Chapter 30: Saving Roundup
Bai Qi thought for a moment and asked, "Round, our ship will soon return to Leoni, if you want, you can leave then, and the sailors who have been plundered on this ship can leave freely." â
Roundup shook his head and said, "No, captain, I don't want to go back to Leoni, I have no relatives there, and if you can, I want you to leave me a place on the ship." â
Bai Qi said: "Of course, if an excellent sailor like you is willing to stay on my ship, of course I can't ask for ......." â
Speaking of this, Bai Qi groaned slightly, and said: "Nonda, if you are willing to stay, be the second mate of this ship, and also, you go and tell the sailors who have been plundered, and when they return to Leoni City, they will all be free." â
Roundup nodded, and was about to say goodbye, but saw Bai Qi take out a strange bottle.
Bai Qi looked at the bottle in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said: "This bottle is something I found in a monument, it has a very magical effect, and it is very good for your body that has been damaged due to excessive luck, and now I give it to you, just hoping to exchange it for a promise from you." â
Roundup looked at the strange bottle curiously and asked, "What promise?" â
Bai Qi said: "Serve me for a year." â
Roundup shrugged and said, "Of course, that's perfectly fine. â
Bai Qi nodded, handed the bottle to Roundup, and said, "Take a sip of the medicinal juice in this bottle every morning and evening." â
Roundup took the bottle, but did not express excitement and gratitude, just nodded and left.
Bai Qi's indifference to Roundup doesn't seem to be surprising.
Watching Roundup leave, Adrian, who had been sitting on the side, asked a little puzzled, "Why?" â
Adrian's question was endless, but Bai Qi knew what she meant, the bottle he had just given Roundup looked exactly the same as the bottle of "High Energy Nutrient Solution".
If the medicine in the bottle is really a high-energy nutrient solution, it is not only not cheap, but also has no benefit to Roundup's body at all, but has great harm.
The high-energy nutrient solution is a method of supplementing high-energy nutrients and accelerating the metabolism of warriors at the same time to achieve the purpose of quickly recovering the power of qi and blood, but the problem of Roundup is that the body cannot be replenished enough due to long-term high-intensity labor, and the foundation is empty.
However, what Bai Qi gave Nondup was not an ordinary high-energy nutrient solution, but a "special high-energy nutrient solution for training". This kind of thing is Bai Qi when he trains in the training space, the space is distributed for free, used to replace three meals a day, this nutrient solution contains extremely high calories and a variety of rich nutrients, but there is no ordinary high-energy nutrient solution to stimulate the potential of the effect, instead of some great vitality drugs.
Roundup's physical condition at this time is similar to Bai Qi's situation in the training space after high-intensity training, and this nutrient solution is just right.
After listening to Bai Qi's explanation, Adrian suddenly smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to be so compassionate, but unfortunately this is just a virtual world, and your sympathy may have been used in the wrong place." â
Bai Qi frowned and said, "Do you think this is just a virtual world?" Do you think these natives we know are just NPCs in the virtual world? No, no, I don't think so, every indigenous person we come into contact with is so alive, flesh and blood, even more human than many space soldiers, I never believe that these people are just a piece of code created by artificial intelligence, if artificial intelligence can create a virtual person that is more like a human than a human, then it is not artificial intelligence, but the creation of the world. â
Speaking of this, Bai Qi paused, and then said in an extremely solemn tone: "I didn't believe in God before, but now, I am sure that there must be gods in this world, and these task worlds, and the people in these task worlds, may exist in a way that we can't understand, and they are by no means electronic virtual things. â
After listening to Bai Qi's words, Barrian, who had been very quiet, suddenly spoke: "I think so too, at first, I also thought that I was kidnapped by a high-tech alien civilization into a virtual world, but when I studied the nature of arcane because of curiosity, I gradually stopped thinking so, because I found that these arcane arts, which should not have been stored in ZĂ i, turned out to be a huge, completely logically self-consistent system, and many basic things can coincide with the laws of physics." I've discovered that arcane is a rigorous and complex science. Artificial intelligence can never create a scientific system out of thin air, only God can. â
Bai Qi and Barrian's words made Adrian ponder involuntarily.
At this time, Bai Qi suddenly changed his words and said, "However, the reason why I gave Roundup this nutrient solution is not entirely because of sympathy. â
"You are not warriors, you can't feel the thick qi and blood hidden in Roundda's body, with the exuberance of qi and blood in his body, as long as there is a correct training method, generating the power of qi and blood is as simple as piercing a membrane, but the qi and blood in his body is like a lit gasoline, although it is vigorous, it has no root, the more it burns, the faster it will be extinguished, and his body is the same, it can't withstand any training at all."
