The Jade Emperor thought that my words also made sense, and besides, we were such a big guild, and we had cooperated for so long, and we were not afraid that we would repay the debt, so he immediately agreed to advance the benefit fee to us. The news was transmitted back to the guild and immediately caused an uproar, and some people from the laymen also frantically wanted to join our guild, but our guild stopped accepting people during this time, because our guild pursued quality rather than quantity, and those miscellaneous people joined in purely for the elixir, and they would withdraw from the guild when they got something, and even if they stayed, it would not help the guild much, so simply don't have one, anyway, there are a lot of people in our guild.
The people of Heavenly Court brought the injured Four Holy Beasts and Erlang God back to Heavenly Court to recuperate from their injuries, and the reward will be sent directly to our guild by the people of Heavenly Court later, and I am more anxious about how to find clues now. The members of this disappearance case are all masters, and they are all flying in the sky, so there are almost no clues, and I don't know how to start at all. I really had no choice but to ask the people in the guild to pay more attention, in case anyone happened to see or hear the relevant news, maybe they could find them.
It is said that there is great strength in numbers, and this is not true at all, and after waiting for less than three hours, it was discovered. I was notified and quickly ran to the weapons shop owned by the Children of the Night, where the guy was still leisurely appraising weapons. "Did you really see that?" I grabbed the Son of Night's arm and lifted the guy from his seat.
"You, you, you tap! Put me down!" The Children of the Night struggled in a hurry, but this kid is a mage profession, and his strength is incomparable.
"Hurry up and tell me, did you really find Yinxue?"
The Child of the Night nudged me and said, "It's not me who found it, it's a friend of mine."
"Your friend? Where did he find it?"
"I can't tell you about this, otherwise I brought him here and you asked him directly?"
"Okay. Hurry up and call him over. "The Children of the Night were just about to leave when I stopped me." Forget it, let's go over together. I said as I picked up the Children of the Night and rushed out.
The Children of the Night struggled desperately on me. "What are you carrying me for?"
"Just when will your zombie jump arrive? Tell me the place, I'll take you there. Is he a native of our guild?"
"He's an idle player, he doesn't have guilds. But that guy's personality is more ......!"
"Which one is that?"
The Children of the Night thought for a moment and said, "Forget it." Maybe the two of you will understand after spending some time together. He's in Longkou Shipyard now, you can just teleport directly to Longkou City. ”
"Cut, did you say it earlier!" I directly turned the teleportation ring, and the next second it had already appeared in the teleportation array of the dragon's mouth. It's a seaside city, and as soon as you get out of the teleportation array, you can smell the faint saltiness in the air. "Children of the Night, how do you get to the shipyard?"
"You can see it all the way to the beach, it's not too big."
"Then let's go through heaven." As I spoke, I spread my wings, grabbed the Child of the Night, jumped six or seven meters above the ground, flapped my wings and flew quickly to the sea.
Like the Children of the Night said, it's not that big here. The total area of the cities under the jurisdiction of this system is not larger than one neighborhood in Issinger. And most of its seaside is rocky, with only two small piers and a small beach that is relatively comfortable. Compared to a big city like Isenger, this is simply a satellite city of satellite towns, which is really pitiful.
The so-called shipyard seemed to me to be a dilapidated house on the water. The length of the dock is not enough for the width of the Eternity, and it can fit into three or four thousand tons of ground ships at most, and it looks like it is still a wooden ship built here.
After climbing to a certain height, I glided all the way with my wings open, and when I reached the top of the shipyard, I circled a little twice, and then slowly landed at the gate of the shipyard. There are still two guards guarding the door in this dilapidated factory. But they're all NPCs, and they're obviously the type of old, weak, sick and disabled. There are very few formulaic things in Zero, and even the individual differences of the same level of troops of the same race are very large. It is relatively cheaper to hire these old, weak, sick and disabled NPCs than young and strong NPCs, and even cheaper than players.
My personal attributes include a high degree of coercion over NPCs, because the NPCs who are usually with me are either their own people in the guild or super NPCs like Erlang God and the Dark Lord God Ditans, so this attribute doesn't play any role at all, but it's different now. After the installation of the filthy jade on the eternity, the dark power on my body became even more terrifying, and the white resentful spirits could form an almost substantial image around me in broad daylight, and these two NPC guards were an old man and a half-grown child, and they began to tremble when they saw me. The weapons all fell to the ground.
