194: Chapter 194 Sea Clan Delivers Seafood, Buffs Stacked Full

In the direction of Black Wind Valley, the dark aura is still shrinking.

The atmosphere before the general offensive has reached its peak tension.

Outside Wanlong City, Vanguard Army players are queuing to enter the Dragon Crystal Training Ground while replenishing potions, repairing equipment, and swapping for magic-breaking arrows.

The world channel is filled with messages urging for battle.

"Qing Yan's secret passages have all been blocked. Where else can he run?"

"Don't worry, let's stack the buffs to the max first!"

"I have a whole row of buffs on me right now, it looks amazing!"

Lin Zhe stood on the city wall, his expression calm.

Just then, a patch of azure water light suddenly swirled in the distant sky.

Splash—

It was as if sea waves were spreading out from mid-air.

A moist sea breeze blew through Wanlong City, even suppressing the dry heat in the air of the Dragon Domain.

Qing Yu looked up: "Master, it's the aura of the Sea Tribe."

Ao Ningshuang's silver eyes shifted slightly: "Empress Cang Lan's people?"

In the next second, a group of Sea Tribe envoys stepped out from the teleportation water curtain.

The leader was none other than Lan Xi.

She wore a sea-blue long dress, followed by over a hundred merfolk maids, each carrying a sealed Sea Crystal Food Box.

As soon as the food boxes touched the ground, a rich, fresh aroma instantly exploded.

Grilled spiritual fish, chilled sea shells, deep-sea fish soup, blue-scaled fish fillets...

Case after case, they were piled up like a small mountain.

The players were dumbfounded on the spot.

"Holy crap? Is the Sea Tribe delivering takeout?"

"Wait, this scent has attribute fluctuations!"

"This couldn't be more buff food, could it?"

Lan Xi stepped forward quickly and bowed respectfully to Lin Zhe.

"Mr. Lin Zhe, Her Majesty the Empress heard that the general offensive on Black Wind Valley is approaching and specifically ordered me to deliver 100,000 servings of deep sea spirit fish cuisine."

"These dishes are all made from Deep Sea Spiritual Fish. Consuming them will increase attack power by 5% for 24 hours."

"Her Majesty said that the soldiers on the front lines are working hard and shouldn't go to the battlefield hungry."

As the words fell.

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Then, it completely exploded!

"100,000 servings?!"

"Eat it for a 5% attack boost? For a whole day?"

"What kind of divine seafood is this!"

"Don't stop me, I want to eat fish!"

Lan Xi waved her hand.

Hum—

The Sea Crystal food boxes lit up with blue light simultaneously, automatically sorting themselves into the frontline supply warehouse.

In the next second, a server-wide announcement boomed out.

[Server-wide Announcement: Sea Tribe Empress Empress Cang Lan supports the Dragon Domain rebellion suppression!]

[The Sea Tribe has delivered deep sea spirit fish cuisine × 100,000 to the Dragon Domain frontline!]

[Consumption Effect: Attack Power +5% for 24 hours!]

[Claimable by: All participating Vanguard Army players and frontline allies!]

As soon as the announcement came out, the Wanlong City supply point was instantly packed.

"Queue up, queue up!"

"Don't push, one per person, there are 100,000 servings in the warehouse!"

"I got one! Grilled Deep Sea Spiritual Fish!"

A warrior player took a bite, and his eyes instantly lit up.

A system prompt popped up immediately.

[You have consumed deep sea spirit fish cuisine]

[Attack Power +5%]

[Duration: 24 hours]

He raised his hand and slashed at a test dummy.

Boom!

The damage numbers were significantly higher than before.

"It really adds damage!"

"This fish is so delicious!"

"The Sea Tribe Empress is so generous!"

More players frantically claimed their portions.

Some downed fish soup in one go.

Some held a fish fillet in their left hand and a magic-breaking arrow in their right, shouting indistinctly: "Qing Yan, just wait! I'll come cut you down after I've eaten my fill!"

Lan Xi couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the players' reactions and continued.

"Additionally, Her Majesty is worried that there might be underwater strongholds or underground river passages deep within Black Wind Valley, so she is once again bestowing a permanent Underwater Breathing blessing on all participating players."

She formed a hand seal.

