Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 157 Return to Ten Thousand Poison Island

The three quickly arrived at the east gate of Golden Dragon City. Su Yu contacted Chu Xinyue, and a spirit-winged flying boat soon arrived. Su Yu immediately said:

"My regimental commander has arrived."

"Stand still."

The second brother patted Su Yu on the shoulder and looked at the approaching Spirit Wing Flying Boat with a smile.

A few seconds later, the airship stopped in front of them. The second brother looked at the two beautiful women who stepped off the airship with surprise and astonishment, and involuntarily withdrew his outstretched hand.

He maintained a smile on his face, but asked Su Yu telepathically:
"Don't tell me this is your commander? A woman?"

Su Yu said in a low voice:

"Yes, that's my regimental commander."

"Female Leader"

"Second Sister-in-law turned around and looked at Su Yu with a strange gaze, then exchanged a glance with her husband and nodded, before smiling and welcoming Chu Xinyue and Xiao Qingli."

"Welcome, both of you. You must be the leader of the Chu Xinyue group, right? I am Meng Siyi, the vice president of Canglan Pavilion, and also Su Yu's sister-in-law."

Chu Xinyue shook hands with Meng Siyi and nodded, saying:
"Hello, President Meng. I am Chu Xinyue, and this is my good friend Xiao Qingli."

"Welcome, Commander Chu and Fairy Xiao. I am Su Huan, Elder of the Canglan Association, and Su Yu's second brother. Thank you, Commander Chu, for taking care of my younger brother."

"Elder Su, you're too kind. Su Yu's current strength is the result of his own hard work. I just gave him a push. We complement each other, each working hard and achieving success together."

"Commander Chu, you're too kind. In any case, you are his benefactor and savior."

Meng Siyi's statement was firm and decisive. Before Chu Xinyue could say anything more, she changed the subject:

"Look, this isn't the place to talk business. How about we go back and discuss it further?"

Chu Xinyue smiled and nodded:
"please!"

Second Sister-in-law took to the air and flew towards Golden Dragon City together with Chu Xinyue and Xiao Qingli.

Behind the crowd, Su Huan transmitted his voice to Su Yu and asked:

"Your commander is so young and beautiful? And so nice to you, could it be that she's taken a liking to you?"

Su Yu, who was following behind, almost choked on her breath and replied speechlessly via telepathy:

"Second brother, what are you thinking? Nothing like that."

"Is it wrong for me to have talent and for the captain to have a discerning eye? Don't you guys usually try to find new talent?"

"Of course we will find new people, but we can't let a newcomer who has been training for less than a year become a captain, let alone a newcomer who has been training for less than two years become a deputy commander."

Su Huan said with a look of disbelief:

“In the normal training of newcomers, we provide resources to help them grow quickly in the first few years. We don’t entrust them with important tasks so quickly, as that would only distract them.”

"Our situation was different. The team leader was in a difficult situation and urgently needed newcomers to step up."

Su Yu explained earnestly, recounting to her second brother the predicament Chu Xinyue had faced.

After hearing his explanation, the second brother finally understood:
"I see, then Second Brother can breathe a sigh of relief."

Su Yu pursed her lips:

"Then what do you think?"

"Hehe, I was just worried about it affecting your relationship with Miss Qingchan."

"By the way, you should talk to Qingchan about this so she doesn't misunderstand."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to her when I'm done with my work."

"Just know it yourself."

Five minutes later, the group arrived at the manor area inside Jinjiao City, where the second brother and his wife had a villa.

Inside the villa, after a brief conversation, the second sister-in-law took the initiative to ask:
"I heard from my younger brother that Commander Chu has more than 1,700 people coming here. I would like to welcome them very much. On behalf of the Canglan Guild, I can promise that your team will receive the best treatment, whether you join our guild, become an independent team, or join a guild. I wonder what kind of cooperation you would like to do, Commander Chu?"

Chu Xinyue and Xiao Qingli exchanged a glance, and Chu Xinyue said in a deep voice:

"We plan to register under your guild first, and then decide whether to merge with you after some time."

Meng Siyi immediately said:
"no problem."

Then, with a tap, a map opened in front of everyone. She manipulated the map, adjusted her position, and pointed to several places, saying:

"This is Golden Dragon Island. The entire Golden Dragon Island, along with a large area of ​​the surrounding sea, belongs to the Canglan Society."

She then pointed to the various locations on the map, each a different color, and explained them one by one:
"These marked locations are all resource points occupied by our guild. Some belong directly to the guild, while others belong to affiliated teams. These cannot be moved. Only those marked with white can be vacated as your new base. You can choose one from these."

After a pause, Meng Siyi zoomed out on the map and pointed to the area beyond, saying:
"Of course, if you don't think these are good enough, you can choose the outside. This is an area outside our guild, but most of the good places outside are occupied by other guilds, big and small. If you want a better and more promising guild base, you need to defeat the guilds or teams that occupy these territories and take them over."

Chu Xinyue glanced at the map and waved to Su Yu, who was sitting in the back:

“Su Yu, you can’t slack off now that you’re the deputy commander. You should also come and give us your feedback.”

Su Yu immediately stood up and walked forward without any hesitation.

My gaze fell on the map my sister-in-law had shared, and detailed information would pop up whenever I looked at a marked location.

