Ten thousand feet in the Shrimp World No. 2's measurement unit of the mainlanders was approximately equivalent to 1,000 kilometers on Earth. In the Hellfire sea region where danger lurked everywhere, sailing such a long distance with just a simple 'nautical chart' was by no means a 'trivial matter' to a seasoned navigator no matter how experienced he was.
However, at this moment, in the face of the powerful Wizard Li tribal conqueror, the old navigators had no right to bargain at all. When the airship slowly took them to the sky to the Wizard Li's rented place to look at the nautical chart, and when their families and merchant sailors were also taken away from the harbor, Zhang Lisheng breathed a long sigh of relief and voiced out his true thoughts. "Tugra, it's impossible for all of these people to succeed.
However, if seven senior navigators try their best to open up the route, there's at least two to three of them who will succeed according to the probability.
Even though the area of the islands closest to us is only one-third of the Wizard Li Island, it's adjacent to more than ten small and medium-sized islands of similar size. It'll be easy for us to conquer any of them as a frontier base and expand to the surrounding area. At the very least, we don't have to worry about sailing.
By the time we've conquered all of the islands, the tribe's strength will increase by at least seven to eight times. By that time, even if there's a huge loss when we continue to explore the new route, the Wizard Li will still be able to bear it.
All of these navigators are the keys that will allow us to safely open the 'Gate of Glory.' Even if something happens to them, their families must be well taken care of, understand? "
"Yes, Great Conqueror! The families of these navigators will become the masters of the new town. No Wizard Li tribesmen will dare to offend their dignity, wealth, and rights!" The Wizard Li headman replied respectfully.
"Very well, this mainlander town must be perfect in all aspects. In this way, when the Wizard Li conquers the entire Hellfire sea region and expands to the mainland, it'll play a huge 'catalytic' role.
However, this matter must never be disclosed to those 'old foxes' who have gone through storms and waves. Otherwise, they're likely to choose to sacrifice their lives when they're navigating and deliberately lead our iron ship to a desperate situation.
The hatred between civilizations and races is sometimes irrational. It's blatantly soaked in each other's bones and blood, "Zhang Lisheng added.
"Your wisdom is really admirable, Great Conqueror!" Tugra said as he buried his head on the ground in deep thought.
"Tugra, it's amazing that you can find so many 'good' praises in the limited Hellfire language and put them on me.
If we were to explore the sea route, the speed would definitely not be very fast. In addition to the preparatory work, if we wanted to know the result, we would have to wait for the sun to rise and set thirty to forty times. I can't stand such a long wait. " Zhang Lisheng joked with the Wizard Li headman. After contemplating for a while, he shifted his gaze to the Wizard Li chief craftsman. "Aruba, continue to build the iron steamship with all your might during this period of time.
This kind of navigational weapon is indispensable in battles between islands. Do you know that? "
As he spoke, the young man's mouth began to crack open and his ears elongated. A thin layer of mist gathered around his body. Seeing that the tribal Conqueror was about to leave, Aruba hurriedly replied, "I understand, great Conqueror! I'll definitely build more iron ships for the tribe!
However, I found many powerful 'war machines' in the mainland fleet that you captured not long ago. For this reason, I hope that you can allow me to separate a small part of the 'furnace' to study and imitate these weapons. "
"Powerful weapons? Those mainlanders did not use any weapons worth mentioning when I transformed into the Eye Beast King. However, as long as it doesn't delay the serious matters, you're free to do whatever research you want, Aruba. Just do it.
Tugra, don't forget to urge those navigators to set off as soon as possible. Charlot, who looks the thinnest among them, can be your communication bridge.
I'll come back when the weather turns warm and let the Wizard Li warriors prepare for war. I have a hunch that this delayed 'conquest' will be a fierce battle. " When his last sentence left his mouth, Zhang Lisheng, who was already tightly wrapped in thick fog, floated up to the sky under the worship of countless Hellfire tribesmen and flew towards the world's gate connecting the Shrimp World No. 2 and Earth.
After crossing the barrier between the ocean and the world, the young man quietly landed on the roof of his factory office building on the outskirts of New York in the cold winter hurricane after more than 40 minutes. After transforming his transformation power from wyrmdragon to lizard, he nihilated his body and landed in his spacious office.
After taking a hot bath as usual and putting on a clean and decent new suit, Zhang Lisheng looked out of the window at the weather that had turned into a rainstorm and walked to the refrigerator to take a can of frozen Coke. As he opened it, he strolled to the desk and sat down before taking out his mobile phone from the drawer.
