Chapter 11: The First Crew Member: Xu Chu

A clean one-hit kill.

Lu Jing, who was standing in front of the corpse and picking up the gold leaf and the treasure map of the living point, immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

There is a reason why he has made a lot of money, and more is the extraordinary ability he has shown in battle.

Those who shouted that they were going to gamble with him before had already lost their minds at this time, after all, gambling on this island meant a one-on-one duel, and a normal person duel with someone with extraordinary abilities without using any weapons, that is, a dung pit with a lantern - looking for death!

However, not being able to gamble does not mean that you can't go up to set almost, and many people who are still self-conscious or have a lively mind start to act immediately after the gambling fight.

Some people wanted to join Lu Jing's team and become his subordinates, and some people wanted to pull Lu Jing into their team and become companions, and even later Lu Jing met a few members of the underground forces behind this supply point and wanted to talk to him.

For these people, Lu Jing naturally can't punch one by one, he really wants to go to sea, and he really needs helpers, and if a person wants to complete an ocean voyage, it's nonsense.

The problem is that Lu Jing has never wanted to be some full of guys, let alone cooperate with those underground forces.

He didn't plan to be on the wanted list of the Shuoming Dynasty before he went to sea.

Therefore, Lu Jing, who originally wanted to trouble Zhao Chao and the others, had to give up this idea and instead took Xu Chu to find a remote corner on the island to hide, and waited until he returned to the gun shop in the shipwreck bazaar.

......

On the way back, Lu Jing leaned against the side of the ship, looking at the treasure map in his hand by the light of the ship, and there were two long boxes at his feet, which contained the guns and bullets he purchased before leaving, originally he only planned to buy a shotgun, but who would have thought that he could make a lot of money unexpectedly?

According to Xu Chu's suggestion, Lu Jing also bought a well-made rifle, in fact, Lu Jing would not use this kind of rifle at all, but Xu Jing kept pouting beside him, saying that he might meet a crew member who is good at using guns in the future, and it was always right to prepare one in advance, so he didn't refuse after thinking about it.

Straight to the point.

Different from the treasure map in Lu Jing's impression, the scroll in his hand did not clearly indicate the route of the treasure location except for the map drawn, which made Lu Jing a little difficult to understand for a while.

"Hey, old man Xu, I'm not interested in men, can you not look at me like this?"

Lu Jing turned his head to look at Xu Chu beside him, and since he left Shipwreck Island, his eyes were really awkward when he looked at him.

In fact, not only Xu Chu, but other people on the deck were also peeking at Lu Jing at this time, as for the three guys who "sent" Lu Jing before, they didn't board the ship at all, and it is estimated that they would rather find a corner on the island to lie on the island for a night than deal with Lu Jing again.

"If you have time, help me see this treasure map, there is neither a place name nor a route on it, and it can be sold for 3 gold leaves plus 60 silver dollars?"

"I didn't expect to be able to meet a cultivator in such a small place, you have recently completed the spiritual awakening, right, what kind of treasure do you get from the demon beast meat you eat...... You can't get it when you meet those monsters...... Yes, it must be so, and only by becoming a cultivator can you defeat those monsters, I thought you relied on guns and stuff like that, I really didn't expect it!"

Xu Chu and Lu Jing were obviously not in the same communication channel, and the latter took the map and shook it twice in front of his eyes before he reacted, and replied,

"This is the characteristic of the treasure map, it is said that the process of making this special treasure map is extremely complex, and even a special skill is used in it, and only the area depicted in the treasure map will show the location, which is to maximize the confidentiality and prevent people from peeping into the treasure spot, of course, this also means that the value of the treasure pointed to by the treasure map will never be low. ”

"Do you know where the information is on this treasure map?"

Lu Jing asked with interest.

"The shape of this island is a bit like the island of rare beasts, and in the waters of Jianchangfu in the Shuoming Dynasty, you have to compare it with a nautical chart to be completely sure...... Are you going on a treasure hunt?"

Staring at the outline of the island on the treasure map for a while, Xu Chu replied with some uncertainty.

"You can even see this, Old Man Xu, your skills are good. ”

In less than a minute, he could roughly guess the location of the island on the treasure map of the living point, which made Lu Jing look at Xu Chu with a little surprise,

"What the hell did you do before, to be just a sailor, I don't believe you know so much!"

