Today’s first update, Chapter 128, release time: 0:00 on the 21st (it’s Chinese New Year~ Click here to remind me to use it as lucky money!)
…
Facing Xu Kun's smile, Zhan Rourou pursed her lips and said with some embarrassment: "I haven't had time to study the strategy for the fourth level carefully, but I heard a saying...the nightmare level difficulty of the fourth level, also known as To fall for a genius, even an SSS-level talent has a high chance of dying on nightmare-level difficulty. Are you... sure?"
Xu Kun affirmed: "Of course!"
Not only did he know that the "Nightmare Difficulty Trial" on the fourth level of the boundless sea was called the place where the genius fell, he also carefully read the strategies for the second to tenth levels during those few days of study. All over again!
And have their own corresponding insights and plans!
At this moment, Xu Kun showed the qualities that a top student should have, and with his study habits that were one step ahead of others, he said to Zhan Rourou, who was also a top student: "The fourth level is called the Infinite Sea. It’s easy to understand, what we will face next is a map of the sea!”
"What we have to do is to take the ship corresponding to the talent and sail on the boundless sea!"
"According to the level of talent, the ships controlled by talented people of each race are also different!"
"From high to low, they are SSS-class battleships equipped with large-caliber guns, SS-class cruisers equipped with large-caliber guns, and S-class destroyers equipped with torpedoes!"
"A-class frigates, B-class speedboats, C-class ships, D-class sailboats, E-class wooden boats and...F-class small rafts!"
Having said this, Xu Kun was a little embarrassed. He had already expected that he would drive a small raft and sail on the boundless sea full of crises!
Zhan Rourou listened with great interest, these were things she had never understood before.
"In other words, we have to drive ships representing our respective levels across the entire sea?"
Xu Kun nodded.
Zhan Rourou thought for a while, then frowned and said: "Those with low-level talents seem to be at a disadvantage, especially your F-level talent..."
When she thought of Xu Kun sailing on the sea holding a small raft, Zhan Rourou burst into laughter.
Xu Kun's face darkened: "The ships equipped with talents are just the beginning, but it does not mean the absolute!"
"Ah? Why is this?"
Xu Kun said proudly: "On the boundless sea, there is an interesting mechanism. Race trialists can join the boat together!"
Zhan Rourou was stunned for a moment, then said happily: "I understand, if there is an SSS-level talent of the same clan, driving a large battleship, he can protect the entire clan, is that true?"
Xu Kun smiled secretly: "Congratulations, you got the wrong answer!"
Zhan Rourou's expression froze, showing a dull expression. Looking at Xu Kun's despicable smile, she realized that he was just teasing her, and immediately stopped complying, pushing her: "Then tell me quickly, this boat ride is another one." what's the situation?"
"Hey, the rules of Haotian Tower are very fair. Naturally, I expected that a battleship piloted by an SSS-level talent would not only crush ships of other levels in terms of safety, tonnage, and offensiveness, but the key is a battleship. , is enough for everyone participating in the trial to board the deck, plus the power supply of a thousand people, how dangerous is the boundless sea for a battleship with an SSS-level talent at the helm?"
"So, this interesting ship-sharing mechanism is that low-level talented people cannot be invited to board the ships of high-level talented people, and high-level talented people can choose to abandon their original ships and go to join the ship with low-level talented people!"
"Ang? That's it. Then how could a fool give up his own good ship to compete with others' poor ship!" Zhan Rourou was speechless for a moment, thinking that this mechanism was meaningless, and it just prevents low-level talents from passing the level more easily. !
Xu Kun took a deep look at Zhan Rourou and secretly said in his heart: I hope you won't become the fool you say later!
"Then you are wrong. High-level talents give up their own ships and board low-level ships. They can help low-level talents and rob other people's ships!"
"What kind of gameplay is this?" Zhan Rourou asked confused.
"Ahem, although low-level talents cannot directly board the ships of high-level talents, if you complete the counterattack and kill the high-level talents, then you can gain control of the other party's ship!"
