"We've arrived."

Luna stopped in her tracks after passing the Skeleton Swordsman Barracks in front of the Dock Area.

Gu Xi pushed the Cold Wind Staff against the ground, using the force to stand up on the Evil Coffin.

Gu Xi discovered that in just a few days, the Dock Area in front of him had undergone tremendous changes.

Although the original Dock Area was located by the river, it still had some solid land.

But this time, Gu Xi facing had become the streets and alleys of the river, and it felt less like a replica of Victoria City and more like a replica of the Water City Venice.

Even behind the Skeleton Swordsman Barracks, there was a small dock, and several small wooden boats were moored there.

"What's going on?"

Gu Xi jumped off the Evil Coffin, looked up at Luna, and asked, "The reason for the regional collaboration?"

"Not entirely. There's also the Walrus Graveyard that was brought in before. When it was brought in, half of the lake was diverted in, turning the Dock Area into this."

"Is there no way to change back?"

"There's no way around it. The Walrus Graveyard has already been incorporated into it. But thankfully, the Dock Area is still there, and all the various large, medium, and small plots are still there. In addition, a new Auxiliary Building has been provided, which is a Small Pier that can accommodate a wooden boat."

Now, Auxiliary Building in the city no longer have to be streetlights.

"Well then, as long as it doesn't affect the city, how do we get there now? By boat?"

Gu Xi glanced at what lay ahead. The road had been washed away by the water, and the small boats nearby were clearly just decorations. Gu Xi didn't think these boats would be of any use now.

"No need, sir, there's a bridge over there."

Luna pointed in another direction, Gu Xi discovered that there was a small wooden bridge there.

After crossing the bridge, you enter the Dock Area, which is already interconnected with other areas.

The area immediately upon entering is Dock Warehouse comprised of many wooden houses.

Before Gu Xi could stop, several people rushed out from inside the dock.

The leader was a Bald Head, burly man, but Gu Xi knew from his eyes that he was a Zombie.

Behind him was a group of strong, muscular zombies whose gray skin made their movements quite strange.

"My lord, you have arrived."

"Kane, the manager of the Dock Warehouse."

Gu Xi immediately understood that this was a being similar to the Wine Maiden, a gift given when constructing Core Building.

He glanced at Kane, and relevant information immediately popped into his eyes.

Building Name: Dock Warehouse

Level: 1 (upgradeable) Feature: Can store 30,000 units of Negative Energy.

It can store 3000 units of food, 1000 units each of wood, stone and metal, and 100 units each of mercury, sulfur, Soul Crystal and gemstone.

It can store 100 sets of weapons and equipment, and 300+1000 bottles of various medicines.

Dock effects are stored here first.

[Dock Warehouse Manager: Kane (Level 1) Trait Influence: Meticulous: Can issue tasks to idle soldiers and residents in the city to find herbs for him.

Knowledgeable: Can be responsible for identifying herbs, medicines and some magical items, and can ask questions about related knowledge.

Pharmacist: The warehouse stock of potions has increased by 1000 bottles. Six bottles will be automatically replenished daily.

[Note: Kane's level is equivalent to that of the Dock Warehouse, and he has no combat ability. The only thing that can save his life is that he is immune to attacks while inside the Dock Warehouse.]

"Grown ups."

Kane politely bowed to Gu Xi.

After reviewing Kane's attributes, Gu Xi's attention fell on Kane's fingers.

There were indeed some traces of the medicine on his fingers.

"I can understand your meticulousness in managing the warehouse; after all, it's a necessary attribute of warehouse management."

I can understand that he is knowledgeable, since the materials entering the warehouse need to be inspected by people, and they need to have some identification ability.

But how could you possibly know a pharmacist's methods?

Kane grinned when he heard that.

"My lord, I was a pharmacist in my previous life, but I didn't have much talent. After I died, I was assigned to guard the warehouse. The only good thing is that I can deal with the extra herbs that are about to spoil in the warehouse myself."

That's nice. With just one sentence, "Handle it yourself, "Gu Xi understood why Kane was a pharmacist.

"Can the medicine you make using these nearly expired, spoiled herbs even be used?"

"The other potions may have problems, but the poison is definitely fine. They're undead, so using a little poison is perfectly normal, isn't it?"

Okay, this is a very honest dead person.

After making a certain assessment of Kane, Gu Xi took another stroll around the Dock Warehouse.

He discovered that the Dock Warehouse was actually composed of many small rooms.

Each room is used to store different supplies.

Each room has a corresponding environment. For example, the warehouse used to store mercury contains lead canisters instead of boxes.

Each room has its own unique characteristics, Kane handled everything very well in this regard.

"Well done."

After looking around, Gu Xi was quite satisfied with Kane's work. He patted Kane on the shoulder and said, "You've done a very good job in this area. I have high hopes for you."

What are your plans for the future? How can I upgrade the Dock Warehouse to level 2? Are there any other requirements regarding the job?

"Speaking of plans, I do have one. Our Dock Warehouse is actually linked with the three docks outside, but my situation here is not suitable for me to go to the docks and communicate with the sailors and captains."

I've been wanting to ask if it's possible to arrange for some people to come over. I'd like to ask the captain who comes in each week to bring me some things.

Gu Xi immediately recognized that this was the effect of Kane's meticulous and calculating nature.

Unlike the Wine Maiden, Kane had a different kind of obsession with collecting various resources.

Perhaps that's why he was able to become Warehouse Manager, while the Wine Maiden could only become Tavern Owner.

"Okay, I'll arrange this. For now, you'll manage the warehouse. Nothing else is important. The supplies are the key right now. Whether these supplies can be stored depends on your performance."

"Please rest assured, sir, with me here, the warehouse supplies will not be lost."

"Then I'll leave this place to you, Luna. Let's go take a look around the market."

After telling Kane to stop sending people, Gu Xi jumped onto the Evil Coffin, turned around, and headed towards the Dock Market.

The location of the Dock Market is still quite far from the Dock Warehouse.

There were almost three docks between the two places, and when Gu Xi went there, he also noticed the changes at the docks.

All three docks were now filled with the ships that had appeared this week.

There were still some people walking back and forth on the dock, and in some places, a fight even broke out. From a distance, it always gave the impression of being very busy.
