Chapter 5 Time Slice

Vicky was obviously taken aback by my intention, and his team members also reacted strongly and unanimously disapproved of my opinion.

"What's wrong?" I looked at them pretending to be confused and asked: "What can't you do if the reward is huge? Although this is a cheating task, it is still a task, right? Since it is a task, it must be completed, you guys Just because I haven’t completed it doesn’t mean I can’t complete it, right? Besides, which mission is not dangerous? As long as there is a suitable reward. This mission actually has a lot of treasures and equipment to get, I think it can still be played.”

"Playing?" A Wiki team member said in surprise: "This is not a fun thing. President Ziri, you have to think carefully. If you can't complete the task, you have to hand over the two best pieces of equipment. We will lose Although I feel distressed about the two pieces of good equipment, the thing you have on you must be more exaggerated than ours, right? If we lose this, what's the point?"

I thought about it and said: "Although your statement is indeed reasonable, I still think there is no need to worry. This task is indeed quite difficult, but according to your description, this is not actually a very demanding task. You just It’s just that we haven’t found the right method. It’s impossible for the system to leave tasks that cannot be completed.”

After Wiki and the others heard what I said, they knew that I was determined to go in, so they changed their attitude. Wiki came forward and said: "In that case, we ask you to complete the mission for us before going in, or sign an agreement. We will only wait for you for two days. If you can't come out, we will have completed our guide mission."

I'm not angry at all about what Wiki said. Although they wanted to leave me alone, I think they were actually very kind. They have said before that they took this mission not because of my mission reward, but because they wanted to go to Duludu. They just couldn't get past the fault in the underground world, so they took this mission and hoped that I could take them. come over. Now that we have passed that fault and have found the signpost, that means they can go on their own even without me. In this case, I took the initiative to complete an additional task first, and they could leave immediately. Being able to sign an agreement with me and wait for two days would definitely be considered the most benevolent thing.

I didn't answer them immediately, but asked first: "Do you know the cycle of the pirate ship scene?"

Wiki replied directly: "A cycle is one hour and thirty-eight minutes. Someone has calculated this accurately. Why do you ask?"

After hearing this, I said directly: "Since the time is so short, you only need to wait for me for one day. If I haven't come out by this time tomorrow, even if you have completed the guide task, it will have nothing to do with you from now on."

Wiki and the others agreed without thinking, and then we signed an additional agreement to record those things for system justice, so that if I don't come out within the time limit, their task will be completed automatically.

Although I signed the agreement, Wiki and the others still persuaded me not to go in, but I had no intention of listening to their advice. In fact, the reason why I am so persistent in taking on this mission is not because I really like the treasures, but because I want to verify the coercive effect of my new title.

To be honest, I'm really not worried about the danger of this mission. The reason why I am so confident is not because I believe in my high level and strength, but because I have other reasons. High level and strong strength are of course one of the main reasons for my confidence, but I rely more on my own judgment.

The fact that those Icelandic players did not complete this task before can only mean that the task is relatively difficult, but no matter how difficult the task is, it cannot be too much higher than other tasks. After all, tasks also have difficulty ratings. Doesn't it mean that the rating is wrong if it exceeds the rating range? I have asked about the rating of this mission from the Wikipedia. According to them, this is an S-level mission, which is a high-difficulty mission. However, the most difficult tasks in "Zero" should be level 3s, and the next level is level 2s. The difficulty of this level S is indeed very high, but it is still two levels short of the highest difficulty. I have completed at least three 3s level tasks so far, and all 2s level tasks have been completed by more than double digits. This S-class is really not that worrying. As for the feedback from Icelandic players, I think the main problem may still be the thinking people. Many tasks in "Zero" actually have problem-solving ideas. It doesn't mean that you will be able to complete the task if you keep going all the way. Some tasks can't even be completed even if you kill all the hostile personnel. I don't think the players in Iceland are so bad that they can't even complete an S-class character by themselves. The problem must lie in their thinking. They may not have found the right direction for the task from the beginning, so they always failed to complete the task after working in vain.

