Chapter 657 - 620: End of the National War in the Korea District
"
American New York Supernova Team Command Center TV Video Conference Room, Team Captain Fortson, and the captains of various divisions gathered in one room. Also attending the video conference were captains of well-known professional esports teams from Korea on the other side of the world, as well as the manager of the Japan Mitsubishi Team, Igarashi, and Captain Tsukamoto.
Even in sports competition, there’s always the shadow of real-world politics. Now it’s time for the United States to coordinate the steps of the US-Japan-Korea Alliance.
Fortson played several clips on the big screen showing Da Fei going up and down the Teleportation Array at World Tree Square, trading with a large number of small accounts, then solemnly asked the participants, "Gentlemen, you must have all seen Da Fei’s competition videos by now. No one would doubt the strength of this amateur player with rough operations anymore, because at his level, operations are no longer needed. What we need to see now is this: do you know what Da Fei is doing right now?"
Igarashi was the first to press the bell, "He’s transporting resources; he did the same thing a day ago. However, he transported some strange wood. As for these small accounts, their division and organization are very precise, possibly a large guild."
Fortson nodded, "This indicates one thing: in the China Region, Da Fei is not as isolated as external rumors suggest. Large guilds are still contacting him privately for profit. His advancement and strength will lead to the rapid emergence of a large number of strong players. Before long, a highly advanced group is bound to appear in the China Region, coupled with the vast number of people in China and their usual human wave tactics—in short, our national war situation does not look optimistic."
At this point, Fortson’s face turned grim, "So I urgently called this meeting to ensure you don’t engage in stupid attrition on the national war battlefield. Speak up, what are your demands? I’ll act as the arbiter!"
A Korean captain calmly said, "It’s simple, we want to capture the Holy Demon Flame Prison and cultivate the hidden race, the Fallen Elf, which possesses high-end demon bloodline. We don’t want any interference from the Japanese side."
Another Korean captain laughed, "I’ll pass a message from Lee Min-ho, he would prefer the Japanese side to assist us, and he’ll express his sincerest gratitude by not humiliating Japanese players in future competitions."
Fortson coldly looked at Igarashi on the big screen, "What are your demands?"
Igarashi chuckled, "I won’t mind the arrogance and ignorance of young people. I will follow Captain Fortson’s visionary footsteps and not care about the trivial interests in front of us. We are willing to fully cooperate with Captain Fortson’s arbitration!"
Fortson laughed heartily, "It’s always pleasant to deal with you Japanese people, you mean you’re willing to help the Koreans acquire that so-called Fallen Elf?"
Igarashi laughed, "Though I’m unwilling in my heart, I will still fully cooperate in action!"
Several Korean captains laughed, "Will you listen to our commands, then?"
Igarashi still amiably smiled, "In honor of Captain Fortson, I will."
Fortson laughed heartily, "Don’t argue anymore; follow my lead and you won’t lose! Besides, our friends in Europe will assist you as well. Let’s make this national war a big cake of mutual benefit for everyone!"
Everyone laughed, "The captain is absolutely right!"
"Truly the leader of the world!"
Fortson smiled faintly, "However, I hope to see a brilliant performance worthy of your status as professionals. Don’t embarrass yourselves with lousy tricks that reveal rigging games at a glance—meeting adjourned!"
Shortly after the video conference ended, Fortson received a report from his deputy, "Da Fei has been offline for exactly one hour. According to investigations, Da Fei was online for over 20 hours yesterday, so it’s confirmed he’s sleeping."
Fortson sneered coldly, "An amateur player is just an amateur player! No matter how lucky he is, he can never compete with professional players who never sleep. Hope he has sweet dreams tonight!"
Indeed, real professional players almost never go offline because a team takes turns leveling up their accounts. This is the fundamental difference between an amateur’s ’diligence’ and that of professional players.
So, at this moment, Da Fei’s opponent for tomorrow morning’s match, SawSaw, was diligently progressing with the help of the training group of the team. They focused on leveling up Vice Heroes, which were referred to as ’Super Heroes’ for stacking Command Power during international preliminaries. However, the difference was that in the preliminaries, recruited Vice Heroes were just fillers, dismissed after the match. But the Vice Heroes SawSaw was leveling up now were absolutely top-notch.
Even in a tavern, there are special heroes with superb skills, sometimes their tactical value surpasses even that of epic heroes with peculiar personalities.
. . .
Beijing Time, March 7, 5 a.m.,
—China Region World Announcement: Notice! The racial national war of Hell Race Camp vs. Korea District Elf Camp has ended! Result: Korea District Elf Camp wins! Hell Plane Projection time limit has expired, and the Hell Race players from World Zones will be teleported back to their respective planes.
—World Zone World Announcement: Notice! The racial national war of Hell Race Camp vs. Korea District Elf Camp has ended! Result: Korea District Elf Camp wins!
