Chapter 27: Chapter 27: Shield Ability Evolution
"Buzz!"
As Fang Yu summoned it, the Salted Fish sliced through the night, bursting out of the darkness and swiftly arriving in front of everyone.
The sea ship is spiritually connected with Fang Yu, this Ocean Lord.
When Fang Yu summons the sea ship, it departs from the seaport to find Fang Yu.
Looking at the approaching sea ship, Fang Yu said nothing, quickly leading everyone aboard the Salted Fish. Then, driven by thought, the Salted Fish sailed into the distance.
"Luu Yuan, how’s it going on your side? Are you still following behind the Sand Crocodile?"
Fang Yu directly asked in the group.
"Captain, everything’s going smoothly. I’m following this Sand Crocodile, it’s relatively safe for now, but there are quite a few reefs here, so be careful when the sea ship comes over."
"Alright!"
Fang Yu nodded, closed the group chat, and then utilized the bond between the sea ship and Luu Yuan to sense Luu Yuan’s location, promptly steering the sea ship in that direction.
Crocodiles, although amphibious, usually prefer staying in shallow waters or swamps.
Simply put, they’re places with land and sea water.
These Sand Crocodiles have been working together for a long time, familiar with the routes on Nanyu Island.
Their lair is definitely near this Nanyu Island.
Now that part of the Sand Crocodiles has been killed by Fang Yu and his team, Fang Yu decided to strike while the iron is hot, find the Sand Crocodiles’ lair, and then kill the leader crocodile.
The reward for killing the leader crocodile is likely to exceed that of killing the entire Sand Crocodile group.
However... there’s also the potential for great danger.
After all, from the information, the leader crocodile of a Sand Crocodile group usually has a body over ten meters long, extremely powerful, with a tail strike force so terrifying it can shatter a ship.
Fang Yu’s eyes were solemn as he glanced at the surrounding crew, speaking softly, "Du Ran, have you all leveled up? We’re going to kill the leader crocodile this time, so keep your spirits up, adjust your state, and don’t mess up!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Du Ran and Ma stood up quickly, responding loudly and seriously.
The Sand Crocodile group consisted of 12, with Fang Yu and the others having slain 11, increasing the team’s experience by 110 points.
Luo Kuan and the other three rookies still had some distance before reaching level 4.
But Du Ran and Ma had used this experience to level up to level 4.
At this moment, the aura around Du Ran and Ma was thicker than before.
Presumably, their strength had also increased.
Fang Yu nodded, looking at his own panel.
Level: 5 (20/1200)
New Lord Points: 1
Not only had Du Ran and the three others leveled up, but Fang Yu himself had also reached level 5.
On his panel, there was 1 extra Lord Point.
Looking at his panel, Fang Yu didn’t hesitate, quickly retreating to his captain’s cabin, quietly taking out the dice, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes.
If it was before, he would have rolled it without a second thought.
But today, he was about to go kill the leader crocodile.
The dice can only be rolled once per day.
If he rolls the dice, then the rewards for killing the leader crocodile cannot be rolled.
The reward is expected to be quite generous, making Fang Yu hesitant.
But... if he doesn’t roll the Lord Point, then this level-up won’t maximize its benefits for Fang Yu.
Thinking about it, Fang Yu gritted his teeth and quietly tossed the dice into the void.
Failing to double the reward from the leader crocodile’s death could be made up for later, but missing out on the Lord Point from leveling up is irreplaceable.
Lord Points are truly scarce!
With this thought, Fang Yu didn’t hesitate, directly rolling the dice.
...
2!
Fang Yu frowned, not entirely satisfied, but better than just 1 point.
Indeed, after a stroke of luck comes a few misfortunes.
However, from the last level up, Fang Yu got 5 Lord Points at once, with 2 points remaining.
Adding the current 2 points, he has a total of 4 left.
"Whew!"
Fang Yu felt that leaving 2 points last time was indeed a wise choice because these 2 points were meant for dealing with unfortunate events.
Lord Points...
This time, Fang Yu didn’t plan to keep any points, as he would soon be facing a colossal beast over ten meters long with a tonnage.
Any mistake could result in shipwreck and death.
point is definitely for investing in his own attribute growth.
Fang Yu’s energy level instantly rose from 3.4 to 4.2 levels.
Officially becoming a man with four times the strength of an average adult...
The remaining 3 points, Fang Yu planned to invest 2 points into the shield extraordinary ability, and the other point, to invest in Du Ran!
He didn’t hesitate to allocate 2 points to the shield.
Immediately, the shield skill underwent a massive transformation.
[Shield (lv.4) → (lv.5)]: Can withstand a total of 29.4 energy level attacks (7X Captain’s energy level), then shatters, recovery time: 3 hours.
Additional Ability 1: The Lord can alter the shield’s range and share the shield with crew members.
Additional Ability 2: The shield has a rebound ability, with a rebound coefficient of 20%.
The basic coefficient of the shield didn’t change from level 4 to level 5, but it gained two additional abilities, making this extraordinary ability even more flexible and adaptable.
Extraordinary abilities are almost like this.
Every 5 levels is a watershed.
As the level reaches stages like 5, 10, 15, etc., the extraordinary abilities undergo special changes, gaining additional abilities.
Now the shield can support the crew members, which is good news, avoiding the situation where Luo Kuan faced danger and had to rely on personal efforts to save him.
Continue to upgrade!
[Shield (lv.5) → (lv.6)]: Can withstand a total of 42 energy level attacks (10X Captain’s energy level), then shatters, recovery time: 2 hours.
Additional Ability 1: The Lord can alter the shield’s range and share the shield with crew members.
Additional Ability 2: The shield has a rebound ability, with a rebound coefficient of 25%.
With 2 more Lord Points, the shield reached level 6, gaining fearsome capabilities.
Looking at the robust coefficient of the shield, Fang Yu was satisfied.
Don’t look at that rich scion Cheng Peng, who spent tens of thousands of Copper Coins to acquire rare extraordinary abilities for offense and defense, staking his claim at the start.
But can Cheng Peng, like Fang Yu, invest Lord Points into extraordinary abilities every level?
No.
No matter how precious or advanced an extraordinary ability is, without the investment of Lord Points, it’s quite ordinary.
And even the most worthless extraordinary ability will eventually become terrifying with continuous investment of Lord Points.
And Fang Yu managed to invest every Lord Point in the shield every level.
This made his shield extraordinary ability extremely formidable.
Moreover...
Even if Fang Yu now stops investing in this extraordinary ability, its effects will gradually improve with Fang Yu’s energy level, already being a core extraordinary ability.
Fang Yu was content, nodded, and then pushed open the door of the captain’s cabin, shouting loudly:
"Du Ran, hurry up and come over here to receive the Lord Points!"
