Chapter 17 Shallow Port

Tang An’s biggest advantage is not that he is brave and ruthless, or that he is extremely smart, but that he has self-knowledge.

Even if you know that the sailor John knows the secret on the curse compass, it may bring you huge benefits, but if you can't get it, or if you have to take too much risk, Tang An will not force it.

Tang An’s way of doing things is very simple. ‘Tomorrow’ is beautiful, but no matter how beautiful tomorrow is, it is useless. The point is whether you can live until tomorrow.

So if it weren't for being forced to do so, Tang An would never take the initiative to provoke the sailor John on this ship.

Now I am at a disadvantage and must not commit suicide. As long as the captain and the first mate do not support each other's unreasonable requests, I am absolutely safe.

After getting off the boat and having the chance, we will settle the score.

Tang An asked the first mate Robert that according to the current navigation plan, they would be able to arrive on land in three days, a place called "Shakewater Port".

Coincidentally, Tang An confirmed every day that the direction pointed by the compass pointer was the same as the route of this ship, which is the biggest good thing.

But Tang An felt that this might be the task guidance given by the plot world system.

In the next few days, Tang An tried his best to understand everything in this world. The sailors of this ship have been traveling around the world for many years, and what they see and hear are of course quite rich. Just so happened that Tang An was in a dark state for this plot world of No. 16. The sailor was willing to say and listen, which not only increased his experience, but also improved his abilities in "Lasia".

On the tenth day, Tang An stood on the deck of the Viniteros and could already see the land in the distance.

Tang An was very excited.

The first time he came to the plot world of No. 16 was on the sea, and in a ghost ship. The second time he came, he soaked in the sea for most of his night and almost lost his life. Now he finally has the chance to set foot on land.

The plot world, according to the description in the engineer's log, is a world derived from the most complex basic data, "simulated and evolved". That is to say, except for the system intelligent brain (No. 1) of the plot world, no one knows the situation in the plot world, including various tasks, which are also automatically derived according to the initial preset mechanism.

At least for Tang An, the plot world is an unknown world.

Therefore, the reason why Tang An was excited was because of curiosity and expectation.

"Tang, there is the famous shallow water port there. There are hundreds of ships entering and leaving here every day. After docking, you can eat and drink. The Sailor Tavern is the best place. You must try the wine and barbecue there. By the way, there is also the Winnie Bar. Although the wine is not very good, the charming dancer can show you the heroic spirit of a man. You know what is here." A sailor next to him gave Tang An a rather obscene smile.

Tang An's raid on the 'Lasia language' in the past ten days, he can understand most of this sentence and can respond.

"Jack, you can try wine and barbecue, just forget about dancers or something." Tang An waved his hand. Regarding Qianshui Port, Tang An has learned a lot from several sailors and first mates in the past few days. Of course, because he has not fully mastered the 'Lasia language', Tang An's understanding is also very limited. Tang An also has a book. In ten days, Tang An wrote the words and pronunciation methods of 'Lasia language' on it.

Tang An felt that he had never been able to study "foreign language" so seriously like this time in his life. If he had worked so hard when he was in school...

Forget it, I won’t mention the past.

The Roberts were very good. After the ship docked, they not only returned Tang An's evil spirit flintlock rifle, but also gave Tang An a silver coin.

"The Temple Silver Coins, the currency in circulation in New Elasia, can be used in all countries in the plot No. 16, or exchanged for general silver coins, with a ratio of one to one."

This is the system's attribute prompt about this silver coin.

Tang An naturally thanked him sincerely.

As for the purchasing power of this silver coin, although it is not very powerful, it can at least ensure that you will not go hungry within a few days.

It is estimated that Robert also saw that he was penniless, so he "donated generously".

Tang An did not leave directly, but took the initiative to help the crew unload the goods before saying goodbye to leave.

After spending ten days together, I was a little reluctant to part with these crew members, but there was no banquet that would never last. This time the mission time limit was increased to 30 days, and it took 10 days on the sea alone. For the rest of the time, Tang An had no other mission guidance or clues except for the pointer on the compass.

So although there are still 20 days left, Tang An doesn't know if he can successfully enter the next task node.

Moreover, Tang An had to deal with another more imminent trouble.

The sailor John obviously did not intend to let him go, or the other party would not give up the sailing compass in his hand. When the boat docked, John had already left the boat and the merchant ship docked. The crew could have several days to rest. During this period, they could go anywhere.

But Tang An knew that John had not gone far, and should have been observing and surveillanced himself in the dark.

When saying goodbye to Robert, the kind-hearted first mate told Tang An that John had a wide connection in Shariputra Port and even had close personal relationships with the sheriff here.

This is obviously a reminder to Tang An to pay attention.

Tang An thanked him in the not-flexible ‘Lasia language’. Robert meant that he wanted Tang An to leave shallow water port as soon as possible and enter the inland town, so that he could avoid John.

Obviously, Robert, the first mate, was not stupid either. He had long seen that John had a bad intention.

"I have a better suggestion, throw away the compass, or give it to John. Maybe John regarded this compass as a treasure compass. It is said that the compass pointed to by such a compass are priceless treasures. The pirates used to hide the treasures they snatched, but in my opinion, they are all legends. If they cannot be truly done, they will probably be nothing."

Because Tang An's language ability is still very weak, Robert said it several times before Tang An figured out the general meaning. After figured it out, Tang An thoughtfully said, "You don't believe it, but John believed it, and even if he handed over the things, he would probably not be able to fall into anything, let alone, this is a task item, and Tang An could not give up."

The fierce sailor would probably not give up.

However, Tang An still attaches great importance to Robert's advice.

John has a wide connection. In other words, he can eat both black and white. This is the most troublesome thing. John is in Shariputra, and he is a local snake. A strong dragon does not defeat a local snake, not to mention that he is not a strong dragon.

After saying goodbye to Robert, Tang An changed his clothes as soon as possible.

The clothes were given by Robert, very ordinary, just like ordinary civilians, but Tang An felt that changing clothes might not necessarily avoid John's pursuit.

You must find other ways to get rid of danger.
