Chapter 10: Popularity (Part II)

The popularity began.

In a certain port, the eyes of two ordinary NPCs suddenly became bright, and one of them said mysteriously, "You know? Plymouth began to collect woollen fabrics at high prices. ”

"I've also heard that if you can transport a ship over now, the cost can be ten times higher immediately!" Another NPC was not willing to be lonely, adding on the side.

"Well, it's going to be fast, it's going to be too late."

"Hey, it's a pity that there is no boat, if I can make a trip, I won't have to worry about it for the rest of my life."

Similar scenarios were played out in various ports in the UK, and smart players quickly saw the business opportunities, and the popular event began to spread among players.

"Go, I know where the woollen fabric is."

"I have a boat."

"I know where Plymouth is."

Some things are not difficult to guess, and often several people come up with a ready-made cooperation plan as soon as they sum it up.

Spurred on by the popular event, hundreds of players put down their work, switched to cotton fabrics, and headed for Plymouth.

This group of people are the top players in the UK, and they also know in their hearts that if anyone can eat this bite of cake, they can go ahead of others.

The so-called step by step lead, the advantage can also be like a snowball.

Wang Hao, who was thousands of miles away, couldn't imagine the fiery excitement in everyone's hearts, because Plymouth was already in sight.

If there is no suspense, what is there to be excited about?

Coming out of the dock, Wang Hao went straight to the exchange.

System: You sell a unit of woollen fabric for a total of 1,500 copper coins, deducting 300 copper coins from taxes, and the actual income is 1,200 copper coins.

System: The income from this trade is 1050 copper coins, which translates into 1050 trade experience points.

Looking at the sudden extra twelve silver coins in the baggage, Wang Hao's face couldn't help but show a knowing smile, and then he heard a congratulatory voice from the system, and the trade level increased.

Unexpectedly, the trade level was the first of the three levels, and he originally thought that the first to upgrade must be sailing?

System: You have entered the rank leaderboard, whether or not your name is public.

There are also domestic and global rankings, which in this case definitely refers to the UK Player Leaderboard.

Being so swaggering in a foreign country is purely looking for death, Wang Hao will not be in this limelight, except for some fame, there is no actual benefit.

In this game, only the three levels of navigation, trade, and combat are upgraded by one level at the same time, and one surname point can be obtained, and two skill points can only be obtained by upgrading five levels, so it is useless to trade alone to upgrade.

This is not a big deal, and the system will not announce anything, but there are always a few players who are not doing their jobs, and after seeing the information that the leaderboard is refreshed, the news is quickly spread.

"Damn, someone upgraded so quickly, and I didn't even see the shadow of the ship?"

"Drooling, I don't know how much money that person makes?"

"If only I could rob it."

"Do you know who the other person is?"

“”

The players in the port can only stare dryly, and after some complaints, what should they do.

However, the players on the sea got the news from their friends, and many people guessed the reason, and couldn't help but curse the lucky boy with envy on their faces, and at the same time, the heat in their hearts was also exuberant.

Hurry up, hurry up, I'll be the next one on the list.

Many captains said this to themselves, and this urgency was especially obvious to the players of the Grand Guild, and this opportunity to expand their influence was not to be missed.

In particular, the heads of some large guilds were even more anxious, asking around for news about the person on the list, and it didn't take long for these people to come to a conclusion that they were not from their circle, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to find out.

Only the lieutenant in the Knights of the Round Table, after seeing this information, thought of the Asian he had met at the Helen Harbor Exchange, and had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't say it, after all, it was just his conjecture, and he couldn't do it accurately.

---

Now Wang Hao can be regarded as wealthy, others even have to spend their fingers on copper plates, and even coins in his baggage have broken through single digits, if this is spread out, I don't know how much saliva will be squirted.

Walking into the dock, Wang Hao looked at the format warships discharged there, and they were only drooling, even if it was the cheapest small row-row sailboat, it would take a gold coin to be able to win.

Seeing that he hadn't forgotten what was going on, he found an old shipwright inside and asked for a renovation.

Sloops

Base Attack: 5

Maximum number of sailors: 5

Cargo storage capacity: 1 (unit: cubic meters)

Gun emplacement: 1

Extended Positions: 1

Sail position: 1

Plate paddle position: 1

Durability: 80

Propulsion: 60

There are many types of ship modifications, some to strengthen armor, some to increase speed, and some to strengthen basic attacks, like this upgrade can be done for a certain amount of money, and the upper limit of each transformation is ten levels.

In addition, there is a special modification, that is, the expansion position of the ship is developed, and the expansion position can be transformed into a gun position or a cargo position, which depends on which route the captain wants to take.

Those who like to do business and trade naturally give preference to expanding their warehouses, and those who like to fight can also be transformed into gun emplacements, which cannot be modified once selected.

Wang Hao is here to transform the extended position into a gun position, to further enhance the output ability, his main surname is to hit, open one more gun position, and one more attack, which increases the probability of hitting in disguise.

It's just too expensive, even for this lowest-level ship, the cost of special modifications is 5 silver coins.

This time the renovation time took about fifteen minutes, Wang Hao chose to wander around the main port of the United Kingdom, he first went to the tavern to recruit all the sailors, the upper limit of the sailors that the ship can only accommodate is 5 people, plus his own subordinate surname, a total of 6 people can be recruited.

They are all lowest-level sailors, it's not that he doesn't want to recruit higher ranks, it's just that he needs a knighthood to do it, and he only has 100 national contribution points for completing national tasks so far, and it's too early to think about this.

Coming out of the tavern, Wang Hao walked into the armory without stopping, where he could buy the equipment needed on the ship.

Plymouth is one of the four main ports of the United Kingdom, all kinds of equipment are dazzling, even cannons are sold, although it is a tabula rasa, but the power is much greater than this catapult and ballista.

It's a pity that Wang Hao can only watch it and enjoy it, not to mention the price of cannons, even if he can buy them, he can't use them, you must know that heavy weapons such as cannons can only be loaded on ships above the second order, and the novice ship is a zero-order ship, so he doesn't even have to think about it.

Wang Hao values a medium-sized catapult, although it is a tabula rasa, its attack is higher than that of a green ballista.

Medium Catapult (Normal): Range 250 yards, +10 projectile power, -1 hit

Compared to small catapults, its range and power have been increased to a certain extent, and as for the suffix hit -1, it is a common problem with all catapults.

For this alone, another 5 silver coins were spent, which made Wang Hao have to dispel the idea of continuing to buy armor plates.

The money in hand came and went quickly, but Wang Hao was not worried at all.

Because, the show has just begun!

ps: Continue to cry for collection, recommended.
