In this world.

"Defense Value" is a dynamic attribute.

It will continuously adjust based on factors such as the character's armor, relevant skills, physical condition, terrain, and climate.

However, the "Base Defense Value" is different.

It refers to a character's fixed attributes when they are unequipped.

Humanoid creatures typically don't have very high Base Defense Value.

Its main components are hair, skin, muscles, special organs, etc.

Looking at the data panel...

The Base Defense Value is approximately half of the constitution value.

For example, Roger now.

The Base Defense Value should theoretically be 6 points.

But he has "Unceasingly Flourishing".

So it became 12 o'clock.

On this basis.

If he wears the Martial Artist Set, his Defense Value will fluctuate around 20 points; if he is willing to bear the cumbersome cost, he can also wear the Iron Armor Series, at which point his Defense Value will reach a very considerable 60 points.

This is evident.

It's not too difficult to increase the revised Defense Value.

But it comes at an additional cost.

However, increasing the Base Defense Value is extremely difficult.

In most cases.

It depends solely on one's constitution.

Therefore.

Every opportunity to increase Base Defense Value is extremely valuable.

This is also why Roger chose to become a "Qi Master".

He didn't know how much weight "Skin's Base Defense Value" accounted for in the overall Base Defense Value.

I wonder if this thing's improvement will lead to an increase in physical fitness.

He only knew one thing—

He's about to go on a killing spree!

The pure white moonlight shone on the rocks.

Roger's body suddenly became blurry.

0.8 seconds later.

He changed into a jet-black robe.

His previously empty hands now each gripped a dagger.

"Evil Armband: One-click outfit change successful"

"You are equipped with the ' Assassin Master's Night Clothes '."

"You are equipped with the ' Mad Fang Dagger ' and the ' Flicker Dagger '."

"You've taken the ' Master Qu Feng's Water-Avoiding Pearl into your mouth."

The next second.

Roger went into the sea without making a sound.

Under the "Night Clothes's " super-strong perception shielding ability.

He slowly swam towards the battlefield.

Not a single monster noticed his presence.

The mutated mermaids and the Abyssal Water Ghost fought fiercely.

This gave Roger a lot of room to maneuver.

Sizzle!

Beside the coral reef.

A crude harpoon pierced the Abyssal Water Ghost's chest.

But the latter grabbed the harpoon and started fighting with its owner.

Although the mermaids had the upper hand.

But Abyssal Water Ghost are incredibly resilient.

The water ghost fought back desperately.

But the mermaid's advantage lies in its agility and the initiative it holds.

Both sides are evenly matched, and both are talented individuals.

What a fierce battle it was!

A handsome young man dressed in Night Clothes swam by leisurely.

"How long are you going to keep fighting like this?"

He muttered something to himself.

Then he kicked a nearby rock.

They rushed over and each of them was stabbed.

They took their lives with precision and ruthlessness!

Immediately afterwards.

The two corpses then suddenly disappeared into the sea.

Roger shook his legs.

Try to swim towards other monsters.

that's all.

Under the influence of True Sight and Extraordinary Perception.

He successfully targeted one after another heavily wounded or dying monsters.

He took on the task of finishing off the enemy.

Considering that farming Twin Demons requires an immediate one-on-one battle to be effective.

Roger deliberately chose a spot slightly off-center.

Assassinations in pairs would be ideal.

If all else fails...

He could only jump back and forth repeatedly.

This method of assassinating on the fringes of the battlefield is not very efficient.

But its advantage lies in safety.

Roger possessed the ability to Sea Walking and a water-repelling pearl.

But his strength would be greatly reduced if he actually fought in the sea.

Even if it's an assassination.

He also had to be very careful.

Relying on the enhanced "Ten Years One Sword", he provides equal treatment to both monsters.

In response to this.

Roger, on the other hand, was very patient.

Tonight, let's take this opportunity to get a feel for the twins' abilities.

Once he had prepared the fleet...

Then we can implement a "catch them all in one fell swoop" plan.

And so it ended.

