Chapter 124 The Beginning of the Battle of Haishan
Xu Ning: ? ? ?
Are you subtly criticizing me, you old rascal?
Turning to look at Ningguang, Beidou, Qingyi, and Xiaoxiangling beside him, Xu Ning felt that Han Feng's smiling face was full of mockery.
"Ahem, I just suddenly remembered that, logically speaking, since this was a gift that Ningguang paid for to make for me, shouldn't Ningguang also have a share in the naming rights?"
Ningguang suppressed a laugh and said, "I think Master Hanfeng has a good name."
Xu Ning turned to Ning Guang with a bitter face and said seriously, "We can't be hasty about naming things. Let's eat first and then discuss it further!"
Today seems destined to be a happy day.
Just as everyone finished their lively meal, someone from the shipping company came looking for Ningguang, reporting that the new ship was ready to be launched.
Beidou remembered Xu Ning's instructions and felt an itch to go, but dared not take the initiative to suggest going to test the ship.
Seeing her pitiful look, Xu Ning laughed and said, "In that case, let's go and ride on this big ship that embodies the hard work of Chief Steward Xiao!"
Beidou excitedly hugged Xu Ning and laughed, "Xu Ning, you're the best!"
Xu Ning leaned against the gunwale of the new ship, watching Beidou busily running up and down, smiled, and then looked down at his boxing gloves.
"Nameless Gauntlets, base attack power 38, elemental mastery 41."
"Burning Fire and Thunder: Increases damage dealt to enemies affected by Pyro or Electro by 12%".
In the end, Xu Ning did not agree to the name that was full of malice, and the boxing gloves were displayed as nameless on the panel.
Compared to Xu Ning's max-level beginner gauntlets with an attack power of 56, these nameless gauntlets have slightly lower attack power, but they do have elemental mastery and a new skill, "Fire and Lightning."
Xu Ning flicked the Dust Concealment Gourd and called to Qingyi, "I used all my refined magic ore to upgrade the Beidou Greatsword, and it's a waste to throw away the original beginner gauntlets. Could you fuse these two gauntlets together?"
Qingyi gestured for Xu Ning to bring the gauntlet in his hand closer to the dragon's eye. A beam of white light instantly entered the nameless gauntlet, raising its level to 13.
Attack power has also increased to 68, and elemental mastery has also increased to 56.
Xu Ning brought up his control panel.
"Wine Elements / Xu Ning"
Grade: 20/20
Maximum Health 2582
Attack power 154
Defense 167
Elemental Mastery 69
Stamina cap 170

Having obtained a secluded and winding secret realm similar to a training room, how could Xu Ning not make good use of it?
However, after reaching level 20, his strength stagnated.
Although he couldn't see the character stats on Teyvat, Xu Ning knew that his strength was stuck at a bottleneck.
If I can't break through my own level limitations, I'm afraid I'll soon be left behind by Beidou, or rather, I'll be left behind by Beidou right now.
The capabilities of BeiDou have been steadily improving, and there is no sense that it has stagnated at all.
In the Battle of Haishan, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will surely obtain the Thunder-attribute Divine Eye that belongs to her.
At that time, her strength would probably be even greater.
"Qingyi, can't we discuss this a little more?"
Xu Ning, his index finger clad in bronze armor, traced the dragon pattern on the Dust Concealment Gourd, sparks flying.
The woman in green popped her head out and roared, "I told you we can't buy on credit, why don't you believe me? Besides, those data can't fully represent your combat strength, what are you so worried about?"
Xu Ning smiled wryly: "I'm not afraid that one day that little girl Beidou will suddenly find out that I'm stronger than her, then she'll bully me just like I used to bully her!"
The man in green laughed wildly and uttered "Serves you right," before instantly pulling his head back inside.
Xu Ning didn't chase after her to beat her up; instead, he continued to think about how to improve himself.
As before, Beidou practiced on the new ship almost every day, and only showed Xu Ning the sword technique he had comprehended at night.
During this time, two merchant ships from Inazuma were attacked by Haizan, and both the crew and the ships were destroyed.
The schedule for killing Haishan suddenly seemed to become tense, and all the people involved gradually became anxious.
However, Qi Xing and Xu Ning remained calm and managed to delay their attack for several more months.
Haishan is also quite vengeful. Being injured twice in a row, it seems to hate Liyue, and it keeps lingering around Guyun Pavilion and Yaoguang Beach.
Finally, we found traces of Haishan's reappearance once again.
After finishing his sword practice for the day, Xu Ning told Bei Dou that they were ready to attack.
The entire Liyue Harbor suddenly became tense.
All the ships carried sufficient supplies. With his Black Rock Slashing Blade on his back, Beidou gave an order, and everyone immediately set off fully armed.
Xu Ning stood on the ship's side, watching the large ship beneath him slowly sail out of the harbor, and couldn't help but recall what Old Xiao had said when he was watching the ship that day.
"To be precise, this ship is not yet a finished product."
Old Owl pointed to the ram at the bow and said to Beidou, "I still haven't named this ship. Logically speaking, it's a bit unlucky for a large ship to be launched without a name."
"But I don't believe in that stuff. I only believe in my own craftsmanship. Little girl, the future of this ship is uncertain. If you can slay Hai Shan, I will personally carve Hai Shan's image on the bow for you, and then you can give it a nice name!"
Is the situation still undecided?
This battle will determine the fate of the world.
Hai Shan was being watched from afar by two speedboats, who kept sending out their positions to these large ships via fireworks.
Several ships quickly approached the location of the sea mountain.
"If it attacks us from the water like it did last time, we'll have a way to subdue it. How can we make it take the initiative?"
Beidou asked Xu Ning, who was standing beside him.
Xu Ning smiled and said, "That's easy, just tell it that the people who injured it the last two times have come again!"
Xu Ning walked to the side of the ship and poured the wine gourd in his hand downwards.
It must be said that Haishan's senses are extremely sharp, and he almost instantly judged from the unusual seawater that the person who first attacked him was on the ship above.
The surge of the seawater suddenly became treacherous.
Both Beidou and the veteran sailors who recognized the scent of the waves immediately knew that the ferocious beast was about to rise from the seabed.
Moreover, the first strike will undoubtedly be on the new ship that Beidou is on.
"Signal with flags, the other four ships, be on alert for capture. Main ship, prepare to withstand ramming!"
