"There are many good things in this treasure chest, but it's a pity that I can only choose one."
Looking at the long list of reward options in front of him, Wang Zhifan felt a little regretful at the moment, because he wanted a lot of things, but he could only choose one.
"The Excellent Tier equipment on the combat side will improve me, but it basically cannot bring about a qualitative change in my strength. I should consider the choice from a long-term perspective."
The battle that just ended just now left Wang Zhifan with a lot of feelings, letting him know that his current strength is only very strong compared to most players, but it is not good enough for the truly high-end powers in the dungeon. Sometimes it is even as weak as an ant. He knows that this fact cannot be changed by just adding a piece of Excellent Tier equipment. He can only obtain a greater and more essential improvement.
"Just choose this Faceless Statue. Although it will not improve my current strength at all, in the long run, it will definitely help me reach a higher level."
After thinking for a while, Wang Zhifan made this final choice. His choice was entirely based on long-term considerations, in order to use this Faceless Statue to launch new plans and tap the potential of the Supreme Blood he already had, so as to obtain a more substantial improvement.
Originally, he had already built a prototype of this plan in his mind. He had a rough idea but it was far from perfect. But now that Faceless Statue, a professional counterpart, appeared, he naturally wanted to seize this opportunity.
"One day, my strength will grow to the level of Old God in the sky before, and even far surpass him."
Because of the real blow, Wang Zhifan was currently burning with unprecedented ambitions. He put the ordinary-looking stone sculpture Faceless Statue in the treasure chest into his portable space. This object was currently in a suspended miniature state and did not take up much space when placed in the space. However, it would be different when it was actually placed.
In this way, after the thrill of this day, the voyage from Wang Zhifan to the Storm Sea returned to the boredom and calmness of the previous half month. However, this calmness was broken again after only two days, because this time they finally encountered robbers at sea.
"Captain! There is a ship approaching us at high speed! I recognize their flag, it is a very vicious Black Giant Pirates! We must stay away from them as soon as possible!"
At this time, a dark-skinned middle-aged man came to Wang Zhifan. He was a senior sailor and navigator they had recruited at Princess Port. As soon as he discovered an uninvited guest on the distant sea, he hurriedly ran to report to the captain Wang Zhifan.
"Black Giant Pirates? Are there giants among this group of pirates?"
Facing this slightly nervous crew member, Wang Zhifan seemed quite calm at the moment, even a little cold.
"There are no giants among them, but their boss is a notoriously cruel man on this sea! Because he is tall and black, he is called Black Giant! Captain, let's evacuate quickly! This is a powerful enemy!"
After explaining, the crew member urged Wang Zhifan again because he was the captain of the ship and they could not change the route at will without his permission.
"Forget it, I don't want to waste time. Besides, I may not be able to get rid of the opponent and let the entire crew prepare for battle."
After giving instructions to the crew member to leave, Wang Zhifan then stood up from the deck chair, walked out of the captain's cabin, and came to the deck.
In fact, it is very likely that he discovered the approaching pirate ship on the sea earlier than the sailor just now, because his perception has already been powerful to a level that ordinary people cannot imagine, but he is too lazy to pay attention to such a target, but now that the other party comes to him, he can only continue.
"There shouldn't be anyone particularly powerful on that pirate ship, otherwise I would have noticed it, and there are no huge sea beasts hidden around them. This shows that their strength should not be as good as Big Horn Shark Pirates."
Staring at a large black ship on the sea that was getting closer and closer, and looking at the even darker flag hanging on the ship's mast, Wang Zhifan concentrated his perception for a second or two, then turned and looked in the direction of the cabin.
This is because he knew that Chen Ming and Chen Can had come up to the deck. They were resting in the cabin when something happened and they were called out by the crew.
"Brother Fan! I heard that I encountered pirates! Is there going to be a war?"
Chen Ming boy had already picked up the gun in his hand and ran over with excitement on his face. There was no trace of nervousness at all.
Only Chen Can behind him looked seriously at the black pirate ship on the sea in the distance, and his face could be seen to be somewhat solemn.
"Yes, if nothing else goes wrong, the battle is about to begin, and it should be the pirates' favorite boarding battle. Here is the opportunity for you two to increase your actual combat experience."
Wang Zhifan first nodded to Chen Ming and then glanced at Chen Can who was further back.
"Brother Fan, what should we do? Should we assist you in fighting? Or should we find a corner and prepare ourselves first?"
When Chen Can saw Wang Zhifan looking at him, he immediately asked. He had wanted this kind of opportunity for actual combat for a long time, but he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he faced the battle.
"You two just hide on the side of the ship and prepare to fire. I will draw the firepower and provide support."
Wang Zhifan touched his chin and ordered. Then in a blink of an eye, he saw a very tall figure coming to his side. It was the Crocodile Man giant man who had no presence on the ship recently.
"Old Crocodile, you will be responsible for guarding our ship later and don't let any pirates get too deep."
He then raised his head slightly and said to this powerful foreign giant. He knew the opponent's fighting power well. It would be no problem for one to defeat ten ordinary pirates.
"As commanded."
Crocodile Man The giant man responded immediately. He was currently fully armed and looked like a steel can, obviously ready for battle.
In this way, just a few minutes later, just as Wang Zhifan expected, the black pirate ship on the sea came closer to them. The pirates discovered that their ship did not even know how to escape, and soon let out bursts of excited shouts, which could be heard clearly from a distance.
"Hahaha! Thank you Sea God! I met a big fish today!"
"This boat looks really nice! It will definitely fetch a good price!"
"Brothers! Kill all their men! Steal their ship!"
Amidst the noise of pirates, the dark pirate ship quickly caught up to the side of Great White Shark, and then several pirates threw hook locks at Great White Shark, trying to secure the big fish.
