Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Unknown Card
"Boom!"
On the way back, the explosion of the ship behind him caught Fang Yu’s attention.
He turned his head, glanced at the ship behind, and put down the sniper rifle in his hand.
It seems those two pursuing Transcendents were tricked by the Black Snake Gang. This can probably be seen as a gesture of goodwill from the Black Snake Gang leader.
But Fang Yu wasn’t interested in getting tangled up with these gang forces.
The factions in this world are clearly divided. It’s still better to honestly stand on the Safe Sea Region’s side.
Whether taking missions or trading, it’s very convenient and there’s no need to face dangers that could arise at any time.
As for the gangs, forget it.
"Return, Qiyun Port!"
Now with the transaction documents proving Wang Chen sold his information to the Lighthouse Association in hand, Fang Yu was anxious and headed straight for Qiyun Port.
Then, Fang Yu locked himself in the room and quietly threw the dice in his hand.
The dice rolled around and finally landed on: 2 points.
Alright...
Fang Yu shook his head, 2 points it is. The reward for shooting the Lighthouse Association president was already quite generous, doubling it is not bad.
Instantly, this time’s experience began to double, rising from 1000 to 2000 points.
However... ever since Fang Yu reached level 10, the experience needed for leveling up greatly increased.
Leveling from 9 to 10 required 4000 points.
But to go from 10 to 11, the experience requirement soared to 7000 points, nearly doubling.
This meant that after this voyage, his experience only reached over 6100 points, still short of reaching level 11.
Fang Yu was stunned, leveling from 10 to 11 is incredibly difficult!
But he heard that many captains from corporations know some ways to quickly gain experience and level up. The higher the captain’s level, the faster they seem to level up, which is very strange.
Of course, for most captains, who are uninformed, as their level increases, leveling up becomes increasingly difficult.
Some captains, after reaching level 30, had to grind for months to gain just one level.
Yet there are captains who, after reaching level 30, increased their level swiftly, becoming increasingly powerful.
It’s an information gap.
What truly causes the gap between the two groups? Why can some captains easily gain large amounts of experience and substantially level up? Fang Yu was deeply curious.
It seems he needs to chat with Cheng Peng tonight to get some information from him.
Then, Fang Yu turned his attention to other rewards.
[Prime Assassin]: When the captain wears this title, they can deal 10% more damage to life forms above elite level, with a 0.1% chance to deliver a critical hit. (Concept of critical hit: 10 times damage, not instant kill)
As for the ship cannon scrolls...
Fang Yu glanced at his ship, tore open two ship cannon scrolls without saying a word, and built two ship cannons on the ship.
"Alright... a total of three ship cannons, no more."
Fang Yu murmured.
In the early stages, the more ship cannons, the better, because in the early stages, hiring a sailor with cannon skills is sufficient to release heavy weapons.
But as the ship’s level increases, the captain faces a problem: upgrading the ship’s cannons.
Some cannons are enchanted and have invested Lord Points, but inevitably, some cannons remain unenchanted.
Such unenchanted cannons become awkward.
The power can’t keep up, but dismantling them means a loss of several tens of thousands of Copper Coins and a few thousand in dismantling fees, which is heartbreaking.
A captain can afford two cannons counts as a luxury. As for Fang Yu, he has plenty of Lord Points, so having one more doesn’t matter.
As for the remaining two Alchemy Eyes.
Fang Yu hesitated.
Honestly, he could use these too, as they could be considered a kind of Extraordinary Ability related to firearms.
But considering he’d have to gouge out his eyeball to replace it with the Alchemy Eye in his hand, Fang Yu couldn’t quite accept it.
After some thought, Fang Yu called over Luo Kuan and handed one Alchemy Eye to him, saying:
"This thing... honestly, it can unlock firearm-related Extraordinary Abilities, but... it requires replacing your original eyeball. I’ll give it to you, and you decide whether to install it or not."
Fang Yu thought for a moment, then grabbed Luo Kuan: "If you don’t install it, remember to return it to me. I can sell it."
Luo Kuan was taken aback, immediately clutching the Alchemy Eye in his hand with a vigilant look at Fang Yu, afraid Fang Yu would take it back.
"What? You’re actually going to install it?"
Fang Yu was somewhat surprised.
"What’s the big deal?" Luo Kuan didn’t mind, grinning: "I didn’t lose an eye. The vision with this is way better than the original, a huge boon for firearm talents!"
"My abilities mostly relate to alchemical technology. From the start, I was prepared for body modification."
"Alright, you’re a tough one! You keep this eye!"
Fang Yu waved a big hand, closing the door as he still had to study other items.
But he didn’t notice...
Luo Kuan stood outside the door, staring at the Alchemy Eye in his hand, in a daze for a long moment.
After a while, his hesitant gaze became determined.
"The captain uses guns too... this eye can present many dynamic data, a big help for the captain."
"Ma can share what I see with the captain, so I’ll just be the captain’s Alchemy Eye..."
Luo Kuan thought to himself, subconsciously gripping the Alchemy Eye tightly.
Fang Yu didn’t realize...
The weight he holds in his crewmates’ hearts might be greater than he thinks...
...
At this moment, Fang Yu didn’t think too deeply.
Right now, he held a black card in his hand, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
This thing...
What exactly is it?!
Fang Yu was inwardly startled.
Since entering this world, any dice he rolled had the effect of doubling the outcome.
But just now, everything like experience, scrolls, and eye all doubled, except for this black card. It wasn’t doubled.
It remained a solitary card, exuding a deep metallic luster.
This thing... is definitely not simple!
Otherwise, his dice shouldn’t be unable to double this card.
Yet Fang Yu looked at the description of this card.
[Unknown Card]
Attribute: Unknown
Effect: Unknown
Introduction: This is an unknown card, seemingly collected from the body of an assassinated individual, supposedly having some special function.
Special function?
Fang Yu shook his head, feeling that guessing wildly was pointless, and decisively placed the unknown card into the panel space.
What this thing is for can only be figured out later.
For Fang Yu, the more immediate concern was addressing the problem of experience not keeping up with his level.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn’t help but open Cheng Peng’s profile:
"Peng, are you there?"
