Chapter 388 Your fleet is surrounded by me!
The sea breeze with a smell of gunpowder blew gently.
Chen Qi looked up and looked at the lighthouse keeper with wrinkled face.
When he first went ashore, the first person he saw was the lighthouse keeper who was over fifty years old.
As a lighthouse keeper, he didn't know how many years he had been guarding this place.
Relying on this qualification, even if Maro Town has undergone tremendous changes, he will still be the guardian of Maro Town, responsible for guarding against the invasion of pirates and sea beasts.
Ann's apprentice, that poor child... The lighthouse keeper put his hand on the alarm bell, feeling very surprised.
As far as he could remember, Chen Qi had run a catering boat business for a while, but soon after, he disappeared without a trace!
Therefore, he originally thought that Chen Qi had been swallowed by some unknown sea beast long ago.
This is not surprising. Driven by the pursuit of treasure, countless young people die in the raging sea every day.
Rather, it was unbelievable that Chen Qi at this moment could stand on the deck of a ship burning with green flames!
A miracle!
The fourth-order spiritual power, which was like a blade, made the old lighthouse keeper feel a tingling sensation on his skin.
At the same time, based on his experience, the sturdy hull might be able to withstand the bombardment of heavy artillery.
The old lighthouse keeper asked in a calm, aged, and cool voice:
"Qi, you're back? Is this an illusion?"
the lighthouse keeper asked, placing his hand on the alarm bell.
There is no doubt that the ship and Qi are extremely threatening and full of unknowns. As a lighthouse keeper, you must sound the alarm and then organize a comprehensive defense immediately!
However, he just watched.
What prevented him from immediately performing his duty was not sympathy for a child he knew, but instinctive fear!
The poor child who had contracted the sea monster disease now faced thousands of magic bullets and cannons. There was no fear in his eyes, but unprecedented curiosity.
Chen Qi stroked his chin and looked over the current Maruo Town with interest:
"Yes, I'm back. I need to go to Moonstone City and buy some fresh food in Marlow Town."
Behind the lighthouse, the town of Maro is protected by a high wall, on top of which are a large number of magic-forbidden runes.
In addition, it is also equipped with thousands of magic bullet cannons.
The power of one of its guns is enough to penetrate a sea beast with steel bones. If multiple guns fire simultaneously, even a black sea shark will be penetrated instantly.
On top of the city wall, you can often see seabirds gnawing on the corpses of giant sea beasts.
At the bottom, you can see an Iron Hand and a Rune Bullet symbol.
This means that the wall was jointly built by Steam Hand and Magic Bullet Company.
It seems that Beiguo's super military industry "Steam Hand" has already set foot on this land.
Once the Hand of Steam appears, it means that many hammer workshops and companies in Bei Kingdom have arrived in Moonstone City.
Now, there should be a lot of good things in Moonstone City... Chen Qi analyzed for a moment.
The old lighthouse keeper continued to ask:
"Qi, what do you want to do with your ship?"
Chen Qi replied silently:
“Purchase daily necessities.”
Because of the Ice Witch and the Ice Demon Pirates who would come to the island in some cases, he had to prepare new bedding and food.
In addition, due to the long voyage, the refrigerators and lights on the ship were severely damaged.
All in all, he needed to spend a lot of money to renovate the boat.
Of course, there is another important reason.
That was the result of his discussion with the Ice Witch:
Before they boarded Moonstone City, they needed to "notify" the old guys in Moonstone City.
Pellew had already passed on the news of their plan to enter the city to the Moonstone City Council through the big white dove.
Even so, if a ship made of A-rank rift material approached Moonstone City directly, it would probably be subjected to an unimaginable annihilation attack, causing great panic!
Therefore, Chen Qi and the Ice Witch decided to take a break in Maro Town to give the people from the Moonstone City Council some time to react.
Chen Qi raised his hand and said:
"Don't worry, we're just buying some food."
The old lighthouse keeper hesitated.
Even though he knew Chen Qi, if there were a ship full of pirates hiding on Chen Qi's ship, the consequences would be disastrous!
Moreover, Chen Qi's spiritual force field now clearly belongs to a fourth-order legend!
Recently, due to the conquest of multiple large B-level cracks and the support of the Hand of Steam, a number of new fourth-level transcendents have appeared near Moonstone City.
However, someone as powerful as Chen Qi is still extremely rare!
His intuition told him that although Chen Qi was a recently promoted fourth-level transcendent, his level of danger might be comparable to that of an experienced fourth-level transcendent, or even the seven famous pirate generals of the Black Whale Group!
At this time, on the city wall, a middle-aged man with a big belly and wearing a black gentleman's hat interrupted the lighthouse keeper:
"Let him in. He is the pride of our Marlow town."
"I knew he was not dead! And he would become a world-famous extraordinary being!"
Hmm? Chen Qi looked up.
The person on the city wall was none other than Maro, the mayor of Maro Town.
