The event ended and the points were reset to zero, which made Cai Jinwu feel like he was falling into an ice cave.
Then, his most trusted crew members turned against him and robbed him of everything. If this broken ship had not been bound to his soul, he had no doubt that he would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish by those guys who had been so submissive to him!
Now, he saw with his own eyes that his last trump card turned into nothing in the hands of his enemy.
He finally understood that the three traitors Che Jiajia not only took away his trained animals, but also cut off his source of support, directly destroying all his thoughts!
Those traitors actually defected to Lu Ye!
A feeling of humiliation of being completely betrayed and fooled instantly eroded all his sanity.
"Lu Ye!" Cai Jinwu's face was distorted and his voice was hoarse like a broken gong.
"Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go! I want you to pay the price!!"
He suddenly growled, veins popped out on his neck, and a hint of crazy determination flashed in his eyes!
boom!
With a loud bang, a ball of fire and thick smoke suddenly exploded from Cai Jinwu's body, and the strong shock wave made everyone around him stagger!
"Be careful!" Che Jiajia screamed and subconsciously wanted to pull Lu Ye.
When the smoke cleared, only a few pieces of burnt rope and a small charred mark remained, and Cai Jinwu's figure had disappeared.
"Is this guy hiding a self-destruct device on his body?" Meng Yang climbed up cursing, his face covered in black and gray.
Che Jiajia's face turned pale and she looked at Lu Ye anxiously.
"Boss Lu! This Cai Jinwu is extremely cunning and vindictive! He suffered such a huge loss this time, and he got away with it. He will definitely find ways to take revenge on you in the future! We..."
Self-destruction?
Interesting, it seems to be some kind of life-saving prop.
Lu Ye dusted himself off, but there was no panic on his face. Instead, he showed a playful smile.
"Revenge on me?" He sneered.
"That's perfect. I think the guys in Area A aren't enough to fight. If he wants to go to Area B, go ahead. The more people who come, the better. It would be best if he could bring all his cronies along."
He counted on his fingers, his eyes shining.
"Let's do the math. That engine core just produced another piece of rare superconducting alloy. I already have three pieces. If I could get a few more 'Transport Captains' like Boss Cai and give me a few more special metals, I could even build the cockpit of my 'Gundam'!"
Humanoid mecha, just thinking about it makes me excited!
Wouldn’t it be great if we could kill a kid with one shot?
Liao Qingyue adjusted her glasses, her eyes behind the lenses filled with a seriousness. She walked forward and reminded Lu Ye.
"Boss Lu, if Cai Jinwu really went to Area B, I'm afraid there would be some trouble. Also, you should also pay attention. The event just ended, and the system has undergone a small-scale update. According to the intelligence I received, it seems that a 'firewall' has been established between Areas A and B."
"Firewall?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
"Yes," Liao Qingyue said seriously.
"It can be thought of as a regional barrier. To enter Area B from Area A, or vice versa, there are strict requirements for ship level. At the very least, your 'Lucky One' must first be upgraded to Level 6 and officially named before you can gain permission to sail across regions."
Oh? There's such a setting?
A level six ship, does it still need a name?
Quite interesting.
Lu Ye touched his chin. Upgrading and naming were not a problem for him at all.
"It's a small matter." He waved his hand, appearing to be indifferent, and then looked at Liao Qingyue and Qin He not far away.
"Upgrading materials won't be a problem. So, Sister Liao, Qin He, I have enough points to hire both of you teams. Help me collect the nearby supply boxes. Prioritize building materials and ores. The more efficient you are, the more extra rewards you'll receive!"
"No problem, Boss Lu!" Qin He agreed readily, and Liao Qingyue also nodded. It would be a bastard not to make money when there is money to be made, let alone a big money sponsor like Lu Ye.
Seeing this, Che Jiajia hurried over and spoke with some anticipation and nervousness.
"Um... Boss Lu, I can help too! After upgrading my animal taming skill, I gained a new skill called 'Basic Animal Communication'. Although my level isn't high right now, I can only communicate with some small, unintelligent marine creatures and ask them to help me find the location of the nearby boxes. It should still be possible!"
She was afraid that Lu Ye would think he was useless, so she quickly added.
"I will work hard to improve my skill level!"
Hearing this, Lu Ye looked at her and saw that her face was full of sincerity and the corners of her mouth were raised.
"Okay, from now on you will be the chief animal behavior communication consultant on my Lucky One."
He changed the subject and directly took out three empowerment scrolls with different lusters from the storage space and stuffed them into Che Jiajia's arms.
"Here, a welcome gift. D-level, B-level, and a blank one. Use them as you see fit. If you don't have enough, let me know."
"Ah?!" Che Jiajia was holding three scrolls emitting energy fluctuations, and was completely stunned.
This is it for me?
Three scrolls?! One of them is B-rank?!
She originally just wanted to demonstrate her worth, strive for a stable position, and see if she could win some favor so that she could do things more easily in the future.
But no one expected that the new boss would be so generous!
This is simply pie in the sky!
This Boss Lu is so generous!
Che Jiajia felt her heart pounding, and a feeling of being recognized and valued arose spontaneously.
Che Jiajia held the three scrolls in her hands, her face flushed with excitement and she almost jumped up.
This is a B-level scroll and a precious blank scroll!
Boss Lu gave it to her casually. She had never dared to imagine such generosity from Cai Jinwu before!
"Boss Lu, you...don't worry!" Her voice was trembling. She nodded vigorously, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.
"Even if I have to risk my life, I, Che Jiajia, will help you turn this sea area upside down and bring back all the supplies we can find!"
A huge surprise and a warm feeling of being trusted instantly enveloped her, making her eyes feel a little hot.
She took a deep breath and carefully put the scroll away, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.
"Oh, Boss Lu!" Che Jiajia's eyes lit up as if she remembered something.
"My...my animal taming skills have just been upgraded to level five thanks to the scroll you gifted me! Now, I can attempt to communicate and command lower-level marine creatures within a ten-mile radius on a deeper level!"
She couldn't wait to show her worth, so she closed her eyes and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. An invisible spiritual wave centered on her and spread out to the surrounding sea like ripples.
"All my friends who hear my call, please help me push those boxes floating on the sea to the side of those big ships!"
She repeated the instructions silently in her mind.
