Chapter 795 - 754: Training the Angel Sailors
Looking at the screen full of system information, Da Fei, who was already mentally prepared, let out a long sigh of relief.
Once again, he annihilated an ancient regular army. The last battle was the enemy fighting to the death without retreat, and this time the enemy couldn’t escape even if they wanted to. If even one escaped, all my merits and spoils would be gone. In the end, it was the victory of Elda’s divine arts, but fundamentally, it was the victory of my excellent leadership, haha, wahahaha!
But the real big event is just beginning. There’s no time to greet Elda’s poker divine arts, and no time to check out this newly acquired ground listener. The urgent task at hand is to teleport all the mountains of resources on the dock.
Da Fei handed the golden treasure bead space marker to Elda, and couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly, "Miss Elda, you’ve worked hard. As long as we teleport all these resources back, we will hit it big. Promotion is definitely in the cards."
Elda took the treasure bead with an evident fatigue, letting out a long sigh, "Perhaps after using this treasure bead, I won’t have the strength to maintain my angel form anymore, and I won’t be able to help you. You’ll have to figure things out by yourself in the future."
Da Fei was suddenly startled, unable to maintain angel form? Is this the aftermath of using the divine arts?
Before he could think more, Elda had already activated the space marker. A golden light suddenly burst out, enveloping the mountain of resources on the dock. The surrounding space began to distort violently, and amid flashes and thunder, a gigantic spatial gate appeared with a bang!
At this moment, Da Fei’s eyes were fixed in amazement. He could never have imagined such a gigantic space gate; it was practically a black hole! Is this the power of the angel race? Or the power of the gods?
With a flash of thunder, his vision blurred, and the enormous mountain instantly disappeared! The dock, which was piled high with goods just a moment ago, was now empty!
Da Fei snapped back to his senses, ecstatically laughing, "Oh yeah! Success!"
This operation was incredible, better than when I used three big trucks to transport goods in the China Region. This time, it’s enough to support the barrier power of Divine Punishment City against the Demon King, isn’t it? My merit in collecting resources is about to skyrocket, and even if the European Union Zone players don’t cooperate and don’t collect resources, they can’t defeat me, wahahaha!
Just then, black smoke began to steam from Elda’s entire body, her form becoming blurry and rapidly shrinking. Amidst the flicker of black light, the freckled bar girl in her luxurious attire reappeared.
Da Fei was dumbfounded, "What happened to you?"
The barmaid Elda sighed dejectedly, "Of course, using the treasure bead consumed too much energy, and I can no longer maintain my angel form. Now I’m just an ordinary mortal, not a hero, and can’t fly. Please don’t have too high expectations. Also, the treasure bead’s energy is exhausted and cannot be used for three days."
Da Fei widened his eyes in shock, "Then... what about the battles ahead?"
Elda replied grumpily, "I’m like this now, how can I fight?"
Da Fei shook his head in shock, "I mean, what if something happens to you?"
Elda chuckled, "Who knows? Maybe I’ll resurrect in Divine Punishment City, or perhaps be captured by the demons, and my angel spirit will become a fallen angel. In any case, you figure it out!"
Da Fei’s jaw dropped! Once again, it’s up to me to figure it out? Is this a test for me?
Damn it, is this my time to be the hero saving the damsel? Shouldn’t I be escorting her back safely now? Although she has become an ordinary human NPC and can’t fly, as long as we reach the edge of the Despair Plain, my Angel’s Wings can still take her on a showy flight. Besides, the demon army doesn’t have much strength now; I am fully confident to escort her back safely.
But wait! Once I send her back, doesn’t it mean she will officially leave my team? The bond between us might just end here. I have just let her witness my wisdom and power, and haven’t even had the chance to make her declare her stance, how can I let her go back?
In any case, I should be patting my chest and telling her, "We will always be comrades. You just need to sit quietly by the side and watch me continue to be wise and powerful, just keep racking up merits with me!"
Exactly, although the first choice might deeply move and captivate an ordinary woman, increasing goodwill substantially. But Elda clearly isn’t an ordinary woman. She is a fallen one-winged angel; what she lacks the most is merit, isn’t it? Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so respectful to the Angel Leader for being given a lowly rank!
That is to say, the correct approach is to take her along to continue accumulating merits! Although it’s highly irresponsible for her safety, this is truly the test of a man’s, a commander’s ability. Perhaps in her eyes, only an incompetent leader would lack the confidence to keep her around. It seems this is the key moment for me to recruit her.
Da Fei decided, starting to express earnestly, "Miss Elda, thanks to your full support, I’ve gained unimaginable merits. Now you just quietly watch me perform. You only need to rest and have fun on the side."
Elda laughed heartily, "Sure, resting and having fun are my favorites!"