"Oh~" Zhan Rourou looked stunned: "You mean that a high-level talent can abandon his original ship, board the ship of a low-level talent, and then assist him to rob the ships of other high-level talent. In this way, Can everyone board it?"
"Yes, this is exactly the reason. An ownerless ship is not subject to extreme protection. In other words, you must have the ability to entangle a large group of people to kill an SSS-level talent and then rob him. The battleship, in this case, won’t it just take off from the same spot?”
Zhan Rourou pursed her lips: "It's easy for you to say. If you really encounter a battleship driven by an SSS-level talent, you probably won't be able to run away, and you still want to grab it!"
"Haha, the opportunity is here anyway, it depends on whether you cherish it or not!"
"Is the size of the ship critical?"
Faced with this simple question, Xu Kun nodded: "Sailing on the sea, you will encounter many natural disasters that cannot be resisted by human power, as well as sea race monsters entrenched in the depths of the sea!"
"A good ship not only means that it is equipped with heavy weapons, but also that it can withstand greater winds, waves and monster attacks!"
"Just imagine, if the boat capsizes, how long can you and I swim in the sea? The boundless sea is very vast, and swimming by human power... is impossible!"
"So that's it!" Zhan Rourou felt that it was an eye-opener. She didn't expect to encounter such interesting gameplay when participating in the fourth level trial!
"That's not right... As far as I know, the control of normal ships is also very complicated. So if we want to travel across the entire sea, do we need to learn how to sail a ship first?" Zhan Rourou asked stupidly.
Xu Kun was dumbfounded by her question: "Of course not, the ships given by the Infinite Sea according to talents do not have so many complicated controls, including power, including the heavy weapons on the ships, and they are all equipped with corresponding magic circles. The source of power required by the magic circle is the skills or attacks performed by the tester himself!"
"If you want a ship to sail fast, the higher the intensity of your attack or skill, the faster it will be. In the same way, if you want to use the weapon attack capabilities of the ship, you must also input enough damage!"
"It can still be like this!"
"Of course, Haotian Tower is omnipotent, and every aspect you can consider will be included!"
"Then what do I know about the three difficulties of traveling through the boundless sea?" This is what Zhan Rourou is most concerned about!
Especially the nightmare level difficulty. Anyone who has a little knowledge of the fourth level will know that the nightmare level difficulty, those who are not SSS level talents... enter with caution!
It is said that on nightmare level difficulty, even SSS level talents don’t know how many have been buried!
"The so-called three difficulties actually represent the three routes through the boundless sea. From low to high, they are the normal-level windless area, the difficult-level strong wind area, and the nightmare-level storm area!"
Zhan Rourou listened with rapt attention. These knowledge points were something they had not covered in high school. The twelve years of education from elementary school to high school were all basic knowledge that was popularized, and they were designed to cope with novice tests like college entrance examination answers!
The various knowledge points starting from the second floor do not mean that they cannot be obtained, but they are useless to them at that time. Just like when ancient China was still learning cultural knowledge, they only needed to learn quantum mechanics in university~
In the same way, as fresh graduates, they should wait until they enter the academy before delving into levels 2-10. This is also the method chosen by many race trialists. During this period, they can learn more strategies to improve their chances of passing the level!
Those who are trying to enter the second level at this stage and start subsequent breakthroughs are either absolutely confident in their own strength, such as those with SSS-level talents, or they are trying to pick up the slack before the large forces are involved in climbing the tower. .
For example, the four SS-level talents that Xu Kun met before, and Yuan Xiaomeng, are all like this!
It’s not that it’s difficult to acquire knowledge. For example, if you search for the guides for floors 2-10 through a metal bracelet, graduates who already have F-level permissions after graduating from high school can find a lot of them. But as for the accuracy, There is no way to judge. Most of them are based on the experience of some predecessors, and there are certain misleading and biases!
Really valuable strategies can only be viewed with high-level human rights.
