Chapter 0128: Thousands of ships set sail and hundreds of boats race against each other

Today's first update, Chapter 128, published at 0:00 on the 21st (Chinese New Year~ Click here to urge for more updates as New Year's money!)

...

Facing Xu Kun's smile, Zhan Rourou pursed her lips and said a little embarrassedly: "I haven't had time to study the strategy of the fourth floor carefully, but I have heard a saying... The nightmare level difficulty of the fourth floor is also known as the Tianjiao Falling Field. Even SSS-level talents have a great chance of falling in the nightmare level difficulty. Are you... sure?"

Xu Kun affirmed: "Of course!"

Not only did he know that the "nightmare level difficulty trial" of the fourth floor of the boundless sea was called the Tianjiao Falling Field, but he also read the strategies of the second to tenth floors carefully during the study process in those few days!

And he had his own corresponding insights and plans!

At this moment, Xu Kun showed the qualities that a top student should have. With his advanced study habits, he popularized to Zhan Rourou, who was also a top student: "The fourth level is called the Boundless Ocean. It is easy to understand from the name. Next, we will face a map of the sea!"

"What we have to do is to take the corresponding gifted ship and sail on the Boundless Ocean!"

"Depending on the talent level, the ships driven by the gifted people of each race are also different!"

"From high to low, they are SSS-class battleships equipped with large-caliber naval guns, SS-class cruisers equipped with large-caliber guns, and S-class destroyers equipped with torpedoes!"

"A-class frigates, B-class speedboats, C-class ships, D-class sailboats, E-class wooden boats, and...F-class rafts!"

Speaking of this, Xu Kun was a little embarrassed. He had already expected that he would drive a small raft and sail on the crisis-ridden Boundless Ocean!

Zhan Rourou listened with relish. These were all things she had never known before.

"In other words, we have to sail across the entire ocean in ships representing our respective levels?"

Xu Kun nodded.

Zhan Rourou thought about it, then frowned and said, "Those with low-level talents seem to be at a disadvantage, especially your F-level talent..."

When she thought of Xu Kun sailing on a small raft on the sea, Zhan Rourou burst out laughing.

Xu Kun's face darkened: "The ships equipped with talents are just the beginning, but they don't mean absolute!"

"Ah? Why is that?"

Xu Kun said proudly: "In the boundless sea, there is an interesting mechanism. Race trialists can share ships!"

Zhan Rourou was stunned, and then said happily: "I understand. If there is an SSS-level talent from the same race driving a large battleship, it can protect the entire race. Is that right?"

Xu Kun smiled secretly: "Congratulations, you got the wrong answer!"

Zhan Rourou's expression froze, revealing a stupid expression. Looking at Xu Kun's mean smile, she realized that he was just teasing her. She immediately refused and pushed: "Then tell me, what is the situation of sharing ships?"

"Hehe, the rules of Haotian Tower are very fair, and naturally expected A battleship driven by an SSS-level talent not only crushes other levels of ships in terms of safety, tonnage, and offensiveness, but the key is that a battleship is enough for all people participating in the trial to board the deck, plus the power supply of a thousand people, the boundless ocean is no longer dangerous for a battleship with an SSS-level talent at the helm! "

"So, this interesting ship-sharing mechanism is that low-level talents cannot be invited to board the ships of high-level talents, and high-level talents can choose to give up their original ships and share ships with low-level talents!"

"Oh? Is that so? How can there be a fool who gives up his good ship and fights with others for a bad ship!" Zhan Rourou was speechless for a moment, thinking that this mechanism was meaningless, it was just to prevent low-level talents from passing more easily!

Xu Kun took a deep look at Zhan Rourou, and secretly said in his heart: I hope you won’t become the fool you said later!

"Then you are wrong. If a high-level talent abandons his own ship and boards a low-level ship, he can help the low-level talent to rob other people's ships!"

"What is the game?" Zhan Rourou asked puzzledly.

