[Player ID: Alloy Hull]: Ten iron blocks?! Why don't you just go grab them?!
[Player ID: Scrap Picker Wang Er]: Holy shit! My entire fortune is only about twenty or so ingots! And you want ten?!
[Player ID: Iron-Blooded Wolf]: Boss Lu, this... isn't this a bit too harsh? Iron blocks are the core material for upgrading the hull's defenses! Ten iron blocks are enough for me to reinforce the bow by one layer! This takes up almost a third of the materials I need for my current upgrade plan!
[Player ID: Wind Candle]: Yeah, yeah! Boss, we're also a small business, can you... be flexible? Give us less? Or maybe use something else instead?
The number of voices echoing the idea immediately increased. It was obvious that the threshold of ten iron blocks had irritated many people.
Lu Ye looked at the complaints scrolling on the screen without any fluctuation in his eyes.
How can you expect a group of guys who are not willing to pay even this little price to come up with something valuable to trade?
He just wants to take advantage.
His fingers tapped the screen quickly.
[System prompt: Player "Alloy Hull" has been removed from the group chat]
[System prompt: Player "Junk Picker Wang Er" has been removed from the group chat]
[System prompt: Player "Iron Blood Wolf" has been removed from the group chat]
[System prompt: Player "Candle in the Wind" has been removed from the group chat]
A series of system prompts popped up, and half of the ID that was crying poor just now disappeared in an instant.
The group suddenly became quiet, and the remaining people were silent.
Lu Ye: I've made it clear, this is the threshold. If you don't even qualify, then you don't have anything worth my time. Those who want to take advantage of me or get something for nothing can withdraw. Don't waste everyone's time.
The cold words poured down on the remaining players' heads completely destroyed their hope of bargaining.
This "Lu Ye" is not only extremely powerful, but also has an overbearing and unreasonable style of doing things!
Just as the group chat fell into an eerie silence, Lu Ye stopped paying attention to them.
He swiped away the chat interface and looked at his system panel.
The rewards from the "Speed of Life and Death" event just now, in addition to the title, also included several supply boxes lying quietly in the system warehouse.
It’s just right, let’s see what good things this Easter egg event gives us.
By the way... let some people see whether I really need their junk.
Lu Ye thought about it and took out all the boxes of event rewards from the system warehouse and piled them on the relatively empty rear deck of the "Breaking Waves". There were seven or eight boxes of various sizes.
He walked up to the boxes, picked up the largest one at random, and kicked it open!
"Bang!"
The lid of the box popped open, revealing not the expected food or ingredients, but three scrolls emitting a faint golden glow.
"Hmm? What is this?"
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then reached out and picked up the scroll.
The scroll is made of neither gold nor jade, and feels warm to the touch. Complex and mysterious runes are engraved on its surface, and there is a faint flow of energy.
[Item: Occupational Skill Enhancement Scroll (Gold)]
【Quality: Legend】
[Effect: Can be used to upgrade any mastered professional skill by one level (up to the current upgrade limit).]
[Note: Knowledge is power. Ancient wisdom can take you far. The power contained in the golden scroll is the purest and most powerful.]
Three in a row! All golden!
A professional skill enhancement scroll? It can also directly increase skill levels? What a great thing!
Lu Ye's eyes lit up.
His most important combat power, besides the Wavebreaker itself, is the title of [Lightning King] and the [Lucky Plus] talent. If he can upgrade a key skill to the next level...
Just then, his private chat notification rang again.
He is one of the players who just stayed in the group, his ID is [Abyss Gazer].
[Abyss Gazer]: Boss Lu Ye, did you draw the thing called [Professional Skill Enhancement Scroll]?
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and replied with a question mark.
Abyss Gazer: Well, we've just analyzed the intelligence gathered from several areas. This scroll is a special reward for outstanding performance in "Speed Race," directly boosting your class skill level. However, most people only receive [Scroll Fragments], and ten fragments are needed to craft a single, lowest-level [Blue Scroll].
Scrolls are divided into three levels: blue, purple, and gold. Gold is the highest level, has the best effect, and is the rarest!
Abyss Gazer: Boss, can we discuss something? We're willing to trade you a complete Blue Scroll and three Gold Scroll Fragments... for a week's worth of food and clean water, plus fifty units of basic fuel! What do you think? You just consumed so much, so food and fuel must be tight, right? We're sincere!
Looking at the message sent by the other party, Lu Ye's mouth curled up in a playful arc.
A blue scroll and three gold fragments? Just want to exchange them for a week's worth of supplies?
He looked down at the three heavy, glittering golden scrolls in his hands.
What about sending away beggars?
Lu Ye didn't even bother to reply.
At this moment, Su Baiyue on the lookout suddenly shouted.
"Brother Lu! There's a ship approaching from the left front! It's not going very fast, it looks like the Xue Cheng we met last time!"
Lu Ye looked up and saw, as expected, a modified medium-sized fishing boat cautiously approaching the Breaking Waves and stopping at a safe distance. A familiar voice, tinged with caution and nervousness, came from the loudspeaker.
"Brother Lu... Lu Ye! It's me, Xue Cheng! I mean no harm! I just want to come and make a deal with you!"
It was Xue Cheng, the man whom I had met once before in the "Novice Trial" area and later dealt with in the trading channel.
"Oh? Boss Xue." Lu Ye put down the scroll, walked to the side of the ship, and looked at the other ship which had obviously experienced the baptism of wind and waves.
"Tell me, what do you want to trade?"
Xue Cheng was obviously relieved to see Lu Ye was willing to talk to him, and he spoke quickly.
"Brother Lu Ye! I know you're incredibly powerful, so I won't beat around the bush! I'll trade two [Blue Class Skill Enhancement Scrolls] for some food and basic resources! I know your ship is large, so you must have plenty of supplies. Even though you've consumed a lot just now, you're sure you still have quite a bit left! Give me a hand, brother!"
His tone was pleading, and it was obvious that these two blue scrolls had become his most important possessions.
Lu Ye touched his chin, looked at Xue Cheng, and glanced at the few boxes on the deck that had not been opened.
This guy is much more sincere than those people in the group.
Moreover, the two blue scrolls…even though I don’t think highly of them, maybe they can be useful to Chen Shu or Xiao Yiyi?
