I Contracted All Ancient Divine Artifacts

Numerous ships docked at Ilamut Port.

However, Han Zhan and his team couldn’t afford any of them.

Because the Fishman Traitor Franky had interfered, raising all the ships’ prices by a hundredfold.

This was no longer an expense a newcomer adventurer could afford.

And if they couldn’t buy a ship today, the consequence waiting for them would be being devoured by the sea.

”Alright, let’s stop messing around with you.”

”Every newcomer adventurer arriving at Ilamut Port only has ten water coins on hand, so you have just one final choice.”

Saying this, Fishman Traitor Franky pointed to the end of a row of warships.

There, a small boat was tethered, just slightly larger than Seafarer Fan Pique’s wooden boat.

Any slightly larger wave could easily capsize it.

”That one, ten water coins.”

”Or you’ll wait here to be engulfed by the night sea.”

Franky said this while staring at Han Zhan with his dead fish eyes, waiting for the final answer.

During this time, Han Zhan felt the intense malice from the alien species.

This malice was undisguised and seemed justified.

Han Zhan looked at the wooden warships docked by the port, with disappointment in his eyes.

Was he truly going to be thwarted by such a small character? Han Zhan suddenly noticed at the far end, a ship with a distinctly different style.

This ship was entirely black and grey, unlike the wooden warships nearby, except that the hull was tattered and severely damaged.

Rather than a ship, it looked more like a pile of scrap about to fall apart.

”What about this ship? Why haven’t you quoted a price for it?” Han Zhan asked.

Fishman Traitor Franky slightly opened his fish mouth. Although it’s hard for the Fishman tribe to express their emotions, Han Zhan could still discern the comical smile he intended to display.

”That ship?”

”Are you sure you want to choose that ship?” Franky responded with a question.

”If you choose that ship, I can give it to you for free, hahaha!”

Regarding that ship, anyone can tell from the condition of the hull that it is a ship with a ”story.”

But on the Water Planet, stories are abundant; what lacks are those who tell them.

If they boarded this ship, it wouldn’t take long before it would be overwhelmed by waves, turning into floating debris at sea without the need for the ”Nightwalker” sailor Fox to intervene as he had threatened.

This was a scene the alien species longed to witness.

”I’m sure.” Han Zhan nodded slightly.

”Alright!” Franky nodded with excitement, rummaging through his bag until he found the contract corresponding to that ship.

He handed that contract to Han Zhan.

”As long as you sign this contract, it will become your exclusive ship. Unless it is completely damaged or destroyed, it cannot be replaced.”

Despite being deceitful, the Fishman Traitor still followed the rules, explaining the process simply to Han Zhan.

”Does this ship have a name?” Han Zhan asked while receiving the contract.

Just like the ”Nightwalker,” each ship has a corresponding name, representing a person’s identity at sea.

”Name?”

”Once the contract is signed, you’ll naturally know its name.”

Franky emphasized a mocking tone, seemingly very pessimistic about Han Zhan’s choice.

Without further ado, Han Zhan cut his finger and signed his name on the contract.

After writing his name in blood, the contract immediately ignited, transforming into a special symbol branded onto Han Zhan’s hand.

At the same time, Han Zhan also learned the ship’s name.

”Gray Sparrow.”

On Han Zhan’s character panel, a change occurred at this moment:

”’Gray Sparrow’ Captain - Han Zhan, Level 99.”

Additionally, a new UI interface appeared, belonging exclusively to him.

Captain, First Mate, Second Mate, Cook, Doctor, Sailor... obviously, these are roles that should exist on a ship.

Seeing the word ”Vacant” after these positions, Han Zhan finally understood why, before entering the Water Planet, the World Tree suggested that eight people should enter.

Including the captain and those marked as ”mandatory” positions, it is just right, neither more nor less, precisely eight.

So, after a brief consideration, Han Zhan promptly assigned roles to the Contracted Spirit Girls through this interface.

The First Mate is the captain’s main assistant, responsible for assisting in the daily operations of the ship. From the introduction, both Shang Siteng and Gongyang Jin are suitable for this position.

However, ultimately, Han Zhan appointed Gongyang Jin to this role.

Because Shang Siteng’s Celestial Origin ability is more suitable for the role of Second Mate, who is primarily responsible for cargo management and material collection. Assigning it to Shang Siteng is most appropriate.

Xia Youwei is the Cook, Li Lingzhen is the Doctor.

Nuannuan, Jiang Lingling, and Feng Xiaozao were appointed as Sailors, also responsible for acting as Cannoneers.

After assigning everyone, the ”Gray Sparrow” officially gained the ability for independent navigation.

”Let’s board,” Han Zhan glanced back once, spotting Fishman Traitor Franky standing there gloatingly.

Retracting his gaze, he was the first to step onto the ”Gray Sparrow’s” deck.

The damage to the ”Gray Sparrow” was beyond description, but under Han Zhan’s insistence, everyone came aboard together.

Seeing all the people board the ship, Franky eagerly untied the mooring rope.

In an instant, only the dilapidated shell of the ”Gray Sparrow” was left, being swept away by the waves into the distance.

Seeing this scene, Franky and those alien spectators all laughed mockingly.

They anticipated seeing the next wave engulf the ship and its human occupants together.

”Ah Zhan, can you now explain why you did this?” Shang Siteng asked, watching Ilamut Port fade into the distance.

”Because we’re already on the ship.”

Han Zhan’s answer seemed somewhat off-topic.

”Remember Fan Pique’s advice? To survive on the Water Planet, we must have a ship.”

”I asked him when our talent abilities would recover, and his answer was, once we have a ship, we will know.”

Now, they have a ship.

Hearing Han Zhan’s words, Shang Siteng followed a sudden intuition and summoned her personal panel.

Indeed, the content on the panel had undergone a new change!

”’Gray Sparrow’ Second Mate - Shang Siteng, Level 88.”

”Special Ability, Cargo Management - Celestial Origin (Level 88): You will be able to unlock and replicate various materials unique to the Water Planet.”

”Material detected - Deep Sea Cold Cypress Wood (Special Wood, Gray Sparrow hull composition), would you like to begin unlocking the corresponding illustrated guide?”
