Chapter 217 Dark Fang, Countdown, Blank Gift (asking for monthly ticket)
In the early morning of August 1st, the legendary whale moved.
It started from thousands of meters below the sea and slowly floated upwards. Its huge body swam in the dark and lightless deep ocean. Soon after, it smashed the floating moon reflected on the sea surface.
The moment it reached the sea surface, the moonlight penetrated the almost transparent whale skin, illuminating the sky of the box garden, and the sound of rippling waves enveloped the entire world.
On a rooftop of the floating castle, Yagubaru raised his head from the crystal ball and silently looked up at the night sky. The moonlight made the whale's belly sparkle, and the world seemed like a glowing glass ball.
A school of ochre-red flying fish slowly and leisurely spread across the sky like a sunset glow, and a piece of foam fell down and hit the glass of the crystal ball, making a "patter" sound.
It knew in its heart that this would be the last time it would see this scenery, not because it was about to leave its homeland and fly away, but because... it was about to eat this whale.
Yagubaru stuck out his tongue and licked his fangs.
Just as it was lost in thought, a black and blue prompt box suddenly popped up in front of its eyes.
[Completed the main mission 2 (Phase 2): Protect the third prince "Cesare" from the assassination of the first and second princes, and make the third prince "Cesare" survive until August 1.]
[Task rewards obtained: 1 attribute point, 1 skill point, 1 split point. ]
[Main Quest 2 has been updated to the "Final Stage": Defeat the "Royal Court Team" and leave the box garden with the third prince "Xizel". (Quest rewards: 2 attribute points, 2 skill points, 2 split points)]
Yagubaru swung his round tail, slapped the panel, silently called up his personal panel, and quickly distributed the attributes he had obtained.
[Unit 3 "Agubaru"'s "Strength" attribute changes from D+ to D++ (↑1 point)]
Then, it brought up the skill tree of Unit 3.
[Branch 1 (Emperor): Fang of Darkness (to be learned) (needs to consume “1” skill point to learn) → Unknown…]
[Branch 2 (Sea): Undercurrent (already learned) → Tsunami (to be learned) (3 skill points) (end of branch)]
"It's been a long time. I didn't expect that a good-for-nothing would need to develop skills." It muttered to itself.
[1 skill point has been consumed, and the skill of the branch "Emperor" - "Dark Fang" has been successfully acquired (after activation, your teeth will be attached with the power of elemental annihilation for a short period of time, and the wounds caused to the enemy can never be healed). ]
"Oh..." Yagubaru raised his eyebrows. "In other words, this skill can be used to restrain opponents with strong regeneration ability. As long as the 'Dark Fang' causes unhealable wounds, it doesn't matter how strong their self-regeneration ability is.
[The next skill of the branch "Emperor", "Death Dorsal Fin", has been opened for learning. 】
[The end of the skill tree branch "Emperor" has been reached.]
"Is it true that each branch only has two skills?" The little shark rested his chin with his fin, "Could it be that Shark Shark is Uzumaki Shark Man, who can travel the world with a Rasengan in his hand?"
After adding the skill, it activated the "Dark Fangs", raised its head with a mouthful of small blackened fangs, and said with an innocent and clear look:
"Li Qingping, let me take a bite and try."
"what?"
Li Qingping, who was sitting on the fence with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and turned to look at it.
"Let Shark try a new move." Yagubaru said, his face suddenly turned cold, and his eyes were as sharp as a battlefield veteran holding a cigar.
"Go find yourself a piece of iron to chew on."
Yagubaru suddenly stopped talking. It soon discovered that even the seawater evaporated quickly when it touched its "Dark Fang".
This shows how terrifying this move is, but the problem is that the "Dark Fang" only lasts for five seconds, and its row of small black teeth quickly turns white.
"Speaking of which... in a few hours, the legendary whale will land in Norway." Yagubaru said, "I didn't expect that even at this time, Xizel is sleeping soundly, without any sense of crisis. Should we say this is the duality of the blackened elementary school student?"
It retracted its Dark Fang, turned its head, and silently looked at the white-haired, blue-eyed young man in the bedroom. He was sleeping on the bed with a tired look on his face, and his sleep seemed to be struggling slightly.
