It has to be said that He Feng is currently facing such a dilemma.

After this incident, White Raven City must be sparing no effort in searching for their whereabouts.

Being hunted by an enemy with a fortress that is almost a second-tier fortress makes one feel somewhat unworthy of their position.

During their second encounter, White Raven City did not act rashly; otherwise, with their overwhelming strength, the Azure Ship would have had no chance of escaping.

This is very problematic. Why didn't they just find a reason to detain them here? Instead, they were just casually placed in the team as if nothing had happened.

After all, in Yan Ruxue's words, she and Sanqi were incredibly valuable.

But it's really hard to understand why he's here so lively and energetic.

He Feng pouted and fell into deep thought. When he got to the point of deep thought, he slammed his hand on the desk.

It's impossible for a scene of conscience suddenly breaking down to exist; it's too contradictory!

He frowned slightly, put his hands behind his back, and paced back and forth in the lord's office.

After convincing myself to accept all the impossible and irrationalities, I can only come up with these two magical answers.

Either White Crow City is not very harmonious at the moment, and these high-ranking officials each occupy their own territory, this failure may be the result of their overreaching in their power struggle!

Either they have other intentions and want the Azure to continue according to their script.

Both point to a crisis situation where they may be completely devoured.

He Feng sighed softly, his worries suddenly rising.

The only way to escape this predicament is to develop the Blue Ship's core capabilities.

Having enough power before clamoring to overthrow fate is what a normal person would do.

The most direct way is to quickly build a second-tier Icebreaker, go to the Black Abyss Sea, and become a cowardly turtle living in constant fear of losing its life.

This is also his top priority in preparing for the current project.

The main material, first-grade precision forged steel, requires ten times more ordinary steel, which translates to nearly 2000 tons of ordinary steel – an unimaginable number.

The unnamed, stranded fortress in Black Dragon Bay could provide a large amount of steel, and increasing the recycling of its steel resources could potentially allow for the stockpiling of enough steel to meet demand.

Similarly, the five steam cores needed to upgrade the fortress, including the ones that come with the fortress, are still not enough, as I currently only have two.

Upgrading requires more than three times the size of the original fortress, and he'll have to work his head to fix such a huge steel hole.

Therefore, it seems that the matter of advancing to the next level can indeed be put on hold, and going to the Black Abyss Sea for further study is quite a good choice.

Having an intelligence system to provide early warnings allows them to stay away from inescapable predicaments, which is the source of He Feng's confidence in making such a boast.

While the intelligence system is undoubtedly important, it should not be relied upon entirely and requires some consideration.

At this moment, the buzzing in He Feng's mind rang again, making him rub his hands together impatiently.

[Intelligence 1. In this monster swarm operation, fifteen Tier 1 drifting fortresses, including the White Wolf, Beechwood, Mayfly, and Mad Shark, have perished, far exceeding the average of three ships lost in previous accidents. The surviving refugees have all been taken in by White Raven City.]

[Intelligence 2. Climate Anomaly! A massive cold wave is expected to arrive ahead of schedule. In five days, the entire sea surface of the sedimentary sea area will be frozen solid, and its thickness will require a second-class icebreaker to break through.]

[Intelligence 3. A group of Ice Sea Nomads have set up a trading market on the ice floes directly in front of you. They will be selling Tier 1 creatures—the Thunder Eels—priced at 10 pounds of mud per male and 20 pounds of mud per female. Furthermore, their simple multi-tools are in serious malfunction and urgently need to be replaced.]

[Intelligence 4: The Black Abyss Sea is fraught with danger. If you go there, please have at least six Tier 2 items. This will be the foundation for your survival.]

The four intelligence reports were much more reliable than the previous ones, and the information they provided was very insightful and resonated with He Feng. Perhaps it was because Sanqi had trained him to be more effective.

He Feng smiled dismissively at the first piece of intelligence.

Acceptance? Unexpected?

Do you really think he's an honest person?

The death rate jumped fivefold; anyone with eyes can see who's behind it.

Based on the previous intelligence, He Feng roughly guessed that the other party was short of offerings again, and the shortage was still quite large.

This is genuinely not even an act.

After a brief moment of silence for the White Wolf that had accompanied them, He Feng put away his sorrowful feelings of sympathy for the departed.

My thoughts became clearer.

It's best to get as far away from White Raven City as possible now; that's the best guarantee for your own safety.

He Feng tacitly admitted that this intelligence report was "fake".

Having previously figured out a method that didn't require any information transmission, He Feng can now use Sanqi's abilities to update the intelligence again, all through telepathy.

It saved a lot of trouble.

Since it was the first time he had operated the intelligence targeting mechanism himself, he was unable to get answers to many of the in-depth questions he wanted to understand due to Sanqi's mental strength.

After much deliberation, he simply asked about the location of White Crow City.

This request was not rejected.

With a thought, He Feng's first intelligence report started loading again.

[Update Information: White Raven City is currently still carrying out final work in the Misty Sea, located 150 nautical miles south-southeast of Azure and Black Rock City. This information can be set as a permanent location, but it will occupy space in the early warning information. There is a 24-hour cooldown period when switching.]

The results filled He Feng with excitement, his lips curling into a wide smile, barely concealing his joy.

This is like having a third eye; with a full view of the map, how could he possibly lose?

As for the early warning intelligence, it doesn't really matter now. With the involvement of multiple resources, Azure's strength has undoubtedly reached the forefront of the Sandy Sea. I'm afraid no one in the entire Sandy Sea can surpass Azure.

and so.

Our current powerful ships and cannons are more than enough to destroy any scoundrel who dares to make visual contact with the Azure.

The second is the old-fashioned weather forecast, which doesn't require much attention. Having a second-tier icebreaker is only a matter of time, so a quick glance is enough.

The third piece of information was about transactions, and the special creature being sold, the Thunder Eel, caught He Feng's attention.

The Thunder Eel is a unique variant of the common electric eel in the icy sea. Each one is equivalent to a biological battery that stores electricity, and the storage capacity is astonishing.

Simply by feeding them meat, their bodies can produce a continuous stream of high-voltage electricity, making them a formidable fighting force in the fighting fish competitions on the icy sea.

However, He Feng had other plans.

If you could string together countless electric eels, they would no longer be ornamental fish.

That would be a small power plant, with surging electrical energy to power any electrical-powered objects in He Feng's hands, without needing to rely on the generator that requires Tier 2 technology to unlock.

Moreover, the Azure currently has a large amount of monster meat on board, so there is no shortage of feed.

This will allow the Blue Ocean to win at the starting line.

Under the threat of the second-order Tesla plasma cannon, the overwhelming thunder shattered any unwarranted illusions anyone might have about the Azure.

Speaking of which, He Fenggang had just confiscated one of these simple multi-tools, which could also be used to negotiate lower prices during transactions.

The fourth point, however, is a rare instance where the intelligence possesses subjectivity.

"Does having at least six Tier 2 items guarantee safety?"

He Feng felt a pang of melancholy and then sorted out his thoughts.

"It's okay, it will happen." He Feng cheered himself up again.
