“I’m going to do it now, I’m going to do it now, ahhhh!! Please spare me, Master, I know I was wrong!!!”

Ji Chen paid no attention to its pleas, his expression indifferent as he watched it suffer, not stopping until ten minutes later.

At this point, the entire Kraken, like a pile of mud, convulsed and sank into the sea, as if it were dead.

It took several minutes for it to recover and resurface again.

But its eyes were now filled with fear and reverence, not daring to be unruly, its tentacles hanging in the water obediently.

Ji Chen remained indifferent.

“My patience is very limited, and 1 don’t want there to be a next time.”

“There will definitely be no next time, I’ll go east when you tell me to go east, and I’ll go west when you tell me to go west!!”

The Kraken hastily replied, completely devoid of its previous wildness.

Seeing this, Ji Chen’s expression eased slightly. This octopus had clearly learned its lesson. It had dared to defy his orders, and it would need a good lesson to understand who was the master and who was the servant.

“Go now, thoroughly search all the deep sea and underwater areas within the Stormy Sea, use your own aura to drive out any hidden sea beasts, and also search for underwater resource points, sunken ships, and any suspicious places.”

“Yes!”

The Kraken shook its body and tentacles, quickly diving into the water like a mouse.

As the opening time of the Ocean Crown approached, Ji Chen also decided to launch a special cleanup operation.

Only a relatively safe and stable environment could provide the conditions for trade development. He wasn’t afraid of shipwrecks due to extreme sea conditions within the Stormy Sea.

But the sea beasts that lurked in the depths of the ocean and occasionally attacked from the sea surface posed another threat.

The deep-sea environment was incredibly complex, with numerous trenches, seabed rock formations, basins, and underwater forests crisscrossing each other. The difficulty of cleaning them up was visibly significant.

But Ji Chen couldn’t just sit idly by.

The arrival of the Kraken provided an opportunity to address this problem. Since the Kraken could trigger sea beast tides, it could naturally also drive away and deter the sea beasts hidden in the Stormy Sea, forcing them to leave or face annihilation.

Ji Chen hoped that the Stormy Sea would become a safe zone on the prosperous maritime route, and the New Moon Islands would become a shelter for many merchant ships, which would greatly benefit the development of the Ocean Crown.

For this purpose, he had instructed Wilus to build some guest rooms and basic infrastructure near the port for foreign merchants, preparing for future openness and trade.

The Ocean Crown possesses various industries, but it still needs some time to fully develop. Export income has been in a slow growth situation.

The meager weekly income of a few hundred thousand rare resources could no longer satisfy Ji Chen’s appetite. It was not even enough to cover the weekly recruitment expenses for troops. Therefore, opening up was a necessity.

Back in the Lord’s Castle, he once again summoned Wilus.

He inquired whether there were other industries that could be developed in the Ocean Crown or ways to increase income.

Ji Chen could have a comprehensive understanding of the Ocean Crown through the system panel, but when it came to the details of various aspects, Wilus, the chief administrative officer, was undoubtedly more knowledgeable. Upon hearing this question, Wilus pondered for a moment and said, “My Lord, do you remember the merchant who came from the Kingdom of Ugisai in the Southern Continent, by the name of Ari Camp?”

Ji Chen nodded, of course, he remembered. Ari Camp, with a golden mask, looked more like a nobleman’s son than a merchant.

“We might open a route to the Southern Continent through this local merchant. I believe that for the sake of generous profits, merchants from the Northern Continent will travel all the way to the Southern Continent.

Given the current circumstances, once the Stormy Sea is accessible, the New Moon Islands will play a crucial role as a supply hub for ships traveling between the Maple Principality, the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, and the Western Continent. If we can establish a dependable route, the New Moon Islands will also serve as a convenient stopover point between the Maple Principality and the Southern Continent, which will lead to a boost in our revenue.”

Ji Chen nodded repeatedly. This made a lot of sense. Compared to the journey to the Lienhardt Grand Duchy, the journey from the Maple Principality to the Southern Continent would take much longer, at least half a month for a one-way trip by sailboat.

What’s even more important is that there is currently no reliable route from the Maple Principality to the Southern Continent.

The Middle Ocean was not a place where one could travel freely. Strange thunderstorm areas, powerful sea beast habitats, rampant sea beast territories, and active pirate zones, among other things, had created no-go zones in the Middle Ocean. If one were to roam around carelessly, he’d become sea beast dung or pirate food in no time.

Wilus, seeing Ji Chen’s agreement, nodded and continued, “If we can have that Southern Continent merchant named Ari Camp lead the way and send reliable and experienced explorers to accompany him to map out a safe and navigable route, the route might be successfully established.”

The latter condition wasn’t difficult. The Radiant Commerce Guild in the Starshine Islands had many experienced sailors and captains, and a few strong men could be recruited to set sail.

However, Ari Camp had already gone to the Maple Principality, and now they didn’t know where he was. Finding him might take some effort.

Ji Chen rubbed his chin and continued to ponder..
