nChapter 77: Tidal Sea Spirit

nTranslator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

nHe quickly took it out from his backpack and examined it carefully.

nInside the glass sphere, there was a blue shadow, resembling that of a specter.

nThis puzzled Jichen to some extent.

nHe opened the troop panel to take a closer look.

nTidal Sea Spirit

nRace: Sea Spirit

nLevel: 10

nTier: 4,1 star (special)

nSpirit Body (Purple Skill, Immune to Physical Damage)

nMilitary characteristic: Possession (Able to possess the ship and replace 90% of the manpower to operate the ship, but after possession, the damage will be shared with the ship.

nWeakened (After leaving the attached ship, enter a Weakened state, unable to attach again for a short period of time)

nA mystical creature nurtured by the Tidal Lord

nIt was a Tier 41-star, with only one purple skill.

nBut upon closer inspection, the effect of the first troop characteristic was simply astonishing!

nAccording to the standards of the New Moon, it required at least 150 individuals to fully utilize all its functions.

nIn other words, with the embodiment of the Tidal Spirit, only fifteen individuals would be needed to operate it.

nThis significantly reduced the manpower required!

nWhat an unexpected delight!

nConsidering that the current pirate crew on the New Moon consisted of only sixty-six individuals, they couldn’t even use half of its functionalities.

nIn addition to the reduced manpower requirement, he thought of other potential uses.

nIf it could be attached to his own ship, could the Tidal Sea Spirit still attach itself to the enemy’s ship?

nThis thought stirred Ji Chen.

nDuring a battle at sea, imagine the confusion the enemy would experience when suddenly realizing their ship is no longer under their control. How bewildering would that be?

nAs long as he had a sufficient number of Tidal Spirits.

nHe could even assemble an unmanned fleet that would roam the seas.

nA cameo appearance as a ghost ship wouldn’t be out of the question either.

nHe couldn’t wait to open the recruitment interface and see how many Tidal Spirits he could recruit in a week.

nSea Spirit Vortex

nTier: 4,1 star

nType of soldier recruited: Tidal sea spirit (tier 4,1 star)

nNumber of recruits per week: 1

nCurrent Recruit Count: 1

nRecruitment cost: 500 units of crystals

nOne per week, 500 units of crystals for each?

nCrystal again…

nHero Altar, Mystic Realm Crystal, Alice’s Military Talent Tree.

nAnd now, adding the incredible Tide Spirit unit to the mix.

nIt seemed that he had to find as many crystal resources as possible before returning to his territory.

nHowever, Jichen had little knowledge about acquiring crystals.

nAs a highly valuable resource, crystals were considered rare and precious, whether in the possession of the native inhabitants or players.

nMost of the time, they were traded for other equally rare resources, and they rarely appeared on the market.

nEven if they were available on the market, the prices would be exorbitant.

nWith his current assets, he probably couldn’t even afford to purchase 200 units of crystal.

nAlthough he had a lot of Mithril in his hands, it was all used to upgrade Alice’s military technology tree.

nIf he used it to exchange for crystals, wouldn’t he be robbing Peter to pay Paul?

nMoreover, he needed tens of thousands of crystals.

nHe could only go to the forum to see if there was any news about the crystal.

nJi Chen opened the forum and searched for the keyword “crystal”.

nIn a flash, tens of thousands of posts appeared.

n“The uses of crystal resources…”

n“I discovered a crystal vein less than 500 meters from my territory…”

n“The value of one unit of crystal…”

n“Shocking! A mysterious gateway appeared near the Silver Islands and inside it…”

nOne post’s title quickly caught his attention.

nSilver Islands, the Mystic Real

nThese two words piqued his interest.

nRaymond had mentioned the Silver Islands as a bustling Island nearest to his territory.

nIt was known for its bustling trade routes and commercial prosperity.

nIn his plans, he intended to visit the Silver Islands during his sea voyage to experience the grandeur of the world.

nAnd now, there was a mystery occurring near the Silver Islands?

nThis news heightened his curiosity, and he clicked on the post to read it carefully.

nAlthough the title seemed clickbait, the content inside struck him profoundly.

n“This morning, there was a rumor that fishermen from the Silver Islands found a mystic realm gate and picked up a few crystals after passing through it. Therefore, they determined that the mystic realm might produce high-level resources like crystals.”

n“However, the local Alliance officials quickly refuted this news. Simultaneously, they dispatched a fleet to block off the affected sea area and prohibited anyone from entering. Their actions were contradictory and raised suspicions.”

n“Some individuals attempted to reach the sea area, but they were all intercepted by the Alliance officials.”

n“However, there were witnesses who claimed that the Alliance officials rescued a boatload of injured individuals from the affected sea area. It is highly likely that they had already entered the mystic realm but faced retaliation from the native inhabitants.”

nLooking at the updated information in the thread, Ji Chen’s heart gradually moved.

nAccording to various information, the Silver Islands might produce crystal resources.

nIf that was the case, then he had even more reason to go.

nHe looked at the nautical chart.

nFrom the current sea area to the Silver Islands, the New Moon would only need a little more than two days at full speed. There was still plenty of time.

nWhen they received the news that the secret plane had opened, the players nearby would definitely swarm over.

nOnce the number of players increased, the local Alliance’s official fleet might not be able to keep everyone outside.

nThat way, he would have an opportunity to enter the mystic realm.

nAt this thought.

nJi Chen didn’t hesitate any longer and quickly gave the order to the pirates.

n“Raise the sail and head for the Silver Islands at full speed!”

n“Yes, sir!”

nThe three sails were raised, and the sea breeze was blowing.

nThe New Moon was advancing at full speed toward the Silver Islands.

nThe White Sand Princess, which had been sailing on the Western Ocean for several days, finally saw land.

n“Phew, I’m finally back.” Raymond leaned against the railing and looked at the bustling port in the distance. He heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

nThe White Sand Princess had been moving at full speed since leaving the Storm Sea a few days ago, heading for the port where the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce was located.

nAlthough they encountered some trouble along the way, they returned safely.

nIt was strange.

nBefore leaving the Island, Raymond was worried that the storm at the edge of the Stormy Sea would damage the ship again.

nHowever, unexpectedly, it was calm when they passed through.

n“Could it be because of His Excellency Ji Chen’s blessing?” he muttered to himself.

nBut the next moment, he shook his head and denied this wild idea.

nThe state of the sea was unpredictable. How could it be affected by a casual blessing?

nOtherwise, as long as he received a blessing, the entire voyage would be so calm and there would be no need to worry about the risks of the sea.

nWith Sir Ji Chen’s blessing, he would probably become a guest of honor for all the merchants in the Mid-Earth Ocean.

nEven if he offered 1,000 gold coins, it was still worth it!
