The speed of the big man with the horse-like face was quite outstanding, and Lin Qing estimated it was about the same as his own.

This was an experienced adventurer, concise, powerful, straightforward, and sinister.

The few archers behind him were also quite capable, indicating that this team was usually strong in ranged combat and focused on output.

This was also the reason the big man with the horse-like face looked down on Lin Qing—among a team with only three melee fighters, the melee main tank's status was more like cannon fodder, destined to die.

However, Lin Qing was extremely curious about the mage captain.

He was certain that this guy was definitely not as simple as he appeared on the surface.

Although he was a mage, he followed the team with a smile, and it was not due to any acceleration spells or similar magic; his reflex attributes must be quite good.

Lin Qing knew that many adventurers made unconventional choices in their growth paths and attribute points—like himself, a melee fighter who heavily invested in agility and reflexes.

The journey took a total of four hours, with no incidents along the way. One had to admire the Japanese for their precision, which was truly unparalleled. Tanaka Yu followed his schedule and watch, controlling the precision down to the second. As the team arrived at a deep alley, the ground began to shake violently, and at that moment, a hidden door opened, revealing the entrance.

Lin Qing was the first to enter the entrance, a privilege of the main tank.

He saw another team.

To limit the number of people exploring the plot, it seemed there was a spatial will at the plot entrance—each world had a maximum number of people. Usually, it was 10, but for large worlds, it could be 20. This Grand Navigation world was vast, so it was 20.

Team battles like world conquests were not restricted by the plot and could have more participants.

The leader of this team was a young man.

Mikami Shinji.

He was not the cold, bespectacled researcher Lin Qing had imagined. Instead, he was a vibrant and energetic person, with a neat hairstyle and a sunny disposition, clearly not over 30.

Seeing Lin Qing, Mikami Shinji was completely unpretentious and came forward to shake hands.

He also shook hands with each of the other team members who entered.

"This is the Mikami Shinji and the Takenaka Gang mentioned in the intelligence!" the mage captain said. "They are our comrades-in-arms in this world."

The Hong Gang and the Takenaka Gang exchanged pleasantries. It was clear that their cooperation was not the first time, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

With the help of the space's built-in translator, Lin Qing could understand Japanese.

Mikami Shinji seemed to recognize Lin Qing's identity as a "surgeon," and his gaze remained fixed on him. He smiled and said, "I apologize. We proposed a joint development of this Grand Navigation world, and the Hong Gang has been very generous, sending so many elite members. I am very pleased."

"How will the profits be divided?" the big man with the horse-like face bluntly asked, getting straight to the point. "The intelligence didn't mention it. The risk of being a spy is very high. If the pay isn't enough, the brothers won't be able to do it."

Mikami Shinji was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem, the profit split is negotiable. Your suggestion is a 50-50 split. I think we can even do a 60-40 split. How about that?"

The big man with the horse-like face smiled in satisfaction.

Lin Qing did not pay attention to these matters; he was observing the Takenaka Gang.

There was no doubt that the Takenaka Gang had sent their core members, evident from their eyes and demeanor. They were not ordinary people.

It seemed that Mikami Shinji was putting everything on the line, betting all his chips on this Grand Navigation world, aiming for a big win.

Of course, if they could successfully find the Ancestor Virus, he would certainly control this world. Even if other gangs obtained the exploration degree of the inner world and received invitations to the world conquest tournament, they would be no match for Mikami Shinji, who would control the world with the Ancestor Virus. No one could threaten the Takenaka Gang's dominance in this world.

Therefore, he was incredibly generous with the profits from this adventure—compared to permanent control of this world, the profit share was nothing.

A 60% profit share, plus 20% for himself, Lin Qing calculated and was impressed by Mikami Shinji's generosity. This was a Japanese tycoon who knew how to do business, not just a bookish virologist.

Mikami Shinji seemed particularly interested in Lin Qing, perhaps having heard that he was the top doctor-killer in the Hong Gang, who could help him find the Ancestor Virus.

He cleared his throat and said solemnly, "The first step we need to take is to use the Raidou family to control all of East Asia and obtain the Dominator's Proof, establishing a stable rear base. The task time is only six months, so everyone needs to work quickly."

"Six months?" The big man with the horse-like face chuckled. "Even with us infiltrating Li Huamei's fleet as spies, it's impossible to dominate East Asia in six months."

