Chapter 589 - 554: It Really Was Your People Hopping Around
A flash of light, and Da Fei returned to Radiant City. By this time, the building repairs in Radiant City had been completed, and the Flower Demons were concentrating all their efforts on replenishing Mana in the Magic Charging Crystals.
At this moment, Miss Anlicia was also back, and she stepped forward saying, "Lord City Lord, the 500 units of gifts prepared for the Tachiusu Tribe have been purchased and loaded on the ship, Miss Tamilia has also completed the transplantation of the Holy Vine, and we can set off now."
million Gold Coins for 500 units of goods? What exactly did you buy?
Da Fei nodded seriously and said, "Very good, but before we tackle the Eight-Headed Snake, we have a warm-up activity of hunting a Sea Monster, which is the giant Electric Eel you encountered outside Fog Reef Bay last time. It has already become a threat to the Kingdom, and we must eliminate it immediately."
Anlicia was taken aback, then chuckled dryly, "No problem, the more thrilling, the better!"
Da Fei nodded, "Then let’s start by delivering goods to the Vine Demon Space, and then immediately return to go to Elorin."
The Flying now re-enters the diving state, the scene changes with a flash of light, and the Flying reappears in the Blood Sea.
Da Fei paused for a moment to observe the Spider Demons’ activities. At this time, the Spider Demons were still enthusiastically digging and filling the island.
Da Fei couldn’t help but frown. Although he reported to Makar and suggested incorporating them, what would Makar think? More importantly, what’s the stance of these Spider Demons? If they neither can be incorporated nor defeated after digging in, how should these two mines be dealt with in the future? And what about the Demigod Turtle?
Da Fei thought so hard, an Eight-Headed Snake and an Electric Eel were already enough for him to handle, Brother really didn’t want to keep bashing his head against things like Demigods in the Demigod Space.
Once the scene changed, the Flying once again arrived in the Vine Demon Jungle, and was once again greeted by Lady Tachiusu and a crowd of Flower Demons.
Anlicia waved and smiled, "Lady Tachiusu, we’ve brought a lot of gifts this time, a full set of crystal tableware, gemstone seat clocks, framed crystal artwork, crystal dressing mirrors, silver windchimes, silkworm silk bedspreads, silkworm silk curtains, velvet feather coats, velvet carpets, oak precision wooden desks and chairs..."
Wow!!! For a moment, Lady Tachiusu exclaimed in surprise, and Da Fei, listening to her list them off nonstop like announcing dishes, was even more dumbfounded!
What are these? Commodities from the exchange? Or items from NPC shops? Turns out there’s so much stuff in the game that Brother doesn’t even know about! But they sound very high-end and classy, right?
Sure enough, Lady Tachiusu came back to her senses and joyfully said, "Not even the living furnishings of princes and nobles could be better than this, right?"
Anlicia snapped her fingers proudly, "Ice Fruit! This is indeed outfitted according to noble living standards! You’ve endured such hardships here all these years—ah, right, due to the heavy usage of Radiant City’s Teleportation Array, we could only bring some household goods this time. Next time, we’ll bring food and drink as well, also of noble standards!"
Lady Tachiusu gleefully said, "Thank you, Lord City Lord, thank you, Miss Anlicia!"
Da Fei laughed dryly, "It’s nothing, nothing! Everyone has helped so much, I must not let everyone down!"
Anlicia smiled, "People’s sense of happiness and security directly comes from their own homestead. Improving the home environment directly boosts people’s Morale, and with high Morale, whether working, studying, or fighting, everyone is full of energy! Another indirect impact of improving the home environment is that there’s a certain chance to enhance people’s taste. Not everyone can elevate their taste through high-class living, but once their taste is elevated, it signifies their advancement, and they might advance or learn new skills!"
Lady Tachiusu joyfully said, "Miss Deputy City Lord is absolutely right! Elevating taste is very beneficial for our tribe’s development!"
Da Fei suddenly realized, that means only by raising the overall standard of living of the city population, is there a bigger possibility of cultivating advanced talents!
Da Fei asked hurriedly, "The progress of our school in training the Flower Demons is slow, is this also related to the harsh living conditions of the Flower Demons?"
Anlicia chuckled, then her face became stern, "The main reason is the lack of teaching strength in the school! The training of talents should first address the issue of teaching resources. Improving the living standard of people is costly and is the last consideration! Under the premise of ensuring people’s basic needs for food and warmth, maintaining a certain proportion of poor population is also necessary. This way, the lower-level citizens have the motivation to learn and strive towards the higher-level citizens, and the higher-level citizens will feel a sense of superiority in life, and have the motivation to strive further to prevent being surpassed!"
Lady Tachiusu chuckled, "Miss Deputy City Lord makes sense!"
Holy crap! Speaking so eloquently, becoming a Deputy City Lord for a few days is really something, eh? Anyway, this served as a reminder for Da Fei, all sorts of various furniture and utensils in the game are very useful, their value can’t be measured by normal panel data.
Anyway, no more talk, once there’s more money later, just go ahead and improve the standard of living, Brother wants his Radiant City to live up to its status as a super city!
