Chaos Lord: Infinite Guidance

Chapter 11 Exploring the Seas

Wang Jue laughed heartily, flicked his arm, and sent the mysterious scarecrow three hundred meters away.

The mysterious scarecrow can die in my place, and Bandhu can die in the scarecrow's place. With him around, I have an extra life, so I can't let him go easily.

Of course, even if Wang Jue wanted to let go, he couldn't.

Having been caught by the mysterious scarecrow, this group of tigers will have to die once before they can be free.

Next, Wang Jue stopped giving the scarecrow instructions and began happily collecting his spoils.

In this battle, Mad Dog King killed 12 enemies and seized a total of 12 Cloud Boat Capsules, 12 hoes, and 250 coins!

"Whoa, twelve Cloud Boat Capsules! Did the adventurer player's storage space get emptied after they died?"

Wang Jue happily stored the spoils in his storage space.

It's worth mentioning that players only have 10 storage slots in their inventory. Items of the same type can be stacked in the same storage slot, with no limit on the number of items that can be stacked.

Wang Jue's seven storage compartments have already been used, containing 801 coins, two packets of hemostatic powder, one packet of wound medicine, one bottle of life potion, thirteen hoes, a deep-sea trident, and fourteen cloud boat capsules.

A moment later, Wang Jue took Mad Dog King and once again boarded the Star Sea Cloud Boat to go out to sea.

"The next territory mission requires the territory's population to reach 4. Right now, there are only two people: Mad Dog King and Scarecrow. To complete this mission, we must go out to sea to explore. Obviously, we have to actively fight for the resources in the Chaotic Star Sea, otherwise we'll just be handing them over to others..."

Knowing that time was precious, Wang Jue increased the speed of the Star Sea Cloud Boat to its maximum, feeling that the speed was at most 20 miles per hour.

A moment later, Wang Jue discovered another blue sphere of light. Below this sphere was a platform, and on the platform was a small, earth-yellow fish-man.

In Wang Jue's view, this little fish-man was just like the carp spirit in Journey to the West, with a fish head and a human body, a hunched back and a bent waist, big but lifeless eyes, looking dull and silly. He was a bit small, only fifty centimeters tall, and his limbs were relatively thick for his size. He was wearing a pair of silver fish-scale shorts.

As soon as Wang Jue jumped onto the platform, he immediately received a system notification: "Ding, a bewildered little merman has been detected. Would you like to recruit him?"

"Ding, notification: The current unit's recruitment success rate is 60%. If recruitment is successful, the current unit will become your subordinate and be immediately teleported back to your territory. If recruitment fails, a battle will be triggered immediately."

Wang Jue beckoned Mad Dog King to the platform and laughed, "I was just worried about having no one in my territory. This little murloc is free, I'll take him!"

"Ding! Recruitment successful. You can view the unit's detailed attribute information after returning to your territory!"

With the system notification sound, the tan-colored merman on the platform immediately turned into light and disappeared, and the entire platform slowly began to become transparent.

"This platform is going to disappear..."

Wang Jue muttered something to himself, then boarded the boat and went out to sea again.

About half an hour later, after circling most of his territory in the chaotic star sea, Wang Jue finally discovered another platform.

This platform was much larger than any he had encountered before; it was practically an island with a small hill on it. On the hill grew a coconut tree, and under the coconut tree was a long table. Behind the long table stood a small man with green skin and pointed ears.

The short man had bright eyes. With his hands tucked into his sleeves, he shouted loudly when he saw Wang Jue, "Come and take a look, everyone from north to south! New and good stuff! Limited quantities, first come, first served! Once it's sold out, get out!"

[Goblin Vendor McGonagall: A special-purpose NPC, a standard shopping tool, with a simple personality and intelligence, a credit rating of level three, randomly appears throughout the Chaos Star Sea, is neutral, holy, and invulnerable; please do not attempt to attack him.]

"A goblin peddler?"

