As Raymond now continues to understand the extraordinary top realm, he understands more and more the importance of chi to combat effectiveness.
The more powerful a "trick" is, the more energy it consumes.
For example, his three-level arcane skill [Fudo Yama] consumes 100,000 infuriating energy per second, which is terrifying. But this skill is also similar to "groundless defense", which can be immune to all controls and reduce damage by 99%.
If he really had enough energy to be active for three days and three nights, Raymond would feel that he could swim anywhere in the huge endless sea.
Furthermore, once you encounter a well-matched opponent, the fight will take a long time. At this time, your energy is particularly important. Whoever can last until the end will survive.
That's why Raymond was so obsessed with the "X virus".
Unfortunately, as Lulu said, that kind of virus doesn't seem to be able to withstand the violent energy that the human body can bear. The biochemical monster created by the World Headquarters integrated so many World of Warcraft organs. In addition to wanting to have all kinds of weird abilities, in fact Just to let the "stitch monster" withstand that kind of power.
Raymond can't sew himself up into a monster in order to become stronger.
Fortunately, there is now a glimmer of hope.
Vampires, the most integrated bloodline in the world, may be able to withstand this violent "X-virus".
...
When Raymond was thinking about the "Ship of Theseus" and wanted to get enough of the second-generation vampire blood, a concerned greeting came from behind him.
"What are you thinking about?"
In a blink of an eye, a smiling Anna walked over.
"I was thinking about the Ship of Theseus..."
Raymond told Anna about his sudden idea and asked this professional navigator to help him think about the feasibility.
"When I was in the Black Sea, I saw the 'Ghost Fleet' of the Pirate King Delos...and Colin at the time. I was very confused. Although that fleet was shabby, it was a real steam iron ship. Moreover, Colin's [Hextech Heart] was still found there... But after they appeared on the sea, they disappeared soon as if they had slipped into a crack in time and space..."
Anna blinked. It was obvious that women and men had different concerns. She asked, "Is it the 'Hux Vulture' when you and Irene first met?"
"Um."
Raymond nodded, not understanding the meaning of the smile in her eyes, and said: "So, I guess that the route of this 'ghost fleet' is not in this plane, but in various planes." A shuttle trip between!”
He is no longer the ignorant little boy he used to be.
In this great maritime world where "gods" once existed, the concept of "plane" has a very real existence.
Moreover, only this explanation can make sense, where did the "Ghost Fleet" go?
"oh."
Anna nodded noncommittally.
"Anna, didn't you guess before that the mysterious route on the 'Ship of Theseus' design we obtained is most likely the route map used by that divine ship in ancient mythology?"
At this time, Raymond continued his analysis and said: "The 'Ship of Theseus' once appeared in this world, but it disappeared again. It is very likely that its route is not just this. It is a world, but a magical ship that travels through many planes. Later, I thought about the vision of the "ghost fleet", and thought... is there any connection between the two? For example, they are actually in the same place Sailing on a route?”
Anna looked a little weird and asked: "So, you plan to use the time and coordinates of the 'Ghost Fleet' to calculate the next time the 'Ship of Theseus' sails to this plane? And then you want to try if you can
Find the opportunity for Senior Enzo to obtain the 'second generation bloodline'?"
"Um!"
Raymond nodded and asked slightly expectantly: "Anna, do you think my idea is feasible?"
Hearing this, Anna did not answer directly, but asked: "Captain, do you feel..."
Raymond looked at Anna who was hesitant to speak and asked, "What do you think?"
Anna looked at him with deep affection and worry in her eyes: "Do you feel that after you met Irene, your practice became a little too eager?"
After a pause, she continued: "Everyone can feel that you are eager to become stronger. But many times, haste makes waste. You have already advanced very quickly, so there is no need to push yourself too hard...
"
"this..."
Upon hearing this, Raymond suddenly calmed down.
What Anna said is indeed correct.
After the first battle with Erin, he really wanted to become stronger.
Because his soul cultivation level has reached, he really has a kind of "precognition" ability, as if something big will happen in the near future.
