Volume 6 Chapter 4: Water Palace Exploration (1)
After a round of conquests, the World Alliance more than doubled the territory it controlled. It was necessary to digest this achievement well, so an alliance meeting was held to divide up the fruits of victory. At the order of the gangs, all the gangs stopped fighting. I also had some free time, and began to live a standard professional player's life of leveling up and hunting for treasures. Although the income brought by the gang now exceeds the money and equipment I can get from killing bosses, it has become my habit.
I just came online that day, but I received a message from Xiao Yi, asking me to go to Tianshui Pavilion immediately. She said that she had cracked the method of entering and exiting the Yaoguang Water Palace, and now they wanted to go in and explore, and they needed the help of an expert like me.
Well, I was saying that Xiao Yi has been acting mysterious lately and I don’t know what he’s doing. He even spends less time with me. It turns out it’s because of this!
Recently, there has been a wave of adventure fever in Fantasy. The cause of this fever is that the third artifact in Fantasy has finally come out!
Players from the Western Continent, with the concerted efforts of the three major gangs, finally cracked the pyramid, one of the seven great ruins, and obtained countless treasures, the most precious of which was the artifact "Crown of the Pharaoh"!
Since the official has not announced the way to obtain artifacts, there are currently two pieces. One is the cornucopia, which is a prize for official activities, and the other is the moon shadow robe, which I obtained by completing a mission and did not publicize it. I may be the player who knows the most about artifacts in Fantasy. Tiger Soul, Sky Crystal, Cornucopia, Moon Shadow Robe, and Xuanyuan Sword that Wanxing saw in the Imperial Tomb mission. In my experience, although there is a very low probability of artifacts being exploded by monsters, they are definitely incomplete, or just parts. To really obtain artifacts, you have to complete missions. But as the ultimate equipment in Fantasy, the missions that can get artifact rewards are either so difficult that they cannot be completed at all; or you are lucky enough to encounter a random reward for a random mission that is an artifact, but the probability of that is probably even smaller than winning the lottery.
The Pharaoh's crown provides another way to obtain the artifact: explore the ruins. If you successfully unearth the treasure, it is very likely that the artifact is hidden among them!
More importantly, breaking through the pyramids was a major operation jointly carried out by the three major Western gangs. A huge number of players participated, so it was impossible to keep it secret. The entire operation process could be found in related posts posted by players on the forum, and the clicks on each one were extremely high. From the content of these posts, it can be seen that this kind of thing does not rely on luck but on strength, which has aroused the interest of many powerful gangs. Therefore, many gangs have organized people to head to those mysterious ruins. Although it is still very difficult to deal with the powerful monsters in these ruins with the current level of players, each gang has suffered great losses and little gain, but this has not made the enthusiasm for exploration subside, but on the contrary, it has become more and more intense. Not only gangs, but even some scattered players have spontaneously organized exploration teams, and some brave players even go alone. Although there is no hope of success, as long as they find some information useful for exploration in the ruins, there will be no shortage of people paying high prices to buy it. Many people have made a small fortune from this, and there are so-called treasure maps flying all over the sky, mixed with countless rumors, legends, and gossip, which has further stimulated the interest of players.
In fact, the ruins are not so easy to break into. We, the Thunder Alliance, once organized people to enter the Emperor's Mausoleum again, but we found that since we completed the gang building task, the level of the NPC in the mausoleum has been greatly improved, and the maze has become more difficult to crack. In the end, we returned in disgrace with many casualties, and we couldn't even enter the third floor again! Moreover, we later heard that the three major gangs in the West suffered heavy losses in order to break through the pyramid. Thousands of elites died more than once, and the average level was almost reduced by one level. The money spent and the equipment lost were probably enough to buy ten pieces of Holy Spirit equipment. It was completely not worth the loss. Therefore, under the strong opposition of profiteers, we stopped this thankless expedition, but many gang members still spontaneously organized to go, which could not be forced.
But then again, there are successful examples of ruins exploration. Dozens of small ruins have been discovered by players one after another. It's just that although the difficulty of small ruins is greatly reduced, the rewards are naturally not that rich. No one has ever heard of anyone obtaining a divine weapon. Holy spirit equipment and high-level pet eggs are found from time to time, but in today's Fantasy, they are not too rare. After all, the attraction of artifacts is too great. Most people still focus on the seven major ruins. In my opinion, this is not a step-by-step approach. I'm afraid that the game company's original intention is to let players explore small and medium-sized ruins first, and only after accumulating enough experience and possessing stronger strength can they challenge the seven major ruins. As for the Western players' actions of forcibly breaking through the pyramids at all costs, it is really not advisable.
