The Fourth Chapter: The Turtle's East Sea Tour

  "Breathe the vastness, spit out the spiritual tide, naturally ebb and flow, either in the evening or at dawn." This phrase is most apt to describe the ocean. Along the way, I randomly killed monsters and arrived at the East Sea with a bountiful harvest. I found a small city, sold off the items in my luggage, and replenished my medicine. I bought a Rotating Turtle, the most commonly used mount for going out to sea to kill monsters, preparing to set off immediately. No matter how high your cultivation is, you can't guarantee that you can always fly without landing on the vast ocean. Therefore, this sea transportation tool must be prepared in advance, so it's convenient to rest at any time.

  In this seaside town's auction house, after buying a mount, I habitually browsed the auctions for magic artifacts and flying swords to see if there were any good deals. Now that more and more players are entering Shu Mountain, the total number of registered players has exceeded 300 million, and situations where people don't understand market prices and sell things randomly have become more frequent. There was even a case in Dali's auction house where a six-tier flying sword was sold for ten taels of gold. From then on, the number of players who would hang out in the auction house for no reason gradually increased. Even in this small town where I temporarily stopped by, which shouldn't have more than 2,000 players, there were around 70-80 people in the auction house.

  As I was flipping through, just as I was getting bored, I suddenly heard someone whispering behind me. "I heard that this time the Giant Ship Guild hired high-paying experts to join the adventure team for this task. However, unfortunately, only those above level 50 and with at least one spell skill above level 8 can join. I think their conditions are really too good, but unfortunately our skills aren't up to par..."

  "A master of the 50th level? A cultivation base above the 8th level in a single technique? I have all these, whether it's the Nameless Sword Dao or the Qingcheng Sword Technique, I've cultivated them to above the 8th level! If this Giant Ship Sect is willing to pay a high enough price, I don't mind selling my body and soul..."

  Thinking of this, I turned my head and took a look at those two players. Judging from my experience, it's likely that they are both newbies below level 30. Although the equipment on their bodies may not necessarily match their levels, most of the time it's still quite obvious.

  "Hmm! These two brothers... what's your surname? You're discussing the Giant Ship Gang, what task are you going to do? And it requires a high-level expert above level 40?"

  Seeing me make a gesture of humility and seeking advice, the two players each snapped their fingers, and the two IDs on their heads flashed with flames that went out in an instant.

  "Oh! So it's Xiaoxin 119, the fish in the bathtub. Two gentlemen!" Nowadays, newcomers all like this cool way of signing up, opening for just one second and hiding their ID, scattering light and then collecting it, which is quite dashing. Of course, if hundreds of people show off to you, the dashing will settle into foolishness...

  "The leader of the Giant Ship Guild, Bai Hongzi Dian, deputy leader Ming ℃, and the great hall master Zhao Yonggang, joined forces to build a guild on an unnamed island in the East Sea. Among them, the great hall master Zhao Yonggang is said to specialize in carpentry skills and has advanced to become a master craftsman who can build giant sea ships. Recently, the Giant Ship Guild has been hunting giant sea snakes above level 60 in order to build a giant sea ship that can dominate the East Sea, so they need a large number of helpers!"

  "Gigantic sea vessel? The kind that can be used as a battle fortress? I've only seen it in the promotional videos of Shu Mountain, and it's indeed majestic..."

  "That's right! It's that kind of thing! Hunting sea snakes to take their skeletons as the keel of a sea boat, not only is it extremely sturdy, but it also has a speed-enhancing effect. Now, the Giant Ship Guild has already built three 50-meter-long sea boats, with a top speed of over 100 kilometers, almost catching up with low-level flying swords. It's said that recently, the Giant Ship Guild obtained an ancient immortal's passed-down ship diagram, which records the construction method of the giant wooden divine boat, and can be used as a super-large-scale treasure..."

  When it comes to the exploits of the Giant Ship Gang, Xiaoxin 119 is as excited as the fish in the bathtub, talking non-stop. I made a detour and asked around to find out where the Giant Ship Gang was recruiting in this city, then bid farewell to these two guys who were not worthy of my attention, and went to look for the recruitment leader of the Giant Ship Gang.

  This time, the reward offered by the Giant Ship Guild is also attractive. The ancient immortal ship map they received should not only be a giant wooden divine ark shipbuilding technique. In the reward, they proposed to give away a Taizhen Qingling Ark to the high-handed helper who helped them. Although this small boat can only seat six people and is far inferior to the giant wooden divine ark that can hold hundreds of players, it has an extremely fast speed, not losing to the flying sword, and can be collected when not in use. It becomes a three-inch-sized agile small object. Moreover, some self-emitting defensive means can be installed on it to defend against enemies.

  Traveling with a few good friends on the sea, rivers and lakes, this is indeed a top-notch vehicle.

  This small town isn't very big, after getting lost three times, I was lucky to see that iron tower-like man who is over 1.9 meters tall, with the three big words "Wang Yabin!" on his forehead having the strongest effect, a four-meter square ID card matching his build, like a lighthouse attracting attention.

  "Master! Are you willing to join our Giant Boat Gang's hiking activity? ... Beautiful lady! Is your level 40 or above? I can take the liberty of lowering the recruitment conditions for you!"

  I coughed to get the attention of this big guy, he looked at me and smiled foolishly. Before I could even open my mouth, he casually tossed over a two-stage magic weapon, the Windmill. "Does the monk want to beg for alms? I don't have anything valuable on me, just this thing, take it as a gift, no need to be polite with me..."

  "I... I'm not being polite, I really don't want this! As a 57-level Tian Gui, it's too humiliating to ask for someone else's second-grade treasure!"

  After I stubbornly refused this kind offer, I finally understood the true meaning of "not talented". This guy heard that I wanted to join and shook his head, saying with a hint of regret: "This time we're going out to sea, although it's quite dangerous, but we don't need a monk to do rituals for us, you can just quit!"

  In the end, I got anxious too. With a grasp of five fingers, a ball of thunder fire formed in my palm. It seems that only by fighting can he understand that I am also a master.

  When he saw me with the intention of taking action, this iron tower Han suddenly came to his senses. With a wave of his big hand, he shouted: "Everyone around, get out of the way! I want to test the new ally's skills, don't get involved!"

  I went, it turned out this guy was teasing me for half a day, just to have a fight...

  PS: In about two hours, another chapter will be updated. There won't be any updates tomorrow during the day. The accelerated update conference will start at 12pm on Sunday...
