Princess Harbor, as its name suggests, is magnificent and noble.
The Imperial Navy has stationed a powerful fleet here, making its security far surpass that of most other harbors. This security, coupled with its excellent geographical location, attracts people and ships from all over, fostering a thriving economic landscape.
"So lively! This harbor! The population density is no less than that of big cities in the real world!"
Chen Ming was walking along a street in Princess Harbor, the bustling crowd in sight, the exotic otherworld harbor atmosphere hitting him, making him exclaim in awe.
"Keep a low profile, don't act like a bumpkin who just entered the city, or you'll become a target for those with intent."
Beside him, the taller Chen Can immediately reminded him, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding pedestrians, containing a significant amount of caution.
"Oh... Now that Fan isn't by our side, we should be more careful."
After his brother's reminder, Chen Ming immediately realized his previous behavior was indeed a bit inappropriate.
"Let's find someone to ask where we can recruit sailors, preferably choosing a reputable place."
Chen Can continued to ponder aloud, taking on the task of recruiting for Wang Zhifan, and now it was time to get to work.
The figures of the two were soon submerged in the bustling streets of Princess Harbor, while at the same time, Wang Zhifan was also busy.
"That old guy seems really engrossed in eating and drinking, is he really not planning to run away?"
Initially, through his spiritual connection with the Dream Me Avatar, he controlled an avatar to track that One-Eyed Dragon elder to confirm his condition, finding that the other party seemed very honest for the moment, gathering in a tavern with those pirates to drink.
"That crocman went ashore to buy a bunch of stuff and then returned to praying, it feels unnecessary to keep monitoring him."
He continued to control another Dream Me Avatar through spiritual connection; this avatar was currently hidden nearby, or rather on this Great Horned Shark Pirate Ship because that crocman was currently inside the cabin.
"I also have to keep an eye on the Chen Ming and Chen Can brothers at all times..."
His third Dream Me Avatar was secretly tracking his two companions, as he wasn't totally at ease with letting them act alone. If anything unexpected happened, it wouldn't be good. By arranging for his avatar to secretly follow underground, he could support them immediately through dream intrusion and dream breaking, as the Dream Me itself had a certain combat strength, providing timely help.
"Multitasking like this is quite troublesome... though it's also a kind of targeted training for the Great Dream Saber Scripture, but for such trivial matters, having the Dream Me Avatar handle them autonomously is best... Unfortunately, my cultivation level hasn't reached this stage yet."
This current helpless situation aroused Wang Zhifan's urge to quickly improve his cultivation of the Great Dream Saber Scripture because he knew that at a higher level of this scripture, the Dream Me Avatar cultivated wouldn't be just a complete illusion like now, needing his control for everything. By then, he could allocate certain personal will to his avatars, elevating them from mere lifeless forms to something akin to subroutines, capable of autonomously handling not too complex tasks according to his arrangements and constantly providing him feedback.
While pondering this, Wang Zhifan sensed a few people climbing onto the deck of the Great Horn Shark using ropes, so he quickly walked out of the captain's cabin to greet them.
"Sir, these are the experienced shipwrights I brought for you, they are experts in ship repair."
As he expected, the visitor was the captain of the Sea Parrot. This person was quite reliable, bustling with the tasks Wang Zhifan entrusted him with after he saved this captain's life and provided a box of gold bars as payment.
"Thank you, Captain! Let's grab a drink after we're done!"
Wang Zhifan immediately stepped forward to pat the captain's shoulder, expressing thanks, and then said to the shipwrights who came along:
"Everyone, please carefully inspect and repair my ship. I need to sail it into the Storm Sea, so it must withstand powerful waves... Also, I don't have much time for repairs; about three days to set sail… As for money, it won't be an issue, you can hire more hands if needed, I'll prepay half the wages…"
He clearly stated his requirements to the shipwrights, emphasizing the needed effects and the time constraint for the work.
"Boss, smoothly sailing the Storm Sea isn't just about having a sturdy hull; your ship must have the Sea God's Blessing, otherwise, even a steel-built ship wouldn't hold up."
The leading shipwright, after hearing him, didn't immediately assure that they could accomplish it, instead reminded him of the crucial element not to be neglected.
"The Sea God's Blessing is already obtained, you can rest assured about that, I just need you to repair the damage on this ship within three days and reinforce it as much as possible…"
Wang Zhifan then clarified this with the shipwrights, having them examine the ship's situation on the spot and providing a general maintenance plan, with the Sea Parrot's captain also offering some of his personal suggestions during the process.
After roughly an hour of discussion, the Great Horn Shark was soon pulled out of its current port berth and directed towards a large shipyard somewhere in Princess Harbor, officially commencing repairs and enhancements.
