There are no more deliveries, causing the commodities and resources at Qiyun Port to be difficult to replenish from the outside.

Thinking of this, Fang Yu couldn't help but quicken his pace, heading in the direction of the Salted Fish.

He planned to have Ma visit this store.

Fang Yu always felt that this shop was very suitable for a crew member like Ma, who focused on improving his spiritual power.

Perhaps Ma could find some decent theological Extraordinary Magic Stones in this store, and Fang Yu was quite looking forward to what surprising abilities Ma could bring besides Brain Domain Sharing.

...

As Fang Yu arrived at the Ji Clan Trading Association's port, preparing to tear open the Divine Scroll and retrofit the theology, blessing it onto the Salted Fish.

Soon, Fang Yu saw two familiar figures standing on the pier, quietly discussing something.

"Huh? Mr. Lu!"

Fang Yu said with surprise: "I was just about to look for you!"

These two were none other than Lu Kun and Li Chongjing.

At this moment, the two turned their heads to look at Fang Yu upon hearing his voice.

"Lieutenant!"

Li Chongjing, upon seeing Fang Yu, immediately gave a standard military salute and then walked up to Fang Yu.

Li Chongjing was an adjutant under Fang Yu, responsible for leading the Sharp Blade Army in expeditions, and was Fang Yu's right-hand man.

This time, following Fang Yu on an expedition, Li Chongjing's rank rose accordingly, promoted to the level of Sergeant Major.

At this moment, as Li Chongjing walked up to Fang Yu, he immediately explained to Fang Yu: "Lieutenant, you came just in time. I arranged to meet with Mr. Lu to discuss the intermediate enchantment investment we agreed on earlier."

"With the intermediate enchantment investment acquired quickly, the sea ship could set sail soon and participate in the conclusion of the Sea Mine War."

Upon hearing Li Chongjing's words, Fang Yu couldn't help but slap his head.

"Ah, right! Damn it!"

"What's wrong, Lieutenant?"

Li Chongjing asked in confusion.

"It's probably not possible recently. Recently, the Alchemist Association is short-handed, and it seems that the intermediate enchantment investment can only be postponed for later."

Fang Yu wore a pained expression, suddenly remembering this.

Initially, his plan was for himself and the Salted Fish to execute the Alchemist Association's mission regarding the Meat Mountain.

Meanwhile, Li Chongjing would lead the Sharp Blade Army to support the Sea Mine Battle.

After all, the Sea Mine Battle wasn't truly concluded, only a significant advantage was gained,

It was perfect for Li Chongjing to lead the army to support, which on one hand, could expedite the end of the war, and on the other hand, bring continuous war experience to Fang Yu and others.

Splitting the forces was the best choice.

But...

At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly remembered that the Alchemist Association was overwhelmed, sparing time to enchant even one seaworthy vessel at an intermediate level was difficult.

Let alone enchanting fifty vessels at an intermediate level.

Thus, the second investment Lu Kun provided him could only be temporarily postponed. He would have to wait until he resolved the Meat Mountain issue and the Alchemists returned to Qiyun Port before proceeding with the intermediate enchantment for the Sharp Blade Army.

And enhance the military strength of the Sharp Blade Army.

Just then, Lu Kun, who stood nearby, came up with a smile and said to Fang Yu boldly:

"Brother, I've heard from Li Chongjing about the Sea Mine Battle, indeed it's quite something. As per our agreement, I'll provide intermediate enchants for the fifty Sharp Blade Army vessels, but..."

Lu Kun apparently had more updated information than Fang Yu, shaking his head regretfully, he said:

"It seems the Alchemist Association recently encountered some issues, and most of the experienced alchemists have been called back to headquarters to discuss solutions for it."

"Regarding this second wave of investments..."

Lu Kun lightly cleared his throat, showing a fox-like expression, and then said softly: "Brother, you seem eager to proceed with the enchanting, right?"

"Why not just use regular alchemists or intermediate enchantment scrolls for the enchantments?"

Lu Kun said cheekily with a smile.

Hearing Lu Kun's words, Fang Yu sneered:

"No way, Mr. Lu, having an experienced alchemist enchant personally is ten times the cost of using an enchantment scroll. I've been working hard planning the Sea Mine Battle for you, is this how you repay me?"

Upon Fang Yu's words, Lu Kun quickly waved his hand: "No, no, brother, I'm merely suggesting it. If you don't accept, then we shall wait until the experienced alchemists return for the enchantments!"

"Rest assured, brother, your performance this time is evident to all. You've shown sincerity, and I absolutely won't neglect you!"

Lu Kun said earnestly without hesitation.

He glanced at Fang Yu.

Darn...

This lad hasn't changed a bit.

Doesn't even want to lose a Copper Coin.

Looking at Lu Kun, Fang Yu naturally knew what this old fellow was thinking.

However, he didn't care and turned to look at Li Chongjing, asking concernedly:

"How's the recruitment for the Sharp Blade Army going? Is anyone signing up for it?"
