Chapter 142 The Foundation of the General Trend
Chapter 142 "The Foundation of the General Trend"
"Captain, now the Floating City belongs to you. This is my insignificant kindness, so please accept it."
Pike handed the crystal ball to Qiao Yang without any reluctance in his eyes. Although it has now become the master of this place, Wandering City was once a prison that bound it.
Now it just wants to be a free sailor and is not interested in controlling a homeland without any good memories.
"You have said so. It will be my fault if I refuse again. To be honest with you, this demiplane is very important to me. I will remember you first. By the way, you are now out of the sea of suffering. What do you want to do in the future? Do you do it? Or do you have any dreams?"
Qiao Yang took the crystal ball and carefully looked at the shrunken floating city while chatting with Parker.
Looking closer, the scene became clearer, and even the treasure house they just went to could be seen. If he didn't know the nature of Wandering City, even he would regard the crystal ball in his hand as a fine magic jewelry.
"I have no dreams. Now I just want to be a real sailor. If you have one, then your dream is my dream."
Pike's tone is very firm and extremely natural. This is his truest thought now. As a person who has died and been crazy, no one can see better than him.
To put it bluntly, after experiencing countless ups and downs in life, Parker has made up his mind. As long as I recognize you, I can do anything.
"Haha, if you want to say that...my dream is to bring down the gods from the sky. What, you want to help me accomplish this?"
"why not?"
Pike's blue eyes flashed several times quickly, and it felt more and more that the choice it made was correct. The man in front of it seemed to have never been in awe of the so-called gods, but no matter what he said was a joke or something, it took it seriously!
"Okay, you are very energetic! Boys, the northeast corner is 17 degrees, the target is Ribes Port, and prepare to return!"
"As you command, Captain!"
The strategic significance of Floating City is extremely high. Except for the chaotic spatial connection points in the core area, the remaining areas can fully exert greater value after being overthrown and rebuilt.
First of all, the energy concentration here is extremely high, which is very suitable for cultivating some special creatures and growing magic potions. There is almost no initial investment, and the output value can be created quickly, which is completely profitable.
Secondly, the huge space can also be used to build a base camp. There is no place more suitable for a base camp than a complete and stable demiplane.
You know, no matter how well-manicured the living area on the ship is, it is still not as good as having a good rest on the ground. The large open space in the floating city can be used to build residential areas. After resting, the combat effectiveness will naturally increase.
The most outrageous thing is that there is a specialty product in Floating City, which is the turtle fish. The magic essence extracted from the green sac is a rare good thing even today. It is even worth more than it once was due to the decrease in output in the past hundred years. If you're better, you'll make a lot of money.
Of course, there will definitely be all kinds of messy problems during the specific operation, but he now has many talents. As the leader, he only needs to determine the general direction, and does not need to do it himself, so rounding is almost no problem. He does math. Always good.
All in all, this is a gold mine waiting to be explored, and it is also the biggest gain of this trip. It will be of great use if used properly.
In addition, in terms of value, the existence of Wandering City itself is even hundreds of times higher than the treasure house we just saw.
This is a movable demiplane where living creatures can reside. Many legendary spellcasters are not worthy of possessing this good thing. Only old monsters who have lived for who knows how long or powerful forces that have lasted for thousands of years will spend a lot of money on it. The price is high for this kind of money-burning land.
In particular, Drifting City is a demiplane of natural evolution. Not only is it extremely stable, it even has the potential to continue evolving. This is a treasure that everyone who wants to create a force dreams of. In the words of the Dragon Kingdom, this is Longxing. Land.
After once again looking at the crystal ball transformed from the floating city with satisfaction, Qiao Yang placed it in the captain's room and was about to sense how far away he was from the main force, when a global announcement fell.
"Global announcement in the mission sea area: The phased challenge mission - Wandering Ghost Shadow has been achieved by the challenger to the true ending. Those who have not yet completed the mission will interrupt the challenge on their own, and the settlement will be based on the basic contribution points, and rewards will begin to be issued. Challengers are requested to do so on their own Check."
Only then did Qiao Yang remember that he had triggered this challenge mission. Now that he had penetrated Wandering City and packed it away, breaking the legend, the mission would naturally end.
The next moment, relevant task reward prompts also began to be distributed, which made people feel happy and sad at the same time.
Some people immediately failed the mission and were killed, some felt like they were about to solve the puzzle, some were cursing, and some were cheering, there were countless others.
