After listening to Feng Qiuhuang’s description, Ouyang Shuo quickly regained his calm.
“Silver Hand? Things are getting more and more interesting!”
Ouyang Shuo actually laughed, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.
Before this, Ouyang Shuo was still worried that if Shanhai City made too many waves in game, the achievement value he obtained when he reached Planet Hope would be more than what some people could accept.
If that happened, some people might complain and try to remove the achievement value of Earth Online.
That was not impossible.
It was like if a person went to a casino and won more than the max that the casino could afford, they should be considering whether he could leave in one piece instead of thinking of earning more.
After all, no matter how much money one had, a life to spend the money with was more important.
“What are you prepared to do?” Feng Qiuhuang asked.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and raised his head, “What can I do? Naturally, I’ll throw myself into the academic faction and ask them to protect me.”
The moment Ouyang Shuo said that, he felt a white light shine in the sky. When Feng Qiuhuang saw that, a similar light shone in her eyes.
Since Gaia stood on the side of the academic faction, Ouyang Shuo believed that his words would be picked up by Gaia and relayed to the leader of the faction.
Any action in the game by anyone would not be able to escape the eyes of Gaia. However, Gaia needed to follow the three laws. Unless rights were given, it could not reveal personal information.
Ouyang Shuo’s actions were like giving Gaia the right. Since he could not contact the academic faction, making Gaia send the message was the best choice.
It seemed like Silver Hand could not cover the skies alone. They had a strong enemy. Ouyang Shuo did not mind joining the academic faction and being their war horse.
Before his own ability was strong enough, to try to make his own faction would be like striking a stone with an egg. Ouyang Shuo had gone through the trials of the wilderness and was not that silly idealist from before.
With the academic faction supporting him from behind, Ouyang Shuo could relax and have a good battle with Silver Hand.
The future Planet Hope would be Ouyang Shuo’s plan to break away from these two factions and grow on his own. Only on the planet could he truly set his own roots.
Only focusing on the game would be pointless.
At this moment, Ouyang Shuo’s eye for things had risen to a whole new level. Not only did he start to plan in game, but he also made preparations for the future Planet Hope.
The game would not be able to influence reality.
But the one playing the game was a living person. Since it was a person, he could influence reality.
“Feng Wu, I really need to thank you.” Ouyang Shuo thanked her from the bottom of his heart.
Feng Qiuhuang smiled, “We are friends.”
Ouyang Shuo nodded, smiling back.
Following which, the two talked for more than an hour before Feng Qiuhuang took her leave.
Just when Feng Qiuhuang stepped into the teleportation formation, Ouyang Shuo suddenly said, “Feng Wu, do not be afraid. You are not walking this path alone.”
When he met her this time, Ouyang Shuo could obviously feel that she had something on her mind. However, when they were talking, Feng Qiuhuang found it hard to voice her concerns.
Ouyang Shuo deduced that she was facing the same problem as him.
This path was truly dark and cold.
Ouyang Shuo could not bear to let such a woman proceed alone.
Feng Qiuhuang’s body shook; she turned around and gave him a bright smile.
“I won’t be afraid!”
Ouyang Shuo smiled too, thinking in his heart, ‘Good luck my friend!’ *********** While Ouyang Shuo met with Feng Qiuhuang, a large net was thrown.
Pacific, Hawaii.
On the vast seas, a Grade 2 Man o’ War type battleship had ended its resupply on Hawaii and once again sailed toward Japan.
The 4th system update that had just happened not only raised the movement speed of army troops but also warship speeds, which made long distance ocean travel much simpler.
This battleship set off from the west coast of America and arrived in Hawaii in just five days. In another week, it would be able to reach Japan.
The Statue of Liberty on the warship represented the allegiance of this battleship – it belonged to America’s Free City.
On the deck there was one civil servant and one general. From their actions, they should be the core members of the battleship.
“Secretary, why do we need to travel so far to give the Japanese a precious technical manual?” The one who spoke was the general and also the captain of the ship. He wore a standard western officer uniform, and he had a long sword by his waist. On the other side was a western handgun.
“You should not ask what should not be asked.” The civil servant was the secretary of Free City, and he held a high position. Consequently, he was really calm. He wore a bicorn and held an exquisite staff.
His mustache that was shaped like the Chinese character eight was really special.
