Chapter 960 - 904: Bloodrose and Dragon Slayer’s Collaboration
After listening to Ouling’s account, Junxiang said calmly, "Your problem is my problem. I’ll definitely think of a way. If we’re going, we’ll go together. How about that?"
Ouling nodded, "Okay! But we just got to the Divine Punishment City. Is it appropriate to leave right away?"
Junxiang laughed in surprise, "Then what do you think we can do here with our current strength?"
Ouling sighed, "Indeed, powerless and weak."
Junxiang chuckled, "Actually, there’s still a purpose, which is to have a goal to strive for once we see the gap."
"Makes sense."
Da Fei opened his friends list and sent a message to the guild leader Bloodrose Rosa: "Duoduo beauty? I triggered an event; my vice hero is going to learn from a master." He also sent screenshots of Ouling and his alt account.
The power-leveling beauty immediately replied, "I’ll call Sister Ann over right away!"
Hahaha, even the power-leveling beauty knows the value of my triggered event, not to mention the higher-ups.
Although the NPC Kingdom doesn’t care about Rider Shooters, players definitely do. The Beastman has a specific class that combines the level 2 Centaur with the level 3 Wolf Rider for a mobile guerrilla combo. Everything is great except the fragile skin limits its power. Once the hidden level 6 Rider Shooter is revealed, it can attack, defend, and run, leaving others helpless!
Sure enough, Junxiang’s friend notification rang again. It was Bloodrose Holy Spear Sister Ann: "Brother Junxiang, how did you trigger the event?"
Da Fei had already thought of an excuse: "I saw the Demons have such high-end Flying Dragon Soldiers. We can’t fall behind by being infantry. So, I asked one NPC after another, finally meeting an NPC in full armor who said Ouling could learn, but must first find a master."
Bloodrose Holy Spear quickly asked, "Is that possible? Did you record a video?"
Junxiang sighed, "Sister, I was just trying my luck. How would I know to record a video?"
Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed, "That’s fine. The dialogue screenshot of Ouling is enough. I’ll call the guild leader over to discuss. Don’t take any action yet."
"Understood."
Oh yes, it’s done! I’ll leave this small matter to you large guilds, hahaha. As for now, I’m in the Nightmare Space, replenishing the energy of the Nightmare Crystal while idling to read and witness the growth of Nightmare Space firsthand.
Meanwhile, at Bloodrose Studio, Zhou Qing was just about to sleep after applying a face mask when an important report from Bloodrose Holy Spear arrived, startling Zhou Qing enough to drop a cucumber! Junxiang again? Is he really a legendary newbie with beginner’s luck? Or is he an undeniably skilled player?
Of course, the key now is that this Ouling is about to trigger a plot event, and this plot’s importance cannot be taken lightly by Bloodrose!
If successful, it means Ouling will become a Super Hero specializing in "Rider Shooter," leading a troop also composed of "Rider Shooter"! However, the Centaur Kirong Clan must be within the enemy’s Beastman territory, and without the Dark Alliance, or without the Dragon Slayer Guild’s assistance, it’s clearly impossible to complete. There’s even the possibility that the other side won’t cooperate.
Bloodrose Holy Spear asked, "Sister, what should we do? Should we collaborate with the Dark Alliance?"
Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and then nodded, "Collaborate! I’ll talk to Ma Yinglong right away."
Bloodrose Holy Spear was astonished, "Can we make it? We’ve never had any dealings with them."
Zhou Qing shook her head and smiled, "Isn’t now the start? They say it’s hard for a man to pursue a woman; for a woman to pursue a man, it’s just a thin layer of paper. As ladies, if we lower ourselves a bit and take the initiative, it’s always a bit easier to succeed."
...
At the Dragon Slayer Studio, it was already 11 PM, but for Ma Yinglong, a guild leader born as a night owl, it was still too early.
Ma Yinglong spent the whole day monitoring the progress of the Southeast Asia New Zone, from the server opening at noon to one hour later, when the first level 10 player emerged, then one low-level instance after another being systematically maxed out, and now, in less than a full day, players have already reached level 30! In the next nine days, a large group of 50-level vice heroes is expected to be trained.
The New Zone players, standing on the shoulders of giants from the old zones, are truly formidable, causing Ma Yinglong immense pressure. Especially the Vietnamese players, who focus uniformly on the Elf Clan. Their understanding and application of the jungle are not inferior to that of Star, truly like they grew up eating bananas! Or maybe the Japanese behind them are offering tips?
Besides pressure, Ma Yinglong also felt particularly lonely.
Indeed, the decision by the Dragon Slayer Guild to focus on the Dark Alliance in the China Region was wise; neither Ninth Heaven nor Star competed with him. All the Undead Forces, Beastman Forces, and Hell Power belonged to Dragon Slayer’s domain. But this also meant that the Dragon Slayer Guild had no true allies. Even in the National War Zone, even if Chinese players don’t fight against each other, in the essence of the game, Star and Ninth Heaven remain natural enemies of Dragon Slayer.
