I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Han Zhan thought for a moment and showed a slightly apologetic smile.

”Sorry, you’re too late, they’re all dead.”

The vague figure conjured on the flag fell silent.

”Fan Benhua is not dead yet, have him and the ’Hunting Halberd Whale’ return, and I will bestow upon you—”

The East King hadn’t finished speaking.

When a clear sound of a neck being snapped was heard.

Han Zhan rose from beside the Fishman general, still maintaining a smile on his face.

”Now, they really are all dead.”

”You—”

The vague figure was about to speak again, but the flag on the ’Hunting Halberd Whale’ was torn to pieces by a sword’s light, and the conjured figure disappeared.

It was clear that the East King’s flag was some kind of special artifact that could communicate over great distances.

For a leader who needed to command many subordinates, it was indeed a useful tool.

”You’ve killed him, does this mean you’ve completely offended the East King?” asked Gongyang Jin beside him.

Han Zhan looked at the ship full of Fishman corpses and shook his head.

”Even if I hadn’t killed this Fishman general, would the East King have shown me kindness?”

Definitely not.

”At best, he would have ordered us to join his faction, to become his subordinates, and to work for him.”

Otherwise, the East King wouldn’t allow them to join other factions or raise a threat like a tiger not controlled.

Han Zhan wasn’t accustomed to living under others, and conflict with the East King was inevitable, as was the case with other factions.

This is the Water Planet, a world of sea battles,

not a place to make friends.

”What about the other two ships, what’s the situation?” After explaining, Han Zhan turned to ask Shang Siteng.

While they were engaging in close-quarters battle with Fan Benhua’s ’Hunting Halberd Whale’, the other Contracted Spirit girls weren’t idle.

Shang Siteng, who was responsible for monitoring the movements of the other two warships, opened her mouth to answer when Han Zhan inquired:

”Those two ships have not approached here, remaining in a state of observation.”

”Judging by their draft, they might be cargo and supply ships carrying goods and materials.”

”Because their sailing route is the same as ours, heading to Saint-Teres Port.”

Looking at the sea chart, this area of the sea only has one supply point.

Most likely, the ’Hunting Halberd Whale’ was escorting two cargo ships to Saint-Teres Port for trade and resupply.

”Since they’re still observing and haven’t fled, it’s likely they don’t know what happened here.”

”The East King’s flag is only on the flagship, and those two ships did not hoist it, so they are not informed.”

Cargo ships?

Materials and goods?

Han Zhan’s eyes lit up upon hearing this; isn’t this a ripe batch of spoils?

Indeed, plundering is the only way to get rich quickly at sea!

Han Zhan hadn’t sunk the ’Hunting Halberd Whale’ because this was one of his spoils too.

Under the binding of the Soul-Seeking Rope, the ’Gray Sparrow’ and the ’Hunting Halberd Whale’ approached the two ships waiting on the sea surface.

After a while,

as they saw the two warships returning triumphantly, the Fishman crew on the cargo ships cheered excitedly.

Just like every time the ’Hunting Halberd Whale’ returned victoriously.

Then, they saw Han Zhan standing at the bow, holding a head, which seemed to be... Fan Benhua’s head!

All the Fishmen were in a state of mental breakdown.

Falling from the clouds into the abyss, this is probably what it felt like.

Soon, these Fishmen, with no chance to escape, followed Fan Benhua into the next life.

The Fishman Race had a mortal feud with the ’Gray Sparrow’, and Han Zhan couldn’t let them live.

After clearing out the remaining small fry on the two ships, it was time to tally up the spoils.

The first ship was a supply ship with provisions mostly comprised of food and medicine.

Having sailed the seas for quite some time, especially with an additional suspect of following the hunger path Big Golden Fur on board, the ’Gray Sparrow’s’ food supply indeed saw significant consumption.

With the supplies from this ship, the variety, quality, and quantity of provisions saw a significant upgrade.

Moreover, they could take the surplus, unsuitably selected provisions to Saint-Teres Port to sell, which would likely fetch a considerable amount of water currency.

The second ship was a cargo ship, transporting the spoils of Fan Benhua as the East King’s Thirteenth Court in the Central Sea Area.

Among these spoils were special minerals and wooden materials, various ballast stones salvaged from destroyed warships, and even a cabin full of captives!

There were no special artifacts Han Zhan wanted; these things were likely hard currency urgently needed in the Central Sea Area, not something to sell.

Han Zhan’s attention was mainly drawn to the captives in the cabin.

There were about twenty captives, all young women.

They were all dressed in sheer white gauze, barely covering critical parts, with graceful and voluptuous figures.

Han Zhan inadvertently glanced a few more times, only to have his ear tugged by Gongyang Jin.

”Xiao Jin, calm down, I’m looking at their attribute introductions!” Han Zhan hurriedly explained.

Since they were captives, and thus spoils for the ’Gray Sparrow’, according to Water Planet’s game rules, their NPC information could be directly viewed.

In Han Zhan’s eyes, their information appeared:

”Unparalleled Cannon Princess, level 80, special-type NPC.”

”Talent: Proficient in various gunnery techniques, loading speed increased by 500%, shell accuracy increased by 500%, shell power increased by 300%.”

This talent is quite incredible?!

Simple, practical, and straightforward.

She truly lives up to her name as a genuine Unparalleled Cannon Princess!

Seeing this, even well-traveled Han Zhan couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment.

Such a powerful NPC, and Fan Benhua intended to sell them? Is there something wrong with his mind?

Curious, Han Zhan continued to read on, quickly discovering why Fan Benhua wanted to sell them.

”The Unparalleled Cannon Princess has three exceptions: 1. Will not fire non-special shells, must load two special shells each time; 2. Will not fire from non-human ships, the proportion of females on board must be 50% or more; 3. Will not fire unless in a ’Delicious Satisfaction’ state, requires enjoying gourmet meals to gain the ’Delicious Satisfaction’ effect.”

Three exceptions?

After reading this description, Han Zhan couldn’t help but click his tongue.

This isn’t an Unparalleled Cannon Princess, but rather a gold-eating beast.

It must be special shells, loading two each time; what ship can withstand such extravagance?

Human ships are already weak at sea, and a purely human ship is almost nonexistent; having over 50% females raises the difficulty even more.

As for the last one, enjoying gourmet food, that’s even more elusive.

Any delicious food can be tiresome one day; who can afford to employ an SSS-level chef specifically for cooking gourmet meals?

To use an Unparalleled Cannon Princess, one must have the qualifications.

Without qualifications, you can only sell them.

Even the East King couldn’t gather a ship meeting all three conditions for the Unparalleled Cannon Princess, so who could?

—”The Gray Sparrow” can!