In fact, in addition to the above idea, I have two other things to rely on that make me feel confident. The first reliance is my affinity, coercion and evil power attributes. Because of my high charm, I have a very high affinity for NPCs, which means that I can get extra help from NPCs. This kind of help may not necessarily be substantial help, but sometimes even a certain NPC can tell you a little bit more. considerations may also have a huge impact on your mission. As for coercion, although this sounds opposite to affinity, the actual effect is the same, that is, it will make NPCs help you more. As for the last evil power attribute, it will greatly increase the favorability of all undead creatures, almost to the extent that undead without alignment can treat them as one of their own. So, after hearing that the mission NPCs were all undead, I didn't care anymore. Of course, if none of the above works, or if the effect is not enough, and the task cannot be completed, I have a more awesome method that will definitely work out, but the investment will be a little larger. This method is to use the wish fruit in me.

Currently, I still have two Wish Fruits on me, one high-level and one mid-level. If I just force myself to leave the mission, I think the mid-level Wish Fruit is more than enough.

Precisely because there are three insurances, I insisted on giving it a try. After all, although one insurance cannot be said to be 100% sure, the possibility of being blocked by three insurances is too low, right? If I am still afraid of such a small risk, then I might as well commit suicide. Anyway, I might be killed by a meteorite falling from the sky even if I sleep at home. If I don’t want to be frightened, it would be easiest to commit suicide.

After the agreement was signed, I first asked Wiki and the others for all the details about the mission. After understanding everything they had heard, I walked towards the wreckage of the ship.

According to the Wiki, all you need to do to start the mission is to enter the ship, and this mission is a broadcast trigger mission, which means that although the mission is posted at the mission release site, it can be triggered even if you don't accept the mission, and it can still be triggered after completion. Receive the task rewards just like the person who took the task.

Jumping under the water towards the sunken ship, I stayed outside the huge sunken ship for a while and observed the style of the ship. It looked like a large sailing ship from the Age of Discovery. Although it was not small in size, it was similar to Modern warships are still incomparable. At least there are many ships much larger than this guy in our guild's fleet. If this ship enters our fleet, even if performance issues are not considered, it can only be regarded as a light frigate based on pure size. Transit cargo between gunboats.

After observing the characteristics of the ship, I lightly kicked off the ground and jumped up. Due to the buoyancy of the water, I rose three to four meters high with just one click. Then I flapped my wings back and immediately moved forward. past. Passing through the big hole on the side of the ship, I landed directly inside the ship. However, the moment my feet landed on the deck, the surrounding scene suddenly changed without any surprise, and a white halo appeared. At lightning speed, it quickly spread from the center of my feet to the surroundings, and as the halo flashed, the dilapidated, decayed, and sediment-covered shipwreck turned into a brand new warship in an instant. The missing bow and stern of the ship all appeared after the halo swept across it, and the hole I just entered was automatically repaired.

The scene had just been switched, and before I had time to carefully observe the surrounding environment, I suddenly heard the sound of running next to me. When I looked back, I saw a large group of dirty pirates wearing linen sailor uniforms running out of the passage next to me. Although they all glanced at me, they ignored me and ran directly past me. A staircase aft of my side led up to the upper deck.

Judging from the structures on the wreckage I saw when I fell in, my current location should be the first cabin below the open deck. The area here is very large. There are gun positions on the left and right sides. There are many barrels and ropes piled in the middle area. It is obvious that this is the artillery cabin.

I was very curious about the group of pirates that just ran past. They obviously glanced in my direction when they came out, which shows that they can see me, and several of them made evasive movements when passing me. This not only further shows that they can see me, but also proves that they can see me. It makes me and them exist on the same basis, rather than one of them being able to pass through the other's body like a ghost, otherwise they wouldn't need to hide to prevent them from hitting me.

