After the Starry Night banquet concluded, the elder of the Merfolk Race still wished to invite Fang Yu and others to Qingyue Island for a visit and to set up a banquet to entertain everyone.

Many captains were willing to stop and attend the Merfolk Race's banquet, but Fang Yu was already injured and uninterested in banquets.

So he casually began to heal himself while slowly steering the ship back towards Qiyun Port.

That night, Fang Yu sat alone in the captain's room, quietly taking out the Dice, and directly tossed it into the void.

The Dice kept spinning until it landed on 3.

3!

An ordinary number, but Fang Yu was very satisfied.

He glanced at his experience points on the panel, which directly surged by 30,000.

Level: 15 (12,000/35,000) → 15 (42,000/35,000)

The experience was enough to advance to the next level, but having used today's dice throw, Fang Yu set aside his thoughts of upgrading and focused his main attention on several Radiant Star Stones.

Before the Beast King descended, Fang Yu acquired 25 Basic-level Starlight Stone Fragments. After killing the Beast King and accounting for the doubled dice throw, Fang Yu's panel space now held:

Three Intermediate Star Shining Stones.

9 Basic-level Starlight Stones.

And 45 Basic-level Starlight Stone Fragments, equivalent to two Basic-level Starlight Stones.

A total of 11 Basic-level Starlight Stones, sufficient to advance all Extraordinary Abilities once at the basic level. For second-stage evolution, the captain's level must be raised to 30 to use the Intermediate Star Shining Stones for evolution.

Fang Yu decided to keep the Intermediate Star Shining Stones for a qualitative leap at level 30.

Of course, besides the aforementioned Starlight Stones, this journey to the Star Removal Association also yielded a significant amount of Silver Coins.

That was quite an unexpected financial gain.

Killing the Beast King awarded 1,500 Silver Coins, an incredibly rich reward, almost unbefitting a captain of this level.

However, upon reflection, Fang Yu realized that the 1,500 Silver Coins should have been split among several ship captains.

But having single-handedly killed the Beast King, all the money ended up being awarded to him.

However, the cannon shots, various tools, and ammunition cost quite a bit of money.

Overall, he had 9,500 Silver Coins, but supplementary repairs, Potions, and other items would likely bring it down to about 8,000 Silver Coins.

Even so, it was a substantial profit.

This resolved Fang Yu's previous financial shortage problem.

Although the journey to the Star Removal Association was perilous and left him injured, Fang Yu found it worthwhile.

Just then, Fang Yu heard a sudden commotion from outside the captain's room, as if the crew had encountered something unusual.

Curious, Fang Yu stepped out of the room, setting aside thoughts of using the Starlight Stones to evolve his Extraordinary Abilities, and focused his gaze on the commotion among the crew.

Luo Kuan was standing there, flamboyant, in the center of the group, with a proud and showy posture.

"Luo Kuan, what are you up to?"

Fang Yu asked curiously.

Upon hearing Fang Yu, Luo Kuan turned his head to look at Fang Yu.

"Huh?"

As Luo Kuan's gaze landed on him, Fang Yu let out a small sound of surprise, his internal energy level involuntarily activated, but he quickly subdued it.

In that instant, Fang Yu felt as if when Luo Kuan looked at him, he was being locked in by a master with keen energy detection.

No matter how he dodged, it was as if Luo Kuan could hit him anyway.

Realizing this, Fang Yu felt a bit shocked.

After all, Fang Yu had previously spent a large sum to hire instructors from the Ocean Court to teach him the Concealing Breath Skill.

Apart from his Extraordinary Abilities, Fang Yu's soft skills were also formidable; if he wanted to avoid someone's lock-on, he could easily do so.

But just now, Luo Kuan's energy detection firmly locked onto Fang Yu.

Even though Fang Yu managed to break free using the energy burst within him, forcing him to rely on his internal energy level to escape was evidently quite impressive.

"Luo Kuan, did your Alchemy义眼 evolve?"

Fang Yu quickly noticed something amiss, focusing his gaze on the Alchemy义眼 in Luo Kuan's eyes.

Originally brimming with alchemical technological feel, the义眼 now seemed to transform from a cold technological product into something alive.

The entire eyeball became more vivid and sensitive, covered with some patterns seen on the Star Beast — patterns of pure Extraordinary Abilities.

Witnessing this, Fang Yu suddenly realized that Luo Kuan had possibly evolved his Extraordinary Abilities with the Radiant Star Stone.

After all, each person received a complete Radiant Star Stone as a reward for killing the Beast King.

Plus the Starlight Stone Fragments from slaying Star Beasts.

Currently, everyone on the Salted Fish was equipped with an average of two complete Radiant Star Stones.

Meaning, every crew member on the ship could evolve two different Extraordinary Abilities.

Fang Yu nodded slightly, feeling very satisfied.

After continuous collaboration and integration, Fang Yu's mindset had gradually shifted from an individualistic perspective to a team cooperation mindset.

Improvements in the crew also lead to significant improvements in the ship.