Mayor... Chen Qi was stunned for a moment, then drove the Ghost of the Dark Sea into the docking port of Maro Town.
As soon as he crossed the city wall and arrived at the docking port, Chen Qi smelled the odor of kerosene.
This once poor island has now become a prosperous island with a giant shipyard, a weather detection tower, and a blood and medical clinic.
In addition, there is a bustling commercial street and abundant entertainment venues.
When Chen Qi looked over, he saw that next to his ramshackle home, there was already a luxurious extraordinary resource store.
Amid the astonished gaze of the crowd, the Ghost of the Dark Sea docked.
Chen Qi turned around and saw Fen resting, while the little crow was holding the water elf No. 5 and talking to himself.
Bree is writing a love letter to his half-dragon crush.
Chen Qi turned around and looked at the Ice Witch who was disguised and wearing a white hood.
The Ice Witch sat in the sun and said coldly:
"Little Black Hair, I'm reading a book.
Also, don’t buy too many desserts and don’t take too much care of me. I only need a little black tea and don’t need to eat much.”
That is to buy more desserts. These master and disciple are really stubborn... Chen Qi complained in his heart.
I can only go ashore alone...
Amid the astonished gazes of the crowd, Chen Qi flipped over and jumped from the boat to the dock.
The moment they reached the shore, Mayor Maro, who was pregnant, rushed over and hugged Chen Qi in his arms.
"Qi, long time no see!"
Mayor Ma Luo hugged Chen Qi and took a deep breath:
"Ah! Such a rich spiritual energy! You have been promoted to the fourth level!"
"I said, An must have gone to look for you, otherwise, why wouldn't he come back for so long!"
"It really didn't surprise An and me!"
Mayor Maro released his hand, his eyes full of admiration.
Ah... Chen Qi opened his hands, frightened by such enthusiasm.
As expected of the mayor, he wasn't surprised at all to see him.
He didn't expect that in the eyes of Mayor Maro, he was actually a genius who could be promoted to the fourth level.
At this time, Mayor Maro asked:
"By the way, is that hooded person on the boat your girlfriend? I wonder if you have seen An?
By the way, Qi, the scar on your arm is very deep. Are you injured and came back to recuperate?
Are you cured of your sea monster disease? There is a black creeping blood potion on the black market that can cure any deformity, but I feel it is dangerous.
That’s right! I heard that on the front line, an A-level crack collapsed, which directly caused the monsters in the sea of cracks to go berserk! Many people were injured!
A large number of merchant ships were frightened by this force and returned immediately! "
Mayor Maro spoke a lot of words.
Chen Qi was asked so many questions that he didn't know how to answer them for a while, so he could only change the subject:
"I guess so. By the way, Mayor Maro, Maro Town is really luxurious now. It seems that you have made a lot of money."
Hearing about money, Mayor Maro, who dreams of establishing his own extraordinary family, suddenly looked gloomy:
“I sold all my land to the Magic Bullet Family and made a lot of money.
But this is far from enough. My son, Little Maro, spent a lot of money to marry an exotic third-level cup-phase half-dragon.
Plus, after he is promoted to level three, he will need to buy a lot of skill cards..."
Mayor Maro looked embarrassed.
Extraordinary resources are like a bottomless pit that absorbs gold. No matter how much money you have, it is never enough.
Then he forced a wry smile:
"Now, the thousand shells in my pocket are all the cash I have."
One thousand cowrie shells... Chen Qi touched his chin. He had just given Bri an expensive sum of money for repairing the ship, and now he didn't have many cowrie shells on hand, but there were still about 100,000.
Mayor Maro smiled bitterly and said:
“However, there is nothing to regret. In this tide, money is not important. What is most important is to do everything possible to climb the path to transcendence.
But my son, Little Maro, cannot go to the dangerous sea of rifts like you and risk his life to climb this path."
"That's why you were able to reach the fourth level! I don't know how you did it!"
Mayor Maro became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder.
Seeing that among the many young people in Marro Town a fourth-level person had returned, he wanted to spread the news to the entire island!
The fourth level in front of them belongs to their Maro Town!
You know, even if the number of fourth-level ones has increased, he has only seen them under the command of those big families.
Chen Qi rubbed his head and brought the topic back on track:
"Okay, Mayor Maro, the main reason I came back is to purchase some daily necessities and food."
"No problem! Come with me. Although I am only a nominal mayor now, I know all the good things in this town!"
Without further ado, the enthusiastic Mayor Maro led Chen Qi to the giant shipyard in Maro Town.
At this time, the entire giant dock in Maro Town was an astonishing 50 meters in height!
The once small grocery store is now a huge machinery shop, filled with a variety of extremely complex hammer-like creations.
Chen Qi glanced at the goods and his eyes lit up.
The Bonfire Company’s sea lamp, which is priced at 300,000 shell coins, has super strong impact resistance and can maintain super high brightness even in sea water.