"Maybe with the vigorous qi and blood in his body, it only takes one month of training to be able to produce the power of qi and blood, but maybe it only takes half a month of training to make his body completely collapse, and the thick qi and blood will also decay, if I let it go, after three or five years, his strong body will begin to decay rapidly, and after a year or two of decay, he will be weak like an old man."
"His health is so bad that I'm not even sure if this nutrient solution will save him. However, if the nutrient solution works, with a little training, maybe we can have an extra Chosen Warrior helper, so why not? â
Adrian thought for a moment, nodded slightly, approved Bai Qi's idea, and asked, "But he doesn't seem to be very interested in the nutrient solution you gave him?" â
Bai Qi shrugged his shoulders, "I don't expect to gain his trust right away, a person who can lurk in the water thief's den for three years, his heart is not so easy to open." â
The voyage for the next few days was quite smooth, because the demand for pulp slaves was not so great because of the downstream, Bai Qi transferred all the pulp slaves of the pirate warship, several people who were originally sailors, and sent Rounda and two sailors who were homeless and wanted to stay on the cargo ship to help the busy Lenca.
Although Lenka's skills in operating ships are excellent, the four sailors under him are all half-apprentices, and they were promoted to sailors by Bai Qi, and their skills are very rusty.
A few days later, two ships came to the river near the city of Leony.
White Qi had Adrian and Gundt drive the pirate ship directly to the port of Leoni, while he and Barian stayed on the cargo ship and had Lenka sail the ship downstream of Leoni.
After the two ships separated, Bai Qi seemed to remember something, asked Lenka to put down the dinghy, and ordered Lenka to wait for him in the same place, and rowed the dinghy with Barian in the direction of Leoni City.
Adrian and Gunder drove the pirate warship and slowly approached the port, although the flag of Leoni City was hoisted on the ship, the special style of the pirate warship immediately made the port nervous.
Two warships, one left and one right, sailed towards the pirate warship.
According to the flag from the harbor warship, Gunde slowly stopped the warship, and the two port warships approached the pirate warship left and right, and after the gang, more than twenty Leoni sailors rushed up and controlled several sailors on the deck.
Immediately afterward, the two Chosen Warriors boarded the pirate warship.
At this moment, the door to the captain's room of the pirate warship opened, and a man of medium height and a very handsome face walked out.
Gunder looked back and vaguely recognized Adrian as a man in men's clothes.
As a layman, although Gunder felt that Adrian was very different from women's clothing, he couldn't say where the difference was, only because the other party changed into men's clothing.
But in fact, Adrian has already made a lot of changes to his appearance, and now anyone who sees her will only think that she is very handsome, and will never see that she is a woman dressed as a man, and if someone who was familiar with her before sees her now, it is difficult to associate her with the previous Adrian.
In fact, in order to deceive Gunde's ears and eyes, Adrian has been quietly changing his appearance little by little during this time, so that the current effect will be formed.
For Adrian to change into men's clothes, Gunde and the sailors do not find it strange, in this era, most women belong to the vassals of men, even if there are a few strong women, they can't change this general trend, even if they are strong women, they will inevitably suffer when dealing with men, so women dress up as men, which is the usual practice of most strong women.
Adrian stepped out of the cabin and walked unhurriedly towards the two Chosen Warriors, pulling out his identity token as a citizen of Leoni City from his bosom.
The eldest of the two Chosen Warriors took Adrian's citizenship token, looked at it twice, and asked, "What's the matter with this pirate ship?" â
Adrian said: "Your Excellency, this ship is my trophy, some time ago I took a merchant ship to the west, planning to go to the dwarf city to do business, but I didn't expect to encounter this pirate ship on the way, I and my companions killed the water thief and captured the ship." â
Speaking of this, Adrian pointed to Gunder and Bode, and said, "These two are my companions, and the other sailors are all former oars on this pirate ship, they are all sailors who have been robbed by the pirates, and thanks to them, I can bring this trophy back." â
The older sailor glanced at Adrian and the sailors around him with suspicion, and asked, "Such a well-made warship must belong to a powerful gang of sailors, who are they?" â
Adrian said a little mysteriously: "You will know it when you see it." â
With that, he turned back to Gunder and shouted, "Go and get the heads of the water thieves." â
