Chapter 228 - The Players’ Blessings

Chapter 228: The Players’ Blessings

Beep… beep… beep…

“Who is this?” a deep male voice sounded from the other end of the call.

“It’s Abel, the Supervisor of the Technology Department from the Jie De Corporation!”

“What’s the matter?” asked the voice.

“I think my boss has already briefed you guys on the plan… so I am calling to inform you that Plan B is ready for execution!”

After a moment of silence, the man answered, “Alright!”

“What are the test subjects that we can use now?” Abel questioned again.

“Number one and number three are available for usage. The other test subjects are mostly dead and the living ones have all been deployed for missions.”

“Have #410 and #423 been found?”

“No, I don’t think it’s possible to find them, they do not have any markings on them and we cannot possibly rummage around the world for them. So their search is already a closed case for us.”

“Number one and three it is, then… tell them to look for me at the address I already sent you!”

“Alright!”

The call ended after a clean agreement.

A hint of ferociousness flashed across Abel’s face after the phone screen went dark.

He had witnessed the power of the Superhuman Weapon Experiment with his own eyes and all of them possessed extraordinary powers. He believed that no mistakes would arise as long as their plan was not foiled by the government.

At first, they did not want to use this method. After all, it was a serious matter regarding the underground classified human experiment at the Jie De Corporation. The outcome would be terrible if they were exposed.

However, Lu Wu’s bullying had gone too far. They would lose massive portions of their market share and things would all go out of hand if they did not stop him.

This was their Plan B.

They had to do things the hard way since the gentle approach did not work.

…

After ending the call with the Jie De Corporation’s representative, Lu Wu turned toward Bei Li who was still in a state of confusion.

After some contemplation, Lu Wu decided to not disturb Bei Li first and allow her to take some more time to calm down.

Then, he went to his bedroom.

With his supreme authorization, Lu Wu entered the forum and started browsing all the players’ posts like a god.

All the obscene materials, deleted!

All the rumors, deleted!

All abusive posts that threaten peace in the forum, deleted!

Most importantly, all posts with public displays of affection, deleted!

…

After clearing up a bunch of posts, a livestream post by a player caught Lu Wu’s eye.

[The Sea King has risen, believe me! Click to view!]

Lu Wu clicked into the livestream and found the player by the shore of a random island with various different intelligent ocean creatures surrounding him.

It looked like the area where all the living beings on the island gathered.

At this moment, this player and the intelligent creatures around him were all enclosed around a pole that resembled a public notice board. They were all craning their necks and squinting their eyes to read the text displayed on it.

Thankfully, the game had the ability to translate foreign languages. The players could easily understand the text with the help of an artifact even though the foreign words made no sense to them at first sight.

Notice to the Void Ocean:

I may have lost my Sea King Navy, but the Void Ocean is still my territory. Anyone who has the guts to invade my land and seize my resources will all be destroyed upon my return.

This is a public announcement to all the living beings of the Void Ocean. I have successfully obtained the support of the seven great nations within the three great oceans, Void, Kuilong, and Jade Spring. After three days, I shall hold a Nation Establishing Ceremony for the creation of the new Mu Te Sea Nation at Xinmo Island in the Kuilong Ocean.

All who are interested in joining forces with me are welcome!

…

The creatures around the player displayed immense fear when they saw the notice and the stamps of the eight respective nations below it.

Some of these creatures were under the forces that the Sea King mentioned, the ones that he would seek revenge and destroy.

There were also some naturally tiny and frail creatures who were terrified that the possible bloody chaos that would arise when the Sea King returns could cause them collateral damage.

Panic and unrest filled the air.

Never in their wildest imagination would they expect the Sea King to come back stronger with an alliance of seven leading nations after losing the Sea King Navy.

It was not good news for them.

The forum was bustling with players who gained insight from that livestream:

Watermelon_Taro: “All hail the Sea King! The most awesome Sea King! I am the first one to support him if he wants to build a new nation!”

Xueli_The_Strongest: “The most exciting moment that we have all been waiting for is finally here, our Lord King of Sea will rise again! Blessings from the forces of Beiqi!”

Peppa _Boar: “Seasons passed and finally the time has come for the uprising of the Sea King. Here, I would like to thank Battle Online for their planning and research, thank you so much…”

Strike_Gold: “Oh my god, the Sea King is really making a determined effort to do well. After a great fall, still, he stood again and even unified the seven nations. That is just awesome!”

Lost8kToOnlineDating: “To be honest, I feel kind of reluctant to attack the Sea King upon seeing him pour his heart and soul into building this new force (smirking while covering mouth emoji)…”

Assassin_Creed: “Why am I favoring the opposition more and more now? No wonder the Sea King topped the players-choice Top Villain chart and came out as first place. How adorable (laughing emoji)!”

Crayon_Shinchan: “Didn’t anyone notice something important? The Nation Establishing Ceremony is in three days, and we even have the address. Am I the only one interested in attending the event to congratulate and give the Lord King of the Sea a gift? Why don’t we go together and deliver our blessings? (laughing emoji)”

Junior_Captain_Of_Demolition_Officers replied to Crayon_Shinchan: “Damn, you do have a point. Our favorite villain is building a nation. Since we have taken so much of its treasure, experience, soul coins and spiritual material, we should at least send it our blessings (laughing emoji)!”

Cultivating_Longevity: “Let’s go, let’s go! War is war, but this is our time to congratulate him. I will bring some fine wine from the Wood Spirit Clan (smiley emoji)!”

A_Large_Wolfdog: “Woohoo, I shall go for the experience!”

Taoist_Zombie_Hunter: “I want to go, but I cannot make it (sighing emoji)…”

Crayon_Shinchan replied to Taoist_Zombie_Hunter: “I caught a great destructive demon king here. Just let me go through a short interview, when will you destroy the players’ faction? You have already dug up the seals underwater and underground, when will you start digging other forces out of this domain? (laughing emoji)”

Taoist_Zombie_Hunter replied to Crayon_Shinchan: “(knife dripping with blood emoji)”

…

The news filled the players with joy and excitement. All of them agreed that they must support the Sea King in his efforts to build a new nation. Not only did they feel obligated to attend the ceremony, they also wanted to proffer Beiqi Army’s most genuine blessings and most lavish gifts.

All the players felt the Sea King’s devout hard work and dedication. It was different from the other kings such as the Rock Ghost King or the Hydra King, who were more stubborn and only fixated on a piece of land. They did not have the ambition to expand their territory nor improve themselves.

A boss like the Sea King was like a treasure mine to the players because he was definitely able to level up by himself. He was also a source of unlimited benefits because every time he is defeated, he would always grit his teeth and carry on to provide more resources for the players.

For that reason, the players wholeheartedly wanted to pay the Sea King a visit in groups to send it their heartfelt wishes.

Some players even started a discussion in the forum about gift suggestions for the Sea King.

Lu Wu did not know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this.

These players were really the malignant bunch of the Underworld. The Sea King was already in such a difficult position and came all the way to finally build a nation happily and peacefully. These players who were his arch enemies just had to interfere by sending their blessings shamelessly. That would surely piss the Sea King off badly.

He could already picture the chaos that would unfold then.

However, Lu Wu was not worried at all as the players were immortal anyway. They could fool around as much as they wanted to, it was all up to them.

Moreover, the news of the Sea King’s newly-built nation came to Lu Wu’s benefit as well as the players have been protesting about the lack of Death Clan creatures recently. This news came at the perfect timing to divert their attention.
