Chapter 35

Dafei, with a wooden expression, finished reading the posts that were attacking him, his heart calm and undisturbed. After all, back in the day, Dafei was the man who healed the entire server.

Isn't it just PKing someone to level zero? It's no big deal. Do you think cursing can kill me? A full server hunt? Ha! You guys are just too small-minded. But to be fair, things are different now. Nowadays, I need to make money as a professional player, and having too many enemies is a bit troublesome. Although I currently only have one enemy, my red name is too conspicuous. I don't kill people, but people want to kill me, which is quite a problem. Blood Sea's crazy wave, you're really good at using others to kill me!

The current priority is to find a way to wash off the red name. This time, I've gathered a lot of information about rare bosses. Selling it should boost my reputation significantly. Anyway, it's all the leftovers from my past. It's not that easy to finish me off.

Then Dafei started watching the interview program of the epic hero, and was just sighing when—

—System alert: Reconnaissance warning! Three unidentified ships are approaching you. Please be on guard!

Unidentified ships? Dafei was suddenly startled and immediately ran to the deck, raising his telescope to look. Sure enough, he saw three ships coming from the front, left front, and right front!

They are sail-oar ships! Definitely pirates!

Some wealthy large pirate ships are not much different from regular kingdom warships. Without flags, they are hard to distinguish. But sail-oar ships are definitely pirates. Sail-oar ships have sails on the deck and oar rooms in the bottom cabin. The two rows of long oars extending from the bottom of the ship look like a giant centipede. The advantage of such ships is obvious: they have both wind power and manpower, and can move as fast as a dragon boat! Especially when chasing in the opposite wind, the advantage is even more significant. In short, once they set their sights on you, you can't run away; you can only fight.

The disadvantages are also obvious. Since the bottom cabin is used for rowing, the ship has a shallow draft and poor wave resistance, making it unsuitable for navigating the vast ocean. So, merchant ships can easily avoid them by staying away from the coast. Another disadvantage is that because the ship has a shallow draft, the hull is not high, making it difficult to board large ships with high gunwales, requiring high combat skills from pirates.

Now, Dafei has been targeted! Running is definitely not an option. With a three-sided attack, fighting is also impossible! What to do!

For a moment, Dafei was stunned. The Great White Shark has appeared, and the pirates are here! System, how can I believe you're not putting on a show?

—Bang! Bang! Bang! Three black signal flares from the three pirate ships shot up into the sky, trailing long black smoke. Although Dafei couldn't understand what it meant, it definitely wasn't good.

The pirates were getting closer. Dafei could already see the deck and masts of the pirate ships through the telescope, filled with densely packed pirates. Indeed, because sail-oar ships are low and hard to board, pirates stand on the masts. Once engaged, they throw grappling hooks like acrobats, hooking the masts or gunwales of the target, or sliding down like Tarzan. It's a risky and skilled job.

After a long moment of shock, Dafei finally came to his senses.

So many pirates, didn't they see the huge back in front of them? Even if you don't give me face, at least give the Great White Shark some face.

The only option left is to use others to kill. In simpler terms, it's about luring monsters to kill. I'm an expert at this. Whether it works or not, it's the last and only option.

Dafei walked to the mast where the rope was tied. The rope was already taut and about to break, and the mast was creaking.

Dafei tried to pull and shake the rope, but it didn't budge. Then Dafei walked on the taut rope like a tightrope. Since the shark's stomach is full of stuff, I should be able to anger it by messing around here, right? Once it's angry, it should show some reaction, right?

Dafei tried jumping on the rope, and—bang!—the water splashed, and the entire ship shook—there was a reaction!

I'll keep jumping!

—Bang! The water surged!

Dafei was startled! Don't really mess it up, or I'll end up hurting myself.

The pirates were getting closer, and when they saw the Great White Shark causing a commotion, they suddenly fell silent! The ship's speed also slowed down!

It's time for some blood! Dafei immediately rushed to the bottom of the ship to the cannon port and fired two shots at the densely packed pirates on the deck of the pirate ship on the right! Screams of pain rose!

—System alert: You have killed a pirate, gained +40 experience!

—System alert: You have obtained incomplete information about the pirate.

—System alert: You have attacked the pirate ship, causing -78 damage!

