Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Cheng Peng’s Warning
Fang Yu was very stingy and very wary, guarding against Luo Kuan like a thief.
Always felt like this guy had bad intentions, waiting to sneak behind the cannon seat and fire the cannon while he wasn’t paying attention.
"Luo Kuan, you better behave yourself, consider this a dismissal warning!"
Fang Yu said irritably to Luo Kuan.
A direct verbal warning!
Luo Kuan shrank back, somewhat displeased.
But from the moment Fang Yu stood in front of him and blocked a crocodile’s attack for him, Luo Kuan had long since become Fang Yu’s lackey.
His loyalty was off the charts.
He had completely taken on Fang Yu’s image.
Despite feeling a bit itchy, he obediently became a fisherman again.
Sigh...
After experiencing the thrill of firing a cannon, looking back at being a fisherman seemed a bit dull.
A sparrow cannot comprehend the ambition of a swan!
Luo Kuan disdainfully glanced at Luu Yuan and the others fishing obediently, directly provoking them.
"Damn dog, come meet your death!"
Luu Yuan and others immediately rushed at Luo Kuan...
...
Ignoring the fighting crew members, Fang Yu returned to his captain’s cabin and glanced at the sky.
As the evening was approaching, Fang Yu instinctively slowed down the ship, planning to sleep at sea for a night and then reach Qiyun Port energized in the morning.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s expression shifted as he looked at the forum.
Someone privately messaged him?
He opened the forum and saw a red dot on Cheng Peng’s avatar, it was Cheng Peng who messaged him.
Cheng Peng was the wealthy young master who previously helped Fang Yu pay for and purchase the shield magic stone.
Logically, with the backing of his family, Cheng Peng should have already started integrating into this world, taking on various cooperation orders, gathering resources everywhere, and even taking down several Sea Beast Lords by now. Why was he taking the time to chat?
Curious, Fang Yu clicked open the private chat panel and saw the message Cheng Peng sent:
"Brother, where are you sailing? Recently, I heard something happened over by Qiyun Port, be careful."
Seeing Cheng Peng’s message, Fang Yu was slightly surprised: "What happened at Qiyun Port, old pal?"
Cheng Peng: "I have an elder working in the Ocean Court, tonight, the Ocean Court issued an arrest warrant for sailors, located at Qiyun Port."
"It seems someone from your batch of sailors has already become a Hunter."
"You should be cautious."
Seeing Cheng Peng’s words, Fang Yu couldn’t help but be taken aback: "Hunter? From our batch?"
Cheng Peng: "It should be, the warrant has already been issued, but brother, if you can take on this warrant, you might want to try, as the Ocean Court is preparing to draft legislation targeted at Blue Star sailors."
"I don’t know much of the details, overall the Ocean Court seems to want to cultivate a batch of sailors to specifically tackle the Hunter issue."
"If you perform well enough, you might get some resources from the Ocean Court."
Fang Yu, curious, wanted to ask more.
But Cheng Peng seemed to encounter danger, only having time to say: "Chat later".
Then he quickly went offline.
Fang Yu felt a bit regretful and somewhat grave.
In this brief exchange, he obtained some very important information, but also missed some details due to the short conversation time.
He could only wait for Cheng Peng to handle the current risk before asking him more thoroughly.
As for the Hunter situation.
Fang Yu sighed slightly.
All sailors entering this world will face this problem, it’s just a matter of time.
Fang Yu had already mentally prepared for this.
As for the warrant at Qiyun Port, whether it really is due to the Hunter problem, he would find out upon reaching Qiyun Port.
Fang Yu then reduced the speed of the ship, ensuring he would arrive at Qiyun Port in the morning.
With that, he lay down on his bed and quickly fell asleep.
...
The next morning, Fang Yu woke up to the sound of the ship docking.
He got up and glanced at Du Ran...
Alright, this guy was still asleep after taking the evolution potion, probably wouldn’t wake up until tomorrow or the day after.
Evolution is a long process that requires using sleep to alter Du Ran’s genetic sequence.
Very normal.
"Let’s go, Du Ran is still sleeping today, guys, let’s first unload the cargo and complete this cooperation order, then we’ll see what’s happening at Qiyun Port."
Fang Yu waved his hand and spoke to everyone.
"What’s happening at Qiyun Port?"
"Captain, what’s going on at Qiyun Port?"
Several crew members curiously asked.
Fang Yu shook his head, not planning to hide it, casually saying: "It might be a Hunter issue, we will know after we disembark."
"Everyone, be more careful these two days, and don’t wander off alone."
"Hunter?!"
The few of them were taken aback, glancing at each other, seeing the grave expressions in each other’s eyes.
Is it finally time to face this issue?
None of them were in the mood for jokes, obediently following Fang Yu to transport all the pork from Nanyu Island to the Ji Clan Trading Association’s warehouse.
The warehouse manager had previously met Fang Yu.
Seeing Fang Yu and the others deliver Tang Xian’s pork shipment, he couldn’t help but smile and say: "Fang Yu, my little brother, 1000 tons of pork, I’ll settle it as per the cooperation order, 8 Copper Coin/ton."
"Here you go, eight thousand Copper Coins!"
"Mission complete, all team members gain 200 experience points, captain receives 8000 Copper Coins."
"Activated leader skill, captain receives an extra 200 Copper Coins, crew members receive an extra 100 Copper Coins."
...
"Thanks, Ming!" Fang Yu grinned and said to the warehouse manager in front of him.
"No problem, we’re all brothers here!"
Ming laughed heartily, speaking casually to Fang Yu.
"Ming, I heard yesterday that the Ocean Court issued a warrant here at Qiyun Port, what happened?"
Fang Yu, while accepting the payment, curiously asked.
"Warrant?" Ming nodded slightly, his expression grave, speaking in a low voice: "An Outer Realm Captain was killed; more than one, it seems to be the work of a Hunter."
"Little brother, you are also an Outer Realm Captain, and your progress should be faster than others, worry about being targeted by Hunters."
"Your chances of being killed might be much higher than other captains of the same period."
Ming spoke in a low voice, his expression very grave.
The natives of this world, although not clear on the concept of "level", can generally sense that captains with faster progress grow quicker and are more likely to pull away from other ordinary captains.
Though not understanding the principle, Ming undoubtedly knew Fang Yu’s "level" was higher than other ordinary captains.
Such high-level captains are the primary targets for Hunters in the early stages...
Listening to Ming, Fang Yu nodded slightly, his gaze cold: "If those scumbags dare to mess with me, I’ll make sure they regret it, but..."
"Ming, where was the captain killed?"
Fang Yu curiously asked.
"It should be at the entrance of the modification shop; several captains went to the modification shop together, only to be targeted, and got shot down right at the entrance."
Ming sighed slightly.
"The modification shop, huh? Thanks, Ming!"
Fang Yu nodded, bidding farewell to Ming, and ordered his crew to stay on the ship while he moved towards the direction of the modification shop.
