Chapter 208: Chapter 197: Brothers, Hold On! Chapter 208: Chapter 197: Brothers, Hold On! (PS: Thanks to the attentive readers who reminded me in the previous text, Da Fei was also awarded 1 Skill Point for the quest of purifying the Ancient Tree Space, so now Da Fei still has 1 Skill Point left.)
When Da Feiās Medium Ship followed the two large vessels and slowly set sail, the players in Elorin City were all astounded! Da Feiās Guild channel was even more sensational. Numerous curious players also set out in their own small boats, trailing behind to see what was going on.
Although it seemed that Da Fei no longer had a large ship, being able to steer such a big Medium Ship also placed him far ahead of the average players, no, ahead of the world. The mysterious fleet, the massive resource acquisition, everything indicated that Da Fei was about to make another big move. Just like the time when his entire ship disappeared without a trace.
Facing the noisy Guild channel, Da Fei said irritably, āDonāt make a big deal out of nothing, how will you guys continue to hang out with me if youāre scared by such trivial matters! Everyone calm down and be quiet! Also, the sea conditions have been quite poor recently, everyone should be careful when going out to sea.ā
Clearly, the undercover members ignored the meaning of āthe sea conditions have been quite poor,ā snickering internally and quickly expressed their stance: āBrother Fei, rest assured, we are not afraid of the Blood Sea Studio! Letās not be noisy and disturb Brother Fei.ā
āExactly, letās not bother Brother Fei.ā
Pfft! Keep pretending, just keep on pretending for me!
At this moment, Da Fei, who was feeling morose, was steering in the Cockpit, while Anlicia excitedly ran up and down the ship, obviously her first time at sea. From the leading white giant ship ahead, faint sounds of piano music could be heard, seemingly enjoying a sea voyage. Da Feiās mood soured even more. It wasnāt just being uncomfortable, but unease! Without a powerful NPC like Catherine at the helm, how skilled could a player be to continuously dodge reefs, waves, and monsters?
Now the fleet had reached the open sea where land was no longer in sight. In the wind and waves of the open sea, the fleetās speed increased more and more, and the small ships of the players behind were unable to keep up and one by one they turned back.
A massive wave struck, causing Da Feiās ship to suddenly lurch. Damn it, a Medium Ship is still a Medium Ship, obviously not cut out for the open sea. Damn it, could it be the Sea God messing with me? Anyway, thereās nothing much to say, use the last Skill Point!
ā-System Prompt: You have spent 1 Skill Point to learn āSkill Insights into Wave Resistanceā, and you have acquired the Navigatorās sub-skill Wave Resistance.
ā-Wave Resistance: A Navigator sub-skill. An excellent navigator can not only reduce the damage from huge waves to the ship but also utilize the momentum of the waves to further increase the shipās speed.
Suddenly, Da Fei remembered something. What exactly is this Sea Godās Curse? Doomed as soon as setting out to sea? Is it the result of the Sea Godās Divine Power creating storms and waves? According to the prompt of this Chamber of Commerce revival quest, the Sea God is determined to destroy the Dragon Cavalry Chamber of Commerce and will not rest until itās done, so there is bound to be disaster. But Makar also said that the North Sea is not a subtropical region, lacking the conditions for forming storms, hence even the Sea God couldnāt seize the opportunity, which is why this Medium Ship quest was given to me.
So hereās the question, how does the Sea God destroy those from the Chamber of Commerce who can only safely conduct trade in the near seas? There are neither strong winds nor huge waves there, nor are there sea monsters or hidden reefs, how does the Sea God seize the opportunity?
There are only two possible outcomes. One is that the Sea God has no power over the near seas, allowing them to freely sail and have a blast. If so, Brotherās Chamber of Commerce would slowly recover with the increase in trade volume and reputation. But completing an Epic Quest so easily and happily doesnāt seem very reliable.
So the second possibility is more likely, the Sea God puts forth his power, and even in the near seas, he will show his might! Let mortals understand the majesty of a god!
If itās the second case, it must expend the Sea Godās Divine Power, right? This is also equivalent to indirectly contending with the Sea God, isnāt it?
Suddenly, Da Feiās train of thought became clearer. What is the key to completing this Epic Quest?
Returning the Divine Artifact is clearly impossible. So there is only one possibility, to wear down the Sea God! To deplete the Sea Godās Divine Power!
Right! Thatās about it, brothers, hold the line! If nothing else, attract the Sea Godās attention for me and take some of the pressure off. Thatās still possible.
With that thought, Da Feiās depressed mood suddenly lifted quite a bit.
ā¦ā¦.
