The Ocean Lord Is Unusually Powerful

After several days of boring sailing, when the outline of the Crescent Islands appeared on the sea level in the distance, everyone on the ship felt excited.

Although I have only been out at sea for more than ten days, it feels like several years have passed.

The tense nerves slowly relaxed with the gentle sea breeze blowing.

When Velus, who was left to guard his territory, saw so many ships appearing on the sea, his expression was very serious. Especially when he saw the huge ship as big as a hill, he was even more prepared to die in battle. preparation.

Someone quickly informed Lady Anina that he came to the beach with all the remaining murloc rangers and some of the armed citizens, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Small boats were put down one after another on the ship and rowed slowly over.

But when he saw a familiar figure standing at the bow of the ship, his spirit immediately relaxed and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He quickly rushed forward with his army.

"Lord, you are finally back!"

Ji Chen walked onto the beach, looked at Velus who looked a little tired, and felt calm.

It seemed that this middle-aged man was really working seriously during his absence.

"Well, I'm back. Thank you for your hard work these days. The territory has not been invaded by the enemy?"

Hearing this, Velus straightened his back and said sternly: "In the past few days when the Lord has been away, the territory has been operating normally and no major problems have occurred.

The monsters that occasionally climbed up from the sea were all killed outside the territory under the protection of the remaining fish-man cruisers, leaving no damage to the territory or personnel.

In addition, the resource collection work has also gone very smoothly, and a lot of resources have been accumulated in the warehouse. "

As he said that, Velus suddenly remembered something and said in panic: "But just a week ago, some of the resources in the warehouse suddenly disappeared out of thin air in front of my eyes."

A week ago?

Wouldn't that be when he was in the secret realm?

Resources suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

He soon realized that these missing resources should be the consumption of upgrading Alice's Song of Temptation.

Seeing the panic on Velus's face, Ji Chen smiled and waved his hand.

"This has nothing to do with you, it's me who used this resource."

Hearing this, this conscientious middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief and continued to report.

“Kobolds are very obedient in digging for resources at resource points. They seem to have completely lost their will to resist.

And according to your order, we promoted a small number of kobolds among them as "stewards" and promised them that if they can manage other kobolds well and report those who want to rebel and those who are lazy, they can get better food. and residence,

And show some courtesy to them in words. After doing this,

These kobold stewards unexpectedly showed a more cruel side to their own kind. When implemented in this way, it turned out to be better than us taking care of them directly! "

Having said this, Velus's eyes were filled with admiration.

Ji Chen just smiled.

This is the so-called dog management. There are about 400 to 500 kobolds, and it would take too many manpower to completely control them.

But by doing so, the manpower and effort required to monitor them can be greatly reduced.

Get twice the result with half the effort.

This routine is so bad for humans, but the effect is really good.

"Oh, by the way, Lady Anina has helped us a lot during this time, repelling many monster attacks."

After hearing this, Ji Chen looked at Anina, who was standing alone in the distance.

He could see that Anina was very excited and happy at this time, but she suppressed herself and didn't let her emotions show out. She just blinked and looked this way.

Seeing Ji Chen looking at her, he turned his head away slightly in panic.

Ji Chen couldn't help but smile, and then walked towards her.

"Anina, I heard from Velus that you have been very dedicated to guarding the crown of the ocean during this period. You are truly worthy of being a deep-sea dragon whale. You have indeed kept your promise!"

Hearing this, the dragon whale girl's lips couldn't help but curl up, and everyone could see her happiness.

But after realizing what she was doing, she immediately suppressed it and said with a straight face: "This is the agreement you and I made, and I will naturally abide by it."

Ji Chen looked at this cute look and said with a smile: "A promise is a promise, but it is also true that you helped Ocean Crown. The citizens are very grateful to you."

As soon as these words came out, the dragon whale girl, who couldn't stand the praise, couldn't help grinning and laughing, "Really? Why do I feel that they look at me strangely?"

