Beauty and the Bodyguard

Let's start the competition before explaining the rules. We'll come back after you finish, right?

He Hao didn't care what they were thinking. After he finished speaking, someone from the association ran to the center of the semicircle, put down a circular formation disk, and started to stimulate.

Lin Yi took a quick look and couldn't help but nod secretly. This was a nine-level magic array disk. It seemed to be quite old. It should be a good thing passed down from the past. No wonder it could support virtual trade competitions.

After the ninth-level magic array was activated, it began to emit a faint seven-color light, which soon enveloped the people of the twenty fleets, but the platform was not affected.

Behind the seats of the twenty fleets, twenty water curtains appeared out of thin air, showing different scenes, which should be what they will experience after entering the illusion array. Because the proportion of time is completely different, the screen flashes It was so fast that ordinary people couldn't see what was going on, but He Hao's eyes were shining with interest, and he was cruising around on the twenty-sided water curtain from time to time. He was obviously able to grasp the situation of all fleets at the same time and After analysis, this skill alone makes him worthy of being the vice president of the Huangjie Sea Area Waterway Management Association. He is indeed a worthy person despite his great reputation!

On the other side, Lin Yi, Okudaba and others did not resist, so they were easily pulled into the illusion. They did not even feel anything strange, and they had already appeared on a port terminal.

"This is our base! It looks pretty good." Okudaba looked around and nodded slightly. He was not satisfied or dissatisfied. It is estimated that the twenty fleets got about the same amount.

"Captain, your fleet supplies have been completed. Do you want to purchase goods for shipment?" A lean man with a goatee came to Okudaba and greeted him respectfully.

Okudaba, Lin Yi and others naturally knew the identity of this person. He was the financial manager of the port terminal, and theoretically he was also one of Okudaba's subordinates.

"Manager Jin, please tell us about the situation at the port first. I haven't paid much attention to it recently. Are there any changes?" Lin Yi smiled slightly. He didn't care about the goods, but first inquired about the situation in his base area.

"Yes, Vice Captain! The situation in Okuda Port is now good. The maintenance of the defensive formation and attack formation has been completed. It can fight against two fleets with the same combat power as our fleet, but there is still room for upgrade and optimization. It is just what is needed. The cost will be relatively high, so it is not necessary for the time being." The financial manager started with the defense of the port, and Okudaba and Lin Yi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to fight against two fleets can ensure that the home base will not be captured at least in a short period of time. If other fleets unite, they may have the capital to continue to improve their strength.

"The specialty product in Hong Kong is exquisite fish bones, so the price is relatively stable. With the captain's current funds, he can fill up two and a half treasure ships. In the spare warehouse, he can also store more food and water. The information on nearby ports is still there. If the captain wants to know, he can arrange for someone to go there to spy on the information, and then decide where to go." Manager Jin introduced it businesslikely, giving Lin Yi and others a general understanding.

"Brother Okuda, what are your plans now?" Lin Yi turned to look at Okudaba. This is the situation. Next, we will see what strategy Okudaba adopts.

The best option is to immediately find other fleets to form an alliance. If they join forces vertically and horizontally, they can at least ensure that they will not be easily killed.

But Okudaba is not familiar with other fleets, and if he rushes to ask for an alliance, he might be sold by others. After all, everyone is a competitor. Without friendship, who can guarantee that you will not stab you in the back?

There are two other options. One is to use war to support war. The start-up funds are completely invested in the war and then develop and grow during the war. The other is to engage in trade honestly and exchange speed for victory. One year The time may seem long, but in fact, it is not too long when it comes to sailing. Maybe it will be almost over after visiting twenty ports.

"Brother Lin, do you have any suggestions?" Okudaba rubbed his forehead. He couldn't make a choice for a while, but he knew that the moderate choice was definitely hopeless. This project can be said to be quite fair and extremely beneficial to him. It's beneficial. If you still can't get good results, the subsequent competitions will only become more and more difficult.

"I think normal trade is definitely not possible!" Lin Yi saw clearly. After a brief pause, he looked at Manager Jin: "Manager Jin, are there any extra ships that can be purchased at the port?"

Okudaba was startled for a moment, and then he understood what Lin Yi meant. The start-up funds are not necessarily used to purchase goods, but can also be used to enhance the strength of the fleet. Direct purchase of ships is the best way.

"Well, there happens to be a large warship, but it is not a new ship, but a dilapidated warship that was towed back from outside. It was renovated and repaired and then re-launched. It was originally planned to be sold to other ports. If the captain and deputy captain need it, it can be Bought it." Manager Jin directly gave the answer Lin Yi wanted without blinking an eye.

Sure enough, start-up funds can not only be used to buy goods, but can also be used for arms races!

"Go and have a look!" Okudaba and Lin Yi looked at each other and made a decision immediately.

Anyway, this is an option!

The refurbished large battleship is in good condition, at least it can guarantee combat effectiveness, but the price is not cheap. It requires 700,000 spirit jade, and installment payments are not accepted.

Okuda Dam simply used a treasure ship and 100,000 spiritual jade to exchange for this renovated large warship. Of course, this price is only available in the fantasy world. Where can you buy it so cheaply in the real world? battleship?

Buying the battleship is equivalent to deciding the future strategy. There is nothing to consider next. Okuda Dam divided the remaining spiritual jade into two halves, bought half of it for a boat of exquisite fish bones, and kept the other half as a reserve. , and then took everyone on board and set sail.

Inside the bridge, Okudaba and Lin Yi are studying the charts that come with the battleship. The flagships here are all arranged ancient battleships, so there are no problems with their use.

"The locations of the twenty ports are all marked, but I don't know which fleet is occupying these ports. There are ports in three directions around us, and the distances are similar. There is actually no difference in choosing any one." Okuda Dam Pointing at the chart, they found that the port they were going to was relatively close to Okuda Port, but the distance was limited. If the fleets from the other two ports set off to Okuda Port at the same time, everyone would arrive at their destination at about the same time. .
