(New book uploaded for 10 days without a single vote, and at the time of Da Fei's great joy after leaving the island, asking for votes and recommendations)
Brother is back? Da Fei felt as if he had returned from another age. Yeah, back, but it's a pity that my Anemone Nest will forever stay in the World of the Dead, which could have been sold for tens of thousands. It's better to look forward to the future.
——System Prompt: You have completed the trial task "Assist Captain in Combat", and gained Experience +20,000.
——System Prompt: Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 15, gained 1 free attribute point, gained 1 skill point, Health +2, Command Power +1, and received a reward of Basic Damage +1.
——System Prompt: You have obtained a B-grade strategic treasure, Captain's Sword.
——Captain's Sword: B-grade strategic treasure, mission item, Attack +1, Defense +1, Damage +1, Attack Speed +1. The effects of this sword are doubled at sea.
——System Prompt: You have obtained the ownership certificate for a large high-speed sailboat.
Looking at the flood of system information on the screen, Da Fei burst into laughter!
Strategic treasure, the reward from the mission turned out to be a B-grade strategic treasure! Unlike ordinary personal equipment, a strategic treasure can enhance the entire troop, and its equipment slot does not conflict with ordinary equipment. Therefore, even though Da Fei is a gunner and cannot use a longsword, it does not affect its usage.
The easiest to appear on the market, and also the most expensively traded treasure, is the C-grade strategic treasure "Blood Claw Necklace", with only one attribute: troop damage +1! Yes, the same effect as the sub-skill of Attack Skill, "War Maniac", damage +1. And players know what +1 damage means for low-level soldiers with only one to four points of basic damage? It often means the killing effects that can only be achieved by a hero leveling up more than 10 levels to enhance their attack by more than 10 points.
This Captain's Sword, needing only +1 damage property is already a C-grade treasure, and doubling the attribute at sea makes it +2 damage! Absolutely shocking! If it weren't limited to use at sea, it would definitely be A-grade! As for the other attributes, they are just a bonus. Great sword! Absolutely a godly weapon for low-level soldiers!
This night of hard work was really worth it, and Da Fei satisfyingly equipped the longsword. Then, he excitedly checked his attributes.

.......
Looking at his attributes, Da Fei felt both accomplished and a bit empty. After all, he was accustomed to the thrill of leading a powerful hero and killing level 4 soldiers with one shot. Now, he's back to square one, which was somewhat uncomfortable.
Hold on! This is the sinister intention of the game company! This is making players experience the benefits of the Heroic Legion, knowing the benefits of advanced heroes firsthand and making them spend money for life after tasting the marrow! Damn it! Brother is here to make money, not to lose money. Brother won't fall for your game company's tricks!
Now, it's time to check his own ship.
——Ownership certificate for a large high-speed sailboat (mission reward, bound, cannot be traded with other players):
Original name: Saint Anthony (name changeable)
Captain: Da Fei
Boat Specifications: Large four-masted, three-deck high-speed sailboat. (Note: High-speed sailboat, also known as a clipper or tea transport ship, has a narrow and beautiful hull with small cargo capacity, but possesses excellent windward sailing capabilities, speed far surpassing the mainstream Galen sailboats. As for why sailboats can sail windward, this involves very profound aerodynamics, those interested can ask a physical education teacher.)
Special Skill of the Ship: Divine's Blessing (Crew's Luck +2)
Ship cargo capacity: 1000 units
Minimum sailor capacity: 30 people (below the minimum number of sailors, the ship cannot perform normally)
Ship Durability: 2357/3754
Ship usage time: 10 years
Ship armor defense: 80
Ship speed: 10 (Note: To be consistent with the speed settings of troops in the game, the speed of the ship is not measured in "knots". 10 indicates the maximum speed is 10 meters per second. In the age of navigation, due to different models, the maximum speed of sailing ships ranged from 10 knots to 20 knots, 1 knot = 1.8 kilometers/hour. 20 knots is a speed of 10 meters per second, and a hero's sailing skill can further increase the ship's speed.)
Sea God Insurance Level: 0 (Note: Ships are valuable property of players, and if sunk, players will suffer heavy losses. Therefore, the game sets insurance levels, meaning in big cities with Sea God temples, a substantial insurance can be made to the Sea God, and if the ship is sunk, the divine power of the Sea God can instantly transport the ship back to the port it departed from, but all goods and sailors will be lost, and the ship's durability limit will be reduced. It's akin to resurrecting the ship. Insurance Level 1 can resurrect once, Level 2 can resurrect twice, and so on.)
Current status of the ship: Hull damaged, unable to sail, afflicted by the Curse of Misfortune (Sailors' Luck -3).
Da Fei heaved a long sigh of relief, finally dealing with the old man's ship. Turns out this ship can't just be driven away, you need this certificate too. No wonder, without the certificate it's a rogue ship, and it would be seized by the navy. Captain, you really did a solid, even giving a license.
As for now, of course, the captain, aka myself, is inspecting his own ship. There's also a Birdman on board, right? Hehe, sorry, but now this ship is my territory, and I no longer welcome him. Especially that Magic Book BOSS, it must not fall into his hands anyhow.
...
Ship's cabin corridor. Blood Sea Wave mercilessly chops down incoming zombies, after a whole day of slaughtering paired with the efficiency of the Master Level sub-skill 'Broad Strike', Blood Sea Wave's level rocketed to Level 10, and he also received a system reward of 1 point for Basic Damage.
