Li Huamei waved her hand in satisfaction and said, "Alright. Our goal is Macau! Everyone, get to work."

Lin Qing entered his room.

On the Huachen, his room was in a good location, right at the top deck, which was 10 meters high, offering a panoramic view of the sea. It was only 10 meters away from Li Huamei's captain's cabin.

However, Lin Qing spread out a map and began to study it.

This was a map of East Asia.

At this moment, various matters were complicated, but they were fraught with countless dangers.

One misstep, and his identity as a double-crossing quintuple spy would be exposed, inviting a fatal threat.

He had to consider Crawford, the Takenaka Gang, the Hong Gang team, and Li Huamei, as well as his own Shattered Ring mission.

Lin Qing felt a headache.

First, the target of the "Female Admiral Collection" was undoubtedly Li Huamei. Other female admirals were either too far away, like Riru Agot and Tia Vaman Chaska, or too difficult, like the female pirate queen Azisha Nulennahar.

Li Huamei's current attitude towards him was hostile, mainly because he had harmed her and the Li family fleet's interests. As long as he could serve her goals, Li Huamei would quickly change her opinion of him.

However, just helping her might not be enough to win her sensitive and fragile heart.

This ice beauty was the only main character in the entire Age of Exploration who had no personal emotional drama. But she was clearly a woman with clear likes and dislikes, just lacking the right person to help her shoulder the incredibly heavy mission.

To move her, he would have to truly achieve something. Ordinary men would never catch her eye.

The "Proof of Dominance" mission required obtaining the Proof of Dominance from any of the seven seas. This was undoubtedly the Proof of Dominance from East Asia, the "Qin Emperor's Eternal Lamp." This was because, whether it was his own dominance in East Asia or the Takenaka Gang's mission, he needed to obtain this item.

The "Dominating a Region" mission required establishing 1000 influence in a region. This most difficult task became relatively easier to achieve under Lin Qing's skilled manipulation and subtle identity. Lin Qing planned to first establish a substantial financial empire, and if that didn't work, he would head to Southeast Asia to acquire a large market share, achieving his goal.

The Hong Gang team was purely his own henchmen. Lin Qing planned to use them to the fullest, squeezing them dry. If that didn't work, he would stage another solo survival act, eliminating them all!

The Takenaka Gang was a very interesting mission.

If he wanted to dominate this world, Lin Qing realized that it was impossible with just normal military force and game modes!

The reason the Takenaka Gang had to take a radical approach, coming up with the idea of finding the Ancestor Virus in the Age of Exploration, was likely because they saw the strength of the main characters in this world and felt despair.

They could never defeat Li Huamei, Sakuzaemon, and the Raimon family, these terrifying warlords, in a fair naval battle!

As Lin Qing saw, these natural main characters were navigators and adventurers, and this world, themed around the Age of Exploration, was destined to belong to them!

Unless there was an adventurer with the strength to surpass these main characters in navigation and combat, no one else had a chance!

Thinking of this, Lin Qing smiled.

Speaking of such a person, there was one right now.

It was him!

He was the only one who could shatter the main character's aura!

In this world, the main character's aura was extremely important and particularly evident.

That was, the main characters were almost invincible.

The Age of Exploration had no end date. Additionally, no matter how long they drifted at sea, without food or water, the main characters would not die.

With such an abnormal ability, how could it be possible to harm these main characters?

But with his Shattered Ring ability, after he shattered their rings, the main characters would revert to normal people!

That way, he could eliminate and absorb them!

Li Huamei was his prey!

However, the accumulation of such power would take too long, and Lin Qing couldn't wait that long.

He knew that Mikiu Shinsu was thinking the same way.

Two ambitious warlords, eager to control this world, had reached a high degree of agreement on one issue.

That was, they must obtain the Ancestor Virus.

In this world, the Ancestor Virus, as an original existence, had the ability to spread and infect.

The space strictly controlled the Ancestor Virus, this heaven-defying weapon. Even after great efforts to obtain it, it was only a single-user version and could not be spread or used. This made the biochemical virus weapon, the Ancestor Virus, lose most of its value.

Mikiu Shinsu was a genius, an absolute genius.

Imagine this.

Although the main characters' talent in navigation gave them an absolute advantage, what if the entire fleet was infected with the Ancestor Virus?

The Ancestor Virus's greatest power lay in turning the infected into its servants!

Infected bees would abandon the queen and obediently serve a human.

