Chapter 2325 – Crimson Dragon Flying s.h.i.+p
s.h.i.+ Feng fell silent for a long time as he stared at the tattered design in his hands. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t believe that Heathwaite had dropped a Flying s.h.i.+p Design.
Flying Mounts were incredibly rare in G.o.d’s Domain, and even with a Common Flying Mount, one would have endless bragging rights. Even the weakest Flying Mount was rarer and more precious than a Level 100-plus Epic Weapon.
Flying s.h.i.+ps, on the other hand, were even more amazing. The most ordinary Flying s.h.i.+p’s Movement Speed could rival an Extraordinary Flying Mount, and one could accommodate up to 100 people at a time. Their aerial combat abilities were even at the peak of Tier 3.
However, the main continent’s various countries had monopolized the technology for Flying s.h.i.+ps, and players typically had no way to get their hands on one. At best, players could rent an Airs.h.i.+p, which could only transport goods and people, from one of the kingdoms or empires. One would be dreaming if they thought to rent a Flying s.h.i.+p, an aerial weapon of ma.s.s destruction.
s.h.i.+ Feng had never even heard of anyone obtaining a Flying s.h.i.+p Design by killing a boss.
If players wanted to acquire a Flying s.h.i.+p Design, they’d have to raid a major NPC power’s main headquarters or steal one from one of the NPC kingdoms or empires. Of course, both methods were exceedingly dangerous.
There was a safer method; players could create one themselves.
The subcla.s.s requirements for creating a Flying s.h.i.+p, however, were immensely demanding, and players would have to invest a lot of effort and time into the research. As for the cost of creating one from scratch, even superpowers would have a hard time justifying such a ma.s.sive expense. Most superpowers would rather purchase a completed Flying s.h.i.+p.
Purchasing a Flying s.h.i.+p was much easier than purchasing a Flying s.h.i.+p Design. A Guild could do so through the Black Market or by earning a sufficiently high status in an NPC country. Regardless of which method a player or power relied on, the price would be exorbitant. Furthermore, players could only purchase a very limited number of Flying s.h.i.+ps.
As far as s.h.i.+ Feng knew, the easiest way to buy a Flying s.h.i.+p was to become a Duke in a kingdom. As a Duke, a player could purchase one Flying s.h.i.+p for 80,000 Gold. To acquire more, they’d have to try their luck in the Black Market.
Unfortunately, the Black Market only accepted Ancient Gold, not regular Gold.
And yet, s.h.i.+ Feng had just obtained a Flying s.h.i.+p Design after killing Heathwaite. If the various powers of his previous life had known this, they would’ve slaughtered every Ice Dragon in G.o.d’s Domain.
Unable to contain his excitement any longer, s.h.i.+ Feng clicked on the design to inspect its statistics. He wanted to know what rank this Flying s.h.i.+p Design was.
[Crimson Dragon Flying s.h.i.+p Design]
Can be used to construct a Common Flying s.h.i.+p with a maximum capacity of 100 people and peak Tier 3 combat power. The Crimson Dragon Flying s.h.i.+p carries eight Magic Cannons and one Magic Crystal Cannon. Piloting the Flying s.h.i.+p requires a minimum of six people. Producing the Flying s.h.i.+p requires 1,000 t.i.tan Silver, 10,000 Void Iron, 2,000 Mana Stones, and 100 Magic Elven Stones.
Sure enough, it is the most common type. s.h.i.+ Feng inwardly sighed when he saw the statistics.
If he had obtained a Bronze Flying s.h.i.+p Design, he could’ve ruled over the entire Cold Spring Forest without any issues. Bronze Flying s.h.i.+ps had Tier 4 combat power, after all, and would be a ma.s.sive threat to Tier 3 players. Not even s.h.i.+ Feng would escape from a Bronze Flying s.h.i.+p’s all-out a.s.sault with his life.
A Flying s.h.i.+p wasn’t a monster. It did not have the mobility flying monsters possessed, and it didn’t have monsters’ vast repertoire of Skills and Spells. The so-called ‘Tier 4 combat power’ didn’t mean that the Flying s.h.i.+p’s overall combat power was limited to Tier 4. Rather, each of the Flying s.h.i.+p’s attacks had peak Tier 4 power.
With over a dozen cannons, a Flying s.h.i.+p’s bombardment could even blow a Tier 4 apex expert to smithereens.
Without a Tier 4 Legendary Flying Mount or something even more powerful, they’d have to flee the moment they spotted a Bronze Flying s.h.i.+p.
