Chapter 245： Pick a crew

"Very good! Count you in and stand behind me!" Long Xuandao.

"Yeah!" Miao Peipei showed a cute smile and walked over cheerfully. She looked like she had no scheming, and she looked at her heart. She really didn't look like a treacherous person.

Long Xuan looked at a hot and beautiful Gu cultivator behind him and said with a smile: "What unique skills do you have?"

Nie Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him and said: "I was the captain of the Rose and went to sea more than ten times. However, the Rose has now sunk and I have lost all the crew members."

“As a captain, I have rich experience in long voyages.”

"I think I can fill the position of your first mate. Is this unique skill enough?"

Long Xuan nodded. He was lacking this kind of talent. A man who had been a captain would be perfect to become his first mate.

“Have you ever done anything bad?” Long Xuan looked at her and asked again.

This issue is the most important. If a person's heart is not right, then it doesn't matter how good she is.

Nie Qingcheng raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Who in this world has never done a bad thing? Have you never done a bad thing?"

Hearing this, Long Xuan immediately thought of a bunch of bad things he had done in the past, such as coveting many things from the Long family, cheating on his senior sister's body, and damaging the Long family's sacred tree. There were too many.

Thinking about it this way, he was really heinous, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Nie Qingcheng added: "I have done many bad things, but I can promise that I will never have any ill intentions towards my teammates. I think this is enough for you!"

She looked at the Integrity Gu, which showed no response at this time.

Long Xuan also glanced at Honesty Gu, nodded and said: "You are right, you have passed the test, stand behind me!"

He turned his head and looked at another beautiful Gu cultivator with a cunning look in her eyes. There was something weird in her eyes. This woman looked like a restless master at first sight.

Before he could speak, the woman took the lead and said: "My name is Ye Qingluan, I am eighteen years old! I have many unique skills!"

"But what is useful at sea is that I have a pet dolphin. My big cloth can pull the boat and increase the speed of the boat."

“Besides, Dabu can also hunt for treasures on the seabed, and can also go to the front to detect whether there is any danger, and can also scare away many sea spiritual beasts. It has many functions!”

"And I only do bad things to bad people and never to good people. You have to have a lot of good people on your boat, so you can feel free to treat me."

After finishing speaking, she confidently looked at the Integrity Gu on Long Xuan's shoulder. As expected, the Integrity Gu's eyes did not shine, and she smiled.

Long Xuan nodded, this unique skill is indeed good. If you can control a dolphin at sea, it will have many uses and can avoid many dangers.

Using it to pull a boat is overkill, not to mention that he doesn't lack that bit of power.

He will also be determined to marry this woman.

Long Xuan nodded and said with a smile: "Is your surname Ye? This surname is good. I like people with the surname Ye. Since your surname is Ye, I'll count you as one and stand behind me!"

Next, Long Xuan interviewed several more people.

A scarred man named Qiu Tiandao became his fourth crew member. His unique skill was that he was good at hunting sea beasts and had experience in hunting whales and sharks.

In order to be able to eat seafood at any time at sea, this person was admitted by Long Xuan without hesitation.

The fifth crew member is a handsome man named Shangguan Wuwo. He has good cooking skills and wants to apply for the position of chef. Long Xuan is a foodie, otherwise he would not pay so much attention to Miao Peipei's ability, so this cook Long Xuan accepted it without hesitation.

The sixth crew member is a burly man named Xiong Dali. It is said that this man once served as an artillery officer in the Xuanyue Empire. He fired artillery very accurately and claimed that he had never missed a shot in his life.

Seeing how loudly he boasted, Long Xuan recruited him.

The rest are all Gu cultivators with no fighting power but no special skills. After being tested by the integrity Gu and found that their character passed the test, Long Xuan arranged for them to become sailors.

At this time, he has recruited a total of nine crew members, which is a bit small. After all, his threshold for boarding the ship is too high. One person who has not done bad things is enough to block most of the Gu cultivators in the world.

 Even the crew members he recruited at this time have basically done a few bad things, but they were all within his acceptable range.

