Chapter 20 The Storm is Coming
Walking through the portal, the adventurer who was still in the city just now appeared on a blue sea in the blink of an eye.
Beneath your feet are the swaying planks, the sound of the crashing waves, and the hula of the sails in the strong wind.
Shen Yi looked around and found that he was on a three-masted sailing ship.
The sailors were running around the ship, and someone was shouting, "The wind and waves are coming, lower the sails!"
A sailor even shouted at Shen Yi: "Mr. Dierman, please hurry up to the cabin!"
The bloody emblem on Shen Yi's hand has been prompted.
"Enter the pirates of the Caribbean world. ”
"Caribbean pirate world background: At the beginning of the 17th century, a group of merchants established the East India Company, with the support of the British government, launched a worldwide economic plunder, through a large number of maritime trade, for the British government to grab huge profits, in the process of trade to build a huge imperial naval fleet, become the sea hegemon. In order to establish a monopoly on maritime trade, the East India Company worked to develop its maritime power and attacked all non-East India Company merchant ships. From the 16th century onwards, the Caribbean Sea became a pirate paradise. The East India Company's maritime trade in the Caribbean was greatly affected by the presence of pirates. To this end, the East India Company repeatedly launched wars against pirates. On this sea, the Royal Navy fleet became the most powerful weapon of the East India Company, attacking all possible targets, including pirates and free trade vessels not licensed by the Company......"
"Main Quest: Escort cargo to the free port of Tutuga for trade. Mission Complete: Earn 2,000 Blood Points per cargo. If the goods are partially damaged, the blood points will be deducted as appropriate. The task execution time is one month, the task fails, and it is obliterated. ”
"Side quest 1: Wipe out the pirates. Kill pirate ships and pirates on board during escorts, rewarding 500 to 3,000 points for each one killed. The Black Pearl is six thousand points. There is no penalty for failing a mission. ”
"Side Mission 2: Clear the fleet. Destroy Royal Navy ships and their commanders during the escort, rewarding between 500 and 3,000 points for each ship destroyed. Dreadnought 6,000 points. There is no penalty for failing a mission. ”
"This mission is in free kill mode, and 42 adventurers participate in the mission. Adventurers attack each other and are not affected by damage nerf. Killing an adventurer will give you three random items or one designated item. ”
"All adventurers are free trade ship cargo owners, and will be attacked by both the British Royal Navy fleet and the pirate ship during their mission. ”
"The standard score of this mission is: 9,000 points. Score above the standard and get the top three, get a 10% to 30% blood point bonus. If the score is lower than the standard, 4,500 points will be deducted. Those who are not enough to have a bloody point, obliterate it. ”
"Optional Mission: Ghost Ship Captain David Jones issues a wishing order that grants a variety of wishes to people on condition that they work on his ship for a hundred years. By accepting the Wishing Order, you will receive a help from the Ghost Ship, but at the same time, you will also be hunted down by the Ghost Ship for refusing to serve on the Ghost Ship. ”
Seeing this, Shen Yi has basically understood the whole situation of this mission.
There is no doubt that this time he is separated from all his teammates again.
It's not too good, but it's not too bad - it's much better than being separated from the Lancet just after entering the mission world.
Shen Yi was very sure that the Assassin Blood Team had entered here. Before the Broken Blade team entered the portal, he clearly saw that Xie Rongjun was rushing towards this side with a gloomy face and a group of people.
To his surprise, this time, the free killing mode was clearly encouraging adventurers to kill each other. With a reward of 2,000 Blood Points for each cargo delivered to the port of Tutuca, the meaning of the city is simple and straightforward - you can grab the cargo from other adventurers if you want. Not only that, but killing each other can also get the other party's inheritance.
Among them, the main quest must be completed, and the side quest is to put it bluntly, you can do it yourself. You can not do it, but you can't meet the 9,000-point standard just by transporting goods. Once 4,500 points are deducted, the consequence is still death. It also doesn't take more than a month to deliver goods to Tutuja Port, so what is the extra time for?
This time, the optional missions are actually mandatory, the only difference is that you can decide how much you want to complete. Killing one target is killing, and killing a hundred targets is also killing.
Perhaps that's what the free-to-kill model is all about.
In addition, this mission actually has a standard score requirement, requiring adventurers to harvest no less than this number.
It looks like the city has set a passing mark for adventurers, and those who don't meet the standards will be punished.
As he was thinking, the sailor's voice sounded in his ears again: "Mr. Dierman, please hurry to the cabin!
"Thank you for your kindness, Fili, but it doesn't have to be. Shen Yi was already aware of the full situation of the ship he was on at this time.
The ship, called the Potato, was a cargo ship from Jamaica, but the captain was not Jamaican, but Spanish. At the end of the last century, the Spanish and the British had a naval duel in the English Channel, and the Spanish Armada was defeated to mark the beginning of Spain's decline. Encouraged by the aftermath of the naval war, Britain made considerable progress in commerce, exploration, and colonization, which became characteristic of the Elizabethan era and led to the rise of the East India Company.
