Chapter 156: Arrival, Female Player (2)
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“I’ve been waiting at the entrance of the territory. Where are you? 1 can’t seem to see… Wait, those large s.h.i.+ps in the distance…”
“If you are talking about the nine s.h.i.+ps, they are mine, unless something unexpected happens.”
Standing on the dock, l_Love_Black_Stockings was instantly frozen in place, watching the fleet slowly approaching their territory on the distant sea surface, filled with shock and disbelief.
They had only come to buy a few recruiting camp cores, was it necessary to bring such a large s.h.i.+p?
Especially the one in the middle, even though it was still far away, it was as ma.s.sive as a mountain. Could players at this stage really obtain something like that?
No, that’s not the point!
She had thought that the Islander might bring a s.h.i.+p, but she never expected this many.
Apart from the flags.h.i.+p in the middle, the other eight three-masted wars.h.i.+ps, any one of them would take her a year of hard work without eating or drinking to afford.
But the Islander actually had a total of eight of them, it was… too extravagant!
Looking at her own two single-masted sailboats, she suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.
Is this what a big shot looks like?
A feeling of awe surged within her, making her legs in black stockings tremble uncontrollably, and her whole body s.h.i.+ver.
The fleet stopped on the sea surface several hundred meters away because there was no harbor for them to dock.
Just when l_Love_Black_Stockings thought they would lower a smaller boat to get closer, something happened that shocked her once again.
A surge of seawater erupted from the sea, creating a cascading water staircase that connected the side of the s.h.i.+p to the surface, stretching all the way to the dock.
A man accompanied by a large number of military units walked slowly along the water staircase.
Like a divine being descending from the sky, emanating endless radiance and majesty, he arrived before her.
“Are you… l_Love_Black_Stockings?” This handsome man, with profound and starry eyes, asked.
I_Love_Black_Stockings was instantly awakened and stammered, “Y-yes, you… you are the Islander, right?”
Ji Chen looked at the tall and beautiful female player in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
He hadn’t expected I_Love_Black_Stockings to be a woman.
Being able to survive in the harsh environment of King Kong Island and develop well demonstrated her abilities.
As for her forum name…
Ji Chen openly looked at her long legs in black stockings.
Hmm, it does fit, he was certain that he hadn’t mistaken the person.
“My forum name is the Islander. As soon as the deal was confirmed, 1 hurriedly made my way here. 1 presume you have the items ready.” Ji Chen said.
“I have them prepared!” I_Love_Black_Stockings suddenly exclaimed excitedly, startling Ji Chen.
Realizing the rudeness of her outburst, I_Love_Black_Stockings suddenly felt embarra.s.sed, and her toes clenched tightly, almost as if she could have left deep marks on the floor.
She cursed herself inwardly.
That was so embarra.s.sing just now!
Seeing her awkward expression, Ji Chen smiled kindly and said, “I’m not some kind of monster who eats people. There’s no need to be so nervous.”
I_Love_Black_Stockings forced a smile. “I was just too excited to meet you, the big shot. I couldn’t control my voice…”
“Hmm…” Ji Chen let the topic pa.s.s and smiled, “If 1 hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, 1 wouldn’t have believed that the owner of a forum name like yours is a female player.”
“When I first joined the forum, I randomly chose this name on a whim, but I didn’t expect that it couldn’t be changed…”
I_Love_Black_Stockings scratched her head somewhat embarra.s.sedly and curiously asked, “Then, how did you come up with your forum name, Islander? Islander… did the Islander really descend on an island from the beginning?”
Ji Chen nodded without denying it.
Seeing this, I_Love_Black_Stockings became even more astonished. She had wanted to ask how he had obtained so many wars.h.i.+ps, but seeing that Ji Chen didn’t seem willing to talk about it, she suppressed her curiosity.
Being able to develop from nothing to so many wars.h.i.+ps in just over a month on an island was definitely an extraordinary experience.
Currently, the most powerful player on King Kong Island only possessed two three-masted wars.h.i.+ps and one two-masted merchant s.h.i.+p, a far cry from the Islander.
Ji Chen looked around and said appreciatively, “Your territory seems to have developed quite well.”
“It has already reached level four village and has a prosperity of over four thousand. It’s considered good on King Kong Island.”
Upon hearing this, l_Love_Black_Stockings’ eyes instantly lit up. With this amount of gold, she could not only solve the immediate food problem but also repair the s.h.i.+ps and go fis.h.i.+ng at sea again. She could also exchange resources with other players and recruit units.
Ji Chen casually ordered two Naga warriors to move a wooden crate and placed it on the ground towards I_Love_Black_Stockings, completely confident that she would deliver the military recruitment core units.
I_Love_Black_Stockings, upon seeing Ji Chen directly giving her the money, felt a great sense of goodwill and quickly took out a wooden box.
Ji Chen controlled the seawater to condense into a pair of water hands. With a slight wave, the water hands deftly opened the box, revealing the military recruitment core units for the Self-Detonating Water Spider and the Lobster Rider.
There were five cores for the former and six for the latter.
It was exactly the agreed-upon quant.i.ty.
He checked the recruitment quota for the two units.
[Water Spider Nest]
[Tier]: Tier 1, 3 Stars
[Recruitable Unit Type]: Self-Detonating Water Spider (Tier 1, 3 Stars)
[Weekly Recruitment Limit]: 35
[Current Recruitment Count]: 35
[Recruitment Cost]: 10 units of wood, 10 units of fiber, 10 units of clay
[Lobster Rider Camp]
[Tier]: Tier 2,1 Star
[Recruitable Unit Type]: Lobster Rider (Tier 2,1 Star)
[Weekly Recruitment Limit]: 14
[Current Recruitment Count]: 21
[Recruitment Cost]: 25 units of wood, 25 units of fiber, 25 units of clay
A Water Spider Nest could recruit 35 units per week, so five nests equaled 175 units.
For a consumable item like this, the quant.i.ty wasn’t much, but if utilized properly after advancing, it might bring unexpected results.
A Lobster Rider Camp could recruit 14 units per week, so six camps equaled 84 units. If developed as the main military unit, this production was acceptable.
As Ji Chen contemplated, I_Love_Black_Stockings looked at Ji Chen, who controlled water with his hands, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
She shouted in her mind.
This ability is so cool!!
In addition to his ability to condense water hands to replace his own, just the mere act of creating a water staircase between the s.h.i.+p’s side and the dock was sufficient to astonish and bewilder others.
It’s both cool and practical, the ultimate tool for showing off!!
If she could possess this ability, she would be willing to give up everything!!
