Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 639 - 323: [Consumption], Are You Sure It’s Not a Bug? (2)
Previously on Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls...
"If Mr. Zhao would observe more closely, he would grasp that it is I who am truly averting conflict, the one holding back the other two major political powers. The northern and southern military factions, long oppressed by the Duorong Federation's might, harbor deep resentment and inevitably pressure me into making decisions under the guise of seeking glory."
"At times, I am not even the master of my own destiny."
Sovereign Lanyun let out a sigh, projecting an air of helplessness.
Upon hearing Sovereign Lanyun's pronouncements, Zhao Chenlin's countenance shifted subtly, and he demanded sternly, "So, you have firmly decided to plunge us into war?!"
"Mr. Zhao."
The sovereign's expression regained its composure: "My reasons have been laid bare before Mr. Zhao; there is no need for further discourse. The Ocean Court may mediate international disputes, but should you not abstain from meddling in Lanyun's internal affairs?"
"I have no desire for war, yet many circumstances lie beyond my command. I trust Mr. Zhao can comprehend this."
"You!"
"Mr. Zhao!"
The sovereign interjected before Zhao Chenlin could voice his retort, "Very well, I still have matters of post-disaster reconstruction to attend to. You understand, if public sentiment is not assuaged, we may indeed be compelled to commence hostilities."
"Let us conclude our discussion for today."
The sovereign spoke as his form began to dissipate, on the verge of vanishing completely.
"Why do you shy away from meeting Fang Yu?!"
"Why do you refuse to let Fang Yu bring Hua Yu to demonstrate that the Sin Domain incident was not orchestrated by Duorong?"
"Why have you placed Fang Yu under house arrest at this location?"
"Do you possess the courage to disclose the truth to the populace? The Sin Domain affair undeniably has other underlying causes."
"Your standing significantly surpasses mine, so why was it I who reached the scene first, and not you?"
Zhao Chenlin's voice boomed, his frustration palpable.
However, by this juncture, the surrounding spatial confines had already been dismantled by the sovereign.
Zhao Chenlin's vision swam, and he found himself abruptly situated within a thronged marketplace, the surrounding individuals regarding him with peculiar stares.
At this precise moment, the sovereign’s barely audible voice permeated Zhao Chenlin’s ear.
"I shy away from meeting Fang Yu?"
"Very well, in two days' time, bring Fang Yu and whatever evidence you hold dear, and meet me at the Congress!"
Upon hearing the sovereign's declaration, Zhao Chenlin stood momentarily stunned, then his brow furrowed slightly.
In the subsequent moment, Zhao Chenlin turned and departed.
"I must notify the Ocean Court; Fang Yu cannot meet an unjust end within the Lanyun Sea Country."
Zhao Chenlin mused internally, a flicker of concern crossing his features.
The Ocean Court, regarded as unparalleled across the globe.
Yet... it has a vulnerability.
That vulnerability lies in the internal conflicts plaguing the Sea Country...
He sensed an ominous shadow cast over the world at this present time.
The Lanyun Country's stance appears less than straightforward, with an unresolved enigma perpetually clouding his perception.
Why... did the Lanyun Sea Country elect to instigate conflict at this particular juncture?
...
"Dice, task rewards have been doubled."
At this very moment, aboard the vessel, Fang Yu casually tossed the dice.
The dice hurtled through the air, ultimately settling upon... a roll of...
5!
A value of five?
Fang Yu's eyes gleamed with elation as he observed the modifications to his panel rewards corresponding to the dice roll.
The arrival of Zhao Chenlin this time had yielded exceptionally generous task rewards.
Fang Yu, seizing the opportune moment, decided to apply his dice roll to these accumulated rewards.
As anticipated, following the dice toss, his good fortune manifested, bringing a pleased smile to Fang Yu’s face.
Not only Zhao Chenlin, but Fang Yu too had perceived an unsettling shift in recent times.
And unlike Zhao Chenlin, Fang Yu was directly caught in the maelstrom, fueling an intense desire to bolster his capabilities.
As Zhao Chenlin had also stated, Fang Yu needed to maximize this period for secluded cultivation and advancement; any increment in his power would translate to enhanced security amidst the unfolding Lanyun Sea Country crisis.
At this instant, with Fang Yu's dice throw, the rewards displayed on his panel rapidly updated to reflect the following figures:
Experience +10 million (14.8 million/4.5 million)
This substantial influx of experience was sufficient to elevate Fang Yu's level by three entire tiers, propelling him directly to level 46.
However, the dice were currently undergoing a cooldown period, compelling Fang Yu to suppress his eagerness and opt for patience.
Money: 1,000 → 5,000 Gold Coins (Total 7,300 Gold Coins)
Ocean Court Points: 2,000 → 10,000
With the doubling of the Ocean Court Points, Fang Yu's faction standing saw a swift transformation:
Ocean Court: F-level reserve member (88/100) → D-level squad leader (7,000/10,000)
Gazing upon his elevated Ocean Court faction rank, Fang Yu experienced a measure of surprise.
It had been a considerable duration since he last prioritized his Ocean Court faction progression.
In recent times, Fang Yu had predominantly concentrated on ascending the ranks within the Duorong Federation military.
Fang Yu hadn't yet had the opportunity to elevate his Ocean Court faction's rank.
Deep within his heart, Fang Yu constantly harbored the wish for his Ocean Court faction level to eventually eclipse his military standing within the Duorong Federation.
After all...
The greater the influence, the more substantial the advantages derived from its level.
While his military rank in the Duorong Federation was certainly not insignificant,
it paled in comparison to the Ocean Court faction level, with the latter naturally holding far greater allure.
In this world, no other influence's rank could possibly contend with that of the Ocean Court.
Seizing this chance to advance his Ocean Court faction level brought immense delight to Fang Yu.
After his initial perusal of the rewards yielded by the dice roll, Fang Yu's attention swiftly zeroed in on the two pages of Ocean Law Codex Fragments residing within his panel space.
