Zhang Cheng: "To put it simply, China is an old and young country, and he is good at learning and thinking. He is said to be ancient because he has a long history, and each generation of his rulers has tried to find a way to perpetuate the country from the reasons for the demise of the previous rulers.

A long time ago, China was caught in an era of wars between princes, and the frequent wars between princes brought great suffering to the people. Therefore, every generation of rulers since the Qin Dynasty has taken it as their responsibility to unify the world.

He is said to be young because it has been less than seventy years since the founding of this dynasty, but they are already willing to open their eyes to see the world outside, which is better than being arrogant behind closed doors before. They observe and learn from the failures of countries that have suffered from turmoil and division, and then try to avoid such a path. ”

Bai Nenmei's sixth sister asked anxiously: "Is the Great Wall fun?" Is it really left over thousands of years ago? ”

Zhang Cheng: "To be honest, it's not fun. When we go there on holidays, it's full of people, and the Great Wall we see now was restored decades ago in modern times - the modern restoration was that the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty had been destroyed in the war, in fact, all dynasties and generations of China have been repairing the Great Wall. ”

Bai Nenmei's sixth sister was slightly disappointed: "In this way, it's better to play brave chess." You and your sister can play together, too. ”

After receiving the invitation and sitting down on the carpet with Bai Nenmei, Zhang Cheng found out at this time that the chessboard of the brave chess in the living room was really not small, two circles larger than the square table in the ordinary household, and it was rectangular.

The chessboard, chess pieces, dice, cards, etc., are made of obsidian. And judging from the workmanship of the chessboard, although exquisite, it does not look like modern craftsmanship.

The sixth sister of Bai Nenmei watched Zhang Cheng staring at the chessboard. He explained, "This is a thrift store that is said to have been left by the Mayans." But don't worry about not being able to read it, it is all marked in English, and our whole family likes to play this, but unfortunately Dad is often not at home. ”

Bai Nenmei's mother: "My husband is a naval officer, and he always works at sea and in the army for a few months every year. ”

This Zhang Cheng understands that the navy sometimes has a holiday for a few months (the ship also needs to be repaired, maintained and upgraded), and sometimes it is not uncommon to encounter wars or exercises, etc., and it may not be uncommon to encounter a few years without a holiday.

Think again, though. U.S. Navy. Navy officers, Navy officers' club, who knows what this does with so many women in his family?

Before the brave chess restarted, Bai Nenmei first explained the rules to Zhang Cheng, but in fact, there were not many rules. The first round of craps is the choice of profession. Then form an adventure party afterward. Everyone teams up to complete the mission. Most of the cards are Caribbean colonial missions. Including colonization, business, privateering, exploration, and treasure hunting.

It's no wonder that Bai Nenmei's eldest sister majored in history in college, and it seems that she is really affected by the family environment.

In Bai Nenmei's explanation, Zhang Cheng pointed to an empty groove in the center of the chessboard and asked, "What is empty here?" ”

Bai Nenmei: "You also know the way." It was bought back from thrift stores, so it is likely that the ornaments in some places were high-value gold and silver jewelry, which had been scavenged and sold. ”

Zhang Cheng analyzed it in his mind, this groove seemed to fit a mysterious item on his body very highly, and after thinking for a while, Zhang Cheng took out the golden Quetzalcoatl statue and put it into the groove, and the golden statue of Quetzalcoatl was embedded in the obsidian chessboard and shone like coming to life.

When Bai Nenmei's family saw it, they couldn't help but say, "Wow, it's so beautiful." ”

Bai Nenmei asked, "Where did you buy this?" It's beautiful. ”

Zhang Cheng: "Thrift store." ”

Bai Nenmei: "Maybe this was removed from the chessboard and sold." ”

"Well, perhaps." Zhang Cheng looked over again with angry eyes, after the chessboard was embedded in the golden Quetzalcoatl statue, the entire chessboard had formed some kind of mysterious formation, Zhang Cheng didn't know if it was right to do this, but remembering that the biggest credit for his quick achievement of the real person was the golden idol of the Quetzalcoatl, just believe him again.

Everyone began to roll the dice to choose a profession, the first one was Bai Nenmei's mother, and the chosen profession was a captain, equipped with a dhow.

Then there is the eldest sister of Bai Nenmei, who is a dancer and equipped with an iron rod...... This class can be used to boost morale by dancing on a voyage and to get some money by dancing in the city's taverns, which is important for the team while not fighting.

However, the eldest sister Bai Nenmei is not very happy with the profession she has chosen, and she is about to become a prostitute.

