Comprehension against the sky, creating the Five Thunders in the real world

Lin Beichen was spouting the same old platitudes.

For him, these platitudes were not only useless, but they also disturbed his mood, making his already irritable heart even more upset.

He has always been disgusted by this kind of thing, but now there's no good way to deal with it.

"Lin Beichen, please be careful."

At this point, his gaze turned serious.

"We'll be at the key location soon, so please wait a moment. It's not convenient for us to return directly now; we'll have to take a detour to get back smoothly."

"Wait, why do you say that?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Beichen immediately became displeased.

"Honestly, wouldn't it be faster to just go straight back? Why do we have to detour and turn back halfway?"

There's a reason I made you take a detour.

The person next to Lin Beichen added very seriously.

“This area is a bit dangerous. I’ve recently heard that a group of sea pirates often frequents this area, and I’m worried about your safety, so I won’t let you return directly for the time being.”

"Such a thing exists? There are still pirates at sea these days?"

"Of course."

At this point, the captain pursed his lips and said casually to Lin Beichen.

“Some countries even issue special permits for this purpose.”

"Is there such a thing?"

Lin Beichen was speechless.

Honestly, he really didn't expect to encounter this situation.

"I still don't really want to transfer."

At this point, Lin Beichen looked at the transit plan provided by the other party.

"I think the transfer plan you suggested is too complicated. It feels like no matter how I transfer, I won't get to where I want to go. How about this?"

At this point, Lin Beichen took the map and spread it out in front of him, then spoke to the man from before.

"Although I don't agree with your previous plan, we can try a different approach."

At this point, his gaze became serious.

“We’ll take a long detour, crossing this narrow strait, so we don’t have to waste our time going to the transit station.”

Upon hearing this, the man's eyes lit up almost instantly.

"What you're saying does make sense."

He became excited as he said this.

"And I feel that this plan should be feasible."

"Not only is it feasible, it's also highly feasible."

At this point, Lin Beichen smiled gently.

"Then let's get started."

After saying that, the captain adjusted his hat.

"We'll carefully navigate around there from here. If you're feeling a bit seasick, go back to your cabin and rest. As for everything else, leave it to us."

"it is good."

Hearing this, Lin Beichen nodded in satisfaction.

"In that case, I'll head back to the cargo hold first."

At this point, Lin Beichen's gaze turned serious.

"To be honest, I am indeed a little dizzy, just like you said. But the symptoms aren't too serious, and I can manage."

"You should go back and rest."

Seeing that Lin Beichen was so uncomfortable, the person next to him also showed a look of heartache.

"Trust me, you'll feel much better after you rest."

He smiled as he said this.

"Since you've said so, I'll believe you this once."

He smiled as he said this.

"We must be extremely careful with every step we take at sea from now on, or we could face very bad consequences."

After saying this, the captain slowly steered the ship forward.

Although he could see the pirate ship from afar, to be honest, the situation wasn't too bad right now.

The pirates over there probably haven't discovered them yet.

Thinking of this, he comforted himself.

As long as the pirates don't notice, he still has a chance to handle the current situation properly.

The more he thought about it, the calmer his expression became.

Hopefully they haven't discovered us.

However, contrary to his expectations, the pirates opposite had already discovered their whereabouts.

And it was rapidly approaching them.

"Look!"

The pirate captain's men shouted with delight as soon as they spotted the ship where Lin Beichen and his group were.

"There's a fat sheep coming this way!"

"Oh, you're absolutely right."

Upon hearing his words, the pirate captain from before became excited almost instantly.

"Those two guys have a pretty good boat. Aren't they just two easy targets?"

"Boss, should we just charge in and take them down?"

Upon hearing this, the person present immediately became excited.

"If we can successfully take them down, wouldn't we be making a huge profit?"

Seeing his excited expression, the pirate captain simply waved his hand.

"To be honest, there's no rush to take them down."

At this point, he waved his hand casually.

"Don't you understand? If we deal with them now, we won't actually gain much."

At this point, his gaze suddenly turned serious.

"They probably still think we're not watching them, which is why they dare to be so brazen. But once our ships start following them, they'll be terrified. And then—if they turn around and run away, are you going to take responsibility for that? Hmm?"

"This……"

At this point, the man hesitated almost instantly.

"I'm sorry, boss. I was confused just now and didn't think of that. Please forgive me."

"Alright, this is your first time dealing with something like this, so to be honest, I don't blame you. But you have to remember this: if I find this kind of problem again, I won't let you off easily."

"Also, remember all my plans for today. That way, you'll probably know how to handle similar situations in the future."

"They don't seem to have noticed us yet, Lin Beichen."

On the other side of the boat, a man spoke very seriously to Lin Beichen.

"Honestly, the best thing is that they didn't realize we were here. If they had, we would have been in big trouble, and we might have been attacked no matter which way we went."

"Speaking of which, what would you do if you encountered pirates like this?"

Lin Beichen looked at the captain beside him and asked with some curiosity.

"I see you have fishing gear on your boat. If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to catch quite a few fish, right?"

"That's certainly true."

The captain nodded affirmatively.

"But things aren't always as simple as you think."

At this point, he suddenly paused to think seriously for a moment.

"How should I put it? Normally when I encounter them, I can only take a detour."

"But if I had guns on my ship, I would still fire a shot to scare them."

He smiled slightly as he said this.

"Although this is not a brilliant method, it is much better than sitting and waiting to die."

"You're right." Lin Beichen nodded casually from the side.

"But I have another question to ask."

He seemed a little curious as he said this.

