Chapter 20 The Storm Is Coming
After walking through the portal, the adventurer who was still in the city just now appeared on a piece of blue sea in a blink of an eye.
There are swaying ship planks under your feet, the sound of crashing waves in your ears, and the whirring of sails under the strong wind.
Shen Yi looked around, and found that he was on a three-masted sailboat.
The sailors were running up and down the ship, and someone was shouting, "The storm is coming, lower the sails! Lower the sails!"
A sailor even yelled at Shen Yi: "Mr. Dillman, please hurry to the cabin!"
The bloody crest in Shen Yi's hand has sent a reminder.
"Enter the world of Pirates of the Caribbean."
"Pirates of the Caribbean World Background: At the beginning of the 17th century, a group of businessmen established the East India Company, and with the support of the British government, they launched a worldwide economic plunder. In the process, a huge imperial navy fleet was established and became a sea supremacy. In order to establish a monopoly on maritime trade, the East India Company was committed to developing sea power and attacking all non-East India Company merchant ships. Since the 16th century, the Caribbean Sea has become A paradise for pirates. The maritime trade of the East India Company was greatly affected by the existence of pirates in the Caribbean Sea. For this reason, the East India Company launched wars against pirates many times. In this ocean, the British Royal Navy fleet became the East India Company The most powerful weapon, attacking all attackable targets, including pirates, and free trade ships not licensed by our company..."
"Main task: Escort the goods to the free port of Tutujia for trade. Mission completion: Each shipment can get 2,000 blood points. If the goods are partially damaged, blood points will be deducted as appropriate. The task execution time is one month. If the task fails, it will be obliterated."
"Submission 1: Eliminate pirates. Eliminate the pirate ship and the pirates on board during the escort process, and reward 500 to 3,000 points for each one eliminated. Black Pearl 6,000 points. There is no penalty for mission failure."
"Sub-task 2: Suppress the fleet. Eliminate the Royal Navy warships and their commanders during the escort process, and reward 500 to 3,000 points for each one destroyed. Dreadnought 6,000 points. There is no penalty for mission failure."
"This mission is a free killing mode. There are 42 adventurers participating in the mission. Adventurers attack each other and are not affected by damage weakening. Killing adventurers can get three random items or one specified item."
"All adventurers are cargo owners of free trade ships. During the mission, they will be attacked by the Royal Navy fleet and pirate ships at the same time."
"Standard score for this mission: 9,000 points. Those who are higher than the standard score and earn the top three will receive a 10% to 30% blood point bonus. Those who score below the standard score will deduct 4,500 points .Those with insufficient blood points shall be obliterated."
"Optional task: Davy Jones, the captain of the ghost ship, issued a wish order, which can grant people's various wishes, and the condition is to work on his ship for a hundred years. Accept the wish order, and you will get 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 was separated from all his teammates again.
The situation wasn't too good, but it wasn't too bad either—it was better than being parted with the Bloods when you first entered the mission world.
Shen Yi was very sure that the blood stabbing team had already entered here. Before the Broken Blade team entered the portal, he clearly saw Xie Rongjun leading a group of people with a gloomy expression towards this side.
To his surprise, the free killing mode this time obviously encouraged adventurers to kill each other. You can get a reward of 2,000 blood points for every shipment of goods to the port of Tutujia. The meaning of the city is simple and clear—as long as you want, you can grab the goods from other adventurers. Not only that, killing the other party can also get the other party's inheritance.
Among them, the main task must be completed, and the side task is to put it bluntly. You don't need to complete it, but just by transporting goods is not enough to reach the standard of 9,000 points.
Once 4,500 points are deducted, the consequence is still death. It also takes less than a month to deliver the goods to Tutujia Port, so what do you do with the extra time? Obviously, it is used to complete optional tasks for everyone.
The optional tasks this time are actually mandatory tasks, the only difference is that you can decide how many to complete. Killing one target is killing, killing a hundred targets is also killing.
Maybe that's what Free Kill mode is all about.
In addition, there is a standard score requirement for this mission, requiring adventurers to earn no less than this number.
It looks like a pass line set by the city for adventurers, and those who fail to meet the standard will be punished.
He was thinking, when the sailor's cry came again: "Mr. Dillman, please go to the cabin quickly! The storm is coming!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Philip, but it's not necessary." Shen Yi already knew all about the situation of the ship he was on at this time.
The ship was called the "Potato", and it was a cargo ship from Jamaica, but the captain was not a Jamaican, but a Spaniard. At the end of the last century, the Spaniards and the British once had a sea confrontation in the English Channel, and the fiasco of the Spanish Armada marked the beginning of Spain's decline. Inspired by the naval battle, Britain made considerable progress in commerce, exploration and colonization, which became a feature of the "Elizabeth" era and also contributed to the rise of the "East India Company".