Xiao Yi's Tianshui Pavilion is located on the coast of the East China Sea, which is a unique advantage for exploration. There are countless islands dotted across the vast ocean, and many small and medium-sized ruins are hidden among them. There are even secret places in the depths of the sea, such as the legendary Crystal Palace. Old birds who have had internal testing experience know that it is a mysterious place that is no less than the seven major ruins, and its treasures are even richer than the seven major ruins. Of course, the difficulty of exploration will never be easier than the seven major ruins.
Xiao Yi is by no means a person without self-awareness. The Yaoguang Water Palace she is going to explore this time is a medium-sized relic. Compared with the extremely difficult challenges of the seven major ruins, it is much easier. However, this is only relative, and it is not so easy to complete.
It is said that the Yaoguang Water Palace was a cave opened up by an ancient immortal. Later, the immortal ascended to heaven and the water palace was left unattended. Instead, it was occupied by a sea monster called Bi Jiao. Bi Jiao recruited a group of sea monsters as subordinates, used the Yaoguang Water Palace as its base, and dominated the nearby sea area.
Information about Yaoguang Water Palace cannot be found in the official data. There are many such ruins in Fantasy, and it is impossible for internal test players to know all of them , not to mention that many of them were newly added after the public test. Xiao Yi didn't know that such a place existed at first, but the shipbuilders hired by Tianshui Pavilion made a breakthrough not long ago and built a five-sail Qingya ship. Although it cannot cross the ocean, it can be used to haunt the near sea, which is much better than the small fishing boats near the sea in the past. The players of Tianshui Pavilion have long been tired of playing in the coastal area. Now that they have this new means of transportation, they are naturally very interested in going out to sea, going deeper into the sea that they could not reach before, and exploring new maps. The location of Yaoguang Water Palace is almost directly opposite to the east of Tianshui Pavilion's station, so players soon discovered the strangeness of this place. It is extremely dangerous to level up in this area. It seems that the monsters here have a unified command, not each of them. Monsters of different races often work together to attack and kill players. As more and more such incidents happened, the curiosity of the members of Tianshui Pavilion was aroused. A large number of people came to investigate repeatedly and finally discovered the existence of Yaoguang Water Palace!
If it is just a fairy palace relic, it may not necessarily arouse Xiao Yi's interest. Even if such small or medium-sized ruins are successfully explored, at most one or two Holy Spirit equipment can be obtained. With the progress of the game, Holy Spirit equipment is no longer so rare in Fantasy. At least one or two pieces will appear at the auction from time to time. Although the transaction prices are sky-high, compared with Xiao Yi's wealth, it is just a drop in the bucket. My wife is now almost fully equipped with Holy Spirit-level equipment, plus a Moon Shadow Divine Robe. The luxury of her equipment can be said to be the best in Fantasy. How could she take the treasure of a mere fairy palace to heart?
However, what is special is that a member of the Tianshui Pavilion received a mission here: when this brother was exploring the sea area of Yaoguang Water Palace, he accidentally encountered a group of monster NPCs, led by a thousand-year-old turtle. When he thought he was doomed to die, the monsters did not attack him. Instead, they talked to him, claiming to be disciples of the former owner of the Water Palace, but after the ancient immortal ascended to heaven, he was bullied by the Jiao. The old turtle was not strong enough and was defeated by the Jiao. He barely escaped, but the Water Palace was seized by the other side. The monsters in the sea are divided into fixed areas. The old turtle can't go away, but he is unwilling to surrender to the Jiao. He can only lead a group of demon soldiers who followed him to escape from the water palace and fight guerrilla warfare in this sea area. But he is still no match for the Jiao, and has been bullied for thousands of years. Now that he sees human players coming here, he entrusts them with a task. If anyone can enter the water palace and kill the Jiao, the old turtle is willing to give the water palace control method left by the ancient immortals. In other words, the player can own this immortal palace and build it into a gang base!
This is different from ordinary ruins exploration. For other ruins, once the exploration is successful and the treasure is discovered, that's it. Players cannot stay in the ruins forever. The monsters inside will still refresh, and other players can come to explore again. The only difference is that the treasures refreshed in the future will be much less, and there will be no top-level treasures. This is the first time I've heard of a situation where a ruins can be completely occupied through a mission.
