Chapter 289: The Sea Team

City of Light’s port.

“Aish, back off, back off! Give way to this brother!”

“Welcome, older brother! Are there any missions to go out to the sea?”

“Brother, brother, do you remember me? Last time I went out to the sea with you and went through difficult times together. What’s the new mission this time?”

The players rushed up like cats smelling fish and surrounded Lin Jie like an airtight wall at the moment he appeared in the harbor. Some players who did not know the inside story were inevitably be surprised.

‘What kind of ability does he possess to get such a prestige?’ most of them thought.

“Hey, friend, who is he?” A hothead, who was in the dark, asked quietly.

“This guy is our lucky star! Last time he came to the port, he waved his hand and recruited 50 players as sailors to go out to the sea for 7 days! Do you know what that means? It’s so difficult for us to go out to the sea. Still, if you cozy up to him, things, like leveling up and going out to the sea to trade, would be very simple!” someone replied immediately.

Another player, with an indifferent face, folded his arms and said, “That’s right, I was one of the sailors on his ship last time. During the 7-day voyage, my proficiency increased by half a bar. And not only that, but I was also rewarded with a few gold coins.”

“Oh? Senior, please pass on your experience to us.”

“Well, he and I are brothers, close friends on the battlefield. He would listen to my suggestions.” Although the man had an indifferent expression, he subconsciously raised his chest and squeezed into the crowd under the envious eyes of the two players. He became part of the crowd that was admiring Lin Jie. He raised his hand up high, hoping Lin Jie could see his insignificant ‘close friend’ among the crowd.

Lin Jie frowned. He had underestimated the players’ thirst for going out to the sea.

“I don’t have any missions that require going out to the sea, y’all can leave now!” said Lin Jie and waved his hands. He had been blocked by these enthusiastic players and could not move even half a step forward.

“What a pity.”

“Please come to me if you have any missions. My name is Going To Heaven And Earth But Not The Sea. Brother, please take note.”

The crowd reluctantly dispersed. Lin Jie went to the port and pulled out Marine Currency to play with. Calculating the time, the Nagas were about to reach the sea area of City of Light with their speed. He was planning to rent a fast boat and go out to the sea to complete the deal with the Nagas.

During this period, Lin Jie had messaged Wu Dongdong, but the system prompted that the target was not available.

He must have left the territory of the Guild of Light. No man was rich without ill-gotten wealth. If he wanted to make an achievement in this world, he must have courage, dare to think big, and take actions. What kind of low-level smuggling was it to smuggle war goods, rare gems, and precious slaves? Only by smuggling the corpses of the Guild of Light to the Tribe of Darkness, and transporting the occult practices of Tribe of Darkness to Guild of Light could it be called smuggling!

Making a pile through wars was the right way to get rich!

Grrrdong~

The water surface fluctuated—there was a biological creature under the water.

“Why did a mermaid come at this time?” Some players were surprised. Every day, the mermaids would send back a batch of sailors, who had encountered pirates or sea monsters at sea. However, it was a little early today.

“Milord…”

A muffled voice sounded, and the crowd was shocked! How could this be a mermaid? This was a fierce-looking, scaly Naga!

Whenever the mermaids came ashore, they would attract a large number of players because the mermaids looked sweet and dressed in rags. But Nagas were ugly, like an ugly head inlaid with dozens of snake skins, making the players be terrified by their looks.

Lin Jie was astonished. “How did you get hurt?”

“The humans have set up a large number of protective facilities. I was attacked while bypassing the outer sea area.” Naga Gion’s voice was weak.

“It’s Cade!” Lin Jie’s eyes flashed. ‘It must be this jealous NPC that has set up the protective facilities and severely wounded Gion.’

Fortunately, Naga Gion had come alone. Otherwise, many of the lives he had been trying hard to save in Naga Island would cease to exist!

However, Naga Gion was too honest as it ran straight to the harbor! Did it know that it was an opposing biological creature?

“These are the potions, I’ve already packaged them. Take them.” Lin Jie stuffed the Element Volatile Potions into Gion’s arms, and their bodies were tightly stuck together.

This action was to protect Gion!

At the port, the NPCs of Guild of Marine Freedom had taken out their fire guns, spears, and fishing nets, getting ready to kill Gion! Nagas were seen as sea monsters due to their ugly snake body with a human head and multiple arms. They would kill Nagas as soon as they saw on!

The crueler and disgusted the others’ behavior towards Gion, the more prominent Lin Jie’s different attitude was! After passing the potions to Gion, Lin Jie put his hands on his shoulders and pushed him out with great force!

How could Gion not know what Lin Jie was thinking? He leaped up, like a snake, and swam away fiercely and swiftly. A loach-like shadow shook under the water and disappeared quickly.

“Shoot! Kill this Naga!”

The NPCs of the Guild of Marine Freedom came to their senses and were about to chase it, but the port suddenly exploded in discussion! Lin Jie, who was a human a second earlier, was now covered in scales, and his face was as fierce as a Naga’s!

Enchanted Scaly Armor!

In order to let Gion leave safely, Lin Jie activated Enchanted Scaly Armor to attract people’s attention.

