Chapter 56 Night Flight
Chen Qi walked to the bedside, took the "Guide to Obtaining Sea Beasts" in his hand and started to read it.
Will-o'-the-wisp fish and bullet squid are both dangerous small sea animals that often move in groups. Once you are targeted by these fish, you will be attacked like a hail of bullets.
Although dangerous, they are much more valuable than moonfish.
Seeing that Chen Qi was thinking of going out to sea at night, Peilu reminded him:
"If you want to go fishing at night with a fleet, don't go to the boats of those gangs, especially the Black Rabbit Gang, the Wild Dog Gang, and the Axe Gang who like to wear formal clothes.
Although their fees are low, there are maids on the boat who will touch your thighs and praise how handsome you are!
But when you get ashore, the fees for tea, weapons, protection, and maid services are all places where you have to spend money.
Therefore, you must choose a regular fishing boat, which charges about 50,000 shells.”
As Perlu said this, she threw a wink, imitating those money-sucking maids.
"hiss……"
This sudden attack made Chen Qi frown like an old man on the subway.
It would be pretty nice if Peru didn't say anything.
But given Miss Pellew's chaotic reputation in Moonstone City, her seductive eyes could scare many people so much that they would crawl and run three hundred miles away from Moonstone City.
Then she continued:
"By the way, when you go out to sea at night, you must prepare ship lights and kerosene lamps. Recently, there have been six tragedies caused by turning off ship lights to save kerosene money."
"Well, don't worry, the boat lights on my boat are very expensive."
Chen Qi smiled confidently.
In order to travel safely at night, he had the foresight to ask the ship repairman in Maro Town to install a large waterproof and impact-resistant ship light on his boat!
Apart from the steam-powered engine, the ship's lights were undoubtedly the most expensive accessories on his ship.
“Is it expensive?”
Perru raised her head and glanced at his boathouse with the eyes of a rich woman, a little puzzled.
To me, it’s already very expensive… Chen Qi closed the book helplessly and asked the second question:
"By the way, Ms. Reporter, do you know anything about the Black Rabbit Gang?"
"What's wrong? Are you being targeted by a rabbit?"
Pellew asked.
Gangs are a major feature of the civilian area of Moonstone City.
Gangs are a supplement to the order of Moonstone City. With the coming of the rift tide, chaos intensifies, and gangs will only become more and more numerous and more arrogant.
“I guess so.”
Chen Qi replied.
There is no doubt that he has attracted the attention of the Black Rabbit Gang during this trip to the hunting ground.
Not to mention, according to his previous information, the Black Whale Group has some relationship with the Black Rabbit Gang.
Perru frowned:
“Have you been targeted? Then you have to be careful. According to the information from my informants, many gangs in Moonstone City have recently started to contact the pirate group.
The Black Rabbit Gang has a close relationship with the Black Whale Group, the leader of the four pirate emperors.
So you'd better be careful, because rabbits don't care about reputation before they leave the nest."
Perru ate a peanut.
The size of the Black Whale Group is growing.
Chen Qi held his chin in his hand, thinking.
The gangs were originally pirates on land, so it was not surprising that they joined the pirates.
After the rift tide arrives, the probability of a rift appearing in the sea is much greater than the probability of it appearing on land.
In this situation, joining the pirates was a very far-sighted choice.
The Black Rabbit Gang is nothing to be afraid of, but two fists are no match for a hundred hands. We need to be careful when taking action in Moonstone City... Chen Qi thought to himself.
Perlu shook her head. She quite liked the boss's cooking skills.
She comforted him:
“But don’t worry too much. Gangs are the rats in the city after all, especially in ports under the jurisdiction of the navy. They would never dare to cause trouble.
When I have time, I will take some time to interview the Black Rabbit Gang and ask them to behave themselves!"
Interview, are you sure this is not a threat? Chen Qi was slightly surprised. The other party was indeed the most arrogant reporter in Moonstone City.
Perlu stood up and put the manuscript into her bag somewhat helplessly:
"What a pity, Boss. I'm really too busy today and don't have time to eat the food you cooked. Also, thank you for the information you provided."
"Goodbye, and have a nice trip."
Chen Qi waved and said goodbye to the other party.
Before leaving, Perru clenched her fists and encouraged:
"By the way, boss, you have to work harder to make money!
Your restaurant is too shabby and too small. If possible, it would be better to have a cabinet full of fine wines and a mahogany table. Even better, there would be a musician playing music to add some artistic atmosphere.
Moreover, it would be even better if some extraordinary ingredients could be added.
I hope you can become a five-star chef soon!"
Pellew had always wanted to invite her friends over for dinner, but alas, the houseboat was too small.
If the decoration of this boat could be better, it would be perfect.
“…”
It's easy to say... Chen Qi clapped his hands and glanced at his little houseboat.
If Old Bailey hadn't been in a hurry to sell the boat, he wouldn't even have it now.
