The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

After hearing what Raymond said, Ji Chen's confidence in him greatly increased.

He immediately said cheerfully: "Then I will hand over the management and sale of these three specialties of the territory to you. For every piece sold, you will get 5% of the selling price as a reward!"

Hearing this, Raymond looked overjoyed and trembled in his heart.

At first, he thought he could only work in vain. After gradually gaining Ji Chen's trust, he looked for an opportunity to take revenge on the Hanseatic Chamber of Commerce.

Although I was mentally prepared, the thought of not getting paid to do my own voice made me feel unmotivated.

He is a businessman! What’s a businessman if he doesn’t make money? ?

Obtaining money through transactions has become his instinct.

When I heard Ji Chen say that not only would he be given money, but he would also be given a commission of up to 5%.

In an instant, the fat man was filled with motivation.

He didn't expect the lord to be so generous.

These three specialties will definitely sell well, and he is very confident about this.

What's more, he doesn't have to worry about the hassle of finding sources of goods, purchasing goods, hiring guards and merchant ships, he only needs to transport the goods out, and then sell them at the highest price possible.

It can be said that this is simply giving him money!

Ji Chen looked at the excited Raymond and joked mischievously: "You don't want to? Then I can only find someone else to come."

"No, no, no, I am very willing. Please give me this opportunity, Lord! I swear I will make the most money for you!"

When Raymond heard this, he suddenly became anxious, and the layers of fat on his face trembled.

Anyone who doesn’t want such a good thing is a huge fool!

If he gave up this opportunity, he would regret it for the rest of his life!

Ji Chen burst out laughing, "Okay, just kidding."

"In addition to selling these three specialties, I will also return the White Sand Princess to you and equip it with another two-masted merchant ship and two three-masted warships to form an ocean-going fleet,"

Moreover, I will assign an army to follow the ship to ensure the safety of you and the cargo. You will not be hunted down again and run away in embarrassment, right? "

Raymond immediately scratched his head in embarrassment, knowing that Ji Chen was teasing him about how he was chased by the Black Skeleton pirates and fled to the Crescent Islands in a panic.

He also felt a little emotional.

If he had not entered the stormy waters and docked at the Crescent Islands, he might have been killed by pirates long ago and would not have met Ji Chen.

In this way, there would be no subsequent kidnapping of Gassani and the current allegiance.

Everything was like a coincidence, leading him to a different life.

"Of course not. Just please be at ease, sir."

Ji Chen nodded without saying much, "You can set off in two days. Go early and come back early. Various resources in the territory are in short supply."

"yes!"

Ji Chen looked thoughtful in his eyes as he watched Raymond's plump figure walking out of the Lord's Mansion.

Raymond is different from others. The reason why he chooses to be loyal to him is more because he has nowhere to go and has nothing left, plus he wants revenge, so he chooses to work under him.

As a businessman, he naturally puts interests first. Absolute loyalty is not necessarily much, and the lord system does not show loyalty. Everything depends on the judgment of the lord.

But there is something you can do with confidence.

If you want the horse to run, you have to feed it. If you want Raymond to do things for him better, then you have to promise benefits so that you can better tie him to your chariot.

But he is not really that big-hearted, and he is completely relieved to let Raymond act alone.

The army assigned to protect him on the surface was actually an insurance policy. Once Raymond played tricks, did something dishonest, or even rebelled, he would immediately change from a guard to an executioner.

After dealing with Raymond's matter, Ji Chen took some troops and started heading towards the forest complex.

Today he was going to open the treasure chest under the patio so that he wouldn't have to think about it all the time.

Since the chimpanzees in the complex were cleared last time, many wandering monsters have taken over the place again.

After the army fought hard, all these monsters were cleared away.

They came to the patio.

Looking at the slightly turbid well water, Ji Chen jumped in without hesitation.

The moment it comes into contact with water, an invisible film suddenly appears on the surface of the body, isolating the water.

It was as if there were propellers on the soles of his feet, and he rushed to the bottom of the well in a whoosh.

Compared with last time, this time he was more leisurely and not worried about oxygen and vision problems at all.

