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

Chapter 73 Zou Ji Boat Shop, New Master Chef
"It was taken over by someone..."

Having said this, the girl's originally enthusiastic mood cooled down a lot, and the light in her eyes also dissipated a lot.

"Oh? Tell me!"

"Sir, do you really want to listen?"

Although Lin Qianfan was not wearing the Lin family's standard robe, the ordinary casual robe was obviously very expensive.

Coupled with his unfathomable aura and rock-steady demeanor, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

"Look at you."

The world is full of injustice and oppression. Lin Qianfan is not a great saint. He just has a little interest in the past of this passionate girl, but he doesn't want to say it or not.

"Ugh…"

“Actually, my family originally…”

This spirit stone is not easy to earn. First, I accompanied Lin Qianfan on a journey for most of the day, and now I have to talk about sad things.

But this is obviously not the first time. The little girl's narrative is clear and logical, and she explains it quickly.

The story is simple:
Xiaoshi's parents borrowed money to buy the stone house cave with a loan period of 70 years, but an accidental injury caused them to stop paying the mortgage, and the cave was auctioned off and liquidated. Now the whole family is squeezed into the slums of the West District.

As for why not leaving Lan'an Market?
There is still a chance of turning things around if you stay here, but if you choose to leave and go into the wilderness, you will never be able to turn things around.

Lin Qianfan did not comment on the girl's experience. In the world of immortal cultivation, countless people go bankrupt or even lose their lives every day. In comparison, the Blue Shore Island under the rule of the Lin family is a paradise.

"Sir, we've arrived at Zou Ji Boat Shop on Shuimo Street."

Lin Qianfan was quite satisfied with this guide. Although he kept talking along the way, he was able to get a lot of information out of him, so he rewarded him with two extra fasting pills.

Low-grade spirit stones are already the smallest standard currency in the world of immortal cultivation, but one spirit stone can purchase multiple other resources that can serve as smaller currency units, including fasting pills.

"Thank you for the reward, sir! Do you need a guide tomorrow?"

The girl was very happy to receive the reward and her eyes were full of anticipation.

"No need, see you again someday!"

The girl felt sorry for him, thinking that a customer with this kind of temperament might not come across once a year, and there would be many benefits if she could establish a good relationship with him.

Zou Ji Boat Shop.

"Sir, do you want to order a boat or repair it?"

Seeing that there were guests coming, the boatman ran out to greet them very tactfully. It seemed that he had been well-educated in the etiquette.

"Is the shopkeeper in the market?"

Chuanfang is different from other shops. It is close to a river on the edge of the market town. It covers a large area and cannot be seen clearly at a glance.

"Yes, yes, sir, what can I do for you? I'll pass it on to you right away."

Not everyone can meet the owner of the shipyard, but as the saying goes, clothes make the man, and Lin Qianfan's appearance clearly shows that he is not an ordinary person who comes to tease the shop assistants, so he needs to ask about his specific purpose so that he can explain to the owner.

"It's good that it's here. This is my token of love. He will recognize it."

The token is just a pattern. This pattern does not represent the Lin family, but is a unique seal in the Yanglongwan supervision system.

"I'll pass the message right away!"

This Zou Ji Boathouse is a private property of the Lin family in Yanglong Bay, and it is also the place that Lin Qianfan chose in advance to stay on this trip.

The shopkeeper here is naturally a member of the Yanglongwan Lin family. In terms of status and functions, Lin Qianfan is his new superior.

Soon, a middle-aged man came out from the back hall with quick steps.

"Son!"

"Uncle Zou!"

"Sir, don't stand outside. Let's talk inside."

The shopkeeper had never met Lin Qianfan before, but after seeing the token and Lin Qianfan's age, he could probably guess his true identity, so he didn't dare to underestimate him. "This courtyard has a spirit gathering array, and the spiritual energy concentration can reach the early stage of the second stage. Cultivation here is very efficient. In addition, there is a small five-element array for protection. Generally, those in the late stage of Qi training cannot break in for several minutes."

