Let’s talk about the corresponding relationship between star rating and “Navigation” skill value. 【Read full text】

This sequence is like this, 7 star ships (10, 6 star ships (30, 5 star ships (50), 4 star ships (65, 3 star ships (80), 2 star ships (90, 1 star ship (100.

Serving as the captain of an offshore sailboat like the Tanta sailboat series with a load capacity of 300 cwt (less than 15 tons) only requires 10 sailing skills. Lu Yuan just used his feet to drive the "Garand" out of the small bay and improve The numerical value meets the requirements! It is very relaxing, entertaining and educational.

And if you want to serve as the captain of the newly built British battleship with three artillery decks and 102 cannons, the navigation value you need is the full value of 100 points! Lu Yuan used his own real experience to prove this kind of thing - some things just need to be thought about!

*******

[You navigate the ship skillfully and gain +1 "Navigation". "Navigation" has been increased to 30, and you can already serve as the captain of a 6-star ship. 】

"Ah~ah~ah~!" Hearing the prompt tone, Lu Yuan shouted with relief! Then, like an environmentalist, he stripped naked, ran naked across the hull, and jumped up from the bow! He grabbed a cable in the air and fell into the sea with a "plop". In the water, Lu Yuan closed his eyes tiredly and let the random boats drag him along! He sank his entire body into the sea, letting go of the emotions he had accumulated over a period of time. Let it out to your heart’s content!

So tired! It’s so hard!

Twelve days! He piloted the Garand alone. I practiced on the sea day and night for twelve days! He remembered that he only used his feet to sail the boat. As soon as he turned out of the bay, the "sailing" value increased to 10, and the Lord God reminded him that he could already have it. And already owns a seven-star ship! How proud he was at that time!

I felt dizzy for a moment. Let him simply draw an S-shaped curve between Santo Domingo and Havana on the island of Cuba! Just drive past it! Practice your "navigation" skills! Then change to a bigger boat! That's what he thought! The result... was simply a disaster.

The only gain. It was probably because he finally obtained the accurate skill improvement formula through his own personal experience. There is no need to elaborate on this formula, it can be summed up in one sentence. "When faced with this situation, can you do the right thing?" If you can, increase the value of your skill. After you answer countless of these questions correctly and use them comprehensively, you will be able to sail a sailboat smoothly - not just in this world!

The boat has a simple structure and is easy to operate. It is also known for being small, flexible and easy to use. A port citizen spent several days learning how to sail a small sailboat without any problem. Even if he crossed the reef group, the boat was small and easy to turn around. However, as the star level increases, the ships become larger and larger, and the problems they encounter become more and more complex - from the wind reception of the sails, the draft of the ship's bottom, and the selection of ocean currents to the structure of the ship, the arrangement of the ship's load, and the artillery. The layout, etc., etc.!

When you solve all these problems and become proficient, you will naturally become a navigation expert! The navigation value is also naturally high! High, really high! Lu Yuan had to give a thumbs up to the main god of this world! Isn't this the detection system that I have been pursuing all along?

****************

When it was almost midnight, Lu Yuan drove a small boat and sneakily approached Havana, Spain's most important and largest colonial city in the Caribbean.

After the bad rainy night last night, the weather seemed to have finally cleared up today, and at night there was only the sound of the tide caused by the gentle sea breeze.

When Lu Yuan passed the lighthouse and the fortress, because there were no lights on his boat, this little shadow could not attract the attention of the patrolling soldiers on the fortress. In fact, Lu Yuan found many smugglers driving small boats without lights, busily sailing out of the bay and missing. The night in Havana seems to also have unknown prosperity. But Lu Yuan swore that he didn't want to get involved in this prosperity at all...

Lu Yuan would rather choose a smaller, less complicated port first, make a plan comfortably, configure some alchemy potions, and then happily start his pirate career... If it weren't for the damn "Garand" "If water started to enter last night! The only consequence of the unfortunate rainstorm last night was that the boat finally became overwhelmed and... leaked. Although Lu Yuan tried every means to repair it, the result was that the water hole became bigger and bigger, reaching an uncontrollable level... He had no choice but to find a port to dock first.

