Chapter 334 - 340: Our Ship
After Hang Yu occupied Deserted Valley Town, he not only possessed a territory in the Spirit Realm but also gained a considerable amount of resources and reputation. He knew he was now truly famous.
If he guessed correctly.
Intelligence departments of some national leaders and major forces probably had a file on him, with his ancestral lineage thoroughly investigated. Hang Yu had no doubt about the intelligence-gathering capabilities of these entities.
Want to keep a low profile?
It’s not that easy!
When you reach a certain height or become exceptionally outstanding, you’re as conspicuous as a firefly in the night. You can’t keep a low profile even if you want to.
However.
On the other hand.
The times have changed.
Hang Yu is not indifferent to fame or putting on airs.
The main reason he used to be so low-key, even somewhat cautious, was for self-preservation, or to prevent early interference from various forces, given that his strength and influence were too weak at the time.
Now he has fewer worries.
Firstly, his own strength is already strong enough!
During the battle to seize Deserted Valley Town, Hang Yu acquired a large amount of Spiritual Qi, successfully maxing out the skills "Dual Wield," "Swift Shadow Combo," and "Fighting Mastery," thereby activating Inheritance Power, which is Hang Yu’s third Second Tier Inheritance.
The effects are as follows.
[Combat Expert], Second Tier Inheritance, Permanent Agility +5, Permanent Strength +4, Permanent Life Energy +6, Permanent Spiritual Power +6, Physical Attack +4, Physical Defense +2, Permanent Movement Speed +2.
The passive skill "Fighting Mastery" cumulatively adds 4 points to Strength and 8 points to Agility.
Hang Yu’s basic attributes have become:
Level 10 Combat Professional, Life Energy 131, Spiritual Power 88, Strength +28, Agility +28.5, Constitution +9, Spirit +3, Spiritual Sense +3, Divine +2, Will +2, Physical Attack +15, Physical Defense +6, Movement Speed +8.5, Life Recovery +0.1, Spirit Recovery +1, Bow Weapon Range +10%, Attack Speed +10%, Spiritual Qi 2152/8000, Green Essence 18.9%.
If you count the equipment bonuses.
Hang Yu’s Life Energy is close to two hundred.
His Strength and Agility easily reach around fifty.
Considering the enhancement effect brought by being a Level 10 Combat Professional, Hang Yu can now easily lift a truck and throw it like a shot put. With full state and full-speed movement, he runs faster than cars speeding on the highway.
With Hang Yu’s Constitution attribute, plus the Defense bestowed by equipment and ample Life Energy as support, he could even take a rocket launcher to the face, at most only sustaining a minor scratch that’s insignificant.
With three Second Tier Inheritances and numerous skills.
If it were two months before the Spirit Realm’s descent, seeing Hang Yu from a secular perspective, he would already be an unimaginably extraordinary being, enough to be a superhero in American comics!
Powerful attributes, extraordinary combat power, numerous skills, and excellent equipment.
Hang Yu already stands at the pinnacle of humanity.
Few can threaten him.
Moreover, after developing stealthily, Hang Yu recruited Su Yunbing as a partner. The Cyan Dragon Community is managed like a fortress, making it difficult for external enemies to invade.
In terms of diplomatic relations.
The Deputy Captain of the largest official force in Jiang City, Celestial Net, is under Hang Yu’s command.
The Executive Vice President of the largest civilian force, Spirit Relief Association in Jiang City, is the father of one of Hang Yu’s subordinates.
Hang Yu’s presence in Jiang City is not strong, but his influence and power are noteworthy. At least within Jiang City, trying to touch him would be extremely difficult!
As for beyond Jiang City?
There’s no need to worry even more!
These days, major cities have entered a state of autonomy.
Nowadays, doing business across cities is even harder than cross-country in the past!
Other cities and national forces, no matter how dominant, would pay a high price trying to mess with Hang Yu in Jiang City, and from the national government to various major forces, there’s no need to provoke Hang Yu.
