CHAPTER 101: CHAPTER 101: TASK SETTLEMENT AND GENEROUS EXPERIENCE

When Fang Yu arrived at the Ocean Court Office, he immediately heard a cacophony of noise in front. Several new crew members were directly pushed out of the office.

"Why are you crowding? These are all F-level tasks. Can you take them? You occupy the office every day, surrounding it tightly, so how can those who want to take tasks manage?"

"New captains, just honestly run your merchant goods. You haven’t even grown fully, and you want to meddle in power levels?"

"Now that we old captains have arrived at Qiyun Port, there are some resources out of your reach, so don’t even think about it."

Fang Yu was taken aback, his gaze landing on the speaker. He saw several old captains speaking coldly to the new captains who had just been pushed out.

The new crew members, who were originally crowded in the Ocean Court Office, were all pushed out by the old captains, leaving the remaining old captains to divide the tasks that scrolled out of the display screen.

The new captains all glared angrily but did not dare to speak.

The other’s energy level was stronger, and with a simple push, they were thrown out.

There was simply no way to resist.

But... the new captains were deeply angry inside.

We had queued all morning, wanting to take on some tasks without level requirements, but once the old captains arrived, they took a glance at the rolling tasks and instantly accepted all of them.

Whether it was F-level tasks or tasks without level requirements, the old captains took them all, leaving no chance for the new captains.

The new captains felt very aggrieved but had no way to deal with the old captains.

...

Fang Yu shook his head slightly as he watched.

Though this scene was unfair, there was nothing that could be done.

Since the old captains collectively returned to the novice village, Fang Yu had known that such resource snatching would occur.

And this situation would probably last for a month or two, or even half a year.

Only when the economic development and supporting resources at Qiyun Port gradually reached the level familiar to the old captains would the resource snatching somewhat ease.

But for now...

Many wolves and little meat, and still some fierce wolves competing with a group of huskies, the outcome is predictable.

Fang Yu glanced at the old captains ahead, shook his head, and then began to walk towards the office.

At this moment, a force pushed towards Fang Yu from the front, accompanied by a warning from an old captain:

"Didn’t I tell you? Go get merchant orders and earn money first, stop coveting Ocean Court positions before you’re fully grown."

The force hit Fang Yu, causing his eyes to turn cold.

He grabbed the old captain’s wrist, applying a slight force, making him feel pain.

The old captain was shocked but felt Fang Yu’s hand like iron, unable to break free, causing him to look at Fang Yu with both surprise and anger.

"Move aside!"

Fang Yu didn’t bother to pay attention to this person, casually saying those two words, then pulling the old captain aside. As the old captain looked with eyes full of surprise, anger, but also fear of Fang Yu’s strength, Fang Yu stepped into the Ocean Court Office.

Some old captains inside the office also heard the commotion outside and subconsciously looked at Fang Yu, their eyes showing a trace of surprise.

There were also old captains who frowned, feeling that a new captain shouldn’t be so arrogant, shouldn’t take resources from the old captains, and without a word wanted to try Fang Yu’s weight.

But just at that moment, an excited voice sounded in the office: "You’re here? Brother, Mr. Lin told me, your rescue mission went exceptionally well."

Everyone was startled, subconsciously making way for Fang Yu.

Law Enforcer Wang Xiaohu... seems to have a good relationship with this kid in front of them?

Several captains shook their heads and slowly stepped back.

A new captain with connections is different from one without.

To put it simply, if Law Enforcer Wang Xiaohu valued this newcomer, he would drive all the old captains away and stand by Fang Yu’s side in case of conflict.

Wang Xiaohu isn’t just a task-issuing NPC, he has his preferences and personality.

If he’s unhappy, he can choose whether or not to issue tasks to you.

Offending a task-issuing enforcer for no reason is not a good choice.

The eyes of the old captains looking at Fang Yu no longer had that condescending feeling, and they all made way for him.

Even those old captains in a hurry to get tasks didn’t say anything but waited patiently for Fang Yu to settle the task.

"How was it? This should be the first time you’ve dealt with extraordinary life, right?" Wang Xiaohu quipped with a smile, adopting a businesslike attitude towards ordinary task takers.

Only when dealing with Fang Yu would he take time out of his busy schedule to joke with him.

Or you could say that Fang Yu’s arrival helped Wang Xiaohu switch from work mode to chatting with a friend rather than the suffocating nature of work.

"It’s okay, suffered a bit, but overall it went smoothly. I found a way to kill that big guy," Fang Yu said with a smile.

"That’s right!" Wang Xiaohu nodded, "Navigators accumulate experience from repeated setbacks, recognizing the shortcomings of their ships.

Fortunate ones survive each time, growing stronger, but some with bad luck lose their lives from one setback."

"This really is a dangerous profession."

Wang Xiaohu sighed, then snapped out of it: "Ah, right, let me settle the task reward for you!"

As Wang Xiaohu spoke, soon, Fang Yu and his crew members heard a prompt sound in their minds:

"Completed Ocean Court F-level special task [Rescue], the whole team gains 6000 XP, 4 initial energy potions, whole team reward of Ocean Court store initial discount coupon (25% off), captain reward of 10 Ocean Court points."

"Triggered leader skill [Shared Wealth]: captain reward of 20 Silver Coins, crew reward of 10 Silver Coins."

Seeing the prompt from the panel, Fang Yu’s eyes lit up with joy.

Ocean Court tasks usually give points, not monetary rewards.

Fang Yu had experienced this before with Zhong Hua.

However, this time, with the additional monetary reward from the merchant Lin Kemian, Fang Yu was unbothered by the lack of monetary rewards from the task itself.

The key was... this task reward was incredibly generous!

XP.

Fang Yu teared up.

Previously, in the Ji Clan Trading Association, how much XP did completing a task reward?

600? 800?

Though that was when Fang Yu hadn’t yet achieved power levels in the Ji Clan Trading Association.

But... jumping from hundreds to 6000 in an instant, how could Fang Yu not be thrilled?

Simply put...

Power levels are truly appealing!

Ocean Court’s points are also crucial, no wonder a point’s internal trade value can reach as high as 1 Gold Coin—they’re worth it!

F-level, completing one task, and getting this much experience.

Fang Yu couldn’t even imagine how rich the rewards for tasks higher than F-level, like D, C, or even B-level, could be.

However...

Fang Yu glanced at his panel with 38 points.

Uh...

Although the new 10 points can be doubled with the dice.

But... enhancing the power level in Ocean Court is still a long way to go...

Fang Yu thought to himself.
