Infinite Sun in the East China Sea

Chapter 97 The strong are always strong

After Xu Feng calculated the size, strength and muscle strength of the giant octopus in "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" in his mind, he found that among the East China Sea team, it seemed that only the micro-aggregate Gauss bullet prepared by Xiangzi could kill the opponent quickly.

As we all know, under normal circumstances, the resistance of water is seven hundred to eight hundred times that of air resistance, so in water, the range of gunpowder weapons is extremely low, and the range of rifles is only one or two meters.

Gauss weapon bullets have greater kinetic energy and a shape that is more conducive to movement in water, but their power and range will also be greatly reduced in water.

Even a weapon as powerful as the Gauss Ion Sniper Rifle can only penetrate a hundred meters of water.

However, the shock wave generated by the explosion will cause more damage in water than in the air.

But considering the muscle strength required for the sea monster to maintain such a huge size, and the fact that it is a mollusk, it is estimated that if the explosion is not strong enough, it will hardly cause much damage to it.

This does not even take into account the extraordinary abilities that the giant octopus may possess.

When dealing with the sea monster, the most likely weapon to be effective is the micro-aggregate Gauss bullets prepared by Shoko.

It's not just octopuses.

Davy Jones's Flying Dutchman also has the ability to dive, and the undead in this world also have the ability to walk underwater.

After completing the calculations, Xu Feng couldn't help but sigh: "So, we have the combat power to crush ordinary people in this world, but when facing the monsters or undead in this world, the advantage is not great!"

While he was thinking, Shoko and others woke up one after another.

After she read the information on her watch, she couldn't help but frown.

"Do you see the problem?" Xu Feng asked.

"The Lord God seems to have given us many choices, but of these three options... the second one is actually the easiest to complete. The third option is too difficult to complete. If you make a mistake, you will most likely be killed by the octopus. The first option is a trap!"

——It’s easy to get on the Black Pearl, but the problem is that the Black Pearl itself probably won’t exist in three days.

When Shoko entered the main god space, the third "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie was being released all over the world, so she was quite familiar with the plot of the movie.

Thirteen years before the story begins, Jack Sparrow, the then Pirate King of the Caribbean, was still serving the East India Company. Later, he was branded a pirate by Beckett, a director of the East India Company, for letting a ship of slaves go. Beckett also destroyed Jack's ship, the Wicked Maid, and sank it into the sea.

In order to save his ship, Jack Sparrow made a deal with Davy Jones, the captain of the Flying Dutchman. Davy Jones helped him repair the Wicked Maiden and let him be the captain for another thirteen years, but after that, Jack's soul had to serve on the Flying Dutchman for a hundred years.

When the second part of "Pirates of the Caribbean" begins, the agreed thirteen years have arrived, but Captain Jack, who does not want to lose his freedom, tries to find a way to get rid of Davy Jones and manages to find a blueprint of a key.

Later, Captain Jack learned from the witch Tia Doma that Davy Jones put his heart into a dead man's chest, and only by piercing the heart could Davy Jones be killed; the key on the drawing was the key to open the dead man's chest.

Because the key was carried by Davy Jones, Captain Jack met Davy Jones in the process of searching for the key. In order to prevent himself from losing his freedom, Jack proposed to trade the souls of one hundred people for his own soul. The other protagonist of the movie, Will Turner, was mortgaged to Davy Jones.

Davy Jones agreed to the deal and gave Jack Sparrow three days to find the other ninety-nine souls.

Shoko guessed that the three days given by the Lord God as the first choice were not aimless, but were a reminder of the time for them to come to this world - by now, Jack Sparrow should have made a deal with Davy Jones.

It is easy to board the Black Pearl. Soon, Captain Jack will recruit crew members in order to find ninety-nine scapegoats, but it is not so easy to stay on the Black Pearl for three days.

There is a high probability that you will face the Norwegian sea monster during these three days.

——The easier it is to avoid monsters, the more likely you are to face them.

