CHAPTER 226: CHAPTER 169: THE DEATH OF YUAN QING AND THE LEAK

[Thick Armor Breathing lv.5→10 (Intermediate Enchantment, max)]:

Effect 1: The ship can repair itself through thick armor breathing, with a repair speed of: 10%→20% durability/minute.

Effect 2: By absorbing ocean energy, it forms Light Shield Armor, with a basic energy level of: 800→1800 points. The additional energy level granted to the armor is: 10→20X captain’s energy level, and the armor can cover the entire ship.

Effect 3: Damage is consistently reduced by 15%→20%, and after the damage energy level exceeds 400 points, it can automatically purify negative effects and has a 25%→50% probability of repairing 150→200 points of energy level damage.

And Luo Kuan’s leadership skills have also changed accordingly:

Proficiency increase: 20%

Accuracy increase: 25%

Seeing the changes in the coefficients of Thick Armor Breathing, Fang Yu couldn’t help but take a deep breath, his eyes twinkling with light.

Why do I suddenly feel...

This enchantment ability, as Lord Points are invested, gradually becomes...ridiculously powerful?

The 20% damage reduction is impressive enough; anyone who has used percentage damage reduction knows its power.

The most transformative is actually this other ability:

When the automatic purification effect is triggered, there is a 50% probability of recovering 200 points of shield energy level.

The automatic purification effect triggers once the critical threshold of 400 points is reached.

If the 50% recovery effect is triggered simultaneously, it means that the damage is essentially blocked by 50%, effectively only reducing the shield energy level by 200 points.

The key is that the probability is quite high, reaching half.

This skill completely elevates the defensive capability to another level, making Fang Yu now feel...

His ship vaguely has a kind of turtle shell feeling.

Spending 6 Lord Points significantly enhanced the shield ability, bringing peace to Fang Yu’s heart.

He turned his gaze to his experience panel.

Level: 20 (92k/170k)→(140k/170k)

This increased experience comes from previously leading the army in battles against pirates, gaining experience from destroying pirate ships.

At that time, over 100 ships were destroyed, excluding the pirate leader’s ship, each provided 200 points of experience.

While the amount isn’t much, it couldn’t be helped; pirate ships are cheap, second-hand vessels, lacking in quality, hence the experience couldn’t be abundant.

Fortunately, the quantity was sufficient.

Even mosquito meat adds up, eventually bringing Fang Yu over 20,000 to nearly 30,000 experience points.

As for the other experience points...

Just as he was thinking, Fang Yu and the crew on the Salted Fish suddenly heard a notification sound from the panel:

"Sharp Blade Army sunk a [Warlord Vessel], gaining experience +1000 points, and money +50 Silver Coins."

"Lord gains military merit +10..."

Upon hearing this sound, both Fang Yu and the crew of the Salted Fish couldn’t help but show satisfied smiles.

Free experience is simply delightful!

During the time Fang Yu arrived at the Lighthouse Association to meet with the Black Snake Gang leader, Li Chongjing led the army to Yunjiji Island.

By now, they should have started the campaign, directly providing Fang Yu and others with the experience of sinking a ship.

This is practically a top-level experience card.

As long as this army is stationed on Sea Ore Island, it can continuously provide Fang Yu with experience.

Along with the continuously growing [Sharp Blade Growth] (enhancement coefficient has already reached a full 11.4% damage boost for everyone.)

With experience and army boosts,

The military power augmentation for the Blue Star Captain is just this powerful; otherwise, those top-ranking captains wouldn’t all rush to Qiyun Port upon hearing they could gain military power.

And they even devised ways to seize military power.

With Li Chongjing leading the army in conquest, Fang Yu and the others just have to sit back and wait for the experience to roll in.

Even while sailing at sea, they can gain experience.

Presumably, by the time they reach Yunjiji Island and meet up with Li Chongjing and others, the experience on Fang Yu’s panel will be enough to level him up to 21.

...

While investing Lord Points into enchantments, Fang Yu did not stay stagnant.

Instead, he piloted his ship, speeding towards a nearby small island.

From a distance of thousands of nautical miles, Fang Yu naturally couldn’t contact Kong Huaao.

The natives are not as convenient as the Blue Star Captain, who has forums and friend functions for long-distance contact.

Even though the Alchemist Association is always trying to crack a long-distance communication method across the ocean range.

The powerful ocean energy also brings along various chaotic energy waves, interfering with signals.

As a result, once outside the Safe Sea Region, ships are basically without any signal.

However, Fang Yu had heard earlier that some scientists from Blue Star have entered this world, seemingly attempting to combine Blue Star technology with Alchemical technology from the Ocean World.

Launching several satellites built with advanced Alchemical technology into the sky to solve the issue.

However, so far, all efforts seem to end in failure; the space outside this world’s atmosphere is filled with chaotic energies, even more terrifying, dissolving the Alchemical technology satellites sent up before they even start to work.

So at this point...using the clumsy method of marathon-style message relay is the only option.

When Fang Yu arrived at this small Sea Ore Island guarded by the Duorong Federation sergeant, he embedded some agreements and detailed cooperation methods with the Black Snake Gang leader into a small chip and handed it to the sergeant in front of him, saying:
