"The most extre case is if we encounter pirates!"
Luu Yuan, holding a small blackboard, promptly listed a series of risks in front of everyone, seemingly becoming the data analyst on the ship.
In fact, this guy, Luu Yuan, was also a data-operating professional on Blue Star.
At this mont, he was holding a piece of chalk, continuously writing on the blackboard.
"Based on the information gathered from the forum, we know."
"A typical low-level pirate ship is usually manned by 20 people... we have only 7, so we need to recruit more."
"Their ship probably has 2-3 cannons; we have only one... not enough."
"However, our advantage is our turtle shell! Du Ran and the captain both possess tank-type extraordinary abilities, and additionally, the ship has undergone a ’thick armor’ modification, making attacks and collisions below energy level 20 ineffective against it. This is where the pirates are inferior to us."
"As for the transcendent configuration... the pirates usually have 3-5 people, we have 3... but Wang Yun and I can carry blood grenades, dive under their ship, and ambush them."
Wang Yun, another crew mber with Ocean Affinity Talent, was, like Luu Yuan, much stronger than others in swimming and concealing themselves underwater.
"Overall consideration, our defense is adequate, but our output is lacking, and handguns are essentially useless at this level of conflict. I suggest everyone switch to long-range rifles, or even enchanted pistols."
Luu Yuan finished in one breath, took a swig from a water jar, exuding an aura of a class teacher leaving gracefully after delivering a comprehensive lesson.
"This setup feels like it’s really going to be tough against pirates..."
Several people exchanged glances and then looked eagerly at Fang Yu.
"Okay, okay, I get it."
Fang Yu waved his hand and imdiately allocated thirteen thousand Copper Coins to Ma.
"Ma, go recruit 5 crew mbers to ensure the basic setup; use the rest to buy 10 long-range rifles."
Long-range rifles cost one thousand Copper Coins each, plus the cost of ammunition and recruiting the crew, about thirteen thousand should suffice.
Ma took the thirteen thousand Copper Coins, feeling their weight, and couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.
Our captain sure is rich.
But...
"Captain, our crew’s basic firearms are adequately equipped, but with just one cannon, our offensive capability still lacks a bit of flavor..."
Several crew mbers murmured, feeling sowhat anxious about leaving the Safe Sea Region.
With the current setup, encountering pirates seems like a 60-40 scenario, with pirates having the edge.
The ship’s offensive capability is truly lacking, with only one cannon.
Regarding the blood grenades, the attack range is too close. If the opposing ship has water-type transcendent, it’s hard to stealthily swim to the bottom of their ship for an ambush.
Hearing the crew’s concerns, Fang Yu nodded but did not show much worry.
A mysterious smile appeared on his face as he casually said, "Don’t worry about that; once we leave the Safe Sea Region, there will be an additional offensive force on the ship. Don’t panic."
Everyone was taken aback and wanted to ask more, but Fang Yu rely glanced at them lazily and then began organizing a new round of material preparations.
Alright then...
If you don’t want to say, then don’t.
Everyone felt exhausted.
The captain is just that kind of person.
Always mysterious and hard to figure out, but the final results invariably surprise everyone.
...
With a wave of Fang Yu’s hand, everyone began another round of preparations for the sea voyage.
Du Ran, along with a few others, started transporting goods from Qiyun Port, also needing to deliver a batch of supplies to Sea Ore Island. With two Cabin Expansion Scrolls, the ship’s cargo capacity had been increased from the original 1380 tons to 2530 tons.
Even with the help of chanical arms, the work was not easy.
Luckily, Du Ran had now awakened his Titan Bloodline, his muscles imnsely strong, able to lift a 500-kilogram package single-handedly, astonishing the warehouse manager.
Luu Yuan was acting separately. Compared to others, Luu Yuan was more ticulous.
Therefore, Fang Yu assigned Luu Yuan to purchase so food and supplies for the voyage, as well as firearms.
As for Ma, he went to recruit new crew mbers.
Fang Yu gave Ma plenty of freedom in choosing talents to recruit.
He only needed to ensure an even distribution according to Fang Yu’s original plan for the four teams.
After all, as the ship continued to grow, the number of crew had gradually exceeded ten.
If Fang Yu were to oversee every detail personally, his own energy would not suffice.
Ma’s talent was in ship managent, which he was naturally suited for, and with the enhancent of his extraordinary ability, his brain domain’s computational speed had increased significantly, making him exceptionally skilled in managing the crew.
Entrusting this to him was the right choice.
And after a round in the talent market, Ma spent 1000 Copper Coins to hire five Level 1 novice crew mbers.
"So cheap..."
Ma muttered softly.
One thousand Copper Coins was a huge sum when everyone first set sail.
But now... even any random crew mber on the ship could pull out an equivalent amount of money.
Before being recruited, Ma couldn’t have imagined that in less than a month, he would have earned more than a thousand Copper Coins in addition to his basic salary.
Indeed... aboard Captain Fang Yu’s ship... the basic salary is truly the least significant inco after joining...
...
"Whoa! New recruits?"
Luo Kuan stood at the bow, operating the chanical arm, watching five Level 1 crew excitedly following Ma aboard the ship, couldn’t help joking.
Ma glanced at Luo Kuan.
New recruits?
You’ve only been on the ship for a little over a week yourself, right?
Why are you pretending to be a seasoned sailor?
But in the eyes of the five new recruits, Luo Kuan indeed seed like a "big shot crew mber."
With the enhancent of Lord Points, Luo Kuan, naturally exuded a solid aura.
Each level gained by an elite crew mber improved more than that of a regular crew mber. Although Luo Kuan was only Level 4, he exuded a vibe that soone at Level 6 or 7 would.
The occasional glint in his eyes was enough to astonish the five new recruits, making them feel a sense of admiration for the big shot.
"Take our knee, big shot!"
Watching the new recruits’ pathetic deanor, Ma snorted coldly, glaring at Luo Kuan.
Let’s see you keep up the act when the captain cos out?
"Mr. He, where are we transporting this load of goods?"
At this mont, a new recruit looked toward the cargo hold, astonished by its capacity, then asked expectantly.
Ma, whose full na is Ma He, was called Ma by Fang Yu and the others, but the new recruits didn’t dare to call him that.
Despite Ma’s cheerful appearance in front of Fang Yu and others with little presence.
But in the eyes of the new recruits, just his standing there made him seem like a...
High-Level Extraordinary Elite Crew mber!
An utterly terrifying... giant!