You probably ate too much and scared them.

"How could that be? They really like and appreciate you."

When the leaders saw Ji Chen winking at them, they were excited and immediately cooperated.

"Lady Anina, thank you for protecting us!"

"Without you, the territory might have been invaded by monsters. Thank you for everything you have done!"

Hearing this, the dragon whale girl's heart almost overflowed with happiness, and she giggled sheepishly.

But then, as if she remembered something, her face suddenly darkened.

Ji Chen was a little confused and asked.

"We agreed before to protect this place while you were out at sea, but now that you are back, the agreement is fulfilled and I have to leave."

Before Ji Chen could say anything, the people in charge suddenly became anxious.

"Sir Anina, why are you leaving? Are you unhappy living here? We all hope you can stay."

"Although you eat a lot, we don't dislike you at all. If you are not full, I am willing to give you half of my portion of food!"

"I'm also willing to pay half, so you can stay."

"I only eat one meal a day, and I'll give you the rest!"

"I won't eat, I'll give it all to you!"

They knew that Anina was of extraordinary origin, possessing immense strength and appetite that surpassed human beings.

At first, I did feel like I was out of tune with them, like an alien.

But after a long time, everyone unanimously fell in love with this girl who looked arrogant, but was actually very kind and enthusiastic.

During the monster invasions, the girl always stepped forward with a giant sword and killed all the monsters without even being able to take a step into the territory.

I already considered her a part of the territory.

Now that I heard her say that she wanted to leave, I immediately became anxious and anxiously held on to her.

"You want me to stay?" Anina was also stunned after hearing this. Tears suddenly came to her eyes when she saw the people's words.

In the past, I was just alone, without worries.

But now there are so many humans who regard her as family. For the first time, she feels so deeply the feeling of being needed by so many people.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen was like an old blacksmith, striking while the iron was hot.

"Anina, you've seen it too. Everyone can't bear to leave you. Just stay and treat this place as your home."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The extremely thin-skinned Dragon Whale girl couldn't hold back anymore after hearing this, and tears were streaming down her face.

a long time.

Anina sniffed, her face turned red, and she said to Ji Chen with wandering eyes: "Since you said so, I will reluctantly stay."

"But you must make sure I eat enough every meal, otherwise I...I will run away!"

Ji Chen was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as I can eat enough, I will never starve you!"

"It's a deal!"

"Ding~ Deep Sea Dragon Whale (human form): Anina (hero) is loyal to you."

"Anina (hero) unit technology tree panel is opened."

"Ding~ Successfully recovered three heroic units, you have learned the red skill: Persuasion."

persuade?

Can you still learn skills after recovering three heroes?

Ji Chen was slightly surprised, and with a thought in mind, he opened his personal panel to check.

Find the skill column.

In addition to professional skills, there is an additional column of life skills.

[Life skills]: Persuasion (red skill, can use language to persuade the target, and greatly increases the chance of persuading surrender, submission, and subjugation [can only be effective on intelligent creatures])

Looks very good.

But there weren't many surprises. After all, he had persuaded so many pirates to submit to him before, even though it was a physical persuasion.

But it’s not bad to get a red skill.

In addition to persuading surrender, it may also be used to bargain with merchants.

Anina successfully became the hero of the territory, which was considered to have settled one of his worries.

After turning off his personal panel and looking at Anina who was talking to Alice, Ji Chen remembered something.

It seemed like he had something to give her.

He flipped through his backpack and took out a talisman.

【Amulet of Strength】

[Level]: 4-star treasure (single)

[Effect]: Increase strength by 200%, but speed up physical consumption by 100%

[Cooling time]: None

This power amulet was originally intended to win over Anina.

Now that Anina has declared her allegiance under a lot of rhetoric, this amulet can only be given away as a gift.

"Anina, come here and I'll give you this amulet."

The dragon whale girl looked at the amulet in surprise and asked in disbelief.

"Is this really for me?"

