"For some time, have you ever felt that the technology of this Hualan Empire...is even less developed than we imagined?"
After Pan Cheng and his party were settled, Xia Kean hung on Xu Shi like a koala and asked thoughtfully.
"So I have to use Jin Lao...ah no, you're right."
Xu Shi nodded, this was a very obvious thing.
Not to mention that when they were arranged to stay, a water heater surprised them for a long time, and the meals they arranged later also amazed them... It was easy to see that it was not a deliberate compliment, but a sincere one. of surprise and envy.
But if they were really still in the middle ages, it would be normal to have such a reaction - a place that has not even experienced the industrial revolution, whether it is technology or quality of life, is not even a bit worse than Night Sin City.
"But this is no reason for us to take it lightly or look down upon others."
He said sternly, "Tianli will not spend so much money to create a meaningless experimental field for no reason... Their technology is relatively backward, and they will most likely make up for it elsewhere. "
"You are becoming more and more fluent in this experimental field..."
Jiang Chengcheng was lying on his bed, teasing while absorbing the energy.
"This is how it is, and it won't change if you don't admit it."
Xu Shi was open-minded, "What's the use of deceiving oneself and others? When the "law of heaven" is trampled under the soles of my feet, it's not me who has the final say on what to call it? "
"...Okay, you're right."
Jiang Chengcheng did not deny this, "And there must be something good about them... Think about it carefully, although their equipment looks crude, they have been dealing with those mutant fish schools for so long, right?"
"I'm especially interested in their ship. It must have been treated in some special way... Some people didn't let me ask just now, huh."
She was really curious, what kind of wood could resist the erosion of sea water?
When faced with such a problem that suited her major, the torment for her was definitely no less than that of leaving her alone and Xu Shizhuoai.
"And, what is the 'Poseidon' that Pan Cheng is talking about?"
Xia Wuyou, who was behind him and squeezing his shoulders, echoed her, "Why don't you let us finish asking... um."
"Why are you so anxious?"
Xu Shi didn't care, "When we get to Yinsong Island, we'll know everything... With the way you acted just now, I don't know if you thought you were going to eat people."
He thought he was already very interested in the world outside the City of Night Sin, but he didn't expect that the girls were no less enthusiastic than him.
"Okay, okay, it's up to you."
Xia Wuyou agreed, but still pinched him hard like a prank, "But I think their people are pretty good... Do I need to be so careful?"
I have to say that Pan Cheng and the others left a good impression on everyone. Whether it was their restraint when facing strong men or their natural simplicity, this kind of human nature was rare in the City of Night Sin.
Although she has now become evil, Xia Mao Mao's nature is still very kind, and she obviously misunderstood the meaning of "taking it lightly" in Xu Shi's words just now.
“It’s essential to be on guard against others.”
Xu Shi reached back and squeezed back, "I don't think they are too bad...but you can't generalize, right? They are like this, but it doesn't mean that the entire Yinsong Island or Hualan Principality is like this."
It sounds like Silver Pine Island is a small place, which may be a factor that limits their layout and thinking. Essentially, they are facing a dark forest. He feels that he cannot take it lightly.
"That's right, dad is right."
Xia Keyan agreed very much, but at the same time he was also a little curious, "Then if that happens... what are you going to do?"
"What would I do...tell you a story?"
Xu Shi thought for a while, then looked at them with interest and said.
"Yeah."
The girls nodded in unison, it was Xu Shi's words, and everyone was willing to listen to his talk.
"Speaking of the Hualan Empire, the people here are fierce and fierce, and everyone has evil intentions."
Xu Shi cleared his throat, took out the tone of a storyteller and whispered, "But I saw Xu Shi pulled his horse forward and threw out a piece of hemp rope."
"hemp rope?"
"The hemp rope swayed in the sky, and then turned into a golden light and went straight towards the old queen. The old queen of the Hualan Empire screamed 'Ku Ye', and was taken back and scalped to make a pair of boots."
"……Ha ha ha ha!"
