The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful Chapter 1

Chapter 1

“Welcome to the Lord of Glory.”

“This is a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak.”

“Each player will become a lord, building their own territory, collecting resources, establishing trade relations, and leading their armies to conquer all directions.”

“Each lord will have one chance to draw from the initial recruitment camp for their army and be randomly assigned territory and some initial resources. There is no absolute fairness, so make good use of everything you have.”

“Obscurity or fame, death as dust or eternal transformation, all depends on a single thought…”

Ji Chen sat on the wide, white beach, staring blankly into the distance.

As he watched the exit button disappear from the menu bar, he felt a complex mix of emotions.

To understand why, we need to go back to just over ten minutes ago.

Filled with excitement, he entered the new game “Lord of Glory,” intending to have a good time playing this game for lords that claimed to have a billion beta testers.

But what he didn't expect was that he couldn't choose to log out of the game once he entered.

At the same time, he heard a mechanical female voice in his ear.

“Become a lord, draw your army, recruit troops…”

It took him a while to snap out of his daze.

His mood was slightly complicated.

If he understood correctly, the game had probably merged with reality, or he had transmigrated into the game. But regardless of which possibility it was, it meant that he could not go back.

Although this seemed a little unbelievable, it was difficult for people to react in time. However, since things had already turned out this way, he could only smile and raise his middle finger to face reality.

However, after the initial confusion and helplessness, he was surprised to find that this wasn't something he couldn't accept. On the contrary, he was starting to feel a sense of happiness.

After all, it was just a game, and life was like a game, wasn't it?

Playing was always fun, regardless of where it was.

Besides, he was already living alone, so there was nothing to hold him back.

Moreover, this world looked much more interesting.

Images of various fantasy creatures, armies attacking, and lords living in the game trailer slowly flashed through his mind.

The anticipation and excitement in his heart slowly emerged.

He would lead thousands of troops, conquer land and enemies, and become eternal.

Things that were difficult to achieve in the past could perhaps be achieved in this world.

“Since I've already entered this world, I can't change or go back. So, why don't I abandon the past and welcome a new life? At the very least, I have to live a more exciting life than before. ”

“The players are all at the same starting line, so I can't fall behind. It's time to take action. Every minute and second in the early stages of the game is precious! ”

Ji Chen nodded firmly.

He shook off all the messy thoughts in his mind and stood up to pat the sand off his butt.

He began to observe his surroundings carefully.

In front of him was an endless sea. The blue waves rippled, and the water and sky were one color.

A flock of seagulls flew leisurely in the distance, against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The sound of the tide washing the fine sand created a rhythmic melody, while the salty sea breeze blew across his face, offering a sense of relief.

To his left and right, the long white beach extended as far as the eye could see, eventually meeting the black cliffs looming in the distance.

In the distance, a two-masted sailboat lay half-tilted and stranded between the reefs, its wooden frame damaged and weathered by the elements. Most of it was submerged in water, giving it a desolate appearance.

” Looks like I've landed near the seaside. The scenery is pretty good. ”

Ji Chen turned around and gazed upon the lush forest with its verdant branches and leaves. As he pondered where his territory might be located in this new world, an arrow suddenly appeared before him, pointing towards a small forest path.

[Your territory (54 meters away)]

Ji Chen realized that his territory was located in the jungle, not too far from the beach. However, he didn't immediately head towards it. Instead, he opened the menu bar again to explore his other options.

Aside from the missing logout button, he noticed that there were other options available in the menu bar.

For example, the personal interface, territory interface, and so on.

Ji Chen observed that the other options in the menu bar, besides the personal interface, were grayed out. He speculated that this might be due to not having entered his territory yet.

“The opening option that I chose when I entered the game should be in my personal panel…”

He thought for a moment and opened his personal interface.

A light screen suddenly appeared in front of him.

