Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 518 - 274: Guide Qi Dongdong, Sea Vessel’s Second Soul Transformation

"Me? I’m Qi Dongdong! I’ve only been in this world for three months."

This person had a very relaxed demeanor, just moments ago he was lazily sunbathing and yawning.

Seeing Fang Yu’s sea ship approaching, he patted the dust off his pants, got up quickly, and briskly walked over to Fang Yu. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Seeing the relaxed demeanor Qi Dongdong displayed, Fang Yu couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled: "Brother, you’re a sailor, right? Why aren’t you out at sea with a ship?"

The only way for sailors to improve is to sign a contract with a lord, that is, a captain, and perform maritime tasks.

Otherwise, only personal tasks on land can only bring them money, not experience.

So seeing so many sailors on the beach who haven’t signed a contract with a captain, Fang Yu couldn’t help but show a hint of curiosity.

In his perception, the energy level fluctuation from this young man named Qi Dongdong in front of him probably didn’t even reach 5 points, extremely weak.

Even if he has only been in this world for two months, he should have surpassed 5 points with normal navigation, right?

After hearing Fang Yu’s words, Qi Dongdong shrugged helplessly: "Oh...brother, there’s nothing I can do. The situation hasn’t been optimistic lately, a lot of us sailors have decided to switch jobs and give up on the maritime path."

"Either find some small business to do or work part-time jobs, anyway, the maritime path is getting increasingly difficult."

"How so?"

Fang Yu didn’t understand.

"Recently, it’s really not that friendly for us low-level sailors."

"Many people, not just pirates, have their eyes on the Blue Star Captain’s ships."

"I don’t know what method they’re using, maybe it’s a Scroll? Anyway, after activating the Scroll, a white light appears, and then... the captain of the ship completely loses contact with the ship, as if the ship has nothing to do with them."

"Then the ship is taken over by someone, but those who seize the ships don’t intend to kill anyone, they just kick all the sailors off the ship."

"As a result, the number of ships has sharply decreased, while the number of sailors has surged; the supply and demand are completely unbalanced, and we new sailors don’t have much competitiveness, so naturally, we are left behind."

Qi Dongdong shook his head, feeling as if he’s completely resigned.

After hearing Qi Dongdong’s words, Fang Yu’s expression changed slightly.

Fang Yu had actually anticipated this situation, but he didn’t expect it to come so soon.

The captains who have been stripped of their ships undoubtedly have the Peacekeeping Council behind the scenes causing trouble.

Even... because the Peacekeeping Council has developed this technology, it has attracted other forces eyeing the Blue Star Captain’s ships, not just the Peacekeeping Council.

Some gray forces, like pirates and warlords, may also have their sights set on the Blue Star Captain’s ships.

Fang Yu had previously seen Blue Star Captain ships that could grow being sold on the black market, and they weren’t cheap, priced in units of Gold Coins.

One Blue Star Captain ship could go from dozens to hundreds of Gold Coins, and an Extraordinary Ship could possibly sell for even more.

Such profits are enough to tempt many wrongdoers into taking risks.

Why deal in arms? Why hijack cargo ships?

Can the total value of the goods on a cargo ship even reach 1 Gold Coin?

Whereas a Blue Star Ship, just one could be dozens of Gold Coins, with no cost other than the stripped Scroll.

This terrifying profit is enough to drive anyone insane.

"The Blue Star ship is becoming a mineral... a sought-after mineral, already known for its value in ship evolution..."

Fang Yu thought to himself, his eyes looking towards the beach where he saw a large number of sailors loitering at Shidun Port, imagining that more sailors would lose their ships and become one of the unemployed in the future.

In the long run, the Blue Star Captain really might become a mining vein.

However...

This is not something Fang Yu can manage right now. He had previously discussed this matter with Cheng Peng, and it seems Cheng Peng has started using his connections to form a self-defense alliance for Blue Star Captains. It was even heard that the authorities had contacted the earliest batch, those top Blue Star Captains with peak ambitions.

Some have already nodded, willing to stand up for the Blue Star Captains and help them establish a force.

Those earliest captains who arrived in this world had no competition or monopoly when they arrived; the whole world was their upgrade resource. So the earliest captains who managed to survive have basically grown into strong forces.

The speed at which they improved is unknown how much faster than those who came later. If these captains are willing to stand up and take charge, the current situation might be alleviated.

Right now, Fang Yu can only take care of himself and do what’s in front of him.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu looked at Qi Dongdong in front of him and said, "Brother Dongdong, are you familiar with Lanyun Sea Country? Would you like to be my guide?"

This is Fang Yu’s first arrival, and his understanding of Lanyun Sea Country is naturally not as good as sailors who came here first.

Even if this sailor has been in Lanyun Sea Country for less than two months.

After hearing Fang Yu’s words, Qi Dongdong’s eyes lit up, and he excitedly said, "Alright! I can be your guide. Ever since my captain’s ship was taken, I’ve been trying to find a future career path, and being a guide is one of them. I’ve even studied some history and topography of Lanyun Sea Country!"
