Chapter 799 - 757: Bloodrose’s Welcome Tea Party Invitation
Beijing Time, eight in the evening, rented apartment in a school district.
Little Li was in the kitchen scrubbing pots and washing dishes, while Little Fang was simultaneously running five accounts, busy as a bee. However, her main account, Fleeting Blossom, and Little Li’s Harem Beauty were just hanging out at the canal site supervising, so there was no pressure. Big Brother’s Junxiang was idling in the instance group of Zhan Liuxing, who was allegedly a retired National Team member, so there was no pressure there either, although some people in the team seemed to be gossiping a bit.
Hah! If there’s gossip, it means this guy Zhan Liuxing hasn’t completely settled his own crew yet. Did he really think bringing out a big group to show off in front of me would scare me? If he wants to show off, he should do it in front of Bloodrose’s women, not me. I don’t have any obligation to report to Bloodrose how many people he’s got. I’m busy idling, ignoring that.
But you, Fat Man in the Rain, can you stop messaging me all the time? It’s annoying, and I’m honestly too lazy to deal with you! Whatever, I’ll just respond with a ’haha’ and be done with it.
At this moment, Little Fang’s main focus was on the grand task of collecting with Blood Arrow Fragrance and Blood Arrow Linglong.
I have to say, the experience from gathering from the giant dragon’s corpse was so high that it made Little Fang lose her cool. After an afternoon and dinner time, the gathering skills of these two small accounts shot up to Master Level like a rocket. Leveling a trade skill this quickly is simply a myth!
As for the Dragon Blood Barrels collected, they filled more than half the square. Heaven knows how many God-level potions can be made from so much dragon blood!
Strong! Too strong! High-end! Really high-end! I need to stay calm, adapt, and let Bloodrose’s women look up at me in awe! Haha, wahahaha! Ah, no, if they take secret pictures of me under my skirt and spread them around, that’s no good!
At this moment, a call came in from Fleeting Blossom’s side.
Hey, I’ve already said I’m busy with important stuff, can’t I be left alone if there’s nothing urgent? Little Fang grumpily switched over to find an old friend, Shenzhi, the logistics head of Ninth Heaven.
Shenzhi: "Beautiful lady, I’ve got good news for you. Our Ninth Heaven Guild revisited the canal excavation plan you proposed a few days ago and found it feasible. Our guild has decided to invest in your Canal Company to help speed up the opening."
Hah! Where were you earlier? I’ve already got an invincible excavator, what use are you investing now? Just sitting by for dividends? But this is a large guild wanting to invest, so what if we don’t agree—
Little Fang furrowed her brow and shouted to the kitchen: "Honey! There’s a big deal, come take a look!"
"Coming! Let me just dry my hands!" Little Li said as she walked into the room. "What’s up?"
Little Fang said solemnly: "For some reason, Ninth Heaven suddenly wants to invest in our Canal Company. What should we do?"
Little Li exclaimed: "Isn’t it a good thing to have someone invest? And such a big guild, people will think twice before messing with us!"
Little Fang shook her head with a bitter smile: "I just feel annoyed. When we needed their help the most, they didn’t come, and now when we don’t, they show up just for a share."
Little Li frowned: "There’s no law on the internet. If we refuse and piss them off, what if they send people to smash our excavator? Our one or two thousand troops might not block a large guild’s team."
Little Fang tightened her brow: "Exactly, that’s Da Fei’s excavator. If they send small accounts to smash it, I can’t explain to Da Fei."
Little Li sighed: "How about this, the Canal’s progress today was entirely due to Da Fei lending us this excavator. He didn’t set any conditions, so we might as well allocate 20% or 25% shares to Da Fei, as a sort of conciliatory gesture. Otherwise, if Da Fei has no shares while Ninth Heaven does, anyone would flip tables. Also, we can tell Ninth Heaven our company includes Da Fei’s shares, so they’ll be wary of bullying us."
Little Fang bitterly smiled: "Fine, a perfectly good wholly-owned company now suddenly has two more to share with. But this can’t be helped; being a boss sometimes goes wrong when you try to make money all on your own!"
Little Li also bitterly smiled: "Think of it as hiring two bodyguards."
Little Fang sighed: "Let’s do it, then. That’s what I’ll tell Ninth Heaven."
Little Li nodded: "Alright, I’ve finished washing, I’ll take over my account then."
Before long, Little Fang reached an agreement with Shenzhi.
Shenzhi laughed: "We’ll definitely give Brother Fei face. On behalf of Ninth Heaven, I thank you, beautiful lady. And another big thing, our Bright Alliance’s four large guilds just held a meeting to form an alliance. As the owner of the Canal Company, you are a crucial part of our strategic plan, so I’m offering you a video chat room, the password is 168888. The chat is all guild leaders and high-ups from the four large guilds, and we warmly welcome you to join!"
