Lord Points remaining: 3!
Fang Yu’s heart was racing, his breathing became heavier, and his face revealed an expression of ecstasy.
Lord Points are considered as rewards for lord upgrades, so Dice also default that Lord Points can be doubled with the help of Dice.
For ordinary captains, each level up grants them 1 Lord Point.
But for me... it’s an average of 3.5 points!
Indeed, although the Dice has six different numbers, according to probability theory, the average of each roll is infinitely close to 3.5.
No need for a bike then?!
On the Blue Star, many consortiums have already laid the groundwork for Ocean World, forming alliances to keep warm, even using the resources of ten ships to support one super sea vessel.
The advancement speed of such sea vessels is often tremendous; initially, while everyone was dealing in bulk cargo and specialized goods, these captains already secured the most lucrative cooperation deals through the connections provided by their backing forces.
Amazingly fast upgrade rate.
But resources can support, Lord Points cannot.
No matter how wealthy, influential, or well-connected, for a captain, each level up grants just one Lord Point.
Even the godfather can’t change that.
But Fang Yu... can multiply.
Multiply how many times... Google seaʀᴄh n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
That’s quite monstrous.
Possibly, in the later stages...
All the resources and connections you amass to create top-tier captains will just meet my entry threshold...
Fang Yu quietly wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth, returning to reality.
With 3 Lord Points in hand, Fang Yu was now more lavish.
He didn’t say a word and directly invested one point in enhancing the captain’s personal growth.
"Consume 1 Lord Point, attributes double!"
A cold voice echoed, followed by Fang Yu’s Lord Ability Level rising from 1.4 to 1.8...
The intense warmth surged into Fang Yu’s body again, visibly making his physique more robust.
The small belly fat gradually disappeared, and muscles began to grow on his body; muscle lines became defined and robust, his body became agile.
An Ability Level of 1.8 was comparable to professional athletes!
Fang Yu also planned to invest the remaining Lord Points into upgrade enhancement, but was stunned to find... he couldn’t invest them.
Quickly, Fang Yu realized the situation.
Spending Lord Points is to double upgrade enhancement.
If someone exploits a bug and keeps flipping Lord Points to double multiple times, the resultant value could become monstrously high.
Clearly... the panel also recognizes this bug, so by default, only one upgrade can be invested per level.
Fang Yu felt some regret; with so many Lord Points, evolving into an ultimate stat monster would feel invincible.
Unfortunately, the path of a stat monster won’t work.
Since that’s the case, then with the other two Lord Points...
Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn’t help but push open the door and waved his hand at Ma: "Ma, come over here!"
Ma was happily being a fisherman, but upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, he was startled, then enthusiastically ran over to Fang Yu’s side: "What’s up, boss."
The next moment, under the astonished gaze of three crew members, a green light appeared in Fang Yu’s hand, which he placed on Ma’s head, leaving him bewildered.
Love is a light, green enough to make monkeys panic...
It did indeed make him panic; this green light was precisely a Lord Point.
Ma hadn’t expected Fang Yu to use his first upgrade Lord Point on him.
After all, before confirming crew loyalty, captains are generally unwilling to invest in the crew, let alone cultivate elite crew members.
Oh, this is truly the captain’s grace!
I take back all my inner gripes about the captain.
The captain isn’t stingy, unreliable, nor a capitalist exploiting fishermen and isn’t someone guilty of all wrongdoings...
Captain, from now on, Ma will swear to be your devoted follower!
Ma was moved to tears, hugging Fang Yu, crying loudly:
"You are the best captain I’ve ever seen. From now on, whatever you say, I’ll do. Even if you want me to wear women’s clothing, I’m willing. I’ll be yours forever."
Fang Yu disdainfully kicked Ma away.
I don’t swing that way, scram!
However, Fang Yu clearly underestimated the impact of his actions on the crew.
The first upgrade, investing Lord Points on the crew, in terms of Blue Star, is like the boss giving out the first pot of gold as a year-end bonus to employees.
Even if divided, it’s nothing; the employees suddenly find the boss pitifully gnawing on a bun on the roadside the same night.
Damn, who wouldn’t love that kind of boss?!
No captains would do as he did, but Fang Yu did it!
The three had no idea Fang Yu currently had more Lord Points than he could use, hence investing in valuable crew casually.
At this moment, Du Ran and Luu Yuan exchanged glances, each also slightly shaken internally.
This captain... is so good to the crew!
Today Ma was invested in, next time it could be us two brothers?
Luu Yuan and Du Ran loyalty +1...+1...+1...
Ma loyalty +999...+999...+999...
"Alright, behave, quickly check the enhancement from the Lord Point."
Fang Yu replied to Ma irritably.
Ma snapped back to reality, then cast his gaze onto his panel, loudly reporting:
"Boss, my crew’s Ability Level increased from 1.2 to 1.5. Crew attributes changed from ordinary crew to elite crew, with the creation of a leadership skill [Share Wealth]."
Fang Yu nodded; Ma’s leadership skill also updated on his vessel panel.
[Ma Shuo (Enhance +1)]
[Talent]: Basic Nautical Management
[Warehouse Utilization +15%]
[Crew generates Basic Fishing Skills]
[Leadership Skill]: Share Wealth
[When settling missions or discovering treasure, the captain gains an additional 200 Copper Coins, crew gains an additional 100 Copper Coins]
Seeing Ma’s attributes improved, Fang Yu nodded gently.
Share Wealth can be considered a decent resource-type leadership skill.
Each time a task is settled, gaining an additional 200 Copper Coins is good news, and as Fang Yu continues investing, this leadership skill will gradually strengthen; potentially, future settlements might yield Gold Coins.
Moreover, every five enhancements, an elite crew member can produce a second leadership skill.
Based on Fang Yu’s judgment and forum conclusions, Ma’s second leadership skill is very likely to be experience increase class, which is extremely important for the vessel.
Indeed... investing in oneself is crucial.
But investing in elite crew is equally rewarding...