Xu Feng said thoughtfully, "Actually, if you see through the trap set by the Lord God, completing the first mission isn't difficult. Davy Jones is after Jack Sparrow's soul. He stole the Black Pearl from Captain Jack and then exiled him to a sinking ship... I think Davy Jones's attention should be on that protagonist."

Shoko looked at him and smiled: "But I think that you will no longer use this method of escape to complete the task now." It is understandable to choose to escape when you are weak. It is called self-knowledge.

If you choose to escape after becoming powerful, you are simply a waste.

Xu Feng was willing to return to the horror movie world and actively look for side plots. How could he possibly refuse the rewards that the Lord God had put on display?

"Keep it as a safety precaution. These three tasks are closely connected. While completing the first or second task, there might be an opportunity to complete the third."

Xu Feng looked at the newcomer who hadn't woken up yet and said, "This is a world where the strong always get stronger, but it's also a world full of dangers. After having Plan A to maximize your profits, you should also have a stable Plan B and a safe Plan C... Not every gambler can always win."

There is a term in economics called the Matthew effect, which states that the strong will become stronger more easily. In the world of reincarnation, this situation will be even more cruel.

With each cycle of a horror movie, the reward points and side plots that can be obtained are limited. Even the so-called score-brushing only makes it easier to obtain side plots.

As long as the more powerful veterans do not give up, they can get the largest share of the limited number of side plots much more easily than newcomers, thereby strengthening their bloodline and becoming stronger. As for the weak newcomers, it is already very difficult to survive.

Even if they managed to survive with difficulty, the reward points they got by picking up the scraps left behind by the strong were pitifully few, and at most could only make them slightly stronger than ordinary people.

Under such a rule, the gap in strength between the strong and the weak will become larger and larger.

When the power gap develops to a certain extent, it will be difficult for the weak in the team to survive the increasingly difficult cycle of horror movies without the care of the strong.

Xiangzi took the initiative to climb onto Xu Feng's bed because of this.

As senior experts, their interests are the same. They can all become the 20% of strong people who control 80% of the resources in the 80/20 rule. Moreover, Xu Feng also has a way to become one of the few strong people faster.

As for feelings and stuff... I can only say that they are not important.

One is attracted by the woman's beauty, the other is attracted by the woman's strength, and then they use that method to deepen their relationship.

Now they cooperate so well, and they have grown close friends over time.

In this world, the main god gives a lot of reward points and side plots. If you can kill the sea monster, you can get at least one B-level side plot.

Among the reincarnations of the Tokai team, the 80/20 rule has almost taken shape, and only Xu Feng or Xiangzi are qualified to get the B-level side story.

Even if a new player wants to get the C-level side story that assists in attacking, they have to risk being killed by a single blow from the sea monster.

But the main god space is more dangerous than the real world... If the 20% of strong people are too greedy because they are strong enough, there is still a high possibility that they will turn over and die at the hands of monsters.

Only by being prepared can you be safe.

After reviewing the plot, Xu Feng said seriously, "Just as the first mission given by the Lord God indicated the time of our arrival in this world, the second mission given by the Lord God may also hint at the difficulty of completing the third mission."

"Hold Davy Jones's heart for an hour..."

Shoko looked at the small words and suddenly realized something. "Yes, that giant octopus must be even more powerful than what's shown in the movie. In the third film, the sea monster was killed and its body was found on a small island. Although the plot doesn't reveal the method of its death, the information revealed in the third film suggests that someone from the East India Company used Davy Jones's heart to coerce Davy Jones into controlling the sea monster and running to land. Then, they killed it with the cannons from the sailing battleship."

"After possessing Davy Jones's heart, we can also threaten Davy Jones, eliminating the time it takes for him to summon the sea monster, and actively attack the sea monster for over half an hour without the sea monster fighting back. But will the Lord really let us get a B-level side story and a large number of C-level side stories so easily?"

Shoko took a deep breath and said, "I think the vitality of that octopus can at least withstand the continuous bombardment of the sailing battleships of this era for half an hour!"