Because of his appearance, the development process of world history has obviously accelerated too much, and it has also extended in unpredictable directions.
According to the historical trajectory in the original game, the current world structure will not change much in another ten or eight years.
There are only "Seven Endless Emperors" in the game, but now there is a reappearance of the "Blood Emperor" Capone.
The [Elephant King] group in the game has not been disbanded. It is still one of the overlords of the Endless Sea. Even Ilya has never appeared...
In the game, [Knife King] Iben, one of the three generals of the Navy headquarters, has never been killed. The conspiracy of the country of giants is still lurking, and the war has not yet started...
Invisibly, because of Raymond's involvement, the original development trajectory of the world structure became turbulent.
"Actually... I have guessed this possibility a long time ago, and I have carefully calculated and deduced the possibility you mentioned!"
At this time, Anna spoke again: "Furthermore, I have determined that the 'Ship of Theseus' and the 'Ghost Fleet' are 90% likely to be traveling along the same route... Although I don't know why they are traveling this way.
I don’t know where they end up.”
She changed the topic, looked at Raymond with stern eyes, and said with a serious face: "However, Senior Enzo once said that the ship is full of mystery and unknown, and may also be fatally dangerous. If I tell you
In fact, I have calculated the precise time and place when the ship of 'Theseus' will next come to the Great Navigation Plane. Do you...really want to go?"
"Ah? So you're worried about this..."
After hearing this, Raymond realized that some of his actions had caused misunderstanding and trouble to Anna.
Risking yourself?
How could he possibly do such a thing to someone?
After listening to what Anna said, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I will never take any risks unless absolutely necessary. There are many ways to become stronger, so why should I have to risk my own life.
As for the 'Ship of Theseus', it's more of a curiosity..."
This is true. An unimaginably huge ship has been sailing from ancient mythology to today countless years later. It has not yet reached the end...
Everyone will be curious, what is the significance of the existence of this ship, and why does it never decay? If there are really "living creatures" on the ship, could it be that they survived the mythical period?
Puzzle solving and sailing are always the greatest charms of the nautical world.
Raymond is no exception.
Anna looked at the playful smile and knew that Raymond's words were true.
She breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "It's okay if you don't have any ideas. I'm just afraid that you will become possessed by cultivation..."
Raymond looked at the impeccable pretty face in front of him, reached out and stroked her fiery red hair kissingly, and asked playfully: "Teacher Anna, are you caring about your dear captain?"
"Hmph~"
Anna snorted proudly and rolled her eyes at him.
She leaned obediently in Raymond's arms, lazily like a kitten, sometimes docile, sometimes fiery and wild.
She thought about it and then said: "Raymon, I found that your personality changed a lot after you went to Hippocrates City..."
Raymond raised his eyebrows: "What changed?"
Ana raised her eyebrows and thought for a moment, "Well, she has become overbearing."
Raymond seemed to have thought of some charming scene, with a wicked smile on his face: "Overbearing? Which aspect are you referring to?"
Anna showed no sign of weakness, and said with charming eyes: "Hey... when you stepped out of the wall the other day, I didn't see you speaking so confidently. Why, my dear captain, now you want to show your 'dominance'
Is it done?”
"..."
The skin-to-skin contact was so gentle that Raymond's mouth went dry for a while.
He was not polite and started to use his hands without shame...
Manually delete 3,000 words here.
After a long time and some tenderness.
Anna suddenly asked: "By the way, my dear Captain, do you still remember the agreement you made with Sister Helen?"
Raymond was a little confused: "Promise?"
"Yes! Didn't you want to invite Sister Helen on board the ship to adventure with us? She said she would come when you get a billion bounty..."
"Oh, you're talking about this."
"Have you forgotten? Sister Helen made an agreement before to satisfy your evil habit of ravaging the Shichibukai. Now that you have had that girl Ilya, you have forgotten about Sister Helen? Huh... scumbag!"
"I don't have this bad habit of 'ravaging the Shichibukai'..."
