6: Chapter 6 Level 3 Support

[Player: Demon, requesting support.]

[Assistance Level: White Level 3, Maximum Support Personnel: 10.]

Demon: "My bamboo raft is being attacked by a school of fish. Can anyone help me?"

"A school of fish again? Do you all just love jumping into fish nests?"

Vase: "What kind of fish? Send a picture and let us see."

Demon: "Image.jpg"

Demon: "I've applied for support. Is anyone going to save me? My bamboo raft is about to be bitten to pieces!"

Emperor: "It's hopeless. Those are Piranhas. Their bite force is terrifying, far beyond what a Sea Bass can compare to."

"Hiss... A school of Piranhas? That's terrifying!"

"Wait, wait, why is your bamboo raft so big?"

"Holy crap! He actually upgraded to a Level 2 Bamboo Raft."

"Tsk tsk, developing so smoothly, no wonder the fish are targeting him."

"Exactly, who told you to upgrade so fast?"

Samo: "You guys are too much. It's one thing not to help, but you're even being sarcastic and mocking."

Emperor: "Oh, another holier-than-thou saint? Then why don't you go? We'll cheer for you."

Emperor: "Hahaha, This Great Master has also upgraded! A Level 2 Bamboo Raft! You lot, hurry up and worship me. Wait... that's not right."

Just as he started showing off, the captain of the Emperor noticed something was wrong.

Looking at the materials required for a Level 3 Bamboo Raft, he let out a cry of surprise.

However, his lackeys were too busy sucking up to him to notice anything amiss.

"Boss, what materials do you need to upgrade the raft?"

"Big Brother Emperor is too fierce! I've only collected ten pieces of bamboo, and you've already upgraded."

"He is the Great Di Wang after all. Please carry us!"

"Please carry me +1."

"Please carry me +10086."

"..."

Once the Emperor and his lackeys appeared, they steered the chat off-topic.

Those sending messages were either flattering him or being sarcastic.

The captain of the Demon was scratching their head in anxiety and could only pin their hopes on Chen Fan.

Demon: "@china, Big Brother, can you come save me? I can trade resources for it."

Emperor: "Pfft, he could support before because it was free. Now it costs 1 gold coin per support. Who would help you?"

"Exactly, exactly. Besides, his Sea Bass were all eaten. How is he going to support you?"

"Don't tell me you want him to go there in person? Hahaha, does he even have the guts?"

However...

Before the words even faded, the mechanical voice of the system rang out.

[Player china has activated a Support Scroll.]

[Support Channel under construction!]

The moment the notification appeared, the captain of the Demon was jolted awake, reading it several times in disbelief.

Then, with a face full of tears, they thanked him: "Thank you, Big Shot! I will definitely repay you!"

"Gah..."

"Hiss, he actually dares?"

"Good heavens, those are Piranhas! Does he have a death wish?"

The captain of the Emperor looked a bit uneasy and shifted his gaze away from the system interface.

With an unreadable expression, he said, "Heh, you're celebrating too early. Activating the Support Channel doesn't mean he'll actually go."

"Exactly, anyone can put on a show. If you've got the balls, then go!"

"Kid, take some advice from your uncle. You were lucky with the last support. Don't be impulsive this time. Hurry up and cancel it."

Even several beautiful women began to persuade him via private messages.

long time ship: "Don't be impulsive! Those are Piranhas."

Samo: "Big Shot, maybe don't support this time. I'll work hard to help you save up resources. Don't take the risk!"

Vase: "Waaa, Big Brother is so handsome, but it looks very dangerous. Can you handle it, Big Brother?"

speechless ship: "Big Shot, stay safe!"

However, Chen Fan didn't have time to chat with them.

Looking at the 93 points behind the Demon's nickname, he was faced with three choices.

The first was to provide support in person.

But after a glance at the vicious Piranhas, he immediately abandoned that option.

The second was to send over the 200 fish he had worked hard to collect.

But given the terrifying combat power of the Piranhas, the fish-sea tactic likely wouldn't be very effective.

It might even attract sharks due to the blood.

Then the Demon would be completely finished!

So, there was only the third path: Crew Member support!

