Chapter 56: Drifting on the Vast Sea

"Maybe he'll have to wait a long time?"

The shadow of Stater Island gradually faded below the sea level, and Ethan leaned against the railing of the stern building, looking in the direction of Stater Island in a daze.

Arthur stood next to him, and heard Brent's greeting as well, but neither he nor Ethan had the idea of storming the sea immediately, so they didn't know how long they would have to stay in this sea.

"Theoretically, the longer we stay, the more we have a family, and the easier it will be for us to get through the initial discomfort when we go to a new sea. ”

But it can't be counted that way, and if he stays too long in this place that is no longer a threat to him, maybe he will gradually lose the momentum to move forward.

"I'm not going to keep him waiting too long. ”

"Is there a plan?"

Ethan shook his head decisively: "I don't have a clue at all!"

“......”

Arthur felt that Brent really had to wait for a long time, and Ethan, a young captain, sometimes had a clear purpose and considered Zhou Xiang, and seemed to be a good object to study. But sometimes this guy seems very out of tune, as if he has suddenly changed a person, which makes Arthur feel speechless.

"So where are we going now?"

"Float on the sea...... Drift to where it counts. ”

This time, he deliberately chose a different direction than the previous two times, but the specific destination has not yet been determined. Compared to the previous time when he had a goal as soon as he went to sea, this time, whether it was the space-time pointer or the island pointer, it did not give him a clear direction.

In desperation, Ethan had no choice but to drive the ship through the vast sea area to make all kinds of strange moves - in fact, it was to test what kind of speed the Dawning Goddess could achieve under the most favorable wind direction and speed. Later, we tested how to walk more efficiently in headwind situations.

These things are all knowledge recorded in Ethan's copy of the nautical book.

In fact, in the Sea of Calm, this knowledge is also taught. But it was all sailing with the old adventurers, passed down by the old people, and taught to the new generation of adventurers.

Ethan didn't have this process, he came out of the island, solved some difficulties with the help of the golden finger, and then went straight to the island of State, and then became an adventurer.

As a child, he learned to steer a sailboat under his father's tutelage, but it was only the basics, and the deeper things were not taught at all. After becoming an adventurer, he also wandered alone, and no one would teach him these things, so he could only rely on himself to slowly explore.

Even if a large amount of data was copied, there were a lot of troubles when actually operating, but fortunately, the wind speed and waves of the calm sea were always maintained at a very low level, and if it were replaced by the complex and changeable sea conditions on the earth, the ship would have been capsized by him.

In addition to practicing the handling of the boat, there is also daily practice.

This time he went to sea, not only did not reduce Ethan's daily cultivation time, but also increased his intensity. The time of the day is full of his schedule, and even at night, because of the lights, he has more time to read and study.

Correspondingly, fishing to increase the variety of ingredients has been put aside, anyway, there is a lot of food on the ship, and if it is left for too long, it will spoil and rot, Ethan and Arthur only have two people who can't quickly eliminate it, so they have to give priority to eliminating the inventory on the ship.

Only when the food is annoying, temporarily grab something to improve the food.

Because there are only two people on the ship, no one can escape the matter of cooking, and Arthur, who didn't know anything about it, practiced his cooking skills inexplicably.

Whether it's Arthur or Ethan, the things they make are just enough to eat, and the taste is passable, and there is basically no hope for what they want to make luxurious and delicious.

"I think we should put the chef's question in front of the doctor. ”

Ethan would say such things every time he filled his stomach, and then glanced at the pointer in his hand with anticipation, but unfortunately there was still no movement.

The space-time hand is still searching for something that hasn't changed in a long time, and the island hand is still in a state of chaotic oscillation.

Compared to the previous times, Ethan's luck this time seems to be not good.

"Well, there are always times when you are unlucky! It may have been too good before, but now this situation is normal, right?"

Ethan's guess was right, the floating and sinking islands of the Calm Sea are not so easy to find, otherwise there would not be so many adventurers struggling to get up and down the food and clothing line, stuck on the minimum warning line for a few months but unable to find anything, and then relying on frugality to maintain the minimum consumption to return home.

There are also countless adventurers who can only continue to wander the sea because their families have been emptied, hoping to find the island before they run out of ammunition and food, but they never return.

Just like Ethan did before, he locked on to the target not long after he went to sea, and he was able to collect space-time energy during the period, which is not a kind of luck that can be maintained for a long time.

