"We've arrived at Qiyun Port!"

Ma and the others shouted loudly from the front.

The crew was in high spirits.

Finally, back to a familiar port.

What's waiting for everyone now is a huge wave of profits to be settled.

"Captain, Captain, hurry up! Quickly go settle the task."

Everyone stared eagerly at Fang Yu.

They almost had "hungry for food" written all over their faces.

"I know, I know! I'm going now!"

Fang Yu glared at the crew in annoyance, then joined Shi Jun and others heading to the military office.

When the task was first taken, Shi Jun was the main initiator, borrowing his military rank to take the task, and now when it's time to settle the task, naturally, everyone must accompany each other to settle it together.

When everyone arrived at the military office, they found many captains gathered there.

Not just warship-level captains, but also cargo ship-level captains were going in and out incessantly.

Since the war started, all sorts of miscellaneous affairs flooded in, adding many task resources to Qiyun Port.

The veteran captains took on some guarding and wartime tasks.

Newbie captains also had tasks for transporting goods and frontline supplies.

It's hard to tell if this upgrade was a default map enhancement or a situation brought on by the war.

In any case, Qiyun Port is no longer where veteran captains hoard resources and push newbie captains to harder tasks.

Whether it's the military, Ocean Court, or some trading companies and transport firms, they're all short on manpower.

The war has instead become a sort of nourishment, providing Qiyun Port with many task opportunities.

However, ordinary tasks abound, while core tasks remain a rarity...

Now as Fang Yu and others arrived at the military office, the previous officer who had assisted them quickly jogged over in front of them, smiling as he spoke, "You're back? This trip must have been tough!"

The captains nearby, hearing this officer's words, couldn't help but show bewildered expressions, looking at Fang Yu and the others with confused eyes.

What situation is this?

Isn't this officer known for his cold attitude, indifferent to all, telling you to get lost if you don't like it?

All captains coming to receive tasks, whether warship-level or cargo ship-level, face the same indifferent treatment from this officer, who only casually assigns tasks with a glance.

But no one had a way to deal with this officer, since his job was to assign tasks to captains.

The rank may not be high, but the power is significant.

If he liked a captain, he'd give them a high-value task; if not, he'd give a difficult and dangerous task, leaving others no choice but to accept.

Military tasks, unlike those from the Ocean Court.

If you take it, you must complete it, or you'll face a military court trial.

Leaving every captain cautious in front of this officer, fearing they'd upset him and end up with a terrible task.

But today...

What's going on?

This officer, instead of acting aloof, approached with smiles and kind words for Fang Yu and the others.

Everyone swore it was the brightest they'd ever seen this officer smile.

Even smiled more today than a week's worth combined.

This...

Everyone was stunned.

Who are these people?

Are they not Blue Star Captains too?

Why do they have such privileges to warrant such a courteous officer?

"Hey, that looks like Fang Yu!"

"They're the initiators of this forum hot topic battle!"

"Ah, yes! Shi Jun, Yuan Qing, Guan Xinxue, Fang Yu, it's definitely them."

Being captains in Qiyun Port who took the Alien Chaos task, naturally, they'd seen the video Wu Jincheng posted on the forum, quickly recognizing Fang Yu and the others.

Suddenly, excitement showed on everyone's face.

"Wow, these are big shots!"

"All ranked on the combat power list, no wonder they have this officer's enthusiasm."

Someone whispered.

"How could they not be enthusiastic? Their military merits from this mission, the promotion in ranks, are at least officer-level, equal to this cold officer."

"Not only that, due to this battle, they'll surely catch the military's high-ranking attention and be given significant roles."

"Then at that time, after undertaking several core tasks, isn't it easy to rise in rank? Even surpass the officer level and become the cold officer's superior."

"This cold officer probably understands this well, taking the chance to eagerly ingratiate now, so when their ranks rise, they already have a familiar face."

People in the distance whispered.

"So envious..."

Someone envied, looking at people in front quietly murmured, "When accepting tasks, the cold officer scolded me, and I could only smile."

"But these folks can have this officer serve them smiles, and the tasks they pick up are surely core tasks."

"Yes... Certainly core tasks..."

Everyone's eyes involuntarily showed envy.
