The cheerful Da Fei found Tamilia: "I think the enemy forces have given us enough time. Once the battle begins, their power will be unimaginable. We’ve mined so much that there’s no need to get entangled with them. Do you think our Holy Vine’s ability to break through this dimensional interference is significant now?"
Tamilia frowned and said: "I think it’s possible. After all, the enemy forces have maintained their barrier for quite a while, which should consume a lot of energy. However, even so, it’s going to require a significant energy expenditure from the Holy Vine, possibly exhausting all the energy it absorbed in the early stages."
Da Fei exclaimed: "Exhaust all of it? Is it that severe? Wasn’t their barrier supposed to have little effect on the Lamp God space?"
Tamilia laughed: "My lord, the impact is significant. Even though the Lamp God space has the boost from the Transmission Artifact, the Holy Vine has also expended a considerable amount of energy. However, the Holy Vine’s consumption can compensate for the energy expenditure. More importantly, transmitting living beings and non-living beings are completely different concepts. Miss Hilda talked about this in class as well. Therefore, Mr. Sain’s space cannot transmit living beings."
You’ve attended classes too? Da Fei curiously asked: "So, what’s the difference between living beings and non-living beings?"
Tamilia responded: "Non-living beings are relatively static, three-dimensional matter. Living beings are dynamic, and four-dimensional matter, as an additional dimension needs to be calculated. This complexity is more challenging than installing a Teleportation Array on a moving ship. So, interfering with the transmission of living beings is much easier."
Oh my! Da Fei’s jaw dropped in astonishment. Are we playing some interstellar crossover now? The gods are still five-dimensional creatures that can freely cross these barriers? Anyway, I’m playing a fantasy game, not a sci-fi. Time to stop discussing these headache-inducing topics!
Da Fei had to ask: "Will the Holy Vine be downgraded if it exhausts too much energy?"
Tamilia was surprised: "Downgrade? What do you mean, Lord City Lord?"
Da Fei sighed: "You know, the area of the lake might shrink, and the space in the Central Village might contract."
Tamilia laughed: "I don’t think it will downgrade. It will just be unable to grow for a long time, requiring considerable resources to replenish the depleted energy."
So that’s the endless snatching rhythm! Da Fei nodded: "Alright, as long as we can escape at the critical moment, that’s fine. From now on, we need to store enough energy for escape. Before that, the production of evil demons must cease."
Tamilia nodded: "Understood. So far, the Holy Vine’s energy is in a super-saturated state, still sufficient to maintain the operation of the barracks and the grape vine."
Da Fei was pleased: "Very good. Then we’ll produce at full capacity before the enemy forces start their attack."
Just as they were talking, a notification dinged in the World Channel:
––World Channel: Attention all players, the world event ’God of Wine’s Wrath’ has been triggered! Players may encounter attendants or avatars of the God of Wine in the wild and even in cities. Please be vigilant."
The World Channel was in an uproar! Da Fei’s heart trembled, the God of Wine is finally making a move?
Just then, Da Fei’s friend notifications chimed! He opened it, and this time it wasn’t Bloodrose, but a long-missed South Korean girl, Li Yinzhu!
Li Yinzhu: "Oppa, something big has happened in the Holy Forest. The Unicorn King has been taken down!"
Da Fei was taken aback: "Taken down?"
Li Yinzhu replied: "Does Oppa know what’s going on?"
Oh my! He really left his last words and set a death flag for himself, huh? I only knew he was called Unicorn King, didn’t even know his real name!
Da Fei’s mind was mixed with emotions and he didn’t feel like talking to anyone anymore, so he just said perfunctorily: "Not really sure, he just invited me over for a sunbath yesterday."
Li Yinzhu replied: "Exactly, yesterday I saw Oppa and your Vice Heroes playing by the lakeside. I called you several times but you didn’t respond, I thought you’d gone offline. But everything seemed off this morning, no one was in the Holy Forest..."
So she saw it all? But what she saw was just the surface. Da Fei felt increasingly heavy-hearted, so he asked: "Were you at the scene? Any videos?"
Li Yinzhu hurriedly said: "Ah, I was too busy talking..."
The next moment, Da Fei received a video from Li Yinzhu, showing the entire scene covered with scorched earth and fire pits. The once shimmering lake now appeared murky, and countless Elf NPCs were fighting the raging forest fire around the scene.
Da Fei’s heart froze, this is a Divine War site! Am I supposed to face such an enemy? What a joke!
While still in shock, Da Fei’s friend notifications chimed again; this time from Bloodrose Qiqi and Bu Feiyan. Both had the same question: "Brother Fei, do you know what’s happening?"
Oh my! Why is everyone asking me? Like they’re convinced it’s my doing? Who among you saw what happened? Even the Japan Goddess from the victim’s side didn’t see it!
Da Fei found the explanation bothersome and had to deny everything: "Well, I don’t know, I’m really busy right now and can’t deal with all that! Let’s study it later."
"Sorry to bother you, Oppa!"
"Sorry to bother you, Brother Fei!"
