Chapter 470: Going out to sea to find the Imperial frigate

Internet cafe first floor.

After the village monster attack activity ended yesterday, Wei Shen fell asleep immediately. He slept for half a day and a whole night. He still dreamed about going to a restaurant to find a toilet... He woke up from hunger and the urge to urinate at the same time.

Then suddenly, the situation changed. A new mine was discovered in China, and immediately, hundreds of thousands of people started working!
In short, I was confused, so I quickly ordered two bowls of beef noodles to fill my stomach, and received instructions from the network administrator to "develop freely"!
Wei Shen immediately understood. Normally, with the Southern Jungle Mine being so popular and several guardians present, they should have gone there to capitalize on the buzz. But Chun Ge obviously disagreed, believing too many people wouldn't benefit them. So, of course, the focus would be on the guild's two secret NPC elders and guardians!

Wei Shen first asked in the gang channel: "Has the news about our gang's Dajimi spread out?"

The gods replied, "No, we don't know where Dajimi has gone."

Wei Shen was stunned: "I wonder where he went?"

"really do not know."

"Guardian God and Sword God urged us to work all night on the gang upgrade mission to quickly add them back. I didn't pay attention!"

Wei Shen then privately messaged Xilali in the gang channel: "Elder, are you there?"

No reply. If the NPC doesn't reply, then it's really gone, right?
Wei Shen was in a bit of a dilemma, so he decided to use his authority as vice president to contact the guardian god.

The Guardian Angel immediately responded, "What's the matter, Vice President?"

This is a conversation with God! Wei Shen was a little nervous: "I want to ask the Guardian, what should we do next?"

The guardian was surprised and said, "The whole city is discussing the new mining area. Isn't the vice president going to the mining area?"

Wei Shen replied: "A project that everyone can see is definitely not a good project."

The Guardian asked again, "Isn't Black Iron City still running the Pirate Treasure Map event? Isn't the Vice President going to give it a try?"

This is an NPC-only activity, right?

Wei Shen had never really thought about it: "This activity can only be carried out by a captain of a ship, right? We have nothing, and there are many fake treasure maps. What if we spend several days finding a fake one? Several days of precious leveling tasks will be wasted."

The Guardian laughed. "It seems you equate going out to sea with fishing. So, first find a way to hire a boat. I'll go with you and train you! Throughout the training process, you'll go from rookies to veterans. Not only will your level and strength and related skills continue to grow, but your Guild's level will also increase. This growth rate is no slower than ordinary leveling tasks."

Wei Shen was shocked: "Is this your ability as a guardian god?"

The Guardian smiled and said, "Of course. This is also the general's professional ability."

General!? It's so high-end, no wonder I'm so ignorant!

Wei Shen was excited, but then he was in trouble: "There are 70 people in our gang, and the boat we hired is not small. I'm afraid the cost will be..."

Wei Shen suddenly discovered that the gang's funds were only enough to support the gang and pay daily wages. They were so poor that they couldn't even afford the deposit for hiring a boat! After all, the gang didn't have any industry at all and relied entirely on running errands and collecting protection fees to survive. Where would the funds come from?

The Guardian sighed, "Then it depends on your ability as Vice President. By the way, the more powerful the ship you hire, the better your training will be. Go figure it out."

Wei Shen's scalp is tingling. Can he not do this task?
But the guardian angel has spoken himself, and if we don’t obey his orders, the consequences will be serious, right?

Wei Shen immediately thought of the old drunk at the shipyard. He should go find him! He's been repairing ships for years and must know a lot of captains. It should be easy to find a connection, right? He had the shipyard access badge Vivian had given him anyway—damn it, Vivian? That's my sister-in-law!
However, when he thought about the many eyes and ears of players on the street, especially the too many eyes and ears of Baga Curry, he definitely couldn't walk to the shipyard, because that would expose his development!
So, I could go to the dock and hire a small fishing boat, but that wasn't right either. It was dark now, and the small fishing boats wouldn't go out to sea. So, I could only go to the tavern to find my sister-in-law and see if she could send me a carriage like she did last time.

So Wei Shen hurried to the Night Rose Tavern and suddenly found that Vivian was not there.

This? It's not time to get off work yet, so the NPC will leave?

Wei Shen had no choice but to give a clerk a small tip and ask about this matter: "Where did Miss Vivian go?" The clerk said: "Of course, she went to take care of Baron Bapon's illness!"

Wei Shen was confused: "What should I do then..."

The clerk whispered, "You're the vice president of the Broken Bottle Chamber of Commerce, right? It's the same if you tell me anything!"

Wei Shen was excited: "I want to use the carriage..."

"Easy to say!"

"Wait, let me buy a bottle of wine first, the 1000 yuan kind."

Wei Shen would never buy a bottle of wine worth 1 yuan because he would be so heartbroken that he would bleed.

Then when he got on the car, Wei Shen was overwhelmed with emotions. Although Chun Ge had been incarcerated for ten days, his reputation was still there!

More than ten minutes later, Wei Shen entered the shipyard again.

The shipyard after get off work is still so cool and so friendly.

Wei Shen found the old drunkard who was drinking and eating fried fish and gave him a small gift: "Uncle, I came to see you."

The old drunkard was not shy about showing off and was very happy: "Last night, your gang did a good job in eliminating monsters outside the city, didn't they?"

"That's all because you trained me, and I've learned so much. So, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with..."

The old man was stunned: "You mean, your gang has a patron saint?"

Wei Shen said anxiously: "Yes, this is the secret of our gang, but I will only tell you, Master!"

The old man casually pointed at the Black Iron Blade docked at the pier and asked: "How about this ship?"

Damn, are you drunk?!
Wei Shen was incredulous: "Master, this is Chenghua's flagship? Can it be hired?"

The old man looked around and said: "Of course not hired, you just come on board and hang out!"

Wei Shen still couldn't believe it: "There are so many of us! Moreover, we are going to take this boat to dig for treasure maps?"

The old man said angrily, "What treasure map are you hiding? Expand your scope and go find the USS Maryland, the frigate that disappeared from the Golden Empire a few days ago."

Wei Shen was stunned: "What's missing? There's such a thing?"

The old man snorted coldly, "It's normal that you don't know. This is something only the higher-ups know. The Empire originally assigned each city a search mission. Our Black Iron City actually sent some treasure-hunting ships to search for several days, but there were no results. Now that the Black Iron Blade is almost finished, it's time to go out."

Wei Shen was surprised and said, "But how can a small gang like us get on board for such military matters?"

The old man took a sip of his wine and said, "You are the best gang, why not? Tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, the Black Iron Blade will go to Pier 1 to resupply water and food. All of you gangs will gather at the dock to work as laborers carrying water and food, and then board the ship. In short, don't tell anyone about this."

Wei Shen felt like he was dreaming: "Master, do you have the final say on this kind of military action?"

The old man snorted, "Whether this ship can be launched or not is up to me! If you don't come, tomorrow's operation may not take place. Do you understand?"
