After three days of national war, Da Fei almost forgot about Douglas and the group of slime monsters at the bottom of the Pool of Radiance.
When Da Fei arrived at the Pool of Radiance, he indeed found the surrounding pool water had turned crystal clear. The stone-statue ghost sentinels he had placed atop the seven Earthquake Factories along the lake shore were still quietly monitoring the area.
At this moment, Da Fei was genuinely amazed at how remarkably useful these stone-statue ghosts were! So many days had passed in the game, and they were still operational? No need for supplies or maintenance? As long as they’re not discovered, they’re like permanent surveillance cameras?
Under their watchful gaze, half of the heavy drilling equipment in the seven Earthquake Factories had started operating intermittently, while the other half of the factories were still barely functioning. Da Fei had a vague idea of what the general wanted from him.
Just then, there was a commotion around the teleportation array: "Da Fei!" "Da Fei is here!"
Da Fei turned his head, chuckled in surprise, and saw another batch of undercover classmates from Japan. He thought to himself, heh, I’ve been gone for a day or two, what are you guys still doing here? He instinctively glanced towards the shoreline and saw three medium-sized boats had appeared at the pier.
Da Fei smiled even wider, thinking they were afraid he’d be bored with nothing to do.
At that moment, a group of NPCs hurried over, led by the long-lost garrison general, General Ragnar. He excitedly greeted, "Warrior, you’ve finally come! Your achievements in Cold Jade City have dealt a heavy blow to the Demon Race’s sulfur mines in the rear, preventing them from launching further pollution assaults on the Pool of Radiance for over two weeks. Thanks to the slime monsters you deployed, our Pool of Radiance has regained its effectiveness, buying precious time for the World Tree’s recovery."
—System Prompt: You have completed the battle mission "Purify the Polluted Pool of Radiance" issued by General Ragnar of the Elf Kingdom. You have gained +10 million Experience, +100,000 Alliance Reputation, 10 Skill Books, and an Alliance troop recruitment quota with 1000 Command Value.
Da Fei couldn’t help but chuckle! This counts as completing a major task while lying down asleep, awesome! And with this kind of skill book reward, I can fill up all the skills of my vice heroes with no problem.
Then the general’s tone turned solemn: "However, our victory is only temporary. The Demon Race, unwilling to accept defeat, has resumed operations at the Earthquake Factories and deployed even stronger and higher-end forces. Before long, the Pool of Radiance will erupt in another intense battle. Please, warrior, be sure to assist our army in defending against the enemy’s attacks!"
Alright, since they’re sincerely asking for my help, I can’t find any reason to refuse. I’ll finally wrap up the mission I hesitated to complete on the first day of battle. Da Fei nodded: "General, don’t worry. My warship will be repaired in a day or two. By then, I’ll definitely be back for the fight!"
The general nodded with satisfaction: "With your assurance, I am at ease! It’s said that your warship is being repaired and enhanced under the personal supervision of Lord Silena. We can already imagine how powerful it will be when it takes to the water again!"
Da Fei laughed and said: "It should be a warship that’s ready to fly again!"
The general laughed: "Alright, warrior, I also heard that His Majesty the Elf King wishes to see you. Take the time before the great battle to pay your respects to His Majesty. He is very pleased with your performance on various battlefronts and will certainly offer you rewards. Please try to select a reward that benefits the Pool of Radiance campaign!"
Darn it! This general really has his own agenda, doesn’t he? Da Fei chuckled with surprise: "Okay, General, rest assured then, I’ll be preparing on my ship!"
"Great, I look forward to seeing you again in two days!"
After finishing the conversation, Da Fei didn’t linger and immediately flashed back to Cold Jade City through the teleportation array. Now there are so many chores on the ship, there’s surely a big need, all to be reported to the King, haha!
Just as Da Fei returned to the ship, Tamilia appeared: "Lord City Lord, I have transplanted the grapevine beside the Holy Vine Center Lake, but unfortunately, the effect cannot be seen; the Holy Vine Space is in extreme need of nutrients to support it."
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched: "You mean, we need a big battle to collect a large number of corpses?"
Tamilia laughed: "Exactly! In addition, we already have over a hundred evil demons, and with their help, the Holy Vine will absorb the corpse nutrients even faster. During this more than half a month of repairs, our reserve energy has been exhausted, and no new evil demons have been produced. I suggest using the gained nutrients to produce evil demons first, increasing their numbers. I estimate we need at least 100 evil demons to meet the digestion needs of the Holy Vine!"
Darn it, it’s all planned out! I like it!
Da Fei nodded: "Alright, be patient; in a day or two, we’ll have a big battle."
Tamilia added with a smile: "Moreover, the Silena Ancient Tree has successfully integrated the Incomplete Divine Artifact, Heart of Insect Nest, and can now produce Burst Beetles, but it urgently needs a lot of nutrients, as it’s very hungry right now!"
