Su Ming came to a deserted sea cliff in Mordia City. Looking down from the top, he could see a silver-white three-masted sailboat with NPC sailors scrubbing the deck.
Su Ming sent a message to Venus, telling her that he had arrived. After a while, Venus walked out of the captain's cabin.
She has a gun on her left and a sword on her waist. She wears a white lining and a red and black windbreaker with lace sewn on the chest. She looks particularly luxurious.
Venus communicated with a beige-haired female NPC on the boat before sending a message to Su Ming:
"You come down."
After receiving the news, Su Ming jumped off the sea cliff. This time, he did not use the "Gliding Feather", but stretched out his hand to summon Eggy.
Although Eggy looks small, it is very strong. It is absolutely no problem to take Su Ming to fly in the air.
Now Su Ming grabbed Dandan's short legs and slowly fell down.
Seeing a flying dragon, the NPCs on the deck panicked and stopped working. An NPC who was wiping the bow of the dolphin on the deck shouted with his rotten teeth:
"What are you making all this fuss about! Why don't you hurry up and get to work! After washing the deck, go check the cabin! Cannons! Sail! Aren't the storms on the sea not so scary?!"
After being trained by him, these NPCs continued to work.
Su Ming landed on the boat and let go of Dandan's legs. Dandan curiously flew here and there on the boat, observing every person he saw before leaving.
"Edan, don't scare others."
"Okay~"
Venus looked at Su Ming with a smile and asked:
"Is Dandan a dragon? Why is it wrapped in an eggshell?"
"It's a long story..." Su Ming also smiled and said, "But it doesn't matter. I will be on the ship for a long time, so I'll tell you slowly."
Venus nodded and gave instructions to the beige-haired NPC who was following her before taking Su Ming to the captain's cabin to chat with Su Ming.
Su Ming told Venus about Dandan and the sage beetle;
Venus told Su Ming even more, including what to do on this journey, the operation of the entire ship, and buying epic equipment for Su Ming.
The auction house for epic equipment revealed by Gaigeu was held not long ago. This is one of the few opportunities for players to get access to epic equipment. Su Ming also asked Venus to take one or two pieces back for him.
.
"The competition was fiercer than expected, and I only managed to buy one for 520,000 gold coins." Venus placed a battle ax on the table.
"It's a good one. By the way...do I have enough money?" Su Ming asked.
It’s been a long time since he managed the money in the warehouse…
"That's enough, you can make so much money in almost a week now." Venus said, "Hurry up and call Xiao Hei out to eat~"
"kindness."
Su Ming summoned Xiao Hei.
When Xiao Hei saw Venus, he jumped into Su Ming's arms - she was a bad woman, and as long as she was around, the master would not care about her.
But the next moment, Xiao Hei was taken away by Venus. Xiao Hei struggled and screamed to return to Su Ming's arms.
Su Ming didn't notice Xiao Hei's mood. He held Xiao Hei back, pointed to the battle ax on the table with a smile, and said:
"Don't be naughty, Xiao Hei. Sister Venus wants to feed you epic equipment."
Xiao Hei blinked his eyes, turned his head and saw the epic battle axe, jumped over happily and started to devour it.
Venus touched Xiao Hei who was eating equipment and said:
"It should take a long time. Let me introduce you to the NPCs on the ship first. I won't tell you about the players. They are all players in the guild. But I haven't called them yet because this ship needs to be hidden.
, I was discovered by the NPC in Mordia City and came to beat me again, which is very annoying."
Su Ming nodded and followed Venus out of the captain's cabin and onto the deck.
"First of all, she is my follower and the first mate of this ship." Venus pointed at the beige-haired NPC looking at the observation deck and said, "Her name is Rael, she is the NPC I released from prison before.
One of them has been following me since he was released. He is very strong, probably similar to a level 40 player wearing dark gold equipment.
Part of the reason for this voyage is to help her. The items that her family has guarded for generations were stolen by pirates. This time she went to sea and recovered the items. I will share the task with you. "
With that said, Venus shared a mission called "The Glory of the Abberline Family" with Su Ming. The mission description was very similar to what Venus said, and the "Missing Pirate Group" mentioned in it was Wei.
The pirate group that Nas is going to fight this time.
Su Ming didn't expect that Venus could have a dark gold-level follower.
