Days passed by, and things were going smoothly in close combat.
Wang Yuanwei didn't have anywhere else to go, so he just stayed on the Salted Fish these days, sharing a room with Luu Yuan and others, working with surprisingly high efficiency.
Every day after waking up, he would start engraving right away.
Midway through engraving, he'd have a meal, take a stroll off the ship for a few dozen minutes, and then climb back aboard to continue engraving.
When tired and lacking energy, he'd drink a bottle of energy potion.
His money-grubbing level was on par with Fang Yu's, seizing every chance to fleece him; since Fang Yu provided the potion, might as well drink as much as possible.
Opportunities to fleece Fang Yu aren't many, so drink while there's still a chance.
The task that was initially estimated to take 4-5 days was compressed to just three and a half days by Wang Yuanwei.
Fang Yu wasn't concerned about Wang Yuanwei fleecing him; those beginner energy potions were guaranteed drops when defeating monsters, fairly easy to obtain, so drink as much as you like. When they run out, just use Dice to double up and get more.
While supervising Wang Yuanwei, his gaze shifted to his private chat channel, where Fang Yu was chatting with Cheng Peng.
"Peng, the Cheng Clan is here this time too. You should greet them; on the seas, everyone should mind their own business."
"Don't worry, brother. I've already greeted my cousin. Although some members in my clan have gotten pretty intense and shifty after entering this world, my cousin's alright, and we get along well."
"Alright, that puts my mind at ease."
After closing his private chat channel, Fang Yu, feeling bored, shifted his gaze to the recent Southern Island Sea Region's war channel.
"The Four Major Clans Return Defeated, Gaining Nothing but Heavy Losses."
"The Divine Pillars in the East Ring Sea Region are far harder to deal with than anticipated, needing involvement from native forces to jointly respond."
Looking at the war channel about the Southern Island Sea Region, especially those few hot topics, Fang Yu couldn't help but chuckle.
Those clans came in high spirits, yet before they started fighting, they had already divided the resources and divine essence amongst themselves, forbidding Qiyun Port's Blue Star Captain from intervening.
In the end, they were the first to advance, but suffered great losses, directly overwhelmed by the Divine Envoys in the East Ring Sea Region.
Now they've learned their lesson.
Each returned to Qiyun Port, opting to rely on the forces of the Duorong Federation to jointly counter the East Ring Sea Region's conflict.
At this moment, everyone has returned to Qiyun Port, essentially back to square one.
When the military sorts things out and extends their forces, the war in the East Ring Sea Region will officially begin.
The future of who can conquer the Divine Pillars and obtain the divine essence within all depends on individual performance.
"Fang Yu bro, it's done!"
Just then, a tired yet immensely pleased and proud voice came from outside the door.
Wang Yuanwei clapped his hands, boldly sat on the deck chair outside Fang Yu's captain's cabin—Fang Yu's exclusive spot.
But Wang Yuanwei didn't mind, opened the priciest juice from the warehouse, and drank it gulp after gulp.
Seeing Wang Yuanwei's bold posture for credit, Fang Yu couldn't help but laugh, quickly opened the door, and glanced at Wang Yuanwei: "Done?"
"It's done, go check it out!"
Wang Yuanwei waved and grinned, filled with a sense of accomplishment.
"Great, Mr. Wang, you've gotten faster!"
"Wish you keep getting faster."
Fang Yu patted Wang Yuanwei's shoulder, very satisfied.
Wang Yuanwei: ...
You damn it, is this how you praise someone?
...
Ignoring Wang Yuanwei, Fang Yu shifted his gaze towards the two newly installed intermediate enchantments on the ship:
Intermediate Enchantment for the Chain Cannon:
[Unlimited Firepower (lv1)]
Effect 1: Cancels cannon loading time, allowing it to always be in firing state, but reduces power by 20%, increasing energy level consumption by the crew by 20%.
Effect 2: Adds a phantom cannon barrel, replacing the original chain effect; when the original chain effect is triggered, the phantom barrel releases attacks accordingly, with the attack strength at 80% of the main barrel.
Intermediate Enchantment for the Power Device:
[Scorching Furnace (lv1)]
Constant passive ability: After the ship defeats enemy ships, corresponding thermal energy crystal stones can be acquired (quantity calculated based on enemy strength).
Effect 1: Burning 1 thermal energy crystal stone can increase speed by 2%, with a maximum burning limit of 10 stones, and a burning duration of 20 minutes.
Effect 2: Burning thermal energy crystal stones distribute energy consumption among ship parts: burning 1 stone provides one part a 30% reduction in energy level consumption for 30 seconds; the same part can burn only 1 stone at the same time.
"Oh? Not bad!"
Looking at the newly available intermediate enchantment descriptions on the panel, Fang Yu's eyes lit up.
Unlimited Firepower needs no further explanation; it's a purely offensive skill that keeps output time consistently and steadily, and when the relevant passive is triggered, it allows the phantom barrel to fire an additional shot.
Especially canceling the loading time, completely compensates for the flaw of a round of attacks followed by necessary loading time before the next attack can start.
In naval battles, this enchantment retrofit plays a huge role.
Currently, Fang Yu's evaluation of the two intermediate enchanted ship cannons is:
Thunderfire Cannon is more inclined towards attacking single targets, with extremely powerful output capability against single targets, but its flaw is the loading time issue which makes its attack frequency not particularly remarkable.
Now, the intermediate-enchanted Chain Cannon perfectly compensates for Thunderfire Cannon's shortcomings.