"You have completed the phased challenge task - Wandering Ghost Shadow. Your performance is impeccable. Based on the degree of completion, you will be given the following rewards..."
"1 million mission points, 1 treasure map of the mission sea area, 3 mission prompts, and the redemption store will be opened in advance."
"Based on the settlement rewards of other participants, you will receive an additional 233w1145 task points."
Qiao Yang is quite satisfied with the mission rewards, especially the last point. The redemption store is opened in advance, which means that he can continue to strengthen his fleet while completing challenging missions. He now still has the body of a legendary black dragon in his hand. , he was itching to death if he kept doing it like this, now he can let go of his skills and do something big!
As the mission points were distributed, Qiao Yang's already unparalleled points numbers left everyone far behind. A group of "war reporters" who just watched the show started a real-time discussion in the newcomer forum. broadcast.
"Big news, the rookie king's points have increased by 333,1145 points. The current total points are 502,1145 points, which is more than a hundred times that of the second place. There is a 99% chance that the giant will defeat this phased challenge mission. Please be aware! "
"First, come and watch the giant. By the way, how come these points are zero or even?"
"Second, you don't understand what's going on upstairs. Is the realm of a giant man something we can understand? If you can score points with fractions like this, then I will recognize you as a giant man."
"That makes sense."
"I'm knocking, what do you mean by the poster? We all admit that the newcomer is awesome, but isn't it inappropriate for you to use me as a backdrop, but hey, please increase your efforts! The second place can only be mine! I am a newcomer The King’s Dog!!!”
"Good guy, you blew me out. There is actually a big boss upstairs. In just over half a day, I have scored more than 20,000 points. Those who have made great progress in the past are just like this."
"Li Hua, you're almost done. You can be the new king's dog. No matter what, it has to be me."
"You all give way, this dog must be mine."
"New King, look at me, I'm doing well!"
"Say Suo upstairs, send me a photo, and I'll help the new king taste it first."
The forum went crazy while chatting. A bunch of Qiao Chui were vying to be Qiao Yang's dogs. There were many powerful newcomers who were among the best. The other ordinary newcomers were stunned and couldn't help but sigh at the nature of this world. , The weak eat the strong, and the strong is king.
In the extraordinary world, weakness is the original sin. People may feel unwilling to do so, but they will not blame the strong. They will only try their best to make themselves stronger. After all, moral kidnapping will not work here. You have to offend the real strong. Or, people will really rub you into ashes and scatter them from thousands of miles away.
To this day, no one thinks that Qiao Yang will have any accident that will lead to his death midway. At least it cannot be due to a man-made disaster. Don't treat the three kings as decorations. It can be easily foreseen that Qiao Yang is a new civilian who will surely rise.
That's right, someone with outstanding intelligence has deduced that Qiao Yang was not a child of aristocratic family, but was born as a commoner.
This is easy to conclude. If Qiao Yang comes from a noble family, there must be clues left behind, instead of jumping out of the cracks in the rocks like the Great Sage. Wherever there is a source, there must be clues.
Everyone has the same idea. Everyone is on the same level. No one knows who is who. If there is a child of Qiao Yang's level, he cannot hide it.
This post speculating on Qiao Yang's parentage is still at the top of the forum. It contains tens of thousands of words and describes Qiao Yang as if a god came to the world. The most outrageous thing is that everyone agrees with it.
However, the poster is indeed a talented person. You know, Qiao Yang’s current information is spread all over the sky by Blue Star. How do these newcomers who are undergoing trials know? It has to be said that with the huge population base, any geek can Can bloom your own brilliance.
At the same time, the Black Candle fleet is located.
"Tina, I feel the captain's aura. He has become stronger again. It seems that the trip went well."
Oriath's expression, which had always been somewhat erratic, suddenly became radiant. She stood up and looked to the southwest of the fleet.
"I told you not to worry a long time ago. He is a man who cannot be killed. Sister Nia is not even worried. When the captain comes back, I will tell him that there is a beautiful woman who misses him so much that he can't sleep~"
Tina hooked Oriath's neck and blew into her ears with a faint smirk on her lips.
Hearing this, the pretty face of the elegant and dignified Queen quickly turned red. Although she had given away all her body and mind, when she thought of the death scene, an inexplicable sense of shame came to her heart. She turned to look at Tina, "Kill." "meaning" appeared, and she was considering whether to silence her.
"Huh? You don't want to silence me, do you? Help me, someone is going to die!"
