Chapter 1574 - 1444: Su Junhao’s Desire to Become Japanese

Chapter 1574: Chapter 1444: Su Junhao’s Desire to Become Japanese

At the Mitsubishi Team Command Center, when all the national war players around the world withdrew from Japan and returned home to celebrate, the new journey of the Mitsubishi Team had already begun. No one was blaming the Mitsubishi Team for their failure anymore because everyone knew that the Mitsubishi Team had done their best, and people were used to Da Fei’s strength, accustomed to the inevitability of his invincibility.

At this moment, the Mitsubishi Team led hundreds of local guilds nationwide to start taking over the city ruins left behind after the Hell Army’s retreat, with villages quietly emerging one after another amidst the ruins. These Sealing Orders given to players are a system-bound gift after reaching level 50, encouraging players to build cities in the New World. However, it is obvious that instead of struggling to build cities in the New World, establishing villages in the economic circle of the NPC kingdoms in the Old World yields the highest returns.

In just two short hours, more than 500 villages were born amidst the ruins in the Japan zone. Indeed, these beginner villages have very small territories, not enough to cover a city-level ruin. Hence, the Japan zone uses Sealing Orders indiscriminately to densely claim land amidst the ruins, vying for territories once held by the Elf Kingdom.

In the future, once each village starts to take shape, they will discard all the redundant villages through integration, concentrating all efforts on developing the core main village, which will ultimately grow into a city.

The so-called integration is when the level of the main village upgrades to town level, expanding its territorial area. Then, the surrounding adjacent villages will be demolished, removing the City Hall and 50% of the village buildings from the surrounding villages. At that point, the town’s territory will just cover those abandoned village remnants, automatically annexing those remaining structures into the town’s facilities. This achieves the purpose of rapidly growing into a city like a snowball.

This is actually the same construction model as the new Demon Shadow City underground. As long as a Sealing Order is placed on a well-facilitated site, those facilities are automatically incorporated into the village.

However, this rule of expanding territory through upgrading towns is limited to cities independently built by players. Constructions like Da Fei’s Radiant City, which are joint ventures with the Elf Kingdom, have no such restrictions. Because the vast area surrounding Da Fei’s Pool of Radiance has already been implicitly recognized by the Elf Kingdom as part of the Pool of Radiance’s territory, Radiant City’s territorial attributes clearly state that the territory area is "the entirety of the Pool of Radiance."

Even if Radiant City’s administrative specification is just a village, it is still an "urban-level village" with a huge area. It’s like Sansha City in China, where even though the administrative base is only the size of a village, its actual region is far beyond provincial level.

So, this results in the Dragon Slayer Guild building walls around the Pool of Radiance, but once these walls are captured by Da Fei, they become assets and facilities of Radiant City. Although task-built cities require players to give up 50% of their profits, different mission backgrounds still have their unique advantages.

While the Japan zone was bustling with activity, good news also reached the Mitsubishi Command Center.

"Captain Tsukamoto, after the discussions just now, the teams from Vietnam, the Philippines, Australia, and Taiwan in the Southeast Asia New Zone have agreed to fully cooperate in an alliance with our Mitsubishi Team, sharing the latest game development results!"

At this moment, the Mitsubishi Command Center echoed with cheers.

Tsukamoto said proudly, "Who says us young people can’t get things done? Quickly report this good news to the president in the hospital!"

"Haiyi!"

Sly God said with great satisfaction, "Originally, I thought the strong suppression of our Japan zone by Da Fei from the China Region would make these teams lose confidence in us, but unexpectedly, our failure has brought everyone tightly together!"

Gunno Yosai sneered, "That’s to be expected. This is not just a game, it also reflects everyone’s perception of the Chinese in reality. The stronger the China Region gets, the more everyone feels threatened, especially with someone like Da Fei, a shameless Great Demon King who destroys cities. Any smart person knows what to do."

Tsukamoto said excitedly, "Actually, the main thing is having the American Team as backing. However, that’s not important anymore. What’s important is that now with the latest technology shared and the division of labor clear, we can definitely speed up greatly, whether in developing airships or new troop types. Our Japan zone is the real master of East Asia, Da Fei won’t suppress us for long!"

At this moment, Sessho Kanpaku frowned and said, "Is it appropriate to share the situation with the Taiwan Team? After all, they are also Chinese!"

As soon as he said this, the entire Mitsubishi Team burst into laughter!

Tsukamoto laughed heartily, "Mr. Kikuchi! You really don’t live up to the name of Kanpaku, don’t just focus on playing games, and don’t let your attention be solely consumed by the Sengoku Era."

Sly God chuckled, "The so-called ’president’ of Taiwan isn’t even considered Chinese. Her father is Japanese, her mother, brother, and sister are all American, and she became president because of our Japan’s efforts behind the scenes. Needless to say, the game team established with investment from our Mitsubishi Company, they won’t listen to anyone but us in Japan."

Sessho Kanpaku then realized and said with embarrassment, "Thank you for the guidance, Captain and predecessors! But I still think that those who are not of our kind must have a different heart and must be guarded against, after all, Taiwan has connections with Mainland China."

