Chapter 51: Chapter 48: Seeing the Rainbow after the Storm Chapter 51: Chapter 48: Seeing the Rainbow after the Storm Editor: Atlas Studios Let it go, definitely let it go!
How could the system really trap a player in the bathroom? It will always give a hint to let the player exit. Thereās no other choice, the opportunity cannot be missed, I must escape.
Itās now midnight, three days in the game is just 6 a.m. tomorrow, fine, go to sleep. Itās just a pity that with this escape, my God-level scroll is gone. If only life were as simple as the first meeting, Iād definitely not mess with that damn Mysterious Stealth Navigation, sigh.
The next day, the alarm clock woke Da Fei up, he quickly finished eating and drinking and went online.
At this time, the calm before the storm was indeed clear, the entire sky of the Desolate Sea Area was gloomy, the sea waves roaring. The bustling pier was filled with pirates busily tying up the docked ships. There were figures everywhere, collecting clothes from the streets.
A storm was imminent, and Da Fei also memorized the escape route, anxiously waiting for the chance to flee.
In the evening, thunder and lightning crashed as the roaring wind and torrential rain poured down; all the pirates retreated into their houses, and the whole world was pitch black. Amidst the dark rainy mist, you couldnāt see your hand in front of your face, only the sudden lightning momentarily illuminated the entire world.
Nowās the time! Da Fei activated Master-level Reconnaissance Skillās Stealth, leaned against the wall against the choking wind and rain, and climbed to the dock where the Flying was moored.
The massive hull of the Flying was firmly tied to the dock with hundreds of thick ropes, making a creaking noise as if about to split under the pounding storm and waves. Even the waters within the archipelago were so violent; Da Fei could already imagine the monstrous waves he would encounter after going to sea. Perhaps, the ship would sink as soon as it set sail. However, no matter the cost, I must escape.
With the perfect timing and location plus Da Feiās Grandmaster Stealth, the swaying oil lamp on the sentry post in the dockās wooden house was utterly useless. Da Fei successfully climbed onto his ship.
First, check the shipās status.
Ship Name: Flying (Task reward bound players cannot trade)
Captain: Da Fei
Shipās Special Skill: Divineās Blessing (Sailor Luck +2)
Ship Model: Large four-masted three-deck high-speed sailboat.
Ship Cargo Capacity: 1000 units
Ship Usage Time: 10 years
Minimum Sailor Capacity: 30
Ship Durability 1690/1690
Ship Speed: 10
Ship Armor Defense: Port Side 32, Starboard 80.
Sea God Insurance Level: 0 (The ship is not protected by the Sea God, if it has an accident it will sink forever)
Current Ship Status: Additional Armor on the left side fell off and was cursed by the Curse of Misfortune (Sailor Luck -3).
Turns out the pirates have repaired the ship these past few days, indeed they must have, but itās a pity thereās no solution for the upper limit on the shipās durability. Thereās nothing more to say now, cut off the ropes and leave.
āYou really came!ā A familiar and charming voice sounded from behind.
Da Fei was startled, quickly turned around, itās Catherine! At this moment, she wore a headscarf, gloves, and dual swords at her waist, perfectly dressed as a sailor ready for the sea!
In an instant, two words popped into Da Feiās head: elope!
Catherine laughed and said: āNot welcoming? Do you really think you can sail the ship away alone?ā
Holy moly, holy moly, holy moly!!! Legendary Hero, Legendary Hero, Legendary Hero!!! Beautiful Hero, Beautiful Hero, Beautiful Hero!!! Elope with me, elope with me, elope with me!!! Iām amazing!!! Hahaha! Wahahaha!
Da Fei was so excited that he was rolling on the ground with excitement; his thousand words condensed into two: āWelcome! Welcome!ā
Catherine laughed: āIāll steer, you cut the ropes tying the ship, start from the bow, as soon as you cut them all, immediately go and raise the main sail; just raise it halfway at most. Watch the wind direction, donāt let it blow the ship to the shore.ā
Da Fei hurriedly nodded like a pecking chicken: āOkay, okay, okay!ā
On this stormy night, when I was isolated and helpless, you were an angel sent by God; no, you are the Goddess! Iām in love with you!
No need to cut all the ropes; the giant waves directly snapped the ropes at the shipās stern, and the Flying burst out of the harbor like a wild horse, rushing to the giant waves of the open sea.
ā System Prompt: You struggled against the storm, gaining +1500 Experience!
