Yes, I became a god just by exercising.

Chapter 204 Xia Fa's Cultivation Journey!
The waves crashed and pounded against the shore, and sunlight shone through the splashing water, casting rainbow-like rays on the rocks.

A pair of sturdy leather boots stepped onto the rocks.

The owner of the boots was a rather muscular Western cowboy, standing at 1.8 meters tall, with a rugged beard. Just one glance was enough to convey his tough-guy reliability.

It was Xia Fa who had disguised his appearance and identity.

Since he had already disguised his identity, he definitely needed to give himself a new name. After thinking hard for a long time, Xia Fa decided to call himself "Caesar," mainly to make it easier for readers to remember. Xia Fa felt that he was quite thoughtful.

In this world, although there are architectural styles reminiscent of ancient Rome and ancient Greece, such a history does not exist.

Therefore, it's not strange that he calls himself "Caesar," and no one will associate him with Julius Caesar, because there was never a Julius Caesar in the history of this world.

"The Chainsaw Pirates..."

It cost a full 30,100 gold pounds—no, 30,200 gold pounds including drinks—to finally acquire the information. While Xia Fa felt a pang of regret, he also secretly hoped for it.

As long as I can find Captain Hook, I am quite confident that I can kill him. At that time, I will most likely be able to advance the understanding of the Star Gate and sign the "Mysterious Singularity" agreement!

Once the Mysterious Singularity, a supreme-level secret contract, is signed, the Wolf-level transcendent will become the first person in history to simultaneously sign three supreme-level secret contracts...

Finally, I will be able to protect myself on the sea, a sea full of dangers and opportunities!
Even when facing a Crimson Agent, they can manage to exchange a few blows and avoid being constantly on the defensive.

Fungus, insect, eagle, wolf, elephant, whale, demigod, angel, overlord... A wolf-level monster fighting an overlord—just thinking about it is thrilling.

The key now is to find a way to infiltrate the "Chainsaw Pirates" and head to the Sun Volcano in Princess Shark's territory!

I wonder if it's easy to infiltrate the Chainsaw Pirates...

This is a port outside the City of Ten Thousand Stars in the Worm Islands. In the pirate-ruled land, the pirate ships naturally do not need to find a remote bay to dock like they do in Rum City; they can simply dock at the port.

However, this also resulted in the port outside the City of Ten Thousand Stars being almost entirely filled with pirate ships.

The two largest pirate ships were naturally the Star and the Shark.

Both ships are simply spectacular; the Shark is like a mobile megacity on the sea, while the Star is like a ship carrying a small planet.

The difference is that on the deck of the Shark, many pirates are already happily busy preparing to set sail.

On the Stellar, a group of men wearing wooden ghost masks and black suits were enforcing martial law with sniper rifles equipped with scopes.

"It seems the Crimson Agents have already taken over the Stellar..."

Xia Fa withdrew his gaze. Now was not the time to concern himself with this matter. He would wait until he had killed Captain Hook and signed the Mysterious Singularity, a supreme-level secret contract, before returning to properly plan how to proceed.

Turning our gaze to the port, we saw hundreds of pirate ships of all sizes, even mixed with black market merchant vessels.

Various flags fluttered in the wind, each bearing the emblems of numerous different pirate groups... Xia Fa felt a chill run down his spine; finding the Chainsaw Pirates among hundreds of ships seemed a bit difficult.

"We're hiring! We're hiring! Let's cause some trouble at Solar Volcano!"

Suddenly, Xia Fa spotted a young man wearing a sleeveless denim jacket and a baseball cap, holding a sign and struggling to squeeze through the dense crowd at the port, shouting energetically.

A thought crossed his mind, and upon closer inspection, he saw lines of job postings on the sign.

[The Chainsaw Pirates - We cordially invite you to join us in doing great things!]

Our pirate crew primarily engages in capturing supernatural creatures, and secondarily in exploring ruins, ancient sites, and eerie realms. We welcome mercenaries and those who can transport black market goods. We are currently recruiting throughout the Baron Ocean!

[Requirements: At least three years of pirate experience. No experience is necessary, as long as you don't betray your fellow pirates!]

[Detailed Benefits and Compensation]

[Elephant-class pirates...]

[Whale-level...]

[Demigod-level Pirate: You'll be the first mate if you join us, salary negotiable!]

[Angel-level Pirate: Once you're here, you're the captain! Our Captain Chainsaw Baker will be your first mate!]

[Dominator-level Pirate: Haha, just kidding! Surely no Dominator would actually want to join our pirate crew? If so, we'd all be happy to be your underlings!]

Xia Fa glanced at the whole thing and found it quite interesting.

