Chapter 9: Blood Sea Studio
Editor: Atlas Studios
Deserted island's shipwreck, following the death of the last Skeleton Warrior on the deck, a golden light flashed and Raging Sea of Blood leveled up to Level 4. Then, he learned the Attack Skill "War Maniac".
—War Maniac: Increase the Hero and Hero's units' basic lethality stat by 1, empowering low-level units greatly. Learning prerequisite: Must possess Advanced Attack Skill.
By now, Raging Sea of Blood had already been fighting continuously for one day and one night, equivalent to 2.4 hours in the real world. He was already very tired now and needed to rest. Towards his current leveling speed, Raging Sea of Blood was quite satisfied with it.
There wasn't any trainer or beginner dungeon or recruitment center on this desert island, therefore, his leveling speed wasn't as fast as those normal players who already had a few rewarded units. But this was the price a super-account like his needed to pay in this desert island!
However, things would be different after he learned the skill, War Maniac. His basic lethality increased from 2-5 to 3-6, and after leveling up to Level 5, it became 4-7 because the System would reward one lethality every five levels. Plus he had 6 Attack Points, which offset the skeletons' disgusting 6 Defense Points, and the Expert Attack Skill increased his lethality by 40%, so even his lowest damage to the skeletons was also more than their five Health Points, resulting in him being able to kill them with one hit each. Therefore, towards the back, his killing speed increased greatly. Especially for a Shield Defender who started off with 8 Defense Points and 20 Health Points at the start, he didn't need to worry about taking damage towards the back anymore, he could just sweep through the skeletons all the way to the bottom of the ship!
If he really had to find something to be unhappy about, it would be that his starting point was still a bit too low—a Level 3 unit was not enough! Currently, the accounts valued at one million US dollars all started off as Level 4 units. For example, the Griffon Breeder from Team Star who started off with a Level 4 Griffon with high attack speed, high mobility, and could dive on those long-range creeps which normal players wouldn't dare to touch. That type of account would be really easy to develop.
In Hero Genesis, there were eight types of units in each race. Level 0 units were the militias, reservists, for example, the farmers from the Human race, flower fairies from the Elf race, miners from the Dwarf race, demon babies from the Hell race, laborer skeletons from the Undead race, and goblins from the Orc race. They were all very weak and easy to kill, and the players were unable to recruit them either. Their main use was for production and to guard the cities at crucial times. The development speed of a castle primarily depended on the number of these Level 0 units.
Then, the Level of 1, 2, and 3 units were the conventional forces. When a normal player's Command Value and Tactical Position were both enough, they could hire these units in the main cities. As for Level 4 units, those already belonged to advanced forces—they would start doing all kinds of difficult missions and earn Reputation points.
Starting from Level 4 units, they would have magic resistance and could also cast spells. For example, the Archmages from the neutral-type academics, the Druids from the Elf race, the Pet Concubines from the Hell race, the Vampires from the Undead race, the Shamans from the Orc race, the Rune Mages from the Dwarf race, and so on. Level 4 and 5 units were the foundations of a race, not only do they need to have high combat power, but they also act as the bridge for the low-level units and the high-level units. Without them, the whole force would be lacking in combat power. This point was especially obvious in the Undead race and Human race.
The Undead forces were generally low on mobility as a whole, but the speed of the vampires was very fast. Normally, when the vampires had already come into close combat with the enemy, the main Undead force would still be rushing up behind, and therefore the vampires would be in a situation of fighting by themselves. But if they waited for the other Undead forces to attack together, they would be akin to giving up on their advantage of speed. Therefore, to determine if a player was playing the Undead race well, it would depend on the player's skill with using the vampires. This was the benchmark that separated the professional players and the amateur players of the Undead race.
The same thing for the Human race. The embarrassing thing was about the Level 6 unit, the Knights. Should they charge or shouldn't, this was a very perplexing question!
Players could build their own castles in the New World and also obtain all kinds and sorts of units, which was through building their own unit resource base and groom their own unique type of force. Especially for the Undead race, all kinds of weird and strange creatures could appear in this race. But no matter how a player groomed or developed them, the prerequisite was that this new type of force would be able to work well with the main force. If not, the players should just recruit the standard force-types from the main cities. At least, it would be very convenient for them to replenish the units if needed.