The profession chosen by the second sister Bai Nenmei is a musketeer, and the equipment is a long-barreled revolver musket.

Bai Nenmei's chosen profession is a helmsman, and her equipment is a sextant.

Bai Nenmei's fourth sister chose the profession of a wingman, and her equipment was a telescope.

The profession chosen by Bai Nenmei's fifth sister is a swordsman, and her equipment is half-body armor and a long sword.

Bai Nenmei's chosen profession is a chef, and her equipment is a short knife. The sixth sister is very satisfied with this profession.

Zhang Cheng's chosen profession is an axeman, and his equipment is an axe. Similar to the class of the Miscellaneous Soldier.

After everyone got the career cards and all the occupations were selected, Bai Nenmei's mother flicked the dice again, and the first task appeared: to change a big ship with at least three masts to recruit troops and collect at least 50,000 pesos as funds, and the task time limit was one hundred.

Bai Nenmei's mother had just finished reading this task, and everyone was in a trance in front of them, and when they opened their eyes and saw again, the eight people were already on a spinnaker, and the clothes on their bodies were all in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Zhang Cheng had an extra axe in his hand, and he was wearing a vest and shorts and was barefoot.

Bai Nenmei's mother wore a more formal and a lot of classical suits with silver buttons. The white and beautiful eldest sister simply wore her belly button naked, only a small white vest and white triangle shorts blocking her chest, leaning on a thin iron rod and being at a loss.

Bai Nenmei steered near the bow of the ship with a sextant, and on the lookout on the mast was the fourth sister of Bai Nenmei holding a telescope. The others and Zhang Cheng were on deck.

In addition to the eight of them, there were nine sailors on board the dhow, Indians, Blacks, Bosnians, and Latinos. It looks like the Caribbean during the Age of Discovery.

Bai Nenmei's fourth sister climbed down the rope ladder, everyone gathered near the rudder, and Bai Nenmei's mother spoke: "It seems that we have encountered some terrible supernatural event. ”

Bai Nenmei, who is at the helm, is so heartless that he is: "The big deal is that you have to complete the task to come out when you encounter a game similar to the brave." Didn't we always hope for this to happen? Now we should be happy. Everyone shouts to me, hooray, hooray. ”

Seeing that no one responded, Bai Nenmei said to the eldest sister carrying the thin iron rod: "Hey, little girl, do a belly dance for us." ”

The fourth sister of Bai Nenmei pointed to the top of the mainsail and said, "Is that the time we have left?" ”

Everyone followed the fingers of the fourth sister and looked over, only to see two huge Arabic numerals on the mainsail: 99.

Second Sister Bai Nenmei: "Maybe, I don't know if the road is calculated by the hour or by the day, a three-masted ship and 50,000 silver pesos." What happens if I can't complete the task? Obliteration? Or stay here for the rest of your life? It just so happens that I don't want to go to school anymore. But life without appliances and the internet is boring. ”

Bai Nenmei's mother: "It's not clear, but maybe there will be a punishment." So we have to do our best to complete the task, I just asked a sailor, the ship is now going to the port of Santo Domingo. There are less than three days to go, and I think that's at least on a daily basis. If it's weekly, we have more time.

Now, let's do our part, Bruce Zhang, you and the eldest sister and the sixth sister go to check the cargo in the cabin, and I will go to the captain's room to see if there is anything else to find. ”

Zhang Cheng and Bai Nenmei's eldest sister and sixth sister found five barrels of gunpowder, two and a half barrels of rum, more than a dozen barrels of hard bread and jerky, a large amount of hemp rope, a small amount of fruits and vegetables, a large amount of wood, some iron nails and iron products in the cargo hold of the ship.

According to the inquiries of the sailors found by Zhang Cheng, the hemp rope, gunpowder, timber, and iron products were to be transported to the port of Santo Domingo for sale, and the purchase price of these goods was about 1,500 silver pesos, and after being sold at the port of Santo Domingo, there was a profit of 500 or 600 silver pesos. As for the ship's sailors, the crew was hired on a temporary basis, one riyale (eight silver pesos) per week.

The discovery of Bai Nenmei's mother and others in the captain's room was mixed, and in the captain's room they found cash worth 1,500 silver pesos. However, an IOU was also found for the repayment of three thousand silver pesos after seven weeks, which could be repaid at a bank in any port in the Caribbean.

In other words, if you don't want to pay the bill, although the ship has prepared the start-up capital, it has to be repaid. Slightly stronger than self-made. (To be continued......)
