A movable defensive barrier? What a nice guy!

Wan Ye Wei Yu: "Warm Ocean Guild, the largest guild in South Korea's Jeju Island region. Due to the recent increase in taxes across South Korea, this guild seems to be trying to break away from South Korea."

This news made Qin Feng a little surprised: "Break away from South Korea? How do they plan to do that?"

Wan Ye Wei Yu immediately replied in a private message: "Their guild has all moved to a mobile Hideout. This Hideout is built on a ship, with a ship as its core structure… Currently, that Hideout is sailing away from the Jeju Island region, heading north. We don't know its destination yet."

Building a Hideout on a ship?

Qin Feng was a bit dumbfounded. The performers of this Warm Ocean Guild are truly talented.

With the Hideout built on a ship, they can completely sail away from South Korea, thus no longer being under the jurisdiction of South Korea.

"Is it Virginie's increased tax rate that's causing this guild to want to escape?"

"You're overthinking it."

Qin Feng smiled.

After all that, the reason was still because of him…

However, building a Hideout on a ship isn't an overnight task. It's clear that the performers of the Warm Ocean Guild must have been preparing this plan for a long time.

Of course.

This idea isn't too bizarre; in fact, many players could think of it.

If there were a mobile Hideout, wouldn't they be able to take the entire guild around to kill monsters?

After all, a Hideout is protected by a defensive barrier. Wouldn't it be wonderful to farm monsters from behind a defensive barrier?

But the reason almost no one implemented it is, naturally, because the feasibility is too low!

Mobile defensive barriers and ordinary defensive barriers are not the same thing. The ability to build mobile defensive barriers is only possessed by some special NPCs.

So, whether it's Qin Feng's memories from previous lives or the various NPC memories he has acquired, very few guilds have been able to build mobile Hideouts…

If the defensive barrier cannot move, then a mobile Hideout has no meaning.

"Does that mean this Warm Ocean Guild has now recruited an NPC who can build mobile defensive barriers?"

"What a good person! Isn't this sending me a mobile fortress?"

Qin Feng could only say that such an NPC, being recruited by the Warm Ocean Guild, was simply a waste of talent.

Because the defensive barrier of a mobile Hideout, once built, is not strong enough to pass through some dangerous areas within the game. Some dangerous areas in the game can even ignore defensive barriers!

For example…

Environmental disasters like 'ground fire eruptions' that Qin Feng had encountered before.

"Reality is fine; there are no environmental disasters, only some stray demonic creatures that have wandered into reality, which is relatively safer."

"But crossing regions within the game, how simple is that?"

Even Qin Feng, to cross regions within the game, had to develop for a considerable period before he could do so.

Generally speaking, if players want to cross game regions within the game, they either use teleportation arrays, or they first arrive at the target region in reality, then consume lifespan to forcibly 'transfer regions' from within the game.

But both of these methods are for 'players' to use.

A Hideout, even a mobile Hideout, naturally cannot pass through teleportation arrays, let alone 'transfer regions' through real-world areas.

It can only truly cross regions within the game by passing through various dangerous areas.

Therefore.

No matter where the Warm Ocean Guild wants to sail that ship, it's almost impossible to achieve. It's highly likely that the ship will be destroyed and everyone on board will perish midway.

What's more, this matter has now been noticed by Qin Feng!

"However, I still don't quite understand why they're recruiting female players from great xia?"

This matter, of course, didn't require Qin Feng to act personally.

He remained around Hei Bu Lin Da Li Zi, calmly farming monsters, and then sent a message to Virginie, asking her to go and check it out.

… …

Outside Jeju Island, South Korea.

On the boundless ocean, a giant stone ship was sailing north with unwavering determination.

Clearly, this giant stone ship could only be built using the construction methods within God Forsaken Game. It covered an area as large as several football fields, with residential areas, entertainment areas, combat readiness areas, warehouse areas, and everything else imaginable on board.

Around the stone ship, about three hundred meters away, there was a translucent defensive barrier that moved along with the ship as it advanced.

On the sea surface within the defensive barrier, there were many small reconnaissance boats, with many Warm Ocean Guild players on them, scouting the surrounding situation.

Suddenly.

On the deck of the giant stone ship, the guild's teleportation array lit up with streaks of white light. It was the guild's high-ranking members who had gone out to recruit people, returning with the female players they had recruited, using the teleportation array!

