Chapter 583 - 548: Another Giant Electric Eel
Radiant City.
Mr. Da Fei returned to find that the Sea God Priest’s song had ended. The construction workers were back in their places, resuming work, while the consultants with building skills were directing the Flower Demons to repair the Durability of the buildings damaged in the recent war. Next to the destroyed clinic at the City Hall, a new construction site was breaking ground.
Needless to say, this must be the tavern blueprint sent over by the Prince. For Radiant City, which already has a hospital, there was no need to rebuild such a small facility as the clinic.
At this moment, the Flower Demons at the docks were busy recharging Magic Crystals with Mana and unloading timber from the Flying. The entire city was bustling with activity.
Mr. Da Fei hastily asked a consultant who was directing the repairs, "Where are the guests?"
The consultant chuckled, "Reporting to Lord City Lord, since our tavern has only just begun construction, Consultant Arong has temporarily arranged for the guests to stay in the school."
Damn! This Cultural Consultant is something else! Before I had the chance to formally invite her to teach, she’s already stuffing people into the school, huh? Fine by me! As long as she’s staying in the school and sees how many students there are compared to the insufficient number of teachers, she’ll definitely take pity on me and decide to roll up her sleeves and teach. Hahaha!
There’s not much else to be said at the moment. I’d better take this opportunity to move the timber away.
Players can carry 10 units of resources themselves. With 1500 units of timber, Mr. Da Fei would need to make 150 trips, and the Elorin Shipyard is a bit far from the Elorin Teleportation Array, which is quite the pain! If it were a large guild, they could just call a bunch of people to make a few trips back and forth and get it all done easily, but the problem is—
Mr. Da Fei opened the city control panel’s transportation management tab to check and, sure enough, the Teleportation Array in Radiant City was once again closed to the public! The battle was over, the Prince had even spoken, what more is there to say?
Just then, there was a stir in the Guild: "Brother Fei! Brother Fei, you’re on TV!"
Da Bing exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Fei, you’ve built a city already? So it was on your turf that Star and Dragon Slayer had their battle today?"
Da Wei also said, "I saw the Sea Monster in the video. The scale of this battle must be massive!"
Da Meng B said eagerly, "Now that the Dragon Slayer Guild has built a huge city wall for Brother Fei, his city must be the number one city in the world. I bet even the NPC’s Main City isn’t as large as Brother Fei’s city!"
Brother Hao laughed, "People say that Brother Fei is ostentatious, but when he quietly makes big moves, we’re all in the dark. We didn’t even know Brother Fei was building a city!"
Mr. Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched. He was on TV! He hadn’t even had a chance to watch it himself. But, by keeping the city construction a secret from everyone, wasn’t he showing that he didn’t trust his brothers? Alas, even as a leader, one shouldn’t be so obvious, especially to seem lacking in Brother Hao’s eyes.
Mr. Da Fei defended himself, "This city is a joint venture with the Kingdom, nothing to brag about. Plus, it’s very dangerous, and it could be destroyed by enemies at any time, which would be a real loss of face. There was no need to announce it; better to let it survive or perish naturally. But then again, I managed to hold it together."
The Guild erupted in praise: "Brother Fei is so incredibly badass!"
Brother Hao laughed, "Truly Brother Fei, handling things with such composure!"
One Sword Eastward added excitedly, "Brother Fei, if there’s anything we can do to help with your city, just let us brothers know. We might not be as good as Star, but we’re reliable!"
Da Bing was also eager, "Exactly! We may not be the best at making things happen, but we definitely won’t let Brother Fei down. Even if it’s running errands and doing odd jobs, we’re on it!"
"Exactly!"
Ah, this vibe is clearly that they feel like I’ve kept them at a distance, isn’t it? This isn’t right, not right at all. In the end, it’s time for me to rely on the masses. Otherwise, if that gang of idiots thinks I’m a loner, they’ll unscrupulously try to take me down all the time, and it makes me lose face. They may not care, but I have to!
Mr. Da Fei then laughed, "Want to do odd jobs, huh? Fine, come to the Farolan Square Teleportation Array line up. Help me transport the goods to the Elorin Guild warehouse. Each person gets a 30,000 teleportation fee upfront!"
The Guild was exhilarated: "Here it comes!"
Da Fei laughed heartily: "Then I’ll have to trouble the brothers for a bit. Once the city is officially established, we’ll form a trade relationship with our Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce. Then the brothers can come visit my city. We’ll make money together and get rich together!"
"Oh yeah! Let’s follow Brother Fei!"
Soon, more than a dozen members of the Guild had gathered. After just a day, the levels of the newcomers had increased by 4 or 5. Not bad at all. Although it was far from Brother’s progress of making rapid strides every day, it was great as long as everyone was working hard.
With everyone’s help, things were much easier. Da Fei only needed to handle the transportation of goods up and down for them, no need to travel such long distances. Even so, after dozens of trips, Da Fei began to feel dizzy.
Ah, dammit, thank goodness I didn’t deliver the goods myself, or I’d have turned into a fool.
While everyone was busy, Brother Hao suddenly asked with a laugh: "Brother Fei, you said we have a bank for transporting resources, don’t you? Does Brother Fei’s timber have anything special about it?"
Oh? Isn’t it just like Brother Hao to ask such a question? But well, my style is to be so composed that I only speak about things that are set in stone. I’ll keep things that are still in the works to myself, otherwise if word gets out, it might scare gamers around the world, and that wouldn’t be good.
Da Fei smiled and said: "Indeed, it’s special. It’s spoils of war from the last battle, to be precise. Anyway, it needs to be taken back for research."
Brother Hao laughed: "That’s our Brother Fei, always taking the high-end route."
The members of the Guild laughed: "Following Brother Fei, we’re all moving up in life!"
"Exactly!"
As they chatted and joked, about an hour passed, and all the timber was finally about to be moved. At this moment, a System Prompt appeared:
——System Prompt: Attention! Your appointment with the Dwarf Prince Alberon for the three-day auction is due. Please make sure to head to the Moradin Auction House this morning in-game time.
Holy cow! Time has passed so... so slowly! How much have I done in these three days! Alright, lucky I got lots of help to take care of the timber.
Now, Da Fei had to personally transport the last batch of timber, since it was necessary for the guild leader to hand over the timber from the Guild’s warehouse to the Elorin Shipyard.
A flash of light, and Da Fei, with the last batch of timber, returned to Elorin.
And at that moment, the guard at the Teleportation Array spoke: "Is this Mr. Da Fei? The leader of the Fishing Guild, Mr. Savaran, has some very important urgent matters to discuss with you. Please make sure to meet with him."
Da Fei was taken aback. The Fishing Guild’s leader? He’s probably got only one thing to talk to me about, right? Damn, I’m busy right now, can you not be annoying?
With no choice, Da Fei went to the long-unvisited Fishing Guild after completing the transfer of the goods from the warehouse.
Upon entering, the white-bearded guild leader cut to the chase: "Guild leader, you’ve finally arrived! You have been assigned an important commission related to hunting Sea Monsters!"
Just as expected! Da Fei frustratingly asked: "What kind of Sea Monster?"
Savaran frowned and said: "Recently, there’s been a giant Electric Eel roaming the waters near Elorin, posing threats to passing ships. As the Ultimate Sea Monster Hunter endorsed by our guild, you must take action!"
A giant Electric Eel! Damn it! Da Fei’s jaw dropped in astonishment!(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com) with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
