“Long live Lu Chen!”
“Lu Chen, you are our pride!”
“Invincible in the world, Lu Chen is the strongest!”
“Lu Chen, I love you!”
“Godfather, I'm your son!”
At this moment, the Netherworld was surrounded by all the Evolutionists in the 1000th District, like a triumphant hero.
Cheers were endless,
and the eyes of everyone shone with the light of worship and fanaticism.
“Hehe, hehe, everyone is too polite, this is what we on the Netherworld should do,”
Jack waved his hand pretending to be humble, then approached Lu Chen, chuckling in a low voice,
“Oh, Captain, so you're called Lu Chen, it seems you're very popular here. Look, there are so many beauties here, should we consider recruiting a few?”
“Even if I recruit them, what can you do?”
Lu Chen rolled his eyes at Jack,
This Jack, he's already become an Undead, and still hasn't given up his lustful thoughts.
Amidst the cheers of the crowd,
the Du Jiao Xi Niu (Unicorn Rhinoceros) Hao slowly sailed to the front of the Netherworld,
Yang Zimo's hearty laughter rang out, like a spring breeze blowing across the face,
“Hahaha, Lu Chen, we finally meet! I've always reminded myself not to underestimate you, but you constantly exceed my expectations, you truly are a young hero!”
Long Haoran patted Zhou Yu's shoulder, saying jokingly with a playful look:
“Study master, haven't you always been clamoring to challenge Lu Chen? Well, now the opportunity is right before your eyes, don't chicken out!”
Zhou Yu quickly shook his head, shaking his head like a rattle-drum, with a bitter smile on his face,
“No, no, I wouldn't dare. Let alone Lu Chen's earth-shattering shot just now, even those drowned ones and skeletons, I probably can't handle them.”
“Hahahaha...”
The people on the Du Jiao Xi Niu (Unicorn Rhinoceros) Hao heard this and immediately burst into waves of laughter.
Looking at Yang Zimo and the others,
Lu Chen nodded friendly.
“Hello.”
He knew deeply that it was truly not easy for these people, when facing the Fusang People who had won a survival gamble token once, to still be able to unite the Divine Xia and fight inextricably with the Fusang People.
This resilience and courage also earned Lu Chen's respect.
“Xinyi Jie, look quickly, Lu Chen is waving at us!”
Fan Yingying excitedly shook Li Xinyi's arm, her cheeks flushed with shyness.
Li Xinyi also stared blankly at Lu Chen, her eyes shimmering with complex light,
“Lu Chen, about the ghost ship last time, I've always wanted to apologize to you...”
Before Li Xinyi finished speaking, Jack, with a face of rotten flesh, suddenly interrupted, with a bit of surprise: “Wow, beauties, it's you, I still remember you!”
“Uh, so scary~”
Fan Yingying was startled by Jack's appearance and quickly took a few steps back.
Although she knew this was Lu Chen's subordinate,
but the terrifying aura emitted by the Tier 4 Undead still made Fan Yingying's little face turn pale.
“Don't be scared, sis, I didn't used to look like this, I...”
As Jack spoke, he wanted to change back to the appearance of Jack Ben Shan,
However, after glancing at Lu Chen, he dejectedly dismissed the idea.
Last time, just because of his appearance, he was severely beaten once by the Captain,
Alas, being handsome also has its troubles, leaders will be jealous...
Immediately after, Jack changed the topic and said with a smile:
“Hehe, two great beauties, would you consider joining our Netherworld? On the ship right now, it's just me and the Captain, those four skeletons are all brainless guys.”
Having beauties like Li Xinyi and Fan Yingying accompanying us, although we can't do anything (with them), but just looking at them every day is pleasing to the eye!
Facing Jack's invitation,
Li Xinyi unexpectedly nodded.
She looked at Lu Chen, her red lips slightly parted,
her voice was low and magnetic, like intoxicating red wine,
“Okay, Lu Chen, can I join your Netherworld, become your crew member?”
As soon as these words came out, a chorus of gasps immediately rose around,
“Wow, is Li Xinyi Dalao going to join Lu Chen's team?”
“That's truly a strong alliance, with Lu Chen's protection, Li Xinyi Dalao is a walking arsenal!”
“They are truly a perfect match, in our district, only Li Xinyi is worthy of Lu Chen!”
Hearing Li Xinyi's words, Jack was so excited he almost jumped up,
There are beauties, there are beauties!
Woo woo, I said following the Overseer is much better than being on that broken ghost ship,
It's only been a few days, and I'm going to have beauties accompanying me.
However, Lu Chen's next words were like a basin of cold water poured on Jack's head, making him instantly freeze.
“Sorry, I don't plan to recruit any Human crew members.”
Lu Chen's tone was cold and firm, and he glared fiercely at Jack,
This bastard just loves causing him trouble.
“Why, Captain?”
Jack still wanted to say something, but after seeing Lu Chen's increasingly cold gaze, he immediately shrank his neck and shut up.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, a chorus of disappointment and lamentation immediately rose around,
“Ah, Lu Chen actually doesn't recruit Human crew members?”
“Woo woo woo... My biggest dream was to become Lu Chen's crew member, it's over, my dream is shattered...”
“I was just figuring out how to apply to join, why is this?”
“Alas, in the end, it's because our strength is insufficient, look at the Ghost Captain under Lord Lu Chen's command, how strong he is.”
Li Xinyi heard this and was also startled, as if something had gently knocked in her heart,
I was rejected...
Am I too weak?
Looking at Lu Chen's handsome face, Li Xinyi's heart unexpectedly surged with a huge sense of loss,
She couldn't help but clench her fists,
Lu Chen, I will definitely work hard to meet your requirements!
Yang Zimo was not surprised by Lu Chen's rejection.
Given Lu Chen's strength,
if he wanted to recruit crew members, he would have recruited them long ago, why would he wait until now?
He lightly coughed and asked in a steady tone,
“Lu Chen, what is your next plan?”
“Become stronger, constantly become stronger, until I stand at the peak of this world!”
Lu Chen responded calmly.
The shocking scene of Overseer Robbery slaying the thousand-meter-tall three-eyed giant demon with a single sword reappeared in his mind,
That kind of power is what he truly yearns for!
“Lu Chen, since something like a survival gamble token has appeared, presumably the challenges we encounter in the future will only increase,”
“Your potential is the strongest in our 1000th District,”
“Therefore, I suggest you don't take any more risks and stay here. Currently, your appeal is unmatched, I will do my best to persuade everyone to concentrate all resources in the 1000th District sea area and fully support you alone.”
Yang Zimo paused slightly, his gaze swept across the entire scene,
“Moreover, have you all noticed that the energy required to level up from Level 2 to Level 3 jumped from 100 points to 300 points, tripling,”
“And reaching Level 4 requires an astonishing 1000 points!”
“This means that if we rely on upgrading ships to escape the poisonous fog after 7 days, I'm afraid among our nearly thousand people, only a single digit number will survive,”
“Because, except for a prodigy like Lu Chen, no one can defeat an 8th-tier sea beast within 7 days and thus obtain an 8th-tier crystal core to upgrade their ship,”
“If we want everyone to survive, we only have one way, which is to constantly win the survival gamble token,”
“until the storm outside the sea area is reduced to nothing!”