The girls didn't know where his half-literary remarks came from, but they could understand the core meaning and couldn't help but be amused by his humor.
He said it one by one, and everyone became more accustomed to hearing him talk like this.
That's right. Where was that amiable Xu Shi just now? Cruel and ruthless is who he really is.
Alas, God knows what kind of villain this is.
"After all that, why don't you want to capture that queen?"
Jiang Chengcheng chuckled and said, "I heard that Pan Cheng say this just now... As expected of you, my good husband."
"Pull her down, who knows if the queen is an old woman with wrinkles on her face."
Xu Shi rolled his eyes. Anyway, this word could only remind him of such an image.
"But if she is a beautiful girl with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a long dress and white silk stockings, then we can really consider it."
"Hmph, I knew it."
Xia Wuyou snorted, his true nature was exposed... "Can you please stop being so fussy, you guy?"
The self-introduction just now reminded Xu Shi of more than one, and they also reacted, and before they knew it, there were countless more sisters... It would be a lie to say that they are not jealous, because they have less time to monopolize him.
"The first day you met him?"
Jiang Chengcheng was open-minded, "He won't change it even if you say it."
"Those who know me are clear."
Xu Shi laughed and leaned over to take a bite of her.
"But there is a question I need you to explain clearly."
Jiang Chengcheng wanted to refuse but welcomed him, "Are there any differences between us? If so, who is older and who is younger?"
Xu Shi may have been unintentional when she introduced it, but she was somewhat concerned about this issue.
Looking up, Xia Wuyou also had an expectant look on his face, and was obviously very interested in it.
"Well...it's not up to me to decide who is older and who is younger."
Xu Shi blinked, spread his hands and said helplessly, "This is a matter that you have the final say on, okay?"
Xia Wuyou:?
Jiang Chengcheng:?
The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then they realized that this guy was talking dirty again. The size he said was different from the size they said... The bad man's lustful eyes had revealed everything.
But Xu Shi’s attitude towards this is really like this. Does it have to be divided into different sizes? You women are so troublesome.
Anyway, he doesn't care. If he insists, then he should be ranked by age?
Oh, in this case Sister Su Lin is still number one...
After letting him interfere like this, the girls were too lazy to continue the discussion. One of them pinched his waist, and the matter was considered over.
"Oh my god, you murdered your husband, right?"
Xu Shi said angrily, "If you have nothing else to do, go and rest. I'm exhausted after working all day."
After all, there was a fight just now. How could a weak man like him with no strength be able to endure it? (doge)
"Speaking of which, you performed very well just now."
These words triggered Xia Wuyou's thoughts, "When that swordfish rushed over, your reaction was even faster than mine."
She really wasn't an afterthought at that time. Even if her attention was on controlling Shen Qin, multitasking was not a problem. It was simply Xu Shi's faster speed that made her look a little stretched.
She didn't pay much attention to it just now, but now she thinks about it, isn't it a bit abnormal? Xu Shi is not a combatant, but her reflexes are actually better than her, a field supervisor who has experienced many battles?
"What's the use of having quick reactions? I can't beat you even if I should."
Xu Shi smiled. In fact, he also noticed that this should be a sign that his abilities have improved?
It is true that he is not a combatant, but having so many girls complete the closed loop will definitely bring a lot of feedback. Don't forget, he is now an A+ level "upgraded person".
Moreover, ability improvement has always been specialized in mental strength. When he first entered A-, he could accurately find the position of Lin Yue after hiding. Now he is naturally even stronger than Xia Wuyou. It's not impossible to respond faster.
Especially after the transplantation of Shen He's superpower, this advantage has been further expanded. It can be seen that Xie Qingyan's statement is correct, it was successful, but the power itself is not obvious due to special reasons.
But that's the limit. In terms of overall strength, he couldn't be shy and say that he was better than the combat type... If he didn't have "Yu Jing" in his hand, what would be the use of a swordfish sneak attack? Standing in front of Little Curly Hair and being teased?
"You know that too?"
When the topic came to this point, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help but blame him, "If you know you're not good at fighting, don't do such dangerous things."
