Chapter 185: The ship of ships

The arrival of the typhoon is seen by many people especially those of the guild. Those that had been told to clear the area. Of course, SKY Ocean Hunter raised the sub from the depths slowly allowing its beauty to captivate all who see it. The ships familiar shape makes the already popular trimaran pattern even more popular as the wings lend themselves to that design pallette. Alexi is getting inspired using every kind of looking glass at his disposal from his houseboat. He built himself one first before allowing the others to build a lesser version his is heavily modified and is in reality a small mobile factory from which he can build tier one boats. The houseboats are selling like hotcakes and have even made Alexi an apple in Medium Bunz's eye. 

Even further away a man, who Tyr would be shocked to see now, sucks on a Dryad nut looking at the glass holovid display. In front of him is something he can't understand. He can only assess the value of the Typhoon. His eyes know how to judge value and his still thick fingers crush another succulent Drayd nut into his mouth. He returned a week ago from levelling with the viper. He has lost almost twenty kilograms not that his body would show that. On top of that, he has finally entered the third tier. It was humiliating being carried by that venomous woman but it is already paying he would have been able to gain these levels himself in such a shirt at all. The aphrodisiac properties of the Dryad Nuts send him into a lustful rage starting with the young boy he struck. The boy's whimpers only add to his pleasure. 

SKY Ocean Hunter is gobsmacked the large ship is beyond anything he could have imagined. The structure on the surface looks like a small well-built port the shipyard has space for experimentation and development. Thanks to the Typhoons' sensor he can even see the upgrade possibilities underwater. The system has carved into the ground a sizable foundation for an underwater facility. 

Of the five small docks, three medium docks and Two large docks, the Typhoon can comfortably fit into a medium dock. The procession of houseboats and rafts following the typhoon shows how excited the guild members are besides Dragravs all the other guilds have shown off their ships. Many are a little downhearted as the eight-kilometre long battleship belonging to the Frost Empire Guild is a true behemoth. Even Crippling Desert have an impressive five-kilometre longship that no one has in action. They are not unconvinced as the Typhoon looks more dazzling than the other ship but the size is nothing to underestimate. Human design ships ten dot bigger due to how vast the ocean is. 

This is most people first time seeing a none human design. From the design philosophy to the very construction methods of the ship almost make it seems alien. Unlike a traditional tubular submarine design. Poppi notices the typhoon has a more natural shape. To her eye, it looks like some too the centre part of a stingray, it still needs to be extended and wings more filled out but it is unmistakable to her. She shakes her head taking herself back to her work she will have time to investigate the ship later right now she is in charge of ordering all the goods. By the end of the week, the guild will start its first big push. 

Every player has helped fill the stocked even for double their numbers, Poppi can't exactly understand how they are going to do it but she hasn't been led wrongly yet so she is more than happy to lead by the leaders. The guild has slowly moved from levelling to focusing on raw materials acquisition. To her, this means that the guild will soon be focusing on the Lifestyle players otherwise what would be the point of bringing so many into the guild. The guild is forty-five per cent competitive players thirty-five per cent Lifestyle class players. In truth, though most competitive players have some kind of production class so it is even higher.

SKY Ocean Hunter brings the Typhoon in himself from his chair he can control all the functions of the ship to a lesser degree. Parking the Typhoon is a complicated task but with the help from most of his pods, he is more than able to bring it to stand still. The first onboard are the security officers from the Black Ocean Chapter. Calypso flashes pride almost to the point of vain when Greenhorn, Arth and Lyra come on board.  The ship is mostly off-limits. But the guards are put in place to allow the guild members to be able to visit and see if they meet the requirements to join the crew. Outside of the thousand players that will come along, there are half as many lifestyle posts and a few NPPC slots available. 

SKY Ocean Hunter leaves the Typhoon he has many administrative to take over from Tyr. This will also be the end of it as they are almost certainly changing strategy from how Tyr is reacting SKY Ocean Hunter has to make sure to keep the man on a mission. The levelling rush and ranking up mission are almost set up. the reason they needed to form a guild is the guild mission system. Being able to create missions and give rewards is important to guide how players develop. The ingenues part is that they have figured out is that they will no longer have to update the guide. It will only take players to level forty. The forty to fifty push is what they have been planning for. The exp required is secondary. The guilds primary concern is a get all their players, stats, levels, common titles and gear to the correct level. 

Tyr has cleverly used the most successful three-man teams as a class guide creating a mission to go from level forty to fifty for all careers in the game. The cool thing about them is that these missions are self-sustaining the contribution each player has made to the guild is at least three times the resources they think it will take to reach the correct level. SKY Ocean Hunter argued against this but this is also one of the few Tyr showed a greedy side and Styx was one the ones who wanted five times the amount of resources as other guilds. This is a common tactic to at least get something for allowing spies into the guild. 

SKY Ocean Hunter sees a woman on the medium dock of his new shipyard. Esame'el looks terribly tired it's clear to him that Tyr has dumped a lot more on her than SKY Ocean Hunter does at least now with the Mint coming they should the girls back. The guild will run at its smoothest when all the true leaders are in their proper place. Right now they are small enough that it doesn't matter but later on, this board like structure will allow people to grow and feel as they are making real progress in the guild. Styx has devilish already thought of how the guild will react to newcomers who make contributions and while the requirements are not settled yet. The one thing needed to become an owner in SUNken Reef is to at least a chapter master. This has also served to stop a lot of outside interference as many guilds have similar systems setup. It is the norm for companies to buy into a player and through a player, exercise their will. 

This guild system was pioneered by corporations to get around the cult of personality in a guild.  The players however flipped this one them and have been able to monetise themselves for being members of a big guild. The largest such player is Sgt. Caeser is a corporation onto himself even though he is a player. 

"Boss this is the reply from sabre-ant, here are the notes on the various surveillance projects going on in our enemies territory. Our only utter failure is in the Dragavs guild. I have the forms to formally Associate ourselves with the Mint, he will probably lash out after this. But I believe you have that handled.' Esame'el points at the Typhoon the sub is really impressive and she is already setting up herself to be in the first army. The first army is a secret project of SKY OCean hunter's where the best hundred players will be in a single raid team. Directly under the control of the five chapters. 

"Send everything I want to be done by the end of the day with all the paper work. When we meet the mint in the Pike I want to able t immediately set forward." SKY Ocean Hunter is making each decision quickly part of his job is being able to be away then immediately take back the reins from whoever he leaves in charge. 

Styxs suddenly appears on his shoulder griingin like a grinch who stole Christmas. " Don't worry I found a pasty the Forst empire don't even care about me anymore..." IN his minds flashes of jouy as he trapped SoulStealer with Forst empire. Given SoulStealers strength he is sure that they will blame him for all Styx has done.
