Chapter 36 Set sail, destination Moonstone City!
Chen Qi opened the boat door:
"good afternoon."
“Wow—”
Ann walked into the little boathouse and looked around curiously.
Yesterday, no matter how you looked at it, it was an old ship with a shabby interior.
Now that we have added furniture, it still has the old feel of a ship, but it feels like home.
"Nice arrangement. At this rate, you can go out to sea today."
An's eyes lit up. When she was a child, she also wanted to have a ship that could travel to the distant kingdom of God.
But after practicing magic, I completely forgot about it.
"By the way, I have something good for you."
Then she handed a package to Chen Qi.
"?"
Chen Qi took the package puzzledly and opened it.
Inside the package, was a flag and a piece of paper.
The paper is the restaurant boat's license.
The pattern on the flag is a knife and fork intersecting.
“This is the flag of the restaurant ship, and the license of the restaurant ship.”
Chen Qi patted his head, he almost forgot about this thing.
On the sea, pirates have their own pirate flags, merchant ships have their own merchant flags, and the navy has its own navy flag.
And to run a restaurant boat, you also need a flag.
According to the law, every ship must have a corresponding flag, and forging a flag is a felony.
Unlike the business license for merchant ships, it is very easy to apply for a restaurant ship because there are very few people working in the industry and the money earned is not much.
There are rules at sea. As a neutral ship with little money, a restaurant boat will not attract the interest of large ships.
When sailing long distances, a ship without a flag is like a person without clothes. If it encounters a curious ship, it is bound to be cheated.
Overall, his little houseboat needed a chef's outfit.
Chen Qi thought about it and realized that if he applied by himself, it would take at least two days.
By then, Captain Black Eyes might even come to Marlow Town.
"Thank you again, Teacher An."
Chen Qi took the flag and bowed to express his gratitude.
He had to admit that An was indeed a dedicated and responsible mentor for newbies and had helped him a lot.
Maro Town is a pretty good novice village.
An smiled slightly:
"You're welcome. This is my job. If you can become a second-level transcendent, I can get a generous reward.
Moreover, this is also very important for my extraordinary path.
So, when are you going to leave?"
"Um……"
Chen Qi looked out the window.
The flames of day are burning, and it is now noon.
He had collected all the rewards he was entitled to and made all the preparations he was entitled to.
Moonstone City is quite a distance away from Maro Town.
"Wait a minute. If we set off now, we may be able to reach Moonstone City before the daylight completely goes out if there is enough time."
“Is that so…”
An walked to the boat window and looked out to sea.
Now, the sea is covered by the heavy shadow of the sky, which looks particularly terrifying.
She originally wanted Quan Chenqi to choose a good day to go out to sea.
But come to think of it, no one knows how long this weather will last.
According to the information she received from the Meteorological Bureau, the weather in the Witch Sea will only get worse day by day.
An coughed twice, his expression serious, and couldn't help but say a few more words:
“By the way, when you go out to sea, you must pay attention to the things I will say below.
First, never get close to large ships, whether they are pirate ships or official ships, they don't like any ships approaching.
Second, it is best to reach the shore before nightfall. If the ship is still sailing at night, be sure to pay attention to the ship lights. By the way, if you encounter fog, you must also turn on the ship lights.
Also, if you encounter a sea beast..."
Ann suddenly paused.
These are the experiences of fishermen summarizing their lives over hundreds of years. Many dangers can be avoided through experience.
But sea beasts are different. Most of them can only be driven away by force.
But Chen Qi was sailing alone and did not have the strength to fight against large sea beasts.
If his ships see a monster like the Offshore Overlord, they can only hope for the best.
"What if we encounter a sea beast?"
Chen Qi asked with horror on his face.
An's eyes darkened:
"Pray, pray that you won't encounter sea beasts on your way out to the sea!"
"I see……"
Chen Qi prayed silently in his heart.
I hope there are as many sea beasts as possible along the way!
It would be best if everyone could be like the offshore overlord, be more sensible, and take the initiative to offer good things to him!
However, most sea beasts probably don't have the smart brains of the offshore overlords.
Although the offshore overlord has big, intelligent eyes, like a husky, it is already considered a very smart creature in the ocean.
After An gave his instructions, he left the small houseboat and went to the docked merchant ship to discuss the establishment of defense facilities for Maro Town with Mayor Maro and the captain of the merchant ship.
Chen Qi placed the flag of the dining boat and left the small houseboat.
