Chapter 182 Money Ability

The air suddenly became silent, and the next second, there was a wail.

"My Goddess of Ice and Snow, he is no ordinary Kaizi!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess won't let us hack his money, what should we do?"

Ivanov puffed his beard and glared: "Have you seen that Demon God General at the port? Do you know what will happen to the guy from the Ten Thousand Worlds Reunion Association? Whoever dares to blackmail his money will be the fate!"

The boatmen collectively fell silent.

Different worlds have different rules.

On Earth, when a rich country in urgent need of high-tech weapons buys arms from a large Eastern country, the cost price is often converted into U.S. dollars, and a zero is added, and they have to pinch their noses to admit it.

Who said you can't do it?

The rules for building warships in this world are very simple. As long as the ship is not purchased by a hostile country, the superiors will approve it. That is, the gross profit must not exceed 25%.

There is no way, raising a battleship is definitely a big money-burning matter.

Ordinary characters really can’t afford to burn.

However, it would be too extravagant to turn a semi-finished product into a supply ship with a cost of 15 million lite dollars.

Ivanov still has a way.

"What the noble man said is 'having a certain ability to protect oneself'. It depends on who you compare with. No mortal warship can compare with the [Caribbean]. Have you heard about Leiden City? [Caribbean] But it is an extraordinary warship that can ignore all the coastal defense artillery in the world with its extraordinary power."

The boatmen suddenly understood and shouted in unison: "Boss, we understand!"

"The rules must not be broken! The cost is 15 million, not a penny less! I will contact my old friends right now."

The Mechanicum accepts people regardless of nationality, but the great craftsmen have nationalities.

Basically, the craftsman does this job, and then uses the money earned from this job to work on his next creative goal.

The most torturous thing is the helpless loss of funds.

The emperor slapped his forehead and said that he would not build warships, which made everyone related to the ship miserable.

The designers at the Ship and Artillery Design Institute had no living expenses and still had some savings, but the shipwrights couldn't get enough of it.

Without Mark, the god of wealth, to come and change the ship, they would really be miserable.

Now, buy one get one free, get two ships at once.

Funding for next year has also been secured.

The point is not the big dog's lite dollars, but that he still has the ability to get a lot of coupons from big sects. There is a point exchange operation between various sects. The craftsmen of the Mechanicus can also redeem points from the Art Sect or the Twin Goddess for points within the Mechanicus. This is what they value most.

In addition, Helena's path to study with local mechanical craftsmen became much smoother.

The time came to February 14th, a delicate day.

Mark can finally get rid of the boring and musty life in the manor, and return to a normal adventurous life from the days of 'hibernation'.

On this day, the streets of Austin Port were empty, and people spontaneously bid farewell to Mark, the great hero who saved the port.

Well, maybe I can't bear to part with a certain funder's father, which is also a very important reason.

At least the cheers and the towels swaying on the window sill couldn't be faked.

On the pier, the drumming was noisy. This time, Princess Anastasia was not a temporary hire, but actually found a military band to play gongs and drums in advance. Expensive pure wool carpets were also laid from the entrance of the port area to the pier of the pier.

Mark felt a little bit sick because the two princesses had a sparkling aura when they met this time.

The reason was that Anastasia saw Marianne's bun on the back of her head.

Twelve unique gold hairpins, paired with Marianne's luxurious jeweled dress, made her look like a peacock with its tail spread.

No, plus Yolanda, it’s two peacocks.

Although Mark knew that only male peacocks could open their tails, it was just that smell.

The two girls first stayed with Mark until midnight, and then on this cold day before spring, at four o'clock in the morning, they got up without an alarm clock and started putting on makeup under the service of the maid.

What makes Mark miserable is that the three Yaerdai girls seem to have taken refuge with them recently. It didn't seem like much on the surface, but that kind of tacit understanding couldn't fool Mark.

Now, let’s have a good farewell, but Marianne made it feel like a war.

Women's war!

He originally thought that Anastasia on the other side would not follow suit, but Mark found that he had been mistaken, and the other side was even more outrageous - the eldest princess was wearing a set of sacrificial robes called Stihari. This kind of sacrificial robe with a pure white background is studded with blessings praising the goddess of ice and snow, and every word is embroidered with pure gold silk.

A gold-rimmed white shoulder strap specially designed for saints has the talisman of the Ice and Snow Goddess inlaid with sapphires.

However, the shoulder strap around the neck was in a V-shape around the low-cut top.

In the very center of the valley, there is a cryolite the size of an egg.

Not only does it highlight the privileges of the saint, but it also highlights the qualitative violence of the saint.

Fortunately, Marian seemed to be well prepared and responded with a level of violence that was not inferior to that of the Saint.

Anastasia has the blessing of a saint, and Marianne brings a Yolanda and a bun. In this round, Marianne's combination should be slightly better.

