When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean. Chapter 67: Shipping Goods to Make Money

The price of ships now has skyrocketed, and this ship of Black Blade’s could probably fetch a few thousand gold at most.

That still leaves Chen Qing with a shortfall of over sixty thousand.

However, Chen Qing was not panicking, as a pirate’s bounty, trading chanical Creations, and salvaging gems were all sources of inco.

Especially after she collected Daliya’s bounty, it was inevitable that a large number of pirates and Hunters would set their sights on her.

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

After settling the cost of the chanical Spider Bombs, Chen Qing opened a private chat channel.

The chat channel now had over 200 survivors, professionals, or Transcendents—basically all owning their own ships and with a certain base of assets.

[Chen Qing: Everyone in the channel can get 2 chanical Spider Bombs for free trial.]

[Gao Yue: I’m here.]

[Qiao Zhiyu: Here 2.]

[Chen Qing: Speaking of which, do you guys know about the Gemstone Hurricane in the Gem Sea?]

[Gao Yue: ?]

Chen Qing had no intention of hiding and shared what she knew in the chat channel.

[Zhao Sifang: I knew there’s a fortune to be made by following the big shots! I’m setting out for the Gem Sea right now!]

[Chen Qing: The route of the Hurricane has not been detected yet, everyone might want to wait around the periter of the Gem Sea for now.]

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

Chen Qing sent out chanical Spider Bombs in the form of physical red packets in the private channel, distributing a total of 426 chanical Spider Bombs in accordance with the number of individuals.

Naturally, activating this feature also costs goldfish.

[Bai Mo Fei: Everyone, be careful. There are many other races in the sea area I’m in, and they are also preparing to head to the Gem Sea.]

[Bai Mo Fei: A lot of rfolk! The competition should be fierce!]

With Chen Qing being so generous, others in the channel were naturally not stingy either, plus everyone had a substantial base of assets.

It wasn’t long before Chen Qing received a large number of bomb orders, as well as special products from various seas.

Fruits, vegetables, fresh flowers, ornants, toys, clothing—so many quirky things. Although they weren’t valuable, they were still a nice gesture.

The cost of a chanical Spider was between two to three Silver Crabs, even lower than a Sea Water Purifier. Chen Qing sold each for twenty Silver Crabs, which seed like a cutthroat price.

This was mainly because the chanical factory had greatly reduced costs, completely eliminating the need for labor; in fact, the material costs were not high.

Now in need of money, Chen Qing didn’t feel any issue selling the chanical Spider Bombs at a high price since they were not essential items.

chanical Bombs of the sa level on the market were even more expensive than Chen Qing’s.

Chen Qing had already dropped the price of the Sea Water Purifier to six silver coins each for survivors, basically making no profit from it.

However, her daily output was limited, selling only 3,000 units, and a survivor ID could only purchase once every three months.

Indeed, selling armants was more profitable.

After a trial by the survivors in the channel, they started placing orders en masse, as having a couple on hand for self-defense was a good idea.

More reliable than ordinary bombs.

In half an hour, Chen Qing had received orders for a hundred thousand units, and the number was still climbing.

With a hundred thousand Spider Bombs, Chen Qing could make two thousand goldfish. If she sold three million Spider Bombs, she would have enough money for a custom-built ship.

Chen Qing, having done the math, thoughtfully considered that perhaps the cost of the ship could be further increased.

Besides the chanical Spider Bombs, Chen Qing had another big moneymaking weapon.

[D-level · Environnt Adaptation Device (Dark Green)]

The Environnt Adaptation Device, as the na suggests, was a device that could help people adapt to external environnts.

The na of this set of equipnt, to be more precise, should be called Underwater Environnt Adaptation Device.

It’s tailor-made for gemstone salvaging operations; it’s hard to imagine how much the gem hunters would be willing to pay to purchase it.

The existing underwater devices on the market are priced from 1 to 100 goldfish, with blue being the highest quality available.

More advanced underwater devices are considered custom-made, and ordinary people simply cannot afford them.

Chen Qing’s blueprint is of very good quality, and the cost is not high.

As long as she can mass-produce them, taking advantage of the Gemstone Hurricane this ti, she may not even need to hunt pirates to gather enough funds for the custom fee of the ship.

And she should still have a considerable surplus.

Chen Qing imdiately began to work on studying, polishing, and assembling. Now with the help of Assistant Bee, her efficiency had doubled.

Producing products and mass production was no issue at all, the biggest problem was the materials.

In less than half a day, Chen Qing made three sets of Underwater Environnt Adaptation Devices.

One set followed the blueprint, while the other two were downgraded and improved versions, respectively light green, dark green, and blue in quality.

These three sets of devices targeted gem hunters with different budget levels.

The device is similar to a spacesuit but is more form-fitting and less bulky, and also has so attack power.

Especially the blue quality device, Chen Qing estimated that it could allow a person to move freely underwater like the rfolk.

Of course, this was just an estimated effect, and more accurate results would need to be verified by her personally.

Chen Qing pondered for a mont and decided to ask Zhao Fuli and the others to join her for so experintal testing.

Since it was an experint, it was necessary to find more samples; after all, these devices were to be mass-produced and sold to gem hunters.

It couldn’t just be theorizing on paper.

Chen Qing found so more materials from the warehouse to make several more sets.

But as soon as she stood up, disturbances ca from the waters below the cabin window.

Chen Qing’s ship was anchored just outside the boundary of Sapphire Island’s dock, which ant that she and her ship were not under the protection of Sapphire Island.

Attacking her here would not be influenced by Sapphire Island’s rules.

Chen Qing had deliberately created this opportunity for the pirates, but she did not expect them to co so late.

She glanced outside and saw that it was already close to nightfall.

It had been more than two days and one night since she received the bounty, and yet the pirates were only just starting to make their move.

And the strength of the attacker outside seed a bit too weak; her movents were quite obvious.

There is a slight difference between the sound of the seawater moving naturally and that of soone swimming underwater.

As there was only her ship in this area, Chen Qing heard it very clearly.

She wondered which pirate group the person below belonged to.

Chen Qing casually threw a few chanical Spider Bombs into the water, which detonated instantaneously, staining the surrounding sea red with blood.

A body slowly floated to the surface.

[Survivor Chen Qing has killed a reconnoitre of Reynold’s family pirate group, receiving 0.1 Extraordinary Points.]

The Reynold’s family, Chen Qing had almost forgotten this na due to being too busy these past few days.

They were already on the island, after all.

Chen Qing glanced at the corpse; the fresh flesh made the Blood Spirit inside a glass bottle begin to surge wildly.

It made no sound, but Chen Qing’s ears seed to be filled with terrible roars.

With the lowest blood volu and having been confined for so long, the Blood Spirit was at its limit and barely alive; however, the fresh corpse now rekindled its last vitality.
