Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

"Huh?"

Wang Qing let out a light exclamation, instantly startling all the crew members into a panic.

During the cruise, although everyone was chatting and laughing, as soon as something happened, they would all instantly enter battle readiness, nerves on edge.

"What's wrong, Wang Qing!"

Some crew members widened their eyes, already prepared to grab their weapons and go into combat mode.

Even Fang Yu stood up from his seat, gazing at Wang Qing above him with a questioning look.

"Uh... nothing."

However, what surprised everyone was...

Wang Qing scratched his head, then, with a face full of embarrassment, said to everyone.

"If there's nothing wrong, why did you scare us like that, damn it!"

"Damn, this kid gave a false alarm, as per rules, he should be punished!"

"Beat him up, beat him up, for startling us like that!"

Everyone instantly became displeased, looking furious, and without a word, wanted to climb onto the ship to give Wang Qing a good beating.

"Hey, guys, I didn't say there was an enemy situation!"

Looking at the crew members who were about to climb up, Wang Qing couldn't help but shiver, speaking softly.

"If there's no enemy situation, then what was that 'huh' for?"

Their eyes didn't kindly look at Wang Qing, implying he still might get dragged down for a beating.

"I just, when I touched the telescope, suddenly felt something different, strange inside, so I couldn't help but make a sound."

Wang Qing shook his head, speaking very seriously to everyone.

"Felt something different when touching the telescope? How could a telescope be different?"

"Are you just making excuses?"

Everyone was stunned and then looked puzzled at Wang Qing.

"No, it's not!"

Wang Qing quickly said: "I suddenly felt... the telescope seemed to come alive..."

"The distance I can see through the telescope increased..."

Wang Qing's eyes were dazed, speaking in a soft, uncertain voice.

Although he was very uncertain about this life-giving thing, just now, when Wang Qing looked into the distance, his vision indeed increased, making him internally astonished.

His ability hadn't changed, so the only possibility for improved vision was some enhancement to the telescope...

What kind of enhancement?

Wang Qing was confused, but he did feel as if the telescope had "come alive."

"The telescope came alive?"

Everyone was stunned, suddenly showing strange expressions.

Based on their usual habit of bantering, if someone said something like "the telescope suddenly came alive," they wouldn't believe it and would instead make fun of it.

However, this time, after hearing Wang Qing's words, everyone instead showed a thoughtful expression.

"You don't say... I've really felt the ship acting a bit off lately."

Ma muttered, causing several others to nod repeatedly.

"I feel the same... Earlier when I was moving supplies, I always felt like someone was watching me from the cargo hold, scaring me into quickly leaving."

"Damn, so it's not just me. When I went to the bathroom, it felt as if the toilet had come to life."

"The toilet came to life?"

Everyone showed strange expressions, looking at Luo Kuan: "What, Luo Kuan, did the toilet wipe your ass for you?"

"Screw you! I'm serious!"

Luo Kuan got angry and embarrassed.

After hearing the crew's discussion, Fang Yu couldn't help but smile, casually saying: "Everyone, the ship has undergone some changes. Recently, if you feel anything unusual, don't be surprised because our ship has been Soul Transformed."

"Soul Transformed?"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, Soul Transformed."

Fang Yu nodded and briefly explained the concept of Soul Transformation to everyone.

But he didn't explain too clearly, because this Soul Transformation wasn't reflected in the panel's numbers; the panel didn't seem to detect this change.

Fang Yu himself was discussing with Cheng Peng and exploring the changes brought by Soul Transformation.

According to Cheng Peng, the abilities brought on by Soul Transformation were very complex, but the most straightforward was the individual transformation of ship components.

As long as Fang Yu's mind willed it, a component of the ship could emit life waves, greatly enhancing each of its indicators.

The increase was about...

50%!

Very abnormal.

But due to the current low degree of Soul Transformation, the ship's "soul" wasn't yet strong enough, so it could only barely act on one component, and the duration was only around 20 minutes.

It seems... the "soul" can also get tired.

As for how to strengthen the "soul" of the ship, Cheng Peng and even the corporation were still exploring, without giving Fang Yu a perfect answer.

Right now... the crew's feelings weren't wrong at all.

Their sense of strangeness naturally came from the ship's Soul Transformation.

"That's so awesome?!"

Several people widened their eyes, reached out to touch the ship's components, and subconsciously said: "Can I talk to the ship now?"

"It's not that exaggerated; the ship has gained life, but actually doesn't have much thinking ability."

Fang Yu shook his head; he could sense the ship's soul, but this soul was just a kind of nimbleness, in reality, the ship had no brain or nerves, so it naturally wouldn't think about anything.

...

The ship, surprisingly, had gained a soul.

This made the bunch of brutes find it very novel, checking it out every day.

Unexpectedly, some had even started shouting silly lines at the ship.