Mark only found out later that Yolanda was Marian's cousin within three generations.

The cousins ​​were at that station, and it felt like the Saint had lost a bit.

Just when Mark thought there would be dialogue with a strong green tea flavor, the dialogue style between the two parties was like this.

The Ice Saint came over and took the third princess's hand: "Huh? My sister has changed her hairstyle. Congratulations."

The third princess looked happy: "It was a bit difficult, but it was still successful."

"Then..."

"I am also a person infected with [abnormality], and I am very happy now."

"My best wishes to you."

"Thanks!"

"You must take good care of Mr. Destiny."

"I will."

As an observer, Mark felt that this dialogue was quite nonsensical. Not to mention that there was no tea smell, he still vaguely felt that Anastasia seemed... relieved?

Anyway, he couldn't understand the brain circuit of this eldest princess. At first it was a bit like trying to get into trouble, but then Mark refused, but she politely did not cross the line again and maintained a friendly relationship with each other.

In any case, he is here, and his presence itself has been of great help to the eldest princess, not to mention the additional help in terms of funds.

After the two women had a 'confrontation', the eldest princess Yingying came to Mark: "Fortunately, I know that you will come back as soon as you go. I hope that after you come back, we can carry out more in-depth cooperation."

"It depends on the situation." Mark didn't finish his words.

Here, Director Ivanov repeatedly promised: "Your Excellency Destiny, by the time you come back, the ship will probably be almost completely renovated. If you want to hire sailors, we have many good guys here who are willing to work with you." Swim the ocean.”

"Well, I should invite some people and we'll talk about it when I get back."

In the voice of Austin's military and civilians reluctant to leave their sponsor father, Mark got on the improved Caribbean.

On the surface, the boat is still the same boat, with a very streamlined bullet shape, which looks beautiful day or night.

Only when you move in can you feel a lot of changes.

Just like in 'that swimming pool', there is now the most powerful 'constant temperature' system of this era - a heating system installed in most places on the entire ship, which burns steam through boilers and sends the steam to the entire ship.

The steam-heated hot water is mixed with the swimming pool water in a small mixing tank, adjusted to the appropriate temperature, and then sent to the indoor swimming pool.

Although the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor makes the floor-to-ceiling glass covered with a thick layer of water mist, making it impossible to enjoy the sea view outside, there is no interference from the cold sea breeze.

Mark felt very comfortable watching the mermaids swimming in the indoor pool.

Originally, Mark was thinking that once he went north, he would need the Caribbean to break the ice. Facts have proved that he underestimated his ability to make money.

"Why are you so troublesome? If you want to keep it secret, why don't we lend you an icebreaker?" Ivanov settled it with just one idea.

About one kilometer in front of the pure white hull of the Caribbean, Conrad was commanding a group of crew members to navigate a medium-sized icebreaker with a displacement of 3,000 tons.

"Kaka, kakka!" The powerful icebreaker acted as the vanguard and drove all the way along the sea coordinates given by Mark.

For a moment, Mark was worried, what if he hit an iceberg?

He didn't want the Caribbean to become a second Titanic.

Later he discovered that his worries were unnecessary.

There was no sonar in this era, but there was human sonar.

The strength of the Storm Children lies in the fact that nothing on the sea can be hidden from them.

Using the miniature temple built on the icebreaker, as long as the Storm Priest is praying, his perception can be continuously spread in all directions, including abnormalities above and below the water.

The only difference between different levels of Storm Priests lies in how far their perception spreads and how fine their perception is.

As long as there is no negligence of duty, the iceberg that threatens the Caribbean will never hit it.

After sailing north for five days, we finally entered the sea surrounded by ice.

Seeing the icebreaker kowtowing in front of the big ship to clear the way, Mark almost had the impulse to buy this icebreaker and rename it "Vikrant".

After thinking about it, it was somewhat unlucky to have the same name as Asan's aircraft carrier, and there was no need for this kind of icebreaker in other sea areas, so I finally gave it up.

The right hand of [Valkyrie's Right Hand] is getting closer and closer, and in the soul boundary of Mark Hall of Valor, the soul line representing the connection between the body and the arm is getting thicker and thicker.

It's just that direction that makes Mark feel a little bit pained.

As the ship sailed into a sea full of ice floes, Mark was surprised to find that the angle of the soul line began to go downwards.

"My lord, what's wrong?" Ren asked.

"Hell! That thing is probably under the sea!"

【20】The risk and reward of a point are always directly proportional.

Mark didn’t want to start a water fight, and he probably didn’t expect the outcome to be what he wanted.

He began to miss the supply ship still on the slipway. If that ship was there, he could send away the ordinary people on the ship and let the Caribbean sail directly to the spiritual world.

But now, he has no choice but to let the [Ghost Ship] return to the world.
