Chapter 45: Escape Report, Sea Soul
Looking at the mermaid in the control cabin eating obediently and fussily, Sariel was convinced and couldn't wait to order the fleet to return to the city at full speed.

At this moment, the ship's radar alerted: "Four suspected treasure-hunting ships were detected approaching from the southwest and southeast!"

Sariel asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

The captain was very calm: "When lions are hunting, hyenas will also wander around. These treasure hunting ships should come here to clean up some valuable fish meat. Sir, the value of this battle privilege consumes a lot, and the fishing boats will not be allowed to clean the battlefield to make up for it." Consumption?"

A prowling hyena?
The housekeeper reminded: "These treasure hunting ships are most likely intervening NPCs! They are waiting for us to make a sneak attack after the battle consumes a lot of money. We do not rule out the possibility of hiding a very powerful person!"

Sariel's heart tightened and he decisively replied to the captain: "No more cleaning, the lion will not chase the cunning rabbit, and we will return to the city at full speed!"

The fleet moved quickly, and the closer it got to Silver Harbor, the more ships were monitored on the radar, and the Sariel grass and trees all had their hearts in their throats.

Until Silver City's second fleet appeared to respond, both sides sounded the whistle of victory to inform each other.

At this point, Sariel finally relaxed: "There is no intervening NPC! Is this whale an intervening NPC?"

The steward said: "It is also possible that the whale's surrender made the intervening NPC realize the strength gap between the two sides and gave up the intervention."

Sariel smiled: "If this is really the case you said, how should I thank this god-headed boy?"

The butler smiled and said: "Of course, we must raise this god-level whale well and make full use of its value by serving you."

As soon as she talked about raising pearls, Sariel's head immediately got big. She casually asked for 100 pearls for a meal... Is this the extravagant side effect of a generous character?
But it doesn't matter. Catching this mermaid means completing the customized SSS-level wanted mission beyond the standard, and some of the privileges will be restored. If the mermaid is sent to the aquarium for exhibition, the ticket revenue will make up for it. But the most urgent thing is to borrow it from friends...

Sariel could only say hello to the group: "Dear angels, fallen angels——"

Gabriel said coldly: "I'm sorry, I just received a big gift package, and the privilege value has been consumed a lot."

Raphael smiled and said, "Me too."

Uriel: "I led the monster siege group in Lost Paradise, but I can't come to Silver City."

Sariel was anxious: "I haven't said anything yet!!"

Metatron: "Why don't Sariel celebrate after getting the most powerful gift package?"

Sariel had no choice but to silently throw out a 100 million red envelope: "Everyone——"

Raphael laughed: "21! I have the best luck!"

Michael sighed: "13 is not quite the number of Gilead!"

Everyone laughed: "Luck is still not that good..."

Finally, after ten million-dollar red envelopes were distributed and the whole group was jubilant, Michael was still not satisfied: "Sariye, it's okay for us to use our privileges to help you get a few boxes of pearls, but it's difficult to support them for a long time. We'll give them to you when you settle down." Go to the Sea of ​​Creation and let her fight and grow there to support herself.”

Sariel was shocked: "That's obviously the Shit Mountain database! It's all random numerical monsters!"

Michael concluded: "When God created all things, was it not random? Remember, our goal is to give birth to real intelligence, even if it is born randomly."

Sariel could only say: "I still have a holiday mission that triggers a big celebration. I need your help to send out an invitation and invite the star flowers from the five major cities to the Silver City Pier to restore the privilege value of my platform..."

Raphael asked with a smile: "There are many professional players in Silver City. Aren't you afraid that this festival will spawn a group of powerful guys?"

Sariel chuckled: "I'm very scared. I'm afraid that they will break their heads!"

Everyone laughed.

……

April 4, 3:0 in the morning.

Dachun, who had slept for three hours, was awakened by Ailian: "We have arrived at the dock of Silver Glory City."

Oh?
There was no time to check the colorful flags and gongs and drums at the pier. The first thing I did in spring was to check the rankings. My ranking dropped from 1 last night to 6. Very good, it is worthy of soul stripping after opening a trumpet. This ranking drop is stable, and there are reasonable explanations, such as being infected by the plague will reduce attributes, being exiled will reduce reputation, etc.