He committed a despicable killing spree all night.

Until dawn.

The mermaids and water ghosts dispersed.

Roger then leisurely returned to the Earl.

In the captain's cabin.

A knock came at the door.

"Come in."

Roger yawned.

Megan burst through the door in a flurry of activity:

"Ship... Father."

When do we set off for "Sea Beast Bay"?

Roger paused for a moment:

"Stay one more night."

I had a really good time killing people last night.

We completely forgot about the treasure hunt.

That trench is said to be visible only at night.

I can only go tonight.

Faced with such an order.

Megan was somewhat surprised.

But he just nodded silently.

That night.

Roger re-enters the reef area.

Unfortunately, they stumbled upon a bitter and vengeful battle between mermaids and water ghosts.

He shook his head. "No."

"I'm a man on a treasure hunt."

"Don't be greedy for momentary pleasure."

The next second.

His figure floated lightly into the sea.

The next day.

In the captain's cabin.

Megan looked somewhat haggard.

Roger felt slightly embarrassed, but his face remained perfectly calm as he said:

"Stay one more night."

Megan frowned slightly.

She didn't say anything, just nodded and left.

The third day.

Megan knocked lightly on the captain's cabin door.

A slightly tired voice came from inside:

"Stay one more night."

Megan and the old sailors around her exchanged bewildered glances.

Thinking about the strange noises I've heard these past few nights.

They couldn't help but become worried.

Day four.

Megan arrived at the captain's cabin door.

But there was a piece of paper pasted on the door of the captain's cabin.

The words written on it are crooked and slanted:

"Stay one more night."

Megan sighed softly.

He didn't ask any more questions.

that's all.

Time passed day by day.

On the night of the seventh day.

Roger, who couldn't resist stabbing the twins whenever he saw them, finally found a golden opportunity to find treasure!

tonight.

The mermaid and the water ghost seemed to have made a pact not to appear.

Take this opportunity.

Roger, who was sitting on the reef, quickly took out the Mermaid Necklace and put it on.

"You used Mermaid Transformation."

"Hint: You have been transformed into an ugly mermaid (LV54/Elite)"

Splash! Splash! Splash! The wet tail slapped against the rocks for a moment.

Roger felt a suffocating sensation.

The next moment.

He jumped into the sea.

That instant.

Every cell in his body seemed to be groaning.

Using the mermaid's abilities.

Roger dived into the sea at an extremely fast speed.

One hour later.

He finally touched the deep, dark seabed.

There is little light here.

Only the occasional passing lanternfish and eerie bioluminescent shellfish provide a little light.

The hazy light looked beautiful and warm.

In reality, it is extremely dangerous.

Roger swam Mi Mi across the seabed, not daring to disturb any monsters.

Even a random lanternfish in the ocean is a monster of level 80 or higher.

You might just stumble upon a giant crab that's a Lord Template.

With his current strength.

We must keep a very low profile!

To increase stealth capabilities.

Roger tried to dress the mermaid.

Unfortunately, the system indicated that the "Night Clothes" were rare items and the mermaid could not wear them.

On the contrary, the lace-like "Invisibility Cloak" can be worn.

For safety reasons.

Roger could only put Invisibility Cloak on the mermaid.

At present.

He transformed into an invisible mermaid.

It was swimming rapidly on the seabed.

Searching for the entrance to the trench mentioned in the travel guide.

But this visit lasted a full 3 hours.

Although I was mentally prepared.

But the vastness and mystery of the ocean floor still exceeded Roger's imagination.

Even if he has True Sight and Extraordinary Perception.

He also couldn't find any references in the guide.

Several shipwrecks did pass by.

But the place had been thoroughly looted and was now a paradise for marine life.

"Finding a needle in a haystack is indeed extremely difficult."

"I don't know if that guide is real or fake."

Roger hesitated for a moment, then slowly stopped beside an unmanned shipwreck.

The ocean floor is so vast.

Even with approximate coordinates, it is difficult to find the supposedly extremely deep and hidden trench.

