System: Captain Perry has requested to join your fleet, do you agree?
The thorough preparation of this fat man, Perry, was far beyond Wang Hao's expectations.
In the blink of an eye, Paley had almost finished packing the Piaoxue.
Looking at the sailors walking around on the opposite boat, Wang Hao cursed the fat prodigal in his heart. If the sailor was forced to be drafted to him, he might have agreed to the other party's request on land, and it would have been wasted like this.
From recruiting sailors, preparing supplies for voyages, and even weapons and ammunition, Paley did it all, showing his wealth.
Although this saved Wang Hao a lot of energy, he couldn't help but feel a little weird, especially when he saw the fat man opposite instructing the sailor to push a purple cannon to the gun door, the expression on his face had changed.
Completely stiff.
"Help me strengthen the boat. Here, use these materials."
After handing some materials to the shipwright brought by Haitong Express, Pelli's expression finally became serious. For him, the ability to save his life is the most important thing.
"Rosewood? Is there anything wrong with using it on this broken... ship?"
Speaking of which, this shipwright is not someone who has seen the world, but the fat man in front of him actually wants to use precious rosewood in a second-tier ship. He still feels like he is going crazy.
You must know that rosewood is one of the top reinforcement materials. Even if it is used on an artifact ship, it will not be a disgrace. But Perry took out three pieces at once, and all of them were designated to be used on the second-level Willis.
On the gunboat, although the latter is not bad, the level of the ship is too low.
But Pelley didn't think so. In his eyes, his own life was undoubtedly the most important, and although these three pieces of rosewood were precious, they actually didn't cost much. They were withheld when he was the French quartermaster.
, couldn’t help but widen his eyes and said: "Reinforce it if you are asked. What are you talking about!"
In addition to being a little embarrassed in front of Wang Hao, Perry's aura in front of other people should not be underestimated. He calmed down the old shipbuilder with just a few words. Although the latter was still mumbling, there was something on his hands.
Started to take action.
There was a "ding ding dong dong" sound, and the "Piaoxue" began further transformation and strengthening.
Perry noticed that his employer and superior, Wang Hao, was looking over. He quickly gave a humble and flattering smile, but if he knew what Wang Hao was thinking at the moment, he would probably start to doubt whether he had made the wrong decision this time.
.
"This guy's net worth seems to be far beyond my previous expectations. In just a short time, I'm afraid he has scattered tens of thousands of gold coins. It's really... it makes people hate him so much!"
It’s not wrong to have money. It’s not wrong to spend money. But when you spend money, you don’t think about me as your master. That’s a big mistake!
Wang Hao couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, thinking that he would kill the fat man if he had the chance.
Spurred by Paley's promise of double wages, the ship modification was completed at breakneck speed.
"Your Majesty Commander, can we set sail now?"
Pelli adapted to his new identity very quickly. He even changed his name to Wang Hao, and his plump face became more confident. But when he thought of being delayed on the road for so long because of himself,
He became a little uneasy.
"kindness."
This time, Wang Hao was unexpectedly easy to talk to and had no intention of embarrassing the other party. Seeing Pelli go down to deliver the order happily, he was still thinking about a very important question. How many gold coins did the fat man spend just now?
Woolen cloth?
System: Congratulations on creating a micro fleet. Do you want to name it?
When he completely calmed down, he saw the system prompt in the voyage diary. Without thinking, he decided that the name of this fleet would be the Brilliant Fleet.
It doesn't matter whether it's earthy or not, the important thing is that you like it. For Wang Hao, this name also has a special meaning.
The two ships sailed westward after leaving the Strait of Gibraltar. Apart from docking to replenish some supplies, they basically did not stop.
For other players, it is very dangerous to embark on a cross-oceanic journey rashly. You must know that there are endless risks in the depths of the sea. Without a senior navigator to lead the way, players will easily get lost on the journey.
middle.
This is no joke. Even in the world before Wang Hao traveled, trans-oceanic trade was not accessible to everyone. Every year, more than 30% of the players who engaged in ocean-going trade lost their way or encountered accidents.
If the operation fails due to pirates, bad weather, etc., not only will no money be made, but a sum of money will have to be paid.
Ocean trade has always involved risks and benefits.
Wang Hao's confidence is based on his experience of completing the route from Europe around the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, crossing the Indian Ocean, safely arriving in Asia, and traveling back and forth from Quanzhou to Southeast Asia to Cape Town in less than a year after the server was launched.
Although he has never been to America, some of his navigation experience is universal. He is far more powerful in this life than he was in another time and space, so there is no reason to worry.
Wang Hao once roughly calculated the distance from the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea to the American waters. At their current speed, it would take about 12-15 days.
Such a long journey is enough to drive many restless players crazy, but Wang Hao can calm down and travel every day during the day, binding the two ships together with ropes at night, and then go offline to rest.
It's not that he's lazy, maybe he can stay up all night for a few consecutive nights and be fine, but it's not advisable.
During such a long journey, it is very important to adjust one's mental state through proper rest. Many people just don't understand this truth. They progress very smoothly in the early stage, but fail in the middle and later stages due to various mistakes.
Wang Hao would naturally not make such a mistake.
For more than a week, Wang Hao was traveling long distances while making long-distance calls.
Less than half of the people I called were from Europe, but more than half were relatives and friends from Asia.
During the call with Jie Shao and others, Wang Hao learned a lot. The progress of domestic games is still developing along the track of the previous life. The Dragon Soul Guild with an official background and the God of War Tribe are supported by several top financial groups in China.
With a powerful force, it swept through most of China.
In the past week, Mo Qilin, the leader of the Dragon Soul Guild, became the rear admiral and brigade commander of the Beiyang Navy. He was able to directly mobilize nearly a thousand NPC main battleships. His guild's sphere of influence also expanded to dozens of small and medium-sized port cities around Tianjin.
, formal members exceed one million.
With the support of several major consortiums behind the scenes, the Ares Tribe has successfully merged with several top-ranked studios in the country, and used the influence of all parties and a lot of money to sign contracts with two of the top ten guilds in the country.
The cooperation treaty was so powerful that it overshadowed Dragon Soul.
The only variable is that Quanzhou Port, which was originally a scattered place with many small and medium-sized guilds gathered, has begun to come into the sight of many domestic bigwigs because of the Sihai Guild.
