That night, Fang Yu and Cheng Peng chatted for a long time, and Fang Yu also talked with Cheng Peng about some matters concerning the Peacekeeping Council.

However, at the current stage, this matter has not yet erupted, and what is important to Fang Yu is not this matter, but the main quest in front of him - [Alien Conflict].

So his conversation with Cheng Peng was more like a listener, and after roughly understanding the course of events, he paid a little attention.

As for investigation and follow-up, it's better to leave those to Cheng Peng and others.

After all, although the Peacekeeping Council concerns all Blue Star Captains, only those with the financial clout of a consortium are suitable to intervene in the investigation.

As for individual captains, it's best to focus on the matters at hand.

...

Early the next morning, Fang Yu stopped suppressing his level and directly spent 35,000 experience points to raise his level to 16.

Accordingly, for the Lord Points gained from leveling up, Fang Yu also made his allocation.

He rolled a 2.

Without hesitation, Fang Yu invested one of the points in himself.

His Energy Level rose from 13.6 to 14.6.

As for the remaining point...

Fang Yu didn't hesitate and directly invested it in the ship.

[Thick Armor Breathing lv.4→5 (max)]

Recovery Ability: 5%→10%/minute

Base Armor: 300→500

Lord Amplification: 15X Lord Ability Level

Each enchantment on the ship modifications can receive 4 investment opportunities from Lord Points.

The level cap is 5.

Previously, Thick Armor Breathing had already been invested with 3 Lord Points by Fang Yu.

Now, Fang Yu directly applied the last Lord Point, which boosted Thick Armor Breathing's capability to the top level.

And it was in this upgrade from level 4 to max that the change in values was very significant, far more substantial than the previous investments.

The turtle shell of the shield was enhanced, similarly elevating the turtle shell of the ship.

However, Fang Yu was no longer satisfied with the modification cap of a medium freighter now.

Or rather, the modifications of the Salted Fish had basically reached their limit.

To go further, the ship needs to upgrade to a large freighter, raising the modification limits and expanding the ship's potential.

However, to upgrade to a large freighter, Fang Yu's current level is far from sufficient.

Level 20 is the next qualitative upgrade opportunity for the ship to become a large freighter.

Given Fang Yu's current level, he needs a lot more experience to realize a qualitative transformation of the ship.

Experience... Experience!

The experience required for the next level has risen to 40,000 points.

The increasing demand for experience directed Fang Yu's attention to the main quest.

At present, for Fang Yu, the returns from the main quest can be described as "very substantial."

Make no mistake, this substantial return doesn't come from the quest itself, but from various enhancements.

Faction Levels, the Main Quest initiator's extra 20% bonus, and Ma's leadership skill enhancement bringing a 50% mission experience bonus.

These three boosts can elevate the main quest's experience to a very considerable level.

The main aim of the Star Removal Association is to hunt Star Beasts, obtain Radiant Star Stones, and evolve one's Extraordinary Ability.

But within the Star Removal Association, there aren't suitable tasks to leverage Ma's leadership skills.

However, with the ongoing main quest, Ma's leadership skills can play a huge role here, truly allowing Fang Yu's level to catch up with those high-ranking players on the battle leaderboard.

"Captain! Captain! Check out the forum!"

At this moment, the excited voices of the crew came from outside the door.

"What's up?"

Fang Yu was stunned, opened the door, and looked at everyone puzzled.

He saw Luo Kuan and others huddled together, happily discussing something.

When they saw Fang Yu come out of the captain's cabin, they eagerly said to Fang Yu, "Captain, you made it onto the battle ranking! And your rank is quite high!"

"Hmm?"

Fang Yu was taken aback and instinctively opened the forum, specifically clicking on the leaderboard section.

Soon, he saw the updated battle ranking.

"Friends, through this Star Removal Association's performance, several dark horse captains have successfully entered our sight."

"And among these captains, there is one absolute dark horse, becoming the biggest winner of this Star Removal Association."

The updater of the ranking briefly introduced the prequel to this update of the battle ranking.

Fang Yu skipped this part and began searching for his name on the battle leaderboard.

As his gaze swept across it.

Soon, he found his name on the battle leaderboard:

Fang Yu, Battle Ranking: 30

30?

Fang Yu was somewhat surprised, looking at the ranking explanation.

"Fang Yu is definitely the biggest dark horse of this Star Removal Association, also the most dazzling presence."

"Achieving single-handedly killing the Star Beast King, becoming the biggest winner at the Star Removal Association."

Fang Yu's gaze continued down and surprisingly saw comments from his crew under his ranking.

A certain handsome fellow unwilling to disclose his name (Fang Yu's forum friend note: Luo Kuan): What the heck is this ranking? I think Captain Fang Yu is awesome and badass, single-handedly killing the Beast King, how is he only ranked 30th? I strongly suspect foul play.

Ran (Fang Yu's note: Du Ran): Exactly, exactly, the people sorting the ranking have obviously never faced the Beast King directly, they don't understand the pressure and strength of the Beast King, to be able to single-handedly kill the Beast King, I think he can definitely break into the Top 10!