For Raging Sea of Blood, he had already planned out his character development and even for the development in the New World. Raging Sea of Blood planned to build an indestructible island fortress in the New World and groom his unique navy force. Although his Shield Defender wasn't the best unit obtainable at the start, it was indeed the most suitable for fighting on a ship in a confined area. Units like the Level 1 Spearman, Level 4 Griffon, and Level 6 Knights would definitely not be suitable to fight in such a confined space, so he would need to change them for something else in the future. Then, he would reign over the territorial waters of the two worlds, and in turn, conquer the world!
In actual fact, Raging Sea of Blood was a naval battle maniac in the first place. In order to get a naval battle special ability, he bought a total of 200 machines and used the lottery system for 200 times! This was the reason why he only started the game three days after the game was released.
It must be said that he was actually still very lucky. In the 200th time, he finally obtained this God-level special ability, Admiral! If not, he could only purchase one from the market for a very high price. As for what he said to Da Fei about selling this account after he was bored with it, he was only scaring Da Fei away.
As for how he handled the 200 machines he purchased? After some consideration, he decided to open a studio. Although the machines weren't worth much money, it still caused him quite a lot of trouble buying so many of them.
Raging Sea of Blood then made a phone call to his friend. "Shaodong, what are you doing now?"
The person on the other replied, "What else could I be doing? I was born to fuck pussies."
Raging Sea of Blood laughed and said, "You still haven't fucked enough? I'm going to open a gaming studio, come to work together with me!"
Surprised, Shaodong said, "A gaming studio? What kind of joke is this! It's not like we lack money!"
Raging Sea of Blood laughed and said, "Actually, basically we'll just play a game, but doing it as a gaming studio sounds better. At least those old things will feel that we are doing something proper this time."
Shaodong laughed and asked, "True. What kind of game?"
Raging Sea of Blood nodded and said, "The most popular one now! Ask Brother Tian and Young Master Ma to come to play too. Tell him to stop drag racing—most of the taxis on the streets now use gas, banging into any of them would be like banging into a bomb. It won't be worth it if they died because of this."
Shaodong laughed and said, "Shall I bring a bunch of girls too? So we can fuck them while playing?"
Speechless, Raging Sea of Blood replied, "Female players are the most annoying, don't bring those stupid ones!"
Shaodong laughed and said, "Don't worry, I won't want to fuck those stupid ones too! Oh right, what's the name of the studio?"
Without thinking, Raging Sea of Blood said, "Blood Sea Studio!"
…
After contacting his bunch of rich friends, Raging Sea of Blood's mood got even better.
The only unpleasant thing was that there was extra trash on this island now! The feeling was like sand getting into his eye, causing him to feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, Raging Sea of Blood couldn't kill the creeps wholeheartedly and would always subconsciously divert some of his attention to guard against that extra trash. That trash seemed to have died quite a few times during the day? Ha! Trash is really trash, this isn't the type of place that such trash should be at, right? But where's that trash now?
Raging Sea of Blood looked around but couldn't see any trace of Da Fei. Then, he checked under the gunwale—not there too! Where did that person go? Gave up and went off-line? It's best that he can see the situation and don't come to disturb me!
Suddenly, Raging Sea of Blood thought of something—his rations weren't enough! Food wasn't a problem, he could catch fish and shrimp from the sea. But what about water?
Raging Sea of Blood saw the few coconut trees on the island, which should be the water source. Therefore, he hurriedly went over to pick the coconuts.
—System Message: The fruits have already been gathered, please come again when the next batch of fruits become ripe after 29 days.
Fuck! Raging Sea of Blood violently hacked the tree. "After this trash comes online, I'm going to directly hack him to death!"
As for lowering of his Reputation? At most, he could just become a pirate! Being a pirate, he would be able to blatantly rob NPC merchant ships! Then, his negative Reputation would increase very quickly! Of course, being a solo player still, he definitely couldn't become a pirate right from the start. But once his brothers joined the game, it wouldn't be a problem anymore.
