Speaking of the fishing competition, Xiao Bei seemed to be particularly excited. He continued," In the Human-level Sea Area, the Red-striped Cucumber is sold for about five pearls. This price has reached a new high.”
"The fishing competition in the Human Level Sea Area is even more exaggerated.”
"Our waters are more remote, and there are fewer red-striped cucumbers. However, based on this year's market, I conservatively estimate that at least 300 boats will participate in the competition!”
Avril's eyes widened." 300?”
"En, I'm only making a conservative estimate. Let me calculate, there are 50 small boats from the three navies of our trading market participating. Including the merchant ships that had been in the three markets for a long time, there were about 230 to 240 of them. There were also many bounty fleets that would come.”
"The bounty fleet will also come?"
"That's right. Those guys are still going wherever they have money. We don't have many fish here, but we don't have many boats either. Their level is also low. If they come over, they will have a huge advantage. As far as I know, there are two sub-G-grade bounty fleets. Twenty-seven small boats from the two G-grade bounty fleets have signed up. I believe there will be more in the future. Therefore, 300 ships was a conservative estimate.”
After all, Xiao Bei was a lieutenant, so he was very well-informed.
"Avril, the Red-striped Cucumbers are fast, so to capture them, small boats have a greater advantage than large ships. Considering that the power system of a small boat is not good, a 10 to 15 meter boat is the most powerful. However, you must know that although the navy and the bounty fleet's boats are not much bigger than yours, their performance is still much stronger than yours.”
" Firstly, our propulsion system is stronger and faster. Secondly, our hull is sturdy and well-equipped. Thirdly…" Xiao Bei frowned slightly. He thought for a moment and said," Actually, you should be able to imagine that with such a high profit temptation, there will probably be a lot of friction in this fishing competition. And you have to know that if there really is friction, there will definitely be cooperation between the ships of the same fleet.”
Avril had always been smart, so she immediately understood what Xiao Bei meant.
Others were in groups, but they were alone. Not to mention competitiveness, it was already good enough that they did not get beaten up.
"Lieutenant Shaube, are you participating?”
"What? Of course! " I don't have much money to buy cigarettes recently…" Xiao Bei said tearfully." Oh right, how about this? You guys can just walk around us. You're not a professional fishing boat anyway, so you can't catch many." If anyone comes looking for trouble with you, come to my side and I'll protect you!”
Avril nodded and thanked him for the time being." Thank you."”
Not long after, Xiao Bei was called away by the crew. Since he wasn't on his own ship recently, it was easy to find him on Avril's ship.
After Xiao Bei left, Avril sat at the bow of the boat and shared the news with everyone.
"What Xiao Bei means is that the competition this time will be very intense, and we can't even rule out the possibility of friction.”
Everyone fell silent.
The purchase price of the Red-striped Cucumber this time was not bad, but there were 300 ships, including the navy and various bounty fleets. There was no need to think about it. They were definitely bullying them with numbers.
"Captain, what should we do?" Avril asked.
Li Yuan had been thinking about this question for a long time.
"Is it only Sicily that has red-striped cucumbers? Didn't you say that the venue of the competition was changing? Does that mean that there are other places?”Li Yuan asked.
"Captain, it's like this. The location of the competition isn't randomly decided. It's based on the changes in the ocean currents and the migration route of the Red-striped Cucumber Fish last year. In other words, this year, they rose from the shallow sea in Sicily. After crossing this sea area, they would sink and basically could not be caught.”Rui explained.
"I see." Li Yuan said thoughtfully," Then there's no loophole to exploit.”
"We definitely have to participate in this kind of money-picking event. Xiao Bei really thinks that I'm still that little broken boat from before.”Li Yuan said firmly," Avril, go register! This time, we must make a huge profit!”
"Alright, Captain."
In early December, the Morgan Exchange was in a slump. Many people boarded the ship and headed straight for the Missy Exchange.
In the middle of the month, Xiao Bei sent out 18 15-meter warships. More than half of the navy started to set off for the Missy Market.
Seeing the navy set off, the surrounding merchant ships immediately became restless.
"The fishing competition is less than half a month away. It's about time to set off. The navy is gone, let's go! It's safer to follow them."
"I heard that this year's fishing convention is especially lively. Almost all the boats in the market are participating.”
"It's not just the ships in the market. Look at the navy. This time, they sent 18 ships. There were definitely not so many in the past.”
"I heard that a few bounty fleets are also coming! He's really too much. He came to our side to snatch it. Cut the crap, untie all the ropes and let's go. Whether we can make a fortune depends on this!”
Thus, dozens of merchant ships followed behind the navy.
Li Yuan and the others were also in the team.
This time, Li Yuan was not left far behind! Although he was still at the back, at least he could barely keep up.
"Hehe, luckily I installed a sail. With a speed of 10 knots, I can see how fast it is.”Li Yuan was very satisfied.
"Captain, have you installed it? Do you want to check again?" Avril asked," I bought quite a few fishing nets this time.”
"Don't worry, don't you trust the captain?”Li Yuan said confidently.
The red-striped cucumbers were only valuable if they were caught alive. The organizers wouldn't accept the dead ones at all. They would probably be rotten by the time they were transported to the Human-level Sea Area, so they could only keep them for themselves.
Right now, the aphrodisiac ability was useless to Li Yuan. It couldn't make his wooden spikes shoot any further.
Five days later, the fleet of Morgan's trading market arrived at the Missy trading market.
Li Yuan and the others came here often, so they found a corner and stopped.
After they settled down, Avril, Rui, Min, and Shan stood on the deck and looked at the sea.
"Good heavens, so many ships! This is the first time I've seen it!" Rui shook his head and sighed.
Avril also exclaimed," This place is like a dock in the Human-level Sea Area. It's too terrifying.”
"Are these boats here to participate in the fishing competition? At least four to five hundred ships!"
Li Yuan was also shocked!
On the surface of the sea, the wooden corridor that was originally built in the trading market could no longer be distinguished. There were ships everywhere, all kinds of ships.
Wooden Boats, Dark Canopy Boats, Sand Carriers, Galley Boats, Dhow Boats, Two-masted Boats, Three-masted Boats, Giza Boats, and Assault Boats.
Other than these small and medium-sized ships, there were also many G-class ships!
Viking warships, Venice heavy gunboats, British battleships, Spanish warships, tortoiseshell gunboats…There were all kinds of ships, and just the flags fluttering on the ships were dazzling.
"F * ck, so ruthless!" Even on Earth, Li Yuan had never seen such a spectacular display.
Although he was complaining, Li Yuan's heart had never been so excited before!
Azure Era…Alright, I'm starting to like you!