Wang Juexin found it strange. After getting off the dragon boat, he led Mad Dog King to the goblin vendor. The goblin vendor rubbed his hands together and greeted them warmly, "What would you two like to order?"

Mad Dog King laughed heartily, then held a flaming greatsword to the goblin vendor's neck and roared, "Grandpa's asking you, money or your life?"

The goblin vendor didn't react much, wearing a professional smile, and said to Mad Dog King, "New and good stuff, limited quantity, first come, first served, sold out and on your way!"

Mad Dog King continued, "Grandpa asked you..."

Wang Jue quickly called a halt, stopping the mad dog king's mindless questioning. He sized up the goblin vendor and tentatively asked, "What goods do you have here?"

The goblin vendor said, "Eight apples, two salted fish, one Frostbolt skill book, one Brick-Making skill book, and one spiked club!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a commodity trading window popped up in front of Wang Jue, containing five items that were exactly what the goblin vendor had mentioned.

Apples are labeled as food, with one apple worth 0.25 units and priced at one dollar.

Salted fish is also marked as food, with one fish counted as one unit, and two yuan per fish.

The Frost Arrow Skill Book is an exclusive item for adventurer players, usable only by adventurer players, and costs 500 yuan.

The Brick Making Skill Book is an exclusive item for lord players. After use, it allows you to make bricks with clay. It costs 1,000 yuan per book.

A spiked club is a weapon, costing 100 yuan.

Wang Jue frowned.

The "Brick Making Skill Book" is interesting, but it's too expensive for him to afford.

As for other goods, Wang Jue had little interest.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Jue suddenly asked, "Vendor, do you buy things?"

As he spoke, Wang Jue took out a Cloud Boat Capsule from his storage space.

The goblin vendor said, "Standard Cloud Boat Capsules, 300 yuan each, unlimited supply!"

"Wow, that's a 70% discount!"

Wang Jue put away the Yunzhou capsules.

Selling this stuff isn't profitable.

He then took out a hoe and asked, "Where's this?"

"We don't accept worthless junk!"

"You won't take it? This is a hoe, after all. It should be worth more than apples and salted fish, right?"

Wang Jue shook his head and took out the Deep Sea Trident again.

This thing isn't very useful to him; if the price is right, he might as well sell it for money.

"Deep-sea trident, 2,000 yuan each, buy any, no limit!"

"2000? Not bad!"

Wang Jue figured that haggling with this low-level NPC was pointless, so he didn't dwell on it. He sold the Deep Sea Trident for 2000 yuan.

As a result, Wang Jue's savings reached 2801 yuan. After a moment's thought, he only bought a book called "Brick Making Skills Book".

"Resources are scarce, so let's spend our money wisely!"

Wang Jue said something, then wasted no time and continued sailing with Mad Dog King.

Another half hour passed, and Wang Jue discovered an island.

To be precise, that is Beginner Village No. 985, which has green mountains and trees, tall towers and city walls. As far as the eye can see, the coastal docks are bustling with people, with a large number of players and NPCs active, and starships coming and going along the coast.

Wang Jue was cautious and, seeing that there were many people, dared not get too close, so he just watched from a distance.

Suddenly, not far from Wang Jue, a ball of light slowly rose from the chaotic star sea.

"Resource point!"

Wang Jue was overjoyed. He saw a platform in the sphere of light, which was nearly five meters long and wide, and a magnificent shark-headed fishman stood on it.

The shark-headed merman looked exactly like the merman leader who appeared in the final stage of the prologue battle. He even held a deep-sea trident in his right hand, but he was much smaller, only about 1.8 meters tall. Behind him lay a large, golden treasure chest.

Wang Jue knew this was a newly spawned resource point, so he immediately set sail to collect it.

However, Wang Jue wasn't the only one to discover this resource point. Several Starships immediately approached from afar, and on the fastest of them stood a long-haired female player. Holding a longbow, she shouted from a distance, "My treasure chest, don't steal it!"
