I Carry a Game World With Me

Chapter 218: Chapter 201: Everyone Was Shocked

When Dais saw the news, she didn’t say much. She simply adjusted the position of the story about the Xuanfeng Alliance’s founding, moving it to an obscure corner.

Leaving the story up would still let people have a look for the entertainment value.

At the same time, various media outlets around the world received the news.

Feisen had been one of the leaders of the Kurdar Clan. He and his brother sold weapons, so they naturally had contact with people from all over the world. They had the necessary channels, so asking them to disseminate the news was no problem at all.

In China!

Qingfeng Network Company.

Wang Kai beamed as he looked over the latest statistics.

The registered user count for the Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant had surpassed 400 million, putting it increasingly close to Penguin and Douyin.

In terms of user stickiness and concurrent online users, it was already approaching the levels of those two companies.

Lately, the internet had been flooded with reports about Qingfeng Network Company.

Its position as one of the three internet giants was now firmly established.

The company’s recruitment ads at various universities were now attracting a flood of master’s and doctoral students eager to join. After all, everyone knew the company was on the same level as Penguin, and as a newly developing company, it offered far more opportunities.

It was the perfect time to absorb new talent.

People online were even saying that President Lu was poised to become the country’s next richest person.

And this wasn’t just baseless speculation.

After all, the renowned Boss Ma only owned a little over 8% of Penguin’s shares, and he frequently topped the list of the country’s wealthiest people.

President Lu, on the other hand, owned 100% of Qingfeng Network Company.

Crucially, President Lu had also said that if the company continued to develop well, he would reward Wang Kai with 5% in stock options.

As long as Qingfeng Network Company’s development went smoothly, reaching the same level as Penguin was a certainty. In fact, with the power of the Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant Software, it could very well surpass Penguin entirely.

’At that point, what’s the real difference between 5% and 8%?’

This thought filled him with immense motivation.

He was so concerned that his own abilities might be limited that while handling company affairs, he had also enrolled in several business management courses.

Wang Kai had just finished with a document when he received an email.

He opened it immediately.

It was from President Lu.

The email’s contents made him pause.

President Lu wanted him to publish an announcement about the founding of a new nation.

Wang Kai muttered in surprise, "Xuanfeng Alliance? Don’t tell me this has something to do with President Lu. Has he started playing those games rich foreigners play?"

He’d seen plenty of news stories about foreign tycoons founding their own countries for fun. After all, even the world-famous billionaire Musk had entertained the idea of starting his own nation.

But as he read the announcement carefully, he realized this was something else entirely.

Over 50,000 square kilometers of territory.

’This...’

Playing the "found a country" game couldn’t possibly involve an area this large.

Take Tianzhou City, for example. It was already considered one of the largest first-tier cities in the country, yet all its administrative districts combined were just over 10,000 square kilometers.

In other words, the Xuanfeng Alliance was the size of five Tianzhou Cities.

Abroad, in some smaller countries, an area this size could be divided into more than ten provinces.

A total military force of 15,000!

"?????" Wang Kai was utterly stunned.

This wasn’t some game of nation-building; this was a real country.

After a moment of thought, Wang Kai immediately called in a manager from the news department and had them disseminate the story.

Whatever the case, President Lu’s orders had to be carried out first.

Before long, the news was pushed as a recommendation to all users of the Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant Software.

Wan Gu was one such user of the Qingfeng Intelligent Assistant Software.

Wan was a rather uncommon surname.

As a result, his name always garnered him a bit of attention.

He got up from his computer and picked up his phone. A beautiful woman in a sexy nightgown with a stunning figure immediately appeared on the screen.

"Darling, are you done with work?" the alluring woman on the phone greeted him with a radiant smile.

"Hey, wifey, your hubby’s all done with work. Time to get you undressed!" Wan Gu said, tapping furiously at his phone screen. His virtual wife giggled in response.

The Qingfeng Intelligent Software really was easy to use, fun, and interesting...

At first, he had been a bit embarrassed, but the more he used it, the more he let his inhibitions go.

Just then, his virtual wife said, "Darling, I have some interesting news for you. A new nation was established today, called the Xuanfeng Alliance. The Xuanfeng Alliance has over 50,000 square kilometers of territory and an army of 15,000..."

Wan Gu’s curiosity was piqued.

He didn’t know anything about rich people playing at nation-building. To him, the founding of a nation was a monumental event.

At that same moment, countless people across the country learned of this news.

This was Qingfeng Network’s method of disseminating news. Compared to older, traditional methods, it was absolutely revolutionary and much more readily accepted by users.

Companies like Penguin and other internet firms would use forced pop-ups, making you watch an ad or video for a set number of seconds. It was obnoxious and off-putting.

As a result, companies like Penguin were now all trying to copy this method. Unfortunately, without such an advanced intelligent software, their attempts were clumsy imitations that fell far short of the original.