Tina ran away with a smile, a childish air of a successful prank, looking around like a white rabbit.
But after leaving the captain's room, they felt relieved. It was not that they didn't believe Qiao Yang. They were different from many of their colleagues. The others were captains, but they had to add another identity.
This is how women exist. No matter how strong or weak they are, most of them will lose their original judgment when faced with this kind of thing, especially when they are committed to a person until death.
Time passed slowly, and the Black Forest was getting closer and closer to the main force.
After the floating city was put away, the "drizzle" in the sky also stopped, and the wind after the rain took away the heat. Qiao Yang also sat leisurely on the deck, with the familiar deck chair under him, carefully crafted by master shipwrights. The objects are just different, which is called comfort.
Marquis led the sailors to adjust the sails, while he controlled the steering wheel himself. Ordinary ships still need to be controlled manually. Fortunately, the people on the ship are all at least level three, otherwise it would be difficult to drive the ship away with just such a few people. .
At this time, Qiao Yang was looking through the mission rewards and checking what good things were in the redemption store.
The treasure map was an old friend, but this one was specifically used in the mission sea area. It marked the location of the treasure. It was in the lake in the sea, which was completely contrary to his route. He could only wait until the next day to take a look.
Then there are the task prompts. This thing is quite metaphysical and its function is very simple. For example, if you can’t find any clues in the challenge task you receive, you can directly obtain certain clues through the prompts. It may be a key clue or it may be nonsense. Use it or not. Fortunately, it directly rewards three opportunities. Even if the accuracy is not good, it can still increase the momentum.
Finally, there was the exchange shop, where the variety of items really dazzled him.
There is a huge difference between a rare treasure that can be exchanged for tens of millions of points and a wooden board that can be exchanged for a hundred pieces with one point.
After scratching through the unlimited items, Qiao Yang found some items that were limited to exchange, especially the limited edition items, which meant that if he exchanged them, others would not be able to exchange them.
The first thing that caught his eye were the familiar Hero Order and the Recruitment Order. The former was limited to 3 and the latter was limited to 100. It was true and Qiao Yang laughed. He knew how could the Endless Sea be so kind? If everyone had the opportunity to exchange for these If you plant something, the legendary crew will not be so precious.
There is nothing to say. Even he would not think that there are too many legendary crew members under his command. Each one only has 100,000 points, which is a waste.
As for the recruitment order, let alone the recruitment order. He is really short of crew members now, and he has spent one million points. He has one hundred and three jade tokens with mysterious runes in his backpack. As long as he uses them , he can add hundreds of new crew members to himself, filling the fleet's population directly.
As for the die-hard crew members he said before, sorry, if you have points, you can do whatever you want!
Looking at the two words "sold out" on the exchange shop icon, Qiao Yang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Looking further down, several seed-like items come into view, named seeds of strength and seeds of agility. Eating them can improve some related attributes, but the restricted attributes are less than 30, 50,000 points each, and the activity limit is 10.
To be honest, this thing is really useless to him. Although it looks good, it can only provide attributes and cannot improve talents. However, the effect of the entries he masters is an all-round improvement. In such a comparison, who is better? Make a judgment.
But since this thing is a seed, theoretically it should be possible to plant it.
Qiao Yang rubbed his chin, and this thought popped up in his mind. Even at sea, some blood factors in his bones were still affecting him.
Six times in a row, Qiao Yang exchanged a seed each for a total of 300,000 points, which was painless and painless.
Then there are designated rare items, designated high-level rare items, and random legendary rare items. The exchange prices are 50,000, 150,000, and 100,000 respectively. For newcomers at this stage, these are astronomical figures.
These are also event-limited items, which can be redeemed four times, twice and once respectively. After thinking about it, Qiao Yang spent another 500,000 points to redeem the previous items, but the last random legendary item can be put away first. Let's go and look down. He doesn't believe that there is anyone other than him who can score more than one million points. If there is, then he must have failed.
Continuing to look, three pieces of legendary equipment came into view, namely a belt, a leather armor and a giant sword.
Click on it, and the detailed attributes and forging materials are clearly marked. The main focus is to ensure that there are no after-sales problems.
But their prices are also quite beautiful. Seven-digit points will definitely make anyone give up the idea of exchanging them. However, this can’t stop Qiao Yang. Without even thinking about it, he directly replaced the giant sword and leather armor, and spent a total of 270w, with just over 200,000 points left.
