On the first floor of the internet cafe, the Great God Team formally submitted the cargo transport mission for the chubby Guapiro's commerce association.

——Broken Bottle Commerce Association notification: Congratulations! The Broken Bottle Gang has successfully reached level 10, and the member limit has increased to 100 people. Gang skills are upgraded to "Intermediate Bullshit", "Intermediate Bullshitting"...

The impatient Blade God and Guardian God eagerly shouted, "Add us back to the gang~"

The entire first floor erupted into cheers, "Great God, join the gang!"

Excited, Great God shouted, "Go by the list, Blade God and Guardian God, take these 28 brothers to queue at Dock No. 1, the whole gang assembles at Dock No. 1!"

Commerce channel [Vice President Great God]: Guardian God Guardian, Elder Silva must assemble at Dock No. 1 by 6 o'clock.

Commerce channel [Guardian God Guardian]: Got it.

Commerce channel [Elder Silva]: Wasn't it agreed to be at 7?

Great God laughed, "The truly good deals are always worth lining up early for..."

Silva replied, "Got it."

At this moment, Sela, who had just finished breakfast, was rather displeased as the moment of truth was about to be revealed. This damn Vice President took on a mission while I was asleep and kept it a secret, how ridiculous! The mission to level up the gang was arranged by me, what kind of big secret could he possibly have?

If it weren't for the need to act like an NPC, Sela would have already flipped out.

Then came the announcements as new members joined the gang one after another.

The gang's 100-member limit was instantly filled, with joy and laughter filling the channel.

Sela chuckled inwardly, thinking they were merely her pawns, how fortunate they were.

Upon reaching the dock, the whole gang greeted, "Good morning, fair Elder!"

Sela maintained her composure, "Good morning."

Just then, a powerful steam whistle sounded from the sea, a signal that the Black Iron Blade was docking.

Sela was a bit incredulous, and asked in the channel, "Is it related to the Black Iron Blade?"

Great God officially revealed the answer in the channel, "That's right, the Black Iron Blade is going to search for the Empire's missing guard ship. Since our gang is the city's most elite, we were chosen to do the grunt work. Our task is to first transport water and food supplies onto the warship, then follow the ship on the mission..." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The entire gang was in an uproar, "Holy Shit Bullshit!"

"Great God, isn't this the flagship of the Black Iron Flower? Will the Black Iron Flower be joining as well?"

Great God smugly replied, "I want to know too. If not, we'll have an easy time. If they are, brothers, perform your best!"

Sela was shocked on the spot, searching for the Empire's guard ship? The Five Great Cities searched for three or four days without any news, and you think the Black Iron Blade can find it?

The key issue is, how does being the so-called most elite qualify us for grunt work on the warship? Just because of this Vice President and the commerce association's reputation? Could it be related to Chun? But Chun has been locked up for ten days...

Just then, the whole gang cheered, "Look, there's actually the City Beauty on the ship!"

"Holy Shit~! She's waving at me!"

"You're dreaming, she's clearly waving at me!"

Great God was thrilled, "Brothers, now that the City Beauty is here, this thing is in the bag, give it all you've got—prepare to load the cargo!"

The whole gang was pumped, "Got it!"

Sela's heart stirred, having been troubled with finding an opportunity to get close to the City Beauty, and here it is?

Great God eagerly ran to Sela's side, "You are the Elder, you don't need to carry things."

Sela smiled, "Alright, I'd actually like to have a chat with this City Beauty."

Great God was excited, "The Elder can talk with the City Beauty?"

Sela smiled, "The City Beauty is so kind and beautiful, besides, I'm a fan of her music."

Great God was ecstatic, "Then Elder, make sure to cozy up to the City Beauty, then our gang will take off!"

"Of course!"

Sela immediately posted in the chat group live updates, "Everyone, latest discovery..."

Sariel was stunned, "Too bizarre, Sela, make sure to investigate thoroughly."

Raphael sighed, "It's just handling matters for the Empire, don't get too excited."

Metatron said, "No, the Black Iron Blade is a heavy main battleship, it's not suited for searching. For it and the Black Iron Flower to be involved, it means there's a real chance of finding it."

Raphael sighed, "Precisely because of such grandiose actions, it seems all the more like an attempt to just show off."

Michael also said, "I still hope we can find it, if we can't and the Empire truly steps in, that could be troublesome."

Sariel immediately felt uneasy, "You mean taking advantage to seize control of the Five Great Cities?"

Michael said solemnly, "Though very troublesome, it's not impossible. However, the Empire is too bloated, three or four days is not enough time to mobilize..."

Sela laughed, "Aren't you eager to mobilize the Empire's fleet? Let this decaying fleet continue to rot, then find an opportunity."

Michael chuckled, "Not impossible, but it does speed up the game's progress a bit."

Uriel laughed, "Isn't Secret Abyss City soaring into the Void to clash with the Golden Divine Throne fast enough in progress?"

"That's different, there's no players there, it won't affect the player's world's mining economy..."

...

Amidst the discussion, the Black Iron Blade docked.

The prepared members hurriedly carried crates onto the ship.

Sela also boarded with the crowd, then greeted Black Iron Flower by the railing, "Hello Miss Fafnir, I am Elder of the Broken Bottle Commerce Association, Sela from the Empire's Wandering Nun..."

Fafnir warmly smiled, "Having a talent like you join is truly the Broken Bottle Commerce Association's luck."

Sela asked, "Miss, your time is precious, are you going to search personally?"

Fafnir seriously replied, "Of course, because there's a certain level of confidence."

Sela was astonished, "The other four cities have no information, how can Miss be so sure?"

Fafnir was also surprised, "How does the Elder know the other four cities have no information?"

Sela was a bit embarrassed, "Because, perhaps, I'm just a talent."

Fafnir said earnestly, "Very well, my confidence comes naturally from the fact that Black Iron City also has talented searchers, and it seems we do have an information advantage. In any case, if this task is done well, I will be rewarded by the Empire, and I ask for your full cooperation!"

Sela gave a bow, "I will definitely give it my all!"

Applause filled the chat group, "Excellent, take this opportunity to gain the City Beauty's trust and gain control of Black Iron City!"

Sela laughed, "I'm just curious, what kind of talent advantage does Black Iron City have for searching?"

Michael laughed, "That's your aim in controlling Black Iron City! After all, Black Iron City is the first city established, there must be all sorts of Pirate King spies, double agents, and the like."

Gabriel couldn't sit still, "This Black Iron Flower wants to hog the credit, that's not good, I'll have my Oak Flower sail over too!"

Sela anxiously shouted, "Don't come, don't compete with me!"

Gabriel laughed, "The Black Iron Blade's performance is average, something might go wrong, I'll come to keep an eye on you."

Sela was agitated, "You Bitch!"
