Just as Lu Chen was about to speak,
heaven's oracle's voice suddenly rang out again:
【heaven's oracle Announcement: Fellow Evolutionists, congratulations on surviving until now. In 4 days and 23 hours, all Newbie Sea Areas will release poisonous gas.】
【Evolutionists, please race against time, upgrade your ships, and sail out of the Newbie Sea Area.】
【Effective immediately, all survival gamble tokens and invasion tokens are invalid. All Evolutionists can now focus on improving their strength and upgrading their ships.】
Only 5 days remained until heaven's oracle released the poisonous fog.
If they couldn't upgrade their ships to Single-masted sailing ships within this timeframe,
they would have no choice but to wait for death.
For most people, this was undoubtedly a desperate end.
However, the people of the 1000th District looked relaxed,
without any fear,
because,
the storm outside the 1000 Sea Territory,
had all dissipated due to Lu Chen's continuous victories in the survival gamble.
Everyone could now sail out of the Newbie Sea Area with any level of ship,
Everyone could survive now.
Therefore, instead of any anxiety, their faces were filled with regret,
"Ah, heaven's oracle just had to cancel the survival gamble at this time. Otherwise, with our current strength, we could have plundered a lot of attribute points through the survival gamble."
"Hahaha, be content. We gained a total of 260 attribute points from the survival gamble throughout. This is enough to make people in other sea areas die of envy."
"There are still over 200 Xiao Riben people barely surviving over there. Let's give them another survival gamble, guaranteed to wipe them all out!"
"Don't worry, don't worry. Although they didn't die, having so many attributes plundered, they definitely won't last 5 days."
Just as everyone was joking,
heaven's oracle's voice rang out again,
【Reminder: After the poisonous fog is released, Executioners will appear outside the Newbie Sea Area.】
【Reminder: Executioners are Level 50 Boss-level creatures and will randomly execute 50% of Evolutionists.】
【Reminder: Upgrading your fleet power to Level 2 will unlock the Protective Array special ship. The Protective Array can evade the Executioner's execution.】
【Finally, I wish all Evolutionists good luck.】
The smiles on the faces of the people who had been relaxed instantly froze,
The sea surface was immediately filled with curses,
"Damn it, I knew it, this damned heaven's oracle wouldn't want us to have it easy. We just managed to solve the threat of the poisonous fog, and before we could catch our breath, it gives us an Executioner!"
"This... this Executioner is actually a Level 50 Boss? That's too powerful, how are we supposed to fight it?"
"Fight? Didn't you understand heaven's oracle's meaning? This Executioner is completely irresistible to us. heaven's oracle wants us to upgrade the Nether Fleet to Level 2 and build the Protective Array special ship to evade the Executioner's execution!"
"But... based on my understanding of heaven's oracle, upgrading the fleet to Level 2 will definitely not be easy."
"Heh, brother, you really have a jinx mouth. I just looked at the fleet power interface. To upgrade Netherworld to Level 2, we need 10 Single-masted sailing ships, 100 Level 10 Evolutionists, 1000 plunder points, and the fleet members must be no less than 500..."
As soon as these words were spoken,
The sea surface fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were filled with shock,
"100 Level 10 Evolutionists? I... did I hear that right??"
"Damn it, it really is 100 Level 10 Evolutionists, is heaven's oracle crazy? We only have a little over 4 days left, where are we going to find so many experts!"
"Uh... can someone tell me how much life energy it takes to go from Level 9 to Level 10..."
"160,000..."
"Damn it!"
"heaven's oracle is clearly trying to take half our lives!"
Just as everyone was wailing,
Yang Zimo snorted coldly,
and reprimanded sternly,
"Hmph, you are all now members of Blue Star's top power. Encountering this little difficulty and complaining, are you worthy of the strength Nether Lord has given you!"
As soon as Yang Zimo finished speaking, everyone lowered their heads in shame.
Yes, Netherworld Master just gave everyone 400 free attributes.
As long as they were willing to fight desperately,
it was still possible to reach Level 10 within 5 days.
Yang Zimo scanned the surroundings, finally looking at Lu Chen, and said respectfully,
"Nether Lord, upgrading the fleet requires three conditions: 10 Single-masted sailing ships and a hundred Level 10 Evolutionists, which we might be able to achieve. It's the 1000 plunder points that will be difficult to get. Please arrange Netherworld's next course of action."
Hearing Yang Zimo's words,
Lu Chen nodded.
Yang Zimo was indeed a former police officer, seeing the key to the matter at a glance.
The Single-masted sailing ships and the hundred Evolutionists were easy to handle.
After all,
the 400 attribute points each person just received were not for show.
As long as they weren't lazy and dared to fight desperately, Lu Chen believed it would be simple to gather a hundred Level 10 Evolutionists within 5 days.
But plunder points were different.
Plunder points could only be obtained by plundering other forces.
In other words, to upgrade the fleet, Netherworld was bound to conflict with the native forces of Tian Yu World.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen looked at Yang Zimo and said calmly,
"Yang Zimo, Li Xinyi, I appoint the two of you as Netherworld's Deputy Commanders."
"Your task from now on is to lead the Netherworld members in leveling up."
Saying this, Lu Chen waved his right hand,
A ray of light surged into the Du Jiao Xi Niu (Unicorn Rhinoceros) Hao beneath Yang Zimo's feet.
"I have set the Du Jiao Xi Niu (Unicorn Rhinoceros) Hao as the Netherworld base ship. Everyone can teleport back near the base ship at any time."
Yang Zimo was immediately puzzled:
"Nether Lord, are you... not coming with us?"
Lu Chen glanced at Yang Zimo, his voice flat,
"You just need to lead everyone in leveling up. I have my own things to do. Come find me if you encounter problems you can't solve."
Speaking of this, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in Lu Chen's eyes.
A Level 50 Boss-level Executioner,
If he killed it,
He should be able to get great benefits, right?
That's right,
From the moment he heard the heaven's oracle announcement,
Lu Chen had never thought about evading the Executioner's execution.
You are an Executioner, and I am an Overseer.
A Level 50 Boss is a bit difficult to deal with now.
But that might not be the case after 5 days.
"Yes,"
After respectfully agreeing, Yang Zimo took another step forward and suggested,
"Nether Lord, your Netherworld only has the Ghost Captain. Do you think you should recruit some more Evolutionists from Netherworld onto the Netherworld?"
Hearing Yang Zimo's words, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.
Nether Lord is so powerful. Being able to board the Netherworld, like the Ghost Captain, and become Nether Lord's close follower was the desire of many.
For a time, many people volunteered:
"Nether Lord, let me follow you. I am good at killing enemies and will definitely not disappoint you."
"Lu Chen Gege, I... I've never been in love. You're missing an arm now, life must be inconvenient. Let me take care of you~"
"Godfather, take me with you. I can't leave you~"
Seeing this scene, Li Xinyi couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, her lips slightly parting.
However, in the end, she said nothing.
She knew that Lu Chen would probably not recruit any Human crew members this time, just like before.
