Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Ji Clan Trading Association D-level Captain
"Buzz!"
The ship sailed through the Safe Sea Region and soon entered Qiyun Port.
This time, Fang Yu did not dock at the Ji Clan Trading Association’s harbor, but instead directly anchored in the public sea area.
After disembarking, Fang Yu ordered some crew members to stay on the ship for duty, while others could take leave and move around freely.
As for himself, he held the documents in his hand and headed towards Lu Kun’s home.
However, halfway on the road, two men in suits emerged from the side of the road, set their sights on Fang Yu, and then spoke:
"Are you Captain Fang Yu? Could we have a word in private?"
Fang Yu looked at these two men and shook his head, saying, "Just say your purpose directly."
The two men glanced at the document in Fang Yu’s hand and then smiled, "We are with the Vice President, who knows about your conflict with Wang Chen. He sent us to have a chat with you."
"How about turning a major issue into a minor one, and a minor one into nothing?"
"The Vice President is willing to offer 200 honor points from the Ji Clan Trading Association and three hundred Gold Coins in exchange for the document in your hand. After that, we can go our separate ways."
"So, you are with the Vice President?"
Fang Yu glanced at the two and smiled, "This Lighthouse Association attack was orchestrated by the Vice President, wasn’t it?"
The two slightly frowned and shook their heads, "Mr. Fang, discussing this now is pointless. The Vice President is a businessman who wants to solve this matter in a business-like manner with you."
"You give us the document, and we’ll give you points and Gold Coins. It’s a win-win situation, why not do it?"
Fang Yu sneered, looking at the two, and spoke word by word, "Go back and tell the Vice President, Wang Chen is done for, no one can save him. As for the Vice President, he should be careful too."
"Walking too much at night, it’s easy to trip."
Fang Yu spoke in a low voice, causing the two to furrow their brows even more:
"Captain Fang, the project Wang Chen is handling now is very important, you..."
"I don’t give a damn."
Fang Yu couldn’t be bothered with the two and turned away to leave.
When the two attempted to stop Fang Yu again, they were immediately intimidated by his glance, retreating two steps, not daring to continue entangling with Fang Yu.
As Fang Yu’s energy level increased, it was equivalent to the enhancement of his life level.
A cold stare from him could easily intimidate ordinary people without much energy level.
Ignoring the two, Fang Yu continued on his way, and soon arrived at Lu Kun’s home, handing the document to Lu Kun.
Of course, Fang Yu had also made a backup of the document himself.
How could he not prepare for both sides when he risked his life to get this?
"Little brother, did you get it so quickly?!"
Lu Kun was quite surprised, looking Fang Yu up and down, slightly astonished.
Then, a very pleased expression appeared on his face, and he chuckled, saying to Fang Yu, "Just wait, I’ve already smoothed the connections in the past two days. With this evidence, I will definitely get Wang Chen imprisoned."
"Just go home and wait for the notice. I’ll inform you on the day of the trial!"
Lu Kun was very happy, laughing heartily.
"Task Completed [Collect Evidence], Everyone receives 600 experience points, and a monetary reward of 1000 Copper Coins."
"Captain receives 5 honor points from Ji Clan Trading Association."
"Honor points of Ji Clan Trading Association have reached the required level, Captain Fang Yu promoted to D-level cooperating Captain of Ji Clan Trading Association."
Promoted to D-level cooperating Captain?
Doesn’t this mean that the rewards and money for future Ji Clan Trading Association tasks will increase accordingly?
Fang Yu felt a sense of joy internally, then said to Lu Kun:
"Alright, Mr. Lu, these days you help me get a passage permit for Sea Ore Island; I plan to make another trip there."
Fang Yu casually picked up some dried fruit from Lu Kun’s house, stuffed it into his mouth, and said to Lu Kun.
"Is it that rushed? Not staying for a couple more days?" Lu Kun was startled.
"I need money desperately!"
Fang Yu spread his hands.
Previously, his power level had not been raised, and no matter what task he did, the rewards were average.
Moreover, tasks are not like trading.
Tasks offer a reward to all, but not a monetary reward for goods.
Previously, Fang Yu could earn several hundred thousand by transporting once from Sea Ore, but now, doing two tasks yields only...
A few thousand?
It’s like giving alms!
If it was just a need for experience, then doing tasks wouldn’t matter.
But now Fang Yu has to spend money on everything, and he’s already at the extreme end of being short on cash, naturally wanting to earn quickly.
"Alright, I’ll apply for a passage permit to Sea Ore Island with the association in the next couple of days, and I’ll give it to you once approved!"
Lu Kun nodded and said to Fang Yu.
"Alright, waiting for your good news!"
...
The trial process for Wang Chen wasn’t that fast.
Submitting evidence, determining culpability, the Ocean Court session, etc., all required some time to follow through the procedures.
Fang Yu was in no hurry; as long as the evidence was there, he didn’t believe Wang Chen could escape.
In this world, the Ocean Court’s composition is very unique, formed by multiple countries together, with 3-5 internal inspection departments, very strict, Fang Yu didn’t worry that the Vice President could pull strings.
No one could pull strings with the Ocean Court.
Even if someone could, it’s not within the Ji Clan Trading Association’s level to accomplish it.
Fang Yu was confident, and then he patiently waited for the passage permit approved by Lu Kun, so he could continue another trip to Sea Ore and earn richer rewards.
...
After leaving Lu Kun’s house, Fang Yu found a secluded corner and casually tossed a dice.
1...
Alright... when it rains, it pours. Already short on money, and the dice gives me a bad streak.
Damn...
Fang Yu shook his head and had no choice but to pawn some of his assets, selling off some surplus gear and unused items, such as the Alchemy义眼 and extra Ship Repair Scrolls, all at once to Fu Cheng Peng.
Selling everything, Fang Yu managed to gather a total of 600,000 Copper Coins from Cheng Peng.
This allowed Fang Yu, who was preparing to tighten his belt, to breathe a little easier.
With some money on hand, Fang Yu felt a bit more confident.
He proceeded forward, having previously listened to Cheng Peng’s advice and learned the importance of power levels and points, Fang Yu now planned to visit Wang Xiaohu at the Ocean Court Office.
On one hand, he intended to contact Wang Xiaohu for connections to enlist in classes and continue training.
On the other, he was also preparing to establish rapport with Wang Xiaohu and see if he could navigate the power structure within the Ocean Court.
Though the power level of Ji Clan Trading Association is crucial, it’s still significantly below the level of the Ocean Court.
One is a world-class power, the other a local level power; which power’s level is more important to enhance needs no further explanation.
As Fang Yu arrived at the Ocean Court Office, he saw a group of Blue Star Captains waiting at the entrance, eagerly stretching their necks, peering into the office.
What’s going on?
Fang Yu was stunned.
At this moment, a nearby voice rang out in excitement: "It’s you! You bought my Ocean Court points before, and now I’ve changed my mind. I’ll refund your money if you give me back the points!"