In the dark, Lu Yuan drove the boat flexibly among hundreds of ships moored in the port. He finally found a dark place far away from the dock and docked towards the shore.

"Bless the Jade Emperor!" When the boat was stable, he gently jumped onto the shore and let out a sigh of relief. Standing on the ground, I really felt like I was on a boat. My feet felt weak and even my brain's sense of balance became shaky. Lu Yuan casually tied the ship's cable to a wooden stake and staggered towards the port.

I need to find a place right away to take a good nap!

"Hey! You! That gentleman! Stop!" A young voice shouted, "Ha, finally I caught one! Damn smuggler!"

Lu Yuan turned around slowly, taking time to turn around. His appearance has been changed using the "face-changing technique", and he instantly looked like a bearded sailor!

"What's the matter?" He looked at the stunned young man in uniform in front of him and asked a little funny. By the way, he looked around, and sure enough, he was the only one... How dare he come to trouble the smugglers without his companions? Are you tired of living? Smugglers are the same as desperadoes!

"What are you doing?" The young man took a few steps back cautiously and put the thin whistle into his mouth!

"Hey! What are you going to do?!" Lu Yuan spread his hands to show that he had no weapons. He didn't want to make things difficult to deal with now. "Say right now, I need to find a place to take a shower and get some sleep! I'm so fed up with this slimy damn weather in the Caribbean!"

"Sir...you forgot a little thing..." When talking about what he wanted to say, the young man immediately started to beam with excitement. Biting his tongue, he pretended to have an aristocratic accent. He said with a wink and a frivolous look on his face. "You need to pay taxes. You know, the Governor has the right to tax every ship entering and leaving the port, including... Mr. Smuggler."

"Oh... I'm sorry. I have no money!" Lu Yuan simply patted his pockets. There was not a sound of a coin hitting. "I'm clean from head to toe, and I don't have a peso or a copper!"

"Ugh, no! God. You can't do this to me!" The young man shouted God's name excitedly, pulling off the musket he was carrying and gesticulating greatly at Lu Yuan! "I've been here for five nights! Five whole nights! Do you understand? You have to endure the ridicule of an entire squadron! You damn smuggler! Even if you have no money, what about your goods?! The goods can also be Tax deduction!”

"Sorry," Lu Yuan spread his hands sincerely.

"I'm so sorry," he said frustratedly, holding the gun.

"I met a monster on the sea! It was so huge! When its dragon-like wings spread out, it completely covered my boat!" Lu Yuan described the shape of the two-legged flying dragon vividly. ! Exciting!

"Then what?" the tax collector asked nervously...

"Then? Then it broke my foremast, tore off my sail, and kicked all my cargo into the sea! Now..." Lu Yuan clapped his hands and spread them out again, "I am a pauper. I Broke, that’s all.”

"Okay, this is a good story. I can tell it to my mother. It sounds really legendary! Unfortunately, I don't believe it at all! I can see that you are unlucky, but I am even more..." The young man was frustrated. He shook his flintlock spear, paused, and continued, "Better...please go to the prison to stay for a while, Mr. Smuggler. I have been squatting here for five days, and you can't let me get nothing. Then You can write a letter to find someone to redeem you, and I can help you deliver it, if it is not too troublesome. If no one comes to redeem you, you may not be able to keep your boat. You know, the parking fee in Havana is also nearby The most expensive! That little boat of yours...it's best not to drag it for more than five days."

"Then what are you waiting for?" In the blink of an eye of the young man, Lu Yuan had already run away from his gun and was holding his shoulders. The young tax collector was immediately startled and was about to blow the whistle, but Lu Yuan stopped his struggle. "Listen to me! Listen to me young man! I mean no harm! Look..." He gestured to the young man with a sad face, "My wife ran away with a new gay guy, and no one will come to ransom me again. , so..." He pointed at the tanta sailing ship "Garand" and whispered into the tax collector's ear, "Give me a gold coin! It's yours!"