Pirates used all sorts of methods to recruit people, but very few of them wrote down the compensation and benefits so clearly.

Could it be that Captain Chainsaw Baker ran a company before he became a pirate?
Without hesitation, Xia Fa walked straight over.

Upon seeing this, the rather burly young man wearing a baseball cap immediately stepped forward and came to greet him.

"Hey bro, wanna join our Chainsaw Pirate Crew? The benefits are all listed, take a look, you'll be satisfied!"

Before arriving at the port, Xia Fa had already canceled the ability of the suit treasure to conceal his rank and aura, so as to prevent anyone from discovering his identity through this.

After all, if he, as Xia Fa, and as Caesar, could both conceal their rank and aura, it would be hard to guarantee that someone with ulterior motives wouldn't make a connection and discover something.

As the saying goes, "better safe than sorry," and after experiencing the Wanxing Pirate Crew's pirate conference, Xia Fa has come to understand the meaning of this saying even more deeply.

"What are you going to do at the Solar Volcano? If it's to go on an adventure inside the Solar Volcano, then forget it."

Xia Fa spoke, his voice sounding quite steady and strong.

It's a pity I didn't have a cigar on hand, otherwise, it would have been even more stylish to have one in my mouth.

The young man in the baseball cap smiled and said:
"Of course we can't go into the Solar Volcano. To put it bluntly, is that something pirates below the level of demigods like us can enter? The reason we're going to the vicinity of the Solar Volcano this time is to—"

He suddenly leaned closer and whispered in Xia Fa's ear, nuzzling against it and breathing hot air into it.

"—Catch the weird."

Xia Fa looked quite surprised, raising an eyebrow:
"Why are you grabbing this thing?"

Although he was asking a question in return, he did not use a single word related to "weird".

Seeing this, the young man in the baseball cap nodded secretly, acknowledging Xia Fa's caution and composure, and smiled:

"I don't know what we'll do with it, but it'll be very valuable. Don't worry, we have a special treasure, so there won't be any problems. As long as we handle it well, we're especially not afraid of it getting out of control."

As he spoke, he looked Xia Fa up and down, his tone carrying a hint of seduction:
"Hey bro, wanna come? I bet you're already Eagle-class, that's enough to make a living at sea."

Xia Fa pretended to consider it for a moment:

"Are you sure it's okay?"

The young man in the baseball cap said rather boldly:
"You can board the ship first, and if you feel something is wrong, you can disembark at any time. Our captain will even provide you with a small wooden boat, provided that you pay a breach of contract fee, which is equivalent to one month's salary."

Xia Fa then pretended to be relieved:
"Alright, where's our boat?" The young man in the baseball cap was overjoyed to see him agree. He held up the sign with one hand, and with the other, he took out a brooch and handed it to Xia Fa.

Immediately, he pointed to the three o'clock position of the port.

"See that black flag with the yellow and black chainsaw pattern on it? Wear this brooch and go over there."

After the young man in the baseball cap finished speaking, he patted Xia Fa on the shoulder:

"Good luck, if you pull off this job, you can at least live a carefree life for a year or two! By the way, my name is Asherma, what's yours?"

"Caesar."

Xia Fa threw out the name without saying anything more, then turned and walked towards the chainsaw pirate ship.

Strangely enough, he had been looking around the harbor but couldn't find the ship anywhere, but the young man in the baseball cap named Asher pointed at it and spotted it immediately.

Upon reaching the shore, Xia Fa first put on the brooch around her neck. It was a chainsaw-shaped brooch with alternating yellow and black stripes, quite exquisite.

As soon as Xia Fa put on the brooch, he saw that the chainsaw pirate ship immediately sailed towards him.

Before the pirate ship even docked, Xia Fa leaped across the deck, using only his physical strength to traverse dozens of meters.

There were more than thirty pirates on the deck, of all shapes and sizes. When they saw Xia Fa show off his skills, some of them turned serious, while others were quite disdainful.

Just then, from among the pirates, a rather short and stout middle-aged man carrying a chainsaw stepped forward and walked up to Xia Fa.

"Brother, you've got impressive skills! Welcome to our Chainsaw Pirate Crew!"

The man was bald, but had a black beard. He had short, thick limbs and a muscular build. The chainsaw on his back was striped with yellow and black. He exuded an aura of demigod status.
You can tell at a glance that it's "Chainsaw Baker," the captain of the Chainsaw Pirates.

He took Xia Fa's arm with one hand and patted his shoulder with the other, appearing quite warm.

"Now that we're on board, we're all brothers. If you need anything, just let me know."

