Chapter 588 - 553: Developing Chimera Forest



Da Fei went to the barracks and sent all 500 units of Forest Spring from the transport vehicle to the Iron Helmet Tavern. However, just thinking about the arrangement for his over 200 elite Forest Demons and Flower Demons, Da Fei felt quite troubled.

Using the System's station function to transport the troops back to Radiant City? But the problem is that this is the Dwarf Capital. Transporting them back involves long and difficult roads; it would take almost one month in game time and more than three days in reality. Moreover, now that there are no battles to fight, what use would they be after returning? They'd still be idle, right?

Forces with special production skills obviously shouldn't be left idle. They should be stationed in the Vine Demon Space's forest to collect Forest Spring and pollen. But the problem is, I suspect that in three days' time, I will have already departed for the Eastern World. Where would I find the time to arrange that? I would have to wait until I return from the Eastern World to tackle it, but who knows when I'll be able to return from there? Ultimately, they would still end up idling.

No, I absolutely cannot let them remain idle. Now that I already have properties in the Dwarf Kingdom, I want to find a way to station them in the Dwarf Kingdom to promote the industry and achieve a one-stop service from raw materials to goods to market nearby.

With a plan in mind, Da Fei hurriedly rushed back to the Iron Helmet Tavern.

At this moment, Malikim, who was receiving the Forest Spring, saw Da Fei return and couldn't help cheering excitedly: "Sir! This Forest Spring is truly top-notch! As long as this spring water is used for brewing, it is bound to produce top-notch fine liquor. With the same ingredients and the same technique, the price could even multiply by five or six times, even ten times!"

Hahaha! This Forest Spring is the result gathered by the Forest Demons in the Divine Domain Space for hundreds of years, the raw material that I've brought back after traveling thousands of miles. Just five or six times? It must be at least ten times!

Da Fei earnestly asked, "Do you see a good market future for this Forest Spring?"

Malikim slapped his thigh with unwavering conviction: "Even a blind dwarf could sniff out its market value!"

Da Fei nodded, "Great, but I only have 500 units right now, so it's hard to say how much liquor can be mass-produced. However, I have specialized Forest Demon workers for collecting Forest Spring, but I don't have a forest. Could you think of a way? The bigger the forest and the safer, the better!"

Malikim frowned for a moment, "Forest Demon workers? Forest?" Then he nodded and immediately said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I'll take a sample and report to the boss!"

That's exactly the words I was waiting for! Da Fei of course knew who he referred to as the boss, and thus chuckled: "Make it quick, time is pressing!"

"Rest assured, sir!" Saying so, Malikim hurried out the door.

While Da Fei quietly sat back down in the Black Crystal Stone private room waiting for good news. He believed that although the Dwarf Kingdom is mainly composed of snow mountains and canyons, there are still forests, and dwarves primarily focus on mining. They do not utilize forests to the extent of the Elves, generally treating them more like logging sites. Disputes over interests should not be too intense, so it shouldn't be very hard to ask the Prince for a forest to set up operations.

While contemplating, the room was suddenly filled with black smoke and fog, and the mysterious man in black appeared again.

Haha, very efficient work—I like it! Da Fei quickly stood up and laughed, "Welcome, sir! Sorry to trouble you to come again."

The man in black praised, "Truly Mr. Da Fei. Just having taken over the tavern and you've already managed to instigate such a long-term influential move. His Highness highly appreciates it and also sees great potential in the Forest Spring brewing market. However—"

However? Da Fei's smile froze slightly, I'm pressed for time! Please, don't give me trouble!

Here, the man in black spoke solemnly: "For certain reasons, His Highness cannot publicly support you on this matter. Thus, you can only station your worker troops in Chimera Canyon Forest under the guise of assisting with law enforcement. It's a very dangerous area that hasn't been developed by the Kingdom, would you take it?"

Oh geez! Three-headed Chimera flying creatures? I've already said I didn't want dangerous forests, could you not give me trouble? I need an explanation!

Da Fei bitterly said, "If the Prince can sell off a tavern and a restaurant, why can't he cooperate a bit on the forest?"

