Chapter 283 Opponent
"Okay."

Upon hearing Rita's invitation, Yun Mu agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, it's just idle time, it's okay to learn from each other.

Think of it as moving your body.

The two stood on the wider deck of the Xiangyang, and the surrounding crew members gathered around to watch after noticing the movement here.

The captain wants to compete with Miss Rita in swordsmanship. This is a rare pastime for the crew who only have cards on board as entertainment.

How can I miss it?
"Hmph, you guys."

Yun Mu snorted lightly, but had no intention of driving them away.

She was quite familiar with the crew, so it would be nice to show off her force appropriately.

Besides, the deck is so big, even if she drives people away, it won't help. If she can't watch around, why can't people watch secretly?

Rita thrust out the long sword with all her strength, but Yun Mu easily dodged it sideways. The next second, the wooden training sword was pressed against her chin.

Tsk, tsk, Yun Mu looked at the crew members fighting together, shook his head helplessly, and then stopped paying attention to that side.

"Uh." Upon hearing Yun Mu's words, the expressions on the faces of the two people who had spoken before suddenly froze.

The wooden swords collided with each other and made a crisp sound. Just as soon as they met, Yun Mu noticed the gap in their swordsmanship.

"Aha!"

When several onlookers saw this, they couldn't help but speak out.

"No, it's nothing." As if she thought of something funny, a smile appeared on Rita's face.

Not only the strength, but also the speed of swinging the sword. Even though Lita's swordsmanship was better than Yun Mu's, she could only struggle to hold on under her attack.

Yun Mu increased the speed and strength of his sword swing, and immediately pushed back Lita's attack.

There is no benefit in doing that.

And when she felt the force coming from the sword, which almost made the weapon fall out of her hands, Lita couldn't help but grit her teeth and defended Yun Mu's attack with difficulty.

Of course, they didn't really want Yun Mu to be merciful, they just didn't want the discussion to end like this.

Taking a deep breath, Rita held the wooden sword for training and rushed to Yun Mu in one stride!

"Phew, I lost."

"Hahaha, after all, I am an expert-level transcendent. It is normal for me to be stronger." Yun Mu said casually.

"I really envy you, hahaha."

Retracting her attacking stance, Lita lowered her wooden sword with slightly trembling hands.

"What?" Yun Mu looked at her with some confusion.

"Hey, Captain, aren't you being too bullying?"

"Huh, Miss Yun, I'm going to fuck you!"

"After all, I am the captain!"

pat!

It was November 4243, 11 in the Herar calendar, and the weather was fine.

Well, physical fitness is also a part of swordsmanship, don’t blame me, Rita.

"Well, Miss Yun, you used too much force." Rita looked at her with some resentment: "Aren't you a painter? Why are you so strong?"

"."

"What's going on?" Yun Mu looked at Rita who suddenly laughed out loud with a blank look on his face, not knowing what she was happy about.

It’s only been so long, what else are they looking at?
"Hmph, Saros and Melka, I remember you two. You like watching them so much. Come and spar with me later?"

That would only show that she didn't take the discussion seriously.

"Hahaha, the captain wants to personally guide you, isn't this a good thing?"

"Humph."

Seeing the expressions on the two men's faces, the surrounding crew members began to joke.

"Shut up, shut up, if you're jealous, come on!"

Rita's swordsmanship is even more superb than before, even better than hers!
If it weren't for her character attributes that overwhelmed her opponent, this competition might not be as easy as it is now.

"That is to say, give way to other girls."

She and Rita's sparring session wasn't over yet, and now was not the time to be distracted.

"Liar." Rita said in an extremely small voice.

Yun Mu smiled slightly at first, then walked closer to Lita, stretched out his hand to hold her palm, and asked with concern: "Is your palm okay? There are still some medicines in my room."

The series of intense moves just now obviously overloaded the muscles in her hands.

In fact, even Rita herself didn't know why she was laughing.

After 27 days of sailing, the Xiangyang finally arrived at Faranaka, the port city of the Orc Federation.

