Witch, I am really not the ancient god of the deep sea!

…

At night, the stars are shining and the waves are sparkling.

The cabin boat follows the direction of the lighthouse and, together with many adventure boats, heads to the port of the town of Maro.

The old keeper of the lighthouse waved to Chen Qi.

Chen Qi raised his head and thought of the scene when he returned to Maruo Town for the first time.

The dilapidated cabin boat made a creaking sound as it docked at the pier in Marlow Town.

Chen Qi put the Deep Sea Spirit No. 1 on his shoulders and came down from the port of Maro Town.

Now, it is time to return home.

Chen Qi walked on the path of the dock and looked around.

When he came back last time, he hadn't noticed the changes in Maro Town.

With the tide of cracks, Bei Kingdom officials built defense facilities and meteorological towers in Maro Town, and businessmen with a keen sense of smell did not miss this opportunity and began to purchase a large number of shops in Maro Town.

Nowadays, Maro Town is no longer what it used to be. This small island that once only had fishermen and miners working and was despised by countless people is now gathering outstanding adventurers from the interior of the country and even foreign countries.

Chen Qi walked forward, and near the dock, facilities such as the 'Weapon Shop', the 'Moonstone City Hunter Group Association Branch', and the 'Pharmacy Shop' were added.

Businessmen and adventurers chatted freely at the dock.

Chen Qi pricked up his ears.

Two businessmen, one tall and one thin, were talking.

"The ghost ship robbed our merchant ship, we must dispatch the hunter group to take back everything that belongs to us!"

"Take back everything we have. You don't know that when the ghost ship faced the Canary Trading Company's ship, it even sang and circled around the merchant ship."

The ghost ship wreaked havoc, causing the two of them to let out a long sigh.

"Sigh... If this continues, this offshore route will not be safe. Otherwise, we can open up new routes, such as some dangerous sea areas, such as the land of white trees."

"Shut up, do you know the Black Rabbit tragedy that happened in the Land of the White Tree? Wait, there is a shipbuilder from the Steam Hand Company. It is said that he has a way to build a ship that exceeds the speed of the ghost ship."

"Forget it, don't think about these troublesome things. I heard that many famous chefs were invited to the bonfire banquet in Maruo Town today!"

Ghost Ships, New Routes, Shipwrights of the Hand of Steam...

Chen Qi shook his head secretly.

Under the influence of rift tides, the offshore waters are not peaceful either.

I advise you not to go to the land of white trees... Chen Qi didn't care about rest, speeding up and heading to the center of Maro Town, the bonfire party.

In the center of Maro Town, a grand open-air banquet was already held. Judging from the number of tables, it could accommodate more than five hundred people.

In the past, Maruo Town would never have held such a grand banquet.

Chen Qi looked around, looking for Teacher An.

However, before Teacher An, he met the shiny Mayor Maruo first.

Mayor Maro is discussing renting land with a big businessman.

Mayor Maro has spent his entire life thinking about his children, marrying a wife who is two heads taller than him, and working hard to make money, just to be able to create his own family like those nobles.

But he never imagined that the money he had worked hard to earn all his life would not be as good as the benefits brought by the crack tide.

After getting the money, Mayor Marlow plans to find a tall woman with a genetic mutation for his son, Marlow, to improve their family's genes! Let their family take the path of mutants!

This is the fastest and most economical way to create a big family!

Mayor Maruo saw Chen Qi, said goodbye to the big businessman, and came over:

"Long time no see, Qi. I heard that you have become a famous chef! A super chef!"

Chen Qi smiled:

"No, I became popular mainly because of the White Pigeon Times report. My cooking skills are still far from a real master."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few more words. Mayor Maruo was particularly impressed when he heard that Chen Qi was heading to the Sea of ​​Cracks.

Suddenly, Mayor Maro suddenly remembered that he had an unmarried daughter and asked curiously:

"Is that so, Qi, are you interested in settling down in Maro Town?"

Mayor Maro looked expectantly.

Although Chen Qi did not join the academy, in his opinion, his talent was only lower than that of An.

If Chen Qi settles down in Maruo Town, with his current reputation, he will definitely allow Maruo Town to have a famous restaurant again and attract more tourists!

settle down? There is no such thing as stability in this era, wandering is the way to go! Chen Qi shook his head:

"I have no intention of settling down for the time being. By the way, Mayor Maro, do you know any businessmen in the luxury goods business?"

Rather than going to Moonstone City to sell Haiyunduo's Yunduo Hair, it would be a good choice to go directly to Mayor Maro.

