Ji Chen looked at the elevated waters of the highland. The massive waves from earlier not only wiped out the enemies but also swept away I_Love_Black_Stockings’ dock, and most of the buildings on the shore were also washed away.
As a result, the entire territory was left with only half of the Lord Manor burned, a few military recruitment camps, and a few houses situated on higher ground.
“The territory might need to be rebuilt from scratch,” Ji Chen remarked.
l_Love_Black_Stockings remained unfazed and waved it off. “It’s nothing serious. I can start anew. Besides, the resources and population from those defeated players are enough to build a new territory.”
After returning to the ship with the army, Ji Chen rested for one night and the next day, he once again arrived at l_Love_Black_Stockings’ territory.
At this moment, the place was in a state of disorder. The army was busy clearing the corpses, debris of buildings, mud, and various seafood washed ashore by the huge waves.
On the other side, I_Love_Black_Stockings was directing the people to set up temporary tents for shelter.
Seeing Ji Chen coming over, l_Love_Black_Stockings hurriedly walked towards him, taking long strides with her legs.
“Big Boss Islander, you’re here? Did you rest well last night?”
“Fairly well,” Ji Chen replied casually, observing the bustling scene around him.
“That’s right. Last night, I had my people collect the resources and population from those players. For now, we’ll use tents for a few days and then rebuild the houses once the ground is cleared,” I_Love_Black_Stockings said with a smile, clearly satisfied with the wealth obtained from those players.
Ji Chen nodded and continued to ask, “How did it go with gathering other players as I instructed yesterday?”
“I’ve informed them, but it’ll take some time for players from other parts of the island to arrive here.” I_Love_Biack_Stockings hesitated/ “I’m not sure if they will come, though.”
“The players on the island don’t get along well, and they might think I’m tricking them into a trap. They could choose to ignore the invitation.”
“So, Big Boss, if you can, it’s better to make a post on the forum.”
Upon hearing this, Ji Chen felt it made sense.
So, he opened the post about purchasing military recruitment camp cores and thought that all this effort seemed a bit excessive just for buying a few of them.
He gave it a thought and edited a message: “I’m on King Kong Island, and I’m buying various treasures, special and rare resources, military recruitment camp cores, and blueprint designs for buildings. Gold coins accepted for transactions.”
He sent the message and pinned it to the top of the forum.
Soon, a flood of responses came in.
“Buying things? I’m from the 358th Regiment, ahem, I, King Kong Island’s number one handsome guy, will surely lend a hand!”
“King Kong Island? Big Boss Islander is on King Kong Island? No, 1 have to go see for myself and see what the Big Boss looks like.”
“I’m finding someone to team up! Contact me and let’s meet up!”
Seeing the enthusiastic responses from the silly netizens, Ji Chen felt somewhat relieved.
It would have been awkward if he had received little or no response after making such a post, especially now that he had gained some popularity as an idol.
However, he needed to decide on a location for the trade.
Initially, he thought of conducting it in I_Love_Black_Stockings’ territory, but now that most of her land had been destroyed, it wouldn’t be suitable.
Ji Chen looked around and fixed his gaze on the New Moon, anchored on the sea.
“Doesn’t those Film and Television on Earth often hold trade fairs and auctions on cruise ships?
The New Moon has a large tonnage and spacious interior, and even accommodating thousands of people is just a piece of cake, making it a high-profile venue for trading.
After some thought, Ji Chen made up his mind.
He added a sentence to the post: “The trading location is on the New Moon, anchored on the south side of the nearby sea.”
After pinning the post, he closed the forum and followed I_Love_Black_Stockings to nearby natural attractions.
Upon seeing Ji Chen’s message in the thread, many of the silly netizens also chimed in.
“The New Moon? Sounds like the name of a ship. But is a ship too small for a trade fair?”
“Are you dumb? How could Big Boss Islander’s ship be small? Don’t mistake it for your little fishing boat?”
“That’s it, I’ll dress up tomorrow, and if the big boss takes a liking to me then… hehe.”
“Aren’t you a guy? Put on some pants! But 1 also have some spare resources right now. I can trade with the Big Boss if he’s interested…”
“It looks like a lot of people will attend this trade fair. Count me in for the fun!”
“With all of you gathering like this, are we going for an offline
Player-to-Player trade? I’m joining in (confident voice)!”
King Kong Island players who followed the thread expressed their intentions to come and see what was going on.
They were curious about the famous Big Boss Islander, well-known on the forums.
Additionally, players realized that with so many people gathering, it could be a fantastic opportunity to exchange resources with each other.
Furthermore, being on the territory of this powerful Big Boss, they didn’t need to worry much about enemy attacks or vendettas.
Unaware of how his two sentences in the post had sparked a magical response, Ji Chen had managed to attract many more players than he had anticipated.
At this moment, Ji Chen and the others were led by l_Love_Black_Stockings into a side forest, walking for several hundred meters until they reached a waterfall.
The waterfail cascaded down from a cliff tens of meters high, resembling a silver-white silk, falling into a pool at the bottom.
The sound of water rushing against rocks, combined with the beautiful surroundings, instantly made people feel refreshed and their moods lifted..
