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

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

"That's it!" The old man held a notebook in his hand and said: "I have calculated, this ship is equipped with a total of 750 slurry rooms, 600 gun rooms, 400 rest rooms, 40 double rooms, a large chart room, an operational command room, 16 damage control rooms, and 8 converted warehouses. I'll tell you about it here. Because you have so much space left, I have merged the adjacent warehouses into 8 large cargo compartments to save materials. I've also set up a temporary prison for 200 people, so you can take prisoners! There is also an infirmary, a kitchen, a canteen, an armory, a vault, and a reserve operations command room. The sail uses a composite sail with five mainmasts, a total of 5 mainsails and 45 auxiliary sails. Since you can't dismantle the keel, I helped you install a mid-to-type ramming angle, which can ram the enemy ship without hindering you from loading the bow statue. In addition, I designed three rotating platforms at the bow of the ship so that you can install the magic crystal cannon. I've also prepared two rotating platforms for you at the stern, and it's up to you to decide where you want to load the cannons!" In the end, I calculated the price for you, and a total of 2.8 million crystal coins are needed. For the sake of you allowing me to complete such an outstanding work, I will give you a discount, 2.2 million! ”

"2,200,000 crystal coins?" We all screamed almost at the same time.

Rose began to calculate: "Ziri has 1 million, Eagle has 550,000, and Ziyue has donated another 50,000, a total of 1.6 million." There is still 600,000 left! ”

"Sure enough, it's sky-high, I understand why other guilds can't build big ships!" The gold coin sighed.

"How big of a ship are you going to build?" Hearing our ship price, King Chuang asked in surprise. "My Haiwei is already very big, and it only cost more than 500,000, and your ship actually costs 2.2 million! A ship is almost catching up with a fleet! ”

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

"I'm not against that!" King Chuang nodded. "But you don't have enough money, do you?"

"It's a bit of a problem!" I nodded helplessly. "There is a shortage of 600,000!"

"I guess you guys aren't enough, I think it took us a long time to save up the 500,000! By the way, is your 2.2 million the price of the ship or the total price? ”

"The price of the ship? Price? We looked back at the old man and waited for an answer.

The old man looked at us and said, "This is the price of the ship." The materials and manual costs are so much, and you have to figure out everything else! I can't help you pay for it! ”

"You mean there's a lot more money to spend than just shipbuilding?" We looked at the old man.

"Of course! All I built was a boat! "The old man started to wrench his fingers and help us do the math." If your ship wants to go to sea, you need sailors! This one has to be hired by the Sailors' Association, and different sailors have different prices! The kind of slurry room seems to be cheaper, the gunner is slightly more expensive, and there are some doctors, chefs, etc., of course, you can also hire players! Also, if you want to fight, you have to hire battle sailors. For example, the ranged attacking NPC archer and the white-knuckle combat sailor. In short, it all costs money. In addition, the guns on the ship were also purchased at the blacksmith shop specializing in siege equipment, and the firepower and price of different guns were different. By the way, gunpowder can't be forgotten, artillery without gunpowder and shells is a pile of scrap metal! Also, the bow statue of the ship will also be bought. That thing is a magic item, you have to go to the mage association to buy it, different mage associations sell it differently, you'd better run a few more to see it before buying, that thing is not cheap, and it is not returned! By the way, you also have to buy food, although you players don't have hunger, but NPC sailors have to eat on time, and as soon as the hunger level is full, they will mutiny, and it will be difficult to do it then! ”

"Anything else?" I'm already about to faint, and according to this calculation, it is estimated that I will not be able to get it without 3 million!

"That's all for now!"

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

When the old man heard that he was going to be in arrears, he immediately changed his face. "No, I can tell you that things have already begun to be made. The money will be deducted directly from you. You'll have to make up enough money before it's ready, or I'll resell it!" ”

"And how long are you going to build?"

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

The old man shook his head.

I was surprised, "It can't be a year, right?" Then when you've built it, the national war is over! ”

"It's a day! I make everything here, no matter how big or small, it is delivered in one day! You'll be able to pick up the boat tomorrow at noon! ”

"Isn't it! One day? So where did we come in time! I exclaimed in surprise. It's a game that's set up for a day, but we don't have time to raise that much money! "Can't you give a few days?" I started to show off my horse skills.

With my super high charm points, it really made me move the old man. "If you can help me turn this ship into the most famous invincible warship in the world and advertise me, I can reduce the cost a little more."

"So what are we going to do? How much can I deduct? ”

"First of all, you have to ask me to put the name of my shipyard on the hull, and that's an advertisement. You must then sink enemy ships worth more than the original cost of the ship within a week. If you don't, your boat will be confiscated and you will be fined! What do you think? ”

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

"How many of you have?"

