Chapter 344: The Blue-Eyed Princess (I)
The weather was gloomy and gloomy, like a huge cloth blocking out the sun, which made people feel very depressed.
An Yizhi stood at the bow of the boat, holding the railing with his hand, looking at the leaden gray ocean.
It's a cruise ship that has only been seen in old photographs, with two towering chimneys and a steam engine.
Earlier, the old woman told An Yizhi all the clues collected by the previous detectives, and also prepared three first-class tickets to the small island very thoughtfully.
As for remuneration......
"I've heard of your quirks, you've solved so many cases and you can only live in such a run-down office, so I've got you something you might be interested in as a reward, and I'll pay you a lot of money for the rest of your life."
The old woman took out the checkbook, and wrote down a string of zeros that simply blinded everyone's eyes, if this is in reality, let alone one person, even they can live by gnawing on the old book for the rest of their lives.
Of course, no matter how many zeros in the game are useless, they will all be taken back as soon as the copy is released, and they cannot be converted into in-game currency. For players, the real payoff is later.
The old woman took out three items from her bag, a revolver, a ring encrusted with red gems, and a book in a manuscript.
"These are my husband's collections, and if they can be used to save his son, I don't think he will mind"
The old woman said this, and An Yizhi almost blurted out, "How many of these collections do you have, I will take them all." ’
First of all, the gun.

Description: Enchanted by the classic pistol Colt M1873, this unique pistol has the ability to change flexibly against a variety of enemies, but the disadvantage is that it has a slow reload speed.
Equipment Requirements: Character level 20 or agility 7 or higher.
This perfect-level pistol naturally gave Qingfeng Bazooka, the only one of the three who could play with guns, and it was a waste to Tu Hongyu, and if you gave An a finger......
Forget it, the next topic.
The second item was the ring with a red gem, and with his poor knowledge of gems, he could only make out that the gem was not an ordinary ruby, it felt more like a red diamond, and he couldn't see anything else, except for Hela, who was eating the gem as a snack.
At first, he thought that the book was the right piece of equipment for him, after all, he always had the title of book collector on his head, but when he picked up the ring, he realized that he was wrong.
【Ruby Broken Ring】
Attribute: Strange Things
Grade: Perfect

1. Ruby Reversal Ray: This ray removes natural or magical effects on a target, and the effect can be used three times each, and there is no limit to the number of times the overworld consumes mana.

