Navigator: I have a double six-story house

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing rang out, but the dagger failed to pierce Su Qing's neck.

Wang Yao's shield easily blocked the assassination attempt.

The shield, battered and bruised by the two bosses, was impervious to the assassin's dagger, which left no mark on its somewhat grime-covered surface.

The assassin was bewildered; this was different from what those people had told him.

Those people clearly told him that this generous Captain Su and his crew were all good-for-nothings, just rich good-for-nothings.

If he could just take down those fools who thought he was the big boss, he could not only make a name for himself on Midway Island, but also amass a fortune.

Why was his fatal blow blocked by a shield that looked like a piece of junk?

He didn't understand, but Wang Yao would soon make him understand what it meant for a shield to be made of iron.

Wang Yao smiled faintly, a smile like the cheerful, sunny older brother next door bringing you a game console and letting you play games that other kids want but don't have.

However, what Wang Yao delivered wasn't a game console, but a swift shield bash.

The shield slammed into the bewildered assassin's face, sending up a cloud of blood mist.

The assassin was sent flying, his body slamming into the hard concrete pavement, the pain coursing through his entire body.

escape!

This was the thought that immediately came to his mind.

He had to escape immediately and tell his good brother that he had been deceived and that someone with ulterior motives had given his good brother false information.

He needed to go back and tell his good older brother that there were people with ulterior motives around, and that he must be careful.

However, just as he turned over to get up, his back was stomped on hard.

"You've offended Captain Su, and you think you can just leave?"

The assassin turned his head and saw that Wang Yao still had that warm smile of a friendly older brother next door, but it didn't warm his heart at all.

Wang Yao raised his fist, as big as a sandbag, and slammed it down. In an instant, blood gushed from the assassin's nose.

Wang Yao's profession is [Iron Wall Guardian]. As a defensive profession, his attack ability has a negative modifier, the same as Su Qing's reload speed.

Even though he was almost level four or five, his modified attack power was not fatal, and one punch did not kill the assassin.

But who said he only threw one punch?

The assassin at his feet twisted and turned, begging for mercy incoherently.

"Boss, I was wrong, please...please spare my life!"

Wang Yao paused for a moment.

"To survive, they're even resorting to calling out 'big shots'?"

"You don't just know you're wrong, you know you're going to die."

The fists continued to fall, one after another, while the assassin beneath his feet twisted and turned desperately, trying to escape.

But Wang Yao's attack power was weakened, not his strength.

The surrounding crowd watched in silence, making no sound, except for the echoing sounds of fists smashing bones and tearing flesh.

Their silence stemmed from more than just fear.

After all, he was a man with a sunny smile. To beat someone to death in broad daylight, punch after punch, like a dull knife cutting flesh, is truly chilling.

But more often than not, people feel it's just what they should do.

In the eyes of the crew who had endured so much at Midway, it was perfectly normal for someone as "powerful" as Su Qing to be assassinated, and for his men to beat the assassin to death.

Midway Island is a melting pot of all sorts of people, but there are no saints among them.

Moreover, Wang Yao's brutality made their eyes even redder.

That dented shield is definitely not some initial equipment; it must be equipment of D grade or higher!

This is a piece of information: Su Qing has abundant resources at her disposal!

After a while, the assassin at Wang Yao's feet stopped moving. He was panting heavily and stopped mechanically swinging his fists.

The man is already dead; there's no need to desecrate his corpse. After all, he wasn't some kind of monster.

He didn't know about Su Zai's plans, nor did he need to. He only knew one thing: whoever wanted to kill Su Zai, he would kill first!

Even though he knew that the assassin in front of him was just a pawn pushed out to the front, he didn't care.

He just wanted to use blood to show others what would happen if they messed with Su Zai.

The smile on his face, like that of a friendly older brother, wasn't because he was some kind of murderous psychopath, but because he and Su Qing had grown up together in an orphanage since they were little.

He is Su Qing's "big brother next door".

"Someone this good-for-nothing dares to try assassination?"

"Pooh!"

Wang Yao spat on the corpse, casually flicked the blood off his hands, and glanced around with a kind look, but no one dared to meet his gaze.

Su Qing stood still, watching coldly as Wang Yao killed the assassin from beginning to end.

For him, it was simple: those who kill will always be killed; if he dared to make a move, he had to be prepared to be killed.

He ignored the mangled corpse on the ground and strode forward. He said calmly, "Let's go."

Wang Yao turned to the side, respectfully letting Su Qing walk in front, while he lagged behind by half a step.

He acted like a sycophant.

The crowd parted automatically in the direction the two were heading, but this time, the path they cleared was much wider.

Su Qing walked at a steady pace, taking in all sorts of expressions out of the corner of her eye.

He knew that the person who truly wanted to test him was hiding in the crowd, watching this spectacle.

Su Qing had no intention of finding that person.

The new captain only has five days to dock at Midway Island, after which he must leave port.

He's not in a hurry; it's those with ideas who are anxious.

In that case, why not wait for the enemy to tire themselves out?

Su Qing crossed the cement road but did not return to the dock. Instead, she went to the vicinity of the shopping street.

These Midway Atoll shops typically cater to only one type of person: rookie captains.

New captains are usually quite poor.

Therefore, the quality of the weapons displayed in the equipment store and the various props in the prop store is not very good.

Su Qing didn't care.

Whether it's equipment or items, he has better ways to obtain them.

He didn't come here to spend money on things he didn't need.

He stopped in front of a fairly large shop with a sign that simply read "Building Materials Store".

As soon as Su Qing stepped into the store, a group of shop assistants surrounded him. "Captain Su, how can we help you?"

Su Qing glanced at him and saw that although he was a crew member, his complexion was ruddy and his spirit was completely different from those outside.

"Buy some building materials."

"Okay, Captain Su, this way please."

Instead of immediately asking Su Qing what she needed, the shop assistant led Su Qing and Wang Yao to a private room.

The simple decor of the private room was nowhere near as good as the reception room in Ziloti.

Su Qing sat on the sofa without saying a word.

The shop assistant served tea. "Don't worry, Captain Su, this is also property of the Windrise Merchant Guild. No one would dare to eavesdrop."

Su Qing nodded, then opened the system panel to check the number of teaching materials he needed.
