Looking at the enchanted firearms in front of him, especially the sniper rifle, Fang Yu took a deep breath, feeling very tempted.
However... the enchanted modification of the ship is urgent. It’s better to first check the cost of the ship’s enchanted modification and then decide whether to buy the enchanted firearms.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu called the server over to inquire in detail about the cost of ship enchantnt.
"What part does the custor want to enchant?"
"Heavy armor!"
Fang Yu did not hesitate and spoke directly.
This ti the ship was surrounded by two other ships, and after a round of synchronized cannon fire, it only had about 50% durability left.
If it had taken two more shots, the ship would have shattered on the spot, and Fang Yu and the others would be finished.
This was with only two ships surrounding them.
What if... they encountered a pirate gang with three ships?
With one round of synchronized shots, no matter how strong his Stacked Energy Bullets were, if the ship broke, there would be no room for output.
So at this mont, Fang Yu wanted to strengthen the ship’s defensive capability to provide himself with the ultimate output space, so that no matter who the enemy is, Fang Yu is confident he can crush them.
The shield is Fang Yu’s own turtle shell.
Now the ship also needs a turtle shell of its own!
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s request, the clerk showed a friendly smile and gently introduced:
"For dium-sized cargo ships, there are three different specifications of alchemy enchantnt standards."
"The first is apprentice-level alchemist enchantnt..."
"The second is professional-level alchemist..."
"The third is senior-level alchemist..."
"How much for the third?" Fang Yu interrupted the clerk, asking directly.
"The cost of hiring a senior-level alchemist is 500,000 Copper Coins per session."
The smile on the clerk’s face grew a little friendlier, as the bigger the order, the higher the commission.
"Hiss..."
Upon hearing the clerk’s words, Fang Yu took a sharp breath.
Damn...
It’s well-known that the path of alchemy technology is notoriously costly, but I didn’t expect it to be this costly.
Just an initial alchemy enchantnt is that expensive?!
500,000 Copper Coins, how can a normal Blue Star Captain make that much money?
Probably only those with extraordinary talent or heirs of financial conglorates can afford a senior alchemist.
"Can it be cheaper?"
Fang Yu struggled.
"Sir, the Alchemist Association never bargains."
The clerk shook his head: "It’s actually quite a bargain to hire a senior alchemist, as there is a certain probability of generating two enchantnt abilities, and even if there is only one, the ability effect far exceeds that of apprentice or professional enchantnt effects."
"Moreover, if the custor wishes to upgrade the enchantnt level to interdiate in the future, having a solid foundation laid by a senior alchemist will result in higher limits and possibilities."
"Most importantly, choosing a senior alchemist provides a guarantee chanism within the association; if the enchantnt ability is very poor, there is an option to re-enchant."
The clerk was very skilled, making every word touch Fang Yu’s heartstring, making him feel extrely tempted.
Damn... I know the salesperson is using tactics on , but I can’t seem to refuse it.
"Then..."
"Choose a senior alchemist then..."
Fang Yu sighed. Good things are always expensive.
Opting for the path of alchemical enhancent cos with the ntal preparation of burning cash.
You get what you pay for.
"Alright, the modification of the ship by the senior alchemist will take a total of three days, and after three days, the custor can use the ship as usual."
"Okay!"
Fang Yu nodded, then turned his gaze to the sniper rifle beside him.
After so thought, he spent 210k Copper Coins to buy the sniper rifle in front of him.
Now he had both offense and defense, making Fang Yu’s survival capabilities at sea a level stronger than during the ti he was transporting sea minerals.
Spending money gives a montary thrill; keep spending to keep the thrill. At this mont, Fang Yu experienced the feeling of being a money-burning enthusiast.
However, spend what you should, and save where you can.
For example...
When the clerk packed up the sniper rifle, Fang Yu couldn’t help but reach out, pointing to the product window beside him: "I’ve spent so much, just throw in that lightweight pistol for free!"
Clerk: ...
Alright, alright, you can’t suffer a bit of loss, can you?
The clerk felt exhausted but considering what a big client Fang Yu was who placed an order worth 700,000, a pistol for 7,000 Copper Coins.
After so thought, he just let it go.
Without saying anything, the clerk packed the pistol as well and handed it to Fang Yu. He then inquired about the specifications and location of Fang Yu’s ship and nodded, claiming the modification would be complete in three days.
Financial Change: 760k→50k
...
After leaving the Alchemist Association, Fang Yu did not hurry back to the ship but arranged a eting with the Ocean Court’s Law Enforcer—Wang Xiaohu.
Upon returning, he contacted Wang Xiaohu, asking him to introduce an experienced shooting instructor.
His marksmanship, through continuous practice, had beco quite proficient, but given Fang Yu’s current situation, he needed to address the issue of breath lock-on.
Drawing the gun and avoiding the perception of experts, silently and stealthily, and delivering a fatal shot to the expert.
Normal skills can be improved through practice.
But breath, rhythm, energy, and detailed skills still need a teacher’s guidance for a breakthrough.
Upon hearing Fang Yu’s needs, Wang Xiaohu pondered slightly, then nodded: "I happen to know a few shooting experts, all of them coaches within the court. If you want to hire them... it’ll be 10,000 Copper Coins a day, should be no problem."
"10,000 Copper Coins a day?!"
Fang Yu exclaid in shock.
Robbery?!
So expensive!
"Not that expensive."
Wang Xiaohu shook his head: "Anyone capable of teaching you these techniques is a top expert, who usually wouldn’t care about 10,000 Copper Coins a day, it’s just on my account that they’re charging a symbolic fee."
Fang Yu was petrified.
Alright...
The money in my wallet is only enough for 5 days...
Nevertheless, Fang Yu didn’t have that much ti anyway; just as the ship needed three days for enchanted modification.
He might as well practice firearm shooting techniques well during these three days...
Thinking of this, Fang Yu reluctantly and painfully handed over 30,000 Copper Coins to Wang Xiaohu.
Savings... were only 20,000 Copper Coins left.
Fang Yu’s heart bled, suddenly empathizing with those middle-class folks who went broke and could only deliver food as a last resort...
