Chapter 67 Selling Goods and Making Money

With ship prices soaring, Black Knife's ship might fetch a few thousand goldfish, which would be the most he could get.

This leaves Chen Qing with a shortfall of over 60,000.

However, Chen Qing did not panic. Pirate bounties, selling mechanical artifacts, and salvaging gems were all sources of income.

Especially after she received Dahlia's bounty, a large number of pirates and hunters will inevitably target her.

They had no idea that Chen Qing had spent all the money.

After settling the cost of the mechanical spider bomb, Chen Qing opened a private chat channel.

The chat channel now has more than 200 survivors. These survivors are either professionals or superhumans, and they all have their own boats and a certain amount of wealth.

[Chen Qing: Everyone in the channel can receive two mechanical spider bombs for free to try out.]

[Gao Yue: I'm here.]

[Qiao Zhiyu: Here I am +2.]

[Chen Qing: By the way, did you guys know about the Gemstorm in Gem Sea?]

[Gao Yue: ?]

Chen Qing made no attempt to hide anything and shared everything she knew in the chat channel.

[Zhao Sifang: I knew following the big shots would lead to wealth! I'm setting off for the Gem Sea right now!]

[Chen Qing: The path of the hurricane has not yet been detected. Everyone can wait on the outskirts of Gem Sea for now.]

[Chen Qing: But don't get too close to the Gem Sea, it's dangerous.]

Chen Qing sent the mechanical spider bombs as real-world red envelopes in the private channel, sending out 426 mechanical spider bombs according to the number of people.

Of course, enabling this feature also costs goldfish.

[Bai Mofei: Everyone be careful. There are many other races in this sea area, and they are also preparing to set off for the Gem Sea.]

[Bai Mofei: Lots of fishmen! The competition must be fierce!]

Since Chen Qing was so generous, the others in the channel naturally wouldn't be stingy either, especially since everyone was quite wealthy.

Before long, Chen Qing received a large number of bomb orders, as well as specialties from various seas.

Fruits, vegetables, flowers, ornaments, toys, and clothes come in all shapes and sizes. Although they are not valuable, they are the thought that counts.

The cost of a mechanical spider is 2-3 silver crabs, which is much lower than that of a seawater purifier. Chen Qing sells it for 20 silver crabs, which seems like a rip-off.

This is mainly because machine factories greatly reduce costs, as they require no manual labor and their material costs are actually not high.

Chen Qing is currently short of money, and since the mechanical spider bomb is not a necessity, she doesn't see any problem with selling it at a high price.

Mechanical bombs of the same level on the market are much more expensive than Chen Qing's.

Chen Qing has already reduced the price of the seawater purifier to 6 silver coins when selling it to survivors, which basically doesn't make him any money.

However, her daily output is limited to 3,000 units, and each survivor ID can only buy one unit every three months.

It's true that selling weapons is still more profitable.

After the survivors in the channel tried it out, they all placed orders. It's good to carry a couple of these for self-defense.

More reliable than ordinary bombs.

Within half an hour, Chen Qing received orders worth 100,000 yuan, and that number continues to rise.

Chen Qing can earn 2,000 goldfish from 100,000 spider bombs. As long as he sells 3 million spider bombs, Chen Qing will have enough money to customize a ship.

After finishing the math problem, Chen Qing seemed thoughtful, thinking that perhaps the cost of the ship could be increased further.

Besides the mechanical spider bomb, Chen Qing also has another powerful tool for making money.

[Class D - Environmental Adaptation Device (Dark Green)]

An environmental adaptation device, as the name suggests, is a device that allows a person to adapt to the external environment.

The more accurate name for this device should be an underwater environment adaptation device.

It's practically made for gem-hunting operations; it's unimaginable how much gem hunters would be willing to spend to buy it.

The price of existing underwater devices on the market ranges from 1 to 100 goldfish, with the highest quality being blue.

More advanced underwater devices are essentially custom-made and are generally unaffordable for the average person.

Chen Qing's drawing is of very good quality and the cost is not high.

If she can mass-produce them, with the help of this gem storm, she might not even need to hunt pirates to raise enough money for custom ships.

And they should still have a considerable surplus.

Chen Qing immediately began to study the polishing and assembly. Now that Chen Qing had the help of the assistant bee, he would definitely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Making the product and mass-producing it are not the problem at all; the biggest problem is the materials.

In less than half a day, Chen Qing made three sets of underwater adaptability equipment.

One set is based on the blueprints, while the other two sets are a modified and an improved version, with qualities of light green, dark green, and blue respectively.

These three devices are designed for gem hunters with different spending power.

The device is somewhat similar to a spacesuit, but it is more form-fitting and less bulky, and it also has a certain degree of offensive capability.

In particular, Chen Qing predicted that the blue-quality equipment would allow people to move freely underwater like fish-men.

Of course, this is just an estimated effect; she needs to verify the more accurate results herself.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Qing decided to invite Zhao Fuli and the others to conduct the experiment together.

Since it's an experiment, we need to find more samples, since these are intended for mass production and sale to gem hunters.

It's impossible to just talk about it on paper.

Chen Qing found some more materials in the warehouse, intending to make several more sets.

However, as soon as she stood up, she heard unusual activity coming from the water below the cabin window.

Chen Qing's boat was moored outside the designated area of ​​Sapphire Island's dock, meaning that she and her boat were not protected by Sapphire Island.

Attacking her here will not be affected by the rules of Sapphire Island.

Chen Qing had deliberately created this opportunity for the pirates, but he hadn't expected them to arrive so late.

She glanced at the sky outside; it was almost dark.

Two days and one night had passed since she received the bounty, and these pirates were only now beginning to make their move.

Moreover, the attacker outside was far too weak; her actions were too obvious.

There is a slight difference between the sound of naturally flowing seawater and the sound of someone swimming underwater.

She was the only boat in this area, so Chen Qing could hear her clearly.

I wonder which pirate crew the people below belong to.

Chen Qing casually tossed a few mechanical spider bombs into the water, and the bombs detonated instantly, staining the surrounding sea red with blood.

A body slowly floated to the surface of the sea.

Survivor Chen Qing kills a scout from the Reno family pirate crew, gaining 0.1 Extraordinary Points.

The Renault family has been so busy these past few days that Chen Qing had almost forgotten their name.

Actually, they were already on the island.

Chen Qing glanced at the corpse; the fresh flesh and blood caused the blood spirit trapped inside the glass bottle to surge wildly.

It made no sound, but Chen Qing seemed to hear a terrifying roar.

Having been locked up for so long at the lowest health level, Blood Spirit was on the verge of death and had reached its limit, but now it has been revived by fresh corpses, giving it its last bit of vitality.
