Chapter 1342 - 1248: Mine War

Chinese Team Alliance Chat Room. The discovery of a hidden warehouse in Hell awakened the drowsy big shots, making them wide awake. Watching the video from Blood Arrow Linglong’s perspective played by the Bloodrose Leader, the big shots started discussing.

Royal Dominator was a bit incredulous: "This patrol team is so fierce, but this BOSS is way too easy, isn’t it?"

Eternal Star chuckled in surprise: "It’s not that the patrol team is fierce, it’s—"

The guild leaders laughed and asked: "What is it?"

Zhou Qing smiled coldly: "You mean to say, it’s the Bloodrose beauty being too easy?"

Eternal Star waved with a smile: "That’s not what I meant, that’s not what I meant!"

Everyone laughed out loud, and Zhou Qing said in mock frustration: "Even if our beauty is easy, she can still get things done, while you so-called pro masters just end up staring blankly."

Everyone laughed: "That’s right, that’s right!"

The Divine Emperor said with a smile: "I think this warehouse has depth. Judging from the European Union Zone’s situation, it’s likely full of mines, suggesting that there are mines nearby!"

Royal Dominator nodded: "Makes sense. Judging from the warehouse defense, it shows the Demon Race doesn’t value these minerals much. If they ignore such a huge warehouse, one can imagine how high-end the minerals that they do value must be!"

Everyone agreed: "This could be a huge haul!"

Zhou Qing laughed: "So, what’s everyone thinking?"

The Divine Emperor smiled: "What else could we be thinking? Since players can’t get close to the Hell Fortress, focusing our forces to empty this mine shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

Eternal Star nodded: "The only trouble is Japan’s main forces. One can imagine how intense the warehouse defense battle will be, and we currently don’t have the means to go head-to-head against Japan’s main forces!"

Zhou Qing laughed: "We do! By tomorrow morning at the latest, you guys will know!"

Eternal Star smiled: "Yeah, I agree! It’s a secret between Miss Zhou and me, and I’m not telling you!"

Everyone scoffed: "It’s just a Little Pig Run, right? As long as he dares to show up, he might not even defeat any of them!"

Eternal Star laughed: "I’m not telling you!"

Ma Yinglong said in annoyance: "It’s fine if you ignore me, but why are you making so much noise that I can’t sleep?"

Everyone laughed: "Chairman Ma sleeping in the chat room, such a sweet setup!"

"Chairman Ma, what happened to recruiting top Hell players across the China Region to step into the Divine Punishment City?"

Ma Yinglong said irritably: "Easy for you to say. All the experts have been fooled by your publicity into training as Elves and Human Race, who’s free to train the early-stage hell that’s only going to cause headaches? You’ve seriously disrupted professional ecological diversity. You need to reflect..."

...

At this time, in Little Li’s rented room, the alarm clock rang.

Little Li spiritedly woke Little Fang: "It’s 3 o’clock, 3 o’clock, get up, get up! All the guild leaders are in the chat room waiting for your appearance!"

Little Fang, rubbing her eyes tiredly, said in annoyance: "Trouble! I have to adjust the voice-changing software again."

Little Li sighed: "It’s your darn Divine Artifact again! Those guild leaders are hoping to catch a glimpse of you in the video this time."

Little Fang scoffed: "What can I do? If I show up, wouldn’t Zhou Qing recognize me as the insider in their guild? How awkward that would be."

Little Li sighed deeply: "Doing this all the time isn’t a good solution either."

Little Fang scoffed: "What’s the big deal? Now that the canal is open, it’s them who seek me, not me seeking them. We’re collecting our toll, regardless of what I look like."

Little Li suddenly laughed: "Oh, I have an idea. When they ask about your identity, just say it’s inconvenient to show your face, and there are probably not more than two people who know your identity in the China Region."

Little Fang was taken aback: "What does that mean?"

Little Li laughed: "Let them guess which two it is!"

Little Fang was even more confused: "Honey, I haven’t woken up yet, my head’s still foggy. What are you trying to say?"

Little Li laughed: "For example, if they ask Brother Fei, Brother Fei will probably say you’re a National Security Bureau internet agent, making you a secret agent who can’t easily show their face. Isn’t that right? Alright, alright, it’s 3 o’clock. The chairmen have been staying in the chat room, sleeping, waiting for you for half the night to see the canal completion!"

Little Fang was even more perplexed: "Brother Fei says I’m an agent? What’s he talking about? I’m not even that familiar with him on this account."

At this moment, the chat room was already filled with Royal Dominator’s excited shouts: "Hey, hey, hey! Is Fleeting Blossom the beauty here? Us small shareholders have waited up most of the night just to see you. The chairman should be punctual and set an example!"

Without thinking much, Little Fang had to log in: "Hello everyone, sorry to keep you waiting!"

Royal Dominator laughed: "Here she is, here she is, the beauty! Quick, get on video. We’ve invested cooperatively on such a big project, at least let us know what you look like. Otherwise, it’s too funny if we don’t even know what the chairman looks like when others ask."

A bunch of big shots laughed: "Yes, this is such a big deal for China Region, please give us this face, beauty."

