Chapter 129 Who in the World Doesn’t Know You?
Chapter 129 "No one in the world knows you"
"Global announcement: The challenge mission begins. One minute later, those who successfully register will be teleported to the mission sea area. This process will cause a certain amount of dizziness and discomfort. If any adverse consequences occur during this period, you will be responsible for it yourself."
"Special reminder: Those who have registered can give up their mission qualifications, retain their existing points, and open some redemption stores."
As the countdown ended, the global announcement sounded again, and countless newcomers who had not signed up began to cry. Damn it, the endless sea didn't follow the routine. Is this even regretful?
According to the meaning of the special reminder, even if you give up the mission now, you can still get a thousand mission points for nothing. Although you can't redeem it for anything very good, it's not bad. At least some people in difficult situations can solve the shortage of medicines and supplies. question, and they don’t need to do anything except click a sign up just now.
In addition, there are also some newcomers who have signed up but regretted it. Now that they can regret it and get a thousand points for free, they are so excited that they simply choose to quit, and then happily browse the redemption store.
Finally, there is the group that is hesitant. They feel that they are not strong enough and there are definitely risks in signing up. However, if they don't take a chance, the follow-up road will be difficult. Watching the one minute countdown is a torture.
"Tip: The transmission starts, select the entire fleet of the target "Black Candle"! "
Following a violent spatial fluctuation, the Black Candle fleet that was moving at high speed on the sea disappeared in an instant, leaving only the rolling waves.
When Qiao Yang opened his eyes again, he felt that the overall temperature of the environment had risen by about 10 degrees Celsius. According to a rough estimate, it was probably no less than 40 degrees Celsius. He and the crew were fine and could bear it, but for the same period Definitely not friendly to newbies.
And anyone with a little bit of common sense knows that noon of the day is definitely not the hottest time, but the afternoon, and the temperature will continue to rise by then.
If they want to get a decent harvest from this collective challenge mission, they have to face the power of nature.
Twisting his neck, Qiao Yang scanned the surrounding sea area. It turned out to be blue, which showed that the salt content was higher than that of the normal sea area. Combined with the high temperature of the environment, he could conclude that there must be volcanoes in this sea area. Not a dormant one, but an active volcano.
Just as he was observing the environment, a voice from the Endless Sea rang in his ears.
"Mission sea area announcement: All participants who registered for this challenge mission have been transferred, a total of 3,754,235 people."
"The first phase of the challenge mission is now started - survival of the fittest!"
"This mission lasts for 24 hours. During the duration, kill any new captain to get 1000 mission points, kill any new adventurer to get 500 mission points, kill the sailor to get more than 500 mission points, kill the sailor to get more than 200 mission points, and Depending on the strength of the target killed, the final number of points earned will fluctuate."
"Participants can exit this round of challenge missions at any time after six hours or one hour after being out of combat, and will retain all mission points and open the redemption store."
"Special reminder ①: Killing the new captain has a chance of dropping an escape crystal. After using it, you can immediately enter the escape state."
"Special reminder ②: All participants remain unselectable for ten minutes. During this period, all participants are invisible and cannot come into contact with each other. This status can be lifted voluntarily."
Qiao Yang's eyes narrowed slightly. The first round of tasks was quite interesting. Both the specific content and subsequent prompts seemed to encourage participants to compete, which was in line with the theme of survival of the fittest.
However, the number of participants really exceeded his expectations. Although there are many new people entering the Sea of Birth every year, the proportion of new people who can confidently try the challenge task on the tenth day has always been very low, only about 1.32%. Around, the data comes from official statistics.
But even if the ratio is so low, there are still so many participants. Putting aside some of the dog bettors, the rest must have two brushes.
Moreover, it was so intense from the beginning, and the mission itself was of a screening and elimination nature. He did not believe that the mission area would be so large, otherwise the meaning of the word challenge would be lost.
In general, the first stage of the mission is a battle royale. As long as you have the ability to survive a full day, you can enter the second stage even if you hide, and this is also his hunting ground.
Anyway, these rules only require a little attention. He has more important things now.
After turning over and jumping off the bow, Qiao Yang called Yasiel and gave the order directly:
"Yashir, activate the map, then reef the sails and slow down, turn the ship's bow, and move at full speed toward the 15-degree southwest direction. There is a springtail that does not know how to live or die and has provoked me."
"As you command, Captain!"
