Chapter 591 - 556: Preparations for Hunting the Giant Electric Eel

The Flying returned to Radiant City full of lumber.

As usual, I called on the brothers from the Guild to deliver this batch of wood. But I’m busy setting off myself, and I’ve already sent 1500 units of lumber over. That’s enough for the shipyard to be busy for a while, so it’s better to wait for all the lumber to be gathered before delivering it. Plus, it’s the middle of the night, no need to trouble the brothers, right?

The hunting strategy for this expedition is pretty straightforward. Wasn’t that Electric Eel chasing me through the streets because of my Storm Tower Divine Artifact? So I’ll just install the Divine Artifact on the ship and wait for it to fall into the trap.

After all, Spielberg mentioned before when we baited the Octopus Monster in the North Sea that one of the main reasons Sea Monsters are tough to kill is because they’re so unpredictable. But if we know where it’s going to appear, we can lie in wait and set a trap. That’s why we successfully took down the Octopus Monster that was giving sailors such headaches.

What’s more important is the Storm Tower’s magical effect against lightning strikes, right? I wonder if it could counter the Electric Eel’s Plasma Cannon? Anyway, I’ll discuss the specific tactics with the president of the Fishing Guild when the time comes.

Speaking of the whole family setting out, Da Fei suddenly thought of Deirdre. Now he was hesitating; should he keep her at home to practice Magic, or should he take her for some real combat experience?

Although I must admit, I’ve been scared stiff, I plan to keep her away from any player scenes. But if I bring my whole family except for her, isn’t that just broadcasting to the whole world that my Vice Hero has a fatal weakness? Won’t those eager beavers be even more thrilled to take her out?

Da Fei made up his mind; bring her along! You can’t learn real Magic at home; real battles are where it’s at. I never used to be a chicken, and I can’t become weak just because I’ve got love on the brain, right? I just don’t believe it; with such a big team, which player would dare attack us? Think going red is cool, huh? And it seems I’ve never taken her out to sea before.

With a flash of light and a change of scenes, Da Fei appeared at the Teleportation Array in Elorin, surrounded by a bevy of Female Heroes.

This flashy arrival amidst the ladies caused more of a stir than any of Da Fei’s previous appearances, drawing crowds on the streets and a roaring buzz on the city’s channel!

"Oh my! Da Fei has so many Female Vice Heroes!"

"Where did all these Female Heroes come from? It’s been a month since the server launched, and I haven’t even seen a hair of a Female Hero in the tavern!"

"With so many Female Heroes, wouldn’t you just play strip the heroine all day, one every day, day in and day out until you bleed!"

Damn it! Play strip the heroine every day? I can’t even strip a single hair! But seriously, flaunting these beautiful Female Heroes feels freaking awesome, hahaha!

Just then, in the Guild channel, Da Bing and One Sword Eastward immediately responded, "Brother Fei is here! Guys, hurry up and clear the way for Brother Fei! Don’t let any of those blind, fumbling idiots lay a finger on him!"

"Roger that, on my way!"

Damn it! Can you not bring up the fumbling idiots? It makes me seem so unimposing!

Soon, members like Da Bing and One Sword Eastward showed up, and Da Fei’s entourage moved through the streets with a great pompous display.

Da Fei felt sentimental; this is the value of loyal followers. I have the beauties, I have my bros, this kind of attention can only be basked in within the game. But it’s not as satisfying if there’s no one to compare to. Where’s Blood Sea Wave? Where’s the Royal Family? Have they disappeared? Went out to sea for trade and got killed by the Electric Eel? Damn it, they must be lurking in some dark corner planning to take me out. But under the crushing might of my absolute power, all your plots are nothing, haha, muahaha!

...

Meanwhile, as Da Fei’s showy entourage departed, a Level 45 Elf Druid player named Yanran’s smile coldly smirked amidst the onlooking crowd: "Acting all high and mighty, huh?"

Another player beside her, a Level 44 Elf Ranger named Bai Huasha, shook her head and laughed: "Truly the number one celebrity in the China Region, Da Fei. He has more Female Vice Heroes than any I’ve seen. But really, what sort of man focuses all his thoughts on female NPCs in a game?"

