Chapter 299: Shipbuilding Talent
It was already daytime in the game, and a large number of players were moving through the Guild Residence, preparing for today's defensive battle.
Today was the fifth day of the town's defensive battle.
Including today, there were only the last three days left before it ended.
The rankings on the individual contribution list changed frequently, and even the top ten were constantly shifting. The Gods Guild still only had four players in the top ten, but they had already advanced to the top four, meaning the top four were all players from the Gods Guild.
Among the top hundred, there were already nearly forty players, leaving ten players short of the goal.
Soon, the rest of the Guild's high-level personnel also came online.
Just like yesterday, today's attack was also ten towns in the morning and ten towns in the afternoon. After grouping up, everyone quietly waited for the system notification.
【Wu Shuang City Broadcast: The fifth day of the Undead Legion's attack has arrived. The offensive will proceed with attacks on ten towns in the morning and ten towns in the afternoon. All players and forces are requested to respond carefully.】
With the appearance of the broadcast, Guild players stationed in various towns immediately sent messages.
The ten towns for the morning attack had been confirmed.
Immediately, a large number of Guild players set out.
Li Xiang also set out, heading towards the nearest attacked town with Lu Qingshui.
...
The morning ended quickly. With previous combat experience, only the Undead Mammoth Knight was slightly difficult to deal with, while the other minions were easy to handle.
Li Xiang also obtained another Skill Solidification Orb.
This time, the skill Li Xiang chose to solidify was Guardian Shield!
「Guardian Shield: Guardian! Release a Guardian Shield (Shield Value: Self HP x3), granting the target the power to resist everything (Shield duration 15min).」
Cooldown: 5min
Release a Guardian Shield, applying it to the target. The shield value is three times the caster's own HP.
In other words, if Li Xiang casts this skill on a companion, that companion will gain a shield value of three times Li Xiang's HP.
For other players, this skill simply provides a few times their HP.
But for Li Xiang, who has nearly 1.7 million HP...
He can directly apply a 5.1 million shield to the target. This shield can resist all damage!
It can be said that this is a divine skill to protect teammates!
Combined with the Light Guardian skill from the Light Guardian necklace, it can completely make a teammate invincible for a period of time.
Furthermore, Li Xiang also has the ability of the Blood God, which can further increase his HP limit.
In the end, Li Xiang's HP can reach over ten million.
At that time, if he adds Magic War Shield and then casts a Guardian Shield on himself, Li Xiang's own HP can approach the hundred million mark!!!
Even more of a BOSS than a BOSS...
「Ding! Consuming a Skill Solidification Orb, skill 'Guardian Shield' solidified successfully!」
Looking at the extra skill in his skill bar, Li Xiang's mouth curved up.
The duration of Guardian Shield's shield is longer than its cooldown.
And after solidification, there is no consumption either.
He can constantly apply shields to teammates!
The skill lasts for 15 minutes and has a cooldown of 5 minutes, so he can completely cycle applying shields to three teammates!
...
The afternoon offensive also began.
Li Xiang was full of anticipation, but an afternoon passed, and the Skill Solidification Orb did not drop again, which made Li Xiang quite depressed.
Following the trend of one per day, there would be at most two more in the remaining two days.
"That's not a small number either..."
Li Xiang still understood the principle of a snake trying to swallow an elephant out of greed.
In the Guild Residence, Lu Qingshui found Li Xiang. "President, regarding the World Barrier issue, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
Li Xiang looked at her. "I also have an idea that I was preparing to tell you."
"President, you go first."
Li Xiang nodded. "After this offensive and defensive battle ends, I plan to go over there through the World Barrier to take a look."
"Currently, other than knowing that it's another country's server, we don't even know which country they belong to.
Going there in advance will also lay a good foundation for our Gods Guild to expand into overseas markets."
After Li Xiang finished speaking, Lu Qingshui smiled. "It seems we thought of the same thing... What I wanted to say was also this..."
"Currently, among our Guild members, besides you, no other player has the ability to guarantee they won't be killed abroad."