"1,600,000 crystal coins!"

"I'll charge you 1.6 million crystal coins."

"Thank you so much!" I was so excited that I almost went up to kiss him, and the 2.8 million boat was finally 1.6 million yuan! Earn it!

The old man interrupted me and said, "Don't be too happy. You need to at least hire sailors, without whom your ship won't work! ”

"Okay, we'll figure this out!" I turned around and asked, "Do you know where the Sailors' Guild is?" ”

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

"Okay, please lead the way!"

Just as we were about to leave, the old man stopped us again. "Don't go yet! Tell me the name of the ship. ”

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Let's call it Biling!"

After explaining the matter of the old man's side, we followed King Chuang out of the port, passed through half of the city, and finally saw a house with a lifebuoy hanging at the door, and on the door of the house was written the Professional Sailors' Association. After coming in, King Chuang pointed us in a direction, and then went to our own business. We followed his direction to the room at the end of the hallway, pushed open the worn wooden door and entered the room. It was a small living room, and an old man was sitting behind a desk.

I stepped forward and began to prepare for negotiations, but I couldn't help it, who told me to add such a high level of charm in the first place! "Hello, we need to hire sailors, I would like to ask what procedures are required for this employment."

"There's no formalities, it's easy!" The old man looked at me and said politely: "You only need to tell me the name and type of the ship, the name and rank of the captain, and the number of types of sailors needed!" ”

"Our ship hasn't been built yet, and it will be completed tomorrow, and it's called Biling. What does that mean? ”

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

"Battleship!"

"Where's the captain?"

I looked back at the eagle and they wanted to ask for advice, but the eagle just shouted. "Purple Sun."

"Purple Sun! All right. Your rank? ”

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

"What kinds of sailors do you need? How much of each? ”

"3,000 sailors, 1,800 gunhouse sailors, 300 sailmen, 200 service sailors. We also need a set of essential sailors, like doctors, cooks, and the like! There are also combat sailors, but I don't know which combat sailors there are, can you sue me? ”

"There are not too many types of combat sailors. One is a lightly armed machete in hand-to-hand combat, the other is a heavy swordsman in hand-to-hand combat, and there is a short-range archer, a long-range archer, and a long-range rocketeer. Finally, there is the mage army, which is divided into four systems: water, fire, wind, and thunder. Which do you want? ”

"How do these people set the price?"

"Are you buying, or are you renting?"

"Buy."

"50 Crystal Coins for the Shaker and the Sailor, 100 Crystal Coins for the Gunner, 150 Crystal Coins for the Sailman, and 10,000 Crystal Coins for the Doctor, Cook, etc. 200 Crystals for the Blademan, 500 Crystals for the Swordsman, 200 Crystals for the Shortbowmen, 400 Crystals for the Longbowmen, and 500 Crystals for the Rocketeers. Mages are priced at 1,000 crystal coins each. ”

Rose pushed me and whispered: "Husband, the necessary sailors alone will cost 395,000 crystal coins!" We have 400 sailors' rest chambers, so we can still hire 2,700 combat sailors, but we don't have enough money to hire any kind of combat sailors! ”

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

"It's so expensive! This thing was originally designed to be purchased between guilds, like a few of us. The gold coin nodded.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"That's right! We should form a guild too! Ziyue said.

Bingbing immediately said to me: "Don't bother to build it, Brother Ziri has his own guild, and just he and Sister Rose just took us in." ”

"You have a guild?" Purple Moon didn't even notice that I had a guild badge until now. "That's right, I'm going to join!"

"Huh? I'm having fun, isn't it a drag for you to come in! I explained.

"What drags down or not, anyway, we haven't thought about what guild to enter, how convenient it is to enter you. In the future, you can go online to find someone to shout directly in the guild channel, saving you from canceling the team mode as soon as you go online, and it will be more troublesome to reorganize when you come up! "Ziyue actually recognizes me!

"Good, good!" I couldn't help but let them all in. Now I have quite a few people in my guild, and I'm also the president of the "big" guild (in fact, there are only 12 people with me)! I thought smugly!

"What now?" I ask everyone. "There's a lot of money missing!"

"Why don't we go and ask the price of the gun and the bow statue first?" Bailingti yì. "It's good to know how much is missing, and there is a goal, isn't it!"

"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 actually built on the edge of the city wall! The whole shop feels like a factory, with a lot of semi-finished products of cannons piled up everywhere. We asked for a long time before we found the blacksmith's head standing in front of a large stove. "Hello, we want to buy guns for battleships, what styles do you have here? What about the price? ”

The blacksmith was shirtless, shiny with sweat, shining in front of the fire, and spoke in a rough voice. "Follow me." He led us to a row of different cannons by the wall and said: "The worst is this, flat cannons, with a range of two kilometers, can fire two rounds per minute, and the power is very poor and often explodes. ”

"What do you mean by exploding?"

