Chapter 592: The Forger Understands, The Forger Prepares, Fire-Spouting Lei Initiates War

"Greenfield?"

The Forger stared at the message, the format vaguely familiar, his eyelids twitching slightly.

The first time he had met Greenfield, she had inexplicably sent him a similar message.

And it was precisely because of that message that he had dodged an extremely dangerous Civilization War.

After that incident, The Forger's relationship with Greenfield gradually warmed up.

Later, thanks to her prophecies, he successfully resolved several other troubles.

Because he understood Greenfield's abilities, The Forger took her warnings very seriously, with absolutely no carelessness.

Instead, he placed great importance on them.

[Forger's Cavern: The survival points have been transferred over. What's going on?]

Greenfield looked at the 80 million survival points that had arrived in her account, her eyes narrowing slightly.

The feeling of making money was truly intoxicating.

Doing business with a big spender was just so easy.

A bit of the frustration she had felt from Yu Yuan's mysteriousness gradually dissipated.

"Look at this guy. If only The Forger were my ally. He's not only wealthy but also generous. Unlike that other guy, who's mysterious all day long. I want to get some information out of him, and it's incredibly difficult—I have to read his mood."

She pouted slightly, silently complaining in her heart.

But she also knew that time was precious, and business came first.

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: Big Beard, you're generous. Let's get down to business.

I was making a prophecy just now and discovered that in 13 minutes, 'Fire-Spouting Lei' will launch a Civilization War against you. But it seems he has a blocking item that obscures his star to a certain extent. It should shield the Virtual Light Screen's notification to you. Be extremely careful.]

When The Forger read Greenfield's words, his entire body tensed up, his muscles tightening, his eyelids jumping.

"Thirteen minutes!"

He immediately checked the time.

He drew in a sharp breath.

He didn't doubt Greenfield's words in the slightest. Although Greenfield was a money-grubber, she always gave exactly what was paid for—the higher the price, the higher the credibility.

On the contrary, if she inexplicably offered you a discount, you had to be on high alert.

These were all lessons he had accumulated from dealing with Greenfield over such a long time.

Since she dared to charge such a high price this time, the accuracy of the information was basically 100%.

However, The Forger still had a bit of confusion.

[Forger's Cavern: I understand. But why would Fire-Spouting Lei suddenly attack me? It shouldn't be!]

A few seconds later, he saw the few words Greenfield sent and instantly understood everything.

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: Fallen Abyss]

"Trouble. It seems the conflict between my organization and the 'Fallen Abyss' has already spread to me."

As the player with the highest potential at Bronze Rank in the 'Wild Throne,' he knew some inside information.

He was very clear that the upper echelons of his organization and the 'Fallen Abyss' were currently in conflict, seemingly fighting over some very important resource.

Even the recent battle between the Blood Clan and the Wolf Clan was reportedly related to this.

Back then, a Silver-tier player from the 'Wild Throne' had warned The Forger to be careful that someone might make a move against him.

But since everything had been quiet on his end, his vigilance had gradually faded.

He just never expected the 'Fallen Abyss' to be the type to not act until they were ready, and when they did strike, it was a killing blow.

Without Greenfield's warning, being caught off guard and dragged into a Civilization War would have put him in a very passive position.

These thoughts flashed through The Forger's mind.

He didn't panic. Instead, he continued to look at Greenfield's chat window.

Sure enough, not even two seconds later.

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: 『Fire-Spouting Lei Information』(Click to view details) This is the intel I have on Fire-Spouting Lei. Good luck, big spender!]

Only then did The Forger reveal a smile.

Greenfield might be greedy for money, but she did one thing very well: whenever she conducted a transaction, the service was absolutely impeccable. From emotional value to additional services, she made sure every deal left the customer satisfied.

That was also why The Forger valued Greenfield.

He believed that Greenfield and he were the same type of person—people who devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the things they loved.

Now that he had Fire-Spouting Lei's intel in hand, The Forger wasted no more time. He used the remaining time to contact people from the 'Wild Throne.'

