After maneuvering around numerous metal piles anchoring the hovercraft, the shop assistant stopped in front of a new one.

[Cloud Shipyard "Stratiform Cloud" Hovercraft - Modified]

[This hovercraft from Cloud Shipyard has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate customers' customization needs. While its original performance is somewhat limited, excellent results can be achieved after self-adjusting the materials.]

[Tier: 5]

[Category: Hovercraft]

[Speed Increase: 25%]

[Stability Increase: 15%]

[Buoyancy Source: Subspecies Wind Dragon's Lung [Modification Part], Tier 5.]

[Sturdy Frame: Volcanic Porous Blue Iron Frame [Modification Part], Tier 5]

[External Skin: Cloud Shipyard Multilayer Magic Rune Canvas, Tier 5]

[Modification Possibilities: Buoyancy Source, Sturdy Frame]

"This is one of our store's proudest creations, and the final product is exceptionally stable. We have executed this scheme numerous times. If you take it home, you can adjust the floatation bags according to the need for speed or stability. The frame can also be modified to adjust the appearance."

The knowledge in Li Ang's mind told him that altering the frame shape would affect the speed and stability enhancements provided by the hovercraft, and its weight played a role too.

Just like this white hovercraft, it uses Volcanic Porous Blue Iron, which is a lighter mineral, with limited toughness. But at Tier 5, it's sufficient, while for a regular ship, it might be overkill.

"Is it possible to modify the skin as well?" Li Ang asked.

For him, the skin might be the most in need of modification. As long as the buoyancy prevents the ship from falling, there's no need to hold out for Tier 7 or above except against strong Demonic Disaster Storms. Choosing a sturdy frame can hold up for a while. The power can be assisted by the engine and other components, but the skin can directly use Monster Material, also the most straightforward component for affecting defense power.

"If all three can be modified, what you buy won't be a hovercraft; it'll be a do-it-yourself kit."

At this moment, the shop assistant felt that Li Ang had some knowledge but lacked actual experience. They explained the unwritten rules of experts.

If such high customization is required, customers usually bring their own blueprints or directly state their requirements to place an order, rather than choosing a finished product.

"If you want to select a variety of materials yourself, we have ready-made options available here, or you can provide your own."

Li Ang thought for a moment, tore open a Dimensional Rift, and pulled out a large amount of Water Attribute Demon's leather.

These scale-covered skins were the materials he had prepared for crafting Water Attribute Armor for ships.

"I mainly want to overlay these on the outside of the airbags."

The shop assistant snapped back to reality from the opening of the Dimensional Rift and looked at the tall pile of Monster Material, standing more respectfully.

"It would be best if these materials were secured with a set of underskirts. It's also a common choice for some Sky Knights' ships."

The underskirt mentioned by the shop assistant is similar in concept to the armor base outside the ship. It is secured to the ship's body to hang and fix a replaceable exterior protective framing.

Here, the underskirt is applied to the outside of airbags.

"Only, using Monster Material will be somewhat heavy, so it requires a stronger Wind Element."

Li Ang raised his hand and grasped a Pure Magic Energy Group: "Can Pure Magic Wind be used?"

"Yes, yes!"

After some discussion, the order for the hovercraft at this store was mostly confirmed.

The store would use their most stable frame to support the airbags. The internal gas would be filled by Li Ang later, while they were responsible for adding the underskirt outside and helping to hang the material.

They would allow all three aspects to be replaceable, so if Li Ang wanted to replace it with a stronger frame in the future, he could find the materials himself to solve it.

After placing a deposit, the group headed to the next place.

"I didn't expect a hovercraft to have so many intricacies." Zoe exclaimed. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"It's unavoidable because we need to arm the exterior with different materials at any time to adapt to the corresponding combat environment."

Li Ang said, "And there's a reward too. A hovercraft with Water Attribute skin is cooler in the sky, even in hot places."

"Can you see a rainbow?"

"I don't know about that."

"Try to think of a way."

"Is that something you can just think up?"

With the noisy girls, they arrived at the second store. This was not a place selling their own ship's components but a specialty store for parts needed for small Flying Airships.

Since they arrived here, Li Ang handed over the lead to Andasu. The beast-eared maiden paused at the store entrance, glanced at Li Ang, and then stepped inside.

"What's she looking at?" Zoe whispered.

"Hmm, even if she's a professional, she probably hasn't seen such a well-stocked store before, given that island?" Dorothy murmured behind.

"It's not nice to talk behind people's backs." ALulu said from the side.

"Alright, alright." Dorothy stuck out her tongue.

Although the Golden Canary was chatty, everyone agreed on this point. Not to mention Andasu, even Li Ang sighed at the industrial beauty due to the metallic glow inside the store.

Various forms of brand-new parts hung densely on the shelves, sorted by size and function, transitioning gradually like musical notes played by steel.

This kind of scene is only awe-inspiring when the scale is large enough, and the store before them resembled a specialty supermarket, with shelves full of parts extending indefinitely inside, as if endless.

This was recommended by people from the Shadow Shipyard as the largest specialty store; it was indeed unique. This place is the City of the Ship's Rudder, the most flourishing place for the shipbuilding industry, so it's probably the largest store in all of Nebis.

Andasu's golden eyes were dyed by the sheen of industrial steel as she walked and paused, searching not only for purchase targets.
