The virtual empire starts from the game

Chapter 498 The future big businessman, the mountain on the sea! (asking for monthly tickets)

Qihuahua's mentality has indeed changed.

6 yuan is not a small amount for an ordinary worker, but for an anchor with such a large number of fans as her, it is actually not a big number.

Not to mention now, even before Dream Building took off, it wasn’t difficult for her to make this much money when she was a virtual anchor.

But none of that money could make her as happy as this!

Discover business opportunities, mobilize resources, produce goods, and "force buying and selling."

How happy!
Even Nanaka had a strong premonition—

Most people will probably get nothing.

On the "Caribbean Lookout" program, the "Golden Country" that Tang Qian mentioned was probably not a casual remark. It is very likely that there is a large amount of gold on the Sky Island.

But the problem is:

No matter how much gold you have, it is not enough in front of a huge number of players.

Just these 20-odd ships have transported more than people.

[Polaris Chamber of Commerce] has received advance orders for large oars, which are already scheduled for next week.

If nothing unexpected happens, at least tens of thousands of people will rush into this doldrums in the next week.

If Sky Island is discovered, this number will more than double!
——Qihuahua had no doubt that the players dared to row a small sampan into the sea.

Faced with competition of this scale, the so-called "Golden Country" would not be enough to share even if it was broken into pieces!

Instead of robbing this, it’s better to take money directly from these adventurers’ pockets!

She had already made a plan. If that day really came, she would drive most of the Chamber of Commerce's ships here and turn them into sea supply points.

Make another profit!
Of course, this isn't the only money-making scheme out there.

She also mobilized the Chamber of Commerce members to find powerful NPCs to see if they could design a scuba diving device.

What this incident really tests is not the NPC's ability, but the upper limit of the development team.

After all, in reality, various scuba designs are readily available.

It depends on whether the NPC has such a high degree of freedom and whether it can design things that do not originally exist in the game.

In order to increase the success rate, Qihuahua also organized everyone in the Chamber of Commerce to chat with these technical NPCs and send gifts every day.

The team tried to use the design mechanism of "Sail in the Big Blue Sea" to let the development team allocate more computing resources to these originally unimportant technical NPCs and raise their intelligence level.

If a scuba diving device could be designed, it would definitely be more profitable than a large paddle!

It's not even limited to finding underwater islands.

——Even if the craze for searching for islands on the seabed has passed, diving equipment will still be an important item for adventures in this ocean.

……

In short, when the Heroic Sniper and other players thought she wanted to take advantage of the situation and make a quick buck and run away, she had already set her sights on the entire Caribbean Sea.

In her eyes, this ocean is full of business opportunities!
She has quietly begun to build a business system with "logistics" and "side jobs" as its core.

Once this business system is successfully built, it will immediately become the core competitiveness of [Polaris Chamber of Commerce].

And Qihuahua herself might be able to consider retirement.

……

"OK, the money has arrived, happy cooperation!"

"Take the goods!"

Qihuahua turned around and shouted, and someone carried out bundles of large oars from the cabin.

The brave sniper stepped forward and helped the crew members to carry it.

But just as he picked up the oars, he suddenly received a transfer message -

Qihuahua transferred 2500 yuan to him.

——It was not refunded from the account he had just used to pay, but a transfer from Qihuahua’s personal account.

It just happened to be the money for the oars that he paid by scanning the code.

"?"

A question mark appeared on the brave sniper's head.

He looked at Nanaka in confusion.

Qihuahua waved at him and gave him a lovely smile.

[Sorry! There were so many people here, so I had to act indifferent.]
[Of course I can’t accept Ji Ge’s money!]
The heroic sniper paused, speechless for a moment.

In the end, he just nodded to Qihuahua and continued to move the oars.

Only at this moment did he deeply feel that Qihuahua really seemed to have the talent to become a businessman!
[Polaris Chamber of Commerce] has a bright future.

……

……

It didn't take much effort to move and divide the 50 oars.

The Brave Sniper and his companions, along with more than 20 other ships, paddled rapidly towards the depths of the doldrums, searching for any signs of the existence of the Sky Island.

It's not difficult at all.

When they went 50 nautical miles deep into the doldrums, they heard strange sounds in the sea breeze.

