Including the Sharp Blade Army—currently, there are only 45 ships remaining, some of which were sunk in previous battles, also brought back by Fang Yu.

The investment contract with Lu Kun can continue to be fulfilled:

Initially, a collective primary enchantment investment.

If there is subsequent progress, a collective intermediate enchantment investment will be fulfilled again.

Finally, once the military factory is completely taken down, the final investment fulfillment will be made.

Currently, we are at the second step.

Regarding the Sea Mine Battle, after this Ijima Battle, it indeed has taken a significant step forward.

It can be considered as completing the "some progress" of the second step.

As for completely taking over the military factory, it should be achievable within a month and a half.

This time, Fang Yu plans to bring the Sharp Blade Army back to Qiyun Port, on one hand to replenish and expand the Sharp Blade Army.

After all, Fang Yu's military rank has been promoted to Lieutenant, and his military power can further expand, from a scale of 50 ships to 200 ships.

The subsequent replenishments will be handled by Li Chongjing.

On the other hand, he is also preparing to have Lu Kun fulfill his promise, to upgrade the core naval ships of the Sharp Blade Army, increasing the strength of his subordinate forces.

This army, Fang Yu plans to continue investing in the Sea Ore Island war within the next two months, helping him gain experience while accelerating the progress of the Sea Mine Battle.

Meanwhile, he can spare some time to carry out other tasks.

It must be said, whether it's military power or future potential influence in the Ocean Court, they are excellent experience and resource cards.

Being there, they can continuously provide him with experience and resources.

...

On the second day of sailing towards Qiyun Port, Fang Yu woke up, preparing to level up to Level 25 and unlock further improvements to the naval ships.

But at that moment, laughter from the crew echoed from outside.

"Captain, Captain, there's good news!"

Luo Kuan's voice came from outside, with a tone of delight.

"Hmm? What's happening?"

Curious, Fang Yu temporarily put the upgrade aside, opened the door, and looked at the crew.

"What's making you all so happy?"

Fang Yu glanced at a few crew members, some of whom were even munching on breakfast, gathered together and laughing continuously.

They had a triumphant look on their faces.

Seeing the crew like this, Fang Yu couldn't help but feel curious.

"Captain, look at the forum, the reviews have reversed. Mr. Kong reported the details of this battle in the military and named the soldiers from this expedition as honorary warriors. Now everyone on the forum is discussing this matter."

"A captain who went on this expedition with us recorded the entire process. Everyone saw us use strategy to sink nine hundred ships first and then, together with Mr. Kong, fight a fierce battle to destroy three thousand enemy ships. They are all amazed."

"Now our fans are constantly increasing, the enthusiasm is off the charts."

"Even your rank on the power rankings has risen, reaching fourth place!"

Ma excitedly spoke, eager to see Fang Yu's delighted expression after seeing the forum comments.

Alongside, Luu Yuan and others also laughed and said, "It's a pity that Zhang Wangyue has already been promoted to Captain level and left the ranking. Many on the forum regret not being able to see the rivalry, many say we have the opportunity to take the top spot, to dethrone Zhang Wangyue."

"Zhang Wangyue? We haven't even undergone the Level 25 upgrade yet, and we've already reached fourth place."

"Surpassing him, isn't it an easy task?"

Luo Kuan casually remarked.

Recently, after seeing the forum's reviews of Fang Yu, this young guy became a bit complacent, speaking nonchalantly.

He seemed to not take Zhang Wangyue seriously at all.

Everyone's eyes turned to Fang Yu, wanting to see his reaction to the forum's reversed comments.

But...

Fang Yu just smiled and shook his head, saying, "Oh, it's this matter. I thought it was something else. Alright, enjoy yourselves, I'm going back to the captain's cabin."

After speaking, Fang Yu casually took some freshly warmed pancakes and milk and returned to the captain's cabin.

Leaving everyone looking at each other in confusion.

What's going on...

They exchanged glances.

The captain didn't even bother to look at the forum; isn't he concerned about the positive reviews and the rising ranking?

...

He isn't concerned.

From the start, Fang Yu didn't care much about the forum matters.

Whether the reviews are good or bad, it's actually indifferent to him.

As long as he does his best, even in the event of temporary negative reviews, as long as his pace is not affected, he can completely disregard the forum's opinions.

As for the power rankings, they're just for amusement.

Could the official rankings truly judge Fang Yu's strength from a few short videos?

One's strength presents itself in various aspects and cannot be judged based on a singular performance.

Not to mention a naval ship.

It's just that the Salted Fish had such a performance in that battle.

In other situations, there might even be better performances, who knows.

Ranking... doesn't matter.

However.

Fang Yu is indeed somewhat interested in that person called Zhang Wangyue.
