Chapter 67 The Eve of Crisis
【Rain of Pear Blossom Needles (Tracking Version): After use, the needles will deflect towards the player's target (if the target is not a single player, they will remain as is). There is a chance to ignore the opponent's defense.】
Holy crap, isn't this a precision-guided miniature missile?
It's a small missile that carries poison and deals real damage.
The only drawback is that it can only be used once, and the poison needle needs to be reloaded after use.
If used properly, this thing will become her greatest weapon right now.
Mingzhao was so excited from the day's battle that he realized he hadn't even eaten lunch, and it was already evening.
She opened her private messages and found that her friends from the Milk Dragon Gang were all looking for her.
Pancake Dog: "Waaah, boss, where have you been? Why aren't you eating?"
Energetic Liu Laolao: "Boss, our ship has been upgraded, it's a pity you didn't see it."
The innocent-looking female monkey cried out, "Waaah, boss, come back soon! How can we live without you?"
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "I just went to the island, I didn't die."
"Your ships have all started upgrading, right? My navigation system shows that the solar storm will arrive in 12-14 hours."
He kicked the cripple's good leg repeatedly: "I should be the slowest; I only started leveling up two hours ago."
Beautiful Girl Warrior: "We've all upgraded, now we're just waiting for Sister Cripple."
Mingzhao's sense of crisis lessened considerably.
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannosaurus: "@JianbingDog, are you free tonight? Can you cook dinner for everyone tomorrow? The solar storm might disrupt the signal tomorrow, making it impossible to send supplies. I have a lot of ingredients here, you can use them first."
Unity of knowledge and action: "I have quite a few here too, I'll send them to you."
Pancake Dog: "No problem, boss! A piece of cake."
Cosmic Invincible Tyrannomon: "Everyone, check your progress. If you're about to be caught by the warning line, go all out tonight. Tomorrow you might be stuck in place and unable to move forward."
"Also, try to put away any fishing nets, robotic arms, or other external equipment on board."
Mingzhao tried hard to recall the pitfalls she and others had fallen into in her past life, hoping that the members of the Milk Dragon Gang would all be alright tomorrow.
Fortunately, the teammates she chose this time were all incredibly proactive.
The hunger that had been delayed all day finally surged up, and Mingzhao opened the lunch and dinner that Jianbing Gouzi had sent her.
[Player Pancake Dog is gifting you: Crab Leg and Egg Toast Sandwich*1, Thai Seafood Rice Noodles*1, Shrimp and Crab Wonton*1, Stuffed Bitter Melon*1, Taro Boba Milk Tea*1, Mixed Seafood Rice*1, Crystal Seafood Pudding*1]
After eating the side dish that boosted his attributes, his strength and stamina each increased by two points. It seems that Pancake Dog's chef level has improved again.
The remaining food was enough for two meals, but Mingzhao was so hungry she could eat a whole cow, and she felt she could finish it all.
As it turned out, she realized she had overestimated herself. In the end, half of the fried egg and crab leg toast sandwich and half of the shrimp and crab meat double-combination wonton ended up in Mimi's stomach, who had been pitifully watching from the side of the table.
From these dishes, Mingzhao received three buffs: an increase in luck for one hour, a +10 increase in strength for one hour, and an increase in environmental resistance for one hour.
Mingzhao hadn't tried this environmental resistance before, but she guessed it was for protecting against extreme weather.
To verify her guess, she went outside, and sure enough, the temperature outside was not so unbearable.
If you wear a water-cooling garment, you can basically avoid being affected by the high temperature.
All three buffs were applied at just the right time, and she planned to use the evening to go out and tidy up the things on the ship in preparation for the upcoming solar storm.
The beautiful and strong girl collected a large number of cable ties of varying lengths from the group chat and distributed them to everyone.
I don't know what material these cable ties are made of, but they're even stronger than the cable ties I see in everyday life.
Mimi bared her teeth and gritted them for a long time, but didn't leave a single tooth mark.
