Long Xue's report stunned Nine Dragons Emperor.
"That's impossible!" Nine Dragons Emperor refuted. "I know Feng Qianyu's standards very well. He'd be lucky to reach the central area. How could he possibly obtain the Sunset Forest's First Clear?"
They were both members of the same Guild, so they knew each other very well. Even if Feng Qianyu had hidden some trump cards, he was still far from being able to defeat the Sunset Forest's Final Boss, the King of Trees. Nine Dragons Emperor only had the confidence to challenge the Boss because he had obtained an Advanced Magic Array and Bloody Paradise's help.
However, based on the information he had gathered, Feng Qianyu did not possess an Advanced Magic Array.
"Long Xue had her suspicions as well, so she verified the information several times. She even obtained a video of the battle. She is absolutely certain, "Long Xue explained." Moreover, Feng Qianyu was only able to clear the Sunset Forest thanks to a tool called the Flame Potion. It greatly reduced the Boss's Attributes. In addition, Asura Adventurers had a powerful MT tanking the weakened Boss. In the end, the Ling YI Society's members had to use a Tier 4 Magic Scroll to defeat the Boss. "
"What a lucky bastard. He actually found a way to weaken the Boss." Nine Dragons Emperor's eyelids twitched as he watched the battle video. A hint of jealousy flashed in his eyes. He then sneered and said, "Just you wait. You've only obtained the Sunset Forest's First Clear. I'll show you that this is nothing more than a last-ditch effort. Notify Long Xue and tell her that the plan can begin. Also, tell that old bastard Beast Emperor that I'm running out of patience. I don't want to see the Ling YI Society prancing around under my nose anymore."
"Understood!" Long Xue shuddered when he heard Nine Dragons Emperor's cold and resolute tone.
Elsewhere, the Shifeng had arrived at Ocean Viewing Town through a teleportation array.
Compared to the first time Nine Dragons Emperor had visited Ocean Viewing Town, the town's player population had increased significantly. Many players could be seen forming parties to grind on the island.
Aside from the sudden increase in player numbers, some merchant players had also begun to transport goods by sea.
"Transporting goods from Ocean Viewing Town to Sand Bay Town is now on a special price! Only 15 Silver Coins per person! You won't be charged for items with less than 1,000 slots in your bag space, and you'll be charged an additional 5 Silver Coins for every 1,000 slots in your bag space. Each non-bag space item costs 3 Silver Coins!"
"Transporting from Ocean Viewing Town to Coral Harbor will only cost 20 Silver Coins per person. There will be no charge for items with less than 1,000 slots in your bag space. For every 1,000 slots in your bag space, an additional 7 Silver Coins will be charged. Each non-bag space item will cost 5 Silver Coins!"
…
Many independent merchant players and adventurer team members surrounded these Merchant Groups, hoping to haggle with the Merchant Groups for a better price.
To put it bluntly, Zero Wing's decision to use sea transportation was to save on the expensive teleportation fees. It was especially true for international teleportation. Even if two countries were neighboring countries, the teleportation fees would still be calculated in Gold Coins. It was normal for countries that were far from each other to cost two or three Gold Coins. However, if they used sea transportation, it would be much cheaper. This was especially true for non-bag space items, which were a headache for players.
Although Ocean Viewing Town's sea transportation wasn't on a large scale yet, it was beginning to take shape.
"These people sure are fast." When Shifeng glanced at the merchant teams on the street, he discovered that there were more than five such merchant teams. Smiling faintly, he said, "It seems that I'll have to start producing the new type of cargo ship soon."
In the past, the sea transportation industry had been very developed. At the same time, the industry's profits had been considerably frightening. Hence, the various large Guilds had established their own merchant teams to compete for territory at sea.
Shifeng felt that he was already moving fast enough. However, there were countless capable people in God's Domain. Many of them had discovered this business opportunity early on.
Currently, these Caravans were renting Common Cargo Ships provided by NPCs. These ships could only accommodate 35 people at most. They also couldn't carry a lot of items. Only 30 non-bag space items could be carried.