In an instant, the entire China Region’s local channels were in an uproar!
"No way, did the Korean Elves really topple the entire world’s Hell Race? That’s too strong!"
"The Hell Race was always weak, just like last time, the Europeans were just tourists."
"Aren’t the Japanese supposed to be the strongest Hell Race?"
"I’d only believe the Japanese are the best at making AV!"
"Oh no, Korea District actually took the Holy Demon Flame Prison! Who knows what’s the use of that place?"
"You don’t know? It’s a building for recruiting level 8 troops!"
"You know nothing! It’s a Hell Town, not just a recruitment building..."
. . .
Meanwhile, the World Channel’s System Prompt immediately woke up Da Fei, who was sound asleep.
Da Fei was startled awake, logged in immediately, and realized it wasn’t the situation he thought. Damn, it was because the sleep alarm I set yesterday during the Hydra fight was too loud.
Nonetheless, at least I got a good night’s sleep of 7 hours. Though still sleepy, I’m much more spirited. The sun is almost up, might as well grab something to eat and drink. At this time, Da Fei noticed a message in his inbox from Fleeting Blossom.
Fleeting Blossom, "Brother Fei, we’ve opened the military Teleportation Array in Strong Crossbow Town. Let us know when it’s convenient for you."
Da Fei’s eyebrows raised, damn impressive, she actually got the military Teleportation Array up and running. Although I’ve also got a military Teleportation Array, it only connects to the World Tree Square above my head, nothing like hers. Not bad, it wasn’t in vain for me to support you. Alright, I’ll bring out the mining machine.
By now, in-game, three days have passed overnight. The foundation of the Hydra Fortress has taken shape, and the Lizardman Fu’er was commanding the main Tree Spirit force to drive stakes. Billbo was directing the Hobbits to assist, and several simple, rough wooden lifting frames on the island were transporting materials.
Jeez, were those lifting frames built with my Mercury Wood? You all... well, those frames are indeed understatedly luxurious and tasteful, just the tool for loading the mining machine onto the ship. In short, I’ll have to transport a batch of authentic engineering tools and medical daily supplies to everyone.
Wait, in terms of engineering, no one can match the Elves, as they have flying Flower Demon workers! Though I can’t transport the Flower Demon here, the Vine Demon Tribe can! Even if the Vine Demon Tribe is few in number and busy, unable to cross the border to work, I can at least bring over a dozen Vine Demon Army units. So, I’ll discuss with Tachiusu as I pass through Vine Demon Space and see if she can lend a hand.
For now, though, I’ll quickly order takeout and hunker down on a large account!
. . .
Tokyo Time, March 7, 6 a.m., when Korea District was still celebrating the great victory of the national war, the Mitsubishi Command Center in the Japan Zone was equally jubilant—the Divine Artifact Destiny Coin had officially returned home. This signaled the commencement of the full-scale cleansing of the Japan Zone Camp.
At this moment, Igarashi solemnly patted the shoulder of Hirata Hirao, Japan’s number one in the Hell Race, world-renowned God-level Hero, and Mobility Master user, saying, "Hirata, although in many aspects you fall short and are even below average, precisely for such reasons, your talent in gaming far exceeds that of ordinary people, and it wouldn’t be excessive to call you a genius! The hope for our Japan to dominate the world lies with you!"
Hirata Hirao, "Hei! But, Chairman, even with a Divine Artifact, it only makes the impossible possible. It’s not so easy to swiftly wipe out the Elves."
Igarashi laughed heartily, "Hirata, you always speak too frankly, but rest assured, we will proceed steadily without rushing. After all, time is on our side!"
"Then I’m relieved."
. . .
In Vine Demon Space, Da Fei was having an enjoyable conversation with Tachiusu, who came to greet him.
Tachiusu smiled, "Taking this opportunity to help our neighbors and improve friendly relations is fantastic, though sadly our people are too few. I can only send 100 clansmen to assist, but we Vine Demons don’t handle the poisonous miasma of the swamp well, so could you please purchase a large amount of nectar as a nutritional supplement for us, Lord City Lord?"
Geez, is this a disguised demand for compensation? Da Fei laughed heartily, "No problem!"
Tachiusu continued, smiling, "The more nectar, the better, as it can increase our population."
Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched; it turns out nectar has such benefits? Speaking of which, doesn’t Anlicia have a beekeeping business on Fire Dragon Island?
Just then, Da Fei received another message, once again from Fleeting Blossom, "Brother Fei, you up early, huh? Logged in already?"
Is it early for you or for me? Da Fei chuckled, "Come to World Tree Square to pick up goods!"
(Today I finished the gastroscopy and felt awful afterward. Thankfully, I don’t have an ulcer; it’s merely superficial gastritis, which is said not to be a high-level illness, but combined with declining liver and gallbladder function, it’s tormenting me nearly to death.)