"Dad, you don't want to just hide behind others, right?"
Xia Keyan put it bluntly, is it male chauvinism? Every time he just makes suggestions behind the scenes, I'm afraid he himself is unwilling to do so.
Xu Shi sighed, noncommittal.
"...You can't be reckless, right?"
Xia Wuyou sighed, "If you really want to, I can do some special training for you? To strengthen your actual combat ability, so that you can be more confident."
She may not really need Xu Shi to fight side by side with her, but the other party's attitude makes her feel warm.
It's a good thing that her man is willing to stand in front of him to protect her. Well, I like him even more...
"I think so."
Xu Shi nodded. Although it was a bit like making up for the situation, it was not too late. He should have looked for Su Lin a few years ago...
"But that's tomorrow's business. Let's go back and have a good rest first, right?"
"OK."
"So what are you still doing here?"
"What did you say you were doing?"
Jiang Chengcheng smiled slightly, "Some people say in front of others that we are your wives. Since a wife has a right to sleep in a separate room with her husband? When outsiders see it, they still say that our family is not harmonious."
She stepped into the role very quickly.
Xia Wuyou understood. It didn't matter to her even if she slept with Jiang Chengcheng and Xu Shi. Let alone three people, four people had already done it...
She even walked around behind Jiang Chengcheng with ease, rubbed her hands twice in a mischievous manner and said with a smile, "According to some people, you really should be my sister?"
"Then my sister will watch from the side tonight, right?"
Jiang Chengcheng showed no sign of weakness, and the two of them got into a fight.
"...Sooner or later I will have to die on you."
Xu Shi held his forehead helplessly. Did you, Jiang Chengcheng, get over it earlier? You are a nymphomaniac...
Fortunately, he has always understood righteousness and is willing to suffer some hardships that others cannot, so that he can be happy at the same time.
However, just when he was about to die heroically, he suddenly noticed Xia Keyan sitting in the corner, pretending to cover his eyes.
Little Ke'an is a good boy, and he didn't mean to peek.
"...What time is it, that stinky girl is still not sleeping? Who is going to teach her a lesson?"
Xia Xiaomao, who wanted to be a mother, volunteered, picked up her cheap daughter, and threw her out without mercy.
"Xia Wuyou! You are so unscrupulous..."
The old aunt was furious. She was about to speak but realized that her identity was wrong.
So the anger finally turned into crying, "Wow... Mom and Dad bully people..."
…
Early the next morning, Xu Shi just came to the deck feeling refreshed and saw Pan Cheng and others busy cleaning.
"Hey, Brother Pan, what are you doing?"
Xu Shi hurriedly stopped, "There are dedicated people cleaning this place, so I don't have to work for you."
"That's what I say, but we are saved by you and don't tell you. We eat and live on yours and don't do anything. We all feel guilty."
Pan Cheng smiled sheepishly, "We don't dare to move other things. This is the only thing we can do...or do you have something you want us to move? We don't have anything else, and we still have the strength."
"It's really not necessary. I'll have to trouble you when we get to Silver Pine Island."
Xu Shi smiled and waved his hands. The simplicity of these people really made him feel very comfortable.
Pan Cheng was even more moved, where could he find such a good person as Captain Xu...
"Speaking of which, where is Silver Pine Island? Can you still find your way back?"
"sure."
Pan Cheng nodded and took out a compass from his arms, "I want to wait until you get up before I talk to you. We haven't lost our locator. Just follow its instructions."
As he spoke, the compass glowed with light, and within a moment a map was projected, clearly marking a route.
Xu Shi blinked.
Obviously, this is "Rust Mist" technology.
It seems that the situation is indeed similar to what he thought. Even if the technology is not developed and they are under the "rust fog", no matter who they are, they will definitely study it.
"That's great. I immediately informed the cab to change direction."
He nodded calmly.
"Okay, please, Brother Xu."
Pan Cheng nodded, handed him the compass, then turned around and picked up the mop.
"I said you don't need to do such a small thing."
Xu Shi laughed and quickly grabbed him.
