Lu Ye fell into deep thought.
Could it be that upgrading talents, in addition to increasing the probability of opening boxes, can also add some buffs like "event-related good luck"?
For example, in this terrifying vortex incident that almost wiped out all the players, a supply box discarded by others just happened to float to the side of your boat, and it opened up something you desperately needed?
No matter what, just survive first!
"Chen Shu!" Lu Ye shouted towards the cockpit, "Keep fishing! Bring me all the boxes you can see nearby! Warm up the engines, get ready to accelerate! After we finish this wave of fishing, we'll find a safer area on the edge, away from this damn place!"
"Got it!" Shen Shu replied concisely, her fingers on the control panel moving flexibly, and the huge mechanical claws stretched out accurately towards the sea surface again.
At this moment, a piece of news on the regional channel instantly ignited the nerves of all survivors!
"! Golden Legend! I opened a Golden Legend!"
A player with the ID [Bottle on the Sea] screamed incoherently.
"A fish! A strange, golden fish! Our boat was almost sucked in just now. It was this fish! It suddenly jumped out of the box, as fast as lightning, biting directly into our bow and dragging us out of the whirlpool! We survived! Hahahaha!"
Golden Legend? Fish? And it can even tow a boat?!
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and immediately realized that things were not simple.
This is no ordinary sea fish!
"Chen Shu! Don't just look at our area, switch to other nearby public area channels! See if there are similar situations!"
"Okay." Shen Shu operated quickly, and several virtual screens lit up in the cockpit, with scrolling text information flashing by rapidly.
Within a few seconds, Shen Shu's voice came with a hint of surprise.
"Lu Ye, there's more than one! Reports have been coming from several regional channels! They're all found in crates, strange giant fish of all colors. They're small, but their strength and speed are astonishing! Several small boats were on the verge of being swallowed, but were saved by these fish! Someone posted a screenshot, take a look!"
One screen zoomed in, revealing a blurry but still recognizable image:
A tattered little wooden raft, the bow of which was held in the mouth of a huge fish that was completely green and looked like it was carved from jade. It was moving rapidly against the direction of the water flow at an incredible angle, away from the edge of the terrifying dark vortex behind it!
As expected! Lu Ye's mind suddenly became clear.
Is this a special "hack" or... a "mount" for this "Speed" event?!
In this way, the game system leaves a glimmer of hope for players who are in desperate situations but lucky enough!
Those small boats that are underpowered and destined to be eliminated can temporarily escape the fate of death if they are lucky enough to drive this "Sea King-type power-assisted vehicle"!
What a fun time!
Lu Ye cursed inwardly, but his eyes flashed with an even more fiery light.
Since it is a "welfare" provided by the system, there is no reason why a "lucky guy" like me cannot get it!
Moreover, others were opening boxes one by one, but I had a mountain of boxes here!
"Chen Hebei!" Lu Ye's voice suddenly rose.
"Hurry up! Grab all the floating supply boxes within sight, no matter if they're made of metal or wood, big or small! Pile them all on the deck! Quick!"
Although Shen Hebei didn't understand why, he immediately followed the order.
For a moment, the robotic arms waved like crazy crab claws, grabbing and dragging boxes floating in the waves, and then slamming them onto the wide deck of the "Wavebreaker" with clangs.
Soon, the deck was piled up with twenty or thirty boxes of various supplies, like a small mountain!
The other players on the struggling ships all looked sideways when they saw this scene.
"What's the Wavebreaker doing? Is it crazy? Picking up so much garbage at a time like this?"
"I guess they want to replenish some supplies, but boxes also take up weight..."
Lu Ye ignored the looks of others.
He took a deep breath and walked over to the pile of boxes, his eyes wild.
Come on! Whether it's a mule or a horse, a golden legend or a compressed biscuit, it all depends on this wave!
He did not open them one by one, but placed his palms on all the boxes, muttering to himself:
"All turned on!"
Buzz——!!!
The piles of supply boxes shook violently almost at the same time.
Immediately afterwards, a light brighter than any before burst out from the pile of boxes!
Three!
Three beams of light, each of different colors but equally dazzling, shot up into the sky!
The light faded, and three huge fish with strange shapes and radiant light appeared out of thin air above the deck, gently swaying their tail fins and hovering half a meter above the ground!
One of them was red as fire, and the edges of its scales seemed to have magma flowing!
A fish as blue as the sea, with fins like transparent ice crystals!
One is as black as ink, but with some twinkling stars on its surface, it is the most majestic!
"Three at once?!"
"That's... the legendary 'Poseidon Guardian'? Am I seeing things?!"
"Oh my god! What kind of incredible luck is this Wavebreaker?! I opened a hundred boxes and didn't even see a single fish!"
A burst of gasps and exclamations suddenly rang out from the surrounding channels and nearby ships!
The person who was mocking Lu Ye for picking up garbage just now felt a burning pain on his cheek.
"We actually witnessed the birth of a legend?"
Someone murmured to himself, his tone filled with awe.
But soon, jealous voices followed.
"Hmph! So what if they're three? His 'Breakthrough' is a massive lump of iron, its tonnage is terrifying! Let alone three, even thirty of these small fish might not be able to be pulled."
"That's right! It's just for show! It looks good but doesn't work! What a waste of luck!"
Lu Ye had no time to pay attention to the sour words of these sour people.
His eyes were fixed on the three large fish floating in the air.
The system panel automatically pops up their information.
[Red Flame Burning Sea Fish (Excellent Grade Mount): Provides moderate water traction and a slight flame burning effect.]
[Ice Crystal Ranger (Excellent Mount): Provides moderate water traction and a short-term freezing effect.]
【??? (???):……???】
The information in the first two paragraphs is clear and concise. It is exactly what players call the "Poseidon Guardian", which can provide valuable power.
But the third one, the one with the black ink and star-speckled strange fish, had a series of question marks in its information column! What made Lu Ye's pupils shrink was that -
Following the string of question marks, there was a glaring scarlet note:
[Red Name (Extremely Dangerous)]!
The moment Lu Ye saw the "red name" mark, the dark monster fish seemed to sense something, and its originally floating body suddenly sank. With a "splash", it instantly sank into the sea water next to the deck like the most agile diver, leaving only a tiny vortex!
