Chapter 156 Crew
But as soon as I moved, someone lifted my back collar and threw it heavily onto the deck.
Damn it! It's that beard again.
The guy stared at a pair of cow eyes and shouted at me: "What are you doing? I'm raising a bitch, where are you going? Go and settle the windsurfing for me."
"Houfengfan? What kind of fun?" I was confused by these messy things. Just as I was about to ask, the beard ran away and shouted that others were going.
Is this still in the world? Why is it completely different from the world I am familiar with?
After leaving the sea so many times, I have never encountered a storm like now. Even if I encounter it, I can hide in the sea and never see you with NPC to rescue the sailboat.
"Quick! Get out the water over there!" In a daze, a short and fat old man suddenly ran towards me and stuffed a wooden ladle into my hand. He was carrying a pitch black bucket and was desperately pouring the accumulated water on the deck out.
Since I came here, I was at ease. The npcs in front of me were busier than the other ones, and I didn’t even want to find someone to ask for a question. After looking at the Pupu in my hand, I shrugged my shoulders and walked towards the short and fat old man.
"You complete a task, gain 200 experience, agility plus one."
My God! I still have experience in pumping water? Agility plus one, what does this concept mean!
I seemed to suddenly understand what the mysterious man said was the special cultivation. It turned out that no matter what I did, I had experience to get. If I were lucky, I would also have some points given away! Why didn’t I call me earlier for such a cheap thing?
Without saying a word, I immediately chased the busy sailors. As long as there was any work, I didn’t care whether I understood or not, I would do it first!
Of course, there is no experience to get if the mission fails, and it is possible that the bearded man will whip it a few times, and it will not lose much blood, but it hurts very much!
Moreover, all tasks do not have attribute points to add. After doing n times, I concluded that a task can only get one attribute point, sometimes it is agility, sometimes it is power, and sometimes it is insight. There are different rewards based on different tasks.
In the distance, the red sun rose on the sea level, proclaiming the thunderstorm dissipating. After a busy night, sailors ran into the warehouse, leaving only a few standing on the deck and doing the rest of the work.
Although I was so tired that night, it was worth it because of the rich experience and the free attributes. I have never played games like this before. Hey, let alone, it is quite fresh.
After standing on the bow of the ship for a while, I opened the map and wanted to find out where I was now, but the answer given to me was dark. I seemed to have fallen into a black hole in time and space. Everyone around me was NPC, and I was the only one who was a real player.
When I opened the taskbar, I found that there was a "hard training" task inside. It seemed that I was in an independent server now, and this server only existed for this separate task.
ocean!
The sea water is extremely pure and blue. The sea surface is as stable as the West Lake in spring morning. A breeze blows gently, only tens of thousands of small wrinkles that are extremely thin, but it makes the golden water surface look beautiful and charming under the sun.
sky!
The sky is also extremely pure blue, with only a few light clouds like tulle, which are flat against the sky and change shape at any time. Like the veil on a girl's face, she desperately wants to cover something, but makes the beauty more pure and natural.
Turning back, four large sails were spread out on the straight and towering mast, and on the high bowsprit, two spinners were also waving, full of breeze, making a rustling sound above my head. The snow-white sails were full of a unified dragon-shaped pattern - a golden dragon!
The flat deck is clean and transparent, and the golden railings are shining in the sun. This is the true face of the Chengfeng, which is the true face of the shipwreck I found at the bottom of the sea.
At this moment, she gently tilted her left head and slid on the blue sea.
*Since the day I accepted this mission, I have been forcibly staying on this sea boat called "Chengfeng", and have completely lost contact with the outside world. Not to mention using the city return talisman, even after I died, just like in the Soul-Suppressing Tower, I could only be resurrected on the spot.
This ship seems to be the ancient shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. Whether it is the layout of the room or the decorations inside, they are all surprisingly consistent. The only difference is probably those NPCs that are sailors.
I was given a brand new identity here - crew. Not only did I have to work with those NPCs to solve various problems encountered on the ship, but I also had to search for islands from time to time to fight monsters and do tasks. I could even collect materials and practice my tailoring and talisman making skills. Unlike before, all the objects I used were NPCs.
And those NPCs are not much different from ordinary players. They have various personalities and all kinds of emotions and desires. Everyone can also find different stories. For a long time, I relied on chatting with these NPCs, listening to the small stories that happened to them, digging out some legends about the history of heaven and earth that I could not find out elsewhere, and used this to pass the time.
After doing something small for a certain NPC, you can get a few small rewards, sometimes a pack of tailor-specific tools, sometimes dyes, and sometimes some delicious food.
It took me little time to get to know the NPC sailors on the boat, but also walked all over the place. On the boat, my movements were basically not restricted. But there were three places I couldn't get in. One was the captain's room. Not only me, but all the sailors were not qualified to get in. One was the room with a maroon wooden door. Because there was no Dragon Soul Order and the painting on my body, as long as I walked to the vicinity of that room, I would be told by the system that I was unwell and forced to teleport to the rest warehouse of my own.
Another one is the room where I found the love letter. For some reason, I couldn’t even find the room on the Chengfeng. Perhaps, it never existed at all?
The Chengfeng on the sea seemed to be moving towards a destination, but it never reached the so-called destination. And I stayed in this "forbidden area" for a whole year.
