Chapter 22 Reef Island and the Bounty Hunter Guild

To be honest, Chen Qing didn't think these survivors could survive on the high seas.

For some, this game is an opportunity, a chance for them to rise above others.

But for the general public, this game means danger, bloodshed, and death.

They need a peaceful and stable life.

"Jarvis... what is the island you live on like?"

Chen Qing suddenly asked.

"Treasure Sea has always been associated with the legend that many great pirate treasures are buried here, hence the name. There have always been many pirates here."

"Reef Island is not particularly famous in Treasure Sea because there are many reefs in the surrounding waters, and pirates rarely visit it. However, Reef Island is a large island, and most of its residents make a living by farming."

Jarvis answered truthfully that there were also a small number of artisans like Jarvis who simply opened a small workshop, formed their own small caravans, or entrusted other caravans to transport goods out of Reef Island for sale.

Of course, sometimes pirates will come to the island to rob, but under normal circumstances, these pirates will not hurt people.

The island has its own guard.

Moreover, there are too many pirates in the Treasure Sea, making the competition between them even more intense. There are also many bounty hunters wandering the Treasure Sea, all wanting to become famous.

"Treasure Sea...is there no unified force?"

Chen Qing found it strange. Didn't anyone want to unify this place?

Jarvis shook his head and explained.

"Pirates who make a name for themselves usually go to the Crimson Sea; very few stay in the Deep Blue Sea."

"There have been many instances in the past where pirate crews or superhumans ruled the deep blue sea, but they were quickly defeated by other pirate crews or bounty hunters."

"Sometimes people who went to the Crimson Sea would come back after hearing about what happened in the Deep Blue Sea."

Everyone has a hometown, and perhaps relatives and friends are still there.

They knew all too well whether there were any good pirates, and the good pirates were automatically considered adventurers by them.

"Over time, all professionals and extraordinary individuals reached a consensus."

Don't even dream of ruling the deep blue sea; it's the cradle of many powerful beings.

Chen Qing nodded; this was indeed good news.

"Sir, do you intend to send them to Reef Island?"

Jiaweisi looked at Chen Qing's expression and asked cautiously, while secretly making his own calculations.

"That's the idea."

Does Reef Island welcome outsiders?

Chen Qing did not deny it; these people would just die if left unattended, so finding a suitable place for them to live was the best thing that could happen.

But that's all Chen Qing can do; they'll have to rely on themselves from now on.

"Reef Island welcomes outsiders to settle down. We welcome all civilians!"

Jarvis nodded quickly, overjoyed. These were all young and strong men, and they could even be connected with this lord. Perhaps their Reef Island could find a stable backer.

Although Reef Island is surrounded by reefs and pirates rarely land there, it doesn't mean they never do.

Every time they came to the island, they would not only plunder valuables and food, but also entice young people who left the island. Few of the young people who left returned.

The sea is full of unknowns, adventure, wandering, battles, passion, and the thrill of danger...

These things always have a fatal attraction for young people who are unwilling to be ordinary; they always feel that they can be one in ten thousand.

But the reality is often that the steps beneath the feet of those world-renowned figures are made up of their own bones.

"After we get to Sapphire Island, shall we go to Reef Island?"

Chen Qing asked gently and patiently.

"Yes, yes, thank you, sir."

How could Jarvis refuse? Her money, goods, and even her ship had been stolen, and many of her guards had died.

Chen Qing was willing to take them back to Reef Island, and she was more than grateful.

"By the way, what's this bounty hunter thing you mentioned before? Could you tell me more about it?"

"certainly."

Jarvis adjusted his posture to avoid Dalia's piercing gaze, which seemed to want to devour him alive.

"Bounty hunters usually make a living by hunting pirates who have bounties on their hands. Bounty guilds are very mysterious, and no one knows who their masters are."

"It existed before the oldest person on the reef was born."

"Bounty guilds exist on almost every island, varying in size."

"There's also one on Reef Island, where the only staff member is an old lady."

That old lady sits at the door and dozes off every day; the guild is only the size of a food cart.

"The bounty guild doesn't just put bounties on pirates; some bounty hunters are also on the list, and even some business owners."

"If needed, you can also go to the Bounty Guild to seek protection from bounty hunters."

"Occasionally, some pirates would also work as bounty hunters to make money. They would take on any kind of job, from trivial matters to world-shaking events."

Jarvis told Chen Qing everything he knew, down to the smallest detail.

However, her knowledge was limited, after all, she was just a small businesswoman.

Thank you.

Chen Qing nodded. It seemed that there were many mysterious forces and powers in this world.

"Sister, the midnight snack is ready."

Dahlia, carrying a plate, rushed over and squeezed between Chen Qing and Jarvis. She even turned around and glared fiercely at Jarvis.

"..."

Jarvis expressed his innocence.

"Be good."

Chen Qing reached out and tapped Daliya on the head.

Dahlia pouted and muttered under her breath in dissatisfaction.

Jarvis didn't dare say anything, wolfing down the midnight snack delivered by the super-powered vines in silence.

After they were kidnapped, the pirates barely fed them anything, only giving them a little water.

A hostage is fine as long as she doesn't die.

The other hostages gradually woke up, and Jiaweisi didn't bother Chen Qing, explaining the current situation to them one by one.

The other members of the caravan were grateful to Chen Qing; they had thought they were doomed after being captured by the pirates.

Among the awakened members were survivors who were still confused about the current situation, only knowing that they had been rescued.

However, as they ate the delicious food, they couldn't help but choke up.

The boat owner is such a good person!

After entering the game, every day has been a miserable experience.

They were living well in their original world, some even from well-off families, but they ended up going so far as to not have a single meal or a drop of water.

That's just too tragic.

What are your plans for the future?

Chen Qing sat down in front of the survivors. Daliya and Jarvis had already moved aside, leaving space for Chen Qing and the others, and went to the kitchen.

"My name is Chen Qing, and I'm a survivor just like you."

Chen Qing's calm, still voice boomed like thunder in the ears of the survivors!