Although in recent days, Huang Zhen and Long Xiangtian have called me to their alliance meetings, Ma Yinglong knows that there’s really nothing for him here, as the Dark Alliance has no grounds for cooperation with them.
No matter, only weaklings need allies for protection. Like Da Fei, I’m going to be a lone powerhouse, damn it!
When Da Fei was mentioned, Ma Yinglong couldn’t help but turn his attention to the large screen of the Sulfur Sea. After two days of exploration, Thunder Fire Dragon has mapped out the area. This is a volcanic island in the Blood Sea, and there’s a sulfur mine spewing from the volcano!
The mines around the island are ordinary, but the one at the volcano’s mouth is uncertain. From a professional player’s perspective, it’s highly likely to be a tenfold rich mine. Ordinary mines wouldn’t exist in World Tree Space. But guarding the volcano’s mouth is a powerful mining boss that the Thunder Fire Dragon team cannot challenge at this stage.
And even more frustrating, even if they find the mine, they can’t transport it out. However, there must be a passage in the volcano’s mouth. In the end, Thunder Fire Dragon’s problem is this boss.
Ma Yinglong anxiously hopes that the Thunder Fire Dragon team will quickly grow and break through, while agonizingly thinking about the Elf mine at the Mercury Mine. How much mercury have the elves harvested today? As a player, the most painful thing is seeing something you can’t reach.
Just then, Ma Yinglong’s friend alert sounded. He absent-mindedly clicked it open and was stunned! Ma Yinglong instinctively shook his head and blinked, ensuring he wasn’t seeing things!
Bloodrose Rosa: "Brother Ma? Are you free tonight?"
Free tonight? Is this an invitation? Ma Yinglong immediately snapped back: "Beauty, I almost thought it was from someone else. Are you sure you didn’t send this by mistake, and you’re looking for me?"
Bloodrose Rosa chuckled: "How could I send such an important message by mistake? Of course, it’s for you, Brother Ma."
Ma Yinglong, feeling a bit flattered, said: "Really? What’s the issue that Little Huang and Little Long can’t solve and needs me?"
Speaking of this, there’s another annoying aspect of Dragon Slayer: female players typically choose the attractive Human Race or Elf, leaving almost no female players on the Dark Alliance side, which is also quite frustrating.
Bloodrose Rosa sent a screenshot of a conversation between Junxiang and Ouling.
In that instant, Ma Yinglong thought of everything imaginable and unimaginable! Playing dumb again, Ma Yinglong confirmed: "What’s the beautiful princess’s intention?"
Bloodrose Rosa laughed: "Collaboration! You guys can bring our heroes over to pay respects and in return, you conveniently discovered a high-end hidden force. Why not? Imagine on the National War battlefield, whether it’s your elite Centaur or our Rider Shooter, we can harass players from other countries to the point they can’t sleep! And by the time our Rider Shooters have developed on a large scale, you want to buy, we can sell them to you cheaply too! Anyway, Ouling’s manor is right at the border, so it’s convenient for transactions."
Great minds think alike! Ma Yinglong made a swift decision: "Alright! Let’s cooperate. I’ll convene a meeting to discuss this right away, and we must find out the lair of this hidden clan!"
Bloodrose Rosa giggled: "Brother Ma, please don’t find it and then develop it yourself, leaving me behind!"
Ma Yinglong laughed heartily: "If I’m that kind of person, curse my guild to not have a single female player!"
Bloodrose Rosa laughed: "What a vicious vow! Alright, I’ll make some arrangements too!"
After the call, Ma Yinglong excitedly shouted: "Call Chang Liang over, there’s a big opportunity!"
Meanwhile, Junxiang, who was idly waiting in Divine Punishment City, received a message personally from the guild leader, Da Fei smiled knowingly, patted Ouling, and said with a smile: "Buddy, we’ve got work to do."
Ouling excitedly asked: "Heading out now?"
Da Fei smiled: "Not just yet, we still need to search various elders and libraries to find the Kerong Clan’s location. During this time, let’s return to the farm where you were rewarded and focus on raising horses, warhorses! By the time you’re apprenticed, you can come back to train our troops! Even if we can’t find the place, selling the trained warhorses will bring in quite a bit of money!"
Ouling was surprised: "But training warhorses is difficult. Can we hire a professional horse trainer?"
That is indeed an issue, but not one Junxiang needs to worry about. He smiled and said: "Just start with the ordinary horses, they’re worth selling for a good bit to transport companies. We can’t let time and money idle, training Rider Shooters later will be a big expenditure."
Ouling was delighted: "Great! Let’s set off immediately!"
At this point, Da Fei finally took a deep breath, feeling incredibly sentimental! Surely the Bloodrose Studio and Dragon Slayer Command Center are in chaos now? Even my alternate character creates such a storm, how can my main character compare?
At this moment, Da Fei thought about the insights from the Heavenly Destiny Knight and Military Transporter’s notes he learned. Great, my insights will have successors. Once fully comprehended, I’ll pass them to the alt. Having the alt soar to the skies isn’t bad. But, the Military Transporter definitely can break through further. At that time, my main breaking through and still getting a note, that’s a buy-one-get-one-free deal, wahaha!
