"Captain... aren’t you following any guides..."
The three followed behind Fang Yu, Ma sneaking a careful glance at him before speaking quietly.
"I did, what about it?"
Fang Yu glanced at the three, feeling that their looks were a bit strange, like they were seeing...
Hmm... an unreliable boss.
"Ahem, Captain, you might be mistaken. Our ship’s cargo capacity is only 805 tons, but the minimum requirent for special cargo is 1000 tons."
"Only captains above level 5 can receive special cargo during the novice period, and we’re below the requirent for special cargo."
Ma spoke frankly to Fang Yu.
In Qiyun Port’s docks, there are three ways to receive cargo.
The first is bulk cargo, which doesn’t have a high requirent for the ship’s capacity, but the rewards and experience are not high either.
It’s suitable for initial ships.
The second level is the higher-tier special cargo, exclusively dealing with traders’ goods, offering higher rewards, but requires a ship with adequate capacity.
Only those with a capacity over 1000 tons can take on special cargo.
As for the third level, called the partnership order, it offers the highest rewards. Right now, Fang Yu doesn’t even dare to imagine it.
Looking at the puzzled eyes of the three, Fang Yu smiled slightly, pretending to be mysterious: "You’ll know when we get there!"
The group soon arrived at the special cargo receiving point, where they were t by a short, plump middle-aged man with a red nose, a typical local appearance.
Nad Wang Dong.
He glanced at Fang Yu, who approached him, frowning slightly: "I’m open to more captains coming to take cargo, but the special cargo here has thresholds. Does your cargo ship et the standard, young man?"
"No problem, Mr. Wang Dong."
Fang Yu replied with a confident smile.
"Really?" Wang Dong was skeptical, then took out a dial, placed it in front of Fang Yu, and said: "Hold the sides of the dial. This dial has so extraordinary properties and can check your ship’s cargo capacity."
"Sure!"
Fang Yu reached out, curiously grabbing the sides of the dial, feeling a strange force extending from it into his body.
The next mont, the dial’s needle started to move, gradually stopping at a number.
tons!
"Huh?"
The three behind him widened their eyes in surprise at the dial.
What was going on?
As the ship’s manager, Ma knew that the ship’s initial capacity was only 700 tons.
Even with the addition of his innate talent, it was only 805 tons.
How did the ship’s capacity suddenly increase to 1380 tons?
tons was the capacity so level 7 or 8 captains had, and Fang Yu was only level 1. How did he achieve this?
"It’s modification!"
At this mont, Luu Yuan’s eyes sparkled with realization, speaking with so joy.
"Yes, modification! Smart!"
Fang Yu chuckled lightly and turned to nod at Luu Yuan.
He had just gone to the ship modification store and bought a Cabin Expansion Scroll.
It cost him 1000 Copper Coins.
After activation, it could increase the ship’s cargo capacity by 500 tons.
With the addition of Ma’s innate talent, the total reached a capacity of 1380 tons.
eting the standard for special cargo.
It even exceeded it by 380 tons.
Seeing their captain silently upgrade the ship, raising everyone’s cargo capabilities, the three were surprised and delighted.
Special cargo offers higher rewards and experience compared to the sa level of bulk cargo.
Not to ntion that Fang Yu’s ship’s capacity was nearly double that of a standard initial cargo ship.
This ant their single trip could earn as much as 3-4 trips for other ships.
This couldn’t fail to make the three feel happy.
Following the right captain, the crew’s growth speed and future potential far exceeded that of their peers!
The three’s hearts raced, and they no longer doubted Fang Yu.
If loyalty values were a thing, Fang Yu reckoned the three’s values would be skyrocketing...
"You’re quite impressive, young man!"
Even the red-nosed rchant Wang Dong was a bit surprised: "I know that every month new Outer Realm Captains like you arrive here."
"So of these young ones indeed possess special abilities that leave a lasting impression."
Saying this, Wang Dong handed a business card to Fang Yu: "Young man, this is my card. I believe we’ll be working together for a long ti. Contact after you deliver this batch of goods."
"Thank you, Mr. Wang Dong."
Fang Yu quickly took the card from Wang Dong, understanding this was a gesture of goodwill.
...
Anyway, Fang Yu, along with the three, did manage to receive special cargo.
"Let’s go! Ti to load the cargo!"
Du Ran, the muscle-bound man with a strength talent awakening, shouted and eagerly began loading the incredibly heavy cargo onto carts, transporting them back to the ship.
The initial strength talent offered little improvent to the ship.
However, they were indispensable for loading cargo.
"Hup!"
Du Ran, with a slight shout, lifted two pieces of cargo weighing several hundred pounds rged together onto a cart without showing any fatigue.
The crew’s talents were fair.
Ocean affinity and ship managent provided significant boosts to the ship.
However, strength talent didn’t have these effects; instead, it translated the ship’s boost into brute force on the person itself.
Du Ran had formidable recovery and imnse strength, easily loading box after box of cargo onto the ship.
His efficiency matched that of four people.
anwhile, Ma and Luu Yuan exchanged a glance and were not idle either, helping with lighter cargo onto the cart.
Now, everyone was part of the sa crew, comrades with no thoughts of watching others work while doing nothing themselves.
As for Fang Yu, he was handling necessary procedures and registred the cargo ship at Qiyun Port.
"The delivery destination this ti is Ningtong Port, approximately 900 nautical miles from Qiyun Port. You’ve loaded 1380 tons of cargo. The special cargo calculation is within 1000 nautical miles, with each ton yielding 3 Copper Coins. Is this okay?"
Wang Dong asked Fang Yu.
"No problem!"
Fang Yu replied with a satisfied smile.
With bulk cargo, one ton would only earn a asly 1.5 Copper Coins.
But with special cargo, one ton earned 3 Copper Coins.
The special cargo reward was double that of bulk cargo!
One round trip, considering the ship’s current speed and rest stopovers, would take about a week.
The ship could earn approximately 4200 Copper Coins.
At that point, Fang Yu planned to allocate about 400 as sailing bonuses, and the remaining over 3000 Copper Coins he could consider for new ship modifications.