She used honorifics in her speech.
This was the respect of a game player towards the number one player in the game.
"Because, once our Guild players go out, they will inevitably be heavily hunted by the opposing forces. Only you have the ability to counter large-scale encirclement."
Li Xiang nodded slightly. "Then it's settled. Two days later, after the Guild activity ends and the rewards are settled, I will depart."
"I will try my best to gather some useful information for you before then."
"OK."
Ending the conversation, Li Xiang sent a message in the Guild channel, "Does our Guild have any talent in ship repair?"
"Is the President going to start building ships?"
"Repairing ships... Too bad, I studied water supply and drainage, I can't repair ships."
"Idiot... This is a game, the President is asking if there are any players with this kind of life profession."
"Is this considered a rare life profession?"
"..."
Soon, a player volunteered and said he had the life profession of building ships.
This was also a rare profession.
Li Xiang called him to the Town Hall.
This was a young man, who didn't look old. Li Xiang opened his profile to take a look.
The reason he joined the Guild was his rare life profession, and his level was not low.
Because of the special nature of his life profession, the Guild hadn't assigned him any good tasks yet. He was following his mentor in the city to build ships to continue increasing his life profession level.
"Pre... President..."
Seeing Li Xiang, 'Xiao Chuan Shuo Fan Jiu Fan' was very excited.
Combat professional players in the Guild had the chance to fight alongside the President, but life professional players had no chance at all. Normally, they could only see the President from afar.
Seeing the number one player in the game, the Guild President, at such close range made him very excited.
"Sit down and talk."
Xiao Chuan Shuo Fan Jiu Fan quickly sat down, looking at Li Xiang nervously.
"Don't be nervous, tell me about your life profession."
When it came to his professional matters, Xiao Chuan Shuo Fan Jiu Fan opened up.
"Because I studied shipbuilding-related majors in reality, I'm quite interested in this.
After entering the game, I met an old fisherman during the Novice Village stage. I went fishing with that old fisherman a few times, got a hidden quest, and later entered the city and obtained this rare hidden life profession..."
Xiao Chuan Shuo Fan Jiu Fan talked a lot, from how he got this hidden life profession to what kind of ships he could build.
Li Xiang's eyes lit up as he listened.
Although Xiao Chuan Shuo Fan Jiu Fan couldn't build very high-level combat ships, he could easily build ordinary passenger ships.
He was indeed a talent!
Moreover, it was evident that he loved this profession very much!
The current damaged area of the World Barrier is on the sea, and there are a large number of water areas in this game, so naval combat power is essential.
And to have naval combat power, ships are indispensable!
"The Guild will conquer the sea in the future and will need a fleet. I appoint you as the Shipbuilding Governor, how does that sound?"
Xiao Chuan Shuo Fan Jiu Fan was stunned.
He never dreamed that an opportunity to reach the top in one step had arrived.
Since joining the Guild, he had been like a transparent person, possessing strong professional skills but having no place to use them. He felt that this game was nothing special, and neither was his life.
After Li Xiang issued the new orders yesterday, he even felt that he would be one of those eliminated.
As a result, in just one day, he was about to rise steadily and reach the top in one step!!!
"I... I am willing! I will definitely live up to your expectations, President!"
Li Xiang walked up to him. "Only the two of us know about our Guild's plan to build a naval fleet, so your position will not be announced. Everything will remain as it was before. I will directly issue tasks to you. Do you understand what I mean?"
Xiao Chuan Shuo Fan Jiu Fan was incredibly excited.
With such an important task falling upon him, he suddenly felt that his life had begun to have meaning!
"I... I will swear to keep it a secret until death!! Absolutely no third person will know!"
A very chuunibyou declaration.
But Li Xiang liked it.
"Very good! Although your position is top secret and cannot be announced, as the President, I still have a gift for you."
"Come, follow me."
...
Water Demon Wharf.
Li Xiang and Xiao Chuan Shuo Fan Jiu Fan appeared.
