Witch, I'm really not the Deep Sea Ancient God!-Chapter 576 - 358: Crazy Shopping!_2

Chapter 576: Chapter 358: Crazy Shopping!_2

Afterward, the sea god statue fell into a slumber.

Chen Qi picked up the sheepskin scroll and said softly,

“I will trade ten thousand ancient currencies for a Nether Sea Boat engine.”

Then, Chen Qi stretched out his hand and said,

“According to the contract, little Tentacle Merchant, you still owe me twelve thousand ancient currencies.”

...

The Tentacle Merchant was completely dumbfounded.

Before the sacrifice, these two were deceived sheep who had to pay back money!

Why do I still need to give them money after the sacrifice is complete!

This isn’t fair!

Could it be that, in the eyes of the Sea God, I am even less than an adventurer… Inside, the Tentacle Merchant’s heart was gradually being stained by boundless sorrow, on the verge of losing control.

Little Crow hid behind Chen Qi and said a phrase,

“Gods must not be insulted.”

This 𝓬ontent is taken from fгeewebnovёl.co𝙢.

Indeed, the will of the gods must not be defied… The Tentacle Merchant blinked and said softly,

“To correct that, it’s 11,998 ancient currencies.”

The Tentacle Merchant’s small feet stepped across the cold ground:

“Come with me; I will install the engine for the Nether Sea Boat for you.”

“The installation fee is 200 ancient currencies.”

Two hundred ancient currencies installation fee! Chen Qi added,

“According to market rates, about 100 ancient currencies should suffice.”

“You…”

The Tentacle Merchant held back the anger in her heart and led Chen Qi and his companion to the decrepit city’s dockyard.

Chen Qi carefully observed the Tentacle Merchant’s figure from behind.

Compared to other monsters in the cracks, Tentacle Merchants clearly have higher rationality and intelligence.

Sure enough, these ‘monsters’ were once human… Chen Qi thought to himself.

These little tentacles are likely beings transformed by the deep sea power.

Merely influenced by the power of Deep Sea Bloodline, not natural holders of the Deep Sea Bloodline.

This might also be a key reason why his Deep Sea Affinity had not fully taken effect.

Moments later, the Tentacle Merchant came out of her collection boathouse, holding a spherical object three times her height…

That is… Chen Qi’s pupils suddenly contracted.

He saw, the engine was throbbing in the hands of the Tentacle Merchant, and each throb set off ripples on the surface of the sea.

The core of the engine was surrounded by circles of ghostly blue Ghost Fire, these flames danced and flickered, emitting no warmth, only a chill and distant light, like stars in the Netherworld.

Beneath the Ghost Fire, runes were faintly visible, ancient runes and unknown totems intertwining and entwining, slowly revolving with the rhythm of the flames, releasing a powerful Lamp Phase energy!

This engine far surpassed any that Chen Qi had seen; its power was so immense, far exceeding Chen Qi’s own entity.

Even the space-consuming Space Jump Engine would probably not cause any damage to this engine.

The Tentacle Merchant explained,

“This is the once Noah Engine from legends, forged by the hands of Hammer Phase Demigod Melting Hammer and Cold Blade.”

“Of course, its energy is immense and stable, but not infinite; it requires periodic replenishment of Deep Sea Spiritual Power for recovery.

“Oh, where is your ship?”

Chen Qi pointed to their Ghost Ship.

“Humph—”

Looking at the Ghost Ship, the Tentacle Merchant curled her lips, showing a scornful gaze:

“Your ship feels like a Ghost Ship, but in terms of capability, it’s just an imitation of an imitation, a shrimp among shrimps.”

“An imitation of an imitation…”

Chen Qi did not retort.

If it were in a Grade B crack, his ship with space jump capability would undoubtedly be a good ship.

But put in a Grade A crack, it was doubtlessly just an ordinary vessel.

It could withstand storms and volcanic rain, but could not sail through magma, nor navigate dangerous cracks.

Just this one day’s journey alone, the piercing cold caused many cracks to form on the Ghost Ship.

The Tentacle Witch seized the opportunity to pay back:

“Guest, do you need to purchase a ship, or buy one?”

She needed to clear this debt as soon as possible to maintain her sanity.

“Shipbuilding.”

Chen Qi looked around the shipyard; most of the ships sold by the Merchant Coffin were Curse Ships.

Hence, the best approach was to dismantle parts from these Curse Ships to assemble a new vessel.

The Tentacle Merchant rubbed her little tentacles:

“For twelve thousand ancient currencies, we can build you a ship that can freely sail in the Sea Coffin, crossing the Deep Sea Titan Territory…”

Twelve thousand ancient currencies! Little Crow, carrying a lantern, muttered behind Chen Qi,

“That, Miss Tentacle?”

“What is it? You minnow worth a single ancient currency!”

The Tentacle Merchant snarled with bared fangs.

If not for the will of the Sea God, she would have long disregarded these two adventurers.

Little Crow spoke softly,

“I heard that the Sea God is the god of fair trade… Is the price of twelve thousand reasonable? I am not sure how much it actually costs to build a new ship?”

Little Crow looked at the Tentacle Merchant and added another sentence,

“If I’m worth one ancient currency, I think maybe the price to build a ship could be cheaper? Right, Miss Tentacle, how many ancient currencies are you worth?”

Little Crow mustered courage, making the inquiry as politely as possible.

She wanted to figure out the ‘price standard’ from the Tentacle Merchant’s mouth to help Chen Qi with the negotiation.

How much am I worth? The Tentacle Merchant bent her eyebrows, smiled politely and said,

“Followers of the Sea God are priceless.”

“As a friend, I can give you a discount, three thousand ancient currencies, I can help you retrofit your ship, rest assured, these two thousand ancient currencies include the best materials from the Sea Coffin.”

“After the retrofit, your ship will have the Defense of the Deep Sea Titan.”

The Tentacle Merchant strived to give a ‘reasonable’ price.