Tsukamoto furrowed his brow, "You’re right, Taiwan flattering us in Japan while doing business with China to make big money is no secret. Such disloyal opportunists cannot be trusted, but not sharing technology with them would push them entirely towards China. It’s still necessary to have strict approval procedures for the Taiwan Team and not let any disloyal person infiltrate the team. Mr. Kikuchi, this matter will be entrusted to you. You are to fully oversee the situation of the Taiwan Team. If necessary, your office can even be relocated to Taiwan’s Yixing Team for comprehensive supervision."

Sessho Kanpaku stood up energetically and said, "I think it’s very necessary! Please issue me a ticket to go abroad for official business immediately!"

Tsukamoto laughed heartily, "As expected of Mr. Kikuchi! Good, I’ll notify the president immediately and inform the Yixing Team to prepare for your arrival, and you can also bring a few frontline members to assist you with your work, and improve the Yixing Team’s gaming skills along the way."

"Haiyi! I’ll start packing my luggage immediately!"

...

Beijing Time 8 a.m., and also 8 a.m. Taipei time in the UTC+8 timezone. The largest esports club in Taipei, Yixing Team, was beginning a new day once again.

Despite the exhaustion from staying up all night, Su Junhao immediately picked up the trash can to clear away all the instant noodle cups, cigarette butts, drink bottles, and tissue paper from the teammates’ desks. He was an 18-year-old skinny youth with glasses, who for various reasons had always been the target of bullying by classmates and teammates. However, the more things were like this, the more diligent and determined he became to prove himself.

Although his teammates had become accustomed to Ahao’s hard-working nature, his intentional enthusiasm still made some teammates even more dissatisfied with him.

"What are you doing? My phone has always been right here! If the phone goes missing, I’ll come after you!"

Su Junhao weakly said, "Brother Tianxiong, the team rules say no phones in the studio!"

The teammate angrily slammed the table: "Rules! Only the captain has the right to speak about that, who do you think you are! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll beat you up!"

Su Junhao nodded repeatedly and bowed: "Sorry! Sorry, Brother Tianxiong!"

Brother Tianxiong sneered: "If saying sorry works, why do we need rules?"

The commotion from Brother Tianxiong immediately revived the group of teammates who were sleepy from pulling all-nighters. There’s no denying that with someone like Ahao around, the studio was never boring or lonely. Just as the teammates were eagerly watching to see what drama would unfold today, the workroom door opened, and the captain suddenly appeared at the door with a stern expression: "Ahao, come to the manager’s office for a moment."

Su Junhao’s face turned even paler: "Captain, I didn’t do anything wrong!"

The captain impatiently said: "Relax, you won’t have a chance to do anything wrong."

"Oh?" At this moment, the other team members became even more excited, asking one after another: "What does the captain mean by that?"

The captain shouted angrily: "Mind your own business! All of you go back and clean your desks and dormitories thoroughly! Wash the dormitory three times! Clean the studio ten times! Throw out all the messy things from your dorms, and if the monitor is even slightly dissatisfied, you’ll be out too!"

The teammates were shocked: "What monitor is that? ’Out too’?"

Su Junhao trembled all over: "Captain, does the team want me out? I’ve been excellent in the team’s cleaning tasks!"

The captain was even more impatient: "You’re not wrong, the problem is with your family!"

Su Junhao was profoundly shocked.

In the team manager’s office, Su Junhao stood lifelessly in front of the manager.

The manager sighed: "Ahao, you’ve always performed well. But some things you also understand. We’re really reluctant to let you go. If every team member was like you, that would be great. Anyway, this is your salary for the month. And then—"

After speaking, the manager took out another stack of money: "This is my personal gesture, quickly pack your luggage."

Su Junhao blankly said: "Manager, please tell me, is it the monitor who wants me out?"

The manager sighed deeply: "Yes, the Mitsubishi Team is sending a monitor this afternoon, and anyone with Mainland background cannot be kept. Your mother is Mainland Chinese, we have no choice."

At this moment, Su Junhao cried out, tears streaming down his face: "Manager, please let me meet the monitor. I was born in Taiwan, I’m not Mainland Chinese, my greatest idol is Japan, I’ve been learning Japanese since I was 5 years old, please let me talk to the monitor in Japanese, I’ll surely move and gain their trust!"

The captain frowned and said: "Ahao, we all know your Japanese is good, so you can still find a better job elsewhere, there’s no worry about that!"

The manager sighed: "Ahao, we’re really sorry! Go prepare quickly."

"Let’s go!" The captain pushed Su Junhao out of the manager’s office.

Under the varied looks of his roommates, Su Junhao packed his things and left the team he had worked so hard to join. At that moment, Su Junhao gritted his teeth with just one thought, that was to go back and buy equipment to develop independently, Su Junhao was determined to prove his abilities with his actions, to make the team, to make the Japanese monitor accept him again!

No, this is just the first step in life! Su Junhao’s ultimate goal is to become Japanese! He must become Japanese! (To be continued.