Nowadays, it is very easy for gangs to set up bases. There are already many players with enough reputation. All they need to do is send a group of powerful members to quit the gang, and then go on a gang-building mission to obtain a territory. Then, they can play the trick of Zhou Yu fighting Huang Gai again, and a base can be in their pocket. However, the truly valuable lands now basically have owners, and the bases obtained in this way can't have any economic or military significance.
This underwater fairy palace is quite different. Not to mention that this water palace is located deep in the sea, owning it is equivalent to owning an underwater supply base, which greatly facilitates the members who like to level up in the sea; not to mention that as an underwater base, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, which is of great benefit to possible gang naval battles in the future; just talking about the water palace itself, the scenery is fantastic and bizarre, which is very different from the scenery on the mainland. It can attract players to come here for sightseeing and develop it into a tourist destination. The revenue it can bring is absolutely an astronomical figure!
How could Xiao Yi miss such a good opportunity? Although she herself would not care about this "little money", she would be happy to get more benefits for her brothers in the gang. More importantly, as a girl, it is her nature to like novelty. The beautiful scenery of Yaoguang Water Palace attracted Xiao Yi, Wanxing, Erqiao and others. The influence of these four beauties should not be underestimated. Countless alliance members would go through fire and water at their call without frowning, let alone exploring a "small matter" like a relic.
Thanks to a large number of players who have come forward one after another, the situation of Yaoguang Water Palace has been basically figured out, and Xiao Yi has also made all preparations for the formal expedition. Naturally, my husband, who is known as the number one master of Fantasy, will be captured by her to do hard labor!
I've been a bit bored lately, and my wife has called me, so how can I ignore her? Without saying anything, I immediately went to Tianshui Pavilion through the teleportation array.
There were already more than a dozen people waiting for me in the hall of Tianshui Pavilion, including Xiao Yi. When we met, we smiled at each other. Our feelings were deepening, but it was not as passionate as the days when we were in love at the beginning. Instead, Wanxing greeted me with high spirits, "Ha, it's been a long time since I saw you, the great leader. I heard that you have been very powerful recently. You even destroyed Mingjian Villa without even saying hello to us beforehand. After all, Tianshui Pavilion and Jinglei League are allies, right? Do you look down on this ally now that you are stronger?"
It was a false accusation, absolutely a false accusation! Apart from anything else, although Xiao Yi and I have been busy with our own things in the game recently, we still meet and date every few days in reality. How could I not report this to my wife? It’s just that according to my plan, this battle does not require the help of allied gangs outside Pojun City, unless there is an unexpected event beyond our control, then Tianshui Pavilion can still serve as a reserve team. As a result, everything went very smoothly, and there was no need to use the power of Tianshui Pavilion until the end. Therefore, Xiao Yi did not tell her subordinates, but a good sister like Wanxing who stays with her every day must have heard some inside information.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Miss, I have always valued alliances. Besides, Xiao Yi is my wife, and I am considered half the head of Tianshui Pavilion. How can I look down on you? It's just that the emphasis of this battle is on surprise, so confidentiality is very important. Even among the brothers in the Jinglei League, few knew the plan in advance. Otherwise, if the news leaked out, I might be the one suffering now instead of Ao Jian Tian Xia!"
Wan Xing pouted and said, "You can't even hide this from us friends. Would we betray you? Your behavior has caused great harm to my heart! How are you going to compensate me?"
I spread my hands helplessly and said, "You are hurt by this? I find it hard to imagine that your heart is so fragile. What kind of compensation do you want? I have to tell you in advance that the price is too high and I can't afford it!"
This girl clearly wanted to blackmail me, so I had to accept it. After all, she had done a lot to match me and Xiao Yi. It is immoral to carry the newlyweds into the room and throw the matchmaker over the wall. Of course, I, a righteous person, can't do such a thing, ha!
Wan Xing rolled his eyes and said, "I don't want any material compensation. You hurt my heart and made me very unhappy. I just want you to do something to make me happy. Well, it's actually very simple. I just like to watch the fun. I missed the battle between Jinglei League and Mingjian Villa this time. Next time you have any big moves, you must notify me and let me participate!"
Wow, so this is what she was dissatisfied with. I didn’t realize this girl had the potential to be a warmonger!
