58: Chapter 58 Steel Walls

He pondered for a long time but could not figure it out.

Seeing several shadows appear on the horizon ahead, Chen Fan stopped overthinking.

He traded one tentacle to each of The Five Women and instructed them to put it into their backpacks.

This was the only option for now; as for whether the tentacle was useful, Chen Fan naturally had ways to test it.

Vase: "My god! It's actually a large sailing ship!"

speechless ship: "It's the same on my end."

Samo: "Could it be that the enemies in this dungeon get stronger over time?"

long time ship: "They definitely get stronger, but I don't know if the influencing factor is time or our levels."

Chen Fan's expression darkened as he asked in the group chat: "Are all your enemies large sailing ships?"

The women: "Yes."

"How many are there?"

Vase: "Let me count, it seems there are ten."

Chen Fan gritted his teeth, his tone filled with anger:

"Then why do I have ten patrol boats? Damn it, and every single one is equipped with a Gatling gun!"

Vase: "Pfft, hahahahaha..."

speechless ship: "Haha, who told you to level up so high."

long time ship: "Is it very dangerous?"

Demon: "If it's really too much, just exit the dungeon. Brother Fan, your level is so high, it would be a shame if you crashed."

He curled his lips.

Chen Fan looked up.

The ten patrol boats had approached within a kilometer range, and the Gatling guns on their decks had already turned their muzzles towards china.

"ghost ship, come out!"

At his command, the jet-black ghost ship appeared beside him.

Kuka, accompanied by Drake, 50 Sailors, and 100 Archers, boarded the ghost ship.

If not for the lack of supplies, Chen Fan could have completely blown them away with one shot.

But crafting one 135mm shell required 1k gunpowder and steel!

"Damn it!"

Chen Fan looked at his 3k+ gold coins and steel and wailed for a while.

Having been used to being a big spender, suddenly becoming poor was completely hard to adapt to.

He could only pray that this dungeon run would help him recover some resources.

"Fire!"

Kuka gave a roar, and the two cannons on the ghost ship fired simultaneously.

At a distance of one kilometer, Chen Fan had personally tested that the Gatling gun's lethality was limited.

But for the cannons, this distance was just right.

Two shells struck two patrol boats respectively.

Flames instantly engulfed them, and they sank to the bottom of the sea.

"Fortunately, the system isn't that twisted. It didn't give them the ability to repair."

Chen Fan smacked his lips.

The difference between NPCs and players was still quite significant.

The second volley sank two more patrol boats.

Lairuilei was not to be outdone and drew her bow to shoot.

A green bolt of lightning whistled away, instantly splitting a patrol boat in half.

By this point, half of the patrol boats had been damaged before they even got close.

Chen Fan nodded slightly; this was the benefit of having intelligent NPCs.

If they were non-intelligent NPCs, they would only act upon Chen Fan's orders.

This would delay the best opportunity for battle.

Glancing at Kadel, who was standing to the side and had pulled out his keen giant gun, Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh.

"Why did you pull out your gun? The enemy has a cockpit; can you actually get a headshot?"

Kadel frowned and took a large swig of strong liquor.

"Is that any way to talk to your Short Lord?"

After speaking, Kadel aimed for a moment and fired a shot.

"Bang—"

The bullet tore through the sky and pierced the shell of the cockpit.

A moment later, that patrol boat wobbled and came to a stop.

Kadel's shot had actually pierced through the cockpit from 800 meters away and killed the enemy captain!

Chen Fan's eyes widened sharply, and he looked at Kadel in disbelief.

Even though he was an S-Class Crew Member, wasn't this ability a bit too broken?

Moreover, this was without having installed a scope for him.

Wouldn't it be even further after installing a scope?

"I like your expression, Short Lord likes it. Hmph!"

"Right now, your Short Lord can kill enemies 2 kilometers away; once the scope is installed, the range can increase to 3 kilometers."

Kadel snorted softly and fired again.

Two patrol boats stopped one after another at the 800-meter mark.

Kuka was not to be outdone and ordered to fire the cannons again.

In an instant, the ten Gatling-equipped patrol boats were reduced to only one before even getting close to Chen Fan.

The only remaining one hovered back and forth at 600 meters for a moment, then turned and fled.

"It seems I underestimated the abilities of these Crew Members."

Chen Fan shook his head, feeling very emotional.

He had originally thought these 10 patrol boats would force him to use his 135mm shells.

He didn't expect that with the cooperation of his crew, he would pass the level without shedding blood.

long time ship: "Brother, I've passed the level, how is it on your end?"

Vase: "It would be a miracle if he were that fast; I still have 3 sailing ships left on my side."

Demon: "Exactly, exactly, I still have 2 left."

Chen Fan curled his lips, "If you're bad, practice more. I passed the level a long time ago."

Samo: "Ah! So fast?"

Vase: "Wuwuwu, I forgot Brother Fan has big shells, I want big shells too!"

Ignoring their banter, Chen Fan opened the regional chat channel.

Suddenly, countless messages asking for supplies caught his eye.

"Seeking Wood, trading at a high price! Hurry!"

"Does anyone have nails to trade? Trade with me quickly!"

"Emergency help, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"..."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately sent a group message:

"Go to the regional channel to trade for supplies, mainly collect gold coins, steel, and gunpowder."

After saying this, he traded 5k Wood and 2k nails to each of them.

The other supplies were not abundant either, so he had to spend them sparingly.

"Okay."

The Five Women received the supplies and started working.

By the time the second stage ended, they had traded away all the Wood and nails.

They traded all the supplies they had obtained, as well as those collected in the dungeon, to Chen Fan.

[Obtained: Gold coins x150k, Steel x50k, Gunpowder 30k.]

Taking advantage of the increased dungeon difficulty and players begging for help, Chen Fan managed to recover a significant amount of resources.

Demon: "Big shot, big shot, did you forget something? My ship is still on fire."

Chen Fan patted his head, almost forgetting her.

"How much do you need?"

"Let me check."

Demon Girl checked and continued: "Wood x5k. Nails x500. Cloth x50. Steel x100. Gold coins x2k."

"..."

Chen Fan raised an eyebrow and traded the supplies to her.

"Once you upgrade to a patrol boat, don't get hit anymore, I can't afford the repairs!"

Demon: "Mm-hmm, thanks Brother Fan!"

Vase: "Brother Fan, when can we upgrade?"

speechless ship: "Yeah, we want to fire cannons too!"

Chen Fan pondered for a moment, calculated the supplies, and said:

"Let's see the rewards from this dungeon; if possible, I'll help you upgrade once we get out."

Vase: "Wow! Thanks Brother Fan!"

The women: "!!!!!!"

Watching the excited The Five Women, Chen Fan couldn't help but smile.

But following that was a lot of pressure.

It wouldn't matter if he didn't enter the dungeon, but once entering a night dungeon, the consumption of supplies was massive.

"I need to get more supplies, otherwise I won't be able to support them."

At this time, the second stage had ended.

Just as The Five Women said, there were no stage rewards.

It seems rewards would only be generated after finishing the third stage.

Chen Fan shook his head and stared ahead.

Suddenly, the space began to shake violently.

After shaking for a while, a light blue barrier appeared before his eyes.

china and ghost ship crossed the sea.

Appearing at the same time were five large sailing ships.

Before The Five Women could exclaim, Chen Fan pointed ahead in surprise.

"What the f*ck!?!"

The Five Women looked over upon hearing him and were instantly stunned.

Before their eyes was still a city.

What was different from before was that this time, the city was surrounded by a ten-meter-high wall!

Even worse, this wall was actually made of steel.

"My god!!"

Vase immediately exclaimed.