"How did your friend come up with the idea of buying a boat in this place? Wouldn't it be good to go to our guild and buy it?"
"You are really a broad young master, and you don't know the suffering of the poor. The cheapest ships from our guild cost a few thousand crystal coins to run up, and all of them are so advanced that ordinary people dare to buy them?"
"Is there anything wrong with being advanced?"
"Of course, everyone likes to be advanced, but the problem is that the price of the ship has gone up first, and the rich people like our boat, which has good performance and great power, but ordinary people can't afford it! The cheapest ship in our guild, even if it doesn't deserve any plug-ins, it will cost more than 3,000 crystal coins, that is, 30,000 yuan! The average player who has a hot brain to buy that thing?"
When the Children of the Night said that, I understood. For people like me, buying a ship and spending millions of crystal coins is nothing, all I have to think about is the problem of more than 100 million crystal coins, so naturally I won't pay attention to that little money. But for the average player, more than 1,000 crystal coins are large items or super luxuries, so there are really not many people who can afford them. However, this does not mean that there are not many proportions, not that there are not many people. Our country alone has a population of almost 2 billion, and even if one in 10,000 people buys it, the sales volume will not be less.
I looked at the two NPC doormen, then walked over to the old man and asked, "Can I come in here?"
The old man nodded hurriedly. "Yes, you can, how can you block the guests when you open the door to do business?" In fact, what the old man said was a lie, the shipyard usually has a special reception room in the city, and few people will come to the dock to buy a ship, just as buying steel does not have to go to the steelmaking furnace to buy it. However, with this old man's mental state, it is estimated that he will only dare to nod his head when I say anything.
Although I knew it wasn't the truth, I had already asked, and it was more polite, so there was no need to ask others for advice, so I just walked inside. The Children of the Night are still running around like zombies.
"Hey, Nightchild, what's your friend's name?"
"May."
"His real name?"
"It's not." The Child of the Night explained while looking for people everywhere: "I'm talking about May, but his real name is Wu Le, Koutian Wu, and the musical instrument is almost the same as May. This May is his nickname, so the name of the game is simply May. ”
I nodded, and then opened the phoenix dragon space and released Lucky. "Help yell twice. Call me someone, and his name is May. ”
Lucky nodded, and shouted into the dockyard. The dragon's volume was no worse than that of a loudspeaker, and the roof of the broken dock shook with the sound, and in a short time a small door opened on the side of the dock, and a large group of people ran out of it, many of them with wrenches and other tools in their hands.
At the front of the line was a young man about the same age as me, although he was male, but he was more delicate, and he was about the same as me, but not as beautiful as my B13 optimized genes. The guy was wearing overalls, and it didn't look like a combat profession, except that he and the large group of people behind him were going to fight someone.
"Stop." After running in, Su Nian's momentum suddenly relaxed, and stopped the people behind him. "Mistaken. It's my friend. ”
The Children of the Night teleported in front of the Maylands. "Haha, you kid with so many people want to beat me?"
May's face was a little bad: "In the past two days, I have been making trouble with the group of people, and we thought they were coming again, so we rushed out." That's right. Didn't you kid cling to the powerful and become a high-level member of the big guild? How can you have time to see a poor friend like me?"
"Damn, I'm kind enough to come to see you, you kid actually dares to sarcastically mock me." The Child of the Night laughed and punched him. "Come here, I'll introduce you. This is ......"
"No introduction, I know." May walked up to me and held out a hand very generously. "My name is May, and I've seen your battle on online video before."
I shook his hand, and then said very directly, "I'm here to ask about the missing Protector Beast, and I heard from the Children of the Night that you have news of her, right?"
May nodded, and then said, "I did see the white jade unicorn with my own eyes, and it was exactly the same as the Protector Divine Beast in the game CS that was forced to be played. And he seemed to be chasing someone at the time. The two sides fought very hard, and I was implicated and hung back. ”
After listening to May's words, I was a little relieved, at least Yinxue was chasing and killing others. Instead of being snatched away, at least she doesn't have to worry about her safety. However, the key problem in this matter is still on the Great Wheel Hades, the other party must have rescued the Great Wheel Hades when they came here, and the two pieces of jade that Heavenly Court desperately wanted to recover were very likely to be on the Great Wheel Hades, in order to complete the task and for more prizes. I still have to chase the Great Wheel Hades back.
"Where did you see them? Any idea where they went?"