"Wait!" Da Fei remembered something and added: "If any God of Wine clone or God of Wine attendant appears, please notify me immediately."
"Got it."
At this moment, upon receiving Da Fei’s denial, Li Yinzhu, Bloodrose, and Bu Feiyan simultaneously expressed disbelief. Every player worldwide could figure out that it was Da Fei who did it, so why deny it? But since the event had already occurred, they could only study how the God of Wine’s appearance would impact the National War Battlefield. At the very least, the Bright Alliance had lost a faction leader, and the situation was not optimistic.
Meanwhile, the Mitsubishi Team was in an uproar! This incident was definitely related to yesterday’s event in the Wine God Mysterious Realm. Although they didn’t know how Da Fei pulled it off, it didn’t matter. The God of Wine’s appearance would give the Hell Army an overwhelming advantage.
Encouraged by the favorable information, the Japan Zone began organizing a third large-scale gathering. This time, they planned to block the Teleportation Array in Cold Jade City, making it difficult for Chinese players to teleport to the Ancient Tree Wall Battlefield No. 3 to cause trouble.
...
Now, Da Fei found the three elders, faced with the imminent Divine War, it was only reliable to have a heart-to-heart with God-level experts.
And as NPCs, backed by the system’s main brain, they become "wise" as soon as world events are triggered, no need for players to explain nonsense.
So the three elders all asked: "Warrior, has the Unicorn King encountered any trouble?" "Is it related to this Secret Realm Stone?" "Isn’t it said that this stone was unwanted by the God of Wine, and then the Unicorn King obtained it from him?"
Oh man, let’s just let bygones be bygones. So what if I took it? I’m not returning it anyway.
Da Fei decided to cleverly avoid this awkward question: "I’ve always heard the Unicorn King has conflicting viewpoints with the God of Wine on treating women, but I didn’t expect their relationship to break down to this extent. Now the tragedy has happened, and the God of Wine might come to take back the stone. How do we respond?"
An elder sighed: "The God of Wine is a deity of both good and evil, and he becomes unpredictable after drinking, so most people keep a respectful distance. Now he’s in a furious state, even more unfathomable, we can only try our best to avoid him."
Another elder pointed at the pile of empty wine barrels by the pool and sighed: "If battle is unavoidable, I can only suggest that we fully develop our Wine God Barrier for defense. The biggest issue right now is that we’re running low on wine. Warrior, once you break out from the cave, quickly go and grab a batch of wine, hoping there’s still time."
Another elder sighed: "However, the stronger our barrier becomes, the more it may attract the attention of the God of Wine, resulting in immediate aggression from him. Strengthening the barrier might not necessarily be a good thing."
"Exactly, this kind of uncertain matter makes it inconvenient for us to offer any suggestions, you can only decide for yourself, Warrior."
The elders’ pessimistic tone made Da Fei feel uneasy! Let me decide for myself? Indeed, NPCs won’t interfere with such major tactical decisions, they only allow players to take them into consideration. Their perspective is similar to the Unicorn King’s. However, strengthening the barrier is certain—I wouldn’t halt my progress and cripple my own skills. The question is, in what manner will the God of Wine appear? Directly open a Space Gate and instantly teleport beside the Flying? That would be too terrifying!
And when thinking about facing off against the Demon King-level City Lord, Da Fei’s scalp tightened. If I exhaust all the Holy Vine’s energy to avoid the Demon King-level City Lord, and then encounter the God of Wine, wouldn’t I be in an ugly predicament? With a tiger in front and a wolf behind, am I in a hopeless situation now?
Tiger and wolf? Wait! At that moment, Da Fei suddenly had a breakthrough strategy! That is to drive the tiger to devour the wolf, find a way to pit the God of Wine against the Demon King in a fierce battle!
Da Fei exclaimed in surprise: "Elder, can the wine we currently have stored still launch another barrier?"
The third elder shook his head and sighed: "Beyond letting the God of Wine smell the wine scent, it will be difficult to make any major impact."
Da Fei laughed wildly: "I just want the God of Wine to smell the wine scent!" So, Da Fei proceeded to share his plan.
The three elders were shocked: "Warrior, but this means potentially being surrounded and attacked by two God-level experts, extremely dangerous!"
Da Fei gritted his teeth and said: "Forewarned is forearmed, our current situation is already dire beyond measure! Besides, my initial plan was to escape. It’s better if they both show up together when I run so I don’t have to run twice, just right to save escape energy!"
"Makes sense!" The three elders clapped hands excitedly: "Moreover, Warrior, if the God of Wine arrives, the enemy’s barrier definitely can’t withstand it. We can use the God of Wine’s power to dismantle the enemy’s barrier, and then seize the opportunity to escape, this way even escape energy is saved!"
Da Fei suddenly understood and was overjoyed: "Yeah! Let the God of Wine break this barrier!"
The three elders laughed loudly: "Alright, when the Warrior feels it’s suitable, we’ll use all the stored wine, then fully activate the barrier to summon the God of Wine!" (To be continued.
