Super Invincible Battleship-Chapter 1687 - 653: Failed to Steal the Chicken_2

Yan Fei suddenly said, "Pingping, I’ve been dealing with a lot lately, but once I’m through this period, I’ll have a surprise for you. I hope you’ll wait for me."

Lu Pingping sensed something, her face turned crimson, and she said, "Fei, I understand you, I will wait."

Starting from this morning, Yan Fei began to appear in several public places on Dream Island. To achieve optimal promotional effects, he even went to his Dream Casino and engaged in a high-stakes, attention-grabbing gambling duel with a short, known figure called Little Demon.

Little Demon is the custodian of Dream Casino, where under his watch, no one dares to cause trouble. This casino custodian has a domineering nickname, "Gambling Demon." Although he is a dwarf of only 1.3 meters, with a very difficult life, his gambling skills are extraordinary, reaching unbelievable heights. He is currently ranked third in the world, but everyone believes his strength might already be world number one.

Yan Fei wanted people to know he had returned to Dream Island, and the bustling casino was the best venue for it. So he deliberately put down a ten billion Dream Island wager to gamble against this world’s third-ranked Gambling Demon. The world’s richest man personally entering the gambling scene attracted a large audience to watch Yan Fei’s showdown with the Gambling Demon, and even a network television station conducted a live broadcast.

Yan Fei originally thought the Gambling Demon, Little Demon, only had skilled techniques and somewhat strong spiritual power, as long as he was cautious, he could completely win against Little Demon. However, when he sat at the same card table as the Gambling Demon, he discovered Little Demon’s terrifying nature. Despite being only 1.3 meters, Little Demon appeared like a towering mountain, indestructible.

Under the interference of Little Demon’s spiritual power, Yan Fei not only couldn’t see Little Demon’s hidden cards but was even intimidated by Little Demon’s spiritual power, causing him to make several mistakes at critical moments. Despite not wanting to lose intentionally, Yan Fei couldn’t avoid losing ten billion Dream Coins within an hour, even with the Auxiliary Brain calculating the probability of the opposing hand.

When Yan Fei left the card table after losing it all, sweat started to appear on his back. This wasn’t because he lost ten billion Dream Coins, but because during the mental clash with Little Demon, he was completely overwhelmed. After all, his condition of mental disarray hasn’t fully healed, not at his peak. Even though Little Demon isn’t a God-Level Expert, his spiritual power has reached that level, fighting with a weary force against an elite one, Yan Fei’s defeat was not unjust.

Through Yan Fei’s public high-stakes gambling with Little Demon, the news of Yan Fei appearing on Dream Island was quickly spread. The United States of America and the other four countries received this news and realized their previous intelligence analysis was wrong; Yan Fei did not perish on Mount Kilimanjaro. Now that Yan Fei has returned to Dream Island, and Dream Island is a stronghold, their plan to occupy Dream Island will thoroughly fail. Realizing this unfavorable reality, the armies of the four allied countries suddenly halted their mobilization.

Through the global Dream Island Satellite Network, Yan Fei soon knew about the intelligence that the four allied armies had halted. Although the enemy retreated, Yan Fei did not intend to let them off easily. Under Yan Fei’s instruction, Lu Pingping sent out hard-worded negotiation letters to the four countries that were spreading slander against Dream Island and Yan Fei through the media, expressing strong displeasure over Western countries’ defaming of Dream Island and Yan Fei and proposing significant compensation demands.

The Western countries led by the United States of America flatly refused Lu Pingping’s compensation demands. In their view, the ones tarnishing Dream Island and Yan Fei were their domestic media, not their governments. In their countries, the media have the freedom to question every matter, that is the media’s reporting freedom, hence Dream Island has no right to ask for compensation from these countries. Moreover, they have stopped smearing Dream Island and Yan Fei, which should give Yan Fei face, why would they compensate Dream Island further?

After Lu Pingping’s negotiation letter was ignored by those countries, Yan Fei was very unhappy. So that night, he controlled the Space-based Weapon Launch Platform in outer space and launched four anti-satellite missiles at the lower earth-orbiting path, taking down the most important military communication satellite of these four countries, causing their military communications to temporarily be in disarray.

After having a military satellite shot down by Dream Island, these four countries became panic-stricken; they never expected Dream Island to actually attack them because of a media defamation action. Realizing the severity of the issue, they promptly dispatched officials from their Dream Island institutions hoping to meet Yan Fei. However, Yan Fei had entered a deep sleep, mending his spiritual injuries, and would not meet them, handing the authority to handle the matter over to Lu Pingping.

Lu Pingping previously suffered grievances from the condemnation and pressure from the media in these countries, so the main purpose of Yan Fei’s action this time was to restore face for Lu Pingping. The representatives of these countries found Lu Pingping again, requesting negotiations with Dream Island. However, Lu Pingping wouldn’t reconcile so easily, instead proposing a much higher compensation scheme and stating if they don’t get what they want, Dream Island would launch a second wave of attacks on military satellites.

Before Dream Island’s rise, Western countries always conducted attacks or sanctions against other countries, but after Dream Island emerged and forged a bloody path relying on its strength, the situation completely reversed. Now it’s Dream Island issuing threats and sanctions against other countries. This is because Dream Island holds an absolute advantage in space, especially with Dream Island’s three Space-Based Weapon Launch Platforms, posing a substantial threat to these Western countries.

Dream Island previously shot down all of the United States’ satellites, although the United States continually launched new satellites to replenish, it’s been years, and their satellite count hasn’t reached half of the previous amount. Realizing they are not Dream Island’s match in space, these countries could only comply again, dispatching personnel to visit Lu Pingping, hoping to peacefully resolve the matter.

Because these countries found the protective shields of Dream Island’s three Space-Based Weapon Launch Platforms on the geosynchronous satellite orbit have opened again, it looked like they might launch a second wave of attacks at any time. These countries dared not take risks, submitting completely under Dream Island’s might. After all, Yan Fei and Dream Island are not seasoned politicians; they act impulsively, and once they issue attack orders, their side will lose more satellites.

In the second negotiation, Lu Pingping scolded the representatives of these countries and then proposed each country compensate Dream Island one hundred billion US Dollars. Although Dream Island asked for a hundred billion US Dollars in compensation, they don’t accept US Dollars, so the compensation would be used for procurement within these countries, requiring them to transport the purchased goods to Dream Island.

Not mentioning that each country has to compensate Dream Island one hundred billion US Dollars, just by Lu Pingping presenting a form and engaging in forced buying and selling, deliberately lowering the procurement price of materials within the countries, Dream Island secured at least four hundred billion US Dollars. In face of Lu Pingping’s arrogant demeanor, the representatives of these countries could only silently endure. Through this extortion, Lu Pingping brought six hundred billion US Dollar returns to Dream Island and vented long-chested grievances.

These countries did not willingly submit, but reality forced them to. If both sides were to engage in full-scale warfare, even under the premise of launching nuclear weapons, these four countries combined still held hope of defeating Dream Island. But if nuclear weapons were not used, and both sides only fought with conventional weapons, these four countries combined would still be no match for Dream Island.

Originally, the domestic situation in these four countries wasn’t good, all considering retrieving some losses from Dream Island, yet unexpectedly, before this action even started, they had already suffered more losses. The continuous loss of blood made their domestic situations chaotic. In urgent need of recovering strength, they had no choice but to focus attention elsewhere, hoping to use other methods to mitigate their economic losses.
