Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Making a Brand-New Ship

More than 370,000 goldfish, this construction cost is almost twice as high as the bounty for Demon Dragon Shangjia!

It truly is a terrifying figure.

In the Deep Blue Sea, there shouldn’t be many people who can come up with so much cash in goldfish.

It must be said, when Bald Boss and Madam Lishan, along with the other staff of Yiye Shipyard calculated this number, they too were taken aback.

How could they spend so much money!

How could they dare to spend so much money!

The money is really just flying away!

Even as Chen Qing kept increasing the budget, they never imagined they would spend so much to construct this ship.

A Level B golden quality Mechanical Ship with a mechanical inclination, for this value and quality, the price isn’t actually high.

It fits Chen Qing perfectly, custom-built for her alone.

But still, that doesn’t mitigate the terrifying cost.

The shipyard workers, including the usually silent smoking Madam Lishan, all felt a bit guilty and dared not look Chen Qing in the eye.

They all thought this ship was likely their final work, so... they put all their lifetime of expertise into Chen Qing’s ship.

In doing so, they got a bit too carried away.

This group of old masters has wide connections and rich experience; all the materials used in building the ship were the best.

Some were even shipped from the Scarlet Sea Domain.

The funds from Yiye Shipyard and the down payment given by Chen Qing were far from enough; they relied on their reputation to get material on credit.

If Chen Qing didn’t pay up, they would have to toil and labor to repay the debt, even at the ripe age of eighty or ninety.

She couldn’t possibly be that heartless, could she?

"I can."

Chen Qing received the scanned blueprint sent by the Mechanical Fish King and the observations of the Blast Battle Rabbit and others.

This price did indeed far exceed Chen Qing’s expectations, she was a bit startled herself.

This might be the largest amount of money she has spent in her lifetime.

However, a ship is something that will accompany her for life, it’s better to get it mostly right in one go and then slowly refine it.

This money, it has to be spent.

Fortunately, the dividends from those three bets were enough to cover the cost for Chen Qing.

But having paid this sum, Chen Qing was out of money.

She still needed to find a way to make money, for although she wasn’t in debt, she still had a significant shortfall.

Hearing Chen Qing’s response, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she did not plan on running off without paying.

Chen Qing had the Superpower Vine move the money from the warehouse, and such a large sum piled into a small mountain on the deck of her new ship.

Of course, the black cloth covering the ship hadn’t been removed, so those outside didn’t know what Chen Qing and the others were doing.

To be honest, seeing so much goldfish all at once, the folks at Yiye Shipyard were breathing much faster.

No wonder so many people wanted to rob Chen Qing, she was simply oozing with wealth!

Bald Boss’s hands were shaking as he counted the money; he had never seen so much in his life.

How exactly did Chen Qing make her fortune, he even wanted to switch careers!

Under his mother’s murderous gaze, Bald Boss, who had just finished counting the money, wanted to shamelessly ask Chen Qing if he could join her crew.

He was good at maintaining ships and pretty tough in a fight; bringing him along would be beneficial.

But before he could speak, he was dragged away by the ear by his own mother.

Madam Lishan might be over eighty, but she was still incredibly strong; living another few decades wouldn’t be a problem.

"The transaction is complete, so we will take our leave now,"

Madam Lishan decisively said, dragging her undutiful son with her.

Carrying so much money, if they got robbed by accident, this undutiful son had better be prepared to sell himself to pay off the debt!

Those pirates and Hunters don’t observe any principles of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, or wisdom.

Instead of thinking about hiding the money quickly, he still planned to cozy up to others.

This undutiful son!

Madam Lishan slapped Bald Boss on his bald head; poor Bald Johnny, despite his advanced age, still got smacked by his mother like this.

It was a painful yet joyful experience.

After bidding farewell to everyone at Yiye Shipyard, Chen Qing didn’t hesitate to take out the Mechanical Heart and the ship upgrade scroll from her space.

She planned to use this Red Quality Mechanical Heart on the ship.

This ship would become Chen Qing’s most powerful weapon.

Between upgrading the ship’s Level and improving its quality with the scroll, Chen Qing chose the latter.

The scroll was torn to pieces, and the cold Mechanical Heart was cast into the white beam of light.

Chen Qing accepted the glass bottle passed by the Blast Battle Rabbit, which contained Blood Spirit.

She needed the ability of the Blood Spirit but did not require the Blood Spirit to possess a sense of self, not even a mechanical instinct of self.

Now was the best time to refine and integrate the Blood Spirit into the ship.

The dying Blood Spirit was tossed into the white light by Chen Qing without hesitation.

[Warning Warning—The unnamed vessel owned by survivor Chen Qing is undergoing irreversible changes—]

[Warning Warning—Survivor Chen Qing...]

Hearing the system warning sound in her ears, Chen Qing’s expression did not change.

A ship created with over three hundred thousand goldfish, a ship upgrade scroll, a Red Quality Mechanical Heart, a weird creature of unknown origin.

She wondered what kind of effect their fusion would produce.

Would it be a success or a failure?

Or would there be no change at all?

The only thing Chen Qing found regrettable was the Red Quality Mechanical Heart; everything else, she could afford to lose.

Especially since Chen Qing possessed the Extraordinary Ability ’Everything Can Be Upgraded,’ the ship upgrade scroll wasn’t actually that precious to her.

The most valuable was the Mechanical Heart.

As long as the ship didn’t exhibit irreversible negative changes, she could accept it.

After all, Chen Qing’s Extraordinary Ability was ’Everything Can Be Upgraded.’

Even if there were negative changes, she could use Extraordinary Points to correct them.

As Chen Qing cast the Mechanical Heart and the Blood Spirit into the glow, a violent storm abruptly arose over the sea, and the sky dramatically changed.

A dazzling radiance enveloped the entire ship in an instant, and at the center of the light, Chen Qing’s spiritual power was continuously drained by the glow.

Soon, Chen Qing’s meager spiritual power was nearing exhaustion.

With the help of the Blast Battle Rabbit, the Water Healing Butterfly swiftly moved forward and injected Chen Qing with one Spiritual Power Recovery Potion after another.

The process of spiritual power being depleted and then replenished was extremely painful.

However, Chen Qing had gotten used to this pain, both mentally and physically.

In the tug of the light, the ship enshrouded in black cloth was undergoing tremendous changes and gradually taking shape.

Bit by bit, it was being refined into the perfect match for Chen Qing’s vision.