Under such enthusiastic circumstances, it’s reasonable that an average person wouldn’t refuse, even an ugly daughter-in-law would have to meet her parents-in-law. Little Fang really had no way to resist! But fortunately, Little Li offered a clever idea, so she could compromise a bit.

So Fleeting Blossom said solemnly: "On such a special day, for regular people, they would definitely meet openly, even flying all the way from the ends of the earth to gather for a meal is possible. However, my identity is rather special. The entire China Region inadvertently knows my identity; not more than two people. It’s not just my identity alone, so I’m very sorry. Let’s talk about the future operation of the Canal Company? I believe in the game, everything is up to the system; my real-world identity is irrelevant..."

The chat room was in uproar, Royal Dominator was downright shocked: "Beauty! You’re not giving us face. I’ve even dined with the Provincial Standing Committee, what’s there not to say?"

Fleeting Blossom sighed: "Sorry, some things are meant to rot in the brain, die with them, and won’t be public even in the grave. I hope you’ll all understand."

At this point, Little Fang took off her headphones and winked at Little Li: "Sis, that was pretty obvious huh?"

Little Li smiled: "Yes, yes, this is the career creed of our country’s special agents."

Sure enough, with Fleeting Blossom’s words, the chat room fell silent. At this moment, Zhou Qing stepped in to ease the situation: "Alright, alright, since Fleeting Blossom has her inconveniences, let’s not press on. She’s right, identity doesn’t affect the game, let’s talk about what’s next."

The big shots reluctantly said: "Alright, since Miss Zhou spoke, let’s go with it."

"Oh yeah!" Feeling triumphant, Little Fang gave a thumbs-up to Little Li!

Little Li laughed: "Alright, alright, you do your thing, I can’t sleep now, I have to go back to town to turn in my tasks, lots to do."

...

At this time, Bloodrose Studio was buzzing with discussion: "Is Fleeting Blossom afraid to show her face because she’s worried our Big Sis will hold a grudge and retaliate?"

Zhou Qing retorted unamused: "Nonsense, am I that kind of person?"

The ladies on duty laughed: "Maybe she’s a shemale! Only shemales would go to such lengths to hide their identity!"

"Exactly, I heard her voice sounds like a bit electronic; maybe she’s using voice-changing software."

"Ever since opening recruitment for the first Epic Hero, she’s used even more obvious voice-changing software during interviews, hasn’t she?"

"But then, if she doesn’t want anyone to know her identity, why say that no more than two people know it? Who else would know?"

In that instant, Zhou Qing clapped her hands: "Da Fei!"

The ladies suddenly realized: "That’s right! Da Fei was the first to lend her that special excavator. With Da Fei’s reputation at the time, it’s unlikely he would generously lend such a high-end and important item! Plus, the Canal Company only had Da Fei on board before several large guilds participated!"

Zhou Qing chuckled: "Alright, alright, it’s likely Da Fei is offline now, let’s ask Qiqi tomorrow. For now, let’s prepare the mining conflict operation."

"Got it!"

...

At 3:30 a.m., after a rapid march, Fresh Orange Treasure and Little Li’s team finally returned to Divine Punishment City.

Fresh Orange Treasure seriously said: "Beauty, your reputation in Divine Punishment City is among the top four in China Region right now, so you should lead the task dialog. I suggest getting the NPC to issue a mining conflict task for us players. If you actively suggest the mining conflict, it’s likely to trigger the task."

Fresh Orange Treasure was indeed teaching the vase beauty how to complete tasks hands-on. Although Japan’s intention was for the NPC to initiate attacks, these words couldn’t be spoken directly; first, it would raise suspicion, and second, it would be pointless now. NPCs would not act easily. Only when the battle escalated and the results seemed achievable would NPCs misjudge and act rashly. Thanks to the European Union Zone’s pit maneuver practices, Japan accumulated a great deal of successful experience.

Little Li obviously caught the hidden meaning from the expert, blushing: "Okay, that’s what our leader meant too."

Sure enough, when Little Li approached to turn in the task, garrison officer Ror was extremely excited: "Warrior, your achievements are significant, there must be Demon Clan Mines near the warehouse. This not only addresses our resource needs in Divine Punishment City but also weakens the enemy’s combat capabilities. So, Warrior, our next goal is to destroy enemy mines and seize their resources! If you’re struggling, I can lend you a hand!"

——System Prompt: Your team has obtained the large-scale campaign mission "Seize Demon Clan Mining Resources"...

Success! Plus, the NPC directly mentioned helping! At this moment, the Mitsubishi Team Command Center erupted in cheers!

Tsukamoto chuckled sinisterly: "Progress exceeded expectations, let’s deplete Chinese players’ resources in the upcoming mining conflict over the next day or two, then send their NPCs to hell!"

Sessho Kanpaku laughed: "It might not even take a day; the Angels will come cleanly to die!"

Meanwhile, under Bloodrose’s lead, the mining conflict operation was officially prepared and launched with cooperation from various guilds. Team members received calls late at night to log on; China Region’s Divine Punishment City national war battlefield is about to see the most intense showdown. (To be continued.
