People at Sea: I Rely on Hints to Become a Big Shot

When Shen Jue woke up, she found herself adrift on the vast ocean. Beneath her was a small wooden raft, and in her hand, a fishing rod. Feeling utterly bewildered, Shen Jue looked at the boundless ...

Chapter 217: Mission Progress Increases, Li Shucheng is Not So Satisfied (2/2)

Seeing Yang Kele raise his knife, ready to cut the chains and ropes binding him, the evil creature was overjoyed.

But it didn't dare to show it. Compared to its predecessors who died quickly, it had been sealed here and had lived for so long, so it must have some special abilities.

Before it could wait any longer, its head was struck by a blade.

If its head hadn't been hard enough, it would have been cleaved in two by this knife.

Why? Why would the evil slaves, who should be under its control, defy its orders and try to kill it?

The evil creatures didn't know what was going on, but Yang Kele and the others did, because they were wearing the isolation and control contact lenses that Shen Jue had given them.

Colored contact lenses, when worn, do not appear to change one's appearance, but can actually prevent mind control and psychological influence.

It is a very portable small portable device.

Back when I was selling resources, I bought all kinds of materials, so I collected this novelty item. This thing is probably a player-made equipment or weapon.

Perhaps that player has strong mental strength and doesn't need such a useless piece of equipment, so they just casually put it up for sale in the store.

Then Shen Jue acquired it at a discounted price.

Shen Jue put many of his treasures into his pocket; they were quite a few strange and wonderful things.

Shen Jue always felt that those things would come in handy sooner or later, just like this time.

Thanks to the colored contact lenses provided by Shen Jue, Yang Kele managed to escape the control of the evil creature.

Since it is out of control, the greatest psychological impact has been resolved.

Without saying a word, the five of them immediately took action, each using their strongest attack techniques.

They were directed at evil beings.

The evil creature, which had originally planned to escape and cause a great disturbance, died a miserable death at the hands of the five of them.

With the death of the evil creatures, their team's quest progress increased by 5, and they are currently at 7.

It seems that not every cleared target adds one point to the progress. More difficult targets, for example, add progress much faster.

It seems they didn't waste their time today; they've made at least five progress points.

It's much faster than they've been rushing.

The group that successfully eliminated their target was in high spirits.

Their joy was short-lived; they immediately headed to the next red dot.

As for eating, a major life event, we just grab something quick and easy while traveling. The reason we don't cook over a fire is simply because the environment here doesn't allow it.

The hidden sea is fraught with danger. If you dare to light a fire and cook here, there's always someone watching you, not just the next day.

They'll wait until you're weak and then attack.

They wouldn't do something that would just cause them trouble.

Before entering the secret realm, Lu Qingyuan informed them to prepare more dry rations.

However, the dry rations they prepared, which they didn't want to waste time on, didn't look very appetizing.

They were used to this kind of life and didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but after seeing the dry food that Shen Jue had prepared, they suddenly felt that their fine grain pancakes with chili sauce didn't taste so good anymore.

Look at what they are eating, and then look at the dry rations that Shen Jue is eating.

The dry rations they ate were not nutritious, but they filled their stomachs. Shen Jue, on the other hand, ate vegetable pancakes that were both meat and vegetables, and they were piping hot.

It looks so appetizing.

They were too embarrassed to accept the food, and regretted not preparing more good food when they prepared the dry rations.

Shen Jue pretended not to see it; preparing delicious food was a basic procedure before entering the secret realm.

Anyone can prepare delicious dry rations if they put their mind to it.

This time she only brought enough dry food for one person.

Because she didn't know when the secret realm would close, she prepared enough food for half a year.

In addition to dry food, there are also all kinds of cooked food.

That's enough for her to eat for a long time.

Seeing how delicious Shen Jue's food was, the group took out some fruit and drinks to eat and drink.

Because of the Sky Arena, the food they prepare can be preserved for a long time.

Although it lacks nutritional value, it's not so bad that you can't eat it.

After this little incident at dinner.

They decided that after leaving the secret sea realm, wherever they went in the future, they would prepare delicious and plentiful food.

Because you can't mistreat your stomach, no matter what.

They rushed to the next red dot location.

As luck would have it, we ran into the same group again.

When they met again, the other party still didn't notice them, but this time they found their target ahead of time.

They arrived too late; the target had already been eliminated by their squad.

In the end, Shen Jue and the others had no choice but to abandon this location and move on to other red dot locations.

If you encounter it once or twice, it's just a coincidence. But if you encounter it a third time, it's no longer a coincidence. This team likely knows the location of the red dot.