Yasir's originally calm face suddenly turned cold. Although he didn't know who the springtail Qiao Yang was talking about, he knew that the captain was angry, so this was not an ordinary thing.
Anyone who offends Qiao Yang is an enemy, and all enemies deserve to die!
Feeling the feedback from the positioning mark, Qiao Yang grinned. It was rare to meet such a talented person. It would be a pity not to use it to establish his reputation.
In the endless sea, how can a little-known force quickly make a name for itself? It must be war and blood. Only these two things can make everyone remember you and not forget you for a long time. .
A minute later, Yasir returned with a parchment scroll in his hand, and the fleet also turned around and accelerated again.
Qiao Yang took the parchment. This was the strange thing Qiao Yang gave him last time, a living map, a very convenient thing.
He has never used it much before. There is really no room for this strange object to be used, but it can come in handy in challenging tasks. After all, when everyone can only explore slowly, he can control the overall situation. This is an unreasonable advantage.
I glanced at the map, which marked the location of the Black Candle fleet and all the islands in the sea, with names, which was very easy to use.
According to the direction shown on the map, Qiao Yang found that he was now located in the east of the mission sea area. To the north was a volcanic island called Jiaolian Volcano, and to the south was an island covered with white bones called the White Bone Ruins.
In addition, there is an extremely vast land directly in front of the fleet. It has no name, but three ports have been built. There is also a forest on it, called the Forest of Moonlight.
At the same time, the edges of the two islands can still be seen on the edge of the map, but the specific outlines cannot be seen. This is a limitation of the live map. It can only be viewed again after the fleet has moved forward for a certain distance.
Nodding, Qiao Yang handed the living map back to Yasiel, and then said:
"Draw this part of the map and let Marquis inform it. Everyone will prepare for war. Wherever you look, everyone will be an enemy!"
"Your will!"
Yasir took the parchment and stepped back respectfully.
At this time, there are still nine minutes before the teleportation protection becomes unselectable. With the flexibility of the ships of the Black Candle fleet, turning the ship's bow is not a very laborious task.
Taking advantage of this time, Qiao Yang maximized the magnification of the accelerated sailing. Coupled with the influence of the acceleration totem's range, the original average speed of 30 knots instantly became 300 knots, and the violent speed set off a wave like a tsunami.
Feeling that the positioning mark is getting closer and closer to him, the curvature of the corners of Qiao Yang's mouth gradually exaggerates. It's a pretext, right? It's a curse, right? You better be able to laugh when you see me again!
Of course, Qiao Yang was not just trying to deal with this bug, but to find out the complete map of the mission sea area. The latter was the real business. If you encounter something unsightly on the way, just kill it. Don’t let the points you get go to waste. don't want.
The most important thing is that he is really too lazy to eliminate the newcomers in the first round. There is little oil and water, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is better to wait for the follow-up to rob those who persist and earn more and faster. This is what an invincible person like him should do. No one really thinks that they can eliminate nearly four million newcomers in one day, right?
Whoever wants to do such a fatal thing will do it, but he won't do it anyway.
Ten minutes is neither long nor short. At this moment, the Black Candle fleet is circling a sea area at a very slow speed. There are many people on the deck, especially the large demons headed by Basque. They are extremely conspicuous and powerful. The aura soared into the sky, even if it didn't deliberately exude pressure, it was still daunting.
Suddenly, a distorted wave appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and countless ships of different styles showed their whereabouts.
Looking at it, the last one is a single sailing ship. There are also many two-masted warships and three-masted warships. And with the huge population base, even extraordinary ships can be found from time to time. There is also a second-level ship in the middle. Qiao Yang was very familiar with the extraordinary ship. It was the Waves.
"fire!"
Olivier let out a hideous laugh and gave the decisive order to fire. This was the captain's personal instructions. Everyone he looked at was an enemy!
Ever since the Abyss Black Industry was built, no one, including Qiao Yang, had seen the firepower of this fourth-order extraordinary warship, but now he has seen it, and so have all the newcomers in this sea area.
In just one second, more than a hundred artillery shells flew out, and the ships that were hit, without exception, all opened large holes with a radius of more than two meters. Sea water poured in crazily, and the entire ship was filled with water. It was sinking at a speed visible to the naked eye. The stunned captain above had no choice but to order emergency repairs, and at the same time watched in despair as the shells continued to fall like heavy rain.