After the joke, we got down to business. Xiao Yi looked at me with her beautiful eyes and said, "Ah Tian, now that you're here, we're all here for this operation. We all know the basic situation, but I'll still give you a detailed introduction. Then we can get the medicines and set off!"
"The target of our expedition this time, Yaoguang Water Palace, is located deep in the sea about 500 kilometers east of the coastline of Tianshui Pavilion. The sea area was originally extremely dangerous, but after repeated explorations by our alliance members, we have figured out all the situations outside the water palace, including the strength and appearance patterns of various monsters, so it is no problem to approach the water palace now. The water palace itself is an underwater palace hidden in the coral reefs, but there are a lot of traps inside - and they are not quite the same as ordinary traps, but are similar to the formations and prohibitions in Chinese fairy tales. Even high-level thieves have a lot of trouble cracking them, mainly because they are too different from ordinary habits and experience. Fortunately, after Wanxing's efforts, she finally cracked the entrance and exit of the gate the day before yesterday. And with relevant experience, I believe that the traps inside will not be difficult for her."
Hearing Xiao Yi's praise, Wan Xing glanced at me with a very proud look. I couldn't help but hit her, "Isn't your goal to become the most successful thief in Fantasy? Cracking all kinds of traps is the job of a thief. You spent so much time on it, which only shows that you haven't practiced hard enough!"
Wanxing glared at me, wanting to refute but unable to think of any powerful words. Xiaoyi glared at me and quickly continued, "As for the interior of the Water Palace, some members have gone in to conduct preliminary explorations in the past two days. The monsters inside are very powerful! Therefore, all members participating in this expedition must be masters with considerable strength, and cannot simply rely on numbers, otherwise it will only increase casualties."
"The Yaoguang Water Palace has another peculiarity. Measured from the outside, the area of the water palace is only more than 2,000 square meters, but the internal space is much larger than that. Judging from the descriptions of the alliance members who have entered, it should be several square kilometers wide! It can be seen that its spatial structure is a bit strange, and coupled with the effect of the formation, some illusions will be produced. When A Tian and I were passing through the desert on our way to the west, we encountered a mirage . This kind of illusion is extremely difficult to deal with. Everyone must be careful and pay attention to distinguish the truth from falsehood of everything they see."
"Since the vanguard team members failed to enter the depths of the water palace, no one has discovered where the boss that the mission requires us to eliminate, the Jiao, is hiding, and we know nothing about its appearance and strength. The purpose of our expedition this time is to find and kill the Jiao. The thousand-year-old turtle that entrusted this task is itself a C-level Boss. It is conceivable that the Jiao, which is stronger than it, is at least a B-level guy, or even an A-level. The Yaoguang Water Palace is not a large-scale ruins, and it is unlikely that an S-level guardian boss will appear. Everyone here is a first-class master in the fantasy world. It should be very easy to surround and kill a B-level Boss. Although it is quite difficult to deal with an A-level Boss, isn't facing the challenge the fun of the game? I believe you will not be afraid!"
The earliest precedent of killing an A-level Boss was in a monster siege. The battle at that time made the Fantasy players realize how powerful the A-level Boss was. In any city, there were more than 100,000 players besieging it, and tens of thousands of sacrifices were made to achieve a tragic victory. A high level of coordination and cooperation was also required. In the Cang Continent, seven cities failed to defend because of the uneven cooperation among players.
This lesson is extremely profound, but the wisdom of the players is absolutely infinite. Through that battle, everyone has also explored some experience in dealing with powerful bosses. Since then, gangs have organized people to challenge C-level and above bosses. With the improvement of levels and strength, countless C-level and B-level bosses have fallen under the butcher's knife of players. The probability of this level of boss exploding Holy Spirit equipment has greatly increased, which is also the reason why Holy Spirit-level equipment has gradually begun to circulate on the market. Good equipment further improves the strength of players. Two months ago, a gang finally succeeded in killing the A-level boss. Of course, that was also the result of mobilizing tens of thousands of troops. Nowadays, killing the A-level boss is no longer news. Elite teams with less than a thousand people have this strength. Even an S-level boss has been killed. It was the event in which Western players broke through the pyramid. The final boss they faced was an S-level, otherwise so many people would not have died.
So since we have inferred that the Jiao is at most an A-level Boss, we have no reason to be afraid. Moreover, who would be willing to show weakness after being provoked by a beautiful woman like Xiao Yi? Everyone said in a row: "No problem, it's just an A-level Boss, it's not like we haven't killed it before, it's almost like it's afraid of us!"
