Chapter 635 - 598: Meeting a Japanese Player First Again
The competition is imminent and the meeting here has come to an end, so Da Fei has to set sail back right away.
As for Selvia staying behind to learn the ways of the Minstrel, and Lizardman Fu’er continuing to examine this swamp, they also stayed behind.
The excited village chief bid farewell to Da Fei: "Lord, the construction materials for the Multi-headed Snake Fortress will rely on you, we have enough manpower. Oh, we have plenty of wood here for building the fortress, you just need to bring in stone and sulfur crystals."
Geez! The wood here is meant for building giant ships, how can it be used to make fortresses? But if we don’t use the local wood and instead transport it from afar, that’s even more absurd, right? I bought "Deadwood" from him at a low price back then, if he knew the truth, the friendship level might drop a bit.
Da Fei’s brows jumped up with an idea out of desperation: "We already have wood, when I first came with the logging team, we happened to bring 1000 units of rare wood here!"
That’s right – when the logging team cut down the Nasir Ancient Trees, altogether they got 400 units of Ancient Iron Wood, 100 units of Ancient Cold Crystal Wood, 100 units of Ancient Storm Wood, 100 units of Ancient Radiant Wood, 100 units of Ancient Fire Wood, 100 units of Ancient Rock Wood, 100 units of Ancient Dark Star Wood, and so on, in total 1000 units. Just enough to meet the blueprint requirements for wood. Since it was too high-end and I never knew what to use it for, I might as well put it to use now; the sooner it’s used, the sooner we’ll benefit.
The village chief was incredibly shocked: "Lord, that’s very rare, magical wood, excellent material for making Magic Wands!"
How can Arrays compare with fortresses? Da Fei chuckled: "I highly value this fortress, I believe the higher the quality of our building materials, the stronger our fortress attributes will be, which will benefit the cultivation of the Multi-headed Snake. So this investment is nothing, if possible, I will also try to bring over some rare stone materials."
Only then did the village chief come back to his senses, praising continuously: "As expected of Lord, so generous!"
Hmph, correct, my generosity has made a name amongst the Hobbits and is certified by the system. However, rare stone materials might be a bit tricky, last competition I only obtained 100 units of Ancient Granite, and some have been used for the Bell Tower and Netherworld Treasury. Anyway, let’s see if I can gain some advantage from this competition.
Now, the Flying is cruising downstream, passing through the Eight-Headed Snake channel; alright, although the Eight-Headed Snake is gone, let’s formally name it the Eight-Headed Snake channel. Then, back to the Vine Forest Space again.
The philosophy of sailing is that ships should never return empty, so now take away the wood stored on the riverbank. After clearing the Eight-Headed Snake, future water transport of wood won’t be restricted. In any case, the next goal is to cut down and transport all the Mercury Wood as fast as possible.
Oh, the Hobbits’ water villages and so many rafts are also made of Mercury Wood, aren’t they? If I dismantle them, I reckon I could reclaim a few thousand units? Wouldn’t that be enough for another giant ship?
That’s a problem, need to find an excuse! Ah, I can transport thousands of cubic stones to fill the lake, build a stone island, and stone houses, claiming it’s to improve everyone’s living conditions, killing two birds with one stone, wahahaha! I’m brilliant!
While the Flying is loading wood, the competition time finally arrived:
- China Region Announcement: "Hero World Cup" individual international knockout round has begun, wishing all participants a smooth competition.
- System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully logged into the World Battle Network System.
- System Prompt: Your current comprehensive military strength is as follows, please choose the military strength to go into battle!
Your troops: 3539 Flower Demon (Command Value 0, cannot join the battle), 3705 Demon Child (Command Value 3705), 1250 Horned Demon Governor (Command Value 1250), 110 Hellhound (Command Value 220), 11351 Slime Monster (Command Value 0, cannot join the battle), 100 Dual-Core Large Slime Monster (Command Value 5000), unnamed Super Slime Monster (Command Value 300), 50 Druid (Command Value 150), 5 Storm Druid (Command Value 50), 200 Secret Archer (Command Value 400), 200 Forest Goddess (Command Value 600), 136 Banshee (Command Value 408), 1 Necromancer Dragon (Command Value 40), Forest Serenity (Command Value 50), 212 Forest Wood Demon (Command Value 1322), Grassland Guardian (Command Value 30), 200 Grassland Flower Demon (Command Value 630), 42 Vine Demon (Command Value 84), Earth Altar Guardian (Command Value 150), Fishman Gulu Gulu (Command Value 400)...
Total Command Value: 15409 points, a total of 16 troop types. Note: Slime Monster, Dual-Core Large Slime Monster, and Super Slime Monster are considered the same troop type, Druid and Storm Druid are the same troop type, Flower Demon and Grassland Flower Demon are the same troop type. Troop types that cannot join the battle cannot participate in the competition.
