Fang Yuhao walked into a bookstore.

Books are luxury goods here.

The owner of the bookstore was facing a big box and smiled dementally.

A bright sunlight appeared on his face, and his whole body was shining with its original miserable whiteness. This was because he did not shine on the sun for a long time and his skin showed unhealthy spots.

He was even like a sucking drug patient, laughing wildly, indulging in the process of shining on the sun, and did not even care about Fang Yuhao's arrival.

"Dingling."

The magic bell in front of the door suddenly rang, and the owner reacted and covered the box with a "splash".

"Hello, what book do you want to buy?"

Fang Yuhao selected two books on navigation, put them on the counter, and took out a few silver coins, "I have some questions and I want to ask you."

In view of the transaction, the owner of the bookstore did not show any impatientness, "What are you wrong?"

Fang Yuhao took out the world map, "Is there no people in the continent behind the Giant Rock City?"

"Of course not! How can humans survive far away from the sea? Moreover, the colder they go west, and it can freeze humans directly. You don't know how cold there is!"

The owner of the bookstore thought for a while and said, "It's just that... the stone god lives on the other end of the continent, and it is a paradise full of sunshine! However, the best adventure troops cannot hike across the entire continent, and can only go to the sunshine sea through the ocean."

"Is the entire Wuguang Continent full of coal?" Fang Yuhao said curiously.

"Of course, this is the gift of the stone god!" The owner of the shop said very piously: "Since the opening of the Second Era, it has been two thousand years. Perhaps... we have only dug one millionth of the coal in the entire continent."

The so-called First Era may be an ancient century with extremely developed technology. However, due to a disaster, the planet stopped rotating, and the current "Second Era" was formed. Anyway, in the eyes of humans in this world, things in the First Era are all good, and they are all high-tech products...

Fang Yuhao nodded and left the bookstore with two books.

Now the first clue is already there, about the "Stone God" Emilia. This god lives on the other end of the continent.

There are three serious gods in this world, namely "Stone God", "Salt God" and "Storm God".

Fang Yuhao is not sure whether the "gods" in this world are true or false.

"Anyway, if you have the chance, you can visit these gods. I hope they are wise."

Judging from the current known information, Emilia, the "Stone God" prefers humans more and has a large number of devout believers; the "Salt God" is extremely fierce and curses at any time, which favors all kinds of marine creatures even more.

As for the Storm God, it seems to be a neutral cube. The occasional stirring of wind and waves is done by the Storm God.

The best way to explore the "gods" is of course... sailing out of the sea!

Fang Yuhao flipped through two navigation books under the street lights. Under the influence of [Navigation Talent], he quickly mastered the tricks.

He quickly walked to the dock.

"Bang!"

Then there were bursts of painful screams.

A smuggler was being whipped. The prisoner was tied to Xingtai and wrapped the places that might be beaten except for his butt, and then whipped them with a whip.

The whip is a vine whip produced from "Nemon Moore". It is soaked in a liquid with a very religious meaning. The whole process is very sacred.

A wizard was smiling and checking the prisoner's mental state.

The strong executioner held a whip in his hand, turned out a big circle, "pop", and whipped it hard on his butt. This whip can consume most of the executioner's strength.

The prisoner didn't even scream at this whip and fell into a coma in pain.

The onlookers around him whispered: "After watching so many whip, no one can be sober and be subjected to the third whip."

“…What did he smuggle?”

"It is said to be a kind of jewelry produced from the volcanic belt. Each jewelry can be sold for several gold coins! Then it was reported by its companions."

The wizard began to clear the prisoner's consciousness. The whipping must be carried out when the prisoner's mental state is awake to enhance the pain.

Fang Yuhao watched for a while and lost interest. This was just a way to deter smugglers... Anyway, he wouldn't smuggle.

His ultimate goal is to explore the secrets of this world.

There is also a large talent recruitment site nearby, and every time you sail, you have to risk death. A dark ocean without light has greatly increased the level of danger. However, the crisis is accompanied by wealth, and young people coming to the dock are still flocking to it.

"... Almost all nobles obtained the first gold from their voyages. The wealth of the previous era was hidden in the endless ocean! Especially in the mysterious nobody's area, an area where few people explore..." A gorgeously dressed nobleman shouted an incitemental slogan and was delivering a speech with passion.

