"It's the one from before... the one whose skill was 'orator', who wanted to incite everyone to besiege our flagship on the regional channel, and was later bribed by you with food and basic supplies." Shen Shu, who had been silent next to him, spoke in a cold voice at the right time, clearing up Lu Ye's confusion.
When he reminded him of this, Lu Ye immediately imagined a guy who was sharp-tongued but spineless.
"Oh! I remember now!" Lu Ye slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing, "It's that king of big talk, but a few boxes of instant noodles made him bow down to his wits! What, he's dead? Looking for revenge on me? What's my business whether he lives or dies?"
Lu Ye's tone was full of disdain. If that guy hadn't been quick to adapt to the situation, he would have been blown to pieces along with his boat.
When He Zhicheng heard Lu Ye's nonchalant tone, his already gloomy face instantly turned red, the anger in his eyes almost burst out, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
"If it weren't for you! How could my brother have died in the mouth of a sea beast! He believed your lies and thought he could gain benefits by following you, but what happened? In the end, even his body couldn't be found!"
He pointed at the strange rocky bay and said with deep hatred, "Here! This is the graveyard I specially prepared for you, Lu Ye!"
He Zhicheng's face was ferocious, his mouth was wide open, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, his smile was twisted and cruel.
"Do you like these reefs? It's all thanks to you. One of my brothers was kind enough to open a supply box, and surprisingly, he found this 'gift'! He was waiting for you to fall into his trap!"
Uncover the terrain by opening the box?
Lu Ye's heart moved, he raised his wrist, activated the scanning function of the survival bracelet, and aimed it at the rugged black reefs.
A line of small words appeared on the retina: [Man-made obstacles, natural disasters].
Lu Ye couldn't help but curse under his breath, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "How can this kind of thing be found in the box of this crappy game? A level one natural disaster? That sounds really unlucky!"
In the past, I only knew that boxes could reveal supplies, blueprints, skills, and even living creatures. I never thought that even this kind of large-scale, environmental "disaster" could be revealed!
If a volcano erupts or a tsunami happens next to your ship, wouldn't it be the end of you?
He turned his head and looked at Qin He: "Qin He, have you ever seen this kind of 'terrain killer' that came out of a box before?"
Qin He pushed his glasses and his face turned pale. He was obviously frightened by the strange scene and the word "natural disaster". He swallowed and his voice was a little dry.
"Ship... Captain, there was a particularly unlucky guy in our team before. He accidentally unleashed a small lightning bolt while opening a bronze chest, which directly struck his own shabby ship... But this kind of artificial reef, with the attribute of a 'natural disaster', I... I've never heard of it before! It's so weird!"
Hearing this, Lu Ye touched his chin thoughtfully.
The unlucky guy got a lightning bolt... I've never found anything in my chests that had a direct negative effect on me. Those "Unstable Earthen Surprises," while scary in their names, have controllable effects and are external.
He suddenly remembered the description of the "Fishing Master" title given by the system: The probability of picking up random supply boxes while sailing at sea is +10%.
At first I thought it was just a matter of increasing the quantity or increasing the chance of getting rare items.
But now it seems that this is not just a matter of luck!
From Qin He's reaction, to the comparison of the results of Shen Hebei's unboxing, to the fact that I almost never got any "punishment" items...
A bold idea took shape in Lu Ye's mind.
This "fishing master" probably not only increases the probability of "good things", but is more like a kind of... passive screening that seeks benefits and avoids harm!
It can even optimize the types of supplies provided based on my subconscious needs!
So, when I'm short of building materials, I can easily find high-level alloys and composite armor; when I need to improve my combat power, blueprints and weapon accessories will appear! This is not just a "fishing master", this is simply a "wish-fulfilling box"!
After figuring this out, Lu Ye was no longer panicked, but instead felt a little more playful.
He looked at the ferocious-looking He Zhicheng leisurely, with a playful smile on his lips.
"Scarface, you've gone to all this trouble to leave so many boxes here. Are you planning on opening an open-air museum and waiting for me to come and cut the ribbon and fire the fireworks? Or are you hoping these broken rocks can trap me?"
He Zhicheng let out a sinister laugh that sounded like the cry of a night owl, making people's hair stand on end.
"Lu Ye, stop playing dumb with me! Do you think I don't know? You must have some special passive skill that allows you to open boxes and get tons of goodies that others only dream of! That idiot Xue Cheng was blinded by your little favors, and that's why he ended up like this!"
His eyes greedily swept over the densely packed supply boxes in the bay, especially the epic treasure chests that were flashing with dark purple light, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously.
"Don't even think about keeping any of the boxes here!" He Zhicheng suddenly raised his voice and pointed the double-barreled shotgun in his hand at Lu Ye's forehead.
"Now, immediately, right now! Open all the supply boxes in this bay! And hand over everything inside untouched! I'm in a good mood today, so maybe... I can leave you with an intact body!"
The teasing expression on Lu Ye's face became even more intense, and with a hint of pity, he spoke slowly:
"Scarface, you went through all this trouble, all those hidden reefs and ambushes, just to get me to open a few boxes for you? Aren't you afraid...if I really start, you and these wrecked boats of yours will be the end of you today?"
I'm not called the "Wish Granter" for nothing. What if they unleash some kind of weapon of mass destruction, or even attract a few sea kings? Would your tiny body be enough to handle it?
The scars on He Zhicheng's face were twisted hideously, and he let out a hoarse and ugly laugh as if he had heard some huge joke.
"Hahaha! Lu Ye, who are you trying to scare? Do you think I'm that idiot Xue Cheng? Why would I come to you without some preparation?"
He suddenly raised his hand and pointed around.
Only then did Lu Ye notice that at some point, a thin layer of strange white mist with a slightly sweet and fishy smell had risen from the sea surface around the flagship.
The fog was not thick, but it lingered stubbornly, isolating their area from the outside world.
"This 'bewitching fog' has been spreading since you entered this bay." He Zhicheng grinned, revealing his white teeth, and his smile was full of malice.
