Chapter 58 Ocean Survival 7

Chapter Fifty-Eight

"Everyone, please don't be impulsive. We are all compatriots. Let's sit down and talk it over. I believe the owner of the Sanqi shop is not an unreasonable person."

"Brother Tan, you can try to reason with her, but she might not listen. Look how long it's been since she last spoke."

Tan? Lin Xia remembered that after the first game ended, someone named Tan Mingquan said he wanted to attack the red-named player, but she blocked him. She didn't know if it was this person.

"Yeah, she's too arrogant. Does she think that none of us can do anything about her?"

"Arrest her and torture her severely; I don't believe she won't talk."

......

After some discussion, Brother Tan finally reassured him, "How about this, let's sit down and have a proper talk."

"Who are you? Why should I listen to you?" someone protested.

“Our Brother Tan was one of the first gamers. He awakened his superpower in his very first game and is now the leader of our Pearl Gathering. Tell me why.”

"Are the first batch of players so great...?"

"That's amazing! The first batch of players got 3 points more in every attribute every time they entered the game."

"That's a lie, isn't it?"

"It might be true. I entered the second round, and every attribute increased by two points in the last game."

"Does having higher attributes mean you're more powerful?"

"Of course."

"The owner of that little shop also sells attribute cards. She was one of the first players, so her attributes..."

"I'm asking you all, has any of you bought attribute cards from her?"

The group looked at each other, none of them having actually bought it before.

"Let's all attack together. I refuse to believe that this protective shield has unlimited energy!" he said, and took the lead in attacking.

Those around looked and saw that many people were throwing water balloons, fireballs, ice balls, and even cannonballs at the protective shield. It seemed that most of the people who came were people with superpowers.

Lin Xia looked at it and saw that a ball could reduce a little energy, but ordinary shells had no effect and didn't reduce energy. She wondered if the more powerful shells would be different.

"Alright, everyone, give me some face and don't ruin the harmony. Let's sit down and talk properly. Ms. Sanqi, could you come out and let's talk together?" Tan Mingquan smiled calmly with the corners of his mouth turned up.

Lin Xia finally understood; they just wanted her to get out of the protective shield. If she hadn't backed up so many things, she wouldn't have bothered listening to their arguing.

“I also have a protective shield here to ensure your safety. If you are not at ease, we can come to your place to talk. I don’t mind and I am willing to take the risk.” Tan Mingquan said sincerely.

"Yes, our boss is just too kind-hearted; he can't stand seeing people shouting and killing."

"Yes, we are all facing the end of the world, so we should cooperate wholeheartedly and share information."

......

The people on Tan Mingquan's ship were all shouting from inside the protective shield, and the profound principles they spoke resonated with those around them.

"Talking about big shots is selfless."

"Yeah, can she compare to Brother Quan?"

"Yes, unlike some people who are incredibly selfish and only think about themselves."

......

Knowing his purpose, Lin Xia felt it was pointless; the group of people seemed to have fewer props than Ji Wei alone.

Moreover, this Tan Mingquan is very hypocritical. Lin Xia moved her mental energy and an elemental card appeared in her hand. Then she exchanged for two more, both of which were water-type.

She hadn't yet experienced what water systems were like in this world. With a thought, the seawater around Tan Mingquan's settlement began to swirl violently, waves crashed, and screams erupted from the ship.

Water columns, several meters high, rose up around Lin Xia's boat, sweeping across her surroundings. Everyone was terrified, never knowing that superpowers could be so terrifying.

Terrified, they hurriedly retreated. If they were too slow, the water jets would smash the boats to pieces. Those people fell into the sea, crying and screaming. The remaining people retreated even faster. If the boats were destroyed, people would die!

Tan Mingquan's gathering place suffered a huge blow. They were indeed unaffected by the impact while inside the protective shield, but the rafts and boats tied to the surrounding area were instantly shattered by the seawater.

Because of its large size, it retreated very slowly, and all around it were broken pieces of wood.

Tan Mingquan's calm expression finally crumbled, but he clearly hadn't expected her superpower to be so terrifying. He thought she was just benefiting from the props or having a cheat code.

Although his fire-based abilities were not weak, they were far inferior to this force. Could they really be that much weaker? He felt a pang of regret, realizing he shouldn't have expressed his opinion so early.

It's unclear whether forming a settlement meant that people wouldn't die if the ship shattered. Aside from frantically urging Tan Mingquan to retreat, the people didn't seem to despair.

Lin Xia conjured a water dragon and sent it hurtling towards Tan Mingquan's protective shield. The dragon crashed into the shield with a series of booming sounds, but even after using up an elemental card, the shield remained unchanged. However, Lin Xia knew that the shield's defensive energy was definitely decreasing.

He exchanged for another wind-type card, which caused a gust of wind to rise and, along with a water column, to rush towards Tan Mingquan's protective shield, but the power was still not great.

She simply drew all the energy from the wind element card, creating a hurricane on the sea. Several people inside the protective shield were instantly swept away and fell into the sea.

The docking points of the surrounding boats were teetering on the brink of collapse, and several more wooden boats were seen flying away.

Tan Mingquan stared at Lin Xia with bloodshot eyes, but he could only hold on tightly to the railing to keep from being blown away, surrounded by terrified cries.

The strong winds blew debris everywhere, and people who hadn't run far were hit by flying nails and planks. Some were killed instantly and fell into the sea, while some ships were severely damaged.

Suddenly, the entire fleet vanished from sight. Lin Xia frowned. Was it a large-scale prop or a function inherent to the gathering place?

In just two minutes, all the ships around Lin Xia disappeared. The people who came to attack Lin Xia hid in the distance, still in shock. When they saw the Mingzhu gathering place where they were fleeing, they ran even further away without stopping.

Lazy Cat patted his chest and steered the boat at breakneck speed: "Goodness, thank goodness I didn't go any closer, that was terrifying."

Watching some of the props tumble and sink to the bottom of the sea, Lin Xia frowned. It was a pity, but in the vast ocean, she couldn't possibly go down one by one to look for them.

Putting away the elemental cards, Lin Xia felt very satisfied. Water and wind elements were almost invincible in this ocean survival world. The energy that could be used at will was definitely many times that on land.

Lin Xia asked in the group chat, "Did you awaken your superpowers by using superpower awakening cards?"

Ji Wei: "Yes, I only found out after I left the game that there are still people who cannot awaken their superpowers."

Xie Cheng: "Me too. In the game, I also thought that as long as you had an awakening card, you could awaken."

Lazy Cat: "Me too, oh my god, I was so scared just now. Look, this is the video I filmed, it's so damn cool! When will I be able to use my superpowers like this? No wonder you're the owner of Sanqi Shop."

Ji Wei: "Didn't you go to the front?"

Lazy Cat: "I'm the kind of person who listens to advice!"

......

Ji Wei laughed, "You have no idea what you've missed." Then, thinking about it again, he laughed even harder. In the last game, everyone was covered up tightly, and Lazy Cat had never seen what Seventh Sister looked like. He didn't recognize Seventh Sister!