In addition, there are some unlucky ones who have eaten several cannonballs, and the keel and deck were directly broken into several pieces. Now they don’t even need to repair, and they are hit with "BG" while spitting out the fragrance. With so many people, just labor and capital Got beaten, right?
The most important thing is that it is not only the Abyss Black Industry that is firing at the same time. The gunners on the Bloody Black Wind and Purgatory Black Sin are not idle. Even some other sailors have temporarily acted as gunners. With the current ships in the sea The density is so high that it can hit someone as long as it is fired, even if it hits the sky.
The violent firepower of the Black Candle Fleet instantly cleared a large vacuum area. In just three minutes, there was no ship left floating within the five nautical miles radius of the surrounding ships.
A large number of barrels and boxes floated on the sea, with some loot mixed in among them. The blood everywhere dyed the sea red, and the large amount of wreckage silently complained about the unreasonable firepower just now.
There were no bodies on the sea. The newcomers who were eliminated by Qiao Yang were all transported back to the Sea of Birth, taking their crew members with them.
After all, it is a welfare mission for newcomers. It will not directly wipe out the family fortune if it fails, but it will definitely bring punishment. This is the same as the death of the captain himself. The attributes will be reduced and the soul will be weakened. If the follow-up treatment is not handled properly, it may happen again. Drop some points of loyalty.
The sudden turn of events stunned the newcomers. Some captains who happened to be within five nautical miles swallowed hard. If they had been closer, one of them would be floating on the sea at this time.
They who were lucky enough to escape looked at the wreckage on the sea. After a cursory glance, they estimated that there were at least a hundred rookie captains. These people could not even resist in the slightest and were eliminated. There are some extraordinary ships here, but the results are no different from those sloops.
These newcomers looked at those behemoths stupidly. The ships built by Qiao Yang were not small in size, especially the later Purgatory Black Sin and Abyss Black Industry, which were even three times larger than the three-masted warship. They thought To see what was on the deck you had to climb up the mast.
Of course, no one dares to do this at the moment. Although they don’t know what the system fleet that suddenly appeared is, they still know what to do and what not to do.
Everyone present regarded the Black Candle fleet as a system-refreshed fleet. In the nascent sea, extraordinary ships of the second level and above were legends, just like the fleet promotion order.
Wait, fleet promotion order?
Some people have discovered this brilliant point. Since that person can even get this thing, then it seems that building a fourth-level extraordinary ship is not a problem... right~
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
They shook their heads subconsciously and quickly put this incredible idea behind them, but a trace of hesitation inevitably came to their minds.
There are many children of aristocratic families nearby. They know more intelligence and information, and they can see more things now.
Zhang Zichen is one of them. He comes from a family with a relatively short inheritance and a strong sense of humanity. Even though he is a commoner, he still has a lot of support from his family. The first-order extraordinary ship under his feet is proof of this.
During Qiao Yang's indiscriminate raid just now, he was lucky enough not to be beaten to a pulp by the ruthless shells.
Looking at the mighty Black Candle fleet, the more he looked at it, the more congested he became, and the more frightened he became, because everything in front of him most likely belonged to the newcomer of the same period, the miracle worker, and not to the one who suddenly appeared. Come out the clown.
To be honest, he himself felt that this guess was a bit crazy, but the various information fed back from his ship's panel all confirmed this.
Extraordinary ships have terrifying suppression power against ordinary ships and lower-level ships. This suppression power is all-round.
For example, take the Xingchen owned by Zhang Zichen. Under the suppression of high-level extraordinary ships, this first-order extraordinary ship's stability and flexibility have been reduced by one and a half stars. Each step is reduced by half a star. properties.
This resulted in the overall attributes of the Star at this time being almost the same as that of an unsuppressed sloop. This was still an extraordinary ship. Not to mention those ordinary ships, all attributes were directly suppressed to negative values. Now it can't even move. It's no different from a coffin floating on the sea. It's just a box anyway. It's just a matter of which space is bigger and which is smaller.
In fact, the Bone Pirates who were bumped into by Qiao Yang also suffered from this, but he didn't know it at the time and kept wondering why those pirate ships didn't resist. He later learned this from Su Yu.
The Endless Sea is quite good for newcomers. During the Full Moon Trial, the rules directly exempt all newcomers from 99% of the negative suppression. This includes the extraordinary suppression of non-newcomers. In other words, if the Black Candle Ship The fleet is a system fleet, so this extraordinary suppression should not exist, instead of taking effect as usual now.
