Chapter 711: Killing Two Birds with One Stone
"Master Zhu? Is that you, Master Zhu?"
Zhong Feng was overjoyed! Even while still in mid-air, he transformed back into his human form, revealing his true identity as a Blue Star human.
Master Zhu also transformed back to his original form, stroking his long beard and laughing heartily. "Ha! I had a feeling you might pass through here, so I decided to try my luck. I didn't expect it to actually work!"
Master Zhu was also very pleased because the player he had been waiting for was Zhong Feng, not a foreigner. Zhong Feng was naturally more trustworthy.
"Master Zhu, I knew you were still alive!" Zhong Feng landed from the sky, standing on the ground and looking at Master Zhu with excitement.
For the past two months, Master Zhu had seemed to vanish without a trace. But the lack of any news was a good sign—he must still be alive!
After all, if the Skrulls had truly captured or killed him, they would have boasted about it. They wouldn't have kept it a secret.
"Yes, I'm still alive," Master Zhu replied with a smile. "I had a great opportunity on Skrul Star, so I stayed there instead of returning... How is Blue Star doing now?"
"It's not particularly well, but it's progressing step by step," Zhong Feng said with a forced smile. "And you? Did you infiltrate the Makaton royal family?"
"That's a long story... Let's go back and talk in a safe place," Master Zhu suggested.
"Sure, I'll follow your lead," Zhong Feng agreed without hesitation.
He transformed into a Crown Bird, perching on Master Zhu's shoulder and activating the Stealth skill to hide his body.
Master Zhu took to the sky, carrying Zhong Feng toward the capital.
...
An hour later, in an underground cave beneath the royal palace of the capital.
Master Zhu and Zhong Feng sat opposite each other, cross-legged.
Zhong Feng breathed in the dense psychic energy surrounding him, letting out a contented sigh.
During the hour, they had used telepathic communication to exchange information and understand each other's current situations.
Zhong Feng was amazed by Master Zhu's circumstances. Not only had Master Zhu established himself in the Makaton Kingdom, but he had even become the king by a stroke of luck?
It was hard to believe if he hadn't heard it from Master Zhu himself!
Master Zhu was also deeply moved by Zhong Feng's account of Blue Star's situation.
During the "Gravitational Funnel" incident, the Skrulls' monsters had killed millions of Blue Star citizens. The Blue Star cultivators and the people united, leading thousands of mercenary battalions to fight against the monster horde.
After the "Explosive Mining" incident, dozens of Blue Star cultivators traveled over 20,000 kilometers, capturing three giant psychic springs without a single drop of blood being spilled.
These heroic deeds had been kept secret by the Skrull Expeditionary Force, with no reports reaching them.
Master Zhu felt a deep sense of regret for not being able to participate in these two major events.
To comfort Master Zhu, Zhong Feng said, "Master Zhu, even though you couldn't be on the front lines, your achievements behind enemy lines are truly remarkable! If we can turn more Skrulls to our side and create a strong resistance against the Le Sun and Lenkter kingdoms, it will greatly benefit our final battle!"
Zhong Feng had not yet told Master Zhu about Cindy Doppler or the Dragon Clan. It wasn't that he didn't trust Master Zhu, but he didn't see the need.
The Dragon Clan's defection was far from certain.
Cindy Doppler, being a Skrull, was trusted by Su Yu, but Zhong Feng had always been suspicious of her.
If Zhong Feng told Master Zhu about Cindy Doppler and Master Zhu inadvertently showed her kindness in the wrong context, it could lead to a major disaster!
...
After their conversation, Master Zhu stood up and said to Zhong Feng, "I will build this 'rear base' in the Makaton Kingdom, ensuring that those who oppose the Skrull United Government are placed in important positions within the kingdom.
Zhong Feng, let's head to the surface. I'll hand over the resources I've gathered over these months, and you can take them back to Blue Star... Wait, how much more can your storage space hold?"
"You can rest assured, I can store as much as there is!"
"Really? That's great! Wait... You seriously can store as much as you want?"
Upon hearing Zhong Feng's words, an idea suddenly sprang to mind.
"That's right. It's a skill from the Drui profession..."
Zhong Feng briefly explained the effects of the Emerald Dream Portal skill.
"If that's the case, can you help me deal with a few hostile major families?" Senior Zhu suggested with a hint of excitement:
"There are several major families in the southeastern part of the kingdom that resist me, and I can't openly move against them.
If you go there, I can provide you with the most detailed intelligence on these families, including the approximate locations of their treasures.
What do you say? Are you up for it?"
If Zhong Feng was willing to go, it would be a win-win situation! He would strike against his political enemies and solidify his own power, while Zhong Feng could return to Blue Star with the vast resources from these families.
"Sure, why not? I have seven days, so I can go!" Zhong Feng immediately agreed without much thought.
This reminded him of Su Yu's experience a month ago.
.
A month ago, Su Yu had received intelligence provided by Cindy Doppler,, Su Yu had managed to empty out dozens of warehouses belonging to the Baker resistance and G2.
Now it was his turn!
He hoped everything would go smoothly!
...
...
That's all for Zhong Feng and Senior Zhu for now.
While Zhong Feng and Senior Zhu were having a lengthy discussion in the underground cave, Little Tian returned to the capital of Baker Kingdom and successfully entered the villa where Cindy Doppler lived.
Over the past seven days, Little Tian had been wandering the Wild Continent.
Unlike other players who focused on slaying beasts to hone their skills, she was dedicated to the dozen treasure maps.
After seven days of continuous treasure hunting, she successfully completed two treasure maps and obtained the treasures within.
One of the treasures was a black, sooted "fire poker," and the other was a square blue crystal, the purpose of which was unknown.
Today, she came to Cindy Doppler's residence for two reasons: to return the materials she had collected with her spatial ring to Blue Star, and to have Cindy Doppler identify the two treasures she had found.
...
In the second-floor study of Cindy Doppler's residence.
When Little Tian mentioned that she had solved two treasure maps, Cindy Doppler was utterly astonished.
He stared at Little Tian in disbelief, completely unable to believe it: "The locations marked on these treasure maps actually exist? I never thought anyone could find the treasures!"
These dozen treasure Maps had been inscribed on a 3D map over a decade ago. Many people had tried to find the treasures marked on the maps, but no one had ever succeeded.
Later, everyone assumed the treasure maps were just a marketing gimmick. Who would have thought they were real!
Little Tian's luck is just too good!
