Qin He, who had been waiting for a long time, was so excited that he almost jumped up from the driver's seat when he heard this. His exaggerated voice came from the communicator.
"Boss Lu! You are my adopted parent! Thank you for your grace!"
He even lost his balance and his knees slipped on the deck, almost causing him to fall to his knees.
Following Lu Ye's move, Qin He's ship not only got a lot better, but its points also kept rising. It was about to squeeze into the top three. This was simply a blessing from heaven!
[System prompt: "Lucky" initiates a points transfer request, do you want to confirm?]
Lu Ye chose "yes" without hesitation.
A barely detectable stream of data passed through the system level in less than a minute.
On the "Emperor Wu", Cai Jinwu, who was just feeling lucky to have kept the third place, suddenly caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye and saw that a number on the leaderboard had undergone an incredible change!
He suddenly looked closely and saw that Qin He's "Qingtian", which had been firmly ranked fourth and which he thought was impossible to catch up, was now soaring in points at a rocket-like speed. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the points line of his "Wu Di" and firmly occupied the third place!
"No... Impossible!" Cai Jinwu was struck by lightning. The blood color on his face instantly faded away, leaving only a dead gray.
He desperately commanded his men to attack, but the speed at which the points increased was nothing compared to the overwhelming surge of the "Sky"!
At this moment, he saw that the number "Lucky" at the top of the list, its points that had been so high and out of reach, suddenly showed a significant decline!
In an instant, Cai Jinwu understood everything.
It’s Lu Ye… He is the one transferring points to Qin He!
This realization was like a basin of ice water, chilling him from head to toe.
An unprecedented regret eroded his internal organs like poison.
I...why did I have to be so mean to provoke him?!
He regretted it immensely now. If time could go back, he would rather chop himself into pieces and feed him to the fish than provoke Lu Ye, the plague god!
[System prompt: The Blood Hunting Grounds event has ended! Points calculation begins...]
["Wu Di" ultimately ranked fourth, failing to meet the top three criteria. All non-bound supplies will be recycled by the system, while the core components of the ship will be retained.]
The cold system notification sound was like the sentence of death.
Cai Jinwu watched helplessly as the mountains of supplies on his ship disappeared out of thin air. The ammunition, repair materials, food and fresh water that had just been replenished vanished in an instant.
His eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
The boat... the boat is still there...
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, and used his last bit of strength to comfort himself: as long as the ship is still there, I still have a chance to make a comeback!
Lu Ye, Chen Shu, just wait for me!
However, before he could catch his breath, a panicked scream from a sailor suddenly came from the stern:
"Boss Cai! It's bad! The boat... the boat's engine... the engine seems to have broken down! We... we can't move!"
What? !
Cai Jinwu turned his head suddenly, his eyes were red, and the glimmer of hope that had just ignited was instantly extinguished.
He hissed as he let out a low growl like a trapped animal from his throat and suppressed the urge to tear the sailor to pieces.
"Where are the mechanics?! Where have all the mechanics on the ship gone?! Hurry and go over there and take a look! If you can't fix it, I'll throw you all overboard to feed the sharks!"
The "Emperor Wu" was in a state of real chaos at this moment.
The crew members were running around like headless flies. Cai Jinwu's roar echoed on every inch of the deck, mixed with the harsh sound of metal rubbing against each other and low sobs coming from some corners.
About two minutes later, a player in charge of engine maintenance came to Cai Jinwu, his head covered in oil and beads of sweat, crawling and rolling, his voice trembling.
"Cai... Boss Cai! No... This is bad! That turbo engine... It's not malfunctioning... Someone has dismantled the core drive shaft and several key valves!"
"What?!" Cai Jinwu's eyes widened like bells. He grabbed the mechanic's collar and almost lifted him off the ground.
"Torn down?! Who has the audacity to tamper with my ship?! Where are the guards in the engine room? Are they all dead?!"
The mechanic player was almost out of breath and struggled to squeeze out a few words.
"The guard... the guard was knocked unconscious... and those new players who joined us earlier... the Scorpion Man and the Glasses Man... are nowhere to be seen!"
Scorpio man? Glasses?
Cai Jinwu's mind suddenly buzzed, and the timid faces of the two guys appeared before him.
Could it be them?!
Do they have the courage?
He suddenly let go of the mechanic, looked around at the crew members who were silent in fear, and shouted.
"Are you a bunch of losers colluding with outsiders to help outsiders dismantle my ship?!"
Everyone was frightened out of their wits by his ferocious appearance, and shook their heads desperately, fearing that they would be used as a punching bag if they were a step slower.
Cai Jinwu had no place to vent the anger in his heart, so he turned his eyes and stared like a hungry wolf at a woman with a hot body and dazzling blonde waves not far away - Che Jiajia, the highest-ranking animal trainer under his command.
"Che Jiajia!" He strode forward, grabbed her collar, and spit flew everywhere.
"What are your animal trainers doing?! Someone got into the engine compartment and started sabotaging it, and your beasts didn't even say a word?! What's the point of keeping a bunch of you useless people?"
Che Jiajia's pretty face turned red from being strangled by him, but a hint of resolute coldness flashed in her eyes.
She shook her head violently, broke free from Cai Jinwu's hand, and said in a voice even colder than his: "Cai Jinwu, stop going crazy here!"
This retort made the surroundings instantly silent.
"I quit!" Che Jiajia straightened her back, her plump chest heaving violently.
"We've already fallen out of the top three, and we've run out of supplies. What future do we have following a headstrong, murderous idiot like you? Sisters, let's go! If I can't stay here, I'll find another place to stay!"
Before she finished her words, she quickly formed a strange hand seal with both hands and muttered something. With a sharp whistle, three nimble deep-sea swordfish broke through the water and darted like sharp arrows to the side of the "Wu Di" ship.
"Sister Jiajia!" The other two young female animal trainers, who were also Che Jiajia's best friends, responded without hesitation and followed her to jump onto the swordfish's back.
Cai Jinwu was so stunned by this sudden change that he forgot to attack for a moment.
These… these women… are rebelling! They’re all fucking rebellious! He was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointing at their backs, but he couldn’t utter a single word of curse.
