Ji Chen looked at his rank again.

It's only level 15...

It's very shabby to look at.

Alas, it still has to be done step by step.

Ji Chen looked at the resources piled up everywhere in the cave, and finally a smile appeared on his face.

Although the process was quite bumpy and bumpy, the results were good.

Not only did he kill the pirate leader Robert, but he also succeeded in finding these rare resources.

Kill two birds with one stone!

After this time, several other groups of armies also basically controlled the pirate boss, and a large number of remaining pirates chose to surrender after hearing that Robert was dead.

Seven three-masted pirate ships in the harbor also fell into his hands.

The pirate ships were fully loaded with artillery and in good condition and ready for use at any time.

Ji Chen kept a part of the army down to guard the surrendered pirates and stored resources in various parts of the cave.

I'm going to walk into the secret passage opened by Robert.

The dark passage is not big, one person is high, and the width can only accommodate two people at the same time, and a person of the size of a Naga warrior can't squeeze in even if he lowers his head.

Seeing this, Ji Chen could only reluctantly let the Naga warriors stay, and walked in with the smaller dragonblood fishman.

More than ten minutes later.

They came to a hidden fjord.

On the edge of the simple pier in the river bay was a three-masted warship.

This is supposed to be the last boat that Robert used to escape.

Shifting his gaze, Ji Chen began to observe his surroundings.

The bay is surrounded by steep cliffs with leafy trees on top of it.

The canopy of the trees was artificially tied together with ropes, and the lush foliage almost completely obscured the sky, and not even the slightest moonlight could penetrate it.

The front of the fjord is obscured by vegetation, and the decoration is exquisite.

Even if a ship passed by, it would never be possible to see that there was a fjord behind it, and there was a ship hidden inside.

But apparently, Robert no longer needs this ship, and has gone directly on the ship to heaven.

Ji Chen's mood improved.

The harvest of this trip was not just the seven pirate ships parked in the harbor in front of them, but also this one, which added up to a total of eight.

Get eight serious warships at one time, this wave is simply blood gain!

Earn a cerebral hemorrhage!

Ji Chen left a few dragonblood fishmen to guard the ship, and turned around and followed the secret passage back to the cave.

With a wave of his hand, he collected the scattered Mithril and Adamantite gold on the ground one by one.

"Ding~ You got 7,000 units of Mithril."

"Ding~ You get 5,000 units of Adamantite."

It seems that this is the rare resource that the Black Skull Pirate Group stole from that treasure ship, a total of 12,000 rare resources, which is not bad.

This resource can be used as material for the next Class Tech Tree upgrade.

On the other side of the cave, there are large wooden boxes.

Ji Chen motioned for several Naga warriors to step forward, inserted a sharp bone blade into the gap of the wooden box, and forcibly pried open the lid of the nailed box.

A steel scimitar with a handle and a refined iron crossbow were revealed.

Looking at these weapons, Ji Chen was thoughtful.

【Steel scimitar】

[Effect]: 1 Increases slash speed 2 Enhances armor piercing ability

...

【Steel Crossbow】

[Effect]: 1 Increases penetration ability, 2 Increases armor piercing ability

In general, except in rare cases, the rank of a class cannot be changed.

However, human and human units can improve their combat effectiveness by changing weapons.

For example, a wooden spear is replaced with an iron spear, and a hunting bow is replaced by a hard bow.

A second-order 4-star human class like the Elite Pirate would be much more effective if it could be replaced with better weapons.

For now, there were enough scimitars and crossbows to equip all the pirates under his command.

With a wave of his hand, the army began to move these weapons out of the cave and stack them on the harbor.

He had already called for the Crescent, which was swimming outside the archipelago, and the Tidal Sea Spirit was driving the Crescent at full speed, ready to load and unload the loot here.

In addition to a batch of rare resources and these weapons, Robert also put a batch of architectural drawings here.

The thick stacks were stacked.

Ji Chen picked them up casually and flipped through them roughly.

Although there are no extremely rare drawings, most of them are very practical buildings, such as ordinary lighthouses, high-class houses, small ports, breweries, wine cellars, blacksmith shops, etc.

