(Note: Elifel has already learned Advanced Navigation Skill in Chapter 775, correction here.)
After finishing a delicious breakfast, Da Fei felt life became so fulfilling! People, whether with millions in assets or standing as the worldâs number one, sometimes all they truly desire is a bowl of beef noodles with a fried egg.
Da Fei logged back in. After switching over with the newly appointed Basic Navigation Skill Angel Sailors, the old crew members enjoyed their drinks and rested, with their stamina almost fully recovered.
Da Fei approached Elifel and asked, "How is everyoneâs state now? Can we start learning Advanced Navigation Skill?"
Elifel reported, "Sir, the Leader-level members are in good condition and can accept the learning of Advanced Navigation Skill. As for me, I can attempt to challenge the Expert Level Navigation Skill, although the success rate wonât be high. I suggest you start by training other members first to conserve your stamina."
Da Fei raised an eyebrow, "Success rate not high?"
Elifel frowned, "Yes, given my current level, understanding Expert Level skills is rather difficult."
Da Fei frowned, it seems thereâs finally a training threshold! After all, the reason the little Banshees reached Master Level was their high growth potential as immature forms, whereas Elifel is already an adult angel, lacking in growth potential.
This indeed is a problem. But, as long as itâs a probability issue, itâs not a real issue; itâs merely about trying hard, as failure is the mother of success, right? And perhaps this probability-related matter can be compensated by my Lucky Hand?
Da Fei nodded, "Alright, then Iâll start with training the members."
Da Fei approached the first Leader-level Power Angel and casually chatted, "Iâm about to teach you the Advanced Navigation Skill shortly, are you ready?"
The Power Angel replied robustly, "Power Angel Anvil is at your command anytime!"
Da Fei suddenly felt delighted, "You have a name?"
The Power Angel continued, "Power Angel Anvil is always at your service!"
Haha, wahahahaha! Thatâs right, when Elifel advanced from an elite to BOSS level, she too suddenly got a name! This is the sign of a troop becoming a BOSS.
Da Fei hurriedly opened the troop list, and sure enough, all 17 angels who became BOSS have names: Anvil, Shirley, Mira, Yuliy, Luli, Lena, Nerxia, Fiana, Lulier...
My goodness! I canât memorize them all! I only know all the good names are occupied by these 17, so how can other female NPCs compete? But I love it! Haha, wahahahaha! You are all my sweethearts!
However, judging by Anvilâs response, her intelligence was clearly not as agile as Elifelâs initially, but no matter, a troop with intelligence is cool. Letâs start training.
Da Fei took a deep breath and waved his hand! Amid expectations, a white light and a big screen of System Prompt displayed:
ââSystem Prompt: You have exerted the Master-level Special Soldier Training Skill âAngel Sailor Instructorâ on Leader Power Angel Anvil, successfully teaching Advanced Navigation Skill!
ââSystem Prompt: Your S-grade strategic treasure âGrand Marshal Instructorâs Whip Medalâ successfully facilitated Anvilâs skill learning.
ââSystem Prompt: Your Leader Power Angel Anvil has learned the special skill âAdvanced Navigation Skillâ, gained advanced growth, Attack +3, Defense +1, Defense life +200, Mana +100, Stamina +20.
ââSystem Prompt: Congratulations! In extremely harsh water conditions, you have proficiently mastered oar ship steering techniques, successfully comprehending the hidden navigation skill âOar Ship Mastery.â
ââSystem Prompt: You have gained information on Grandmaster-level Special Soldier Training Skill.
ââSystem Prompt: You have gained information on God-level Navigation Skill.
ââOar Ship Mastery: Hidden Navigation Skill. When using oar ships, the speed increases by 20%, turning performance enhances by 20%, wave-resistance ability rises.
...
Da Fei joyfully exclaimed, troop advancement is inevitable, and crucially, Iâve also comprehended a hidden skill!