After giving the matter some thought, s.h.i.+ Feng realized that he was being too greedy. Superpowers struggled just to obtain a single Common Flying s.h.i.+p, let alone a Bronze Flying s.h.i.+p.
One thousand t.i.tan Silver and one hundred Magic Elven Stones… The production cost is vicious. The Crimson Dragon Flying s.h.i.+p’s necessary materials astonished s.h.i.+ Feng.
t.i.tan Silver was a rare by-product that could be obtained from mining Fine t.i.tan Ore. Thus far, Zero Wing had only compiled a little over 2,000 t.i.tan Silver ingots. Magic Elven Stone was even rarer and more valuable. One could only obtain the super-rare ore from Grade 2 ore veins. It was just slightly more common than Seven Luminaries Crystals.
Including the other materials, producing the Crimson Dragon Flying s.h.i.+p would cost roughly 50,000 Gold, several times more than the Bronze ranked Guardian Puppets’ production cost. However, it was still cheaper than trying to become a Duke.
Moreover, he would get more value for his money.
A Common Flying s.h.i.+p would be far more useful to players than Bronze Combat Puppets. Even though a Common Flying s.h.i.+p’s combat power was only at the peak of Tier 3, it could transport 100 players, allowing them to travel across the continent freely. Moreover, players could rest and recover while on a Flying s.h.i.+p, which they couldn’t do while riding a Flying Mount. The recovery ability wasn’t very powerful, but it was a precious a.s.set when exploring Level 100- plus neutral maps. Moreover, players would be able to flee when they encountered Mythic ranked flying monsters thanks to the Flying s.h.i.+p’s defensive capabilities.
“Did the Boss drop something good, Guild Leader?” Blackie asked, curious about the joyful expression on s.h.i.+ Feng’s face.
“Here, take a look for yourselves,” s.h.i.+ Feng said, chuckling. Aside from the Flying s.h.i.+p Design, he shared the loot’s information in the team chat.
“c.r.a.p! Legendary materials!”
“And that’s a design for a Level 100 Secret-Silver Equipment!”
“This Fine-Gold ranked Polar Ice Set is amazing!”
When they saw the Boss’s loot, every member of the team was excited. Heathwaite might not have dropped an Epic item, but these players weren’t fools. They knew how precious Inferior Legendary and Legendary materials were. These were all top-tier materials that could be used to produce Epic items.
Moreover, the Ice Dragon had dropped seven pieces of Level 100 Dark-Gold Equipment and over 30 Level 100 Fine- Gold Weapons and Equipment pieces. These weapons and equipment would grant many of the team members a ma.s.sive boost to their combat power. The Polar Ice Set Heathwaite had dropped was particularly eye-catching. It might only be a six-piece, Level 100 Fine-Gold Set Equipment, but its Attributes were nearly three ranks stronger than that of Level 95 Dark-Gold Equipment.
With this set, a Level 100 Elementalist could easily defeat lower-level experts in full Epic Equipment.
Following which, s.h.i.+ Feng held an internal auction, and Yi Luofei claimed the Polar Ice Set. Now, only s.h.i.+ Feng, Cola, and Zhao Yueru, who had at least one Fragmented Legendary item and multiple pieces of Epic Equipment, had higher Basic Attributes than she did.
Once the weapons and equipment had been distributed, s.h.i.+ Feng returned to White River City with his team.
Since Zero Wing’s main force members had finally reached Level 100 or higher, they qualified to challenge their Tier 3 Promotion Quests. Naturally, he couldn’t continue to help them level up in the Cold Spring Forest, and more than a dozen of the team members were ready to challenge their Promotion Quests now. Wasting time would be a pity. Players would only become true powerhouses in G.o.d’s Domain once they reached Tier 3, after all.
s.h.i.+ Feng spent some time advising his players on how to complete their Tier 3 Promotion Quests before he dismissed them. Those that weren’t strong enough yet left to prepare a bit more, and the players that were strong enough headed to the Adventurer’s a.s.sociation immediately. Meanwhile, s.h.i.+ Feng headed toward White River City’s Adventurer’s a.s.sociation for another matter.
Within one of the Adventurer’s a.s.sociation’s second-floor VIP reception rooms…
“Lord Bronze Legatee, how may I be of service?” the female Elven administrator asked as she entered the room.
“I wish to turn in my Crusade Quest for Cold Spring Forest’s Ice Dragon, Heathwaite,” s.h.i.+ Feng announced as he retrieved a colossal, silvery-white Dragon Horn and placed it on the table between them. This Dragon Horn was proof that he had slain Heathwaite.
As soon as s.h.i.+ Feng proved that he had completed his Crusade Quest, the sounds of a series of system notifications reached his ears.
