#138 - Second Battalion Commander, where is your Italian gun?
The Dream Star, not long after setting sail, plunged into a sea storm.
The storm raged, like an angry sea beast, trying to devour everything.
Waves crashed like giant iron hammers, violently striking the hull, each impact causing the ship to shake violently.
G-chan, responsible for steering, constantly tapped the WASD keys to maintain the ship's stability.
The whistling of the fierce wind swept past his ears, like the whispers of a siren, the sails flapping loudly.
At this time, the characters on the ship were also blown off balance.
Players stared intently at the QTE button prompts flashing on the screen: [↑] [←] [Left Mouse Button] [→] [↓] [Right Mouse Button] [Spacebar]...
Only by successfully completing the QTE could they steady themselves; a mistake could result in being swept into the raging sea and then respawning at the resurrection point on their own island.
During this phase, three players were thrown into the sea.
The live broadcast's comments exclaimed: "Holy crap, this ship is shaking more than the cafeteria auntie's rice scoop!"
Having finally navigated through the most dangerous edge of the storm, everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly!
Crack!
Blinding lightning illuminated the dark night sky, the electric light slicing towards the sailboat like a blade.
A mast caught fire after being struck, emitting a sharp wail.
Wang Tomato shouted, "Quick, water and ice-type spirits, put out the fire!"
Pfft!
With the cooperation of Snowball, Frost Spider, and several water-type spirits, they finally controlled the fire on the sailboat.
However, the thunderstorm in this area did not stop; small bolts of lightning continued to strike the deck.
"Everyone be careful not to get struck by lightning!"
G-chan gritted his teeth and frantically pressed the A key, turning the sailboat hard to port to avoid the largest lightning strike ahead.
On the lower left of the screen, the Dream Star's durability was displayed, currently only at about half.
Finally, after paying the price of five players, the sailboat finally left the rapids and whirlpools and the thunderstorm.
The comments exclaimed:
"Holy crap, the sea wave effects are so realistic; Taoyuan Township's technological innovation is amazing."
"The sea storm is so intense, I'm already feeling seasick just watching it! So exhilarating!"
"The ocean navigation gameplay is so rich; Taoyuan Township's imagination is too wild, right?"
"Stop talking; I want to be a captain right now!"
Suddenly, a thick fog rose on the sea.
Someone on deck exclaimed, "Look, isn't that a ship?"
Sure enough, an ancient ghost pirate ship slowly emerged from the fog.
Creak, creak...
The sound of the masts was like the whispers of ghosts.
This pirate ship had a sinister atmosphere, its hull black, covered with moss and vine-covered rotten wood.
Blood-red canvas swayed in the wind, a pirate flag fluttering on the mast, the rigging weathered and dilapidated by time.
On the deck, the shadows of many crew members could be vaguely seen, their tattered sailor uniforms still stained with traces of past blood.
The skeletal crew members had hollow eye sockets that flickered with ghostly fire.
The captain sat in his position, wearing a faded scarlet pirate coat and a wide-brimmed pirate hat.
His face was covered with green dead flesh, his skull exposed, and deep blue flames burned in his two empty eye sockets.
His belt was inlaid with worn silver coins. His fingers were like withered bones, gripping an ancient and mottled pirate sword.
G-chan excitedly and tremblingly opened the captain's attribute description:
[Captain Jack]
Quality: Legendary
Level: ???
Attribute: Ghost
Description: In life, he was a great pirate active in the Caribbean Sea; now, he is the immortal captain of the "Black Pearl," the overlord of the Dead Sea, skilled at summoning ghost fleets for naval battles.
The comments exclaimed: "Holy crap? Jack Sparrow is also a spirit that can be captured in the game?"
Captain Jack's skeletal face revealed a sly smile, raising his gleaming, chilling blade and shouting, letting out a piercing cry.
With his command, the Black Pearl began to rapidly approach the Dream Star, the cannons on both sides of the hull firing, the cannons deafening and sparks flying.
The Dream Star was quickly hit, its durability dropping by a tenth immediately.
