Divine Presence Battle Team Headquarters. The giant screen on the wall is displaying the live broadcast of Chun's street parade.

The Young Master just adjusted to the time difference and woke up, feeling a bit confused: "What's going on here?"

The team members are obviously also confused: "Not sure yet..."

This kind of thing must be the work of the Ten Lords. The Young Master is too lazy to ask and too annoyed to see: "Turn it off, don't let me see this idiot."

"Understood." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Then the Hell Mining Corps reports good news: "Young Master, last night's prison riot succeeded with the cooperation of Mr. Xiaoshan and the Shadow Demon-possessed prisoners breaking out of jail, currently heading towards the Demon Realm!"

The Young Master is somewhat satisfied: "Not bad, make sure Mr. Xiaoshan successfully reaches the Demon Realm."

The Hell Corps continues to report: "Silver City is launching a monster siege event, and our entire Hell Miners Corps has received extra rewards."

The Young Master is somewhat gratified: "Keep up the effort."

After the good news is reported, Peeping Immortal reluctantly reports the not-so-good news: "Young Master, the Broken Bottle Commerce Association just returned to port, and then 100 people prepared a large number of camping backpacks and went out the west gate. I suspect they might be heading to Iron Flame Village."

The Young Master immediately became tense: "100 people? Is this the Royal Family's vanguard to attack our Iron Flame Village?"

Peeping said: "It's very possible, according to undercover reports, the South Jungle Mine Area has eliminated the most challenging Ancient Giant Python, and taking over the mine may just be within one or two days. The Royal Family might have freed up forces for actions."

Sakamaru Saito said: "Although they are 10 levels higher than us, our Warrior Corps has over 1,000 people, and our main combat skills are at expert level. We can ambush them halfway and ensure they don't reach our village."

The Young Master asked: "How do you handle the several thousand Royal Family members behind them?"

Sakamaru said: "Pause digging the canal, muster the strength of 100,000 Curry at eleven key points to dig trenches and build strongholds, they won't outlast us!"

The Young Master said solemnly: "Then arrange it as such!"

Normally, if the Divine Team successfully stationed in Iron Flame Village, then the players defending the village who died would resurrect in the village, while the attackers would only resurrect 100 kilometers away in the main city, a huge advantage for defense. But the problem is they're not stationed yet! A little more effort should make it possible, but to coordinate with Sariel's three monster siege actions, a lot of levels and working hours were spent, resulting in no success until now...

The Young Master helplessly asked Peeping: "Peeping Tom, any task progress in the city?"

Peeping said: "Young Master, currently Little Amy's fame is very high, my goodwill with her has further improved. Her next target is to network with all the city's nobles and enter high society, which aligns with Vivian's goal. I plan to personally accomplish this, supporting them both to enter high society. The exploration line of the first generation Pirate King has been handed over to Okamoto-kun, and the exploration line of the Ugly Emperor to Murayama Kun."

The so-called "task line transfer" is certainly not a functionality setup in the game, but rather having Okamoto and Murayama redo the tasks Peeping did, triggering the same storyline events, known as "cutting in", which means unavoidable progress time loss.

The Young Master, though dissatisfied, is also helpless: "Do your best!"

At this time, Sea Merchant Association President Sakamaru Noto reported: "Young Master, latest news, the Fishing group's ace Fishing Immortal's small boat entered Wind Howling Fjord, with major unexpected discoveries!"

The Young Master forcibly revitalized his spirit: "Switch the broadcast!"

The giant screen immediately displayed a live broadcast, under the high winds and waves of a cliff, two small boats are tied to a rock column.

Fishing Immortal reports: "Reporting to the Young Master, last night I encountered pursuit from China's fishing team, exerted all efforts to escape to the canyon and shook them off, discovered in daylight a wooden boat tied here with food that expired and turned moldy for over ten days, and this peculiar fishing rod!"

The live camera zooms in on the fishing rod, showing clearly 6 fishing rods tied together, and the 6 fishing lines are also tied in a rather exquisite weaving style.

The Young Master was astonished: "Was this left by a player or NPC?"

Fishing Immortal displayed the fishing rod attributes: "Here each fishing rod has a Luck +1 attribute, and they are all products from 30 years ago, over ten days ago, that is less than a few days into the game's launch, it can't be players getting these things, especially shouldn't have this technique to tie these lines, this must be an NPC! This small boat's origin must be Black Iron City."

Upon hearing Black Iron City, the Young Master's whole body trembled: "Was this left by Chun? Remember over ten days ago, Chun had an experience of rowing out to sea?"

Sakamaru reminded: "But he was blown away by the Mist Island Count's Treasure Hunting Ship at sea, we even inspected the bombardment site and found a large amount of fragmented wood."

Fishing Immortal also said: "To safely enter here requires at least expert level sailing technique and extremely good luck, I don't believe Chun had this ability a few days into the game's launch."

The Young Master finally came back to his senses: "What does this discovery imply?"

Fishing Immortal said: "According to the game background introduction, the initial New World was filled with powerful Sea Monsters, although Wind Howling Fjord is perilous, it has no Sea Monsters, rather, it's the only relatively safe route, there's also the maintenance supply station inside from back then. Only when the Pioneer Corps cleared the Sea Monsters around to open safe routes did this fjord and its supply station get abandoned..."

"Now, a specific Black Iron City NPC tied the boat here over ten days ago, must be because there are remnants of a sunken treasure nearby. But maybe due to some reason, he met misfortune, or it might really be a plot kill—so, this boat and fishing rod are the most important clues, as long as I drag this boat with this bundle of fishing rods back to the city to find clues, I might be able to locate the treasures."

The Young Master was energized: "Sunken treasure? But the plot background didn't mention sunken treasures here?"

Fishing Immortal said: "In my view, the less it's mentioned, the more it might be covering up reality. Otherwise, everyone would know there's sunken treasure here, then NPCs would all come treasure hunting!"

The Young Master was thrilled: "Then hurry up and drag the boat back!"

Fishing Immortal sighed: "My small boat made it here by sheer luck, fundamentally incapable of dragging another small boat out. Even if I dragged it out, very likely I'd encounter China's fishing team, so urgently need Young Master's assistance, I can only wait for rescue here!"

The Young Master said solemnly: "Sakamaru, your Sea Merchants Association must mobilize fully, be sure to find a way to get the Fishing Lord out!"

Sakamaru's head tingled: "Young Master, this is not a sea PK, having more boats is useless, as long as the sailing technique is not there, sending more is still doom!"

The Young Master got angry: "NPС knows to bind fishing rods in a bundle, can't you line up boats in a row? I refuse to believe lining them up won't withstand the winds and waves there!"

Sakamaru was enlightened: "Young Master, you truly are wise!"

Fishing Immortal was excited: "I think it's completely feasible!"

Peeping Immortal felt his limelight was about to be stolen by Fishing Immortal, quickly started applauding: "Young Master is truly exceptional! Young Master is supreme!"

The command center immediately stood up to applaud: "Young Master is truly exceptional!"

The Young Master finally felt relieved: "Very well, everyone, each of your tasks is important, go all out!"