"It's just that the shell didn't go out and exploded in the barrel!"

"Oh! You continue! ”

"Flat cannons cost 1,000 crystals each. This is a cannon with a range of 2.5 kilometers and can fire 3 shells per minute, with average power and 1200 crystals per gun. This is a heavy canon, with a range of 3 kilometers, a rate of fire of 4 rounds per minute, and a high power, 1500 crystal coins per door. This is a chain gun, with a range of 3 km, a rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute, and the same power as the heavy canon, 1800 crystals per gun. The last one is a breech-loading fortress gun, with a range of 4 km, a rate of fire of 6 rounds per minute, and a huge power, 3000 crystal coins per gun. Okay, that's all, you guys slowly decide, choose to call me. ”

Seeing that the blacksmith was gone, we quickly slipped out. Rose, who studied economics, once again acted as an accountant and calculated: "If you want to have a firepower advantage, you have to buy that fortress gun, and we need 1.8 million if we want 600 guns!" ”

"Oh my God! More expensive than a boat! "I really can't stand the blow." Money, money, I want money! "I look up to the sky and roar!

"How much do you want?" I was startled by the sudden answer of a familiar and unfamiliar voice.

"Are you ......? The wind is ethereal! "I finally recognize it, isn't this the big money that bought my demon pet egg last time!" Why are you here? ”

"This is the location of the branch of my guild, and I recently heard that they were beaten badly by Japanese pirates, so I'll take a look!"

I suddenly became nervous, Feng Yin Miao is the elder brother of the red moon, since he is here, then the red moon will not ......!

"I've finally found you!" It's really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived! Red Moon ran from the side. "Last time I just went offline for a while and you slipped away, this time I caught it!"

"Hey, hey!" I can't laugh naturally! "Why are you here too?"

"The coastal branch of our Goddess League has also been attacked, so my brother and I came over to take a look. But you, tell me, what are you doing here? "I haven't seen the red moon for a few days, and it's still so fierce!

"We're here to fight pirates, too!"

"That's right, we'll be together then!" Feng Yin Miao smiled and said, "You just shouted that the money wouldn't be because the money for the boat was not enough, right?" ”

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

"Last time, you even had to sell the money of one million crystal coins to make up the magic pet, and it cost hundreds of thousands to build a boat, plus buy some peripheral equipment, I estimate that I can't beat it without more than one million. Say, how much are you missing? I'll lend you! "Feng Yin Miao is worthy of being the president of the No. 1 guild in the Central Plains, and he is really good at being a man with generous shots!

The red moon stopped the wind Yin Miao. "Wait, I'll borrow it!" I looked at Hongyue in surprise and wondered when she would change sex! But the following words make me sure that she hasn't changed at all. "Purple Sun! From now on, I will be your creditor, and you must listen to me! If you don't have the money to pay it back, don't pay it back, use it yourself to pay off the debt! I don't mind! "Dizzy, this girl wants to buy me! It's a pity that my identity is different, and I may be okay in the game, but my real net worth is not something that no one can buy!

"Ethereal, I really need money, I won't be polite to you, twisting and pinching is not my style. But I'll do my best to pay it back! ”

Feng Yin Miao smiled and said, "It's okay, I don't care." Actually, I hope you don't pay it back! ”

"Huh?" I was shocked, didn't this brother and sister both want to buy me!

"The few demon pet eggs you sold last time almost didn't let a few elders in our guild get into a fight, it's better for you to help us get a few more than to pay back!" That's what he meant! Scared the hell out of me! I thought he had that hobby!

"No problem! I'll make sure I'll find time to catch some good ones for you! ”

"That's fine! Say, how much? ”

I turned around to look at the rose, and the rose immediately understood what I meant. "4 million!" It's not like the rose lion is opening his mouth. Those cannons cost 1.8 million, the necessary sailors for navigation cost about 400,000, which is 2.2 million, plus the estimated 3.5 million hired combat sailors, and I don't know how much the bow statue is! Judging from the generally exaggerated prices of magic items, the remaining 500,000 may not be enough!

"So much?" Although Feng Yin Miao is very rich, he didn't expect us to spend so much money on shipbuilding. "How many boats do you have?"

"1 of a kind!" Looking at Feng Yin's misty chin that fell, I smiled awkwardly. "Hey, hey! It's just a little bigger! ”

"I'm afraid it's not bigger, right?" Feng Yin Miao has his own fleet, and he knows very well how much a ship costs! "4 million is still the difference, and your entire ship is estimated to be more than 5 million?"

