Chapter 92: Red Vessel-Mounted Artillery

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Red Vessel-Mounted Artillery

On the deck, everyone was staring at the [Heart of Fire Element] in Lin Ji’s hand, which emitted a strange fiery glow.

Especially Qin Yao, who had just descended the stairs.

Her wild, peach-blossom eyes were practically glowing red with intensity.

For a Fire-type Awakener, this thing was simply a fatal temptation.

However, Lin Ji didn’t keep it for himself, nor did he pay any attention to Qin Yao’s almost predatory gaze.

He casually tossed the priceless treasure to Tang Ling, who was still in a daze.

"Since you dug it out from the crevice, it’s yours to use for now."

Lin Ji patted Tang Ling’s shoulder, his tone indifferent.

"With this infinitely rechargeable super heat source, you’ll find it much easier to fire up the furnace for forging and crafting equipment in the future."

"Consider it a high-end power bank for our ship’s chief blacksmith."

Tang Ling clumsily cradled the Heart of Fire Element, trembling with excitement.

Her tight white T-shirt, soaked with fragrant sweat, clung tightly to her skin, unable to conceal her rapid breathing.

The astonishing pair of headlights on her chest heaved violently with her movements.

As if they might burst through the thin fabric at any moment.

"Thank you, boss! I love you so much!"

Tang Ling’s face flushed with excitement as she threw herself into Lin Ji’s arms without a second thought, giving him a solid, tight hug.

Those two astonishingly soft mounds slammed hard against Lin Ji’s firm chest.

Their incredible elasticity allowed Lin Ji to clearly feel the waves of intoxicating pressure.

Seeing this, Qin Yao bit her red lips with envy.

But she knew that as a newcomer who had just boarded the ship, she had no right to make demands.

She could only suppress the longing in her heart.

"Now that we have the power source, what we lack most is weaponry."

Ignoring the women’s thoughts, Lin Ji scanned the group.

"Has anyone seen any reliable Vessel weapon blueprints in the Trading House?"

Hearing this, Qin Yao, clad in tight leather, brightened up and stepped forward.

She walked up to Lin Ji, carrying a wave of scorching, fragrant air, and let out an extremely seductive laugh.

Then, under the astonished gazes of the other women.

Qin Yao actually reached into her deep, proud cleavage and pulled out a faintly glowing red parchment scroll!

"Captain, why bother with the Trading House?"

Qin Yao handed the blueprint, still warm and fragrant from her body, to Lin Ji, lightly tracing her fingertip across his palm in the process.

"This is a Red Quality blueprint I obtained from solo-killing a LV4 mutated sea beast."

"Will this be enough as my contribution to join the crew?"

Lin Ji felt a slight warmth in his heart from her bold gesture.

He took the blueprint and looked at it.

[Lava Heavy Destruction Cannon (Red Quality)]!

Lin Ji’s eyes immediately lit up—this was exactly the vessel-mounted firepower he needed most right now!

"Well done!"

Lin Ji praised her without hesitation.

"I’ll note this as a major contribution. Once we’re settled, I’ll make sure to properly compensate you."

Qin Yao, upon hearing this, extended her crimson tongue to lick her red lips.

She deliberately arched her chest, accentuating that snowy white expanse, her voice dripping with seduction, as if it could melt into water:

"Compensation isn’t necessary..."

"As long as the Captain shows me a little more favor in the future~"

Seeing her brazenly wanton and flirtatious display, all the women present frowned.

Especially the aloof Su Qingyue, who made no effort to conceal the disgust in her eyes.

She turned away coldly, cursing silently in her heart.

"Shameless vixen."

With the blueprint in hand, Lin Ji immediately instructed Tang Ling to take stock of the required materials.

"Boss, we have most of the basic materials."

"The Fire-Resistant Crystal Sand we mined in the cave earlier can also be put to use."

Tang Ling, holding a toolkit, quickly cross-checked the requirements on the blueprint.

"But we’re still short of five units of High-grade Fire-resistant Cast Iron. We’ll have to buy that from the Trading House."

Without hesitation, Lin Ji opened the Trading House.

Gritting his teeth, he spent 500 Evolution Points, forcibly buying up the remaining materials at a premium price.

"Materials are ready, fire up the furnace!"

With the terrifying amplification from the Heart of Fire Element, Tang Ling handled the furnace operation with ease this time.

The Crimson Sky Forge spewed astonishing purple flames.

All the materials were perfectly melted and reshaped in an extremely short time.

As a dazzling red light shot into the sky!

A heavy cannon with a ferocious design, its barrel covered in dark red lava patterns, was successfully materialized and firmly installed on the front deck of the ironclad vessel!

[Ding! Vessel successfully equipped with Red Weapon, armament value significantly increased: +200 points!]

Lin Ji stepped forward, running his fingers over the cold cannon barrel as he examined its detailed description.

After reading it, he instantly drew a sharp breath.

[Lava Heavy Destruction Cannon (Red Quality)]

[Description: A ferocious weapon combining forge technology with lava crystallization.]

[Function One: Lava Blast. Consumes one Fire-type Crystal Core or one ton of coal to fire a lava shell containing extreme high temperatures.

Deals devastating single-target physical armor-piercing damage and applies a continuous burning effect within a thirty-meter radius.]

[Function Two: Hellfire Net (Overload Mode). Continuously input fire-type Spiritual Power or consume high-grade fire-type energy sources to place the cannon barrel in an overloaded red-hot state.

Can continuously fire dozens of low-yield lava shells like a shotgun, forming a seamless fire coverage net. (Note: Requires a two-hour cooldown after use; otherwise, the barrel risks exploding.)]

Although each shot from this thing consumes an absolutely terrifying amount!

The price paid is exchanged for overwhelmingly destructive power!

A single shot not only deals widespread lava splash damage but can even severely injure a Level 4 Sea Monster!

"If my current Level 3 ironclad vessel were to take a hit like that..."

Lin Ji silently estimated in his mind.

"It would probably be blown into scattered scrap metal with just one shot."

With such a formidable weapon to hold the fort, Lin Ji finally felt a glimmer of confidence.

He stood on the deck, lightly tapping his fingertips against the cold cannon body.

The power of this cannon was indeed astonishing, but it also made him more clearly aware of the terror of a vessel’s firepower suppression.

If it were his own Level 3 ironclad ship facing those larger guilds with more resources and earlier development, the consequences would be unimaginable once caught in a firepower barrage.

Lin Ji turned his head and looked at Qin Yao, who was examining the cannon with great interest.

"You’ve been with the Apocalypse Guild. Given their strength, what level of firepower configuration does Gu Tianming’s main ship have?"

Lin Ji asked casually, yet his gaze was sharp.

Upon hearing this question, the seductive smile on Qin Yao’s face faded slightly.

She glanced at Lin Ji and revealed a self-mocking bitter smile.

"This Red cannon of yours is indeed powerful—it would definitely be a trump card in an ordinary squad."

"But on Gu Tianming’s main ship..."

Qin Yao took a deep breath, a trace of apprehension flashing in her eyes.

"They have as many as seven Red cannons of this level!"