So Long Xuan sent his avatars to act separately, and even went to various places in Xinghai City to recruit crew members. After wasting a day, he barely managed to recruit a hundred crew members with good character.

However, there are only two people with special abilities. One is an old ship doctor named Shi Jiefu.

This man has extremely superb medical skills, and in front of the integrity Gu, he is the only good person who has never done a bad thing at all. Long Xuan is extremely satisfied with this man.

The other one is a peerless beauty named Leng Yan. She is known as the most beautiful woman in Xinghai City. She is from the Leng family, one of the five major families in Xinghai City.

She is a scholar and knows a lot about the sea, including meteorology, so she applied for his position as a navigator.

Except for her, the rest of the people recruited are almost all male Gu cultivators.

Although many positions are still vacant, such as shipwrights, helmsmen...

But Long Xuan doesn't plan to wait any longer. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want these positions. He is fully qualified for them.

It’s almost time to recruit these people. The cabins for living in the Shenlong are almost full. After all, he is not building a very large ship.

At this time, Long Xuan waved his hand and shouted: "Let's go!"

Everyone behind him suddenly became excited and hurriedly followed. Everyone could not wait to go out to sea.

The crowd walked to the beach with a smile, and Long Xuan quickly placed the huge Shenlong on the sea in full view of everyone.

The bottom of the boat hit the sea hard, causing waves.

Obviously, no one expected that he actually had a storage space that was huge enough to fit a large ship. Such a large ship could not be easily accommodated by just any storage equipment.

It can be said that there is no way to carry a large ship with you, and there are very few storage devices of that size in the Gu world.

At this time, Nie Qingcheng, the first officer, looked at the ship and couldn't help but frown. Although the ship was very large, it could only be regarded as a medium-sized ship compared to other ships nearby.

It is a bit difficult for a ship of this size to sail on the high seas.

"Is this your boat? Did you know that the waves in some sea areas are as high as several feet, or even more than ten feet, which can easily capsize your boat. I'm afraid your boat has no ability to enter the open sea." Nie Qingcheng said with a somewhat disappointed tone. .

Hearing this, Long Xuan was shocked. The wave was several feet high. Are you sure it was a wave and not a tsunami?

Is there any sea area in this world with waves comparable to tsunamis? This is a bit scary. Thinking about that kind of scene makes him feel horrible. It seems that the sea in this world is much scarier than he imagined.

"It doesn't matter. My boat has the function of a submarine. If it encounters a tsunami, it can just sink to the bottom of the water. No matter how big the waves are, it can't do anything to us."

"Uh! The submarine function is the function of the ship that can swim underwater like a fish. This is the second form of the Shenlong. However, many power systems cannot be used in this form, which will cause the speed to be much slower and extremely energy-consuming. Yes!" Long Xuan explained patiently.

This is the function he developed by referring to the submarine in his previous life. He used the gravity array to press the ship into the water, then used the propeller as power, and then used the barrier to isolate the sea water. It became an alien-like submarine. It didn't seem too difficult. .

But it’s not that difficult for him, but in this world, such an idea is simply unreasonable and can shock everyone.

At this time, all the crew members were shocked. The boat could actually swim around underwater like a fish. This was the first time they had heard of this technology. Does such technology really exist in this world? How come they've never heard of it?

Everyone looked curious, as if the door to a new world had been opened, and they couldn't wait to run in, experience it, and see what kind of world it was deep under the sea.

"Is there a ship that can travel underwater? It's unheard of. There has never been such a ship since ancient times. You..."

Nie Qingcheng was about to say something questioning, but when she saw that the integrity Gu on his shoulder showed no reaction, she decisively shut her mouth.

Her heart stirred up a storm. Such incredible technology was actually real. When did this advanced technology appear? How come she never knew about it?

“Do you know how terrifying the water pressure in the sea is? Many of the wooden materials used on your boat are not the strongest, and many gaps cannot prevent the penetration of seawater.”

"If I guess correctly, are you planning to use a formation barrier to block the sea water?"

“But I can tell you clearly that the water pressure in the sea is much more terrifying than you think, not to mention the collision of many spiritual fish and sea beasts in the water.”

