Life Dungeon Game

Therefore, when He Ao raised the banner of Dawn, the fastest to react was not the research institute and the coastline defense team that cooperated with the research institute, but Dawn itself.

They will definitely send someone to find He Ao.

Because He Ao ruined their family's wealth.

Of course, there are certain risks involved in Heo carrying out this plan, risks that come from his real teammates—the research institute and the Coast Guard.

After all, the research institute didn't know he was one of their own.

.

The research institute is currently searching the world for Dawn, and suddenly someone appears claiming to be Dawn, acting so arrogantly. It's easy for the institute to be besiege him.

The Coast Guard is the enemy of the Free Marines, and the reunited Free Marine organization will hinder their efforts to encroach on Free Marine territory.

Therefore, He Ao will most likely be targeted by the research institute and the coastline defense force.

This is a risk he has to face.

That's why he sent Zuo Nuo to deliver that note to the leader of the Coast Guard.

-

Port of Norar

"This is the message our superiors asked me to bring you."

Zuo Nuo, who had just stepped off the helicopter, looked at the red-haired man in front of him with a restrained expression.

He had just entered the Coast Guard's territory, saying he was going to relay a message to the Coast Guard's leader on behalf of Dawn, when he was immediately transported here by helicopter overnight.

The red-haired man, with a thick beard and sharp eyes, glanced at the note in his hand and smiled.

“Your master wants the former Free Marine’s property, I can give it to him. In addition, I can also give him two factories, a special trading license, and a cargo ship.”

The red-haired man was none other than Nank, the leader of the Coast Guard.

"what?"

Upon hearing Nan Ke's words, Zuo Nuo was first taken aback, then looked somewhat bewildered.

After he arrived, Nanke only asked about Heo's appearance and what Heo had done the night before, and then gave away so many properties and some other things as a bonus.

This really seems like a chance to make a fortune?

"You were managing these businesses for Balan before, weren't you?" Nanke ignored Zuo Nuo's response and waved his hand. "Since there's no one to manage these businesses, you can temporarily manage them for your masters here."

After saying that, he had Zuo Nuo sent away.

Zuo Nuo realized he had been taken hostage, but he couldn't say anything and could only obediently follow the Coast Guard.

He was prepared to be left behind when he arrived.

After all, there are great risks involved in such interactions between hostile forces as an envoy.

However, living as a special administrator in Port Noral was certainly much more comfortable than being under house arrest, and his income was not low either; Heo's words about getting rich were not a lie.

After Zuo Nuo was sent away, Nan Ke's gaze returned to the note in front of him.

The note contained nothing complicated; it was just a simple sentence.

I lost contact with Dawn, so I came up with this plan to find her. If you don't want to run into trouble, give me the assets that the Free Marines used to own.

At this moment, an adjutant next to Nanke cautiously approached and asked in a low voice, "General, why should we give those properties back to them for nothing?"

Nan Ke glanced at his adjutant, knowing that the adjutant also coveted those industries. He calmly said, "That Hu Wen himself has no organizational ability; he is just a ruthless executioner. Therefore, his power is not a threat, but we need to be wary of him personally."

Would you want a ruthless, C-level killer to suddenly appear in your hometown one day?

The adjutant seemed to recall that scene, and gently wiped the sweat from his brow.

Nanke turned around and continued to explain, "These are all 'products'"

The key to industry isn't who it belongs to, but whose territory it's on. As long as this is still our territory, these industries won't be lost.

Then he picked up the slip of paper in his hand and said, "Give this paper to the research institute."

-

The note He Ao wrote was actually very simple.

The first two sentences describe the cause and effect, saying that he lost contact with Dawn, so he came up with this method to find Dawn. The subtext is that he has no intention of competing for power with the Coast Guard.

The last two sentences are a threat.

The research institute has detailed information on Hu Wen, and given what He Ao did last night, they can easily connect He Ao with that ruthless bandit who has become obsessed with killing.

A lone traveler in the C category who doesn't follow the rules and uses ruthless methods is terrifying.

So the last two sentences mean that if you don't want me to do anything reckless, then give me money.

The meaning of this passage is very straightforward, but different people will have different interpretations, and those who believe it and those who do not will have completely different understandings.

He Ao's four sentences were actually written for two different groups of people.

The latter two sentences were intended for the Coast Guard, and He Ao had checked the information about this leader, Nanke, on the research institute's intranet.

He was the only one among all the chaotic warlords of Alano who pursued peace and stability, and many of his actions proved that he would cherish the lives of the common people of Alano and would not wantonly plunder and kill.

