Chapter 253: I've made the bragged‑about NB come true

Shuigu Tang's suggestion is absolutely the safest method; Chen Shicheng cannot deny this.

But the problem now is that behind the Japanese pirates landing there is definitely profit to be made; pulling in the people from the trading gathering is no big deal, after this incident they have already become Chen Shicheng's accepted own people.

But other players are absolutely not okay; once there are many people it will become chaotic, and accidents will inevitably arise.

Moreover, the most crucial point is that he really doesn't trust players much; if they come, the fate of those fishing villages could be no different from the Japanese pirates' rampage. This isn't him overthinking—public testing hasn't been long, and although players have accepted the wonder of Mountains and Seas Deification, the vast majority still retain the habits of computer games.

Random jumping and scrambling around are still minor things; the worry is that some players might plant flags and brawl in the fishing village.

These people's skill levels are not high; not only can they not control the power of their skills, they also can't aim well, and a moment's inattention can send their attacks off course.

If they hit a building or something, that's still okay to explain, but if they hurt a person, it would really be impossible to justify.

So, even if Shuigu Tang's suggestion is very safe, Chen Shicheng cannot possibly accept it.

In that case, he can only focus his plans on the upcoming Pioneers and the guild president sitting over there.

"Hahaha, my people haven't caused any trouble for Zishu Dada, have they?"

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.

Just as Chen Shicheng was still considering how to rope these people in, a puff of black mist rose again from the Yánluó Statue.

Then, four people walked out of the mist; Jiuyou walked ahead without hesitation, and the two people behind him, whom I hadn't seen before, could be told by their positions to certainly be Pioneers.

On the left was a man in his thirties, wearing a scholar's robe, looking refined and of extraordinary bearing; on the right was a young woman in her early thirties, with a seductive, alluring look, very sexy, so much that even Chen Long's eyes stared a bit.

The one walking last was that young man who had met once in reality; after being teleported over, he didn't dare to look at Chen Shicheng's side, running all the way to Dong Can's side, constantly nibbling his ear.

Jiuyou first gave Chen Shicheng a glance, then brought the man and woman behind him to Chen Long's front, patted his shoulder, and said, "You did well, but could you please come down first?"

Chen Long blinked, then hurriedly, embarrassed, jumped down from Tianzi's back, scratching the back of his head and laughing hehe.

Of course, he was just a little embarrassed, with Zishu Dada still standing behind him; he no longer regarded the Pioneers at all.

The man in the scholar's robe seemed not to mind his actions, turning to the woman beside him and saying, "Xingzi, go heal Tianzi a bit."

The woman nodded, gave Tianzi on the ground a look of contempt, and kept applying healing skills to stabilize his condition.

The man then walked up to Dong Can, glanced at the unfazed Chen Shicheng, and said, "The trouble is your doing; you handle it yourself. As for the guild affiliation matter, contact Xingzi later."

Dong Can sighed inwardly; sure enough, in conflicts between big shots, the final blame still falls on someone like him at the bottom.

But what can be done? He can't afford to offend Zishu, let alone the Pioneers; fortunately, the big shot also gave him some sweetener, at least settling the guild affiliation issue.

Under Jiuyou's leadership, the two of them walked together up to Chen Shicheng's front.

"Don't pull a long face—I nonstop arranged a meeting with the Pioneers' people and got things settled for you." Jiuyou said with a smile.

"The Pioneer organization is so NB, not even giving face to the C City Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department; they say 'continue' and just continue, you stepping in works—don't think it's a stalling tactic, later they'll stab me in the back." Chen Shicheng looked at Dong Can with an expression of disbelief, saying, "President Dong, you agree, right?"

Dong Can's face was full of bitterness, but he had no choice; he bowed deeply to Chen Shicheng and said, "Zishu Dada, earlier I was blinded by petty greed; please, sir, don't hold a small person's fault against me."

"Don't even know who to apologize to."

Chen Shicheng didn't even look at him, coldly cutting him off, walked straight up behind Shuigu Tang and the two unlucky newcomers who had been chased, pushed them forward, and said, "The main culprit is here; say what you just said again."

Shuigu Tang's trio also didn't expect Chen Shicheng to let them step out; each one excited, face flushed red, panting, they stared at the person before them who had chased them—a heaven‑unreachable villain.

What does "raising one's brows and exhaling" mean?

This is it!

Hugging this thigh is really comfortable!

Dong Can's expression grew more bitter; he could only endure the humiliation, bowed to the three, and said, "Sirs, you are magnanimous; earlier I was blinded by petty greed, I am willing to compensate you."

While saying that, he swiftly took out all the good things from his storage basket and floated them before the three using True Essence.

Among them were plenty of natural treasures that could increase attributes.

"Hehe."

Chen Shicheng snorted a few times, turned to look at the three indifferent ones, and said, "You decide what to do with these things; don't finish taking them and then have someone post online accusing us of using power to oppress and extort— that charge would be huge."

"No way, we're not that kind of people, absolutely not!"

Shuigu Tang's trio hastily expressed their stance: "Big shot, even if you casually leak a bit of stuff, we can all reach the Zifu Realm; we don't care about these trifles."

If half an hour ago this stuff had been placed before them, they wouldn't need an apology and could instantly forgive Dong Can; even giving him the Token Fragment would be no matter.

But Zishu Dada had already given them natural treasures usable up to the Zifu Realm and let them vent their spite; at this point how could they possibly covet such a small advantage?

"How dare I accuse you of extortion? Zishu Dada, you're joking—absolutely impossible." Dong Can himself hadn't even thought of that.

Especially after hearing the conversation between Zishu and Shuigu Tang's trio, his face burned even hotter.

Yeah, Zishu Dada, a top‑tier big shot who's on such good terms with the Iron Blood Great Wall, how could he possibly shortchange his own people, or even look down on this measly bit of junk of ours?

"All they want is face! 'Pack up your stuff, scram, your business ends here; afterwards it's the Pioneers' problem, nothing to do with you.' Chen Shicheng said lightly."

"Thank you, big shot, thank you, big shot."

Dong Can knew that this catastrophe of his was over; thereafter nothing would have anything to do with someone like him who carries the blame, and it was absolutely not something his small stature could get involved in.

"Losing face is losing face; anyway, having already connected with the Pioneers, later we just watch the show." (End of chapter)
