Raine used most material. After these transformations, Raine has changed quite a bit now.

A long mast was erected in the center of the ship, and its sails were rolled up. The bow and stern are wrapped in metal, the ramming horns grow, and the hull also was reinforced with metal. And the bottom of the Raine has equipped with six recyclable steel forks!

When looking at the ship information, the system unexpectedly counts the harpoon as part of the weapon system.

With the addition of the harpoons, the weapon system updated.

[Wooden spikes at the bottom of the bow, attack power (10), quantity (1)]

[Metal ramming horn, attack power (45), quantity (1)]

[Bottom harpoon, attack power (6), quantity (6)]

[Metal reinforced hull, defense (18)]

If Raine remembered correctly, the attack power of the horn was increased by 15! The hull reinforcement defense power also has been increased from 10 to 18!

In addition, the six harpoons add another 36 attack points for Raine.

Now Raine's weapon system's total combat power has exceeded 100, reaching 109!

"Holy shit! 109 combat power! I'm stronger than ever!" Raine was so excited. After creep developing for so long, he was no longer a minion with a combat power of 0!

Although Raine's weapons are still very rudimentary, he already has close-range undersea defense counterattack, close body combat, and long-range attack three abilities!

Arsan also said happily, "This is good. We will no longer be afraid of someone playing tricks under the ship!"

Terry nodded and said, "Captain, this arrangement is too wise, much better than those three useful guns!"

"Yeah, Do you think who I am? I am your captain!" Raine was also in an excellent mood.

At this level, he was already satisfied.

Wait, he was strengthened, but it was about to be winter, and the situation that the crew reflected on last time had not been solved.

Thinking of this, Raine calmed down his excitement. Now it's time to prepare some necessary living supplies.

"By the way, Avril, how many pearls do we have now? What living supplies do you need?"

Avril didn't think about it and said, "Captain, right now we have 348 pearls."

According to Raine's understanding, he needs 1000 wood, 300 kg iron, and 120 kg textile fiber to evolve to the next level.

1 pearl can buy 10 wood or 1 kg iron. Textile fiber is expensive. Land scarcity makes it very difficult to grow cotton and linen, combined with the huge demand, causing its price even to exceed iron, reaching 3 pearls 1 kg!

Even Biao, who always bullies others, only has Hufflepuff boats, which are not equipped with sails.

In total, these materials need 760 pearls.

Raine thought about it. If he took all materials change to pearls, should be enough to evolve, and he still have some copper and iron left.

But, if he dumped his family to change a ship, he likely does not have too many materials to equip enough weapon systems, and even no ability to strengthen the hull, the new ship's defense will definitely be reduced, and then the overall combat power may not be as good as this ship now.

After a few mind battles, Raine was increasingly aware that only upgrading the ship level alone could not survive in this world, and he must improve his combat power at the same time. He should recruit strong crew and make his crew strong enough to ensure his survival!

"En, anyway, the difference is not much. We don't need to rush to change the ship." Raine said, "Let's just take our time to make money."

Terry frowned and said, "Captain, in the past winter, the trading volume of the major trading markets will seriously shrink, especially the half month of the New Year. Most staff of the trading market will go home for vacation. This time transport may not earn much money."

Avril thought about it, and suddenly seemed to think of something, "By the way, Terry, Is there a New Year's fishing tournament at Morgan?"

Armin immediately said excitedly, "Oh, yes, that is the most lively competition."

Arsan also came to the spirit, "Morgan, Sicily, and Becal. The three trading market boats will have almost all participants. This year... Oh, it should be held in the Sicily trading market. I remember last year there were at least hundreds of boats participating. Even the Navy's small ships also participated in it."

"Of course they will attend. After all, the price of cucumber fish is so high! Catch one is 1 pearl. They also want to try their luck."

"But it's difficult to catch the cucumber fish. They are too fast. It's fortunate to catch 10 a boat."

"Whatever! Anyway, the cucumber fish only appear once a year. Just try your best! Besides, the top three will be rewarded with pearls, and the first will be rewarded with 50 pearls!"

The three women chatted so passionately that Raine and Terry felt abandoned.

But it does not matter. Through their conversation, Raine has probably understood this fishing competition.

"Hey, hey, hey, you three, stop for a moment!" Raine interrupted the three women, "What is the cucumber fish? Catching one can get one pearl? Why is the fish so valuable?"

Most fish are cheap. Terry has been fishing for a long time and has not saved many pearls, as evidenced by this.

Terry said, "Captain, the cucumber fish is different. This fish is the most expensive kind of fish because..." Terry glanced at the three women, they all lowered their heads and giggled. Terry also smiled and continued, "Because the cucumber fish has the effect of aphrodisiac. In the human-class sea, 30 pounds of cucumber fish can sale three pearls."

"But the cucumber fish only float within 50 meters of shallow waters on the last day of the year. At other times, there is no chance to catch it unless the boat has deep-sea operation capability."

"After all, our place is not a human-class sea, so some people come here to buy cucumber fish in the name of holding a fishing competition."

"At this time, the cucumber fish is all right in size, and as long as you catch one, you can exchange it for a white pearl at their place. In addition, the first place in the competition can get a 50 pearls reward, the second place 20 pearls, and the third place 10 pearls."

Raine said dissatisfied, "They can casually make twice as much! Oh shit treacherous businessman."

"Well, cucumber fish are most valuable only when they are alive, long-distance transport will die a lot, they also need to cost, and our purchase price here is originally lower than the human-class sea, overall, the price is still very fair."

Raine said thoughtfully, "Well, you said it's fair, so it should be fair. Unfortunately, we are not a professional fishing boat. Even if we attend, we will work for..."

The word "nothing" has not yet been said, Raine suddenly realized...

"Who said I'm not a professional fishing boat?"

He was equipped with six harpoons just now!