The young tax collector was confused at first, then shocked, then delighted, and finally determined, "A silver peso! You unlucky guy!"

"Oh, okay! Jade Emperor! You are such a grande! Let's seal the deal!" After the transaction was completed, Lu Yuan tossed the silver peso he had just obtained and staggered towards the port, but he didn't know Why? He turned around and asked again, "What's your name? Young man."

"Doug!" He replied happily, looking at his own boat intently! At least in this world, trading ships is not that troublesome. As long as both parties agree, the name of the ship's attributes has been changed, but Lu Yuan is too lazy to take pictures of the identification technique.

"Doug? There are so many people named Doug lately." Lu Yuan thought of the tough old guy named Doug Su Dongxx. "Doug what? If it's convenient..."

The young man didn't seem to mind his full name being known, and he said cheerfully, "Doug Hidden! The best stormtrooper captain in Havana. Silver Hidden's son!"

"Well..." Lu Yuan looked like he was thinking, then shook his head, "I've never heard of it! Well, goodbye, young man! Doug? You have a good boat now!" He continued to go on. Minato walked, muttering quietly, "If it doesn't sink tomorrow..."

"But Doug? Qihe...Dragon Dog? I feel like I've heard this name somewhere...could it be a historical celebrity?"

The hearty laughter of the young man came from a distance, "No smuggler can escape my eyes, Doug Qihe! Oh, hahaha!"

Lu Yuan suddenly felt cold all over... I must have a cold!

***********

Port of Havana, Spain. It is also the largest port in the entire Caribbean.

It can be simply divided into three parts. Port area, city area and fortress area. A long brick wall surrounds these three and stretches all the way to the sea. But this is only the most rudimentary protection, originally used to prevent Indian attacks. What really works. It’s the Morro Fortress built together with the Great Lighthouse! The fortress was built on a promontory. There are bunkers, forts and moat systems one after another. It forms the famous Morro Fortress, tightly blocking the port of Havana!

Any attempt to attack the Havana port from the sea must first withstand the attack of the fortress artillery group! but. These are just Lu Yuan's superficial impressions of Havana. At night, I can't see the specific appearance of Havana at all, and I'm not in the mood to appreciate it. Now the whole city looks like a dark beast crawling there, and the burning lighthouse is undoubtedly the eye of this demon from hell...

There is no beauty.

Just as he imagined, when Lu Yuan walked into the port area and entered the dark narrow alley, all he encountered were drunken sailors. The surrounding houses were all dark, and the only bright lights were bars and taverns. They hung a lantern under their signboard, which became the only bright place in every alley.

It was already after midnight, and drunken men were lying staggering on the ground in the alley near the pub. They often have nothing but the bottle of wine in their hands. Therefore, even those sleepy-eyed prostitutes standing under the lights of the tavern, waiting for the customers, did not bother to dig into their pockets. These prostitutes are also residents of the neighborhood, and their husbands are usually sailors who go to sea. After my husband went to sea, he did some "side jobs" to supplement the family income, because a man never knows when he will come back when he goes out... and he doesn't know if he will bring money back when he comes back. It is best to rely on yourself.

brothel? Such high-end places can only be found in urban areas. This is a place for humble sailors to have fun...

After wandering around the port area for a while, Lu Yuan took advantage of others not paying attention and quickly ran up to the roof next to the alley, climbed up to the second floor in one breath, and got into the attic. Sure enough, just as he had guessed, there were a large number of sailors living in the port area. Even if they traveled short distances, it would take several days to return from a trip to sea. Lu Yuan planned to find such a sailor's loft and stay there temporarily.

Unfortunately, he expected the beginning, but not the ending.

The hygiene level of the house was beyond his imagination, so he had to jump down from the second floor in embarrassment, and had to keep swatting away the lice on his body!

