Chapter 378: Don't want to be missing for a minute
After the end of the main plot of the Storm Inland Sea, although there were also several times when Rococo had to take the sea route to the Turtle City or the territory of the Beast Spirit Clan in the north of the Eastern Continent due to the border blockade caused by the national war, but in general, they really did not take the small sailboat they spent their time on during the plot of the Storm Inland Sea a few more times.
Of course, this is also the norm for most of the players in the game and the ships in their hands. The large and small ships that were very popular during the plot of the Storm Inland Sea suddenly changed from a treasure to a burden after the plot ended. Although even if there is no main story, there are still a large number of game resources such as wild monster dungeons and side quests in the Storm Inland Sea, but there are national war activities and various large-scale main story events that will take place in the inland one after another, and it is clear that the Storm Inland Sea, which has been reduced from the location of the main story to the ordinary game area, is not advantageous in terms of attraction to players.
The relationship between ships and players has suddenly changed from a shortage of supply to an oversupply during the main story period of the Storm Inland Sea, and for many front-line players who have been chasing the main plot of the game in order to enjoy the plot dividends, the well-equipped ships that they spent a lot of money to buy in order to be able to kill all sides in the Storm Inland Sea have become a burden to them that are now basically only active in inland areas. If it weren't for the indications that in the later stages of the game, sooner or later players would have the opportunity to regain the northern part of the Inland Sea that was invaded by Chaos in the Storm Inland Sea plot and even attack the Chaos North Continent, I'm afraid these people would have been ready to sell the ship after the Storm Inland Sea plot.
However, while these ships must be kept in the long run, at this stage, it is a reality that most players who have moved inland will not need their ships. As a result, most players choose to lease their boats temporarily, which will allow them to recoup some economic costs when they are not in use.
Renting a boat to players who don't have a boat can make more money, but because players basically take a boat to various wild dungeons to adventure, the risk of damage to the ship is also high, and renting it to NPCs is more secure, because NPCs basically only use the ship's transportation to transport goods, but the corresponding rent is not very high. However, Rococo and their ship did not choose either, anyway, their small team is not short of money, and their small ship took them to do various tasks before Rococo to collect materials plus the kryptonite transformation after the flash bubble joined the team, the performance of the small boat in the game can be called one of the few, even if it is a delivery to the NPC, once it is bad luck to bump into the ship and damage something, it will be worth the loss.
Therefore, Rococo did not rent out the ship but kept the ship docked in the port of Nopra County, and thanks to the fact that they had established a very close relationship with the Sea Beast Clan in the previous episode, the ship was taken care of by the Sea Beast Clan, and there was no need to pay any fees to dock in the merchant ship private port of the NPC Chamber of Commerce that had a large business relationship with the Sea Beast Clan.
This time I went to sea, and it was about a month after they last went to the sea to go to the Eastern Continent for the inheritance mission of sunflowers. The boats that were maintained in the NPC Firm's private harbor didn't have any problems because they had been left for a long time, but the old sailor hired by their team looked a little sluggish when he saw them. But fortunately, when the ship really went to sea, the old sailors, who had languished on the shore, suddenly came back to life, and regained their impression of the shrewd, capable, and experienced image.
Obviously, although he is a little old, for a man at sea like the old sailor, who has been floating on the sea for almost his whole life, it is really the sea that can make his life more meaningful than the land...... Of course, perhaps this is also because the old sailor is just an ordinary NPC with little self-awareness, so he can't correctly understand the meaning of the fact that his employers told him that the voyage was destined for the Northern Continent. If it is in a real real world, the adventure team carrying this less than ten people wants to cross the inland sea to the northern continent, unless it is a guy who loves to dream like those adventurers or a stunned rookie who doesn't know anything and is not afraid of anything, he will agree, like an old sailor, a crew who has been adrift at sea all his life, even if there is a bloody plot of a man at sea, he will never accept this job.

“…… Coco, what will we do with this ship when we get to the Northern Continent? ”
On the deck, Rococo and Chu Jiajia were lying on the bow of the boat, looking at the blue sky and white clouds on the sea and chatting.
"Grandpa Sailor and the other NPCs don't have much combat power, and it would be dangerous to keep the ship on the shore and be spotted by the chaotic creatures roaming the land or along the coastline."
