Looking around the space I was in, it seemed like a rest and entertainment room for sailors.
Not to mention, it’s quite spacious.
There is a whole row of windows along the wall, and you can imagine that when the weather is good, plenty of sunlight will come in.
The coffee machine, stereo, sofa and other supporting facilities are very complete.
What a pity is that it is still full of cobwebs and dust, and has long been abandoned.
The sound of talking came from the direction of the bar.
When he got there, he saw seven shadowy figures, some of them were men and some were not even human.
As I got closer, I could hear their clear conversation.
"Would you like to come to my room to play cards tonight? We are short of three people."
"Oh, it's annoying. You never play cards properly. I won't go~!"
"Can someone help me open this bag of instant noodles? I want to eat it."
"You're already dead, what are you eating?"
"It's so boring. When will new members join us?"
"Humph, a bunch of ghosts. If I were a hundred years younger, I would beat you to pieces in a minute."
"Come on, you didn't live to be a hundred years old when you were alive."
It sounds like these guys have some personality, and don't seem like the mechanical NPCs in events.
The other party didn't seem to notice Shi Li's arrival, and Shi Li began to look at them one by one.
A handsome middle-aged man with a beard, it was him who just called for playing cards.
The one who rejected the invitation to play cards was a beautiful woman dressed seductively.
The guy who wants to eat instant noodles has a body structure like noodles intertwined together. He is similar to the straw man, but looks much smarter than the straw man and has a normal IQ.
Straw Man: What are you talking about, grass?
The one who complained about the noodle man was a bearded man wearing a chef's hat.
The one who shouted "bored" was a burly, concave-shaped lizard man.
The one with bad temper who calls himself old man is actually the youngest-looking one and is a panda.
Sitting next to the panda and complaining about it was a robot with legs that was shaped like an alarm clock and was actually as big as an alarm clock.
Without exception, they all have a Youyou physique.
[During the voyage of the Doram, countless passengers boarded and disembarked]
At this moment, lines of text introduction suddenly popped up in front of him.
[However, several of the passengers had no destination from the moment they boarded the ship.]
[So they accompanied the Doram until its demise]
[Please select a passenger and fulfill his wish]
As the last line of text appeared, Shi Li suddenly felt that the aura around him had changed.
I went from being a bystander to being an integrated part of the community.
That's the feeling.
"Wow! A living person appeared out of nowhere!"
The small alarm clock standing on the bar was the first to notice Shi Li's appearance.
Its exclamation immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"oh?"
The noodle man raised his thick eyebrows.
"Can you play cards?"
The middle-aged man's eyes immediately lit up.
"Wow, what a handsome boy!"
The beautiful woman took out a handkerchief from the mountains and wiped the corners of her mouth with a smile.
"A living person? How boring."
The big lizard still looked indifferent.
"It's really strange. I haven't seen a living person for a long time."
Only the bearded chef's reaction was relatively normal.
“…”
Shi Li guessed that these Youyou might have been on the boat for too long and their brains were blocked.
But he didn't need to say anything, the noodle man came over.
She grasped his hands and said enthusiastically: "Finally a living person has come. Hahaha! I've been waiting for a long time!"
"Human brother, can you please do me a small favor?"
"I ordered a box of instant noodles ten years ago and I still haven't received it."
"Every time I ask the seller, they always give me a bunch of excuses, saying that the goods have been shipped and are on the way."
“But I haven’t seen him yet!”
"Can you help me go to the shipping point to check whether they have shipped the goods?"
The noodle man spoke out his requests in rapid succession.
“…”
But after hearing this, Shi Li didn't know what to say.
Because there are simply too many things to complain about.
The instant noodles I ordered ten years ago, the persistent buyer, the seller who always replies...
Then, subtitles popped up in front of me.
[Do you accept unlimited time tasks?]
[In the Road of Rage, help the face maniac check the logistics]
"?"
Seeing these two lines of words, Shi Li was dumbfounded.
What do you mean, unlimited time mission?