If you want to install a large wine cabinet and ensure the speed of the ship at the same time, it is impossible to do it without 10 million shells.
Moreover, a five-star chef needs to pass the assessment of the Chefs Union, which is also a very difficult task.
After Pellegrini left, Chen Qi sat on the boat and began to make simple plans for the next itinerary.
Monster Night is the night after tomorrow.
Tomorrow, he would have time to go to the market in Moonstone City and sell what he got from the hunting grounds.
Then the rest of the time is used to practice breathing techniques, body building techniques, and training deep sea water elves.
…
…
Two days passed in a flash.
At the port of Moonstone City, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the sparkling sea.
Chen Qi sat on the small houseboat and counted his money.
These past few days, his life was very normal, and apart from the occasional temptations from members of the Black Rabbit Gang, he had not encountered any trouble.
He spent some time selling the spices he got from the cracks, as well as the small mechanical armor of the Black Rabbit Gang.
The Devil Pepper was sold for 100,000 shells, and the Black Rabbit Gang's small steam armor was sold for 270,000 shells because its neural connection system was damaged.
Adding in the money from selling other things and some other expenses, he now has a total of 400,000 shell coins.
For a person who has just started out at sea, 400,000 shells is already a considerable sum of money.
For non-extraordinary people, as long as they do not go to places of entertainment and do not have families to support, 400,000 will be enough for a long time.
But for extraordinary people, this money is still too little.
Chen Qi counted the money and carefully put it into the backpack card.
Outside the boathouse, the sailors' heroic voices were heard.
"We are ready to go to sea. Tell the sailors to get ready!"
"Also, quickly find someone to pay respects to the five distinguished second-level hunters. The power of artillery is limited. If we don't want to be attacked by sea beasts, we still have to rely on them."
"This operation is extremely dangerous. Fishing boats that have paid the fee should be reminded not to lose the boat."
"Bless, bless, may the goddess bless you."
The flames of the day are gradually dying out, and darkness is about to cover the sea.
Chen Qi opened the boat window and looked out.
At this moment, next to his small houseboat, there were five large fishing boats equipped with cannons, powerful steam engines, and large trawl nets.
and ten medium-sized vessels.
In addition, there are more than twenty personal ships like his.
“There are so many people…”
Chen Qi sighed.
When the rip tide comes, the number of people going out to sea in Maro Town decreases significantly.
But Moonstone City shows no signs of decline at all!
It is very dangerous for a small boat to go out to sea at night.
However, for many fishermen with limited savings, not going out to sea means not being able to afford food, and the entire family will suffer.
“Life is not easy.”
Chen Qi packed up and came out of the boathouse. He leaned against the wall of the boathouse, feeling the sea breeze and listening to the noisy voices of people.
Most of the fishermen on the small boat lowered their heads, and it was obvious that they were full of fear about going out to sea.
On the large ship next to him, the captain and first mate's voices were particularly loud.
"There are so many people going out to sea today. Why are there so many small boats? This is a night with rift tides! They are really not afraid of death!"
"Are you afraid of death? That's a moonlight fish. One moonlight fish is worth ten fresh big fish! You won't be able to support your wife and children.
Don't you think about how much money it would cost to go to a super school and develop super talents? "
As they spoke, the two people on the boat lowered their heads and glanced at Chen Qi.
Among them, the rough-looking first mate saw the flag on Chenqi's ship and said loudly:
“Young man, you are a chef, right? I don’t think your little boat will be able to catch even one moonfish and will be lost in the sea!
80,000 cowrie shells! Follow our ship, our hunters will protect you! They are all registered!"
"No, I don't have any money!"
Chen Qi refused loudly.
His target was the group of sea beasts, and he had no interest in following the big ship and picking up their leftovers.
The first mate smiled proudly:
"No money... forget it, but I have to remind you that the ships around you are gang ships, they are not like us who abide by the law."
Chen Qi looked sideways and saw a thin man in the boathouse of a small boat staring at him closely with no concealment of his malice.
The opponent's spiritual power field is not weak, it is at the second level.
He is a cadre of the Black Rabbit Gang.
"I've been watching for so many days, and finally someone with some skills has come along..."
Chen Qi didn't worry too much. He walked straight into the boathouse, lit the boat lights and started the engine.
With the Deep Sea Elves, he can even take down some large ships with weak defenses when fighting at sea.
If the other party really dares to attack us, we will make sure they never return!
In the sky, it was as if a huge hand suddenly extinguished the fire. The flames of the day were completely extinguished, and the whole world fell into darkness.
Night has come.
Boom!
The lighthouse lit up and the ships began to start their boats and light their lights.
"Go to sea!"
The sailors on the big ship shouted!
As the large ship in front set sail, a bunch of small boats lit their lights and followed closely behind, like lanterns floating on the sea, heading towards the dark sea.