Hence, these merchant teams had to pay an exorbitant rental fee. They also needed a sufficient number of Guard Ships to protect them. Otherwise, sea monsters would annihilate the cargo ships before they even reached their destination. After all, cargo ships didn't have any Attack Power, unlike ordinary speedboats.
Hence, their profits were limited.
Previously, Shi Feng had spent 30,000 Gold to purchase a special Medium Shipyard. As long as he had sufficient materials and engineers, he could start producing the new type of cargo ship. Not only would the ship's speed increase by 15%, but it could also carry 40 players instead of 35. It was much better than ordinary cargo ships.
Now that he had sufficient materials and engineers, he could start producing the new type of cargo ship.
Once he sold the ship, he could make a lot of money whether he rented it or used it himself.
Following which, Shifeng contacted A Melancholy Smile and had A Melancholy Smile dispatch a large number of engineers. Previously, Candlelight's engineers had been lacking in quantity and quality, but now, Candlelight had become the holy land for Lifestyle players in the Starmoon Kingdom. In addition, Candlelight was constantly recruiting Lifestyle players. Hence, it had a large number of engineers. Even a small portion of these engineers would be enough to support the operations of a Large Shipyard, not to mention a Medium Shipyard.
"Guild Leader, are you sure you want to use such precious materials to produce the Flying Eagle Speedboat and the new type of cargo ship?" Burning Abyss was astonished when he saw the Ancient Origin Wood Shifeng had taken out.
As a Master Engineer, he had done some research on the various materials available in God's Domain, especially the various materials needed for engineering.
Among them, Ancient Origin Wood was a top-tier material for producing ships. Even producing a Bronze Speedboat would be a waste, much less an advanced speedboat, not to mention the new type of cargo ship that wasn't even advanced.
"Let's use this Ancient Origin Wood for now. I don't have any more advanced designs on hand."
Shifeng knew that it was a pity.
Ancient Origin Wood was a rare material that could only be produced in the Sunset Forest. Not only would using Ancient Origin Wood increase the production success rate, but it also had a chance to enhance the ship's quality with Ancient Power. Using Ancient Origin Wood on a ship that wasn't even Bronze rank was no longer a luxury. It was practically a waste.
However, Shi Feng couldn't care less.
Ship designs were incomparably rare. He was already very lucky to have obtained the advanced speedboat design and the new type of cargo ship.
Following which, Shifeng handed the Basic Mana Bomb Design to Burning Abyss to produce.
Advanced Engineers were more than enough to produce the advanced speedboat and the new type of cargo ship. There was no need for a Master Engineer like Burning Abyss to do it himself. The Basic Mana Bomb, on the other hand, was different. Although it was only a Basic Mana Bomb, it was still an Advanced Design. If an ordinary Advanced Engineer were to produce it, they'd be fortunate to have a 30% success rate. However, if Burning Abyss were to produce it, he'd have a 50% success rate.
"What exquisite craftsmanship! I never knew magic arrays could be used like this! " Burning Abyss accepted the Basic Mana Bomb Design from Shifeng. After looking at it for a moment, he was immediately captivated.
"I'll leave the Shipyard's work to you. As for this design, I'll leave it to you. Try to produce it as much as you can when you have the time. I'll have great use for it in the future," Shifeng said, chuckling as he shook his head when he saw Burning Abyss's mesmerized expression.
"Guild Leader?" Burning Abyss was momentarily stunned when he heard Shi Feng's words. Following which, he grew ecstatic and excited.
Previously, he had only been Candlelight's Chief Engineer, the equivalent of a core member of the Ling Yi Society. However, managing a Shipyard was a different story. It was the equivalent of stepping into the Ling YI Society's management. This was the dream and pursuit of many Lifestyle players.
Following which, Shifeng handed a portion of the Shipyard's authority to Burning Abyss. Afterward, he hired the NPC Master Engineer, Rodney, to assist him. Not only could Rodney increase the production success rate, but he could also increase the production speed.
