Everyone, please pay attention to the WeChat public account "Black Pigs on the Wild Mountain." Regular updates of book previews and excerpts of future chapters will be pushed, so you can be the first to know! Thank you for your support with your votes! Lin Qing stared at him until even Misa Sanji felt embarrassed, coughed, and sat down, smiling bitterly, "Please forgive me, I really feel a dangerous emotion towards Li Huamei. This woman has a unique charm that even a modern man like me can't resist."

Lin Qing sneered inwardly.

Clearly, it's you, this man of Yamato, with your body full of toxic hormones, brewing a perverted obsession.

Misa Sanji regained his composure and said solemnly, "Tell me about your plan."

"My plan is simple," Lin Qing said calmly, "Just like the battle plan we set before, we will infiltrate the Li family fleet as sailors, gain Li Huamei's trust, and then when she faces the decisive battle with the Raimu family, we will stab her in the back and eliminate her!"

Misa Sanji looked at Lin Qing with admiration but shook his head, "Doctor, I admire your decisiveness and confidence. But please allow me to remind you, Admiral Li Huamei is not an ordinary woman. Despite the pressure and suppression from Ming officials, the powerful Raimu family, us, the pirates of the East, and the British, she has managed to maintain control over the Ming coast and trade points. She is a very strong woman. You can't expect to gain her trust as easily as with a typical character in a story."

He paused, sighed, and continued, "In fact, our Takenaka Gang leadership once rashly decided to send two groups of assassins to infiltrate and kill Li Huamei. But they all ended up as hanging corpses on the Li family ships! Since then, Yang Xien, who is close to Li Huamei, no longer trusts anyone. Only those who have been loyal to the Li family for generations can board her flagship."

He smiled bitterly, "Moreover, on Li Huamei's flagship, there are four loyal companions: Yi An, James, Xien, and Koyasu. Apart from James, who is a skilled artilleryman, the other three are renowned charge leaders! Especially Koyasu, who is an expert swordsman, protecting Li Huamei, making it almost impossible to succeed. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that our Takenaka Gang is truly at a loss with Li Huamei, we wouldn't have sold the information about the Age of Sail world to the Hong Gang and requested your assistance!"

He stared at Lin Qing, "I have long heard of the name of the all-powerful Red Flower Double Stick Killer—Surgeon. That's why I invited you this time. To use your strength to remove the obstacle to our dominance in East Asia—Li Huamei! Your method? I'm sure it won't disappoint me."

A hint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes.

Lin Qing glanced at Misa Sanji and said calmly, "I have a way to infiltrate Li Huamei's flagship!"

"Is that all?" Misa Sanji's disappointment was evident, "I warned you, the vigilant Li Huamei and Yang Xien will not give you any chance."

"My method is already explained. Let's make a deal," Lin Qing said calmly, "I want to hear your entire plan. Then I will tell you my action plan. I can confirm with 100% certainty that I can infiltrate Li Huamei's side and stand behind her."

Without a doubt, if it were anyone else, Misa Sanji would not believe this statement.

But the reputation of the Surgeon, the Red Flower Double Stick Killer, is too illustrious.

From extremely confidential channels, it was reported that in the previous world of "Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber," the Hong Gang team suffered losses, but it was this Surgeon who, while infiltrating the team, obtained a hidden world map as precious as gold for the Hong Gang!

He has successfully completed nine Red Flower Double Stick tasks, making him one of the top performers in the Red Flower Double Stick team!

After considering all this, Misa Sanji took a deep breath, and his tone became grim.

"Doctor, I want to remind you of something," Misa Sanji said coldly, "If it weren't for the hope of your help and expertise, I would never reveal our core secrets! But if I find that you have ulterior motives or leak even a word, I swear I will do everything in my power to eliminate you, understand?"

Lin Qing smiled with contempt and nodded, "If you want to cooperate, you must trust me. Otherwise, it's off, period."

Misa Sanji stared at Lin Qing coldly.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze.

