"This place..." Shen Shu frowned slightly, "Why does it look a little familiar?"
"It's more than just familiar." Lu Ye touched his chin, a playful glint in his eyes.
"Isn't this the edge of the foggy area we almost ran into when we first came from Area A? If we really go there, maybe we can run into that unlucky guy Xiao Litian again and give him a 'surprise'!"
When you feel sleepy, someone will bring you a pillow. Ye Nan came at the right time!
He made the decision immediately, his voice firm and resolute.
"Okay! I'll take care of the deal! Ye Nan, right? Bring your people and follow closely! Let's go now!"
"Thank you, Captain Lu! Thank you, Captain Lu, for your help!" Ye Nan was overjoyed when he heard this. He bowed repeatedly, his voice trembling with excitement.
By relying on Lu Ye, they might be able to reap huge benefits this time!
"Boss, we just finished a fight, why don't we take a break?" Xiong Ren hesitated.
"Shut up!" Lu Ye glared.
"Speed is of the essence in war! We just replenished our ammunition, and the gun barrels are still hot. Why not strike while the iron is hot and wait for the enemy to react? Besides, this B area is indeed full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers."
As soon as he finished speaking, the system prompt sounded again.
An anonymous player from Area B sent a private message, expressing his willingness to exchange a "rare ship enhancement blueprint" for all the expired antibiotics and hemostatic bandages in Lu Ye's hands.
Lu Ye listened to the system prompt sound, and a smile appeared on his face.
Rare ship enhancement blueprints?
In exchange for these moldy antibiotics and bandages on my hands?
This business is a huge profit!
He nodded in confirmation without hesitation.
With a flash of light, a blueprint with a light golden sheen appeared in the storage space. At the same time, the gains from the previous "charitable act" at the Area B Exchange were also clearly listed.
It would have been fine if the weapon parts and broken blueprints had piled up like a mountain, but what made Lu Ye most excited was that among them lay three special architectural blueprints that were shining with a rare purple light!
"Damn it!" Lu Ye couldn't help but let out a low cry, his eyes wide open.
The first one is [Misty Wonderland·Ship-borne Hot Springs]! The drawing depicts a misty hot spring pool, with small changing rooms and a rest area nearby.
The second image is the [Deep Sea Ghost - Guohang-class Submarine Manufacturing Dock]! Once completed, it will be able to produce a small but fully functional submarine!
The third one is [Thunder Fury Laser Turret Array]! According to the blueprint, once activated, this thing can fire devastating high-energy laser beams!
Wow, a Guohang-class submarine?
Laser turret?
If this is built, won’t the Genesis be able to go to space?
Lu Ye was ecstatic. These blueprints were simply a fantasy to other players. The massive resource consumption alone was enough to discourage them.
But for Lu Ye, he had just robbed the Wang brothers and made a fortune in Area B. Resources?
That’s no problem!
"Xiong Ren! Get all the ingredients ready for me! I want to take a hot spring bath today!"
Lu Ye was full of energy and waved his hand.
The temperature in this sea area has clearly turned towards winter, and the sea breeze feels like a knife on the face.
The allure of hot springs is simply irresistible.
On that day, thanks to Lu Ye's generous investment of resources, an elegant open-air hot spring rose from the ground in a corner of the deck of the "Genesis".
The pool walls are as white as jade, the water is steaming hot, and a windproof wooden screen is thoughtfully built next to it.
As soon as the hot spring was completed, the first people to cheer were the women on the ship.
Chen Shu's usually cold expression softened rarely. She tentatively put her jade feet into the warm pool water, sighed comfortably, and slid in, revealing only her snow-white neck and delicate collarbone.
Su Baiyue was even more direct. She quickly changed into simple clothes and jumped into the pool with a splash, causing a splash of water and earning a reproachful roll of the eyes from Shen Shu.
"Boss Lu, you really do... know how to enjoy yourself!"
Su Baiyue lay by the pool, squinting her eyes contentedly, feeling the comfort brought by the warm spring water.
Even Liao Qingyue and the newly joined Che Jiajia and others looked longing.
Seeing that Lu Ye had also changed into loose shorts and was leaning against the pool with his eyes closed, she rolled her eyes, mustered up the courage to come over, and her voice was somewhat deliberately gentle.
"Captain Lu, I... I learned a set of massage techniques before. Would you like to try it? I guarantee it can relieve fatigue."
Lu Ye didn't even open his eyes, but just snorted "hmm", which was considered as tacit agreement.
Seeing that Lu Ye did not refuse, Che Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief and a flattering smile spread across her face.
She just took it as a sign that Lu Ye was beginning to trust her, so she hurried forward, stretched out her tender little hands, and carefully massaged Lu Ye's shoulders.
The force was neither too strong nor too weak, and the technique was indeed quite skillful, allowing Lu Ye's tense muscles to gradually relax.
Lu Ye was enjoying the rare comfort while thinking about the construction plan of submarines and laser turrets in his mind.
In this way, while enjoying the "corrupt" life, he added bricks and tiles to the "Genesis", and two days passed in a flash.
Under Ye Nan's guidance, the fleet finally arrived at the edge of the foggy waters marked on the treasure map.
At this moment, the materials in Lu Ye's warehouse were enough for him to start construction of the submarine manufacturing dock and laser turret at the same time.
Ye Nan stood at the bow, looking at the thick fog in front of him that seemed to swallow all the light. His face turned pale, and he rubbed his hands and approached Lu Ye cautiously.
"Captain Lu, there's something... I didn't dare to say before..."
Lu Ye glanced at him and said calmly: "Speak."
"Cough cough," Ye Nan coughed twice, cold sweat seeped out of his forehead, and his voice was a little weak.
"This... this secret realm indicated by the treasure map, it... its opening seems to require a specific timing. The system log mentioned that 'easter eggs'—special events—occasionally appear in this sea area. We're currently about five days away from the next round of 'easter egg' windows... With any luck, we'll encounter the node that opens the secret realm within these five days..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became and the lower his head drooped.
Damn it, if I had known this guy was so straightforward, I wouldn’t have tried to be so clever!
He was afraid that Lu Ye would find it troublesome and not want to come, so he deliberately concealed this key information.
When Lu Ye heard this, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and the air around him seemed to drop several degrees.
Ye Nan was so frightened that he trembled and almost fell to his knees.
"So, you mean, we may have to wait here for five days?" Lu Ye's voice showed no emotion, but the invisible pressure made Ye Nan almost breathless.
"Yes...that's right...but it's also possible that it will open tomorrow..." Ye Nan stuttered.
A cold arc appeared at the corner of Lu Ye's mouth.
"We'll follow the map. However, as payment for concealing the information, you'll give us half of everything you find."
