CHAPTER 94: CHAPTER 94: THE MYSTERIOUS EGG (PART 5)

"Buzz!"

The sea ship let out a dull sound, cutting through the wind and waves, and sailed away into the distance.

After experiencing the sweet taste of a treasure map once, Fang Yu and the others set sail again, rushing towards the location of the next treasure map.

Lin Kemian lived on the sea ship and didn’t mind at all. Just having survived a marine disaster, being rescued was already a blessing, so even if Fang Yu and the others continued sailing on the sea, Lin Kemian could patiently wait.

This time, the voyage’s destination was very close to the previous treasure map’s location. Fang Yu maneuvered the sea ship, sailing for less than a day, and arrived at the marked location on the treasure map by night.

"Let’s go, Luu Yuan, continue!"

"Alright!"

The two were already well-versed, and without saying a word, they leaped into the sea.

They continued to dive deep, but this time without seaweed attacking, they quickly and smoothly retrieved the treasure chest.

"Acquired the underwater treasure, treasure map -1."

"Gained an underwater treasure chest, all crew experience +500."

"Obtained underwater treasure, triggered [Shared Wealth], the captain receives 20,000 Copper Coins, crew members receive 10,000 Copper Coins."

The familiar voice resounded once again.

The two men worked hard to deliver the treasure chest onto the sea ship.

This time, the crowd was much calmer. Although they still gathered around, their eyes couldn’t hide their curiosity, they were not as excited as the last time.

Fang Yu glanced at everyone.

Alright, alright.

Now all the crew members had a sense of excitement, feeling that these two treasure chests were more like some sort of fun card drawing behavior compared to the treasure chest’s attributes.

Spending money to draw cards is fun, continuous drawing is continuous fun!

Come on!

Everyone’s eyes lit up as they stared at Fang Yu.

Luo Kuan and Ma even set up a gambling game.

Scroll, odds 1.1:1

Gold Coin, odds 1.6:1

Extraordinary Magic Stone, odds 1.4:1

Other items, odds 1.3:1

"Come, come, place your bets, can’t go wrong, can’t be fooled, adding a touch of fun to our dull sea voyage!"

Ma Monkey held a few signs, hustled around.

All the crew members saw this and quickly placed their Copper Coins as bets.

Some bet hundreds, while the seasoned gamblers bet over a thousand Copper Coins.

At this stage, the crew members who could afford to bet thousands of Copper Coins were probably only on Fang Yu’s sea ship.

The gambling even attracted Lin Kemian, who nonchalantly threw out 100 Silver Coins, betting on the Extraordinary Magic Stone.

This startled Ma and Luo Kuan, causing their hands to tremble as they immediately adjusted the odds for the Extraordinary Magic Stone down to 1.2.

Damn, that was really terrifying!

A hundred Silver Coins equals ten thousand Copper Coins; if it really is an Extraordinary Magic Stone, selling the two of them wouldn’t cover the loss.

One could only say big shots are indeed big shots, effortlessly scaring the life out of Luo Kuan and Ma.

Lin Kemian laughed cheerfully, not caring about the odds adjustment.

"Small betting is enjoyable," this small sum is nothing to Lin Kemian, even if he wins.

He was mainly interested in the betting itself, as the sea voyage was too dull, adding some fun was good.

As for profit or loss, it didn’t matter.

"Captain... you really must not reveal an Extraordinary Magic Stone... otherwise, Luo Kuan and I might have to sell ourselves."

Ma folded his hands, almost kneeling to Fang Yu.

It made Fang Yu glance sideways at the two.

Pathetic!

"Ma, are you ready here?"

Fang Yu looked at Ma, speaking with an annoyed tone.

"Ready, ready, Captain, you can open it now!"

Ma and Luo Kuan huddled together, trembling, looking resigned.

"Alright, then I’ll open it!"

Fang Yu casually opened the treasure chest, and everyone crowded above it, peering inside.

Inside the chest was... an egg?!

"Roar!!!"

Those who bet on other items jumped up in excitement.

Great!

An egg is one of those other items, they didn’t expect this treasure chest to reveal neither a scroll nor Gold Coins but a lustrous and smooth egg.

Some people were happy while others were sad.

Those who bet on different items cursed, but had to admit defeat, casting resentful looks at Luo Kuan and Ma, who were laughing foolishly.

"Whoa! Big profit!!"

The happiest of them all was undoubtedly Luo Kuan and Ma.

It’s all about the thrill!

If it were an Extraordinary Magic Stone, they would lose even their underpants.

But since it wasn’t, it meant they made a straight profit of 100 Silver Coins.

That’s a hundred thousand Copper Coins!

Even Fang Yu eyed the two men suspiciously.

These two lucky bastards really had great fortune, but if they dared to show off afterward, Fang Yu would surely teach them the meaning of keeping a low profile.

"Ahem... Ma, quickly settle the winners, we’ll privately discuss the distribution later, the Captain’s eyes are green and sinister."

Luo Kuan pulled Ma aside, swallowing hard, and trembling, spoke urgently.

Ma froze, sneaking a peek at Fang Yu, quickly settling everyone’s accounts, and then dashed into the cabin with Luo Kuan to hide.

Dividing up a huge sum!

...

Watching everyone scatter like birds, Fang Yu picked up the egg from the chest, curiously looking at the round egg before him, muttering, "What kind of egg is this?"

On his panel, the egg had no display, only a line of text introduction:

This is a mysterious egg, no one knows what will hatch from it.

At that moment, Lin Kemian, who had lost 100 Silver Coins but didn’t really care, walked over with a smile, looking at the egg in Fang Yu’s hand, and said, "Captain Fang Yu’s treasure map, is it advanced or primary?"

"Uh... it’s primary,"

Fang Yu scratched his head, replying somewhat shyly.

"If it’s primary, then I suggest Captain Fang Yu sell this egg to a beast egg merchant in exchange for Silver Coins."

As a merchant, Lin Kemian had a sharp eye, quickly assessing the egg’s level.

"Mr. Lin, what’s the reasoning behind this?"

Lin Kemian nodded and said, "Eggs found on such primary treasure maps are not of a high tier. If Captain Fang wants to raise it, you can, but the hatched beast, if well-nurtured, could become an extraordinary lifeform, an asset to the sea ship."

"But I suggest Captain Fang raise higher-tier beast eggs. Low-tier beast eggs are suitable for beast tamers as a bulk practice, for captains to raise low-tier beast eggs, the returns aren’t cost-effective. It could be that you all reach very high levels, and the small beast has just become extraordinary."

"However, selling it to a beast egg merchant could fetch a good price of a few hundred Silver Coins."

A few hundred Silver Coins equals tens of thousands of Copper Coins.

This sale wouldn’t be a loss!

Fang Yu grinned, about to speak.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Fang Yu suddenly reacted, seeing through Wang Qing’s shared vision, he suddenly noticed a dozen cargo ships quietly breaking through the night, passing not far from the Salted Fish.

Sailing steadily towards the West Qinghai Sea Region.

At this time, how could there be cargo ships heading towards the West Qinghai Sea Region?

Haven’t they received the news of chaos in the West Qinghai Sea Region?

"Huh?"

At that moment, Fang Yu suddenly let out a puzzled noise.

Because... in the shared image, he vaguely saw a familiar ship...
