Navigator: I have a double six-story house

Chapter 76 Exclusive Berth

The moment the Sunny crossed that dividing line, the moonlight behind it disappeared.

It was as if they had come from a regular flight route.

The warm sunlight hit me, scattering sparse golden rays across the sea.

The salty, fishy smell in the air had faded considerably, replaced by a warm breeze carrying the scent of vegetation.

Su Qing squinted, her pupils adjusting to the sudden change in light.

Midway Island is within reach.

The Midway Island was much larger than he had expected; he had assumed all Midway Islands were the same size.

These are things that are never mentioned in books; you can only discover them by experiencing them firsthand.

Selena, who was ordered to clean the deck, had long since forgotten where she had thrown the mop.

She sat on a wooden tub on the deck, knees together, with the laptop Su Qing had always wanted on her lap.

The screen light reflected on her face as her fingers flew across the keyboard.

Su Qing only glanced at it and did not go over to spy.

He and this young lady Fengxi always had a magical understanding regarding not invading other people's privacy.

Su Qing leaned against the ship's railing, letting the sea breeze mess up her half-dry hair.

The thing on my mind is an invitation.

Suya is still on Earth, and now that everything is back on track, it's time to bring her on board.

The ways to obtain invitations are nothing more than specific tasks, special shops, or drops from certain Journey to the West dungeons.

Midway Island, as an important node on the shipping route, should have trading channels.

Whether or not you can get your hands on one depends on luck.

"nailed it."

Selena closed her laptop, jumped off the barrel, and stuffed the computer back into the small leather bag that seemed impossible to fit in.

Before Su Qing could speak, Wang Yao leaned closer.

He had long since changed out of his plate armor and was now wearing a loose white linen shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing his muscular forearms.

"Did you get what sorted out?"

Selena held up one finger, smiling broadly.

"We've already contacted the person in charge at the site, and the designated berth is ready. We can just drive right in."

"It's free."

Wang Yao was taken aback and looked Selena up and down.

"Sure, junior."

"You even have this kind of resource?"

He clicked his tongue, his tone tinged with admiration.

"Looks like you did a lot of serving tea and water back in the Chamber of Commerce."

Selena chuckled, put her hands behind her back, and tapped her toes on the deck.

"Of course, I often serve tea and water to the president."

Wang Yao looked at Selena with a shocked expression.

"President?"

"You still have contact with the president?"

Selena's smile became even sweeter.

"Yes, the president is very nice and takes good care of me."

Su Qing stood to one side with her back against the ship's railing, expressionless.

That's perfectly reasonable.

Isn't it only natural for a father to treat his own daughter well?

Wang Yao clearly hadn't thought that way; instead, he patted Selena on the shoulder, speaking in a tone of someone who'd been there before.

"But then again..."

"He's just a chamber of commerce president."

He tilted his chin toward Su Qing.

"Work hard with my Su-zai."

"I'll try my best to get the president of the Wind Breeze Chamber of Commerce to serve you tea and water in the future."

A sea breeze swept by, and the air on the deck of the Sunshine became still.

Su Qing's lips twitched, but in the end she said nothing.

Selena blinked and nodded seriously.

"Um!"

"I will keep working hard, and I'll wait for that day!"

Su Qing turned around, looking at the port that was getting closer and closer, not wanting to see the scene behind her.

Even the young lady herself isn't acting anymore, so why don't you take a look?

Private parking spaces are readily available; if this were something an ordinary employee could do, then the Fengxi Chamber of Commerce's entry requirements would be far too low.

Never mind.

It's better not to clear up some misunderstandings.

At least for now, Wang Yao feels no burden in his relationship with Selena.

Use them when they need to be used, and punish them when they need to be punished.

Let's wait until Wang Yao gains his intelligence and discovers it himself someday.

Under Selena's control, the Sunshine bypassed the public dock area and sailed into a secluded area on the east side of the port, separated by an iron fence.

There are only eight berths in this separate waterway, and three ships are currently moored there.

Two of the ships were merchant vessels, with the emblem of the Windrise Merchant Guild hanging on their masts.

But another ship caught Su Qing's attention.

Because it was a second-class ship, a single-masted ship of the same specifications as the Sun.

Another ship that cooperates with the Wind Breeze Merchant Guild?

The idea only flashed through Su Qing's mind briefly before disappearing.

The Sunshine slowly approached the berth, and Wang Yaoli threw out the rope, which got tangled in the mooring bollard on the dock.

The three disembarked one by one. The moment Su Qing's feet touched the dock, a strange sense of solidity came from the soles of her feet.

After drifting at sea for so long, it felt strange to step onto solid ground again.

At the dock, people had been waiting for a long time.

A young man wearing a dark blue robe jogged over.

He had neat short hair, a handsome face, and a smile on his lips.

He walked up to Selena and bowed slightly.

"Miss Selena, it's been a long time."

The tone was respectful, but neither servile nor arrogant.

Selena nodded and smiled slightly, but the smile was more reserved and serious than the unrestrained one she had on the ship.

"You've worked hard, Luther."

The young man named Luther straightened up, turned his gaze to Su Qing, quickly sized her up, and then extended his right hand.

"Captain Su Qing."

Luther's smile became more genuine.

"Your name has already spread throughout the Windbreak Merchant Guild. It is Luther's honor to see you again."

"I am the steward of the Windbreak Merchant Guild's Midway Island branch. For the next few days, you three can contact me for any matters on the island, whether it's procurement, information, or anything else...

Su Qing held his hand, but felt uneasy.

After all, the experience of being tricked by that old fox Zloty last time was still fresh in my mind.

However, he still replied on the surface.

"This is troublesome."

Luther released his hand and turned to the side, making a "please" gesture.

"You've all had a long journey, so I've arranged a place for you to rest at the post. If you're not in a hurry, you can take a break first. If you have any shopping lists you need, please let me know in advance, and I'll have someone prepare them."

Su Qing nodded and followed him deeper into the dock.

Luther led the way, his pace neither too fast nor too slow.

As Su Qing passed the second-class ship, she glanced at it out of the corner of her eye and noticed that the deck was completely empty.

He asked it casually.

"Was that ship also a partner of your chamber of commerce?"

Luther followed his gaze and paused in his tracks.

He turned around, still smiling.

"That captain... does indeed have a cooperative relationship with our chamber of commerce."

He paused for a moment.

"However, Captain Su Qing, regarding that ship..."

Luther considered his words carefully.

"That captain's style is completely different from yours. If you encounter him on the island, I suggest you... keep your distance."
