Lu Ye ignored it and just looked up at the dark rolling thunderclouds, with a cold arc on the corner of his mouth.
He walked slowly to the control console on the side of the hull and pressed a start button that was glowing with a faint blue light among a row of complicated buttons.
"Buzz—"
A slight rumbling sound came from deep within the hull. In the reserved grooves on the flagship deck and both sides of the ship, devices covered with special crystal plates slowly rose up, flashing with energy light as if breathing.
"Don't worry, Captain Mo Yang. I can take care of my ship myself."
Lu Ye's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.
Energy storage system, start.
Next, let me see whether your so-called "divine power" is more powerful or my technology is better.
Mo Yang looked at the strange devices rising from the hull, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart, but he immediately suppressed this uneasiness.
It's just a last-ditch effort! The thunderstorm at sea is the might of heaven!
How can human power compete with this?! He is courting his own death!
Wait till the flagship is chopped to pieces, and then my men will be able to come and clean up the mess!
He suppressed his fear and severe pain, quietly activated the hidden communication function of the survival bracelet on his wrist, and sent out the current coordinates using an encrypted signal.
"A Shui! Brothers! Coordinates sent! Once the thunderstorm destroys this wrecked ship, come over and grab the supplies! Remember, don't leave a single cent for those government bastards!"
At the same time, several miles away from Lu Ye's flagship, on the small wooden boat carrying the sea priest, a man with a sinister face and also wearing a tattered cloak was sending signals to several pirate ships that were looming around him through a special bone whistle.
He is Mo Yang's deputy, a second-level "Deep Sea Wizard".
"Captains, Boss Mo has already taken action, and the coordinates of the target flagship have been shared! The supplies on that ship are enough for all of us to eat for several years! As soon as the thunderstorm succeeds, we will rush in, first come, first served!"
The noise in the public channel was like boiling oil poured on water, exploding into a pot.
The muscular man's avatar with the character "Iron Fist, Invincible and Strong" flashed again, and he spoke arrogantly and domineeringly.
"A bunch of poor bastards, are you worthy enough to get your hands on Lu Ye's supplies? I just received inside information that Lu Ye's grandson is braving a thunderstorm at coordinates (XXX, YYY)! Now, I have a monopoly on these coordinates! If you want them, exchange them for a golden skill scroll! One scroll for one precise coordinate!"
This "strength" is actually a shrewd calculation.
Taking advantage of others' misfortune and still wanting to get something for nothing?
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and sneered in his heart.
These coordinates were most likely leaked by Mo Yang or his cronies, but now they have become Gangqiang's exclusive business.
Sure enough, some people in the channel were angry.
"Gangqiang, you bastard! These coordinates are clearly shared by everyone, why are you selling them for money?"
"Exactly! Isn't the way you eat so ugly? Taking advantage of someone's misfortune, what kind of hero are you?"
After the avatar of "Iron Fist Invincible and Strong", a string of bloody battle axe emoticons appeared with a grim tone.
"Fuck! I'm a level 4 'Berserker' wearing a B-rank enhanced suit. Who wouldn't agree? If you don't, tell me your coordinates. I'll pay you a 'friendly visit' right now! As for you bunch of losers, if you have scrolls, trade them. If you don't have any, get out of my way!"
He revealed his level and equipment without any reservation, and the naked threat made the channel instantly quiet down.
Most of those players who are shouting are opportunists. If they were asked to go head-to-head with a level 4 Berserker, they wouldn't dare to do it even if they had ten times the courage.
Level 4 Berserker...interesting.
I just don’t know if the brain is as developed as muscles.
Lu Ye thought to himself that this "strength" was indeed a tough nut to crack, but it was not without weaknesses.
At this moment, Mo Yang, who was hanging high on the main mast, looked ashen and his whole body was shaking like a leaf in the wind.
He watched as Lu Ye calmly took out a huge lightning rod from the storage space. It was about two meters long, shining with metallic luster, and covered with intricate patterns on the top!
"You...you...Lu Ye! You are a lunatic!"
Mo Yang's voice was sharp and distorted due to extreme fear, and it sounded like crying.
"What are you trying to do?! Using this thing to attract lightning? Do you want to drag me down with you?! Put me down! I don't want to die!"
Mo Yang's mind was in a mess, and his instinct for survival made him roar desperately.
Lu Ye scratched his ears and glanced at him with disgust.
"To die with an idiot like you? Ha, I'm not that bored."
His tone was flat, as if he was talking about the nice weather today.
"I just saw that this thunderstorm has plenty of energy, so I planned to charge my ship."
Charging with thunderstorms?!
Mo Yang's eyes almost popped out. He would rather believe that a sow could climb a tree than believe Lu Ye's nonsense.
This is clearly seeking death!
Like a fish thrown ashore, he twisted his body frantically, trying to break free from the thick ropes around his wrists and ankles.
"Hey, Brother Lu, look at him like that." Xiong Ren laughed as he watched from the side. He scratched the back of his head with his big hand like a palm-leaf fan and complained in a muffled voice.
"It's twisting like a maggot. It's disgusting."
When Mo Yang heard this, he felt as if he had been greatly insulted. He suddenly raised his head, staring at Lu Ye with bloodshot eyes, and his voice was as resentful as a ghost.
"Lu Ye! Just wait! I, Mo Yang, swear! Today's humiliation will be returned a hundredfold in the future! Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go! And you too! You dogs who aided and abetted the evil, all of you must die!"
When I get out of this predicament, I will be the first to settle accounts with you!
He was filled with hatred, but forgot that he was now a fish on the chopping board.
“So much nonsense.” Lu Ye curled his lips, not caring at all about Mo Yang’s incompetent rage, and turned to give instructions to Xiong Ren.
"Xiong Ren, move all the 'Crystal Core Energy Storage Units' on the ship to the deck, leaving no one behind!"
"Okay, Brother Lu!"
Xiong Ren responded and immediately called his men to action.
The flagship's warehouse was opened, and metal boxes that were more than half a person's height and flashed with a faint blue light were carried out one after another.
Because there were so many energy storage units, Su Baiyue, who had just been upgraded and looked even more heroic in his dashing combat uniform, also took the initiative to come over to help with command and dispatch.
For a moment, the entire flagship deck was filled with these heavy "power banks".
The deck was almost full, and the faint blue light merged into one piece under the dim sky, which was a spectacular sight.
Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction, walked to the huge lightning rod, held the base of the lightning rod with both hands, and inserted it into a special interface reserved in the center of the deck.
Then, he took out a palm-sized "energy core" covered with precise circuits from his waist, and connected it to the lightning rod and the energy storage units spread across the deck.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the rolling and roaring thing.
"Come on! Let me see, is your so-called 'divine power' more powerful, or is my technology more impressive!"
