Chapter 445: Warships

After everyone had left, Liu Bian finally took out the two manuals given to him by Yu Ji and Zuo Ci and began to examine them.

*Dun Jia Heavenly Book*: Yellow Grade Lower Grade, Da Dao talisman type, records thirty-six Yellow Grade Lower Grade Da Dao talismans, with attached health-preservation methods.

*Taiping Dao Scripture*: Yellow Grade Lower Grade, Da Dao alchemy type, records the crafting methods for eighteen types of Mortal Grade pills, with attached health-preservation methods.

"Holy crap, after all that fuss, these two manuals are actually talisman and pill types."

"No wonder Yu Ji and Zuo Ci only have the strength of First-rate Martial Generals — these aren't Cultivation Methods at all!"

"For these two fellow disciples to reach First-rate Martial General strength with just a single health-preservation method is quite a miracle."

After seeing the information on these two manuals, Liu Bian was utterly stunned.

He actually felt a bit of pity for Yu Ji and Zuo Ci.

After a quick glance, Liu Bian tossed the two manuals aside.

Then, he opened the System Panel and began to look it over.

……

"Quest Four is finally complete! I just don't know what the Zhenguo Divine Beast rewarded by the system is?"

Seeing that Quest Four had disappeared from the quest list, replaced by a Zhenguo Divine Beast added to the System Space.

After a sigh of emotion, Liu Bian closed the System Panel. He planned to first redeem the Warships for Gan Ning, then check on the Zhenguo Divine Beast.

With the Han Empire's current level of technology, it was still impossible to build Warships capable of fighting at sea.

Moreover, even if they could build them, the time required would not be short.

Counting from now, there were only nine months left before the deadline for completing Task Three.

And the southern Jingzhou and Yangzhou — these two States were blocked by the Yangtze River. Without a Water Army, one couldn't even cross the Yangtze River.

And based on Liu Bian's understanding of the system, if he only redeemed ordinary Warships, the price definitely wouldn't be very high.

With the National Fortune Value he currently possessed, he should be able to redeem quite a few.

Without hesitation, he immediately said to the system in his heart:

"System, open the Mall and search for Warships below Yellow and Mystic Grade."

"Ding, alright, the System Mall has been opened. Warships matching the requirements have been searched for the Host. Please check!"

As the system's prompt faded, a Mall panel visible only to Liu Bian appeared before his eyes.

……

"Hiss, I really didn't expect there to be such powerful Warships. And the Zheng He Treasure Ship and Ming Dynasty Warship — such powerful vessels are actually only Yellow Grade Upper Grade!"

"And starting from Yellow Grade Supreme, the power source has actually become Spirit Stones, and they're equipped with Spirit Stone Cannons!"

After browsing the Warships in the System Mall, Liu Bian couldn't help but think in astonishment.

The strongest here is only Mystic Grade Supreme, yet it's already this powerful.

If the grade were higher, the effect would probably be even more powerful.

Moreover, each of these warships could carry a staggering two thousand men.

One had to remember that the largest warships of this era were the tower ships, which could carry at most around five hundred men.

A warship that could carry two thousand men — one could well imagine just how enormous it was!

"Gan Ning's Navy has one hundred thousand men, so at the very least it will need fifty warships."

"Then exchange one Red Dragon Warship for Gan Ning as his command vessel, and exchange the other forty-nine as Yellow Dragon Warships."

"At that rate, it would only cost one hundred and fifty-two thousand National Fortune Value!"

"Besides, now that we have the large ships, we must also have scout boats — it's just that the Emperor seems not to have seen any scout boats that can be driven by Spirit Stones!"

Liu Bian noticed that among the scout vessels, there was none that could use Spirit Stones for power, and could not help feeling a little puzzled.

"System, is there really no scout vessel among these that can be driven by Spirit Stones?"

When in doubt, just ask the System — that was the way!

Seeing none, Liu Bian immediately turned to the System and asked.