Boom—

A large expanse of azure light patterns spread from her palm, turning into a sea tide that enveloped the entire Vanguard Army camp.

[Server-wide Announcement: All participating Vanguard Army players have received the permanent Underwater Breathing buff!]

[Effect: Can breathe freely in water without being affected by oxygen depletion!]

The world channel exploded again.

"Permanent Underwater Breathing has been replenished!"

"Now we really don't have to fear underwater maps!"

"The Sea Tribe is so thoughtful!"

"From now on, whoever says the Sea Tribe isn't one of our own, I'll be the first to disagree!"

Lan Xi didn't stop.

A third announcement followed closely.

[Server-wide Announcement: Sea Tribe Empress Empress Cang Lan has issued the Water Tide Blessing to all players!]

[All players receive a 10% Water Attribute damage buff for 3 days!]

[Also announced: Registered players of Luofeng Village, Fengyu Village, and Shiti Village will receive a permanent 30% discount on Sea Tribe materials, equipment, and specialties!]

This time, it wasn't just the front line.

The entire server went crazy.

"Water attribute damage +10%? My water mage is taking off!"

"Brothers farming mobs by the sea are making a fortune!"

"Falling Maple players get a permanent 30% discount again? I'm crying with envy!"

"The Sea Tribe Empress is really determined to stand by Big Boss Lin Zhe's side!"

In the Luofeng Village trading area, long queues instantly formed in front of the Sea Tribe material stalls.

Many water mages, water-attribute magic swordsmen, and players leveling up by the sea rushed straight toward the shallow sea maps.

At the Wanlong City frontline, another layer of blue water patterns appeared in the players' buff bars.

Attack bonus.

Underwater Breathing.

Water attribute damage.

Layer upon layer.

It made people's eyes shine.

Ao Ningshuang glanced at Lan Xi and said indifferently, "Empress Cang Lan is really being generous this time."

Lan Xi bowed her head with a smile: "Her Majesty said that the Sea Tribe naturally cannot stand idly by when it comes to Mr. Lin Zhe's affairs."

Lin Zhe looked at the cases of deep-sea cuisine and nodded slightly.

"Thank her for me."

After speaking, he raised his hand.

A wisp of pale gold Power of Rules, mixed with a soft divine light of nature, landed on Lan Xi.

Hum—

A circle of pale green light lit up around Lan Xi, and the moist aura originally belonging to the Sea Tribe was instantly covered with a layer of stable land adaptability.

She was stunned for a moment.

A system prompt appeared before her eyes.

[You have obtained the permanent Land Breathing buff]

[Effect: Can stay on land for a long time without being affected by dryness, lack of water, or aura decay]

Lan Xi's eyes lit up, and she quickly bowed.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin Zhe!"

"With this blessing, it will be much more convenient for me to travel between the land and the Sea Tribe in the future."

Lin Zhe said indifferently, "Go back and tell Empress Cang Lan that I have accepted her gift."

Lan Xi's expression became even more respectful: "I will certainly deliver the message."

Almost simultaneously, a system prompt sounded in Lin Zhe's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the top-tier female NPC, Sea Tribe Empress Empress Cang Lan's favorability toward the host has increased to 40!]

[Ding! The progress for triggering the Seventh Bond has increased!]

[Current Progress: 10%!]

Lin Zhe's eyes shifted slightly.

The Sea Tribe storyline has moved forward another step.

Below, the Vanguard Army players were still eating like crazy.

"Brothers, finish the fish before going to the cultivation ground!"

"Attack buff obtained, damage is another step higher!"

"Is Qing Yan trembling right now?"

The world channel was flooded with thanks.

"Thank you, Sea Tribe Empress!"

"Thank you, Big Boss Lin Zhe!"

"Buffs fully stacked, waiting for the fight to start!"

Lan Xi led the Sea Tribe delegation back into the water curtain.

Before leaving, she looked back at Lin Zhe on the city wall, her eyes filled with awe.

The water curtain closed.

The sea breeze gradually dissipated.

Outside Wanlong City, 100,000 servings of deep sea spirit fish cuisine were still being distributed, with blue water patterns and golden rule radiance intertwining above the players' heads.

Deep within Black Wind Valley, the dark aura shrank even tighter.