Uncle Zou led Lin Qianfan directly to the best courtyard in the shipyard. Lin Qianfan naturally would not refuse. This was the treatment that a foundation-building seed should enjoy.

"Sir, your trip..."

Uncle Zou hadn't been back to Yanglong Bay for a long time, so he could only make a rough guess and had no idea where Lin Qianfan came from. Today, he came directly to the house, and he hadn't received any instructions in advance.

"I'm mainly here for experience, so I might have to stay for a few years."

"What about the supervision?"

"Everything remains the same. I will make my own judgment."

The management of Lan'an Market is somewhat complicated.

Since the Lin family does not directly send foundation-building cultivators, but the second-level market is very large and requires foundation-building cultivators to be stationed there at all times, the stationed cultivators are sent in turns by the three major local families.

Among the three major local families, the Fengling Island Le family and the Jasmine Island Mi family have only had one foundation-building cultivator for a long time, and only in the decades before and after the succession of inheritance will two foundation-building cultivators appear.

Therefore, the Li family of Dongning Island is stationed at the monastic residence most of the time.

As the Li family is the resident monks in the market town, the core powers of the market town, such as public security, defense, and taxation, are mainly controlled by them, and the other two families can only assist.

And what role does the Lin family play?

The Lin family only sent a handful of key personnel: a tax steward, two general stewards, and a supervisory steward, who held the greatest power, along with a handful of core subordinates.

The tax steward is in charge of all financial income and expenditure issues of the garrison, ensuring that the three major local families do not fool the Lin family and that taxes are collected on time and in full.

The two general stewards are in charge of the Lin family's local businesses, including but not limited to the leasing of spirit islands and properties, leasing and selling spirit ships, family shops, auctions, arenas, etc.

Compared to the busy first three, the position of supervisory deacon is much less busy, and no one even knows whether he is at work or not.

As long as the overall situation here is not chaotic and the financial collection each year is consistent, there will be no problem.

Will there be any problems for other people?

Guaranteed! 100% there will be no problems!
But some problems are difficult to eliminate. There are a thousand ideas and a thousand minds among a thousand people.

As long as it does not infringe upon Lin Qianfan's personal interests, as long as it does not harm the collective interests of the family, and as long as it does not bring about adverse negative effects, Lin Qianfan would rather practice hard and build his foundation as soon as possible.

The next day.

Lin Qianfan successfully joined Zou Ji Shipyard and became a master shipbuilder.

Since he was already here, Lin Qianfan didn't mind getting an extra salary.

However, salary is secondary. The main purpose is to take the opportunity to improve my skills as a shipbuilder.

After all, there are all kinds of first-level spirit ships, and there are always some that Lin Qianfan has never encountered. Every time at this time, it is a good opportunity to learn and improve skills.

"Mr. Zou, I am honored to meet you."

Lin Qianfan's current identity is a young man who came from the Zou family to gain wealth and status. He is not here to compete with other master chefs for their jobs, so everyone is quite respectful to him, and there are even many apprentices who want to curry favor with him.

"It doesn't have to be like this..."

Lin Qianfan is not a spoiled person. On the contrary, he is humble, kind and gentle to others, which leaves a good impression on others.

In fact, real young masters are not all arrogant and dissolute. On the contrary, they have good backgrounds, good resources, broad knowledge, and high vision. They often have high pursuits and are unwilling to have too much entanglement with ordinary people.

Today, Lin Qianfan is seen as an extraordinary figure by the master craftsmen and various apprentices in the shipyard.

"You are indeed a young master from a prominent family!"

As for where the Zou family came from, ordinary people would not understand.

Even if someone were to investigate, there really was a foundation-building family with the surname Zou in the inner circle of the Yulong Islands, and there would be a young man named Zou Ji in the family tree.

"Master, there will be several deathmatches at the Blue Coast Arena tomorrow. I've already secured admission for you..."