But at this time, Wang Zhifan, who was standing on the deck, suddenly exerted his strength. He first slashed with his long knife, and then used the light of his knife to cut off all the hook locks thrown at him. Then he jumped up and jumped to the deck of the pirate ship over a distance of more than ten meters in the blink of an eye.
But when he fell into the opponent's base camp, he did not directly start killing people. Instead, he burst into the deeper part of the pirate ship's deck like a rocket, causing the pirates to be stunned for a while.
"The guy looking for death!"
"Everyone, please kill him!"
"Brothers, come together!"
Discovering that someone rushed into the center of their siege so defiantly, the shock on the faces of the pirates suddenly turned into anger. Everyone began to attack Wang Zhifan who got in. It seemed that the numerical advantage alone was enough to completely submerge this reckless guy.
However, with Wang Zhifan's current strength and his perception, he didn't take these pirates seriously at all. He had already judged that these guys were not very powerful in combat, and the strongest one was at the level of Crocodile Man's giant man.
When all the pirates around him surrounded him from all directions, he kept turning his body with a long knife in his hand. It seemed that he had lost his sense of proportion and seemed not to know how to deal with so many enemies. When the pirates rushed to him with a grin and attacked him with a scimitar or a long sword, he seemed to have gone crazy and ignored these close attacks, and directly slashed the long knife in his hand at an enemy around him.
When the pirates saw his mindless fighting style, they felt ridiculous from the bottom of their hearts and attacked him with their weapons. But at this time, they finally discovered something was wrong.
First of all, they felt that the attacks of their own people did not hit the physical body. The weapons all penetrated like phantoms. On the contrary, the weapons wielded by this strange guy were very powerful. With just one knife, he beheaded a pirate and the blade he raised to block.
"No! This is a ghost! Use spells to attack!"
One pirate reacted quickly. After a round of fighting, he loudly reminded others to give up physical attacks and use spells that had special effects on non-entities. But before he could finish his words, two other identical "ghosts" appeared on the deck and began a multi-point synchronized high-efficiency killing, confusing the pirates.
"These people are too weak, so they are suitable for me to practice controlling Dream Self clones in combat."
What the pirates don't know is that Wang Zhifan is not actually killing people on the deck. He himself has jumped to the mast to overlook the chaos below. The three "hims" who are killing randomly on the deck are actually his Dream Self clones, so they don't show any entity.
"After Great Dream Saber Scripture was upgraded to Lv4, my Dream Self clones have become a lot stronger. Any one of them can easily kill these pirates. This kind of strength is impossible for previous clones. However, they are still not strong enough and can only serve as support when facing strong enemies."
Wang Zhifan, who was squatting on the mast, looked at the Dream Self clones below who tried to use spells to attack him, but were frustrated by the Dream Self clones disappearing one after another and causing the spells to hit their own pirates. He made an objective judgment in his heart.
The fact that he used Dream Transformation of Myriad Realms in the battle with the mysterious woman two days ago shows that his Great Dream Saber Scripture has been improved. This kind of improvement is naturally not just as simple as acquiring new sword skills. It is an all-round improvement to his Blademaster strength. However, he still feels that he is not very strong and still needs to improve.
"Forget it... there's no point in killing these guys... leave them to Chen Ming brothers."
Controlling three clones of Dream Self confused the situation on the deck of the pirate ship, making the pirates too tired to deal with it and unable to take care of other people on board Great White Shark. Wang Zhifan then deliberately drove the pirates toward the side of the ship close to Great White Shark.
Like a shepherd driving her sheep, he asked three clones to quickly kill the pirates from one side of the deck. The pirates found that they could not defeat these three "ghosts". After encountering a huge threat to their lives, they would naturally run away frantically towards the other side of the deck, until they fled to the side of the ship.
At this time, Chen Ming and Chen Can, who had already been told by Wang Zhifan to find a position and prepare for battle, began to exert their strength. Both of them had firearms with quality Rare Tier as weapons, especially Chen Can. He was also a gunner himself. Although he was only at the first level, his accuracy in marksmanship had already been revealed.
The novice player was seen hiding behind a large wooden box on the deck. He had a stern look on his face. As soon as he showed up, he fired a rifle at those who were approaching on the deck of the pirate ship opposite. The bullet hit rate was not only 100%, but 90%. Before the magazine was emptied, almost 20 pirates died under his gun, and about half of them died from headshots. The scene looked quite bloody and crazy.
In comparison, Chen Ming, who was hiding on the other side, did not have such a dazzling record as his brother. Although this kid previously claimed that his marksmanship was among the top three among all his friends, it could be seen that he fired continuously for a long time before hitting two or three pirates, and none of these pirates were directly killed by him. They all died from the precise firepower supplemented by Chen Can.
"The output ability of professional gunners is really not bad. Even if Chen Can is only Lv1, he can still use the firearm in his hand to deal fatal damage. Not only is it very efficient, but it is also safer because he keeps a distance."
Wang Zhifan, who was still staying on the mast of the pirate ship, witnessed all this and immediately admired in his heart. He felt that if his career as a player could be repeated, he would probably choose to work as a gunner. After all, the way of fighting to defeat enemies from a distance is really refreshing.
"Ah!!!"
"Sea God is on top!"
"I'll fight with you!"
After a while, a black and strong Black Bear-like leader on the pirate ship finally fell into madness due to the huge casualties. He could not even command his ship to escape because there were three unsolvable "ghosts" who killed all the people who controlled the ship. He could only rush to the enemy ship to see if he could open up a situation.
Fortunately, the two ships were already very close. He used a special piece of armor on his body to withstand the firepower from the opposite side and jumped over. But before he could start to cause trouble for the two gunmen, a giant man in steel armor who was completely fit for purpose rushed towards him and almost knocked him directly into the sea.
