Master of the End Times

Chapter 679: A Third Hand

They did not have to wait long.

The Glutton was completed once its outer shell had been painted with another unique synthetic compound, which combined dark runes with the hardest metal ability.

The Glutton had been turned into a half-machine, half-monster behemoth.

It might seem pretty awesome to an outsider, but only Yu Yangtao who was now a part of the organization knew just how terrifying the Glutton’s value had become.

The cost of retrofitting the Glutton was probably ten times the value of the Deep-sea Feng Li.

Precisely, Qin Feng had spent 30 trillion on the Glutton. Nevertheless, he still had a net profit since the reward for killing the Glutton was worth 50 trillion.

Two days later, Qin Feng and Yu Yangtao set sail on the Glutton.

“The Glutton is being controlled by my consciousness. The core of this bio-machine has been completely sealed. It would take an A-tier’s strongest attack to destroy it, provided that the A-tier could first infiltrate the Glutton all the way into this control room,” Qin Feng began to explain the internal structure, “Thus, I have absolute control over this machine. I am authorizing the second-tier control to you. You would have the authority to select deputy captains and other crew members, such as sailors and gunners.”

“Noted, President.” Yu Yangtao nodded modestly.

There were currently more than a hundred C-tier gunners on board. Among them, five men were Yu Yangtao’s old crew who did not betray him after he went missing. As for the few who had bolted with his belongings, Yu Yangtao had not been merciful. He was gone for a few days after returning to the port and came back with a bloody scent all over his body.

Qin Feng paid little attention to the trivial details. He had arrived at the East Sea for six days now. Though there were some unexpected accidents in between, he was still on course with his initial plan. In fact, things had turned out far better than he originally anticipated.

“Set sail!” Qin Feng ordered.

Yu Yangtao immediately connected with the Glutton through his consciousness. Under his command, the beast moved responsively like a living creature.

The Glutton’s appearance was as daunting and majestic as ever.

Soon, the behemoth had left the port and surfed toward the estuary.

The other vessels stopped by and watched as the Glutton made its way into the open sea.

Once it entered the sea, the Glutton exerted its aura and deterred all nearby sea beasts. This was in stark contrast to the first day Qin Feng had set sail.

Yu Yangtao controlled the Glutton to head toward the sea area he first met Qin Feng.

A flock of Devil Sharks had emerged there before. More importantly, that sea area was seldom explored. The area was probably at the perimeter of the Glutton’s colony. Qin Feng had never expected to see the Glutton there.

Thinking back, the Glutton Leviathan must have been startled by the vicious battle between Qin Feng and Chen Sha’s crews. It made sense now why the Glutton had emerged suddenly and engulfed all of them.

This time, Qin Feng feared no one boarding on a mammoth bio-machine.

The giant Glutton swung its tail dexterously. The synthetic flesh made the beast look more like a living creature than a machine.

Even its aura closely resembled it when it was alive.

Of course, its inner space was inserted with numerous high-tech instruments. On the giant screen, the situations of the neighboring sea area were clearly on display.

Beep!

Beep!

Beep!

Numerous beasts were detected on the radar. There were also several vessels about ten kilometers from them.

But none of them seemed to have noticed the Glutton.

“Eh!? President, isn’t that the Deep-sea Feng Li?” Guo Guan suddenly said.

Since this was the Glutton’s first voyage, Guo Guan had joined in too. Since the Glutton was extremely powerful, Guo Guan’s safety was secured.

“What?” Qin Feng immediately scanned the vessel pointed out by Guo Guan and enlarged the display.

The slick-looking vessel was silver in color and was equipped with high-end instruments. It was indeed the Deep-sea Feng Li that Qin Feng had bought and modified.

Qin Feng frowned and asked, “What happened to the vessel when I was gone?”

“We left the scene immediately and didn’t deal with the vessel. I believe Assistant He would know what happened to it.”

“Call He Jia over!”

Though He Jia knew Qin Feng was not someone she could connect to easily, she decided to board the ship wishing that she could be in touch with Qin Feng more.

He Jia was in the room soon after and was stunned when she saw the Deep-sea Feng Li on the monitor.

“The Deep-sea Feng Li? Why is it here?”

“That should be my line. By regulation, if our president had really fallen into the sea, the Deep-sea Feng Li should be listed under the East Sea and released for rental. But since our president has returned, why isn’t there any explanation after so long?” Guo Guan questioned.

Qin Feng had returned unharmed so his property should be handed back to him. Even if it was rented out, Qin Feng should at least claim his fair share.

“But... But... The vessel was gone when you guys left. We thought you guys were the ones that have taken it back.”

Guo Guan clearly disagreed. Though the Deep-sea Feng Li was not very large, it was not something that could easily be towed away by aircraft or spatial tunnel without being noticed.

There was certainly something fishy going on.

“Great. Since none of you know what happened, then there must be a third hand involved in this.” Qin Feng said coldly and glared at the Deep-sea Feng Li. “I would like to see who dares to take advantage of me.”

Apparently, someone must have stolen the vessel away when neither Guo Guan and He Jia was paying attention. That person even surfaced brazenly and hunted in this open sea using a stolen vessel.

Of course, they had removed the Feng Li inscription on the vessel. But Qin Feng and his men would not mistake the only silver vessel in this region.

“Capture them once they surface.”

“Roger that, President.”

The crew on the Deep-sea Feng Li did not know a calamity was about to befall them. They were still happily bombing a B3-tier sea beast. The beast was swiftly killed and they immediately hooked the body, then they dragged it up to the sea surface.

“Haha! Another one!”

“Brilliant!”

“This is such a great vessel!”

Everyone on board was jubilant. A B-tier sea beast would earn them three hundred million.

Though it might not be a lot, they could kill one every ten minutes. In one day, they could earn at least three billion. That would stack up to 1 trillion in one month.

The wealth that a B-tier normally gained in one year, they could achieve within a month. No wonder the crew was highly enthused.

Afterward, when the Deep-sea Feng Li finally surfaced, a B-tier aptitude user walked out from the hatchway.
