Western Hemisphere time, 6 a.m.

The first player, Michael, was woken up by Sariel's phone call: "Hahahahaha~~~I succeeded!"

Michael was in disbelief: "Video!"

"Sent to you!"

Michael saw the wailing mermaid in the cage in the cabin and frowned: "She will summon the sea monster to save her. It's too early to say she will succeed."

Sariel smiled proudly: "What I want is to summon her! I hired the Silver Queen. The 20 Armstrong revolving magic cannons in the two cabins are enough to kill the sea monsters who dare to die. I can just use the equipment and materials to make up for the military expenses of this battle!" "

"Summoning sea monsters will consume a lot of her strength and cause her to downgrade, and your difficult design will become meaningless."

Sariel smiled and said: "I have investigated all the sea monsters nearby, and the losses caused by the downgrade are within the tolerance range!"

Michael asked again: "What about intervening NPCs?"

Sariel sneered: "It hasn't appeared yet. If it is really strong, then I will be prepared to let the Silver Queen perish with it. At that time, we will just buy the seriously injured Silver Queen at the bottom! The loss of the mermaid It can make up for it in some way.”

Michael laughed in surprise: "It seems you have thought very comprehensively! Then I wish you good luck!"

After ending the call, the housekeeper immediately came to report: "Sir, the curfew in Black Iron City has ended, and the city's lockdown plan has been cancelled. That spring, because of the plague report, he was exiled to Plague Island..."

When Michael thought about so many things happening while sleeping, he was very dissatisfied with the research progress - because according to the idea of ​​brain-computer interface, even if he slept, part of his soul consciousness was still uploaded to the game world, so It is equivalent to never sleeping, which is equivalent to having half the life span of others.

Michael asked: "What is the situation on Plague Island?"

The housekeeper said: "After checking it, it was designed as a virus library for isolation. In the background of the plot, it becomes an uninhabited ruin island where plague patients are exiled. In theory, there are no mission events at all. But once it is handed over to the system, it will run automatically. , there is also the possibility of adding plot modules by yourself.”

Michael's brows jumped: "Is it an uninhabited island? Who is leading this incident?"

The housekeeper said: "There are five NPCs related to the city's closure authority, but three of them are attending the dinner and dance. The remaining ones can only be the Lord of Black Iron City or the star mage Favna. Part of Favna's soul has been detained Are you interested in checking it out in the Hall of Valor in the Empire?"

Michael said: "These five star mages are important samples of admired personalities and important samples of consciousness separation technology. There is no need to disturb her for this trivial matter and let her grow freely."

"Understood. In addition, the Kamae team has successfully reached the water cell at the bottom of the prison."

Michael smiled: "Okay, I want to see how they break through the Hell Messenger's defense!"

…

God's front seat headquarters.

The Three Red Regiments attacked the count's mansion and refused to carry out the city lord's epidemic prevention orders. They launched multiple riots and committed extremely serious crimes. They were finally successfully thrown into the water cell at the bottom of the prison.

The team cheered.

The young master also breathed a sigh of relief: "Look for key clues immediately!"

Soon, a team member dug out a discovery on the bottom platform of the elevator: "Young Master, we dug out a magic circle!"

The young master was very satisfied: "As expected, the money was not wasted."

"Young Master, six collapsed passages were discovered."

"Divide into six groups to carry the collapsed stones and find six magic stones."

"receive."

In the transport room, a sudden change occurred, alarming a group of bats!

The team members exclaimed: "Tooth failure! Bat dust is poisonous!"

The more guards there are, the more it means the magic stone is here.

The young master didn't care: "Continue to move rocks after death and resurrection!"

After a while, another team member exclaimed: "Invisible crystal bat! Extremely high physical resistance!"

The young master smiled: "The guards are very strong. The other red groups have to work hard to riot!"

As long as there are many people, even if one person can only move one stone in one life, he can still ignore the guards and get the magic stone.

