From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Afterwards, Yixiao went to the [Royal Capital] and the newly occupied countries and regions of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].

Order has been completely restored there, and things are thriving.

The numbness on people's faces was swept away, replaced by expectations for the future.

This scene moved Yixiao a little.

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands treats its people really well." Yixiao sighed.

"Of course, this is the foundation of the country!" the tour guide replied with a smile.

"At all?! I really hope other kingdoms can realize this." Yixiao said with a complicated expression.

Afterwards, under the guidance of the tour guide, Yixiao traveled around the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Two weeks later.

Yixiao came to the [Royal Capital] again and said goodbye to Xia Jieren.

How could Xia Jieren not understand Yixiao's choice?

Therefore, he did not try too hard to retain her.

"What a pity!" Xia Jieren shook his head regretfully as he looked at Yixiao's departing back.

Emotions come and go quickly!

After a while, Xia Jieren let it go.

"After all, [Insect Man] is the most reliable!"

Now, Xia Jieren no longer hopes to recruit strong men at the general level.

Instead of spending time on recruiting people, it is better to train them yourself.

After figuring it out, Xia Jieren ordered: "Kerrigan, let Sanda and the others train with peace of mind. Don't assign them other tasks recently."

"Yes!" Kerrigan naturally would not object.

……

Time passes quickly like running water.

The end of the year 1513 in the Haiyuan calendar.

The skeletons of the [mycelium] in [Four Seas] and [Paradise] have been laid and are rapidly expanding towards the [New World].

"It's really not easy!" Xia Jieren sighed as he looked at the [mycelial blanket] network that had consumed hundreds of billions of energy to build.

In addition, hundreds of [ocean ranches] opened up by the [Zerg] in other sea areas have been put into operation.

Together, ocean ranches around the world are expected to provide more than 120 billion kilowatts of energy per month.

It can be said that Xia Jieren is now extremely rich.

Today, Xia Jieren is full of confidence and is carrying out large-scale construction in [Xi Hai].

The influence in other waters is also expanding steadily.

The outside world is in turmoil, and new pirate stars continue to emerge.

Compared to the original work, the number of pirates is obviously much less.

This was also influenced by Xia Jieren.

[West Sea] There used to be so many pirates every year, but now there are only a few left.

Even if someone has this idea, they dare not express it within the territory of [West Sea].

Only when they left the [West Sea] did they dare to openly call themselves pirates.

Xia Jieren was also helpless about this.

No matter how he guides, there are always some people who are unwilling to obey the rules.

After a long time, Xia Jieren simply stopped caring about it.

Everyone has their own ideas and is responsible for their own choices.

The number of pirates decreased, and the size of the navy was also greatly reduced.

Without the [West Sea], the number of naval forces needed by the navy would be reduced by at least 10.

[The Five Elder Stars] took this opportunity to simultaneously reduce naval spending.

Sengoku and other high-ranking naval officers argued their case, but without exception, they were beaten back by the Five Elder Stars.

Zhan Guo was furious and secretly criticized the [Five Elders] for being short-sighted.

Both the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] and the [Three Emperors] are threats.

The [World Government] actually pretended not to see it and wanted to maintain a false peace.

"Damn the [World Government]." Sengoku vented.

half an hour.

Zhan Guo took a deep breath and sat up straight again.

Seeing that he had calmed down, He slowly said, "The Five Elders have issued instructions, requiring us to cooperate with the CP organization and search for a lantern fish in the South China Sea."

"What!" Zhan Guo was furious when he heard this. "Humph! You suppress me first and assign me a task the next. This is really good... [World Government]."

After sneering, Zhan Guo asked, "Did the [World Government] tell you the reason?"

He nodded slightly and said, "It should be related to [Pure Gold]!"

"【Pure gold】?!" Zhan Guo asked in surprise.

"That's right!" He explained, "According to intelligence, on an island called [Arukaimi] in the [South China Sea], a couple of scientists have discovered [pure gold]."

"However, not long after that, pirates attacked [Arukemi]."

"After that, part of [Arukemi] was swallowed by a giant lantern fish."

"Those guys are still dreaming of immortality!" Zhan Guo was very disdainful.

He said seriously: "Based on the data, the possibility of [pure gold] existing is very high."

"What should we do next?"

Zhan Guo pondered for a moment and said, "Let the [World Government] take care of this kind of thing!"

"Just notify all branches in [Nanhai]."

“Don’t pay too much attention to the intangible things.”

"Yeah!" He folded his arms across his chest and nodded slightly.

It didn’t take long for the [World Government] to take action.

Xia Jieren also received the news.

【Heart Network】.

After browsing the information, Xia Jieren's eyes flashed with strong curiosity: "【Pure Gold】?!"

[Pure Gold] is a legendary metal in the pirate world, and its smelting technology has been lost.

It is considered to be of great value, even capable of outright buying the world's treasures.

In addition, pure gold can treat various diseases, slow down aging, and may even increase lifespan several times.

The [Celestial Dragons] have been pursuing [pure gold].

"Have we reached the special episode [Heart of Gold] so early?" Xia Jieren muttered.

Then, he ordered: "Kerrigan, deduce the movement route of the lantern fish and take more photos of the [Scouts]."

"Okay!" Kerrigan quickly arranged the tasks according to Xia Jieren's orders.

“I remember that in the lantern fish’s belly, in addition to a large amount of [pure gold], there were two survivors—Miskina Asiye and his daughter Miskina Olga.”

“Miskina Asiye is a great materials scientist.”

"After all, the one who can create something like [pure gold] is definitely not an ordinary person."

“You can recruit them!”

But it's too early to think about this now.

Xia Jieren quickly put the matter behind him.

Unexpectedly, the actions of the CP organization in the South China Sea attracted the attention of some interested parties.

As the news spread, the news of the existence of treasure in the South China Sea became more and more widespread for some reason.

[Nanhai] immediately became lively.

The Pirates, the Kingdom, and the [Dark World] all want to get involved.

Even if some people don't understand what the so-called treasure is, it doesn't stop them from joining in the fun.

[The World Government] wants to clear the area.

However, the current prestige of the [World Government] is not enough to scare away everyone.

[CP] The organization and the navy took strong action a few times, and then left it alone.

The most urgent task is the [pure gold] that the [Celestial Dragons] have been thinking about, which is more important.

[Cyberpunk] in [South China Sea] took the opportunity to reap a wave of benefits.

Submarines, diving suits, oxygen tanks, sonar devices, etc. are on sale.

[Cyberpunk] is stepping up production, but demand still exceeds supply.