That is the essence of knowledge of the entire human race!
Zhan Rourou has a king-level grandfather as a background, so it is not difficult to look up some rare information, but she does not have time. Unlike Xu Kun, who started from the novice trial and completed the trial in one day, and the remaining six days Most of them are holding books and chewing on them!
Xu Kun pursed his lips and continued: "There are actually corresponding professional terms for the three endless sea trials with different difficulties!"
"The trial mode of the ordinary level traveling through the windless zone is called the Thousand Sails Race!"
"The difficult trial mode of traveling through strong wind areas is called the Hundred Geges Struggle!"
"The nightmare-level trial mode of traveling through the storm zone is called the lonely sail and distant shadow!"
"Thousands of sails are racing...Hundreds of teams are competing...The lone sail is far away..." Zhan Rourou said thoughtfully.
"I guess you understood something from these three names!" Xu Kun said with a smile.
"Yes, the number of people?" Zhan Rourou said a little uncertainly.
Xu Kun nodded: "Yes, Qian, Bai, and Gu respectively refer to the number of people participating in the trial under the three modes!"
"The Thousand Sails Competition requires the participation of a thousand race trialists before it can start. For now, our map is the only one that can clear the third level. Although the number of people who can clear the level is enough for a thousand people, it's just Like Xiaomeng and the others, most racial trialists will probably not participate in the fourth level trial at this stage!"
The Thousand Sails Competition at the normal level is like a large dungeon with a thousand people. It can only start when enough people are gathered and the talent at all levels is balanced!
There is no such thing as a bunch of low-level talents gathering a thousand people and starting a voyage. At least it should be like the third level. In the absence of SSS-level talents, some SS-level talents should be arranged to participate. Otherwise, early on Don’t those who participate take advantage?
Either one is super powerful and many are strong, or princes compete for hegemony. This is also the iron law of the trials that Haotian Tower participates in collectively!
It is difficult for Xu Kun and the others as the first echelon to gather enough people in quality and quantity!
But Thousand Sails Competition difficulty is the mode that 99% of race trialists will choose, because in this mode, the chance of death is the smallest!
In the Thousand Sails Race mode, the ship driven by the trialist will sail in the vastest, safest and most peaceful windless area of the boundless sea.
In the boundless sea, the most threatening thing is the wind and waves formed in the sea. If you are not careful, the ship will be overturned. Except for some sea race trialists who can survive in the sea, the rest of the race trialists will be destroyed once Ship, then there is only a dead end!
Therefore, having a sturdy ship can greatly increase the chance of traveling through the entire boundless sea!
Secondly, in the boundless sea, there are sea-type racial monsters living, which are also the second most threatening existence to the trialists!
For example, in the Windless Zone, there are not only sea race monsters, but most of them are sea race monsters with low-level talents!
But don’t underestimate the sea race monsters with low-level talents. In the boundless sea, even a mere F-level talent racial monster will cause the frigate controlled by an A-level talent to be punctured, leaked, or even overturned if you are not careful. Falling into the sea!
This is the charm and terror of the sea. Under the seemingly calm sea, you will never imagine what dangers are hidden!
For the race trialists who have chosen the Thousand Sails Competition mode, the most dangerous thing is not the boundless sea itself, but the other 999 other race trialists participating in the trial!
This is also a common problem in all trial levels with large numbers of people!
In addition to the prerequisite for mutual conquest between races, in order to reduce the number of opponents competing for high-level scores, in the windless zone where thousands of sails compete, they often carry out non-stop bombardment, striving to sink the opponent's ships!
It is not uncommon for people to join together vertically and horizontally to keep warm. Even a battleship piloted by an SSS-level genius may be hit and sunk by a speedboat or ship piloted by a large group of low-level geniuses!
What? Do you think low-level talents are chasing moths into the flames by sailing their own small boats against big ships?
But let me tell you, racial interests are above all else. In every election, there are such dead warriors whose purpose is to defend the dignity of the race!