The taller tree among the woods is sure to be destroyed by the wind.
But if the tree is thick enough and big enough, there won’t be any problems.
......
In the outskirts of Jiang City.
A dense fog pervades here.
Hang Yu jumped off his Swift Wild Boar mount and saw a stunning figure waiting in front of him—this person was none other than the rare beauty of the times and his most important partner, Teacher Su.
She is quite capable herself.
Now she’s also risen to level 10.
Su Yunbing has already secured her foothold in the Ghost Heaven Realm.
She has secretly contacted a native force that believes in the Dawn Goddess, using the Dawn Blessing Mark on her to earn these natives’ trust. If they truly get the natives’ help, seizing a small territory will become much easier.
Hang Yu walked over and asked, "How are things going?"
Beside Su Yunbing stood a High-level Fishman Mage.
This was Sharu, who was sent out earlier. He leveled up twice and is now level 8, fully equipped and looking quite impressive.
Su Yunbing smiled and said, "Sharu has already established the first stable outpost."
Because Su Yunbing encountered a language stele in the Spirit Realm.
She exchanged it to learn the common language of the Spirit Realm and can now communicate with Sharu. In recent days, Hang Yu was busy managing the Spirit Land, so the matters with the Fishmen were managed by Su Yunbing. Hang Yu wasn’t quite clear about the situation.
"Is that so? Faster than expected!"
"Let’s go over and take a look!"
Su Yunbing said to Sharu, "Lead the way!"
Sharu respectfully replied, "Yes, Master!"
Hang Yu, Su Yunbing, and the High-level Fishman Mage walked into a dense fog.
It’s not ordinary fog. Once inside, you can’t see your hand in front of your face; even a phone enhanced with Spiritual Energy would be disrupted and affect communications. Various detection skills would have reduced effectiveness in such an environment.
Hang Yu was no stranger to this fog.
This fog often appeared in Fishman activity areas.
Hang Yu, mindful of something, asked Sharu, "Now do we have the conditions to provide blueprints and artisans for constructing Fog Towers? These special function buildings are of great use in many situations!"
Su Yunbing answered on behalf of Sharu, "Do you even need to say it? I’ve already made arrangements, and the Fog Towers in the Cyan Dragon Community have begun to be constructed. As long as we smuggle in a batch of Fishman artisans, we can build them in under seven days!"
Fog Towers are indeed very useful!
They have no offensive but provide excellent protection. If a few Fog Towers are constructed near Deserted Valley Town, they might offer cover at critical moments during enemy attacks. Celestial Net has acquired the designs for these due to their long-term battles with the Fishmen, and near Celestial Net’s headquarters, construction is nearing completion.
This indicates that Fishmen have the blueprints for Fog Towers.
Hang Yu plans to bring this construction technology from the Ocean Race to the Desert Province. For the races in the Desert Province, they probably have never seen such special buildings and arrays.
"We’re here!"
"This is our Fishman outpost!"
Su Yunbing’s magnetic voice pulled Hang Yu back to reality.
Hang Yu initially thought he would see a sizeable camp, but he found himself by the river, with the tranquil waters of the Yangtze River in the mist showing no signs of anything.
Sharu took out a horn-shaped object and blew it.
A few seconds later, a wind blew, and the dense fog thinned somewhat. At once, a colossal, bizarrely styled, giant wooden ship appeared before their eyes.
"How is it? Surprised?" Su Yunbing asked with a hint of anticipation. "This is our ship!"
Hang Yu was stunned for several seconds. "I really didn’t expect it to be a big ship!"
Su Yunbing said, "Don’t be fooled by the ship’s appearance. The inside is quite spacious, enough to house a medium-sized Fishman Camp. The Fishmen can conduct their production and work in there; it’s essentially a mobile water factory... Moreover, it moves very fast, capable of traveling along the Yangtze River to various resource-rich areas for resource gathering."
