Enchantment is not the same as enhancement.

Enhancement and modifications can be done directly using a scroll.

But enchantments require an Alchemist to come aboard the ship and engrave the patterns, which takes two days.

This time, Fang Yu purchased a total of:

1. Two sets of senior Alchemist's enchantment services.

One ship cannon, one torpedo.

After a price surge, one service costs 900 Silver Coin, totaling 1800.

2. One scroll for modifying ship propulsion: 200 Silver Coin.

3. One scroll for enhancing ship propulsion: 1000 Silver Coin.

Ship propulsion devices are very expensive, even more so than ship cannons.

The more significant the enhancement to the ship's capabilities, the scarcer and more expensive the item is on the market.

Fang Yu felt the pain in spending and tried to negotiate with Wang Yuanwei.

But that damn guy kept calling him Mr. Fang just a while ago, and after a batch of old captains flooded in, the goods became in short supply, making Wang Yuanwei act all high and mighty.

"Mr. Fang, you know... this stuff is very in demand right now, almost snatched up as soon as it arrives. Being able to sell it to you at the original price is already because of our deep friendship."

Wang Yuanwei appeared sincere and heartfelt, as if he was being genuinely honest.

It made Fang Yu so angry that he was almost grinding his teeth.

But there was no choice, Fang Yu estimated that it might actually be the truth this time.

There are many old captains wanting to buy enchantment services, enhancement scrolls, and propulsion scrolls.

A few days ago, Fang Yu saw someone on the forum hyping the enhancement scroll to 1500 Silver Coin.

Wang Yuanwei's words, though unpleasant to the ear, were not wrong.

Fang Yu had to grit his teeth and endure the pain to buy this batch of enhancement and enchantment scrolls.

Besides that, Fang Yu also bought an additional... portable volley firearm.

Shaped like a small bracelet, once activated, it transforms into a gun ring around the hand.

The gun ring has a total of 10 barrels, and when fired, all 10 barrels can shoot bullets at once.

Reload time of 5 seconds, with the firepower of 10 bullets per shot.

Range: 500 meters.

Price: 500 Silver Coin

Previously, Fang Yu was amazed at the explosive power when using a machine gun paired with the Stacked Energy Bullet Extraordinary Ability.

He found it unexpectedly effective.

This thing consumes a lot but unleashing a volley of 10 bullets at once, all infused with the extraordinary power of Stacked Energy Bullets.

When fired, it can produce the effect he previously achieved at the front of a battleship using a machine gun combined with this extraordinary ability.

Meanwhile, the sniper rifle is suitable for naval battles, with long-range shooting.

The portable handgun seems more like a basic attack with a passive effect from a game.

And the gun ring serves as a trump card for close encounters, an explosive surprise!

...

After returning to the ship.

Fang Yu and his crew continued to stay docked at the harbor for two more days, waiting for the engraving of the enchantment patterns.

Then Fang Yu also called Luo Kuan and Ma over to inquire about the results of their investigation.

"Captain, this time we investigated..."

"There are five famous captains on the list, and four who are unknown and low-key but guessed not to be weak by you, Captain!"

"There are a total of about 9 competitors!"

Luo Kuan and Ma quickly posted the data they gathered over the past few days.

Fang Yu took a look and nodded slightly, the numbers were about what he expected.

There were four captains, very low-key, yet despite their modesty, their ship modifications couldn't deceive anyone.

It's clear that the modification progress on these four captains' ships is faster than that of ordinary captains.

Presumably, their capabilities are not weak, perhaps even comparable to the five on the power list.

"Luo Kuan, how about that good-looking female captain you saw on the attractiveness list? Not sharing any photos with your buddies?"

Fang Yu glanced at Luo Kuan, somewhat dissatisfied.

Since when did this guy become so stingy and not know how to share?

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Ma's face showed a strange expression as he instinctively glanced at Luo Kuan.

Luo Kuan's smile stiffened abruptly, then recalling some embarrassing past experiences, he waved his hand dismissively, with an expression of indifference: "Captain, let's not bring up the past."

Fang Yu was puzzled: "What? Do you have a story?"

"No, Captain, how could I have a story?"

Luo Kuan turned away, looking like he wanted to end the topic.

And on the side, Ma cleared his throat, unable to hold back: "Well... Captain, actually that day, Luo Kuan and I were the first ones to sneak a peek... uh, do a survey of that female captain on the attractiveness list."

"You don't say, she was indeed good-looking, and seeing her, Luo Kuan practically reverted to his primal state, howling and rushing over to chat her up."

Fang Yu gave Luo Kuan a look, seeing a rare expression of anguish on Luo Kuan's face.

Judging by this... was the attempt to chat her up unsuccessful?

"And then? Did she dislike Luo Kuan's Alchemy义眼?"

Fang Yu was a bit angry, why would anyone dislike his crew's body for being altered by alchemy technology? Isn't that outright discrimination against modifications?!

"No, Captain."

To Fang Yu's surprise, Ma shook his head seriously, speaking earnestly, "Not only did she not dislike Luo Kuan, but she also liked his type and wanted to invite Luo Kuan to her ship."

Hearing this, the whole crew couldn't help but widen their eyes in disbelief:

"Whoa, are you serious? Luo Kuan?! Are you sure?!"

"Alright, Ma, stop talking!"

Luo Kuan's face was filled with shame, unable to lift his head.

This time, Fang Yu couldn't understand: "What's going on? If she really liked Luo Kuan, based on my understanding of this guy, there's no way he'd be so low-key and quiet for these past two days..."

"He would have been bragging all over the place."

Ma cleared his throat, glancing empathetically at Luo Kuan, and said in a low voice, "Luo Kuan did go aboard, but... once on the ship, the female captain ranked on the attractiveness list, pulled out something bigger than his..."

Everyone: ...

A deathly silence fell, leaving only Luo Kuan to cry into his hands.

"A crossdressing master?!"

"Hiss..."

Fang Yu gasped, his crew wasn't pure anymore?!

A crossdressing master is terrifying?!

At this moment, an excited voice came from the cabin:

"What? A crossdressing master?!"

"You're talking about this, and suddenly I'm not sleepy anymore!"

Du Ran, who had just woken up and was still drowsy, was suddenly energized, rushing excitedly to the crowd: "Where? Where is the crossdressing master?"

Everyone: ...

The group collectively distanced themselves from Du Ran.

Get away! Don't get involved!

...

Just then, from behind the ship cannon's mount, Wang Yuanwei's voice called out:

"Fang Yu, the enchantment is done!"