May smiled at me and said, "I know the place, and I can take you there, but I need your help." I was supposed to go on a mission. As a result, they were affected by the battle, and a boat that they had managed to get together with money was also sunk. I'll lose a lot of ground if I don't complete the mission, so I hope you can send me there. Anyway, we're going to stop by, and the place I'm going to be is also the place where you're looking for people to go. ”
This guy has a good brain, and he actually knows that he wants to bargain with me, but it's not a big deal anyway, and it's nothing to promise him. "Okay." I turned to the Child of the Night and said, "Then you go back alone, right?" I went straight to May and I. ”
When May heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I still have something to prepare."
"What do you have to prepare? I'll help you prepare. "To set up the lines in the movie, I am hundreds of thousands a minute. It's a waste of my time to pack my bags with you here. ,,Five,I didn't be polite to me at all.,Immediately reported a list of a bunch of things to me.。 I now know what the son of the night and I are prophesying again, and after a long time, this May is not only similar to me, but also has a similar personality to me, and has been peeling off skin for a whole week.
The list is long, but it's all general stuff that isn't worth a lot of money at all. However, it is really strange to think that it is indeed a considerable expense for the average player, and besides, the list also includes two boats, one large and one small.
I asked May with the list. "What's going on with these two boats?"
"The place we are going to is at sea, and the big ship is the tool to get there, and after passing through there, there will be a special body of water, which must be entered by small boats."
"Okay, I see." I turned around and sent Lucky back to the Phoenix Dragon Space first, then released Ling and Xiaochun, and then opened the Gate of the Earth. In May's surprised gaze, I pulled out two sacks of crystal coins from the phoenix dragon space, and then asked Ling and Xiaochun to help me get the money, and then tore the shopping list into pieces and handed them to the Qilin warriors who came out one by one, and asked them to go to Ling and Xiaochun in groups of five to get the money and buy items separately, so that everyone would be much faster together.
After the list was all sent, the money barely moved, the crystal coin was very small and didn't take up much space, and besides, the sack was so big that it couldn't be seen at all. The list given in May is indeed a lot of things, but they are all bargains, so I didn't use much money, and I'm afraid I'll have to return a few sacks of change after buying things later.
I looked at May and said, "Okay, if there's anything else to prepare, I'll arrange it right away."
May took his eyes off the sack when he heard my words, probably he had never seen anyone use a sack to hold crystal thousands, and the average player carried three or five hundred crystal coins with him! A small cloth bag is done, but I am very good at using money, and sometimes I will even move money in boxes, and the sack is already small. "Boat." May reacted before he spoke, "You haven't prepared a ship yet."
"Oh yes, I almost forgot about it." I touched the Ring of Love and connected to the Ring of Love. "Wife, help me transfer a ship."
"What boat do you want? Where?"
"One big and one small. The big ones will do the trick with the watchmen, and the small ones will ...... You wait a minute, I'll ask. I looked up and asked, "How big is the ninja boat?"
May immediately said: "If you don't bring people, you can sit on the two of us, but it can't be too big, it's an underground river, there is a cave overhead, only two meters high from the water, and the boat is too big to pass."
I nodded and continued to Rose, "Just use the dolphin for the boat." Send us to the port of Longkou City. ”
"Arrive in ten minutes." Rose's efficiency is high, and the ship's problems are easily solved.
The Kirin Warriors arrived before they could return to the ship, and this Dragon's Mouth City was not far from Isengard, and our guild's ship was amazingly fast, arriving in just ten minutes. The port of Longkou was already full of people at this time, all pointing at this strange warship.
The Watchman is a leading observation ship that is generally used in the fleet for forward reconnaissance and over-the-horizon artillery fire guidance. Although it is not a battleship itself, it often moves with the large warships of our guild, and if it is too small, it can easily be overturned by the wake of a giant ship like the Eternity, so it is not much smaller even if it is not a battleship. The Watchman has a displacement of 1,000 tons, a length of about 60 meters, and is equipped with six large jet engines produced by Haizu Heavy Industries. It can run at a speed of 90 knots at full power, which is said to be a ship, but it is actually similar to an airplane.
"This is your ship?" May asked, looking incredulously at the very modern Watchman.
"Of course." I smiled and introduced, "This is a Watchman-class lead ship, although it doesn't have much combat effectiveness. But the performance is absolutely outstanding, and most importantly, it's fast. ”
May excitedly asked, "Is there a weapon on this ship?" What's that observatory-like thing on top of it?"
