Dachun rowed all the way to the open sea and approached the treasure hunting ship, where the atmosphere was a little tense. Whether it was his own plague that scared them or they were ready to take action, Dachun didn't care.

Then he saw the real Virapiku standing at the bow and waving, an NPC with an ordinary appearance in his thirties or forties and a standard captain's appearance.

"Captain is here, let down the rope ladder to welcome you..."

Hmm? Dachun noticed his address and went on board to meet him amid sparse applause: "Captain called me captain?"

Piku took off the hat that symbolized the captain's status: "Now I am the first mate, and you are the captain, so is the captain ready to take his position?"

Uh? He started right away, and the efficiency was so high that Dachun was a little uncomfortable: "Ready."

-System prompt: You have received the "Sea Otter Captain's Hat" and become the captain of the Sea Otter! Your command power +30, and you get the captain skill "risk avoidance".

Risk avoidance: A skill that can only be used after purchasing insurance from an insurance company. At the cost of destroying more than 50% of the durability of the entire ship, it will randomly transfer a short distance to escape the battlefield, and will randomly lose property during the process of avoiding danger.

…

Fuck! ?

Dachun was stunned for a long time. This system prompt means that he has really become a captain, not just practicing for fun! ?

In the game, going to sea is a very important gameplay. The ships that players buy, mortgage or rent through formal channels are equivalent to special equipment and maritime territory, with a complete protection mechanism.

That is, once it is sunk at sea, it will not really sink, but will take some time to "drift" back to the designated port, which is equivalent to the resurrection of the ship. The goods are not protected, and you can spend extra money to buy insurance, and some of the goods will be kept and drifted back.

There is also this captain skill that requires insurance - in a sense, this is the same type as the divine art that the Paladin Physician must pay to renew.

As for the situation that Dachun stole 9 small broken ships from the shipyard the day before yesterday, it did not go through any formal channels, and once it sank, it would most likely sink. As for the boat given by Fafner, if it sinks, it will most likely drift back to the original harbor. The same is true for pirate ships. If they are sunk, they will drift back to the pirate port.

If a player dies on a ship, he will not be resurrected in the city, but in the worship cabin, which is equivalent to a village. The boat does not have a worship cabin. When the player dies, he will return to the city, but he can give the boat a "self-sinking" command, and the boat can also drift back.

In short, if the player becomes the captain of a large ship and can run a cargo safely without buying insurance, this income... Dachun was immediately excited!

At this time, Piku led the way: "Captain, please come to the cockpit!"

The surrounding sailors also greeted: "Hello, Captain!"

Damn!

Dachun felt that he was going to lose himself in the voices of the captain: "They know my situation, right?"

Piku smiled and said: "I know, the captain just eliminated the slime monsters on the island. They admire the captain very much and are very willing to accept your command."

I mean the plague! Forget it, let's not talk about it!

After entering the cockpit, Piku began to teach step by step and give instructions step by step.

In general, the instruction process is similar to the manual left by the Great Evil Spirit, but the Great Evil Spirit is a high-end magic ship that can move by pressing a button. Here, it is to give orders to the seamen in various positions to move.

It must be said that Piku and the entire ship are very cooperative. They don't ask about the island at all, and there is no act of rebellion immediately due to dissatisfaction with the plague. Dachun thinks that he may be too suspicious, but it is more likely that he has taken precautions and completely dispelled the other party's evil thoughts?

Then what is coming finally came!

——System prompt: You are beginning to master the operation of large ships, and your proficiency in advanced level 10 ship driving skills has been improved. You have integrated the cooperation of the entire seafarer team, and the proficiency of advanced level 10 module combinations has been improved...

Finally, you have proficiency. Is it still far from becoming an expert? If you use the Four Seas Soul, you will immediately become an expert... No, this is a secret and cannot be used.

…

At 4 a.m. in the game world, the night fog before dawn is dark and deep, and the lights on the Plague Island are dimly lit.

Dachun has completely understood the command functions of the cockpit, as well as the operation procedures of various gun holds, cargo holds, fish holds, and salvage holds. He has also made great progress in various downwind, headwind, turning, acceleration, and deceleration.

As an engineer, Dachun even felt that there were some impractical design flaws, which may also verify that this complex system is really designed by the intelligent system itself. If the player can modify and optimize it manually, I am afraid that he will have a chance to become a master?

At this time, the observatory began to alarm: "Report to the captain, there are lights of ships in the southeast!"

Piku immediately said: "It is recommended to turn off the lights immediately and implement a curfew!"

Dachun suddenly felt bad: "Turn off the lights on the whole ship!"

The next moment, the whole ship was surrounded by darkness.

Dachun was a little nervous: "What's going on?"

Piku said in a deep voice: "Of course I said it before. The plague island that has been dark for many years will be seen by the passing ships. But merchant ships will not come here. It can only be those idle pirates or treasure ships. If you can't be sure of the hostility of the other party, turning off the lights is the best choice."

If the other party thinks there is no plague, they will forcibly land on the island to fight the evil spirits and steal my ring godhood. What if they see us turn off the lights?

Dachun asked: "If they see us turn off the lights, will they think we want to fight them?"

Piku smiled: "Is the captain going to fight them? This is also an important lesson. Before we are infected and still have fighting ability, we can obey orders at any time. And looking at them from this direction, our lights are different from the ones on the island. The lights have merged into a line, and it is very likely that we will not be spotted, which is conducive to our sneak attack. "

Dachun asked again: "What if the other party is a legal treasure hunter?"

Piku smiled and said: "Then we can be illegal! Raise the pirate flag! The gun bay is in place! The stormtroopers are in place!"

