Chapter 151 Nation and Conspiracy (First Update) "We are now..."
"What do we do now?" In the Japanese gang's headquarters, a short man looked at the Japanese representative with a worried expression.
The other person's eyes were cold, and he gritted his teeth, spitting out a harsh sentence: "What can we do? Kill!"
“But…” The short man opened his mouth, but was forced back by the other party’s cold gaze.
"It's up to you. Find someone." The Japanese representative left with a cold remark, then turned to leave but paused. "Send someone to follow that group."
There's a saying in the Xia Dynasty: "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind." We can also be the oriole for once.
After saying that, the other person turned and left. Watching him leave, the short man let out a heavy sigh and strode towards a small house in the distance.
When he reached the door, he stopped, took a few deep breaths, patted his face lightly, forced a smile, and then pushed the door open to go inside.
Inside sat a boy, wiping his curved sword with a rag. Seeing him enter, his face lit up with joy: "Brother, you're back?!"
The short man looked at him gently: "It's nothing, it's just that the task assigned by the adults is a bit difficult."
The boy tossed the rag aside, quickly got up, and walked to the man's side.
The boy, whose face still bore a hint of childishness, was actually half a head taller than the short man. He glared at the man with resentment: "What task did he assign you?"
The short man patted his head and smiled reassuringly, "It's alright, there's a way to solve it."
He said this, but his face was full of worry, and he couldn't comfort the boy at all.
"Brother, tell me." Knowing that his brother wouldn't let him worry, he directly used his brother's irresistible charm.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, I'll tell you." The short man looked at him with affection, sighed deeply, and began to tell him the story bit by bit.
"I'll go!" the boy said without hesitation.
"No way!" the short man quickly retorted.
Seeing that he was avoiding his gaze, the boy strode up to him and stared intently into his eyes: "Brother, I know you've always protected me because of Mom and Dad's last wishes, but I'm all grown up now. I can take responsibility for my own destiny and my own life."
The short man's eyes were filled with tears as he watched the boy suddenly raise his hand to cover his face, sobs escaping through his fingers.
The boy sighed softly, took a step forward and hugged him: "Brother, our Japanese gang is weak to begin with. The highest level in the gang is only level 50. We can't withstand the Xiong Kingdom's retaliation at all. So let me go. I'm not a Japanese person on the surface, so no one will know."
The short man put his arm around him and remained silent for a long time: "Back then, your father and mother sent you to Xia Kingdom hoping that you could live a peaceful life in a peaceful place..."
“I know, but I am Japanese, and I will do my best for my country.” The boy looked at the man with firm eyes. “Brother, don’t be afraid. We’re in a game, so we won’t face death. It’ll just be a little pain. I’m used to it.”
To prevent people from dying in conflicts and wars, there is an unspoken rule in this small world: any conflict that needs to be resolved, whether between a nation or an individual, must be resolved within the game world.
Each game allows players at least three respawns. Of course, to prevent some people from losing sight of reality after playing for too long, the law also requires that the maximum number of respawns not exceed one hundred.
Dragon and Phoenix Continent is a game produced by the Xia Kingdom. Although the people of the Xia Kingdom always like to make the number of resurrections in the game exceed the number of similar settings, they forcibly require the pain value to be above 70% in order to prevent players from losing the fun of the game due to a small number of resurrections, and also to prevent players from losing their perception of reality due to a large number of resurrections.
Therefore, although the boy will not die, he will experience a process similar to that of a real death.
The short man said nothing more, just stood silently watching the boy pick up the knife and push open the door.
"Wait!" he suddenly spoke, causing the boy to look at him in surprise. The man sighed softly, "Don't go yet, let me think about it some more..."
"Brother!" The boy's voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
The short man tapped his fingertips on his leg and stood there for a while before saying, "You'd better not try to assassinate the Xiong Kingdom representative. Go and follow those Xia Kingdom people instead. Of course, it would be best if you could join their team and gain their trust."
“But, that sir…” The boy frowned, somewhat hesitant.
A ruthless glint flashed in the short man's eyes: "I have my own way."
Worry flashed in the boy's eyes: "Brother...you?!"
The short man patted him reassuringly: "Don't worry."
The boy sighed silently, said nothing more, and after listening to his brother's detailed instructions, left the Japanese gang and headed to the Ghost Moon Forest.
Unbeknownst to him, not long after he left, the short man quietly left the gang and went to a very secluded free market where he found a man in black and handed him something.
The Dragon and Phoenix Continent is, after all, a virtual world. No matter how realistic it may seem, it is still composed of data and is monitored by the central server.
When Japanese gangs make unusual moves, their data operations are already reported.
