Chapter 1296: Exceeding Expectations

When the news reached Jiang Chen, it was already three o?clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Chen was also confused about how the players in Huo-region created a Seagull-class within 12 hours , Jiang Chen came to see Lilith who was lying on the sofa and observing each player, and asked her about it.

Lilith quickly answered his confusion.

?The player who built the first Seagull-class starship is the chairman of an online gaming club called ?Honor of Souls?. This club has been focusing on Future Technology games since its establishment four years ago. The club has more than a hundred employees and more than a thousand members. The club has been active since the earliest ?New Era? mobile game, and has grown to its current size, and even registered its own homepage and forum. ?

Jiang Chen immediately understood what had happened.

This situation was also common in other games. At the beginning of the game, everyone?s funds would be concentrated on a few core members. Then these members quickly leave ?turtorial island? and secure the top positions on the leaderboard. Once they?ve established their own clan, they would go back and give resources to the players who initially contributed to them.

In online games that emphasized economy and resources, such as Galaxy Edge, the benefits of being able to own a transport ship in the early stages were undoubtedly huge.

At this moment, no player had switched their profession to pirate, and trips between cities of the Earth Federation could easily accumulate a large amount of funds and continue to expand their advantages.

Although this play style would somewhat disrupt the game?s balance, it was within the allowable range of the game rules, so the operation team did not intervened.

?In fact, I had thought it was your ship.? Jiang Chen, who had understood what was going on, looked at Lilith on the sofa and joked.

?Participating from the beginning of the game would affect the balance too much. I will go in after half a year to see. Now I am focusing on Godly Land,? Lilith, with the helmet on, said emotionlessly.

Compared to being the number one player in the game or getting some kind of achievement, she emphasized on the game itself, especially the ?fun? of participating in human social activities. After all, monetary gains or personal honors were meaningless for an advanced artificial intelligence.

Simply put, her gaming attitude was more similar to casual players.

Except she was the ?overpowered? kind of casual player.

…

As of the morning of June 2nd, the operation department reported the data they had obtained.

On several well-known virtual product trading platforms around the world, the exchange rate between credit points used by Galaxy Edge and Xin New Dollars was almost speculated to a price of 50: 1, and often there was no supply.

Obviously, the millionaries and major professional clubs in the world were stimulated by the miracle of the Hua-region player who built the first Seagull-class starship in 12 hours. Therefore, they invested heavily in order to create their own first 500,000-ton starship.

In terms of players, the statistics reported by the operation department were much higher than Xia Shiyu?s prediction. The average daily number of online users worldwide exceeded more than 150 million.

The insights generated by the operation team?s analytics concluded that it may be related to the recent development of space resources, which happened to be a hot global topic.

After Jiang Chen told Lilith to oversee Galaxy Edge?s progress, he quickly refocused his work on Celestial Trade.

Just two days ago, a cargo ship full of arms had set off from Ange Island to Madagascar in southern Africa.

Since the fall of the Rothschild family, Madagascar?s political situation had been under the control of Celestial Trade.

At this moment, in the military base Celestial Trade had snatched from Arrow Company, more than 10,000 mercenaries of different skin colors had been assembled. These people were all outside of Celestial Trade?s establishment, however, they were considered Celestial Trade?s foreign reserve.

Celestial Trade?s regional influence had been gradually expanding since the Dnieper Offensive in Ukraine last year. Therefore, Celestial Trade can no longer use the name of a private military contractor as a cover for diplomatic immunity.

No one was stupid, and the international community gradually recognized Celestial Trade as the armed forces of Xin. Under such circumstances, if Celestial Trade decided to parachute soldiers with kinetic skeleton from the synchronous orbit to another country, it would have to withstand diplomatic and political pressure from the international community.

As a result, these non-staff personnel, who were originally regarded as reservists at foreign military bases, once again had a part to play.

These mercenaries were mostly African with a small number of white natives of Madagascar or South Africa. For those who were living below the poverty line, the citizenship of Xin and the official employee status of Celestial Trade were two things they dreamt of.

There were willing to risk their lives on their pursuit.

Although they were not protected by kinetic skeleton, and they could not use the Reaper assault rifle with superior functionality, the E-level genetic vaccine had already brought them a lot of advantages. Future Military had also designed some low-recognition but quite practical high-tech equipment for them to enhance their combat effectiveness and battlefield survivability.

The size of this unit was less than 20,000, and it usually appeared in hotspots around the world. It performed some dirty work that was not convenient for Celestial Trade?s regular army to execute.

For example, their next stop was Syria.

As an exchange of interests between Celestial Trade and Russia on South American issues, they did not need to abide by international law and humanitarianism. They would use the simplest and most straightforward methods to bring down extreme terrorists and less extreme opposition.

If they were unlucky, they might have to fight the Turkish army.

Of course, the unlucky ones were the Turkish army.

Inside the mansion?s study.

After Ayesha knocked on the door gently, she walked to Jiang Chen?s desk.

?Yerif asked when we would be ready to start, he is ready. A railway in northern Saudi Arabia can help transport our people and equipment to the Jordanian coast from the Red Sea coast. After entering eastern Jordan, there will be an arms dealer familiar with the local matter. He will guide us through the no-man?s land to southern Syria. ?

After he had put down the report on the Mars colony development, he looked to Ayesha, who was standing in front of his desk, thought for a moment, and then said,

?Tell him not to worry. Our people have already assembled in Madagascar. When the UA election enters its final stage, our people will board the ship and head to the Red Sea. By the end of the UA election, the new and old government will begin to transfer power, and we will have dealt with all of the troubles in Syria.?

Among all the options Jiang Chen could think of, this had the least impact on the situation.

If Kennedy Jr. was finally elected, the UA would willingly restore relations with Xin and join the Earth Defense Alliance unconditionally. He was also happy to let go of his past differences and set his sights on the longer-term future.

At that time, in order to minimize the differences between the two countries in international affairs, the best way was to solve the problems that were most likely to cause differences between before Mr. Kennedy Jr. completes the transfer of power…
