Chapter 174 A Son of the Sea

Despite the mission being presented to Fang Senyan, he wasn't in a hurry to accept it. Instead, he carefully considered it and said:

"I have a few questions I need clarified."

The Nightmare Space was as it always was:

"Answers within your military rank's authority are free. Questions requiring payment will be indicated."

Fang Senyan thought for a moment, then seriously said:

"Is this a solo mission or a team mission?"

"Solo. A team mission would be equivalent to openly declaring war on zb419, currently affiliated with Noah Space F," the Space answered quickly.

Fang Senyan continued to inquire:

"Doesn't the mission overlap with the next world entry time? Won't that prevent me from entering the next world with my team members?"

The Nightmare Space paused for ten seconds before saying:

"Not if you can coordinate with the military on the Empire's side."

Fang Senyan was puzzled.

"Why?"

The Nightmare Space said:

"Awakener zb419 underwent the Dark Templar inheritance. His entry world should be the Starship Troopers world. According to first-hand information, this Starship Troopers world, like the Predator world, is beginning to erode and cover the Empire's main plane. Therefore, you can try to take a spacecraft from the Empire's main plane, fly through the weak points in the space-time barrier, and enter the Starship Troopers world. That would be like your last emergency mission, without occupying the next mission's time."

"Understood," Fang Senyan nodded, then suddenly said, "Why did you accept Ronnie? Is he really that strong? Why don't I think so?"

The Space's response was concise:

"Because he is a candidate, and his potential is decent."

Fang Senyan suddenly narrowed his eyes, slyly saying:

"How does one obtain Judas' Denarius?"

Instantly, an indescribable majesty descended. Fang Senyan felt completely unable to resist this power, but he didn't intend to resist. The Space coldly said:

"Unknown. Contractor 1018, any attempt to betray the affiliated Space is a very shameful act!"

Fang Senyan smiled, spreading his hands in a gesture of helplessness.

"You misunderstood. I was just asking."

The Space's response appeared again:

"Do you accept the mission to save Awakener zb419? If you refuse, this mission will be sent to other capable Contractors."

Fang Senyan suddenly said:

"There should be Contractors stronger than Forgers in this Space, right? Why not let them execute the mission? Wouldn't the chances of success be greater?"

The Space said:

"That's because of the power barrier. Using a high-level Contractor disproportionate to a low-level mission would cause greater damage to the space-time barrier, completely outweighing the benefits. High-level Contractors would also be suppressed by the power barrier, and could even fall. The best way to catch a mouse rampaging in your house is to let a cat in, not to have workers tear down the house to prevent the mouse infestation."

Having understood these things, Fang Senyan decisively chose to accept the mission. He told the others in the team about it. The others didn't have much to say, but Zi thought for a moment, consulted with Sanzai and the others, and gathered five bars of pai element that Fang Senyan had given them but hadn't sold yet.

Clearly, this thing was hard currency within the Empire. Without it, trying to get someone to send them would be very difficult. With it, they would have the upper hand.

Despite the saying that saving someone is like putting out a fire, Fang Senyan didn't plan to rush off to save someone so hastily. The first thing to do was to strengthen himself first, lest he end up getting himself caught instead of saving anyone.

Clearly, this time Ronnie was being pursued by many enemies, and he also had to go to a Starship Troopers-like world, a giant battlefield. Survival should be the top priority. More importantly, last time Fang Senyan and his team faced the Zerg in the Starship Troopers world, but this time, according to Ronnie's hint, they might have to face the most mysterious Protoss in the universe!

Before these races, atypical pneumonia and SARS viruses might not work, because it was questionable whether the Zerg and Protoss even had lungs. Currently, the disease's ability to delay enemies was already sufficient for Fang Senyan.

So, Fang Senyan still planned to upgrade his military rank first. The Bloodthirsty Brigadier General Armor's unique Peerless ability was extremely powerful for both chasing and survival! Also, because he had to deal with the Empire, those bastards seemed to have racial prejudice. Therefore, the higher the military rank, the more advantageous it would be.

However, just as Fang Senyan was about to set off, Old Charlie stepped forward respectfully and said:

"Master, according to my observation, the success rate for synthesizing titles seems higher now."