In Commonwealth language, the word means "city by the sea."

"Is that a federal city?"

At the front of the deck of the Xiangyang, Rita looked at the shadows gradually emerging in the distance and said excitedly.

After sailing at sea for so many days, she was almost bored to death. When she finally arrived at her destination, she couldn't help but start to look forward to the scenery of the Federation.

"It's really amazing."

Yun Mu stood in front of the rudder of the Xiangyang, controlling the direction of the ship.

Her eyesight was much stronger than Rita's, and she could already see the bustling harbor in the distance.

Huge mechanical arms danced in the air, constantly dismantling cargo from the ship and falling. Metal containers were densely stacked together. The towering buildings made Yun Mu almost feel like he had returned to the earth in a trance.

"Is that the Federation's magic technology?" she said.

"What's this? We also have that kind of mechanical arm in our kingdom." Breanna stood beside her and curled her lips: "It's just that we haven't planned the relevant bill yet, so it hasn't been popularized yet."

"Hehehe" Yun Mu chuckled twice and said nothing.

"Hey, Amangu, look at the ship over there."

On the pier of Faranaka, a male orc with fish scales on his skin and fish gills hidden under his neck pointed to the sea in the distance with his left mechanical arm and said to his companions beside him.

"What's wrong, Lost?" The orc named Amangu also had fish scales on his body. When he heard his friend's words, he followed the direction of his friend's finger and looked toward the sea in the distance.

"Hey, isn't it?"

As if he saw something weird, Amangu's pupils suddenly dilated a lot: "It's actually a sailboat?"

"It's strange, isn't it? This is the first time I've seen it in my life." Lost said with some surprise.

He is thirty-five years old. As a senior employee of Falana Port, he has seen countless ships.

However, this was the first time he had seen this kind of ancient wooden sailboat powered by sails that had been eliminated long ago.

After all, even the cargo ships coming from the Frost Kingdom should be the kind of steam cargo ships that release black smoke all the time.

"Something's wrong." Amangu looked blankly at the sailboat approaching from a distance, and the numbers related to speed were constantly refreshing on the retina of his left eye.

"Are you kidding? The speed of that sailboat is 28 knots!?"

"Three knots faster than the Nautilus!"

The Nautilus is a well-known ship model in the Federation and is famous for its sailing speed. The fastest speed can reach 25 knots per hour, which is 2 knots faster than the fastest steam ship Peter in the Frost Kingdom.

And what did he just see?
Oh, my God, a ship powered by sails is faster than a mechanical ship powered by magic engines and steam engines?
"I think I may need to get a prosthetic eye." Amangu said blankly.

"No, Amangu, your prosthetic eyes are not faulty, look!" Lost pointed behind the wooden sailboat, and saw two cargo ships powered by magic energy desperately chasing the wooden sailboat in front of them. sailboat.

As if he couldn't believe that he would be thrown away by such an old model.

However, no matter how fast they accelerated, the figure of the wooden sailboat continued to distance itself from them.

"Is it an elf?" Amangu thought of something at this time, and said to Lost mysteriously: "I heard that the elves can use magic, and it is normal for a sailboat to run faster than a magic ship. "

"Oh ~ Long Ears, I know them. I heard that those elves are very beautiful."

"If that is really the elf's ship, we will know after it docks."

"Hey, you two, what are you mumbling about!?" At this time, an overseer with shark fins growing on his back and almost his entire upper body transformed into a machine came behind the two of them and spoke to them with a cold mechanical sound. the hostage asked.

"No, it's nothing!"

"Let's go to work!"

As the superior race of ordinary fishmen, sharkmen naturally have a certain sense of oppression. In addition, the guy has almost replaced his entire upper body with machinery, which is really scary.

The two immediately stopped chatting and started to work, only turning their attention to the sea in the distance from time to time.

It wasn't until the shark-man supervisor left that they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That one is the new one recently. He's so ruthless. The level of mechanical transformation must have exceeded 40%."

