I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 381 Activity Port
In a region of the Torridge Islands with complex hydrography, a small port surrounded by reefs and linked together by dozens of specially designed ships is thriving.

There are quite a few such reef ports on this sea, and they all do illegal business. Compared to fixed ports, these mobile ports are more flexible. They can disguise themselves as normal caravans when bringing in goods. As long as they frequently change their routes, they can largely avoid the eyes and ears of the authorities.

Moreover, the cost is relatively low. A few ships or even hundreds of ships can be used to build a temporary port. While they are also used for logistics, their profits can be more than a hundred times that of similar merchant ships.

After all, they had offended the Reid family. Even in the black market, there was no guarantee that there were no Reid family informants. Therefore, privately operated activity ports became the only option for the targets on the list.

However, because the location of the mobile port changes frequently, only regular customers can obtain relevant information through special frequency bands. It was only with the guidance of Xiaolingdang that Feng Xue learned how to locate the mobile port by observing the frequency and quantity of goods handled by the normal commercial port.

"The guest is a new face!"

As the small speedboat docked, dock workers immediately gathered around. Feng Xue instantly put on a fierce but cowardly expression and angrily rebuked them:
"What? The newcomer can't come?"

The dockworker was a worldly man; he could tell at a glance that this was probably a greenhorn who had just set sail and had come here to broaden his horizons, having somehow gotten hold of the news.

The staff didn't mind this kind of naive kid who just ran out to court death on a whim. Such people were willing to spend money and were also suitable as cannon fodder. They simply scanned him with the terminal to make sure he wasn't carrying a transmitting device that could bypass the port's interference equipment, nor was it a registered hook, and then let him pass without hesitation.

The smooth arrival in Hong Kong did not make Feng Xue feel relaxed. Fina knew very well why he was nervous, because she could also feel that the eyes that had been following him ever since he left Reid's house had not disappeared even now.

Although knocking them down or shaking them off was relatively easy for the two of them, it also meant that their infiltration mission had failed.

However, being under surveillance meant that the two couldn't use many of their methods. Feng Xue had considered pushing it onto the Earth Fragment, but the Earth Fragment was still a rare commodity, and all the major families were quite wary of it. Not to mention the lower-level members, even the few that Feng Xue had specifically placed in the direct line of the families were being kept under surveillance and required to assist in the research. Only a very few individuals were able to escape their families first.

In other words, this mission may truly only be possible through physical abilities and wits.

Feng Xue's physical condition was only barely above the level of a third-degree disabled person, "defective." Even if she secretly used martial arts cultivation qi and blood to strengthen her body, she could barely reach the standard.

Fina's problem is that her physical strength is too strong. Even without possessing a body, she is already of excellent lower rank. In order not to carry a dog with her, she maintains a combined state, and her physical strength reaches excellent upper rank. Even an ordinary pirate would have a hard time breaking her skin if he hits her with a single slash.

"Let's take it one step at a time," Feng Xue muttered to herself, but she adopted the arrogant demeanor of a newly arrived pirate, walking with an air of nonchalance, leading her somewhat effeminate companion toward the tavern.

Besides supplying goods, the port also has taverns, tea houses, and casinos for pirates to relax. In addition, there are appraisal agencies for selling stolen goods. It is small but complete.

Besides serving food and drinks, taverns also functioned as a job market.

There is never a shortage of accidents on this sea. Whether it is a ship that is damaged beyond repair, a captain who is killed by a bounty hunter and faces disbandment, or simply seeing the limits of his abilities and wanting to find a big tree to shelter under, there are always all kinds of pirates who need a new home.

After all, it's impossible for a normal pirate crew to avoid losses.

Feng Xue and Fina entered the tavern and saw that a space had been cleared in the center of the makeshift stall. Two tall, burly men were clashing repeatedly. Although their movements were rough, their superb balance indicated they were seasoned veterans of the sea. Before a winner could be decided, they were stopped by several pirates whose posture suggested they were big shots. Seeing someone receive an offer, the remaining smaller pirates became excited. Every now and then, one or two would jump onto the stage, demonstrate their abilities, and be chosen by a big shot. Of course, there were also unlucky ones who were ignored and, after looking around, could only leave the stage amidst laughter.

Feng Xue's attention was clearly not on the arena. As the route that Xiao Lingdang had specially selected, there were three targets on the list in this tavern. As long as she took care of two of them, she could complete this mission.

The port does not prohibit private battles between pirates, as long as they do not harm the ships or staff that make up the port.

If someone is actually injured, then the business that operates in this area naturally has the ability to recover compensation.

However, the three people were seated relatively far apart, making it almost impossible to eliminate them all at once. But if one of them was killed, the others would likely become more cautious.

Thinking of this, Feng Xue immediately lowered her voice and began to discuss it with Fina, or more precisely, with Sarah.

After all, Fina is bipolar, and discussing things with her will either lead to emo or reckless decisions, and you basically won't get any results.

Seeing a cheer erupt from the tavern and another newcomer take the stage, Feng Xue pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea. She ran to the front desk and ordered two drinks, having already made up her mind.

"Are you sure this will work?" Sarah hesitated upon hearing Feng Xue's plan, but Fina didn't even give her a chance to object before happily saying:
"Why not! Absolutely! I can definitely do it! Watch me dominate the whole place!"

Having said that, as if afraid that Sarah would give an explanation that would trigger her mental constructs, he jumped onto the arena and immediately pointed at the one of the three targets whose combat strength was neither high nor low, saying:
"So you're Boris, huh? Let me see what makes you think you deserve a 1.5 million bounty!"

"Hahaha!"

"Boris was used as a stepping stone!"

"I've been taken advantage of!"

Fina's declaration immediately sparked laughter in the tavern. It's common for young pirates who have just set sail to challenge pirates with bounties in order to gain fame, but most of them will fail miserably. Those who do win, however, often become famous figures at sea.

The guy in front of him was clearly a rookie who had just set sail, and he even spoke a little incoherently. Experienced pirates could tell at a glance that the one who came up with the idea was actually the cunning kid who came in with him. It seemed that he was unsure of the strength of the big pirate, so he tricked his little follower into coming up to test the waters first.

"This kid got sold out and is still helping the seller count the money!"

Upon realizing this, the pirates laughed even louder.