Video chat! What I hate most is video chats! Little Fang’s eyelid twitched in surprise: "Which four large guilds?"
Shenzhi laughed: "You’re kidding, of course it’s Ninth Heaven, Star, Bloodrose, and Royal Family, oh right, and Blood Sea Wave’s Blood Sea Guild. Soon, the dwarf side’s Skyshattering Thunder may establish a dwarf guild, they’re also on our invite list..."
At that moment, Little Fang suddenly realized: "I finally understand why Ninth Heaven suddenly came to us!"
Little Li exclaimed: "Bloodrose?"
Little Fang gritted her teeth and said, "Exactly! Who else would be keeping an eye on our progress? Surely they realized we have an invincible excavator, so they exposed us and then let Ninth Heaven forcefully intervene. This way, when Bloodrose wants to use our canal, we have to let them through for the sake of Ninth Heaven and whatever alliance’s face! Originally, I planned that on the day the canal opened, I’d never let Bloodrose’s ships pass!"
Little Li smiled wryly and said, "Well, this result is still about cherishing harmony, which isn’t bad for either party. So, what about this video chat group?"
Little Fang scoffed, "Of course I’m not going! Who would reveal themselves online? At worst, Bloodrose’s ladies will slander me as a shemale! Forget it, we’ll use the Luo Tianyi voice-changing software as usual."
Just then, Little Fang’s message alert went off again. This time, it was Blood Arrow Fragrance, from Bloodrose Holy Spear.
Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed, "Two beauties, at 6 PM Saturday evening, our guild will host a welcome tea party for you at Bloodrose Cafe in Green Lake Park. We officially invite you two, along with your big brother. He’s also attending!"
Little Fang was stunned, "Do we have to come?"
Bloodrose Holy Spear chuckled, "We’re all in the same city, just take a subway and you’ll be there. There’s no inconvenience, right? Otherwise, Vice President Lin won’t look good, and the sisters won’t be happy!"
Little Fang chuckled, "Ah, in that case, it’s all good!"
Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed, "Alright then, that’s settled—Oh by the way, any updates on Divine Punishment City?"
What updates? Isn’t it all clearly monitored on your big screens? Little Fang chuckled, "Some demon soldiers have started gathering on the plains below the city again. Da Fei’s Elf Hero and the two Flower Demon Heroes said they have issues back home and aren’t around. Only the dwarf hero is still with us, skinning."
Bloodrose Holy Spear said, "Okay, very well, report any changes at once."
"Got it."
Little Fang sighed deeply, "It’s really annoying, having to attend an offline meet-up." Then she chuckled, "Right, big brother is in his thirties, not young anymore, isn’t he the one who’d want to go to such events? Better call him and see if he can make it back from his business trip."
Little Li shook her head and took out her phone, "Alright, I’ll ask."
...
Meanwhile, Da Fei, drifting through the Hellfire River in the European Union Zone, was irritable and frustrated.
He had been spinning and drifting on the river for over an hour now, failing repeatedly without stop. Even if he failed, as long as he could gain some skill information, Da Fei would see hope and firm confidence, but now the situation was completely hopeless.
And things got worse half an hour ago—Da Fei’s troops began losing health and stamina! This is the proverbial slow-boiling frog, and this isn’t even warm water; it’s the Hellfire River that can melt stones! This is like cooking a bunch of angel teppanyaki!
But it’s okay, Da Fei has recovery equipment that can hold out, and angels are miraculous troops with comprehensive abilities to mutually heal and restore stamina and mana. Currently, the impact on Da Fei isn’t too significant.
But how long will this endless failure continue? Or has his training idea been flawed from the start, since the Hellfire River inherently doesn’t support Sailing Skill? Teaching units Sailing Skill here is like daydreaming?
But then again, the Hellfire River should be the most treacherous sailing environment encountered by Da Fei as a sailor. Isn’t such an environment supposed to foster talent development? Moreover, is the Hellfire River really not supporting Sailing Skill at all, or is the effect of Sailing Skill, like my Sea Monster Hunter Achievement, greatly weakened?
While pondering, the phone rang. Da Fei took off his helmet to see it was Little Li.
Da Fei hurried to the window and opened it. The noise outside rushed in again. Da Fei answered the call, "Little Li? What’s up?"
Little Li chuckled, "Good news, are you going to the matchmaking event?"
Ah, pfft! Da Fei spat out a mouthful of saliva, "What matchmaking event?"
Little Li laughed, "Actually, it’s the day after tomorrow evening, Bloodrose Guild’s welcome tea party. The three of us are invited, and I hear there are lots of beauties there."
Damn it! They’re intentionally trying to make life difficult for me! But, I must go to a place with lots of beauties! Da Fei said eagerly, "I’ll do my best to get back!"
Little Li smiled, "Alright, remember to wear something proper. The beauties there reportedly have high tastes."
"Got it, got it!" Huh, no matter how high their tastes are, I’ll knock them out with one shot!
