All players: I can choose my own dungeon rewards.

Chapter 230 Heading to Puerto Princesa

"We need to find a ship that can go to the Sea of ​​Storms, preferably the largest ship."

As soon as he left the previous shipyard, Wang Zhifan said to the two brothers Chen Ming beside him.

"Indeed, it is said that larger ships are safer at sea."

Chen Can, who was wearing glasses, understood Wang Zhifan's considerations and immediately nodded in agreement.

"But those boats just now look pretty big, many times bigger than the fishing boats in my hometown."

Chen Ming, the youngest, then said with some confusion. In his opinion, the sailboat made by the previous shipyard was already big enough to carry them out to sea.

"A Ming... It's too outrageous for you to compare sea ships with river ships. The wind and waves on the sea cannot be compared with rivers. For the sake of safety, we must find a ship with the largest tonnage as possible, otherwise we will be in trouble if we encounter something on the stormy sea. Ruined."

Chen Can glanced at his brother speechlessly.

After the three communicated, they returned to the dock port and began to ask for more information from the shipowners who were soliciting passengers.

The pier was still quite lively at this time, with sailing ships coming and going without interruption, and the shouts of various shipowners could be heard constantly.

"Longtou Port! Longtou Port! Those who go to Longtou Port come here! The ship will sail soon!"

"If you want to book a boat from Queen's Harbor, come here! We are the only boat that goes to Queen's Harbor every month! If you miss it, you have to wait another month!"

"Princess Harbor! Princess Harbor! You only have one chance a day! If you miss it, today is gone!"

……

Wang Zhifan and the other three walked through the noisy dock and approached a shipowner who had just finished his drink and was drinking water from a water bag.

The shipowner's eyesight was quite good and he quickly noticed the three of them approaching and recognized them.

He put down the water bag he had just finished drinking, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth with the cuffs of finer cotton clothes, and shouted to them quite loudly:

"Have you three found where that island is? Do you want me to send you a boat there?"

He said this with a joking tone, and it could be said that he treated the three of them as a joke.

"We found it. The island is in the stormy sea. Why don't you send us a boat there?"

Wang Zhifan didn't pay attention to the man's ridicule and asked him smoothly.

"The Sea of ​​Storms? I won't go to that hellish place! Even though my ship is strong, it can't withstand the wind and waves of death!"

The man immediately shook his head and was not ready to continue talking nonsense with Wang Zhifan.

But Wang Zhifan didn't intend to let him go, and then asked him questions and stuffed a silver coin into his hand.

"Do you know where there are ships to the Sea of ​​Storms? We really need to go there."

Seeing the solemn expressions of Wang Zhifan and the others, the shipowner, who was rubbing the silver coins that had just been stuffed into his hands with the fingers of his right hand, suddenly fell into thought. He frowned and touched his forehead with his left hand before answering. :

"You are making things difficult for me... Although I have been running the passenger ship business for ten years, I have never heard of any passenger ship running a dedicated line to the Sea of ​​Storms. Maybe the hidden ships operated by pirates use this route. If you want to choose a route... I suggest you go to a larger port and ask. There are some big shipping companies there that will open a long-distance voyage once a year. Their ships should be able to pass through stormy seas..."

After hearing what the shipowner said, Wang Zhifan and others were not surprised. They had long expected that this port would not go to the Stormy Sea, so Wang Zhifan then asked him to recommend several major ports.

"If you want to go to a big port, of course Queen's Harbor is the largest. Queen's Harbor is the largest seaport in the empire, but it takes a month to get there from us by sea. I recommend Princess Harbor as the largest seaport nearby. Princess Harbor is bigger than ours. It’s more than three times, and it only takes three days to get there…”

The shipowner recommended all the major ports that he could go to, and Wang Zhifan and the other two people quickly had an idea in mind, and turned around to start private discussions.

"Brother Fan, spending a month to go to another port is too long. Including finding a ship to go to the Sea of ​​Storms and finding the Forbidden Fruit Island in the Sea of ​​Storms, it may take half a year. I suggest we go to Princess Harbor."

Chen Can quickly suggested to Wang Zhifan that as a first-time dungeon player, it was difficult for him to accept that it would take him a year and a half to play a dungeon.