He really didn't expect that a large-scale event specially provided for newcomers would actually offer legendary equipment for exchange. This was legendary equipment. Many legendary strongmen may not have such a piece of equipment after becoming famous for many years.
All I can say is that if you pass by, you can’t miss it. If you have enough points, you’ll be stuck in the sand if you don’t buy it.
After passing through these limited-edition items, I don’t have many points in my hands at this time. I’ll wait until tomorrow to grab a round and then take a look.
Then Qiao Yang found extraordinary materials, especially extraordinary wood. Although the remaining points could not be exchanged for anything particularly good, it was more than enough if they were simply exchanged for materials.
After spending a lot of points, the Black Forest's cabin has a lot of extra materials for building extraordinary ships. Most of them are first and second level, and there are also a few of third and fourth level, but there are no legendary materials.
After all, no matter what is legendary, the price in the exchange shop is guaranteed to be six figures and half a hundred, which is half a million. This is a very clear distinction.
Maybe only Hero Tokens are so cheap. After all, they are promoted for publicity. The price is a bit low, which is quite reasonable. It's just that they are cheaper than Qiao Yang's now.
With the weight of many extraordinary materials, the waterline of the Black Forest has been increased by several meters. It can be seen how much shipbuilding materials Qiao Yang exchanged this time.
According to his shipbuilding experience, so much material can be used to build two level four extraordinary ships. Of course, the premise is that the corresponding core materials are needed, otherwise there is no way to even think about it.
It is worth mentioning that the construction of an extraordinary ship does not only use the best high-end materials. What is considered is the compatibility between various materials.
As everyone knows, even legendary ships have ordinary wood used for some unimportant connections, and a small number of low-level materials as balancing supports. Blindly stacking high-level materials will not only fail to build a legendary ship, but it is more likely to use various materials. The performance conflict caused it to break when touched, and the performance was even inferior to some low-level extraordinary ones.
Shipbuilding is also a science, and it is a very artistic knowledge.
He couldn't wait to take out the two pieces of legendary equipment he had obtained, and then called Marquis.
"Come on, let's try how it feels."
Before Marquis could react, Qiao Yang threw the giant sword in his hand to him.
The moment he took possession of it, the first mate was stunned at first, and then turned pale with fright. He knelt down on one knee, held up the giant sword with both hands, and said:
"Captain, please take back the reward. My contribution is not enough. You can give it to others."
"I said enough is enough, why don't you use it without taking advantage of it?"
Qiao Yang knew what Marquis was thinking, but he couldn't get what he wanted this time. He had always been as generous as a hammer to his own people.
Compared to most of the people on the ship, Marquis doesn't look like a man who lives on the sea at all. He is as serious as a naval officer who enforces orders and prohibitions. However, under his leadership, the combat qualities of the sailors have been significantly improved in the past year. Improvement, this hidden contribution cannot be recorded, but Qiao Yang has always kept it in mind.
What's more, Marquis's loyalty to him is also seen by him. He is also a member of the god-making plan. Isn't it just a legendary sword? It's not a problem at all.
"No, it's easy, but..."
"Then there are no buts. Keep it well. You are the first mate. When I am not around, I have to rely on you to coordinate the overall situation. What can I do if you are not strong enough?"
With Qiao Yang's unquestionable words, the matter was decided.
Marquis was extremely moved. He didn't know what was wrong with him. After meeting this man, cracks appeared in his strong heart, but he knew that he was willing to die for the man in front of him, no matter in the past or now.
"Excuse me, Captain, what is the name of this sword?"
"Yanxin!"
Hearing this, Marquis couldn't help showing a strange expression on his dark face, and then he couldn't help but laugh:
"Is this actually it? It's such a bad fate~"
"Huh? Bad fate? Come on, tell me what's going on. Do you know the story about this sword?"
Qiao Yang immediately understood that there was a story to listen to, but before he knew it, they had arrived at their destination, Port Ribes!
"We'd better rendezvous with the main force first and deal with the immediate matters first. It won't be too late to tell you this story later."
As soon as he finished speaking, a prompt sounded in Qiao Yang's ears, and the next moment, the port panel appeared in front of him.
"Tip: You arrived at Libos Port, checked the captain's authority, and passed the priority. You got the basic information of this port."

——————
The ships of the Black Candle Fleet were already vaguely visible in the distance, but looking at the port panel, Qiao Yang felt that if they wanted to land on the island tonight, it might not be so smooth.