"Ahem, although low-level talents cannot directly board the ship of high-level talents, if you complete the counterattack and kill the high-level talent, you can gain control of the other party's ship!"

"Oh~" Zhan Rourou suddenly realized: "You mean that high-level talents can abandon their original ships, board the ship of low-level talents, and then help him to rob other high-level talents' ships, so that everyone can board?"

"Yes, that's the reason. Ownerless ships are not protected to the extreme. That is to say, you have to be able to gather a large group of people to kill an SSS-level talent and then rob him. battleship, so, wouldn't it take off right there?"

Zhan Rourou pursed her lips: "It's easy for you to say that. If you really encounter a battleship driven by an SSS-level talent, you probably won't have time to run away, and you still want to rob it!"

"Haha, anyway, the opportunity is here, it depends on whether you cherish it or not!"

"Is the size of the ship important?"

Faced with this simple question, Xu Kun nodded: "When sailing on the sea, you will encounter many natural disasters that human power cannot resist, as well as sea-like monsters entrenched in the deep seabed!"

"A good ship not only means that the ship is equipped with heavy weapons, but also can withstand greater winds and waves and monster attacks!"

"Imagine, if the boat capsizes, how long can people like you and me swim in the sea? The boundless sea is very vast, and swimming with human power... is impossible!"

"So that's how it is!" Zhan Rourou felt that her eyes were opened. She didn't expect to encounter such an interesting way of playing when participating in the fourth level trial!

"No... As far as I know, the control of a normal ship is also very complicated. If we want to travel through the entire sea, do we have to learn how to drive a boat first?" Zhan Rourou asked stupidly.

Xu Kun was amused by her question: "Of course not. The ships given by the Infinite Ocean according to their talents do not have so many complicated controls, including power and heavy weapons on the ships. They are all equipped with corresponding magic arrays, and the power source required by the magic arrays is the skills or attacks performed by the trialists themselves!"

"If you want a ship to sail fast, the higher the attack or skill intensity you perform, the faster it will be. Similarly, if you want to exert the attack ability of the weapons on the ship, you must also input enough damage!"

"It can be like this!"

"Of course, the Haotian Tower is omnipotent, and all aspects you can consider will be included!"

"Then what I know about the three difficulties of traveling through the Infinite Ocean, what about it?" This is what Zhan Rourou cares about the most!

Especially the nightmare level difficulty. Anyone who has a little understanding of the fourth level knows that the nightmare level difficulty is not for those with SSS-level talents... Be careful!

It is said that even SSS-level talents don’t know how many nightmare level difficulties have been buried!

"The so-called three difficulties actually represent the three routes through the boundless sea, from low to high, they are the normal windless zone, the difficult strong wind zone and the nightmare storm zone!"

Zhan Rourou listened attentively. These knowledge points were not covered in their high school. The twelve years of education from elementary school to high school were all some basic knowledge for popularization, as well as for the novice trials similar to the college entrance examination answer sheet!

It's not that the various knowledge points starting from the second floor are impossible to obtain, but they are useless to them at that time, just like when they were still learning cultural knowledge in ancient China, they only needed to learn quantum mechanics in college~

Similarly, as fresh graduates, they should have waited until they entered the academy to delve into the 2-10th floor. This is also the way many ethnic trialists choose. During this period, they can learn more strategies to increase the chance of passing the level!

At this stage, those who try to enter the second floor and start the subsequent level-breaking are either absolutely confident in their own strength, such as those SSS-level talents, or they try to pick up leaks while the main force has not yet been put into the tower climbing.

For example, the four SS-level talents that Xu Kun met before, and Yuan Xiaomeng, are all like this!

It’s not that it’s difficult to acquire knowledge. For example, the strategies for levels 2-10 can be searched through the metal bracelet. Graduates who have already obtained F-level permissions after graduating from high school can search a lot, but as for the accuracy, there is no way to judge. Most of them are some previous experiences, which are misleading and biased!

