"Our ship?" Dorothy's eyes lit up with a hint of rainbow.
Li Ang had already sketched a basic design on the blueprint. What needed to be done was to decide the size of the ship according to the needs, to allocate specific spaces, and to leave redundancy for the future.
After opening the "Flying Airship" project in the system, since no ship was bound, the system presented a "Flying Airship Construction" subpage, providing Li Ang with knowledge about designing ship structures.
However, the system didn't have a feature to magically present the ship in front of him. He still had to follow the blueprint to the shipyard to find workers to build it, but Li Ang could take the lead in directing the process.
"You're not going to immediately mention a swimming pool, ballroom, or cinema, are you?" Li Ang said.
"What, what kind of person do you take me for?"
Unhappy, Dorothy nudged Li Ang, and Zoe, sitting on the other side, raised an eyebrow at the sight.
The Half Elf said, "Do I seem like the kind of person who wants a ballroom? Why would we need a social ballroom on our private ship? I'm not even fond of such occasions."
"So you're not denying the other two?"
"With such a big ship and just a few of us, is it not enough space for a swimming pool and a cinema?"
Dorothy pouted, "Don't you want to see this young girl's swimsuit?"
Zoe's brow furrowed even more, her delicate features bunching up.
Li Ang tapped his temple with his fingertips. "If we're considering a team of up to ten people, all these spaces can be accommodated. But calculating for the usual twenty elite members, unless you're willing to share a bunk bed with several people, there just won't be enough space."
"But all those large yachts can do it, can't they? Oh, and I'd also like a study and a tea room, and it'd be best if the dining room had a view of the sky."
"We're a combat vessel, meant for clashing with massive Demons. If the hull is too large, it'll just become a target for their special attacks.
"Unless you don't want personal rooms, it would be best to reduce some of the entertainment and leisure space."
Li Ang sighed. "We can have a swimming pool, but let's simplify the rest and make one space serve multiple uses."
"You didn't deny the swimming pool, after all."
Giggling, Dorothy said, "Remember to give each room its own bathroom."
"That's actually the tricky part."
Li Ang said, "Room planning is manageable with some thought, but the drainage system shouldn't be too complex. The ship's hull will face all sorts of impacts, and if the internal pipes break, your rooms will be flooded with sewage."
Imagining such a scenario, Dorothy said dryly, "Okay, then."
"I'll set aside a bathroom for you girls, with separate shower stalls and a shared large tub, and a restroom all in one compartment. How about that?"
"Fair enough," Dorothy said. "But the bathroom needs personal storage space and a sink. Without water in the bedroom, you can't just rely on the shower to wash your face."
"Too many demands, and if the space is too large, we'll need more Dream Marsh Treasure Trees, and our shipbuilding funds won't suffice."
Li Ang pointed toward the distant Flowing Silver Arena, hinting, "There's money over there."
Dorothy pursed her lips and stopped adding to her ship fantasy.
Zoe didn't quite follow but wanted to chime in, though she couldn't find an opening.
ALulu listened attentively, as could be seen from her innocent face, but she knew none of it concerned her, so she remained silent, simply focusing on finishing her dinner.
Dorothy thought of something and asked Li Ang, "How are you planning your room?"
Zoe, just about to reach for her fork, paused, looking up.
"Mine is simple. As the captain's quarters, it'll have an attached bathroom and bedroom. Everything in one place, so I won't intrude on your living spaces."
"Oh." Dorothy seemed to ponder this but didn't ask further. She quickly changed the subject, "Among those function rooms, the most important is the Demon Nursery."
"Why do you care about that?"
With a smile, Dorothy stretched out her palm, drawing a big circle. "Salamander eggs, the ones we found. Let's hatch them quickly."
"You like Fire Feathered Lizards?"
"I like ones that let me ride so I don't have to run."
Li Ang understood. She really struggled with combat running and displacement, as evidenced by her time in the desert.
He's not a Demon forcing her, a Caster, to train to the same physical level as a Warrior. It's just that she's currently too lacking in fitness, pliable, and she needs some basic physical ability.
In critical battles, giving her a mountable Demon is necessary.
"A Nursery is definitely needed," Li Ang said. "Including a forge, alchemy lab, and a magic containment chamber…"
Zoe shook Li Ang's arm gently, "When can you make me the beautiful equipment you promised?"
"Beautiful equipment?" Dorothy raised her light golden eyebrows.
"High-class Extraordinary and Excellence Realm Equipment."
Li Ang said, "That's still far off, but perhaps in the next few days, we can manage to make some decent ones first."
He mentioned the encounter at the Weapon House today and the subsequent material exchange.
"…This way, we can save time on material selection and create a set of equipment for you that's both practical and aesthetically pleasing."
Zoe hugged Li Ang's arm tightly, her red eyes glistening with moisture. "Make mine first."
She side-eyed Dorothy, and the Half Elf noticed and deliberately covered her mouth to chuckle at the petite girl, causing her to hold onto Li Ang's arm even tighter.
"Are you guys ready?" ALulu, her mouth full of food, asked unclearly.
