Chapter 4 The First Voyage to Sea
"Ha, I'm right to ask me about this!" Anna raised a bright smile and said as she handed the psychedelic rainbow to Tang Xin, "Those two guys said that they found the treasure map of the great pirate wolf's tooth in the lost sea, and they showed off in my tavern for a night that day, and they set off the next day. β
"When was that?"
"Last Monday, it was the day their fishing boat returned, and every time they returned, the two brothers would come to this tavern to sit down, and it was a habit for them."
"In this way, it seems that the boss lady is quite familiar with them! So were the Donji brothers sailors on board, or did they have their own fishing boats? Did they tell you about the rough sea of the treasure? β
"They are sailors on the boat of our village fishing guild, but they have their own boat, and they are driving their own boat when they go to sea this time. As for the location of the treasure, I don't know, but I remember hearing that along the direction of the arrow, there is a lighthouse that glows or something. β
"Uh-oh." Tang Xin buried his head in taking notes, and then posted, "Then do they have any news back?" It's been so many days, and no one is looking for them? β
"It seems that there is no news, no, their wives and children also borrowed a boat to go to sea to find them, and they haven't come back yet, alas, it seems that they are really lucky!" Anna sighed worriedly, "That's it, little sister, can you help find them if you are free, the two Tang Ji brothers are good boys, and I can't see them on the return voyage, so I don't know if I'm not used to it." β
ββThe system prompts, do you accept the task to find the Tang Ji brothers?
Be decisive.
"Boss, I'm willing to look for them, but you see, I don't even have a boat, how can I go to sea, let alone find them in the vast sea......" Tang Xin frowned and said with a depressed face.
"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, I have a small boat here that I used when I was young to go to sea, I will lend it to you first." Anna said and took out a boat key, and then threw a skill book of navigation to Tang Xin, "The boat is locked at the dock XX Bridge XX, go get it yourself." β
"Okay, do you have anything else to explain?" Tang Xin drank the glass of rainbow wine in front of him, and suddenly a buff appeared in the status bar.
Psychedelic Rainbow: Lucky +5 points within 5 hours, the drop rate increases, and the quality of the rewards obtained.
"Well, if you have any news from them, send a message to me, it's a carrier pigeon, write the message and insert it in this little tube, and it will fly back." Anna took another pigeon from the birdcage in the backyard and handed it to Tang Xin.
ββThe system prompts you to get a mission pet carrier pigeon, which will temporarily occupy your pet slot.
So Don Xin carried the key in his hand, carried a carrier pigeon on his shoulder, waved to Anna and ran out of the door.
Tang Xin first went to the dock to check the situation of the boat lent to her by the proprietress .
confirmed that the tattered and almost leaky sailboat was the boat that the proprietress Anna said, Tang Xin was not angry, and she couldn't understand the urine of the NPC in "Analog World" better. I don't have to do other side quests to repair the ship, which is already considered lucky, probably thanks to my reputation and charisma.
It's not uncommon for many NPCs to steal and cheat, not only to deceive players into hard labor, but also to deduct rewards, and deliberately create trouble for players so that players can't complete tasks or something.
When players complained to the game company, the game company replied that SimWorld is a real world, NPCs have unique personalities and backgrounds, and any actions they do are in line with the rules of the game.
After inspecting the small sailboat, Tang Xin went to the Fisheries Chamber of Commerce again.
There are two purposes, one is to continue to collect clues, the first is to find out the direction of the Tang Ji brothers' going to sea, what arrows and lighthouses mean, and because the proprietress Anna mentioned that the Tang Ji brothers are the crew members of the fishery union, one of the other three task strings, there is also a mention of the information of the president of the fishing guild and the lord of the northland, so the fishery chamber of commerce can be said to be a must.
The other is the materials to prepare for the sea, if you think that going to sea in the game is simply to learn the art of sailing, it is a big mistake.
The most important thing is to prepare enough food and fresh water, and also have fresh fruits and vegetables, otherwise you will be given a disease buff every minute.
I also have to get a nautical chart, otherwise I will fly with the wind, and I will go wherever the wind blows, and I don't know what whirlpools and reefs are on the road, and I will sink and die in minutes.
Because of the assistance of up to 150 points of world prestige, Tang Xinshun was welcomed by the staff of the Fisheries Guild. Although the fishing guild in this small village has only 3 active employees, including the president, it has also attracted the attention of players in the past.
"Hey, beauty, why are these NPCs so friendly to you? What's the secret, is it because you can't look at your face? A curly-haired male player of seventeen or eighteen years old asked curiously.
"Well, you're right, it's just looking at the face." Tang Xin replied solemnly.