The truly valuable strategies can only be viewed after having high-level permissions of the human race.

That is the essence of the knowledge of the entire human race!

Zhan Rourou has a king-level grandfather as a background, so it is not difficult for her to check some rare information, but she has no time. Unlike Xu Kun, he started from the novice trial and completed the trial within one day. He spent the remaining six days holding books and reading!

Xu Kun pursed his lips and continued: "For the three trials of the boundless sea with different difficulties, there are actually corresponding professional terms!"

"The normal level trial mode of passing through the windless area is called a thousand sails competing!"

"The difficult level trial mode of passing through the strong wind area is called a hundred boats competing for the current!"

"The nightmare level trial mode of passing through the storm area is called a lone sail in the distance!"

"A thousand sails competing for the current...a hundred boats competing for the current...a lone sail in the distance..." Zhan Rourou said thoughtfully.

"I think you also understand something from these three names!" Xu Kun smiled.

"Is it the number of people?" Zhan Rourou said uncertainly.

Xu Kun nodded: "That's right, Thousand, Hundred, and Lone refer to the number of people participating in the trial in the three modes!"

"Thousand Sails Race, it takes a thousand race trialists to start. At present, I'm afraid that only our map has passed the third level. Although there are enough people to pass the level, just like Xiao Meng and others, most race trialists will not participate in the fourth level trial at this stage!"

The ordinary difficulty Thousand Sails Race is like a thousand-person dungeon. It must be enough people, and the talents of all levels must be balanced before it can start!

There is no such thing as a bunch of low-level talents gathering a thousand people and starting the sailing journey. At least, like the third level, in the absence of SSS-level talents, some SS-level talents should be arranged to participate. Otherwise, those who participate early will not get a big advantage?

Either one superpower and many strong, or the princes fight for hegemony. This is also the iron law of the trial of the collective participation of the Haotian Tower!

As the first echelon, it is difficult for Xu Kun and others to gather enough people of quality and quantity!

However, the difficulty of the Thousand Sails Competition is the mode that 99% of the race trialists will choose, because in this mode, the chance of death is the lowest!

In the Thousand Sails Competition mode, the ship driven by the trialist will sail in the widest, safest and peaceful windless area of ​​the boundless ocean.

In the boundless sea, the most threatening thing is the wind and waves formed in the sea, which can overturn the ship if you are not careful. Except for some sea trialists who can survive in the sea, the other race trialists will have no choice but to die once their ships are destroyed!

Therefore, having a sturdy ship can greatly increase the chance of traveling through the entire boundless sea!

Secondly, in the boundless sea, there are sea race monsters living, which is also the second most threatening existence to a group of trialists!

For example, in the windless area, there are few sea race monsters, most of which are low-level talent sea race monsters!

But don't underestimate the low-level talent sea race monsters. In the boundless sea, even if it is just a F-level talent race monster, if you are not careful, the frigate driven by the A-level talent will be pierced and leaked, and even overturned and fell into the sea!

This is the charm and horror of the sea. Under the seemingly calm sea surface, you can never imagine what dangers are hidden!

For the race trialists who choose the Thousand Sails Competition mode, the most dangerous thing is not the boundless sea itself, but the other 999 race trialists who participate in the trial!

This is also a common problem in all trial levels with a large number of people!

In addition to the prerequisite of mutual conquest between races, in order to reduce the number of opponents competing with themselves for high-level scores, in the windless area of ​​Thousand Sails Competition, they often carry out non-stop bombardment, striving to sink the opponent's ships!

It is not uncommon to form alliances and hold together for warmth. Even the battleships driven by SSS-level talents may be sunk by speedboats and ships driven by a large group of low-level talents!

What? You said that low-level talents driving their own small boats to hit large ships is like a moth flying into a flame?

But I tell you, racial interests are above all else. In every session, there are such dead men. The purpose is to defend the dignity of the race!

