The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 174: The Treasure Of The Sea King

Void Ocean, Crystal Palace.

The Sea King was pacing back and forth with a ghastly expression on his face.

Then, a subordinate walked over with a quick pace.

“Lord King of the Sea, Coconut Island has been invaded. The foreigners have looted the spiritual materials in two spiritual fields.”

“Bang!”

Upon hearing that, the Sea King stamped his foot heavily, leaving a pothole on the ground.

This was not the first time. Recently, the islands where he placed the spiritual materials and treasures were invaded one after another, making the Sea King feel enraged.

In the Void Ocean, it was the first time such a provocative raid had happened. The Sea King was unsure which force was aiming at him.

“Did you manage to find out which force it is? Why are they so clear about the location of the islands where I placed the treasure? And how do they know the distribution of the guard force!?” asked the Sea King while glaring at his subordinate who was kneeling on the ground.

“After the investigation conducted by the people I sent out, we found that these forces have a similar characteristic. All their sailing tools are Specter Ships and Specter Warships. Therefore, I suspect that it’s done by some sea merchant force!”

“Sea merchants?”

Speaking of sea merchants, the Sea King recalled Squid, the sea merchant who was killed by Xiao Tian back then. He had paid a price for the incident to come to an end.

“We have already compensated the Western Trading Association, it can’t be them. Besides, based on the strength of the Western Trading Association, they will definitely lose if they were to fight against me!”

The Sea King rejected this speculation after some thought.

However, if it was not the Western Trading Association, the Sea King could not figure out which trading association would be targeting him secretly.

After pondering for a while, Sea King spoke again, “Keep on investigating, you must find out the exact force!”

“Yes!” the subordinate quickly left after accepting the order.

While the Sea King was agitated by this matter, the official web forum of Battle Online burst into an uproar.

Right now on the official forum, a post about the guide was bumped to the top and had received more than 5,000,000 likes, creating the highest number of likes in the entire forum.

There were a total of thirteen pictures in this top post. These maps clearly marked the storage locations of the Sea King’s spiritual materials and treasures, and even the distribution of guards at these storage points was clearly shown.

This post created quite a stir in the forum.

There was particularly a label of Official Sticky Post on the subject of the post, which meant the content of this post had been officially recognized and all the internal information was true.

A large number of players immediately began to sail toward the Void Ocean, following the marks on the map.

As a large number of players obtained treasures and spiritual materials at the marked points on the map even more specific information was shared to the forum. All the players who were previously hesitant could not help but begin to swarm into the Void Ocean.

Meanwhile, those players who gained something paid a very high compliment to this post.

Invincible_Loneliness: “Thank you, thank you so much. Your post has helped our guild obtain an abundance of rewards. (Tip: 100 soul coins)”

A_Mammoth: “Oh my god, I really looted a batch of spiritual materials by relying on the map coordinates. (Tip: 100 soul coins)”

Swordsman_Who_Abhor_Evil: “Thanks, you must have made a lot of effort to explore these areas, this is for your hard work. (Tip: 100 soul coins)”

Ferocious_Beast: “Awesome, I found a material depot according to the coordinates. Although I was killed by the guards in the end, I got three spiritual materials and I just sold them. Now I have the money for class advancement. Thank you very much. (Tip: 50 soul coins)”

Fat_Happy_Water: “Our team managed to find the Water Curtain Island according to your map. We also found the treasure depot but we didn’t get anything as we were accidentally discovered by the guards. However, we still have to tip. (Tip: 50 soul coins)”

It could be said that this post had officially unfolded the Age of Discovery for the players.

After all, the main purpose of many players heading out to sea was to look for the islands. Hence, there was no guarantee that they would get something in return for sailing out.

However, it was different now. The storage points of these treasures were clearly marked on the map. Even if some players could not afford the ship, they could not help but buy the Specter Ship using the soul coins in their savings, planning to go to the marked points of these treasures to try their luck.

The whole forum was filled with the vibe of longing for the ocean.

The perpetrators behind this were naturally Lu Wu and Bei Li.

The main reason they would recruit Xiao Tian was to obtain the map of these sea areas.

Xiao Tian was originally one of the top commanders of the Sea King Navy. He knew the Void Ocean very well and even the location of the islands where the Sea King stored his treasures.

After completely becoming a member of Beiqi, he obviously had nothing to hide. Thus, he told them everything he knew.

In the meantime, Bei Li had produced more than ten treasure maps of the Void Ocean based on Xiao Tian’s words. She then posted the maps on the official web forum using a smurf account and publicized the matter as a pro player. After that, she affirmed the authenticity of this post under the name of the officials.

As expected, this trick went very well. Many of the treasures of the Sea King were raided by players and a large number of spiritual materials and spiritual stuff were seized, bringing a lot of trouble to the Sea King.

Bei Li’s smurf account instantly became a pro player in the eyes of the forum players, she was also awarded the title of God of Exploration by the players.

The tips below this post alone exceeded 100,000 soul coins. Of course, all the soul coins went into Lu Wu’s pocket.

However, Lu Wu had prepared himself to bear the possible consequences of such a large-scale raid, which was to face a full-scale war with the Sea King.

At the current stage, there was still a wide gap between the strength of the players and that of the Sea King Navy.

Nonetheless, Lu Wu had something that the Sea King was dreadful of and that was Tong Gua.

Right now, the Sea King had no idea that the ability of Tong Gua was solely dependent on fate. This was why Tong Gua might be a potential force that the Sea King was afraid of.

Although it was unlikely for the large-scale battle to break out in an instant, small-scale battles were completely inevitable.

However, the players were certainly not afraid of the small-scale battles as they were completely immortal. While they were fighting each other, it would only incur an overall loss in strength for the Sea King Navy, but not Lu Wu and the others.

On the contrary, the players would gradually improve their overall strength in small-scale confrontations.

Therefore, Lu Wu was currently thinking of creating as many small-scale conflicts as possible over a large area, so as to consume the huge force of the Sea King Navy little by little, until it was completely defeated in the end.

Fueling war by warfare, this was the invasion route that all the players should take.