"Your boat is too small. Even if the hull is engraved with reinforcement formations, it can't stop the astonishing water pressure, let alone the collision of sea beasts." The one who spoke was Leng Yan, holding a hand in her arms. This is a thick book, the eyes are full of wisdom, and the whole body is full of intellectual beauty.

Long Xuan nodded. The navigator he chose was indeed knowledgeable enough, and he even knew about the high water pressure at the bottom of the sea.

You must know that the Gu cultivators in this world only know how to practice or fight, and how can they understand these knowledges.

“Don’t worry, even though my ship is small, its defense and speed are comparable to the largest ships in the world.”

“Don’t say that my ship dives into shallow waters, but when it dives into the deep sea, my Five Elements Barrier is enough to withstand the water pressure.”

Long Xuan said very confidently.

The barrier on his ship is not simple, it uses a five-element inverted formation.

The barrier raised by the Five Elements Upside Down Array is a barrier of five elements energy. The spiritual energy of the five elements circulates with each other and is endless. The barrier created is extremely difficult to break, and it can far exert the effect of the five elements, one plus five is greater than five. .

Not to mention that he used the Eye of Heaven to carve an array pattern that was over a hundred times larger. How could its barrier be easily crushed by a mere water pressure?

Leng Yan opened her mouth and was about to say something else. Seeing that the integrity Gu on Long Xuan's shoulder did not respond, she decisively closed her mouth.

Her calm face rarely showed a look of shock, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

How can this be? What happened to that little boat? Why is it so weird? This is a bit unreasonable!

The captain had just made it clear that the defense of this small ship was exaggeratedly comparable to the largest ship in the world. She was really shocked that the integrity Gu had no reaction to such an outrageous lie.

In the end, is this integrity Gu abnormal, or is this ship abnormal?

Leng Yan was stunned and couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly ran towards the ship, intending to carefully study what was going on.

However, when she ran onto the ship, she tried every means but could not see a single formation pattern. She couldn't help but look disappointed, secretly sighing that the ship's encryption method was very powerful.

In order to prevent the crew from seeing the array patterns and thus finding the ship's weaknesses, every ship has encryption means that can hide the array patterns so that the crew cannot see them with the naked eye.

So she subconsciously thought that the ship had used very advanced encryption methods to prevent her from seeing the formation patterns clearly.

Long Xuan showed a proud smile at this time. Unless she also had eyes that could magnify objects, she would be too exhausted to find out the secrets of this ship.

At this time, the rest of the crew were originally skeptical about the ship's ability to support long sea voyages, and were considering whether to board the pirate ship.

However, seeing that the captain said that the ship's defense was comparable to the largest ship, Honesty Gu showed no reaction, so they finally put away their uneasiness and walked towards the ship together.

They actually would rather believe that there is a ship in this world that goes against common sense than believe that there is an Integrity Gu that is ineffective against lies.

Just as Long Xuan was about to walk towards the boat, he suddenly saw a figure walking towards the boat. He couldn't help but be startled!

“Huh? What’s the matter with you?”

“Stop!”

Long Xuan hurriedly stopped the strong man who was possessed by the spiritual Gu, but he didn't expect that this man was still following him.

“I want to get on the boat too, otherwise you will take off and never come back. The world is so big, where can I find you?” Yang Zhan looked into his eyes and asked.

Long Xuan had no choice but to take out the Integrity Gu from the breeding bag again and asked him, "Have you ever done anything bad in your life?"

Long Xuan looked at him seriously. This man had a fierce aura and had obviously killed many people. There was probably a mountain of people who died in his hands.

Moreover, he has a hideous scar on his face, which doesn’t look like a good person.

Yang Zhan raised the corner of his mouth, looked at Long Xuan and smiled: "What is good and what is evil, can your integrity Gu really tell the difference accurately?"

“Just like the group of people you just recruited, they said they have never done bad things, have they really not done bad things?”

“In order to refine the poison, they let a group of spiritual insects kill each other, and countless creatures died in their hands. In the eyes of the spiritual insects, they are bad people.”

“When they eat the meat of chickens, ducks and fish, it is a matter of course to them, but in the eyes of chickens, ducks and fish, they are all bad people.”

