The Lin Yuan was Lin Yuan himself, and he could handle many things with a single thought.
Moving supplies into the warehouse, for example.
But although the Phantom Lin Yuan was a phantom, it was no different from a real ship.
Many things required manual labor.

Naturally, Zhang Da and the others were the first people Lin Yuan thought of.
