Chapter 17: Epic Quality Crew Members Are Not Abundant
Epic quality crew members are not abundant; each one recruited means one less available.
Therefore, players who joined this game first are the luckiest.
Lena's eyes lit up; another epic quality crew member.
Her journey with Mina during this period made her understand the role of epic quality crew members in a team.
A precise cannoneer's deterrent power at sea is self-evident.
The subsequent voyage was smooth, arriving at Laite Island.
She handed over the wine to the shop owner, successfully earning a considerable income.
The owner said, "Our Laite Island has several specialties that the people of Cannonfire Town really like. You might as well buy some to sell back there; you're sure to make a fortune. If it weren't for pirates robbing along the way, I would also engage in sea trade."
Following the owner's advice, Lena purchased a batch of supplies and returned to Cannonfire Town.
She indeed earned a substantial income.
Compared to plundering pirate ships, trade could be more stable.
Because you don't know what kind of pirates you're plundering; most are quite poor, with dilapidated ships and few remaining supplies.
Pirate groups like Warren's are rare.
However, in the following period, player pirate ships gradually appeared in Cannonfire Town.
Players could also plunder each other.
Lena's attitude was simple: she would not actively attack others, but if someone tried to scheme against her, she would not be polite.
"Leni Goddess, I heard that pirate alliances can be formed. Form a pirate alliance, and we'll join!"
"Form a pirate alliance! We are all your loyal crew members!"
Lena replied, "You can only form an alliance at level twenty; I'm only level seventeen right now."
"No worries, we'll wait for you."
During this time, Lena accelerated her leveling pace.
Her goal was to form the first pirate alliance in Pirates of the Caribbean.
However, just as she reached level 20, she received a server-wide message.
[The first pirate alliance on the entire server, KT Pirate Alliance, has been formed!]
The world channel instantly erupted.
"Awesome!"
"Holy cow, that fast!"
"One look at the name and you know it's from the KT Team. I didn't expect them to also settle in Pirates of the Caribbean."
"The former world's number one team, defeated by the MG Team in the last Brave Warriors Battle, has switched tracks."
"What about the MG Team? Are they falling behind?"
[The second pirate alliance on the entire server, MG Pirate Alliance, has been formed!]
"Haha, I knew it."
"One after the other, only a minute apart."
At this moment, Lena was standing in the Alliance Center of Royal Port.
Royal Port, a neutral main city, where players cannot attack each other within the city.
Here there are Navy, pirates, adventurers, and merchants.
When players reach level twenty, they will receive a quest to go to Royal Port.
It is known for its accumulation of wealth and moral decay, dubbed the "richest and most evil" city.
Standing next to Lena was the captain of the KT Team, whose character name was Kilian Thiel
"Lena, our KT Team will take all the first places in this game."
After saying this, Aiden left.
The live stream instantly exploded.
"What a pompous guy!"
"What's so great? He just registered an alliance first!"
"Leni Goddess, don't be angry; we'll make him eat his words later!"
"This guy is too arrogant; what's so amazing about him?"
The bullet comments were all expressing indignation for Lena.
Lena smiled faintly, "It's nothing; taunting is common in competitions. I'm used to it."
Lena's plan was simple: first, complete the alliance registration, and then hand over the position of alliance leader to Jonas Keller once he reached level twenty.
Jonas's management and command abilities were beyond doubt; with him managing the alliance, it would be much easier.
Stepping out of the Alliance Center, she strolled around Royal Port.
Royal Port was very large, divided into four areas: commercial, entertainment, residential, and industrial.
Here you could buy any supplies you wanted, as long as you had money.
Even the Navy, you could bribe them if you had money.
At this moment, Lena noticed a soldier player standing on the street, muttering, "It's incredible! Royal Port has so many pirates, yet the Navy turns a blind eye!"
This player, named "Soren Wagner," was the captain of the SW Team, and he had just arrived in Royal Port.
"Is that you, Lena?" Bastian greeted Lena.
"It's me."
"Haha, I just saw the MG Alliance being formed and immediately guessed it was you. It's a pity we're not in the same faction; I'm in the Navy faction, and you're in the pirate faction, so a future confrontation is to be expected."
"Choosing a faction is everyone's freedom; as long as you have fun," Lena made a smiling expression.
"Haha, never mind that, I'm going to register the third alliance on the server."
Wagner laughed and entered the activity center, and soon after, news of the SW Navy Alliance's formation spread.
Soldiers and pirates, from the moment they chose these two professions, were destined to be opposites.
Besides the teams, various wealthy players also settled in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Although their leveling speed was not as fast as that of top professional players, they enjoyed the process.
"It's a pity there's no function to improve attributes by spending money; otherwise, I'd definitely be the number one on the server!" a wealthy player grumbled while fighting monsters.
Lena arrived at the tavern in Royal Port. The tavern was smoky and filled with all sorts of people.
You could see adventurers discussing their experiences in ruins, pirates boasting loudly, and soldiers drinking and brawling.
"That Jack Sparrow fellow, I heard he occupied Saint Croix Island. That guy sure knows how to stir things up!"
"His strength is evident; after all, Captain Jack is the Pirate King of the Caribbean!"
"I also want to occupy an island, but unfortunately, I don't have the capability."
This was the second time Lena had heard Captain Jack's name.
"Mina, Bruno, is there anywhere you'd like to go?" Lena asked.
Mina said, "I want to buy a new nautical map."
Bruno said, "If possible, I'd like to buy a flintlock. Having a weapon makes me feel a bit safer."
For Bruno, using cannons on the ship meant losing his sense of security once he disembarked.
So the three of them went to a nearby weapons shop.
The room was filled with various firearms.
There were flintlocks, blunderbusses, and even bird-beak muskets, among others.
Ultimately, Bruno chose a blunderbuss, and after hanging it on his body, he was all smiles.
"Thank you, Captain Leni!"
"You are my crew member; if you ever need anything in the future, just tell me. Oh, and I'll take you to the clothing store to get some new clothes!"
The three then went to the clothing store and each picked out their favorite outfits.
After dressing up, they looked brand new, their demeanor greatly improved, exuding the aura of great pirates.
