Chapter 1424: Chapter 1323: Call My Little Sister

Having achieved a major breakthrough in the Mushroom Forest, Da Fei found himself at a loose end. All he could do now was continue to log off and wait idly for Tamilia to return.

Feeling bored, Da Fei removed his helmet to stretch a little, then opened the window for some fresh air. As soon as the window opened, the smell of greasy smoke mixed with the clamor from the night market food street below rushed in.

This scent, refreshing! Da Fei had been eating boxed meals for the past couple of days and was beginning to crave the idea of rushing downstairs for some barbecue and a couple of beers for a good time. However, he decided to hold back because he would likely be pulling an all-nighter, and drinking might lead to trouble.

Da Fei forced himself to close the window and resist the temptation. He thought to himself how, although he had become rich, he wasn’t as carefree as when he was poor. Life really can be frustrating. Then he remembered Bloodrose’s invitation from Yanran’s smile, which only added to his indecision.

Speaking of Bloodrose, I wonder how my sister is doing. Da Fei then gave Little Li a call.

Little Li picked up quite quickly: "Brother? What’s up?"

Da Fei chuckled, "Nothing much, just calling to check in. Are you free to talk?"

Little Li laughed, "Uh, sure, it’s convenient. Little Fang is taking a shower. I’m out on the balcony."

Showering, eh? Da Fei let his imagination run for a second before shaking his head and clearing his mind: "Oh, I was just wondering, what’s the progress on your end?"

Little Li replied eagerly, "Divine Punishment City? There’s no problem. That Giant Cannon Brother left has such a long range that even if the Japan Team’s players develop powerful Summoned Demons, they can’t get close enough to bother us. On the contrary, our Little Pig Run’s guerrilla tactics have made significant progress, successfully ambushing and looting many items from the Hell NPC’s rear bases multiple times."

Da Fei couldn’t help but laugh, "That Giant Cannon wasn’t easy to come by, you guys better use it well."

Little Li laughed back, "Of course. Now that there’s no garrison officer, everyone in the guild treats that cannon like a treasure. We have three shifts of members guarding it 24/7."

Da Fei asked, "Since there’s no garrison officer, won’t the NPCs send another one?"

Little Li was surprised, "Hmm, there’s no sign of that. It seems that after the European Union Zone’s garrison officer was killed, there’s been no new candidate until now."

Da Fei furrowed his brow, "Not having one isn’t a feasible long-term solution. We need to figure out a way to trigger the plot and appoint a new one!" That’s right, reappoint one to take Ror’s place so she can never get back to her post and has to stay with me forever, haha, mwahaha!

Little Li said, "I see, well, I’ll propose that to the guild leader."

Da Fei nodded in satisfaction, even if he didn’t have high hopes, just having the idea and awareness mattered.

At that moment, Little Li added, "By the way, Fleeting Blossom has started leading high-reputation players from major China Region guilds on the missions arranged by Sain. They’re all the same missions, investigating the Time City ruins."

Oh! With so much extra business and an achievement I sent his way, Sain should probably get a promotion, right? Da Fei asked, "How’s that mission going?"

Little Li sighed, "Tough! Easy scenes yield no task items, and venturing a bit deeper into the ruins, the monsters are unexpectedly tough. Oh, and the three major guilds and Skyshattering Guild found a Space Gate in the dwarf’s World Window space that probably leads to the central area of the Time City ruins. They plan to take Fleeting Blossom and attempt a scene exploration in the next couple of days."

Skyshattering Thunder, huh, I’ve almost forgotten about them. Da Fei asked, "What does the scene look like?"

"Uh, it’s also a city ruin in the desert, but it’s much taller than the outer ruins. Occasionally, sand gathers into Sand Soldiers that suddenly appear and are very powerful."

Sand Soldiers? Summoned creatures? Elemental Life? Da Fei nodded, "If you can beat them, great. If not, focus on collecting information about those monsters. When I’m ready, I’ll come back and lead them."

Little Li said happily, "Got it."

Da Fei continued to ask, "By the way, let me know if you have any other difficulties, so I can prepare."

