Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 188 Selling water and fishing

But speaking of matters, Ye He still had to find a way to obtain food and fresh water at sea. For a competent mercenary, this kind of source to ensure his own survival is also a must.

It's a pity that the Buddha only provided him with weapons. It would have been nice to have a portable seawater purifier or something.

So after the meal, Ye He went out to the captain's room next door to find Grave, intending to ask the captain for advice on how to find survival resources.

"How do you find food and drink at sea?"

Greve, who also had fried fish and vegetable salad for lunch, had already finished his portion and was already sitting behind his desk looking at the charts.

After hearing Ye He's question, Grave subconsciously thought that Ye He was beginning to be dissatisfied with the same lunch and dinner.

In fact, Ye He and others can eat the same level of food as Grave, which is the best dietary treatment in the entire fleet. You know, Grave is the captain and a general of the navy!

It seems that there is only one ordinary dish, but it is just because the technology in this era is not developed enough, which makes the food so monotonous.

The hot and humid weather at sea will destroy almost all food that is not stored in a "freezer". There are live livestock on the cargo ship, but they can only barely last for a period of time with fresh meat, which can be regarded as "emergency food."

Never before, Camelot, one of the nano-robot systems hidden in Ye He's body, suddenly took the initiative to send a prompt to Ye He, the kind that sounded directly and secretly in Ye He's ears.

Seeing Ye He's eyes widening and taking a breath of air, Grave thought that Ye He was frightened by the high price.

"It's just a little bit of magic, it's ridiculous, but Captain Graves, are you interested in... making a fortune with me?"

In the family of Saidaweil, the "water fee" for one ton of water is only 6 copper pounds, which is 0.03 gold pounds (1 gold = 200 coppers). Even in the city with the most water shortage in the entire empire, one ton of water The "water fee" cannot exceed 0.1 gold pounds.

Probably, a bullet that used to cost one hundred divine power points to consecrate, but after Cameron soaked it in divine blood, the number was reduced to ninety-eight points.

That was a video of Ye He soaking all the nanobots in his body with Atrak's divine blood after returning from the Black Cat Store for the first time.

This naval admiral, who had sailed countless sea miles and seen countless real strong winds and waves, suddenly widened his eyes after placing his gaze on his wooden cup.

Unexpectedly, what the "enchantment" effect of the divine blood really enhanced when it acted on these three sets of nanorobot systems was actually their "wisdom."

As nanorobot systems, Caesar, Camelot, and Cameron are just "tools" that are not equipped with too strong artificial intelligence.

Grave didn't understand what Ye He was doing, and was about to ask, but Ye He interrupted him again and pointed at his wooden cup.

"This this……"

why is that? Has anything changed in Camelot?

It was Caesar who solved Ye He's doubts. Without Ye He's instructions, Caesar took the initiative to play a video in Ye He's eyes.

"There are no islands in this area that can provide fresh water. We can only go to the shore to supply supplies, or go to the pirates' territory to find them."

As for food, there are countless fish in the sea. In addition, kelp and seaweed can also play the same role as vegetables when needed.

Because he remembered clearly that he had clearly drank all the water in the cup, and not a drop was left. But now, water has reappeared in the quilt, and has submerged the small silver candle. .

But that's okay, at least Ye He will be more relaxed in the future.

"you……"

Grave briefly explained to Ye He how primitive and backward the sources of maritime survival resources in this era were. Ye He's brows twitched slightly.

"Yes." Grave nodded, raised the chart on his hand and gave Ye He instructions.

"hiss……"

But that's not the point. Ye He picked up the candle with Camelot attached and placed it in a cylindrical wooden cup that should belong to Grave.

But they all need to consume a certain amount of fresh water to clean before they can be eaten, otherwise they will consume more fresh water. "

One ton of water is one thousand liters, which is twenty fifty liters, which is... two thousand gold pounds in this area!

At least more than 40,000 times the profit!

Hearing Ye He's question, Grave was stunned for a moment, nodded to Ye He without thinking, and casually said to Ye He:

"Yes, if it is a ship that is short of fresh water, a fifty-liter barrel of fresh water can sell them for one hundred gold pounds! But it cannot be higher. This is the rule of the entire endless sea. Even the pirates cannot violate it."

After briefly browsing the auxiliary functions provided by Camelot, Ye He raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then smiled at Grave who had been waiting for his reply:

He did not speak, but stretched out a finger to gesture to Grave, and then used this finger to light an unburned candle on the table.

“As for fresh water...except when we encounter islands with fresh water rivers, we can hardly replenish it.

Grave continued to introduce the business opportunities here, but Ye He suddenly stretched out his hand and interrupted Grave's speech.

What surprised Ye He was not that Camelot had the functions he needed, but that Camelot actually contacted Ye He!