"You guessed right! Our shipbuilding cost is 1.6 million, and the 4 million borrowed from you is to buy peripheral equipment! ”

"Isn't a 1.6 million ship very big? Did you spend so much money? Feng Yin took out a dockyard shipbuilding manual suspiciously. My ship is already the largest, the shipbuilding cost is 1.8 million, and the peripheral equipment doesn't cost you so much! ”

Rose stepped forward to explain. "Our ship was requested by Ziri in a special case, his charm value is relatively high, the shipyard opened a back door to specially build a super large warship, the actual cost is 2.8 million crystal coins, because we have no money, we exchanged it with him to set a price of 1.6 million!"

"Oh my God! Then the actual total cost of your ship is not 6.8 million crystal coins? When will it be built? I'm going to see the first giant ship in China! ”

"If you are interested, come to the dock tomorrow at noon and wait for us, and we will watch her enter the water together. After all, there are also your investments here, no! ”

"This is money, I still have to go to my own guild to solve the problem of the fleet, so I won't accompany you." After saying that, Feng Yin Miao pulled the red moon and walked away. What a woman! Scared the hell out of me!

I got the money and first went to the blacksmith and ordered cannons from him, and then I went to the Sailors' Guild to hire the necessary sailors. Looking at the eagle and the others, I asked: "What about the combat sailors?" ”

Bai Ling said: "We should hire more melee sailors." Our ranged firepower is already exaggerated, and mage archers are actually of little use! If the enemy really dares to rush within range of mages and archers, it is clear that they are going to engage in white-knuckle combat, so it is better to recruit more melee sailors. ”

Rose said: "Then 2,000 heavily armed swordsmen, 500 rocket soldiers, and 50 of each of the four mages, just 2,700 people!" ”

"Then it's decided!" I directly reported this figure to the old man in charge of the hiring of sailors, and another 1.3 million crystal coins were gone, plus the necessary sailors, we spent 1.695 million crystal coins just to hire sailors! Coupled with the 1.8 million that bought the cannon, 3.495 million crystal coins will be gone! It's so easy to spend money!

With the last 505,000 yuan, we came to the Mage Association District, and the Mage Association in the city felt like the Sihe Courtyard in old Beijing, with a small square surrounded by tall towers. "Dark Mage Association, Chaos Mage Association, Fire Mage Association, Water Mage Association, Light Mage Association, Auxiliary Mage Association, Spirit Mage Association, Necromancer Association、......、 Life Mage Association!" On time, the big pot of rice was counted one by one. "Good guys, more than 70!"

"What should I do? Too much! "Bai Ling's head is dizzy!

"Why don't we split up?" I said: "One person is responsible for several, write down all the more useful ones in the bow portrait you see, and then we will compare and select the most suitable one, and then decide on a few key targets for us to go in and see together." ”

"Good! Look at it separately! "We were all assigned tasks and scattered, and I was in charge of the middle seven.

Fortunately, although there are many associations, each of them is not big, at least the few I see are not big. The things in these seven guilds are all good, and I finally took a fancy to the Archdemon Bow of the Dark Society, the Ivorit Bow of the Fire Mage Association, and the Holy Angel Bow of the Light Mage Association. The three bow statues have their own characteristics, and they are all about the same price. The most expensive is the particularly popular statue of the Holy Angel, which actually costs 510,000 crystal coins, and I suspect that her beautiful appearance caused such a high shipment! In the end, it is the devil who sells badly like the cheapest, and 470,000 can be easily done! It seems that the value of the gods is also affected by the supply and demand of the market! Poor devil!

By the time everyone came out, it was already night, and we still had too many choices after a long time, mainly the Great Demon Statue that can greatly increase the melee power of the ship, the Ivhrit Statue that can prevent fire and increase the power of a certain amount of artillery fire, the Holy Angel Statue that greatly increases the speed of all crew members in terms of health and other attributes, the Hammer Statue that makes the ship stronger and difficult to be injured, the Skeleton Statue that causes fear and mundane mistakes in the opposing crew, and the Half Moon Statue that makes the ship semi-invisible, The Virgin statue that greatly increases the morale of the crew and increases the speed of the movement and the speed of firing guns, the statue of the dragon that greatly increases the long-range firepower of the battleship and increases the durability of the dΓΉ, the statue of the giant shark that makes it difficult for the ship to sink and greatly increases the speed of the warship, and the statue of the wind god that keeps the battleship in a tailwind state at all times.

After a heated discussion, there was no result at all, so we had to arrange them according to the price, first removing the angels and virgins that we couldn't afford, and then removing the few that were not cost-effective, and finally we couldn't make a decision between whether to use the Great Demon or the Skull or the Half Moon or the Dragon!

In the end, I really can't help it! We used the most boring, the most helpless, the stupidest, and at the same time the most traditional, practical, and effective way to decide which bow to use!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Guess how I decided on the ship's bow?
