Chapter Fifty-Eight: Family
The coastal line of defense is only a general term, and many times it refers to some controversial sea areas.
As the country's strength grows and wanes, so does the coastal defense line.
This can be said to be the most concentrated and abundant place in the entire British leveling points, from second-order ships to seventh-order ships, as for the monsters above the seventh order, they can only be encountered when they go to the deep sea.
Wang Hao is only going to the innermost layer of the coastal defense line, the main enemies here are some second-order armed merchant ships, and occasionally you can see one or two third-order warships, this should be the place where players who have changed to second-order ships have come, although the experience is much richer, but the risk is also multiplied.
There are abundant leveling resources here, there are supplies from nearby military ports, and there are military contribution points to take, which is enough, and he is not short of money to repair ships.
Especially the last sentence, this is Wang Hao's biggest confidence in this trip.
At this time, even if it is to spend money to buy experience, it is a matter of sparing, as long as it can make him quickly change to a Venetian gunboat.
Spanish smuggling ship (2nd order): 18 class
Base Attack: 25
Maximum number of sailors: 20
Cargo storage capacity: 6 (unit: cubic meters)
Gun emplacements: 3
Extended Positions: 2
Sail position: 2
Plate paddle position: 2
Durability: 300
Propulsion: 150
In the previous life, Wang Hao had also been to this sea area to practice, so he had some understanding of the surnames of these ships.
Drifting Snow: Light Oarrow Sailboat (1st Order)
Base Attack: 25
Maximum number of sailors: 16
Cargo storage capacity: 2 (unit: cubic meters)
Gun emplacements: 3
Extended Positions: 0
Sail position: 2
Plate paddle position: 1
Durability: 290
Propulsion: 163
From the comparison of the two ships, it can be found that under the increase of the two superb blue suits, the surname of the "Drifting Snow" is not much worse than that of the Spanish smuggling ship.
The only thing to worry about was the weapons, and the Spanish smuggling ships were equipped with artillery, and even the lowest level of artillery was not much more powerful.
This encounter began with the first shell fired by a Spanish smuggling ship, and the range of the cannon was a little longer than that of ordinary projection shipborne weapons, and Wang Hao could only try his best to avoid this, he didn't want to test the power of the opponent's artillery.
I don't know if it was because of the superb level of artillery bombardment of the enemy ships, or because Wang Hao's luck was too bad, the first two of the three shells fired in the first wave all fell on the sea dozens of meters away, but the last one was like a divine help, accurately hitting the "Drifting Snow" that was sailing in a "Z" shape.
The bowl-sized solid cannonball smashed on the deck, and instead of burying directly into the inner compartment, it formed a ricochet, and the two sailors, who had no time to dodge, were immediately hit by the jumping cannonball, and immediately lost their lives.
Nima, this luck is too bad, not only was he hit in the first round of attacks, but he was also stoned to death by two sailors!!
Wang Hao was quite depressed, losing money is a trivial matter, the key is that this omen is not good, and the loss of sailors exceeds a certain number, which will directly reduce the ship's various surnames.
He looked at the losses, and in addition to the two sailors who died, the durability had also dropped eighty points, and the attack was a little too strong, almost more powerful than his blue weapon, if it weren't for that bead shooting skill.
He suddenly remembered a post he had read on the forum before, to the effect that when high-level ships deal with low-level ships, there will be incognito bonuses in all aspects, in the words of traditional online games, that is, level suppression.
It's no wonder that at that time, there were very few players who crossed the level to fight monsters, not that they couldn't beat it, but it was very uneconomical.
Wang Hao's current equipment is already the top among players of the same level, with his current strength to deal with second-order ships, his luck is almost good, I am afraid that if he doesn't fight two, he will have to go back to repair the ship once, and it is better to deal with low-level ships with high leveling efficiency.
It is also because the development of this period of time is too smooth, and some things he takes for granted.
However, since he came here, he was naturally somewhat sure, and his reliance was on the skills attached to the blue repeater.
"Shoot in a row."
Seeing the enemy ship entering his range, Wang Hao ordered unceremoniously.
Three bolts shot out in a row, drawing three white lines.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
“-31”
“-30”
“-35”
Three consecutive red numbers floated up from the sky above the enemy ship, but Wang Hao's face was not too happy, the damage was much smaller than he expected, and it seemed that there was a certain amount of damage reduction.
The other two launched an attack that followed, but was evaded by the enemy ships.
The cooldown time of the continuous shooting is 5 minutes, and he has to take two more rounds to kill the opponent, at this time he is a little reminded of those players who are the main plus martial arts and domination, and that kind of gameplay is paired with unicorn statues, and it is a little easier to deal with these ships with powerful long-range guns.
Wang Hao is just thinking about it, in a large-scale naval battle, the above-mentioned players are basically cannon fodder, and he doesn't want to go down that road.
