Chapter 597 - 562: The World Trembles
Tonight in China Region, sleep will be hard to come by. In today’s China Region, Da Fei has become the most talked about. Not only that, but while discussions about the battle at the Pool of Radiance in the China Region were booming on game forums worldwide, Da Fei presented the world’s players with a heart-stopping sea battle, an unlimited monster-pulling operation, the final result of which was that this god-like Sea Monster was easily captured by Da Fei, while the flames burning around the sea area seemed like demons from hell reveling and mocking.
At this moment, the name of a Chinese spread across the forums of all regions—Da Fei!
...
Royal Guild’s First Fleet video chat command group, high-level executives of the Royal Guild all got out of bed and gathered together. For these tycoon players, almost nothing was worth getting out of bed at midnight for, but this game was an exception. For those who genuinely loved this game, this was where their careers and dreams lived.
The Royal Dominator spoke up: "Hello everyone, good evening to all captains of the First Fleet. I’m very sorry for waking you up at this late hour, but I believe that after knowing what happened tonight, you wouldn’t be able to sleep the next day either. In any case, all the captains of the First Fleet, you’ve worked hard, and you’ve done well!"
The chat room burst into applause.
The Royal Dominator continued: "However, tonight’s topic isn’t about discussing revenge, but about development. I believe every captain here aspires for the power of the large battleships. Everyone must be thinking, if we all had large ships, we’d need just one to sink his ship and not leave room for him to show off, right?"
The chat room was in an uproar: "Exactly! When we all have our large ships, he’ll be nothing!"
The Royal Dominator sighed, "The thing I wanted to do the most was to buy Da Fei’s account, but it’s so notorious that I lost interest! So, what I really want to do now is to fully develop our own large ship, a goal that might seem distant but is closest for every captain here because we are the closest ones to getting a large ship in the China Region, wouldn’t you agree?"
"Yes!"
Royal Dominator was animated, "Good! Starting today, all the captains here, stop trading, stop leveling up. Whatever you need, the guild will provide. Everything is for reputation, everything is for the large ship. It’ll be a tedious and long process, but I believe the shame of today is our motivation to move forward! When our large battleship emerges, not to mention crushing Da Fei, the whole world will tremble before us, right?"
The chat room resonated thunderously, "Strive! Fight! Take down that hot-headed Da Fei!"
Watching the fervor in the chat room, the Royal Dominator felt inspired, thinking if this defeat could ignite everyone’s fighting spirit and cohesion, dominating the China Region wasn’t impossible for our Royal Guild! By then, so-called professional gamers would be nothing but an easy catch under our command.

Meanwhile, in the Southern Ocean near Miracle Island in the Southern Barbarian Sea.
Dozens of engineering ships moored around the small island were busy piling and fortifying the foundations near the shores. The entire island was also piled up with construction materials and temporary sheds. The first phase of the sea wave-blocking dike project on Miracle Island was being vigorously commenced. Furthermore, more materials were continuously being transported to Miracle Island by convoys under the "protection" of pirates.
Even at 3 AM, Blood Sea Wave was completely sleepless and full of enthusiasm. Blood Sea Wave could never have imagined falling in love with building and construction in the game! Although his father had repeatedly dragged him to his construction sites hoping he would learn some building skills, he just wasn’t interested, unwilling to take up his dad’s sun-baked job. After all, true passion is the best motivation.
Blood Sea Wave scoffed at the Dragon Slayer Guild’s failure today. What a bunch of old, pretentious guilds, he thought they were about to make a big move in the New World, but instead, they wasted resources on faction conflicts! Even if such a gambling development strategy had succeeded, it wasn’t advisable, let alone their utter defeat which inadvertently made Da Fei’s wall even more beneficial! Stupid, Ma Yinglong was nothing special after all, just a guy who started from an internet cafe, that’s all he’s got, serves them right!
However, it must be said, when Blood Sea Wave found out that Da Fei had also started building a city, his heart was somewhat shaken. But upon further reflection, with his current strength, having a city was no surprise. What was bizarre was building a city in such a disconnected location, was it worth the massive investment? Never seen an official before, huh? Ridiculous! And yet, Ma Yinglong, eager to fight over such a worthless place, was even more laughable!
Then came the news of Royal Guild’s defeat and Da Fei killing the Sea Monster once again. Blood Sea Wave was thoroughly annoyed! All day long, it was Da Fei this, Da Fei that, don’t you ever stop?
