I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain

Woo!

On the railway tracks leading to the capital, a roaring huge steam monster burned a large amount of coal and liquid water, violently blowing out strips of black smoke.

There are more than 20 fully loaded carriages behind the locomotive glowing with metal. The sophisticated steam engine technology makes this steam train the largest and fastest means of transportation on land.

The huge body was covered with rivets and steel plates, and after being strengthened by layers of steel, it was safe and sound in the violent wind.

Although, its speed is only twenty kilometers per hour.

For the first time passengers who took this so-called most advanced and convenient vehicle, they could only watch listlessly as they drove all the way out of Osway at a speed slightly faster than his grandma's walking.

The total distance from Leeds to Göttinghagen is 289 kilometers. According to the current speed, it takes 14 hours of torture.

In the first-class seats in the No. 2 carriage, two children of a family and their parents seemed to be playing some game on the public table, which attracted others to stop.

"To 2."

"To three."

"Sophie, let me say it again, the number 2 is much bigger than 3, even surpassing A, K, Q, J, and second only to Big and Little Wang."

A handsome man in a vest carefully explained the rules of "Fighting the Rich (Evil God)" to a sweet and lovely beautiful lady.

The rules are very simple. Two workers jointly play cards to fight against the rich, and the one who runs out of cards first is the winner.

"There is obviously a problem with your rules. Why does K refer to a king card that is smaller than A and 2? It's really unreasonable." Sophie stared at the cards in her hand stubbornly.

However, the point of contention between the two has always been why 2 is greater than 3. In the eyes of the strict Miss Winster, such a rule is extremely unreasonable.

"Because even in reality, even the king must be smaller than something, such as the parliament or the Lantis Revolution. This is the restrictive effect of A."

Tu Fu explained the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint in a very cryptic way, then he drew a 2 from the deck and pointed at the number again,

"2 is the smallest number in all the cards, and it is also the most ordinary card, but it can suppress K and A in the game.

A reasonable and mature board game should be the same as the ecological chain rules in nature.

There is no absolute apex predator, although the weak and the strong restrict each other, and sometimes even the smallest creatures can eat the biggest in a different way. "

Poker is perhaps the simplest and most complex game in human civilization, and it involves wit, strategy, intuition, and some good luck.

The big king of 54 cards represents the sun, and the small king represents the moon.

The remaining 52 cards each represent 52 weeks of the year, and the four suits are spring, summer, autumn and winter. This design is inextricably linked with astrology, divination, and astronomy and calendar.

This is a game that Tu Fu invented at Leeds Comprehensive College. Because he was bored in the car, he played a few rounds of poker with Sophie and Ethan, who like to argue.

Only after Tu Fu's painstaking explanation did Sophie fully understand the uncomplicated rules, and it was after he finished speaking that Sophie raised her brows high

"I see, why didn't you say that when you pressed my 2 with 3 just now?"

"...You didn't ask just now."

Tu Fu quietly put away the bargaining chip that he had won with his resourcefulness just now, and made a move of never returning it.

A qualified bounty hunter should use the rules reasonably to win when playing cards.

"what?"

All the onlookers, including Sophie and Mrs. Anfeier, were stunned by this guy's shameless remarks. Can this game still be played like this?

"Little husband, it's really you." Aunt An Fei'er despised him in a mocking tone,

As soon as these words came out, Sophie's face turned red and then pale, and she was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Why would there be someone like Tu Fu? Wouldn't this kind of unbranded guy be sapped in the back by people from the academy?

Fortunately, Ethan also thought about it, and came out in time to smooth things over, "Why don't you let this matter go, my husband didn't hide the rules on purpose, Sophie, I'll pay for the money you lost just now."

In this game of killing time, the wobbly wheels rolled in and out of a handsome and wide railway station platform.

Woohoo!

Two consecutive muffled whistles sounded, and the rolling speed of the pitch-black wheels gradually slowed down, which indicated the arrival signal.

After a long 14 hours and a journey of nearly 300 kilometers, a group of passengers from all over the country finally arrived at their destination.

"It's time to stop."

