Chapter 657: Remodeling

Everyone seemed to dislike this deep-sea vessel.

Of course, they had not started any research on handling the deep-sea vessel’s controls yet. That meant that they would need to research more technologies to handle that.

Still, to accomplish that, all they needed was to get in touch with some people who had the technical know-hows in all these.

He Jia was speechless when she saw this.

“Is it really that bad though? This is one of the best deep-sea vessels that we have in East Sea City!”

Guo Guan rolled his eyes at He Jia before saying to Qin Feng, “Sir, let’s just build our own deep-sea vessel. It will only take us 1 week to build one.”

“If we were to remodel this one... how long would it take?” Qin Feng asked.

“Three hours.”

“I will only be staying here for half a month. We don’t need to build a new one from scratch. We don’t really have a lot of use for these vessels anyway. Let’s remodel this one. When we have no need for it later, we can always sell it. I am sure there are going to be buyers that would want it.”

“Okay. Let’s do it!”

Without hesitation, Guo Guan brought his men down and started working.

Meanwhile, He Jia was still stunned by their reaction. She was even more surprised when she heard that they were going to remodel the deep-sea vessel.

“Are... are you sure you can remodel it?”

Qin Feng said, “We are from Fengli. We are pros when it comes to handling machinery. So, you best not underestimate our abilities!”

After getting a lot of information from the Perished Lands, Qin Feng had been doing a lot of intel exchange with the Dragon Capital. As a result, they were able to acquire a lot of technology in that short amount of time—in fact, due to this, their company had experienced a fifty-year technological leap in mere months.

Fifty years’ worth of technology meant a lot in this apocalyptic world. They now had a deeper understanding of the utilities of various materials compared to the other companies.

Even though she felt very unconvinced that they could do it, He Jia decided to keep quiet. She wanted to see just what kind of magic Qin Feng could pull out from his hat.

After all, she was not well-versed in machinery. As such, there was not much she could say about this.

In that three hours, He Jia was not able to see just how much they changed from inside the vessel. However, she was able to see what was going on on the outside—they had taken down all the heavy metallic shells and replaced them with silver-looking materials. Metal-type aptitude users had even enchanted some levels of runes on it and changed its exterior, making it look quite different from before.

When they were done, the whole deep-sea vessel had completely changed into the shape of a big, silver fish with the name “Deep-sea Feng Li” painted on it, covering the name “Ocean Phantom”.

After seeing this, He Jia was even more upset than before!

Although she knew that it was quite normal for buyers to change the name of the vessels, the Ocean Phantom was still well-known as the deep-sea vessel that had garnered a lot of respect and fame in East Sea City. Now, in mere hours, they had wiped its name clean!

He Jia could not bear to see this.

Meanwhile, the onlookers were frowning and discussing this.

“Look! The exterior is so shiny! What are they planning? Getting discovered by the enemies?”

“After remodeling it this way, this deep-sea vessel would become a target in the ocean!”

“The Ocean Phantom had dark runes on its metallic shells. Now, I don’t know what kind of metal this is. Never seen it before!”

“What a joke!”

They started to question the vessel’s new design loudly.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, did not mind what they were saying at all.

He had faith in his own organization’s technology.

Thus, the three hours had passed and the Ocean Phantom had now become the new Deep-sea Feng Li.

After giving it a quick scan with his conscious energy, Qin Feng found the new deep-sea vessel to be much easier on the eyes now. He pondered for a moment before concluding that they would need at least ten people to pilot this vessel.

Qin Feng said, “We’re hiring crew mates right now. If you’re a C-tier gunner, please come forward! We need ten of you!”

The Abyssal Ocean was not like somewhere else. It was dangerous and the trip was going to be a long one. And the only ones who could do battle on the ocean were the gunners and aptitude users.

Jin Hao, who had worked together with Qin Feng back then, too came from East Sea City.

You would find no ancient warrior in this city.

Different cities tended to breed different sets of ability users.

After hearing that he was recruiting, the onlookers that were watching cheerfully were now as quiet as mice.

A minute later, a C-tier gunner stepped out of the crowd. “Is this your ship, Captain? Are you the captain though, by the way? I mean, are there no B-tiers with you?”

Qin Feng nodded. “No B-tiers.”

He did not care to explain that he was stronger than hundreds of B-tiers.

As expected, after hearing his answer, the gunner frowned and left.

It was apparent that this man did not dare to risk his life for a C-tier stranger.

Qin Feng opened his mouth again, “The fee will be 500 million a day!”

This fee was ten times the usual rate.

In the Dusan Basin, the rate that Qin Feng gave Yuan Xiaoguang was around 5 million—the same price as a beast general crystal core. This was the rate for an ordinary C-tier.

If Qin Feng said he was willing to pay 100 million, there might still not be many who would join him. However, if he was paying ten times the rate of hiring, surely many would find this offer lucrative.

And sure enough, many people began to take interest.

Of course, Qin Feng was no idiot. He was not someone who was willing to swallow a massive loss on his part. However, if he could prove that his deep-sea vessel was an exceptional one by having someone navigate it, he could always hire another roster of crew later at a lower rate. And by then, due to the newly acquired reputation of Deep-sea Feng Li, many would kill to join him.

At the same time, Bai Wei had an idea. He looked at one of the gunners behind him and said, “Hey, fatty! You go! Join his crew and see how good his vessel is!”

The fat gunner’s face turned pale after hearing this. Still, he had no choice but to agree.

Meanwhile, the other onlookers started to tease Qin Feng after seeing that no one was going to join him, “Hahaha! Mr Qin! Look at you! No one is joining! How about this? I’ll lend you some of my men. This will help you with your predicament, right?”

“Yea! And of course, you still need to pay us!”

“President Qin, if your vessel is that great, you can just build your stuff here and then rent it out. You’ll earn a lot of money by doing this, you know. You see. There are so many boats offered by the Public Capital Corporation right there!”

The Public Capital Corporation was a corporation that handled commerce logistics. The hover tanks that they rented out were of the lowest quality in the market.

Despite that, they would one day expand and become bigger. Their huge earners would be the East Sea City’s deep-sea vessels that they would establish in the future.

“If you don’t mind lending me your men, it would definitely solve my predicament at hand. Thank you. I appreciate it.”

After borrowing a few men from some B-tiers, including from Bai Wei, Qin Feng was able to gather ten men in his crew.

“Sir, would you want me to follow you?” Guo Guan asked.

Qin Feng shook his head. “The ocean is a perilous place. Let’s wait until you’ve ascended to C-tier.”

Guo Guan shook his head after hearing this. However, he had to concede and stay behind.

He was now middle-aged.

Despite the resources Qin Feng had delegated to him, Guo Guan knew it would take at least a year to ascend to C-tier.

And by then... would Qin Feng still need a C-tier as his underling?

Guo Guan felt that it was so hard to keep up with this dear president of his.

Thankfully, he was a good technician.

“Then, are we going to establish a business to build deep-sea vessels?”

Qin Feng said, “Oh, that? Contact Xue Xingfu. If he deems that this business is profitable, you can start working on it.”

“Yes, Sir!”
