When Da Fei excitedly reached dock number 6, he saw a medium-sized warship flying a small Chinese flag quietly docked at the shore. The ship’s two black metal masts, resembling chimneys, revealed its true nature.

Indeed, if it weren’t for me crazily going into massive debt to purchase the Sky Ship, others are actually more high-end. This is a truly grounded master; in terms of real skills, I might not be as good as him. I must show some respect.

Filled with reverence, Da Fei approached the boarding ladder and saw a silver-armored female knight named Moon God Night standing at the ship’s edge.

Da Fei couldn’t help but freeze; a female player? For a moment, Da Fei suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as though he had met her somewhere before!

Moon God Night gently said, "Please!"

—System Prompt: Chinese player Moon God Night has invited you aboard.

Only then did Da Fei snap back to reality, laughing heartily: "Nice to meet you! I’ve come to thank you for your help earlier." With that, Da Fei went up to the deck, where he saw a small folding table and two folding fishing chairs set up. Two cups of tea were on the table.

Moon God Night motioned to the table: "Please!"

Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat; this female player isn’t just skilled but also has style! I definitely need to watch my image.

"Then thank you for the hospitality." Da Fei sat down somewhat awkwardly.

Moon God Night also sat gracefully. Seeing her elegant yet gracious posture, Da Fei couldn’t help but feel stirred inside. Compared to Bloodrose Leader’s pure lady-like demeanor, this one had a unique charm, with a subtle hint of a strong person’s confidence!

At this moment, Moon God Night softly spoke: "I was merely passing by for a quest, and saw a group of Japanese players clustered together, which gave me the urge to bomb them."

Da Fei chuckled: "But you did help a lot! Japanese players have started playing in the domain, making them quite tough to deal with."

Moon God Night responded with an "Oh?" and asked, "Then what?"

Then? Of course, it’s time to talk business! Da Fei cleared his throat: "Well, I’d like you to help; let’s team up to clear battlefield number 3."

Moon God Night casually asked: "Using my airship?"

Da Fei eagerly replied: "Exactly! As for fuel, I’ll provide!"

Moon God Night’s eyebrows twitched: "You’ll provide the fuel?"

Da Fei smiled and said: "Exactly, is your airship powered by a resource furnace or a diesel furnace? If it’s a resource furnace, I’ve got readily available rich mineral resources. If it’s a diesel furnace that burns wood and oil, I can exchange rich minerals for rich wood; how about that?"

Moon God Night casually remarked: "You seem to know a bit about airships."

Da Fei laughed: "I know a bit, indeed."

At this moment, Da Fei suddenly became conflicted, unsure whether or not to disclose his own airship to her. If he told her, it might seem like he was flaunting and instructing her, which is no way to ask for help.

If it were someone else, it wouldn’t matter, but this female player never once called him "Brother Fei," clearly indicating a strong character, someone you absolutely shouldn’t show off in front of.

However, if he didn’t tell her, even if the Flying ship didn’t make a comeback, the Japanese side would eventually release the airship guarding the resurrection point video, and when she found out, she might think he was deliberately showing off—pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger with malicious intent, which would have worse consequences.

Damn! Why is human interaction so frustrating?

Just as Da Fei was torn, Moon God Night stood up and said, "Do you know why, in reality, China has nuclear weapons that can instantly annihilate Japan, yet we still suffer from Japan’s provocations repeatedly?"

Da Fei was taken aback, "Um, does that question have anything to do with the game?"

Moon God Night replied seriously, "It is similar! Because, in the game, airships serve as a nuclear weapon-like presence. If you seek a momentary thrill, the consequence is facing nuclear retaliation from the opposing camp. I know you’re quite famous and have repeatedly slain dragons and gods, but I am sure the reason you succeeded is because you had nuclear weapon-like tools. Fortunately, you’ve always won, but I bet when you look back, you’re filled with fear; in nuclear-level divine wars, a single mistake could erase all your prior achievements."

Da Fei was stunned on the spot! Damn, she actually knows me! Her thoughts and mine seem exactly alike! The agony of having a nuclear weapon and yet not being able to use it freely—finally, someone can share this burden, damn, she’s a true confidant!

Moon God Night went on: "So, I’m very sorry, my airship will not enter combat, nor can I help you."

Damn! She actually declined me!

Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped: "Then what’s your purpose for bringing the airship to the national war?"

Moon God Night smiled: "It’s to take on the players, obviously; however, I’m currently busy with quests, and don’t have time to deal with players."

Da Fei’s eyebrows jumped again: "Which players are worthy of you using an airship to deal with?"

Moon God Night calmly replied: "Some particularly special players. Although you are acknowledged as the world’s strongest player, it doesn’t mean there aren’t others who can PK you."

Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Da Fei recalled a classic martial arts line: An assassin isn’t necessarily the most skilled! Da Fei remembered the various players encountered recently, whether it be China’s Mars Language or Japan’s underground Spider Demon; they truly possess the ability to PK him.

At this moment, Da Fei realized he had found a true confidant! Not for any other reason; just her speaking attitude was entirely different from those women who specialized in pleasing him back at Bloodrose, she was someone who could truly talk business! At this moment, Da Fei decided to be honest and make a friend out of her! In life, naturally you should connect with those worthy.

Da Fei solemnly declared: "You’re right; airships are indeed akin to nuclear weapons. I also have an airship———"

At this moment, Moon God Night leisurely picks at her toes, while gleefully rejecting the legendary Da Fei just to see his awkward response. Watching Da Fei’s shocked expression, Moon God Night is absolutely thrilled inside, wanting to see him act arrogant! Keep it up, go on, act away! Think knowing a bit about airship power furnaces is impressive? Well, I’m just going to use a low-end diesel engine, and I won’t lend it! Haha! Annoy you!

