The Midnight Owl

Chapter 30: floating ball

Views:

The scolding people on the deck didn't have so much time to "fight infighting". After scolding, they immediately threw themselves into the fight with the tentacles, and didn't even look at the troublesome guy above.

The one on the mast suddenly stood up, holding a bow in one hand and slowly drawing an arrow from the quiver around his waist in the other.

Qian Ai's eyes widened in disbelief: "Damn, it's not for real..."

Take a bow, shoot an arrow.

The action is done in one go, and it flows smoothly.

A feathered arrow with wind rushed towards the side railing that his three teammates were facing back to with a smashing bamboo, firmly anchored in the tentacles that had been hooked up at some point, the arrow sunk deeply, and the flesh was white. His tentacles trembled.

Xu Wang and the others are facing this side, and they can see it clearly.

Qian Ai is already stupid. The same arrow in his hand is not as good as a child's slingshot. At least the child won't be crushed by a rubber band, but in other people's hands it becomes a real cold weapon. So fucking handsome! That one bow and one archery, force the sky to blow up, elegant like a fairy!

The man on the mast didn't look at this at all, and continued to build the bow, without the slightest urgency in his movements, and stretched like a recreational exercise in the arrow house.

The second arrow broke through the wind and entered the tentacles again.

The third branch.

Fourth branch.

That tentacle was like a living target, and it was pierced into a hedgehog by the arrows one after another.

After the fifth branch, the tentacle finally took a "thorn" and retracted into the sea in embarrassment.

It all happened behind those three teammates, and those three were unaware.

Xu Wang was anxious for them, wishing he could reach out and turn their heads back! For teammates who don't speak well, you can't just listen to them, but also look at the actual actions! If he just listened to Wu Sheng's words, it would not be too many to break up ten times!

However, those three couldn't hear Xu Wang's inner cry, they were still fighting with the original tentacle on that side, and then, with their "effort", the number of tentacles on that side had increased to five.

The statement of Zhan Wuzha is indeed unpleasant, but it looks very much like the truth now.

Although these three can't fight, what should I do if I can't beat a tentacle three-on-one? scold.

In the noisy waves, the three of them were heard bluffing.

"What the hell is this-"

"I'm so fucking tired of this fucking place—"

"Damn, they said don't run out of stationery, now I can't get anything out—"

Xu Wang sighed, after scolding the sea monster and scolding the owl, and then angering his teammates after scolding the owl, this wave of operations is very good.

There is a difference in comparison. He now feels that teammates like Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, and Kuang Jinxin are the angels.

There should have been arrows in the quiver, but the man on the mast suddenly sat down again.

Xu Wang didn't know whether he decided that only the deck railing on this side was his responsibility, and on the other side, he died; Great use, drop in the bucket.

In short, he sat back, bent one leg, and his posture was calm and leisurely.

Xu Wang wanted to take a look at his expression now, so he turned to look for the binoculars, but found that he was not the only one with such curiosity—Jin Xin was already looking up from the binoculars.

"What's the matter?" Xu Wang couldn't help asking curiously when he saw that his eyes were getting bigger and bigger.

"So beautiful..." Kuang Jinxin sighed sincerely.

Xu Wang was confused by this completely out of line answer, and suspected that he and Kuang Jinxin didn't chat on a channel: "What are you watching?"

"Just the archer above," Kuang Jinxin gave the "peer" opposite a name that he thought was very cool, then gave up the telescope, and couldn't wait to urge Xu Wang, "Captain, look, really, he looks good. It's like a painting!"

Xu Wang put on the lens barrel silently. He thought that the man used some amazing stationery. A man's appearance can also be beautiful? No matter how handsome he is, he is just as good-looking as Wu Sheng...

Sorry, this is the second time today that he has been ashamed of his ignorance.

Xu Wang didn't know how to describe a person's contours and eyebrows. He only knew that the appearance of the person on the mast had left the category of "worldly good-looking". Words like "handsome" and "beautiful" would appear pale in front of that face. , Kuang Jinxin said "like a painting", is right, that is, picturesque, not like the world.

