Even in the Wandering Era, the approval process for major factions remained quite complex.
This wasn't due to red tape, but to strict protocol.
Shi Ming waited in the Sea of Soaring Dragons for two days before finally receiving the most complete intelligence on the Moonlight Ripple Beast, along with the entire battle plan. He hadn't been idle during that time, either. He occasionally took the Da Yun hunting in the nearby waters and held special training sessions with Rong Bing to familiarize themselves with coordinating their skills.
He had also taken his crew to the Da Yu's food district to eat the hot pot he'd been craving for so long.
It didn't cost much, mainly because someone else was paying.
As the expedition drew near, he also met the captain of another of Da Yu's Admiral-class Ships.
The Admiral-class Ship, the Beidou Star!
