Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 688 - 342: Back to the Sea Ship, Fang Yu’s Cultivation Plan

As Fang Yu made his way back to the sea ship, he noticed his crew members rushing through the city streets and alleys, earnestly searching for him.

Their frantic actions caused Fang Yu a moment of surprise, and he casually called out to Ma, who was hurrying past, "Ma, who are you all looking for?!"

Ma stopped in his tracks, startled, and upon seeing Fang Yu, his face lit up with relief. "Captain, are you alright?"

"I'm perfectly fine. What are you all doing, scurrying about at this hour?"

"Captain, what just occurred? Why has our experience been continuously increasing? Did you encounter some danger?"

Ma inquired with concern, "When we saw the experience points rising on our status panels, we immediately surmised that you might be in trouble, prompting us to search for you everywhere."

Hearing Ma's earnest words, a warm feeling spread through Fang Yu's chest. He quickly accessed their private chat channel.

As anticipated, the channel was flooded with private messages from the crew, all inquiring about the danger he might have faced.

He realized that in the heat of the previous confrontation, he hadn't had the chance to check his messages.

Now, having safely navigated the danger, Fang Yu shook his head. He decided against revealing the full details of the incident, not wanting to cause his crew unnecessary worry. With a slight smile, he remarked, "It was nothing significant, just a few insignificant pests with no foresight whom I've already dealt with completely."

The crew members collectively let out sighs of relief upon hearing Fang Yu's reassuring words.

Luo Kuan then grinned and chimed in, "Well, since the Captain is safe and sound, it's been quite a while since we've gone out for a late-night snack or perhaps a foot massage to find some... ahem..."

He was about to suggest finding some female companionship but abruptly remembered Fang Yu's lack of interest in such pursuits, so he quickly bit his tongue and remained silent.

"In any case, we brothers have been confined to the capsule training room for an extended period and haven't enjoyed a proper meal in ages," Luo Kuan continued.

"Captain, how about you treat us to a good meal today?" Luo Kuan asked with a broad grin.

"Treat you all?"

"Absolutely!"

Fang Yu readily agreed with a smile, prepared to accept their request.

However, a sudden thought of the peculiar Spiritualists, the Phantom Forest Twelve Elders, and their coveted Ocean Scripture immediately darkened his mood. He shook his head apologetically, "My friends, it's too late for that today. I have pressing matters to attend to tomorrow. Let's return to the sea ship for now. Once I've concluded my business, I'll definitely treat everyone to a feast!"

He recalled that Seven Sisters, one of the Phantom Forest Twelve Elders, had already met her demise at his hands. The remaining eleven were undoubtedly filled with intense hatred towards him.

In the darkness of the night, if the crew were to venture out for their late-night snack, the Phantom Forest Twelve Elders might seize the opportunity. They could potentially use that special Ocean Scripture to isolate and drag each crew member into an illusion, eliminating them one by one.

To avert the perilous risk of his crew being massacred, Fang Yu resolved to decline their request for a night out, despite their obvious disappointment.

"Understood, Captain. Since you have urgent matters tomorrow, we'll postpone our outing until another day."

A few of the crew members, who had joined Fang Yu from the very inception of building their stronghold, noticed the shift in his demeanor. They seemed to grasp the underlying reasons and didn't press the issue further. They promptly gathered their teammates, preparing to head back to the sea ship together.

...

Upon their return to the sea ship, Fang Yu summoned Ma and Wang Qing. He sternly instructed them to maintain a vigilant watch throughout the night.

Ma, a Transcendent of the Brain Domain, possessed exceptional control over his Spiritual Power and exhibited remarkable resistance against illusions.

As for Wang Qing, a crew member blessed with the Far-sighted Talent, his abilities had significantly advanced with his increased level. Wang Qing was no longer restricted to a single manifestation of his Far-sighted Extraordinary Ability.

He had, by this time, mastered several offensive and perceptive Extraordinary Abilities.

On one occasion, while at sea, he unleashed devastating beams from his eyes, instantly piercing through multiple enemy soldiers.

Furthermore, he possessed Extraordinary Abilities capable of piercing through illusions.

With one possessing potent illusion resistance and the other capable of seeing through any facade, even if the Phantom Forest Twelve Elders were to reappear, they would be incapable of silently luring the sea ship into an illusory trap.

This was the inherent strength of the Sea Ship System.

Within the Sea Ship System, crew members individually hone their unique abilities, collectively compensating for each other's shortcomings. The presence of every crew member allows the sea ship to gain a new capability, equipping it to handle a vast array of situations.

With Ma and Wang Qing assigned to guard duty, Fang Yu could safely retreat to the Meditation Room within the sea ship's confines to meticulously review the spoils and insights gained from the recent battle.

In that engagement, he had vanquished a considerable number of foes.

However, the majority of those he defeated were merely ordinary subordinates and low-level combatants. The primary reason they managed to put Fang Yu in such a precarious position was their strategic advantage in initiative and overwhelming numerical superiority.

Even if Fang Yu were out in the open while his enemies lurked in the shadows, these adversaries would likely not gain the upper hand against him unless experts at the Dragon Ship Level intervened.

Observing the accumulated experience displayed on his status panel, Fang Yu instinctively ran a hand through his hair.

Experience: Level 48 (8,700,000/5,000,000)

The experience points he possessed were more than sufficient to advance to Level 49.

However, he anticipated hitting a bottleneck upon reaching Level 49.

After all, his sea ship's transformation and mutation had yet to even commence the second stage, remaining a considerable distance from its completion.

Even with abundant experience, breaking through the Level 50 threshold to achieve Extraordinary Ship status seemed improbable.

Faced with this predicament, Fang Yu couldn't help but sigh.

He resolved to first upgrade to Level 49, and regarding Level 50, he would explore potential advantages offered by the Essence Feast Company tomorrow.

With this thought, Fang Yu ceased his contemplation and promptly retrieved his Dice, tossing it skyward.

"Panel, initiate upgrade!"

"Congratulations to Captain [Fang Yu] for ascending to Level 49 and receiving 1 Lord Point."
