It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

The resort was large, but not large enough to provide a room for a panda. So Zhou Ye gave up a third of his room for Bao Bao (the panda). Sometimes Zhou Ye would sleep in its bed, but more often, Bao Bao would sleep in Zhou Ye's bed.

Now that it has consumed part of the essence of the Human-Human Fruit, the already intelligent meatball has become even smarter. No matter how fierce it is in front of others, in front of Zhou Ye, it can only act cute and charming, and its cries are all the same: "Eeeeeee..."

For no other reason than that whenever it makes that sound, Zhou Ye always holds it in his arms and gives it delicious, peeled fruit to eat.

You don't get this kind of treatment from other places!

After the Seven Warlords of the Sea—no, the ones who came to seek revenge on Li Xunhuan after the death of the Great Joyful Bodhisattva—they all disappeared in an instant. The manor returned to peace and quiet, but the reputation of Zhou Family Manor spread throughout the martial arts world. Many rising stars in the martial arts world regarded Zhou Family Manor as an experience point and came to challenge it one after another, only to be defeated in the great formation in front of the mountain. They had never even seen what the gate of Zhou Family Manor looked like.

By the way, on the fifteenth of August, while the Zhou family was drinking and singing, the decisive battle in the capital also came to a conclusion. The details are unknown, but it is known that Ximen Chuixue was the one who survived.

Of course, Zhou Ye only heard that much and didn't care about any of that. What he really cared about was that his own big ship was finally completed!

"Brother Feng will be back soon. Once he arrives, we'll set sail. The ocean is too vast, so let's take a stroll on the lake first..."

Huang Rong rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. Back then, Zheng He's treasure ships for his voyages to the Western Ocean cost only five thousand taels of silver. Including labor, the cost would be around eight thousand taels. But Zhou Ye's custom-made ship took a whole year to build and cost a whopping twenty-six thousand taels of silver. And that doesn't even include labor costs.

Such a large, powerful, and even the most advanced seagoing vessel in the world, yet under the captain's command, it dared not even enter the river, only daring to swim in the lake... With this kind of operation, the one who is most sorry is not the craftsmen, but the money spent.

Zhou Ye received her disdain, but he had his reasons: "I also want to go to sea, but are you guys familiar with boats? Do you know how to operate them? You should practice on the lake first!"

"Yes, yes, you're absolutely right!"

The high price of the large ship is justified. Leaving aside the interior decoration, the most expensive part is the mechanism that is set every ten steps. In order to make this large ship operate with the fewest possible people, Feng Asan worked so hard that his hair turned completely white.

Zhou Ye was right about at least one thing: this ship definitely needs to be familiarized with more. At the very least, our own people need to figure out all the mechanisms and information on the ship thoroughly.

Actually, Wanwan and Lianxing had already started boarding the ship to familiarize themselves with it. Wang Yuyan was going home first, and she would also start boarding the ship to familiarize herself with it after she returned from Jiangnan. There was also a certain former Dragon King, who was the ship's repairman, and he was currently looking at the blueprints of the large ship.

Anyway, everyone in the family is busy, except for Zhou Ye, the captain and head of the family, who is the most relaxed. No, not just him, but also his increasingly fat iron-eating beast...

That guy is getting smarter and smarter, but also more and more annoying. All he does all day is eat, sleep, and cause trouble. And his body is especially thick. Except for his fur, he looks exactly like the Great Joyful Female Bodhisattva. So his name changed from Baby to Fatty.

If you want to beat it up, you can't do anything without using your internal energy. But if you do use your internal energy, Zhou Ye will be unhappy. A big bear that is half a head taller than Zhou Ye when it stands up actually buried its head in Zhou Ye's arms and cried "sob". I don't know who taught it.

Huang Rong sighed. Fortunately, she didn't have to worry about the household accounts; otherwise, she would have been exhausted!

That scoundrel, I wonder where he's off gallivanting off to again. Luckily, he took that spotted bear with him, otherwise, this manor would have been in chaos for a while.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ye, along with Fatty, set up a paid consultation point outside his own mountain villa. Any young or young heroine who wanted to go up the mountain to challenge would come here for a paid consultation.

What are you asking about?

Of course, it's the large formation surrounding Zhou Mountain (the mountain bought by the Zhou family).

Zhou Ye knew nothing about formations. If he went inside, he would get lost even without using Moon Step. So this time, he carried Fatty out and flew out using Moon Step.

"You'll carry me when I'm showing off, and I'll carry you when we're running for our lives." This was Zhou Ye's promise to Fatty...

But not understanding doesn't mean you can't brag, right?

Besides, he doesn't understand formations, but he does know their names. So as long as someone is willing to pay, he'll exaggerate, making it sound impressive but not necessarily profound, always giving the young heroes and heroines the feeling that he's very deep.

Of course, he charges a consultation fee, but he also charges for "experiences in breaking through the formation". Those who fail to break through the formation can also get two taels of silver as long as they are willing to tell him everything about their experience in the formation.

His actions gave the impression that he also wanted to break Zhou Shan's formation and compete with the experts in Zhou Shan. In addition, he was tall and strong, clearly a master of external martial arts, and had a strange iron-eating beast as a companion. Therefore, no one suspected that he was from Zhou Shan.

Surprisingly, business is pretty good. With the consulting fees they've collected, they each have a bear and they're living a decent life. They're not rich, but they have meat and wine with every meal.

Zhou Ye ate all the meat, while Fatty drank the wine. With such a big physique and so much meat, he could only drink one jar of wine a day and still get so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily. Fatty is something else.

But Zhou Ye didn't mind. He did it on purpose. If he had to attend social events in the future, he would have Fatty drink for him. For now, he was just practicing his drinking capacity.

As for whether human alcohol will harm Fatty's body... there's no need to worry, because Fatty has internal energy; it practices the Nine Yang Divine Skill.

Xiao Feng was not made things difficult. The Khitans made several offers, but he refused each time, so they let him be. He returned in less than two months. When he arrived at the foot of Zhou Mountain, he was quite surprised to see so many people at the foot of the mountain. It wasn't until he saw Zhou Ye setting up a stall and charging for his goods that he understood a little.

"Ah Ye, you seem to have a lot of free time on your hands?"

As Xiao Feng spoke, he stroked the chubby bear's big round head. The bear tried to bare its teeth, but when Xiao Feng pinched its face, it became obedient. This guy really hurt when he hit a bear!

If someone else hits him, the chubby boy will fake cry, but if this person hits him, he'll really cry...

Fatty, whose wisdom has reached new heights, is very good at judging the situation!
