Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Treasure Chest Jackpot, Mirror Battleship
"Luu Yuan, keep up!"
Fang Yu’s voice echoed in the Brain Domain, bringing Luu Yuan slightly back to reality: "Sure!"
Then the figures of the two advanced, quickly arriving near the treasure chest.
Acquiring an underwater treasure—it’s hard but not impossible, simple yet not easy.
The difficult part lies in the water pressure and oxygen.
Without a water-based Transcendent plus an underwater combat suit, one can only scratch their head; even high Energy Level individuals cannot descend.
Water-based Transcendents can produce a fish-like underwater breathing ability, although they still need to surface for air, their endurance far exceeds that of ordinary crew members.
The reason it’s considered simple is that if one possesses the above abilities, these seaweed-like obstacles appear harmlessly cute compared to Transcendent life.
Though seaweeds continually wrap around trying to separate their bodies, they barely chip the shield, not even reducing its energy level by 30.
The location of the chest lies approximately one hundred fifty meters deep beneath the surface.
Here, a section of reef rises high like a mound, the chest sits atop the reef.
Luu Yuan has already activated the underwater combat suit’s lights, revealing the situation ahead clearly.
Fang Yu saw this and couldn’t help but smile; he casually extended his hand and lifted the chest before him.
"Acquired underwater treasure, treasure map -1."
"Gained underwater chest, crew experience +500."
"Acquired underwater treasure, triggered [Shared Wealth], Captain receives 20k Copper Coins, crew receives 10k Copper Coins."
Fang Yu and Luu Yuan nodded and immediately moved upward.
Soon, the two surfaced, then followed the ropes dropped by the crew and climbed aboard the ship.
"Boom!"
Fang Yu directly threw the chest onto the deck, catching the curious gaze of all the crew.
Everyone gathered around, peering at the chest like they’d never seen the world.
"Is this the legendary treasure chest?"
"Open it quickly; is there really Gold Coin inside?"
"Whoa, I read on a forum that one expert in the Extreme Sea Region painstakingly salvaged a chest, opened it to find a Top Level Enchantment Scroll and Life Substitution Gem, and sold it for thousands of Gold Coin, striking it rich."
Luo Kuan exaggerated loudly, saliva nearly dripping down.
"Whoa, Luo Kuan, wipe your mouth; don’t drool on the chest!"
The crew protested, then turned their eyes to Fang Yu: "Captain, shall we open the chest?"
"Alright!"
Fang Yu grinned and, amidst the crew’s eager looks, directly lifted the lid of the chest.
As the chest opened, everyone couldn’t wait to look inside.
Inside the chest lay a scroll.
"Scroll?"
Fang Yu, curious, reached and took the scroll, then under the crew’s curious gaze, projected the scroll’s description into everyone’s minds via Brain Domain Sharing.
[Mirror Warship]
Attribute: Unique constant modification tool.
Restriction: Cannot be upgraded via Lord Points; only one modification per ship.
Effect: Projects a ship within one nautical mile of the main vessel, possessing 70% of the primary ship’s Energy Level, lasting 5 minutes before disappearing, recharge time: 3 days.
Constant modification tool special effect: Does not consume enchantment quota.
"Hiss?!"
Everyone inhaled sharply, exchanging glances, excitement flickering in their eyes.
Whoa...
Isn’t this the cloning skill?
Though the clone only inherits 70% of the main ship’s Energy Level, once released, it amounts to gaining an additional ship to assist the Salted Fish in offense.
Although this ability cannot be upgraded via Lord Points, it actually increases with the ship’s improvement.
Later on, as the ship’s cannons are enchanted, and power grows, the clone’s power will also increase.
In essence, as the Salted Fish upgrades, the clone’s ability enhances accordingly.
It’s simply a divine modification tool!
"Awesome... Once cloning begins, won’t it be six cannons firing, blasting the opponent to smithereens?"
Luo Kuan muttered, eyes brimming with excitement.
This thing is incredible, a divine skill.
The key point is that as a constant modification tool, it does not consume enchantment quota, yet possesses an ability more terrifying than enchantments.
Everyone knows that post-level 10 ships rely heavily on enchantment strength.
The more enchantments, the stronger the ship’s combat power.
Ships also have a limitation on enchantment tolerance.
A level 10 ship can only endure one enchantment.
At level 15, the quota rises to 3, gaining two more enchantment spots.
Reaching level 20 increases to 5, with the option to upgrade one to a medium-level enchantment.
Level 10 is a threshold; each enchantment quota is precious, essential for distinguishing ship power.
Currently, the Salted Fish has essentially gained an enchantment advantage compared to other ships, bringing happiness.
"This can’t be bought, it’s only discovered through treasure hunting."
Ma excitedly glanced at the captain’s room door.
Outside the captain’s room, a quietly floating gem appeared.
At this moment, the gem was brimming with energy, ready to activate to project a virtual image of the Salted Fish with 70% combat power.
"We can walk sideways from now on."
Du Ran chuckled honestly.
"What’s up? Du Ran, you mean you couldn’t walk sideways before? Did you endure grievances? Speak them to the Captain if you must!"
Luo Kuan glanced sideways at Du Ran, starting his cheeky remarks again.
Du Ran glared at Luo Kuan: "Get lost! Always with the cheek, huh?!"
...
"Alright, fellas... This chest opened a jackpot; let’s set off for the next treasure chest’s location!"
Fang Yu smiled.
The treasure from this chest was indeed a stroke of luck.
This ability rivals that of a medium-level enchantment, making Fang Yu eagerly curious about the next chest.
If this chest is mighty, the next might yield valuable treasures too.
Without hesitation, Fang Yu ordered the Salted Fish to speed toward the next sea region.
"Buzz!"
The Salted Fish emitted a crisp sound, picking up speed and heading directly toward the next treasure map’s location.
That evening, Fang Yu naturally threw his Dice again.
This time, luck was moderate, only tossing a 2.
Experience: 500→1000 (Total Experience: 11800/13000)
Still some experience shy of leveling up.
As for the scroll inside the chest, it had doubled.
However... looking at the extra scroll, Fang Yu pondered.
This item... a ship can only use it once, obviously it should be sold.
Furthermore, it might fetch a handsome price.
But, Fang Yu wasn’t going to sell it to Cheng Peng.
Selling to Cheng Peng is reserved for items available in major stores or those with decent drop rates.
Rare items like this, if circulated amongst Outer Realm Captain groups, would erase Fang Yu’s hard-earned advantage, wouldn’t it?
Fang Yu compared himself to the corporate heirs; if one of them bought this item, much of Fang Yu’s efforts would be wasted.
Find an opportunity to sell it to Mr. Lu, let Mr. Lu distribute it to the native captains instead.
Avoid creating powerful competitors from thin air.
Fang Yu mused.