In addition to those recruited in Jianghai City, there were also players recruited in coastal areas like Magic City, Boning, and Yandao… totaling one to two hundred people.

And without exception, they were all female players, each attracted by their 'oppas'.

"From now on, everyone is a part of our Warm Ocean Guild."

"Now we are breaking away from South Korea, escaping all exploitation and oppression, and sailing freely on the ocean!"

"During this time, we can hunt demonic creatures in the sea, and the spoils of war will be equally distributed among the entire guild."

"Aside from the designated hunting times, at other times, everyone can just party on the ship."

Cui Zhengzhe, who had brought back several people, smiled and gathered the nearly two hundred female players.

After only a few words, he heard the female players cheering, with various shouts of 'oppa' and 'gege' echoing endlessly.

"I finally saw Zhengzhe Oppa, sniff sniff, so touching, Oppa even learned great xia language for us…"

"Finally escaped the terrible environment of the past, I like a fair environment!"

"Wow, we're actually sailing on the sea, and the defensive barrier can move with us, Oppas are so amazing!"

"This is great, from now on we'll be free, we can be with our brothers…"

The female players cheered and were also somewhat hostile towards each other.

Especially some of the more attractive female players were resented by many around them, for fear that they would hook up with the 'oppas' first…

Seeing the heated atmosphere, Cui Zhengzhe struck while the iron was hot: "Now we are sponsoring you, so please teleport over in reality as well. Since you have already joined our Warm Ocean Guild, you can directly teleport using a teleport stone."

These female players were already thinking the same thing, and since the teleport stone was sponsored by the guild, they praised the guild again, and their gazes towards Cui Zhengzhe became filled with fervent love…

They all began to look forward to a beautiful future.

The Warm Ocean Guild's ship had clearly been extracted into reality, and there were people in reality also sailing the ship, synchronously heading towards the deep sea areas in the north…

About an hour later.

Cui Zhengzhe and others confirmed through counting that all female players had teleported from reality to the guild's Hideout, which was this ship.

"To celebrate your joining, I invite everyone to have a drink."

Cui Zhengzhe and several other performers appeared together and began to toast with the female players.

The female players eagerly grabbed their wine glasses, each drinking and secretly exchanging glances…

But in just half a minute.

They all felt something was wrong!

Bang, bang, bang…

One by one, after drinking the beverage, they all fainted!

"Hahaha, they really are all pigs!"

"This Soul Wandering Water is really effective, it knocked them all out without missing a single one!"

"I was even prepared to cast a skill to forcibly control a few, smd…"

"Alright, alright, we've investigated these women, they have no relatives in great xia, and their relationship with the guild is also pretty average, so even if something happens here, no one will stand up for them."

"Stop arguing, we're about to enter a dangerous sea area soon. Bee guy, it's up to you."

At this moment, as all the female players fell down.

Their souls floated into the air beside them, listening to Cui Zhengzhe and other members of the Warm Ocean Guild chatting, and each of them felt as if struck by lightning!!

What… would happen to them?

Immediately after, a middle-aged man who looked like a murderer, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, walked out of the ship's cabin, casually waved his hand, and a group of black bees larger than humans were summoned by him!

Those bees had hard iron chains tied to their bodies, and soon each bee was tied to a female player's body.

Then, the bees flew into the sky, lifting the bodies of these one or two hundred female players, and flew several kilometers away from the stone ship!

Plop, plop…

The female players' bodies were suspended by the bees, scattered around the stone ship, and all were submerged in the seawater!

"This way, if there's danger from any direction, we'll know in advance and can change course!"

"Of course, if it were just like this, we wouldn't need to go through all the trouble of deceiving great xia women."

"After all, our defection this time might even cause the Moon Goddess to personally pursue us… Having these great xia women as our guild members, then even the Moon Goddess will definitely be wary, because provoking great xia means provoking Shadow!"

"And the current Moon Goddess certainly hasn't made plans to become hostile with Shadow."

Only then.

The female players whose souls had left their bodies, seeing their bodies submerged in the seawater several kilometers away, all turned ashen.

No matter how foolish they were, they surely understood.

They…

Had been tricked!

They had thought they were joining the guild, but they never expected to be used as bait to detect danger!
