Chapter 23: The Uninvited Guest
[Option 1: Politely refuse, and push the knife back to Dusty.] (Completion Reward: Random Plane Special Item x1)】
[Option 2: Take the knife and say thank you.] (Completion Reward: Random Skill XP +1)]
Sometimes, the options given by the system are always a little puzzling for Vivian.
Like now.
He really couldn't understand why refusing to use Dusty's knife would cause a certain level of danger, and then he would take on another ring mission.
Don't I want this knife, will Dusty still be angry and angry, suddenly burst out, and directly slash me to death?
However, if you think about it this way, the option you should choose naturally has to be chosen.
Vivian directly reached out and took the saber that Dusty handed him, and said with a smile, "Thank you." ”
The next second.
[You choose option 2 and get the reward: Tinkerer XP +1]
Listening to the sound in his head, Vivian looked down at the long knife he was holding in his hand.
The knife that Dusty gave him naturally could not be an ordinary saber.
The green handle, the pure white scabbard, and the scabbard were inlaid with ten gold buttons, and if he remembered correctly, it should have been called "Little Night Rain".
"Lend me the knife you've always cherished, woman."
You don't like me, do you?
Vivian looked at Dusty's erratic eyes, and he didn't even dare to look at him, and his heart suddenly became puzzled.
Odd..
If so, how did she fall in love with me?
Although he also knows that he is quite handsome, according to the setting in the original book, Dusty shouldn't look like the kind of person who can commit nymphomaniac, right?
"Or maybe it's my delusion?"
Shaking his head, Vivian returned to the cabin with his knife in hand.
...
Wow!
噌-噌-噌——!
In the bedroom, Vivian carefully polished the flintlock bullets, and through the oil lamp, beads that looked like lead bullets, but not like lead bullets, rolled on the floor, reflecting a faint light.
With the blessing of the craftsman's experience, Vivian is not only able to modify and make his own boats, but also has a high level of attainment in guns and other equipment, especially after the craftsman level has been accidentally promoted to the intermediate level in recent times, which makes it extremely easy for him to create an improved version of the gun that can be loaded with "armor-piercing bullets".
Vivian called it the "Alfred Sniper" and took his last name.
Of course, when it comes to armor-piercing bullets, it is actually about 20 to 30 percent stronger than ordinary lead bullets. But Rao is like this, without the bonus of this bullet, Vivian would not have been able to penetrate Ashborne's flesh when he was on an uninhabited island that day.
"I hope this thing will be less useful."
It is not very useful to deal with the strong, and it is not very useful to deal with the weak.
The feeling of killing is really uncomfortable.
After disassembling the firearm he was carrying and placing it in his uniform jacket, Vivian lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to take a nap.
The process of escorting the prisoners after that was a world different from Vivian's conjecture.
Calm.
Calm like never before.
Nothing happened along the way.
He had thought that he would encounter a lot of emergencies on the way, and no matter how bad it was, at least a few sea king-like creatures would jump out to attack the warship, but until Vivian sent Bucky and the others to the Push City Prison and imprisoned them, there was still no danger.
This made Vivian feel a little uneasy.
"Maybe this is a precursor to a storm?"
He thought so.
That night, on the way back.
[Mission: Bring Bucky to Advance City Prison (Completed)]
[Obtained a follow-up mission: will allow the warship to stay in the windless zone for one night (current ring 3)]
Vivian: ???
Sail your boat out into the windless zone for a night?
What is this?
Seeing this follow-up mission jump out, Vivian suddenly frowned, and his expression began to look hesitant.
His instinct told him that if he really did what was described in this mission, he would probably not be able to sleep tonight.
But if it is violated, it means that the reward of this ring mission will be given up, and everything you have done before will be in vain.
Wei Wei'an naturally didn't want to give up, although he was bent on stability and always pursued the word "Gou" in his actions, but the dragon's beating couldn't be in vain.
So Vivian said, "We'll rest for the night in the windless zone tonight. ”
"Yes! Vivian Cao Chang. ”
In the windless zone, the number of sea kings is very staggering, but because of the blessing of science and technology, the warship with the sea tower stone embedded in the bottom of the ship does not have to worry about being attacked.
Because of this, compared to the great shipping route and the four seas, it will be safer for warships to dock in the windless zone.
After a while, the helmsman docked the ship near a reef archipelago and glanced at the sky, which had completely darkened, and the visibility of the surroundings was almost as close as he could see except for the bright starry sky.
Leaving two handymen to patrol the deck, the rest of the men went back to their cabin rooms and fell asleep.
That night, around two o'clock in the morning.
Vivian, who didn't dare to fall asleep at all, walked to the bow of the boat, lit a cigar, and began to swallow the clouds.
I don't know how long it took.
"Huh?"
Snuffing out the cigarette butt in his hand and throwing it into the sea, Vivian cast his gaze on the distant sea, a huge ship with many lanterns hanging on its hull, and it appeared in his field of vision.
"Captain Viviancao, a ship is approaching!" With a secondary telescope in hand, one of the handymen in charge of reconnaissance hurriedly headed towards Vivian.
"I'm not blind, I can see."
Vivian frowned.
And at the same moment.
[Mission: Let the warship stay in the windless zone for one night (completed)]
[Option 1: Drive the warship over.] (Completion Reward: Overlord Domineering)]
[Option 2: Drop a lifeboat and approach the unknown ship alone.] (This is the fourth part of the follow-up mission)]
[Option 3: Stay where you are and wait for the ship to leave.] (Completion Reward: Random Attribute +1)]
[Note: Once the third option is selected, the follow-up mission will end in failure]
"Uhhhh
In other words, if you choose the first one, you will increase the difficulty again on the basis of the existing one, and open two ring quests at the same time.
If you choose the second one, you will continue to enter the current follow-up mission of the fourth ring.
Vivian touched his chin.
"Leave the ship alone, and if anything else happens, you can come down and inform me."
With that, he yawned, and under the watchful eye of the three handymen, he turned and walked into the cabin.