Ji Chen smiled slightly, "Of course, put it on and see if it fits."

As soon as Anina put on the amulet, she felt that the power her body could control was doubled.

He picked up the giant sword as if there was nothing in his hand.

Well, it looked like it was holding a branch before, but now it looks like it's a stick rolled out of parchment.

In this case, we can definitely protect the lord better, right? she thinks.

"I like this gift very much!" Anina looked excited. When excited, she suddenly stood up on tiptoes and kissed Ji Chen's right cheek.

Alice was stunned immediately, and Ji Chen was also stunned.

"Anina you."

The dragon whale girl looked at their strange appearance and said nonchalantly: "What's so strange? This is how a group of deep-sea dragon whales express their gratitude. Is there any problem?"

At this point, Ji Chen and Alice were speechless.

I couldn't help but murmur in my heart, does the deep-sea dragon whale really have such a habit?

This matter is over.

Ji Chen led everyone back to the territory.

He began to inspect various affairs in the territory.

The first is the issue of resources. During the time he went to sea, various resource points produced a large amount of resources.

Clay, crude iron, and stone filled the warehouse.

Wood, in particular, was built everywhere, with the number reaching 15,000 units.

Here, I would like to thank the kobolds again for their efforts.

Due to the willingness to continue cutting down, the trees on the territory are now completely cleared except for the coffee trees.

The woods surrounding the territory have also been cut down, leaving a lot of construction space.

This laid a solid foundation for Ji Chen’s subsequent civil engineering work.

Take out the two architectural drawings from your backpack.

[Architectural drawings: Large water village]

[Architectural drawings: wood processing plant]

Both of these two are obtained from the secret realm. The former requires a large amount of wood and a suitable location, and it is currently unable to be constructed.

The latter requires wood and stone, and the resources are sufficient for construction, and it is better to build this kind of industrial chain building as early as possible.

It would be best to complete the construction and make samples of the product before Raymond comes again, so that he can bring back an estimated value when he returns.

The construction site of the wood processing plant is set up in the open space northeast of the Lord's Mansion. This area will become a functional area in the future to accommodate various functional buildings.

Then he opened the territory construction panel and called up the territory's characteristic buildings.

[Special buildings in the territory]

【Jungle Plantation】

[Level]: Special

[Construction consumption]: 1000 units of wood, 1000 units of stone

[Occupied area]: 50×50 (meters)

[Effect]: Able to grow jungle crops and increase their yields

Cover the specialty coffee tree directly to contain it.

"Ding~ Selecting specialty coffee trees for jungle plantation crops can increase yields by 50%."

50% of the output, that is, from producing 2 units to producing 3 units of specialty coffee beans in one week, the bonus is amazing.

In addition to increasing production, jungle plantations can also grow reproductive jungle crops.

Twenty-five coffee trees will soon become fifty, then a hundred.

By then, more coffee beans will be produced, helping him earn a steady stream of gold coins!

Ji Chen did not stop building these two buildings, and ordered more than ten residential buildings again to add more housing.

Now the indigenous tribes have all moved over, changed their appearance, and truly become part of the territory.

Velus has also reported on the indigenous people's cultivation of sea rice.

In the lowlands southeast of the main island, dozens of acres of sea rice have been planted, and they are still expanding.

It is expected that within the next week, enough seawater rice fields will be planted to sustainably support thousands of people.

After dealing with these more urgent matters.

Ji Chen then came to the west side of the territory and took out three military recruitment camp cores.

One from the Tidal Sea Spirit and two from the Deep Sea Ranger.

Without wasting time, my mind moved.

The three cores each flew to one place.

Plunging deep into the soil, three recruitment camps suddenly emerged.

The appearance of the Tidal Sea Spirit Recruitment Camp is like a signal tower, while the Deep Sea Ranger Recruitment Camp is like a giant doghouse with extremely dark inside.

But Ji Chen didn't care about this and was slightly excited.

These two arms will change the way he fights!
