He Zhe was filled with despair. The little thought he had just now seemed stupid and ridiculous.
If I had known Lu Ye was such a ruthless character who didn't play by the rules, I wouldn't have dared to step out and get into trouble! Now, instead of getting any benefits, he became a rat crossing the street in Area B, everyone shouting and beating him.
It’s all over…
Just as the players in Area B were pouring their anger out on the unfortunate He Zhe and the scene was in chaos, a slightly hoarse voice came from another equally miserable Level 5 ship.
"Captain Lu...Captain Lu!"
Qi Zhouquan, a captain who was somewhat famous in Area B, was trying hard to force out a smile that was uglier than crying, and was shouting at the Genesis across the sea not too far away.
The crew members behind him all looked terrified, fearing that Lu Ye's gun would be aimed at them in the next second.
"Captain Lu, do you think...are there still any opportunities in our B area...to make a deal with you?"
Qi Zhouquan's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with hope and anxiety.
Lu Ye was directing his men to count the spoils. Upon hearing this, he lazily raised his eyelids, with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Oh? Deal?" He looked as if he had heard some huge joke, his eyes sweeping across Qi Zhouquan's face full of nervousness.
"Tell me, what do you have to show off?"
These cowards in Area B, who won't cry until they see the coffin, are now trying to curry favor with the powerful? Too late!
Lu Ye sneered in his heart.
His Genesis is now fully stocked with supplies, with mountains of equipment and materials just exploded from the dark creature fish, not to mention the massive resources he had previously won from Qi Hesong.
It is no exaggeration to say that he is now extremely rich and he really doesn't care about ordinary things.
Qi Zhouquan was a little frightened by Lu Ye's all-seeing eyes, but he took a deep breath and was about to throw out his biggest chip.
"Captain Lu, I have some special maps of uncharted waters..."
Before he could finish his words, Lu Ye waved his hand impatiently and interrupted him.
"Map?" Lu Ye sneered, his tone full of disdain.
"You think I need that stuff? If I just shout in the A-area channel now, do you believe I can receive dozens of unique rare maps within a few minutes? Not to mention B-area, even for those in the more distant seas, as long as I ask, there are plenty of people rushing to deliver them to my door."
He paused, his eyes sharpening.
"If you can't come up with some real money, or exclusive intelligence that's attractive enough to me, don't waste my time here."
Qi Zhouquan's face instantly became extremely embarrassed.
The drafts he prepared all revolved around those special maps that he considered precious. Who would have thought that Lu Ye didn't even look at them!
Damn, I miscalculated! This guy is so popular right now, and the people in Area A worship him like a god. Ordinary rare resources really don't even bother him!
Fine beads of sweat oozed from Qi Zhouquan's forehead, his brain working rapidly, trying to find a new breakthrough.
Seeing his embarrassed look, Lu Ye shook his head and let out an ambiguous sigh.
"Tsk, it seems that there is really not much money left in Area B." He looked around at the damaged ships in Area B, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
"Let's go back to Area A and have a look. Maybe we can find some really good treasures from Lao Meng and the others."
The words were not spoken loudly, but they were clearly heard by the players in the surrounding area B, making their hearts bleed.
Once upon a time, their Area B was also a powerful force, but now they are looked down upon by Lu Ye and are almost losing the qualifications to trade.
Just then!
The sea surface, which had been thrown into chaos by the aftermath of the battle and the roar of the Abisar whale, suddenly fell into a strange silence.
Immediately afterwards, the sky darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if in the blink of an eye, the entire sky was completely covered!
"What's going on? It's dark?!"
"No! This isn't just ordinary darkness! The bracelet is telling you... polar night phenomenon!"
"Oh my god! How did we suddenly enter polar night? The system didn't even give us any warning!"
Screams rang out one after another, and all the players felt unprecedented panic.
In this survival game world, although light and darkness alternate, the daytime is much longer than the night.
Therefore, the core power systems of most ships rely on solar panels.
In the previous few Easter egg incidents, it was mostly daytime at sea.
Now that they have suddenly entered the polar night, it means that their main source of power will be completely cut off!
"My backup batteries won't last long!"
"The ship's lighting system is losing power!"
"Does anyone have blueprints for a diesel generator or other energy conversion device? High price!"
For a time, public channels and regional channels were instantly flooded with information about purchasing energy blueprints.
Those level six and level five captains who had previously relied on the high level of their ship were now panicking and marking high bounties on the map channel, just asking for an energy blueprint that would allow them to survive the polar night.
Darkness brings unknown fear and energy crisis.
Qi Zhouquan's eyes suddenly lit up in the midst of this panic!
This is my chance!
He suddenly raised his head, his face flushed abnormally with excitement, and his voice rose several degrees due to excitement.
"Captain Lu! I have blueprints! I have some special energy core modification blueprints, and also a... a top-secret navigation chart for Area C! It's definitely what you need most right now!"
"Area C?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.
He was not unfamiliar with this term.
It was mentioned in the novice tutorial that this sea area is divided into three main areas: A, B, and C, as well as more unknown marginal areas.
Areas A and B are where players are relatively concentrated, while Area C...
Seeing that Lu Ye seemed interested, Qi Zhouquan quickly added.
"Yes, Captain Lu! Area C! Although that place is dangerous, it's said that the death rate for the first players who enter is extremely high. It's almost like a dead zone. Even our level 6 ships don't dare to approach it easily. However, risk also means opportunity!"
He lowered his voice, with a hint of mysterious allure.
"It's been a long time since we last heard that someone had successfully broken into Area C and made it out alive. It's said that the world's most primitive secrets and top-level resources are hidden there!"
"You can't go to Area C!"
A cold and resolute female voice suddenly came from the deck of the Genesis.
It was Liao Qingyue. She had been standing quietly beside Shen Shu, but at this moment she couldn't help but speak, with obvious worry on her face.
"Lu Ye, according to the fragmentary intelligence we collected from Area A, the environment in Area C is extremely harsh. It's also said that several major shipping routes leading to Area C have been blocked by the system in unknown ways not long ago. It's also polar night now, and our vision is limited. If we enter that sea area, we are likely to get lost and become completely trapped there!"
