“Your Lordship, I would like to purchase a batch of your wine.”

“I’ll take a hundred barrels!”

“I’ll take three hundred!”

Ji Chen looked at them with a slight “surprise.” “But none of you have tasted the Crown of the Ocean wine yet.”

“We believe that the wine produced here must be of excellent quality,” a tall and thin merchant said with a flattering smile. “Besides, with the Druid’s expertise, I don’t think it’s a problem. Don’t you agree?”

“That’s right!” The other merchants nodded in agreement.

Another merchant added, “In addition to the wine, I would also like to buy a batch of your sea rice, fluorescent mushrooms, and other local specialties.”

With a legendary Druid overseeing the production, the prices were naturally higher. A barrel of wine was priced at one hundred units of rare resources, a price that some merchants initially found unacceptable.

Ji Chen looked at the smiles on the faces of these merchants and couldn’t help but guess their hidden intentions. However, he decided not to expose them and immediately agreed to their requests.

Being cultivated by a legendary-tier Druid naturally meant that these grapes were quite different from the common varieties found elsewhere, so the price was naturally higher.

The selling price for a barrel of wine was set at one hundred units of rare resources, a price that was undeniably high, and initially, the merchants openly stated that they couldn’t accept it.

However, Ji Chen did not back down. The Crown of the Ocean wine was clearly in high demand, and these merchants were eager to profit from it. As long as it carried the name of the Elves, they were confident it would sell, especially since this wine would be exclusive to nobles in various kingdoms and duchies, targeting the wealthy rather than the poor.

In the end, these merchants had no choice but to reluctantly accept the terms. They were already thinking about the prices at which they could sell the wine and make a substantial profit.

Ji Chen maintained a gentle smile on his face, but there was a genuine sense of satisfaction.

With each barrel of wine sold for sixty units of rare resources, at the current monthly production rate of five thousand barrels, the monthly revenue would amount to three hundred thousand units of rare resources. When Martino doubled the production, the monthly income would reach nine hundred thousand units of rare resources!

Selling wine alone would yield nearly a million in profit!

When the news spread that there was a Druid overseeing the island, other merchants rushed to the harbormaster’s office to buy the limited stock of wine. Many of them purchased hundreds of barrels, quickly depleting the five thousand barrels available.

Merchants who didn’t manage to secure enough wine wore regretful expressions but planned to return next month specifically to purchase more. While the wine had sold out, other specialties of the Crown of the Ocean also attracted the attention of these merchants. They soon realized that this relatively small New Moon Island had an abundance of unique products.

Seeing the bustling scene at the harbormaster’s office, Ji Chen felt a sense of gratification.

Over the past few months, the Crown of the Ocean had been steadily developing various industries, and today, it finally paid off. However, this was just the beginning. More merchants would come in the future, making the island even more prosperous and turning it into a shining gem in the middle of the ocean.

In the future, as more and more merchants arrive, the issue of safety and order becomes increasingly important. No merchant is willing to trade in a place where even safety cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, Ji Chen incorporated the Crab Guardians, Tyrant Azure Dragon, and Water Nymph Archers into the Guardian Legion, forming an independent unit known as the First Guardian Legion.

Previously, units like the Murloc Rangers and Ocean Guardians, which were Tier Three and Tier Four, were assigned to the Second Guardian Legion.

As the enemies grew stronger, units like the Murloc Rangers, which were Tier Three and Tier Four, became less useful. At most, they could serve as lookouts and protect against sea creatures. It felt like times had changed.

Little did they know that the units commonly used by players outside were generally in the Tier Three High-Star to Tier Four High-Star range. Under Ji Chen’s command, having Tier Five units was quite common, with only a few players possessing them.

Forming organized armies of a hundred or even a thousand with Tier Five units was even rarer.

Up to this point, Ji Chen had only seen a few guild leaders of medium to large-sized guilds, as well as independent players like Tian Shu who possessed organized armies of Tier Five units.

However, that was several days, even months ago. Players’ progress was astronomical, going from nothing to commanding thousands in just a few months. Ji Chen himself now had Tier Six units, and who knew what he and other players would become after a similar amount of time had passed.

Two days passed.

Perhaps because Miligas had already spread the news and the list of territories that had earned the “Elf-Friendly Territory” title, over the past two days, merchants from several “vassal states” of the Elves, including the Maple Principality, gradually arrived in the Stormy Sea. They docked at the Crown of the Ocean, bringing quite a bit of attention to this remote island.

If it weren’t for the Elf’s guarantee, most of them would find it hard to believe that such a prosperous territory existed in this forbidden sea area. When they heard that this territory was established by a Lord of Glory, they were even more surprised.

Many merchants wanted to meet this Lord of Glory, but they had to wait for days without a sighting. They were informed that he was currently not on the Crown of the Ocean..