Although the progress in this regard is relatively smooth, the repayment plan of Utakamaru Noto, the president of the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, is not going well: "Report to the Young Master, Count Ramilhan refuses to see me!"

The young master frowned: "Have you explained your intention?"

"I told you, I won't see you anyway."

The young master knew what the problem was. Either he didn't have enough reputation, or he was angered by piling fish barrels on the wall, or he was unwilling to redeem the dancer.

The Secret Photographer Immortal spoke: "Young Master, you can come up with a dangerous move. Directly admit that it was our Chamber of Commerce who put the fish bucket on the wall. Provoke and anger him!"

The young master was shocked: "Wouldn't this mean that he has disappeared even more?"

The secretly photographed immortal asked: "If the young master were a count, would the young master be seen or not?"

The young master said solemnly: "If it were me, of course I would be dragged in front of you and beaten!"

The Secret Photographer Immortal said: "So, the weight of friendship and hostility is different. If you are friendly with the count, our Chamber of Commerce is not even worthy of licking his shoes. If you are hostile, we can talk face to face immediately!"

The young master's brows jumped: "Youtakamaru, give it a try!"

Soon, the news of Utakamaru's success came: "Report to the young master, I succeeded! The count asked me to lick his shoes to apologize!"

The young master was overjoyed: "Young Candid Photographer, you are truly the ace of the task force!"

The candid photo said solemnly: "Young Master, you are well rewarded! But this meeting is a violation of trust and against the rules, so Amy must also go against the rules. I will persuade this Amy to express her position in front of the Earl, and she is not willing to leave the Earl's Mansion, which has good food and good accommodation. ”

"That's right. It's up to you!"

…

At around 9 o'clock in the evening, Dachun slept on a stool in the square dance square for more than three hours, which could be regarded as replenishing energy for tonight's all-nighter, and then leisurely returned to the Internet cafe.

Bar girl: "Hello, Mr. Ding."

The great gods greeted: "Hello, Brother Chun!"

"Brother Chun, you just went out to eat and the city lockdown order was lifted. Brother Chun has done a great job."

Hey, I'm so frustrated, you guys are still so excited...

Dachun continued to watch and chat on the first floor for a while, and then returned to the private room unhurriedly.

As soon as the door closed, Dachun couldn't hold back his heartbeat and couldn't wait to go online. He was really afraid that something might happen in these four hours! It's a lie to say you don't care if you die in church.

As soon as it went online, a row of system message prompts appeared on the screen:

——System prompt: Congratulations! Your outstanding wisdom overcomes your weakness, and your muscle memory is restored to level 5 of elementary fishing skills...

——System prompt: Congratulations! You have outstanding wisdom and perseverance despite the weakness of the epidemic. You have successfully adapted the mechanical principles of the fishing rod combination. The module combination skills have been promoted to advanced level 1, and you have obtained achievement rewards: load +1, physical strength +1, command +1, and spirit + 3. You get the reward achievement of "Three Days of Blessings for Newcomers": Wisdom +1.

——System prompt: You have been infected with an unknown disease spread by Plague Crows. You have once again been blessed by the "Power of the Whale". The power of the whale cannot eliminate the plague and the Crow Plague. Your ability to resist the disease is improved and you are immune to toxin damage by 15 points.

——System prompt: Congratulations! You gain the new skill "Sonic Radar" from the possessed evil spirit. It can detect the surrounding terrain through radar. Using this skill requires stamina or mana.

…

Not only did nothing happen, but I had a great realization!

Plague of crows? New skills for evil spirits! ? Whale blessing?

At this moment, a whale blow filled with pleasure sounded!

When Dachun turned around, he couldn't see clearly. He could only see a black blurry hill near the boat!

Dachun was so excited: "Great, you are finally here! I have now become the owner of this island, and I urgently need your help!"

The whale sprays again - system prompts: The whale expresses its willingness to help protect!

Wow hahahaha, although it can't go ashore, it's safe and full!

Elaine's voice then sounded: "Is this whale your friend?"

She's finally here! Huh, the dancers are the most charming! Have you taken it?

