Chapter 832: Players Smashing (2)
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Except for some Lord of Glory who still retained their territories, there were quite a few players who had become free men after losing their territories. Some of them relied on their own strength to make a living by taking on some commissions, while others engaged in business.
But there were always some players who were neither good at fighting nor knew how to do business and could only make a living by doing various odd jobs.
They were just like this, relying on commissions and tasks that didn’t involve fighting to support themselves as a small group. They took a boat from the Northern Continent to the world-famous New Moon Islands to see if there were any money-making opportunities.
Due to limited funds, they could only squeeze into such small houses temporarily.
“I see that many players like us have also inquired. When there really is a shortage of people, they may consider us,” said the middle-aged man, clapping his hands.
“If you’re willing, I’ll go and ask, even if it means facing it head-on.”
The others looked at each other, and the female player who had initially criticized raised her eyebrows and said, “Of course, we must ask. Without work, we will starve to death, and I don’t want to keep sweating in this small house all the time!”
Hearing this, others also chimed in, “Let’s ask! It won’t hurt to ask”
The middle-aged man nodded, then quickly rose from his seat and dashed out of the house toward the City Hall in the harbor area. Drawing on the skills he had perfected through years of experience on Earth, he deftly maneuvered through the crowd and approached the staff.
“Hello, do you need people to build railway tracks and ports?”
The staff quickly realized that he was a Lord of Glory. Then, he recalled what Wilus had ordered him to do so.
“Yes, we do… Is it just you?”
“I have a dozen or so with me, all young and capable!”
“I see… Do you have any relevant experience or skills? Such as engineering supervision, surveying, planning, and the like,” the staff asked, using the terminology as instructed by Wilus.
The middle-aged man’s expression brightened. He had been a project manager for several major projects on Earth, so this was definitely a professional match.
“I have been in charge of several major projects before, including ports… The young people with me are all civil engineers… Anyway, they are all related to construction sites and such. I guarantee that we can complete the tasks!”
“Alright, then we’ll assign a part of the third commercial port project to you. You can hire external workers, but you must complete it within the deadline… Follow me, and I’ll give you detailed drawings and construction plans.”
Coming out of City Hall, the middle-aged man clenched several scrolls of books tightly and ran back to the residence with all his might.
With a bang, he kicked open the door, startling everyone inside.
“Don’t be so forceful, boss! This is a rented house. If you break the door, we’ll have to pay for it!”
“Why care about such a small amount of money?” the middle-aged man exclaimed excitedly, holding up the drawings in his hand. “City Hall has assigned us a part of the project, and good days are coming!”
Everyone was surprised and cheered.
Suddenly, the female player asked, “So what exactly are we going to do?”
“Um, probably just repairing the port.”
Everyone was surprised again.
Damn it, wasn’t this the job they did on Earth?
Good news: There’s work to do, so they won’t starve.
Bad news: They came to another world from Earth just to continue working.
Allowing players to participate in the construction of the New Moon Islands was also a choice to utilize talent and supplement the labor force. Moreover, players excel in flexibility and adaptability compared to indigenous laborers.
In general construction work, players were slightly better than the residents of the Crown of the Ocean, especially in aspects like housing construction planning. From the construction of the Black Gold District in Maple City, it could be seen that players had some talent in this regard.
The construction of underwater settlements required a large amount of manpower, and the construction of the New Moon Islands could not stop. Therefore, hiring players was also a good choice.
Moreover, Ji Chen began to consider whether to absorb some players into the Crown of the Ocean. This was not like a player guild, but rather a form of incorporation into the citizens.
In the past, he did not consider absorbing players because of the uncertainty and risks involved.
But now, as Ji Chen is about to ascend to the position of a deity, he already has the ability to completely convince and subdue players. Therefore, this idea also arises.
In fact, in other places, players have long been incorporated by players. Some players with leadership abilities and territories, when they couldn’t find suitable indigenous talents, often absorbed players without territories as their subjects.
Players were professionals from various industries on Earth, with skills more or less related to land management. Although not every player absorbed has great talents, they were at least much better than the indigenous people who are illiterate.
Some powerful territories accelerated their development in the early stages by absorbing a large number of other players, forming a structure similar to a corporation.
Territories like the Crown of the Ocean, which had indigenous talent joining in the early and middle stages, were rare.
Just as many players were delighted to receive commissions from the City Hall of the Crown of the Ocean.
In the distant southern continent.
With the help of various divine army forces such as the Desert Divine Lineage, players and the Desert Alliance finally defeated the Greedy Legion, expelling them to the central region and reclaiming vast lands in the north.
Although these lands had been plagued by demons for a long time, being able to reclaim so much land still cheered them up.
Especially the local Desert Alliance members were extremely excited, as this meant they had entered the counteroffensive phase.
The millions-strong Desert Alliance split into several corps and launched attacks from three directions towards the defeated Greedy Legion.
They were greatly encouraged and confident by the appearance of divine army forces like the Desert Scorpions, Desert Mummies, and Desert Barbarians, which had only appeared in legendary stories.
As if the desert gods were fighting alongside them.
With the blessing of faith, the highly religious atmosphere of the Desert Coalition’s combat power directly skyrocketed.
Fanatical hymns pervaded every corner of the desert.
The Greed Lord completely lost his composure and anxiously said to the commander of the evil divine army forces in front of him,
“You must stop those orderly divine army forces, otherwise everything I’ve arranged in the southern continent will be destroyed. If the lords blame you later, you won’t be able to escape the blame!”
Listening to the Greedy Lord’s somewhat reproachful words, the commander of the Dark Divine Army also had an unpleasant expression. If it were ordinary beings, he would have killed them directly long ago. However, as one of the many chess pieces arranged by numerous dark gods in the main world, his status was not low, and he couldn’t kill casually.
He said with a sullen face, “You don’t need to tell us; naturally, we will stop those orderly divine army bastards. What you need to do is to stop the armies of the orderly faction.”
The Greed Lord roared, “If you hadn’t shown up unexpectedly, I would have taken over the entire southern continent by now. And if the Orderly Divine Army forces hadn’t suddenly appeared, Darius wouldn’t have suffered such a humiliating defeat. We would have conquered the eastern continent ages ago!
If you hadn’t besieged various orderly divine nations, how could they interfere with the progress of the main world war?”
The gaze of the Dark Commander became even more sinister. “This is all because of the five dark gods such as the Shadow Deity. They forcibly entered the main world and attempted to kill a human, not only failing to kill him but also losing some of their power.
The Goddess of Light and her followers in the Bright Divine Lineage noticed this, and they successfully broke through the blockade using it as a breakthrough point, allowing the Light Divine Army to rush to the battlefield of the eastern continent in time. Otherwise, the eastern continent would have fallen long ago!”
The Greed Lord was stunned, and suddenly a complex emotion surged in his heart.
Needless to say, this so-called human must be the Glory Lord named Ji Chen.
This name had gradually become their nightmare. One powerful demon lord fell at his feet, three demon legions were annihilated by him, and even the five dark gods suffered losses in front of him.
Damn it!
Is there a way for them to deal with him?!
The Dark Commander changed the subject.
“It’s okay; many dark gods have noticed that human. His ultimate fate is definitely destruction!”
Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope reignited in the Greed Lord’s eyes..