Elaine was surprised: "Favna is here! All the star flowers from the five cities are here."

Sure enough, Dachun saw the five beauties on the pier's ceremony stage dressed up, tall, short, skinny, and five beautiful flowers competing for beauty! However, during the open beta, they frequently appeared on the walls and newspapers, so they didn't notice them at all.

Very good, what we want is for Favna to know that the whale has been caught, but she has come to see it in person. How must she feel?

Then the audience burst into applause, and Sariel, the legendary second man in the world, calmly disembarked from the ship, with a sparkling artifact-level "Sword of Privilege" floating beside him.

Dachun knew that although he had gained a lot of vitality through exhaustion in the past two days, it was only a matter of one blow in front of him.

Then Sariel politely kissed the backs of the hands of the five ladies - especially at the moment when he kissed Valrhona's hand, Dachun was filled with jealousy for no reason! The greatest tragedy in life is that one's ultimate goal is something that is within easy reach of others... Fortunately, she is wearing gloves.

The whole city fired a salute!

——Silver Glory City Announcement: Player Sariel has successfully completed the regional task of pacifying the Silver Channel and launched a festival celebration. The celebration will last for one day. All residents and players in the city will receive festive blessings and their consumption recovery will be increased.

At the same time, Dachun also received a reminder:
——System prompt: Congratulations! You get the Silver City holiday blessing effect for one day.

Damn it, do I still have to thank you?

At that moment, players from all over the world cheered and praised the city's channels. Sariel, standing on the podium, raised his hands high to welcome this well-deserved praise. But just then—a system announcement: Wanted! Treasure hunters report that the plague exile Dachun has escaped.

Dachunye's eyes flashed red - the system prompted: Warning! You have encountered a crisis and are about to forcefully end the state of soul dissociation and wake up. Your escape is publicly reported, and your reputation is reduced by 3.

Damn it? Will my boat be discovered?
At this moment, the players burst into laughter at the ceremonial scene that was just full of joy. Dachun clearly saw that Favna's expression was obviously unnatural. Dachun felt how disappointed she must be?
Ailian said in a deep voice: "Get ready, it's like waking up from a nightmare."

At this moment, the mermaid's voice came: "Is the warrior leaving?"

Dachun panicked: "Sir, this is a forced departure."

The mermaid said: "I have recovered a lot of strength now. I wish you a good journey and take away these four sea souls. They will give you strength..."

As he spoke, the tuna souls, shark souls, sea king crab souls, and giant ray souls in the sea of ​​whale souls rose up and surrounded Dachun, and then the scene suddenly advanced thousands of miles in an instant...

——System prompt: You have been blessed by the strengthening of the mermaid. The "Sea Clan Guard" skill can use the power of the four sea souls to strengthen yourself or strengthen the ship. Using the sea soul will consume physical strength or mana. It can also temporarily control an intelligent marine creature to fight for you. The success rate is related to the strength comparison between the two parties. It can only be controlled once a day.

Soul of Tuna: Improves swimming ability, increases swimming or sailing speed, and gains the power boost of the Wind Tide Barrier.

Soul of Megalodon: Improves swimming ability, swimming or sailing flexibility, water combat attack power is increased and gains tearing and bleeding effects.

Sea King Crab Soul: Improves swimming and water combat abilities, increases defense and blocking, and grants a deflection barrier to deflect enemy attacks. Significantly increases ship collision damage and grants a kill effect.

Soul of the Giant Electric Ray: Improves spellcasting ability while swimming and allows you to cast an electric barrier, paralyzing enemies that enter. Also provides some resistance to electric spells.

……

Wow, this is so advanced, this sea clan guard might have divine skills, right?

Dachun suddenly opened his eyes!

The sky and the sea were still blurry in front of my eyes.

System prompt: You gain the bonus attribute of a special tapioca liquor, temporarily increasing your maximum stamina by 168%, increasing stamina recovery speed, and providing resistance to fear, tremors, and cold. Negative effects include blurred vision and unsteady movement. Approximate duration: 1 day.

