Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Bountiful Harvest
"Successfully killed [Hunter], all members receive +250 experience, 400 Copper Coins."
"Successfully killed [Hunter], all members receive +250 experience, 400 Copper Coins."
"Successfully killed [Hunter], all members receive +400 experience, 800 Copper Coins."
This is the experience gained from killing three Hunters.
It’s quite comparable to the experience gained from killing a Lord.
Hunters are also by default considered as Lords.
And then, came a bunch of item rewards:
[Basic Healing Pill] x5: Can heal all organisms below 20 Energy Level, the higher the Energy Level, the slower the healing speed.
[Cabin Expansion Scroll] x2: Can increase the sea ship’s cargo capacity by 500 tons.
[Blood Grenade] x2: Seems to be some sort of special Lord skill, throwing it can cause massive damage (initial damage of 20 Energy Level + 3 points/second continuous damage).
[Basic-level Future Brain Domain Chip] x1: Can greatly enhance the thought rate of the implant user, allowing them to evolve to gain the [Brain Domain Sharing] extraordinary ability.
Restriction: Can only be used by mental-type crew members.
Fang Yu:...
Alright, alright, another crew member can be modified...
[Level 1 Thick Armor Modification Scroll]: After use, gains enhanced sea ship modification ability, [Thick Armor].
[Sea Ship Repair Scroll] x3: After use, can repair sea ships.
So rich!
Looking at the additional experience and items on the panel, Fang Yu was overjoyed.
No need to talk about Blood Grenades, Fang Yu just took one head-on, and no one understands the power of Blood Grenades better than him.
And the [Basic-level Future Brain Domain Chip] is similar to the Titan Potion that Du Ran took before, capable of modifying crew members, allowing them to gain extraordinary abilities.
Fang Yu gradually figured it out.
As long as you kill lord-level creatures, there is a certain probability that items to modify crew members will drop.
The panel is very fair.
Crew members may not be as glamorous as the captain, but there are ways to compensate them in certain aspects.
Just like these items that only crew members can use.
However, Fang Yu thought about it and found it quite reasonable.
You know, normally on a sea ship, if a crew member earns one or two hundred Copper Coins from a cargo trip, that’s already pretty good, not like Fang Yu who gets hundreds of Copper Coins in rewards just like that.
Under such circumstances, how long would it take for crew members to afford magic stones?
Perhaps only at 30 or 40 Level they barely can afford it, right?
That’s still being extremely frugal and saving money, otherwise, under normal circumstances, daily expenses, guns, some defensive gadgets would have already emptied the crew members’ savings.
Working hard for a house on Blue Star, working hard for magic stones in Ocean World, that’s too damn miserable.
Only through the rewards exploded by the lord, crew members can gradually grasp extraordinary abilities in the early stages.
Fang Yu initially felt a bit jealous, why is the magic stone drop rate for captains so much lower than the evolution items for crew members.
But thinking about it now, it seems quite reasonable.
Besides, what delighted Fang Yu the most was the [Level 1 Thick Armor Modification Scroll].
He’s planning to upgrade the durability of the cargo ship, otherwise, in the future, when encountering reefs and island bombardments, his little broken ship would suffer.
Now it’s great, the little broken ship can be upgraded directly to have modifiable ability [Thick Armor] that can be strengthened by Lord Points.
Sweet.
Next... is the main event.
Fang Yu took a deep breath, in the empty captain’s cabin, he tossed a dice into the void.
"Choose third gain, double it!"
Fang Yu murmured.
The dice can only be tossed once a day, and only single gains can be tossed.
He killed three Hunters, considered as three gains, so he could only choose to double one of the most profitable gains among them.
The dice silently rolled in the void, finally landing on... 5!
points!
Lucky!
Fang Yu was delighted inside, seeing that experience and rewards were all multiplied by five.
experience → 2000
Copper Coins → 4000
Blood Grenades 2 pieces → 10 pieces
Basic-level Future Brain Domain Chip → 5 pieces
Sea Ship Repair Scroll 3 pieces → 7 pieces (Note, one each exploded by the three Hunters, one among them was doubled five times, totaling 7 pieces.)
[Level 1 Thick Armor Modification Scroll]: Five pieces.
(Note 2: The items that were not doubled are not exploded by this person.)
Looking at the overflowing experience on the panel, Fang Yu took a deep breath and chose not to level up yet.
Hold off on it, wait after a couple of days when the dice recovers, then level up.
There is no theory of suppressing levels for crew members, they automatically level up when reaching the points.
But there is for the captain.
Mainly some specific levels of the captain will evolve the sea ship as well.
At some key moments, you need the sea ship’s ability, but end up being unable to move during evolution, isn’t that a disaster?
So the panel thoughtfully gives the captain an extra authority: choose not to level up temporarily.
As for other doublings, it’s also a great joy for Fang Yu.
Fang Yu grinned and pushed open the captain’s cabin door, immediately seeing his few crew members already grinning.
Can you not grin?
Didn’t do anything, just pretended to be awesome, and the experience just surged up.
The old batch directly leveled up to 5, the new ones leveled up to 4, about to be at 5.
Everyone’s aura surged, overall strength rose to a new level.
Even their wealth increased a lot.
The guys suddenly seemed robust, turned into nouveau riche, privately discussing plans to hit the hotpot place tonight.
"Ambition!"
Fang Yu glanced sideways at them, ignoring everyone, directly called Ma over, and before Ma reacted, slapped the chip right into Ma’s body.
Du Ran turned his head, with a face full of teasing: "This I’m familiar with, looks like Ma will sleep for a few days, no hotpot tonight for Ma!"
Ma was stunned for a bit, his eyes dazed, and a while later he recovered, feeling his thoughts increasingly smooth, even his thoughts could link with everyone on board the sea ship, anything he thinks, others can perceive.
It’s much faster than voice command, equivalent to linking everyone into one body, sharing a single thought.
[Brain Domain Sharing]!
Ma brightened his eyes, quickly releasing his new extraordinary ability, letting everyone experience a wave of shared mind wonder.
Immediately, in everyone’s mind, Du Ran’s small voice of sarcasm sounded: "Why did I sleep for a few days when I evolved, but Ma woke up in a daze? Not scientific..."
Everyone stifled laughs, Ma glared at Du Ran, not bothering with this fool.
Sensing the shared thoughts in his mind, Fang Yu nodded.
This extraordinary ability is great, it’s a team-wide support type, can greatly enhance team battle capabilities, effectively binding all crew members of the sea ship into one thread.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu’s eyes suddenly shined.
Yes...
After tossing the dice this time, he generated four additional chips.
On his sea ship, just one of these is enough, any extras can’t be used.
If sold to Fu, wouldn’t that be...
Fang Yu’s eyes gradually brightened.