"you……"
"How about this? We actually still have a lot of questions to ask you. The deck is very windy and unsafe. Can we come in and have a chat?"
Xu Shi quickly called them in, "Like this compass, and your ship... My eldest wife is so obsessed with this that she didn't even sleep well last night."
"is that so?"
Pan Cheng was startled, "But I don't quite understand these things... Xiaomei is the one in charge of these things on our ship. Ask her about these things?"
While talking, he called someone.
"I'm Xiaomei, hello Captain Xu!"
Only then did I realize that this was actually a woman! Good guy, he didn't pay too much attention when making the arrangements yesterday. He thought Pan Cheng's fleet was all men, these five big and three thick...
But I only wanted to talk to her about engineering and materials issues, and it didn’t matter what she looked like.
Within a moment, Jiang Chengcheng and Xiaomei were having a heated discussion.
Xia Wuyou also found a few people to discuss the "Poseidon" issue that interested him.
As for Xu Shi, he held his good daughter and chatted with Pan Cheng.
"Brother Xu's daughter is really cute, much better than my two little kids."
Looking at Xia Keyan who looked unhappy, Pan Cheng made a face as if coaxing a child, "Why doesn't this child like to smile...Did your father bully you?"
I did hear a child crying last night, right...
The old aunt had a gloomy face, and she could only be happy if she could... But in order to maintain her character, she still forced a smile and twitched her lips.
Xu Shi felt so happy that she wanted to die. Since you have chosen to be my daughter, you have to show your consciousness, old aunt!
"As a child, you can't succeed unless you work hard."
He said perfunctorily, then looked at the gun on the other person's waist and changed the topic, "Speaking of which, conquering that Poseidon is also a big deal, right? Brother Pan, you only brought these weapons?"
The surviving Silver Pine Island crew basically had one or two men, but judging from the structure, they only had matchlocks and flintlocks.
The only thing that attracted him was that the ammunition equipped with these weapons turned out to be "Rust Mist" ammunition after identification. However, the production process was relatively rough. In terms of effectiveness, it might not be as good as the ordinary ammunition produced by Night Sin City.
I heard from Pan Cheng that the boat was originally equipped with artillery, but even if they were added together, it was still not enough to deal with the menacing schools of fish.
"That's not entirely true. For this trip to sea, we specially brought Ashin, who is the only "Chosen One" on the island who can control thunder and lightning. "
Pan Cheng shook his head, "In the beginning, we were able to deal with those fish schools with him. Who knew that such a situation would happen later, and Ashin wouldn't survive... Sigh."
“‘The Chosen One’? "
This word caught Xu Shi's attention.
"Yes, Brother Xu, don't you know?"
Pan Cheng asked, "The blessings of the God Lord are spread all over the earth, and the people who are enlightened by it will gain His power... In fact, I am also the "Chosen One", well, you see. "
As he spoke, his muscles began to swell, and his whole body instantly grew larger. It was obviously due to his great strength or special defense.
"...I know, it's just that our names are different there, so I didn't realize it for a while."
Xu Shi nodded and found an excuse to deal with it.
In the City of Night Sin, there are "upgraded ones", and everyone doesn't believe in God.
But if you really want to say it, Pan Cheng's ability is average. There are similar ones in Night Sin City, isn't Lei Song the one? If I remember correctly, it’s a level below even A-…
"Oh, let me tell you, Brother Xu, your bodyguard is also the "Chosen One" at first glance. "
Lei Song expressed his understanding, recalling Shen Qin's appearance yesterday and couldn't help but admire, "But her ability is much stronger than mine, I'm really envious... Alas, my ability is really useless, I only have a few more strengths. "
"On the other hand, Ashin, since Luo Yu's child, he is the one with the most potential on Yinsong Island. If he is trained well, he will definitely be able to go to the Holy See... It was my lack of consideration that hurt him..."
"Uncle Pan, don't be sad."
Xia Keyan took advantage of the little lolita and comforted him.
Xu Shi's focus is different.
"Who is Luo Yu, brother Pan?"
