Chapter 1 The Uprising

Long Blood's report stunned Nine Dragons Emperor on the spot.

"That's impossible!" Nine Dragons Emperor directly denied. "I'm very clear about Feng Qianyu's level. It would be good enough if she could reach the central area now. How could she take the first clear of Dusk Forest?"

They were in the same guild, so they knew each other very well. Even if Feng Qianyu had some unknown trump cards, it was still not enough to kill the final Boss, the King of Ten Thousand Trees, in Dusk Forest. He was only confident in challenging it because he had obtained a set of advanced magic arrays and the assistance of Blood Radiance Paradise.

But from the information he knew, Feng Qianyu didn't have any advanced magic arrays.

"Long Kui also suspected it, so she verified the news several times. There's even a video, so there's no mistake," Long Blood explained. "Moreover, Feng Qianyu was able to pass through Dusk Forest this time thanks to an item called Flame Potion, which greatly reduced the Boss's attributes. Plus, there's a super-strong MT in the Shura Adventure Team who can withstand the weakened Boss. In the end, the Zero Wing guild members used a Tier 4 magic scroll to kill the Boss."

"Lucky fellow, to be able to find a way to weaken the Boss." Nine Dragons Emperor's eyelids twitched as he watched the transmitted battle video, and a hint of jealousy appeared in his eyes. Then he sneered, "Just wait, you've only obtained the first clear of Dusk Forest. I'll let you know that this is just a dying struggle. Now, you notify Long Kui and tell her that the plan can begin. Also, casually inform that old geezer Beast Emperor. I don't have any more patience. I don't want to see Zero Wing jumping around under my nose."

"Yes!" Long Blood felt a tremor throughout his body when he heard Nine Dragons Emperor's cold and resolute tone.

On the other side, Shi Feng also arrived at Seafarer Town through the teleportation magic array.

Compared to the first time he came to Seafarer Town, the number of players in Seafarer Town was much larger. Many players could be seen on the streets calling for people to team up and level up on the islands.

In addition to the surge in the number of players, some merchant players could also be seen starting to run sea routes for transportation.

"Transportation from Seafarer Town to Sand Bay Town, special price now, only 15 silver coins per person. No charge for items in the backpack space less than 1,000 slots. Each additional 1,000 slots of storage will cost 5 silver coins. Each non-storable item is three silver coins!"

"Transportation from Seafarer Town to Coral Harbor, only 20 silver coins per person. No charge for items in the backpack space less than 1,000 slots. Each additional 1,000 slots of storage will cost 7 silver coins. Each non-storable item is five silver coins!"

…

Because of the shouts of these sea merchant teams, many solo merchant players and adventure team members surrounded them, wanting to haggle over the price with the merchant teams.

Using sea transportation was basically to save on expensive teleportation fees. In particular, cross-border teleportation fees were very expensive. Even for two neighboring countries, it was calculated in gold coins, and two or three gold coins was normal for countries far apart. But if sea transportation was used, it would be much cheaper, especially for non-storable items that gave players headaches.

Although sea transportation in Seafarer Town was not yet large-scale, it was already taking shape.

"These people are really fast." Shi Feng glanced at the sea merchant teams on the street and immediately found that there were more than five such teams. He smiled faintly, "It seems that we need to start making new cargo ships sooner."

In the previous life, sea transportation was very developed, and the benefits were quite amazing. Therefore, major guilds established sea merchant teams and competed for sea territories.

Shi Feng felt that his actions were fast enough, but there were countless capable people in God's Domain. Many people had discovered the business opportunities here early on.

Currently, these merchant teams were renting ordinary cargo ships provided by NPCs, with a very limited capacity of only 35 people and a small amount of items that could be loaded, with only 30 non-storable items.

For this, they had to pay high rents and needed enough escort ships to protect them. Otherwise, the cargo ships would be destroyed by sea beasts before they even reached halfway. After all, cargo ships had no attack power at all, unlike ordinary speedboats that had some attack capabilities.

Therefore, the profits were also very limited.