Of these warlords, he was the only one who realized that 'the income from complete and stable trade is safer and more sustainable than that from plunder'.

Whether he genuinely wanted to protect the people of Alano or simply wanted to maintain a stable environment to make more money, he wouldn't rashly offend a dangerous Class C.

Therefore, he will definitely agree to He Ao's request, giving him money and goods, and even more assets, in order to stabilize He Ao.

Then they awaited the final results from the research institute. After all, the research institute and Dawn had a grudge, and He Ao's arrogance would inevitably attract the institute's attention.

Whether He Ao is killed or expelled by the research institute, it will be difficult for him to regain control of these industries.

After all, what He Ao wanted and what he gave He Ao were mostly fixed assets, giving him absolute control over his territory.

This was exactly what He Ao wanted. The reason He Ao didn't want cash and portable jewelry, but rather industry, was to keep Nan Ke in check, to make him feel that things were under his control, and to make him wait for the research institute's results.

Anyway, it seems he won't lose out no matter what.

Meanwhile, He Ao's first two sentences were written for the research institute to see.

'I lost contact with Dawn, so I devised this plan to find her.'

Saying someone is out of contact doesn't necessarily mean they are truly out of contact.

Yang De was rough around the edges but shrewd; his first reaction upon seeing this sentence would only be, "There's a trap here."

Hu Wen is a cautious person, so why would he suddenly appear and make such a big show of trying to attract Li Ming's attention?

This looks like a trap set by Dawn to ambush the research institute.

The research institute had already been targeted by Dawn. If it weren't for He Ao, Yang De might have died on the cruise ship. So when he encounters this kind of trap that is difficult to distinguish between reality and illusion again, he will definitely hold back for the first time, gather his men, and launch a counter-ambush.

Gathering manpower takes time.

As a result, the research institute and the coast guard were bogged down by these simple four sentences.

In this brief lull, dawn was enough time for He Ao to come looking for him.

What is virtual is real, what is real is virtual.

He was not lying; his goal was indeed dawn.

When the sun was high in the sky, around eight or nine in the morning Alano time, with only a few hours left before the next dungeon opened, Heo's main body was attending evening classes in the classroom.

A pirate ran into the mayor's office, waking Heo from his deep thoughts.

"My lord, a guest requests an audience."

Later today, I'll post two updates totaling over 6,000 words. Please vote!

I have some things to do at home today, so I might not be able to update until tomorrow noon. Everyone, please get some rest tonight.

Chapter 334 The Empire of Tia and Alano (Long Chapter, Please Add to Favorites and Subscribe)

Tonight's evening lesson is "International Relations in Ocean Diplomacy".

It is an elective course.

The large classroom, which could seat two hundred people, was bustling with activity.

He Ao was still in the corner on the edge, with some blank space around him.

However, Xidu University is very large, and not everyone has heard of He Ao's reputation, so there were still a few people sitting around him.

Liu Nan and Yuan Nannan sat next to He Ao.

The lecturer on the stage was a highly respected senior professor in the field of international relations. At this moment, he was calmly lecturing on the topic of the lesson: "The Influence of the Tia Empire on China's Long-Distance Diplomatic Relations".

This class is very popular among students at Xidu University, not only because the professor's lectures are easy to understand and his academic expertise is very high, but more importantly, because the professor does not give exams, only essays at the end of the semester, and he gives very high grades.

Liu Nan looked at He Ao beside her with some curiosity. In the past, when she attended classes with He Ao, He Ao was always able to concentrate on listening to the lectures.

These past two days, He Ao seems to have been a bit... distracted?

Liu Nan shifted her gaze to the old professor on the podium, who was currently lecturing on the diplomatic philosophy of the Tia Empire.

"The Empire of Tia is separated from the Central Plains by a vast ocean. The empire occupies an entire new continent, surrounded only by a few scattered island nations."

The Tia Empire regarded these countries as its exclusive domain and would not allow others to interfere.

They extracted the greatest benefits for their empire by manipulating the political structures of these small countries.

The most typical example is Alarno, a republic consisting of a large island and many smaller islands. It has abundant oil resources on its land and in its territorial waters, and its oil reserves account for 10% of the world's total.

These oil resources are controlled by the multinational corporations of the Tia Empire…

Naya Town

He Ao stared at the special visitor before him. He had expected the visitor to come, but he hadn't expected that the visitor would arrive even before dawn.

The person in front of me had golden curly hair, fair skin, and a long, hooked nose, completely different from the native race of Alano.

The other person was dressed in a sharp suit and appeared very polite.

Around Alano, there is only one place where such a race exists: the Tia Empire.