Xia Fa maintained his tough-guy image and said in a deep voice:
"Alright, thank you very much, Captain Baker."

Captain Baker smiled and nodded, then pulled him aside and introduced him to the other crew members one by one.

Of these crew members, only one was whale-class, and only three were elephant-class; the rest were wolf-class or lower.

Xia Fa discovered that, on the surface, his strength was only at the middle level within the Chainsaw Pirates.

boom!
Suddenly, the deck beneath my feet shook, and the ship had docked.

Xia Fa was slightly taken aback. He had already boarded the ship, so why was the ship still docking?
But immediately, he heard the melodious voices of two girls behind him, as sweet as wind chimes.

"Here it comes! The ship has docked!"

"Sisters, let's go up quickly!"

"Hehe, I can finally experience the life of a pirate. It was not easy to escape from the palace."

"What palace? Didn't we escape from home?"

"Oh right! Look at me, I got excited and said the wrong thing."

Xiafa: ...

Before he even turned around, he already realized something was wrong.

One of these two girls... seems to be a little mentally challenged.

Immediately afterwards, a sweet fragrance of jasmine and cornflower wafted over, and Xia Fa turned his head, slightly startled.

And there it was—both girls were carrying cloth bags!

The Cloth Bag Man?
Although the two girls' bags were just the most common blue, it was obvious from their previous conversation that anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was a disguise.

Among the girls of the Budai tribe, the most beautiful are no less stunning than humans, and these two boys are the best proof of that.

The two girls were quite different. One was tall and slender, while the other was petite with big, bright eyes that made her look very cute.

"Hello everyone! I'm Linglong, and this is my sister, Hyacinth!"

The big-eyed girl waved her fair, slender arms with a playful laugh, greeting everyone.

The tall girl named Hyacinth reached into the bag behind her and pulled out a handful of chocolates, chuckling softly:

"Come on, nice to meet you all, I'll treat you to some candy!"

The thirty-odd pirates on the deck cheered and rushed forward to grab the candy from Hyacinth's hand.

However, all the pirates behaved themselves and dared not touch Hyacinth's snow-white arms, or even her fair hands holding the chocolates.

The reason is simple... Hyacinth exudes a demigod aura that is faintly stronger than that of Chainsaw Baker!
As for Linglong, she was also a whale-level superhuman!
Otherwise, given the pirates' penchant for pleasure, why wouldn't they seize this opportunity to get closer to the two girls?

Xia Fa maintained his tough-guy demeanor and didn't reach for the chocolate, though he was quite surprised.

At first, when he heard what the two girls in cloth bags said, he was somewhat surprised that they dared to venture out to sea.

But now it seems that with this strength, as long as you are a little careful and don't provoke pirates with angelic rank or young overlords, it will be more than enough!
Captain Chainsaw Baker was overjoyed at the sight and trotted over on his short legs.

"Ms. Hyacinth and Ms. Linglong, welcome to the team! Wow, with the two of you here, our Chainsaw Pirate Crew is definitely stronger!"

He had been quite enthusiastic when facing Xia Fa before, but now, facing the two powerful girls, he was extremely enthusiastic, his face practically beaming with joy.

Hyacinth smiled slightly and said politely:

"Hello Captain, I'll be following you from now on."

Linglong chuckled and said:

"Chainsaw Baker... I've heard that name before, back in the Kingdom of Cloth Bags. There are so many legends about you!"

Captain Chainsaw Baker, flattered by Linglong's praise, became even more elated and waved his hands repeatedly, saying:
"Not at all, not at all. My strength is nothing special at sea. However, with the two of you joining us, we have nothing to fear as long as we don't encounter an angel-level pirate crew!"

Just like he had done with Shafa before, Captain Chainsaw Baker introduced the pirates on his ship to the two girls in their blouses one by one.

The pirates were all filled with fear and trepidation, a stark contrast to their relaxed and natural demeanor when facing Xia Fa.

After all, Hyacinth is beautiful, tall, and a demigod, so they couldn't help but be nervous. Linglong, as a whale-level superhuman, is not to be underestimated either.

Moreover, both girls possessed the refined manners of well-bred young ladies from noble families, which made the pirates feel somewhat ashamed of themselves.

When it was Xia Fa's turn, Captain Chainsaw Baker smiled and said:
"This brother is called Caesar, an Eagle-level superhuman. Like you two, he has just joined our pirate crew. Get to know him."

Hyacinth looked Xia Fa up and down, then smiled politely and courteously:
"Hello, Caesar, please take care of me from now on."

Linglong glanced at Xia Fa, seemingly unimpressed, clearly regarding him as an ordinary Eagle-level superhuman.
