Chapter 170

The days went by as planned. Qiao Sheng and Li Mu went fishing, collected supplies, and sold cooked food every day. They didn't do this job at all. Usually, they would just put the fish they caught on the trading system. There was really no need to stock up too much.

Li Mu opened the trading system just to exchange things. Qiao Sheng would go there to exchange some snacks whenever she had time. They were all things she couldn't make, such as melon seeds, plums, and amber peanuts. Anyway, they were all things she couldn't make.

Because she exchanged so many snacks, she had the idea of ​​making snacks. She was studying how to bake cakes, and Xia Beibei had already exchanged cocoa nuts and coffee beans for her. With these, Qiao Sheng and Lin Haiyang studied together and finally arranged chocolate and coffee.

However, compared to baked cakes, Qiao Sheng and Xia Beibei prefer to eat Chinese-style cakes. Lin Haiyang is indeed a good cook. He not only made green bean cakes for them, but also invented sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and jujube paste cakes.

With more snacks, Qiao Sheng realized that Li Mu was also a greedy person. In the past, his wrist bag was filled with weapons and tools, but now it always has some snacks.

The monks love Chinese cakes. Now the rewards on the ship are ranked as the highest-end Chinese cakes, followed by meat strips and egg cakes. Qiao Sheng really wants to make some Swiss rolls or puffs, so that the monks who have never seen the world can also experience Western cakes.

After failing twice, she gave up. Li Mu made the oven, but she couldn't control the temperature. It was a waste of sugar to whip the cream, but it was a waste of time. She and Li Mu's arms were numb after beating the cream, but there was a problem with the batter. What she baked was an edible egg cake, not the chiffon cake she imagined.

Later, she gave up directly. There was no need to eat such trouble. It would be better to give Lin Haiyang some suggestions. Xia Beibei said that he is now the first pastry chef in the kitchen.

Just provide ideas, and the finished product will be displayed in a few days. Even he himself said that there was no point in taking the college entrance examination. He should have gone to New Oriental, where it would be easy to find a job and he wouldn't have to worry about the daily income.

Teacher Li, who was called upon, ignored him and sent him a message, informing him that the materials were finally enough and whether he wanted to make the driving equipment immediately.

Lin Haiyang did not reply for a long time. After several hours, he came to ask if the driving equipment on Xia Beibei's ship could drive their two ships.

Li Mu was not sure about this, so he could only let them give it a try. If it didn't work, they could dismantle one ship and merge them together. It's not that they are incapable of expanding it.

Qiao Sheng went to ask Xia Beibei why she wanted to team up with others. Xia Beibei replied that she had always acted on her own before and didn't feel anything. Recently, having someone to accompany her made the drifting life different. It was the same job, and she usually did it all by herself. Now the two of them divided the work and cooperated, and the efficiency was much higher.

The key point is that she doesn't have to worry about cooking every day. Lin Haiyang will prepare everything she wants to eat, and her messy ideas can be realized. He is simply a modern good teammate.

In addition, the number of times they go to the island has increased significantly recently, which was not seen when Xia Beibei was drifting alone, and Lin Haiyang had never seen a critical hit almost every time he opened a drift bottle, so they hit it off when they formed a group.

However, they are different from Qiao Sheng. After all, they formed a team halfway, and the unequal supplies became a big problem. After discussion, they decided to put all the food together. The quantity of these on both sides is about the same, and they are all handed over to Lin Haiyang for management.

The other previously acquired materials were still used separately. Xia Beibei used to live on the third floor by herself, and the second floor was a special storage space. This time, she moved everything to the second floor directly, leaving the third floor for Lin Haiyang to use, and the fourth floor was a planting and livestock area.

The two people's previous boats were not too big. This time they merged and directly widened and lengthened it, but the total area was still not as large as Qiao Sheng's. They really didn't need a large space, especially Xia Beibei's second floor, which had no space for a terrace.

On the other hand, Lin Haiyang left a distance from the bow of the newly expanded third floor, mainly because he didn't have as much belongings as Xia Beibei, and didn't need a large space. The empty terrace could usually be used as an open-air restaurant. The kitchen also followed Lin Haiyang's move and was arranged on the third floor.

After the expansion, the two of them felt very good. The whole ship was just unhappy because it felt that Lin Haiyang was not a good person. It would only allow him to get close to it when eating. It would bar its teeth when it approached, which made Lin Haiyang angry and said that it was hard to feed it.

Qiao Sheng and Li Mu are now trying to find ways to buy and exchange medicinal materials every day. They have exchanged all the Chinese medicinal materials in the trading system, and they are constantly planting medicinal materials in the planting pots at home.

Compared with food, Chinese medicinal materials are more laborious because they have to be classified according to whether they like the sun or the shade. At first, they didn't pay attention and planted them all together. When they looked at it later, many of them didn't germinate. After checking, they realized that there was such a difference.

