Chapter 166 Leaving the Ocean World
Chapter 166 Leaving the Ocean World
Even if you look down on this kind of suppressive civilization, as the saying goes, you should despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically.
In the overall trend of the eternal game, which encourages the progress of civilization, those civilizations that resort to underhanded tactics and suppression are destined to perish. The rebels will destroy them; this is an objective law that is independent of human will.
Think about it, these bastards are dealing with civilizations that have a deep foundation and great potential. Because their foundation isn't deep enough, if they try to plunder, they're likely to end up losing money.
In a fantasy film, this would be an organization dedicated to hunting down prodigies. What's even more intriguing is that they're bound by rules and can't simply kill the prodigies to silence them.
Once one of the prodigies recovers, we can tell them why they are prodigies.
However, on specific issues, Su Li also realized that for the Blue Star civilization, the process of resistance and revenge would be tortuous and arduous, and whether Blue Star could ultimately win was still uncertain.
As a rookie relegated to the revival round, Blue Star is quite different from such a predator.
After a fierce battle, four of the headhunter's heads were shattered, leaving only one head, which was still struggling to hold on.
However, they had virtually no chance to fight back against Qi Guohui's combat squad.
Qi Guohui's team consists of a guardian, a warrior, physical and magical damage dealers, a healer, and a support. It is a very well-rounded exploration team, capable of handling any situation.
Su Li was very tempted by the squad's configuration.
Su Li's team seems to be missing a support character with special buffs and debuffs, as well as a magic damage dealer.
Wait a minute.
Su Li suddenly realized something: Sophia seemed to have, perhaps, maybe, changed her class to magic damage dealer.
Of the various enchanted bullets she uses, 70% of the damage is magical. The physical damage comes entirely from the bullets' inherent destructive power.
Su Li considered his damage output capabilities again. He mainly relied on the Sun and Moon Revolving Sword for damage; the Sun Sword combined solar element with high temperature, while the Moon Sword combined lunar element with low temperature. Strictly speaking, he should be classified as a magic swordsman.
Oh no, it seems the team is most lacking in physical damage dealers?
It's somewhat ironic that a team whose main damage output consists of warriors and archers lacks physical damage dealers.
While Su Li was still wondering if her team had gone astray, the Hai Chao people suddenly erupted.
Hai Chaoren took out a crystal ball from his inventory and crushed it at Qi Guohui and the others.
An extremely powerful blue lightning bolt burst forth from the shattered crystal ball, engulfing Qi Guohui and his companions.
Qi Guohui immediately raised his shield and, together with the mage and healer, quickly set up an energy defense line.
However, the purpose of this blue lightning was not to cause harm, but to hinder Qi Guohui and his group's actions.
The blue lightning instantly froze Qi Guohui and his companions into a solid block of ice, immobilizing them.
The sea creature seemed to curse loudly, and then took out another prop. Su Li recognized it at a glance. Wasn't that the prop that Qi Guohui had given her before, the one she used to escape early?
Before Hai Chaoren could use his tools, the golden water instantly enveloped him and forcefully snapped his neck.
It was Ockham who made the move.
Sophia guessed, "Such a powerful restrictive item doesn't seem like a Black Iron-level item."
“Yes, it’s probably a silver-level item.” Su Li nodded. “That’s the advantage of having a powerful civilization behind you.”
A kitchen knife that you can buy anywhere in modern times would have been a legendary blade capable of cutting hair in an instant in ancient times. This is one of the benefits of a powerful civilization.
For a civilization like Earth, whose overall level is still below Iron, even Iron-level equipment is a treasure. But for civilizations where most people have reached Silver level, Silver consumables aren't difficult to obtain. Iron-level items? They're basically mass-produced goods in shops.
After the battle, Su Li and the others waited in the fortress for Qi Guohui and his group to return, and also to check on the corpse of the Sea Tide Man.
The logistics personnel immediately sealed up the bodies of the Tide People and then traded them to researchers from the Blue Star government.
As evening approached, the beast tide at 8 PM was easily resolved, and Su Li received the reward for this beast tide.
[Based on the size of the beast tide, you have received beast tide rewards]
[The beast tide has ended. You have obtained 300 Survival Coins, 1 Selectable Blueprint Boxes, and 1 Selectable Item Boxes.]
The rewards from the beast tide were negligible, because there were too many of them, and Su Li and his group didn't even have to lift a finger before the beast tide was dealt with.
Su Li opened the selection blueprint box, browsed through it, but found nothing useful; they were all underwater combat-specific items. Finally, Su Li chose the blueprint for [High-Quality Bait].
After opening the item box, Su Li selected a universal item: [Healing Potion *3].
The system rewards were minimal; the bulk of the gains came from the compensation provided by the United Government.
The specific compensation will be discussed properly after we return to Blue Star City.
But that's all in the future.
The time came to 12 o'clock, and the teleportation gate opened.
After Su Li and the others confirmed that nothing had been missed, they closed the curtains.
They can't afford another accident like last time; they don't have enough survival coins to squander.
After confirming everything was correct, Su Li pulled the switch. The train slowly started moving and entered the portal.
Su Li watched as the scenery outside slowly disappeared, the sea in the night became deep and dark, and the ceremony in the distance was still going on, the radiance of the ceremony giving the ocean a sense of depth.
With his last glance, Su Li saw Ockham gazing at the giant serpent in the distance. He wondered what Ockham was thinking now, whether despair welled up within him knowing that he was nothing more than a phantom of the past.
Probably not, because he also received a message that his civilization still existed. Although his people lived a hard life in the Eternal Game, they did exist in some corner of the void, living a down-to-earth life.
For a king who was willing to become a spirit in order to protect his sleeping people, this must be the best news imaginable.
As the last glimmer of blue in the world faded from the corner of her eye, Su Li closed the last curtain.
Their story in this world has come to an end. Now, they will go to many more places to explore and develop, until the end of time.
