Beiqi, Liuli Coast.
The Mid-Autumn Festival event ended, and the players' lives returned to normal.
Explorers, navigators, brick-moving players, lifestyle players, and so on … Every player had a different path in the game as they continued their exciting life in the Other World.
On this day, in the shallow waters of Beiqi's Liuli Sea, a head slowly surfaced from the bottom of the water.
He looked around, first checking the warships and ships docked at the edge of the sea, then looking at the players passing by on the shore. After a moment of contemplation, he began to swim toward the shore.
As he neared the shore, his body slowly floated out of the water, the scales on his body reflecting a dazzling radiance under the sun. His body gradually shrunk, and in the blink of an eye, he was in human form, and looked no different from the Players.
Even if one looked closely, they would not be able to see any flaws.
Looking at his own reflection in the water, Oatmeal grinned in satisfaction.
In fact, he had been lurking around this area for several days. His purpose here was to help the Netherworld Devour Sea branch investigate the Player Clan.
As for the reason, it was simple.
Recently, an extremely important batch of resources was hijacked after being transported to the Kuilong Ocean. The higher-ups of the Devouring Netherworld branch were furious and sent a large number of people to investigate the matter.
However, the result was obvious.
According to the description of the merchants on the merchant ship, the Shark Bite Chamber of Commerce had been blinded by greed. However, another force had appeared afterward, causing the Shark Bite Chamber of Commerce to fall short of success at the last moment. Even their president, Black Shark, had died in the battle.
Huang Quan's Devour branch didn't completely believe this and instead carefully investigated the area where the naval battle took place.
However, it turned out that the merchants on the merchant ships were not lying.
The wreckage of the battleship at the bottom of the sea was proof. At the same time, there were many battleships from the Mu Te fleet. It was enough to show how intense the battle was.
While the higher-ups of the Yellow Springs Devouring Sea Branch were shocked by Shark Bite Chamber of Commerce's betrayal, they were also extremely angry.
The prestige of the Underworld Merchant Guild was not to be challenged. This was not just a saying.
Although the Shark Bite Chamber of Commerce had been destroyed in this battle, there was still one "thief" who hadn't received the punishment he deserved.
Later, in a meeting of the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce, someone proposed to annihilate the Player Clan in a thunderous manner, and many agreed. However, at this time, someone stood up and suggested that they should first investigate the Player Clan's background before making a decision.
For this reason, he expressed his opinion and convinced everyone in the meeting.
First of all, the Player Clan's idea of plundering merchant ships was fundamentally different from the Shark Bite Chamber of Commerce.
The Shark Bite Merchant Union had done this secretly and was prepared to erase all clues. He had never thought of becoming enemies with the Netherworld Merchant Union because he didn't dare and knew that the Netherworld Merchant Union was too powerful for him to contend with!
However, the Player Clan was very strange. It was practically a robbery on the surface. It was as if they were not worried about being discovered by the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce!
Arrogance could no longer be used to describe him.
Most importantly, this wasn't the first time this had happened!
Previously, the Player Clan had done the same and successfully overturned the war chamber of commerce, Smoke Dragon.
Therefore, in his opinion, there might be some unspeakable conspiracy behind the repeated provocations!
In order to convince everyone present, this person even took out a piece of information that he had recently obtained from an investigation.
From this, he learned that the Player Clan was not a sea power. Their main power was rooted on land, and they had only recently joined the struggle for supremacy in the sea. Although the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce was very powerful in the sea, their control over the land was very limited.
Therefore, before exterminating the Player Clan, it was best to investigate it thoroughly!
His reasoning convinced everyone present. After listening to his analysis, the upper echelons of the Chamber of Commerce also felt that the Player Clan was indeed as strange as what this person had said.
It had been a long time since a power dared to openly challenge the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, they subconsciously thought that the Player Clan must have someone backing them to be so fearless.
This was because the forces that dared to challenge the ruling position of the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce were the same. They were either extremely powerful themselves or had the support of other superpowers. However, in the end, none of them succeeded. The Netherworld Chamber of Commerce's dynasty was still stable.
After making the decision, Huang went to the Chamber of Commerce to find the Illusion Fish Clan, a very famous bounty team in the Devouring Sea. He gave them a batch of resources as remuneration and asked them to secretly investigate the Player Clan.
As this was a commission from the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce, the Illusion Fish Clan attached great importance to it.
Although the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce had never interfered in the power struggle of the major sea regions and focused all their attention on the struggle of the central sea region. However, the Netherworld Chamber of Commerce controlled the trade of all the sea regions. Their powerful strength was unquestionable.
Therefore, the Illusion Fish Clan did not dare to be negligent. They immediately sent Yan Mai, who had the most potential and was the most likely to become the next clan leader, to investigate this matter.
…
After a few days of observation, Yan Mai had confirmed the appearance and characteristics of the Player Clan. He was finally ready to take action.
After successfully transforming, Yan Mai arrived at the Liuli Coast. He then walked toward the Land of Beiqi.
His current goal was to go to the central main city of the Player Clan, which was the Mansion of the Dead.
