Moreover, there are only a handful of people on the boat, and the happiness squeezed from them has already reached its peak. If one wants to use happiness to further increase it, he can only wait until he reaches the shore and use happiness to influence more people.
so.
Doug could only focus his life on slacking off.
In the simulation field, strength is the basis for survival. Otherwise, if you encounter other players and are killed with one sword, it will be useless no matter how excellent your advanced skills are.
What's more, there was a lack of information on the ship, and he could not do anything except slacking off.
When the captain was slacking off and fishing in the sea, Doug's strength increased rapidly.
There are so many fish in the sea, and every time he touches one, his strength will increase by one point.
Occasionally, if he is lucky enough to encounter a school of sardines, or large fish such as whale sharks in groups, Duger's attributes will soar up like riding a rocket.
In the past few days, his ranking has jumped from over 900 to 223rd.
At this time, there were only more than 600 candidates left in the simulation field. It had to be said that even for the elites, it was difficult to survive successfully in the simulation field.
Ultimately, this is a game of luck.
Apart from anything else, with a deadly start like his, nine out of ten people would not survive.
If he only has the keyword "slacking off", he can't even recover it. You say he can still slack off even if he is thrown into the sea.
If you lose your life, you will be eliminated immediately. Even if the fish eats your body clean, you won’t gain any attributes...
…
Through these few days of slacking off, Doug gained new experience.
Dolphins are not fish, turtles are not fish, crabs are not fish, and touching them will not increase any of their attributes.
However, touching an octopus, whale, or squid will increase your stats.
In the biological definition, octopuses and squids are mollusks, and whales are mammals, but here they are all considered fish.
That is to say.
There are two ways to judge fish in the simulation field. One is that it is a fish, and the other is that it has the word "fish" in its name.
According to this calculation, Du Ge felt that if he touched Jiang Xiaoyu from The Twins, he could also become his private property...
A master at slacking off, it would be more appropriate to pair it with a skill that can change other people's names.
…
On the fifth day of drifting at sea, Doug finally saw land.
The pirate ship needed to dock to replenish daily necessities and fresh water, so Barry and others lowered the pirate flag and replaced it with an ordinary merchant ship flag.
After all, pirates are an illegal organization. If they blatantly come ashore with pirate flags flying, it is a provocation to the navy and will immediately face coastline bombardment and naval encirclement.
No pirate ship would be stupid enough to do that.
But once you take down the pirate flag, the garrisons on the coastline will turn a blind eye even if they know you are pirates and allow you to replenish supplies on shore.
after all.
Pirates also spend money when they come ashore, which can boost economic circulation in coastal towns.
…
Doug jumped out of the sea and onto the deck. He shook off the water drops on his hair, came to Barry and said with a smile: "Barry, after we get ashore, let's find a tailor shop and change the flag."
"Change to what?" Barry asked, his heart skipping a beat.
"Didn't I tell you before? Pink flag, smiling skull." Doug looked at Barry strangely, looking at the pirate hat on his head, and said, "Not only do we need to change the flag, but also the pattern on our pirate hats. We want to be a group of pirates who can bring happiness to others. Moreover, I plan to change the name of the ship to Smiling Angel."
"Paul, if we do that, our colleagues will laugh at us, and no one will be afraid of us anymore." Barry's face flushed. "I absolutely disagree with changing the flag to pink."
"But this is my boat. Why should I need your consent for my boat?" Doug said, "I can change it to whatever I want. I can even paint the whole boat pink and draw women's underwear on it..."
"It doesn't matter! I have lost my memory. To me, you are just a bunch of strangers." Doug smiled. "Anyway, we will soon go ashore. I can recruit a group of new sailors at any time who share the same ideals as me. I will go looking for happiness with them..."
Damn it!
Barry was stunned, and suddenly he realized that Paul, who had lost his memory, simply wanted to use them to drive the boat back to the shore.
The thing about the boat he had thought was his, didn't exist at all.
As long as Paul lives, the boat will always belong to Paul, and no one can take it away...
But could he really abandon the ship? How could he?
If he could afford a boat, he would have captained it himself!
Moreover, after Paul became powerful, they hadn't done a single serious job yet, and he didn't even have a pension...
Damn Paul! At this moment, he suddenly missed the Paul who was determined to find the Scepter of Poseidon and become the King of Pirates.
At least that Paul still had the ambition to fight, instead of just wanting to be a clown who brings happiness to the world like he does now! …
"Paul, have you ever thought about looking for Poseidon's Scepter?" Barry took a deep breath, looked at Doug, and smiled, "That's your dream. If you are willing to give up that damn pink skull, we are willing to accompany you to find Poseidon's Scepter and make the Flying Giant Bird the overlord of the entire ocean..."
"Barry, Poseidon's Scepter is a trap." Doug shrugged and said, "Life is short. Why should we fight with others for a false reputation instead of looking for more happiness in this short life? Right, Wayne?"
“……” Wayne’s face darkened and he said nothing.
Wendy the parrot had become familiar with Doug these days. Perhaps because of its limited brain capacity, it had long forgotten about the ghost and shouted, "Pink Skull, Paul, Barry said you are a clown."
"Shut up."
Wayne and Paul scolded at the same time.
The parrot flew away with its wings fluttering, and continued to shout from the mast: "Barry also said that you would turn into a monster..."
"Barry, did you really say that?" Doug asked, "Am I that terrible in your heart?"
"Paul, don't listen to that stupid bird." Barry looked at Doug and suddenly sighed, "At this point, we can't lie to you anymore. Paul, you lost your memory not because of a head hit, but because you made a deal with the mermaid Selma. You exchanged your past memories for immortality, just to become the king of pirates one day.
You have paid too much for the position of Pirate King. If you insist on changing the pirate flag to pink, you will hate yourself when you take back your memory from Selma in the future. "
"I made a deal with Selma?" Doug was stunned.
"If you don't believe me, you can stab yourself," Barry said. "An ordinary person's wound won't heal automatically, nor can he hold his breath in the sea for half an hour at a time."
Doug drew out his scimitar doubtfully and cut his arm. Then, he was surprised to find that the wound healed quickly. He said with surprise, "God of the Sea, I am actually immortal."
"Paul, since you are immortal, you are qualified to compete for the title of King of the Ocean. Why do you have to turn yourself into a clown?" Barry said painfully.
"Barry, if I become the king of the ocean, can I have all the pirate ships fly pink flags?" Doug suddenly became excited.
You're just having a hard time with the pink flag, aren't you? Barry cursed in his heart, and said, "Of course, the prerequisite is that you become the king of pirates first. Then, you can write your rules into the pirate code, and even let them dance before boarding the ship."
"Then let's become the king of pirates first?" Doug looked around at everyone.
All the sailors on deck nodded at the same time.
"Paul, it's meaningless to let only one ship fly a pink flag. If you want to fly it, let all pirate ships in the world fly it." Barry saw that his persuasion had worked, and struck while the iron was hot like coaxing a child. "We are already familiar with this ship, and everyone is united. We can help you become the king of pirates, provided that you give up the idea of dyeing the flag pink."
"Really?" Doug asked.
"real."
Everyone nodded again.
Wayne said: "But you have to give up flying the pink flag."
"I can give up flying the pink flag, but are you willing to add a suffix to your name for me?" Doug looked around at everyone with an earnest look on his face. "I firmly believe that sea fish can bring me luck. I want everyone to add a sea fish name after their name. For example, you, Barry Sullivan, can you add the word flying fish to the end of your name? How about changing it to Barry Sullivan Flying Fish. After all, sea fish will not die if they fall into the water..."