Mingzhao and Xiaozhi, in coordination with the Netherworld Bone Hands, first secured the five cannons firmly to the deck.
Remove all the shells from inside and store them in the warehouse to prevent them from being accidentally discharged due to violent shaking.
Then I found some black tape and stuck an X on all the glass surfaces, inside and out.
The lift we got earlier finally came in handy, allowing us to go directly from the outside to the glass windows on the second floor.
After the solar storm arrived, the ship was unable to move forward.
Mingzhao removed the water-cooled unit from the engine. The water-cooled unit needed to be powered on, and she wanted to prevent the storm from blowing seawater up and causing a short circuit.
I can turn off all the engines before going to bed tonight.
Next, she instructed Xiao Zhi to direct the Netherworld Bone Hand to apply sealing strips to each door, applying several layers to ensure that water and air could not get in.
These things took Mingzhao 50 minutes, and the previous buffs only lasted for 10 minutes.
She quickly opened the box while her lucky buff was still active.
Throughout the day, the Netherworld Bone Hand retrieved 11 silver treasure chests and 1 wooden treasure chest.
The proportion of silver treasure chests has increased significantly. Mingzhao even saw people in the group celebrating this today. Little did they know that every time this happens, it means a great disaster is about to befall them.
Mingzhao used the "I only want the best" option to select the highest-grade card from these treasure chests.
[Congratulations to the player for obtaining: 50 Ship Upgrade Cards, 1 Frostbite Medicine Recipe, 1 Down Vest Blueprint, 1 Brewing Jar Blueprint, 1 Double-Layer Glass Blueprint, 1 Thick Cotton Blanket, 1 Electric Blanket, 1 Common Space Expansion Card, 5 Hydrogels, 10 Tungsten Alloys, 5 Aluminum Blocks, and a number of other common resources such as Copper Blocks.]
Goodness, she had been wondering why there hadn't been any indication of the next sea area yet.
The fact that so many were opened at once suggests that the lucky buff has taken effect.
It seems the next sea area will most likely be a frozen sea.
In her past life, the first sea she encountered was a frozen sea.
The biggest challenges in frozen waters are twofold: the low temperature and the large amount of floating ice on the surface, which greatly affects the speed of progress and makes it easy to be overtaken by the warning line.
The final disaster froze the entire sea area, making it impossible for ships to move.
In his previous life, when Mingzhao entered the frozen sea, he was still a first-class ship and was shivering from the cold every day.
Already facing a shortage of oil, the speed of development is also slow, and basically every day when they open their eyes, they are being chased by the warning line.
Fortunately, they killed one of the troublemakers and stole his icebreaker's drill bit, thus successfully dealing with the final crisis.
Looking back now, the frozen sea was actually the simplest of all the seas.
But this time, things might be different.
The extremely warm ocean area is only the second ocean area where a disaster of the type of solar storm has occurred.
She always felt that the great seafaring game in this life was much more difficult than in the previous life. Could it really be the butterfly effect caused by her rebirth?
After completing the preliminary preparations, Mingzhao returned to the wheelhouse and continued sailing.
Tomorrow, a solar storm will prevent ships from sailing, and the speed of travel in the frozen sea will be greatly reduced.
The speed at which the warning line advances will increase in each sea area.
She will not give up taking advantage of the current favorable conditions to sail as many boats as possible.
The meals that Jianbing Guozi prepared for everyone for the day have finally arrived.
[Red Envelope: Deluxe Hot Pot Set Meal *1, Wagyu Beef and Fish Roe Burger *1, Deluxe Sashimi Set Meal *1, Ice Cream Fondue *1, Herbal Tea *1.]
Cosmic Invincible Greymon: "Aren't we just living like this? Why are we eating such a lavish meal?"
Pancake Dog: "Hehe, the more critical the moment, the more we need to eat well! Just thinking about eating hot pot in the middle of a storm makes me look forward to it."
...
Pancake Dog's relaxed attitude infected Mingzhao.
I'll go to sleep tonight, and I'll figure out what to do tomorrow!