Now, the Flying docks again, the Vine Demons cheer and leap towards the Flying’s deck to unload, continuing to transport the timber piled up in the lumber yard onto the ship.
Miss Tamilia appeared again, "Lord, I will now fully assist Lady Tachiusu in grafting and cultivating the Evil Branch Ancient Tree Fortress. During my absence from the ship, the Holy Vine Space will be unavailable for use, I hope this will not inconvenience Lord."
Holy crap, that directly reduces the transport capacity by a thousand units, this inconvenience is huge!
Da Fei chuckled, "No worries, there wasn’t much to transport anyway."
Tachiusu hurriedly said, "Lord, time is pressing, so I will take Miss Tamilia to cultivate the ancient tree."
Da Fei nodded, "Alright, I’ll leave it to you!"
Now, taking advantage of the interval between loading and unloading, Da Fei once again rode the leaf boat to dive into the Eight-Headed Snake space channel. At this moment, the four or five heads of the Eight-Headed Snake were still sleepwalking in a chaotic dance, which was good since it left plenty of time for work.
Elena affirmed, "Master, the energy within its body is more rampant than yesterday. I’d like to get closer to see if its alert range has changed. Normally, when a creature is extremely fatigued, its alert range should decrease."
Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat, "Right! The smaller its alert range, the more advantageous for our attack!"
Thus, the boat continued to slowly approach, getting closer and closer, reaching yesterday’s alarm trigger point, but no alarm!
Da Fei felt overjoyed and proceeded further; soon, a red light burst out! Alarm!
Da Fei immediately retreated! So, that’s how it is!
Elena excitedly stated, "Master, we can deduce that as the wooden disturbances continue, its alert range will keep reducing. Eventually, master’s big ship might approach it for battle quietly without alerting it!"
That’s exactly the effect Da Fei wanted, and he couldn’t help but burst into laughter! After all, brother’s forward-thinking work with wooden disruptions was a stroke of genius. It managed to control all unfavorable situations to the lowest level, not to mention the Divine Artifact brother got from Makar!
In any case, in this battle, Da Fei felt incredibly confident. With such firm confidence, Da Fei had no worries about fighting the Sea Monster.
The boat returned to the shore of the Vine Demon Jungle. Da Fei started checking the logs sent from Tai Da upstream.
"Reporting to Lord City Lord, no movements in any of the spaces today, the only anomaly is that the mercury vapor eruptions are getting shorter, suggesting aggressive movements in the Lava Space by the invaders from the Demon Race."
Da Fei was alarmed, these demons move fast! Considering their pace, would brother make it in time to rescue through the Eight-Headed Snake?
It was at this moment that Da Fei suddenly remembered something—was this invader from the Demon Race a player or an NPC? If it’s a player, then could it be Dragon Slayer? Does this mean that brother will have to clash with them again eventually?
Ah, this is somewhat troublesome! Brother has already taken over the walls of Dragon Slayer, occupied such a big advantage, and they didn’t turn on brother but even conspired to stage a play. If brother backstabs them, turning it into a real fight, that would be too awkward! Is brother that kind of person?
Of course, brother is that kind of person! But it also depends on the person, right? For the likes of Blood Sea Wave and Skyshattering Thunder, stepping on them a few more times wouldn’t be too much. But for someone as powerful, timely, and willing to lend money like Hemorrhoid Ointment, brother should stick with him through thick and thin, right? How could brother keep doing things that let him down?
After some deep contemplation, Da Fei finally figured out a way that involved initial courtesy followed by surprise, deceiving without worrying about losing face from both sides.
Da Fei then opened his friend list to send a message to Ma Yinglong, "Boss Ma, still up so late?"
Soon, Ma Yinglong replied, "Brother Fei, how could I sleep?"
Da Fei sighed, "It’s my brother’s fault, but there’s something I must report to Boss Ma. Isn’t there a group of your guys causing a stir in a Lava Space inside the World Tree? The Elf Kingdom is preparing to make a move!"
Ma Yinglong exclaimed in shock, "What? This is new?"
Damn, "What? This is new?" That’s profound! Are you denying there’s anyone in the Lava Space or confirming the Elf Kingdom’s action?
Da Fei continued, "Boss Ma, no kidding, the Kingdom is just waiting for you guys to clear that Demigod Crow blocking the path to move against you immediately!"
Ma Yinglong exclaimed, "Demigod Crow? What’s that?"
Damn! Are you really unaware or pretending? Actually, I also don’t know what that is.
Da Fei sighed, "I don’t know either; I only heard it in an NPC meeting, and I know nothing about that space either. Anyway, I guess NPCs are just waiting for that crow to die to assign me the task. It would be awkward to encounter your guys there."
After a long pause, Ma Yinglong finally burst out, "Brother Fei, is there room for negotiation?"
Da Fei couldn’t help but burst out laughing! So indeed, it’s your people hopping around in there. Of course, we can negotiate; just keep it down for a bit. Except for the Mercury Mine, everything else is negotiable! (To be continued. If you like this piece, you are welcome to vote for it and purchase a monthly ticket at qidian.com.
