Liao Qingyue cleared her throat.
"To gain an advantage in this survival game, I've poured almost all of my skill points and upgrade resources into optimizing the Soaring's power system and hull structure! Many of our crew members are from real-life naval backgrounds, so their professionalism is unquestionable!"
She paused, a hint of provocation in her tone.
"The Feiyang's top speed is comparable to that of real-world warships. We've even conducted professional-level fluid dynamics calculations and structural reinforcements tailored to the unique environment of this area. Mr. Lu, if you're trying to compete with us in speed, I'm afraid... it's not fair to you."
This guy really wants to intimidate me!
Well, let me show you that my "Fei Yang" is not a pushover either!
"Oh? Really?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, and that expression of "I'm watching your performance" made Liao Qingyue grit her teeth.
Without saying much, he walked to the side of the "Lucky" ship, faced the howling sea breeze, and blew a loud whistle!
The next second, the sea surface suddenly churned!
“Clatter—”
Several huge black shadows rushed out from the deep sea. They were the two level 4 monster fish tamed by Lu Ye, as well as several other smaller but equally ferocious sea beasts!
They swam to the sides of the "Lucky" as quickly as arrows, and their tough fins or tentacles cleverly placed on the towing points reserved on the hull.
"Guys, it's time for dinner... No, it's time for the road!"
Lu Ye waved his hand.
The "Lucky" seemed to have been equipped with several super engines. The bow of the ship suddenly raised up, breaking through the waves and rushing away in an almost brutal manner!
Liao Qingyue's pupils on the "Feiyang" suddenly shrank!
"Attention all units! Power axes activated! Engine overload, increase speed to maximum!"
She gave orders in a stern voice, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
A dazzling blue flame spurted out from the stern of the "Flying", and the hull emitted a humming sound under the heavy load, like a speedboat flying close to the sea surface, rolling up two long white waves, and desperately chasing the "monster" in front that was being dragged by a sea beast.
Even so, the distance between the two ships is still being widened little by little!
How is this possible? !
He could actually command so many high-level sea beasts to work together?!
Monster Tamer... the power of this title is far beyond my imagination!
Liao Qingyue's heart was in turmoil.
Seeing that the "Fei Yang" was trying its best to maintain a distance that was about to be left behind, Liao Qingyue was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Lu Ye's "show of force" should almost end here.
Unexpectedly, on the deck of the "Lucky" in front, Lu Ye sat down leisurely and blew a joking whistle in their direction.
"Too slow, Captain Liao." His lazy voice came clearly even through the roar of the waves.
Immediately afterwards, a scene occurred that stunned Liao Qingyue and all the crew members of the Feiyang.
Lu Ye patted the side of the boat, as if calling for something.
"boom--!!!"
A huge shadow as big as a mountain suddenly rose from the bottom of the ship!
The sea water was pushed back to form a huge wall of water!
That's the Kraken!
Although it is a juvenile, its size is enough for the "Lucky" to walk on its broad back as if it were flat ground!
The giant whale swung its huge tail covered with a thick layer of cuticle, and the "Lucky" was like being installed on an intercontinental missile. It instantly turned into an arrow and shot towards the distance!
“Oh my god!”
"Captain! Hold on!!"
Exclamations came one after another on the "Flying".
When the young Kraken's huge body moved forward at high speed, the huge waves it stirred up were like moving hills, slamming hard into the "Flying" following closely behind!
The "Fei Yang" was like a fallen leaf in a storm, the hull was shaking violently, and it was almost overturned by the oncoming huge waves several times!
The professional sailors on board tried their best to barely control the boat, but everyone's face was filled with horror and embarrassment.
Liao Qingyue gripped the rudder tightly, her face as pale as paper.
Is this still a human operation?!
Using a BOSS-level sea monster as a mount?!
How's the balance of this game?!
The professional-level calculations and top-notch mobility that she was proud of were simply a joke in front of Lu Ye's unreasonable "plug-in"!
An unknown amount of time had passed, but when everyone on the "Flying" felt as if their internal organs were about to be shaken apart, the terrifying giant whale in front finally slowed down.
At this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the only lights on the sea were the stars and the lights of the "Lucky".
Lu Ye's voice came again.
"It looks like we're almost halfway there. It's getting dark, so let's take a break first and get enough energy before continuing tomorrow."
He stood on the deck of the "Lucky", looking down at the miserable "Flying", with a faint smile on his lips.
The way Liao Qingyue and the surviving crew members on the "Fei Yang" looked at Lu Ye had completely changed.
It was a mixture of awe, fear, and... a hint of indescribable frustration.
She took a deep breath, her voice a little hoarse, but full of complete conviction.
"Mr. Lu... I, Liao Qingyue, have broadened my horizons today. I used to think that as long as I had sufficient professional knowledge and precise calculations, I could handle anything. Now it seems..."
She gave a wry smile.
"In the face of absolute strength, all professional knowledge is worthless!"
She almost shouted these words, venting a sense of catharsis after her faith collapsed.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye just smiled faintly and looked towards the dark sea in the distance.
"We're not far from our destination, so we can take it easy tomorrow."
He glanced at the "Flying" that was almost falling apart, and spoke in a flat tone.
"As for you guys... I can barely keep up."
This woman finally behaved herself.
However, the Feiyang has good resilience and is worth winning over.
He changed the subject.
"Alright, stop sitting there in the cold. Captain Liao, bring a few of your core members over to my ship. Let's celebrate. After all, my title of 'Gundam Pilot' wasn't easy to come by, so I need to find some people to celebrate."
Liao Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and then a complicated look appeared on her face.
She didn't expect that after such a thrilling "chase", Lu Ye would actually invite them to a celebration banquet.
When she and a few of her confidants tremblingly boarded the "Lucky" through the makeshift gangway, she was instantly shocked by the scene before her and was speechless again.
The spacious cabin was brightly lit, and the air was filled with the aroma of barbecue and fine wine.
The table was filled with all kinds of canned goods, compressed foods, fresh fruits, and even several barrels of fresh water with a refreshing aroma!
