Chapter 432: Chapter 241: Combined Skill: Profound Light Sword and Shield_3

"For crew members at Level 30, the recruitment cost is 400 silver coins per month. If you want to recruit a full three hundred people, then it totals 120,000 silver coins."

"Oh, and that’s just for one month’s cost."

"Of course, for tough and dedicated workers like us who started adventuring with the captain from the beginning, we can ask for less, since many of the brothers aren’t just in it for the money."

"But... even if we cut our pay, it’s not by much. We still need 80,000 to 100,000 silver coins a month."

"And as the crew’s level increases, salaries will need to increase too, this amount..."

"Can you bear it, Captain..."

Ma asked soul-searching questions that made Fang Yu’s head buzz.

"Ahem, just reminding the Captain that in two weeks, there’s another 70,000 silver coins needed for the crew’s salaries."

Ma’s voice floated back again, leaving Fang Yu seeing stars and almost fainting.

Damn it...

Fang Yu was truly stunned.

My ship is burning money so quickly now?!

Aren’t we crazy?!

120,000 silver coins a month to maintain a trump card of 4,500 energy levels.

Uh...

Fang Yu thought carefully and realized the power doesn’t really need to be that high.

For a warship level, even if it’s at the warship level, can the shield’s energy level withstand an attack with an enchantment effect at 3,000 energy levels?

The answer is no.

The shields of a warship, purely with energy level defense, definitely exceed 3,000 points.

Even tens of thousands are possible.

But the problem is, the output of the Profound Light Sword is not just basic energy level damage, but also has subsequent enchantment effects, which is the major part.

Under Fang Yu’s abnormal enchantment investment ability, the enchantment levels on Salted Fish are pretty much maxed out.

Fused all together, the resulting effect and final damage can easily hit ten thousand, taking out a warship with one move isn’t impossible.

So if you calculate it like that... damage of 3,000 energy levels should be enough.

"Well, filling the recruitment quota is really too wasteful. We have to adhere to the principle of sustainable development, no extravagance, got it?"

Fang Yu cleared his throat and spoke seriously.

Ma said nothing, just kept looking at Fang Yu with an eerie stare filled with meaning, which almost broke Fang Yu’s defenses.

Damn!

Fang Yu cursed.

If you keep looking at me like that, I’m gonna break down!

3,000 energy levels is 3,000 energy levels, do we really fancy that 4,500 energy level effect?

Rejecting energy level waste, starting with me, Fang Yu!

Thinking of this, Fang Yu glanced at his balance.

Only remaining: 53,000 silver coins.

"Hiss..."

Fang Yu painfully closed his eyes, still saying this expedition was going to make a big profit, and temporarily he wouldn’t be troubled by funding issues.

And the result?

Crew salaries, ship enchantments, and even when leveling up to forty, after the ship evolves into a warship, all parts can be further reinforced, that’s the real money-burning project.

No amount of money is enough to throw into it.

"Starting today!"

Fang Yu blackened, gradually turning into a wicked capitalist: "Ma, you need to seriously urge the crew to take on personal quests, get their levels up, increase individual crew energy levels."

"If numbers aren’t enough, improve quality. If a crew member can provide the energy level effect of two crew members, then we don’t need to worry about not filling the crew quota."

Fang Yu spoke seriously, his eyes reddened, beginning to plan for the future.

Seeing Fang Yu in this state, Ma was taken aback, then softly coughed and patted Fang Yu’s shoulder:

"Captain..."

"You’re already an accomplished capitalist, learn to generate income independently, strive to make money for the crew."

"Now, so many crew members are waiting for you to pay them, so you better work hard, think of what projects can make money, after all, employees don’t keep idle bosses around."

"A considerate boss knows how to earn money to support employees..."

Fang Yu: ???

What’s this turning the tables, upward management?

Fine, fine, if that’s how you want to play?

However... Fang Yu showed a pondering expression, and thinking carefully, what Ma said wasn’t unreasonable.

He has resources from the Ji Clan Trading Association, the Lighthouse Association of mobsters (now legal arms dealers), they’re extremely wealthy, they don’t even bat an eye at tens of thousands of silver coins.

That he hasn’t developed these resources properly is really inappropriate.

Later maybe he needs a chat with the Black Snake Gang boss.

What’s going on, this dude is a bit incoherent.

He was introduced to good business but didn’t bring any dividends?!

Time to knock him into shape.

However...

Before that.

Fang Yu glanced at Wang Yuanwei who was soundly asleep in the hold, then spoke to Du Ran:

"Du Ran, go wake up Mr. Wang for me!"

Du Ran looked at Fang Yu with a puzzled expression.

Then he saw Fang Yu, with murderous intent in his teeth: "Suddenly felt the pricing for this enchantment is a bit unreasonable, wake him up, I need to renegotiate the enchantment charges."

Du Ran: ???
