Chapter 63: Set sail for the sea

Chen Ye walked to the steam car, first skillfully turned to the bottom of the car and searched carefully, there was no way to this position, it was always full of luck for him, but in fact, this time he didn't find anything, he got up and looked inside and outside the driver's seat, he was really annoyed and directly dismantled the seat, and looked for it thoroughly, there was indeed nothing.

"It shouldn't be! If that thing was so important to him, it was impossible not to keep it by his side, did it fall into the sea? Chen Ye opened the front panel and checked the steam box, as well as the gaps in the structure under the plate, and there was nothing special about it.

Chen Ye first ruled out Ramini's manor and Dai Li's love nest, because these two places are too unsafe, and according to Dai Li's words, Lamini's most frequent places are these places, as well as the sea salt factory and chamber of commerce at the East Wharf, a few captains' steamships, and then the theater and dinner parties, to sum up, there is only one place that he has never left and can be contacted anytime and anywhere, that is this steam car, hidden in the car is also the most difficult place to find, Because there are no thieves in this world who can steal a steam machine, most people can't even figure out what a steam machine is, let alone drive it away without a controller.

The steam car has almost been dismantled into parts by Chen Ye, but he still didn't see what Chen Ye wanted, Chen Ye, who was frowning and doubting his judgment, suddenly looked at the "steam box" that seemed to be particularly large, this steam box was half a person high, and he couldn't wrap his hands around, for a steam car that was not mainly traveling far, it was true that the reserve of the steam power core was a bit excessive, Chen Ye unscrewed the lid of the steam box, reached out and touched it, it was the size of an egg. Standard steam power core", until the arm could no longer be stretched out, before it could touch the bottom, Chen Ye couldn't help tiptoe to let the arm go deeper.

[You discovered the "Treasure House of Lamini", did you use the key to open the treasure house?] Yes/No? When Chen Ye touched the bottom, the part where his index finger gently slid over, and the visual inspection was actually 20 centimeters away from the real bottom, and this steam box actually had a mezzanine! When he got the prompt, he was really surprised and delighted, and casually put the entire steam box into the Sumeru space.

Of course, I am happy that I have found what I want, and I am surprised that the "Book of Heaven" is getting worse and worse, and the words "Lamini's Treasury" are clearly misleading, if you really believe in the "Treasure Trove", this kind of prompt, how can you guess that it is only in the mezzanine of the steam box? It must have been rummaging through his residence and factory and other related places.

"Sir, have you finished collecting evidence?" When the red-clothed officer saw Chen Ye come out, he said with some trepidation.

"It's ruined...... Well, it's over, and the rest may need to be wrapped up, you know, there are some things that the sheriff is not very easy to do himself, but some credit doesn't have to be written down in a notebook. Chen Ye said bewildermently, and patted him on the shoulder, expressing his appreciation for him.

Ignoring the red-clothed police officer who had been cleaning up the "garbage" in the physical evidence room, Chen Ye returned to Peter's office, made a cup of tea by himself, and didn't let him wait too long, at 10 o'clock, Peter came back with red eyes and a storm, with the crazy joy of victory on his face, seeing Chen Ye, he didn't say anything, it was just a big hug.

"Great! You kept your promise, what did you do last night? I couldn't believe it when I got the news, that the fortified castle of Henier would take months for an army to attack, and that you would kill it all in one night! Although Henil's body was not seen, it didn't matter, 'Henil' was both a person and a sign, and this sign was destroyed, which also means that my promise to risk death was fulfilled, you don't know that when I got up in the morning, the naval commander heard my return, his face was so bad, he said that he should not have promised this 'privateer license', but fortunately, I added a 30-year deadline, and he softened his face and signed this piece of paper, which has the royal seal of the British Empire! Peter gushed endlessly, stretched out his hand and picked up the rolled paperwork with great preciousness and put it in Chen Ye's hand.

[You have obtained a "30-Year Privateer License (British Empire)". 】

There is no grade, and there is no item information, but Chen Ye knew that this was a very critical task item, he was satisfied with it and put it into the Sumeru space, and reached out to take off the "Magic Hunter Badge" from his coat, but unfortunately, if he was there last night, maybe this equipment would be able to be upgraded to the next level, but it was too reluctant for a sergeant to let the naval commander sign this, if it wasn't for Migno seeing this badge and knowing that it was Chen Ye who was pushing everything behind his back, so he said the most critical words on the side, Peter wanted to get it back, but it was impossible.

Leaving the garrison, Chen Ye went straight to the Cotoso steam factory, this place gave him a terrible feeling, maybe in some invisible place, a product like "Sophia" was being mass-produced, he really wanted to be able to get out of here as soon as possible, but he was subject to the "Meritorious Mission 2", at least until it was completed, he couldn't get out.

"Doctor, I'm coming!" Chen Ye smoothly came to the underground laboratory and took off his heavy protective suit, and in the environment of simulated moonlight, a half-dismembered demon corpse was still displayed on the experimental table, where the original huge steam machinery was evacuated.