The Spanish smuggling ships soon launched a second wave of offensive, with three "boom", "boom", "boom", and a burst of gunpowder smoke floating in the air, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and the power was not ordinarily amazing.
Wang Hao's heart tightened slightly when he heard the voice, and he hurriedly made a series of evasive actions, a few seconds later, he looked left and right suspiciously, but did not see the shadow of the cannonball, until he looked farther, he vaguely saw the shadow of two water columns, as for the last one, but he didn't find it.
It seemed that the first time he was hit was just the luck of the enemy ship, and he relieved himself, if this was the case, it was still worth a fight.
The interval between the two attacks of the enemy ship is about 20 seconds, close to half a minute, the attack speed of your own side is slightly faster, the normal attack damage is about 20-30 points, plus a 5-minute burst of shooting, it is expected that you should be able to destroy the opponent in less than ten minutes.
Wang Hao's knowledge is quite high now, and his bonus to hits is also considerable, and he has taken a big advantage in the next few rounds of shooting.
The durability of the Spanish smuggling ship soon fell below 100 points, and by this time, the cooldown time for the Burst Shot had also arrived.
"Shoot in a row."
With Wang Hao's low shout, three small crossbow arrows hit the enemy ship in a row, and he clearly saw the sailors on the opposite ship running on the deck in a panic, and the next moment, the ship broke into two and slowly sank.
Seeing the beating number on the experience bar, Wang Hao smiled with satisfaction, it was not in vain that he spent so much effort, the experience reward for killing at the next level was quite rich, and he killed more than a dozen monsters of the same level on the top of one, which strengthened his determination to stay here and level up.
In this way, Wang Hao began a career of wholehearted leveling, with an average of sinking about ten ships, he needed to return to the port to replenish once, and the cost of repairing ships ranged from ten to dozens of silver coins each time, and it was the first time he experienced such a luxurious leveling method.
I'm afraid that some of the presidents of the big guilds will not be willing to do this, although they have strong financial resources, but they also have a lot of places to use money, and they are still in the stage of investment and development at this time, and they are far from the season of harvest and enjoyment.
It wasn't until Valerie sent a message for dinner that Wang Hao withdrew from the state of leveling, looked at the time, and six or seven hours had passed, and couldn't help but be a little speechless.
Due to today's good leveling results, I have increased my experience by more than half in half a day, and if I continue to fight for a few more hours, I will almost be able to reach level 5.
I hurriedly ate lunch, calculated the time difference, estimated that I had already gotten up at home, and dialed the phone at home.
"Hey, Xiaohao, is that you? You're really, you don't know how long to call back and ask, so you're not afraid that you won't see your mother one day......"
How can anyone curse themselves, Wang Hao's voice showed a hint of helplessness, "Mom......"
Wang Hao did not shy away from Valerie when he made this call, the latter looked at Wang Hao like a curious baby at this time, obviously not understanding what the other party was saying.
"Okay, mom won't say it, by the way, how is the matter between you and Xiaoxue, she is a good girl, or you will get married when you come back this year, Lao Liu of the next door is hugging his grandson, you have to hurry up, your sister Tongtong's girl also has a boyfriend in school, you can also say two words to her when you are free, she listens to you the most, she is still young, and now she still has to study ......"
I used to feel a little irritated listening to my mother's nagging, but now Wang Hao listens to a warm taste, when his mother mentioned his ex-girlfriend's name, he didn't know how to tell the other party, and a little weakly looked at Valerie who was curious and concerned about this side, and the latter immediately showed a flattering smile, if it weren't for Valerie not knowing Chinese, now I'm afraid that I would immediately grab the microphone and chat with my future mother-in-law.
I don't know if my mother will be able to accept the fact that she will marry a British daughter-in-law in the future.
Thinking of his mother's old-fashioned surname, Wang Hao was a little worried, glanced at the charming face, and immediately found that he was thinking too much, even if he wanted to marry, the other party might not be willing to marry?
Besides, judging by Valerie's wild performance last night, it doesn't seem to be the first time.
As a Chinese, it is impossible to say that he doesn't mind this at all, but he carefully hides this thought, which seems normal for a girl as good as Valerie.
I chatted with my mother a few more words, and said seriously that I would definitely be very serious about explaining my sister, and ended this call.
Wang Hao has lived in a single-parent family since his sister was a child, his mother has to be busy going to work every day to make money to support the family, and many times his brother plays the role of father and mother.
From childhood to adulthood, Wang Hao has always been the object of his sister's worship and study, until this little sister graduated from college, showed amazing business talent, and in turn took care of his brother, his small company was established under the guidance of his little sister, thinking of this, he felt weird in his heart.
It's just that Xiaomei's love life seems to have been not going well, and she has had several boyfriends, and she often proposes to break up within two months, which seems to be related to the former's first emotional experience.