Since they can see me and I'm not a member of the staff here, their reaction is strange. If you were a crew member on a pirate ship and suddenly found a stranger on board, how would you react? I wouldn't just run over like I didn't see him.

I was curious as to why they were ignoring me, so as soon as I thought about this problem, I turned around and ran out from the stairs where they just ran out.

Just as I had judged before, my location was the cabin on the first floor, so I went directly to the outside by going up the stairs. I didn't feel much in the cabin just now, but I could smell the fishy sea breeze as soon as I got up. In addition, it seemed that the number of pirates on the deck was far more than the group that just went up, but as many as two to three hundred people.

The pirates were all busy when I came up, so my appearance only made people nearby turn their heads and take a look, and then everyone went about their business. Obviously, people here can indeed see me, but they don't care about me at all, just like a ball of air.

Just when I wanted to stop someone and ask, a slightly hoarse but pleasant-sounding voice suddenly came from behind. "Don't interfere with my crew, intruders."

After hearing the sound, I turned around and saw the owner of the sound, who was also the owner of the ship. As a pirate captain, this bearded man has a good figure, is very strong and masculine, and his temperament and clothing also distinguish him from ordinary sailors.

"Are you the captain?"

"Are you?" The other party's answer was quite harsh.

Of course I am not someone who suffers easily. "If you feel like you're not a good fit, I wouldn't mind taking over the ship temporarily."

"Then you have to ask about my sword first."

when. Before the guy could react, I quickly pulled out Eternity and raised my sword to cut off his blade. By the time I realized that the blade had flown away, I had already taken back Eternity, as if I hadn't moved at all before. At the same time, he said: "No need to ask now."

Seeing my move, the surrounding crew members cheered and surrounded me. The skull and crossbones flag overhead speaks volumes about the ship's identity, and the pirates won't be polite to you. I whittled their captain's sword, and of course these guys immediately surrounded me and shouted as if they were going to charge at any time. However, before these guys could move, the captain stopped the restless crowd. "Don't touch him, don't delay our business." After saying that, he didn't care about the reactions of the people around him. He walked up directly and changed his previous tone and said enthusiastically: "Your strength is quite good, better than before. The intruders are much stronger. How about it? Help me make this deal? I will give you benefits."

"The deal you're talking about is the ship next to you?"

I didn't see it below before, but now on the deck I naturally saw another ship sailing alongside this ship. Compared with the ship here, that ship is slightly larger, but it is obviously not a battleship, but a merchant ship. At this time, the merchant ship has been hooked by the anchor hook of the pirates here and they are pulling the two ships together. There are actually many pirates on the opposite ship. Apparently the ship had been captured, but the looting hadn't started yet.

The captain glanced at the ship with complicated eyes, and then nodded. "Yes, that's the ship."

I asked him directly: "Didn't you capture it already? All you have to do is move it out. Don't you want to hire me as a porter?"

"No, no, no, it seems you haven't understood the current situation." The captain asked, "Do you find it strange that we don't seem to care about you?" I nodded, and the other party continued: "Actually, this is very strange. It’s easy to understand, because there have been countless intruders like you before. You are all intruders into our resting place. Don’t be surprised, we know that we are dead and sleeping on the bottom of the sea. Now this It's just a kind of rewinding of time fragments. We repeat the robbery before our death over and over again, but without exception we fail. We ourselves can't escape this cycle, but we guess that the reason why we can't rest in peace may be It’s because our wish has not been fulfilled, so as long as the robbery is successful, we can end this endless cycle.”

"So you tried various methods over and over again to complete this robbery?"

"Yes, we hope to complete the robbery so that we can completely rest in peace. But many, many warships will appear in a while, and we can't defeat them no matter what method we use, so we can only try again and again."

Hearing this, I asked curiously: "Since you knew you would be surrounded soon, why didn't you run forward? Leave the ship alone and run now. The other party hasn't shown up yet. Can't you run away?"