"There was a twenty-millimeter double-barreled smoothbore gun in the bow, nothing else. This is a leading ship, not a battleship, and it is not much use to ask for weapons. The observatory-like thing you just pointed to is the fairing of an optical lens, which hides a set of long-range viewing lenses that are no less than astronomical telescopes. ”
"Optical lenses? How far can you see?"
"If you look up, you can see an object the size of a car on the surface of the moon, but the earth is round, so you can see the horizon at most, and if you go forward, it will be blocked."
"Such a ship costs at least tens of thousands of crystal coins, right?" May asked.
"Tens of thousands?" I pointed to the observatory-like lens and said, "That thing can't be produced by our guild, it's all imported from Germany, and the purchase price is 4.5 million crystal coins per unit." The ship was loaded with six jet propulsion that only the Sea Tribe and we would build. Each unit costs 1,000,000 Crystal Coins. Thirteen rare metals were used for the hull shell, and the material cost of this shell alone was worth one million crystal coins. There is also a mirage system on board, which is completely unobservable as long as the enemy does not get close to within 700 meters after activation. In addition, there are many of the company's patented items on board. The total value is also quite a bit. ”
"What? This ship costs more than 10 million crystal coins?"
"Sixteen.7 million crystal coins to be exact."
"This, this, this...... That's too expensive, isn't it?"
I smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you nervous about?" I won't charge you for your ticket. ”
"I mean, who's going to buy it?"
"There are a lot of people who buy it, and they all want to buy it, but I don't sell it. This thing is a killer weapon in naval warfare, and it would be a fool to sell it to others and stab yourself. However, this thing is really too expensive, and our guild will only have seven or eight ships for each main fleet. ”
"How many main fleets do you have?"
"It's just three. There are many boats. It's just that there aren't enough people. There is no computer system in this game, and a ship costs thousands of NPCs, and the player has to match seven or eight. A fleet has at least a few thousand ships, and the player alone has to be tens of thousands. If it weren't for that, I would have built at least ten fleets. ”
Five, suddenly he noticed that there was a small thing on the back deck of the ship, and he immediately pointed over there and asked me, "What is that?"
"Ninja dolphins."
"Ninja dolphins?"
"It's the boat you want. It can fit four people, more than three meters with head and tail, up to seven meters of diving, and can also be driven on the sea. ”
"Submarines?"
"Semi-submersible ships, or ships, to be exact. This little thing is fast, and it can be drilled anywhere, so it's very useful. ”
"It's good to be rich!" May looked at the watchman and sighed.
I looked at May with some surprise. "Are you short of money?"
"It can't be said that there is a lack of money. It's just ......!"
I reached out and stopped him from going on. "I think I get what you mean."
"You understand?" This time it was May's turn to be surprised.
"You just aspire to live better. And you look like a bland perfectionist, which we're very much alike. ”
May also smiled at me and said, "We do have a lot in common, but the two of us can't be particularly good friends because we are too similar."
May was telling the truth. My personality makes it unlikely that I will be the kind of close friends with people who share my personality, because we are both strong and have a strong desire to control people or things around us. I guess that's the main reason why we're all friends with the Children of the Night. But although you can't be an iron buddy, it's nothing to be an ordinary friend.
"By the way, what is your profession? Since you're going to sea to do a mission, you're supposed to be a combat player, but why are you wearing overalls?"
May looked down at her clothes before she reacted. "My auxiliary profession is carpenter, this is my friend's shipyard, I don't have much money, but I want a ship to go to sea, so I asked him to help me build a ship. Although the money charged by people is relatively low, I am embarrassed that the White Giant's house is cheap!"
"I see. You're going to help offset some of the money, aren't you?"
"Yes. My main profession is actually a musketeer. ”
"Isn't musketeer a special profession in the United States? How did you get a job change?"
"That's not easy." May said with a smile: "The career system of the United States is different from that of other countries, as long as you do a few special tasks, you can transfer, unlike other countries with strict restrictions."
Many of the features of "Zero" are compiled with reference to reality, the United States in reality is a multi-ethnic country, so its policy restrictions in the game are not too strict, and you can transfer to their country's characteristic profession by doing tasks, unlike other country's characteristic professions, which have to land for the first time in another country or have the nationality of the other party to hope for a transfer.
"The musketeer is a subclass of the crossbowman, and it requires agility rather than strength, so why did you choose the carpenter as a secondary class?"
"I didn't know much about it at the beginning, so I chose it randomly." May suddenly said, "Your people are back."
