Chapter 35 Sky-high warship

"You are here too?" The old man's voice came from behind us.

"What's wrong? Has our ship calculated?"

"Okay!" The old man held a record book in his hand and said, "I have calculated that the ship is equipped with a total of 750 slurry cabins, 600 artillery rooms, 400 lounges, 40 double rooms, a large chart room, a combat command room, 16 damage control rooms, and 8 modified warehouses. Let me tell you here. Because you have too much space left, for the sake of saving materials, I merged the adjacent warehouse into 8 large cargo holds. I also set up a temporary prison that can imprison 200 people to facilitate your capture of prisoners! There are also medical rooms, kitchens, canteens, arsenals, vaults and reserve combat commands.

There is one swing room. The sail uses composite sails, five main masts, and a total of 5 main sails and 45 auxiliary sails. Because the keel cannot be removed, I have installed the mid-level collision angle for you, which can hit the enemy ship without hindering your bow. In addition, I designed three rotatable platforms at the bow to facilitate you to install the magic crystal cannon. I have also prepared two rotating platforms for you to help you install the cannon at the stern. You will decide which one you plan to install the cannon at that time! Finally, I calculated the price for you, and it will take a total of 2.8 million crystal coins. For the sake of you that you can complete such an outstanding work, I will give you a discount, just 2.2 million!"

"2.2 million crystal coins?" All of us shouted almost at the same time.

Rose began to calculate: "There is 1 million in Zi Sun, the 550,000 in Eagle, and the 500,000 in Zi Yue donated another 50,000, a total of 1.6 million. There is still a shortage of 600,000!"

"It's indeed a sky-high price. I understand why other guilds can't build big ships!" Jin Coin sighed.

"How big a ship do you want to build?" Hearing our ship price, King Chuang asked in surprise. "My Haiwei is already very large, I only used more than 500,000 yuan, and your ship actually costs 2.2 million yuan! One ship is almost catching up with a fleet!"

I said seriously: "Soldiers are important, not too much. We use the money we use to build a fleet to build a ship, and the future combat effectiveness will definitely exceed that of a fleet!"

"I don't object to this!" The King of Chuang nodded. "But, are you not enough money?"

"It's a problem!" I nodded helplessly. "I'm missing 600,000!"

"I guess you are not enough either. I think it took us a long time to save enough of the 500,000! By the way, is your 2.2 million ship price or the total price?"

"Ship price? Total price?" We looked back at the old man waiting for a reply.

The old man looked at us and said, "This is the price of the ship. The materials and handicrafts cost so much. You have to find a way to find other things yourself! I can't help you pay for it!"

"You mean you need to spend money besides building a ship?" We looked at the old man.

"Of course! I just build a boat!" The old man began to wrench his finger to help us calculate. "Your ship needs sailors if you want to go to sea! This one needs to be hired at the Sailors Association, and different sailors are different! The type in the pulp room seems to be cheaper, the gunners are a little more expensive, and there are doctors, chefs and so on. Of course, can you hire players too? Also, if you want to fight, you have to hire combat sailors, such as NPC archers who attack long-rangely and fighting sailors who fight hand-to-hand combat. In short, these all cost money. Also, the cannons on the ship also have to sell siege equipment specifically.

The firepower and prices of different types of guns are different. By the way, you must not forget gunpowder. Cannons without gunpowder and shells are just a pile of scrap iron! And, you also need to buy the bow image. That thing is a magic item, and you have to buy it at the Mage Association. Different Mage Associations sell it differently. You'd better go to a few more companies and buy it after you're optimistic. That thing is not cheap and you won't return it! By the way, you have to buy food. Although you players have no hunger, NPC sailors have to eat on time. Once the hunger level is full, they will be rebellious. It will be difficult to deal with it at that time!"

"Are there any?" I was almost fainting. After all, I guess I couldn't get it if I didn't have 3 million yuan!

“That’s all for the time being!”

"That..." Rose paused and asked, "We don't have enough funds, can we owe it first?"

The old man immediately changed his face when he heard that he was going to owe him. "No, I can tell you that the things have started to be made. The money will be deducted directly from you. Before you make it, you must make up enough of the debt, otherwise I will resell it!"

"How long will you build it?"