"Wow, isn't it, beauty, I can't see that you are so humorous." Curly-haired head stared at her round eyes and exclaimed in surprise, probably because she felt that Tang Xin's style of speaking did not match her appearance, "Beauty and a friend, my name is Brother Atu." β
"Okay, my name is Sugar Heart, remember to call me if there is a fight." Tang Xin nodded unrelentingly, and habitually said his opening words.
"Uh, Sugar Heart Meimei, you seem to be a priest, it's useless to call you in a fight, if you are short of milk, can you be called?" Brother Ah Tu was speechless and touched the small curly hair on his head.
It's really a pot that can't be opened, what's wrong with the pastor, can't the pastor pk, with her position and skills, she can still outperform other professions, Tang Xin complained indignantly, and said: "Anyway, there is a pk calling me, and other things don't go back." Then he turned his head and followed the president of the chamber of commerce into the office without looking back.
"Hey, this cutie has such a hot temper, I can't see it......" Brother Ah Tu muttered, watching Tang Xin leave.
"May I ask what is the matter, young adventurer?" The president of the Fisheries Chamber of Commerce, a middle-aged balding man about 40 years old, sat on the sofa and asked with a gentle expression.
"Yes, I would like to ask if you know anything about the Don Ji brothers?"
"Both of them are my crew, and these two brothers are good at sailing, navigating and fishing, but they have not come back since they went to sea a few days ago, and I am afraid that they have been swallowed up by the sea, which is a pity." The president shook his head, a sad expression.
"I heard from the tavernkeeper, Miss Anna, that they were on their way to find the pirate's treasure, and that they were to follow the arrows and lighthouses on their way, do you know what?"
"Our sea area is called the Lost Sea, and the sea is often covered with dense fog, so in order to let the fishermen know the direction, a total of seven lighthouses have been built in various places, and they are distinguished by the light of the rainbow and seven colors of light, and I don't know what the arrows are." The chairman pointed to the chart model in the center of his office.
Tang Xin glanced at the chart, his eyes lit up, and then he said melancholy: "Elder, I was entrusted by the proprietress Anna to find the two Tang Ji brothers, but ...... You see I'm just a little priest, I have neither charts nor supplies, and although Sister Anna borrowed me a boat, I was so scared that I couldn't find them! Can you support Zhang Haitu and give me some supplies? β
"Well, this one, our guild does sell charts and supplementary supplies, but it is stipulated that it must be bought with gold coins, and someone will check it every month." The bald president quickly shook his head.
"President, you see that the Tang Ji brothers are the elite of your guild, and now that they are not here, the operation of the guild must have been affected a lot, and when I find them and come back, what is this small amount of money?" Tang Xin spared no effort to alternately use his cunning and thrifty character.
"But I don't know if I can find it, in case the last person doesn't find it, the loss will be big." The bald president said that he was not so easy to fool.
"Alas, President, look at Sister Anna, she and Brother Tangji are not related to each other, and they both gave a boat! You are a person who does great things, and your subordinates are now uncertain, think about it, if you can set an example, you will not be unaware of the benefits. On the other hand, hey, I'm really afraid that these people are chilling! Tang Xin flickered and flickered.
"This ...... Okay, I'll lend you this chart and help you prepare the supplies for your voyage, but you'll have to give it back to me when you get back, so be careful not to lose it. The bald president finally compromised, and reluctantly took out his own navigation chart from his arms and reluctantly handed it to Tang Xin.
Wow, what an unexpected surprise! Tang Xin happily looked at the nautical map, this was not the simple maps that ordinary players bought in the guild hall, those simple maps only included a small range, and only a few landmark buildings and route coordinates were marked on them.
This chart of the Fishermen's Guild President's private nautical chart includes several nearby sea areas, including more than 30 novice villages and two main cities, as well as a sea area in the open sea.
It's definitely a thing of its own time, and it's very precious.
Tang Xin suddenly thought of a profitable money-making plan, rubbed the charts and sold them slowly, and sold them to players, which would definitely be sold until the 50s and 60s. No, not only that, but she also has to sell separately in multiple places, which is not only targeted, but also can be used for price management, and the technical term is price discrimination.
The Fisheries Guild's itinerary has come to an end.
Tang Xin went to the grocery store to buy the cheapest fishing rods and kitchen utensils, and walked to the dock to prepare for her first voyage.
Tang Xin walked to the dock and was walking towards the place where the boat was parked, when she saw a person standing in front of her, blocking her way.
The trestle bridge of the small village wharf is very narrow, and the main body is only large enough for one person to cross, and this man swaggers in the middle of the road, obviously deliberately.
"Hello sir, please let me go, I want to get on the boat." Tang Xin said slowly, if this was the same as before, two daggers would have been drawn out a long time ago, one on the left and one on the left, no matter what the other party's purpose was, cut it first.
But now look at her thin cloth clothes and small wooden staff shining with white holy light, she doesn't even have an attack skill now, so she can't hit it with a stick.
