"This is a military camp, unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering."
Seeing an old man walking toward them, the guard quickly shouted loudly.
Today the City Lord is here, we must perform well.
Before the old man could speak, Lin Feng, wearing Black Dragon Scale Armor and towering in stature, passed through the camp gate and approached the old man.
Stand at attention, salute.
The guard turned pale with fright, not daring to speak.
Watching Lin Feng salute, Lu Jingfeng was somewhat puzzled; he had never seen this kind of saluting method before.
He looked towards the ordinary-looking old man at the gate, an old man with thin spiritual power, deeply surprised. Who exactly was this weak old man? Why would a captain of the Black Dragon Corps salute him?
Lin Yuan returned the salute to Lin Feng, and although his hair was gray, his aura was not at all inferior to Lin Feng's Qi Cultivation Realm.
Even Lu Jingfeng couldn't muster such an aura.
"General Lin, welcome back," Lin Feng said.
"General Lin, welcome back!" shouted three hundred cavalrymen.
General! Lu Jingfeng was shocked. Regardless of the general's position, his power must surely be above the Core Formation Realm. How could the elderly man in front of him with only Qi Cultivation Realm cultivation exist?
Could he be a general whose cultivation was damaged in a great battle and was now secluded in Beifeng City?
Lin Yuan was also somewhat emotional. "I didn't expect the nation still has need of me, nor did I expect this old fellow, half-buried in the ground, to lead troops into battle again."
Lin Feng silently watched his grandfather with emotion.
Lin Yuan certainly had a hard time, a man nearing a hundred years old, yet still had to don armor and enter the battlefield.
The nation appointed Lin Yuan to command the army in the game, considering his rich combat experience, especially in close-quarters combat, which was exactly the opposite of the combat experience needed in reality.
There were indeed very few old generals like him, who could still move and maintain clear minds.
The nation would not let these meritorious old generals be insecure even in their later years; Lin Yuan unintentionally entered the Divine Martial Realm, so he received a temporary urgent appointment.
After calming down, Lin Feng said, "Grandpa, can I meet the Lu Yu you mentioned?"
"Why are you looking for him?"
"Isn't it to get some equipment for the brothers? Although the Black Dragon Army's equipment is top-notch, it doesn't hurt to carry a few more life-saving items. I heard that Lu Yu has connections with the Divine Weapon Pavilion, and I want him to place an order in the Divine Weapon Pavilion," Lin Feng explained.
"He is not in Beifeng City, I'll communicate with him about this matter," Lin Yuan said.
The Black Dragon Army's equipment was manufactured by the Celestial Craft Bureau of the Great Zhou Dynasty, different from the equipment made by the Divine Weapon Pavilion. The Celestial Craft Bureau's equipment was all standardized, designed to enhance the army's combat power, mostly biased towards offense.
The defensive items were only armor, and while of good quality, don't even think about equipping Spiritual Treasures for defense in bulk; the Celestial Craft Bureau didn't have that production capability.
Every year's discarded and replaced equipment took up 60% of the Celestial Craft Bureau's production capacity.
Of course, the Black Dragon Army could also place orders directly with the Divine Weapon Pavilion, but with their numbers exceeding a million, there simply wouldn't be enough allocation for people like Lin Feng, so they had to find equipment for themselves.
Just by chance, they heard that Lu Yu also supported gold coin payments, and with the backing of the state, as long as Lu Yu could provide them, Lin Feng could purchase them.
He wanted to equip his soldiers with life-saving Spiritual Treasures because of an event that happened six months ago - a malicious incident with red-name players.
In the official leading, they mobilized capable players to finally suppress Iron Tomb.
Iron Tomb was severely weakened, turning from overt to covert.
After months of laying traps, the state captured many Iron Tomb members in reality, thus obtaining a large number of Divine Martial Realm loggers.
Lin Feng and others only entered the game six months ago.
Their ability to enter the game was partly because the suppression event had inflicted heavy casualties on the state's personnel in-game, requiring new recruits, and partly due to acquiring more loggers, increasing the game-entering quota.
But so far, who exactly is the leader of Iron Tomb? Where is he located? The state still doesn't know.
Let alone outsiders, even a few elders of Iron Tomb didn't know who their leader was. They only had talks with the leader across space, never meeting him in person.
If it weren't for Iron Tomb suddenly receiving support from unknown masters at critical moments, the elders of Iron Tomb would have already ditched the unknown leader and seized control themselves.
The state once considered requisitioning the loggers from the public, but due to some events, it was left unresolved.
Lin Feng came quickly and left just as quickly, taking Lin Yuan swiftly out of Beifeng City.
As for the trouble caused by them shouting "General," it wasn't a big deal; there were stronger existences above Lin Yuan who would suppress this issue.
Actually, if it weren't for Lin Yuan being his grandfather and him volunteering, it should have been someone else who came since his strength was still a bit weak.
...
Lu Yu received a message from Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan did not use the nation's name to pressure Lu Yu but just mentioned that someone wanted to collaborate with him, hoping to use his Divine Weapon Pavilion disciple status to order some defensive Spiritual Treasures from the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
Transactions could be settled in RMB.
Although Lin Yuan didn't know why Lu Yu wanted so much money, from several transactions, Lu Yu's craving for RMB was greater than for Gold Coins and Spirit Stones.
Lu Yu was certainly willing to expand the market, but the problem was he was subject to purchase limits. Even if the other party was willing to settle in RMB, Lu Yu couldn't provide the corresponding equipment.
He could only first reply to Lin Yuan, saying he must discuss with his senior brother.
In the short term, Lu Yu couldn't reply to Lin Yuan's message. The last time his shop permissions were upgraded was when Body Refinement broke into Qi Cultivation. Lu Yu could only see if the purchase limit would disappear after he broke through to Breathing Qi Realm.
A lesson learned was the Thunder Tremor — initially limited to one per day — its restriction disappeared after his breakthrough, so he didn't stockpile thunder.
Because he was carrying tens of thousands of pounds of items, Lu Yu's movement speed slowed; it took him a whole day, reaching Yunhai City by dusk.
Looking at Yunhai City appearing before him, Lu Yu felt it was quite dreamlike.
The setting sun painted the sea red, and Yunhai City sat amidst a red sea of sunset, making the entire city seem ablaze.
The name Yunhai City was derived from the thick water vapor every morning, with white mist covering the entire city like clouds.
A city of more than three thousand square kilometers, floating on the sea.
This was Yunhai City.
To enter Yunhai City, you either cross a cloud bridge or take a boat.
Lu Yu stepped onto the cloud bridge; the cloud bridge was made of a certain solid white rock, fifty meters wide and fifteen kilometers long, connecting the land and Yunhai City.
When he stepped onto the bridge, Lu Yu was afraid he might break it, but once he stepped on it, he felt the cloud bridge was unbreakable.
There is also a saying that the cloud bridge is actually the rope for Yunhai City, fixed to the land to prevent the city from drifting away.
This originated from a legend that Yunhai City was built on the back of a sleeping divine turtle.
A divine turtle with a diameter of sixty kilometers? Lu Yu thought the floating island theory was more reliable.
"Senior sister, I've reached Yunhai City."
