Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls-Chapter 483 - 261: Preparing to Set Sail, the Death of Hua Yu

Chapter 483: Chapter 261: Preparing to Set Sail, the Death of Hua Yu

"Zhang Wangyue?"

Zhong Hua pondered for a moment, then spoke softly, "He should be a very famous genius captain among your Outer Realm Captains, right? I’ve heard a thing or two about his great reputation."

"And you said the intelligence system is gone?"

"Ahem... So, little brother, do you need me to find Zhang Wangyue’s location?"

"Yes."

Fang Yu spoke softly, "Find his location, but don’t alert him. I need to go find him personally."

"Alright, that’s a minor issue. With such a big reputation, gathering intelligence isn’t difficult. It’s a small matter."

Zhong Hua said with a smile to Fang Yu.

"Additionally."

Fang Yu glanced at Zhong Hua, then lowered his voice, speaking quietly, "Mr. Zhong, help me look into something else."

"What?"

Zhong Hua was taken aback.

"Peacekeeping Council!"

Fang Yu gazed at Zhong Hua, pronouncing each word deliberately, his eyes serious.

"Peacekeeping Council?!"

Zhong Hua’s pupils contracted sharply, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

After a moment, Zhong Hua gritted his teeth, leaned over to Fang Yu, and spoke softly, "Little brother, this isn’t simple. Zhang Wangyue is one thing, but the depths of the Peacekeeping Council are profound. One misstep, and you might find yourself in trouble."

"However..."

Zhong Hua gritted his teeth, "Previously, you helped me rise, so I owe you. I should return the favor."

"Here’s the deal, I’ll help investigate, but only to a certain extent. If I sense danger, I’ll stop. How about it?"

"Agreed! Mr. Zhong, that’s enough!"

... 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Immediately, Fang Yu and Zhong Hua discussed quietly in hushed tones, finalizing the matter. Fang Yu then pushed open the door, intending to introduce Yun Qiqian to Zhong Hua, facilitating connections and thoroughly securing Yun Qiqian as a contact.

But when Fang Yu opened the door, he heard Yun Qiqian outside, conversing happily with several members of the Viper Commerce Association.

"Is the scholar looking to expand the market, and push theological modifications out to earn expansion fees for the Theological Research Institute?"

"Indeed, but I’m quite ignorant about market and commerce, so I’m here with Brother Fang Yu to learn."

"Easy!"

That member of the Viper Commerce Association, who seemed to have been a leader in the Lighthouse Association in the past, patted his round belly and spoke with a laugh:

"Business always revolves around two words!"

"Demand!"

"Demand?"

"Exactly. To sell your product, you need to ensure others need it to succeed, right?"

Yun Qiqian nodded and took out paper and pen to start recording.

"Quite sensible, continue!"

"But many people actually have no demand for your product, so we must learn to create demand."

"How to create demand?"

"Simple!"

The leader of the Viper Commerce Association chuckled, then pointed towards the East Ring Sea Region: "Look, because of the existence of the Sin Domain Alchemist, there is demand for theological modifications. Thus, our Theological Modification Shop’s business is booming, making a big profit."

"However, this won’t last long. The demand will vanish along with the disappearance of the Divine Hall Alliance Army, so... scholar, you need to take some action to maintain this demand."

"Like?" Yun Qiqian listened with interest, diligently recording.

"I remember the Theological Research Institute has a certain weapon called Faith Suppression, right?"

"Once used, it can suppress the energy level of seafarers from a perspective of idealism, which even enchanted shields cannot withstand, only theological modification shields can resist."

"You see, by giving us the distribution rights of this weapon, we can sell it to the Pirate Alliance. Then, everywhere pirates will be using this thing to plunder, and everyone will be frightened, compelled to modify their ships theologically before daring to venture to sea."

"Do you see, demand arises like this?"

"Like this, not only can you sell theological weapons to pirates, but also theological modifications to seafarers, benefiting from both ends. Why worry about expanding your business?"

"Isn’t this... wrong? Isn’t this harmful?"

"Let me ask you, after a ship undergoes theological modifications, will it still fear Faith Suppression?"

"Uh... no."

"Precisely! Once a theological shield is installed, Faith Suppression won’t threaten seafarers. An issue without a threat can hardly be called harmful, right?"

"Uh..."

Yun Qiqian was a bit bewildered, feeling his mind was spinning, instinctively wanting to nod.

Fang Yu could no longer contain himself.

Without a word, he grabbed Yun Qiqian’s notebook, tore it into pieces, then glared at the leader of the Viper Commerce Association, dragging the contemplative Yun Qiqian away from the Viper Commerce Association.

Damn it, good thing we came out early. If we’d been a few minutes late, Yun Qiqian might have even lost his underwear from being hoodwinked.

These businessmen with a gang background are up to no good, full of crooked ideas.

Yun Qiqian can’t cooperate with the Viper Commerce Association; Fang Yu is really worried about a day when pirates with theological weapons are seen rampaging around.

If the simple Yun Qiqian stays too long with these gang leaders, he might be led astray.

Better to introduce him to Mr. Lu; this Viper Commerce Association is utterly unreliable.

...

After introducing Yun Qiqian to Mr. Lu, Fang Yu prepared to sail his ship out of the Safe Sea Region to summon a black market freighter and learn spatial-based Extraordinary Abilities.

However, when he returned to the Salted Fish, he saw Mr. Wang squatting intently, engrossed in inscribing new alchemical seal patterns on his ship.

Seeing this, Fang Yu was startled and quickly pulled over Ma to ask, "Ma, what’s Mr. Wang doing? I didn’t ask him to enchant anything."