"It's time to take advantage of this time to consolidate what you've gained during this time. ”

Anything else is good to say, such as the learning of various knowledge, and the magic improvement of the breakpoint continuation language knowledge that Ethan had thought about in the Resident Evil world before, these things have made some progress in the previous period.

Among them, the breakpoint transmission mode of knowledge inheritance, he has achieved considerable results, and Arthur even stepped forward to experience it himself twice.

Ethan was pleased with the conclusion: "It's just a little uncomfortable, but it doesn't make a difference." ”

Once he was sure that he was going in the wrong direction, the spell entered a slow and gradual improvement phase, and it didn't take long for it to finally take shape.

In terms of swordsmanship, because he practiced with Arthur every day, and with Arthur's targeted basic guidance beside him, Ethan gradually made up for his shortcomings, and with the increase of cultivation time, he was also steadily improving.

Not to mention spiritual power, as the focus of Ethan's cultivation system, it is also the key to his future achievements, he has never relaxed the cultivation of his spiritual power, and now he also adds at least a pack of cigarettes every day to assist in cultivation, so that spiritual power has been steadily increasing. Now, when he only talks about spiritual power, he has reached the standard of a true mage, although he is only a young mage who is just getting started.

These can be practiced on Stater Island, but there are some skills in hand that are not suitable for practice on Stater Island, such as the batch of thermal weapons brought back from the Biochemical World.

"This thing is very powerful. ”

During those times in the biochemical world, Arthur saw a lot of things that had a huge impact on his worldview. Especially after learning some of the contents of modern warfare with the help of Alice, she even began to think about whether she should study these so-called 'scientific knowledge' well and give up the cultivation of personal martial arts?

From a ruler's point of view, these weapons are far more important to a nation than a skilled individual.

In the end, Ethan broke his thoughts. With the technological level of the world in which Arthur lived, it would be useless to develop a whole industrial system from scratch, no matter how clever you are. You need many, many very smart people, and a lot more people to cooperate.

However, Ethan did not completely cut off Arthur's thoughts, telling him that there are many opportunities to enter a similar world in the future, and he can find more relevant information, cooperate with the reality of his world, and slowly sort out a set of practical plans, and just follow the plan after he goes back.

Of course, Ethan will also help, anyway, his 'experience' in this area is extremely rich, after all, it is not in vain to see so many kinds of Tian Wen in his previous life.

He even gave his own advice at the first time: "If nothing else, if you collect seeds and plant potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes, it will be enough to make your country countless times stronger." ”

Arthur looked back at the information on these things, and almost immediately realized the significance of these crops.

And Arthur, who has a spectrum in his heart, is also sure of one thing, that is, following Ethan's various worlds, he will harvest more 'potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes'.

Disassembling the pistol that had just finished firing a magazine, Arthur skillfully cleaned and maintained it before putting it away.

His movements are extremely smooth, like a veteran who has used a gun for many years, and then think of the shooting practice just now...... There was no indication that he and Ethan had been in contact with firearms for much of the same time.

"You're not at a good enough level of control over your body. Arthur explained this.

Ethan's cultivation of his body is still at a very basic level, and Arthur has been able to completely control his body to a certain extent, so he will be able to master these hands-on things faster.

"Then at my current cultivation speed, how long will it take to reach this level?"

Arthur thought for a moment, then shook his head at the end.

"It's hard to say, but it actually takes some talent. ”

Ethan was speechless, it does take talent. Looking up at the target, he looked at his position. It's just standing on the stern of the ship and setting up a target to shoot at the bow of the ship, which is only about ten meters away.

Ethan barely managed to get every shot on target, but Arthur was already able to do every shot near the bull's-eye.

"Unfortunately, ammunition is limited, so we can only use a little to familiarize ourselves with the use of firearms, otherwise I will have to make up for this talent gap with a lot of practice. ”

His talent is really not good, but fortunately, Ethan's luck is not bad, and he has a space-time pointer, so he is still very optimistic about his future.

Casually and habitually summoned the space-time pointer, and this time it was finally no longer showing that it was searching, but three arrows appeared, pointing firmly to the side ahead.

"There's a goal!"

Ethan is overjoyed, he has been floating aimlessly on the sea for three months, and some of the things that should be sorted out and consolidated have just been completed, and it seems that he is about to enter a boring day, and the time and space energy appears at the right time.

"This time, I wonder what kind of world it will be?"
