Global Navigation: If I can cheat, I can do whatever I want

Chapter 14 "Blackwater and Fishing"

Insufficient crew is a problem that every captain will face, but this is only temporary and will be effectively solved after exploring a few more islands.

Whether it's the trade island he just mentioned or some magical items, it can add fresh blood to the currently deserted fleet.

"Understood, Captain."

Marquis nodded, and then ordered a few sailors, including himself, to get to the new ship.

The Black Forest has Tina and Qiao Yang on board, so there is no need to worry about its combat effectiveness, but the new ship is different. If there is not a person who is strong enough to guard the scene, there may be big problems.

Therefore, he, the second combat force, was naturally assigned to the new ship by Qiao Yang, and it was only a temporary fill-in, and he would have to be transferred back when more people were recruited later.

"Boss Qiao, why don't you give the new ship a name?"

At some point, Tina had gotten off the boat and was standing behind Qiao Yang.

"Well, what's the name? Let's call it Blackwater. It's just right. Come with me. There's still a little trouble that needs to be dealt with here. Maybe we can bring a few slaves back, so we won't worry about running out of manpower."

Qiao Yang thought of the murloc Yasiel had discovered, and couldn't help but smile with an evil smile, which sent chills down the backs of everyone present.

I don’t know the reason, but someone must be in trouble.

After saying that, Qiao Yang took the first step and walked towards the south of the island. Tina also followed decisively. There was no movement in the exposed eyes, but if you look carefully, you will find a trace of shyness.

Except for Qiao Yang and Tina, the rest of the people also became familiar with the Blackwater. After all, it was also a brand new ship, and Qiao Yang was built according to the specifications of a supply ship, which was quite different from the Black Forest.

………………

"Blackwater": a small three-masted supply sailing ship, a medium-sized ship driven by mysterious energy. It can adapt to most waters, but its performance in headwinds is not very good.

Hull weapons: None

Comprehensive combat strength: ★☆

Functional buildings: captain's cabin, kitchen, observation deck, bridge, sailor's cabin (number 4), supply cabin (number 18).

Headsail (Quantity 1)

Spinnaker (Quantity 1)

Flexibility: ★★ (Sacrifice some flexibility to be able to carry more cargo, but also more flexible than ordinary ships.)

………………

This is the Blackwater panel that Qiao Yang saw on the fleet panel. Generally speaking, it is not much different from the Black Forest. The most important thing is that the Blackwater can also summon crew members.

However, since some entries are still cooling down, the number of summons cannot be compared to the Black Forest. This is enough. Qiao Yang is not greedy.

Moreover, the Blackwater is just the beginning, but it is limited by the current lack of manpower. Otherwise, Qiao Yang would have already started to detonate troops. For other captains, every summoning quota he has is extremely precious.    If you don’t feel it, then Marquis and Tina will find out.

Since the Silent Bay had been completely emptied, Qiao Yang quickly arrived at the southern coast. With just a glance, he found some interesting traces.

Walking forward, Qiao Yang stopped at several densely packed rocks. Sure enough, he found the same scales as before in several sharp places.

"That's right, Tina, prepare to fight and try to catch as many alive as possible. These are all good coolies. It would be bad if they die."

Tina nodded and casually picked up the dagger at her waist with the scabbard in her hand. After all, according to the information given by Qiao Yang, the strength of these shoal murlocs was really unbearable, and it would be easier to display them with the scabbard.

When Qiao Yang saw this, he did not hesitate. He took out the animal blood contained in coconut shells from his backpack. They were all made from local materials on the island and were easy to use.

As fresh blood continues to flow into the sea, the strong smell of blood echoes along the southern coast along with the sea breeze.

It didn't take long for several "fish heads" to emerge from the bottom of the sea one by one. After discovering the two people "alone" on the shore, these guys immediately became excited.

"Quack, quack, wa-la-la!"

"Hoora, groo!"

"..."

Qiao Yang listened to the wonderful language of these shallow fish people and couldn't help feeling that this kind of pronunciation was still too advanced for him.

As a new adventurer, he still has some privileges in the Infinite Sea, such as knowing the language, which allows him to understand foreign languages.

In addition, there is barrier-free communication, and what he says can also be understood by foreigners.

But this privilege only lasts until the end of the newcomer period. After officially entering the endless sea, language is still a big problem.

However, after so many years of development, human forces have already had solutions. If you don’t understand or speak, then learn.

At least Qiao Yang has been exposed to at least 500 languages ​​since he came to this world and officially started learning, and has studied five mainstream languages ​​​​in depth, including Endless Sea Common Language, Abyss Language, Celestial Language, Continental Common Language, and Sea Clan Common Language. Lingua Franca, he even learned more than a hundred other niche languages.

This is due to Qiao Yang's outstanding language talent, which is pretty good in both his previous life and this life, so even if he doesn't rely on language proficiency, he can still understand what these shallow murlocs are saying.

"It's a lone human. Let's capture him directly so that the tribe can have fresh meat!"

"You are really no different from a sunfish! What are we going to do? Are we going to die? Let's inform the boss!"

This advanced communication method shocked Qiao Yang. Sure enough, this kind of creature with a brain but not much is only suitable for being a coolie.

After the two fishmen had an exchange, they quickly retreated. Qiao Yang threw the coconut shell aside, picked up the gravel on the shore and splashed in the water in boredom.

If there wasn't really a shortage of people, he really didn't want to bring this group of obviously stupid guys into the fleet.

Soon, there was a wave of waves on the sea surface, and Qiao Yang, who was in a daze, unconsciously threw a stone a little harder.

What came this time was not the crisp sound of water, but a muffled thud, and then a short shoal murloc with a fish head and body slowly floated on the sea surface with its belly turned inside out.
