Natural disasters come: I become a big boss by picking up scraps

Chapter 426 Sailing Carnival 18
Jiang Xin and his companions had no doubt about Fu You's words.

"That's good that it's gone. I don't have to worry every day." Ye Cheng said.

It's not that he has no confidence in himself. It's just that everyone on the boat has his own little thoughts. If anything really happens, I guarantee that no one will be reliable.

"By the way, our mission this time is to open up a new route, and the time is three months. So what does it take to be considered a mission success?" Jiang Yue suddenly asked.

"Is it considered a mission success if we reach the destination, or is it considered a mission success if we can float safely on the sea for three months?"

This is a good question.

To open up a new route means to open up or develop a new route. A historical example is Columbus' discovery of the New World.

If it is the latter, the task is simple, but if it is the former, are they really going to discover a new continent?
It’s not that such a task cannot be completed, but discovering a new continent in three months is a bit too rushed, and luck also plays a role.

Ling Mo looked at Jiang Yue's worried expression and explained, "We have an exact destination, an island that has never been developed. Because it has never been developed, no one has ever been there, so our mission this time is to explore a safe route."

The ocean is full of dangers, and air transportation is too expensive. Moreover, here, the sky is not necessarily safer than the ocean.

This island was discovered by the Golden Scale Clan, and according to the laws of the Interstellar Federation, they own the island.

But because the island is very far from the coast and that area of ​​​​sea has never been explored, the Golden Scale Clan hired adventurers to open up new routes.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Ling Mo cleaned the table and asked Qie Man to project a 3D map on the table.

She pointed to a pier and said, "This is the pier where we departed."

Then she pointed in another direction, where there was a palm-sized island, "This is our destination."

Finally, she pointed to a simple cargo ship in the sea and said, "This is where we are now."

There is a winding red dotted line behind the cargo ship, which is the route the cargo ship has traveled from its departure to now.

"According to normal time calculation, if everything goes well, it will take about two months to reach the destination from the dock. The reason why the Golden Scale Clan set it to three months is probably to prevent unexpected situations."

After Ling Mo finished speaking, she found that the room was silent and everyone's eyes were on her.

At this moment she realized that she had said too much.

He was a little panicked in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface.

"Mo Mo, how do you know all this?" Ye Kai asked.

The system tasks they received should be the same.

Or does the system give her special treatment?
Ling Mo pretended to be calm and said, "These things are not secrets. You can find out by just asking around at the dock. Did you not ask?"

After coming up with this perfect explanation, Ling Mo immediately took the initiative and asked back.

As she spoke, there was just the right amount of confusion and shock in her eyes.

"You should be open and honest at times like this. You should ask questions if you need to. It's not like you can't understand the language here."

Listening to Ling Mo's earnest words, everyone fell silent. They really didn't expect it to be like this, mainly because their attention was on the equipment at the time, who could have thought of this.

"Well, have you heard any other information besides this?" Ye Cheng asked.

Ling Mo nodded, "Of course there is." Then she pointed to the map.

This map was obtained by Ling Morang and Qie Man in the Adventurer's Guild using their identities, so the markings on it as well as the distribution of some marine life and some dangers are very detailed.

For example, where the pirate activities are and where the coral reefs that can sink ships are can all be seen at a glance.

These have all been explored a long time ago, but there is still a large part that has not been explored. People are unaware of the situation there. Even the Adventurer's Guild can only make some guesses about the situation there and cannot confirm it.

"There is a suspected school of stonefish at the location we are about to pass, and one of them is over 20 meters in size."

"Stonefish?"

Several people looked at Ling Mo with confusion and curiosity in their eyes.

Seeing this, she sighed and explained resignedly, "Stonefish are a type of fish. Their entire bodies are covered in hard minerals. They are extremely hard, and ordinary attacks cannot break through their defenses at all."

As he spoke, Ling Mo patted the table, and a virtual stonefish appeared in front of everyone.

Its entire body is covered with metallic stones, with only a pair of black eyes exposed. This is probably the only weakness of the stonefish.

"Is this fish dangerous?" Ye Kai asked.

"Stonefish are docile in nature. Because they are covered in stones, they swim very slowly. They are the kind of fish that won't care if you provoke them."

After hearing Ling Mo's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, except Fu You.

"But..." Ling Mo suddenly changed the subject, "Don't forget, I also said there was a giant stone fish that was over 20 meters in size."

“Although stonefish are docile, it doesn’t mean they are not dangerous.”

"Stonefish usually live near the sea surface. In order to keep the stones on their bodies clean and tidy, they often look for hard objects to polish the stones on their bodies. Compared with reefs in the sea, they tend to prefer passing ships, especially large ships."

"Small stonefish may not pose a threat to the cargo ship we are on, but the 20-meter giant stonefish may be a threat."

"If it brushes against the bottom of the cargo ship..."

Ling Mo didn't finish her words, but everyone knew what she meant.

Jiang Xin's expression turned a little ugly. "Then what should we do? Should we go and inform the captain?"

"Let's find a time to tell you about it. It's okay if it's not a 20-meter giant stonefish. I guess no one would believe it even if I told you, because the largest stonefish ever recorded is 8 meters long, and we may not be able to encounter one. What I just said are just guesses."

After saying that, Ling Mo patted her shoulder to comfort her.

After breakfast, everyone looked worried.

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Fu You took out some Happy Fat House Water and shared it among them. Eating sweets can make people happy.