Little Li sighed, "Difficulties, huh, of course, when Fleeting Blossom returned the Sandworm Mining Machine, it ruined the plan to excavate Duke William’s House’s mountain tunnel. In fact, Fleeting Blossom is developing Mage City to see if they can get a mining machine there."

Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched. A mining machine? I just happen to have an extra! But I’ll have to go back to the country to talk about it. Da Fei laughed, "The mining machine isn’t a problem. When the time comes, I’ll double—no, triple—her delayed progress."

Little Li exclaimed, "No wonder you’re the legendary Brother Fei; if someone else said that, I wouldn’t believe it. Alright, Little Fang’s almost done with her shower, I’m hanging up now. Brother, take care tonight."

"Got it, you too."

After the call, Da Fei let out a long breath. Indeed, talking with someone you trust can really make you feel much better when you’re feeling bored and stifled.

Preparing to go back and lead people, huh? I better be fully prepared. However, with the way things are progressing in building a city in the Japan Zone, who knows how long this National War will last? What if it drags on for a week or ten days, or even half a month? That would be a huge delay! Everything else can be dealt with, but the development progress of Duke William’s House affects the progress of the Divine Punishment City’s Nightmare Space. If it’s delayed too long, it could be a real problem.

It’s just a mining machine, isn’t it? Da Fei’s eyebrow twitched. Why not teleport the newly captured Hellcrusher back to the country? But even if it’s teleported back, it would first arrive in Red Name Village. Do they have the ability to transport the machine out of Red Name Village?

This is a problem! Anyway, I can only think about it slowly. Better go back and continue logging in and watch things develop in the helmet.

...

Meanwhile, at Little Li and Little Fang’s dormitory. Little Fang, wrapped in a towel and coming out of the shower, casually wiped her hair while asking, "Honey, who were you on the phone with just now? I feel like something’s off with you today."

Little Li replied irritably, "I was on the phone with my dad, what’s so off about that?"

Little Fang laughed, "No way! I clearly heard you laughing so happily. Don’t tell me you’ve gotten back together with Da Wei?"

Little Li frowned, "Can you not bring him up? Stop being such a busybody. I just mentioned the thing about selecting a new garrison officer with the guild leader and he left the whole thing to us. Who do you think we should nominate?"

Little Fang replied, slightly annoyed, "Why bother with choosing a garrison officer? We’re busy enough with our own endeavors. You’re so keen on doing things for the guild."

Little Li dismissed it, "Narrow-minded! Short-sighted woman!"

Little Fang, exasperated, said, "Alright, alright. As far as I know, the only Angel qualified that I’ve seen in the entire China Region is the one from Red Name Village, Miss Elda, but she’s the village chief there, so it’s a no-go."

Little Li clapped her hands and laughed, "There’s a chance! She’s also the Deputy City Lord of Brother Fei’s Divine Punishment City!"

Little Fang’s eyebrow twitched, "Oh, I completely forgot about that connection. Then, let’s try nominating her with the Angel Leader."

Consequently, Blood Arrow Linglong, controlled by Little Li, came before Angel Leader Sazer: "Angel Leader, I think Miss Elda is qualified to be the garrison officer, and she’s also the Deputy City Lord of Divine Punishment City. Why not appoint her?"

Sazer shook his head and sighed: "She is a One-Winged Angel burdened with sin. If she doesn’t complete her mission, she can’t hold any position."

Little Fang quickly asked, "Our situation is this urgent, can’t the Divine Realm show some leniency?"

Sazer, with a straight face, replied, "The will of the Divine cannot be defied."

Little Li quickly asked, "What’s her mission?"

Sazer shook his head again, "Not my concern. Don’t ask me."

Little Li and Little Fang stood there dumbfounded.

Little Fang sighed, "No go! Let’s nominate someone else."

Little Li let out a long sigh, "It’s such a pity, where else can we find a qualified Angel?"

Just then, Fresh Orange Treasure approached them: "Ladies, what are you discussing?"

Little Fang laughed, "Oh, an expert is here, help us think of a solution~~~"

Appointing Elda from Red Name Village as the garrison officer?! Ono’s heart skipped a beat. Isn’t the European Union Zone also missing a garrison officer? Although the UK has taken action, it hasn’t been crazy enough. Should I take this opportunity to provoke them a little more?
