Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Chapter 698 - 345: Strange Essence Feast (Part 2)



Warlord wars, the chaos of Alien Race in the West Cyan Continent, and the encounters with Alien spiritualists during the wars, these events are not something Fang Yu has forgotten.

So at this moment, when speaking of the West Cyan Continent, Fang Yu is not unfamiliar.

It is a continent where religions, aliens, spiritualists, and even other ancient races dominate.

This attack by the Twelve Wonders of Phantom Forest probably came from a spiritualist sect on the West Cyan Continent.

Fang Yu showed a contemplative expression.

For some reason, he has a special feeling.

It seems the Essence Feast might be intricately linked to yesterday’s attack.

But there’s no evidence, he can’t rashly conclude.

“Four days… Chang Dong said it would take four days before he could sign with me.”

“Why does the Essence Feast have to wait four days? What exactly are they delaying for…”

Fang Yu murmured, a special thought emerged in his mind.

After a moment, a gleam flashed in Fang Yu’s eyes, and without saying a word, he directly sent a message to a friend in the private chat channel on the panel:

“Brother, is the mission done? Do you have time to grab a drink together? It’s on me!”

About half an hour later, in a private room at a bar called Qingyue, Fang Yu sat facing a big man.

“Little brother, as soon as I finished running the task, why did you think of inviting Brother Yue to the bar?”

The big man laughed heartily, looking honest and simple, making people instinctively drop their guard.

He lifted the wine glass on the table, gulped down the carefully crafted drink as if chewing peony, then smacked his lips and called over the waiter to order another glass.

This person is precisely Rude Yue (appeared in Chapter 333) whom Fang Yu and his companions met when they arrived in Nanhui City.

At that time, Fang Yu and Rude Yue became acquainted after a tussle and quickly added each other as friends after clearing up misunderstandings.

At this moment, after the bar waiter brought a newly crafted drink over, Fang Yu couldn’t help but smile, and then spoke:

“Brother, if I didn’t remember wrong, your faction in the Essence Feast is not weak, right?”

“Essence Feast?” Rude Yue was puzzled, then nodded: “Not weak, because I joined a few years earlier than you and after managing carefully for a while, I gradually escalated the force level of the Essence Feast.”

“What? Are you thinking of joining the Essence Feast and need me to introduce you?”

Rude Yue grinned broadly, speaking simply and cheerfully, making people feel a sense of goodwill.

“No…it’s just that I recently encountered some things that make me feel uneasy, so I want to talk to Brother Yue.”

“Hmm?”

Rude Yue looked at Fang Yu in surprise.

Fang Yu then began to recount the events he encountered in recent days to Rude Yue.

Of course, many details, including Yan Yu’s matters, were not mentioned, only saying he sensed the abilities and methods of spiritualists in the West Qinghai Sea Region.

After finishing in one breath, Fang Yu took a sip of the drink in front of him, then spoke nonchalantly:

“Brother, you’ve spent quite some time in the Essence Feast, I want to ask you, has the Essence Feast ever done business with spiritualists over in the West Qinghai Sea Region?”

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, a hint of change flickered on Rude Yue’s face, and he whispered: “You suspect the people who attacked you, are behind the Essence Feast? But why would they do this?”

“I don’t know, which is why I’m investigating now.”

Fang Yu spread his hands, speaking as if it’s expected.

Rude Yue hesitated, showing an expression of being caught in two minds: “Little brother… I’m at least a B-level employee in the Essence Feast, and I am relying on the tasks from the Essence Feast to live on later. It wouldn’t be good to casually leak company secrets.”

Rude Yue’s face showed reluctance, paired with his honest and simple appearance, it seemed he was indeed torn inside.

Yet Fang Yu understood the underlying meaning in Rude Yue’s words, he smiled and glanced at Rude Yue.

This guy, though appearing rough and simple, is actually quite insightful, adept at the ways of the world.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu slowly pushed out a business card, then lowered his voice: “Brother, this is the business card of the Sky Dome Technology’s boss, coincidentally during this period I’ve been discussing some collaborations with Sky Dome Technology, so you don’t need to worry about future issues with the Essence Feast, even if problems arise, I can find you a way out.”

