The ship slowly docked at Qiyun Port, and Fang Yu and his crew disembarked from the Salted Fish.

A few crew members, full of excitement, urged Fang Yu to settle the task rewards.

"What's up?"

Fang Yu glanced at these guys.

Bold!

How could they boss around the captain?

"Captain, boss~~ Everyone's waiting for their rewards to get by. I'm just short a bit of money for the merchandise I want to buy. If I wait any longer, the price will go up. Please settle it quickly!"

The crew members looked at Fang Yu miserably, like corporate slaves demanding their pay.

The passing captains cast disdainful and contemptuous glances at Fang Yu.

What kind of captain is this?

It's just a matter of a few hundred Copper Coins, does he have to owe his crew their wages?

Fang Yu: ...

Really, guys? Doing me like this? Alright, alright.

Fang Yu roughly knew that his ship had successfully sunk a vessel this time, rewarding them with 50 Silver Coins.

Adding the previous shared wealth rewards, the crew of his ship could probably purchase the Extraordinary Magic Stone by now.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu nodded, not wanting to hold back his crew. The crew being able to improve more is a good thing for Fang Yu.

He instructed Luo Kuan to export the recordings from the Alchemy义眼 for him.

Then he proceeded, planning to hand these recordings to the military, to Mr. Kong.

...

Upon arriving at the previous office location, Fang Yu paused, meticulously inspecting the buildings ahead, comparing them left and right, and then finally confirmed:

The previous building had been transformed into an office.

[South Island Sea Military Sub-Region Office]

The large, bold letters caught Fang Yu's eyes, leaving him quite bewildered.

"What's going on?"

Fang Yu murmured, wondering why the office had so quickly turned into a military sub-region office? Didn't Mr. Kong say there was no hurry, to take it step by step?

Now that it has become like this, does it also mean...

The conflict might spread to Qiyun Port?

Fang Yu shook his head, deciding to settle the task directly. If war starts, that's not his headache.

For now, what he's urgent about is enhancing his ship's capabilities and improving his Extraordinary Ability.

As for the rest?

If there's a task, do the task, if not...

Oh, with the connections Fang Yu has cultivated, there shouldn't be a shortage of tasks.

Upon arriving at Kong Huaao's office, he found Kong Huaao looking intently at a report, with a serious expression.

Upon seeing Fang Yu enter, Kong Huaao quickly flipped the report, covered it up, and then looked at Fang Yu with some delight, saying, "You're back? How did the task go this time?"

"I even told Wang Xiaohu to keep an eye on the military factory area. If he sees your return, report to me immediately."

"But after watching for a few days, no ships returned to the military factory, even the ones from the Ji Clan Trading Association haven't come back. We thought you might have encountered an incident at sea."

Kong Huaao chuckled and shook his head, clearly relieved.

If Fang Yu hadn't returned for a long time, Kong Huaao might have really dispatched his men to search.

Listening to Kong Huaao's tone, Fang Yu knew that this seemingly serious and earnest soldier had a sense of responsibility for those working for him, which warmed Fang Yu's heart a little.

"There was a bit of trouble, but it didn't have much to do with me."

Fang Yu casually told Mr. Kong about the events on the way.

However, when it came to Rong chasing him, Fang Yu didn't mention that he had destroyed a vessel, but instead said that another Blue Star Captain had taken Rong away.

And after seeing Rong leave, Fang Yu just returned on his own by ship.

A roundabout journey, but the twists weren't on him.

After hearing Fang Yu's words, Mr. Kong was relieved, visibly relaxing.

"Indeed thrilling, you did well."

A faint smile appeared on Mr. Kong's face as he spoke to Fang Yu:

"Alright then, let's settle your task rewards now."

Mr. Kong chuckled lightly.

Subsequently, a panel notification sounded in Fang Yu's mind: "Completed task[Tri-party Undercover], all members gained 12000 experience, earned 100 military merit points, 20 Ocean Court points, 40 Ji Clan Trading Association points."

"Triggered main quest[Alien Conflict], activated[Alien Conflict]global task, initiator [Fang Yu] receives an extra 20% task reward in this series."

"Upon completing the series of tasks, initiator [Fang Yu] can unlock ultimate rewards."

"Final goal of task settlement: South Island Sea Region disengages from conflict influence."

At this moment, all Blue Star Captains affected by Alien Conflict, whether migrating or undertaking similar tasks, simultaneously heard a panel notification in their minds.

"Global task[Alien Conflict]has been triggered, South Island Sea Region enters a secondary wartime state, captains can take applicable tasks at the military office as needed."

Even the rookie captains who just arrived at the South Island Sea Region heard the same voice.

Leaving all newbie captains shivering with fear.

No way, what's going on?

Doomsday start?

...

"Someone triggered the main quest!"

In Qiyun Port, an old captain exclaimed in shock to other captains around him.

"Who triggered the main quest? Based on the description, does it mean the conflict could spread to the South Island Sea Region?"

A few old captains gathered, shock evident in their eyes as they looked at each other.

Yet at the same time, exchanging looks, they saw the worry and bitterness in each other's eyes.

Damn it...

Main quest...

Believe it or not, in a span of just a month, we've triggered it twice now!

The last main quest was... the West Qinghai Sea Region Warlord Uprising main quest.

The Warlord Uprising main quest required at least level 40 veteran captains to participate.

Unfortunately, this group of old captains could only retreat to the novice village, back to Qiyun Port because of the main quest.

There was no way to continue staying there.

But...

You're telling us now that someone in Qiyun Port triggered the main quest?

The old captains felt a tingling sensation.

They'd already taken refuge in the novice village, and still, the main quest is after them, who the hell is this heartless guy triggering the main quest again?

Are they not letting people live?

At this moment, the instigator of the main quest, Fang Yu, blinked and subconsciously glanced at the report on Mr. Kong's desk.

With a slight cough: "So, uh... Mr. Kong, mind if I take a peek at that report? I feel it somewhat involves me..."