It’s not that Da Fei was crap, but you are just too crappy! Why don’t you understand? Even if your capabilities surpass others, aren’t you still the same old trash?
Blood Sea Wave had long realized that only true power was the rule of the game. Now, having united various pirate forces, Blood Sea Wave was about to build a city of pirates here at Miracle Island, and he, would be the Pirate King of the entire China Region, the entire world!
No matter what, Da Fei’s progress did indeed give Blood Sea Wave a jolt; it was time for him to accelerate his pace and progress!
...
Beijing Time, March 5th, at 3 A.M., British London Time, March 4th, at 7 P.M.
While people were still enjoying their dinner, Prince George VIII, game ID "King Arthur," owner of the British Royal Ark Team urgently convened the "Round Table Knights" for an emergency video chat meeting.
"Gentlemen, sirs, I have received a very interesting video from a friend in Japan! Let’s all watch it now and please share your thoughts."
In silence, the members of the Round Table Knights watched the naval battle video about China Region’s famous player, Da Fei.
King Arthur spoke again: "Lancelot, as the Captain of Noah’s Ark, what are your thoughts?"
Lancelot: "Perhaps others are focusing on the victor, Da Fei, but I saw a significant threat from the losing side. They can now organize a large number of medium-sized ships to carry out kamikaze-style attacks against large ships, and when they possess large ships in the future, they can pose a threat to our Royal Ark using the same method!"
King Arthur nodded approvingly: "Indeed, no matter how powerful Da Fei is at this stage, his battleship has reached its limit. However, this losing guild has endless potential for development and growth. Their mobilization capabilities, command abilities, and financial strength of the guild indeed pose a great threat to us."
Bedivere: "No, Your Highness—"
George VIII interrupted: "Please refer to him as Arthur! Continue, Knight Bedivere."
Bedivere: "Your Majesty, Arthur, I have also studied Da Fei’s performance in the Pool of Radiance battle. His other battleship has space teleportation capabilities; he’s not at his limit."
King Arthur: "But ultimately, he’s just an individual player, isn’t he? And an individual player who is deeply resented by his fellow countrymen."
Bedivere: "But we can’t rule out the possibility that this individual player could challenge Noah’s Ark. His battleship’s defense cannot be calculated with normal data. If I’m not mistaken, it is also a magic battleship. With two magic battleships, he has entered the era of magic battleships, equal to us. Given the Chinese’s reputation for greed, the possibility of selling the magic battleship at a high price cannot be excluded!"
King Arthur: "That’s a very valid point!"
Gao Wen: "I feel that the Japanese sending this video to us is not with good intentions. If I’m not mistaken, they might have sent a copy to the Americans, Germans, and French."
King Arthur laughed heartily: "The Japanese have a very simple idea, to greatly exaggerate the threat of the China Region’s naval power, leading us further into maritime strategy so that no one would compete with them for land supremacy. Of course, what the Japanese would prefer is to see our European Union Region’s navy and the Chinese inflict heavy losses upon each other."
Lancelot coldly stated: "From a realistic perspective, the Chinese can single-handedly challenge the rest of the world except for the Permanent Five. From a game perspective, China only needs a Dragon Slayer Guild to keep the Japanese busy in defense; they can’t even help their allies in time, yet they still have the audacity to set traps for allies, which is both foolish and laughable."
King Arthur solemnly said: "Regardless, our Great Britain’s strategy is to fully develop our maritime capabilities. No matter what the Americans or the Germans think, our path must remain steadfast. Now, what I want to say is that the Chinese have started advancing rapidly on the path of large ships. We in Great Britain must not take it lightly at all. Our Noah’s Ark must always be at least one era ahead of them. When they think they can dominate the seas, our Noah’s Ark will have already dominated the skies. By then, it will be our time to dominate the world. Knights, please pay utmost attention and meet the challenges head-on. The Chinese are rapidly developing day and night with Chinese characteristics and speed, and we have no advantage!"
Round Table Knights: "Yes, Your Majesty, Arthur!"
King Arthur satisfactorily said: "Very good, starting today, all afternoon tea times, vacation times are canceled, and the daily online time of every team member is extended by three hours!"
Round Table Knights: "....."
King Arthur: "Starting with myself!"
Round Table Knights: "Yes! King Arthur, Your Majesty!"
King Arthur: "Very good, now I need to discuss this matter with our American friends, I believe the Americans, who are facing tight resource development across the board, are more anxious than anyone else."
