Monsters Are Coming

In this section, a person responsible for connecting with players is set up, who will be in charge of evaluating task completion and distributing rewards once the tasks are completed.

This team will gradually expand as the mercenary platform develops, increasing the number of people served.

Besides these two areas, he also plans to set up an intelligence reception platform west of the trading center.

Then, he plans to build a warehouse area in the north direction, intended for temporarily storing resources brought ashore by the Alien Race.

Though, the warehouse area is essentially just for show.

The Alien Race wants to store their resources, but they directly send them into the player's Space Bag. Setting up the warehouse area is just to show the Alien Race that the goods are here.

In reality, it only contains a few players acting as warehouses.

Until trust trade is established between the Alien Race, the warehouse area will be canceled. This location will likely become a preselected site for the second phase expansion of the trading market.

Walking on the island, Ah Lan had already constructed the blueprint for Dream Island's future development in his mind.

...

Two days later.

Bright Star Sea Area.

The sea surface glimmered with fragmented golden light under the sunlight.

Suddenly, a dark silhouette broke the surface, disrupting the tranquility.

It was a black fish nearly two meters long, with a sleek and streamlined body, and scales gleaming with a deep black luster under the sunlight.

Upon breaking the surface, the black fish's muscles tensed, its tail swayed powerfully, like an arrow shot from a bowstring, after leaping tens of meters it crashed back into the sea, continuing to shuttle through the azure blue water, diving deeper into the ocean.

The blackfish's swimming speed was extremely fast, the water parted beside it, forming dense bubbles.

Its dorsal fin cut through the water like a blade, its body slightly turning, skillfully maneuvering around underwater reefs and seaweed.

After swimming a distance, the black fish abruptly flicked its tail, shooting its body back towards the ocean surface.

Breaking the surface, it soared through the air, gliding forward.

Sunshine shone on its wet scales, refracting dazzling light.

Its figure drew a graceful arc in the air, landing heavily back into the water, splashing crystal-clear droplets.

"Hahaha, indeed the Extreme Speed Soul is more thrilling."

Shuttling through the ocean, Zhou Li was in high spirits, his tail constantly swaying under his control.

His body lightly shook, and the speed surged under the Extreme Speed Soul, turning into a black lightning, carving invisible tracks in the seawater.

Transformed into extreme speed form, his perception in the water became extraordinarily sharp.

At this time, a dense coral reef appeared ahead.

Zhou Li showed no intention of slowing down, his body slightly tilted, his dorsal fin precisely slicing through the water, adroitly weaving between the corals.

Suddenly, his gaze locked on a silver-white fish school swimming not far away.

Zhou Li's tail jerked, his body accelerating rapidly towards the fish school.

The fish school sensed the danger and scattered in fright, but their speed was nothing before Zhou Li.

His body drew a graceful arc in the water, easily catching up with one fish, opening his mouth and swallowing it whole.

"Fresh!"

Having a convenient snack, Zhou Li continued his journey.

Half a day ago, he received a notice from the vice president, indicating that the chamber of commerce had purchased intelligence provided by the Alien Race.

Members of the Silver Throat Clan indicated they knew the location of Domain Node information.

This intelligence was ultimately negotiated to be purchased for 8374 sacrificial power points.

But before verifying the intelligence, the chamber of commerce gave Silver Throat Clan approximately 800 sacrificial power points worth of mall goods as an advance payment.

His current task was to go to the coordinates provided by Silver Throat Clan to verify the authenticity of the Domain Node intelligence.

As a Monster Stream Player, using vehicles was out of the question.

Thinking about needing to frequently shuttle in the ocean in the future, he painfully decomposed his Roaring Soul to replace it with the Extreme Speed Soul.

Regarding the Black Armored Snake embedded in the first slot of Star Vein, he certainly wouldn't decompose it.

This was the starting point of his dream, the source of choosing Monster Stream gameplay, even as faith it had to stay.

With the map summoned, there was still some sea journey left to the marked coordinates. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel※fire.net

Adjusting his swimming direction, Zhou Li's tail quickly swayed, his body shooting off like an arrow.

As he swam, he felt as if his body became one with the seawater, each scale joyfully quivering.

In his vision, colorful coral reefs swiftly retreated, fish schools scattered in panic beside him.

Sunlight permeated the sea, forming golden pillars beneath the water, rippling with the waves like paving a golden path for him.

Zhou Li couldn't help but open his mouth, letting seawater surge in, bringing salty taste, yet making him feel immensely exhilarated.

"Yaho~!"

He uttered an enthusiastic cheer, his voice transforming into bubbles in the water, rapidly ascending.

His body flexibly circled around a massive black reef, feeling the delicate sensation of the water sliding past his side, a feeling he had never experienced before.

Under extreme speed form, every tail swing made him feel the release of Strength, as if all worries were thrown behind.

At this moment, even his heartbeat synchronized with the rhythm of the seawater, emotions released with the increase in speed.

"This damn well is the feeling of freedom!"

He had always been puzzled by those who pursue extreme sports.

Skydiving, rock climbing, deep-sea diving... these actions seemed reckless to him, full of unnecessary risks.

He still remembered the first time he watched extreme sports videos, watching those people leap from the cliff's edge, or shuttle in the tumultuous waves, he couldn't help but murmur.

Thinking were these people crazy? Not enjoying good days, why risk their lives?

Now, he finally understood.
