The Eternal Tower, fifteenth floor.
"Today is a great day for going out, my friend!"
A smiling businessman followed beside Ye Bai, introducing...
"You have excellent taste! Our ships are the best of the three islands. St. Mary's Port will not disappoint you!"
As he spoke, he began to introduce the types of ships he owned to Ye Bai.
"Bronze, Silver, Gold, Flying, Cobra..."
Ye Bai raised his hand, interrupting the merchant's introduction.
"I need the Sharp Blade. Get the ship out here and leave port in five minutes."
The merchant feigned surprise and exclaimed,
"Sharp Blade, oh my god!"
That's the fastest ship on the entire ocean; no one dares to challenge that arrogant beast!
Ye Bai tossed over a small bag of gold coins, then turned and left.
"6,000 gold coins. If this isn't enough to shut you up, I'll try my staff. Don't waste my time."
On the fifteenth floor,
Buying a ship, recruiting crew, and going on sea adventures all require players to do everything themselves.
The good news is that although the exploration progress of the fifteenth floor will be reset to zero every day,
However, the entire map will not be reset.
Everything that has happened leaves a trace.
Ye Bai spent 6,000 gold coins to buy the Sharp Blade, and the Sharp Blade has always been his ship.
certainly,
If a sea appeared in Ye Bai's private space, he could simply pack up the Blade and take it with him.
After buying the boat, you'll need crew members.
Ye Bai couldn't operate such a large ship by himself.
Ye Bai can persuade any NPC to become his crew member.
Everyone has potential conditions, and once those conditions are met, they will agree to the invitation.
However, Ye Bai focused more on the sea.
Only by setting sail can we achieve a higher level of exploration; everything done in the port is preparation.
So Ye Bai chose an easier way – hiring someone from a bar.
Hiring takes less time, but the loyalty of the crew is not guaranteed, and they may betray their employer at any time.
Similarly, Ye Bai's obligation to protect his hired crew members is weaker.
If a crew member betrays Ye Bai, killing him could even increase Ye Bai's exploration progress!
Pushing open the louvered door, a panorama of human life slowly unfolds in the dimly lit tavern.
As the only bar in Port Sainte-Marie
This place is a gathering place for the city's alcoholics and female freelancers.
The environment is complex and diverse, with a constant stream of talented and extraordinary individuals.
For a fleeting moment, Ye Bai felt as if he had returned to the wolf's den.
Unfortunately, Xue Meng didn't invite Ye Bai for a drink.
Ye Bai jumped onto the nearest empty table and shouted loudly,
"I want to recruit ten crew members to go to sea with me."
A whistle came from the corner, and a young woman said in a seductive voice.
"Handsome young man, for half a gold coin, I'll let you go out to sea however you want."
A seemingly inappropriate remark caused the entire bar to erupt in laughter.
Ye Bai wasn't annoyed by the teasing.
That's the atmosphere here; being joked about is actually a sign of acceptance.
Once the laughter subsided a bit, Ye Bai spoke again.
"I will set sail in search of the mermaid's treasure!"
brush--
The laughter vanished instantly, and all eyes turned to Ye Bai, most of them sinister and fixed on him.
Anyone else would feel uneasy just being stared at like that.
Ye Bai, on the contrary, acted as if nothing had happened, looking around for suitable crew members.
Behind the bar, a bartender sneered.
"The mermaid's treasure is fake."
"fart!"
One of the hook-wielding pirates retorted, "Mermaids definitely exist!"
"To find the mermaid's treasure, you need wisdom, strength, courage, and luck!"
In the corner, an old man seemed to have been triggered by unpleasant memories. He trembled as he picked up his wine glass and said in a shaky voice,
"You must traverse a death zone, race against the ocean's ruler, and battle the raging winds amidst towering waves..."
"Without a good ship, it would be impossible to do all this."
Most people were skeptical of Ye Bai's declaration to "find the mermaid treasure".
Even those who intend to act will not take action so quickly.
Ye Bai spoke again,
"I bought the Blade."
Sharp Blade!
These three words instantly caused a stir in the tavern.
"Are you crazy? Sailing that ship out of port is tantamount to suicide!"
"A ship without cannons, without a reinforced hull, existing solely for speed, would sink at the slightest collision or attack."
"Reefs, storms, sea monsters, pirates... my old friend, the sea is not your living room. For your own life, go back."
A captain with many years of sailing experience smiled and shook his head.
"Kid, you shouldn't be recruiting crew members, you should be recruiting priests."
At least the priest can pray for you and comfort your soul in heaven.
Ignoring the sarcastic remarks, Ye Bai concluded.
"We're leaving in 5 minutes, and I'm only hiring 10 crew members."
After saying that, he jumped off the table, ordered a glass of rum at the front desk, and waited for the right crew member to deliver it to him.
The search for the mermaid's treasure, the Blade.
These two conditions will deter the vast majority of people; no one would joke about their own life.
At the same time, it will also attract a small group of truly capable people, which is exactly what Ye Bai needs.
Ye Bai's goal is 100% exploration.
The Blade is the fastest and most suitable for Ye Bai, saving most of the travel time.
