Of course, betting is just one of the preludes before the Star Removal Association starts.
Fang Yu and the others strolled along, and even saw a consortium deploying a cumberso instrunt on Qingyue Island.
These instrunts are not for attacking, but for observation.
Whoever slays more Star Beasts or obtains Radiant Star Stones will be displayed by the instrunts.
So captains were dissatisfied with this, feeling that their privacy was being violated.
But there’s no choice; such has always been the tradition of the Star Removal Association.
The value of Radiant Star Stones is imnse, so many consortia have set up dedicated purchase points for Starlight Stone Fragnts.
As long as the instrunts detect soone obtaining a Starlight Stone Fragnt, personnel from the consortium imdiately approach, offering high prices to buy the fragnts from the person who obtained them.
For a ti, Qingyue Island was a mix of various people.
Consortia, novice captains, veteran captains, and so intelligence agency personnel all turned their attention to Qingyue Island.
This can be considered...an event that reveals which of the current captains is the most powerful and who has the most potential.
The personnel in charge of the battle strength rankings on the forums were even preparing to reassess the rankings based on this performance.
An event that draws attention from many sides.
Who ultimately is the captain who obtains the most Radiant Star Stones?
...
Two days passed swiftly.
Finally, the long-awaited Starshine Day arrived today.
"Huh?"
Everyone’s gaze involuntarily turned toward the sky. Although the weather was clear with no clouds in sight, the sun had mysteriously vanished.
In broad daylight, the sky was cloudless and devoid of the sun, appearing quite eerie.
What’s stranger is...
Although the sun was absent, the entire land remained brightly lit, even more so than when the sun was present.
One by one, stars replaced the sun at that mont, emitting dazzling brilliance that bathed the land, covering everything in a faint silvery glow.
The radiance was brilliant.
"The stars have appeared, captains, please set sail!"
An old mber of the rfolk Race, whose upper body was indistinguishable from humans except for the gills on the sides of the face and the thin waterproof mbrane over the eyes, stood there.
Only by diving into the water could one see the massive tail hidden beneath the waves, swaying from side to side, much larger than the rmaid tails Fang Yu and the others had seen on Blue Star.
This elder was the chief of the rfolk Race on Qingyue Island.
At present, he wore a smile, gazing at the group of Outer Realm Captains ahead.
Who would have thought that what was once considered a disaster on Starshine Day would turn into sothing of a festival or grand event for the rfolk Race today?
A large number of Outer Realm Captains, and even local rchants, ca rushing in.
During this event, so of Qingyue Island’s specialties from the rfolk Race sold for quite good prices, turning the disaster into an opportunity to enhance their group’s strength.
The elder’s tail swayed in the seawater as he looked at the Outer Realm Captains ahead and loudly said, "Although everyone is here to hunt Star Beasts, each of you should be cautious. Powerful Star Beasts are enough to crush sea ships; never underestimate them!"
With those words, the elder swam forward, leading the captains: "Alright, the starlight is brewing. It will soon rge with the ocean’s power to birth the Star Beasts. Captains, please set sail!"
Upon the elder’s command, Fang Yu, along with the other captains participating in the event, without hesitation, set their sea ships sailing forward.
Hundreds of sea ships departed simultaneously, creating an impressive spectacle. Even the waves were crushed by the ships, unable to stop so many from advancing in unison.
Everyone hurriedly moved forward, but it was noticeable that the speed of nearly ten sea ships exceeded that of the others.
Aboard the leading sea ship stood a young man in a hoodie. Ordinary in appearance, his eyes were exceptionally resolute, leaving the impression of unwavering determination at first glance.
This man was the hot-favorite captain, Shi Jun "Grinder King," who awakened the passive ability to stack mission rewards!
Reportedly, even if the sea ship is enchanted and unable to sail, he finds ways to trigger missions on land, never resting—a true Grinder King.
Cargo Ship Battle Strength Ranking: 27
Alongside him, there were also three other sea ships.
On these three sea ships were two other popular captains.
Yuan Qing and Guan Xinxue! Both are well-known captains in the battle strength rankings.
"Oh, there’s actually another person who can keep up with the three of them?"
On the shores of Qingyue Island, so captains who thought they stood no chance against Star Beasts but ca to join in the fun gazed at the fourth sea ship.
It was clear that these four sea ships ford the first echelon, leaving the other sea ships far behind.
The speed of a sea ship depended on the crew’s talent blessings and the ship’s modifications.
Even if a ship was slower, it didn’t necessarily an it was weak.
But faster ships were inevitably strong.
Because modifying the propulsion system was more expensive than modifying cannons and not as helpful in direct combat.
Only captains with spare money consider modifying the propulsion system after the cannons are nearly upgraded.
"That’s Guan Tao!"
Soone recognized the person in the first echelon alongside the other three popular captains and laughed: "Guan Tao recently saved many captains from a pirate encounter, not only showcasing strong abilities but also being very helpful, earning much goodwill."
"So captains already reported Guan Tao’s na on the battle strength rankings. It’s expected that his na will be updated in the next issue, keeping pace with the other three veteran popular contenders is also understandable."
Hearing this, everyone realized.
Among the crowd, several captains recorded the scene, specifically marking Guan Tao’s na.
Beyond that, others glanced at the remaining sea ships, then shook their heads slightly without comnting.
Only after Star Beasts are born can strengths and weaknesses be discerned. Before their birth, it’s hard to judge anything solely based on speed.
...
"Captain, aren’t we charging forward?"
Luo Kuan stood at the ship’s bow, his Alchemy义眼 flashing red continuously. Given Luo Kuan’s love for showing off, he was eyeing the first echelon of sea ships with envy.
He knew their sea ship had just undergone propulsion system modifications.
If the captain wanted to charge forward, standing out wouldn’t be difficult, even if not reaching the first echelon.
"Charge? Don’t worry!"
Fang Yu restrained the restless Luo Kuan as one might press down a pig ant for a festival, then leisurely spoke:
"The place where Star Beasts are born is random, charging faster doesn’t an encountering more Star Beasts."
"Moreover... now the starlight has just descended, and hasn’t reached peak strength yet. Star Beasts born now probably won’t yield much..."
Fang Yu shook his head, not deliberately activating the propulsion device.
Just as Fang Yu finished, the starlight in the sky suddenly condensed, forming dozens of beams of silver light that swiftly descended onto the sea surface.
