In terms of complexity of the imprints, intermediate imprints are much more complex than elementary imprints.
As for the military, when Kong Huaao returned to Qiyun Port, he began to integrate the military forces within the port, starting to assemble and prepare to issue tasks to counter the joint attack from the Divine Hall and Sin Domain.
The workload is no small feat, and whenever Fang Yu went to the military district to find Kong Huaao, Kong was always overwhelmed with tasks.
After all, this is the strategic planning for the entire war, from large objectives to small ones, and then breaking the objectives into individual tasks to be assigned to the Blue Star Captains.
The requirements for computational power and resource allocation are extremely high.
Seeing Kong Huaao too busy to pay him any attention, Fang Yu decided not to go to the military district for the time being.
After all, there's still a few days before the ship enchantments are completed.
During these few days, Fang Yu wasn't idle; he started to execute other tasks:
He previously promised to help the Ji Clan Trading Association reclaim the arms factory.
And after reclaiming the arms factory, to secure a legitimate identity for the Black Snake Gang leader, allowing the Lighthouse Association to move to Qiyun Port and become a legal organization.
So in these couple of days, the military was planning the war.
Wang Yuanwei was performing intermediate enchantments on the Salted Fish.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu was mediating the cooperation between the Black Snake Gang's leader and Lu Kun on the military industry, while subtly suggesting to Lu Kun to settle the subsequent investments.
At that time, Lu Kun had promised to provide intermediate enchantment configuration for Fang Yu's 50 ships.
How could a seasoned businessman like Lu Kun not understand Fang Yu's hint and immediately wanted to fulfill his promise to Fang Yu.
"However... buddy."
Lu Kun glanced toward the Alchemist Association's location and said in a low voice, "Recently, there haven't been any alchemists at Qiyun Port, so even if I want to fulfill the promise now, I'm afraid I can only give you intermediate enchantment scrolls."
The value of intermediate enchantment scrolls is much lower compared to those enchanted by an alchemist, likely only a fifth of the value of direct enchantment by an alchemist.
Correspondingly, the effects are also quite unstable and prone to errors.
Exchanging for intermediate enchantment scrolls meant Fang Yu would incur losses.
But...
This is a time of imminent large-scale warfare; any enhancement to the Sharp Blade Army would greatly benefit Fang Yu in the future, potentially snowballing into significant advantages.
This is a moving military merits and experience card; missing out on an enchantment would greatly diminish its effect.
If the enchantment can be done soon, that would be best, otherwise, it will have to wait until the Alchemist Association returns to normal and after the high ranks get accounted for by the Ocean Court, then there would be a chance for enchantment.
However... Fang Yu isn't someone willing to take a loss.
He glanced at Lu Kun and then said, "Alright, Mr. Lu, scrolls it is then."
"But you know the value of the scrolls, far lesser compared to direct enchantment by an alchemist. To make up for this value gap, why don't you just perform intermediate enchantments on 200 ships of the Sharp Blade Army."
The original condition was: 50 core ships to receive direct enchantment by an alchemist.
Now, Fang Yu changed the condition to: the entire Sharp Blade Army's 200 ships to receive enchantment scroll enhancements.
In terms of value, it's actually not too different, leaving Lu Kun with a hesitant expression.
"Come on, Mr. Lu, are you really hesitating? Given our relationship, are you that keen on taking advantage of me?"
Fang Yu looked at Lu Kun unkindly, snorting coldly, "Besides, I even introduced you to dealers from the Lighthouse Association. Though the Ji Clan Trading Association reclaimed the arms factory, all the downstream dealer networks were taken away by the vice-chairman, aren't you also troubled by the downstream dealer issue now?"
"I've helped you this far, and you're still hesitating?"
Fang Yu gave Lu Kun a sidelong glance with a face full of disdain.
"Ahem…"
"Well, buddy, don't rush me, it's just my occupational habit kicking in, subconsciously weighing the pros and cons."
"Alright, it's settled then, I'll have my people send over 200 intermediate enchantment scrolls to enhance your Sharp Blade Army's capability!"
Hearing Lu Kun's words, Fang Yu immediately smiled brightly, "See, our relationship is such that saying just 200 enchantment scrolls is nothing, even 500 should be no problem for you, Mr. Lu!"
500?
Lu Kun's face darkened, turning his head away, pretending not to hear.
You bastard...
