Time passed by minute by minute.
Finally, under the expectant gaze of everyone, a three-masted sailing ship, completely black and with a brand new purple pearl flag hanging on the main mast, rode the wind and waves, slowly sailed from the end of the horizon, and finally landed steadily beside the pier of the Vast Sea City Royal Pier.
Nan Feng stood on the bow deck, and behind him on the left side stood Zi Zhenzhu with purple hair and a neat outfit.
At the back right is the old soul emperor who was the only one in the Purple Pearl Island hall who dared to stand up and express his worries and concerns about Nan Feng's military rule.
In this group of pirates who only know how to kill and buy goods, and whose minds are full of muscles and desires, it is really not easy to find someone with a little foresight and brains.
Therefore, before Nan Feng left, he specially promoted this old man and asked him to serve as Zi Zhenzhu's deputy to assist her in handling the complicated reorganization and comfort work on the island.
As for the other powerful soul emperor leader on the island, he was left behind at Purple Pearl Island, responsible for sitting in the base camp and urging the forcibly incorporated pirates to continue smashing rocks and repairing fortifications.
As Zi Zhenzhu slowly docked, the pirate sailors on the ship lay on the side of the ship, looking down.
When they saw the five huge royal cargo ships at the Vast Sea City port that were as huge as sea fortresses, saw the boxes upon boxes of top-quality building materials, sophisticated weapons and food piled up on the pier, and even saw the Royal Knights who had only heard of them in legends enforcing martial law around them...
This group of pirates, who had been bandits at sea all their lives and had never seen so much wealth in their dreams, were all messed up in the wind.
An extremely unreal sense of absurdity emerged in everyone's hearts.
"Dear me... what the hell, can this really happen?!"
An old pirate swallowed his saliva, pinched his thigh hard, and grimaced in pain.
Although they were all subdued by Nan Feng's extremely terrifying force, deep down, this group of illiterate pirates were actually extremely skeptical about the grand plans that Nan Feng described on the island, such as "establishing a duty-free trade zone", "opening up the hub of interests between the inland and the ocean", and "monopolizing cross-sea routes".
There is no way, summer insects cannot speak of ice.
This group of pirates who can't even understand two-digit arithmetic have no idea what macroeconomics is!
They don't understand how astonishing the profit difference between sea freight and land freight is.
What's more, if there is an absolutely safe overseas transfer station that can affect the nerves of the two empires and all large chambers of commerce, the island itself will become an inexhaustible super gold mine!
In their inherent understanding, money can only be snatched away by holding a knife, going on a boat, and seeing blood on other people's necks!
Therefore, from the very beginning, they instinctively felt that the great plan that the new boss mentioned about "letting the emperors and suzerains in the mainland give us money to build the island" was probably just trying to spread the pie for everyone, or even just fooling them around when they had nothing to do.
But now...
Looking at the massive amount of supplies in front of me, which was almost crushing the port of Vast Sea City, and the big shots with apologetic smiles on their faces, they stood on the dock respectfully to greet them.
The pirates looked at each other, their poor brains running wildly, and finally came to what they thought was the most logical conclusion -
"Teacher, these supplies were probably obtained by you who broke into the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and robbed the old emperor, right?"
Zi Zhenzhu said with a strange expression.
"Bang!"
Nan Feng raised his little hand unceremoniously, and hit Zi Zhenzhu's smooth forehead with a loud and precise blow.
"Ouch!" Zi Zhenzhu covered his forehead, the pain was so painful that he almost shed tears.
"Put away those bandits who rob homes and homes in your mind!"
Nan Feng rolled his eyes at her angrily, and then turned his head sharply, with a pair of strange-colored double eyes with a cold chill, sweeping across the group of pirates on the deck who were poking their heads:
"Please cheer up! Stand tall!"
"From now on, you are Purple Pearl Navy who are in charge of maritime shipping, not just a bunch of people who go around robbing people! If anyone dares to cut off my chain here, or if anyone dares to show off the vicious pirate airs like before, I will be embarrassed in front of these big land patrons..."
Nan Feng raised a cruel sneer at the corner of his mouth, "You can give it a try. I guarantee that even wanting to die happily is a luxury."
Hearing this light threat, the pirates on the deck felt a chill rush from the soles of their feet to the sky. Everyone shivered violently, and an uncontrollable chill arose in their hearts.
No one dares to doubt whether this "Demon God Douluo" is trying to scare them.
"Yes! Don't worry, sir! We will never embarrass you!" The pirates all stood up straight, trying to tighten their rough faces that had been exposed to wind and sun all year round, trying to make themselves look like regular soldiers who abide by the law.
Nan Feng then withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and did not waste any more time. He took Zi Zhenzhu and Old Soul Emperor John off the pedal and arrived at the Royal Pier.
