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

Chapter 83 Cargo Ship, Slightly Revealed Identity

"if not?"

"Hehe~ The Central Ring Road is not as good as the Inner Ring Road. I was just mistaking it."

There are three main types of human monks in the Colosseum:
The first type is slaves who were legally sold for various reasons. They have no human rights and are no different from monster resources.

Slaves have no choice but to keep trying their best to survive, to be redeemed by nobles, and to wait for the unknown light.

There is a contradiction here. Only those who perform better, are stronger and have more potential will be favored by nobles, but the more valuable the person is, the less willing the Colosseum is to sell him.

The second type is those who are in urgent need of money for various strange reasons. Small amounts of money cannot solve their big problems, so they can only take risks and use the Colosseum to make a small fortune.

As challengers, they come here to challenge the well-known strong ones. The odds of unknown newcomers challenging the strong ones/monsters are very high. They will put all their capital on the line. As long as they can succeed in an upset, plus the commission from the Colosseum, they can make a comeback.

However, there are very few people who can truly make a comeback, and most challengers become extra meals for old employees like Tiger Mask.

However, the Colosseum has certain realm requirements for such speculators. Even if they want to feed the monsters, they need to be in the late stage of Qi Refining. Otherwise, the outside of the Colosseum will be filled with people who overestimate their abilities.

As for those who actively seek to improve their skills, people like Lin Qianfan belong to the third category. There are actually very few such people, at least they are the smallest category in this remote Blue Coast Colosseum.

"What kind of opponent does Master Zou need? A demon beast or a cultivator? I will personally arrange one for you."

"I'm only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, so naturally I'll only challenge opponents at the seventh level. As long as they're cultivators, I won't consider monsters for now."

"We have some fighters at the seventh level of Qi Refining in the Colosseum. If you can defeat them all, the Colosseum can advertise for you and recruit other challengers."

The two then discussed many details in detail and communicated fully to ensure that their will was conveyed.

As for wages?

How can one get wages for labor that comes right to the door? Unless Lin Qianfan wins several games in a row and becomes famous enough to bring buzz and traffic to the Colosseum, he won't get any appearance fees.

During the negotiation,

Lin Qianfan refused a fight to the death and chose a duel to reduce the possibility of being assassinated.

Lin Qianfan refused the challenge of a higher level opponent and planned to start with an opponent at the seventh level of Qi Refining, accumulating popularity and gaining wealth at the same time.

Lin Qianfan refused to fight the monster, leaving himself some room for negotiation. He would wait until he became more famous and his strength had improved significantly in the future before finally coming out.

"This person is not an ordinary person. I was too frivolous."

After further contact with Lin Qianfan, Li Wanting was still unable to take the lead in the negotiations and even forgot her original purpose.

Leaving the South District,

Passing through the garrison, back to the North District.

“…It’s a long story. Back then, my family also…”

The market town was so small, and a familiar voice rang in my ears. The girl told people about the injustice and pain she had experienced.

"Yo, a brand new version!"

Lin Qianfan smiled and shook his head when he heard this. The tricks in this place are quite complicated. Any low-level cultivator has her own way of making a living.

"Sir, I finally found you."

As soon as Lin Qianfan arrived in the North District, he was stopped by a clerk from the shipyard. He looked a little anxious.

"What happened so quickly?"

"Sir, the shipyard just accepted a job to help repair a second-level spirit ship, and the owner sent me to find you..."

"Take me to see it!"

The sea is not a kind place. The closer you are to the outskirts of the archipelago, the more likely you are to encounter powerful monsters. Once you leave the archipelago, the probability of encountering powerful monsters increases sharply.

"Fortunately, the core components were not damaged, so it's not a big problem."

All the famous shipbuilders in Lan'an Market were recruited to work together to diagnose and repair this second-level spirit ship that had docked in an emergency.

This is a cargo ship, carrying a full load of various goods from the Yunchang Secret Island. It was attacked maliciously by a powerful sea monster when it passed through the outer waters of the Yulong Islands.

Fortunately, no one was killed or the ship was destroyed, otherwise it would have been a major disaster. Lin Qianfan easily stood out due to his experience maintaining the Sea Hunter and participating in the modification of other second-level spirit ships at the family shipyard, and was chosen by the merchant ship owner to lead the team.

Some shipbuilders who had never touched a second-level spirit ship could only help out and obey Lin Qianfan's orders.

There are only a few foundation-building cultivators in places like the Four Eastern Islands, and even fewer who possess second-level immortal cultivation skills. It is impossible to train a second-level shipbuilder.

Therefore, this temporarily docked second-level cargo ship needs to be urgently repaired to ensure that it can enter the Yulong Fairy City intact. Only when it arrives there can it be fully repaired.

"Are you... Chi?"

"Shh! Uncle Nineteen?"

"It's really you! When did you come... So you are..."

A second-level spirit ship docked, and its owner was naturally a foundation-building cultivator. For a remote second-level market like Lan'an Market, this was a visitor of very high standards.

In addition, the cargo ships were loaded with foreign goods, so all the important people in the Blue Shore Market came here, intending to try to promote interactive cooperation.

The two walked aside and talked in a low voice.

"Are you the new supervisory deacon?"

"What's the point of monitoring or not? It's just a sinecure."

"You are so capable, you came to Lan'an but didn't come to see me."

"I've only been here a few days, and I'm busy with work. I'll have to ask Uncle Nineteen to look after my nephew from now on."

"No! You're a supervisory deacon, legally half a level higher than me. I'm begging you to show some mercy."

"I won't talk about our uncle-nephew relationship, but I have to ask Uncle Nineteen not to make it public. I like some quiet time."

"Okay, I understand. Let's get together later."

Yanglong Bay is not very big, and Lin Qianfan still remembers some of the Lin family members with whom he had some interactions.

When Lin Qianfan was a child, his uncle Nineteenth was a small deacon at Yanglongwan Wharf. Now that he has been sent out, he has even more power.

Although we should keep a low profile, we don't have to hide our identity at all, otherwise it will only put pressure on others. Appropriately revealing your identity can make things easier and avoid a lot of trouble.

Lin Qianfan is clear about his position:

They need to play a supervisory role to justify their salary and presence, but they cannot easily disrupt the existing power structure, otherwise it will not be good for anyone.

“Thank you for your help, we…”

There is strength in numbers. The materials needed to repair the ship are readily available in the market. Under the leadership of Lin Qianfan and the shipwright on board, this cargo ship that looks badly damaged will soon be able to continue sailing.

The ship owner was also a sensible man. He not only rewarded the shipbuilders according to their work, but also reached a deal with several major forces in the market. In the end, everyone was happy.

When you are out and about, sometimes you should not be too frugal and maintain your feng shui so that it will be easier to deal with problems next time.

Toot~
As the cargo ship sailed away without stopping, the crowd gathered on the shore gradually dispersed.

"Mr. Zou, do you know Deacon Lin?"

Li Wanting stared at Lin Qianfan, who was forced to be in the spotlight tonight, with a look of suspicion.

"The two families are close to each other and have some old acquaintances."

"Then I'll have to rely on Master Zou to take care of me from now on."

"I'm just a shipwright."

Although the Colosseum is managed by the Li family, the property rights behind it belong to the Lin family, and Uncle Nineteen is considered their superior.

Although Lin Qianfan and Uncle Nineteen had only a brief contact, Uncle Nineteen, as one of the chief stewards who held real power on Blue Coast Island, was noticed by many people.

"Mr. Zou, you are joking. You are openly bullying me because I am inexperienced."