"He was just a child," Li Qingping said, "but you led him astray."
"How did I lead him astray?" Yagubaru said, "Isn't it that you have done more?"
"It's pretty good actually," Li Qingping shrugged. "I've watched him grow up, and I've always hoped that he could be more independent and aggressive, so that he wouldn't be suppressed by his two older brothers. Now everything happened too suddenly, and it's good that he didn't collapse."
"Hey, stop talking about others. What are you going to do next?" Yagubaru said, "After Shark Shark eats the big whale, everyone will have to leave the box garden. Do you still want to stay with Xizel?"
Li Qingping sat on the fence of the rooftop, lowered his eyes, looked at the night silently, and shook his head.
"No... Since the Little Garden World is destroyed, no one will chase after Xizel. I should go back to school and study normally."
"What's so fun about going to school?" Yagubaru said, "Sharksha has never been to school, but he is still full of knowledge and ink, even if it is ink sprayed by squids."
"The fun is when... you have friends with you."
"What friend could be more interesting than Shark?" Yagubaru said, "Why don't you come and be Shark's thug, explore the ocean world with Shark, and write a book called 'Tens of Thousands of Leagues Under the Sea: Shark's Golden Gourmet Road' later."
"Speaking of which, I sometimes feel that the tone and intonation of your speech are a bit like that of my friend." Li Qingping said calmly, "And then I feel it's very funny, as if my sultry friend suddenly goes crazy in front of me."
"What? It's actually substitute literature?" Little Shark lowered his face, narrowed his eyes, and pointed a fin at him. "I'm warning you, Shark is Shark! Shark is unique, not like any of your friends."
Li Qingping said with emotion: "But you two are a little bit alike, I don't know how to put it..."
"Sharkshark is the aristocrat among sharks. What kind of low-level creature is your friend?" Yagubaru shook his head. "In front of Sharkshark, he is just a bug, a big moth."
"I'll let him meet you when there's a chance. His tongue is much more poisonous than mine, so you better be careful."
"Does he know you are a strange news messenger?"
"I don't know yet." Li Qingping shook his head. "But I will tell him these things after I return to China. Anyway, the Whale Box Garden will be destroyed by then, so there is no need for me to keep it secret any longer."
"oh oh."
Yagubaru nodded and thought, that's great, I'll let Unit 1 tell you that he is actually Black Pupa, and see who will be more shocked when we reveal each other's identities.
As long as Gu Wenyu confesses his identity to Li Qingping, the corresponding main task can be carried out easily. After all, Li Qingping is different from his family and will not restrict his behavior. At most, he will complain about why you suddenly become so stuffy after putting on the mask.
"Li Qingping, are you curious about why Shark knows so much about the human world?"
"Racial talent?"
"That's not the case..." The little shark raised one of its fins and shook its head, "I'll tell you later."
"By the way, I have to take the monthly exam when I return to school in a month." Li Qingping said, "I haven't reviewed the materials for almost a month, can you help me out when you can't find them?"
"How can I help you?"
"You can hide in the drawer, look through the textbook and read the answers to me."
"Is there anything to eat for you?"
"There are many more foods in the human world, and they are rich and varied. Unlike the small garden, there is not even rice, only seafood and drinks. I don't even have the desire to eat here, and I just eat hastily every day."
"That's great, you give me food and I'll help you with things."
"make a deal?"
"make a deal."
"I can also take you to watch the fireworks and eat some rice cakes. During the Chinese New Year in Lijing, the streets are bustling with people, some people dress up as the Nian beast, and some people set off firecrackers. Earlier this year, Gu Wenyu and I sat on the beach watching the fireworks, drinking and chatting. After leaving this whale's belly, I realized how vast the world is. I think you can also leave the seabed and take a look."
"Sharks don't want to see fireworks, Sharks just want to eat."
"big eater."
"Trash."
Li Qingping was silent for a while: "If I die tomorrow, can you help me convey a message to my friends?"
