117: Chapter 117 The Use of Energy

"How big of a treasure do you want?" Chen Fan rolled his eyes and asked irritably.

He certainly wouldn't be naive enough to think that Luo Shen was implying anything to him.

Didn't you see how guarded she was when she boarded the ship last night?

She practically treated him like some lecherous scoundrel.

That was also the reason Chen Fan didn't lay a hand on her.

Although Chen Fan was a playboy, he wasn't low enough to be indecent.

He disdained doing things like forcing himself on others.

Seeing Chen Fan's cold tone, Luo Shen couldn't help but bite her lip.

"Um... could you give me a portion of superpower supplies? I can exchange with you?"

"How many times is this? Can't I ever satisfy you?"

"The fifth time..." Luo Shen felt a bit embarrassed.

"You should know that I don't have many superpower supplies on hand."

Chen Fan looked at the seventy or eighty thousand superpower supplies and spouted nonsense.

"Besides, have you collected enough hidden supplies? Don't bite off more than you can chew."

Luo Shen took a breath, "I know. I want the superpower supplies just so I can pick some up when I enter the dungeon. As for other players, I don't plan on giving them any for now."

Chen Fan nodded, "That's more like it. One out, ten back, plus a favor."

"Mm-hmm, Brother, you're the best."

"Stop, don't try that on me."

Chen Fan scoffed and traded a portion of superpower supplies over.

"I have absolutely no interest in beauties I can't have."

After receiving the supplies, Luo Shen ignored Chen Fan's ramblings.

She couldn't even be bothered to exchange pleasantries, gave a little laugh, and hung up the voice call.

Chen Fan shook his dazed head, groaned as he got up, and continued to Recruit.

He pushed through until eleven o'clock at night.

Finally, he finished Recruiting all the pirate ships.

Chen Fan did not Recruit some of the damaged ships.

It would take too many supplies just to repair them; it wasn't worth the loss.

Looking at the ten thousand glass bottles floating on the pool in the Crew Member space, Chen Fan smiled knowingly.

Next, as long as he equipped them with large-caliber cannons, the attack power of the Ghost Ship Fleet would reach a new level.

Unfortunately, he could only obtain five hundred each day; it would take some time to fully equip them all.

His gaze swept to the blue glass bottle, and Chen Fan raised an eyebrow.

[magic dragon crystal core energy: 9276.]

This was just from more than half of the pirate ships.

The remaining nearly forty percent of the energy was with The Five Women.

Satisfied, he put away the glass bottle and turned to look at the pitch-black sea.

Ten thousand ghost ships were parked quietly.

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and began to shop.

These ghost ships were controlled by Kuka and didn't require much operation, so they only needed to be equipped with E-Rank Captains.

Each ghost ship needed to be equipped with 1 Captain and 20 Sailors, totaling 10,000 Captains and 200,000 Sailors!

He had just purchased two thousand Captains, and he currently only had 5,000 E-Rank Sailors.

[Gold coins spent: 1.95 million.]

[Purchase successful: E-Rank Sailor x195,000.]

[Gold coins spent: 80,000.]

[Purchase successful: E-Rank Captain x8,000.]

The number of Crew Member had reached a terrifying 210,000!

After studying for a moment, Chen Fan set the respawn points for these Sailors and Captains on the ten thousand ghost ships respectively.

This way, after they died, they would respawn directly on the ghost ship.

This saved the time of switching ships back and forth.

"Recall."

Chen Fan waved his hand, and the 200,000 Sailors were instantly in position, appearing on their respective ghost ships.

After doing all this, Chen Fan was completely exhausted.

Seeing that there were no omissions, he exited the dungeon.

Vase: "Giegie is out."

Samo: "Can you not talk so lewdly?"

Vase: "How is that lewd? Among us, you're the only one who hasn't served Giegie yet. Why don't you put in some effort?"

Xiao Hudie: "Put in some effort +1."

"+2."

"..."

The girls' remarks made Samo blush with shame.