"No? Then you just kept calling me 'Teacher Anna'... and said you don't have any special vices? Oops, do you want me to make a few sets of staff skirts from former Philip Academy teachers next time and show them to you?
?That skirt is hip-length, super short and super sexy..."
"Well..."
Raymond was just about to deny that he had some bad habits in uniforms, but suddenly he thought of Anna's shy look wearing a teacher's uniform. His mind moved and he thought: "It seems good, how about giving it a try?"
Looking at his piggy behavior, Anna put her hands on her hips with an arrogant look and cursed: "Huh! You dare to say you don't want to? What Ilya said is right, you are just a big pig's hooves!"
"..."
Although Raymond was deflated, his lower abdomen became faintly hot, and his hands and feet began to become unreliable.
"Hey, hey, hey...please calm down for a while, okay?"
Anna said she refused, but she had no choice but to let Raymond do whatever he wanted.
At this time, her crystal eyes turned slyly, and she said: "Oh, dear Captain... Actually, I asked you a question not long ago, but Sister Helen didn't respond to me directly. She just hinted that... you, the captain,
The adults didn’t even call to invite me, maybe they didn’t remember the old friend’s promise..."
"Ah, then I'll give her a call?"
Raymond felt that it would be a great guarantee for a master like Helen to join the "Ghost Group".
Beautiful and delicious, strong...
Raymond felt that his personality had indeed become much more domineering since he had an affair in the elven secret realm (Ilya had no impression the first time, not counting).
Whatever you like is mine!
"whee..."
Anna looked at Raymond's serious look as he was about to take out his phone, and then had a weird smile on his face.
She changed the subject: "I lied to you! Sister Helen has actually agreed. She said she would come to us when the clan affairs are settled."
"Ah? What did you tell her?"
Raymond was slightly surprised.
How could such a great master be hired so easily?
"Just tell it like it is..."
Anna shrugged, with an innocent expression on her face.
The slyness in her eyes betrayed the bad idea in her heart, and she said faintly: "I told her some secrets in the boudoir about you, the Elf Queen, and Ilya hanging out, and then... while she was talking, she said
coming soon."
Raymond: "..."
Anna: "Hehe... My dear Captain, have you figured out how to get along with Sister Helen? How about I help you create opportunities?"
"..."
...
For dinner, we had the deep-sea giant monster "Cancer King".
This crab, which was bigger than the "Golden Ghost", was indeed caught by Sha Mao and the others.
The deep-sea monsters are the overlords of the ocean. They are not like the sea kings who rely on instinct to hunt. They already have high intelligence. It is really like fishing, if you drop the bait and hook, those big guys will still look like
Look at anglers like idiots.
So, Fat Cat came up with his unique "fishing bait".
His secret bait is none other than a white-haired monkey—Jiji!
Jiji, a foodie, has a sharp mouth, she also likes to show off her words, and her ability to draw hatred is stellar.
It now has a new mission, which is to dive into the sea to lure the deep-sea monster.
Although crabs and monkeys do not speak the same language, Jiji's vivid body expression art, as well as his skillful "middle finger" and "crotch shrug" taunting movements, successfully performed cross-racial hatred techniques.
Incisively and vividly.
Jiji is also the biggest contributor to everyone in the "Ghost Group" being able to enjoy the crab feast.
As night falls, the Milky Way in the night sky is reflected on the sea, and the "Golden Ghost" seems to be swimming in the brilliant starry sky.
In the restaurant, a large table was set for a crab feast.
Sha Mao used his superb cooking skills to cook this huge kraken into dozens of delicious dishes.
At the table, Raymond, Sha Mao, Sol, Jiji...the four guys were swollen and eating and drinking.
Fortunately, we encountered a "deep sea monster" that had just grown up, so the friends were able to escape with their tails between their legs without being beaten.
The fishing was successful, but he was beaten badly.
[Ding! You took ‘Cancer Crab Semen Leg Meat’ and your constitution is 3...]
[Ding! You took ‘Steamed King Cancer Crab Roe’ and your constitution is 4...]
[Ding! You took ‘Boiled Crab Claws’, power 5...]
