Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Du Ran’s Talent, Elite Crewmember
Receive Lord Points?
Du Ran’s eyes lit up, without hesitation, he enthusiastically ran over to Fang Yu, looking at him expectantly.
Holy crap.
Such a good thing, is it finally my turn, Du Ran?!
Investing Lord Points is something only the captain can decide, the captain has absolute control.
Moreover, a captain, on average, upgrades 3 levels before investing 1 Lord Point on a crew member.
This shows how precious Lord Points are.
It can be said that as long as a crew member receives even one Lord Point investment, their value skyrockets.
Even if they leave the original ship to apply to other ships, there would be many captains willing to pay a high price to snatch them up.
And no matter which ship the crew member goes to, they will become a core member, possessing strong competitiveness.
After all... recruiting a crew member who has received Lord Point investment is equivalent to taking a Lord Point from another captain.
Extremely popular.
Some organizations use this method to breed a super captain like breeding competition fish, but for ordinary captains, every elite crew member is a highly sought asset.
Hearing the captain wants to invest in him, Du Ran eagerly ran over to Fang Yu, being very obedient.
Looking at Du Ran in front of him, Fang Yu nodded slightly.
As long as his crew isn’t stupid, they will never betray him.
Some unique qualities he has inadvertently shown during this time are enough to let the crew realize Fang Yu’s extraordinariness.
Wanting to leave would be a foolish thing!
"Investing in crew member: Du Ran, successful, Du Ran upgraded to elite crew member, generating leadership skill [Additional Power]."
[Additional Power]: Increases all crew members’ attack power by 15%.
Du Ran’s muscles emitted crackling sounds, making him appear even stronger.
Becoming an elite crew member means at each level up, the individual energy level gained is higher than normal crew members.
Now, if Du Ran were to fight another crew member with the same level non-elite power talent, Du Ran could totally dominate.
"Not bad!"
Seeing the new leadership skill Du Ran acquired, Fang Yu nodded slightly, feeling lucky to have hit the jackpot.
A power talent crew member converting to an elite crew member might generate two types of leadership skills.
[Additional Power] and [Super Power].
Additional Power increases all crew members’ attack power.
While Super Power increases all crew members’ strength.
Unquestionably, Super Power applies to more scenarios, but it’s more ordinary.
Additional Power only suits battle scenarios, but it’s more effective.
It increases crew member attacks.
Not just fists or collision attacks.
Even firearms, pistols, and extraordinary power attacks can be increased.
This undoubtedly suits the current situation of the Salted Fish, so Fang Yu felt like he won the lottery.
The entire ship underwent a massive upgrade.
Consider it preparing for the path to kill the head alligator.
At this moment, Fang Yu’s expression changed as he heard Luu Yuan’s voice in the group:
"Captain, I found it! Such a big crocodile, oh my... should we observe it first? If this guy goes berserk, it might capsized the ship."
Luu Yuan posted a photo in the group.
Everyone hurriedly looked and was startled.
There lay a Sand Crocodile about 12 meters long, lazily stretched on a hidden reef.
Its figure was immense, like a small ship, exuding an intimidating aura.
Such a beast, even a light sweep of its tail would stir up monstrous waves.
This must be the head alligator of the Sand Crocodile.
This hidden reef, presumably, is the lair of the Sand Crocodile.
Fang Yu observed closely and saw in the photo roughly 7-8 Sand Crocodiles, indicating that those sent to hunt fat pigs on Nanyu Island were already a large part of the Sand Crocodile group.
Indeed... such a massive head alligator could eat a few pigs in one meal, only one or two Sand Crocodiles to steal pigs could never satisfy the head alligator’s appetite.
Luu Yuan was understandably terrified.
Such a colossal creature was entirely beyond ordinary individual scale.
He kept asking in the group whether they should still kill this head alligator or just let it go?
After all, Tang Xian on Nanyu Island could account for the mission with over ten dead Sand Crocodiles.
"No way! Today we must kill this Sand Crocodile!"
However, Luu Yuan didn’t know...
The crew on the ship was already eager for action, especially Du Ran, who, after becoming an elite crew member, was impatient to prove himself, to make a contribution, to demonstrate his value.
Now hearing Luu Yuan’s hesitation, Du Ran was the first to disagree.
"Okay, I’ll keep an eye here, you guys hurry over, or else this head alligator might escape."
Luu Yuan sent a sigh emoji, then spoke to everyone.
The head alligator, having learned of the "tribe" deaths on Nanyu Island, would likely soon lead the crocodile group away from here.
If missed, finding these Sand Crocodile figures again would be very difficult.
Hearing Luu Yuan’s words, Fang Yu nodded, without saying much, he quickly steered the ship rushing forward.
"Buzz!"
The ship roared, while Fang Yu felt full of confidence.
This upgrade was a giant leap, significantly stronger than when they previously eliminated ordinary Sand Crocodiles.
Determined to seize the momentum and take down the head alligator!
Yet, at that moment, a "thud" sounded from beneath the ship, followed by a violent shake, causing everyone on deck to struggle for balance.
"Crap, hit a reef."
Fang Yu frowned, the ship was linked to his soul, he could feel the bottom of the ship had suffered severe impact.
Durability instantly dropped by 4%.
Ships have durability, once hit or attacked, durability decreases.
Once below 20%, there’s the risk of disintegration.
This is why only high-level captains can explore unknown waters.
On one hand, due to threats from extraordinary creatures, on the other, from issues in extreme sea regions!
In extreme sea regions, winds turn into spirits attacking ships, whirlpools, corrosive waters, can appear.
Only high-level ships can withstand these dangers.
And by comparison, reefs are considered very basic nautical conditions.
"Be careful!"
Fang Yu frowned, no longer joking with Du Ran and others, focusing entirely on the navigation below.
One collision, still fine.
But ahead is a reef zone, how could there be just one collision.
If there are many hits, Fang Yu might have to consider turning back, or though they kill the head alligator, the ship would be destroyed.
It’s not worth it.
"Thud!"
At this moment, another collision sound came from below, durability continued to drop by 3%, leaving only 93% durability remaining.
In the dense reef group, even if Fang Yu is very careful to avoid, due to the size of the ship, it can still collide with reefs.
Fang Yu couldn’t help but sigh.
Looks like afterward, he has to consider upgrading the ship for reinforcement...