But he's already here.

We can't just give up halfway.

This thought came to mind.

He was prepared to use divination.

Although his current divination is consuming the Clear Spring Sect's fortune, it feels like he's misappropriating public funds.

But as the saying goes, a strong sect leader makes a strong sect.

"I'm doing this so that the Clear Spring Sect can develop better."

"I suppose my fellow disciples on Mi Star won't blame me."

Roger silently cast a divination.

"Divination: The Location of the Treasure Seclusion Trench"

"Divination Result: Too close to display the result. Please launch ' Ultimate Hunter ' for navigation."

Roger had a sudden inspiration and activated the Ultimate Hunter.

Using clues provided by divination.

A pale golden solid line formed in his field of vision.

Follow that solid line.

Roger swam gracefully through the territory of a group of bigmouth fish.

Finally, beneath a layer of fine white sand.

The entrance to the "Treasure Seclusion Trench" has been found!

Looking at the entrance, which was only wide enough for one person to bend over and pass through.

Overjoyed, Roger couldn't help but ask the probing question, "What kind of player is he...?"

"How the hell did they find a place like this?"

"This is the epitome of squeezing into any crack!"

The next moment.

He arched his back.

They squeezed in with great effort.

The interior of the trench is a hidden world.

After entering.

The originally frigid seawater suddenly became warm.

Roger could vaguely see it.

distance.

An underwater volcano is erupting silently.

Large amounts of magma flowed from both sides of the trench.

It was outlined as a narrow 'eye'.

The inside of the eye.

It is an extremely deep underwater canyon.

Roger swam away.

A short while later.

They discovered a sunken starship!

Scattered sparks of electricity flickered around the starship.

The unique repulsive force field of the Cowas People pushes the seawater away.

A hollow, pot-shaped region was formed around the starship.

Just like that time when "Unexpected Calamity".

This is a UFO-class Starship!

The difference is...

That ship was only half full.

And this one is complete! Starship in sight.

Roger was excited, but he didn't lose his temper.

He calmly toured the surrounding area for a long time.

A monster guarding the starship has been successfully discovered!

That was an "Abyssal Electric Eel" lurking in the white sand of the seabed! The electric eel was 30 meters long.

It is thick at the head and thin at the tail.

In this seabed teeming with monsters, its level isn't high, only level 81.

However, its template is a rare "rare elite".

The so-called rare elite.

It is an evolutionary state that lies between elites and lords.

Most rare elites have the potential to evolve into Lord Template.

As far as Roger knows...

Marine organisms have particularly strong evolutionary potential.

Especially in battle.

"This electric eel has clearly been lingering at the level of a rare elite for a long time; it might evolve any second now..."

This thought came to mind.

Roger didn't hesitate at all.

After confirming that there are no other monsters nearby.

He removed his Invisibility Cloak, held the water-repelling bead in his mouth, and reverted to his mermaid form.

Then came the relentless, all-or-nothing "Self-Sacrificing Strike"! Fifteen seconds later.

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have used ' Self-Sacrificing Strike ' 60 times on ' Abyssal Electric Eel '."

"You've achieved a new milestone by using 60 Self-Sacrificing Strike within 15 seconds - Such Fast Impact!"

"Such Fast Impact: only electric eels know this taste."

"Corresponding title: 4 Times Per Second (Your prone stand-up speed is increased by 50%)"

Inside the air shield of the water-repellent bead.

Roger sat quietly on the unseeing corpse of the Abyssal Electric Eel, drinking his potion.

Drink while you drink.

While reviewing the newly acquired expertise.

"You killed the Abyssal Electric Eel (Sea Creature/Rare Elite/Extraordinary)"

"Extermination Order reward successfully obtained. You have acquired the Abyssal Electric Eel's special ability - Underwater Catapult."

"Underwater Catapult (7th Ring Feat / Self-Adaptive Adjustment): Your body can use the water pressure at the bottom of the sea to launch continuous super-launches."

The higher the sea pressure, the stronger the ejection force you can utilize.
