Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 551 - 287: Spending Money Like Water, Resource Shortages_2
Fang Yu gritted his teeth.
"Which way?"
Luu Yuan, standing beside him, was taken aback and curiously asked.
Hearing Luu Yuan’s question, Fang Yu grinned, revealing a mouthful of cold, white teeth:
"Rob the rich to help the poor. Once the current situation is over, it’s time to rob a consortium!"
Luu Yuan: ...
...
The level of power was increasing, and so was the income.
But Fang Yu felt that life was getting more and more strapped.
Every time they defeated an Extraordinary Ship or a strong opponent, the crew could actually earn quite a bit of Divine Essence as rewards. For example, when they defeated Jiang Lin’s ship earlier, each crew member received 100 grams of Divine Essence.
The whole ship had so many crew members, and frankly speaking, the amount of Divine Essence they gained was considerable.
However, Fang Yu would not ask the crew for this part of the resources.
Because not only the captain and the ship needed to undergo Extraordinary Transformation, but the crew members also needed to use these resources to undergo the transformation once they reached Level 40.
But compared to the captain, the crew could only choose one path for enhancement.
Like Luu Yuan and Luo Kuan, they had decided early on to take the Extraordinary route.
While Du Ran decided to take the path of Sanctification of the Flesh.
Ma chose the most challenging route of mental and spiritual awareness, which is the path of Soul Transformation.
These various paths require different amounts of resources and have varying levels of difficulty, but fortunately, the resources needed by the crew are not as extravagant as those required by the captain and the ship. They only need to take care of themselves, and the resources consumed probably aren’t even a tenth, or even a fraction, of the captain’s needs.
Of course, resources correspond to strength, and a captain who consumes more resources is bound to be stronger than the crew, regardless of the path.
So over the past period, in addition to buying training devices for the crew, Fang Yu also had Ma establish a trading mechanism within the ship.
For example, Du Ran only needed Essence of Flesh and Blood and had no use for Divine Essence, so he could exchange one portion of Divine Essence for three or four portions of Essence of Flesh and Blood.
Comparatively, crew members like Du Ran, who are of the melee type choosing the path of Sanctification of the Flesh, are the cheapest and most cost-effective.
In the later stages of a ship, melee-path crew members generally rise to prominence again, reclaiming important roles, and their upgrading and enhancement speed far surpass that of other crew members.
In contrast, the path Ma chose is quite challenging and difficult.
But once established, Ma would significantly enhance the ship.
An Extraordinary Ship, if only the ship and the captain undergo fundamental change, is obviously meaningless.
Captain, ship, crew.
These are the three unchanging cores of the Sea Ship System, indispensable.
It’s been that way from the lower levels, and it’s the same at the level of an Extraordinary Ship!
Only when the crew correspondingly undergoes fundamental change and enhancement, can the overall combat power of the ship gradually take shape.
Therefore, Fang Yu not only doesn’t ask for the resources obtained by the crew on the ship, but he also wants to create an environment where everyone can trade and advance more easily.
Meanwhile, besides dealing with Kong Huaao’s affairs, Fang Yu has been thinking about how to quickly earn a large amount of money.
To acquire resources.
"Forget it, this matter is not urgent for now. The most important thing at the moment is to resolve the conflict between the two countries as soon as possible."
Fang Yu muttered.
...
Just as Fang Yu and Cheng Peng were regrouping on Maga Island and preparing to execute a rescue mission.
In a mysterious and dark hall, several figures were quietly seated around a conference table in the hall, maintaining distance and vigilance, not speaking to anyone.
"Creak!"
At this moment, the hall’s door was pushed open, breaking the silent atmosphere in the hall.
Subsequently, a figure accompanied by the sound of Tides entered from outside the door.
Seeing this person enter, the faces of those in the hall revealed looks of joy, and the heavy and defensive atmosphere in the room instantly dissipated.
"Leader!"
Everyone stood up and addressed the newcomer.
The newcomer was none other than the Tide Man who had released a group of Alchemists from the Sin Domain.
His identity had already been exposed, no longer necessary to hide his face.
He completely showed his appearance—a man with a face scarred hideously.
This scar was an indelible mark left on his face by the Chief Judge of the Ocean Court on the day of his birth.
It almost cost him his life until he was saved by the Peacekeeping Council’s leader.
Now, the Tide Man... no! The Alchemy Leader’s gaze scanned over those in the hall, nodding slightly.
The number of people in the hall was exactly nine.
Just corresponding to the nine major sects of the Alchemy Era.
In fact, the number of sects should be even greater.
But after the Ocean Court’s destruction of the Alchemy Era, many sects either perished or defected.
Currently, only nine major sects remained.
These nine major sects were once noble families and upper-class elites in the Alchemy Era, once standing high above, treating the commoners and lower-class people as nothing more than materials for human experiments, ruthlessly.
But to the Alchemy Leader, that is nothing; in his eyes, the lowly use their worthless lives to contribute to the great cause of alchemical research, fulfilling their purpose.
