Four different units merged into two new Tier 6 units, and the fusion results were generally satisfying, with overall improvements.

After the unit fusion, the recruitment camps for these units needed to be merged as well.

There were ten Water Nymph Archers and ten Lobster Guardian Knights, which could be combined to form ten new recruitment camps.

Tyrant Azure Dragons had six camps, while Silver Sea Pixies had seven camps, resulting in a maximum of six new camps.

Ji Chen clicked the fusion button, and sixteen brand new recruitment camps were instantly created.

The Lobster Nymph Spirit Archers produced 10 units per camp per week, totaling 100 units. Each unit required 18 units of Spirit Crystals, meaning they needed 1800 units of Spirit Crystals per week.

The Leviathan Dragons also produced 10 units per camp per week, totaling 60 units. Each unit required 20 units of Spirit Crystals, so they needed 1200 units of Spirit Crystals per week.

Altogether, these four Tier 6 units required a total of 5000 units of Spirit Crystals per week, significantly increasing the consumption rate of the available stockpile of tens of thousands of Spirit Crystals.

Ji Chen shook his head, realizing that resources, no matter the phase, seemed to always be a concern. What was once ordinary resources, then rare resources, had now become high-tier Spirit Crystals. It appeared that resource management was a constant challenge.

Without hesitation, he began the recruitment process.

The number of troops increased once again, with the remaining four Tier 5 units gaining an additional 140 units each.

However, one camp of Tyrant Azure Dragons remained unused as it was no longer needed after obtaining Leviathan Dragons.

As for the four Tier 6 units, the Leviathan Dragons increased by 60 units, the Lobster Nymph Spirit Archers by 100 units, the Sea Crystal Wynns by 50 units, and the Heavy Armor Toothfish Riders by 50 units.

In total, the Tier 6 units amounted to 360 units, roughly equivalent to three and a half Centurion squads. Although their numbers were relatively small, their combat capabilities surpassed thousands of Tier 5 units.

After this round of adjustments, the resource stockpile saw a significant decline. The unit fusion consumed two million units of rare resources, while recruiting the Tier 5 units used up 777,000 units of rare resources.

Over the past week, the Ocean Crown had received an additional 450,000 units of rare resources through exports, adding an extra 100,000 compared to before. However, considering the massive consumption, this was merely a drop in the ocean. Currently, there were around 3 million units of rare resources remaining, along with 61,500 units of Spirit Crystals.

Resource usage remained a pressing issue, but Ji Chen believed that with some more time and the recovery of the Starshine Islands from the damage caused by the Sea Beast Tide, the Ocean Crown would receive an infusion of resources. The official exploration of the Great Luminescent Sea’s Abyssal Layers of Darkness was about to begin on a large scale, which would also bring in a substantial amount of rare resources and Spirit Crystals. Leysha’s wine was about to enter the market, and the stockpile of Dwarven weapons could be shipped to the market soon.

With patience, he believed that the Ocean Crown’s various industries would experience explosive growth in output values. Eventually, achieving weekly gains of millions of rare resources would no longer be a fantasy.

After recruiting the new units, Ji Chen headed to the port on the eastern side of the main island.

Looking eastward from the port, he could see an island not too far away, where construction was underway, and a tower-like structure was gradually taking shape in the center.

This island was the giant turtle’s shell. Since Ji Chen had helped him lift the curse and signed a hundred-year contract, the giant turtle had come to the New Moon Islands. It peacefully floated in the sea, allowing the residents of the Ocean Crown to work on its back.

According to Wilus, the giant turtle had been sleeping soundly since it arrived at the New Moon Islands, without any interruptions. With the curse no longer tormenting it, the giant turtle’s vitality gradually recovered, and its lifespan extended for thousands of years. A few days of sleep here and there was nothing significant.

Looking at the completed base of the giant tower, Ji Chen felt delighted. He could already envision the day it would be finished, standing at the tower’s top while the giant turtle carried him across this vast ocean.

When Ji Chen arrived at the port, it naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Among them were the residents of the Ocean Crown and some long-distance merchants who had heard of the Ocean Crown’s existence.

Lein, the merchant who had unintentionally arrived here due to the attack by Lord of the Waves, had returned to Lienhardt as promised. He used his connections to spread the word about the Ocean Crown’s existence, which surprised many long-distance merchants.

For these merchants who spent years traversing the seas, having a comfortable transit point and resupply station in the vast ocean was a dream come true. Even if it required spending some money, it was well worth it.

Therefore, in the few days before Ji Chen headed to the Maple Principality, there were sporadic visits from merchant ships to the New Moon Islands, stopping for rest and replenishing supplies like food and freshwater.

As for pricing, Ji Chen took inspiration from the costs on Earth, such as docking fees, layover fees, supply fees, accommodation fees, and more.

Of course, the charges here were quite reasonable but around 20% higher than other Western Mid-Ocean ports.

In the beginning, some merchants expressed dissatisfaction, but Wilus was firm and didn’t back down, telling them to take it or leave it.

The merchants had no room for complaints in this situation. With the excellent services and pleasant environment, including food and beverages, they felt quite comfortable. They only had to endure the absence of prostitutes.

However, when they arrived at the Ocean Crown, they couldn’t help but feel shocked. Here, there were not only humans but also sea races, half-orcs, lizardfolk, and even elves. Some even claimed to have seen dwarves..