"It's really cruel. Let's not talk about the money spent on the renovation. With the renovation to that level, are you really not afraid of something happening?"

"Hmph, if you don't reform to that extent, how can you have a job as a supervisor? After all, they are just working part-time like us."

"Too."

The two chatted, and together they separated the goods transported by the robotic arm, and then moved them to the designated place.

In fact, a fully automated terminal will be more efficient, but maintenance costs will also be high, so there are dock workers.

Only if they voluntarily reduce their salary and modify their bodies at their own expense to adapt to harsher work and achieve higher work efficiency will the owners of the dock hire them.

Because if there is no mechanical transformation, the lost efficiency will not be as good as directly using a fully automated terminal.
But the minimal wages, maintenance and risks after mechanical modification, and even problems that occur during work require dock workers to find solutions on their own.

insurance?

Insurance companies will not invoice people who have no money. As for work-related injury insurance and the like, if there was such a thing, who would hire people to do the work?

In the entire dock, only people like Amangu and Lost who don't need to support their families and are not motivated can chat leisurely.

No, it doesn’t mean that I am unmotivated. It’s just that the avenues for advancement are blocked and my efforts are useless, so why bother working hard?
Do you want to imitate that supervisor, spend all your savings, transform your body into that look, and then get a job that is only slightly better than the previous one?

just forget it.

"Wuhu, finally landed."

Yun Mu controlled the Xiangyang and parked it at the berth of Falana Port. As soon as he got off the ship, he met a gray fox man wearing an unknown gray and black uniform, a high hat, and a single-rimmed glasses in front of his eyes.

Well, it's really a gray fox. The one with the fox's head on his head should be considered Fury.

It is said that this is related to the blood purity of the Federation. The higher the purity of the orcs, the closer their appearance is to humans (referring to the appearance of the god of orcs), while the lower the purity of the orcs, the more beast-like they are.

But because the Federation is a country that overthrew the rule of the Orc God, the purity of bloodline becomes irrelevant.

At least on the surface, this is a country that values ​​racial equality.

"Hello, guests from afar, I am the tax collector here." The gray fox man put his hands behind his back and began to explain to everyone:

"According to the federal law, your ship needs to pay 5000 federal coins every day to dock here."

"Of course, as long as you pay, we will send professional people to help you maintain and repair the ship. Even if it is an old model like this, we can be responsible for it."

"How much is five thousand federal coins?" After hearing the tax collector's words, Yun Mu asked Breonna beside him.

"Well, according to the current exchange ratio, one gold frost coin is equivalent to 180 federal coins, which is about 28 gold frost coins." Breonna replied without thinking.

Twenty-eight gold frost coins a day! ?
Is your port made of gold? Is it so expensive?
Yun Mu raised his eyebrows almost subconsciously.

"Did they come from the Frost Kingdom?" After hearing the conversation between the two, the tax collector had a look of surprise on his face.

"I have noticed that the speed of this sailing ship is extraordinary before. Is this the kingdom's new technology?" He asked curiously.

Does the tax collector still care about this kind of issue?

Yun Mu looked at him with some confusion, thought for a while and replied: "This ship is designed like this out of my personal hobby. As for the reason why it can drive so fast, it is just because of the effect of an extraordinary item. "

"Oh, that's it." The tax collector's enthusiasm suddenly dissipated.

Extraordinary items basically cannot be reproduced. On the contrary, some kind of technology that can make ships travel faster than existing ships is what he is originally interested in.

Thinking about it carefully, if there really is such a thing, how could the kingdom show it so easily.

"Do you guys need to go through the entry formalities?" After a moment of silence, he forced a smile on his face again.

"Of course, please lead the way." Yun Mu nodded.

"Ah, people over there, please wait a moment!" Just as a few people were about to go to the office for entry procedures, a female voice suddenly sounded behind them and stopped them.

"Madam, I am about to take these guests." The tax collector turned around and in the middle of his words, he suddenly froze in place.

"Lord Vivian, why are you here!?"
