Under the night sky, Dafei did not need to aim at all. He shot after shot at the slow-moving Giant Lizards with glowing eyes. These poor Giant Lizards did not even know where the attacks came from in the dark.
In the sea, there was also a flash of light. It was the crocodiles' frog eyes. They finally reacted to the approach of the Giant Lizards. They began to slowly drift towards the shore and gather.
The tactic was effective. There was hope of luring the monsters! Dafei was even more excited. He did not know how many Giant Lizards he had killed. A golden light descended from the sky.
— System Notification: Congratulations! You have leveled up to Level 20! Obtained 1 Free Attribute Point, 1 Skill Point, HP + 2, Command + 1, Tactical Position + 1, Basic Damage + 1.
— System Notification: As a Beginner Navigator, you have grown. Obtained 1 Free Attribute Point.
Oh yeah! I leveled up! Beginner Navigators only rewarded 1 point every 5 levels, so Level 20 should give 4 points. At Level 19, he already got 3 points. Now, this 1 point was compensation.
But when he thought of the Navigator's god-tier scroll falling into her hands, Dafei's heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife! No, it's just a female NPC, right? If she doesn't want a car or a house, will I explode my balls? I don't believe I can't take her down! Not only will I complete this quest, I will complete it beautifully. What's one unit of pearls? I will complete the quest more than necessary. I will collect all the pearls in this pool.
A red glow bloomed on the surface of the sea in the east. The sky was about to brighten.
After a night of shooting, the Giant Lizards' corpses had piled up into a mountain of flesh on the beach. And after a night of shooting, Dafei's experience was not far from Level 21.
I can proudly say that although there might be millions of players in the world who start with the Ballista, there are definitely very few players who can use the Ballista as well as me. I don't need soldiers to protect the Ballista, I don't need to block the terrain, I don't need to aim, and I don't need to maintain the spare parts. If this isn't perfection, then what is?
The realm of an expert isn't all kinds of fancy tactics, but facing the most suitable enemy at the most suitable time. I said, I'm an expert! How can an expert like me lower myself to be a pirate? It's such a waste of talent. Being a merchant is the right way, wahahaha!
Finally, the crocodiles that had been observing for a whole night moved. They climbed ashore in groups and began to enjoy the feast that was within their reach. Even the crocodiles, which were said to be immune to all kinds of diseases, were more or less afraid of the corrosive poison of the giant lizard. This was also the reason why they waited last night.
Dafei was waiting for this opportunity. When the crocodiles came ashore in groups, Dafei immediately rushed to the beach to fish for shells.
— System Notice: You have picked up a Pearl Oyster and obtained a Blood Pearl!
Blood pearls! Looking at the marble-sized red glass ball in his hand, Dafei's eyebrows twitched! Are these pearls? Aren't pearls all white? Could it be an extremely rare xenogeneic? Didn't that mean it was worth it?
Haha! As long as it's valuable, it's good. I've already planned to plunder everything here!
Dafei began to collect pearls in a frenzy, and the giant crocodiles on the shore began to devour the pearls in a frenzy. Both sides took what they needed. Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, the sun was high in the sky. It was noon.
The number of shells in the sea was decreasing, and it was getting harder to find them. The mountain of corpses on the shore was also more or less eliminated. It was time to call it a day. At that moment, Dafei had already collected 345 Blood Pearls, which was equivalent to 3 units of 45. He had far surpassed the task. Hmph, it's just a collection task. It's not a problem for me.
Dafei went ashore with satisfaction and began to dismantle the ballista, preparing to pack it up and leave. He turned around to look at the boat and couldn't help but feel pleased. Hmph! I want to see your expressions later. How dare you look down on me! I wonder what kind of expression you'll have when I give this pile of pearls to the beauty? Devote yourself to me? Hahaha! I know you're a high-class person, and I'm not asking for much. Return the scroll to me, and we'll part ways on good terms. Why force me to stay?
Of course, to prevent the crocodiles from attacking, Dafei would occasionally look at the giant crocodiles that were basking in the sun while dismantling the ballista.
Wait! Suddenly, Dafei realized that something was wrong! Aren't the crocodiles too full? They've already become a big tent! How ridiculous is this?
Dafei immediately took out his binoculars to take a look. He saw a small part of the giant lizard's tail sticking out of the crocodile's mouth. The giant crocodile was still raising its head, trying to swallow the tail completely.
Dafei was so shocked that his jaw dropped to the ground. F * ck, I was so focused on collecting the pearls that I didn't look at them carefully. Could these giant crocodiles have swallowed the lizard whole?
