Ji Chen tapped his finger on the table and said, “It’s okay if we don’t have enough resources for now. We can start building gradually, one step at a time. I’ll figure out the resources for the future.”

“Understood, I’ll coordinate the manpower as soon as possible,” Wilus nodded and asked, “So, where should we build it?”

Ji Chen thought for a moment and replied, “Build it on the west side of the Lord’s Castle by the coast.”

The Crown of the Ocean was centered around the Lord’s Castle. The best development was on the east side with a bustling port area, while the north side was an industrial area with many workshops and warehouses. The only relatively open space near the Lord’s Castle was on the west side.

Apart from scattered cottages, there were some jungle plantations in the area. However, these could all be relocated to make space for wonders.

Wilus nodded in understanding. It was indeed one of the few good plots of land left.

He then presented several matters that required Ji Chen’s decision, and after careful consideration, Ji Chen gave clear instructions.

By the time everything was completed, two hours had already passed.

“…That’s all for now. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go and attend to the tasks you assigned me,” Wilus respectfully said, ready to leave. However, he was stopped by Ji Chen’s words.

Wilus looked at the golden liquid on the table with a hint of surprise, “My Lord, what is this?”

Ji Chen smiled slightly. “Consider this bottle of Water of Life elixir as a reward for you. I hope you will continue to contribute to the Crown of the Ocean.”

Wilus hesitated for a moment. Although he didn’t know what Water of Life was, just by smelling the scent emanating from the bottle, he felt a burst of excitement in his body, indicating that this was no ordinary item.

Gratitude appeared on his face. “Thank you, My Lord, for your generosity!”

In the hall, only Ji Chen remained. Before he could catch his breath, the door suddenly swung open, and a short and stout figure entered.

“Kid, I heard you killed a lot of ocean dragons this time!?”

Ji Chen lowered his gaze and saw the dwarf Thotmudo stride in, his beard on his chin as unkempt as ever.

Ji Chen couldn’t help but smile.

“Yes, Sir Thotmudo, but this time I didn’t bring back any wine for you.”

Thotmudo climbed onto a chair and sat down, casually saying, “It’s okay, you still have plenty of wine in your warehouse… I came here because I want the dragon tendons from those ocean dragons to make some dragon-hunting crossbows.”

“Dragon-hunting crossbows? Is that a dwarf weapon?”

“Yes, it’s a 5-star defense weapon that happens to require dragon tendons as materials. It’s extremely powerful… You can decide whether to give them to me or not. If you do, I’ll help you make them; if not, forget it.”

Seeing Thotmudo wanting to explain but finding it too troublesome, Ji Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Of course, you can ask Wilus for them. Sir Thotmudo, you’re already a part of the Crown of the Ocean, and you’re trustworthy. You don’t need to come all the way here to ask me. Just have an apprentice inform us directly.”

Thotmudo immediately straightened his face upon hearing this and appeared a bit impatient, “Alright, since you’ve agreed, I’ll go get them. I don’t want to go onto the surface any longer, so I can avoid those pointy-eared folks.

If you have any business, go to the underground workshop to find me. That’s it.”

With that, Thotmudo hopped off the chair and made his way to the door, moving with a noticeable spring in his step compared to when he had entered.

Ji Chen shook his head with a smile.

After a short break, he got up and walked out of the Lord’s Castle, heading to the water area where the recruitment camps for ocean units were located. There, he placed five new recruitment camps for the Heavy Armor Toothfish Knights.

[Heavy Armor Toothfish Knight Recruitment Camp]

[Tier]: 6th Tier, 2 stars / 5th Tier, 8 stars

[Weekly Recruitment Limit]: 10

[Current Available Recruitment]: 10

[Recruitment Cost]: 20 units of Spirit Crystals

Similar to the Sea Crystal Wyrm, each Heavy Armor Toothfish Knight Recruitment Camp could recruit 10 units per week. With five camps, that was 50 units, which equaled to a thousand units of Spirit Crystals.

Adding to the Sea Crystal Wyrm, recruiting these two 6th-tier units required a total of two thousand units of Spirit Crystals every week, equivalent to several hundred thousand rare resources.

Looking at it this way, even if he needed to allocate some Spirit Crystals for constructing the Wonder blueprint, the sixty thousand Spirit Crystals he just acquired should be able to support him for quite some time.

Ji Chen casually opened the unit talent tree and navigated to the pages for the Sea Crystal Wyrm and the Heavy Armor Toothfish Knight.

[Sea Crystal Wyrm (6th Tier, 2 stars)]

[Upgrade to 6th Tier, 7 stars requires three hundred thousand units of Spirit Crystals]

[Heavy Armor Toothfish Knight]

[Upgrade to 6th Tier, 6 stars requires two hundred and seventy thousand units of Spirit Crystals]

My goodness, this is insane!

Seeing the string of zeros and the astronomical amount of Spirit Crystals needed, Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel a headache coming on.

When would he ever be able to collect several hundred thousand Spirit Crystals? Even the entire Spirit Crystal inventory of an entire principality of Elves was only sixty thousand. It seemed like he’d have to find a Spirit Crystal vein to mine in order to gather that many.

It appeared that upgrading the units was going to be a long and challenging journey.

Just as Ji Chen was about to close the unit talent tree, he suddenly noticed an inconspicuous page at the end.

[Unit Fusion]

Hmm?

When did this appear? Why was he not aware of it?