As he was pondering, Meng Siyi continued with a smile:

"Commander Chu, rest assured. Since you are affiliated with the Canglan Guild, our guild is obligated to provide some assistance. To put it simply, if you want to seize territory from other guilds or monsters to build your base later, I can send a main force guild to support you."

"Thank you, Chairman Meng." A glint flashed in Chu Xinyue's eyes. She knew that this strong support was only because of Su Yu; otherwise, under normal circumstances, such strong support would only be given if the company were merged into another entity.

Normally, when you affiliate with another guild, the most you'll get is support in terms of intelligence and affiliation fees, such as waiving the affiliation fee for a few years. They will rarely send their main force to help you.

Su Yu quickly surveyed the surrounding area and selected a location.

He pointed to a large island tens of thousands of kilometers away from Jinjiao Island and said:

"I think this place is good and suitable for our development."

Meng Siyi looked at the location he pointed to and nodded, saying:
"Ten Thousand Poisons Island, my judgment is good!"

The second brother nodded in agreement.

"This place is really nice."

Su Yu explained to Chu Xinyue and Xiao Qingli, who were still unaware of the situation on the island:

"This island is called Ten Thousand Poisons Island. It is a famous large island in this area, even larger than Golden Dragon Island. The island is infested with poisonous creatures and insects, and its resources in this area are extremely abundant."

"The reason we chose this island is because there are many powerful forces on the island. The three strongest gangs are not much different in strength, similar to the Thousand Feather Gang. It will be difficult to determine the island's overlord in a short time. We have a good chance to get involved. If we develop well, we might even become the fourth largest gang in the area in the future."

Chu Xinyue pondered for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Let's go to Ten Thousand Poisons Island to investigate first."

Second Sister-in-law nodded and said:
"That's fine, but you've all had a long journey. You can rest for a bit and go tomorrow."

But Chu Xinyue shook her head and said:
"Let's set off today. My men have already set sail, and I need to prepare as soon as possible."

"Alright, I'll send someone to take you there."

She did not refuse this.

Half an hour later, the two airships soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of Wan Du Island.

They sped along at breakneck speed and arrived at Ten Thousand Poisons Island in just six hours.

After stopping outside the island for a while, one airship was left behind, while the other sailed into the island and headed straight for the northeast.

After a brief pause at the Kamikaze Gang, they flew towards the island.

There were only five people on the flying boat: Su Yu, Su Huan, Chu Xinyue, Xiao Qingli who was wearing a veil, and Lin Qingfeng, the leader of the Shenfeng Gang. He was the local bigwig on Wandu Island and knew the situation on the island better than they did.

"If you all want to establish yourselves on the island, it's actually not difficult at all."

Lin Qingfeng introduced them with a smile:
“Almost every month, some small and medium-sized teams come to Wan Du Island. Most of them manage to settle down successfully, but it is not so easy for them to grow and expand.”

"The focus is on the three major gangs: the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang in the south of the island, the Heavenly Gu Society in the center of the island, and the Poison Dragon Gang in the southwest of the island."

"These three major gangs have occupied the island for many years, always regarding Ten Thousand Poisons Island as their private domain, and not allowing other forces to develop and grow. As long as they grow to a certain extent, they will face their joint suppression. If you only want to occupy a place here and use the poisonous insects and Gu resources on the island, that's certainly fine, but if you want to develop and grow, it will be difficult."

None of them were intimidated by this. The second brother asked directly:
“There’s no need to worry about Qingfeng. Tell us if there are any suitable places on this island to establish a base.”

Lin Qingfeng nodded:
"There are definitely places available, quite a few. Do you have any requirements regarding the location? Do you want it to be on or off the island? Do you have any requirements regarding the direction?"

"Outside the island, as close to the north as possible, we need a deep-water port, and we have a fleet."

"Well, there are two places. I'll take you there."

"Walk."

More than an hour later, the airship appeared on the shore somewhere in the northwest of the island.

From the air, it looks as if the coastline has been bitten off, creating a huge inner bay with a diameter of more than ten kilometers. The water in the bay looks deep enough to anchor large ships. The shore is a sheer cliff, and the base needs to be built on a cliff hundreds of meters high.

There is a fairly large flat area on the cliff, which is perfect for establishing a base.

Further away are rolling mountains shrouded in thick, poisonous fog and miasma, with columns of toxic gas rising into the sky from time to time.

"Let's go check out another place."

Two hours later, the airship arrived at the southeast corner of the island and came to a river mouth.

The river is not wide, only about five or six kilometers long, which is considered very small.

The river mouth is not a gentle riverbed, but a steep cliff, so the camp can be built on both sides of the river mouth.

In terms of location, this location is better, since there is a river suitable for newbies to level up, but the water is not deep enough and the river mouth is not wide enough to stop a few warships.

Su Yu looked at Chu Xinyue and asked:

"Which one do you think is better?"

Chu Xinyue did not answer, but instead asked in return:

"If you were the commander, which location would you choose as your base?"

Su Yu immediately replied:

"The one I watched before."

"why?"

"There are two advantages. First, the location is remote. The only one of the three major gangs nearby is the Poison Dragon Gang, unlike here which is sandwiched between the Ten Thousand Poisons Gang and the Heavenly Gu Society, making it difficult to expand outwards."

"Another advantage is the deep water and large harbor, which can accommodate large fleets and giant warships. If the base is built on the side, it can be supported by the fleet's military force."

Chu Xinyue nodded after listening:
"Just like you said, the base will be built over there."

"it is good!"