- Competition rules: The competition will forbid Divine Artifacts and Divine Artifact Special Skills in battle. The competition arena has other players randomly assigned by the system, with a time limit of 30 minutes. The arena will have powerful monster BOSS and facilities and mechanisms that players can use, as well as resources from the competition that can be brought back to the player’s region. You must defeat your opponents to advance to the next round; if you lose once, you will be eliminated.
...
Geez! Looking at my own troops that can join the battle with a terrifying Command Value of over 15,000, Da Fei himself couldn’t help but gasp! I remember four days ago, when I first went into battle, the total Command Value was less than 2000. Right, why can’t the Nasir Ancient Tree Castle join the battle? Is it like the Flying, belonging to buildable units and doesn’t count?
Wait, what the heck? Forbidding Divine Artifacts?
- Achoo! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of water! This is such a trap! Who else in the world except me uses Divine Artifacts in the competition? Is this targeted at me? Was I too conspicuous in the last competition so they just singled me out?
Fine, the more famous you are, the bigger target you become, I’m big so it serves me right to be ’slaughtered’! But no matter, even without Divine Artifacts, not many can withstand Elena’s one shot.
There’s nothing much to say now, with my 4940 Command Power, I will first lead 3705 Demon Children. I originally had over 1600 more, but they were completely wiped out by the Hydra’s blood explosion and their bodies can’t be found for resurrection. Then with the remaining 1200 Command Power, I’ll continue to lead 200 Secret Archers and 50 Druids, and the few hundred left will be Hellhounds.
I’ve caught the attention of the game company, so I’m deploying troops low-key now, so as not to scare you to death!
—System Prompt: Your hero has been selected for battle, and troop deployment is complete. Connecting to the World Battle Network competition venue, scene transition in progress, please wait patiently...
.....
At this moment, at the Japan Mitsubishi Command Center, in the competition center.
Igarashi is giving the players a last pep talk before the match: "Gentlemen, although our first-team players did not advance in the previous preliminary round at the Ancient City Ruins, your strength and tactical skills are in no way inferior to those of the first-team players. The fact that you could advance through the melee is proof enough. Now is your chance to demonstrate the strength of the mighty Japan, and our goal is to achieve excellent results and win the championship!"
All the players present shout in unison: "Win the championship!"
The team captain Tsukamoto yells: "The match begins, all players report!"
"Reporting! Player number 0131 Hukateng enters the battlefield, the opponent is Zeus from Greece!"
"Reporting! Player number 0026 Blood Gun Jiulang enters the battlefield, the opponent is Aamirhan from India!"
"Reporting! Player number 0021 Dragon of Echigo enters the battlefield, the opponent is— is—"
Tsukamoto discontentedly says: "Mr. Kazama, where’s your spirit?"
"—Yes, it’s China’s player Da Fei, he has so many troops!"
"Da Fei!?" There’s a shock through the crowd!
Tsukamoto exclaims: "Switch to the big screen, focus on monitoring match number 0021!"
Igarashi says somberly: "We need to get a full grasp on his attributes this time!"
"Hey!"
.....
—System Prompt: You have entered the Gravel Wilderness battlefield, your opponent is "Dragon of Echigo" from Japan!
—System Prompt: You have received the "MVP Terminator" achievement bonus, your Troop Attack +5, Defense +5, Life +5, Damage +1, Personal Life +100, Morale +1, Luck +1.
As the scene changes, and looking at the Japanese player in the distance with a plaster flag on his head, then looking at his troop size which is clearly a smaller bunch compared to mine, Da Fei can’t help but burst into a wild laugh! Man, I really have a fate with the Japanese. Last competition it was also the first blood from a Japanese player, and now it’s the same. Well then, I won’t be polite.
Da Fei checks the attributes of the Demon Children:
—Demon Child: Level 1 troops of the Hell Race, Attack 119 (+116), Defense 156 (+155), Damage 6-7 (+5), Life 24 (+20)...
Holy moly! Who would believe that these are level 1 Hell Race troops with 3 Attack, 1 Defense, 1-2 Damage, 4 Life? Just the Damage and Life have been boosted by me to the standard of level 3 troops. Damn, I have over 3700 Demon Children at the standard of level 3 troops! Even if I stood still and let him kill me, he would have tired hands from killing, let alone when thousands of Demon Children make their move, guarantee to drain him of mana, not even a fart could he let out!
Winning him is definitely not a problem, the problem is, how can I win creatively and maximize his humiliation?
Forget it, I won’t think too much, Da Fei directly waves his hand: "All troops charge!"
Exactly, I don’t need any tactics, just drown you with a sea of Demon Children. You guys from the Japan Region claim to be professionals among the Hell Race? Let this amateur of the Hell Race teach you a lesson in minutes, haha, WAHAHAHA! (To be continued.