"Oh! It turned out to be Yu Lun, it's amazing, I've never seen such a magical creature, it's completely different from the structure of those magical creatures before, as if it was a real human, but the functions and activities are more than a hundred times stronger! Do you know what this means? Davy Jones put down the tools in his hand and said to Chen Ye.

Chen Ye looked at the surrounding more than a dozen researchers who were also wearing white coats, they all had fanatical looks on their faces, and they were using various tools to tinker with something while taking samples, Chen Ye felt uncomfortable with these instincts, and just waved his hand and said: "Doctor, I'm not a researcher, I'm just a detective who has completed the commission, is the weapon you promised to repair for me intact?" ”

"Of course, I'm ready, for you, 5,000 francs is right...... Are you sure you don't want to hear about my research? This has the potential to be a great study that will change history! If you're in a hurry, turn right at the end of the lab's straight line, where there is a hidden secret door to the emergency survival passage that leads to the park to the east of the city. After Davy Jones instructed his assistant to hand Chen Ye the wooden box, he counted the bills again, and then asked again.

Chen Ye shook his head and said, "No, but I still have something I want to exchange." ”

With the keyword eye spitting out, David Jones was a little puzzled, but Chen Ye's retina had already appeared in the exchange list, looking at the camp contribution of more than 3W, Chen Ye hesitated, here is a very rare silver prop "Steam Mechanical Exoskeleton Assisted Trainer Type II", the effect is to directly increase the real strength attribute of 3 points after continuous use for 12 hours, and the exchange contribution only needs 3W2, which is very important for Chen Ye who lacks strength, but after hesitating, He still directly exchanged for a "Morath Soldier Ant", and the remaining faction contribution was just enough to exchange for another green item, "Steamship User Manual." ”

[Steamship Manual: Green Quality; special props; It can only be used based on the sub-skills of "Navigation", "Mechanical", and "Manufacturing"; After use, add content related to sub-skills, which has a chance to increase quality (80% blue, 20% green)]

Morath Soldier Ant (2/2): Quality Silver; The right hand is equipped with the main weapon; Requirements: 8 agility; kinetic energy 120; firing range 120 meters; Steam Energy 800/800;Ant Power: Bullets have a 20% chance to knock back (1 step back); Ant colony: Cooldown time 5 minutes; The 5-second mark will be set for the steam bullet hitting the target, during which all shots aimed at the target will be subject to the number of combos. Yax's Bond: Increases the effect of "Bee Venom" for 1 second; Wild Walk (2/2): Set Skill; Shoot freely at a radius of 8 meters around you centered on you, firing up to 50 bullets in 5 seconds, adding 5 points of forced damage to each bullet and bounce 3 times.

[Ask Soldier Bee (2/2): Golden quality; Left-handed primary weapon; Requirements: 8 points of strength; kinetic energy 120; firing range 120 meters; Mechanical Energy 600/600;Bee Venom: Bullets have a 20% chance to paralyze Bee Venom (1 second delay); Medusa Pupil: 20% chance to petrify; Swarm Bites: Mechanical bullets will shoot at a 2x30 meter radius directly in front of them for 5 seconds, firing up to 30 bullets, each of which deals 60% of normal damage; Mechanical Fury: The quintessential Dr. David Jones design philosophy; The collision of the mechanical bullet with the steam bullet will have a "burst" effect (add kinetic energy x1.2), and the target will be "bleeding" for 5 seconds while the defense is broken; Wild Walk (Set Skill)】

Chen Ye was ecstatic in his heart, originally the "Yax Soldier Bee" was only a silver quality weapon at most even if it was repaired, but because he inlaid the silver prop of "Medusa Pupil" in advance, Davy Jones completely fused the ability of two silver quality objects in the repair process to produce this golden weapon, Chen Ye now has some sincere admiration for this burly doctor, and it is really a very rare genius to be able to combine the magic of the inner world with steam mechanical technology so perfectly.

After playing with the soldier bees and soldier ants on his hands, Chen Zhi left the "Cotoso Steam Factory" satisfied, and now there are still 18 hours before the completion of the main quest, and the time is already very tight, because Chen Ye has been exposed to too many side quest clues, resulting in a slight lack of time for the main quest.

Chen Ye did not delay any longer, and went straight to the south wharf, a steamer was still waiting there, because it was hanging the flag of the Chamber of Commerce, and there were "acquaintances" like Carter commanding on it, and no one suspected that this was a pirate ship, after Chen Ye successfully boarded the steamer, Carter, who had already been prepared, commanded the men to set sail, until the steamship sailed out of the port, and the four ships hidden in the offshore around one after another followed, one of the steamers was Zhou Dong's flagship, and he had been named "Tiger Shark".

"Because of the heavy losses of the sailors, some people escaped on the way back, and in the end there were only less than 80 people who could be gathered, and they could not control 5 steamships and more than 100 sailboats, and finally Captain Zhou Dong reluctantly sold most of the ships, leaving only the best 3 steamships and 2 galleons, now there are 10 people on each steamer, and there are less than 30 people on each of the 2 large sails, which is already the minimum configuration to be able to set sail, and we need to go to a suitable place to recruit more sailors." Carter explained to Chen Ye.