It stands to reason that if a man is too good-looking, he will look feminine, but the one on the mast is not. He is beautiful in a particularly accurate proportion. Any more is too tough, and one less is a mother. His skin is very white, and there is a mole at the corner of his eye, which gives him a classical temperament. Even if he is leisurely watching the three teammates below busy, the whole person is indifferent, you still feel that He is like a son of a scholarly family, admiring Yunjuan Yunshu.

Chi Yingxue, Xu Wang recited the name silently in his heart, very envious. It turns out that the name has been chosen, so there is really no need to worry about the appearance.

Just like a clear pond reflecting the spring snow, a pear blossom is slanted.

Satisfied with curiosity, Xu Wang let go of the binoculars, and Kuang Jinxin, as if he hadn't seen enough, posted it again, but after only two seconds of looking at it, he was suddenly startled: "Captain, he smiled at me!"

Xu Wang raised his head again, he couldn't see the expression on the mast clearly, but he could clearly see the movement. The man didn't know when, he had turned his head to look here, apparently found that they were watching. Xu Wang, who was smiling or not, didn't know, but he clearly saw that the man raised his arm and waved lightly at him and Kuang Jinxin.

Your teammates are going to be "killed", and you still have time to say Hi to the onlookers

Xu Wangzheng was speechless, the hull on the opposite side, which had been pulled so badly by the sea monster, completely capsized in a sudden big wave.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, and the people on the boat didn't even have time to call for help, and the sailboat was upside down on the sea. The masts, cabins, and decks were gone, only the bottom of the boat was left, floating alone on the sea.

Soon, the bottom of the ship was gone too - the monster dragged the whole ship into the depths of the sea.

The sea calmed down in an instant, the wind stopped, the waves calmed down, and a thick fog gradually rose.

In the terrifying silence, Xu Wang shuddered. If there was no Hot Wheels that Qian Ai was desperate for, and now they are engulfed by the icy waters, it might be them.

"He's not saying hello to us," Kuang Jinxin said suddenly without thinking, "he's saying goodbye to us."

Xu Wang was still afraid and didn't respond: "Who?"

"Archer." Kuang Jinxin said.

Xu Wang: "..."

Sometimes destroying the atmosphere is also a good medicine against fear.

Taking Kuang Jinxin back to the deck to join his teammates, Wu Sheng looked at the silent direction of the ship with a solemn expression, while Qian Ai was directly disheartened: "What other route do you choose, I'll just choose the dog belt..."

Xu Wang was shocked and quickly raised his arm to look.

Jing Gu was battling sea monsters, and completely forgot about choosing a route.

Fortunately, the options are still rolling, and there is no such tragedy as "timeout loses selection qualification" or "timeout selects an item by default".

The fog is getting thicker and thicker, and it fills the surrounding sea. At this time, there is another ship that is more than ten meters away. Even with a telescope, I can't see anything clearly.

"We have to choose quickly," Xu Wang said. "This fog is not a good sign."

"Treasure Beach," Wu Sheng retracted his gaze, "Flying Island, I suspect it is a place where coordinates can be moved."

"Isn't that better?" Kuang Jinxin didn't understand.

Qian Ai rolled his eyes: "Brother, our luggage is still in the waiting hall."

Kuang Jinxin frowned bitterly: "'Owl' is so powerful, there are flying islands, can't you help us solve the luggage problem?"

"The ability should be there, but I don't think it will be so considerate." Qian Ai has given up hope in this malicious world.

Kuang Jinxin didn't have any other emotions, he just asked for advice seriously: "But even if we went to Treasure Beach, we still moved."

"At the speed of this boat, you won't be able to go very far in four or five hours," Xu Wang understood Wu Sheng's meaning of choosing the Treasure Beach, "We went to the Treasure Beach, picked up the treasure, and returned to reality after returning to reality. At the airport, the plane flies, and the luggage has to be brought back."

Qian Ai frowned: "There must be treasures in Treasure Beach?"

Xu Wang said, "Of course, why not call it Treasure Beach?"

Qian Ai frowned deeper: "Are you sure the luggage is still there when we go back to the airport?"

Kuang Jinxin said: "Of course, there are our documents in it, and whoever picks it up will hand it over to the airport's lost and found office."

Qian Ai: "… "

Such a simple and rude captain, such a blindly optimistic teammate, he is still alive and well, thankful heart, thanks to fate TAT

thump.