Just a moment ago, the whole ship was solemn and lifeless, but now there are whistles and all kinds of crackling and tinkering all over the ship!

——System prompt: The pirate flag is raised! Sea Otter's hidden ship number! The entire crew switches to pirate red name anonymity mode.

Damn it! The legend is indeed true, these treasure hunting ships turned into pirates when nothing happened! Since none of them are good things, let’s do it!

"Let the war begin!"

Piku began to pass the order: "Sneak attack! Start submersible!"

Just now, the whole ship was whistled, but now it was completely silent. White steam sprayed out from all the holes in the hull. The surrounding night suddenly became thick and sticky, making it difficult to see the lights on the island.

——System prompt: First mate Vera Piku activates the ship's submersible stunt, and our ship enters a silenced and hidden state, and its speed increases.

Hey! ? High-end!

Dachun asked in a low voice: "Is this the skill of my ship?"

Piku also explained in a low voice: "Yes! But it also requires a kind of fog stone powder material, which is also a strategic material for the navies of various cities. It is not easy to obtain by ordinary ships."

I see! Sure enough, there are some things that can only be taught in a battle, and Dachun is even more looking forward to this battle.

Just as the target was getting closer and closer, something suddenly hit the bottom of the boat and let out a sharp howl!

Piku was shocked: "Magic dolphin? We have been discovered!"

The next moment, there were flashes of fire and the roar of cannons from behind. At the same time, the target ship also fired. Tons of cannonballs hit the hull of the ship with a huge earthquake, and the surrounding water surged into the sky!

Dachun was confused: "Is there a boat behind?"

Only then did Piku come back to his senses: "Two ships? It turns out we were the ones who were discovered a long time ago! It is recommended to evacuate immediately!"

Dachun was shocked: "Where to retreat?"

"Of course it's the open sea!"

Damn it! The first naval battle I was looking forward to so much, the result was this?

Dachun was anxious: "What should I do on the island? This is still my place of exile. Doesn't this become an escape again?"

Piku solemnly said: "In fact, you can go ahead and kill the ship in front, and board the ship in a hand-to-hand battle. In this way, even if the cannon fires from behind, their accomplices will be accidentally injured - you are the captain, you make the choice! We cooperate unconditionally!"

You trust me so much! ?

Dachun Buji said: "Then just go forward and fight hard!"

"The captain ordered, charge at full speed!"

The whole ship roared and morale was high!

But the observer immediately noticed something was wrong: "The front ship is also accelerating to keep a distance from our ship——"

Before he finished speaking, another shot exploded and the cockpit glass flew into the air. Piku's quick eyesight and hands immediately blocked Dachun!

Dachun came back to his senses and saw him covered in blood and broken glass!

Dachun was inexplicably moved: "Captain!"

Piku smiled faintly: "I am the first mate! Only this kind of fighting can quickly grow into a powerful captain——"

Having said this, Piku once again commanded resolutely: "Keep accelerating!"

Dachun's heart was touched. Being attacked from both ends was simply not possible! Even if we rush in front of the opponent, our army will be bombed and full of wounded. How can we survive?

You've already reached this point, don't hide your secrets, use the blessing of the Four Seas Soul to catch up immediately! It seems that the Soul of the Sea King Crab can also increase the damage of collision, and it may be able to sink it if it catches up. By the way, it can break through the expert...

Just when Dachun's passion was about to start, he suddenly hesitated - something felt wrong. I was already past the age of passion and sensation. How could I be moved?

So calm down... Is there a possibility that they are playing a trick on me?

After all, is the Great Evil Spirit so powerful that it really only has Vera Piku as its subordinate? Maybe all three? When Plague Island discovered traces of magic gold, they must have immediately mobilized all their men to search!

As for what is the purpose of playing me? Soul of the Four Seas! The big evil spirit may not be interested in being so strong, but he definitely can be interested in these people under his command. My ability to escape from the Sea of ​​Silver was due to the Soul of the Four Seas. As a result, Piku only asked about Mojin and didn't even mention it at all, which shows his suspicion!

I'm not sure at all if I can take back the soul of the Four Seas once I pour it into this high-end ship? After all, there is still an unloading time during recycling. It will definitely take longer to unload such a large ship. What will happen if it suddenly dies midway?

Once you can't take it back, damn it! With his "loyal and brave" performance, there is no way to fall out with him! I can only be led by him...

The more I think about Dachun, the more my scalp becomes numb! But if the suspicion is wrong, it will be hard to accept that we have betrayed our loyalty and missed an opportunity for development and growth!

"...Ellen, what do you think we should do?"

Ailian smiled and said: "Then just jump into the sea and use the sea soul yourself."

Dachun was astonished: "Should I swim in the sea and chase the boat?"

Ailian thought for a while: "Then hang a rope and drag it with the boat!"

Dachun felt that there was something wrong with her smart designation: "What role can it play? Use your fist to hammer the bottom of the opponent's boat?"

Ailian asked back: "Then what role can you play here? You can at least fight that magic dolphin, right? Your sea clan personal guard skills can control the magic dolphin, right? If not, I can also test the effect of the resentment ring."

Fuck, it actually makes sense!

Dachun raised the matter to the tactical level: "Captain Piku, we are obviously invisible with fog, but we can still be hit so accurately. Is it because of the positioning of the magic dolphin?"

Piku was stunned for a moment: "...Yes!"

Dachun said solemnly: "I order you to command the battle with all your strength, and I will go down to deal with the magic dolphin!"

Piku was stunned: "But Captain-"

This surprised little expression is suspicious no matter how you look at it?

Dachun interrupted immediately: "Don't say but, I am the captain, follow the order!"
