Chapter 534: Exchanging Treasures

August 16th.

Night.

The moon was bright and the stars were sparse.

The fat catfish led the team, the Tatta Kai family carried the disassembled large ship model parts, crossed the reed marsh, broke through the moonlight, and quietly entered the water, with the Chief Engineer Big Da He Li following behind holding a small box.

Crossing the vortex waterway.

Liang Qu observed the large ship, confirmed it hadn't fallen apart, and his heart relaxed slightly.

Chief Engineer Da He Li's technical level was becoming more and more superb; the first time it made a move, the quality was guaranteed.

With an order, the three pieces were combined, and the complete five-zhang large ship came into view. The river otters went home, and the fat catfish took over, carrying the large ship to the toad cave.

The toad cave was snoring like thunder.

Before the fat catfish could go up to wake it, the toad seemed to sense something, opened its eyes, and sat up.

"Little brother?"

The fat catfish flicked its long whiskers and put down the large ship.

The massive horned frog head leaned in.

At a glance, the toad saw the special joint patterns of the new ship, noticed the difference, reached out a claw to take it, fiddled with it slightly, and the large ship was disassembled into several large parts. The corresponding concave and convex parts were fitted together, and it was re-mortised, quite firmly.

The frog eyes were visibly bright.

A brand-new version never experienced before!

Liang Qu gave a wink to the big beaver and the fat catfish, and the two beasts took the initiative to step forward to demonstrate.

The big beaver was responsible for command, and the fat catfish was responsible for disassembly, easily taking apart the entire Fuchuan ship.

The assembled Fuchuan ship had a total of twenty-one large parts, each of which could be further disassembled into seven to eight small parts, totaling one hundred and fifty-three small loose parts.

Liang Qu took out twenty-two extra-large waterproof blueprints from his bosom; they wouldn't deform or change color underwater, and the lines were clear, each showing the assembly method for every accessory and the overall assembly style.

The toad played with it for a while and couldn't put it down.

The five-zhang ship model, the size of the disassembled parts, was just right for the toad, leaving Liang Qu aside.

After tinkering for half an hour, the toad assembled three parts, but suddenly thinking of Liang Qu on the side, it stopped, still feeling unsatisfied.

"Is this the assembled large ship you mentioned?"

"Exactly, what does the Great King think?"

"I want this from now on!"

Having eaten something good, the toad looked at the old large ship, which was as hard to swallow as chaff and vegetables.

Liang Qu said respectfully: "Assembling a large ship takes a lot of effort, which is why this time it was delayed a bit longer than before..."

"One assembled large ship, exchange for two items!"

Alright then.

The goal was achieved.

Not disturbing the toad playing with the ship, Liang Qu and A-Fei silently entered the cave to look for treasures.

The guardian vines dispersed.

One man and one fish searched here and there.

Finally, they selected two items.

A piece of Vast Sea Blue Gold, half the size of a human head, covered in edges and corners.

Melting this gold into a cylinder and inserting it into the pond would allow him to make a "Spirit Gathering Array" when he went back.

The old giant clam's essence-gathering ability didn't conflict with the Vast Sea Blue Gold.

With the two overlapping, staying in the pond for half a day would guarantee one hundred points of essence a day, and thirty-six thousand points of Water-Marsh Essence a year.

Huge profit.

Incomparable Green Water Wood.

Radiant light, like an ancient tree covered in moss.

The keel material for the Qingyun Boat that went to the Great Marsh in May was this; he didn't know if it was affected by the toad, but the wood quality was denser than ordinary Green Water Wood, and the quality was excellent.

"Great King, these two items..."

The toad looked up, indifferent to the Vast Sea Blue Gold, but when it saw the Green Water Wood that Liang Qu dragged out, it actually showed a bit of reluctance.

Liang Qu's heart jumped, thinking he had misidentified the wood and accidentally dragged out some rare treasure.

As a result, in the next second, the toad waved its webbed claws.

This wood.

It had dug it up to use as a pillow.

The height was just right, perfectly fitting the frog head, but having promised, it wasn't good to refuse.

Why did he always pick the frog's sleeping things to take?

The toad thought of the previous Mirage Insect and sighed slightly.

Liang Qu couldn't figure it out, looking at the ancient wood dragged by A-Fei, observing it repeatedly.

He hadn't misidentified it; it was Green Water Wood.

It was valuable, true, but for a status like the toad's, it shouldn't be.

Hesitating slightly.

"Great King, I have one more thing..."

"What thing?"

The toad, whose pillow had been taken away, was quite depressed.

