CHAPTER 146: CHAPTER 140: INTERMEDIATE RADIANT STAR STONE

In the next moment, Fang Yu’s eyes widened:

"Slaying the [Star Beast King], the whole team gains 10,000 experience points, receives money +1500 Silver Coins, receives a Junior-level Radiant Star Stone +1, and receives Basic-level Starlight Stone Fragments +5."

"The captain receives an Intermediate Radiant Star Stone +1, Junior-level Radiant Star Stones +2, Basic-level Starlight Stone Fragments +5."

"Acquired title [Star Hunter], equipping this title increases ship cannon’s star damage by 15% and damage to shields by 10%."

"Intermediate Radiant Star Stone?!"

Fang Yu’s eyes brightened as he looked at the different descriptions of the Junior-level and Intermediate Radiant Star Stones.

[Junior-level Radiant Star Stone]: Can evolve Extraordinary Ability once.

[Intermediate Radiant Star Stone]: Can evolve Extraordinary Ability in the second phase, requiring the Transcendent level to exceed level 30 before use.

This is a huge profit. It’s said that a Junior-level Radiant Star Stone costs thousands of Silver Coins, though you can still accumulate fragments to acquire one.

It is not that difficult to obtain.

But the Intermediate Radiant Star Stone is valued at even hundreds of times that of the Junior-level.

This item has no fragments and can only be obtained through special channels.

Each one is priceless, worth its weight in gold.

Even corporations can’t fully ensure they can get their hands on them.

Furthermore, this time killing the Beast King yields a reward richer by far than slaying a Star Beast, with 10,000 experience points and 1500 Silver Coins.

The people on the ship all leveled up with this 10,000 experience points, instantly gaining a solid and energetic aura.

Originally, this was shared profit among several captains.

Now that the Beast King was killed by Fang Yu’s single ship, all the proceeds were consolidated into an extremely rich profit.

...

As the Beast King died, the starlight in the sky gradually dissipated.

The long-missing sun returned to the sky, and the warm sunlight flooded down, bringing coolness to all the navigators.

Fang Yu’s injury, in fact, was not from the Beast King’s attack, but from the explosion of his Stacked Energy Bullets.

The first round was okay.

In the second round, several bullets had annihilation effects, and the power that exploded not only decimated the Beast King.

But Fang Yu, who was inside the Beast King, was implicated due to being too close.

If the power hadn’t been of the same origin, this explosive force might have killed Fang Yu on the spot.

Even so, the shield around Fang Yu shattered in an instant, and a large amount of force fell on him, leaving Fang Yu with wounds all over his body.

Fortunately, the treatment scrolls combined with the recovery talents of the crew acted on Fang Yu, allowing him to quickly recover from a heavy injury.

Magically, at this moment, his wounds had scabbed over, and there was an itchy feeling.

It should take only a few days for the serious injuries to gradually heal.

Fang Yu struggled to get up and piloted the ship slowly towards the shore of Qingyue Island.

"Are you Fang Yu? I’m Shi Jun!"

At this moment, a clear voice came from the side, and then Fang Yu saw Shi Jun steering his ship, appearing silently beside the Salted Fish.

At this moment, Shi Jun stood at the bow of his ship, looking complexly at Fang Yu, who had just stabilized his injuries and stood up with effort, and then shouted aloud.

Hearing Shi Jun’s words, Fang Yu glanced at him and nodded slightly, considering it as a greeting.

"You are indeed strong and capable. In the future, if there’s a chance, perhaps we can collaborate more!"

Shi Jun looked Fang Yu up and down, finally speaking after a while.

There wasn’t a trace of regret or sorrow on his face.

It seemed that the glory of slaying the Beast King being taken away by Fang Yu was nothing to him; he seemed more interested in competing with a powerful adversary.

Originally, Fang Yu was in too much pain to bother with Shi Jun and the others.

But after hearing Shi Jun, he was somewhat surprised, remaining patient to chat with Shi Jun for a bit longer.

The two quickly added each other as friends on the forum, and Shi Jun looked at Fang Yu’s wounds and nodded: "You’re still injured, so I won’t delay you any longer."

