Chapter 245 Choosing Crew

Chapter 245 Choosing Crew

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

"Yeah!" Miao Peipei showed a lovely smile and walked over happily, with a look of no scheming. Her appearance is determined by her heart. She does not look like a treacherous and evil person.

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

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

"As a captain, I have rich experience in long-distance voyages."

"I think I can be qualified for your position as the first mate. Is this special skill enough?"

Long Xuan nodded. He lacked this kind of talent. A person who had been a captain was the most suitable person to be his first mate.

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

This question is the most important. If a person's heart is not right, then her ability is useless.

Nie Qingcheng raised the corner of his mouth and said playfully: "Who in this world has never done anything bad? Have you never done anything bad?"

Hearing this, Long Xuan immediately thought of a bunch of bad things he had done, such as embezzling a lot of 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 of this, he was really unforgivable, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Nie Qingcheng said again: "I have done a lot of bad things, but I can promise that I will never have any malice towards my teammates. I think this is enough for you!"

She looked at the Integrity Gu, which had no reaction at this time.

Long Xuan also looked at the Integrity Gu, nodded and said: "You are right, you pass 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 a sense of eccentricity in her eyes. This woman was a restless master at first glance.

Before he could speak, the woman took the lead and said, "My name is Ye Qingluan, I'm eighteen this year! I have many unique skills!"

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

"And the big cloth can also search for treasures in the sea, and can also go to the front to detect whether there is any danger, and can also scare away many sea beasts. It has many uses!"

"And I only do bad things to bad people, never to good people. You have to put a lot of good people on your ship, so you can rest assured about me."

After she finished speaking, she looked confidently at the honesty Gu on Long Xuan's shoulder. As expected, the honesty Gu's eyes did not glow, and she smiled.

Long Xuan nodded. This unique skill is really good. If you can control a dolphin at sea, it will be too useful and can avoid many dangers.

Using it to pull the boat is a waste of talent, not to mention that he doesn't lack that little power.

He is also going to decide on 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, you are one of them. Stand behind me!"

Next, Long Xuan interviewed several people one after another.

A scarred man named Qiu Tiandao became his fourth crew member. His unique skill is to hunt sea beasts and has experience in hunting whales and sharks.

In order to be able to eat seafood at any time on the sea, this person was accepted 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 attach so much importance to Miao Peipei's ability, so Long Xuan accepted this chef without hesitation.

The sixth crew member is a burly man named Xiong Dali. It is said that this person has been an artillery commander in the Xuanyue Empire. He is extremely accurate in firing cannons and claims that he has never missed a shot in his life.

Seeing that he brags so loudly, Long Xuan also recruited him.

The rest were all Gu cultivators who had only combat power but no special skills. After being tested by the Integrity Gu and finding that they had good character, Long Xuan arranged them all to be sailors.

At this time, he recruited only nine crew members, which was really a bit too few. After all, his threshold for boarding was too high. One person who had not done anything bad was enough to block most of the Gu cultivators in this world.

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

So Long Xuan sent his clones to act separately, and even went to various places in Xinghai City to recruit crew members everywhere. After wasting a day, he barely recruited 100 crew members with good character.

However, there were only two people with special abilities, one of whom was an old ship doctor named Shi Jiefu.

This person had extremely superb medical skills, and in front of the Integrity Gu, he was the only good person who had never done anything bad. Long Xuan was very satisfied with this person.

The other was a peerless beauty named Leng Yan, who was known as the most beautiful woman in Xinghai City and was born in the Leng family, one of the five major clans in Xinghai City.

She was a scholar who knew a lot about the sea, including meteorology, so she applied for his position as a navigator.

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

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

But Long Xuan didn't plan to wait any longer. It didn't matter if these positions were not available, he could do them himself.

It was almost time to recruit these people. The cabins in the Shenlong were almost full. After all, he didn't build a super-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 to sea.

Everyone 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 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 such large storage spiritual weapons in the Gu world.

At this time, Nie Qingcheng, the first mate, looked at the ship and couldn't help but frown. Although the ship was large, it could only be regarded as a medium-sized model 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?

Are there any sea areas 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 simply unheard of. This kind of ship has never appeared 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.

There was a storm in her heart. 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, you are planning to use the formation's barrier to block the sea water, right?"

"But I can tell you clearly that the water pressure in the sea is much more terrifying than you think, not to mention that there are 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. She was holding a thick book, her eyes were full of wisdom, and her whole body was full of intellectual beauty.

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

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

"Don't worry about this. Although 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 inversion 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 out a formation pattern that was over a hundred times larger. How could its barrier be easily crushed by a mere amount of water pressure?

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

A rare look of shock appeared on her calm face, and a turmoil arose in her heart.

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.

Is this integrity Gu abnormal, or is this ship abnormal?

Leng Yan was stunned and couldn't bear it any longer. 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 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, but Honesty Gu showed no response, they finally put away their uneasiness and walked towards the ship together.

They 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!

"Eh? What's wrong 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 the boat and leave, never to 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 so much evil energy that he had obviously killed many people. There was probably a mountain of people who died in his hands.

And there is 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 said with a smile: "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 never done bad things?"

"In order to refine the Gu, they let a group of spiritual insects kill each other. Countless creatures died in their hands. In the eyes of the spiritual insects, they are bad people."

"When they eat chicken, duck and fish, it seems to them to be a matter of course, but in the eyes of the chicken, duck 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 at my hands, I consider myself a good person and I have never done anything bad!"

Yang Zhan looked at the Honesty Gu. The Honesty Gu didn't glow after hearing his words. 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 mother opens the door for outrageousness, outrageousness is at home!

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

Long Xuan thought deeply, and suddenly he 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 could be considered a bad thing, then there would be no good people in this world!

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

At this time, all the crew members were excitedly walking around the ship and running into various cabins to admire 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, and everyone looks 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, there was a huge seventh-floor treasure ship approaching from behind at an extremely fast speed.

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

Compared with 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 this 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. It was roughly estimated that the number of Gu cultivators on it was at least 10,000. However, looking at the 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 feels numb? He suddenly felt that it was a bit too little to lead such a hundred people.

Just a hundred people are not enough for me to make a fraction of my salary. Is it possible for me to drown my whole group of people with just one breath of spitting?

I encountered such a terrifying competitor when I first started traveling. How many ships of this level will I encounter when I wait for the island? 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, pointing below. The crowd burst into laughter, and some people kept whistling below.

"Hahaha... It's such 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 one come from? Don't rush to die at such a young age."

"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 another burst of laughter on the huge ship... (End of this chapter)
