Chapter 9 The Joy of the Ship Soul at the same time. Joy, who was enjoying the drying treatment, was also secretly surprised by Xia En's ability to control water. “Is this also one of the abilities of the Mystic?” “As expected of Mr. Captain!” Due to the current situation of the world, occupations closely related to the ocean account for nearly half of the thirty-two secret routes. Many secret professions have the ability to control sea water. This is why Xia En dared to use his talent in front of her. After a while, Joey's clothes became dry again and his mood finally stabilized. “Thank you, Captain.”
The girl lowered her head and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "I want to go to the room and rest for a while." Xia En nodded: "Go." After Joey left, Shane turned to look at the sea around him. I have to say that after the initial novelty, sea voyage itself is actually a boring and boring thing. Most of the time, the surrounding sea remains unchanged and not even an island is visible. Not to mention, the Black Swan is still anchored in the same place. Looking at the half-painted deck, Xia En sighed: "It's idle time, so just finish painting it!" He has always been a man of action and does what he says. It’s amazing. When Xia En started cleaning, he felt a sense of joy from the deck, as if he was enjoying the process. Shaan En understood something in his heart. For most sailors, the "ship soul" is just an illusory thing, like a spiritual sustenance. There are very few people who can truly communicate with the ship spirit. After awakening the [Eye of the Secret Sea], he established an extremely close connection with the Ship Soul. In other words, the [Black Swan] cannot simply be regarded as a dead object, but should be regarded as a partner with a soul! Do you understand what a bond is? In the future, maybe we can even develop exciting combo skills! Thinking about this, Xia En became more energetic. After the entire deck was completely renewed, feelings of relief and gratitude came from somewhere.
The ship soul is delighted! 【Your actions have touched the soul of the "Black Swan"! 】 【Ship Spirit Level: LV1 (6%)】 【Black Swan "Sturdiness" +1! 】 At the same time as the ship's attributes increased, the gentle warmth flowed out of his heart again, strengthening Xia En's body. Not only does the skin become tougher, but the physical fitness is also enhanced. “Good, good, good, worthy of being my soul mate!” Xia En looked surprised and touched the deck under his feet with a smile: "When we have money, we will definitely replace you with good equipment." Another hint of childish intimacy came through. After coaxing the ship spirit, Xia En was also hungry. He packed up his things and walked back to the cabin. He found that Joey's door was closed and it seemed that he would not come out for a while. “Looks like I have to cook today.” Xia En felt helpless and finally realized the trouble of lack of manpower. Originally, chores such as cleaning the deck and cooking meals do not require the captain to do it himself? “After returning to the island, I still have to find a way to recruit a few people.” Thinking of this, Xia En couldn't help but recall the situation when he was abandoned by his previous sailors, and added in his heart: "It's better to say whether you are strong or weak, the key is to be reliable!" Walking to the kitchen, Xia En cut the crabs into eight pieces and put them into the pot to steam them in batches. Ingredients like this, as long as they are fresh enough, the taste is generally not that bad. Facts have proved that Shane’s experience is right. As soon as the pot is opened, a unique seafood aroma wafts out. He casually opened a crab leg as thick as an arm, revealing the plump crab meat inside. The snow-white crab meat has a slight pink color, and it trembles and trembles, which is very attractive. Xia En couldn't wait to take a bite. It was sweet and tender. It was a delicacy in the world. It was so delicious that he almost swallowed it on his tongue. Although the taste of shark soup is okay, it is far behind compared to sea crab. “The meat of alienated sea beasts seems to be generally more tender than ordinary sea creatures?” Xia En had a strange expression: "A foodie who is ecstatic is a yes." Then he took great pains to open the back cover of the giant crab. A lump of crab roe bigger than a human head came into view, and he was so greedy that his mouth watered. Taking a bite of this thing, it smells bad and makes you confused? So, Xia En sat in the kitchen and ate hard.
I'll ride on the horse and eat! The only problem is that the crab is too big. Although Xia En's appetite has increased significantly after his physical fitness has improved, it is still unrealistic to eat a whole cancer crab. He had no choice but to cook the whole crabs as much as possible to slightly extend their shelf life. “It smells so good!” Half an hour later, Xia En patted his belly and felt extremely satisfied. It was really a pleasure to have such a crab meal. “Oh yes, I almost forgot about my only crew member.” Out of the boss' concern for his employees, Shane came to the door of Joey's room and knocked on the door. “Joey, I caught another big crab today, do you want to try it?” 咚! There was a muffled sound in the room first, like someone falling off the bed. Then, Joey's voice sounded weakly: "Captain, I understand, I will go to the kitchen to get it later." Xia En didn't think much about it. He just thought she had just woken up, so he quickly turned around and left. What Shane doesn’t know is— In the room, Joey was slumped on the floor, his tense expression gradually relaxing. She breathed a sigh of relief: "It's so dangerous...if the captain breaks in, it will be over." The reason why she didn't stand up was not that she didn't want to stand up, but that she couldn't do it. At this time, the girl's body below the waist was no longer two slender legs, but turned into a fish-like tail. Smooth and white scales cover it, like pieces of crystal jade, which appear delicate and beautiful, with a faint aura from the deep sea. In some people, the siren is also called... Mermaid! … … the next day. Although not at the same time, it is the same place. Shane began to dive again. As soon as he entered the perspective of the projection body, he discovered that the progress bar representing [Ship Soul Power] in his field of vision seemed to have grown a little longer. “It should be because the [Sturdiness] attribute has increased a bit?”
Xia En speculated in his mind, kept moving his body, and quickly dived to the vicinity of the sunken ship. With a quick glance, he found the big iron hook that he had dropped yesterday. I have to say that this thing is quite useful underwater. It is heavy and hard, and it can also deal armor-piercing damage at critical moments. The disadvantage is that it is too heavy. If Xia En had not obtained the ship attribute, he would not be able to control it. Hold the big iron hook, Xia En hurriedly swam towards the cabin, hoping to avenge the giant crab yesterday. But who would have thought that he actually missed it. The cabin was empty, with no sign of the giant crab at all. Thinking about it, either it went out to look for food temporarily, or it abandoned this shelter. “Hmph, you can escape quickly!” Xia En put away the iron hook with some disappointment and officially began to explore the inside of the sunken ship. Since the submersible time was limited, Xia En went straight to the captain's cabin in the cabin. Generally speaking, the most valuable things on the entire ship are often stored here. Xia En couldn't help but frown as he pushed open the half-opened door and saw the sight. (End of this chapter)
