Chronicles of Celestial Origins

The silver-white ship sailed to the exit under the city wall, and a guard holding a crossbow stepped forward to stop it: "Qing Linzi, you are going to sea again!"

Qing Linzi jumped off the ship, flipped his hands, took out several medium-grade spiritual stones, and handed them to the guard: "I am going to explore deeper waters this time, so I have gathered a few more friends."

The guard took the spirit stone and said, "Have a good trip."

Qing Linzi thanked him, and the silver-white ship sailed out of the city, took off into the sky, and headed toward the southwest.

Tang Ning stroked the hull of the ship and felt that it was as smooth as jade. The entire ship was shining with silvery white light, and its appearance looked very gorgeous: "What kind of ship is this?"

"Yuyun boat." Xiao Mobai replied.

It turned out that this was what they called the Yuyun Boat. Tangning suddenly asked, "Do you always take this boat when you go out to sea to hunt monsters?"

Xiao Mobai said: "The Yuyun Ship is a second-level spiritual weapon. It has good defensive capabilities. The six gun barrels on the left and right can launch light beam energy attacks. In addition, there are powerful fishing and hunting bombs installed at the bottom of the cabin."

"About how many spiritual stones is needed for such a Yuyun ship?"

"The price of a second-level Yuyun ship is around three to four hundred thousand spirit stones."

"Is this Yuyun boat owned by fellow Taoist Qinglinzi?"

"The five of us bought it together. Qing Linzi is the organizer of our team and can be considered the representative. He paid 60% of the spiritual stone cost, and the other four of us each contributed 10%."

Tang Ning asked, "Why did you park the Yuyun Boat inside that city wall?"

Xiao Mobai said: "This city outline is actually similar to a dock. There are eight docks like this on the entire island. Every hunting team will park the Yuyun boat at the dock for repair and maintenance. Even if it is not damaged, We also need to replenish the shells and energy.”

"A Yuyun ship can carry ten fishing and hunting shells when it is full. The energy contained in it can carry out sixty light beam attacks, which can travel a million miles. Therefore, it must be repaired and maintained every time to replenish energy and shells. , otherwise it cannot be exercised.”

"There are several property management pavilions within the city walls, which are responsible for the repair and maintenance of fishing boats. Don't underestimate these property management pavilions. They have the support of big forces behind them. Those who can open a property management pavilion must be able to make spiritual weapons. Otherwise, how can we repair and maintain it?”

Tangning asked in confusion: "Spiritual weapons are not driven by spiritual power. Can they just be equipped with spiritual stones?"

Xiao Mobai said: "Those are small spiritual weapons, such as crossbows and battle armors. They can be used after being installed with spiritual stones. But large spiritual weapons, such as warships and chariots, have many restrictions. I don't understand them very well. "Large-scale spiritual equipment is a very precise and complex instrument. Any problem will affect its normal use, so repair and maintenance are necessary."

Tangning asked, "How many spiritual stones do you need for each repair and maintenance?"

Xiao Mobai said: "This depends on the degree of damage to the Yuyun ship. Generally speaking, if it is just to replenish ammunition and charge energy, ten thousand spirit stones will be enough."

Just to replenish ammunition and energy required 10,000 spirit stones. Tangning was a little surprised: "Then how much profit did you make from one trip to sea?"

"It's hard to say, it depends on your luck. The monsters don't just stand there and let you hunt them. Sometimes you can catch more than a dozen monster beasts in one trip, and sometimes you can only kill two or three monster beasts."

"How many spiritual stones is an average monster worth?"

"This depends on the level of the monster. If it is a second-level low-grade monster, it usually requires 10,000 spirit stones, a second-order mid-grade monster, 20,000 spirit stones, and a second-order high-grade monster, 40,000 spirit stones."

"Where do you usually sell?"

"There are shops within the city walls that specialize in collecting and selling monster beasts. Just sell to them directly."

"Then why did Fellow Taoist Wang Jia set up a stall in the underground market last time?"

"Shops in the city purchase monsters at relatively low prices. Some people are unwilling to sell them at low prices and have nothing important to do, so they choose to resell them themselves."

"How long do you go to sea for at a time?"

"One or two years, no more than two years at most. Yuyun ships can travel millions of miles, and it is impossible to stay at sea for a long time."

Tang Ning nodded and made some calculations in her mind. The Yuyun Ship's escape speed was not too fast. It was similar to the escape speed of a monk in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. It might take a quarter of an hour to travel a hundred miles, and about a year or two to cover a million miles. .

"What's inside that?" Tangning asked, pointing to the boat canopy.

Xiao Mobai: "It's the control panel of the Yuyun ship."

"Can I go in and have a look?"

"certainly."

Tangning walked to the boat canopy, opened the silver door on one side, and walked in.

Inside, there is a huge stone platform, about two or three feet long, one foot wide, and three feet high. It's filled with colorful slots, handles and buttons.

Qing Linzi was sitting cross-legged on the ground. When he saw Tang Ning approaching, he opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "This is the first time for fellow Taoist Tang to go to sea on a Yuyun boat!"