Da Fei barely stepped out of the arena after trampling people when he blew up the worldās number one guild, then set sail with the NPC fleet; these series of high-profile actions completely rocked the China Region. The forum for the game just bumped the video of the arena PK to the top news due to the explosive number of views, with subsequent videos following one after another. Players were no longer shocked by Da Feiās strength; the key question was, how much stronger could Da Fei possibly get? Was this the result of interests brought about by the National War? For a while, players who had participated in the public test flooded the forum to start various hair-pulling discussions.
And facing Da Feiās high profile, the big shots couldnāt stay calm either.
First off, it was Star with Eternal Star. All players who had seen the National War videos knew that Da Fei had massacred dozens of the core team players from Star, but up to now, Star had not made any statement. The reason, of course, is that on that night in the Ancient Tree Space, Bu Feiyan ran into Da Fei and sent out a guild invitation. Eternal Star has always been looking forward to Da Feiās reply.
Now with Da Fei getting stronger, they definitely couldnāt let him become an enemy. Eternal Star had been hesitating whether or not they should personally step forward to extend an invitation. The problem is, he killed dozens of guild members, and should the president go buttering him up to join the guild? Is that something the president should do? Wouldnāt that belittle Star?
Or should they leave the matter entirely to Little Deng? The same task, if done by men or a beauty, yields completely different effects; at least, no matter what outrageous things a beauty does, it wouldnāt cause too big of an impact. Anyway, they had to end Little Dengās vacation soon and get her to finalize this matter. If they really canāt get through to her on the phone, then theyāll shout for a few shemales to get on her account and trick this Da Fei into joining.
Of course, having a shemale log in is a last resort. At least thereās one thing that Eternal Star is still quite reassured about ā that is, Da Fei is unlikely to join Ninth Heaven. Not for anything else, just because the feud between Da Fei and Bloodrose Studio is escalating, and the relationship between Bloodrose Studio and Ninth Heaven is well known among players.
So, this brings us to Ninth Heaven. During this National War, Dragon Slayer and Star had their moments of glory internationally, but Ninth Heaven, which mainly attacked the Human Race, ended up as an ignored corner, just coming along for the ride. Ninth Heaven is currently holding back its strength and gathering forces everywhere.
And Da Fei, also of the Human Race, isnāt he a worthy target for Ninth Heaven to recruit? But with Bloodrose Studio causing such a fuss, how should Ninth Heaven handle it? Hair-pulling indeed.
Of course, the most hair-pulling trouble belongs to Blood Sea Wave, but thereās no need to mention that.
With Da Fei causing such a commotion in the China Region forum, itās believed that international players wonāt remain untouched either, especially those National Teams that have suffered under Da Feiās hands must surely be starting to urgently formulate new strategies, right?
ā¦
Day and night passed, and the first day at sea went by without encountering any danger. But Da Fei dared not be careless, firmly gripping the helm, looking left and right. At this moment, Da Fei was like a scaredy-cat, extremely cautious, every wave and every seagull tightly strumming Da Feiās tense nerves.
It seems that the guild channel is also calm and peaceful, apparently running into no danger. Damn it, it canāt be that these moles are hoarding without doing business, right? Impossible! With 0% commission, as a studio, they have no reason not to make money.
Night falls, and the stars fill the sky. The navigating Radiant Wings is brightly lit with festive lights and revelry. Holy crap! Are you really out here just for fun? Isnāt floating a big lamp like this in the sea just inviting all sorts of pirates and sea monsters?
Lacking common sense! Completely lacking common sense! Da Fei was so irritated it made his teeth itch. Darn it, it could only be hoped that when trouble comes, these pig-like teammates can perform with godlike combat strength.
A night passed without incident, and a new day begins.
The journey at sea is tedious and dull; Anlicia, after a day of curiosity, also lost her enthusiasm and started aimlessly fishing at the bow of the ship. Obviously, with the shipās fast speed, itās not very likely for any fish to bite.
Da Feiās strained nerves also began to feel fatigued and sleepy. Brother Sea God, please show up, I canāt stand this hair-pulling voyage. Da Fei began to feel extremely envious of Coltner; whether you say he is fearless due to ignorance, or he is nonchalant, at least he knows how to enjoy the life at sea. In fact, isnāt this exactly the ultimate goal that I, Brother Fei, am pursuing?
Just as Da Fei was feeling the strain, suddenly someone in the guild channel cried out, āDamn it! Thereās a whirlpool! My ship is being pulled into the whirlpool!ā
The guild channel was filled with commotion: āDamn! Such a huge whirlpool! Move away, move away!ā
āOh shoot, itās sinking!ā āNot even a bubble!ā āOh my goodness!ā