"We have already entered the Grand Navigation world twice," Mikami Shinji said solemnly. "We have helped the Raidou family gradually suppress Li Huamei's forces. Osaka, Nagasaki, Kyoto, and Naha are 100% controlled by the Raidou family, with a development level of over 5000, and their influence has extended into Southeast Asia, reaching a power level of over 5000. Li Huamei is left with only four cities on the Mingjiao continent, with a power level of 3400, putting her at a disadvantage."

"In that case, solving Li Huamei in six months shouldn't be a problem," the mage captain mused. "But how can we ensure that we will be assigned to Li Huamei's side?"

"There's no guarantee," Mikami Shinji shrugged. "It will depend on your efforts to infiltrate Li Huamei's fleet and play a key role at the critical moment."

He looked at Lin Qing and said, "Remember, our task is not just to eliminate Li Huamei. We need to resolve this quickly to move on to bigger things. So, we must use any means necessary!"

Hearing the phrase "any means necessary," a chill ran through Lin Qing's heart.

Clearly, Mikami Shinji was hinting that he should assassinate Li Huamei.

Given the current situation, although the Raidou family, with the help of the Takenaka Gang, had gained an advantage, Li Huamei's roots in the Mingjiao territory were deep, and she was not an easy force to dismantle. To resolve Li Huamei in just six months, the most fundamental method was through assassination!

Once Li Huamei was unexpectedly eliminated, the Li family fleet would immediately collapse and be divided by the Japanese and British under the Raidou family's fierce attacks. Foreign powers would infiltrate the four major coastal cities!

After the Takenaka Gang controlled East Asia, they could rely on the eight prosperous cities of East Asia as bases for trade, gaining enormous commercial benefits and developing navigation technology to establish a super fleet capable of global voyages.

Ultimately, they would complete the exploration of the world.

But Lin Qing estimated that Mikami Shinji must already have a good idea of the location of the Ancestor Virus; otherwise, even a global voyage might not quickly find the Ancestor Virus.

Of course, this was Mikami Shinji's core secret, and he would never reveal it easily.

Looking at Mikami Shinji's seemingly sunny face, Lin Qing smiled faintly.

Unfortunately, I am not a virologist or a medical expert, but an adventurer from China! I will gradually uncover your painstaking efforts and research, and then... it will all be mine! Mastering the ultimate secret of this Grand Navigation world, mastering this magnificent world! Thinking of this, Lin Qing's heart raced. The 20 adventurers from the Takenaka Gang and the Hong Gang stood at the blue vortex entrance of the plot world, waiting to enter. Lin Qing could almost smell the faint briny scent of the sea, the dampness of the waves, and the grandeur of the merchant fleets setting sail! And... the beautiful and proud female admirals and captains standing on the bow of the ships, the sea breeze blowing through their hair, looking majestic and exceptionally sexy! "Hehe, I'm here!" Lin Qing felt a slightly salty sea breeze envelop him, and then he lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, he was already at the dock of a bustling commercial city!

The morning sun shone on the distant sea, the waves sparkling like diamonds and stars. The sound of conch horns filled the air as countless ships raced to the excellent deep-water port, trying to enter it. This port was truly bustling, with a deep-water harbor in the distance, where thousands of large ships of various types were moored, their masts like a forest, and white sails billowing. Countless barefoot laborers were sweating as they unloaded barrels and boxes of various goods from the ships or shouted in unison, pulling the heavily loaded ships to the docking positions.

Not far from the dock was a bustling market, crowded with people. Countless weary ship captains and merchants climbed onto the mountainous piles of goods, shouting at the top of their lungs about the goods they had brought from their voyages. Below them, elegantly dressed merchants from various countries and foreigners were shouting loudly, bidding on the goods from Korea, the South Seas, Japan, and the Ryukyu Islands.

There were exquisite tortoiseshell, weapons, and lacquerware from Japan, sweet sugar from the Ryukyu Islands, ginseng from Korea, and tropical specialties from South Asia. Chinese porcelain, silk, tea, and minerals, among other high-value goods, were also piled up, waiting to be transported abroad by foreign merchant fleets and the famous Li family fleet.

This international trade was highly profitable, often a ship of porcelain could be exchanged for half a ship of silver. A piece of porcelain worth a few hundred silver could be sold for 2000 silver in Japan. If sold to the Arabs or British in Malacca, it could fetch 4000 silver, a truly lucrative business!
