[Hunter's Blessing] is different from [Lucky Rabbit's Foot], the effect is relatively unique, and Zhang Heng has never found a suitable place to use it before.

It wasn't until the fourth round of the game that he entered the pirate world and got the Jackdaw to start his hunting journey, and then took the item out again.

This necklace is very suitable for him now, after wearing it, it can improve the chance of encountering prey every time he goes to sea, and it should be able to superimpose with the effect of [Lucky Rabbit's Feet], but this kind of probabilistic props generally show their effects after a period of time, and a single time may not be able to take effect immediately.

In fact, in the last ten days, the Jackdaw has not encountered any prey worthy of attack, and the Spanish merchant ship that Billy mentioned carrying perfume has never appeared.

Compared with the time when they left the port, the morale of the ship has dropped, although the sailors still complete their daily tasks on time, but they are not as active as before, and they have begun to paddle to a certain extent, Billy and others see it, but as long as it is not too excessive and does not say anything, no matter how good the helmsman and captain are, it is impossible for the crew to keep the crew in a state of chicken blood forever, unless it is stimulated by special events such as Kidd's treasure.

In addition, the newly recruited cooks and carpenters also seem to be a little unreliable, the former cooks a monotonous style of meals, which caused the dissatisfaction of the sailors, but fortunately, a batch of dried vegetables and dried fruits prepared by Zhang Heng came in handy, all the pirates knew how rare these things were on the sea, and the lemonade that could be drunk every day suppressed the complaints on the ship.

In addition, there are many problems on the carpenter's side, there is a guy with a beautiful resume and good theoretical knowledge, but after getting on the ship, he can't even do the simplest repair of wooden barrels, which is far from the description he described himself when he applied for the job before.

Zhang Heng has a certain psychological preparation, the newly recruited manpower will definitely have all kinds of problems, in fact, he has the old man on the original Sea Lion as a team is much better than starting from scratch, just two days ago he also dealt with a crew brawl with Billy, because the old crew found out to stop it early, and the two people involved did not use weapons, so it did not cause any bad impact, and in the end it was only fined two weeks of deck cleaning.

The atmosphere on the ship was generally fine, but on the eleventh day Billy knocked on the door to the captain's quarters.

"Looks like we're going to have to change targets." The helmsman is a little helpless, like the situation they are facing at the moment is not uncommon, most of the information about the merchant ships comes from the island's intelligence dealers, and the latter collects information mainly from the ships docked in Nassau, and there will be a certain time difference in the transmission process, in addition, temporary changes in routes or travel plans often happen, getting information does not necessarily mean that you can find prey, in fact, it is the norm not to find it.

Neither merchants nor pirates have fuel-efficient lamps in this area, and many captains will immediately activate backup plans once they find out that their travel plans have been leaked.

"I have another clue about the Duffy, which is a tobacco ship, but tobacco is everywhere in the New World, and it certainly doesn't compare to perfume in terms of price, but the good news is that it's also on this route, so we don't need to adjust the course, just keep chasing." Billy paused, probably because he didn't want Zhang Heng, the captain, to feel too much pressure, and said comfortingly, "We have only been out to sea for ten days, and there is still time, the food and water we carry this time are at least enough for us to sail for a month and a half, and we will definitely be able to return with a full load." ”

However, I don't know if it was because the helmsman had just set up the flag, the Jackdaw still had little harvest in the following week, and the Duffy didn't even see a shadow, but it finally ran into two other merchant ships along the way, and there was basically no fighting, and as soon as the black flag was hoisted on the Jackdaw's side, the other party immediately surrendered.

However, the pirates were not happy for long, these two ships belonged to the kind of oil and water, one boat was pulling potatoes, and the other was copper ore, which was quite a lot, but it could not be sold for much in the colony, and once these things were carried on the ship, the speed would be greatly affected, and no other prey would be caught later.

After deliberation, everyone decided to give up the two shipments, but in this way, the sailors finally began to become agitated, and Billy, as the representative of the sailors, felt it most clearly, and his heart was full of self-reproach.

Those two pieces of news were bought by him from familiar intelligence dealers, and now this route is also recommended by him to Zhang Heng, which finally caused the current situation, the Jackdaw has strong firepower but has never been able to find a valuable target, counting the time it will take to return to them, there is indeed not much time left for them to hunt.

So on the nineteenth day, Billy had to find Zhang Heng again, "This is my mistake, we shouldn't have chosen this unpopular route, you warned me of the risks, but I was carried away by that boat of perfume, if we had chosen those popular routes, maybe we would have made a lot of money by now." ”

"Billy, it's not your fault, this matter was the result of our discussions together, and it was agreed by the entire crew, and the current situation is not your responsibility." Zhang Heng said, "Anyone on that island who gets this kind of news will want to give it a try." ”

"But the problem is that this is our maiden voyage," the helmsman said with a wry smile, "we don't have much room for error right now, I thought it would be safe to have two clues, and there weren't many other pirates around here, but I don't know why I still haven't seen those two ships, so I propose to turn around and try my luck on the popular route, the nearest one from here will only take about five days, and if we're lucky, we'll have about a week to hunt." ”

"But it's also the place where pirate hunters and navies haunt the most," Zhang Heng said, "If you say you're going there when you first leave the port, I definitely don't have an opinion, but with the morale of the ship now, what do you think we have a chance of winning?" ”

Billy was also silent when he heard this, he knew that Zhang Heng was telling the truth, and sighed, "I knew that we should have taken that shipload of copper mines, and we could get a little money for everyone." ”

Zhang Heng shook his head, "That little thing is meaningless, we are a warship, the space in the cargo compartment is small, if we want to grab something, we must grab something valuable, not to mention that this is our first voyage, only a big victory can start our name." ”

Billy is incomprehensible, it stands to reason that the most anxious person these days should be the captain Zhang Heng, because if he can't grab enough loot when he goes to sea for the first time, it often means that the captain is likely to be dismissed after returning to land, but the latter doesn't seem to be very flustered now.

Zhang Heng pointed to a small island on the navigation chart, "According to our course and speed, we should be able to reach here tonight." ”
