Chapter 748 - 585: Guilds Enter Iron Flame Village
Divine Team command center, the Young Master stared at the livestream of Iron Flame Village with a solemn expression.
The Great God Team had already been on the outskirts of Iron Flame Village for a day. Taking advantage of their 10-level advantage, they split up for scattered scouting, while moving strategically with Sakamaru’s Warrior Corps, avoiding direct conflict. Simultaneously, 20,000 Curry diggers were not digging but forming a human wall to seal any entrance into the village completely.
However, by evening, the movements of the Great God Team were completely lost.
By midnight, the roar of a giant beast faintly echoed through the night wilderness.
The Young Master’s face changed: "What’s happening?"
Sakamaru became uneasy: "Young Master, they might have scouted several nearby monster points, possibly luring monsters to break through our defenses."
The Young Master was shocked: "Are those monsters something a level 60 player can lure?"
The Poison Immortal said: "If they carried a wasp nest, it’s possible."
Sakamaru said: "Young Master, considering the Royal Family’s thousands have already started moving, perhaps we should prepare for the worst."
The Young Master frowned: "How?"
Sakamaru said: "I’ll immediately find the village chief to modify the contract, demanding that after the canal is completed, we reduce our share of the canal’s profits from 49% to 10%, proactively offering a 39% concession to the village. If the Broken Bottle Commerce Association or the subsequent Royal Family wants to replace us, they must offer better terms than our contract."
The Young Master frowned: "The canal is a must for our village tenancy, but not necessarily for theirs, their level is high!"
Sakamaru said: "Even if my judgment is wrong, we can still charge a 39% toll fee on goods shipped from Iron Flame Village via the port at Fishing Port Village, compensating for our concession."
The Young Master was astonished: "But Fishing Port Village is in Curry’s hands!"
Sakamaru said solemnly: "If it’s Curry, once they find collecting tolls feasible, it may not just be 39%, they might double it. By then, Curry will surely provoke discontent in Iron Flame Village, and we’ll seize the chance to take over Fishing Port Village."
The Young Master felt a bit tired: "Just do it then, what I can’t take, he’ll pay a heavier price in the China District..."
A few minutes later, the beast roars drew nearer.
The alarm bells of Iron Flame Village also sounded.
Sure enough, the team from Broken Bottle Commerce Association used a relay race method to drop wasp nests, luring a nearby wild giant bear Boss.
Under the Boss’s impact, all of the Divine Team’s barricades became meaningless, unable to hold back the Broken Bottle team from entering the village.
Sakamaru reported: "Young Master, the contract with the village chief has been successfully modified. The village chief’s favorability towards me increased to satisfied."
The Young Master reluctantly accepted reality and shifted focus: "How’s Mr. Xiaoshan’s development in Shadow Demon City?"
Little Mountain God immediately streamed a report: "Reporting to Young Master, I found two Shadow Demon players in the city, ranked 253rd is Tatami, and 311th is Xiximi. They didn’t notice me at the corner, and I don’t know if I should engage them."
The Young Master suddenly froze: "These two..."
Sakamaru said: "Before the Black Iron City Evil God incident, the two suspicious players suddenly making it into the top 100 could be impersonating our Chinese players to divert attention."
The Young Master seemed to have sensed something, immediately instructing: "They must think they’re the only two hidden players, carefree and not on alert in the city. Do not engage them, track the NPCs giving them missions and replicate their task routes."
Little Mountain God asked: "What if I get discovered?"
The Young Master snorted coldly: "If discovered, what’s the point of your hidden profession then?"
Little Mountain God became instantly frightened: "I definitely won’t let them find out."
...
The first floor of the internet cafe was a scene of celebration.
Initially facing the airtight human wall formation set up by Baka Curry, the Great God Team was ready to forcefully break into the village. After all, it wasn’t a village siege, but just entering.
But fortunately, the Grass God found a hidden Boss and used the wasp nest luring tactic, coupled with the guild’s Bullshit skill backup, successfully luring the monster without losing anyone and allowing the entire team to rush into the village!
Amidst the celebration, Great God remained clear-headed: "Surround me, go to the village chief for tasks!"
The internet cafe was filled with high spirits: "Received!"
Although Baka players followed the team closely, they didn’t resort to the extreme measure of PKing inside the village. Even if they did, their formation level couldn’t match the Great God team.
Great God, flanked by a hundred-member team, rushed to the village government hall: "We want to see the village chief!"
The village chief looked annoyed: "That’s me, ringing the bell in the middle of the night, annoying, isn’t it!"
Great God got straight to the point: "Village chief, we are the Broken Bottle Commerce Association from Black Iron City, with considerable strength and prestige. We hope to settle in your village."
The village chief smirked and showed a paper: "Our village has only one goal, to build a canal and transport ores out. If you are interested, you can look at this contract."
Great God was bewildered: "We build the canal? And give 95% profit to the village?"
The village chief nodded: "Yes, take your time to consider."
Holy Shit!!
This contract is ridiculous, Great God didn’t dare to sign it, nor even look at it: "Village chief, isn’t there already a team building the canal?"
The village chief smiled: "Yes, they came early, but you could buy out the construction rights."
Great God was completely lost: "Brothers, what’s the situation?"
Blade God said: "No matter how tricky NPCs are, they couldn’t offer 95%. It must be a trap from Baka. Perhaps, rest at the inn to regain some status, wait for the lady Elder, the task is issued by her, let her handle it. Or, ask Brother Chun at dinner time."
Great God sighed: "Indeed, brothers have been out of the village for two days, all tired, without rest, some without food or a restroom break, let’s rest well..."
The crowd in the internet cafe laughed: "How could we rest with such joyous news..."
Even so, soon enough, everyone was collapsed in their seats, snoring loudly...
...
Meanwhile, Chun, waiting for roots to grow, suddenly received a message from Aileen: "Crystal Bat sent a mirror image, our Broken Bottle Commerce Association members successfully reached Iron Flame Village, but it seems things didn’t go smoothly with the village chief."
Chun felt quite exhilarated, quickly experiencing the feeling of being the boss behind the scenes once again!
As for the unsuccessful negotiation, is that an issue? With Bilenna and Black Dragon God in contact, isn’t that easy to handle?
But, something’s off! The mission for Great God to enter the village was issued by one of the Ten Lords, Sheila. What’s her intention?
If I act, revealing my standing in Iron Flame Village won’t be good. Let’s watch the next move of the Ten Lords.
Forget it for now, Great God has been strained with field battles these two days, rest is in order.