[Name: Ji Chen]

[Level: 1 (0%/100%)]

[Identity: Ocean Lord]

[Main Class: Warrior (Apprentice)]

[Sub-profession: Fisherman (Novice [Proficiency:0/100]）

[Lord's Talent: Sea's Favor I (Blue talent, can evolve into a rare talent, favored by the Ocean Mother. The concept of its use is relatively broad. The current clear use is:(1) It is easier to obtain the gifts of the ocean. (2) When the troops under your command are near the ocean, their stamina and recovery speed will increase by 30%)]

[Territory Name: Nameless Village (changeable)]

[Territory Level: Level 1 Village]

[Military recruitment camp: None (the initial military recruitment camp selection opportunity has not been used)]

[Item: Worn fishing rod (1-star treasure)]

Upon entering the game, Ji Chen had only been able to choose his main and secondary professions. The rest of his attributes, such as his identity, talent, and descent location, were randomly assigned by the system.

A glimmer of joy flickered in his eyes as he reviewed his Lord's talent.

It was the Sea's Favor, a blue talent.

Could this be a rare and evolvable talent, he wondered.

Having played many games, he naturally understood the meaning of 'rare' and 'evolvable.'

Ji Chen couldn't believe his luck at having randomly drawn such a powerful talent. He was thrilled to discover that its effects seemed to be compatible with his sub-profession of Fisherman.

As he looked down at his interface, he realized that he had yet to draw the military recruitment camp. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of troops he would be able to recruit with it.

The moment he had such thoughts, the light screen in front of him suddenly changed. An ordinary wheel appeared on the screen, divided into twelve white squares, with the needle fixed upwards.

A notification sounded in his ear.

[Ding ~ We have detected that you are a Sea Lord. Placing Sea Troops.]

As soon as the system finished speaking, twelve rays of light suddenly appeared from the edge of the light beam. They circled around a few times before drilling into the wheel like swallows returning to their nests.

As the grid of the wheel changed, some black shadows of the army appeared.

Ji Chen widened his eyes to try to see what kind of soldier was in the grid.

However, other than a large number of blurry black shadows, it was difficult to see what kind of soldier it was.

He took a deep breath and knew that it was time to test his character and luck again.

With a single thought, the wheel on the screen began to turn on its own.

After several quick rotations, the wheel gradually slowed down and landed on one of the squares.

The wheel disappeared, and a chubby shadow emerged.

“Ding~ You have drawn River Murloc (2 stars, first rank).”

Ji Chen's mouth twitched slightly.

He had only drawn a first-rank troop.

In “Glory of the Lord”, troops were generally divided into seven ranks, ranging from first to seventh rank, with each rank consisting of 1 to 9 stars.

Meanwhile, the River Murloc's level was only 2-star Tier 1. which was not only the lowest rank but also one of the weakest troops even among the first-rank troops.

Those with high emotional intelligence would say, “At least I'm higher than the 1-star first-rank troops.”

Those with low emotional intelligence would say, “I'm second to last.”

Despite having drawn a rare talent, Ji Chen had only managed to draw a low-ranking Murloc.

As the mechanical female voice had said, there was no absolute fairness in the game.

Ji Chen sighed softly and closed the light screen.

Without further ado, he followed the arrow and quickly walked into the jungle path.

After walking for more than fifty meters, the scenery suddenly opened up before him.

A clearing appeared in front of him.

Several tall wooden houses stood in the clearing, and more than forty villagers dressed in rough clothes were gathered in the middle. Each of them had a look of expectation as if waiting for someone.

“These villagers are in my territory, could they be my subjects?” Ji Chen thought to himself as he walked towards them.

As expected, when these villagers saw him, their eyes lit up and they excitedly came to him, kneeling down before him with a loud “thud.”

“￥%&#!@…”

Ji Chen couldn't help but furrow his brows, feeling confused.

These villagers were speaking a language that Ji Chen had never heard before. Their pronunciation and intonation were very different from what he was used to.

As he was feeling a little lost, he noticed that the words they were saying seemed to be slowly changing. Gradually, he began to understand some of the words they were using.

At first, he only understood a few simple words, but then he began to grasp short phrases. Eventually, he was able to connect the sentences together and understand everything they were saying as clearly as if it were his mother tongue.

The villagers were pleading, “Great Lord of Glory, please save us!”

Sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you very much!
