Chapter 927 - 874: Bai Huasha’s Whaling Operation Revival
Bai Huasha put down the fishing rod and found Captain Spielberg: "Captain, I have a question. We’ve been on the ship for three days, why haven’t we caught any big fish?"
Spielberg let out a helpless puff of smoke: "What’s it got to do with me?"
Bai Huasha pointed moodily at a distant passing ship: "Captain, other ships sail by with seagulls hovering all over them, while your ship doesn’t even get a single bird dropping or feather. Don’t you think your ship looks lifeless?"
Spielberg suddenly became emotional: "Anything else?"
Bai Huasha observed the NPC’s change in expression and had a sudden intuition. It was either him or his ship that had a problem!
Bai Huasha began to scan the absurdly clean whaling ship up and down, then speculated: "Has the Captain’s ship always been docked? It hasn’t gone whaling for a long, long time?"
Spielberg let out a long sigh: "That’s right, because this ship can no longer catch whales. If it weren’t for the guild leader enlightening me, I would have completely given up on life."
Bai Huasha, puzzled, asked: "What’s wrong with the ship? What did the guild leader say?"
Spielberg chuckled and sighed: "The guild leader told me that my ship has killed too many whales, and the resentment of the whales on board makes my ship too ominous. Apart from powerful sea monsters, most smart fish or birds won’t come near my ship."
Bai Huasha exclaimed in surprise: "Ships can have ominous resentment too?"
Spielberg replied seriously: "Yes, and it’s also a sign of the ship having life. So my greatest wish now is for my ship to officially gain life."
Bai Huasha hurriedly asked: "How can it officially gain life?"
Spielberg chuckled and sighed: "I think it should follow its extreme path to the end, catch more big fish, kill more sea monsters, and gather more resentment. However, now big fish avoid my ship as soon as they see it, which is troublesome. But precisely because of this unique trait of my ship, completing this task of driving away the crocodiles from the fishing grounds should be very easy, so don’t worry."
Bai Huasha suddenly realized! So this is the ship’s secret!
It’s not difficult to notice this abnormality with keen observation, but to directly give an answer like Da Fei did, Bai Huasha admitted he couldn’t do it! Da Fei’s achievements are undoubtedly genuine; comparing him to Da Wei is like night and day!
At this moment, Bai Huasha no longer dared to underestimate Da Fei. Previously, Bai Huasha always thought Da Fei was just a nouveau riche rolling snowballs. Now that the captain’s storyline had been triggered, what should be done? If Bai Huasha missed this storyline with open eyes, it would show the vast gap between himself and Da Fei.
Bai Huasha’s thoughts whirled rapidly. Kill more sea monsters? But with the ship so slow, it’s impossible to catch up with sea monsters. Then, only find those sea monsters that absolutely won’t run, like the sea monster’s lairs! However, there are too many minions at the sea monster’s lairs, and an ordinary large player team can’t handle it.
However, the ship’s specialty is in dispersing the minions, which should greatly reduce the pressure, right? The key is, this is a large ship! The current best player ships are only medium ships, and incomparable to this; not using this well-equipped large ship would be a waste!
Of course, Da Fei is not wasting it; he’s too busy to care!
As for the sea monster’s lair? Bai Huasha quickly opened the map and found it, Man-eating Flying Fish Sea! Where the currents of the West Ocean, North Ocean, and Southern Ocean converge in summer, abundant in food, and home to a carnivorous flying fish that dominates here. They number in the tens of thousands, with fins large like wings that can leap over the sea and directly jump onto ships to bite people, very terrifying.
However, the whaler’s gunwales are so high that ordinary flying fish aren’t likely to jump on board, which further reduces the minions significantly. This means the Flying Fish Sea is a place where players can easily deal with once they have large ships. And now, the large ship is in his hands!
Bai Huasha was excited and immediately went to Spielberg: "Captain, if I have a way to make your ship hunt sea monsters, can you listen to my plan?"
Spielberg shook his head and laughed: "Of course, but the premise is that this guild mission takes priority, and given our ship’s speed, I’m afraid we can’t afford any distractions."
Bai Huasha’s eyebrows twitched: "What if I can find a way to significantly increase the ship’s speed?"
Spielberg was surprised: "How could the ship significantly increase its speed?"
Bai Huasha laughed, "Of course, by getting more companions with fast boats to tow us along."
Spielberg slapped his forehead and laughed heartily: "You’re so clever! Alright, as long as you can manage it without affecting the guild’s critical tasks, I’ll listen to your ideas!"
Bai Huasha was overjoyed: "Great, it’s settled then!"
At this moment, Da Wei, who had been listening intently, exclaimed in surprise: "Where can we find companions?"
Bai Huasha replied irritably: "The China Region is so big, it’s not a server full of ghosts without people. Where can’t you find companions? Anyway, just shout around nearby; too far away would be meaningless."
——Regional Channel [Bai Huasha]: Large armored whaler, international competition top 64 expert, top 16 expert leading a team to grind high-end map ’Man-eating Flying Fish Sea’. Looking for several medium-sized fast boats for towing team play, equal sharing of experience and equipment throughout. If there’s anyone in this region willing to come, shout in the channel.
Da Wei was stunned on the spot! Is this even possible? Flaunting your competition achievements up front seems a bit, well, something!
Bai Huasha was irritated at Da Wei’s expression, "In situations where people are unfamiliar with each other, this is the only way to gain their trust. This is why hiring companies must look at students’ grades first. If you can’t use grades to prove yourself, what else can you use? Humility has no benefits!"
Sure enough, there was an immediate response in the regional channel.
——Regional Channel [Seven Seas Dominator]: We have 4 medium ships, with great coordination. Seeing as you’re a famous competition expert, our team can make an exception to accompany you on this detour, but we hope you don’t team up with others; otherwise, we won’t go.
——Regional Channel [Magic Jelly]: Second person.
——Regional Channel [Cold Blooded Ice River]: Third person.
——Regional Channel [Lonely Frog]: Fourth person.
(Note: See Chapter 421 "Standing Up Again After Falling" for the four minor characters knocked out by Da Fei at sea)
Bai Huasha laughed heartily: "See that? That’s the advantage of strength and reputation!"
——Regional Channel [Bai Huasha]: Alright, 4 people is enough, my coordinates (XXXX, YYYY), please everyone gather to me immediately!