Everyone could see this was a future trend in advertising, yet no one could seem to replicate it.

Naturally, countless people learned about the Xuanfeng Alliance at the same time. The story shot to the top of the day’s trending news, sparking a wave of discussion:

"This Xuanfeng Alliance is pretty badass! The news says it’s located somewhere on the border between places like Myanmar and Ba Country!"

"That area is extremely chaotic, so it’s not surprising that someone would establish a country there. Wasn’t there another case of a resistance army founding a nation not too long ago?"

"An army of 15,000 soldiers... that’s no ordinary armed force. There are a few small nations allied with our country whose entire armies are only slightly larger than that."

"I did some research, and I have to tell you guys, the place where the Xuanfeng Alliance is located is no joke. It seems like it used to be the stronghold for several major arms-dealing factions."

"The area is called Shidala Town, and it’s supposedly leagues more dangerous than the Golden Triangle..."

News about Dalat Town quickly spread far and wide.

It could be said that the more people discussed it, the more curious they became about the Xuanfeng Alliance.

Naturally, officials within the country also took notice of the news. After all, Dalat Town was located just a few borders away.

It seemed like there were two countries in between.

But compared to the sheer size of their own nation, the territory occupied by those smaller countries seemed negligible, meaning the distance wasn’t great at all.

Now, with the addition of the Xuanfeng Alliance, it was possible there would be new influences and changes to the region.

Likewise, the nations surrounding the lawless region of Dalat Town also received the message sent by Feisen.

They, too, learned that the lawless zone on their borders had been unified, and that someone had established the Xuanfeng Alliance there.

It instantly caused a massive uproar.

Myanmar, inside the President’s Mansion.

Yong Min received the news first thing in the morning in his office.

He was taken aback. "The Dalat Town region has been unified? Which faction managed to do it?"

The Kudar Clan, the Dada Clan, the Bubur Clan, the Philinda Clan, and all the other factions, large and small—the surrounding nations all had files on them.

Every country had been keeping a close eye on the lawless zone of Dalat Town. Its vast area was the very reason it had served so well as a buffer zone between nations.

The region was notoriously chaotic, with no shortage of conflicts between the various nations.

It wasn’t as if no country had ever coveted Dalat Town, with its vast territory. But the factions within were remarkably united against outsiders. Any nation that tried to intervene feared investing too much military strength only to get bogged down. Furthermore, the area was simply too chaotic, making development impossible without first establishing stability.

The surrounding nations were not particularly powerful or wealthy, and couldn’t afford such a costly endeavor.

Unless, of course, the factions of Dalat Town ceased to be united and went to war with each other, severely depleting their forces. That would change everything.

Someone would surely be unable to resist such a perfect opportunity.

Yong Min immediately began to review the intelligence reports. As he did, however, he discovered something very interesting: it didn’t seem to be any of the known factions that had unified Dalat Town.

On the contrary, those very factions had been the ones to be unified.

That was truly shocking.

Yong Min suddenly had a thought. ’Given the situation, Dalat Town’s forces must have been severely depleted. Cambodia probably can’t hold back any longer, can they? Otherwise, once this Xuanfeng Alliance stabilizes, the opportunity will be lost for good.’

...

On the outskirts of the Dalat Town region, a small convoy of several cars was driving toward the town.

The convoy clearly belonged to some gang; its occupants were covered in tattoos and had ferocious expressions.

"Mr. Baru, this time in Dalat Town, we have to buy more weapons and teach those guys a lesson."

"Hmph. They’re only acting so arrogant because they have a few more weapons than us. Once we buy new arms in Dalat Town, I’ll make sure they regret it."

Mr. Baru snarled, his teeth clenched.

Word of the weapons sold in Dalat Town had reached the ears of people in neighboring countries and even nations farther afield.

Mr. Baru and his men soon crossed their country’s border and entered the Dalat Town region.

But this time, just as they crossed the border into Dalat Town, they were shocked to see a fortified checkpoint on the main road, with flags fluttering above it.

Some flags had square, blocky characters, while others were black and depicted a long serpent.

No, it didn’t seem to be a serpent.

Serpents don’t have feet, and they aren’t nearly this majestic.

It looked like the dragon of that great Eastern Country.

The sight made Mr. Baru and his men freeze. They had never heard of a faction like this in Dalat Town.

Just then, a squad of fully-equipped soldiers approached and surrounded them. An officer stepped forward and barked, "You are approaching the territory of the Xuanfeng Alliance! Leave immediately, or we will open fire!"

The officer was powerfully built, and he carried himself with the sharp, disciplined air of an elite special forces soldier.

Mr. Baru and his subordinates were stunned. They had no idea who the hell the Xuanfeng Alliance was.

Was there a nation called the Xuanfeng Alliance in any of the surrounding countries?

Most importantly, wasn’t this supposed to be Dalat Town?
