Chapter 136 Provocation
As the job postings were released, more and more players sent in messages, especially for skills or talents like 'news reporting' that rely on a group of people.
They also learned that the players possessed a variety of unusual talents, such as:
Efficient data collection: Reduces collection time and allows for the acquisition of additional resources.
Waste utilization: turning waste into useful items (such as tools made from scrap metal).
Energy conservation experts suggest reducing weapon durability loss or reducing energy consumption.
Trap Master: Sets up all sorts of deadly traps.
There are also talents like medics, negotiators, and imposters, whose abilities can only be fully utilized in teamwork.
Many people who level up slowly and can't find a direction to upgrade their abilities are willing to join here in order to seek more ways to use their abilities.
Because of Lazy Cat's actions, Ji Wei and the others summarized their methods of using their superpowers and were willing to release some information to the superpowered individuals who joined the island's guard team.
As a result, the number of people with superpowers who were willing to come increased.
As the number of people on and around the island increases, things are relatively better on the island due to the legal constraints, but the surrounding areas are becoming somewhat chaotic.
"Seventh Sister, someone has blocked the sea areas to the south and north, intercepting people coming to our island." Ji Wei was eager to try, and Xie Cheng and A Tong behind him also looked expectant.
"What, want to give it a try?" Lin Xia looked up from the pile of books.
Ji Wei nodded vigorously: "I've wanted to know for a long time about the power of water-based superpowers in a group fight at sea."
Xie Cheng nodded: "I also want to take the soldiers to practice, so they can adapt as soon as possible."
"I also want to know how to fight in the sea, what kinds of combat methods there are, and most importantly, there are countless skills and talents here, we'd better master them as soon as possible." A-Tong looked through her items, but unfortunately, there was nothing she could use.
Lin Xia stood up: "Then let's go."
"Seventh Sister, are you going too?" Ji Wei thought Lin Xia didn't want to get involved in these matters.
"Of course we have to go. It's our first battle against an enemy, we can only win, we can't afford to lose," A-Tong replied.
“That’s true, who knows who will come? But Seventh Sister, don’t show yourself yet. We can’t keep this up any longer, then you can come out.” Ji Wei nodded.
Lin Xia and A Tong boarded Ji Wei's boat. Lin Xia read a book in the cabin, while A Tong and Ji Wei were on the front deck. The others piloted their own boats and set off in a grand manner.
The group moved very quickly and soon spotted the ships that were blocking their way.
"Hiring! Hiring! Hiring in the community..."
Some people even tried to blatantly snatch people away. Even when they saw the fleet approaching, they simply gathered together, seemingly unafraid. Several of them even had provocative expressions on their faces.
Ji Wei stood at the bow of the boat, hands behind his back, and demanded, "Who gave you permission to stop people here?"
"What? This isn't your island. It's a public area. Why can't we come here?"
"Yeah, we can't be this domineering."
"What's wrong with stopping people? Everyone should rely on their own abilities."
......
As Ji Wei watched the group chattering away, he turned to Wang Yan behind him and said, "Remember to take a really badass picture of me."
Wang Yan's talent is "Exclusive News". The more people read the news he reports, the more attribute points he receives. Although everyone thinks the system gives him pseudo-attributes, he can still use them now.
Upon receiving the news and knowing what he was to do today, his heart was filled with excitement, his hands trembled, and he took a deep breath to calm himself down. Once the broadcast started, he was completely at ease.
Upon hearing Ji Wei's words, Wang Yan was taken aback, then nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Vice Island Master!"
"These people are all guests I invited. My guests have been robbed, so why don't I have the right to interfere?" Ji Wei's mind stirred, and the once calm sea surface began to ripple. The unusual commotion gradually quieted the people on the other side.
"As expected of a top expert on the list, the deputy island lord's special ability at sea is truly unique." A flippant voice rang out, and a thin, wiry man walked to the front with one hand behind his back and a smirk on his lips. He looked like he was about to wave a fan.
Ji Wei and A Tong exchanged a glance, said nothing, but both understood each other's meaning.
"Who are you?" Ji Wei asked, her fingertips swirling with tiny streams of water that seemed to snake around.
"I'm just a nobody, not worth mentioning." The man's flippant voice uttered these seemingly humble words, but for some reason, it made people feel very uncomfortable.
Ji Wei felt a surge of anger rising within him, and the water snake in his hand was about to fly out. On Xie Cheng's side, someone had already frowned and looked unfriendly, just waiting for the order to rush out.
A-Tong grabbed Ji Wei: "Don't be impulsive, something's wrong with this person."
The water snake on Ji Wei's finger paused, then slowly began to rotate again. The purifying power in her hand surged and circulated in her mind, and her inexplicable anger gradually subsided.
His overly excited mind calmed down, and he looked coldly at the person opposite him: "Is that so? Since you know you're insignificant, then get out of the way and stop blocking my way."
The man clenched his fist. He had underestimated the people on the list. In the past, when he provoked them, they would immediately start fighting, their eyes bloodshot, and no one could stop them. But this woman had calmed down after just being pulled back.
It seems these people do have unique abilities; their mental strength is quite high. The boss asked him to create chaos, so he can't afford to fail right from the start.
Before he could say anything more, Ji Wei decided to stop arguing: "These are all my guests. Anyone who dares to stop my guests is our enemy. Now I'll give you two choices."
"Either leave here immediately."
"Either, don't leave."
"I'll count to three, one, two, three!"
"Very well, it seems you're determined to fight us to the death."
As soon as Ji Wei finished speaking, a water dragon shot out, leaving the people opposite him dumbfounded. They hadn't even made their choice yet...
The man opposite him frowned. In a rational fight, they would not gain any advantage. He gritted his teeth and tried to take out his item, but found that he could not move at all. His eyes showed fear and his eyes rolled around.
Backup successful: Backup Capability Amplifier *1, Required Survival Points: 2000
[Ability Amplifier: Can amplify one's abilities many times over. The effect depends on the difference in mental strength between the two parties. Uses: 3]
Lin Xia looked at the backup, which was quite interesting. If combined with the skill that had just disrupted people's mental strength, it might have an unexpected effect.
She used her mental power to bind the man, rendering him immobile. Lin Xia tried to use her mental power to invade his mind and take control of his brain nerves. At first, it was very uncomfortable, but soon she was able to bypass his brain and control his body.
The water was churning, and the boat opposite began to rock violently. Water jets shot out, making it impossible to defend against. The man was unable to move, his eyes filled with boundless terror. In an instant, he fell into the sea, his fate unknown.
The man fell into the sea, and Lin Xia gave the command to hold his breath and die. The man died instantly. She released his body, retrieved his tools, and watched him sink to the bottom, surrounded by mutated fish...