The Seal Submersible Boat, from the Seal Logistics Company, is priced at five million shells and can dive and move a hundred meters under the sea.
The Shadow Mechanical Claw, priced at three million shells, is the latest weapon, made from the shadow of the crack in Train No. 8, combined with mechanical technology. After equipping it, one can obtain a shadow hand that can be extended up to fifty meters.
Mechanical Armor - Hand of Steam, a set of full body armor equipment. After equipping, the whole body strength is greatly improved. The price is 10 million shells. The ones placed on the peddler are just samples. If you want to buy it, you need to negotiate with the president of the Chamber of Commerce.
Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh.
The coastal area as a place of trade is completely different from the sea full of dangerous cracks.
However, the real good stuff is not here yet...
At this time, Mayor Maro looked at Chen Qi and said:
"Qi, are you short of money?
In the Beiguo Bank on the east side of the island, there is a Transcendent Growth Fund. I heard that a Level 4 Transcendent can get a loan of up to 500 million Beibi..."
You know, to advance to the fourth level, you need a lot of extraordinary potions, skill cards and other resources.
Even with the help of supernatural organizations, this would still be a huge expense.
Most extraordinary people don’t have much money.
Growth fund? There is such a thing in Maruo Town? Chen Qi was stunned for a moment and refused:
"I have some other things I can exchange for money."
Chen Qi sold all the remaining items from the Sea Coffin and the useless supernatural materials in exchange for 30 million shells.
In addition to purchasing daily necessities, he also purchased a new set of campfire facilities and a complete set of Finnish-specific onboard planting systems.
There are also a large number of extraordinary vegetables, food, and feed specifically for raising large pets.
It cost a total of five million, of which the most expensive was feed, which cost a staggering three million.
Whether it is the Dengyue Sea Dragon or the offshore overlord, their food is measured in terrifying tons.
When Chen Qi finished purchasing supplies and came out of the commercial street, the whole sky was already dyed with a layer of red.
"Qi, where on earth did you get all these good things?"
This is the essence of the legend... Mayor Maro swallowed his water and couldn't help but sigh at Chen Qi's financial resources.
He returned to the dock again at dawn.
And in an instant, Chen Qi's expression became serious.
I saw that around the Ghost of the Dark Sea near the dock, ten warships with magic bullet logos appeared at some point!
All merchant ships evacuated the port.
And on the island, five hundred guns were pointed at his head.
It's the Moonstone Islands' defense fleet... Chen Qi clapped his hands:
“It’s quite fast.”
This time when they went to the White Dove Newspaper Office in Moonstone City, the Ice Witch and Chen Qi had no intention of keeping a low profile.
There was no need for him and the Ice Witch to act secretly!
Attracting an escort team was also expected.
but……
Chen Qi put his hand on the backpack card at his waist.
At the end of the boat dock, a lady with white and blue hair was sitting on a stool and drinking black tea.
While pouring the tea, she gave Chen Qi a fox-like smile, exuding a furnace-like aura!
The arrogance of a top-level fourth-level strongman!
It was none other than the leader of the Magic Bullet Family, the Magic Bullet Lady Ollie.
Mayor Maro, who knew nothing about it, suddenly became nervous.
Chen Qi might be a great pirate! A super great pirate! Mayor Maro had long suspected this.
After all, it is not easy to become a fourth-level person without engaging in piracy business.
However, out of concern, Mayor Maro never asked, nor did he dare to ask!
The most important thing is that even if he asked, with the existing defense of Maro Town, nothing could be changed.
He also instinctively believed that Chen Qi was not some evil pirate!
However, he never expected that Chen Qi could attract the president of the Moonstone City Council - Mrs. Oli!
Suddenly, everyone at the dock was stunned.
When that lady travels, she is accompanied by a group of magic bullet hunters!
They were a powerful group of hunters that had, in history, sniped and killed three legendary figures from a distance of ten thousand meters!
Mayor Maro instinctively sensed the countless gun muzzles hidden in the shadows!
The entire town of Maruo could be completely destroyed because of what happened today!
In the distance, more and more warships began to appear.
The number is far more than ten, but may be a staggering one hundred!
That is the total number of Moonstone City’s defense fleet!
Moonstone City took the initiative to mobilize the entire fleet!
The fleet, the city wall cannons, the magic bullet hunters, and Mrs. Ollie.
Mayor Maro stammered:
"Qi, Qi, what on earth did you do outside... You, you were...surrounded...by the Magic Bullet Hunters..."
Surrounded? Chen Qi put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Mrs. Oli.
The closer he got, the more gun muzzles were pointed at his head from the shadows.
Soon, more than five hundred magic bullet guns were aimed at his head.
Chen Qi looked at Mrs. Aoli with a serious face, lowered his head, and said leisurely:
"No, they are surrounded."
"Right, Mrs. Ollie?"
