Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 426 - 239: My Brother Meng Biao! (Part 2)

Meng Biao coughed lightly and quickly explained, "Brother, it’s not that I’m not giving you the reward, but the military affairs on the front line haven’t involved you. Although you’ve achieved impressive results, you didn’t notify me in advance or take on the task beforehand. According to regulations, I can’t apply for a reward for you."

Fang Yu sneered, glanced at Meng Biao, and then said slowly, "Old Meng... your style is a bit strange. If it were Major Kong in charge, hearing that you wiped out over a thousand enemy ships with the loss of only a hundred of our warships, he’d be grinning from ear to ear and eager to trace back the military achievements."

"Yet here with you... there’s no reward?"

"It seems like you’re not too happy about the news that over a thousand enemy ships were destroyed."

Fang Yu looked at Meng Biao with suspicious eyes, then rested his chin as if deep in thought, "Should I discuss this with Mr. Kong..."

Hearing Fang Yu’s words, Meng Biao was taken aback and began to quickly weigh his options.

He thought for a moment and suddenly realized that his behavior was indeed a bit strange.

A typical commander, upon hearing that over a thousand, possibly close to two thousand, enemy units were lost while our side only lost a little over a hundred ships, would be overjoyed and heavily reward his men.

But I blocked the rewards, conveying a sense of suppression instead.

If Fang Yu really tells Kong Huaao, and Kong Huaao investigates, it could easily cause issues.

Thinking carefully, Meng Biao understood.

Yeah...

The reward, in fact, doesn’t cost me anything.

Even if it pleases Fang Yu, it’s nothing compared to the risk of exposing my identity.

Let’s not ruin big plans over a minor task suppression.

Besides...the higher-ups have begun arranging for Fang Yu to be brought into the picture, to extract the traitor’s identity from him.

At that time, either way, Fang Yu will be besieged and killed on the spot, and the traitor’s identity will come to light.

No need to arouse suspicion over such trivial matters.

As for Fang Yu?

Let him enjoy it for now. When settling scores after the fact, he won’t even be able to keep his life, so what does a simple task reward matter?

I should not only reward Fang Yu, but also heavily reward him! Generously!

Top-level rewards!

Upon figuring it out, Meng Biao immediately snapped back to reality, then energetically laughed heartily at Fang Yu, "Haha, Brother Fang Yu, just joking with you!"

"Brother Fang Yu, your military tactics are extraordinary, moving with ease. Hearing your feats brings joy every day in the command room, and I’ve long wanted to reward you well."

Meng Biao gestured grandly, and then a notification sounded in Fang Yu’s mind:

"Congratulations, Captain [Fang Yu], for completing the task [Frontline Support], everyone gets +600,000 experience points, +2 Intermediate Stamina Potions, +2 Intermediate Personal Defense Scrolls, +1 Standard Weapon."

"Lord [Fang Yu] additionally receives +1200 military achievement points, +1 Secret Treasure [Thunderstorm Realm]."

Not only a reward but a heavy reward, a significant reward.

Since Fang Yu is already a dead man, any reward will do.

Meng Biao thought to himself, not feeling any regret about the reward.

At this moment, upon hearing the notification in his mind, Fang Yu’s eyes widened with delight, feeling extremely pleased.

What the hell...

This Meng Biao... is really a good brother from the opposing forces!

Directly awarding Fang Yu 600,000 experience, which shocked him.

To know that previously, when Kong Huaao returned from the Sea Mine Battle and settled the main task reward, it wasn’t even as much as this.

Unexpectedly, Meng Biao just handed over such an amount of experience.

Not only that, among the rewards was a Secret Treasure.

Fang Yu was no stranger to the benefits of Secret Treasures.

Like the Quicksand Sea Region, Toad Sea Beast, the mysterious box used by Zhang Wangyue, Ocean’s Sigh, these Secret Treasures often produce excellent combat effects.

Every Secret Treasure is essentially a captain’s trump card.

And now, Fang Yu also acquired a Secret Treasure from Meng Biao.

[Thunderstorm Realm]: Transform this sea region into a thunderstorm environment, where the enemy, positioned in the Thunderstorm Realm, will suffer a lightning strike every 5 seconds. The power depends on the energy level of the sea.

In addition, fire and lightning-based attacks gain a 50% increase in power within this realm.

Duration: Based on the user’s stamina, consumes approximately 3 times extraordinary attack per second.

Note: If numerous enemies are present, they share the lightning damage, if only a single enemy is present, they endure full lightning damage.

Great stuff!

Fang Yu was inwardly ecstatic, promptly patting Meng Biao on the shoulder, putting his arm around his shoulder, "My good brother, Old Meng! Being brothers at heart!"

You know what.

With the task assured, Fang Yu now found Old Meng more pleasing to the eye, so much so that he didn’t want to plot against him.

Never mind, when it truly comes to a confrontation, at least leave him a whole body.

My brother deserves to be intact!

Fang Yu thought inwardly.

At this moment, Meng Biao also amiably put his arm around Fang Yu’s shoulder, sharing the brotherly bond.

"My good brother Fang Yu!"

Meng Biao said warmly, eyes genuine.

I will surely set up a grand scene to be your final resting place, so you’ll pass with weight.
