Even after completing the quest, she had not fully decided. The rewards were too significant for an impulsive choice.
So she asked the system for clarification, like the skills held by them, and see which is more suitable to her while navigating the seas.
But what system replied took her by surprise.
[Ding! The host has a choice. For both rewards, you may select either a single ether-powered warship or a normal warship that can be mass-produced by the system and sold to customers.]
Kiara blinked.
Then she leaned back and folded her arms.
"Well," she murmured, "that changes everything."
Originally, she had assumed the reward would be a unique vessel under the system's control, like a treasured sword bestowed by fate.
Instead, she was being offered a blueprint and a production license.
That was not a weapon.
That was an industry.
And industries, she knew, were the true engines of empires.
Kiara began to weigh her options.