After searching for a while, I found my target.

The four-star treasure chest was the same as the one I had seen before, still lying quietly in the corner.

But it was different from last time. He came prepared this time.

I have the key in my hand, but I still can’t open this treasure chest?

He took out the treasure box key, inserted it into the lock of the treasure box and twisted it hard, and the lid opened with a click.

Some kind of regular force is at work, keeping the water out of the box, and there are two things inside.

One is the core of a military recruitment camp, and the other is

The core of the recruitment camp again? Ji Chen muttered.

Now he is not very short of troops. After all, the fishmen have just advanced to the fourth level and three-star dragon-blooded fishmen, and they are definitely powerful enough to fight.

In addition to the near and long-range output of the dragon-blood murloc, there are Naga warriors for human shields and thrusts, pure water sea elves for the magic system, deep-sea rangers for transportation, tidal sea spirits for possession, and a lot of pirates, Murlocs, wanderers, and kobolds.

After a full fight, there will be as many as eight arms.

If it wasn't something that could complete the lineup, or a high-level unit, he had no intention of spending resources on recruiting.

There is a small squid frozen in the core of the recruitment camp, with a spindle-shaped head and long sucking tentacles.

It looks more like food.

Ji Chen secretly complained, and then checked his unit panel.

【Giant Squid】

【Race】: Squid

[Level]: Level 4, 8 stars

[Skill]: Entanglement (Purple skill, powerful tentacles can roll up and grab heavy objects and enemies)

Fang Suction Cup (Purple skill, the suction cup with fangs can fix and bite the enemy)

Inkjet (purple skill, capable of spraying poisonous ink, which can block vision and poison enemies)

Swiftness (purple skill, speed increased by 200% when swimming in the ocean)

[Unit Characteristics]: Binding (due to the influence of living habits, priority is given to using entanglement to kill enemies during combat)

[This is the ancestor of bondage play! 】

Okay, Ji Chen admitted that his voice was a little loud just now.

The four purple skills at the fourth level and 8-star level were so luxurious that they almost blinded him.

What are high-level arms? This is called a high-level military unit!

Judging from the rank and name, it is estimated that this giant squid is not as small as the core of the recruitment camp, and it is estimated that the size is not small.

It might be like the giant squid that existed in Blue Star, with a huge body that could easily reach 20 meters in length.

There is no doubt that the giant squid is a purely marine unit and can only move in the sea.

This also seems to mean that as the last place on the Crescent Islands - the mountain peak - is discovered, the focus of the battle will be shifted to the ocean.

Try to think of it, as the fleet of Ocean Crown sails across the sea.

In addition to the troops on the ship, there are also giant squids following below the sea surface, extending their terrifying tentacles at any time to pull the enemy into the sea.

Ji Chen looked at the resources needed for recruitment again.

【Giant Squid】

[Level]: Level 4, 8 stars

[Recruitment type]: Giant squid (Level 4, 8 stars)

[Number of recruits available per week]: 5

[Current number of recruits]: 5

[Recruitment cost]: 700 units of crystals

It is said that the higher the level of the army, the less basic resources such as wood and fiber are needed for recruitment.

Tidal sea spirits, deep sea patrollers, and now giant squid all require crystals to recruit.

Ji Chen opened the territory panel to see how many crystals were left.

It cost a lot of crystals to repair the lighthouse, summon heroes, and recruit troops. Now there are about 35,000 units of crystals left, which is quite sufficient. It is easy to recruit these five giant squids.

Putting away the core of the recruitment camp, he looked at another thing in the treasure box.

A shiny golden badge.

【Hero Emblem】

[Level]: Special

[Effect]: Can evolve an ordinary citizen into a hero. The level and potential of the transformed hero are determined based on the evolver's own qualifications and the amount of resources invested.

Hiss ~ good stuff!

Holding the hero badge in his hand, Ji Chen thought about which person in the territory was qualified to be transformed into a hero.

Raymond?

No, he had just joined Ocean Crown, he had not yet made any achievements and his loyalty was still uncertain.

And as a businessman, he seems to have no need to transform into a hero.