Although Fire-Spouting Lei's ranking was higher than his, taking him down wouldn't be so easy.

"I hope Big Beard gets through this crisis smoothly. Ah, I'm so worried he won't make it, my big client."

Greenfield closed the chat window and let out a long, deep breath.

It seemed she had already forgotten how this inexplicable crisis for The Forger had even come about.

Her gaze had already landed on those 80 million survival points, a happy smile spreading across her face.

"Money money (Σ(ＴωＴ)) work hard--"

[Greenfield Cruise Ship: I've notified The Forger. All good!]

Yu Yuan looked at the message from Greenfield, a smirk curling at the corner of his mouth.

"I hope The Forger can keep Fire-Spouting Lei occupied for as long as possible. That'll give me time to develop as fast as I can."

During the duration of the [Celestial Phenomenon—Deviated Trajectory], Yu Yuan himself would also be in a state where he couldn't enter war.

The longer the war between The Forger and Fire-Spouting Lei lasted, the more development time it gave him.

The more advantageous it was for him.

Meanwhile, Jiu Feng, Hammond, Masier, and Miller had already received his message.

They were accelerating the progress of the research projects in their hands.

As long as the Bloodsucking Werewolf troops, the Antifreeze Agent, the Biological Alchemy Technology, and the Mechanical Armor all completed mass production or upgrades and iterations,

Yu Yuan had confidence that at that time, whether it was Fire-Spouting Lei or some Water-Spouting Gourd Baby, he'd destroy them all, one by one.

If they dared to bare their fangs, he'd beat the crap out of them.

Of course...

Yu Yuan's gaze turned toward the direction of Merry City.

The research on nuclear weapons was also a top priority.

"Time, time!"

This was a world without a sky, without a sun.

It was shrouded in eternal darkness. The only source of light in this world came from the fiery red magma that flowed endlessly in winding rivers across the earth.

Vroom—

The roar of an engine sounded.

A blazing war chariot, ten meters long and three meters high, drove across this land.

On the vehicle's body, figures like wandering souls and malevolent spirits howled and screamed. They appeared in every spot on the vehicle, constantly crowding and twisting.

They seemed to want to escape but were imprisoned by an invisible force.

On the doors, the hood, the wheels—it was as if the entire blazing war chariot was made entirely of these wandering souls and malevolent spirits.

Wisp of black energy rose up, coalescing into a massive black skeleton phantom that enveloped the blazing war chariot.

"The boundless horizon is my love..." A demon, with devil horns growing from its head and a body composed of flowing magma, flames, and obsidian, hummed a cheerful tune while casually looking at a Virtual Light Screen.

[Fire-Spouting Lei Highway Vehicle: Lord Artus, rest assured. I'll take down that Yu Yuan as quickly as possible. After all, he's one of the Wolf Clan's people. Now that the 'Fallen Abyss' and the 'Wild Throne' are inherently hostile, killing the Wolf Clan's prodigy is absolutely the right political move. There won't be any problems.

Even if the 'Wild Throne' people come after me, the 'Fallen Abyss' definitely won't just stand by and do nothing.]

[Fire-Spouting Lei Highway Vehicle: Just wait for my good news! But about that 'Ancient Demon Skull' you mentioned earlier... you know...]

A few seconds later, looking at the message Artus sent, Fire-Spouting Lei laughed.

"Ancient Demon Skull... I didn't expect Artus to have such a treasure... Right. Although the Ancient Demon Skull can enhance the strength of demon-type creatures, to other races, it's just an ornament."

He glanced at the Virtual Light Screen. The final countdown to the Civilization War had begun, and he sat up straight.

"Yu Yuan Shelter, consider yourself lucky for helping me secure the 'Ancient Demon Skull.' I'll make sure you die a quick death. Of course... I still need to absorb your soul. Soul crystals are an important source of income too... Hahaha."

[Player ID 'Fire-Spouting Lei Highway Vehicle' VS Player ID... Crackle... 'Yu Yuan Shelter'... Civilization War officially begins...]

The mechanical prompt sound echoed in Fire-Spouting Lei's ears.
