Chapter 116 Making a Deal with the Captain
Yu Qi posted her speculation in the grocery shopping group, and her teammates were all shocked.
Dreaming of becoming a live-in son-in-law: "No, if it's a natural disaster of this magnitude, even a giant ship might not be able to withstand it!"
Rampaging Lolita: "This is so annoying! They're always causing this disaster or that disaster. Why don't we have another beast tide? I'm going to slaughter them all!"
Xinghe Rumeng: "That is indeed very possible. I also think it would be best to talk to the captain and ask him if the giant ship can survive these disasters."
"My skill cooldown will be over soon, and I'll send you the prediction card as soon as I finish drawing it!"
Lolita: "Oh dear, if such a disaster happened, all my bugs would definitely be washed away! If only there were a kind of bug that could live in water!"
The man in white, brewing tea, said, "Perhaps we can find a giant aquatic monster that carries us?"
The bald girl's stubbornness: "The chances are even smaller. Even if we do find them, how will we live after these monsters enter the water?"
In the group chat, a bunch of teammates were feeling down.
AAA Seed Wholesaler: "We'll meet force with force and water with water. We've persevered this far, and we're sure to find a better way!"
Hunting Moment: "Don't spread this guess yet, because I'm not sure myself. If it gets out and causes panic, it could lead to more man-made disasters."
After the grocery shopping group was closed, Yu Qi went to the chat lobby and found that everyone was discussing how comfortable the giant ship was and how much better the scenery was than on the highway.
"Although I can only move around on the deck right now, I have to say that the ocean view is much better than the desert view! I'm so tired of waking up to endless desert and highways every day!"
"I am envious. It's a pity I don't have a slot card for the giant ship. I wonder when I'll be able to go for a ride on the water."
"Have you all noticed that some of the giant ships we players are on are different? This means there are many giant ships in the water. Will we encounter players from other regions?"
"Now that you mention it, I realize that with so many of us coming to the water area, it's impossible for us to all end up on the same giant ship. We might actually run into players from other areas."
"Help! After arriving in the water, I met a lot of brothers, and we had a feast together. We used up all my resources. How do I get the new treasure chest? Help!"
"The treasure chests for road survival are by the roadside, but what about the treasure chests in the water? Could they be near the ships? Maybe they'll even be floating on the surface!"
"I've been here all day and haven't seen a treasure chest. Could it be underwater? Damn, no wonder I've seen several groups of people go into the water, now I know why!"
"I really want to hunt down the big boss. I've eaten fish twice since I came to the waters, and I really want some fresh fruits and vegetables. When will the big boss put tomatoes and those canned goods on the shelves?"
Seeing this, Yu Qi also closed the chat room.
These players have indeed gradually realized that various resource chests are likely underwater, and many have already taken action.
Even if she guessed it, it doesn't matter. The day will be over soon anyway. She has already collected quite a few treasure chests and opened them all.
In the following period, Yu Qi put all the ripe fruits and various crops into the processing workshop and brewery to make canned goods and various foods.
After processing, some of the canned goods and tomatoes will be listed in the trading shop to be exchanged for basic resources.
Yu Qi deliberately stored away the remaining wine and canned goods.
She even took the several exquisite boxes that the shopping paradise had given her before and filled them with some beer, liquor, and fruits and vegetables.
Having done all this, Yu Qi carried the exquisite boxes and opened the door to the luxury suite.
The light on the deck had dimmed, but the interior of the giant ship was still brightly lit, and several ship crew members were talking quietly in the corridor, seemingly discussing which customer was more generous.
Yu Qi walked up to the monsters, who immediately greeted him with smiles: "Hello, customer, is there anything you need?"
"Dinner is being prepared and will be delivered to you shortly. If you'd like to exercise, we have top-of-the-line workout facilities at Giant Fitness, guaranteed to satisfy you!"
Yu Qi nodded slightly to the monsters: "Where is your captain? I'd like to discuss a business deal with him."
The monsters exchanged glances, took out walkie-talkies from their pockets, and asked a few questions.
