Among these people, some have become today's "consortium," deeply rooted, benefiting their families on Blue Star.

Some, even if uninterested in consortium affairs, still possess significant authority.

Every word and action is enough to influence certain directions of the world.

Earlier, the opening of positions at the Ocean Court for Blue Star Captains was due to some captains using their authority to seek benefits for the entire Blue Star Captain community.

Those older captains who did not achieve the corresponding authority were much worse off.

Some people remain stagnant because their faction level has reached the ceiling they can achieve.

Thus, their experience and ship modifications have essentially hit the limit, making further advancement difficult.

Others, unsatisfied with their circumstances, began to deviate.

Either attempting to take the warlord's path or becoming... Hunters!

The earliest batch of Hunters has already formed a separate faction, constantly ready in the shadows, prepared to cause chaos during tumultuous times.

In the end, everyone hopes to be the one benefiting the most from their faction level.

But as with the situation Fang Yu and others encountered today.

Military authority is also limited, a resource not open to everyone.

Fang Yu and Shi Jun have the option to choose freely.

Yet Chan Junzhe and Guan Xinxue can only find ways to gain opportunities and quotas.

...

Over at Kong Huaao's side, it will take 3 more days to review everyone's application to join the legion, and once successfully joined, they can recruit corresponding sea ships based on the legion.

In a sense, the recruitment process is quite similar to when Fang Yu first came to this world and recruited crew members.

Except this time, the recruitment targets are entire sea ships.

Moreover, the targets of recruitment have shifted from Blue Star Navigators to native military personnel with military ranks.

Of course, recruiting Blue Star Navigators is also possible, but one must ensure that the captain will not abandon to undertake other tasks and delay military affairs.

Clearly...

In the minds of Fang Yu and others, they directly discarded this option.

Even finding them is another issue; they are quite certain that Blue Star Captains are not going to stay obediently in the military. If a more lucrative task arises, they would surely go for it.

Recruiting these captains with high uncertainty is essentially courting trouble.

The reliable way is to honestly recruit the native military personnel.

...

After leaving the military office, they agreed to get together for a drink in a couple of days, and then they parted ways, each planning the next modifications for their ships.

Shi Jun's sea ship has been upgraded to a warship, and after calculating their tasks, Yuan Qing and Guan Xinxue, among others, will likely upgrade to warships too.

The space available for modifications on their ships is quite substantial.

As for Fang Yu, he also has numerous modification tasks awaiting him.

After leaving the military office, Fang Yu sighed slightly and rolled the Dice.

This time, however, Fang Yu added a condition:

"Remove the military merit item from the 'Surprise Attack Warlord' mission, and double the others."

Kong Huaao had already seen the total amount of his military merit, and a portion of it had been exchanged for a rank.

Naturally, it couldn't be doubled any further.

The Dice spun in the void for a moment before landing on: 2 points.

Experience: 70,000 → 140,000

Unique Attribute [Random Special Talent Stone] 1 → 2

Unique Attribute [Random Sea Ship Conversion Scroll] 1 → 2

Consequently, Fang Yu's panel shows a total experience of: 312,000

And to upgrade from Level 18 to Level 19 requires only 70,000 experience.

To ascend from Level 19 to Level 20, which involves a qualitative change in level, the experience needed naturally increases to 150,000.

This batch of experience is more than enough to safely boost Fang Yu's level to 20.

However...

He has used all his rolls for today, so Fang Yu decided to level up in the coming days.

Afterward, Fang Yu focused on the two unique attribute rewards.

One is the Talent Stone, which now totals two due to the Dice doubling.

This Talent Stone is obtainable by every Navigator, meaning that Ma and others each have a Talent Stone.

The talents unlocked by each person may differ; Fang Yu plans to ask his crew members later about what talents they obtained.

As for himself...

Without further ado, Fang Yu activated a Random Talent Stone, immediately hearing a notification sound in his mind.

"Activated Random Talent Stone, acquired talent entry [Frugality]."

"Activated Random Talent Stone, acquired talent entry [Dauntless]."

[Frugality]: Entry reduces a Navigator's energy consumption by 15% and increases the absorption effect of supplement-type potions by 15%.

[Dauntless]: Entry activates while in navigation state, putting the sea ship in an energy storage state, increasing the next attack's energy level power by 5-20% (depending on sailing distance), and energy storage gradually decreases when the sea ship stops sailing.

These two entries immediately appeared on Fang Yu's panel, becoming part of Fang Yu's personal talents.

One entry is much needed by Fang Yu for energy management; with this talent, he doesn't have to exhaust himself frequently.

And the more crucial this talent becomes in the later stages, enhancing endurance by 15%, which is vital for a Navigator.

As for the other talent, it is decent as well.

Though it may not be critical, the strength of a sea ship is built by accumulating these small capabilities bit by bit, after all.

Any enhancement is beneficial.

As for those two unique sea ship modifications, Fang Yu also activated them without hesitation...
