Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Searching for Treasure (Part 3)
Experience reward: 3000→9000
Money reward: 5000→15,000 Copper Coins
Various items X3
Current experience: 10800/13000
Money remaining: 90,000 Copper Coins
Fortunately, this time after killing a Transcendent life form, the reward was average, but the Dice made up for it.
The initial reward of 3000 points doubled, surprisingly reaching the level of imminent leveling up.
Fang Yu couldn’t help but lament again, Level 10 is indeed a threshold, after Level 10, without grinding the faction level, you’ll just be working hard for nothing.
Working tirelessly, yet not necessarily able to level up again.
However, this time after setting out to sea, after killing the Transcendent life form, and rolling the Dice once, he is about to upgrade to Level 11.
The remaining experience, Fang Yu plans to see how much he can gain during the treasure excavation.
...
The Salted Fish sails onward.
In just less than a day, the tired crew members woke up one after another.
The group clearly underestimated the quality of sleep after their physical qualities improved.
Under normal circumstances, with such exhaustion, it would take indeed several days to recover.
But as the Energy Level gradually becomes non-human, the quality of sleep also becomes astonishingly strong, the speed at which they regain energy is several times that of ordinary people.
Waking up feeling refreshed, everyone felt revitalized.
Seeing this, Fang Yu glanced at the lively Luu Yuan and Du Ran and others, these guys were worn out yesterday, yet they are so excited this morning?
It seems what the forum said is true, the stamina of sailors also increases with their Energy Level.
Early on, his Energy Level was still weak, and the stamina to use Extraordinary Abilities was limited.
In the later stages, not to mention Gatling guns, even if he converts the body into endless firepower, the energy load could still be sustained.
"Captain, where are we now? We haven’t missed the treasure hunting time, have we?"
Luu Yuan’s voice came from beside, his gaze looking forward with curiosity, he thought he had slept for a whole day and night, and Fang Yu and others might have already dug up the treasure.
"You didn’t miss it, you woke up just in time!"
Fang Yu casually picked up a treasure map, looked up and down at the coordinates on the treasure map.
No mistake, it’s right here, the location of the treasure should be within a sea mile from here.
At this moment, the position of everyone sailing is actually slightly closer to the West Qinghai Sea Region, and Fang Yu’s treasure map shows the position closer to the West Qinghai Sea Region.
Legend has it that the seawater in the West Qinghai Sea Region has stronger and more violent energy, and the corresponding Transcendent creatures are also even stronger.
It is a popular choice for many captains after leaving the newbie village.
However, after listening to Lin Kemian, Fang Yu decisively stayed clear from the West Qinghai Sea Region.
It’s such a mess there now, who would dare take it as an exploration site after the newbie village, you won’t even know how you died.
Good thing the treasure map position hasn’t completely entered the West Qinghai Sea Region, still within the Southern Island Sea Region area, otherwise Fang Yu would have to consider whether to dig up the treasure or not.
"Eh?"
At this moment, Fang Yu and Luu Yuan both let out a sudden exclamation, exchanged glances, and spoke in unison:
"There’s seaweed underwater!"
"Hmm?"
Luu Yuan suddenly paused, looked at Fang Yu with a strange expression, bewildered: "Captain, how do you know? You don’t have water-based Extraordinary Ability, how did you sense the seaweed below?"
Fang Yu glanced at Luu Yuan, ignoring him, instead extended his senses down through the seawater.
If it were just ordinary seaweed, Fang Yu and Luu Yuan wouldn’t be so surprised.
But now the seaweed underwater is dangerous, its leaves like blades, sharp and dangerous, if someone wanders down, might instantly get cut, wrapped around, becoming the seaweed’s nutrients.
"What do you think?"
Fang Yu and Luu Yuan exchanged glances, both knowing that the position where a treasure chest appears is often a place of concentrated energy, such places often have formidable seaweed and underwater currents.
"Let’s go!"
Fang Yu said to Luu Yuan: "Let’s go check underwater, there’s a shield, don’t worry."
"Uh... okay!"
Luu Yuan paused, feeling odd.
Isn’t going underwater meant for those with water-based extraordinary abilities to do? Why are you sticking your nose in, Captain?
Nonetheless, Luu Yuan assumed Fang Yu just wanted to see what the treasure chest looked like, and didn’t say any more.
He summoned his underwater combat suit from the panel and put it on.
He looked like a pitch-black mermaid, but once activated, the surface would gain a slippery yet tough membrane, enhancing his speed and defense underwater.
This rendition isn’t enchanted, if it were, the suit would transform into various weapons under the influence of Extraordinary Abilities.
In the navy’s underwater combat forces, the suits are maximized, akin to a pack of saber-toothed sharks, with formidable offensive capabilities.
They are a group no captain wants to encounter.
Currently, the Salted Fish’s underwater combat team has only two core members, though there are 4 crew members with ocean talent who can serve as underwater combat troops.
Seeing Luu Yuan ready, Fang Yu nodded slightly without summoning his sniper rifle, just carrying a long saber, then followed Luu Yuan.
The two leapt into the ocean.
Luu Yuan spotted a treasure chest glimmering above ahead, filled with joy, rushed to open the way for Fang Yu.
But the next moment, Fang Yu sped forward, like a shark, darting toward the chest.
The exhibited speed exceeded that of Luu Yuan, a water-based Transcendent.
Luu Yuan: ???
Wait, who’s the water-based talent + Transcendent here?
Can’t be surpassed by the captain, feeling competitive, Luu Yuan accelerated, chasing after Fang Yu.
The two sped like fish, toward the underwater chest.
As they dove deeper, Luu Yuan grew more anxious.
Wait, the pressure is incredibly intense now, how is the captain unaffected?
Ocean World’s seawater holds formidable energy.
The pressure at the same depth as Blue Star is a different beast.
Even a Transcendent would feel strong pressure diving this deep.
"Hmm?"
A seaweed sprang toward Fang Yu, treacherously fast.
Cutting on contact, it would cause massive damage.
Suddenly, Luu Yuan felt Fang Yu release a force.
In a flash, a familiar pressure wall formed, blocking the seaweed.
Fang Yu swiftly sliced the seaweed in half.
Eying the captain’s power, Luu Yuan slapped his forehead, bewildered.
Damn, isn’t this the shark’s ability?!
