Jiang Chu is very thin in the game world.
But after spending two months on the island, he became a bit stronger, with defined abs and some chest muscle definition.
Moreover, his overall combat strength has grown from just over 300 to 360 points.
Without any drugs or culture chambers, they relied solely on their diligent daily routine.
Ariel was surprised by this, and she started exercising with Jiang Chu every day, following his example.
The two of them would start building a boat every afternoon as a form of entertainment during their breaks from training.
Two months later, a large ship, not luxurious but very sturdy, was finally completed.
Since he didn't need to be as disheveled as when he broke out of prison, Jiang Chu chose a very nice day to set off.
Based on Ariel's verbal description, along with his knowledge of the tides, the sun, and the location of his homemade compass.
Three days later, they finally arrived at a large island.
Just then, a dilapidated speedboat sped up in front of them.
Jiang Chu voluntarily raised his hands.
Ariel didn't do that. Instead, she was very excited and shouted to the other person, "It's me! It's me! Ariel!"
The ships opposite were filled with heavily armed soldiers, and they all became excited when they saw Ariel.
"Boss, it's Ariel!"
"She's alive! She's alive!"
They were quickly picked up and put on the ship.
The man who pulled Jiang Chu onto his boat was a tall, robust middle-aged man.
This man looked no different from the people of Xia.
Jiang Chu exchanged a glance with him and then said, "You are..."
In fact, Jiang Chu had already used his system to see through the other party's identity, but he deliberately kept it to himself.
After all, in such a relatively unfamiliar environment, revealing one's name is not dangerous; on the contrary, revealing one's talents is very dangerous and can easily be exploited by the enemy.
The other person smiled and said, "My name is Aihaili, I am Ariel's father, and also the leader of the Sword Knights! Welcome to join us, young man!"
Just as the other party finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a mustache suddenly walked over, staring at Jiang Chu with a sinister look on his face.
"Big brother, this kid can't join our team so soon, can he?"
Hearing what the other party said, Ai Haili was slightly taken aback.
Jiang Chu also recognized the man's identity.
Ted, the strategist of the Sword Knights, is a man who is physically weak, but his overall combat strength is about the same as Jiang Chu's now.
Jiang Chu didn't know what methods this guy had used to achieve his current status, but he was already wary of him.
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Chu deliberately feigned extreme anger.
"I never said I wanted to join your team!"
"Then you'd better get lost!" Ted said coldly.
"Fine, I'll get out of here now!" Jiang Chu said, turning to leave.
"Uncle Ted, what are you doing! Xiao Chu is a good person, he saved me! If it weren't for him, I would never have come back! Why are you saying that!"
Ariel quickly grabbed Jiang Chu's wrist and said urgently, "You can't leave! It's so dangerous for you to leave alone!"
Jiang Chu's face turned red with anger: "How can he talk like that? I, Jiang Chu, will not tolerate this!"
Upon hearing this, Ai Haili burst into laughter: "Hahaha, you little rascal, you've got quite a temper! But I like your temper! Brother, stay here! Of course, checking your identity is necessary, please cooperate, I mean you no harm!"
"Ariel, what your father said makes sense!"
Jiang Chu glared at Ted and said, "I don't like this guy!"
Ted laughed and shrugged. "I'm this strict with everyone who joins, but if that person is my brother, then it's a different story!"
"Don't worry, we'll never be brothers!" Jiang Chu sneered.
Ai Haili laughed too: "Being petty isn't good, bro! Let's go!"
...
The island occupied by the Sword Knights is located in the Three Northern Provinces.
The distance between the Three Northern Provinces and Tianzhou is actually not far, as both regions share the same sea.
After Jiang Chu and the others escaped from prison, Jiang Chu was washed ashore by the waves to a location relatively close to the Sanbei Province. He continued northwards and has now arrived in the Sanbei Province.
The island was named Sword Island.
Upon arriving on the island, Jiang Chu saw a group of soldiers training on the beach.
These people are all around level three.
Jiang Chu could tell that the group of people were all around 25 years old.
At this age, if you want to grow up, you've already missed the golden period.
However, the background of the competition tells Jiang Chu that people at this stage are generally not particularly strong.
Reaching level 4 or 5 by the age of 20 is considered abnormal.
Upon arriving at the force measuring instrument on the island, Jiang Chu was asked to undergo a test.
After all, this is a world more than 20 years removed from reality, and the technology is relatively more advanced. This force measuring device also has the effect of a lie detector.
Ted asked Jiang Chu many questions about his identity and background, and Jiang Chu answered them one by one according to the answers given by the game's main AI, without telling a single lie.
When it came to the crucial questions, Jiang Chu chose to avoid answering.
After asking a series of questions, Ted was very dissatisfied, and his face grew increasingly gloomy.
Meanwhile, Ai Haili tried to smooth things over, saying, "Ted, don't ask Jiang Chu so many questions. He has his own difficulties."
"That won't do! Come with me!" Ted said, pointing at Jiang Chu.