Many of them are still buildings that are not available in the crown of the ocean now.

Ji Chen naturally laughed at them all.

With these blueprints, the Crown of the Ocean will be even more prosperous in terms of architecture.

There are also boxes of jewelry, shiny and conspicuous, which may be transported to a nearby island with an indigenous settlement and sold for some resources.

I've heard from other pirates that Robert has also buried some resources in several places outside the island.

But alas, no one knows that it is hidden there except himself.

Ji Chen had to sigh secretly and regretfully.

Looking around, there doesn't seem to be anything worth noting.

He walked out of the cave with his hands in his hands and went to the harbor to get some air.

The moon is in the sky, and the sea breeze is blowing.

The sea was calm.

In the distance, the massive hull silhouette of the Crescent emerged from a distance, slowly stopping in the ship's berth.

The cargo entrance to the ship's side automatically opened, the drawbridge fell, and the Naga warriors began to carry supplies into the ship's hold.

"Rush Erba, you take the dragonblood fish people to several nearby islands, clean up all the remaining pirates on them, bring back those who are willing to surrender, and kill those who resist directly."

Rushing Erba nodded in agreement, jumped into the sea with dozens of dragon-blooded fishmen, and quickly swam towards the island not far away.

"You bring all the pirates on this island to the port."

Ji Chen looked at Anina who was standing on the side again.

The latter also nodded quickly, and ran into the cave with the big sword on his shoulder.

Soon after, hundreds of pirates were driven out of the cave like pigs.

One by one, the pirates crouched on the ground in despair, their hearts filled with dazedness and fear.

Ji Chen looked at them like this, but he didn't have any thoughts of comfort.

The reason he left the pirates alive was to subdue them so that he would have enough men to drive the eight pirate ships back.

So I went straight to the road.

"If you surrender to me, then spare your life, or die."

Hearing this, the pirate gate's eyes suddenly ignited with a desire for life, and he hurriedly agreed.

There was not a trace of desire to avenge Robert at all.

He followed him only because he had gold to earn and meat to eat.

As a pirate, don't expect any loyalty and faith qualities from them.

Now that the leader is dead, it is natural that they will fly separately when the disaster comes, and if they can't fly, then find a new leader.

"Ding~ You have subdued 1,250 pirates."

Seeing the system prompt, Ji Chen nodded.

Wait for the rush to come back.

In the middle of the night, they returned with a shipload of pirates stationed on other islands.

Ji Chen repeated his previous words.

There was no accident, and they decisively chose to bow their heads with a strong desire to survive.

"Ding~ You have subdued 250 pirates."

Since then, he has subdued a total of 1,500 pirates here, adding to the previous 270 to 1,770.

Although their rank and combat power are low, they are superior in number enough to be able to carry many ships in the crown of the sea.

It takes a lot of time to move the materials.

Looking at the night, Ji Chen stretched his waist and returned to the Crescent Moon to rest.

The massive hull brings a spacious and comfortable room that makes him feel like resting on land.

Before going to bed, Ji Chen suddenly remembered something.

In addition to crusading against this pirate lair, he also wanted to go out and trade with other players.

And the content of the transaction is the core of the class recruitment battalion.

For a long time, the number of recruiting camp cores he got was not too many, and there were only about a dozen or so when he was full.

The consequence of the low number of recruits in the core of the battalion is that the number of recruits per week is small, and the number of troops grows slowly.

Only a dozen or twenty can be recruited a week.

If you want to build an army of 100 people, it will take at least 7 weeks!

At first, he thought it was okay, but now he has been through so much.

Hunted down by tens of thousands of blood warriors, you will have to defend against an incalculable number of pirates against a four-figure pirate.

made Ji Chen feel that his troops were not enough in an instant.

Four fists are hard to beat with both hands.

Twice as many enemies as they were, he had absolute confidence to win.

Five times as many enemies he also felt able to fight.

Ten times as many enemies as Alice and the others would not be impossible to win if they were to fight.

What if it's fifty times, a hundred times?

There are a billion players who have entered this world, and there should be millions of islands on the coast of the West and the Middle Ocean.

In such a large group of players, there must be someone who has a core of the class recruitment camp that he is satisfied with.

