166: Attacks from various countries
As soon as he logged on the next day, Xiao Xing didn't rush to open his Treasure Chest. Instead, he teleported to Fuyan Town on the coastline.
He planned to head to the Divine Craftsman Clan's trading post first to trade for some items. If he was lucky enough to get equipment that boosted Luck, it would be easier to open supreme rank treasures.
While 151 points of Luck was high, it didn't guarantee a higher-tier treasure. After all, these were supreme rank items; it was better to be safe and add as much Luck as possible.
If he couldn't get any Luck-boosting treasures, it wouldn't be too late to open it then.
But as soon as Xiao Xing appeared, he saw a large number of players hurrying about, giving off the feeling that a major battle was imminent.
By now, players were mostly around Rank 50, and Fuyan was already crowded with figures.
In reality, most of these players lived in coastal areas, so they were used to seaside life in the game as well.
After arriving in Fuyan Town, they began operating shipyards, repair docks, and vessels traveling to various parts of the sea.
As long as they were given enough gold coins, they would take players out to sea, soliciting customers much like long-distance buses in the real world.
The NPCs in Fuyan Town were only Rank 50, and their defensive equipment was very crude and lacked security, so players generally didn't hire NPC ships.
Player ships were different; they were well-staffed and equipped with cannons, crossbows, machine guns, and other defensive weapons, offering much higher security.
In his past life, by the Middle Stage and Late Stage of the game, a massive number of players went out to sea every day to hunt monsters. The cities and docks along the coastline earned a significant amount of gold coins.
The coastal cities were the most profitable because this game spanned the entire world and was not limited to Dragon Country.
Just like in the real world, only by driving foreign trade could one earn more money.
"Miss, what's the situation?"
Seeing a female player rushing past him, Xiao Xing casually grabbed her.
"What are you grabbing me for?"
The woman was startled by the sudden grab.
She quickly scanned Xiao Xing up and down. She couldn't see any of his information, but she still spoke up:
"Is this your first time at the seaside?"
After saying that, she intended to leave.
"10,000 gold coins. Tell me what happened."
Xiao Xing pulled her back again.
"You...!"
The woman was about to lose her temper at being held, but seeing the gold coins being traded over, she clicked confirm.
"Handsome, the Sky-Blowing Gang's ships were attacked by Japan players in the North Sea region.
Not only were several ships seized, but the players on board were killed and sent back to the respawn point.
According to their reports, the Japan warships are about to arrive here.
You should either run quickly or go store your inventory items and join us in resisting those invaders."
After the woman finished speaking, she ignored Xiao Xing.
She needed to hurry to the System warehouse to store her things and then prepare to defend against the Japan players.
"So that's it!"
Xiao Xing looked out at the distant sea, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.
He was naturally no stranger to such events.
In his past life, he had been a member of the Sky-Blowing Gang. After the Sky-Blowing Gang built a city here, he frequently operated in the sea area.
He knew the sea even better than the land. In the Middle Stage of the game, the first to come over was Japan.
At the beginning, they constantly sent ships over to provoke, but they didn't dare to land at all, only using the cannons on the ships to attack from a distance.
After all, Ranks were relatively low now, and the various weapons on the ships weren't that Advanced; only a small group of people came.
Fuyan Town had many players and many Rank 50 NPCs; it would be very difficult to occupy this place now.
Although they didn't dare to land for the time being, they frequently liked to come and provoke.
Following Japan's lead, small countries like Cold Country, Philippines Country, Tai Country, and Vietnam began to show up and make a scene.
As Ranks increased, major powers like the USA, Eagle Country, and Fa Country would follow.
In his past life, they occupied the coastal towns and then sent large numbers of troops to various leveling zones to constantly hunt down Dragon Country players.
Xiao Xing walked to the dock.
At this time, there were dozens of ships at the dock, with many players busy on board. Various cannons and crossbows were set up, preparing to resist the Japan warships.
Many players stood along the nearby coastline, holding various weapons and looking out at the distant sea in a state of high alert.
Lately, the Japan players had visited more than once.
Each time, they attacked with cannons from a distance, making many players furious but helpless.
Only the Sky-Blowing Gang's warships had long-range cannons. They couldn't fly at all and could only stand on land and stare blankly.
Half an hour later, many warships appeared on the distant sea.
"Over four hundred warships? How is that possible!!"
When the players saw clearly, they couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
In the past, when Japan came, there were at most dozens of ships. They didn't expect so many warships this time.
"Wait, look, these warships are divided into three groups; they aren't together at all."
After a moment of shock, a man with a buzz cut regained his composure and shouted.
"Could it be that other countries have come too?"
Hearing the buzz-cut man's words, a woman nearby looked at the sea and analyzed calmly.
In the past, only Japan had come, but as time went on, it wasn't impossible for other countries to arrive.
However, she couldn't be certain because the distance was still quite far, and she couldn't tell which countries they were from.
System Announcement: Attention everyone, player [Asura] has issued a regional announcement:
"Hello everyone, I am the leader of the Sky-Blowing Gang. To cut to the chase, it's not just Japan this time, but also warships from Cold Country and Philippines Country.
The current numbers are unknown. Our Sky-Blowing Gang has already tried our best to mobilize personnel. Please be prepared; it's possible the enemy will land."
Just as everyone was wondering, a regional announcement rang out.
The Sky-Blowing Gang's warships were equipped with high-powered telescopes, making it easy to see the distant enemies clearly.
Hearing the announcement, many players couldn't help but tighten their grip on their weapons, looking at those warships with expressions of anger.
It was one thing for Japan to come, but those other two small countries dared to come and provoke as well.
Normally, no one would take those two small countries seriously, but if they partnered up, it would be a bit troublesome.
Currently, there weren't that many players on the coastline. Facing an attack from several countries, they might not be able to defeat the enemy.
Soon, more than four hundred warships approached the coastline and then stopped on the sea not far away.
They were in no hurry to attack. Instead, they walked out of the cabins one after another, coming onto the decks and using telescopes to constantly observe the town.
"Your Excellency Ueda, according to my observations, the Chinese town is much the same as a few days ago. There haven't been any major changes. I think we can attack this time."
On the leading Japan warship, a man in yellow clothes investigated with a telescope.
Afterward, he explained the situation to Tatsuya Ueda beside him.
According to his observations, there wasn't much change in the warships at the dock, including the various defensive weapons. There were just more players than before.
This time, they had joined forces with two other countries, totaling more than four hundred and eighty warships. They were also well-stocked with ammunition, so there was a high probability they could wipe out this town.