Being rejected... Mayor Maro sighed:

"As expected, you and An are both the same type of people, people who can't settle down well...wait, luxury goods business?"

"When I was sailing in the Rift Sea, I was very lucky to get a little bit of sea cloud hair."

"What?"

"Hai Yunduo's hair."

"Hai Yunduo's wool!"

Mayor Maruo looked at Chen Qi suspiciously.

The shower gel made by Haiyunduomao can wash the dark wheat-colored skin into white skin that can be broken by blowing, and it is safe and pollution-free.

That was the precious shower gel that his wife cherished so much, so he knew Hai Yunduo's cloud hair quite well.

This is quite a rare item!

Where did you get the goods from?

Although there are not many capable young people in our Maruo Town, the capable ones are more ruthless than the last... Mayor Maruo thought for a while and said:

"Cloud fur is popular everywhere. I'll try my best to help you find it. However, these merchants are very smart. If they can't provide enough supply, they may lower the price."

Mayor Maro introduced him to information about several businessmen.

Chen Qi writes down this information. After tonight, he can sell all Haiyun Duomao and get at least four million shell coins.

"Kai, Kai..."

At this time, An's voice came from behind him.

"Ahem, someone asked me to drink. I'm going to go drink with An's father and let this tavern owner know what a real drinking king is!"

Mayor Maro coughed twice, immediately took the wine glass, went to other parts of the banquet, and shamelessly looked for An's father.

Chen Qi turned around and saw An.

She tied a side ponytail, with a few strands of hair hanging casually by her ears, adding a bit of smartness and laziness.

Wearing a long white lace skirt, the skirt is dotted with delicate cloud patterns. It is very simple, but exudes a unique charm.

It turns out she has other clothes... Chen Qi sighed.

An is a typical workaholic and volume king. He has no time to dress up carefully. Most of the time, he wears the school's battle mage robe.

In her closet, there are at least ten identical mage robes.

Chen Qi rubbed his hands, preparing to show off his cooking skills;

"Ann, where is the kitchen? I'm going to meet the chef here!"

An didn't answer, but like a curious cat, he scanned Chenqi from top to bottom, from left to right, like a professional doctor.

Then, she raised her finger and made a serious expression:

"Dark circles, bloodshot eyes, disordered spiritual energy, and signs of a cold. And just yesterday, you encountered a ghost disaster and a big storm! Just now, you were actually talking about a deal with Mayor Maro!"

"Not only that, you went to the sea to Moonstone City today and didn't sleep well either!"

well? Chen Qi was a little confused by An's series of speeches.

Then, An raised her head and lowered her tone and said:

"Continuous running around will lead to continuous stress, and too much stress will lead to death, Qi! What you need now is to rest, put down your thinking, and have a good rest!"

Get a good rest... Chen Qi touched his shoulders. Suddenly, a wave of fatigue swept through his body.

After running around continuously, he was indeed a little tired.

However, he only realized it now.

When Chen Qi listened to An's nagging words, he suddenly remembered An's other title - An's mother.

Although Ann's expression often looks like a cold robot, in fact, she is very good at observing others.

Chen Qi asked:

"So, this banquet does not require a chef from the Water Elf Restaurant tonight. You clearly said that a chef is needed for today's banquet."

There was no job as a chef, so An still called him over.

well? She was stuck when settling down. She didn't know how to answer for a moment:

"Today...I found a few chefs temporarily. Qi, you finally came back from the dangerous Kraken Strait, so you should enjoy the delicious food."

An's voice was choppy, like a robot, and he didn't know how to answer.

"..."

Chen Qi looked around. There were delicious dishes on the dining table, and the aroma was fragrant.

Indeed, he now has no shortage of money to be a chef.

Moreover, I have been too busy recently, just like a player, constantly moving forward.

It is also a good choice to take a break occasionally and enjoy delicious food.

Chen Qi stretched his stiff body:

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Teacher An."

At this moment, An turned red inexplicably:

"This is what I should do. I have no other intention...meaning...meaning...um..."

She suddenly realized that she was stuttering a bit, and hurriedly patted her face with her little hands, turning her face red, and explained:

"Ahem, in addition to letting you have a good rest, by the way, we have a well-known shipbuilder at our banquet in Maruo Town tonight!

If you have a chance, you can find that boat builder and customize a boat! "

Shipbuilder? Chen Qi followed An's gaze and looked at the center of the banquet.

There, sitting suddenly was a middle-aged man with a slovenly beard. He was wearing light armor and had a melancholy look on his face.

Chen Qi was slightly startled.

This person is also a member of the Ice Demon Pirates, a person who doesn't like humans.