Ji Chen casually opened the forum, thought about it, and posted a post in the name of the lonely islander.

"If you want to buy the core of the marine arms and amphibious arms recruitment battalion, you can trade gold coins and rare resources, and the trading location is limited to the West and the Middle Ocean."

On the chat channels and forums, there are countless posts like this, of course, not only for the core of the recruitment camp, but also for some kind of resource, some kind of treasure and so on.

After all, there is no trading system, exchange, etc., and players can only find what they want in this inefficient way.

This is also limited by geographical distance, which is especially evident on the oceans, which can often take days to sail.

After Ji Chen posted the post, he just thought about waiting until tomorrow to see if anyone responded.

But before I could close it, the posts began to refresh like crazy.

"The Lonely Island Boss is cheating the corpse!"

"The big guy hasn't slept so late, there's a reason why he's so strong, and he's still working hard and struggling at this point!"

Ji Chen looked at the speeches of these night owl netizens, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Don't you just blow water? Can you answer the content of the post seriously!

After a bit of bragging, someone finally found out about the subject of this post.

"Buying the core of the recruiting camp? I have a few first-order ones here that I haven't had time to use, but you may not like it, big guy..."

"I think so too, the arms of the lonely island boss are estimated to be second- and third-order, and the first-order should not be looked down upon."

Seeing this, Ji Chen's eyes narrowed.

As long as the class is suitable, what about the first-order?

He's a man with a class tech tree! Even if he was once a first-order spicy chicken water elf, he was forcibly promoted to the height of the third order.

His initial class, the River Fishman, has now become a fourth-order 3-star Dragonblood Fishman.

And the highest-level fish-man class currently known, the fanatic fish-man, is only a third-order 4-star at most.

I really don't know if the Dragonblood Fish-Man evolves to the fifth-order, sixth-order, or even the supreme seventh-order class in the future.

How shocked will those players be?

This scene is like a person who was originally recognized as having an intellectual level that could only go to elementary school, and many years later suddenly learned that he had been admitted to a world-famous university.

"Regardless of the rank, as long as it suits me, I will accept it, and the more cores in the recruitment camp, the better."

Ji Chen added a sentence in the post and pinned it to the top.

Soon players began to apply for private chat to show off the core of the recruiting camp they had.

And all of them are some marine, amphibious arms.

Sharp-billed flying fish - 5 stars of the first order, the number of 4.

Floating Cancer - 7 stars of the first order, the number of which is 3.

Shallow sea lizards - 4 stars of the first order, 6 in number.

...

Swamp Fishman - 2nd Order 2 stars, number 4.

Lobster Rider - 2nd Order 1 star, quantity 6.

Toxin Octopus - 2nd Order 3 Stars, Number 2.

There are a wide variety of classes, and there are all ranks.

In addition to the first-order ones, many players also sent the second-order and third-order ones.

But there are mainly second-order ones, and although there are third-order ones, the number of cores is basically only one, and Ji Chen just took a cursory look at it and ruled it out.

Because the price of the core of the third-order class recruitment battalion is quite outrageous, it seriously deviates from its own value.

Each of them is a four-digit rare resource, a five-digit gold coin, and a few rare architectural drawings.

Do you really treat him as a wronged leader?

With this resource, he can upgrade several second-order troops to the third-order, and he still needs to buy you just one core?

After seeing that several third-order sellers were like this, Ji Chen began to concentrate on looking at the first-order and second-order ones.

Anyway, the lower the tier, the cheaper the price, and the more cores there are.

After some selection, he finally selected two classes that were very suitable and had advanced value.

There is one difference between the first and second orders.

【Self-Detonating Water Spider】

[Race]: Water spider

[Rank]: 3 stars of the first order

[Skill]: Unstable Crystals (White Skill, able to detonate crystals in the body)

Ripple (White skill, 10% increased self-detonation radius)

...

【Lobster Rider】

[Race]: Lobster

[Rank]: 2nd Order: 1 star

[Class Characteristics]: Coordinated Charge (When fighting or charging with the same class, all attributes are increased by 5%)

【Fork out!!】 】

Self-exploding spiders and lobster riders.

On it together
