In a certain port, the eyes of two ordinary NPCs suddenly became bright. One of them said mysteriously: "Did you know? Plymouth has started to collect woolen fabrics at high prices."
"I've also heard that if we can transport a ship now, the cost can be doubled immediately!" Another NPC was not willing to be lonely and added on the side.
"Well, you have to be fast, otherwise you'll be gone if you get there late."
"Hey, it's a pity that there is no boat. If I could just take a trip, I wouldn't have to worry about anything in my life."
Similar scenes were staged in various ports in the UK. Smart players quickly saw the business opportunities, and the popular activity began to spread among players.
"Come on, I know where there are woolen goods."
"I have a boat."
"I know where Plymouth is."
Some things are not difficult to guess. Often several people come up with a ready-made cooperation plan once they put it all together.
Stimulated by the popular event, hundreds of players put down their work, bought cotton fabrics, and then rushed to Plymouth.
This group of people are the top players in the UK, and they know in their hearts that whoever can take a bite of the cake will be able to get ahead of others.
The so-called taking the lead step by step means that advantages can also accumulate like a snowball.
Wang Hao, who was thousands of miles away, could not imagine the excitement in everyone's hearts, because Plymouth was already in sight.
If there is no suspense, what is there to be excited about?
After coming out of the dock, Wang Hao went straight to the exchange.
System: You sold a unit of woolen fabrics for a total of 1,500 copper coins. After deducting tax of 300 copper coins, the actual income was 1,200 copper coins.
System: This trade income is 1050 copper coins, which is converted into 1050 trade experience points.
Looking at the twelve silver coins that suddenly appeared in the bag, Wang Hao couldn't help but reveal a knowing smile on his face. Then he heard congratulations coming from the system, and the trade level was improved.
Unexpectedly, the trade level was the first to be upgraded among the three levels. He originally thought that the first level to be upgraded must be navigation?
System: You have entered the level ranking list. Do you want to make your name public?
The level rankings are also divided into domestic and world rankings. The one here definitely refers to the British player rankings.
Being so arrogant in a foreign land is simply asking for death. Wang Hao will not seek such limelight. Apart from some reputation, there is no actual benefit at all.
In the game King of One Piece, there are only three levels: sailing, trade, and combat. If you upgrade one level at the same time, you can get one attribute point. Upgrading to five levels can only get two skill points, so upgrading trade alone is of little use.
This is not a big deal, and the system will not announce anything, but there are always some players who are not doing their job properly. After seeing the information about the ranking being refreshed, they quickly spread the news.
"Holy crap, someone actually upgraded so quickly. I didn't even see the shadow of the ship?"
"I'm drooling. I wonder how much money that person makes?"
"It would be nice if I could rob."
"Do you know who the other party is?"
"..."
The players in the port could only stare, and after some complaints, they continued to do whatever they were supposed to do.
On the other hand, the players on the sea received the news from their friends, and many of them guessed the reason. They couldn't help cursing the lucky boy with envy on their faces. At the same time, the fire in their hearts was so strong that it could not be increased.
Hurry up, hurry up, I will be the next one on the list.
Many captains say this to themselves. This urgency is especially obvious for players from large guilds. This opportunity to expand their influence must not be missed.
In particular, the heads of some large guilds were rushing around, asking for information about the person on the list. It didn't take long for these people to come to the conclusion that they were not from their circle, otherwise they would not have been able to find out.
Well.
Only the lieutenant of the Knights of the Round Table, after seeing this message, thought of the Asians he met at Helen Port Exchange in his mind. He had some guesses in his mind, but he did not say it out. After all, it was just his guess and he could not do anything about it.
Accurate.

Now Wang Hao can be considered very wealthy. Others have to pay for their copper coins. Even the coins in his bag exceed single digits. If this spreads out, I don't know how much spit he will get.
Walking into the dock, Wang Hao could only drool when he looked at the large-scale warships lined up there. Even the cheapest small galley would cost one gold coin to win.
It turned out that he had not forgotten his business. He found an old shipwright inside and made a request for renovation.
single mast merchant ship
Base attack: 5
Maximum number of sailors: 5
Cargo warehouse capacity: 1 (unit: cubic)
Gun positions: 1
Extended positions: 1
Sail position: 1
Paddle positions: 1
Durability: 80
Propulsion: 60
There are many types of ship modifications, including those that enhance armor, those that increase speed, and those that strengthen basic attacks. Upgrades like this can be completed by spending a certain amount of money. The upper limit of each modification is level ten.
In addition, there is a special transformation, which is to develop the extended warehouse of the ship. The extended warehouse can be transformed into a gun position or a cargo warehouse. It depends on which route the captain wants to take.
Those who like doing business will naturally give priority to expanding the warehouse. Those who like fighting can also transform it into a gun emplacement. Once selected, it cannot be modified.
Wang Hao is here to transform the expanded position into a gun position to further enhance the output capability. His main attribute is hit. Opening one more gun position means one more attack, which in disguise increases the probability of hitting.
It's just too expensive. Even for this lowest level ship, the cost of special modifications is 5 silver coins.
This time the transformation took about fifteen minutes, so Wang Hao chose to wander around this British main port. He first went to the tavern to recruit all the sailors. The maximum number of sailors the ship could accommodate was 5 people, plus his own
With the command attribute, a total of 6 people can be recruited.
They are all the lowest-level sailors. It’s not that he doesn’t want to recruit higher-level ones, it’s just that he needs a knighthood to do it. So far, he only has 100 national contribution points for completing national tasks. It’s too early to think about this.
.
After coming out of the tavern, Wang Hao walked straight into the armory, where he could buy the equipment needed for the ship.
Plymouth is indeed one of the four major ports in the UK. All kinds of equipment are dazzling. Even cannons are for sale. Although they are blank, they are much more powerful than catapults and ballistas.
It's a pity that Wang Hao can only watch it to satisfy his eyes. Not to mention the price of the cannon, even if he can buy it, he can't use it. You must know that heavy weapons such as cannons can only be loaded on ships of the second level and above, and novice ships
It's just a Tier 0 ship, so there's no need to even think about it.
What Wang Hao values is a medium-sized catapult. Although it is a blank slate, its attack power is higher than that of a green ballista.
Medium catapult (normal): range 250 yards, projectile power +10, hit -1
Compared with small catapults, its range and power have been improved to a certain extent. As for the suffix of hit -1, it is a common problem of all catapults.
This alone cost another 5 silver coins, which forced Wang Hao to give up the idea of continuing to purchase armor plates.
The money he received came and went quickly, but Wang Hao was not worried at all.
Because the fun has just begun!
PS: I will continue to cry for collection and recommendation.