There were countless skills, which could enhance one’s body with scales like Fire Armor and Magic Armor, but few were so powerful that even the breath could be changed. Enchanted Scaly Armor was an Epic Skill, and once cast Lin Jie’s breath, body, and muscles would be changed. Hence, he now looked just like a Naga standing at the harbor! Not only that, the Naga’s Trident in Lin Jie’s hands was a sacred object of the Nagas. A breath of ocean diffused out of the void, which made the Naga’s aura even richer.

However, Gion had disappeared by that time.

Everyone looked at one another, and could not tell whether the man in front of them was a monster or not. They could not decide whether to kill him or not.

At this moment, a young Elf Navigator came out of the crowd, looked at Lin Jie in surprise, and asked, “Are you…”

Lin Jie withdrew his scaly armor and smiled. “Long time no see, Pleater.”

“Hey, it was you!” Pleater laughed and patted Lin Jie on his shoulder. Then, he glared at the waiting Defenders of the Guild of Marine Freedom and barked, “What are you doing? Keep your weapons now! He is the great Warrior who killed Stray Emilia! He even safeguarded Crying Bay by stopping the Simon Pirate’s slave trading, the overlord of the sea! He was the reason why your cargo ships could go through Crying Bay safely. Is this how you treat your benefactor?”

Everyone was shocked.

“I know this NPC, he’s Pleater! The great navigator who survived after killing The Stray. He has even leveled up to Superior-Grade!”

“OMG, Superior-Grade Navigator! He can bring more than 200 sailors out to the sea. I didn’t even know that earlier on, go and fawn on him quick!”

“Don’t rush, look, he still has something to say.”

After watching the NPCs slowly withdraw their guns, Pleater nodded satisfactorily and laughed. “After the fight with The Stray, I, Pleater, have successfully leveled up to a Superior-Grade Navigator, and I’m going to trade in City of Flowers soon. The voyage will last for 1 month. Are you interested? You’re my benefactor, I can teach you all the navigation skills that I studied.”

A cross-border trade, which would last for 1 month! All the sailors were stunned. How many players bustled around the harbor for months, but still could not get a chance to go out to the sea for only half an hour? Now, this NPC was inviting Lin Jie to sail for 1 month, and even wanted to teach him navigation skills! Was that man an illegitimate son of the NPC?

“I don’t like going out to the sea.” Lin Jie shook his head.

Pleater was a wily old fox, how could he not know of Lin Jie’s seasickness, and that he did not like navigation? He said that just to help Lin Jie out and repay him for getting revenge.

Pleater waved his hands, looked at thousands of players in front of him, and said, “In that case, I’ll be taking other humans with me for the voyage! After that fight, I understood the strategic role of humans during the voyage. Impressive! In half a month, I want to train a group of human sailors, and I’ll take three of you out to the sea. Brother, your eyes are sharp, help me choose a few players!”

Lin Jie was stunned. He never thought that Pleater would do this.

The crowd rushed up crazily, and the size was ten times larger than when Lin Jie had just reached the harbor! An NPC hiring sailors was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! If they successfully boarded his ship, they would be legit sailors after they returned. After that, they could officially start to trade!

Lin Jie once again became the focus. Everyone wanted to please and flatter him.

However, Lin Jie was blocked by the enthusiastic masses, and it was difficult for him to even take half a step forward. After all, he was the players’ hope of going out to the sea!

How smart of a man was Lin Jie? He could even squeeze out oil out of stones! Wasn’t this the best chance for him to buy popularity?

“Friends, quiet down! Quiet!” Lin Jie waved his hands, and everyone instantly quietened down, fearing that their breath would affect Lin Jie’s mood, and hence, lose the chance of going out to the sea.

“I know how difficult it is to get an opportunity to go out to the sea, and I also understand your excitement! But have you ever thought about why we suffer from this situation?” Lin Jie asked aloud.

“It’s all because of Wu Dongdong, that bastard! Had it not been of what he did, we would already have been out to the sea!” some player shouted fiercely.

“Wrong! Totally wrong!” Lin Jie widened his eyes and shouted in a serious tone, “Because you don’t deserve to be trusted by the NPCs! The NPCs see what you are doing! And if you don’t have enough contribution points, you’re not qualified to board their ships.”

“I don’t need to say much about the benefits that you can get from this 1-month journey. But you must be capable enough to get this qualification!”

“In the next 1 week, Pleater will arrange for ships to send you out to the sea, 100 people at a time. The voyage will last for half an hour to train your adaptability on the sea. A points system will be set up and monitored by the NPCs. The ones with outstanding performances will be joining the 1-month trading voyage! As for the rest, I can assure you of a chance to go out to the sea as well! But for those who perform badly, or feel hatred toward me, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance!”

Lin Jie’s words gave unlimited hope to those sailors. They would have the hope of leveling up if they got to go out to the sea! Over the past few months, the number of players who had been to the sea could be counted in one hand. And Lin Jie was the only one who could let 50 players go to the sea!

A player shouted loudly, “Then, what price must we pay?”

“Very simple! Join Brotherhood! From today onwards, you are members of the [Sea Team]. Like the Savage Blade teams, only the fittest will survive! How about that?” Lin Jie said in a plain voice.

“You… Who are you?” Someone swallowed his saliva hard, widened his eyes, and looked forward to Lin Jie’s answer.

Lin Jie smiled faintly and took off his cloak.

Lone Wolf’s cold eyes lit up.
