Chapter 66 Custom Ships

Watching Granny Peach's departing figure, Chen Qing, who was usually indifferent, couldn't help but feel a special emotion.

Wealth seemed to have only briefly passed through her hands.

Being a mechanic is also a very expensive profession; in other words, developing any profession to its fullest potential requires a lot of money.

Ten thousand goldfish is just a drop in the ocean.

Chen Qing shook his head and turned to walk towards the recycling plant.

Besides the assistant bees, there are still some usable items in the recycling plant.

For example, some of the older mechanical creations were not damaged.

She spent some time at the recycling plant tidying up her things before heading to the shipyard to find the owner.

The super-powered vines have already parked the ship at the shipyard. Besides Chen Qing's ship, there are many other ships here that have come for modification.

The entire sea area near the shipyard was filled with boats, and the boatmen were working enthusiastically, rowing their small boats back and forth between the vessels.

Chen Qing found the shipyard owner who was building a ship, and the bald, burly man explained his purpose.

"Transformation..."

The boss scratched his head and thought about it seriously for a while.

"Black Knife's ship must have come from a shipyard in the Misty Sea. It's not suitable for major modifications and renovations. I suggest you commission a new ship."

"If you have enough money, I can use Black Sky Stone, Dragon Scale Wood for the dragon bones, and Purple Gold Pine for the mast..."

The bald boss lowered his voice, and the glint in his eyes grew brighter with each material he mentioned.

The materials are definitely high-quality, but the price...

He could empty Chen Qing's pockets completely.

"I don't want dragon scale wood or purple gold pine; I want the entire ship to be made of magic root wood."

Chen Qing interrupted the bald boss and directly stated his thoughts.

Magic Root Wood is of purple quality and is considered a very good material. It is on the same level as the Dragon Scale Wood that the bald boss mentioned, but its price is about 30% lower than that of Dragon Bone Wood.

The main problem is that this type of wood has a fatal flaw: it passively emits a special kind of energy.

Only professionals in certain special fields or those with extraordinary abilities can withstand it.

Moreover, even those with specialized professions cannot withstand the energy emanating from the Demon Root Wood.

Of all the pirate groups Chen Qing knew, only the Ghost Bone Pirate Group's ships were made of demon root wood.

The Dragon Pirates are quite wealthy; their ships are made of dragonbone wood and use a large amount of black skystone.

"..."

The bald boss looked Chen Qing up and down with a strange expression, and did not immediately agree to Chen Qing's request.

He hesitated a bit about whether to agree.

"Can only the Misty Sea build ships from magic root wood?"

"I see."

Chen Qing's question immediately aroused the bald boss's strong competitive spirit: What do you mean that only the Misty Sea can build ships with Magic Root Wood?

joke!

Their shipyard on Sapphire Island is famously good!

"What do you know! Of course we can do it!"

"Tell me, what is your demand!"

On impulse, the bald boss actually agreed to Chen Qing's request.

Chen Qing curled her lips and tossed a list to the bald boss.

Her requirements weren't many: she needed a dedicated mechanical workshop and a location to house the mechanical factory.

The warehouse can be divided into mechanical materials warehouse, mechanical products warehouse, and other warehouses.

As for accommodation, although Chen Qing is alone, there are still intelligent mechanical creations on her ship, so she still needs to set aside a few rooms specifically for them.

For example, the Super Vine and the Assistant Bee Hive.

At the same time, other cabins on board are also essential: medical room, kitchen, gym, livestock and planting area, ammunition depot, engine room, etc.

This ship absolutely must be suitable for her, a mechanic.

Chen Qing's requirements weren't many, but her quality requirements were extremely high.

"Oh, right, I also keep a sea monster, which has a rather vicious personality."

Chen Qing added.

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, the bald boss's face darkened even further.

He's been in charge of the shipyard for so long, and he's never had such a difficult task before.

"Can you do it? If not—"

"Of course!"

The bald man readily agreed, saying that if he couldn't do it, he'd lose all face!

"You first...you give me a deposit of 20,000 for the goldfish, and we'll talk about the rest after it's finished. I won't give you more than the reward."

The bald man was referring to Dahlia's 100,000, a fact that was already common knowledge.

"What about the construction period?"

Money is not the issue; the important thing is the goods.

"Let's set it for... a month and a half."

The bald boss hesitated for a moment. Normally, the construction period for a custom-made ship is about 15 days to 1 month. Their shipyard has a large number of shipwrights and is the largest shipyard on Sapphire Island.

Even in the Gem Sea, their scale is considered large.

Chen Qing's mission is indeed a challenge for them, but also a great opportunity.

The veteran shipwrights at the factory have been stuck at their current professional level for a long time.

"Can."

Chen Qing paid the money readily. During this construction period, she could participate in the mass movement of the deep blue sea at Gemstone Sea.

After Chen Qing left with the completed ship, the bald boss quickly summoned his deputy.

He quickly ordered his deputy to stop taking orders and also asked him to call back some of the boatmen he used to work with.

"What happened?"

"We have a huge order for 100,000 goldfish!"

The bald boss, with a deep gaze, patted his deputy's shoulder heavily and spoke earnestly.

There are exactly 100,000 goldfish, how can that be considered excessive?

Chen Qing is determined to make this ship absolutely perfect!

Although he was just a shipyard owner, he was also ambitious.

He was also a boatman by trade; his whole family were boatmen. Unfortunately, no one could make the shipyard famous worldwide.

The bald boss's gaze fell on the signboard of Yiye Shipyard, and his eyes became complicated.

Now, he wants to be the one who can make Yiye Shipyard famous all over the world!

The first thing to do was... the bald boss took out a specially made communicator, took a deep breath to prepare himself mentally, and then dialed a number he knew by heart.

"Hello--"

An aged voice came from the other end, and the bald boss's eyes filled with tears.

"Mom—help!!"

The first thing to do is to call in more players!

The current shipyard workers are not capable of completing Chen Qing's task; we need to bring back the veteran workers from before.

Especially his mother, a shipbuilding master who has been retired for many years.

Chen Qing had no idea that one of her tasks would cause the bald boss to frantically call for more people; for her, the most important thing right now was to save money.

Although the bald boss said the cost of the custom-made boat would be below the bounty, Chen Qing believed that as a businessman, he would definitely keep the cost firmly at 100,000.

Chen Qing now has less than 40,000 yuan left, including the deposit.
