Global Game: Crazy Mobile App

Not long after.

Outside Cloud Water Town.

Three figures riding mounts quickly stopped in front of the old site of the town.

The three were none other than Hang Yu, Su Yunbing, and Xu Tianhua.

Xu Tianhua jumped down from the back of the galloping wild boar, his eyes scanning the town before him. Although the Spirit Realm had descended for only a little over two months, from the outside, this place looked like ruins abandoned thousands of years ago, and it was hard to see that there had been a human settlement here.

The human buildings were all covered in vegetation, making the structures hard to recognize, but if you looked closely, you would find a few regular rectangles not far from the riverside, which should have been the previous factory area.

Xu Tianhua exclaimed, "Fishmen!"

Fishmen kept walking out from the fog-covered river, moving in and out of these factories, transporting various materials, looking quite orderly.

Hang Yu didn’t plan to hide the Fishman Base, as it couldn’t be concealed anyway. Cloud Water Town, although a bit distant from Jiang City’s urban area, was only a mere twenty to thirty kilometers away.

The place might fool ordinary people, but it’s almost impossible to hide from the Celestial Net or other upper levels, after all, intelligence departments are not blind.

Exposure is only a matter of time.

Rather than that, it’s better to lay everything on the table and talk it out openly.

Given Hang Yu had just made a significant contribution to Jiang City, leveraging his friendship and relationship with Xu Tianhua, it could be a mutually beneficial cooperation.

Su Yunbing said, "Sharu has made arrangements here. The nearby Fishmen won’t attack us."

Hang Yu nodded and said to Old Xu, "Let’s go inside and take a look."

The three passed through a green wall full of vines, and Xu Tianhua discovered that the factories, once belonging to humans, were now completely taken over by the Fishmen, becoming an unmistakable Fishman factory.

Teams of Fishmen soldiers patrolled back and forth.

They noticed the three, expressing hostility but not launching an attack, obviously under the restraint of high-level leaders. Though subspecies intelligence is not high, they’re not entirely brainless.

According to Su Yunbing’s explanation.

Sharu would show the soldiers photos of Hang Yu and her, reinforcing their impressions of Hang Yu and Su Yunbing. Just like training animals, over time, they would develop habits and reflexes, forming memories of not initiating attacks.

Due to the additional presence of Xu Tianhua, the Fishmen still seemed a bit restless, given that Spirit Realm species are habitually repulsed by foreign invaders. But fortunately, these Fishmen were mostly tamed by Sharu, so as long as no threatening actions were made, the situation would remain under control.

Su Yunbing walked ahead, acting as a guide.

"We currently have around nine hundred Fishman Production Soldiers, seventy percent of which are Fishman slaves with Collection Skills. They make daily trips to nearby resource sites, primarily mining Cold Iron, Fire Copper, Mithril, Refined Gold, and Black Iron Wood, common Artifact Refining Materials, along with various Alchemy and Medicine Refining materials."

"Besides the plentiful resources nearby, the Fishmen can leverage their geographical advantage to move quickly through the Yangtze River, not only mining resources from the riverbed but also encompassing various resources in the aquatic regions."

"These are our resource warehouses."

"This is the Fishman processing workshop."

"This is the Fishman production plant."

"..."

Su Yunbing pointed out the factories one by one.

These factories appeared dilapidated, as no one managed them, and various plants had long eroded their appearance, but a closer look revealed that they had been remodeled by the Fishmen.

Fishmen are skilled at constructing buildings directly with sand and mud, which have a firmness far superior to cement, so there is no concern about collapsing. The outer layer of green vegetation actually serves as good camouflage.

A considerable amount of raw materials had already accumulated in the Fishman warehouse.

These raw materials couldn’t be used directly for production. They would be sent to the processing workshop for assembly line processing, such as refining Cold Iron from Cold Iron Ore, then refining low-level Cold Iron into advanced Cold Iron.

When the raw materials were ready.

Some would be sent to the production plant where Fishmen skilled in Artifact Refining Techniques and Medicine Refining Skills would craft simple low-quality equipment and low-level potions.

Of course, the vast majority of refined and enhanced materials were regularly sent to the production base of the Cyan Dragon Community.

They would be turned into equipment and potions in the Cyan Dragon Community, supplied to the Cyan Dragon Pharmacy and Cyan Dragon Equipment Shop, and also to the Azure Dragon Organization in the Earth Dragon Realm to support the development of Deserted Valley Town.

Xu Tianhua toured the factories in disbelief.

The impact of this place on him was incredibly immense.

Xu Tianhua didn’t even know how to describe his feelings at this moment.

They then entered Cloud Water Town, where expansive Spirit Fields unfolded before their eyes, the scale and area several times larger than the Cyan Dragon Community.

In reality, Spirit Fields have never been rare resources; they exist in abundance in the wilderness, but humans lacked the energy or capability to develop them.

Su Yunbing said, "This is the field area we’ve opened up. In the future, a large number of common materials like Life Grass and Magic Power Grass will be planted. There will also be a large orchard and farm developed, planting various Spirit Fruits and Spirit Grains for direct sale or winemaking."

The tour was almost complete.

The production base had just been established not long ago.

There were still many areas needing improvement.

