Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 667 - 333: Arrival at Nanhui City, Extraordinary Ship Captain Rude Yue (3)

The surrounding crowd rapidly regained their composure. Numerous captains of Blue Star Extraordinary Ships flashed smiles, making their way toward Fang Yu. They presented their business cards and eagerly added him as a friend through the forum's connection feature.

"You can call me Yue Ming, though most know me as Rude Yue, Brother Fang Yu!" spoke one.

"I'm Zhang Shun. Brother Fang Yu, would you be so kind as to add me on the forum?" another chimed in.

"Having more connections opens up more avenues. Should you ever face difficulties in Nanhui City, don't hesitate to seek me out, Li Jing. We brothers will offer our assistance if we can!" a third offered.

All these captains of Extraordinary Ships possessed considerable experience and foresight, keenly aware of the future heights Fang Yu was destined to reach.

Consequently, they extended their goodwill towards him, one after another, establishing friendly connections.

It's often observed that with genuine advancement in power, individuals tend to become more amicable.

However, in the lower echelons, where dangers lurk and conflicts can ignite over minor disagreements, the atmosphere is far more volatile.

Naturally...

The foundation for such camaraderie hinges entirely on Fang Yu's demonstrated strength.

Catching wind of the unfolding scene, a contingent of Warship Level captains also turned their gazes over, a flicker of anticipation in their eyes.

Yet, none of these Warship Level captains dared to approach so boldly, claiming brotherhood with the Extraordinary Ship Captains.

Fang Yu might call me brother because he *is* Fang Yu, possessing astonishing achievements at the Extraordinary Ship level.

If you were to presume to call me brother, do you think I'd give you the time of day?

In response to the warm overtures from the Extraordinary Ship Captains, Fang Yu offered smiles in return, humbly accepting their friend requests and engaging in conversation.

He discussed matters pertaining to Nanhui City with them, gradually gaining a clearer picture of the local circumstances.

"In any case, my dear brother, the transportation missions for the Essence Feast are incredibly enticing, offering substantial returns. We are pinning our hopes on the faction level provided by the Essence Feast to facilitate our upgrade from Extraordinary Ship to Dragon Ship Level."

"If an opportunity presents itself, you absolutely must strive to attain a faction level within the Essence Feast. Even at your current Warship Level, if you can exhibit your prowess, you might qualify for the transportation tasks involving Extraordinary Essence."

Rude Yue gestured expansively while speaking, addressing Fang Yu as 'brother' with almost every sentence.

Despite his imposing physique, Rude Yue was remarkably astute and adept at forging connections with others.

At this moment, his sincerity and warmth were palpable as he spoke with Fang Yu.

"Understood. Thank you for the advice, Brother Yue!" Fang Yu replied.

A faint, wry smile touched Fang Yu's lips internally as he felt slightly overwhelmed by Rude Yue's effusive enthusiasm.

His gaze inadvertently drifted towards Kong Huaao, who stood a short distance away. Noticing Kong Huaao offer a slight nod, Fang Yu inferred that arrangements for subsequent matters had likely been made. He seized an opportune moment to politely excuse himself from the cordial gathering, intending to rejoin Kong Huaao.

Just then, Rude Yue clasped Fang Yu's arm and guided him to a more secluded spot. Lowering his voice, he addressed Fang Yu once more:

"Brother Fang Yu, meeting you today feels serendipitous. Please don't fault this older brother for being a bit overbearing."

"While my previous words carried a certain formality, I've brought you aside privately because there's something important I need to impress upon you."

Rude Yue glanced around to ensure their conversation remained unnoticed, then leaned in closer, his tone dropping significantly. "You must exercise extreme caution. Following your successive defeats of Zhang Wangyue and Jiang Lin, the Zhang Clan has harbored considerable animosity towards you."

"Their inaction thus far is largely due to your residence within the capital of Lanyun Sea Country; they've had limited chances to make a move against you."

"Now that you find yourself in Nanhui City, the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan is undoubtedly concocting some insidious schemes."

Upon hearing Rude Yue's solemn warning, Fang Yu's expression shifted perceptibly. He looked back at Rude Yue and inquired:

"Thank you for the timely reminder, brother. I have a question."

"By all means, ask away, brother!"

"How formidable is the Patriarch of the Zhang Clan?"

Rude Yue fixed Fang Yu with a profound gaze before responding with utmost seriousness:

"The Patriarch of the Zhang Clan is named Zhang Yi. He was likely among the fifth cohort to enter this realm, possessing considerable seniority and formidable cultivation."

"His current advancement with the Sea Ship has already reached the Dragon Ship Level!"

"Dragon Ship Level?"

"Indeed! Furthermore, Zhang Yi possesses certain unique abilities, which are..."
