Watching the man standing on the shore, Qiao Yixiong’s face was filled with relief, as if he had seen a lifeline. Their small boat ran aground on the shoal, and they disembarked with about twenty to thirty soldiers.

“Brother, thank you for allowing us to land. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know when we could reach land. The sea around here doesn’t even have a visible island,” Qiao Yixiong said in a familiar tone.

“Your territory seems quite remote…”

Hearing his casual words, Ji Chen nodded lightly, not showing much reaction. “Where are you from, and what brings you here?”

Seeing Ji Chen’s indifferent attitude, Qiao Yixiong’s enthusiasm didn’t waver. His face still expressed gratitude, and his tone was sincere. “Well, my name is Qiao Yixiong. May I know your name, brother?”

“Just call me Ji Chen.”

“Ji Chen? A great name!” Qiao Yixiong flattered first, then gestured to the four people following him. “They are all my companions. Their names are…”

“Well, a few days ago, we just left the Silver Islands and are on our way back to our territory,” Qiao Yixiong explained. “Brother Ji, you must have heard about the secrets of the Silver Islands from the chat channels and forums, right?”

Ji Chen nodded without denying it.

Not only did he know, but he was also deeply involved.

Seeing him nod, Qiao Yixiong’s eyes lit up. “You probably don’t know that the mystic realm was filled with Krieg soldiers everywhere, and it was extremely dangerous. We lost a lot of soldiers inside the mystic realm, and the final massive naval battle was intense…”

“…Player fleets, pirate fleets, Krieg fleets, and even the Bauhinia Alliance fleet were all attacking each other…”

Qiao Yixiong vividly described the events, speaking as if he had truly experienced it all.

Listening to his words, Ji Chen’s lips twitched imperceptibly.

Upon initial hearing, the account seemed convincingly authentic, leading players without personal experience of the event to unquestionably believe in its vivid portrayal.

However, from Ji Chen’s perspective as someone deeply involved in the event, the description was full of loopholes.

Wow, this guy is really swinging a big sword in front of Guan Yu, isn’t he?

But Qiao Yixiong, who was passionately narrating, was unaware of Ji Chen’s expression. As Qiao Yixong continued to speak, he almost started to believe his own words.

“…Just when hundreds of warships were chasing the player fleet, in the midst of all the chaos, a three-masted sailing ship suddenly appeared, like a fearless warrior, leading the charge towards the Silver Islands, showing the players an escape route.”

Qiao Yixiong paused for a moment, pointing to the old New Moon ship beside him. “It’s probably about the same size as that ship.”

“Let me tell you, that person on that ship was truly clever and decisive. They actually came up with the idea of using the complexity of the Silver Islands to evade pursuit.”

Hearing this, Ji Chen took a deep breath.

Hmm, more praise, he likes it.

“…In the end, only one out of ten players survived. Some of us left early to preserve our strength.”

“But fortunately, before the mystic realm opened, we made some trades with other players for specialty items, so when we returned, we could still make some money instead of returning empty-handed…”

“Oh, I see. What happened to you after that?” Ji Chen asked, intrigued by the vivid and novel description despite its numerous flaws.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yixiong’s face showed a hint of helplessness, and he let out a deep sigh.

“But on our way back, about two days ago, we encountered a storm at sea and accidentally lost some of our food and freshwater supplies. The remaining supplies are no longer sufficient for our journey back to the territory. So, 1 thought of purchasing some food and fresh water from you. We will pay with silver and gold coins.”

Ji Chen “realized” and nodded, understanding the situation.

This so-called Qiao Yixiong had never been to the Silver Islands. Although he appeared vividly, most of the information could be obtained from chat channels and forums.

However, after hearing this long spiel, he was able to consolidate so many fragmented pieces of information and present them so vividly. That was quite a talent in itself.

But unfortunately…

Ji Chen silently shook his head and said, “In that case, I can engage in trade with you.”

Qiao Yixiong was delighted.” Thank you, Brother Ji. Thank you for your help.”

He then relaxed his right hand, slightly raising his thumb as a signal to his companions.

Soon, a young man among them glanced around and curiously asked, “Brother, with so many ships, why haven’t you built a dock for easier access?”

“Shut up, don’t ask irrelevant questions,” snapped Qiao Yixiong, furrowing his brow. He then turned to Ji Chen with an apologetic expression and said, “Brother Ji, I apologize for his curiosity. He meant no harm.”

The young man, realizing his mistake, quickly expressed his regret. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have meddled.”

Among players, there was an unwritten agreement not to inquire about the details and specifics of others’ territories.

Qiao Yixiong was very clear about this, so he did the opposite. One played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, using psychological tactics.

In this way, people would be inclined to believe that they had no ill intentions.

Although this method was simple, the effect was surprisingly good. It allowed them to succeed in every endeavor, killing many players who competed with them for resources..
