Chapter 194: Sleeping Phase

Zhang Heng handed over the matter of the inner ghost to Karina to deal with, from the Jackdaw's return to Hong Kong until now, he has not closed his eyes, so when the matter is over, he and Anne went back to the place where he lived and made up for sleep after issuing a statement that he would guard the fortress with Honey as agreed.

When I opened my eyes again, it was already dusk.

Zhang Heng glanced at the red-haired girl who was still sleeping next to him, the latter's sleeping posture was extremely dishonest, one foot and one hand were on his body, and saliva was still on his mouth, the most amazing thing was that Anne put her feet on Zhang Heng's chest, but her hands were on Zhang Heng's thighs.

Zhang Heng had no idea how she unconsciously turned herself upside down in the process of falling asleep.

And the red-haired girl's legs couldn't be idle, and Zhang Heng woke up after she kicked her chin.

Zhang Heng took a moment to slowly remove the latter's legs and hands, trying not to wake up Annie, but he was obviously too worried, the red-haired girl's sleep quality has always been very good, even if someone knocks the gong in her ear, she can sleep.

On the other hand, she has a beastly sense of danger.

Even when she is asleep, she can open her eyes as soon as danger approaches.

Zhang Heng didn't know how to explain this phenomenon, he could only attribute this behavior to instinct, Anne had an innate wildness.

What the red-haired girl said to him that night reminded him of the little fox in "The Little Prince".

Because the little fox fell in love with the little prince, he was willing to be domesticated knowing that parting was coming, just because he wanted to remember the color of the little prince's hair when he saw the wheat field.

Zhang Heng picked up his coat from the chair next to him and put it on Anne's body lightly, and then walked downstairs bare-chested, went to the small vegetable garden he had set up to pull some greens, and dug out a few potatoes.

Zhang Heng hadn't eaten this kind of thing before this round of dungeons, as the name suggests, this thing is the fruit of a cactus, native to North and South America, usually grown on the top of a cactus, the skin is covered with barbs, when eating, you need to cut off the tail first, and then cut the epidermis, and pick out the octagonal thorns inside.

What does it taste...... It is a bit sweet and sour, it was a little strange when I first ate it, and it is said that those Indians liked this fruit very much, and they would use it as medicine.

As a result, the little girl, as she had done several times before, ran away before he could get along.

Zhang Heng didn't care, the parents of girls at this age often taught them not to contact strangers.

Zhang Heng took the cactus fruits and vegetables back to the living room together, and instead of eating them raw, he preferred to dig out the pulp, mash them and mix them with honey to drink them.

By the time Anne got up from the bed, Zhang Heng had already prepared dinner and sprinkled salt on the grilled fish.

Life in the 18th century was not as interesting as in later generations, there were no mobile phones, no computers, and even few books, especially after every time you went to sea, you would accumulate a lot of mental stress, and everyone had a way to relieve it.

Like Anne can keep her mood comfortable by fighting, Billy likes to stay with his family, and Zhang Heng also has his own way to regulate his mood, taking care of the small vegetable garden and cooking are his two favorite ways to relax.

The former was a hobby he developed in the first round of dungeons, when he was alone on a desert island, and in addition to the need to survive, he had to constantly find things to do to keep himself refreshed, and pruning and expanding the vegetable garden not only brought him points, but also found satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment in it.

Watching the seeds you have worked so hard to grow and eventually bear fruit is a healing process in itself.

It's the same with cooking.

Unfortunately, the pace of life in modern society is getting faster and faster, and fewer and fewer people are doing things like this that require energy to be put into it and need to calm down to reap happiness.

On the contrary, now that he is a pirate in the Caribbean, he has more time to spend on the trivial tasks of life.

Because this time the game is unprecedentedly long, after the knife and sailing reached lv2, Zhang Heng is already thinking about learning something else, among which language is his first choice, after a few rounds of games, he has fully realized the importance of language, communication is definitely one of the most important skills of human beings, and he suffered a lot of losses from language barriers in the copy of the Mannerheim Line.

Although he now has more than most ordinary people who know two foreign languages (he only knows some words in Finnish), it is obviously not enough because of the uncertainty of each round of dungeons.

At this time, the advantages of teaming up are evident, at least each person can choose to specialize in one foreign language, so that a team of six can master six foreign languages.

And a solo player like Zhang Heng can only rely on himself, but fortunately, he has enough time, Zhang Heng has planned to use the past ten years to learn French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch and Latin, at least to the level of being able to communicate and understand words.

If Zhang Heng remembers correctly, the beginning of the 18th century should be the last glory of Latin, as the official language of the Holy See, it has occupied a mainstream position in European countries since the first century BC, and at that time the status of similar French, Italian and Spanish was probably only equivalent to local dialects.

However, with the decline of the Holy See and the national awakening brought about by the Renaissance, Latin gradually lost its international status, until the Vatican is the only country in the modern world that still uses Latin.

Of course, there are still many differences between the language at this time and later generations, but there should be no problem with basic communication.

…………

Zhang Heng was still waiting for the Black Prince Sam to recommend him to join the council on the island, but he didn't expect to receive a system prompt that the main quest had been completed the next morning.

After using the elimination method to eliminate several suspicious factors, the most likely thing left is that Billy has just completed the recruitment of another batch of personnel, and the crew on the Jackdaw has exceeded seventy people, Zhang Heng did not expect that this so-called criterion for establishing power on the island turned out to be a simple requirement in terms of numbers.

It seems that he had thought about the problem too complicated before, combined with a year's normal game time, this is indeed a more realistic goal, but since he has come to this point, Zhang Heng has no intention of giving up, after all, he still has to stay in this world for almost another ten years, and Zhang Heng's preparations now are all aimed at this.

Whether it's joining parliament and supporting Karina against the Black Merchant Alliance, or choosing to form an alliance with Honig to help Laeri, he is also laying a foundation for himself.
