their blocking actions just now, this operation seemed like a spur-of-the-moment decision by the Blood Sea Guild, but the fact that they could react and quickly mobilize so many players in such a short time showed they were quite powerful.
However, my fishmen have withstood the storms and waves with me, wouldn’t it be a joke to screw up in the city? I won’t sit idly by!
Da Fei immediately patted Anlicia’s shoulder, "Summons the mist, hurry—"
Anlicia retracted Da Fei’s hand with a frown, "What are you touching for? We’re in the city; casting spells in the city would be considered an offense, disturbing public order!"
Damn, what’s there to be so high-maintenance about? Isn’t blocking roads a disturbance to public order too? Da Fei said urgently, "As long as we don’t turn red-named, who cares about such trifles! Quickly!"
Anlicia waved her hand, and amidst the magic light, the entire street became shrouded in mist instantly, and at this moment, both Da Fei as the mastermind and Anlicia as the executor turned into "violating" yellow names, which, as mentioned before, although they were at fault, they were still under legal protection.
At this instant, police whistles echoed through the alleyways—"Who is it! No disrupting the order in the city!"
"This is a stern warning! Do not block traffic, or you will also be charged with disturbing public order!"
City enforcement moved in advance!
The sudden change stunned Brother Tian, leaving him open-mouthed, while he was still deciding whether to preemptively kill, the road-blocking crowd was swiftly displaced by the security team who used "space eviction spells" only available to city managers, randomly relocated to another spot within the city.
Saved! Da Fei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said to Selvia, "Quick, take the fishmen to Radiant City."
Selvia shrugged, "Got it!"
"Is it you!"
Facing the aggressively approaching security team’s questioning, Da Fei obediently bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "It’s me, sorry!"
"If sorry was enough, then why would we be here! You two come with us!"
"Yes! I’ll fully cooperate!"
At this moment, Da Fei felt a secret hatred inside, damn you, Blood Sea Guild, if it hadn’t been for Anlicia’s Mist Technique, this non-offensive disorderly spell saving the day, I would have been caught by you! To think you are willing to forcefully turn red-named to kill NPCs to deal with me, is there no justice, no law, what’s the grudge?
Fine! Since we have such deep-seated hatred now, I can’t help but respond, borrowing your phrase, "let’s see in the future!"
...
At this moment, Sea and Sky, whose plan was foiled by the security team, apologized to Royal Dominator: "Sorry, we made everyone busy for nothing. This trash is too cunning."
Royal Dominator chuckled, "Well, makes it interesting; if he could be toppled that easily, he wouldn’t be worth us teaming up to tackle. Anyhow, we’ve only just joined forces and immediately pulled off such a neat action, we’re truly impressed, we believe we’ll have a lot of fun cooperating in the future."
Sea and Sky chuckled, "Do you know I’ve heard rumors, saying your Royal Family wants to settle in Elorin, squeezing out our guild?"
Royal Dominator was taken aback, "No such thing, our main forces are Human Race, why would we come here?"
Sea and Sky chuckled, "To have fun in the future, we shouldn’t have barriers between us. Actually, Elorin, whether it’s Star coming, or you all, we welcome you all, and honestly, we haven’t placed much importance on Elorin, do you know what our confidence lies in?"
Royal Dominator raised an eyebrow, "Blood Sea Wave?"
Sea and Sky laughed heartily, "Right, I as the president am just a steward, Atao is the world-class god-level sea battle hero, he works tirelessly on high-level maps, our guild’s strategic focus isn’t on battles over one city or another in the China Region. We all are seen as tycoons by others, let’s all be magnanimous and not let those poor folks laugh."
Royal Dominator laughed heartily, "It’s true, speaking candidly makes everyone feel eased. Alright, then we’ll also come to Elorin to accompany your guild?"
Sea and Sky laughed out loud, "Welcome, welcome, for mutual prosperity!"
Royal Dominator smiled, "And facing outwards together, eliminating trash!"
Sea and Sky laughed, "Exactly, exactly, next time if he dares to flaunt with NPCs—oh, today we didn’t manage to do anything to those fishmen, let’s go to the fishery later; there are a few NPCs there!"
Royal Dominator exclaimed in surprise, "I heard their guild’s vice president is an NPC? Why not deal with him?"
Sea and Sky shook his head, "Hard, that NPC is a Baron who only travels by carriage, his status is too high, the city management’s protection around him is the tightest, it’s inconvenient to act, not to mention, it carries the severest punishment, and it’s hard to say if having the silly Baron with a 75% guild contribution as a vice president in Da Fei’s guild is good or bad."
Royal Dominator murmured, "I see, but to have a Baron as a deputy is still quite prestigious..."
