Chapter 80 The Birth of the Supreme Being! The Disk of Nothingness
"The secret of a disc?"
Lu Yan stopped moving.
He didn't turn around, but stood with his back to Barbossa, calmly asking, "What disc?"
Barbossa shook the rum bottle in his hand, a glint of light flashing in his single eye. He took two steps forward, lowered his voice, and said in a volume only the two of them could hear, "A disc that doesn't belong to this world. Kid, you brought more than just those shiny scraps of metal from the temple."
Xiao Qianyu's spear tip moved forward another half inch, almost touching Barbosa's leather boots.
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Although the members of the first squad couldn't hear what they were saying, they instinctively surrounded Barbossa.
"You'd better think carefully before you speak," Xiao Qianyu said coldly.
Barbossa laughed, spreading his hands. "Don't be nervous, little girl. If I wanted to make a move, I wouldn't have waited until now. I'm just a businessman, and what businessmen love most is exchanging information."
"Three hundred million for a secret you already know. It's a good deal." Barbossa's one eye stared at Lu Yan's back, as if trying to see through something.
Lu Yan turned around, his face revealing no emotion.
He ignored Barbosa's sales pitch and looked directly at Xiao Qianyu: "Everyone, take stock of the spoils and prepare to return."
This reaction was unexpected by everyone.
"Hey kid!" Barbossa was getting impatient. "This is a top secret that concerns your life and fortune!"
"Zhao Leiguang," Lu Yan called out.
"Here!" Zhao Leiguang planted the two tattered shields into the sand with a dull thud.
"Please invite him onto the ship." Lu Yan's tone was calm. "If he's unwilling, then give him a hand."
"Alright!" Zhao Leiguang grinned maliciously, cracking his knuckles.
Barbossa looked at Zhao Leiguang, who was two heads taller than him, and then at the group of Awakened Ones watching him intently. He wisely raised his hands and said, "Fine, fine, I'll go with you. Young man, don't be so impulsive."
He knew that this seemingly harmless young man was far more troublesome than he appeared. The value of intelligence lies in information asymmetry; since the other party wasn't responding, no matter how much he tried to sell, it would be futile.
The minor incident was thus resolved.
The Chinese team began operating efficiently, counting, sorting, and packing in one smooth motion. The ghost ship's deck was soon piled high with spoils, the legendary equipment radiating an orange glow making Barbossa's one eye nearly pop out.
Lu Yan walked alone to the stern of the ship, leaned against the railing, and pretended to admire the scenery, but his mind was already immersed in his storage space.
He wasn't in a hurry to deal with Barbossa. A greedy pirate, no matter how much he knew, couldn't cause any trouble in the face of absolute power.
Right now, the most important thing is to figure out what that disc is.
Inside the storage compartment, the palm-sized disc floated silently. The spiral patterns no longer glowed; it was plain and unadorned, like a crudely made stone tool.
【The Plate of Nothingness】
[Quality: Supreme]
[Bound by: Lu Yan]
[Effect 1 (Active): Void Cage.]
[Upon activation, it can forcibly block the designated target and all hostile units within a 50-meter radius, dragging them into an isolated void space for 60 seconds.]
During the lockdown, all skills, talents, and equipment effects of all targets within the space (including the caster) will be forcibly disabled (including but not limited to: invisibility, flight, dispel, invincibility, teleportation, resurrection, damage reduction, and all other rule-based abilities).
Within the void, all units' base attributes will be reset to their initial stats (without any bonuses).
Cooldown time: 72 hour.
[Effect 2 (Passive): Talent Plunder.]
Within the void, for each successful kill of a target, the caster will randomly steal 5 talent points from that target (which can be freely allocated). The target will permanently lose 5 levels, and this loss cannot be recovered by any means.
[Note: This effect will only apply to the same target once in its lifetime.]
[Description: It does not belong to this dimension, this era, or perhaps even to you. When the seven fragments reunite, a higher gaze will fall upon it. Use with caution; each plunder may bring you greater clarity in the eyes of the 'gods.']
Lu Yan read it three times.
He could see every single word and every punctuation mark clearly.
ecstasy?
No, that's not enough to describe his feelings at that moment.
It was a feeling akin to the shock of discovering an oasis after months of trekking through the desert, on the verge of dying of thirst.
This is no longer just a piece of equipment.
These are the rules, the laws, and the magic weapon for overwhelming the enemy!
Force a complete lockdown!
No matter how powerful you are, whether you are a top tank with invincible skills or an assassin who can teleport infinitely, once you are pulled into this "void prison", all your trump cards will be wiped out.
And this is precisely Lu Yan's strongest domain!
Even more terrifying is [Talent Stealing].
Lowered by 5 levels!
What does this mean? In this world where level determines everything, losing 5 levels is more painful than killing them.
Most importantly, it allows you to acquire talent points!
Talent points are the foundation that awakened beings are born with, and are the core resource that determines the upper limit of a profession. There is absolutely no way to acquire them later in life.
But this "Disc of Nothingness" breaks this ironclad rule.
It turns enemies into experience packs to be harvested, and into leeks that can provide nourishment for itself!
His biggest worry has always been that he is a "weak" support character who has a god-level cheat ability like "100x drop rate" but lacks the ability to protect himself and can only rely on the country as a big tree.
But now, everything is different.
With the [Void Board], he had the confidence to overturn the chessboard.
He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the surging emotions within him.
"What's wrong? You seem so engrossed in looking at the sea."
Xiao Qianyu's voice came from behind, and she handed over a bottle of water.
"fine."
Xiao Qianyu glanced at him, but didn't ask any further questions. She simply followed his gaze to the sea.
"This harvest has exceeded everyone's expectations," she said softly. "Three sets of S-grade legendary armor, eleven S-grade individual pieces, and one hundred and thirty-seven A-grade armor sets. These alone are enough to elevate our overall strength to a new level. Not to mention the massive amount of materials."
Lei Zhan and his team are ecstatic.
Lu Yan followed her gaze and saw Zhao Leiguang and Lei Zhan on the deck, grinning foolishly while holding a legendary heavy armor. The members of the seventh and eighth teams were also excitedly discussing something.
This harvest was enough to allow them all to upgrade their weapons.
"Oh, right," Xiao Qianyu said, as if remembering something, "what should we do with that pirate?"
"Let's go back first." Lu Yan's gaze fell on the crooked coconut tree in the distance. "He knows some things we don't. But there's no rush. Once we've digested what we've learned this time, we'll have plenty of time to talk to him slowly."
His mindset is completely different now than before.
The ghost ship broke through the water and, piloted by Barbossa, headed towards China.