Tang Ning did not shy away from it: "I have never seen this thing in Xingang before, so I came here to gain some knowledge."

Qing Linzi stood up and said: "I have never seen this thing when I was in Laogang. I didn't start to come into contact with it until I came to Xuanyi Island. Although there are so many slots, handles and buttons, it is actually very simple to control."

Tang Ning said: "Please give me some advice, fellow Taoist."

Qing Linzi said: "This stone platform is the control panel of the entire Yuyun Ship. It is divided into three parts."

"On the left is the attack system of the Yuyun ship. From left to right, the three red buttons on the top are the launching devices of the three Yuyun cannons on the left, and the three red buttons on the bottom are the launching devices of the three Yuyun cannons on the right. The center The two blue buttons are the launching devices for fishing and hunting bombs.”

"On the right is the defense system of the Yuyun ship. The black slot is to open the shield, the white slot is to unlock the shield, and the gray control is to release the poisonous mist."

"The middle part is the control center of the Yuyun ship. The upper row of handles is for accelerating and decelerating. The lower row of handles is for changing direction. The middle handle is for observing the structure of the Yuyun ship."

Qing Linzi pushed the middle handle forward, and a cloud of smoke rose from under the stone platform, gradually condensing into a picture with colorful and obscure shapes.

Qing Linzi explained: "This long yellow pointed object refers to fishing and hunting bombs. You see, there are ten here, which means ten fishing and hunting bombs are ready."

"This gray cloud of gas represents the toxic volume beneath the ship's hold."

"This red bottle represents the energy contained in the Yuyun ship, which will decrease as the ship is consumed."

"These silver-white pipe columns represent the energy state inside the Yuyun Cannon."

"There are also rows of green stars indicating that each device is in normal condition."

After what he said, Tangning immediately understood that all the devices of this console were indeed simple and easy to understand: "Fellow Taoist Qinglinzi, I heard that this ship requires three to four hundred thousand spirit stones, and you paid 60% of it alone, and the other four Only the remaining 40% has been paid, it seems that Taoist friends have a lot of background!”

Qing Linzi said: "To be honest, in order to buy this Yuyun boat, I invested all the belongings I have accumulated over the years. It can be said that this boat is all my wealth. Fortunately, I have been able to return to the sea after all these years. It’s a success, otherwise, I don’t know what to do.”

Tang Ning said: "There is a sentence that I don't know whether to ask or not?"

"But it doesn't matter. We casual cultivators don't have to pay too much attention to each other. We are all honest with each other."

"Since you jointly bought this Yuyun Boat, now that Taoist friend Li Yan is killed, how should his share be calculated?"

Qing Linzi smiled: "We have already discussed this matter. Hunting monsters at sea is not easy. Accidents may happen at any time. We each designated an heir to the inheritance. We originally wanted to give his share to his disciples. Yes. Now that his disciple has also been killed, his share will be divided equally among us."

"At that time, we will recruit another monk, and he will pay 10% of the fee, and the spiritual stones will be divided among the four of us."

Tang Ning said: "Fellow Taoist alone accounts for 60% of the profit. If we talk about hunting monster beasts, do fellow Taoists also account for 60% of the profit?"

Qing Linzi said: "Hunting monster beasts is the result of everyone's joint efforts. How can I alone get 60%? Because I invested more, I only get a share of the profit than others. There are five of us, and we get all Divide it into six parts, I get two and everyone else gets one.”

Tangning wondered: "Isn't that unfair to fellow Taoists? Your efforts and gains seem to be out of proportion."

Qing Linzi said: "Although I invested more money, I got twice as much as others. If I don't want to go to sea anymore and sell this ship, I will still get 60% of the return. Isn't it reasonable? This ship is equivalent to storage The fixed assets invested in the bank can be liquidated at any time, but my initial investment is slightly higher than others. "

After he made this comparison, Tang Ning understood that this was what being in love was.

To put it bluntly, their cooperation is only temporary and can be withdrawn at any time. Qinglinzi can sell the ship. If others want to leave, they can also find someone to replace them, as long as they hand over 10% of the spiritual stones. .

Tang Ning has been in Taoism for a long time and doesn't know much about the cooperation among casual cultivators, so he didn't turn around for a while. He originally thought that a few people cooperated to hunt monsters, and it was a small organization with a lifelong relationship. These people were bound and fixed. , but it was not what he thought at all.

After understanding this problem, he had something to ask, but it was not convenient for him to ask. How could such a temporary cooperation organization ensure that it would not take advantage of others?

If Qing Linzi kills the other people, wouldn't he be able to successfully swallow up their share of assets and get the ship for himself?

In the same way, if the other people killed Qing Linzi, wouldn't they also be able to share his original 60% share?

Seeing that he was silent and seemed to be thinking, Qing Linzi took the initiative and asked: "Do you have any doubts, fellow Taoist Tang?"

Tang Ning saw that he looked quite magnanimous, so she told the truth what she had just thought.
