"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Fang Yu aid at the target in front of him, firing shot after shot.
A distance of five hundred ters wasn’t close, but considering Fang Yu had crew mbers with the Far-sighted Talent, along with the rifle’s scope, the distance didn’t pose much pressure for him.
Fang Yu trained earnestly, focusing entirely on each shot, gradually improving his touch through the process.
The most important thing in firearms training is actually the feel.
After all, encounters and shooting often happen in an instant, and the feel developed from serious training cos in handy at critical monts.
Fang Yu valued this point highly.
After a round of shooting, Fang Yu looked at the target ahead, feeling slightly satisfied inside.
On average, four out of ten shots hit the bullseye, while the remaining bullets, although slightly off, weren’t far off the mark.
It was a relatively satisfactory score.
The effect of Luo Kuan’s firearms talent, along with Fang Yu’s firearms training, was far better than that of a normal firearms trainee.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
Just then, a round of applause ca from the side. Fang Yu was montarily stunned, then saw four young n, smiling as they walked towards him.
"You’re aweso, buddy, your shooting is spot on! We’ve been watching for a while!"
The young n smiled warmly, their expressions very friendly and approachable.
These were the sa people Fang Yu had seen yesterday with the middle-aged man, the veteran captains.
He didn’t expect them to show up here...
But wait, Fang Yu thought, they must have co here for him specifically, not just to hang out at the training ground.
"Not bad, what brings you gentlen here?"
Fang Yu was neither overly friendly nor hostile.
After all, they’re all Blue Star Captains, all out here looking for tasks to complete.
These four captains had gone to Lu Kun’s rival, but they were only there to do tasks.
However, being rivals... it’s likely they didn’t co with good intentions.
Sure enough, hearing Fang Yu’s words, the four exchanged glances, then smiled, "You must have awakened the Lord’s talent, right? Otherwise, you wouldn’t be advancing so fast at such a low level."
"I just took a look at your cargo ship, and it’s still unevolved, we’re quite surprised you’re not yet at level ten."
"Honestly, a captain below level ten daring to leave the Safe Sea Region is indeed impressive."
The group lanted, trying to cozy up to Fang Yu.
But Fang Yu wouldn’t have any of it, shaking his head directly, "If you have sothing to say, just get to the point."
"Alright!"
Seeing Fang Yu’s bland attitude, the leader couldn’t help but frown slightly, a hint of irritation in his eyes, but he held his temper and spoke to Fang Yu: "Yesterday we reported eting you to Brother Wang Chen, oh, Brother Wang Chen is currently Lu Kun’s competitor who is assigning you tasks."
"Brother Wang Chen is very interested in you and wants to invite you to join his camp, and he’ll assign you so rewarding tasks."
"So, what do you say? Want to join us? After all, we’re all from the sa place, it’s easier to communicate and work together to kick Lu Kun out of this project. Then we can share the sea mining project among us?"
The leader said warmly, trying to put a hand on Fang Yu’s shoulder.
But Fang Yu subtly avoided the man’s outstretched hand, causing the man to freeze slightly and frown.
"Sorry, I’ve been doing quite well on Lu Kun’s side, so I’m not planning to switch. I must decline your invitation."
Fang Yu shook his head, refusing directly without beating around the bush.
"Not switching?" The four exchanged glances, frowning:
"Why bother? If you co to our side, Lu Kun will eventually be kicked out. Wouldn’t it be better for one to stand alone?"
"We’re all Blue Star Captains, why compete with us?"
The group shook their heads, confused.
However, Fang Yu looked at them as if they were fools, and with a strange expression, he said:
"Gentlen, have you got it wrong... The competition is between Lu Kun and that Wang Chen, as for the Blue Star Captain’s perspective..."
Fang Yu paused, then continued:
"I am the one standing alone, solely controlling Lu Kun’s side."
"I have no competition with you, rather, it’s you four who are competing among yourselves!"
"You’re all competing for Wang Chen’s advancent opportunities."
"Why would I give up a sole advantage to compete with you four for the advancent path?"
"Am I out of my mind or are you?"
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, the four widened their eyes, opened their mouths, but...
Could not think of anything to refute Fang Yu’s words.
Damn it...
It actually makes a lot of sense!
Fang Yu’s words were like a dagger to the four’s prominent arteries, leaving them speechless as they stared at each other.
No...
Wait!
The four suddenly ca to their senses.
We ca here on Wang Chen’s orders to divide Fang Yu and Lu Kun.
But how did Fang Yu’s few words end up dividing us instead?
The main thing is...
After hearing Fang Yu’s words, a strange feeling indeed sprouted within the four.
Yeah!
Fang Yu is right.
On Wang Chen’s side, while there are various projects and tasks to be allocated,
but, who would want to keep doing the sa level of tasks?
Who doesn’t aim to rise? To have a higher position, to gain better resources and tasks?
Yet the advancent pathways are limited, native inhabitants have their share, and Blue Star Captains have to compete and allocate as well.
Among the four, at most, there’s probably only one spot for advancent.
Thinking it over...
The competitors turn out to be companions?
Yet on Lu Kun’s side, it’s different. Currently, only Fang Yu, an Outer Realm Captain, is working, which ans Fang Yu exclusively enjoys an advancent path.
Even if Lu Kun gets kicked out of the sea mining project, he still has other projects in hand.
rchants in the Ji Clan Trading Association, who have reached the level of Lu Kun and Wang Chen, wouldn’t completely lose their position due to a single project’s failure.
Impossible.
Other projects still provide a safety net.
Looking at it this way...
Ouch...
The four felt a twinge of frustration, as if Fang Yu’s words left them bewildered.
They wanted to say sothing, but the words wouldn’t co out when they reached their lips.
All they could do was watch as Fang Yu turned and walked away.
"Uh..."
The four instinctively glanced at one another, seeing the wariness and hesitation in each other’s eyes.
"Hey... guys!"
At this mont, the leader suddenly realized sothing was wrong, quickly coughed, and addressed the others:
"Don’t let him divide us; this guy advanced so quickly before reaching level ten, clearly he’s got so skills. He seems harmless, but with ulterior motives."
"Stay focused, think about it. If we kick Lu Kun out of the sea mining project, wouldn’t Brother Wang Chen have more resources at his disposal?"
"Expanding the cake is also a way to advance."
The leader tily pulled the others back from their strange feelings, then his face turned slightly cold, watching Fang Yu’s distant departing figure:
"This guy is shrewd and poses a threat. We need to quickly go back and discuss it with Brother Wang Chen."
"We can’t let this guy help Lu Kun gain control of the sea mining project, or else not only will we lose the project, but our resources will also dwindle."
"We need to think of a plan..."
He murmured softly.