"Well, I've thought about this too, and when we land, I think we'll let the ship go back to the nearest nearby island that is in the hands of the Sea Beasts, it should be much safer."
"And what will we do when we go back?"
"It's a big deal, just let Sister Coco fly to the island and send a message to them to drive the boat over again."
Chu Jiajia's eyes widened slightly, looking at Rococo as if he was joking, he couldn't help but squint his eyes and laugh.
"No matter what your sister sauces say, she is also a primordial goblin, but it's not good for you to be like this."
Luo Coco also felt for a moment that it was not good to instruct his sister to run errands like this, but perhaps because he wanted to save face in front of Chu Jiajia, Rococo finally shook his head indifferently.
"It's okay, it's okay, sister...... Ahem, there will be no opinion, after all, I don't have an opinion. ”
This sounds a bit illogical, but Chu Jiajia is now one of the secret insiders of Rococo, and knows that Rococo is actually the relationship between the original goblin and the coco sister who plays the original goblin of the NPC is the ontology and the clone, so he also understands what Rococo wants to express.
However, it was precisely because she could somewhat understand the meaning of Rococo, so with the relationship between Rococo and Coco's sister, Chu Jiajia wanted to laugh even more.
"Coco, it's not good for you to bully your sister like this, after all, you are like this...... Isn't it even bullying yourself......"
"Xiao Ke, I told Sister Keke what happened just now, she said she really doesn't have any opinions, but the problem is that Xiao Ke, you bully a clone like this is actually equivalent to self-abuse in disguise?"
Rococo was a little depressed, if Ni Meng wanted to have such a tacit understanding, he actually came to complain twice.
On the other hand, Chu Jiajia, who didn't know that in addition to herself, Rococo also accepted complaints from Arya and Coco's sister, seeing that Rococo's expression was a little stiff after she finished speaking, and thought that it was her words that made Rococo a little embarrassed, so she changed the topic very understandingly.
"Speaking of Coco, why did you and your sister change the sauce? I remember saying before that you can show more strength when you are an NPC than your sister-chan. ”
"Well, it was true before, but now after the second awakening in the Elven Forest, I can now have level 120 strength even if I don't activate the original fairy mode as an NPC, so it's not much different from me doing NPC by Sister Coco."
"Well, isn't there still a gap in that way?"
Rococo was a little speechless when asked, indeed, what Chu Jiajia said was not wrong.
In fact, the primordial goblin mode is to use the power of the godhead fragment to forcibly open the power restriction in her body that originally needs to be unlocked through awakening, but this is not the "correct" way to unseal the power after all, so the higher the high-end power level, the weaker the effect of the temporary power unsealing of the power of the primordial goblin mode will be.
Specifically, when Rococo's usual strength was at level 80, she was able to maintain her strength at level 130 in battle after opening the primordial goblin mode with the godhead fragment in her hand now, but after her usual strength reached level 120 after the second awakening, and then turning on the primordial goblin mode, it would not allow her to directly recover the strength of the peak heyday of the first primordial goblin above level 145. Instead, it would only raise the maximum level of strength she could maintain in battle from level 130 to level 135.
But even so, the strength increase of level 15 can be regarded as a considerable strength improvement for the existence of the transcendence level, especially the order race leader level, especially now Chu Jiajia, who is the only one who can see the difference between their main doppelgangers, also knows the inside story, and there is no worry about exposing secrets, considering the danger on the way to the Northern Continent, it stands to reason that she should indeed play the identity of the NPC, And Coco's sister is more suitable as a player to do the task of transporting materials with her friends.
“…… There is a gap and there is a gap, but ...... If I'm an NPC, wouldn't I be able to chat with Jiajia casually......"
The last sentence of Rococo became quieter and quieter, and in the end, it was basically muttering in a mosquito voice, but because the two of them were close, Chu Jiajia still heard it clearly.
There was a sudden silence, and both of them had a little redness on their faces.
“…… Yes, that's a bit nerve-wracking. ”
Rococo looked up and saw Chu Jiajia, who was blushing, smiling at her.
"Like Coco, I don't want to miss a minute or a second of time spent together like this."
Suddenly, the sea breeze blew, and under the bright sun, the girl's black hair fluttered slightly, and the cute smile with a flush on her cheeks was deeply introduced into Rococo's mind.