Ten more nautical miles deeper, the sound became clearer and clearer.

That's the sound of the bell.

The old sailors had heard the bells mentioned in the Caribbean Lookout! There were also visible changes on the sea surface ahead—

The sea level is slowly rising!

Everyone instantly got excited and started paddling like crazy!
From this moment on, everyone is no longer a collaborator in the joint adventure, but a competitor!

This extra-long, special-shaped paddle is tiring to use.

Now we start to compete in speed, and rowing becomes more difficult.

However, in just a dozen seconds, the brave sniper felt his arms sore and his wrists numb.

——He was trapped at sea for several days and gained very little experience. At this time, he was only a little over level 3 and his physical condition had not been strengthened much.

What’s even more troublesome is that if we row slowly, everyone can still barely coordinate.

Now the speed was suddenly increased, the rhythm was instantly disrupted, and the long oars began to fight.

The only good news is: so is everyone else.

Some ships not only failed to increase speed, but even slowed down.

When the brave sniper was rejoicing, drums suddenly sounded from behind!
The drum beats are extremely fast!
Amid the fast-paced drum beats, there were also deafening shouts.

The brave sniper and his teammates turned around suddenly.

Behind them they saw a slender pirate ship that was half the size of theirs, with sailors sitting on the sides and a drummer standing at the bow.

The drummer struck the drum hard with the drumstick in his hand.

The rowers bent their arms and rowed simultaneously to the beat of the drum.

The distance between them sitting was ridiculously close. If the Brave Sniper and his men were to shake hands, they would bump into each other after just a few shakes.

But they were not affected at all.

From beginning to end, no two oars collided!
An exciting sound came from the sea -

"Dong dong dong dong——"

"Hey yo! Hey yo!"

"Dong dong dong dong——"

"Hey yo! Hey yo!"

……

The heroic sniper and his teammates stared in a daze as the ship "whoosh" and "flew" past them.

He overtook three ships at an extremely fast speed and rushed to the front of the fleet in one breath!

"Damn, the gods have come down to earth!"

"Is this fucking reaching full sail speed?"

"These brothers, are they from the Guangdong Dragon Boat Team?"

"The dragon boat team can't be that fast! Aren't all these guys Level 5 guys with enhanced [Physique]?"

"Fuck, it's so possible!"

……

Players on each ship were complaining wildly.

I watched the ship sail away and rush into the rising sea.

The heroic sniper looked at the rising sea level and subconsciously said, "Isn't it going to be... an underwater volcano erupting?"

This is also what everyone speculates, a possibility of reaching Sky Island.

Other guesses include "super big birds grab people up", "sky islands will come down from time to time", "riding special creatures to climb up from the waterfall", "using hot air balloons to make the boat float up"...

Etc., etc.

Players from all over the world have made various speculations.

The brave sniper looked at the scene in front of him and felt that it was most likely a volcanic eruption.

Sure enough, the rise of the sea level began to become faster and more dramatic!

So much so that "sea level" has become "sea slope".

——The sea quickly developed a slope visible to the naked eye!
All the ships instantly went upstream.

Several ships that were not fast enough were immediately pushed backwards by the current, getting farther and farther away from the abnormal sea surface!
The brave snipers rowed as hard as they could, but they could only keep the boat in place and prevent it from being washed away.

Only the boat in the front, which was highly suspected to be from the dragon boat team, was still rushing forward against the current!

And as the slope became steeper, they seemed to be inspired to fight - or to be more aggressive.

The drums were getting louder and louder.

The drummer is no longer beating the drum, he is smashing it!

The rumbling sound of the drums can be clearly heard amidst the roar of the huge amount of sea water.

The rowers shouted at the top of their lungs.

Their faces were red, their veins were bulging! They had already used 120% of their strength!
But there seems to be no end to the rise in sea levels.

The slope is getting steeper and steeper.

10 degrees, 20 degrees, 30 degrees...

At 60 degrees, even a boat full of super rowers with iron wills can no longer resist.

On the more than 20 ships at the edge of the abnormal sea surface, players looked up in shock, looking at the completely unscientific ocean wonder with confusion on their faces.

What appeared before their eyes at this moment was not the sea at all.
It was clearly a "mountain" built of sea water, towering into the clouds!
