Chapter 2: The first life simulation (please follow up)
When I watched One Piece before, all I saw as a bystander were the passionate battles and the touching companionship.
But it was only through personal experience that Wood truly understood how vicious the so-called "pirates" were.
There are always very few pirates like Luffy and others in this sea.
There is no problem at all in saying that the "Straw Hats" are more like adventurers than pirates.
It is undeniable that among pirates, there are those who protect one side like Whitebeard and Shanks.
But more pirates actually go to sea for profit and fame. They are not good men and women, otherwise how could they be called "pirates".
Today's Hongye Island residents, after the arrival of the "Great Pirate Age", the population has dropped by more than a quarter.
Some people died tragically at the hands of pirates, while others could not bear the pirates' visits every three days and never chose to leave the island.
However, Wood knew that the "Age of Great Pirates" had begun, and now no place in the entire sea was safe in the strict sense.
Even if you leave Hongye Island, who can guarantee that you won't encounter other pirates on the sea?
The vast sea is full of hope, but it is also extremely dangerous. Inexperienced people who go to sea almost always end up with a narrow escape.
In addition to the possibility of encountering vicious pirates, there are too many unpredictable factors such as tsunamis and Neptunes.
If you want to live in this world, obtain safety in the strict sense, and improve your own strength, this is the real hard truth.
Wood is now fifteen years old, and his height has reached 1.8 meters. Judging from his appearance, he should be able to grow taller in the next two years.
He used to be quite complacent. After all, his height coupled with his good looks, which are far above the average, directly gave Wood a sense of belonging. Who would mind being reborn as a long-legged oppa?
However, when Wood later learned that the world he was in was a pirate world, he suddenly felt that his height was simply not up to the standard of "long legs" in this world.
The average height per capita in the pirate world is ridiculous, and everyone is generally overdeveloped, leaving aside special races such as the giants.
Ordinary humans, such as the three great naval admirals, have an average height of about three meters. Even the pirate empress Hancock, the wife of many sea fans, is 191 centimeters tall.
Looking at it this way, Wood, who is 1.8 meters tall at the age of 15, would not look like a dwarf at best in this world. He is really not tall...
Closer to home, the above is just Wood's experience on the island during this period. His first priority at the moment is to make himself stronger.
After the mission was completed, Wood got a chance to simulate life. There is no need to elaborate on the system's related abilities. Wood had played a lot in his previous life.
So after putting down the axe, Wood slumped directly to the ground and started his first life simulation.
"When you were 15 years old, because Hongye Island where you lived was burned, killed, and plundered by pirates many times, you were filled with righteous indignation and determined to become stronger, and started physical training day and night.
At the age of 16, the Navy Headquarters realized the strategic value of Hongye Island and dispatched warships, but they just missed you leaving Hongye Island...
At the age of 17, you left Hongye Island. After two years of sea experience, you acquired certain navigation skills and wiped out a small pirate group.
You are 18 years old, young and energetic, and in order to chase down a notorious pirate group, you end up straying into the Windless Zone.
At the age of 19, you accidentally entered the windless zone. After persisting for a period of time, you experienced a lack of food and perished in the sea, including people and the boat...
Because you have died, this simulation is over."
Unlike the simulator Wood played before, which could easily simulate hundreds of years and survive the tribulation, Wood was speechless when he saw only a few messages appearing on the screen.
How should I put it? It's unexpected, but it seems reasonable.
This sea is full of dangers, and I am not a guy like Wang Lufei who is a relative in the whole sea and has the aura of the protagonist.
The moment you decide to go to sea, you are already faced with a great deal of death.
It would be better to say that a newcomer like Wood was able to go to sea alone and live on the sea for several years. During this period, he seemed to have killed many pirates. This was somewhat beyond Wood's own expectations.
"At the end of this simulation, you can choose the following rewards to receive them.
1. Results of physical training before leaving Hongye Island.
2. Relevant navigation knowledge after being at sea for several years.
3. The belongings on the ship before being buried in the sea.
4. A combat skill used during random battles with pirates.
Looking at the four options that popped up, Wood directly selected the fourth option after a brief hesitation.
The first option seems good, but in the next year, Wood can improve his physical fitness as long as he exercises step by step.
As for the second and third places, they are too useless for the current Wood.
Although navigation knowledge and treasures are good, after seeing the results of his simulated life, Wood obviously cannot choose to go to sea alone again, or in other words, he will never go to sea easily until his strength reaches the standard!
The fourth option is actually quite risky. If you choose the first option, it will directly save Wood a year of training time. If you choose the fourth option, no one knows whether he will get something worthless.
ability.
But even so, after weighing the gains and losses, Wood finally chose the fourth reward.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Wood believes that physical exercise can be done at any time, but the experience and skills of fighting with the enemy are more valuable.
As the saying goes, talking about war on paper will never be as good as real fighting on the field!
After turning 18, Wood has been able to defeat unknown small-scale pirate groups, which means he already has a certain level of strength.
Even if he could acquire some of his fighting skills at that time, it would definitely be much better than staying on the island and practicing hard by himself.
"Ding, congratulations on extracting a piece of swordsmanship experience."
Seeing the rewards popping up on the system interface, Wood showed an overjoyed expression, and a large amount of memories were directly instilled into Wood's head.
Before, Wood knew nothing about swords, but now if he had a sword in his hand, he felt that he could control it like an arm.
Wood in The Sims, before he was buried in the sea, had mastered the "iron-cutting" level swordsmanship that breathes all things, but now these things have all become Wood's things now.
"Iron-cutting" and "external slashing" are the two symbols of a swordsman. Although the 18-year-old Wood in The Sims cannot use external slashing yet, he has obviously reached the threshold of "swordsman"!