"My thoughts are actually the same as yours. Spending a month just to find a boat is a bit too torture. Let's go to Princess Harbor to see it first."

Wang Zhifan quickly confirmed this matter.

Then a few of them prepared to look for the passenger ship to Puerto Princesa, but before they had taken a few steps, a group of people who looked familiar appeared.

The leader of this group was a red-skinned NPC with sinister eyebrows, the same one who asked them for money some time ago. This obscene NPC was followed by a tall young man, who was dressed in a similar style. The inhabitants of this world are very different, and there are several similar beings following him behind him. They are the same group of players who made an impression on Wang Zhifan and others at the beginning of this dungeon.

"Brother Fan, that red-skinned guy has hooked up with them and seems to be taking them to the boat."

The sharp-eyed Chen Ming judged the purpose of their actions as soon as he noticed these people coming to the dock.

"Maybe this guy actually has some information."

Chen Can also felt a little curious when he saw this.

However, before Wang Zhifan could comment on this scene, the group of people who were walking also spotted the three of them. The tall young man who led them locked eyes with Wang Zhifan, the leader of the three, and shouted to him from a distance. road:

"Dude! We found someone to take us to that island! Do you want to come with us?"

After hearing this, Wang Zhifan replied to him without much hesitation:

"No need! It will be more efficient if we divide our troops into two groups to search!"

After hearing what Wang Zhifan said, the tall young man thought for a moment and nodded to him, then waved his hand and continued to follow the red-skinned and wretched NPC in front of him. They boarded an ordinary sailboat parked in the port one after another, which made Wang Zhifan and others look a little suspicious.

"Brother Fan, I feel that the red-skinned man must have a ghost. I'm afraid he will take them to a place like a pirate's den..."

Upon seeing this, Chen Ming couldn't help but infer that after all, the ship that the red-skinned NPC took the players on did not look like the type that could sail into the stormy sea.

"Don't worry, players who can reach more than 20 levels cannot be fools. That NPC's appearance alone makes people suspicious. How can they completely believe in him? And those players can get money so quickly. Filling that NPC shows that they are not just idle people, and they might be waiting to go to the sea to have a big fight."

Wang Zhifan never underestimates other players. Even if they are far behind him in terms of strength, he still believes that they must have considered all aspects and cannot just casually step into such a simple trap.

"Brother Fan, how strong are the players at level 20? There are only five of them. If there are more enemies, they shouldn't be able to defeat them, right?"

Chen Can on the side listened to Wang Zhifan's words and couldn't help but ask, because he is still a newbie and has only read relevant text information on the forum, but he does not have a really clear understanding of the concept of player strength.

"Well...it still depends on the player's profession and equipment. For example, the gunner profession you work for can be said to be quite effective at level 20. As long as the gunner player's equipment is not particularly poor, he can fight against more than ten enemies. The enemy also has ways to quickly deal with them, such as turning on skills such as bullet time and bullet ejection to coordinate shooting, and enemies who cannot defend themselves against bullet attacks can be killed in an instant..."

Wang Zhifan explained his understanding of the player's strength so that Chen Can could believe that his profession had a bright future.

As they chatted, they arrived at the pier near the shipowner who was specifically carrying passengers to Puerto Princesa, and then communicated with the other party to confirm the route. Soon after, Wang Zhifan bought tickets for all three of them, and he bought them at an extra price. The so-called deluxe room includes both room and board.

When they were led by the owner to climb up the ladder to the deck of the sailboat, then went down the deck and entered the cabin inside, and when they arrived at the so-called deluxe room, all three of them looked a bit bitter. .

Because this deluxe room is so "luxurious". Not only is the space small, less than ten square meters, but it also faintly emits an unpleasant smell. Except for the floor covering that takes up most of the area, it looks pretty neat. It's a rather rough dwelling, and one can't help but wonder if it was a utility room that was renovated.

"Everyone, please be patient. It's only three days anyway, and it's gone by in a flash."

