On the deck of a double-decker passenger ship of about fifteen meters, Ma Shuo stood alone by the railing blowing the wind, looking at the gradually receding pier and sighed.

It's quiet, it's finally quiet.

I took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and after spending nearly 20,000 yuan on charter fees, I finally didn't have to be pointed at by so many people.

He didn't worry about where to leave the monsters, but he couldn't take the car with him at any time. Even if he returns to Bison City to retrieve his locomotive in the future, it is difficult to say whether he will be able to load the Variety Monster at that time.

It should be very appropriate to use the Changeling Monster to assist in combat, but once you encounter a non-combat state like the current one, and you want to run around with him on your back again, today I know how troublesome it is.

Although he had also imagined that if Variant could turn into a locomotive, then all these problems would be easily solved. It's a pity that the guy can only turn into a steel skeleton, and the tires and stuff can only last for five minutes.

It's like the dyed aluminum flowers and plants that we have become when we meet for the first time. What's the use of a bunch of steel shelves?

At this moment, the freckled girl who was in charge of cleaning service on the ship, who was also the captain's daughter, came to the deck, looked at Ma Shuo's back and pursed her lips, before she walked quickly and bowed lightly and said, "Sir, lunch is ready, a total of five people." ”

Ma Shuo just nodded lightly when he heard this: "Okay, I'll go down immediately." ”

"Sir. Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and then she was full of curiosity and doubted: "You, are there any other guests?"

Ma Shuo looked back at the girl and denied: "No, I'm alone, I can't help it if I have a lot of food." ”

After saying that, he chuckled and nodded, and then walked around the girl to the lower deck.

The girl's face was full of shock, looking at Ma Shuo who disappeared step by step on the deck escalator, and her head was full of exclamation: "How much food for five adults?"

The restaurant on a small passenger ship is not very large, with only two tables for six or seven people. Ma Shuo, who was full of food and drink, did not leave, but sat by the round window and looked out in a daze.

The captain, who had handed over control to his wife, also came to the dining room to prepare lunch. But when he heard his daughter's whispered explanation, he also looked at Ma Shuo with a shocked face.

At this moment, on a small road on the shore outside the window, a strange car without wheels suddenly appeared. Ma Shuo suddenly leaned on the window and frowned and muttered, "Huh, why doesn't this car have wheels?"

When the captain heard this, he looked out the window, and immediately smiled and explained, "Oh, that's the Federation's tracked chariot. It seems like it's called, uh, what a walker. ”

"Huh?" Ma Shuo couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked out the window again and whispered in confusion: "How can this kind of chariot without wheels turn around?

As soon as the question was asked, I immediately saw the chariot that was about to enter the river, the left track moving forward and the right track backwards. The whole chariot turned at a ninety-degree angle, and rushed to the front of the passenger ship with one acceleration.

Ma Shuo was stunned and said, "It's amazing!

"Hahaha. The captain tore off a piece of bread and nodded: "This thing can drive up to more than 60 kilometers per hour, which is faster than the speed of ordinary passenger cars." ”

While Ma Shuo nodded in admiration, the captain stuffed the bread into his mouth and continued: "Maybe there is a large number of bandits somewhere, so I am ready to send out the Walker chariot to completely bulldoze that place!"

Ma Shuo didn't seem to hear the captain say anything, just looked at the iron guy that was completely covered in steel and had a three-barreled cannon at each end of the top, and disappeared from sight with smoke and dust.

He frowned slightly and muttered: "Six cannons, the outside is all protected by steel plates, this thing should have no opponent, right?"

"I heard that there are no opponents. The captain couldn't help but smile slightly: "Anyway, as long as the walkers have been dispatched in the past few years, there will be no bandits that cannot be destroyed." It's fast, the firepower is enough, and the range is long enough, and those fixed guns want to hit him?"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but smile coldly and shook his head: "There will only be one result, that is, being beaten into minced bones." ”

The freckled girl who was also eating on the side, heard her father talk about such a disgusting topic during the meal, and couldn't help but look at the captain and complained: "Father, what about eating!"

The captain suddenly smiled awkwardly, and Ma Shuo glanced back at the two: "To drive such a large weight, the power system needed should be very strong. But I've also been in the Maple Leaf Country and even in North Sanke, and I found that they don't have any, why?"

"It's simple. Seeing that the other party was a big benefactor, the captain stopped eating and smiled and replied: "Because they don't have any money, they can't afford to raise a large-scale tracked chariot army." ”

"Only with money can you research good things, and only then will there be those PhDs who are willing to spend energy on research. Without waiting for Ma Shuo to reply, the captain continued with a little pride: "Otherwise, people have worked hard for decades, what are they mastering so many skills for?"

Ma Shuo was slightly stunned when he heard this, and immediately nodded as if he suddenly realized: "Listening to what the captain said, it seems that this is really the truth." ”

But then he frowned and wondered: "But, even if Bei Sanke is concerned, the Snow Fox Chamber of Commerce should be considered rich, right?"

"Of course!" The captain pouted when he heard this: "The second largest giant chamber of commerce in the whole Western Continent, it wants money, money, and people. But do you know that the snow fox can rank so high, how much does Bei Sanke pay?"

"Huh?" Ma Shuo suddenly raised his eyebrows: "Don't say it's the power of the whole country?"

"Not really. The captain immediately shook his head with a smile, then continued after a moment of silence: "For example, ten of the top 100 chambers of commerce in Xizhou are from the Maple Leaf Country, and they are all ranked between a dozen and thirty. ”

Then he immediately smiled mysteriously and asked, "Guess how many of these hundred chambers of commerce there are in Beisanke." ”

Ma Shuo suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and the captain dared to put forward this guess to him, and the number should be less than that of the Maple Leaf Country. So if the rest is all in the Federation, the gap is a little too terrifying.

But since the captain asked, it would be a little bad if he didn't answer. I couldn't help but apologize to An Ruihong in my heart, and then I tentatively said with a slight mockery: "Listening to the meaning of your words, Captain, it won't be the only Snow Fox family, right?"

"Hahaha. Hearing this, the captain immediately laughed three times, shook his head and denied: "Bei Sanke is indeed poor, but he is not so poor. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out two fingers: "Except for the second-ranked Snow Fox, there are two other families dangling in the eighty or ninety, and the rest are all in the Federation." In terms of taxation alone, the whole country of North Sang is only a little higher than Rainbow City!"

Under Ma Shuo's shocked gaze, the captain continued a little carried away: "The Maple Leaf Country is better, but Bei Sanke, who relies on a snow fox to support the façade, is not even a fart in the eyes of our Federation. ”

Then, he couldn't help but smile confidently: "Even if the walkers are sent out in formation, it would be good if they could take out the money for post-maintenance alone!"