If that's the case, then they can't afford to delay any longer; the competition is fierce!

If any target on the island is eliminated, their mission progress will decrease by one.

They really wanted to know what would happen if they achieved 100 goals.

Therefore, they must get ahead of these people.

Upon arriving at the next red dot location, I encountered the same couple again.

They fell silent; by the time they found the couple, they had already moved.

Given their speed, it's impossible for us to be slower than them, so why is it this group that arrived here first?

Could it be that these people possess teleportation techniques unknown to them?

Shen Jue was overthinking this idea, because with her Eagle Eye ability, she could clearly see that the team member was holding a summoning warrant.

It must have been someone from their team who stayed behind to prevent others from stealing the target.

Once they have cleared out the other targets, they are immediately recalled.

Therefore, while they were on their way, the group had already arrived here and eliminated another target.

This isn't their fault; it's just that they didn't think of this and didn't cooperate separately.

Because at their speed, clearing out the targets separately would be quite quick.

However, finding a target is also very time-consuming, so the two are actually about the same in comparison.

"Should we send someone to keep an eye on them? If there are any developments, they can report them in the chat at any time."

"I think it's a good idea."

“Then I’ll stay. I can scout ahead; they definitely won’t find me,” Zhao Keke volunteered.

She loved sharing this task and developing this investigative skill because she was very patient.

The six-person team was reduced to a five-person team, leaving Zhao Keke to keep watch here while the others moved to other positions.

This time they went all out, rushing to the next red dot location as quickly as possible.

Shen Jue was the first to arrive at this target location; it was good that no one else was there.

After arriving, we waited for a while before we heard other people's footsteps.

“Leave one of these target locations, and we’ll find two more red-marked locations. Then, Lu Qingyuan will use a summons to recruit us there so we can work together to eliminate the target.”

No one objected to this allocation.

They carried it out, and Zuo Zuo was the one who stayed at this location this time.

Zuo Zuo is a fairly reliable person, and she often comes up with ideas that others wouldn't think of.

There won't be any major problems if she stays here to keep watch.

You can confidently leave it to her to do.

Shen Jue and Lu Qingyuan led the others to the next target location.

When they arrived at the target point, it really affected their mood, because they spotted the same group from before.

It's confirmed; that team definitely has the location information for the red dot. Otherwise, they wouldn't have appeared here so precisely.

I wonder if these two people know as much information as they do, and if they do.

Things started to get complicated.

It's as if they're competing with this team, which is very likely a dictator's squad, every single moment.

Dictators are ruthless, cruel to others, and even more so to themselves. They usually stop at nothing to survive.

Generally speaking, if a dictator's teammates die, he won't die!

They can't possibly harm a potentially innocent player just because of a baseless suspicion.

Shen Jue will not take action against them unless he is 100% certain that there is a dictator in this team.

This is Shen Jue's bottom line in life; she never intentionally hurts others unless that person has the intention to harm her.

Once they determine that there is a dictator in that squad, they will kill that dictator.

This can be considered as making a small contribution to human players.

When Shen Jue saw their faces, he skillfully opened the chat interface and saw the message Zhao Keke had sent a minute earlier.

Zhao Keke: Brother Lu, Sister Chen, all five people I was observing have been teleported away. They must have been teleported to other locations. Be careful, don't let them find out!

Shen Jue: Okay! Be careful over there. If there's any danger on your end, just call us in.

Zhao Keke: No problem, I'm exploring the other red dot locations. Once you're done, you can come over here. We'll divide the work and work together; our progress will definitely be faster than theirs. I don't believe they can take screenshots like us!

Li Shucheng and the others did not take screenshots, but he did remember quite a few of the red dots in his mind, at least fifty or sixty, if not seventy or eighty.

With his exceptional mental strength, memorizing these things in a short time is a piece of cake for him; this is nothing.

Currently, thanks to their tireless efforts, their team's progress has reached task 8.

Li Shucheng was not very satisfied with this progress.

According to his plan, he should have been able to resolve these objectives much faster, but unfortunately, his randomly matched teammates were simply unhelpful. Although he could perfectly control them, Li Shucheng had to complain about how incredibly inefficient they were!

They won't move unless you urge them; they're the kind of people who only move when you tell them to.

They never think proactively or solve problems; they just execute orders with an empty mind, which makes it very unfulfilling for the person in charge to control them.

Perhaps he can control those players who are slightly more skilled. Once that idea takes hold, it will be difficult to go back!