Since everyone had no objection, Xiao Yi briefly explained a few details and then ordered people to fetch the medicines and some things needed for the expedition that had been prepared earlier and distribute them. Everyone then set off with high morale.
There are sixteen core members in this expedition, eleven of whom are elite experts in Tianshui Pavilion, and only Erqiao and I are the foreign aid invited by Xiaoyi. Of course, there are definitely more people involved in the operation. In order to ensure the successful completion of the task in one go, Tianshui Pavilion has invested a lot of money and dispatched more than three thousand elite players above level 60 in the gang, as well as tens of thousands of main members above level 50 with good equipment and strong strength. They formed several teams of fifteen to twenty people in a complementary way to enter the Water Palace to explore. According to existing experience, the strength of such a team should be able to protect itself in the Water Palace if there is no accident, and with nearly a thousand teams searching at the same time, it will not take too long to crack even the most complex maze.
Since Xiao Yi also received a reward for hiring a Holy Mage NPC when he went to the West for promotion last time, there are no less than 20 million players on the Cang Continent who have chosen the magician profession, and the proportion of players who are now above level 60 is about one in 20. Most of them are unwilling to take the risk of traveling to the West, but instead go to Tianshui Pavilion to pay for promotion. According to the price of 100 gold coins per person, even after deducting taxes, the profit earned by Tianshui Pavilion is an astronomical figure. Moreover, as an allied gang, Tianshui Pavilion has obtained the downstream distribution rights of the East-West trade that is exclusively monopolized by the Thunder Alliance from the beginning. In terms of financial resources, as a medium-sized gang, Tianshui Pavilion is still above many large gangs!
Money makes things easier, so the supplies for this event are very sufficient. Among the supplies I received, all the medicines were top-quality, and there were even 100 pills of the best quality Da Huan Dan, which cannot be bought in the system store and can only be made by the senior pharmacists of the life profession players. It can instantly replenish all the health and magic power, and is a good thing to save your life in dangerous moments. However, due to the scarcity of the raw materials for refining, this thing is also incredibly expensive, priced at 20 gold coins per pill!
In addition, since you have to dive into the deep sea, each person is also given five water-repellent beads. Equipped with this special item, the player can isolate the seawater (of course, the water in rivers and lakes is the same) half a foot away from the body after diving underwater, ensuring that you can move freely and breathe normally. Even if you don’t have the skill of "diving", you can move normally underwater. For players who live on the coast, water-repellent beads are a must-have. Although almost all players near the sea have learned the public skill of "diving" (Note 1), even if your skill level reaches level 10, it is not as flexible and convenient as equipping water-repellent beads. The deep sea is full of dangers, and at a critical moment, water-repellent beads may be the key to whether you can escape. This thing will only drop from water monsters, and the drop rate is extremely low. The trading price in the market is usually more than 10 gold coins. What's more, what Xiao Yi gave us is not ordinary stuff. Generally, we can only get low-grade ones. The water-proof effect of each one is only half an hour, while the one I got is high-grade, with a water-proof effect of up to 5 hours. Only water monsters above level 80 have a very low probability of dropping it. In fact, the water palace is isolated from the sea water by the formation. We need to use the water-proof beads, which is just the distance from the sea surface to the gate of the water palace. In my opinion, carrying 5 water-proof beads is simply a luxury waste.
In terms of logistics, the only trouble is transporting more than 10,000 players to the target sea area. They can only use the five-sailed Qingya ship, the most advanced sea transportation tool in the Cang Continent. However, as a newly developed ship type, it requires a very high-level shipbuilder to make it. Tianshui Pavilion has no shortage of money to buy shipbuilding materials, but it is impossible to have too many top craftsmen. So far, less than 300 such large ships have been built, and each has a carrying capacity of only 200 people. Even if all of them are mobilized, it will take three round trips to transport all the personnel to the destination.