Liang Qu didn't dare to delay, let the big beaver open the box, and two golden treasure fish swam out.

The toad's eyes lit up, and it caught the treasure fish in its palm with a webbed claw.

"Golden Gong Fish?"

"The Golden Gong Fish tastes delicious. Knowing the Great King likes it, I boldly exchange two with the Great King."

The toad understood the meaning, flipped out a large seashell, and pointed to the dozens of swimming treasure lights inside: "What treasure fish do you want?"

"I have shallow knowledge and don't know if the Great King has any that enhance the soul like the Golden Gong Fish? Or treasure fish that can regulate and neutralize medicinal properties?"

"Those that enhance the soul are rare. I don't have any good goods for the time being, only one Heavenly Spirit Fish, which is half a grade stronger than the Golden Gong Fish."

"Half a grade stronger is enough."

Hearing this, the toad reached into the seashell and pinched out two treasure fish, one white and one green.

"Heavenly Spirit Fish, Pine-Cypress Fish. The white Heavenly Spirit Fish can enhance the soul; it's stronger than the Golden Gong Fish, but not by much, about twenty or thirty percent. The green Pine-Cypress Fish can be eaten mixed with many things; it's bitter, and it should be what you call regulating Qi and blood and medicinal properties."

Liang Qu grabbed the fish tails.

The Heavenly Spirit Fish was pure white all over, and its eyes were no exception.

The Pine-Cypress Fish was slightly strange, green all over, without any fishy smell, and its fins were like leaves, with a pine tree scent.

"Many thanks, Great King!"

The toad flicked its webbed claws.

Liang Qu got his wish, called the fat catfish and the big beaver, and quickly took his leave.

The sky was gradually brightening.

According to the blueprint description, the toad finally assembled the complete ship model and couldn't put it down.

This one ship alone was better than thousands of collections!

Flipping it over and over, savoring it, the toad was overjoyed. Just as it was about to take it apart and start over, a thought flashed through its mind.

"Hmm, forgot to let A-Fei show how a human turns into a white ape..."

"Forget it, better to assemble the ship..."

Clatter, clatter.

The ship model scattered into a pile. The toad put away the blueprints and assembled it for the second time, tireless.

The Green Water Wood was dragged to the Qingjiang Shipyard. At dawn, craftsmen came one after another to work.

Liang Qu specifically waited for a while.

Waiting for the old carpenter Liu Quanfu from Yixing Town and his disciples to come to work.

"Lord Liang!"

Seeing Liang Qu, Liu Quanfu didn't dare to be slow and led his disciples to trot over.

"Uncle Fu! Long time no see! I've been waiting specifically for you!"

The single address "Uncle Fu" made Liu Quanfu's feet go soft, feeling as if he were floating, his whole body going numb.

Liang Qu changed every half year; every time he saw him, he had a different mindset. Just based on this half-sentence, the master craftsmen in the shipyard had to look at him with high regard!

Facing the awe-filled gazes of the apprentices, Liu Quanfu hurriedly asked Liang Qu what his requirements were.

Liang Qu patted the green wood.

"Help me build a Fuchuan ship with this Green Water Wood? Whatever the price is, it is. It's best if it can be delivered by the end of September, before October."

Liu Quanfu examined the size of the wood; it was very massive, enough to make a large keel of at least six or seven zhang, and the remaining scraps could also make quite a few ship planks, enough for most of the ship's bottom.

"Why does the Lord want to build a ship again?"

Liu Quanfu remembered clearly that Liang Qu's four-zhang Fuchuan ship hadn't been delivered for a full year; he had twisted the seams himself.

"Hey, no way. I'm rising fast, and I'm changing fast. The Fuchuan ship is big, but the speed isn't good; it's too slow. I'm changing to a faster one."

"Lord Liang is rising steadily, which is a good thing. In the thousand years of Yixing Town, there hasn't been a talent like Lord Liang."

"Alright, I have things to do. Uncle Fu, hurry up and draw a blueprint, bring it for me to see. I'm going on a long journey in ten days. Try to set the style first. Hire as many people as you need."

"Don't worry, Lord."

Arranging various matters.

Time moved to late August.

Chishan stepped on the springboard and boarded the deck.

Tatta Kai commanded in an orderly manner, letting all the river otters perform their duties, personally turning the winch to pull out the anchor.

The iron anchor left the water, and the fat catfish rushed forward with force, pulling the Fuchuan ship out of the dock.

Whoosh!

The sails billowed, and the iron chains trembled together.

The Fuchuan ship crashed through the waves and headed for Huazhu. ===== CHAPTER 535 =====
