11: Chapter 11 Crew, charge!

The burly man's lips curled slightly into a mocking smile.

The sight made everyone's breath hitch.

Even though they knew this was just a neutral NPC, the Sharpshooter's expression made it feel as if Brother Huaxia himself were present.

After a long silence, Emperor could no longer hold back.

A cold voice drifted from the vortex: "A mere NPC dares to be so arrogant? I'll slaughter you!"

Fangs also snapped out of it, chiming in immediately:

"How majestic. Everyone is here to provide support, yet you come out just to glare at us? What, are you on the sharks' side?"

These words were incredibly malicious, instantly splitting the camp in two.

Those providing support, as well as those watching the scene through shared vision, all began to frown.

That's right, everyone came here to support.

Even if there's some friction between you, there's no need to ruin the atmosphere during a Level 7 support mission, is there?

This affects everyone's rewards!

Emperor glanced at Fangs with surprise and nodded in satisfaction.

He hadn't expected this kid's strength to be mediocre while his tongue was so sharp.

He could be worth grooming in the future.

Then, remembering how Fangs had started rallying people without his permission earlier, he suddenly snorted again.

"But I still need to keep him in line..."

Seeing Fangs immediately start slinging mud, speechless ship couldn't sit still and shouted sharply:

"Emperor, control your lackey. Tell him to stop spewing filth the moment he opens his mouth."

"So many people are only providing fire support, yet only the boss of the china is using Crew Members for support. Doesn't that prove enough?"

The latter part was addressed to the other players.

Instantly, many people responded.

Vase: "speechless ship is right. Only Brother Huaxia is willing to support with Crew Members, yet someone still wants to sow discord."

Jiu Jiu: "Didn't the Qing Dynasty end? Why are there still eunuchs around?"

Samo: "Maybe he's a self-made eunuch."

Demon: "Pfft... Hahahaha."

Besides the girls, others also realized the truth.

Looking at the Sharpshooter who was continuously firing crossbow bolts, their stance shifted immediately.

"How about we kill the sharks first? Your grudges can wait until later, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, we won't get involved in your personal feuds. Let's focus on the task at hand first."

"Focusing on the task +1."

"+10086."

"..."

Emperor gave a cold snort and pulled his bow again.

The sound of breaking wind rang out continuously as everyone remembered their purpose and began shooting the sharks.

However, the results were meager.

Most of the sharks besieging the players were relatively small.

They were mainly White-Tipped Reef Sharks and Bull Sharks.

Every time the Sharpshooter aimed and fired a bolt, it would pierce through two sharks.

Sometimes, it would even pierce through three.

Seeing that Chen Fan had stopped speaking and was focusing on support,

Emperor also fell silent, continuously condensing Explosion Arrows.

He also understood that there were no shortcuts in support; rewards were distributed strictly based on the percentage of contribution.

To snatch more resources, he had to go all out in killing sharks.

The sea surface was gradually filled with floating shark carcasses and blood.

The shark swarm, smelling the blood, became even more ferocious and bloodthirsty.

They stopped observing and accelerated toward the rocks where the players were hiding.

Countless sharks smashed their heads until they bled, but the rock formations were also being battered until they were covered in cracks.

They looked like they were about to shatter!

"Bosses, save me! The rocks can't hold on much longer!"

"If this continues and I die, your support mission will fail too."

The player requesting help screamed desperately.

This snapped all the players to attention.

That's right, if the requester dies, the support definitely won't count as a success.

Wouldn't that mean everyone's support efforts would go to waste?

Moreover, everyone had spent 1 Gold Coin!

Thinking of this, the crowd began to panic.

"Can someone think of something? If they keep ramming like this, he'll fall into the water in a few minutes."

"What on earth provoked these beasts? Why are they so dead-set on this player?"

"Hey kid, you didn't sleep with someone's wife, did you?"

"Get out of here, who could even do that to a female shark?"

"..."

