"Buzz—"
The flagship's hull emitted bursts of low humming sounds, and the already ferocious armor plates flashed with energy halos. The propeller at the stern became visibly thicker, and the edges of the blades flashed with sharp cold light, emitting a heart-pounding metallic luster.
"The hull structure strength has increased by 20%! The propeller propulsion efficiency has been increased to the peak of level three!" Qin He's voice trembled with excitement.
But soon, his brows furrowed again.
"Captain, everything else is easy! The engine, armor, and weapon mounting platform have all been upgraded! But the radar... my modification skills currently only support a maximum of level four enhancements. The flagship's radar is already a top-of-the-line level four. Going any higher, I... I'm not capable enough!"
Qin He's face showed a trace of annoyance. It was a frustrating feeling to have such a treasure trove, but not be able to fully utilize it due to his own limitations.
"Bullshit! If you're not capable enough, then level up!" Lu Ye didn't even frown as he pulled out two golden scrolls from his storage space and tossed them directly to Qin He. "Are these two things enough for you to reach level five?"
The two scrolls emitted soft yet majestic energy fluctuations, and the surface of the scrolls was painted with intricate and mysterious golden patterns. It was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary items - they were two gold-level skill-enhancing scrolls!
Lu Ye's movements were as fast as lightning, because out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the coordinates of the provocateurs that he had temporarily marked on the regional map, and the light spots were dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Hurry up! The coordinates of those bastards I just marked in the regional channel are starting to blur!
If I don't fix the radar and let them get away, who am I going to hold responsible? If they dare to mess with me and not let them know why the flowers are so red, how am I going to survive on the sea in the future?
Qin He took the scroll, his hands shaking slightly.
Yellow...Golden Skill Scrolls?! Two of them?! This kind of thing, which only exists in legends, is even rarer than epic items because it can directly increase the player's life and profession level, ignoring bottlenecks!
The captain actually threw them out like cabbage! How many cards does he...how many more cards does he have left?!
He took a deep breath, without hesitation, and slapped the two golden scrolls on himself on the spot.
"Buzz!"
Dazzling golden light enveloped him, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.
In just a few seconds, the golden light dissipated, and Qin He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes gleaming with brilliance. His whole temperament underwent a subtle change, as if some shackles had been removed.
"Captain! Level five modification skill, done!" He spoke in a loud voice, filled with unprecedented confidence. "The flagship radar will be upgraded to its maximum level right now! The entire ship's structure can also be optimized once more!"
He returned to work, the data stream on the operating interface refreshed like a waterfall, and the upgraded light of the flagship was brighter than before.
A moment later, Qin He slammed the console.
"Done! Flagship's main radar system, level five! Detection range increased by 50%, anti-interference capability increased by 100%! The overall structural strength of the ship has been increased by another 15%! Weapon system... all shipborne M2 heavy machine guns have been upgraded to level three! The main turrets on both sides... have also been successfully upgraded to level four! The initial velocity and power of the shells have been greatly increased!"
Lu Ye grinned, revealing a row of white teeth, his eyes sharp as an eagle.
On the radar screen, several red dots that were originally blurred due to the interference of the strong magnetic field suddenly became extremely clear, and one could even roughly distinguish the model and size of the other party's ship.
"Great! Coordinates locked! Qin He, teleport me over! I'm going to pick up a package! By the way, give them some 'local specialties'!"
The space around the flagship twisted violently, and the next second, the huge ship disappeared from the spot with a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
The light faded away, and the flagship appeared in an unfamiliar sea.
The pungent smell of sulfur and the nauseating smell of blood hit my face.
What made Lu Ye and others even more dumbfounded was that in the wide bay before them, which was surrounded by rugged black reefs, there were countless supply boxes floating densely!
Bronze, silver, gold, and even a few epic treasure chests that glowed with dark purple light!
It's like a huge treasure warehouse that has been looted and then discarded at will!
The surrounding reefs are jagged and crisscrossed, forming a natural hidden harbor. Some of the reefs still have traces of battle and dark red bloodstains.
"What's going on?" Shen Hebei's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "Supply boxes are piled up here like they're free? Is this pie falling from the sky?"
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes and scanned this strange sea area.
Something is wrong.
Although the distribution of the reefs around here seems natural, there are obvious signs of artificial repair and reinforcement in several key locations, like deliberately arranged defensive fortifications.
And these supply boxes... there are too many of them, and they are too concentrated. It seems like they were deliberately collected by someone, but there was no time to transport them away.
A light bulb went off in his head.
This looks like a... breeding farm? Or perhaps a secret base of some kind, used for storing and sorting supplies?
Lu Ye was just thinking in his mind whether he should take advantage of the situation and grab a few of the best quality epic treasure chests before making any plans, when a deafening roar came to his ears!
“Boom——!”
The sound was not like the roar of an engine, but more like something heavy metal object falling heavily.
Lu Ye turned his head suddenly, and his sharp eyes swept towards the source of the sound like a falcon.
Behind a huge black reef not far away, there was a tattered small assault boat, which seemed to have been thrown from the sky. It hit the top of the reef at an angle, with the bow facing down and the stern raised high. A large part of it was dented and it was still emitting black smoke.
Damn, there really is an ambush!
And judging from the way it appeared, it didn't look like it was approaching on its own initiative, but rather like... it was falling out of control?
Before Lu Ye could think about it, several figures stumbled out from the broken ship. Without saying a word, several black gun muzzles were pointed at the deck of the flagship!
Lu Ye's pupils shrank slightly.
What those men were holding were actually old-fashioned double-barreled shotguns!
In this era, most players have already used various automatic weapons, and even energy weapons. Who would still use this antique stuff except for some special enthusiasts or poor people who have no other choice?
Moreover, it seemed that the other side had more than one ship. The outlines of several small boats could be vaguely seen in the shadow of the reef.
A double-barreled shotgun? Are these guys here to be funny, or do they have some special ammunition?
A gloomy-looking man with a hideous scar on his cheek jumped down from the wrecked boat, staggered a few steps to steady himself, and roared hoarsely:
"Lu Ye! I finally caught you! I'm Xue Cheng's eldest brother, He Zhicheng! Today is the day you die!"
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, scratched his ears, and looked bewildered: "Xue Cheng? Who is it? Brother, you recognized the wrong person, right? I have many enemies, but someone with this name... I really can't remember it for the moment."
Xue Cheng... This name sounds familiar, but I don't have a deep impression of it.
Could it be some blind minion that I killed by chance?