After discovering this, Zhang Zichen took a deep breath, then tremblingly took a few photos, and posted his guess to the newcomer forum. As for the result, he didn't care anymore. He couldn't run away anyway, so he might as well have fun. , how can he be frightened alone? It doesn't make sense.
His discovery quickly spread in the newbie forum. Everyone questioned it at first, and then gradually realized that it was true. For a moment, the forum filled with posts paused for a moment, and then was scattered by more news. .
"So, the previous one was fake?"
"Isn't this nonsense? I said it back then, but no one believed it, and they even scolded me back! Come on, let me see who is trapped there by the real giant."
"Don't gloat, people upstairs. Don't you think this person's strength is a bit outrageous? I took a cursory glance at the photo. There are quite a few non-human crew members on the deck. If nothing else, there must be a Deep Prisoner. Demon Refining, judging by his body shape and the length of his horns, his real strength must be no less than level four. There are also many strong men who are suspected of being level four. I don’t think any of you here are qualified to touch them, and I I also want to ask, is this really a newcomer at the same time as us?"
"A big boss has come forward to speak out. Does anyone know the name of this really big guy? I can warm his bed."
"Okay, let's all go to bed. We are all just foils. What a pity. I am also floating on the sea. This extraordinary suppression is too outrageous. I am a three-masted warship, and I am motionless now!"
"Oh, what a blessing, what a misfortune. I went out to sea for ten days and broke three records in the Endless Sea. Such a monster must be even better than the original ten kings."
"Who knows, but this one is so high-profile, is it really okay?"
"If you have two fourth-level extraordinary ships, I guess you are more arrogant than this one. Okay, don't think about it. Before this one can kill us, hurry up and save points. Don't wait until the end. I can’t even drink the soup.”
"What you said above makes sense. Thank you for your contribution. We will remember you!"
"(Owner) Don't dig your grave. I want to die now. However, I can broadcast to you the real-time progress of this real giant's liquidation of counterfeit goods. Do you want to watch it?"
"Yes, yes! The host is a great person!"
"+1!"
"+2!"
"..."
Zhang Zichen smiled helplessly. He couldn't do anything now anyway, and he didn't dare to move around. He had to find something to do. It would be best if this giant could just disdainfully leave after liquidating the clowns, although this possibility is not high. , but it does not affect him from thinking so.
On the other side, after clearing a clearing, Qiao Yang ordered to stop firing. Compared with the mission points that were readily available, there was another issue that made him sleepy and sleepless and needed to be solved.
He glanced at the Waves of Waves, which was surrounded by the Black Candle fleet. Standing at the top of the ship was Jiang Tao. He was quite impressed. This kid's avatar was really himself. I was afraid I couldn't find him.
At this time, there were exactly four ships in the encirclement. In addition to the Waves, there was also a first-order extraordinary ship and two second-order extraordinary ships, which just met the conditions for the component fleet.
He ignored the newcomers on the periphery. They were just chickens and dogs. They would break into pieces if touched. He just cleaned them up to broaden his field of vision. There were so many people crowded together that it was noisy to his eyes.
"Tina, Marquis, come with me. The others have taken care of the things on the sea. Basque can sail freely and move freely. If any of those people dare to have any thoughts that they shouldn't have, you don't need to tell me. You should Know how to do it!”
"As you command, Captain!"
Everyone respectfully accepted the order, then returned to their positions and took action quickly.
The newcomers on the periphery shivered in fear when they saw the moving Purgatory Black Sin, but because the ship could not move, they could only watch the behemoth approaching them.
However, Basque was just patrolling around and salvaging the loot on the sea. There were a lot of supplies here, and now they all belong to the Black Candle Fleet.
Such behavior naturally made the frightened newcomers breathe a sigh of relief, as long as it was not directed at them. They also read the content of the forum and hated the fake Jiang Tao in their hearts. If it weren't for this guy, they would never have done it. They won't gather here.
The reason is that Jiang Tao added many people as friends and shared his coordinates after entering the mission sea area. Then due to some unknown reasons, the coordinates were "accidentally" leaked, so the density of ships in this sea area is so high. There is no reason.
Like other sea areas, there is basically a captain appearing every ten nautical miles, but it is very peaceful.
If Qiao Yang heard the complaints in these people's hearts, he would probably laugh out loud. Aren't they here because of greed and delusions in their hearts? How come some people think that the lions are colluding with the mice?
