Chapter 80: Pier Mutation (Seeking Chase Reads)

“What did you say?”

Gu Xi was startled by Luna’s words. At this moment, Luna also transmitted the requirements for activating these three piers.

[Pier (Unactivated): Activate after investing 30 units of wood and 15 units of stone. After activation, it can be upgraded to a commercial pier, and a temporary trade caravan will appear at the pier weekly.]

[Note: If there is a Pier Warehouse, the amount of goods carried by the caravan will double. If there is a Pier Market, the number of caravans appearing will increase by 1.]

[Note: The caravan may randomly bring five different resources or equipment for trade.]

[Pier (Unactivated): Activate after investing 30 units of wood and 15 units of metal. After activation, it can be upgraded to an armed pier, allowing a level 5 armed warship to dock.]

[Note: If there is a Pier Warehouse, the armed warship’s level will increase by 1. If there is a Pier Market, the number of weapons the armed warship can equip will increase by 1.]

[Note: The armed warship can be dispatched to participate in an armed mission once a week, lasting 1 to 3 days. Upon return, corresponding rewards will be obtained.]

[Pier (Unactivated): Activate after investing 30 units of wood and 15 units of food. After activation, it can be upgraded to an adventure pier, allowing a level 5 adventure ship to dock.]

[Note: If there is a Pier Warehouse, the adventure ship’s level will increase by 1. If there is a Pier Market, the adventure ship’s sailing time will increase by 50%.]

[Note: The adventure ship can be dispatched to participate in an adventure mission once a week, lasting 1 to 3 days. Upon return, corresponding rewards will be obtained.]

[Warning: The pier area has been prematurely activated!]

[Warning: The pier area has been damaged. Regional linkage triggered. Eerie ships have appeared. The pier activation method has changed. All piers have mutated!]

[Warning…]

Looking at these explanations, Gu Xi understood the situation.

The previous explosion caused chaos at these three piers. The activation, which could have been easily handled, now became uncertain.

Gu Xi continued reading.

[Pier Area Linkage Activation Method: Subdue the eerie ship.]

Subdue?

Gu Xi looked up at the Death Avatar charging towards the ship, his heart jolting.

“Fall back…”

But it was too late. The Death Avatar crashed right into the middle of the eerie ship.

With that collision, the eerie ship capsized and heavily crashed into the water.

“Forget it, destroy it.”

Gu Xi saw that the eerie ship was beyond saving, and he wouldn’t let the Death Avatar be in danger. The pier was right there; missing this activation wouldn’t mean there wouldn’t be another chance.

It wouldn’t hurt to reactivate it later.

As Gu Xi changed his mind, the Death Avatar hesitated in the air, but it still obeyed orders. With Gu Xi not stopping it, it transformed back into black mist and charged across the river.

Driven by the black mist, the capsized sailing ship was dragged to the other side of the riverbank, crashing heavily against the embankment.

With a loud boom, Gu Xi saw the dilapidated sailing ship disintegrate on the embankment, beyond repair.

After the Death Avatar destroyed the eerie sailing ship and returned to Gu Xi’s side, Gu Xi sighed.

“Luna, check if there are any new activation tasks. Luna, what’s wrong with you?”

Gu Xi, who was instructing Luna to check the pier’s situation, noticed that Luna’s expression was off.

Her face showed an expression that was neither crying nor laughing.

Asked by Gu Xi, Luna looked up and said, “Sir, the regional linkage activation task is complete.”

“Complete? That’s impossible. Didn’t it say we needed to subdue the eerie ship?”

“Yes, my system shows it’s complete.” Luna nodded affirmatively.

Gu Xi was surprised by this. The previous task requirement was to subdue it; smashing it to pieces also counted as subduing it?

“Show me the details.”

Luna immediately shared the information she could access with Gu Xi.

[Eerie ship destroyed. Pier area joint task completed. Activation effect transforming…]

[Activation effect complete. Three piers activated. Activation types: Eerie Pier, Haunted Pier, Evil Pier.]

[Pier area linkage effect generated. Ghost Domain Pier Area formed.]

Looking at the activation types of these three piers, Gu Xi didn’t know what to say.

Was this a normal activation type anyone could come up with?

A slightly helpless Gu Xi shook his head and checked the situation of the three piers.

As soon as he checked, Gu Xi’s eyes widened.

[Building Name: Eerie Pier

Level: 1 (Upgradable)

Characteristics:

A level 5 eerie ship will appear at the pier weekly.

After the eerie ship appears, 5 to 30 eerie beings with levels no higher than 5 will emerge, attacking and occupying the pier. They will leave after three days. During the occupation period, the pier will plunder 10% of Alierdo City’s resource output daily.

Killing all the eerie beings will not only recover the plundered resources but also yield a large amount of experience and resources. There is a 10% chance of opening an eerie treasure chest to obtain special equipment.

Note 1: Eerie characteristics are ever-changing; their combat strength varies greatly. Please pay attention to your own combat power when attacking eerie beings.

Note 2: As the pier level increases, the level of the eerie ship will also increase accordingly. Please pay attention to controlling the ship’s level.]

[Building Name: Haunted Pier

Level: 1 (Upgradable)

Characteristics:

A level 5 ghost ship will appear at the pier weekly.

After the ghost ship appears, it will stay at the pier for three days. During these three days, you can communicate with the ghost ship’s sailors or the captain. If you gain their approval within three days, they will reappear after three days and bring you some wealth.

Note 1: Ghost sailors are also a type of undead. As long as you communicate well, the interaction will be smoother.

Note 2: The thinking of ghost sailors or the ghost captain is different from normal people. The things they bring back may sometimes result in losses.]

[Building Name: Evil Pier

Level: 1 (Upgradable)

Characteristics:

A level 5 evil ship will appear at the pier weekly (ships include, but are not limited to, smuggling ships, slave ships, and pirate ships).

After the evil ship appears, you can communicate and trade according to the ship’s characteristics. Of course, you can also actively attack the evil ship, but every choice will affect the type of evil ship that appears the following week.

It may even affect the attitude of certain groups or forces towards you. If you do not intend to contact or conflict with them, please do not communicate with the evil ship.]

It was clear that the three piers had undergone significant changes. There was no longer the fixed weekly income from the previous adventure pier, commercial pier, and armed pier. Everything had become eerie and unpredictable.

Gu Xi wasn’t sure if this change was good or bad. He only knew one thing: troops needed to be stationed near the pier to keep watch.