This surveillance behavior is almost tacitly approved by the three major countries, but they have an understanding that they allow each other to insert a piece of confidential code into the other's game and set up an independent server outside the game.
Even so, they still handle many confidential national events offline.
However, this kind of thing has always been kept secret from small countries like Japan. This is a privilege of the three great powers. Even if small countries know about it, they dare not openly resist.
Therefore, when the data operation was reported, it was immediately detected by the Xia Kingdom's intelligence team.
"Should we report this?" The girl wearing glasses received a report from the game, glanced at it, frowned slightly, and then looked at her colleague next to her.
Sitting next to her was a short-haired girl with heavy dark circles under her eyes, yawning: "As for Japan, no need to worry. They usually like to go to places that sell illegal goods. There's no need to make a fuss."
“Is that so…” The girl with glasses hesitated for a moment, feeling that something was off. She flipped through the pages a few times before saying, “This person’s identity information is from here, but he’s in a Japanese gang. That’s a bit strange…”
The short-haired girl paused for a moment, then leaned slightly to the side. She squinted and looked at the screen carefully for a few moments. "It's nothing, this happens all the time. Our gang has several people with Xiong Guo and Li Guo citizenship, but they are actually Xia Guo citizens with other nationalities."
The girl with glasses still looked hesitant. Seeing her hesitation, the short-haired girl waved her hand dismissively: "If you're still not at ease, just make a mark and check it from time to time."
"How do I do it?" The girl with glasses looked at her with an eager, inquisitive gaze.
"Oh right, I forgot you just arrived. Wait a minute, I'll teach you." The short-haired girl scratched her hair, took a hair clip from the side, casually pinned up the stray hairs, and then moved the stool next to the girl to carefully teach her.
"Do as I say! Do I need to teach you this?" The representative from the Li Kingdom directly switched to his country's independent server. Seeing that the beautiful leader was waiting for him, he looked impatient.
"Yor! I will never agree to take the best members of our gang and let them mess around with you. They still need to focus on leveling up their gang!" The beautiful gang leader took a few deep breaths, suppressing her anger.
The Li Kingdom representative, Joel, smirked mockingly: "So what? Kari, the great president has already given the order that everything on the Dragon Phoenix Continent is under my command."
Kari looked at him, closed his eyes briefly to calm himself, and then slowly spoke: "You want the Japanese to assassinate the Xiong people, and you also want us to intercept and kill the Xia people, so are you prepared for a three-way war?"
"It's just a few people, no one will care, Kari baby, you're too naive." The representative from the Li Kingdom shrugged and logged off without waiting for Kari's reply.
Looking at the spot where his figure disappeared, Kari lowered his eyes, his voice light as a breeze: "But the high-ranking officials of Xia Country aren't the high-ranking officials of Li Country..."
Sang Zhitao was completely unaware of the conflict between the three kingdoms. She yawned, ate the level-four gem provided by Anya, and slept soundly on Dou Ge's head.
"Is it okay for her to keep sleeping like this?" Anya looked up at her from time to time, and seeing that she had slept almost the whole way, she couldn't help but worry.
“It’s alright. Little Phoenix said that she’s still a child, so it’s normal for her to be sleepy. Besides…” Douzi smiled and looked at Sang Zhitao, “I also suspect that sleeping is her way of relieving hunger and reducing energy consumption.”
Hearing this, Anya breathed a sigh of relief and looked down at the map: "You said that the daytime described in the mission is daytime, so you don't like daytime?"
After checking the task interface, Douzi nodded to her.
Anya frowned slightly: "Any clues? This information is too vague."
Douzi shook her head: "We did some research beforehand to see if there were any plants or animals that appeared at night."
"Did you find out?" Anya asked curiously.
Bean shook his head again: "No..."
"Not a single one?" Anya frowned, finally understanding the difficulty of this task.
Dou Ge chimed in from the side: "It's not that there aren't any, there are more than three hundred kinds."
"Three...three hundred kinds!" Anya gasped involuntarily. "How can there be so many?!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but look around at the Ghost Moon Forest: "Here...? There are so many species?!"
Douzi couldn't help but reply, "Isn't the Dragon and Phoenix Continent known as the continent with the most complete range of species? Many experts even come here to teach students."
Anya patted her forehead: "Oh yeah, I forgot about that."
She sighed and said, "Forget it, let's look slowly. We can try them one by one. We can't wait until we find the last one to have a chance, right?"
"It shouldn't be that unlucky," Dou Ge glanced at the map and casually replied. "The first plant is about 300 meters ahead, let's go check it out first."
“Okay, you lead the way.” Anya nodded and called to the people behind her, “Everyone, stay alert.”
The person behind him responded with a smile.
Unbeknownst to them, several animals with somewhat dazed expressions were waiting for them ahead of them...
