But Fang Yu intended to match the warship-level ships.

Currently, even with the investment of lord points, Thick Armor Breath is still somewhat weak compared to the shield capabilities of warship-level ships.

If the opponent has some kind of extremely powerful attack, Fang Yu wouldn't even have time to repair the shield before it would be broken.

Therefore, for this enchantment, Fang Yu plans to use the opportunity for a mid-level enchantment on the shield.

As for the two opportunities for primary enchantment, Fang Yu used them on the ship's cannon, which somewhat compensates for the weaker attack capabilities of the other cannons.

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Wang Yuanwei's eyes lit up, revealing a very interested expression: "Captain Fang Yu, I must tell you in advance that the price for a senior alchemist to perform a mid-level enchantment is not cheap!"

"The cost of hiring a senior alchemist for one mid-level enchantment service is 5,000 Silver Coins!"

Fang Yu: ???

"Wait, hang on! Wasn't it just 3,000 before? How did it soar to 5,000? Are you robbing me?!"

Fang Yu's expression was unfriendly, and his gaze was very dangerous.

"Ahem... The price Captain Fang Yu knows should be from before Qiyun Port initiated the city upgrading plan..."

"That's the case, with the onset of war and the city upgrade plan, mid-level enchantments have now become scarce commodities, with many people queuing up for mid-level enchantments."

"If Captain Fang Yu weren't my old customer, you would probably have to queue up too."

Wang Yuanwei spoke softly, then he coughed lightly and extended his hand, pointing to the distant workshop: "Or perhaps Captain Fang Yu might consider the services of a regular alchemist? A regular alchemist charges only 2,000 Silver Coins for one mid-level enchantment."

"Now, many impatient captains are opting for the services of regular alchemists."

"No need."

Fang Yu sighed.

He had thought earlier that with the map upgrade, the price of mid-level enchantments would definitely rise as well.

But what Fang Yu had speculated was a price of 4,000 Silver Coins.

He didn't expect it to be 5,000 Silver Coins.

It seems that the map upgrade is one factor, but the full outbreak of war is another reason driving these war resources to skyrocket in price.

Just like a bottle of water in the desert can sell for a thousand units, weapons in war can also sell for even higher prices.

Nobody knows when this war will end and when prices will gradually return to normal levels.

Fang Yu shook his head, feeling somewhat exhausted.

He casually said, "Alright then, calculate for me the costs of two primary enchantments and one mid-level enchantment."

"Make sure you personally do the enchantments, don't try to fool me with some apprentices!"

Fang Yu warned.

"Got it!"

Upon hearing Fang Yu's words, Wang Yuanwei was very happy. He quickly pulled out a sheet and handed it to Fang Yu to sign: "The price for two primary enchantments hasn't really changed, let's say 1,500 Silver Coins in total, and with the mid-level enchantment, it comes to a total of 6,500 Silver Coins! Thank you, boss!"

Fang Yu took a deep breath and silently took out the money.

Paying salaries... that used up more than 4,000 Silver Coins.

Plus this time, it was exactly 10,000 Silver Coins.

Just like water flowing out from his wallet, Fang Yu felt his heart bleeding.

He took a look at his panel.

At this moment, he had only over 6,000 Silver Coins left.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.

More than 6,000 Silver Coins, it seems like quite a bit, but for Fang Yu's current expenses, this money won't last very long.

Moreover, the military tasks do not offer monetary rewards, only experience and military merits.

His next goal is to complete the major storyline task of the Alien Plague and obtain the final reward.

Certainly...

In this process, if he could not find a stable source of income, the money would slowly run out.

Now Fang Yu slightly understood why, despite the onset of war and many experience-rich military tasks, there were still a considerable number of captains performing delivery tasks for major trade associations.

Even Fang Yu, who had Dice, felt somewhat short of money, not to mention those captains without Dice to improve their skills.

...

Yet what Fang Yu hadn't realized was...

Typically, a captain, upon reaching level 20, usually doesn't have enough money for a mid-level enchantment.

The normal captain's pace is...

At level 20, perform a primary enchantment, then save money until level 24 or 25, and then perform a mid-level enchantment.

Then when the opportunity at level 25 comes, save up again until level 30 to fill the gap at level 25.

Fang Yu, however, directly filled all his enchantment slots when he reached level 20 in one go.

Equivalent to picking up the pace five levels ahead of other captains.

Besides the financial groups, nobody else could take all the retrofitting spaces at every phase to the fullest like Fang Yu.

Even Shi Jun... couldn't do it!

"The mid-level enchantment requires a bit more time, roughly about 4 days to complete, so Captain Fang Yu will need to stay in Qiyun Port for a little longer," Wang Yuanwei said with a squinting smile.

"No problem, I actually have some matters to handle recently, don't rush the process, and ensure the quality for me!"

Fang Yu instructed.

Having spent so much money, Wang Yuanwei better not give him a shoddy job.

"Rest assured... Captain Fang Yu..." Wang Yuanwei said with a cheerful smile. His gaze slightly narrowed and then he lowered his voice, speaking softly: "With the studio now, my engraving has become much more convenient, and my engraving skills have improved while practicing alone."

"I believe it won't be long before I can obtain the master-level alchemist's certificate."

"Captain Fang Yu chose me; it's definitely a value-for-money choice..."

Fang Yu glanced at Wang Yuanwei, expressionlessly saying:

"Enough, Mr. Wang, we haven't just met today, save that pitch for new clients."

"Ahem..."

Wang Yuanwei coughed a bit, silently picked up the cup of tea on the table, and took a sip.

He didn't speak anymore.

...

Fang Yu glanced at Wang Yuanwei and felt assured leaving his ship under Wang Yuanwei's care for enchantment.

As for the enchantment period...

Fang Yu wasn't talking nonsense with Wang Yuanwei; in fact, he indeed had some matters to handle in the next couple of days...