He drew a large circle on the chart, including the entire sea area from the southeastern corner of the continent, and then explained to Ye He:

"Captain Grave, I would like to ask you, is it difficult to find islands with fresh water at sea? Isn't this kind of strategic resource level material point occupied by pirates or destroyed by them?"

Some silver light lit up from Ye He's fingers and passed on to this small candle, making it look silvery.

"Ding! This is Camelot, Master. This system has auxiliary functions related to survival, please check it out."

Ye He had had various needs before, but only this time Camelot took the initiative to contact Ye He.

"So...in other words, is drinkable fresh water also valuable in this area?"

"Hmm..." Faced with such a scarce resource distribution situation, Ye He not only did not frown, but his eyes lit up.

And this candle is constantly flowing water!

Although it is only a small stream of water, it keeps flowing!

"There is a kind of merchant ship that only transports clean water to sell in the sea here. They have some fixed locations to "open stores". Our route also has to pass through them, but you don't have to worry, the Imperial Navy doesn't have to pay for water from them. …”

After realizing something, Grave was stammered and speechless. Ye He reached out and took out the candle from the wooden cup, then clamped it on top of the water cup with two fingers.

Is it because of the divine blood? Previously, only Cameron, after being soaked in divine blood, allowed the bullets fired by his transformed weapons to have a very weak "divine nature".

Without spending additional divine power points to sanctify it, there will still be no visible change when the ordinary bullets fired hit the monster.

Ye He smiled and put the piece of candle in Grave's hand. The old captain stretched out his hands at the same time and took the dripping candle in his hand, his eyes brighter than ever before.

Seeing his hands overflowing with water and then flowing out from the edges of his palms, Grave subconsciously moved his mouth to take a sip, which showed that he had also experienced extreme dehydration.

The sweetness and lightness in his mouth made Grave's eyes finally light up. He looked at the candle and kept thinking. Occasionally, when the water overflowed, he would lean over and take a sip, precipitating Camelot from the air. All the water was sucked into his mouth.

After going back and forth three or four times, Grave raised his head seriously and asked Ye He:

"What's the maximum number in a day?"

"Ten tons." In fact, Camelot can produce twenty tons with all its strength. The air at sea is too humid, but Ye He needs to keep half of Camelot for himself.

This number was enough to silence Grave, and then he asked Ye He:

"What's the price?"

"I am the favored one of Goddess Yingyue, and God loves me." Ye He raised his head proudly. Anyway, Goddess Yingyue had no time to scold him now.

In other words, there is no price! After understanding what Ye He meant, Grave's hands trembled together.

There is no price...ten tons a day...two hundred barrels of water...

Even if it is impossible to sell the "highest price" of one hundred gold pounds per barrel, even if it is discounted by half and then half again, selling it for twenty-five gold pounds, that is a net profit of five thousand gold pounds a day!

"Tuk-tuk."

Ye He put his finger on the Shanghai map on the table in front of Grave, tapped it lightly, and then smiled at Grave:

"Mainly... you just said that we have to pass by where the water shops are, right?"

This knowing question completely destroyed all the fears and doubts in Grave's heart, because he knew that the "purchasing price" of those shops transporting water from the shore was already quite high, as much as thirty gold pounds per barrel.

Therefore, even if he and Ye He "forcefully sell" it to these shops for twenty-five gold pounds a barrel, these shops will only... charge as much as they can get!

This sum can be made!

"I only want 50%."

Seeing that Grave's eyes showed that he had already begun to plan the profits, Ye He casually proposed his share to Grave.

"No, no, please accept 70%... No, 70% or 80%! Please accept 80%! Father! I am just a middleman, and the 20% dividend is already owned by any "middleman" in this world. Maximum benefit.”

When he heard that Ye He actually gave him so much profit, Grave was shocked by Ye He. Because the waterway was fixed and the "supply of goods" was completely provided by Ye He, he did not dare to be too emotional or rational. Too greedy.

More importantly, as long as Ye He is still on his boat, won't the entire boat's water consumption be completely solved?

This is one of the three major problems faced by every ship sailing on the sea!

"Okay, let's get started. There should be room for fresh water on the ship, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

After finalizing the share, Greif couldn't wait to take action than Yehe. For him, this was free money!

It’s not illegal, it doesn’t affect the mission, it’s just an honest “make a fortune”, there can’t be anything better than this!

He stood up before Ye He and handed the candle he was holding to Ye He. Ye He took it casually and put the candle back into the candle tray. In the process, the color of the candle returned to normal.

The two left the captain's cabin and went down the stairs, and soon arrived at the bottom of the cabin.

There are many huge cabins here. The boiler room where the steam boiler is located has reached the top of the two people and is buzzing and making a lot of noise.

Grave shouted to Ye He with the loudest voice: "Three of them, put coal! The others, ballast!"

