Chapter 233: Chapter 220: The Divine Artifact that Creates the Ghost Ship

The night falls, and the long-absent moon appears in the cold night sky of the Northern Ocean. Under the moonlight, the ice floes of the Ice Ocean reflect each other beautifully. Great, there’s even no need for lighting. Da Fei’s fleet makes a horizontal turn and takes a detour in the blackout.

Of course, this means taking a longer route, and what’s more important, it will pass through completely unfamiliar waters, even areas that no one has ever ventured into before. This is the most troublesome and dangerous part. Maybe the Vikings are foolishly waiting ahead in the cold wind? Maybe foolishly chasing from behind? Or maybe scaring himself for nothing? It doesn’t matter. Better safe than sorry, especially since we’ve come this far.

A night without incident, and the next day is another clear day. At this time, the fleet is still heading farther away from the original course.

Da Fei keeps looking up at the sky to see if there are any yellow spots appearing, but for now, there are none. Maybe the opposition has suddenly lost the target and is searching too? To be safe, Da Fei decides to keep going for another day and night, and then correct the course tomorrow morning. Since they’ve already taken a cautious detour, they might as well be thoroughly careful.

While looking around, a system prompt sounds.

—-System Prompt: Your Divine Artifact Equipment, the Sea Soul Staff, has completed absorbing and transforming souls, gaining 4630 points of Mana, acquiring a Middle-level Sea Soul +1, and the Sea Soul Staff has gained a special skill: Ghost Ship Rebirth.

—-Ghost Ship Rebirth: The Sea Soul transformed by the Sea Soul Staff can be infused into the ship, creating a Ghost Ship!

Da Fei is suddenly startled! Creating a Ghost Ship!

At the same time, Anlicia also takes out her Magic Wand in surprise and says, “Wow! The Magic Wand has changed its appearance!”

At this moment, the Magic Wand is surrounded by enchanting Demon Light, no longer just a transparent glass bead and bone wand! Indeed, this looks like a Divine Artifact!

Looking at this special skill that suddenly appeared, Da Fei suddenly realizes! So this is how a Ghost Ship comes into being, indeed the Divine Artifact dropped by the BOSS and the BOSS’s skills are somewhat related, aren’t they?

So how do you use this transformation skill? At least find a ship first, right? Can my current seat ship be used? Let’s try? Then just try, really bored and itching to do something.

Choose to use the Ghost Ship Rebirth special skill!

—-System Prompt: Currently, your Divine Artifact reserves one Middle-level Sea Soul, which can be used for rebirth on medium or small ships. The higher the level of the Sea Soul, the more worn the ship, the better the rebirth effect.

—-System Prompt: Are you sure you want to rebirth the Middle-level Sea Soul on your “Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship”? This transformation will consume 3000 points of the Sea Soul Staff’s reserved Mana.

Confirm!

The Magic Wand flashes, and a white wisp of smoke drifts out from the glass bead, swirling around the cockpit momentarily before disappearing.

—-System Prompt: Congratulations! You have successfully transformed your medium armored transport into a Level 0 Ghost Ship! Ship speed +2, Defense -15, Durability upper limit -4000, added special skill: Emergency Acceleration.

Da Fei is dumbfounded on the spot! What the heck! Renior’s transformation into a Ghost Ship is to massively boost Defense and Health to withstand Skira, and now mine reduces Defense and Health? Is it because my ship is too new and not worn enough, so the transformation effect is poor?

Da Fei hurries to check the ship attributes:

Ship name: Galen Medium Armored Cargo Ship (renamable).

Current level: 0.

Ship special skill: Emergency Acceleration. Activating this skill will further increase the overall speed of the ship by 20%, but once the skill is activated, the ship’s maneuverability will greatly reduce, and its Durability will continually decline.

Ship cargo capacity: 300 units

Gun Cabin: 4 gun positions. (2 on the port side, 2 on the starboard side)

Minimum sailor capacity: 8 people

Ship Durability: 26000/26000 (-4000)

Speed: 10 (+2)

Ship Armor Defense: Port 35, Starboard 35, Bow 15, Stern 15. (-15)

…

Currently at level 0! That means the ship has gained life, which is essential for a Ghost Ship! It’s also gained a special skill but the cost is losing Blood Defense! Damn, isn’t this special skill exactly the Octopus’s Emergency Acceleration skill?

Da Fei suddenly realizes, this ship is indeed possessed by the soul of an octopus! It seems that the sea soul of different creatures will determine the attributes of the Ghost Ship! No wonder it’s completely different from Renior’s.

Speaking of this Giant Octopus’s special skill, other than constantly losing blood and unable to turn, it’s damn awesome because this skill provides an overall enhancement. The 20% from this Emergency Acceleration is a totally different concept from the 20% increase in base ship speed per level of Sailing Skill. If Catherine was to navigate this ship, her Grandmaster Sailing Skill increases the speed by 120% plus the 25% from being a Master-level Pirate, then a 10 points speed could go up to 24.5! Then activate Emergency Acceleration and increase the speed by another 20% to 29.4! The ship’s maximum speed is 29.4 meters per second! That’s like an F1 powerboat!

The higher the Sailing Skill of the Captain and First Officer, the more useful this Emergency Acceleration skill!

Holy crap, such a great special skill on a medium-sized ship, what a pity!

No no no, can’t think like that! I’ve been spoiled by owning two large ships, so I look down on medium-sized ships, but actually, players can only sail medium-sized ships for quite some time, right? I can sell it! Lowering the attribute doesn’t matter, as the ship now has life and can gradually upgrade and recover its attributes!

And medium-sized ships have their irreplaceable value, like in rivers, shoals, swamps, places where large ships can’t go. Just convert all cargo holds to gun cabins, and it’ll be a perfect high-speed small gunboat reigning supreme in rivers!

This ship can definitely fetch a good price! 100,000? 200,000? 300,000? Hahaha, about the price of a small car! No no no, wait until I level it up a few times, and its attributes get stronger, then it will definitely sell well! This Divine Artifact really lives up to being a Divine Artifact, just absorb a few more Sea Souls and I can mass-produce special skill Ghost Ships! I’m really going to strike it big! This is like finding a money printing machine! Hahaha, I’m so awesome!

Ah wait! Mass production? It can’t be that easy, can it?

To transform a medium-sized ship requires a Middle-level Sea Soul. Why does a Giant Octopus which can escape easily provide 200,000 Experience, and only powerful Sea Monsters that can drop ship figureheads as specialty products are Middle-level Sea Souls? What about the High-level Sea Souls required to transform large ships? Are they Renior-like hero BOSS level creatures?

Damn! If transforming a medium-sized ship requires killing an Octopus-level Sea Monster, then producing Ghost Ships is not only tough but also involves considerable risks! Think about all these Sea Monsters these past few days, which one could I actually beat? Let alone think about transforming large ships!

Upon realization, Da Fei shakes his head and laughs heartily, thinking too much! Focusing on what’s in the bowl while eyeing what’s in the field, can I manage that?

Anyway, Da Fei, having figured out the use of the Divine Artifact, feels refreshed and relieved, sweeping away the overnight fatigue.

Another day has passed, the Albatross hasn’t appeared, which is good! Running another night, completely throwing off the Vikings.

Around midnight, the ethereal singing comes again, Da Fei’s heart tightens, another Sea Demon! But why does this singing sound so ethereal and clear and not at all demonic?

No matter that, Da Fei waves his hand at Anlicia: “Skira get ready!”

Just then, the Order Flag Bearer joyfully reports: “Captain, the Whale Hunter has sent a message, we might have encountered a Sea Hermit!” (To be continued.