Dachun smiled proudly: "As long as you are sincere, you will have friends!"

The dancer was really in awe: "It blessed you when it came and woke me up."

Dachun asked in surprise: "Its blessing has a purifying effect, are you okay?"

The dancer snorted coldly: "It's you who are in trouble. There's another plague. I've finally gotten to know it, but it can't purify you of the plague and crow plague."

But can it purify your soul?

Anyway, I don’t have to worry about getting sick anymore! I went to a higher level even though I was sick, which directly added 3 points of spirit! This is obviously to make up for the rewards for beginners and intermediates, right? That is to say, as long as I complete all my skills while I'm sick, I'm afraid I'll have to add dozens of points of energy! Even if you can't become a mage, you can still resist various control spells. Is it even more resistant than the Paladin profession?

Dachun immediately asked: "This sonic radar is the bat skill you have learned?"

Ailian also smiled proudly: "This is a demon skill for being promoted to a demon! Let you see it!"

——System prompt: You activate the possessed evil spirit's sonic radar skill.

The next moment, the familiar far-sighted perspective function of the infrared night vision device in the sewer appeared again.

Damn, this skill came just in time. Although it can't replace the eyes, it's still a problem when opening the map!

But I only saw the moving forms of various crows and small fish.

Dachun said hurriedly: "I want to know if there is anyone on the island and if there is any danger! Can you get closer?"

Ailian said in a deep voice: "I feel like there is no one around. You can go around the island and have a look."

OK! So I rowed again in spring.

The whale hums - system prompts: The whale asks you if you need to pull the boat?

Need it! But the fishing rod has six hooks!

"Wait for me."

Dachun immediately closed the pole, fumbled and stuffed the fishhook into the mouth of a large yellow croaker, then randomly wound the thread to tie up the large yellow croaker, and then put it into the sea: "Okay, this way it won't be caught by the hook!"

The whale grabbed the big yellow croaker and dragged it gently!

——System prompt: Congratulations! You overcame extreme weakness and restored muscle memory recall to level 1 of Intermediate Fishing Skills, and received additional achievement rewards: life +6, spirit +1! The skill proficiency of the module combination was improved.

Damn it! !

As expected of a whale biting the hook, he was upgraded to 6 levels in a row just like yesterday, directly to the intermediate level! Add another 1 point of spirit. Sure enough, as long as the disease-carrying skill is upgraded to a higher level, the spirit will be increased by 1 point. So with this momentum, it will be a matter of minutes to reach the advanced level! It feels like teaming up with a whale to cause a bug!

The effect of Spirit +1 was very significant, and Dachun clearly felt that the range of the radar was farther away.

Ailian was even more shocked: "This whale is so smart!"

Dachun was excited: "Actually, my original plan was to train a whale to become a sea god!"

Ailian said in surprise: "The Star Mage gave you a Chamber of Commerce token. There is a patron saint option on the token!"

Yes, but the patron saint must have divine attributes and be friendly enough. Let’s see how this option works.

Dachun took out the token and clicked on the option - Black Flag Order Tip: Please ask the gods for permission!

Want to have a conversation?

Dachun said: "Old Whale, I want you to be the patron saint of my territory, are you willing?"

Old Whale made a surprised sound——System prompt: Whale said he dared not call himself a god!

——Black Flag Order prompt: Whale has extremely high anti-magic characteristics, derived from a weak divinity, but the overall strength is insufficient, and it cannot be collected as a patron saint at present!

Uh...Huh?

Although failure is expected, I didn't expect it to be really divine! Is this the product designed by the consortium boss?

Dachun was excited: "As long as its external injuries are cured, maybe we can create a god?"

Ailian was also quite excited: "The value of a god is inestimable. Even if it is not qualified, as long as others believe that it is a god, even if it owes 10 billion in debt, it is nothing. Some nobles are willing to come and invest in it..."

So, as long as it is packaged and boasted as a god, it will be fine if others believe it?

That's how it works, right? Very good!