This is also helpless. Because I am worried about the invasion of Western players, I have emphasized the development of science and technology in the allied gangs. The Thunder Alliance is located inland, so it naturally focuses on the research of land warfare equipment. The development of naval weapons is naturally undertaken by Tianshui Pavilion. In fact, Xiaoyi is also very hard-working, and he does not hesitate to offer amazingly high salaries to hire talents, but naval construction is indeed a bottomless pit. The key is that building advanced ships is not just about shipbuilders. It must be developed by blacksmiths, carpenters, tailors, etc. Players of related professions must cooperate with each other and conduct team-based development. In order to improve the skill level of these life professional players, a large amount of materials must be purchased to let them practice their skill levels. If we only concentrate our efforts to ensure that a few people become advanced craftsmen, it doesn’t matter, but in order to ensure sufficient production capacity, the manpower required is very considerable. Tianshui Pavilion has invested tens of millions of gold coins in this regard, and is now the most developed gang in the shipbuilding industry on the Cang Continent. However, compared with the ships I saw in the West five months ago, they are not much more advanced, and the manufacturing scale is far inferior. What's more, they will not have been working for nothing in the past few months, and the gap in technological strength between the two sides may be getting bigger and bigger.
There is no point in thinking too much for the time being. The most important thing at the moment is to complete this task. The sixteen of us, as the core personnel, are of course the first group to board the ship. It cost a million gold coins to come to Tianshui Pavilion and build a dock in a small bay. More than two hundred five-sail green-fang ships are docked in the harbor in an orderly manner, which is quite spectacular.
The five-sail Qingya ship is a fourth-level ship, 78 meters long, 12 meters wide, 10 meters above water, with three decks and a standard capacity of 280 people, including 80 crew members. In addition to 20 captains, helmsmen, lookouts, deck sailors, etc., the lowest cabin can also carry 60 oarsmen. If the personnel are fully equipped, it can increase the maneuverability. The ship has five masts, two of which are horizontal sails and three are longitudinal sails. If the wind direction and wind force are suitable, these five sails alone can reach a speed of 40 knots. In addition, each oarsman can bring a speed increase of 0.5 knots, and the maximum speed can reach 70 knots (things in the game are of course more exaggerated than in reality). As the painstaking work of Tianshui Pavilion, it is certainly not that simple. Creative players have designed wind magic arrays on each sail through hard work. As long as there is a magician on board to provide magic power, it can ensure that there is enough wind power to travel at high speed in windless or light wind sea conditions. This is also achieved with the help of Da Qiao, a super tailor with the title of "Vega". The original intention of the design of the Five-Sail Green Fang Ship was to be an ocean-going ship, but because it was the first time to develop such a ship, there was insufficient experience, and ultimately the design goal could not be fully achieved. The ship has no problem sailing in the near sea within 1,000 kilometers from the coastline, but in the open ocean beyond this range, once it encounters a hurricane, thunderstorm, giant whirlpool, and some terrifying monsters in the depths of the ocean, the hull of the Five-Sail Green Fang Ship will not be strong enough - this is a euphemism, in fact it is very fragile, and the only result is the destruction of the ship and the death of people. This is also because there were no decent ships in the Cang Continent that could sail such a long distance before, and the players did not have enough understanding of the dangers in the ocean in Fantasy. After losing several five-sail Qingfang ships, according to the experience gained by those adventurous players with death, the frequency of various dangers in the ocean is quite high, and it is estimated that at least level 5 ships are required to have the ability to resist such risks. It is still an unattainable dream to manufacture level 5 ships in a short period of time, so everyone can only sigh in despair. In addition, the prototype of the five-sail Qingfang ship is a small sailing ship, which was originally used as a personnel transport ship. It does not have combat capabilities, but when it was designed, it was considered to be transformed into a warship. Although this idea has not been realized yet, through the cooperation between the craftsmen sent by the Thunder League and the ship designers of Tianshui Pavilion, the research and development work has made a breakthrough. The first test model equipped with 20 long-range crossbows secretly developed by the Thunder League is already lying in the shipyard.
I stepped on the first five-sail Qingya ship that was launched, which was proudly named "Tianshui" by its creator and dedicated to their leader Xiao Yi as the fleet flagship. Although it was not the first time I boarded this ship, I still had an inexplicable feeling. Even in this kind of fantasy game, the power of technology is still the most powerful. Now the development of Fantasy is far from the peak, and there are such large ships with a displacement of thousands of tons. In the future, there will definitely be large ships of thousands of tons and tens of thousands of tons. If things like cannons are made at that time, even if the player's level reaches level 100, can he compete with such a giant alone? And what is the most important thing in the development of technology? In Fantasy, what is needed is unity, cooperation, and the support of a lot of money. With such a setting, the game company is really well-intentioned...
