When we arrived at the dock, several players had already arrived. When they saw Yun Xiaohan coming, they all gathered around and asked him to take him to see the good ship he mentioned earlier.
Yun Xiaohan took them to the "Vestellos", and everyone was dumbfounded when they saw the ship.
"How many people can this boat carry?"
"40 people."
"I remember that the shipyard seems to sell a ship similar to this one for 15 gold, but it seems to be different in some places." These players are all naval professional players. They are more concerned about ships and have more knowledge about them. If it were a different soldier.
Or players from the mage profession will most likely not be able to figure out the situation.
"Why didn't I see that the most expensive ship in Anhe Shipyard now costs about 90 silver?"
"Stupid, who said it was Anhe Shipyard? Anhe Shipyard has just resumed production and cannot build such high-end ships. I am talking about Xueman Shipyard. The most expensive ship there is about the same size and shape as this ship.
, but the boats sold by Xueman Shipyard don’t seem to have the slurry discharge below, but they seem to have more gun positions.”
"Hey, now that you tell me, I realized that this ship also has magic cannons. I counted 10 of them. Which of you has learned gunnery skills?"
"No, the boats I can afford now don't have cannons, so how can I think of learning this?"
"You were just a pirate leader with added hand-to-hand combat, but it's different when you become a naval officer. Among the basic professional skills are artillery enhancement skills, which have a 10% enhancement for long-range combat, including artillery combat and shooting.
Even if you don’t go out of your way to learn gunnery skills, there will be certain bonuses.”
"Yun Xiaohan, can you tell me the data about this ship?"
"Durability 135, fully loaded crew of 40 people, necessary crew of 15 people, 10 lowest-level magic cannons, storage space 200. Sail speed 115, beam speed 25, rowing speed 85."
"This data is so high. The ship's speed is much higher than the most expensive ship sold by Xueman Shipyard. Is this a modified ship? Except for the fact that it has 5 fewer guns, it is stronger in other aspects."
"I don't know either. The plot is very complete. The NPC lent it to me and I have to return it to the NPC after the plot battle."
"I'm envious. With this ship, you can earn a lot of achievements. With 40 players, you can share a small amount of achievements with 39 players. The speed is so fast, you can definitely be the first to land safely."
"Maybe he can sink one or two enemy ships."
"That probably won't work. The enemy will definitely have at least one fleet when they come. How can Yun Xiaohan attack one ship, and no one else can help. We don't have cannons on the ship at all, so we can only engage in boarding battles."
"Haha, that's not certain. Maybe an enemy ship chased us and dispersed, and then Yun Xiaohan had a chance. If there are players who have learned gunnery skills, they can come to his ship to be a gunner.
"
"Hey, I won't do such a stupid thing. It's completely impossible. I'll just transport people honestly. I'll make sure I can get some results first."
After waiting for half an hour, about 250 people came, but less than 1/3 of them were professional naval players. The rest came to join in the fun.
After seeing Yun Xiaohan's ship, many people wanted to board his ship to have a look. Yun Xiaohan couldn't refuse, so he accepted some players on the ship for a visit, but told them that his position on the ship had basically been decided.
, let them find a cooperative ship while they are visiting the spot.
Because the other ships were not as fast as Yun Xiaohan's ship, Yun Xiaohan had to slow down the ship to take them away, but the 20% increase in ship speed and accelerated steering effects of Yun Xiaohan's "Poseidon's Blessing" were not shown.
.
It took 15 minutes to arrive at the landing point. Everyone marked the landing point on the small map. Yun Xiaohan also repeatedly warned not to tell anyone, although the possibility of being matched with the opponent to know the location was extremely small.
But if you can reduce the risk, you can reduce the risk.
Most of the ships bought by naval players are "exploration balsa sailboats" or "commercial balsa sailboats", which are enhanced versions of ordinary balsa wooden sailboats. The former is faster, while the latter has a larger cabin and can carry more cargo.
, it has more advantages when running business, it can carry 9 people, and it sells for 30 silver at the Anhe Shipyard.
However, it is much cheaper to buy with commercial currency. If you exchange it with merchant players for commercial currency, it will be even less. Moreover, military players can also run businesses part-time themselves. In addition, they can get a 5% discount through the Dark River dungeon twice, which is quite a lot.
You only need to spend 9 silver to buy it, which is less than one-third.
But there are a few richer naval players who use a 69-silver single-masted small ship. After discount, it costs 22 silver to buy it. And most of the players who use this ship are the first to arrive at the landing site in this visit.
It has naturally gained a lot of popularity, and many other professional players hope to board their ship during the campaign.
The speed of the small sloop is faster than that of the balsa sailboat used for exploration, and the cabin is larger, but there is no improvement in the number of people it can carry. It can only carry one more person, and the maximum number of people it can carry is 10.
If there is anything that the two classes of ships have in common, it is that they have no gun emplacements and cannot be equipped with any magic cannons.
At this time, Yun Xiaohan suddenly realized that he still lacked sufficient understanding of naval professional players. Unexpectedly, they had all changed to higher-end ships, and the number of people on board had increased a lot. In this way, there were a lot of naval players to choose from.
200 were enough, but in the end he chose 300. It seemed that there would definitely be no ships left to transport them.
But it would be nice to have more competition. Let them not look at the terrain. Survival of the fittest is very reasonable. Besides, it is possible that some naval players have not bought a ship at all. It is not a bad thing to be prepared.
Returning to Xueman City Pier, Yun Xiaohan went offline to rest.
It went online at 19:30, and waited at the dock until 20:00 in the evening. Yun Xiaohan led the way again. This time more people came, but there were still only nearly 100 naval professional players. More
They were other professional combat players who got the news during the last guiding event and came to join in the fun and seek cooperation partners.
In other words, there are at least 140 naval professional players who did not take Yun Xiaohan's words seriously, accounting for almost 40%. Many people have already found ships. It is estimated that when the battle officially begins, these players
It will be difficult to find enough people to transport the navy players who do not come.
But this has nothing to do with Yun Xiaohan. He has already said ugly things before, and they themselves are unwilling to make this extra trip, so it is their own fault to suffer some losses for this.
After finishing this time, Yun Xiaohan went offline again and slept for a while, but he only slept for 2 hours and got up at 22:30 because he wanted to see the results of the three battles and inquire about related information.
intelligence.
Although the official time was 20:00 to 23:00, Yun Xiaohan was worried that the battle would end early, so he went online half an hour early.
