Of course there is no light, so a candle is used on the right.
Although the seabed has been affected to some extent by the super-doubled ocean currents, it is obviously much calmer than the sea surface.
You could even imagine Emiya and his gang holding onto the raft and screaming on the water.
But the organizers did not leave any room for the contestants.
All contestants who were forced into the water received another system prompt.
[Giant bubbles that can replenish oxygen are frequently generated in the deep sea, so please make use of them. ]
Basically, this is to encourage some athletes who are good at swimming to give up the raft.
This is obviously very good news for Kunio and others.
However, this advantage was completely wiped out when compared with the sperm whale.
Asking people to compete in speed with whales is a very disgusting thing in itself.
However, at this moment, a team that was still at the starting point finally went into the water.
The director has already switched the screen to this team.
This team, which had been delayed for such a long time before setting off, was also composed entirely of girls. Moreover, unlike in high school, these girls were just ordinary everyday girls with school beauties' looks.
However, the ships they were on were somewhat different.
This is a strange ship that is silver in color and looks like a melon seed that has been magnified many times. Even whether it is a ship or not needs to be examined in detail.
"Lala, is this thing of yours really working? Don't be like that jumping Wap-kun before and throw me directly to the starting point and take off my clothes in the process."
The girl with short brown hair had obviously been tricked by all kinds of strange tools taken out by her friends more than once or twice, so that she was now alert to everything she saw, but she didn't dare to say anything more.
"Don't worry! This time I transformed the universal hovercraft from the raw materials bit by bit! It is top-notch in terms of safety! There will definitely not be any accidents!!!"
The girl with long pink hair, who was wearing very strange clothes and looked like she was wearing a big mushroom cap on her head, was full of energy and patted her plump chest to make assurances to the tea method girl.
She did not lie about this. This time, the universal hovercraft was carefully adjusted by her bit by bit, otherwise it would not have taken so long to build.
"…I believe in the princess."
The blonde girl, who was slightly shorter than the others, said with a cold expression.
"Xiao An, ah!"
The brown-haired girl was about to say something when she screamed subconsciously because a pair of slender hands came out from under her armpits and grabbed her breasts.
"Don't be so nervous, senior. I will protect you even if anything happens."
The girl with burgundy hair and a long thin braid leaned close to the brown-haired girl's face and blew gently into her ear.
The brown-haired girl felt weak all over.
The brown-haired girl who couldn't resist her companions was put into the silver melon seeds.
"Let's Go!"
As the pink-haired girl pressed the most prominent red button in the cockpit that looked most like a self-destruct device, the silver melon seed moved.
There was a very peculiar popping sound.
This melon seed actually broke the sound barrier the moment it started! ?
Chapter 223: The Rise of Cainan High School
"What the hell! What the hell went over there!?"
The above psychological activities appeared in the minds of almost all team members who were still struggling in the storm within just a few minutes.
The vision in a storm is quite blurry, and it is very difficult to see things clearly.
Those contestants who did not give up the raft held on to the wood beneath them, and some were even using the extra materials to repair the entire boat.
Simply put, it means supporting.
This half hour seemed quite long to them.
At this time, they could only feel a little comfort when they looked at other teams that were in the same misery as themselves.
But a high-tech ship, which was impossible to define, ruthlessly passed over these struggling people one after another. The air currents and huge waves it created even overturned many unlucky teams, forcing them into the water.
In a very short time, they rushed from the end of the team to the middle position, which seemed to completely negate the hard work of most teams in the past two hours.
"The Cainan High School team has shown their power! Is this the power of Deviluke Star technology!?"
The commentator Haruo was recording something while yelling.
It has to be said that Cainan High School's move was indeed a sudden rise, and it suddenly put the right side's leading position in jeopardy.
Whale VS alien hovercraft, this is indeed a bit unfair to the whale.
Moreover, it feels more like a space shuttle flying at a low altitude than a ship, which is obvious from the fact that it is not actually touching the water at all, and is basically suspended on the water.
But you can't say it's flying...
What’s more important is that all of these actions of Cainan High School are in compliance with the rules.
Lala Satalin Debiluk, one of the members of Cainan High School, used materials completely provided by the system. She just used the matter converter she carried with her to change the materials, and then carefully combined them with a universal tool. Even if she really built an airplane, it was actually allowed by the rules.
This universal hovercraft, which is most likely driven by the gravity between planets, also comes with various protective functions, which can be said to be extremely detailed.
It is only a matter of time before the right is overtaken.
"What the hell! What the hell went over there!?"
Youfang spurted out subconsciously, causing the other girls holding UNO cards to focus their attention on him.
He had previously released some aquatic species to observe the surrounding area. As soon as the head of one of the black sharks emerged from the water, he saw a white thing flying over his head and casually smashing half of the unfortunate black shark's head.
"Huh? It seems like you bumped into something?"
After knocking the shark to pieces, Lala was stunned for a few seconds and then shook her head decisively.
"Forget it, never mind."
First place, change.
The right side was not too sad to lose the temporary first place position.
Because there is really no way to compare this thing...
This is the power of science and technology, a realm that normal biological power cannot reach.