"So good and evil all depend on how the individual defines it. They can escape the detection of the Integrity Gu just because they think they are good people. Since they did not lie, the Integrity Gu will naturally not shine."

"Although there are already a mountain of people who have died in my hands, I think I am a good person and I have never done anything bad!"

Yang Zhan looked at the Honesty Gu. After hearing his words, the Honesty Gu didn't shine. He raised the corners of his mouth, missed Long Xuan, and walked onto the boat.

Long Xuan was stunned. The integrity Gu really didn't shine. This big killer who killed countless people turned out to be a good person. This was outrageous.

The outrageous **** opened the door out of time, and the outrageous was home!

Does it all depend on how one defines good or bad? This sentence is insightful and philosophical.

Long Xuan thought deeply, and he suddenly thought of a question that was often asked in his previous life, that is, whether there are more good people or more bad people in this world.

His subconscious answer was half and half, but if eating chicken, duck, and fish is considered a bad thing, then there are no good people in this world at all!

Long Xuan shook his head and finally walked towards the boat.

At this time, all the crew members were excitedly walking around the ship, running into various cabins, admiring this strange and weird ship.

This ship uses many modern designs from the past, and many things on the ship are incompatible with this world.

For example, modern toilets, water heaters, shower heads for bathing... they are all things they have never seen before.

The various new things on board are enough to arouse the interest of all the crew members. They all look left and right like curious babies.

Especially Leng Yan, a scholar who was very interested in knowledge, was most interested in this strange ship and went to various ship rooms to study it.

The ship docked on the shore for about ten minutes. After all the crew members became familiar with the basic operations of the ship, following the captain Long Xuan's order, the ship's sails slowly began to operate under the control of a group of sailors. Rise, finally set sail.

Long Xuan stood on the special seat at the bow of the ship, clasping his hands behind his back and looking into the distance, letting the sea breeze ruffle his hair.

This is his first time to go to sea, and he is full of expectations for the rest of his life at sea. He hopes that the next strange journey will not disappoint him...

Just when he was looking forward to the next life at sea, suddenly the sky darkened and there was a chaotic vibration in his ears.

He frowned and immediately looked back. The scene in front of him shocked his heart.

At this time, a huge seven-story treasure ship was approaching from behind at an extremely fast speed.

This giant ship is so huge that it actually has seven floors, far exceeding the largest five-story treasure ship in the Xinghai City port.

Comparing the Shenlong to this giant ship, the Shenlong is like an ant and an elephant. The highest point of the Shenlong is far from reaching the deck of the ship.

The giant ship slowly passed by the Shenlong, and the Shenlong was swaying under the interference of the huge waves.

At this time, the guard rails on the deck of this huge ship were crowded with Gu cultivators. They were densely packed. A rough estimate was that the number of Gu cultivators on it was at least ten thousand. However, judging from their clothes, it seemed that they were not from the same force or the same region.

What are the people on this boat going to do? How can you be in the same direction as yourself? Could it be that this is also a ship bound for Tiandao?

Long Xuan’s scalp is numb? He suddenly felt that it was a bit too little to lead such a hundred people.

These hundred people are not enough for me to make a fraction of my salary. Is it possible that I could drown my entire group with just one breath of spitting?

You have encountered such a terrifying competitor when you first started traveling. How many large ships of this level will you encounter when you wait to Tiandao? Long Xuan was no longer calm.

At this time, everyone on the Shenlong raised their heads and stared at the giant ship, their eyes full of shock. Even if they lived by the sea, this was the first time they had seen such a huge ship. It was so big that everyone was shocked.

The people behind the guardrail of the giant ship also looked down at the Shenlong below and pointed below. The crowd burst into laughter, and some people kept whistling at the bottom.

“Hahaha…what a small boat. If you dare to go to Tiandao in such a small boat, aren’t you going to die?”

"Haha...where did this little thing come from? Don't rush to die when you are so young."

"Little beauty on the boat, this boat is not safe and can easily capsize. Do you want to get on my brother's boat? My brother loves you!"

"Hahaha…"

There was loud laughter again on the huge ship... (End of this chapter)
