Chapter 146 Competition of Giant Ships
Time ticked by, and just as Yu Qi was pondering how to expose his tail and see if he could swim in the sea, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and countless dark clouds pressed down, as if the end of the world had arrived in an instant.
Looking out through the transparent glass window, Yu Qi saw the sea surface faintly shimmering with red light, and countless gusts of wind were blowing from afar, causing even the huge ship to begin to rock.
Players who witnessed this were terrified and frantically sent messages in the chat lobby.
"Luckily, the hunt started a few hours in advance, which allowed us to use our resources to negotiate with the captain and quickly get into the giant ship in a vehicle. Otherwise, we probably would have been swept away by those hurricanes while we were still asleep!"
"Thanks to the top hunter! As expected of someone who always dominates the leaderboard and manages to get reliable information, I'm so lucky to be in the same server as you!"
"It's a pity the captain only lets us stay one night; we have to leave tomorrow. What if this storm doesn't stop? There are no safety measures on deck at all. If we go out, we'll definitely be swept into the sea!"
"Family members, we have quite a few players, why don't we just seize this ship? That way we won't have to live in fear of being kicked out by the captain!"
"I think this is a great idea. I wonder if the mastermind behind the hunt is on our ship. If he is, our chances of winning will be much higher, and we can totally seize a giant ship!"
"Haha, you're all just envious. I saw a big shot being hunted on this giant ship before. Then none of us will have to be thrown out!"
"No, isn't this a bit inappropriate? The hunting boss reminded us, and the captain of the giant ship kindly let us in for refuge, but you're thinking of killing the captain. It's like turning your back on us. Shouldn't you at least have some time to prepare? We've only just entered the giant ship!"
"Is the 'Mother Mary' upstairs joking? We're in a survival game, where everyone is fighting to the death. This giant ship is controlled by monsters, and there are many monsters lurking in the shadows coveting our player identities. What's wrong with taking their ship? In this world, might makes right!"
"Yeah, I suggest throwing all the Holy Mothers and Fathers out of the ship so they don't take up space. What kind of time is this to be doing that? Where's the Hunter Boss? Hunter Boss, come out and talk to us! Let's discuss how to hijack the giant ship and kill the captain! When Hunter Boss makes his move, we'll all be there to cheer him on!"
Upon seeing this, Yu Qi smiled.
Some people are truly shameless to the extreme. It's one thing to dream big, but they actually have designs on her!
Hunting Moment: "Various disasters are imminent, and countless monsters are secretly watching your identities. Are you trying to cause chaos now so that everyone will die without a burial place?"
Hunting Moment: "Do you think you're safe just because you're hiding inside a giant ship? Even giant ships are dangerous. Some giant ships' defensive capabilities simply can't withstand the drain from so many disasters, and they still have to go to various sea bases to take refuge."
"Besides, do you really think all those monsters on that giant ship are vegetarians?"
After sending this message, Yu Qi closed the chat room and stared intently at the storm outside.
She could clearly see that there were some small boats placed by players around the giant ship.
During the day, some players will use fishing rods to fish for treasure chests on this small boat.
Many players were reluctant to give up their nighttime earnings, so they didn't put their ships away at night.
So when the storm came, all those small boats were swept up and torn to shreds.
Witnessing the horror of this disaster firsthand, many people instinctively covered their mouths, held their breath, and couldn't believe it.
Fortunately, this was only the beginning of the disaster. The energy of each giant ship was still sufficient, and the ships continued to move forward without any major incidents.
It's unclear how much time passed before the storm finally ended. The sky outside hadn't cleared up yet, and many more sea monsters crawled out and rammed into the ship.
Some monsters had climbed onto the deck and were howling at the humans inside the transparent windows.
"Dear customer, this is how it is every time we travel by ship; we encounter all sorts of disasters."
In the Gold Card Member Hall, Captain Sea Serpent explained to Yu Qi.
"But don't worry, as long as the players kill enough monsters, our ship will have enough energy to successfully reach the sea base."
"So, you don't need to worry."
The captain repeatedly assured him.
Yu Qi listened thoughtfully: "So, if the players outside aren't up to par and can't bring back enough energy, then the giant ship is also in danger, right?"
The captain nodded, his expression grave.
"There are thousands of giant ships in this sea area, and some of them do encounter this kind of difficulty during each voyage."
"But rest assured, customer, my giant ship has made it into the top 100 list three times in a row, and it will definitely get you there safely!"
Yu Qi did not answer, but turned to look outside.
Many players have already been kicked out of the giant ship by the monster waiters.
"Get out! Get out of here right now!"
"Whoever can hand over one hundred intermediate energy hearts today will be able to return to the ship!"
As the monsters roared furiously, groups of players came onto the deck.
Some players felt ashamed, but others saw it as a rare opportunity and began to devise ways to deal with the monsters.
Yu Qi did see that one of the players dropped a mid-level Energy Heart after killing a monster, but some monsters dropped low-level Energy Hearts.
The player who obtained the Heart of Energy was so excited that he wanted to hug and kiss the crystal-clear stone.
Soon, more and more players began to join in.
Yu Qi pinched her chin, and another possibility came to mind.
Is it possible that the leaderboards between the giant ships are also related to the players?
The higher the ranking the giant ship achieves, the more resources the player can obtain.
