Navigator: I have a double six-story house

Chapter 117 Zhang Mama Arrives on the Island

The wind swept across the azure sea, carrying with it a salty, fishy smell.

Standing at the bow of the ship, looking towards Midway Island, Zhang's mother still felt a dull ache from the wound on her shoulder.

As the captain, she was recruited into the Age of Exploration a few days ago and experienced her first instance.

Her injury was sustained while navigating through a dungeon.

But it wasn't the easy difficulty that she was given; it was the nightmare difficulty.

Zhang's mother did not have any awakened talent.

Although she was just an ordinary middle-aged woman, she had not received any professional training or education.

But having lived through ten years of the Age of Exploration, she knew some basic information about it.

A captain who hasn't awakened their talents can only manage to reach the hard difficulty level on their first dungeon run.

Further on, there is a risk of death.

She knew this basic information, but she still chose to play on Nightmare difficulty and only stopped when she was injured and unable to continue.

Her reason was simple: not to become a legend like those young people, but for the children.

Her children.

Most of her adult children came to this dangerous world during the first ten conscriptions.

As their mother, she understands the children's difficulties.

In this dangerous world, even if we can't help those children who risk their lives, we should at least not become a burden to them.

This is just something she takes for granted as a mother.

Not only that, she also has a bunch of underage children who need her care.

The eleventh conscription has been brought forward so much; there aren't many people left on Earth.

Although Xiaoya has not been drafted yet, she can help take care of those children.

But what if Xiaoya gets drafted next time?

The conscription of ships in this Age of Exploration has become increasingly irregular.

What's even more frightening is what if these children, who are only a few years old, are also drafted?

She had to prepare for the worst for these children.

As the mother of this large family, she had long been accustomed to taking all the responsibilities upon herself.

Therefore, she had to be strong.

To create an environment where children still on Earth can grow up well.

Imagine going back to twenty years ago, starting over, and reopening a "Sunshine Orphanage" in this dangerous world.

This is why, despite lacking talent, she gritted her teeth and beat Nightmare difficulty.

The price to pay was a horrific, visible wound on his shoulder.

Without medication, the inflammation in the wound is getting worse.

Fortunately, after the initial instance, the next island is Midway.

Zhang's mother knew that there were usually business people on Midway Island, so medicine should be available there.

I just don't know if I have enough copper coins.

If you don't have enough, that's okay, you can exchange the loot from other dungeons.

Even if all else fails, the D-grade weapons from that dungeon should be enough.

Although the later dungeons will become increasingly difficult without weapons, if I die, there will be no one to take care of those children.

With a heart full of trepidation, Zhang's mother's boat docked.

Her ship docked at Midway Island.

Zhang's mother struggled to climb down the rope ladder from the boat.

As soon as she stepped onto the harbor, she was surrounded by a crowd.

When Zhang's mother glanced around and saw so many people surrounding her, she was initially a little scared.

But when she thought of those children, she straightened her back and her spirits rose.

A sailor with a thick beard pushed through the crowd and walked up to her.

He was a ship manager employed by the Chamber of Commerce.

"Boating fee: twenty copper coins."

Zhang's mother knew about the parking fee. She endured the pain and took out twenty copper coins from her pocket to hand them over.

The bearded man took the money, glanced at her, paused for a moment, and then turned and left.

Zhang's mother noticed that this person left while jogging.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that I've been recognized?

When she was on Earth, she offended a lot of people because of the land and subsidies for the Sunshine Orphanage.

Could this person be one of those people from before?

Zhang's mother swallowed.

I told myself, so what if they are those people?

Now, I am a woman who has single-handedly conquered the Nightmare difficulty level.

Who's afraid of who!

As Zhang's mother was thinking about these things, the crew members who had surrounded her gradually dispersed.

They had originally seen a new captain and were hoping to find an opportunity to board the ship.

But when they saw Zhang's mother, they gave up.

It wasn't because Zhang's mother was a woman; during the Age of Exploration, there were many legendary female captains.

The reason they gave up was the gruesome, visible wound on Zhang's mother's shoulder.

"These days, during the Age of Exploration, they're pulling in all sorts of people, even people this old."

"No way, you can even get injured in a dungeon?"

"Looks like another lucky guy who got the captainship. Let's call it a day."

A few whispers reached her ears, and only then did Zhang's mother realize why these people had gathered around in the first place.

During the Age of Exploration, every Midway Island had crew members waiting to board the ship.

Especially the initial Midway.

They survive by doing odd jobs at the port, their greatest hope being taken away by a passing captain.

But even these crew members didn't want to leave with a useless captain.

Zhang's mother ignored these people's disdain because she had more important things to do.

The wound on my shoulder has been left untreated for several days, and if it's not treated soon, it might get infected.

She needs to find the medicine first.

It was a good thing for her that these people left on their own; she could go to the island to buy medicine from the merchant guild.

As Zhang's mother walked along the harbor toward the island, Midway Island was more lively than she had imagined.

The port's exit connects to a cement road, with various shops on both sides, and the signs on them are in languages ​​she can understand.

She breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that since this place was so bustling, she must be able to buy medicine there.

I just don't know the specific price.

She took a step forward, just as she was thinking of looking for a pharmacy or similar shop, when the man who had charged her parking fee earlier came into view.

The man jogged forward, his face beaming with undisguised joy, followed by another man.

The man was wearing a fitted black suit, and his hair was neatly combed.

Zhang's mother understood that kind of temperament very well.

She had met this kind of person before when she was on Earth, someone she didn't like.

The developer who cut off the water and electricity to the Sunshine Orphanage for the land was dressed like this.

That's the kind of temperament people have who will do anything for money.

She took a deep breath and told herself that.

Zhang Lili, don't be afraid!

You have a whole bunch of kids waiting for you, you can't back down!

Her hand rested on the D-grade longsword at her waist, her only reliance.

The two of them jogged over to Zhang's mother.

The man in the suit and tie wore a very polite smile.

"Hello, Ms. Zhang Lili, I am Felix, the resident deacon of the Wind Breeze Chamber of Commerce."

"It's a pleasure to meet you."
