Navigator: I have a double six-story house

The once quiet and secluded haven of the chamber of commerce is now bustling with activity.

The area outside the barbed wire fence was crowded with crew members who came to watch the spectacle.

Inside the barbed wire fence, the Chamber of Commerce's moving team carried things onto the Sunshine in an orderly manner, and two Dragon Breath Cannons were carefully secured to the sides of the cabin.

The accompanying gunpowder barrels and shell boxes were also moved into the warehouse, where they were piled up almost like a small mountain.

In addition, the warehouse was filled with food and fresh water.

The crew members who were lying outside the barbed wire fence had their eyes shining as they watched the cargo-carrying teams coming and going.

"Wow, this is the treatment for big shots! The chamber of commerce helps them move their stuff?"

"Is that the main point? Isn't the main point those two cannons?"

"I have never seen a captain who could equip the ship with cannons on Midway Island."

"Alas, the difference between captains is sometimes greater than the difference between a person and a dog."

murmurs rose and fell, and envious glances practically pierced through the Sunny.

After the gambling session, some people wanted to join this future captain with dual talents.

Then, this big shot has been staying at the Wind Breath Chamber of Commerce's outpost for the past few days and hasn't come out at all, and they aren't qualified to go in.

Today, I finally managed to meet this big shot, and it was at the Chamber of Commerce's independent port, surrounded by armed men, so I didn't even have a chance to get close.

Su Qing, who was envied by all the crew members present, was standing in the cabin, looking at the two cannons with a slight frown.

Now that the Sunny's long-range firepower problem has been solved, new problems have arisen.

To ensure a certain rate of fire, both cannons require at least four gunners.

One cannon requires two people: one to aim and the other to load.

There are only three people on the boat now, and with the younger sister who is about to board, there will only be four people.

If Selena were added to the gunner roster, there would be no one to steer the ship.

This is not a small problem.

As Su Qing was pondering how to resolve this manpower shortage, a series of exclamations suddenly came from around the port.

"Holy crap, what's that?"

"Was that person dragging... a corpse?"

Su Qing peered out through the gap next to the cannon muzzle on the ship's cabin.

Wang Yao dragged Han Ce's body out of the cold storage.

The corpse gleamed bluish-white in the sunlight, frozen stiff, and Wang Yao walked toward the boat as if dragging a dead fish without a care.

The port was immediately bombed.

Su Qing smiled. That's right, I have a solution.

He turned and went into the cabin, taking out a material package of bone from the storage space.

In a corner of the cabin, Su Qing pulled out the architectural blueprints that were emitting black smoke.

[Special Structure: Bone-Eating Cave]

[Effect: Throwing the remains of slain enemy units into the Bone-Eater's Lair can convert them into "Hungry Minions"]

[Hungry Servant: Subject to the captain's absolute control, attributes are linked to the original strength of the wreckage thrown in]

As materials were added, the ground began to twist, and black mist emerged from the cracks, gradually condensing into a grotesque shape.

It was a cave made of bones and black iron, looking like a monster that had crawled out of some abyss, its hungry mouth wide open, waiting to be fed.

Looking at the building that exuded an evil aura, Su Qing thought of the name she had chosen for her ship, "Sunshine".

Hmm...that makes sense!

Who cares if it looks weird or not, as long as it works.

Moreover, very few of the buildings on his ship were proper.

Wang Yao happened to be dragging the corpse in when the two of them looked at each other but said nothing.

Su Qing pointed to the twisted cave, and Wang Yao threw Han Ce's corpse directly into the black cave.

A system notification appears:

[Converting... Estimated time: 24 hours]

Su Qing stepped out of the cabin; the resupply operation was almost complete.

The Chamber of Commerce's moving team was leaving, and Selena was checking the inventory of supplies on the deck.

It's time to go.

Just then, a familiar figure appeared on the dock.

Luther was followed by his two bodyguards.

He was carrying a burlap sack, the fabric of which was soaked through and emitted an unpleasant odor.

Su Qing took the initiative to walk over.

"Mr. Luther," he said calmly, a smile on his face, "is he here to see me off?"

His gaze fell on the burlap sack, his eyes showing no emotion.

"Is this a parting gift? I'm so sorry, Mr. Luther has already given me so many."

Luther was not angry when he heard Su Qing's words.

He wore his signature gentle smile, as if nothing had happened.

"Captain Su," his voice remained gentle, "there's an old saying from your hometown... 'It's never wrong to be polite.'"

He opened the sack, which contained five human heads.

Su Qing recognized one of them; it was Luo Wei, who had previously tried to seduce him.

Her eyes were still wide open, and her deathly gaze was exactly like Han Ce's.

Su Qing didn't recognize the other four heads, but he could guess that they were crew members under Han Ce.

Or rather, former crew members.

Su Qing was silent for a moment, and in an instant, he understood everything.

Luther did not come to demonstrate, but to show goodwill.

Luther was not demonstrating his power, but rather his "loyalty".

Or rather, it's about showing the kindness of the person behind you.

Just as I had expected.

This scheme was far more complex than it seemed; Selena's father was indeed formidable.

Su Qing began to admire the forces that dared to oppose Selena's father; they actually dared to go against that old fox.

Luther pushed up his glasses.

There's a saying in Mr. Su's hometown: "If you don't cut the weeds at the root, they'll grow back in the spring breeze."

"How is it, Captain Su? Are you satisfied?"

Su Qing smiled, but shook her head.

I am not satisfied with this gift.

Luther's smile froze. Could it be that Captain Sue was a "saint"?

Su Qing was satisfied to see the frozen smile on Luther's face, and then continued speaking.

"I'd be satisfied if there was a complete body."

Luther smiled too, a smile of understanding, as if the two were exchanging some unspeakable secret.

"It will be delivered soon."

He turned and left, leaving the sack behind.

Two hours later, five reassembled bodies were brought into the cabin.

Su Qing didn't give him a second glance, but simply nodded to Wang Yao.

Without hesitation, Wang Yao threw them all into the Bone-Eating Cave.

The system notification reappeared, this time showing the conversion progress of the six remains.

Su Qing walked onto the deck, watching the harbor gradually recede into the distance, and the Midway Islands slowly coming into view.

Selena was already standing in front of the steering wheel, ready to set sail.

"Weigh anchor," Su Qing ordered.

The Sunshine slowly left the dock, its sails billowing, and sailed towards the open sea.

Su Qing took the invitation out of his pocket, his fingers lightly tracing the edge of the envelope.

Little sister, it's time to take you home.
