The captain said that this merchant fleet has a history of nearly a century, and it is an ancient, troubled and blessed fleet.
"All along, this fleet has always had a belief - goods return to the land, and people return to the bottom of the sea." The chief mate said.
"I understand that goods return to the land, what is the meaning of people returning to the bottom of the sea..." Di Li, a good student, asked sincerely, feeling that this half sentence was terrifying.
"The crew members guard the sea all their lives. If they encounter misfortune during the delivery, wouldn't they end up at the bottom of the sea?" said the chief mate.
The captain has been with the first mate for a long time, and he has learned dumb Chinese - he can understand it, but he can only jump word by word.
Hearing the first officer's words, the captain inserted a word beside him: "Waves."
Chief Mate: "… "
Di Li: "What?"
The captain scratched the scab of the wound on his arm, and filled his face with a bird call.
The first officer rolled his eyes and expressed his contempt for his Chinese level.
Then the translation said: "The captain just said that sleeping in the sea is a kind of romance only for sailors. Although you may think it is quite sick..."
The candidates thought for a while and said, "Well... it's actually understandable."
The first officer said again: "Oh yes, I almost forgot. I heard that you are also navigators? That should be the same."
Di Li: "No, I'm still young."
The captain laughed.
"Anyway—" The chief mate continued to force the conclusion: "The fleet has practiced this belief from generation to generation. Every time they go to sea to deliver goods, no matter where they go, no matter what happens, there will always be someone alive to deliver the goods to their destination. There is only one exception."
"right here."
"The sea area where we are now is the most dangerous place. When we take this delivery route, we often get lost in the middle of the road and accidentally get trapped here. The fleet has passed many people here, and at the worst time there is no Survive."
The students almost understood when they heard this.
The so-called generation after generation of crew members is here, referring to the previous examination room. Every exam will have a merchant fleet stuck here.
If the candidates can solve the problem, the fleet will be able to return alive.
If the candidates can't solve it, the crew will die of various problems one after another, and finally the entire team will be buried on this deserted island.
"But there are always a few times when I am lucky and have been favored by God." The first mate said.
"So the crew who returned alive left a legend, uh... It is impossible to test who the captain said specifically. Anyway, in the legend, the see-off on the deserted island symbolizes vitality and hope. What you see at night should be It's the seers. Some call them undead, to us they're angels."
"… "
The candidates' expressions are indescribable, and their hearts say that your angels are really scary.
The captain interjected in a frenzied manner next to him.
He always seemed to be full of energy, and even when he was thin, he could still laugh.
Such a captain can really inspire people, and even the candidates feel relieved, and it seems that they can say goodbye to this place with a wave of their hands.
"The captain said that the illusory words such as vitality and hope are too nonsense. He has studied some materials and learned that the so-called hope refers to melting ice. The appearance of the see-off means that the ice capped on the sea surface will melt, and we can start Hang has left here."
The chief mate was also delighted.
But he was strict by nature, smiled and said with a sullen face: "The premise is that everything goes well."
The captain was like a big monkey, coaxing a brood of crew members to slip out of the hole.
Slipped back in a while.
"I haven't seen the see-offs for a while, maybe they don't show up during the day?"
"However, there are several potholes behind the cave, which may have been knocked out."
The crew spoke with a red face.
The first mate was also red, but he held on.
The examinee's face turned green.
"What do you mean by knocking out a hole? Your angel crawled out?"
"Come out to meet the hope and the sun."
"In addition, the sea surface has not changed for the time being, but Van Nord said that he can feel the restlessness of the ice, and he is a veteran!"
The crew began to dance the sailor dance, shoulder to shoulder.
The candidates were leaning against the wall, unable to live without love.
The captain raked his long knotted hair and sat down in front of You Huo and Qin Research. The first mate resigned and came over to act as an interpreter.
"Isn't such a surprise worth celebrating? Your people seem to be calm."
They mistook other candidates for crew members.
Wandering didn't explain much, after all, I couldn't explain it to the NPC.
"If it's about melting ice, we knew it last night, it's not a surprise," Qin Qiu said.
The captain was surprised.
"How do you know? Have you heard of such a legend?"
Qin Qiu: "That's not it, I heard it from a rabbit."
Captain: "Rabbit? Fairy tale? I like it. Which magical rabbit is it? Do I have the honor to meet him?"
Qin Qiu brought the roasted rabbit enshrined in the corner.
Captain: "..."
The way he looked at the rabbit was odd.
It's almost like an NPC, but only for a moment.
Soon he scratched his head again and mumbled.
The first officer hesitated, and the translator said, "The ending of this fairy tale is a little dark."
You Huo suddenly jumped up and said: "It's not as black as the rabbit itself."
"Are you two fleets together?" Chief mate.