Although Wang Zhifan also has strong opinions on this kind of living environment, he knows that it is really difficult to find a better living environment on a passenger ship in this world, especially on an ordinary passenger ship like this, which is separated from other passengers. The accommodation cabins are luxurious enough.

"Ugh...Brother Fan, let me go to the deck to get some fresh air."

As a second-generation rich man, Chen Ming was not a very squeamish type, but it was really hard for him to adapt to living in a place like this when he was used to flying on private jets, and he quickly fled to the ventilated deck. superior.

The older Chen Can was more tolerant. He tried hard to adapt to the smell of this small cabin, and soon put forward some personal thoughts:

"Brother Fan, I heard that people who don't often ride ships will get seasick. The feeling is said to be very uncomfortable. We need to make some preparations for this situation, such as finding some special medicines."

Wang Zhifan was convinced of his prediction, and after thinking for a moment he replied:

"I don't have this kind of special medicine on me. Why don't you go ask the NPC and see if you can buy something to prepare while the ship is still some time away from leaving port."

In fact, he is not worried that he will get seasick. After all, his physical fitness is already called inhuman, and his self-adjustment ability in the unstable rocking of the ship is far beyond ordinary people. But Chen Ming and Chen Can are different. It is foreseen that they will be vomiting in the next three days. Seasickness is almost unavoidable for people who do not make a living at sea all year round.

So, after that, Chen Can and Chen Ming worked hard for a while, asking shipowners and other port people for information about seasickness. In the end, they really got a lot of advice, such as just being patient and getting over it, vomiting Just spit it out, and they were even asked to prepare smelly socks and smell them to fight poison. Of course, Chen Ming and his brother could not adopt such outrageous suggestions. In the end, they bought a yellow product similar to oranges at the suggestion of the old man at the dock. Skin fruit, it is said that eating this very sour fruit will make you feel better when you are seasick.

In this way, time flew by. At noon on the first day of this dungeon, the passenger sailing ship they were traveling on finally set sail. About an hour after setting off, Chen Ming and Chen Can began to feel seasick. The ultimate torture.

"Uh...it feels so uncomfortable..."

"No...I'm going to vomit again..."

At this moment, Chen Ming and Chen Can, both of whom had turned pale, were standing on the deck of the sailboat. They were lying on the edge of the ship, spitting acid water toward the sea, because the contents in their stomachs had long been vomited out. Only body fluids are left to be drained out.

"Eat more of this fruit. It's a bit sour but not unpalatable."

Wang Zhifan was also on the deck at this time. He was standing not far from the two of them, holding in his hand the yellow-skinned fruit they had bought to deal with seasickness and tasting it. He felt that the fruit tasted pretty good.

"I've eaten it... uh... it's no use..."

Chen Can answered him immediately, but before he finished speaking, he started vomiting into the sea outside the ship's side.

"Eat as much as you can...vomit as much as you want...uh...I was deceived..."

Chen Ming had a similar response. He even thought that the people who sold their fruit before were deceiving them.

"Just hold on, just bear it for a few days. We still have to look for that island later."

Seeing that the special effects fruit didn't work, Wang Zhifan had no other solution. He could only give them verbal encouragement from the side. Anyway, he didn't feel seasick at all. He felt like he was at home on this rickety ship. Same.

At the same time, the deck sailors working around them also came to the Chen Ming brothers from time to time to give them verbal "warmth", because it was rare for people to get seasick in this kind of harbor area.

"Hahaha! These two people are so old that they can still get seasick! It really makes me laugh!"

"Strangers! You have been punished by Poseidon! Hurry up and pray to the great Poseidon!"

"You two are so dizzy, why isn't your companion dizzy? It's really strange!"

……

When the deck was filled with the happy atmosphere of schadenfreude, Wang Zhifan was not idle. In addition to paying attention to the situation of Chen Ming and Chen Can, he also noticed that the deck of the passenger sailboat was equipped with four large artillery pieces. This made He realized that the course they were currently on might not be smooth.

And his premonition soon came true. When the time came to the evening of that day, when Chen Ming and Chen Can, who had vomited almost the entire day, had just returned to the cabin to rest, they suddenly heard There was fierce gunfire outside, and at the same time, the urgent horn sounds of sailors sounded on the deck.
