Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls Chapter 710 - 350: Bountiful Gains, The Trapped Ones (Part 2)

[Speed.Speed Decline]
This peculiar Ocean Scripture exerts its influence upon adversaries, possessing the capability to diminish the velocity of enemy vessels and concurrently retard the operational speed of their energy levels.
Fang Yu observed this Ocean Scripture with a degree of astonishment.
"Zhang Yi, what is the meaning behind this?"
Be it the Alchemy Divine Artifact or the speed-reducing Ocean Scripture, both presented potential hindrances to Fang Yu, impeding his ability to wield his powers without constraint.
Yet, the question lingered: why did he refrain from employing these two treasured items?
Upon deeper contemplation, Fang Yu surmised Zhang Yi’s underlying apprehensions.
It seemed this Patriarch of the Zhang Family harbored reservations in his strategic decisions, desiring to preserve his true capabilities in secrecy.
On one hand, cognizant of my inherent resurrection capabilities, his scheme involves utilizing these treasures post-revival to impede my offensive momentum.
Furthermore, Zhang Yi might also be maintaining a cautious stance against a potential maneuver from Yuanqi.
Fang Yu was hardly naive; though the specifics of the rebirth following the detonation had eluded him, he could infer that Yuanqi might have administered Water Poison into Zhang Yi’s system, thereby exerting control over him for the purpose of attacking Fang Yu.
"Wait a moment..."
Fang Yu’s brow suddenly furrowed, the image of Yuanqi flashing vividly in his mind.
"He exhibited a pronounced interest in my abilities. The Evil Alchemist was once capable of stripping others of their abilities and appropriating them. It appears Yuanqi possesses a similar faculty."
"It seems Yuanqi has long harbored designs upon me. Could it be that the spiritualists who assailed me in Nanhui City were acting under Yuanqi’s direct orders?"
"But that seems improbable…"
"Yuanqi practices the path of Alchemy, and spiritualists have no direct connection to the Alchemy lineage. Logically, he should not possess the means to command potent spiritualists for an assault."
"There must be external factors at play, influencing these circumstances."
Nevertheless, irrespective of the specific situation, Fang Yu found himself imbued with a subtle sense of vigilance at this juncture.
With Yuanqi lurking discreetly in the shadows, Fang Yu’s inner peace remained elusive.
The pressing urgency within him had not abated; he recognized the imperative to swiftly augment his capabilities, for only then could he effectively counter Yuanqi’s clandestine observation.
"Yuanqi and Fisherman both appear to be formidable figures at the Sky Dome Ship level, which aligns with Blue Star Captain’s 80th level. However, I perceive Yuanqi to be less potent than Fisherman, suggesting Yuanqi is at a stage prior to level 85, while Fisherman has surpassed level 85, poised on the cusp of the peak."
Fang Yu mused internally, a slight shake of his head accompanying his thoughts.
First Yuanqi, then Fisherman, compounded by the ongoing conflict within the Lanyun Sea Country – truly a period of profound upheaval.
The most vexing aspect, however, is that these formidable individuals, more or less, share a tangential link with Fang Yu, a fact that irks him considerably.
"Enough dwelling on it, self-improvement takes precedence. All other matters must be addressed sequentially."
Fang Yu resolved internally. Without uttering another word, he discreetly cast a dice.
"The reward for slaying Zhang Yi, doubled!"
Fang Yu whispered, observing the dice as it spun ceaselessly in the void, ultimately settling upon a numeral: 3.
"A mere 3?"
Experience +4 million → 12 million
Gold Coin +20k → 60k Gold Coin
Divine Essence +272kg → 816kg
Essence of Flesh and Blood +400kg → 1200kg
Extraordinary Essence +340kg → 1020kg
A wave of regret and disappointment washed over Fang Yu.
Under different circumstances, obtaining a roll of 3 would have been satisfactory.
But given the substantial bounty acquired this time, a mere tripling of the reward left him feeling distinctly underwhelmed.
Nevertheless, at this precise moment, Fang Yu’s accumulated experience and resources were more than sufficient to elevate his level to 50.
A thrill coursed through Fang Yu, bringing with it considerable satisfaction.
Upon achieving level 50, his vessel would not only achieve an upgrade to the Extraordinary Ship tier but also witness the awakening of his innate talents to their second phase, accompanied by a remarkably significant enhancement.
This heralded the arrival of the Extraordinary Ability.
At level 50, the capacity to utilize Advanced Radiant Star Stones to elevate his Extraordinary Ability to the Advanced Extraordinary Ability tier would become attainable.
Previously, Fang Yu had acquired three Advanced Radiant Star Stones, which were now perfectly suited for the enhancement of his Extraordinary Ability.
Fang Yu’s anticipation mounted, yet the recent opportunities for casting had been depleted. At this juncture, Fang Yu’s immediate priority was to advance the mutation and flesh transformation of his vessel into its second phase.
With this objective in mind, Fang Yu subtly adjusted his aura and energy level fluctuations, gently attuning his presence to a state of profound calmness. Subsequently, without a word, he produced the Essence of Flesh and Blood and Extraordinary Essence, immersing himself in a state of cultivation.
...
The ship navigated its course towards Nanhui City, yet Fang Yu and his companions remained oblivious to the fact that the news of Zhang Yi’s demise had already reverberated throughout the forum, leaving the Blue Star Captains in a state of collective astonishment.
"Zhang Yi has truly perished?"
"But Zhang Yi was the venerated patriarch of the Zhang Clan! A seasoned powerhouse of a generation, his might had reached the Dragon Ship level. Who could have foreseen such a formidable individual meeting such a sudden end?"
"It's completely accurate that when Zhang Yi journeyed to Nanhui City with the intention of killing Fang Yu, several ship captains from the Zhang Clan had already received directives to assemble," a person purported to be an insider declared seriously on the forum. "However, Fang Yu's assault unfolded with such swiftness that they were unable to complete their mobilization. It was only later, upon the arrival of the Blue Star Captain, that he witnessed Fang Yu summoning the Gate of Hell and slaying Zhang Yi." Upon hearing this account, some netizens were inclined to believe it, while others dismissed the speaker as merely seeking to capture attention. "How could Fang Yu, who is merely at the Warship Level, possibly eliminate someone like Zhang Yi? Utter fabrication!" "Aren't you worried that Zhang Yi might see this and make you his target?" But precisely at that moment, the official account for the combat power rankings abruptly published a post, stating with considerable gravity, "Esteemed members of the public, the events described are entirely factual. We have acquired recordings from numerous eyewitnesses; please feel free to examine them for yourselves."
