Imperial Resort was a multinational hotel industry, with properties across Phoenix Continent. Its headquarters naturally in Capital of Country C, which she must pay a visit to later.
After all, as a new owner, she must show her figure and inform every worker who was the true boss. Ling Qingyu, currently, had no idea that her new subordinate CEO was thinking about her personality with sweat on his forehead.
She was feeling blessed and blissful. At least, Imperial Resort as a sign-in reward, was meaningful. Although she didn't gain any aircraft or cruise ship, her wealth sublimated multiple times.
'Let's open our mysterious box.' Ling Qingyu said with a big smile.
Miss System rolled her eyes and obeyed Ling Qingyu's request. [Congratulations, you've received three golden cards. Please explore yourself.]
Ling Qingyu's eyes beamed with joy. Today must be her lucky day. She faced robbery but she earned several times that price back. It was worth it for the troubles she dealt with. She even gained Yin Jingfei's favor. Now three more cards.
'Extract them.' Ling Qingyu said.
In her hand, three more golden cards appeared in addition to the black one. Knowing the process, Ling Qingyu summoned and the first card changed.
On the card, a diagram depicting some sort of machine glimmered for a while before dissipating. The gold had now turned white.
Ling Qingyu narrowed her eyes and studied the diagram, and was again dumbfounded. If not for her strong will, she almost threw away the card.
What her eyes captured was the shape of a submarine, that Ling Qingyu was one hundred percent certain. Holy crap! This must be too much.
She turned her attention to the card's back and studied the short number explanation. Not much but some specifications and dimensions, which she really had no idea what the data meant.
Modified Typhoon-class submarine.
Four Nuclear cold-fusion power reactor
Ballistic-missile and electromagnetic railgun submarine.
300 meters in length, 30 meters in beam, 18 meters in draught.
Displacement of 35000 tonnes on the surface and 70000 tonnes when submerged.
Surfaced speed: 32 knots
Submerged speed: 40 knots
Operation depth up to 500 meters and maximum endurance of remaining submerged for 300+ days.
Unfortunately, Ling Qingyu wasn't a naval expert nor an enthusiastic amateur to understand what the numbers were describing. Heck, she had no idea apart from two noticeable points—power system and electromagnetic railgun.
The latter two already brought stars to Ling Qingyu's eyes. Nuclear power was already cool in Ling Qingyu's opinion. Damn, owning a submarine almost caused her orgasm.
But to learn that her submarine was powered by nuclear cold-fusion technology, not fission which every country utilized, Ling Qingyu praised and flattered Miss System numerous times. System's product was guaranteed.
Furthermore, the currently researched weapon like the railgun was owned by her. Ling Qingyu checked the armament section, briefly described below:
2 x Electromagnetic railguns
3 x surface-to-air missile system
20 x submarine-launched-ballistic missiles—SLBM
If Tang Ziyi replaced Ling Qingyu, she would be jumping around in excitement. Those who understood the data would exclaim how advanced and terrifying Ling Qingyu's submarine was.
Ling Qingyu wondered if missiles were a bit repetitive when the submarine already possessed railguns but then she left the matter out. Something was better than nothing—as expected of System's modified product.
Since she couldn't understand thoroughly, she sought advice from Sister System like a good student, listening to detailed explanations and illustrations, while comparing with some real-life examples.
Only then, Ling Qingyu's eyes widened as she gasped from shock. The gift was too high, suitable for her covert establishment of mercenary. A mere size depiction of this Typhoon submarine caused Ling Qingyu to lose words. Too big, nearly comparable to those cruise ships.
Miss System gifts ensured comfort and ample size inside the submarine, where Ling Qingyu could also regard the ship as an entertaining cruise too. Luckily, all the systems inside the submarine were automated with AI control and robots to maintain and repair.
Furthermore, the internal compartment contained mini-factories to produce weapons, parts needed for repair and underwater excavators to search for resources. Miss System stopped talking more and merely stated she would know everything if she stepped inside this behemoth.
Why did Ling Qingyu sense a deja vu of seeing a certain anime? Could her submarine be classified as a particular shipgirl?
Ling Qingyu tore the card to summon the machine to reality. It turned into several colorful dots and dissipated. She knew from Miss System's words that her submarine wouldn't be summoned directly. The machine should be now in the ocean, south-east of Country C, near its border.
Anyway, Ling Qingyu had no idea what black technology the submarine possessed, she could directly communicate with AI captain, codenamed Elena, through Athena's channel without worrying about the messages being spied.
Well, in any case, Athena should somehow speculate some of Ling Qingyu's secret, which she really didn't mind. Her cheap daughter was trustworthy though the kid liked to play tricks and betrayal sometimes. So long as Ling Qingyu asked for a promise from Athena, she had no worries.
Controlling her shortened breath, Ling Qingyu turned her attention to the second card. It transformed into a scroll of paper, exuding the air of ancient and profoundness. Ling Qingyu's brows furrowed as she asked Miss System.
[It's a formation technique derived from cultivation world, sort of like Feng Shui manipulation but several times more powerful, applicable in tiny objects as well.]
'What's the use if immortal cultivation is impossible in this universe?' Ling Qingyu shook her head and sighed. As expected, after obtaining so many goods, something average would appear.
[What's with your disgust? You don't even cherish a great treasure.] Miss System was pissed at Ling Qingyu's contempt.
'Ahem, isn't it?' Ling Qingyu chuckled. 'What can I do with these techniques? I can't even study them and relate the benefits to a real-life case.'
[Couldn't you send it to Tang Ziyi for research? I'm sure she'll come up with a few applicable methods which will strengthen yours in disguise.] Miss System replied with disgust.
Ling Qingyu's lips twitched upon hearing Miss System's scolding. She really couldn't refute it. Tang Ziyi's talent in martial arts and mysterious arts was proven with her successful results after studying the ancient steele, Ling Qingyu gifted.
Let's keep this scroll for now before asking Tang Ziyi to study. She already foresaw Tang Ziyi expressing middle-fingers at her in the coming future.
Finally, the last gift. Ling Qingyu prayed a little to any immortals, gods if they ever existed for luck. It transformed into a white card again! But the diagram resembled a satellite, prompting Ling Qingyu to read the descriptions.
