"Wait... this... can you really catch fish like this?"
Luu Yuan gave the rod a pull, and instantly a fat fish was yanked out from the ocean, landing on the deck and flapping around.
The three of them widened their eyes, staring at the fish on the deck, feeling somewhat incredulous.
"Nonsense, why would I lie to you?"
Fang Yu glared at the three, speaking with a hint of annoyance.
"This... isn’t scientific!"
Luu Yuan opened his eyes wide, speaking in disbelief.
The three initially didn’t believe Fang Yu; fishing on a high-speed moving sea ship is something anyone with a bit of common sense would know is impossible.
But...
The four of them sat on the deck for about ten minutes, and Luu Yuan actually managed to catch a fish.
This... wasn’t scientific at all!
"It’s not scientific... but that’s just how this world works..."
Fang Yu murmured, even he was skeptical when he saw the post.
But the old captains were very confident.
As long as there’s a fishing skill in the team, no matter how the sea ship moves, the crew can catch fish.
The principle is similar to when the skill is activated, a relatively still water field forms below the sea ship.
Alright then... this world already has extraordinary powers, with waves that can even gain consciousness and turn into deities to bombard the sea ships. So catching fish from a high-speed moving ship is nothing to make a fuss about.
"Fishing success, all members gain +1 experience, Captain Copper Coin +2, Sailor Copper Coin +1."
A voice echoed in everyone’s mind, making their eyes light up as they all looked at their fishing rods.
Alright, the captain wasn’t lying, so what’s there to say?
Fishing gains experience and rewards; only a fool wouldn’t fish!
Moreover... Luu Yuan and Du Ran exchanged a glance with Ma, knowing in their hearts that the fishing skill came from Ma.
This is one of the ways this ship shows its wealth.
Normally, which Lord can afford to hire managerial crew members at the start?
It’s precisely the managerial crew members that provide fishing skills, allowing everyone to gain experience faster than other sea ships!
Who says fishing is useless? Fishing is awesome!
Everyone got excited and dropped their rods into the sea. Even Du Ran, who wasn’t initially interested in fishing, quickly turned into a fishing enthusiast.
But soon, Fang Yu noticed...
The beginner fishing skill, it’s called beginner for a reason!
Except for Luu Yuan’s lucky catch in about ten minutes, the others sat idly for nearly half an hour before gradually catching a fish.
Frankly... it’s quite embarrassing for a fishing enthusiast.
But Fang Yu believed the issue wasn’t with the fishing technique, but that Ma’s fishing skill hadn’t been upgraded to intermediate or advanced yet.
He estimated the fishing yield to be about 3 points of experience + 6 Copper Coins/hour.
It’s mainly because small fish have no rewards. Du Ran looked brawny, but in his first attempt, he caught two small cara-mi fish.
They gave no experience at all, making Fang Yu look at Du Ran with dislike.
Firing warning!
Eventually, Du Ran targeted the bigger fish and started catching them, which improved the situation.
The yield of 3 points of experience + 6 Copper Coins/hour from fishing.
Plus 2.5 points of experience/hour from sailing.
During the day, everyone’s experience turned into 5.5/hour, greatly exceeding everyone’s expectations.
But fishing does require manpower; it’s impossible to fish non-stop 24 hours a day, so the effective fishing time is about 12 hours.
The rest of the time, rest is necessary.
So, adding it all up, the total experience gained in a day is 96 points.
This... already surpasses many initial sea ships, except for some whose captains have financial backing, powerful relatives, or special talents right from the start.
Fang Yu’s ship has surpassed most other Lords’ sea ships.
By noon the next day, Fang Yu and the other three crew members experienced their first level-up since entering this world!
"Congratulations to the Lord/Crew, reaching Level 2 and attribute enhancement."
"Congratulations to the Lord for gaining 1 Lord Point!"
Fang Yu felt a surge of warmth from within, his physical strength noticeably changing.
His strength increased, his reaction speed quickened, and even his vision extended further.
Reflected on the panel, it was.
Lord Ability Level: 1→1.4
Though it only increased by 0.4, it seems little, but... one must know that 1 Energy Level is the average ability of a normal human.
An enhancement of 0.4 significantly boosted Fang Yu’s various stats, making it quite a remarkable improvement.
According to Fang Yu’s estimation, even professional athletes might only have an energy level of 1.8-2.2.
Meaning, leveling up once brings oneself close to the level of professional athletes.
Besides personal improvement, the other crew members would also have gotten some enhancements.
But...
The advancement of the sea ship partly comes from Fang Yu’s stepwise level improvement.
Like: after Fang Yu hits Level 10, the small cargo ship will upgrade to a medium cargo ship, enhancing all aspects.
Another aspect comes from the crew’s talent enhancement.
It takes at least Level 10 for a beginner talent to upgrade to intermediate, so the crew’s increment to the sea ship hasn’t changed.
It also signifies that Level 10 marks a barrier.
Every 10 levels bring a qualitative transformation to the sea ship.
By then, whether it’s the ship’s strength or upgrade speed, it steps up a level.
Besides, for Fang Yu as a Lord, the most crucial thing is... the Lord Points!
At this moment, a Lord Point quietly rests on Fang Yu’s panel, seemingly waiting for his decision.
Just then, Fang Yu’s expression changed, and a bold idea emerged in his mind.
Perhaps... his Dice might...
Without a word, he avoided the crew and returned to his captain’s room.
Then he took out the Dice he got when he first entered this world from his pocket.
This is... the golden finger Fang Yu obtained upon entering this world.
As long as he rolls the Dice, whatever rewards Fang Yu gains will be doubled!
Two days ago, during fishing, Fang Yu rolled it once, landing a 5, multiplying the rewards by five.
However, when Fang Yu wanted to keep rolling, he found all six sides of the Dice had turned into the number 1.
Fang Yu thought for a while, realizing that the Dice’s usage is limited daily.
It can only be rolled once a day!
And today, Fang Yu hasn’t used this Dice yet.
Which means...
Today, Fang Yu can still double some kind of reward!
Without hesitation, Fang Yu rolled the Dice in his hand.
Lord Point, roll!
The Dice silently spun in the air, rotating constantly.
Finally landing on a number...
3!
