Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 532 - 279: Jiang Lin of the Zhang Clan, Hunter’s Path (Part 2)
"The Zhang Clan is really overbearing..."
"Who told Fang Yu to kill Zhang Wangyue? I heard Zhang Wangyue was the hope of the Zhang Clan, the lord with the best chance of achieving the pinnacle of S-grade talent."
"If Fang Yu could kill Zhang Wangyue, it means he probably also has an S-grade talent, right?"
"Indeed, hasn’t the official battle power ranking long speculated that Fang Yu possesses an S-grade talent..."
...
The Blue Star captains quietly discussed, and among them, a few set their sights on the receding figure of the Salted Fish, immediately messaging the Zhang Clan through private chat without saying a word.
"Is this Mr. Zhang? Yes, it’s me. I saw Fang Yu heading towards Rikugawa Pier, and I don’t know what he’s doing. But you can notify Jiang Lin to pay special attention."
"Alright, thank you, Mr. Zhang. I’ve long wanted to join the Zhang Clan, and now being able to do something for the Zhang Clan is fulfilling my wish."
"Hey, hey, sure, sure. Thanks for the support, Mr. Zhang!"
...
The message kept spreading.
Someone posted this news on the Blue Star Captain’s forum, after all, it’s a conflict between the top five in the warship level battle power rankings and the top-notch Blue Star corporation, the Zhang Clan.
Both parties are core topics and "traffic" on the forum.
Once released, traffic immediately surged wildly into this thread.
Some curious individuals even followed Fang Yu, live streaming his movements and constantly updating the forum on his status.
Everyone was very curious and very concerned.
Fang Yu knew the Extraordinary Ship was at Rikugawa Port, and he was still sailing there.
Could he be mocking, knowing Jiang Lin can’t touch him in the Safe Sea Region?
If so, then this new warship-level captain in the top five is way too idle, isn’t he?
To have nothing better to do than mock someone?
"Does Fang Yu think Jiang Lin can’t do anything to him in the Safe Sea Region?"
Just then, someone claiming to know the insider’s information revealed on the forum:
"You all probably don’t know the purpose for which the Zhang Clan sent Jiang Lin this time."
"Jiang Lin has no room for improvement, and some reveals from inside the Zhang Clan suggest that Jiang Lin might want to take the Hunter route, exploring if there’s further progress from other routes!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"What? Hunter?!"
After hearing this person’s reveal, everyone was shocked.
Hunter refers to killing a companion within the Safe Sea Region, causing the ship and panel to mutate into a Hunter panel and ship.
In the early days, many people became Hunters for short-term interests, killing Blue Star captains in the Safe Sea Region to gain extreme power.
Fang Yu had previously encountered one, and it’s said Hunters have now formed their small faction, though not yet a significant force and are still developing.
Later, as Blue Star captains gained deeper understanding of this world, very few are now willing to become Hunters.
And a dignified top Extraordinary Ship captain, willing to become a Hunter just to kill Fang Yu?
This is simply unbelievable.
"Is Fang Yu so important? Worthy of the Zhang Clan sacrificing an Extraordinary Ship captain?"
"Nonsense, Fang Yu killed Zhang Wangyue. Who was Zhang Wangyue? The son of the Zhang Clan’s patriarch and the Zhang Clan’s hopeful future. Fang Yu’s actions cut off the Zhang Clan’s future, so it’s no wonder the Zhang Clan would explode."
"Now I understand why the Zhang Clan only dispatched Jiang Lin. They were prepared to sacrifice Jiang Lin."
"Sacrifice? Not necessarily. Jiang Lin might have long decided to take this path for a breakthrough. Fang Yu’s incident just provided a ’reasonable’ excuse to kill Blue Star captains in the Safe Sea Region."
"In this way, killing Fang Yu is merely revenge, not oppressing ordinary captains, so the Zhang Clan’s reputation won’t be tarnished by this."
After hearing the captain’s words, people paused for a moment, then nodded subconsciously.
Indeed...
Previously, people subconsciously thought of the Hunter as a dark path, as becoming a Hunter equated to "sacrificing" oneself.
But in fact, becoming a Hunter has another advantage.
That is gaining Hunter skills, acquiring the Hunter panel.
In a sense, the Sea Ship System is more valued by navigators because it rides the tide of the times, with a chance to reach the pinnacle.
If the pinnacle isn’t considered, then there’s not much difference between the two; the Hunter might even exchange future potential for battle strength, advancing further in the short term.
Perhaps this is a new path, after all, Jiang Lin’s growth has reached its peak; even with the Zhang Clan’s resources, there’s no noticeable improvement or growth.
Stopping here, even if Jiang Lin is laid-back, he won’t be content. He wants to try the Hunter route, exploring other possibilities.
"Don’t say... really, don’t say..."
People muttered, a hint of peculiarity flashing in their eyes.
Everyone realized, Jiang Lin’s move this time might not just be about watching the show for Blue Star captains.
If Jiang Lin indeed succeeds on this path, wouldn’t it open a new route for Blue Star captains in the future?
