Ocean Lords: Start Harvesting Double from Dice Rolls

Sky Dome Technology was the largest weapons manufacturer on the South Island Continent.

Their internal business covered not only arming sea vessels and producing all kinds of modified Scrolls, but also a vast amount of military equipment manufacturing. Whether it was Alchemy-based technology, Magic forging, or purely technological components, Sky Dome Technology had a hand in it all.

Many of the wars fought by the South Island military in the past had relied on weapons supplied by Sky Dome Technology, sweeping through the battlefield with overwhelming advantage.

The old man had also opened the door of convenience for Sky Dome Technology, waiving many of their taxes; the two sides could be said to have a mutually beneficial relationship.

At this moment, Fang Yu walked all the way forward and soon arrived at the entrance of the high-rise where Sky Dome Technology was located in the city center. Seeing the endless stream of customers—among them not only Blue Star Navigators but also local natives coming here to purchase equipment—Fang Yu did not hesitate and directly stepped into Sky Dome Technology’s storefront.

He turned his gaze toward the greeter to the side and was just about to speak.

Right then, a familiar figure came toward him. After seeing Fang Yu, the person couldn’t help exclaiming, “Fang Yu, my little bro!”

Fang Yu was stunned. “Mr. Wang? What are you doing here?”

This person was none other than Wang Yuanwei, who had just performed Magic enhancement on Fang Yu’s sea vessel.

Seeing Wang Yuanwei appear in the lobby of Sky Dome Technology, and noticing that he was even wearing Sky Dome Technology’s R&D work uniform, Fang Yu couldn’t help speaking in shock.

“Huh, I’m the one who’s wondering what you’re doing at Sky Dome Technology.”

Mr. Wang looked completely surprised, then pulled Fang Yu to the side. The two spoke in low voices, exchanging their experiences over this period.

Fang Yu also learned why he would run into Wang Yuanwei at Sky Dome Technology.

It turned out that after Wang Yuanwei finished his trip to the Treasure Mound, he holed up alone in the Alchemist Association, doing research and digesting what he’d gained.

But after Alchemy leader Yuanqi escaped his confinement, the Alchemist Association had actually begun to undergo some internal changes.

A portion of the Alchemists were still, on the surface, law-abiding good citizens and diligent, conscientious Alchemists.

Yet in secret, they had quietly thrown in their lot with Alchemy leader Yuanqi.

Yuanqi happened to be very interested in Wang Yuanwei’s Treasure Mound inheritance. Although under the supervision of the Ocean Court he could not openly seize it, nor easily expose his covert lines within the Alchemist Association…

He still secretly spied on Mr. Wang’s research results in the dark.

Once or twice was still tolerable.

But as time went on, even if Mr. Wang were more slow-witted, he still sensed that something was off.

So Mr. Wang decisively stopped his research. Afraid something might happen to him, he hurriedly went to find Lu Kun and hid once again in the secret manor Lu Kun had previously arranged for him.

If it had just been that, Mr. Wang turtling up and staying honest would still have been fine.

But first of all, after receiving the inheritance, Mr. Wang needed to combine knowledge with practice; he had to constantly work on Alchemy Seal Patterns to make progress.

On the other hand, he had already stayed in that manor before; staying there too long was inevitably boring and stifling.

So Mr. Wang decisively sought help from Lu Kun.

As it happened, after the Ji Clan Trading Association took over the military factory, they naturally couldn’t avoid having business dealings with Sky Dome Technology, the largest arms manufacturer on the South Island Continent. Lu Kun had a sharp eye: catching a glimpse of the Seal Pattern notes Mr. Wang had scribbled on his drafts, he immediately realized that this guy had probably already broken through to Advanced Alchemist level, with extraordinary skill.

If he stayed in the Ji Clan Trading Association doing R&D, it would likely be a case of great talent being underused.

So Lu Kun decisively introduced Mr. Wang into Sky Dome Technology, where he became a research staff member.

And judging from the way the surrounding staff looked at Mr. Wang, Fang Yu estimated that this guy was highly valued within Sky Dome Technology and held a pretty high position.

“Not bad, you sly dog—you switched jobs without saying a word?”

Fang Yu was a bit surprised, looking Mr. Wang up and down.

To be fair, with Mr. Wang dressed in this Advanced research personnel uniform, plus the boost in bearing that came from his deeper knowledge, he really did look the part now.

“Come on, what’s the big deal?”

“You might not believe it, but the salary Sky Dome Technology is paying me is more than ten times what I got at the Alchemist Association.”

“They even registered technical patents for me. Your buddy here is already a rich man now!”

Wang Yuanwei bragged in a money-grubber’s tone, then suddenly seemed to remember something. He snorted and looked at Fang Yu with dissatisfaction:

“Back in Lanyun Sea Country I wanted to tell you about this, but a few days went by and I barely even saw your face.”

Fang Yu paused, then recalled how he had been under persecution from the Sovereign of Lanyun Country at the time, living in constant anxiety and frantically secluding himself to increase his strength.

It was true that after Mr. Wang arrived, he hadn’t really spoken much with him.

“Things were pretty dangerous back then, I couldn’t help it. How about this—after your shift tonight, it’s on me. Let’s find a little tavern and have a drink!”

Fang Yu said.

“Deal. If you’re paying, I’m definitely coming!”

Wang Yuanwei replied with a grin, then his expression changed slightly as he asked, “Right, what are you doing here? Come to buy equipment?”

“No, I’m here to see your boss, talk about a military sponsorship deal.”

Fang Yu replied softly, briefly explaining the task the old man had entrusted to him.

“So that’s it.”

Wang Yuanwei suddenly understood, then called over a reception lady and pointed upstairs. “A-Rui, take my buddy to see my boss.”

With Mr. Wang’s clearance, Fang Yu soon got up, made a quick appointment with Mr. Wang for the evening, and then followed the reception lady upstairs toward the president’s office of Sky Dome Technology.