Previously, he spent 30,000 gold to acquire a special medium-sized shipyard. As long as there were enough materials and engineers, he could start manufacturing new cargo ships, which not only increased the speed by 15% but also increased the number of players that could be loaded from 35 to 40, which was much better than ordinary cargo ships.

Now, both materials and engineers were sufficient, so he could start manufacturing completely.

When they were launched, whether they were rented out or used by themselves, they could earn a lot.

Immediately, Shi Feng contacted Melancholic Smile and asked her to send a large number of engineers over. The number and quality of engineers in Candlelight Firm were not good before, but now Candlelight Firm was already the sacred place for lifestyle professions in Star-Moon Kingdom. With the continuous expansion of lifestyle players, the number of engineers was very large. Even if only a small portion of them were sent over, it would be enough to support the operation of a large shipyard, let alone a medium-sized shipyard.

"Guild Leader, are you really going to use such precious materials to manufacture Falcon Speedboats and new cargo ships?" Zhuo Yuan clicked his tongue as he looked at the ancient primal wood that Shi Feng had taken out.

As a master-level engineer, he had some research on various materials in God's Domain, especially the various materials needed in engineering.

Among them, ancient primal wood was a top-quality material for manufacturing ships. Not to mention manufacturing advanced speedboats, it would be a waste to even manufacture bronze-level speedboats, let alone the new cargo ships that were not even advanced cargo ships.

"Let's use these ancient primal woods first. I don't have any higher-level design drawings here at the moment."

Shi Feng knew it was a pity too.

Ancient primal wood was a rare material only produced in Dusk Forest. Using all ancient primal wood to manufacture could not only greatly increase the success rate of manufacturing, but also had a certain chance of attaching the enhancement of ancient power, making the quality of the manufactured ships even higher. Using it on ships that could not even reach the bronze level was not just a luxury, it was simply a waste of resources.

But he couldn't care so much.

Ship design drawings were extremely rare. He was already lucky to be able to obtain the design drawings for advanced speedboats and new cargo ships.

Afterward, Shi Feng gave the design drawings for the Beginner Mana Bomb to Zhuo Yuan for manufacturing.

Advanced speedboats and new cargo ships could be easily manufactured by relying on advanced engineers, so there was no need for an engineering master like Zhuo Yuan to do it himself. The Beginner Mana Bomb was different. Even though it was only a beginner-level item, it was still an advanced design drawing. If ordinary advanced engineers were to manufacture it, the success rate would be good if it could reach 30%. But if Zhuo Yuan were to manufacture it, the success rate would be at least 50% or more, which could save a lot of costs. After all, the materials for manufacturing the Beginner Mana Bomb were scarce and expensive, so this could save a lot of unnecessary waste.

"Such exquisite craftsmanship! So magic arrays can be used like this?" Zhuo Yuan took the design drawings that Shi Feng handed over. He was immediately attracted to the Beginner Mana Bomb design drawings after just looking at them for a moment.

"I'll leave the work in the shipyard to you. As for this design drawing, you can learn it. Try to manufacture it when you have time. I'll have a big use for it later." Shi Feng shook his head and smiled as he watched Zhuo Yuan engrossed in it.

"Guild Leader?" Zhuo Yuan was stunned at first when he heard this, then he was overjoyed and excited.

Previously, he was just the chief engineer of Candlelight Firm, equivalent to a core member of Zero Wing. But now, managing a shipyard was very different. That was equivalent to stepping into the management of the Zero Wing guild, which was the dream and pursuit of many lifestyle players.

Afterward, Shi Feng handed over some of the shipyard's permissions to Zhuo Yuan. Then, the hired NPC engineering master Rodney would assist him, which could not only increase the success rate of manufacturing but also speed it up a lot.

Just as Shi Feng finished these things and was preparing to take White Feather and the others directly to Thunder Island, Aqua Rose suddenly walked over excitedly and whispered to Shi Feng, "Guild Leader, Half Summer just contacted me and said that she has already transferred to become a Dragon Slayer, and not only Half Summer, but Cola has also completed the Dragon Slayer transfer. Do you need them to come over now?"
