East China Sea, Black Reef Island, mountain base!

After the [Daming Sailors] came out, Liu Cheng began to have the idea of eagerly wanting to upgrade the [Barracks].

After all, the current level 1 [Barracks] recruitment speed is too slow, [militia] is okay, the recruitment of [pirates] can only be 150 a month, and the [Daming sailors] that have just appeared are even more miserable, only 30 at most in a month.

At this rate, it would take at least a year or two for Liu Cheng to recruit a formed [Daming Sailor] to pretend to be forced, so he had the idea of upgrading the [Barracks].

Of course, he didn't really go to pretend to break, pretending to break or something is secondary, the main thing is that if there is a formed [Daming Water Army], he Liu Chengcheng will be able to completely gain a firm foothold in Beihai.

And upgrading the [barracks] or something is actually very simple, the system does things directly and simply in this aspect, you give it money and it will help you get it, upgrade a [barracks], it's very simple, 2000 gold can be done.

But the problem is that Liu Cheng really didn't have two thousand gold in his hand at this time, it is true that Liu Cheng made a lot of money through [Jinchuang Medicine] in the previous month, but Liu Cheng also spent a lot in the previous month.

First of all, his biggest expense that month was undoubtedly to train that archer, which is currently the most powerful force on Blackreef Island, and it is also the most expensive place.

For those 100 bows and arrows alone, Liu Chengcheng spent 500 gold, plus the consumption of arrows needed for follow-up training, Liu Chengcheng spent about 700 gold on that archer alone.

Of course, in the previous battle, the archers of Blackreef also showed their worth, proving that the money was not spent in vain.

It's just the cultivation of archers, plus some of the daily consumption of Black Reef Island, as well as Liu Cheng's recruitment of system soldiers, and finally being robbed by Fuji Qingshan three times in a row, in fact, Liu Cheng didn't have much money in his hands in the end.

Fortunately, in the end, Liu Cheng successfully took Tan Qingyun and Teng Qingshan, and collected a wave of materials on the side of Black Wind Island, which were worth about a thousand gold.

However, in this case, it seems a little difficult for Liu Cheng to upgrade the [Barracks] or something!

Of course, at this time, if Liu Cheng can take someone to copy the [Qingyan Island], then with Tan Qingyun's family background, it is estimated that it should not be difficult to upgrade the [Barracks].

But at this time, Qingyan Island, if nothing else, should be controlled by the so-called 'man with a thousand faces', and it is estimated that Liu Cheng is not so easy to get it.

Therefore, if Liu Cheng wants to upgrade the [Barracks] at this time, he may have to find another way, and if he really wants to copy the [Qingyan Island], I am afraid that he will have to wait until he understands the situation of the 'Thousand Faces Man'.

However, the problem that Liu Cheng faced at this time was not only the upgrade of the [barracks], but more importantly, in this incident, Black Reef Island, or it should be said that Liu Cheng exposed the problem.

One is the level of understanding of the surrounding environment, as well as the construction of the defense system of Black Reef Island, and the other is the most important point, that is, Liu Cheng is gradually entangled in [refining medicine].

These two things, one led to the surrounding of strong enemies, and some people even touched the situation that Liu CD did not know about Blackreef Island, and the other deeply bound Liu Cheng, so that Liu Cheng was busy with alchemy and couldn't take care of anything else.

The former one is good to say, it's not too late to make amends, but the latter one is a little difficult.

Nowadays, the development of [Black Reef Island] is really inseparable from the refining of [Golden Creation Medicine], and with the continuous development of [Black Reef Island], the required funds will definitely be larger and larger.

If this continues, what Liu Cheng needs to face next is not the problem of being tied up by himself to become an alchemist, but even the sustainable development of the entire alchemy industry that Liu Cheng created at this time will become a problem.

However, Liu Cheng did not notice these problems now, and Liu Chengcheng began to pay attention to this aspect early in the morning.

And it is not the problem that he is most concerned about and feels most urgent to solve so far.

For Liu Cheng, there is only one problem he needs to solve the most, and that is the problem of 'people with a thousand faces'.

Obviously, although he succeeded in taking down Tan Qingyun and Teng Qingshan this time, he hindered the plan of the 'Thousand Faces Man', and Liu Cheng would inevitably face the 'Thousand Faces Man next'.

This is a very important problem that Liu Cheng has to face in front of him, and what Liu Cheng doesn't know is that when he was thinking about the 'thousand-faced man', the 'thousand-faced man' was also setting his sights on Liu Cheng......

………………

East China Sea, Qingyan Island.

Because of this [bluestone] mine, both Tan Qingyun and Teng Qingshan have the meaning of long-term development on this island.

So on Qingyan Island, they built a series of facilities early on, as well as a stockade that can accommodate nearly a thousand people, and even the most humble port, and these things now belong to others.

It's just that the person who took these is not in a very good mood now, this person is none other than the 'thousand-faced man' in Tan Qingyun's mouth.

She is the person behind Teng Qingshan, she is the one who helped Teng Qingshan, took down the seal in advance, and gave Teng Qingshan the information of Black Reef Island, so that Teng Qingshan successfully took Tan Qingyun with Liu Cheng's Black Reef Island as bait.

It's just that although her plan was very successful, Teng Qingshan did take Tan Qingyun, but there was a problem in the closing stage of the plan, and Liu Cheng disrupted her deployment.

Not only did Blackreef Island not be taken in the end, but Fuji Qingshan also died, and now she was in big trouble.

For some reason, she herself couldn't stand on the table, and once she did, she would immediately be hit hard.

Therefore, Fuji Qingshan is a very important chess piece in her hands, she not only needs to use Fuji Qingshan to take down Tan Qingyun to seize [Qingyan Island], but more importantly, she needs to use Fuji Qingshan as a puppet to take care of [Qingyan Island] and help her do something.

And now the puppet she originally prepared was killed, and the island of Blackreef, which was originally going to be taken, was not taken.

For this kind of result, the 'Thousand Faced Man' didn't want to accept it, but since it happened, she had no choice but to try her best to make up for it.

And so far, there is not much she can do, sneaking into Blackreef Island to see if she can take down Liu Cheng is one of the few things she can do at present.

So while Liu Cheng was muttering 'Man with a Thousand Faces', a small boat sailed out of Qingyan Island and headed in the direction of Heijiao Island......
