Lu Ye didn't even raise his head, his fingers moving nimbly on the virtual buttons of the detector, but he responded slowly.
"Danger? Little girl, when has the sea ever been safe?"
He paused, finished debugging, and then looked up at Qin Luo, his eyes so sharp that they seemed to penetrate people's hearts.
"I have my reasons for going there."
He grinned, revealing his sharp white teeth.
"The system rewards are generous. This is just one of the reasons, and it's the least important one."
He lowered his voice, with a hint of unknown chill.
"More importantly, my upcoming 'arrangements' require a place completely isolated from the ordinary sea area. You know, with my current status, it's not convenient for me to wander around in crowded places."
He pointed at himself.
"Almost. I'm at the top of this crappy game's official kill list. I tend to attract flies wherever I go."
System upgrades, equipment debugging, and those weird gadgets opened from the initial box all require a quiet place to study.
It would be bad if the noise was too loud and caused unnecessary trouble.
Lu Ye changed the subject and looked at Qin Luo with a hint of scrutiny and warning.
"So, young reporter, once you're on my ship, you have to abide by my rules. What I hate most are traitors who stab people in the back. People like that usually don't survive the next day on my ship."
His tone was calm, but it made Qin Luo shiver.
Without waiting for Qin Luo's response, Lu Ye seemed to suddenly remember something, patted her shoulder, and pointed casually to the back of the cabin.
"Oh, by the way, new here, you haven't seen the 'local specialties' of our Lucky One yet, right? Xiong Ren, take this young reporter to our B2 warehouse to open her eyes."
Xiong Ren grinned and responded in a muffled voice, then without saying anything, he dragged the still dazed Qin Luo towards the depths of the cabin.
A few minutes later, when Qin Luo stood at the door of the huge warehouse filled with various artillery pieces, heavy machine guns, and rows of standard ammunition boxes, her face turned pale and even her breathing stopped for half a second.
The ferocious gun muzzles flashed with cold metallic light, and the air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder mixed with machine oil.
This is not a warehouse at all, it's clearly a mobile arsenal!
Oh my god...is this still a player's ship?!
Three level five electromagnetic cannons... just the spares he discarded?!
Qin Luo only felt her scalp tingling and her legs going weak.
She finally understood why Captain Liao compromised so quickly in front of the three level five guns, and instantly understood where Lu Ye's fearless "frankness" came from.
No wonder this guy acts so decisively and confidently... It turns out that he possesses absolute force that is enough to crush everything!
Qin Luo took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and clenched her fists tightly.
She came out of the warehouse and walked straight to Lu Ye. Her voice was a little dry, but with a hint of urgency.
"Mr. Lu...Mr. Lu! I...I just remembered that my profession...actually comes with an 'emergency communication link' function!"
She seemed to be afraid that Lu Ye wouldn't believe her, so she quickly added.
"In a very urgent situation, I can establish a one-way, short-range encrypted communication with Captain Liao's Windtalker, sharing part of my reconnaissance vision! I didn't mention it before because I was afraid..."
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, with no expression of surprise on his face, and just said "Oh" lightly.
Sure enough, how could such a special profession not have any life-saving trump cards?
Liao Qingyue is a woman with deep thoughts.
He played with the geological sonar detector in his hand, his tone unquestionable.
"Now, show me the connection."
"Now...now?" Qin Luo was stunned. She didn't expect Lu Ye to make such a request.
"What else? When we get there, you can 'remember' and tell me that this is the secret weapon of your sisterly love?"
Lu Ye sneered.
Qin Luo's face turned pale. Not daring to hesitate any longer, she quickly operated a micro device on her wrist with her fingers.
A moment later, Liao Qingyue's communication request was connected to the public channel of the bridge.
"Qin Luo?!" Liao Qingyue's voice was filled with obvious astonishment and a hint of barely perceptible panic.
"You...why did you contact me? What happened?"
At this moment, her heart was filled with alarm. Could it be that bastard Lu Ye did something to Qin Luo?
Or is Qin Luo in danger?
Lu Ye took the communicator, his voice was lazy, but it carried an invisible pressure.
"Captain Liao, don't be nervous. Your precious teammate is very good. She just wants to show me her professional 'special ability'."
He paused, and his tone suddenly turned cold.
"However, Captain Liao, I'd like to hear your explanation for this 'little concealment'. You know, I don't like traveling with an unidentified, or... less than honest, burden."
He deliberately emphasized the three words "burden".
Liao Qingyue on the other end of the line was silent for a few seconds, and then a helpless sigh was heard.
"Mr. Lu, this matter... was indeed my negligence. Qin Luo's ability, once exposed, would easily make her a target of public criticism. I just wanted to protect her. After all, her profession has almost no self-protection capabilities."
Damn it! This Lu Ye is really not easy to fool!
"Protect?" Lu Ye sneered, his eyes as cold as a knife.
"For me, the greatest protection is strength and...loyalty."
He turned his gaze to Qin Luo, whose face was pale and whose body was trembling slightly, and spoke every word with force.
"I don't like surprises, and I don't need a next one. Got it?"
Lu Ye's cold gaze swept across Qin Luo and Liao Qingyue's faces on the other end of the communicator. The invisible pressure made the air seem to solidify a little.
He snorted, turning the page, but the warning in his tone remained unchanged.
"Since Captain Liao is so confident, we'll have to ask the Feiyang to keep a close eye on us."
Lu Ye curled up the corner of his mouth, revealing a malicious smile.
"This time we're going to the 'Special Map', the journey is long, and I don't have time to wait for the slow fellow. If I can't keep up..."
He drawled, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"I'm going to settle that little misunderstanding."
Humph, you want to plant spies on my ship, and you want me to pretend I know nothing?
No way!
If I don't teach you a lesson, do you really think I, Lu Ye, am easy to fool?
Liao Qingyue on the other end of the line felt a tightness in her heart when she heard this, but then a surge of pride came over her.
She has absolute confidence in the speed of the "Flying".
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu!" Her voice was still clear and firm despite the electricity.