Does it mean to let yourself go on the path of violence?
"Can you take me there, then?"
He was a little moved.
I still remember the free money I made from [The Way of Wisdom] last time.
"? What are you talking about? Do you want me to take you to the shipping point again?"
The noodle man's noodle face forced out a puzzled expression: "If I can go by myself, why would I need you for anything?"
"Forehead……"
Shi Li understood after hearing this.
Basically, this NPC will give you a task that needs to be completed in [Way of Fury].
But how to get to the [Road of Violence] is up to him to figure out.
"Don't pay attention to him, little brother. Why don't you come and help me?"
With the precedent set by the noodle man, the middle-aged man squeezed over.
"I'm currently making a magic puppet that can play cards with me, but I'm lacking a material."
"I would like you to help me find this key material. I am different from him. I can provide a map."
[Do you accept unlimited time tasks?]
[In the Way of Wisdom, help Mr. Que find the core material]
“…”
Shi Li was helpless in this mission, after all, he would not encounter turbulence every time.
What's more, even if you encounter it, is it certain that you can travel to the [Path of Wisdom]?
So what’s the use of having a map?
Then, the little alarm clock jumped onto the noodle man's head.
"There is a perpetual motion clock in my hometown. Can you get me a photo of it?"
"I want to calibrate the time according to it."
[Do you accept unlimited time tasks?]
[In Listening to the Wind, help Nao Nao take a photo of the perpetual motion clock]
“…”
This guy might have a brain short circuit using photos to calibrate time.
But Shi Li understood that these seven guys should correspond to the tasks of the seven systems.
"If you are bored too, you can go find me a piece of diamond iron."
“The scales haven’t been polished for a long time.”
[Do you accept unlimited time tasks?]
[In the Path of Determination, help the Lizardmen seize a diamond iron mine]
The lizard man picked at the gaps between his teeth with his pointed nails, seemingly as a habitual action.
Its mission is carried out in the [Path of Firmness].
"I have an enemy, if only you could help me."
[Do you accept unlimited time tasks?]
[In The Way of Balance, defeat an enemy for Panda]
The panda crossed its arms, which was obviously a cool action but looked very silly.
Its mission is carried out in the [Way of Balance].
"My request is not as complicated as theirs. It's just that my kitchen utensils were left in the vice-captain's room."
"Can you please help me get it back?"
"Of course, if you meet that monster, oh no, if you meet the vice-captain, it would be even better to kill him at the same time."
[Do you accept unlimited time tasks?]
[In this level, find the ship's kitchen tools (optional: kill the deputy captain)]
This cook is the chef of the Doram.
So the mission location is here, it can be regarded as the mission of [The Way of Chasing the Wind].
"Little brother, do you want to come and accompany me, hehe..."
[Do you accept unlimited time tasks?]
[In Sister Eggplant's room, accept some tests]
The beautiful woman took out a cylindrical object of unknown material and unknown purpose (?).
"!!!"
After hearing this last task, Shi Li's face turned green on the spot.
Obviously the first six tasks were all normal.
But when it comes to the last one, the style of painting suddenly changes.
"Unlimited time", "Eggplant and melon", "Test"
The more I read these words, the more shocking they become.
Could it be that this is the method to break the situation?
He subconsciously stepped back a little.
But if I think about it carefully, the tasks I can complete at the moment are probably only the panda and the cook's.
One is done in [Balance] and the other is done locally.
I don’t have the keys for other copies yet.
So his eyes began to look back and forth between the two.
"Let me help Panda first."
In the end, he felt that the panda seemed to be of higher status, and perhaps the reward would be better.
"Tsk, boring."
“What a shame.”
"It's so boring. I can only grind on my own."
"Hmph, if I'm not on time it's all your fault!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Those kitchen utensils should have rusted a long time ago anyway, alas."
"Brother, you can still come to see me anytime, I don't mind~"
[Do you accept unlimited time tasks?]
[In Sister Eggplant's room, accept more tests]
Only here at Qiegua, the mission invitation popped up again.