There was a knocking sound from below the deck.

thump.

dong dong.

There was no warning, but it didn't stop as soon as it sounded.

In this deadly silent foggy sea, it was as if a ghost was knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

"I'll go," Qian Ai tried to get closer to the military advisor, "I won't let the octopus go away and come back to the water demon..."

"No, the water demon just sings." Wu Sheng had a good reason, his voice seemed very bold, but he didn't take a step forward, raised his eyebrows and shouted at the vast ocean, "Who—"

Xu Wang was speechless: "You should be knocking on the door, who else are you asking..."

"I, Mao Qiping—"

Really, it should.

The four of them probed together and looked at the sea under the railing. They saw a floating ball came to the side of their boat at some point. A skylight was opened on the upper part of the ball, and a man in his early thirties sat inside, looking up. Greet them warmly.

Eyes met, the man immediately got up, put his hand out from the skylight, and knocked twice on their wooden hull, and finally smiled brightly, showing his white teeth, as if to say, here, I just knocked like this, I Be smart.

"Your friend?" Xu Wang asked Wu Sheng.

It was normal for him to guess this, because the question and answer just now, coupled with Mao Qiping's familiar tone, really didn't look like an outsider.

As a result, Wu Sheng shook his head blankly.

Xu Wang stared at him blankly for a long time, and finally believed that this person below was really a chance encounter, and suddenly looked back at Mao Qiping speechlessly: "Friend, as a stranger, should you continue to introduce yourself after registering your name?"

Mao Qiping patted his forehead in annoyance: "I was negligent!" Then, while rummaging through the small bag he was carrying, he introduced himself without raising his head, "I am a resident here, I just come in every night, but You don’t form a team, don’t break through the level. When you look at you, you just came in and your eyes are smeared. I’m here to find out all the information and materials, which are guaranteed to be true and reliable. If you fake one, you will be fined ten, and the price will be clearly marked.

He finally took the thing he wanted out of the bag and poked it on a thin stick similar to chopsticks. Then, when he pressed his thumb, the thin stick stretched out section by section, and finally he handed the paper poked by the tip of the stick to the In front of the four.

"This is a copy of my ID card, driver's book, and the first page of the household registration book. It is an absolute guarantee of character and integrity in doing business!" Mao Qiping held the telescopic pole with one hand and patted his chest with the other.

Wu Sheng: "..."

Qian Ai: "… "

Kuang Jinxin: "..."

Xu Wang: "You have mosaicked all the key information, you can see your sincerity!!!"

"No, what I want is a sense of ceremony, I look professional," Mao Qiping retracted the telescopic pole piece by piece, took off the copy and put it away again, "but I can't really give information to you guys, after all, I am also a procrastinator outside. If you have a family, it's not good to involve things here outside."

He came in every night, but didn't break through. For some reason, Xu Wang thought of Sun Jiang.

The former partner was also unwilling to go to Shaanxi with them because he couldn't let go of his family. If this idea remained unchanged, Sun Jiang would have to go into the snowfield every day and be alone night after night.

In contrast, the one at the bottom of the boat is much more moisturised, with high spirits and a red face.

"This is the endless sea, you must have received the information in the cheat sheet," Mao Qiping said to himself before Xu Wang and the others spoke, "This place does not belong to any level, but the transition zone between levels, When you leave the old level coordinates, but do not reach the new level coordinates, you will be sent here after entering. If there is a team, there will be a ship. If there is no team like me, give a ball..."

"Teleportation?" Wu Sheng grabbed the key word.

"Yes," Mao Qiping looked up and searched before he found his chat partner, "The Endless Sea is based on provinces. In which province you are sucked in, you will enter the Endless Sea corresponding to that province. But the landing point is the same as you. It doesn't matter where you are, it's all in a fixed area. Take Shaanxi as an example, no matter you are in Xianyang, Xi'an, Hanzhong, or Yan'an, the moment you are sucked in, you will be concentrated in this sea area..."

"In order to ensure the fairness of competition?" Wu Sheng speculated along this line of thinking.

"Smart!" Mao Qiping praised without hesitation, not knowing whether it was sincere or polite, "The positions of the four lighthouses are fixed, if the coordinates of each team's entry are far away, the team that is closer will take advantage of it. ."