Description: This is a powerful magic ring, a magic ring developed for spellcasters, which somehow fell into the hands of the mafia.
Equipment Requirements: Character level 30 or Mystic Power 8 or above.
This ruby spell-breaking ring is like an enemy of a mage, and with a bunch of skills on An Yizhi's body, he is confident that he will not be able to face any mage, although he can't try it in this dungeon.
The last book is a skill, which is just right for Tu Hongyu.
【Demon God Flash Sky Break】
Grade: LV1
Attribute: Swordsmanship (two-handed sword)
Quality: B
Effect: Unleashes a slash that deals extremely high damage and is extremely fast.
Description: One of the mysteries of the Demon God Stream Sword Technique, it can tear enemies apart with an unrecognizable slash.
Learning conditions: Character level 40 or agility 7 or above, requires the Demon God Sword preposition.
Tu Hongyu happened to have the skill of the Demon God Sword, so this B-level skill was simply given to him.
An Yizhi and Qingfeng Bazuka both took the perfect level, while Tu Hongyu took the B-level skill, at first glance it seemed that they were at a loss, but in fact they were not.
The value of skills and equipment cannot be judged by simple 'alignment', in the simplest example, one C-rank healing technique is enough to exchange for two perfect-level items, and there is still a surplus.
In addition to these special skills and equipment, generally speaking, before the C level, the value of skills is higher than that of equipment, because the skills or attributes attached to the equipment cannot be upgraded through 'skill points' and 'use', which can only be regarded as excessive products, but the value of skills is higher than that of equipment because they can be upgraded.
But this is not absolute.
The value of Perfect-level equipment is almost the same as that of C-level skills, and some may be even higher, even enough to match B-level skills. When the equipment reaches the epic or even legendary level, the value of the equipment will far exceed the skill.
For example, An Yi pointed to the double-faced staff in his hand, and compared with the A-level skill of the Dark Lord's gaze, it is not difficult to see how much higher the value of the double-faced staff is than the latter, so the value of the B-level skill obtained by Tu Hongyu is not much different from the other two perfect-level equipment, if it is not for his skills, the value is even lower than the other two perfect-level equipment.
But then again, the reward is so close to everyone, not to mention that a copy of normal difficulty actually has a reward of one perfect-level equipment per person, which means that the difficulty of the copy is likely to be close to the bottom line of the difficulty-level difficulty, just like the last time An Yizhi got the two-faced staff, this should also be a long-term copy.
Of course, he didn't know that he had chosen the most difficult copy of the three commissions......
"What are you looking at again?"
Tu Hongyu saw An staring at the sea for a long time without moving, and asked strangely.
"I'm looking at a future as unpredictable as a mist"
“……”
The second disease is really troublesome.
–‐‐——–‐‐——
The cruise ship on which the trio was traveling was different from the one the old woman's son had been on was a new ship, which meant that they were on the first voyage of the ship...... It feels like this is a terrible flag, and the Titanic is also the first voyage......
However, the Mediterranean Sea is not the Atlantic, it is not so dangerous, and the three of them do not have to worry about being fed fish.
Accepting the commission, they came out of the detective agency, and as soon as the screen turned, they came to the ship.
The system deliberately ignores or omits the plot of them going to the dock to find the boat, indicating that there are no clues in that section, and it is easier to let the player appear on the ship.
In addition, it also revealed a more obvious signal, since the player appeared directly on the ship, instead of appearing on the island, it means that something may happen on the ship, and there may be clues on the ship, of course, An Yizhi feels that the probability of the former is relatively large, and they have seen all the places that this cruise ship can go since they got on the ship, and even the wheel room under the cabin has paid sailors to go in and visit, but they found nothing.
Without clues, there is naturally only one option, and that is to have an event happen.
So they are all blowing the sea breeze in the bow of the boat and waiting for the plot to begin.
Tu Hongyu tidied up his hat, it seemed that he liked to take a bowler hat, and he had a soft spot for old-fashioned suits of this era, which could be seen from the last copy of the Deep Mountain Pavilion.
The two of them were dressed almost the same as last time, both of them were coats and suits, as for Qingfeng Bazooka, she did not wear the clothes of women in this era, but wore men's clothes, plus her refreshing short hair and handsome face, she lived like a handsome and miserable handsome guy.
It's just that anyone with a discerning eye can see her true gender, and it feels impossible to dress as a man, after all, everything is exposed on her chest......
Such a beautiful beauty in men's clothing is quite eye-catching, and in the 1920s, such a dress was not accepted by the mainstream of the public, they felt that this was a model of unculture, and only the blind New World would wear it like this. For example, a few noble ladies gathered together nearby, judging from their whispering performance, it is estimated that it is not a good word.
Qingfeng Bazooka didn't care, An Yizhi was not very familiar with this girl, and had only met twice in total, so it was difficult to guess what she was thinking.
"It's getting dark"
"yes"
Looking at the already cloudy sky, the night gradually enveloped the cruise ship.
"Something should happen, whether it's a hit on the rocks, or a murder. It's boring to just be here with the sea breeze."
Saying things that the captain didn't like very much, Ann was bored leaning against the railing.
They've been here for more than half an hour, and it's been nearly two hours since they searched for the ship, but the plot still doesn't mean to start at all.
Is there any clue I haven't noticed?
No wonder An Yizhi thinks so, the system will not do useless work, since the player is given free time, there must be his use, but I don't want to use it generally.
Or is this time just a way for the player to familiarize themselves with the environment?
If you think about it along this line, it means that some of the things that happen later may be related to the environment of the ship, or maybe it is related to people?
He turned back to look at the deck, surrounded by a group of so-called gentlemen and noblewomen, whispering to each other. The three of them who stayed in the bow of the boat without saying a word seemed to be the most suspicious.
"Anyway, according to the rhythm of detectives, it seems normal for a fatality to happen on a ship"
"Just say something auspicious."
"Okay, then, according to Cthulhu's style, this ship is estimated to have been unspeakably on board"
Tu Hongyu: "......"
This is more unlucky than just now.