Emperor was also anxious.

This was the first support mission he had commanded. If it failed, it would be a significant blow to his reputation.

Thus, his eyes turned cold, and he opened the private message interface.

"Fangs, provide support with your true body to lure some of the sharks away."

Fangs trembled all over, instantly feeling unwell, his face full of disbelief.

"B... Boss, what did you say?"

Emperor frowned and said coldly:

"I told you to support with your true body, didn't you hear me?"

Fangs: "B... but Boss, that's a shark swarm. I'll be torn to shreds the moment I go there. How can I lure them away?"

Emperor: "My words don't carry weight anymore, is that it? If you go this time, you'll be my confidant. In the future, you'll be the number one person under me."

"If you don't go, I'll slaughter you the moment I get the chance. Do you hear me?"

Fangs' breath hitched.

Immediately, a surge of resentment filled his heart, and the look he gave Emperor was filled with deep hatred.

He looked back at his empty backpack, feeling incredibly bitter.

He hadn't expected that surrendering all his resources would only earn him an order to go to his death.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

At this point, he had no way out.

Having long since pinned all his hopes on Emperor, he wouldn't be able to survive without resources even if he left Emperor's side.

Not to mention Emperor's threat.

He knew Emperor's temperament well; if he disobeyed him, he would surely suffer endless retaliation.

"Sigh..."

Fangs let out a long sigh and closed his eyes, replying as if accepting his fate:

"I understand."

Meanwhile.

On the other side, Chen Fan also noticed this problem.

He didn't care about those few Gold Coins; what he cared about was the reward after a successful support mission.

That was what he was relying on to upgrade to a Sailing Ship on the first day of the game.

Therefore, this support mission must not fail!

"Crew Member Support!"

Chen Fan gave a low shout, and 200 fish surged frantically into the support vortex.

That wasn't enough.

He opened the system mall again, focusing on the Sailor category.

"Sailors should be very fast at swimming, right?"

With a slight curl of his lips, Chen Fan spent a huge sum of 1,000 Gold Coins to directly purchase one hundred E-Rank Sailors.

Thus, 100 E-Rank Sailors followed the 200 fish and surged into the support channel.

On the other side.

The frenzied sharks were continuously ramming the rocks where the player was hiding.

Cracks were multiplying, and they were about to shatter.

Just as Emperor couldn't hold back and was about to urge him, a bamboo raft suddenly appeared.

Everyone, including the shark swarm, was stunned for a moment.

The chat window exploded instantly.

"Holy crap, which brother actually has a Crew Member too?"

"Brother, bring them out sooner! These rocks are about to explode."

"Dammit, don't you know Crew Members can respawn infinitely? Having a Crew Member and not supporting earlier, bah!"

While everyone was complaining, Jiu Jiu noticed something was off.

After a moment of thought, she exclaimed:

"This isn't a Crew Member, it's a warship Support! That person is the player's true body!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the air went silent again.

Then.

A roar erupted.

Countless sharks turned and chased after Fangs Vessel, who was rowing desperately.

Seeing that they were about to catch up, Fangs couldn't help but scream:

"Help!"

The familiar voice left everyone stunned.

"Holy crap, is that Fangs?"

"It can't be wrong, that voice is definitely Fangs!"

"I didn't know Brother Fangs was so cool, daring to lure the sharks away alone for everyone's benefit. I'm so moved."

"Brother Fangs, I'm calling you my brother from now on."

"Everyone, help Brother Fangs kill the sharks chasing him!"

"Alright, focus fire!"

Seeing this, Chen Fan's pupils also constricted.

"I misjudged him. This Fangs is quite brave."

Seeing that the time was right, Chen Fan's lips curled up, and he waved his hand.

"Crew Members, attack!"

As soon as he spoke,

200 fish, like a bursting dam, surged continuously from the vortex.

Witnessing this scene, everyone gasped in unison.

"Holy crap! What's going on!"
