Chapter 1108: Chapter 714, Sea Vessel Repair
Hearing the system notification appear, Fang Hao felt pleased.
Just as he had guessed.
If the transmigrator was really expected to salvage this ship, then the difficulty would be too great.
With the transmigrator’s current abilities, it was basically impossible.
To delay for five or six years and then salvage it, the reward would lose its significance.
However, after occupation, appearing in the form of data, the difficulty was much reduced.

After occupation.
The option to repair was now displayed.
Even for the repair of the ship’s body, the amount of material had reached an exaggerated extent.
The quantity of hardwood had reached one hundred and twenty thousand, enough to build several Lord’s Mansions.
Moreover, these were just materials for repair; it was not difficult to guess how many resources had been spent during its original construction.
Looking at the exaggerated quantity of materials and the diverse variety.
Fang Hao hesitated again.
It wasn’t that the materials were insufficient.
The materials in the main city had reached a point where there was nowhere to put them; they were mostly being sold off or supporting the development of subsidiary cities.
It was just that he was weighing whether it was worth spending so much material to repair this ship.
What help would a successful repair bring him?
His territory was not near the sea area, nor did he worry about threats from the sea.
What would he need such a ship for?
To catch fish? Or to prepare for an attack on the little devils in the future?
He did not rush to choose.
Instead, he opened the Book of Lords and checked the map.
On the map, the position of the sunken ship had already appeared, revealed as if it was a city.
This meant that he could use this ship as a teleportation target in the future.
That was indeed a good use.
A movable target point.
“How goes it? How do you plan to take it away?” The sea creature leader walked in and asked.
Yesterday, the two had discussed the matter of the sunken ship.
The sea creatures had no interest in this sunken ship.
After emptying the items inside, no sea creature had built a nest in the interior of the ship.
If Fang Hao wanted to take it away, they would not stop him.
They even hoped to move this huge thing away.
“It’s a bit difficult!” Fang Hao stood up from his seat.
“Not enough personnel? I can arrange some people to help you with that.” The sea creature leader walked over.
“If we’re going to repair this ship, we’ll need a vast amount of materials.” Fang Hao explained straightforwardly.
The sea creature leader nodded its huge head and continued, “Being able to use it will yield far greater returns than the current investment for your Human Clan.”
“I’ll think about it.”
The two returned to the warehouse.
The sea creatures had already finished taking inventory of the equipment.
It was entirely equipment made by transmigrators, with no difference in quality.
Even the slightest fluctuation was absent, as every stitch and line were identical.
After confirming there were no problems with the goods under their subordinates.
The sea creature leader nodded in satisfaction and said, “The goods I promised you yesterday are in the warehouse, I’ll arrange someone to deliver them to your ship.”
“Okay.”
A large group of sea creatures began to move, picking up the sea creatures’ tribute from the warehouse.
Heading towards the shore to swim.
The two entered the coral hall.
Sitting down on the coral chairs, the sea creature leader continued to ask, “Among the items exchanged, what do you value more? Or rather, what is of value to you?”
“Coral Crystals, Dawn Blue Coral, and other materials, or Marks of the Ocean, Tears of The Ocean, these materials, all hold great value, along with pearls and Sea Scale Stones as well.” Fang Hao shared what he knew with the sea creature leader.
These materials were not necessarily scarce.
But they had always been mainly supplied by the Sea Tribe.
There was a feeling of monopoly over pricing.
For Fang Hao, the sea creatures represented a good place to procure goods, which he could sell to the Trade Alliance if he didn’t need them for himself.
“Um!” The sea creature leader listened, memorizing these details.
Then it continued, “We also want to order some purple sets.”
“Of course, how many sets would you like?” Fang Hao asked.
“Two thousand sets!”
“Fine, I will bring the equipment tomorrow.”
“There’s no need to rush; we also need time to prepare the goods.”
“How about two days from now?”
“Um, two days from now!”
After setting the date for the exchange, they chatted for a while about other areas they could cooperate in.
Such as some special tools or everyday items.
Walking out of the coral hall.
Passing through a wide square, Fang Hao stopped in his tracks.
In the center of the square stood two statues.
At the feet of the statues lay numerous tributes.
One was a blurred outline of a towering Giant, and the other was the recently erected ‘King Statue’.
That was the statue brought by Fang Hao.
Whenever a sea creature passed by, they would earnestly bow to the statues in reverence.
A statue was not merely a stone erected.
It could represent oneself in collecting the Power of Faith.
Though no explicit values were displayed, he could feel the increase in his Power of Faith.
Soon, his Divinity would be able to upgrade.
At that time, he didn’t know what effects would be added.
…
Crossing the square,
Fang Hao once again reached the sunken ship.