The old man stretched out a finger and compared it. "One month? That's fine, it should be time." I nodded.

The old man shook his head.

I said in surprise: "It won't be a year, right? Then, after you have created the national war, you will be over!"

"It's one day! I make things here, no matter how big or small, and deliver them in one day! You can carry the boat tomorrow at noon!"

"No! One day? Then where can we get the time!" I shouted in surprise. Setting this game to be one day really makes it convenient for players, but we don't have time to collect so much money! "Can't you beg for a few days?" I began to continue showing my horse skills.

With my super high charm points, I really moved the old man. "If you can help me turn this ship into the most well-known invincible warship in the world and advertise it to me, I can get some more fees."

"Then what should we do? How much can we reduce the cost?"

"First of all, you must let me put my shipyard's name on the hull, and that's the advertisement. Then you must sink enemy ships worth more than the original cost of the ship within a week. If they fail, you will be confiscated and fined! How about it?"

"Yes, but how much money can you reduce us?"

"How many of you have?"

"1.6 million crystal coins!"

"I will collect you 1.6 million crystal coins."

"Thank you so much!" I was so excited that I almost kissed him. The 2.8 million ship was finally settled for 1.6 million! It's a profit!

The old man interrupted me and said, "Don't be too happy too early. You at least need to hire sailors. Your ship cannot be driven without sailors!"

"Okay, we will find a way to do this!" I turned around and asked Chuangwang, "Do you know where the Sailors Association is?"

"Of course, I happened to go and replenish the sailors, and the battle just now lost a lot of people! Come with me!"

"Okay, please lead the way!"

The old man stopped us again as soon as he was about to leave. "Don't leave first! Tell me the name of the ship." "Just call it Biling!"

After explaining the old man’s affairs, we followed King Chuang out of the port and passed half of the city. Finally, we saw a house with a lifebuoy at the door. The door of the house read the Professional Sailors Association. After coming in, King Chuang pointed us in one direction and went half his own affairs. We followed the direction he pointed to to the room at the end of the corridor, pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and entered the interior of the room. This was a small living room, and an old man was sitting behind his desk.

I walked up and started to negotiate. There was no way, who told me to add such a high charm at the beginning! "Hello, we need to hire sailors. I would like to ask what procedures are required for this employment."

"No procedures are required, it's very simple!" The old man looked at me and said politely: "You just need to tell me the name, type, name of the captain, level, and the number of sailors you need!"

"Our ship has not been built yet and will not be completed tomorrow. The ship is called Biling. What does that type mean?"

"The type is to ask if you are a warship, a fishing boat, or a yacht!"

"Battleship!"

"Where is the captain?"

I looked back at Eagle and the others wanted to ask for advice, but Eagle shouted out directly. "Purple Ri."

"Zi Ri! OK. Your level?"

Since it has been reported, I will not refuse. "Level 339."

"What kinds of sailors do you need? How many of each?"

"We need 3,000 sailors who rock the rock, 1,800 artillery sailors, 300 sailors, and 200 service sailors. We also need a set of essential sailors, such as doctors, chefs, etc.! There are also combat sailors, but I don't know which combat sailors there are. Can you tell me?"

"There are not many types of combat sailors. One is a light machete for hand-to-hand combat, the other is a heavy swordsman for hand-to-hand combat, and there is also a short-range archer, a long-range archer and a long-range rocket soldier. Finally, there is a magician unit, divided into four-series: water, fire, wind, and thunder. Which one do you want?"

"How do these people set the price?"

"Do you buy or rent?"

"purchase."

"The rocker and service sailors have 50 crystal coins, gunners have 100 crystal coins, sailors have 150 crystal coins, doctors, chefs and others have 10,000 crystal coins. The battle sailors have 200 crystal coins, swordsmans have 500 crystal coins, short bowmen have 200 crystal coins, long bowmen have 400 crystal coins, rocketmen have 500 crystal coins. The mages are all priced at 1,000 crystal coins."

Rose pushed me and whispered: "Husband, the necessary sailors alone cost 395,000 crystal coins! We have 400 sailor rest cabins, so we can hire 2,700 combat sailors, but no matter which combat sailors we hire, we don't have enough money!"

I politely said to the old man NPC: "I'm sorry, we have to discuss it before making a decision." After that, I quickly pulled everyone out and ran out. I rushed to the street in one breath and then took a long breath. "I'm so scared, it's so expensive!"