I still looked at the sea and didn't look back, but opened my mouth and said, "I know." They are always in touch with me. ”
"It's really a convenient ability, but you have to be distracted from taking care of so many summons, are you busy?"
I pointed to my head, "I'm a little different here than you, but I can't tell you why it's different. Alright, now let's get on board, it's time for us to go. ”
The things that the Kirin Samurai brought back were messy, but fifth, there was a space equipment the size of a jewelry box, and the volume was quite large, and it was actually all packed in. After completing the supply, the minion was recovered. We went to the Watchmen together.
"President, where are you going this time?" The ship's members asked me.
"I don't know the place, the guide is there."
May didn't wait for the crew to ask him, and he said, "You go east first, and then I'll tell you where you turn to the ground."
"Okay. Please sit down. ”
May shook her head: "I like to stand on the bow of the boat. It was a nice feeling to be in the sea breeze. ”
The ship's crew all laughed, and May looked at them in confusion as they couldn't figure out what was going on, and finally the captain explained to him, "The Watchmen are equipped with six jet thrusters, do you know what the ship designed them for?"
May shook her head.
"Eternity." The captain continued: "The jet thrusters currently used by the Watchmen were originally designed for the main thrusters of the Eternity, and the Eternity is only equipped with eight, but the Eternity is 198,000 tons, but the Watcher is less than a thousand tons, so the unit propulsion is very large, and it is absolutely impossible for a person to stand on the ship at this speed. If you're standing at the bow of the ship, you'll notice yourself bleeding when the ship reaches its top speed. Because the wind speed has reached a level high enough to cause damage. ”
"Alas...... Then I'll sit down!" May honestly ran back and sat down in her seat, and then secured herself with a seat belt under our guidance. The crew of the ship also sat down, and the watchmen were not allowed to stand on the ground when they started.
The captain turned back to me and asked, "Are you ready to go?"
"Let's go."
The captain immediately ordered: "Get out of port." Vulgar forward. ”
The watchman slowly retreated from the harbor on the surface, then turned in a different direction and began to move forward slowly, albeit slowly. When May felt this speed, he thought we were making a big fuss, but just as he was about to speak, the captain suddenly said, "The propellers are fully open, and the maximum speed is reached."
"The thrusters are fully open. Speed 5 knots, 10 knots, 15 knots, 20 ......"
May only felt that she was suddenly pressed to her seat by a huge force, and she was completely unable to move, and even her breathing became a little miserable. The bow of the Watchman ground was completely out of the water, and the battleship rushed straight into the sea like a rocket.
"Eighty or eighty-five ......"
"Forced push lifted. Steady dìng speed. The captain ordered again.
"The speed is ninety knots, and the speed is steady."
The pressure disappeared as soon as the acceleration was over, but the speed of the battleship had reached an astonishing ninety knots. The bow of the ship is now completely out of the water, with only two hydrofoils left cleaving the waves, and only a little bit of the stern is still in the water, and the whole boat is almost out of the water. The Watchman is too fast, and it is too light, and it can't sink at top speed.
The captain jokingly said to May, "You can stand up now, but if you're going to go to the deck." I'd better tie two more harnesses around you. "Actually, the gate won't open at all when the watchman enters the top speed, and at this speed, the ship can throw the people on deck out with just a slight turn.
Today, the sea is relatively calm, but it has suffered a little bit from crossing the storm belt. I explained to May: "Now we can sail on this sea at will, if six months ago there would have been Japanese warships everywhere, and it would have been difficult for even fast lead ships like ours to sail safely in them, but now that Japanese warships are lying on the bottom of the sea, it is much safer here than before."
I'm telling the truth. The fighting has not stopped since the beginning of the war, and the ports of Japan have been almost destroyed by us. Matsumoto Masaga's successor, Nobunaga Ghost, was far less powerful than Matsumoto in naval warfare, so now the Japanese navy has been suppressed and almost cannot do without ports.
May seemed very excited to listen to my introduction, and I knew at a glance that he was also a hot-blooded guy. However, he is very serious, and he has not forgotten the work of leading the way while listening to my introduction. I was talking about it when he suddenly shouted, "Turn right thirty degrees."
"Turn right thirty degrees." The captain quickly ordered, and the battleship swung a beautiful arc at a wide angle like a motorcycle corner, and continued to sail in a straight line. The captain reminded: "At first glance, you are a person who rarely gets on the ship, please tell us in advance if you turn next time, not all ships can turn like the watchman!"