Tu Fu raised the silk hat on his head slightly, and took out several large leather suitcases with exaggerated shapes from under the car seat. He carefully escorted the still angry Sophie to squeeze out from the crowd to the station.

Capital Central Station.

After getting out of the car, I looked up to see a clear sky. Because the whole family had tickets for the night, it happened to usher in the morning when they arrived in Göttinghagen.

A gust of cold air hit, causing Tu Fu to show his face, and had to cover his windbreaker tightly, "The weather in Göttinghagen is really cold enough."

The scale of Guodu Central Steam Railway Station is huge, and a huge glass wall covers the entire station.

The track that the train passed was just above the Riel River. A large number of road policemen in striped uniforms whistled and whistled to maintain law and order, and used gestures to direct the flow of people to move in two directions.

According to the latest national census, the total population of the Baia Kingdom has reached an astonishing 60 million, and the capital Göttinghagen alone has 4.5 million people, accounting for nearly one-twelfth of the population.

Not only the natives of Baia, as one of the most representative international metropolises in the northern continent, Göttinghagen always has a huge number of foreign residents who settle here for various purposes.

When stepping on this flat concrete floor, Tu Fu could only vaguely see the outline of the surrounding area of ​​the metropolis from outside the glass cover covering the station.

The extremely huge airship sailed in and out at high altitude, much larger than the ones seen in Leeds, the large amount of hydrogen contained in the hot air balloon on the top was sound-controlled, and the wind propeller at the stern controlled the direction.

The continuous Gothic spires form the shape of a castle, and the church with a tower structure exudes a sacred appearance, which seems to be a Catholic cathedral.

There are similar steam monsters on the street that go back and forth on the tracks. It seems to be a means of transportation such as intercity trains. In addition to the most common horse-drawn carriages on the road, sometimes you can see private steam cars that are not exquisite in workmanship.

People in different countries and regions dress differently. People in Baia Kingdom generally like to wear a four-piece suit and a certain silk hat.

The people in the Kingdom of Rui En also dress up like this, but they like to lean on crutches and beat the ground vigorously to show their proud identities.

Those guys from Lantis are more flamboyant. The Socabi race admires color in their bones, and likes to wear brighter fluffy clothes, with a funny three-cornered hat on their heads. The heels are too ostentatious on the street.

People from the fashion capital are always so pompous, and like to look at people from other countries with the expression of looking at a turtle.

There are also quite a few races from the plateau of the Southern Continent, many of whom were tricked into signing unequal contracts here to help capitalists work at extremely low prices.

Their skin is more ruddy and rougher, and they have a fierce aura all over their bodies. Compared with other white people in the Northland in Göttinghagen, they look out of place.

These are situations that are rarely seen in Leeds.

After all, there are diplomatic embassies of dozens of countries stationed near the palace in the center of the capital, and it is normal for a large number of foreigners to live here.

The place that is very similar to Leeds is that even near the station, there is a huge factory, and black smoke billows from its vents, which is much more exaggerated than steam trains, and industrial waste is continuously discharged from the vents. Blow to the city.

"What a big factory."

Tu Fu was indeed a little shocked by this scene. Such a heavily polluted large industrial factory area would probably have been forced to rectify in the name of seriously exceeding the PM2.5 index in his era.

"Friend, is this your first time here? Don't be so surprised."

A local citizen noticed his surprised eyes and the spoken language of the North Gulf, and said with a smile, "Actually, there are dozens of factories like this in Göttinghagen, which are much larger than ordinary factories. Because it is an industry specially approved by the government.”

"Does it produce weapons?"

"No, actually I don't know too well, but quite a few people have heard that that special machine can continue to work without obtaining energy."

The man who took the initiative to talk to him also thought it was funny, "If it can be realized by taking things, it is really the lifelong wish of many factory owners. They dream of letting workers work with peace of mind without paying money."

"Thank you for your answer."

Tu Fu has no interest in this kind of research that is destined to be wrong on the scientific road. He did not expect that there are people in this world who are researching this kind of thing.

Tu Fu, who was walking among the crowd, soon noticed a small detail in life.