Crocodiles were not like other beasts. Their forelimbs were too short and could not help to cut and eat prey. They were also not like sharks that had a few rows of saw-like teeth that could tear off a piece of meat after biting their prey. Have you seen how crocodiles eat in the animal world? Throwing food! It was like a group of crocodiles biting a captured zebra antelope and then fighting and tearing each other until a large piece of meat was torn off. Then, they raised their heads and swallowed it down their throats.
However, in this situation, these giant crocodiles were facing these lizards that were much smaller than them and had a lot more numbers. Was there a need to fight and tear each other apart? They were like snakes that swallowed everything in one bite! Under normal circumstances, if a snake was full, it would be in a completely defenseless state, right?
Looking at the big belly that was swollen like a balloon, a crazy and irrepressible idea instantly surged into Dafei's mind. Try shooting it?
That's right! Most people were like this. When you see a balloon that is blown very big, wouldn't you subconsciously want to see it explode? When you see a waiter that is carrying a lot of plates, wouldn't you subconsciously want to see the plates crash to the ground? What is this called in psychology?
In short, at this moment, Dafei really wanted to shoot it!
However, Dafei's rationality and desire began to struggle fiercely! After all, a game was a game. How could it be applied to real life? If the crocodiles did not affect him at all, wouldn't he be looking for trouble? Under normal circumstances, what would be the damage of shooting a crocodile?
Master Grade Ballista: 30 Attack, 6-7 Base Damage; Now that Dafei was Level 20, he gained 19 Attribute Points for leveling up, plus the additional 4 Attribute Points from the Navigator. The only problem was that the Ballista was not affected by skills and equipment, so the attributes from the Captain's Sword could not be used on the Ballista.
Total Damage = Base Damage x Hero Strategic Attribute Points = 138-161 However, the crocodile Boss had an astonishing 50 Defense. The Ballista had a 20 point difference in Attack and Defense, so the damage was exactly 50%, which was 69-80. Against a crocodile with 900 HP, was it possible?
However, in any case, he had already completed the task. This Ballista had killed who knew how many Bosses. It had long been enough. If he did not try, then so be it. How would he know?
Finally! Dafei's opportunistic personality won over his rationality — fight! Instead of regretting doing it, it was better to regret not doing it! It was still like buying a lottery. No matter how low the chances of success were, as long as you tried, you had a chance of success. If you did not try, you would never succeed!
Determined, Dafei began to excitedly reload the Ballista. Every time he checked the winning numbers in the lottery, Dafei would feel this excited.
The Ballista was once again assembled!
Dafei took a deep breath, loaded two Ballista bolts, and aimed at a big balloon in the distance! Would this shot witness a miracle or a foolish act?
— Boom! Two bolts flew out! Bang! Bang! A rain of blood exploded! "-243!" "-251!"
Success! Dafei stood up excitedly! A huge reversal in attack and defense. This damage was definitely the Ballista's Attack higher than the crocodile's Defense by at least 10 points! The bloated crocodile was indeed defenseless! At the same time, a row of system notifications appeared on the screen.
— System Notification: You have further refined and collected information on the Desolate Island Man-eating Giant Crocodile!
— System Notification: You have obtained information on the Grandmaster Level Detection Arcane Skill "Intelligence Analysis."
— Intelligence Analysis: After obtaining detailed information on an unknown creature, the Hero can discover the creature's fatal weakness. During battle, ignore its Defense by 25-100%. Learning Requirement: Grandmaster Level Detection.
Dafei was so shocked that his eyebrows twitched!
Wasn't the information on the Desolate Island Man-eating Giant Crocodile published on the official website? Could it be further refined and collected? Information on the Grandmaster Level Subskill? As Dafei reloaded, he opened the information bar as fast as he could. Then, he discovered an additional line under the crocodile's special skill:???
Discovered Crocodile's Unknown Special Skill! Needless to say, this special skill was definitely a negative special skill, or had it discovered the crocodile's weakness? F * ck, it was already bloated to this extent. Was there still a need to discover the crocodile's weakness?
The key was, what was up with the sudden appearance of the Grandmaster Level Intelligence Analysis skill? Wasn't this skill from the skill book? As long as one reached the Grandmaster level, they could learn it directly. Was there still a need to collect information on the skill?
But there was no time to think too much. The giant crocodile that was attacked roared and staggered over!
Looking at its zombie-like speed, Dafei let out a long laugh. "Spit out everything that you ate from me!"