In front of the endless sea, Qiao Yang was a mouse, but in front of Qiao Yang, these newcomers were also mice, and they were still a bunch of mice. They could crush a large group of them to death if they just rolled around.
Turning over and jumping off the Black Forest, Khorne below had been waiting for a long time and easily caught Qiao Yang. Tina and Marquis followed closely behind and also landed on its broad back.
Soon, Khorne brought them to the vicinity of the Tidal Wave, and a terrifying body emerged. The bright red lines and strong sulfur smell scared Jiang Tao's crew so much that they did not dare to make any small moves. Such a terrifying giant beast was just in front of them. In an instant, all their fighting spirit was destroyed and they fell into endless fear.
What they still don't know is that a ship that can sail under the sea has unknowingly arrived at the bottom of their ship. Its ferocious collision angle is winding up, and it can deliver a fatal blow at any time, making this seemingly The relatively sturdy boat was smashed into pieces.
"Step~"
Qiao Yang walked along Khorne's fins to the Tidal Wave. Every step he took would leave a scarlet flame footprint on the deck, making a crisp sound. Every step seemed to step on Jiang Tao's heart, giving him a feeling of heart. It's like being grabbed by big hands.
The sea breeze blew by, and the dark crow feather cloak behind Qiao Yang's back fluttered in the wind, and the cold sweat on Jiang Tao's forehead was also blown into his eyes. For a moment, an unbearable sour feeling came, but he did not dare to wipe it away, only the real When he faced Qiao Yang, he realized how terrifying this real record creator was and how ridiculous he himself was.
Looking at Qiao Yang walking slowly, Jiang Tao twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly. He didn't dare to move forward or retreat. He was in a dilemma. He suddenly remembered a joke.
In an ant kingdom, there was a lucky little ant who accidentally ate a piece of honey and grew very fast and strong. Then one day he heard the name of a strong human being, so he stood up and loudly said that he was that human being. The most ridiculous thing is that this ant bit this human without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
The result would be to be mercilessly crushed to death without any effective resistance.
He is now the lucky ant, and the real owner has come to visit him. He has no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the earth.
Qiao Yang took out a handkerchief from his backpack like magic, stepped forward and wiped Jiang Tao's sweat, then put it into his hand, and then said with a smile:
"Why are you so serious? The outcome has been decided, isn't it? Everyone has to pay the price for their choices. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Qiao Yang. Of course, you may not have heard of my name, but it doesn't matter. , I’ve only heard of you, the famous ‘record creator’, Your Excellency Jiang Tao~”
Qiao Yang showed a playful smile and carefully looked at what kind of audacious boy he was. After all, he dared to take advantage of his name and bite him back. Even he admired him.
However, after observing for a while, the result made him very disappointed, because Jiang Tao was afraid, and he could smell the visible fear, which made him feel sick.
"It turns out you are nothing more than that, tsk~"
"I'll give you a lesson this time. You'd better pray that you can get rid of the positioning mark on your body before entering the endless sea. This is not the time to die. See you later!"
After saying this, Qiao Yang pulled out the shadow from his waist. A black light flashed, and Jiang Tao's head rose into the sky. Then the light disappeared. He paid the price for his actions. Now is just the beginning.
Feeling that the positioning mark was still there, Qiao Yang chuckled. He thought he was a hero, but he didn't expect him to be a bear. His expectations were in vain.
At this moment, a new information panel popped up in front of Qiao Yang, with the standings listed at the top, and relevant prompts sounded in his ears.
"Participants have accumulated more than one million mission points, and the overall ranking list is open. You can hide your name and use a code name. Would you like to hide it?"
"If you don't hide it, I should be number one in the standings now. Can you add something?"
Qiao Yang replied very casually, and at the same time tested whether he could hear his words.
"Can."
The emotion of these two words was much higher, and it also made the smile on Qiao Yang's face widen a bit.
"That's great. Write this sentence for me. If you want to trade crew members, come to me (8253.1924.7). The price is fair and there is no limit on quantity!"
There was silence on the other end for a moment, and the next moment, a huge list appeared in the air. Qiao Yang's real-life avatar and the points behind it topped the list, which was very dazzling.
"Qiao Yang——1085000, want to trade..."
The face in the avatar smiled brightly and showed calmness. At this moment, he, the mysterious record creator, finally revealed his true face.
There is no one who is not amazed, and there is no one who is not impressed.
At this moment, no one in the world knows you!
Thanks to the book friends for their monthly votes and rewards, thank you for wandering.
