Meng Yang was overwhelmed by Lu Ye's determination to fight to the end, and his face was full of embarrassment and confusion.
"Boss Lu, you... you are determined to die!"
He sighed deeply, like a deflated ball. "Oh, forget it! I've finally figured out you're a natural adventurer! I can give you the coordinates, but let me be frank: none of us from Black Sails will go with you! We just went through a catastrophe and are deeply wounded. We can't afford any more!"
This guy is like a hot potato, you can't get rid of him once you get involved, but if he really does something famous...
Meng Yang also had mixed feelings.
He gritted his teeth and added, "However, if you really want to go, we at Black Sails can provide some weaponry support. After all, you saved all of our lives this time."
"This is a great move!" Lu Ye slapped his thigh and his face immediately lit up with joy.
"Open! The more weapons and equipment, the better! Also, besides those unused skill scrolls that can be converted into supplies for me, I have one more thing to trouble you with."
"What's up?"
"I need help," Lu Ye pointed at the sea. "When we fought that Kraken before, a lot of good stuff fell into the sea. There are also some supply boxes that we haven't opened yet. I can't fish them all out by myself."
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, not to mention that those are real resources!
The corner of Meng Yang's mouth twitched. This guy is really taking advantage of others and is unwilling to suffer any loss!
But thinking of Lu Ye's miraculous skills just now and the tamed Kraken, he nodded.
"Okay! That's no problem. I'll arrange for someone to help you salvage it!"
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Just then, there was a knock on the conference room door.
Su Baiyue's voice came from outside the door.
"Brother Lu, someone outside wants to see you by name."
"Oh? Looking for me?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, a little curious.
"Who is it? Why are you so arrogant?"
Could it be that Xie Wei, who had previously offered the reward, was still unwilling to give up and came back again?
No, he's probably still licking his wounds somewhere.
The door was pushed open and Su Baiyue led two people in.
The leader was Liao Qingyue, still in her smart combat uniform, and her cold eyes swept over Lu Ye and Meng Yang.
Behind her was a petite girl holding a strange tablet device. The most eye-catching thing was that a small drone with a faint blue light was floating on the girl's shoulder!
Lu Ye's attention was immediately attracted by the drone, and he looked at the girl with interest.
“Who is this…?”
Liao Qingyue spoke lightly.
"This is my team member, Qin Luo."
Qin Luo glanced at Lu Ye timidly and added softly, "My profession is 'travel reporter'."
"Reporter?" Lu Ye's eyes lit up and he pointed at the sci-fi-looking drone.
"So, is this little thing your professional equipment? Can it be upgraded?"
If this thing could be upgraded into a swarm of drones capable of both reconnaissance and attack, that would be awesome!
If this is cultivated, it will be a must-have item for home and travel, for exploring and ambushing people in the future!
Lu Ye's thoughts were already ringing loudly.
Qin Luo felt a little uneasy at his overly eager gaze, and subconsciously shrank behind Liao Qingyue, muttering softly.
"Currently... Currently, I can only scout and photograph. There are many ways to upgrade... but the materials and skill points are difficult to obtain."
Liao Qingyue took a step forward, protecting Qin Luo behind her without leaving any trace, and met Lu Ye with a cold gaze.
"Mr. Lu, we came here this time to..."
She had just started to speak when Lu Ye raised his hand to interrupt her.
"Captain Liao," Lu Ye grinned, revealing eight white teeth, but his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
"Let's be frank. I understand you want to cooperate. I can also provide you with a batch of much-needed supplies, even weapons and equipment."
He paused, turned his gaze to Qin Luo and the small drone spinning on her shoulder, and spoke in a tone that brooked no room for argument.
"On the condition that you give her and her drone to me."
"What?!" Liao Qingyue's face suddenly changed, like a cat whose tail was stepped on. Her voice suddenly rose, with a hint of incredible anger.
"Lu Ye! Don't go too far! Qin Luo is my teammate, and even more so, my blood relative! You actually want to steal my people?"
Her chest heaved violently, and she was obviously very angry. The look she gave Lu Ye was full of disgust and wariness.
"We're here to seek cooperation, not to sell out our teammates! Your behavior of taking advantage of others' misfortune and poaching them is simply despicable and shameless!"
This guy is just as the rumors say, behaving erratically and without any bottom line!
You just saved Meng Yang and the others, and now you want to tear a piece of flesh from me?
Qin Luo also poked her head out from behind Liao Qingyue, her little face flushed red, and she mustered up the courage to retort loudly.
"I won't leave Captain Liao! We've been together from the beginning, through countless life and death experiences. I will never abandon the Captain and the Windtalker!"
The little girl spoke in a firm tone, her eyes full of stubbornness.
The smile on Lu Ye's face remained unchanged, but there was a hint of playfulness in it.
He didn't argue with them, but just slowly stretched out three fingers.
"Three gates," he said word by word, his voice clearly carried throughout the cabin.
"A level five electromagnetic accelerator cannon of the same caliber as my main gun, plus three boxes of special armor-piercing ammunition. How's that, Captain Liao? Is this price sincere enough?"
Humph, are you trying to play sisterly love with me?
In this damn sea, survival is the most important thing!
I just don’t believe there is a truth harder than the barrel of a gun!
"Five... five-level electromagnetic accelerator cannons? Three?!"
Liao Qingyue took a breath of cold air and her pupils shrank suddenly.
The expression that was as cold and hard as an iceberg just now was instantly covered with cracks.
She knew too well the power of the fifth-level naval gun.
The Windtalker excels in mobility and stealth, but its biggest weakness is firepower.
Not to mention the level 5 gun, there isn't even a level 3 gun on their ship. When they encounter slightly stronger sea beasts or well-equipped players, they can only rely on speed and the individual combat capabilities of the crew.
Three level five main guns... this can almost instantly increase the firepower of the "Windtalker" by several levels!
She subconsciously looked at Qin Luo.
Qin Luo's "travel reporter" profession is indeed special, with first-class reconnaissance capabilities, but it makes almost no contribution in combat. Moreover, career upgrades are extremely slow and require a large amount of rare materials and high skill points. For a small team like theirs with limited resources, the training cost is too high, and there will be no significant returns in the short term.
Qin Luo also felt the struggle in Liao Qingyue's eyes. She bit her lip, and her originally firm look began to waver.
She knew the team's predicament, and she knew even more what these three level five guns meant to the Windtalker.