The man in black replied sternly, "Because once a tavern and a restaurant are sold, they have nothing to do with the Prince. But it's different with a forest; he can't sell it. Once the Prince permits you to develop a forest under his jurisdiction, it would appear as if he's fostering a faction for personal gain. Do you understand? Thus, the Prince can only find a forest not actually under the Kingdom's control, and use such justification to allow your stay. Overall, the Prince believes in your capabilities to handle the local dangers effectively!"

—System Prompt: Prince Alberon has issued you a quest "Security Defense of Chimera Canyon Forest." Do you accept?

—Task Hint: The Chimera Canyon Forest located in the Northern Mountains of Kledin Town in the Dwarf Kingdom has been dominated by powerful Chimera populations for thousands of years. These powerful creatures sometimes appear in nearby residential areas, posing a threat to the local residents. Your task is to eliminate or reduce the number of Chimeras to prevent them from threatening the surrounding residents.

Damn it! Da Fei is utterly crushed!

If I personally lead the team, of course I'd wipe out all enemies, but I'm about to go fight Sea Monsters and Eight-Headed Snakes, so who has the time for such triviality? Letting Forest Demons and Flower Demons without hero leadership settle in, what difference does it make from fighting with wild creatures?

Da Fei immediately opened the official website to check the detailed introduction of Chimera:

Chimera, a large outdoor Flying Creature, normally has two heads, while elites or BOSS have three heads. Its attack method is the infuriatingly far-ranged aerial acid spit ground attack.

Although Da Fei's Charming Emperor Cannon Emperor is a Flying Banshee, they can't shoot in the air and must land to shoot. But Chimera doesn't need to, it's basically a true bomber, dominating all close combat infantry, only remote troops or those truly capable of air combat can contend with it. But the real air combat troops, except for the Flower Demons who cannot be dispatched, are absent in all countries.

However, my Elite Flower Demon can be dispatched and can engage in air combat with it! If I could spare the time, it's not impossible to win, right?

Da Fei was checking the map of Dwarf Kingdom. Chimera Forest is located in the north of Kledin Town, and Kledin Town is at the very north of Dwarf Kingdom, almost close to the Arctic Circle! Damn, so it's a harsh frozen land where monsters are strong? And transporting troops from the capital Moradin to Kledin Town would also inevitably consume half a month in-game, which is more than a day in real time.

Damn it! It hurts whether I look at it one way or the other!

At that moment, the man in black asked again, "Has Mr. Da Fei decided? Although it's dangerous there, the more dangerous the place, the bigger the opportunity."

Da Fei sighed deeply, "Is there a time limit for this task? Any penalties for failure?"

The man in black shook his head and chuckled, "Chimera has been rampant in that area for hundreds of years, what's stopping it from continuing for another hundred years? Don't worry, there's no time limit or failure penalties for this task, but it's always better to complete it sooner."

Alright! Since transporting troops will take more than a day anyway, I'll settle the Sea Monster and stuff within a day, and before heading out to the Eastern World, I will also... not to say completely handle it, but at least take control of a small piece of territory, it should be doable given it's as big as the Divine Domain Space, right?

Da Fei nodded, "Alright, I'll take on this task!"

—System Prompt: You have accepted the task "Security Protection of Chimera Canyon Forest".

The man in black nodded, "Very well, you first transport your troops to Kledin Town and then go to the town to find the mayor, he will assist you as much as possible."

"Got it."

"Well then, I wish you continued success, goodbye!" After saying this, the man in black again turned into smoke and disappeared.

Da Fei shook his head and sighed inwardly. The more NPC assistance involved, the more troublesome the task! What am I even doing here? But it doesn't matter, the US Empire is deploying troops and building bases globally, I should also strategize globally and set up bases. With Teleportation Arrays, wherever I go, I'll have troops nearby that I can pull out for battle.

Then Da Fei found Malikim and instructed, "While I'm away, leave the wine development to you."

Malikim patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry sir, the boss has also instructed just now, such high-quality ingredients must be used to brew the highest quality wine, and the boss will also send a top brewmaster to assist."

"Good, very good!" Da Fei nodded satisfactorily. Having the NPCs giving me tasks help me complete tasks, only I can be so cool.

Now there's nothing more to say, Da Fei once again headed to the barracks, packaging and dispatching the Earth Element BOSS and over two hundred Elite Forest Demons and Flower Demons.

Then there wasn't anything for me to do here, I headed back to Radiant City to prepare for the Sea Monster battle.