Yanran’s smile chuckled: "The kind you come across most often."

Bai Huasha laughed and said: "A lonely loser? Right, are those followers from your school? They’re really ostentatious. Some tycoon even wants to meat-grinder Da Fei. It wouldn’t be fun if they can’t find Da Fei and end up going to your school to beat them up."

Yanran’s smile replied indifferently: "They choose their own path."

Bai Huasha retorted with a snort: "Oh, now you’re acting all high and mighty like some life coach again. Even if those lonely losers die it’s no loss, but there’s also that messenger boy deity of yours!"

Yanran’s smile was exasperated: "What messenger boy deity? I don’t know him at all! That was an invitation to join the esports team they formed at their school, not some ’message,’ okay?"

Bai Huasha laughed: "Exactly, just a poor hot guy selling ice pops, how could he catch the eyes of Miss Tang? But what compelled our Miss Tang to openly accept a letter from a strange boy, huh?"

Yanran’s smile angrily said: "Didn’t you see that when he handed over the letter, his fist was clenched so tight that the veins were popping out? What if he got violent if we didn’t take it?"

Bai Huasha laughed heartily: "Both of us are black belts three dan, can’t we handle him?"

Yanran’s smile said irritably: "Enough, enough, it’s already 1 AM, hurry up and sleep. We have a class tomorrow morning and we need to participate in the elimination round at 4 PM."

Bai Huasha surprisedly asked: "Aren’t we just here to check things out? So, are we going to join this guild or not?"

Yanran’s smile said irritably: "I’m disgusted by these people, of course we’re not joining! I’m sleepy, I’m logging off."

Bai Huasha laughed: "You don’t join, that’s your loss. I’ll join! I alone will tease those damn losers to death!"

Yanran’s smile snorted: "Fine, just never say you know me in the game from now on!"

"Don’t worry, nobody knows you in the game anyway, haha!"

"You!"

"Alright, alright, I was just joking. Log off and sleep, get ready for the match. Just so you know, if we meet in the match, I won’t hold back!"

"With your skills? I’ll just use one hand."

...

Under the clamorous escorting of Da Bing and One Sword Eastward, Da Fei came to the Fishing Guild and found the old man: "Chairman, I’ve arrived."

Savaran said solemnly: "Good, I’ve been waiting for the chairman for quite a while. The web has been sent to the shipyard and installed on your Radiant Wings. I’ve also arranged 30 extremely experienced fishermen to stand by at the dock. Let’s set off."

"Okay!"

Da Fei grandly arrived at the dock where Radiant Wings was moored. At this moment, Spielberg greeted with a smile: "Chairman, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time! I’m ready."

Da Fei said delightedly: "Is your ship retrofitted?"

Spielberg shook his head and laughed: "It’s hard to say, let’s discover any issues through actual combat."

At this time, upon hearing the conversation, Da Bing said in surprise: "Boss, do we have a big mission going out to sea? Let’s go together."

One Sword Eastward immediately added: "Yeah, yeah, even if we can’t be of help, we can at least keep watch. If there’s any blind fool coming to cause trouble, we can fend them off!"

Da Fei sighed with a smile: "Brothers, do you still remember that big Electric Eel from yesterday? Today’s mission is to deal with it, and I have no confidence at all. Besides, it’s getting late, shouldn’t you guys be resting?"

One Sword Eastward promptly said: "Brother Fei, it is because you’re not sure, that we want to help out however we can, otherwise the brothers would feel useless!"

Da Bing immediately added: "It’s not late, it’s not an issue to stay up all night. If Brother Fei doesn’t sleep, neither do we!"

Alright! Those who can only act tough in front of Brother are of little use, what Brother needs are brothers who can fight!

Da Fei nodded: "Very well, everyone go and get ready."

Everyone was invigorated: "Yay, we’ll head to Octopus’s dock right away!"

After everyone scattered, Da Fei turned to Savaran and Spielberg: "I have another piece of equipment that must be installed, which might also be the reason for the Electric Eel’s rampage. Let’s devise a tactic targeting this piece of equipment."
