Chapter 175 Fishing for Treasure Fish

Today, young people in Annam are generally divided into pro-Western and pro-imperialist factions. In addition, there are of course some idiots who believe that Annam can be completely independent or play both sides.

Nguyen The Tuyet was clearly not that kind of idiot; in fact, he thought that the people of South Vietnam would only be able to live as monkeys in the trees from now on.

The reasoning is too obvious.

Just look at the current situation in Persia and you'll understand. America is stirring up trouble in Persia, but it's just making a mess of things. On the other hand, the Empire, although restrained, has kept the monsters in East Asia quiet and made it the world's production center. That's real skill.

The entire production system of East Asia was inseparable from the empire, even pro-American Japan and Korea. In other words, the empire actually influenced the industrial lifeline of the surrounding countries.

This was already an inevitable trend even before the old-school games came out.

After the release of the Old Earth game, the Empire, as the only civilization that has been continuously passed down, already surpasses many other civilizations in the world in terms of sheer value.

After all, everyone knows the original theme of this game.

inherit.

This is a game between the old era and the new era, and also a struggle for inheritance.

The vast majority of deities in North Vietnam, such as Guan Yu, Guanyin, and Confucius, originated from the empire. Therefore, if one wanted to reach the final stage of cultivation, it was inevitable to submit to the empire.

Once this principle is understood, the gods they raise belong only to Ruan Shixiu and others of the Imperial lineage; they are born imperial citizens and even more devoted to protecting the Empire than many imperial citizens.

Of course, Annam is not without other traditions, such as Catholicism, which is prevalent in South Vietnam, so players there naturally do not want to be compatible with the Empire.

Of course, there are also some small, irrational people who believe that Annam is mainly Buddhist, and that Bharat is the birthplace of Buddhism. They also believe that Bharat has been quite influential in Southeast Asia in the last ten years or so, and therefore it can be considered a place to turn to.

However, this kind of cerebral palsy was beaten up by both North and South Vietnam.

Ao Peng sat down again and kindly asked everyone around him to sit down as well.

An empire should not just guard its own small territory. It is clear that Qi Tang, although only nineteen years old, has considerable skill and ambition to become a Nourishing God-level player.

She has already rallied a core group of players from North Vietnam and Annam.

Although another month or two have passed, the number of players at the "Nourishing God" level has surged, no longer at the level where every single one of them is a national-level elite.

However, a player at the "Nourish the Spirit" level is at least a captain-level figure in a large city's traditional gaming community, especially among young people. These are the backbone of the industry and are worth recruiting and nurturing.

Ao Peng glanced at the Annamese players around him and found that they were filled with admiration from the bottom of their hearts and did not have much dark emotion. It was clear that Qi Tang's methods were much more mature than her age.

After sitting down, Ruan Shixiu shared the information he knew: "Captain Ao, according to my reliable sources, a top player from Balat who claims to be an incarnation of Vishnu is preparing to seize the opportunity during this Dragon Palace Ascension. He has already arrived in Anbei Nanlun. In addition, people from Nanyue also want to take advantage of the situation, but their strength is not as great as Balat's."

When Ao Peng heard that Barat was preparing to get involved, he laughed and said, "It seems that if we don't teach them a lesson, they'll be like a stubborn leech."

Ao Peng had contact with players from Barat twice. The first time was with the little elephant god's follower in Shoucai Town. That was just a personal friction, or even that idiot was simply tricked by Su Motan.

The second time was when I encountered the Balat spy on New Year's Eve.

This time, it didn't cause any trouble in the old world of the Empire. Ao Peng heard that what happened later in the port city was that although the Empire didn't intervene, players from Barat and Europa clashed, and the Barat players were ultimately beaten up. If the Empire hadn't intervened in time, those Barat players would have been killed by Joan of Arc II in the port city.

But that's just how Barat is. You despise him and think he's a cesspool, but he thinks you're afraid of him and causes trouble everywhere. Every time he causes trouble and gets beaten up, he acts like Ah Q, smug and boasts about it everywhere.

Most recently, he sold a Persian ship, claiming it was a testament to Barat's wisdom.

This has been met with a barrage of criticism online, because you were the one who invited the Persian ship there!

Ordinary people simply cannot understand why Bharat would promote this as wisdom.

The same applies to the Dragon Palace treasure this time.

First, the Dragon Palace's treasures are incredibly attractive, containing countless precious items. Second, the Dragon Palace's unique location allows Barat to enter through Annam without physical conflict with the Empire, making it safe enough.

After obtaining some information from Qi Tang, Ao Peng bid farewell to everyone in the afternoon, returned to his residence, released Little Chaos to cover up the situation at his residence, and then entered the Old Earth Game.

After entering the game this time, Ao Peng had a more precise goal.

He piloted the treasure ship and dived into the sea.

The waters of the Bardo realm are pitch black. Although the waves are smaller than those on the surface, it is impossible to distinguish front from back, left from right, or right, and there are no coordinates to help you make your way.

The way ordinary players determine the location of the Dragon Palace is very simple: when they go out to sea to fish, if they find a place where various treasure fish gather, they will risk sinking into the sea to search for traces of the Dragon Palace.

Some lucky players found the Dragon Palace, but without the aid of a treasure ship, they could only explore its outer perimeter, and almost all of them died inside. Even if they successfully surfaced, the small wooden boats and speedboats couldn't stabilize their hulls or maintain their position, making it impossible to provide support. It was better to just put the loot in their backpacks and pay half the incense offerings to respawn after death.

But Ao Peng is different; he not only has a treasure ship, but also top-notch navigation methods!

【The Map of Dragon Shepherds】

A ring of starlight spread out from Ao Peng as the center, with seven brilliant stars forming the handle of a dipper. Even in the vast starry sky, one could discern directions, let alone in the deep sea of ​​this intermediate realm.

[Lucky boy, in the invisible waters of the Bardo realm, you will not lose your way by using the Big Dipper as your guide.]

Having gained a sense of direction, what Ao Peng needs now is someone to guide him to the Dragon Palace. Since ordinary players can find the direction of the Dragon Palace through numerous treasure fish, Ao Peng can naturally use the same method.

He fixed the position of the treasure ship, used the Big Dipper as a fishing rod, attached a ball of incense to it, and cast it into the darkness ahead. Soon the Big Dipper fishing rod began to sway gently.

Ao Peng pulled hard, and a treasure fish with golden scales was caught. The reason why the treasure fish could help find the Dragon Palace was because these treasure fish contained a part of the dragon bloodline, and the dragon bloodline just happened to be restrained by the [Dragon Shepherd's Heaven and Earth Map].