Soon, the leading crab monster stepped forward: "Honorable customer, our captain is in the reception room. He said he will be waiting for you."
"Alright, then lead the way." Yu Qi nodded, carrying the suitcase.
Soon, several monsters led her to the elevator in the corner, and then up the transparent glass elevator to the top of the giant ship.
The monsters didn't dare enter the elevator, so from now on, it was just Yu Qi alone.
She looked around and discovered that the top of the elevator was a beautiful glass room, where she could see the pale blue sky and the azure sea.
Ahead was a glass-enclosed reception room, where a silvery-white sea serpent was already waiting.
The sea snake was sitting on the sofa with a serious expression, seemingly reading a newspaper.
This monster world is actually quite similar to the human world, except that most of what you see are monsters.
"Hello, esteemed customer." The sea serpent proactively put down the newspaper and poured a cup of tea with its slender, delicate hands.
"Would you like some tea? It's said to have come from the player world and can refresh the mind."
Yu Qi paused upon seeing this.
Sure enough, all the monsters guessed that she came from a family in the monster world.
Come to think of it, this identity is actually quite useful.
Since that's the case, then she won't hold back.
Yu Qi sat on the sofa and put the box aside.
"I went to the restaurant today and found that the variety of fruits and vegetables on the giant ship was quite limited, and there weren't many drinks either."
The captain took a sip of tea and nodded: "Yes, after our giant ship sets sail, it will be sailing on the ocean for a long time, so we naturally need to conserve fresh ingredients."
Seeing this, Yu Qi smiled and said, "In that case, how about we discuss a collaboration?"
"Our family owns tens of thousands of acres of vegetable fields and hundreds of thousands of acres of orchards."
"Before I left, my family was worried that I wouldn't be able to get used to the food outside, so they packed a lot of fruits and vegetables for me, all of them in a food storage container."
"I don't need that many fruits and vegetables at all, so I thought I'd give some to the captain first, as a way of making friends."
"If the captain is interested in our family's fruits and vegetables, how about we have a long-term partnership?"
Yu Qi placed the exquisite treasure chest on top and tapped her fingers.
Of course, the tens of thousands of acres of vegetable fields and hundreds of thousands of acres of orchards were all made up on the spot. When you're out and about, you have to give yourself a proper identity.
Only by fabricating a plausible identity will these monsters take it seriously.
Captain Sea Serpent was indeed tempted. He casually opened the treasure chest's spatial box and smelled an enticing national fragrance.
Seeing the row of bright red heart-shaped ginseng fruits and various other fruits found only in the monster world, the last trace of doubt in my heart dissipated.
You should know that these fruits are all top-quality fruits, and they are very difficult to cultivate.
Only in their monster world, on certain special islands, can they be cultivated.
Those special islands are naturally controlled by those ancient monster families.
Therefore, the player in front of you is very likely from an ancient monster family, and is just here to have some fun and broaden his horizons.
"Distinguished customer, it would be our great pleasure to cooperate with you," the sea serpent said with a bright smile.
"Captain, why don't you try some first? I'm not bragging, but the fruit we produce is of better quality than most fruit on the market. You can only appreciate it by tasting it yourself."
Yu Qi was right. When she tasted the fruits at the masquerade ball, most of them increased the three-dimensional attributes.
However, after being cultivated in the homestead, some of these fruit seeds can even restore their stats.
Of course, it's commonly known as the blue stripe.
The sea serpent picked up a green fruit, took a bite, and then its eyes widened instantly.
This isn't just better than most fruits on the market, it's absolutely superior!
The captain even felt that his previous guesses were somewhat unfounded; the person in front of him had an astonishing background!
"Distinguished guest, these are the best fruits I have ever tasted. How much do you price them?"
Captain Sea Serpent thought to himself, "With such high-quality fruit, even if it exceeds the budget this time, I must get a batch!"
Yu Qi paused for a moment, then calmly took a sip of tea.
How would she know how to price it?
They were all freeloaders back then!
However, as clever as she is, how could she possibly make a mistake here?
Yu Qi smiled and pushed the beer and liquor next to him over: "Captain, why don't you take a look at these and set a price?"
