There's no way those Water Ghosts could be targeting us again, right?

If so, I'd be out of options.

Before this, a batch of strange parts and components, which seemed entirely out of place for civilian equipment, had already arrived in Central Earth through Chen Xingzhou's connections, via the Desert Market channel.

As for what these items are actually used for, Coastal Industry is just a subcontractor; how could they know so much?

If you take them to assemble something and use a machine tool to cut a few rifling grooves, all we can do is to protest seriously and reserve the right to litigate, right?

And right after clearing out all the settlements in Hai Province, and incidentally annihilating all Water Ghosts daring to come ashore, before the rainy season even ended, news from Coastal Industry once again reached everyone.

This time, it wasn't some horrifying bad news or a strong, overbearing order, but merely a notification: For the convenience of transporting goods and products, while giving back to consumers and facilitating all wild settlements, Coastal Industry's wholly-owned subsidiary—Messenger Logistics, is officially open.

In addition to delivering goods, the main business also provides convenient online shopping for various settlements.

Besides placing orders online, thick product catalogs have also been delivered to every settlement, including not only Coastal's own merchandise but also many products from the city, whether daily necessities, medical supplies, or fruits and vegetables, all are available.

In terms of quality, while not exceptional, it certainly lives up to its price.

Just dial the 24-hour hotline number listed in the catalog to order, and by the next day, or at the latest within three days, a delivery person in a striking red uniform, riding a Coastal tricycle, will arrive at your door to deliver the goods.

In addition, while recruiting delivery personnel, another service is set to launch: the 'Cross-City Express', which is more convenient and cheaper compared to fleets, mainly targeting suburb-to-suburb delivery.

Currently, it only connects the central cities of Tide City and Cliff City, but it will later include Jiang City, Ship City, and other small cities, realizing a cheap logistics network throughout Hai Province.

Although the delivery fee is still not cheap, it's certainly more convenient and cheaper than large fleets and Flying Airships, mainly focusing on inexpensive handmade items or small goods, and fragmented letters.

As for losing items, there's no need to worry.

No one had previously been able to provide this service due, because the anthropomorphic ecosystem in the wilderness made it impossible to trust. But now, in the current wilderness of Hai Province, there's no stronger credit guarantee than the brand of Coastal Industry.

For any lost or damaged items, Messenger Logistics will compensate according to the agreed amount.

As for any partners wanting to cause trouble or those scavengers unable to resist temptation aiming for some side income... you'd better manage to escape the eyes of the ether.

With Ji Jue's relationship with the Tong family, regularly hiring a few Chosen Ones from the ether to keep an eye on things is definitely no problem.

As for profitability, he doesn't care as long as it doesn't suffer too much loss.

In the meeting, when Gou Er proposed this concept and idea, Ji Jue decisively adopted it and fully entrusted it to him for implementation, just when such a large amount of floating capital had no place to go.

Perfect timing to team up with the Tong family and the Lou family, everyone working together for big business!

The profitability is secondary; the key is a stable wilderness, which is the only way to have development potential.

While sweeping it all clean feels satisfying, if left unchecked, surely new toxic fruits of bad outcomes will sprout from the wilderness again. Better to offer these people, constrained by circumstances and unable to survive without doing evil, a new option.

Yes, it's tiring and hard, but is it any harder than starving, having bloodshot eyes, and waiting with a gun for a convoy to show up, hoping to die? Is it harder than crawling into a mining hole to gamble your life?

Anyway, I've got plenty of tricycles. The opportunity is right before you; whether you want to live with your head held high or sink into depravity, it's all up to you.

Moreover, through the presence of Messenger Logistics, we can gradually enhance Coastal Industry's influence over the wilderness, making this mess a little better...

Why not?

As for what the future holds, it's really hard to say. Either way, it's fine if it works out or not. Projects like these take a long time just to prepare, and Ji Jue doesn't have the energy to keep an eye on it every day, leaving it all to Gou Er to push forward.

On the afternoon of the same day, a ship from the North Wind Workshop arrived at Xinquan, and the apprentice who came along brought back the soul that Pacquiao had used up, along with a few pieces of news from the Seven Cities.

Each more exaggerated than the last, things like the demise of a reoccurring villain in the Seven Cities, how a Colonel expertly and decisively captured a bandit leader, how the Seven Cities Defense's Water Ghosts were terrified and so on.

It seems Lu Feng's friends and family have already started mobilizing for publicity; if everything goes smoothly, by the end of the year, a young General in the Seven Cities Defense's navy will be appointed.

Lu Feng dared to bet, this was definitely the most worthwhile moment for his obedient grandson to call him grandpa in his entire life.

In comparison, what is drawing more attention is the Seven City Alliance's ambiguous stance when the northern cities called for support; they only offered vocal support... No one knows what kind of deal was made with the Northern Realm, but it seems Yellow Beard's trip was not wasted.

A day later, news came from the fallen leaves.
