Chapter 1442 - 1341: Preparing to Seize the Mine

The British Royal Ark Team and the teams from the European Union Zone quickly agreed on negotiations in the Red Name Village. In the next moment, the red names who had been fishing for a long time stood up and left the village. Undoubtedly, these long-term fishermen are the true main players of the Red Name Village; only they can handle the monsters and bosses outside the village.

Although Da Bing and others know that they are up to a grand plan to "seize the treasure," this feeling of the whole world taking action except notifying us in China is really unpleasant.

Da Bing couldn’t help but ask knowingly, "So, where are you all headed?"

Italian player Super Mario shook his head and smiled, "You understand. But it’s best if you don’t follow; you know why."

"Damn!" Da Bing expressed his discontent and continued to sit down to fish.

One Sword Eastward scoffed, "Never mind, Brother Fei said that everyone is welcome to the Red Name Village, knowing his kind of temperament, his welcome means it’s genuinely welcome."

Da Liu nodded, "Exactly, just treat it as attracting investment for Brother Fei’s city building."

Everyone chimed in, "Just in time, we can make room so we’re not crowded while fishing."

Da Bing shook his head, "Anyway, I am annoyed seeing them blatantly opposing us."

Da Liu sighed, "Ultimately, it’s because we’re not skilled. Everyone, work hard to become stronger. I’m pulling another all-nighter tonight."

Da Bing said irritably, "What do you mean another all-nighter? I’ve lost track of how many consecutive all-nighters I’ve pulled. Da Wei stayed up all night for an entire week!"

Da Liu replied irritatedly, "He’s a tough guy from the athletics team, while we’re seasoned gamers. We can’t compare."

Some female guild members asked, "We’ve never seen the Da Wei you mentioned since joining the guild. He’s challenging Fire Dance Fierce Battle, is he really strong?"

Da Liu chuckled bitterly, "Hard to describe; in terms of gaming skills, he’s definitely a newbie. Before playing this game, he hadn’t played any games. But his determination in playing games—well, he’s experiencing emotional distress."

The female players curiously asked, "What’s this emotional distress about?"

Da Liu laughed, "His girlfriend ran off with a rich guy! And it was with her beautiful roommate!"

The female players gasped, "This rich guy is generous, he even goes for double action!"

Da Bing waved his hand unpleasantly, "Stop talking, Da Liu! I say, ladies, it’s 1:30 AM, why not wash up and go to sleep? Make sure you’re in good spirits to accompany Brother Hao tomorrow!"

The female players laughed, "Got it!"

"I would like to meet Brother Hao!"

"What if Brother Hao wants to take us flying when he meets us?"

Da Bing angrily said, "You’re all just teasing us single dogs, hurry up and log off!"

"Haha, got it!"

...

It’s 1:30 AM, and the large-scale actions of red names from various countries in Red Name Village have also caught the attention of the major guilds in the China Region. The received news had various leaders rubbing their sleepy eyes as they met in the chat room.

"Good morning!"

"Good morning, everyone!"

"Oh, good morning to the lovely Bloodrose!"

Bloodrose Holy Spear sighed, "It’s tough for all of you to wake up so early."

Divine Emperor asked, "What did Da Fei say?"

Bloodrose Holy Spear sighed, "Qiqi sent him a message right away, but there’s no reply. He’s probably AFK sleeping."

Divine Emperor chuckled bitterly, "While fighting in the National War Zone, he sleeps soundly."

Bloodrose Holy Spear sighed, "We’re disadvantaged by the time difference."

Royal Dominator laughed heartily, "What are you all worried about? The Da Fei Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce is steadily fishing, Fleeting Blossom hasn’t logged on, and the people involved aren’t anxious, why should we be?"

Eternal Star muttered, "Is that steady? They’re all a bunch who can’t hold their ground... Forget it, I’ll just say if the European Union really discovers rare resources, we should all take action together, got it?"

Divine Emperor nodded, "No problem, let them know the China Region’s strength lies in our numbers."

Royal Dominator laughed, "My strength lies in following the professional experts while I play support!"

Ma Yinglong laughed, "This time, you should take me along, right?"

The leaders laughed, "Great, the duty of leading the charge and demonstrating our country’s awe falls on Boss Ma!"

Ma Yinglong laughed, "Alright, I’ll take care of the lead this time. My third-line players will go all out; I want to enjoy this."

Eternal Star was stunned: "No way? Third string? Boss Ma, do you intend to boost our national prestige?"

Ma Yinglong scoffed: "You all know my main force has gone to the Great Wilderness. I’m training the backup team. Don’t worry, even if we lose people, we won’t lose face; we’ll drown them out if we have to."

Eternal Star nodded: "Alright, if anything comes up, find Uranus and Captain Jiang. I’m going back to sleep."

"No, no, no!" Royal Dominator laughed: "Everyone’s here already. Let’s talk about something big on my end. I’ve got good news, I’ve reached the Dark Tide Temple."

Ma Yinglong: "What the hell is the Dark Tide Temple?"

