Global Games: Comes with a portable store

"Do you think we will encounter another storm?" Su Changxing said to William as if telling a joke.

William shook his head with a look of certainty on his face: "How is it possible? You may not encounter such a storm even if you travel on the sea for a year. Although sailing is dangerous, it is not that dangerous."

Su Changxing nodded thoughtfully: "Is that so? It turns out it's just going to rain."

William immediately felt the raindrops in the sky, caught one with his tongue and tasted it, and found that it was salty. He immediately felt bad: "This water is salty, which means it may have been lifted up from the sea. Is it really true?"

Is it a storm?"

His face was full of doubts, and he felt that he should not be so unlucky as he encountered storms for two consecutive days.

This is not bad luck, it is simply a punishment from heaven.

As soon as I finished speaking, a strong wind blew on the sea, and I could feel the waves on the water getting higher and higher, exactly like the previous storm.

"Sir, what bad thing have you done to make Poseidon so dissatisfied with us!" William said loudly.

Su Changxing said helplessly: "Didn't you say that I was the son of Poseidon before?"

William shouted again: "Sir, what have you done to disgrace your father?"

Su Changxing said calmly: "Get out."

"Okay."

William said he was worried, but there was no trace of worry on his face. He was very confident that even if he encountered a storm as terrible as before, the ship would not be overturned.

The waves were getting bigger and bigger, but the Terror Ghost remained stable. However, a large amount of seawater kept washing over the plywood, and a weak member of the group was almost washed away.

Due to holes in the hull, the cabin was partially submerged, but the water level did not rise any further.

Nobu asked with a look of amazement: "Sir, why is it that there are holes in the ship? Shouldn't it have sunk long ago?"

Su Changxing thought for a while and said with a serious face: "Maybe it's because there are two holes. One side comes in and the other side goes out."

Norbu gave a thumbs up: "Sir, brilliant!

The corners of Ka Semin's mouth twitched, but she didn't say anything more.

However, all the crew members stared at each other and felt their brains were muddled. This seemed to be different from their understanding.

Although the storm was fierce, it came and went quickly, just like a heavy rain in summer.

After a few hours, the sea calmed down, and only the cool moonlight floated on the sea, rippling continuously.

Su Changxing also thought that something was not right about this matter. They seemed to be deliberately targeted. Although this kind of coincidence existed in theory, it was actually impossible.

"The storm this time is bigger than the last time. If we hadn't driven the ship, it would still have been overturned." William said with emotion, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Of course, the cigarette was not his own, but was handed to him by Su Changxing. There were quite a few corpses hidden in his pocket, and there were quite a few cigarettes on these corpses.

Su Changxing blew out a puff of smoke, looked at William, and said meaningfully: "Why do I feel that Poseidon is really targeting us?"

William thought back and said: "Do we have a reason for Poseidon to target us? Or will those gods really pay attention to us?"

"I think it's because of other reasons, maybe related to magic or something. Don't you know magic, sir? Think about whether there is any similar magic."

William is right, how could a being like a god pay attention to ordinary humans like them?

"You think very clearly." Su Changxing praised.

William took a deep breath: "I have a lot of free time at sea, and I also read a little, so I also like to think."

"I feel that if those gods really exist, we can't see them, probably because of this reason."

Su Changxing thought about it and said, "I thought you really believed that the so-called Poseidon would help you."

William showed a sly smile and whispered: "I don't believe it, but others will believe it. People always have to have some faith, especially people like us who have been sailing on the sea for a long time. Without the support of faith, it is easy to collapse."

"But I really like sailing. When I was very young, the world was very different from now. Ordinary people were poorer and their lives were harder."

"My family is also very poor. We make a living by fishing on the beach. The small boats used for fishing will capsize when encountering strong winds and waves. After capsizing, everything will be lost, and people may die.

."

"At that time, I longed to be able to drive such a big boat. At least such a boat would not capsize easily, and fishing would be much easier."

"So when I was young, the first thing I did was to work as a sailor on the sea. Sailors at that time were more dangerous than now. It was a desperate job. Although the pay was not low, at most four or five people out of ten could survive.

indivual."

"I didn't know anything at that time, so I worked on the ship as a handyman, responsible for transporting cargo. The pay was low, but the captain trained us like children."

"At that time, I felt that the captain was very majestic. He was like an emperor on the water. He always spoke the truth."

"I have more and more thoughts. I want to be a captain. I think about it every day, when I sleep, and when I eat."

"Then we encountered pirates and many people died. I was lucky enough to survive. There were not many people left on the ship. The old captain was also seriously injured and died not long after."

"I was very scared at that time. It was the first time I thought death was a terrible thing. I almost gave up being a sailor. But I had no money and didn't want to live a poorer life, so I could only hold back and continue being a sailor."

"Later on, my idea of ​​becoming a captain faded away a lot. I just wanted to save some money and go back to marry a wife and have children. Then somehow, I got into the position of captain."

"And steamships had just appeared at that time, and there were many new things. Young captains like me were popular because we learned things faster, unlike those pedantic old captains."

"Anyway, I went back and forth and made a lot of money. I thought I could leave, but I found that I couldn't leave anymore. I got used to this kind of life."

"With the advent of steamships, navigation has become much safer, so I chose to stay. I was very grateful to the Queen at that time, and many people were grateful, and the empire became prosperous without knowing it."

…

During the long night, William talked a lot with Su Changxing, about what happened to him at sea over the past few years, and about the magical stories he heard from others.

On this ship, he didn't feel sleepy and was always energetic. By the next morning, he was still in high spirits.

Su Changxing watched helplessly as his position changed and advanced, from voyage captain to sea ghost.