【Ding!...】
The attributes of the dishes made by the "Deep Sea Monster" are more than ten times that of the ordinary Neptune type...
Although his whole body ached and he looked miserable, Raymond listened to the system prompts and ate happily.
Several people wolfed down the food, and the large table of dishes was quickly consumed.
Now my friends are advancing quickly, their bodies need to replenish a lot of energy every day, and their appetites are getting bigger and bigger.
Such a large sea monster can only feed two meals in the "ghost group".
The friends had a great time eating and did not forget to gossip about their own captain.
Thor chewed something in his mouth and spoke angrily: "Captain, why is your battle performance today so much worse than before... If you had given full play, we wouldn't have been beaten so badly if we wanted to eat crabs.
..”
Thinking back on today's battle, the one who got beaten the worst was him, who was being used as a human shield.
Of course, there is also a certain monkey that draws hatred from the loser.
Jiji: "Zhizhizhi..." (That's right! That's right! There are always unscrupulous people who want to trick King Jiji...)
Colin: "Oh, Captain... I saw you holding the wall when you came out of the cabin a few days ago. Could it be that you are sick?"
Nick on the side pursed his lips and smiled but said nothing.
The fat cat had swollen panda eyes and said flatteringly: "Captain, come and try this [Deep Sea Dragon Sashimi], specially made for you..."
Anna, a bold and eldest sister, didn't care at all, with a smile on her face.
"..."
The friends winked and made crazy hints, but Raymond always looked as normal and ate even more happily.
Ever since the last time he and Queen Isa were laughed at in the Elf Secret Realm without being ashamed, this guy seemed to have completely let himself go.
To stop these guys from continuing to gossip, Raymond knew that he couldn't just beep.
He opened his mouth, but he couldn't stop talking about these gossips.
Then he decisively turned on the swallowing mode, frantically grabbing food on the table, and shouted arrogantly: "If you don't eat, then I won't be polite..."
Everyone was shocked: "Hey! Captain, why are you eating the meat on my plate... I'm still growing, woo hoo hoo..."
"Hahaha..."
The atmosphere on board the "Golden Ghost" was joyful, with everyone laughing and joking.
.......
In this way, the "ghost group" continued to sail on the sea.
The supplies stored on the ship are enough for them to stay at sea for a long time, and they don't have to deliberately find human territories to land for supplies and cause trouble.
Raymond and his friends practiced like this every day, beating "deep sea monsters" for food, and their days passed quickly.
Originally, according to Raymond's plan, he would never go out and wander around again until he could reach the master level of Sequence 0.
After all, his current high bounty can scare away most people who want to trick him. But once he encounters a real enemy, he will definitely be a top-level extraordinary person in the "Shichibukai" level...
Raymond wanted to stay home until he was "invincible" before going out, but the reality was that he was helpless.
Because the newspaper on this day set off a turbulent situation in the entire maritime world, and no one could avoid it.
The headline of Le Monde is as follows:
The great descendant of the "Twelve Sages", Lord Hagers Bartle, led a large number of navy masters to raid the rebel headquarters and completely wipe out this reactionary organization...
The "rebels" in the newspapers are the "revolutionary army".
When Raymond first looked at the content in the newspaper, he thought it was fake news.
After all, the words "thoroughly" and "annihilation" mean that the "revolutionary army" has been completely wiped out!
But...how is that possible?
Judging from the current strength revealed by the "Revolutionary Army", this is also a super force hiding in the dark.
In terms of strength, it is even more of a headache for the World Headquarters than the "Eight Endless Emperors" combined.
But such a huge creature was actually eaten by someone. Who would dare to believe it?
But Raymond realized the seriousness of the situation.
Because this time the raid on the Revolutionary Army headquarters was not carried out by the navy or the masters of the World Headquarters, but by the demigod-level masters of the "Twelve Sages" who directly airborne the attack!
Those "big men" who were above the world and never cared about ordinary things actually went out to wipe out the revolutionary army themselves?
In the end what happened?
When he saw the news, Raymond knew that the world was about to change...
