Chapter 1027. How did his right hand get broken last time?
Xiao Peng lay comfortably on the Luna's sofa. "Huh, it feels so good to be back! No wonder everyone wants to be rich. I didn't think it was such a luxury before. After my trip to Africa, the Luna feels like heaven to me! Ilka, what's that look on your face?"
Ilka asked timidly, "Master, what exactly do you do?"
"Ah?" Xiao Peng looked at Irka with a playful expression: "What do you think I do?"
"An officer of the peacekeeping force!" Ilka was still considerate and didn't say "chef" directly.
Xiao Peng laughed out loud: "I'm just a non-staff member of the peacekeeping force. Actually, all your classmates know me. Don't you know me?"
"My classmates all know you?" Ilka was confused.
Xiao Peng said, "Yes, Renault and the others have been traveling with me for so long, telling me stories every day, yet they didn't recognize me."
The more Ilka listened, the more curious she became: "Master, who are you?"
Xiao Peng asked in return, "Have you heard of 'Salvage King'?"
Ilka nodded. "Of course, there's also a support group for 'Salvage King' at our university."
"Huh?" Now it was Xiao Peng's turn to be confused: "Support meeting?"
"Yes!" Ilka said, "'The Salvage King' has a very high reputation among college students. The ocean exploration industry has always existed, but why is he the only one so successful? Ultimately, knowledge changes destiny. You know, the biggest difference between him and other deep-sea salvage practitioners is that he has read almost every library in the place he passes by..."
When she said this, she suddenly looked at Xiao Peng, because Xiao Peng would stay in the library for a few days whenever he passed through the city.
Seeing her expression, Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Since you know about the 'Salvage King', do you know his name?"
"Xiao Peng!" Ilka replied.
"Then what's my name?" Xiao Peng pointed at his nose.
“Master!”
"..." Xiao Peng was extremely helpless. He shouted, "Xiao Peng! Xiao Peng! My name is Xiao Peng!"
Irka was shocked. "Master, are you the 'Salvage King' Xiao Peng?"
Xiao Peng covered his face. What a quick reaction this girl has! You call her stupid? Not really, but you call her smart? She has nothing to do with intelligence!
He was about to teach Ilka a lesson when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Xiao Peng shouted.
Walter and Kasim came in. Kasim had shaved his beard and changed his clothes, looking much more energetic. However, his expression was still a little decadent.
"Boss." Kasim greeted Xiao Peng.
Xiao Peng didn't even raise his eyelids: "Have you recovered?"
Ka Xin said embarrassedly: "Boss, I made you laugh."
Xiao Peng said, "What's so funny about this? Being trapped in love, both men and women go through this process. I can only say that you are too picky when it comes to choosing women. The last one was like this, and this one is like this."
Kaxin looked aggrieved after hearing this. He was about to speak when Xiao Peng continued, "In the final analysis, you're just too bored to do anything! Starting today, go to the deck and help. I'm going to order you around like crazy and make you so tired that your head will be empty and you won't have time to think about anything else!"
"Ah?" Kasin blinked. "Boss, didn't you ask us to educate that little black kid?"
Xiao Peng glared at him. "What 'little black kid'? His name is Kambu! Besides, I asked Hua Chong to teach him, not you! The most important thing is: you broke his arm! From today on, you take care of Kambu! Be his nanny!"
"Ah?" Kasim's eyes widened.
Xiao Peng said, "What? They don't use cutlery when eating! They eat with their right hands! You broke their right hands, so of course you're responsible! But you're lucky, because after his right hand was broken last time, he followed me, so I taught him to eat with a fork in his left hand, which makes things much easier for you!"
Kaxin scratched his head: "Is breaking his right hand a habit? Boss, how did he break his right hand last time?"
Xiao Peng was slightly embarrassed. How did he break it last time? Of course he broke it himself!
Kaxin complained, "Boss, please don't ask me to take care of him. This guy is so seasick he can't even think straight! He's already vomiting like this before the boat even leaves. If we really get to the sea..."
"That's also your care!" Xiao Peng said, "You guys are so narrow-minded! Are you really going to be my lackeys for the rest of your lives? Khedira at least has the skills, so he can easily switch to IT. You're not even as good as Hua Chong! He knows all the tricks on the ship, and if he doesn't work for me, he can do well on any ship. And you? What else can you do besides fighting?"
"He can't even fight!" Hua Chong's voice came: "Boss, I'm not eavesdropping, the door is not closed! Can I come in?"
"Come in!" Xiao Peng said.
The ones who came in were Chen Cheng and Hua Chong.
Chen Cheng said apologetically: "Boss, I really..."
He and Ma Xiao both met with Xiao Peng individually, and Xiao Peng explained the whole story to them. They both accepted the punishment. Although Ma Xiao was primarily responsible, Chen Cheng also had faults, so they were both punished.
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "The fine has been imposed and the matter is over. How are things going with the new crew members on board?"
Chen Cheng shook his head and said, "Boss, I don't quite understand. Is there something about the people on board that you're dissatisfied with? This leak is indeed the responsibility of Ma Xiao and me, but it has nothing to do with the crew! Don't let our mistakes implicate the other crew members."
Xiao Peng laughed after hearing this: "What did you call me just now?"
"Boss!" Chen Cheng didn't understand what Xiao Peng meant.
"What's a boss?" Xiao Peng explained. "It's someone who tells you you're important and indispensable, while simultaneously looking for someone to replace you. Okay, enough teasing. I just think life at sea is too tiring, so I'd like to give you some relief."
"It's not bad!" Chen Cheng said, "Everyone has gotten used to this life!"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Chen Cheng, have you ever considered this? You are the captain. If you want, you can work on the ship for the rest of your life, but what about the sailors? The mechanics in the engine room are okay, but what about the sailors on the deck? What will happen to them when they get old? They can't do anything except hard labor on the ship. They can make more money with me, but what will they do when they go back? What if they are exhausted and overdrawn? Working at sea, exposed to the wind and sun, and doing a lot of work, which sailor doesn't look old? I don't even dare to look in the mirror now, let alone those people on the ship! You have to think about their future anyway!"
After hearing this, Chen Cheng was silent for a while and then nodded and said, "I understand!"
Xiao Peng continued, "Chen Zetao is bringing twenty sailors to our side to participate in the salvage operation. They'll be assigned to the 'Calypso,' so let them do all the hard work! Free labor is a waste! Oh, and speaking of that! Kasim, what the hell are you standing here for? Go mop the deck!"