Fang Senyan said "Oh" and curiously asked:

"Is that also divided into time periods?"

Old Charlie nodded.

"There are special places in the Space for synthesizing titles. I specifically went to observe for a while, judging the results through some details. Usually, when the synthesis result is more ideal, the person who comes out will have a lighter step and a more obvious mood swing. The reactions of people who fail can also be seen in the subtleties."

Hearing this, Fang Senyan couldn't help but nod slightly.

"Not bad. Continue."

Old Charlie said:

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Based on my observation and analysis of one hundred and thirty-seven samples, the result is: the success rate of synthesis is 7% to 13% higher in the range from 6 PM to 8 PM every day. It's exactly 7:30 PM now, so if Master isn't in a hurry, please synthesize the title first."

Fang Senyan currently had sixteen titles:

1 Connoisseur of Fine Wines
2 Pirate Head
3 Treant's Blessing (Speed)
4 Bloodthirsty 1
5 Butcher Shop Owner
6 Penetration
7 Marauder
8 Headhunter
9 Excellent Employee
10 Pirate Captain (Black Iron)
11 Fearless
12 Smuggler
13 Invader
14 Scavenger
15 Mechanical Enemy
16 Friend of Sanitary Napkins
17 Great Collector

(The above statistics may have omissions, please hit lightly...)

Among these sixteen titles, most of them would definitely be burned. The basis for synthesis was naturally the two Black Iron titles: Pirate Captain and Connoisseur of Fine Wines. The specific synthesis process had been mentioned before, so there was no need to say more here. It was worth mentioning that Friend of Sanitary Napkins was classified as a special title and could only be used for synthesis, not burned. So, it was set aside first. Finally, a Bronze-level title was synthesized:

Bronze-level Title: Son of the Sea

Synthesis times: Once

Equipment: All attributes +3
Equipment: Increases all of your damage by 8%
Equipment: Simultaneously increases the drop rate of high-level equipment and the success rate of equipment enhancement by 10%.
Equipment: When you receive any recovery effects, you will immediately gain an 8% increase in critical hit rate and an additional one-time healing effect of 10% of your maximum health (this healing effect takes effect every 300 seconds and cannot exceed 500 health points), the critical hit rate increase lasts for 60 minutes.
Equipment: You have gained the underwater breathing ability like that of a whale, but you must surface for air at least once every hour. At the same time, you will be as agile in the water as you are on land.
Equipment: The deterrence of you and your appointed pirate officers to ordinary pirates is increased by 200%, intimidation +3.
Equipment: When there are rivers, lakes, or oceans within one kilometer of you, it can effectively increase the attack power and defense of friendly forces within one kilometer by 25%, and the movement speed is increased by an additional 40%! (This effect only applies to story characters and does not stack with other special effects.)
Equipment: Letter of Marque. When you successfully capture or kill other ships and enemies at sea, you also gain the special ability to check and obtain valuable special products, precious special materials, and precious special equipment related to naval battles with a certain probability.

Description: The Letter of Marque can additionally increase your discovery rate by 33% and improve the quality of discoveries by 33%.
Hint: You can upgrade this ability to: British Royal Letter of Marque by offering tribute to the Queen of England.
Hint: After you possess (note: possess, not equip) this title, your burgeoning ambition will be revealed, and you will find it difficult to join the hands of other pirate forces.

To be honest, this synthesized title was quite good. It could be said to be amphibious, and every attribute was quite practical. But when you turned around and thought about Fang Senyan's hard work in collecting and accumulating these titles, it could be relieved.

However, according to Sanzai, some Contractor teams specialized in titles, and their titles were estimated to be much stronger than Fang Senyan's.

The benefit of specializing in titles was also very real, because if equipment was obtained, it would involve the issue of distribution, but getting titles was very fair and everyone had them! It also steadily and powerfully improved the team's strength. Secondly, it also increased the evaluation of passing the level.

For example, in the last 2012 world, those who specialized in titles could only achieve the most basic requirements of the main mission, and then go to complete the title mission. You should know that in the 2012 world, there were a full five ordinary titles at the beginning of the world alone, and there was also a bronze title! With a full six titles in hand, the final improvement could be said to be absolutely equivalent to everyone in the team getting a piece of silver storyline equipment.
