Chapter 1034: 1034
His boat immediately caught the attention of nearby players .


"Is that an NPC going out to the waters?" The ordinary players couldn't comprehend at all what it was like to have their own little boat . There were plenty of boats docked around the shoreline and players who were also dragging boats to maintenance . NPCs wouldn't let players fix their boats by themselves .
"I wonder if there's going to be a quest? It's the first time I've seen this . " Some quick thinkers were interested .
"Don't be stupid; that's obviously a player . "
Some were much more intelligent and the quickly came to a conclusion from Lu Li's actions and outfit . At least, not many NPCs were willing to mask their face like this .
"But where did this little boat come from? He's really going out to the sea; can such a small boat really sail out to sea?"
"He definitely has a death wish!"
Players could only watch in envy as Lu Li disappeared from the shoreline .
The farther out he travelled into the sea, the higher the level of the monsters became . Swimming also involved issues with stamina, and the deep sea was unavailable to players at the current stage of the game .
However, this was not a problem at all when you owned a boat .
Ahead of him was a small island that only appeared only during the annual winter festival . It was usually hidden below the sea and there was a sunken ship next to it . The surrounding monsters weren't too highly-leveled and were suitable for Lu Li .
However, Lu Li couldn't remember its precise location; he only knew that it was around this region .
It would be difficult for people who had never been out in the sea to understand what it felt like to float around on water .


If Hachi Chan was tossed into the sea, she might spend the rest of her life wandering .
Fortunately, Lu Li had already made some preparations – he had bought a compass and telescope from the Pirate Bar . Although the quality was questionable since these were all unwanted items from the pirates, they were enough for his situation right now .
He packed away his boat after he chose a location .
There was nowhere for him to tie it down as it didn't have an anchor, so he had no choice but to pack it away .
Lu Li fell right into water the moment his boat disappeared .
Players could only stay about 10 minutes in the sea water without some sort of equipment to help .
After 10 minutes, they would die from drowning . The Elixir of Water Breathing would only increase this time to half an hour before they died from running out of stamina .
Although there were people in real life who could wander in the sea for hours and hours without dying, this was a game and it had to follow the rules .
After he fell into water, Lu Li transformed into a little seal which greatly improved his vision . He could see his surroundings much clearer and could make out the schools of brightly colored fish .
Lu Li wiggled his tail and dived further into the waters .

The lower he went, the less light there was and the poorer his vision became . If it wasn't for the fact that he was in his seal form, he probably wouldn't have been able to see anything .


He would encounter monsters every now and then under the water, but they were usually under level 50 . This was because the area wasn't too far away from the shore .

After he dived down for another 10 minutes, Lu Li stopped .
There were no sunken ships in this area and there weren't any underwater islands either . He was in the wrong place .
Although he had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed . This didn't stop him from resurfacing and searching elsewhere though .
He needed to bring out his boat, not only because it travelled faster but also because it was safer . Monsters underwater usually didn't actively attack ships or boats either, with some exceptions .
He tried two places without gaining anything, but he had some luck during his third dive .
A giant dark shadow lurked beneath the waters, looking like a giant monster from afar . Lu Li was overjoyed and quickly swam towards it; this had to be the underwater island .
The closer he swam to the island, the more densely packed the monsters became . Most of them were Murlocs, but Lu Li even saw a few semi Bosses . However, he had no intentions of approaching them at all .
He figured out the location of the island and moved towards the northwest side . As he had anticipated, he found the remains of an old ship amongst the reef .
There couldn't be anything remaining in this sunken ship since it was too broken . Lu Li was looking for an Oak Galleon .
If he remembered correctly, it would be 'Mog'Lun' of the Goblins . It was a ship that exported products between two continents, earning profit from the great price difference . The Mog'Lun family had earned plenty from this ship and quickly became famous amongst the merchants .
Unfortunately, the Mog'Lun steered itself into the reef when it being chased by the pirates and sunk .
The property of the Mog'Lun family then became history .
"Damn!"
Lu Li halted and quickly changed out of his seal form, then drank an Elixir of Water Breathing .
Ghost Sailors!
He had not been cautious enough . He didn't expect to run into a monster and the reef had blocked his vision . It was too late for him to dodge it now .
Ghost type monsters had an ability to detect Stealth and these level 50 monsters definitely saw Lu Li coming .
The scimitar of the Ghost Sailor slit across Lu Li's stomach and his blood began to spill . Lu Li didn't hesitate to stab his dagger into his opponent's chest either .
This was a level 50 elite monster with around 5000 health, so it wasn't a problem for Lu Li to take him down . What was more troublesome was that Lu Li's blood was beginning to spread into the water, attracting the Murlocs . He hastily chugged down a healing potion and sped away .
If he had any group spells, fighting monsters under water would be worth it . At the very least, he wouldn't have to keep running after he attracted monsters .
Unfortunately, he wasn't capable of wiping out monsters under water, so if it wasn't necessary, he would rather walk a longer distance than fight .
Gradually, he got closer to the sunken ship .
The closer he approached, the more Ghost Sailors he saw . The battle back then must've been a nightmare .
Lu Li didn't plan to walk in from the entrance; it was too much work to fight his way in . He smashed a hole in the ship and went in through the cabins, then picked the lock of the first room that he found .
Within the room were some daily items and a box .
Sailor's Storage Box: Within the box are the Sailor's private belongings . Private belongings are personal and should remain untouched . Requires Level 3 Lock Picking to open .
Lu Li rubbed his hands under water and used Unlock on the box .
Black mist began to swarm out from the box and a scimitar appeared even before the mist had formed its shape . The scimitar hacked right toward Lu Li, but was met with a block from his Daggers . Lu Li was prepared this time .
"Private belongings are personal and should remain untouched . "
This reminded Thieves that opening the box came with a risk .
This was a Ghost Sailor who was guarding his things even after his death . It was a shame that he couldn't overpower the intruder .
The battle finished within a few rounds .
Lu Li didn't stop here either and proceeded into the next room .