Chen Fan shook his head helplessly, "Stop messing around, I'm about to die from exhaustion."

The Five Women immediately quieted down and traded the magic dragon crystal core to Chen Fan.

[magic dragon crystal core energy: 16357.]

Chen Fan let out a long sigh, left 100 energy for each of them, and traded it back.

"Keep this bottle well. In the future, if you encounter a pirate ship, remember to collect the energy. I'm going to sleep first."

"Wait a second, Brother Fan. Are we still going into the Night Instance later?"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly: "Let's not go in for now. We aren't short on energy at the moment, and you can't carry out Exploration on the islands either. Wait until I've rested, then I'll take you."

"With that energy, you'd be better off separating to carry out Exploration on the islands. If you see a Red Island, you can mark it first, and then we'll go collect supplies together later."

Chen Fan had finally figured it out.

Whether it was the main storyline or the dungeon, they were all opened in phases.

Only after most players caught up in progress would the next stage open.

Exploring the Night Instance right now would most likely only result in harvesting pirate ships.

"Okay."

The Five Women nodded one after another, then chose a direction and began to sail.

Chen Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

He took a shower and fell into a deep sleep.

One hour.

Two hours.

Five hours later, two rays of light flew out of Chen Fan's body.

Two figures, one tall and one short, stood quietly by Chen Fan's bed.

"Shhh—"

Chris gave Kadel a wink.

Kadel was somewhat disdainful, "Why don't you go?"

"It's useless for me to have it, aren't you the one who's lacking that thing?"

Kadel took a swig of wine and scoffed: "If Short Lord wants it, he can ask him directly; there's no need to be sneaky."

"Besides, that energy isn't enough for Short Lord to level up."

"That's the most important reason, right?"

Chris glared at him.

Kadel's hand paused, and he gave Chris the middle finger.

Just then, a blue and a green ray of light flashed.

Two more figures stood on the other side of the bed.

Chris watched the two of them quietly, "I've wanted to ask for a long time, why can you also leave the host? And this new girl, how can you do it too?"

Kadel's hand, which was pouring wine, froze in mid-air, his eyes narrowing into slits.

Lairuilei gave a soft huff and didn't answer.

She reached out and pressed her hand against Chen Fan's chest.

Immediately, a bottle filled with light blue energy appeared in her hand.

Lilai's eyes widened, revealing intense desire.

"With your inferior genes, of course you wouldn't understand."

"You..."

Kadel's eyes widened, and he reached down to his crotch.

Chris, however, stopped him.

His eyes flickered, "Genes? Divine inheritance? So that's it."

Lairuilei ignored them and handed the bottle to Lilai.

"You do it."

Lilai was stunned, her voice trembling as she said: "Sister..."

Lairuilei shook her head, her tone serious.

"After I level up, there won't be much improvement for now, so you do it instead."

"No way! After Sister levels up, you can one hundred percent replace this annoying Shorty."

"Who are you calling an annoying Shorty?" Kadel flew into a rage.

Lairuilei raised her eyelids and looked at him indifferently.

Kadel's breath hitched.

With a cold snort, his body turned into energy and disappeared from where he stood.

Chris also gave a light laugh, glanced at the two again, and his figure gradually dissipated.

"Let little sister level up first; your Extreme Cold Domain is a great help to Master."

Lilai took the bottle, and her eyes misted over.

"Sister..."

She threw herself into Lairuilei's arms, letting out low sobs.

"Be good, level up first. Once you've leveled up, you can better help Master."

"Mm—"

Lilai drew out the sound, wiping away her tears.

"Sister, I'm going to level up now."

After saying that, she held the glass bottle with both hands and slowly closed her eyes.

A moment later, a faint vortex of energy seeped out from inside the glass bottle.

After circling in the air, it slowly drilled into Lilai's body.

The energy on the glass bottle gradually decreased.

[16357.]

[11853.]

[...]

[6357.]

It stopped only after decreasing by a full ten thousand points.