Just as she’s feeling smug, she hears Da Fei earnestly say, "I also have an airship—"

Apu! Moon God Night nearly chokes!

She hears Da Fei continue, "—but it’s borrowed from an NPC through a loan; it’s now damaged by a Demon God and can’t move. Thinking about it now, it’s truly scary; one misstep and I’d be utterly bankrupt, back to square one. So you’re right, one shouldn’t use an airship for short-term thrills, or else you’ll attract Demon Gods in no time."

He actually dared to act in my face, turns out he also has an airship! Even if it’s borrowed, he at least made up for it by defeating a Demon God, right? At this moment, Moon God Night is furious, gnashing her teeth!

But no matter how annoyed she is inside, she can only continue to maintain her composed lady demeanor. So Moon God Night remains expressionless and calmly says, "As expected of the world’s strongest player. However, since you already know that using an airship will attract Demon Gods, why pull me into this?"

Da Fei quickly waves his hand, "No, the airship doesn’t need to directly engage! It can just provide logistical support from high above the battlefield."

Moon God Night responds with an oh, "Support whom?"

Da Fei seriously replies, "Support my air force! If my air force is overwhelmed, they can retreat to the ship to rest."

Moon God Night frowns, "Could you be more specific?" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Da Fei shakes his head with a wry smile, "Actually, I haven’t finalized the specific tactical plan. My initial idea is to use an airship to directly transport the troops to the enemy’s rear for a decapitation strike."

Moon God Night frowns, "The enemy’s rear could be the strongest elite battlefield, dropping there might be suicide."

Da Fei replies, "I’ll scout ahead first."

Moon God Night continues questioning, "With what will you scout? Don’t tell me you’re using my airship."

"Uh..." At this moment, Da Fei feels a bit awkward! Although Da Fei wants to come clean and befriend Moon God Night, it’s inconvenient to talk about Deirdre since they’ve just met.

Thus Da Fei can only vaguely say, "I have a special reconnaissance unit."

Moon God Night responds with an oh, "Why tell me all this? Do you trust me that much?"

Da Fei is momentarily stunned! Saying he trusts her would sound nice, but it might make him seem too naive, leaving an impression of being foolish.

So Da Fei can only shake his head and sigh, "Probably because of loneliness! I feel that at the level I’ve reached in this game, very few can truly discuss matters with me."

Loneliness!? At that moment, Moon God Night feels a tremor inside; isn’t she lonely too? Moon God Night suddenly changes her mind! She’s already lagging behind Da Fei in all aspects, no longer the strongest player, continuing solo doesn’t hold much meaning.

Moon God Night smiles faintly, "To cut to the chase, you think that because I operate an airship I can barely be considered skilled, hence worthy to discuss matters with?"

Da Fei chuckles dryly, "Though bluntly said, that’s indeed the case, besides we’re both China players, we should unite when fighting abroad."

"Both China players? Discussing matters with a pro?" Moon God Night’s face sinks, she strolls over to Da Fei’s side and pats him on the shoulder, "Kid? Your thinking is too simplistic!"

Whoa! As she pats him, Da Fei feels an electrifying sensation throughout his body! Is this teasing me?

Just as Da Fei is fantasizing, an incredible scene occurs. He witnesses this female knight beside him suddenly enveloped in white smoke, her silver armor turning into black armor, and a completely new figure appears with a red name overhead, skin as white as snow, lips as red as blood! Her name inverted into "Ye Shenyue" and her nationality suddenly changes to Japan!

In that instant, Da Fei sits down in astonishment, "Vampire!? Japanese player? Who are you?"

Moon God Night looks towards the shore and quickly says, "Get below decks to talk, don’t let the NPCs see it."

Stunned, Da Fei snaps back to his senses and quickly follows. Regardless if she’s a Japanese player, Da Fei with Angel Space isn’t afraid of her doing harm.

Once inside the cabin, Moon God Night turns back and casually says, "Dual alliance race, dual nationality! Now you know how complex this game is?"

Da Fei is shocked, "How can there be such an account?"

Moon God Night sneers, "You see it now? Simply put, this type of account is of the same nature as the golden name accounts used by those reporters; the difference is it’s a special account for in-game testing during beta, ordinary players can’t use it. There’s a lot of depth in this."

Da Fei suddenly realizes! Of course, a global large-scale game must have deep waters! Is this the fabled GM cheating account? They even have cheating accounts, then what’s the point of me painstakingly leveling my account?

Da Fei coldly asks, "Why reveal this to me, aren’t you afraid of exposure?"

Moon God Night laughs loudly, "Exposure? Sure! I can tell you, the United States might have dozens of these accounts secretly aiming to take you down! If exposure is desired, how about we expose them all together?"

Da Fei is momentarily dumbfounded!

Moon God Night shakes her head and laughs, "Don’t worry, although this account has special dual races and can change nationality, growth in the game must adhere to AI rules, leveling must start from the bottom, so you’re still the strongest. I just want to show you how reckless your behavior of seeking the so-called trustworthy pro for business talk was! If I were from the United States Special Action Group, you would’ve been tricked into oblivion!"

Da Fei is dumbfounded, "Should I thank you then?"

Moon God Night shakes her head with a laugh, "Your plan is interesting, I’ve got my eye on you! Find me when you’re ready; I need to complete a task first." (To be continued.