Opening the mall, he found that a D-rank Crew Member cost 100 gold coins, while a C-rank one was 500 gold coins.

After thinking it over, Chen Fan directly messaged the Demon privately.

"Give me your gold coins."

The moment he sent it, the Demon applied for a trade.

[Obtained: Gold Coin x100.]

Demon: "Thank you, Big Shot! Once this is resolved, I'll do my best to collect whatever resources you want."

That's exactly what I was waiting for!

Chen Fan chuckled. Tool person +1!

Looking at the 511 gold coins in his backpack, he immediately started shopping.

[Consumed Gold Coins: 500.]

[Purchase Successful: C-rank Sharpshooter x1.]

[Consumed Gold Coins: 10.]

[Purchase Successful: Compound Bow (White) x1, Arrows (Common) x100.]

[Consumed Gold Coins: 1.]

[Purchase Successful: Support Scroll x1.]

511 gold coins were squandered in an instant.

A burly man, 1.8 meters tall and covered in lean muscle, appeared.

His weight caused the raft to sink a bit deeper.

At the same time, the system voice came again.

[Consumed Support Scroll x1. Support Channel opened. Please select support mode.]

"Crew Member support."

As soon as he spoke, the black vortex appeared again.

Under his mental control, the Sharpshooter slung the bow and Arrows over his back and stepped into the vortex.

[Support time required: 4 minutes.]

Nodding slightly, Chen Fan paid it no more mind and focused on checking the resources his pet fish had brought back.

If a C-rank Sharpshooter equipped with a Compound Bow couldn't kill these Piranhas...

...then the Demon was simply fated to die.

While Chen Fan was checking the resources, the regional chat window was flooded with messages again.

Emperor: "What's the matter? Our Big Shot has gone silent? Don't tell me he just threw away one gold coin to put on a show and is now going to regretfully say the support failed?"

"No way, right? Our district's Big Shot wouldn't be such a coward, would he?"

"Are you a man or not? Keep your word and go support them!"

"Go support them +1."

"+10086."

"..."

Seeing the noise getting louder, the speechless ship, whom Chen Fan had saved, couldn't take it anymore and started cursing.

speechless ship: "Are you guys brain-dead? Does china owe you anything? What does it have to do with you whether he provides support or not?"

speechless ship: "You've got a foul mouth, do you just spend all day spewing crap?"

This wave of group taunting made the captain of the Emperor fly into a rage.

Emperor: "You little bitch, there's no law to protect you here. You'd better not fall into my hands. Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

speechless ship: "You? A ball-less three-centimeter wonder? Who could you possibly do anything to?"

"Pfft..."

"Tsk tsk, quite a spicy one. I like it."

"Boss Emperor, when the time comes, I'll help you hold her down while you do the work!"

After the Emperor was humiliated, his lackeys who had already sided with him quickly came to his defense.

Unable to stand it any longer, the Vase also joined the team supporting the speechless ship.

Four minutes passed in a flash amidst the shouting match.

[Support Channel construction complete.]

[Player china, support has arrived!]

A burly man stepped out from the vortex on the sea surface, a giant Compound Bow slung over his back.

The captain of the Demon, face covered in tears, sobbed, "Thank you, Huaxia Big Shot."

She actually mistook the Sharpshooter for Chen Fan.

"..."

Chen Fan shook his head slightly.

A voice came from the Sharpshooter's mouth:

"Get out of the way!"

"Ah? Oh, okay..."

The girl on the Demon was about 172cm tall. She wore a floral dress, had her hair in twin tails, and her skin was as white as snow.

After a moment's daze, she immediately hid at the edge of the bamboo raft.

Chen Fan said no more and directly issued orders.

The Sharpshooter's muscles bulged. After aiming for a brief moment, he drew his bow and released an Arrow.

A Piranha was instantly pierced through.

Without any nonsense, he drew his bow again and again. More and more Piranhas were shot dead, and the sea surface gradually turned red.

In the regional chat...

One of the lackeys, at the Emperor's signal, purchased a Support Scroll.

He didn't have the guts to provide support in person.

So, he cleverly chose Attack Support.

Fangs Vessel: "I'll see for myself what you're capable of!"

[Player Fangs Vessel has entered the Support Channel.]