Indeed, this was her true thought. Fine! Even though you can’t fly now, I can take you sailing. I want you to see my real strength. I want to make these terrestrial hell ducks so afraid that they never dare to enter the water. Here is where I truly don’t need to rely on your battleground!
Now, Da Fei’s team boarded the ship again, and a scorching heat hit them in the face.
Elda frowned, pulled out a delicate little folding fan that some bastard gave her, and started fanning herself.
Da Fei was suddenly surprised, indeed, the cabin floating on the Lava River is just like an iron plate grill, how can Elda, now a frail mortal woman, bear it?
But it’s okay! I had the foresight to have Divine Artifact! Da Fei immediately pulled out that "Frost Coral Tree" he bid 2.5 million for at the auction in the Dwarf Capital—a piece of furniture that gave Da Fei the Expert Level Treasure Appraiser info and was said to cool high-temperature forging rooms.
The last time the Flying was transporting the corpses of Demons to the Nasir Ancient Tree for food, Da Fei whimsically placed it in the cargo hold, attempting to preserve the corpses. Whether it preserved or not was unknown, but now the cooling effect is immediate, and there’s indeed a slight chill around the coral tree!
Elda couldn’t help but smile: "You actually know such things?"
Wahaha! Compared to my air conditioning, things like folding fans can be tossed into the Lava River to burn! Da Fei laughed heartily: "Do you like it? If you like it, I’ll give it to you!"
Elda shook her head and said grimly: "This is not a tavern!"
Da Fei laughed unexpectedly, indeed, bar girls outside taverns are not authentic bar girls. Da Fei glanced around the cabin, finding it too simplistic and crude with just giant paddles, cables, and anchors. There ought to be tables and chairs for my ugly duckling sweetheart to play cards and rest. Even during the most destitute times at sea, I never let my beauty suffer. Following me, you won’t suffer either.
Da Fei looked at the dock and immediately noticed a place similar to a warehouse with sets of tables, chairs, cabinets, and beds, and inside the warehouse, there were even boxes and boxes of wine! Just in time, there’s nothing to say, activate the War Plunder Skill, and all Angels move house!
With the Angels’ mobility, moving was just a matter of two back-and-forths, and in no time, the previously empty flat cabin was filled with sets of furniture and piles of wine.
Looking at the fully furnished ship, Elda finally sat contentedly by the coral tree, then lowered her head and directly fell asleep on the table.
Da Fei felt a tug at his heart, realizing she was always very tired! Alright, just sleep at ease!
Now Da Fei arranged all the Angel Army to be in the rowing positions, everything was ready, then set sail! But unexpectedly, the Angels were rowing chaotically, some rowing forward, some backward, and some just splashing the water with the giant paddles for fun! Under their antics, the giant paddle ship just spun in place and couldn’t leave the harbor!
Da Fei’s jaw dropped, what on earth is going on?
Only then did Da Fei suddenly remember he hadn’t been to sea for a long time and had neglected something he shouldn’t have—these Angels aren’t sailors!
That’s right, every novice running maritime trade needs to hire a sailor at the Sailor’s House after buying a ship! Even if it’s the lowest-level sailor, even if their combat power is the level of a 0-level soldier, as long as they have "Sailing Skill," they can help players sail!
In other words, Da Fei’s correct course of action should be to try and subdue those sleeping giant boatmen? Yet the more one experiences, the more one realizes how unreliable such things are!
Da Fei was suddenly in a predicament! Never expected to make a mistake on such a simple and absurd issue! Or, perhaps this scenario wasn’t worried about players hijacking the ship, so the Demon Army dared to boldly park several boats at the dock?
What to do? There might only be one last way. Da Fei then opened a long-neglected skill—Master-level Special Soldier Training Skill!
Indeed, back in the day, it was with this self-realized skill that I taught the Little Banshee Master War Machine Science, which led to the birth of the new unit, the Artillery Emperor, and also advanced my skill comprehension to Master Level. I now have no choice but to cram and teach the Angels to learn the Sailing Skill!
However, there are two problems: One, the Angels are all adults, can they be taught? Two, this Lava River belongs to a special water body that inherently doesn’t support the Sailing Skill, is my choice of classroom wrong?
But, there are no options left! Whether it works or not, we must try! Otherwise, we’ll have to head home. Moreover, judging from the previous training of the Little Banshee, as long as the Little Banshee successfully learned a level one skill, the Little Banshee’s attributes would advance, stepping toward becoming an elite one step at a time!
In other words, as long as I successfully get an Angel to learn Basic Navigation Skill, then the Angel will also advance, and by the time Master-level Navigation Skill is learned, it might even directly become a BOSS!
Exactly! The more unreliable the teaching environment, the more one must face it head-on. Isn’t it in these unreliable environments that Grandmasters and God-level beings are born? Moreover, the opportunity to snatch a Hell Ship is a once-in-a-lifetime chance; I’ll take the gamble!
