Chapter 04: Page 4
Long before setting off, Kyle had already used the Navy's secret line in the East China Sea to order a ship here.
Because the money was paid by the Navy, Kyle didn't know how much the ship cost in total.
Now, more than twenty days have passed since the order was placed, and the ship should be almost completed.
……
……
At the port of Yaxi Island.
With the name, Kyle was soon led by the staff to see his own ship!
This is a medium-sized sailing ship that is slightly larger than the Merry in the anime.
Two decorative cannons were installed above the deck of the ship.
After all, those who understand the cannonballs in the world of pirates will understand.
Anyone who has been on the sea for a long time will have a way to fight against artillery shells.
but……
After the staff demonstrated it, Kyle, who had personally experienced the feeling of firing a cannon, still exclaimed:
"Fuck! Awesome!"
After admiring his boat, Kyle immediately couldn't wait to ask the staff to drive the boat out of the cabin.
Although he was a little flustered, he still managed to successfully get the ship to the sea with his physical strength that far exceeded that of an ordinary person and the instruction manual that came with the ship.
After a brief exploration, Kyle directly locked onto the room on the highest floor of the deck and designated it as his captain's room. Then he sat down on the floor and began to rub his hands excitedly.
"Next, it's an exciting moment!"
"System dad, after so many days of fishing, is it time to close the net today?"
He first took out the pirate flag that he had prepared long ago from his backpack.
On the pitch-black canvas, a skull pattern with lifeless eyes and a dead look was fluttering in the wind.
This is the pirate flag that Kyle drew based on the image of his predecessor, and it has been filed with Sengoku.
Along with it comes the name of the pirate group!
Yes.
Long before leaving Marinford, Kyle had already thought of the name of his pirate group...
The Dusk Pirates!!!
A name that sounds quite ordinary, but has some flavor if you think about it carefully.
In fact, the name of the pirate group is not important to Kyle, who has already created a name in the system for seven days.
It was only after he knew that he was about to become a spy that he suddenly thought of a TV series he had watched before traveling through time called "Spy Playing House".
So he borrowed the code name of the protagonist's strongest spy "Dusk" in this series as the name of his own pirate group.
I hope this name can bring him some luck.
Now, the name of the pirate group, the pirate flag, and the pirate ship are all gathered together!
Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing!!!
After hanging the pirate flag on the mast, Kyle didn't even have time to take any action before a prompt window suddenly popped up in the system in his mind.
[It is detected that the host has created his own pirate group. Would you like to bind to the "Twilight Pirates"? 】
[Confirm] or [Reject]
"Huh? So smart?!"
Kyle, who was pulling the rope, was stunned for a moment, and then a surprised smile immediately appeared on his face.
He quickly controlled his thoughts and pressed the [OK] button in his mind.
All of a sudden!
The naming interface that had troubled him for so long finally turned into gray mist and disappeared to both sides.
A brand new game interface suddenly appeared in Kyle's mind.
"I'm coming!"
Kyle's heart began pounding as he watched the familiar yet unfamiliar scene appear in his mind.
He suppressed the throbbing in his heart and carefully observed the system interface to see if this thing had become different after the time travel.
It’s time to say it or not.
Compared with that third-rate mobile game, the system in my mind is undoubtedly much simpler.
At least those interfaces and options that pop up from time to time to trick you into spending money have disappeared.
But in fact, this is not good news for Kyle.
After all, with the first recharge of six yuan, you can get an S-level Outsider who can both fight and heal. Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern!
"It seems that after traveling through time, the functions of the game have also changed a lot."
Kyle sighed as he pondered.
He had an inexplicable premonition...
The changes in the system may not be as simple as removing the pop-up windows that deceive users into paying for money.
At this time, there are 5 basic options lit up in the interface: [Captain], [Backpack], [Partner], [Dock], and [Gachapon].
Kyle followed the order and clicked on the [Captain] option first.
A new pop-up window immediately popped up.
On the left side of the screen is a three-dimensional image of Kyle, exactly the same shape as he is at this moment.
Kyle waved his hand, and the "Kyle" in the picture immediately did the same.
Moreover, this three-dimensional image can be rotated 360° without blind spots through the mind.
"Hmm...not bad! I don't have to buy mirrors anymore!"
“I like this feature!”
After taking a curious look at his own stereoscopic image, Kyle turned his gaze to the right side of the screen again.
Here is a row of information columns about "Captain" Kyle.
[Captain: Kyle]
【Level: 0】
[Experience value: 0/10]
[Total combat power: 0]
[Skill: None]
"...It's really a comprehensive beginner's panel, but..."
Looking at his attribute panel, Kyle frowned in confusion.
"Even if I am only a small fry now, I am still a small fry in the Grand Line after all. My combat power should not be 0."
"And there's this skill bar. Why don't I remember the captain having skills in the game?"
As if sensing Kyle's inner doubts, the information bar on the panel suddenly flashed, and then several bullet windows popped up one after another, explaining Kyle's doubts.
[Experience Points: For every 100W Baileys spent in the system, the Captain will gain 1 experience point.]
[Total Combat Strength: Captain's Combat Strength = Total Combat Strength of Crew Members × Captain's Level × 10%]
[Skills: Every time the captain gains a level, a skill from a character in the total card pool will be randomly drawn.]
Chapter 4 A new storm has emerged
"Fuck! Awesome!"
The uneducated Kyle once again uttered the most primitive exclamation.
Obviously, his game system has been changed beyond recognition because of the time travel.
He had never seen any game mechanism that could upgrade by consuming Bailey before.
But all in all, it's a good start.
At least it shows that his system is functioning normally.
This also made Kyle more expectant of his own system.
"Can we increase our combat power by continuously recruiting crew members?"
"Since the Captain interface has been changed like this, are there any changes to the other interfaces as well?"
After closing the [Captain] interface, Kyle pressed the [Backpack] option again with his mind.
Unfortunately, there was no novice gift package he expected in the backpack, only an infinite package that could carry system props.
"The backpack hasn't changed much."
Slightly disappointed, Kyle continued to explore.
He opened the [Partner] option.
What came into view was a blank slate.
Even the only [Develop] button is now gray and black.
This is normal, after all, he doesn't have any partner yet.
According to the normal game process, he has just logged into the game and has not even started the novice tutorial.
Leaving the [Partner] window, Kyle opened the fourth [Dock] panel in order.
This time, something different finally appeared.
A new pop-up window popped up.
【Please select the ship to bind...】
Below the text is a sailboat sailing on the vast ocean.
On the mast of the sailboat was still flying the pirate flag that Kyle had just raised.
no doubt.
This was the ship Kyle was on now.
He clicked on the model of the sailboat with his mind, and then a new window suddenly popped up.
[Please enter the name of the pirate ship______]
"No way? You're going to give it another name!?"
For some reason, maybe because he was troubled by the previous interface, Kyle would get an inexplicable headache whenever he saw such an interface.
And more importantly...
He himself is a bad at naming!
When playing games, he always uses the random names given to him by the system.
"let me see……"
He stroked the stubble that had just grown back after he shaved it off that morning, and looked thoughtful.
If the dock function has not mutated and is still the same as the game mechanism, then after he turns on the dock function, a ship elf should automatically be born on his ship.
Although in the game, this ship elf only serves to guide the player's operations, who knows what it will look like in the real world.
So he had to be careful with this name.
However, for someone who is bad at naming, being careful is just a waste of time.
The first thing Kyle thought of was the famous ship girl in his previous life.
The story of a pirate ship transforming into a ship girl to repay the love of its crew members is definitely more enduring than a story about a ship spirit.
