Chapter 1037: Handsome Chao
In the past timeline, Handsome Chao was always regarded as some narcissistic and eccentric old man by players. Not only was his shipyard extremely small, but he also refused to rent or sell any of them out.
This was already during the time when most shipyards had opened up to players and allowed them to rent ships to travel the sea.
Thus, his small shipyard’s popularity dipped drastically and many avoided him like a plague.
That was until one player who was clueless and did many missions to earn Evershade Merits stumbled across the old man.
The old man was able to sense the merits of the player and swiftly requested for an exchange. The said player was initially reluctant, still holding a misconception that his merits were worth a lot.
Hence, the player rejected, only to realize the merits were useless everywhere besides the old man who showed great interest. Without a choice, the player shamefully returned to the old man and obtained an Epic Ranked Warship.
Since then, the player realized their great fortune and thanked the old man.
As for how this came to light, the player repeatedly boasted about it and revealed information after the public paid him generously to spill the beans.
And since this player was a clueless type, they naturally failed to understand the significance of an Epic Ranked Warship.
What made the player beyond fortunate was that the Epic Ranked Warship could only be obtained once.