Now is the time to take on the BOSS, if it weren't for that trash interfering, I might have taken it down earlier.
Blood Sea Wave furiously heads to the BOSS's room, and suddenly there are no more zombies! What's going on? Is the BOSS not summoning zombies anymore?
When Blood Sea Wave reaches the BOSS's room, indeed the BOSS has stopped summoning.
This must be a change in the game's scenario, definitely that trash did something! A sense of unease overwhelms him. But there's no time to think more, a non-summoning BOSS is just trash, right? First, get the Magic Book in hand.
Blood Sea Wave, cursed from head to toe, fiercely chops at the ghost BOSS. Faced with an absolute power disparity, the BOSS struggles to counter. The Magic Book, flickering without stopping, transports magic power to heal the BOSS, but eventually, it seems the Magic Book dims and the BOSS can no longer heal!
Haha, finally couldn't handle it, huh! Thinking of the long-desired Magic Book nearly in hand, Blood Sea Wave couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Die!"
Just at that moment, Blood Sea Wave suddenly feels a familiar sense of paralysis spread throughout his body!
—System Prompt: You have been the victim of malicious PK (Player Kill) by player Da Fei, you can now retaliate legally!
Blood Sea Wave, shocked, turns his head to see—Da Fei!
Da Fei with a sinister smile: "Hard work! Goodbye!" Another shot, Blood Sea Wave curses loudly and vanishes in a white light.
—— System Prompt: You have maliciously killed the player Blood Sea Wave, your reputation -100.
Hmph! The ship is mine, and so is everything on the ship. Stealing my BOSS? Don't even think about it. However, seeing my reputation drop like this really hurts.
Now, Da Fei is definitely different from how he was in the game just a day ago, and this half-dead BOSS didn't pull any tricks to fully recover its health, making the outcome obvious. Maybe, with the Curse Space broken, this BOSS's fighting strength has also been greatly weakened.
—— System Prompt: You have killed the Misfortune Ghost, gaining +250 experience points! You have obtained "Makar's Dark Magic Skill Book". You have obtained the Misfortune Ghost Soul Crystal.
—— System Prompt: You have obtained incomplete information about the Misfortune Ghost.
Da Fei is suddenly stunned! Is this the experience for a BOSS? A Dark Magic Skill Book? Not a Magic Book? What's going on here? Da Fei hurriedly checks his inventory.
—— Makar's Dark Magic Skill Book: A skill book embedded with the great mage Makar's dark magic insights. As Makar researched his spells, this book unwittingly absorbed much of his meditation power. Now that the magic book's power is depleted, it has become a regular skill training book. Spend 1 Skill Point to learn the Basic Dark Magic Skill.
—— Basic Dark Magic: Can learn and use Level 1 Dark Magic.
—— Misfortune Ghost Soul Crystal: Unknown item.
Apoo! Da Fei spits out a mouthful of old blood! Brother says, how could a Magic Book, a high-level strategic treasure that teaches itself, appear in Newbie Village, and be in the hands of a small ghost! So it's just a rechargeable version of a skill book! So this means that this small ghost squandered all the magic power of this Magic Book? Does it mean that normally, players should team up from the start to deal with that small ghost, trying to conserve the magic power of the book for later battles against the BOSS?
Ah, if I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have worried that Blood Sea Wave would get his hands on the book, really worried for nothing. But what's with this Misfortune Ghost anyway? Was it an Evil Spirit at that time? From the incomplete information, it seems slightly stronger than an Evil Spirit. An upgraded form of an Evil Spirit? Can an elite unit like the Evil Spirit continue to level up? And what's with this unknown item, the Soul Crystal? A quest item? Oh well, there's no point fussing over the bizarre nature of Undead creatures.
The key point is that even a common item like a skill book can have a special version, which is worth studying. Da Fei starts flipping through the book, intrigued.
—— Life is impermanent, filled with chaos, filth, and pain. Death signifies tranquility, eternity, and the beauty of order!
Gosh, this opening remark is really different! Keep flipping, oh yeah, lots of words! Does Makar like messing around in textbooks?
—— Life follows the divine laws of creation, which though relatively perfect also inevitably limits its growth potential. Yet, the Undead possess limitless plasticity for growth. Zombies and Spirits are the purest representatives of Corporeal Undead and Soul Based Undead, and they are the ones most likely to evolve into leader units. So far, no wizard has manually created an Undead Leader unit, as wizards know little about the process that evolves regular units to leader units. In my view, it's not a simple process but one that spans many stages.
But ironically, while living beings have limited growth potential and are often scorned by wizards, there happens to be an Elf Clan's Legendary Hero who can train ordinary Human Archers and Elf Archers into powerful Phantom Archers, a completely different organism, a biological leap. This shows, whether it's life or Undead, both are divine domains, and we are still elementary students in this field.[indexPath] We should be more humble and cautious. I think we should start experimenting with the simplest Zombies and Spirits...
Da Fei's eyes widen! Makar's ambitions are grand; he aims to mass-produce BOSSes? Does this mean that those Zombie BOSSes in the ship's hold are his work? Could this book provide information on Divine-level Skills?
Just then—"Damn it!" Blood Sea Wave's angry cursing voice came over.
Da Fei puts down the book and looks up, and sure enough, that guy climbed onto the ship to seek revenge without even recovering from his weakened state. Has he gone mad from anger or just lost his mind?
