Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Take Action, Bare Their Fangs
The crew’s behavior has gotten on the right track, and Fang Yu is quite pleased.
Letting the crew perform on their own.
Of course, extremely outrageous things like...
For instance, one night, Ma brought Du Ran to a foot massage parlor, pushed open the door, and shouted, "Fang Yu is picking up the tab for everyone here!"
Scared a big guy getting a foot massage so much that he almost wetted his pants and almost knelt, saying he would never dare come for a massage behind his wife’s back again.
Upon hearing about this.
Fang Yu, without saying a word, rushed to the parlor and dragged the two back, giving them a stern lecture.
Damn it, I just want to get famous, not socially die!!
This kind of behavior Fang Yu would stop, but for other actions, he waved and gave his support.
So in the past two days, Fang Yu’s name has completely spread around.
Tags like lucky, incompetent, and fast progress were also attached to Fang Yu, making him somewhat famous in Qiyun Port.
Naturally... he caught the attention of some people.
"This guy... his skills aren’t great, but his progress is pretty fast, his level shouldn’t be low."
"Don’t underestimate him completely; with his level here, he can’t be too pathetic, and if we’re not careful, we might find ourselves in trouble."
A certain group immediately paid great attention to Fang Yu because they had gathered too much information about him in the past few days and were almost too familiar with him.
"Yeah, boss is right, if only one person went to find Fang Yu, he might be counterattacked by him. His energy level is probably over 3, so his reaction speed won’t be weak. He might even react the moment a gun is drawn."
"We need more people to target him!"
The leader looked at the others and then spoke softly:
"This way, I’m the highest level among us, so I’ll take care of killing Fang Yu, just in case, I’ll bring two more brothers with me."
"As for the other five brothers, each of you keep an eye on a target, and once you’ve killed someone, we run immediately!"
On the ship where this group was "holding a meeting," several pieces of investigation information about each captain were nailed to the wooden board for everyone to see.
[Fang Yu, estimated level: 7, estimated energy level: 3+, extraordinary ability: none, main attribute: investing crew, remarks: lucky, fast progress, high level, but generally skilled, danger level: 5]
Besides Fang Yu, there were dozens of other captains’ investigation information, and some were even abandoned because they were too dangerous.
[Shi Yong, estimated level: 6, estimated energy level: 3.5+, extraordinary ability: suspected attack ability, danger level: 10, abandoned hunting.]
...
Some had similar danger levels to Fang Yu.
[Zhang Yu, danger level: 4...]
[Wang Ran, danger level: 3...]
After further discussion among a few people in the room.
The leader, the highest level person, took down Fang Yu’s information and left the captain’s room.
The other five looked at each other, some acted alone, directly took another captain’s information, and quickly left.
Some teamed up, tore down other captains’ information, and also left quickly.
The Hunter group consists of 8 people!
And the targeted captains are 5!
Among them is Fang Yu!
...
"What’s going on? Mr. Fang? These days I’ve been hearing everywhere that you’re super lucky and timid?"
In a small tavern, Lu Kun sat facing Fang Yu, looking at him with suspicion and curiously asked.
"Uh... well..."
Fang Yu took a deep breath and blushed immediately.
Did these words reach Lu Kun’s ears?
Why does it feel like being roasted online, only for real-life friends and family to come across it, resulting in social demise?
"Don’t worry about it, I’ve got my troubles!"
Fang Yu stammered, trying to cover his embarrassment by silently picking up a cocktail from the table and taking a sip.
"Alright then!"
Lu Kun shook his head, not really bothered, picked up the cocktail on the table, clinked glasses with Fang Yu, and said with a smile:
"The sea mining project I mentioned before has already started. I heard that your ship is equipped with cannons."
"How about it? Interested in taking sea mining orders? It’s quite lucrative!"
Lu Kun invited Fang Yu to the small tavern this time because he heard that Fang Yu’s ship already had cannons installed, which secretly delighted him as he planned to let Fang Yu take the sea mining orders.
Sea mining is very dangerous!
There’s always the risk of being hijacked by pirates, so the cargo ships for transportation must have the ability for cannon modifications.
Otherwise, it’s impossible to deter the prying eyes of pirates.
Even with the influence of the Ji Clan Trading Association, it’s rare to find captains suitable for sea mining orders, so they sought Fang Yu.
"Sure!"
Fang Yu’s eyes lit up; sea mining is a big project.
High risk means high reward; sea mining orders are much more profitable than ordinary cargo.
"But brother, you’ll have to wait a bit, I have some things to handle right now. Once I’m done, I’ll have my subordinates contact you!"
Fang Yu thought for a moment and didn’t immediately agree to Lu Kun.
Recently, there’s been quite a stir about the Hunters.
But the Hunters should act soon.
As soon as they kill a captain, the interface will gradually change towards the Hunter interface.
They only have a few days left; otherwise, once the interface shifts, the presence of the opposing camp will be felt by every captain.
Then, nowhere to hide, the only option will be to leave.
Before leaving, this group of Hunters will go on a final frenzy!
...
After seeing off Lu Kun, Fang Yu finished the drink in his glass and left the bar, beginning to walk the streets of Qiyun City.
Though this world is 90% ocean, with most people relying on the sea to survive, life on land is quite lively and varied.
The nightlife is vibrant with neon lights; the more boring life at sea becomes, the richer life on land should be.
Many who make a living at sea, whether Outer Realm Captains or natives, spend their earnings on entertainment once ashore.
Occasional laughter from young men and women could be heard from afar, gradually fading into silence.
Fang Yu walked forward, intentionally or not, choosing deserted alleyways to walk through.
The surrounding alleyways grew increasingly desolate, with the stench of randomly disposed garbage permeating the streets.
Leftover fish, piled for days.
Very fishy, very unpleasant.
Fang Yu frowned and quickened his pace, seemingly wanting to pass through the alley quickly and return to his ship.
At that moment, he stopped, feeling a cold cylindrical object silently pointed at the back of his head.
"Die!"
A cold, husky voice came from behind Fang Yu.
The attacker didn’t give Fang Yu a chance to react and pulled the trigger instantly.
"Bang!"
A muffled gunshot, silenced by the suppressor and the night’s liveliness, went off quietly in a deserted alley.
Murderous intent, the frenzied night, expectant eyes.
The Hunters... bared their fangs at this moment!
