We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 6 Fishing Guy Never Air Force

"???"

Many questions arose in Xia En's mind.

girl?

Joey was actually a girl?
Upon closer reflection, Joey did not exhibit any clear gender characteristics.

The name itself is somewhat gender-neutral, and coupled with her rugged and eccentric appearance, Xia En subconsciously mistook her for a boy.

Looking back now, it was probably just a disguise she made, a kind of self-protection for the weak.

After all, women have always been in a vulnerable position at sea.

Some ships even preferred to carry ewes rather than allow women on board, regarding it as a taboo.

Of course, there are also strong women who are able to break through this unequal discrimination.

You could become a sailor on a ship, or even a captain, steer the vessel, and set sail!
What Xia En cared about even more was Joey's bloodline.

Sirens...

If he remembers correctly, this seems to be a mythical creature?
It is said that sirens are sea monsters with human faces and fish bodies. They are beautiful and graceful and use their melodious voices to lure ships at sea. By the time the sailors realize what's happening, the ships have already run aground and sunk.

In some legends, the Sirens are depicted as having either a bird's head and a human body or a human's head and a bird's body.

However, judging from the description on the panel, Joey does not seem to be a pure-blooded siren, but a human with siren blood.

"hiss……"

Xia En took a slight breath of cool air.

Are all people in this world this wild?

With both succubi and siren, XP is truly extraordinary.

After a brief moment of surprise, Shane quickly calmed down.

Whether Joey is male or female, a Siren or a human, it doesn't matter to him.

As long as Joey can be a competent crew member and work for him, no matter how big her secrets are, Shane won't bother to find out.

Who in this world doesn't have a few secrets?

Thinking of this, Xia En's mindset instantly calmed down, and he even had the mind to look at the buoys bobbing on the sea surface.

Suddenly, the tip of the fishing rod beside him bent slightly, and the fishing line tightened abruptly.

"A fish is hooked!"

Xia En's face lit up with joy, and he excitedly muttered to himself, "I knew it, how could I be in the Air Force?"

He walked quickly to the fishing rod and began to lift the rod and reel in the line.

Before long, looking at the coarse burlap sack he had fished up, Xia En fell silent.

"Hey, I don't believe it! Let's try again!"

Xia En's fishing spirit was burning brightly, so he took out two more fishing rods from the cabin.

"I refuse to believe I can't catch a fish if I cast all three rods at once!"

……

……

Joey woke up groggily, her head still spinning.

Her rumbling stomach urged her to get up.

Lying in bed hungry is an unpleasant memory for Joey. When she was younger, she used to sleep to get through the hungriest times and almost fell into a deep sleep forever.

From that moment on, she understood that when hunger exceeds a critical point, death will visit in one's sleep.

Shaking his head to put the bad memories behind him, Joey thought strangely.

"Huh? Didn't the captain come to call me?"

Joey felt like she had slept for a long time. She looked out the window and found that it was already completely dark.

The sea appeared even deeper and more terrifying at night, making her feel as if she dared not look directly at it.

Driven by his instinct to find food, Joey left the room and headed towards the deck.

Then she saw a very strange scene on the deck.

Captain Shane sat beside three fishing rods, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the vast sea before him, like a gambler who had lost everything.

At his feet lay a pile of random, bizarre things.

This included, but was not limited to, a rough burlap sack, a large clump of black seaweed, a boot with a gaping hole, and even a skull with empty eye sockets staring ahead, seemingly filled with resentment. Joey: "..."

Did the captain catch all of these?
But where are the fish?
At this moment, Shane also noticed Joey's arrival, coughed twice, and then spoke.

"Ahem, you might not believe it, but I actually caught a big one and it's already in the galley, the innermost room of the ship."

"Joey, do you know how to cook fish? I can't leave right now, could you help me prepare it?"

Joey paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Watching Joey's retreating figure, Shane wiped his sweat and kicked the fishing rod next to him in a fit of embarrassment and anger.

After a few hours, Xia En realized that his fishing talent seemed to have gone astray.

There weren't any fish, but they were fishing for all sorts of random things.

Is this another way of... never being an air force pilot?
There was no point in leaving the trash on the ship, so Shane simply threw it all back into the sea.

"Don't let me catch you next time!"

Just as he finished cleaning the deck, Shane heard a low gasp coming from inside the cabin.

"Wow, what a big fish!"

Xia En blushed slightly. Although the saw shark was his trophy, it had nothing to do with fishing.

On Earth, if he could catch such a big fish, he would probably wander the streets until dark before going home.

When Xia En walked into the kitchen, he saw in the light of the kerosene lamp that the saw shark had been cut into eight pieces, with its bones and internal organs removed and thrown aside.

Joey stood there, holding a blood-stained cleaver, his clothes covered in blood.

With that kind of look, he could totally make a cameo appearance on the set of "The Butcher in the Rain".

Shane: "..."

I never knew this little girl had this skill.

"Captain, you've arrived."

Joey wiped the sweat from her forehead with her little hand, her voice filled with excitement: "Such a big fish, it should last us for several days!"

"Just wait and see if you can taste my cooking!"

Xia En watched for a while and noticed that Joey's movements in preparing the ingredients were very efficient, clearly indicating that she had experience in the kitchen.

He couldn't help but nod to himself.

A good cook is also very important when sailing at sea.

However, Shane soon noticed that even when cooking sharks, Joey was still wrapped up tightly, with her seaweed-like hair covering half of her small face, making one wonder how she worked under such a view.

Before long, two large bowls of fragrant fish soup were served on the table.

With a few loaves of bread bought on the island, this makes for a decent dinner.

Xia En took a small sip of the shark soup, and the taste was unexpectedly delicious.

The expected fishy smell was very mild, within an acceptable range.

Aside from the variations in the shark's own physiological structure, Joey's culinary skills also played a significant role.

After finishing a bowl of hot soup, Xia En felt warm all over, and couldn't help but praise him.

"Joey, your cooking is pretty good!"

Joey smiled shyly: "I worked in a tavern on the island for two years and learned a few tricks from the master chef there. I know a little about cooking."

"Oh, so that's it."

Xia En casually asked, "Speaking of which, besides cooking, what else can you do? Can you dive and salvage?"

This was supposed to be a normal question, but Joey reacted quite strongly, coughing violently as if he had choked on a fishbone.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xia En frowned in surprise: "Hmm?"

Joey hesitated for a long time with his head down, but finally took the initiative to say, "Captain, let me be honest with you."

“I can do all the odd jobs on the ship, but my physical condition is different from that of ordinary people. I can’t swim in the sea, and I can’t be a salvage worker.”
