Time flies, and soon it was five o'clock in the afternoon.
The last rays of the setting sun shone on the cruise ship.
The [Turn Enemies into Friends] skill has a three-hour cooldown period after each use. The captain is in the command center, a place that is difficult for anyone other than the crew to infiltrate.
Therefore, Yu Xiangnan planned to recruit crew members first, and then take the opportunity to sneak into the command center, so that even if he failed, he could still get away unscathed.
They finally caught two patrolling crew members, but unfortunately, they failed to recruit them.
However, she also kept an eye on the real-time points leaderboard during this period.
She discovered that her points would increase every time she entered a new area. For example, when she entered the floors that only club members could enter, the system would notify her that her points had increased.
This means that you can earn points by exploring cruise ships.
At this moment, the cooldown of [Turn Enemy into Friend] ended again, and she found another crew member to use the skill on.
Even though it's only a 5%, I still hope to succeed at least once... otherwise, it will be too late if I wait until tonight.
[Tip]: Recruitment successful
Yu Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief.
However, she also noticed that the crew member seemed somewhat flustered.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"
The crew immediately explained, "We just detected a tornado..."
"The captain has just called all the crew to the conference room to discuss countermeasures. We are closely monitoring the tornado's movement, while reinforcing and protecting important equipment and supplies, and inspecting all parts of the cruise ship to ensure there are no vulnerabilities."
"Fortunately, we discovered it early and adjusted the cruise ship's course and speed in time to avoid the center of the tornado. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to successfully avoid the tornado."
Yu Xiangnan pursed his lips, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is about to happen.
She's obsessed with tornadoes, isn't she?
However, encountering a tornado on land and encountering a tornado at sea are two completely different situations.
Generally speaking, when you see large patches of dark clouds gathering in a swirling manner, with the cloud base showing a downward trend, or when the wind direction changes drastically without warning, and winds from different directions colliding with each other on the sea surface, these are dangerous signs of an approaching tornado.
But if it really comes to that, all the players will react and scramble to grab the lifeboats, life jackets, and life rings.
Putting aside the issue of trust, this cruise ship is definitely going to be destroyed.
Coupled with the crew member's classic remark, she became even more certain of this.
Yu Xiangnan thought for a moment and then asked the crew member, "Do you know where the lifeboats are?"
The crew member nodded.
After receiving the answer, Yu Xiangnan asked him to procure a set of crew uniforms. Unfortunately, due to the impending tornado, the lifeboats on the cruise ship were under tight security, and she had to go to great lengths to steal a small lifeboat.
Besides lifeboats, you could also try to get some life jackets and life rings.
There are just four or five card slots left in the card album. When the tornado officially hits, I might be able to use these items to make some trades with other players.
Yu Xiangnan observed that an hour ago, most players were running around like headless flies, either studying how to obtain points or guessing what natural disasters they would encounter in this dungeon so as to prepare in advance.
Later, some gluttonous girl couldn't resist taking a bite of the buffet food. After finding no problem, the players all flocked into the buffet restaurant and began to eat to their hearts' content.
The scene was quite spectacular.
So there's no one on deck right now.
Yu Xiangnan arrived near the cruise ship deck, found the designated storage area for lifesaving equipment, and had just picked up two life jackets and a life ring when he heard a gasp behind him.
"You...you, Yu Xiangnan, you're the 'Most Popular Butt' boss!"
Yu Xiangnan froze.
You can't just shout out your online name.
She turned her head and opened the person's profile at the same time.
Name: Li Erniu (ID: H0)
Title: I'll be fine after a good night's sleep
Level: 14
Li Erniu looked at the life ring and life jacket in her hands and asked curiously, "Boss, why are you carrying these things?"
Yu Xiangnan didn't panic. Instead, he smiled mysteriously and said, "Everyone has their little quirks. Some people like the smell of new books, some like black stockings, some like picking at scabbed scars, and some have cross-dressing fetishes, gerontophilia, or masochism..."
"I nearly drowned when I was a child, so I like to collect life rings and the like, because it makes me feel safer."
"You know what I mean, right?"
Li Erniu: "......"
A deathly silence.
Wait, what did the big shot just say?
Li Erniu's brain went blank for a moment.
However, he quickly brainwashed himself.
Yes, the expert is right. It's just a little quirk, isn't it? He has one too, though it's not collecting lifebuoys or life jackets.
Li Erniu patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, 'Red Butt' boss, I'll protect your secret. I may not have much else, but I'm all about loyalty!"
Yu Xiangnan: "......"
Is this person playing with abstract concepts or do they actually believe it?
She never expected that her talk therapy would actually be successful.
Seven hours later.
On the horizon, a giant wave surged and roared, while at the same time, a terrifying tornado formed on the sea surface at an extremely fast speed, like a raging dragon twisting its body wildly.
The wind pillar connects heaven and earth, carrying a heart-pounding power.
A natural disaster has struck!
The enormous cruise ship appeared so small and fragile at that moment. Waves crashed against it, causing the entire ship to rock violently, as if it might fall apart at any moment.
The people on the cruise ship were terrified by the sudden disaster.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the instinct for survival spurred them into a frantic escape. Some stumbled and rushed toward the interior of the cabin, trying to find a relatively safe corner; others ran desperately toward the edge of the deck, seemingly wanting to jump into the sea in search of a chance at survival.
Yu Xiangnan calmly observed the tornado's trajectory and was preparing to take action when a light blue notification box suddenly popped up without warning.