Wang Tomato quickly ran to a cannon on one side, shouting into the public microphone:
"Second Battalion Commander, where's your Italian cannon? Bring it over here! Think of a way to fire a shot at him!"
The players excitedly ran to the cannon positions, aiming at the Black Pearl with their mouse cursors and firing.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two ships turned into two flashes of lightning in this misty sea, chasing and firing at each other.
Loud noises rang out one after another, flames and smoke filled the air, and huge shells spewed out, flying toward each other like hot meteors.
Soon, players were hit and fell into the sea, but others quickly filled their spots.
G-chan steered with all his attention, playing 'Qin King Wraps Around the Pillar' with the Black Pearl.
After reducing the Black Pearl's durability to a certain extent, Captain Jack shouted again, the Black Pearl pulling alongside the Dream Star and slowly approaching, the skeleton crew jumping onto the Dream Star's deck, engaging in boarding combat with the players.
The players summoned their own spirits to fight, the deck flashing with magical light of various attributes.
The skeleton crew members were too powerful, and for a time, the battle fell into a stalemate.
Seeing the battle deadlocked, G-chan gritted his teeth and summoned Whale Dream.
The newest novel is first published on Liu 9 Shu Ba!
Although the current Whale Dream was still in its juvenile stage, its body was still like a giant mountain.
After Whale Dream cried out, it opened its mouth and sucked in water, spraying a huge column of water towards the Black Pearl, the ghost crew members being swept everywhere.
Captain Jack clicked his tongue, preparing to attack Whale Dream with his sword.
At this critical moment, Wang Tomato controlled the spirits Flower Fairy and Snowball, approaching Jack's back like shadows and launching a backstab attack...
Captain Jack let out a painful howl but then turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
The comments were filled with:
"Holy crap, the ghost ship design is too cool; it's got a bit of a 'Pirates of the Caribbean' vibe."
"I feel like I'm on the ship, experiencing an intense naval battle; it's too exciting!"
"Teacher Tomato is a professional at delivering the final blow, hahaha!"
...
After coming out of the Misty Sea, the 12 remaining crew members on the ship finally arrived at the vast new sea area and saw the World Central Island.
World Central Island was more than 20 times larger than the Regional Central Island; you could even think of this place as a small continent.
The various buildings on the island were dazzling.
Central Temple, Star Tower, Giant Airship Port, Psychedelic Forest, Waterfall Castle, Diagon Alley Market, Golden Beach, Time Hot Spring, Unicorn Ranch, Aether Cave, Sky Library...
A prompt popped up in front of G-chan: [Congratulations, the server you are on has opened a regular route to World Central Island]
Servers that have opened regular routes no longer have to go through lightning storms and misty seas every time.
Director Ju: "Holy crap, there seem to be many areas to explore on this World Central Island!"
Wang Tomato proudly chimed in, "How did you know I got Captain Jack's spirit egg?"
The public microphone said in unison, "Who asked you?"
Comments: "Hahaha, Teacher Tomato is bullied by the group as usual."
Just as there was joy on the Dream Star,
Suddenly!
In the distant sky, clouds began to gather, forming a huge vortex. This vortex emitted aurora, like a wormhole connecting different worlds.
From the vortex, three goddesses slowly descended.
The leading goddess, her white dress fluttering in the wind, her eyes filled with a mixture of wisdom and gentleness. The crystal scepter emitted a fresh green light, and various green leafy plants grew wildly around her.
The goddess next to her, her ponytail swaying in the wind, her off-the-shoulder dress radiating starlight, the stars jumping around her like notes with every gesture.
The smallest goddess, with pigtails, had a pair of small wings behind her dress. Beside her, a fairy tale book floated, various fantasy creatures appearing and disappearing.
In an instant, heaven and earth were silent, the wind stopped, and the three goddesses' cute voices, like songs, resounded above the sea:
"Hello~ We are~ (^_)☆"
"The Three Sugar Goddesses~ (ゝω)"
"Welcome travelers to our territory, meow~ (ω)"
