Chapter 145 Death Voyage 2
"You haven't grown up yet... You're pretty good looking."
Yu Ke looked at the bearded man in confusion and tentatively replied, "...Thank you?"
The bearded man hurriedly looked away, not daring to look into her misty black eyes again.
"Ahem, well, no need to thank me, just follow me."
His voice became much lower and his tone tried to be as light and gentle as possible, which made Yu Ke less afraid when facing him.
She followed the bearded man and asked hesitantly, "Where are we going?"
If it were someone else, the bearded man would not answer, and if he was in a bad mood, he would even take the opportunity to curse a few more times.
But hearing the sweet female voice behind him, he answered quickly without hesitation:
"We have arrived. Now we need to gather and see how the captain will arrange the next work."
Yu Ke looked at the introduction of the copy background again.
Arrange work...Are you arranging gold panning work?
But the main quest requires players to return home within seven days, so they can’t spend their time panning for gold.
Xiao Piaoliang frowned in confusion, thinking about what to do, but after thinking for a long time she couldn't come up with any idea, so she gave up.
Never mind, we have just entered the dungeon, no rush.
She followed the bearded man to the deck, where more than twenty people had already gathered, and a dozen more followed.
The scene was chaotic, and everyone was divided into several small groups, guessing what the arrangements would be.
The bearded man was quite tall. He intentionally blocked Yu Ke's figure and took her to an inconspicuous corner.
Before leaving, he whispered to Yu Ke: "Be careful when you are alone. If someone has bad intentions towards you, come find me."
Yu Ke nodded her head to show that she understood, and her impression of the bearded man improved a lot.
I didn't expect that he was such a nice person.
System 5488: [. 】This is difficult to evaluate.
Yu Ke was hiding in a corner by herself, turning her head to look at the people around her.
Men and women of all kinds gathered together, making a lot of noise, and she couldn't tell which ones were the players.
Just when I was thinking about whether I should go find someone to talk to, someone in front of me came with a loudspeaker asking everyone to be quiet.
"Shut up, everyone! Listen to me!"
When everyone quieted down, the man holding the loudspeaker spoke again: "The captain is busy, let me make the arrangements, and those whose names are called will come up later."
"Li Si!"
"Zhang San!"
Yu Ke perked up and listened to the arrangements made by the person in front of her. She was wondering what kind of work there would be in gold panning, but after listening to a series of arrangements, it turned out to be nothing but fishing.
This made her feel deeply confused.
Fishing...what does it have to do with gold panning?
"Sun Zhi!"
“Here it comes!”
Sun Zhi is a young man with a cheerful face and ordinary looks, the kind that would be hard to find in a crowd the next second.
He rushed to the man holding the megaphone, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to him, "Brother, have one first to relax."
The man holding the horn was the captain's mate, a middle-aged man with a high hairline.
He glanced at the cigarette in front of him, said nothing, and just opened his mouth to indicate.
Sun Zhi immediately put the cigarette in his mouth and took out a lighter to light it for him. "Brother, I know a few cooking skills. Why don't you let me help in the kitchen?"
The mate took a puff of his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring comfortably. "The kitchen is short of an assistant, so go ahead."
Sun Zhi smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you brother!"
He lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes, then turned around and returned to the crowd with a smug look on his face.
The players in the crowd looked at Sun Zhi's servile appearance and thought that he was also an NPC.
What kind of player would be so fawning to an NPC?
And it is useless to please NPCs. No matter how much you flatter them, they will still kill players if they get the chance.
Sugar-coated bullet, eat the sugar coating and throw the bullet back to the player.
Yu Ke curiously guessed Sun Zhi's identity. Her idea was different from that of other players.
Sun Zhi is the first person who doesn’t have to go fishing. Isn’t this quite special?
"Yu Ke!"
Hearing her name, Yu Ke quickly withdrew her gaze from Sun Zhi and trotted forward.
At this moment, everyone present saw her.
All the whispers disappeared, and everyone's eyes flashed with amazement. Their fiery gazes were focused on her, and they refused to move away for a long time.
Yu Ke felt a burning sensation on her back and pursed her lips uncomfortably, deciding in her mind that she would put on the cloak once the group was dismissed.
No matter how many times she tried, she just couldn't get used to being stared at by so many people.
The mate looked at her and paused.
"you……"
Yu Ke's shoulders tensed slightly, thinking that she should go fishing as well.
After all, she had no cigarettes to pass around, and no cooking skills.
...But she doesn't seem to know how to fish?
I was worrying about what to do if I couldn't catch any fish when I heard the next words from the mate: "You go to the kitchen too."
Yu Ke was stunned, nodded silently to accept the arrangement, and then shrank back into the corner.
But this time, the remote corner could no longer protect her. From time to time, various eyes would fall on her, either implicitly or directly.
Yu Ke didn't care and asked System 5488: [Are there any tools to quickly learn cooking skills? 】
She doesn't have any cooking skills, so if she goes to help in the kitchen she won't be able to do anything.
She still remembered what the bearded man said.
If she didn't work, the captain would throw her into the sea.
System 5488: [No. 】
This is a shopping mall for horror games, not a shopping mall for business games! How could there be such a tool for quick cooking?
Yu Ke settled for the next best thing: [Are there any boats for sale in the mall? 】
Then it wouldn't matter if she was thrown into the sea.
System 5488: […Yes, there is, but we can’t afford it, baby. 】Does it have to be thrown into the sea?
Yu Ke lowered her eyes in disappointment, with no way out.
Those who went up later were arranged to go fishing, only she and Sun Zhi went to the kitchen.
After the mate had arranged everyone, he immediately urged them to get to work.
"You are not allowed to rest until you catch 10,000 kilograms of fish every day! If you don't meet the target, you won't get dinner! You decide whether you want to continue wasting your time."
After saying this, the mate left, leaving the other crew members to lead everyone to fish.
Sun Zhi smiled and moved closer to Yu Ke, "It seems like we are destined to be together. It's just the two of us going to the kitchen."
Yu Ke took a step back uncomfortably.
Sun Zhi was too close, which was not the distance that should exist between two strangers.
She could almost smell the sour odor coming from him, and it made her feel a little sick.
Sun Zhi seemed unaware of her resistance. When she stepped back, he took another step forward, lowered his head, and moved closer to Yu Ke's neck.
He sniffed and lowered his voice deliberately: "You smell so good."