"us?"
The first mate pointed to Qin Qiu and then to You Huo: "You guys."
"Why do you say that?" Qin Jiu glanced at You Huo, and then asked playfully, "We don't belong to the same boat? "
The first mate shook his head: "You look like captains, two captains."
Qin Qiu pointed to Youyou: "Is there such a captain who ignores people?"
The first mate said solemnly: "Anyway, there is no first mate who ignores people."
Confused: "… "
Faced with blackmail, he stood up with a sneer, stomped his numb feet and asked the captain, "I will melt the ice tomorrow, we will send you back, what are you going to prepare? Tell me now."
"Tomorrow? Are you sure?"
"Um."
The captain jumped up: "That's really tight!"
There are many things to prepare for the return flight.
Merchant ships are damaged, even if they do not affect navigation, they can be used just fine. Affected must be repaired.
Fuel is also required on the return voyage to maintain life in the cabin.
In addition, the goods also need to be counted.
Everyone was eager to get rid of the shadow of the human face, and got up to help one after another, in order to finish the exam as soon as possible.
Is there a gap in the side of the boat
Dismantle that system ship.
Too many deck holes
Dismantle that system ship.
The rudder is frozen
Or dismantle that system ship.
Qin Jiu's advantages as an invigilator were fully reflected at this time.
He knows most of the punishment rules, and knows that there is no double punishment for one thing. He stares at a sheep, and there is no difference between shaving half of it and being bald.
Anyway, he and You Huo were punished for scrapping the ship, and the fate of that system ship was doomed.
The candidates have a strong desire to survive, and the efficiency of ship repair is astonishingly high.
At the end of the day, two of the three merchant ships were repaired.
At this speed, starting tomorrow will not be a problem.
The crew thought about it, and danced around the fire again.
But the uproar didn't last long.
As soon as it fell into the night, the examinees held them down, begging them to go to bed quickly, so as not to cause the "angel" to be attracted by the too much movement.
***
At 11:55 in the night, the fire was burning in the cave and it was unusually quiet.
The excited crew members have all fallen asleep, and the atmosphere has returned to tension.
Chen Fei and Huang Rui leaned their heads on the stone wall.
After listening to Qin Qiu's words, they did not forget to prepare while repairing the ship during the day.
Chen Fei held the torch in one hand and the knife in the other.
The knife he borrowed from the merchant marine came from the kitchen, suitable for chopping melons and meat.
Huang Rui was holding two long iron hooks.
He thought about the anchor, and it would be extremely powerful to go down, and it would not be a problem to stun monsters. But after trying the power of feeding, he couldn't move it, so he could only give up.
The two held the murder weapon, and their hearts were a little more calm.
But the fingers still couldn't restrain the trembling.
11:57.
The roasted rabbit kicked its legs and suddenly said:
[There are still 2 minutes and 15 seconds until 0:00, recalculate today's score. 】
[Today's candidates have a total of one trigger point. 】
[1. Repair two ships. 】
[The specific scores are as follows:]
[Repairing a merchant ship is a total of 6 points, including 3 points for preparing materials and tools, and 3 points for repairing. 】
On the stone wall, because of everyone's participation, each score bar ran for the same length.
Each set adds up to 6 points.
[All the extra points have been calculated, and now the deduction items are calculated. 】
[Today's candidates trigger a total of one deduction points. 】
[1. The crew did not eat three meals and fell asleep in a tired and hungry state. 】
The students are speechless.
People didn't mention eating at all, is this also our pot
But the system is still beeping:
[The specific scores are as follows:]
[The state of extreme hunger will affect the return of the crew, they will have no energy to sail, and they will have no energy to steer, and there will be endless troubles. 2 points will be deducted for each candidate. 】
The score bar on the stone wall changed again.
Speaking of additions and subtractions, a total of four points more.
But in reality, there was no change in the rankings tonight.
You had previously expected points to be deducted from roasted rabbits, but the system seemed to be smarter this time.
Maybe the roasted rabbit still doesn't affect the vocalization, and both of them have been punished, and it has good reasons not to deduct points for the two annoying candidates, lest their punishment tools be damaged again.
So this night, Chen Fei and Huang Rui were still last.
No one came to the rescue.
***
On the top of the wet and cold cave, the ugly octopus lay silently.
It's the once-a-day feeding time again, and it's not happy at all.
it's sad...
The last time the food was too skinny, it ruined all its tentacles. It took a day to raise it back, and if I meet those two again...
It would rather starve to death, at least with dignity.
It lay on the ground for a while, and finally waited for the final result.
The round eyes suddenly lit up!
Great, changing dishes tonight!
Finally got a good meal!
It cracked its black mouth, dripping with drool, and stretched out sinful tentacles from top to bottom.
