Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 664 - 332: Essence Feast Company (2)

"Our South Island Continent operates openly, championing trade and believing in the principle that every individual possesses equal rights and deserves the chance to acquire resources."

"Because of this philosophy, the Essence Feast is not hosted in other locations; only Nanhui City features numerous establishments accessible to all."

"However, as a consequence, the market prices for resources there are somewhat higher compared to other places, as maintaining these establishments incurs expenses."

Kong Huaao elaborated with a smile.

Having rested both physically and mentally during their two-day voyage, he had fully recovered.

Once freed from his captivity and having endured a fierce battle, his spirits had been low.

Yet, following a period of recuperation, his state gradually improved, enabling him to engage in lighthearted conversation with the crew aboard the Salted Fish.

Upon hearing Kong Huaao's explanation, the denizens of the Salted Fish became visibly excited.

They began to clamor, eager to hasten their journey towards the port of Nanhui City.

Observing their enthusiasm, Fang Yu did not quell their spirits but promptly accelerated the ship's pace towards the South Island.

He cast a glance at the crew, who were still engrossed in discussions about the situation on South Island, gave a slight nod, and then quietly retreated to the Meditation Room.

Within the tranquil confines of the Meditation Room, gentle motes of light drifted, bringing a sense of calm to Fang Yu's heart and completely shutting out the boisterous sounds of the crew from his sanctuary.

In that moment, the external world ceased to exist for Fang Yu.

He turned his attention to his panel space and, without any hesitation, retrieved a Dice.

"Upgrade!"

"Congratulations, Captain Fang Yu, your level has advanced to 37, granting you 1 Lord Point."

"Allocate the Lord Point!"

Fang Yu's voice echoed softly within the Meditation Room.

The dice then tumbled, ultimately settling on a roll of... 2 points!

"Ah, well..."

Fang Yu sighed, shaking his head.

He felt a pang of unluckiness.

Following the preceding conflict, Fang Yu had first vanquished the fully Extraordinary Transformed Commander.

He then piloted the ship, tearing through the enemy fleet and fighting their way to freedom.

Throughout this ordeal, Fang Yu amassed a substantial quantity of experience and currency, more than enough to propel him to level 47.

Yesterday, on the first day of their return, Fang Yu had reached level 46 and was granted 3 points from his dice roll.

One point was channeled into his personal attributes, elevating his Power Level from 65.5 to 67.1.

The remaining two Lord Points were invested in the skill Profound Light Sword and Shield, pushing its level to the maximum capacity.

With its ultimate upgrade, the Profound Light Sword and Shield underwent a dramatic transformation. Its foundational power surged by 150%, now capable of manifesting two and a half times the original strength and defense.

When combined with Dragon's Breath, it could unleash truly devastating might.

And today, Fang Yu attained level 47, yielding 2 points from his dice roll. One point was again dedicated to enhancing his personal stats.

Power Level: 67.1 → 68.7.

The final Lord Point was allocated to the Dragon Sacred Qilin.

The Dragon Sacred Qilin possesses the unique ability to negate 10% of incoming damage and subsequently convert it into Power Level, bolstering both the captain and the crew.

This skill serves a dual purpose, offering both defense and recovery.

With Fang Yu's intervention, the Dragon Sacred Qilin's level immediately climbed to 1, and its damage immunity factor increased from 10% to 12%.

If this trend continues, upon reaching its maximum level, the Dragon Sacred Qilin’s damage immunity could potentially reach a staggering 30%.

Furthermore, this 30% immunity is not merely a passive reduction; a portion of the negated damage is transformed into Power Level, supplying vital energy to Fang Yu and his crew.

Considering the existing damage reduction capabilities of the ship's shield, the cumulative damage mitigation could approach nearly 50%.

Fang Yu, having experienced countless games on Blue Star, understood the immense significance of such a potent defensive capability.

A 50% damage reduction would undoubtedly render the ship an almost impenetrable fortress once the Dragon Sacred Qilin reached its peak potential.

These recent upgrades brought Fang Yu considerable satisfaction.

However, new advancements often bring new complications.

The ship's Extraordinary Transformation necessitates that all its associated paths achieve the second stage before further progression is possible.

Fang Yu examined the panel's path evolution and couldn't suppress a wry smile.

Who would have anticipated the revelation of a fourth path, simply titled

Although 'Glory of the Era' isn't limited by level, it can grant its blessing at any stage.

However... without faith, or when one's emotions and spirit wane, Fang Yu's 'Glory of the Era' ability starts to falter.

Just like now, the 'Glory of the Era' attribute on Fang Yu's status panel has dimmed, failing even to meet its activation requirements.

These individuals, having narrowly escaped peril, had begun to relax, ceasing to maintain the power of 'Glory of the Era'.

Considering this, Fang Yu couldn't help but pause for a moment.

Indeed, he should have already experienced a simplified form of the 'Glory of the Era' blessing previously.

That was the 'Sharp Blade Army'.

Back then, whenever the morale of the 'Sharp Blade Army' surged, a portion of that power could be bestowed upon himself, amplifying his own capabilities.

Reflecting on it now, this was the foundational application of 'Glory of the Era'.

At that time, his level was too low, and his understanding hadn't caught up, so he hadn't given it much thought.

Unexpectedly, he had already inadvertently embarked on the fourth path; this ability lay dormant and its sudden appearance on his panel due to the crew's fluctuating emotions made sense.

Nevertheless, Fang Yu gave a slight shake of his head, unwilling to pour excessive effort into 'Glory of the Era'.

Water can support a boat, yet it can also capsize it.

This volatile ability might not be the best fit for him; he needed to focus more on the other three paths.

For the moment, 'Soul Transformation' could be set aside.

This aspect had already advanced to its second stage, and he wouldn't need to concern himself with 'Soul Transformation' again until at least the 'Extraordinary Ship'.

However, his progress in both 'Body Transformation' and 'Mutate' had yet to reach the second stage.

If he aimed to increase his level to 50, he would undoubtedly need to advance both these paths to their second stage.

'Body Transformation' was actually manageable.

With an abundance of 'Essence of Flesh and Blood', obtainable from defeating Extraordinary beings or even large ordinary creatures, this resource was both inexpensive and widely available.

On the other hand, 'Extraordinary Essence' was not cheap.

The difficulty of extraction far surpassed that of 'Essence of Flesh and Blood', requiring the removal of the essence from a life form possessing an 'Extraordinary Ability'.

Even extracting from a massive ordinary creature, like a whale, would yield nothing if the creature hadn't awakened an 'Extraordinary Ability'.

Consequently, 'Extraordinary Essence' was significantly more costly and harder to acquire than 'Essence of Flesh and Blood'.

It was likely that he would need to rely on the 'Essence Feast' company to procure some 'Extraordinary Essence' to stand a chance of advancing to the second stage.

...

Lost in thought, Ma's voice suddenly called from outside the door:

"Captain, we've arrived at Nanhui City!"
