Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Great Gains and Future Plans
This time, we completely annihilated the pirate ship and collected a total of 2300 experience and 5700 Copper Coins from all pirates, including elite pirates.
The key point is that shooting down two sea ships yielded similarly rich experience.
The auxiliary ship increases experience by 500, Copper Coins by 700.
The main ship increases experience by 800, Copper Coins by 1000.
Everyone, during this battle, collectively gained 3600 experience points and 7400 Copper Coins!
The five new recruits’ eyes lit up in excitement, and they exclaimed gleefully.
"I swear to serve Captain Fang Yu to the death!!"
"I’m Li Dapao, I belong to the Salted Fish my whole life!!"
"I love Captain Fang Yu!!"
How could they not be excited?!
With 3600 experience points piled up, these five new recruits instantly leveled up from Level 3 to Level 6!
Leveling up 3 levels at once! That’s ridiculously exaggerated!
Moreover, there are 7600 Copper Coins.
For a crew member, what does 7600 Copper Coins mean?
Before a captain reaches Level 5, all the Copper Coins they earned might only be this much.
And now you’re telling me one battle can earn this much?
No need for a bicycle!
These guys returning to Qiyun Port can go clubbing with models every day now, hey!
...
Ma looked at the excited faces of the new recruits, feeling old and wise:
"You guys... you need to cherish your current life..."
"Back in our days, we didn’t have conditions like yours!"
Ma thought he needed to buy a pack of cigarettes to keep on the sea ship.
He doesn’t smoke, but sometimes Ma feels like lighting a cigarette and gazing towards the horizon...
Giving off a profound sense of an old soldier...
...
Not to mention the new recruits, even the old members like Luu Yuan, Luo Kuan, and others averaged a...
2-level increase!
The average level of the old crew members reached Level 7, while the five new recruits also reached Level 6.
Everyone’s getting rich, each considering whether to buy some enchanted equipment after returning to port to arm themselves, to strengthen their power...
And perhaps... it’s time to look forward to the post-Level 10 scenario.
After all, Level 10 represents a qualitative change, where crew members’ basic talents will upgrade to intermediate talents, resulting in stronger qualitative change effects.
Who wouldn’t want to reach Level 10?
Level 10 also means it’s a level where one can attempt exploring non-Safe Sea Regions.
It’s quite appealing!
...
Looking at the excited crew members, Fang Yu wanted to directly rush into the cabin and shoot that fattest pirate lord right there.
But further accusations toward Wang Chen require the pirate lord’s testimony, so Fang Yu resolutely suppressed his primal urge, and silently... rolled a Dice.
The Dice rolled in the void and eventually landed on...
5...
Great!
Fang Yu felt secretly pleased inside.
Last time it was 2 points, this time it’s 5 points, very balanced!
"Main sea ship, obtain double rewards!"
Fang Yu sat in the empty captain’s cabin, giving a secret command to the Dice in his mind.
Immediately, the rewards for the main sea ship directly doubled.
experience → 4000 experience.
Copper Coins → 5000 Copper Coins.
Not only that, after destroying the pirate ship, some special rewards also experienced a doubling effect.
Sea Ship Repair Scroll 2 pieces → 10 pieces.
Treasure Map 1 → 5.
Pirate’s Rum 3 bottles → 15 bottles (Effect: After drinking, strength increases by 20% but reaction speed decreases by 10%).
Basic Black Market Cargo Ship Pass 1 → 5.
Water Rhythm Stone 1 → 5 (can make Ocean Affinity Talent crew members undergo Extraordinary Transformation)
Of course, besides the main sea ship, Fang Yu also obtained other assorted items, which he temporarily stored in his panel space.
Then, he summoned Luu Yuan and another crew member with Ocean Affinity Talent, handing two Water Rhythm Stones to them.
This item is useless to the captain, only crew members with Ocean Affinity Talent can use it.
Once used, they can acquire Extraordinary Ability, producing abilities similar to that pirate leader.
As long as their bodies touch water, they can integrate into the water and move swiftly.
Even as their ability improves, they can use sea water to form a water body, which is effective for attack, defense, and pursuit.
As for the three extra Water Rhythm Stones, Fang Yu plans to keep them for now, to see if new crew members with Ocean Affinity Talent are recruited later, allowing them to undergo Extraordinary Transformation.
Although Fang Yu’s Lord Points currently confirm investment in only four crew members, it’s also possible to invest in Extraordinary Transformation for other crew members.
After all, when employees follow a boss, there should always be some hope.
Moreover, crew’s Extraordinary Transformation significantly enhances war power.
This time, Du Ran and Ma, the two already transformed crew members, exhibited unparalleled combat capabilities, which Fang Yu noted on the battlefield.
Elite Transformation focuses on overall enhancement.
Extraordinary Transformation focuses on improving individual crew members’ strength.
The more crew members undergo Extraordinary Transformation, the greater the benefit to Fang Yu.
Besides these gains, there’s the experience.
Fang Yu glanced at the experience on the panel at that moment.
Frigheningly high!
7100/1800.
Holy cow...
Fang Yu took a deep breath, suppressing his primal urge.
This experience is enough for him to level up twice!
But no rush, today’s chance to roll the Dice has been used up, Fang Yu planned to level up on the way back.
...
The sea ship sliced through the waves and soon headed for Qiyun Port.
Fang Yu stood in the captain’s cabin, with his gaze passing through the window, looking into the distance and beginning to think quietly.
Having gained rewards, the next step is to consider how to upgrade the sea ship.
Although this encounter successfully annihilated the pirates, it also exposed some issues.
The sea ship’s attack methods are still too singular, somewhat relying on his Extraordinary Ability.
Of course...
This is largely due to Fang Yu investing more resources in his own Extraordinary Ability, spending tens of thousands of Copper Coins purchasing an attack-focused Extraordinary Ability.
If this money were invested in modifying the sea ship, more cannons might contribute, even the ship’s armor could be enhanced.
Therefore, this time going back, Fang Yu plans to invest more effort in sea ship modifications and concurrently practice his shooting skills...
Because Fang Yu found that if shooting at static targets or ordinary pirates, there are actually no issues.
But elite pirates, some powerful masters have already developed certain intuition and a sixth sense, able to capture rifle targeting and avoid it in advance.
Although this time, that modified man was shot dead by me with three bullets, it was also due to his reliance on his steam backpack flying and lack of agility.
In fact, before he shot, he had already sensed the lock-in of the movement and reacted with evasive intentions in advance.
If it weren’t for the high frequency of rifle attacks, it might have been difficult to kill him.
This serves as a wake-up call for Fang Yu, making him take gun shooting training seriously.
Returning to Qiyun Port... it might be possible to find a teacher to learn properly...
Fang Yu thought silently.
