After a whirlwind of upgrades, Fang Yu's ship enchantments changed as follows:

[Thunder Cannon Fire lv.4→lv.5 (max)]

Effect 1: Flight speed increased 6→7 times, firing frequency increased 2.5→3 times

Effect 2: Probability of subsequent thunder fire damage increased 45%→50%, subsequent damage value: 70%→80% energy level, duration: 8→9 seconds.

[Chain Cannon Fire lv.3→lv.5 (max)]

Effect 1: Power reduced by 10%→increased by 10%, probability of triple shot 30%→40%, probability of quadruple shot 7%→10%.

Effect 2: Speed stacking 9%→12%, effective stacking duration 20→30 seconds.

Both cannons on the ship have been upgraded, and they have essentially reached the maximum limit of enchantment and enhancement possible for a medium-sized cargo ship.

Now, Fang Yu's ship can be said to be the most powerful medium-sized cargo ship in history.

After all, who has the leisure to invest 12 Lord Points all at once into a medium-sized cargo ship's primary enchantment?

At this moment, the Salted Fish has advanced as far as it can go, with no room for further improvement.

The next step is to upgrade the ship's level to a large cargo ship, which will open up an expansion path for one intermediate enchantment and two primary enchantments.

This wave of level upgrades has now concluded.

Fang Yu pushed open the captain's cabin door, and although he didn't plan to join the beach party, he could still enjoy a day or two of leisure time to consider it a break for himself.

...

Time passed quickly, just as everyone predicted.

As the military took over Zhang Dong's previous territory, Fang Yu and others did not encounter any danger during their last day of garrison duty.

They completed the garrison task smoothly and held out until the last day.

On the final day, when a new group of Blue Star Captains arrived to take on the island guarding mission, Fang Yu and his team completed their respective transfer tasks.

They then handed Lvchun Island over to the next group of Blue Star Captains and set sail back to Qiyun Port on their ship.

...

The journey was smooth, even though this area was experiencing turmoil, the main conflicts took place around major resources and Sea Ore Island, while the waters near major ports remained very safe and calm.

Fang Yu and his team did not encounter any danger as they sailed smoothly back to Qiyun Port.

It is worth mentioning that...

Shi Jun, now relying on the gains from this war, has successfully become a ship-grade captain.

With his level increased to 30, even his ship has become a vessel, emitting a stronger aura and taking another step up.

Shi Jun was originally rumored to be at level 28, and after an event by the Star Removal Association and a raid with Fang Yu and others, naturally advanced to level 30.

However, Shi Jun felt quite complex about his upgrade to level 30.

"Ah..." Shi Jun sighed slightly, then said, "Although reaching level 30 is something to be very happy about, I'm still not in the top 20 of the cargo ship power ranking, even at level 30."

"Even Fang Yu is only ranked at 17th, and there are still 16 captains ahead. What kind of monsters are these captains..."

Shi Jun lamented.

He originally believed that as he continuously leveled up, he would also improve his ranking on the power list, eventually reaching the top.

But who would have thought, even after reaching the milestone of level 30, just when he jumped off the list, his ranking hadn't entered the top 20 yet.

The highest rank was 21st.

This made Shi Jun feel quite downhearted.

Who on the power list isn't a top captain among their peers, with exceptional abilities, tactics, diligence, perseverance, and opportunities to reach the top of the rankings?

Being in the top 100 out of millions, what does that mean?

Each one is outstanding.

But among the outstanding, there are still those who tower above.

Those within the top 20 are even more formidable, even now when Shi Jun has jumped off the cargo ship power list, he can't get into the top 20.

This struck a blow to Shi Jun's pride.

This means... among peers, there are at least 20 people stronger than him.

And this strength may always be stronger.

The cargo ship power ranking has those people ranked ahead of him.

Once everyone advances to the vessel level, it's likely the same group of people will still be ahead.

It has the feeling of the original protagonist becoming the backdrop, watching helplessly as others sweep through everything at the same level.

"What's wrong, Shi Jun, losing confidence already?"

Yuan Qing in front turned around, looked at Shi Jun, and with a smile teased.

When Shi Jun's ship advanced to the vessel level, Yuan Qing's was also approaching quickly.

Currently Yuan Qing's rank is also outside the top 40, which means his feelings on this matter might be even more intense.

However, Yuan Qing didn't mind at all, his eyes glowing with light, he smiled and said, "When the day comes that all talent, resources, and background are left behind, all you have left to rely on is your own perseverance to break through."

"Don't rush, making a push later on isn't a bad thing. For captains like us without a background, managing to get this far is already impressive."

"In the later stages, the support and supply from corporations to captains are so-so, the later stages are when captains like us will catch up head-on!"

Yuan Qing maintained a steady mindset, speaking with a chuckle, not at all feeling discouraged by his current lagging ranking.
