Lu Ye took a leisurely glance at Gang Ge, who was frightened in the boat opposite, and then slowly called up his system panel.
A light blue screen unfolded before his eyes, with lines of information clearly visible.
His eyes were fixed directly on the glittering new title.
[Title: New Wu Song Fighting the Tiger]
[Effect 1: Wu Song defeats the tiger, his power terrifies all. Wearing this title grants you the ability to select a single target (either friend or foe) and, for a short period of time, grant that target overwhelming power.]
[Effect 2: Skill refresh time is 48 hours.]
[Special Note: This title can be loaned out temporarily, and can be used on any target, including but not limited to humans and contracted creatures.]
"Wow!" Lu Ye's eyes lit up, and he wanted to give a thumbs up to this broken system.
"Crushing the designated opponent's strength..." He stroked his chin, grinning.
"In a short period of time...how short is this 'short period of time'? And how much of a crushing blow is this? We'll have to try it to find out."
The key point is that "can be loaned out temporarily, with no restrictions on the target"!
The huge figure of his most trusted level 6 deep-sea giant torpedo fish instantly appeared in Lu Ye's mind.
That guy already had thick skin and flesh, and a set of specially crafted scales ripped from sea monsters, giving him incredible defense. Add to that the double electric shock power afforded by his two skill slots...
"Hiss—" Lu Ye couldn't help but take a breath. If he were to give Lei Gong the title of "New Wu Song Fighting the Tiger" and designate a hapless person...
Wow, that picture is so beautiful, I can’t even imagine it.
His mood instantly brightened, and he grinned, revealing a row of white teeth.
"This is great, this is brilliant! With this thing, under certain circumstances, wouldn't I be a walking conceptual god? Whoever I point at will die, whoever I touch will be destroyed!"
Just as he was happily studying the new title, the Zone B regional channel was completely blown up.
The devastating explosion of the light column just now, and the system's area-wide announcement that followed, shocked all the players who witnessed it.
"Did he really blow up the slot machine? That was something the system created!"
"'New Wu Song Fighting the Tiger'? That title sounds so impressive! The effect is bound to be incredible!"
"Who the hell is this Lu Ye? He's like a fierce dragon coming in! He just arrived in Area B and he's already causing such a big commotion. Is he just dying?"
"Just think about how much supplies he has stored on that Genesis! He could even blow up the slot machines! I can't even begin to imagine it!"
All kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred were flooding the channel.
Immediately afterwards, someone initiated a new bet.
A player with the ID Vulture Li San spoke sinisterly.
"Hey, I bet you three days! This Lu guy is so high-profile, I'm afraid he doesn't know the cruelty of Area B. Within three days, he and his ship will be eaten to the bone by those real 'plunderers'!"
"Second! Area B isn't a place for a young fool like him to run wild!"
"Open, open! I bet he won't last more than two days!"
"'Predator'?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows, noticing this high-frequency word in the channel.
He turned his head and looked at Liao Qingyue, who had just walked out of the cabin with a complicated expression.
This woman had been on Xiao Litian's ship before. She was considered a technical talent. After being captured by him, she temporarily served as an advisor.
Liao Qingyue had obviously also seen the content of the regional channel. She frowned slightly, her expression a little solemn, met Lu Ye's gaze, and took the initiative to explain.
"Brother Lu, this 'plunderer' is an identity mark unique to Area B."
She paused, as if forming her words.
"Simply put, they're a group of... lunatics who make a living by plundering. They constantly plunder other players' ships and resources. When the amount of plundering and the negative impact it causes reach a certain level, the system grants them the status of 'plunderer'."
"Oh? There is such a saying?" Lu Ye became interested.
Liao Qingyue nodded and continued to add.
"A fleet with the 'plunderer' status has a huge advantage after sinking or destroying other player teams."
"They can directly take away all the titles dropped by all members of the opposing team!"
"Even if we ordinary players win, we can usually only get a portion of the supplies and one or two random ordinary items dropped by the opponent. The drop rate of things like titles is extremely low, let alone getting them all."
"Thus, the Predators can truly make the most of their resources and squeeze the most value out of the defeated. This is why the fighting in Area B is so brutal. Many people want to become new Predators by hunting others, or to grab more benefits from the Predators."
There was a hint of fear in her tone.
"The Xiao Litian we met on the way to Area B actually wanted to take this path, but his methods were rather inferior and his strength was only mediocre."
"Many true 'plunderers' have hidden tricks up their sleeves, being insidious and cunning, and using every possible means. Their ships may not be the highest-level, but their combat experience and hidden cards are definitely the most abundant."
Finally, Liao Qingyue gave a solemn reminder.
"Brother Lu, you made too much noise this time. You must have been targeted by those top 'predators'. Unless absolutely necessary, try not to confront them head-on."
Liao Qingyue had just finished speaking, and the solemn expression on her face had not yet disappeared, but Lu Ye curled his lips as if he had heard a joke, and flicked his nails nonchalantly.
"A head-on confrontation? I'm afraid I don't have the final say on this matter."
He raised his chin lazily and looked towards the dark sea in the distance.
"Well, if you speak of the devil, he will appear. Look, a 'big fish' has come to our door."
Liao Qingyue's heart tightened, and she suddenly looked in the direction he was looking.
The night is as dark as ink and the sea breeze is cold.
Sure enough, not far behind the Genesis, two blurry black shadows were breaking through the waves and approaching slowly.
As the distance got closer, the outlines of the ships gradually became clear. One was about level five, and the other was actually level six!
What made Liao Qingyue's eyelids twitch even more was that the shapes of the two ships were actually old-fashioned steam ships!
The hull is covered with rust and intermittent black smoke is coming out of the chimney. In this era of high-tech transformation of ships, it looks like an antique dug out from the garbage dump of history.
"It's them!" Liao Qingyue cried out in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.
"The 'Sea Twin Kings' combination in Area B!"
"The Two Kings of the Sea?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and touched his chin with interest.
"Oh? That title sounds impressive. So, are these two the leaders of Area B? The Emperors of the Sea?"
Thinking that he might soon have a clash with this top predator, Lu Ye was not nervous at all. Instead, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He just got the title of the new Wu Song slaying the tiger, and is worried about having no place to experiment!