He still decided to take the ship with him, even if the materials needed were somewhat extensive.
Not for any other reason, but even if his main city were to be truly taken by the Dragon Clan, he could bring Eira and the others to live on this ship.
The sea was no smaller than the land, if not larger.
A movable city was not easy to find.
Perhaps, the original owner of the ship.
had built this giant ship with the same idea in mind, and hence named it ‘The King’s Palace.’
After deciding, he directly leaped onto the sunken ship.
Fang Hao said to the Fish People leader, “I plan to take this sunken ship with me. Have everyone else move a safe distance away in case any danger arises.”
The Fish People leader paused and asked with some confusion, “Take it away? Don’t you need our help?”
They lived in the deep sea, an environment even transmigrators had not touched, let alone fully understood.
So, hearing Fang Hao say he could take it immediately was quite puzzling.
Didn’t they need to salvage it up?
Fang Hao nodded, “Yes, you’ll understand in a moment. For now, take your people and retreat a bit further back.”
Seeing his serious tone and considering he was the newly appointed godson of the Fish People,
the leader had no choice but to order his people to collectively move back and maintain a distance.
The Ancient Blood Servants stood guard by Fang Hao’s side.
In case any issue arose, they would be ready to protect him immediately.
Seeing that the preparations were nearly complete,
Fang Hao once again sat on the muddy throne.
[Ship Repair: Hardened Wood 127505, Ironized Wood 85657, Iron 78520, Iron Plates 15252, Cast Iron Blocks 5252, … White Steel Ingots 4520, White Steel Plates 12550, Metal Parts 15220, Precision Parts 2580, Traces of the Ocean 15, Deep Sea Essence 8, Essence of Magic 5.]
The system prompt appeared once again.
This time, Fang Hao didn’t hesitate.
Instead, he immediately chose to repair.
Whoosh!
Beams of light enveloped the ship.
Beginning to repair the damaged parts.
And where the light dispersed, the repairs were already complete.
The pristine surface stood out starkly against the original ship covered in barnacles.
Whoosh!
Upon witnessing this scene, the Fish People all fell to their knees in unison.
They raised their hands high, crawling and shouting something indecipherable.
Boom!
As the final repair was completed,
a dark gold glow began to circulate on the surface of the ship.
All the water inside was drained out.
And amidst the deafening roar, the ship began to struggle violently.
The reef nests built around the ship started to collapse.
Thick sea dust rose like a towering wave,
frightening the Fish People into a retreat, keeping a safe distance.
Rumbling!
Amidst the great rumbling noise,
the ship, bulky as a mountain, suddenly broke free from the seabed.
Like a bottle filled with air, it shot straight up from the ground, soaring towards the sky.
Fang Hao, sitting on the ship’s throne, was also quite startled.
He released a teleportation barrier, standing it before himself and the Ancient Blood Servants, ready to dive through at any sign of danger.
The sound of howling waves rang in his ears.
The sea water scraped against his skin painfully.
The upward momentum was still strong, showing no sign of slowing down.
…
The White Veil Queen.
The ship was waiting in place for Fang Hao’s return.
Around it, a large number of Skeleton troops were gathered, protecting the ship’s safety.
Anjia and Lorrey sat bored on the deck, fishing with rods.
After the third time, the excitement of the first two visits had faded.
It even seemed that there was nothing of interest anymore.
“Do you think Fang Hao will be successful this time?” Anjia asked on the side.
“Successful at what?”
“Isn’t there a treasure down there?”
Lorrey, not overly interested, replied, “Didn’t they say it was a sunken ship? What kind of treasure is that?”
“A ship that’s bigger and more powerful than this one, how is that not a treasure?”
“If it was so powerful, how could it sink? Anjia, you’re getting less smart. Such a simple question, and you can’t even figure it out,” Lorrey said, sitting on the railing and resting her chin in her hand.
“Who says a big ship can’t sink? Maybe it was sunk by some powerful enemy. Fang Hao said it’s much bigger than this one.”
“You believe whatever he says. Besides, the way you eagerly asked him, he probably exaggerated a bit. I think it’s just a slightly bigger ship. How could it be bigger than a mountain?” Lorrey continued to speak as such.
“No way, want to bet? Fang Hao wouldn’t lie.”
“Let’s bet, the loser eats…”
Before she could finish,
there was a loud rumbling, and the previously calm sea surface suddenly began to boil.
Waves churned, and the ship began to swing violently.
Anjia grabbed Lorrey and brought her back onto the deck.
And “Beiyehu” immediately started to control the ship, planning to leave the area first.
But as they moved,
a giant wave rose across the sea.
Then, everyone felt the ship abruptly shooting into the sky,
as if something had lifted it up.