Gazing at the card Fang Yu handed over, Rude Yue was delighted, his smile growing more sincere.

He subtly accepted the card from Fang Yu, carefully put it away, then whispered: “Little brother, then I shall speak plainly.”

“Two years ago, the Essence Feast indeed transported quite a bit of cargo to the West Cyan Continent. It’s said that the spiritualist sects in the West Cyan Continent also require these resources for their cultivation.”

“But the business of the Essence Feast almost covers the entire Ocean World, so this matter did not arouse anyone’s suspicion.”

“However, actually there is some trickery, because after transporting a few times initially, the Essence Feast gradually stopped hiring our Blue Star Captains for this business, instead using the native people trained by the company to run this business, don’t you think… if there wasn’t some trickery, why would they make such exceptions?”

Rude Yue lowered his voice, speaking softly.

Upon hearing Rude Yue’s words, Fang Yu’s eyes flashed a gleam, but merely Rude Yue’s account could not completely prove that the Essence Feast had connections with the West Cyan Continent.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu softly spoke: “Brother, I might need you to help me investigate some matters.”

“Speak it!”

With the way out via Sky Dome Technology introduced by Fang Yu, Rude Yue gained much confidence.

He was already an old hand, having listened to Fang Yu’s words, he certainly felt there seemed to be some issue with the Essence Feast.

Behind Fang Yu stands the South Island military system, representing a major political force within the South Island Continent. If there is a problem with the Essence Feast, it would be the Essence Feast that disappears, not the South Island military system.

Previously, he worried that if the Essence Feast did have problems and disappeared, his hard work within the Essence Feast would turn into nothing.

Fang Yu had already seen through Rude Yue’s worries, which is why he introduced the path to Sky Dome Technology.

Now with a way out, Rude Yue no longer hesitated, decisively choosing to take Fang Yu’s side.

Perceiving the change in Rude Yue’s attitude, Fang Yu couldn’t help but smile, feeling much calmer inside.

He slowly spoke: “I need you to help me with a few things…”

“Firstly, keep an eye on what moves the Essence Feast has planned in the coming few days within the company, brother, you can mobilize your old friends, I can promise that anyone who helps with this will get an introduction to Sky Dome Technology.”

“I am very curious why Chang Dong is delaying the signing of the contract, insisting on responding after four days.”

Upon hearing Fang Yu’s words, a gleam flashed in Rude Yue’s eyes and he nodded: “That’s no problem, many of my old friends are deeply rooted in the Essence Feast, and any movement in the company will soon be known.”

“Secondly?”

“Secondly…”

Fang Yu thought for a moment, then whispered: “Investigate the trickery between the Essence Feast and the West Cyan Continent, the feeling of unease in my heart is not baseless, I need some evidence… evidence that can prove those who acted that day are associated with the Essence Feast.”

“Alright!”

Rude Yue agreed without hesitation: “This matter is on me, Fang Yu brother, rest assured!”

“In that case, thanks a lot, brother!”

Fang Yu smiled as he lifted his glass to clink with Rude Yue.

After briefly exchanging a few more words, Fang Yu settled the bill and parted ways with Rude Yue.

As he walked back to the ocean ship, although Fang Yu slightly breathed a sigh of relief, he still harbored concerns.

His thoughts were not of the Essence Feast matter.

Since with Rude Yue’s help investigating, there should be some progress soon.

What Fang Yu was pondering at this moment, however, was the progress of his own cultivation.

To advance to the Extraordinary Ship, both mutation and physical consolidation need to attain the second level to have a chance to advance.

But… currently the hope resting on the Essence Feast route is no longer viable.

Before fully investigating the Essence Feast, Fang Yu doesn’t want to leave a grip on the Essence Feast.

So where should the resources needed for advancement be acquired from?

Fang Yu pondered silently within.

But just as he was worrying, suddenly a figure swiftly walked towards him from the roadside and approached Fang Yu.

“Are you Fang Yu?”

“May I have a word?”