"So if you actually encountered that, how would you deal with it?"

"It's actually quite simple to deal with." The man thought about it carefully.

“If it’s my first time encountering them, I’ll try to give them some money first to see if I can get away with it. If that works, I’ll take the initiative to back down – although it’s frustrating and I’m not entirely willing to give up, this approach can largely avoid conflict and save me the trouble of dealing with it.”

At this point, he pondered it carefully again.

"What if it can't be avoided? Do you have any other plans?"

"If it can't be avoided, um..."

At this point, he lowered his head, as if considering something, and pondered slowly and carefully for a while.

"If it really comes to the point where it is unavoidable, I will do my best to complete all the preparations at hand, and then fight them to the death."

At this point, his expression sharpened considerably.

"This is the best solution I can think of, and I hope you can understand. After all, I personally can't predict what will happen in the future."

"I understand."

Lin Beichen nodded casually.

"Then you should do as I just said and get ready."

At this point, he pointed to the figures that were faintly visible in the distance.

"After all, they're already prepared to deal with you."

"Huh? How did they get here so quickly!"

Reminded by Lin Beichen, the man suddenly realized what was happening and turned around to look at the pirates gradually gathering in the distance with a shocked expression.

"What happened? It was perfectly calm here just now, why did it suddenly become like this?"

"Honestly, I feel like you don't really understand these kinds of situations."

At this point, Lin Beichen casually shrugged, an expression that further convinced the captain of his judgment.

"Although you're not good at handling these kinds of things, to be honest, I don't blame you."

He casually shrugged.

"After all, this is indeed a bit too difficult for you to handle."

"Then what should we do now?"

As he watched the pirates gathering in the distance, he couldn't help but tense up, and his body even trembled uncontrollably.

"If you want to resolve this problem, I do have a way to help you, but it depends on your sincerity."

At this point, Lin Beichen casually shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

"I said……"

The captain looked intently at Lin Beichen.

"Please, if you really want to help me, at least be a little more serious."

"alright."

Lin Beichen waved his hand casually.

"Of course I'll help you, just calm down."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted the other person on the shoulder.

His unusually serious demeanor moved the captain somewhat.

"In short, our primary goal is still to distance ourselves from that pirate ship."

At this point, he pointed to the approaching ships not far away.

"If we give them another chance to push their luck, none of us will be happy. Do you have any ideas? We don't seem to have a good way to deal with their increasingly aggressive behavior."

At this point, the captain, sounding somewhat agitated, bit his finger.

"How about we use artillery to drive them away a bit?"

"That's not necessary."

Having said that, Lin Beichen shook his head, seemingly unconvinced.

"I think you probably still don't understand what I mean. Now, go all the way up to the speed. If possible, we'll resolve all these issues at once."

"Yes."

Seeing his resolute expression, the man from before was suddenly filled with emotion.

"Now you must remember what I'm saying."

Lin Beichen took the initiative to walk to the control seat and pushed the ship's engine to maximum power. With his action, the ship's speed gradually increased, even exceeding the expectations of those present.

"You're driving the boat way too fast!"

The man next to him couldn't help but complain.

"Lin Beichen, slow down a bit. If the boat goes too fast, people won't be able to handle it."

"I understand."

Lin Beichen was also suppressing his nausea, which is why he deliberately drove the boat so fast.

"But frankly, if we don't deal with them seriously, not only the ship, but we ourselves will suffer."

"Damn it, why did they suddenly speed up!"

The people on the pirate ship nearby had already noticed Lin Beichen and his group's unusual behavior, and he silently frowned.

"Looks like those guys have spotted us and are fleeing at full speed. Should we try to stop them?"

At this point, he hesitated.

"Intercept? No, no, no, there's absolutely no need."

The pirate captain waved his hand casually.

"Going to block them now is the most pointless thing to do. They only have so little oil on their ship. We just need to follow them at a leisurely pace and watch them get cornered little by little. That's enough."

At this point, he burst into laughter.

"Don't be fooled by their seemingly strong appearance; in fact, they are already at their limit and there's no need to worry about anything else."

He chuckled as he finished speaking.

That appearance gave his many subordinates even more confidence.

"Since you put it that way, wouldn't we be able to defeat them easily?"

Upon hearing this, the people present immediately became excited.

"That's natural."

Seeing that things had come to this point, the person stopped hiding his thoughts and revealed everything he had been thinking.

"We can not only easily defeat them, but we can even capture everyone on that ship."

He smiled slightly as he said this.

"Especially that person—did you see him?"

"Who is it?"

At this point, everyone present became somewhat curious.

"Who is the person the boss is talking about?"

"I'll keep you in suspense for a bit."

At this point, he smiled casually.

You probably won't guess who that guy is.

"Tch, so mysterious. I thought you were going to tell us, boss."

"And then they used those kinds of words to whet our appetites again."

"Yes, yes."

At this point, the people present nodded in agreement.

"Is it really interesting that you keep teasing us with this kind of thing all the time?"

"How can it be boring?"

The man burst into laughter.

Seeing their expressions, he couldn't stop laughing.

"And I heard there are quite a few pretty girls on that ship."

At this point, he once again turned his gaze to the distance.

"I think you should also take a good look at their looks; they are absolutely stunning."

"Boss, now that you mention it, we brothers are really eager to take a look!"

At this point, they immediately burst into vicious laughter...

The crew members nearby saw this scene clearly through their binoculars.

"These people are disgusting."

A female crew member handed the binoculars back to the captain beside her, clearly displeased.

"They're disgusting, of course." (End of Chapter)