"It's so expensive! This thing was originally designed to be purchased between guilds, not like a few of us." Jinzi nodded.

"Yes! We should also form a guild!" Zi Yue suggested.

Bingbing immediately said to me: "Don't bother to build it anymore. Brother Zi Ri has a guild himself, and only he and Sister Meigui are just taking us in."

"Do you have a guild?" Zi Yue only noticed that I had a guild badge. "That happens to be true, I want to join the guild!"

"Ah? I'm having fun. Isn't it a drag on you when you come in?" I explained.

"What are the things that will drag down? Anyway, we have never thought about the guild meeting. It will be more convenient to enter yours. In the future, you can just call out on the guild channel by looking for people online, so as to save the teaming mode being cancelled as soon as the line is turned off. It will be more troublesome to reorganize it when you get up!" Zi Yue actually recognized me!

"Okay, okay!" I really couldn't resist everyone and had to take them all in. Now there are many people in my guild, and I am also the president of the "big" guild (actually, only 12 people added me)! I thought complacently!

"What should I do now?" I asked everyone. "I'm missing a lot of money!"

"Why don't we ask about the price of the artillery and the bow image first?" Bailing suggested. "It's better to have a goal if you know how many are missing in total!"

"Then let's go and ask first!"

I inquired all the way to the siege equipment shop. It was really hard to find here. It was built next to the city wall! The whole shop felt like a factory, with many semi-finished cannons piled up everywhere. We asked for a long time before we found the head of the blacksmith standing in front of a large stove. "Hello, we want to buy cannons for warships. What are the styles of you here? What is the price?"

The blacksmith was shirtless, her sweat looked shiny, flashing in front of the stove, and her voice was very loud when she spoke. "Follow me." He took us to a row of different cannons by the wall and said, "The worst is this kind of thing, flat cannons, with a range of two kilometers, can fire two rounds per minute, and they are very poor and often explode."

"What does it mean to explode?"

"It's just that the shells were not fired and exploded in the barrel!"

"Oh! Keep going!"

"The flat cannon has a range of 2.5 kilometers and can fire 3 shells per minute. Its power is average, with a 1,200 crystal coins per minute. This is re-cannon, with a range of 3 kilometers and a rate of 4 rounds per minute. It has a great power, with a chain cannon, with a range of 3 kilometers and a rate of 4 rounds per minute. It has a chain cannon, with a range of 3 kilometers and a rate of 6 rounds per minute. It's the same power as re-cannon, with a 1,800 crystal coins per minute. Finally, this is a breech-loaded fortress cannon, with a range of 4 kilometers and a rate of 6 rounds per minute. It's huge, 3,000 crystal coins per ball. Well, that's all, you decide slowly, and choose and call me."

Seeing that the blacksmith left, we quickly slipped out. Rose, who studied economics, once again acted as an accountant and calculated: "If you want to have the advantage of firepower, you have to buy that fortress cannon. We need 600 balls and 1.8 million!"

"Oh my God! It's more expensive than a boat!" I really couldn't stand the blow. "Money, I want money!" I whistled to the sky!

"How much do you want?" A familiar and unfamiliar voice suddenly scared me.

"You are... Feng Yin Piaomiao!" I finally recognized it. Isn't this the big guy who bought my magic pet egg last time? "Why are you here?"

"This is the location of the branch of my guild. I heard recently that they were beaten up by Japanese pirates. Let's take a look!"

I suddenly became nervous. Feng Yinpiaomiao was Hongyue’s brother. Since he was here, Hongyue would not...!

"I finally found you!" It's really said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived! Hongyue ran over from the side. "Last time I just went offline for a while and you left, I'll catch this time!"

"Hehe!" I laughed so hard that I couldn't be more natural! "Why are you here too?"

"The coastal branch of our Goddess League was also attacked. My brother and I come and have a look. But you, hurry up, why are you here for?" Hongyue was still so fierce after not seeing her for a few days!

"We are here to fight pirates too!"

"That's right, we'll be together then!" Feng Yin Piaomiao said with a smile: "You just called for money because you didn't have enough money to buy a boat, right?"

"How do you know?" I looked at him in surprise.
