Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Water Pressure Control, Water Ability (Part 2)
The port where Fang Yu and the others arrived, Qiyun Port, belongs to the Dorong Federation Sea Country.
The Dorong Federation Sea Country is a federal nation formed by a union of Alien races and normal races, with territories concentrated mainly in three sea regions.
The West Qinghai Sea Region is predominantly inhabited by Alien races, accounting for about 70%, located on the left side of the Dorong Federation.
The central core sea area is the main administrative region of the Dorong Federation.
The sea region where Fang Yu arrived is called the Southern Island Sea Region, with a large proportion of islands, located beneath the Dorong Federation.
The three sea regions, perfectly aligned in three directions, form the Dorong Federation.
Currently, the West Qinghai Sea Region adjacent to the Southern Island Sea Region has launched a coup by the Alien Race, intending to split the Federation?
This is no trivial matter. Once the war breaks out, the flames of war are likely to spread to Qiyun Port.
Fang Yu was slightly surprised, recalling the recent events where the southern army warlord had been purchasing arms on a large scale.
Could these two warlords... be the same warlord?
If so... then that would be interesting.
Lin Kemian didn’t know what Fang Yu was thinking. He laughed and pulled out a bank draft from his chest pocket, handing it to Fang Yu: "Thank you Captain Fang Yu for today’s rescue. Here’s the reward I promised you. I added an extra million on top of the initial promise, making it three thousand Silver Coins, here!"
Copper Coins equals 1 Silver Coin.
Silver Coins equate to three million Copper Coins.
Indeed, this is a million more than Lin Kemian originally promised.
Lin Kemian, being a businessman in the West Qinghai Sea Region, is accustomed to using Silver Coins as a unit of price, hence he is giving Fang Yu three thousand Silver Coins.
With an extra thousand Silver Coins, Fang Yu was naturally happy inside. However, he did not rush to accept the draft from Lin Kemian and instead smiled and said, "No hurry, Mr. Lin, you settle in on the ship first, just tell my crew what you want to eat, they’ll prepare it for you."
"As for the draft, you can give it to me the day before the ship docks at the port!"
Fang Yu’s smile was sincere and natural, resembling a young man who is indifferent about money.
Lin Kemian was taken aback and immediately gave him a thumbs up: "Captain Fang Yu, to achieve such accomplishments at a young age, surely has an extraordinary temperament, being able to view money indifferently as something external, this temperament is enough for me to learn from."
"Ahem... mutual learning, mutual learning..."
Fang Yu blushed.
Beside them, Luo Kuan glanced over with a look of disbelief.
What’s the deal?
I heard someone assess the captain as "viewing money as something external"?
This boss is muddled... How could he be so duped by the captain’s nonsense...
If the captain really "viewed money as something external", I’ll write my name Luo Kuan in reverse for you to see!
At this moment, Fang Yu seemed to sense a strange gaze coming from the side, and turned his head.
He saw Luo Kuan with a knowing but silent expression, looking at him with mischievous eyes.
Seeing Luo Kuan’s exasperating look, Fang Yu laughed in anger.
Good old Luo Kuan, always appearing loyal, must have such rebellious thoughts that could pierce through the sky, right?!
"Luo Kuan, if you have nothing to do, why don’t you mop the deck? Stop idly drifting in front of me, it’s annoying!"
Fang Yu sneered, with a wave of his hand, he pointed to the mop not far away and addressed Luo Kuan.
Luo Kuan: ???
I didn’t say anything!
Luo Kuan felt exhausted.
Forget it, forget it, the captain is angry with embarrassment~~
Can’t afford to provoke, can’t afford to provoke, I’m out!
Luo Kuan muttered under his breath, then dashed away in a hurry, afraid that Fang Yu would assign him more tasks.
...
This time, after completing the rescue mission, the Salted Fish didn’t rush back to Qiyun Port. Instead, it proceeded to one of the treasure map locations from Fang Yu to prepare to dig for treasures within the map.
As for Fang Yu himself, he returned to the captain’s room to review the spoils from this adventure.
"Killed a Transcendent Life, crew reward: Experience +2000, Money +5000 Copper Coins, Energy Potion +3."
"Captain personal reward: Experience +1000, Sea Ship Repair Scroll +2, Sea Ship Acceleration Scroll +1, Water Pressure Wall Release Scroll +2 (usage restricted to sea water)."
Other than these, there were some experience rewards from the sailors supporting each other through dangerous waters.
For instance, the sea ship withstanding a lightning strike would reward 20 experience points.
Luu Yuan and other Water Ability Transcendents resisting a tidal wave would reward 10 experience points.
The teamwork between the sailors, including combo skills between Luo Kuan and Ma, also added experience points.
Though not much, overall it added up to about 1000 points.
Overall, the reward for killing the Transcendent Life wasn’t particularly abundant, but not meager either. As for the ocean rescue mission, Fang Yu hadn’t yet received Lin Kemian’s money, and the crew hadn’t returned to Qiyun Port to settle the mission, so it’s uncertain how much experience reward can be gained.
However, the greatest bounty from killing the marine Transcendent Life wasn’t the experience, money, or items, but rather this scroll in hand...
Fang Yu discreetly unfolded the scroll, revealing within it a shimmering figure of a shark, quietly swimming within the scroll, followed by a strand of information appearing on Fang Yu’s panel.
[Water Pressure Control]
Attribute: Extraordinary Ability, Water Ability, No learning requirements.
Restriction: Cannot be upgraded through Lord Points, usable only in underwater environments.
Ability: Enhances underwater mobility, increases underwater adaptability (such as breath extension, water pressure resistance), can compress water pressure for defense and attack, energy level fixed at: 5X captain’s energy level.
This is a fixed Extraordinary Ability. Once learned, it cannot be upgraded using Lord Points.
Many captains, in order to avoid wasting Lord Points, learn similar abilities to enhance their adaptability in various environments.
Fang Yu didn’t hesitate and directly activated the scroll in his hand (the scroll is acquired through a special path, cannot be cast for doubling).
The eerie, dark green light glowed once more; the shark image within moved quietly, suddenly swimming towards Fang Yu’s body.
"Szz..."
A muffled sound; Fang Yu felt a slight change within him. His lungs quietly transformed during this transcendental learning.
Becoming more resilient, perfected, rational.
Aligning more closely with the structure of amphibians, yet far superior to normal amphibians.
After absorbing the Extraordinary Ability, the scroll in Fang Yu’s hand ignited with green flames.
Soon after, it was completely consumed.
"Congratulations Captain Fang Yu, on successfully learning [Water Pressure Control]..."
Listening to the voice in his mind, Fang Yu smiled.
The underwater arena had always been Fang Yu’s weakness.
Now with [Water Pressure Control] added to the panel, although it wasn’t a particularly powerful Water Ability, it didn’t require significant investment of Lord Points from Fang Yu.
Having another Water Ability in this world, where 90% is oceanic, is indeed necessary.
Anything involving underwater combat in the future would no longer mean standing on the ship, helplessly staring.
He has finally become a burly man who can engage in hand-to-hand combat underwater...
Ahem...
Now that Water Pressure Control is mastered, Fang Yu expertly pulled out a dice, tossing it onto the table.
The dice rolled, soon settling on a number:
3!