Even in ancient China, there were similar records passed down, and Xu Kun even heard his history teacher seriously mention a corresponding case!
It was a fishing boat captain named Zhan from the ancient Chinese period. When faced with the Sakura Kingdom destroyer sailing into the territorial waters of ancient China, he showed the bloody nature of the Chinese people and rammed the opponent's huge tonnage with an old fishing boat. The warship proved to the whole world that China’s territory is sacred and inviolable!
And Xu Kun also kept the captain and the ship he drove in mind as a role model!
Captain Zhan Qixiong, Fujian-Jinyu fishing boat No. 5179!
…
Stories of small boats ramming sunken ships are common in windless areas. Many high-level talents have suffered great losses in this regard.
Therefore, no one is truly invincible in the Windless Zone under Thousand Sails Competition difficulty. This also gives many low-level talents the opportunity to try to obtain higher trial scores!
Another reason why 99% of race trialists choose the Thousand Sails Competition mode is that there are six strategic check-in points in the windless zone.
Strategic check-in points are some isolated islands in the sea. From near to far, after completing a check-in, you can get a trial score of F level to A level. After completing the check-in at a strategic point, you can also choose to end the trial directly at that time. , and teleport safely to the fifth floor!
Invisibly, it gives trialists who participate in this mode a guarantee. When they can see the strategic island, they can choose to use a ship to crash the ships of other races, drag them into the water, and then swim to the island to check in and leave. of!
As for the more advanced S, SS, and SSS-level ratings, you need to travel through the entire boundless sea and then step into the teleportation array. The same is true for the third level. In the Thousand-Sail Race Mode with a group of thousands of people, there is only one SSS-level rating. Birth, two SS-level ratings, and the remaining seven S-level ratings!
After listening to Xu Kun's explanation, Zhan Rourou nodded repeatedly: "This mode sounds very interesting!"
Xu Kun grinned: "In the Thousand Sails Race mode, races engage in naval battles with each other. You don't know who the winner is until the last moment. Moreover, because of the existence of six strategic islands, it also greatly reduces the difficulty of death, so it is Many race trialists admire and favor it!"
"What about the Hundred Geges Contest Mode?"
"The Hundred Ships Race mode is basically similar to the Thousand Sails Race. In addition to the reduction in the number of people, the most important thing is that the threat of the boundless sea itself has increased. The strong wind blowing from time to time and the huge waves set off represent B-level talents driving It’s hard to survive in a speedboat!”
"Of course, the strong wind area in the Hundred Geges Struggle mode also has six strategic points to check in. As the number of people decreases, the conquests between races will also decrease accordingly. There will be less fighting between each other, but more resistance. Strong winds and attacks from more powerful sea monsters!"
"Under normal circumstances, unless it is difficult to gather the number of people in the Thousand Sails Competition, there is no need to consider the Hundred Races Competition mode. Like we are now, the Thousand Sails Competition mode is probably not easy to recruit people, but only one hundred races are needed to try it. In the cultivator's battle mode, I guess you can try to line up a row...but I think the two SS-level talents from the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan and the Husha Clan will not continue the trial in a short time. , so we can’t consider the hundreds of rivalry model for the time being!”
Zhan Rourou was speechless for a moment. She had never heard of someone who, after clearing the third level, would be unable to continue the trial on the fourth level due to the number of people limited.
"Then the only thing left is the nightmare-level Gufanyanying mode. Is this mode the single-player mode?"
Xu Kun shook his head: "The nightmare-level Gufanyuanying mode is very different from the previous two modes!"
"Gufan does not mean that one person can participate, such as windless areas and strong wind areas. No matter how many people participate in the trial, a sufficient number of areas will be set aside for trial participants to participate, but the storm area in Gufanyuanying mode , there is and only one!"
Zhan Rourou's eyes widened: "In other words, no matter how many people choose the lonely sail and distant shadow mode, they will be arranged on the same route and the same departure coast?"
"Yes, that's exactly it!"