And even though I kept saying that I didn’t mind, the result was that “some tests” turned into “more tests”.
"No, no."
Shi Li quickly refused.
Afterwards, the rest of the Youyous drilled into the ground, passed through the walls, and disappeared completely.
"You are quite sensible, boy."
Only the panda Panda was left, looking Shi Li up and down.
Next, it began to tell Shi Li its story in detail.
Basically, it had a senior brother who was jealous of its talent, and then one day suddenly framed it, causing it to fall into turbulence and into an unfamiliar sea.
Finally, he was rescued by the passing Doram and spent the rest of his life on the ship.
I once wanted to find an opportunity for revenge, but I couldn't even find the way home.
[Get the mission——Panda’s long-cherished wish]
[Find Panda's enemy Penguin in the zeroth level of the Way of Balance and defeat him]
After listening to Panda's story, Shi Li got a clearer picture of the task details.
It just so happens that next time when he goes to [The Way of Balance], he will definitely be at least level 11. By then, he must at least clear the small level of the zeroth level to get the extra reward.
"Okay, that's enough."
"Stay tuned for good news."
After saying that, Panda saluted towards Shi Li.
Then his figure flashed and disappeared before his eyes.
"By the way, take this, maybe it can be of some help to you."
A few seconds later, Panda reappeared.
He took out a ball of light from his body and threw it to him, then disappeared again.
[Ding Dong! ]
[Pass Level 1 and Level 2]
[Please select 1 card from the unknown card, strength E~C]
As Panda disappeared, a subtitle panel popped up, indicating that the level had been passed.
Even if monsters that need to be fought appear during the [Event], they will not be included in the drawable range.
So there are no options in this level, only one reward.
I drew 1 out of 20 in two consecutive times, and the results were both average.
After all, a card pool of 20 cards has too small a capacity and is highly unstable.
“This is…”
After choosing the cards, Shi Li remembered that the ball of light that Panda had just given him was still in his hand.
The ball of light feels hard to the touch, like a layer of shell.
Without knowing it, he exerted a little force with his palm.
Crack...!
Unexpectedly, a crack appeared in the light ball.
call out!
A beam of light shot out from inside and circled in the air.
The broken shell of the light ball in Shi Li's hand gradually dissipated.
Finally, when the light fell into his hand, it turned into a card.
"Spell card!"
When Shi Li saw this thing, his eyes lit up.
It turned out that I made the right choice by choosing [Event] this time. Not only did I receive an unexpected task, but I also got a spell card.
Let’s take a look at the effect of this spell card.
[Panda's Power]: When your own card releases a damaging control skill, the damage caused is doubled.
"Top-quality spell card!"
When Shi Li saw it, his brows lit up with joy.
Originally, he brought [Balance - Throttling★] with him on this trip: When your own card releases a control skill, it restores 1 energy point.
Therefore, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] can directly and infinitely fire [Two-Combo Secret].
If the damage is doubled now, wouldn’t it be invincible?
Just with this card, she can deal 160 points of damage in one round!
“Is this the charm of spell cards?”
He had taken a few spell cards before, but the effects were quite average, far inferior to this [Panda's Power].
This gave Shi Li an idea. If he could choose [Event] every time, and collect a few cards of the [Panda's Power] level in the same trip...
I did it as soon as I thought of it, and there were two portals in front of me, one orange and one blue.
With a trial mentality, he walked into the [event] again.
A few hours later, level 9.
Buzz!
Shi Li was teleported in, his expression still revealing excitement.
Because in the [Event] of Level 8, he made a lot of money.
Got two spell cards at once.
Together with the spell cards collected in the previous levels, there are a total of 6 cards including [Panda's Power].
They are:
[Panda's Power]: When your own card releases a damaging control skill, the damage caused is doubled.
[Doram Ship Cannon Flare]: At the beginning of the game, it causes 1000 points of total damage to all enemy cards.
