Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 553 - 288: Caught Off Guard, the Hidden One’s Flaw

Chapter 553: Chapter 288: Caught Off Guard, the Hidden One’s Flaw

"Gentlemen, when I previously delivered goods to Ye Qingdao, there were only two extraordinary ships on the island. At that time, we even took a group photo with these two ships."

"Perhaps Kong Huaao’s identity is very important, so another ship has been dispatched for suppression."

"However, regardless, to the southeast of Ye Qingdao, there is a large reef group, which usually is not patrolled by ships, considered a blind spot in Ye Qingdao’s surveillance."

At this moment, in the captain’s cabin of Fang Yu’s ship, Fang Yu, Cheng Peng, and Qi Dongdong sat facing each other, with an aerial view map of the island placed in the middle, clearly marked with the words "Ye Qingdao."

After resting for a day, Cheng Peng and Fang Yu downloaded the aerial view map of Ye Qingdao from the forum and began planning the rescue strategy for Kong Huaao.

"A reef group? Are you sure?"

Fang Yu asked in a calm voice.

"I’m sure. My former captain took us to thoroughly understand the sea areas around Ye Qingdao, specifically marking them for us," Qi Dongdong replied.

Previously part of a newbie captain’s cargo ship, Qi Dongdong had taken on a mission to deliver supplies to Ye Qingdao.

However, later, the newbie captain’s ship was seized, and everyone on the ship was thrown off, becoming crew members without a ship.

At this moment, Qi Dongdong played his role, sharing all his familiarity with Ye Qingdao with Fang Yu and Cheng Peng.

After hearing Qi Dongdong’s words, Fang Yu and Cheng Peng exchanged a look, directing their gaze to the southeast position of Ye Qingdao.

Is that sea area indeed a surveillance blind spot in Ye Qingdao?

If they wanted to attack, should they enter from here and conduct a surprise assault?

"Earlier, I acquired a scroll that can temporarily eliminate adverse sea conditions ahead, allowing us to ignore the reef group and successfully break through to the beach near Ye Qingdao," Cheng Peng said softly, his eyes very calm.

"But... after we break through near Ye Qingdao, how should we act?" Cheng Peng’s gaze turned to Fang Yu, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"After that?"

Fang Yu gazed at the island map in front of him, a strange gleam in his eyes, then spoke softly, "We’ll know when we get there."

Cheng Peng and Qi Dongdong exchanged a glance, both seeing a look of astonishment in each other’s eyes.

...

"Buzz!"

After Fang Yu and Cheng Peng devised the strategy for this mission, their ships quietly vanished from Maga Island under the cover of night, sailing towards the dark depths of the sea.

Along the way, Fang Yu stood on the deck, feeling the sea breeze, his gaze fixed on his panel.

Seeing the experience bar on the panel, Fang Yu was slightly surprised.

For the past two days, he had been busy with resources and enhancement, not paying much attention to the experience bar.

But just now, with a casual glance at his experience bar, he discovered... the experience needed after Level 40 wasn’t much higher than at Level 30.

Upgrading from Level 39 to Level 40 required 4.5 million experience points.

However, going from Level 40 to Level 41 only required 4 million experience points to advance.

Is it possible that the higher the level, the fewer experience points needed?

Momentarily puzzled, Fang Yu quickly realized.

What is experience?

Ultimately, it’s merely a condition for enhancing ability.

After Level 40, the dimensions for enhancement became more diverse.

There are dimensions of power related to experience, level.

There are also dimensions of power related to pathways.

And even dimensions of power related to laws.

It wasn’t that advancement after Level 40 became easier; on the contrary, the increased diversity in the dimensions of power made it more challenging.

Though the demand for experience seemed less, those decreased parts had already been converted into other pathways requiring enhancement.

Contrarily... leveling up became even more difficult than before.

During previous discussions with Cheng Peng, Fang Yu had learned there was a hurdle at Level 44, requiring that all selected pathways advance to the first stage to level up to Level 45.

There’s another hurdle at Level 49, requiring all chosen pathways to advance to the second stage to reach Level 50, achieving the extraordinary rank.

This is the constraint of pathways for captains beyond Level 40.

"Fang Yu!"

At this moment, Cheng Peng, sailing alongside, suddenly called out to Fang Yu:

"Bro, when we reach Ye Qingdao, if there are three extraordinary ships on their side, we may not necessarily be able to overcome them."

"I can handle one of them."

"As for you..."

Cheng Peng recalled the news he saw on the forum before arriving at Maga Island, then looked at Fang Yu with a strange expression, speaking softly, "You should also be able to handle one of them, but what about the remaining one?"

Cheng Peng showed a thoughtful expression, "Are you planning to use secret treasures to temporarily hold off the remaining one?"

"But doing so carries high risks. Do you have other allies?"

Cheng Peng asked puzzledly.

He had known Fang Yu for some time and did not think Fang Yu was a reckless person. Since there was action, he must be well-prepared, but what exactly were Fang Yu’s preparations...

Upon hearing Cheng Peng’s words, Fang Yu turned his head, glanced at Cheng Peng, then shook his head with a light laugh, speaking softly,

"Peng, you just need to help me hold off one of them, and I’ll handle the other two."

"You’ll handle the other two?"