Even in ancient China, similar battle records have been passed down. Xu Kun also heard his history teacher seriously mention a corresponding case!

That was a fishing boat captain named Zhan in ancient China. When facing the Sakura destroyer that entered the territorial waters of ancient China, he showed the bloodiness of the Chinese people and used an old fishing boat to hit the opponent's huge warship, proving to the world that the Chinese territory is sacred and inviolable!

And Xu Kun also remembered the captain and the ship he drove in his heart and took them as examples!

Captain Zhan Qixiong, Minjinyu 5179 fishing boat!

...

The story of using a small boat to sink a ship is also common in the windless area. Many high-level talents have suffered a great loss in this regard.

Therefore, in the windless zone under the difficulty of Thousand Sails, there is no one who is truly invincible, which also gives many low-level talents the opportunity to try to get a higher trial score!

Another reason why 99% of the race trialists choose the Thousand Sails mode is that there are six strategic check-in points in the windless zone.

Strategic check-in points are some isolated islands on the sea. From near to far, after completing a check-in, you can get a trial score of F-level to A-level, and after completing the strategic point check-in, you can also choose to end the trial directly at that time and safely teleport to the fifth level!

Invisibly, it also gives a guarantee to the trialists participating in this mode. If you can see the strategic point island, you can choose to use a ship to crash the ship of other races, drag the other party into the water, and then swim to the island to check in and leave!

As for the higher-level S, SS, and SSS-level scores, they need to travel through the entire boundless ocean and then step into the teleportation array. Similar to the third level, in a thousand-man group's Thousand Sails Competition mode, only one SSS-level score is born, two SS-level scores, and the remaining seven S-level scores!

After listening to Xu Kun's explanation, Zhan Rourou nodded repeatedly: "This mode sounds very interesting!"

Xu Kun grinned: "In the Thousand Sails Competition mode, the races fight each other at sea, and the winner is unknown until the last moment. Moreover, because of the existence of six strategic islands, the difficulty of death is greatly reduced, so it is favored by many races of trialists!"

"What about the Hundred Boats Competition mode?"

"The Hundred Boats Competition mode is generally similar to the Thousand Sails Competition. In addition to the reduction in the number of people, the most important thing is that the threat of the vast sea itself has increased. The strong winds that blow from time to time and the huge waves that are raised represent that it is difficult for speedboats driven by B-level talents to survive in them!"

"Of course, the strong wind area in the Hundred Boats Competition mode also has six strategic points to check in, and the kind of As the number of people decreases, the conquests between tribes will also decrease accordingly. There will be fewer fights between each other, but more resistance to strong winds and attacks from more powerful sea monsters! "

"Under normal circumstances, unless it is difficult to gather the number of people for the Thousand Sails Competition, there is no need to consider the Hundred Boats Competition mode. For us now, the Thousand Sails Competition mode is probably difficult to gather the number of people, but the Hundred Boats Competition mode, which only requires 100 race trialists, can probably try to line up... But I think the two SS-level talents from the Nine-tailed Fox Tribe and the Tiger Killing Tribe will not continue the trial in a short time, so we can't consider the Hundred Boats Competition mode for the time being!"

Zhan Rourou was speechless for a moment. She had never heard of someone who could not continue the trial on the fourth level due to the number limit after passing the third level.

"Then there is only the nightmare-level Lone Sail Far Shadow mode left. Is this mode a single-player mode?"

Xu Kun shook his head: "The nightmare-level Lone Sail Far Shadow mode is very different from the previous two modes!"

"Lone Sail does not mean that only one person is participating. For example, in the windless area and the strong wind area, no matter how many people participate in the trial, there will be enough areas for the trial participants to participate. But there is only one storm area in the Lone Sail Far Shadow mode!"

Zhan Rourou widened her eyes: "In other words, no matter how many people choose the Lone Sail Far Shadow mode, they will be arranged on the same route and the same starting coast?"

"Yes, that's right!"