With the comprehension of new skills, the giant paddle ship that had been stationary seemed to start slowly advancing upstream! Indeed, the skillâs effect is tangible. A speed increase of 20% is equivalent to learning an extra level of Navigation Skill, and enhanced wave-resistance can offset the disadvantage of low ship sides making oar ships difficult for open sea voyages.
However, aside from using it here, I doubt Iâll use oar ships in this lifetime, as the only one made with Narwhal Soul was given to Brother Hao. But itâs fine; with Oar Ship Mastery acquired, how far away can Sailboat Mastery be?
Anyway, swiftly teach all the BOSS-level angels, each advancement will make it easier to learn âHuman Form.â
And as Da Fei was busily training, Essinger, who had been meditating off to the side, watched with keen interest.
Finally, when Da Fei finished training two angels until exhaustion and sat down to rest, Essinger spoke, "I have never seen angels led by a lord like these."
Oh my! When an NPC actively chats, it surely means heâs been impressed, a sign of increased friendliness! Da Fei laughed, "Well, sir, uh, Master, youâre too kind. This is all a result of my Special Soldier Training."
Essinger nodded approvingly, "Good, the attributes and skills of regular troop types arenât a secret anymore. For a major power, competition is about production capacity and national strength, even if regular troop types lack secrets, their massive production offsets all shortcomings. But for special campaigns, possessing unfamiliar exclusive special soldiers often is the key to winning strategically. What does lord think is vital in Special Soldier Training?"
Da Fei raised a brow; his extensive talk with me surely means a plot has been triggered?
Da Fei chuckled, "The most important is troop aptitude. I once obtained the young Banshee under special circumstances, very intelligent, I taught them to learn Master Level in War Machine Science, which also led me to self-educate and achieve Master-level Special Soldier Training Skill. Next is the number of special skills, the more numerous and diverse, the harder it is to learn new special skills, and even harder to upgrade the skills. The first couple of young Banshees I trained were taught too much and faced an awkward position during my exploratory phase."
Essinger clapped and laughed, "Youâre worthy, lord, you may be self-taught, but youâve grasped the essence of Special Soldier Training."
Da Fei suddenly delighted, "Could it be Master also trains special soldiers?"
What the heck! Isnât that obvious? He is the Sky Cavalry Instructor, actually a colleague! Of course, he trains special soldiers!
Essinger said calmly, "I was the one trained into a special soldier!"
Ah-pfft! Da Fei almost burst out laughing, indeed itâs a sad tale. Yet, to encounter a colleague during my arduous self-studying exploration phase is extraordinarily lucky!
Da Fei eagerly said, "Please Master, advise me on where I lack!"
Essinger nodded and asked, "Since lord knows that the more and diverse the special skills, the harder it is to train troops, then what if troops start with no special skills at all?"
Da Fei suddenly startled, "Isnât that exactly like when I first encountered young Banshees? A blank slate is great for drafting text!"
Essinger laughed, "Thatâs right, which is why lord still lacks a crucial skill, Brainwashing!"
Da Fei was dumbstruck, "Brainwashing?"
Essinger nodded and pulled out a black-lighting scroll from his armor, "It was your salvation that led me to find my path back to Heaven. I possess nothing of value to offer as gratitude, thus let me show my appreciation using a skill learned from here amongst Demons!"
ââSystem Prompt: You gained the âBrainwashingâ Inheritance Scroll from the ancient Heroic Spirit Essinger.
ââBrainwashing Inheritance Scroll: Using this scroll acquires the sub-skill Brainwashing under Special Soldier Training Skill. Brainwashing randomly clears troopâs special skills.
Da Fei was jaw-dropping, damn it, having heard Elda talk about resurrected warriors being brainwashed, turns out there really is a brainwashing skill!
Essinger laughed, "Rest assured, core and high-level troop skills wonât be washed away. However, I advise against using Brainwashing more than once, too much use can wash troops into idiocy."
Da Fei was shocked, "This skill is too hazardous, isnât it?"
Essinger sighed, "After all, itâs a Demon skill, but we must admit itâs crude yet effective! So please use it at lordâs discretion."
