Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 35 Newcomer Lin Qianshan, two ships working together
The Hunter is a large monster hunting ship and both the Third Master and the Blood Shark are at the late second stage of combat. Naturally, they don't catch fish much, but focus on hunting second stage monsters.

Second-level monsters are not all fools. When they encounter a strong enemy, they know to run for their lives, so the Third Master has to go out on the ship to fight. Therefore, the Hunter must have a deputy captain in the Foundation Establishment Stage to control the ship during wartime.

"You're half right. The Hunter did recruit a vice-captain, but he's not a casual cultivator. How can a casual cultivator be reliable?"

"He's a senior Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Yue family on Crescent Moon Island, with the strength of the third level. Their family recently produced a new Foundation Establishment cultivator, completing the handover between the old and the new, so the old Foundation Establishment cultivator has time to come out and earn money."

There are too many instabilities in independent cultivators, and the demon-hunting ship is too important and too private to allow independent cultivators to easily control the ship while they are building their foundation. The Yue family of Crescent Moon Island is a generational supporter of the Lin family, and their overall strength is not high, so they are qualified to be the deputy captain.

"And what about the other two boats?"

"The repaired Sea Hunter has been leased to the Tang family of Shangqiu Island, renamed the Shangqiu. The family will take it back in fifty years. The components of the last pirate ship have been dismantled and borrowed by various parties. Now only a frame remains. It will take some time to rebuild it."

The Tang family of Shangqiu Island is also a loyal vassal of the Lin family. Its overall strength is stronger than that of the Yue family of Wanyue Island, and it can provide boatmen.

It is risky for a monster hunting ship to go out to sea. The Lin family does not rely on monster hunting as its mainstay industry, so the number of monster hunting monks needs to be strictly controlled. Operating three monster hunting ships by themselves is already the current limit.

Rather than leaving the extra boats idle, it is better to rent them out.

Today, the Lin family in Yanglongwan is in a period of rapid growth in the number of monks. After the population increases, the number of monster-hunting ships and the scale of monster-hunting monks will be further expanded.

"Fifty years? It won't take us fifty years to build our foundation."

"Ha~ Let's talk about it later. By then, the tribe may have other new ships. If all else fails, we can just build a new one ourselves."

On board the Sea Hunter.

The No. 45 boatmen's station was neatly arranged for Master Jiu's inspection. Among these 45 people, only 15 were old boatmen from the Sea Hunter, 15 were new boatmen transferred from other merchant ships and passenger ships, and 15 were boatman apprentices who were going to sea for the first time.

There were originally thirty-something sailors on the Sea Hunter, but seven of them died in that naval battle. In addition, four others retired due to varying degrees of disability caused by serious injuries, so in the end there were only about twenty people left.

Because the Dolphin's crew was newly built but lacked skilled sailors, the family transferred a few people from the Stalker and the Sea Hunter to form the Dolphin's core crew, resulting in only veteran sailor No. 15 left on the Sea Hunter.

"Lin Qianbao!"

"To!"

"Lin Qianli will be yours from now on. You have to take care of him as carefully as you did with Lin Qianfan. Do you understand?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"Lin Qianfan!"

"To!"

"You will be the one taking care of Lin Qianshan from now on. You must take care of him as carefully as Lin Qianbao took care of you. Do you understand?"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Lin Qianfan took on the task of training newcomers seriously, but he was confused in his heart.

Me? Bringing new people?
I'm the new guy! Okay!

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Lin Qianfan, originally the youngest sailor on the Sea Hunter, was successfully promoted to an "old sailor" and even took in a novice apprentice.

"Brother Qianfan, please give me more guidance in the future."

The tall Lin Qianshan lowered his head, not daring to look directly at Lin Qianfan. "Don't be so reserved. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me directly. I will tell you everything I know."

Lin Qianfan added in his heart, I still have to ask mynah bird if I don’t understand something.

"Okay, Brother Qianfan, you know I'm very hardworking. Just ask me to do any dirty or tiring work."

Lin Qianshan and Lin Qianfan were classmates in the clan school and studied together for ten years.

But since Lin Qianshan was a first-generation five-spiritual-root cultivator born into a mortal family, he had been very inferior since childhood, so he had never really mixed with other brothers in the same clan. He was always submissive to everyone, and the two of them had not had much interaction before.

Logically speaking, he was not qualified to board the Monster Hunting Ship as he had not yet reached the fourth level of Qi Refining at the age of eighteen. However, due to his good performance in the previous six months and the urgent need for reliable personnel to expand the Monster Hunting Ship, he got this precious opportunity to board the ship.

"Work hard. It's not a disgrace to be born in humble circumstances. A true hero is someone who seizes opportunities and strives to change his destiny."

Lin Qianfan is not immune to back pain.

Lin Qianfan's family was born into mortal families several generations ago, but by his grandfather's great-grandfather's generation, they had successfully completed the primitive accumulation, bought their own first-class spirit ship, and became fish feeders, thus beginning to escape from the bottom of the Lin family.

It was only until these two generations that they began to plan to lay the foundation.

"Brother Qianfan, you really know how to talk."

In fact, it is really hard to say who is older and who is younger. It’s just that Lin Qianshan calls everyone brother or sister. After calling them that so many times, everyone has accepted it. No one cares about the specific age relationship with him.

Due to the substantial personnel adjustments, the status of the old staff has all risen a lot. For example, Lin Qianfan has initially gotten rid of some miscellaneous jobs that do not require any technical skills, and he will have a higher priority in distributing spoils in the future, and his ranking will be much higher.

The cultivation levels of the newcomers are basically at the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth levels of Qi Refining, so Lin Qianfan's cultivation level is finally not the lowest.

"Actually, you don't need to flatter anyone. On the ship, you only speak based on your ability. Others only look at what you do, not what you say. Jiu Ye monitors the entire ship like a mirror. So, talk less and do more in the future. You may be able to break through to the late stage of Qi Refining and become a deacon in the future."

Seeing that Lin Qianshan was honest but kept putting on a false smile, Lin Qianfan said something from his heart to him in a somewhat inappropriate way, and it depended on how much he could understand.

"Brother Qianfan, I understand!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qianshan stopped grinning, his expression gradually calmed down, and his eyes became more determined.

Toot~
After everyone reallocated the teams, the new Sea Hunter finally embarked on its first voyage.

"Uncle Gui, we will be in the same class from now on."

"That's right. It took me three years to transfer to the ship repair team, but it only took you half a year. Your future is limitless."

Due to the previous injury of a shipbuilder and the transfer of another shipbuilder, the Sea Hunters are short of shipbuilders. Uncle Gui has now become the team leader of the shipbuilder team.

Although Lin Qianfan is not yet an official first-class shipbuilder, he is the most reliable person under Uncle Gui. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a capable assistant. Therefore, Lin Qianfan's identity has changed, his status has greatly increased, and even his basic monthly salary has become 15 points per month.

Toot~
As the Sea Hunter sailed out of Yanglong Bay, the Dolphin slowly followed, and the two ships sailed towards the northwest, one in front and the other behind.

Although the Eighth Master established his foundation earlier than the Ninth Master, he is still stuck at the third level of foundation building. I heard that it is not because of resource problems, but because the Eighth Master suffered some kind of injury that prevented him from advancing.

Therefore, Mr. Ba, who was the captain for the first time, had to drive the Dolphin, which was on its first voyage, and follow behind the Sea Hunter as a teaser boat.

Otherwise, with a new captain, new crew and a new ship, the family would really be worried about them running away like that.
