Chapter 63: Chapter 63
After experiencing the disturbance of killing and once again experiencing the joy of having a personal space, under the fluctuation of extremes, the students astonishingly adapted quickly to this environment. Noticing the changes of the students around him, Du You silently nodded.
It seems that Teacher Li, who was able to become a teacher, was not as simple as he appeared on the surface.
Quick adaptation means that they’ll be able to sustain the upcoming battles better, and this was Teacher Li’s purpose.
At this moment, Teacher Li suddenly mentioned, "Isn’t it somewhat annoying to have to pick up the Light Balls from the ground? No worries, after obtaining personal space, you guys will have an auto-collect function."
"We have this excellent function! Where is it, I want to use it." A student excitedly exclaimed. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲·𝗻𝗲𝘁
As if it wasn’t concerning him, Teacher Li indifferently replied, "Where is it? Of course, it’s in the profession panel. As long as one can provide ten white Crystal Coins, one can activate this auto-collect function."
Everyone’s faces went from joyous to disappointed in an instant; ten white Crystal Coins – given today’s situation, they likely won’t get the chance. Many resentful eyes turned towards Teacher Li, who gave a sinister grin.
Unknown time passed, and Teacher Li suddenly jumped up and landed on the mast again. "The second stage is to begin. My dear students, fight to survive."
The reminder by Teacher Li made everyone immediately realize that another battle was about to commence.
In the distance, that pirate ship was still within their sight range. Yes, the pirate ship was indeed much faster than them, but the ship’s sail was set ablaze during the previous fight and was destroyed.
This significantly impacted the pirate ship’s speed. This was the reason why, despite carrying so much cargo, the decoy military ship could keep up with them.
At this moment, the pirate ship started to turn around as if it had decided not to run anymore.
Seeing this, the captain immediately commanded, "We are turning around and heading back. The pirates’ reinforcements must have arrived, and there are many of them." Having the courage to confront these pirates meant that there couldn’t be a small number of reinforcements.
The captain also commanded, "Send a signal for the ships behind to come for reinforcements, quickly. Everyone, listen well. There will be lots of pirates attacking us shortly, but as long as we hold on till the reinforcements arrive, we will win. Some of us may die during this, tell me, are you scared?"
"No fear!" The soldiers roared in response.
"I came here to kill pirates. If they don’t die, I will."
It seems the morale of this army is quite high. Even as students, they all felt their blood boiling in this environment.
"And you guys, you are new recruits, but your talents are very good. Remember to protect yourselves well. In the future, the task of maintaining peace at sea will be passed on to you." Unexpectedly, the captain yelled out to them.
"It seems like we already assumed the identity of new recruits when we came here." Said a student softly.
"Of course, this is a derivative world completely controlled by the school. A derivative world under complete control can certainly be influenced to some extent, like having lawful identities upon entering."
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng was the one explaining this time. Just with one glance at Lin Feng’s surroundings, Du You understood.
In the end, her previous attractive mannerisms had attracted many female students to her side. Appearance-wise she wasn’t that bad and her family background was good. With a performance like hers at this moment, it was only natural that she captured all the female students’ attention.
"These people...they will understand in the future, that a man like me is the most reliable one."
Lao Er lifted his muscular arm in jealousy, instantly attracting a lot of contempt.
"What you said is not wrong either, but that will only be revealed in the future. In the world of Professionals, only power is unique. Although we are no longer under the rule of the strong, those with power can still have many privileges." As the leader’s eyes sparkled, he knew that it was because some people were powerful that they managed to make such a big move.
How many large organizations had collapsed and been swallowed by others because their leaders died unexpectedly?
Isn’t it just because they no longer have a strong person to lean on, so they lost their backing? This is very common. So, for these professionals, only power is unique, and all else should not be taken too seriously.
As they were talking, the cargo ship had already completed its turn and had started to flee. Because they discovered it early on, the ships behind could not catch up at all. However, the pirates’ ship, after all, was faster, and after a chase, they suddenly could see it clearly.
"Five ships, we’ve hooked a big fish this time." The first mate observed from afar.
The captain looked at the rear through his binoculars, with a somewhat rejoicing yet solemn expression.
"It’s the Cuttlefish Pirate Group, the largest pirate group around here. If we can get rid of them all at once, there will be no big waves here for the next few years."
"Yes, but our danger is also greater. Their leader Cuttlefish is a strong opponent."
Not only did the crew members notice it, but the students also spotted the pirate ships racing from afar. There were four new ones, plus the original one, making a total of five pirate ships. The second stage had already begun.
Based on the information from Teacher Li, they knew that the pressure would be great next, but as long as they could hold on, there would be no problem. After all, this was a derivative world adapted for the school’s students; they would never really encounter too much danger. Like the other crew members, the students also moved towards the side of the ship.
"Swap to your bows and arrows. We will be focusing on ranged attacks for this battle, with no boarding."
A veteran soldier shouted loudly, distributing bows and arrows to everyone. Everyone buckled their knives to their waists; a close bout was not an impossibility. Du You held the longbow in his hands and cracked a grin.
Military Battle Bow: Maximum pull 3 (Light White, Non-equipment)
This longbow could reach the level of light white, so it wasn’t a joke.
However at this moment, many students complained because they hadn’t practiced archery at all and had no such skill. They might learn it later, but with such low levels, they wouldn’t be very useful.
However, everyone knows that ranged attacks are the safest moves at the moment, at least for a while.
"Haha, it’s my stage next. I will protect you all well, just watch my performance." Lin Feng was happy, because he was an Awakener of the bow and arrow class, and his equipment was also the best.