Behind him was a huge steel wheel, and the hideous cannon barrels emitted a metallic luster. This kind of force alone could bring enough security.

"Let's conquer the ocean and the sea monsters!"

"Marte Edward, will you go on this voyage?"

"Of course, our fleet will go to the mysterious Arctic Ocean this time! We have the most exquisite equipment to kill powerful sea beasts!"

"Wow!" Many young people shouted excitedly, wishing they could go out to sea immediately.

Fang Yuhao had no interest in competing with so many people, nor was he interested in exploring the Arctic Ocean. It was contrary to his goal. He wanted to go to the sunny sea and meet the so-called "Stone God".

Carefully browse the various recruitment information on the bulletin board.

A few minutes later, Fang Yuhao walked to a large steam cargo ship. Although it was not as good as the 10,000-ton ship of the Great Noble, the ship looked like it had a tonnage of seven or eight thousand tons.

The long sailing made the deck full of shellfish creatures. Some sailors were diving into the water and hung shells with knives. In the dim environment, they were like water ghosts with disheveled hair.

"You recruit sailors? Go to the sunny sea?"

"Yes."

The captain, who was over 40, carefully examined Fang Yuhao's face and frowned and said, "Young man, you should know that the sunny sea is the farthest destination, accompanied by huge risks... Your life is still long and you shouldn't go to that kind of place."

Fang Yuhao was stunned, but he didn't expect that he would be rejected.

"I'm sorry, sir, please give me a chance!"

Fang Yuhao said sincerely: "I want a large amount of money to repay my personal debts and I have to take a risk. I can watch astrology, use compass, and use mathematics to calculate the position of the ship. I think there must be something useful to me on your ship... I hope you will give me a chance."

"You know how to be astrological?"

"Yes!"

The captain was slightly surprised. There were not many people who graduated from college in this era, and there were very few people who knew astrology and compass. The astrology charts in the sky changed with the seasons of the year. It was not that easy to master them. You must know a little bit of mathematics, astronomy and geography.

He looked at Fang Yuhao. Although the young man was dressed normally, his eyes were clear and he had a spirit that ordinary people did not have.

I took several questions from Fang Yuhao in succession, such as the difference between the stars and constellations in the year, the calculation method of longitude and longitude, common sense of ocean navigation, and various emergency knowledge, etc. All the answers were better than I thought, as if this young man had already experienced several long-distance sailors.

"You look at my hand." The captain said at last.

A red light flashed in his hands.

Fang Yuhao subconsciously took a step back, just frowned, and there was no change in his face.

The captain was quite satisfied when he saw that his "panic art" had no effect. He was worried that some newly recruited sailors had poor psychological qualities and had transmitted the terror to others after sailing for a few days. He was determined to want such people.

"Come with me."

The captain said a few words to the first mate beside him. The first mate began to check Fang Yuhao's body up and down. Then another wizard came, and the old wizard shone on Fang Yuhao with a crystal ball.

"Don't worry, boy, just see if you've been cursed by the gods."

The second deputy behind is comparing the portraits of wanted criminals issued by the Navy, but did not match Fang Yuhao's face.

"It shouldn't be a wanted criminal."

After checking the entire set, the captain suddenly realized: "What's your name?"

"Hot."

The captain waved, "Go on the boat, Hot, there is your place in the sailor!"

After the interview was successful, Fang Yuhao was delighted and followed the first mate to the cargo ship. He was in the same room as an old sailor.

"Don't worry, my old Duncan can take care of young people. When I see you, I think of my son who is still studying. In a few years, he will be as old as you and will have to go out to sea." A slightly older sailor with a good temper said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Duncan." Fang Yuhao greeted politely.

After putting down a few of his clothes, Fang Yuhao began to carry goods with everyone, mainly coal and steel.

Sell ​​the unique production of the Stone City to other places, and then transport the specialties from other places back. Almost all merchant ships make money like this.

"Hot, you are so strong!"

"Where are there." Fang Yuhao smiled embarrassedly.

Seeing Fang Yuhao lifting two hundred kilograms of coal alone, several old sailors were dumbfounded and buried their thoughts of teaching the rookie a lesson in their stomachs.

His current incarnation has spent nearly 10,000 pieces of belief, and his cell activity is about 220, which is "far beyond ordinary people". It takes no effort to lift two hundred kilograms of coal.