Shen Yi's identity at this time is the employer of Potato, who hired Potato to transport the goods for him after importing a batch of goods from Jamaica.
———————
The distance is covered with dark clouds, and it seems that there is really a big storm coming. The sailors are all busy.
Shen Yi stood at the bow of the ship wearing a windbreaker.
His attire is still from the twenty-first century, which completely distinguishes him from the shabby sailors.
The sailors are used to seeing this strangely dressed cargo owner. Since he wants to bear the taste of the storm, let him taste it, and he will know how bad it is. Of course they didn't know that Shen Yi didn't pay attention to that storm at all, he was getting in touch with his teammates at this time.
"Is everyone okay?"
A gentle voice came clearly: "It's terrible, I'm with a large group of men who stink all over. But this is not the worst, the worst thing is that they even think of me as a man!"
Hong Lang's laughing voice spread through the channel: "Who told you to change into men's clothes when you came in?"
"I just didn't want to steal the heroine's limelight. I didn't expect that we wouldn't even have the chance to meet Captain Sparrow."
King Kong immediately said: "This is better, I like a world without plot restrictions."
"But there are cargo restrictions. Boss, the city has bad intentions this time, and deliberately made us fight with other people." Luo Hao also said.
"Yes, I saw it." Shen Yi replied: "I shipped a batch of cloves on my ship. Damn it, that is the most valued cargo for the British. In order to monopolize the right to trade cloves, they did not hesitate to start a war. Its value may be only Next to opium. The most outrageous thing is that these goods cannot be placed in our coat of arms, which means that anyone can come and snatch the goods."
"Or burn it." King Kong added: "And these goods are not big in the ship. A ship can hold at least twenty pieces of goods. Bloody City reserves enough space for each ship for us to *others. "
"Let's not think about this issue for the time being. Our main goal is to deal with the blood-stinging team. As for the mission... just do what you can. Now let's make sure of our respective positions and try to meet up as soon as possible." Learning from the lesson of being separated last time, this time Each member has his own compass and chart, which makes it easy for them to find each other and establish their positions.
But even without these, they can clearly determine each other's position - the distance between them is not too far, 42 ships are distributed in the same sea area, and they can look at each other from a distance, let alone have a positioning function.
But therein lies the problem.
For the bloody city, it doesn't consider the hatred between adventurers, so the ship closest to you may not be the ship of your teammates, but may be your enemy.
The problem that caused Shen Yi a headache was that there were at least seven ships between him and his companion who was closest to him.
He wasn't sure how many of the seven ships belonged to the Bleeding Team.
As long as there are two ships belonging to the blood stabbing team, and they find themselves in time, the consequences will be worrisome.
In this case, the gathering of each other needs to be carefully chosen and treated with prudence. If you find yourself surrounded by an enemy fleet, you'd better run away while you still have the chance, whereas if you surround an enemy, catch up to him and kill him!
This is a change caused by the special environment of the ocean, but this is not the most important.
———————————
Xie Rongjun stood on the bow deck with a gloomy expression, his expression was more hazy than the dark clouds in the sky. Before the external turmoil came, Xie Rongjun's heart was already filled with shock.
Is it a coincidence? Or deliberate?
Why did Shen Yi suddenly enter the mission world ahead of schedule and choose Pirates of the Caribbean?
Fighting on water is completely different from fighting on land. It has too many things that are completely different from the requirements of land.
Ships are like floating islands, moving forward and bumping in the waves. Compared with the static land world, the water world is always active, intense, and unpredictable at the same time.
The worst part is that almost none of the members of the bloodthirsty team have been strengthened in this regard.
Thinking of this, Xie Rongjun looked at the reminder of the bloody coat of arms again:
"You are currently in a special terrain: a ship. Affected by the wind and waves on the sea surface and the sway of the ship, the performance of all abilities will be weakened by 20%. When you are fighting in the water, affected by the resistance in the water, all your attacks, movement speed and attack The speed will be weakened by 60%, and further weakened according to the diving depth. Long-term water life will further reduce your physical fitness and disease resistance."
This fact almost drove Xie Rongjun crazy.
In the team channel, Meng Weijue's words came: "Old Xie, something is wrong. Our strength is greatly affected by the environment. Except for the clown, no one has water-based specialization."
Ming sneered: "So what? They don't have water-based specialization either."
"Idiot, they didn't have it before, but it doesn't mean they don't have it now." Di Yu's voice was cold and erratic: "The battlefield is chosen by the enemy. Since they dare to choose this place, of course they will be prepared."
Is that so?
Xie Rongjun suddenly felt a deep sense of vigilance.
He hoarsely said: "If this is the case, then who can tell me, how did Shen Yi know that we are not good at water warfare? Where did he get the information from?"
This time, no one could answer him.
The dark clouds in the distance are getting closer and closer, and a storm is about to hit.
In order to show their talents in this vast ocean world, adventurers must first experience the violent baptism of nature.