"It's five o'clock?" Wu Sheng asked.

"Go back to the origin, no matter how far you have sailed here, where you entered from, and where you will be after you go back." Mao Qiping didn't give a shit, "This is the essential difference between the endless sea and the checkpoint."

Wu Sheng asked, "What's in the Flying Island and Treasure Beach?"

Mao Qiping didn't answer any more, but lowered his head and turned over his bag again, this time faster than the last time, took out three pieces of paper in the blink of an eye, poked them on the telescopic pole, and handed them to the four of them again.

The four partners took off the papers, looked at them one by one, and found three question lists—

[Rules]

1. Coordinate correlation. (50 RMB)

2. Injury and death related. (100 yuan)

3. Stationery related. (100 yuan)

4. Roster, cheat sheet related. (100 yuan)

5. Transcript related. (100 yuan)

6.…

[Levels]

1. The content of the first level and the strategy for customs clearance. (20 yuan)

2. The content of the second level and the strategy for customs clearance. (200 yuan)

3. The third level content and customs clearance strategy. (400 yuan)

4. The content of the fourth level and the strategy for customs clearance. (600 yuan)

5. The fifth level content and customs clearance strategy. (1000 yuan)

6. Notes and experience sharing for daily brushing. (current price)

Note: Since the content of the level will be randomly adjusted and modified, the general applicability of the guide is not guaranteed.

[Endless Sea]

1. What is the Endless Sea? (50 RMB)

2. What are the four lighthouses? (100 yuan)

3. What dangers are there in the four routes? (150 yuan)

4. The best strategy for the four routes. (200 yuan / piece, package price 700 yuan)

5.…

Sure enough, the price is clearly marked, and the old man is not deceived =_=

However, compared to the other two, there are only six items and one remark in the level category. The content only takes up half a page, leaving a large blank space, which is not very coordinated.

"Why is there only half a sheet of paper in the level class?" Xu Wang asked Mao Qiping with his head down.

"I only submitted two papers in total," Mao Qiping said with a face that "life is not easy." "The remaining three levels of information were bought and sold."

Xu Wang was puzzled: "Can't the information after the fifth pass come back?"

Mao Qiping shook his head.

"At first glance, you're not a big business," Xu Wang sighed, "Since you're in this business, you have to be willing to spend money."

Mao Qiping also sighed: "It's not about money."

Xu Wang was stunned.

Mao Qi looked up at him: "Those who can make it to the fifth level are determined to die, and no one is willing to sell the level information and strategy that they exchanged for their lives day and night for a little money. Because he sold me the information, I will definitely sell it to other passers-by, and then everyone passed the pass smoothly, and ran to the front to compete with him, wouldn't it be more difficult to pass the pass?"

Xu Wang did not expect this level, or rather, what he had experienced, had not given him such a tangible and suffocating sense of "the road ahead".

"If you pass the twenty-three levels, you will be freed, so you don't need to come back here?" Xu Wang asked if there were no problems in the outline.

"I don't know, no, it should be said that no one knows." Mao Qiping smiled bitterly, "I've been here for a year, and the best team I've seen on the leaderboard has only reached the thirteenth level."

"Only thirteen levels?" Xu Wang's heart sank.

"Yes, you will see it when the list opens." Mao Qiping said.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, so thick that Mao Qiping's face could not be seen clearly from the boat.

Mao Qiping hurriedly pulled with the telescopic rod, as if this would make the fog spread out a little: "Actually, uncertainty is not necessarily a bad thing. Uncertainty means it is possible. This is also the most important belief of those warriors who persist in breaking out."

Xu Wang raised his eyebrows: "Don't think you can fool us into paying us by wearing a 'warrior' top hat secretly."

"I said so much information about Endless Sea just now, how sincere I am," Mao Qiping raised his voice so as not to be blocked by the thick fog and not reach the customers' ears, "If it tastes good, just buy some—"

"..." The heaviness that Xu Wang had just felt was dispelled by this voice again.

Exchange of information, listening to the high-end foreign style and high-end things, even if it is not a typhoon in the Infernal Affairs, at least get a mysterious secret code suspense style, what the hell is this melon, fruit, pear and peach trading style! ! !
