Core

"Do you understand?" Old Wang asked the group after taking the booklet from the Quartermaster.

"Don't know!"

Everyone immediately shook their heads. What a joke! This is Interstellar Flying Boat, not a car. Who could possibly understand this thing?

"Brother Ma, we don't know anything about this, why don't you help me choose one?" Wang Qianduo said, looking at Quartermaster Ma again.

"In fact, the Flying Boat provided by this Alliance are essentially divided into two categories: one is high-performance but not readily available."

This type of Flying Boat is more than 20% better than similar ones, but there is a waiting list, and it may take two or three months to pick it up.

The other option is one with Normal performance, but you can drive it away right now; I recommend that one.

Flying Boat are actually a benefit given to us by the Alliance. With teleportation so advanced now, there are very few safe Star Domain without teleportation towns.

Almost no one drives them; they're mostly rented to caravans to haul goods. The sooner you get them, the sooner you make money.

They rented the boat without even loading weapons, so they wouldn't care about the Ark's performance.

"And if you don't want it, you can sell it. The Interstellar Flying Boat is quite valuable!" the Quartermaster told Old Wang, explaining in great detail.

"You can still sell them? Can you still sell Alliance rewards?" Wang Qianduo asked in surprise. Wasn't this a mistake?

"Of course you can sell the things I gave you as a reward. If you don't have a way, your brother does."

"This thing is valuable enough to replace the core of an Interstellar Battleship!" the Quartermaster continued.

"Interstellar Battleship core?" Old Wang and the others' eyes lit up upon hearing this. This really was an easy find! Then he continued:

"Brother Ma, to be honest, I don't really need the Interstellar Flying Boat, but I do need the Core Device of the Interstellar Battleship. Do you have any connections to help me get a replacement?"

He always uses "you" when there's nothing wrong and "you" when there's something to discuss; Old Wang's years in the workplace have certainly paid off.

"Oh, I see! That's really difficult! Although their prices are similar, warship cores are controlled items..."

As the Quartermaster was speaking, he suddenly felt a Diamond appear in his hand, and it was a top-quality Red Diamond.

"The Southern Corps recently delivered a Strategic Ship, which was somewhat damaged in its core."

After we fixed it, they replaced the core and went back to the front lines.

"I wonder if you can accept a brother like this?" Quartermaster Ma said after thinking for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qianduo smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course! Then I thank Brother Ma in advance!"

He liked people like the Quartermaster Ma, who were honest and straightforward in taking money and doing things right.

The Southern Fleet's Strategic Ship are at least Nebula-class warships; giving them core weapons of this caliber is truly a waste of their talents.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, Old Wang and the others directly retrieved the core of the Interstellar Battleship from him.

After they left, the Quartermaster Ma went to General Huang and handed him the Red Diamond, while also reporting the situation without revealing a single detail.

"Such a huge Red Diamond, this kid is really rich! Alright, let's just keep this to ourselves, you can keep the diamond!" General Huang said with a smile.

"General, why are you deliberately distancing yourself from him? This lad may be a bit wild, but he's actually quite capable," asked Security Officer Chi Xu.

Contrary to Wang Qianduo's guess, General Huang did not actually disregard his life; rather, he did so intentionally to distance himself from him.

"Is it because of Xiao Rui?" the Quartermaster asked tentatively.

General Huang didn't speak, but his cold expression clearly showed that the Quartermaster was right.

"You just need to know about Xiao Rui's matter. I already have some leads. I won't let those people get away with this!" Old Huang.