[Memorial Book of Shared Hardships]: For every card lost on your side, the maximum health of the remaining cards will increase by 30%
[Nether Horn]: Gain 2 energy points at the beginning of the game for your own Wind Listening Card
[Rusty Kitchen Utensils]: Reduces the effect of all cards being restored by 5 points
[Torn Symbolic Banner]: Increases the bonus +20 when your ace is damaged
You should know that the effects of spell cards can be stacked.
“Although [Event] is indeed unstable, 6 spell cards gave me 2 negative ones, and [Nether Horn] is useless to my deck.”
"But the effect of only three cards left is truly incredible..."
From the moment he got the [Doram Naval Gun], he could basically push through all the enemies he encountered in the following levels.
And now he has already thought about the deck of cards that he will use against the BOSS.
Just play 4 cards.
[Giant Funeral Monster] + [Lying Ginseng] + [Tree Giant] + Ace [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit]
In this deck, [Kung Fu Sheep Rabbit] is mainly responsible for releasing control + dealing damage throughout the entire process.
Then the [Giant Zombie] is responsible for reducing the damage with the additional damage reduction of [Defense].
[Tree Giant] is responsible for output.
[Lang Shen ] is responsible for adding blood, and its [Healing] is as high as 60 points. Deducting only 5 points is a small matter at all.
[Rusty Kitchen Utensils] is more restrained in its multi-stage recovery effect.
For example, 20 points of [Treatment] + 20 points of [Treatment] + 20 points of [Treatment] will be deducted a total of 15 points, while its 60 points of [Treatment] will only be deducted 5 points.
The most powerful part of this deck is the effect of [Memorial Album of Shared Adversity]!
This spell card is simply prepared for the giant card.
In the Shili deck, the number of cards on the field is reduced to 5.
A normal 9+1 deck has 10 cards with a total of 1100 health points.
This 3+1 giant deck has a health point of 200+420+100+200=920 points.
However, with 6 cards missing, the effect of [Album of Shared Hardships] reaches +180% for each card.
Therefore, the final health of the giant deck is as high as 2576 points!
It is more than double the health of a normal 9+1 deck. Even a slightly anemic BOSS may not have that much health.
Plus the resonance of the 6th inscription of balance obtained at the beginning - [Balanced Life]: shared health points.
The deck of cards he has in his hand now is simply as tough as it can be!
After calming down a bit, he began to look around the environment of Level 9.
In these levels, he broke through from the bottom cabin upwards.
When I reached the 8th level, I was already standing on the deck.
At this time, the deck of the 9th level was divided into a small area by the air wall. The only eye-catching thing was the thick watchtower.
There is no doubt that the Wind Chaser is up there.
So Shi Li climbed up swiftly, and soon he saw the figure circling around the observation tower.
"Hello~ Shili card player~ See you again~"
This time, the Wind Chaser transformed into a floating Youyou, whose flying speed was not as fast as that of the Birdman, and he seemed very leisurely.
"Thank you for the previous card draw."
Shi Li went straight to the point and thanked him.
"Ah~? What did you say~?"
The Wind Chaser tilted his ear and looked like he was listening.
But her hands were pressed on her ears.
He looked at me as if to say, "Go ahead and talk. I promise I can't hear you."
“…”
The other party's pretending to be stupid actually confirmed Shi Li's guess.
The previous ten thousand card pool was secretly helped by her.
However, since the other party seemed unwilling to admit it, he did not mention it again.
"Then next~ you will be able to pay me the wind-chasing points~ to strengthen the inscription~"
"Are you ready~?"
The Wind Chaser did not give him a chance to raise the issue again and directly started the process with CUE.
"I'm ready."
Shi Li looked at his wind-chasing point number: 712.
The first level has more checkpoints than the zeroth level, so there are naturally more opportunities to gain points.
Moreover, he encountered an [Event] mission in the middle and obtained 200+ Wind Chasing Points.
That's why there are so many more points than the previous level 9.
If I save all these points for the next level...
Thinking of this, he decided to give it a try.
"I choose not to strengthen the inscription."
“Huh ?!”
