Chapter 1221 - 638: A Rare Banquet and Task Arrangements

The Regional Channel was still pretty lively.

Zong Shen glanced a few times, but it was all a blur; he didn’t recognize anyone.

As a "Deep Sea Lord" who lurks all year and never surfaces, the only Lords he’s familiar with are just a few.

Sometimes silently lurking and reading the chat is a kind of joy too.

"Li Rui1992522: Recently there’ve been more and more Refugees and horse bandits coming from the south."

"Li Rui1992522: Thanks to those horse bandits, I’ve gotten quite a lot of Grassland Horses!"

"Ao Rigele1997612: The Indigenous People Bang City in the south seems to have run into big trouble. Every day I just send my Wolf Cavalry to ride a loop to the south and I can round up dozens of Refugees!"

"Kutsuki Kensuke1980211: Yo, are you all in the southern part of the Region?"

"Kutsuki Kensuke1980211: I heard a lot of people died yesterday in the Poisonous Mist Swamp down south?"

"Gladsone Cedric1987519: You mean you didn’t look at the channel yesterday? A Black Dragon showed up there!"

"Kutsuki Kensuke1980211: So ka, I was busy dealing with a Little Flame Demon yesterday, only saw a Silver Banner flash by. Seems like Lord Zong Shen in the Region tamed one of the top thirty apex creatures on the Continent. Then I heard from some friends nearby that a Poison Swamp down south had a major incident, so I came out to ask!"

"Benjamin Ain1991616: That’s right, that Black Dragon killed a lot of Lords and their Escort Warriors. Luckily Lord Zong Shen arrived in time and subdued it!"

"Kutsuki Kensuke1980211: Soka sne! Luckily my Territory is up in the Northern Forest of the Region. Aside from occasionally running into a Goblin Squad, it’s pretty peaceful!"

"Kutsuki Kensuke1980211: I once sent people to trail a Goblin Squad. Turns out there’s a Goblin Tribe dozens of kilometers east of my Territory. I really didn’t expect them to be able to cross dozens of kilometers of land!"

...

Seeing this, Zong Shen’s lips curled up slightly.

He could basically deduce where this Lord named Kutsuki Kensuke was located.

The Goblin Tribe was dozens of kilometers east of his Territory.

Then this guy’s position should be somewhere in the Northern Forest to the northwest of Zong Shen Territory.

Speaking of which, thanks to that Goblin Tribe, who knows how many Lords in the Northern Forest have met a miserable end.

If they’re farther away it’s still okay, but if they’re too close, they’ll probably be pulled into the goblins’ hunting Range, and the goblins will bring a huge group over and flatten their Territory directly.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen decided to surface and make a splash.

"Zong Shen1999514: The scale of that Goblin Tribe is indeed quite large!"

"Jeremiah Buck1997425: ????? Lord Zong??"

"Li Chen1994822: Holy shit, it’s really Lord Zong!"

"Kutsuki Kensuke1980211: Yamete! Lord Zong Shen actually replied to me!"

"Sheridan Jerry Kajefsky1998209: Ura! Lord Zong, you’re my idol. You’ve got to visit my Territory if there’s a chance, I’ll treat you to honey-roasted bear meat!"

...

His message was like a depth charge, practically custom-made for blasting fish.

The Regional Channel instantly blew up; the refresh rate of messages shot up by several notches.

Thankfully the Regional Channel doesn’t have an @ function, or Zong Shen would definitely be getting spammed like crazy right now.

Watching the channel grow even livelier before his eyes,

Zong Shen thought for a moment, then sent another message.

"Zong Shen1999514: Tomorrow I’m going to wipe out that Goblin Tribe!"

After sending this message, he closed the Regional Channel.

The Goblin Tribe was getting wiped out anyway, so before that he might as well drop the news and further boost his prestige in the Region.

After closing the Regional Channel, Zong Shen opened the Friends & Family Channel.

"Ah Ze, what are you up to?"

Come to think of it, that brat Ah Ze hadn’t sent a message for several days now.

Zong Shen had been busy too, with no time for chatting at all.

Taking advantage of this rare leisure, he planned to chat a bit with Ah Ze.

Around this hour it should be almost dinner time; Ah Ze ought to be free.

After he sent the message, it took a full two minutes before Zong Shen got a notification of a reply.

"Bro, I’m exploring a ruin right now!"

"Look, this is an ancient underground cave in the middle of the mountains."

Zong Ze also recorded a picture. From the image, you could see he was in a dimly lit cave, the stone walls on both sides jagged and uneven. Torchlight flickered, casting the silhouettes of him and several Escort Warriors onto the rock.

If you looked closely you could even see traces of black graffiti.

"Nice, then you get back to it."

"I’m relatively free right now, just waiting for food!"

"[image.JPG]"

Zong Shen quickly replied, casually opened the camera function, turned around, and snapped a shot of the busy kitchen scene.

This time Zong Ze replied much faster.

"So jealous! This is the true decadent lifestyle of a Lord!"

"All I’ve got is jerky to eat, [image.JPG]."

Zong Ze sent a picture of a half-eaten piece of jerky and joked.

Seeing his little brother’s reply, Zong Shen rolled his eyes.

Ah Ze still has the nerve to say he’s the decadent one!

Zong Shen is the real Fallen Lord here—what’s with that Water Mage Girl and Beast-eared Girl, huh!

"Alright, get back to work."

"In a few days it’ll be Defense Challenge time, don’t wander around too much."

"Get through the Defense Challenge steadily, focus on Development, and wait for Dad and Mom to arrive."

"In this colorful world, the two of us have to make sure we match our parents up properly!"

Seeing that Ah Ze was really exploring a cave, Zong Shen simply wrapped up the chat.

"Got it, big bro, you too!"

"These days I tell everyone, ’You know that Golden Banner big shot Zong Shen, right?’"

"’Yeah, he’s my brother!’"

"When we get a chance, us brothers have to meet up, right?"

"By then you’ve got to tell me properly how to get a Golden Banner announcement."