This time, they were ordered by their Lord to sell three of Free City’s most precious technical manuals to Tokyo and Chinese Lords for a low price of a million gold.
It included the transportation fee, the steam engine, the sewing machine, and the Man O’ War type warship technical manuals. The only thing Free City kept was their most core firearm making technical manual.
The secretary did not understand what was going on, so when the Lord told him to handle this, he was filled with doubts like the captain. However, in front of the general, he naturally had to act like he knew what was going on.
If not, how could he show that his relationship with the Lord was close?
Internally, the captain really thought that there was something going on and did not dare ask anymore. As such, he just smiled and changed to topic. Speaking of which, this was the first time the Free City Squadron had crossed the pacific. … Japan, Sanli City.
After Honda Keisuke read the letter Jack Dawson wrote to him, he had a wide smile and was extremely delighted.
As America’s traditional ally in Asia, even after the federation was established, Japan was still really close to the Americans in Silver Hand, helping them out and giving them what they wanted.
Of course, the Japanese had gained things in return.
Just like this time, on the surface, Sanli City was getting three technical manuals like Di Chen and the others. However, there was something more going on in the dark.
Jack Dawson not only sent him hundreds of relevant talents but also transported a thousand firearms to Sanli City.
With that, Sanli City would be a step ahead of Yanhuang Alliance.
Honda Keisuke was already thinking about leading his squadron to attack the China region coasts. … France, Vic City.
Henry was sitting in his office, reading a letter word by word, line by line.
The letter was from Silver Hand and was hinting for Vic City to not get too close with Shanhai City. If they could, it was best to cut off the resource provisions to Jidian City.
Looking at the letter, Henry’s face was extremely dark.
It was not easy for him to grab the chance to work with Shanhai City and chase the Spanish Squadron out of the Mediterranean to let the Vic City Squadron obtain the ruling rights to the ocean. He had also earned massive profits from the voyage trading.
Who knew that such a change would occur.
Without the help of Shanhai City in the Mediterranean, Henry did not feel confident about taking out the Spanish Squadron.
Not to mention Caesar who was rising up. Not only was he bearing down on the people in Europe, but he was also building a navy to try and enter the Mediterranean.
The entire Mediterranean Ocean situation was becoming a gargantuan mess. … Spain, Tortosa City.
Casillas had similarly received the letter from Silver Hand. However, compared to Henry, his expression was vastly different. He was delighted, and his eyes flashed with the glow of revenge.
“This is great; the chance for revenge has arrived.”
After half a year of lying in wait, the Spanish Squadron had finally been rebuilt. However, because of the presence of the Mediterranean Alliance, it was difficult for them to enter the ocean.
The sudden interference of Silver Hand gave the Spanish a great chance. … England, Avic Fort.
As a core member of Silver Hand, William naturally would not receive any warning.
In the end, Silver Hand was a scattered organization. To its members, especially its strong ones, it could not do much.
To follow the orders and how to do so was completely based on the Lords themselves.
Compared to Henry, William’s Avic Fort had deeper ties to Shanhai City. As the starting and ending points of the trade route, both cities earned the most.
It was impossible for William to give up on this piece of juicy meat.
William also used Silver Hand to send a message to the Mediterranean members. The Mediterranean Ocean can be chaotic but it cannot affect the merchant ships. ************ At the same time, city in the skies.
The city in the skies was where Gaia lived and also where the Federation President and other important people rested.
In a small courtyard was a two story White House. There were gardens on the front and back of the house with various flowers, numerous butterflies, and many bees.
The grass of the garden was well maintained. It was obvious that the owner of the house paid attention to detail.
And his taste was great.
On the grass patch, a humbly dressed old man was watering a pot of roses. Who knew that this person was the leader of the academic faction, and the president of the federation?
Behind him was a beauty with an extremely cold appearance. If players were present, they would be awed as this woman was the actual form of Gaia, and the most beautiful person in history.
After a while, the old man turned around, put down the watering can, and asked gently, “He really said that?”
“Yes.” Gaia was still expressionless.
The old man smiled, “What an interesting guy.”
“Do we need to reply to him?”
The old man waved his hand, “Temporarily, no. Let’s see how he gets pass this hurdle.”
“Understood.”
As she said that, Gaia turned into a white light and disappeared.
The old man picked up the watering can and continued to pay attention to his babies.
