First Player

"Give me a medium-sized boat." He approached the priest and offered to buy a boat. Because of the worship of gods, the ships of the maritime city were in the hands of the church.

"Why do you want a boat? Just take it easy, we don't have money..." Yueyue grabbed his sleeve. Medium-sized boats are not something that ordinary people can buy.

But she saw Su Mingan take out a large bag of coins and easily complete the transaction.

"This is the funds." Su Mingan said: "It is given by the gods. Spend it boldly. You can buy whatever you want. He will pay for it."

Yueyue showed an indescribable expression.

"Then where are we going?" She looked at the sea in the distance, the surface of which looked like endless blue silk.

"Go find...the Siren." Su Mingan put on his hat.

He suddenly smiled, making Yueyue look sideways. She noticed Su Ming'an's happiness, and the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a heartfelt smile.

"Actually, whether it's looking for the legendary sea monster, looking for treasure maps on the sea, or fighting pirates, going to a new country...anywhere. We still have a lot of time."

It seems like things have never been better.

The boy and girl stood on the deck, facing the lights that were lighting up one by one in the distance. The lights swayed one after another, just like their swaying years.

The waves lapped beneath his feet, like a distant call. For a moment, it was unclear whether this scene should be staged in the past or the future.

He didn't know what it meant to collect "goodness", but since everyone emphasized "vacation", let's treat it as a long vacation.

do what you want to do.

Do what a nineteen-year-old young man really wants to do.

No logic, no reason, no task required.

Be "Su Mingan" rather than "the number one player".

"Perhaps, the world knows that it owes you a lot. It owes you the happy life you should have, and it also owes you the long years. So, now it wants to repay you. Give you all the happiness you lack. ." Yueyue pulled his sleeve.

Su Ming'an stared at the lights of thousands of families getting farther and farther away, and then looked toward the depths of the distant sea.

It was a beautiful scene, but he had inappropriate thoughts.

He thought of the deal he made with the organizer and made himself the price. That was a very likely future. If the world game was going to end soon, then he really... didn't have much time left. His time may end in this year, so... there will be such a generous compensation for the thousand-year dream, like hospice care.

"I have heard a saying before that we can live every day as if it were our last, and then we can enjoy every minute and every second of happiness." Su Mingan said: "Maybe, I am..."

Her index finger touched his lips.

The girl's eyes drooped and her eyebrows were flat: "There is no such thing, don't think so."

Su Mingan was stunned.

He moved his lips slightly, looked at Yueyue's serious expression, and then said: "Okay."

He has a habit of thinking and always thinks of the worst about things. After all, most of the time, things do turn out for the worst. But now, he finally no longer needs this mindset.

He can be the real Su Ming'an.

And now, what Su Mingan wants to do most... is to go to sea, take risks, and enjoy the free wind.

Yueyue straightened her braids and tied them into a ponytail. She was wearing a sailing suit and a double-breasted top decorated with gold thread. She put her right hand on her chest, bowed, and said with a smile to the captain:

"Let us set sail, Captain."

"For you, this is just a long dream, but for me, this is my thousand years of life."

"Let me take you through this long and happy dream."

…

After Su Mingan set sail, he quickly found the lost treasure and even found traces of the legendary sea monster and mermaid.

He brought back rich treasures that shocked the entire kingdom.

In the streets, alleys, river docks, people talk about the deeds of this young captain anytime and anywhere. No one knows where he came from, no one knows what he looks like, only that he has accomplished something that generations of people have not been able to do.

They couldn't help but sigh that this must be a blessing from the gods, allowing the blessing of the ocean to fall on the young captain's head, making him fearless of storms and invincible.

The princess held a banquet and received him in person.

The young captain stood in the center of the banquet hall. He was wearing an exquisite double-breasted coat, a bright red coat made of velvet, a white fluffy shirt on his chest, as white as winter frost, and tight-fitting breeches with a square skirt on his chest. Buckle shoes. And his vice-captain was dressed similarly to him, not wearing a bloated dress, and even his shoes didn't have an inch of high heels.

He walked forward, wearing a feathered hat, and the feathers swayed gracefully as he walked.

"Young captain, thank you for everything you have done. May the gods... bless you." The graceful princess saluted to the sky. This is the daily behavior of the sea people. She prayed to the gods in the sky:

"I am willing to grant you a title and hire you to become a Royal Engineer to prepare for our Sky."

"Sky number?" Su Mingan asked.

"It is a ship flying into the sky. We want to fly to the Holy City and seek the mercy of the gods." The princess said with a smile.

Su Ming'an felt at ease.

...It turns out that as early as tens of thousands of years ago, people had been trying to fly into the sky. However, no matter how powerful the ship technology of the people on the ground is, the gods will avoid the communication between the two worlds and block the possibility of the people on the ground ascending to the sky.

Amid the aroma of wine and flowers, a noble proposed that he want to marry Su Ming'an.

After all, in their view, Su Ming'an's transformation from a commoner to a noble must require marriage. And Yueyue, the vice-captain next to him, is not like his lover, so it is normal to get married.