——System prompt: You have obtained the blessing effect of the Silver City and restored your luck.

Holy crap! The Centennial Wine bonus is so strong, it instantly makes up for the damage caused by the plague!

Ailian was instantly alert: "Activate the sonic radar!"

Dachun re-entered infrared mode, finally able to "see" his surroundings without being affected. It was a... pirate ship? No, the notice said it was a treasure-hunting ship! But in reality, there was no difference. If there was treasure, they would hunt for it; if there was nothing, they would rob.

The next moment, a string of objects appeared on the radar, flying towards them at high speed!

Ailian hurriedly took over the body: "Get out of here!"

—Knock, knock, knock! Suddenly, several crossbow arrows were stuck in the deck.

——System prompt: Congratulations! With your exceptional wisdom and good fortune, you have successfully enhanced the effectiveness of your sonic radar, gaining the ability to alert the radar and passively parry and dodge ranged attacks.

Holy crap! This Lucky Blessing is really useful! Isn't this the same skill the Bat Boss used to dodge the rocks?

But this is not the point. The point is that such a big ship is enough to shoot the small boat into a hedgehog, leaving nowhere to hide!

Elen said, "Use the sea soul the mermaid gave you to strengthen the boat!"

——System prompt: You have infused the soul of the tuna, the soul of the megalodon, and the soul of the sea king crab into the boat, and the boat has been strengthened by the sea soul!

The boat turned around on the spot, the wind and waves surged, and it suddenly started to speed like a motorboat!
Dachun's physical strength, which he had replenished by drinking, was almost gone in an instant!

Is it so energy-consuming? Dachun immediately took out the five bottles of energy potions he had left from the battle in the sewers and drank one to quickly refill it.

At the same time, this rush also quickly widened the distance from the pirate ship. The crossbow arrows probably couldn't reach them, so the other side immediately opened fire!
Dachun stared at the radar. Several green bullets were marked on the radar, clearly safe targets, but one red bullet was extremely threatening. The boat was extremely agile and twisted violently! Perhaps also due to the deflection effect of the king crab, the bullet deflected unnaturally!
The waves surged into the sky, and it was a close call to dodge them!

At this point, the small boat further widened the distance from the enemy's gun position, and the enemy's large ship began to slowly turn around and chase.

Dachun is so anxious. I only have a small boat and there's plague. Is it really that serious? Unless this treasure hunting ship finds that I have magic gold on me?
Ailian said, "We have no choice but to row back to Plague Island. They definitely won't dare to go there."

Even with the Silver Blessing, Dachun was still unsure: "Will my stamina be enough?"

"You can shut down the other Sea Souls and adjust the use of the Tuna Sea Soul. I was using the Tuna Sea Soul at full speed just now, but now I can lower it."

This is the only way. As long as the boat does not make big movements such as sharp turns, it should be able to withstand it.

Fortunately, my boating proficiency has skyrocketed, and what was supposed to happen has arrived—System prompt: Congratulations! You have received the blessing and good fortune of the Tuna Sea Soul, and your basic boating skills have been upgraded to Level 4. You have received achievement rewards: Carrying capacity +1, Stamina +1. You have also received an additional achievement reward: Health +1.

So that’s how it is, this Sea Soul can also help me level up!
After witnessing the power of the Sea Soul, Dachun was also shocked by the mermaid's generosity! He hadn't completed any tasks, so under normal circumstances, there was no way he could have received such a reward. So this was the gift package that the second person had left for him? If he hadn't intercepted it, this second person would have been able to ascend to the sea like a dragon!

The thought of another big shot, the world's top boss, and the incident taking place right here in the Silver Sea, made Dachun's scalp tingle and his heartbeat quicken. Will they find out about me? This is so suspicious, they have to find me! But there's no evidence? But does this even require evidence? Suspicion alone is the same as conviction.

Perhaps the only way is to act more stupidly to divert the other party's attention! For example, this so-called escape is actually very stupid from the outside, right?

Dachun thought of Fafner's disappointed expression and felt a bit hurt. But it was actually a good thing. If he wanted to hide it from everyone else, he had to hide it from his own people first, lest he be exposed by high-level players...