ā System Prompt: You struggled against the storm, gaining +1500 Experience!
ā System Prompt: Warning! Leakage in third deck of the ship, urgently pump it out.
ā System Prompt: Warning! Left hull of the second deck has broken planks, urgently repair them.
The sailboat soared up and down in the stormās fierce winds and waves, Catherine skillfully controlled the ship to avoid the waves according to the wind. With the legendary hero steering, Da Fei, a player who knew nothing about steering, had a backbone. This sense of safety, solidity, and excitement set Da Feiās heart ablaze as he frantically moved about repairing things. Da Fei had too many questions to ask, never imagined that an NPC could make him so moved, so attached; this was love!
The wind howled, it was the scream of my love. The waves surged, it was the stirring of my love. The sailboat rocked, it was the cradle of my love with her! Haha! Wahahahaā¦
The storm passed, the sea and sky were one color, waves rolling.
Having battled all night, Da Fei and Catherine sat side by side at the shipās bow, watching the sunrise and the rainbow. The morning sun shone on Catherineās tired, damp face, reflecting a golden brilliance so dazzling Da Fei couldnāt look directly. Goddess, this is truly a goddess delivered to me!
Da Fei gazed deeply towards the east and said affectionately: āI never expected you to come to help me at the last minute. Come with me, letās trade together, make money together, and renovate our ship into a luxury yacht fit for a queen. Iāll give you a life like a queen.ā
Catherine chuckled and pulled out a gleaming piece of paper from the folds on her chest: āEven though youāve already said this once, I still love hearing it, returning it to you now!ā
ā Ah, the delight of regaining something lost made Da Fei cough up a mouthful of blood! The system indeed wouldnāt easily cheat the playerās equipment! The system not only restored the items to me, it also brought me a beauty! Sis, youāve been keeping such an important thing here all this time? What if it fell out? How confident are you in its storage feature? But confidence is good, I like it, wahahaha!
Catherine laughed again: āI decided to help you because youāre resolutely not becoming a pirate, even if it means giving up something so important. Do you understand?ā
Da Fei was taken aback: āYou, you werenāt always urging me to become a pirate? Were you testing me?ā Did she really know what this piece of paper was?
Catherine laughed heartily: āYouāre right, the pirate world is indeed too small. Iāve always yearned for the world beyond islands, yearned for the noble lives of ladies. Iāve always fantasized about a true hero taking me away, and you are the hero who passed my test and was chosen by me! If you became a pirate, Iād just be a good friend with you, but since you wouldnāt join the pirates no matter what, Iād go with you!ā
As soon as she finished speaking, a row of system prompts flooded the screen!
ā System Prompt: Congratulations! Epic Hero Catherine has become your Vice Hero!
ā Beginner Tip: Congratulations! Youāve obtained your first Vice Hero. Once by your side, a Vice Hero who is defeated will appear in your Vice Hero space, requiring a resurrection at the hero altar in a large city. Reviving heroes requires paying a fee, which increases with the hero level. However, if you have emergency medical talents, you can revive Vice Heroes after battle. Heroes revived through emergency care will be in a weakened state for a long period.
ā Beginner Tip: A ship is equivalent to moving territory, with sailing mode akin to territory management mode; a Captain can assign various duties to the Vice Hero, who can apply their talents in different positions. It is recommended to appoint your first Vice Hero as the First Officer.
ā First Officer: Deputy Captain, possessing all the captainās functions, able to cruise automatically when the captain is absent.
Da Fei now suddenly understood! Actually, her poetic demeanor had already hinted at it! So thatās how it was!
Luckily, my will was firm; otherwise, I wouldāve done the opposite! In the end, Iām still amazing! Now that everything is done, I graciously accept. Although I initially thought she was a Legendary Hero, but itās nearly impossible for Legendary Heroes to join players anyway; an Epic is just right, wahahaha!

At the Desolate Barbarian Pirate Port, Desolate Barbarian Pirate Leader Captain Rock stood all night until dawn at the watchtower, looking weary and lonely.
Barak yawned and approached: āBig brother, it seems Catherine went with that kid.ā
Rock relit the pipe dampened by the rain, exhaled a smoke ring deeply: āThat kidās young and already a navigator with unlimited potential. Catherine may have a better future with him.ā
Barak sighed: āWith this departure, Catherine may never return.ā
Rock laughed heartily, swung his hips a few times: āNo worries, Iāll just father another batch of daughters, wahahaha!ā
