The reason Ji Chen bought this bracelet was for Alice.

As a formidable mage, Alice’s strength spoke for itself.

With songs like the “Song of Temptation” and the “Song of War,11 she was held in high regard.

Her apparent weaknesses, however, were her melee combat and relatively weak defense.

In short, her low health and defense left her vulnerable once enemies got close.

The bracelet served to fill this gap, providing enough reaction time when facing powerful opponents.

Its appearance, resembling a jade bracelet, looked great on Alice’s fair wrist, complementing her elegance.

Upon receiving the bracelet, Alice s exquisite and radiant face showed a mix of surprise and joy, sending a few coquettish glances towards him.

The suggestive gaze hinted at certain intimate possibilities.

With this acquisition, Ji Chen felt that rhe 50,000 gold coins spent were truly worth it.

The other treasure he purchased was a treasure-level scimitar.

The blade gleamed with a chilling cold light, and its excellent handling and swing proved its extraordinary power.

[A formidable weapon of the Black Iron Dwarves, boasting deadly killing capabilities]

I Looking for the Mountain Dwarves? What does that have to do with us Black Iron Dwarves?]

Ji Chen planned to give this scimitar to Sparrow.

As one of his pirate heroes, even though Sparrow was only a green elite-tier hero, having a reliable weapon was essential.

He believed that this scimitar would significantly enhance Sparrow s combat prowess.

As for the building blueprints, there were no high-tier blueprints like the Elemental Arrow Tower acquired on the first day. They were all lower-star blueprints, with the highest being three stars.

Among them were blueprints for various living facilities, functional buildings, and some ordinary defense structures like watchtowers and basic arrow towers.

Despite the variety, the total number of blueprints was quite substantial, reaching dozens.

After calculating the total expenses for these purchases, Ji Chen couldn’t help but feel delighted.

All these items together cost approximately 290,000 gold coins, just a little short of the previous goal of 300,000 gold coins.

Just when Ji Chen thought he couldn’t reach rhe small goal, things took a turn.

On the morning of the fourth day, Ji Chen stood by the sh.o.r.e bidding farewell to I_LoveJBlack_Stockings.

l_Love_Black_Stockings looked reluctant.

“Big Boss Islander, are you leaving already? After spending so many days together, I find it hard to part with you.”

Seeing her expression, Ji Chen couldn’t help but respond with a touch of annoyance.

“Are you upset about me leaving or about the gold coins I gave you?”

1_Love_Black_Stockings was exposed by his remark and couldn’t keep up the act anymore, embarra.s.sedly touching her head.

This time, Ji Chen’s visit directly and indirectly brought her a profit of almost tens of thousands of gold coins, a considerable windfall.

If this happened a few more times, she would become a wealthy woman in no time.

Looking at the sky, Ji Chen realized that if he started heading back now, he would reach the New Moon Islands by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

All good things must come to an end. After staying on King Kong Island for almost a week and completing all the tasks, he had said what needed to be said. This trip had yielded substantial gains, and there was no reason to continue staying.

“It’s about time for me to leave. I hope that the next time we meet, you’ll become even stronger than you are now.”

Hearing this, I_Love_Black_Stockings also became serious, nodding and saying, “I also hope that you, Big Boss Islander…”

“Enemy incoming!!!’1

Before she could finish her sentence, a sudden alert sounded from the other side of the territory, causing I_Love_Black_S lockings’ expression to change.

At this moment, who would dare to attack her territory? It seemed impossible!

Ji Chen also furrowed his brows slightly. He hadn’t even left yet, and they dared to attack?

Soon, a group of soldiers hurriedly ran over, their expressions showing a hint of anxiety.

“What happened? Who are the enemies?”

The leading soldier looked somewhat puzzled and quickly reported, “Reporting, my lord, there is a large group of Half-Orcs approaching the territory, but it seems like they are not here to attack. They all appear to be weary and exhausted.” l_Love_Black_Stockings was taken aback and asked in confusion, “Half-Orcs? Aren’t those burly, simple-minded beings that usually live deep in the forests? Why would they appear near rhe coast?”

“Is the one leading them a small female Half-Orc with a striking resemblance to a human on the outside?” Ji Chen asked.

The soldier was surprised and said instinctively, “How did you know?”

Ji Chen smiled; of course, he knew. As expected, it was Lady Irona and her group.

Following his instructions, a group of disheveled and downcast Half-Orcs were brought in front of him.

Among them was Lady irona.

When Lady Irona saw Ji Chen, her face was filled with surprise and a sense of relief. However, as she noticed the ambiguous smile on Ji Chen’s face, a hint of embarra.s.sment flashed across her own.

She couldn’t help but recall how arrogantly she had rejected his invitation a few days ago, and now she came back in such a pitiful state. The embarra.s.sment overwhelmed her.

Taking a deep breath, Lady Irona knew this was not the time to dwell on such matters; there were more important things to attend to.

“Lord Ji Chen, 1…”

Seeing the embarra.s.sment on the face of this female Half-Orc that didn’t quire resemble one, Ji Chen took the initiative to ease the tension and spoke in a gentle and comforting tone.

“Now that you and your companions are here in front of me, it means you have accepted my invitation.”

“Don’t worry; I hold no grudges. My previous promises still stand; there’s no need to fret.”

His soothing words helped Lady Trona’s complexion to relax, and she finally felt some relief.

She couldn’t help but admire Ji Chen’s generosity and tolerance. Having a lord with such magnanimity was worth her loyalty and allegiance.

“Your Excellency, I have one final question,” Lady Irona said.

“Go ahead,” Ji Chen replied.

“In your territory… the Crown of the Ocean, are there other races besides humans?” Lady Irona inquired.

Ji Chen pondered for a moment and understood the reason behind her question.

“Besides humans, there are Kobolds, Cave People, and Sea Creatures. The Crown of the Ocean is a land that embraces tolerance and greatness, capable of accommodating any race for survival and prosperity,” Ji Chen explained. “Even Half-Orcs can integrate into it without any barriers.”

As soon as Ji Chen’s answer was given, Lady Irona’s last concern vanished completely. She immediately showed a respectful expression and kneeled to signify her allegiance.

“Your Excellency, we are willing to submit to you and become members of your domain…”

“We disagree!”

Suddenly, a discordant voice came from behind.

Lady Irona turned around with an expression of surprise and anger, rebuking, “Daro Tribe, we agreed that you would follow my decision, but what are you doing now!?”

A group of particularly strong Half-Orcs emerged from the crowd, displaying a domineering att.i.tude.

Observing this, Ji Chen squinted, remaining silent as he watched their performance.

The leader of this group of Half-Orcs was nearly 2.5 meters tall, with a physique twice as st.u.r.dy as the others. Their exposed bodies were covered in various scars from blades and axes, some recent and others old, with fresh blood still oozing from some. Among them, many seemed to be recent additions to their collection of injuries.

This group of Half-Orcs exuded a strong and fierce aura, clearly a bunch of battle-hardened warriors who considered their scars a mark of honor.

The leader of rhe Half-Orcs arrived before Ji Chen with bloodshot bronze eyes filled with lingering killing intent and ferocity.

Ji Chen’s mouth curled up slightly.

It seems that things have become quite interesting..
