Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

"Huh?"

After sensing the emotions coming from the ship, Fang Yu couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The soul transformation of the ship, to put it simply, is to give the ship life, making it more lively.

However, having life doesn't mean it can speak, think, or produce various emotions due to its structure.

The only emotion it will produce is the most primal of life's emotions:

Desire!

The desire to grow, the desire to obtain, the desire to "eat."

Previously, Fang Yu asked Cheng Peng about how to enhance the soul transformation of the ship.

But even Cheng Peng was unsure; there has been no treasure or encounter known to definitely provide growth for the soul transformation of a ship.

Perhaps the secrets to enhancing soul transformation are held by the ancient tribal secrets, but those tribes are extremely closed off and secretive. Being able to help someone initiate soul transformation is already a big concession.

Do you want the secret of enhancing soul transformation to be passed on to the Outer Realm Captain?

Simply dreaming in broad daylight.

So all along, Fang Yu was troubled by the inability to enhance the soul transformation.

One must know... soul transformation is indeed appealing!

Attaching to a single component can directly uplift its ability to a higher level; even merchant-level components can rival vessel-level components.

Moreover, it can resist the suppressive power of Meat Mountain and restore the ship's peak strength.

There are even other wonderful uses yet to be developed by Fang Yu.

In short, for the ship, soul transformation is extremely important, representing another major enhancement path besides the numerical monster route for Salted Fish.

Now, after feeling the desire from the soul transformation, Fang Yu glanced at the place from which the attraction was emanating.

With a hint of hesitation in his eyes, he immediately adjusted the ship's course, heading full speed towards the direction indicated by the soul transformation.

Soul transformation, upgrade evolution!

This was Fang Yu's thought.

Zhang Wangyue gained such high evaluation from Cheng Peng because, at the merchant level, the ship encountered a heaven-defying opportunity, evolving its soul transformation once, thus eternally standing atop the merchant-level combat power rankings, unshaken by any.

Fang Yu might not care much about the combat power rankings, but he is very curious about Zhang Wangyue.

Now, with Salted Fish lost in the midst of a siege and breakthrough battle of blood and flesh warships, it accidentally stumbled into this mysterious sea area.

Unexpectedly, this sea area holds a huge attraction for soul transformation, clearly a stroke of luck.

Fang Yu naturally couldn't miss the opportunity for enhancing soul transformation.

However, Fang Yu wouldn't rashly and recklessly navigate towards the direction of the pull.

This sea area inherently contains eeriness, and this pull could very well be the trap of some powerful being.

While steering the ship towards the pull, Fang Yu ordered Wang Qing to look carefully through the telescope at the stretch of sea extending in that direction, to see if there was any unknown danger.

But to Fang Yu's surprise...

Wang Qing's perspective revealed absolutely nothing.

The distant sea was empty, with no anomalies detected.

"Something's not right..."

Fang Yu murmured, able to sense his ship yearning for something nearby.

That something was less than thirty nautical miles away from Salted Fish's current location.

Logically, Wang Qing should be able to see what might be lurking in the sea area thirty miles away.

Yet, let alone thirty miles, even within fifty miles, there was nothing but vast emptiness.

"Could it be in the depths of the ocean?"

Fang Yu showed a contemplative expression, still deciding to head to the sea area thirty miles away and take a look.

Though... there's a certain probability of danger.

But if a real opportunity were missed for no reason, it would be a great loss for the ship.

Onward!

"Buzz!"

The ship emits a low hum, breaking through the waves, sailing towards where the "scent" was coming from.

Along the way, Fang Yu could almost feel the ship's urgency—an undeniable yearning from the depths of its soul.

The ship's change somewhat relieved Fang Yu internally.

It seemed there was truly something attracting the ship, not a danger.

With this thought, Fang Yu's curiosity grew stronger.

What exactly could enhance the ship's soul transformation progression?

...

As the ship gradually approached, mist began to form ahead, slowly enveloping the surrounding seas.

"Huh?"

Not only Fang Yu but even Wang Qing on the lookout let out a soft exclamation.

Earlier, through the telescope, Wang Qing saw that the sea ahead was devoid of any mist.

There was only an expansive sea surface, with the water emitting a gentle phosphorescence, calm and tranquil, seemingly without any anomalies.

But upon reaching here, a sudden surge of mist arose, enveloping everything around.

This mist… couldn't be seen from afar earlier at all.

"Captain, this mist is different from ordinary mist."

Wang Qing's expression turned serious, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes.

A streak of divine light seemed to burst forth from Wang Qing's eyes on the lookout, as he tried to pierce through the mist to see further.