If they were allowed to see the face under the veil, they would probably kneel down because of what they were thinking at this time... What a blasphemous idea.

…

On the day of his voyage, the streets were crowded with farewell residents.

The bluestone slabs are crowded with colorful cloths, the smell of sea breeze and bacon floats, the sky is as blue as wash, the white clouds are as clean as new, petrels cut through the sky, and the streets are full of lively singing.

The awning boat rowed across the river and headed towards the pier. The young captain stood on the bow of the ship, the feathers on the brim of his hat swaying, as if he had a free heart.

"——Good sailing!" The girls waved the colorful cloths in their hands.

"—Captain! Have a safe journey!" the young man shouted.

"——If we can find the legendary sea monsters, their magic will definitely bring prosperity to the sea market. I really hope that one day..."

"——Captain! Vice-captain! May the gods of the sky bless you, and may the blessings of the angel of the sea protect you!!"

The eager farewells came one after another, making Su Mingan feel a little dazed. He raised his head and looked at the dark or reddish faces. Most of them are enthusiastic aunts and young girls, and there are also many old faces. They sang farewell songs and brought bright flowers, as well as local rice wine and tea.

Among the crowd, Su Mingan saw a familiar figure. The man was sitting on an eaves, with a silent look on his face, holding a wine bottle in his hand.

A girl in her mid-twenties, sitting next to Su Lin, smiled and joked about his drinking capacity. Although Su Lin's expression was very indifferent, she did not show any unfamiliar expression. Apparently, they were already acquaintances.

Su Mingan saw Su Lin, but did not pass by. They were both on vacation in a tacit understanding. He heard that Su Lin was living in other people's homes and did not lead a life as grand as his. Su Lin just walked around the streets on weekdays, or planted flowers and grass, or sat in a roadside teahouse and listened to books, living a qualified life. Retirement life.

At this time, a bottle was thrown at Su Mingan from a girl on the street. She didn't seem to expect that she could hit Su Ming'an's hand. She was stunned for a moment, and then her face was filled with blush.

Su Mingan took a look and saw that it was a bottle of hot tea. It seemed to be a tea that had just emerged in recent years and was produced by the female owner of a cloth shop in the city. It is said that the taste is hard to describe at first, but then it becomes delicious.

He took a sip, causing people to cheer, and the sound was so loud that it almost pierced his eardrums. What followed was more tea bottles and wine bottles, almost afraid that they would not be able to kill him. Yueyue was so frightened that she immediately ran away in the boat.

The awning boat cut through the water.

The water ripples and the white gulls sing.

The fisherman pulls up the fishing net,

Scoop up a boat full of moonlight.

…

This time, dozens of medium-sized ships followed Su Mingan on the voyage.

He experienced the joy of sailing, the unrestrained feeling of facing the sea breeze. He thought that if he had been born by the sea, maybe he would have actually become a captain.

He and Yue Yue went to a distant country to experience the exotic customs. Go to the deepest waters and track down the traces of the Kraken. To learn advanced technologies, navigation, astronomy, pharmacy...

Sailing again and again is like an uninterrupted dream. Su Ming'an didn't have a deep sense of reality. He seemed to be floating in the sea without an anchor point, as if he had truly experienced all this, but it was just like a dream.

He is still the young captain, and the years have not left any dust on him. Only the appearance of Yue Yue around him is changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She has the authority to live and will not die at the end of her life, but she does not deliberately maintain her youthful appearance, but allows her appearance to age.

"In my previous life, I have never lived to middle age or even old age. This time, I want to experience a complete life. I want to see... If nothing happens, I will grow old with my companions until my hair turns white Cang Cang, what kind of situation would such a normal life be like?" Yueyue said.

They went to many places - every country around them, and they remembered what specialties there were, what special snacks there were, and what kind of enthusiastic bosses there were. He bought a singing mechanical box and gave it to Yueyue. She also made local plum blossom cakes with her own hands and gave them to him.

They went to various banquets, dressed in Baroque-style dresses, or danced in just plain clothes. No one refused to give him face. They were navigators known to thousands of miles around. Because of Minghui's experience, she could dance an elegant waltz, but he knew nothing about it and could not learn anything, so she would hold her hand through her white gloves and dance with him.

They can waste a lot of time picking out a trinket without worrying about being interrupted by the task. They would also watch the stars on the deck and take a rest when they were tired. No matter how late they slept, they would not have a knife next to their neck.

The sesame seed pancakes from the morning market are scorching with heat. The wine boiling on the stove is like ripe peach blossoms in spring.

Sea breeze and jewelry, banquet and tea and wine, sunset and bonfire, plum and spring trees.

Brush every peach blossom petal, drink every cup of milk tea, taste every cookie, and kiss every inch of the evening breeze.

The setting sun cares about his eyebrows, but the years cannot withstand the dust.

He faced the sparkling sea with a clean and pure smile.

…

Maybe,

This is Su Ming'an's life...

The happiest time.
