Chapter 1326 - Maritime Road

[Swordsman’s Proof]: Rare tool which allows the user the rights to become a Swordsman.

“What?! For real?!”

Everyone was dumbfounded at how affluent these three pirate heads were. They were basically queuing up to give away hidden branch jobs.

From the way Zorro fought, it wasn’t hard to tell that Swordsman was a Warrior’s hidden branch job with slightly more agility.

Agile moves had always been the most elegant and most popular among players. As for sword related weapons, basically everyone would want one if they could.

It couldn’t be helped because in the country, whether it was in movies or comics, 90% of the main characters would use a sword. If you carried a pole and walked on the street, people would be embarrassed to even say hi to you.

Even though the most popular job in <<REBIRTH>> was Assassin, the majority of players would still choose to carry a sword on their back. Even if it was just a display, they would still look pretty dashing.

Therefore, a Swordsman job change proof was worth a lot… Regardless of how good it was, it was definitely exceedingly attractive and in this day and age, being attractive was undoubtedly the most important.

In Quan Zhen Sect, there were only two players who were Warriors: Boson and Crotch Lord.

As a Weapons Master, Boson did seem more like a Swordsman than Crotch Lord. Moreover, Boson had already learnt the ultimate moves of a Warrior, [Mountain and Earth Shattering Strike] as well as [Broken Army Rising Dragon Slash]. He was basically the most suitable for this job change.

Naturally, Crotch Lord wanted to experience the feeling of being a hidden branch player but he also knew that a squad must definitely have a Guardian amongst then. Moreover, if Crotch Lord changed his job, it would mean that he had to give up on his Shield of God.

The Shield of God was a God-grade equipment. Crotch Lord had to be a fool to give up a God-grade equipment for a hidden branch job with unknown potential.

Unsurprisingly, the job change letter was taken away by Boson.

Perhaps the two hidden branch proof used up all their luck because the remaining items were extremely average. It seemed like even the system wouldn’t dare to give a Level 60 BOSS too many good items.



While the Quan Zhen Sect’s players were splitting the loots, the players from Void Blade had just finished killing all the pirates.

At this point, a row of announcement flashed across the sky.

<System Announcement: Twilight City’s City Lord, Iron Bull, led his squad to obliterate the pirates of Harbor City to regain control over Harbor City and recovered the shipping route across the ocean. His glorious achievements shall go down in the annals of history.>

The announcement was repeated thrice up in the sky.

Ever since the professional tournament, Wang Yu’s reputable name had been spreading widely across <<REBIRTH>>. Upon seeing this news, nobody was particularly surprised.

After all, this was the man who had produced miracles over and over again. Even if one day the system announced that he had slaughtered the God of Creation, nobody would be too surprised.

What everyone was interested in was, however, the shipping route mentioned by the system.

After the game’s update, data of the entire world merged but everyone had no clues on how to travel to other continents. Could this shipping route be the route to other continents?



Just as everyone was wondering about it, Wang Yu and the rest received a system notification: Your current squad completed hidden City Lord Quest ‘Wall in Danger’ ‘Second Phase’ ‘Pirate King’ Quest Grade A, obtain experience points… Main City honoured experience points… Main City’s fame… Development of west side +100.

Looking at the rewards of the quest, Captain Don’t Open Fire couldn’t help but reveal an incredibly wide smile.

Everything might not matter that much but this city development was real.

From the start of the war until the end, it took a total of 37 minutes. Just like what Fearless said, he ended the war in less than 40 minutes. In a single war, they managed to take down 50 thousand men and received countless rewards.

Captain Don’t Open Fire was entirely convinced by Fearless’ tactics so he came straight towards Fearless to hand him double the rewards as promised. He said, “Boss Fearless, I admire and respect you for everything. In the future, if you have any other good plans, please think of me!”

“Great! Great!” Fearless shook his hands as he smiled.



“Tsk, tsk, tsk… You will suffer the wrath of karma!”

Wang Yu commented as he watched Captain Don’t Open Fire turned and walked away while Fearless smiled in such a wretched manner.

What was a swindler? The greatest achievement of a swindler was to not say a single sentence of lies, wait for the opposition to work for him, get paid for it and even beg him to cheat him a few more times… It is incredible.

“F*ck!” Fearless replied disdainfully, “One is willing to hit while the other is willing to be beaten up. Moreover, this is ultimately your quest and this is all we get for rewards? Don’t tell me we were really working for Void Blade?”

The west side of the city belonged to Void Blade. If after all these troubles and all they got was the development in this part of the city, wouldn’t they be really working for Captain Don’t Open Fire?

“No way!” Wang Yu chuckled as he displayed the rewards he received from the system.

Other than the 100 construction points, Wang Yu also received 50 City Lord prestige and also a token.

Lord of the Ocean: The person with this token is the lord of the ocean and is equipped with the authority to adjust the taxation of the ocean routes.

Maritime Road: A connecting road which connects Brave Continent to the other continents. Current taxation: 10%.



“F*ck! Old Bull, you’re going to strike rich this time!”

After clicking on the attributes of the token, the Quan Zhen Sect took in a deep breath of cold air.

It seemed like everyone’s guess was right. The ocean route was indeed the route connecting to the other continents. With the authority to control this route, it was truly an impressive feat.

One must know that there were over billions of players in the entire <<REBIRTH>> while there was only this route which connected to the other continents.

In <<REBIRTH>>, the transportation fees were directly proportional to the distance travelled. The further the distance, the higher the road tax. Therefore, one could imagine the distance between continents.

If one transport cost 50 gold, 10% tax meant 5 gold… If over 10,000 players travel per day, that is 50,000 gold, which is equivalent to over 60,000 RMB. It was not a small sum of money.

Not only that, because now that Harbor City belonged to Wang Yu, it was bound to return to its prosperous days once the shipping route opened up.

Once there was an inflow of people, there would be more demand and it was only reasonable to foresee Harbor City to be a popular commercial trading harbour. Besides collecting tax, the rents to set up stalls in such places wouldn’t be cheap too.



Wang Yu was not a person who was greedy for money but it wasn’t something he would reject.

After being reminded by the Quan Zhen Sect, even a person like Wang Yu couldn’t help but reveal a genuine smile once he thought of the future inflow of money.

It was truly great to become a City Lord…



After Harbor City was taken down, it was turned into Twilight City’s subsidiary as they started delivering to Twilight City.

Once the quest was completed, Captain Don’t Open Fire couldn’t wait to take a look at his newly +100 district. Therefore, he left after bidding goodbye to Wang Yu and the rest.

Wang Yu and the rest of the Quan Zhen Sect followed the system reminder as they arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion to take over the new main city.