Royal Dominator boasted: "Let the video do the talking, but no making a fuss and no questions, okay?"

Bloodrose Holy Spear chuckled: "Why can’t we even ask questions?"

Royal Dominator laughed: "Because I don’t really know the answers myself! Anyway, after you see it, same old rule, we all chip in!"

Ma Yinglong scoffed: "I’ll just watch for free, I’m not paying, haha!"

Royal Dominator said seriously: "That’s up to you, Boss Ma. The Dark Tide Lord recruits people regardless of faction."

"Recruit people?" When Royal Dominator suddenly became serious, Ma Yinglong couldn’t help but feel curious: "Alright, let us have a look."

"Watch the video!"

As the video was uploaded to the chat room, a bustling pier appeared on the screen, teeming with various Fishmen and Naga busy loading and unloading cargo. The camera then switched to focus on Royal Dominator, who was standing next to a Naga Female Hero and a long-lost Half-Elf hero.

Bloodrose Holy Spear exclaimed: "A Naga Female Hero! Did the boss recruit her?"

Royal Dominator sighed with a smile: "Of course, it was recruited by Da Fei, deliberately left in the Eastern World to carry goods for him. Do you see that giant ship at the dock? That’s one from Elorin’s factory, plus two more large ships, all left by Da Fei for this Female Naga."

The crowd of top players erupted: "No way? That’s insane!"

Royal Dominator sighed: "I told you not to make a fuss, I wouldn’t dare show you the main course otherwise."

The crowd of top players gasped: "There’s something even crazier than this?"

"Just watch closely!"

As Royal Dominator opened the character equipment bar, everyone was stunned beyond words! Bloodrose Holy Spear covered their mouth to keep from shouting!

Royal Dominator sighed: "Alright, alright, you can ask now!"

The crowd of top players exclaimed: "How do you have an extra weapon, glove, and ring equipment slots?"

Royal Dominator laughed: "It’s because I have an extra hand, half a glove equipment slot, given by the Dark Tide Lord. It’s a special benefit for being the guild leader, my other team members don’t have it. So, folks, as long as you can get to the Dark Tide Temple, it’s like being given an extra hand. Interested?"

The crowd of top players exclaimed: "No way! Just like that?"

Royal Dominator was shocked: "Simple? You guys only see the results, not the process. Having this Naga Female Hero as a guide made it simple! I only got her cooperation because of my shareholder status with Lord Da Fei! Let me show you another video!"

Then Royal Dominator sent another video, showing a nautical scene from their perspective. The surrounding waves were huge, the sky dark, and thunder roared, but around the fleet, there was a small, clear, peaceful circle of sky!

The crowd of top players was flabbergasted: "Is this the benefit of having a Naga Female Hero as a guide?"

Royal Dominator sighed: "Exactly, did you see that lighthouse with the starry shimmer on the horizon? That’s the Dark Tide Temple, this area is the Dark Tide Sea. The Sea Race’s giant whale and turtle transport caravans pass below the sea surface unaffected, but human surface fleets have to risk their lives to get through. You see in the previous video, apart from Da Fei’s fleet, there were no other NPC ships at the pier, right?"

Bloodrose Holy Spear exclaimed: "I can’t imagine how Da Fei got through it all!"

Royal Dominator gave a wry smile: "It’s a mystery I don’t bother to think about, I just follow behind the experts and play support. So, folks, are you in or not?"

The crowd of top players exclaimed with joy: "Of course we’re in! Where do we board the ship?"

Royal Dominator laughed: "That’s the right spirit. First, I’ll lend some money to open a trade route from the Dark Tide Temple to the Lighthouse Islands. It’s a huge amount, settled with pearls. I can’t handle it alone. Then this Naga Female Hero’s fleet will come to the Lighthouse Islands for trade. At that time, you all can board her ship, but remember, the goods from our island have to be top-notch, mainly good wine and weapons, or she won’t come by this route again. If we don’t pay off this debt in the allotted 3-month period, besides canceling the route, I have no idea what else might happen."

The crowd of top players responded with excitement: "No problem! Just good wine and weapons, the Dwarf Kingdom has plenty. We’ll have Skyshattering Thunder running 26 hours a day, full blast!"

Royal Dominator shook his head: "No, the player-level stuff is still too low, we need an NPC like the Prince to step up. With the Prince’s money-grubbing nature, convincing him shouldn’t be too hard."

The crowd of top players laughed: "Alright, we’ll have people start gathering goods immediately."

Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed: "I’ll get our big sister up right away!"

The crowd of top players laughed: "No need, no need, let the lady sleep a bit longer. We’re here, she can rest assured, we’ll call her when the time comes."

Ma Yinglong patted his head and let out a long sigh: "The Bright Alliance really knows how to play, I can’t keep up with you guys’ pace!"

Bloodrose Holy Spear laughed: "What can we do, the world’s number one expert is in the Bright Alliance."

All of a sudden, the crowd of top players burst into laughter, and their sleepiness vanished as they eagerly awaited the progress from Red Name Village while discussing future Eastern Ocean strategies.