A year is not short, but not long. Although it is still the same as killing monsters, chatting, and practicing skills. However, for me who can only face some NPCs composed of data every day, it can almost be described as living a life as in the past year.
Three hundred and sixty-five days a year. I spent 365 years in this forbidden area. When I really come back, maybe when I meet players again, I will think that it is NPC.
Fortunately, this is just a game, and it is not really necessary to be locked in one place for a whole year. In addition to the virtual world in the game, I can also accompany my wife to wander around and go around the company for nothing. The files that used to look boring like boiled water have now become a remedy for me.
During this year, Chengfeng encountered countless pirate attacks, and powerful siren were also making monsters everywhere. After three or five days, I could encounter a sea storm, which made my experience like a balloon filled with hydrogen, continuing to rise, and there was no other chores. The proficiency of various weapons and skills was also mastered by me. I couldn't be more full. Unfortunately, I had no way to learn new skills and had no chance to change my career, so what I could use was only the previous skills and formulas.
Although I have tried to make special charms or clothes with new materials, a message from the system smashed my hopes: "Special task location. Can't record new recipes." So, even if I successfully made something, I can only improve my proficiency in the end. After the additional attributes are online again, they will disappear without a trace.
"bite!"
The system prompt sound that was so familiar that it was no longer familiar to me reached my ears, and the warm golden light surrounded me.
Level 70! This number is really exciting because it means that I have met the mysterious man’s request for me and can leave this ghost place and enter the real game world. But how should I go back?
While lowering his head and adding some points, Butler Li on the Chengfeng Route came towards me: "Young man, it's not bad. You have made such progress in just one year. I'm afraid that even I will not be your opponent now."
Butler Li is a gentle middle-aged man. He wears a jade-white long gown all day long and has a dragon-shaped golden pendant hanging around his neck, but I don’t dare to underestimate him at all, because this inconspicuous npc is a big ss of level 80. Of course, I am also at level 70 now. With my extra attribute points in the past and the points I earned when doing tasks, it is almost equivalent to a level 85 player, but compared with him, I may be a little weaker.
At least when I met a powerful siren at sea, Butler Li almost served as the main guardian. If it weren't for him, I and those NPC sailors might not be as simple as hanging three or five times.
I looked up and smiled at Butler Li, and said, "Sir, I've been on the Chengfeng Hunting for a whole year, but I haven't even seen the captain. I want to ask, when can I leave here?"
"I knew you couldn't stay here anymore." Butler Li narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "The captain wants to see you, in the lobby on the third floor."
"Where?" I was stunned for a moment, because what Housekeeper Li was talking about was the room with a maroon wooden door: "But I can't get close to that place."
"I know." Butler Li smiled and took off the pendant on his chest, handed it to my hand, and said, "So the captain asked me to hand this thing to you. If you hold it, you will not be restricted by that barrier."
After taking the golden pendant, I habitually threw the Sky Eye technique on it...
"Dragon Token: You can open the Dragon Enchantment."
The Dragon Barrier? I guessed that the mysterious man was not simple. I didn’t expect that he actually owned the Dragon token. He only needed to pass the Dragon Barrier to do a Silk Road mission. Can this Dragon Barrier not even take this Dragon Barrier seriously? If that is the case, wouldn’t I just take the Shiny Road Mission and enter the Western Continent at will without taking the Silk Road Mission?
I hung the pendant around my neck, and I said goodbye to Butler Li, and ran excitedly to the room with a maroon wooden door...
With a gentle push, a cold water flowed over my face. I suddenly darkened before my eyes. I returned to the room that emitted the night pearls a year ago. The surroundings were covered with cold sea water. The mysterious man was still standing in his original position, staring straight at the empty big fish tank in front of me, and the guqin without strings in his arms was still the guqin without strings.
"You are finally back. It seems that you have gained a lot in this year." The mysterious man turned his head and looked me up and down, and said with a little joy.
Damn! I threw me on the boat as a hard worker for a year, and actually ran away to say such sarcastic words.
"Can I leave here now?" I can't show any good looks when it comes to this NPC. It's better to give the task you should give as soon as possible, and say what you should say. It's easy for me to leave, and it's better to give some more quest rewards. But then again, there's probably no chance of rewards. After all, I've been here to level 70 this year and have got so many free attribute points, which is already the biggest reward.
The mysterious man looked at me, took two steps forward slowly, stood in front of the fish tank that was more than one person tall, stretched out his hand and stroked it carefully, as if he was stroking the lover's shoulder. He said, "Once upon a time, there was a dragon living here, but because of a person, the dragon disappeared. I want you to find the dragon and let her return to the boat. This is the task I want to give you."
Find a dragon? Do you want to bring it back? Damn it? I really think I am an omnipotent god. I guessed that this task would not be simple, otherwise it would not have taken a full year to level me up. But catching a dragon is still an oriental dragon... I don't think that the temper of the dragon is as good as our Yaya.
But it is no wonder that the dragon is about to escape.
I gave the mysterious man a blank look and said angrily: "You want me to find someone... it's okay to find a dragon, but you have to give me some clues. The world is so big, and you can't find it even if you find the ship sank. How could I bring it back with just one word?"
"Clues?" the mysterious man smiled and said, "Originally, that painting was the only clue, but now there is one more."
"What?"
Chapter completed!