Helpless, Lu Yuan walked around the busiest alleys nearby, and finally plucked up the courage to walk under the light in front of a restaurant called "Helen's Bar". He didn't open the door and went in. He just nodded to the very beautiful young woman under the lamp and asked shyly, "Can I know you?"

The young woman raised her head from the wrapped scarf and looked at the young man in front of her carefully! Although Lu Yuan looked like a young man when he was dealing with the tax collector, it was because he looked like a middle-aged strong man at that time. Now, he has changed back to his own appearance. In the dark night, an oriental face is not so conspicuous.

And the image of the woman looking up made Lu Yuan instantly feel amazing. With skin as white as milk, brown eyes, blond hair that shines brightly under the lamp, and a strong and small nose, she is actually a peerless beauty! How could she be in a place like this? When the woman saw his look, she laughed openly, which made Lu Yuan, who was "recruiting a prostitute" for the first time, so ashamed that he almost wanted to run away!

"Look at you... are you rich?" The woman's voice was very nice. At least Lu Yuan was in a daze now, looking at beauties under the lamp, everything was fine.

"Me," Lu Yuan smiled sheepishly, "I only have one silver peso... Ah, I'm sorry, you may have misunderstood. I... just want to find a cleaner place to have a good sleep! No. Need...something else. You know, the reason why I look so down and out is because I spent several days at sea...and barely slept."

"Okay!" The woman seemed to be relieved. She packed up her scarf and stood up quickly. She took Lu Yuan's arm and walked out into the darkness. "For one silver peso... I can prepare a bed for you." , make sure it’s clean, for my brother’s use. There’s also tomorrow’s breakfast...but you must promise to leave before noon. Is that okay?”

"No problem, I promise!" Lu Yuan looked back and saw that there was no woman waiting under the light now... "Oh, can I ask? Why... you know, you look like this... Beautiful! Why is it the last one?"

"Come on, since you're looking for me, of course you know why!" The woman said in a low voice, dragging Lu Yuan away even faster.

"I...I really don't know. You know, I just arrived in Havana...if it wasn't for the heavy rain, I might have driven to the Inca Empire."

"Don't mention it!" The woman hit his arm hard. Lu Yuan turned his head in surprise, just in time to see the woman lift her headscarf angrily and look at him with wide eyes, "Look at the color of my eyes! And my ears. Looks like this! Did you see it?!"

Lu Yuan looked at her big eyes that were so pure that they were almost transparent, and her small ear wheels that were displayed in the moonlight. Lu Yuan's abnormal eyesight could clearly see even the thin hair on the ear beads, and he was immediately shocked. "I saw it! Indeed, it is indeed beautiful." Lu Yuan whispered, feeling deeply guilty for the price of one silver peso. How about... give her the gold treasure chest? But can she see that thing?

"I am an illegitimate child! The product of the intercourse between a white man and an Indian! I am bleeding with dirty, inhuman blood! God! Even if those white people are looking for a white sow, they will not come to me! Unless they drink More is possible! Even those same dirty black slaves avoid me... That's why I'm always the last one! Are you satisfied?! Indian beast!"

After the woman yelled angrily, with tears in her eyes, she made a gesture that was close to holding her head.

Apparently, she expected a violent beating to follow.

Lu Yuan had nothing to be angry about. He just grinned and said, "Sorry, I may have misunderstood you. But I am not an Indian!" Lu Yuan stretched out his hands and showed them in front of the woman under the moonlight, "Look at me. Are there any rough marks on my hands? Look at my face and body, are there any tattoos or white-outlined patterns? I come from the far east, does the Ming Dynasty know? The largest country in the world! (The Ming Dynasty had already perished at this time, But Lu Yuan will never mention that I am a Han from Braid Country! The Han people are the greatest nation in the world! There are tens of millions of people with yellow skin in our country."

The woman opened her mouth wide and opened and closed it several times, but she didn't know what to say. At this time, several drunkards came out of the alley. She immediately covered her head with a scarf, quickly wiped away her tears, pulled Lu Yuan and whispered, "Come with me quickly, they are bad people!" (Unfinished) to be continued..)