Business hero? Is it possible to bargain for a lower price?

Low cost performance to use

There are also many citizens in the Crown of the Ocean who have life skills, such as blacksmiths, tailors, weaving, shipbuilding and so on.

If the hero emblem is used on them, a hero with powerful life skills may be born, which will play a rapid role in the development of a certain aspect of the territory.

For example, a blacksmith might be able to repair the dragon-slaying sword after becoming a hero.

For example, a shipwright may be able to take charge of shipbuilding after the shipyard is built, and may even be able to develop more powerful ships.

But this doesn't quite fit in with Ji Chen's ideas. Instead of partial development, it would be better to develop in an all-round way.

So the choice was clear - Velus was the best choice!

This middle-aged man is one of the earliest old people in Ocean Crown, and it is not an exaggeration to say that we have traveled the same road with him.

He has been working hard and has never made any mistakes. It can be said that he is full of credit.

And as a political officer who manages internal affairs, he also needs to grow up so that he can better manage an increasingly larger territory in the future.

Therefore, it is very reasonable to give him this hero coat of arms.

After checking the two things, Ji Chen returned to the ground and led the army back to the territory.

Called Velus who was busy coordinating resources to build buildings.

"Sir, what do you want from me? The artillery manufacturing plant and large water fort are still under intense construction preparations."

Ji Chen looked at the middle-aged man who was sweating profusely and focused on the construction of his territory. He smiled happily and said, "Sit down and drink a glass of water and take a rest. I have something to tell you."

Hearing this, the busy Velus hesitated and sat down, but did not dare to pick up the water glass to drink.

After repeated persuasion by Rang, I took a careful sip. After putting down the water glass, I couldn't help but asked in confusion: "Sir, what exactly happened? Did I do something wrong?"

"You didn't do anything wrong. You've always done well." Ji Chen shook his head, took out the hero coat of arms and placed it on the table.

"Now I have a chance to make you a hero. I wonder if you are willing."

Hearing this, Velus looked at the coat of arms exuding strange abilities on the table, and felt excited for a moment. His eyes were full of disbelief and he asked, "Can I become a hero?"

As the internal affairs officer of Ocean Crown, he naturally knows what the word hero means.

Powerful is its synonym.

This power can be combat power or various abilities.

Either way can instantly make him one of the few people at the top of the pyramid in this world.

But at this moment, Velus hesitated, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

Ji Chen frowned immediately. Is there anyone who doesn't want to be a hero?

"Why don't you want to?"

Velus stood up and saluted seriously: "This heroic emblem should be used by other people who are more valuable to the territory. Only in this way can the Ocean Crown become stronger as soon as possible.

I am just an internal affairs officer, and my current ability is enough to manage the territory. It would be a waste for me to use it. "

Others may not know that Velus, who is over fifty years old, has been watching Ocean Crown grow from a child to what it is today, and has sincerely regarded Ocean Crown as his home.

For countless days and nights, I have been thinking about how to develop the territory.

Between becoming the person at the top of the pyramid and making the Crown of the Ocean more powerful, he resolutely chose the latter.

After listening to Velus's explanation, Ji Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He really did not misjudge the person.

In this way, he became more certain about giving the hero's emblem to Velus. In this way, people who work hard can't get the hero's emblem. Who is qualified to get it?

"My lord, you'd better give this hero emblem to someone else, for example."

Ji Chen interrupted him with a slightly serious expression, "If I gave it to someone else, it would be unfair to you.

What's more, it's not a waste to use it for you. As the internal affairs officer of Ocean Crown, you are an indispensable part. Your current ability and energy are enough to manage.

But what should we do when the territory becomes more and more powerful and affairs become more and more busy and difficult? Is it possible that you are willing to give up your position as interior officer? "

"But..." Velus wanted to say something else.

"Stop it, this is my order." Ji Chen's expression condensed and he said slightly sternly.

"Yes." Velus could only nod in agreement.

Seeing this, Ji Chen's expression softened slightly, he picked up the hero's coat of arms on the table, and selected the person in front of him to use it on Velus.

An evolution is about to begin.