Basically, one could tell the exact strength of a force by looking at the central main city of the force. Yan Mai was very experienced in this.
As he walked along the way, it was just as he expected. With the help of the Racial Talent, Transformation, although he encountered many players along the way who were walking toward the Liuli Coast, no one noticed anything different about him.
They just brushed past each other. Yan Mai was a little nervous at first, but he soon relaxed.
At this moment, Yan Mai was very proud of himself.
With the help of the Racial Talent, he had completed the previous infiltration missions with ease. He was not discovered until the end. He felt that it would be the same this time. There was no problem at all!
With a joyful mood, Yan Mai kept walking toward the Mansion of the Dead.
As for where the Mansion of the Dead was, there was no need to ask for directions. With so many players coming from that direction, it was obvious at a glance.
As the number of players he encountered increased, Yan Mai was sure that his disguise was impeccable.
Moreover, he did not need to steal anything from the main city of the Player Clan for this investigation. He also did not need to get in touch with the higher-ups of the Player Clan. All he needed to do was to walk around the main city and roughly assess the strength of the Player Clan.
With this layer of disguise, the difficulty of such a mission was too easy for him.
But soon, he did not think so.
This was because he did not expect that the players had an almost bug-level ability: Analysis.
Although the players would not use this ability on other players without special circumstances, there were always exceptions.
There was such a group of players who liked to go around and check the information of other players' equipment. They would record and calculate some things, then make it into a guide and post it on the forum.
On the way to the Mansion of the Dead, Yan Mai happened to meet such a player who was collecting data along the way.
When he saw Yan Mai, the player's expression gradually became very interesting.
However, after discovering that Yan Mai's strength had reached the peak of the Ghost King Realm, he did not attack. Instead, he took a few screenshots and posted them on the forum to gain some popularity!
…
At this time, in the forum, a post made by a player attracted the attention of many people.
[I met a "player" on the way just now. I subconsciously opened an analysis to see the information. Guess what I found? (laughing emoji)]

[Yan Mai (Ghost King Peak)]:
Character details: Member of the Phantom Fish Bounty Group, the top force in the Devouring Sea, a strong competitor for the next clan leader of the Phantom Fish Clan. Proficient in the clan's innate ability "Transmogrify", has completed several missions that were considered impossible by the outside world, and is known as the most promising successor of the new generation of the Phantom Fish Clan!
Character status: Normal
…
Seeing this post, the players on the forum were suddenly in a heated discussion.
Not only were the players not afraid of the arrival of such an intruder, but they were also a little excited.
Watermelon _ Taro: "Come, come, come. Let's bet on the purpose of this person's visit. Bet that he's here for sightseeing: 1: 10. It's time to make money. Hurry up and place your soul coins. (laughing emoji)"
Xueli _ The _ Strongest: "Do you want to give him a surprise? I'm in the city now. How about I go out and stab him in the back? (laughing emoji)"
Assassin _ Creed: "Upstairs, please bring a team of assassins and sneak over, then jump out together to scare him to death. (laughing emoji)"
Peppa _ Boar: "Hurry up and make arrangements for him. This guy has bad intentions. He's definitely here to cause trouble!!!"
Crayon _ Shin-chan: "It's so boring to kill him directly. Let him enter the city. Since he's transmogrified, there's no doubt that he's a spy. So let him enter the city. When the time comes, close the door and let him struggle inside, we'll surround him when he thinks that he's got the information he wants and that his mission has been completed. Then, we'll give him a surprise, then we'll make him despair and deal a mental blow. (laughing emoji) "
A _ Large _ Wolfdog replied to Crayon _ Shin-chan: "Shameless, too shameless!"
Crayon _ Shin-chan replied to A _ Large _ Wolfdog: "Patting the dog's head with a smile. We're talking among the Player Clan. Why are you butting in? Have you forgotten what race you're from after spending so much time with the Player Clan? (Neptune's Twitter.jpg) "
Two _ Tigers: "Interesting. Quick, let him enter the city. I want to see what this guy is up to. (Expectant eyes.jpg)"
…
As the players discussed, more and more players learned that such a spy was approaching the Mansion of the Dead.
At this moment, the players were discussing how to give this spy a "big surprise."
Oats, who was still walking toward the Mansion of the Dead, had no idea that he had been clearly arranged by the players before he even reached his destination.
As he walked, Oats suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Because many players who passed by would steal a glance at him, and then an inexplicable smile would appear on their faces.
Oats was sure that this was not the custom and characteristic of the Player Clan.
Because the Player Clan members he met on the way before weren't like this, and many of them didn't even look at him.
At this moment, he inexplicably felt a little strange.
Oats didn't think that he had exposed himself.
Because until now, he hadn't communicated with any players. From the outside, he looked like a normal player, and he was full of confidence in his ability to disguise himself.
Back then, even a late-stage Ghost Emperor powerhouse couldn't see through his disguise, let alone the Player Clan!
However, there was something that Oats didn't know.
These "passing" players were purely driven by curiosity to rush over from the Mansion of the Dead.
They just wanted to take a closer look at him. Their mentality was like watching a monkey.