Compared with the restrained people of other countries, the natives of Gottinghagen here are the most conspicuous no matter where they are placed. They always hold their heads high. This is probably why the Baia Kingdom has become stronger in recent decades, and it also makes The people of this country stood up straight.

"What happened over there?" Sophie looked over curiously. When the Winster family got off the train, they saw many people forming a small circle in front of them, and something happened there.

"Sir, wake up."

"It seems to be heatstroke."

"Is there any doctor or medical staff to help?"

Judging from the words of others, it seemed that a driver who was soliciting business near the station fell to the ground with a bang due to exhaustion, and the enthusiastic citizens immediately looked for someone who could solve the problem.

"I'm a doctor, let me take a look, everyone try to evacuate as much as possible, don't block the air flow."

A man with smooth hair and two mustaches got off the train. He immediately squatted next to the driver with his suitcase in his arms.

After opening, it was a box of medical kits, and after inspection, they immediately started to treat the patients.

At this moment, the anxious situation immediately attracted many people to watch and silently cheer for that person.

The mustache doctor pressed his palms against the unconscious man's chest, and finally got the effect after several consecutive attempts. The unconscious man exhaled.

Taking advantage of the situation, he fed the medicine into the man's mouth again, until the unconscious man slowly opened his eyes after being unconscious for a long time.

"You have some problems with your heart. It may be a genetic disease or something else. It's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. Even if it costs a lot of money, it must be treated in time. It must not be delayed any longer."

The able-bodied mustache doctor did not forget to instruct the coachman on some precautions after he woke up, which did not sound like a minor illness.

"Sir... thank you for saving my life, thank you, thank you very much for your kindness."

After the initial danger, the coachman also realized the crisis of the situation just now, and thanked the doctor repeatedly, his eyes were full of gratitude.

"This is what I should do, you're welcome. Of course, you can also come to my clinic. My address is on the business card."

After the mustache doctor solved the matter, he subconsciously handed over his business card and prepared to get up and leave.

"I will never forget your kindness."

But when the other party took the business card, the coachman who was grateful to Dade saw the name on it, and suddenly his expression changed, "Mr. Mendy... Are you from Lantis?"

"Yes, this is not a problem, I have lived in Göttinghagen for nearly ten years..."

The bearded doctor called "Mendy" seemed ready to explain, but the other party looked at him like a falling meteor, flashing briefly and then dimming quickly.

He coldly pushed away the opponent's hand and returned the business card, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mendy, if I had known that a Lantis person had reached out to me, I would rather no one had saved my life just now .”

"These are your rewards for seeing a doctor. They are all my money, and you must accept them."

As he said that, the coachman took out a handful of odd banknotes from his pocket, paper banknotes of a few kronor and tens of kronor, and stuffed them all at the other party.

"I must address you now as Mister One, because you saved my life, but I will never be grateful to you, and the people of Göttinghagen will never be grateful to the people of Landis.

If it weren't for the fact that I still have a couple of sons and daughters who need me to support me, I can't wait to die right now. "

While the driver was muttering to himself, he covered his face and burst into tears. Some nerve in his head suddenly collapsed, and he was even more excited than he was just now.

"Yes."

"That's how it should be."

"Go to the hospital for an examination. How can the Lantis people be so kind? What he feeds you may be poison."

Most of the onlookers showed a look of praise, and they were used to such things.

After the mustache doctor named Mendy was forced to accept the money, he wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he didn't speak after all. Amid the disgusting eyes and words of many people from Göttinghagen, he finally left in despair.

Tu Fu, who was just watching, was suddenly touched. He raised his head in bewilderment and looked at these Baiya people, citizens of the capital, and Göttinghagen people who were obviously friendly just now, but seemed to have changed in an instant.

There seems to be an inexplicable sense of national pride in them. Even in the impenetrable thick smoke, breathing the air of substandard quality, they still look proud.

Because those industrialized industries are a symbol of wealth, a symbol of a strong country, and it is also a real thing that maintains their pride and allows everyone to stand up straight.

After witnessing this scene, Uncle Ethan, who has been a bystander, said amusedly and angrily:

"Look, this is Göttinghagen."
