Chapter 203 -192: Preparations Before Traveling
Navy Headquarters, it was still the same overweight officer, but his attitude was completely different now. He respectfully presented the new Military Rank insignia to Da Fei, with a beaming smile saying, “Your Excellency truly is the pride of our Alliance, I look forward to you making even greater contributions in a higher position!”
—-System Prompt: You have received the Alliance Lieutenant Military Rank insignia, your Command Power +300. Note: Military Rank Command Power is a fixed value and is not affected by treasures or skills.
Getting promoted is ultimately a good thing, Da Fei didn’t dwell on the past, and he chuckled, “I still have to thank the officer for his strict admonishments back then!”
The overweight officer laughed even more brightly: “Ordinary military training couldn’t bring out your abilities, I have high hopes for you.”
This fatty sure talks a lot, well, it’s necessary, going through Makar’s apprenticeship test has indeed changed my status. Since his intention to ingratiate himself is clear, I might as well test him.
Da Fei inquired, “Does the officer know what to pay attention to when stationed at Fire Dragon Island?”
“Fire Dragon Island?” The fat man paused, and then immediately spread out the map on the table, his finger tracing northward to begin searching. Damn it, searching for what? Failing geography, that’s a negative review!
Generally speaking, the terrain of the Hero Continent in various parts of the world bears a slight resemblance to the real-world map of Europe and Asia.
The Human-ruled Lionheart Empire occupies the “Central Europe” surrounded by mountains, also known as the “Middle-earth” often featured in fantasy works, backed by the sea, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a vast expanse of fertile pastoral scenery in the middle.
North of the mountain range at the border of the Lionheart Empire lies a vast forest, which is the territory of the Elf Kingdom, roughly corresponding to the location of Poland and Germany. Meanwhile, on the overseas Mainland, there is the territory of the high elves, located similar to England in Europe, always playing the role of a secluded utopia.
North of the forests of the Elf Kingdom are the vast snowy mountains, rich in various minerals, the territory of the dwarfs, much like Northern Europe.
The vast steppes in the “Eastern Europe” region are the territory of the Beastmen. Of course, there are primordial forests, but even the Beastmen themselves dare not enter those. The Undead’s location is much like the Turkish Peninsula in Europe on the bottom right, separated by a mountain from the Human Empire, constantly in fierce battle. The maritime operations of the Undead are also developed, since many of the Undead were skillful sailors when alive. As for the Hell Race, as mentioned earlier, they do not hold territories in the Hero Continent, playing a different game.
Then, across the sea, akin to Africa, lies a vast desert and barbaric land, which is the territory of the Mage Academy. The mages are keen on alchemy and creation; they are atheists because they believe themselves to be gods. This barbaric land has become the “nuclear” testing ground for the mages, a monster breeding field. This is where players level up after reaching level 50.
This roughly outlines the geopolitical landscape of the Hero Continent. In short, the Bright Alliance occupies the rich “Europe,” and the suffering Beastmen and Undead are greatly dissatisfied.
……
Now, the fat officer’s finger stopped on a map at a location corresponding to Iceland up north: “This here is Fire Dragon Island! It takes a month to sail here from the Elf Kingdom!”
A month! Three days in real time! A round trip is a week! Da Fei is devastated! There’s no way around it, until the players’ territories are built, sailing is the most profitable industry in the early to mid-game. But the most profitable comes with the most frustrating limits, sailing is destined to be boring and lengthy. But no matter, a lot of players will turn to piracy during the public test, making sailing more interesting and lively, just more frustrating. But no worries, with Catherine’s Master-level Navigation Skill along with being a naval family, it should relieve a lot.
The overweight officer sighed, “Fire Dragon Island is the legendary place where the Evil Dragon is sealed. Although we have never seen it, the Alliance still has a battalion of a thousand troops stationed there all year round. It’s very cold here, with a 10-month Ice Sealing Period each year, and it’s hard for supplies to reach by sea, so life is very tough for the soldiers stationed on the island. But departing this season is just right, so if Your Excellency could provide them with some urgently needed supplies, they will be very grateful.”
Anlicia, who was by the side, also couldn’t help sighing, “They have it tough.”
The overweight officer laughed heartily, “Well, that’s the duty of a soldier!”
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitch! Extra supplies urgently needed? Wait a minute! Does that mean they need more than just Healing Medicine? Think about it, a bunch of soldiers, squatting in the freezing cold every day, unable to watch TV or go online, how would you survive?
Holy crap! I should enrich the spiritual and entertainment life of the soldiers! All sorts of tasty and fun stuff should all be brought to them!
Right, as a pro, one should dig deeper into the limited mission information available! Did I struggle for a month in the game just to earn that bit of fixed salary from the task commission? Ridiculous! I want to maximize the benefits of the task! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
To confirm his thoughts, Da Fei hurriedly asked, “May I ask, sir, what else do the soldiers on the island need? How much is needed in total?”
The chubby officer laughed and said, “That’s hard to say clearly, you know, being soldiers, they mostly drink, play cards, play chess, and those with a bit more culture read books. As for the quantity, a thousand-man group, neither too much nor too little, just give whatever you feel like.”
So that’s it! It means I need to buy entertainment supplies!
Da Fei said excitedly, “Is there anything else I need to be aware of? Please don’t hesitate to instruct me, sir.”
The chubby officer sighed, “Of course, the journey is very dangerous. The North Sea hosts many mythological-era monsters, you must be careful to avoid them, especially the Sea Demons, encountering them would mean doom. Other than that, there’s not much else to say, you can go ask the local fishermen.”
Da Fei tensed up inside, truly a S-level task! Totally a trap!
The chubby officer smiled, “Alright, I need to go and inspect the troops now, I wish you a smooth journey!”
Da Fei hurriedly said, “Thank you for your guidance, sir.”
…
Now that I’ve inquired all I could, it’s time to return to Elorin to purchase supplies in large quantities.
But there are still two problems, my ship only has 300 holds! It can’t really carry much at all. Second, how can I ensure a smooth arrival? Do I really trust my luck and strength to drive a little boat straight into danger like an idiot? That kind of person really isn’t cut out for great things!
For a moment, Da Fei fell into deep thought.
If, it were not a game, but a real-life situation where failure is not an option, what would I do?
Probably nine out of ten people would tell you, subcontract the work! That’s right! This embodies the deeply ingrained Chinese contractor spirit, a concept that reflects the unique wisdom of the Chinese people, and has created the “Chinese speed” on the world’s toughest job sites that astonishes foreigners!
If you can’t do it yourself, leave it to someone who can!
Elorin is a big seaport, right? There must be navigators in Elorin, right? Even if there are no navigators or they are not at home because they are at sea, there must be many “local fishermen” in Elorin, right? I should be able to find people willing to go to Fire Dragon Island with me, right?
Exactly, the cargo I can’t transport by myself, I’ll call them to help transport! The monsters I can’t beat, I’ll call them to help fight! And to achieve this, one must rely on power! I don’t have power, but the mayor does! (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian (novelbuddy.com) to cast your recommendation vote, monthly ticket.