Hang Yu asked, "Old Xu, what do you think, do you have any suggestions?"

Xu Tianhua was not the type to be easily surprised, but he had to admit he was impressed by Hang Yu’s creativity.

The whole world was troubled by the invasion of Spirit Realm species.

Everyone considers the Spirit Realm species a major threat.

Hang Yu decided to do the opposite, actually utilizing these invading Fishmen in Jiang City, recruiting them into his own forces, and suddenly gaining a large amount of cheap labor!

Just imagine.

Other private forces.

When they mass-produce potions, from obtaining herbal seeds to planting and breeding, then processing the raw materials, and finally refining the finished products.

This process requires hiring people to complete it, and ordinary private forces cannot have such a large manpower as official departments, so labor expenditure accounts for a considerable part of the total cost.

Hang Yu has now outsourced all the previous steps to Fishman Production Soldiers, with hundreds and thousands of cheap laborers, who don’t tire, don’t require wages, and don’t complain, drastically reducing production costs.

Not to mention, by setting up such a production base, the Cyan Dragon Group can easily obtain external resources that people of Jiang City cannot collect... All of the above ultimately translates into an advantage, keeping the Cyan Dragon Group far ahead in competitiveness!

The restaurant brand under Fatty, the bar brand built by Su Yunbing, Cyan Dragon Pharmacy, Cyan Dragon Equipment Shop, Cyan Dragon Supermarket, etc., will become impeccable from now on.

At the same time.

Xu Tianhua also finally understood.

Why Hang Yu was able to provide Celestial Net with Fishman intelligence every few days previously; it turned out Hang Yu planted a mole inside the Storm Tribe, and the Storm Tribe was completely unaware of it!

"You can turn pests into labor; this is simply genius, what more advice can I offer?" Xu Tianhua shook his head with a bitter smile, glancing at the hardworking Fishmen beside him, "My only concern is, are these Fishmen reliable? Will they rebel?"

Hang Yu said, "They won’t, as long as we firmly control Sharu, and elevate Sharu to become a leader among the Pioneers, then we can completely control the entire Storm Tribe Expeditionary Force."

The effects of Permanent Charm?

Xu Tianhua had witnessed this skill’s ability.

Permanent Charm is indeed an extremely unreasonable ability.

Because Permanent Charm modifies the deepest layer of thoughts, making it difficult to be detected by reconnaissance, and the longer it lasts, the more ingrained and unbreakable its effects become.

Xu Tianhua soon met the Fishman Sharu.

Upon seeing Fishman Sharu’s attitude, he was completely relieved; but thinking about it, Hang Yu is a cautious person, and if he didn’t have considerable confidence, he wouldn’t have done this.

The Fishman hazard has been a longstanding issue.

It is the biggest threat to the Jiang City government.

If this method can skillfully resolve it, wouldn’t Jiang City’s biggest external pressure vanish in an instant?

Moreover, the Storm Tribe led by the Fishmen are all Sea Race, possessing complete dominance over water, and with their ships, they can open water transport routes for humans.

You have to know.

Now railways and roads are completely ruined.

At the moment a plane takes off, it might be surrounded by unknown creatures in minutes.

Humans have yet to research new forms of transportation to counter these threats, and the Storm Tribe, as Spirit Realm natives, has transportation tools developed in the Spirit Realm, so they are certainly much stronger than humans in this regard.

Finally.

Xu Tianhua sat down.

He had in his hand the intelligence report Hang Yu gave him.

This report was detailed intelligence about a large and influential Storm Tribe Pioneer force active near Jiang City, detailing leadership strength, troop numbers, locations, and more.

Because it’s nearly two hundred kilometers away.

The Jiang City side knew nothing about it.

Thankfully, he got hold of the materials in time, otherwise waiting a few more months, this group of Fishmen might have already established a nation near Jiang City.

As the head of the Military Intelligence Bureau, Xu Tianhua.

He submitted this report, surely earning considerable merit.

"Old Xu, there’s no need for tricks between us, right?" Hang Yu said, sipping his tea, "Just one word, cooperation!"

Taking a deep breath, Xu Tianhua asked, "How do you want to cooperate?"

"That would depend on how the government wants to cooperate." Hang Yu said very frankly, "As long as the conditions are reasonable, anything can be negotiated."

Xu Tianhua tentatively asked, "If, um... I’m saying if, Jiang City wants to buy into the Fishman Base, would you agree?"

Hang Yu was very clear that raising such a large native force near Jiang City, and trying to completely work independently away from Jiang City would inevitably lead to friction and suspicion with the government in the future.

Furthermore,

This plate is very large.

The Cyan Dragon Group alone might not be able to handle it all.

"I said, as long as the conditions are reasonable, all cooperation can be talked about, including accepting government shares." Hang Yu said, "Of course, the premise is that the leadership and controlling shares of the Fishman Base must lie with Cyan Dragon."

"Good! I will get back to you as soon as possible! As for this intelligence, I’ll gladly accept it!" Xu Tianhua stood up with the intelligence, "As long as we have this intelligence, we won’t let these Fishman invaders continue to be arrogant!"

(Thanks to Unknown for igniting everything into ashes once again for the ten-thousand reward and becoming the leader of the book!)
