Wang Fan then strode onto the deck and quickly began installing the cannons.
The three women, seeing Wang Fan's busy figure, curiously gathered around.
Little Meng blinked her big eyes and asked, "Brother, what is this? It looks really cool."
Wang Fan continued working with his hands, and replied with a smile, "This is a cannon. I'll show you its power later. With it, those damn Black Wind Alliance bastards will know what's what."
Xiao Meng nodded as if she understood, but her eyes remained fixed on the cannon.
The other two women were also somewhat relieved to see Wang Fan's confident and composed demeanor.
Wang Fan finally finished installing the cannon. He grinned and said, "Come on, let me test the power of this big treasure!"
He lit the cannon's fuse and shouted to the three women, "Quickly cover your ears!"
The three girls quickly and obediently covered their ears.
With a deafening roar, the cannon shot out a huge burst of fire, and the shells whistled out, exploding on the distant sea.
In an instant, the seawater was blasted several meters high, forming a huge water column, which then turned into a shower of water droplets that fell down.
Huge waves surged up on the sea surface, spreading outwards, causing the entire ship to rock violently with the waves.
Everyone was so shocked by the power of the artillery that they were speechless.
Xiao Meng opened her mouth wide and her eyes widened.
Hua Nianci and Qin Xiaoxuan were also filled with disbelief; they had never imagined that the cannons would have such earth-shattering power.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Wang Fan felt a surge of pride.
Even he himself was shocked by the cannon's power. He muttered to himself, "I didn't expect this enchanted cannon to be so powerful. The Black Wind Alliance had better not mess with me, or else..."
Just then, Sand Sculpture and Little Black appeared out of nowhere, and I thought something had happened.
The sand eagle flapped its powerful wings without fear, stood tall and straight, and instantly assumed a defensive posture.
Little Black, with its tail between its legs, kept barking, as if to say, "What terrible thing happened? You scared me to death!"
Wang Fan glared at Xiao Hei with annoyance and said, "You coward! You're usually so energetic, why are you so scared now? And why are you all dark?"
Little Black whimpered pitifully, "Master, I accidentally got hurt by a small black stone on the island, and that's how I ended up like this."
Wang Fan rolled his eyes, about to say something, when he suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "Little Black, is the black stone you mentioned heavy and has a smooth surface?"
Little Black blinked, thought for a moment, and replied, "It seems so, Master."
A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Fan's eyes: "Could it be coal? If it really is coal, that would be fantastic."
Wang Fan has been busy taking care of the injured Hua Nianci these past few days, while Sha Diao and Xiao Hei have been wandering around the island.
Unexpectedly, the little black cat stumbled upon a dead mouse, which led to a potentially important discovery of coal.
Thinking of this, Wang Fan said urgently, "Xiao Hei, quickly take me to the place where you found that stone!"
Upon hearing this, the sand sculpture spread its wings and flew towards that place with Xiao Hei and Wang Fan.
They first flew over a dense forest, and then they skimmed over a rushing stream.
Then they came to a valley with jagged rocks, where the sound of whistling wind echoed.
Finally, they reached their destination.
There were many black stones scattered on the ground. Wang Fan picked one up and examined it carefully, his face showing barely suppressed excitement.
"It really is coal!" Wang Fan exclaimed excitedly.
Just then, a notification sounded from the system.
"Ding! You have obtained 1 unit of coal."
"Beep! The 10,000x amplification function has been triggered!"
Congratulations! You have obtained coal*
Wang Fan was overjoyed and immediately called to Sand Sculpture and Little Black: "Quick, let's dig together! With so much coal, we won't have to worry about food anymore!"
So, the man, the eagle, and the dog started digging with great enthusiasm.
They dug with increasing enthusiasm and soon found a lot of coal.
Looking at the mountain of coal piled up in his system backpack, Wang Fan felt a great sense of accomplishment.
After digging for a while longer and feeling that it was about enough, Wang Fan said, "Let's go back."
Back on the ship, the three women couldn't help but laugh when they saw Wang Fan, Xiao Hei, and Sha Diao all covered in black.
They asked curiously, "What have you been doing? Why are you all like this?"
Wang Fan grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth: "We've found the treasure!"
The three girls looked at each other in confusion. Xiao Meng spoke first: "Brother, what treasure is it?"
Wang Fan smiled slyly and said, "Guess."
Xiao Meng frowned and thought for a moment, then said mischievously, "Did you go to dig coal?"
Wang Fan laughed heartily: "You guessed right, it's coal, and lots and lots of coal!"
Hua Nianci wrinkled her nose and said, "Now that you've found the treasure, go wash up quickly. You're all covered in black; I almost didn't recognize you."
Qin Xiaoxuan chimed in, "That's right, that's right, hurry up and go, don't let the smell bother us."
Wang Fan shrugged helplessly and turned to wash up.
Wang Fan was washing up when the three women walked in.
Hua Nianci took a towel and said gently, "Here, let me help you wipe your back."
Qin Xiaoxuan smiled and walked over to Wang Fan, gently massaging his shoulders: "You look so tired, relax a bit."
Not to be outdone, Xiao Meng moved closer to Wang Fan and pressed his lower back firmly with her small hands: "Brother, let me help too!"
Wang Fan couldn't help but say, "Gently, gently, Xiao Meng, you're really strong."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Fan mischievously scratched Xiao Meng's armpit.
Xiao Meng giggled, and the bathroom was filled with laughter for a moment.
But in no time, Wang Fan reached his hand elsewhere.
...Two hours later.
Wang Fan rubbed his lower back and let out a satisfied sigh: "Ah, it's tiring but enjoyable."
After resting for a while, Wang Fan opened the system chat window and was immediately bombarded with a series of messages.
"Our alliance is hiring! Lots of benefits and excellent compensation!"
"Top-tier weapons, low price, first come, first served!"
"Black Wind Ship! Recruiting all kinds of fellow sufferers! No fees charged!"
"Pink Sweetheart! Welcome sisters to join us! Let's grow together!"
……………
Wang Fan noticed that everyone is now developing in teams, and fewer and fewer people are working alone.
He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, wondering whether he should find an ally to rely on, or continue to venture out on his own with the people around him.
Upon closer examination, I realized it wasn't appropriate, since he had too many secrets, and joining the alliance would easily expose them.
Wang Fan felt that they should add more crew members, otherwise, with too few people, many things would be difficult to carry out.
But he didn't want a man, since there were already three women on the ship.
Where can we find suitable female crew members?
For a moment, Wang Fan was so engrossed in his thoughts that he unknowingly fell asleep.
In his dream, Wang Fan seemed to see a group of heroic female crew members board his ship, and they worked together to meet various challenges.