Zhou Dong, who was suffocated in the cabin, only then appeared on the Tiger Shark, although he did not have a wanted warrant, but he had already registered in the Lent City Garrison Department, last night he dared to come out to loot at night, and he only dared to watch from the offshore in broad daylight, especially his subordinates were reduced to less than one percent, and the most powerful henchmen were almost killed and wounded.

Chen Ye left Carter to drive the steamer, put down the boat and boarded Zhou Dong's Tiger Shark, Zhou Dong was greeted with a hug, he really ran out of ideas now, no one thought that the raid on "Black Neil" would cause such heavy losses, and when he saw Chen Ye, he couldn't help crying and said: "Brother, this time you can make my brother miserable, although you have got rid of the trouble, but my brother is a big pirate, and this manpower is not enough for the other party to shell twice." ”

Chen Ye smiled and quietly handed over the "30-year privateer license (British Empire)" and said, "Then let those pirates flee!" We are now only commercial steamships and galleons, not at all suitable for naval warfare, but with this talisman, at least in half of the Mediterranean, no one dares to plunder us. ”

Zhou Dong took the permit, opened it, and a look of ecstasy gradually appeared on his face, and then he patted Chen Ye on the shoulder and said, "Good brother, I know that you won't let my brother suffer!" Come on, raise the flag! It's not a pirate flag, it's an imperial flag! ”

[Consecutive Mission B "Zhou Dong's Ambition" has been completed, the completion is 300%, and you have chosen to consume 100% of the completion to enter the next round, please receive an additional 200% completion reward, get it in the following options]

[A.500 wafer/10% completion]

[B.Introductory Skill Upgrade Elixir/30% Completion]

[C.Skill Upgrade Elixir/50% Completion]

[D. True attribute 1 point/100% completion]

Chen Ye was stunned, he knew that there would be additional gains from improving the degree of completion, because the difficulty was not high in the first round, and Chen Ye did not deliberately brush the degree of completion, so there was almost no gain, but the continuous task B was turned by him several times, which increased a lot of difficulty, and even Chen Ye cleverly designed and used a trump card like "privateer license", which made the completion soar by 300%, for an ambitious person, there is nothing more ambitious than this, this proof, It can be said that Zhou Dong was authorized by the British royal family to loot, and the plundered wealth can be obtained by handing over weapons and equipment, food supplies, and even the title of the British Empire, if his strength is enough, he can even use a huge amount of wealth and this piece of paper to establish a naval base nominally belonging to the British Empire in the nearby port city after he is tired, just like the current Migno, it is also such a piece of paper that gives Zhou Dong the opportunity to become another Earl of Migno, Ambitious people tend to be particularly fond of seizing such opportunities.

Except for the ships of the Chamber of Commerce and the navy belonging to the British Empire, all the ships sailing on the *big* sea are the prey of Zhou Dong after that, you can imagine how much his ambition will swell as he gathers a batch of wealth and obtains new personnel and weapons through donations, with this piece of paper, they don't need to dodge, blatantly go to the next city, and then smash a large number of Fei Lang on the faces of those officials in the city hall, all the difficulties he faces now have been solved, is Zhou Dong short of money? Maybe it was lacking before, but now...... After Carter contacted the seller and sold more than 100 ships, the most important thing Zhou Dong now has is money, 200W Fei Lang, which is Zhou Dong's confidence now, and the two galleons with a very deep draft are valuable goods looted by Zhou Dong from Hei Neer's warehouse.

Chen Ye first chose option D, then option C twice, and 2 bottles of proficiency skill upgrade potion, for him with "Yax Soldier Bee" and "Morath Soldier Ant", "Skilled Shooting" is somewhat insufficient, and he urgently needs to let the "Shooting" sub-skill enter "Mastery" to give full play to the maximum effect of these two weapons.

[You have taken the consecutive mission C "The Great Pirate"! Pirates: Zhou Dong needs a huge fortune to strengthen his position, and when his looting accumulates to a fortune of 1 billion francs, he will become famous in the Caribbean, go ahead, in the feast of pirates, go crazy and plunder! 】

Chen Ye and Zhou Dong discussed the route, in the Mediterranean Sea, basically there will be no danger, of course, there will be no good prey, and in the location of the Caribbean Sea, there is a more famous port city of Santes, which is the only way to enter the Caribbean Sea, after leaving Santes, enter the Pobro Strait, about 4 hours of downwind sailing will enter the pirate-infested Caribbean Sea, which is a symbol of wealth and freedom of the feast place, countless legends have risen and fallen here.

The Tiger Shark piloted in front, because of the lack of personnel, Carter was appointed as the second officer, the ship was originally waiting at the south pier of the "Storm", Chen Ye was also appointed as the first mate, the ship is another steamship "Thunderlight", the main role of the Storm and the Thunderlight is currently to escort the two galleons full of goods, because the draft of the galleon is very deep, the sailing speed is relatively slow, coupled with the wind direction is not good, as the two ships of the steamship have even thrown out the iron rope to tie the bow of the galleon, and start the steam power, Let the steam box work for "tug" to speed up the voyage.
