Chapter 371: Chapter 370- Same Picture Realizing that Violet had nothing particularly meaningful to add, Grey shifted his attention back to Bao, who was still waiting expectantly for his response.
"Have you finished the magic ship?" Grey asked.
Bao immediately nodded several times.
"I have," he replied. "But before I hand it over to you... allow me to modify it one more time using Violet’s idea. I truly believe it’ll be of great help to you."
There was a trace of pleading in his voice as he glanced toward Violet, hoping she would help persuade Grey.
However, Violet merely spread her fair hands helplessly and shrugged.
Her gesture clearly conveyed that the decision was entirely Grey’s.
Grey narrowed his eyes slightly.
"What kind of modification?" he asked.
Bao scratched the back of his head before shaking it.
"I can’t explain the exact details yet," he admitted. "Not because I don’t want to tell you, but because I haven’t completely worked everything out. However, I can promise you one thing."
His eyes shone with confidence.
"It’ll greatly improve your magic ship."
Grey remained silent for several moments.
He carefully considered Bao’s proposal.
Originally, his goal had always been to make the magic ship as powerful and advanced as possible.
If Bao genuinely believed this modification would improve it further, then there was no real reason to refuse.
After a brief moment of thought, Grey gave a slight nod.
"Very well."
Bao’s face immediately brightened.
"How much will it cost?" Grey asked after another short pause.
Bao answered almost without hesitation.
"Not much. Just four thousand Spirit Stones."
The excitement on his face became even more obvious.
Since Grey had asked about the price, Bao naturally interpreted it as acceptance.
Although the amount caused Grey’s eyelids to twitch slightly, he still paid the four thousand Spirit Stones without any hesitation.
His remaining wealth had decreased considerably.
Even so, Grey didn’t appear the least bit bothered.
To him, resources were meant to be exchanged for strength.
As long as the results justified the cost, Spirit Stones could always be earned again.
After completing the payment, Grey shifted his gaze toward Violet before directing his next question at Bao.
"What about the captain?" he asked calmly.
"Is she modifying her magic ship as well, or did she simply come here to sell you ideas?"
"Tsk."
Violet clicked her tongue before pretending to look offended.
"Little Grey, do you really doubt me that much?"
She folded her arms across her chest.
"Since I’m the one who came up with the idea, of course I’d be the first person willing to invest in it."
She proudly lifted her chin.
"Besides..."
"Four thousand Spirit Stones aren’t nearly enough to scare me away."
Grey merely nodded in acknowledgment.
After speaking with Bao for a few more minutes regarding the estimated completion time, he finally turned around and prepared to leave.
Since he couldn’t collect his magic ship today, there was no reason for him to remain inside the warehouse.
Besides...
From the burning excitement in Bao’s eyes, Grey could already tell that the man desperately wanted both of them to leave so he could immediately begin working on his newest project.
The blueprint seemed to be calling his name.
"Wait, Grey!"
Violet quickly jumped down from the wooden barrel.
Without another word, she hurried after him.