There were more than a hundred messages and missed calls. The young man swiped the screen to take a look and dialed his mother's number first. The first sentence he said was an apology, "Mom, I'm sorry. I've been so busy in the foreign world that I can't contact Earth. I didn't go home for Christmas and New Year's, and I didn't even write a greeting card or a phone. It's really wrong of me …"
"It's alright, baby. It's nothing. I already knew that I have a son who is different from others three years ago, so I've long been prepared for this day," Lili said gently on the phone. "I just hope that you can pay attention to your health no matter how busy you are. Work is not the only important thing in a person's life, rest, exercise …"
Listening to his mother's cliche nagging, Zhang Lisheng could not stop humming. However, his hand had already turned on the computer. At the same time when the system was booted up, he heard Lili suddenly change the topic and asked, "Where are you now, baby?"
"The factory office on the outskirts of New York. What's the matter, mom?"
"I do have something to talk to you face to face, baby," Lili said after a moment of silence.
"Oh, do we need to talk face to face? In that case, I'll go home right away," Zhang Lisheng replied and swiftly turned off the computer.
"No, no, I don't know what the weather is like in the suburbs, but it's raining heavily in New York City right now and I'm not at home. Let's meet again tomorrow at noon, baby. I'll make beef pancakes for you and we'll talk at lunch."
"Alright then," Zhang Lisheng pondered for a while and asked, "But can't we talk on the phone?"
"Baby, this is an important matter. I want to see your face and talk to you face to face," Lili said solemnly.
"You rarely talk to me in such a tone, mom. I'm a little nervous now."
"Don't be nervous, baby. It's not a bad thing. It's just about a choice. Oh, my phone is running out of battery, so I'll hang up first. See you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, mom …" Before Zhang Lisheng could finish his words, the call had already turned into a busy tone. He was stunned for a moment before muttering to himself, "It's about a choice. Hah, I've just forced someone else to make a choice and now it's my turn …" Then, he dialed his girlfriend's number.
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Tina's anxious voice resonated from the other end of the phone. "Baby, you finally called! We haven't contacted each other for more than three months and I've been a little worried that something would happen to you these few days …"
"What could possibly happen to me? I'm the most powerful monster on Shrimp B1 Island," Zhang Lisheng joked. "The winter vacation should be over by now, right? Have you returned to Boston?"
Who the hell would go to Disneyland in winter? "
"Oh, I heard that many people will go to Disneyland to see the fireworks during the New Year … Are you alright, Tina?" Upon hearing his girlfriend's tone, the young man asked with concern.
"I'm fine. It's just that after you left, I would sometimes feel inexplicably uncomfortable when I look at the empty campus.
Our Sisters' Association has lost half of our people, baby. Trish, Sheila, and I would always have nightmares about our dead friends. I don't want you to worry, I just want to be strong … "
"You're already very strong now, dear," Zhang Lisheng interrupted the girl's words. "Where are you? I'll go look for you."
"Oh, thank you, baby, but there's no need for that. It's raining heavily outside …"
"Do you think a storm can stop me? Tell me where to find you?"
"Trish, Sheila, and I are at the OP-07 restaurant on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. We're trapped here by the heavy rain." The girl no longer insisted. It was apparent that she also wanted to lean on her lover's shoulder at this vulnerable moment.
"The OP-07 restaurant in Manhattan. I know where it is. Wait for me!" Zhang Lisheng said and hung up the phone. He took out the key of his Mercedes-Benz GL63 AMG from another drawer in the office and hurriedly ran out of the office building.
Braving the heavy rain, he dashed into the car, turned out of the factory, and drove along the highway to New York City.
The heavy rain poured down all the way. Avoiding the cars that had broken down on the highway, Zhang Lisheng successfully turned into the ring road by relying on the high chassis and excellent performance of a top-notch SUV. After spending more than an hour, he finally parked his car in front of the OP-07 restaurant.
The parking attendant who hid in the restaurant saw through the window that there were actually customers in such bad weather. Cursing secretly in his heart, he rushed into the rain with a black umbrella.
However, when he received a 100 dollar bill as a tip from Zhang Lisheng's hand, his anger immediately vanished. As he handed the umbrella to the young man respectfully, he did not forget to express his gratitude, "Thank you, sir! You're just too generous!"
"I should be the one thanking you. Such heavy rain is not good weather for parking." Zhang Lisheng took the umbrella and smiled at the waiter. He then walked quickly into the restaurant while stepping on the rain.
