[The Age of Navigation has arrived, congratulations on being selected as an Ocean Lord]
[The ocean, treasure, extraordinary might, and unknown seas await you]
[3 minutes left before entering the Ocean World...]
Waking up, a mysterious and majestic voice echoed in Fang Yu’s mind, making him suddenly open his eyes wide.
He had finally been selected for this batch of ocean crossovers, becoming a navigator.
About 5 years ago, the global Ocean Era began, with a group of lucky ones selected each month to become navigators, crossing into the Ocean World.
Each batch, each country, depending on its size, would have anywhere from several hundred to several million people.
It was almost a random selection.
This made the citizens still living on Blue Star realize that everyone would probably enter the Ocean Era sooner or later; it was just a matter of time.
Everyone had long been prepared for entering the Ocean World.
And now, Fang Yu was finally selected as one of the navigators to enter the Ocean World.
Upon hearing the words in his mind, Fang Yu immediately sent a message in the family chat group:
"Family, I’ve been selected. I’m going in in three minutes, see you in the Ocean World!"
In the family chat group, there were a total of 21 people, but in reality, fewer than 10 remained, including Fang Yu’s parents.
The others had already entered the Ocean World ahead of time.
"Xiao Yu, you were selected? Sad.jpg"
"Xiao Yu, what role were you selected for?"
At this time, his uncle in the group spoke up.
Fang Yu remembered and then his eyes lit up, laughing lightly: "Everyone, I’ve been selected as a Lord, so if any of you are later selected as a crew member, you can join my ship!"
Navigators are divided into crew members and Lords.
As the name suggests, a crew member can only join ships, becoming a crew member working on the ship.
But a Lord is the captain!
He can recruit crew members, modify ships, explore the unknown, and search for treasures.
Of course, whether a crew member or a captain, in the later stages, as long as the level increases, they can all attain extraordinary abilities.
In fact, some crew members, once their levels increase, have extraordinary abilities stronger than ordinary lower-level Captains.
Hearing that Fang Yu was a Lord, the family chat group exploded with joy, and everyone congratulated Fang Yu.
The ratio of Lords to crew members is 1:9.
The probability of becoming a Lord is only 10%.
Hearing that Fang Yu was indeed a Lord, everyone was naturally very happy.
Even his parents were very pleased, resembling parents whose child scored high, feeling quite proud.
Seeing that the family now knew this news, Fang Yu felt relieved and glanced at the time.
A minute and a half left!
Thinking of this, Fang Yu suddenly thought of something big!
Something very important!
It took 36 seconds, defeating 95% of the computers nationwide.
Cloud storage... delete all in one click!
Browser... clear browsing history!
Fang Yu felt a pang, as inside were top-level collections curated over the years.
Sanjo... Xunguo... Sister Shenmu Li... Little Sister Xiangze...
But, must leave purity in the world!
So empty, so clean, it automatically brought Fang Yu into a state of desirelessness.
Fang Yu closed his eyes and then formatted the phone...
State of mind... superior to Buddha!
My heart is free of attachments... taking away not a cloud! Thıs content belongs to n0velfire.net
[Entering countdown...]
A huge sound from deep within the soul echoed, and then Fang Yu’s form completely vanished from Blue Star.
[Identity acquired: Ordinary Captain]
[Ship acquired: Small Cargo Ship]
[Initial funds: 500 Copper Coins]
[Initial port: Qiyun Port (Safe Zone)]
Fang Yu entered a strange space, and then a small cargo ship quietly appeared before him, bound to his soul.
From now on, Fang Yu is the cargo ship, and the cargo ship is Fang Yu.
Upgrading the cargo ship will also grant Fang Yu extraordinary abilities.
Just then, Fang Yu let out a slight exclaim, feeling a surge of heat from his chest.
He couldn’t help but reach into his chest and pulled out a... dice?
The dice emitted a golden light, confusing Fang Yu.
The guide didn’t mention anything about having a dice after entering this world.
Could it be... this is my golden finger?
Fang Yu’s heart leaped, and with a thought, he immediately tossed the dice into the air.
The dice rolled mid-air for a moment, then one of its faces stopped in front of Fang Yu.
Not the best luck, but not bad either.
But... what can x4 do?
In the next moment, Fang Yu instinctively looked at his backpack and soon widened his eyes.
Remaining money: 2000 Copper Coins.
Does this thing, once tossed out, multiply the amount of something by the rolled number?
Thinking of this, Fang Yu tossed the dice again.
Perhaps... I can continue to get free gains?
But, obviously, Fang Yu overthought it.
The dice transformed once again, ultimately becoming blank, shattering Fang Yu’s idea of getting more free gains.
Fang Yu nodded, not surprised, as being able to toss infinitely would be too abnormal.
This thing can only be used once per acquisition.
However... now with 2000 coins in hand, it means... I have many more advantages than other Lords of the same batch.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu didn’t hesitate, stepping forward into Qiyun Port.
"Come and take a look! Fresh Cyan Tun Fish, only 2 Copper Coins each!"
"Sea guns, 300 Copper Coins each!"
"I am an entry-level crew member with entry-level might, able to carry boxes and cargo, speeding up shipping tasks, only 200 Copper Coins a month!"
This is Qiyun Port, the "beginner village" for navigators, and in this sea area, there are no extraordinary creatures. The security is quite good, and encounters with pirates are nearly nonexistent.
Fang Yu felt his ship now docked at the pier, subtly connected to him.
And what he needed to do was not to sail immediately, but...
Recruit crew members!
Fang Yu had read some guides.
He knew the way for a cargo ship to grow, besides some side quests, the most crucial... is delivery!
As long as a few deliveries are made, the cargo ship can upgrade, and this will empower Fang Yu as the Captain too.
In the initial stage, recruiting crew members is vital for boosting delivery efficiency and enhancing ship capability.
The Captain can’t do without crew, and crew can’t do without a Captain, it’s a symbiotic relationship.
Only by recruiting crew can the ship sail normally.
So after getting through the initial adjustment period, Fang Yu looked into the [Sea Navigation Market].
With 2000 Copper Coins, Fang Yu, being quite wealthy, had many options to choose from!
He stepped into the crew center of the Sea Navigation Market, looking around.
Soon after, he saw many "fellow townsmen" holding a sign, standing in the recruitment hall, eagerly looking at him.
Reminded Fang Yu of the time he went to karaoke with his engineering classmates...
"Bro, choose me, I’m good at it, outgoing."