For a full three minutes, Misa Sanji finally spoke.

"Very well, I think I can take a chance."

He pointed to the upper right corner of the East Asia navigation map.

"As you know, the core secret of our Takenaka Gang is my technical expertise. I am a Nobel Prize-winning virologist!"

Lin Qing looked deeply at Misa Sanji and said calmly, "I am truly impressed!"

Misa Sanji smiled, "No need. I have already revealed this secret to your gang. Of course, except for the method to find the ancestral virus, which only I know."

"Six months," Lin Qing said sarcastically, "Even if we can eliminate Li Huamei in the first month, you won't have enough time to find the ancestral virus!"

"The key is time!"

Misa Sanji affirmed, "Currently, only our two gangs know the location of the entrance to the Age of Sail world. But I understand that all major forces are exploring the maze. It's inevitable that spies from major forces will infiltrate our gangs, and the location will eventually be exposed. In fact, no matter how powerful a gang is, it cannot monopolize a world. What we need to do is to explore the hidden world as much as possible before other forces discover it and firmly grasp the world in our hands! This is the current rule of the game for all gangs!"

Lin Qing nodded, "I understand."

Misa Sanji pointed to the upper right corner of the map, "Hokkaido!"

Lin Qing was taken aback.

He understood Misa Sanji's meaning.

"So, the hidden world of this world is actually...?"

Misa Sanji smiled coldly, "Yes, my dear friend. This Age of Sail world, as its name suggests, has 20 hidden world copies, which are actually 20 remote supply points in the game! If you have played the game, you must know how difficult it is to reach these 20 supply points! In the game, often the entire ship's crew dies of hunger, leaving only a few navigators to make the trip. In reality, believe me, the difficulties you will face are far more than what is described in the game!"

"After helping the Raimu family suppress the Li family, we began to explore the hidden world. But even for a hidden world copy as close as Hokkaido, do you know how many adventurers we sacrificed?"

Misa Sanji said with a sinister tone, "We lost 8 adventurers in this simplest supply point mission."

"How is that possible?" Lin Qing exclaimed, "Hokkaido, just by following the Japanese archipelago, it's a 4-5 day voyage, even with the heaviest ironclad warships, they can reach it."

"Don't forget, it's a hidden copy!"

Misa Sanji sneered, "You have also obtained a hidden copy map. In fact, no hidden copy is without difficulty! We went to great lengths to get the navigation map for Hokkaido from a barmaid, which marked the location of the hidden world copy. But when we arrived, instead of the refreshing hot springs and delicious food in the game, we were greeted by the poison arrows and spears of the local Ainu people!"

Lin Qing drew a sharp breath.

Through his interactions with the upper echelons of various gangs, he gradually realized a significant issue.

The surface world belongs to the characters in the story!

The hidden world belongs to the adventurers' competition!

Of course, he was concerned about the difficulty of exploring the hidden world copies.

He didn't expect such a significant difference from the game. To unlock the hidden world copies, one must face such intense conflicts with the locals.

"The Ainu people are the indigenous people of Hokkaido. At this time, Japan is still in the Warring States period, and the Ainu have not been conquered. We paid the price of one ironclad ship and 8 adventurers' lives to suppress Hokkaido and complete the exploration of the hidden world," Misa Sanji said with a bitter smile.

"But what does this have to do with the ancestral virus you are looking for?" Lin Qing asked coldly.

"It has a lot to do with it!"

Misa Sanji laughed heartily, "Although we paid a heavy price, I verified my theory during the exploration of Hokkaido—that in parallel worlds, if there are no unexpected factors causing drastic changes, natural species will remain consistent! I collected 134 virus samples from Hokkaido and compared them with the samples I obtained from the Hokkaido research institute in the Resident Evil world, finding a similarity of 95.9%!"

He smiled excitedly, "This indicates that the location where I found the ancestral virus in the Resident Evil world has a high probability of also containing the ancestral virus!"
