Chapter 59: Shipgirl Teaching Material

Li Chenming glanced at the stern-faced Mingshi, then said to Qin Ge, "This is also the situation I learned about earlier; I'll tell you about it here. This shop does sometimes sell some Wisdom Cubes, but the price is always around 2000 units of supplies, which is still quite cheap."

However, due to the extremely small quantity, generally no one comes here to buy. Therefore, some commanders conduct listed transactions through the Maritime Affairs Bureau, while others trade directly with each other.

Especially now that school has just started, many second-year students have plenty of supplies on hand, but they have nowhere to buy Wisdom Cubes, so trading with them right now is the most cost-effective.

Roughly, one Cube can be traded for about 3000 units of supplies."

"That much?" Qin Ge said, somewhat surprised.

Li Chenming looked at Mingshi's face, which had turned black enough to drip water, and nodded at Qin Ge, "Yes, after all, Wisdom Cubes are extremely rare items for commanders."

Then Qin Ge glanced at the sullen Mingshi beside him and apologetically said, "Mingshi, I'm really sorry."

"It's fine, meow, you can also trade elsewhere, not here at Mingshi..." Mingshi immediately turned her head, smiling as she spoke to Qin Ge, but Qin Ge always felt a faint sadness in her tone.

"Moreover, Qin Ge, although you understand tactics and strategy far better than I do, I still know a bit more about some insider news regarding shipgirls." Li Chenming said, smiling at Qin Ge.

"According to those big shots, people like me who have no savings early on are suited to buying ship equipment as a stopgap, whereas people like you who have some savings should focus on raising the shipgirls' skill levels as the most crucial."

"Skill levels?" Qin Ge nodded and said, "Are you suggesting I buy shipgirl teaching materials?"

"Hmm, many commanders I know, when they have resources, first raise their shipgirls' skill levels." Li Chenming said.

"That makes sense. Although shipgirls can slowly improve their skill levels through regular training and classes, this speed is ultimately too slow, so at this point one needs to purchase shipgirl teaching materials to quickly raise their skill levels." Qin Ge thought for a moment and decided to first raise his own shipgirls' skill levels.

So he turned his head and asked Mingshi, "Excuse me, do you have any shipgirl teaching materials that can raise skill levels?"

"Meow~ Of course we have them, meow." Mingshi, who had thought she wouldn't make any money, suddenly heard Qin Ge say he wanted shipgirl skill-level teaching materials, and she excitedly hurried to say.

"Oh, where?" Qin Ge asked.

"Right here, meow!" Mingshi hastily led Qin Ge to the shelf holding the shipgirl teaching materials.

Qin Ge immediately saw the shelves full of shipgirl teaching materials: red attack-type, blue defense-type, and of course yellow support-type.

"These materials come in three grades: blue, purple, and gold, meow, priced at 600, 1200, and 2400 units of supplies respectively, genuine goods, no deception, meow!" Mingshi hurriedly said while looking at Qin Ge.

Qin Ge looked at his two shipgirls; he was fairly familiar with their skills. Nengdai has a defensive skill and a support skill, while Banrenma has an attack skill and a support skill.

So he said to Mingshi, "Then please get me a gold-level attack-type teaching material and a gold-level defense-type teaching material."

"No problem, meow." Mingshi excitedly told Qin Ge and quickly took down two gold-level attack and defense teaching materials from the shelf.

"That's a total of 4800 units of supplies, thank you for your patronage, meow!"

Looking at Mingshi in front of him, one hand holding two books, the other hand outstretched ready to take money, Qin Ge helplessly shook his head.

He turned around to look at Nengdai, and Nengdai directly took out 4800 units of supplies from the Ship Equipment Space, placed them in Mingshi's hand, and then took back those two gold-level shipgirl teaching materials from her hand.

"Hehe, the transaction is complete, meow. Is there anything else you two need, meow?" Mingshi, feeling the weight of the 4800 units of supplies, smiled at the two.

"I don't need anything, but you can check if Li Chenming has anything." Qin Ge laughed, shook his head, pointed at Li Chenming, and said to Mingshi.

So Mingshi quickly turned her head, fixing her gaze on Li Chenming. Although this person had just exchanged 100 units of oil for supplies, so he only had a total of 500 units of supplies, but even a little meat is still meat.

"Commander Li Chenming, what else do you need, meow?" Mingshi said with a grin to Li Chenming.

"I need a technology box; blue quality will do." Li Chenming said to Mingshi.

"Sure, meow." Mingshi quickly nodded and hastily led the two to the technology box cabinet. Although Li Ming had a clear goal, Mingshi still gave an introduction, obviously her intention was not the wine (i. e., she had an ulterior motive).

"Technology boxes come in four grades: common, rare, elite, and super rare, the same grades as shipgirls and ship equipment. The prices are respectively 80, 400, 2000, and 5000 units of supplies."

"There are four common types of technology boxes: White Eagle's Keluoxide, Royal's Weisike, Sakura Empire's Zang Wang Heavy Industry, and Iron Blood's Boluk. And inside each faction's technology box, you can obtain that faction's exclusive ship equipment."

"Hmm, thank you very much for the introduction, Mingshi." Qin Ge smiled at Mingshi, knowing that her introduction here was definitely for him, not for Li Chenming.

Li Chenming laughed, "Give me a blue Weisike box."

"Thank you for your patronage, 400 units of supplies, meow!" Mingshi said while taking a blue small box from the shelf and reaching out her hand to Li Chenming.

"Here you go." Li Chenming generously pulled out 400 units of supplies and placed them in Mingshi's hand, then took the blue technology box over.

"Shall we open it now?" Qin Ge smiled at him.

"Of course, the Weisike technology box is very likely to yield a destroyer main gun; if you get one, it's worth it." Li Chenming said while opening the blue technology box in his hand.

Only see a blue light flash inside, and a ship equipment resembling a drive shaft appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Not bad luck." Qin Ge looked at the drive-shaft-like ship equipment and said, "Electric ammunition loader, increases loading for various shipgirls and also the artillery attribute of ship equipment."

"Hehe, finally luck has exploded once!" It seems Li Chenming is also very satisfied with being able to obtain an electric ammunition loader…