"Just speak in a normal voice, I can hear you."

Ye He's voice did not grow louder with Grave. He used Camelot to convey his voice to Grave's ears.

Grave, who clearly heard Ye He's voice, was stunned for a moment, and he admired Ye He more and more, and then designated a location where Ye He could store water.

It turns out that some of the cabins here are equipped with ballast stones. Use a set-up mechanism to push some of the insignificant ballast stones into the sea, and the cabins here can be used to store water.

In addition, Grave is also planning to have the entire fleet temporarily stop and transfer all the empty barrels from other ships to fill them with water.

However, he was stopped by Ye He. Ye He didn't want to delay the trip, so he revealed to Grave that he could fly to other ships, directly set up the "magic" on them, and store water on other ships.

This is of course better for Greve. A ship sailing on the sea cannot mind having too much fresh water on board.

With Grave's manuscript, Ye He flew to other ships and contacted the captains above to convey Grave's manuscript. All the captains accepted this good thing as a matter of course.

It was impossible not to accept it. Even if Graves had not stated in the oracle that they would get a share of the dividends from the sale of the fresh water on their ship, they would not mind the inexhaustible source of fresh water, and they would not be able to disobey the provisions brought to them on the ship. Yehe, come to Danshui Water Source!

After completely taking care of the water resources and completing a profitable business, the only thing left for Ye He was to deal with food.

On the way back to the flagship from the last ship, he observed the sea for a while, then thought about it, and suddenly withdrew from Camelot, letting himself fall straight into the sea.

After a while, Ye He flew onto the front deck from the bow of the flagship, startling Greif who was waiting here.

He was surprised when he saw Ye He fall into the water. Fortunately, Ye He came back quickly, and he was holding a sea fish weighing more than ten kilograms in his hand!

This was a sea fish that Ye He touched casually. Caesar interrupted the fish's nerve signals and turned it into a stupid fish that could not escape.

In the process of flying up, Ye He asked Camelot to clear the seawater from his body and regain dryness, so he looked as if he had not touched the seawater at all, and even his hair was still dry.

"Is this an edible fish?"

Because Ye He took back Caesar, the big fish began to struggle. In order to prevent it from dirtying his clothes with its tail, Ye He threw it onto the deck.

Some crew members who were working subconsciously pounced on the fish and pressed it tightly, answering Ye He's question for Grave.

They looked at the struggling big fish with surprise. The captain and the priest would definitely not be able to finish it, so they might be able to get some.

"It's called "Suggs Fish". Among the fish in the entire Endless Sea, its deliciousness can be ranked among the top five... Um, sir?"

Before Grave could explain how to eat the fish, Ye He, who was stepping on the side of the boat, suddenly took a step back and fell into the sea again.

After a while, another bigger and fatter Suggs fish was thrown up from the sea by Ye He and hit the deck directly.

Then another one, and the next one!

Calculating that there was almost enough fish meat for everyone on the boat to eat, Ye He, who stayed in the sea, began to throw in various other fish.

The entire flagship deck was boiling, and Greif kept calling the crew members on the deck to pick up all kinds of fish.

The smiles on the faces of the crew never stopped. Many kinds of sea fish that they could see but couldn't catch, which were said to be delicious, appeared on the deck!

There was so much noise here that it alerted both Floy and Wino in the room. They came to the front deck and stared dumbfoundedly at the fish that kept flying up from the sea, and those who were busy catching fish. of the crew.

"Max! That's a "Tulan fish", it's not delicious! Throw it back! McGee! That "Purple Rose" you caught is poisonous! Don't touch it with your hands! Kick it back into the sea!"

Greif had no time to greet these two ladies, because Ye He seemed to be trying to catch all the fish in the entire sea. Hundreds of big fish had already been thrown in, including various types of fish!

After a while, finally no fish came up, and Ye He's figure flew back again and stood on the side of the boat.

Except for the two ladies who didn't know why, everyone was looking at Ye He with an almost admiring look.

Going into the sea to catch fish yourself is almost unimaginable in this era.

There are too many dangers in the sea. There are vicious fish that can bite people in two, and some poisonous fish with stings that can seal their throats. If you accidentally go down, you will never come back up again. .

This is only the offshore area close to the mainland. If you reach the territory of sea beasts, going into the sea is completely equal to death.

That's why Ye He's ability is so amazing, and the crew members admire him extremely.

"Hey," facing everyone's admiring gazes, Ye He chuckled and said to everyone, "I'll treat everyone to fish tonight."

"Oh!!!"

The cheers of the crew rushed out of the deck and echoed throughout the sea.

That night, Grave, who had a fish dinner with Ye He, opened his mouth in surprise and even forgot to swallow the fish in his mouth.

He asked Ye He in disbelief:

"You caught so many fish... just to ask me which fish I can eat?"