Shen Yi's identity at this time was the employer of the Potato, and after adding a batch of goods from Jamaica, he hired the Potato to transport the goods for him.
――――――――
There were dark clouds in the distance, and it looked like there was really going to be a big storm coming. The sailors are busy.
Shen Yi stood at the bow of the ship wearing a windbreaker.
His attire is still from the 21st century, which completely distinguishes him from the ragged sailors.
The sailors were no stranger to the strangely dressed shipper, and since he wanted to withstand the storm, let him taste it, and he would know how powerful it was. Of course, they didn't know that Shen Yi didn't pay attention to the storm at all, and he was getting in touch with his teammates at this time.
"Everyone's okay?"
The gentle voice came clearly: "It's bad, I'm with a whole bunch of stinky men. But that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is that they actually treat me like a man!"
Hong Lang's laughing voice spread in the channel: "Who told you to change into men's clothes when you came in." ”
"I just didn't want to steal the limelight from the heroine, but I didn't expect that we didn't even have a chance to meet Captain Sparrow. ”
King Kong immediately said: "It's better this way, I like the world without plot restrictions." ”
"But there are cargo restrictions. Boss, the city has bad intentions this time, and he wants us to fight with others. Luo Hao also said.
"Yes, I saw it. Shen Yi replied: "I shipped a batch of cloves on my ship." Damn, that's what the British value the most. In order to monopolize the right to trade in cloves, they did not hesitate to wage war. Its value is probably second only to opium. The most outrageous thing is that these goods cannot be put into our coat of arms, that is, anyone can come and snatch the goods. ”
"Or burn it. King Kong added: "And the volume of these goods in the ship is not large, a ship can carry at least twenty cargoes." Bloody City has reserved enough space for each ship for us* others. ”
"Let's not consider this question for now, our main goal is to deal with the Assassin team, as for the mission...... Just do your best. Now let's decide where we are and meet as soon as possible. "Learning from the lessons of the last separation, this time each member brought their own compass and chart, which made it easy for them to find each other and establish their position.
But even without that, they could clearly determine each other's position - they weren't too far away, with 42 ships in the same area of water, looking at each other at a distance, not to mention locating.
But herein lies the problem.
For the Bloody City, it doesn't take into account the enmity between adventurers, so the ship closest to you may not be your teammate's ship, but your enemy.
The problem that gave Shen Yi a headache was that there were at least seven ships between him and his closest companions.
He wasn't sure how many of the seven ships belonged to the Lancers.
As long as two ships belong to the Assassins, and they discover themselves in time, the consequences are worrying.
In this case, the gathering of each other needs to be carefully chosen and treated carefully. If you find yourself surrounded by an enemy fleet, you'd better run away while you still have the chance, and if you're surrounded by an enemy, catch up with him and kill him!
This is exactly what the special environment of the ocean has caused, but it is not the most important thing.
――――――――――――
Xie Rongjun stood on the bow deck with a gloomy face, his expression more gloomy than the dark clouds in the sky. The external storm has not yet arrived, but Xie Rongjun's heart has already set off a shock.
Is it a coincidence? or is it deliberate?
Why did Shen Yi suddenly enter the mission world ahead of schedule and choose Pirates of the Caribbean?
Fighting on the water and fighting on land are two completely different things. It has so much that it has completely different requirements than it does on land.
Ships are like floating islands, moving forward in the waves, bumping, and the world on the water is always moving, intense, and unpredictable compared to the still continental world.
Worst of all, almost none of the members of the Lancet have been strengthened in this regard.
Thinking of this, Xie Rongjun looked at the hint of the bloody coat of arms again:
"You are currently in special terrain: ships. Affected by the wind and waves on the sea and the rocking of the ship, all abilities will be weakened by two. When you fight in the water, all of your attacks, movement speed, and attack speed will be reduced by 60% due to the resistance in the water, and will be further weakened based on the depth of the dive. Living on the water for long periods of time will further reduce your physique and ability to tolerate disease. ”
This fact almost drove Xie Rongjun crazy.
In the team channel, a dream voice came: "Lao Xie, the situation is not quite right, our strength is greatly affected by the environment." Except for the Joker, no one has a water-based specialization. ”
Twilight sneered, "So what? They don't have water-based specializations either. ”
"Stupid, they didn't have it before, it doesn't mean they don't now. Di Yu's voice was cold and flickering: "The battlefield is chosen by the enemy, since they dare to choose here, of course they will be prepared." ”
Is that so?
Xie Rongjun's heart suddenly rose with a deep sense of vigilance.
He said in a hoarse voice, "If that's the case, then who can tell me, how did Shen Yi know that we weren't good at water warfare, and where did he get the information?"
This time, no one could answer him.
The black clouds in the distance are getting closer, and a storm is coming.
To make a difference in this vast ocean world, adventurers must first experience the baptism of nature's fury.
