Raine opened Avril's information panel.
| [Name: Avril] [Mutation Type: Inheritance Evolution] [Detailed Classification: Support] [Mutation Stage: First Stage] [Mutation Level: 2/10] [Mutation Ability: The target human can accelerate and decrease cellular activity and intracellular reaction speed within a certain period. At current rank, the target human can alter cellular activity by 20%.] [Combat Power: 1 (Real Time)] |
A real upgrade! Raine's eyes widened. His suspicions were correct!
Avril was different from Arsan in improving their abilities. She can increase her mutation level by using her abilities constantly!
Although Avril's upgrade did not increase combat power, that was not the point. The point was her solid supporting ability. If she'd work with Arsan or a more powerful mutant later, then the benefits Avril brought were immeasurable.
Also, the fact that she healed Terry's leg shows that she has some healing ability, which speaks volumes about the potential of Avril's abilities.
Indeed a treasured girl, Raine got his money's worth with this investment.
They had spent three months on the island before Raine and others knew it, and Terry said the trading market would reopen in half a month.
Raine panicked a little when he thought about the materials he would need for his next level.
5,000 units of wood, 10,000 kg of metal ingots, 2,000 kg of stone, and 1,000 kg of textile fiber. The materials needed to evolve to the next level are a bit more.
If converted into pearls, it would require 14,000 pearls! That's 20 times more than the current price of this ship!
Raine wonders how long it would take to earn enough if they just take transport missions.
Raine told the group about the problem, "Tell me, are there any other ways to make a killing?"
The crew members were frowning.
Armin thought about it and said, "Captain, 14,000 pearls isn't a small amount anymore. It's hard to make that many pearls in no man's land."
Terry echoed, "Yeah if no man's land were good for the money, it wouldn't be called no man's land. Captain, why wouldn't we go to human-class waters?"
Avril shook her head and said, "We're not bad in No Man's Land now, but when we get to Human-Class waters, we won't have any advantages."
Avril came from the human-class sea and knew it well after all.
"There are indeed many opportunities in the human-class sea. The prices for transporting are higher there, some freighters can make hundreds of pearls in one trip, and there are crew markets, slave markets, and large trading markets, but it's also a place where forces are entrenched. There are countless forces based on the various islands, shipping routes, and the money-making business is almost all held by them."
"There is impossible to compete with them in our current state without any backing."
"Besides, the human-class sea is much more dangerous than here. There are often naval battles going on there, plus sea monsters, beasts, and so on. I think we shouldn't go to the human-class sea for the time being."
Raine asked, "Avril, are the human-class waters that chaotic? Doesn't the Navy care at all?"
"Captain, the Navy is just a more powerful force. They protect the ships around them because the merchant employed them. If you put that aside, they are no different than bounty groups or even pirate groups."
Armin nodded, "I have read many accounts of famous naval battles, in the Battle of the Blue Sea, the Battle of Hurricane Centre, the Battle of Peter Island, and so on, the Navy has made its position clear long. They have long since ceased to be the policemen who keep the peace at sea, the law of the jungle in this world, and so is the Navy."
"The Navy has always used hypocritical oaths to attract good mutant to join, but... And Shobe also said he disliked the Navy acts."
Raine let out a small sigh. This Azure Era was more chaotic than he had imagined.
After a moment of silence, Raine suddenly thought of a problem. To become stronger, apart from the evolution of the ship, the crew was also an important part. And now that his ship was big enough, he needed new crew members.
Curious, he asked, "Oh yes, you guys said there were crew and slave markets in the human-class seas. What's that?"
Avril replied, "The crew market is where seamen are hired, and among these seamen are veterans and novices. Some are left. In short, there are all kinds of people, even mutants."
"The slave market, well, it's simple, that's where the crews of the defeated ships and their families go to, and you can buy them just for a price."
"Holy shit! That's barbaric..." Raine, a modern man, was astonished that there would be such a commodity as "slaves" 300 years later on Earth.
There were slaves, so he won't even have to think about how chaotic the human-class waters were.
Raine decided not to go to the human-class waters for now.
"So there's no way to find seafarers in no man's land?" Raine asked.
Armin thought for a moment and said, "Captain, there is!"
"There is a port 2,000 nautical miles from here called Port Angel. The waters around Port Angel were swift, so many ships chose to go around and stop there for supplies. Many ships transporting enslaved people also stop there and let them off and rest."
"With no middlemen to make the difference, the price of slaves there is 20 to 30 percent cheaper than in the slave market. So many buyers will even go there to pick up slaves."
Avril looked at Armin strangely, "Armin, you're good. How do you know about this? I didn't even know there is such a port."
Armin smiled shyly, "Sister Avril, I don't have any other hobbies except reading books, so I know some information like that."
Raine couldn't help but be amazed. His crew was real treasures, Armin didn't become a mutant and wasn't as experienced as her dad, but she was very knowledgeable. He would have been stuck in the crew question without Armin for a long time.
"Armin, good job. I've decided to give you an extra chicken leg for lunch!" Raine said excitedly, "We have 400 pearls left now, right? Is that enough to buy slaves?"
"Captain, the price of hiring a crew and buying a slave is different, which mainly depends on their ability. Some slaves can be bought for a few pearls, while some, like those powerful mutants, are priced so high that there is no upper limit, more expensive than even the Poseidon fruit. It was mentioned in the great logbook of the voyage that the Navy sent three naval brigades to escort a powerful mutant prisoner once. That's about 200 battleships. And it was escorted by an admiral."
"Holy shit, more than two hundred ships just escorted a person... and with an admiral..." The crowd couldn't help but be shocked.
What kind of terrifying existence is that kind of person? And who defeated the guy?
"Forget it. That's too far. Let's find the cheap..." Raine got the meeting back on topic, "Think about it, are there any loopholes we can exploit to at least get our money's worth? "
Armin mused over it, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Oh, Captain, aren't you and Avril both able to sense the mutant? If so, maybe we can take advantage of it."
Raine opened Avril's information panel.