This shot was indeed like the fuse of a bomb. The Great White Shark, which was already raging, immediately turned into a torpedo and charged at the pirate ship on the right at an incredible speed. Amid the screams of the pirates, it rammed the ship, boom!!

The pirate ship shook violently, and the pirates on the masts fell like dumplings. The pirates who managed to stabilize themselves on the gunwales were also fierce, pulling out their throwing axes to attack.

The Great White Shark, hit by the throwing axes, became even more enraged and rammed the bottom of the ship, almost flipping it over!

It worked! Dafei was both surprised and delighted!

—Bang! Bang! Two more smoke signal flares shot up. The pirate ship in front moved to support the one on the right, while the pirate ship on the left shouted and continued to approach the Flying Ship. Damn!

How can I fight this! This is not a trial, but a real encounter with pirates! It's over! The ship can't be saved!

Dafei gritted his teeth. Since I've already made a good profit, I'll fight you all out. Dafei immediately rushed to the deck, ready to cut the rope binding the Great White Shark to let it go on a killing spree.

At this moment, the pirate ship on the left was already close. It was a double-masted sail-oar ship, half the length of the Flying Ship. Dafei could already see the pirates on the opposite mast, with bandanas on their heads, knives in their mouths, and hooks in their hands.

"Ha ha ha!" Seeing Dafei, the pirates immediately grinned and threw their hooks, which clung to the gunwale of the Flying Ship!

Damn! No time to cut the rope!

"Damn!" Dafei immediately rushed forward and shot the acrobat sliding down the rope, -13!

—System alert: The enemy was affected by the paralysis toxin, and the action was interrupted...

Ah! The pirate's hand suddenly loosened, and he fell into the sea with a scream. Dafei's eyebrows twitched! This paralysis effect is almost as good as a one-shot kill!

Clunk! Clunk! Two more hooks clung to the gunwale of the Flying Ship. For the ruthless pirates, the loss of a few comrades wouldn't stop their attack.

Damn! One shot, one kill; two shots, two kills! Dafei immediately rushed to the other hook and shot again—splash! Another pirate fell into the sea.

At this moment, a wave of water surged between the two ships—boom!! The pirate ship shook violently!

The Great White Shark was here! Wherever someone fell into the water, it would appear first! In the water, its attack speed can reach up to 70 kilometers per hour! (Is your car that fast? Have you lost all your points?)

Dafei couldn't help but burst into laughter! Compared to the tall sail ships, the Great White Shark, in a rage, would instinctively attack the low sail-oar ships. In front of such a bloodthirsty and swift king, what can these three small pirate ships do? Especially when the size of the shark is comparable to the pirate ships. Dafei was even more grateful that he didn't attack the Great White Shark. Otherwise, how long could his broken ship withstand it?

The pirates quickly realized the situation and began to retreat. The pirate ship on Dafei's left was very unfortunate. The violent shaking caused the oar cabin to take on a lot of water, and the ship began to tilt, unable to escape. The pirates immediately ran to the other side of the ship to balance it.

Dafei, of course, wouldn't stand by. He immediately ran to the cannon port, pushed the ballista to the left gunport, and then—no, no, no, should I aim at the people balancing the ship? Or the side with the leak? Ah, which one should I shoot? This question actually made me hesitate, ha ha ha! Anyway, I've made it through again. I'm indeed an expert, and I'm really awesome!

Finally, under the joint attack of Dafei and the shark, the pirate ship sank, and over a hundred pirates, terrified and swinging their knives in a last stand, ultimately became the prey of the Great White Shark. The scene was so gruesome and inhumane that it was unbearable to watch.

—System alert: You have sunk a medium-sized pirate ship and completely wiped out a pirate force, gaining +80,000 experience! You have achieved the achievement "First Battle Victory," and your leadership has increased by +10.

—Newbie tip: When you completely wipe out an enemy's entire unit, you will receive an additional leadership achievement reward. The additional reward is related to the strength of the enemy unit and your battle losses, with a maximum of 10 points.

Dafei's eyebrows twitched. I'm just one person, and I won a battle! This experience is terrifying!

The sun set, and the entire sea turned red. After the battle, the Great White Shark, covered in wounds, floated on the surface, bleeding profusely. Exhausted and weak, it finally couldn't hold on.

Sigh, what can I say? This is the highest level of watching tigers fight. Dafei, feeling a sense of loss, sighed, "Brother, I'll send you off!"