After getting along with each other this afternoon, Lu Jing felt more and more that the old man in front of him was extraordinary, even if his combat strength seemed to be inferior to that of an ordinary man in the prime of life, but the knowledge accumulated in this person's mind was far from being comparable to Lu Jing.

At least so far, Lu Jing hasn't found any problems that can stump him!

"Lu Jing, it will definitely not be a problem to go to sea with your strength, but what I need to remind you is that a ship must have a person who is familiar with the local situation, customs, and even the details of all aspects, otherwise, just like what happened in the shipwreck bazaar just now, even if you don't suffer a loss, your harvest will be greatly reduced. ”

Handing back the treasure map to Lu Jing, Xu Chu stood on the side of the boat, looking at the tide at night, his face showed a little reminiscence, but in between words, his eyes always glanced at the expression on Lu Jing's face, and he continued,

"I'm just a person who likes to read, tired of disputes at sea, and wants to pursue a dull life...... It's true that it's plain. ”

"I see, I originally wanted to invite you to sail with me, after all, you have been out of the sea so many times before, I thought you wanted to sail the endless sea like me, but now it seems that I am indeed abrupt, so forget it. ”

Lu Jing stood beside Xu Qiu, his eyes were also looking ahead, and he shook his head with some regret.

I didn't see the white eyes of the old man next to him who was about to roll up to the sky.

(Are you stupid?)

(Lao Tzu just wants to be reserved, won't you persuade me, as long as I persuade a word, I'll nod...... Please, hurry up and persuade me!)

The cold sea breeze blew in their faces, blowing up the clothes of the two of them, and hunting sounded.

Lu Jing picked up the wine gourd, took a sip of juice, and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Old man Xu, what did you go to sea for, or what did you pursue?"

"What's the pursuit, at first I just wanted to change my way of life, but then I ...... In other words, I feel comfortable at sea. ”

Xu is realized something, Xu Chu did not stop his words, and continued,

"The so-called curse caused the shipwreck because those guys are incompetent, full of desire to find treasure, but ignore the dangers around the treasure, and after failure, they don't want me to spread their troubles or cheapen others, deliberately splashing dirty water, at first I thought about explaining, but then I found out that one or two are the same goods, and finally I was too lazy to say more. ”

"I'll be honest, don't mind, the wind and waves at sea are so strong, and your current body is hard to eat a piece of kraft candy, isn't it? ”

Is it true that Lu Jing can't hear the meaning of Xu Xi's words?

That's the key to his undecided mind.

Lu Jing, who had been a captain in his previous life, knew very well that ocean voyages would bring severe tests to his body and personal will, not to mention the dangerous waters in the boundless sea, and occasional battles were almost inevitable, which not everyone could bear.

To put it more bluntly, Lu Jing didn't want to find an old man to be a crew member.

"I'm only 35 this year!"

Sensing the meaning of Lu Jing's words, he slapped the side of the boat, Xu Ji shouted, noticed that Lu Jing was staring at his face with a strange expression, raised his hand and pulled the beard all over his face, and muttered very embarrassedly,

"It's just because I've drunk too much wine in the past few years, I usually stay paralyzed all day and don't exercise, and I don't take care of my appearance much, so those people call me Old Man Xu, and I can recover after a while...... As for the teeth, that's because I ate too many sweets a few years ago, and I got decay!"

"Well, one last question, is the claim that you can attract monsters also a rumor?"

Looking at Xu Qiu's black hair, Lu Jing reluctantly believed his statement and continued to ask.

"No, it's true, but I can control it and guarantee that it will not affect the normal navigation. ”

Xu Chu didn't mean to hide it.

"Go home and tidy up your things, and call me Captain in the future!"

You said that you are actually in the prime of life, and you can still control your ability, don't you have it?

I'm going to tie you to the boat!

As for the origin of Xu Chu's ability, Lu Jing was not interested in getting to the bottom of it.

Everyone has their own secrets, just as he would never mention the origin of his extraordinary abilities to anyone else, he wants a crew member who helps each other, not a slave with a grudge on his heart!

"Okay, Lu Jing, no problem, Lu Jing. ”

Get an affirmative answer. Xu Chu's mood immediately brightened a lot, and he joked with a smile.

“...... This stalk is too old. ”

"Hahaha~"

After a brief silence, both of them laughed merrily.

The horizon in the distance.

The dawn light had already begun.
