"The world's number one player, Su..."
"Wuyi, although you handled this situation well, it is impossible for us to become allies with China," Prime Minister Yoshida said thoughtfully.
Kyoto, an island nation.
Inside Yoshida Manha's residence, Pu Xiang Wuyi was discussing this matter with Prime Minister Yoshida.
"Your Excellency, I am of limited ability. How should we respond?" Pu Xiang Wuyi asked respectfully, kneeling on the tatami mat with his upper body bowed.
Prime Minister Yoshida sighed deeply.
"This time, fate has one foot on the East China Sea. Both China and we have been alarmed, but China discovered the source of the anomaly earlier, while we were slow to do so."
"We made a wrong step, Wuyi..."
Thump!
The crisp sound of bamboo joints striking stones broke the silence in the small pond in the courtyard.
"Then should we take back what Su stole?" Pu Xiang Wuyi asked uncertainly.
Yoshida Manha: "No, we still need to give her something!"
"Your Excellency is wise!" Pu Xiang Wuyi, though not fully understanding, was impressed and quickly exclaimed in praise.
"Hehe, you may leave. Our cabinet has discussed the arrangements for Su. For the time being, you should avoid any conflicts with the Chinese players."
"Yes!"
"Go down and take the Self-Defense Forces to raid monsters from other countries. While they are still unaware of the game's secrets, let's get ahead of them! This will be our Great Island Empire's chance to return to its peak!"
"Yes!"
Pu Xiang Wuyi bowed and retreated.
Yoshida Manha closed her eyes, savoring the tranquil atmosphere of the room.
The next moment, the sound of a startled deer rang in his ears, Yoshida Manha suddenly opened his eyes.
"There's an old Chinese saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' We don't know much about China, but USA, Russia... this time it's your turn to look up to us!"
I chatted with Yan Hu and his group for a while.
Yan Hu said they had cleared out a private area outside Forest City that belonged only to the players.
Simply put, they spent a lot of Gold Coin to buy a forest, and Yan Hu and his group built a small town on this forest for players to enter and trade.
This kind of operation will be normal in the future.
Because some items are sold to NPCs for very low prices, but these NPCs then resell them at high prices, this results in both the player who sold the item and the player who bought it losing money.
Only the merchants win.
Su Xi hadn't expected the country to be able to acquire a piece of land so quickly...
To purchase land, you need not only reputation with the Carron Empire, but also certain special items.
Currently, her reputation is definitely insufficient. Even if Su Xi is not Elf race (the Carron Empire does not allow non-elf races to purchase land deeds), with 20,000 world reputation points and 500 Carron Empire reputation points, it would still be difficult for her to buy a land deed.
It seems that a player completed a special opportunity quest, which caused a nobleman in the Carron Empire to greatly increase his favor and prestige.
If one then proposes the conditions for purchasing the land, and with the help of nobles, the purchase may be successful.
Even with the help of nobles, the cost could easily exceed a million Gold Coin...
Su Xi tapped her head.
Although a million Gold Coin is a lot, it's nothing more than a drop in the ocean for a country.
Half an hour later.
Su Xi followed Yan Hu and took a ship from Falas Port back to Forest City.
Then we arrived at the outskirts of Forest City.
What used to be a forest has now been turned into a temporary rest area.
It is called a temporary rest area because it is not well developed, and the campsite is surrounded by trees and weeds.
Only a few simple wooden houses were built on the open ground.
The building is simple, but there are quite a few players.
Upon closer inspection, there were at least several thousand people.
Moreover, many people set up stalls on the spot, displaying all the things they didn't need.
"It's quite lively..." Su Xi commented.
"This land was only purchased a few days ago, so it's still quite basic," Yan Hu explained.
It's gotten this bad in just a few days...
It must be said that the country's ability to act is truly remarkable.
"Aren't you afraid of the monsters around us? Without the protection of the city walls, wild monsters could break in at any time."
"What's there to be afraid of? No one who comes here is a commoner, there's no need to build city walls."
Yan Hu paused for a moment, then continued, "Moreover, we feel that the current materials are not good enough. The walls of Forest City can probably only hold off some stupid magical beasts; they won't stop any flying magical beasts or those with a bit of intelligence."
Su Xi: "..."
Just kidding, the walls of Forest City can stop everything except dragons and Gold Rank bosses, okay?
This is a border city; how could they be so careless on the city walls?
Su Xi didn't know what Yan Hu others' standards were for the city wall, so she just complained to herself.
The camp wasn't large, but there were a lot of players.
Su Xi's appearance instantly attracted the attention of a large number of players.
The reason is simple: everyone else has rare and excellent equipment, but she has a full set of legendary equipment, and it's so gorgeous. How could she not be attractive?
Moreover, as soon as she appeared, everyone knew who she was.
After all, being number one in the world is no joke.
The atmosphere in the campsite had subtly changed; when Su Xi passed by, the voices around her were much quieter.
But the Elf race have naturally keen hearing, and Su Xi was still able to hear their conversation.
"Holy crap, Su!"
"Hehe, so cute..."
What is the relationship between Boss Yan Hu and Boss Su?
"Why is Boss Su suddenly here?"
Most of these people were military personnel, so they only looked at Su Xi with surprise, unlike last time at Falas Port when a group of players rushed up and made it impossible for her to leave.
After bringing Su Xi here, Yan Hu had to go about his own business.
Having obtained so many props and equipment from Su, they must have reported them one by one, and then used them as rewards for meritorious service.
Mop God of War said aggrievedly, "Sister Su won't sell anything to us anymore."
Su Xi rolled her eyes and said, "I see you're from the Huaxia Guild Alliance, and Yan Hu is the guild leader. What difference would it make if I sold it to you or to him?"
Actually, there is a difference, but Su Xi doesn't say it, and neither does the Mop God of War.
After all, by selling to Mop God of War, they can choose for themselves, keeping what's useful and giving the rest to Yan Hu.
Su Xi still thought more about the country, so since she was going to sell anyway, why not sell to the country?
Su Xi's words Mop God of War speechless.
Then, as usual, the Mop God of War took Su Xi's hand and said, "Okay, then I'll take Sister Su shopping today. If there's anything you want to buy, it's on me!"