After learning from the commentary what was ahead of him, the person on the right was also convinced.
Elquet tried to communicate with his superiors, but was told that this thing was not from Earth, there was no information about it, and it could not be concretely presented.
Half an hour of chaotic weather made the sea kings lose the desire to attack, so the players only had to deal with the weather.
It was a tough half hour.
When the sea calmed down and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, most of the contestants looked like they had survived a disaster.
The players who abandoned their boats exchanged wood from the system and began to try to build a temporary structure on the water that could carry people.
Even Guofu's group of experienced animals were gasping for breath on the water, holding the logs, gasoline barrels and other things they had just exchanged.
How can I not be tired?
At this time, the first place Cai Nan High School has already left the right side by about 15% of the distance, and the right side is still at the 30% position. Cai Nan is almost at the middle of the entire race.
Alien technology is awesome!
However, the storm did pass, but after the storm, the sea kings began to become active again.
Anyway, the right thing is to make sure everyone doesn’t have to sit idle.
At this time, the exhausted team finally chose to withdraw from the competition.
They gritted their teeth and persevered when the storm was at its most violent, but after it was over they really felt uncomfortable all over.
This not only involves a question of physical strength, but also involves resistance to the turbulence of waves.
Many people have already experienced seasickness.
To put it bluntly, players who have less than 4 heart containers are more likely to experience this phenomenon.
You should know that not all players can achieve 100% completion in the novice story and get the extra partner recruitment spot, and not everyone can complete some hidden tasks to get this kind of reward.
Some people even slightly misunderstand the setting of this game, thinking that a partner is everything and that their own health is actually not important, so they frantically attack other NPCs and convert all their heart containers into partners.
This results in this type of player being extremely weak, and even their high-energy stats such as attack speed are very limited, not to mention the reality that they will die if they are touched.
Of course, this does not rule out those big guys who deliberately lower their health just to play without taking any damage with one red heart.
Some people with more blood lines may also get seasick.
This situation may also occur if there is no whale on the right and you are just sitting on a boat, after all, there is a semi-permanent vulnerable DEBUFF hanging on your head.
Needless to say, the sense of familiarity that the contestants who successfully withdrew from the competition felt the moment they stepped onto land again.
I even had the thought of kissing the earth.
It doesn’t matter if you give up this time, there are still three maps, right?
And even if you don’t get any rewards, it doesn’t matter too much. What’s important is participation.
At least this experience has made everyone realize the importance of comprehensive strength, that water battles are really terrible, that seasickness is really uncomfortable, and that knowledge changes destiny, these are points that need to be drawn red lines.
This wave of withdrawals directly reduced the number of players present by more than half, and the only ones left were relatively elite or tenacious guys.
There is no way for sea beasts and sea kings to stop them.
The right side is more conventional. The whale rushes forward and tears apart the sea kings when they encounter them. It is relatively stable.
During this period, Elquet said that she wanted to build a submarine with nuclear strike capability, drive it all the way, attack anyone she saw, and run away if she couldn't defeat them.
The right side nodded, then gave Elquet some questions.
"Can you fly a submarine?"
Arquette shook his head.
"Does the vehicle's fuel also need to be materialized frequently?"
Elquite nodded.
"Let my summon come..."
The right rejected Elquet's proposal.
At this time, Cainan High School, which was in first place, had just passed the midline of the race, and it was at this time that they received a prompt from the system.
[The sea area you are currently in is under the jurisdiction of the "Arlong Pirates" composed of fishmen. Your entry has attracted the attention of the Arlong Pirates. Please observe carefully while driving. Once you are discovered by the sentinels of the pirate group, you will be hunted down endlessly by this organization. ]
Chapter 224 The Pirates Lost Their Ship
When the black sperm whale surfaced to breathe and deliver extra oxygen to its body, it had already reached the middle of the race.
The second place on the right was well deserved.
The first place was far ahead of him, and he was also far ahead of those behind him.
Compared to the leisurely group on the right, the other teams in the front row were already beginning to get tired uncontrollably.
The most interesting team among them is Emiya's team.
The role played by the noble King Arthur now is essentially no different from that of Makoto Ito.
King Arthur, blessed by the Lady of the Lake, can walk on the water without sinking, so she now runs on the water pulling a rope.
The price for this humiliation was a steak buffet.
Emiya cleverly passed the cost onto the owner of the steak buffet, although the cost was that he would be blacklisted by that restaurant.
As for the road to the right, there is actually nothing much to say. Just fight and kill, and advance head-on, and it will be done.
We have now reached the middle position, which means that the right side has also received a prompt from the system, the prompt that it has entered the sphere of influence of the Arlong Pirates.
However, the prompt on the right seems to be a little wrong.
[The sea area you are currently in is under the jurisdiction of the "Arlong Pirates" composed of fishmen. For some reason, the Arlong Pirates have lost their pirate ship and are now in a state of extreme panic and anger. In this state, the members of the Arlong Pirates will attack all passing players, especially the teams with ships. ]
Youfang himself didn't know what was wrong with this hint. Only the audience knew the difference between the hints received by Misaki High School and Sainan High School, and why this happened.