He needed money for many things, and he couldn't buy Old Bailey's ship in full for the time being.
Chen Qi walked to the Old Bailey and squatted down:
"I still have some goods to sell. I'll give you 20,000 shells first. Wait for me next time..."
“No problem!”
Old Bailey said immediately.
After the Iron Hand incident, the Old Bailey no longer had any doubts about Chen Qi's ability to make money.
He previously thought that Chen Qi was being played by a rich woman from Yueshi City, but he never expected that it was related to a gang!
Although he still felt that it was very dangerous for Chen Qi to go out to sea alone, he kept it in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.
But if Chen Qi can come back successfully, he can earn at least one million!
"Thank you very much."
Old Bailey smiled and took the money:
"No, I should thank you for buying my rubbish ship. With this money, I can prepare to move to Moonstone City earlier, so that I can buy some clothes and won't be laughed at by my daughter."
After discussing the purchase of the boat, Chen Qi went to the market again, bought some food, and then returned to his small houseboat.
This voyage might take longer than he thought.
Then he started the boat's engine.
Boom!
The engine started and the brand new propeller began to turn.
At this moment, An and Mayor Maro, who were still on the merchant ship discussing the fortifications of Maro Town, heard the sound of the engine.
The two of them approached the side of the boat, hoping that Chen Qi would return with a full load.
But given the current situation at sea, and the fact that the other party went out to sea alone, it would be difficult for him to come back alive.
It is normal for the other party to be missing limbs when he comes back.
Just be alive.
They waved:
"Bon Voyage!"
"OK!"
Chen Qi walked out of the boathouse and waved goodbye.
The small houseboat set off from the pier and headed towards the vast ocean.
…
…
Near the sea, the sky gradually darkened.
Houseboats have been sailing for a while.
On the way, he had seen many large merchant ships.
However, Chen Qi’s first priority on the ship was to strengthen his body-building method through exercise.
Thanks to the knowledge granted to him by the skill card, he gained a better grasp of body-building techniques during the voyage and also gained a 2-point strength bonus.
“Hoo, hoo…”
Chen Qi took out some fresh water from the refrigerator and drank it in one gulp.
The body-building method consumed more physical energy than he had imagined, and his muscles were seriously damaged due to excessive exercise.
But luckily he is a chef with a strong physique and self-healing ability. This muscle injury can be healed by a good night's sleep.
After sleeping, he can still practice!
Chen Qi, who had overexercised, sat on the sofa and picked up the deep-sea hunter's treasure map and newspaper to check.
He quite likes this world, but unfortunately there is no Internet, only newspapers.
Moreover, a boat with only one person seems a little lonely.
Maybe I could have a pet.
However, ordinary cats and dogs are definitely not suitable as they cannot adapt to dangerous voyages, and large sea beasts cannot be raised for the time being as they would be regarded as heretics.
Chen Qi handed it over in his heart.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Just as he was looking at the picture, he vaguely heard a harsh sound of wind!
thump!
Another loud sound of someone falling into the water was heard.
The sound of a flying object?
Chen Qi put away the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure map and suddenly became alert.
On the Witch Sea, the probability of encountering a steam plane is very low.
What is more likely is that you will encounter some bird monsters.
In the Witch Sea, in addition to sea beasts, there are also many dangerous large birds.
He is not afraid of sea beasts, but bird-like monsters pose a great threat to him.
If it's a bird-shaped monster, it'll be quite troublesome!
Instead of encountering a sea monster, you encountered a strange bird first?
Is my luck so bad?
Chen Qi picked up the Collector, walked out of the boathouse and looked towards the sky.
The sky was gloomy.
He saw no shadow of any bird in the sky.
"wrong……"
Chen Qi gripped the gun and suddenly felt a chill on his back.
Behind him there were voices, the sound of footsteps.
There's something behind...
How did the other party get behind him?
His boat was sailing on the sea and there were no other ships around!
Either it's some weird stuff, or it's a master!
But if he is an expert, what is his purpose? At least from the appearance, there is nothing worth stealing on his ship.
For a moment, Chen Qi couldn't figure out what was behind it.
The next moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.
At this moment, the being behind him spit out a mouthful of sea water and expressed his hungry request in a tired tone:
"Boss...is your restaurant boat open now?"
Thanks to kopcn for the 100-point reward, and everyone for their recommendation and monthly votes!
Today is April Fools' Day. I originally wanted to use a title like "Taking leave", but then I thought it was too scary.
Happy April Fools' Day!