"Oh?" Yagubaru pressed against the glass, staring at him. "If you say it, Shark will think you are doomed." He stretched out his fins. "Feed Shark fifty pieces of strange news fragments, and Shark will help you change your fate."
"I'm serious..." Li Qingping said, "If I die, Xizel will most likely not be able to escape. But you are different, you are a shark, if things really go wrong you can hide in the sea, the Wangting team won't be able to find you."
Yagubaru nodded: "That's true. Let alone the ocean outside, even if the sharks hide in the ocean of the whale box, they probably won't be able to find me."
"So, just do me a favor."
"Can't you tell them yourself after you survive? You're making it sound like you're entrusting me with my final wishes." Yagubaru said disdainfully, "So what message do you want me to convey? Which friend should I tell?"
"I only have one friend. He lives in Building 1501 of Guyimai Community. His name is 'Gu Wenyu'... If you find him, tell him that this is a gift from me."
As Li Qingping spoke, he called out the Atlas of Strange Stories, lowered his eyes, and found a strange card from it.
Looking closely, I saw that the front and back of the card were blank, just like a thinly chipped white brick.
"What the hell?" Yagubaru narrowed his eyes. "Shark Shark doesn't want to eat it even if it's free. It looks so unappetizing, like plain water."
"Lunch bucket, this isn't food for you to eat."
"What is this?"
"This is a fragment that I spent some time making myself. It is a kind of oddity fragment that ordinary people can use."
Yagubaru said suspiciously, "Are there any oddities that ordinary people can use?"
Li Qingping nodded. "When I was a kid, I thought that I would research a lot of fragments that ordinary people could use, not just the strange news users. This way, there would be no distinction between high and low. I have been researching whenever I have time these years."
"Then aren't the fragments you created lower-level than common-level anecdotes fragments?"
"It's quite low-level. The main reason is that I haven't mastered this technology yet, and no one will support me in researching this." Li Qingping shrugged. "The people in the box garden think that the Strange Stories Master is superior to others. Only the Strange Stories Master is qualified to use the Strange Stories Fragments, so my research is foolish to them."
"Okay then, give it to me."
Yagubaru controlled the dark water flow to push open the lid and poked his head out of the opening of the crystal ball.
“Don’t eat it.”
"It's just stored in my stomach. I can spit it out anytime if you ask me for it."
"Are you sure it won't be digested?"
"Won't."
Li Qingping hesitated for two seconds, then shrugged and threw the piece of strange news to Yagubaru.
Yagubaru opened his mouth and swallowed the fragment in one gulp, storing it in another area of his stomach, ensuring that the fragment would not be digested by the stomach fluid and could be spit out at any time.
"Then you have to do me a favor." It raised its head and stared at Li Qingping seriously.
"What's the matter?"
"Help Shark to rescue a good friend, his name is 'Ji Minghuan', he is trapped in a strange place." Little Shark was about to cry, wiping his tears with his fin, "He is Shark's only friend. Without him, Shark would have been dried up long ago."
"sure."
"real?"
"Really." Li Qingping smiled, "But the prerequisite is that we have to escape from this damn place first."
Yagubaru nodded.
The sound of the waves from the sea was getting louder and louder, almost drowning the whole world. Unconsciously, the night sky of the whale's garden had been replaced by a blood-like twilight.
Time passed quietly. Two hours before the legendary whale landed, Li Qingping woke up Xizel in advance and told him that the operation was about to begin. Xizel opened his eyes and nodded.
This may well be the last sunset of the Little Garden World. In about half an hour, the legendary whale Chicanao will land at the port of Bergen in Norway.
At the same time, the Norwegian time had arrived at midnight on August 1st, and the twelve members of the White Crow Brigade had been waiting at the Bryggen Pier for a long time.
Cesar tied her white hair into a ponytail and hung it behind her head, ready to go.
He took a deep breath and whispered, "I'm ready."
Li Qingping glanced at him and said, "When I was in high school, I also liked to wear braids. I was unique...but I was easily pulled over by the grade leaders for a talk."
"I learned from you." Xizel smiled, "It looks good this way."
The little shark in the crystal ball grinned and showed them a row of small fangs: "Let's go, follow Shark and make some trouble."
