Chapter 13: Reaching the South China Sea
After Ming announced that he had passed the assessment, the voice of the system sounded in his head.
"Congratulations to the host for becoming a third-class soldier, according to the achievement reward principle, the host will receive 100 experience points and 1 million system gold."
"The host triggers the main quest: Navy Strongman."
"Mission Requirements: Require the host to continuously advance their ranks."
"Mission Rewards: Each level you advance will receive rich rewards."
Although the newly obtained mission reward allowed Ming to finally advance to the Little Fire Dragon, he did not feel any joy at this time, because he would have to face Karp and Bogart, who had great expectations for him.
Karp looked at Ming coming over, and he said indifferently: "Ming boy, do you know that I actually want people to deprive you of your qualification to be promoted to a third-class soldier." ”
Ming heard Karp say this, but he didn't say anything, because he could feel Karp's disappointment with his performance.
Seeing that Ming remained silent, Karp continued, "Although you are lucky enough to be too confident to meet the other party, you are so confident that you ignore some basic things, but the mistakes you made when you rushed to the other party are unforgivable. If you do this in a real battle, chances are you'll be dying or dying, as true outlaws don't leave you with any chance to fight back. ”
"I know, Mr. Karp." Ming lowered his head and said softly.
"Let's go."
Karp stood up, turned around and said, "As for the mistakes you made in the test, we will punish you when we get back to the ship." ”
Ming thought that Karp was reluctant to take him with him, but Karp's words now told him that Karp had not given up on him.
In fact, Ming is making a big fuss in his heart, although Karp's performance in Ming's assessment is a little unsatisfactory, but people are not sages, who can do nothing, how could he give up a young man with great potential like Ming.
"Yes, Mr. Karp!" Ming said yes loudly, and then he left the place after Karp and Bogart, in the envy of many sailors.
After the three of them returned to the dog-headed navy ship, the navy ship set sail.
Ming was immediately punished, the punishment was that he used to train three times as much every day, and when he finished the punishment, he couldn't move, and he had to be helped to carry him to his room.
The next day, he woke up under the notification of the system, and Ming felt a sore back all over his body, which seemed to be the feeling he would have after getting up for the second time since he was punished for the first time, but even if his body was uncomfortable, he had to get up to participate in the morning exercise.
Behind the success must be perseverance and sweat, if he wants to become stronger, he must insist on exercising every day, of course, remember every mistake made, improve his actual combat experience, this is also a very important thing.
Karp and Bogart, who also get up early every day, see that Ming still gets up early, and the disappointment in their hearts completely disappears, Ming can persist like this, his achievements will not be too low, and when he has rich combat experience, those mistakes that will occur in the early stage will gradually disappear.
After morning training, after breakfast, he began to train in martial arts and kendo.
After less than half an hour of training, he was sweating profusely, which rarely occurs at sea, after all, the sea breeze usually blows from time to time, and he couldn't help but ask Bogart: "Mr. Bogart, why is there no sea breeze in this place?" ”
Hearing Ming's inquiry, Bogart replied lightly: "This is a windless zone. ”
Bogart's answer made Ming swallow a mouthful of saliva, he didn't expect that only one night later, they would come to the windless zone where the sea kings lived.
"I see."
Thinking that there were many overlords of the sea living under the bottom of the sea under his feet, Ming found that he couldn't help but become quieter when he even spoke, as if he was subconsciously afraid of disturbing these terrible creatures under the sea.
Bogart noticed Ming's abnormality, and he asked with some curiosity: "Ming, do you know the windless belt?" ”
Ming nodded and said, "When I was training in the headquarters, I overheard some news about the windless zone, but I also knew that there were many large sea kings living here. ”
"Yes, there are many large sea kings living here, these big guys are often the size of an island, it is easy to destroy our ship, fortunately, our motor boat will not be too noisy, plus the cover of the sea building stone at the bottom of the ship, so it can safely pass through the windless zone." Bogart said softly.
Bogart's words made Ming involuntarily wipe the sweat from his forehead, he thought that those sea kings were the size of a mountain at most, but he didn't expect it to be measured by an island.
Looking at Ming's movements, Bogart chuckled and said, "Ming, you better continue to train, you don't have to worry about the matter of the Sea King, as long as you don't shout loudly in death, there will definitely not be much of a problem." ”
Although Ming nodded to indicate that he understood, he still subconsciously weakened his strength in actions that might cause sound.
Bogart didn't explain this problem, after all, people will have a fear of dangerous things, and after a few such windless shuttles, they will be able to face this situation safely.
After a day, the boat finally crossed the windless zone, felt the long-lost sea breeze, and Ming's heart finally settled down completely.
Karp stood at the bow of the boat, and he said to Ming, "Ming boy, do you know which sea we are in now?" ”
"I don't know, Mr. Karp." Ming replied very dryly, after all, he didn't know where the ship crossed the windless zone, so naturally he couldn't judge the sea area that appeared now.
"This is the South China Sea, I heard that the number of pirates here has surged, so I thought about coming here to hang around, of course, the task of dealing with pirates is left to you, after all, these pirates can only be regarded as pirates who are not in the stream." Karp, who was wearing a dog's hood, buttoned his nose and said.
Hearing Karp's words, Ming straightened up and saluted, "I won't live up to Mr. Karp's expectations!" ”
Judging from Karp's words, he guessed that Karp came to the South China Sea to actually let him practice his skills and accumulate experience from these average pirates first, so that he could go to the great voyage to compete with those powerful pirates.
However, thinking of Karp's reputation as a naval hero, he couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Karp, do you say those pirates dare to appear in front of our ship?" ”
Bogart knew Ming's concerns, and he spoke: "Ming, you don't have to worry, Mr. Karp rarely comes to the South China Sea, so the pirates in the South China Sea basically don't know this ship. ”
After listening to Bogart's answer, Ming began to look forward to the first pirate group he encountered.
Of course, in order not to let himself capsize in the gutter, Ming began to advance to the Little Fire Dragon.
Open the Spirit Illustrated Book, and when the promotion button of the little fire dragon was pressed, his experience points and system gold coins disappeared a lot in an instant, but in exchange for the strength of the little fire dragon,
Now the data of the little fire dragon can be much stronger than before.
Elf: Little Fire Dragon (Intermediate Stage)
Strength: 30
Defense: 20
Dexterity: 20
Proficiency: 0\/10
Skills: Claws, Sparks, Cleave, Jet Fire
(Elves with high growth potential)
Ming bought five more primary physique pills to increase his physique to 25 points, although there are only 500,000 system gold coins left, but his current strength has been raised to a new level, I believe that when he fights with the pirates, he will give Karp and Bogart a big surprise.
