"Alright... I’ll try to keep an eye on it for you. When do you plan on installing it?"
"No rush, I’ve got so business to attend to in the next couple of days. I’ll just install it on the mainland of the Lanyun Sea Country when I get back."
"That works."
The two quickly discussed the training device, and in the end, Ming reluctantly sighed and promised to help Fang Yu keep an eye out for second-hand alchemy devices.
Fang Yu was quite satisfied.
Second-hand is fine; after all, as the crew’s level rises to level 50, we’ll need to upgrade to a more powerful training device.
The updates co quickly. Second-hand will do for now; it’s not only cheap but shouldn’t have significant performance issues.
Satisfied, Fang Yu arranged a ti with Ming for installation and returned to his ship.
Afterward, Fang Yu asked Luu Yuan to check the forum for data on the [Training Capsule 3.0].
No matter how much Ming bragged about it, the paraters that the Blue Star Captains considered important were completely different from those of the natives.
The natives cared about how much strength increased and the effectiveness of the training.
But the Blue Star Captains cared about the speed of experience growth and the training effects of extraordinary abilities.
If the experience-to-cost ratio of the [Training Capsule 3.0] wasn’t high, there would be no need for Fang Yu to purchase this set of training equipnt.
Luu Yuan soon researched and returned to report to Fang Yu:
"Captain, Ming’s statents are mostly accurate."
"The cost-effectiveness of the [Training Capsule 3.0] is indeed the highest."
"The average experience growth rate of a capsule room is 2000 points per hour."
"I checked other training rooms at the sa price range, and they can hardly exceed 1500 points per hour."
"There are options with better effects, even reaching 3000 points per hour, but those are ten tis the price of the training capsule."
"The cost-effectiveness of the training capsule is indeed notable," complinted Luu Yuan.
Upon hearing Luu Yuan’s words, Fang Yu slightly nodded. If that’s the case, then purchasing the training capsule could actually be worthwhile.
Soon, Fang Yu curiously called over Luu Yuan and asked, "By the way, did you find out the prices of those resources I asked you to check earlier?"
"I did!"
Luu Yuan nodded, then sent a list directly to Fang Yu’s private chat panel.
"These resources are hard currency among our Blue Star Captains, and as major corporations continue to monopolize the resources, their prices are rising, and their value keeps increasing."
"Hmm?"
Fang Yu looked at Luu Yuan with curiosity and soon heard Luu Yuan speak:
"Divine Essence is the most expensive, currently 100 grams for 3 gold coins. Then there’s Extraordinary Essence, about 100 grams for 2 gold coins, while Essence of Flesh and Blood is the cheapest. It can even be extracted from the flesh of large extraordinary beings, currently 100 grams for 1 gold coin."
"That expensive?"
Fang Yu was surprised.
He rembered when he hijacked the Divine Hall Alliance Army’s Divine Essence, taking as much as nine large jars.
Moreover, he absorbed a lot while in the Divine Hall too.
By quantity, that would definitely have been dozens of kilograms.
Back then, although Fang Yu knew Divine Essence was valuable, he had no concept of its actual worth.
But now... 3 gold coins for 100 grams? Does that an, unknowingly, he might have squandered over a thousand gold coins back then?
"Captain, that’s just the market price. In reality, both Divine Essence and Extraordinary Essence are in a ’no market for the price’ state. If you really want to buy them, Divine Essence might cost 4-5 gold coins, and Extraordinary Essence about 3 gold coins per 100 grams."
Luu Yuan coughed lightly and spoke to Fang Yu.
After hearing Luu Yuan’s words, Fang Yu’s face stiffened.
Damn...
The training equipnt costs at least 1500 gold coins.
At least!
And for him to pursue both the extraordinary and the physical paths, a large amount of those two resources is needed.
Fang Yu calculated that in the first stage, he still needs about 9 kilograms of Essence of Flesh and Blood, totaling 90 gold coins, and to ascend to extraordinary, the second stage is necessary.
Opening the second stage requires resources more than ten tis the first stage.
This ans that the second stage alone, just on the path to sainthood through physical form, would cost nearly a thousand gold coins.
Nearly a thousand gold coins... What does that an? It’s the price of 6 law-level scrolls. If the dice roll was a bit lower, Fang Yu would need to defeat a few more extraordinary ships to achieve it.
As for the extraordinary path, it costs 2-3 tis more than the cheapest physical path. Realistically, it would take about 3000 gold coins to accomplish it.
"Spending money like water... spending money like water..."
Fang Yu muttered, finally understanding why they say that the path above the warship level is sothing ordinary people cannot reach.
For a normal person to reach the extraordinary level, it would take at least 10 years of accumulation, and the descent of Blue Star humans has only happened for about 5 years.
years of accumulation, what does that an?
It ans that the warship level is currently the absolute ceiling for ordinary people.
For an extraordinary ship to appear among ordinary people? That’s sothing at least five years away.
Even a cheat like Fang Yu, who can skip levels in battle, feels the resource pressure, let alone those ordinary captains.
"If this continues, there will only be one path to take."
