Vivian's eyes remained steady on him.
"As such, you deserve a proper reward. So tell me, Jake… what is it that you wish for?"
Jake heard her words and paused for a moment.
His mind turned carefully over the offer.
Right now, the only thing he truly wanted was to grow stronger.

Jake's thoughts continued quietly.
Upgrade Points weren't a problem.
Gold coins… he could work those out somehow, whether through missions, looting, or other means.
Even recruiting another crew member felt manageable with time and the right opportunities.
But a Grade-A Ship…
He still didn't fully understand what that classification even meant in this world.
Yet something told him it wouldn't be simple to obtain.
Ships of that level were probably rare, expensive, and likely tightly controlled by powerful factions or wealthy organizations.