"Yes!"

~~~

Wang Qianduo didn't have time to care about what Old Huang was doing; they had just obtained the warship core that all guilds dreamed of and were studying how to use it.

"What are you researching! The blueprints aren't even here yet!" Lin Qimeng said.

"Sis, is your accent influenced by Old Wang?" Xiao Hai.

"Get out!"

"Others have blueprints but no core technology, but we're different. We have all sorts of things but no blueprints," Old Ma said.

"Yes, and these blueprints aren't actually that easy to come by," said the Sword of Miracles.

Don't be fooled by the fact that most guilds have almost completed the collection of images; they paid a heavy price for it in the first place.

Currently, the only known way to obtain warship blueprints in the game is through random missions in the Task Hall.

However, this task requires a lot of manpower and resources to complete, and there is only a very small chance of obtaining it.

"Let's not think about it too much. Let's go check with Fatty You first," Old Wang said. Buying something would be the best outcome, of course.

Fairy City

Fatty Zhou's Shop

He has already bought this place, and has finally established a firm foothold in Fairy City. Fatty Zhou's ability to buy this place was actually thanks to Wang Qianduo.

Here's what happened: as Old Wang accumulated more and more items, his warehouse was overflowing.

He learned from Fatty Zhou that the game also allowed players to rent houses, and that gave him an idea.

He was busy for a while and put the matter off. Later, when he went to the place where he was buying the house, he found out that the house couldn't be used as a warehouse and could be stolen, so he gave up the idea of buying the house.

But it was on that very day that Fatty You went to pay his rent and happened to run into Old Wang was discussing buying a house.

After pausing for a while, he sensed something was wrong. Judging from the tone of the sales staff, it seemed that it wasn't that they were unwilling to sell, but rather that Old Wang didn't want to buy.

Fatty You seized a few opportunities to say, "If he won't buy, I will!" and repeatedly emphasized that he and Old Wang were good friends.

Wang Qianduo made his move under cover of Dark Night that day, so the Property Sales Office staff naturally took it very seriously. After confirming with Old Wang, Fatty You successfully acquired his current shop.

Who wants to repair something they can buy? He had wanted to buy it before, but what he lacked wasn't money, but connections.

Moreover, after acquiring this shop, he completely ruined his status as the top merchant in the game.

Old Wang helped him out, and he was extremely grateful!

As soon as Old Wang arrived, he came out to greet him even before Old Wang reached the store.

"Haha, Brother Wang, please come in! Please come in!" Fatty You said obsequiously, completely lacking the arrogance Old Wang had shown when he first met him.

"Brother You, you're too kind. I still prefer your arrogant self from back then!" Wang Qianduo said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fatty You immediately straightened his tie and then very formally said to Wang Qianduo, "Please!"

"Yes! That's it!"

Old Wang and the others chatted and laughed with Fatty You as they entered the shop and went to the area they used for discussing business.

This Fatty You is no longer allowed to be used by anyone else; it's reserved specifically for entertaining Old Wang and his group.

"Brother You, I'll be frank. I've come here to ask if you have any blueprints for Interstellar Battleship, or any information at all!" Wang Qianduo asked.

"Brother, you've come at the right time! Just wait here, I'll have someone go get it for you right away! Sigh~" Fatty You sighed as he spoke.

"Um...we'll pay." Wang Qianduo.

"Misunderstanding! Misunderstanding! I absolutely didn't mean that, it's just that this thing you bought reminded me of a sad memory!" Fatty You immediately explained, then he added:

"That was when the blueprints for Interstellar Battleship first came out. I thought we would need them to establish a guild, so I bought a lot of them at a high price."

You know what happened next. Luckily, items in the game weren't as expensive back then, or I would have gone bankrupt.

Who knows, the blueprints aren't the key point at all; the core issue is... Brother, you wouldn't...?

Fatty You was talking, he suddenly realized, what did this guy want the blueprints for? He actually only wanted the blueprints!

After spending time with Wang Qianduo and his group several times, he knew that this team was direct and efficient, and they would never do anything in vain.

Since they want the warship blueprints, it means they must have obtained the core of Interstellar Battleship.

Old Wang and the others didn't deny what he said, which was taken as tacit agreement.

They're going to establish a guild; this can't be hidden, and there's no need to hide it.

"Would you sell the way you got this? The price is negotiable!" Fatty You immediately asked Wang Qianduo, as if it were his professional habit.

"It's useless for you to buy my channels; there's no common ground," Wang Qianduo said with a smile and a shake of his head.

Fatty You agreed wholeheartedly; he had already witnessed this man's strength, and this shop was proof of it.