Ning Fengzhi and Prince Xue Xing immediately came up to them.
"This is Zi Zhenzhu, the manager of Purple Pearl Island from now on; this is Old Soul Emperor John, her deputy." Nan Feng casually introduced to Ning Fengzhi and others, "The two of them will be responsible for piloting this investment fleet on the next sea route."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and nodded to the two of them, and did not show the slightest contempt because of their former pirate status, showing the style of a great lord.
After the greetings, Ning Fengzhi did not delay and immediately ordered the fleet to prepare for departure.
Soon, the heavy anchor was pulled up. Under the leadership of Zi Zhenzhu, five royal cargo ships that looked like sea monsters slowly left the Vast Sea City port, facing the rising sun, and sailed in the direction of Purple Pearl Island.
Nan Feng, on the other hand, accepted the warm invitation of Ning Fengzhi and took Zi Zhenzhu with him to board the most luxurious flagship of this investment fleet.
Since Ning Fengzhi was cheated in the imperial study room before, Xue Ye was bleeding a lot this time in order to repair the rift between the royal family and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
These five large cargo ships loaded with supplies were jointly funded and prepared by the royal family and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Even including all the profits and gains after the completion of the Purple Pearl Island trade zone, Xue Ye has already discussed it with Ning Fengzhi in private. Heaven Dou Imperial Family and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will use an extremely fair "50-50 split" method to distribute the benefits.
Xue Ye knew very well that the development of Purple Pearl Island, even with the official endorsement of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, would still have to rely on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's absolute appeal in the business world in order for those large chambers of commerce to really spend money to take action.
On this continent, no one would doubt the vicious vision of the No. 1 sect in the world when it comes to business investments.
At this time, on the wide deck on the top floor of the flagship, the sea breeze was blowing gently.
Ning Fengzhi ordered someone to brew the best fragrant tea, and once again apologized to Nan Feng with utmost sincerity. "Senior, my previous offensive behavior in the Imperial Study Room has made me feel uneasy. Today, I would like to apologize to you again..."
"Okay, Ning Fengzhi."
Nan Feng leaned on the large recliner and waved his little hand to interrupt him, "I don't like to rehash old scores, and my brain doesn't like to deliberately remember those unpleasant things."
"As long as you don't deliberately cause that kind of thing again, I'm not interested in pursuing it."
Seeing Nan Feng being so crisp and clear, a stone in Ning Fengzhi's heart fell to the ground, and he quickly smiled and expressed his gratitude to his senior for his generosity.
After several cups of hot tea, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.
Ning Fengzhi looked at Nan Feng blowing in the sea breeze, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, but in the end he couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked tentatively:
"Your Majesty the Demon God, I have heard your Majesty mention that the rules of Sea God Island are extremely strict. After Sea God Island's Soul Master completes Lord Sea God's Sacred Pillar Trial, he will not be allowed to leave Sea God Island for the rest of his life."
"Then... your Majesty, what's going on with you?"
Nan Feng picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and replied calmly, "What's so strange about this? I haven't completed the assessment yet, so naturally I am not restricted by the rule of 'not leaving the island for life', and I can go to sea at will."
Speaking of this, Nan Feng glanced sideways at Ning Fengzhi: "What? From Ning Fengzhi's tone, are you interested in Sea God Island's assessment? Do you want me to make a recommendation? After Purple Pearl Island's port is built, you can also go to the island to try it?"
"This junior must never dare to have such thoughts!"
Ning Fengzhi quickly waved his hand and declined, saying with a wry smile, "Sea God Island Although it is a holy land on earth, we are still inland land Soul Master, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's foundation is on the mainland, it is really inconvenient to easily set foot overseas. Besides..."
Ning Fengzhi paused, with a hint of awe in his eyes. "Junior heard that the legendary Sea God Trial is extremely difficult and narrowly escaped death. With my meager auxiliary skills, I'd better not show my shame in front of Lord Sea God."
"Extremely difficult?"
Nan Feng put down the teacup, looked at the magnificent sea, and chuckled:
"The difficulty level of Sea God Trial is never fixed, but varies from person to person."
"In Sea God Island, the assessment task that some people receive may only be to pick up a specific shell on the beach; while the assessment task that some people receive requires them to go alone in the deep sea to single-handedly challenge a terrifying Sea Soul Beast that has lived for a hundred thousand years!"
"However, you can rest assured about one thing."
"The gods are high, but they are not blind. Sea God will never give a Soul Master a death test that he absolutely cannot complete."
"For those ordinary Soul Master, Lord Sea God who have mediocre qualifications but pure hearts and firm beliefs, they are extremely kind, and the assessment is just a formality; however, for those extremely talented people who even try to pry into the authority of the gods, but are lazy by nature or have impure thoughts..."
"Lord Sea God's harshness is definitely beyond your imagination!"
