"Thank you for discovering us in time. If you were a little later, I'm afraid Ah Shan might not be able to make it.”The four of them sat in the narrow cabin and chatted while they were resting.
"Did you encounter pirates or a storm?”Avril asked.
"Neither." The man shook his head." This area is still under the surveillance of the navy. It's rare to see pirates. As for the wind and waves, I'm also an old fisherman. I still have the ability to see the sky.”
"Then you are…"
"We've encountered an underwater beast."
Li Yuan was certain, his ears perked up even though he didn't have ears.
"How did we encounter a mutated beast here?”Avril said in surprise.
"Yes, it's precisely because this is an uninhabited area that I came here to fish. However, who would have thought that our ship would be attacked as soon as we arrived here? Sigh, we rented this ship from the trading market. I wonder how much money we'll have to pay.”
"It's good that he's fine. By the way, what level of exotic beast did you encounter?”
"We didn't see what it looked like, but our ship was destroyed by it. I estimate that it was at least an F class.”
"F class! My goodness."
Li Yuan's heart was itching to go crazy. What exactly was F class? Why didn't you make it clear!
"Oh right, if you find an F-grade sea monster, you should be able to get some compensation if you report it to the navy. It will more or less reduce your losses.”
"This is the only way."
You can get a reward for discovering sea monsters? Li Yuan cried out in shock. He didn't know how many other ways to earn money in this damn world!
But then again, the fishing boat used by this family was probably not inferior to his. The sea monster had broken apart in an instant. If he encountered it, he would probably not have a good ending.
This money was probably not easy to earn. It was better to be steady and develop a wave of wretchedness. Only then could he carry the entire game!
"Ma 'am, thank you for saving us this time. Ah Min, Ah Shan, quickly kowtow to our benefactor!”After the man finished speaking, he greeted his two daughters and was about to bow.
Avril hurriedly stopped them." No, no, no. We're just here for a search and rescue mission.”
" Even so, if it weren't for your efficiency, we wouldn't have lasted long. We've been drifting here for two days and two nights. Even if we don't get eaten by the fish, we'll freeze to death or run out of energy…We still have to thank you.”
Avril was a little embarrassed. She could only take a small part of the credit. The captain was the main contributor. However, it was better not to mention the captain in front of strangers.
After resting for about an hour, the man volunteered to sail the boat and let Avril rest. They only returned to the market the next day.
"All three are alive?" Jin Wei looked at the four of them in surprise." How can your little ship be so efficient?”
Avril looked at Jin Wei indignantly." You're not blind. Can't you see for yourself?!”
Jin Wei had indeed seen them. The three of them looked exactly like the portrait. There had been ships that had gone to search for them before, but they had only found some wreckage. They had not found a single person. In the end, the small ship had saved everyone!
"Just how good is luck!" Jin Wei shook his head." Follow me up to get the pearls!" And the three of you, come with me.”
Not long after, Avril returned happily with a small cloth bag in her hand. She jumped off the ship and said in a low voice," Boss, I got it! Three white pearls!"
"Roar!" As soon as Li Yuan spoke, the people around him looked over in surprise. Avril could only imitate his laughter with a rough throat." Roar, roar, roar
There weren't any suitable missions today, so Li Yuan stopped at a corner of the market to see if there were any suitable missions tomorrow. Anyway, he would be able to level up after earning three or four more pearls. He wasn't in a hurry at all.
At night, the people in the market returned to their boats. The lights on the boats gradually went out. Only the big guys from the navy in the distance were brightly lit, covering the market.
Captain, there's no mission today."
"It's okay. There's no hurry."
Anyway, he was on the same boat, and no one was whipping him from behind. What was there to be anxious about?
"If it doesn't work, we'll take on a simple transportation mission.”Li Yuan said.
"En, as long as I can snatch it, I will.”
The two of them were whispering when a group of people hurried over.
"Shh! Captain, someone is coming!" Avril was very alert as she reminded him.
Out of the four people who came, Li Yuan recognized three of them. They were the family they had saved yesterday.
"Ma 'am, thank you for saving my husband and my daughter. Can we have a chat on your ship?”A middle-aged woman looked at Avril excitedly.
"En…then, then you guys can come up.”
Li Yuan was inexplicably raped by another four people.
"These are some seagull eggs.”The woman said as she opened the basket on her arm.
Little White looked excited. It stuck out its tongue and looked at the basket of eggs. Its saliva was about to flow out. It had never eaten anything else besides fish.
"You don't have to be so polite. We're just carrying out a mission. We've already received the pearls, so you don't need to give us anything else.”Avril said.
After a round of politeness, the woman placed the basket on the boat.
"Ma 'am, um, you should take these eggs.”As the woman spoke, she felt like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"What are you trying to say?" Avril asked directly.
The woman gritted her teeth and said," Ma 'am, our previous savings, plus the bounty we received from reporting the sea monster, have all been used to pay compensation and mission rewards. Now, our family has no savings. We can't even afford the deposit for renting a ship. "I can help people do crafts in the market, but my husband and two children can't go out to sea, and they can't steal other people's work, so they will soon be chased out of the market.”
Avril looked at the woman sympathetically." Then what do you plan to do?”
"Ma 'am, I, I want to beg you to take the three of them in.”The woman's eyes were red as she said," Although I can't bear to part with them, I have no choice. When I earn enough money, I'll bring them back. What do you think?”
Avril was a little troubled. This wasn't something she could decide.
"Ma 'am, I know it's difficult for you, but…you just need to provide them with food and water. They are very experienced in going out to sea. If they didn't encounter sea monsters, they definitely wouldn't capsize!”
"My husband can help you sail the boat. This time, he's using the hand propeller. My husband is a man after all. There was also Ah Min and Ah Shan. The two of them could fish, dive, and repair boats. They could do anything.”
"Ma 'am, I'm begging you. My two daughters are still young. I'm worried about the men on the other ships. My husband has leg problems. You're the safest. I promise you that you can rest assured about my husband's character.”
The man finally said," Ma 'am, you are the savior of our family. I swear to the Sea God that I will not harm a single strand of your hair. If anyone hurts you, I will protect you with my life!”
"I only hope that you can take us in. If we're chased away, we won't even have a ship.”
Avril sympathized with them, but…she secretly knocked on the side of the boat.
Li Yuan had been hesitating. Should he accept these three people?