Darn it! It really can produce beetles, a land-based self-destructing carrier! This forces me to have a big battle! No, one battle isn’t enough. My initial goal was to take a hit on Japan and even fix Red Name Village’s warehouse!
Da Fei couldn’t help but get excited: "Got it, wait patiently. I’ll go check on Savara’s progress!"
So, Da Fei entered the Holy Vine Cargo Space, and the first thing he saw was Savara leisurely reading a book on the dragon’s back, while the previously Red Name Dragon Mother had now turned Yellow Name! Success! The reason for the neutral Yellow Name was that Savara wasn’t Da Fei’s vice hero, so the dragon mother she tamed might not even count as a follower, and as such, Da Fei couldn’t check Cindigosar’s attributes.
Seeing Da Fei arrive, Savara jumped down from the dragon’s back excitedly to report: "Report, sir, I have successfully subdued Cindigosar! I am now a bona fide Dragon Knight!"
Da Fei was overjoyed: "Great, can it do aerial combat?"
Savara smiled: "I am eager to gain proficiency through actual combat."
Da Fei asked again, "So do the mount and hero share life together?"
Savara nodded, "Of course, that’s the purpose of riding skills, but—" Savara frowned, "Once I suffer defeat, as a hero I naturally won’t die, but the mount..."
Da Fei’s heart tightened, it can’t be that inconvenient, can it?
Cindigosar said coldly, "Did you become heroes because you’re afraid of death? I never fear death!"
Oh crap! I’m afraid you’ll die! If you do, not only would I lose a Dragon Taming Divine Artifact, but where would I find another Mount Dragon? Come to think of it, Deirdre became a hero because of the fear of death.
Savara immediately refuted, "Heroes are warriors reaching the pinnacle of fearlessness, the crystallization of courage and wisdom; ignoring death doesn’t mean bravery, your despondency is why you can’t advance further!"
Cindigosar sneered, "Try being captured as a breeding machine yourself!" freeweɓnøvel.com
Savara angrily said, "I was trapped in the Ice Sea Dragon Tomb for many years; I didn’t even have a body left, can you compare misery with me?"
Cindigosar scoffed, "I don’t believe you weren’t ever hopeless and despondent!"
Oh crap! They’re at it again! Da Fei quickly interrupted their argument, "Can Cindigosar become a hero?"
Savara sighed, "I don’t know!"
Cindigosar said coldly, "No interest!"
Da Fei took a deep breath, "Alright, the big battle is in a day or two, get ready everyone!"
Savara excitedly said, "Can’t wait! If it’s convenient, I would apply to lead a Dragon Clan Army since my specialty is Dragon Clan troops."
Da Fei nodded, "Alright, I can recruit Jade Dragon Army at the Pool of Radiance battlefield."
Da Fei looked up at Silena nearby and wondered, "Why isn’t Silena speaking?"
Silena muttered, "Hungry! Conserving energy, please don’t engage in pointless conversation with me."
Da Fei laughed in surprise, "Alright, hang in there for two days!"
Faced with the overwhelming desire for battle from his subordinates, Da Fei realized what to request from the King in rewards: not territory, not Divine Artifacts, not troops; these things are fleeting clouds in front of Da Fei now. What Da Fei urgently needs is the protection of God-level Experts! Da Fei dared not dismantle their factory or bombard them with the Sky Ship during his initial battle at the Pool of Radiance for fear of drawing out powerful Demon God-level experts.
As for now, having already taken down two Demon God-level experts, there’s no need to worry. Let’s introduce everyone to the King.
However, it seems Deirdre has something else going on, better check on her situation.
So Da Fei went to the Lilim Camp, where Deirdre, with a dark red "Bikini" name above her head, lay lazily on the large bed in the camp, smiling charmingly, "My lord, you’re here!"
What the heck! What’s this all about? Is this some kind of offering? Does the game have such hidden content? Yet, this extremely red name makes me feel very uncomfortable!
Just as Da Fei was lost in thought, Deirdre transformed into a cloud of smoke and instantly appeared behind him, hugging from behind and whispering softly in his ear, "My lord, I’ve successfully absorbed a Demon Race General’s Hero Power, greatly enhancing my strength, but it’s still not enough. I want to continue infiltrating the enemy camp, striving to gain even more power, especially rewards from the Demon King!"
Only then did Da Fei snap back to attention, nodding repeatedly, "Good! Great! I’ve always supported you!"
Deirdre smiled, "What if it requires us to kill one of our important commanding officers?"
Da Fei laughed loudly, "It’s not like we haven’t done it before; I’m still on the same side!"
Deirdre joyfully said, "Great, once your warship leaves Cold Jade City, I will set off. My strength now is much greater than before; I don’t dare leave the camp, otherwise, I’d immediately be discovered by the barrier of Silena Ancient Tree."
So that’s it! Da Fei nodded, "Alright, get prepared, it’s just a matter of a day or two." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit qidian.com to give your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
