Chapter 70: Floating Shark
"Huh?" Uesugi Asuka asked in confusion, "You said it's over?"
Her scarlet dragon eyes stared at the pirate captain who was climbing out of the wasteland. The deck under his feet was broken and charred, as if it would collapse at any time, and the railing behind him was destroyed beyond any trace.
"Yes, it's over."
Anson Lu put his hands behind his head. He listened to the system prompt sounds that kept ringing in his ears. He couldn't help but curl his lips, "This is really fun, Crybaby Dragon, remember not to roll your eyes."
[After 20 seconds of growth, the attributes of the floating fish in the tank have changed subtly - Strength: 38→40; Agility: 38→40; Intelligence: 0→0]
"When did I allow you to call me 'Crying Dragon', you..."
Asuka Uesugi frowned, and her voice stopped abruptly halfway through her words.
[The floating fish in the tank has grown to its full size, and the floating shark is about to appear. 】
"Bang!!!"
At this moment, the sound of the fish tank breaking was heard, followed by a deafening roar.
"roar!!!"
It was a giant black shark with a body length of nearly four meters. Its body was surrounded by gray light, and its exposed fangs were as sharp as steel blades, as if it could bite through a telephone pole with ease.
[Chess name: Floating Crazy Shark]
[Chess type attributes - Strength: 43 (chessboard bonus); Agility: 40; Intelligence: 0]
"You've only grown in height but not in brains, right?" Anson Lu complained as he looked at the abrupt Zero.
[It is detected that the chessboard you are using is the Ice Sea chessboard, so the main attributes and life value of the floating shark are slightly improved]
"An increase of 3 points..." Anson put his hand on his chin, "It's not bad."
"No, what is this?" Asuka Uesugi was stunned for a moment. She stared with her scarlet eyes and said, "Hey, Anson Lu, you never told me that you had this thing!"
She never knew Anson Deer had this skill.
A four-meter shark! Just from the appearance, its strength completely crushed her and the pirate captain! The dark light lingering on the shark's body was as terrifying as a black hole.
"Ah, didn't I tell you about this yesterday afternoon?"
"when?"
"broadcast."
"Who knows what you were talking about at that time!"
"No, you are a dragon. It's ok for you to be afraid of ghosts, but you are also afraid of sharks?"
"roll!"
"I will make you..." The pirate captain, who had transformed into a ghost body, stood up angrily, "You will all pay the price!"
"Floating Shark, use your skills on this idiot - bite him to pieces!" Anson Lu curled his lips, "Get out of here, you're still paying this price, your health is already a fucking candle in the wind."
"roar!!!"
The next moment, the gray shark suddenly jumped up.
The dark light seemed to hold its body back against gravity, allowing it to float and fly freely in the air.
It broke through the sky filled with sea fog, like a gray-black spiral airplane cloud, and violently rushed towards the pirate captain who had just stood up, opening its huge bloody mouth and biting at his neck.
“Puff!”
Not to mention the neck, the pirate captain's entire head was bitten to pieces in an instant.
“Uhh—”
The pirate captain's head and body were separated.
Its head was swallowed into the mouth of the floating shark, and its body staggered forward a few steps, then fell to the ground dimly like a firefly whose light had been extinguished.
"How could this be? This is a floating shark, a monster from the ownerless sea, that kind of monster..." The pirate captain's head was still in the floating shark's mouth, mumbling something in shock:
“Impossible, this is impossible. Among the tens of thousands of floating fish, only one can possibly grow into a floating shark. How could it appear here? How could it... Ugh!”
The captain's voice came to an abrupt halt as the wild plankton shark used its teeth to completely crush its head, leaving no residue at all, and finally it turned into bloody pieces and was swallowed into its throat.
"Woo huh..." Anson Deer felt relieved. "I wonder if eating the boss will increase my attributes. If a shark with 50 strength comes, I can just play the evolution game like 'big fish eat small fish'."
He really hopes there is a chess game that can evolve sustainably, the kind that can increase its attributes by swallowing players or monsters.
If this kind of chess really exists, it can be carried directly from the beginning of the game to the end, and it would not be surprising if it swallowed the white dragon in Tokyo in one gulp.
"I..." Asuka Uesugi was stunned.
"You, what's wrong with you? Crybaby, you didn't get PTSD from being scared by the shark, did you?" Anson Lu was puzzled.
Asuka wanted to say something but couldn't. In the end, she just held her swollen forehead.
"Okay, I really admire you."
Anson Lu seemed to be more than ten times stronger than she had imagined, a hundred times, a thousand times, or even... It was not an exaggeration to say that he stood at the pinnacle of combat power in the entire world.
【Final Strike!!!】
[Boss Pirate Captain's HP: 13% → 0%]
[Current damage ratio panel]
[NO.1——Anson Deer (former chess player): [Damage accounts for 89%]★MVP]
[NO.2——Uesugi Asuka (Scarlet Dragon Wing): Damage accounts for 11%]
[The damage detection phase and comprehensive effect settlement phase have ended. Congratulations to the Chinese player "Anson Lu" for winning the MVP of the [Return to Titanic] dungeon boss battle! ! ! ]
[The ghost pirate ship will collapse in 20 minutes. Please evacuate the ship as soon as possible and return to the Titanic. ]
"Please..." Asuka said, "It's only 11 percent. This is my first time and I'm so embarrassed."
She still remembered that in the dungeon boss battle in Shangshi City, she accounted for a full 80% of the output and undoubtedly won the MVP of the Shangshi dungeon.
Unexpectedly, when Anson Lu came here, she was left with only 11%.
Anson Lu smiled and said, "That's normal. After all, you bought me some time, which is a great contribution."
"Oh, the damage detection system won't say I'm 'credited'." Asuka said.
"There must be other calculation mechanisms. Otherwise, what about tanks and healers? They won't get any rewards in boss battles. The amount of damage taken and the amount of healing done must also be taken into account."
"That's true..." Asuka still said listlessly.
"Anyway, thank you. Without you, I don't know how many times I would have died this time." Anson Lu recalled the scene where Asuka used her wings to block arrows for him, and touched his nose with his hand.
Asuka pouted, "So, why are you ranked 11th in the global rankings?"
"Well, why not?" Anson Lu said, "You have to ask the system. I don't know how it arranges it."
In fact, he knew very well that when calculating combat power, he had not used evolution coins to strengthen himself, so compared with other players, he had a decisive disadvantage in the global combat power calculation.
Uesugi Asuka put her hands on her hips and said unhappily:
"First of all, I was ranked 7th. The 9th one was in the same copy as me, and he was far behind you."
"Thank you very much." Anson Lu said calmly, "So, isn't there a third step?"
"Yes, but what could it be? The bosses have all been defeated."
Asuka hugged her shoulders, looked away and gazed into the distance.
The sea is vast and the sky is clear.
The sun emerged from behind the clouds and cast its bright light on the boundless sea. The ice floes rose and fell under the impact of the tides, yet they were still shining brightly.
[Congratulations to all players for successfully challenging the second stage of the [Return to Titanic] dungeon. The third stage will begin in half an hour, so please be ready. ]
[The name of the third segment is: The Iceberg Reappears. ]
[The rewards for the Boss Battle will be settled after the third phase.]