Followers are a gameplay only available to professional players in the main life. They can join adventurers' unions, hire NPCs, and protect themselves.
This type of NPC includes NPCs that are directly generated by the system and fabricated out of thin air. There are also NPCs like "Rael" that are originally set and follow the player because of special events.
Generally speaking, the latter will be stronger.
The combat AI of these NPCs will be very high, and their skills are usually higher than those of players, similar to people like Zui Mingyue who have practiced fighting skills in real life.
However, this type of NPC is generally only responsible for protection. If you want them to take the initiative to attack monsters, the rewards will be reduced. If one follower joins the battle, the reward will be reduced by 30%, two will be reduced by 70%, and three or more will be reduced by 99%, which is equivalent to
So I just stopped exploding things and gave no experience.
Therefore, it is not feasible to use the follower mechanism of the main life professional player to feed the combat professional player.
After introducing Leer, Venus pointed to the sailor who was wiping the bow of the ship and introduced:
"That's Leo, the boatswain I was looking for at the dock. He's the sailor in charge of the whole ship, and he's also the navigator. You just need to know him. There's nothing much to talk about."
Su Ming nodded and looked at Leo... This guy has been wiping the bow of the boat since he got off the boat, and he is still wiping it now... He is an NPC who knows how to fish.
Venus obviously noticed it too. She yelled at Leo, drove him away from the bow of the ship, and took Su Ming into the cabin.
We introduced them room by room.
Most of them are dormitories and cannot be used by players.
The more important thing is the kitchen, where there is a fat cook NPC named "Gleni". He has a rosy face and seems to be a very honest and kind person. After meeting Su Ming, he even gave Su Ming some biscuits to eat.
Leaving the kitchen and walking down the aisle, Venus said:
"You can fish on the boat. If you catch rare fish, leave it to Glenni to handle, and you can increase his attributes. Don't look at his ordinary appearance, but he is actually a master chef. I spent a lot of money.
Invite him on board."
Su Ming nodded, indicating that he understood.
Having a good cook on the ship can increase the morale of the NPCs on the ship, which is very important.
"The next thing I want to introduce is the manufacturer of this 'Dolphin'..."
"I know, Boni." Su Mingxiao, Venus had always mentioned to him this NPC who would take money without doing anything.
Venus pressed the door handle and said with a smile:
"That's right, that's her. She's the engineer on the ship. It's up to her to repair the ship if it breaks down. If she gives you a mission to find alcohol, you're 200% not allowed to take it."
"Yeah, I know."
Venus pressed the door handle and opened the room. Dandan rushed out and bumped into Venus.
"Dandan!" Su Ming shouted. When Dandan saw Su Ming, he turned around and bumped into Su Ming's arms. The force was so strong that Su Ming fell down.
Dandan looked up at Su Ming, pointed at the room with her little paws, and said:
"There are some strange people in the room."
Su Ming looked into the room and saw a woman with black and white hair, holding a wine bottle in her hand, and singing loudly.
She staggered out, and when she saw Venus, she took her hand and danced with Venus.
"Bonnie! Why did you drink wine again? Who brought you the wine?!"
"It's Xiaolonglong~hiccup~"
Venus danced with Boni's footsteps and said to Su Ming:
"Brother Su Ming, hurry up and take away all her wine, and then tell your pet not to find wine for her either..."
Su Ming nodded, quickly snatched the wine bottle from Boni's hand, then ran into the room and took away all the remaining wine.
Dandan pointed to the corner of the bookshelf and called out twice. Su Ming opened the book and found the wine Boni had hidden.
When Boni saw that the wine she had hidden was taken away, she shouted:
"Don't touch my baby."
As she spoke, she raised her hands and staggered toward Su Ming. Su Ming turned around and hid. Venus closed the room and shouted:
"I'll come find you when you sober up!"
Then Venus looked at Su Ming, shrugged and said:
"These are probably the most important NPCs on the ship. The rest are just odd jobs. You can get to know them gradually during the voyage."
"Yes." Su Ming nodded and asked, "Sister Venus, when will we set off?"
Venus called up the system time, took a look, and said:
"Let's do it now. We will arrive at our destination early tomorrow morning."
"What about the others? Don't they come to the ship first?"
Venus stretched out her finger, tapped Su Ming's forehead and said:
"It's stupid. If you're a guild member, just summon them."