No matter how strong Li Huamei and her people were, once the Ancestor Virus spread worldwide, what could they do?

This was a straightforward crushing, but in another dimension.

If his theory could come true, it would absolutely be a brilliant move to fundamentally change the world's power balance, a decisive blow!

Without fighting, he could subdue the enemy, and the entire Age of Exploration world would become his base.

Even if other forces found and invaded this world, in the future world wars, no one could match Mikiu Shinsu with the Ancestor Virus!

Moreover, once this theory was established, Mikiu Shinsu could widely apply it to other worlds, as long as the wild Ancestor Virus in Tahiti still existed, Mikiu Shinsu could bypass the space's control.

So, what should he do?

Lin Qing smiled.

If it's a good idea, follow it; if it's a good thing, take it!

After doing this, the Takenaka Gang would probably be so enraged that they would want to kill him.

But don't forget, this is an adventure world, not a sightseeing world. In such a world, it's not strange for the entire exploration team to be eliminated.

Lin Qing was already planning how to eliminate these people and dominate the entire world.

It couldn't be denied that he was very evil, extremely evil.

Along the way, under the powerful pressure of the Li family fleet, the marauding pirates fled at the first sign of trouble. No one dared to face them head-on. It was also winter, with strong northern winds, making the journey smooth. They arrived at the important commercial port of Quanzhou in just three days.

Quanzhou's development was not as high as Hangzhou's, but as a wealthy area, it had a development level of 4000.

One day, Lin Qing received a message from Zhou Zhiruo via pigeon, informing him that she had successfully entered the Raimon family's ruling area, Nagasaki, and completed the trade.

This time, Lin Qing's accounting showed a profit!

This voyage involved 10 cargo holds of silk, each purchased for 1000 gold coins, and sold in Nagasaki for 2800 gold coins!

In just five days, the profit was 1.8 times, earning 18000 gold coins!

This was the value of goods traded between two warring nations.

Zhou Zhiruo excitedly reported that due to the long absence of Ming Dynasty goods in Japan, this batch of high-quality second-grade silk even caught the attention of the Japanese royal family and daimyos. A craze for silk swept through the entire Nagasaki region. Many daimyos in Kyushu were willing to spend a fortune to obtain a piece of Ming Dynasty silk to show off their power and status. Nagasaki even formed a silk craze, and selling silk there in the near future would yield even greater profits!

Zhou Zhiruo loaded the local cotton goods into the cargo hold and set sail back to Hangzhou.

Nagasaki's cotton goods could also sell for a high price in Hangzhou.

With this, Lin Qing's 10000 gold coins capital would turn into at least 50000 gold coins!

In just ten days, a fivefold profit!

This was the charm of the golden trade route in the Age of Exploration!

With money, Lin Qing could order large ships in Hangzhou and expand his scale.

Unfortunately, he currently had only one subordinate, Zhou Zhiruo, and could only establish a division fleet. Unless he found other navigators and subdued them, he would be limited.

This plot world had many restrictions, but once these restrictions were broken, the benefits were immense.

The Li family fleet arrived in Macau without any resistance.

At this time, Macau's development level was not high, only 1500. It was clear that due to a lack of funds, even though Li Huamei wanted to make Macau a prosperous and wealthy place, she was powerless and could only do her best.

The dock had only three berths, and the Li family fleet had to enter in batches to unload and load goods, with the rest waiting in the nearby sea.

This time, the Li family had two fleets, 10 ships, carrying a total of 65 cargo holds!

Seeing the mountains of porcelain, silk, and tea piled up on the Macau dock, and the few merchants who came to buy, Li Huamei sighed.

Her keen eyes could see that this sale was not going well. Due to low demand, the selling price was even lower than the last time they came to Macau. To clear the inventory, the Li family's managers had to choose to sell at a low price. Even so, the buyers, who were already saturated with goods in the same area, showed little interest and did not buy.

Li Huamei felt a sense of frustration.

This trip, with 10 ships, the costs for supplies, repairs, and sailors were over 10000 gold coins. If they couldn't sell at a good price, this trip might even result in a loss.

However, in front of everyone, she forced a smile and tried to stay positive.

In the past, the Li family controlled areas as far as Naha and Kyoto. These two important foreign cities were the best places to sell Ming Dynasty goods. People flocked to buy Ming products and transported their own specialties back to the Ming Dynasty, reaping huge profits.