"After the Star Removal Association, I should invest my energy in the main quest [Alien War] at Qiyun Port. If you’re interested, you can team up with me to bring this main quest to completion."

Shi Jun, known as a task maniac, although he didn’t emerge as the biggest winner in this competition, reaped plentifully.

He didn’t linger on a single task failure but quickly set his sights on the next task.

Eager to start the next task’s process right away.

Only with such a mindset can Shi Jun break through the powerful competitive pressure and enter the power rankings without any background as a ship captain.

After hearing Shi Jun’s words, Fang Yu showed no opinion but still nodded towards Shi Jun, preparing to say more after returning to Qiyun Port...

...

"Captain Fang Yu! Hello, I am from the Yunlong Consortium. Are you interested in joining us? If you join Yunlong Consortium, you can immediately receive an A-level contract with many benefits..."

"Captain Fang Yu, would you be willing to sell your Intermediate Star Shining Stone? Our Li Clan is willing to buy it for 150,000 Silver Coins."

"Captain Fang Yu, you don’t need the Intermediate Star Shining Stone right now; why not leave it to us? We can auction it for you; the price will surely satisfy you, definitely more than 150,000 Silver Coins..."

As soon as the Salted Fish docked, a group of consortium representatives gathered around, their eyes fervently fixed on Fang Yu.

Some consortiums wanted to invite Fang Yu to join them.

Some consortiums wanted to buy the Intermediate Radiant Star Stone Fang Yu obtained this time.

There were also ordinary captains coming up, wanting to add Fang Yu as a friend to be led on the next task.

This time at the Star Removal Association, Fang Yu’s goal was merely to earn Radiant Star Stones.

But with every move showcasing various abilities and bottom cards, he had long become renowned among a crowd of consortiums and captains.

At this moment, the crowd surrounding him all cast eager eyes towards Fang Yu.

But Fang Yu paid no attention to these consortiums and captains scurrying over; his eyes searched through the crowd until he found a skinny figure.

"Li Lin, you come!"

Without another word, Fang Yu directly pulled Li Lin over, and then looked at Li Lin with a menacing expression: "Did you forget something?"

Li Lin was in the middle of live streaming and immediately ducked his head when Fang Yu yanked him over.

Then he chuckled at Fang Yu and said, "How could I forget? Rest assured, brother, for a captain with potential, I can never afford to offend!"

"Here, this is 3,000 Silver Coins, for you!"

Li Lin shook his head, then handed 3,000 Silver Coins to Fang Yu.

Before the betting started, Fang Yu had invested 2,000 Silver Coins on himself.

At this point, Fang Yu didn’t even need to confirm, knowing he was absolutely the biggest winner from the bet.

With odds of 1:1.5.

Investing 2,000 in, gaining 1,000, now Li Lin gave him his rightful 3,000 Silver Coins.

However...

Fang Yu glanced at Li Lin, displeased: "No bonus? You made so much, I deserve some credit, right?"

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Li Lin’s face stiffened, then he lightly coughed and said seriously: "Brother, this is legitimate business earnings, we agreed on terms."

"This is my business baseline; I absolutely refrain from underhand tactics."

"If I gave you a bonus, wouldn’t other brothers who bet view me? Wouldn’t they accuse me of insider operations, losing trust?"

"Businessmen value trust. Sorry, brother, I can’t give you the bonus."

Seeing Li Lin’s serious expression, Fang Yu was a bit surprised.

Never thought this guy was so rigid?

But Fang Yu casually mentioned, without intending to seriously argue with Li Lin over the matter.

Fang Yu nodded and said nothing more, exchanging friends with Li Lin, then prepared to turn and leave.

Before Fang Yu could take two steps, Li Lin trotted behind.

Then, under Fang Yu’s bewildered gaze, Li Lin smirked and handed Fang Yu 2,000 Silver Coins.

"Wait... buddy, what’s this money for? I thought you had your business baseline?"

Fang Yu looked at Li Lin, puzzled.

Faced with Fang Yu’s peculiar gaze, Li Lin straightened his back, his expression unflinching, casually saying: "Brother, I was live streaming just now; everyone was watching, had to keep it proper."

"Now that the stream’s off... who cares about rules!"

Fang Yu: ...