Some even need more watering, while others need less watering. By comparing, food and water are indeed the easiest to obtain in this game.

These days, Li Mu has either been boiling cod liver oil on the stove of the cassock cubs, or fiddling with Chinese herbs in the three-story cabin.

Chinese herbs that like dryness and sunshine cannot survive in this weather, but those that are water-rich and shade-loving are very suitable for planting in this season.

Qiao Sheng is also very busy every day. He collects supplies for half a day, and the other half is either fishing or busy processing food.

Until one day, they encountered a large wooden boat. Looking at the skull symbol on the sail and the clothes worn by the people on the bow, the two immediately realized that they had encountered pirates.

"What's going on? Aren't they usually notified in advance? How come this time, there's no action from the system?" Qiao Sheng was a little dumbfounded when he saw the situation in front of him.

After asking the system, he found out that they had encountered a dungeon again, but the star level was very low, only two stars, and there was almost no danger factor. However, the reward would be determined based on the player's completion, which was very random.

After discussing with Li Mu, he felt that this pirate ship was a bit tricky. The system said random rewards, which meant that they had to follow the game's ideas to get better rewards.

Maybe destroying the pirate ship was not the only way, but those people were pirates who killed people without blinking an eye, and playing the emotional card with them would make him look stupid, so this situation was very dilemma.

The two even wanted to back out. At worst, they could just give up. But then they thought it was not right. The worst that could happen was to kill all the pirates and get the lowest reward. They would deal with them as they saw fit.

They prepared all the weapons and medicines. The pirate ship was already in front of them. They knew from the movements of the other party that it was an old hand. The rope caught the railing of their ship, and a dozen pirates slid over along the rope.

The one-eyed captain in every pirate movie was standing at the bow, with his right hand on the curved knife at his waist.

Qiao Sheng and his partner were in the second-floor cabin, opening a crack in the wooden window to observe the situation outside. The pirates were so quick that when they found that the cabin door could not be pushed open, they violently demolished it. Between quietly observing and taking direct action, the two chose the former.

The reinforced cabin door took the pirates a lot of effort, and it took more than half an hour of smashing and prying to demolish the door.

During this time, Qiao Sheng still had time to tell Li Mu that the reinforcement was effective and that the entire ship would have to be reinforced in the future.

The pirates tied them up as soon as they came in, and even took off their bags. However, they were NPCs after all, and some things were still protected for players, such as storage boxes, refrigerators, and carry-on bags, which could not be opened without the permission of NPCs.

I don’t know if it was a problem with their settings, but they actually thought that there was no problem with these. After walking around the ship, they reported to the captain that the two were poor ghosts. The only animals and Chinese herbs on the third floor of the entire ship were worth a little money, and there was nothing else.

Qiao Sheng couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows after hearing these. It was a strange feeling to be scolded as a poor ghost in front of him. Li Mu was very calm and had no expression.

These pirates had simple ideas. Since they didn't get anything, they would either kill people or kidnap them. Although their boat was not very good, they took away a lot of wood.

So the captain gave an order, and Qiao Sheng and Li Mu were carried onto the pirate ship like two sacks of burlap. Their boat was not dismantled at this time, but tied with ropes and towed back to their nest.

Ah Dai had already flown away, and You Su, Xin Xin and the cassock boy were tied up like little dumplings and thrown beside them.

After closing the door of the cabin where they were imprisoned, Qiao Sheng took out a knife from the space, and with a few rubs, he broke the rope that bound her, and then untied Li Mu and the monk. It was

too uncomfortable to have her hands tied behind her back, and the most important thing was that she didn't know what kind of cloth was stuffed in her mouth, and it tasted weird. Qiao Sheng felt her teeth ache when she pulled the cloth out of her mouth. This gang was too cruel. She didn't look at the cloth carefully, and threw it aside. Looking at this thing too carefully can easily leave a psychological shadow.

When the two were still sending messages in the cabin, they heard a light scratching sound outside the wooden window. When they pushed open the gap, they saw Ah Dai.

With this aerial combat capability, things became simple. After the knockout drug was tied to it and the whole ship was flown once, all problems were solved.

At first, Qiao Sheng was afraid that these pirates would enter the cabin and Ah Dai would be difficult to operate. Unexpectedly, this group of pirates had not been open for business for a long time. They were very happy to catch Qiao Sheng and his big fish. Except for the crew in the cockpit, the others stood on the deck to celebrate, but were directly killed by Ah Dai.

When they first saw Ah Dai, these people had not reacted. When the powder fell on their faces and the people around them fell down one after another, they realized that they were in trouble. But it was too late to resist. When all the pirates on the deck fell down, the crew in the cockpit discovered the problem. As soon as they left the cockpit, they were subdued by Qiao Sheng and Li Mu who were ambushing at the door.
